Best Global GSF-17 - 2 1/2 inch, 6cm Bird's Beak Curved Peeling Knife Deals

Among my assorted bird's beak paring knives, this one has a special place. There's no hiding place for any transfer of salmonella bacteria from poultry to produce, for this knife is made of a single piece of steel, and the solid handle has good weight. (Not all knives in this line have a solid handle.) Furthermore, it stands up to use and abuse, unlike any other knife I've ever had.

I bought mine in a specialty knife store (which has since gone out of business) close to ten years ago. After a nameless family member helped out in the kitchen, it seemed to have disappeared, and I mourned for this little knife. Turns out said family member had accidentally dumped it in the composter, along with a small mountain of vegetable waste. I boiled it and it rejoined the household.

Comfortable to hold, it does a variety of paring tasks well in the kitchen. Slipperiness mentioned in reviews of other knives in this line has not been a problem. Weight and balance are excellent. I like the completeness with which it can be cleaned.

If you have a kitchen or flower garden, you'll find good uses for it outdoors as well. I grow edible ginger, as well as the kind with flowers. For cutting the rhizome from the plant, this can't be beat. I also use it when it's time to thin the heliconias and strip old leaves off lilies.

In perusing reviews about other knives in this line, there appears to be concern about sharpening the Japanese-made steel. I use a Chantry knife sharpener and find it brings this knife back to an acceptable edge.

BOTTOM LINE: If you like the bird's beak style of paring knife, you are likely to find a use for this one. Amazon's price is excellent. I paid about twice the amount and would recommend it even at that price. If you've never tried a bird's beak paring knife, this one is reasonably priced and especially versatile for the reasons mentioned.

First thing to note, if you've not used a bird's beak before, is that this is a specialty function knife. Don't buy it before you get (at least) a few other kitchen knives, especially a parer/utility and chef's knife. Some relatives have come over and tried to use it in conjunction with a cutting board and quickly set it aside--which is fine because they were getting ready to slice a finger off.

I've used it for fluted mushrooms, which is still more work than I'd like, and it does the job fine. It also works well with paring hand-held fruits and vegetables, but not being an expert, I still prefer the conventional gizmos for that.

Where it excels for my wife and I is in cutting up poultry. We usually buy our birds whole. The only time we carve is Thanksgiving. The rest of the time, whether before or after cooking, the knife of choice is this Global bird's beak. It is a veritable joy to disencumber our fowl of their appendages and such. "A hot knife through butter" as the saying goes, applies perfectly here. A whole bird is easily sectioned into six to twelve pieces in seconds. A cleaver can work as fast, but we're more joint-finders than makers, and the small knife and no-cutting board approach works great for us--less space taken, less washing, less mess. The curved point and shorter blade make the non-cutting-board approach such a good choice--I sure wouldn't recommend this technique using those 10-inch "broadswords." Of course a good chef's knife can work well too--you gotta have them, but this Global is perfection.

Sharpening takes extra time and care, but it rarely needs it--keeping a razor edge for at least half a year with about once-per-week use.

Best Deals for Global GSF-17 - 2 1/2 inch, 6cm Bird's Beak Curved Peeling Knife

I'm not going to spend a lot of time discussing this knife as it is very much the same quality of knife that you would expect from Global. Just like all Global knives, it is a solid, one piece knife that has a razor sharp edge that stays sharp longer than most other brands of knives.

I originally bought this knife for use in culinary competitions, and it's one of those knives that really doesn't get a whole lot of attention, but sure is handy when you need it. I use it primarily to tourne potatoes. The shape is designed for that purpose, and the knife is therefore often described as a "tourne knife". Sure, you could use it to complete many different tasks from food to general house hold needs, but I wouldn't pay $30 to use it as an all purpose knife when there are so many cheaper options out there.

If you're less interested in the uses of the knife and more curious of the quality of the knife, feel free to read one of my other reviews on Global knives. I use them every single day at work, and I have very little interest in exchanging them for any other brand.

November 2010I purchased this rack to replace another organizer that didn't work quite right. Although it is smaller than I had thought it would be, it has plenty of room to organize all of my stoneware and cookie sheets. The previous system I used didn't hold up under the weight of the stoneware pizza stones, but this one is doing its job beautifully.

August 2011After months of abuse this rack continues to stand strong. It is currently holding 2 pizza stones, a stoneware cookie sheet, a stoneware bar pan and numerous metal cookie sheets. I wish I had found this before and saved myself years of frustration.

I have hundreds of dollars invested in the best baking pans money can buy. For years I've had them sliding off shelves, stacked in cupboards, driving me crazy, but I've never found a rack that would accommodate them in an organized fashion.... until I found the Copco Adjustable Bakeware Organizer. I bought three and "easily" mounted them on top of a pantry shelf. I set the dividers just exactly how I wanted them and Voila! all of my treasured bake ware is perfectly organized and easy to retrieve. They are sturdy and well made and best of all they work the way "I" want them to.

I ordered 2 of these for my new over-fridge cabinet, and they have been great! The wires are good and sturdy; I have a LOT of bakeware and I fit all the cookie sheets and pizza sheets and pizza stones and thinner items in the different dividers, and put the muffin tins and fatter things in between the two units. You can remove a single wire to create an extra-large space, but this was a better use of space, to me. I haven't actually installed it, and it does not seem to budge on its rubber feet. I'd rather not have to screw into my new cabs if I can avoid it!

Honest reviews on Copco 2555-1978 Adjustable Bakeware Organizer

I chose to install the rack on the wall in a lower kitchen cabinet. My biggest complaint was that the base part of the rack was an inch or two thick and the very short screws were extremely hard to place since the holes were set in so deep. I was also missing a screw from the packaging, but I will admit that it still seems stable without the 4th. The shelves themselves seem very sturdy once they are installed. I think a couple of very small design changes could make installation much easier without compromising stability.

First, I realize this is adjustable, but I don't feel I'm getting the most bang for my buck if I don't get to use the whole product. The slots are very narrow, much to narrow for a cake pan or even a pie pan. It is nice for the flatter bakeware like cookie sheets. We bought several brands and this was my least favorite, I prefer the brands with wider bands. It is sturdy and heavy.

I bought this stuff based on a personal recommendation and all the positive reviews. I was not sorry. It really simplified cleaning the cooking surface grills of our propane gas BBQ grill unit which we let go a little too long. I simply first removed the heavy stuff that could easily come off with Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scouring Pads 20 Count (or you can use something similar) and then a stick of this did the rest. I made the mistake of buying a Grill Cleaning Brick and trying to use it first. I am sure it can work too, but these little sticks are a lot easier.

The result was the grills on this thing came out looking almost like the day we bought it.

NOTE: You may be surprised that these are extremely porous and they get used up quickly. You will probably need a whole stick to clean the complete grill cooking surface. It's also kind of messy. You have to use water with it. But, it's a messy job to begin with.

Review of Swiss Diamond 6418T Nonstick Fry Pan, 7-Inch

I wrote the Swiss Diamond company and asked for an explanation of what the nano-composite material was made of.

After a week or so, I received a polite reply from Allan Wolk, an employee in the U.S. His email informed me that, "Our patented nonstick surface uses a nano-composite of real diamond crystals and PTFE; it is applied using a computer controlled plasma gun at very high temperatures."

Naturally, my attention was immediately drawn to the PTFE. The acronym sounded familiar. What was PTFE?

A quick search of Wikipedia provided the answer: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTFE)

As Wikipedia explains:

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer discovered by Roy J. Plunkett (1910-1994) of DuPont in 1938. It was introduced as a commercial product in 1946 and is generally known to the public by DuPont's brand name Teflon®.

Huh? Teflon? Wait a minute. Didn't the Swiss Diamond website just claim that the product contained no Teflon?

If you look back at the Swiss Diamond website screen capture, the careful wording of their answer now becomes clear. It states, "The Swiss Diamond coating does not contain any Teflon taking into consideration that "Teflon" is a trade mark, made and owned by DUPONT."

So the pans don't contain Teflon, they just contain the chemical called Teflon. It's like saying a nuclear warhead doesn't contain any plutonium, it only contains nuclear fissionable material.

For the manufacturer to insist the Swiss Diamond pans contain no Teflon whatsoever when it is made primarily from polytetrafluoroethylene, the chemical widely known as Teflon, is extremely deceptive. In fact, the intent of the Swiss Diamond company seems to be to deceive consumers by omission of the facts. The FAQ document on the Swiss Diamond website, for example, does not bother to say something like, "But our pans do contain PTFE, the chemical known as Teflon." It simply insists they contain no Teflon and moves on to the next question.

It seems that Swiss Diamond goes out of its way to give the impression that this product is free of Teflon chemicals and is surfaced primarily with diamonds. That's the impression I got, anyway, and I read the promotional materials several times before purchasing the pan.

Consumers have been hoodwinked!!!!!!!

I like this 7-inch Swiss Diamond frying pan so much, I ordered another one!!! I also have the 8-inch size, which I was happy with, but this 7-inch size is so much better for when I want to make just an egg or two. The 8-inch size is better suited for 3-4 eggs. When using just one or two eggs, they tend to spread out in the 8-inch pan too much, but not in this smaller 7-inch size pan. It's a much better size and less expensive, too. I like the Swiss Diamond pans. Good quality, easy to clean for those of us with arthritic fingers, very non-stick--inside and out, thick bottomed, even heating with easy to hold handles. I DO NOT like the price on SD pans at all! I think it could be lower. I DO NOT like the fact that Swiss Diamond claims their pans do not have Teflon, instead using the "generic" name. Whatever name you use, it's still Teflon. Saying it isn't, is dishonest. However, so far, they have held up pretty well, so I guess I'm glad I have them. I did notice the bottom on this 7-inch size was NOT as thick as the other sizes, but it doesn't seem to affect performance, so I guess it's okay. I like them and would buy them again!

I cook a full breakfast for my husband and me every morning before we head off to work. Having gone through countless of those wire splatter guards that seem to tear within days of purchase, I was delighted to find the Calphalon 13-Inch Universal Splatter Guard online. It fits securely on any size pot or pan, is lightweight yet sturdy, and cleans up in a breeze through hand washing or in the dishwasher. I can see this lasting for years. A very good quality, well-designed product that I'm glad to have.

Best Deals for Calphalon 13" Splatter Guard

This Calphalon Splatter Guard is so much better than the splatter screens I had (which I gave away). This one size splatter guard will fit an 8, 10 or 12 inch pan. It is definately a quality item and has some weight to it. If your thinking about a splatter guard for your Calphalon or any other cookware, I would hightly recommend this one.

Honest reviews on Calphalon 13" Splatter Guard

I used to have a trio of mesh splatter guards: small, medium, large. They were not sturdy and they disintegrated within three or four years. Then I saw a single-piece stainless steel splatter guard at Williams-Sonoma, but it cost something like $55 for one size. Three different sizes would have cost me close to $150! No thank you.

Finally, I found this splatter guard. It's one, not three: so no juggling in the cabinet for the right size. It's not mesh: so no disintegrating or bending out of shape. And it costs closer to $20 than $150. Hooray!

I've tried this on four different Calphalon pans, and it has worked on each. No effort required, just settle the guard onto the pan and the rim kind of settles into place depending on the size of the pan.

Upon receiving the product, my one concern was whether the food would steam rather than fry, because the perforations in this product seem a bit small. But the product information that came with this splatter guard assured me that food would not steam. And, it doesn't.

I thought that I would really like this product, and I really wanted to. It is more solid than the screens (I always felt like those were fragile). However, the major issue with this product is that the holes are too large. Grease spatter will still make it through so that you have to wipe all around the stove top, just like you would have to do without using the product.

I wish I had kept the originally packaging so that I could return it but c'est la vie. I will be ordering a classic screen splatter guard to replace this one.

This set of cookware was great when I first started using it. It was non-stick as described, heated evenly on an electric stove and overall I was pretty satisfied with it. After using it for a year, my opinion is beginning to change. The handles on the pots keep coming loose and have to be tightened every couple of uses. The non-stick bottom, although I have been very careful to avoid scratching or damaging it has started to peel off in little bubbles. The bottoms tend to get burn marks that you can't scrub off even with some serious elbow grease. I think when you buy these, you are buying the name. You could probably get a similar item for much less money at your local superstore. Not thrilled.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

Overall we've been pleased with the Paula Deen cookware, but be aware that as per the manufacturer's instructions included inside the box they can not be used on high heat settings. This hasn't been so much of an issue with the pans, but whenever we need to boil something in a pot (eggs, pasta, soups, water, etc) we have to use a different set of cookware altogether.

That's a pretty big design flaw in my opinion when cookware can only be used on low and medium heat settings.

My second complaint with the set is that the smallest pieces are too small to be useful. The smallest pot, for example, is absolutely tiny. It fits inside of the smallest pot from our old set and is smaller in diameter than the burners on the stove.

It's a good basic set for the $100 price range, just know that you're gonna have to invest in additional pieces for a full range of cooking.

* Wanted to add, too, that advertising this as a "15-Piece Cookware Set" is a bit misleading. The measuring spoons are utensils, not cookware, so you're really only getting a 10 piece cookware set here.

Customer Ratings: 5 stars

This lasagna baker is pricey, but so worth every penny. This is my second one as my husband dropped the first one and, well, yes, it cracked. We contemplated whether we should just buy a cheap version of this size or pay the extra bucks and get the same one. With my really good experiences with the first one, I decided I did not want to chance it. The following are the positives of this baker:

1) Great size for family sized lasagna, potato gratin and generously sized dishes;

2) Bakes evenly with no "hot spots";

3) Glaze is so smooth and without defects so often found on cheaper bakers that clean up is super easy;

4) You can stick this in fridge, freezer, oven, dishwasher without worrying wheather it will crack (the only place you cannot use this is the stove);

5) It looks so good that it can go directly from oven to table; and

6) The handles are perfect for getting a secure grip when handling in mitts, but not too protrusive that storage in fridge would be a hassle.

The cons are:

1) Price;

2) No cover.

But, over the years, I have purchased and cherished many Emile Henry baking dishes and there is simply no comparison they look as beautiful now as 20 years ago when I started collecting different ones.

Wow! I just had to make two back-to-back dishes of my Crepes Ensenada and needed to hurry doing it. So I made one full dish, cooled it, took it out, and without cleaning it first (I never would do that with any other dish!), baked another full dish. Yes, I had to use a scraper on it after it soaked, but it came out clean, without too much time spent doing it too. No scratches and lovely crepes to boot. The only thing about this dish is that, because of its size, one has to be very careful washing/rinsing it, so it is not banged in the sink. If banged, like glass, it may crack at a future date.

The color is a bit darker than the picture of the red Cherise and the yellow Citron dishes. Of course, when one is viewing colors on a computer, the type of graphics card and its settings can cause variations on the color we see vs. the color that the host site is actually displaying.

Well I love Emile Henry, so I knew this would be a great purchase. I made Baked Ziti and did it in a plain Pyrex 9"x13" dish. And it was jam packed. Almost mounded on top. Had to bake it on a cookie sheet so it could bubble over. So I wanted to get a slightly bigger dish to have some more room. At first I was worried it would be too big because it says its 5 quarts. (The 9x13 is a 3 quart). But the size is PERFECT. It doesn't look like it is almost twice the size of the 9x13. But I filled it up with water and sure enough it holds 5 quarts. I love this dish. I know it will get tons of use. I decided on yellow and it is soooo pretty. Great investment!

Got this mini round cocotte to hold a coarse finishing salt. It sits 24/7 on the dining room table on a lazy susan so is within everybody's reach. The lid keeps the coarse salt dry and clean. Its cheerful yellow has been a spot of sunshine throughout the past dreary winter.

I gave our married son who loves to cook and entertains a lot 5 of these in different colors to set along the back of his kitchen cooktop. He keeps a variety of salts in them and gets may compliments for their smashing good looks. The one drawback is that being made of ceramic they can break. The lid's handle on one broke off in one piece when accidentally knocked off onto the granite counter. It got super-glued back on and works fine.

I've given nieces multi-colored sets of these as wedding gifts with a variety of sea salts. They can use them as salt cellars or for baking. These make great gifts.

These are working out perfect so far. I use one for my Olive Oil & one for my Sunflower or other oil. Much better than the spray oil cans, I like using my oil on hand.

I've got olive oil in the olive green one, and GMO free canola oil in the silver one. So far, they've worked well, and I haven't had any clogging issues as of yet. I'm pleased. They're easy to fill, and pumping them is no big deal. The mist is good for spraying cookware, or putting a fine coating on foods that will be baked to get them crunchier. I'm glad I got them.

This is the second time I have put Enclume in a kitchen. They are attractive products, well made and very easy to put up. A great selection of hooks make hanging pots a breeze. If you put a board between the brackets, it can be used for extra storage or a display shelf, especially if you use the 8 or 12" brackets. I am using the 4" bracket on either side of a range hood and plan to use an 8 or 12" in front of the range hood for those pots seldom used. You do need to find wall studs for installation as these products are heavy

It's a nice hefty bar with good build quality. I liked the hammered steel finish. Unfortunately we had to return this bar because the brackets we purchased were too large (the 8" ones actually measure 9" deep) for our space. Note -the full length of the bar is 36". The flat middle part of the bar measures 32", which is the widest you can space the brackets.
