Back again to give another review. Started using the new red speckled set January 2009, now in May 2011 the cookware is still looking pretty new (hand washing). The one pan I use the most is kinda marked up inside from metal utensils- my bad. Also I realized the handles have a thin coating of color over black. I scrubbed a black spot and it got bigger! Ugh, it was the black showing underneath and I made it bigger. Oh well, I’m happy the cookware has lasted this long. But also take into account I have other pots and pans, Calphalon and other brands I use too.
Would purchase again for my gas stovetop.

I jsut got a set of Paula Deen cook ware for christmas. So far I love using them. They cook really good and cleaning them is really easy. I do clean them in the sink rather the dishwasher. I also cook on a glass top stove. I do slide my pots and pans around. I have had my stove for ten plus years. It’s a GE. the only scrathes on my stove are from the pans I put on there from the holidays that hold the turkey and ham. I think between the pots and pans and the stove issues, is all in how you use them and how you clean them. With the pots and pans becareful with the untinsels you use in them if they are the non stick kind. I love mine so far and would buy them again.

My husband got me the red set of Paula Deen cookware for christmas. I love them. I also have a glass top stove. I have had no problem using them. I have choosen not to put them in the dishwasher just because I dont want to mess them up. I have no problem cooking with them. Found out pancakes cook REALLY easy in them(ha ha). That’s when I found out just how non stick the frying pan was. I have used them mulitple times since I have gotten them. So far I have no problems with mine. I would reccomend them.

Hand wash only. If I was you I would also go over to Amazon and look up that set and see what others are saying about it. It seems like the red set has had some issues but hopefully they have improved on it since those reviews. I have the black set for almost 2 yeas now and I have had no issues with them. My stove is also ceramic glass. Enjoy!

We recently purchased the red speckled cookware set and stupidly threw away the care instructions.I have been to many sites & e-mailed a few companies following Paulas manufacturing trail only to not get any answers. can anyone tell me the care instructions for it? We have a ceramic glass top stove also.We have been so afraid to use it, it sure looks nice on our racks tho!! lol Thank you

What’s the difference between PD 14-piece set and 12-piece set, other than having two extra pieces. IS the quality of the 12-pieces in both sets is the same??

Hey, I am an associate at a cookware store that sells Paula Deen’s 12-pc Nonstick porcelain cookware set. At my store we ask customers about what kind of stove top that they have. We have heard of the problems with the porcelain cookware causing trouble with the stove top. It has been documented that the porcelain has stuck to stove tops and cause more severe damage. For glass stove tops we recommend heavy but not too heavy smooth surfaced bottoms. This helps to ensure satisfaction. I would suggest normally not suggest porcelain to a customer with glass stove tops. There are many other good quality sets out there. They may not have the look you want but in my opinion looks are not as important as the quality of their performance. If nonstick is what you want we also sell Pyrex Cookware that works well and Revere nonstick.

I would be willing to help as much as I can with any other questions that you may have.

So Many negative comments I had to come back and leave a positive one.
Bought my cookware about a year ago and would buy again. The pans I use the most are still in great condition, non stick has not worn much. I wash the pans in hot soapy water, only takes a few minutes. The pretty red finish still looks new. I cook on a gas stove, would not use this set on a ceramic top. JMHO
