I'm so happy with these Paula Deen Cookware Set . One, they're gorgeous and look fantastic in my kitchen and two; they're the very best cookware I've ever used. My own are aqua with speckles and get a wonderful retro appear. The size on the big pot is the exact dimension needed for long pastas with no leaning on the edge. Cooking food is even with no sticking. The top edges of the pans are slightly turned in so spill over when stirring does not happen.The handles are soft grip and easy to carry and handle the pan. They do will need to be cleaned by hand and not in the dishwasher but I've cooked lots of stuff in them by now and cleaning is a breeze. The pieces I received in this set are all ones I use regularly and were what I consider a wonderful bargain.
Most pots and pans advertisements don't demonstrate the bottom surface of the pans and fry pans so you could see if they are protected for glass top stoves so it's truly difficult to purchase any cookware set online. All these are SAFE! Their smooth bottoms are made of the very same coloured spotted enamel as the rest of the pot making them attractive for hanging on a pot rack! I have never seen this kind of bottom design before....and I enjoy it. I picked out the aqua collection but I wouldn't mind having another set in a different color as well. The copper tops and copper hanging rings are a nice touch. Shipping was quickly and boxing was secure. What more could you ask for?
I just wish to let anyone learn I have tested out the pots and pans for quite a few months now. They heating equally and rapid with NO warping, clean up are a breeze and handles stay cool to touch. I totally love Paula Deen Set and they look to be holding up very well so far. I realize these pots/pans are not pretty heavy but it makes handling them easier. Considering the amount of the set, you have a great cost. Some very well known brands can cost over $200-$400, and for $115 and free super-saver delivery, you will not be disappointed.
