The lids are not a snug fit and the large it too large. I have used the small and med. a few times but the handle gets in the way of stacking. Space is limited in my fridge, not a product that works at all for me.

This review is from: Telebrands Orgreenic, 10-Piece Set (Kitchen)

I cancelled a previous Amazon Review of the OrGreenic pans so that I could write about an interesting discovery. THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF ORGREENIC PANS BEING SHIPPED OUT BY TELEBRANDS EVEN IN THE SAME SHIPMENT.

I AM NOT GOING TO RATE THE COOKING SURFACES BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT BE LOGICAL TO DO SO SINCE YOU MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME ORGREENIC PANS THAT I DO. I HEARTILY SUGGEST THAT PERSONS INTERESTED IN NEW, SAFER NON-STICK COOKWARE PURCHASE FROM NAME BRANDS THAT HAVE A TRACK RECORD IN THE COOKWARE INDUSTRY. Also, at the end of this review I am including excerpts of the OrGreenic warranty, which is NOT the same thing TeleBrands SAYS in their advertisements. On their website and in their commercials, they say, "If Orgreenic ever dulls or damages, even if it is your fault, we'll replace it" and "Your cookware will last a lifetime or we'll replace it". (I was totally unable to find a copy of the warranty online.)

_______________________________________________________________________________________

My first order for OrGreenic pans was via the internet in response to a television ad (not an infomercial I have never watched an infomercial on the OrGreenic pans). The special offer was 2-10" "frying" (saute) pans (with the usual single handle) and a larger 12" dual-handled saute pan. The $$$ deal ended up being good for 3 pans even if they had been Mirro (the brand I usually purchased and discarded when worn out).

When those 3 pans arrived, due to a very junky cardboard shipping carton and inadequate inner packing, all 3 were damaged. I reported the 2 worse damaged ones since they had gouges in the cooking surfaces made by the rivets on the backs of the pans that were stacked inside of them. I expected a hassle, but the person on the phone promised immediately to replace them and did not request that I return the damaged pans.

ALL THREE OF THOSE PANS WERE IDENTICAL. The inner surfaces were identical in shade of green. The rims were "naked" of coating, and the outsides of the pans all had a gray coating that proved to be extremely delicate and scratched the first time they were used on a gas range with metal grates over the burners. Personally, I did not care that the outsides had scratched because I was only concerned with the inner coating's performance.

The replacement pans took many weeks to arrive. I received 2 postcard notices in the mail that stated, "Due to the huge demand . . . ", etc., reassuring me that the pans would be shipped as soon as possible.

When the replacement pans finally arrived, the first thing I noticed was that the handles on the dual handled 12" saute pan were at a different angle. I immediately suspected that they had gotten bent in shipping that is, until I compared the new 12" dual handled pan to the previous one. That is when I realized that I had 2 completely DIFFERENT PANS. The handles appeared to be cast on the new pan and stamped on the original pan. The inner coating on the new pan was noticeably darker, the rim was coated unlike the previous pan's uncoated rim, and the coating on the back of the pan was also different. The external coating on the new pan was much harder, and there was a pattern in it that looked much like the concentric line on an old phonograph record, rather than the plain, soft grey coating on the outside of the original 12" dual handled saute pan. The stamped in logo indicia on the bottom of the pan was also different on the new 12" dual handled saute pan from the one in the previous pan. Also, the new dual-handled 12" saute pan is slightly larger and weighs more on the scale, and noticeably so when picked up with one hand.

The new 10" saute pan was different from the previous ones, and DEFINITELY ALSO DIFFERENT FROM THE NEW 12" dual handled saute pan. It appears to be an absolutely different 3rd version of the OrGreenic pans. It has a bare rim like the original 2-10" saute pans and the original 12" dual-handled saute pan had. Its cooking surface looks similar to the original 10" pan, but the outside has yet a third version of coating and again another, slightly different logo/indicia stamped into its bottom. Its handle is different yet from any of the other pans.

When you first get this cookware be sure to follow directions! it tells you put veggie oil on the entire (green)surface then wipe dry. You will have to repeat this ONCE per YEAR. Afterward it works great! even burnt on gravy or stir fry comes right off with just a paper towel or running water. Do not Scrub or use metal utensils and it really will last. We've had ours for 6 months and it's still going strong.. and my husband is very destructive.. he's burnt three pans that had to be throw away. Orgreenic has saved us so much money cause now he can burn food and not ruin the pan!

The green is coming off a pot with just my fingernail!!! I didn't even use this item yet. I called Orgreenic directly and they want me to pay for the shipping fee for the replacement which I don't believe is fair because they were never used. Don't buy a product that the manufacturer will not stand behind without charging you.

Honest reviews on Telebrands Orgreenic, 10-Piece Set (Including Lids)

The second time I've cooked with these, food had started to cling to the pan (even with a bit of butter, because I don't believe anything is truly "nonstick"). This was a complete waste of money, and I can't figure out how these pans are supposed to be somehow environmentally friendly--is it because they're green? Because other than the color, they resemble like any other pan one might find in a dollar store.

These glasses look very attractive, however, they look awfully small. If the box didn't say 12 oz. I would have thought they were 8 or 10. However, I am surely biased since I have the Bordeaux glasses of this same line. Regardless, the lip is thin, and the glasses functionality is undeniable. If one broke I would lean towards buying it again, but I would check to see if they have a 15-17 oz first.

==Edit==

Have having a few glasses of wine in these, I must say the size is actually quite nice. I would amend my closing statement to, If one broke I would definitely buy it again!

I bought this pan seeking a replacement for our aging traditional non-stick pan. I didn't know much about the company, but the reviews seemed solid. I will add to the solid reviews. This pan is well constructed and works as advertised. It has a good heft, heats evenly, and holds its temperature well. The textured bottom does not impede the non-stick properties. I can't say I notice a marked improvement over a smooth bottomed PTFE-free pan, but it doesn't hurt.

A note to those who find the non-stick properties disappearing in your pans. This happened with a previous PTFE-free pan I had used. If you look carefully and run your fingers (particularly around the bottom circumference) you will notice a sticky film. This seems to be a build up from excess oil not cleaned off well. By this point it will be extremely sticky and hard to clean off. With some serious elbow grease, I was able to clean this off. The pan is as good as new. I haven't had the build up occur with this pan yet, but I recommend cleaning thoroughly after each use to avoid the sticky build up.

I've used this pan for a few weeks now and really like it. The color looks fresh and nice if I take the pan directly to the table. It's also cooked food evenly and is super easy to clean with no scrubbing needed. (I've only tried hand washing it). I wish that it were 12" on both the bottom and top, though, like my last pan was. This pan is 12" across at the top but 10" across at the bottom, which allows me to only cook 2 grilled cheese sandwiches instead of 3 at one time. But other than the size issue, I am very happy with the pan.

This is probably the slickest non-stick pan I've ever used. Unfortunately, the surface died a very quick death. I used this pan maybe 6 or 7 times before the non-stick surface started coming off. I was very careful with this pan gently using plastic cooking utensils, allowing it to cool before rinsing, cleaning gently with a soapy wash cloth, etc. And how was I rewarded for my caring ways?

Yeah.... don't buy this pan.

Honest reviews on Ozeri Green Earth Textured Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan, 100-Percent

This pan is great! It is so slippery it's like the food is floating on air. Since read about other people having problems with it, we are very careful to never clean it with a green scrubbie. Been using it for months now and its like it was brand new. My only complaint is that they don't make them bigger. When you go to turn the food it wants to go out the other side of the pan. sometimes i use two spatulas. one to turn the food and one to keep it in the pan. Make them bigger with higher sides!

I recently bought a ceramic cooktop stove and none of my pans would work well because of the grooves in the bottom. These pans are PERFECT for anyone who has a ceramic/glass cooktop. The bottoms are flat, they cook evenly and cleanup...no matter how greasy/messy...is a breeze!

We purchased a 14 piece Circulon commercial set at Costco about five years ago. A couple of the sauce pans that get used daily are wearing out due to our abuse not the product. We felt it was time to replace the set. We examined many sets online and in the store. We loved our old Circulon set so that was top on our list. Two things that was a must was glass lids and heat proof handles which became our biggest challenge. The lids and handles is what solidified our choice to purchase Circulon a second time. This set is great, we are really happy with the choice. The set looks awesome, the cookware is solid and well balanced. It is thicker than our commercial set and I am sure will last us for many years too come.

The issue that almost killed our purchase is that the set does not include a 3 quart saucepan. The 3 quart saucepan is our most used and abused piece and for this set it is sold separate for $70. We temparararily solved this issue with a Circulon Total 3.5 quart sauce pot on sale for $29.99 at a local dept store and used a lid from our old set to replace the metal lid that came with it. Not a perfect match but solved our problem for now. and we saved $50. As long as Circulon offers heavy duty cookware at a good price with clear lids and heat proof handles we will probably stay loyal to the product.

Prologue: It has been two months with the set and it is awesome. We still have not picked up the 3 quart (Haven't found it on sale for the right price). But we did find the 12" deep skillet with lid for $39.95 & the 11" griddle for $29.95 at a local discount home store. The 12" deep skillet is actually a must (the 10" that comes with the set is just too small for everyday use). The skillet is designed so well that without the lid it is rounded enough inside to be a 12" skillet or wok substitute. So you will want some extra pieces but the set is worth it.

I first purchased the wok, loved it so much, I knew the set would be a worthwhile purchase.

The pots and pans are fantastic !

I have baked, covered and uncovered,at 400 degrees various recipes in these pots, and the food cooks and browns evenly, yet the food never burns or adhears to the surfaces, its absolutely remarkable, and these pans are a joy to clean, yes I said joy. Its so easy, I almost feel guilty.

The lids appear to be dishwasher safe,( I hand wash them) and although well designed for cooking, the channeled rims do require a little more focus durring cleaning.

I have a glass top range, and the bottoms of these pots are perfect and compatable.

I shopped for a better price, not to be found, typical amazon shopping experience... total satisfaction.

Buy these circulon ELITE, the most atractive and functional of the circulon line, culinary gratification guaranteed!

ONE YEAR update: still love my pans, still look and work like new! I do put the lids in the dishwasher. I have NEVER had issues with a pan tipping over,maybe the one reviewer should level his range top?

the current price is a STEAL, great wedding gift, or gift to self if you love cooking, but hate clean-up !

Honest reviews on Circulon Elite Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set

The picture of the Circulon Elite set includes the large frying pan with the handle, known as a "chicken fryer". This item is NOT included in the set. Although this is a good set of cookware, I bought it because it included the chicken fryer. I was really disappointed when I opened the box and the covered frying pan was a regular small pan. Now I still have to purchase the other frying pan at an additional cost. It would have been more cost-effective to purchase the set from Circulon's website at a higher price and get their double bonus with the purchase. Per piece it would have been less expensive.

Honest reviews on GreenPan CW0004525 Paris Hard Anodized Crepe Pan, 11-Inch

After using it just twice, the surface discolored (blackened) and became rough to the point that I couldn't use the pan again. I contacted their support team and they said that it's probably oil stains and asked me to try cleaning the stains off with Mr. Clean. That didn't work. I told them that the stains were probably coming off of my non-stick spatula (which has a black coating), so GreenPan will not cover it (as it's due to the spatula and not the pan, according to them).

The spatula I have is a regular non-stick one--never had any issues with it when using it on other non-stick pans. Perhaps it is the fault of the spatula. However, there is no mention on their product description page about the potential risks of using non-stick spatulas with this Greenpan. So my conclusion is that this product is premature and/or has probably not been tested properly. If you need a special kind of non-stick spatula for this and cannot use regular non-stick spatulas with this pan, that's fine by me, but if that's the case they should say so on their product description page.

Their customer service is average. They are courteous in their emails, but the email service is a little slow. There was much back and forth, questionnaires to fill out, and it took about 3 weeks from the time I contacted them first for them to let me know that they cannot help me.

I should mention that I have two other GreenPans and I have no issues with those so far. I am a fan of GreenPan and will continue to use their products because they are awesome. It's just this particular model that has issues.

I was very excited about these cutting boards when I bought them. They were quite thin when they arrived but that didn't really bother me until...I put them in the dishwasher after using them ONCE (the description says 'dishwasher-safe' however no actual instructions were included in the pkg) for the first time and when I took them out they were all sort of 'warped' and now they don't lay flat AT ALL. I was very bummed and thought maybe all the flexible board were liked this, however...

The next day I was at a major discount retailer and saw a much thicker, sturdier pack of FOUR cutting boards for $5.xx! I bought them that day and haven't used the other cutting boards since! They are SO much better! So, I recommend you buy the 4-pk of flexible boards I mentioned at your local retailer NOT these poor quality ones.

UPDATE! Ok, so I had these cutting boards stored in a cabinet next to the other thicker cutting boards I mentioned I bought. I had a heavy stone cookie pan laying flat against all of them...and good news!...the Norpro boards I bought on amazon flattened out and look good again! So, maybe it just takes a little more effort to flatten them after each dishwashing.

Honest reviews on Norpro Cut-N-Slice Flexible Cutting Boards, Set of 3

These cutting boards are less of a cutting board and more of a plastic funnel/mise en place tool.

A couple years ago I bought from Amazon a set of flexible cutting mats like this, but they were larger (~11x14, methinks) and had a slightly gummy print on the back that helped it stay put on your countertop while you cut. These mats, unfortunately, are both smaller and have no such gummy print -so they slide around on the counter as you cut. Very, very annoying. I bit the $6 on these but would recommend that you NOT: rather, look elsewhere (outside Amazon, even?? *gasp*) for the larger and non-slip kind!

I bought this at the WMF store outlet in Germany. Was not the exact same configuration and hard to remember the price, but I think this price point is cheaper to the Germany, Euro denominated ones. Anyway, this is Gorgeous!!!! Simply a piece of design art and cooking function of the highest quality possible without going more crazy on price. The fact you can see the cooking process, the red silicone, the different levels of steam release... is just amazing. The only "drawback" is that the close section does not seal completely, but I guess it is not a pressure cooker. Scary price, but if you want something that will last forever and looks cool... go for it...

I bought this to replace my 7 year old model of similar design which I used on a daily basis. It heats pretty evenly at a slightly higher temp than the previous one, I set it 25 degrees lower than suggested temps. The convection works well and is much quieter than the previous model, you can barely hear it. No bulge on the side, either. I subtracted a star due to the door design, it is difficult to pull stuff out without contacting the HOT lowered door because there is no space between the lowered door and the rack, so you can't grab the rack with a potholder easily.

From the day this pan is shipped, i have never left using it for making breakfast. It is the best for the pancakes. I just clean it with the wipe or a tissue. Because of the non-stick feature, i do not even put oil on the pan. I would definetly recommend this product. For a price of $9.00, i think it is the best buy for me.

I love crepes and plan on making several types of crepes using different flours. I made a batch a few days ago and they are already gone. The pan is easy to use and easy to clean up also much more reasonable than similar pans!

I bought this pan as a "back-up" to my old trusty t-fal crepe pan that I use to make 2 egg omelettes. Sometimes we host brunches and one pan is not enough to keep up with hungry guests. Well, I received the pan, seasoned it with a little oil as suggested, and made my first omelette with it. Let's just say the t-fal has now moved to the back-up position and I may just pick up another Norpro for good measure. The anti-stick is great, the pan is light and heats evenly, ergonomics are good and it is the perfect size for 2-egg omelettes. Cleans up great in the sink and all I can't speak to yet is durability. However, it looks solid and well made, like most other Norpro stuff I own.

Now if you're curious about those omelettes, they're simple. Dice up whatever filler you want: ham, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, greens, whatever, and cheese of course. Saute to your liking in saute pan. Heat the Norpro pan on medium low. Quickly while the pan is heating, fork whisk 2 eggs, some water (for fluffiness), and seasoning to taste (you can also wait to season afterwards). A little olive oil in pan but I use the corner of a paper towel to spread it about and then leave no puddles. Plop the eggs in and cook until almost dry, with a soft or slightly runny skin on the inside. You can carefully work the egg a bit with the edge of your spatula to make sure the runny egg gets to the cooking surface, just make sure it all ends up one cooked piece, with no holes. Add your fillers to one half of the omelette, and then fold the other half over with one of these Kitchenaid Classic Silicone Mixer Spatula, Black. The long, wide, and slippery spatula is perfect to prevent the omelette from breaking when you flip. I like to have a slightly golden brown on my omelettes. Enjoy!

UPDATE: After using this pan about half dozen times, the coating on the BOTTOM of the pan is starting to come off. The non stick seems to be OK and it still cooks fine. I'm starting to get a little suspicious on the durability, so I deducted one star and will update more as time goes on. I stil think it's a bargain at what they are asking but if you want a pan that you'll still be using years later (like my t-fal), this might not be it.

Honest reviews on Norpro 9.5 inch Nonstick Breakfast/Crepe Pan

OVEN CLEANER is dangerous. Unbeknownst to me, when I cleaned the oven with oven cleaner, it seeped into the pan drawer below, luckily the crepe pan was the only casualty, it ripped the nonstick right off. The pan was great, slick and the right size when I used it the only and only time. I am buying another to replace the destroyed one, would recommend to all for making crepes.

I have used it 5 times so far. Works great. However, I'd love to review such items after 1 year the ultimate test for reliability and durability.
