I like this bowl, but unfortunately don't love it. The pedestal portion isn't as high as it looked in the photos. I enjoy it -just like all my other FIestaware -but it's not as impressive as I'd hoped.

I think I had to order & return it twice before I got a bowl that wasn't broken in shipping. Thankfully, the return was easy. And, seeing how easily it broke while shipping has caused me to be very careful about how I use the bowl. This isn't for day-to-day use at our house. I keep it for special occasions only.

This is a very sturdy, pretty serving bowl. I got it just recently and have just used it once so far, but I`m sure it will be put to good use from now on. It performed well from table through dishwasher. I have not, as yet, had it in the oven, but hot food put into it stayed warm well. It is a very nice addition to my other Fiesta dishware.

Customer Ratings:

Bearing in mind that for this really "cheap" price, it's a great product for $13.00! Yes, you can get each individual knife at the 99-cent store and they will be about the same quality. But by buying them this way, all together, all the knives will match! And you get the storage block for free. And they cut as well at something five times the price. Will they impress your mother-in-law? No. Will they do the job for which they are intended and last long enough for you to get bored with them? Yes. They're a good buy! -PS: Here's a repeat of a great hint I learned here: Do NOT cut or chop and then use the blade to SCRAPE your edibles off the cutting board. That dulls the blade quickly and sounds awful. Instead, simply cut or chop and then quickly turn the knife over and use the flat edge to scrape everything off the board.

I bought this set for my son 10-months ago and surprisingly, he said the knives have held up really well. Still sharp and he said the same about the kitchen scissors. Not bad for the price!

Honest reviews on Sunbeam 70329.13 Westmont 13-Piece Cutlery Set

For thousands of years man has needed a tool with which to cut his food. Humans do not have sharp teeth like sharks so we need a tool that has a sharp blade. Last month I began a quest for an affordable and durable set of knives which would have most of the knives I would need for a long distance journey to a far away land on Amazon.

This virtual consumer jungle is filled with many types of knives and knife sets. Each product page promises that you shall become a true kitchen warrior if you purchase their product. Since I only needed to use this knife set continuously for 2-3 months I was willing to sacrifice some quality for quantity. I was not willing to spend more than $20, I had set spending limits for myself.

For a few seconds I considered buying the Miracle Blade knife set, but not a single knife in that set looks normal. They only seem to offer "mutant" versions of "normal" knives like cleavers, chef's knives, and steak knives. They also offer "mutant" forked bread knives, which probably bend when used like forks and when cutting the strange blade design probably becomes an obstruction.

I decided I would buy this Sunbeam Westmont 13 Piece Cutlery Set. The price was right and there were no negative reviews. This set also seemed to have most of the knives I wanted. I am an average guy with limited cooking skills, not a professional culinary specialist.

There are a total of 6 different knives in this set:

Chef's knife (1)

Bread knife (1)

Boning knife (1)

Utility knife (1)

Paring knife (1)

Steak knife (6)

11 knives, plus a pair of basic scissors/shears identical to those sold with at least 3-4 other knife sets(including the Miracle Blade sets), and a very basic wood block. I wish this set had a Japanese style chef's knife, I have never owned one of these but they seem to be designed for my needs.

In the past I have used mainly only 3 types of knives on a regular/daily basis. Bread knives, steak knives, and paring/peeling knives. Until I bought this set I did not use a chef's knife.

ALL of the blades on the knives in this set are "serrated", which means they have miniature cutting edges that look like teeth, like a hand saw. Normally only bread and steak knives have serrated blades. Here they are not only serrated but unconventionally serrated, by this I mean the "teeth" are very small and there is almost no space between them. The sharp points stick out and are very thin. The "teeth" were cut out only on one side, although both sides appear to have been sharpened. It is impossible to sharpen these knives(at home) because of the way the blade is designed, which means when these knives become dull(and that is a question of when not if) they will have to be thrown away.

The knives are not made from the best stainless steel as the price would suggest. After a month of use some are already developing yellow and grey stains(which I try to scrub off soon after finding them), and I don't use dish-washers.

I have not used the boning knife yet. I use the steak knives and utility knife for the same tasks (since the utility knife is just a larger steak knife), mainly cutting meats(sausages), vegetables(tomatoes), and such. I mostly cut up larger objects like potatoes with the chef's knife, I have to point out that this task takes some downward force to accomplish. The bread knife has received minimal use since I do not buy those long French/Italian breads and I use the chef's knife for many of the tasks I used to use the bread knife for. The paring/peeling knife has become a "butter" knife, because I have had difficulty peeling potatoes with it(probably because of the serrated blade). Sometimes I had to "saw" the skins off of the potato and it seemed to take too long. So I bought a separate paring knife(ProCook Professional Paring Knife) which has a blade better suited for peeling fruits or vegetables.

I expected I would not get a $300 value knife set for $15. Other sets sell for a price 3-4 times higher and from the reviews it is obvious they are the same or similar quality as this set. I think this set deserves around 3 to 3.5 stars.

I admit that I was sceptical when I first saw this knife set advertised, but since I've used it, I think it's a great value. I use it daily, but I would recommend hand washing each knife and drying before it sits and rusts. Although, I haven't seen any evidence of rust yet.

Cuisinart EM-100 1000-Watt 15-Bar Espresso Maker, Stainless Steel Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $325.00
Sale Price: $178.95

I purchased this machine at a Kohl's for roughly $220. I think it's of an exceptional quality for the price.

Positives: #1 Well built (it's actually quite heavy)

#2 easy to use, filters allow for a single or double shot to be made also comes with a pod filter but I've never used it

#3 large water reservoir that has allowed me to make 4 or 5 espressos and steam milk too

#4 comes with a DVD that teaches you how to use it (much easier than reading the booklet) this is especially helpeful if you're new at making your own drinks

#5 easy to clean

#6 has a warming plate on top (good if you need to make more than one double shot cups or two single shot cups

#7 espresso has a good taste (although I think this has as much to do with the quality of the coffee you're using) The machine actually does produce a good amount of crema for the price you pay

#8 Stainless steel frothing picture is just the right size for one latte or two cappucinos

#9 15 bar pump allows for more than enough pressure and for great taste.

#10 has a feature that allows you to get plain old hot water too if someone isn't interested in the espresso and wants tea/cocoa/whatever

Negatives: #1 the steam nozzle is too long you kind of have to tilt the pitcher to get the nozzle out this isn't a problem so long as you know so you can use less milk or you can place the machine so the nozzle can be used on a non-countered space. The nozzle has a good range of movement so this does help counteract.

#2 the distance between the portafilter (where the coffee comes out) and the drip tray is not very tall I've found that I have to use a smaller cup to brew and then dump it into a larger cup if I'm going to make a latte and want to fit in a decent amount of frothed milk.

#3 you have to be really careful to not overtamp your grounds or you'll end out with coffee everywhere this machine is a little pickier than I expected (and pickier than the really cheap machine this replaced). But, with that said, the taste is 100x better. You can catch it if you overtamp too so long as you closely monitor and make sure the water is coming out of the portafilter at a decent rate. If you overtamp, barely anything drips out. After a while you figure out how much is too much.

#4 my biggest complaint, and this one is quite dangerous There's not a great way of knowing that pressure has been released this means that once your espresso is made and you're ready to clean out the coffee grounds you have to be really really careful or it'll explode the hot coffee grinds all over you and your kitchen. I've been seriously burned a couple of times. It might not be a problem if you're used to espresso machines (I wasn't when I first bought this one) or you learn to be super extra careful always.

We had a Krups combo coffee pot/espresso machine and after several espresso calamities in a row, I gave up and got this Cuisinart. So far it has been great! It seems that there used to be only basic espresso makers or extremely expensive ones on the market, with nothing in between. But the Cuisinart satisfies the coffee connoisseur on a budget by making truly wonderful espresso and more.

One of my frustrations with our last model was the "perfect froth" tip, which was disastrous to say the least. I just need a basic steam wand and I can take it from there, and the Cuisinart fits the bill it steamed and frothed my milk easily and quickly. Just be careful to use less milk than you might think, because the volume doubles in no time. I'll probably switch to a larger pitcher than the one that comes with the Cuisinart, though it's fine to start out.

A couple tips to get started: the instructions say the heating light should come on right away, but it didn't for me until I switched the small knob to the droplet icon (as opposed to the middle neutral position). I figured this out by watching the video, which I recommend as the instruction manual is pretty bare. It's also good to see how much pressure one should use to tamp the grounds.

The only negative thing I can say is that the warming tray doesn't seem to get very warm, but I do like being able to store my cups on top anyway (more space in the cabinets now, plus a certain café aesthetic is always nice), so I don't mind. Positives are that it's fast, it's quiet, everything is sturdy and well designed (and clicks or locks solidly in place so you know things are seated correctly), and the espresso is truly café quality an enormous difference from the more basic espresso machines on the market.

UPDATE: Since this review I have had some experiences with clogging. Cuisinart customer service was totally unhelpful, but here's what I do to remedy the situation:

1. As soon as you notice espresso isn't coming out, turn off the machine, take off the basket (you may have to wait for the pressure to subside), rinse it out well, and fill the machine with water.

2. Scrub the underside of the metal grid that the filter basket attaches to with a damp cloth.

3. Reattach just the basket with no filter. Heat water and run that through to get any clogs in the upper part of the machine. I fill up a milk pitcher. Then turn the big black dial to neutral, add the empty filter to the basket, and repeat. As long as water starts running through that ok it should be all right. I hope it works for you!

I like my coffee. In fact, I freely admit to being a coffee addict. And before I say anything else, let me say that this machine makes great coffee. With the right beans and a bit of practice, you can beat the taste of any coffee shop with this.

That said, I am glad, I still have my french press, because sometimes this machine decides to be difficult. It usually starts if you tamp your coffee too hard. The coffee maker is then unable to pass water through and ceases up completely. Make sure you watch what you are doing, so you can stop it from trying if necessary. Now, the real problem with this is, that you will have a very hard time removing the basket, as long as there is still pressure inside. It takes somewhere between 5-10 minutes at least, before the pressure has gone down enough, that you can pry the basket off (watch for exploding coffeegrounds, if you didn't wait long enough).

To make matters worse, the machine seems to have a hard time recovering after an incident such as this. It seems to get even pickier, with what it will accept, and it will be easier to resort to the backup plan, and let the espresso machine recover.

I would rate the EM-100 a 5/5, if it weren't for this problem. I hardly apply any strength, when I tamp my coffee, and I still run into trouble from time to time. In fact, the first one I had got so picky, that I took it back to the store and exchanged it.

To minimize my risk, I take great care to clean every bit of the coffee maker after each use. If you can live with this issue, the coffee that comes out of this machine really is to die for.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart EM-100 1000-Watt 15-Bar Espresso Maker, Stainless Steel

Use it at least twice daily with both ESE pods and ground espresso. It really is a nice machine. If you are like some other reviewers and have problems with coffee grounds blowing out over the kitchen after you are done then you are likely tamping them too hard or using a grind that's too fine. Easiest way for a first time user is to buy some coffee in ESE (easy serve espresso) pods from the internet and feel it to see how hard the coffee is tamped in the pod. Cut it open and see how finely it is ground. Go to the grocery store and grind a pound of your favorite roast to about the same grind. At my grocery store the second or the third finest setting works fine. You can use your own grinder but a good burr type grinder costs some money and the less expensive blade grinders are useless for espresso. Tamp it to about the same hardness as the pod was. It makes wonderful espresso with lots of crema on top. I've never had an issue with grounds or steam blowing out after I release the pot--even with the machine on and waiting just until the coffee stops dripping to detatch it. I don't see how you could go wrong, but some obviously do.

This one looks nice. It works well. Has a self-priming pump (a good feature that alot don't include). It comes with a tamper, a stainless-steel frothing cup, filter holders for pods, single, and double shots. It also includes 2 tolls to clean the little holes the espresso is pumped through. It comes with pretty much everything you would end up buying for it in the first year. I have a water softener so scale will never be a problem but you would want to descale it once in a while if you don't use distilled water. The only thing I wish it had was a dial thermometer so I could watch the water temp more closely. I believe that it has an aluminum boiler. I would prefer brass but you just can't get it at this price. The pump makes some noise but not more than any other I've used. Steam espresso machines are cheaper, much quieter but burn the coffee and it doesn't taste nearly as good.

Overall, very good product, easy to use and the best value by far at this price.

The Cuisinart EM 100 is a true bargain and a great espresso maker. Over the past 15 years I've purchased two Krups and one Capresso in the $250 range. Neither brand was capable of processing an espresso grind. They usually blocked up and let no water past the grinds. I had to resort to using drip grind coffee. The Cuisinart does a great job processing an espresso ground coffee, leaves a fine crema, steamer works perfectly and is a breeze to clean up. Its built like a tank, looks cool and I'm totally surprised and satisfied with its performance.

Cheap Ecolution Evolve Fry Pan, 11-Inch, Red

Customer Ratings:

I feel I need to be cautious, however, and maybe will review this Review several months from now. I had purchased one of the 'green' type of pans (ceramic?) earlier this year and right after purchase I could not say enough good things about it. However, after just a couple of months, it kept getting stickier and stickier (regardless of conditioning with oil) and in maybe 4-5 months after purchase it went straight to the trash.

These 'Ecolution' pans feel great, look great, and so far they cook great seems to be even heat, the handles are silicone and do not get hot, and they are truly nonstick. If their nonstick-ness (?) wears off quickly I'll come back and update the rating and review, but so far I'd have to say I am quite pleased with the purchase. Oh, and they look great too!

My only possible complaint would be that the color of the photo on Amazon seems a really deep red, almost a reddish-purple. The pans aren't quite that deep in color, maybe more of a deep red, almost a bit of a brownish-red as opposed to a purple-red. Not a big deal, they are still red :) but I have no other 'con'.

Ecolution manufactures environment-friendly cookware. Environment-friendly how? Well, until recently a lot of non-stick cookware used PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) in its production. This chemical is considered to be toxic and a carcinogen, and takes a very, very a long time to break down in the environment. Ecolution uses a water-based system that eschews PFOA.

So far, I have been very impressed with this pan. It is nice and heavy, and so far it works beautiful with no sticking when cooking. It heats up quickly, and the silicone handle is comfortable and stays nicely cool. What can I say? I like it!

Very disappointed and returned almost same day. Handle was wobbly and required a screw being tightened. Went to use it for the first time and well before it was boiling (no steam was being emitted and the whistle was not blowing), I tried to pick up the handle and it was uncomfortably hot I'd hate to know how hot it gets when it really boils!! Very impractical and a safety hazard. Color and style looked good but not functional.

I wanted a red tea kettle. This one was a nice read, great shape and honestly the right price...BUT IT SUCKS!

I was very impressed with the pan when I received it. The build quality is good, the size is perfect, and the nonstick coating (ceramic, I was told) looked like it would last forever. But after a couple of months the pan started to stick no matter how I clean it.

I had been using Analon and Circulon nonstick cookware for quite some years. The Teflon nonstick coating eventually all wears out after a year or so. I was looking for some nonstick that would last a bit longer. Not with Beka pan.

The best luck I have had with nonstick coating is Excalibur used by Farberware stainless cookware. The Teflon sprayed on the rugged steel surface does protect it from wearing out quickly. I still have a few pieces left from a set I bought more than 10 years ago.

Lekue Multifunction Suction Lid Review

Customer Ratings:

I've had several silicone "lids" for round containers for several years. This rectangular lid is perfect for the standard 9 x 11 inch baking dishes and saves the awkward wrapping with plastic wrap or for oven use, aluminum foil.

It keeps splatters from both microwave and oven and even works over two loaf pans placed close to each other. (Kept meatloaf from drying on top.)

I'm sure others will find many more uses for this versatile cover. I've ordered two more just in case they discontinue this one (something that seems to happen every time I find a product that to me is essential!)

I recommend it without hesitation.

I wanted this to boil potatoes, and it does that, but it's so hard to scrub the potato starch out of the mesh that I use a completely different mashed potato recipe. Buy the pasta insert instead with holes punched in a solid panel of metal, which should do everything you'd want from the mesh insert. By the way after years of professional and amateur bartending and catering I rate this as the BEST ICE BUCKET EVER. User-friendly and keeps ice frozen for hours, and doubles as a cooking pot the rest of the year. However, my recommendation to buy the hole-punched pasta insert still applies for the same reasons.

Seriously, though, BEST ICE BUCKET EVER.

Excellent pot for large batches of pasta or veggies or anything you want to boil. You could likely choose to use it to deep fry, as well , but I have the all clad deep frying basket for that.

I've revised my rating and review to : DON'T BOTHER With a pasta cooking pot that discolors after boiling water!!!!!

------Original Review--------

This pot comes with a Aluminum Cookware Care & Maintenance sheet. I highly recommend following the instructions.

Also make sure you have pot holders as this pot does get hot !

This pot easily accommodates Update International APSA-INS Stainless Steel Pasta Cooker Insert, Quarter inserts for portion control, however this is the pot only. It takes up a huge portion of your stove top so unless you have an industrial size stove I would recommend looking for something smaller.
