i received this set from my husband for Christmas. I immediately loved the look and feel. i also went to the comments to see what others had to say about them. i noticed complaints about chipping, so i have been extremely careful and so far i have not noticed any chips. my set came via mail so i inspected them to make sure. like anything else. if they're not handled properly, they could chip. Any ceramic coated pot could chip, so this didn't bother me. I live they way they look! i received the cream/white and they are so n pretty! I've used them several times now and thry clean up so well!! One thing to know is not to cook in ceramic on super high heat. It will burn them. Because they heat well, you never need to use the highest heat anyway. The handles do get warmer than i would like, but not so hot you can't touch them. I have had other Gotham steel pots and pans (copper) and have always loved them! These are beautiful, hefty and perfect. The bake ware that came with this set is also amazing! very heavy duty! i was surprised at how thick they were. I made cookies last night and thry just slid off the cookie sheet! Don't be afraid to order these!
