^^ buddy your non-stick pan has lost its coating and turned into a stainless steel pan. :)
save your money and keep using it.
They are not safe to use after they scratch , because the non stick quoting starts to get mixed in your food. They are made of aluminum not stainless steel.
So bad idea.
Which company did you guys buy them from?? I really don't understand how your non-stick cookware is scratched. I only use non-stick and use them every single day(been using for 2 years) and not a scratch. There are some very simple ways to care for them. If they're scratched then throw them away immediately, they're not safe to use anymore.
Yes they last you two to 4 years max , stainless steel kind will last forever.
