This is a cool scale, with a retro/antique look. I don't think it looks cheap. It is actually a lot larger than I thought it would be, though, so make sure you have room on your counter. Removable tray is nice because you can put wet messy items directly on the scale and then just rinse off. You can adjust the calibration manually to zero, if you want to use another type of dish on the scale. I'm happy with my purchase.

Overall I like the look and performance of the scale. The bowl is large and it easy to read all measured weights. The only complaint is the cheesy plastic-plexi-glass face and the stainless steel constuction is somewhat light weight. I would pay more for a heavier construction. The scale is made in China.

Pelouze® you LOSE: The Polder® is a G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. 11-LB. SCALE with a big 'n beautiful face that for once you can actually read without a magnifying glass!! When I read others' comments about the metal being "light weight" I about gagged what, you want to use it for armored transport? A suspension bridge perhaps? What are you weighing, a tuna? Getouttahere!! This contender is solid state and it enters the ring at about the weight of what a double pack of ground beef (+ one more slab) would be, if that's any help. `Heavy' is a term of art, but the one thing this scale is _not_ is light or puny. It's adjustable, with a lovely removable stainless steel bowl for which its 4 positioning prongs actually help to "grip" parcels when you're not using the bowl. The prongs make it thoughtfully adaptable to using other bowls, too.

I bought it for use in my business. That's right. I often have to weigh parcels exceeding 5 lbs., and I'm just sick of Pelouze® ripping off the business community with their midget, hard-to-read, overpriced scales with a weighing surface the size of a playing card. And how brilliant for Polder® to make it 11 lbs. instead of 10! Most delivery pricing has a cut-off at exactly 10 lbs., so this way you can tell when you're _over_ 10 lbs., and by how much. I bought mine on a Gold Box offer and my only regret is that I didn't buy two so I could have a second one for my kitchen. Weigh 2 go Amazon[.com]!

Honest reviews on Polder 11-Pound Stainless-Steel Kitchen Scale

My wife and I have a market garden and use this scale to weigh out equal portions of produce as we prepare for the farmers' market. It gets alot of hard use, and has always been dependable even with freshly washed vegetables. We just ordered another to help make our operation more efficient. We have also used the scale to weigh items we sell on Ebay and have always been able to give accurate Priority Mail quotes to the high bidders.

I have no complaints at all about this scale. Its size is perfect-just right to fit on the corner of my counter. It is easy to zero out and the bowl is large enough for most of my kitchen needs. I use it frequently for ebay shipping and it's very accurate.

One of the other reviewers mentioned that it's lightweight-this is true and I can see why they would have an issue with it if they're going for that retro feel, it looks like it would be heavier than it is. However, I think making it actually heavier would be more of an inconvenience than anything else, since its current design is nicely portable.

All in all, two thumbs up.

I purchased this a while back (summer I believe) but I finally pulled it out last week to bake cookies. We use the actual Silpat brand baking mats at school (I attend Sullivan University's Culinary Arts Program) and there is NO DIFFERENCE!!! They keep my cookies from sticking, they brown evenly, and cleanup is a breeze!! I just purchased a second so I can have two pans going in my oven at the same time!! I can't wait to purchase the 9" rounds for cakes!

UPDATE!!

While researching, I just realized that Sil-Eco is a division of SILPAT!!! It looks like Silpat is in stores while Sil-Eco is exclusively for Amazon.com and Kitchen Collection (at a fraction of the cost!!!)! How cool is that!! So no wonder there's no difference between the two!! I'm so happy right now!!!

I was wondering what the difference was between these and the Silpats that my friends use--as it turns out, only the price! These work great--I've used them multiple times for all sorts of breads--profiteroles, challah, scones (not cookies--I don't bake them that much, although I can't see how these wouldn't work for them)--and I've never had a problem with them. I just rinse them in some soapy water, and if there's some extra grease/flour on there, I wipe it gently with a moistened towel, and it's as good as new. It's also worth noting that whereas for many cookie sheets you have to wait for the sheet to cool before baking another batch (say, if you're making a bunch of cookies), these sheets are very quick-cooling, cutting down on a lot of cooling time.

To be honest, I was surprised to find such a great product at a fraction of the price of the Silpats. I didn't realize these were made in China, as one reviewer points out, but that didn't necessarily matter to me. It might to you, and you should know that they are. That said, I feel I can definitely recommend these, especially for people who are tired of buying roll after roll of parchment paper. I should say, I haven't exactly gotten rid of the parchment paper just yet--it's good for lining the bottoms of cake and bread tins. But these are exactly what's needed when you're baking either free-form breads, or quick-breads.

It boils water quickly and efficiently. Easy to clean. I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 because I don't like that the heating coils are inside the kettle itself. I wish it were inside of the base instead of exposed to the water. I've only used it a few times so far. When the weather gets colder, it will probably get daily use.

Additional information:

After using it many times now, I realize that the smallest amount of water it boils is 0.5 L (about 1.5 cups). This wouldn't be a problem if the kettle kept the water hot, but the water in the kettle cools down fairly quickly, so by the time I'm ready to top off my teacup with the rest of the heated water, it has cooled considerably. I cannot heat up the 1/2 cup of water because it is below the minimum amount recommended for boiling water. While not a deal breaker, it is a bit of an annoyance.

Cheap Paderno World Cuisine .5 Inch Baker's Blade

Customer Ratings:

I have been baking professionally for five years and although these sorts of lames may be useful for someone who wants to experiment with a loaf of bread a night for one week and then never bake again, one blade does not last half a shift in front of my oven before getting dull. A much better solution is to buy a package of double-sided razor-blades. We use Dorco brand which are 12 dollars for a hundred on amazon, although I'm pretty sure all brands are identical. They can be very easily fitted onto just about any rigid stick, such as a popsicle stick cut in half length-wise. Just thread the stick through the two larger holes in the middle of the razor blade so that it forms a convenient curve between them. Voila!

Several years ago when I began baking artisan breads, I purchased one of these baker's blades. I fell into the novice baker's trap and purchased almost every item the professionals recommended in their books. This is one of the few that I wish I had not.

As a number of other reviewers have said, I would have been better off saving the money and purchasing packs of double-edged razor blades. Not only is this item cheaply made, but the blade I received was not particularly sharp. Even with a light touch, the cutting edge drags and I rarely get a nice, clean cut. Occasionally, I do manage to get a clean cut which is the only reason I gave this product two stars.

I definitely do not recommend purchasing this baker's blade. Even if it goes on sale or is offered as a 4 for 3 item, it isn't worth adding to your Amazon shopping cart.

This is a very cheaply made gizmo the size and quality of a plastic fork you'd find at a fast-food restaurant.

It's got a double-edged razor blade in it with a little cover, just like the photo.

If I wasn't crazy for the idea of having one for my bread-making, I'd send it back.

It looks like it might have cost about 10 cents to make .. good business for the seller .. a ripoff for those of us foolish enough to think we need one.

You'll be better off with a good sharp knife (like a Kuhn-Rikon paring knife) which you can use for other purposes as well as scoring your bread.

Honest reviews on Paderno World Cuisine .5 Inch Baker's Blade

I have tried everything for slashing my artisan loaves...including but not limited to: double edged razor blades (hand held with care!), a double edged razor blade held on a coffee stirrer, a sharp serrated knife, a sharp straight edge knife, an exacto blade (various types), and even scissors (for boules). I read the lack luster reviews, but decided to go ahead and give it try. I have made many unsatisfactory purchases that have cost me much more, so I didn't figure I had too much to lose. I am glad I gave it a shot. Yes, it probably cost the manufacturer ten cents to make. No, the blade is not replaceable. BUT...the blade is curved on the end, which gives you the ability to slash the loaves without having to work around the blunt end of a razor blade. A lot more control than a flimsy coffee stirrer. I usually have to let the loaves dry out a bit before slashing to get any kind of "ear", but this sliced through my wet loaves with ease and precision! The loaves were absolutely beautiful, with no learning curve (pardon my pun!). I agree that if you are looking for a straight cut, this is probably not the tool you will want to use, but for baguettes and other curved slashing, it worked like a charm. I would have saved myself many years of aggravation if I had invested $10 in this product long ago...

The blade is not replaceable. So what? Let's face it, a blade is not going to get a lot of wear and tear slicing through wet dough. I produce about 75 pounds of artisan bread per week in a commercial venue. I figure this will last a good 6 months, and for the average home baker it should last a year or two. If you keep it clean, keep it dry, and keep the cover on it you should be good to go for a long time. Of course it may fall apart in a month, in which case I will be back to revise my review. But for now I am pleased. I couldn't even buy three lattes for the amount this item costs...I give it a thumbs up!

This item is good for baguettes; but for round, rectangular,

or oval loaves, a straight blade should be used. The curved blade will

have your cuts curving instead of going straight.

I don't want to give even 1 star, but had no option.

I already had a Dhokla stand which the plate has to get into the grove of 4 stainless steel piece that protrudes from the stand. I totally hated the mechanism. Seeing this stand in amazon, I was so excited with the stand given for this Dhokla plate as the plate may just slide into the stand. So I immediately ordered it and I was eagerly waiting for it. But I was so disappointed seeing the same one what I had. The package was totally broken. The Dhokla stand looked completely different from the picture they had posted. Totally a fake product. Now I want to return it & they want me to pay for the return cost, which is totally unfair. I don't know how Amazon is supporting such vendors.

Vinaroz Die Cast Aluminum wok with Ceramic Coating 30-Cm Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $54.95

Today's Bonus: 62% Off

I previously got pretty excited about a smaller piece of ceramic cookware from another maker and gave it a 5 star review after using it only a few times. If I had waited a bit, I would have downgraded it to 4 stars because it did show some signs of wear after a relatively short period of use, although the flaws in the finish did not have any discernible effect on the functionality of the pan. In any case, I decided to wait before reviewing this Vinaroz product and I'm very happy to report that after intensive use it still looks brand new and there are no blemishes of any kind in the finish, contrary to the experience of another reviewer who only gave it 4 stars. [I use a relatively soft bamboo spatula to stir the food with.] And while on the subject of other reviewers, I am in agreement with the reviewer who wrote that there was no need to season the pan as opposed to the reviewer who said that one must always season ceramic cookware. I did not season my wok and it works perfectly, almost magically. I'm very enthusiastic about this pan and will be giving them for Christmas presents. The low price and superb functionality is a great combination.

I got this pretty quickly after I ordered it, and it works great. It's simple to clean, great for frying, and is all-around amazing. At least, the first few times I used it.

However, the particular wok I received had several flaws in the ceramic on the bottom. After I burnt some rice in the bottom, I noticed it had settled into some cracks and grooves and stained the bottom. There were also several flaws in the chrome finish when I received it. It's still beautiful and functional, but I worry about how well it will hold up in the future with these little mistakes. Had it arrived in perfect condition, I'd be far less wary.

As it's ceramic, you shouldn't use any metal utensils in it to avoid scratching the finish. I've been using bamboo exclusively since I received it.

I own a restaurant so I have experience with many types of cookware. I got this because I needed a new wok for personal use, and the ceramic coating was interesting. The cheap price made me pause but I got it anyway. Fast delivery. I've used it for three, four months on average twice a week or less. What I do like: The non-stick surface is pretty good, not as good as professional Teflon, but OK. Cheap. Heats up fast. Nice grippy handle. Works like a wok.

What I don't like. The white cooking surface. Everything shows. Makes it look unsanitary. Definitely have to use cooking oil, esp if eggs are involved. Every little brown, black, yellow bit shows up. Worst of all, the coating is not durable. I don't wash mine promptly after each use so it may sit on the counter, or in the sink for a while, but I never pile dishes in it, and have only used plastic to stir. STILL mine has many many scratches and a few dings. The white surface is discoloring too. All this after not much use.

Summary: I like it, BUT the lack of durability is a deal breaker and I would not recommend this brand. I think I will try a more expensive ceramic coated wok.

So far so good.

We love this pot but were a bit surprised by the size when we unpacked it. If you read the description it states it's 18" and this is just baffling. With the handle it's about 20". Without it's about 12". That makes for a pretty small wok so don't plan on cooking for 6 or maybe even 4 in this pan.

Despite the small size it's really nice. The aluminum construction makes it feather light and the ceramic coating is really great. Nothing sticks. We don't cook with oil if we can help it, maybe use a shot of Pam and this wok is excellent for that kind of cooking.

Highly recommended. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is we've only owned it 2 days and can't speak for its durability yet.

I sometimes wonder if these reviews are all about the same item. This serrated knife is great. It isnt like it was $100 so while you cant expect $100 value in a $9 knife, I think it is worth 3x the price. I love serrated knives for some reason. I read some reviews and saw someone say they could cut veges thin with it. I have to think she was using a different product because I have zero problem cutting things to a transparent thickness. I actually love it for cheese. I also love it for meats. I hate those little steak knives that come with the sets. At least this one feels like you have something in your hand and it gives you great leverege or however you spell that word. I use it for everything from cutting a tomato to cutting rolls and meats and cheeses. I actually liked it so much that I just bought more of them. I dont see how the tip breaks off like a couple people said. I do clean mine by hand and dont put it in the dishwasher but I dont see how that should matter. I never had a very expensive serrated knife and now I dont see why I would ever need one. I would just as soon buy another one for the lousy $9 if something happened to the ones I have. These reviews make it so tough to rely on as I am looking for something in a different area and things have 300 5 star reviews and than 10 people give the product 1 star and it throws off your thinking. It makes it very tough to buy things based on reviews. Not many things have all 5 star reviews, if any. So when every product has both 5 star and 1 star reviews, you have to wonder if they are talking about the same product. Not counting the broken out of the box problems because I suppose that can happen. Oh well! I think this knife is fabulous especially for the price

It's hard to go wrong with any Henckels knife. That said, I read other reviews and thought that this knife would be an improvement for cutting vegetables for my salads. Wrong. The serrated blade tends to shred mushrooms rather than cut them thinly, and my tomatoes, also fairly soft, get mushy in the cutting. So, for softer items, this knife loses a star with me. On the other hand, it slices firmer items just fine, such as bread, sandwiches, meats, onions and celery and semi-ripe avocados. Again, though, I had no luck slicing anything thinly with this knife. Here is information from the tag which is helpful: (1) micro-serrated edge; (2) heavy weight stamped; (3) triple riveted handles with stainless rivets; (4) fully visible tang construction; (5) breakproof, dishwasher safe (handwashing recommended); (6) made in Thailand; (7) contour black polypropylene handle and (8) fully guaranteed against defects in material and/or craftsmanship. The label also includes a website if you have other questions. I like the weight of the knife in general, and the handle is substantial, balanced and easy on my hand.

In the event that there are any material problems with the knife, I know from personal experience that Henckels has a terrific guarantee. I recently contacted them about a paring knife that was over 25 years old with a bent blade. I mailed the knife back to Henckels, and they sent me a new knife; all I paid was the cost of the postage back to them; they gave me the new knife and paid the postage back. So, I already know that if this knife does not hold up over time, Henckels will stand behind their product.

This is my 2nd one of this specific knife.

I bought a second because it is the ONE knife I use for almost all my cutting and prepping.

Interestingly, my first one I purchased about 7 yrs back was from Japan.

I have never had to resharpen this knife. EVER!

This one is from China. I tried to compare and find a flaw but the knife is perfect.

Super sharp and extremely well balanced in the hand.

Japan vs. China.... I don't see any difference.

They must still be following the Henckel manufacturer's strict specifications.

I would recommend this to any intermediate and professional chef.

It is very sharp and unforgiving for a very beginner cook so be careful.

List Price: $129.99
Sale Price: $115.99

I was a little hesitant to purchase any Easistore products after reading the "easiburn" review here. But, I needed to purchase cookware that was able to be used with an induction stove, was interested in an eco-friendly product, and I wanted to get a nesting set because I have very limited storage space. And, boy, do these nest! The amount of space saved is amazing. No more wrestling 2 or 3 pots out of the way to get to the skillet.

There is absolutely no design flaw with the lids. They do hold the moisture in and "seal" well. There is a small round hole in the steel rim of the top of the lid. This allows a tiny amount of steam to escape, just enough to allow for simmering without a rattling or bumping lid. I cooked applesauce in these and did not lose any moisture. I think you would be able to steam vegetables or rice with this, but as they teach in Home Ec 1, the right tool for the right job. Get a rice steamer if you really want to steam. Besides, you can't have a lid that seals that tightly or you have a closed expanding system -that's the reason you have those wingnuts on a pressure cooker. To keep the lid from flying off! Basic physics. The second hole is actually a cut out in the interior rim of the lid and does not allow moisture to escape as it is entirely within the pot when the lid is on and is not a hole to the exterior as long as you do not line it up with the handle (only applicable in the larger size). There is an arrow engraved on the top of the lid to easily identify where this opening is. It is there to allow for closer stacking -lets the handles through from the smaller pots.

The second design flaw claim does have a bit of validity. However, it is one pan out of the set the 3 quart. No tight sealing lid, outside a pressure cooker (see above), is going to prevent boilover. My first reaction to boilover is to lift the lid to release the pressure, which usually stops the boiling over. If you do lift the pot, I could see that the handle might be hot. Knowing that this is a possibility and reducing boilovers makes this a non-issue in my opinion.

I have found these to be quality cookware and have not had any problems with them. Glad I bought them. Amazon does not always have the lowest price. Check motherearthnews.com they had them 50% off in November. Only giving 4 stars because these are made in China, not locally in the US.

I was excited to buy this product, I loved the looks and the e-use of materials. But the design has 2 big cooking flaws. First, the lids have vent holes in the top and side (I assume the side hole is for draining out cooking liquids) which prevents them from being tight-fitting, steam retentive lids. No cooking rice or steaming anything with these. One of the things they teach in Home Ec 1 is to buy a pan with a tight, moisture retentive lid.

More serious is the larger pan, the bottom one of the nest. It has a handle that extends straight from the edge of the pan, and the handle is trough-shaped, with a hanging hole a couple of inches from the end. Problem is, if you have a boil-over in this pan, the scalding liquid travels past the pan edge (no tight lid to stop this) and right up the trough, then exits at the hole. Any cook knows a first reaction to this occurrence is to pull the pan off the heat, which puts your hand in the path of the scalding liquid exiting the hanging hole. Unexpected and unsafe.

I bought these for my Mom, who has very limited storage space. She loves them. They nest, they are heavy duty and cook well. The only issue we have is we can't get anyone at the company to respond to our request for a replacement part. (My brother cooked the pot knob, and we'd like to replace it.) Outside of that, the pots really do nest well and cook well.

Honest reviews on Natural Home 10 Piece Easistore Nesting Cookware Set

This is not 'green' cookware. I ordered some pots and the glass & steel lids have a plastic knob (verified by the manufacturer) that wraps into the inside of the lid. If you cook with the lid on, the moisture condensation will expose your food to a significant amount of plastic. If you want to avoid possible toxins from plastic cookware, this product is not for you.

I paid $10 shipping for this product and to return it, Natural Home insists I pay the return shipping too. So I either keep the pots and don't use the lids, or I return them and am out $20-$25 shipping costs for nothing but wasted time and money.

My 2 quart sauce pan leaks through the welds where the rivets hold the handle in place. I didn't notice until my return time had expired and I haven't been able to find any way to contact the manufacturer online about what I can do to replace the defective pot. The only reason I didn't give it a one star is that the other pieces seem to work for now. Again, I think the concept is great, they just need to be made better.

UPDATE:

I finally found my package insert with the customer service number (don't know why but I couldn't find it on the net). They couldn't replace the 2 qt pan by itself so they sent me a new 2 and 3 qt set free of charge. I can't help but say customer service was exceptional. The new pan works great, no leaks!

Con: The product description section is misleading there are 2 different descriptions with different size pots in each. The first one is accurate you get the 8, 12, 16 and 20 qt pots, 4 steamer inserts and 4 lids. Hope it's corrected soon.

I was able to pick this product up for around $25 and at this price it was WELL worth the money. Right now the current price is about $75, and honestly at this higher price I'm just not sure if it's worth it. The largest pot is VERY nice size, large enough for us to cook about 3 pounds of pasta with plenty of room for the water. Never tried the steamers out, and highly doubt we ever will.

Either way....for the right price...this is a great product.

This pizza grill is the best. I haven't used it in the oven yet, only the bbq, but bet it would be delicious. It has grooves over half so the pizza doesn't fall off, but is flat at one part to easily slide the pizza into the pizza plate. The pizza plate is also great, perfect to use with a pizza cutting wheel and you don't have the pizza sliding all over the place. I was worried it would get scratched but it didn't at all. And the wooden pizza paddle is cute. I would definitely recommend buying this.

Compared to my favorite Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 8-Quart Stock Pot, the Le Creuset 8-Quart Stockpot is much lighter and easier to lift and carry when filled with liquid. This stockpot is not enamel-coated cast iron like the Le Creuset pots and pans, but the colors are identical. It heats up very quickly in comparison, too. Soups, stews, and stocks cook well in this pot because the lid is tight-fitting. I would like it for a second stock pot in this size. I like the Calphalon stock pots better because they all have pasta or steamer inserts.

The Le Creuset Red Pots are not the same cherry red like their famous heart-shaped 2-Quart Pan, but a slighter deeper shade.

There are a few things I like about this pot. You can get it in attractive colors to match you Le Creuset cookware. It lighter and easier to lift, and also cheaper than my "good" Le Creuset cast iron cookware. It is good for boiling pasta. It is not good for cooking anything that might stick or scorch! I am not a bad cook, but I keep having things stick in the bottom of this pan, which also wore quickly in spite of using gentle stirring implements. It is simply not a high-performance pan, but for just boiling things in water, it comes in handy, and you don't have to be embarrassed if you leave it sitting out, since it's pretty.

With my induction cooktop, this is a great pot for cooking all kinds of pasta noodles. It is tall enough even for long lasagna noodles, but light weight enough to drain with little effort.It is also relatively easy to clean. (If pasta sticks, I just soak it for a bit and it cleans with little effort.) This is NOT the pot I would choose for making a soup or stew. The traditional Le Creuset or the Lodge Enameled Cast Iron both work with induction and traditional cook tops, and they are much better for long term braising, simmering, and reduction.

Honest reviews on Le Creuset Enameled Steel Stock Pot with Lid, Fennel

I love the size of the pot, but that's about it. Everything sticks to the bottom, no matter how low of a flame is under it. I've tried everything. It is very difficult to clean once anything sticks to it.

I have this stock pot and I love it. It isn't cast iron nor does it say it is. I don't expect cast iron cooking but I really like it for gumbo, soup, etc. I have had no problem cleaning it or with the enamel chipping. I cook alot and I would recommend it to people who know how to use it.

Reviews of Bialetti Aeternum 07206 Evolution Sauté Pan, 8-Inch

Customer Ratings:

As it says on the packaging, always use a little bit of oil or non-stick cooking spray. For the most part this pan is pretty sturdy than what I imagined. The handle does get a little warm while using it on the stove, but not enough to bother. I always use it on medium to medium-low setting for a gas stove and it is definitely more than enough heat to cook what I like. The base of the pan is actually pretty thick, it helps retain heat and spreads out the heat evenly to create a uniform cooking surface. I am definitely looking forward to purchasing all the evolution series pans.

An Additional note to the purchasers of these pans, if you want your pans to last DO NOT use metal utensils, and a typical sponge (not the rough scrubbing portion) will do to clean them. If you stack your pans, think about the metal of the other pans scratching the edges or the inside of the pan. That will also ruin you pans faster.

Easy clean up compared to most non stick surfaces and chemically safer. Read about it in cooking magazines. Will order the larger sizes soon.

I really do like this pan (so far) .

Most of my others develop a wear spot in the middle probably due to too high heat that's why I get new ones every year and make sure they are not so expensive -because it happens with them all eventually.

This pan is such an improvement from the Teflon coating type. Surface is slick with no pores. Hoping it lasts longer but only time will tell.

The ceramic is truly non-stick. Food just slides off. I even left it on a low burner for longer than I'd like to admit, and it cleaned up fine, slight coloration. I love an 8-inch saute pan. I use it every day, usually for reheating baby food (I don't have a microwave). Also great for a couple eggs.
