My soup pot damaged after first use

Tweet

My mom gifted me a large white soup pot for the holidays. I decided to make soup today and finally used the pot. Everything was fine when I washed the pot before use and when I was cooking the soup. But when I opened the lid just now to taste the soup I noticed some little white stuff inside the soup. I scooped that stuff out and hope that the soup is okay to eat. I had no idea what it was or where it came from though. I looked at the inside of the pot and noticed a spot inside where the white coating chipped off a little. That means that's what the white stuff inside the soup was. After I touched that spot a little more of the white coating came off and now there is a big dent inside the pot and it's black, which I guess is the color of material the pot is made from. Wonder how this could've happened. I only used a wooden spoon in there. And I did not bang anything against the inside of the pot. I am upset that this happened and especially after only the first use. I'd think that a product that's made in Germany would not get damaged right away. Guess I was wrong. Maybe the pot was already damaged but there is no way I could've missed it... I'd try and return the pot, except I already removed the price tag.
