Approximately 15% of reviewers believe these to be junk. That is a high number in my opinion. Is this a reflection of poor quality control?

I've had my set for several years and it is now just showing wear. I use mine everyday but am careful when cleaning and using metal utensils.

The Emeril set which Amazon promotes every so often is excellent. At a lower price point you might look at the Rachel Ray Porcelain Enamel. Her new Oval pans are wonderful on crowded stove tops.

I think it is poorly designed, very small cooking space at bottom of pan. The teflon flaked off very quickly. My Quisinart one has lasted twice as long, and no signs of wear, and the bottom of the pan measures 10 inches as stated on the wrapper.

Maybe so since it seems these items were not tested properly or the fact that the copper looking knobs on the lids get hot and you must use a pot holder to pick them up. If you want to keep the heat turned up under the pan, but let off steam the lids will not allow you to move them to one side. They keep sliding back in place, and the black handles start peeling over time. I am not thrilled with these pans, but they will do in a pinch.

I do not believe they are, but I could not get a straight answer from the company. There is a thread of emails posted on the review pages. Read it and make up your own mind.

Too be up front, I wouldn't buy these. I've had mine for less than a year & I've already had issues. I contacted them because there's a 2 year warranty & that told me I had to now by a relay for them even thought they work fine the first 6 months. I would spend you money on a set from a different company. I wish someone would have told me that because I wouldn't have wasted the money.

They are decidedly meh. As part of a decent system, their flaws will probably not be noticed. But don't kid yourself, these things are priced how they are for a reason.

I've had no problems with mine. I would suggest to send them back for a replacement; I am extremely pleased with the quality.

They are not all good, the last one I got is excellent, the previous one was very weak, faded looking print and was really not good, I do believe they will give you a refund, for the most part I've had a lot more that were good than bad, I've really only had one that I considered truly bad.

Mine were very poor quality and thin. When I wrote 975 about it, they were very rude. Looking for a different supplier.

There's nothing defective about your unit check the second comment for contacts. I own several of these and the internal component isnt lined up correctly. Best of Luck. Stick with it. The reward is worth the trouble.

I got 15's too. They r pretty good. They r still solid, but I have only got it since 2 months ago. I still gotta wait to see they can pass the test of time or not.

Yes. They are also pieces of crap. Don't buy them. If you want, I'll sell you mine for 50% off.

Honestly I wouldn't buy these only 4 of the 8 worked. It might be cheaper but you get what you pay for. If they are failing I would have them tested n see which one is bad n replace those until you save some money n buy the factory issued ones. Hope this helps

Hi Debra, We have tried several different aftermarket brands and none of meet the quality standards like these do. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately it would appear that quality control for everything these days is less than desirable. Would read reviews on both products before making up your mind. Especially the 1 star reviews:

Yes. they are the best I have found. Hardly ever had a bad one out of a few hundred used so far. Plan to only use these from now on.

We are returning a pair today for the same reason. It seems that at least half of those sold by this seller have he same issue. It's either VERY poor quality control, or they are recycling the returned items that don't work and reselling them. Completely disappointed, we'll be looking for another brand.

Mine NEVER worked anywhere. They went in the trash. I might have just gotten a defective batch, but I would not buy again
