Reviews of Le Creuset Heritage Stoneware 4 1/2qt Covered Bean Pot, Flame

Customer Ratings:

WOW!! I received this as a present and I could not be happier with it. I made baked beans today that even my husband, the bean-o-phobe, loves. This pot cooks the beans evenly, so they're creamy and delicious while still firm. I was also exceptionally pleased with Amazon's customer service on this. The first pot arrived chipped and cracked as the result of poor packaging. Two days later I had a new one that was packed properly and delivered intact. Thank you, Amazon!

I agree with the other reviews on the quality, beauty etc. I will concentrate my review on the size of this pot as I had a lot of trouble deciding on size when I was making my purchase.

Le Creusets are good at many things but IMHO the biggest reason for getting one is for its ability to cook gently and slowly over a longer period of time. This lets the flavors of your dish mix together beautifully and I have found more dimensions of taste when I cook this way. It's also very good for searing meats and then slowly cooking it until it literally falls off the bone. So the reason I got a Le Creuset oven is to make stews, pasta sauces, soups, and roasts.

The 6.75 quart, oval oven fulfilled my needs perfectly and I have found this size and shape to be quite versatile. I cook for just my husband and myself, but like many people today we both work so I like to make larger portions and freeze half. This pot will fit a double or even a triple recipe for spaghetti sauces and the like. The oval shape allows a rectangular roast or whole chicken or two smaller hens to fit inside. If you're having friends over for dinner and want to make a bigger roast for 4-8 people, chili for a crowd, etc., this is the perfect size to have.

Some people had told me to get a round one if I do mostly stove top cooking, in order to have more even heat distribution from the round burner. I have found that the heat distributes very evenly on the oval shape, so I prefer the oval because it is a better shape for roasts.

Assuming you already have other pots and pans, and are looking to finally add a Le Creuset to your kitchen, IMO this is a very good size/shape to have.

Don't let the price throw you off. My mother and aunts have Le Creuset that is decades old and as another reviewer noted LOL this stuff will survive until the second coming and probably nuclear war.

This is AWESOME for a roast, whole chicken, stew, or soup. You can make a bounty of a meal and take it from stove/oven to the table. Then store the leftovers in the refrigerator. Buy it in a bright colour !

This heavy-duty pot is ideal for braising, when food must be first browned or seared on a stove top and then finished in an oven. The cast iron gets quite hot on the stove top even when low heat is applied, and it cooks uniformly in the oven. I have made a number of meals that I would not have tried without such a pot. The enamel surface cleans up easily. This is an expensive item, but it is built like a fortress and gives the user confidence that it will do a good job for many years. I strongly recommend using silicone potholders on the job, because the pot is heavy and retains heat.

I held out a long time before plunking down the cash to purchase a Le Creuset. I waited to find a model that had the potential to justify its cost. It's expensive and I haven't seen them on sale but this piece falls in the category of your favorite knife or cast iron skillet, namely, once you have it, you realize you've been compromising for years. FWIW, I'm not saving up to buy more; this one is sufficient. The oval size is optimum for browning meat and the 6.75 quart capacity is perfect for making comfort food for a family of four.

I recently purchased this incredible piece of Le Creuset cookware and, I have to say, I am very pleased and rather impressed by it. Just removing it from its package, with its heavy weight and gorgeous colour, told me that this was a quality made product. But the proof has been in the cooking..

Thus far I have made a delicious chicken and vegetable dish and cooked preserves for canning. Everything has turned out perfectly. Cleanup was easy after some soaking with warm soapy water. This is my first, but not last, piece or Le Creuset for certain!

Bought the Woll 6.3 quart pot and the 8-inch saute pan. They are okay, but I guess I like the Swiss Diamond brand better (which I also own.) I wanted a pot of this size, similar to Swiss Diamond brand. SD does not make a pot about this size. I VERY MUCH prefer the Woll lid knob over Swiss Diamond's, but the non-stick coating is superior on the SD brand. I've only used my Woll pot a few times, being VERY careful and already the coating is chipping around the rim and showing signs of scuffing/scratching on the inside bottom and outside. I use silicone utensils. I believe the rim is chipping because of the metal edge on the lid. It shouldn't. The outside shows scuff marks from the slightest thing. I had the pot sitting on the counter next to the sink and a Corelle bowl rubbed against it leaving a scuff mark. I DO NOT have this problem with my Swiss Diamond pieces. This Woll pot is very non-stick and easy to clean, but for the money, the durability is sorely lacking. I don't think I would buy Woll again. Really disappointed, guess I'll just stick with Swiss Diamond.

Cheap BUNN BXW Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $119.95

I will not bore you with all of the exact specifics of this coffee brewer. There are plenty of other reviews here on Amazon BUNN BX-B Classic 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer, Black or check the Bunn website for additional info here:

This Bunn BX-B 10-cup coffe brewer is a pricey but fantastic coffee maker for your home or small office. I bought one for my office, so that I can make myself a quick pot of coffee when I get to work or whenever someone stops by to visit my office during the day. This machine makes coffe FAST and the flavor of the coffee is always consistent. Although I have never found many of the Bunn coffee makers to be much of a fashion statement, this unit is fairly high-tech looking, with its black and stainless color combination. Since the water flows out of this unit so quickly, using a showerhead type spray pattern, I highly suggest that you always use genuine Bunn coffee filters as the store brand filters are usually not tall enough, causing the ground coffee to splash up and over the edge of the shorter filters.

One noteable difference between this and most previous pour-over Bunn models is that this unit does not require the use of a seperate water pitcher. You simply fill your coffee pot with water, lift the little door on the top/front of the unit and pour your water in. The most important step is to place the coffee pot on the warmer plate, being sure to center it properly, before lowering the door on the top of the coffee maker. As soon as you lower the door the water will start to flow quickly. If you lower the door before you place the pot underneath, you will likely end up with a bit of a mess. Also, I recommend that you insert your filter and pour in your measured amount of ground coffee before pouring water into the Bunn, because even with the door up I find that some water tends to drip from the output nozzle, causing water to drip down onto the warmer plate. I fill my pot with water, set it aside while installing my filter and ground coffee, then pour in my water, center the pot on the warmer plate and then lower the door. This has produced proper function every time, without any mess to clean up.

My likes and dislikes are as follows:

Pros:

*****

Makes a pot of coffee in only 3 minutes or less!

Consistent coffee flavor with every pot

No need to use a seperate water pitcher as with previous Bunn models

Simplistic operation that anyone can handle

Easy to clean and maintain

Pleasing black and stainless steel design

Build quality seems to be much higher than many other coffee makers

Cons:

*****

No automatic shutoff (could pose hazzard if warmer plate is left on over the weekend)

No timer feature for brewing coffee at a set time

No temperature control for the warmer plate (it gets VERY hot!)

If you don't use it for several days some of the water evaporates from the hot water tank

Must use genuine Bunn coffee filters, which are not always easy to find

Pricey for a basic coffee maker

The cons are somewhat minor but the lack of an automatic shutoff really bothers me. I ended up purchasing a seperate digital appliance timer, which I plug the Bunn coffee maker into, so that I can set power on and off times. This way I don't have to worry about leaving the warmer plate turned on over night or over the weekend. Overall I am extremely happy with my Bunn BX-B coffee brewer. It is easy to use and makes a great tasting pot of coffee in just under 3 minutes. It is also a great device for producing plain hot water. If you exclude the filter and coffee this unit produces a pot of very hot water in less time than it takes to make the normal pot of coffee. This is great for making instant coffee, hot chocolate, tea, instant oatmeal, etc. The BX-B carries a pretty hefty price tag (as all Bunn models do), but it is built well and makes excellent coffee in a flash. If you believe that time is money (as I do), then the Bunn BX-B is worth every penny for all of the time you'll save. =o)

This is not my first Bunn. The one I just replaced gave us many years of

faithful service. The reason I made this purchase is the age of the old one and an occasional strange noise. I did not want to get caught without a coffee pot. The new Bunn arrived very quickly and I am pleased

with the way it looks. However, the quality is not the same as the old

one. Also this pot sprung a leak after a few weeks of using it. I will probably have to replace this one much sooner than the last one. I will

see what else is on the market at that time.

Since I wrote this review we contacted Bunn about the leak problem. They

promptly replaced the pot with a new one. I would highly recommend dealing with the Bunn Company. We love our new pot.

Best Deals for BUNN BXW Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer

I bought this to replace an older Bunn which I loved, but was accidentally ruined by my wife. However, the new model does not heat the water hot enough. I performed several tests and the water conistently comes out at 180 degrees. This is below Bunn's stated temperature of 190. Ten degrees may not sound like much, but it makes a big difference.

I usually put a pot of coffee in a thermos after it is brewed. Since the Bunn's brewing temperature is so low, the coffee does not stay warm for very long. I believe that a good coffee maker should heat the water a little above 190 so that the coffee comes out hot.

I believe other reviewers have had the same complaint. I sure wish Bunn would go back to their old design. I think this is going to be the last Bunn I will purchase.

Honest reviews on BUNN BXW Velocity Brew 10-Cup Home Coffee Brewer

I have owned both old and new versions of the Bunn home coffee machine. I have gone through 3 of the home brewers in an office environment where they work 24 hrs. a day and are never subject to deliming or other maintenance .. other than normal washing.

At home I've owned Bunn home coffee machines for the last 20 years; I'm on my 5th one. Forget the Mr. Coffee and those digital-timer wonders that are ok, but just don't work that well.

I have noticed quality control issues with the newer models that are a little disturbing .. I don't like the straight design of the new coffee decanter ... the old onion-dome classic is what I really liked because the decanter just worked better .. balance with a full pot in hand, no spilling or sloushing problems .. and yes, it goes naturally back where it is supposed to go .. wish Bunn would get this right again and just give us the retro-classic machine!

Secondly, my older machines all lasted longer than the newer models .. which have problems with the lighted switch sometimes going out .. and the older machine was just better built .. even the switches (a very simple design) was superior to the cheap switches they now use .. and replacement is expensive for what you get.

Nothwithstanding these problems the Bunn home brewer makes excellent coffee and does it fast .. wish they'd get control of the quality issues and make replacement parts less expensive .. I recently lost that little sprayhead .. probably a 30 cent part that costs you $7 for shipping alone, c'mon Bunn .. as much as these machines go for new .. you should just give these away.

PS: the old decanter was much better .. I don't like the new decanter and don't care that it is made from Schott glass .. it feels too thin; and more importantly the styling is terrible.

I don't normally review a item after owning it just over a week, but today I decided I should review the Bunn BX. Like I said, I have only owned it just over a week. No problems setting it up, just follow the instructions. It has made good coffee from day one. I love getting it ready to brew and then going out to get the paper. It's ready before I can get out the door. With my old brewer, I still was waiting after I started reading the paper.

This morning put the icing on the cake for me. I had just put coffee in the basket when the electric went out. I thought No coffee. There was a cup left from yesterday, maybe I could heat it in the microwave, but could not even do that. Then it hit me, there was heated water in the tank. All I need to do was pour the cold water in to push that hot water out. So five minutes into a power outage, I was brewing a nice hot "5 star" cup of coffee. I would think one could brew coffee even a half hour into a power outage.

The only down side to the Bunn is that it is not a 12 cup. But I can put up with that after this morning.

Review of Bookshelf Rack in Hammered Steel w Chrome

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $108.21
Sale Price: $75.75
Today's Bonus: 30% Off

As you can see by the other reviews, this is a great pot rack. However I have some very useful information if you want to purchase it. The rack was well designed and the mounts were spaced properly so that you screw the pot rack directly into the studs.

There is a major flaw...the screws that they provide are only 1 1/4 inches long. My kitchen has 3/4 inches of plaster before you hit a stud and the rack is about an 1/8 of an inch wide. That means the screws only bite into the stud a total of 3/8 of an inch. The result...during installation the pot rack ripped itself out of the wall. So I found a better way to mount it.

My solution cost an extra $1.77. I went to Home Depot and I bought five 1/4 by 2 inch lag screws and five 1/4 inch washers. I had previously measured and marked the three mounts on the main unit prior to installation. I then predrilled the holes with a 3/16 inch drill bit. Predrilling is very important, you don't want to split the stud when putting the lag screws in. And of course check your measurements so you don't miss the studs or put in any extra holes in your wall.

Next put the washers on the lag screws and use a ratchet to screw them in place. Once the main portion of the rack was in place I installed the 2 supports, predrilled each hole, and installed the remaining lag screws.

This pot rack is easily 10 times stronger than it would have been with the original hardware. I would hang cast iron cookware off of it without hesitation. It looks great in the kitchen and is ultra stable. I highly recommend the pot rack so long as you replace the original mounting hardware.

Like everyone else, I love this rack. One of the benefits of this wall mounted rack, as opposed to a rack suspended from the ceiling, is that you can hang and remove pots without worrying about unbalancing the rack and having things slide around or fall off. The downside is that this rack may be a bit more work to attach. My building is quite old and the wall studs weren't spaced 16 inches apart, as this rack requires. If you search the web for "how to hang a pot rack" you'll get all the extra info you need to deal with this and other problems not covered by the very brief instruction sheet.

We don't have an island or anywhere else in the kitchen where we can hang a ceiling-mounted pot rack, so this wall-mounted rack was the perfect solution for us.

Mounting was easy, but as other reviews stated, I used my own hardware. I had some longer deck screws that I knew would grab hold of the studs better. With those, I could do chin-ups from this thing now.

It fits all the pots and pans from the new set I just bought my wife for Christmas, and it looks great. This rack is an excellent value.

I searched high and low to find the right white lace vinyl tablecloth. This was the best one I found, and I have not been disappointed. Most of the other ones I saw had actual holes in the openwork lace cutout areas, which seemed to me to defeat the purpose of having a vinyl one (I needed a solid vinyl cloth to protect my antique table from my kids' spills). And the solid, thick, flannel-backed vinyl ones available everywhere were all too small for my long dining table and too bright and casual for my formal, traditional dining room (I don't have an eat-in kitchen to feed my small children on so I must use the "nice" dining room all the time and I didn't want to have to wash a fabric tablecloth every single day). I finally found this one, which has clear vinyl backing over the cutout areas of the lace pattern. I do wish it could have been thicker, like the flannel-backed vinyl tablecloths that were too small and informal for me, but then I realize it could not have the open-look lace style, so I guess those don't exist. The only way to get a vinyl lace one is for it to be relatively thin, with no flannel backing, but this one seems quite sturdy, and has stood up to daily use and wiping so far. (Reviews about some similar ones I had considered said they were too thin, almost like the disposable party-store tablecovers, and ripped after the first use! This one seems much better.) Be careful about oily or greasy food, though, because there appears to be a grease stain that won't wipe up, but it isn't too noticeable. The fold marks never completely go away, but I'm used to seeing fold marks on cloth tablecloths too so it isn't a big deal to me. It IS kind of thin with a slightly sheer look when the sun shines in, so you will see a bit of the brown of the wooden table underneath it (probably like you would if it were delicate real fabric lace too). I tried it with a plain white cheap fabric tablecloth underneath and it gives a completely different look the solid part of the white is a more solid and brighter white, the openwork lace pattern much less noticeable because white shows through the clear-vinyl-backed openings, not dark brown table. So that is an option, too, if the thinness bothers you. This cloth protects my table well from food, moisture and spills, but I don't imagine it will protect it from scratches (we have a cat) or heat, so I might keep the white cotton one underneath for long-term use (still easy-care because I can just wipe the top vinyl one clean). Overall I am pleased, but I would have been super-pleased if I could have found a thicker, flannel-backed white or off-white vinyl tablecloth that was long enough and elegant enough for a formal dining room. But those don't seem to exist! Also, customer service was superb quick response to my questions about the product and fast shipping. The customer service wasn't Amazon directly, it was the company who sold the tablecloth via Amazon.com, but I don't know the name offhand.

First of all, it is a solid product and it came in a timely manner and excellent condition. However, judging from the picture, I was expecting a sheet that would be flat up to edge of the long sides. It is not. The sheet is elevated along the long edges. The elevation is slight but still: I am loosing about 1 inch of baking surface for baking cookies that need to be flat. And actually that was the primary reason why I bought this sheet: to have larger baking surface. On the other hand, this sheet is still larger than my ordinary sheets so I decided to keep it.

I was looking for a large oven-safe stainless steel skillet and ended up choosing this pan. Functionally the encapsulated aluminum-disk base seems to give good even heating. The polished finish on the pan is very good. I was surprised by the poor quality on the cast stainless steel handle. The polishing job done on the handle is very poor, which because of its shape has to be done by hand. The hang hole in the handle is uneven/jagged and looks cut by hand. Inside of the hole it's unpolished w/ black marks (which are from the casting) and there are other dings and blemishes in the handle.

The poor quality of the handle makes me question the quality of the skillet as a whole and I'm concerned about how long this skillet will last me. That being said the actual pan portion of the skillet seems to be well made and hopefully will hold up.

Buy Calphalon Stainless Utensils Skimmer

Customer Ratings:

I do a lot of baking and have always had difficulty getting a nice, thin layer of flour on the surface if I needed to roll dough out or shape bread. When I saw the Calphalon Stainless Skimmer with its lifetime warranty I thought it might work for my purposes. What a wonderful find! I can put some flour onto the top of the skimmer and then gently tap its edge. The result is an even, light dusting of flour on my work surface and a lot less mess than using other methods.

Further, when I am done working on the surface I can use a scraper to gather up the excess flour. Then I put it on the skimmer again and gently sift out any dough scraps so that I can reuse the dusting flour when I need to flour another work surface. Although some may balk at my recycling flour, when the price got so high several years ago, I decided it wasn't economical to throw out the remaining dusting flour.

I also found this skimmer ideal for turning bagels during the boiling process. When both sides have gone through that process, I use this skimmer to remove them to the baking sheet. Because it is a fine mesh, the water drains completely and there is a lot less mess.

The Calphalon Stainless Skimmer is a well made, sturdy item that should last for many years. The edge finish is smooth, the mesh seems to have no loose ends, and the rubberized grip prevents the skimmer from slipping when my hand is wet or greasy. Although this fine utensil works very well for skimming soups, broths, and sauces, I urge you not to limit its functions to only those areas. You will find this is a great multi-purpose kitchen tool and well worth adding to your collection.

If you make your own stocks, or home made soups, this item will save you time. Makes skimming stocks a breeze. The product is well made, the rubberized handle is great for tapping on the edge of the pot to get the liquid to pass though so it doesn't end up on the floor as you make your way to the sink. Should last for years and years with proper care.

Honest reviews on Calphalon Stainless Utensils Skimmer

The skimmer works splendidly, lifting foam and even fat off of simmered liquids with its fine screen. I was hoping it would last indefinitely. I would give it five stars if the welds holding the handle to the screen mounting hadn't broken after three years (I tapped it on the side of the sink and the ring holding the mesh simply fell off). I would give it three stars if I weren't going to replace it with the same model.

It's the right size (about 3.5 inches) and is highly functional as skimmer and fine-mesh strainer. It has the second-finest mesh in my kitchen, being slightly finer than a single layer of cheesecloth. The handle is comfortable, if bulky (taking up room in the canister I use to store it). The handle's rubber grips your hand and also every other handle in the canister on my kitchen counter where I store it (a slight downside). If you store it in a drawer, that would be no problem. I want faster access to it. The angle between the handle and the screen is just right. Shame I have to buy it again, but I am buying it again.

This skimmer is very well made, as are all the Calphalon products that I have purchased. It is a bit larger than I actually wanted,(the business end is about the size of a man's palm) but it works very well. I make home-made soups and stocks and need it often for the scum that first surfaces at the boil. Very reasonable price for such a well made tool.
