Love this American made cast iron skillet for one or two eggs. I make "Egg McMuffins" with this. It's also a great size to make a little frittata. Whatever you make will fit into a muffin or sandwich bread. I plan to make individual corn bread. I'm thinking of more things to make...I'm addicted!

I would advise everyone to buy the lid, that way things cook more evenly top and bottom.

The only thing is that I think you should still season it even though it says it's pre-seasoned. I had things stick so pre-season or use enough oil to prevent sticking.

A lot smaller than expected. 5" is for the top of it, but with the angled sides, the actual bottom is only 3.5".

This skillet is very small; You won't be able to cook much in it. The one advantage, is that it's perfectly shaped to make an egg for a breakfast sandwich, when used with the lid. Besides that, you could toast spices, melt butter, make an individual brownie, or reheat a single biscuit.

I respectfully disagree about being able to make a grilled cheese sandwich in this. You can't; It's too small.

I tried cooking 3 sausage links with this. Due to the small size, they ended up "deep frying" in their own grease, which I don't like. I'd recommend the 8 inch skillet for that purpose.

I was able to find another good use; roasting garlic cloves on the stovetop, using the lid. Peel the cloves, add olive oil, and cook for an hour or more on very low heat.

My conclusion is, if you want to roast garlic or make perfectly shaped eggs for breakfast sandwiches, get this skillet, and be sure to also purchase the lid for even top/bottom heating! Otherwise, get the 6 inch round, or 5 inch square wonder skillet, which actually has more cooking area and you CAN cook a grilled cheese sandwich. I wish Lodge made a lid for those!

I found another use for this skillet today. There was a recipe that called for a 1/2 egg. So what to do with the other half? Cook it in this skillet and give it to the dog as a treat. Similarly, what do you do when your package of steak includes a very tiny strip, too small for the grill? Cook it in this skillet for the dog.

Honest reviews on Lodge L5MS3 Mini Skillet, 5-inch

I recently went on a cast iron binge, to replace all of my aging non-stick teflon pots and pans. Bought a bunch of Lodge cast iron,including this Lodge Logic 5 inch mini skillet.

I wanted something that I could melt butter in on the stove, or cook a single egg in, and use for other really tiny jobs. I looked at the 14 oz melting pot, but based on feedback, it didn't sound like it would sit very well on my electric stove. So, I opted for this, along with the 5 inch lid.

It's great. I've used it to melt butter for making pancakes, etc., rather than nuking it in the microwave. It works great for cooking a single egg. Note: if you haven't mastered flipping an egg without a spatula, restaurant-style, you might hate trying to fry an egg in it. It might be be nigh unto impossible to get a spatula under the egg.

These would also be great as individual serving "dishes". I am planning to buy a couple more for that purpose. I am also going to take this camping with me in a week. It's perfect for those little oddball things. It would make a great spoon rest, too.

But note....it is REALLY small. I believe someone else pointed out that the 5 inches is the measurement across the top. It is about 3.25 to 3.5 across the bottom. It's smaller than you think. If you need to cook two eggs, or want to fry a single hamburger, you want something larger.

Did I mention that it is VERY cute? It would make a cool decorative item for a cabin or rustic/country kitchen. I am quite entertained by it. :)

I specifically purchased these skillets for the purpose of making the half-baked cookie desserts, Pizookies (if you have never heard of that, you are missing out!

Seriously, Pizookies are absolutely the best dessert ever and these skillets cook them perfectly! I plan to purchase more so that I can entertain larger parties. The way I like to make these is to just make plain cookie dough, and then set out chips and nuts for people to build their own. Then I bake them at 475 degrees for about 6-8 minutes and then serve with a scoop of ice cream on top (also, you might want to serve the actual skillet on a plate with a pot holder over the handle for obvious reasons).

These skillets really are a perfect size for the dessert and I've used them about dozen times now with no signs of degrading whatsoever (although, I'm careful to follow the cleaning instructions).

I love, love, love this little contraption. I have a Black and Decker steamer, which works well too, but I can't stand the cleanup on those things. You have to take it apart, try and get all excess material out of the grid, try to wash the base without immersing the electrical cord...even with the metal in-basket steamers you come across the same messy cleanup involving two or three pieces and/or pots and pans. Which, I suppose, wouldn't be a problem for someone wanting to make several servings of steamed veggies, but when it's just you...you don't want the hassle. With this little steamer (which is about the same size as most cereal bowls) I can make individual portions of veggies in a matter of minutes in the microwave. Which is good because I like to shake it up a bit on my seasonings and this gives me the flexibility of making different flavors each time. I just sprinkle on the toppings before zapping the items. Cleanup is where it really, really shines. The slits in the plastic aren't as hard to clean as a grid or those metal steaming baskets that seem to trap everything in their folds. Just immerse in water and clean like a regular bowl. And with only a tablespoon or two of water added before cooking, there's less chance of "drowning" your food. Always a good thing. Can't say enough good things about this steamer.

I bought this for using at work to have a healthier

alternative to the cafeteria. It does the job and makes

the right amount of steamed vegetables for a single serving.

I'd estimate it takes at least about 1 1/2 cups raw veggies by

volume if not a little more. I followed the directions and

put inside the measured amount of recommended water, but now

I just turn on the faucet and put in what looks about the same

as the measured amount. I also reduce the power on the microwave to a medium high and follow the recommended minutes for the different veggies. I wrote on the bottom with a permanent ink pen the recommended times and water amount as a reminder for myself. After microwaving the directions say to keep the steamer closed for a few minutes. So far I've steamed broccoli/cauliflower/carrots and green beans in it with perfect results. Made in China

This is a great product, especially for a smaller family. I would have given it 5 stars but the directions are a little lacking. It has to have a fair amount of water in it (not just a couple of tablespoons) but it works very well.

Honest reviews on Progressive GMMC-46 Mini Microwave Steamer, 2-Cups

This is a great microwave personal size steamer. The steamer insert has an inside diameter of 5 inches and is 2 1/2 inches deep. It can hold about 8 ounces of carrot or zucchini slices, 2 mini-cobs of frozen corn, about 9 1/2 ounces of peas or chopped broccoli or spinach. You might be able to squeeze a little extra above the edge of the insert since the lid has a depth of 1 inch. As everyone says, it steams perfectly and clean up is a breeze.

I have had this steamer for one year and I use it several times per week for steaming vegetables in the microwave. It is a small steamer that only holds about a cup and a half of vegetables so it is perfect for two people. The water heats up very quickly so it typically steams the vegetables within three minutes. The steam basket comes out and it is easy to use as a small strainer for cleaning strawberries or raspberries. The best part about this steamer is that you can throw it right in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. I love this steamer and I would never go back to using a pot with boiling water.

This is not my first Le Creuset pot (by a large margin), but it is my first in the new Signature series. Of course it is beautiful, durable, well made, and all that. But the most important thing is how wonderfully these French pots work. I have made the same dishes in stainless steel and other materials, and they are just not at all the same as when I use Le Creuset enamelled cast iron.

The very slightly different look is lovely and the new knobs are much nicer, so kudos for that LC.

This 9qt is a great size. I didn't have anything between my 6.75qt and my 13.25qt so I just had to bite the bullet and get this one. No more using stainless steel stock pots (not that there is anything wrong with stainless steel for boiling potatoes or pasta) when I need an 8-9qt size for braising or oven-simmering!

I think that Le Creuset pots are the best out there and their warranty can't be beat.

I have been buying Le Creuset pieces for my wife over the years and we already had the 2.5 quart dutch oven. She had requested a larger dutch oven and was stuck with whether to buy the 7 quart or the 9 quart. I ended up buying the 9 and I am really glad I did. It was a significant jump from 2.5 qt but not as huge as the available 13 qt. Perfect size for those larger dishes. Highly recommended.

Cheap American 11.75" Grill Pan

American 11.75' Grill Pan
Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars
Buy Now
I love Staub and LeCreuset. I chose the Staub grill pan over the other because it was a tad bigger in size. It is GREAT for grilling meats to get those nice sear marks. You can use it inside the oven for a braise. Staub is well made and will last forever. It can be a little tough to clean up sometimes but I just allow it to soak in a little warm water and use a non-scratch pad for touch areas.

I would like to add that for practicality purposes -I must confess that I really haven't used this pan as much as I thought I would after owning if for approx 9 months. I find myself reaching for the cast iron skillet to sear meats in order to sear all of it -and popping in the oven to finish off if needed. If I want grill marks, I'll use the gas grill outside. This is just a personal preference and is by no means meant to dishonor the fine quality product that the Staub grill pan is. I would have bought a cast iron Staub skillet if I didn't already have a similar product.

Staub makes top quality skillets and grill pans and you can't go wrong with them. Yes, they are expensive so make sure you will use them!!

My wife and I have spent a lot of money in our life time buying pots and pans. Some even claims "life Time Warranty" and cost triple the price, but nothing last a life time, not even close. When it was time to purchase another set, I did a lot of research (for days). Consumers Report, Amazon.com, etc. Earth Pan received very good reviews over all and it was safe (no PTFEs or PFOAs)we have young children.

The first few days, everything was fine. We read the instructions twice to make sure we followed everything to the letter.

Cons:

1. Non-stick: It still sticks, and depends on what you are cooking, cleaning up afterwards could still be time consuming.

2. Stainless steel handles gets very hot, so be careful, or get the plastic/rubber handle set.

3. Somehow when you get stains on the outside of the pots or pans, NO WAY of cleaning it off. I have research the internet and tried everything, and the stains are still there.

4. Like many other complaints about this set, yes, the pots are too small for everyday use. I agreed.

Pro:

1. Earth pan is well made and attractive.

2. Price is right.

If oneday the non-stick coating comes off (and they will, like all the other non sticks cookwares we ever own), I don't have to worry about harmful chemicals getting into our bodies (espically our kid's).

Update: 11/30/09

These pans are just as bad as the others. It sticks really bad after 3 months. I am so disappointed! Days of research and the "Consumers Report Rating" has not provided me with any satisfactions. Don't buy this. Really.

My husband is very cautious to read reviews before making 'major' purchases. He was very impressed with the reviews and the eco-friendly aspect of these pans therefore he bought the set for me for Christmas (on my request for new pans). I absolutely loved these at first. I made sure everyone in the hhouse knew how they were to be used and cared for so we could keep them like new as long as possible. About 6 months into owning them, one pan got ruined i think my teen-aged son sprayed cooking spray in it. There was absolutely nothing i could do to get it clean and have things not stick. Now its about 1 year later and the pan i use the most is sticking horribly. I am very dissappointed in these pans and hope that anyone who buys them doesnt get their expectations up too high. We are going with cast iron...tried and true easier to maintain, clean and more durable.

My inlaws got these for us because Consumer Reports gave them an excellent rating. We liked the weight and overall quality, and loved the fact that they were made without hazardous chemicals. However, after less than 1 month of proper use, the smallest fry pan had lost its nonstick quality and the next size up was wearing too. We returned the pans and got the similarly priced Rachel Ray set instead. It's been 6 months and the Rachel Ray pans are still in perfect condition.

Honest reviews on Earth Pan 10-Piece Hard Anodized Cookware Set

We purchased these after a great deal of research. The pans arrived quickly and were packaged well. They are heavy and seem well-made. As for appearance they are very nice. The handles seem solid and the lids are tight fitting and heavy. I've read complaints about the pans being too heavy, but that's not something I feel is a bad thing. The non-stick coating works very well. Eggs, sauces, even oatmeal has not been a problem at all. I have not had any problems with denting or problems with the coating (although we follow directions quite closely, lest we ruin something because of our ineptitude). The conduct heat very well and you need to use a lower heat setting because of this. The use of vegetable oil is not recommended, so we haven't used it! My only problem with the set (and it was my own fault for not thinking) is the size of the saute pans. They are perfect for two, perhaps three people. But in our family of 4 they tend to be a bit small. The sizes were clearly stated and I should have paid more attention to them. The 8 qt stockpot is wonderful though and like the other saucepans tapers in towards the middle slightly which makes emptying them much easier. For an experienced chef these would probably not suffice, (but what chef would use non-stick?!?) but for home-style cooking with easy clean-up and an affordable price I don't really think you could go wrong with these.

Cheap Calphalon Nylon Utensils Potato Masher

Calphalon Nylon Utensils Potato Masher
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I have a girlfriend but when I'm in the kitchen, Calphalon is my paramour.

Which is why this masher saddens me. The other reviewers have it right, smooth design, sturdy construction, gets into tight spaces, and a strong tactile response. But those are things I look for in a hammer, not a potato masher.

The mashing end is HIGHLY inefficient: holes are too small, plastic supersedes the space available for pressing food through. And so much is stuck in those holes and on the underside of the masher once you're through. A plain wire masher won't scratch your nonstick pans (assuming you're acquainted with finesse), isn't a tenth as wasteful, and is MUCH more efficient.

Bottom Line:

I strongly suggest getting something else to fulfill your mashing needs.

I was a little hesitant about trying this masher because it is thicker than the metal one I had been using. I usually slide the masher under the potatoes as I mash to move the bottom to the top for mashing. I have been getting away from the metal tools to protect my new stainless cookware. So I decided to try this masher. I'm glad I did!! It works great and my old metal masher is now in the box for Goodwill.

I don't think I was using it roughly, just the way I would think it should be used. Anyway, I do not recommend this product, although Calphalon usually does not disappoint.

I love this rack once it was finally up on the wall. Install was a bit of work, i have to admit i had to put the ole thinking cap on to get this up on the wall. Keep in mind that overall i am very happy with this rack.

this is a heavy rack, it requires 4 screws that need to be anchored into studs, the screws on the right side i could get into the a stud, however, the ones on the left wouldn't be hitting a stud based off of where the pre-drilled holes on the rack are placed. now, i know my house is special, and not special in a good way, it just worked out that it wouldn't work with where i need to hang it. So, after some thought process and 2 trips to the hardware store i got this on the wall, and man, i could do chin ups on this thing now if i wanted to. What i ended up doing was attaching the right side to the studs, drilling a new hole in the back of the rack to hit a second stud (which was in the middle), and attaching the left side using toggle bolts. A little sweat and .88 cents spent at the hardware store and VOILA all done.

It was worth the work, i really like it, and it looks great. I am sure that the holes are drilled to what is standard for most homes but seeing as my home is close to 80 years old not everything is to today's standards.

When I purchased my Victorio Food Strainer a year ago, I decided not to get this accessory kit right away, but to wait and see how much I liked my original product. Needless to say, I love it. When I got a large amount of blackberries several weeks ago, I knew the berry screen would be a must. It works every bit as well as I had hoped. I also got a few pie pumpkins and the pumpkin screen was excellent as well.

These products are definitely 5 star.

The only room for improvement is that I wish Victorio would offer a cleaning brush as part of this accessory kit. While washing carefully by hand without the aid of a brush is fairly easy for the applesauce screen that comes with the original kit, a brush is most definitely necessary for the berry screen.

I purchased this from Carlucci Imports, through Amazon. It arrived in an unmarked plastic bag in a shipping box, with no manufacturer's packaging, booklet, or warranty card. There was a Mauviel sticker on the interior bottom of the pan, which could not be peeled off and required a razor blade for removal, leaving behind petrified adhesive. Coconut oil removed some of it, and GooGone was completely ineffective for the rest. I finally resorted to soap and a nylon scrubber, which removed the dried adhesive but scratched the finish. My impression is that this pan had been lying around in a warehouse for some time before I bought it.

Anyway, the pan itself is heavy and well-made, with sturdy riveted handles. It is very flat on the bottom and works great on my induction range. I'd buy it again, but not from this seller.
