In general, the cookware set is designed to last 4-5 years. However, if you do proper care and maintenance, cookware life can be extended. The best way to extend the life of your cookware set is to clean it after each use. You can check with the manufacturer if it needs to be hand washed or if it can be put in the dishwasher. Also, make sure to use the right temperature and burner size to extend the life of your cookware.
