Remember when Food Network fired Paula Deen for a racist comment she made to one of her employee and yet you allow Don Lemon on Beat Bobby Flay whose made more than a dozen seriously racist comments and promotes HATE every time he talks in public. I am throughly disgusted on the hypocrisy of Food Network firing Paula Deen and allowing hate baiting racist Don Lemon.

Food Network Spring Baking Championship

My family and I are DONE with your so-called competition shows. There has been a steady decline for years now and this last season of SBC was the final straw. These shows used to have some integrity and actual CHALLENGES. Towards the finales it used to be Baked Alaskas, Mirror Glaze cakes, Croquembouche etc etc. Now the most basic and juvenile desserts are acceptable, and there are different standards for each baker. Also, why is Molly Yeh’s name on the title screen? No other host (OR JUDGE for that matter) ever had their name featured. Apparently this is no longer about the bakers, just an ego boost for a self-entitled millennial…. You’ve made these shows a joke. The last legitimate winner of any of these shows was Adam Young in 2015.

Congratulations on speeding this show’s journey to the cancellation list

Food Network Baking champioship 2022

WHAT A RIGGED COMPETITION. THERE IS NO WAY that Jalessa deserved to win. SHe made a cake. a cake ...what progress?

You have a skilled and CONSISTENTLY talented French baker---who can bake anything and MORE than a cake and you pick Jaleesa?

Stop placating us.

What are the rules? how do you judge--duff? what crap you try to hand us as if we dont see how loose the judging is---

TOTAL dissapointment.

Desired outcome: fire your judges--LOVE Nancy.

Food Network Spring Baking Championship 2022

Not really a complaint per se - just a big disappointment on this years Spring Baking Championship. There were a lot of editing discrepancies. Like chunks of stuff was left out and weirdly edited that made it a bit confusing at times (like time warp things were happening).

I personally didn't care for bringing in the 2 bakers after the initial contestants had formed a unit/bond. And then having those 2 be against each other. It was like you added a show w/in the show.

And then bringing back someone who had been eliminated. I loved Carolyn, but the point of this show is to eliminate down to the final and declare a winner.

And then not telling contestants what the challenge is until judging starts (on the finale preheat...telling them the bottom 2 had to go into a sudden death)..and adding injury to insult, having them have to compete to make crap you put sprinkles in better. These are baking pros - it was insulting to them and to us, the audience. When Molly suggested making brownies and elevating sprinkles - I was with Romy...I would have walked off.

Please do better for 2023. This is one of the better shows left on the network and it really turned me off this year! As a side note...can Jesse come back?

Thanks for listening

Desired outcome: That producers/creators just let the actual baking talents of the contestants be enough...and the challenges are clear when they start, not when they are over.

Food Network Tournament of Champions III

Watching the finale episode. You need to get rid of the woman judge with the glasses (I can't remember her name). It is obvious that she's been judging so much that she knows who cooks what (when you are on every episode of the season, the best of food critics can identify a chef by the cook). May I suggest for the semi-finals you have judges that have not judged any previous competition. And then on the finals, change the judges, again, that have not judged any previous competition. It's the only way to be fair. There is enough chefs in this world that you can have different judges for each episode.

Food Network Girl meets farm Molly

During an episode of girl meets farm aired 4/6/22 demonstrating roasted squash shells and cheese recipe, chef Molly says “the combination of nutmeg and cheese is cozy af”. Cozy AF? Cozy as fuc*?!? You allow the vulgar slang on a tv cooking show? This is so inappropriate!

The FCC prohibits the use of the F word! Even though not stated it was definitely implied!

I will report this episode to the FCC

Desired outcome: She should be reprimanded and instructed to refrain from inappropriate language Is she too dumb to express herself without the use of vulgar slang??

I am so disappointed with the host of the show in general but asking for a “sprinkles“ recipe from the final four “professional” bakers was insulting and childish. No wonder Remy walked off.

Food Network Pushing immoral behaviors of your contestants on your viewers.

Why can you not quit pushing the immoral behaviors of your various Baking Championships contestants on your viewers. I loved watching your shows, but I won't anymore along with many other people I know. You are putting more and more queers & trans on your shows. WHY? Are your receiving good money to push this mess? We don't need to see or hear about the immoral behaviors of these people on your shows. Last night did us in when Molly had to ask what someone does in his spare time - Really? and of course what was shown - pictures of a man in his dress up attire. If they want to do this fine - just keep it off the air and out of our face. This is supposed to be about cooking & I thought a family oriented show - not about the immoral things you like. Very disappointed in Duff, Nancy & Molly & the others involved in this show.

Desired outcome: QUIT PUSHING THE IMMORAL BEHAVIORS of your contestants & just show the cooking part. I would like a response

Food Network Baking championship show

Both spring and holiday baking championship shows need to go back to the old format. The new format is slow and boring. The challenges are all cake and it’s not fun to watch!

Food Network Spring Baking Championship

You have two shows with the same name.

Spring baking Championship

The first show has hosts has Sunny Anderson, Duff Goldman, and Nancy Fuller I really enjoy this show

The second show has Lorraine Pascale and Kardea Brown I don't like them and do not want to watch them.

Since they have the same name you have to record both or none and it is an inconvenience I have other shows that I would like to record during their time slot.

Desired outcome: Let me choose what shows I want to record and don't try to force into watching something I don't like change the name

Food Network Cookie sheet ovenwares

These set of 3 cookie sheets have to be by far the worst cookie sheets we have ever bought.. No matter the temperature of the oven, they burn all the food and they twist so bad they almost flip over in the oven...Do Not buy these. They were bought at Kohls in Paducah Ky. There are no numbers on the cookie sheet to have them identifiable, only the name on them.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology and a response..a refund would be nice but I cannot find receipt..

Food Network Garlic press breaking in half!

My garlic press broke in half at the hinge. I can't believe how many reviews state this problem, yet it's not pulled from the stores. I had garlic presses that I got rid of because I bought new/different color ones, wanted all to match, yet I'm left without a garlic press in the middle of cooking and in need of pressed garlic! Someone in a review I think at Kohl's wrote that she went ahead and bought a second garlic press and the second one also broke. We can't keep buying garlic presses that break in half! It has lifetime limited warranty yet there is no information anywhere how to file a claim, I asked at Kohl's and they had no idea. This is unacceptable!

Desired outcome: Refund and manufacture a durable product. Also recall the defective ones from stores so it won't happen to other people.

Food Network 10 pc Textured titanium nonstick cookware

I received these pots and pans for my mother for Christmas. We are in the middle of a move so I didn’t open them until we miss the new house. For the first time last night in my brand new house I open them up to cooking them. After We ate supper I did the dishes, I put them in the dishwasher because the box said they were dishwasher safe. However to my horror, the bottom of the pan changed colors and the colors ran. I can’t explain exactly what it looked like. But it reminded me as if I would have put a lighter to the bottom or it and it burned a streak and left a sooty color.

These were not cheap and I am very disappointed in the product.

Desired outcome: I would like a replacement if I didn’t think this was going to happen again. If this is common I would like a different but comparable set. My kitchen is gold and black. I didn’t want boring black when is why my mom get these for me.
