I was skeptical about some of the reviews regarding the chipping and paint coming off. Unfortunately it’s true. I’ve had my set for 20 days and used a pan and a pot maybe 3-4 times ( washed with extra care store in separate place with Felt dividers to protect them yet somehow the top rim is chipping and the handles already have rust! For something that’s this pricey and supposed to last this is definitely not normal. I will say I’ve never seen pans and pots cook so well and have never had to scrub anything! You can literally clean the. With just water! But the company should definitely look into the chipping and rust I get it pans will chip and get old but after a significant amount of time not 3 weeks of rare use! . It ruined it for me and I’ve sent an email to make a return.
