I have one his small sauce pots, and its pretty good, so I did not mind getting another one of his products. His brand of Honey Mustard is also pretty good, especially when its priced at $1.50. Maybe those customers just had a defective product?

You're not going to find a decent frying pan 10-inches and over unless you go to Ikea. Fulton street, 86th street - all have decent frying pans over $10.00. The Emeril that I got is better quality that that no-name Chinese shit from 86th Street for $12.00. Emeril Lagasse himself served me some of his chocolate-dipped strawberries once.
