These pans are a joy to use. I love the ceramic finish, they are so easy to cook on and clean. However, I have only had them a few weeks, and have only used silicone spatulas and spoons with them, have felt like I have been extremely careful with them, and yet-I have two small chips in two of the pans. I do nest them in the cabinet, which may have been when the chips happened, but is nesting pans in a cabinet unreasonable use? I am disappointed this has happened. if you get them, buy something to protect the pans while storing them.
