The rubberised color co-ordinated handles are dual riveted and give a nice comfortable and secure grip.
The Paula Deen 12-pc. nonstick signature porcelain cookware set is oven safe to 350° F so you can start cooking on the stove top and finish the dish off in the oven.
There are copper plated rings attached so that you can conveniently hang the pots from your pot rack.

How does this set hold up on a smooth glass cooktop? Many of my pans warp when heated up so cannot be used on this new stove top. Will this set warp on the bottom?
The Paula Deen range of cookware has only recently been released so information regarding this product is fairly limited at this point. So at the moment I am finding it difficult to find out whether these are safe to use on induction or ceramic cook tops.
As more information becomes available we will provide an updated review but at this stage we can’t really provide you with a suitable answer.
I have contacted the Paula Deen company for more info but just waiting on that at the moment.
No reply yet? Christmas shopping season is upon us and I would be very interested to hear Deb’s reply. Thank you!
Yes I did receive a reply but it wasn’t particularly helpful. They just directed me to a website which has the same information that you can get pretty much anywhere on the net.
I will try again and ask them to be more specific.
I gave up on my GE Profile smooth glass cooktop range. Today a Maytag Gemini double oven gas range was delivered. Now all the pots and pans in my cabinets will be put to use.
That’s a shame Deb but I guess there is no point if you can’t use the majority of the mainstream pots and pans that are available today.
The people who designed the glass cooktops should have been more agressive about advertising what cookware is good for their product. The people who make cookware should have advertised if their cookware worked well on the smooth top ranges. Someone missed out on a great opportunity to put out a whole “new line” of cookware.
I may eventually purchase a set of that Paula Dean cookware. It is pretty to look at, is non stick and I like the red color for my kitchen!
Two reviews so far are good.
well this is interesting – I just bought the signature series 13 piece porcelon, it is sitting on my table and I open the box and it says not recommended for glass top stoves – first, why wasn’t this on the front of the box,
plus the fact that they were not diswasher safe,
and now I am concerned about ruining my glasstop stove – should I take the set back
and consider the product as not properly disclosed on the box?
now I am really curious about what I purchased-since I do not see it on any website- the set I bought at Sams is a 13 piece set that included a third saucepaun and a griddle – I am hoping this is the real deal Paula Deen item –
also reading more on the “recommendation” sheet in the box – that the pots could scratch
my glass top, and cannot place a hot pan on a cold stove top – I am assuming cannot “slide”
a hot pot over to another burner not on -
I think I am getting disappointed in what I bought but love the look of the set!
Did not know about being careful to never put a hot pot on a cold burner. Did it all the time, guess I was lucky.
Main reason to use non warping pans is (I read this)your burner will continue to heat where the pan is not touching. This will eventually ruin the burner.
I keep extra tile squares next to my cooktop and cover the cooling burners. They take so long to cool down. You could sit hot pots on a tile next to stove.
Maybe best to return the set and do more research.
thanks Deb -so you have a glass top and never had a problem putting a hot pan on a cool burner right? Are the Paula Deen pans pans that warp? and what happens to the burner?
Have they ever scratched your glasstop?
thanks for info -
My glass cooktop was not hurt with hot pots moved to cold areas. Never did find out if the Paula Dean cookware warps. You will have to heat it up good (maybe boil water) then cool it and sit on a flat surface. If it rocks just a little it is too warped for the glass top range. My very old Salad Master cookware does not warp but it is not non-stick. I wanted non stick.
The LP guy will connect my new gas range on Tuesday. The GE glass top is going to Salvation Army.
well ladies – I packed it up and taking back – will look for set suitable for glass top-
I could not find a website to contact the Deen
company – I would like to share with them
what I encountered – if you have site please forward
thank you and happy holidays
I received a response from the company. Here is what they had to say:
Dear Paula,
Thanks for your inquiry. Our Paula Deen Porcelain Enamel cookware is suitable for use on ceramic stove tops.
Most Sincerely,
Gary G.

We contacted the company through the Paula Deen website here – http://www.pauladeen.com/contact but we got the response back from the Meyer company and you can contact them here – http://www.meyer.com/contact_us.html
Dear Paula – is the set at Sam’s Club the same as these pictured above and if so, can I stick the pots/pans in the oven safely at 350 degrees? I would appreciate a prompt response as I want to buy a set for my daughter for Christmas. Thanks. Flygirl33 in 1000 Oaks, CA
It’s a bit hard to answer that without knowing which set you are referring to in Sam’s Club. Do you have a link to the actual set on their website so we can take a look?
I just purchased the charcoal set as a christmas present for my daughter. I found a website that rated the construction quality of this cookware as very good.
The set at Sams looks to be the same as the ones above, it just has the extra piece (griddle). The price Sams is charging is about $20 more than most people charge for the 12pc so that would also lead me to believe it is the same just packaged with an extra piece.
Thanks for the quick response Mike and Paula. I will buy the charcoal set probably without the grill. Flygirl33
Not sure if posting a website is allowed here, but I found a website where you can purchase this set for $84 with free standard shipping. If it is ok, I will post the website.
That will be fine Mike. Post the link if you like.
Thanks Paula. It is http://www.potsandpans.com
my husband bought me your copper bottom pans I want to know if they are okay for a glass top stove.
Hi Janet
We don’t actually sell anything on our site. We just write about it and refer you on to companies who do sell it so your husband would have bought it from one of those companies.
To ensure you get the correct answer to your question I would contact the Paula Deen website directly. You can do that at the following link: http://www.pauladeen.com/contact
I personally would also contact the manufacturer of your stove top as well to see if copper based pots and pans would work okay.
Ugh my husband bought me these Paula Dean pans because they would be easy for me to handle with my hands. I am soooo scared I will ruin my cooktop. I always move my pans to a cool burner. I do not want to ruin it… I guess I have to decide if I should take them back. Anyone out there who has actually used them???
Hi Kari
Why don’t you contact the people at the Paula Deen website. They are pretty quick to give a response and at least it might save you the time of having to return them. You can contact them here – http://www.pauladeen.com/contact
I also purchased the 14 piece Paul Deen Signature Collection cookware set, in red. Mine says right on the box that it is safe for ceramic top cook tops, along with several others. I love them and will be keeping. As far as moving the pans around, that’s true for all cookware, not just Paula’s.
Has anyone bought the Paula Deen Percolator? I keep looking at them, but would like an outside opinion from someone who has already used one.
dON’T BUY THESE! Can you believe they are not dishwasher safe?? Ridiculous!! You don’t know until you buy them and take them all out of the package there is warranty information saying that if you put them in the dishwasher the warranty is void.
However they do cook well and have nice handles…but you still can’t wash them in the dishwasher and you have to soak them in baking soda for 20 mins prior to even using them.
At no place; not the packaging, website nor shelf does it say that Paula Deen’s Signature skillet’s non-stick coating is Teflon. I would like to know.
I am thinking of buying the Red Por. Cookware set. Has anyone owned this set for a while and found that the outside did or did not chip? I can not find any information on if this occurs with this type of cookware. I have never owned Porcelain cookware before. Thank you for any information on this.
Paula,
What is the non-stick material that you use in the speckled charcoal ceramic set sold at JCPenny?
Hi Bradley – I am not actually Paula Deen. It’s only coincidence that we have the same name. To answer your question you either need to contact the Paula Deen website http://www.pauladeen.com/contact or contact JC Penny.
After reading everything here I think some things need clearing up. All nonstick pan/pots need to be hand cleaned. Putting non-stick in the dishwasher causes the non-stick to break down and it starts to fall off. Here is a list of some other pots/pans that are NOT for the dishwasher because it will cause discoloraton: Hard-Anodized Aluminum, Porcelain Enamel-exterior, copper bottom, Plain Aluminum. You should never slide any pots on glass/ceramic surfaces cause it will scratch it. Now I did buy the 13 piece set at Sams for $75 last one left. I couldn’t pass up that deal. Another person said you have to soak these pots in baking soda. They were talking about Copper bottom pots only. On my box it said that these pots are suitable for solid plate, ceramic, radiant ring, halogen and gas stoves. The thing I did learn here was not to put a hot pan/pot on a cold glass burner. I have been doing it for years and never had a problem but after finding out they can become fused to the burner I will stop doing that. The non-stick surface they use in these pots/pans is called Polytetrafluoroethylene which is another fancy name for “teflon”. I have not use the set I just bought so only time will tell how well they hold up. The only other concern is that they say on their instructions that decorative pan bottoms may not conduct heat evenly on glass/ceramic stovetops. I find this strange since the bottoms are decorative and they indicated that they can be used on Ceramic stoves.
I just wanted to thank you all for actually having a great discussion regarding cookware for glass top stoves. I have been looking all day to find info on this because I just got my Rachael Ray hard-anodized cookware in the mail and after opening the box, read on the instructions that I can not use it on my glass top. I knew I was going to have to return it so I started looking at other cookware and came across Paula Deen’s collection. I could not find postings on any website that actually answered the question, “Can hard anodized cookware be used on a ceramic/glass stove top?” Ater finding this website and reading the postings, I have decided to get some of Paula Deen’s cookware. Thanks again!
I just want to let everyone know I have tested out the pots. They heat evenly and fast with NO warping. Clean up is a breeze. I absolutely love these pots for now. Time will tell how long they will hold up. I know these pots/pans are not very heavy but it makes handling them easier. I have owned heavier pots/pans and when filled with food it was like lifting weights. Not good for people with arthritis in their hands. Again they cannot be put into the dishwasher. I read somewhere that a woman put her Paula Deen’s red non-stick pots into the dishwasher and the inside of the dishwasher turned pink. She claims that it didn’t say in the instructions not to put them into the dishwasher. Well I don’t know what instructions she had but the instructions I have said NOT to put them into the dishwasher. Now just to remind everyone that the set I bought was the 13 piece set in black from Sam’s Club.
Just wanted to say thanks again for all the information on these pans. I will be using my soon – getting my new utensils so I don’t scratch them all up.
I have the red porcelain pots and have been using them on my glass top without any problems. They do not warp. They actually work extremely well on the glass top. The only thing I am dissapointed about is that I was not aware there was a 12pc. set and I purchased a 10pc. set. I am desperately trying to find a 2.75 qt. COVERED saucepan (which the 12pc. set includes). I can only find a 5 qt saute pan, which is too big. Does anyone know if I can purchase the items separately? Or do they carry a smaller COVERED saute pan?
Interesting how this discussion is still going on. The Paula Dean porcelain enamel set I purchased had instructions that said not to use on smooth cook tops. (My set is the speckled enamelware). As someone else stated, there was no warning printed on the outside of box. I recently read that porcelain enamel is not good for use on smooth cook tops, if the pot/pan has a tendency to warp the enamel will craze or crack.
I enjoy my set so much that it is not bothersome to hand wash. Warm soapy water quickly removes any food deposits.
