Welcome to IWETHEY!

New We went for these:
My parents bought us a set for our birthdays (which are conveniently within 2 days of each other).

As a start, at least. We'll also be getting the Calphalon wok.

So far I really like the pans, although there are already some faint scratches on the bottom after one use: I made scrambled eggs with a plastic spatula and cleaned the pan with a nylon scraper.
Regards,

New Those are good ones.
I have several pieces from that line and am entirely satisfied with them. Those faint "scratches" have no depth and do no harm, they're really just faint marks on the surface and there will eventually be plenty of them.

I do most of my work with wooden utensils but use a stainless turner and a stainless serving spoon often enough to confirm there will be no damage. My heavily used 3qt sauté has hundreds, maybe thousands of those marks and they have degraded neither performance nor cleanability.

New That's good to know.
My wife was a bit irritated. :-)
