This is, of course a perfect fit to the pan. The domed lid makes for a good moist cooking environment, and you can see what is going on inside. The black knob is easy to grab and does not get hot. I vacillated between this and the steel cover, which looks easier to store. I am glad to have this but would consider the steel cover if storage is a problem.

I was afraid that since the description says 14 1/4 inch lid, that it might not fit my HUGE 14 inch All-Clad frying pan. This lid not only fits PERFECTLY, but it is a work of art in itself! ALL-CLAD does not make an accompanying lid for their very largest frying pans, and although I had found a lid years ago, it looked cheap and its aluminum bent ever so easily! THIS one is sturdy and is made from the finest quality materials and the dome allows even more possibilities than a flat lid does. If you have a huge frying pan, take a chance at this price! I am so happy with this lid and its perfection! I mean, how do people pan-fry ANYTHING in a 10 or 12 inch frying pan when nothing should be crowded as you pan-fry? GREAT quality and GREAT price and perfection has been found!

High quality lid. This lit perfectly fits the Cuisinart 722-36H Chef's Classic Stainless 14-Inch Open Skillet with Helper Handle. Sounds broken in the box because of the loose handle parts that you need to screw in really gave me a scare!

I've been searching a while for a lid to fit the giant All-Clad 14" fry pan. If you are in the same boat, I think you will be happy with this lid. It is ever-so-slightly too large for it to be a PERFECT fit. I'd love it more if it would sink just a tiny bit more into the fry pan. That being said...it fits quite well and the lid seems well made. I haven't used it yet and don't know how the hardware and metal trim will stand up to many washings, but I want to assume that nothing will rust. (FYI, I have the 14" fry pan not the 14" STIR fry pan which a previous review stated will not fit this lid.)

I got tired of burning my stocks with thin-walled junk pots and decided to do some research. This pot is a big improvement over the standard Cuisinart line of pots and pans and is on par with the better All-Clad pots and other high-end brands. The fit and finish on this unit is excellent and the lid fits like a glove. This is a true 3 layer walled pot... no welded discs to the bottom of the unit (like the bargain stock-pot in the All-Clad brand line-up). Compare the price of this pot with the 'real' 3-wall constructed pots and you'll see a 2-3x improvement in price. I've used this pot ~20 times since I purchased it (each time for multi-hour stock simmering) and it still looks like new. Highly recommended!

I've cooked with, burned bone dry, and cleaned regular All-Clad almost daily for years so I am pretty familiar with its performance. I'm happy to report that this first Multiclad of mine performs similarly: boils quicker than regular pots with minimal hot spots, and cleans easily.

Instead of going cheap or being a complete All-Clad copy cat, Cuisinart decided to throw in some improvements:

Longer side and lid handles for cooler handling

Brushed finish on exterior that goes about 3/4 of the way up hides scuffs

Impeccable finish. Can't say the same for an All-Clad sauté pan which I payed full price for :(

Better quality stainless steel? Maybe I just got a good batch, but the luster seems to suggest higher chrome content

Great offering Cuisinart! Keep up the quality and continue to be cost competitive vs. All-Clad and I will be back to supplement my cookware collection with Multiclad individual pieces. And BTW, this 6 quart is indispensable if you are cooking for 3-4 people.

Best Deals for Cuisinart MultiClad Pro Stainless Saucepot with Cover

I have a number of pieces of Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless cookware and I really love each one. I only wish I learned of this cookware before buying an entire set of another brand. You can't beat this line of cookware for quality and performance at a reasonable price. Like most of the multiclad cookware, it is stainless steel on the outside and inside of the pot or pan with a layer of heat-conducting aluminum sandwiched in between for excellent heat conductivity all across the bottom and all the way up the sides of the vessel. I think the quality of the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless cookware is on a par with the oh-so-pricey All Clad cookware. It heats quickly and evenly with no hot spots or scorching. You don't need to gun up your burners to their highest settings. With only medium-high heat, you can create beautifully browned meats, fish, caramelized onions, mushrooms, etc. Turn the heat low and create smooth, perfect bechemel or other sauces with no worry of scorching. This cookware will do it all just as well as All Clad and it won't break the bank. My only complaint about it is that the sauce and stock pots and the 3-quart saute pan are a little smaller than their claimed size. This 6-Quart Saucepot with Cover, for instance, only holds 5 1/2 quarts measured to the rim. But, if that 1/2 quart difference isn't a problem, then this is an excellent, highly usable and versatile pot for doing soups, stews, braising, cooking sauces, pasta or any number of cooking tasks. The handles are generously sized and firmly attached. The pot has a convenient curved pouring lip so hot liquids won't run down the outside of the pot when you are trying to pour pasta into a colander or bubbling hot soups into a serving bowl. The lid fits snugly onto the pot to help hold in moisture while simmering or braising. The pot can go right from the stove top into the oven because it is all stainless steel on the outside. I preheat my pans over medium heat for 3 minutes before adding cooking oil (and a little butter) and then I add the food to be browned. Clean-up is easy. Deglaze any stuck-on bits of food or let it soak with some water before washing in hot, sudsy water. Use some Bartenders Friend cleanser for stainless steel to keep these pans looking like knew.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart MultiClad Pro Stainless Saucepot with Cover

I'm a bargain hunter and I always look to buy the best quality I can afford for the lowest price I can find. In the February issue of "Cook's Illustrated", the America's Test Kitchen folk did an equipment review on Stock pots. They recommend a 12 quart size as being most universally useful, and that was what they tested. Unfortunately, the Cuisinart Multi-Clad wasn't one of those tested, but I think the results of what they did test speaks volumes. Their winner was All-Clad and I quote " . . . didn't have a single flaw except a price tag over $300". Their "Best Buy" was the Cuisinart Chef's Classic, and again I quote "Very similar to All-Clad except with a price tag well under $100". The Cuisinart Multi-Clad offers virtually the same features as All-Clad, with the aluminum core extending up the sides of the pot to provide more even heating, but like the Chef's Classic, with a price under $100. Getting top of the line features for mid-level pricing makes for a best buy in my opinion.

An outstanding piece of kitchen cookware. It looks and performs exactly like All Clad for about 1/4 the price. It cooks exceptionally well AT MUCH LOWER TEMPERATURES THAN YOU ARE ACCUSTOM TO. Because of the aluminum center/core, there is very uniform heat throughout the pot, including the sides. The handles can get hot (because they are close to the body of the pot) while boiling with a gas stove, but otherwise are non-hot pad cool.

Don't believe the reviews about hard to clean, food sticks etc. It is &*(%. In my opinion these reviewers don't know how to use the cookware properly. If you are brazing/browning, use a small shot of Pam (I have tried al types of oils, but this works best) and make sure that the temperature ~ 25% less than normal. Also, Bar Keepers Friend, as recommended in the users manual, is perfect for making the inner and outer surfaces shine. It is non-abrasive.

This pot is the perfect size for soups, large quantities of sauces, and roasts. It is more manageable than the 8 Q one that comes with the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro set. I use it more often than the larger pot.

Fantastic product and great value. I bought it for 1/2 price on Amazon in December 2006.

Vinaroz Die Cast Aluminum wok with Ceramic Coating 30-Cm Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $54.95

Today's Bonus: 62% Off

I previously got pretty excited about a smaller piece of ceramic cookware from another maker and gave it a 5 star review after using it only a few times. If I had waited a bit, I would have downgraded it to 4 stars because it did show some signs of wear after a relatively short period of use, although the flaws in the finish did not have any discernible effect on the functionality of the pan. In any case, I decided to wait before reviewing this Vinaroz product and I'm very happy to report that after intensive use it still looks brand new and there are no blemishes of any kind in the finish, contrary to the experience of another reviewer who only gave it 4 stars. [I use a relatively soft bamboo spatula to stir the food with.] And while on the subject of other reviewers, I am in agreement with the reviewer who wrote that there was no need to season the pan as opposed to the reviewer who said that one must always season ceramic cookware. I did not season my wok and it works perfectly, almost magically. I'm very enthusiastic about this pan and will be giving them for Christmas presents. The low price and superb functionality is a great combination.

I got this pretty quickly after I ordered it, and it works great. It's simple to clean, great for frying, and is all-around amazing. At least, the first few times I used it.

However, the particular wok I received had several flaws in the ceramic on the bottom. After I burnt some rice in the bottom, I noticed it had settled into some cracks and grooves and stained the bottom. There were also several flaws in the chrome finish when I received it. It's still beautiful and functional, but I worry about how well it will hold up in the future with these little mistakes. Had it arrived in perfect condition, I'd be far less wary.

As it's ceramic, you shouldn't use any metal utensils in it to avoid scratching the finish. I've been using bamboo exclusively since I received it.

Best Deals for Vinaroz Die Cast Aluminum wok with Ceramic Coating 30-Cm

I own a restaurant so I have experience with many types of cookware. I got this because I needed a new wok for personal use, and the ceramic coating was interesting. The cheap price made me pause but I got it anyway. Fast delivery. I've used it for three, four months on average twice a week or less. What I do like: The non-stick surface is pretty good, not as good as professional Teflon, but OK. Cheap. Heats up fast. Nice grippy handle. Works like a wok.

What I don't like. The white cooking surface. Everything shows. Makes it look unsanitary. Definitely have to use cooking oil, esp if eggs are involved. Every little brown, black, yellow bit shows up. Worst of all, the coating is not durable. I don't wash mine promptly after each use so it may sit on the counter, or in the sink for a while, but I never pile dishes in it, and have only used plastic to stir. STILL mine has many many scratches and a few dings. The white surface is discoloring too. All this after not much use.

Summary: I like it, BUT the lack of durability is a deal breaker and I would not recommend this brand. I think I will try a more expensive ceramic coated wok.

This is an easy to clean wok, good size to cook for a dinner party or every day meals. The ceramic coating does scratch and burn though, so it is not as durable as I would have hoped!

So far so good.

We love this pot but were a bit surprised by the size when we unpacked it. If you read the description it states it's 18" and this is just baffling. With the handle it's about 20". Without it's about 12". That makes for a pretty small wok so don't plan on cooking for 6 or maybe even 4 in this pan.

Despite the small size it's really nice. The aluminum construction makes it feather light and the ceramic coating is really great. Nothing sticks. We don't cook with oil if we can help it, maybe use a shot of Pam and this wok is excellent for that kind of cooking.

Highly recommended. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is we've only owned it 2 days and can't speak for its durability yet.

I recently ordered four additional place settings as well as a few replacement forks/spoons of Dansk Torun. I have an original set from the mid 1980's. The new pieces were much lighter in weight, the spoons had different bowl shapes (both soup and teaspoon) and stamps on the back of each piece (including the 'made in China') were obnoxiously large and made the silverware ugly. I purchased these with a 'buy three get one free offe'r. Had I been aware of the poor quality of this recent edition of Dansk silverware I would not have purchased it new. I would have purchased used place settings from a replacement source.

We got a set of Dansk Torun in 1999; it was a beautiful and functional set We wanted to get some additional sets, so we got this.

These are amazingly inferior. Some of it is just quality: the spoons are shallower and have sharp edges. That's just cheaper forging. To add insult to inury, they also have a new shape which I don't like as well. The knife is similar to the original, but not as elegant.

If I'd known Dansk was going to do this I don't think I would have bought from them 10 years ago. I certainly can't recommend this set now.

I had the EXACT same experience as the previous reviewers. I purchased this beautiful, and not cheap, flatware in the late 1980's. I loved it. After years of "kids", many pieces had "walked away" so I ordered some replacements. The difference in quality was truly stunning. This was the first time I really began to understand that the flight to Chinese manufacturing (read: cheaper manufacturing costs), was also a flight to inferior products. The spoons were not rounded on the edges; they were flat and sharp. The luster was not there, the weight was lighter, and overall the flatware had a "cheap" look to it when compared to the original. Honestly, you should get what you pay for. I replaced it all with Ricci and have not been disappointed. Caveat Emptor buyer beware.

Honest reviews on Dansk Torun 5-Piece Place Setting, Service for 1

I'd like to address some of the other reviewer's complaints with my own experiences:

1) Quality. I admit this is my first set of Dansk or Torun silverware, so I can't compare the quality to the product in the 1980s, but I will say I think this is very nice quality. It is 18/10 stainless steel, which is the highest quality grade. Also, it feels heavy, substantial, and expensive. And it's dishwasher safe, which is non negotiable for me.

2) Sharp edges on the spoons. I have no clue what that reviewer is talking about. Perhaps you had a defective set? I think the spoon edges are just a smooth as any other quality set.

3) Knives falling off. I disagree the whole reason why I purchased this set was because I was so impressed with a seeing a friend's set and the way all the pieces were made to balance....especially the knife. Nothing flops or falls on your plate and the place setting presentation is beautifully symmetrical with all pieces balancing upright. The product picture shows the knife resting on its side, but check out the Dansk Torun Stainless-Steel 3-Piece Hostess Set to see how it balances.

The Amazon price of $39 is the best around -it still beats Bed, Bath & Beyond with the 20% off coupon plus sales tax.

At $29.99 per place setting, Amazon is offering this pattern at outlet prices for Torun. I have owned this silverware for over 10 years, and it looks as good today as when I purchased it. The stainless is of the highest grade, 18/10, and this ensures that it will tolerate the dishwasher very well. Instructions that came with mine said to polish it once a year, but I have not found this necessary. The stainless is of a quality that it doesn't show scratches either. The design is timeless; it will be as contemporary 25 years from now as today. It is also versatile enough to use for every day and formal occasions. The only thing that takes getting used to is the knife; the curved handle allows for positioning the knife with the blade down. Also be aware that complementary and serving pieces are going to be expensive and hard to find. These can be located on Ebay or in any remaining outlet stores that Dansk may have.

Buy Nordic Ware 3-D Cake Mold

Customer Ratings:

Hi everyone! I would like to share some info. This is my favorite pan to make the lamb cake and also lamb (paska) breads. I have used my old molds for 40 years. This mold is especially nice to use with sweet yeast dough. The breather hold on the top makes it easier to tell when the bread is risen. Depending on your dough, only fill 1/4 to 1/3 full and keep an eye on when it is risen. When the dough is almost fully baked, flip the pans over and remove one side to continue baking and make the front and back of the lamb more uniform in color. I use raisins for the eyes. If they fall out, use a little egg white to cement them.

For the cake, it is best to use a pound cake recipe (mine is a Bakers chocolate recipe). When you remove the cake, reinforce the head with long toothpicks (warn the family not to eat the toothpicks). My head NEVER falls off. I use the fluffy icing recipe, also in my old Bakers chocolate booklet, and apply coconut.

Do NOT put this in the dishwasher, hand wash!

Good Luck! and Happy Baking!

This is a great pan! Be sure to do a test for the first use to get the timing figured out. The test area of the pan is in the head which is much smaller than the center of the cake. On my first cake, I was afraid it would be over cooked but I under cooked it. My test came out done, but the center wasn't done. Also, be sure to both grease and flour the pan.

I have been looking for a lamb mold that was just like my mother's and grandmother's. Wilton has one but it looks nothing like a lamb. This mold is perfect. Traditional style and you can make a cake and 12 cupcakes with the batch. Very easy to use and the price was wonderful. Many places were charging $60! Make sure to use Crisco and flour every space so nothing sticks.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Nordic Ware 3-D Cake Mold

This worked great! We used a standard cake mix. I followed someone's advice to use three cups of batter; that filled the mold pretty close to the edge. We had to wing it on the baking time; I used the instructions for Bundt cake and checked it about 10 minutes early, but the toothpick was still wet, so it stayed in almost the whole time.

One mistake we made was that we left it in the mold too long. I let it sit for a few minutes, then flipped it over, but then we got distracted and it sat in there for over 10 minutes. When we took it out, it was a little soggy from the condensation (just like any time you leave a cake too long in the pan). So be conscious of that time frame.

I used a whipped canned frosting and used Alton Brown's method of "press-and-pull" frosting decorating to make the sheep's "curls" (the episode, "The Icing Man Cometh", can be found on YouTube). The final product image can be seen on this page.

Wall Mount Pot Rack-6 hooks (Ivory) (8"H x 25"W x 13"D) Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Loved the way that this was packed. Wrapped in brown paper. The color ivory was close enough to white for my purposes. Came with all the hardware and instructions for hanging in studs or wall. I wish manufacturer had included one extra plastic anchor and screw, and that's the reason for the four stars instead of five. Easy to hang--two screws at top and that's it. Very sturdy and strong. The rack is holding up a small (0.7 cubic foot) microwave, a sugar and flour canister. The hooks are useful. A tiny bit of flaking of the powder-coated finish but this does not really detract--factory flaw. Took a long time to get, though but it was worth the wait.

Best Camp Chef Cast Iron Conditioner Deals

Customer Ratings:

This conditioner is better than Crisco or any other shortening or oil because it won't go rancid like other oils can. If you don't use your Dutch oven or other cast iron all winter and it just sits somewhere, chances are good that it will be rancid come spring and you'll have to strip and re-season it. That won't happen with this conditioner.

This was a little disappointing, but what could I really expect? Seasoning takes years (or at least a lot of time and smoke in your oven). I was trying to avoid that with this coating. It works OK, as a light coating after you wash your pan. But, truly, I used to rub olive oil on my hot pan, just bring it to a smoke, turn off the heat and let it sit until I used it the next time, and I think that method worked better. I'll use up the cream, but I wouldn't order it again.

Mix of a few oils, I forget which (I think sunflower seed is one of them). Consistency is a bit thinner than peanut butter in a 68 F house. Doesn't pour out like lotion, but I was able to squeeze it out OK. Others have apparently had a more difficult time.

Used it on my new Camp Chef cast iron griddle. Heat the pan at 200F for about 10 minutes to get a dry surface and to open the iron's pores. Put a light coating on so that it glistens. Wipe it down with a dry cloth until the pan looks dry. Bake at 400F for 1 hour. Let cool in the oven for another 2 hours.

Goes in looking grey. Comes out looking black, just like the muffin pan that someone posted in the photo section. Griddle looks 10X better than new. I stopped with just the one coat, since the pan was already pre-seasoned.

Just note that you want to bring the oil (this or any other one you use) above its smoke point. This causes the polymerization process that creates the non-stick seasoning. Yes, the smoke by-product does contain carcinogens.

Flaxseed oil is supposedly the best oil to season a pan with. This worked pretty good, though, was easier to find, was a lot cheaper (7 at sportsmans warehouse), and doesn't require refrigeration.

UPDATE: The ingredients listed, in order, are: Organic Palm Oil, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Sunflower Seed Oil, Vitamin E, Citric Acid

We have been using Cast iron for many years and have some great old pieces from various trips.

Everyone has a different tip or trick to seasoning cast iron, for many years bacon grease was the "hot product" what a mess!

Many of my cast iron finds need some TLC, a little rust or extra build it can hide the true inner beauty of the cast iron, I have some Griswold, Lodge, and Camp Chef Skillets and Dutch ovens that are super old but look better than new.

THIS stuff is great, I use a couple of different tricks for rust, like hay alfalfa and coke, but to put that nice BLACK finish, the cast iron conditioner does the trick, it lasts twice as long as regular oil and doesn't leave any lasting after taste.

Remember you still have to take care of your cast iron and heat it to dry it but this is the easy way to keep it nice and black for a lifetime of great uses.

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.

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.

A larger (16") skillet would be advantageous. I found that for some skillet meals, I have to go back to the old skillet.

I recently started making muffins again. Not only are they quick, and convenient, but they are (can be) healthy, and a great 'fast food'. They pack well in your purse or briefcase, and they are a great eat and run food. They freeze well and they are perfect for sharing (smile), so what's not to love?

So, when I started baking, I used the regular muffin liners from the grocery store and got frustrated that much of the muffin was stuck to the paper.

When I saw these parchment cups, I was very excited to not only not have that problem, but to have a 'prettier' presentation for sharing.

But, much to my dismay, the paper didn't even stick to the muffins at all. They just slid right out of the paper! I was planning to bring a dozen to a neighbor but I couldn't bring these. It was hideous!

So, I'm not sure what went wrong, and will still experiment after all I ordered THREE boxes of these so I will update if necessary, but you need to know that they are really slick. I expected the paper to completely adhere to the muffin as normal, but it didn't. It's completely loose.

Ok..I'm not sure what I did. These are the X-Large size. Did I mistakenly order them, thinking they were just the regular size? I honestly don't know. I looked at My Wish List and what I had saved was the regular size.

I make muffins in various sizes and when I had made them in May for my first review, I DID make half of the batch in the larger size yet they were too big.

Now, I make the same larger muffin size BUT I really fill up the muffin cup quite full, so now they are perfect!

So, I would recommend these be aware that this is the X-Lg size and they are available in the smaller size also. And you might have to experiment.

I apologize for the confusion!

This tagine is far better that I had hoped it would be. It seems to handle high temperature cooking wonderfully, which is not always the case with tagines. Clean up is super easy and it is a lot of fun to cook with because it can go from stove top to oven. I wish I had gotten an extra large instead of a large though. If you are planning on cooking for four people or more I would recommend the extra large.

I became interested in tagines (the food) while going through one of my cook books trying to find something "good" to make for dinner. The tagine is a very flavorful stew type dish that is simmered slowly in a tagine (the vessel). The end result is meat/beans etc. that melt in your mouth. The seller described the clay vessel as made in Morocco by hand as it has been for years. It is beautiful to look at and does an amazing job of cooking tagines. This item was the first tagine I had ever purchased so I was little sceptical about putting it directly on top of my glass cooktop. However, the functionality was as described. The vessel browns food nicely and clean-up is easy. Because it is made by hand the appearance is not perfect but for me, the small imperfections add character and uniqueness. One thing to note is that seasoning the vessel requires several hours of submersion in water and then several more hours in an oven so don't expect that once it arrives you can open the box and use immediately. One other thing to consider is that the small one is not large enough to prepare food for six. If you are planning on cooking for more than four I would suggest the larger size.

I bought this tagine after getting interested in Mediterranean cooking. I have a cookbook for tagine-based recipes Tagines & Couscous: Delicious Recipes for Moroccan One-Pot Cooking and I wanted to try it out. The tagine arrived well packed and protected. I found out that it is an authentically made tagine from Morocco (great) but not suitable for a gas stove (oops). You will need a diffuser or some large metal plate if you want to use this on a gas stove.

Tagines are simply one-pot cooking on a stove. This tagine cooks very well but is a bit small for a family of 5 you can't fit all the ingredients into it for a meal that large and that's why I gave it 3 stars. Other than that, I recommend it.

The tagine is both exotic and functional. The one I received did not have the painted embellishments on it, but still cooked us a delicious meal. It would be helpful to have the care, seasoning, and suggested recipes for the tagine included with it. I'm very pleased with the size, the shape, and availability for the price!

The broiler pan is not non stick the bottom is but the top does not clean well. I cooked a steak the pan was almost impossible to get clean I cleaned it just as I was told, even tried the dish washer, very disappointed.

Extremely weak. It buckled (warped) the first time it was used. Buckles now each time. I expect it will last no more than a couple of months. Sigh.

The item is not what it represented on the description or photo, very flensy aluminium, it looks like a disposable type item, found much better broiler pan in our local target store for half the price of this one.

Honest reviews on Stanco Non-Stick Broiler Sets

After losing my original broiler pan (accessory with my range), I replaced with a Nordic Ware Broiler pan set claiming to be "non-stick". What a joke! I used it once and it was ruined (had to toss in the trash).

Then I purchased the Stanco Non-Stick Broiler Set and I am AMAZED! Its quality material and it really is NON-STICK! I love it! It wipes clean, absolutely no scrubbing required. I've cooked steaks, burgers, london broil, and crab cakes. Nothing sticks to it!

I love this set!

I bought this item specifically because it is advertised as "non-stick". I was very disappointed. As far as I'm concerned, this product represents nothing short of deceptive marketing.

As another reviewer notes, the bottom pan cleans easily, but the top tray is a nightmare. There's nothing "non-stick" about it. After cooking meat on it, I always had to soak it for hours, and after that I still had to scrub it until my hands and arms were sore. And very often, once it dried after all that, I could see that it was still not entirely clean!

One morning, we used the Stanco broiler to cook bacon. The meat was so firmly stuck to the broiler that We found it impossible to remove the bacon without damaging it. That's when we decided to simply throw this useless thing out.

We tried using non-stick sprays, but that makes the problem even worse; what tends to happen is that the spray dries and hardens, and it actually makes the problem worse. You shouldn't have to spray a "non-stick" broiler in the first place! And also note that this broiler gets worse with every use. It isn't anywhere near "non-stick" even right out of the package, but after a few months of use, it will be much worse.

I was also not impressed with the packaging. The item is shipped with the top tray in direct contact with the lower pan. On the unit I received, this contact resulted in a lower pan that had its coating worn completely off--down to the metal--around its entire circumference where it meets the top tray.

this is the best skillet I have ever owned. I've been using this skillet for about a month now and find it to be the best. The height and angle of the handle is great. The handle never gets hot. The pan itself is nonstick and supposedly dishwasher safe (I still haven't put it in the dishwasher, I always hand wash it). The only issue might be that it's too heavy to lift with one hand for some people.

I was in love with this pan when I first got it for all he reasons the others mention. Great weight and angle on the handle, cooks evenly and truly non stick. However, I question how long the reviewers have had their pans before rating it. I've had mine a little under two years, and it's barely any more non stick than my plain stainless steel pan. I've never used metal utensils on it and there are no visible scratches or flaking, it just doesn't work as well. I've put it in the dishwasher but it says it's dishwasher safe, and I have burned a few things on it at times, but don't feel it should damage the pan to this degree.

I still liking Viking for stainless steel and other cookware which will last a lifetime, but it's just not worth shelling out $200 every two years for a non stick.

My wife and I love this skillet. it cooks evenly. Possibly the Best Skillet Ever! I wish I had two ;)Now only if I had a bigger kitchen haha.

Honest reviews on Viking Nonstick Fry Pan

Viking's Belgium-made cookware is fantastic. It is build to last for generations and is designed to look and function superbly. The 13 Inch Stainless Steel Non-Stick Fry Pan is great if you need to cook for many people because it heats very evenly, non-stick surface is top notch. It is heavy, but it has to be with multi-layer steel and coating. Don't confuse with China-made cookware! Highly recommended, like all Viking cookware.

We've had the 13" version for well over 10 years. It is indestructible. We beat the day lights out of it with very high heat on a Miele induction cooktop for searing and oven use. There's not a scratch on the coating. A chip on the very top edge due to handling has been there for years and its been stable since the chip. Our other non sticks, circa $100/pan, last a year, 2 years max before we replace them. In the time we've owned this pan, we've been through at least 8 non-stick frying pans I can remember and probably another 3 or 4 I can't remember. We try all the latest new technologies and continue to replace them on a regular basis.

I'm not sure just what this coating is but its definitely a lot harder than PFOA or Teflon. Almost like a ceramic coating. Not as "slide around" nonstick as those but lasts way longer and clean up is still very easy.

I'm on this page because these Viking pans, though expensive and heavy, are superb. Our smaller pans are again ready to be replaced. So its pay for the Vikings as I'm sick and tired of replacing the less expensive pans.

Fit most and that is good but this lid is very flimsy. Easily bends and dents. Not very sturdy. Wish I had gone with a more study lid.

the lid is so lightweight it is of little use...i put a heavy bowl on top of it (upsidedown) to keep heat inside; it's just too lightweight!
