This syrup is exactly what I think of when I imagine summertime blue raspberry snow cones. It's not watery or too thin. It's made at least 30 snow cones, and considering that cones are now ~$4 a pop at the fair, it's well worth the investment. Will DEFINITELY buy again and again.

I am not a big fan of the All Clad LTD line but I do love this pan. I much prefer the All Clad polished stainless steel line (I have almost every piece and love it). This grill is a perfect size for grilling for 1-4 people. I debated on the grande size, I decided that since I don't grill everyday it didn't make sense to spend the extra money and deal with storing the larger size. Also, I selected the round style over the square, my stove burners are round so I figured that the round style made more sense for me.

I often marinade chicken tenders in Emeril Lagasse's marinade (he has several different marinades that you can find in your local supermarket) a day in advance and heat up this pan and toss on the chicken. I usually make a veggie or two and some rice, it is a very quick and easy dinner and is also very healthy! You can also use this pan for everything from burgers to a tuna steak.

This pan is not dishwasher safe due to the nonstick surface, but don't worry it is a breeze to clean. I have the George Foreman grill that has been sitting in the cabinet collecting dust since I bought this pan. I don't like the George Foreman grill because you can't really wash the grill surface very well. The grill surface should be removable so you can really clean it. This pan is very, very well made and is backed by a lifetime warranty. Sometimes this pan is sold as a special..., if you see it grab it. It is a steal at that price. Once you try All Clad you will be hooked too! Highly recommended! A+!

I've been using grill pans for years and have bought many brands. This is the best one, hands-down. I gave away all five of the others I owned after the first time I used this pan. I love All Clad cookware in general and this is my first non-stick. The results are so superior to any other grill pan I recommend it to everyone. If you want healthy and perfectly prepared grilled food, whether it's fish, meat or vegetables, without a drop of added fat, this pan is for you. Buy it.

I'm a big fan of All-Clad and have a lot of All-Clad LTD and MasterChef pots and pans. I feel All-Clad has a great design methodology and makes great quality gear. Also, their non-stick coating is the best in the business. This grill pan, however, isn't actually clad the secret of its low price. It's made from a single piece of anodized aluminum like a Calphalon pan as a brief examination of the edge reveals. The beefy handle is the most All-Clad thing about it. The nonstick coating isn't the usual All-Clad type either although it certainly is top quality. As a grill pan, this one is very good that's not the problem.

Grill pans make grill marks on your food but are no substitute for actually grilling. There's no smoke flavor or high heat caramelization. The only thing the grill pan gives you is the sear marks. To that end, the nonstick surface fights you. Metal gives much better sear marks than nonstick coatings. In order to get a nonstick pan to give good sear you must really crank the heat up. This makes a lot of smoke which make a good lid a necessity. Sadly, this pan doesn't include a lid. I found that the Calphalon 12" "Everyday" pan's lid is a perfect fit by coincidence so I use it every time.

I have the luxury of a grill outside my kitchen door. I'm the kind of hardy soul who has no problem stepping out in the snow in shirtsleeves to flip the steaks. I find all grill pans to be a very poor substitute to actually grilling. Maybe if I lived in the city and couldn't grill as easily I'd be more enamored of this pan. As it is, I mainly use it under duress (such as during bad rain storms when I reluctantly must grill indoors).

Honest reviews on All-Clad 3012 Hard Anodized Aluminum Nonstick 12-Inch Round Grille

I recently tossed a Calphalon grill pan in the trash after I could not clean it after use. Looking for another grill pan to replace it, I found this gem. I don't know how Amamzon can offer this high quality pan for this price, but grab it. Wonderful heat distribution, very large cook surface and NOTHING sticks!!

I could not believe that I found this pan at this price. I was further astounded when I received it and started cooking on it. It is absolutely fabulous. NY Strip streak comes out truly delicious when you simply sprinkle some salt and cracked pepper on it and then throw it on the grill pan. Also works great for bacon. Also works great for burgers. Also works great for...anything you could think of. For cleaning, I recommend immediately filling it with water after taking the food out, enough to cover all the bottom, and then let it sit til after dinner and you start doing the dishes. If you do this, then I recommend an OXO brush (ASIN B0000CFQOB) with nylon bristles. Gently brush between the grooves to loosen the remaining material and then use a sponge. I recommend the nylon brush because it is hard to get a sponge to get every bit of remaining material along the grooves. But overall this is incredibly easy to clean and even easier to cook on. I still cannot believe I paid only fifty for this item.

I got this wok a week ago after contemplating on steel vs non stick. I almost decided an bought the Scan pan wok 14" but it seemed too high a price but I was sure of the quality. The other woks which has good nonstick quality were to be babied and as you all know, woks need very high heat and I was not sure if hte non stick could withstand this.

Finally, I decided carbon steel was the way to go. This wok is very good, size 14" is a good size for a family of four adults and also if you have guests over. I cook chinese abt once a week but also plan to use the wok for deep frying. That was one another reason I went in for the carbon steel one. The seasonging shd not be a prob as it just says not to USE soap to clean it. Just wash with warm water and rinse adn apply a coating of oil. That is all...I can handle that!

If your main consideration is good tasting chinese food and a big size wok this is the one to use. If you are particular abt nonstick i would recommend only the scan pan in spite of its price.

another quick info, I got this at the Bed bath and beyond store for only twenty one $s with the 20% off coupon.. same one here...

I previously owned an electric stainless steel wok that was given to me as a gift. I used it a few times but wasn't really pleased with the results and rarely used it since if I heated it up high enough to stir fry, the base of it would burn and give an awful taste to the food. While researching bamboo steamers, I came across a lot of articles where the flat bottomed carbon steel wok was recommended. I decided to get this one only because the Joyce Chen brand was mentioned a few times and it stuck with me. This is so much better than the electric wok and I suspect that it's better than the non stick woks since non stick doesn't really sear to well. Seasoning the wok was really easy, and I successfully made Cashew Chicken after doing so! I read somewhere that seasoning would generate a lot of smoke, but I didn't have that problem. I think this is a pretty good buy and recommend it over expensive stainless steel wok skillets that go for $100 or more.

I have a carbon steel wok I have used for 30 years. It is too small for the dinner parties I have and I finally decided to get a bigger one. I bought this wok at Linens and Things and its every bit as good as the one I have been using all these years. You don't want non stick for wok cooking if you are going stir fry properly, you need a carbon steel wok that is properly seasoned. Seasoning is easy, so don't let that scare you. I use a wok three or four times a week, and this one has performed great. If you want a good size wok, buy this one.

Honest reviews on Joyce Chen Traditional 14-Inch Flat Bottom Wok Set

I don't understand the negative reviews. I really like this wok and use it several times a week. I cook everything from stir fries to curries to crisping homemade croutons. I've even cooked burgers and made scrambled eggs in this wok.

Follow the directions for seasoning and you can't go wrong. Re-season it occasionally, and all you need do is rinse the wok in very hot water and dry thoroughly before storing. If bits of food get stuck, I boil a little water in the wok, poke at the burnt crispies with a wooden spoon, and everything comes clean. If food gets really stuck, I make a paste of baking soda and bleach to get the stuck bits off and then re-season, but I never never use soap or a scouring pad. If I did, I'd have to start the seasoning process all over again.

Note: Once the wok is well seasoned, it will no longer be silver and shiny. It will always have a bronze patina, but that is exactly what you are looking for.

UPDATE [June 2011] Five years later, with regular use, this wok just gets better over time. It is holding up quite well, has no rust (it's important to dry well after each use, with a couple paper towels). The bamboo knob on the lid and the wok handles are still tight and firmly attached, and the inside of the wok has developed a wonderfully stick-free patina. Cooked food literally slides out. Highly recommended.

This is the Wok you want, not the non stick ones. The Wok cooks at high heat and nonstick one give off cancer causing particles at high heat. Yes you have to season this pan but so what, it is easy and quick. One of the reviewers say the nonstick came off HOW? it does'nt have any! Wrong Wok your reviewing there. This Wok ROCKS, and we really use it too. So you can stop looking you found the Wok you want.

I have the original model of this Anolon Advanced crepe pan from years ago and it is still going strong.

The rubber wrapped handle eliminates the need for a hot pad on your hand. This is particularly useful in crepe making when one is moving quickly, swirling batter, flipping the pan, etc.

I love my new Paula Deen cookware! I had been searching for new cookware for awhile and wanted the best, for the best price. I have seen these pots and pans in the local stores, but none of the stores I went to had the color I wanted. It was so frustrating! I searched on Amazon.com and found the Paula Deen cookware AND it was the perfect color.

Through receiving my cookware, one of the lids had shattered. I was so upset. BUT I got ahold of Amazon.com and they completely took care of the situation and sent me a whole new set! I was very pleased with how they handled it.

Best Deals for Paula Deen 12-Piece Porcelain Cookware Set

I purchased this set of pots and pans hoping to find a quality set to last for the next 10 years or so. Pros: The color is lovely and they are very aestically pleasing. Cons: After only a few months time the non-stick lining is already scratched (despite having followed the included user guidelines of handwashing and only using provided utensils), They are also not balanced well. The handles are too heavy and cause uneven heating due to one side raising up off of the burner. I have dealt with this by using the attached hanging hooks as a sort of rest. I would not recommend this product, nor purchase it again.

Honest reviews on Paula Deen 12-Piece Porcelain Cookware Set

Im bi-anually dissapointed in the pot and pan sets I buy. Not so with this one. They come carefully packaged and the quality for the price is outstanding. Beautiful copper accents on the handles and lids, the speckling and color are perfect. This is the first time I've had someone walk in my kitchen and say " Nice pots and pans!". Downside is that the upper lips of the skillets and sauce pans curve inward a bit and kinda makes it impossible to pour directly out of them without it running down the side of the pot. I have paid double for sets before and not had the quality present in this set. I plan to order myself the matching teapot!

I have had these pots for 11 months, and am so disappointed... like another reviewer mentioned, the non-stick coating comes off, even with me using the proper utensils... this isn't a cheap set, and I would have hoped it would have lasted longer than it has... would not recommend...

I had a Townecraft home demonstation and thought it was wonderful. The salesman was great and really made me excited. Then came the price. I've bought cars for less than that! I started looking around for that same brand on auction sites and found it 1/2 the price, but still very expensive. I went to the waterless cookware site and decided to give Maxam 9 a shot. It took 2 months to get, but the pans are good heavy quality, very easy to clean, and keep the food moist. Waterless cooking, however, takes patience to get right and you are likely to burn some meals if you stick to the time guidelines in the book. I've had them for about two monts now and finally got rid of all of the old teflon and rusty pans...they aren't coming back. I've cooked with the Townecraft pans before and you aren't going to see enough of a difference to warrant 6-8 times the price. Maxam 9 (World's Finest) is almost as good and won't kill your budget. As Zig Ziglar says "It's easier to justify cost once, than apologize for quality forever" The price is more than what you are going to pay in WalMart, but the cost over a lifetime will be much, much lower because you won't buy pans again.

UPDATE: On exactly the 30th day of purchase, while cooking, the skillet lid valve fell out of the lid into my skillet. I am getting a replacement and hope it was just a fluke and not indicative of quality of every set.

2nd UPDATE: The replacement fell apart within 30 days in the same manner as my first set. The steam valve fell out of the lid into the pan. I am returning for refund. I do love the oil-less water-less cooking but will look for a set that will last at least a couple of years.

What is 304 surgical stainless steel? The 304 surgical stainless steel contains about 18% chromium and a higher percentage of nickel than "ordinary" stainless steel. The popularity of 304 surgical stainless steel is due to its gleaming appearance which lasts for the life of a product. Its excellent corrosion resistance is due to an invisible, passive oxide film that forms on the metal's surface in air. Sometimes 304 surgical stainless is referred to as T304.

8 advantages of 304 surgical stainless steel

1. corrosion resistance

2 economy

3 temperature resistance

4 beauty

5 durability

6 design flexibility

7 easy to clean

8 flavor protection

The 9 element steam control system makes cooking as easy as. . .

1 start cooking on medium heat

2 listen for the whistle

3 close the valve, turn heat to low and simmer to finish cooking

YOU CAN STACK THEM

A picture I uploaded above illustrates how you might cook a roast or chicken with potatoes & carrots in the bottom, a vegetable in the middle pan and another vegetable in the top pan. When stack cooking, remember to always start cooking each individual pan on a burner until you hear the steam valve whistle, then close the valve and stack to finish cooking. Heat is transferred from the bottom pan to the top.

9 ELEMENT CONSTRUCTION 304 stainless steel inside and out surgical stainless encapsulates a thick aluminum disk. This capsule bottom has 9 elements.

1 chrome

2 nickel

3 manganese

4 silicon

5 aluminum

6 iron

7 copper

8 molybedenum

9 vanadium

Please see additional photos of box with additional information I uploaded above.

All pans (not lids) are oven safe to 350°F.

I found the pans easier to clean than my 18/10 stainless steel cookware and almost as easy to clean as my 316Titanium Saladmaster. I wonder if those having difficulties followed the written instructions for how to care and clean your cookware: "In case particles of food become burned in your pan, fill the pan with hot water in a hot pan, cold water in a cold pan, and let soak. The scorched particles should easily lift off. If a stubborn burn has been created, partly fill the pan with water and bring to a boil. use a wooden spoon to remove such burned particles. If a stain still remains, it can easily be removed with a good stainless steel cleaner." I haven't had much burn in my pan because i am not frying in them or using over high heat, I am following the directions for low-pressure waterless oil-less cooking.

Honest reviews on Maxam KT17 17-Piece 9-Element Surgical-Stainless-Steel Waterless

I fell in "want" with the nifty "waterless" cookware at the state fair, and drooled for years at the demos, but just couldn't justify the $2000-$3000 price tag. I knew I really wanted stainless steel pans, something heavy-duty, and that waterless cooking would be a plus. After LOTS of research, and many e-mails and calls to various manufacturers, distributors, etc. I decided to try this set I couldn't even find a decent set of regular stainless cookware for this price, much less waterless. Worst case scenario would be that I would have a decent heavy set of stainless steel pots and the waterless part might be a bust.

But it wasn't. Right off the bat, I was amazed at how colorful and flavorful my vegetables were, in less time and very little water (waterless cooking should actually be called less-water cooking in most cases). The carrots were awesome! I can cook meats and vegetables in the same pot, sort of in layers, in less time than conventional cooking the steam control valve provides a sort of low-pressure pressure-cooker effect, cooking the foods in less or no liquid in less time. Meats sear to the bottom, then release as they cook, in no liquid and clean up is easy. Even foods that seem to be "stuck," like the little browned parts of fried potatoes, soak off in minutes and clean easily. Anything that doesn't remove completely in water comes off readily with a Brillo-type pad (hooray for stainless steel!).

Something else I appreciated was that the sizes were ALL good sizes for our growing/larger family of ten. So many sets include little pans as standard, then charge a fortune for add-ons like 3-qt saucepans, etc. This set gave me four saucepans, a pretty big frying pan (just under 12 inch), plus the biggest Dutch oven I'd ever seen, at over 7 quarts! And the smallest saucepan is almost 2 quarts, so it's actually useful. The egg poaching insert with easy-clean cups is a bonus; great for quick breakfasts!

I have had my pots and pans for over ten years and they get HEAVY use. They still look great and work wonderfully. These are the pots and pans my daughters want for their kitchens. We liked the set so well that we wanted to make

this cookware available to our friends for their kitchens.

Combine this heavy duty stainless steel set with a few Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers for a well-outfitted kitchen!

By the way, this same manufacturer has another line besides Steam Control, but the distributors I "interrogated" said the others aren't quite the top of the line that these are. These should be the last pots you'll ever need!

To use the steam control valve, start cooking on medium to med-high heat (don't use high heat unless boiling something, like pasta water). Then when the valve begins to whistle (like a teakettle), close the valve and turn the heat down to low and finish cooking. The 9-element construction allows you to stack cook with this cookware (although I have not personally tried this): Begin cooking on individual burners and when the valve whistles you can invert the lids to stack the pans to finish cooking. The handles are resistant to heat, cold, and detergents.

I've been amazed at how easy-release they are even though they aren't "non stick," and they clean up very easily. And if you think you can't cook eggs in SS, think again. I have photos of eggs cooked with a thin lecithin/oil film (like Pam) and I don't even have to touch the pan with a spatula to slide the eggs out. Just don't cook above medium heat.(The one thing you need to remember is that they arrive with a thin coat of factory oil over them, so you should wash them really well before first use or they could slightly discolor from cooking the oil all over the outside.)

I also use my Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers DAILY, by the way. The KR cookers and my SS cookware are a great combination.

Overall these pots work as they should. They take some getting used re: how long to cook and overall I was surprised at how quickly they cook vegetables. I found that if I waited for the valve to "whistle" then the veggies would burn and overcook, so instead as soon as I see steam coming out of the valve I close it and turn down to simmer. That works well. Biggest problem is the round metal whistle piece that fits into the pot handle falling out into the food during cooking. This happens constantly and I've given up pressing them back in and just leave them out now.

Mauviel M'cook Stainless Steel 9.5 inch Round Pan
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

I purchased this from Carlucci Imports, through Amazon. It arrived in an unmarked plastic bag in a shipping box, with no manufacturer's packaging, booklet, or warranty card. There was a Mauviel sticker on the interior bottom of the pan, which could not be peeled off and required a razor blade for removal, leaving behind petrified adhesive. Coconut oil removed some of it, and GooGone was completely ineffective for the rest. I finally resorted to soap and a nylon scrubber, which removed the dried adhesive but scratched the finish. My impression is that this pan had been lying around in a warehouse for some time before I bought it.

Anyway, the pan itself is heavy and well-made, with sturdy riveted handles. It is very flat on the bottom and works great on my induction range. I'd buy it again, but not from this seller.

Over the years, I have purchased many spatter guards and they all ended up in the same place the trash. They were either too flimsy and didn't hold their shape, or didn't really do much to stop oil splatters. This one is a keeper. The kind of quality product I have come to expect from Le Creuset. It is well made and heavy enough to stay on the pan; the silicon rim makes for a tight fit and assures no sliding around. Easy to keep clean and folding handle makes storage easy. Very pleased with this item and I would highly rcommend it for anyone who really wants to contain splattering oil. This one will do it! Meant to last a lifetime and worth every penny.

Expensive.

Best splatter guard I have ever come across. This is well worth the money. It's very heavy duty and covers my Le Creuset skillet perfectly and also has a nice folding handle for storage. Instead of wasting your money on inexpensive splatter guards that will need frequent replacement, spend the money and buy Le Creuset.

Honest reviews on Le Creuset CA2001 Universal Stainless-Steel Splatter Guard

When I cook steaks or fish on a high temperature, the oil comes through the wire screen, so I have to put a paper towel to keep the oil from splattering.

I've tried other less expensive splatter guards and that is exactly what they were...cheap. This one costs a bit more but it works great! I don't think I'll probably ever have to purchase another one. Fits all different sizes of pots and pans, love it!

This pot performs well; as good as the T-FAL model I've had for almost 20 yrs. If it lasts as long I won't feel too bad about having paid 4x as much.

The only complaint [other than cost!] is the way you have to take the handle off to clean after each use. You've got to have quite stong hands to work it.

It was a great pressure cooker. Quality is good as long as the silicone parts are not broken. I used it almost everyday. Silicone ring wear every 3-4 months and each time it's $10. The silicone cover for the round indicator pin is another $8 or so, which needs replacement every 1-1.5 year. There's another tiny silicone part between removable handle and the pot cover. This is the one that's not available, but without it the cooker doesn't work.Therefore, mine WMF has been useless since then.

I am buying a Fissler pressure cooker, because it only has one silicone part (ring) but not the other two tiny parts. That should be less trouble.

My parents bought a larger one last year and are very satisfied with it so I bought a smaller size this time. It cooks much faster than other traditional pressure cooker, although you need to closely moniter it during the cooking to make sure the pressure level is adequate by adjusting the temperature of your burner. Cleaning is easy but sometimes the remains of meat stick on the inner side of the cooker, making it difficult to completely remove.

Honest reviews on WMF Perfect Plus 4-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker

I think I would have been just as happy with one that cost a lot less. I do use this often and I find that 4.5liter is a great size for me considering I am usually cooking for two. It is also a good size for preparing side dishes. If you plan to make huge meals like a whole chicken, or if you're cooking for a family, you may prefer a larger pot.

This is our second pressure cooker of the same kind from WMF. The plastic seal of the first one got loose after 4 years of use.

This product is great!

i wanted paula deen cookware because my neighbor has owned a set for two years and she swears by it! her pots and pans are still incredibly non-stick and they really do look brand new. so I found this GREAT deal on amazon for the purple set and decided to splurge even though my cookware was fine. I am sooooo glad i did! this is way better than my old cookware. the deep purple color is very pretty in my kitchen. I love the rubberized grips on the handles and the lids, they are very comfy! the lids all fit on great. the non stick surface is really worth the price! and my favorite part about them is how light they are! I love not having to strain to get the big pot out of the cabnet. they are very durable too, don't think that because they are lightweight that they are weak.. cuz they are not! I would recomend any paula deen cookware.

I am very disappointed with the teflon interior coating, it is peeling. I received this set for Christmas and I have only used the Rosti basic kitchen tools that came with them, so I don't like that the interior is already peeling. They have all been hand washed, never in the dishwasher. I am very disappointed.

I have been looking for purple pots to match my interior kitchen colors for quite some time. These are perfect! The only thing I would recommend is NOT to put in dishwasher if you would like to keep them looking new and glossy. (one pot went through and not as glossy now). They are wonderful to cook with.

Honest reviews on Paula Deen Traditional Porcelain 10-Piece Set

The pots themselves are solid, thick pots. But although we used plastic spatulas all the time, somehow now, as I write this 16 months later, the frying pan and the big stock pot are headed for the trash. The coating is peeling (obviously unhealthy and unusable). Also the two smaller frying pans do not sit level on the burner. I have to put something under the handle if there's not enough food in it to level it. Which is a problem when you want to pre-heat especially.

Very disappointing for the price and the name that's supposed to be attached. Not a quality product.

These pans are not worth the price in my opinion. There are several reasons I am dissatisfied with them.

1. The color is much darker than shown.

2. The teflon coating came off within 30 days of use (while using utensils designed for teflon!)

3. The handles are too heavy for the pan/pot and they tip off the burners unless they are filled significantly.

All in all I do not recommend this item. Don't waste your money.
