I ordered this pot set on a whim through a groupon. I haven't had much use with them but thought I'd write a review because there was nothing out there. The pots seems to have a good weight on them and the handles are solid i was afraid they would be flimsy from the pic. They have a nice copper tone to them. I tested them out and it boiled water in Bout 10 minI think that's average thee handles really do stay cool to the tough , just caution if you have a gas stove the handle closer to the pot gets hot. Ill update later to comment on durability

I wanted a four-quart pot with a handle for cooking pasta--but not a "stock pot" with two small handles on either side. This pot is wonderful--since it is the Farberware classic style. YOU CAN FIND A REPLACEMENT LID (without a hole) to fit this pot through JCPenney, search for replacement lid, and select the 8 inch size. The lid comes from the manufacturer "Farberware" and while it is not the "classic" style, it fits great.

I've used this kind of deep-fryer a lot; it's the kind my mother used when I was growing up. I have lots of Farberware, so I know I will love it. When I first bought my Farberware 4-qt. saucepan, there was a choice of the long handle or two small ones. I bought the one with two small handles and I've always been sorry I didn't get the other kind. I've been looking for one for a long time, and was told Farberware didn't make them anymore (all they have now are the ones with two handles). So now--I'll get the pan I want, and a deep fryer to boot, and if the hole in the top is a problem, I've already got one without a hole. And, if you've ever bought Farberware, you know that this is a great price on a great product.

I was dissapointed to see that the lid has a big hole in it so that you can't make rice in the pan for example. And they won't sell you a separate solid lid.

If my mathematical skills are wrong, someone please correct me so that I can change this rating. The description of this item on Amazon gives the size as 11 by 11 by 6. Another site gives it a diameter of 11 inches and height of 6 inches. Thus, I was expecting the width across the center to be 11 inches. To my disappointment it is only 8 inches (6 inches deep), not even wide enough for the hot dogs I buy to fit without bending slightly.

Buy Rachael Ray Stainless Steel Nonstick 8" Open Skillet, Orange

Customer Ratings:

The skillet cooks well, but the cool orange handle is heavier than the base of the skillet/pan part, and it tips over while on the stove unless you have some heavy food in it. You have to hold the handle while cooking, sometimes, or the pan will tip to the heavy side, like a see-saw. So far this is the only drawback, though!

It's beautifully weighted (all of it remains on the eye, unlike some small skillets where the end opposite the handle "pops up" while you're trying to cook on it), and the surface inside allows for a great end result. Highly recommended and a great price.

I chose top rating because the pan does everything for which I bought it. Cooking eggs is a breeze as they do not stick. Clean up is a quick wipe of the pan with a paper towel.

So far it's been great! It's much faster and cleaner than the electric citrus juicers. It also seems to get a lot more juice out than the traditional juicers. Unlike the more powerful rotating juicers it does no get any bitter rind into the juice.

Based on the reviews I read before purchasing it, I've been careful not to apply too much force too quickly, and so far it has not broken. So far, it's thumbs up!

after 2 months of almost daily use, the parts are loose and the crusher does not come down straight anymore. also if you have a orange that is thick skinned, this will not work as well as a machine which you can spin a orange on. this only crushes, so you need very thin oranges, like tangerines.

Honest reviews on Metrokane Citrus Power Professional Juicer

The juicer is a big disappointment. First of all, it's not big enough to do a grapefruit, which is a big flaw in something designed just to juice citrus fruits. Secondly, the quality of construction is actually fairly poor. The gear box is not holding together tightly after only a single use. I'm not actually sure it was tight when it arrived. I would keep looking if I were you.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Metrokane Citrus Power Professional Juicer

I read the reviews and was pleasantly surprised when I received this juicer, I like the form factor as I do not have a large kitchen and the next mechanical juicer up looks much bigger than this one. I have squeezed oranges, grapefruit, limes and tangerines this unit gets a lot of juice per squeeze. A decent sized red grapefruit barely fits and you have to guide the plunger down. I am fairly mechanically inclined and decided it would be wise to pick up a 7/16 (12 mm) flat washer to place between the shaft and the plunger head. The plunger head is easily unscrewed from the shaft to make the entire squishing assembly easy to clean. Clean up is simple and takes a few seconds to remove rinse and return. Without a doubt Metrokane could make this unit superior with a few minor changes to their design... I am happy with this juicer. If you intend to squeeze a lot of grapefruit you should consider the slightly larger mechanical juicer as you do have to pay modest attention and guide the plunger for large fruit. If you intend to be sloppy and mindlessly crank hard as you can you should get the larger mechanical juicer.

It's big, it's black, it's cast iron! I had the 15in skillet in my wish list for a long time when this one showed up in my gold box. I didn't even mind paying the higher price for a pre-seasoned piece which is a bonus for a skillet of this size. The two smaller handles on this one make it even easier to get in and out of the oven, not to mention giving it a better fit. It works just find on the stove top but will over hang the side a bit. A damp towell on the counter will help if your counter is not high heat proof. If you cook big meals for big crowds you're probably already in love with cast iron. Put this one on your list. And thank you Amazon; not many companies will wave shipping on somthing as heavy as cast iron.

With proper care this pan will last more than a lifetime. Most of the Cast Iron pans made in the late 1800's are still floating around. This pan can last that long too. While this pan is hugh and can cook lots and lots of food. It is better suited for outdoor cooking on a Campfire or a Turkey fryer base than useing in a kitchen. It is pretty big for a stove as you can have two burners heating it at once. I am glad I bought this pan. I also bought a smaller skillet for use on my home stove.

But for campfire cooking this is one of the most versitle pieces out there, you can fry in it, use it a a griddle and make monster pancakes. You can even whip up a big batch of Chili. If you like camping or even backyard cooking this is a must have. I like to use mine with a Turkey deepfryer base as the heating element it works great.

I bought this specifically for making my homemade pizza. I've found that baking pizza in a cast iron skillet that was generously coated with shortening yielded wonderful results, whether one preferred thick (my choice), or thin crust (my wife's choice). It turns out a pastry-like crust that my extended family raves over. (Be sure to use a generous amount of olive oil in the dough..4 tablespoons per two cups of flour..)Baking it at 500+ degrees is also part of the secret. This big boy lets me make a hearty pizza main course for four to five hungry adults. The cast iron also retained heat for quite a while, once out of the oven, so that my pizza stayed warm until the last slice had been eaten. Clean-up was a breeze..just wipe the pan out with a paper towel and give it a spray of cooking oil.

Yes, it's heavy, doesn't fit on a regular stove, & heats unevenly with small burners. I bought it to use on a large high output outdoor burner, it's perfect for my use.

Not a pan that I use very often, but when I do, nothing else comes close to it's utility.

Cheap Zyliss Spoon

Customer Ratings:

I had a plastic serving spoon that I'd been using for years and didn't realize how much I relied on it until it snapped one day. I looked all over for a similar spoon locally and after coming hope empty handed, off to amazon I went. This was the closest in appearance to the one I had and I was SO please when it arrived because not only was it similar to the one I had it was better. It was much much stronger and the scoop really holds a lot. My only issue with this spoon is the 'scoop' part has turned dark green which sort-of freaks me out. I mentioned it to my husband and he thought I was nuts until I showed him. I keep meaning to contact the company to see what they say but with a 6 month old I never seem to have the time. Other than the fact that it's green... I'd give this 5 stars but had to deduct one for the color change ;-) I'll update if I ever get a chance to contact them.

UPDATE: I contacted Zyliss shortly after writing this review. Customer Service was very nice, asked for a picture and said they'd ship another spoon out to me. I did have to wait almost a month to get it but at least I have a black spoon once again. Now that my spoon isn't some weird color I'd give it 5 stars.

About three years ago I purchased two of these spoons. I particularly liked these for a number of reasons: (1) cost was reasonable at around $7 with the 4 for 3 promotion and super saver shipping; (2) the design was above average, grey with splash of white in the handle; (3) the balance of the handle is strong but not too heavy; (4) there is excellent workmanship, and (5) the size of the spoon makes it work for both cooking and serving. One of my spoons looks just as good as when I purchased it; these do not scuff or show scratches. The other one met with an accident; it somehow ended up at the bottom of the dishwasher during a cleaning, and was damaged/melted because it rested on the dryer element. That has taught me about being sure to load these serving items correctly in the dishwasher. So, I'm very happy to be getting two more. I note that Zyliss has revised the size of the spoon somewhat; it's now a little narrower and deeper, which I think are improvements. Also, be aware that there is no implied warranty on this spoon, although the label does provide the manufacturer's address, toll-free phone, and website address should you have any questions or issues.

Best Deals for Zyliss Spoon

This is a fairly good spoon. I like that the bowl of the spoon is not attached to the handle low down. A low seam allow gunk to build up and isn't very sanitary. This spoon is just the right length for stirring in a pot and it's well balanced. The deep bowl of the spoon makes it handy for serving as well. The reason it did not get more stars is because of an oddity with the design. I find that it will not stay submerged in liquid. It pops to the top, turns over and floats. Easy enough to live with unless the spoon has been left to dry with food on it. It's difficult to soak a spoon that won't stay down in the water. Despite that, I would probably buy another one because the price is fair and it doesn't scratch my non-stick pans.

Honest reviews on Zyliss Spoon

Zyliss, while being a relatively unknown company, makes a great line of kitchen products. Their salad spinner is the best I've ever used. On to the spoon...

I love cooking with my fancy copper pots and pans, but man do they scratch easily with stainless utensils. The obvious solution is to use wooden spoons. I love wooden spoons, but I don't love constantly replacing them when they splinter or split. This spoon is a great compromiseit won't scratch like steel will but lasts much longer than wood. It's also dishwasher safe. I've used it over high heat and it has not melted or warped. I have never noticed it imparting any "plasticy" flavors to even delicate sauces as some plastic products do. It loses a star because of the size. The bowel of the spoon is rather small, which makes ladling sauces and soups from a pot impossible. Of course that's what ladles are for, but hey I want it all for a 5* review.

Good spoon for stirring and general cooking. The stem seems a trifle thin, but it doesn't bend or interfere with stirring or other cooking motions. Very easy to clean and long enough to deal with large pots--but short enough to hang from a hook on the side of my refrigerator.

Pyrex No Leak Lids Rectangle Baking Dishes Review

Customer Ratings:

Like many people these days I was looking to replace my old, barely-functioning plastic storage containers and upgrade to glass for health reasons. In my quest for the best product I bought and ultimately returned Snapware Glasslock, Kinetic Glasslock, and Anchor Hocking TrueSeal. The Anchor Hocking TrueSeal leaked like a sieve so that was an immediate no. The Snapware Glasslock and Kinetic Glasslock both were leakproof, but I decided against them because I like the look of Pyrex No Leak better, and it has additional benefits such as a microwaveable lid and oven proof glass.

What I love about Pyrex No Leak: First and foremost it is 100% leakproof. I was a little worried about buying Pyrex because their Basic Glass Containers (blue lids) and Glass Lids Containers (red lids) are definitely not leakproof. I tested the Pyrex No Leak out of the box by filling them with water and shaking them upside down, not one drop came out. Yesterday, I packed soup for lunch and my lunch bag turned upside down in the car. The No Leak performed great and not a drop was spilled. The round and rectangular shapes are equally waterproof.

Next I feel that Pyrex No Leak has the best overall features of any glass containers on the market. The lids are BPA-free, and the containers are freezer, microwave, and dishwasher (top rack) safe. While these features are pretty standard, Pyrex No Leak containers are also oven-safe (glass containers only) and the lids are microwaveable. All the competing lids must be removed for microwave use, and while I am trying to get away from using plastic, the reality is there are times when I don't have or don't want to use a paper towel and isn't it nice that I can simply use the lid if I want? Also the clean up is easy. To wash in the dishwasher I remove the inner rubber seal from the lid and place the seal, lid, and container in the top rack. I haven't had any issues with the lid warping or the glass containers breaking or anything like that. I've also washed the containers by hand and that is quick and easy as well.

Finally, the Pyrex No Leak containers look fantastic. The grey lids are a nice neutral color that will go with any decor. At first I was looking for clear lids. I have a few Rubbermaid Stainshield containers and I love being able to see the food through the top of the container. So I thought I would love the locking lids from Snapware and Kinetic. My personal feeling is that, sitting atop a clear glass container, the clear plastic lids look cloudy by comparison. Also I really like that the No Leak lids are traditionally styled (no lock down tabs on the sides). It looks very streamlined and modern.

Overall I am very happy with my Pyrex No Leak containers and I've ordered a bunch more. My only complaints are the following: The glass containers are hot to the touch after microwaving. This will of course be true of any glass containers, not just these. Pyrex, if you are listening I would love to see you offer a removable rubber sleeve that can go over the glass containers for microwave use (much like the cardboard sleeves that coffee shops use). Of course if I'm at home I can just use an oven mitt to remove the container, but the rubber sleeve would be great for work and travel. Another disappointment was actually the microwave vent in the lid. With my old plastic containers I would just loosen the lid and place it on top to microwave. Pyrex No Leak has a specially designed vent, and I excited to try this new feature. I reheated split pea soup in the microwave with the lid on and the microwave vent opened and after 1:30 I had split pea explosion all over the microwave. I reheated the same soup, but this time left the microwave vent closed and placed the lid loosely on top, and it heated beautifully, no mess. So I'm still giving the product five stars because it works great using the alternate method. As a side note, I was initially worried that Pyrex No Leak containers do not nest. You must put the lids on and stack them for storage. I have a LOT of containers, but this has not been an issue for me. Glass containers are going to take up more space than plastic anyway so I don't think you save too much room by having containers that nest.

I currently own the 2-cup round, 4-cup round, 3-cup rectangular, and 6-cup rectangular containers. I have since ordered more of these plus the 7-cup round and 11-cup rectangular. I wish they offered a 1 cup size, but they do not. The 2, 3, and 4-cup sizes are great for lunches. I'm looking forward to getting the 7-cup and 11-cup for large batches of leftovers.

These are a perfect size to take a lunch to work or to store some small items in your fridge. The glass is heavy duty and the lid seals tightly. The reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is they don't stack very well. I have some other rectangular pyrex containers that have a small slope to the sides so that they can stack; they don't go nest the way down but at least partway, and they are easy to remove from each other. These get stuck together if you stack them; you'll need to put a piece of paper to keep them separated if you stack them.

Honest reviews on Pyrex No Leak Lids Rectangle Baking Dishes

These are leak-proof because each container come with a 3rd piece; a gasket that snaps into the lid. Now you have a gasket AND a corresponding groove in the lid (narrow) to clean after each use. I hate hate, hate, hate cleaning those gaskets, after bringing my lunch to work.

The gasket is a nuisance.

I own the 3-cup and 6-cup containers. They look nice and can be used in the freezer, refrigerator, oven, and microwave. The lids are BPA-free and, so far, have worked well in the microwave. The vent on the lids, for microwaving, is very useful. I also like the fact that the glass and the lids are both made in the USA.

Amazon is my favorite place to shop but this item is overpriced at the moment. The 3-cup container is being sold for almost $10. I purchased a set of 3 containers, two 6-cup and one 3-cup, for $14 and change at my local Target.

I own practically everything this company has ever made, even some pieces that haven't been made in years. I have cookware, utensils, canisters, you name it. I generally don't buy designer items, but I try to buy quality. This line has been one of the best investments in my home I've ever made.

Just a couple of months ago, after having a conversation asking if they'd examine some of my cookware (the bottoms on those pieces were not flat enough to use on my glass top range without spinning around), I mailed off 4 of my larger pieces.

Thanks to All Clad, I have brand new, non-spinning cookware items3 qt and 6 qt saute pans, an 8 qt stockpot, and a 12" frypan.

I found them to be very kind, and when it was all said and done, they replaced every piece from the over 17-year old set that I sent them without question or hesitation. They even included brand new lids for the 3 items I sent that use them without requesting the lids from my old cookware.

By that same token, I will continue to support All Clad, and just like they did for me, it will be without question or hesitation.

Yes, wow.

I have been cooking with cast iron for many years but, due to the nature of the material, one is limited in cookware offerings.

When I saw this 3 quart sauté pan on sale for $100, I went and bought one. I LOOOOOOVE it!!!

I cook with a gas stove and have always had to rotate my cast iron pieces while cooking in order to prevent hot spots. I immediately noticed that I didn't need to do that with the All Clad. I am amazed at how evenly the heat is dispersed. But that's not all the pan is sexy and a pleasure to pick up and flip. I can't do that with cast iron without getting tunnel carpal syndrome.

The final plus is being able to pick up the pan WITHOUT a glove. I can't tell you how many times I have burned myself unthinkingly grabbing a cast iron handle.

If you love to cook, get this pan. You will love cooking even more!

Now, if I can dump my cast iron off on to some unsuspecting soul on craigslist, I plan on picking up many more pieces of All Clad.

Cheers. Rudy.

Buy Joyce Chen 33-2047 Burnished Bamboo Tongs, 11-Inch

Customer Ratings:

Bought these tongs because I was tired of using the nylon/silicone tongs we've had for ages and seeing all kinds of food items slip out of them.

These bamboo tongs have been fantastic. The bamboo grain has an interesting ability to grip onto things. Food items from bacon to chicken breasts to hot dogs can be picked up firmly without any concern that they will slip out or be dropped.

The length also means you can use them without fear of getting burned, although unless you have a pretty strong grip (which my wife does not, it seems) you still have to grip them a little more than halfway up. (which means you're not a full 11" away from the hot pan.)

All in all though, in the short couple of months we've had these I've found myself reaching for them more often than our other cooking tongs.

Only think I don't like: the brand sticker used on the top of the tongs left some sticky glue residue when it was removed. Not a big deal it's easily removed with some goo-be-gone or similar.

***UPDATE FOR 2012*** So, it's been a few years now and here's the latest: I had 2 pairs of these tongs. One is still alive and kicking, the other not so much. the glue at the top delaminated and it essentially fell apart. I've actually kept the two pieces and use one for stirring iced tea in a large pitcher. The other piece has been used in the laundry and garage so far it was used for a while to stir white washrags in a bleach bath, but recently it was in the garage used for mixing paint. :-) Still use them both all the time though...

Pros: 1. Beautiful bamboo wood with a natural polish, a compliment for any home-chef's kitchen! 2. Center hole to hang on hooks i.e. if you had a bar where you hang frequently used kitchen items; 3. Easy to clean

Cons: 1. I realized I had to use my fingers to part it open in order to grab bigger foods, at least foods with more width than the opening of the tongs... 2. Requires good grip for heavier/larger foods or else food will slip 3. Too short, wish i'd gotten something longer

Summary/Final Thoughts:

I would not purchase this product again. It is a great item for any of you looking for a simple tong for small things like bacon strips, veggies, etc this product is A+ However if you're subsituting it for a real spring tong that can open wider for heavier/larger foods, this is not it. Think of this as two chop sticks joined together, that's the best analogy i can offer, let your imagation take it from there ^_^

A little daunting to master, but once you find the right place to hold it it works well. I think my silicon tipped tongs work just as well, but it's a nice tool for your wok arsenal. Doesn't handle larger chucks of protein, but shellfish and strips of meat and poultry do just fine.

Honest reviews on Joyce Chen 33-2047 Burnished Bamboo Tongs, 11-Inch

This item is nice and cleans well, great for toast, however not too useful for anything much else as the tongs part is so narrow it doesn't grasp too much. Would not purchase again.

I bought these to go with a new toaster, which, despite being fantastic in every other respect, was not good at allowing me to extract small slices of toast.

The tongs turned out to be ideal. Inexpensive, attractive, easy to use and a pleasure to have in the kitchen.

If your intention is to use them for wide items, then I don't think that you will be as happy, as you will have to spread the jaws to encompass the item.

However, for me they are great.
