My aunt wants my opinion on buying Copper Chef cookware. In looking at the
CopperChef website, I cannot help but notice this product has no copper in
any later at all! The only thing that is copper is the ceramic non stick
layer, and they put some copper coloring into that. The only real features
I can find on this product are its ability to work on any type of stove
including induction, as well as the ability to use in oven. Are there other
key advantages?

Are there better quality products in the same price range that have similar
features?

If you can wait a few weeks this cookware will be in stores
such a Walgreen and Wal Mart and Target in their "as seen
on tv" sections.

The concept is good, it's jes that in yer case, the product in
question looks bogus. Much like Revereware.

I have French made stainless steel cookware, but it has a full 1/8th
inch thick pure copper slug on the bottom of every pan. You can tell
if it is good cookware by the price. My cookware all cost over $100
ea, but I caught them during a close-out and only paid about 40% of
orig price at W-S. I think I once saw my cookware used on that CIA
cooking show, but cannot prove it. Besides, anything with real copper
in it is gonna cost some serious $$$$.

It's mostly just the latest marketing gimmick. Instead of green, it's copper. The unique feature is the stainless steel disk is stuck on the surface somehow. That's unusual. My guess is that the disk is just going to fall off after a while - fearless prediction.

My main fry pan is a stainless steel pan of heavy construction, with an encapsulated aluminum bottom, non-stick coating, and an all metal handle. The all metal handle is what allows the pan to be used in the oven. I made pizza in the pan last night. I lay the pan directly on the floor of my hot oven.. It works great.

I got this pan at Safeway. It was going for $36.

Yeah, the dump cake lady. Wasn't there also the the Green Pan (with a
green nonstick interior) in the last year or so? I think that was
promoted by the dump cake (dump cooking) lady.

I figure if W's aunt wants to buy it, let her. Obviously *someone* buys
this stuff.

I can't think of her name but yes, the dump cake lady is now on
tv with another 'as seen on tv' cooking gadget.

She also promoted the Redi-Set-Go Xpress cooker. I did buy
one at Target and took it to work. It was great for grilled
cheese sandwiches or grilled cheese and pepperoni sandwiches.
Co-worker used it to fry eggs as well and it was used several
times to make garlic bread.

Other co-workers used it as well and after about a year the
non-stick coating was well worn. I suspect most didn't use
a nylon spatula for their cooking. Anyway ANOTHER Xpress
Cooker has shown up to be used for cooking.

Can you post a link to your product on Amazon?
