Discount Emeril Stainless Steel Cookware Sets

Customer Ratings:

I have had the 10 piece set for a little over a month now, and I can honestly say I love it! And let me tell you, I cook ALL the time 7 days a week, and at least 2-3 meals a day. So figure I have used these pots/pans at least 60 times by now. I have cooked everything from rice to steaks to vegetables, soups, pastas, sauces, and even things as delicate as eggs! The bottom heats very evenly, and quickly, and the handles DO NOT get hot, which was very surprising for me. Before I purchased, I was willing to accept the fact that I was more than likely going to have to deal with hot handles, as is the case with most stainless steel cookware, but with these I was pleasantly surprised. Even after being on the stove over high heat for a long period of time, the handles are still cool! But that is not to be confused with the handles on the lids I find that the handles on the lids may become very warm after prolonged exposure to heat, but that it is generally to be expected if lid handles are not rubber coated, but that doesn't bother me in the least.

To me, the weight of each individual piece of cookware is just perfect heavy enough to feel sturdy and durable, but light enough for me to comfortably lift and move them with one hand while cooking (assuming I don't have something heavy in them). That is something that was very important when considering cookware. I know a lot of people say "the heavier, the better, because that means it is better quality"...but seriously, I don't want to have to use 2 hands and develop forearms like Popeye just to lift a pan from one burner to another. Yeah, I need something durable and practical, and this set is it for me.

To the person saying that the lids do not fit correctly, I have had no problems with rice(or steaming vegetables and such)cooking properly. From my experience, the lids keep the moisture in very well.

And to anyone who has never owned a stainless steel cookware set, and is hesitating because of the "NOT non-stick" factor here is a tip that converted me to stainless steel forever heat the SS pan directly on the burner, and get it nice and hot to the point where if you put a drop or two of water directly in the pan, it will bead up and dance and glide around bottom. When it gets to that point, remove from the heat source, (or you can turn down the heat while it is still on the burner, but it will take longer), and let it cool off slightly enough to where it wouldn't burn butter if you added it. Return back to the burner and turn heat down to medium(more or less, depending upon what you are cooking), add your butter/oil, and whatever you are cooking, and Voila! non-stick! It has to do with getting the pan getting so hot that the heat causes the metal to microscopically expand and fills up the tiny pores in the steel that food would normally sink into while cooking (sticking). But then you have to to turn it down to your actual cooking temp so things do not burn, and while doing so, the steel will remain expanded until the pan is completely cooled. That is advice passed on from experienced, professional chefs.

Anyway, overall, this set is beautiful, functional, and of great quality. Even "if" this set wears out in 10 to 30+ years down the road, I will definitely be buying another one.

There are no words to describe how pleased I am with my new cookware. It is so much fun to cook again now that I have purchased this set!

Prior to my purchase, I did a lot of research on cookware to make the best choice for my cooking needs and my budget. I definitely made the right choice by purchasing this set.

So far, the performance of this cookware has been outstanding. Heating and boiling are much quicker than with my previous non-stick set (Calphalon), and the cooking is much more even.

My favorite part about this set is that there are pour spouts on some of the pans, and measurement markings inside of them as well. A couple of the lids have strainers, so if you are cooking something that needs to be drained (like pasta or vegetables), it's a one-pot job.

Even though this cookware claims to be oven-safe up to 550 degrees (lids to 350), I have not yet put any of the pans in the oven. Obviously, handles will be too hot without using oven mitts if you are going to cook in the oven, but as far as stovetop cooking goes, my experience has been that the handles remain cool to the touch.

I have seen a couple of negative reviews (on other websites) about some of the pots melting. There is a care sheet that comes with the cookware explaining that the pans can melt IF you place an empty pot on a hot stove for an extended period of time. There are plenty of other helpful tips included on the care sheet. In order to get the most out of your Emerilware, I suggest you read the instructions carefully. They are included for a reason.

I am also very pleased that this cookware comes with a lifetime warranty, and All-Clad will repair or replace defective cookware (excluding damage from misuse or abuse).

This cookware is prone to water spots when running them through the dishwasher, but the spots are easily removed by using a soft cloth and some Bar Keeper's Friend. That stuff is incredible. Get some after you purchase your Emerilware.

Get this cookware it's awesome. You won't regret it.

Emerilware Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set

I have had a set of Emerilware for some time and loved it. I ordered the 10 piece set to get additional pieces to use. The style has changed and the lids do not fit well. The lids are loose fitting and allow too much steam to escape during cooking. The pour spouts with the holes in the lids seems like a good idea, but it allows food to pour out as well as excess liquid. Do not like the new handles and the new style is much lighter weight. Just not happy with the new style cookware.

Honest reviews on Emeril Stainless Steel Cookware Sets

This was my first set of SS cook wear after years of cheap non-stick pots and pans from different manufacturers and I'm sorry I waited so long.

The saucepan, as well as both fry pans, require far less heat to get the job done. The "brown bits" left after cooking fish, chicken or steak allow me to make a flavorful sauce with these dishes I could never do with non-stick.

Clean-up is easy and the pans look brand new after a wash and some Bar Keepers Friend. The bottoms of the pans heat evenly and I haven't had any "hot spots" on the cooking surface that would cause problems with my old set.

I've had to experiment a little with the correct heats to keep fish from sticking. Once I learned where I needed to be, sticking no longer was an issue.

The saucepan has a pouring lip and the glass lid has holes in the rim to allow for straining of pasta after cooking which eliminates the need to use (and dirty) a strainer. I've gone from stove top to oven with fish and steak and had terrific results. I've only had one instance where I forgot to use an oven mitt for the handle that was enough to help me remember next time.

Another nice little feature is liquid measurements etched into the inside wall of the saucepans so if your recipe requires a certain amount of liquid, you can just measure with the pot instead of dirtying a measuring cup.

Overall, I have found nothing to complain about and find myself cooking more than ever just to use the set. I wish I had bought them years ago.

I think this set is great for the price!

I switched from a set of Circulon pots and pans that I'd worn out over the last 10 years and decided to give the stainless steel a try. These pots and pans are great. They have weight to them and they hold heat very well. Frankly, I don't turn them up past medium, since they conduct the heat so well.

The glass tops are great. I don't have to take the lid off to check my food.

They're also not that hard to clean with the proper powder cleaner.

As for cooking eggs in the pans, I have successfully with butter to coat the pan and low heat. I'll probably still go with the non-stick fry pan I keep around though, it's a bit easier.

Can you find better pots and pans? Probably, but they'll cost you a lot more. So unless your a pro, or a pro wannabe these will do you good for a long time.

Reviews of Danesco Gastronome Pro Stainless Steel 14-Inch Diameter Lid

Customer Ratings:

Why are there so many great 14" fry and saute pans available without lids? It's as if you never want or need to simmer something or keep it warm just because it's in a large pan--crazy! I've been to more forums than I care to mention where people are searching for a lid for a particular brand of pan, hoping to find a source, but until I cam across this great lid, the only options were those dreadful aluminum discs that "fit" multiple pan widths, or tenting with foil. Believe me, neither the one size fits all lid or the foil are big enough! This is a heavy weight, high quality item at a reasonable price. I only wish I had bought more than one--especially because the box used was large enough for a dozen of these lids and a toaster oven to fit inside. Not a green way to pack at all!

At this time it is pretty much the only decent choice on Amazon when you need a 14" lid and I don't have the time to look anywhere else... It is quite a handsome piece of stainless steel, with a good rim, plenty of heft, and a strong handle.

As a warning, some 14" pans are actually shy of 14". This lid fits some, but not all of ours. It is properly sized, but some of our pans are just shy of 14" (you can still use the lid, but it stays a little high on them). If you want to make sure of a perfect fit, double check your pan's inner diameter.

[UPDATE] 4 years later, this lid looks as good as it did when I bought it, even though it sees service about 2-3 times per month. It will certainly last longer than me. It was an excellent purchase.

Review of Staub Round Cocotte 8-7/8 Quart

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this pot a few months back and it is probably the best I ownand I have tried to buy quality kitchenware. It is the first pot I reach for when making my family's favorite pilaf, or any other rice dish for that matter. Rice turns out perfectly every time. It can't be beat for soups and stews or other dishes that need to cook slowly over a long period of time. I've never had anything burn or stick to this pan. Love the nubs on the lid that drop moisture back into the pot and it's stylish enough to place directly on the table (with a heavy pad or thick wooden board underneath it of course!) The only drawback (expected) is the weight, which gave me problems when I dislocated my shoulder, but hubby and sons gladly did the lifting for me until I could manage myself. If I ever had to get rid of all my other cookware and chose only 3 or 4 pans, I'd choose this one first.

Beautifully crafted dutch oven from France on par with the Le Creuset cast iron pots but with a better, richer color and the self-basting lid. Matte black porcelain interior finish less likely to be marred by cooking and stirring. Overall an excellent value for a serious piece of cooking equipment.

My wife and I now own three sizes of Staub Cocottes, 2.5 qt., 5 qt., and 8 qt. These are absolutely fantastic for anything from baked beans to pot roast with potatos and carrots. The features we like:

First and foremost is the metal knob on the lid. Before we had the Staub, my wife cooked pot roast in a stainless steel pot with plastic (phenolic) handles. A few times in the oven and the handles look like they're 100 years old. I have worked in the plastic industry for over 35 years and even at temperatures approaching 350 to 400 degrees F there will be eventual damage to the appearance (blisters) and structural integraty of the plastic knob, they will not however, as some have stated, melt. La Creuset sells a metal knob as a replacement, but why not just get a metal knob from the beginning?

Secondly, those little nibs on the underside of the lid, seem to do a great job of keeping everything moist. The pot roast turned out the best it's ever tasted, and my wife has been cooking this for many years. It's a great feature and one that many lower cost Dutch Ovens have coppied to some degree.

The black matt enameled interior is another great feature. It cleans easily and doesn't show any stains from cooking. I believe this is particularly important if you intend to use your baking dish as your serving dish.

Lastly, the colors of the Staub cocotte are in our opinion much more attractive. This is a matter of personal taste, but we like the deep rich grenadine color with it's translucent qualities far better than the opaque reds of competive products. We also favor the other Staub colors to those of the competion.

We have been extremely pleased with our Staub purchases and unlike the low priced stuff, this is not made in China where you have to be concerned about what you're cooking in, cadmium, lead, etc.

Honest reviews on Staub Round Cocotte 8-7/8 Quart

I've owned Le Crueset pots before, and while they are wonderful, I fell in deep lust with this Staub 8qt in Grenadine while browsing at Sur La Table one day. I held out for a long time, but with a recent amazon gift card windfall for my birthday decided to go ahead and splurge. I love this pot, cooked steak soup, white bean soup and a roast in the past week and they all tasted 10x better than they normally do. This is my favorite kitchen item and I have a feeling this will be come my go to pot for everything from boiling potatoes to making slow braised ribs. If you are thinking about purchasing this, don't hesitate like I did = wishing I'd bought it years ago!

I love love love my Staub enameled cast iron pot! I bought mine at a retail store that was discontinuing the sunflower color and I got a great deal on it. I used it for the first time today and I am very pleased. I would not want to go larger or it wouldn't fit in my sink to clean. This size gives me a lot of versatility. I just cooked 3.5 pounds of braised short ribs with veggies and potatoes. I only used salt and pepper. When they came out they were the most delicious and moist! The lid really self bastes and there are no drips when you open up the pot. You don't have to be exact with the timing. Also, you should cook at lower temperatures because the pot retains heat so well.

I could have fit more in the pot or maybe less. It is 2 nights dinner for 2 small adults and 2 toddlers. This is the perfect size if you ever plan on cooking for the holidays or roasting a chicken, etc. I do plan on getting a 4 quart, but this can be used for most things. For leftovers, just put in the fridge and reheat on the stove top.

This is one heavy beast, but me (105lb) have no trouble lifting it full. You must be careful removing anything hot from the oven. Did I mention it is absolutely gorgeous! I ordered a Le Creuset and ended up returning it. It seemed like half the pot of the Staub. The LC was thinner and the lid didn't seal very well. The handles were smaller and the pot wasn't as beautiful. There were way too many irregularities in the enamel as well.

I wanted to like the LC, but I have been converted. My husband saw it as well and he liked this one much more.

I received these items today and was greatly disappointed. The reason I purchased them was the item description said they had screw on lids. THEY DO NOT! The lids simply sit on top of the canister. They do have a rubber seal, but the lids don't fit tightly enough to have the rubber seal make a difference. The size of the canisters is okay. Not that big, not that small. Why doesn't anyone make a huge storage container that looks nice?

I'm greatly disappointed and will most likely be returning.

J&R have placed the wrong item picture on this listing. Please do not make the mistake of purchasing this item if you think you are getting windowed canisters with flat lids that allow the canisters to be stacked. To see what the "real" canister look like, search the internet for the part number, 3346-75, and you'll see domed lids that prohibit stakcing of the canisters on the counter... The actual canisters that look like the ones pictured can be found elsewhere.

To their credit, J&R did send me a shipping label to return the item, and credit me the full purchase price upon return, but have yet to refund the original shipping cost so I have paid $11.47 for the privilege of being sent the wrong item... how nice. On the other hand, I returned the item over a month ago and the picture here is still wrong.

I did quite a bit of research (or so I thought) into canisters before I chose these. I wasn't really wanting to spend $100+ on All-Clad canisters, which consistently get good reviews, and many of the flip-top types I'd seen looked a bit flimsy. So I went with these, classic looking and mid-priced. Unfortunately, when I put flour into the large canister and closed the lid, flour squirted out the canister "window". I'm not sure if I just got a bad set, but definitely sending back and won't be buying these again.

Chef's Choice M840 WafflePro Express Waffle Maker, Traditional Five Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $95.00
Sale Price: $64.62
Today's Bonus: 32% Off

We have a big family and wanted a waffle maker. We wanted a Big Big waffle maker. Mom does not want to make any child wait for their waffles. Unfortunately, the seemingly biggest waffle makers had review that said they cooked un-evenly (because of their square shape) and were hard to clean if they spilled.

We settled for this medium large waffle iron and were very happy. It cooks large waffles so fast, we can cook waffles faster than three children can eat them and actually have left-overs to freeze. Two waffles are enough even for the most ravenous child. The cooking is very even and it is really nice to have both the controls for darkness and for texture. Waffles do cook a little more slowly if the control is set to even texture, but we prefer the crunchy outside texture setting better anyway.

The iron is easy to use, cleans up well, directs spills away from the controls, and heats up quickly. Seems sturdy, but let us use it a year or two to see how it wears with time.

The waffles freeze and recook well, though we suggest using wax paper between them in large stacks. No more Eggos.

I got this as a gift for my wife who likes heart shaped things and secretly I wanted a nice waffle maker too. I've tried a few different waffle makers, Belgian and the smaller grid traditional ones. Not a big Belgian fan, and the smaller traditional waffle irons I tried seemed better at making waffle crackers.

However the M840... wow! My wife and I made a bunch of waffles our first day. We tried all the settings to see which we liked best. There are two controls... a dial (1 to 5) to dial in your brown-ness level, and a switch that toggles from a more evenly softer waffle to a more crispy waffle. The softer waffles reminded me of the waffles you'd get at Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles (for you SoCal people out there). I preferred the more crispy setting.... crispy on the outside and still tender on the inside. Not crispy and dry like some cheaper waffle irons I've tried.

The iron takes a few minutes to warm up, but once it reaches its optimal temperature it cooks waffles in about 90 seconds or so. One ladle scoop of batter was the perfect amount to avoid any leaks of batter out of the iron.

The hearts break apart easily, would be great for small kids when you want a smaller portion.

We tried freezing some waffles we made and then used a toaster oven the next morning to warm them up and had great results. My wife said the reheated waffles were just as good if not better than the fresh ones.

The only downside to this waffle iron is the size of the waffle... its a little on the small side. Where I might eat two waffles from other waffle irons, I would probably eat three from this one. Not really a problem since the M840 cooks them pretty darn quick.

Cord can be folded and tucked into the bottom of the iron's base when storing.

Coming from the country of Norway our family have been raised on waffles. Since arriving in the US we have been through several and having worn out the last one, we went on the internet to check out the ratings for a new one.

We have had our Chef's Choice M840 WafflePro iron for 6 wks now, and love it! At first we had problems with spillage as this iron takes less batter than our previous one. We have adjusted and find that we get perfectly made waffles every time. We had planned to buy two (as we often have guests over and need to be able to keep up with the demand), but wanted to try one out before we comited to the other. We have scrapped that idea as this iron's turn-around is so efficient that we have no problem satisfying the demand. The iron is easy to clean and has logical controls and alerts.Chef's Choice M840 WafflePro Five of Hearts

Honest reviews on Chef's Choice M840 WafflePro Express Waffle Maker, Traditional Five

My husband loves waffles. He likes them crisp on the outside, moist on the inside. With my 25-year old GE waffle iron, I'd make extra-large batches once every two months and freeze them for reheating them, on demand, one-by-one in the toaster oven. Alas, I dropped the GE, broke it's handle, and decided that it was time for a new waffle iron.

I did my homework. I checked out equipment reviews on Cooks Illustrated and read all of the reviews for every non-Belgian waffle iron here on Amazon. This Chef's Choice M840 won the day. Here are the reasons why I hate it and am sentencing it to Goodwill after only a week and two waffle-making attempts.

1. It's extremely easy to overfill. After a few attempts at calibrating the pour, I started to get it right. BUT see #2.

2. It's virtually impossible to clean. No part of this waffle iron is detachable nor can any of it be put under water. As a result, when the buttery batter oozes all over the machine, there is no way to get it out of the cracks and crevices of the machine. In addition, little crumbs linger in the clover-shaped iron plates and, short of getting out my vacuum cleaner to remove them, they were still there the second time I used the machine. Ick!

3. As another reviewer pointed out, the paint is very cheap. On the first paper-towel rubdown (I cannot in good conscience call it a cleaning), the paint for the directional copy rubbed off.

4. (This is a good point.) The waffles cook fast. (BUT, see #6.)

5. (This is another good point.) The maker has a "ding" to notify you when the waffle is done.

6. (This is the death sentence.) It makes really skinny waffles. (I'm not talking about the clover shape. I'm talking about the depth of the waffle.) Belgian waffles for us are about two times too thick for us. On the other hand, these waffles were about half as thick as the ones we've come to think of as "normal". It's OK when you eat them straight from the waffle-iron; however, after freezing and reheating in a toaster oven, they have the consistency of crackers.

I'm so sad.

I had to come up with a replacement waffle iron for a cheap Salton WM7YL after my ex-wife got that one as part of our split-up, and I like thin Scandinavian style waffles as opposed to the thick style many people are used to. I fired up the Chef's Choice WafflePro M840 this morning and got a close-to-my-specs waffle on the first try. A few tweaks of the settings and perfect waffles were coming out. After the initial "PAM-ing" that is recommended by the manufacturer, it appears that the non-stick grill coating coupled with the butter in the waffle mix makes the non-sticking self-sustaining without any additional oil. The audible beeper that tells when the waffle is done has just the right number of beeps to get your attention if you're doing something else, but not too many to be annoying. Cheaper waffle irons are available, but quality is always worth paying for in the long run. The iron is 1100 Watts and is engineered in Germany and produced in China, of course. I don't think anybody will be disappointed if they buy this gem.

Review of "Taste of Italy" 5 Quart. Pasta Pots

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $34.99
Sale Price: $29.99
Today's Bonus: 14% Off

I received this pasta pot for my birthday (black version), and I really like it. At first glance the oval shape seemed a little odd, but it accommodates spaghetti and other long noodles very well. After using it a few times I find I really like the oval shape though, and find it makes for an attractive pot. I LOVE the fact that the lid locks in place and leave me with both hands to hold the handles and pour the water out. It gives me the option of leaving the noodles in the pot and adding the sauce to it to toss and keep warm. Clean up is extremely easy because of the non-stick coating. My old pasta pot and insert was stainless steel and could sometimes be a pain to clean because the gluten hardened at the water evaporation line.

I have an old stove with front and back burners somewhat closer together than I would like. Another advantage to the shape is that it doesn't bump up against the pot on the burner in front.

The handles stay cool and I have not had to use mitts to pick it up. With other pots and pans with non-metal handles I constantly have to keep an eye on the placement of the pan to make sure the handle isn't over the flame. Because the shape of the pot is oval, the handles are never even close to being over the flame so they never heat up.

Since the Amazon description doesn't specify the size of the pot, I had to go to the Bialetti website to find out that the volume of the pot is 5 quarts. This is a generous size and will fit large portions of noodles. The oval footprint holds more water and noodles than it first appears to and I have yet had to fill the pot more than halfway full.

Honest reviews on "Taste of Italy" 5 Quart. Pasta Pots

This pot replaced a round pasta pot that came with an ultra cheap kitchen starter set. The quality of this new pot is excellent, the heat transfer area on the bottom is sturdy and I can't see this pot becoming misshapen like my thin, cheap older pot.

I deducted a star because it took several hand washings to stop getting purple residue in the water. Also, the oval shape of the pot leads to an awkward locking method for the lid that isn't as secure as I'd like. The cheap older pot was round, and the lid positively locked by inserting tabs on the rim of the pot and rotating 90 degrees. When boiling water and steam are involved, I don't want to be concerned about a lid coming loose and dumping my food in the sink or scalding me. For the options I found when looking though, this still seems to be the best combination of quality, price, and utility.

Edit: after several months of use, I don't recommend this pot at all. It's nearly impossible to keep the lid on when draining; I have to use oven mitts and hold the lid while trying to drain... Not something I'll let my wife attempt. This is an accident waiting to happen.

Finding a good cooking fork is hard. Finding one for nonstick pans is even harder. Sharp tips easily pierce and hold. Not made for lifting a turkey, but will handle most anything else. Those fancy forks with the large grippy handles can fall out of small pans, This fork Won't. Tips are a bit flexible, but we'll see how it lasts.

I have a nylon meat fork, but the tines are a bit wide and thick for piercing or turning thinner meat cuts. The tines on the Amco fork are not strong enough for piercing or lifting solid roast cuts, etc., but then I can use the older fork for those. This fork works fine for what I wanted and I like the design sleek and easy to clean. It's a nice length and has a nice weight being neither too light or too heavy. If you need a fork for light duty turning and lifting this should serve you well, but don't expect to lift a roast or ham (even small ones) or the tines on the fork will probably cave on you.

This little egg spatula is ideal for use with a mini fry pan. It's also good for removing cookies from a baking pan.

When it's not in use, it makes a fine display on my pegboard storage wall in the kitchen.

I've been cooking for decades and until now have never had an egg turner that I really liked. This one easily and consistently flips an unbroken over-medium egg in a small or large skillet. It is thin, so easily slides under the egg, but sturdy and does well in the dishwasher. I like it so much, I'll be checking out more of this company's products.

This is a great companion for the one-egg fry pay. It works great, because these small fry pans do not accommodate a regular-sized spatula. Also, really cute-looking!

Honest reviews on Jo!e Lil Flip Nylon Egg Spatula

I love this little spatula! I must emphasize the LITTLE because it is very small (the flipper part is about 2 1/8" x 3 1/4") but PERFECT for fried eggs! It's very thin so easily slips under the eggs for a neat "over-easy flip" and my yolks actually stay intact! :)

This product worked quite well with my lil pan. I used it a lot at first until I started using a larger pan.

Best Wilton 2105-1368 Oven Right Toaster Oven Pizza Crisper, 12-Inch Deals

Customer Ratings:

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

Bought this for my pizza making hubby. And, wow did I ever do the right thing (pin a star on me!) It makes nice crispy pizza and slips right off the pan. What more can you ask for? A happy husband and a crispy slice of pizza and a glass of wine. Ahhhhh, heaven.

I bought the Metrokane Rabbit as a Christmas gift for my parents and it has since become the most indispensible item in our kitchen. We drink wine every night in our house, and have been through many a corkscrew, but absolutely nothing compares to this. The Rabbit makes short work of opening a bottle of wine for even the puniest-armed of us, and indeed, has caused one or two scuffles at dinner over who gets to open the next bottle of wine! Three swift, smooth movements will open even the most stubborn bottle, and with none of the grunting, puffing and red-faced struggling that often accompanies this manouvre. There is a particular brand of white wine I drink that is next to impossible to open if you have left the bottle to chill with the cork in it, and I actually broke 3 "traditional" corkscrews trying to open one single bottle of this. Well, in the highest praise I can summon for the Rabbit, I have not had a problem with one of these bottles since I bought it. If you are a wine-drinker, or even just a lover of gadgets, buy this now!

I've been using these Metrokanes for several years now and I wouldn't want to use anything else. They make absolutely anyone look like a pro opening a bottle of wine, while of course at the same time avoiding the occasional broken cork plunged into the bottle horror.

Whenever we have guests, they always comment on the Metrokane, and as a result I've found it makes a perfect gift. In particular, this silver model is extremely attractive.

I bought both this and the similar version from Brookstone this year. I was expecting a lot from the metrokane, but it turns out the Brookstone is much better. It's $60, but the Brookstone version will last you MUCH longer than the $45 metrokane.

Among the differences: The metrokane is made of plastic, the Brookstone is metal. The Brookstone model comes with two bottle sealers, and it's case is made of very high quality leather-like material instead of cheap plastic. Finally, my metrokane is brand new, and I've already managed to scratch the finish, since it's so cheap.

If you're looking to get a new wine opener, do yourself a favor and BUY ANOTHER BRAND.

Honest reviews on Metrokane Rabbit Wine Opener Tool Kit, Silver

Don't waste your time on this company.

My first Rabbit had a plastic handle. When it broke after several years of use, I replaced it with a metal handle Rabbit because it had 10-year warrantee. (I think the first one had a 2-year warrantee.)

The new Rabbit malfunctioned. A mission-critical piece of rubber tore, making the Rabbit useless. I sent the Rabbit to Metrokane per the package instructions. (I paid the postage and also had to enclose a check to cover *their* mailing costs.)

A week or so later, my Rabbit was returned to me without any repairs. Their note said that they couldn't find anything wrong with the thing. I phoned Metrokane to complain. They said that the rubber was not covered by the warrantee. I was told to get rubber glue to fix the thing. I checked the warrantee. Nowhere does it say that certain parts are not covered. Finally they agreed to replace it.

The replacement was defective. The Metrokane rep. copped an attitude when I complained, saying that I was probably using it incorrectly. (Remember, I'd owned a Rabbit and had used it for years, so I'm sure I knew how to use it.)

The company wouldn't send another Rabbit and I refused to spend more money to return the second defective product. I'm using a $10 knock-off now. It works every time.

If you are looking for a well functioning opener, this is not it! Much better "rabbit" type openers are on the market. First is the fact that it is mostly plastic, not metal, so don't be fooled by the metallic appearance in the photo. When opening the first bottle, (with normal cork). I noticed it was much more difficult to use than the old one (other brand) I had. It required extensive pressure to insert the cork, to the point I thought the flimsy plastic handles would break. Then I opened a second bottle with a plastic cork. This almost broke the opener when using upward pressure to remove the cork from the bottle. And after finally getting the cork out of the bottle, (it took two people), the cork would not come off of the screw. I had to manually untwist the cork from the opener. Save your money, spend a little more and get a real opener. This one is nice to look at but not functional! Real Junk, and not cheap!!

Love my Husbands stuffed artichokes, hate the usual multiple pot mess. This steamer solves that problem, and is the perfect addition to the also perfect Chefs pan from this line. Favorable compared to Calphalon. Great for healthy prep of dinner, and easy to clean. Don't forget Bartenders Friend if you want spotless results.

heavy, solid, quality steamer pan that fits perfectly on the Cooks Standard NC-00238 Multi-Ply SS Chef's Pan, which I also ordered for my induction cooktop!. These are huge and can handle a sizeable amount of food. I steamed a complete meal for 6 people composed of veges and diced potatoes around a center bowl of rice with water on the bottom steamer and salmon steak with a olive oil rub, s/p, chopped scallions and thin lemon slices on the top steamer. Perfection!! have also steamed homemade tamales and embutido! So glad I ordered these!

This is the biggest steamer insert I've ever seen. I can steam a dozen dim sum without problem. It is molded from a single layer of stainless steel, with the edge fold over. To my suprise: it got scratched fairly easy, by a ceremic plate I used when steaming a fish.

It will be nicer if it has two handles.

Every once in a while one member of our family wants soup and the other doesn't. Heating up a single serving in the microwave is efficient, but our old soup bowls are not microwave-safe. So, I ordered this, and it serves the purpose quite nicely.

But beware it does stain. I put a few strawberry's in the cup to eat later and has stains I can't remove so far. But I like that it that it does not get hot to touch when warming things in microwave.
