I subscribed to Food Network Magazine. I received one issue along with the bill. I paid the bill and never received another issue. After three months, I contacted customer service and was told 'too bad - we sent them - you have to contact the postal service and or file a complaint.' This is not acceptable. I purchased a service that I did not receive. A seller is responsible for ensuring a reliable delivery method. I have other magazine subscriptions and have never had this problem with them. I asked for a refund and for my subscription to be cancelled. I promptly received a response saying my subscription had been cancelled, but they ignored my request for a refund.

Got these for Christmas
Very sharp
Was using my 5” serrated blade knife and the handle came right off
I sliced my finger
You better check your manufacturing
These are defective
I also got another three piece set I’m returning because of safety concerns with your manufacturing

Long time viewer...As talented as they all are...why don't the ladies with long hair pull it back when they are cooking on tv?

I find it hard to believe that your network can completely dump a great cook and host like Paula Deen. You dropped anything from her, due to a comment that was made in the past. Yet you put a convicted felon on the show and network. Unbelievable! It saddens me to say I will no longer have your channel in my home. You are a bunch of hypocrites.

Was making hard boiled eggs on medium flame & cover shattered. I don't understand how this happened.. the pots are only a year and a half old.. I really like these pots and use them everyday, but I do need the covers to cook. I've been cooking for over 40 years and this has never happened to me before. Can this cover be replaced please. Thank you.

No matter what we do everything sticks! Even in the saucepans.
I'm disappointed I love the red color and was excited about the non stick surface.
I always hand wash my pans and pots I do not use sprays like Pam. I would use butter or olive oil and nothing worked.
I spend more time having the pans soak and cleaning them then cooking.

Purchased a enameled Dutch oven from Kohls a few months ago. The non-stick coating blew off the bottom while the pot was heating up with oil in it. Not sure who to contact to resolve this issue.

Watching Triple D EARLY in the day and a sandals resort commercial or something similar to sandals, comes on. Showing way too much sex and even my son said "whoa, what the heck?" Take that commercial off, you don't need it. Geez, now even food network isn't safe? Ridiculous.

Bought a pot and pan set from Khols and by far the worst 100 bucks I spent. Pots and pans were bent and warped. Lids didn't fit properly and got worse over time. Very hard and difficult to cook with because the lids will fall in pot or pan and makes a complete mess

Watching episode #8 of Season 13
Very disappointed in Giada's EXTREMELY low cut white dress. It was very distracting and inappropriate. Very disappointing!
There are been multiple other shows where her cleavage is always showing, but this is by far the worst I've seen ever!

Season 10 episode 5.

In DC restaurant (Oohhs and Ahhs).
Lamont Jorden is wearing an offensive shirt that has "my President" with the Obama logo. Politics should not be on the network at all! This is not the first ! Ace of Cakes episode showed the receptionist wearing a "barrrock the vote" shirt.

Shame on you!

I would love to get a replacement of the bottom of the coffee/spice holder since the plastic wheel broke. I have looked all over for replacement parts with no luck! The model is FNGRB1000. I had originally bought this from Kohls. They no longer carry this model. I do not have a copy of the receipt.

I am so over watching Giada's boobs. She is a great cook but she always has her chest hanging out. Very difficult to take her seriously.
I think you may want to rethink how she is seen. Maybe it draws more men to watch but doesn't make her look very professional. Thank you for listening.

The plates are all uneven. They do not sit flat and they look terrible when stacked in my cabinet because they are all different. I just opened them, so who knows the actual quality. I will most likely return the and try a better quality company.

I am extremely disappointed in this product. I bought it a week ago, washed it per the instructions and it is already falling apart.

I will definitely think twice before purchasing a Food Network product in the future.

I received a food network pot set for a present. I loved them until the frying pan has a circle in middle that sticks and the small pot that I use every day for hot cereal has chips all around. I use wooden spoon all the time. The rest of the pots are wonderful but these two that I use constantly are messed up.

Please tone down the background music on Chopped. It is nonstop, even when the judges are talking to the chefs. The music is constantly face-paced and drowns out all conversation. Please go back to the level it was on previous seasons.

This is not a complaint but a comment---On 30 minute meals---R Ray which show that I love---the handles to the pots & pans are usually on the out side---for safety reasons & children I think this is a hazard! Love love the food network!

We just watched the fort Myers alligator contest. This was very disturbing, taping baby alligators mouths closed for a game is disgusting. We can all see the gators were immobile once they were taped up. This is cruelty. I am now rethinking about watching this show

While cooking dinner tonight my food network pans rivets exploded almost hitting me in the face. I would appreciate a replacement set and a shipping label to ship this junk back to you guys! This is a real concern! Very dissatisfied customer here!

I bought the 12" frying pan in 2017...from Kohls & it is warped ...it will not sit flat on my stove top ! I can't use it!
Kohl's no longer carries it ...so I would like Food Network to replace ...it has a lifetime warranty!
I thought this was a reputable company that stood behind its products

I purchased this flatware set from Kohls in late November 2019 for a Christmas present for my wife. After using the set for a couple months several pieces are beginning to rust. Several knives, forks and spoons have rust spots. My wife is furious.

Guy’s Grocery Games is on again, isn’t there anything else you people can come up with! Why not make the channel strictly all about him and let’s not forget ole Bobby Flay

Same stuff you people just beat it into the ground
