I tried the cheaper Cuisinart GreenGourmet Hard Annodized Aluminum pan, and it warped within a couple uses. Given that I have a flat top stove, it was useless after that.

I've used this tri-ply Stainless pan many, many times now, and it's still perfect. Great non-stick surface, no warping at all, and it's HUGE.

Highly recommended.

I bought 2 of the Cuisinart Green Gourmet pans last year for Christmas. They were the best pans for the first 4-5 months. After using them for 6 months they started to have problems with spots in the pans loosing their non-stick surface. Over time, these "spots" turned into the entire surface of the pan loosing its nonstick ability. They have both become very difficult to clean and worthless to cook with. I mailed one pan back to the company to try to take advantage of the warranty and have had no response. Very disappointed in my purchase!

Love the GreenGourmet line! We had the 5 1/2 quart hard anodized version of this pan for close to a year and a half, until my husband put it in the dishwasher one fateful night.. The outside of the pan was ruined. Was half tempted to buy the same pan again, but was afraid it would meet the same demise. Saw Cusinart made a Green Gourmet version of this pan in Stainless Steel and was sold. Love the look of the SS, and this version also has a much thicker bottom to boot. Never had any issues with warping on our hard anodized version like the previous reviewer did with their's, and we cooked with ours almost every single night. Still, it was a pleasant surprise to see the difference in thickness. Also, I think the SS version is aesthetically a bit more pleasing. Haven't noticed a difference in the lack of the 1/2 quart either from our other version. Great pan, every cook should have a saute pan this size in their kitchen. Easily our most used pan short of our Le Creuset 5 1/2 quart french oven.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart GGT33-30H GreenGourmet Tri-Ply Stainless 5-Quart Saute

The handle is sized well for this larger pan, and does not heat up in stovetop use. The non-stick coating IS nonstick and cleans up very easily.

The stainless lid is lighter than glass lids I have on other pans, which make this 5 quart pan a little easier to handle when you have a full batch of something going on. I have been building one pan batches of both Tomato based and Alfredo cream based sauces in this unit, and it works very well..even heat and no sticking. So far this ceramic non-stick coating is holding up better than the older coatings and performing all well or better.

I have mixed feelings about this item. I had seen the stand displaying various sizes of Le Creuset at Williams Sonoma and felt I must have one especially because my Le Creuset collection, at least one piece of which we use almost every day, was taking up way too much room in my cupboard. Though pricey, I made the purchase online. Upon delivery, I excitedly opened the very heavy box only to discover two very important pieces of information NOT OFFERED IN THE DESCRIPTION: 1)the bars that appear to run along the outsides of the stand are not three long pieces, but rather, each bar is comprised of four small pieces held together by a rather ingenious but not exactly confidence inspiring method featuring pieces of threaded plastic that you have to hammer down into the small pieces of metal tubing, which, when assembled, give the illusion of being three, long, single pieces of cast iron. The tubing itself is not uniform in height, but rather of two different lengths. This means, the second shelf IS NOT TALL ENOUGH TO FIT ANYTHING LARGER THAN A VERY SMALL SAUCE POT--equivalent to 1-1.5 quarts, American. My second disappointment was in the stand's actual height. I hadn't really paid enough attention to dimensions when ordering, as I had the mental image of what I had seen at Williams Sonoma. To my great disappointment, I found a disclaimer included in the instructions informing me that most people and businesses will purchase TWO cast-iron cookware stands and put them together. I live in California--earthquakes R Us. Not only did I doubt that the plastic strips provided to anchor the unit to the wall were adequate, but if I did put two units together, it would likely be just tall enough that it would be dangerous to put cast iron cookware on it! Remember those little pieces of threaded plastic are all that is holding the piece together. NO, I would NEVER trust two put together, not in my home. (Williams Sonoma can deal with that potential problem, if it happens)! But one alone would fit in a playhouse! THIS WAS NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND AT ALL. Besides--purchase two? At this price? I was already splurging to purchase one! While, assembled, the stand is handsome, and the shelves ARE made of cast-iron (and say LE CREUSET, if that is what is important to you), I must admit that I felt a bit idiotic that my splurge wasn't turning out quite as I'd hoped. My sons and I had a good laugh when I likened the proportions of the completed stand to the set of 'Stonehenge' built for the big American tour in THIS IS SPINAL TAP--dancing midgets not included. (Please accept apologies for this very un-PC joke). I am keeping the stand--but had I known what I know now, I must be honest and inform you that I would NOT have purchased it. LIVE AND LEARN. Staub, anyone?

I can't say enough good things about this rack.

Storage I use the bottom 4 shelves for pot storage, the top shelf for ramekins and a plant. If needed, smaller pots can be nestled inside the larger pots, I have 6 pots and a grill pan on mine. Makes it so convenient to retrieve.

Appearance black matte cast iron shelves, I have had mine for 5 years, looks like it did when it was new. This is a great way to display Le Creuset pots, the colors just pop.

It is very stable, I wasn't sure what to expect, but there have not been any problems, even made it through a California earthquake and remained upright. Although the description states the shelves are adjustable, it is very limited in that regard. The shelf depths are fixed by the length of the posts provided with the unit, what you can do is arrange so that the deep shelves are on either the top or the bottom. I recommend the deep shelves be on the bottom, as shown in the picture.

This piece is made with the quality you would expect from Le Creuset.

I have two stands/shelves for my Le Crueset dutch ovens which are the back bone of my cookware. This stand does not hold any of my ovens over 5 quarts. The other stand holds my 9, 6 and 5 quart dutch ovens and this one holds ovens that range between 2-5 quarts. It's solid, attractive and does look great with the small-medium cookware, but will not fit the larger sizes. Because we live in an earthquake area, the sturdiness is really important -heavy dutch ovens seem very safe on these shelves!

Honest reviews on Le Creuset 5-Tier Cast-Iron Cookware Stand

The support columns are some sort of black painted metal, not cast iron.

The support columns are held together by plastic components and headless bolts.

After assembling the stand, I lifted it up by holding onto the middle shelf, and what do you know, the columns lifted right off their plastic holders.

I am very disappointed in Le Creuset for selling this rickety thing. I love Le Creuset cookware and bakeware. I had no idea that they would dare to make such a shoddy structure and then sell it at a list price of over $400.

Included in the package is a plastic "wire-tie-esque" anchor for anchoring the shelf to a wall. But there's no screw for that included so you better have your own screw.

The cast iron shelves have some extra iron tips at the 90 degree corners, as if to say "This used to be a really sturdy shelf structure until we decided to cheapen it out and use sheet metal and plastic columns, but hey--we've already spent the money on the shelf molds that have these little tips for the old cast iron column support structure, so let's just keep making the shelves the same old way."

The cast iron shelves have a lip on the bottom. To prevent damage to your floor, you would want to install the bottom shelf upside down (i.e., turn the "Le Cruset" brand name to the floor).

Pay attention to the measurements. The shelves may be smaller and divider columns may be shorter than you would think.

I returned this item because in the product description, there was no mention of the plastic and non-cast-iron columns that are critical to the support structure. I wish I had read Paulina's review in more detail before I purchased this item in the first place.

All our birds and their own chicks have flown the nest so our big pots and pans are of little use to us. We were unaware that pressure cookers are available in small sizes until we watched an Indian recipe video. Locating a supplier in Canada met with no success but Amazon.com offered this product Hawkins Classic Aluminum 2.0 Litre Pressure Cookerin a wide range of sizes and we selected the two litre cooker which turned out to be ideal. The 2 litre cooker allows ample servings for two persons and we use it for all sorts of cuisines and recipes, Indian, European, Chinese, and North American especially. Just a couple of drawbacks for aging hands and eyes the method of fitting and sealing the lid requires some practice, and the handle-locking device gets very hot and can deliver a nasty burn if you forget to use a mitt. Pressurizing and safety devices work well and the cooker is a breeze to clean and care for. We are delighted with results so far.

Hawkins Pressure Cooker is really good. I had a "Prestige" earlier in which the washer broke and got misplaced. So, I bought this one. Prestige was leaking out water every time it whistled and made a mess of everything. Hawkins never leaks, when it whistles. And it cooks everything thoroughly. So, it does what it is supposed to do damn well. And that is all that is needed. The only thing about Hawkins that is a little bit of a problem is opening the lid and closing it. It can sometimes be frustratingly difficult to do that. But, this is just a minor trick that you need to get used to. So, everything considered, this is a great pressure cooker.

I have 5 pressure cookers, ranging from 12 liter to 6, 4, 3 (one that cooks at 12lbs of pressure instead of 15) and one that is 1.5 L. The makers arePresto, Mirro, Fagor, and Hawkins, some have the pressure Fob and some don't. The 3L that cooks at 12lbs of pressure is useless in my opinion, it should cook at 15. I did not know that when I bought it, so when it did not cook as fast as the other pressure cookers, I called the manufacturer and only then found out that it cooks at 12 instead of 15lbs. I have a Hawkins 1.5L and absolutely love it, its great for one or two people. So I bought the 3L and its just a wonderful. In my opinion, anyone that spends more for their pressure cooker for what you can purchase a Hawkins for, is wasting their hard earned money. Also, I use my cookers at least three times a week, so I have a very good understanding of pressure cookers, and what works and what doesn't. I really like mine, and I hope you will too. BTW, I have no affilitation with them what so ever. Randy

Honest reviews on Hawkins Classic Aluminum Pressure Cookers

This is not the first Hawkins product that I have purchased but this one is fast. The one think that caught me by surprise was how the pressure works and the sound it makes during cooking. I was not accustomed to hearing that so it scared me at first because I thought it was going to blow the weight or gasket, instead of a constant whistle it made short burst of steam. Overall I am satisfied with this product.

This is not really copper, it is some kind of fake copper paint. The first time you use it the copper becomes all white and then is unusable.

I've never seen a more beatriful fry pan, but sadly the casting is defective having a very noticable 1/4 inch long pit in the frying surface. There are a couple smaller dimples, not so noticeable as well. This qaulifies the pan for a factory second in my opinion and sixty bucks is way too much to pay for a factory second and had I known it I would not have purched it at any price. Nicely packed but no name on either the box or the fry pan so whoever made it must not be very proud of their workmanship. I am not sure I want to go through the hastle of returning it, but have saved all the packing in case I decide to.

Review of Wow Bacon Microwave Cooker

List Price: $25.00

I bought one of these for my mom after seeing her prepare bacon in the microwave for an otherwise simple lunchtime sandwich. This thing is a great little idea; no splattering grease, no nasty paper towels or anything left behind. For her particular microwave (800w I believe; quite small), it came out to about one minute per slice to achieve the desired result.

I have read other reviews saying to be careful about burning the device; I can understand that, as it does get fairly hot in the microwave. Plus, it requires a little different method to cook. I found that, after six minutes in the microwave, the slices of bacon weren't quite as crisp as we wanted, but after leaving them to sit in the cup for a couple of minutes while doing other things in the kitchen, they crisped-up well. I believe the delay is due to the enclosed nature of the device holding more moisture inside. Let the bacon air out for a minute after cooking and it seems to be just right.

This works like it is intended to, but the first use, the plastic tray you set the bacon on started to melt in small areas. My husband thought that the handle was attached to the cup and released it to spill all over the floor. I wish the cooker was ceramic.

Wow Bacon works great when you adjust time for your desired level of doneness.However please note the following, it is plastic and if it gets too hot it will melt or warp.I have tried other microwave cookers in the past but this is by far the best and easiest to clean.Some helpfull hints,empty the grease after each batch and to keep the plastic from melting or warping rinse the unit in cold water before reuse to solve this problem. You dont need to dry the unit and it will not effect the quality of the bacon.For best cleaning results when you are done cooking put a squirt of dishwashing liquid in container and fill with hot water, drop the bacon paddle in and twirl back and forth a few times and it will prevent staining.Then you can clean as usual or let it sit and clean later. Doing these few simple things will make this unit last a long time. I have had mine for a few months now at least 20 batches and its still like brand new!Hope this helps!

Honest reviews on Wow Bacon Microwave Cooker

It cooks bacon beautifully and conveniently, but after about the ninth or tenth use, the inside bottom of the plastic cup buckled, warped, and began to disintegrate. I politely wrote WowBacon twice about the issue, but two weeks later there has been ZERO response. Can't recommend.

This gadget really works!! I just received it yesterday and used it immediately. It was easy to put together and the bacon came out crispy. As the directions suggest you have to gage how much time to cook based on your preference and the wattage of your microwave. Mine is only 900 watts and it took (3) minutes for perfectly cooked bacon without all of the mess. I'm glad I made the purchase. Highly recommend!

Reviews of Emile Henry 14.5" x 11" Lasagna Dish

Customer Ratings:

This lasagna baker is pricey, but so worth every penny. This is my second one as my husband dropped the first one and, well, yes, it cracked. We contemplated whether we should just buy a cheap version of this size or pay the extra bucks and get the same one. With my really good experiences with the first one, I decided I did not want to chance it. The following are the positives of this baker:

1) Great size for family sized lasagna, potato gratin and generously sized dishes;

2) Bakes evenly with no "hot spots";

3) Glaze is so smooth and without defects so often found on cheaper bakers that clean up is super easy;

4) You can stick this in fridge, freezer, oven, dishwasher without worrying wheather it will crack (the only place you cannot use this is the stove);

5) It looks so good that it can go directly from oven to table; and

6) The handles are perfect for getting a secure grip when handling in mitts, but not too protrusive that storage in fridge would be a hassle.

The cons are:

1) Price;

2) No cover.

But, over the years, I have purchased and cherished many Emile Henry baking dishes and there is simply no comparison they look as beautiful now as 20 years ago when I started collecting different ones.

Wow! I just had to make two back-to-back dishes of my Crepes Ensenada and needed to hurry doing it. So I made one full dish, cooled it, took it out, and without cleaning it first (I never would do that with any other dish!), baked another full dish. Yes, I had to use a scraper on it after it soaked, but it came out clean, without too much time spent doing it too. No scratches and lovely crepes to boot. The only thing about this dish is that, because of its size, one has to be very careful washing/rinsing it, so it is not banged in the sink. If banged, like glass, it may crack at a future date.

The color is a bit darker than the picture of the red Cherise and the yellow Citron dishes. Of course, when one is viewing colors on a computer, the type of graphics card and its settings can cause variations on the color we see vs. the color that the host site is actually displaying.

Well I love Emile Henry, so I knew this would be a great purchase. I made Baked Ziti and did it in a plain Pyrex 9"x13" dish. And it was jam packed. Almost mounded on top. Had to bake it on a cookie sheet so it could bubble over. So I wanted to get a slightly bigger dish to have some more room. At first I was worried it would be too big because it says its 5 quarts. (The 9x13 is a 3 quart). But the size is PERFECT. It doesn't look like it is almost twice the size of the 9x13. But I filled it up with water and sure enough it holds 5 quarts. I love this dish. I know it will get tons of use. I decided on yellow and it is soooo pretty. Great investment!

Recently picked up two pizzas from a local pizzeria and this bag conveniently held not only the two pizzas but also the bag of other stuff we ordered (Fries, wings, etc.) in a nice strap that was on top.

If you know what I'm talking about, you will realize that this bag will not just get your food home fresher and hotter, but also make getting it by yourself soooo much easier!

Honest reviews on Thunder Group Pizza Bags

We had a pizza bag for over ten years that worked great, it kept my pizza hot while driving home. It somehow disappeared so wanted to replace it. After reading the different descriptions and comparing prices I purchased the Thunder Group 20 x 20 inch bag. What a mistake. It was described as having 1 inch foam...well I guess you could say that because it has a half inch on top and on the bottom but I would call that description very misleading. The insulation doesn't work at all. If I put it on the back seat with a couple hot pizza's by the time I get home 10 minutes later, the seat below and the top of the bag are hot, which means it's allowing the heat to escape. My old bag would be cool to the touch.

We should have returned it the day we got it, and certainly after using it once or twice but got busy and forgot and missed out on the return window. We use it, but we are planning on replacing it with one that works better soon.

I'd been wanting one of these for ages, so was eager to try it out on the stove but it was a disappointment in the end. It slides around a lot, so never feels particularly safe (although I guess to be fair this has as much to do with the stove as anything; others may have better luck with that aspect), and raises the wok too high above the flame for my purposes. I've found it's easier to balance the wok on the burner, and to use the wok ring as a stand on the table for which purpose it works perfectly!

Best Deals for Joyce Chen 31-0063, Chrome Steel Wire Wok Ring

I bought this wire style Wok ring because we have a high end restaurant quality gas range with 18,000 BTU burners, and the more typical sheet metal Wok Rings get red hot and deform when cooking at high temps with our various Woks. This ring looked in the photo to be what we were looking for and Joyce Chen stuff tends to make good products, but on receiving it were disappointed to discover that the ring was poorly made and was also much shorter in height than other Wok rings. I assumed based on the selling price that this would be a high quality product, but instead the wire was not spot welded at the joint and didn't match up to the other end making the ring not sit flat so it wobbled when placed on the stove grate.

In the end we returned this to Amazon for a refund and bought a much higher quality wire Wok ring from The Wok Shop in San Francisco for only $2.95 plus shipping! (Just type the name of the shop into Google for a link)

So... Save you money on this junk and buy what we ended up buying instead!

Honest reviews on Joyce Chen 31-0063, Chrome Steel Wire Wok Ring

Solid construction. Plenty of airflow for gas burner and heat rising up the sides of a wok.

The distance between the bottom of your wok and the burner will depend on the curvature of your wok. So, it may or may not be the proper diameter/height depending on the curvature of your wok and how high your burner sits.

On my Heartland range, I remove the grate and put this ring directly on the part of the cooktop that contains spills and boiled over liquids. As a result, the ring is very steady and the bottom of my wok sits just a fraction of an inch from the inner flame of my burner; the positioning is perfect!

I've tried other rings and none of them worked. Basically, all the others are short, solid aluminum or steel chimneys with a few holes for air circulation. But, this chimney style of wok is for electric ranges, not gas. They don't provide for enough oxygen for my high-BTU burner. And, the heat is trapped in within the chimney so it doesn't lap up the sides of the wok. The bottom center of the wok gets warm/hot but the rest stays cold.

If you want a wok ring for a gas range, you must get a wire one like this. And the only wire ring I can find is this brand, Joyce Chen.

The connections are solid, the metal firm, and the base stable with a wok on it (just so I don't get too TV-chef crazy with it). Definitely a must-have if you're using a wok over a gas stove.

We ordered this set to add on to an existing mish mash of pots and pans we've had for years. The hope was that we could toss some of the older pans out.

Strong Points: Great coating, the food literally slides off with little effort. Inclusion of a couple tools is a nice touch (though not sure it's worth paying more for, as the tools probably retail for a dollar or two). Heating distribution is even, and so it cooks effectively.

Weak Points: Small. It's hard at times to convert 8" pot into a visual, especially when the pictures show things that look bigger. A few of the pans are suitable for children, but not big enough to cook something for a single adult.

Overall, the product appears well made, but I would go to a more expensive set with a larger selection of pots and pans if I was going to use these as my primary cooking utensils.

I needed something simple and basic and love love these. I don't cook a lot as a single guy but when I do it's very easy and I've used most all of the items. The heat indicator is perfect for a novice like me and the non-stick really works great. Plus I just pop them in the dishwasher and they come out clean, so easy and perfect.

Honest reviews on T-fal Signature Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set

I love this T-Fal cookware! It is definitely non-stick. They are so easy to clean that you barely need to use dish soap! Much better than the T-Fal set I had prior to this one. Highly recommended!!

No loss of teflon in my food yet, they are looking really beat up and the pans will warp under a high heat. The pots are all bent up and the lids don't fit. Having said all of that, they are still the lesser of the evils in my mind. Like you, I know the importance of buying the best kitchenware for my family, plus I love to cook. I wanted something reliable without breaking the bank. This is still the best bang for your buck in this price range but man I wish I could afford better products. Bottom line, if this is your budget then do yourself a favoir and take the plunge but heed this warning: DO NOT SCRAPE THIS PRODUCT WITH METAL OR EVEN PLASTIC! THE TEFLON WILL ERODE. THIS IS A LOW END ALBEIT WELL MADE PRODUCT SO TREAT IT AS SUCH. Happy cookin'

Victorio VKP1110 Magnetic Canning Lid Lifter and Bubble Remover Review

Customer Ratings:

This is my first canning season since I helped my mom when I was a little kid. I used my mom's old stuff, but she didn't have this tool. I did a couple batches of pears and some jam and jelly without this. Then I decided to add some new tools to make the job a little easier. The bubble remover seemed to work quite a bit better than the spatula I had been using. I doesn't really have any sharp points, so it slides right out without catching the fruit.

The lid lifter was a a lot easier to maneuver than the tongs, though the magnet picked up two lids once. All in all, a great tool for the few bucks I paid.

I decide not to use it as an all in one tool. It's got a great magnet to lift the lids and bands out of the hot water and works awesome to remove bubbles but I felt using both ends might be counter productive.

I was canning some spicy potato soup and noticed that when I would remove the bubbles and then grab for the next lid I saw some juices going into the lid pot, not much mind you but enough to worry me that now I was putting grease on the lid and band after I just cleaned the jar top to make sure no grease or broth was left on the lid. I will admit I did not wipe down the bubble remover end after removing the air from the jars just laid it down on a paper towel so maybe had I wiped it each time it would not have put any broth in my water.

I bought another magnet wand from my local store and absolutely hate the quality so I am ordering another one of these tools so I can have one for the magnet and one for the lids. It also never hurts to have a spare.

As a person who hates to have products that only perform one task, I sure do love this item! I love that I can run the one side around the jar to release the air bubbles, then wipe it on a towel, and stick the magnet in the saucepan to retrieve my lids! Genius! I don't need a kitchen drawer full of utensils just for my canning endeavors!

Honest reviews on Victorio VKP1110 Magnetic Canning Lid Lifter and Bubble Remover

I bought this thinking I'd finally found a sturdy, longer-handled replacement for those cheap, short little two-dollar lid lifters, but I hadn't used it for more than three or four batches before the magnet just fell out. By contrast, I've never lost a magnet out of one of the cheap lid lifters, and I do more than 600 jars a year, so they're getting used constantly. Dual-purpose tools are nice, but only when they actually work for both purposes.

I'd say stick with a lid lifter like Norpro 606 Magnetic Lid Wand (I use two at the same time to maneuver the lids with more stability -really helps with when they get flipped over!) and use a chopstick to get air bubbles out. This poorly-made tool isn't worth the money.

This has to be one of the most useful kitchen tools I own. No more trying to separate my lids in the pot of hot water with tongs. Makes canning go faster and anything that gets me out of the kitchen quicker is great. Works exactly as advertised easy to use and cheap. If you don't have one and you can you are missing out.
