These are very good looking but ultimately very high maintenance pots and pans. When you get the pans the directions say to soak the them in baking soda and water for 20mins to remove some kind of film they spray on the pans to keep them from scratching while being shipped. The copper bottoms are very nice and the inset Paula Dean stamp in a very nice detail however, I had to send back the first set of pans because even though I followed the directions perfectly they were still ruined the first time I used them. The bottoms became discolored and burnt looking with black streaks; I even made sure not to exceed the recommended heat settings which is medium. The smallest pan in the set, a 8inch skillet, became so discolored it was yellow! Black streaks were listed as being a "side effect" if the protective film wasn't removed before use, but I knew I did everything like the directions said to do and the copper had done more than turn black it had yellowed and came off completely. I felt that maybe I got a bad batch of pans so I returned them for a replacement. This time I soaked the pans for 30mins in two boxes of baking soda. Then I used a natural sponge and a more baking soda to scrub the bottoms for 5-10mins. This time the pans have not yellowed or lost any of the copper bottom but there are still a few black spots where I assume I didn't get all the protective film. I feel as if I've done more than enough to prepare these pans for use. They cook great so I'm just going to keep this set even though there are a few imperfections in the bottom after use. The copper accented lids and the copper sides detail look good with the rest of my stainless steal kitchen.

I bought these because they were pretty and I needed new pots. I was extra careful to purchase a style with nice feeling rubber handles so they would not get hot to the touch and could be handled easily. I overlooked the fact that the handles for the lids have a metal rim around them, and burned my hand taking the lid off the pot the very first time I used one. I'm returning them. I also felt the pots were smaller than I anticipated. They were all about an inch smaller than the counterparts in my old set, which is less expensive at Macys. This is a big difference in the little saucepan and the medium saucepan I use for pasta for my kid.

We got this set after purchasing just 1 pot that is a little larger from the same style. It is awesome!! The lids fit very well. All of the pieces feel very sturdy and like they will last a long time. Cleaning these pans is so easy. The one piece that we bought a few years ago still looks brand new and we use it often. The finish (red) is stylish and holds up after many uses. I really have no complaints for this set. Get yours!

I had brought Paula Deen small sauce pot last year in red and used it every single day. Then I decided to to purchase the pots and pans set by Paula Deen. I choosed the the color Aqua because is my favorite color. The set is so easy to clean and overall beautiful! Forget to mention that my cooking is FABULOUS on it!
