The product arrived as promised. I use it for my homemade smoker and it works great for hanging meat. Have used it about 30 times since purchased and while dirty it has not corroded or rusted in any way. I would buy this product again

The actual product length is about 5 inches from curve to curve, and 9 inches from pointed tip to flat tip. Item length was not properly described on seller's product page and what I received was different from what I expected, yet seller still expects me to pay shipping and handling both ways, and a restocking fee. Very unhappy.

This 7pc set is an amazing example of All-Clad quality. The 5 layers alternating of steel and aluminum produce incredible results. However, when this item was added to Amazon, the description entered was incorrect. In the description it says you will receive:

7-Piece Set includes: 10" fry pan. 3-qt. sauté pan with lid. 4-qt. saucepan with lid. 7-qt. stockpot with lid. Please note: lids are counted as individual pieces.

When in fact the set includes:

10" fry pan; 1.5-quart sauce pan with lid; 3-quart saute pan with lid; 8-quart stock pot with lid

You may confirm this on All-Clad's website.

I just wanted to make that clear in case someone receives this set and thinks they received the wrong items.

Other than that, this set is top notch!

Best Sunbeam 70329.13 Westmont 13-Piece Cutlery Set Deals

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.

This is why I love it: I can line up 5 cherry tomatoes, and with ONE move downwards, chop them all in half!! No tomatoes escaped, slipped, moves, I just had 10 perfect halves! Now, that is both sharp and useful!!! Besides, it cuts beautifully through everything soft, buns, fruits, whatever, with zero effort and no need to go back and forth. And the handle is SUPER comfortable. Absolutely love it!

ADDED LATER:

I just love this knife so much, I needed to praise it AGAIN. I was joking to my spouse that if one had to be monogamous with knives, this knife would be my one and only... It's truly an "all-in-one" knife in so many ways. I use it to prepare sandwiches in the morning, cut the crust off, and cut the bread into little squares for my toddler. No problem. I use it to slice through stuff. No problem. I use it to chop when it's already in my hand and I don't feel like dirtying my chef's knife for some minimal chopping. No problem. I use the blunt edge to get things spread evenly (e.g. jam on bread). No problem. I use it to cut pie pr pizza. No problem. It's just one lovely, comfortable, knife. I got it on a cyber monday deal ($100), and is was totally worth while. But knowing it now, I'd easily pay $140 for it (the current price). (Not that I mind having paid less, of course... :)

Reviews of BODUM Schiuma Turbo Milk Whip

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $19.00
Sale Price: $12.99
Today's Bonus: 32% Off

The Mr. Coffee Milk Frother, BODUM Schiuma Milk Whip and Aerolatte Milk Frother appear to be the 3 most popular milk frothers in the under $20 range. I've had all three and currently have two remaining. The Bodum died after 2 months. All run on 2 AA batteries. Regardless of which one you decide, don't set your expectations too high as all three have drawbacks.

I was quite pleased with the Bodum Schiuma. As far as torque, the Bodum appears to be the best of the three. I was able to whip up a good amount of froth when mixing up to 10-oz of milk. So if cappuccinos are your thing, then the Bodum is a strong contender. Although inconveniently placed on the top, the Bodum has a real on/off switch. Inconvenient meaning it's slightly tough to get to turn off. Many time this will result in you accidentally lifting the frother from the milk resulting in milk flying everywhere. As far as reliability, I can't give the Bodum a good rating. It died after 2 months of use.

Now needing another frother and not wanting to wait for one to come through the mail, I purchased the Mr. Coffee frother from one of those big box stores for $10. Compared to the Bodum and Aerolatte, the Mr. Coffee finishes a distant third. The Mr. Coffee will polish the milk nicely and produce a very nice micro-film. If Lattes or Macchiatos are your drinks of choice, the Mr. Coffee will do the job as both drinks call for little foam. However, expect to whip up enough milk for one drink at a time. The Mr. Coffee begins to bog down when trying to mix up more than 4-oz of milk. At 8-oz, the Mr. Coffee can't cut the mustard. It will take a good 60-80 seconds to produce an acceptable polish and little foam. At more than 8-oz of milk, the Mr. Coffee is totally worthless. Also, that big on/off switch is nothing more than a cheap contact switch, and it's very, very touchy. If the wind blows, the frother starts. Many times this means it starts when you don't intend it to and like the Bodum, you get a milk shower.

Now wanting something to move more volume, I ordered the Aerolatte through Amazon. If the Aerolatte had the Bodums torque, it would be the overall best of the three. Unfortunately, the torque is just slightly less. At 4-oz of milk, the Aerolatte will quickly polish and create a nice micro-foam. With a few seconds more and no effort, it will produce a thicker foam for those cappuccinos. At 8-oz, the Aerolatte struggles just slightly at the start but quickly rebounds. Count on mixing for at least 60-seconds before getting a high volume of cappuccino style foam. But even at that, results are inconsistent. On one try I might get good volume, and the next, poor volume. So 7-oz is about the maximum amount the Aerolatte can handle and produce acceptable results.

In my honest opinion, all three frothers are poorly made. Only the Aerolatte has any feel of quality, and even that isn't much to write home about. I've been itching to try another Bodum due to the impressive torque, but have held off as I want to leave the battery operated department and move to an electric mixing stick with a frother attachment. Currently, I'm using Ni-Cad batteries in both my remaining frothers to insure maximum charge as a small drop in battery power greatly affects performance. If you're considering any of these frothers, then you also need to seriously consider buying rechargeable batteries and a charger. However, by the time you add up the costs for all of this stuff, you may just want to consider a mixing stick. 120 volts of electric versus 3 volts of battery power is a huge difference, especially if you're going to be making more than two drinks.

I was concerned that the Bodum Whip was cheaply made and would use up a lot of batteries. I was wrong on both accounts I have been using it for the past three years, and changed the batteries only one time. I found it to be extremely durable and easy to clean. It makes great tasting, coffee house style coffee drinks.

Best Deals for BODUM Schiuma Turbo Milk Whip

I'd read about frothers running out the batteries too soon or not having enough power to forth well. This inexpensive little frother has been one of my favorite purchases of the past year.

I heat a few ounces of milk in a tall glass, then use the frother to whip it up. It makes a thicker, denser foam than the steamers at the cafes--yummm. I spoon that over a very strong french roast and add a little ground connamon on top....no more spending $3.50 for a latte. It costs me about 40 cents to make my own, and I use both organic coffee and organic milk, so a better product for a lot less money.

I've used it plenty of times and am still on those first batteries with no loss of frothing power. Though even if I had to spend 50 cents every couple of months for batteries, this would still be a tremendous convenience and bargain. Can't imagine why people would get anything more expensive.

Honest reviews on BODUM Schiuma Turbo Milk Whip

We'd previously owned a BonJour "Primo Latte" milk frother that died after about nine months of just-about-daily use. That was disappointing, and I didn't want to be replacing the frother that often, so I thought we'd try another brand. The BODUM frother has done the job just fine, but it definitely has less power than the BonJour model we'd been using. The self-standing design of this frother is really nice, though. The tipsy stand that came with the BonJour model was kinda more trouble that it was worth...

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for BODUM Schiuma Turbo Milk Whip

This is just a 2 AA battery powered motor with a whisk on the shaft. It's an excellent tool to have to whip a small amount of cream, stir a hot drink, foam milk etc. However, the Bodum product is cheaply made. The batteries are held in by the top cap, which is secured by plastic tabs to the body. Predictably, the tabs break and both the battery retention and activation button fail. I am buying another one but will get a different brand because the Bodum was so poorly made. Bodum makes some great glass products, especially out of Portugal and I respected the name, but this product is junk.

Reviews of Johnson-Rose Hamburger Patty Paper, Pack of 1500

Customer Ratings:

The only wax paper I have ever used has been the type on a roll. These wax paper squares seem slightly thinner than the roll paper, but they are still sturdy and should do their job well. My complaint is that, unlike the photo above, the paper did not come in a marked box with a dispenser opening. It came wrapped in plain, white paper (like butcher's paper) so that will make it slightly more difficult to store and use. I'm going to try putting it in a plastic sandwich container just to make sure it stays clean, dry and organized.

As the description states, there are holes on two corners so that the paper can be used on a spindle. So I guess they expected that everyone would hang the entire bundle of paper from a spindle and a box wasn't necessary. Bummer.

I do not know much about different wax paper. But I found that these are a lot easier to work with then regular wax paper when you are using it to divide hamburger patties for freezing. A definite must if you are using a hamburger press I tried using an aluminum hamburger press without having the wax paper already on the press and could not get the hamburger off the press without ruining the patty.

After opening the box, my item, which should have been securely and safely wrapped, was open on 2 sides. Ironically, the sticker on the item says, "Maximum outer protection keeps out harmful contaminants." Really? How do you keep contaminants out of an opened package?

As far as my purpose goes for using the patty papers, they are intended to be an instrument in geometry exploration with middle schoolers. True to form, the patty papers did what I expected them to do, and the students enjoyed using them. Do I have the 1500 that I should have? I have no idea because the package looked like it was opened and used prior to arrival.

I'm very disappointed with how this company shipped this item and will think twice before purchasing again. I will probably spend a little more money and make my next purchase from a reputable supplier. At least I'll know I'm getting exactly what I'm paying for.

I'd NEVER use these as hamburger patty separators, seeing how they were contaminated during packaging and shipping.

Honest reviews on Johnson-Rose Hamburger Patty Paper, Pack of 1500

I wish the manufacturer would consider packaging these in a box instead of simply wrapping them in paper.

Also, as another reviewer mentioned these have small holes punched in the corners, presumably to put on a spindle. For household use why not save a production step and sell without the holes.

Not much to say about this it's paper that helps keep your burger patties separate. I did find that if I stack raw patties (or pork chops) with the paper between each and then froze them the paper tended to stick to the frozen meat. A quick hit of cooking spray on each side of the paper resolved that problem.

This item part 50332 is the 3 piece weight set needed to convert a Presto 16 or 23 quart pressure canner from a gauged to a weighted canner. However the picture used here and the description are grossly inaccurate. This is a 3 piece weight set of 5-10-15 pound weights. 2 parts are rings (only one pictured) that slip on to the 3rd stemmed piece which sits on the steam valve. It is an excellent product for those who do alot of pressure canning. Too bad the photo and description are so misleading as they will only create confusion and cause lost sales.

Honest reviews on Presto Pressure Canner Pressure Regulator

I honestly don't understand why Presto doesn't package this as standard with their pressure cookers and pressure canners instead of the fixed 15 pound weight. This weight lets me choose between 5 lb, 10 lb, and 15 lb. It is perfect for me. When I can tomatoes at 11 pounds, I use the 10 pound weight and it works perfectly. The pressure rises to 11 pounds and starts releasing. This way I don't have to be quite as diligent with my flame since it will exhaust the excess without generating excess pounds. BTW, I process/can tomatoes with a pressure canner instead of water bath because it's faster (uses less natural gas) and the pressure canner fits on the stove better than the big water bath pot, especially when I'm using the other burners.

If you have a Presto pressure cooker or pressure canner, you really need this. It's a shame they don't include it instead of the fixed weight that comes with their equipment.

Also, I should note that my Presto pressure canner has a port for the weight as well as the dial gauge. I recommend the canner with a gauge. That way, you can use the weight to regulate while also viewing the pressure so you know exactly what is going on. You are also able to tell that your gauge is calibrated or not based on how it reads with respect to the size weight you are using.

If you are buying a pressure canner, make sure you get the model with the gauge. It's only a few dollars more. Be careful, the model at WalMart may not have the gauge. I bought my canner on Amazon. It's a model 1755.

For less than $100 this set is very good value for money. If you have an induction cooktop, this is certainly one of the cheapest sets you can buy.

Pro's:

1/ Very good non-stick. I have had my set for over a year and they just wipe out with a dishcloth. They are dishwasher safe, although I rarely bother as it's so easy to do them by hand.

2/ Value for money with two frying pans, three saucepans plus dutch oven.

Con's:

1/ The pan's are small, which I mostly find useful, but you may find yourself wishing for a 12" frying pan and a 4 quart saucepan on occasion.

2/ The bases have warped on the 3 quart pan and the 10" fry pan. This is a minor annoyance on my induction cooktop, as perfect contact is unnecessary. My guess is that the same would be true for gas, but this would be an issue for those with regular electric cooktops.

I would probably buy t-fal again, but I would be tempted to upgrade to Circulon Infinite, which has much heavier bases not subject to warping. Basically you get what you pay for, as Circulon is considerably more expensive than t-fal.

We purchased this cookware after reading the above review stating that it works on induction cooktops AND after it came up under a search for "induction cookware". Well, after waiting way too long for this to arrive (it took acehardware outlet over a week to ship it out) we found that it does not, in fact, work on induction. The box itself states that it is "suitable for all heat sources except induction." They are hard anodized aluminum.

Overall, the cookware seemed nice enough nice comfy grips, not-too-heavy, and glass lids. They just aren't what we were hoping for.

We have used T-fal cookware for many years. Our last set lasted 10 years and we donated it to charity and purchased a new set. What we like about T-fal is the quality and it seems to last forever. We love the glass lids so you can see what is in the different pots and what is going on in the pot. The venting system built into the lids for the steam outlet is perfect. The glass lids are rugged and sturdy and we have never broken one. The lids are made of tempered glass.

We always make sure to use nonmetal cooking utensils and this protects the finish in the cookware. The non-stick surface is just great and clean-up is easy on the inside and outside of the cookware. The cookware is rated dishwasher safe but we always hand wash ours and it looks new for years. The professional series of cookware features riveted silicone handles that are even oven safe up to 350° F.

I have seen several comments that this cookware can be used on induction stoves and this is not true. The bases of the pans are made of a stainless steel disc base over a heavy gauge aluminum base that provides even heating and cooking. This combination of materials is not magnetic and induction heating will not work with these pans. The combination of the stainless steel disc and the aluminum base provides anti-warping protection for your cookware.

The red thermo spot on the base of the pan is ideal to tell when the surface of the pan has been preheated to allow you to begin cooking to help seal in the flavor of your food. We just love these pans and would not use another brand as we have had such satisfactory results with this brand. It is a great set of cookware and I recommend it to you as a 5 star product.

After about 8 months of use per instructions, the skillet has lost all nonstick qualities. It was very slick for the first several months but now we use it like an uncoated triply and as such, is one of the best. Quality construction, very even heat and perfectly flat, now it just sticks like crazy without lots of oil. It has never been in a dishwasher, overheated or seen a metal utensil. No visible scratches. Any ideas on restoring nonstick?

I have owned these pans for about 6 months. When I first got them they were very non stick. Wonderful. But as the months progressed the non stick started to degrade to the point where now it is hardly non stick anymore. I have NEVER used them dry. Only with a good oil or butter. I keep the heat on medium to low. In addition they chip very easily. Now before you blame me, I have never used anything but plastic or wood utensils and never stack them with other pots. But regardless they now have several small chips on the rim and in the middle of the pan. I am truly mystified as how it happened. But if it was my fault then they are super fragile as I am a very careful cook and have always treated them with great care. I am really bummed by this as I love the feel, weight and look of these pans. To return them to Zwilling from Hawaii is a very expensive undertaking and I am not sure if the manufacturer will replace them even if I do. I wish they lived up to the promise and I wish I could leave a 5 star review. I want to love these pans but they have failed in a very short time of using them only 2-3 times a week. Disappointed.

Worked great for four weeks and then food gradually began to stick to the point where the pans were unusable. Since they are guaranteed for life I contacted Henckel's customer service for replacements. I sent them back as requested and they determined the pans were "defective" and shipped replacement pans which I have received. It will be interesting to see if these perform any better......

According to many of the reviews above I am not the only one to have this issue. I suggest contacting their customer service at:

Honest reviews on Zwilling J.A. Henckels Spirit Frypan 2pack 8-inch and 10-inch

I bought the Zwilling J.A. Henckels pans to replace two Cuisinart ceramic non-stick pans of the same size. The Cuisinarts never lived up to their promise of a non-stick surface unless the pans were really well heated first and then coated with oil spread by a paper towel. And, as the Cuisinarts aged, their surface lost most of its non-stick properties.

I've had the Henckels for about a week, so I haven't had them for very long. Out of the box, the light blue ceramic coating is pretty. These pans heat up much faster and appear to heat more evenly than the Cuisinarts. My first test was chicken cutlets. Using very little oil, the chicken browned nicely without burning. By applying a little motion to the pan, the pieces of chicken slid easily in the pan. My ultimate test was two sunny side up fried eggs. I put a few drops of oil in the pan and spread it with a paper towel to coat the pan. Eggs went in and then, as the eggs started to cook, I added a tablespoon of water and covered the pan. In other pans, the addition of the water will cause the egg to stick. Not in the Henckels. I used a fork to gently release the edges of the cooked egg. The egg then slid out with a problem and without breaking the yolks.

I've been using them about once a day and have yet to have a problem with sticking. If there is some residue left in the pan (could be caramelized juices, cooked breading, etc.), it is easily removed without scrubbing.

I think that one trick is to coat the pan with a little oil spread with a paper towel. That should allow food to be released easily.

After reading some of the other reviews, I wonder if the non-stick surface will last the longer I use the pans. If that should happen, I'll update my review.

I cook a lot and I don't like to wash dishes.

To me, a great pan conducts heat evenly, can go through the dishwasher and comes out looking like new forever.

I use gas and the heat conductivity is such that I have to be careful, so watch your stuff, it will burn if you use the settings you used on your old pans.

I bought the 8, 10 and 12 inch size., Made crepes in the 8 inch pan yesterday, latkes in the 12 inch pan the other day and I brown thick rib eye steaks on top of the stove and finish them in the oven at 425 for a few minutes. They work like a charm.

MADE IN CHINA!! J.K. Adams make awesome wood products made here in the Great U.S. but purchase these hooks for their pot racks from China. Guess they never looked for a local forge shop to see if they could buy them here...

MADE IN CHINA! Based on the price, I thought what a good deal for hooks "Handcrafted and finished in Vermont, U.S.A".. well it's NOT.. came in plastic bag with with stickers in couple places made in China. Also, the weight is so light and so not worth it.

Needed new hooks, found these and they worked just fine.

Made in China but, hey, I have no choice.

Metal is heavy (not too heavy, mind you) and it holds my pots quite nicely. Very attractive looking.

Buy the rack, add the hooks. A perfect, simple system. My rack will hold a dozen pans. Seven are cast iron. My rack is PRW-01. PR-36 is similar. Hooks are PR-HK-02.J.K. Adams PRW-01 Wall Mounted Pot Rack, Natural

Simple, easy to install and use hooks for holding pot and pans or the J.K. rack itself. Looks great and fits into small tight spaces for those that don't have room to hang a big wide pot rack. this is a hanging pock rack with a pre 1970's kitchen in mind.

Purchased this to do muscadine grapes this year. This is awesome, in no time I had plenty of juice ready to be turned into jelly. No need to crush the grapes, just rinse, remove stems and put in colander basket. You can remove the middle pot and use this to steam veggies. Highly worth the cost, especially if you have to process a lot of fruit.

This is durable, effective, and easy to use! What more could you ask for? I have owned one for going on 20 years and the only thing I've ever had to replace is the drain tubing. The original tube was, I think, made of rubber because it rotted, but the new silicone hoses are much more durable. Honestly, folks, if you want an easy and effective way to obtain juice from your apples, berries, and even chickens (yes!) buy this! It's affordable, well made, and, as you can tell, I just can't say enough good words about it. You can't do better yes, you can PAY more, but why?

I highly recommend and endorse this product. I make juice every year. I can every year. I make jellies, I obtain stock for soup from chickens, and use the soup pot for a variety of purposes. I don't keep this downstairs with my canning equipment; it's an integral part of my kitchen. Make room on your shelf and buy one!

Did not get this Steamer/Juicer until the end of canning season this year. I tried it out on the last of the grapes and the last of the tomatoes. I was able to tidy up and organize my canning supplies as well as check over recipes while waiting for the Steamer to do it's magic. Using the bottom pan later for jams and sauces was a bonus. I was able to directly put the juice in hot jars and into the water bath canner. Using the bottom pan later for jams and sauces was a bonus. Cleans up easily. If clear juices without straining through cheesecloth is what you are after, this is a great addition to the canning kitchen !

Works just as described with less mess than trying to squeeze and strain by hand as I used to do. Gets all the juice out with all the flavor.

I didn't like this at all

I used this because someone said it was good for juicing pomegranates, wrong! The juice was terrible, I had to dump all the juice out it tasted so bad. I ended up buying a press juicer and it works great.
