*Based on Independent Laboratory Tests simulating rigorous cooking conditions instead of typical cookware use. The test mimics extreme torture by scraping pans with a weighted 2.5kg/5.5 lbs metal spatula, 8x heavier than the Japanese Industry Standard test. ScratchDefense withstood 350,000 scrapes, equivalent to 5 scrapes per day for 200 years. Results may vary depending on usage.
