Swiss Diamond Nonstick Wok with Lid - 12.5" Reviews

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)

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!!!

Great a first. We stir-fry and pan-fry 2-4 dishes each day. After a couple months use, it began to change color. It's no longer non-stick now. Also, the product came with the lid missing and was never sent after a couple of email exchanges with seller, who blamed the manufacturer for the mistake.

Honest reviews on Swiss Diamond Nonstick Wok with Lid - 12.5"

I got this beautiful wok as a gift, which is the most wonderful one I even had. After six-month use of the wok, I am surprised that it does not change color like any other wok did. I basically use it every day. I only use a kitchen towel to wipe it clean and never use dish detergent or dish washer. The condition of the non-stick surface is just like the first I got this perfect gift!

Although its non-stick surface is strong and is allowed any material of utensil to be used on it, I use only wood or nylon type. I believe that using softer material would avoid deteriorating the non-stick surface.

I will post a following review if any condition goes worse. Let's see how long it will persist. And by the time, it may be a good change to test their limited lift time warranty though.

Reviews of Rösle 12723 Wire Cheese Slicer

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $30.00
Sale Price: $29.95
Today's Bonus: $0.05 Off

My experience is markedly different than the other reviewers of this product. I have several different types of cheese cutters in my kitchen gadget drawer and find myself reaching for this more often than the others. I like the ability to change the thickness of the slices of cheese by rotating the handle in your palm to be an advantage. I also note that there is an adjustment for the cutting wire tension so that you can keep it tight over time. I will admit that my initial uses of the slicer were clumsy, but when used often this is a really cool tool. Perhaps it's not for everyone, but it's a keeper for me!

I have to admit I was a bit bewildered when I first received the Rosle Cheese Wire as a gift. Having only used a "T" cheese wire in the past I was skeptical. But it has worked beautifully for several years now. It is comfortable and easy to manuever. I have had several Oxo wires which have all snapped after continued use. I have had no problems with this wire. I love the fact that I can tighten or loosen the wire for different type of cheeses or to vary the thickness of my slices. We go through multiple baby loafs of Tilamook Chedder every month and this is always the slicer of choice. And yes, it works for fresh mozzarella too. My three year old son even loves to use it, with adult supervision of course.

After the wires became too loose on a less-expensive cheese slicer, I finally spent the extra money on the Rosle. I am extremely glad I did. It provides easy slicing, with less resistance than the prior slicer. The long thin slicing section is maneuverable and easy to use. It has a nice weight, and looks great.

The Rosle offers two different thicknesses to choose from (one on either side), a cheese fork, and the cutting wire can be replaced (if it ever breaks). It is dishwasher safe, and still looks and works great after washing.

Honest reviews on Rösle 12723 Wire Cheese Slicer

This Wire Cheese Slicer for Rosle is a substantial implement, made of 18/10 stainless steel. It will slice cheese in either 4mm or 5mm thick slices. It is 10.5 inches (26.5 cm) long in total, from the hanging hook to the prongs for picking up your cheese slices. The wire slicer is 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) long. The tension of the wire is easily adjustable with a knob near the top of the slicer, and you can buy replacement wires. It's a handsome tool. The pronged end can be useful, but some people may find it an unnecessary addition of length. If the prongs bother you, you might want to try the WMF cheese slicer, which is not quite as sleek but has no prongs.

This is the nicest wire cheese slicer I've used. The tension is just right, so it slices through relatively soft cheeses like a dream, making perfect, uniform slices. And it feels great in the hand. It will slice cheeses up to 4 inches wide and is much easier and consistent to use than a knife. Some people report that the wire breaks on hard cheeses, but this will happen with any wire cheese slicer. It goes without saying that a wire slicer cannot be used on Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, or anything equally dense. It's for sliceable cheeses. It makes easy work of them, and both the slices and your Rosle slicer will look great on your table.

I would recommend this product to everyone. It is extremely easy to use. It saves lots of time and each piece of cheese is uniformly cut.

Best The Pampered Chef Cut N Seal #1195 Deals

Customer Ratings:

If you'd like to make your own knock-off "Uncrustables" (as dubbed by Smucker's), this little tool offers wide possibilities. Nut butter and jelly, pizza pockets, grilled cheese, salmon salad, and just about any other filling you can thing of are all fair game with this Cut N Seal gadget, and they all come out with that cute scalloped edge. For those dieting or health-conscious, losing that extra crust (x2) means intaking many fewer calories. Came promptly, wrapped in plastic, with directions, and is very easy to clean. Directions indicate ability to make half pockets (half-moon-shaped) but have not yet tried. My only minor wish is that the press-button was smoothly-shaped without the nub on top so it didn't imprint in your palm when pressing down, but this is not a big deal. Otherwise, this is fun (especially for kids), easy to use, and fairly priced; very pleased and highly recommend.

This is great for making a "knock off" version of the frozen pbjs my daughter is obsessed with. Not only do I save money, but I can also use higher-quality ingredients (whole wheat bread, low-sugar jelly, etc). AND this is easier than making a "real" pbjAll you do is scoop a spoon of pb and a spoon of jelly in the middle of a slice of bread, slap on another piece and push down the gadget. Rip away any stubborn crust and voila! I'm going to try making a mass batch and freezing them, next. Also want to try more fillings. I made a grilled cheese (in the oven) tonight and it was fabulous!

I wanted to make my own uncrustables and kept looking at reviews online. they all point to this product. I actually tried making different shapes with a cookie cutter and it also works so you dont really need this. But for this product its pretty functional. The only issue I have is the size. because of its size you end up cutting a lot of the bread away. I wish it was a bit bigger.

Honest reviews on The Pampered Chef Cut N Seal #1195

What a handy gadget! For those of you who love Uncrustables or love someone who loves Uncrustables, this is a great addition to your kitchen tools. My youngest son, who is now 14, has been eating Uncrustables since he was a toddler. About six months ago he went to a school mate's house and the child's Mom made them peanut butter and jelly using one of these devices. My son came home and excitedly told me how much better the homemade Uncrustables were. The benefit is that you can use your favorite bread, peanut butter and flavor of jelly and they taste very fresh. I asked the Mom where she got the gadget to make them and she said she bought it at a Pampered Chef party quite a while back. Not knowing a Pampered Chef consultant, I then went to the internet to find one, and sure enough, Amazon carried them. I actually bought two, one for us and one for my step-daughter, who originally discovered Uncrustables and serves them for her family. We both use ours at least three times a week. Plus, the homemade ones cost a fraction of the price of the commercially made Uncrustables. It will take you a few attempts to perfect your technique, but once you get it, you get it. It is also important that you use fresh bread, because stale bread tends to tear and not stay crimped.

Review of World Cuisine 12.5-Inch Blue Steel Wok (53032)

Customer Ratings:

The description says this wok weighs 6 lbs. But somehow it feels more like 10 to 15 lbs. It is heavy! Professionally constructed, this wok is probably bullet proof and will likely survive a nuclear war. The wok seasons easily and has better non-stick properties than most non-sticks out there. Since it is made of steel you can use metal utensils and cook like a real chinese chef.

My only complaint is that the wok is a flat bottom and not round. I wanted an authentic round bottomed wok. I assumed that since in the description it stated: "a round base". Obviously I misinterpreted the exact meaning of what a round base or round bottom wok was supposed to be. My bad. However, this is an excellent well-built, armored wok. If you cannot cook with it, you could always bash your food into submission. Fortunately I haven't had to come to that yet. It's 3 mm thick walls and base holds onto the heat exceptionally well. Something you want when stirfrying if you do not have a very hot stove.

I just received this skillet as a gift and am delighted with it. Before, I was always burning butter, omelets, pancackes because the skillet would continue to warm up after I started cooking on my electric stove (yes, I always turn down the temp a little after I start cooking). It was just too hard to tell how hot the skillet was until the food started burning. No problem with this guy you can watch the skillet temperature rise and fall as you warm it up, add ingredients, or simmer. I liked this so much I ordered the 28cm version tonight.

The electronics use a standard AAA battery in the handle and it is easy to replace. I was a little worried about how heat might damage the battery, but found that as long as you put the skillet on a burner that's sized for the skillet, the handle stays comfortably cool. Heat spreads very evenly across the bottom.

Pros: Very simple to use. Easy to remove the temperature module for washing, dishwasher safe, the display has large, easy to read numbers, the temperature sensor responds very quickly to changes in skillet temperature, the display tells you the ideal temperature for 11 common foods, an alarm will beep if the temperature gets too hot for what you're cooking, and the walls of the skillet are nice and high, and the skillet, while sturdy, is not too heavy. The instructions are clear, although you hardly need them for basic operation. Lastly, because food isn't over-cooked, the skillet is easier to clean.

Cons: It would be nice to disable the over-temperature beeper if you know you will be watching the food cook. There was a clear piece of protective shipping plastic I didn't notice on the underside of the handle when I cooked the first time. It shriveled, but didn't burn or stick to the skillet or cause any damage, so just make sure you remove it when you unpack your skillet.

The 20cm (8") version is for cooking smaller items. If this is your first Admetior, consider the 24cm (9.5")or 28cm (11") size, which don't cost much more.
