New Fangled 'Copper' Cookware

[IndyRob]

After doing my rounds this holiday season, I've come to the conclusion that we may need to increase the size of all the big box stores in order to accommodate all of this new 'copper' cookware.

 

What the heck is going on?

But it's hard to tell who is copying who.  Copper Chef, Red Copper, Original Copper Pan, etc.

Ah yes.  I have seen some of the stuff in discount stores. If it’s copper then I have a degree in metallurgy that I didn’t know about.

Hella marketing is what's going on.  Carry on.

If it’s ‘copper’ we’re talking about, you just slick treed. Well, kinda sorta.

Copper is a color.

And if you've ever been around real copper, you know it's a completely different color...

I have friends that absolutely love it, but I am not giving up my All Clad.  I did get one piece because it was on sale for $11.99 at Fry's: Gotham Steel Nonstick Copper Crisper Tray. I have used it twice in the Breville Smart Oven Air and so far it has performed well.  The non-stick coating worked extremely well but time will tell if it holds up.
