Copper Chef Cookware Reviews

I bought the Copper Chef and the bonus from the TV ad. I can't even use them because they stick to everything I try to cook. I contacted Copper Chef to no avail. They always have some excuse to make it your fault. This company is the worst, and it does no good to call them.

My parents got me the set for my birthday in July. Now we are in October, and my round pan is losing the coating, and the set is no longer non-stick! I never used anything but plastic when cooking. And when cleaning, I noticed that each time I cooked with my pans, they changed!

The non-stick surface changed color and worded less and less. Right in the center of my round pan where the color changed, that is where the coating has begun to come off! Food sticks so bad now, that I use butter or EVOO, and it will still stick!

I replaced ALL my pans once I got this set! Now the one thing I love to do, cook for my family, is not as easy and will cost me money to replace. Money that I do not have!

I'm loving my Copper Chef Pans because I asked questions. My conclusion is: don't go by the claims (or the do's or don'ts) that are made about the pans. Use the pans as you would any other. You can use olive oil and butter (no oil or non-stick sprays) as you would ordinarily. Use your own recipes and you will find the pans are really awesome. As for scratches and nicks, well, take care of them as you would any other copper pan. And always use your non-metal utensils.

I have tried other copper pans, i.e. Red Copper, and Copper Chef is the best hands down. I read some of these reviews and they claim things sticks to it. I have made chocolate, cheese sauce, as well as many glazes and sauces and not once did anything stick. I am really enjoying being able to use this pan as a deep fryer. The only issue I am having is I have seen the flat square pan advertised but when I wrote Copper Chef to ask for some info on it they did not return my email.

So far I've had a pretty good experience, although the magical sliding off of the food is incorrect I have to use a spray oil or butter. But my question is can I use my lid in the oven? That was never addressed using in the commercial or instructions.

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 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.

During Christmas dinner, while frying chicken wings, it did not heat up enough to cook, and eight pieces of chicken wings took me 45 minutes to fry. The chicken wings were not done, so I gave up and used my old pan, which I had for 15 years.

It does NOT heat oil to the temperature of 350 degrees at all, and I tried for an hour. Don't buy the pan if you're going to fry. I had a fit about this pan during our Christmas meal, and I give it a big fat 0.

I received Copper Chef as a gift. I did fried chicken for the first time on a brand new smooth cooktop and the outside "copper" coating melted and scraped onto my cooktop. I was very surprised and disappointed. It cooked well, but I don't trust the product.

Hello, I am a father of two that enjoys cooking for my children. When I first saw the Copper Chef pan, I was very excited. It lived up to the bill for about three months, and now it is as bad as the other pans out there. Food sticks to the pan, there is smoke everywhere when you fry bacon, and it is a nightmare to clean. I was excited to see the expansion with the 12-inch pan and the deep frying pan. But now I am grateful that I did not make those purchases.

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

I have treated this pan on several instances. Never has it been an "eggs sliding" experience EVER. I even bought the lid to this square pan. I have read other reviews where people were extremely satisfied. Just wondering if a bad batch was made? I would never recommend this product to anyone. I had eggs tonight, and this pan is still soaking. Terribly sad product.
