Received an email about tomorrow's TSV, 18 piece porcelain enameled cookware set. Any experience with porcelain enamel? K41304. Thanks.

Porcelain enamel on what? Oops, didn't notice item number. This is on plain old aluminum, not hard anodized aluminum. They also are counting utensils as pieces, something the competition used to do. I always respected QVC because they didn't do this. Personally I won't buy plain aluminum, its the same stuff at the mart stores at a higher price. Please bring us hard anodized or stainless. But if you are really into color, they do have some fabulous choices.

I ordered the Emeril All Clad Hard Anodized set when on clearance! these are the best I've ever had too bad they r sold out or I would have ordered another set for gift for bridal shower. not happy with CE since they changed over to these colored interiors scratch easily and thin exterior.

Usually what they now call 'porcelain enamel' cookware is what they used to call 'hardcoat enamel' cookware.

This is the cheapest (read-less durable and s/b pretty cheap but probably isn't) cookware you can purchase and I wouldn't touch it, personally. It is just aluminum cookware that is coated in porcelain enamel.

The only way to go with aluminum is Hard Anodized. THAT would be a much better combination of even heat conduction and durability.

I don't do much cooking these days but do enjoy using my induction burner when I do. A couple nights ago they had a cheap Mark Charles Misilli set that had the induction bottom, on clearance for $59., perfect for my purpose. It was good looking too in copper.

I call this disposable cookware.

Kachina, what was the item number of this MCM set? Thanks!

Very nice colors, but I have a new set from HSN that I like. I wouldn't need those utensils. Wonder why Bob Warden hasn't been presenting much CE recently. I do like Meredith, but he seemed to have been the CE guy.

If it is like the usual stuff, it will burn food on the bottom quickly. I would stay away from this. I think you can do better.
