Are the extenders flat or shiny black finish? What about the one comment that they melted to the stove and were hard to remove for cleaning?

If you look at the comments from 2011 & 2012, you will see if there are problems with this product. On the other hand, if you look at the comments made in the past year or so, the product is perfect, suddenly. You have to wonder if these are true reviews or those manufactured by the manufacturer. Possibly, they changed the material of the product itself and improved it. I found another product that works well and has given me no problems. http://www.rangekleen.com/index.php?cPath=13_315

They could pass for flat black. They are actually what designers of today call Oil Rubbed Bronze.Thanks, Victor

These are a standard "d" shaped fitting and fit my stove perfectly. I checked on GE's website for my stove and its replacement parts. Rediculous prices for these!! Saw what they were and ordered these. They fit perfectly. I didn't have any numbers on the knobs on my GE Profile free standing gas range with warming drawer. Good luck.

Mine were stainless on outside and as I recall they all had copper bottoms. I gave them away after about a month because I didn't like them at all. It said non-stick; however, only the skillets were non-stick. Also, if took FOREVER for them to heat up and boil anything, even on high setting. I ordered some Cooks Essentials from QVC (which I had for years previously), and I'm very pleased with them. I was hoping to save money by purchasing Paula Deen set but that was a mistake. Hope this helps--sorry.

Cleaning is the same as other brands of stainless cookware that I have. I use them with an induction cooktop and they work very well.

I have a Samsung glass top slide in stove that I use these on. They have a smooth bottom so they won't scratch the top. I love this set. It cooks evenly and while you will get some sticking like with scrambled eggs etc they are easy to clean. Soak them in hot water for a few minutes then use a sponge for stainless Steele so you don't scratch the surface and a little bit of Bar Keepers Friend and they clean spotless and quickly.

When mine arrived, they had a gloss, shiny paint finish, but this is irrelevant as the gloss goes away the first time you cook on the grill. I do not see the "gloss" as either a plus or a minus in evaluating the item---which has proven totally successful and satisfactory.

They are black. Flat tipped. About inch and 3 inch screws. The one inch are just short really so get them a little longer since u can.

I don't know, because I have a gas stove. They work great on my stove and I still love this set! Don't forget the stainless steel scrubby to clean with. Just soak pots/pans in soapy water for a few minutes and cooked-on food comes right off.

They sure are, and work very well. The only issue I have is that they "squeal". I have a GE Profile induction cooktop, but that really shouldn't make any difference. I can hear the cookware, it's like a high pitched buzz, or squeal. It's not really that loud or obnoxious, but it is strange the first time you hear it! The pans are super durable, the non-stick is holding up well, and they heat evenly and quickly. A great deal in my opinion!

The teflon coating on my unit's burner has also mostly disappeared. I know it's strictly a cosmetic issue, but it's still aggravating and ugly to look at nonetheless.

They get real hot. We have a Wolfe Stove and a commercial stainless steel hood, where we use them, so it doesn't matter to us. But deepening on where you put them, I guess it ound be ignificant. They are very hard to find.

. They are aluminum Teflon coated with nice plastic lifting knobs when they are hot. good thick bottom on pan . Very good unit I use butter, pam shortens the life of the teflon

Unfortunately, I can't help you. There were no instructions for use or care provided with the cookware. I tried to get info from manufacturer/seller with no luck. I can tell you that I love them. I have a gas stove with open flames and I use them just as I did my other cookware with no problems or concerns. They cook evenly and clean easily.

Thanks, Randy. I'm glad to hear this because I just ordered a set from Amazon! Some anodized cookware has circular rings on the bottom that are very rough and would damage the glasstop burners. I'm glad to hear these are okay!

Hi. They look to be cast iron, not enamel. As my review indicates, we have had some trouble with this, particularly with technical support. The burners don't always light and stay lit. The oven is great but the fan can stay on forever after cooking at high temps. Sometimes I have to flip the breaker to turn it off. On the plus side, it looks great and is easy to clean.
