Nonstick coating wearing/scratching after 2 months
This is a $200 set I had to get a replacement for the first set that was sent for defects in the pans/coating. Should have known and just got a different set all together. I don't even own a metal utensil and have never used a fork or spoon on my pans. Here are pics of 2 pans I haven't used and a pan I use 3 days per week since owning it for 2 months. Cuisinart claims it has quantanium coating which is resistant to metal utensils. Well it scratches using plastic utensils. Also the coating is already discolored and scratched after 2 months, and looks pretty awful next to a pan I haven't used (maybe 2-3uses). I have only washed with a soft sponge. I wipe the most used pans with a thin layer of oil (seasoning) once a week. I read the instructions and have done nothing out of the ordinary. I should add another pic with closeups of the scratches.. grr.. Would never buy this set again. Lowest rating I've ever put on Amazon since I've been shopping here (years). I love the amount of pieces and what pieces the set offers which is why I went with it. Should have went with Calphalon and less pieces or tfal maybe. Disappointed
Update: Its now been 3 months, I've added additional photos. The last one is the cuisinart pan next to a wearever pan I got at Walmart 3 years ago. The nonstick coating on my pan looks rusted. Do not buy this product. I use an electric stove and have never used heat over 6 out of 10 (medium heat) as instructed by cuisinart. I've never used metal utensils or cleaned the pan with a "scratchy" brush. I'm amazed how poor this non stick coating is. Purchased Dec 1st 2017 its March 28th 2018.. The last 2 pictures show my most used pants condition (3-4 times/week). Time to buy new pans and give these to a friend in need of donate to charity. Angry
PS: I do want to note that Amazon's customer service is top notch. They have always taken care of issues I've had. Unfortunately this set is poor quality and now I have to invest in another set. My most used pan looks rusted and i don't feel safe using it.
