Copper Chef Cookware Reviews

I purchased the Copper Chef square fry pan and the accompanying round skillet. Have cooked many times in both pans and am very impressed with the ease of cleanup and the uniform cooking with the following exceptions: the bottom of the square pan is not flat - the center is high so all liquids and oils pool around the outer edge. Sauces and other dishes needing even mixing are difficult. The outside is not easy to clean, the fry pan's outside is easily stained and collects burn on food and when heated is impossible to remove. Still for flipping omelets, pancakes, etc. it is a dream come true. I have never had anything stick on the inside. Too bad the outside keeps the pans in the drawer and not on the pot rack.

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

The 1st time we used the pan it worked as seen on TV. The second time my wife used it she cooked back bacon. Well, the non-stick surface in no longer none stick.

My wife keeps the pan separate and does not allow it to hit the sink, even still the bottom has severe scratches on it. We have a glass top stove. The pan looks like a paper thin copper coating over aluminum. There are no scratches on the interior so far (4 uses).

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

We have had these pans roughly 3 months, but the frying pan has been used mostly cooking eggs, fish, grilled cheese, etc. At about 2 weeks, we noticed a chip had come out of the middle of the pan (the finish is now wearing off both pans). We complained to them & they said to send it back. So we now have to go thru the trouble of buying a box, packing it, then paying to ship it back, $15 or more. Was it really worth our time & money to send this crap back or grin & bare it like most people.

We didn't send it back, we got screwed.

I have found this pan to do exactly what is was to do. I will buy another pan soon.

I have just purchased this and have just had 2 chances to use it. I love it. I just read the reviews and I am so hoping that it will hold up. For right now you could not ask for a better pan. I really did not believe it would clean up as well as it was said, but, boy or boy, cleanup was wonderful. I am so hoping It will continue to hold up for a very long time.

My wife had to have this. They claimed 4 weeks delivery, it took 4 days.

Pan works as seen, very, very happy! All food is cooked to perfection and moist, not dried out.

Just a note on how to use these or any other pans. If the pan is on the stove on high heat (or any setting) with nothing in it (or very little), you will damage the pan: burn marks, etc. You must have a little something covering all of the bottom of the pan to dissipate the heat - teaspoon of butter or oil. The pan is non-stick but you still have to absorb the heat from the burner or the pan will suffer damage over time.

Meat with some fat does not require anything as the fat covers the bottom of the pan and dissipates the heat. All pots and pans are made to heat something not absorb heat and dissipate it into the air. These types of units are called "Heat Sinks", which pots and pans are not.

We wrap the pan in a soft cloth and place it in a cupboard by itself, better to be safe than sorry.

Clean up is good, but I just fried two eggs like they do on the commercial and they stuck like glue.

In the future they should offer to let you use it for a month or so and then, if you like it, you can send them the money to buy it! A money back guarantee in reverse.

This Copper Chef square skillet is supposed to work on induction cooktops. It doesn't. My USA Nuwave Induction does, however.

I can't even boil water in it because it errors out my Induction cook top. That is the main reason I bought it. It also showed dark spots on the bottom after using it on the Nuwave Precision Induction cook top. But I cannot cook with it on that cooktop at all. So I'm disappointed.

The company behind Copper Chefs says you can use metal utensils, but their instructions say not to use! They sent me plastic utensils! Their ad shows a mixer being used in pan! This is false advertising.

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

Everything sticks to the round fry pan.

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

Buying this product is a scam and a rip-off. They keep sending me products and taking money from my account without my permission. I am $7.95 and $29.95 in the whole. I have to make a trip to my bank and get my number changed.

Do not order from this company! It doesn't even deserve the one-star rating but that's the lowest it will go in order to post my Copper Chef review.
