Cheap Reco White Baked Bean Pot

Reco White Baked Bean Pot
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

The pot arrived right away and was put to use immediately. The beans baked up well and the pot was quite easy to clean afterwards. It is also just the right size.

The size is very good, about one-half the "standard" large bean pot. The shape is usual and it's nice to have a white pot. The drawback is the "handles" and knob on the lid. They are MUCH too small to be useful when picking up the pot using pot holders or mitts. To take it out of the over you must get a good grip on the body of the pot NOT the handles. If you try the handles using mitts your hands will simply slip off. The same for the lid.

Outstanding for the purpose, but need potholders to carry it (even by the small handles) once things are cooked.

I was going to buy this, during the gold-box deal, but went to another web site selling it for $140 not on sale and found it was made in China and that the bottom is aluminum.

After a few of the comments I received I went to All Clad and they told me if I was concerned about it being made in the USA then buy the D5 line, haven't looked at that yet as I was just looking at gold box this morning. They told me they monitor the products made in China if that makes any one feel better.

A very nice sized pot, good for steaming and cooking pasta without having to use a much larger pot (I've got their stock pot, but it is a monster). IT IS INDUCTION CAPABLE since a magnet will stick to the bottom (but not the sides).

Owning the D5 Set of pots and pans gives me an appreciation that this set isn't as well built so I took off a star given that the prices is still steep for the All Clad name. The set is I'm sure going to last me and performs well. I just don't see the quality I see in the other products I own from All Clad, but understand I could have shelled out more and got a D5 equivalent. I didn't. I'm displeased as well that this is not USA made. Foreign import and the workmanship shows it. However, it goes to the price I paid.

I cannot review the performance of this item because I returned it unused. The reason I returned it is that it is too big for my needs and my storage space. At this time, the dimensions on the product page are stated as 8.2 x 8.0 x 5.3. The only way I can get any measurement near 8" is by measuring the area on the bottom of the pot that touches the stove. The top rim of the pot is about 10.25" in diameter and measuring from handle-to-handle is about 13.5". From top to bottom with both inserts and the lid, the stack is about 10" tall if you store the lid inverted. It is a really nice set and the tongs are wonderful, too. If I had a large family and a bigger kitchen I am sure I would enjoy this. I am a fan of All-Clad, but this set is just not right for me.

Changing the blade was a very simple process. If you don't have a retainer nut wrench and don't want to buy one it is possible to use a pair of pliers to remove the retainer nut (the large metal ring on the bottom of the container).

Here's how:

You will notice that the retainer nut has two raised portions with a gap between them.

1. Get a pair of medium sized pliers.

2. Open them all the way.

3. The jaws should sit nicely in the retainer nut gaps.

4. Grasp the handles and turn counter clockwise while aligning the jaws in the gap.

5. This should loosen the retainer nut. ( Mine was not very tight at all)

The directions that come with the replacement blade are very good. Basically once you have removed the retainer nut you will grasp the blade from the inside of the container with a cloth and pull it out. Clean anything dirty then reassemble in reverse. Drop in new assembly, lightly oil threads and secure retainer nut.

During the assembly and reassembly process it is necessary to secure the container. I found it easy enough to put it on the ground and lock the container with my knees. I felt it was all pretty easy but this assumes a basic amount of coordination and being comfortable with hand tools. Good luck.

works as well as the original. I tried replacing the bearings and seals in my old blade assembly, which requires a press (you can use a vise) and collets (I used sockets) but the new seals didn't last and then the bearings got corroded and it was a mess. Plus, sourcing the bearings and seals took a while. If you go that route yourself, DO NOT pound anything apart, USE A PRESS or you will peen the heck out of the components and nothing will want to go back together. Don't ask me how I know, I'm still traumatised about it.

If you aren't certain what's wrong with your Vitamix then call them FIRST. The tech that

we talked to was able to diagnose our Unit OVER THE PHONE. You must have a speaker

phone, but their techs are spot on.

Make Certain YOU GET THE WRENCH and don't tear up your unit just replacing

the blade assembly. I was tempted, but decided against it.

After removing the old blade assembly and spinning it and comparing it with

the new assembly it was no mystery what was wrong. The inner bearings had started

to seize up. If we had kept trying to use the old assembly it was have burned

out the motor and that would have been big bucks.

This is easy to install if you have the screwdriver for the blender. You can get the screwdriver for about $15 bucks. It takes about 4 minutes to change the blade and requires a bit of muscle to get the old blade out but no mechanical know-how.

Review of Rack It Up Oval Pot Rack

Enclume MPO-01wg RACK IT UP Oval Ceiling Pot Rack
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

This pot rack is very nice quality and easy to install. However the picture on Amazon's page shows it without the interior grid and suggests that people who bought the rack also purchased the grid and ceiling trim covers. The rack DOES come with the grid but we did need the trim covers. The trim covers are very important since it makes for a much nicer finish. Amazon was very quick to take care of our "extra" ordered grid. A+ to Amazon Customer Service. Thanks Ria for being so efficient and curteous!

I researched for a long time for a rack that would fit my space but still have enough storage space. I was very happy with this purchase. the one I got is actually alittle different design but essentailly the same product. love my rack and love how much space is freed up in my small kitchen with not alot of space for storage. It was a little bit of a pain to put together but it was worth it. There a few steps that you almost have to have a 2nd person to hold as you piece togehter. I paid about $20 more at Kohls but thats okay it was the cheapest I could find it at the time. I have owned this for about 4 months and I am very happy with it.

The only true negative with this rack is the anchor styem. I had to call the company twice and they do not answer questions about the Toggler anchorsyou have to call a seperate company. I also had to call a plaster specialist about advice weither or not the Toggler could be used in my ceiling. The Toggler is meant for HOLLOW wall space. After talking a plaster guy and told him about my wall space and year built it was determined that I do have hollow space and could use the anchor system. make sure you aviod beams cause it will not work. After drilling 1/2 inch in my ceiling I put the anchor in and I must not have broke it off correctly because it was stuck and not in the correct position. I again called the company and asked for advice. They sent me TWO new togglers and there apologies. When they arrived, within only a few days, I was told to just use something to push the old one up and into the ceiling and put the new one. So I did and once again it broke incorrectly!! Frustrated and down to my last Toggler I gave it more shot and SUCCESS!! It was a bit of a pain to get up but I love it. Make sure you just KNOW where are gonna hang and have read ALL the directions, especially realted to togglers, before hanging. If you do this you will be much happier. But if you make mistakes, like I did, know the company(s) are very helpful and will do anything they can to help you figure it out!! I thought the togglers seemed flimsy at first but after now fully understanding the designed, they actaully are pretty ingenious and I have no doubt that they will hold the weight they claim. The rack does shift weight when take off and put on new pots/pans, made me nervous first time it happens but its just redisributing weight and once again NO PROBLEMS. I know its a long review but I wish I had known the info and i help someone! All and all a great purchase on a budget, looks great and works great!!

I was really skeptical of the installation system but decided to try and I'm glad I did. It was easy to install and looks great in my kitchen. I've hung several skippers, lids and pots on it without trouble!

I would recommend the decorative covers as well. They give it a nice finished look.

Honest reviews on Rack It Up Oval Pot Rack

I love the quick anchor system this rack uses. I have over 10 pots and pans hanging at all times and two of those pans are the heavy cast iron pans. The center is great for hanging long spoons and serving forks. Comes with plenty of hooks to hang items but I bought the extra hooks and I use them all. I get no end of compliments of this rack and for the cost it can't be beat.

I have an 8-foot ceiling, so I ordered the additional low ceiling arms (I've included a photo). The pot rack is well-made and solid, and the instructions are pretty straightforward. There's a Snaptoggle drywall anchor installation video at toggler.com that's helpful in getting the provided drywall toggles installed right. Be sure to raise the movable plastic bolt on the toggler all the way up as far as it will go after you've drilled your 1/2 inch hole, and drawn the anchor on the toggler to the perpendicular position on the inside of the hole. Otherwise, it will just spin when you try to secure the rack to the ceiling with provided hardware bolts or hooks, and you'll have to buy another toggler set at Lowe's and repeat the procedure. That said, if you have 5/8" drywall in your ceiling, each anchor point supports 356 lbs., which is pretty impressive. I'm giving this item a 4-Star rating rather than 5 for 2 reasons: 1) I really don't like the regular-angled cookware hooks: I think all the provided hooks should be bent-angled so as to accommodate more pots/pans on the rack. As it is, you get 6 of each type (regular vs. bent-angled). 2) You get 2 separate grille sections, each 6" wide, with 3 movable bars to "secure" them to the rack...and that's it. The grille sections "slide," as there's no provided hardware to otherwise fasten them together, to the rack or the support bars, necessitating your doing the task yourself with wires, plastic clips etc. Not sure why the manufacturer doesn't provide a single 12 by 22" grille and some type of fastener, but I'm otherwise and altogether pleased with the product!

I was hesitant to pay this much for a single skillet, but I decided to take a chance. I'm extremely happy with the purchase. The skillet is very thick and heats evenly. I use it mostly for cooking eggs & omelets. It's not coated with a non-stick material, but a small amount of butter or cooking spray goes a long way. The 8" skillet works well for 2-egg and small 3-egg omelets, but anything bigger would requite a larger skillet.

As far as I'm concerned, this skillet was worth the price. I don't think I could get a skillet as thick and even-heating for less money.

We tried so many pressure cookers over the years as Indian Cooking demands heavy use of pressure cooking for making lentil soups and curries. We even tried few models from India but none could last more than a few years. Either they have problems with safety valves, handles, or they would become loose too often that requires tightenening of handles. If they last well, they were too bulky and takes almost forever to open and close the lid. Most annoying of all, they all make crazy sound that scares both my kids.

Kuhn Rikon pressure cookers sure have expensive prices but once you see them and feel them, you will find every reason to agree that they are well worth the price. This particular 2 set model is so lovely that my wife decided to get rid of most of her cookware as they both compliment each other so well. They can be used for almost everything we cook for our daily needs. The lids are interchangeable. This makes it so convenient to pressure cook veggies and lentils and then continue to use it with glass lid to make the final curry without having to transfer the cooked veggies and lentils to another cookware to make the curry. You can cook meat much faster and tastier without having to marinate for long.

The small one is so convenient if you have small babies and would like to feed them fresh boiled veggies, rice, or lentils. It saves lot of cooking time and the cook book that comes with it is wonderful. It gives you so many nice and simple receipes for everyone.

Couple of our guests got so impressed with this that they bought it right away from Amazon.com without waiting to get an incredible deal for it in their Amazon.com GoldBox like I did.

Excellent set, easy to use and will last beyond its ten year guarantee. I use the pressure frypan to cook macrobiotic rice or oatmeal. After 50 minutes of high pressure cooking, I get perfect brown rice or oatmeal(no sticking or burning). Once you know the stove setting required to maintain pressure, you can almost forget it. However, as with any cooking device, I monitor it periodically. The pressure pot and frypan have flat bottoms which makes food preparation and cleaning a breeze. The glass lid was a major selling point, as it enables conventional use of both pots.

My wife makes succulent turkey drumsticks in only eight minutes of cooking time.

None of the other brands, we previewed, appeared to be constructed as well as the Kuhn Rikon models.

Needless to say, our family considers this set a great value. More important,we use it almost daily.

Best Deals for Kuhn Rikon 6-Piece Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set

I purchased the set for use on my boat where I wanted to save energy and time while preparing meals and have been using them for several months now.

I found the 5 liter pressure cooker to be great. It is extremely well made and if cared for I have no doubt that it will outlast me. The glass lid is also very useful if I want to use the cooker as a regular cooking pot, which I do quite often.

The 2 liter cooker is quite disappointing though. Since you are not supposed to fill a pressure cooker more than half full at best you only have 1 liter to work with. Even for one person this is not much. I have found that I can use the larger cooker and if I have smaller amounts to cook I just use a small metal bowl as an insert. I was hoping that it could double as a fry pan but it does not have a non-stick coating and the stainless steel is quite sticky.

If I were to do it again I would buy the 5 liter cooker and the glass lid separately.

Additional info: after having the fry pan for close to ten years the bottom is delaminating form the pan. I'm hoping I can get it replaced under the warranty before it runs out in a few months.

Honest reviews on Kuhn Rikon 6-Piece Duromatic Duo Pressure Cooker Set

I received a 5-liter Duromatic pressure cooker as a gift 7 years ago, and wondered, "What on earth will I do with it?" Now I use it almost every time I cook. It is well-constructed and lives up to every promise they advertise: fast, healthful cooking has never been easier. If you love beans, there's no better way to cook them--dinner's ready in half an hour or less. Steam vegetables in 1 minute, cook a whole chicken in 19 minutes,or make perfect risotto with NO stirring in under 10 minutes from start to finish! You can make wonderful puddings and cheesecakes, too, with a little practice.

I ordered the "Duo" set to get the glass lid and the smaller cooker. Though I didn't need another 5L, it is quite handy to have two (I use it without pressure for cooking pasta or some soups.) The smaller (2L)size is wonderful for quickly cooking cereals, small quantities for babies or kids, or side dishes.

The recipe book provided with this set is extremely helpful and detailed, so don't be put off by having to learn the cooking techniques (Note to Kuhn-Rikon: a video or CD-ROM would be wonderful! I received a marketing CD-ROM a few years ago but IMO it should be in the box.) It can be tricky to convert recipes, the book contains thorough charts with cooking times for most foods, and once you get the basics down you'll be ready to start experimenting with your favorites. If you would like to cook with more whole grains and beans, this is a must-have. If you want that slow-cooked tenderness, but not the boring taste of Crock Pot cooking, pressure cooking is for you. Unlike the Crock Pot, the PC allows you to start with a saute', use the pressure to speed up your cooking time, and then add more delicate ingredients at the end so they stay crisp and colorful. Also, on a hot day like today, I appreciate that the shorter cooking time uses less energy and doesn't heat up the kitchen!

At first I had a hard time finding good PC recipes, but lately there seem to be more cookbooks coming out as the PC seems to be enjoying a bit of a revival. I just ordered Rick Rodgers' "Pressure Cooking for Everyone" and am happy to see more recipes for "gourmet" foods as well as everyday meals.

My only complaint, and it's a small one, is that I wish they sold custom cooking inserts for puddings and cheesecakes. The standard method is to cover your springform pan with foil and make a "harness" from foil to lift your pan in and out. You end up wasting a lot of foil, and it is easy to accidentally dump your dish on the way out. It would be great if they made an insert with a lid and handles to make this easier.

It would be hard to find a more versatile cooking tool, and I'm newly in love with my Duromatic(s) again after receiving my new set. BTW, the 7-year-old set is still perfect, not even the gasket has worn out, although it looks a bit shabby compared to the new styling and shiny finish of the new set. I can't say enough good things about Kuhn-Rikon or Duromatic. Give it a try! Here's to healthier, faster cooking in your home!

When I decided I wanted to buy a pressure cooker I "shopped" here at Amazon.com. The reviews were a great help. The pressure lid works like magic. It's so quiet. I also like having the 2 pot sizes.

Boy did I spend a lot of time looking through all the cookbook stands on this site. I'm VERY happy with this purchase. This is durable, wont fall over even with large books, holds large books and small books and even just a piece of paper. I'm not much of a rooster person, this is my first and only rooster in my kitchen, but I think it adds such a fun whimsy to my kitchen. It sits on my island, so it's center of the kitchen. If I know what I'm going to cook that night, then I put the recipe on the stand for the whole day and it actually gets me motivated to cook! If I have no recipe planned for the near future, then I just sit a pretty cookbook on the stand and it still motivates my wanting to cook. Oh, and I love having my recipe upright and in front of my face while I'm cooking! No more sitting it on the counter, where it gets all dirty and I have to constantly look down and find my place. Having it upright and in front of your face really DOES make it easier!!

I can only imagine that it used to be a better made product judging from previous reviews, but here is what you get NOW -

First of all, I made sure that the model of my Nesco 18qt was listed as compatible. When I received the item I found that it was quite ill-fitting with a lot of room to slosh around in the cavity of my Nesco. That made me uncomfortable.

Furthermore, I found it to be very thin and chintzy. Not only that, it had a number of little dents in it, assumably, because it was so thin. The edge all the way around the top was very sharp and not at all finished.

I am very familiar with Nesco, having had products of theirs for some years and am also aware that they are not making them like they used to. That is an unfortunate fact and one that I did not contemplate when I purchased this stainless steel cookwell for my older Nesco. I was saddened that not only the quality was not there, but that it didn't even fit well. It was an accident waiting to happen, with such a poor fit and with the sharp rim, so I was forced to return it.

ETA Just a side note that I neglected to mention initially Upon further examination of the picture on this item, I have also noticed that the one I got was different. Mine had the sharp edge all around it sticking OUT from the sides. It was not turned down like it shows in the picture. I hope that makes sense. It is a considerable difference, in my opinion, and one that made it unappealing to use. Perhaps if the cookwell had fit my Nesco better it would not have been such an issue. For that reason I would have changed it to only one star, but was not allowed to revise that portion.

I'm writing this review because there is a review from Dec 2008 with the title "Ill-fitting and very thin."

The Stainless Steel Cookwell I received is the same shape and size as the enamel one that came with the Nesco Oven. I purchased the stainless steel cookwell this week and the Nesco oven a couple years ago.

The cookwell fits perfectly. It is finished similar to the enamel one, perhaps a little smoother. The weight is slightly less than the enamel cookwell but the stainless steel appears heavy enough for the purpose.

I've noticed that the stainless steel in pans I've purchased this year have been, more often than not, lighter than what I used to expect.

High quality. Fits in the Nesco 18 qt. nicely.

Great for slow cooking and keeping dishes separated and warm for long spells.

I like to keep a little water in the base pan while warming things to keep em moist.
