I really wanted to love this set. They’re absolutely gorgeous and feel well made. After using them lightly(I’ve been gone a lot) I already have a scratch in my small saucepan and one in my taller stock pot. For saying they are “safe for use with all utensils, including metal” I feel this is not accurate. I use only nylon or silicone utensils, so for my saucepan to be scratched is beyond me. The stock pot had the smaller saucepan with the spouts set inside and the spout scratched the inside of the pot. For the price of these, they shouldn’t scratch so easily. I have used many, many types of cookware and I’m not sure that I would buy these again just based on the scratch factor. I am super attentive about hand washing my cookware and these do wash well. I want to love them... maybe with more use.
