Copper Chef Cookware Reviews

I was so impressed with the TV advertisement about the Copper Chef Pans that in May of this year I decided to part with my hard-earned money to purchase them. As a single Dad with children at home, money is tight, but because I had the option of paying by installments, I decided to go ahead.

I was so looking forward to them arriving, and they arrived a few days later as expected. On opening them, they looked great. But then as I opened the extra utensils, spatula, drainer spoon, etc., I felt very disappointed in the cheapness and flimsy quality of it all. The chip pan drainer is ridiculously flimsy, and the handle comes off very easily as you lift out of the hot fat, which is very dangerous and I have never used that since my first experience with it.

I followed all the instructions totally, from the temperature of the heat on the pans to the cleaning, even to the type of cooking oils to use. The pans are totally useless now. Within a matter of months, they have become discolored and scratched from the internal parts for the pans. Oh, they were non-stick though for the first few uses.

These have to be one of the worst purchases I have ever made in my life. I wish I had never seen the advertisement and will never buy anything from this seller again. This was my first ever purchase from this place and will be my very last. Buyers beware! I wish I had read all the reviews first.

When I saw the pan, I thought it would be light weight and that I would be able to cook some main dishes all in it. It's pretty marvelous. My previous pans wouldn't fit all the food so I would need to use two. I love the easy gliding in this pan. The clean up was just as easy as they stated. I so love this pan!

I am 71 and have used a lot of different pans. The Copper 360 Square Pan is the best I have EVER USED! I bought two for myself and three more for my daughter and granddaughters. They love theirs too. Nothing sticks, they cook evenly and go from stove top to oven for casseroles and more. No matter what I cook in it from cheese to scrambled eggs, it wipes clean with a paper towel. The sides are high enough so things don't spill over when they are stirred. I can't say enough about how much I love this pan. I wish they made cookware sets.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I had no problem ordering or receiving it. I use it at least 5 times a week and I love the way everything just glides off. I have tried some of the recipes and love it. Easy to clean, I will be ordering more. Wish they made a sauce pan and more options on size.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

I bought a 9.5" square pan and an 11" round pan sold by Sam's Club over Christmas.

I like the way the pans cook but I've used the square pan twice, and the bottom copper is full of scratches from my electric stove burner. I called Copper Chef, and they said I could return the pan to Sam's Club to get a refund and then buy a new one at their price of $75 to replace my bad one. I wanted them to send me a new pan to honor their guarantee.

To me, they do not stand behind their product. To me, a guarantee is to either fix or replace the product with a like one, not to give your money back. I think their copper coated bottoms are only painted, which will scratch, and I don't think these pans are as good as advertised on TV.

So let the buyer beware. The company is in it only for the money. I've also read that they these ceramic coated pans do not like oil in it to cook with. It will deteriorate the nonstick bottom. So they recommend not using oil to cook with and if you do, wash it off right away.

I purchased these pans in July. I used them and eggs stuck to the pans. I sprayed the pans with Pam, but the eggs still stuck. Nothing slid on its surface and when I tried to lift the eggs up, the pan scratched. I called to return the pans in September, and the rep convinced me to try the new pan.

So I waited for the return label because I had to return the pan before they would send the new pan. I called them back and they said they sent the label in an e-mail, which I never got. So in November, I returned the pans at MY COST. Then I get a bill saying that I owe my last payment. I called Copper Chef again and they gave me the number for COLLECTIONS. Collections? And I was just notified?

Anyway, collections said I needed to send them a copy of the tracking number, and I did so on the 12th of December. So I called Copper Chef back and told them the case with collections has been closed, but they have no proof of it being closed and they can't call them. And that since it had been longer than 60 days, and even though they have recieved the pans, I am not eligible for any refund!

What a rip off. How dare them. I have tried to get the e-mail address for any of the executives with no luck. BEWARE, do not purchase from these clowns!

I ordered the Copper Chef round two-pan set from Amazon. Both pans have a slightly raised surface in the middle of the pan like a dome. The surface should be flat. If you crack an egg, it will slide from the middle to the sides.

The non-stick surface works, for the most part, unless you are trying to saute something and get a nice golden crust. The pan will retain part of the product you are frying and will need to be soaked. The longer the pan is used, the worse the non-stick surface works.

I went on the manufacturer's website and clicked to chat and explained my concerns, but the manufacturer just thanked me for contacting them. I was so excited with the prospect of a break-thru pan, but this is just another ceramic pan with a copper color.

I bought the Copper Chef Pan from Bed Bath & Beyond a couple of weeks ago. At first it was great, but after a few uses, the surface changed color and food start sticking to it. Mind you, I never put it in the dishwasher and never put it in the sink while hot, and I use a soft sponge and soft detergent to wash it. The reason I treated it so well is that I had a ceramic pan that I had to throw in the garbage after a month, so I thought maybe how I washed it was causing the trouble, but it turns out that it's BS.

I then bought a stainless steel Cuisinart set of 16 pieces for a hearty price, but it's FANTASTIC even if it's not nonstick, nothing really sticks and it is easy to clean, and it's shiny.

Don't waste money on any of the BS they sell on TV. Instead, give the money to a charity like St Jude, and God will bless you forever.

I have been using non stick cookware for over 40 years, used them all. I just received my Copper Chef 2 weeks ago and it is my go to pan. I made chicken and dumplings, simmered beans for over four hours, and many other things and nothing stuck to the bottom of the pan even after simmering, nothing burned. I love this pan and highly recommend it.

Believe me when I say I am a skeptic of about everything offered on TV, but while saying that I always feel compelled to try some things that I really would like to be true. I have found a few things that live up to what they have promised, and this Copper Chef pan is one of them. I really hesitated at the price, and a wavered back and forth for a month whether to purchase or not, but then I just decided to dive in because I was so frustrated with the pans I was using at home.

When I got this I was a little disappointed with the size (I got the deep square one), I am terrible with gauging sizes. I tried it out the next morning with eggs without any oil, and they slid right out. Then I tried it with a number of other foods that would normally stick and NOTHING did! This pan was well worth the price I paid.

I saw an add for a Gotham Steel pan, buy on get one free, I figured they were the same thing, just under different name, NOT. I am returning those pans, and paying the little bit extra and purchasing more Copper Chef pans. I have to say I am very surprised from how many negative reviews I read here.Mmy experience was great, I am sorry theirs was not.
