This set is beautiful to look at, I won't deny that. We're a blue-collar home with three Pomskies, and our kitchen gets sun year-round, so black kitchenware isn't practical — dust shows instantly. I chose the cream-colored pans with gold handles. Elegant? Yes. Durable for heavy daily use? Absolutely not. Before fully committing, I tested a single pan to see if I liked it. I used the recommended heat setting (low to medium). After about 10 minutes of slowly warming the pan, yellow flaws started appearing under the coating. At first, I thought it was my eyes. After cooking, I let the pan come to full cooling temperature. About an hour later, while washing dishes, vacuuming, and mopping, I hand-washed the pan with a sponge (no dishwasher — we use ours as a drying rack because of limited counter space). I dried it and set it on a towel on the counter next to the sink. After finishing, I turned on every bright light in the kitchen, and my boyfriend checked it thoroughly top to bottom. He also found more yellowing. He has experience painting cars and as a mechanic, so he knows how coatings should hold up and can spot flaws if the prep was done incorrectly — this was clearly too thin. Over the same week, I tried the other pans, spaced out, after washing and drying them carefully. Every single pan showed similar flaws under the coating, despite using only silicone spatulas, ladles, and spoons. The pans come with lids, which is useful, but that's the only positive. They scratch easily, cannot be stacked, and require constant gentle handling. I cook every day and handle cookware carefully, but this set is not made for real daily use. It's fine for occasional cooking or for kitchen aesthetics, but if you cook large meals, prep multiple dishes, or have limited cabinet space, this set is not practical. This is my third Sam's Club cookware set in 20 years, and despite the gaps, nothing has improved — thin coating, easily scratched, not truly nonstick. My Marshall's ceramic cookware, nearly ten years old, outperforms these hands-down. Beautiful? Yes. Durable? Absolutely not.

I was waiting off on writing this review. I'd give more stars because they are attractive pans but I just can't. I purchased this set to replace my last set that lasted 3 years that I got from Marshall's that just started going bad (sticking). I bought this set on February 1st. It's now march 12, I noticed the pans starting to stick after just 2 uses. And I know how to care for non-stick pans. I use both nonstick and stainless steel. I can't use these pans anymore already after A MONTH. The 9.5”%26 the 11”.They are starting to discolor, and I can't even cook eggs on them anymore at all and I use EVOOil stray every time and use med-low heat. My old pans were cheaper and lasted 3 YEARS. So I know it's not user error on my part. It sucks because I only had to replace 2 of my old set but they were black and I wanted everything to match. So I spent 200$ on these and these pans are worse after a month than my old ones were at 3 years old. Tell me how that works And I tried to upload pictures and it won't let me, it says “the operation couldn't be completed.(UGC.NetworkClientError error1.)”

Beautiful set aesthetically, but took forever to boil water, heat,fry, or cook anything on my induction cooktop. It just doesn't magnetically connect well with induction. So l, exchanging this set for the $249 tramontia stainless set that has much better reviews for induction cooking.

absolute beautiful set, but not meant for heavy use. this is my main set of cookware and even with using no metal ever in them, they have still scratched and chipped within a year. disappointing 😞

Came with a huge scratch, and I didn't know until I cooked with it and then now there's a big brown ring in the middle of my pan. Plus a huge scratch.

I purchased this set over a year ago and it is fantastic! Easy to clean, doesn't scratch and still looks good after using daily. Would definitely purchase again but won't have to anytime soon.

I bought this cookware initially drawn by the sleek and modern design. I was taking a chance on the deliverance of durability and functionality. I bought the white set about six months ago and i can honestly say I am very impressed with the overall performance of the entire set. I cook for a family of 6 and use this ceramic cookware at least 5 days a week. The cooking overall performance is very impressive from maintaining heat balance to durability. No scratches or dullness thus far!

This cookware set is very beautiful! We are so sad to have to return it. I purchased this because I got a new induction cooktop and needed the appropriate type of pans and these were SO pretty and priced well! A month after I had my stove, I had a problem with the control panel and had the appliance tech come to service the oven. While he was there I expressed my disappointment that it took forever to boil water on a stovetop that was marketed to take mere seconds. He told me to get my iron frying pan and my member's mark frying pan and put them both on the stove at the same time to test the stove out. the iron pan boiled in 3 seconds!!!! the members mark pan took 10 minutes :( we switched burners to make sure and it was the same result. The tech turned the pots over and used a level on the bottom of the pan set and with each pot only one ring of dots was level and touching the glass top. If the pots are not flat and able to touch the stove surface then they can't work. I love these pots and really hate to return them. They would work well on a gas stove (maybe an electric?) but not an induction stovetop.

I am so sad to write this because I searched high and low for this set for months on end. Finally found the cream set and wow were my dreams crushed. This beautiful gorgeous set does not have any durability. They stained the first time using them despite immediately hand washing once I was done using so don’t think about using any colored sauces. Also if anything burns in the pan it will strain it forever. I only used the on medium low heat and still had scorch marks on the bottoms from the burners as well. The cream is chipping on the outside after 2 uses. And the pot with the strainer is impossible to use together. It overflows with a box of Kraft macaroni even only putting enough water to cover the pasta and it continuously spills out the sides creating more burn marks. I’m mad at myself for spending the money and selling my nice calphalon set for this. While it is so beautiful it’s not worth it.

Like others we really wanted to cream colored but haven’t caught them in stock so we bought the navy/gold and they are beautiful! I was hesitant to order because reviews complained about the induction capabilities but figured I could easily return if they didn’t work. THEY WORK on induction. Like any induction pan, you have to use the appropriate burner. My only complaint is that they really require a light oil every single time you use them and are not the most nonstick they should be. But it’s ok they make up for that small flaw with cost. I’m pretty gentle with my pans but 2 lids came with rubbed off paint along the edge of the lids. That didn’t bother me so much but that’s why they lost a star.
