Cheap Kitchen Classics 188-548LIB 10-Inch Heavy Gauge Aluminum Non-Stick
I bought the 10" and 12" Saute pans. Nice heavy material, even cooking. Non-stick is great. I love the polished outside of the pan. The value is fantastic, I have owned pans at many times the price that are not as good.

Lodge A1-12 Camp Dutch Oven Tote Bag, 12-inch Review

List Price: $23.00

Simple to use.
1) Place lid in bottom of bag first.
2) Place D.O. on top of lid.
This keeps legs from stressing the bottom and allows the oven to breath.
For added safety and convenience I placed a matching size tin plate on the bottom of the bag. It not only protects the bag but it's nice to have a dedicated plate/surface to rest things on.

This tote bag is made to carry and protect your beloved dutch oven.Why a tote bag you may ask? It not only protects your valuable $50 or antique dutch oven, but it keeps your other items clean if your oven has soot on the outside. These come in different sizes just like the ovens themselves. This particular one will fit a dutch oven up to 8 quarts or 12" in diameter which is the standard size used by scouts and other groups. It has a padded bottom to protect the legs, a heavy duty zipper closure, and carrying straps.Best Deals for Lodge A1-12 Camp Dutch Oven Tote Bag, 12-inch

Honest reviews on Lodge A1-12 Camp Dutch Oven Tote Bag, 12-inch
I have got to say I'm pretty impressed with this bag. I have a 10" Lodge camp oven and was worried about the legs punching holes, but the bottom has padding in between the inner and outer layers so it's really not a problem. I am not only able to put in my oven, but also some of the objects that are necessary to go with it. The handles are of tough webbing. I'm quite satisfied, especially at the price.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Lodge A1-12 Camp Dutch Oven Tote Bag, 12-inch
I like the product very much, but have added a 3/8" plywood bottom cut to 12" diameter to prevent the legs from wearing through the foam.Saturday, December 20, 2014
Review of Rachael Ray 10-Piece Porcelain Enamel Cookware Set
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $160.00
Sale Price: $121.95
Today's Bonus: 24% Off

I purchased the Rachael Ray 10-Piece Porcelain Enamel Coodware Set in Blue at the end of December 2007. The handles are securely attached. The pans are just the right weight....not too heavy and not too light. The stay cool handles are terrific. The non-stick surface is awesome...the food slides right off. The see-through lids are great so you can keep an eye on whats cooking. It has the look and feel of expensive cookware but is very reasonably priced. The only thing that I didnt know before I purchased this item was that it is not recomended to cook on high with a glass top stove. I guess the enamel can fuse to the cook top. I have a glass top stove and at first I was concerned. I cook with this cookware set on Medium High instead of high. I have not had a problem at all. In fact, I used to burn meals in my old cookware but now that I dont use high heat to cook with I have not burned a single meal! If you are looking for great cookware with outstanding quality then I highly recomend the Rachael Ray 10-Piece Porcelain Enamel Cookware Set.
******And just to add a note to my original review back in Februay 2008.......I have now owned this set for a little over 2 yrs (its now 2010) and it is still just as great as it was when I first purchased it. I am very careful that I dont use metal utensils with this set. I only use wooden or nylon (plastic) utensils which I think contributes to the long life of any non stick cookwear set.******
######And yet another update.....It has now been 4 yrs since I first purchased this cookware (its now 2012) and it is still like brand new!!! ###########
I noticed the first week I bought the set that the most of the pans already had minor smudges exposing the metal of the pan under the green paint. Then one day I was toweling off a pan I HAND WASHED and noticed the green enamel rubbed off all over the towel. I simply washed the pans with warm soapy water, nothing harsh.
I am extremely dissappointed with the quality of these pans. It is a great design but they are evidently made with very cheap workmanship.
I use these to cook all of my meals, and am not particularly careful about them... they're pots and pans after all.
I've had no trouble with the color scratching or rubbing off or turning black on the bottom as others have mentioned. They are still in nearly perfect condition. The enamel is just a bit scuffed on the bottom edges of the pan where it rubs up against the grates over my burners, but it's not even noticeable and I expected that. In fact I expected some discoloration from the heat and flames but there's NONE.
My lids fit great and nothing was warped or bent.
The nonstick coating is PHENOMENAL. I typically leave my pots and pans overnight and wash them in the morning or on my lunch, and even the most notorious meals for sticking on like glue and needing a serious soak wipe right off with just a tiny bit of soap and hot water. I've had no scratches or chips of any kind from the nonstick coating.
I know one person complained that they stained the inside of their dishwasher, but it says right in the description, on the box, and in the pamphlet that comes with them that they are not dishwasher safe... so I don't put them in there!
I've used the saute pan and sauce pot in the oven with excellent results and no damage of any kind to either.
I recommend that anyone who DOES have some issues take advantage of the lifetime guarantee! There're bound to be a few mistakes and duds with these as with any mass produced product. No one to blame but yourself if you don't ask for a replacement!

I have the blue set. This cookware is very affordable for what you get and so nice to use. I love the rubber handles that are angled upward and the see-through lids. My only complaint is that this set is not dishwasher safe. If you run these through the dishwasher, the color will fade. I have not done this because the paperwork included said not to do so, but I have heard complaints of the color fading after cleaning in a dishwasher. This is an excellent beginner cookware set!Honest reviews on Rachael Ray 10-Piece Porcelain Enamel Cookware Set

I bought this set just three months ago and I am so dissapointed to find scratches on two pieces already. Other cheaper brands last me longer than this. I found scratches on the smallest pot which I used mostly to boil water! I never used metal utensils when cooking so I really dont understand why scratches appear so fast and so easy. And it became even worse when scratches did not stay as scratches at all; they allowed a big piece of the top layer to come off. Now one piece is junk. I purchased this set because it looked beautiful and because it relates to the famous cook. Now I better search for a real quality product other than basing my purchase on just the look and the name.Monday, December 8, 2014

Reviews of Classic Chai Dao Knife - 7"
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $130.00
Sale Price: $99.95
Today's Bonus: 23% Off

This is a well-made knife. I expect no less from Wüsthof, and I'm pretty sure the build quality isn't your primary reason for reading a review. What you want to know is: how is it to use?
For comparison, I'll bring in my Shun santoku and Victorinox Forschner Fibrox chef's knife. The chai dao weighs just about the same as the santoku, and more than the Victorinox (everything weighs more than the Victorinox--but that's not a complaint). The balance at the bolster is excellent. The blade is just a shade thinner than that of the santoku, and wider than that of the chef's knife.
For dicing an onion or other softer vegetables, all three knives do a great job, and choosing one of them is a matter of whichever you find more comfortable to hold. I give the chai dao an edge on this (okay, pun intended) because I find the santoku a little uncomfortable to hold at the bolster, and the Victorinox definitely wants to be held by the handle. For dicing carrots, the Victorinox doesn't work as well as the other two because it's lighter, and the heft of the santoku and chai dao knives helps one get through the carrot.
For slicing chicken breast for stir-fry (or whatever you're making), the chai dao shines. When I slice meats I usually have a little wrist action involved as I pull across the flesh, and the curvature of the blade keeps the edge where it needs to be. The santoku's lengthened curve tends to pull away from the board for that, as does the chef's knife; the shorter blade length of the chai dao also seems better suited to this task.
For chopping herbs I find that I'll choose either the chai dao or the chef's knife. I think I like the chai dao somewhat better for this, but I'll need a few more trials to firm up that opinion.
I used the chai dao today to de-bone a pork shoulder I roasted, a task I wouldn't try with the santoku or chef's knife because they're just too long for the task. For the detail work I did finish with a boning knife, but the chai dao did a superior job taking the larger meat chunks off the bone with little effort involved.
So, in my kitchen at least, this is a very useful and usable knife from which I expect to get years of service.I use this knife for everything. The perfect knife. I couldn't be happier. Like all Classic Wusthof knives this knife is hefty with excellent balance.

My husband is a BBQ fanatic, so I bought this spatula for him for his 50th birthday. You will not believe how well made it is, and how heavy duty! The gauge of the metal is reminiscent of my '66 Valiant. The wood handle is beautiful, and it has brass rivets through the tang. Plus, it's super-patriotic and made in the USA! I've dealt with Areaware before, and have never been disappointed. I purchased it directly from their site, though. I will never have dealings with Wayfair again. Highly unscrupulous.

The tea kettle was delivered a couple of weeks ago, but I just started using it this week. I like the size and design, except I thought that the handle would be made of rubber, not plastic, so I fear that there is a possibility that it might melt if I accidently forget about it. Once the water boiled, the handle was not too hot for me to touch without using a pot holder. The whistle is loud enough; it's not startling nor does it have a high shrieking sound. So far, so good.This is a well constructed kettle and works very well. Well worth the investment and considered a good economical buy

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Paula Deen Savannah Collection Aluminum Nonstick 17-Piece Cookware Set, Red
When you do a lot of cooking, you need an arsenal of pots and pans to get everything just right. A good addition to your kitchen is a set of porcelain enamel nonstick cookware, select nonstick coated interior provides easy cleaning and long lasting food release. These skillets have a porcelain enamel exterior. A colorful porcelain exterior will enhance every kitchen from contemporary to traditional styling. This attractive exterior is durable, stain resistant and a breeze to clean.
The handles on these skillets are dual riveted handles. Dual riveting is designed to provide a comfortable, secure grip, which is safe to 350 degrees F. The handles do not conduct heat and are safe to handle while cooking. This cookware is suitable for cooking on gas, electric and glass-ceramic cooktops.
The charm and grace of the South are captured in the eye-pleasing lines, scalloped exteriors and elegant color of this Paula Deen Savannah Collection Aluminum 17-Piece Cookware Set with Bakeware. It not common to get most of what you need for basic cooking needs, but this Paula Deen set will be nearly complete. Every piece for today's kitchen is featured in durable aluminum construction that heats quickly and evenly. That's what I like about this cookware no hot spots and burnt food.
The cookware set's long-lasting nonstick interiors provide excellent food release in a satin ivory finish that offers a unique alternative to traditional black nonstick. This is heavy cookware that can take on a lot of cooking chores. Make breakfast in the skillets, cook up Paula's Onion Relish in one of the saucepans and use the large stockpot for your family's favorite soups and stews. Most of the time the nonstick release require a quick clean-up with a mild dish soap and water.
If you are like me, cooking is an art to enjoy and I like to watch how everything is cooking, not too hot or cold, but just right. Contoured handles are dual-riveted for additional strength and comfort and glass lids allow cooking to be monitored without heat or moisture loss. To further equip the kitchen for every necessity, the cookware set includes a trio of essential Paula Deen Signature Tools in durable nylon and a pair of her Signature nonstick carbon steel cookie pans.

With this Paula Deen Savannah Collection 17-Piece Cookware Set with Bakeware, the kitchen is ready and set for your next great snack, meal, or baked treat, with a bunch of help from Paula. There are a few extras that I'd include to make my kitchen cooking complete. I would add cast iron skillets of various sizes and stockpots greater tan 6 quarts. Also, lids are essential to keep in moisture and nutrients. So, I'd add an 8 and 10-Inch set of lids to complete this set.
Cleaning:
Standard Care, all cookware, before first use and after each use, wash pans thoroughly with mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. If food remains on the surface, boil a mixture of water and vinegar into the pan to dislodge the food particles. I wash this cookware by hand to preserve the enamel non-stick coating, but it is dishwasher safe. Bakeware is a hand wash only.

Available individually or in sets, her cookware includes pieces with nonstick interiors and colorful porcelain enamel exteriors, stainless steel items, enamel on steel, enamel cast iron and more. Unique items include a jumbo butter warmer, a cast-iron hotcake pan and cast iron covered casseroles with a distinctive swirl design.
These pots and pans have been well used in my kitchen and they hold well from constant use. I can't be much happier than recommending them. An excellent product.
An epicurean Bon AppetiteMy mother has the Paula Deene in the red speckled. I wanted red, but I wanted my set to be different from hers. I haven't used mine for cooking yet, because I have been on an assignment. I had them shipped home, my mom opened them for me and said they were beautiful. She is southern lady who has been cooking for 50 years. She said her Paula Deene pots and pans were the Best she had ever used. She has two sets.

I haven't used mine for cooking yet, because I have been on an assignment. I had them shipped home, my mom opened them for me and said they were beautiful. She is southern lady who has been cooking for 50 years. She said her Paula Deene pots and pans were the Best she had ever used. She has two sets.

Cheap Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Omelette

This pan is a fantastic workhorse. It's the 'go-to' pan in my kitchen. It goes from stove-top to oven/broiler without missing a beat and without doubts from the cook. Heats evenly and quickly, and the handle stays cool (on the stovetop), unlike some much more expensive copper pans with cast-iron handles I've used. This pan meets or exceeds the French & Belgian copper I've used, in terms of kitchen performance; the only place it might rate 2nd is in the aesthetics area, if one prefers a copper/cast iron look and European pedigree. The Calphalon was made in China.
But honestly, the Calphalon pan is one I never have to second guess it does exactly what is asked of it.
For anyone with qualms about foods catching in the pan, do the following:
1. Pre-heat the pan on MEDIUM heat prior to putting any food/oil/butter in it. Once the pan is hot, one can add the food. For example, I've put raw, unseasoned steaks in this pan once it's hot. The meat will adhere for 20-30 seconds until the pan-side is seared, then can be moved, turned, etc. quite as easily as if the pan had a Teflon coating. Eggs also are loose, as long as they've been put into a hot pan that has had a bit of butter added. A fried egg slides around after 20-30 seconds as though it was on ice, as long as one has begun with a HOT PAN.
2. This pan heats up nicely at 60-75% of the burner heat capacity; i.e., if your burner goes from "0" (cold) to "15" (max heat), you shouldn't need to turn it above "11" to get a nicely heated pan that will respond to your culinary desires. Remember it goes to "11."
3. Throw this pan into the oven at 300-F for hours, or under a hot broiler for 10 minutes. And forget about it I have had no warping or any problems whatsoever.
4. The pan cleans easily. Let it cool. Then any stuck-on bits wipe out with a splash of water. If something has really caught, scrape the stainless steel surface with a flathead screwdriver; it will be fine. After several years, I have some superficial scratches on the interior surface, but it's still shiny. The bottom of the pan is slightly tan in places, but again it's just superficial surface discoloration (much less than an All-Clad pan I have, which shows much more brown heat-scarring).
In sum, Calphalon has a fantastic 10-inch pan here. Life is too short to fret over a frying pan anyway.
If you want one, get it. It can probably deflect a hail of bullets too, if an angry mob should appear or one could just fry up some bacon in the pan and toss it to the mob to placate them.
1. Put the pan over low heat without oil in it for a while; a while is usually until you can drop some water on it and see it evaporate pretty quickly.
2. Pour enough oil to coat the bottom and since the pan is hot, you want to make sure that you add your food after you've swirled the oil around in the hot pan a few times to coat the bottom.
3. Make sure there's a little bit of oil in the pan at all times, otherwise you're going to end up burning the oil on the pan.
4. After cooking remove the food and rinse off the pan under hot running water, right away; don't use cold water as it might warp the pan.
All in all, I love this pan, but I would really love it if it came with a lid; I know, it's a fry pan, but I can cook and I want a lid for my more creative projects!!!
I had been using a good-quality hard-anodized omelet pan for my fried eggs. Seemed OK, but I decided to try a stainless steel pan and chose this one. I am delighted I did. The pan has good weight to it, and is beautifully constructed with a brilliant finish.
I put a little butter in the pan over medium-low heat. The butter melted more quickly and evenly than it did in my non-stick pan. I cracked two eggs and continued cooking over a fairly gentle heat. They cooked thoroughly and evenly. After gentle prodding with a turner they slid around the pan better than they ever did in the non-stick. I never had to turn the heat up high at all.
I am sold and it cost me: I ordered replacements for all sizes of my pans. I will, however, keep this pan as a dedicated egg pan. I think that, along with careful cooking and clean-up, will insure a long life of good service.
Initially I was quite disappointed with the pan and thought that I had a future of scraping burnt-on food and crusts every morning. However, if you read the instructions carefully and have a bit of patience this pan works beautifully.
Many of the other reviews have mentioned this and I will repeat that the pan heats up Very Quickly! Add a bit of oil (more than you would on a nonstick), use medium heat and then throw on the ingredients only when the pan is good and hot. This takes very little time due to the construction of the tri ply layer and excellent heat conduction.
For the times that I did end up burning things onto the pan or using it with too little oil, filling the pan with warm water and a squirt of dish soap loosened things up after letting it sit for a couple of hours.
I have not had to use anything more than a gentle cleaning sponge and a dish brush to clean the pan. I highly recommend this pan for anyone that loves to cook!

You have to follow these instructions if you want to cook in a stainless steel pan like a pro (instructions from my father :p):1. Put the pan over low heat without oil in it for a while; a while is usually until you can drop some water on it and see it evaporate pretty quickly.

Best Deals for Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Omelette
I own several pans from the Calphalon Tri-Ply collection and believe these are great pans for many uses. Anyone saying these pans don't clean easily is clearly doing something wrong. These pans are not "non-stick" so yes, there may be some elbow grease involved from time to time, but good luck searing a piece of meat with a non-stick pan. These pans do get hot easier and faster than some cheaper pans, especially because a lot of cheaper pans only heat the bottom of the pan by heating an encapsulated disc bonded to the bottom where as these pans heat throughout the entire pan. Make sure when using these pans you get them nice and hot and make sure you have some fat in the pan before adding food. Bar Keepers Friend works great at removing residue stuck on the pans that dish soap usually isnt able to remove on its own.Honest reviews on Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Omelette

No pan, no matter how well-constructed, can survive abuse unscathed.I had been using a good-quality hard-anodized omelet pan for my fried eggs.

After decades of using nonstick frying pans, returning to stainless steel took some rethinking of the cooking process. I'm making the switch from non stick in my cooking so this pan was a much longed for replacement.Initially I was quite disappointed with the pan and thought that I had a future of scraping burnt-on food and crusts every morning. However, if you read the instructions carefully and have a bit of patience this pan works beautifully.

Buy Mauviel Cuprinox Style 8-inch Round Frying Pan
The Ferrari of pans...incredible heat conduction, needs much less heat than other types, and perfectly even. Beautiful too! (Written before the price went way, way up still great but beaucoup $.)
I'd like to get a 12 inch version too. Hopefully the prices will go down after the holidays and the stock is replenished.

I wanted a small omelette pan. I also wanted to try copper to see if it really does work as well as claimed. Well, this skillet works great. Before using it I seasoned with some coconut oil overnight. Then I cooked five or six 2 and 3 egg omelettes some with salsa in them, some with cheese. I had the heat up, used butter to oil up the pan and poured in the eggs. Cooked the eggs for about 20-30 seconds while swirling it around. Then I put the salsa or cheese in the middle and slid the cooked eggs out onto a plate, folding it into an omlette in one motion. It was perfect. A simple wipe with a paper towel and it was clean, ready for another omelette or to be put away. There was absolutely no sticking. The no-drip lip on this model works well. No oil ran down the outside. The copper outside turned a golden color from the heat but stayed clean and bright.I'd like to get a 12 inch version too. Hopefully the prices will go down after the holidays and the stock is replenished.

Reviews of Stainless Steel Multi Roaster - Four Cookware Products in One
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $170.00
Sale Price: $99.00
Today's Bonus: 42% Off

I was not sure what the size was when we purchased this roaster. It is about 18"L x 9"H x 12"D. It works wonderful, and the clean up was so easy. It is the best roaster I've ever used. Worth every penny!
Last night I cooked a tenderloin and used the top as a roasting pan.
While making a sauce on the cook top the "tri ply base" crumpled and cracked.
Now it doesn't sit flat.
The only negative issue for me: pan and lid are not suitable for induction cooktop. With most cookware I would like to see all manufacturer always specifically quote this. With a similar design, and price I would have chosen a roaster that works on induction. Otherwise I can only recommend this larger size roaster.

Pan worked well for me with its design: the height fits perfect a 10-12 pound turkey or goose, the easy to handle removable grit works perfect and there is enough space in the bottom of the pan for plenty of gravy. I found nothing negative about the way the material cleans. Easy. The lit in itself makes a nice roasting dish as it is deep enough.The only negative issue for me: pan and lid are not suitable for induction cooktop.

Buy Fox Run 2.75-Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl
I bought this bowl for melting chocolate on top of a saucepan. Yes, it is lightweight but that is it's advantage. It has become my go-to bowl when I don't want to be bothered with using and washing hefty bowls. It washes easily by hand or in the dishwasher. It is the perfect size for melting chocolate, stirring batters, sifting flour into, prep work, etc. It is light enough for me to lift with one hand and gradually pour flour into my stand mixer bowl instead of having to spoon the flour in. It might not be the most hefty bowl on the block but it definitely does the job without making things difficult. If it eventually dents or warpes, I will have gotten my money's worth.
It holds less than 3 quarts, to my measurement, but that will not change my opinion of how useful it will be to me. I have purchased a few of the larger sizes and the smaller size of this bowl so I should be able to handle any cooking and baking task.
I liked the 4 quart so much I ordered 2 more to give as gifts. I'm beginning to use the 4 quart over the 3 quart doesn't seem to spill out as easily as the 3 quart.
