My wife and I are very pleased with these skillets we purchased online. We really enjoy using them, learning to cook the "waterless and "greaseless" way. When we grill meat on the skillet, we do not need to use any cooking oil. The meat gets cooked in its own fat. For vegetables, we find the cooking time shorter using the skillet, compared to using other pans or pots we have. In addition, the cooked vegetable retains its own natural sweetness. The skillets are also easy to clean.

It's truly the healthier way of cooking. On top of that, we save on the cooking oil as well as the gas.

These pans are terrific! Nothing sticks to them. The construction and materials are far superior to most of the pans I own. I would recommend them highly. HOWEVER, DON'T BUY THEM FROM SELLER BuyDBest!!! The pans arrived with no info on care or use so I tried numerous time to contact the seller and got ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE FROM THE SELLER AT ALL! Fortunately there was enough info on the internet about waterless cooking to get me started.

I thought that I do not need this pan, until I bought it, that is. The physics behind liquid reduction is simple, surface and volume should be in the same proportion.

This pan makes cooking much more fun. I haven't tried it instead of of the wok yet, but it looks promising.

Discount Lodge A5DLL Deluxe Lid Lifter

Lodge A5DLL Deluxe Lid Lifter
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
List Price: $21.95
Sale Price: $21.39

I have three lifters to compare. They are the traditional styled Lodge A5 Camp Dutch Oven Lid Lifter, this Lodge A5DLL Deluxe Lid Lifter, and the Camp Chef Professional Dutch Oven Lid Lifter (Black, 9-Inch). Here is my unbiased opinion of all three.

Lodge A5 Camp Dutch Oven Lid Lifter

Pros:

This is a multi-purpose item and it surprisingly has the best finish & has the least sloppily welded junctions of all three lifters.

I say this is a multi-purpose item because the two deluxe lifters are pretty much dedicated dutch oven table / charcoal cooking items. If you are cooking over a campfire I would go with the A5 because it can be used as a fire poker, and a coal rake as well as a lid lifter.

The A5 lifter is just as good as the Camp Chef when it comes to carrying a dutch oven by the bail handle over long distances because of the T-handle portion that is welded to the handle. The Deluxe Lodge A5DLL lifter is slightly worse because of the odd downward slope of the handle.

Cons:

The A5 does not have a cushioned handle like the other two.

There is more of a learning curve as far as balancing the lid is concerned.... But not as drastic as other reviewers would lead you to believe unless you are truly an uncoordinated klutz. Yes, the deluxe lifters are both more stable when it comes to controlling the lid, but as of right now, the only major thing I can do with the other lifters that I cannot do with the traditional A5 is grab the lid and turn it completely upside down. Unless you are a tricked out dutch oven stunt cooking artist, then there is really no need to do this. I'm still able to use the A5 to tilt the lid to either side to knock the ashes off and whatever else I need to do while cooking and transporting (by the bail handle) the ovens. The point, I am trying to make is that the A5 is not as bad as people try to make it out to be.

Lodge A5DLL Deluxe Lid Lifter

Pros:

This one has the best length for ground cooking. That is about the only good advantage that this one has over the rest of them, however, if you plan on doing deep bean hole type cooking, then I would go with the Camp Chef Professional Dutch Oven Lid Lifter, 22-Inch (which I do not own, but looks identical to the 9-inch which I do own).

Cons:

The finish on this model is the worst of the three. It is almost as if they baked on the finish and then tried to weld it together after the fact... as opposed to the Camp Chef which looks like it was welded first... then baked on the finished (which is how I would expect the process to be done). Then inner bar of the A5DLL Deluxe wiggles and turns inside the outer sleeve much more so than the Camp Chef, which is very annoying.

I am not sure I am all that sold on the downward slope of the A5DLL handle as opposed to the straight, parallel handle configuration of the Camp Chef.

To me, this is the worst lifter... and it cost the most. Looks like I paid more for the Lodge name, rather than any added or superior benefits over the Camp Chef version. However it's not really something that I would waste time trying to return through the mail because the advantages of the Camp Chef version over this one are minimal. If I had to do it all over again, knowing what I know now, I would probably have purchased the 14-inch Camp Chef version over the A5DLL, but then I would be giving up 2 inches in length which is better for ground cooking as opposed to table cooking.

Camp Chef Professional Dutch oven Lid Lifter (Black, 9-Inch)

Pros:

This one is the best for dutch oven table cooking because of its length. It keeps you from having the move the ovens around on the table in an awkward position because the length is just right.

The handle on the Camp Chef has more of a solid feel than the Lodge Deluxe A5DLL version. The parallel bar configuration works the best for me.

The weld junctions on the Camp Chef are better and it has a slightly more beefier construction than the Lodge Deluxe A5DLL. However, the lodge A5 has the best welds (read: more durability) of all three lifters that I own.

Cons:

The only con I can see at this point is that the metal is exposed under the outer sleeve of the t-handle (I assume to make it slide better inside the sleeve) on the Camp Chef. There could be a rusting issue somewhere down the line... then again maybe not because it looks like that part is galvanized. Only time will tell. There really is no need for this portion to be unfinished, because part of the bar that slides within the tube is finished and it does not hinder the way the bar functions at all.

Final thoughts:

Overall I like the traditional A5 the best but that is just my personal preference because of its multi-functional versatility. It's just a jack of all trades. I can do almost everything the deluxe lifters can do, plus I can use it as a fire poker and a coal raker.

If you are cooking over a campfire, go with the A-5. If your cooking is limited only to cooking on a dutch oven table, then I would go with the 9-inch Camp Chef lifter. If you are ground or bean-hole cooking then I would take a long look at both the Camp Chef 14-inch and 22-inch lid lifters before deciding to buy this Lodge A5DLL Deluxe Lid Lifter.

Reviews of Tools of the Trade Basics Starter 12-Piece Cookware Set

Tools of the Trade Basics Starter 12-Piece Cookware Set
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
I have had my Tools of the Trade Basics set for about 16 years and it looks no worse for wear than it did after about the first six months. I have read a lot of unfavorable reviews for this cookware and I can only surmise that the cookware's owners did not read, or paid no attention to the enclosed instructions. If you cook with medium~low heat you should NEVER have any trouble with uneven cooking, burn on's, or difficult clean up. My old stainles set is a breeze to use, to clean (I use a two sided sponge/scrubbie thing on everything) and I don't forsee ever having to replace it. My only recommendation would be to buy the set with the all steel handles (unavailable when I purchased mine) so you can use them in the oven if you desire. My brother John is a world class chef and gave my cookware the thumbs up. Naturally...he's been informing everyone who will listen that the secret to successful stovetop cooking (aside from fresh, quality ingredients) is using the proper temperature setting. Buy this cookware and use it properly for life. Don't bother with ANY anodized, or coated cookware.

You get 2 Pans (1 with a glass cover), 3 Steamers (with Glass covers) and 3 spoons/turners. Enough tools for serving a 1 or 2 people meal and probably perfect for a college-grad or the first apartment. The glass tops help as you can see the food while cooking. The utensils look and feel good.

Only thing I wish was included (and which I had to buy separately) is a flat turner (I love omelettes and you cannot make a good one with the ones already in the package).

Overall, good value for money. I checked out a few similar items in stores (including Macy's) and didn't find anything close to this price.

I was excited to receive this pan and quickly tried it out. The cakes came out effortless with just a spirits of spray oil. However, the resulting shape wasn't really donut like because the wells of the pan are just to fat. It doesn't even pass off as a cute mini bundt pan look. If your not going for a donut shape or a mini bundt pan shape, it still doesn't look cute. It looks worse than a mini cupcake with hole in the middle. Good pan but not cute enough to use it over buying a real mini bundt or donut pan.

We received this saucier as a wedding gift from a friend, and she really knew what she was doing when she bought this pan! The heat distribution on this thing is incredible, so you don't get the typical "hot" and "cold" spots as you would with cheaper cookware. The weight is substantial, but not too much even for a petite person such as me to handle, lift, or hand wash. The little vent hole in the lid is a nice touch, and the colors (we have flame) will really brighten things up around your kitchen. It is well worth the money to purchase this pan, especially since it has a 101 year warranty.

Beautiful pan, a joy to cook with(I use it every day).

Solid and sturdy, but not too heavy to lift with one hand.

Great for sauces. stews and soups.

Goes from stovetop to oven to table. the knob on the lid is happy up to 400 degrees, but I usually put a piece of foil over it if it needs to be covered.

Cleans up easily. Best to wash it by hand and towel dry thoroughly. (per instructions).

I have found it best to use butter rather than oil when sauteeing meat. The first time I used it was for scratch made marinara sauce and I used a dab of butter to sautee bacon( fat cut off) and it worked perfectly, no sticking at all.

The second time I used oil to sautee the bacon and it started sticking a little. After scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to unstick the bacon, I added a dab of butter and no more sticking!

Since butter rather than oil is most commonly used in traditional french cooking, I'm assuming the pans are designed to work best with butter? You only need a dab of butter so it's not really a health issue. Now I know why my mother( who was half french) always insisted on using butter rather than oil in her Le Creuset pans! After 40 plus years of daily use, my mother's Le Creuset pans are finally due for retirement(Boo hoo!) $200 is a lot of money for a pan, but if you can get 40 years of use out of them, it's well worth it.

I bought the Metrokane Rabbit as a Christmas gift for my parents and it has since become the most indispensible item in our kitchen. We drink wine every night in our house, and have been through many a corkscrew, but absolutely nothing compares to this. The Rabbit makes short work of opening a bottle of wine for even the puniest-armed of us, and indeed, has caused one or two scuffles at dinner over who gets to open the next bottle of wine! Three swift, smooth movements will open even the most stubborn bottle, and with none of the grunting, puffing and red-faced struggling that often accompanies this manouvre. There is a particular brand of white wine I drink that is next to impossible to open if you have left the bottle to chill with the cork in it, and I actually broke 3 "traditional" corkscrews trying to open one single bottle of this. Well, in the highest praise I can summon for the Rabbit, I have not had a problem with one of these bottles since I bought it. If you are a wine-drinker, or even just a lover of gadgets, buy this now!

I've been using these Metrokanes for several years now and I wouldn't want to use anything else. They make absolutely anyone look like a pro opening a bottle of wine, while of course at the same time avoiding the occasional broken cork plunged into the bottle horror.

Whenever we have guests, they always comment on the Metrokane, and as a result I've found it makes a perfect gift. In particular, this silver model is extremely attractive.

I bought both this and the similar version from Brookstone this year. I was expecting a lot from the metrokane, but it turns out the Brookstone is much better. It's $60, but the Brookstone version will last you MUCH longer than the $45 metrokane.

Among the differences: The metrokane is made of plastic, the Brookstone is metal. The Brookstone model comes with two bottle sealers, and it's case is made of very high quality leather-like material instead of cheap plastic. Finally, my metrokane is brand new, and I've already managed to scratch the finish, since it's so cheap.

If you're looking to get a new wine opener, do yourself a favor and BUY ANOTHER BRAND.

Honest reviews on Metrokane Rabbit Wine Opener Tool Kit, Silver

Don't waste your time on this company.

My first Rabbit had a plastic handle. When it broke after several years of use, I replaced it with a metal handle Rabbit because it had 10-year warrantee. (I think the first one had a 2-year warrantee.)

The new Rabbit malfunctioned. A mission-critical piece of rubber tore, making the Rabbit useless. I sent the Rabbit to Metrokane per the package instructions. (I paid the postage and also had to enclose a check to cover *their* mailing costs.)

A week or so later, my Rabbit was returned to me without any repairs. Their note said that they couldn't find anything wrong with the thing. I phoned Metrokane to complain. They said that the rubber was not covered by the warrantee. I was told to get rubber glue to fix the thing. I checked the warrantee. Nowhere does it say that certain parts are not covered. Finally they agreed to replace it.

The replacement was defective. The Metrokane rep. copped an attitude when I complained, saying that I was probably using it incorrectly. (Remember, I'd owned a Rabbit and had used it for years, so I'm sure I knew how to use it.)

The company wouldn't send another Rabbit and I refused to spend more money to return the second defective product. I'm using a $10 knock-off now. It works every time.

If you are looking for a well functioning opener, this is not it! Much better "rabbit" type openers are on the market. First is the fact that it is mostly plastic, not metal, so don't be fooled by the metallic appearance in the photo. When opening the first bottle, (with normal cork). I noticed it was much more difficult to use than the old one (other brand) I had. It required extensive pressure to insert the cork, to the point I thought the flimsy plastic handles would break. Then I opened a second bottle with a plastic cork. This almost broke the opener when using upward pressure to remove the cork from the bottle. And after finally getting the cork out of the bottle, (it took two people), the cork would not come off of the screw. I had to manually untwist the cork from the opener. Save your money, spend a little more and get a real opener. This one is nice to look at but not functional! Real Junk, and not cheap!!

The pan is neat as a novelty but it's constructed of thin metal so you have to keep moving it around as you cook to avoid burnt/raw spots, it's NOT nonstick despite what it claims (I advise having plenty of PAM handy) and the cheap plastic handle broke the first time I tried to wash it.

My girlfriend and I have used it (improvising a set of locking jaw pliers to replace the broken handle) a few times over the last couple weeks. It's fun to make little pig faced pancakes as long as you don't mind the fact that you have to stand right at the stove and make them one at a time.

At the end of the day, cheap junk from China is still just cheap junk from China though.

I've been on an American made mission for a few years and wanted to replace my very expensive Chinese made Stainless steel cookware with All Clad which is made in America. I buy one piece of All Clad pot a month on sale and was desparate for a non-stick pan which seemed to take forever to go on sale. My husband and son kept cooking eggs in the regular saute pan and it was a hassle to clean it. I found out that Nordic Ware was making cookware (they are famous for their bundt pans). I checked Amazon and found this pan for less than 1/4 of what All Clad would cost me on sale. I read that the pan was lightweight so I was surprised how heavy it is. I would call it medium weight and only slightly lighter than my All Clad pan of the same size. The difference is that the Nordic Ware has a hollow handle. It also has a dull, brushed aluminum look exterior (although it is steel) as opposed to the shiny stainless exterior but for what I paid I can overlook it. I'm really happy with the pan and with not having to scour eggs and other sticky things out of the pan. I love All Clad but I'm really impressed with Nordic Ware and it is American made. You could spend two to three times more for cheap Chinese made pans

The pan seems to be a little shallow and a little lightweight but it has not warped or failed me. In general, reviews of less expensive pans suggest that the nonstick surface wears off over time. I will not feel bad about replacing this pan when the time comes because it was reasonably priced. It looks like you need to get into the $200 to $300 range to get a really high quality pan. For the price, this one is an overall good deal.

Since the early 1920's Le Creuset has been doing it right. Making some of the worlds finest and most versatile cookware. For most anyone who loves to cook owning a Le Creuset enamel pot should be an essential.

These pots retain an even heat like no other and regardless of what you're preparing the results are exceptional. There's an old adage which I find to be true and that's the food you prepare is only as good as the ingredients you use and cookware used to prepare it. Along side of quality knives or at the very least one high quality chef knife a Le Creuset pot will reward you over and over again with a lifetime of durable and always impressive performance.

Known for their outstanding results with braising and searing a Le Creuset pot is perfect for stewing, steaming and saute.

They easily go from cook top to oven for finishing and to table top for serving. Unlike other enamel coated cookware these pots with proper care won't chip, crack or burn. Recently I left this very pot on the stove at far to high a temperature burning the bottom terribly. I thought it was ruined. But an overnight soak in soapy water and the burned on "cement" came off without a hitch.

Personally I prefer the oval shape. It's perfect for oblong roasts, whole chickens, Duck and so on. I may have finally discovered the secret to my Mothers exquisite pot roast which I've been trying to re create for decades it was in part anyway due to the pot!

The brown meats and veggies wonderfully and hold an awful lot of food which all cooks evenly.

Le Creuset come beautifully packaged with instructions for proper care a recipe booklet and a booklet of techniques.

As for the cherry color, it's deep and rich with wonderful dark shadows, it reminds me of an enormous ripe Bing cherry. It's a gorgeous pot that will help you serve up equally gorgeous food, time and time again.

I have owned this French oven for a couple of years and it still is one of my favorite pieces of cookware. I have cooked stews, Sunday gravy, jambalaya, and my wife has even made rice crispy treats on occasion in this pot. I have used it on gas and electric without any problems. It takes a little bit more time to heat up but it much easier to clean than a normal pot. The only con is the weight for some folks, but other than that the quality of this piece is outstanding.

I have eyed up Le Creuset for ages but have always been hesitant to buy, because I was unsure if I would get my money's worth out of it. Oh how wrong I was about not getting enough use out it! I purchased the 5 quart oval, in cherry red, on a whim at an outlet. It's now my favorite piece of kitchen cookware. I have used this oval oven to bake bread, sear meat, make stew and soups, bake meat, make mac and cheese, and bake au gratin potatoes. It is just so darn versatile!

My favorite use is currently baking bread, since I have discovered no-knead bread is perfect for this piece. I was slightly concerned because no knead bread bakes at a very high temperature, higher than the recommended temp for the knob on the lid, but I called customer service and they said many people bake it at high temps with no issues, and also that I could purchase a stainless steel knob for high temperature baking, which I have done (getting it on the lid is a breeze.) If you want to keep the regular knob, I did not have any issues with it cracking at a 500 degree temperature. I just bought the stainless steel knob because I am paranoid.

One issue I had (which was totally my fault) is that I put olive oil in the pan at a higher temperature than I should have, as olive oil has a low smoke point. I turned my back for a few moments too long and ended up with a stain in the bottom of my pot. However, after reading online some fixes I boiled baking soda and water in the french oven, let cool, then scrubbed the stain with a baking soda/water paste with a magic eraser and it looks like brand new!

Very cheaply made. I had to get rid of them because the non-stick coating started to peel. Save your money and get something else.

These are inexpensive, they work very well for the price but they are thin and shallow. They are not deep at all, hard to make things like hamburger helper without it boiling over... Otherwise good
