I love this steamer because it fits in All Clad sauce pans from 2 to 4 quarts. The other version with the long handle doesn't fit the 2-quart. I'm usually cooking for one or two, so the smaller capacity suits me.

Works beautifully. Easy to care for (dishwasher safe).

Okay, I admit I have an All-Clad fetish after spending a small fortune on my Copper Core set, and a stainless non-stick skillet. So naturally I had to have this steamer insert as well. It looks just beautiful with the All-Clad pots, pretty enough to serve from at the table with company, and it performs MARVELOUSLY! Not a bit of steam escapes from either the connection at the pan, or from the steamer's lid. The food steams fast and furious and wonderfully--much better than with the old collapsible type steamer I used with my former Calphalon.

I also like that the moment the food is done, I can toss directly into the steamer a little butter or oil and some salt, and mix it around with the veggies quickly and easily--which was NOT the case with the collapsible type steamers that had to be removed from the pan before anything could be done to them (usually burning at least one finger or thumb!)

It fits my Copper Core 1.5 quart and 2 quart saucepans the best. It does fit the larger 4 quart saucepan as well, though the connection between the pot and steamer is not perfect--almost, but it does not seat perfectly as with the smaller saucepans, which if fine as they are all you need even even when steaming a large batch of veggies or clams in this steamer.

Ahhh, I've reached steamer nirvana, at last...!

Highly recommend this piece of All-Clad for a splurge--you're worth it!

This steamer is not of the same quality as the USA manufactured All-Clad cookware. It is lighter in weight and the handles and lid are not as nicely constructed. You are mistaken if you think you are getting the real deal with this item! I am sending it back. The consumer ought to know what he/she is getting!

Honest reviews on All-Clad 59915 Stainless Steel All-Purpose Steamer with Lid

I was disappointed with this product because of the quantity of food that it accomodates. Steam holes do not cover the entire bottom of this steamer and food may scorch when not placed directly over the steam holes. Food can only be placed toward the bottom center of the steamer over the steam holes to prevent scorching. I have another stainless steamer that I prefer because steam holes cover the entire bottom of the steamer. However, this steamer is o.k. for steaming a smaller amount of food where all of the food fits over the steam holes in the center bottom of the steamer.

I spent a bit of time recently trying to get several inserts for my All-Clads pots, pans and stock pots. The information herein is to help people trying to get the right steamer or boiler insert for their All-Clad pots & pans.Here's what I found:

1. I DID NOT BUY the steamer which these reviews are supposed to be covering, namely the All-Clad Stainless All-Purpose Steamer with Lid. I didn't buy it because I wasn't sure it would fit my older All-Clad pans. The All-Clad Stainless All-Purpose Steamer with Lid is also known as All-Clad part # 8700800513 and is made to fit current 2, 3 and 4 quart All-Clad stainless sauce pans and casseroles. It is said to be 8 1/4 inches in diameter and 4 3/4 inches deep.

2. The item I DID BUY is a 3-quart steamer insert, All-Clad part # 8701004547, and it is available for US sixty dollars at many websites. It does not have a lid and does not have loop handles. It has a sauce pan styled handle and you use it with the lid that comes with your sauce pan. See All-Clad 3-qt. Stainless Steamer Insert.It fits 3 & 4-quart sauce pans in All-Clad's "Stainless" collection. These pans have an 8-inch inside diameter. It may not fit similarly sized pans in All-Clad's other collections!!!

3. The steamer insert I DID Buy is complemented by All-Clad's 3-quart (double) boiler insert part # 8701004490. It is not a steamer. It is a (double) boiler insert. See All-Clad Stainless 3-Quart Double-Boiler Insert. It does not have a lid and does not have loop handles. It has a sauce pan styled handle and you use it with the lid that comes with your sauce pan. It fits 3 & 4-quart sauce pans in All-Clad's "Stainless" collection. These pans have an 8-inch inside diameter. It may not fit similarly sized pans in All-Clad's other collections!!!

4. The holes in the bottom of either steamer insert mentioned above do not extend to the outer edge of the bottom of the insert. The holes only cover about 2/3's of the bottom, radiating out from the center. Some people have complained about "scorching" because of this.

5. All these steamer & boiler inserts are thinner than the corresponding saucepans they fit. This is not really a flaw, however, since they don't need to be so thick to function properly only as inserts.

6. All these inserts are made in China. As I understand it, all All-Clad tri-ply cookware currently is made in the U.S. Non-tri-ply items like all these inserts may be made elsewhere to save costs.

7. Another item to consider is All-Clad's small double boiler # 8400000266, described as a "stainless steel 2-quart sauce pan with porcelain double boiler." The insert is smaller than the 3-quart inserts mentioned above, is porcelain (not stainless) and is meant for smaller, finer sauces and such. It is not a steamer. It is a small double boiler. See All-Clad Stainless Steel 2 Qt. Sauce Pan With Porcelain Double Boiler.It is made in the U.S.

8. If you need detailed info on various All-Clad steamer, boiler or colander inserts also check out That site has detailed specs on the various choices that may be more accurate than Amazon's. Prices are the same.

I hope this is not too confusing, and will be helpful to someone.

Reviews of GSI Outdoors 12-Inch Aluminum Dutch Oven (Silver, 5-Quart)

Customer Ratings:

I took it camping and it performed well. Holds heat and allows you to cook low and slow. I did a stew and even managed to cook bannock bread in it.

I love this dutch oven. This is actually my second one. I used both last night to cook using charcoal and they work perfect. I have read some reviews that say these ovens are more likely to have hot spots, but I have not experienced that. They cook just as well as any cast iron oven I have used in the past. I love how light they are and the fact that you can wash them. Being aluminum, you won't have to worry about rust. No hesitation recommending this oven.

Honest reviews on GSI Outdoors 12-Inch Aluminum Dutch Oven (Silver, 5-Quart)

I've owned a few cast iron black pots for years, and I researched this particular item off and on during that time. I finally decided to buy this in order to lessen the burden of handling heavy equipment during some outings. What I really wanted to buy but haven't seen the offer for a while (I should've jumped on it back then) was the combo of the 12" and nested 10" set for just a few bucks more than what I paid for this one. It was a GSI item as well. Nevertheless, I found this item to be exactly what I expected. The price isn't bad either considering the impact of inflation over the years when I hesitated. Needless to say, Amazon's free shipping always adds value to an online purchase. The delivery was timely and the product was in great condition. (Sometimes with careless handling, cast metal pots get damaged and have to be returned). I cooked in it a couple of times already and all went well. Of course, the user has to keep in mind about the cooking charactistics of a cast aluminum pot versus a cast iron pot in order to accommodate a good experience.

Buy Calphalon One Nonstick 3-Quart Round Brasier

Customer Ratings:

I really don't want to get into a lot of details but let me tell you, there is NO MATCH for the Calphalon ONE Nonstick line. There are soooo many calphalon lines like 'commercial', 'simply calphalon', 'classic', 'contemporary', 'cooking with calphalon', 'kitchen essentials from calphalon' etc. But the build quality of the Calphalon ONE line is like of Lexus when compared to even the top-of-the-line craps from lincoln/cadillacs: the build quality/finishing is ONE-OF-A-KIND in the cookware industry. You've seen many many hard anodized cookware surfaces, right? This one is Anodized, the surface is smooth (no visible lines).

Use: Heats up fast, even, handle stays cool and holds heat very well. The lid is VERY WELL MADE. Clean up is crazy easy.

If you are in the market for quality cookware, please don't kid yourself. Get the best you can get. One thing is that you won't find absolutely ANY SALE on these prices. Amazon's sale price (as well as all other vendors) IS THE MSRP by Calphalon (check their website). But Amazon usually has coupons which will bring the price down. Every penny you will spend on this is worth it.

If you own anything else besides Calphalon ONE and you think you have GREAT cookware, you are kidding yourself or your standards of perfection is low.

If you do get cookware from this line, you MUST use a pot rack to hang these. Stacking on top of each other should be avoided at all times.

Best Cuisinart DCC-RWF1 Replacement Coffeemaker Water Deals

List Price: $15.00

Some time ago, I decided to stop using these expensive filters. I already have a Brita charcoal activated filter and use that filtered water directly into my Cuisinart. No problem and very good coffee. When I was using the small Cuisinart filters, I experienced a lot of problems with slow water feed resulting in steam and other problems. I decided, after spending some $16 on filters over a period of a year, that I was just wasting money on these filters. I cleaned the coffee maker after I stopped using the filters, am getting excellent coffee and no more slow water feed and a fine running coffee maker. The coffee tastes as good or better. But, please note that I am using filtered water just not filtering it in the coffee maker.

This year, I found that the filter serves another purpose which is to prevent the occasional overflowed coffee ground from clogging the feed line and preventing all of the water to pass through the filter so you end up with less cups of coffee output compared to cups of water input. With pure water, the filter will last a long time. The root cause of the slow water feed in the paragraph above turned out to be a clogged valve in the feed line.

It is very important when using this coffee maker to have the right grind size. Excessive number of fines can lead to clogging.

I purchased these filters from Amazon and am very happy with them. I really noticed an improved taste in my coffee. I think this is a great investment to help maintain the taste of the coffee and increase the lifespan of your coffee maker by reducing build-up from water minerals.

Best Deals for Cuisinart DCC-RWF1 Replacement Coffeemaker Water

I live in Seoul, South Korea, where it is inadvisable to drink water directly from the tap. Unless, that is, your idea of a good time is to let a little amoebic dysentery cozy up and get friendly with your colon.

Okay, so, the water isn't ALWAYS that scary to drink. Just, uh, just most of the time.

Even when the water doesn't make you sick, it usually tastes like it's been funneled through an old radiator. Coffeemakers, generally speaking, don't include water filters because the brewing process ostensibly kills all of the harmful bacteria. But you can still taste the heavy-metal-goodness in every last drop of leaden java. Lip smacking!

Anyhoo, I purchased a Cuisinart Coffeemaker recently (oh, how I love that machine), and it came with a package of these little filter fellows, and let me tell you, they do the trick. Gone are the filamental-flavors, the taste of scalded electrical wire! All that's left is pure watery goodness, the clean, crisp clarity of two spic-n-span H's and one well-scrubbed O. Now, if this little wunder-filter can do THAT for the brackish dreck that passes for water in Seoul, imagine how much more effective it would be on YOUR water!

Uh. Assuming you also do not live in Seoul. Or, er, Mexico. And parts of Bangladesh. And most of Haiti. And also, maybe, Djibouti. (Although I think Djibouti's been getting its act together with the public water works system these days, thanks to macro-economic reform programs. See the comments section below.)

NOTE: Some elements of the above review may have been exagerrated in order to titillate easily-titillated readers. Readers with tender sensibilities should not have read the previous review.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart DCC-RWF1 Replacement Coffeemaker Water

Purchasing this three-pack gives great value. Purchasing online also eliminates trying to find this product, since it is not routinely stocked where one would normally purchase the coffee maker itself.

Does a good job at improving the taste of the coffee, but more importantly to me is it also filters out coffee grinds that may accidently spill into the water chamber... a nice plus! Change the filter regularly and it will also extend the life of the coffee maker.

I do not recommend this product to anybody. The whistle on this kettle is made out of cheap plastic. After around 2 weeks of use the whistle melted. This can possibly start a fire at your house if the melted plastic will come in contact with flammable materials. I used the kettle on a gas stove. You might be safe if you have an electric stove, since there is not that much heat radiated around the burner. However, this is defiantly a design flaw and I think the product should not be sold as it is not safe to use.

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."

I was reluctant to give up my worn out non-stick pots and pans, but due to potential health issues associated with them, I bought the All-Clad 10 piece cookware. Surprisingly this cookware is very easy to clean. For the tougher jobs, a little pre-soak is all that is needed. Although a little pricey, these pots and pans cook food evenly and fast. They are heavy, and the handles will get hot so pot holders will be necessary. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Zyliss Silicone Slotted Turner Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I was looking for a turner for eggs that the eggs would not stick to and require scraping with a knife to remove the cooked on residue which is always the case with nylon spatulas. Eggs don't stick to silicon rubber so I was hoping that this would be the answer. Unfortunately, only the end is silicon rubber. The eggs don't stick to the end, but they do stick to the body of the spatula. It is an improvement over plain nylon, but is still not ideal.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

While the spatula has a comfortable weight, the handle is just the slight bit too long to be ideally usable.

Additionally, the front ( the "bar" which connects the "prongs") is too soft. I often cannot satisfactorily get underneath food far enough to flip it without pushing it against the edge of the pan, which should not be necessary in a spatula.

That said, it's cheap enough that I'm managing for the summer, but I wouldn't buy this for serious long-term use.

Best Deals for Zyliss Silicone Slotted Turner

This is a really good spatula. It's relatively large, meaning it's easy to turn eggs or pancakes with. The grip is comfortable, and it cleans up easily. Note that the first quarter inch of the leading edge of the spatula is very flexible, while the rest is more stiff, meaning that the front edge will conform when pressed under objects that you are trying to turn. It also means that the leading edge isn't very good for scraping, since it is soft and flexible, but most cooking that involves a spatula will ideally not result in scraping (although we all make mistakes!).

In any case, we got two of them and have no complaints.

Honest reviews on Zyliss Silicone Slotted Turner

This is a very good spatula. It is for delicate work in a pan and not for scraping. One problem I have had is that the end bends backwards and then breaks off after a few months. It is possible that I just got a poor example, but because the spatula is so useful, I will certainly be getting some more.
