Copper Chef Ceramic Nonstick Square Fry Pan 5-Piece Set
Design:
This set features the classic, beautiful copper colored pans for which Copper Chef has become famous. These pans are durable but also lightweight, making it easier to handle them than traditional pans which can be heavy and clunky.
The smooth, copper finish will look great in any kitchen. Each of them is square, making them easy to stack in cupboards.
Materials:
These pans can be used with electric, gas, ceramic and even induction cooktops; they will allow you to achieve similar results no matter where you are cooking. They have a stainless steel induction plate that allows it to cook food quickly and evenly on any type of cooktop.
The non-stick technology that Copper Chef uses, known as CeramiTech, prevents food from sticking, allowing you to cook without butter or oil. The lids feature a sturdy, riveted handle that is heat resistant up to 850 degrees.
Usability:
We have found that these pans hold up very well over time. The non-stick coating is great and continues to work after cooking with it many times. Rubber utensils are recommended to avoid scratching the non-stick coating.
Food cooks evenly and it is nice to be able to take things from the stovetop to the oven in just one pan. Some users found that the edges did not get hot enough, but that can depend upon your cooktop.
The coating makes it extremely easy to clean up after cooking and it is healthier to cook with less butter and oil. The deep size of the pan allowed us to fit more into the pan and was great when it came to cooking for a crowd. To protect these pans and get the most for your money, we recommend hand washing.
Cleaning:
The Ceramitech non-stick coating allows for easy clean up. Some consumers say that they can even wipe out the pan with a paper towel when finished cooking. They are dishwasher safe, but hand washing with a mild soap and a soft, non-abrasive sponge or scrubber. If stacking pans, we recommend that you place a soft cloth between each pan to prevent scratches.

Copper Chef Ceramic Nonstick Round 3-Piece Pan Set
Design:
This set of Copper Chef pans feature a beautiful copper color on the inner and outer sides of the pan. The handle is silver and riveted onto the pan for a solid handle that provides extra security when handling it.
Their timeless, round shape will fit into any kitchen style. They feel sturdy and durable while being very lightweight when cooking with them.
Materials:
They are made with a heavy-duty five-layer construction and each has a stainless steel induction plate that provides an even temperature all across the pan. The heavy-duty aluminum construction is hard anodized and provides a long-lasting durability while still being lightweight.
The induction plate makes these pans cook quickly and evenly on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops. They are also oven safe up to 850 degrees.
Usability:
The light weight of these pans make them very easy to use on a daily basis. They have held up very well over time, with no warping or hot spots. The non-stick coating makes clean up a breeze and it has held up well.
We have found ourselves using less oil and butter while cooking to make our meals healthier. And with the pans being safe to use in the oven, we find ourselves using less pans which means less clean up after meals!
We do not use metal utensils with these. Instead, we recommend using rubber, wooden, bamboo or silicone cooking tools to prevent scratches. They are very durable and we have had no troubles, even while using them on a daily basis. While we have at times put them in the dishwasher, we typically hand wash them with a mild soap and I think that has helped them to last longer.
Cleaning:
They feature a Ceramitech non-stick coating that allows for easy clean up. We recommend that you hand wash these pans with a mild soap and a soft, non-metallic sponge or scrubber. Pans are also dishwasher safe. If stacking pans, we recommend that you place a soft cloth between each pan to prevent scratches. They are durable enough to use every day.

Usability:
Consumers rave that this pan can be used over and over again, while showing very little wear. The non-stick coating prevent food from sticking and burning. To take care of the coating, it is best to use wooden or rubber utensils when cooking and to avoid using metal cooking tools.

Both the pan and lid are safe to use in the oven. The lid is safe up to 500 degrees and the pan itself is safe up to 850 degrees. This allows you to easily start something on the stove top and finish it in the oven while only using one pan. Everybody loves less dishes!

It is extra-large in size, allowing you to cook more food at one time. It features a 3D Diamond Square texture in the bottom of the pan to help with cooking. While this pan is larger, it is still fairly light weight.

We have definitely been able to tell a difference using the Diamond Pan over other Copper Chef pans. All are great, but this one keeps food from sticking the best.
The large size makes it easy to cook for a crowd. To best maintain the non-stick coating, using non-metallic cooking utensils is best.
Cleaning:
It is dishwasher safe. To keep your pan in the best condition, it is recommended that you hand wash the pan with a mild soap and a cloth, sponge or scrubber that is soft and non-abrasive.
