I love my pots! They are the best that I've ever owned it's so easy to clean after cooking nothing ever gets burnt and sticks to the pan I love them so much I take very well care of them I even went out and bought a new utensils just to use for them I don't want to scratch them it doesn't seem that it's easy to do so but it is best to just go ahead and get silicone everything just to keep them good for a while
