This pot is well made, made in the US, and good for ceramic stovetops. It is on the heavy side for its size, but that is because it has an aluminum core that extends up the sides of the pot as well. We like the fact that it is dishwasher safe. Also, the lid is made here, unlike the lid from our All-Clad fry pan, where only the pan is made here but the lid is made in China.

It's a solid saucepan, but there are a few things that keep me from loving it.

For one thing, the rivets are set fairly low, so that the food is almost always touching them. For another, I don't think the helper handle helps much at all. There's not really anything heavy enough that would require the extra handle, and it gets really hot from being so close to the element. As well, the long handle part of it is too hefty for the size of the pan. I'd say that it probably makes up more than half of the weight, so that it feels almost unbalanced when empty on the stove.

I generally don't use this unless my other saucepans are unavailable.

I cannot say a thing against this Silver Tear pattern. I found it at Amazon when looking for new stainless for my new condo that I am decorating with a beach/coastal theme. The pattern name may be Silver Tear, but to me it looks just like some twisted rope that one would use to attach an anchor to a boat. The individual pieces are LARGE and heavy and feel VERY expensive! I get many complements on them!

Customer Ratings: 3 stars

I already had a bigger version of this type of colander, and decided it would be good to have a smaller one, too. While I like the bowl of this colander, the handles are not nice and smooth and curved like the photo shows, they are more angular and the edges are a raw version of the steel and not polished/finished like the bowl, and definitely not shaped like the handles on the polished bowl as shown in the photo. If rinsing and 'shaking' this colander, the edges are 'rough/unsmooth' enough to hurt your hands/fingers they are more like a slightly angled rectangle coming of the sides of the colander than the nice curve and smooth appearance in the photo. I was disappointed in this colander in that respect, as my bigger colander, which cost less, has nicely curved, rolled, polished & smooth handles like this photo DOES show. The bigger colander is an unknown brand, purchased at a grocery store. The photo of this colander shows it with the type of smooth, less angular curve of the bigger colander I already have, not this smaller one I ordered. The photos should show EXACTLY what you are a getting, not a facsimile that is not true to ALL the elements of the item. I would not have purchased this item had it been truly shown as what I ended up receiving, as I know that type of handles would hurt my hands when using it.

I've been waiting a long time to purchase a really nice cookware set. I've had my eyes on this set for a very long time and after much debate, i finally purchased on amazon. When it arrived, I was so impressed. I anxiously took everything out of the box and rush to the kitchen to start cooking (also, I must say that the way the company packaged this 13 piece set in the box was amazing). After I finished cooking, I had food that "appeared" to have been stuck on...but to my surprise, it was just an illusion. Cleaning these pots were amazing and were like magic. I simply had to wipe away my mess with very little pressure or effort. I don't know how else to describe this cookware set other than saying this is in fact the best investment I've made this month. The seller shipped this out asap and I received it in a timely manner. The seller also answered some questions that I had in a timely fashion and was very friendly and professional. Overall I love this set. It's a very "sophisticated" and fancy looking set of cookware. The quality is amazing and it was worth every cent. Unfortunately, there are only 5 stars because I would definitely rate this with 10 stars...

I got this set for my birthday and I am in love. The set is durable, handles don't heat up during cooking and the pots and pans heat up so high, you may have to slightly adjust you cooking settings. My old pots and pans were T-Fal. I have never seen water boil so vigorously and quickly as they do in the Circulon pots and pans. The non-stick feature is also much better. I cooked ground turkey in the pan and forgot to spray the pan with cooking spray. I cooked the turkey without any oil or spray and didn't realize what I had done until the turkey was fully cooked! No negatives to report thus far.

This beverage dispenser was used for a Christmas Party which we hosted this year at my house. The shipment was prompt and all contents were in good shape upon arrival. After a good wash, I put it to use.

The dispenser tap was installed and was just hand-tightened. I ensured there were no leaks. Through its usage, not a single drop leaked, either from the tap or where the tap was installed. The provided washer kept things tight.

In searching for a drink dispenser, I needed something that wouldn't take up too much room on the kitchen counter. For that reason, I chose this slim model.

There are all sorts of drink dispensers out there that range from $20 $200, the single most important thing for me was the dispensing of the liquid.

Majority of these types of products, if you look carefully, the dispensing tap is about two to three inches above the base, which means if the liquid reaches below the dispenser's tap, you'd have to tilt the dispenser which I'm sure all of us have done that at one point or another at the restaurants, birthday parties, or family gatherings.

This was a HUGE concern for me since there are kids who would be trying to get a full glass of drink and would have the potential need to tilt the dispenser to get a full glass as the contents reached towards the bottom.

Well, this product is ingeniously designed where 99% of the liquid can be dispensed as it sits on its base, without any tilting. If you look at the picture of this product, the dispensing tap is at the very bottom of the liquid/drink line. In reading the description on the mfg's website, I recall reading something about using all the liquid as well.

During the upcoming spring and summer, we plan on using this frequently as we'll be entertaining more outdoors, in our backyard. I recommend this product and gave it 5 stars for what it does and its design and construction.

True dimensions are more like:

It is probably good for 2-3 people but not much more as this is a smaller pot. Contact area on the bottom is a 1" wide ring and found this to cause troubles with induction stoves. As designed, gas and charcoal is probably better. Looking for a flat bottom version for my induction stove.

I am very happy with this product and so were my guest who came to dinner. In fact, the item was so impressive that it never made it to the table. I washed it and poured the water in the pot while my son took down the burner. In the short time that this was happening, our guest mentioned that Shabu Shabu was her husband's favorite meal, but because they live in Palau, I knew that in order to eat Shabu Shabu they would have to go out to town. I walked back to the table, picked up the pot, and emptied out the water. I grabbed the kitchen towel and wiped it dry and started to put it back in the box. I gave it to my girlfriend and she was speechless. It was a pleasure to see the smile on her face when she realized the pot was now hers. We took out my Shabu Shabu stone pot and enjoyed our supper. It's a healthy meal, and a lot of fun when friends are over.

Next time I would get a larger pot to accommodate more people for supper. It is a very attractive piece on the table.

Best Browne Foodservice Heavy Duty Non Stick Fry Pans with Grip Deals

Browne Foodservice 58 14830 5-Gauge Heavy Weight Non Stick Fry Pan with Grip, 10-Inch
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I bought 2 of these and two Cuisinart non stick pans of the same size so I could make 4 Vietnamese Banh Xeo at a time. Which I did last Wednesday night. All the pans worked well, but these were less expensive and heavier, though somewhat less elegant than the Cuisinarts, which I think were $28 each. I will buy other sizes of this product line. I especially like the comfort of the grips. They are supposed to be removable, but they are quite tight around the handle. I was worried about putting them in the oven, but I visited the Browne-Halco website where there was a pdf catalog. I found the product and learned that these blue handles are heat resistant to 572F/300C. My oven will only achieve 550F, so I doubt I'll ever need to remove them. Thank you, Amazon, for the free shipping. I ordered late Monday afternoon and they arrived on Wednesday, just as promised. We are in a very rural area. How do you do it? (Yes, I know; your email reveals that you shipped it in the small hours of Tuesday morning.)

This item was purchased because an 8" pan was a bit too big for my intended use. 7" would be perfect! It is actually 7 3/4", not 7" as listed in the product description and stamped on the bottom. On the other hand, it is quite thick, distributes heat well, and has a non-PFOA non-stick coating. It's too early to tell, but I suspect the Eclipse non-stick coating will continue to release perfectly. My pan has a flat bottom and doesn't spin, but like most aluminum pans, that may change if it is overheated. Cosmetics aside, it is a very nice but not that little NSF skillet.

Reviews of Old Dutch International Rustic Rectangular Pot Rack with Hooks

Old Dutch International Rustic Rectangular Pot Rack with Hooks
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

This is our first pot rack, and I must say that this one is well made. Comes with four chains and 4 mounting hooks so you can hang it as shown with 2 chains on one hook or with each chain on its own hook. I screwed all four into my ceiling so that the rack would maintain balance better when taking items off of it. Took less than an hour to install with a cordless drill and stud finder. It is made in China but is very sturdy and could not imagine ever needing anything more. We have over a hundred pound on this thing right now and it holds up fine.

Looks great on amazon, but when you open the box its a different story. First in comparison to the black picture, you will notice the Fo antique paint job which is really light brown paint spread across the metal so thick you can see the brush marks. This "paint job" is continued across the chains, hooks, and bolts. It is so tacky I would expect to see this sold at a craft fair for 25$. Next you will notice that the hooks do not fit into the center, only along the outside edges leaving a hole in the center while hanging pots. Lastly the welds are pretty rustic with the center hoops disjointedly not meeting on the other side. They mostly connect only with the weld. I fool heartedly tried to salvage the pot rack by sanding down the brown paint and repainting it. After about 6 hours worth of work, purchasing new chains, and new hooks to fit in the center the pot rack looks OK. I wish I had sent this back. This is very cheap craftsmanship for 100$.

Best Deals for Old Dutch International Rustic Rectangular Pot Rack with Hooks

I'm of two minds on this pot rack. On the one hand, you can spend as much ason a pot rack, and this unit costs only For the price, I suppose this isn't such a bad unit. On the other hand, you get what you pay for. Construction quality is generally poor, the welds are messy and the finish is awful. The threads on the ceiling hooks are the worst I've ever seen. Naturally any time you put a thread this large into solid wood, you have to appropriately pre-drill the holes. Even having done that, the threads were so dull and rounded I couldn't get them to bite. I could have possibly enlarged the holes somewhat, but, in my opinion, that wouldn't have left enough wood to adequately grip the threads (a full load of pots adds up to a lot of weight to support!) In the end, I threw the ceiling hooks away and replaced them with some heavy eye bolts with good quality wood screw threads. The pot hooks are adequate, but they sometimes require a bit of forcing to get them installed, and the finish on them is fragile. In the final analysis, the unit does what I need it to do, which is to free up cupboard space and get my pans where I can easily reach them. For that, I'm happy. However, if I had it to do again, I'd spend the extra money to get a better built, better finished product. I wouldn't recommend this pot rack to anyone.

Honest reviews on Old Dutch International Rustic Rectangular Pot Rack with Hooks

This rack is precisely the same one I saw on far more expensive websites. We've hung it and I'm delighted with it. One caveat: the hooks have on them a rounded tip that's excellent for preventing items from slipping off too easily, but the knob also prevents me from using them to hang pots whose handles have narrower openings. For those I have to use hooks of my own.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Old Dutch International Rustic Rectangular Pot Rack with Hooks

This is a large pot rack that will probably hold more weight than your ceiling can support. Make sure you get the screws solidly into the joists.

The hooks have large balls at the end. Not all pot handles will fit over these (most of mine did) so for some pots you will have to get other hooks or put them in the basket. No complaint here; we have everything from old cast iron to All-Clad and there is not a good way to make hooks that will hold everything.

I got this set for Christmas, so I've had some time to use the cookware. For a stainless steel set at this price, it looks and feels like a more expensive set. They are visually appealing with nice elegant curves and a nice polished finish yet very sturdy and well built. They have a very solid feel in the hand and I will expect them to last for many years. I've always liked the quality of Cuisinart products and this set is no different. The aluminum base that is sandwiched in between the steel at the base makes for very even heat distribution. Cleanup with these are easy, I use Bon Ami to get off stubborn burned on food. I would not put these in the dishwasher, they can get small scratches and ruin the nice finish of the outside of the cookware. Overall you can't go wrong with a cookware set of this quality at this price.

I bought these about a month ago, after long months of research (it's hard to find a good set at this price!). I am very happy with them. First of all, they look gorgeous, which is an unexpected treat. Secondly, they cook beautifully as long as you never, never use them on any heat higher than medium high. I can actually sauté most things on medium with these pans. I do have to use enough cooking oil, and keep stirring--but this set is are not non-stick, and any stainless steel would be the same. If anything sticks or burns on, I use some powdered Bon Ami, recommended by the man where we bought the set.

Best Deals for Cuisinart 44-13 Contour Stainless 13-Piece Cookware Set

Because of other reviewers' input, I feel compelled to add mine. I LOVE my new pots and pans! I knew going into it there were no lids for the skillets, and I wish Cuisinart would fix that. It was also good to read up on care of stainless steel cookware--I think that has been and will continue to be the key to preventing discoloration of the beautiful shiny silver appearance! I am an ordinary person and I have managed to scorch and burn some things already (so preheat pans a little, use small amount of oil or Pam, and use lower heat than you're used with non-stainless cookware), but letting them cool a bit prior to rinse (to prevent warping) and/or heating plain water to loosen burned food, makes clean-up a snap. Use a stainless steel "scrubby" if you need a little extra muscle. I haven't used Ajax at all (and won't with these because of chlorine), I've washed in dishwasher, and I've even let them set in sink overnight. I also rinse after cooking acidic foods (spaghetti sauce, tomatoes, etc). It's obvious they're not brand-new-out-of-the-box, but they're pretty dang close. And I love, love, love cooking with them!!!

Honest reviews on Cuisinart 44-13 Contour Stainless 13-Piece Cookware Set

I like this set. It's pretty simple to clean and I'm getting used to cooking with it. It heats up more easily than my last set, but unlike some other reviews have noted, I haven't burnt anything so far. I just had to get used to cooking on a setting or two under the recommended because of the core that intensifies the heat.

I only have two complaints, and they both involve the lids. When I'm boiling something, sometimes the steam will escape from several sides of the lid. This may just be because I'm boiling at a higher temp. than necessary; not sure. The other complaint is that, unlike the handle to any of the pots and pans, the handles to the lids heat up quite a bit. I usually need an oven mitt to remove them.

Other than what has been mentioned, great set. I should also note that I'm a bit of a klutz and have dropped the same glass lid twice now on my kitchen floor and it still looks brand new, so I think we can assume this set is somewhat durable.

Enjoy!

I have to say, after reading some of the reviews I was a little scared to buy the set. I have 47 years cooking experience for a family of 6. I also have a Contour 12" fry pan my fiance bought for me & I have had no problems with it, in fact I love this fry pan! So I took the plunge & bought the Contour set! My set came & they were just beautiful! Not a scratch or dent to be found anywhere. I have cooked everything in them with no problems (sticking, cleaning etc.) no marks , discoloration or pitting like some people have complained about. Handles & lid handles are fine, don't get hot enough for use of oven mitts. I have cooked tomato sauce & meatballs & let them simmer on the stove & have no sticking what so ever.The instructions are very clear about cooking temps. & cleaning process. I take a lot of pride in my cooking & how my pots & pans look. Cleaning is quick & simple. No more time to clean than any non stick set.No scrubbing needed! And they look beautiful. As good as new! Please Do Not let the negative reviews deter you from ordering these pots & pans, I love mine & I am sure you will Not be disappointed in this purchase! Just remember: Read the instructions & you will NOT have any problems, A few old hints: lower heat & heat the pan a little before putting oil or butter in the pan & everything will cook fine. Cooking with s.s. is different than non stick pans. And if something does stick,( old hint) put on stove with water & boil for a couple mins. & it will come right out & Bar Keepers Friend will become YOUR BEST FRIEND. It takes 2 seconds to use & saves on dish soap! Also if you find shadows of what you cooked in the pan, use about 1/8 th cup of vinegar to a cup or 2 of water & boil on stove & shadows will disappear like magic!I only saw a shadow once & never again! Also make sure you dry the pans well, I use a microfiber cloth & they shine like new! LOVE MY POTS & PANS! Wish you all luck with them. I have had an excellent experience with mine! 1 more thing, my fiance said he paid big bucks in the store for 1 12" pan, so i found the price on Amazon to be very good as well.

I bought this cookware to use on the induction cooktop in my RV, and have not been disappointed. The removable handles and nesting of the various pieces result in very efficient storage, and the pieces are indeed nicely compatible with induction cooking (and can be used in a conventional oven with the handles removed). I purchased pot/pan protectors to separate the various pieces while nested -for both protection of the nonstick surface coating and to eliminate rattles while moving. While I can't address the durability of the nonstick coating after only a month of use, all of the pieces appear to be very high quality and I am optimistic that they will hold up well using wooden/plastic implements and hand washing. The handles attach and detach easily and are very secure while attached. I had some initial concerns when I noticed that the pots have a pouring lip that is not fully blocked when the lid is in place, but I've found that this small opening does not affect the steaming of veggies and allows one to easily drain water with the lid in place. Overall, I have no post-purchase regrets and recommend this cookware to others, especially if induction cooking and efficient storage is an important consideration.

Minus 2 stars because the salt flavoring mixed in with the seeds

is too overpowering so what you have is a very good idea, but the

only workaround is to snip a cut in the corner of the seed pack and pour out

a portion of the salty flavoring and then put the seeds/flavoring on the well

heated oil that is provided.

BARELY a 2 star review. Looks nice, non-stick coating is excellent, the issue is with the general construction. Sub-par rivets and handles are poorly designed and sure to fail during regular use. Our Ecolution 10" pan is only 3 months old and the handle is already starting to spin, and there is no way to tighten it. Fine for a cheap set to give to a student, or someone furnishing their first kitchen, but this is low end stuff hiding behind a fake eco-friendly name/label. It is NOT eco-friendly if you have to throw it away 6 months later.

Do not buy this product if you have a gas stove. St handle started smoldering & melting the first time I used it. There is no warning on the package whatsoever. highly Disappointed.

Honest reviews on Ecolution Elements Eco-Friendly 8 Piece Cookware Sets

I brought these pots and pans because they are PFOA free. Since the non-stick coating seems very durable, I'm very happy with that. However, the outer green coating stains and scratches very easily (as another reviewer pointed out). It probably does not affect the functionality, but those scratches and stains are very noticeable and I find them very ugly. Since I'm happy with other Ecolution cookware, I would just avoid these green pots and pans for aesthetic reasons.

****Update****

There is another probelm I would like to point out. The handle on the Ecolution frying pans gets loose very easily. I have to tighten the screw almost every other time I use the frying pans. It happens to both of the frying pans from the 8 piece set and also to another Ecolution frying pan I bought separately. So, I have to say it's a design flaw.

I bought this set and a fry pan set from Ecolution and came away neither impressed or unimpressed. These are middle of the road in quality and manufacture. They are attractive, but don't appear to be built to handle serious kitchen uses, they're on a par with the products sold in the average supermarket. As with the pan set I bought, some of the handles were off and they and their screws were loose in the box, so be careful to check the box before discarding it and make sure you aren't discarding a handle screw. The lids fit well, and being clear make it easy to see what you're cooking. On the whole, I don't think I would purchase this brand again, but they might be right for others.
