Emeril Everyday Reviews

Purchased cookware set 2 years ago. Two problems.

These pans are truly non-stick. They advertise as being dishwasher safe, however, they clean so easily, I really don’t ever put them in the dishwasher. And the dishwasher is heavily used in my household of 6. I’ve actually used metal utensils & it truly is metal-utensil-friendly. I’ve used these for about 6 mo now & would recommend them to anyone. It’s totally worth the small investment.

The forever pans are not non stick anymore, they are chipped and have scratches. Not worth the money we spent for them. The company should replace them all. Have tried on many occasions to contact the company but always get ran around in circles. Not happy at all.

I purchased this set on Oct 09/8/2021. Today is 09/15/23. My 1.5 qt pan is peeling off from the inside of the pan. "Not 4ever" pan set... period. I contacted customer service today... We will see how I make out... To be continued...

I paid more for this pan than I ever thought I would for any pan and it was no better than any other. In less than a year it was no longer nonstick, no matter how much olive oil we use. The lid is nice because it has an opening so you can drain the pan with the lid on. And it came with a steamer basket. The spatula they sent with it cracked after a couple of weeks. The only reason I haven't thrown it away is because I paid a pretty penny for it and I'm determined to put it to use somehow. I might have given it 3 stars but alas my expectations were directly proportional to the price. Therefore, I was really let down.

I bought these pans in the 10 piece set that I saw advertised on TV. When I received them I learned that the aluminum core causes Alzheimer risk. The commercial shows that the pans can be used with metal utensils and not scratch. The first time I used the deep fry pan and stirred the eggs I was scrambling with a spoon I made 5 scratches in the pan. I decided to return the pans even though I had already given my prior pans to Goodwill.

The Emeril forever pans only warranty the metal pan forever. The coating is only warrantied for 2 years. During the 1st 6 months the coating started to flake around the rim. We called the company and were given instructions about what to send to their email. That has been submitted 4 times with no reply. The call center says that is the only way to get a replacement. Our next step is the BBB.

If you want remove the lid to check on your food or stir it or whatever, you have to CAREFULLY and SLOWLY lift the lid while keeping it completely level and then gently bring it over to the side of you. If you don't do this, all of the water that was collected pours back into the food you're cooking or worse, all over your hands, arms, feet.... basically whatever is in the immediate area and it is SCORCHING HOT and WILL BURN YOU.

I was impressed with the quality of the pans and initial nonstick coating. However, when the skillets are heated, they bulge up in the center and any oil in the pan flows away from the center and pools around the margin of the pan. I have never seen this before in any other kitchenware.

I purchased a 2 pan set with a large and a small. They said it worked with induction but the small pan didn't. I contacted them and returned the small pan and they sent me another set. Again the large pan worked and the small pan didn't. If you use induction beware of this cookware.

Emeril's lids to cookware are glass and metal and collect food debris between same. There is no way of cleaning out this food debris that becomes permanently stuck between Emeril's lids glass and metal. I am very disappointed in Emeril's cookware. The food particles/debris are gross and cause mold and toxicity to collect between Emeril's glass and metal lids (around the rim of his lids). I am very upset and want a refund!

Emeril Cookware offers to a have lifetime warranty. But fails to honor it when someone makes a claim. The nonstick interior is not nonstick anymore. Inferior. Their Representative declines to replace it.

I have a set of Emerilware pots and pans with glass lids that are at least 10 years old. Took out the 6 quart stock pot this morning and the glass lid was literally shattered. There is nothing that would have fallen on this pan nor temperature that would have caused this. Looking to see if anyone else has had this problem. I love the pans with the copper core. Very good quality for the money.

I got the Pot and called right away customer service, they said someone will get back to me, that was in February and I am still waiting for someone to write or call. I called more than 10 times, they did not give me an authorization code to return it. I tried to send it back and it is a $ 150 charge for shipping, they give you 90 days to return it free, impossible. I can't believe that such a rich and famous man needs to ripoff customers, me included, I am a retired and handicapped senior with very limited income and I think this is outrageous. The pot has a big dent on the side, the controls do not work. I have a piece of garbage metal in my house and to get another one I would have to pay $ 150. I don't have a receipt, I paid with a credit card and bought it online. Shameless! Thank you. Michelle **

We ordered the Emeril 360 XL, instead we received the regular 360 with extra accessories. After we called and complained, they gave us a credit of $45 if we keep the regular 360. We decided we will try it out instead of going through the hassle of returning it. The infomercial states you can rotisserie a 10 lb chicken. We used a 6 pound chicken, trussed it properly with cooking twain, it barely fit in the 360 and turned it on to 360 Fahrenheit as recommended, after about 20 minutes it started smoking so bad, we had to open every window in the house. We emptied the drip pan during the 2 hour cooking process 3 times. It should have never smoked that much, if this was the winter you would not be able to use it in the house. Very disappointed! And appliance gets extremely hot externally. Would not recommend buying it!!! We will return the product!

I am so happy that I have the best air fryer that I have ever had. Yes, I have bought other ones but Emeril's is the only one that made me laugh out loud after using it for the first time! It's worth it. Weight in gold!

I have used this Emeril skillet/fry pan for several years. Today after frying chicken I noticed that the pan seemed a bit crooked on the stove. After I finished cooking and went to clean the pan, the whole bottom fell off. Since this was not a cheap pan I expected it to last quite a long time. Very disappointed.

Great set of cookware except for the weight, they have even cooking surface. Glass lids are a plus and the assortment really works well. Fry pans from the small are all good sizes, the large fry pan with two handles is very heavy, but it’s Great for cooking for company!

This cookware is so nice. I really like the look of it. It heats up fast. Cooks evenly. Clean up is a breeze. I would surely recommend this cookware to anyone that is learning to cook or a seasoned cook.

We buy please saute and frying pans from Emeril and we are chefs. We love the quality and the durability of these products. As long as you don't use metal spatulas or utensils the surface remains in great condition.

It is one of the best cookware I have ever used. I have used many different brands throughout the years but this cookware outshine all others. This cookware holds up better than some other brands I have used. Cleans up easily. The one thing I like better is it heats evenly and doesn’t burn the food.

I have had this for years and it still looks great and has been wonderful to cook with. I have used Calphalon, Kitchen Aid and Rachael Ray. My Rachael Ray cookware has peeled on the bottom. I have Not had this issue with Emerils. Would definitely recommend buying it. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ve had my cookware for over 10 years. The only thing negative is I didn’t get it with a nonstick coating so the skillets don’t look very good now. Hard to clean. Otherwise it has held up fairly well.

I’ve had my pots and pans from Emeril for over 10 years. If they stick to warm you can just let it soak for a couple of minutes and it seems like it just peels right off, when I got mine I think I had it for about three months and I had a problem with the handle on one of the Lids. I called the company and they sent me another one at no cost. Great value. I will continue using and will look At pots and pans.

I purchased an Emeril Cookware set about 15 years ago and recently the 3 quart pan and the 10" skillet began to separate at the bottom. At the time of purchase the pans were made by All-Clad but now they are made by T-Fal. I contacted T-Fal's customer service department and eventually sent the pans to them for warranty replacement, they covered all shipping costs. Today I received two new pans, while being somewhat different in appearance and lighter weight than the originals, I can at least use them now. If nothing else they stand behind their lifetime warranty.

The handles on the pot lids should have a heat safe coating!! Like a silicone. Have burned my fingers several times because I didn’t have a hot pad handy. Has this been addressed? Need a refund and new fingers.

I bought the original copper clad stainless steel set made by All-Clad. From what I understand, the more recent items are not made by All-Clad anymore. I also have a non-stick set from about 10 years ago and have had none of the problems listed. However, even though it says you can use metal utensils, I never have and have had no problems with the non-stick functionality. I regret that I have washed them in the dishwasher and the bottom of a couple of the pans is washing away and I can see exposed aluminum. I have the deep fryer and it works wonderfully.

I have owned and used the Emeril copper bottom cookware set for several years now and just this week the 3 quart sauce pan starting exploding the contents all over my kitchen. First instance, I was boiling water and there was a loud pop and then the boiling water volcano-exploded all over my stove and surrounding area. Fortunately, no one was close enough to get scalded. Second time, I has olive oil and onions in the pan, stepped away to retrieve the garlic to add, and then - a loud pop, the the contents exploded all over the stove and the floor. My husband was just out of reach so no one was hurt. WHAT IS GOING ON? What causes this? I want a full refund on the set because I cannot trust any of the pots or pans to be safe at this point.

I purchased the Emeril 11 piece hard anodized cookware Feb 2019 because it stated on the packaging it was metal utensil safe. It wasn't. By Oct 2019 the bottom of the pans are all scratched and scraped. The frying pan has even started to rust in spots. I would never recommend this cookware to anyone.

The cookware was purchased mainly due to the alleged copper component. Sad to report that there really is NO copper, but rather a section that was stained/painted copper color but has disappeared. First I thought it was just tarnished, however, even after copper cleaner the copper has 'disappeared'. Phoney, fake, and unfortunate to have misled customers.
