I have been through four food processors in the last few years. The Hamilton Beach 70610 is my latest. Not only do I like it the best of any I have used, it is far less expensive than my last one. Prior to the Hamilton Beach 70610 I purchased the very highly rated (by Amazon reviews) Braun K650. I think the Braun is well made. And it is said to be a bargain compared to the Cuisinart and KitchenAid models that cost twice as much. I wanted to love the Braun. However, in my experience the Hamilton Beach 70610 tops the Braun in many critical areas. And the HB costs a small fraction as much as the Braun.

Advantages of the Hamilton Beach 70610:

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

1. Easier to clean than any other food processor I have seen.

2. Does a much better job chopping the vegetables I frequently use to the size I want them to be. I prepare a lot of leafy greens. Many food processors never get them right. One is left with either large unchopped pieces or, in another instant, a complete mush. This unit gives me a nice uniformly processed result that I can control. I do not tend to end up with a mush. BTW, the Braun was one of the worst food processors for leafy greens.

3. Processes small quantities well. Many food processors have a tendency to splatter the veggies to the sides of the container where they are not chopped. All food processors will do this to some degree. But the Hamilton Beach 70610 is the best of any food processor I have used at minimizing this issue. I was absolutely amazed at how well it chopped up a small bit of ginger, a single clove of garlic and a slice of onion. On this task it not only out-performed every other food processor I have used, it topped my more expensive Wolfgang Puck Variable-Speed Immersion Blender.

4. The slicer disk seems to have an almost magical ability to not suffer from the usual problem of food getting stuck on the top. My unit is still very new and the disk is very sharp, so we'll have to see if this great functioning continues. But even the highly rated Braun with a brand new slicer disk doesn't match the Hamilton Beach 70610 in this area. Today I dropped potatoes down the feed tube while the food processor was running. Even without using the pusher, the potatoes were completely sliced and nothing (absolutely nothing) was left on top of the slicer. I have never seen another food processor do this so well.

5. It has a clean, nicely styled look.

6. The 10-cup-capacity work bowl is effectively larger than competitors's 10-cup bowls because the center tube is taller.

7. It is not burdened by ridiculous, problematic breakage-prone safety devices on the lid. I thoroughly enjoy the simplicity of the lid. It twists easily into position and it provides the needed safety switch -without the hassle of most other modern food processors. Both the bowl and the lid must be locked in position before the motor will operate. But getting them into position is so easy and simple that other food processor designers should be embarrassed to produce the cumbersome designs they ship out. Even the high end KitchenAid and Cuisinart models could learn a lesson from the Hamilton Beach 70610. This unit proves that it is indeed possible to design a safe food processor that is also simple to use and is free from the fiddly little parts that tend to break off.

8. Good built quality. I would not expect it to be on a par with the Cuisinart and KitchenAid models (and I can't speak from experience), but it is a very close runner up to the Braun I owned. Some people feel the Braun is of superior quality to the Cuisinart and KitchenAid models, so maybe this model holds a higher position than I realize. Certainly it is far, far better quality than similarly priced competitors. And I am totally pleased with its build quality so far. It feels solid. It sounds solid. It looks nice. It doesn't give off funny odors or make strange sounds. It doesn't shake or rattle. The pieces all fit together nicely. It looks like it will last (time will tell).

9. The parts do not stain from processing colorful foods such as carrots quite as easily as other food processors. My other food processors, including the Braun, quickly stained. The plastic around the chopping blades and disks on the Braun stained after one use. This one isn't stain-proof, but it is better than average.

10. It is fast! It processes veggies in no time.

11. Fantastic price for what it delivers.

Disadvantages:

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

1. Only one slicer disk. It doubles as both a slicer and (by reversing it) a shredder. I would prefer a few more choices. I would not mind paying for the accessories because I saved a bunch of money with this purchase. I read that an optional crinkle cut/fine shredding disk is available separately. Unfortunately, I am not yet able to location any optional accessories for sale. I would like a course shredding blade. Maybe I will find some accessories if I keep looking. However, the high end models such as the Braun, KitchenAid or Cuisinart have a plethora of accessories. I'm sure this unit won't match the high end models in that regard, so if accessories are important to you, consider other options.

2. The feed tube is a bit narrower than competitors. This issue hasn't proven to be a problem for me. I mention it because it may be important to you. From another review, "The feed tube is 1.75x2.75 inches -not quite large enough to fit a whole cucumber, but certainly large enough for a half cucumber, several carrots or even a block of cheddar cheese."

Could go either way:

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

1. the suction feet. Some people seem to love them. I could take them or leave them.

The Hamilton Beach ChefPrep 500 Watt Food Processor 70610 simplifies basic food preparation with its super fast, efficient chopping, slicing and shredding capability.

Basic description partly copied from other sources:

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

Clean white styling with a single silver dial control with three settings: 1, 2 and P (pulse). The pulse setting keeps the power activated only as long as you hold the dial at the P setting. Very easy to use.

This model comes with a transparent work bowl, lid with feed tube and food pusher, stainless steel chopping/mixing blade, reversible slicing/shredding disc and motor base.

This is an excellent food processor. It has two speeds, plus pulse control so it allows for better precision when chopping. Some processors turn everything to puree, but with this one you have better control over how finely things are chopped. The grater/slicer disk produces very uniform pieces and is really fast! While running it's not too loud either. I highly recommend this processor, especially considering the reasonable price.

This is excellent with every processing task, and I compared it to both my KitchenAid and Braun models. The motor is very powerful, the design is simple, and all the parts are very easy to clean. Check your local WalMart if you have one closeby because this sells for only $34.96 there.

Honest reviews on Hamilton Beach 500-Watt Food Processor

This is a great food processor.

It really gets a workout from me.

I used it this Thanksgiving to mince onions, celery and carrots for my stuffing.

Since I've used it so much and it's still in ''brand new " shape, I definitely give it 5 stars.

Highly recommended.

I had just gone through about the 4th Cuisinart in my life when I decided it was time to change brands. I bought this one and am very happy with it. It slices and chops like no tomorrow. Faster than the Cuisinart at that and easy clean up. No cumbersome "safety features" to make you stop and try to reassemble the machine just when you want to chop a garlic clove! The switch has all the speeds you could possibly want and there is only one disk which makes for a lot less stuff to take care of. The feet are sucker cups which keep the machine firmly stuck to the counter when it's running.

There is only one thing wrong with this FP, and that is the shredding side of the disk leaves some food unshredded. A lump of whatever will ride around and not be processed at the end of the run. But, other than that, I love this machine. If I had it to decide again, I would still get this one.

I had TWO Zojirushi hot water dispensers. Both failed after less than 2 years on each. One was a manual pump and the other a 3L one touch. This SPT has everything that the Zojirushi units don't. Best of all, it is very inexpensive--about 1/2 the price! Here is my run down:

PROS:

-stainless steel tank: the non-stick on my zojirushi gradually deteriorates (in your water?) and actually sloughed off on one of my units making it useless. No such problem with stainless steel! Just descale it once a month and you are golden.

-pump: there is a safety button you press to unlock the unit and then you just press the dispense button. The water flow is so much stronger than either of my Zojirushi units--score another win for SPT.

-capacity: I went with a larger 5L size this time around. I drink a lot of french pressed coffee and also tea. Refilling a 3L unit was becoming an every 3 day affair and I just wanted to extend that a bit.

-water level display

-reboil feature: have it on 185 degrees but when I want it extra hot, I hit the reboil. Sure you can have it on the hottest setting all the time but that also means more energy.

-3 temperatures: unit will blink on selected temperature and will be a solid light when temperature is reached.

-easy to clean

CONS:

-large size means more energy wasted and also more time to reach desired temperature and even for the reboil. On the outside you can feel heat so there is definitely some heat loss that must be restored by the heating element. How much energy to keep this thing running 24/7? I wish I knew. I guess convenience has a cost.

Most of my experience with these kind of hot pots was with the Zojirushi brand, which is truly a great product thought admittedly quite expensive. The SPT pot is considerably less expensive and is a great alternative if you want to save money on the front end. Nevertheless, my rating comes in at 3 stars because the unit is very poorly insulated. It is hot to the touch on the outside. All that heat escaping into your kitchen has to come from somewhere, and it's not cheap. I'm exchanging for a Zojirushi to save that money in the long run (and get the small LCD Temp display to boot).

I ordered a 3.5 Liter hot water dispenser from SPT company for a friend. Within 6 months the product stopped working. It appeared to be an electrical problem. I was unable to contact the manufacturer by telephone, but was given an email address which I utilized to query as to repair or replacement. I never received an answer. My friend really enjoyed this item, and used the product daily while it worked, so I ordered another one, however, I increased the size to the 5 Liter model, hoping the size difference might prove to be an improvement. When my friend received the 5 Liter model and placed water in the dispenser, it immediately began leaking from the bottom of the dispenser. Since the product was just purchased, I contacted the seller (not the manufacturer) and the seller immediately replaced this new unit with another one, which worked dutifully for almost 11 months. Now, as of today, this product no longer works. It appears that there is another electrical problem. Since it has been 11 months, the seller is requiring me to contact the manufacturer, and they gave me a telephone number this time. So far I have been unable to get anyone to answer the telephone. I would not recommend this product to anyone, due to the quality of the product. If it worked, and worked for several years, it may be well worth the high price, but with problems in 3 of 3 products, it is my opinion that either there is absolutely no quality control in the manufacturing process, or the parts that are used are of such low quality that one may expect this product to fail within 6 to 12 months, every time.

Honest reviews on Spt 5-Liter Stainless with Multi-Temp Feature

We received the Spt 5 Liter pot and liked it so much that I am just ordering another one while I am logged on to my account. It has a nice stainless steel interior and holds the temperatures great. My only complaint is that everything is in English. There is not Japanese or Chinese labels on the pot and the directions must have been written by someone with English as a first language, because they are easy to understand. This was my only disappointment, no challenge deciphering humorous Asian instructions.

I would recommend this to anyone who used lots of hot water and wants it on demand. In addition to tea,the ideal temp for pour over coffee making is 192F-204F. The high temp setting of 208F on this pot pegs it perfectly. I selfishly bought this unit because I am a coffee drinker and my family are tea drinkers, so everyone in the family is happy.

========= Later =========

I just received my second SPT 5 Liter pot. It also works great out of the box. I love it. My wife loves it. Again I recommend the appliance.

I use this daily and love it. The only downside is if you run low on water, it can evaporate and the unit will shut off. Make sure you keep it full so this doesn't happen. Other wise this is perfect for all my tea needs.

I was hesitant to pay this much for a single skillet, but I decided to take a chance. I'm extremely happy with the purchase. The skillet is very thick and heats evenly. I use it mostly for cooking eggs & omelets. It's not coated with a non-stick material, but a small amount of butter or cooking spray goes a long way. The 8" skillet works well for 2-egg and small 3-egg omelets, but anything bigger would requite a larger skillet.

As far as I'm concerned, this skillet was worth the price. I don't think I could get a skillet as thick and even-heating for less money.

Every time I tried frying or sauteeing something with this pan, regardless of adding oil, the item sticks to the pan. I tried seasoning the pan and it doesn't matter. The curve of the pan is also awful for sauteeing items.

Not worth it at all.

Cheap Fagor 9-inch Silicon Gasket

Customer Ratings:

We recently used our 6 liter Fagor pressure cooker for the first time in over a year. It didn't pressurize too well, so I sought a new gasket. I wasn't sure what size to order since our original gasket was 9.5 inches, halfway between the two sizes available. Also it wasn't 100% clear whether the 6 liter cooker takes the same size gasket as the 6 quart. Anyway I am happy to report that the 9" gasket fits the 6 liter cooker just fine. For the record, the new 9" silicone gasket is actually about 9 5/8 inches in diameter. Also for the record, Fagor calls the material silicon, but it is actually silicone. I'm knocking off a star not because of the product, but because the sizing info could easily be made much clearer on both the Fagor website and on Amazon.

The problem with many pressure cookers is the rubber gaskets get hard, and then the cookers won't seal. The new one from Fagor is silicone, so it should last about forever. The original gasket was rubber, not silicone, so this is an improvement.

They send you a whitish silicon gasket, not the blue rubber one you see. this is good though becauyse the silicon one works much better. my cooker is used at least once a week. If you have not replaced the original rubber one do it!

Honest reviews on Fagor 9-inch Silicon Gasket

I have a combo set (4 quart and 8 quart with single lid) of fagor pressure cookers. Over the years the old gasket was worn out and I stopped using the pressure cookers. Recently I started cooking things that take forever to cook (meats with tough tendons) and wanted to use the cookers again. With Amazon, searching for gaskets was easy. The tough part was making sure the size of the gasket. When I first looked at all the online information, including Fagor's, it seems that the combo set would require 10" gaskets. Thank goodness for another reviewer somewhere on the web that provided the best way to determine size measure the inside diameter of your cooker! If the inside diameter is < 10", use 9". If > 10", use 10". In terms of performance, this silicon gasket works just as it should good. My only hope is this one lasts longer than the 2 years the old one did.

I've ordered two of these, one for me (silicone version) and one for my mother (rubber version). We are both EXTREMELY pleased with the results. We both screwed around with wiggling our pressure cooker lids trying to get the pressure going. We should've come here straightaway and bought the gasket.

We couldn't be happier -we are both huge pressure cooker fans and having a good gasket makes all the difference. I highly recommend this product.

This is a nice looking set, tight fitting lids. Great to see food through the clear lids. Bought this set and within a couple months of very light use, the pans became pitted and peeling. Never used anything abrasive or metal. Put in the dishwasher a few times but they are supposed to be dishwasher safe. After many phone calls and Cuisinart giving me a hard time about their "lifetime" warranty they finally agreed to let me ship them back (my own expense) for evaluation. They sent out what I was later told "a re-coating of my old pans". Well they looked new and now the lid doesn't fit on one of them. The pan obviously misshapen. Another call to Cuisinart...I will have to send the pan back again (at my own expense) and they will evaluate and send me...whatever (also at my expense). Crap product and crap warranty. Will never buy this brand of pan again.

We got this set of Cuisinart pans as a holiday gift more than 6 years ago, and they've proven to be quite the "warhorse" of cookware!

I'm not a chef by any means, but we do cook at home 4-5 times a week. I've avoided (mostly) using metal utensils; the sauce pans get used almost every day; the large skillet gets used the most.

They are finally starting to show a little wear and tear, but other than the large skillet no longer being truly non-stick, they are still working just fine.

Not sure about other reviews in the negatory; I think this is a lovely set for the money.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart 55-11 Advantage Non-Stick 11-Piece Cookware Set

I received this product on August 2nd 2013. Seemed to be working fine. Today I cooked some pancakes using the 3 qt. saucepan (probably the pan I use the most, perhaps twice weekly.) When I washed the pan (by hand I do not use a dishwasher, as instructed), I found that a large chunk of the outside finish had chipped off. These pans do not get banged. I cook for myself so I typically use only one pan at a time. The rest of my dishes go in the dishwasher so they don't get banged in the sink either.

56 days for the outside finish to last is just ridiculous. Amazon's return policy is no returns after 30 days so I am stuck with the entire set of pans. And I believe if the finish is bad on one pan the others probably wont last very long either.

I ABSOLUTELY WOULD LOOK ELSEWHERE TO BUY A SET OF PANS BASED ON THIS EXPERIENCE!!!

Reviews of Asian Origins Nonstick Carbon-Steel 8-Inch Stir-Fry Pan

Customer Ratings:

This is not really a non-stick pan at all.

All I did was attempt to fry some garlic in it once (not deep fry or anything, just saute in a little olive oil), the garlic stuck to the bottom of the pan, burned up, and would not come out wtihout scrubbing etc etc. and since then, whatever I try to cook to it, sticks to the bottom and burns, so I ended up throwing it out after only a handful of uses.

Would not recommend at all

I bought this on Halloween, but I just recently started using it for quick things, like cooking beans, pasta, stir-frying vegetables, and the like. I've used this wok roughly ten or so times so far, and the nonstick coating is already peeling on the sides. I only paid $10 for this so I guess I'll just suck it up and buy a better quality wok, but this was very disappointing.

Honest reviews on Asian Origins Nonstick Carbon-Steel 8-Inch Stir-Fry Pan

I just used this wok for the last time tonight. I was making a tofu stir-fry in peanut oil and the tofu stuck onto the pan like glue on paper. I even heated up the oil first. Using a silicone spatula to get it off broke the tofu into pieces and left the part in contact with the pan still stuck to the pan to burn. The tofu finally stopped sticking when the entire bottom of the pan was coated in burnt tofu/oil crust. Needless to say, eggs are a nightmare for this wok. The "nonstick" coating on mine is also damaged from wooden chopsticks. Mine is going to Goodwill, or the garbage; I haven't decided yet.

If you want a nonstick wok that will work on an induction cooktop (or any cooktop, for that matter), I recommend spending just a little bit more money and getting the Joyce Chen J22-0020 Pro Chef 9.5 Inch Peking Pan with Excalibur Non-stick coating. I have had the Joyce Chen wok for over a year now and I've used it almost every day since then, and it still looks likes new and could fry an egg with no oil at all, if I were so inclined. I bought this crappy one as a backup for when the Joyce Chen wok is dirty and I'm feeling too lazy to clean it, but I think I'll just get another Joyce Chen wok.

The Waring Pro W050B Cordless wine opener is just fantastic. I received one when redeeming my points from my credit card. I was so impressed with it that I quickly got online to find where I could purchase more. Amazon directed me in the right direction. I have purchased 3 more openers, one for each of my sisters. All of them agree it is one of the better birthday gifts they have recieved. It works well, just as demonstrated on the Waring video I viewed before ordering. I did read reviews from other owners and that helped me make the choice of this product. I recommend this product for anyone looking for a wonderful gift or one for themselves.

The Opener itself worked great. The Charging base quit working 2 months after I received it. Called Waring and they would replace it if I send the whole product back costing me at least another $10 to $12 in postage (very heavy) for an already expensive opener compared to others. I was willing to spend more for what I thought would be a quality product. They would cover the postage of the replacement back to me. Resulting in me having over $50 in a wine opener that as far as I know could suffer the same fate in a couple of months as the first one. I feel they should have covered the return postage so I would not have had more invested and they could show they FULLY stand behind their products.

Will not buy ANYTHING from Waring again and advise anyone to consider this when they are ordering. I threw this one away and bought an Oster. Warranties that keep costing me money on the same item is no good to me.

Once the cork is extracted you must use a screwdriver to wedge the cork against the wall of the opener to get enough traction to remove the cork from the opener.

I ordered these without having seen them in person, and at first look, I was very pleased. The pattern is attractive and even a bit elegant, and I was not disappointed from that perspective. But then I picked them up. They are lightweight, thinner than I expected and the underside looks and feels cheap. I would have preferred a more solid handle... with these, the underside is somewhat concave and it doesn't feel as nice as others that are available for a similar price. On the plus side, they do feel balanced and nice to hold (if you ignore the underside), and as I mentioned, I like the pattern.

Like most people are, I was sceptical about buying this because it was so inexpensive but I'm glad I did. I've made eggs, bacon, French toast, and a bunch of other food items in these pans and nothing will stick to them. Be very careful about the utensils you use because metal will scratch these easily (minus one star) but if you use nylon then there should be no problem. These are built sturdy also unlike a lot of other inexpensive pans. I recommend giving these a try before dropping large amounts of money on other pans.

I researched for a long time for a rack that would fit my space but still have enough storage space. I was very happy with this purchase. I ended up having to use it as the small size and it still has tons of storage. love my rack and love how much space is freed up in my small kitchen with not alot of space for storage. It was a little bit of a pain to put together but it was worth it. There a few steps that you almost have to have a 2nd person to hold as you piece togehter. I paid about $20 more at Kohls but thats okay it was the cheapest I could find it at the time. I have owned this for about 4 months and I am very happy with it.

The only true negative with this rack is the anchor styem. I had to call the company twice and they do not answer questions about the Toggler anchorsyou have to call a seperate company. I also had to call a plaster specialist about advice weither or not the Toggler could be used in my ceiling. The Toggler is meant for HOLLOW wall space. After talking a plaster guy and told him about my wall space and year built it was determined that I do have hollow space and could use the anchor system. make sure you aviod beams cause it will not work. After drilling 1/2 inch in my ceiling I put the anchor in and I must not have broke it off correctly because it was stuck and not in the correct position. I again called the company and asked for advice. They sent me TWO new togglers and there apologies. When they arrived, within only a few days, I was told to just use something to push the old one up and into the ceiling and put the new one. So I did and once again it broke incorrectly!! Frustrated and down to my last Toggler I gave it more shot and SUCCESS!! It was a bit of a pain to get up but I love it. Make sure you just KNOW where are gonna hang and have read ALL the directions, especially realted to togglers, before hanging. If you do this you will be much happier. But if you make mistakes, like I did, know the company(s) are very helpful and will do anything they can to help you figure it out!! I thought the togglers seemed flimsy at first but after now fully understanding the designed, they actaully are pretty ingenious and I have no doubt that they will hold the weight they claim. The rack does shift weight when take off and put on new pots/pans, made me nervous first time it happens but its just redisributing weight and once again NO PROBLEMS. I know its a long review but I wish I had known the info and i help someone! All and all a great purchase on a budget, looks great and works great!!

I ordered this rack and the grids to go with itbut when it arrived, there was a bright yellow star printed on the box that read: Now with Grids! so I unfortunately had to go through the exchange process to return the gridswould've been nice to know that up front, but heyat least I got the grids!

We have an entire set of Cuisinart pots and three cast iron pots hanging from it, and all the lids on top of the gridand there are no problems with the weight load.

Pros:

-Great rack for the money

-Easy to install (no need for studs)

-Expandable

-Came with grids!

Cons:

-Would be nice to know whether or not it comes with grids

-The grids were a little precarious at firstsliding back and forth. We found a position in which they are sturdy, but had to play with it a couple minutes.

-Would be nice if it also included the ceiling hook-covers too :)

I would most definitely buy this product again and recommend it to a friend.

Great and easy to install. Comes with 2 grid pieces so basically the only accessory needed it the covers to make the ceiling look good.

This rack looks great, was easy to install, and a fraction of the price of some of the others that I looked at. Make sure that you purchase the Trim Ceiling Covers too (sold seperately).

Bought the Woll 6.3 quart pot and the 8-inch saute pan. They are okay, but I guess I like the Swiss Diamond brand better (which I also own.) I wanted a pot of this size, similar to Swiss Diamond brand. SD does not make a pot about this size. I VERY MUCH prefer the Woll lid knob over Swiss Diamond's, but the non-stick coating is superior on the SD brand. I've only used my Woll pot a few times, being VERY careful and already the coating is chipping around the rim and showing signs of scuffing/scratching on the inside bottom and outside. I use silicone utensils. I believe the rim is chipping because of the metal edge on the lid. It shouldn't. The outside shows scuff marks from the slightest thing. I had the pot sitting on the counter next to the sink and a Corelle bowl rubbed against it leaving a scuff mark. I DO NOT have this problem with my Swiss Diamond pieces. This Woll pot is very non-stick and easy to clean, but for the money, the durability is sorely lacking. I don't think I would buy Woll again. Really disappointed, guess I'll just stick with Swiss Diamond.

Just made 50 lbs of butter crunch (16 batches) in this pan..no burning, easy clean up and best of all no reoccurrence of a chronic tendinitis ( I call it "Christmas elbow") that I usually get after making my candy for Christmas. It is ergonomically a dream...heats evenly, looks good...can go in the oven.. My new favorite cookware.

I decided to return to shiny aluminum baking pans when I discovered that dark, non-stick pans didn't turn out nicely browned baked goods. When it came to a new loaf pan, many of the shiny pans I considered had drawbacks: they were steel, which rusts; they had seams that were hard to clean; they were often flimsy and dented easily, and none was large enough to hold a full batch of batter. Not so with the Nordic Ware large loaf pan. This heavy-duty aluminum pan means business--the larger size is perfect for virtually every recipe, and the shiny surface produces great results and cleans up nicely. I've since added the muffin pan, rectangular baking pan, and quarter-size sheet cake pan to my collection of essential bakeware, and I remain impressed with Nordic Ware's outstanding quality and reasonable price.

These Nordic Ware loaf pans are the best I've ever seen. Throw all those miserable thin aluminum pans with the dark coating in the trash and order yourself some bakeware that will let your favorite recipes sing. I love the half and quarter sheet pans, too. The pans have a strong rolled edge that has a steel center to prevent the pan from warping at higher temperatures. I am also planning to ditch my newer Wilton cake pans in favor of the Nordic Ware round cake pans, as the quality of these pans is head and shoulders above anything the competition is offering. Your first pound cake or loaf of bread will convince you that the higher cost is worth every penny.

I bake a lot of bread and have for more than 30 years. The Nordic pans are easily the best bread pans I have used. These are not lightweight aluminum. They are heavy enough that you will not worry about them getting banged up and dented. Cleanup is a breeze.

To visualize the size loaf: I make Potato Bread quite often and my bread is just a bit larger than Oroweat's Country Potato Bread.

Honest reviews on Nordic Ware Large 1-1/2 Pound Loaf Pan

This pan is great for baking bread. The bread cooks evenly and turns out perfect every time since I bought these pans. Easy to clean up as well.

I have six of these pans and I use them to make bread every week. The non-stick surface is very durable and I only have to wipe them out after baking to be ready for the next batch.
