I bought this back in March of 2021 for the primary reason that it was nonstick and safe for metal utensils. With normal everyday use every pan has large scratches on it, I typically use wood and plastic cooking utensils and quit using metal completely when I saw such distinct scratches being made. I do put them in the dishwasher as it says they are dishwasher safe, so I’m not sure that has any bearing on it. Looking for new cookware as I’ve read chips in nonstick can be toxic. I really wanted to like these as it retains heat very well and food does not stick, but the chipping and scratches make me feel uncomfortable using them.
