The wok works very well EXCEPT the handle has a defect. It spins and is not anchored to the base. I bought one for someone else and they had the same problem. It's a manufacturer's defect. Too bad, cause the wok is very good. The handle isn't a problem until you wash pan in sink. They when you try to hold the handle firm so you can wipe wok with sponge, it turns and turns.

The price is very reasonable, I wasn't expecting the quality to be this good. The silicone covered handles are a nice feature.

perfect blend of materials and engineering. It is just the right thickness on the pan itself, heats quickly, and if the included directions are followed EXACTLY, it is non-stick when seasoned. I've used it for about a month now (30-35 times) and it is exactly what it is supposed to be. I like the handle, and have no experience of it being loose at all. Great value for what you get--highly recommended

Honest reviews on Concept Housewares Stir Fry Pans with Silicone Handles

Bought about a year ago, used about 50 times.

the non-stick well, does not last forever. I use about once/week, maybe more than others will, and when I go to replace will go with the stainless unit instead.

however, the weight of this wok is excellent, nice and heavy, the candles are comfortable and secure. holds up great after cooking and washing.

good quality all around, nice size as well.

I use on electric cook-top, with the element exposed. heats evenly and about 2 inches up the sides, perfect for wok cooking.

only after about 35 40 washes, the non-stick is, well, sticking now. So I use a bit more coconut oil, will likely last me several more years.

I first encountered both Moroccan cuisine and Le Creuset's version of the classic Moroccan tajine in France several years ago. Only upon my return to the United States, however, was my desire for this obscure item finally fulfilled. As is the case with all Le Creuset cookware I've used, the tajine's heavy cast iron base distributes heat evenly and effectively. The tajine is essentially a braising device: the temperature differential between the hot base and the cooler ceramic top causes rising steam to condense, basting the contents as they cook. A simple tajine of chicken and sweet potato with stewed prunes or apricots and almonds produces impeccably moist chicken and well-cooked vegetables each and every time. I've yet to try my hand at lamb, but I anticipate similarly succulent results. The base alone serves equally well for small curries, sauces or stews. My only wish would be for a slightly larger tajine; the two-liter capacity is perfect for two to four people, but would be too small for any more copious meal. Ultimately, though, this is an unusual and unusually versatile and effective piece of cookware and I feel very fortunate to own one!

I loved using this piece of cookware until I noticed the enamel on the base is flaking off. It wouldn't be a problem if it was on the outside of the base, but it's on the inside, so I haven't used it since noticing. I see everyone else is very happy with theirs, so it might be that I got a defective one. Le Creuset wants me to pay for the shipping to send it back (both the top and bottom piece, even though the bottom is the only part with the problem) so they can evaluate it. It's pretty heavy, so I'm pondering whether to skip the shipping and just move to a different brand and toss this one. Hopefully nobody else will have this problem with theirs. Mine is about a year old, and I've used it maybe 10 times. Update: I decided to return the unit and they replaced it without a problem. I think the shipping was around $20, but hopefully this one won't have any issues. Another update: no problems with this new one. I may have been at fault for the flaking afterall I had put the heat on high a couple times, to get it to heat up faster, and that probably caused the flaking. Be sure to keep the heat low at all times. It was well worth the $20 shipping charge to get another one. Very happy with this product. Upgraded to 5 stars.

In the Le Creuset fashion, this tagine is beautifully and authentically styled. Although original tagines were made of clay, this cast model cooks beautifully and can be used on stove top or in the oven. The unusual funnel shape helps to maintain moisture in the food, and blends the flavors into mouthwateriing dishes. I love the quality of Le Creuset and am very happy to add this tagine to my collection.

The tagine works as advertised. We've had three meals and all were excellent. On the "con" side, heat transfers to the lid and it can get quite hot. Size is an issue when trying to cook for more than three or four people. Other than that, we are very pleased with the results. The Tagine was delivered in just a few days, which was a pleasant surprise.

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)This "luxury" damask runner is a lightweight, single-ply, polyester runner with gold tassels at each angled end. The background is ivory, with a two-tone gold/beige floral pattern. Unfortunately, because the material is both slippery and thin, it can easily slip from its position unless something on top holds it in place. It does look nice, however, and it serves its purpose. I just wish it were heavier, either because of another layer of fabric on the back or a better material. Still, I got what I paid for.

I'm really upset as I got this runner specifically because it said in online that it is machine washable and I knew that it will probably get dirty eventually, so when I received it, it said spot clean and tassels are not washable.

This table runner looks nice, is simple and elegant. I give it a 3 though, as the material is of average quality and is a bit too thin for my liking. Since it is so thin, it slides very easily unless you have items holding it in place.

At first I was nervous about getting a pan without the long handle and how I would hold it while draining ground beef, but now that I have this one I couldn't be happier. My husband works a 12 hour night shift and I have to send him with a healthy meal that is not only easy to cook but quick and easy for him to microwave and eat at work. So I started making him all-in-one skillet meals sort of like Hamburger Helper only healthier with veggies and whole wheat pasta.

I was worried about the chemicals in nonstick cookware and I was getting tired of always knocking the long handle of my skillet and nearly dropping the whole thing off the stove. It took several days of research to find and choose this pan. There are very few other everyday pans with a clear lid and this one had no reviews but I gave it a shot and it's exactly what I needed. Stainless is a bit tricky to cook with and it takes some practice. I have to use a lower flame with this pan because it heats up quickly and retains heat so well.

It's not nonstick so you have to use oil to cook and you have to wait for the oil to heat up before putting anything into it. At first it may seem to be terrible with food sticking to the bottom, but it will release once the food is fully cooked and it's not hard to clean if something does stick to it, just soak a bit in warm soapy water and give it a good scrub with a green scouring pad. That may be the best part as it will sit flat in the bottom of my sink where my old traditional skillet with the long handle would not fit so it had to be soaked on the counter.

This pan can also go into the oven and I can bake seasoned chicken breast in it which means that this pan also replaced some old bakeware. The fewer items I have to store in my kitchen, the better.

Overall, this was a great purchase and I would recommend this to anyone looking to replace that old rusty nonstick skillet.

I bought this skillet to replace a non-stick skillet that was starting to wear. I am trying to replace all my non-stick with stainless for several reasons but mainly because stainless just lasts so long. I have another Cuisinart pot that is from the 80's, which I use several times a week, wash in the dishwasher and it is still in great condition.

This pot is just the right size for most the meals I cook for my family of four. I love that it has a glass lid and that is can go in the dishwasher. I also like how it doesn't have a longer handle so it doesn't take up as much space in my cabinet. The handles do get warm, but I'm used to using pot holders with my other pots so it's not an issue for me. It cleans up pretty well although I do notice if I soak it for a little bit before going into the dishwasher, it does help.

For the price it's selling at, I think this is a great deal and I hope to use it for years to come.

Picked this up for my Uncle Joe for Christmas, and he can't stop raving about it.

Only complaint he has about the pan is that instructions state not for high heat cooking.

Even though his stove is crooked the pan seems to cook pretty evenly for being two pieces.

Two pieces, meaning the pan is not one solid piece of metal,

So far so good... Knock on wood.

I had this in my cart but found it locally for the same price and I could have it immediately! I just love it! Replaces an old non-stick I didn't want to use anymore and actually it cleans up well with a little soak. That is worth it to me not to be ingesting the non-stick material. It is heavy, sturdy, heats evenly, can go in the oven, and doesn't have a long handle to work around. I have a flat surface cooktop and even heavy pans can spin if the handle is accidentally hit dangerous. I really like the glass lid so that I can see without removing the lid and letting heat escape.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I bought two of these for Christmas gifts. One was for a gourmet cook in the family the other is a friend who loves entertaining and loves doing unique things. I also bought a tagine "deck" of recipes. I put that, along with all the non-perishable ingredients for one of the recipes, in the tagine and wrapped it up in clear cellophane. It was a huge hit! I did season the tagine first but it came with no instructions on how to do it, so I had to look it up. (You soak it in a bathtub overnight, let it dry, then put it in a 300 degree oven for 2 hours, then let it cool in the oven this will take a long time I put it in the oven at 9 a.m. at 10 p.m. it was still warm, which I think means that it will make a great serving vessel too. I wanted them to be able to cook with it immediately upon receipt of the gift). I had read that tagines needed an opening in the top and couldn't tell for sure if this one opened from the picture. It does not, but there is a small hole in the upper portion of one side, which I'm hoping will be enough. No one has cooked in it yet, though both recipients seemed genuinely excited about receiving it (I think it was my most well-received gift this year) and really seemed to want to jump right in and try cooking with it one of them spent about an hour looking up recipes on the internet after receiving the gift. The other says she put it on a shelf in their kitchen because it is a pretty piece of cookware she says everyone who has come in has asked about it it has been a real conversation starter and she is planning on cooking in it this week. It was packaged great in fact it took me about 30-45 minutes to get it free from its packaging. I think it would be great for entertaining. Invite 2-4 people over, cook in it and serve from it on the table it's bound to be the center of conversation. My kids wanted me to order one for ourselves so we could cook in it so if you want to introduce your children to this kind of cuisine this might be a good way to get them to eat it. To cook with it on the stove, you might consider ordering a diffuser as well they are about $14 online.

These were just what we wanted for single serving sized cooking tagines. The finish is rustic and looks authentic enough for those that are worried about that, but they do a great job cooking. The tagines were delivered in a heavily padded box (with no instructions, so you have to know how to work with them before using them) and arrvied within days of ordering. I ordered two and they were both were in great condition when they arrived. Beautiful, simple, and elegant, cooking with them is a dream. 10 years from now I should come back and let you know how they hold up. I'm sure by then the food will taste incredible simply by being associated with the tagines, since they should be well seasoned by then!

Use them more and your food will taste better and better... Also, make sure to soak and season yours and clean them the correct way and they will continue to work well for years and the food will simply taste better and better. Also, don't place these into a preheated oven. ALWAYS place them in the oven as it heats up or you risk cracking and destroying your tagines.

This tagine in really cool. It is a darker than in the photo, so it does not have a rough "terra cotta" look at all. The finish work is pretty good and the ceramic is good and thick (heat retention is great). 9.5 inch size is great for a couple folks (probably 2 to 3). It came about as wrapped as something can get, so there was about zero chance of breakage (thank you Treasures of Morocco).

Make sure to season it. There are no instructions with it, but there is enough information on line that it is not hard to figure out what to do. Really hard to beat the value of this thing; easy to afford a second one in a different size for when we have guests or one in the same size if we want to cook a second dish.

Plan on using this on a gas burner equiped with a cast iron heat diffuser.

Honest reviews on Cooking Medium Tagine by Treasure Of Morocco

Arrived in perfect condition, very well packed. These are exactly the tagines we saw in every market in Morocco. I would have loved to been able to bring them home with me but they are heavy, bulky, and fragile. I was thrilled to find Treasures of Morocco had these same tangines. Have already made several dinners and they worked out great. Be sure to follow the directions for seasoning them before you use them. I soaked mine in the bathtub.

I waited for several months to write this review since the primary use for this frypan was to prepare omelets, and since I use the "slide it out and fold with the lip of the pan" technique, it has to truly be non-stick. My first act was to put it through my own seasoning process, well actually the seasoning process of the Wok Shop in San Francisco. I am happy to report that it works and works well. More than I can say for our super expensive Calphalon infused utensils. Season it before use, wash only with water and a scrubber of your choice, and heat and re-oil after every use. It's light weight, heats rapidly and is truly non-stick. Oh, and yes, the handle does get hot -use a towel or hot pad for crying out loud.

This is not a cast iron pan, in the sense of the old seasoned pans your mother had.

I like how light it is. But.......

It does not distribute the heat evenly.

And everything sticks to the ridges on the inside.

The way it was ground down on the inside left spiral ridges.

I have cooked and seasoned, cooked and seasoned.

Had some reservations about thin body and riveted handle until I saw how sturdily it was made.

It heats sooo evenly, heats up Fast, and nothing sticks to it (Goodby stainless!)! :o)

Yes, you still have to treat it like your softest Teflon to last!

Never pre-heat... fry pans on High (5 Max/electric), and 7 Max on sauce pans when boiling for yummy rice... (boils sooo evenly across entire surface!).

If I had it to do again I'd probably consider purchasing the pieces I use most separately?-

I don't use their saute pan, and the 6qt Stock pot is too small (for my Big batches of Elk spaghetti sauce).

I bought their 12" fry pan, and use it instead of their 10".

I love this cookware. I used to dread scouring the pots and pans after cooking a meal. No more, these are a breeze to clean. Just a quick swipe and the excess food is gone. No scrubbing or tedious scouring.

Honest reviews on Spirit 10-Piece Cookware Set

First I'd like to address the comment that this product is made in China. Just because the name implies Germany, that's not the case. For instance, Meyer Corp, located in Thailand, China, & California pretty much makes all of our cookware under names like Silverstone, Rachal Ray, Paula Dean, Cuisinart (yes, you read that right), Farberware, KitchenAid (yet K-Aid claims "made in USA"), Circulon, Anolon, Macy's private label, Sur la Table and maybe more since I'm not sure how up to date their Wikipedia is. Emerilware has teamed up with All-Clad, and yes they claim that All-Clad is made in the "USA", yet they have a plant in China and that's the location that makes Emeril's cookware. We all know why things are made in China. Even our computer parts are made from all over the world then packaged into one laptop and then they claim it was made in "insert here". So my point of my long informative rant is that just because it says made in China, does not mean it's bad quality. These companies got rich by outsourcing their workmanship.

The Spirit 10 Piece set is remarkable. It is a little pricey, but so are a lot of the "cheap" ones. I suggest buying a single pan and use it for a while before you shell out $400 for the complete set. I also own Infinite Circulon and love them both for different reasons. Good luck making a decision, read the reviews, keep in mind the context in which they were written. One last thing, Emeril partnered with Wusthof to make "his" knives but not sure where they are made.

I have used this springform pan for a couple of years now and would have to say that I am very happy with it. I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because about a year after heavy use (I bake a lot of cheesecakes) one of the rivets on the handle broke. Fortunately I have a friend who had a riveter and was able to fix it. Beyond that I am completely satisfied with the performance. I have never had any leaking with it and I have made cheesecakes, torts, and flourless cakes in it. I do use a baine marie as another person had mentioned. I have always wrapped my springform pan in foil, I don't think you will ever find a springform pan that wouldn't leak to some degree in that circumstance....that is the purpose of using a springform pan....to be able to break it apart. The sides are non-stick and the glass bottom is extremely durable even though it is glass.

I really like this pan. The seal is secure (no leaking). With the handles, it's easy to manage, even for someone with arthritis (like me). It's also very nice to have a glass botton showing through on a serving plate instead of a metal one. This is definitely a winner.

Best Deals for Frieling Handle-It Glass Bottom Springform, 9-Inch

This pan is top rated by America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Illustrated for a springform pan. It has worked very well for me. When I first poured water in it to measure the volume, it did leak a little, but not when I actually made cheesecake. And springform pans, according to the manufacturer, are not supposed to be completely leak proof, just reasonably so. Some folks said that my cheesecake was the best cheesecake they'd ever had, so I have to give some credit to the pan (the rest goes to the America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook for a great recipe!). The handles are what makes this pan stand out, as it is super easy to lift. I had no problems with it, would purchase it again, and highly recommend it.

What I like: The glass bottom, non-stick coating, and the handles. My cheesecakes turn out wonderful, and the glass bottom means no metallic taste. The handles make the hot pan easy to remove from the oven.

What I dislike: Butter leaks out of pan when cooking. I have attempted to open/close it several times, with no improvement. Doesn't leak all around, just in 2-3 spots. I make a crust for my cheesecake from graham crackers and butter. First use, the butter leaked all over my oven, setting off the smoke detector. I contacted the vendor who said they rarely have leaking problems with the Frieling springform pan, and they promptly sent me a new pan. This time, I put a pan underneath, just in case. Good thing, because the new pan leaked the butter just as badly. Perhaps if I had no crust with butter, just the plain cheesecake batter, it wouldn't leak. So I've resigned myself to putting foil or a pan underneath, and removing the leaked butter before the smoke alarm goes off. Beware!

They have a snap on lid and it makes them easy to carry and not spill your food when traveling. They are also great for picnics where you don't have to haul glass, ceramic or porcelain cookware. She uses them to take food to a pitch in dinner at Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Eve .

These are really hard to find and it may be because so many people didn't follow the instructions on how to use it. If it is misused it can be a hazard. You can use this in the oven or microwave but you have to preheat the oven and set the cookware on a cookie sheet for baking or carrying. You also do not want to exceed 400° F or use the top broiler element or touch the sidewalls of the oven.

Despite all of the warnings my wife really likes this product and it is so much easier to not have to worry about bringing home your favorite dish from the party. It is fast and easy to use and you just toss it away when you are done with it. She likes it and recommends it to you.

I included some photos that also covers the usage instructions.
