I own the Copper Chef and use it daily!

After reading the reviews I can tell there's some confusion. Others wrote about seasoning the pan, and that's NOT true, that's the Red Copper Pan. Or that the commercial shows them using metal utensils, again, that's Red Copper. Someone wrote that you can't use olive oil, which is not true, it just says extra virgin olive oil shouldn't be used because a film will build up, but it says to boil water with a little bit of dish soap to remove the film. I could go on and on!

I purchased Red Copper first because the advertisement said that metal won't scratch, but the first thing I read in the paperwork was "Don't Use Metal Utensils." Really? So this bold lie made me return it.

Then I called Copper Chef and asked if metal will scratch it, and she said that of course it can, and she would have warned me about this whether I had asked about it or not. That honesty sold me, so I placed my order, and I don't regret it one bit.

I upgraded to the 11" square pan (didn't know that was an option before the call), which added $9.99 to each payment, so I happily proceeded. I can lay out bacon completely flat, and it'll all cook evenly. A warning, though, the 11" just barely makes it in my oven with the long handle. I have to turn it at an angle, and thankfully can close the oven door. So those with smaller ovens, beware.

I'm a frugal mom, and this was worth every penny. No complaints yet, and I really think I will never have one!

P.S. I hide mine, and will never allow my husband or kids to use it. It's my toy, and risking sounding corny, it really makes cooking fun, and I'm amazed by it every time I use it.

P.S.S. I also recommend serving out of it yourself with kids, or transfer meal to another dish, because they will go digging in with a metal utensil! No scratches on mine, but I don't risk it anymore.

I have received nothing for this review, and it's the first I've ever done for anything, but, if you haven't noticed, I really love this pan!
