it says "charcoal" is that the outside color or is it stainless steel? also do all the pots and pans have copper bottoms?

If the pans you are inquiring about are the same in the photo on the stainless steel 12 piece cookware set then the outside is stainless and the bottom is copper.

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.

I purchased this set 2/18/12; it is stainless steel and all of the pots/pans have copper bottoms.

Each pot and pan is entirely stainless steel and all have copper bottoms. The skillets have a non-stick coating (black). I have this set and I love them with the exception of having to hand-wash them. They are not dishwasher safe. Despite following package insert about caring for the copper--the bottoms are no longer the pretty, shiny surfaces they were when they were new.

Sorry for the delay in response to your question. I don't believe the pot will turn green because I believe the description said it was not actually copper, but was made to appear that way. I think it is made out of steel, so rust would be more of a concern. So far, mine has kept it's original appearance over the three months it has been out in the weather. Hope this helps.

the cheaper one has stainless steel-aluminum-stainless steel on the bottom. the sides are stainless steel like a lot of traditional pots. The more expensive one has the 3 layers on the bottom and on the sides to conduct heat even more.3 layers on all sides also makes them tough for dent and abuse resistance in a commercial setting.

The color shade is well-represented by the picture on the Amazon site. I would not say that the actual pot is lighter or darker.

It's stainless steel as well. It's just not as heavy or well built as the older Cuisinart I had. My old unit had a stainless coated copper disc on the bottom and the new one either eliminated that feature or made it a lot thinner.

From the support box down to the stove, its black. The top pieces that are exposed to the roof and outside are stainless I believe.

As it seems everything is nowadays, it's made in China, so I'm assuming the materials are Chinese as well. It has a porcelain pot and the majority of everything else is copper. We do love ours. It works very well and is very cosmetically appealing.

It is flat black on the outside, which is the cast iron part. The inside is enameled making it glossy black. It really is a great teapot, and pours nicely. Hope this helps you out.

The inside, bottoms and lower sides are stainless steel. It is encased in black plastic so the outside and rim of the inside are black plastic.

Outside bottom is smooth black with copper rings. Inside bottom is smooth black with a grey sort of chicken wire pattern and a heat sensor in the center.

I believe it is 100% stainless steel. It does not appear to have two different metals; one for the outside and one for the inside. By the way, we enjoy our Cuisinart roasting pan.

Also, I have been very happy with my cookware. While the copper on the side does seem questionable, the weighted bottom of the pots and pans cook very evenly and well and I find them good quality. I clean them with Bar Keepers Friend and I put paper towels between each pot to protect them from scraping when in the cupboard.

Hi Ray, the bottoms are solid thick stainless steel. Circulon has many varieties (different styles/names) and not all are as solid as the Infinite Circulon and the Symmetry. I personally have the Infinite set and couldn't be a happier. I have used a few pieces of the Symmetry. They each have their pros/cons and it ends up being a personal choice. Another set to look at would be the Anolon Nouvelle Copper. It is NOT for induction cooking but they are made by the same company (Meyer) as Circulon and have the solid bases that I like. Good luck!Wade

No they do not have silver looking bottoms. Only thing silver are the handles and trim on the lids. I love my set. Best cookware I've ever owned.
