Very nice. Even heat transfer. Nice workmanship but falls a bit short on craftsmanship with rim finishing and lid fitting. Still it is a good value. This is a Viking knockoff, Viking being a 10 this being a 9. I'm a professional chef and the CIA has a solid reputation for culinary knowledge. Viking has a great reputation for making the worlds best cookware. Save your money until you get enough for the original Viking version which will be painfully expensive.

I search long and hard for a large soup pot that was lightweight enough to lift when full of soup or stew. I was not prepared to pay over $100. Found this little jewel and just love it. Very nice looking, easy to clean, good quality aluminum cooking pot. Will consider this as a gift item.

This is one gorgeous pot. I grew up and learned to cook in aluminum and, no, I'm not afraid of getting Alzheimer's from it. Aluminum cooks food steadily, makes it harder to burn, cleans well by hand or dishwasher and is reliable and just about indestructible. This Cajun Dutch Oven is beautiful. The inside and outside shine and haven't dulled yet. The company got it to me faster than expected and in good shape. They even emailed me ahead to be sure I inspected it immediately and found it acceptable! Worth more than I paid for it. Gonna buy from these people again.

This pot wound up being wider than I wanted as it needs to fit more easily into the new Wonder Ovens but I did get it in there and all was well. I have given it to my sister and she is very happy and glad it is light weight and easy to lift when full. The handles are sturdy as it the knob on the lid. Would definately recommend this pot.

Zwilling JA Henckels Spirit Thermolon Saucepan with Lid Review

List Price: $100.00

I have had this Spirit/Zwilling line for a few years, first the three fry pans and now the 4 QT. Comparison is to Le Creuset, All Clad including Excalibur non-stick, Viking, and Joyce Chen lightweight cast iron.

Understand that you are using man engineered stoneware of sorts with all its benefits and faults. They are extremely well engineered and work exceptionally well on induction.

For high heat cooking, these pans can safely get hotter than any other non-stick. I did a side by side on an induction cooktop bridge burner using a laser thermometer. The lightweight cast iron and Spirit heated in approximately the same time (iron a bit faster) to 800 some odd degrees before I called the dogs off... At first I thought the ceramic interior was marred or darkened but time has not yielded an issue. Pizzas at 550% plus convection oven don't damage the pan and slide off as if on a stone. Tip: let your dough rise in a slightly oiled fry pan, smooth the bottom before applying sauce and cheese, heat on stovetop a minute to get pan hot and place in high heat oven. (For those lucky enough to have induction, the dough can rise faster on the hold setting; these pans are also very much like Le Creuset in that they can function as a crock pot overnight.

First tries on non stick yielded poor results for this high heat impatient chef. Eggs require low slow cooking to get that TV slide off ... and it does work! Burnt late night mac 'n cheese sauces clean easily the next morning.

Quality of construction is on par with top brands. The see through glass lid is well made and a nice touch. The shape is slightly taller than some 4qts making it better for a single pasta boil but yielding less browning surface at he bottom of the pan. Interestingly, the glass lid fits perfectly on the 8" fry.. my guess is that the 5qt saute will work with the 12" fry and so on ... a good design feature.

Spirit sears and builds a fond at least 90% as well as traditional stainless and maybe on par. There is no steaming of food. Steaks brown up nicely and gravies are easily made with bits of protein residue in the pan.

They retain heat very very well.. maybe better than cast iron... for both the good and bad of it. Think flatbreads and pan pizza, hot cakes, and even serving dogs at table with a lid so that seconds and thirds are still hot. Truly a baking stone so beware: food will keep cooking if not removed from a very hot Spirit.

They are indestructible. My sharpest knives and metal utensils never leave a scratch. Clean up is a dream. Wrecks and burns happen but water over time will clean anything off a rock. I use a heavy duty Chore Boy cloth (Publix) for these and cast iron woks with excellent results.

Quite heavy. The 4 qt comes in at about 3lbs, 6oz. about one pound heavier than an All Clad 3qt and a pound less than a 4qt Viking WITH the helper handle. Small folks and seniors may have trouble... this pan needs a helper handle! The stay cool Y handles do the job.. my 8" lacks the Y design and gets very hot... the pics on Amazon suggest they have been changed to the Y design but beware. Assuredly, the are much lighter than Le Creuset.

Spirit takes a bit of time to heat, consistent with a baking stone. My induction cooktop brings it to temp quickly but regular tops will take more time. It heats and cools like Le Creuset (or other cast iron) but has better non-stick properties.

There are hints of hot spots in the pans; I perceive that there are more than in other pans but am not certain; this has in no way been a deal killer.

These spirit pieces are increasingly my goto cookware while many more expensive brands sit idle. If I had to buy one set only for a small kitchen or couple just getting started, this would be it, hands down. Also check out the lightweight chinese cast iron from Joyce Chen for seared smoky stir fry... even less expensive pans, albeit with their own set of drawbacks, that also leaves the big boys in the drawers.

I love this pot for cooking rice, refried beans, or any other sticky-type food. I have the Scanpan skillets and was going to purchase a pot in that brand, but happened upon this brand as it was just coming out. The store only had the skillets, so several months later I looked for the pot at Amazon and bought it. It is even much less priced than the same size pot from Scanpan.

I received this pan today and used it to make gravy for dinner. It's the perfect size for making gravy, heating soup, cooking hot cereal for one or two, etc. Initially I was looking for a "butter warmer" and decided to check Anolon Advanced and came across this little pan. Perfect!!

I also own the Anolon Advanced: 3 qt. covered saucepan w/strainer lid; 2 qt. covered saucepan; 1.5 qt covered saucepan (have had these pans for a few months now). These pans are great and worth the money. Water/liquids come to a boil quickly and the pots heat evenly. They are heavy enough where they do not spin around on my glass top range.

I also like the fact that these pans are deeper than the standard saucepan so there is plenty of room if things begin to bubble up a little bit.

One other thing to note: The cover of the 1.5 qt saucepan fits perfectly on the 1 qt. open saucepan so I can use that lid for either of the 2 small pans! Perfect!!

I always hand wash these pans (no effort to cleaning these up) and I do not use metal cooking utensils in them. I don't put the lids in the dishwasher either but I guess one could do so if desired.

I would recommend these pans to my family and friends.

If you need new saucepans and are considering these, do not hesitate.

Purchased in January 2012.The pan is only used to make oatmeal.

Surface looks OK but food began to stick about 1 month ago (Sept. 2012).

Update My wife has oatmeal for breakfast almost every day. It is a pain to clean up. I got her this Anolon non-stick pan (Purchased January 28, 2012). It was used only to make oatmeal. It was only hand washed. After about 4 months it seemed to be less and less non-stick. Surface did and does look fine. I e-mailed Anolon and asked if there was some way to restore the non-stick surface. I thought that maybe cooking oatmeal (with milk) had somehow clogged up the surface. I was told to just send them the pan. I paid the shipping and sent the pan to them. The same pan came back. They said that the warranty was void because we had put it in the dishwasher and damaged the outside surface. Get that, the outside surface. 1) We did not put it in the dish washer. 2) We did not complain about the outside of the pan (which looks the same to me). Not buying any Anolon products ever again.

I've heard some complain that their nonstick surface did not last as long as they would have liked, or that it actually became sticky. Those reading should know that you should only use a nonstick pan for cooking things that require it, like; omlettes, eggs, pancakes, etc. For sautes and normal cooking, you should have another regular (i.e. not a nonstick type) pan. This will ensure that your nonstick pan will last a very long time because you will not be prematurely wearing it down by using it for cooking it was not made for. Sautes cook much better on a regular pan anyway. You should only use plastic or wood utensils on it, never metal. Also, nonstick pans are NOT dishwasher safe! Dishwashers will damage the nonstick surface! Wash your nonstick with a soft sponge and soapy water only.

All Clad is probably the best cookware around. This is due to the layered metal design (and the lifetime warranty). It has stainless steel layers with aluminium in between. This works to evenly distribute the heat (even if you have a nasty electric element stove!) because aluminium is a great heat conductor. Also, this pan has the layers on the sides as well so the heat distribution is quite even.

That said, my feeling is that this pan is too expensive. It's very well made and works well, however for non stick pans, you will see very similar performace in the much cheaper Emerilware nonstick (also made by All Clad). The difference is that the Emerilware nonstick pan does not use any stainless steel. Instead, it uses anodized aluminium. Aluminium is a great heat conductor so this pan will perform just as well, for a much cheaper price. The outside finish may not look as good for as long as a stainless steel finish though so if you care about looks and don't mind spending the money, this All Clad is tops.

The Emerilware one still has the lifetime warranty and is of the exact same dimensions as the All Clad branded one. And I like the handle on the Emerilware even better than the handle on the All Clad.

With this All Clad, you are paying more for the layered stainless steel and aluminium, which require more labor to produce as well as more metel and materials.

Of course the choice is yours. If you want the best and don't mind spending the extra money, this All Clad is tops. If however you want nearly identical performance at a cheaper cost and the same lifetime warranty, the less expensive Emerilware pan would be a better match. I don't think you can go wrong either way!

I've been an owner of All Clad for 15 years. My non-stick fry pan however looses it's teflon coating every 12-24 months along the edges. Probably not good for my health. However, I would simply drop the pan in the mail, send back to All Clad and almost like magic a new pan would be shipped to me within 7 days. Since All Clad was bought in 2004 everything has changed. They give you a hard time about using there famous warranty, and make the process difficult with RMA numbers, having to write something to them and wait to hear from them with a shipping number. It took them 2 weeks just to reply and give me a shipping number. Now they've had my pan for 4+ weeks and they told me it may be another 2 weeks. What's the point of the warranty? I am done with All Clad. Such a bummer.

Judge for yourself.

___________________

Dear Mr. Eisenberg,

We thank you for your email via All-Clad.com. We regret to learn that you have experienced any difficulties with your All-Clad cookware.

From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes any damage resulting from improper use and care. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.

We will be happy to provide a warranty evaluation. Prior to sending in your cookware, please review the following explanation of improper use and care that may have voided your warranty:

Most instances when the non-stick coating has lost its' non-stick properties, it is due to overheating of the pan. Cookware with non-stick coatings should be used on low to medium heat settings. Due to the superior quality of All-Clad cookware the cookware will heat up quicker and retain the heat. One indication that your pan has been overheated is that your non-stick has turned a brown or rusty color. Overheating of the non-stick coating will cause the non-stick properties to break down. As a result you will find that foods are sticking to the cookware. Overheating voids the warranty. You may try to clean the non-stick coating with a mixture of baking soda and mild dish detergent using a soft cloth. Depending on the degree of overheating, this may help return some of the

non-stick performance.

If there are digs, nicks or scratches to the non-stick coating from the use of metal utensils or sharp knives, this will affect the performance of the non-stick and will void the warranty.

Wearing away of the non-stick due to use of abrasive cleaners or scouring pads is not covered under the warranty.

If the non-stick appears to be flaking, but you do not see the stainless steel underneath, this may be due to residual oil build up on the pan. Oils hide within non-stick surfaces in places where they cannot be removed simply with soap and water. These oils burn during subsequent uses and create a layer that food can stick too and also can flake off. Sprinkle a bit of the baking soda into your pan. Add warm water and dish detergent to make a soupy solution. Use a soft cloth, plastic-looped scrubber, or a food-grade nylon scrubbing brush to agitate the debris in a circular motion. Rinse well with cold water and dry thoroughly to avoid spotting.

If you feel that the problem you are encountering is not a result of any of the above use and care issues, we will be happy to provide a warranty evaluation for replacement. Please package the product securely and include a brief note that explains the problem that you are experiencing with the item(s). Include in the note your name and return address. Please also mark the outside of the package clearly with the number 110416-000003. Send the return to the below address.

Honest reviews on All-Clad Stainless 10-Inch Nonstick Fry Pan

This is my most-used pan. My only beef is that the non-stick coating degrades over time. The coating desn't flake off like cheaper immitations, but it does wear away. After a couple of years, it just wasn't working. Frying an egg is the ultimate test of a non-stick. They slide around the pan when the pan is new. I returned it to All-Clad, and they replaced it with a new one. I'm now on my second pan and after another couple of years, it's going the same way. I can't complain about customer service, as they gave me a new pan without any original packaging or a receipt.

I wash the pan by hand and I never use metalic utensils in it. I never use it inside the oven. I think as far as non-sticks go, this is a fine product. I just don't think there is such a thing as a non-stick that can last that long. If All-Clad are happy to keep replacing my pan, then I guess I'll stick with it.

I have many all clad products. Like thousands of dollars worth of pans. When my non stick pans stopped working, i thought "no problem, they are under warranty" i called All Clad, explained the issue, and they sent me a shipping label. I sent in my pans and over six weeks later they return my pans back saying that I must have have used more than the low heat that is stated in the warranty. First of all, hat isnt true. Second, All clad doesnt have spy cams in my house to tell me i am a liar. HORRIBLE customer service. The nonstick pans are an incredible waste of money considering they don't honor the warranty. They lost me as a customer.

Nordic Ware Multi Pot-Color May Vary Review

Customer Ratings:

I just bought one of these less than a week ago, and it is already the most used (and most often fought-over) piece of cookware in my kitchen!

AWESOME little microwave pot with reversible lid can use the lid upright to cover whatever you're cooking it is vented so steam can escape while cooking, but still protects your microwave from splatters (and using a lid helps speed cooking time), AND when your item is done cooking, you can use the vented lid either way (reversible) to drain extra liquid. PERFECT for Raamen noodles, pasta, rice, etc.

The non-stick surface is very easy to clean even when you make microwave eggs (often hard to clean up!) And the handle doesn't seem to get overly hot, so the cooker is easy to handle even right out of the microwave.

After my teen-age son used this the first time, to make TWO packs of Raamen noodles at once, it has been in nearly-constant use ever since, and he said "We need another one of these!" (and he's right I'm glad it's inexpensive so I can grab another one!) He often makes up to 6 eggs at a time, and this is the only container I've found that is absolutely IDEAL for that. (I bought the NordicWare microwave egg/omelet cooker this one: Nordic Ware Microwave Omelet Pan -which is nice for 2 or maybe 3 eggs, but it is not big enough for his 5-6 eggs... he's into weight-lifting/body-building and can eat a LOT!)

Holds up to 5.5 cups, but I don't usually put much more than about 4 cups in there, to prevent boiling over.

Seriously one of the best investments in cookware I've ever made! (and the price is great for such a versatile little pot!) And yes, I will be buying another one very soon. :)

I use this pot to microwave canned veggies (corn, green beans, etc), to cook Malto-Meal and oatmeal and to steam stuff like Brocolli, Cauliflower (cut up, of course) carrots, etc. It's also great for heating soups and sauces.

What surprised me is just how convenient the slotted lid is. I no longer have to put wax paper over my pot to steam stuff in the microwave or to keep stuff from exploding and showering the inside of my microwave with food. The lid also doubles as a strainer and can be used upside down, or upside right... whatever suits the pot's contents best.

The pot cleans up easily and we haven't had anything stain it yet. I recommend it to friends and I bought a second one to keep in our travel trailer.

I've owned this microwave multi-pot for about a year now. I picked it up at the local big-box store because I can't cook rice on the stove to save my life. This pot cooks rice PERFECTLY. It can't do brown rice, just white rice.

My only issue is the lid pops off in the microwave and the water (or chicken broth) bubbles over. I assume its the pressure inside that pops the lid off, even though its vented. I've made sure its on firmly, but it's always hanging off the edge by the time the rice is done.

I've only used it for rice, and oatmeal. The oatmeal wasn't as pretty, thankfully I can cook that on to stove just fine though.

If you agree with "a watched pot never boils" and wander away while waiting for water to get hot enough to cook, then this is what you need! My last boiling disc broke after many years.

This is a foundation set of high quality cookware, suitable for any serious home cook. With stainless steel exteriors over aluminum cores, the pots distribute heat evenly, yet the cooking surfaces are non-reactive. While they do not have non-stick coatings, when used as directed (preheating oil in the pans before adding food to be fried), food usually doesn't stick to the pans, and you certainly don't have to worry about Teflon flaking off into your food. The stainless steel surfaces are also easy to clean.

If you are used to cheaper cookware, there are a few differences with these pots that you will need to get used to. First, since the pots are heavier than single-layer pots, the balance point for pouring a pot with one hand is right up against the pot itself, rather than out along the handle. And since the handles are solid steel, that means you will definitely need to use a pot holder for pouring, although you can usually touch the handles bare handed if you're simply moving the pots around on the stove. Also, the handles for the lids are steel, so you need to use a pot holder just to lift a lid (and remind visitors to do the same, so that they don't burn their hands). While the cookware is made in the Canonsburg, PA, the lids are marked "Made in China."

What could be better? You won't lose them in your drawer (because they stick together magnetically), they're easier to handle and separate easier than spoons connected by a ring, and you can save on clean up because you won't need to use 2 different teaspoons if a recipe calls for, say, 1 teaspoon of this and then another teaspoon of that. You can use the same spoon because there are two separate ends to use. (I should seriously buy stock in Progressive Int'l. They make the best and most useful kitchen items!

A great idea. I bought these about a year ago (an all-white set from Crate and Barrel, but same brand) and tossed out my stainless attached-with-a-ring set. I can grab the spoon I need and not have to wash the whole set. And the oval-shaped end is great for fitting into the mouthes of spice jars. A lovely gift for your favorite baker.

Best Deals for Progressive GT-3470 Measuring Spoon Set, Magnetic, Plastic, 5-Pc.

Trying to get through baking with a single set of measuring spoons had become a pain in the neck. If I needed a teaspoon of something dry after measuring out a teaspoon of something liquid, I had to stop and dry the spoon before using. I decided I needed a second set of measuring spoons -right up until these spoons arrived. Now I don't use my original set because these offer a "dry" and a "wet" spoon for each measurement. Furthermore, the dry spoons are superior to my old set because they are specifically designed to fit the mouth of a small jar, which my old round spoons often failed to accomplish.

The magnetic attachment of the spoons is a nice touch, too, although I'm sometimes bemused to find one of the spoons stuck on another utensil.

Honest reviews on Progressive GT-3470 Measuring Spoon Set, Magnetic, Plastic, 5-Pc.

Oh my god, I will never need another set of spoons ever. Before I got this set, I had three other sets kind of floating around in the utensil drawer. I have since thrown them all out. This is by far the best set of measuring spoons I have ever owned.

First of all, they're magnetic, so they stack neatly in a drawer without taking up any space at all. Even when you're knocking things around, looking for that particular spatula, (as one does) these spoons still remain attached as a set, so you don't ever have to hunt them down. If you need a spoon, you can just pluck one off, you don't have to wrestle a spoon off a 'key ring'. Also, because they stack in order, you can find exactly the spoon you need with no fuss.

Second of all, they're double ended. Big spoon bowl on one end, narrow spoon bowl on the other. The narrow spoon is perfect for spice jars, and having two spoons on one handle has been a total lifesaver. Need to measure 1 tbs of flour and then 1 tbs of corn starch? (*not an actual recipe, just an example, that would make horrible cookies). You don't have to wash the spoon in between, just flip it around! That alone has saved me so much work.

I am immediately buying the cup set. I can already feel my life improving dramatically. I have a new found sense of confidence and I think I may even have lost some weight. :-) Seriously though, these spoons totally rock!

The encapsulated aluminum-disk base is separating from my café' collection 1 qt.sauce pan. It was not high heat that caused it, just poor workmanship. Only a 1/4" spot weld holds the heating base to the bottom of the stainless steel pot. Bad design and this results in one heck of a hot spot, as seen by spot discoloration of the stainless steel pan........ I am a fire fighter and have seen my share of house fire resulting from aluminum pots and pans on the stove, so I stay away from aluminum cookware, The aluminum can, and has melted at stove top temperatures. The encapsulation helps but all the rest of my cookware is copper bottom. Made in China 032008.

While cooking a large pot of spaghetti sauce on the stove top, the lid shattered and glass went everywhere. Not too long after that, the strainer lid also broke. The pots are good, but I would not recommend them because I don't like cooking without the lids.

We purchased this set 2 years ago and have been cooking regularly with all of the pans. In fact, I use the saucepans and saute pan everyday. Small saucepan to make Chai (with milk) every morning; larger saucepan to make broth/soup/steamed vegetables etc. I also cook rice about once or twice a week in the larger pots.

I don't hand-scrub (unless something's burnt, of course) just throw the cookware in the dishwasher. After rather intensive use for the last 2 years, I am completely impressed with how everything is still holding up. They still all look rather new (except if you were to look at the bottoms which have a few spots of brown) and they still work exceptionally well. The glass tops are also excellent.

Going forward, I'd definitely purchase Wolfgang Puck cookware. Reliable, and definitely worth every penny I spent on it.

Honest reviews on Wolfgang Puck 20-Piece Cookware Set

I was origionally looking for a different brand of cookware (we all know the perky cook, with the famous orange cookware), when I came across this set. I was a little nervous as I've come across other sets for this price range that were lightweight, and just unsatisfying. I was super excited when this arrived and I grunted picking it up (not super heavy, just more than what I was expecting). This set is a nice heavy weight, cleans up in a snap. I'm a mother of three and don't have time to sit and do dishes by hand every night, so this go right into the dishwasher and have kept their new look. --others I've had have dulled and clouded when put into the dishwasher. I have even burned some chicken in here (pretty badly I'm ashamed to admit) and it cleaned up in a snap.

If you're looking for a nice, everyday cook set that will last for years, this is the set for you.

I have used my set for years and have always liked it. I always have the right sized pots. The lids work on more than one pot and I have just the right sizes and utensils.

Today while cooking stew the lid exploded while I was just a foot away from it. A minute earlier it would have gotten me in the face. I looked online and found other such incidents. See article: "Glass Cookware Explodes: Lids On Wolfgang Puck Pans Spontaneously Shatter.

I wouldn't buy another set again.

OXO Good Grips 12-Inch Tongs with Nylon Heads Reviews

Customer Ratings:

CI highly recommended these tongs, so I knew they would be quality. I love the pull-lock at the end, and the nylon is great for my non-stick pots and pans. However, the image is very misleading. Upon delivery, I was very surprised to see that instead of red tips, all the nylon pieces were red (the pull-lock, sidings, and tips). Not a deal breaker for me, but I was disappointed. Still very happy with their quality; would highly recommend.

I love these tongs! They are light-weight but still have a sturdy construction. I got them in blue and they look even better than in the picture. The blue nylon tips are very well integrated onto the tongs-no worries of the tips flying off! Also the tongs have a great ergonomic design with well-placed hand grips on each side of the tongs. Very pleased with my purchase!

The only thing I've noticed, I specifically bought the nylon tip tongs so I could use them on non-stick pans. The tips are still quite hard and while it won't scratch your pan like metal tongs would, it's not 100% safe like a silicon tip would be. Depending on what you're doing, you could definitely still gouge a non-stick pan with these tongs. I just pay a little more attention when using any non-stick pans because these tongs are excellent otherwise.

This was a Christmas gift from my daughter's wish list. It is a sturdy pair of tongs with a nice lock for putting in a drawer. She was pleased with it and, as a gift, it was a hit!

Honest reviews on OXO Good Grips 12-Inch Tongs with Nylon Heads

These 12 inch OXO tongs are great! They are one of the most useful utensils needed in the kitchen at least my little kitchen. I have always liked Good Grips' OXO products. They are made well however I'm sure they are not made in America any more. I like the tips with the splash of lime/kiwi green. The push pull lock is very nice too.

I purchased these tongs when I bought my enamel dutch oven didn't want to risk any scratches/chips on that monster. Like everything else OXO I have purchased, these are excellent quality. They feel sturdy, the lock release is stable, and the nylon tips are firm enough to do anything without the worry of scratching up my enamel and non-stick. The 12 inch size is great not so big that you can't handle little tasks and not so small that you pinch/drop/deform bigger items.

I use these tongs every single morning they have become a second set of fingers for me. Highly recommended all the way!

This is exactly what I was looking for a solid, heavy, stable rack for my pots that was exactly the right size for the space. This is an industrial strength and made product there are places where the steel is welded together that might send some to the therapist if they were not interested in having the added strength that these welds provide. This is a seriously heavy pot rack and there is no way it should be installed unless into the joists of the kitchen read the manual carefully. Once installed properly, this is very stable. The grid and hooks that are enclosed are seriously strong, and stay in place when pans are removed from the rack. The simple reason I got this from Amazon was the price. The only complaint was that delivery required a signature, UPS left a note on Tuesday saying they would be returning wednesday between 2 and 6 PM. Circumstances changed and someone was home all the next day yes, UPS showed up at 10 AM I would have missed it and been down to my third delivery chance before the thing was returned to sender next time use FedEx if you can...
