Red Copper Cooking Pan
« Reply #-1 on: September 14, 2016, 09:57:16 AM »
I just bought one of these...



Going to do the seasoning process this morning. A friend swears it is the best pan she has purchased so when I saw it at Wal-Mart I had to try it. I hate Teflon cookware but like the non-stick properties. This is supposed to be nonstick and durable.

I will let you know how it works once I give it a try.

Not too sure about seasoning process. There's no pores that will enable seasoning, it will all wipe off

I just watched the review and was surprised. My friend ranted and raved about how good the pan was so I decided to give it a try.

I did buy it from Wal-Mart for only $20 and they have a no hassle return policy so we shall see after I test it out myself....

My experience has been that the pan works pretty well so long as it is squeaky clean.  If I don't hand wash it with hot, soapy water and gently scrub with a sponge using pressure to assure that all films and gunks are gone, stuff will stick to it like cat hair on a wool suit.  Some foods cook easily and quickly and never seem to stick (eggs, pancakes, potatoes and most veggies) while others (lean meats, especially) will catch on a bit and leave a sticky residue behind.  A spritz of Pam or similar pan release spray helps with these but sometimes they'll still stick.  On a scale of zero (worthless) to ten (perfect) I'd give the thing a strong seven.

For comparison and contrast I have a Cuisinart non-stick skillet, too.  Nothing sticks to it.  Nothing.

Mike I have had bad luck all these years with nonstick pans ...real bad

We have a discount chain called Job Lot in the NE. They had one that looks like that for ten dollars (not sure of the name) or less six weeks ago.


Against my better judgement I bought it for my wife.  Wee six weeks later it works like a charm. no scratches & it is still non stick.  I would give it 4.5 stars as it is not as nonstick as it shows in the advertisement.  But it is non stick just not as good as it shows.

Time will tell but I wish I had bought two

I had bad luck with no-stick skillet too. I got rid of all my Teflon long ago; went to cast iron and carbon steel and love them. My brother raved about Green Pans so I got one after about a year it was crap. Wife wanted me to get an Oregreenic and I said no! She came home with one and said it was only $17. I think it was at least 4 yrs. ago and it is a great pan. She likes it for eggs and it is lighter than my other skillets. I use it too and stuff will stick some but that's mostly the cook, you got to let food release before you mess with it. I always use a little olive oil or olive oil spray with any pan I fry in.

I read the Amazon reviews on the two different brands of red copper and none were good, but then I was surprised none were good on the Oregreenic either. Below is my pan. Don
