Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have had this cookware set for about a year and a half now. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with how well they've held up given some of the reviews saying they were garbage within 3 months. Many of the reviewers stated that they used and cleaned them properly, but still had issues with staining, fading, chipping, or exploding lids, etc. Mine have a little wear and tear, which I'd expect, after a year and a half, but the color has not faded at all, the Teflon is still unscratched, isn't peeling, is basically like new. I always hand wash with hot water and use dawn soap with a non-abrasive sponge. I only use coated, silicone or wood spoons, whisks, etc. And, I use the right size pot for the right size burner (gas stove). This makes a BIG difference. Honestly, I'd never really thought about it before, but it mentions this in the care instructions. If you let flames shoot up the sides of the pot you're going to get discoloration or browning on the bottom and/or edges. I've seen that in previous sets I've owned, but didn't realize that was the cause. So, with this set, I've been careful to not let that happen and its worked! Thankfully, I have not had a lid explode on me as some others have experienced. I'm crossing my fingers that doesn't happen, but so far so good! Overall, I'm really happy with this set of cookware. I included some photos of the ones I use on a daily basis. So, I don't know.... I don't want to say that others didn't use or care for theirs properly; maybe they did get a "lemon" set or something, but mine look and work great after a year and a half! I highly recommend.
