Cheap Calphalon Checked Terry Kitchen Towel

Customer Ratings:

I really wanted to like these green apple kitchen towels. They're very attractive and Calphalon brand, and I particularly liked the green. They were absorbent too. BUT, after the first wash they absolutely fell apart. The seams gave way and I washed them per manufacturer's instructions! They were ruined after 1 gentle wash.

Thankfully the store took them back, no problem. For $7 a towel you expect better!

The Waring Pro W050B Cordless wine opener is just fantastic. I received one when redeeming my points from my credit card. I was so impressed with it that I quickly got online to find where I could purchase more. Amazon directed me in the right direction. I have purchased 3 more openers, one for each of my sisters. All of them agree it is one of the better birthday gifts they have recieved. It works well, just as demonstrated on the Waring video I viewed before ordering. I did read reviews from other owners and that helped me make the choice of this product. I recommend this product for anyone looking for a wonderful gift or one for themselves.

The Opener itself worked great. The Charging base quit working 2 months after I received it. Called Waring and they would replace it if I send the whole product back costing me at least another $10 to $12 in postage (very heavy) for an already expensive opener compared to others. I was willing to spend more for what I thought would be a quality product. They would cover the postage of the replacement back to me. Resulting in me having over $50 in a wine opener that as far as I know could suffer the same fate in a couple of months as the first one. I feel they should have covered the return postage so I would not have had more invested and they could show they FULLY stand behind their products.

Will not buy ANYTHING from Waring again and advise anyone to consider this when they are ordering. I threw this one away and bought an Oster. Warranties that keep costing me money on the same item is no good to me.

This corkscrew does not work with plastic corks.

Once the cork is extracted you must use a screwdriver to wedge the cork against the wall of the opener to get enough traction to remove the cork from the opener.

I used this bad boy for the first time 4 weeks ago on a homebrew kit from Northern Brewer. The size was more than enough for a 5 gallon batch of beer (obviously), but it is always always always a good idea to overshoot your size requirement. This thing is beastly, and very very heavy duty. The handles absolutely will require mitts as they have no integrated wooden handle or anything. I do not have a very high tech kitchen, and this still fit on my stove and beneath my shelves.

IMPORTANT!!!!! When using this for the first time, fill it completely with water and boil the heck out of it! No matter how hard you clean it, you will not get the metallic taste out of the inside of this pot unless you boil it first! Yes it is hard to boil that much water, but do it. Otherwise I guarantee it will taste metallic. Once boiled, you will even see the difference on the inside of the pot. This is not an issue with the pot, just something you must know, whether you're brewing beer or cooking lobsters or whatever. You have been warned!

Seriously, it's a pot. It is a very NICE pot, great price, thick walled, handles seem sturdy...ummm...aluminum...errrr...pot.

I use it for home brewing and am very happy with it. Got some jealous looks from my brewing buddies. A five-gallon batch (starting with 6 gallons of water) leaves plenty of head space for your boil.

I do wish it included a cover, or at least that covers didn't add another 25% onto the overall cost, but I won't dock it a star for that.

It arrived very well packaged with no dents or scratches.

So there you go. Have at it.

I brew beer and need to boil 7 gallons at a time. This allows me to do so with ample head space. This kettle saved me a ton over a comparable steel one, and is very heavy-gauged aluminum with sturdy handles. I move this around with 6 gallons in it after my boil, and there is never a buckle or wiggle. There has been some discoloration which can be expected with aluminum but is not harmful. -1 star for not having a lid included.

i needed a pot large enough to boil 5 gallons of liquid and still have room to spare. this pot did the job perfectly.

the pot has two heavy duty handles on each side of the pot. the handles are large so that you would have no problem handling this pot with gloves on.

We have a 7 1/2 foot ceiling and little space in our 10 X 12 kitchen. Some say you cannot have too many cabinets but I beg to differ. We have lots of cabinets things get lost in so we took out a cabinet that just jutted out into space over a counter top and put in this amazing Enclume rack. It only hangs down 8 inches from the ceiling and will take both toggle screws and regular screws. WE put in 2 long toggles and 4 heavy duty bolt like screws which came with it and I could hang from it. We have an eclectic kitchen and although some say this is more of an industrial look the warmth of the steel blended in just fine with our copper pots and rich medium oak cabinets and stainless steel frig. We like things out where we can see them and display wooden spoons on our walls and hang our knives on a rack and now our pots are out where we can just grab and start cooking. Cannot say enough, know it will last forever and love the basic design. Thanks Amazon!!!

It's a durable piece, that's for certain. Heavy and solid when mounted to the ceiling with those super-toggle things that it comes with. Note that they only included four toggles with mine but it requires six I had to buy two more for about $2. For your reference, if you are mounting to studs they do include all six lag bolts.

Also, you may want to know that it came with 18 hooks, I remember wondering about that when I ordered. 12 of the angle hooks and 6 straight hooks.

I do not know how they achieved this finish it's like a mild black oxide that's frozen in it's current state by a waxy substance. A really handsome look. But it's basically just steel bar stock that has been expertly formed, so keep that in mind... you're paying for the workmanship, not the materials. Don't be alarmed when you look at it and say "this is just steel bar stock! Why was it so expensive?"

It's expensive because it takes special tools and many years of experience to make it look like that. Only Enclume still makes things like this.

Honest reviews on Enclume PR13wg-HS Premier Low Ceiling Rectangle with Grid, Hammered

My hubby went on a photography gig and was in someone's home who had a pot rack hanging over the kitchen island. He came home and told me about how neat it looked and the idea clicked that we had the perfect kitchen to add such a tool. Our kitchen has no walls into the living/dining area as they were cut down to a breakfeat bar and knee wall about 10 years ago. We started pricing pot racks at various retailers in the area and found them to be priced at about $500 with a 4-week lead time on delivery from Enclume. I found the same pot rack for less money on Amazon and it was delivered within 2 days. I even selected the less expensive shipping option of 3-5 business days. When the box was delivered, I was impressed at the high quality of the item when I unpacked it. This is really a very high quality rack and worth the money. We found our studs to mount it from and ended up running into a little issue with 2 of the holes since there were support braces under those 2 holes for the half roof over the kitchen. After 2 trips to the hardware to buy titanium drill bits to drill through the braces, we were successful in mouting the rack to the ceiling. As of this morning, the rack still hangs and the roof hasn't collapsed! I could not be happier with our Enclume pot rack.

This was my first time using these pans. I ordered a small one (1O inch carbon steel) and a larger one (14 inch black steel) that was also from World Cousine. The 10 inch carbon steel one weights more than the 14 inch one. The 10 inch carbon steel is just a lot thicher and sturdier. I have to believe it will do a much better job at even heat disipation as well. For durability, and even cooking I would reccomend the carbon steel over black steel any day. If you look at the descriptions specifically at the prduct weight, you should get a good indication of how heavy duty the pan is. Keep in mind, these are steel, so you will need to season them (the more the better).

Best Deals for Old Dutch International Copper Clad Stainless Steel Hammered

I read the somewhat negative comments and find they are absolutely true. Lids aren't tight, and the next largest is sort of wonky.

On the upside they are an attractive addition to my kitchen. I'm only storing coffee filters, tea bags and wrapped candies so nothing is going to be compromised by not being air tight (don't even try to pick it up by its lid).

In looking around the internet for hours trying to find a set of 4 canisters at a reasonable price and with a unique look was a harder task than expected; in other words you can do better for more money, but these aren't all bad.

UPDATE: Well they said they're coated so they won't tarnish, but I've found that's not the case. It's been about 6 months and they look to have pitting or spots on them. I haven't tried cleaning them yet and probable won't in case it makes it worse. Not too keen on it, but I guess I don't mind the distressed look (hopefully they'll even out) But if you expect them to gleam for some time, I don't think I'd recommend these.

Cheap Alpha High Quality Heavy Gage 7.5 Qt Stainless Steel Stock Pot

Customer Ratings:

I absolutely LOVE this pot. I have been using it for almost a year and it's my go-to pot. It's thick bottomed so while it may take a little longer to heat than the thin ones, I dont' have problems with burning at all (and that's saying something, my husband jokes that I could burn water... and he's probably right, but who wouldn't trying to chase 4 little ones while cooking dinner?).

I have made everything in this pot from stir fry to soups, to blueberry jam (I put up 36 pint jars of amazing blueberry jam, it heated perfectly even and was even easy to clean.)

The highly polished steel makes it super easy to clean. Even when something is 'stuck on' letting it soak in warm water for a few minutes does the trick, no scrubbing needed.

When my husband has the time to cook (he's an amazing cook too) this is also HIS go-to pot. Though, he was very skeptical when I first bought it. He has a set of hard anodized Caphalon pots and pans that he loved, but after using this one, we are slowly replacing all of our pots and pans with Alpha Stainless Steel.

One downside: I hate the lid. I like that it's glass and has a steam vent hole. BUT, it has this very useless gage on the top of it (it always reads the same weather at room temp or boiling) and water seeps into there even when handwashed and I have to take the screw out of the handle to darin the water so it doesn't stagnate. A month ago we got a thin stainless steel lid at Walmart that fits it perfectly. We threw the glass one away due to the water retention in the handle and gage.

It's certainly an excellent value. The induction bottom and thick walled construction do a very good job transferring heat up the sides. The mirror finish cleans up very well. I'm not sure it's entirely apparent from the photo, but the Bakelite handle is armored on top with a stainless projection riveted to the body and there are 3 eyelets in the steel where the Bakelite protrudes. It is possible for broth, sauce, etc to get between the Bakelite and the steel albeit in very small amounts. Having a uncleanable surface, even one out of the cooking space, is a detraction. The projections forming the handle also should have been smoothed out just a bit, especially by the handle. They're not a sharp edge, but close enough to feel uncomfortable, especially when your hands are wet.

I was very hesitant about the quality of this pot because of such a low price ($26) but I was kindly surprised to find sturdy, clean and reliable pot in the box. We are using it every other day for soups and broths and it's great! No burning, cleans easy and clear lid is a great bonus! Overall, I would surely recommend this product to others and would give it as a gift for sure, but I see it's out of stock right now...

.....................................

UPDATE (after 13 months of regular daily use): Suddenly while being on a hotplate with boiling water it made a loud noise and bulged out in the center of the bottom towards outside of the pot making it unstable on the stove top. When I cooled it down the bulge flattened but appeared again when I tried to use the pot again. probably some cheap filling on heat-dispersing bottom. So appears that in my case the life span for this pot was a little bit over a year. We've been using it on electric Frigidaire stove top and maybe that caused the problem. So now we will use it for soap making :). I think that the price to pay for a pot (26) to use for a year is too high if you can pay 3 times more and get a lifetime use from a Revere or other quality pots.

This is a serious cooking tool. I've long believed the need for non-stick cookware is overstated, and this frying pan, in natural aluminum without teflon or any other finish, proves it. Its comfortable but durable blue handle stays cool and won't slip or turn in your hand.

As with any frying pan, I'd recommend buying a well-fitting lid to control spatter.

We have never put this item in a dishwasher (no need to), so I can't comment on how it would do there. This is, however, a pan one sees in numbers in restaurant kitchens, so it's designed for hard use.

After about 8 years our skillet still looks almost new; I'd attribute this to hand-washing and the use of plastic implements to stir, flip, etc.

I purchased the Farberware 12-Inch Glass Lid thinking it would fit my Farberware 12-Inch Deep Skillet. Silly me. It didn't fit. Not even close. It seems that while the curved side of the skillet arcs down to the base directly from the edge, the lid has a lip that is more or less perpendicular to its edge an incompatible state of affairs. After spending a little time audibly pondering the mental capacity and pedigree of whoever at Farberware was responsible for this SNAFU, I "fine-tuned" the lip of the lid with a pair of blunt nose pliers and thumb/forefinger pressure to achieve an acceptable fit. My wife is satisfied so all is well.

Realizing that a lot of Amazon shoppers probably would not take this course of action, I am submitting this review to advise fellow deep skillet lid seekers to look elsewhere for a lid that fits "out of the box" and to remind everyone that sometimes the 12 inches you're looking for is not the 12 inches you get. So be careful out there.

I love this pot. I've had a great 40 qt. pot for a decade that I've used for crawfish boiling and turkey frying but wanted a larger pot with a basket dedicated to crawfish. I was wary of the product because some reviews suggested the pot was flimsy and I wanted a tough sturdy pot. I was not disappointed, the pot is very strong with a thick rolled aluminum opening and stout handles. When filled with water and lifted, there was absolutely no movement or flex. You would have to lie the pot on its side and jump on it to bend the walls of the pot. My only regret is that I didnt buy the 80 qt. model. With the basket in, it doesnt hold much more than my 40 qt. pot did without a basket. We cooked 70 lbs. of crawfish and lots of vegetables and it took three batches. So if you are on the fence on size, go bigger. I will likely buy an 80 qt. soon.

I grew up along the coast of Georgia. Steaming Oysters, Crawfish and Low Country Boils are common family social events. I have always helped my brother in-laws do cooking and borrowed their burners and pots when needed. All of the equipment was bought 25+ years ago. I could not understand some of the reviews that were putting this pot down. My fears were put away when the pot was delivered in a sturdy box with no dents. The pot is equal to the quality that I grew up seeing at catered and family socials. The real issue is people that do not understand how to fry or steam in a big pot. Bayou Classic unfortunately has to include warning labels on the top flaps and on a four page instruction sheet. Since I was brought up around this type of cooking it is common sense on how to use them but that is not the case for new big pot cook. Read the instructions, read the warnings and get out a tape measure to determine just how big these pots are. Unless you are frying keep a garden hose right next to the burner. You have to keep liquid in the pot. If the pot boils down it will burn through. A stainless pot will be ruined as well just will not happen as fast. If your burner has a hot spot you can burn the pot. The physics behind boiling this quantity of liquid is high. Two burners and pots are almost always better than one big pot. The ability to stagger cooking so food keeps coming out of a pot hot is far better than dump and wait 45 minutes for the next batch. For those cooks complaining that it takes a lot of time, the cooks never get to enjoy a boil outside of camaraderie around the burners so is life in a coastal town. I have moved in-land and will be using my new pot to bring the joy of mudbugs and low country boil to the city dwellers.

I am a huge fan of silicone baking products and this one is tops.

I use them not only to roll out pastry dough and cookie dough but primarily for use when I am baking...You know how you typically have to add fat to your biscuits, cookies, rolls etc because you need to grease the baking sheets? You know how, after you cook some cookies, some stick and you have to re-grease the sheet but you get butter mixed with crumbs so more stick? You know how you lose some of your cookies because some break when they stick to the pan?

No more.

Simply lay the colorful sheet on to your baking sheet, place whatever it may be that you are cooking on top, and they remove flawlessly every time...pretty much without so much as a spatula So easy to lift you can remove the items by hand.

When I am done baking, I simply lay it on top of my dishes on the top rack of my dishwasher...and it's cleaned on it's own, although washing by hand is equally as easy.

Best yet, it's BPA free so it's healthy baking ware--and you save big on calories by not having to grease your baking sheets!

This silicone baking mat from SafeDine is of excellent quality: there are no imperfections and it is very flexible. The translucent blue color is beautiful, too—it reminds me of beach glass.

To test it, I made a batch of whole wheat scones, which is a fairly sticky dough. I shaped the dough on the mat and then used a very blunt table knife to cut the wedges. There was no damage to the mat and no debris or sticking. The underneath has a grippy texture so the mat doesn't slide.

Then I applied a plain buttermilk wash to the wedges. I use a lot of buttermilk and coat not just the top but all the edges because it gives them a nice color and shine and a bit of a crust and also helps keep them fresh. I really slopped the buttermilk on and let it run all over the mat.

The stove in my kitchen is a small apartment-sized model and a half-size baking sheet doesn't leave much room around the edges for the heat to circulate. Even with a double-walled insulated baking sheet, the bottom surfaces of baked goods get too brown while the tops are still not quite done. This silicone baking sheet must provide just a bit more insulation because the scones came out more evenly browned than ever before.

Afterwards, the scones literally just fell of the baking mat when I lifted it from the pan. Usually, some of them stick to even a buttered sheet and I have broken more than a few trying to remove them.

The glopped-on buttermilk was burnt to a crispy dark brown to black residue and some of it wouldn't wipe off with a sponge. I folded up the baking mat and submersed it in sudsy water in the mixing bowl for an hour. All of that buttermilk washed right off with a sponge.

The mat also has measurements in inches and centimeters for measuring dough. It covers almost all of my baking sheet with just an inch or so left on each side.

I have only used silicone in candy molds and a stovetop moka maker gasket before and I like them but now I wish I had tried a silicone baking mat sooner. The benefits it provides are quite impressive: avoiding messy buttering or spraying, improved quality of browning, no-effort removal from the sheet, plus easy clean-up.

A sample was provided for testing and unbiased review. This is a very nice baking mat and I very highly recommend it.

Best Deals for SafeDine Silicone Baking Mat, Translucent Blue Nonstick No Stain

Got this mat a few weeks ago, and it's been a perfect addition to my kitchen. All my baking sheets have gotten pretty grimy over the years, so I've taken to lining them with aluminum foil whenever I bake with them. The SafeDine baking mat is perfect for lining my baking sheets without wasting all the foil!

Most recently I used my SafeDine for baking chocolate chip cookies. Contrary to the label, the baking time didn't change (probably because cookies are so small), but they still browned nicely on the bottoms the way they do without the baking mat. I would definitely still check five minutes earlier than usual just to be sure.

I also love that this comes with a ruler on the side. It's handy for spacing cookies on the cookie sheet. I also couldn't find a tape measure in the house and ended up holding up the baking mat to use as a ruler.

Honest reviews on SafeDine Silicone Baking Mat, Translucent Blue Nonstick No Stain

I've tried a couple of silicone candy molds, but never entertained the thought of using a baking mat. Naturally, unless you want to get burned, you'll want to put a solid baking sheet beneath the mat. Silicone does have a slight odor, but the SafeDine didn't have an overwhelming one to turn me off. I washed it in "warm, soapy water" as directed. I didn't make cookies, but rather made some cinnamon buns. Very often they end up much darker than I'd like when I bake them on a cookie sheet. Not this time. They turned out a nice light, golden brown and ever so slightly crispy on the bottom.

PROS:

~ Made from food grade silicone, 100% BPA free

~ Easy to clean, dishwasher safe

~ Easy to store after use

~ The nonstick surface is perfect for things like dough

~ Even heat transfer when baking

~ Prevents that nasty baked on mess on baking sheets

~ Measurements along the mat edges

~ The heat resistance factor is high at 446°F (230°C)

There are several things about this mat that I like, including the fact that there are measuring guidelines along the edges. Mind you, this is not a pastry mat so you cannot roll your crust to the exact measurements, but if you're an experienced baker you can eye it. This mat would be ideal for rolling or kneading any kind of dough as it in nonstick and nonskid. When I baked the cinnamon buns I noticed that the heat transfer was excellent and done evenly. For example, the bottom of the buns were evenly browned, not dark on one side and light on the other. If you haven't tried one of these mats, you should. It makes baking and cleanup very, very easy.

My friend recently discovered the concept of silicone baking mats and told me I needed to get one. I'm a casual baker but always looking for products to make the experience better and easier. Browsing here I loved the blue color caught my eye. And the price was great. Ordered it and the ship time was super-fast even though I'd ordered regular shipping. Couldn't wait to try the product so I mixed up a batch of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, which are kind of sticky/greasy. I decided to try one pan with my regular non-stick pan and one with the silicone mat on top of another baking pan. The bake time (even though it's mentioned that it might take 5 minutes less) was actually higher than normal with the silicone mat, but that wasn't a problem I just kept checking. The main baking difference was in the browning. My non-stick pan was ok with the bottoms, but the silicone mat batch was just perfectly browned! Like in a bakery! And the clean-up comparison was impressive. Even my non-stick had a couple of areas that needed to be scraped off a bit before cleaning, whereas I just removed the SafeDine mat, washed it gently with soap and water, and it was good to go. Pan underneath could just be put away again without anything being done to it. My only problem was with the instructions. I'm a really "literal" person so I was hoping for a little more guidance. To me, the two sides of the mat felt different and I wondered which side to face up. I went with the one with the numbers on it assume that was correct. And at first I didn't understand what the numbers were for inches/centimeters. Finally figured out it applied when you want to put items a certain distance apart? Instructions are on the outside label of the package I could see there being a little instruction sheet inside for people like me who need to be told step-by-step what to do. But I really like the product. Read another review and LOVE the idea of a pizza baking mat! How about it, SafeDine?
