I bought a demeyere proline/atlantis 11" frying pan, and burned some sauce in it while trying to deglaze. The pan was covered in burned-on oil and carbon residue -not really hindering the performance, but no longer beautifully stainless steel.

I have a company-provided housekeeper, but she is more familiar with cleaning $3 non-stick than $200 frying pans, and I was afraid she might damage it, so I hid the pan and ordered some Demeyere cleaner to my APO ("hey man, what did you get in the mail from home?" "special belgian softscrub to clean my pans" "I got beef jerky and wetnaps"). 8 days later, in the mail, I received the best cleaner ever. It took a little bit of force to wipe away the worst oil residue, using a green scotchbrite and a sponge, but overall it was actually not that difficult. The end result is a perfectly new-looking pan with no scratches.

I also used some of the cleaner on copper, and it worked fine, although it might not be ideal for a heavily tarnished pan.

The real test was enameled cast iron (from IKEA) -I totally burned something on it, so there was a thick layer of black carbon. I used Bar Keeper's Friend first, plus soaking, but in the end, the Demeyere cleaner actually worked with the BKF to remove the last of the carbon.

At $10/bottle, it's a bit pricey compared to $2-3 alternatives, but seems to work much better, and doesn't damage expensive cookware. It is the only cleaner (other than soap and water) I'd use on the Demeyere, and probably my first choice for any "difficult" cookware cleaning problem.

As promised, this cleans up my Demeyere as well as all other cookware quite effectively. The Demeyere cookware though needs much less cleaning so I use this on all clad mostly. I also use it to clean stainless appliances both small and built-in. Works better than all other cleaners I've tried.

trying to find this ring for my model pressure canner, I had to turn to the internet for a replacement. This would not normally be a problem except that this was in the middle of the heaviest part of my canning season. I was afraid that I would be without my canner for more than a week while I waited for the part to come in. However, after I ordered this part through Amazon, I received it in the mail within 4 days. When we're talking about canning fresh produce, a few days can mean the difference between setting aside jars for the winter or consuming it all (if possible) immediately before spoilage occurs. I would highly recommend this seller as their shipping was extremely fast, the item was exactly as it was described, and I was able to get back to canning the produce from our garden in short order.

The presto foldaway is a nice design with the large cooking surface and collapsable legs make it easy to store. Performance was way below what I expected. The heat is not evenly distributed at all. Even after letting it warm up for 10 to 20 minutes, the pancakes would come out with one half of one side nearly burnt, and the other half of the same side white. To avoid burning the pancakes you have to turn them before you should then the pancakes get puffy bumps on them because one side of the pancake is getting more heat on it, so the end result is a pancake that looks like volcano cake. Turning the temperature down didn't help either, it only took longer to get a pancake that looked the one I just described. While testing out the cooking surface, I was able to pour 9 pancakes, because of the uneven heating surface, the cakes on the outer edges cooked faster and the one on the top right nearest the control cooked much faster than the others. The one in the center had to be moved to the outside to finish cooking.

The only thing that folds is the side supports; when folded, it lays flatter but still takes up a lot of storage space. It cooks fairly evenly (a little hotter near the control) and really can cook 9 pancakes (or 9 eggs) at a time. It slopes slightly toward the front, which is great for bacon (drainage) but not so good for frying eggs (I sometimes shim the front sides to level it up). I haven't scratched the cooking surface yet, but I'm pretty careful with it. Overall I am very happy with it.

Best Deals for Presto 07050 Cool-Touch Foldaway Griddle

I really enjoy this griddle. I don't have a ton of storage space so I needed a foldaway unit. The legs fold down so it's not more than 2" wide & you can easily slide it into a storage cabinet. The heating element works well there are a couple of less-hot spots, but nothing that makes the unit unworkable. The non-stick surface is also very easy to clean.

Honest reviews on Presto 07050 Cool-Touch Foldaway Griddle

We bought this griddle at Target for just under $40. We made 6 pancakes on it after we got it home, 4 in one batch, 2 the next. The pancakes turned out great, even better than when we used the pan on the stove. We didn't notice any cool spots. And it heated up quickly, while we prepared the batter. I believe we will get a lot of good use out of this. Also, the fact that it is fully submersible and dishwasher safe, after removing the plug in element, and has a catch tray for any grease, just makes it that much better.

I got this griddle for my birthday about a month ago as a gift. I'd been searching for a replacement for the old jumbo griddle I have because it's incredibly difficult to clean and too large for the number of people I normally feed. I've used this new griddle a couple times now and I have slightly mixed feelings for it. I really like how the plastic legs on the side fold under to make the storage profile a little smaller. The square shape also helps with storage because can fit into a cupboard easier. It's not as small as the griddles that fold in half for storage, but that's okay because I think the heating is more even this way. I wish that the control held the item/temp. equivalent chart that my old one did because now I have to look up what temperature I need for pancakes or sandwiches. The other thing that's unfortunate is that I wanted a griddle that would be easier to clean, but it turns out that the foldaway griddle is slightly wider than my sink is. I'm sure this isn't a problem if you have a dishwasher, but you might want to measure your sink before purchasing if you wash your electric griddle by hand.

On the plus side, the heating seems to be pretty evenly distributed if you let it warm up properly. And I was really surprised at how spacious the square design turned out to be. You can easily fit six good-sized pork chops on there without crowding them in the least.

I have been looking for a blender for a few weeks now. We have started making smoothies at home and burned up our old one. Our girls like the "Chocolate Elvis" recipe from the local smoothie place which contains peanutbutter, bananas, yogurt, ice, and milk. I guess this is really hard on blenders. I bought one at Target 2 weeks ago that had "700 watts peak power" on the box. It died in 2 days. The power spec on the bottom of the blender said 450 watts. I think that is false advertisement. I have seen this on 2 different blenders now.

I have been leery of buying any blender with the little plastic teeth couplers because of all the bad reviews here on Amazon. I also wanted to stay away from anything with only 450 watts.

I was in another store and saw this blender. It has a new design for where the blades couple with the motor. "Commercial quality couplers with 12 interlocking teeth....coated for quiet operation".

We have had it for a few days now and have made some pretty thick smoothies. So far, so good. No burning smell like the one that was immediately apparent with the Target blender. My youngest daughter complanied that her smoothie was "too smooth". I guess she got used to the chunks of ice that our past blenders have left.

Kitchenaid doesn't seem to advertise the actual power specs on their blenders. On the bottom of this one it says that it draws 6 amps. Which is about 720 watts or about 0.9 horsepower.

My only complaint so far is the soft start feature. The blade starts at a slower speed then quickly increases to the speed you chose. This process still throws everything up into the lid, which is what it should prevent. It works fine though as long as you have the lid on. It also works if you start with the slowest speed and work your way up.

Overall this blender seems to be well made and pretty well thought out. The cord storage on the bottom is a great feature. It has much bigger feet than the previous model. So far, I would highly recommend this blender for the person looking for a good blender in the under $200 range.

Added comments:

It is a year and about 300 smoothies later and we still have this blender. I would highly recommend it!!

We bought this Kitchenaid blender over a year ago, and after several months the container started to leak. The leak was small, and we put up with it for awhile. We finally got tired of the mess, however, and called the factory. We were told that the container had been redesigned, and they would send us a new one immediately even though our warranty had expired. When we got the new one we could see that it had indeed been redesigned, and have used it for some time now, and NO LEAKS. A leak proof container plus the other great features of this blender now warrant a definite five stars.

3/24/12 update. Our blender is now five years old, is used every day, and has been problem free since they replaced the container in 2008.

My husband and I make smoothies almost every single night (as in, 6-7 nights/week), so we're really hard on our blenders. We have been through 4 blenders in the last 3 years alone. We started with a cheap Oster blender, but quickly realized that it was pretty much useless for the thick smoothies we like to make. Next, I bought the Back to Basics Smoothie Elite, which was great for as long as it held up, but as it turned out, that was only 6 months. So, we upgraded to the Back to Basics Smoothie Professional, which was great until I dropped the glass jar into the sink and broke it, only to find that you couldn't buy a new one ANYWHERE so my $120 blender was now worthless.

After all this, I decided to stop fooling around and buy a Kitchenaid. This blender has all the power you need (way more power than any of the first 3 blenders I bought; both the smoothie blenders came with a stir stick, but such a thing isn't even necessary when you have the power of this Kitchenaid), and is a steal at $99, since we've had it for a year now and it's still as good as new. The motor is unstoppable, the blade is fantastic, it cleans easily, the jar is polycarbonate (i.e. unbreakable if you drop it), and there is a removable plastic piece in the lid in case you do want to use a stir stick.

I love this blender, and when it dies (which I hope/believe will be years from now, given how reliable my other Kitchenaid appliances are) I will be replacing it with the exact same make and model. It's everything a blender should be!

Honest reviews on KitchenAid 5-Speed Blenders with Polycarbonate Jars

I was loving this blender until a couple weeks into owning it and making smoothies daily, I noticed that it was leaking from the bottom of the carafe below the blade. The longer I used it, the worse the leak got until it was virtually pouring out of the bottom of the blender everytime I used it. So I returned it to Amazon and got a replacement. Thinking it was a fluke, I began to use my replacement blender. It is now a couple weeks old and again it is beginning to leak from under the carafe. The motor and everything below the carafe is wonderful, but it appears that there is a design flaw with how the blade is secured to the bottom of the carafe. The nut slowly begins to loosen and with time begins to leak. I would not recommend taking a risk on this model. Looking at the higher priced professional Kitchen Aid model, it appears to have the same carafe and may have the same problem so you may want to try a different manufacturer or research it further before making a purchase.

UPDATE: My original purchase was in 2007, and I'm surprised that people are still buying them in 2013 and commenting to my original review that the same leaky carafe issue remains. Buyer beware. KitchenAid customer service seems to be telling untruths to customers that the carafe has been redesigned, when it hasn't. I have often wondered if it's their own staff that is writing all of these positive reviews about the blender, because it's clearly poorly designed, and still leaks. Some food for thought before considering this manufacturer.

Love how the blender looks, but it's got a major, major design flaw. The problem is that after a few weeks of daily use making my smoothies, a leak developted at the base of the jar where the blade attaches. This leak got progressively worse to the point that within a month, my smoothie was completely dripping out the bottom and covering the motor housing. There is a cheap plastic nut that holds the blade to the jar, and this nut will not stay tight. Tried retihgtening it multiple times by hand, but kept coming loose. Finally, I tried tightening it down with a socket and the rubber gasket that creates the seal got twisted from the added pressure and brokethus making the jar completely useless. There are other posts stating this problem-Strongly recommend you search for another blender. REALLY wanted this one to be a blender I would have for years, but, didn't last two monthsVERY DISSAPOINTED. Shame on KitchenAid for not using a stainless steel nut with a fine thread that could be permanently tightend. Advice to KitenAid-get design engineers with some experience, and dont cut corners! I really wonder if KitchenAid even tested this blender before they brought it to market.

Got fed up with teflon coated pans, the coating is just too fragile so they wear out quickly and the food ends up sticking anyway. Plus, I'm sure they're not the best for your health. So, I went for a plain old stainless pan instead and I don't regret it! This pan is well made, it has a nice weight to it, and the silicone grip makes it easy to handle. It heats evenly, and retains that heat beautifully. I find I don't have to turn my burner up nearly as high as I did with my old pan. I've mainly used it for cooking eggs and bacon in the morning, so I can't really comment on cooking anything else. But for those items, it's been a dream.

There's a bit of a learning curve with stainless though, you can't just turn the heat on, throw some oil and food in and expect things not to stick. You have to heat the pan for a couple minutes before you put the oil in, then let the oil heat up for a bit. The goal is to get the pan and oil hot enough to cause the water in the food to vaporize, creating a cushion between the food and the pan (or at least, that's what google told me). You'll have to experiment with different temperatures; you don't want it too cold, but you don't want it too hot either. Too much heat will break the oil down and cause things to burn and stick anyway. It takes a few tries to get the balance just right, but you'll figure it out. Once you do, it's better than non-stick! I can slide a serving of scrambled eggs out onto a plate without leaving a trace in the pan. I simply wipe the remaining oil residue out with a paper towel and it's ready for next time! And yes, you have to use oil for EVERYTHING. Even greasy things like bacon, or else it'll stick. The cold fat will adhere like glue. You don't need to use more than a teaspoon though, so it's probably not going to kill you.

By the way, if things do start to stick badly (and if you're anything like me, it will happen in the beginning... a lot), simply pour a bit of hot tap water into the hot pan on the stove (not cold water, you don't want to warp the metal!) and scrape around with a spatula. You'll easily get most of the gunk out that way. Then take it to the sink and use a scrubber pad (you can do that with stainless, yay!) and some soap to clean out the rest. Good as new, no big deal.

So, if you're willing to do a little experimenting and develop the skills required to use it, buy this pan! The ladies dig guys who know how to use a stainless steel pan correctly. At least, that's what I like to believe...

Nice heavy pan. The weight is a real pleasure. (Yes it is heavy, it's supposed to be, say thank you, don't complain.) Takes longer to heat up on my crappy electric stove than a thinner non-stick pan. But it's supposed to. I can also cook with almost exactly half the heat that my Calphalon non-stick pans require. I haven't cooked with All-Clad or any of the high end pans, I specifically tried this hoping I wouldn't have to pay the premium price for those. (Though I do have a few pieces of Le Creuset cast iron. The big dutch oven and an 11.5 inch skillet. So I do know what good performance is.)

My only complaint is the color of the red/pink silicone handle cover. This is commercial cookware, so I get it. Bright colors in a fast and busy kitchen. The color doesn't look bad, it's just not a color I especially like.

Another reviewer complained that the silicone handle cover was too short. It is a heavy pan, I suppose I can understand the point if you wanted to use two hands or if you didn't have a lot of strength in your wrists. But once again, this is commercial cookware. Anyone working as a cook is going to be able to manage a pan one handed. The cover is certainly long enough and with some to spare, to grip safely with one hand and even two if you're careful and need to move a full pan across the room.

All in all, it cooks a lot like my Le Creuset 11.5 inch cast iron in terms of heat distribution. Not quite as good, but it cost 25% as much too. And it's a lot easier to take care of.

Finally this really is a 3-ply pan, layers go all the way up the sides. Very uniformly made. I almost didn't try this because it has so few reviews. I'm glad I did. Pick up some barkeepers friend and you're set.

This is a good quality pan and is heavy and sturdy. My only complaint is that the silicone sleeve isn't long enough over the handle. My hand has to hold the metal part also, to balance the heavy pan, and it is not comfortable at all. The handle is very thin and rough to the touch. Otherwise, the pan cooks food very quickly and cleans up well.

I bought this hoping the price wasn't necessarily indicative of quality, and my risk paid off! The stainless surface isn't as smooth as, say, an All-Clad or Calphalon, so it usually takes a bit more scrubbing to clean thoroughly, but it works just fine for cooking crepes and omelets. Additionally, it is still pretty slow to heat up, but it does get very hot, and cooks evenly. And, though other reviews say otherwise, I didn't find this pan to be too heavy; I have a DeBuyer Mineral B Iron skillet (lighter than lodge cast irons), which is still significantly more heavy than this pan. I'm not a body-builder, but I can still toss vegetables with it while sautéing them.

Probably the one thing that bothered me (though it really shouldn't have), was that though the brand is "Winco USA," the pan is made in China. I thought this would be the case, but held out my hopes anyway.

At the $30 price tag that's been on Amazon for a couple months or so, and for a skillet that does just what it should, this is an amazing deal.

I make a lot of single servings of oatmeal due to the caffeine addiction of the other people in my house. I looked for a good pot for single servings. My existing All-Clad 1 liter pots are too big (diameter).

First I bought the All Clad 1/2 Quart Butter Warmer All-Clad Stainless Butter Warmer with Pour Spouts, which is just a mini version of a normal All Clad saucepan. I like the All Clad, but it's too small in case I want to throw someting else in like a banana.

Then I bought the 3 cup Le Creuset pan. It's the perfect size. The bottom is heavy and looks to be three ply, although the sides are thin. That plus the size are the real difference between the All Clad and Le Creuset. The bottom and sides on the All Clad are three ply (although it's twice the price).

Even though they call this a Measuring Pan, it works very well as a standard saucepan (but in miniature).

It is difficult to find small pans for my induction cooktop and was pleased to see these I ordered both the 2 cup and 3 cup. They are good quality pans, fairly heavy with a rounded-over lip, and I like the measurement markings on the inside of the pan both cups and ml. The problem is that they don't work on my induction cooktop. They're nice pans so I'm giving them to my kids instead of returning them.

I bought this to heat milk. Since it's 3 ply I assumed easy cleanup (like my other 3 ply pans). This one's of poor quality. The milk quickly burned on the bottom of pan and was very difficult to clean.

This sturdy, well-built pan is perfect for small amounts needing heating or cooking. The measuring cup aspect wasn't important to me but rather the overall size. It's hard to find.

These hooks match the ones on my new hanging bar rack perfectly. They were a bit pricey, but I needed more hooks, so it was worth the price. They are sturdy and the copper color is great!
