I'm very happy with the pan, heats up evenly. The welded handle (no rivets) is definitely a plus when washing it, I wish all manufacturers would do this... Handle design is also more comfortable than All-clad.

I ended up deciding on Demeyere after reading many reviews and watching a few youtube videos from the manufacture. First impression, I liked that it did not have rivets! Especially with fry pans, rivets can be so difficult to clean as food gets trapped; which also worries me about potential bacteria.

This pan is incredibly heavy, which took some time to get use to but so well made. It takes a while to heat up as others have mentioned. I use the water test to make sure it's at the correct temperature before adding anything, including oil. (Check out the free video on they have sample videos and one of them is on pan frying.) Once the pan is at the desired temperature, food does not stick and it cleans up beautifully. If it's not at the right temperature, it's a mess to clean. (I've learned the hard way.) You do have to make sure to keep the flame down to medium, even while heating for best results. I treat it much like preheating my oven. Put it on the stove, then start preparing my ingredients and within 5 minutes or so it's ready. If it is a bit messy, I will add a little white wine over the heat as if I'm deglazing, works like a charm. Also use barkeepers when needed; but am now ordering Demeyere's special soap to give it a try to. I love the 11" size, perfect for my family of four. Also looks beautiful hanging from my pot rack! It's an investment, so I am buying one piece at a time.

I enjoyed reading some of the other reviews about this pan and have to say most of them are very accurate. The only exception I find is that the pan doesn't seem to be as easy to clean as some would claim. It is a stainless steel pan, so if something gets a little too hot or you don't have enough oil it will stick (eggs come to mind). I now use a carbon steel griddle for eggs which works so much better with less oil. To clean the Demeyere proline, I found that one of the blue scrub sponges is usually sufficient for anything that gets stuck (it is designed to scrub but will not scratch the surface of this pan). In one particularly bad case, some canola oil splatters got very sticky and I couldn't get it off until I used some Dawn Power Dissolver. The pan looked absolutely new again.

Go to Sur La Table to see these pans in person, then buy it for much cheaper here at Amazon. You will see that the handle is the most comfortable of anything out there. The 11-inch has a helper handle.

The even heating of this pan is incredible, so much better than a cast iron skillet. This pan is a true joy to cook with!

Honest reviews on Demeyere Proline 5-Star 11" Frying Pan

With this pan, you too can get tasty Maillard reactions. I had been cooking on non-stick and stainless steel (not clad) cookware that I inherited. This is much, much better. Sauteed vegetables and pan fried cutlets just taste better. It deglazes like a champ. This is a heavy pan, feels like a cast iron skillet.

I've never purchased a $260 frying pan before....but I was very tired of the discoloration that happens on the less pricey models bought at local venues, so I decided to give this a try. Just once, to see if I like it.

I don't like it, I love it.

With an induction cooktop, this very heavy cookware heats quickly and evenly, all the way to the edges. On an electric cooktop it does the same. It browns meat beautifully. Burned food (yes, I wasn't watching it closely enough) actually comes off without leaving a mark of any kind on it, after a light scrub with a teflon pad or some BarKeepers Friend.

A similar incident on a $60 pan from Bed Bath and Beyond left the discolored stainless steel aura all over the inside of the pan that could not be removed with any amount of prayer or scrubbing. (Like the older Revere Ware.)

So, yes it is three times as expensive. But I will not ever have to replace it. (It has a thirty year warranty and I probably haven't got much longer than that myself, so it's all good.)

It is heavy not as heavy as something like Le Crueset, but much heavier than the stuff you buy locally. Take that into account if you are elderly with limited hand strength this isn't for frail individuals. The handle does not get hot, even though it is welded to the pan. And this is a small thing, but rather important from an "ease of cleaning" standpoint the interior is smooth. There are no handle rivets to get gunked up with food inside the pan, and make cleaning a chore.

Totally worth it! Excellent cookware!

Discount Tramontina 6.5 Qt Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Customer Ratings:

The product is exactly what was described, except that when I researched the company, I found that Tramontina's website claims that their products are manufactured in the USA. So I was quite surprised to find that the box this one arrived in was clearly marked, "Made in China." I had already purchased and returned a comparable Dutch oven that I bought because I got such a great deal on it. So I was quite disappointed to find that in the end I paid more for standing on principle, and ended up with the very same issue. Bummer. The vendor should include this information on the Amazon.com website.

Not only do I cook great soups, stews, chili, and tagines in this dutch oven, it is also wonderful for making no-knead artisan breads. (See my images for proof.) I see no reason to purchase the mondo-priced alternatives from other manufacturers when this powerhouse does it all and for much, much less money.

Follow all Tramontina instructions for seasoning the rims of the dutch oven and by all means don't use metal for stirring in this pot (though I do cheat and use metal tongs for browning roasts and large pieces of meat.)

Clean up is very, very simple. Anything I've ever cooked as pretty much wiped out of the pot on the first try. The rare occasions something sticks, I use these --> Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scouring Pads 20 Count

Discount Bialetti Arte Collection Cookware Deep Saute 5-1/2-Quart with Lid

Customer Ratings:

This saute pan is an excellent and durable piece of cookware for the price. This is my second one. Following four years of heavy and constant use the old pan finally began to show signs of wear and tear. I could not afford to replace it with a more expensive pan so I searched for this particular pan as it is the only pan in this price range that has ever stood up to the use that I give it. It is used almost daily and even withstands high heat and a lot of stirring and scapping.

We have had a first Bialetti Arte Deep Sauté pan for 5 years, but it was time to replace it. The teflon at the bottom had worn out and food stuck to it. The old one was "made in Italy" and I was hoping the company still had it made there, but it is very unlikely. The new pan has the same markings underneath except for that "made in Italy", so I can only assume that it was made in China.

The pan does not come with the packaging like on the picture, so there is no information about coating, materials, care, where it was made, etc. While the old pan had teflon ("slippery" non-stick), this one seems to have ceramic non-stick, which is "rough" non-stick. Food will not stick so that's fine. I am glad we bought this pan instead of a more expensive Calphalon pan. The size is just right and the performance/price ratio cannot be beat.

Review of Chef'sChoice M675 International Cordless Electric Hot Pot

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $80.00
Sale Price: $59.95
Today's Bonus: 25% Off

I just recieved this kettle to replace a rival hotpot. The Rival lacked an on-off switch. It also gave off some strange tastes and some say stainless is better than plastic that way.

I reheat coffee and heat canned goods in the hotpot as it's easier for me than the range and the wide opening on this hotpot allows one to clean it easily though the lid won't lift as far as you'd like.

On recieving this kettle my first thought was the base was of light gauge plastic seemed a little cheap. But I suppose that's ok if it turns out to be durable. Next I was amazed that the stainless vessel was of lighter gauge than I expected. This is probably all good though. Some reviewers of the other stainless kettles remark that they are heavy and get 'dangerously' hot. This one is actually reasonably light to maneuver. And if I boil 2 cups of water turning it off myself which is before the automatic shut off the stainless is just warm at the top; not really hot. If it doesn't wear out this is fine for my needs. Also it looks like the picture. I give it one star for the appearance of the polished stainless, but that is subjective. Have to admit though, it cleans good.

3 year later: Still works fine and I've fired it up every day 3-5 times. V Fine.

I have had this kettle for about a year, and have been very happy with it. However, a couple weeks ago I started having the problem that many other reviewers here have complained about, the on/off switch not staying on. Curious, I opened up the bottom of the kettle, and found the two wires going to the heating element had melted together, causing an intermittent short. I have reported this to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, and I hope that something will be done.

This has all the feature I wanted when I was looking for a electric pot to heat water for coffee. Its stainless steel so no plastic taste. Lid opens wide so its easy to fill and clean. No element inside the pot to interfere with cleaning the inside. It lifts off the base so that you can take it to the table. The large window shows the water level. This is our second one of this model. We had the first one for years until we broke it. The new one has a improved spout so that water pours out without spilling on the counter. I can't imagine someone buying any other model when this one has all the features you need for a heating water for coffee of tea..

Honest reviews on Chef'sChoice M675 International Cordless Electric Hot Pot

This is the best I have found. I tried the Cuisinart kettle but the solvents used on the plastic parts (including inside) gave the water a terrible taste and smell. Most kettles had those plastic parts inside for the auto-shut-off mechanism but not this one (it is concealed in the cover)

It is compact and does not take much room on your counter, very quick and so far nothing negative to say about it at all.

I bought this because, let's face it, Alton Brown just rocks. He recommended it "Gear for your Kitchen". I was sick of using my regular stove top teakettle it would collect grease and dirt, requiring scouring on a regular basis. It was Murphy's Law that the kettle would whistle just when I had my hands full or was busy with something else.

This electric hot pot boils water just about as fast (I tested it myself). But it doesn't whistle and shuts itself off when it reaches a boil. AB recommended this one because of the large opening, and true to his claim, you can indeed cool the perfect hard boiled egg 6-7 at a time, actually. I love that it doesn't live on the stove where it collects grease (I've wiped the outside down twice in a year). I love that it's cordless. The only "downside" is that when I make tea, I make 2 qts at a time and the capacity on this is only 1.5 qt, so it could be just slightly larger (Oh and don't try to heat milk based things in it the clean up is horrid I tried to heat up chai in it).

Winco WKCS-15 Stainless Steel Wok Cover, 15-3/8-Inch Reviews

This cover does fit the "16 inch Traditional Cast Iron Wok" by Wok Shop much better than the Lid for 16" Wok (dome lid 18 gauge) Made in USA.

The latter lid does not fit correctly it is too small.

The Winco cover comes unassembled, and the handle is secured by two screws. The handle does not heat up appreciably (I haven't noticed it), and this cover is much easier to manipulate than the lid that has only one screw in the center.

If you are wondering about the clip-like object in the photo, apparently it is a hanger loop for storing the cover on a hook on the wall. The clip is spot-welded to the cover and has not presented a problem.

enjoy...

I just used my new Scanpan 12" saute pan for the first time. I love it! Very even heating, perfectly non-stick surface, works beautifully at high temperatures. I've been disappointed in Calphalon's non-stick surface, which doesn't hold up well at all. I have a small Scanpan griddle and it has done well for a year now, so I'm hoping this saute pan holds up, too. The pan is quite heavy, especially when filled with whatever you're cooking, so I recommend getting one with the helper handle.

Simply outstanding; the best. I have been using top-end coated non-stick cast cookware since 1993, but could not afford Scanpan. I found a sale on Amazon; I can cook anything in the saute pan, using olive oil or butter for flavor as needed with heat distribution uniform at any temperature. I have recently started baking gingerbread and such in the Saute pan, with extraordinary results (I presume because of the heat distribution), and no problem with the "plastic" handle even at high heat. I am still reluctant to use a knife directly on the pan, the problem is that the pan is fine but the knife gets dull. Clean-up is so easy that it takes me longer to wash the remains of scrambled eggs from a plate than the pan.

It was easy to clean, non stick. I will purchase another one so I can have two dishes going at the same time.

I like this cooker a lot. I use my microwave more than my stove, usually using a silicone steamer dish. This item allows you to cook items that would normally explode in the microwave, such as eggs with unpierced yolks. It cooks as if it were in a regular oven, only faster, cooking the item from the outside in. It does tend to get hot, and could overheat your microwave if being used for several minutes. Best to let it cool off a bit between cooking different items in it. Follow all directions carefully for safety

Customer Ratings:

I absolutely love this set of pots. I cook all the time and I have used every piece but I do not cook several times a day or for a family so the wear and tear on these items will be less.

Pros

1) I did not want several extra pieces that I do not use; the small set was just right for me. Not paying for a bunch of useless or redundant items.

2) The straining feature to the pots is exceptional!

3) Seems to heat evenly despite not being all clad

4) Put them in the dishwasher all the time.

I am not concerned about a few marks on my pots. These will not stay pristine but I have not found the tarnishing to be excessive at all. The handles get a little hot on the stove if the range is on high (I do not like plastic handles). I am not a big fan of Teflon but it is great feature in the one pot.

Overall have not much bad to say about this can't imagine spending 3 times as much for a similar set.
