I'm not sure what crack the other reviewers have been smoking, or if this seller has been sending them the wrong pans . . . The only official retailers in the US are:

. HSN from their airing and their website.

. Target Stores.

. Crate & Barrel.

. Frontgate Catalog house.

That's direct from GreenPan. I got mine at Target and loved it so much I bought the rest of the set. Nothing sticks to them, and I mean nothing. I've burnt eggs on it just for the fun of it and it comes off with water and a little finger rubbing. This is the only dish I don't throw through the dishwasher simply because it's just too easy to clean.

And let me add, I'm no expect at non-stick pan cleaning. I'm used to cast iron pans. After a year of daily cooking and cleaning this pan doesn't show any scratches. So bottom line, these pans do as they promise. Perhaps they should be bought from official outlets to ensure you're actually getting the right product. Otherwise, you won't regret buying these pans. I haven't.

For their official site.

i have the 12 inch stainless steel version which i got for christmas. 4 months later and the non-stick aspect has essentially failed. the coating is still in tact, but many things, tofu in particular, are sticking to the surface. we have had non-stick pans in the past, and all but the cheapest the surface held up well. We were not novices to the care of this stuff. We were excited about this one with the non-PFOA coating. It worked great at the start, but quickly declined. Our use of a nylon scrubby when stuff started to stick appears to have hastened its demise. Still, for a viable option these things need to be more robust. An average stainless steel skillet works better at this point. Sad.

We've been using this pan for a couple of months. I must say that this pan has not performed up to the same standards as some of the other reviewers, and yet not as poorly as the rest.

We own all kinds of pans, le crueset, all clad, teflon (now discarded), cast iron, traditional carbon steel woks. We love them all. The greenPan I must say I'm on the fence about. We purchased this to make eggs, nothing cooks eggs like teflon, it just glides off. We decided to replace our teflon pan when the handle broke and looked for something environmentally friendly.

We do some light sauteing in this pan, and veggies and bits of meat are fine in this. but when we cook eggs....it needs more oil and it definitely sticks. Not horribly, but it does stick, bits of egg are left behind when i remove the egg when using a half teaspoon of oil and spreading it out with a brush. Infact, I think my le crueset pans perform on par if not better, but they are too heavy to flip omelettes. I'm confused by a reviewer who said that their eggs just slide off even without any oil. That's definitely not the case here.

However, it does clean up easily. While i can fry the same egg in an All Clad with sufficient oil, but where this pan excels is the clean up. Despite fried rice bits and egg stuck on the surface, with hot water and some soap it cleans up beautifully. For that I'll give it 3 stars despite it not being fully non-stick.

Honest reviews on GreenPan Stockholm Skillet - 9½" - Non-stick

Purchased this pan in early December 12' from a Target store. I noticed within about 2 weeks that the performance of the "non-stick" was noticeably less impressive. I've managed by adding more oil while cooking. Now, a small hole where the handle joins the pan took in water while washing and nearly burned me when I went to grab the pan and boiling water came squirting out. I will try and return to Target as it's under the 90 days. I would stay away from this pan as a solution for non-stick performance.

I have a 13 piece set and love it, the finish holds up well and with a tiny amount of PAM it is completely non stick, clean up is a breeze, I get compliments on my beautiful cookware all the time. I have a set of Allclad cookware that I hardly ever use since I got the Greenpans ,I am very satisfied with them and would recommend them to anyone.

List Price: $44.99

I thought the bar bearing the weight would be made of metal, but it's only painted wood. It's actually composed of two wooden rails held together at both ends. The metal hooks onto which one hangs the pots are dropped into the space between the rails, relying on gravity to keep it stable. This way, I can slide the hooks to any position on the rail and add additional hooks as I get more pots. The hooks can also be rotated while in the rails so you can position the pots to face out, or to 'nest' together.

The chains that come with the rack are ugly, but they're very easily substituted.

When I first went to college my parents gave me this pot rack to hang in my studio apartment, and I ended up using it for a total of 6 years before I moved somewhere that I couldn't hang it up. It held up astonishingly well for the entire time I used it, and I was so happy with it that I'm planning on buying another one for my new place (I think we passed the old one on to a different family member).

It's important to note that this is an entry level pot rack, and is suitable mainly for small to mid-sized pots and pans that don't weigh hundreds of pounds when put together. The only structural problem this pot rack has is that it is held together by a bolt at each end of it, and if weight isn't distributed relatively evenly across the length of the bar it has a tendency to bow towards the middle. While this bowing doesn't produce a gap large enough for any of the stationary hooks to fall out, the rotating hooks are actually made of two separate pieces, and it is possible for the rotating part to fall out of its cradle, dropping your pot and the hook onto the ground (and possibly your stove and/or head). It's extremely unlikely this will happen, and I never had any other problems with construction, but it is worth noting. Also, I had the one with a natural wood finish, and it's entirely possible this is not a problem if you buy the chrome version, which I'm assuming is made entirely out of metal. The hooks themselves are all metal, and as others have noted are quite expensive to buy separately, so think about that and count the number of hooks it comes with before making your purchase.

I think the price is really good for the product you're getting. It's a horizontal bar as opposed to one of the round or oval options, meaning it takes up less real estate than a pot rack usually does, and it's ceiling mounted rather than wall mounted, which allows you to more easily adjust the height of it. Also, if you dislike the hooks it comes with, just go to a hardware store and buy two even lengths of chain for a few dollars and use those instead. I think the best thing I can say about it is that my old one lasted for years, and I intend to buy another. Is there any bigger sign of trust in a product that someone can give?

My husband and I installed this in front of our kitchen window right above the kitchen sink. It works great and we can hang our pots up to dry while they drip into the sink. It was easy to install and holds the weight of our Rachel Ray pots and pans just fine. It says the color is Charcoal Grey but it actually looks black which matches our black and white kitchen perfectly. We use all the hooks that came with it and only needed to use 2 links for length. I recommend this definitely and hope this review helps.

This product arrived and appeared to be intact, but when I went to install it I noticed that the wood was split. It appeared as though this wasn't picked up during production and that the item was painted after the split occurred.

Upon further evaluation it was clear that the wood was inferior and not durable enough for the intended application. We ended up purchasing oak scrap and remaking the piece. The oak cost $2.00.

This rack came with the chrome option and is a very sturdy, high quality rack. Maybe just the wood ones are crap, but I really love it. I have 4 All-Clad saute pans and skillets and 2 All-Clad pots hanging from it (very heavy) and it is under no strain whatsoever. Great product for limited space.

This is a round-bottomed carbon steel wok that isn't designed for flat surfaces. If you have a gas range with a wok ring or fairly open burner cover and are looking to approximate the very high cooking temperatures of a restaurant, this works well. You may think you'll be able to use this on an electric cooktop if you find a "wok ring" for that, but you're wasting your time, since you won't get the heat transfer or stability. This wok needs to be sitting in open flame, and once you've seasoned it and used it a few times, it'll work great. It will also begin quickly to turn dark brown into black, which is normal. That's the whole point.

It's pretty much as advertised. It's a wok made of carbon steel, that arrives coated with inedible oil that you need to remove with hot soapy water. Wash it well after receipt (several times, since the coating machine oil is everywhere), rinse well, and set over a high flame. When the water has evaporated, add a little cooking oil (peanut or canola or something that's appropriate for high temperature), wipe the oil around the inner part of the cooking surface, and turn the heat up high. Expect smoke. Once you've used it a few times, the residual oil on the surface will continue to smoke, and over time the wok will start to darken.

If you've ever seasoned a cast iron pan, this is similar. Basically, you want to heat this thing as high as you can get it with some oil on the cooking surface, and as you do so, the oil will smoke quite a bit, but the more you season it, the more non-stick it'll become. Use protection, but swish the oil around while doing this part, and angle the wok several times to blacken the surface.

You can do the seasoning of the wok (after washing off the oil it's coated with upon receipt) on an outdoor grill if you can't handle the smoke inside.

But, again, if you're intending to put this on a flat surface, like an electric stove, you don't want this, and you shouldn't even try.

I used to encounter difficulty mixing all the ingredients needed for the food I was preparing due to lack of space (I had 2 woks before this) but after using this capacious wok, that experience is now a thing of the past. This 18 inch round bottom wok is so superior in quality as long as you follow the proper way of seasoning prior to using it the 1st time. I searched the internet on the best way to do it. After the initial seasoning required for woks made of steel, mine is now a non stick one. I just recently purchased mine but I used it already a number of times and I am very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend it

This little pot is exactly what I wanted and needed. Even though it was smaller than my old pot, I use it almost everyday. It is so very light that I can lift it even when full w/o effort. The non-stick surface is amazing. It even cleaned up easily when I over reheated some tomato sauce. I haven't had it long enough to know if the surface will last, but at this price, if it only lasts a few years I won't be disappointed. I recommend this highly and plan to buy the next size up for bigger things.

** This review has been edited ** I now give the product 5 stars (stupidly, Amazon doesn't allow changing the rating when editing).

Originally I wrote a bad review indicating the unit eats batteries. We didn't use it frequently and every time we did, the batteries were dead.

About a day after I submitted the review, Bill from EatSmart Products emailed me indicating he had seen the review and short battery life is not typical of the product (he stated they should last ~1 year). With no prompting from me, he sent out a new scale along with some batteries to replace the ones the original scale consumed. Although it hasn't been very long, so far the batteries in the new unit are holding up well.

So as I stated above, I now give this scale a 5-star rating due not only to its good performance, but the great customer service from the manufacturer!

I would prefer to write this review after some time has passed, but I want to make sure I get my thoughts out here early on.

This is my third kitchen scale. I bake all my own bread at home and good baking requires weighing the ingredients rather than volume measuring.

This scale feels very light which made me nervous at first, but I've used it for three weeks now, through a lot of baking over the holidays, and my concerns seem out of line.

This scale fits all my needs. Here is what I look for:

1. CAPACITY AT LEAST 10 LB (this has 11 lb, or 5 kg). This is required to be able to tare out a glass bowl which can weigh near 5 lbs empty. 11 lb is still borderline when I'm making bread in a 6 qt kitchenaid bowl, but I just weigh ingredients separately in another bowl if it becomes a problem.

2. PRECISION DOWN TO 1 GRAM Another scale I have was only good to 5 grams and, although this was probably good enough, it drove me nuts not to be able to go down to 1 gram

3. STABLE PLATFORM FOR VESSELS -My previous scale had a platform that sat on top of a pillar and eventually came detached. After that it was a balancing act to weight anything

4. ORDINARY BATTERIES -I liked my old scales fine, but it drove me crazy that I had to keep buying overpriced CR2032 batteries for the things. These batteries don't last long and cost too much to replace. I can't figure out why they use these "button batteries" rather than the more common higher capacity AAA, AA, C, D, etc cells. It's not like these scales are micro-sized. In any event A BIG BIG PLUS for this scale is that it uses standard batteries! Don't sell this point short.

5. PRICE -$50, $30, $70 for a scale to do this is crazy. the circuitry in these things is cheap. It's not rocket science. All these scales that have "features" are a waste of money. This scale does what needs to be done for $20.

6. FEATURES -Zero the scale, read negative numbers, switch between metric and English weights, tare a bowl....that's it...that's all you need. All the rest of it is a waste of money and a further chance for failure. this does what is needed and no more.

7. EASY TO READ -big numbers. this scale is good....Not so good about this scale (and the ONLY problem I have so far) is that big bowls tend to cover the read out a little and make it hard to pick up the weight. So far it hasn't been a big deal, but it can be a slight annoyance.

BOTTOM LINE:

This scale gets 100% on items 1-6 and about 50% on item 7 for a 93% grade overall...enough for me to give it 5 out of 5 stars.

The only remaining unrated item is DURABILITY....I'll report back in a year. My old, $50 scale only lasted 3.5 years. I'm betting this one goes at least that long...plus I won't be forking over for new button batteries every month and a half.

EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale, White

I am no scale expert, but EatSmart has offered me a free book if I write a review of their scale, and this has prompted my review. I have only been using the scale for two weeks, but I haven't had any problems with it so far. My only nitpicks at this point are that the "white" color has a pinkish tone and that the buttons aren't perfectly even. Aside from these minor cosmetic issues, the scale is exactly what I expected: a functional, easy-to-use, accurate, inexpensive ($25), small, lightweight, plastic scale.

When making my scale purchase, I also considered buying the Escali Primo Digital Multifunctional Scale, Chrome. The only advantage that the Escali Scale has over the EatSmart Precision Pro Scale is that the Escali Scale has buttons that prevent food from getting into the cracks. In contrast, when using the EatSmart Scale, you have to be careful not to drop food in between the two buttons. For this reason, I put my scale in a plastic Ziploc bag (gallon size) to protect it from drippings and droppings this keeps it clean, and it still works great! In all other respects (except for the few noted below), the two scales seem to be very similar according to the product descriptions.

In the end I decided to purchase the EatSmart Scale over the Escali Scale because I preferred the EatSmart unit options. The EatSmart Scale allows you to switch back and fourth between four different unit modes: 0000 grams, 000.00 ounces, 00.000 pounds, and 00.000 kilograms (resolution: .05 ounces/1 gram). This requires pushing the right button once for each mode (for example, start on grams, then push once to get to ounces, then again to get to pounds, then a third time for kilograms). The EatSmart scale will remember the last unit-mode you chose, so you don't have to readjust every time. If you always use pounds, just leave it on pounds. When you return the next day and turn on your scale, it will still be on pounds.

In contrast, The Escali Scale only offers three unit options: 0000 grams, 000.00 ounces, and [00 lbs + 00.0 ounces]. I prefer the EatSmart Scale because it provides pounds with decimals (00.000 lbs) for me this is easier to deal with than [00 lbs + 00.0 ounces]. I frequently measure out meats, which are labeled in pounds with decimals (00.000 lbs) at most grocery stores. If I buy a pound of hamburger and want to divide it into three 1/3-pound portions (0.33 lbs), the EatSmart Scale makes it easy. I just measure out the 0.33 lb portions right there on the scale. With the Escali Scale, I would have to do some conversions to measure out my portions, because the Escali Scale will not measure out pounds in decimals. In some cases these conversions can be difficult without a calculator. The conversion required in this example would be:

(0.33 lbs/portion) * (16 ounces/lb) = 5.333 ounces/portion ---> Possible to do without a calculator, but not ideal.

Another EatSmart feature that I have found convenient is that you do not have to use the tare button. Simply place your empty bowl or plate on the scale BEFORE turning it on, then push the left button once to turn it on. It turns on very quickly and is zeroed-out upon starting up. Then you can add your ingredients to the plate without having to wait for the scale to tare! If you would rather use the tare button, that is easy as well. Simply push the left button to turn on the scale, then place your empty plate on the scale, push the left button a second time to "tare" the scale, wait for the scale to zero out, and then add your food items that you want to measure.

With its three-minute automatic shut-off feature, the scale gives you plenty of time to make your measurement before turning off. I haven't had it shut off on me yet in the middle of a measurement. It also allows you to shut it off manually by pushing the button on the left twice (you have to wait for it to zero out to 00.000 before pushing it the second time if it is at 00.003 when you go to push it the second time, it will just tare again to 00.000). The scale also seems to give its readings rather quickly so no problems there.

IN SUMMARY: The EatSmart Scale has three battery-conscious features: generous three-minute automatic shut-off, option to turn off manually, and ability to tare without actually spending time taring! It also uses standard AAA batteries which are easily replaceable. It offers four convenient unit modes: 0000 grams, 000.00 ounces, 00.000 pounds, and 00.000 kilograms. Overall a simple and functional scale without any bugs. I'm completely satisfied with my purchase I would buy it again!

I was online saw this scale for $25, saw the great reviews and bought it instantly! Some of the greatest features...

Size it is just the right size, it is flat and compact so it fits on the counter perfect.

Measurements I love that is measures in grams, ozs.. it makes weighing very accurate. It comes with this handy little book that lists almost all foods and gives the info in th USDA Calorie Factor. At first I was puzzled now I love it. I weigh most meat in oz. then you multiply the Cal factor by 28 (28 grams in an oz) then you have cal per oz.. it is very accurate. I did not know what 6 oz of chicken looked like..

Tare Function this is fabulous!! You just push the on button, put your plate/paper towel whatever on top push on/tare. It resets to zero, then measure your food..how easy is that!!

We measure EVERYTHING.. we are adjusting our diet and this scale has proved to be essential.

They kept coffee warm for hours. They were so easy to use and they created simplicity in a situation where stress could have taken over. If I could make one suggestion it would be that a stirring utensil be provided. I'm thinking something food safe and equivalent to a ball bearing in a spray paint can. Hot chocolate needs to be stirred periodically and shaking the air pot is not the solution, as we found out :) GREAT JOB, BUNN

These are the most amazing pots! I needed two for an outdoor birthday party in February (Brrr!) and they kept the hot cocoa HOT. The cocoa was made around 11:30-12, the party was 1-3, there was a bunch of cocoa left, brought it home, drank some throughout the evening, come 9 o'clock when it was time to clean them out there was still a bunch left over and it was still slightly steaming. Not as hot anymore, but come on! 9 hours later and still warm/hot?! That's awesome! They look really nice too! Best purchase! I LOVE Bunn! Oh, and it's stainless steel, which was a huge plus for me!

PARTS:

To find Bunn's website for parts, you can use a search engine to find " coffeemakerbunn" or type it in as a website name. Amazon doesn't let you put website names in reviews.

Here you can order replacement parts for your airpot. You can replace entire lid assembly which holds the pump and baffle. Or you can replace the spout assembly that holds the downspout.

Just use the "search box" to find the parts you need. The website is outdated and a little difficult to navigate. For instance, there isn't a page that just has Airpot Replacement Parts that I could find. However, if you search for airpot lid Or airpot parts, you can find them. Use the search box.

---------------------

PROBLEMS SOLVED:

First problem fixed: This is my first airpot and I was upset that it took 10 to 12 pumps to fill an 10 oz coffee cup. I was on the verge of returning it, when I stumbled on the fact that the straw or down tube was not super tight inside of the spout assembly. It certainly seemed tight enough, but when I exerted a lot of force and really shoved it up in there super tight, my airpot suddenly filled a cup in only 3 pumps!

So if you are having to pump an excessive number of times, maybe try tightening up the down tube and the spout tube, in the spout assembly. The black plastic spout tube where the coffee comes out, has a tiny notch cut into it so that when you shove it on the spout assembly, you line the spout up correctly.

Second Problem: Metric System! haha This is a ONE GALLON Pot! 3.8L equals One Gallon

Third Problem: You will need to purchase a special cleaning brush to clean the 10 inch tall stainless down tube. You can get them on Amazon. They are often called water bottle brushes. They are narrow, long brushes that will clean things like this. Cheap enough, just didn't know I was going to need one when I ordered this.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PERFORMANCE:

Choosing a Size of Airpot is Up to You:

I think you should purchase the smallest sized airpot you need, because the airpot works best when full. Plus I would think it would keep the coffee hotter, if the whole container is full as opposed to half full.

I bought the largest one I could find, thinking that most of the time I wouldn't need to fill it up, but occasionally I might. Not understanding that you have to pump compressed air into the tank to force liquid up the down tube.

PUMP TEST:

My first 8 oz cup drawn takes 3 pumps. When the Airpot is 80% empty, it takes me 4 to 5 pumps to fill the same size cup. The Airpot becomes slightly less efficient the lower the coffee gets. But amazingly, it will push out almost every drop of the coffee.

After several uses, I did a test where I filled the Airpot only half full and when I pushed down on the lever, the coffee started flowing. I was surprised. It did not come gushing out like it does when full, but it worked on the first pump, even though it was only half full. The pump is very efficient and about as good as you could possibly hope for.

TEMPERATURE TEST:

I filled the Airpot with 128 oz coffee and measured temp.

Start: 170 degrees F

1 hour later: 163 degrees (no coffee pumped out, still full)

2 hour later: 156 degrees

6 hour later: 145 degrees

CONCLUSION

As far as picking a size, I am now noticing that many churches seem to go with 2 small airpots, versus one large one. That allows you to have decaf or flavors or addresses the issue of the airpot working best when completely full. Having it to do over again, I might would have gone with the 2 small airpots, instead of one giant one!

Honest reviews on BUNN 36725.0000 3.8-Liter Lever-Action Airpot, Stainless Steel

I was looking for a carafe that would enable me to make 2 pots of coffee ahead of time and keep it hot (not warm) and be easy for my guests to dispense. This has worked great. The coffee stays hot and it's easy to dispense. So far, the longest time I've tested the coffee heat is for 5 hours and it was great. My only issue with the pot is turning it upside down to drain is a 2-3 day process. Because of the way it's designed the water comes down to the top (turned upside down) and stays there. But I just leave it out and eventually it dries up. I have a long brush so cleaning is not a problem. There are some puzzling instructions about cleaning the 'bellows' with no indication where the bellows are or how to get to them I've contacted Bunn about that. Overall very pleased.

This Stainless Steel Pump Thermos is the best one I have ever seen in many years of using similar products.

Other thermos' don't hold as much, some are fragile glass, some have fragile levers or flimsy seals.

I have even bought a couple for friends !

Discount Emile Henry 10.75 Inch Oval Gratin Dishes

Customer Ratings:

I purchased Emile Henry before (dinnerware) and was looking into getting some new bakeware and decided to try out Emile Henry. I was not disappointed by any means. The first thing that I made was Gratin Dauphinois and it came out perfect. I also found out that this is a perfect dish for baking/broiling a steak after being seared. It is glazed inside so nothing sticks and does not retain smells. It is solid, so I have no fear of breaking it unless I drop it because it is clay. The sides are oval as is the entire dish so some cooking area may be lost, however, the baking area is 10.75" (L) by 8.5" (W). Great for using directly from the oven to the table because it maintains heat well keeping side dishes hot. The bottom is unglazed but when placed on the table, it is not visible. The purple (Figue) color is perfect and matches white bowls that I purchased. Another winner for Emile Henry.

I really love lime green, this set completes my kitchen, besides that are very durable, it comes with a great set of instruction to make sure you great pots and pans stay great. The top handle comes unscrewed some times however ever set I ever had has done that. Enjoy just remember Teflon is worth it if your take care of it.

Overall, it's a good product. The paint scratches fairly easily. Preferably, I would like to have a bit thicker pan though. I'll keep it.

First off I don't like the brand name switch. If the product is listed as Innova and I order Innova, I expect to receive Innova not Kinetic. The pan itself is good but the handle connection seems weak. I bought this to replace a pan with a broken handle (after much more than 25 years of use). I don't expect this pan's handle to last long. Hope the warranty service is decent.

Update: Six months use and the pan has split down the side. No reason for it I can think of except poor grade stainless. Normal use. Downgraded to 1 star.

The pan I purchased is very functional but it is not of high quality construction. I have had it only a year, paid the Amazon listed price, and now I find that the inside bottom of the pan is oxidizing and starting to show specks of the iron underneath the stainless steel. This means that now I can only use it for steaming vegetables and will no longer be able to submerge food items in water that touches the inside of the pan; i.e., I can no longer cook rice or soup in it. Very disappointing!

I received two sizes of this product and found them to be of high quality, heavier than I expected, not the cheap thin metal pots you might expect. I plan to purchase another 3 Qt. in the near future. I recommend this company's products, especially these pots.

Easy to use and clean. Nice and heavy and stands up well to whatever needs to be cooked. The handle is a bit cumbersome, but I still like it.
