Best Zwilling JA Henckels TWIN Pro-S Classic Parer Deals

While visiting friends in KC, I happened to try their Henckels 4-star knives and was amazed at their sharpness, balance, and comfort. I immediately decided I NEEDED to get a set of these knives.

I quickly settled on the 4-star chef's and fillet knives, but tried paring knife after paring knife without finding one that really felt right. The 4-star handle is great on the big knives (where one grips the handle with the entire hand), but didn't feel right on the paring knife; it felt like my pinky was in limbo, not meant to be on the handle, but not meant to be off it, either.

Then I tried THIS knife. The Pro-S 3" paring knife just felt *right* it fit perfectly, it had just the right heft, and it was far more agile than the longer 4" knives. I've had it for six months and it performs exactly as I expected it to; this knife is just a joy to use.

I love the thing, but you'll probably want to do exactly as I did, trying a number of high-quality knives to find the one that feels right to you.

Henckels is the best quality if you stick to their Pro series. Skip their International line. This paring knife will last forever and fits well in the hands of both me and my much larger housemate. Holds it's edge well. Good tools make the job go well!

I bought this thinking I'd be happier with it than a shorter paring knife, but I think that may have been an error. The blade itself is sharp and cuts nearly anything, but I find I use it minimally. Its too big for any high detail work, where I find myself fumbling and too small for any rougher work, where I endlessly reach for my santoku knife.

Remarkably, the only area I've found it highly effective for me is for sandwich making, where I previously used my santoku and a dinner knife. It can easily work its way through an onion or any other vegetable you'd want on the sandwich and allow for more simple tasks (like spreading condiments, cutting the sandwich, etc.) due to its nice length.

Buyer beware. The item you get is not the item pictured. It's not made in Germany, but rather made in China and it doesn't have the feel of a Professional S knife. Thinner, lighter, cheaper. Not a $50 knife. More like a $10 knife.

I ordered Henckels Pro S 3" paring knife item # 31020-083 received a chinese knockoff item # 31460-081. It said it was a Henckels knife, but it was made in China, have never known of a Henckels knife Made in China. Package was wrong for the product too. Make sure that what you order from this company, MFS Wholesale LLC, is what you will get. I had to ship knife back and get refund. No problem there, but this should not have happened to begin with.

Firstly, this was on sale and low priced compared to the real expensive cookware you can buy. So, i am rating this set and not trying to say it was as good as or better than the high priced sets. My budget doesn't comprehend spending two, three, four or more hundreds of dollars on cookware. These pots are thick enough, they won't warp, appear to heat evenly, and clean up well. they are just what i was hoping for and that makes me happy.

Got this for my mom for mothers day, she said she needed a new pot set and I surprised her with it. She was happy with the set. She was especially happy that the lid for the largest pot fits on the frying pan. Yay.

This set of cookware far exceeds my expectations and were an excellent buy at the price I paid. I absolutely and totally love them. They clean easily and the small stew type pan with handles on both sides is my very favorite! Just right for a small family pot of chili or stew I am completley happy and more than satisfied with this purchase!

Honest reviews on Brentwood Aluminum Non-Stick Cookware Set 9-Piece Set

I've had these for 2 months and they are great. When I bought them 2 months ago, they were $40 (now $20 at time of writing), and are well worth that price. They are NOT flimsy or at all bad craftsmanship like I was afraid a cheap set would be.

The only 2 downsides that they have are:

(1) The biggest pot and the frying pan share the same lid (you only get one). Which is not actually a big deal. I only ever use one at a time anyway and I rarely use the big pot, so... :-)

(2) The screw that secures the handle to the pot (on all containers with 1 long handle, as opposed to the 2 side paddle handles), the screw is recessed within a small cave. As such, when you wash them in the dishwasher (upside down), water pools there and causes minor rust to the screws. Minor. I'm no cook, so maybe that's normal, but I would have liked a drainage hole, which I suppose you could do yourself with a small drill bit.

All in all? If these broke after only 1 year (which I highly doubt they would, they're pretty solid), but if they did, I'd buy a second set. From one bachelor to another, they're great. In fact, they'd probably even be high enough quality for a woman. Gasp!

Unlike the other review, my Tagine arrived well-packed, so Amazon seems to have conquered the shipping & breakage problem. The fig color is a nice offset to the appearance of the food inside. It was hard to decide on which color to order, but now that I have this one, I'm pleased with the decision. I highly recommend "The New Book of Middle Eastern Food" by Claudia Roden as an accompaniment to the tagine. Her book has excellent recipes made from ingredients available in US markets. Many of the recipes, especially the pilafs, can be made in a tagine. This is a nifty way to make a main-dish dinner for the family, or to put an exotic flair to a dinner shared with friends. Rather than some new gadget that seldom gets used, this can become a regular favorite in the kitchen. Looks good sitting on the stove, too.

You get what you pay for. That's what they say and that holds true for this high quality utensil. Not having cooked in the North African manner, it's taken us a while to learn the little techniques that make a dish just right. This slow/steaming method of cooking brings meat to tender perfection. We've learned to add vegetables during the later part of the process to avoid a mushy result. Spices add definition. Moroccan families often have their own spice recipes that are usually combinations of common spices with maybe an unusual ingredient or two. But adding common spices, according to recipes, will still yield a tasty result. More individualized creations will take experimentation and time.

It is difficult to judge the size of the utensil from pictures. It turned out to be larger than we expected and is really too large for cooking for two. It is rated as a six quart tagine. I would say that it easily cooks a dish for four people and maybe even six. This could be rated for five stars but I put it at four since the capacity is more than we need.

My Emile Henry "Figue" Tagine arrived promptly and well packaged. It is gorgeous, and now, regally stationed upon a stainless steel throne of a stove...sitting there, waiting patiently for me to use it for something, everything actually. So far, used it for an Ethiopian feast. Tonight, fresh, ocean salmon in a Moroccan Style. Tomorrow, perhaps a vegetable frittata. I'm totally enchanted!!! So enthralled that I ordered and received the larger, black one and now when I gaze into my kitchen, I'm filled with INSPIRATION!

Honest reviews on Emile Henry Flame Top 2.6 Quart Tagine, Figue

This tagine is beautiful and appears well made. It is an almost brown purple. It definitely makes a main dish to serve 4-6 adults. I cooked 2 delicious & easy dishes using recipes from Tagines & Couscous by Ghillie Basan. Unfortunately during the second cooking, 25 minutes total on low heat on a gas stove, it cracked!

I followed the manufacturer's directions to prepare it "bring a small amount of milk to a boil, pour it into the bottom of the tagine and let cool."

Both the product description on amazon & in the pampflet accompanying the tagine say you can use it directly on a gas flame without a diffuser. I would recommend using a diffuser anyway. I used one for the first dish I made because it cooked for 2 hours. The lamb I made was incredibly tender and succulent, and it was cheap stew meat, so the tagine worked as it should, until it didn't.

I've returned and reordered. I will update after using the new one a few times.

***update...I have received my replacement and have cooked 2 tagines since. 1 at low heat for 2 hours and 1 at high heat for 30 minutes. With both I used an inexpensive diffuser I bought on amazon. No problems and succulent, tender meat both times. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is that I feel I have to use a diffuser, yet the product is marketed as not needing one.

I was worried when I read reports of cracking, but I searched high and low and didn't find a better stovetop-capable tagine available for sale at any price. So I bought it, and prepped as specified in the instructions by pouring in hot milk and letting it cool.

I've used it twice and so far the results have been stunning! I love the way it slowly cooks things on low or medium heat. Onions turn in just a few minutes into the most beautiful softest most scrumptious ones I've ever seen. Meat and chicken cooks slowly and evenly and ends up moist and tender.

The size is just right to cook for four people--or to cook for one with a few days of leftovers. The size has been good for everything I've made so far from Paula Wolfert's The Food of Morocco, which I've also reviewed.

The tagine is beautiful to look at and I'm glad I chose the figue color which is deep and rich and more understated than the red or blue--which are also beautiful as I have these colors in lasagna pans and meatloaf pans. The material is easy to clean--a couple times it got a little crust on it where the meat browned but it came off easily.

Note on Sept. 26, 2: I am revisiting this review after six months of use and my opinion hasn't changed. I've used it a couple dozen times and results are perfect every time, and tagine has not cracked even on medium heat and occasionally on high. (Mostly there's no reason to go past medium when cooking a tagine, so I haven't tested on high often). If it ever cracks or wears, I will post an update!

I love Le Creuset products and this one is no exception. When the box arrives, you will see that it says 30 CM/11 3/4" inches in diameter. While under the actual pan itself it does say 12" inches as the Amazon description states, measured, the actual cooking space is 11 3/4". Also, it is not mentioned anywhere on the box or instructions but going on the Le Creuset website, I found that both the pan and splatter guard are made in China. For those that prefer an American/European made product (as I do but it is hard nowadays to not have an Asian made product somewhere in your home), this may not be for you. The construction of the pan is great. It is heavier than my 13" All Clad Stainless Steel non-stick pan and I love the fact that this pan is thicker than any other pan in its class. The sides are 1/4" in thick which results in superior heat retention with no hot spots. I have used Anolon, Circulon, All-Clad etc and (with the exception of select cast iron cookware) no other brand that I have seen/used makes their product this thick. I use induction and this pan heats up so quickly, that high heat is not necessary and use of high heat voids the warranty. For those of you that like a pan that you can start on high right off the bat, stay away! The pan is oven compatible to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and you can purchase a glass lid for this pan for $25 on the Le Creuset website. The splatter guard is solid and not flimsy resulting in a perfect job of catching oil. The instructions say metal utensils can be used, but scratches coming from using metal utensils void the warranty. Also, there is a seasoning process that is done prior to you using the pan for the first time and for those that like to use the dishwasher on their cookware, it is advised to do this seasoning process after every dishwasher cleaning session to maintain the non-stick.

needed a large skillet and a new splatter guard. this does the trick. distributes heat well and cleans up beautifully. the dual opposing handles are a good idea; otherwise, i probably wouldn't be able to lift a full skillet. my only disappointment is in trying to find the lid that fits it. it needs both a lid (preferable see-through) and a splatter guard to be the perfect product.

This is a very smart design. It folds up flat and takes up a lot less space than the traditional circular toaster. The cooking grid heats up rapidly, much like a camp heater. Your toast will be done in no time with this gadget. And the plastic bag insert and little carry pouch make using this a breeze. I highly recommend this product.

This toaster is quite practical, easy to store and fast at toasting. It's convenient for toasting one piece at a time.

The design is nice, somewhat slick. Also, it comes with a convenient case to store it.

However, the one that I've got looks like a return... the cut on the grid is badly done, and the structure is too loose ...it doesn't quite stay 'unfolded'.

We've gone through a number of other camp toasters -the kind that hold multiple pieces of toast at angle -and always been disappointed; they took forever to toast and we actually had problems with heat reflections warping our (cheap) camping stove. I bought this on a lark and was amazed.

The GSI toaster holds a single slice but can toast 4 pieces faster than the competition holding 4 slices at once -we've compared on the same stove. It does a better job diffusing heat, so no stove parts warping and paint peeling. It's just better. The one downside is you have to watch your toast carefully to avoid burning it.

Also, we've noticed that the steel mesh on the bottom appears to be hand-cut and might not be perfectly smooth along the side.

This is a great device. We've bought 2.

I have a 2 burner propane range in the galley of my sailboat. This little toaster is the latest add, and perfect. It folds absolutely flat and stows away in the smallest of spaces.

The bottom of the toaster is draped with a fine metal screen which dissipates the direct heat of the propane flame. The bread actually is toasted by the heat from the glowing red metal screen. The toaster holds 1 slice at a time, no more, no less. The flip out handle didn't get hot and allows for easy repositioning of the toaster.

You have to flip the slice of bread, obviously, but it doesn't take too long. I tried it the other day for the first time and it worked really well. I love the smell of toast in the morning :)

The edge of metal screen on the toaster has some sharp edges that could catch on things, so I make sure to put it back in the little canvas pouch that came with it, to hopefully prevent it from tearing.

Over the years, I have bought several "non-stick" griddles, but those coatings always turn gummy, flake off, and don't clean well. Finally, I came to my senses and realized cast iron doesn't flake, is truly non-stick, cleans with hot water, and if it turns gummy, a little re-seasoning always fixes the problem. I love cast iron; love the shiny black non-stick surface that develops over time. Food always tastes great on iron, also. But I had never had a piece of pre-seasoned cast iron, so I was a bit skeptical about skipping the seasoning routine. The griddle got a good hot-water-only rub down out of the box, a generous coating of oil, and set on the stove to preheat for pancakes. The first one stuck just a little, but that was a temperature problem. All the rest of the pancakes were perfect no sticking at all! And they were actually fluffier and had a crispier crust than usual, while the insides were oh-so-tender. Best pancakes ever! If this griddle cooks this well straight out of the box, I can't wait till it develops that beautiful shiny black patina!

Don't wait as long as I did: order this griddle soon! You really can use it immediately, and like all good cast iron, with proper care, it will last a lifetime!

It will last you a lifetime and more with proper care!

I have lots of cast iron, mostly Lodge.

I was contemplating getting the wider Lodge grill Lodge Logic LPG13 Pro 20-by-10-7/16-Inch Cast-Iron Grill/Griddle (the one that's good for straddling two burners -that one measures 20" by 10.5"), but decided on just the single one (10.5" by 10.5"). I use the smooth side for pancakes and crepes, and recently started using the grill side for steaks and chicken.

I used to use my skillet for steaks (a la Alton Brown), but I just love the grill marks. Especially since the grill of this Lodge piece goes diagonally, I put my steaks (and chickens and pork chops) at a straight 90 degree angle. While I normally cook my steaks by letting it sit there for about a minute (on high, of course), with this grill, I've gone to moving/rotating the steak another 90 degrees. It gives it that great criss-cross pattern (hey, part of good tasting food is good looking food).

With my steak sizes, I can only cook 1 steak at a time. Not really a problem since it takes me only two minutes or so per steak (rare to medium rare).

If you want a bigger area that straddles two burners, get that version instead (and, at the time of this writing, the other one which is twice the size is only a scant few dollars more; great value!). For me, this is perfect. Basically, choose your weapon. :)

I got this for a friend who goes through the electric deep fryers like toilet paper. He loves this deep fryer. I holds just the right amount of food. It does not take up any precious counter space. And it works perfectly.

Just purchased this a couple of weeks ago and used it for the first time last night. The food came out crisp and not at all oily. However, you gotta be careful with this one.

The clip that lifts the basket while draining will drip hot oil onto your stovetop. We had a slight flame up which I wasn't expecting, but was able to blow out quickly.

The handle will not stay in place. Every time my husband or I tried to dump the food out, the handle collapsed. He thought it was my technique so he tried and same thing happened. Yes, we had both locked the handle into place.

You do have to be careful of your oil level.

I don't think I will let my teenagers use this pan and I will probably go ahead and find a machine to use instead.

Stainless pot, chrome-plated basket. I like the basket design with the integrated handle. The whole thing folds up so the lid can be placed over basket, handle, and all for storage. Looks well made in general.

Two quarts of oil is almost too much without it bubbling over when submerging the basket with 1.5lbs of fries. With 2qts of oil the level just reaches the bottom of the basket in the raised position.

Not too much to say here. I bought this to make french fries, onion rings, etc. It stayed nice and hot once the oil was up to temperature and the basket handle didn't get too hot when the food was ready to comeout. It might serve as a backup pot of some kind but, for the price, I think I'll just keep it as a deep fryer and leave it at that. Recommended!
