Diamond Plus 11" Square Grill Pan Reviews

Diamond Plus 11' Square Grill Pan
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
Bought the Woll Diamond Plus set and added the grill pan to my order. I had preferred the assortment offered by Swiss Diamond but was scared off by too many negative reviews which included poor customer service. Woll was absolutely worth the extra cost as it looks like they will last forever. Getting great results with all types of food types that I have tried. The pans tolerate high heat well, show absolutely no sign of abrasion with metal utensils and the clean up is fast and easy. "Greenpan" ads demonstrate cleanup as just as easy on the cooking surface, but Woll has the same non-stick coating on the outside as on the inside and the pans are heavy enough that it doesn't feel you're cooking with a child's toy set. The bottoms have a flat, grooved and polished disk which is kinder to the pan and kinder to the burner rack than the diamond embedded cooking surface would be.

Very glad I got rid off every other pot and pan I collected over the years other than two high capacity stockpots.

I think the extra cost was equalled by the value of the product. Would have been wonderful had thee been available years ago. Would have saved me from investing in at least three inferior cooksets.

I wanted a very large pot to make batches of homemade soup for freezing and for cooking dozens of ears of corn at the summer cookouts. This pot suits my purpose. It is a beautiful, heavy duty stainless steel. It may be a little bit pricey especially since you have to purchase the lid seperately, but this pot gets an A+ for quality.

Good Cook Set Of 3 Non-Stick Cookie Sheet
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

These are OK they get the job done but they are not great. They warp every other time they are in the oven, which does not fill me with confidence. Also, I have had these baking sheets for about 2 years and they have started to rust. Water collects in the rolled edge and can't escape fast enough to have it dry instead of rust. Luckily I'm getting married soon and can register for a new set of more heavy-duty baking sheets to replace these.

I bought 2 of these sets hoping to replace too many old and mismatched ones that don't stack and take too much of my limited cupboard space (I can't afford a kitchen remodel). HOWEVER, DESPITE WHAT ANOTHER REVIEWER SAID, these cookie sheets ARE DEFINITELY NOT `heavy duty' so they didn't keep their shape or withstand higher baking temperatures or prevent burning. I realized that even at such a bargain price THEY'RE NOT WORTH OUR MONEY IF WE NEED TO REPLACE THEM TOO SOON DUE TO WARPING, OR WE NEED TO BUY AN ADDITIONAL BETTER SET FOR HIGHER TEMPERATURES, OR IF THEY SABOTAGE/BURN OUR BAKED GOODS because this also wastes our valuable time and energy to prepare the dish, plus the food and the money we spent to buy it all, and the wasted energy to run the oven. My second paragraph details my bad experiences but the actual baking results were bad enough that I'm saving up to replace these after only one use. I have 1 Wilton non-stick baking sheet that REALLY IS heavy duty, it has remained flat and sturdy even at high temperatures, hasn't overcooked or burned the bottom of what I've baked, and has even remained non-stick and easy to clean. I'm hoping that a new Wilton set will be as heavy duty and made as well as my old one because I've finally learned that it's far wiser and cheaper in many, many ways to pay more for GOOD cooking and baking tools that will last and function well for decades.

My experience was: 1The largest of these sheet pans had both warped when I was merely greasing them to season them, BEFORE I had even put them into the oven for the first time (YES, even non-stick pans needs seasoned before their first use). The middle sized ones warped in the oven the very first time I used them and my jelly-roll came out too lop-sided (I'm surprised it didn't spill over the edge and make a big mess in the oven). 2I was concerned that each of these pans weighed less than any of my other equally sized sheet pans because the weight (and material) of a pan makes a significant difference in heat absorption and heat distribution. So, although I took the precautions of pre-heating the oven and rotating my pizza's and biscuits on the oven racks ½ way through the baking time, the bottoms were STILL nearly too burned to salvage. 3I think it won't be too long before the first two reviewers have their pans warp or realize that inadequate pans contributes to their baked goods coming out overdone or burned on the bottoms due to chincy pans. 4Like too many persons nowadays, I'm also on a limited budget and I took a gamble to try to stretch my money, so it's worth repeating that I've finally learned it's far, far wiser AND CHEAPER IN MANY WAYS to wait wait until I can afford to invest in genuinely good, durable and well made cooking and baking tools that will last and keep functioning well for decades.

You gotta love Amazon for insuring that you can usually find exactly what you're looking for at a reasonable price and delivered within a couple of days!

These pans are no exception. I was getting tired of seeing my wife contnuing to use some older pans that were really getting ratty. So I jumped on Amazon and found these... had them in my hands in two days, and my wife is no longer having to scrape away the food remains from teflon that was so old it no longer acted like Teflon!

Very nice simple non-stick pans that should last for a good while. Recommended!

I previously got pretty excited about a smaller piece of ceramic cookware from another maker and gave it a 5 star review after using it only a few times. If I had waited a bit, I would have downgraded it to 4 stars because it did show some signs of wear after a relatively short period of use, although the flaws in the finish did not have any discernible effect on the functionality of the pan. In any case, I decided to wait before reviewing this Vinaroz product and I'm very happy to report that after intensive use it still looks brand new and there are no blemishes of any kind in the finish, contrary to the experience of another reviewer who only gave it 4 stars. [I use a relatively soft bamboo spatula to stir the food with.] And while on the subject of other reviewers, I am in agreement with the reviewer who wrote that there was no need to season the pan as opposed to the reviewer who said that one must always season ceramic cookware. I did not season my wok and it works perfectly, almost magically. I'm very enthusiastic about this pan and will be giving them for Christmas presents. The low price and superb functionality is a great combination.

I got this pretty quickly after I ordered it, and it works great. It's simple to clean, great for frying, and is all-around amazing. At least, the first few times I used it.

However, the particular wok I received had several flaws in the ceramic on the bottom. After I burnt some rice in the bottom, I noticed it had settled into some cracks and grooves and stained the bottom. There were also several flaws in the chrome finish when I received it. It's still beautiful and functional, but I worry about how well it will hold up in the future with these little mistakes. Had it arrived in perfect condition, I'd be far less wary.

As it's ceramic, you shouldn't use any metal utensils in it to avoid scratching the finish. I've been using bamboo exclusively since I received it.

Best Deals for Vinaroz Die Cast Aluminum wok with Ceramic Coating 30-Cm

I own a restaurant so I have experience with many types of cookware. I got this because I needed a new wok for personal use, and the ceramic coating was interesting. The cheap price made me pause but I got it anyway. Fast delivery. I've used it for three, four months on average twice a week or less. What I do like: The non-stick surface is pretty good, not as good as professional Teflon, but OK. Cheap. Heats up fast. Nice grippy handle. Works like a wok.

What I don't like. The white cooking surface. Everything shows. Makes it look unsanitary. Definitely have to use cooking oil, esp if eggs are involved. Every little brown, black, yellow bit shows up. Worst of all, the coating is not durable. I don't wash mine promptly after each use so it may sit on the counter, or in the sink for a while, but I never pile dishes in it, and have only used plastic to stir. STILL mine has many many scratches and a few dings. The white surface is discoloring too. All this after not much use.

Summary: I like it, BUT the lack of durability is a deal breaker and I would not recommend this brand. I think I will try a more expensive ceramic coated wok.

So far so good.

We love this pot but were a bit surprised by the size when we unpacked it. If you read the description it states it's 18" and this is just baffling. With the handle it's about 20". Without it's about 12". That makes for a pretty small wok so don't plan on cooking for 6 or maybe even 4 in this pan.

Despite the small size it's really nice. The aluminum construction makes it feather light and the ceramic coating is really great. Nothing sticks. We don't cook with oil if we can help it, maybe use a shot of Pam and this wok is excellent for that kind of cooking.

Highly recommended. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is we've only owned it 2 days and can't speak for its durability yet.

I purchased this based on the photo and description of product. You cannot tell on the photo but there is a sizable handle on one side. The description states it is 12" so it should have fit in my Convection oven but it does not. The label says it is 12.25" and when I measured it actually comes up to 13" which will not fit in my convection oven. A little tired with Amazon telling me to drop off another box at a ups drop off box which is in a completely different town because of incorrect descriptions. The size should have been better noted so it wouldn't have been ordered in the first place.

Honest reviews on Hamilton Beach 25451 Indoor Grill with 85-Inch Cooking Surface

Hi, I bought this grill because I was looking for one requiring minimal storage capacity. Not a lot of grill plates, compact, etc. This grills very well and I am pleased in that regard. However, it is supposed to close for upright storage, but the latch on the left side has already broken. The knob on the right side works (but if you crank it too much, the piece the knob is attached to starts to come off the handle) so the thing sort of closes....it's kind of half open on one side because of the latch. Disappointing since this is the main reason I bought this model, and for that reason I gave it two stars (and that is being generous).

I am in love with this! We bought a foreman to replace an old one and when I was doing the prewash thing... the teflon began coming off... I took it back! This one has been holding up beautifully! I use it to make everything from pork chops to cheese burgers to roasted peppers! It is really easy to use! The only problem I had had is if you have something super juicy, like my hamburgers, sometimes the juices will run out the back of the unit, not a lot, but enough where you have to wipe the counter. My foreman was waaaaaay messier though!

Lodge CRS15 Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Skillet, 15-inch Review

This pan is the same design and manufacture of the smaller 8", 10" and 12" Carbon Steel pre-seasoned skillets from Lodge. Formerly only producing cast iron-only cooking utensils, Lodge adds these carbon steel pans which are a hit with professional chefs already and will add to your cookware collection with great benefits.

This 15" pan mimics the Spanish-style Paella pan with the wide cooking surface and sloped, shallow sides, making it easy to sautee meats and vegetables. The two handles make it easy to carry from stove to table for direct serving.

Heat the skillet slowly, add a generous amount of cooking oil (I have started using only light olive oil or EVOO and sometimes with a combination of a pat of butter; Do not use spray...the soy lecithin leaves that nasty, brown gunk-like residue) and enjoy a great pan. Wash with hot water and a brush. Try not to use dish detergent unless absolutely needed and for goodness sakes, keep it out of the dishwasher. Re-heat the pan on the stove, drop some light olive oil (or flax oil) in the pan, get it hot, wipe it down with a paper towel and let it cool. The pan's seasoning will continue to develop over the years, just like the cast iron pans.

I purchased this skillet through Amazon's MyHabit site. I was happy with it taking it out of the box and anxious to use it, but unfortunately mine arrived warped. The center is convex shaped, rising above the outside edges. All oils and liquids run to the edges and pool there, scorching what is in the center. After three attempts to cook various things with it, I've deemed it unusable because it is impossible to heat evenly and, therefore, cook evenly. Maybe I just received a lemon. Too bad.

We grilled veggies on this pan this weekend. Some grill seasoning, fresh herbs, basalmic vinegar, olive oil and voila! This pan sizzled and brought out all their awesome flavors. The pan is large enough for a crowd, or we put enough on for about 4 people and there was plenty of room to spare. Of course, you need good oven mitts to take it off the grill as it will be very hot. I always look for versatility when I buy my kitchenware and this pan meets my standards! I can use it on the grill, in the oven or over a camp fire. Roomie enough for meat and veggies for a one skillet meal. For my oven, the pan is a bit large for one burner, but it could be done--but why cook on the stove when you can use your grill?

I was looking for a pan to replace my non-stick frying pan because of the research I have seen that shows the non-stick surface is a health hazard. I have used cast iron in the past, but even seasoned, cleaning was difficult it seemed. This pan cleans easily with a stiff brush. I cooked scrambled eggs and didn't get to clean the pan until it was cold. I put a little water in the pan, heated it just 3-4 minutes, used the stiff brush, and good as new!

I read that spraying with Pam was a good idea before each use, and I have done that.

I am definitely going to be buying more of these pieces,

As a professional chef I run across all sorts of products that are supposed to be the next best thing since sliced bread. However, this pan just so happens to be the next best thing, and I picked it up at my local Le Gourmet Chef in Hagerstown, MD.

Simply put the ultra smooth non-stick surface is smoother than glass; thus cooking requires little if no oil and clean up is a breeze with a simple rinse and wipe. As long as you stay away from aerosol sprays you will have an enjoyable experience with this cookware or any cookware for that matter. If you must spray in your oil then I suggest you buy an oil mister because spraying from a can simply adds residue that ruins pans and takes away from the flavor of your food after buildup occurs. The best feature for all you home chefs is that this pan is 100% DISHWASHER SAFE! It's also oven safe to 500 degrees.

The clear glass cover rounds out the entire package deal and is equally easy to clean. It's nice to be able to cover your pan while cooking and still see what is happening inside without lifting the lid and loosing heat or worse causing a steam burn. Last but not least, the cookware is guaranteed for life, so what are you waiting for, go get one and start something new and exciting in the kitchen!

The difference between my old nonstick cookware (Culinary Essentials brand purchased at Costco over 10 years ago) and this Calphalon Unison cookware is like night and day. The food cooks evenly and absolutely does not stick. The pan is weighty without being too heavy and the handles stay cool. The glass lids are also nice. This Unison cookware is one of the few choices that is dishwasher safe and guaranteed for life, a selling point for me. So far,though, I've hand washed it. A few seconds is all it takes to come clean.

I'm afraid I have to agree with others who have had bad experiences with these pans. Calphalon sent me one of these as a replacement for a Calphalon One Nonstick (what they previously called this line, which, before that, was called Commercial Nonstick) that didn't hold up well in heavy use, but not abuse.

I was shocked to see imperfections in the surface right out of the box, but figured if they were only cosmetic, I'd put up with it (though this never happened with Calphalon "back in the day"). But the nonstick surface has been scratching off when used with soft plastic utensils at medium-low heat.

Maybe there's a lot of variation in quality, now, but these pans (now made in China) are not what they used to be. Not even close. And if you get a bad one, it's really junk! Not remotely the quality that I used to associate with Calphalon.

If they keep replacing every bad pan, they may be able to keep some customers coming back for more, but they'll eventually go out of business. How does the higher profit (bottom line) of low labor cost hold up when the revenue (top line) dries up? Calphalon isn't the only American company making this mistake. The problem is not *who* or *where* the product is being manufactured, it's the level of quality that the company is not getting, but *could* if they were willing to pay for it (I know for a fact that there are outstanding facilities in China that make products that are just as good as products made anywhere else at any cost). This greedy drive for profit will backfire, and we'll all be the worse for it.

Sad to say, I don't buy or recommend Calphalon anymore. I don't know if they really deserve only one star, but I felt it was important to bring the average down as a warning to others.

I love the design of this. Being one piece, entirely coated in silicone is awesome.

While this does a great job, I wish it had a longer handle. It has an effective length that's about an inch shorter than it looks. The metal inside the silicon stops a little bit before the hole, so the end of the handle is flimsy.

Otherwise, it's great, but it bugs me enough that I will probably try a different one next time. It's a quality spatula so it will be a while, but I should enjoy this one well enough.

Light weight but solidly constructed, nothing rattles feels like the kettle is well put together. Could go into details about the spun metal construction, the aluminum plate at the bottom for more efficient transfer of heat, and how the handles and spout are spot welded to the main body of the kettle. But all that is just frivolous detail, though as is how the lid opening is rolled round and inward and you really have to feel around the rolled metal to find the edge which is rather smooth. It's a solid kettle and should stay that way unless it gets kicked or tossed about like a football.

Relatively easy to clean and fill with the removable lid, though a smaller hand than mine would make interior washing a bit easier. THAT feature is a plus for me as I like to be able to wash and inspect the inside of the kettle and make sure nothing is building up in there.

Seems to heat fast in spite of the large capacity, packaging claims it can be used on all stoves. Gas, electric, ceramic etc, so the kettle is compatible with any stove, no troubles there.

I've poured out a quart and a half of boiling water from this kettle, you should not have to worry about running out of hot water for your friends/co-workers unless there are a LOT of them, or they're VERY thirsty.

The only major knock against this kettle is that the handle gets hotter than hell while it's heating up on the stove, use a towel or oven mitts when taking this kettle off the boil otherwise you're going to get hurt, you've been warned.

The kettle comes with it's own nifty whistle/air raid siren. You will have NO trouble hearing it. Your going to know when the water is boiling, your family is going to know it, your neighbors and people passing by on the street are going to know the water is boiling as well. I rather like the whistle/air raid siren thing, as I tend to set it on the stove and forget it, which could be bad if the whistle wasn't so loud. I usually zip downstairs and turn the stove off before the whistle/siren cranks up to full blast and alerts everyone I'm making some tea. Whistle is obviously removable so you can boil water without waking the family or alerting the neighbors that you are doing so. Just don't misplace the whistle, it isn't attached to the kettle and you might need it someday should there be an air raid.

Good tea kettle, solid construction, heats up fast for its size, nice large capacity, easy to clean and comes with that nifty siren/whistle to remind you that, yes, you've put the kettle to boil. Rather expensive but I do not regret shelling out the extra shekels for the kettle.

I love the style of this teapot. I heat up water for tea or coffee daily, so wanted something that would look nice sitting on stove. The little loop on the end of the spout becomes too hot to handle, so you need a hot mitt in order to open it for pouring. After less than 30 days it developed a leak around the bottom seal. For the price, I would definitely expect better quality.

I finally found a tea kettle that would work on my new Induction stovetop! I wanted more of a classic, rectangular shape and was a bit hesitant, but the round shape really does look great. I must warn you, the whistle on this kettle sounds like 10 fire alarms screaming. I removed mine so as not to alert my neighbors. Very nice product!
