After a bunch of failures, I bought a Blue Diamond skillet at Whatamart in January. We're moderately careful, but not a single mark on it so far. Bought a second, covered one off Amazon. Want a saucepan, but those seem only to be sold in sets. I clean them with a blue Scotchbrite sponge.
The BD pans have metal handles, so can go into the oven to finish off steaks (don't forget the potholder!). Supposedly, they also are free of harmful chemicals.
This is my experience as well.
