I bought this spatula to replace the Calphalon spatula I bought from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. The Calphalon looked nice, but food stuck to it like crazy! It was always so difficult to clean. This kitchenaid one, on the other hand, cleans much more easily. I also like that the handle is very long it really helps when you're frying eggs and don't want oil splatters to get on your hands. And the color is super bright and cheery! I always want to reach for this spatula simply because the color is so fun.

We were looking for a deeper baking dish for making those casseroles that will feed four or five big eaters. This dish was just right. A little pricey but when you need a larger casserole dish, this one is perfect.

Oxo International 1071536 Good Grips Spatula, Black Silicone, Small Reviews

Customer Ratings:

We have all 3 sizes. The small and medium began to tear after a few months just where the tip tapers. These are metal coated with silicone. The design does not stand up after flexing so many uses and begins to split exposing the metal inside to your nonstick surface. We loved these and are so disappointed. The largest omelet spatula is still going strong!

Granted I love this smaller size spatula, but I go through one a year it seems. It's probably the most used kitchen tool in my house but over time, the metal becomes exposed and it's time to replace it.

Best Deals for Oxo International 1071536 Good Grips Spatula, Black Silicone, Small

Skip the cheaper oxo nylon version and go with this silicone turner. This is a fantastically useful tool when baking (removing cookies from the baking sheet or the smaller loaves from a baking stone), sauteeing or stir-frying (turning and moving vegies and meats in the frying pan), flipping pancakes, and aiding in clean up, when scraping the sticky leftovers from the pan into the garbage or disposal. I use this turner with the larger model instead of a pizza peel to get pizzas off the baking stone, with a lot of success.

This tool is so handy that I've got one in each size (regular and large), and I need one more to have on hand when the others are in the dishwasher. I accidentally left my turner at a friend's house while baking cookies. I quickly got it back, but she'd already used it a few times and fell in love with it. I told her to try Amazon and get the 4-for-3 discount. And unlike the nylon version, this one handles heat without melting. The only problem with silicone is that it sometimes holds smells after washing, but luckily, it doesn't transfer smells.

These Oxo appliances are excellent, and make cooking much simpler. However, bear in mind this particular model is the smaller one. They have another bigger model.

They are both great for their independent purpuses, though.

Bought my 4.5 qt Le Creuset at TJ Maxx for ½ off. Never pay full price is my motto.

I wanted to use it in the oven as well as the stovetop, so needed this steel knob to replace the black one. I like going back and forth between knobs because I prefer to not have to use a pot-holder when cooking on the stovetop. But, for high temperatures in the oven, this knob is necessary.

What is there to say? It works. I think the knobs both look fine. Get it if you need it. All you need is a screwdriver to install.

Reviews of William Bounds Nut Twister Nutmeg Mill, Chrome

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $34.00
Sale Price: $25.73
Today's Bonus: 24% Off

I have owned this nutmeg mill for over 2 years a gift from my wife. The mill is good-looking and has the great advantage of keeping the nutmegs together with the tool. Its storage capacity is 4 to 5 average size nutmegs under the acrylic, plus one nutmeg being grated.

However, outside of being a handsome storage box for nutmegs, it is not greatly useful. The center spring which pushes against the nutmeg being grated is not very strong, and the cutting mechanism is not strongly abrasive. As a result, the mill will stop working before a netmug is fully processed, and leave you with about 1/3 of a nutmeg which cannot be milled. Also, because of the way the spring grabs the nutmeg (through small triangular teeth), it frequently start slipping against the nutmeg it is trying to hold in place. When that happens, you can grind as much as you want but nothing will come out, since the nutmeg is not being rotated.

Altogether this is quite frustrating. It requires constant adjustment. When the nutmeg is 2/3 down you still try to get it to grind but it won't, and you feel bad about throwing the remmant away. The worst, for me, is that I don't want to stop using it since it was a gift from my wife. So I am bound to use this ineffective tool forever...

If you are interested in a nutmeg mill, check out the spring-loaded Zyliss, I don't own it (obviously) but I have heard good things about it. Either way, unless you intend to have it for display only, stay away from this mill.

I, too, had the same complaints about this grinder evidenced by many of the unhappy reviewers .... until I discovered it isn't the grinder, but the nutmegs which came with it that were at fault; they were too soft. Perhaps the included nutmegs were stale, or perhaps I had allowed them to be subjected to high humidity, but until I had exhausted the supply which came with the grinder I constantly had to fidget with the nut to keep it shaving. Most frustrating was when the bosses that are supposed to impale the nut to fix it rigidly to the spindle simply chew a circle in the top of the nut while the blade holds it motionless from below.

Once I started buying fresher, harder nutmegs the difficulties I'd been having stopped altogether. It was really that simple. When a nut has stopped shaving (at about an eighth inch thickness) I take it out and put a fresh nut in. Once that nut has been ground flat on the bottom I can return the previous partial to the chamber, putting it below the newly flatted nut, and it continues grinding until almost completely spent. The last of it comes out in a couple of chunks, but they're smaller than I'd want to shave on a microplane or grater with my fingers.

I give the grinder 4 stars only because it (like other Wm. Bounds devices) is fiddly to clean.

I saw this grinder on display at a small kitchenware shop and gave it a few turns. It easily produced a cloud-like drift of the thinnest possible nutmeg shavings! Of course, I bought one, but mine never worked remotely as well. It had all the problems described at length by other reviewers -the spring slipping, the need to constantly readjust, not being capable of grinding the whole bean, seemingly not sharp enough. It was so different from the demo grinder that I contacted William Bounds and they sent me a replacement. It was to no avail. Wm. Bounds company advises putting the nutmeg into the receptacle, and then turning it upside down to screw the top on. I've faithfully done this, with marginal results and this action must be repeated many times during the life of one nutmeg bean. Apparently, some people have gotten a good model, which means that Wm. Bounds should really be taken to task for their poor quality control. I see that Peugeot is producing a similar grinder, and it may be worth trying. Or, since Wm. Bounds guarantees their products for life, I might just send this one back and try again. There is a $6 shipping fee; mail to: Wm. Bounds, Ltd., Attn: Repairs, 3737 W. 240th St., Torrance CA 90505 with your grinder, the description of the problem ("doesn't work"), your return address. Or there is always a little microplane grater at a much lower price, which works wonderfully.

Honest reviews on William Bounds Nut Twister Nutmeg Mill, Chrome

I could take or leave the nutmeg that you get in a shaker jar. But I absolutley love fresh ground! I put it in my coffee, and if a dessert calls for ground nutmeg I'll grind it fresh. That is why I was thrilled to find a nutmeg mill of this quality.

This nutmeg mill works very well. I didn't get it here, I got it at a local kitchen shop, and I have never regretted the purchase! Very easy to use. Loading it is not a problem: you just turn the top counterclockwise to open it up, press the nutmeg onto the little prongs, and put it back together by pressing down on the spring and turning it clockwise. The spring inside keeps the nutmeg coming even as you've worn the piece down. However, once the piece of nutmeg is worn down to a few millimeters in thickness, the spring doesn't work as well anymore and the ground nutmeg will come out more slowly. I usually take the sliver of nutmeg out and put a new one in when that occurs. That's the only problem I've ever had with this wonderful little gadget. And it's been in my stash of kitchen gadgets for three or four years now.

My bread pudding, spice cookes, peach cobbler, and all other desserts that call for nutmeg have never gotten better reviews than when I use this great tool. Granted, everyone loved my desserts before that, but since I switched to fresh ground nutmeg, people have enjoyed my baking even more.

In short, it's the best fancy gadget I've ever purchased for my kitchen. And I've really enjoyed having it in my coffee: it gives your home-brewed cup of joe that special "ritzy coffee shop" feel. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys baking or anyone who loves fancy coffee.

This nutmeg grinder looks nice, but only works about 5% of the time. You can grind until you're blue in the face and nothing happens. Unless you want to spend your day taking the nutmeg out, readjusting it and hoping something will happen, buy something else.

As always, a great price and fast delivery from Amazon. This Fiesta cookware is rarely seen in my local stores and a great value when purchased in the 11-piece set. If you are trying to coordinate with your scarlet-colored Fiestaware, this works perfectly. I was interested in the Thermolon non-stick surface with these pans, as I was looking for an alternative to teflon coating. I've found if you follow the instructions and get the pans cleaned in a timely manner, the non-stick works just fine for me. A nice value if purchased at $199 or below, the full MSRP of $349 may be too much to pay for the set.

After too many times of having my hot lids stick to each other and have to handled, struggled with, or just give up until later, I bought this gadget. There are some things we don't need when canning. We can live without the funnel. We can probably live without the lifter tool. I'm not sure I want to live without this item. You can slide your rings down the handle while you are getting organized. you can even put the whole thing, with rings, down into your hot water. You pick up the lids by the edges, never have to touch the inside of the lid. A great and useful tool.

Have been making jelly for 40 years. Used to use one of those magnetic sticks to get the lids out of the hot water. Bought this exact model a couple of years ago. Love it. Will never go back. Don't have to stand over the steaming pot to locate the lids, and the wooden handle never gets hot.

Let's face it, we can sterilize our canning lids without this. But using tongs is slow, and can be a pain when you have a dozen lids to pick up. This sturdy, well-made little device makes sterilizing lids quicker and frustration-free, at a very fair price. Highly recommended.

Honest reviews on Norpro Canning Lid Rack

I canned without one of these last year, and while it can be done, this thing was worth the money. I no longer have to mess with the tongs and the lids sticking together in the pan. I used to boil a kettle of water seperately on the stove to use in my pressure cooker while I was sterilizing my lids in a shallow saucepan. Then I'd basically waste the water out of the "lid" pan and dump the boiling water from the kettle into the canner. This took two of my burners and valuable canning space. Now I use a larger pan for my lids (especially for wide mouth) since you need about 2-1/2 quarts of water to cover this thing with lids in. Now I save myself a step by simmering the lids, capping the jars, and then dump the water from the "lid" pan into the canner. Water saved as well. The color of the metal does darken with use, and I wish this was stainless steel. I think it will last awhile anyway since all you do is dip it in water, but stainless would have been nice. It holds more than enough lids for a full load. Everyone who cans with me wants one. Great item. Not a necessity, but it gets the job done faster and easier with less burnt fingers!

Not the greatest quality and it doesn't work with the Tattler lids. Still works with the disposable lids though. I think I like the magnetic wand better.

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

Customer Ratings:

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.

I bought one of these in a local store and loved it so much I went back to find more. Not enough variety, so I went on Amazon and bought here.

Gave one to my sister when I went to visit. She said her husband was occupied for half the night trying it on various bowls/vases/cups... The amazing thing is that you just put it on the bowl and can immediately lift the whole bowl just by pulling up on the center flower, but if you lift from the edge, you'd swear that there was no seal at all.

Yesterday, my nephew and his fiance stopped by my sister's house to borrow a tennis racquet. My sister said he, too, spent 20 minutes playing with it. His birthday is coming up soon...

I haven't actually used it to keep food fresh yet, but enjoy looking at them hanging on the fridge.

I purchased this item to use on the turkey that I roasted for dinner, this past Thanksgiving. It's well designed, and sturdy enough. I used it on a 14 lb bird, and would not necessarily think that it would work for a very large turkey. But for this size, it made it very easy to lift the turkey out of the roasting pan, without a problem. The chrome finish is heavy, and the rack washed easily. Very satisfied.

I used this for a turkey weighing just under 14 lbs. It fit easily, and the rack could probably accomodate a 16 lb bird. Note: position/balance of the turkey on the rack is important -to prevent a hot bird from unintentionally slipping off the rack when lifing it. Do a "test-lift" BEFORE placing in the roaster and adjust the position as necessary.
