Amazon needs to be more descriptive of this product. It says right on the label not to use on a glass cooktop, no where is this mentioned in Amazon's description of the product. It looks like a nice pan, but it needs to go back. Lots of people are using glasstop ranges, these days. Amazon, please update your description of this product.

Buy Granite Ware 6150-4 1.5-Quart Double Boiler
I ordered this pan, thinking it'd be perfect for melting chocolate, but this pan can't be used on glass or ceramic stovetops. Just be aware of that limitation before you order!

This pot rack is very heavy duty and installation was easy. In the ceiling where I mounted this rack there was only drywall, but the included bolts for installation made it both easy and secure. I currently have 7 Calphalon non-stick pots and pans which are fairly heavy hanging from this rack and they fit perfectly with none of them clanking together.
One thing I was surprised at though is in the picture I thought the rack curved up in the back and down in the front. This is an optical illusion. It actually just slants right and left and is flat all the way across.
The only drawback of this rack which isn't a big deal for me is that since it is mounted on hooks in the center, if you take a pan off of the right or left sides the entire rack tilts a little to the opposite side.
Overall it is a great looking, unique pot rack that doesn't look like every other pot rack out there. I would definitely buy again.

What is the primary difference between this pan and a basic mini-bundt pan? The picture doesn't do the pan justice. Some of the pumpkins are a little narrower and taller and some are a bit squatty. There are leaves and tendrils embossed on the pumpkins -all differences from the standard mini-bundt pan.
You get what you pay for, and the quality of this pans is worth the money, and properly cared for, it will last a lifetime. For perfect unmolding every time -although the pan is non-stick, it needs to be properly prepared -and that is most easily accomplished by using either Wilton's cake release or a cooking spray designed for baking (one that contains flour.)
To ensure a perfect unmolding, let the cake cool upright for ten minutes after removing it from the oven before inverting it. Too soon and the cakes will be fragile and may fall apart, longer than 10 minutes and the cakes begin to adhere to the pan and may stick. And, as with all non-stick surface pans, never use metal utensils or harsh scouring pads on the pan.
Dense batters work best because coarse batters (lots of air and little fat) have lots of bubbles which reduce the amount of detail reflected in the finished cake. There are many recipes for pound cakes and bundt cakes that will work perfectly with this pan, along with the recipe included with the pan from Nordic Ware. Give the pan a good rap on the counter before putting it in the oven to release any trapped air bubbles. The cakes produced are intricate and highly detailed. It looks like much effort was expended. These pumpkin cakes will add a lovely touch to a Thanksgiving buffet or a Halloween themed party.

This is a beautiful, detailed mini bundt pan. Ordinary cake or muffins will become delightful eye candy that will impress your family and friends. The 12 little pumpkin shapes have subtle differences some tall and slender, some short and fat, and some with leaves and tendrils. They are adorable as is or can be decorated with icing for a more elegant presentation. The Nordic Ware Platinum Collection pans are top quality durable enough to become family heirlooms with a non-stick coating that actually works. As with any baking pan, to get best results spray with a non-stick baker's spray containing flour, like Baker's Joy. Do NOT use the regular Pam type sprays for baking or your results will be disappointing! With proper care this pan will be handed down to your grandchildren and perhaps great-grandchildren. I hope people will still bake at home by then! :D)Best Deals for Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Pumpkin Patch Pan
The Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Pumpkin Patch Pan is on par with all the items in their platinum line. This is a heavy duty pan that will keep on delighting hard core bakers and new cooks alike. The baking results are uniform and the release excellent. Hand cleaning is recommended, but the nonstick surface makes this no problem. I am a convert to this line of decorative bake ware, and have begun to collect it. In short, this is good stuff.Honest reviews on Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Pumpkin Patch Pan
I've only recently discovered that I have a "thing" for cute pans. So, I wound up with this one after I saw it in Williams Sonoma one day. Sure am glad I bought it! It was featured on the cover of the Southern Living fall magazine this year too and well, I HAD to have it! I used their receipe too and although I didn't like the cake part, the icing was wonderful! Anyway, this pan is a dream to use. You put it in the dishwasher when you're finished too and that's certainly a plus. The cakes come out whole, don't fall apart in the pan, and even include leaves on the ends so that you can make candied leaf patterns to place on top of the pumpkins. SOOO cute for Thanksgiving and fall in general. My only suggestion is that you need to gently tap the pan before you bake the pumpkins. Otherwise, you can wind up with air holes on the tops of the pumpkins. Great, great, SUPER cute product. Highly recommend!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Pumpkin Patch Pan

Range Kleen 2 Shelf Wall Mount Black Pot Rack Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $39.98
Today's Bonus: 33% Off

I've read the reviews and would rate the installed product with 5 stars. It's sharp looking, very functional, and if installed properly should stand up for a long time. That being said the key word is to install it PROPERLY. I looked at their installation video twice before installing it and read the critical reviews posted here.
Do yourself a favor and toss their so called installation hardware. You're going to need four spring action anchor bolts and you'll also need to drill a hole in the top center rack. You can't do the same on the bottom rack as it is recessed. MOST IMPORTANTLY, make the center hole that you've drilled line up with a stud. Their video says to "get as many of their predrilled holes to go into studs". Unless your house is built with horizontal studs (I jest) that will never happen. You probably won't want one of the other holes which are off center by 5 inches on the top and more than that on the bottom to be the one going into the stud. That can only tend to make the unit list to one side when you load it with pots and pans.
For just a few cents more they could have included spring action anchors and drilled the center hole that I referred to. They also could have made it easier to access the screws which you will need to tighten as this requires a short or off center screwdriver.
Oh well, I had nothing else to do that morning. Good Luck !!!
We plopped a little potted plant on the very top rack and it really ties the kitchen together.
Before I get into what was required, I will give you the GOOD.
Once mounted it looks great. The pictures of the black mount show far more sheen on the black metal than is actually there, it's almost a matte black and looks very sharp.
The form factor is also just fine, two shelves are nice to have.
The hooks are the same matte black as the base, mounting the hooks on the inner grating seems necessary to get what you want to hang in the right place, but they have a tendency to shift and clang around a lot when you do this.
For ~$40, it's a steal, except...
The BAD:
The mounting hardware they give you is totally inadequate; You need one strong woodscrew or lag bolt screwed into a stud in the top center mount, otherwise any substantial weight you put on it will probably come down crashing in the middle of the night (like some reviewers have claimed).
The mounting scheme for the top shelf is poorly designed. Don't let any reviewer here tell you differently, more than 10lbs of weight on this shelf will make the metal at the top sag. When you put weight on it, all of the force is exerted at either edge of the top shelf. There is only one screw in the top, and it's in the *center*. When it's secured into a stud, instead of crashing down, the metal simple deforms and bends around that center screw. This is what people mean when they say it *sags*. And yes it does sag, no matter how heavy duty your mounting hardware is.
I could not tolerate this, I got around it by doing the following. I drilled two additional mounting holes on either side of the top shelf and anchored them with drywall screws. Due to the curve of the shelf, it's almost impossible to actually screw these in (probably why the designers didn't put them there). You have to use an extremely short screwdriver, or a ratchet with a phillips screwdriver and a lot of patience.
Putting it all together and mounting it to my satisfaction took me at least an hour, but once I added the additional mount points, there was no sag. It's not so solid it still doesn't bend or bow a bit when I give it a good tug, but it's not visibly deforming with 25lbs+ of cookware on it. Two design flaws: the metal is just too soft for this purpose, and you need mounting points at the edges of the top mount. I wanted to get two of these and mount them next to eachother (hey, I have a lot of cookware), but now I'm reconsidering it, even with such a great price.
This alone made me question my purchase.
After mounting the rack with pop-toggle screws from HD (the included anchors for this rack gave me nightmares of failure in the middle of the night), my questions were answered. The top shelf was bowing out away from the wall! I hung my 14 piece Cook's set from JCP on the bottom shelf with the supplied hangers, and the top was bowed out a good 1/4" at the corners.
We'll see how long this lasts. I suspect the first spot to fail will be the top mounting point.
NOTE TO MANUFACTURER: Please use the same locations for mounting screws for the top shelf as you do for the bottom.

I had checked the restaurant supply store in my area for pot racks, but all they had were the straight stainless steel ones. I found this rack after some research and decided it was the best I could get for my money. I received it, put it together and mocked it up on my wall. The first thing that I noticed was the lack of a second mounting hole on the top shelf. The bottom has two holes, but the top has one directly in the center.This alone made me question my purchase.

These pans are advertised as "stainless steel" but are coated with an aluminum finish. They are not sturdy chef-style pans, but rather flimsy and thin. They bend under change of temperature to the point of twisting. The picture and description were hard for me to see these disadvantages, so they were a disappointment from opening the box. I will say that they come clean easily for a non non-stick pan. Also they are shiny.

Wow, talk about false advertising. I went ahead and purchased these despite reviews claiming these were flimsy; and I shouldn't have. They are very flimsy, not the heavy gauge they are advertised to be. They bend and bow when held with just one hand, which would risk cookies, etc. ending up on the floor; just not sturdy at all. They are advertised to be 18/10 stainless and they are not. I applied a magnet to the surface of each, and the magnet held on tightly. Magnets do not stick to 18/10 stainless. These are 18/0 lower quality stainless. I can find baking sheets of similar quality (18/0) at Dollar Tree for $1, and they are more sturdy than these! I was looking for an 18/10 heavy gauge cookie sheet, these are falsely advertised as being such, but they are not. I am returning them and looking for something else.Best Deals for Deluxe 2 (two) Stainless Steel Bakeware Set with Jelly Roll Pan

Discount Scanpan 18/10 Stainless Steel Roasting Racks

Today's Bonus: 16% Off

I've been looking for a roasting rack that would last solid stainless rather than chrome plate or Teflon coated. I ordered this in size small and it's just what I wanted. Sturdy, dishwasher safe, and the shape supports a roast or chicken nicely. The adjustable ones always collapse on me, I like that this is a solid one-piece unit. While designed to use with the Scanpan, the small fits my standard 9x13.5" stainless baking pan with a little space around it, and is sturdy enough to support any roast that would fit in the pan. I plan to get a larger one for my larger roasting pan, for the next time I cook a turkey.
Update Jan 2013 I finally got the larger size, they were out of stock when I tried before. The box gives the dimensions of the large as 17 1/4" x 12 1/2" x 3". I measure it at about 13 3/4 x 11 1/4 x 2 1/2". The smaller one I measure at about 10 1/4" x 7 3/4" x 2 1/4". The large is sturdy enough for a large turkey, which is what I was looking for.
Amazon customer service was helpful and processed a refund and a pre-paid return label. Great service, but, still a disappointment. Also wish customer service was in the U.S. rather than outsourced.
Update: Picture now shows rack you will get. Thank you Amazon for putting correct image in listing.
That said, it fits a Calphalon roasting pan. I like that the handles do not extend up (and beyond) the sides of the roasting pan. While it will make it difficult to raise the bird from the pan still sitting on the rack, it will make it much easier to use lifters to remove the bird from rack and pan.
It does seem to be made reasonably simple and sturdy.
Cons
It is definitely not the advertised size 13 x 8.5 x 3 inches.
Actual dimensions are 10.125 x 7.5 inches.

Buy Regalware Food Service Elegance Stainless Steel 3.5-quart Saucepan
This pan is made in China. I was dissapointed to see that as I had purchased this thinking it was made in the USA. Turns out there aer a couple of companies using the regal name. So, be careful. It is a very nice pan though. An especially good value. Comapre to the Williams Sonoma Al Clad stuff at over twice the price. Good and heavy. The first thing I noticed was that I could keep a simmer at a much lower heat setting. That tells me the heat is being distributed effectively. Cleans up well. Some pans this capacity have the extra handle. That would be a nice addition when it is full. It gets heavy. Makes it harder to fit in the dishwasher though.

Had the whole family over for Christmas Eve. Placed food in crock pots, when finished changed to warmer. Kept me out of the kitchen and able to enjoy the festivities.
The metal finish of the base unit was dull and easily marked. The black portion of the unit also was very cheap appearing and easily marked. There are no lights on the unit to tell if a pot is off or on.You plug it in and adjust the dials. You could easily get burned.
The pot and lids were fine but the base really takes away from the product. The unit is also quite lengthy. It takes up alot of counterspace. It easily could have been more compact. Also, the cord had a sticky white substance stuck to it that took nearly 30 minutes to peel off in little pieces, YUK!
It is too heavy and bulky to return.
I will try it but most likely it will go to a good cause. Next time I will pay more attention to the brand name.

I placed food in these thing and the family can eat all day. However, thay can be used to cook a meal in but I have not used them for that as of yet.Saturday, June 28, 2014
WMF Sealing Ring For All WMF pressure Cookers & Pressure Frying Reviews
I purchased this sealing ring for my parents who have owned he same WMF pressure cooker for over 30 years. They had not changed the ring on it for almost 5 years and were still using the cooker on a weekly basis. They were going to wait til their next trip to Germany to get a replacement ring because they thought that's the only place they could get one. I decided to take a chance and do a Amazon search for it since they really needed a new ring because the pressure cooker was starting to leak. I was amazed that they had it but was a little skeptical that it would fit their pressure cooker since it was sooo old. I decided to purchase it anyways since it was only $10. Shipping was quick and it fit the cooker perfectly. Thank you amazon for saving my parents a trip to Germany and now they can change the ring more often.

Excellent replacement that is almost impossible to find. WMF pressure cooker was originally purchased in Germany over 20 years ago. Seal ring fits perfectly and now it's back in use. Thanks to Amazon.com for their quick delivery (item was originally out of stock) and outstanding customer service. We are very pleased.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for WMF Sealing Ring For All WMF pressure Cookers & Pressure Frying
This was the exact sealing ring (part number:) Ersatzteil-Nr. 60 6855 9997 & 60 6855 9990 , which fits all 22cm diameter pots. This is our second replacement seal for our circa 1985 pot. They only last about 10 years on a gas stove. Burner size selection is key. If you burner is too big for the pot the flames will slowly roast your new seal, shortening it's life. It's great that you can still get a replacement for a such an excellent pressure pot. Thank you Amazon and WMF!Wednesday, June 25, 2014

I love this pan for cooking any thing, stew, frying a chicken even making soup. And it cleans ups so well your can not believe it. if you burn anything to it just add some hot water and soap place back on stove and reheat it up, let sit for about 15 minutes and whip out all the burned on stuff, it works. It you really did a job you may have to clean a bit with baking soda too. Best pan I have ever had. and I cook alot!

By far the best saucepan I purchased and looking forward to purchasing more products from Emeril the quality is wonderful. Nothing sticks and really easy to clean this sauce pan . I like to wash them fully than put them in the dishwasher to steam dry and the look like new each time.Best Deals for Emeril by All-Clad E8848264 Chef's Stainless Steel Dishwasher Safe
As most others, I think this is a great pan and I cook a lot. But the reason I can't give it 5 stars is also stated by another reviewer. If you saute anything with gas heat at more than low, and who doesn't?, the sides of the pan scorch. I'll live with that because it's a great pan but it does take away a bit from the enjoyment.Honest reviews on Emeril by All-Clad E8848264 Chef's Stainless Steel Dishwasher Safe

Cannot say enough about the quality of Emerial cookware. I already owned a set, but was thrilled to find this larger one--I use it all the time. It cooks evenly and beautiful and is easy to clean and care for. Quality all the way!Monday, June 23, 2014

I guess I dont really get why this pot only costs 9 bucks.. It is really thin but I like it because of the glass coating. I was looking for a glass or ceramic coated pot for health reasons, as they have the least amount of chemicals or heavy metals leach off them.
Just so happens it seems this is the least expensive 1 quart pot of any kind sold directly from amazon as well. So best of both worlds. I like how easy it is to clean. Just be gentle with it.. never drop or bang it against anything, and dont put it on high heat or heat it with nothing in it. Dont let anything burn in it. But of course if you do break it, it will be a pretty cheap replacement.

Cleans up better than stainless steel. Only problem is the first one (under a year old) rusted in two places. Thus the 3 stars rather than 5. Fortunately cheap enough to replace. A sort of disposable item like a razor blade. Looks cool too.Best Deals for Granite Ware Open Saucepans
The description says nothing about not being compatible with glass stove tops. You don't find out until you receive the product and read the label.Honest reviews on Granite Ware Open Saucepans
I've had the 1qt and 2qt saucepans for years and still use them all the time. They last, they clean up easy and I love the blue enamel. The 3qt completes my saucepan set. Sometimes you might see these sets in a dollar store, don't be fooled, while in-expensive they are not cheap they are very high value. I've had the 1 and 2 qt pans for over 20 years so i thought about buying them again while I was at it, but looking them over carefully I realized they just didn't need replacing!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Granite Ware Open Saucepans
good product for the price. This pan does exactly what I need it to do. Only complaints are that the handle gets really hot, so use an oven mit and there's already a little rust spot where the black rim at the top is...Thursday, June 5, 2014
Best 5-qt. Saute Pan with Lid Deals

I already had purchased two large skillets with this type of lining and I was pleased with them so when I needed a large capacity pan I searched online until I located this one. I have already used it and it worked out well. I have found with this type of lining it worked best for me if I heated the pan and then sprayed with PAM and/or added a small amount of oil. the pans clean up well.
I will keep the truclad pan since the cost is similar and return shipping would cost a small fortune.
I am very disappointed though, because it just didn't last. Despite that I ALWAYS used a bit of oil in the pan when cooking as it recommends, it still just didn't hold up. Now, about a year later, there is a large mottled dark area near the center where food sticks as though it were just a stainless steel pan. No amount of scrubbing (which I resisted for the first eight months I owned it) will remove it.
This pan lasted me about as long as any other nonstick Teflon pan would, only it cost about 4 or 5 times as much.

I bought this pan to replace a old non-stick saute pan that was no longer non-stick. I bought this pan based on all of the other positive reviews and they did not even come close to describing how great this pan is. The non-stick coating is fantastic! I have now used this pan three times and nothing has come close to sticking at all making cleanup very easy. This non-stick coating will allow you to brown unlike other non-sticks but not as good as my stainless/copper pan. My only small complaint is that this 5qt pan is slightly smaller in diameter but a bit taller than my other 5qt pans; personally I would have preferred larger and shallower.Best Deals for 5-qt.

I bought this used from the Amazon warehouse and did not get what I expected. It was listed as a "Spirit, Ceramic Coated" pan but what I received was actually a TRUCLAD pan which I actually like better because there is no coating to scratch.I will keep the truclad pan since the cost is similar and return shipping would cost a small fortune.

I paid $130 for this pan and expected it to last me several years with its new ceramic coating. It was WONDERFUL for the first two or three months, as I could clean it with my hand and a dab of soap alone. I don't think I could get something to stick to it if I tried.I am very disappointed though, because it just didn't last.

Have been using this pan for about 4 months now and we really like it. It was hard to find a good quality deep non-stick pan. We were worried the glass top would look awful in no time but it seems to be holding up well.
