Would love to know if this customer has an update on this product. In particular, have the plates scratched from knife use?

I've been using them for a month and I don't see a single scratch mark from silverware. I use 18/10 flatware though. Perhaps the softer flatware would make marks.

Despite the description, the plates and knife are not stainless. Mine immediately began rusting after I washed them and didn't hand dry them. Bizarre because on LEM's website, they only sell stainless steel plates and knifes replacements.

Hi, I haven't had that problem with mine, fortunately, and I've had them in the dishwasher 5-10 times (depending upon the size, I use some more than others). I wonder if the other reviewer had a scratched or knicked spot that caused that problem? Mine have been great, though.

Paula, I have never before heard this issue raised, but I appreciate the information. If that spot is scratch-prone, we can let future customers know to be mindful of this and take extra precaution. Thanks so much. Sincerely, JR Hill Goedekers.com

NO, they leave marks on them. We thought we were getting new plates and received used and had to use them. They had chocolate all over them. Won't be purchasing again

Thanks for the update. But I decided to wash the original plates in a dishwasher almost daily a year ago, and had no problems.

Did you use metal utensils ? Or put them in the dishwasher ? If you saved your paperwork, you can ask for a new set from Rachel Ray, maybe you'll get lucky. I've had my set for a while, no problems yet. I'll cross my fingers. Hope you can get this fixed soon, good luck.

Mine don't scratch easily. However I've purchased used pieces that that were covered with knife/silverware marks. They come off surprisingly well by scrubbing with Barkeeper's Friend or Bon Ami (I prefer Barkeeper's Friend). Both of these products are sold by Amazon.

Sorry, it is bare metal - I haven't noticed any scratching but my plates are far from new.

I have had one for over 6 months and use it daily. I haven't seen any scratch marks on my knives and I use it for all my really good ones. The one thing that I did find is that you need to make sure that anything that you put in is really dry otherwise you get rust spots on the knives from the magnets. I love it!

I think you got a bad one....mine were beautiful and I have been complimented on them. Only complaint is it takes a while to figure out how to set the knife on he plate without it sliding out. Best

I use sharp knives on them all of the time. It scratches them, but they (I have four) have held up for at least four years.

The only issue I have had with the coating is when I was running late from work and asked my 14 year old to shred the meat. I should have been more specific because she used 2 metal forks and did it in the pan. Filled with scratches during it's second use. However I have had no further issues with those scratches getting worse. Have seared meat in it a couple times without any issues.

I chop and slice every day on one or more of them, using quality steel honed cutlery. I occasionally see small traces of knife edges, but nothing as you describe. I also put them in the bottom of my dishwasher on normal cycle and they have held up well.

The machine is made for Wusthof products; I've used it on other German made steel from the 60's with no problems. I have used on current knives,Chicago Steel, etc. and it does an OK job. As for scratching never noticed any, it really works great with their products, and ok with others,It's the Wusthof edge, it sharpens to. But never observed scratch on any cutlery

sorry I didn't receive the slicing board when I purchased my peeler several years ago. I will ask the person I recently purchased one for and ask her how she is doing with hers.

I have only used them a few times, but so far no scratches. I have not really made anything that would warrant using a knife in them though. Things slide out fairly easily if you butter them before using them and eating something (Mini chicken pot pies) directly out of them with forks did not scratch them.
