I own and love Rachael Ray products, and I am not sure if this item has problems or I just received a defective tea kettle. I've done some research on this item but there is not much info out there on the 1.5 qt size. I know that the 2 qt has had a recall for problems.

When I boiled water in it, it spits water out of pour spout. When I went to pour it dribbles from in between the flip opening and the pour spout.

I would like to hear from other people who have purchased this and if anyone has had similar experiences.

I like the appearance of this but not sure if I should put up with this or send back for replace or refund.

Very disappointed and returned almost same day. Handle was wobbly and required a screw being tightened. Went to use it for the first time and well before it was boiling (no steam was being emitted and the whistle was not blowing), I tried to pick up the handle and it was uncomfortably hot I'd hate to know how hot it gets when it really boils!! Very impractical and a safety hazard. Color and style looked good but not functional.

Honest reviews on Rachael Ray 1-1/2-Quart Whistling Teakettle

It is a good product so far. My husband doesn't like the texture of the handle and it doesn't hold a lot of water. which is fine for us because we usually only make 1 or 2 cups and that is perfect.

My daughter dropped it on the carpet and the handle broke into pieces and could not be fixed, and the nail holding it together had rusted,so I had to throw it out. =(

I wanted a red tea kettle. This one was a nice read, great shape and honestly the right price...BUT IT SUCKS! The first huge problem is that you can't pour your tea because the handle gets hot...REALLY HOT. The second thing is that the sides of the pourer have already melted. Yep...MELTED! Can you imagine a teapot that can't handle the heat of the tea? Rachael Ray should be ashamed of herself. Putting her name on a product that is subpar and unusable. I want to return it, but not sure I can at this point...I'm going to try though. Ridiculous.

List Price: $250.00

This is one sturdy pan--be ready for a bit of heavy lifting if you're going from stove to oven, because it takes two hands. I knew I wanted a cast iron skillet for frying and other things, and knew I wanted it to be a heavyweight (because that's how good cast iron skillets should be), and decided on this one because I liked the looks and the pouring lip, and Cuisinart tends to be reliable. It has a sorta high price tag, but from what my grandmother told me, a good cast-iron skillet will last forever, so I dove in. And so far, it's been more than worth it. Not just for chicken frying, though the straight tall sides make it great for frying (I've tried a couple things, chicken, hushpuppies, and zucchini and all have come out nice an hot and crisp), but also for making things from browning a ton of onions, to simmering a sauce, to making a big curry for about 10 people. It's just a workhorse of a pan, and the ability to drop it in the oven (using both hands, don't forget) to finish off a dish is very helpful. Oh, and it does look great (I have red) on the stove, too, which is a bonus. Overall, I'd suggest this pan to anyone, whether they want to use it to fry chicken or not. It's an investment that you'll be using for many years.

I picked up one of these babies about a year ago and the previous reviewer is right she's a workhorse. I make big stews and meat/rice dishes in this and its great. Sautée the chicken for Arroz Con Pollo and then throw in the chicken stock and rice and toss the chicken back in and simmer for 40 minutes perfection. Very even distribution of heat it takes a few minutes to heat up but its nice and DEEEEEEEP. You can really fill it with food. It practically acts as a second Dutch oven. Want some amazing roasted root vegetables? Skin 'em, chop 'em, and throw them in this baby in the oven at 300 degrees (with that nice heavy cover on) for 1 hour. Absolutely delicious. Sweet and rich and flavorful. The heavy iron nature of the cover and pan ensure the inside turns into a sauna and stays that way. You almost have to be careful not to overcook food with the top on. Once this baby warms up, turn the heat down to medium low and let her do the rest. Its like a mini-stove all to itself. But you better workout. This sucker tips the scales at close to 35-40 pounds with the cover on, I'm guessing. Its ROBUST. I'll die before this thing does. Ever dent a pan by dropping it? Not this daddy. You'll dent your floor first. Mind your feet, this thing would shatter them. Built to LAST. One of the best things I've ever spent my money on. I have an 8 inch too. That's just as bulletproof, but it didn't come with an iron lid. Not cheap but worth every penny.

One tip heat it up a little and use a nylon scrub brush to clean it. Otherwise it'll be a pain to clean.... And mind the temp! No high heat required here!

I am not certain if Amazon is getting second-hand or reconditioned products, but both the Cuisinart pieces I received have been flawed--chipped or dented in places. I kept this piece because it was only slightly dented/flawed but I returned the 7 quart Cuisinart pot because the enamel was peeled off on the outside. I have reordered the 7 quart pot hoping that I can receive one in good condition. I prefer Le Creuset but the margin for the brand name is outrageous.

As stated in a previous review, this rack has to be mounted directly into the wall studs. Unfortunately, the limited space in my small kitchen and the location that I wanted to mount the shelf did not allow for mounting the shelf directly into wall studs. The solution.....I attached a 24" X 36" piece of 3/4" birch plywood into the studs using eight 3" drywall screws (it's a good idea to countersink the screws into the plywood). To the plywood, I laminated a 24" X 36" stainless steel backsplash (available at Lowes or Home Depot for about 30 bucks) with liquid nails and four screws (holes are pre-drilled on each corner). I could then mount the bookshelf rack into the plywood/stainless steel backsplash without having to worry about mounting the unit into studs. You can also add some trim around the edges of the plywood/stainless to hide the plywood edges. My Cuisinart Mult-Clad Pro cookware looks great displayed from this rack. The mount is rock solid.

If this solution exceeds your carpentry skills, I would recommend hiring a handyman to complete the job. It should take no more than one hour to complete the mounting. I would also recommend going to the hardware store and purchasing four American-made lag bolts and four stainless steel wood screws (the bolts provided with the shelf are metric and cheaply made). My total investment in the project (not including the shelf) was $39.50 and well worth the additional expense. I would love to include pictures with this review but I keep getting a message that Amazon is experiencing technical difficulties uploading pictures. I will however, keep trying and update this review with pictures. In closing, I would even use this method for mounting if I didn't have issues with the location of the studs. The plywood/backsplash protects the wall from cookware dings and looks great!

UPDATE: Finally got a couple of pictures to upload. My my next Amazon purchase will probably be a good digital camera!

Looks very nice with a brushed stainless finish and compliments stainless steel appliances perfectly. Quite heavy. Keep in mind that to mount this unit safely on sheet rock walls that you must screw it into the wall studs. The unit has two mounting holes drilled at 32 inches, which is correct if your builder has spaced the studs properly on 16 inch centers, [ good luck on this if you live in the Atlanta area as we do].

The wood screws supplied with this unit are of the cheap import variety and snap easily when torqued down. One of them broke off in the wall , forcing us to drill it out of the wall and replace it with an oversized screw. Save yourself the headache and buy four U.S. made screws and toss the others away before you begin.

Lastly, the hook hangers that come with this unit are all of equal length and hang at a bit of an angle. I didn't think that made for the most efficient use of the space available and I got my husband to shorten and bend a couple of them in order to hang pans at varying heights. The hooks are made of heavy gauge stainless steel and are VERY tough to cut and bend. If you wish to do this you'll need a good vice and a strong arm.

Very happy. Comes with 12 hooks, so there is not need to get additional pit hangers. Fairly easy to install, and the bolts that came with it worked fine. You will need a drill, a level, and a stud finder to install. No issues so far after three months and multiple compliments from friends!

Honest reviews on Cuisinart Chef's Classic 36-Inch Rectangular Bookshelf Rack

I mostly followed fyurguy's instructions but I have a few tips to add as well:

Supply List:

-Cuisinart Pot Rack (as shown here)

-24x36" stainless steel backsplash Broan SP3604 Backsplash 24-Inch by 36-Inch Stainless Steel Range Hood Wall Shield

-24x36" 3/4" thick birch plywood (this part is tricky, I will explain below)

-x5 1/2" #8 Stainless Steel Screws

-Box of 3" Course Thread Drywall Screws (don't bother with the fine thread)

-Flat Black Spraypaint

-x1 squeeze tube of liquid nail

-x1 cheap paint brush (its just to spread liquid nail... I used an old paint soaked one. It doesn't matter)

-Metal Boring bits for your drill

OK to begin, the Plywood is probably the trickiest thing about this setup. Most stores won't have a prefab cut of plywood in 24x36. You can have a lot of places cut a Longer sheet down, but their tools they use to cut it are used for rough cuts and not the precision you need. If you don't have the equipment to cut sheets of plywood, have the store get it as close as possible then with a jigsaw clean up the edges. You need the backsplash (which is EXACTLY 24x36) to be flush with the Plywood

Once you have your plywood cut and ready to go, take the spray paint and paint all the edges with a few coats to make sure they are good and covered in the little crevices. I sanded down the edges of the plywood to make the suface look a bit cleaner for the end product. Let this dry for as long as you can, you don't want this rubbing off on your wall when you are taking your stud measurements.

While the pain is drying, take a studfinder and find your mounting points. Always check (in a spot that will be covered) by hammering a finishing nail into the wall if it sticks than you got yourself a stud. In a lot of buildings there are things in the wall that may interfere with the studfinder's capability to accurately represent whats behind the wall. You stud locations need to be precise, mark off on the wall both side of your studs that you find for the plywood.

Once the paint is dry, hold the board up to the wall, make sure everything is plumb, and mark where the studs are on the plywood. Draw a line all the way up and down on the board to mark off your screwing region -trust me, this helps. Now take the board down and pre-drill counter sinks into the plywood. When someone is holding that board up on the wall, you want to be able to just slam those screws in as fast as possible. It also helps to take a very fine drill bit and drill a guide hole if you have hardwood studs like I have in my old house. The counter sunk holes make sure that your screws will be flush with the plywood once they are in place.

Once you have the counter sink holes, line the backsplash up on the plywood. Find the dead center of the board and bore a small hole in the back splash. You want a fifth SS screw in the center to make sure that the backsplash stays put. After you have the center hole drilled, take your plywood to the wall and mount it in. I personally used 5 screws in each stud and 4 screws directly into the drywall (just for poops and giggles). Always double check that everything is plumb with the ground before screwing this in... once its in, its in... You can't really try this again.

Next step: cover the plywood (that is now on the wall) with liquid nail.. You want ti to be spread out and not globbing. It is more effective the more even the coating is. Take your 1/2" SS screws and screw that puppy in. Make sure everything is lined up perfectly because you will be screwing close to the edges of the Plywood. You don't want to split the wood. Drill a tiny tiny guide-hole if it makes you feel more comfortable.

Congratulations! You now have a SS backsplash weigh anchor mounted on your wall!

From here you follow the Cuisinart directions, but I will still tell you what I did, and the order I did it in:

Tightly bolt the arms of the unit onto the shelf unit so it looks like the finished product (keep the wire rack out of it though). Have someone hold the unit up to your backsplash and find the position you want it in. I put mine at the very top, but it really is just personal preference. Mark the screw holes on the unit (there are 4) with a piece of chalk or a pencil (chalk is easier to see and cleans off better). Pre-drill the holes with a metal boring bit so all 4 are ready to go.

Take the arms off of the shelf unit and set them aside. Mount the shelf part onto the wall first with the supplied SS lag bolts and washers, but attach it loosely DO NOT RATCHET THESE DOWN TOO TIGHTLY. Bolt on the supplied arms and use the supplied lag bolts to post them into your pre-drilled holes. Line everything up while you have it loose and then tighten all your bolts. Again, DO NOT over tighten the bolts, they will likely just be going into plywood and maybe a bit of stud if you have lined it up this way. tighten it too much and it will strip the hole.

Finally, slide in the SS grate and you are done! Voila!

I bought this on eBay for 89.95 + free shipping a few days ago. I'm VERY happy with this purchase, and it's probably worth what Amazon is selling for if you can't find at a lower price. This shelf/rack looks great in any kitchen and it's very sturdy. The holes are spaced for 16" studs (32" apart). If you can get them into the studs (if your space allows), your pots that are hanging as well as whatever you put on top will not faze the shelf/rack at all. I have an entire set of heavy anodized aluminum pots hanging from mine as well as the large pot and all of the lids on top and there appaears to be no strain at all. I have no concern at all that the weight limits of the rack are even being tested! It comes with 12 hooks, and you probably wouldn't have room for much more than that. It's heavy, so you will probably need two people to install. This is all to say that I highly recommend this product, buy with confidence that it looks great and very sturdy!!

I do not put them in the dishwasher but soak them in warm water and soap until I can wash them properly and by doing this makes the pans easy to clean and clean up very well.

I bought this to replace a older Circulon wok that we used for many, many years and as an alternative to a large stainless steel wok which is heavier and my wife does not like to use often. We later found out that if we wash it in a dishwasher, water will accumulate inside the handle since there is an opening between the wok and the handle. I think it is a design flaw or an afterthought to allow the water to drain? Anyway, it is an inconvenience and a hassle when you have to wipe out dishwashing residue coming out of the handle while you are ready to cook!

I recently bought my husband an entire set of Circulon Contempo in the hard anodized. He is the cook but I do the clean up. He loves the pans and I love the clean up. He needed a pan like this as our set did not include one and the one from the former set we had was really needing replacement. Unfortunately, it only comes in the stainless and not the hard anodized. So I decided to buy it anyway so we could get rid of the other one. He likes the pan but wishes it was a little wider at the bottom. So far I have had no issues with keeping it clean. The inside (of course) cleans up like a dream. So far the outside has not needed more than a scrubby sponge. I hope it stays that way.

Reviews of Weston Cabbage Shredder

List Price: $44.99
Sale Price: $36.54
Today's Bonus: 19% Off

I regularly make sauerkraut in a 10 liter (2.5 gallon) Harsch fermenting crock, and I thought this tool would really speed the process of shredding the cabbage. I was using either a knife or a mandoline. When I bought this cabbage shredder in spring of 2009, it was selling for over forty dollars, but I figured that was worth it, since it would make the job significantly faster and easier. I pictured myself shredding head after head of cabbage in half the time it was currently taking me.

It arrived, I tried it, and was immediately disappointed. The white laminate was already chipping at the edges, and frankly, it was awkward to use. Even more annoyingly, despite the warnings to be careful about the sharp blades, they aren't very sharp at all, at least on my particular shredder. I really had to push hard to get the cabbage to shred.

I thought maybe there was a learning curve, so I tried it for two more batches, and then stopped using it. It turned out that for the three or four heads of cabbage I use for each batch of kraut, it's still faster and easier for me to use my cheap mandoline. On top of that, the shreds of cabbage come out much better using a knife or my mandoline: this produces rather thick, uneven shreds.

I attempted to log on and write a review of this product, and wasn't able to because at the time this vendor had stopped selling this shredder. (I think that was the reason.) I tried selling mine for half price on Craigslist, but no one was interested.

I suppose that maybe, if I had to shred a dozen or so heads of cabbage, this might be a useful tool. I really wanted to like it, but it just doesn't work that well for me. Now that it's selling for less than thirty dollars, I'm even more disappointed that I spent as much as I did. I don't recommend this product for someone such as myself who makes smaller batches of kraut

Each fall for the past 10 years I make about 75 to 90 pounds of of saurakraut. I worry that my simple old two-knife shredder will wear out so I purchased this item as a backup. Firstly, the "current" model Weston Shredder does not have the plastic or laminate base shown. It has a thin, non-laminated, non-plastic wood base that will warp with usage. The blades are unevenly spaced and non-adjustable. The blades are held in place with hand-hewed chips of wood wedged and glued into place. I think there is more chance of this slicer self destructing that there is of my old model wearing out.

While the item will work, I suggest spending the extra money and getting a higher quality unit, an electric knife does a better job than this item.

As others have said, the cutter you receive isn't the same as described. Knives are poor quality, the wood is thin, the 2 make for a hard to use tool.

Honest reviews on Weston Cabbage Shredder

I used it for the first time this month. It functioned quite well, turning 28 heads of cabbage into sauerkraut in a short time.

The sharp cutting blades present an obvious finger-slicing hazard, which the instructions address by cautioning the user to wear "Kevlar gloves." Where would you find such a thing? Would it actually help? I dealt with the problem by starting a new chunk of product atop the old whenever there got to be less than an inch or so between blades and fingers.

If you disassemble for cleaning, as recommended, be careful not to lose the tiny screws. And on reassembly, don't get any of the blades in backwards. It's easy to do.

Out of the box it looked ok, the box slid freely so I washed it and put it away until needed.

Apparently you are never supposed to get this thing wet because a simple wash rinse was enough to warp it so the box no longer slid freely. Fast forward to a couple of hours later, had to re-assemble and glue the box as it was put together so poorly. Lots of work with a dremel tool to enlarge the groves on the cutter and reduce the tails on the box so it would actually slide. Ready to cut...

However the blades have quite a bit of flex, probably becuse they are secured to the box with some type of foam rubber, and they are just thin. Difficult to cut with, uneven cabbage results and a product that required work to make it work. Avoid.

The quality is not what was expected, lighter weight than earlier versions of the same thing. Scratches easily. And can't be put in dishwasher!

I wrote this review on another product page Calphalon Unison Nonstick 8-Inch and 10-Inch Omelette Pan Set as I purchased them both specifically to compare them:

Nearly 10 months ago I purchased this item at the same time as another product, Cuisinart FCT22-20NS French Classic Tri-Ply Stainless 8-Inch Nonstick Skillet, specifically to compare them and guide my future purchases. After extensive daily usage of both products I can share my perspective and hope it helps others. I will be comparing only the 8 inch Calphalon pan to the 8 inch Cuisinart.

The Cuisinart product is a classic pro-style pan that seemed perfect for what I was after. That said, I was drawn to the Calphalon product by the attractive pricing and decent product reviews I found here on Amazon and elsewhere on the web. I am an avid appreciator of omelettes and there is no better task to test the sticky-factor of a pan than with omelettes especially as I am a flipper, not a folder.

I found both the Cuisinart and Calphalon pans to have good feel to them. The handle design and the weight of the pans is slightly different. The Cuisinart handle arcs higher which I preferred a bit more. The slope of the sides of the pan on the Calphalon is steeper leaving a larger cooking surface area on the bottom. For an omelette flipper the Cuisinart's less dramatic slope made it easier. That said, after a couple weeks of use I could achieve the same results with either.

Both pans perform well as a non-stick surface product. Very little effort to keep things from sticking and it required little to no butter or oil to get that result from both. These surfaces on both pans seemed to perform better once "broken in" even though that's not generally a characteristic of this material.

Now for durability. I invest way too much in cooking gear to use sharp tools on them. So I stick with just plastic tipped tongs or a silicone spatulas. Period. Regardless of my efforts, both pans are showing signs of scratches on the cooking surface a very disappointing finding. The Cuisinart looks to have held off scratches much better than the Calphalon. I expect that to start affecting the non-stick capabilities in a couple years as the scratches worsen. Both items are labeled as dishwasher safe and I did take advantage of that and it worked out well. The external surface of the Calphalon is easier to care for than the stainless surface on the Cuisinart.

So, it would seem that for half the price the Calphalon performed very well against the Cuisinart. The longevity of the Cuisinart will likely be the differenciator in the long run. But since I received two pans for pretty close to the same price in the Calphalon offering it really does win my vote in the end.

First bought the 8", which really is too small--basically suitable for one-egg omelet. The 10" had a price drop since I first looked at it, so even though pricey for me, decided to treat myself. Glad I did. This makes perfect 2 or 3 egg omelets, even using egg white, every time. I do use a little olive oil spray. Cleans quickly. My first high-priced omelet pan and am happy with my purchase.

I just love it. Doing eggs mixed with cheese is a breeze.The price can't be beat for the quality you get.I highly recomend it for anyone expert or not. It heats up and holds the heat at a lower temp. Clean up is no prob. since nothing sticks.

We have had midrange pots/pans in the past. THese are our favorite series ever. The non stick works better than any nonstick we have used and looks great.

I own three of the Cuisinart French Classic Tri-Play skillets but they are all stainless. This is my first non-stick skillet purchase from the brand. The quality of build and cooking experience met my expectations. I can finally cook eggs without a mess to clean-up afterwards.
