I have tried every pot and pan set there is. All the very expensive brands. They ALL have ended up chipping off the coating of the interior of the pan. This set finally does as they promise! They are ideal in weight and cook so evenly. You literally can clean up so easily you won't need to put them in the diswasher. Yet...they are dishwasher safe! Buy no other! After I have given them a longer trial run. I will look for a larger dutch over and frying pan to complete my set.
