My Technique Pressue cooker is still working like a champ...

I'm also very disappointed with my set.  It started to feather (the red interior paint) around the top of the smallest pot that I use everyday.  Now, less than a year later, every one of the pieces in my TSV have done the same thing.  My question now is are they still safe to use???  I think QVC stopped selling them when they realized there was a problem.  I have always hand washed them and I loved them at first.  They are still non stick but are these little flakes of paint going into my food???  I decided to treat myself and replace the 30 yr old Farberware set I got as a wedding gift.  Now I wish I had them back.  I just think QVC should have stepped up and at least sent out letters to the thousands of people that bought the TSV on that day alone and told us about the safety aspect of this product.  I've learned my lesson and won't be buying anything like this again from them. I guess I'll just stick to jewelry....

I have a set of their hard anodized from a few years back. It has held up pretty well I would say.. The finish is still pretty much perfect. But, gotta tell you - for myself I really prefer pots and pans without any kind of non stick finish in them - you have to baby them too much, using wood or plastic spoons,etc. I will stick with a good non stick for skillets say for eggs and bacon - but, I think I will go back to good quality heavy pots without any kind of finish in them at all. I have been looking online - but, have not decided exactly what brand I am going with yet. I think too - I am just buying whatever pots I actually need and not a complete set with ones in them I hardly ever use. I am sure I will end up with less pots for the money, but at least I will have just the types or sizes I want and nothing more.
