Staub Aubergine Round Cast Iron Cocotte, 2.75 Quart Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I love Staub enameled cast iron, nothing cooks better. This 2.75 Qt. size is perfect for me, I have larger pieces but continually reach for this one. The color is absolutely beautiful, and the lettering on my cocotte is gold, which seems an extra bonus. I can't say enough about Staub, in any size or configuration. I wish I could stop buying 'just another piece.' I have two other sizes ordered, and will soon be able to open a Staub outlet.

As a comparison, I have two Le Creuset pieces which are also excellent. I suppose it is just a matter of choice. I look forward to many, many delicious meals from this baby.

Discount CorningWare French White 17-Piece Bake and Serve Set

Customer Ratings:

The original "French White" Corningware was made of their famous pyroceramic glass, which could be used on the gas stove, put directly in the freezer, put under the broiler right from the freezer, and oh yes, also used in a microwave. And it was very unlikely to shatter if dropped. If you pounded on it with a hammer and nail you might have gotten it to break.

When World Kitchens bought the license from Corning, they decided to halt production of a line of cookware that would take anything and last forever, and dupe customers, especially brides, into thinking the stoneware "French White" was the same thing as the wonderful French White pyroceramic cookware previously available.

The pattern is attractive and can be used with any decor, but this stuff is not, repeat, really not, what people mean when they say "Corningware."

Le Creuset can do most of the above mentioned, but it being metal you cannot use it in the microwave. Stoneware cannot go on top of the stove, and repeated trips from the freezer to the oven will eventually cause it to craze and crack. And being stoneware, it will also chip, and break if dropped, etc. Pyrex glassware cannot go on the gas stove although you can take it from the freezer to the oven, and also microwave it.

The only product which could do anything was pyroceramic, and World Kitchens has chosen to remove it from the market because it is "too good."

They have recently brought back a few of the old square shapes, with the Cornflower, or plain white, calling it "vintage," but the French White shape is not making an appearance yet. If you want it, email them and ask for it!

Meanwhile, don't buy this stuff. Get Le Creuset for cooking and roasting (yes it is expensive but it lasts forever and cooks beautifully), and reheat things in Pyrex in the microwave.

I have many old original Corning Ware "Pyroceramic" casseroles that have held up very well over the years since bought in 1960s. The stuff is amazing you can cook on the range top, oven, microwave and then serve it in the same dish, and later store it in the refrigerator or freezer. The only thing I did not like was it is a bit heavy and thick, but I guess it had to be to survive all the abuse. All things considered, I liked it very well. Over the years, I was able to expand my set, and once in a while replace a piece that broke or got stained from use on the range top (even though it doesn't break, it tends to discolor on my electric range top, so I stopped doing that).

Fast forward 50 years. Corning licenses its trademark to World Kitchen, and they decide to cut corners and make a poor copy of so called CorningWare in China (the new trademark is one word, italics). This new stuff is not at all the same. It is poorly made stoneware, heavy, crude with a bumpy surface with glazing defects and cracks that make it unsafe and unsanitary to use for cooking food. I found one large casserole with 8 black pits on the inside glaze, a nice trap for food particles. It has an unsealed bottom and can no longer be used on the range top. Maybe it's planned obsolescence, because this stuff probably lasts about 10 seconds in normal use. And the pitted glaze is liable to hold food residue and sicken you, maybe lead in the glaze would do it first. Another brilliant product from China. It seems to me this newer "CorningWare" is both unsanitary and unsafe. This completely destroys customer trust in the Corning brand.

I guess they heard our complaints, because there is a new lineup of newer Corning Casseroles, introduced in 2008 called CorningWare SimplyLite. Apparently it is made in Corning NY, of the original Vitrelle laminated glass. It's not as durable as the original Pyroceram, but is half the weight and thinner, so it stacks and carries better. The surface is the same smooth hard glossy surface as the original Corelle, and cleans up like a charm. It is not rated for range top nor freezer use, as far as I can tell (water expands 4% when it freezes, so I would guess a thinner, weaker vessel might not handle that stress). But it's a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, no French White pattern pieces are available at this time in the SimplyLite lineup. But I'll be watching and amend this review if they come out.

I love using the two large casserole dishes but I don't have much use for the smaller ones which are much smaller than I expected them to be. The smaller ones are not only small but are very shallow: maybe 1 inch or so deep.

Honest reviews on CorningWare French White 17-Piece Bake and Serve Set

I've wrecked each and every piece of this Corningware by one of two things. Either I stacked them in such a way that they bumped against each other, or I scrubbed them with "scratch safe" sponges, and in each instance I got the same result: permanent streaky black marks in the white ceramic finish. So please learn from my pricey mistake. Go straight to the Pyrex or Marinex instead.

Easy to wash, easy to store. It's not that fancy and brittle that you have to watch to not break it. Four of pieces are with plastic lids and I use them to store marinated chicken, or salads I've maid. Four smallest peaces are great for dips and two biggest pieces that come with glass lids are perfect for baking. There is also a metal wire for easier carying.

Perfect for the money. Strongly recomended.

Yes it is just a large block of wood with slots cut in, but if you have a large collection of Henckel knives and outgrew your block or have a few random knives you would like to store together with your set, then this block is the way to go. Looks good on the counter, knives go in on their side, room for a medium cleaver, steel, and shears, as well as 8 steak knives.

I love my new knife block. I read many reviews and looked a different types for a long time before I decided on this particular model. I have a wonderful collection of Cutco knives (the best, in my opinion) and wanted to get all of them in one block. This fits the bill. The slots are large enough to accommodate my largest butcher knives and the Santoku knives and I have room for all my steak knives in the lower section. The block is well-finished and not so large that it takes up too much counter space.

Honest reviews on Zwilling J.A. Henckels Extra Large 22 Slot Design Hardwood Knife

After moving in with my fiancee, we went through the arduous process of melding two households into one. One of the things both of us had were high end J.A. Henckels knives that both of us purchased while stationed in Germany. I also had a cheapo set of everyday knives that were ultimately donated. So, we had all these knives, but only a knife block for 8 knives.... So what do we do? Luckily, Amazon sells the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin 22-Slot Knife Storage Block for a really good price! We originally debated between this block and the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin 26 slot Bamboo Swivel Blockbut the swivel was the deal breaker. When I received the package, I was thankful we didn't go with the 26 slot block because this thing is absolutely HUGE! I just really hadn't expected it to be that big. That's not a negative, just stating that it's a lot larger than I thought it would be.

Other than that, the block has all of the slots I need, and I even bought the matching steak knives for my set to go along with the new knife block. It's very sturdy and holds everything nicely. If I had to give a con for the knife block, the only thing I could come up with is that it does not cook, chop, or cut for you... But it sure does look pretty sitting on the counter!

Kettle emits more of a droning horn than a whistle when the water is boiling. The quality is acceptable but this is not a future heirloom. Instructions warn against using over high heat on gas range. I would rank as 5 stars if I had paid under $20.

Update: yes, if the kettle is filled to the level of the spout the whistle does does not readily sound. We rarely heat more than two servings so this is not a problem for us. Still using daily as of July 2013!

This kettle was purchased for me by my son-in-law for Christmas. It's delightfully heavy and really pretty. But it doesn't whistle. I've almost burned it on the stove twice because I've forgotten that it was on and got busy doing other things. Too bad.

Works very well with my induction cooker!

I needed induction ready cookware. The price & appearance were very attractive, & it is used daily. I place frozen steaks or frozen hamburger patties in the roasting pan & place it on a GRANITE countertop to defrost them in less than 30 minutes ( a discovery by an earlier reviewer). An inexpensive granite table or slab can be purchased. Any THIN metal sheet can be used instead of the roasting pan. This is much better than a Microvewave & much faster than a refrigerator. We love this set!

Review of Island Bamboo SPU-1795 Silicone Spoonula, Vibrant Red

Customer Ratings:

This spoon is wonderful a must have in your kitchen. I love the thickness of the spoon. It can handle the stirring of thick batters when the recipe calls for stirring and not mixing with an electric mixer. It is excellent for cookie dough. My hands used to hurt with the regular thin silicone spatulas and I was always worried about it breaking. I love that you can separate the silicone spoon part from the bamboo handle for cleaning. That makes it dishwasher friendly for those people who are addicted to their dishwashers. Personally, I prefer to hand-wash all my best pots and pans and cooking utensils in order to preserve them for many years of use. This is why all my kitchen gear looks new. I'm definitely going to get my money's worth. I don't even want to have to buy them again. Because as we sometimes discover, companies decide to stop making certain products, and then we're straight out of luck and have to settle for inferior products as replacements.

I have a lot of OXO silicone products that definitely serve their purpose, but Island Bamboo is the cooking utensil to beat! They are solid, heavy, and well made. I also have a few more of their utensils. And, I will be getting more of them soon. I now have a shopping rule for my favorite things. If I like it, I now buy two. That way, if something unexpected happens to one of them, I have another for back-up. (just in case the company stops making them) And you can believe that I will guard that last one with my life! LOL

Well, I'm off to make my chicken noodle soup with my Bamboo Island spoon! It's cold here in Chicago! Brrrrr!

Love the quality of the silicone and the bamboo handle. Surprisingly thick head that gives great strength in stirring thick sauces or what-have-you. But the sides are curved, not straight, and, because they are also so thick, you cannot push them hard enough to get a clean scrape on the side of your saucepan/bowl/etc. That's just a poor design for my usage. Everything else, though, is top-notch.

I got this as a gift and since day 1 I use it for cooking everything.. It's like a spoon and a spatula it's the best kitchen utensil ever.

The quality of the pan is good overall. I have to admit that. The problem I have with the pan is that it is so long you cannot get even heat when cooking on a stove top. The extra long handle along with the elongated pan makes it troublesome fitting in the cupboard with other pans. It is oven safe, but if you are cooking for a special event, then that's the only thing that can go in the oven. Putting it in the dishwasher is also out of the question. Eventually I hope to donate it to a charity.
