@Felton10 What are you doing to your pans that they only last 3 years? Maybe you should spring for those pans I see on late night TV that have a lifetime warranty: Granitestone. They’re on sale @ walmart for $10 a pan.
@Felton10@Kyser_Soze The cast iron skillet we use daily is from the 1880’s,and once seasoned is nonstick and rinses clean. There are few things you can still buy that will last a lifetime, but iron cookware is one of them.
@Kyser_Soze My frying pans get almost daily use as I have to cook a fried egg for my parrot every morning. I get the ones that have a cooper finish inside and they are great at the beginning and degrade over time. Maybe I don’t prepare them properly prior to their first use.
@Felton10 Maybe I’m using different math, but if each pan lasts 3 years wouldn’t that last until you’re 109? If you mean each “set” red & black then wouldn’t it only last until your 79? Seems like it’s either going to be a lot longer or a lot shorter than you think.
@unksol Well maybe-just like I choose to grill him a chicken leg (not nightly-do a bunch at one time). Except tonight he is eating lamp chops-he throws the chicken leg out of the bowl when I give him a lamp chop-I didn’t raise a stupid bird. BTW-he is almost 23 years old. Got him when he was 10 weeks old and I don’t keep him in the cage-free to come in and out of it as he chooses.
they are great at the beginning and degrade over time.
@Felton10 The degredation is due to build up. Give them a real good scrubbing with baking soda.

@unksol Yeh-lots of pics-if I knew how to post them here would share some or if you feeling sending me your e-mail address via whisper can send you some. He is an African Grey Parrot-the smartest one you can buy regardless of cost, but I think ours is lazy, stubborn or has a learning disability.
There have been several pet sharing photo threads. I think I’ve only seen one parrot back on woot. Up to you if you want to show off your friend to the world. Somewhere on the internet my cat probably lives forever in a woot monkey cap and cape but I’ve never been able to Google him
Wait, did your write up suggest that people paint non-stick skillets? Are you just setting people up for failure? Having a viable career as a skillet painter is hard enough, but non-stick? Come on man, that’s just harsh.
TBH they come already packaged in boxes of 12. We are just too lazy to break them out.
Ha ha. Good luck with that.
Interesting experiment though. I imagine some folks will order with the thought of distributing the extra packs among friends, family and maybe trying to sell them somewhere?
@00 OK, just now, same thing. I read "“Cuisinart Set of 12 Non-Stick Skillets.” My wife responded the same way, leaving out the profanity. & I responded “that’s why I laughed”. However, if somehow we were still up at Midnight when this sale started in the easter time zone, she might have said “why would anyone need 12 fucking skillets?”
@Fej Dominoes. Extreme Frisbee. Beach shovel. Snow shoes. Dog food bowls. Putting out really big candles. clanging them together to wake up the family. Pan band. Canoe paddle. Killing zombies. Paint pallet. Russian nesting pans. Spanking.
Yeah, right. Too bad they wouldn’t get here before Valentine’s Day. Instead of getting my significant other a dozen roses, I could give her a dozen skillets.
@RogerWilco That’d be much too subtle for her. She’d say, “Oh, you want me to cook something”, and then go for the meat cleaver. She’d want to have a Donner party on me…
@ponagathos I’d be in for that. One set of skillets would be ideal, but I’m a bachelor and don’t need a dozen to remind myself that I have no one to cook for but me. Sadz, not sadz. I need a dozen skillets as bad as I need a 5-gallon barrel of mustard when I shop at the wholesale clubs.
I guess the real question we all need to answer is that if you DID need 12 nonstick pans with a limited lifetime warranty AND be dishwasher safe, would you rather pay $337 or $96…
Q: Why can’t I buy more than x?
A: Because jerks will come in and buy up everything before you even get here and try to sell it to you for more on eBay. We want to sell to actual people, not to other stores.
Well, that seems to have gone right out the window, huh?
@hamjudo it says only safe in the oven for 20 min at 350 my guess is that is due to the handle not the pan itself. Besides who the hell puts skillets in the oven?
@hamjudo@zacks I put my skillet in the oven often. Best way to cook chicken breast. Sear it on the stove and then chuck it in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes.
@zacks@RiotDemon It’s also the best way to make cornbread. Cook some bacon in a skillet (usually cast iron). Consume the bacon. Use the grease as part of the cornbread batter. Pour batter into the bacon-greased skillet. Put the skillet in the oven.
I’m so lazy I may buy them as disposable skillets and chuck them after a single use. I think some famous rapper does that with socks and underwear and I want to be like him.
@adwaller I once worked on a boat (tall ship) where we were docked next to a huge, expensive, fancy yacht. The crew on that boat threw their dishes overboard after they’d eat. When they left we went diving and pulled up several net fulls of nice dishes, silverware, etc.
@adwaller I’ve heard such things as well.
I once bought a pack of underwear and went ahead and started wearing them without washing them first. As it turns out, that was a bad choice, and one I have not since repeated.
@adwaller@Limewater thanks just reminded me I have clothes in the washer. And that water line feeds one in the attic. And the temp plummeted to 21 and dropping. Do not need burst pipes
I’m tempted to individually gift wrap all of these and then give them to random people on leap day and pretend as though it’s a common thing to give people cheap cookware on leap day. Not quite a funny enough joke for a hundred bucks though.
I actually need a couple non-stick pans and would consider getting this and sharing/donating the excess (and there is a LOT of excess here). Except I need pans that work on an induction cooktop and “aluminum core” won’t cut it. . .
I love omelettes and do cook often for family (Filipinos love to cook and cook for our big extended family). I would love to buy this and distribute among the family. When we DO get together, everyone brings their skillets/induction burners for some serious brunch
I almost bit. Almost. However, it isn’t induction capable and the fact when you google the model number this is seemingly the only place on the internet these have made an appearance makes me too skeptical to jump.
Of course I was planning on splitting/gifting. Who needs 12 skillets?

@cengland0 I know. And no baby arm. Surely you could fit one in that large skillet.
That’s a lot of skillets
It looks like this involves cooking. I’m out.

I NEED some of these.
I do not need all of these.
Why, meh?
@kdemo I’m not gonna spend $96 when I need 2, maybe 3 pans.
@kdemo Craigslist
@kdemo Consider it an investment. They won’t last forever. Or think you only have to wash every 12 days.
@kdemo I also only want/need some of these. Wanna split the pack?

@davidwr99
Dear FSM, Why!??!!?!
@ciabelle - ramen.
Are these the new fidget spinners? Will we be seeing sets of 1000 soon?
@jwoody27 is that something you want to see?
@jwoody27 @moofi You sell a set of 1000 of these for $500 and I’m in.
@moofi I want to see someone use that many at once for fidget spinners.
@jwoody27 I’m down for some giant fidget spinners made of frying pans.
@moofi @ddbelyea @jwoody27 Or juggling. Now that would be cool - juggling 12 frying pans.
If you had so many, you could have priced them like Built NY cases? I would pay a bit more per pan for fewer total.
@kdemo same here
Let’s see-I am 73 years old. With each set lasting approx 3 years-this should last me until I am 85. Skillets for life-have to think on this one.
@Felton10 What are you doing to your pans that they only last 3 years? Maybe you should spring for those pans I see on late night TV that have a lifetime warranty: Granitestone. They’re on sale @ walmart for $10 a pan.

KuoH
@kuoh Your math is failing to take in to account that this listing is for 4 sets of pans (4x8", 4x10", 4x12"). 4*3=12, 12+73=85
@Felton10 @kuoh
@Felton10 I am 98 percent you choose to fry an egg for your parrot. You don’t have too
@unksol Well maybe-just like I choose to grill him a chicken leg (not nightly-do a bunch at one time). Except tonight he is eating lamp chops-he throws the chicken leg out of the bowl when I give him a lamp chop-I didn’t raise a stupid bird. BTW-he is almost 23 years old.

They must have a shite-load of these to only sell them in a 4-pack when you only need one.

@mike808 @therealjrn Or if you have an RV or vacation home or lots of kids going to college?
At least this 12-piece set isn’t half lids.
So there’s that.
@mike808 it is if I use the extra skillets as lids.
@Ignorant Well there goes my unitasker argument for not buying these.
I guess you guys didn’t see Dark Waters, huh?
@axekicker78 The specs do say PTFE/PFOA free and petroleum-free
Given the reviews of these on Amazon, this “deal” should last a year or two. Hard pass.
@heartny better than bees, I guess
@heartny @jmoor783
Or rabid badgers.
@heartny @jmoor783 I’d rather have the bees but I haven’t built the hives yet. Too cold for wood working
You might need one nonstick for eggs. Although if you get your other pans up to scratch maybe not even then. Who on Earth needs 12?
Guess what’s gonna be in the next IRKS!
Today’s sale made me laugh out loud.
My wife asked what was funny.
I read, “Cuisinart Set of 12 Non-Stick Skillets.”
She asked, “why would anyone need 12 fucking skillets?”
I explained, “that’s why I laughed.”
@00 OK, just now, same thing. I read "“Cuisinart Set of 12 Non-Stick Skillets.” My wife responded the same way, leaving out the profanity. & I responded “that’s why I laughed”. However, if somehow we were still up at Midnight when this sale started in the easter time zone, she might have said “why would anyone need 12 fucking skillets?”
@00 @Joedetroit Where exactly, is the Easter Time Zone? And can I live there? I like bunnies.
@00 @Joedetroit You just never know when you’re gong to need another aluminum pan. 12 wouldn’t even last a normal storm season in the Midwest!
KuoH
@00 Did you explain that these are cooking skillets?
@00 @Trinityscrew It’s a undisclosed location. Yes we have bunnies.
We put our best looking pans on the stove top because we have no room in the cupboard. Sell some bigger shelves and I will consider it.
Why the fuck would anyone buy 4 of the same skillet? Expletive necessary. No joke, I want to hear what these could be used for. Be inventive!

Yeah, right. Too bad they wouldn’t get here before Valentine’s Day. Instead of getting my significant other a dozen roses, I could give her a dozen skillets.
I can imagine what her reaction would be.
@eeterrific “get the fuck out”…?
@RogerWilco That’d be much too subtle for her. She’d say, “Oh, you want me to cook something”, and then go for the meat cleaver. She’d want to have a Donner party on me…
@eeterrific @RogerWilco At least she should have enough pans to cook you all at one time!
@eeterrific @moofi @RogerWilco Hmm, I just flashed on “The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover”
@eeterrific get her a vacuum to go with the pans, let us know what happens
@macromeh @moofi @RogerWilco Ever see “Eating Raoul”? Skillets played big in that movie…
The ultimate Meh-hoarder skillet pack.
Do you really need more than 1, 2, perhaps 3, at most, skillets???
This is the most ridiculous offering yet. And not a deal. These 3 packs are garbage pans and Macy’s has them for $20 a pack every other month.
@ponagathos I’d be in for that. One set of skillets would be ideal, but I’m a bachelor and don’t need a dozen to remind myself that I have no one to cook for but me. Sadz, not sadz. I need a dozen skillets as bad as I need a 5-gallon barrel of mustard when I shop at the wholesale clubs.
This might be reasonable if you want to do something silly, like cook things that destroy pans, and require you to discard the pan after.
Unfortunately, I am not a maniac in that specific bent.
Therefore, I do not need 12 fucking skillets.
Great. “Skillet” just became syllables and lost all meaning. I hope you’re happy.
@EvilSmoo Meh just did for the word “skillet” what Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson) did for the word “motherfucker.”
But just think how long you could go without washing any skillets? Buy some paper plates and you are set for about 2 weeks!
Is there a need for many skillets when someone cooks meth? I don’t remember that from the Breaking Bad documentary.
Otherwise, I’m at a loss for the mehga pancount.
this says…
$337 Total (for 12 upgrade models) at Amazon
Four 8" | Four 10" | Four 12"
so UPGRADE MODELS?
that means different pans right?
what is the comparison to these actual pans?
still less than 10 bucks a pan, pretty cheap for skillets.
but why not put the true comparison of these actual pans???
shaking head…
@mick Because we couldn’t find an exact comp online. Should have said similar instead of “upgrade.”
@mick @moofi Um, but then why did you say upgrade? Like, you shoulda said “similar”, but you coulda said “plasmodium”, yet you actually said “upgrade”.
/giphy pourquoi
@mick @stinks The website is called meh.com, what do you expect?
@mick @moofi I guess calling the Amazon comparison pans “upgrade” is an obtuse way of saying “superior”.
But I guess “$337 for superior @ Amazon” would would make it completely obvious that your comparison isn’t a comparison at all…
I guess the real question we all need to answer is that if you DID need 12 nonstick pans with a limited lifetime warranty AND be dishwasher safe, would you rather pay $337 or $96…
@moofi Great upgrade. Thank you.
/giphy upgrade
@moofi Jackie Treehorn treats objects like women, man.
That’s way too many skillets. Unless you open a restaurant? Or need something different as targets for your brand new hipster gun range?
You people at Meh offered this ridiculous amount of cookware just before Valentine’s only to cause PANdemonium on this forum.
Well, here are your silly comments…
Skillets? Damn, I was in the market for 12 Frying Pans.
I don’t have time to read all the comments, but has anyone mentioned that this is an excessive number of skillets?
@daleyshow Only an excessive number of times.
$5 Shipping makes this an incredible deal - said no one.
@phelmurh Wait, I just did.

What is the nonstick coating? The specs only tell us what it isn’t.
it also warns us that it can’t handle
If it gets too hot, does it kill birds with toxic gas like a Teflon coated pan?
If lemon detergent is bad, what about cooking with lemon juice?
@hamjudo After all that you’re still looking to buy these?? lol - why?
These things clearly sound like they’re going to disintegrate if used on anything hotter than a can of Sterno…
@hamjudo You can buy a very nice steel or several cast iron pans for this price that will last a lot longer than these pans combined
@hamjudo it says only safe in the oven for 20 min at 350 my guess is that is due to the handle not the pan itself. Besides who the hell puts skillets in the oven?
@hamjudo @zacks I put my skillet in the oven often. Best way to cook chicken breast. Sear it on the stove and then chuck it in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes.
@RiotDemon Well this is your pan then because you can do 350 degrees at 20 min!!!
@RiotDemon @zacks but is the 20 minutes all at once or cumulative?
@zacks @RiotDemon It’s also the best way to make cornbread. Cook some bacon in a skillet (usually cast iron). Consume the bacon. Use the grease as part of the cornbread batter. Pour batter into the bacon-greased skillet. Put the skillet in the oven.
@Pufferfishy @moor783 I have no intention of buying these. I was just curious about the non stick coating.

This might be the dumbest Meh offer ever.
Somewhere Rapunzel is putting together a posse. And we ask ourselves “exactly how many skillets does someone need to make themselves feel safe?”

@Sardinicus These are not the durable skillets you want anyway.
