Best purchase
Didn't hold up at all
I stalked this set for MONTHS because it was constantly sold-out. I finally purchased it and after using it for most of this year, I've come to realize that it sucks. The color is chipping off each piece, and the "non-stick" ceramic is no longer "non-stick". This set isn't for constant, everyday use. I'm so disappointed. It's now my "spare set" as I've since invested in a proper, durable, reputable cookware set.
Just ok ... chipping issues
We've had this for exactly 1 year now. For the most part, love the set. But one of the lids has chips at the holes, the large lid has a lot of discoloration, and a small lid is showing some chips on edges. The chips are really bothering me, but not sure if that's enough for me to actually return this set. I wish they'd let me exchange JUST the one lid with the chips ... possible?
We apologize for any inconveniences you may have encountered and would like to offer some tips on how to protect this set: To avoid potential issues such as metal fatigue, warping, deformation, degradation of the non-stick coating, chipping, and discoloration, it is recommended to cook on low to medium heat, rather than high heat or extreme temperature changes. While our product is dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing for optimal results. Before washing, always ensure that the cookware has completely cooled down to room temperature. It is crucial to prevent open flames from reaching the walls of the cookware. For the lids to exchange, please reach out to our Member Support team at (888) 301-0332.
interior amazing, exterior lacking
Let me preface saying that I wanted to love these so much. However, I have a wolf range and after 2 uses the exterior has chipped. I followed all instructions with washing, drying, heat medium low, etc. ! The inside tho is amazing but I am unfortunately returning! Perhaps a lower powered cooktop would be better.
Thank you for the feedback and for following the instructions. Here are a few more tips for using ceramic cookware: 1. Cook on low to medium heat, always. Since aluminum provides excellent conductivity and delivers even heat distribution, high heat is unnecessary. The use of high heat can permanently discolor and reduce the durability of the cookware. 2. Selecting proper burner size, so heat touches the bottom of the cookware and does not climb up the side walls. 3. We recommend carefully placing pans on and off because sliding across metal stovetops may damage the cookware base.

Changes Color
I was so exciting to buy this set when they came out in the color pink. But after 2 uses my pans have changed color and his no longer pink but has became a white color. They cook food adequate enough for the price, but I’m very disappointed that they color isn’t staying pink because that is the reason why I bought the set. I would not recommend this product.
Thank you for the feedback and review, Erin, we truly appreciate it. Please remember that all Member's Mark items come with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and can be returned at any time. We also suggest cooking on low to medium heat and to let pans cool completely before cleaning. Though they are dishwasher safe, handwashing is also recommended to help retain the integrity of the pans.
Would not recommend-non-stick coating is fragile
I bought this set when I moved into our new house, Oct 2022. I have been using them regularly and usually hand wash them. I love the thickness of the pans and have had no trouble with things sticking but I would not buy them again and would not recommend them to anyone. I started noticing the coating was chipping off around the top edge on my pots that I have stacked. Then I noticed the non-stick coating is chipping off inside the sauce pan. I haven't noticed it happening yet on the skillets. It's a beautiful set but will not last and it's not exactly a throw away price. I paid a little more thinking I would get better quality. I don't want any of the coating getting into our food so I have one less sauce pan. HomeGoods, here I come. Probably should have purchased them from there in the first place.
We're sorry for this experience with the set, Miss. Please know you can exchange or return it for a full refund as part of the Member's Mark 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. We do have a few tips to help maintain your set: Use cookware protectors when stacking pieces. Refrain from using metal utensils or hard objects on the surface of the cookware.
Don't hold up well at all.
These pans didn't make it 6 months before the inner coating started coming off. I don't use metal utensils. That annoyed me enough, but now one of them ruined 10 bucks of ingredients because it can't properly distribute heat. Over the same heat, it'd be boiling one minute and not the next, then suddenly scorching my fudge. These were a total waste of money.
We are sorry to hear about your experience, Pookie. Our cookware is equipped with a stainless steel stay-flat base specifically designed for use with induction cooking surfaces. It is important to ensure that the diameter of the pan’s induction base is equal to or larger than the size of the induction element being used. If the pan’s induction base is significantly smaller than the induction heating element, the induction sensor might not recognize the pan and therefore not activate the heat evenly.

Nice looking pots but….
These pots are nice to look at but unfortunately the frying pans stick and its so hard to clean. Also anything that drops on the outside of the pot stains. My pots were stained after the first couple of uses. I would upload a photo but it keeps giving an error. I bought 2 sets of these pots and would prob throw them out next year.
We are sorry for your experience with the cookware, Mariam. Here are some tips to help you protect this set.1) Cook using LOW to MEDIUM HEAT ONLY. The leading cause of material to lose non-stick nature is the use of very high temperature. It could be fatal and damages the ceramic layers causing the material to lose its non-stick nature. 2) Always cool down to room temperature before washing, and hand washing is recommended.3) Due to highly efficient heating, the food juice may be carbonized on the ceramic cooking surfaces at high temperatures, forming tiny black dirt marks. To help remove staining, 1. Pour vinegar onto a scrubbing pad and scrub the stain. Vinegar is effective in removing most stains. 2. Make a paste of 1 tablespoon baking soda and 2 tablespoons vinegar in a pan and fill with warm water. Let the pan sit for a few hours, then scrub the stains.

Pretty, but fry pans lasted less than a year...
Bought these because they were lighter than my cast iron which I can't lift anymore. We cook for 2 at average temps, wait until cool to clean, hand wash and use only wood or silicone utensils. We know how to correctly remove stains and are very careful with the pans, lids and pots. We store them on felt liners. These were very cute and the gold handles hold up very well. However the exterior paint and interior finish on the fry pans just does not hold up. They lasted less than a year, which should be factored into your consideration of the true cost of these pans.
Thank you for your following the instructions, C8. To restore the non-stick performance, we recommend soaking the cookware overnight in hot, soapy water and thoroughly washing the surface the next morning. To protect the exterior paint, 1) please be careful not to overflow during cooking. 2) Avoid sliding the cookware across the cooktops or any other surface. 3) Keep sharp objects away from the cookware surface.
chips very easily
Oh I was very excited to get this pan set. I read the instructions and was very careful in handling and washing. I placed pan protectors between them and hand washed them used low heat. Not a month into using them and the lids have chips and the paint is bubbling up. Very unimpressed with these pans and will be returning for a full refund.
