I think I would be afraid to use them. That might be a good way to get gold poisoning.

Even the $1,000 that she was willing to pay seems pretty steep to me. On 1/2/10, Kim Friedman <kimfri11@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:$2000 for pots and pans? What are they made of? Solid gold? That's ridiculous. I don't disbelieve what you say, it's just mind-boggling that cookware should cost that much.

Sent: Saturday, January 02, 2010 6:55 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: OT Pots I'm going to wave a red flag of caution concerning Royal Prestige pots. They're made by a company called "Hy Cite" which is headquartered here in Wisconsin. Sadly, I think the company has changed drastically over the years since when Valerie purchased her super cookware. I heard about thisbecause of living here in Wisconsin, and it was a big deal because it is aWisconsin-based company. The California attorney general successfully sued them in2008/2009 for unsavory business practices. He (Attorney General Edmund G.Brown Jr). said (quote): ""Hy Cite hoodwinked hundreds of consumers into purchasing high-priced pots and pans by using deceptive in-home demonstrations and scare tactics." From an article on the Attorney General's website: "Brown's officeinvestigated Hy Cite and found that the company violated the state's unfaircompetition and false advertising laws, as well as a previous injunction prohibiting such practices." (url: http://www.jerrybrown.org/node/579 ) There's more information about this recent case on California's official website ( do a search on "Hy Cite" on the Attorney General's page at http://search.doj.ca.gov/AGSearch/search ), or, for example, at the Los Angeles County website ( http://dca.lacounty.gov/artRPSettlement.htm ). The pans are very expensive nowadays, running from $2000 to $4,500 for a set, and consumer sites list a lot of complaints about how the quality ofthe products consumers receive after ordering is nothing like the quality ofthe products that they are shown in the demonstrations. So just a "for what it's worth" caution. smile. Judy s.
