Where do I start?! I love this pots and pans! I've had them for 6 years and they look and perform like they are brand new. I have yet to have something stick to this pans and they wash so easily. I don't put them in the dishwasher and there is no need, hand washing is a breeze. Food cooks evenly and always comes out great. Doesn't Stick I do a lot of pan frying and am amazed at how easily my food flips and turns and doesn't stick. Pancakes, meats, stir-fry, whatever it is I'm cooking it does not stick. Heat Distribution Food cooks very evenly in this pans. I've never had issues with the heat not distributing. Ease of Handling They are very easy to handle, the handles do not get overly hot and can be moved around with no problems. Ease of Cleaning A little dish soap and a sponge and these pots and pans are clean in mintues. Design I love how these look, very nice design. They look nice sitting on my stove. Durability Extremely durable they have held up to daily cooking for years. I will buy no other brand now!

I have used many non-stick pans in my life, but these by Paula Deen truly are what they claim to be. I fry eggs with no oil, and they slide right out. Sometimes they need washing, but a lot of the time I can clean up with wiping out the pan with a paper towel. The only thing I don't like is after cooking a few times, the bottom becomes black. You have to scrub to get the black off, and keep them their speckled color. I have them in grey, so it is not so visible. The set comes with the perfect sizes for cooking. Doesn't Stick When you fry eggs, you don't need oil. With fried potatoes, I use very little and they come right out of the pan, with no sticking. Heat Distribution The middle is the hottest place, of course. However the edges also cook evenly. Ease of Cleaning Very minimal clean up required. I make sure to scrub the bottom though, because it tends to turn black with a layer of grime. Design The handles make it easy to hold the pots when full. Great design. The tops of the lids get hot though.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my Paula Deen non-stick cookware. I love being able to cook without having a mess and in my home the messiest pans always come from my 12 year old daughter cooking scrambled eggs. There is normally a huge mess with eggs being stuck all over. With the Paula Deen cookware the thickness is just right allowing for even cooking while not being overly heavy making them hard to use. The non-stick coating truly is non-stick. Even if cheese is thrown in while cooking Once done it just slides right on out. I have also really enjoyed using the dutch oven for making thick stews with potato chowder being my favorite. Again the perfect thickness comes into play by insuring no scorching or sticking even when cooking on a medium high heat. Clean up is a breeze too. I honestly could wipe them out but I do handwash them. My dishwasher is quite small therefore I prefer to handwash. I have been more than satisfied with the durability as I have been using my set for over a year and they still perform as well as they did brand new. In comparison to my last set of new cookware which wqs the t-fal brand I am much more satisfied with my Paula Deen set as they seem to be holding up performance wise better. The glass lids allow for keeping an eye on whats cooking without having to lift the lid allowing being able to keep the heat in. The decorative knobs on the lids are much more appealing to the eye than the basic plastic handles that seem to be on so many of todays cookware. The steam vent allows steam to escape without losing heat. I opted for the brighter red set which sets off a pop of color. Well functioning and stylist while being economical are qualities that push this set well past the average cookware. On a scale of 1-5 I would give this set a 4.5 and that is only because I think the box set could be improved by adding in a deep frying pan and lid that would be great for frying chicken. Design A bonus is having a choice of colors other than the basic black and navy.

I have the Paula Deen cookware set and I use it daily. None of the pots and pans ever stick even though my children forget and use regular silverware to stir whatever they might happen to be cooking. But they have never let me down as far as sticking to anything on their sides or bottom of hte pans. They clean up fast no matter what you have cooked in them for an example. Home made macaroni and cheese comes off with a simple wipe from a paper towel. Doesn't Stick Never sticks to the wall or on the bottom of the pan no matter what you cook in them. Everything comes off with a simple wipe and they also seem to keep their stick free coating without making a mess. Heat Distribution Everything you cook cooks evenly from all sides of the pan top to bottom Ease of Handling the pans have big handles for easy use without dropping them. They are also secured to the pans really well to keep the pan and handle in place. Ease of Cleaning One simple wipe and the pans comes clean. Nothing ever sticks to her pans. Design The design is very nice with different types of patterns or you can purchase the sets that are of one color. Their see through lids make it easy to see if the product in the pans needs to be stirred or not Durability They are like a Chevy truck of the kitchen they are built tough.

This is a good set for beginning cooks and comes in a basic black color. I chose this set to give a grandson who was moving to his "own" apartment. It is not overpriced and the weight of the pans indicate should not stick or warp from the heat. Doesn't Stick Doesn't seem to stick but the pans are medium weight so I doubt that the finish will hold if it left on high very often. Heat Distribution The saucepans are small and a med and work well for veggie and didn't stick. The heat seemed to be evenly distributed and I consider it a good starter set. Ten pieces makes it easier to store when storage is a issue and for a individual or small family should work well. Ease of Handling Great starter set Ease of Cleaning These clean up easily. I would not put them in the dishwasher as I have done so in the past and it seems to take the finish off and they become dull looking. Design Nothing to write home about but do what they were designed to do. Glass lids makes it a little easier to see how things are doing and they sealed well. The knobs are wooden and are a nice contract to the pans. They stayed cool even when the pan was hot. Ten piece set gives enough sizes to select from. Durability I question that these will last a lifetime but suspect they will last with normal usage.

I bought this cookware set about five months ago. We moved to a new house and I wanted nice pots and pans to go with my kitchen. I fell in love with the red set. I absolutely love them! They looks great, they are very sturdy--the handles are tightly secured, giving you a nice solid grip. The handles are coated with (silicone or rubber?) to guard against heat and give you a non-slip grip. They are so easy to clean! I sometimes leave the dishes in the sink at night to be washed in the morning if I am really tired. Even macaroni and cheese washes right off the next day! The only reason I gave them four stars instead of five is that I wish the skillets were bigger. The largest skillet just isn't large enough for cooking dinner for a family of four. The small skillet is great for making small batches of sauce or to cook and egg or two, but it isn't very big and we don't use it much. I would have gladly traded both of these skillets for the larger skillet that matches this set (but is sold separately). Overall, I am very satisfied with this set and plan to buy more Paula Deen products in the future.

I recieved this 10 piece set for Christmas, in the buttercream color. So far I am very impressed with the cookware. Everything cooks wonderfully and slides out of pan easily without sticking. They are well made and heavy pots that I am sure are going to last for years to come. I love the styling on the pots and pans, and the sturdy handles. The lids are beautiful as well with the copper handles and Paula Deen Logo on them. I have used every pot. My favorites are the large skillet and the large stock pot they seem to be my go to pots when I do cooking. They are really easy to clean also, I've never had a problem getting food to wipe off and Ive never had to scrub them. If I haven't used them for anything to messy I will usually just wipe them out with a wet paper towel, in order to save the non stick surface inside. I use all wood utensils to cook with also, in order to prevent scratching on the pans.  They are alittle expensive for myself so I'm going to take super good care of them just to make sure I get extended use with them.

I recieved this set as a christmas present, and this has definatly turned out to be one of the most prized possesions I recieved that day! I love cooking, and I have been using my mothers pots and pans that are older than me :) When I recieved these, I was overjoyed! I love the copper bottoms, and I have really notices that it aids in the conduciveness of the heat throughout the entire cooking time! Water boils faster, meat cooks jucier, and everything just tastes BETTER when you cook it in Paula Deen cookwear! The only thing I did not like about this set is that you had to soak all the bottoms (the copper parts) in a solution of hot water and baking soda in order for a "protective seal" not to burn the first time you cooked with them. I understand that you have to protect the items when shipping, but, I dont like the thought of something being in contact with the food I am making you know? Overall, a beautiful and great set.

The Paula Deen cookware set includes several different sized pots, skillets, and accompanying lids.  It has been wonderful to cook with.  The outside color (mine is red) and overall shape make these pots stylish, and yet they are also useful.  They are the perfect sizes to use for cooking a wide variety of dishes.  The inside no-stick coating works wonderful. Plus, they are easy to clean up after the cooking is done.  I have handwashed and used the dishwasher with these pots and pans.  Both methods work equally as well as the other, even when you run the dishwasher a couple of days later.  I also lucked out and got some Paula Deen cooking utensils with my set of cookware.  The spoonula has become new favorite kitchen utensil.  It removes batter from a bowl, mayo from the jar, any other mixture you can think of quickly and with ease.  That is definitely a must buy by itself (if it doesn't come with your set).  Happy Cooking!
