This is such a nice tea pot. I did not know it was electric, however, I absolutely love it. The water heats up very quickly. The pot goes on top of the heating element, so you can remove the pot when the water is hot a bring it wherever you want without having to take the cord along.

This kettle looks great and heats water very quickly. The only down side is that there is no insulation and the outside of the kettles gets pretty hot.

Honest reviews on Kalorik Pyramid-Shaped Jug Kettle, Red

Picture shows a deep, matte, brushed red. Actual product looks like a cheap, shiny, scratchable, light red plastic (though it is stainless steel).

Picture shows no logo when kettle is viewed from shown angle. Actual product has Kalorik logo from same angle and another Kalorik label when kettle is rotated clockwise 180 degrees.

Picture shows no "hot" symbol. Actual product has triangular "hot" symbol.

Other comments:

Exposed metal portion of handle is scratched and rusted.

Everything else is as depicted.

Bottom line:

Dissatisfied with misleading, photoshopped photo and cheap quality. In utter disbelief at how cheap this looks and feels. Returned.

Gorham Melon Bud 5-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Place Setting, Service for 1 I have owned this flatware for several years now and I am very disappointed in it. I have 14 place settings and all the serving pieces so I am heavily invested in this set. I liked the fact that it was a versatile style with a good weight, it was comfortable in the hand and it offered a large assortment of serving pieces. However, this set does not hold up well in the dishwasher. You must hand wash and dry this set to keep it looking it's best. Even with hand washing and drying, I still get occasional rust spots and tarnishing and I must polish the pieces every several months or so. For the price paid, this flatware requires much too much care. If you don't want to baby your flatware, look elsewhere.

We've been using this flatware for six years now since we married in 2005. All the pieces look in tip top condition. I also had issues with spots and rust on the blade of the knives. It would come off with a little Dawn and the scrubbing sponge. I've since learned that most all knives use a different metal combination for the blade as compared to the handle. They key to not having spots or rust to remove is to wipe off any oils like butter or mayo before putting it in the dishwasher. Once I began doing that the issue stopped. We run our dishwasher every three days on average as it's just me and my husband.

We've owned our Melon Bud set since our wedding in 1987 and the set has stood the test of time. The set, of course, has the expected wear of 23 years of daily use, but we've observed absolutely no need for special care, i.e. polishing, rust removal etc. Our set has been run through various quality dishwashers in towns with the some of the hardest water around, and have observed no stains or build-up, as would be expected from stainless steel. We find the set is well made. Each piece is well balanced and the right weight, i.e. not too light and not too heavy. The rounded edges are far more comfortable than more modern looking squared edges. All in all, we've been extremely satisfied with this set, and as time has progressed, we've always chosen to replace the lost pieces over the years, rather than move on to something new.

Honest reviews on Gorham Melon Bud 5-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Place Setting

I have owned a service for 12 plus serving pieces and iced teaspoons in this pattern since my wedding in December 1986 and I have been very happy with the quality, style and durability of this product. In fact, I am online now looking to add more 5-piece place settings to my collection. These pieces have held up very well for me for the past 21 years, which is why I am choosing to add to my service rather than purchase an entirely different pattern. I have never had to do anything special to my flatware...I wash it in the dishwasher every day. I highly recommend this product.

The reason I gave this five stars is the construction of this skillet beats some of my higher end cookware. For one thing this works perfectly on my glass top stove and evenly distributes heat. I tried a 'bargain' model and gave that away because it had hot and cold spots in the construction. Not so this one.

Another feature I love is this is oven safe (up to 350 degrees F). I use it to make frittata and tortilla de patatas and the non-stick ceramic lets me practically eliminate oil.

The ceramic is real porcelain, and interestingly the handle is steel, which inhibits the transfer of heat from the aluminum body. There is also a silicone coating for gripping.

Instructions claim that this is also safe for electric and gas stoves and is dishwasher safe. It's also very easy to clean by hand because the ceramic is truly non-stick. My big test was to make tortilla de patatas with only a light run of olive oil over the interior of the pan. Nothing stuck to the surface, so serving was easy and clean-up a breeze.

Reviews of Mauviel M'steel Round Carbon Steel Fry Pan

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $60.00
Sale Price: $49.95
Today's Bonus: 17% Off

I bought the Mauviel M'steel Frying Pan in the 8 inch and 9.5 inch this Christmas to replace some Calphalon Non Stick pans that were wearing out. Real Simple magazine had a review on this brand and indicated they were a great buy/great find.

They arrived very well packed, and had a layer of wax on them to protect them as well. It was a bit daunting to get the wax off, and took a bit of time to cure them--we did the process (peanut oil and high heat) two times, and then were very careful when cooking with them for a few times after.

The effort was well worth it! The pans are the perfect sizes for just an egg (8 inch) or eggs or an omelette or potatoes (9.5 inch) and they are completely non stick now. The handle feels substantial and very comfortable (I have small hands, my honey has big hands and we both like the handle equally). My honey says that eggs taste better in these pans than any pan he has cooked with in many years--and he is a wonderful cook with lots of experience!

We do not use soap, and we wash out the pans by hand, dry them and hang from our pot rack in the kitchen which protects them from bumping into other pots and pans.

We have used the pans almost every day since Christmas--10 to 12 times each at least.

I really like the way they look too. Very utilitarian looking, they make a statement about how serious we are about cooking and preparing tasty meals. The old adage "use the right tool for the right job" applies here--these are definitely the right tools for this "cook a lot couple"!

We are extremely happy with these pans, and expect that they will serve us well for many years to come.

UPDATE: It has now been several months and if it is possible to be even happier with these pans, well we are! Food just slides off them, nothing ever sticks, it's a breeze to cook anything and everything tastes better cooked in them--I don't understand how that can be, but it is! We cooked a cheese quesadilla recently with a little olive oil--wow--it browned up each side of the tortilla beautifully--melted the cheese perfectly--so the food was visually attractive and tasted great! We occasionally add more oil to the bottom of it, turn on the burner briefly, and then wipe it out. The pans have developed a beautiful patina--handles are still sturdy and I expect these pans to last a good long time.

I didn't buy this product from Amazon, but from another seller. However, I did feel compelled to review it here. Contrary to the other review, the process for seasoning this pan was quite simple. The key is to follow the directions on the card that is attached to the pan. The pan is coated with beeswax, so it must be removed. Beeswax melts at about 145 degrees so if your tap does not allow the water to get that high, it is best to do what I did: boil some water on the stove, drain it into your stopped kitchen sink, let it soak for about 5 min, pull it out, and wipe it off. Be careful though because the pan will be boiling hot. After that, put peanut oil in the pan, wipe it on the sides a little, heat it to about 400 degrees, let it cool, wipe it out with a paper towel. Repeat the oiling, heating, cooling, and wiping one more time, and then the pan is ready to go.

As I said above, this pan gets hot quickly. It's made of carbon steel like a wok, and is designed to get hot quickly for great sears. This pan has performed beyond my expectations when I have used it, and it keeps getting better non-stick properties as I have used it; just like an iron skillet does. I can understand why some restaurants use these pans. They are really good.

Honest reviews on Mauviel M'steel Round Carbon Steel Fry Pan

This is my first purchase of cookware that's required seasoning. I've always found it intimidating, but I'm glad I went for it. On a side note, I've not had the pan for very long and I usually cook with a small bit of oil or butter depending, however fried eggs have been a breeze and I imagine fish or anything else will not stick to the pan either. I believe the non-stick performance will even improve as it continues to darken. Seasoning was really easy, but removing the beeswax coating was a bit of a pain. I'm so happy with my purchase as I can see this beautiful pan lasting a lifetime if cared for properly (no soap/detergent when cleaning and important to dry it well). I'm already considering buying more from Mauviel. The pan is packaged in a beautiful brown bag and it's really like a piece of art it's so well crafted.

I've had one of these in blue for several years, and bought a couple more as a little gifts for family members, to match each recipient's KA mixer color.

It's fun to have gadgets in bright, matching colors, but the real value of this particular spatula is its shape. The rounded side matches the curve of the stainless bowl that comes with the mixer. That makes it much easier to scrape efficiently. It's a small thing, but it does make a difference.

We originally bought these to serve ceviche at a party. It was perfect because it kept each serving chilled (very important when you serve fish), and the presentation was impressive with the modern design of the glasses. Of course, it's also great for martinis!

We had issues with the first shipment, as the glasses are fragile and 2 broke, but the seller replaced them promptly. Two more of that shipment broke as well, but we called it even, as we had 4 between the 2 shipments that were entact.

This pan is made of thin aluminum that can get easily bent. While it is coated, it isn't actually very non-stick (I don't expect most things to be non-stick anyway, but it's good to note).

Best Cuisinart 630-30 Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Deals

Customer Ratings:

I love this pan! As someone who truly enjoys cooking, I have several types of 'skillets;' cast iron, non stick annodized, and enameled cast iron. Each has its particular talents in the kitchen.

I wanted a grill pan. After doing some research, I decided on this Cuisinart for two reasons: reputation and weight. I was also lucky to find it at a time when special pricing was featured.

The weight issue is important for me as I have lung disease that fatigues me rather quickly. This pan is managable! But of course, the object of buying it was grilling. I have done steaks, chicken, pork and salmon in this pan, and it conducts heat beautifully. The initial sear is exquisite. It is the grill pan for which I was hoping, and I could not be more pleased.

My main reason for purchasing a grill pan was for things like tuna steak and grilled vegetables. I don't eat greasy foods, so I'm not so concerned about draining off fat, but more interested in dry-cooking and blackening. Although a big, heavy cast iron pan is best for this purpose, I didn't want to lift anything that heavy all the time.

This pan really works well for what I need. So well that I find I use it for EVERYTHING, EVERY DAY, not just for grilling! It has replaced my other non-stick fry pans for all purposes.

Pros: Incredible cleanup--much better than my Calphalon non-stick pans. Handle is longer and does not get as hot as Calphalon, so you can actually pick it up without a potholder. Pan is very light, considering its size--it's HUGE!(see cons).

Cons: It's light in weight. If you are looking for something heavy this is not it--get a cast iron. For me, this is a plus. Also, I wish I had looked further and gotten the 10-inch. I have an electric stove and my burners are not big enough for the 12-inch pan. I still use it but move it off the burner a little. I recommend the 10-inch to get better use of the heat if you have electric.

Bottom line: I would buy this pan again, but probably the 10-inch.

I've only used this pan a handful of times maybe less than 10 times for steaks and burgers. The nonstick part of one side of the pan is already partially showing the metal part of the pan. It's the outer part of the pan that's coming off which I don't scrub hard when I'm cleaning it. I would even normally soak my pans for a few hours to ease up the cleaning. I would expect the center part to come off if anything from the scrubbing. I just use a regular sponge pad that's normally used for dishes. I must have gotten a defective one.

I'm already beyond amazon's return policy so my only option is to return it to cuisinart. I called cuisinart and they said that I have to ship this pan to them so they can look at the item. I also have to send a $7 check for shipping costs to mail the replacement item if they think it's a manufacturer's defect. Otherwise they'll just return the old pan. I don't know if I want to waste any more time and money with this pan.

Best Deals for Farberware Classic Stainless Steel 1-1/2-Quart Open Sauce Pan

We have other stainless steel Farberware pots and pans and were in need of a new 1 1/2 quart (which any 1 1/2 quart is practically to impossible to find). Being it was listed as a Classic Farberware product we figured it would be like our other older ones, which are 100% stainless. Much to our dismay, this Farberware Classic was anything but. It was Stainless plated and not true stainless steel. You can test stainless with a magnet, as it will not stick to stainless steel. We should have been skeptical because of the low price but we took the chance. The pot was pretty heavy duty just the same, and for the price I guess it was worth the cost. Therefore we did not return it, but do not expect it to outlast and hold up as real stainless steel would. All in all, we are happy to have another 1 1/2 quart pot. As we stated, it is heavy weight and will do the trick, but we will continue to search for the real deal and one that is not tapered at the bottom, (longer to heat as the bottom surface is not dimensional to the rim. Like everything now days, you get what you pay for, and maybe the cost of making a 100% stainless pot is too high for the manufacture to make large enough profit. However they should have stated that it was plated in the description. Now you know!

Honest reviews on Farberware Classic Stainless Steel 1-1/2-Quart Open Sauce Pan

I bought this pan trusting good reviews, however I am very disappointed.

Pros:

pan is really cheap

you can boil an egg in this pan (the clean up would be easy after that one. Maybe)

Cons:

rounded bottom edges should be perfect for whisking sauces and custards, but it seems that only the bottom has an aluminium core, so the sides are not heated through. As a result your sauce will not be heated evenly. I contacted producer to check this, they did mot respond.

it is impossible to clean. Neither dishwasher nor bar keepers friend could remove the stains the pan seems to create out of any substance which gets into it (milk, soup for reheating, pretty much anything else, than again see pros). I have other stainless steel pots, sadly those are expensive, they clean up just fine.

material is thin and flimsy

plastic handle warms up and smells like, well burnt plastic, even when I use medium heat.

Overall, even considering the price, I regret this purchase.
