So what am I supposed to do with my Paula Deen cookware set?

[snooper2]

That shit wasn't cheap



12-piece set of nonstick cookware in charcoal, includes 1-, 2- and 3-quart covered saucepans, 8-quart covered stockpot, 8- and 10-inch nonstick skillets, slotted turner, slotted spoon
Professional stainless steel construction and thick aluminum disk base with a full cap of gleaming, quick heating copper
Rubberized handle for a cool touch; copper-plated ring for convenient hanging
Tempered glass lids lock in flavors and provide easy monitoring of cooking progress
Oven safe to 350 degrees F; hand wash only

1. Continue using it but omit butter and 'N words' from all recipes n/t

[bunnies]

7. lol!

toss your oodles with pine uts and add utmeg to taste. Garnish with aval oranges.

[Puzzledtraveller]

20. ^^this^^

Or send it to me, I'm already on a butter and nackers free diet.

[Jazzgirl]

2. Um... I don't think you have to resupply your kitchen because of Paula's mouth.

I doubt I'd buy any more but I certainly wouldn't throw a perfectly good set of pans away.

[snooper2]

15. We usually only bust it out during the holidays, big meals

Everything is hand wash only

Hopefully Gordon Ramsay doesn't do something stupid because my wife was wanting some new pans as our cheapy Target ones kept warping. It was like $40 for two

[Warpy]

28. Ramsay's the biggest garbage mouth on TV

but it's directed at bad food and incompetent chefs, not entire groups of people he doesn't know.

You have to make him puke bad seafood in an alley to deserve his very best torrents of profanity.

As for Deen's cookware, she had nothing to do with it but signing an advertising contract for it. Nobody ever checks the name on your cookware when it's full of hot food, anyway.

[dlwickham]

30. I was going to say that the man comes across as batshit crazy

I wouldn't buy anything with his name on it

[bighart]

37. Well you might be interested in this:

"Some of the former staffers of Gordon Ramsay's Fat Cow restaurant have reached their boiling point.
The controversial British chef and star of TV's "Hell's Kitchen," "MasterChef," "Kitchen Nightmares," and "Hotel Hell" has found himself a part of a new class-action lawsuit, Yahoo! TV has confirmed.
on June 13 by four former hourly employees at Fat Cow, the culinary artist's eatery at the Grove shopping and entertainment complex in Los Angeles, against Gordon Ramsay Los Angeles LP, the Fat Cow LLC, and FCLA LP. The plaintiffs ― Jennifer Becerra, Montinique Dever, Andrea Bourke, and Lauren Benge ― allege that the restaurant stiffed them of minimum hourly wages and overtime pay, failed to provide break times for meals and rest, and didn't pay them in a timely manner, among other violations."

4. What am I going to do with 10 white dinner jackets and ten black bowties?

As for the dinnerware, put it in the servant quarters.

[SoCalDem]

5. Use it.. Paula did not "make it".. Probably underpaid workers somewhere worked very hard

making it, and Paula spent the royalty checks long ago..

I never liked her.. there was always something insidiously creepy about her..

That whole super-sweetie pie thing does not work on me

[Warpy]

29. I found her quite typical

of the sugar coated strychnine southern hostess.

I did not like living in the south. I am glad I left. I don't dislike southerners, I just can't cope with the culture.

[Thinkingabout]

6. Do the same this month as you did last month, apparently you did not die from using

It before and it will not kill you now.

[randome]

8. Gather all the pieces together on the counter then call them bad names. That should do it.

[bluedigger]

9. Call it the snooper2 cookware set and keep using it. n/t

[HappyMe]

10. Keep using it.

Just give them the stink eye once in awhile.

[FarCenter]

11. Buying cookware because it has been endorsed by a TV personality is a bad idea.

[QC]

12. You could whip up a big batch of Klan Chowder in that stockpot. n/t

[dlwickham]

31. I think that is DUzy worthy

I'm sorry but I had to laugh at that

[Fire Walk With Me]

36. I've laughed as well; I'm a bad person...

[dlwickham]

46. we'll go to hell together

[riqster]

41. Or cook only Nawlins style "blackened" dishes.

[Sissyk]

13. Start calling it

Rachel Ray cookware.

[Bay Boy]

14. I corrected the ad copy...

...Rubberized handle for a cool touch; copper-plated ring for convenient hanging
Tempered glass lids lock in flavors and provide easy monitoring of cooking progress
Oven safe to 350 degrees F; whites only

[WovenGems]

24. Jeepers

I would have never ever guessed "whites only"

[quinnox]

16. stick it in the garage next to your play doh one

keep it organized that way.

[Dash87]

17. I wouldn't worry about it. They just slap their names on that stuff.

They have nothing to do with it.

[arely staircase]

18. throw it away

or you are a total racist.

[WovenGems]

19. An Idea

Paint a picture of Paula on one side of each pan and Aunt Jemima on the other. This was when the cooking set is passed down the great grandkids will go "WTF!!!!"

[FSogol]

21. Civil War Reenactments?

[backwoodsbob]

22. use it of course

why would you do otherwise?

[opiate69]

23. Don't give it to Goodwill!!

[11 Bravo]

25. The same thing people do with their Volkswagens. Use them for their intended purchase.

[still_one]

26. Give it to your republican friends, or send it back to her demanding a refund

[southernyankeebelle]

27. Use it. The cookware had nothing to do with calling anyone names. On the other

hand if you don't want to use it why don't you give it to one of those soup kitchens or Goodwill and they can sell it.

[The Straight Story]

32. And yet people think assholes like Gordon Ramsay are cute

And tune into his show just to watch him denigrate others and put them down.

Folks should live in my hood where you hear the N word everyday and people call each other 'nigga', 'homey', etc and crank up music that says a lot more than that.

[The Link]

33. What does that have to do with Deen using the n-word?

Are these white people in your neighborhood using that term?

[The Straight Story]

35. Both white and black

And what it has to do with it (deen): I just find it ironic that people think her having used the word before makes her an awful person (no matter the context she may have used it in) but are perfectly fine with others intentionally degrading people and cheering them on and tuning in to just see that aspect of the show.

We will watch people made fun of and humiliated on the one hand, and on the other get outraged by something we have not seen.

[RebelOne]

38. I like Gordon Ramsey despite his potty mouth,

and he may use the "F" word a lot, I have never heard his use the "N" word.

[premium]

34. Well, unless your cookware is trying to turn you into a racist,

keep on cooking with it.
Looks like a really nice set of cookware.

[RebelOne]

39. And you can bank on it that her cookwear

will end up in Big Lots at heavily discounted prices.

[premium]

40. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I think her career with the Food Network is done with, she seems to be going down in flames.

[Cleita]

43. Apparently she's worth about a half a billion, so even if there are flames, she

can still indulge in all the butter and plantation life she likes while she sinks into obscurity.

[premium]

44. As long as she sinks into obscurity,

she can indulge all she wants. I hope I never have to hear from her again.

[Rex]

42. I dunno, has it tried to denigrate anyone yet?

Cook with it?

[pipi_k]

45. Well...

If you catch the pot calling the kettle black, kick it to the curb

[dlwickham]

47. another DUzy worthy comment
