Cheap Norpro 905 High Heat Resistant Nylon Slotted Round Turner

Norpro 906 Nylon Nonstick 13-Inch Slotted Spatula
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
A long time ago, I thought I'd do my husband a favor by replacing his orange, burnt, worn and to my eyes, ugly nylon spatula. Ever since, I've been trying to replace that thing and it's been at least 20 years. This comes about as close as I can get it. So in my book, it's a five star tool not too flimsy but soft enough to bend to scrape the bottom of a pot of bean soul yet firm enough to lift fish off the bottom of the pan.

One reviewer said this spatula was toy sized... well, I use it for 8 egg spinach omelets and 12 ounce burgers and big 'ol flapjacks and no, this spatula is not small. What are you cooking, brontosaur? It's honestly about the biggest spatula in terms of flipper area that I've seen, save for stainless fast food triple patty flippers.

Speaking of stainless, no, this model is not. It will melt if you leave it on the burner. Stainless steel would earn the last star, but come on its $2. That's fifty cents per star.

This is just what i wanted, and just what was advertised. a low priced, good quality spatula to use in my nonstick pan. i am pleased, i paid just a few dollars for all including shipping. it is slightly flexible (i hoped it would have been a bit MORE flexible, i like the really "bendy ones") but it is flexible enough. it claims to be high temp i used it this morning to flip some eggs and it worked well. it didnt scratch my nonstick pan and it is beveled very well to a thin point so you can slide it under a omlette or crepe just perfectly. not much more to sap about a 3 dollar spatula! :P

Honest reviews on Norpro 905 High Heat Resistant Nylon Slotted Round Turner

This turner has a good size and it is not as thin and delicate as one can think for its price. Although I would not use it to loosen food stuck in the oven, it is good enough for normal tasks.

It's cheap. It's made of plastic. It will only melt if you're crazy enough to leave it against something really hot. It carries soup from the pot to your bowl. You can throw that mofo in the dishwasher. In short: it get's the job done.

We bought one like this when we were working in Hamburg, Germany and loved it so much we bought another from Amazon. Easy to clean, non-stick, handle detaches for dishwasher or oven and unlike Teflon which can leach into food and be harmful if the pan gets scratched, this titanium pan resists scratches and does not release harmful chemicals if it does. We have multiple pans like this and love our other covered pot for oatmeal it never burns!

Another Woll failure. As with the other Woll pan I bought, it was great while it lasted but the surface has begun to fail after less than two years. At least it is a little better than the diamond finish pan, still usable to some degree despite missing finish. But not for much longer.

It's very heavy though. And 9.5 inch is a bit small even for 2-people cooking.

Review of Nordic Ware Microwave Bacon Tray & Food Defroster

Nordic Ware Microwave Bacon Tray & Food Defroster
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I've given this a good rating because I remember using my mom's eons ago, and I was happy to see that I could order one for myself decades later! But I goofed up. I didn't take into consideration the DIAGONAL measurement of this item, and it's too big to TURN in my microwave. So... make sure YOUR microwave has at least 16 inches of clearance inside if you want your bacon to spin. Duh.

UPDATE, ONE YEAR LATER: I did buy a smaller version of this tray, but I decided I like cooking bacon in the oven way better than the 'wave, even though it takes more time. Get a baking sheet with a cooling rack that fits inside (very cheap at a restaurant supply) and lay the bacon strips on top. Put it into a cold oven and set for 400 degrees. It takes about 15-20 minutes, but the results are crispier, flatter, and yummier (especially if you brush the strips with maple syrup the last few minutes of cooking). All the drippings are caught in the tray, which you can pour into a container pretty easily. Pork fat rules!

The tray works well enough. However, it would drain better if the feet were taller on the top end so that it was higher than the end with the collection area. I do like using the tray for defrosting.

I received this set as a gift three years ago, and I really love the set. At the time, I was not much of a cook and just out of college, but I am now married and we cook all the time with these pans. They are super sturdy and feel hefty without too much weight. I appreciate the "strain" feature and use it regularly.

The company also stands behind its products and responds to customers via email. I was missing one of the lids to the pans after a move. I contacted them about it, and they helped me to replace the piece. It was great service on their part, and although I know these pans are going to last me for years and years, I will probably buy WearEver again.

The product PICTURED is actually a wonderful product and I would give it 5 stars. The problem is you do not get the items pictured. The 9-1/2-inch stainless steel saute has been replaced by two aluminum frying pans with non-stick coating. My child ordered this for a sibling's wedding gift and contacted Amazon after he did not get the items pictured. They have made no change in the image even though this is not what you receive. As a longtime customer of Amazon, I am truly disappointed that Amazon continues to sell this item with a misleading picture. This is truly false advertising. As a result, we have looked elsewhere to purchase the pan set for the wedding.

I recently upgraded my range from a gas model to an electric smooth surface cooktop (which I LOVE). I soon realized that a lot of my old (cheaper) cookware which had worked just fine on my old stove didn't work as well on my new one. Because of the nature of the design of this type of cooktop, the heat "transfers" to the cookware instead of the "direct" heat of conventional cooking. Bottom line is that your cookware needs to sit flat in order to perform well. Mine didn't. I bought this set because I wanted 4 things: 1)heavy-duty cookware to work with my new cooktop, 2)a non-stick finish in the fry pan only (but stainless steel in the pots); 3)a strainer built into the lids and 4)see-through clear lids. This is the only cookware I've found that met ALL of my criteria. I can tell a big difference between the new cookware and the old.

Honest reviews on WearEver A834S974 Cook and Strain Stainless Steel Dishwasher Safe

I bought this set over a year ago and am very happy with it. The set looks like it did when I bought it--and that with very little care! I have had a few occasions where I burned food on a pan and if you soak it, it cleans up very easily with steel wool. Many people have commented that they really like how they look. The double spouts on the pans make for very easy pouring, and I really love the strain feature in the cover. They also heat very evenly.

The photo shows all stainless. Two aluminum frying pans with non-stick coating were in the box instead of the heavy stainless pan. This in not what I wanted to order, as I already have a worn out set with peeling non-stick coating. I wanted all stainless with laminated bottoms, and not the cheap non-stick coating.

Mastrad All-Silicone Spatula, Green
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

I am a great fan of this spatula. I've owned plenty of spatulas in my time, with nylon heads or silicone heads, but nothing quite like this one. Have you ever pulled the handle out of a spatula head and seen all the blackish crap that grows in there? No risk of biological overgrowth with this smoothly contoured bundle of wonderfulness. With all the benefits of silicone (heat resistance, non-stick, flexible) and none of the bio-risk, I'm sold. I've bought three already and plan to invest in more.

I had gotten tired of all the spatulas I had getting gunk around the wooden handle, or the handle eventually falling out. This Orka spatula was the perfect solution! I have two and have been extremely pleased with them.

Honest reviews on Mastrad All Silicone Spatula

Haven't had it long, but love it so far. I've long hated the fact that spatulas trap gunk inside the handle slot, and there's not much you can do about it, short of dis-assembly, and gunk retrieval with a knife, which shortens the life of the spatula quite a bit, and makes them trap even more next time.

This ends all that, and it works well as a spatula, to boot! I've run it through the dishwasher several times, and it comes out well every time, with no film, as I get on some cheaper spatulas I've had. LOVE the silicon, since I can now use it for flipping eggs, and stirring soups, etc on the Teflon pans.

I've agreed with some who wished for a longer handle, right up til I put them in the dishwasher, when I was glad for the length they are, as any longer, and they won't fit in my silverware slots, or my drawer, for that matter. Also love the slim handle, as many spatulas take up too much room in the dishwasher with their fat handles. This one's perfect.

I got two, one skinny, and one standard size, and both are flexible enough to scrape, but not too flimsy to stir. Good texture, good strength, and good length for me. If they hold up over time, I'll be handing them out for Christmas gifts next year.

UPDATE: 3 months later: I still love all the things I said about it, but the one negative is the smell/taste. I'd hoped that would ease up after a while, but it really hasn't. It's not an overwhelming smell, but it is there, and it affects the taste of foods when you are trying to taste test. I don't think it's imparting anything to the actual food, but if you lick the spatula to taste your sauces, you will taste the spatula more than you want to. I've had to go back to tasting from a spoon, and just use the spatula for stirring. I also don't leave it in the food just stir, and remove. Too bad. It would be PERFECT if not for the taste/smell.

I cook and bake. A lot. Everyday, multiple times a day and this spatula is perfect. One piece, so nothing comes apart, silicone so nothing leeches into our food, soft enough so that it can get into crevices, but firm enough that it can do some heavy duty doughs. This will be my present to any baker or for any wedding shower!

Homichef 4.2 Quart High Stainless Sauce Pan
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
This pan is a very tough, sturdy and heavy sauce pan. It looks great, is made of good heavy stainless steel and cooks well and evenly. One obvious downside is that the lid does not come with the pan, so make sure you remember to order that if you want a lid for the pan.

In spite of the seemingly high quality of the pan, I did deduct a star because you don't exactly get what was advertised. The description clearly states the handle is attached with rivets, however it is actually only welded to the pan at 6 points. The welds seem sturdy enough and we have had other pans for over 15 years with only 4 such welds, so I'm not too worried about it, however when the details of the pan on the site clearly misrepresent the product I do have to dock some points for that. I don't know if Homichef or Amazon is responsible for the mistake in the product information, but it should be corrected.

After buying many different French Presses I believe the Berghoff press has the best quality construction of them all. Very easy to use and a great press for two cups of coffee. Easy to clean, useable outside without worry and one can quickly make two additional cups quickly for the 2nd cup when necessary. Best of all, this one is actually made in Belgium and might be the only press that is NOT made in China. The press mechanism, filter screen and all surrounding material is made of stainless steel, promising to be durable and safe.

I was looking for a French Press with more elegance than the plastic ones offered cheaply in many department stores, but also one that was not as pricey as Bodum. This fit the bill. And it has served marvelously! It comes with simple directions and works wonderfully, making great coffee, as, of course, do most French Presses. But this particular one has more bang for your buck. Definitely recommend it!

I have owned several other french presses and this is the best so far. I am very happy with this press particularly because the cut out design on the metal holder helps me measure how much water to pour into the press for the number of cups I want for any given day. This press looks nice when sitting on the counter. The glass is secure and the metal holder surrounds more than half the glass so it helps protect it from accidental bumps. Coffee is delicious with no need to taste the coffee filter I had to use with my coffee maker. I wish Amazon sold the replacement cut but I hope I will not need one.

After starting with a quite small 3 cup (12oz) La Cafetiere press (which I really like but I can make 1 10oz cup max), I started shopping for a somewhat larger press. I decided that a 4 cup (16oz) would serve me just fine. It seemed that all the french presses were based on a 4oz cup size, so I ordered the Berghoff based on that assumption. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up and saw a huge gleaming stainless steel press that looked 4 times larger than my little 3 cup model. It is actually a 32oz monster. Nice quality and functions quite nice with a glass beaker and

All ends well though with this true 8oz/cup 4 cup Berghoff (confusing hmmm?)as I can now make two nice 12oz mugs of coffee and share with a guest.

Best Zyliss Angled Turner Deals

Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

I bought this turner for my husband who wanted a thin and flexible turner since he makes crepes every weekend. He absolutely loves it! But, after a year of use, the edge was wearing down from the heat. After reading some reviews here on Amazon, I contacted the Zyliss representative in the US and was so amazed by the prompt customer service I received! Not only did they replace the item immediately, they included another product for us to try a slotted turner with a heat-resistant silicone edge Zyliss Silicone Slotted Turner. We haven't used it very long, but it works great as well. Considering the item was only $5 or $6 when I bought it I was impressed by how seriously they took my complaint. I will definitely buy their products again!

If you want a turner for crepes, either of these Zyliss products is great. And you can't argue with a 5 year warranty (on a $6 item). Customer service is impressive!

I like the Idea of this kind of turner. I really like the steel ones but since I have non-stick pans I had to stay with plastic. I normally like Zyliss but lately they've been coming out with duds or not well thought out items. The main complaint about this is the kick up at the tip of the turner. I guess it is made so you can get under things at an tight angle because the side of the pan might get in the way. The problem is is that your food doesn't want to slide easily under the turner and if you have delicate foods like eggs you tend to rip them. The non-delicate foods tend to resist getting on the turner and slides across the pan. It also warps easily.

This is the second disappointment I've had with Zyliss in the past 6 months. The first one was the food temperature probe. I'm thinking twice about buying the next Zyliss item.

The nigiri mold works wonderfully.

I purchased this item because the nigiri maker I had for over 10 years was lost in a recent move. I was surprised by the size of the nigiri this mold makes. Almost double the size of the old mold. Regardless of the size, it is easy to use. One should be careful when removing the rice from the mold because the plastic piece on the top (only one side connected to mold so you can push the nigiri out of the mold) does not appear to be very sturdy.
