Eric Theiss's copper pan (chef, stove, gourmet, expensive)

This thing:


Copper Chef XL Family Size Nonstick Pan: Cook 60% More Without Added Oil | Copper Chef XL™


I never, ever fall for infomercials. Until today, lol.


I ordered this thing. I think it was the "free" induction cooktop that reeled me in.


Then during my order, I was told I will get a $100 debit card. No charge.


We'll see. I watch my money like a hawk. No shipping, no handling, no extra charges. Just a single charge for $99.99. If it goes one penny over, I'll raise the roof.


Does anybody here cook with this thing?

Umm, call your insurance company to inquire about roof damage. according to the website, you also are going to be charged $19.99 for shipping and handling.

Scroll down to read the reviews. It's not pretty.

Another way to look at it --- $99.99 + $19.99 = $119.98 - $100 DC = $19.98 = Brand new induction hot plate.


Induction appliances seem to be anywhere from 70 to 200 dollars. If you really wanted the cooktop I think you got a very good deal!

Copper Chef Pan Reviews - Is it a Scam or Legit?

Thanks for the link to reviews. There is no charge for S&H. I think S&H is when you order online. I ordered via phone and S&H is free. Believe me, I asked. More than once.


There are some negative reviews, but that seems kinda typical. People don't generally write good reviews for products like this. I was curious about not being able to use EVOO or spray oils, as per the video on your review site. I don't use those, anyway, but I wonder why you can't.


As for roof damage, oh, well, lolol.


Edit: I've received my email confirmation. No extra charges:

My experience with reviews is exactly the opposite of ypurs. Good luck with the pan.

I fell for those green frying pans...boy, can you find a lot of them now in Thrift Stores...
mine are there now!
That cooper thing did look good, I must say...but I made a promise to myself,
no more TV buying...and look ...the minute I said, 'No more'...I found a brand new
'Brazilian Butt Lift' Dvd pack for $4...I love Thrift Stores.
(No, I have not opened the DVDs yet...but, they didn't cost me 3 easy payments
of $29.99 not to open them!)

I'll be tuning back in!

I have several copper pans that I've quit using TOTAL convert to cast iron.

[nmnita]

I have the less expensive ones: though they are not the end or the end or perfect but I use mine all the time: am not sorry I purchased them. The part I don't like, they really are not not "non stick" but I haven't found too many "now Stick" anythings that really are what they claim. At least not after awhile. Yes the best to use in the old cast iron, whether cheap or expensive ones.

[Nonchalance]

Friends bought this pan at a store for about $40, with various discounts, but lacking the induction cooktop. They are returning it this week.

[Zeppelin0129]

Just buy cast iron. They last forever, are inexpensive, not difficult to maintain, can be used on the stove and in the oven, and become virtually non-stick after they become seasoned.
