Food Network cookware

Food Network programming

While I love Guy Fieri, why is he the only person on your network. Every time I turn it on there he is! If you read comments on Facebook you will see millions of people want cooking shows back... Rachel, Paula, Sarah, Ellie, Alton, Mario, to name a few! We don't care about the scandals with Paula and Mario, your audience loves them! Give us what we want! Your losing viewers and that truly is a shame!

Food Network shows

Some of the things they do to Chiefs on the different shows is crude, and shouldn't be allowed, it's not funny. Myself and my
husband have both been fans of Food network but you are turning us off and probably others also..The worst cooks in America I will not watch and not worth my time, and the last thing, I can't believe your putting a show on with the creep Johnny Weir. He's not a chief and doesn't know anything about cooking so he doesn't need to be on there just because he won a gold medal, that's stupid and I won't watch it along with thousands of others. The last thing is judges going over and talking to contestants who have time restraints when the are cooking, that should not be allowed that's tacky and irritating. If this keeps up your going to lose many viewers.

Food Network porcelain coated copper pan set

I purchased a set of pans back in Nov for around 150$ from kohls in warsaw, Indiana. I thought for sure they would be of good quality with them being food network. That was the first time I had purchased pans in about 10 years, to give you an idea of how often I can afford to spend a decent amount on a new set of pans. I was VERY dissatisfied with my purchase, by Dec/Jan I couldnt coook anything in the pans without it sticking. I dont even use the frying pans anymore and have resorted back to using my pans that are over 10 years old bc everything I try to cook in them would stick. I have never put them in the dish washer, oven, used anything to scratch the surface, or damage the enamel. Maybe you can direct me on how I can get use out of them because it will be awhile before I can spend that kind of money and get new pans again. Also, what kind of guarantee do you carry on your pans? I would hope that they are guaranteed for just a few months...

Food Network martha stewart

I am in total disbelief that you hired Martha Stewart as a judge on Chopped. Several years ago she appeared on Chopped Junior several times. I did not feel was the appropriate person for the job and on one episode she was drunk! When she had her own TV show I really tried to get into it but it was a zero and she was part of the reason I felt that way. I have been a loyal watcher of Chopped and Chopped Junior for many years as is my husband. When I told him Martha Stewart was going to be a regular judge he e pressed his dismay. We will give this a chance to see if she will be OK but we have serious doubts that with her w ewill continue to enjoy the program and will give up watching all of Chopped. I am very sad.

Food Network martha stewart chopped judge

I thoroughly enjoy watching the large variety of programs that your network has to offer. However upon learning that Martha Stewart will be a judge on your chopped program I regret to inform you I will no longer watch any programs on your network. It is only my opinion that Martha Stewart is not worthy of your programs nor do I agree with your jingle that she is Queen of cuisine. You have many female Chefs/ Cooks who are more deserving of that title than what she is. As long as the Food Network program Associates with Martha Stewart I will find something else to watch.

Martha Stewart is ruining Chopped! The Switch Stations was a terrible idea and only brought down the quaility of the dishes presented. Martha needs to be "chopped"!

Please cleaver Martha. Her latest excuse for a show has been a disaster and it seems she is out to sink this one as well. I have been a fan of Chopped for years but I will stop watching if the has-been, doughy-faced diva stays on as a judge. She needs to go back to mixing cocktails with celebs over Zoom on her own hideous program, but I am guessing that has already been chopped.

I think its hilarious and so displays Martha Stewart's lack of culinary prowess. She has thrived for so many years on those who worked behind the scenes and did all the work for her with no credit. Martha is unable to offer an educated opinion on a single dish yet still makes millions off the food network. At some point her ignorance should become obvious even to her narcissistic self and she should bow out with a very miniscule amount of grace. She has already lost all credibility, dignity and grace. Just get off my tv

I love Chopped but Martha Stewart as a judge...really? She is a snob and thinks so highly of herself...illusions of grandeur? I also noticed her co-chef on the panel was not wearing his glasses (which he always wear) and I could almost smell the hair product after his haircut probably 30 minutes before the show. She was so rude to the contestants; she forgets her beginnings. Let's not forget that she is a criminal and even though she did her 'time'...freedom to roam about, living in a bungalow and teaching cooking classes. My opinion of this show has been drastically altered. Martha Stewart is a lonely old woman and is highly over-rated!

I have watched Chopped for years and always loved it! However, I don't understand why Martha Stewart is being marketed for the program. She brings nothing of substance, in my opinion. It saddens me that the advertising department did a clip of her saying, "I'll be the judge of that." It conveys arrogance and superiority. I have always admired the judges on the show and have never heard one grandstand in the same manner. For that matter, the fact that the show does not promote brand names has been refreshing to me. That's gone now.
Pretty disappointing Ted.

I have always loved chopped. They have made Alex, Ramon, Marc, Ted, Marcus et all - so many chefs we would have never felt like we know - household names.
I have no issue with Martha Stewart personally, but you changed the feel of the entire show by promoting her.
I always felt like this was a safe, non political, unmoved by personal stories only judged strictly on food show. Which has made me watch it religiously for more than a decade.
Please. Don't cheapen it. You added horrible sound affects to your celebrity chef worst cooks addition. And now Martha is bringing food. Promoting her brand and changing the format of a highly highly successful show.
Odd. But changing it may have jumped the shark inmy opinion. I dislike the new fawn over Martha format. Please let this go.
Judge with amazing chefs. Let us get to know them. We all are tired of Martha.
And I'm switching to Guys Grocery Games because so far? He hasn't sold out yet.
Please change back.

I have no personal opinion about Martha Stewart as a person, BUT she is just nasty as a Chopped judge.

I no longer watch the show because she cannot deliver criticism without being nasty. The horrendous look on her face says enough without her opening her mouth.

Boooooo! Food Network & Chopped!

Food Network food network 6-qt covered jumbo cooker

I purchased 2 of these the beginning of April 2017. One was for myself and the 2nd was for my daughter that I gave her this past Christmas 2017. Its a huge Pan and I loved it for frying chicken or making a big batch of sauce. Its not a pan I use daily so I was very surprised to see a bubble form under the Teflon. It has gotten worse and a hardball size piece has peeled away. I can no longer use this pan without the risk of eating the Teflon. This pan was expensive and it is painful to just throw away. Is there anyway of me returning this pan to you with copy of proof of purchase and either a refund or full replacement. I buy your product often and hoping there was just a flaw with this particular product. (There is nothing wrong with my daughters) Thank You, Laura McGovern

Food Network cheap eats

I enjoy watching the show. It's nice to see other cities and the foods of other cities. Unfortunately it is not a practical solution for family of four. It's great if you're traveling by yourself.

According to $35 daily allowance, it would cost a family of four $140. This is not an affordable or feasible solution for many.

It would be nice to have the same type of show for a family of four.

Food Network food network hard anodized egg poacher 2.7 qt

I have tried to use the pan several times and the eggs always stick to the cups. I have tried butter, Pam, oil, and nothing at all. Sticks every time. Hard to clean the cups. I have to let the soak in soapy water the scratch the egg left overs with my nails. This pan is retail for 59.99. Not sure if this is a defective pan. Very disappointed customer. Wondering what I should do next?

Food Network knives and food containers

Foid network containers lids immediately snapped off

Also bought food network ceramic knives that snapped at base. Almost cut my finger off.

Food network doesn't care as long as people think cheap stuff they imported from China sells

Won't buy another thing from food network. They evidently don't use their products before they allow their name used

Food Network 10 piece ceramic pots and pans

I bought this set less than a year ago for a birthday gift to myself I was super excited to get them because I have always loved Food Network products. I paid close to $160 for the set from our local Kohls store. The first few times using the pans was great nothing stuck and they cleaned up awesome. But about 6 months in I had to throw away the large frying pan because everything stuck so bad I couldn't get it clean no matter what I did. Now the little frying pan has to be thrown as well because it has turned black. Now we have NEVER used metal in the pans and we have NEVER used cooking spray only oil from time to time. I have to say that the cheap ones I get from Wal-Mart are a lot better and last longer. Sorry Food Network but you have lost a customer [protected]@gmail.com😥

Food Network pots and pans cookware

Hello

I purchased a set of pans to the total of almost $140.00.

These were very expensive and are listed as "stainless steal"

My "stainless steal" pans have started rusting !

We have had them for just over 2 week, and have taken care of them to specifications of the use and care instructions.

This is absolutely not acceptable. The store we purchased them from (kohls) is refusing to replace them or exchange them.

I have been supporting the food network for over 10 years and I am grossly disappointed.

Please do something about this situation

Thank you for your time

Food Network stock pot

I have an orange Food Network Cast iron Stock pot. Had it about a year and only used it a few time. Today I was making a Chicken noodle soup and when I was browning my chicken I heard a pop. Thought something went wrong with my stove but after looking behind the pot I notice some orange paint chips. Remove the pot from the burner and found a number of larger paint chip and a inch to inch and a half spot on the bottom of the pot that all the paint was gone. Nothing out of the ordinary that I did. Just a pop and all the paints gone. Can no longer use this one. Please reply.

Food Network 10 piece ceramic cookware set

Excitedly purchased this set because it waz about time we did something nice and they were not cheap. In thd first few months, the rivets on the two large fry pans came loose and the handles are now loose. The other morning while my husband was cooking breakfast, the rivet cover on the inside of the small fry pan flew off like a projectile. Thank goodness my husband had stepped away to ask me a question. We are very dissapointed on this purchase. We have had this cookware almost 6 months. Very sad.

Food Network more shows about cooking

This channel is supposed to show things about food, cooking and stuff like that. But each time I watch it I see something that not related to food at all. Plus, many shows kept running over and over again, same commercial every fifteen minutes, it's very irritating. Maybe you have to stop it?
I would like to see much more shows about cooking, recipes, and food in general. I don't care about The Pioneer Woman and shows like this. It's not interesting and not about cooking. I guess many people will agree

Food Network copper ceramic pots and pans

I just want to say we were so excited to get these pots and pans as we heard great things about ceramic and cooking. These pans have been nothing but a frustration and complete disaster! The food sticks no matter if we use cooking spray or not. Our frying pan smells of chemicals and the middle is black tinged. The highest we cook on is med-high so that should not happen. I have taken up stock in baking soda as that is the ONLY thing that cleans them back to mostly white. Needless to say we have requested new pots and pans for Christmas and would not recommend these pots and pans to anyone.

Food Network snapchat

On your Snapchat story on Friday November 17th 2017, there was a quiz you can take and the question was which was the food that was not served at the first thanksgiving. I picked turkey and it said it was incorrect but there is no evidence that they served turkey at the first thanksgiving. I know that I'm right because there is a history video and history.com explains that there is no evidence about the turkey at the first thanksgiving.
Kind regards,
