Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update 4/9/2016. Hey I've used these pots for one year and they look like the day I bought them except for a scratch in my frying pan where my husband decided to cut the fat off a piece of ham right in the pan. I saw him and catch him before he made the next cut, thus the scratch. They wash up great and I still love them. The bottoms of the pots although finely ribbed does not scratch my stove top. I use only the teflon like tools. I forgot on prior review to add a teflon large spoon and slotted spoon came with my set. Added shortly after the review below: I washed the pots and pans and that gritty feeling in the largest frying pan is gone. Also because these are aluminum they can't be used on induction range. The bottom of the pots and pans do feel ridged like they could possibly scratch a glass top stove and I have a glass top stove and will report back on this in a few weeks. Just received item today. I did not know the inside is a shimmering type finish like it has ground up glass or mica in the finish. Because it is made in China I am very concerned about that. The set feels of a substantial -moderate weight and you can see the aluminum in the product where the outside paint goes up to the top edge of the pots and pans but does not cover the top edge. The set looks very nice in appearance and says it can be used on all cookware types except induction. The lids fit well have a vent hole, and sets handles are riveted on and feel nice to the touch. No where in the one folded 1 page leaflet nor on the box does it say that the coating on these pots and pans are free of harmful chemicals. When you take your fingertips and run across the nonstick interior bottom of the largest frying pan, you can feel those shimmering things in the paint under your fingertips like fine ground up glass but smooth in the other pots. I will be BOLD and use these a while and give you an update on whether the interior of large fry pan continues to feel the same way,or is getting perfectly smooth because if smooth you will know that this interior is coming off in your food little by little.The box says"nonstick coating" gives long lasting superior nonstick performance. The Box also has written in a Circle. Premium on top of circle , Ceramic on the bottom of circle and NONSTICK very big through the center of the circle.. So is it the outside or inside that is ceramic. I will definitely update you folks later because it took me a long time to makeup my mind which set of Ceramic Interior Cookware I wanted to order as things can look different in person. I included photos of these pots and the bottom so you can see for yourself. If anyone knows for sure that the insides are "ceramic or white Teflon" lets me know because I have that question in my mind. ceramic??? I do not want to be misled. My other Ceramic interior pot does not have shimmering glass looking specs all in the paint.
