Saw this in a Youtube video and had to have it.

It's easy to use but make sure you have large slices of bread or the crust will get sealed at the edge.

This is a great pound cake and carrot cake pan. Too small to make a decent loaf of bread using most bread recipies, but for the "heavy cakes" it is prefect. Warm cakes slide out like butter, even if you forget to grease or flour the pan.

I don't buy bread in the store any more I make everything myself from scratch. This is a great pan to make bread. The crust turns out very nicely golden and even. I use a few drops of olive oil before I put dough in the pan, and after baking it comes out very easy. I never tried, but I'd guess you don't need to put any oil in the pan and it's still going to get out of the pan very easily.

They were exactly the size bread pan I was looking for for a long time! They work wonderful and my bread came out delicious with the perfect size, like my dad's bread pans!! I always borrowed my dad's but now I don't have too! I've seen these at another place but much more expensive! They are perfect bread pans!

No spring to the tongs so they had no tension to open. They were more like long pliers or kinda worked when managed like chopsticks.

I live on my grill and was hoping for essentially a longer version of the OXO 16" tongs for help with higher heat conditions. These

are a total no-go. Maybe I got a bad one, but that's the only one I had in hand to review. Anyone suggest a good 20" or 20+" set of

tongs?

My Viking BBQ grill can get extremely hot (that's good!!) but I could only stand a second or so of it with my bare hands and arms. This long reach tong is just the answer. Did not give it a 5 Star rating because there is a "lock" at the base of the handle that often would lock the tongs closed while using them, but that is good when storing them.

So about 8 months ago I tried out my first set of ceramic pans. They were really nice and I liked them because they were a "green" and non-toxic solution to nonstick pans. They worked excellent with eggs and frying veggies and lighter fare but had a really hard time standing up to meat (and yes even with seasoning the pan appropriately yada yada yada). Every time I cooked red meat on my 10 in ceramic, it degraded the coating. Then one day I tried doing some fish on it, thinking it wouldn't be as bad, and it destroyed the pan in one shot. The fish skin stuck to the coating and nothing I could do would save it. I am certain this was partially do to the slow degradation over time but I was really miffed by this. Ceramic pan last 6 months and died. So, I decided to try something else. Found this stone earth pan and gave it a shot. WOW! What a difference. This seems to be one of those instances where the fad is winning out over good tech because this is superior in just about every way. Heat is more consistently distributed. It is more sturdy. Best of all, this cooks eggs and veggies just as well as ceramic but can stand up to heavier foods like steaks, burgers, fish, chicken, heavy sauces, etc. I wish I had found this first. Out of every non-stick solution I have tried old non-stick, hard anodized, ceramic, and now stone this is by far my favorite pan I have ever owned and I was sad to see it has gone out of stock and that I could not find this in 8 in and 12 in sizes with a crock pot and the whole nine yards. I want a whole set!!!!

3 month update: I have put this pan through it's paces use it at least every other day and it has shown absolutely no degradation in the nonstick coating. This is with seasoning the pan with oil each time and not turning it above medium as directed on the box. This pan continues to stand up to all kinds of food and cooking.

For my review on Quick Tattletials I received one STONEHENGE Ultra-safe 100% PFOA-Free Non-Stick Stone Coating From Germany, Stone Earth Pan, by Ozeri! This is the most awesome frying pan! Nothing sticks to it. You can fry eggs, veggies, burgers, chicken and everything else, without anything sticking to it! It's not light weight, nor is it heavy. It's just right! It's very easy to clean, just take a wet soapy paper towel or sponge to it. Make sure you season your pan, with ½ teaspoon of olive oil or vegetable oil. This pan is very Eco-friendly and perfect for everyday use. I would highly recommend, The Stone Earth Pan, by Ozeri!

This pan makes my 4th attempt at trying to find a good non-stick frying pan. What a relief to finally find one that does what a non-stick pan is supposed to do...cook food without the food sticking and burning. And the cleanup is wonderful. Because what I mostly use it for is stir frying chicken tenders with onions and peppers in a small amount of olive oil and in the other pans the food eventually sticks some and would leave a burnt residue on the bottom of the pan that made clean up a chore.

The pan has a solid, balanced feel to it, looks good, the handle feels good in the hand and has a solid heft to it as well. The pan is very flat on the bottom which is another huge plus!

The sides of the pan are almost completely vertical which I also like. I believe that this pan will keep me cooking for quite some time. I would like to see it offered in both a smaller and a larger size as well, if possible.

Even though I haven't had the pan long, I use it everyday and so far it has certainly met my expectations and by far exceeds the quality of the other three pans I purchased hoping for the quality the Stone Earth pan has provided.

I would definitely recommend this to others.

Honest reviews on The Stone Earth Pan by Ozeri, with 100% PFOA-Free Stone-Derived

I have been pleased with its nonstick properties so far. It also is a very attractive frying pan. Is heavier than most frying pans which I like. After ordering I found out that it should not be heated above medium heat. The instructions said this would not be a problem as it has superior heat transfer. I have not found this to be the case. It seems what you save in cleanup time is counterbalanced by what you lose in cooking time. I have cheaper nonstick pans that I feel free to use at high heat. I reckon they will not last as long but for the price perform better if cook time is included in the equation.

We've had the pan for a few weeks now. Love it! Takes only a small amount of oil and nothing sticks to it. I've made pancakes, eggs, stir fry, fish & chicken. No problem! The 10" pan is a nice size for cooking everything. I never notice the handle getting hot like my stainless steel pans. Directions say to not heat the pan more than medium heat, but I don't turn it up higher than that anyway. Not sure what would happen to the pan if I did. I don't put it in the dishwasher either, just hand wipe clean. My only gripe is that the pan is a little heavy but that may just be my wrist (injured years ago). Other than that, we use this pan everyday!

Anolon Advanced Bronze Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Deep Review

I ordered both the covered 12" skillet and the smaller 8" skillet from the Anolon Advanced Bronze Collection and was delighted to see they are even better than I expected. The weight is ideal--impressive but not too heavy for my older hands, The finish shouts quality inside and out. Cooking with them is a step-up in ease of cooking and cleaning. Meat browns nicely with only a tiny drop of oil in the pan. Instructions say no oil is needed, and I may get brave and try that, but in the meantime, can report that both skillets are a pleasure to use for a variety of food I've cooked on my gas range, including eggs, steak,chicken, fish, grilled veggies, e.g. onions, potatoes, stir-fry, etc. Pancakes and French Toast browned without using oil. I particularly appreciate that the exterior finish is also non-stick and wipes clean as easily as the interior, This should extend the attractiveness of the pans for a long, long time. The bronze color is nice, but I would have ordered the stainless finish if the sizes I wanted had been on sale at the time. Note: I forgot just how large a 12" skillet is, and will be ordering a 10" soon, as I'm usually cooking for two.

18 MONTH UPDATE: These pans were everything we wanted for about 12 months

before the exterior non-stick finish began to break down and I was unable to

find anyway to keep them looking good. Another 6 months, and the inside of

the 12" skillet had lost most of it's non-stick qualities, and was impossible

to clean. In all, these "better" quality" non-stick lasted just barely longer

than the less expensive ones and price considered, were not as economical.

BTW: We are a 2 person household and we both love to cook and know how to

care for our equipment. These pans were never over-heated of abused, and were

cleaned as instructed. In the 18 months of almost daily use of one or the other,

I could count on one hand the times the pan was NOT hand-washed and put away after use

and not just rinsed and wiped out. Only the small pan is still usable--but unsightly!

Question: Should I now order "best" non-stick, and hope they're worth it, or just

plan on replacement every year or so?

Analon advance pans are the best pans I have used. I have been cooking for 20 years and these are by far the best. Even heat distribution, and nonstick that works. These pans are quality! Heavy, built to survive, well, me. Handles are riveted on with over sized rivets and are super strong. I would bet if you filled these with lead it would probably hold (sorry i didn't try). I have cooked eggs, potatoes, gravy, meat, pancakes & tomato sauce in these pans, with no oil or spray, and have had success with all. Cleaning has been done with hot tap water from sink sprayer and they always came clean. Soap and sponge for safety but the food came out without them. I have several sizes and like them all. Some of the pans come with glass lids. Glass lids are nice and have wonderful handles, but lack a vent hole (the only downfall). I have used wooden and plastic utensils without any issues. At this time i have used the pans approx 20 times and they look and work like new.

I've been searching for a deep skillet for a while now and found this Anolon on Amazon. The non-stick is SO amazing that my husband (who hates cleaning dishes by hand) automatically washes this pan whenever he or I use it! You just need mild soap and a sponge and off comes everything! If this keeps up, I will be purchasing more items form Anolon.

Honest reviews on Anolon Advanced Bronze Hard Anodized Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Deep

You could save a little money by buying a cheap pan at the grocery store…they work about the same as this one does for me.

I bought this pan as a small sampler before I splurged on the 11-piece set. I am so glad I did! This pan does not live up to the expectations of quality cookware. I have only had it 2-3 weeks but use it at least daily (sometimes several times a day) and it already has a very definitive hot spot in the center of the pan. Most hard anodized aluminum pans boast even heat distribution, but this one falls FAR short of that. It also does not cook things as fast or efficiently as several other HAA pans I have. I will NOT be buying the full set, and am going to try to return this pan.

I purchased this Analon Advanced Bronze skillet to replace an older version of the same thing as I cannot function without this piece of cookware in my kitchen. Even better, it was still an "Open Stock" item no need to have to buy a complete set of cookware to get one pan. The price was also right not having gone up that much over the years.

My old skillet gave me many years of use and was well traveled, having cooked successfully on all types of heating surfaces and fuels here in the U.S. and overseas. I was delighted to find that I could replace it.

The size is wonderful when preparing recipes that make a larger amount, and the higher sides prevent messy splashes and spatters that occur when cooking in a more open skillet. I love it for frying meats, and especially for spaghetti sauce. The fact that it now comes with a lid is another plus. My old one did not. This skillet is not only versatile, it also has an attractive design, and the bronze tone is a nice change from the old gunmetal gray.

I have tried all varieties of "non stick" cookware over time, and find the Hard Anondized the best performer of all. It cleans easily, resists staining, has even heat distribution. and has yet to cook a disappointing meal for me.

I plan to purchase the entire set of cookware to go with my new skillet.

The non-stick surface of this pan is great and it looks like the construction is excellent too. The only problem I have is that the pan warps very slightly when heated which makes it rock on a flat top electric stove. It would be perfect for a gas stove or a stove with electric coils, but not a glass/ceramic flat top. I sent the first pan back because of this and the second one seemed better, but still warps enough to rock slightly. I use it at the lowest heat I can to try to minimize this effect. Too bad I have two flat top stoves.

This cookware does the job providing even heat throughout your cooking process. The surface is super slick but gives you a nice foundation for searing, braising and pan frying and lends itself to a variety of sauce making applications. A simply pan reduction sauce is a snap and cleanup is a breeze, with paper towel no less. The nicest features are the stay cool recycled stainless steel handle mirrored with the ability to finish your meal preparation in the oven or broiler.

The deep rich browning created by this pan is uniform and flavorful. Don't let the competition sway you, cooking till black is not the new brown! So, if you are going green, get this cookware, it's certainly your next step! If you wish to look at one up close and feel the quality for yourself then head on over to your nearest Le Gourmet Chef outlet store, you will not be disappointed.

I recently prepared Chicken Marsala utilizing this pan and a Simply Calphalon Saute Pan. Both pans performed well but the golden brown searing and coloration was more developed in the Cuisinart pan. I also was able to adjust the gas at a lower flame under the Cuisinart pan. The Calphalon pan was searing at 8 out of 10 on the cook-top range whereas the Cuisinart pan was searing at 4 out of 10. The fond left on the pan from the searing in the Cuisinart pan was also more developed and added to the Marsala recipe quite nicely.

I will post a comment and update the link when I test the new Calphalon Unison searing pan against the Cuisinart GreenGourmet Saute pan.

I bought this pan after owning the Cuisinart GreenGourmet 12 inch skillet (Hard Anodized). I used to use stainless steel only and was very apprehensive about any non-stick surface, especially after the news of health concerns linked to Tephlon coated pans. I received my first Cuisinart GreenGourmet pan from a friend who wanted to convert me to a non-stick pan user. After learning about the safety of hard-anodized and ceramica, I became comfortable using this pan. It very quickly became my favorie pan. I added this 5.5 Quart Saute pan to my collection and it functions as my work horse for those larger quantity recipies such as chili. The pan is not only BEAUTIFUL, it is quite versatile. I have used it for a variety of applications from stove, to high broiler, to flambe. It does it all. It is oven and broiler safe. The ceramica finish is easy to clean and is heats up quickly and evenly. As per the instructions, I have never had to turn the stove past medium/high, even to boil water in this pan ... yes boil water. The cooking area is great for making noodles, especially lasagna noodles without having to break them to fit into the pot. This pan also comes with a lid that can be used on the Cuisinart 12-inch Skillet (which does not come with a lid).

Amazon offers a VERY good price for the GreenGourmet line. The GreenGourmet line is hard to find (Target, Walmart don't carry them). Bed Bath and Beyond charges full price, and even with a coupon you are not getting it for the everyday price offered by Amazon. A real bargain.

Thanks for reading :-)

Honest reviews on Cuisinart GG33-30H GreenGourmet Hard-Anodized Nonstick 5-1/2-Quart

As with most Cuisinart products, this pan is outstanding. When compared to products of similar quality (AllClad, etc) this pan is quite affordable, and somewhat better to use. Its heat distribution is superb & uses lower temperatures, its non-stick surface is excellent & durable, its stovetop-to-oven feature is as good as any ordinary pan BETTER actually, since it is a non-stick. The cover fits quite well and seals in moisture & heat. Its rounded lip allows pouring more neatly & more quickly than other high end lines a very welcomed feature, as is the helper handle which not all pans of this size have. As an extremely active amateur chef and avid foodie, I cook a GREAT deal and the Cuisinart GreenGourmet line this pan in particular has become the principal cooking implement in our kitchen. The additional health safety features are a plus which must not be overlooked.

I bought this lid to use with my 8-inch saute pan (part of the 9-piece Calphalon commercial hard-anodized cookware set), but its slightly too big. I would like to point out that if you go to the Calphalon web site, this is the lid listed as fitting the 8-inch saute pan.

The lid is usable, but doesn't seat well to get any sort of seal on the pan. It's unfortunate, as its an attractive, well made lid, but for my purposes its useless so I am sending it back.

I also have the 10-inch stainless steel lid, which fits the 10-inch saute pan perfectly. I'm not sure why Calphalon didn't take more care designing this one.

I'd give it zero stars if I could. I read the review from 2005 and hoped that was just one bad batch--but it isn't. The lid is slightly too large and if used on a non-stick pan will damage the non-stick surface since it sits on that instead of the lip of the pan. So, I have returned it. Note that this is just a problem with the 8 inch lid; I also bought the 10 inch lid and that one fits perfectly.

This is a really great set of scissors for the price. Owning Wusthof knives and a pair of come-apart kitchen sheers, I thought this set would be high quality and I was right. The scissors are sharp, solid and strong. The only thing I cant rave about is the little pruners. They lack the heft they need for anything other than tender stems. I think if Wusthof added another blade, they would do a better job, but the pruners have only one blade and the other surface is plastic, so you dont get a good, clean cut with a woody stem like a rose or lilacs. Other than that, the other pieces perform superbly, fit comfortably in the hand, and stand up to the abuse I give them. They are also dishwasher safe and come out sparkling. Yes I do recommend these.

BUYER BEWARE! These are being offered at a low price because they are actually 18/0 stainless steel, not 18/8 as Amazon specs incorrectly state.

The numbers 18/0 and 18/8 refer to the percentage of content of chromium and nickel. To be classified as stainless steel, the metal must contain at least 11% chromium (no nickel required). Stainless steel used in cookware is normally 18% chromium and 8% to 10% nickel.

Low end stainless steel cookware, mixing bowls, stockpots and accessories are usually 18/0, which are usually not highly polished, and could be subject to some rust spotting.

Boston Colonial was attractive and affordable for our growing family.

I went ahead and purchased it again in spite of negative comments here because I needed it for a visit from children and grandchildren. The set is basically attractive, and I have found that differences between the new set and my old set are not readily apparent in normal use. However, I agree with those who are disappointed in the downgrade of this pattern. Pieces feel lighter, particularly the knives, and the effort to make the knife handles look as hefty as their predecessors is unfortunate.

I have had the set only about a month so can't really assess its durability. However, so far I don't notice many scratches; and I am washing it in the dishwasher without seeing any corrosion.

Best Deals for Oneida Colonial Boston 45-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set

I ordered this set because Amazon specs say it's 18/8 steel. However, when I received it, the box says 18/0 which is much lower quality. The pieces look really nice, and I wonder if maybe the box is wrong. Can't know so I'm sending it back.

Honest reviews on Oneida Colonial Boston 45-Piece Stainless-Steel Flatware Set

I received this set and returned it within a month. It started rusting. I finally went to the Silver Superstore on line. They have a line of flatware that is made in the USA. Unfortunately, after Oneida closed their USA plant, it has become harder to find flatware that isn't made in China, Vietnam or Indonesia. Check out silversuperstore.com. They have a whole section of "not made in China" flatware.

This flatware set is the same pattern I have had in the past. I was given some when I went away to college and they were great. The set I have were stamped S.S.S made in USA by Oneida and were virtually care free, just use em throw em in the dishwasher and rinse and repeat. Normally I don't take time to review, but this set is so bad I just have to warn anyone looking at this item. This set I bought from amazon is absolute garbage, they were terrible from the moment I took them out of the box. They were clearly very poorly made. First of all the box says they are 18/0 steel which is not what I ordered, the utensils themselves say 5/10 made in Indonesia and the website here said 18/10...very confusing. So I looked it up, Oneida's website classes them as casual flatware, which is listed as 18/0. The pieces themselves looked like they had been quickly polished, or dipped in some kind of plating that was not on the handles. The handles look more like brushed steel, and there were definitely a difference between the handles and the business end. Also, the handles were rough and sharp on some sides, and smooth on others with no consistency at all. They were also covered in spots with a black soot that might have been from the forging but did not come out with washing. I should have sent them back but I'm new to amazon and don't have a lot of time and I did not wan to mess with it for 50$. So I kept them...and things got worse.

A mere 4 weeks after purchase, I had washed them about 3 times (I don't go through a lot of utensils)and I began to get rust pitting on the spoons, clear evidence of the poor quality steel. I am using a dishwasher with a main brand of regular gel detergent, nothing fancy. The knives however were even worse! On some of the knives I got SEVERE rusting ALL up and down the handle to the point where its not even usable. Its to the point now where I find new degradation on every wash cycle, yet my old utensils Ive had for a decade are just as perfect as when I got them. The bottom line, this set is absolute garbage and I would not recommend this set to anyone. In fact, I am going to call Oneida and tell them how bad their product really is.

In regards to amazon, my order shipped out slower than EVERY other company I've ordered from online. The price was good which is why I purchased here and others seem to like Amazon but it has not been a great experience for a first time buy, I'm very skeptical about what you can get on here but ill give it another chance.
