I bought 3 sets at the Blue Diamond complete cookware set. They are not dishwasher safe. They are chipping and I've never used metal utensils in them. Even if you use oil, they stick. I've only used 2 sets, the third set I haven't used yet. Totally, totally dissatisfied, I called customer service, they give me another number to call and all I got was I'll leave a message and no one is gone back with me. I can say is wow. Not worth the money, my Paula Deen set holds up better than these half.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
