False represented !!! lodge says made in America but in the small print this product is made in china. Their enameled stuff is all china made trash. If I wanted china made trash I would not have paid more for what was represented as made in America .

Cuisinart 11-Piece Cookware Set, Chef’s Classic Stainless Steel Collection 77-11G

⭐⭐ (2/5) | ✅ Verified Purchase | 2065 found helpful | 2016-11-09

So, I’m a chef. I bought this product with high hopes. Cuisinart is a great brand, and has been for years. The pots and pans themselves are great. The stainless steel is of very decent quality. However… the rivets that they used to attach the handles onto the cookware are made of cheap crap.

This weekend, under normal use, while on a pan of simmering pasta, I went to pick up the lid and the handle came off in my hand and the glass lied exploded. I had shards of glass in my hand, all over my kitchen, and who know how long I’ll be finding them.

When I was looking for a Dutch Oven for my wife, I chose the one made by Lodge because I thought it was made in the USA. I was very disappointed, when I opened it up last night to see it was made in China.

I am so pissed! This set is an overpriced cheap piece of crap. The bottom of the pan completely melted through ruining not only the pan but my stove top as well!

This was advertised to sound like a natural stone product. But this is just the same a PTFE, aka Teflon. I am throwing these pans away and warning others. This is not what you think.

The reason this is so highly rated like lots of other Amazon listings, when you receive the product you get a note from the company offering you full credit back if you prove you’ve reviewed this with 5 stars. This is very deceiving as everyone wants something for free. I opted not to go this route and give you the real review. Absolute garbage.

I’m not a picky person and it’s very very rare for me to give a product 2 star!
I have to say I was very happy when I got this product. It looks just like my mom’s big old Le Creuset Dutch Oven and it’s much much cheaper.

Although I’ve had this product for over 6 months I have only I’d it a handful of times. I had it on medium heat for about 5 minutes on the stove top with gas and put in some sort ribs to brown before added liquid to braise in the oven and the enamel coating exploded off the side all over the meat.

If you like FLAMES with your chili - this is the pot for you. Seriously, the paint melted to my stovetop and caused a fire. My husband and I received this as a wedding gift and have used it around 5 times to make different things.

This product advertises that nothing will stick to the pan, they show on TV the cook just frying eggs without any oil or butter and the eggs just slide off the pan. Well its a LIE, the first thing I tried were eggs, guess what… they STUCK TO THE PAN, I even turn the pan upside down and the eggs did not fall off.

My husband was all excited to make "homemade" fried chicken just like on the front of the Copper Chef brochure! He followed the directions EXACTLY as they instructed and cooked the pieces over medium heat. All of a sudden, I heard a loud bang and went running in the kitchen.

My wife bought this thing at Sears for me as a present. She spent around $80 on it. For that amount of money I expected a great pan, but that is not what I got. For a while this pan did what it was supposed to and I was really impressed. After just weeks of heavy use the pan is worthless!
