I do like this set but the size and weight are very awkward for me...
It is the shape of a wok which may come in handy one day but I had hoped to have a better - flatter surface area...
I have not had any problems with the surface as I have seen others state that theirs scratched...
I do wish that HSN would have stated the issues with the care of the pan when they were demonstrating it though... I felt misled when I received it and read that you need to use special utensils and special care as the surface IS ceramic and can scratch...
I am not sure that I would have purchased this pan had I known that I would have to use special care not only in the utensils, but in washing and storing it...
As I said - the size is awkward and that also makes an extra challenge in storing it in a small kitchen - especially since I don't dare nest other pans inside of it in fear that they will scratch the surface...
