Today's Special Value

[Othereeeen]

After my disappointment with the "pressure cooker XL" (Also pushed by Eric Thiess) I only cringe when I think 90,000 people bought this pan....the reviews for that item are TERRIBLE.

Every time I see Eric Thiess I cringe. I know he is just a salesman...he sure didn't invent these things in his garage....so I'm glad he's making money, but not off me.

I ALWAYS check Amazon before I buy...ESPECIALLY if QVC is selling items available on Infomercials as well as QVC.

I hope it works out for the people who bought today....did you notice they NEVER showed the bottom of the pans in the demos?

YMMV.

PS..It's NOT copper. Just copper colored.

I just don't get it...It's a ceramic pot with sprayed on copper color!  Horrible reviews everywhere you read.  Anyone can bake a cake, brownie or smores pie in an ordinary ceramic pan.  They all go in the oven!  Shocked that QVC would have this as a TSV.

After the demos I've seen I'm more shocked that people continue to buy it!

Seriously!  It seems like a lot of people are missing that point.

I just saw a bit of a presentation this morning, on David's show, and it just looked like a very thin, copper-COLORED, aluminum.  That's not going to be a proper conductor of heat, IMO.   Looked super cheap.

Aluminum conducts heat well. That's why stainless steel pans have a core of aluminum.

If it's like that, as a tri-ply type of application, or hard anodized, aluminum does perform well.  

But a pan (and I could be wrong about this one, though) that is just thin aluminum will over-conduct to the extent that it will perform very badly.

Thanks to all of you for your input and advice.  I appreciate it and think I'll pass on this one

Just curious why QVC sells the stuff on TV infomericals?

It should be obvious...because they can sell 90,000 in a morning.

My thoughts exactly, although I haven't read any reviews.  When I saw this demonstrated on the Q, I thought "I must be missing something...where's the beef?"  There's nothing with this pot that I can't do already with my cookware. 

Oh yes, I bet some people actually think these are made of copper!  No way.  True copper cookware is a small fortune!!  And a pain to maintain...
