Copper Chef Cookware Reviews

I loved this pan at first. I made popcorn and just by sliding the pan back and forth on the stove the copper coating scraped right off the bottom like nothing.

You can see the copper color scrapings on the burner. Also, the center of the pan " bowed" with the edges on the inside lower. Imagine what it would do in the oven? The silver edging on the lid you can pull it away from the lid, it's not tightly secure.

This is my second pan. As for the first pan, after using it with a non-stick utensil, it got a small chip in the far inside corner. I thought to myself, “Well it could be a manufactured defect. I'll try another pan”. Well, I did. and what a disappointment. I went through two pans in less than 2 months use.

They're not durable AT ALL.

BUYER BEWARE! I returned both. I'm getting Gotham Steel, they have everything plus durability.

I really love this pan. I use it for practically everything that I need a large pan for, such as stews, soups, roasts, etc.

I made a great pot roast in it, and a big batch of cabbage rolls. It cleans up with a swipe of a sponge or paper towel. And I can use it on my induction cooktop.

Was so excited I bought 2 square pans and couldn't wait to cook for a big party weekend. Everyone loved them. We used them to bake, fry and make eggs. They worked amazingly.

But after washing and really looking at them the bottoms were a mess. The finish was scraped off part of one. Then the edges of both have sharp scratches on one side. The fry basket scratched the finish right off. It was sharp and you could slice your finger on it if you slid it across the scratches.

And the one we baked in? Cutting the lemon bars the metal pie server scratched a tic-tac-toe into the finish. I thought you could even use a mixer in them (according to one infomercial).

We bought these at a local store and I am going to return them. Have thought about exchanging them and then not using the fry basket and being extra careful not to scratch them BUT that sort of defeats the purpose.

I'd recommend these with the warning of USER BE GENTLE. Sigh.

I ordered this pan in 9.5 inch with a lid for my mother. She received the pan, but the lid did not fit and it was warped. We are sending it back. We are very disappointed because she likes the size and the look of the pan.

I bought the set (lower and higher pans) at the end of July. I use wooden or silicone spatulas to avoid scratches and hand wash the pans. I noticed a deep large scratch in the higher pan after only 3 uses and I have a difficult time returning the pan because it has passed the 30 days, although they come with a 60 day warranty. I have also noticed that eggs stick regardless if you spray or coat the pan so it is not true that eggs slide off. So far, pancakes do not stick. With use, the clean-up is getting harder and if there are burn spots from the food, there is a need for lots of scrubbing. I am regretting buying this set and other products as seen and promoted on TV.

After using the pan according to directions for only a few weeks many scratches appeared in the cooking surface for no reason. The warranty is very expensive to use as you have to pay the return postage yourself and enclose an additional $14.99 to get a pan which may or may not scratch again even when using wood and plastic utensils.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Had it for about two months now, it does not do what they said it did. It sticks without some oil. You can not cook a lot in it. I would get my money back but I had it too long now.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Apparently there are two different facilities that produce this cookware, one that produces quality, and one that does not. It is hard for me to read the "good" reviews and believe it. I have never had a set of skillets that stick so bad, from the first use. The advertising that I watched before I bought them is very misleading as far as their value in the kitchen. I now see from the reviews that my money back guarantee is not going to happen, in the trash they go, live and learn.

A little cautious in the beginning however my lovely wife of 53 years has cooked: thick pork chops, a steak, fried chicken, and a few other items. I cooked blackened Tilapia twice and did not smoke up the kitchen or start and oil fire.

My first experience with these copper-type pans was when a couple came with my induction cooker. They were great for a while and then mostly lost their non-stick quality. That was several years ago. I bought this one hoping they had resolved the issue. So far, I'm not having the problem and I've had it for several months. I didn't see, however, that I wasn't supposed to use extra virgin olive oil, because the recipes call for it and I use it all the time. I haven't had any problems because of it so far. I saw not to use sprays, but that's something I find frequently, and I don't use them anyway. I got mine on Amazon and it came with a couple of scratches. Amazon exchanged it immediately. I use this pan a lot, it makes a killer roast chicken and does fried chicken really well. So far, so good for me. My food has come out juicy and flavorful. I've also used it for searing meat before it goes out to the grill and it does a great job. I don't put my pans in the dishwasher ever, so I can't report as to whether it holds up to that. I have forgotten it on the stove, so I can tell you that it takes high temperatures well. I'm not sorry I made this purchase. It won't replace my other cookware, but it does have its place and what I've used it for, it's performed great.

The first pan was defective as was their replacement even though they have continued to take my money. To date, I still have not received anything.

I have tried to use their chat to resolve this and they just say to have a good day.
