We are sorry to learn you are disappointed in this set, CEE. Here are some tips to help maintain your cookware: 1) Cook on low to medium heat. 2) Allow cookware to cool down to room temperature before washing. 3) Hand washing is recommended, although the cookware is dishwasher safe. 4) Never use hard objects on the nonstick surface. 5) Place a piece of paper towel or cookware protector between each piece when storing. 6) Be cautious when placing the pans on and off any location. A deep cleaning of the non-stick surface can help restore performance. This may include soaking overnight in hot, soapy water and then thoroughly washing the surface the next morning. If you are still unhappy with the set, please know you can return it for a full refund as part of the Member’s Mark 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

We are sorry the cookware set did not meet your expectations, Audrey. Ceramic coatings can also form a protective film through seasoning, following these steps: 1) Thoroughly clean and dry the pan to ensure no residual moisture or stains on the inner wall; 2) Turn on low heat to dry the pan, switch to very low heat, and evenly apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the inner wall (it is recommended to use heat-resistant oils such as rapeseed oil or corn oil, avoiding easily oxidizable oils like olive oil); 3) Maintain very low heat for 1-2 minutes to allow the oil to fully penetrate the coating pores, then turn off the heat and let the pan cool completely; 4) Pour off excess oil and wipe off surface floating oil with a soft cloth (no need for thorough cleaning). The non-stick performance will gradually recover during subsequent cooking.

Hi, Ann, we are sorry to hear about your experience. This cookware features a stainless steel stay-flat base designed for use with induction cooking surfaces. The diameter of the pan's induction base should be equal to or larger than the size of the induction element one is using. If the pan's induction base is much smaller than the induction heating element, the induction sensor may not recognize the pan and will not activate (heat). Please remember that all Member's Mark items can be returned for a full refund at any time as part of our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
