Are pots and pans microwave safe?
In general, non-microwave-safe cookware is non-microwave-safe not because of any toxic compounds or fumes the cookware may emit during cooking, but because the material used to make the pot cannot withstand the high temperatures caused by the microwaves. If you've ever microwaved an antique dish or plate, for example, you know it can get really hot. Over time, this weakens many pieces, and the piece (bowl, cup, plate, whatever) will crack sooner than if you'd not used it in the microwave. Plus, it'll burn you when you take it out of the microwave.
In addition, dishware with metallic trim (gold or platinum) can emit sparks in the trim area, which is not good for both the plate and the microwave oven itself.
Why are mud pots sometimes called paint pots?
Because paint pots are basically made out of mud or clay and then you paint them once they harden.
Because sandpaper is an abrasive and will leave minute scratches. Any surface damage from scratches could lead to rust.

How do you care for Wolfgang Puck cookware?
- Use a potholder, towel or oven mitt at all times.
- Do not allow foods with high chloride (ex. salt) or acidic (ex. tomatoes) contents to remain in cookware after use.
- Do not let food or liquids exceed the rivet line on your cookware.
- Cookware is dishwasher safe, however hand washing is recommended. To clean simply use warm water, mild dishwashing soap, and a soft sponge or nylon pad. Dry thoroughly.
- Use stainless steel cleaners to remove stubborn stains from your cookware, such as Wolfgang Puck Bistro Stainless Steel Cleaning Set, Bon Ami®, Cameo® or Bar Keeper's Friend.
- Never let your cookware boil dry. If this occurs, do not attempt to move or remove cookware from cooking surface until cookware has completly cooled. Your cookware is oven safe to 400°f (350°f with cookware lid). Never leave an empty piece of cookware on a hot burner or in a hot oven unattended; this can damage both your cookware and your stovetop. The handles of your cookware will get hot when placed in the oven or if the handle is left over a hot burner. Use a potholder or oven mitt at all times. Do not heat nonstick cookware when your pans are empty; this may cause fumes, which are harmful.

It's important to avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, which can cause cracking. Additionally, ensure the bottom of the cookware is clean to prevent scratching the stove's surface. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for best results.
Which should I buy the Paula Deen cookware or the food network cookware sold at kohl's?
I don't know why your choices would be limited to those two--there are lots of good pots and pans available at lots of different stores and online sources. My personal preference is to avoid buying large sets of cookware. They're virtually guaranteed to include things you don't need. I also avoid pans designed to last forever. A few good but inexpensive pieces which you won't mind replacing when they inevitably wear out are better than blowing hundreds of dollars on a large set that will seem like a tragedy when they get scratched.
