I bought this pay because I like Kitchenaid product and for now I like this pan. It is a good size pan about 12" acrossed the bottem with a 3" deep side. With two easy grip handles. I have only had this pan for a few months. It had paid for it self in those few month. Love the coating on the inside of this pan. Need very little oil to cook with.

I own and love Rachael Ray products, and I am not sure if this item has problems or I just received a defective tea kettle. I've done some research on this item but there is not much info out there on the 1.5 qt size. I know that the 2 qt has had a recall for problems.

When I boiled water in it, it spits water out of pour spout. When I went to pour it dribbles from in between the flip opening and the pour spout.

I would like to hear from other people who have purchased this and if anyone has had similar experiences.

I like the appearance of this but not sure if I should put up with this or send back for replace or refund.

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

It is a good product so far. My husband doesn't like the texture of the handle and it doesn't hold a lot of water. which is fine for us because we usually only make 1 or 2 cups and that is perfect.

My daughter dropped it on the carpet and the handle broke into pieces and could not be fixed, and the nail holding it together had rusted,so I had to throw it out. =(

I wanted a red tea kettle. This one was a nice read, great shape and honestly the right price...BUT IT SUCKS! The first huge problem is that you can't pour your tea because the handle gets hot...REALLY HOT. The second thing is that the sides of the pourer have already melted. Yep...MELTED! Can you imagine a teapot that can't handle the heat of the tea? Rachael Ray should be ashamed of herself. Putting her name on a product that is subpar and unusable. I want to return it, but not sure I can at this point...I'm going to try though. Ridiculous.

We bought both the 12 and 16 quart pots. We couldn't be happier. We have a large family and these sizes are great for pasta, sauce, corn, chili, BBQ...you name it. They are very sturdy, and the bottom is perfectly flat...something we need because we have a ceramic cooktop. They heat evenly and food doesn't stick. We were looking at pots that cost considerably more, but I'm glad we make the choice we did.

I was a bit hesitant to buy this because I never thought very highly about the Farberware brand name (always thought it was a cheap copy of and inferior to All-Clad, Kitchen-Aid, etc.). But the price was too good to pass up, so I took a chance. I'm happy I did because I use this pot all the time now. It has a very thick, heavy core on the bottom, which (pleasantly) surprised me. It's kept its sheen and good looks through many cleanings (though it's too big to fit in a dishwasher unless you have one without the arm that sticks up in the middle). Food sticking has not been an issue. I highly recommend this for someone who needs a big high-quality stockpot but doesn't want to pay All-Clad prices.

This pot works nicely ... heats evenly and cleans well.

I would have given it a 5, but I would be happier if it had a vent/adjustable opening to allow steam to vent somewhat without boiling over.

The lid fits with a very slight bit of room, so steam comes out the edges. This is not preferred since it's easy to get burned even when using the handles if there is a large amount of steam.

Honest reviews on Farberware Classic Stainless Steel Covered Stockpot, 12-Quart

I researched stock pots for a while, and based on the reviews here decided on this Farberware stock pot. After using it one time to make stock, I noticed that the top layer of the inside bottom of the pan was spotty. On closer inspection it appeared that the surface metal had come off in patches (into my stock!). I returned this pan and ordered a replacement. However, the second pan did the same (not as bad though) and so that is being returned too. I'll continue me research and choose a different manufacturer. I'm very grateful that Amazon will take returns and their process is so easy.

This pot is quite beautiful when it comes out of the box. The handles on the sides and lid are particularly elegant. But you buy it for the cooking and it is excellent at that. We've burnt a lot of chile over the years, but not since getting this pot.

One word of advice: I got this thinking it was plenty big for a party's worth of chile. It is not (at least not for a party of 30 or more). Though it might seem crazy, consider getting the 16 quart version if you're going to be entertaining on a large scale.

I love the color and the ease of cleanup. A few minuses: the sides are very tall which makes it difficult to store. It's slightly larger than an average lasagna pan so your favorite recipe won't turn out quite the same. If you also use it to store, the height of the sides makes it hard to fit in the fridge, plus you have to cover the handle openings too so your food won't dry out.

In February of 2012 I purchased this lasagna pan. I loved it when I received it; it had a nice heavy weight to it, solid handles, and a beautiful color that looked great during baking and on the table. In fact, I liked it so much, that I requested the whole Rachel Ray line for the holidays and was planning on buying one for my Mom, who saw it and loved it. Since February I used it a handful of times, no higher than 400 degrees, always hand washed and never subjected it to extreme temperature changes. This weekend, as I was using it, I heard a very loud POP. When I inspected the pan to see what had happened I saw a large semi-circular crack running along the bottom, which within minutes began leaking. Shocked that this happened under normal circumstances I called Amazon, who told me to call RachelRay.com, which I did, who told me to call the manufacturer, Meyer Corp. After calling each company and having them refer me to another, I reached a Meyer representative. After explaining the situation, the representative explained to me that they only guarantee quality upon receipt, meaning, they will refund/exchange an item if it is damaged upon receipt. Once you put it in the oven, even if used under the conditions that they recommend, if the item breaks, or is damaged in any way, they are not responsible. Well, my recommendation to future purchasers of this item and probably this line, is if no one guarantees this item once you use it as it is intended, then don't buy it. I now have an expensive piece of garbage.

The picture is deceptive. The pan depth is only 2.5 inches at it's lowest point. That is only half an inch deeper than a standard 9x13 pan.

Honest reviews on Rachael Ray 9" x 13" Stoneware Rectangular Pans

I believe in giving feedback on Amazon products. Since we cant' see this item in person. I know Rachel Ray has a QVC relationship. However, beyond the flex pay option, Amazon prices are cheaper. I purchased this as a portion of the 4 for 3 promotion. So getting this was a part of the promo deal.

The size of the pan, is astounding. This pan is HUGE. It can easily make 21lb boxes of Lasagna or Ziti. The weight is very good. As well as the color is simply bold and beautiful. Storage may be a bit of a challenge. For someone who does not have a buffet/hutch. Or tons of cabinet space. I suggest, stacking the "bubble and brown" items, inside the "lasgna lover" pan.

I am a very loyal LeCrueset customer. I tried these because of the size and the pot holder handles. I must say the potholder feature is superb. You can easily fit your silicone hand mitts through the holes.

Also, this pan makes an awesome fruit platter, chip dish.

Again, this is a great buy, and even better when it's on sale.

I wish someone had reviewed this before I purchased it. I thought going with metal over the plastic one would be better, but turns out it didn't matter. This thing is completely unstable and tips over! I was getting a pot down and the top 2 fell over on top of me. The little metal piece they give you to "stabilize" the shelf is flimsy and at an tip of the pot goes out of place sending the pot falling to the ground or on top of you like it did to me. Also, if you don't have an even amount of weight hanging on both sides, the entire thing tips over. It's really bad design and unfortunately, I am unable to hang anything in my kitchen so I may need to keep this stupid thing or add on to it so it actually works. I wish I had not purchased this item.

I initially ordered one of these Pot Racks. After I figured out how much room it would take up and how many pots/pans it would hold, I ordered another.

I noticed the problem with the round disks that wouldn't stay in place (that some others mentioned), but I just used a drop of Loctite on each little "pin" that went in the slots. Problem solved. I now have 2 stable racks that are holding most of my pots/pans and also my large bowls/casseroles.

This has to be one of the biggest pieces of junk I've ever purchased. I don't like to give negative reviews but I had to on this one. The picture shows the pots sitting in the middle of the little "pyramid." Included is a little 3 inch ring that is supposed to be what you sit the pot on to store it. Even if the ring stayed in place, which it doesn't, it's not anywhere big enough for the pot to sit on and stay put. Trying to remove a pot or frying pan causes all the pots to fall off their nesting place. I finally became so frustrated that I threw the thing in the trash. Not worth a penny much less the asking price.

I was better off with the pots stacked inside each other. My pots will not sit on the shelves because it is a cross of metal holding them and it is almost impossible to balance a pot or pan on the shelf. They fall down all the time and I can't reach past them without lightly brushing them and then clattering to the floor. The circle of metal meant to stabilize the thing didn't help it either. It stands up fine on its own but it'd be nice if it actual held the pots. I am trying to justify keeping it because I want it to work, but it is no easier to access them and I'm getting tired of continually balancing them back on the shelves. I hate this thing.

Review of World Class Supreme Ceramic Cookware

Supreme Ceramics
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I have been waiting for a complete set of ceramics for my kitchen. I got mine a couple of months ago, so I am writing this review now to give my true opinion.

I noticed that the honeycomb bottoms disperse the heat evenly. Eggs are cooked easily without any sticking to the pan. Even when I made omelets with tons of cheese!

Also, all of the lids have a breather hole in them, which is great for keeping things from boiling over.

Clean up has always been quite easy. Even after 2 months of heavy use, there seems to be no change to the ceramic coating. Everything is just like they were when they came out of the box.

I couldn't be happier. I only wish they made a wok and a few other sizes to complete the collection.

The product is exactly what was described, except that when I researched the company, I found that Tramontina's website claims that their products are manufactured in the USA. So I was quite surprised to find that the box this one arrived in was clearly marked, "Made in China." I had already purchased and returned a comparable Dutch oven that I bought because I got such a great deal on it. So I was quite disappointed to find that in the end I paid more for standing on principle, and ended up with the very same issue. Bummer. The vendor should include this information on the Amazon.com website.

Not only do I cook great soups, stews, chili, and tagines in this dutch oven, it is also wonderful for making no-knead artisan breads. (See my images for proof.) I see no reason to purchase the mondo-priced alternatives from other manufacturers when this powerhouse does it all and for much, much less money.

Follow all Tramontina instructions for seasoning the rims of the dutch oven and by all means don't use metal for stirring in this pot (though I do cheat and use metal tongs for browning roasts and large pieces of meat.)

Clean up is very, very simple. Anything I've ever cooked as pretty much wiped out of the pot on the first try. The rare occasions something sticks, I use these --> Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scouring Pads 20 Count

Vollrath 67907 8-Gauge Aluminum Wear-Ever Fry Pan with TriVent Review

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I bought this little skillet to use while solo hiking. Those ultra lightweight backpacking pans are not good for much other than heating water. This Vollrath 7 inch skillet is ruggedly built yet weighs only 15 ounces. I don't force-march 40 miles a day so the extra weight is acceptable to me. I like being able to cook in a pan similar to something you would have at home only a little smaller. The skillet is thick aluminum so it heats evenly. The sloping sides make it easy to use a small lightweight spatula for turning food, be it a large burger or a small pancake.

I would have given this pan 5 stars but the silicone grip on the handle was split on both sides. I was able to repair it with some black silicone gasket maker I happened to have at home.

I purchased this saucepan specifically for heating goat milk prior to making goat yogurt. It heats excellently, the milk doesn't stick to the bottom, there are no rivets on the inside of the pan (for the handle) for the milk to get stuck to like my other pans, and the added bonus of this pan is that it has a pour spout on both sides making it extremely easy to pour the milk into the yogurt maker container without all the spillage I used to experience from other pans. It also is made of stainless steel so it doesn't have all the chemicals that Teflon pans (which can cause cancer)do. This pan would be great for any other cooking too such as cooking soup, vegetables (easy strainer lid), etc.

Honest reviews on Norpro KRONA 1.5 Quart Vented Sauce Pan with Straining Lid

This is a comparative review of the "Norpro KRONA 1.5 Quart Vented Sauce Pan with Straining Lid" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000E2PO3/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) vs. the "Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Cook and Pour Saucepan with Cover [2 qt.]" (http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-719-18P-Classic-Stainless-Saucepan/dp/B000E5CW84/ref=pd_sim_k_3)

Background: I was using a conventional 1.5 qt. pot to make tea (was previously using this glass tea pot, with infuser, but decided the infuser didn't give the tea leaves room to fully expand, plus I broke one too many of them: http://www.amazon.com/GROSCHE-Infuser-included-infuser-capcity/dp/B004PV7IDW/ref=pd_sim_hg_6). I'd make the tea and then pour it through a strainer into my Klean Kanteen 40 oz wide-mouth bottle. With the 1.5 qt. pot, with 40 oz. of water, there was just enough height to the rim (5/8") to allow me to stir without spilling. But a straining saucepan is much more convenient, so I ordered the Norpro, was unsatisfied with the design, and thus returned it and bought the Cuisinart, which I've kept. Both have flaws:

DESIGN: CUISINART WINS:

For me, the principal problem with the Norpro is the spout. First, unlike with the Cuisinart, the spout design on the Norpro causes a small loss in capacity, which for me was a problem. Specifically, on the Norpro the rim dips ¼" at the spout (the Cuisinart's rim is the same level everywhere). Since I was filling it almost to capacity, I got spillage with the Norpro (where I didn't with my conventional 1.5 qt. pot). If you don't need the full 1.5 quarts, this would not be an issue for you. Of course, the Cuisinart also has a larger capacity (2 qt.), but the point is that it is designed so that, unlike the Norpro, you don't lose any capacity because of the presence of the spout.

Second, and of more general concern, is that the spout on the Norpro is very wide (the Cuisinart's is narrow). With both the Norpro and the Cuisinart, when the pot is tipped onto its side to fully empty it into my Klean Kanteen botttle, the tea leaves (as expected) pile up again the holes and partly block those in the center. With the Cuisinart's narrow spout, this isn't an issue I still get a nice, narrow stream into my bottle. However, with the Norpro's wide spout, the stream splits into two, making it impossible to avoid spilling over the side of my bottle. If you are pouring into a bowl, this would not be an issue. But if you are pouring into something with a narrower mouth, the Norpro may not work for you.

In addition, I find the Cuisinart's solid handle more comfortable than the Norpro's bent rod design, but this is personal preference.

There are, however, two design areas in which the Norpro has the edge: (1) Because of its welded handle, it doesn't have rivet heads on the inside of the pot, making for easier cleaning; and (2) I think the Norpro has a somewhat more elegant look the Cuisinart's appearance is a bit clunkier.

One design flaw with both of these is that there's a narrow shelf under the periphery of the lid, right where the steel side meets the glass top. Food can get caught in there when you pour, and a toothbrush is needed to clean it out.

CONSTRUCTION AND QUALITY CONTROL: NORPRO APPEARS TO WIN

The Cuisinart is clearly made to a price point -it doesn't appear to have quite the build quality of the Norpro. First, Cuisinart's production control is not the best, resulting in inter-unit variation in the quality of the rivet attachments. I purchased the Cuisinart locally, and two of the three they had in stock showed very small gaps between the edges of the rivet heads and the inner surface of the pot, into which food could enter; on the third, the rivets mated more closely to the surface, so I bought that one. Second, the Cuisinart's stainless steel is of low quality it easily develops rust spots (I've never seen rust spots with my other stainless steel cookware), forcing me to do extra maintenance with using Bon Ami. I should add, though, that as soon as I figured out the Norpro wouldn't work for me, I returned it. Thus I never put it in the dishwasher, or left it covered with water inside, like I did the Cuisinart hence it's possible the Norpro might also fall short in this second area (that's why I wrote "appears" to win).

I looked for a while for a 1.5 qt pot. I wanted a see-through lid. It would be used for cooking sauces, vegetables, reheating food, canned soup... It had to be well made.

This pot did all that and it also could strain the vegetables. I didn't have to get out the strainer. And it is easily to clean.

I use it all the time.

My only comment is that the lid does not fit tight on the pot. It's not for cooking rice or anything like that. But for me, I use a larger pot for those things.

I absolutely love these covers. I bought the larger version when I was on vacation this summer and immediently went looking for more sizes. They are great for warming things in the microwave, storing things in the refridgerator, and as lids on the stove (with care). The only reason this size did not get 5 stars, is because it is a hair too small. The lids go from 8 1/2 in. down to 4 in. with nothing inbetween. Great for coffee cups but slightly small for my utility bowls that I use to melt butter, etc. Still I use them on a daily basis and love them. A wise buy.

I feel like I'm not wasting tons of plastic wrap for little jobs. The only thing I don't like is that you can't really put anything else on top of it in the frig due to the little 'handle' on top (more of a problem with the larger lids with the larger handles).

I bought these plates for their shape, size, color and great price. The plates are well made. They are thick enough to resist chipping and breakage yet not so heavy as to be burdensome when loading and unloading from the dish washer. They are consistent in shape and stack well. Also the narrow rim means more space for food for a given size plate. I bought them six months ago and have used them ever since without any problems. I originally ordered two boxes of twelve plates and one box arrived with a broken plate. Amazon replaced the box immediately, this time with the box of plates wrapped in bubble wrap within another box. Problem solved.
