Buy Wolfgang Puck Stainless Steel Cookware Set - 18 Pc

Customer Ratings:

I am not sure why the other reviews are complaining about this set. I have had the set for over a year and am very happy with it. Why waste your money at williams sanoma for ridiculously over-priced all clad cookware? This set is basically the generic version of the all clads, and the stainless steel is fine. I have never heard of butter turning steel black or rusting it, and "everything sticks"? Use some oil! Many of the complaints in reviews I have read are a result of user error.

These are decently heavy and have a nice thick bottom. The lips on the sauce pans allow for easy pouring. The lids are glass, so you can see inside while cooking. My friend is a professional chef and uses the same wolfgang puck cafe set in his own home, except his is the older set with the cheaper handles. The handles on this set are a drastic improvement and stay cool on the range.

My only complaint would be the rivets that hold the handle to the pot. They are not stainless and have dents and scratches on them (like I care). I have read other reviews that say they corrode when left overnight with acidic food in them. It seems pretty obvious that this is a bad idea no matter what kind of rivets the pan has. I have soaked these in the sink overnight with dish detergent and water and never had a problem.

Overall this is a great value for how much you get. These are not the top of the line pots and pans but they work perfectly fine for home cooking. The utensils that come with it are a little thin and bendable, but they are all stainless and I guess a nice little bonus. This set comes with a lot for the money. Just because a celebrity chef slaps their name on a product, or it comes from china, doesn't always mean its going to be poorly made.

My wife and I bought Wolfgang Puck's Bistro series a few years ago and were very impressed. So impressed that we bought a smaller Bistro Elite set to round out our cookware inventory.

The Bistro series were made out of true 18/10 stainless steel and one piece, tri-ply bottom, blanks. They were also fairly heavy gauge steel.

Recently she bought this set for a house we are renting in FL. After reading the box I wasn't sure but for $100.00 I figured we could try them.

These are what he calls the Cafe series. They are not 18/10 stainless and will probably corrode without diligent care. They are a much thinner guage of metal. My biggest concern was the bottoms. They are not an integral part of the piece but tack welded on to the finished pot. Also the aluminum disk inside has been reduced to a scant 4mm.

After using them for a month I will say they perform better than expected. They do heat up quickly and evenly so cooking with them is a pleasant experience. They are NOT non-stick but no stainless is. On the down side because they are so thin the handles do get hot very quickly. It's not a big deal as long as you remember to test the handle before grabbing it or use a pot holder. I have had no trouble cleaning them and haven't experienced the staining others have mentioned.

When you consider a similar set from All-Clad would be around $1500.00 I guess they're not a bad deal. Just realize you are not going to get All-Clad quality and durability and you should be happy. I would recommend them for someone who absolutely cannot spend more than $100.00 for a decent assortment of cookware. It you're looking for top quality performance and lifetime durability then look elsewhere.

When I first read reviews for this product I thought I would never own it. I pictured the set being just plan junk. My wife and I were not in the market for replacing our old Lynn's stainless steal set until we came upon them in one of the retail stores here in Reno. I picked them up and found myself just plan surprised with how heavy duty they seemed. I decided to buy the 10 qt stock, the 8 qt stock, the 6 qt stock, a 10 inch skillet and the 1.5, 2 and 3 qt sauce pans. After using them for a month I now have purchased a full set, including wok, two mini casserole pans and a Pizza serving plate. I really love this cookware.

I would say while it does not compare to my fathers American Made Emeril-ware set it is spot on when comparing it to the Emeril-ware now made in China. It is put together very well and the only problem I have is finding a good spot to store all the glass lids. The pots, pans and skillets I have hanging on the wall off of a pot rack but the lids just take up a ton of space for items I do not use too often. I wish the lids were more of universal sizes so that I could get rid of half of them.

I have cooked many different dishes over the last 3-4 months as I have a cooking website called . We have made red wine sauces, soups, pasta, stir fried, roasted a chicken and made many other things without any of the defects I saw people complain of. I use a little olive oil and preheat my pans just as I have always with any stainless set with out a problem. The lids hold up well and the rivets hold tight! I can not see going wrong with this set if you like to cook and do not want to fork out a few grand for a professional set.

I hope you enjoy these pots and pans as much as we have! And if you figure out a better way to store the lids give me a heads up!

Reviews of Aluminum Potato Baker

Customer Ratings:

These were just OK. The reason is the aluminum nails are not thick like the older models and so don't work as well. They are so slim that I don't think they will hold up long (not like the 20 years I used my old one before it finally broke -it held 4 baking potatoes each on a spike) -guess they don't make that kind anymore these are more fragile.

I have been looking for a cast iron kettle for months for my conduction cooktop and wow I finally found one. Unlike other cast iron tea kettle but the ones I found were always painted "tea pots" and the paint burned off.

This one is perfect. It is absolutely the right size, 1 qt, and heats like a dream. The handle is great, no need for pot holders. I would strongly recommend this tea kettle for those that want a no maintence kettle unlike many of the other tea kettles on the market. It's great.

The actual size of the pan where the base hits the burner would be just over six inches. The website for Sitram measures the top of the pan at slightly larger. This is not an 8" pan. It does have rivets. I would have liked to have been shipped a new pan for the price I paid for it. When I peeled back the sticker on the bottom (be careful doing this as not to rip it), the sticker had been replaced previously. There was residue and paper with writing from the previous sticker that was removed under then newly replaced sticker. Not sure if this was the manufacturer's mistake or Amazon's but it was a bad one! No thanks, you can have it back.

That being said, I love the Sitram 11" Non-Stick Linox http://www.amazon.com/Sitram-11-Inch-Stainless-Steel-Frypan/dp/B00009A9W5/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361836002&sr=8-1&keywords=sitram+nonstick (same as this one but larger) that I ordered before I purchased this one. That one cooks great. Wish it was a little heavier though but it has not warped on me or scratched up yet.

The reason we bought these frying pans was to replace the old ones we had. They were the same name brand frying pans which we purchased them eleven years ago. The coating was starting to come off them so that's why they got replaced. They are excellent frying pans to cook with and very easy to clean and handle.

Discount Arc International Luminarc Working Glass, 14-Ounce, Set of 12

Customer Ratings:

Somewhere I found a comment from somebody wondering if these glasses had "500" molded into the bottom of the glass, YES they do. The font style is not an exact match to my old glasses, and the new ones say "Made in France", but the rest of the appearance is identical. I also ordered the taller (21 oz) working glasses and the plastic lids that came with the short ones, also fit the large ones. Totally satisfied with my new "French crystal" ;-)

I just received these glasses 11/9/2012. They DO NOT have the 500 on the bottom of the glass. I bought them after reading the review that said they have the 500 on the bottom. These glasses are riddled with imperfections such as large streaks and tiny lines that look like cracks. Now I really don't want to use them. While I believe these glasses are technically by Luminarc they are a cheaper lower quality glass. I'm going to find them in a physical store next time I buy. Buyer beware, these are not the Luminarc glasses I'm used to buying!

I was hoping to replace a few of the "French 500" glasses that I've had for so long. These are not those. These are the same generic ones you can find anywhere. They are solid, but green in tent and not as well made as the "French 500" version of old.

Unfortunately, one of the glasses shattered during shipping. As there was no return label included, it would have been more of a hassle to return than to just forget about the one broken glass.

If you're looking for a decent all-around glass, these are fine. Just don't expect the great ones you're used to.

***Update (11/25/12)***

Bought my second wok since the first one (of almost four years) had endured the toughest conditions. The coating has started to peel and it is time to replace. Please keep in mind people, these non-stick coatings do NOT last forever and especially if you do a lot of cooking like me. This applies to ALL nonstick products no matter what the costs. If you want something where you wouldn't have to deal with the problem then maybe consider buying a pre-seasoned carbon wok, but then again they involved a different type of maintenance too like spreading oil to clean the wok after you cook instead of washing it. I like to wash my wok clean. This time, I will try to prolong it by using lower heat (instead of max) and go easy with the bamboo spatula.

Still made in the U.S.A., only the stamping on the bottom is a bit different, and thank goodness for the Amazon promo credit which made the deal much sweeter!

(original review)

Before this, I was extensively comparing to two others: The T fal Jumbo Wok along with the Circulon Elite Hard-Anodized Aluminum 14-Inch and I finally nailed it down to the Nordic Ware. One of the main reasons were because I wanted to replace a $ wok by 'Invitations' that I purchased not too long ago from Bed Bath & Beyond actually it was like $ after rebates and promotions, so no love lost here.

The comparisons...

T fal Jumbo Wok: I was ready to buy this wok from a major retailer. As I was going through the bunch, I could not find one that was like new, either there is a scuff here, a scratch there or a knick in between, and as I went through and finally came to one that was knick and scratch-free; the helper handle was deformed. So I said "screw it". Although this wok looked rather good, but it just didn't have the right feel to it, also, it was a bit on the light side and felt kind of flimsy not worth the price.

Circulon Elite: The same retailer did not carry the actual item but I was able to get an idea from one of their medium sized stir fry pans. The product feels heavy (which I like) but I wasn't too fond of the high-low food release design. I'm sure it was a feat of engineer but that didn't do it for me, non-stick is non-stick, it doesn't have to be any more complicated than it is. I'm more into the long-term and durability of its material that was put into it rather than the fancy grooves. I'm sure it works wonders, but for the addition to its marketing strategy; I wasn't sold.

The conclusion: I wanted a wok which was not only identical to the one I replaced but can perform and handle my day to day tasks. I stir-fry, steam, braise, fry, saute whatever, you name it! The Nordic Ware 14" wok has exceeded all the expectations, if not, more! It was tested in and by commercial kitchens and NSF certified so I can count on its rigorous strength. Upon the first day of using it (unlike the one I replaced and used with wooden utensils; the non stick coating stripped right off of its initial use), I stir-fried some vegetables with high heat from my electric counter top and was able to achieve some nice searings, food releases with a breeze and it has definitely passed the test of time! Before I toss the other wok out, I kept the removable handle and it fit my new wok like a glove. Now I know why the other cheap wok wanted to imitate the Nordic Ware 14" Asian Spun Wok, clearly, there is no comparison!

Pros:

*Great weight and balance

*Premium non-stick coating

*Perfect size and depth for tossing

*NSF certified and very high quality

*Made in USA

*20 Year warranty!!!

Cons:

*Grip handle is a bit thin, but can get used to (I replaced it with the old wok's rubber grip which is more thicker and fits perfectly)

*Removable rubber handle is some work when coincide with oven, the good thing is I don't really use it in the oven except for storing afterwards.

Im in college and just got my own apartment, when i was buying pans, i picked some out, showed them to my mother and asked her if they were any good. She went to the kitchen, grabbed one of her calphalon pans and said hold this, then made me return the ones i had bought.... Well it was then i learned that the good pans are the heavy ones.

And boy is this a heavy weight wok. It distributes heat very well. The surface is great, it washes easy too.

I bought this for its seemingly great value and have been using it for a couple of months.

First look: great materials, hefty. Two handles makes the wok much easier to handle.

The description is misleading, there is no "Polished stainless steel lids" included.

I really wanted to like it but it is simply not possible.

One major problem with the wok is that the bottom is NOT flat. It was already warped when I got it and it would "roll" around on my ceramic-glass stove top.

Everyone should know that any decent flat bottomed cookware should be completely flat and stay that way. However, the wok came warped(convex). It might be OK for those using gas stoves but I, myself, will never buy this again.

EDIT: Great customer service from Nordic Ware when my Wok started peeling.

The New one is better than the old one but it can be sturdier! 3 stars!

Zwilling JA Henckels Spirit Thermolon Saucepan with Lid Review

List Price: $100.00
Sale Price: $79.95

I have had this Spirit/Zwilling line for a few years, first the three fry pans and now the 4 QT. Comparison is to Le Creuset, All Clad including Excalibur non-stick, Viking, and Joyce Chen lightweight cast iron.

Understand that you are using man engineered stoneware of sorts with all its benefits and faults. They are extremely well engineered and work exceptionally well on induction.

For high heat cooking, these pans can safely get hotter than any other non-stick. I did a side by side on an induction cooktop bridge burner using a laser thermometer. The lightweight cast iron and Spirit heated in approximately the same time (iron a bit faster) to 800 some odd degrees before I called the dogs off... At first I thought the ceramic interior was marred or darkened but time has not yielded an issue. Pizzas at 550% plus convection oven don't damage the pan and slide off as if on a stone. Tip: let your dough rise in a slightly oiled fry pan, smooth the bottom before applying sauce and cheese, heat on stovetop a minute to get pan hot and place in high heat oven. (For those lucky enough to have induction, the dough can rise faster on the hold setting; these pans are also very much like Le Creuset in that they can function as a crock pot overnight.

First tries on non stick yielded poor results for this high heat impatient chef. Eggs require low slow cooking to get that TV slide off ... and it does work! Burnt late night mac 'n cheese sauces clean easily the next morning.

Quality of construction is on par with top brands. The see through glass lid is well made and a nice touch. The shape is slightly taller than some 4qts making it better for a single pasta boil but yielding less browning surface at he bottom of the pan. Interestingly, the glass lid fits perfectly on the 8" fry.. my guess is that the 5qt saute will work with the 12" fry and so on ... a good design feature.

Spirit sears and builds a fond at least 90% as well as traditional stainless and maybe on par. There is no steaming of food. Steaks brown up nicely and gravies are easily made with bits of protein residue in the pan.

They retain heat very very well.. maybe better than cast iron... for both the good and bad of it. Think flatbreads and pan pizza, hot cakes, and even serving dogs at table with a lid so that seconds and thirds are still hot. Truly a baking stone so beware: food will keep cooking if not removed from a very hot Spirit.

They are indestructible. My sharpest knives and metal utensils never leave a scratch. Clean up is a dream. Wrecks and burns happen but water over time will clean anything off a rock. I use a heavy duty Chore Boy cloth (Publix) for these and cast iron woks with excellent results.

Quite heavy. The 4 qt comes in at about 3lbs, 6oz. about one pound heavier than an All Clad 3qt and a pound less than a 4qt Viking WITH the helper handle. Small folks and seniors may have trouble... this pan needs a helper handle! The stay cool Y handles do the job.. my 8" lacks the Y design and gets very hot... the pics on Amazon suggest they have been changed to the Y design but beware. Assuredly, the are much lighter than Le Creuset.

Spirit takes a bit of time to heat, consistent with a baking stone. My induction cooktop brings it to temp quickly but regular tops will take more time. It heats and cools like Le Creuset (or other cast iron) but has better non-stick properties.

There are hints of hot spots in the pans; I perceive that there are more than in other pans but am not certain; this has in no way been a deal killer.

These spirit pieces are increasingly my goto cookware while many more expensive brands sit idle. If I had to buy one set only for a small kitchen or couple just getting started, this would be it, hands down. Also check out the lightweight chinese cast iron from Joyce Chen for seared smoky stir fry... even less expensive pans, albeit with their own set of drawbacks, that also leaves the big boys in the drawers.

To update some early reviews stating that this pan is not induction ready. Received my pan yesterday and gave it the magnet test on arrival in case I needed to return it. It passed the magnet test which relieved my anxiety after reading some of the circa 2011 reviews that created doubt. Cooked breakfast this morning in this pan using my just purchased Duxtop 8300ST and everything worked great. Love this pan. Nice to not have a big handle sticking out which can make cooking unsafe. Also using an induction cooker keeps the short handles at a safe temp for handling. Another bonus that I did not realize with portable induction cooking is that trying to simmer in windy conditions is absolutely no problem. I live in a very windy area (near the Pacific coast) and trying to cook outside on a gas burner (barbecue side burner) is problematic as the flame keeps blowing around and will blow out at a low simmer setting. Induction cooking eliminates these problems completely. Once you are ready to simmer you can be assured it will stay simmering without having to baby it.

Tovolo 14-Inch Silicone Solid Spoon Review

Customer Ratings:

Love this spoon! Easy to clean as almost nothing sticks to it and it won't absorb water like a wooden spoon, so it's easier to sanitize and it's dishwasher safe :)

Also, the edge acts like a squeegee which is perfect when you're trying to get that last bit of sauce out of a pan-a nice feature previously unknown to me :)

I should note that the handle is, in fact, conductive of heat and can get uncomfortably warm if left in the wrong area on the stove. Given that the handle *is* metal, this should be a no-brainer. That said, I should clarify that heat does not transfer at all through the silicone end of the spoon.

I plan on replacing all my spoons with these :)

I finally found a great spoon to use with non-stick cookware. It works like the old wooden spoons did --but a lot easier to clean & you can put it in the dishwasher. It stirs heavy stiff foods just as easily as light fluffy things. It doesn't bend like a lot of plastic spoons. It's heat proof so I don't have to worry about it melting. I have thrown out all my other "plastic" spoons. They were worthless. Give this one a try -you won't be sorry.

Honest reviews on Tovolo 14-Inch Silicone Solid Spoon

So my title and rating don't seem to quite mesh. But in my mind they do.

You can't knock a product because it wasn't designed for what you want. This is a quality spoon. The metal is sturdy. The head is heat resistant (although I've seen it start to blister during really hot stir frying) and pliable enough to scrape the last bits of liquid and goodness from a pan. Cleanup is easy with the dishwasher.The weight is great and it generally feels pretty good in my hand.

The one major thing it lacks is any depth to the head of the spoon so it is not ideal for scooping or serving especially things that don't stick together like brussel sprouts, broccoli, and fruit salad. I don't think that was the aim of the product so its not something I would rank down for, but it is something you should probably consider before purchasing.

Similarly I don't think this spoon was designed for scraping burnt on bits. Its head is a bit to soft for that. It can scrape some burnt on things a bit, but its not going to do as good of a job as a hard metal or nylon spoon. This of course will protect your non stick cookware in the long run, but its another thing to think about when you're purchasing cooking utensils.

With those concerns intact, this product is deserving of a 5 star ranking because it is absolutely stellar at what it was designed to be and thats a non abrasive stirring spoon. The spoon is perfectly stiff and not too, too heavy. Its head is flat allowing you to have more stirring control and its slightly soft as to not scratch the surfaces of your expensive cookware.

With that:

5 stars

I'd buy it again

Just don't expect it to be the only spoon in your drawer

Although I enjoyed using this spoon in the beginning, at the ripe old age of 6 months the silicone edge cracked numerous times, making them now useless.

They simply don't last.

Just used them when the grill/griddle was slightly hotter than warm...melted. Thus the review is now one star.

I've used cast iron for 35+ years and found these scrapers great to scrape away little crusty bits, esp. in the curves of a pan. Remember, no dishwashing liquid should touch a cast iron pan--just scrape and scrub with a stiff lodge brush, rinse and thoroughly dry. I then rub a little cooking oil on the inside, mopping up any excess with a paper towel.

Do not order this if you plan on using it with the Lodge Logic LPGI3. The notches on this scraper do not fit hte grooves in the grill side of the Lodge Logic LPGI3. That was specifically why I ordered this product and the product description does not mention this at all. Maybe it will work for others, but it did not work for me.

Honest reviews on Lodge SCRAPERGPK Grill Pan Scraper, 2-Pack

I use these with a Lodge cast iron grill pan. The scrapers have two rows of scraping notches at different widths, presumably to accommodate the different pans in Lodge's product lineup. These are great for cleaning up grill pans without removing the seasoning just use them in the sink with hot water (no soap!) and soon your pans will be clean and ready for oiling. Before these I had been using those green scrubbing sponges which 1) didn't clean the pan very well, 2) sanded through the seasoning in some "hot spots", and 3) shredded the sponge in no time. These scrapers have no such issues. They're rigid but slightly flexible and comfortable to hold and use. And you can toss them into the dishwasher with impunity.

I would suggest one improvement: put a narrow "U" shaped notch on the back edge of the scraper to scrub off the top edges of the ribs on the pan. As it is, these scrapers are better for cleaning out gunk that's fallen into the valleys between the ribs. But not a big deal. I've had nothing but outstanding experiences with Lodge products. Nice to see that continue even with a little item like this.

This package contains two identical scrapers. Each has two grooved sides of different spacing, and a rounded edge. These work well for cleaning the Lodge L8SGP3 grilling skillet, and can be tossed in the dishwasher afterward. Alternatives would be using a wadded up paper towel or a stiff brush. This tool gets a big start on the cleaning and then you might have to pick a few remnants off.

Inexpensive and useful. Give one to a friend!

Customer Ratings:

I bought these cups because they have a ring clasp that allows you to separate the cups. A lot of measuring cups do not have the clasp. The cups are solid and sturdy, but somewhat heavy. They will last forever!

We've had these for five years now -we use them a lot -and none of them show any sign of wear yet. They are always a pleasure to use. In addition to the heavy-duty aspect, I like the longer than normal handles.

If you have any notion that these are like the one you get at the grocery store or other home goods store, think again. These are heavy, professional grade measuring cups with thick, long handles. I was tired of buying the cheap ones and having to throw them away after one dropped and got bent. I'm pretty sure I'll never need to buy another set after getting these. Good price too.
