Classic Non-Stick Cookset, 11-pc

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to formally complain about a serious and dangerous design issue with your Paderno pots.

The area where the handle attaches to the pot becomes extremely hot during normal use. I have now been burned three separate times, resulting in painful blistering burns. This is not a minor inconvenience — it is a safety hazard.

We are seniors, and this situation is especially concerning. I will absolutely not allow my frail husband to use these pots, as a burn or dropped pot could lead to severe injury. No reasonable consumer expects that special gloves normally reserved for handling molten lava would be required to safely lift a household cooking pot.

At no point was there any clear warning that the handle attachment point would reach dangerous temperatures or that extraordinary precautions were required. This is unacceptable and poses a real risk, particularly to older adults.

As a result, these pots are now being permanently retired from use.

I strongly urge Paderno to review this design flaw and address the safety risk before someone is seriously injured. At the very least, clear and prominent warnings should be provided to consumers.

I expect this concern to be taken seriously and look forward to your response.

i have 2 frying pan and i want 2 different size pots but they do not sell them separately. you should make them available. it is a shame because i love your product

Stainless steel Paderno pots were given to me as a gift for purchasing my stove. I loved them, so I went and purchased the burgundy non-stick set. I washed it before using and noticed the red was brushing onto my dishcloth. I didn't trust them after that. They're still in my cupboard and I'm afraid the non-stick coating will go in my food. The stainless steel pots are ideal. Guess that's best for me!

Washed 6x by hand. Still getting toxic ceramic material coming off.

I don't like to use non-stick pans but I bought one because it's Paderno, made in Canada. I bought the Canadian Signature stainless steel non-stick fry pan for $99. In less than one year the bottom of the pan has turned black and was sticking. I reached out to Paderno, they did not do anything just threw the Warranty book at me saying I cooked it on high heat so no warranty for that. I could have bought a non-stick pan made from countries that produce cheap products and get the same result. My daughter bought a non-stick pan from Ikea for half the price and it is still working well.
