I have used Rachel Rae cookware for over 7 years.  When I saw the purple I had to have it.  So pretty.  I wash by hand and only use silicone.  My older set I would hit the edges with a wood or bamboo spoon and the edges started to peel.  I also got lazy and was putting it in the dishwasher.  So far no issues with only using my silicone utensils and hand washing. Lighter weight for easier handling as well!  Love it!
