I bought a set of 12 white square dishes at Kohl's in 2020. The salad plates keep cracking. Three have cracked in the microwave, even though they are supposed to be microwave and dishwasher safe. One other has broken in the dishwasher 😏. I'd like to know, are they defective? How do I get a replacement or refund? Thank you in advance for your help in thi...

Food Network Cookware set

First off, I hate leaving this bad review because the pans are beautiful & they cook well. But they are cheaply made! I have used them twice now, hand washed, used silicone cookware, & basically babied them! The enamel chipped when making rice! So my smaller pot has chipped in 2 places upon the 2nd use. I'm so sad but I'm going to have to return. It co a t too much to already be chipping! So sad because I love the look & how they cook, just hate how cheaply made they are. Not worth it prices at all.

Desired outcome: replacement set.

Food Network Red 10 pc Ceramic pot and pans set

I've had the set for a about 3 months and they are NOT nonstick at all. Tried making a fried egg the very first time and it stuck. They only got worse from there. They are the worst pots and pans I've ever washed. When I wash them they still feel sticky and have Residue on them. I will never buy anything made by food network ever again. Very poorly made.

Desired outcome: My money back

Food Network I am complaining about a person on The Food Network

I would like to make a complaint against Sunny Anderson on the Kitchen. She is very loud & obnoxious. She also has terrible table manners, her bites are too large, she talks with her mouth full & makes a smacking sound while she eats. She is very off putting. All the other members of the program have manners & class. Sunny just doesn't fit in. We love watching the Kitchen, except for Sunny's segments. Also, her hairstyles are often extreme.

I agree about Sunny Anderson. I will not watch anything she is on. When she’s on Beat Bobby Flay I turn it off. Now she’s going to be on BBQ Brawl (one of my favorites). I guess I won’t watch this season. She is so loud and obnoxious and I can’t even stand to hear her speak. Come on Food network you can do better

I agree 100% with Julie Cerrito. I have wanted to comment for over a year with regard to Sunny's over the top behavior and totally adds nothing to the Kitchen. She detracts from the rest of the content of the programs. It's very hard to watch but I love the other hosts.

Oh my goodness. The above opinion seems such a rude thing to write! I adore Sunny, and always pay attention when she is on. Such smart cooking direction, down to earth and funny.

The only reason I popped on this was to complain about a 12” skillet (Bobby Flay Brand) that’s coating started flaking and wearing far too fast. I doubt that the lifetime warranty will do anything for me.

I bought my daughter a set of 12 dishes by food network at Kohl store in Fort Myers, Florida only a year later all the plates and cups are chipped. They should last at least a year, right? Is there a warranty on these or do we just give them to goodwill? Hard to believe you but something nice and it only last a year. If I don't get a response I will put this information on the internet. My email is [protected]@aol.com

Food Network Carla Hall

Please for the love that all is holy, remove her from Beat Bobby Flay, Holiday Baking Challenge and any other show she sucks off. She is overbearing, over actor and generally scares small children.
Any show she is on, I switch off immediately. She rides on the coattails of accomplished chefs.
Her credentials do not warrant her to be where she is at, plus she is scary and untalented as hell.

Food Network Colby dinnerware

I just picked up a box of Colby dinnerware and there's a chip in the glaze in two mugs and one dinner plate. I don't want to have to continuously exchange them for new boxes, hoping to not get more chipped dinnerware. Is there any way that this can be rectified? If nothing can be done, I'll just return them and buy from another company. Hope to hear from you soon.

I bought my set Jul 30, 2020 order #[protected]. The ceramic coating is peeling off. I do not use any metal on my pots and pans to preserve them. I love these pots and pans and would like to continue to use them. Perhaps I received a bad batch? I'd like a replacement set if possible.

Food Network Cast iron enameled dutch oven

I was given a beautiful cast iron enameled dutch oven Christmas of 2018. I've been using this pot for all sorts of things, baking bread, making soup, etc, needless to say I love it! However the other day I was making broth in the pot and I noticed 2 chips of the enamel had come off and the cast iron was leaving a trail of extra particles in my broth. I'm wondering if there's something I can do to seal this pan again or if I could get a replacement. I really love this pan!
Pictures included below.

Thanks so much!

Food Network Harbor dinnerware

I purchased 2 sets of this dinnerware at kohls. Within the first year 3 dinner plates broke while warming food on them in the microwave. I just had another one split in half this morning while it was in the microwave for one minute. These are very poor quality. I believe that dinnerware set should last more that 18 months of normal use.

Food Network Pots and pans

We bought these pans and love them, but wondering why the coating is peeling off one of them at the rim of the pan. The rest of the set is just fine. It has had no unusual wear or tear. It actually has been used less than the rest of them.So would really like it replaced. I have included a picture for you to see. Please let me know if anything can be done.
Thank you!

Food Network On-line recipes

After subscribing for a few years, and enjoying the content and saving a few recipes, it seems to no longer be possible to get a recipe from foodnetwork.com without giving up my contact information. This is not much of a good deal for me but it looks like a great for FoodNetwork since they can now share and sell my information. This change is obviously the result of a management decision to get long term site subscribers (I am certainly one of those) to give up personal information that they can share with others in their network or sell to anyone who is willing to pay for it.

Food Network Copper outside and ceramic inside pot and pan set

I looked at several pot and pan sets. Considering on the best one's I could afford. I alway watch the food network and figured that would be the set that I would buy. I have neve abused them only using plastic spoons and spatula and always careful not to scratch the inside. After the first few times using them. Everything started to stick in them no matter what I used butter, oil, ect. And only gotten worse. For my budget they was not cheap. And I still use them because I can't afford any others. But if I could I would buy another brand. And I hate to say that because the food network is very interesting and helpful for a man. Any responses would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time. Mace whatley.

Food Network Red non stick pots and pans

Purchased this set less than 6 months ago, and after a few uses the metal on the bottom is not holding up and the pan looks like it is 10 years old!
The frying pans if you use oil burn and are not non - stick. I tried to make pancakes and had to stop and put the pan under cold water it was burning!
I am very disappointed.
This is not an inexpensive set and it has not held up to the warranty.

Food Network Worst cooks in america

The chefs in Worst Cooks in America are repeatedly killing lobsters by putting them live into boiling water. This is animal abuse and is no longer acceptable behavior. The chefs are renowned chefs and know this is no longer the acceptable way to kill these animals and yet continue to TEACH people how to do this. If they don't stop showing this and start teaching the humane way to kill lobsters I'm going to report them to PETA.

Food Network Disrespect on television!!!

Henson should be fired! Disrespecting the First Lady and the son is disgraceful! I don't care if your democrat or republican this man should not be on tv! I will boycott your show and magazine and pass the word on! He's a despicable person to even do this and especially to a child!

Food Network host John Henson

if you can remove Paula Deen then John Henson needs to go for insulting remarks about the President and his son. There is no room for this kind of nasty behavior I will not watch any show that he is hosting and I will start a campaign to boycott you. Thank you Alexia boothe 4 [protected]@gmail.com

Food Network doorfront direct

I never signed up for doorfront direct, which always is at the bottom of my driveway, right next to the mailbox. Anyone walking by can pick it up and take it. If its raining its soaked! I want my magazine put in the mailbox. If this cannot be done, cancel my subscription. I enjoy this magazine, but apparently some of my neighbors do too, or the workers in the area do, and they are taking it. please put my magazine back in the mailbox, this was a horrible idea, especially if you are away and the magazine sits out front and is taken!
