Best Pillivuyt Quartet 1 quart Square Bowl; White Deals
French porcelain really is the best, and Pillivuyt tends to be a little more stylish, less of simply a sturdy workhorse than Apilco, which I love, too. I've found that over time, this Pillivuyt bowl has performed very well. It goes in the dishwasher with no yellowing/discoloring, hasn't crazed at all (those little cracks in the finish), and has a little weight to it in the hand. It isn't as thin as non-French porcelain. Intensely colored items like beets and broccoli look great in it (it's a bright, glossy white without being too bright), though I've put everything from soup to salad to chips in the bowl and everything seems to look terrific. The squareness might seem odd, but it really works. This bowl looks and performs very well, and I'm sure it will for years. Usually buying these items through Amazon all but guarantees that you're getting a good deal on it. I only wish Amazon carried more Pillivuyt. It isn't quite as large as I expected, maybe about 8" square at the top and 4" or 5" at the bottom, roughly (I can't seem to find my measuring tape). Great product.

Reviews of Boil Over Safeguard - Silicone Lid Stops Pots and Pans from Messy
The product will most cetainly keep pots from boiling over. However, if you have to do something frivolous....like stir what you're cooking, or take the lid off to serve....it becomes useless. The minute you life the lid condensation and other liquids spill all over.
It works and does what it says. However, on a few occasions I had to really boil certain sauces and gravies really high for certain types of foods and the cover had some minimal trouble maintaining spilling over. But in all fairness I was overseeing the cooking process and was able to lower heat to prevent any serious issues.
I would recommend this product to a friend and find it very helpful when cooking.
Works like a charm and puts an end to boil overs. Easy to clean. Just be careful, it gets hot and when it's hot it will fall into a large pot pretty easily.

Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $69.99

Today's Bonus: 36% Off

I bought the Secura Oven last year, my husband and I really enjoy to cook with this oven. Very glad I can also find the accessory set on Amazon, got the package very fast with my Amazon Primary membership
There are 7 accessories in the box:
1. Grill pan, this is my favorite one, because we like grilling a lot, and this grill pan brings us a taste of BBQ right inside home
2. Skewers, very good quality, made of stainless steel, we grills a lot with it, and easy to clean.
3. Pizza pan with hole, this is specially designed for cooking a pizza, the holes help to get a very crispy crust when baking a pizza, if you use the Browning pan which is no holes, you can not get the crust.
4. Browning pan is for making the cakes, also came out perfect every time!
5. steam pan, we don't like steamed food, so I just use it as a fryer basket, very good for baking the French fries with it
6. Breakfast rack is designed for toast the bagels, bread, frozen waffles and pan cakes, and the holes on the side are for cook eggs, well organized and very useful. Perfect!
7. roast rack is supposed to be used with the dual rack, to cook a whole chicken or turkey, Have not got a chance to use it, may be try on Thanksgiving
This accessory set absolutely adds a lot of fun to cooking. GOOD to get one set, worth it!
pans including the broiler pan etc. They seem very sturdy and are definitely necessary.
Would recommend them as something you will use daily.

These really need to be part of the Secura oven purchase...must have accessories, especially the browning pan. However, my browning pan (2 months old) granted used several times per week already has the finish peeling off around the edges. Question the durability of the finishes...especially since I made it a point to use silicon utensils with it. Hope this helps anyone. Secura a great convection oven. Thanks.Tuesday, November 4, 2014
Rachael Ray Teakettles 2-Quart Porcelain Curve Kettle Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $36.59
Today's Bonus: 9% Off

I had no idea how complicated getting a tea kettle would be. After about an hour of browsing Amazon's reviews on their various tea kettles, I was dismayed that all that I'd seen experienced severe problems and there appeared to be no decent solution. Even if you threw money at it, that couldn't seemingly solve the various issues that seem to plague whistling tea kettles.
Then I happened across this little gem. No reports of black sludge being burned off in the kettle upon use. No problems with the whistle failing to function. No reviews saying they burned through the kettle or short term catastrophic malfunction. Perhaps a little less reviewed than others, but I'm glad I found it.
I don't really know (or care) who Rachael Ray is, but this is a good kettle. If there was such a thing as a s*xy tea kettle, this would be it...it looks good on the stove and the color just pops. The coating isn't some cheesy spray paint, it's a nice and seemingly durable coating that seems to handle repeated heating/cooling just fine. I read a review here that said it screams like a banshee...no joke. I can hear it clearly several rooms away and even outside or in the garage, exactly what needs to happen with a whistling tea kettle. The unit heats up quick enough, maintains it's heat reasonably well and holds enough water to be downright functional for more than just tea. About my only complaint, and it's hardly that, is that it's a little difficult to hold the kettle and pop the spout with one hand...so I gotta use two hands. Oh no, the horror. (But, if you want to hold your baby and play with boiling liquids, maybe this isn't for you.)
This whistler gets a solid five star review from me.
Update: I wiped out the inside of the teakettle today with a paper towel. It came out with black on it. Like the inside surface of the teakettle was coming off. This is going into the trash today!

Bought this for use on my new gas stove top. Have been using electric teakettles for a few years, but had teakettles for most of my life. Maybe it's the heating with gas, but I never expected the handle to be too hot to handle at times. Also, now that I have this, I prefer the style of teakettle that has a trigger on the handle to open the spout for pouring.....instead it's another 'hot' item I have to touch. Husband has particularly heat-sensitive fingers. He would have rated it lowerUpdate: I wiped out the inside of the teakettle today with a paper towel. It came out with black on it.

Best Culinary Institute of America Masters Collection 10" Sauté Pan Deals
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $150.00
Sale Price: $119.95
Today's Bonus: 20% Off

Purchased this recently and after two meals I already know it's the best sautee pan I've ever owned. It's weighty but not unwieldy, feels great, and spreads heat perfectly. It's also already responsible for the best omelette I've ever made and is in immediate full use as it's a huge upgrade from "the usual". With a lifetime warranty, I doubt I'll ever own another sautee pan.
this is the best pan I own. It is a beautiful piece of cookware. It sits on the top of my stove begging for me to heat it up until the oil begins to shimmer and toss in fresh sea scallops until they are a beautiful golden brown.
It cleans up easily, heats evenly, can be transferred from the stovetop to under the broiler,and because it isnt nonstick you can produce a nice fond after cooking a protein that can be deglazed and turned into a nice pan sauce.
Buy with no remorse. I recommend this brand to anyone interested in investing in quality cookware. I plan on replacing most of my old nonstick with the rest of the Masters collection line.
I like the long arched handle, although it can make a heavy saute pan seem even heavier.
One of the big selling points was that it had a copper layer. The copper layer is actually quite thin (see my uploaded image). The pan cooks great, but I think I was expecting a little more copper to help justify the high price.
The pan is not marked with the country of manufacture, but the cardboard box says it is made in China.
I would buy it again.

Buy Stove Top Shabu Shabu Hot Pot #J0180
I bought this in the U.S. after having lived in China for several years. It keeps the spicy and cool sides separate and is made of fairly thick metal, not the cheap thin kind sometimes sold in grocery stores.
But there is a problem with this particular model the round center divider of our pot started peeling off after some use. It appeared to be glued onto the bottom of the pot although we could not identify what kind of glue it was. I guess repeated heating melted the glue. It is definitely a safety concern. We peeled the center divider off completely, washed all the glue off the bottom of the pot, and continued using the pot.
We used another table-top hotpot before which has divider running right though the center, dividing the pot to two halves. The divider on that pot never came off or never even leaks. We will go back to that model if we need to buy another one.

I just used this today! It works so well. When it was delivered the box the pot came in, (not the amazon box) was a little bent out of shape, but everything was fine. It's thick metal, so it's not flimsy, and it's not going to break easily. The lid requires some assembly, (took about 30 seconds), but I wish they would have said that in the description, because you could possibly not be sent an important screw if a mishap happens in packaging.

The double boiler pan is rounded. I'm having an issue with the clip on thermometer. Hard to describe but the thermometer is straight and the bowl is rounded so it's hard to get the two working together. If I clip it to the edge, the part that determines the temperature is too far from the liquid. If I attempt to move it down farther it either pops off or the bulb is touching the pan not the liquid. I will keep looking for a compatible thermometer but hope this will be helpful to someone else or perhaps someone has advise for me. It does say "sleek curved vessel" in the description but I didn't absorb what that meant.Monday, August 11, 2014

I love Lodge cookware, and this melting pot is very versatile and robust. The brush, however, did not meet my expectations; It's very small and flimsy, and so is the "book". Be careful when using this pot in the oven, as mine tipped over twice; You have to make sure it's properly balanced on the grates.Best Deals for Lodge LMPK Sauce Kit
If I were to buy this all over again I would get just the pot without the book and brush (both of which I have almost never used). The pot itself is great for melting anything and quickly heating up small amounts of food (especially for kids/babies). I wish the bottom were a little wider and/or the handle a bit shorter so the pot would be more stable. Also I wish that it came with a lid. If I have to replace this in the future I would probably go with the ceramcor xtreme 16 oz saucepan with cover. It looks similar to this but with a shorter handle and a lid! It's not cast iron though.Honest reviews on Lodge LMPK Sauce Kit

Swiss Diamond Induction Nonstick Saute Pan with Lid - 4.3 qt (11") Reviews
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $269.99
Sale Price: $199.95
Today's Bonus: 26% Off

I purchased this cookware when I made plans to have a new induction cooktop installed because my Swiss Diamond pan for conventional cooktops was my very favorite pan I've ever owned. I am not disappointed! It heats evenly and cleans up like a dream!
After a week or so, I received a polite reply from Allan Wolk, an employee in the U.S. His email informed me that, "Our patented nonstick surface uses a nano-composite of real diamond crystals and PTFE; it is applied using a computer controlled plasma gun at very high temperatures."
Naturally, my attention was immediately drawn to the PTFE. The acronym sounded familiar. What was PTFE?
A quick search of Wikipedia provided the answer: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTFE)
As Wikipedia explains:
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer discovered by Roy J. Plunkett (1910-1994) of DuPont in 1938. It was introduced as a commercial product in 1946 and is generally known to the public by DuPont's brand name Teflon®.
Huh? Teflon? Wait a minute. Didn't the Swiss Diamond website just claim that the product contained no Teflon?
If you look back at the Swiss Diamond website screen capture, the careful wording of their answer now becomes clear. It states, "The Swiss Diamond coating does not contain any Teflon taking into consideration that "Teflon" is a trade mark, made and owned by DUPONT."
So the pans don't contain Teflon, they just contain the chemical called Teflon. It's like saying a nuclear warhead doesn't contain any plutonium, it only contains nuclear fissionable material.
For the manufacturer to insist the Swiss Diamond pans contain no Teflon whatsoever when it is made primarily from polytetrafluoroethylene, the chemical widely known as Teflon, is extremely deceptive. In fact, the intent of the Swiss Diamond company seems to be to deceive consumers by omission of the facts. The FAQ document on the Swiss Diamond website, for example, does not bother to say something like, "But our pans do contain PTFE, the chemical known as Teflon." It simply insists they contain no Teflon and moves on to the next question.
It seems that Swiss Diamond goes out of its way to give the impression that this product is free of Teflon chemicals and is surfaced primarily with diamonds. That's the impression I got, anyway, and I read the promotional materials several times before purchasing the pan.
Consumers have been hoodwinked yet again by corporations who care nothing for human health, and whose only focusing is raking in millions for themselves.

I purchased this cookware when I made plans to have a new induction cooktop installed because my Swiss Diamond pan for conventional cooktops was my very favorite pan I've ever owned. I am not disappointed! It heats evenly and cleans up like a dream!

I wrote the Swiss Diamond company and asked for an explanation of what the nano-composite material was made of.After a week or so, I received a polite reply from Allan Wolk, an employee in the U.S. His email informed me that, "Our patented nonstick surface uses a nano-composite of real diamond crystals and PTFE; it is applied using a computer controlled plasma gun at very high temperatures."
Naturally, my attention was immediately drawn to the PTFE. The acronym sounded familiar. What was PTFE?
A quick search of Wikipedia provided the answer: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTFE)

Huh? Teflon? Wait a minute. Didn't the Swiss Diamond website just claim that the product contained no Teflon?

Honest reviews on Swiss Diamond Induction Nonstick Saute Pan with Lid - 4.3 qt (11")
When you look at the price you may think they must use real diamonds. Not so! It is cast aluminum. This is an excellent non stick induction pan. It takes a high quality pan to function properly on an induction stove top. Quality induction cooking produces incredible flavor. The non stick property does last for a few years but not forever. Aluminum cookware always makes me somewhat leery. If aluminum ever leeches into your food in can be a toxin.
