$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. Regards, Kim.

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 this
because of living here in Wisconsin, and it was a big deal because it is a
Wisconsin-based company.
The California attorney general successfully sued them in
2008/2009 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 office
investigated Hy Cite and found that the company violated the state's unfair
competition 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 of
the products consumers receive after ordering is nothing like the quality of
the products that they are shown in the demonstrations.
So just a "for what it's worth" caution. smile.
