Copper colored pans (LOL)

SharkE — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 14:05:36 GMT

See we got a lot of copper colored pots and pans coming out on Sunday.

I got a copper colored skillet I bought at a kitchen store while on vacation. It's OK, cleans up well, etc. Think I would buy more of it.

I think it is more approprite to say that there will be copper-colored cookware on Sunday.

Copper Chef cookware is simply cheap aluminum cookware which is copper-colored. While there is a little bit of copper in the pan, it is not enough to enhance the performance. It is simply a way to convince people t buy this cookware because they confuse it with actual copper cookware which would cst hundreds of dollars for the same-size pan.

The pans may indeed work well for most people, but I think it is disengenuous for the manufacturer to call them copper.

Did you see my post on the Woot home special. They look a bit more resonably priced for copper color pans. I have a couple orgrenics that I only use for certain things (scrambled eggs and fried potatoes), otherwise I use stainless or cast iron.

I have awful luck with Stainless fry pans. I love the pots, but, how Wolfgang frys chicken in those sticky skillets I can't do it. You have to keep adding oil or lard that you don't want in first place, but, it still sticks and don't want to fry on low, low heat take forever. I just stick with stainless pots.

Do you know if there will be pots and pans other than the original seen on tv one? If so they aren't mentioned in the promo. Just curious. I have one copper skillet that I was given recently, but haven't used it yet. It's not a true copper piece - just like the ones on t.v. I would be interested if there were actually pots.

You need to preheat them correctly. Heat the pan dry, add a small amount of oil and let it get hot. Then add the food, preferably don't put cold food in a hot pan. Don't try and move the food around, when it's browned it will naturally release.

Think I"ll type in 'copper chef' and see what all is available. This pan would be good for quick batches of fish and frys and my husbands tater tots.

Chef Curtis Stone is on HSN right now he has some skillets that look good

Re: Copper

quick cooking mom — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 14:22:38 GMT

Yup. That's how I do it. Then a little water (if you just want to clean), or some wine or juice (if making sauce) to deglaze and voila, not much for clean up.

Thanks sharke for the info. The home woot deal has the similar pan plus extra pans for $84.99. I believe their shipping is $5.00 so not too bad. I really don't know the quality difference between the copper chef brand and gotham steel brand, but they appear very similar.

SharkE — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 14:31:32 GMT

All I see is copper skillet all in one pan I guess. They will probably come out with pots , though. I assumed they were already available. I'm ahead of my time. LOL

Warning! Gold Medal flour cnontains no gold!

Chicken of theSea contains no chicken!

Most "silverware" isnt

Red Star Yeast isn't red

Diamonique is not diamonds

and there is no Betty Crocker

thereis more copper in nickels than nickel.yet we still call them nickels.and almost no copper in pennies, yet people still say "copper pennies"

Copper is a color AND a mineral..No one is claiming it is made of copper ..Why is this so controversial?

Therre are 3 different copper pans out there, and they are all similar, in fact they are all most likely made in the same Chinese factory. Theres the Copper Chef line, Eric Theiss usually presents and promotes that. The Gotham Steel line of copper pans. Chef Daniel Green, formerly with Evine, does the commercial for Gotham. And the there Red Copper pans, Cathy Mitchell of "Dump Dinners, and Dump Derserts" cookbook fame does the commercial for Red Copper. I don't see any difference in either one of them,

I don't know about controversy but, as for me, the name implies that the pan is made of the mineral Copper. I Googled all three brands after seeing the infomercials and realized that none of them are Copper pans. I'm sure that calling them Copper pans and not Copper colored pans is a deliberate marketing ploy to mislead people. As for your reference regarding the other products I don't see it as the same thing. The only one that could possibly be misleading IMO is the silverware. However, most people know silverware, flatware, tableware and cutlery are acceptable interchangeable terms in the U.S. and that they are not always made of silver. As for the coins, pennies were at one time made of copper. The term “Nickel” refers to the main component of the alloy used to "strike the coin" and was meant to differentiate the coin from another of the same denomination that circulated at the same time -- the Half Dime, which was made of silver.

I agree.
