Nordic Ware Cast-Aluminum Nonstick Muffin Pan, Sweetheart Rose Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought the Nordicware Sweetheart Rose Muffin/Cake pan since I bake a lot of muffins and wanted a more "professional" appearance. Instead of boring, bland muffins, the Nordicware Sweetheart Rose pan makes 12 1/2 cup roses in intricate detail, including rosebuds and leaves. I use Baker's Joy to grease the pan before baking, and add a light dusting of confectioner's sugar to the finished muffins / cakes so as not to cover up the details. Cleaning is a snap: normally, there is no batter left in the pans, ever with all the nooks and crannies. The pan is also a good solid weight, something sorely missing in all those "made in China" knock-offs (Nordicware is still made in the USA). This is an easy, beautiful presentation for teacakes, muffins, and cupcakes that look like you bought them at a bakery.

I own the same brand in heart-shaped form, and I've been very pleased with the product. The muffins always turn out so well and unsticking them from the pan is effortless (which is more than I can say about several other brand tins out there). After baking with this pan I realize how nice it is not to be concerned with effectively removing the baked good and knowing that the product will look beautiful is also great.

The only downsides are the cost, heaviness, and the fact they're not very space-efficient-only two of these can fit in a conventional oven and one better use both hands to remove the pan. Though $30 is a lot of money for something that bakes so few goods, it is well worth it based on its reliability and durability. As a person who baked 3 times a week, I got my money's worth.

Honest reviews on Nordic Ware Cast-Aluminum Nonstick Muffin Pan, Sweetheart Rose

This pan turns out gorgeous muffins. Life is short, why not inject a little beauty whenever possible? I own a number of the Nordic Ware brand bundt pans, and this is one of my favorites. The pan may seem a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. I have replaced so many thin muffin pans over the years I have lost count. With a little care, like not using metal utensils or scouring pads on the pan, it should last a lifetime -and it creates a distinctive looking muffin. These are great for bake sales, holiday gifts and look wonderful on any party buffet table. I, as other reviewers, use Baker's Joy (a cooking spray that includes flour -plain cooking sprays do not accomplish the same result.) I liberally spray and then turn the pan upside down and let it drain on paper towels while I am preparing the batter. Since light colored muffins show up more of the detail one of my favorite recipes for the pan is blueberry muffins. Just be sure you use small pieces of blueberry (dried blueberries work well) but even plain muffins with mini chocolate chips (they don't sink to the bottom like full size chips), finely chopped nuts (again, so they don't sink to the bottom) or poppy seeds are wonderful additions.

I bought this pan to make mini rose-shaped pound cakes for a baby shower. It's a great buy! The cakes came out beautifully and this pan costs a fraction of what it sells for in the gourmet kitchen stores. Make sure you use "Baker's Joy" spray so that the cakes/muffins will not stick.

Libbey Classic 16-Piece Glassware Set, Smoke Review

Customer Ratings:

I own nothing but Libbey glass because it's really thick and extremely well made. I've NEVER,EVER EVER had one break and I have two children under the age of 5 using them as well. They don't break in the dishwasher or the sink and I've tapped them together several times, ranging anywhere from a light tap to literally dropping one on top of another in the sink. Not a ding, scratch, chip or crack in any of them.

These glasses are beautiful and they don't hold water spots at all. The black smokey color fade makes any drink look special, especially pink lemonade or orange juice.

Like the title says.. If you're having problems with a Libbey glass breaking, you must be seriously abusing it. Sometimes I can't believe the beating that these glasses can take.

My husband and I received a set of 12 of the tall ones, in this same color. The minute I opened them I fell in love. There is something so unique and elegant about the smokey black color and clean style. We have black leather furniture so they go nicely with our decor. I am hoping to find matching plates. Theses glasses are sturdy and heavy without being too heavy and are a good size and very functional. I would highly recommend them.

Best Deals for Libbey Classic 16-Piece Glassware Set, Smoke

The Good:

+ Attractive glasses

+ Made in USA

+ Available at Dollar Tree, so you can easily replace all the ones you break. And you WILL break them. Tap the glass against another glass? Crack! Tap the glass against the kitchen faucet? Crack! Wash the glass in warm water, then stack it on another glass? Crack! Scowl at the glass, knowing it's going to betray you and crack? Crack!

The Bad:

For having such a hefty base, these glasses are INCREDIBLY thin on top and on the sides, and seem to crack so easily. We bought this set for our first kitchen, and have already lost four. After we replaced two (thanks Dollar Tree), we decided we'd let the rest of this set meet its untimely end, then replace it with something sturdier.

These glasses are really unevenly weighted. It makes them feel ungainly, in my opinion.

Honest reviews on Libbey Classic 16-Piece Glassware Set, Smoke

I was very skeptical about buying these because of the others reviews, but these rock! When I took them out of the box I fell in love, as did my roommates. I have to say, I am very happy. Yes, is you drop one they will break (I dropped out about 5 feet on to tile and it broke) but they do not crack easily at all! We stack them, drop them on the tile and into the sink wash them in warm water, etc. and none have cracked (except for that one I dropped). If you want something invincible don't buy anything made of glass, but if you want something that makes every drink look elegant and classy, get these!

I purchased this pan never dreaming that anything about it could be dangerous. T-fal is supposedly a great company. However, one day as I was preparing some scrambled eggs, I leaned away from the pan and heard an extremely loud bang, much like a gun shot. The rivet in the pan had blown out and part of it went up into the fan above my stove! If I had been standing over it, as I had been a second before, I could have been seriously injured. I contacted T-Fal but they have completely ignored me, since I no longer have the receipt. I will NEVER buy T-Fal again!

I've had this pan about a month now and it's become my go-to. Very even heating but still light enough to handle one handed for transferring and flipping. Sticking is not a factor as long as you remember to not just chuck things straight from the fridge into it, let them come up to room temperature first, especially eggs. Cleanup is a cinch, I recommend some stainless steel scouring balls, which have yet to affect the surface finish of the pan.

I bought this as a Christmas/birthday present for myself and it's exactly what I wanted it to be. You MUST season these pans, though. Just a bit of vegetable oil after heating the pans to a low temp keeps food from sticking. Also, I'm only washing them by hand to both keep them looking nice and to avoid immersing them in all that soapy water. You really just need a TINY bit of soap to clean them after each use. On the downside, I do find myself using just a BIT more oil than usual, but if you're cooking with healthy oils it's barely noticeable, and certainly isn't enough to change the taste of the food. I'm a vegetarian, and so I don't have cause to use these for cooking meat, but I'm sure they would do just fine. If you take care of them, they'll take great care of your food.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Mario Batali Panini Grill and Press, Pesto Review

Customer Ratings:

I had been looking for a panini grill and press for a long time and was having a very hard time deciding between an expensive model or a cheap one. The reasoning being that the expensive models would probably last forever, as my Le Creuset dutch oven has. I thought that the cheap ones, if they failed, wouldn't be such a loss.

I read a lot of reviews and looked at different models at the store and ultimately decided on this model for a few reasons. First, it seemed solid and heavy. Second, it came in a nice color. Third, it was a good price compromise between the ultra expensive and the cheap.

Having now used it for a month and cooked with it more than 15 times I can say that it turned out not to be precisely what I was looking for. It has several issues that would have been hard for me to know from other reviews. First, and probably most annoying, the pan comes almost completely unseasoned. Seasoning cast Iron is a little bit time consuming and the process took the better part of two evenings before things cooked in the pan would release at all.

Second, the cast iron is very, very rough. I have several other cast iron pans and this is the first one I had that I couldn't effectively clean because of the rough surface. The pan tore several sponges to pieces (even the scrubbing side) and even the plastic scraper that I bought for it (also from Mario Batali and made specifically for this pan) was basically shredded after just 15 cleanings. The rough surface also makes it hard to oil it with a paper towel or a piece of cloth since it just shreds it. Your hand works fine, but I don't really like to cover my hand in oil after I just finished cleaning the pan in the sink.

Third, the pan has discolored quite a bit since I bought it. It started out a nice pale almost mint green but is now a yellow green color similar to a string bean. The top discolored first, followed by the bottom. I am not sure if this is because I have a gas range and not an electric model, but the change is distinctive. Others have spoken about cracks developing in the glaze, but there has been none of that so far. The discoloration is also in the glaze and soap and water make no difference (although you have to use soap very carefully to avoid unseasoning the cast iron).

Finally, the pan is really hard to clean. This is the result of several factors. First, although the cooking surface is a good size, when you add the handles, there is almost no way to get the pan in the sink and level. This makes cleaning it without sloshing greasy water out of the sink a bit difficult. Second, the roughness of the cast iron and the non-seasoned way it shows up make the first few cleanings really bad.

However, to spite all of these things, the pan is just and pan and serves it's purpose well. It may be a bit of a pain to deal with, but my wife and I are enjoying the paninis we've made and grilling stuff inside. I do wonder if I had spent $40 less would another pan have been the same or better and I definitely wonder if I had spent $60 more if the Le Creuset model would have any of these problems. I don't regret buying it, but if i had it to do again I would definitely at least get the darkest color available.

I really love this whole line. I made Cuban Sandwiches with mine and was really pleased with how they turnes out. I am also big on the aesthetic look of my cookware along with functionality, and this line offers both aspects at an incredibly reasonable price.

I've posted this review on several differently colored panini presses...though mine is red. I'm THAT passionate about the low quality of this product. It angers me every time I see it in my closet (won't fit in my cabinets). This press:

1.) Doesn't heat both sides equally

2.) Adheres to bread and fish like white on rice...even with oil/butter/nonstick spray

3.) has a cool colored finish that will chip and look hideous in no time.

Seriously, take my word, this is an utter disaster of a product. Either reevaluate whether you need a press, or try another line. If I could turn back time, I'd try Lodge (and they have new colors now to), All Clad, or one of the cheaper cheap pans. This is about the quality of one of those ones priced at $30 or $40. If you're going to lay out $90, go the extra mile and buy something made with quality in mind such as Le Creuset or All Clad or Lodge!

Honest reviews on Mario Batali Panini Grill and Press, Pesto

I bought this for a weekend away with friends and was very disappointed with the function of this beautiful product. First, it is dangerous. I found that the front loop touched the plastic knob on my cooktop and melted it a bit. I had to keep reminding myself that the knob on top was burning hot. It is natural to want to grab the handle or the top while making a panini. DON'T DO IT. I let the pan heat on medium for ten minutes and the sandwiches were beautiful on the bottom but only lightly browned on top so that I had to flip them. Needless to say, some of the interior parts of the layered sandwich fell out onto the grill and stuck like mad-very difficult to clean later. The final toasted panini still had to go into the microwave for a few seconds to melt the thinly sliced gruyere cheese so that I could serve it to my waiting friends. This was a stressful lunch as I had to go through this process three times to make sandwiches for six. I would prefer a press which does both sides of the sandwich at the same time. I thought this would and it didn't.

Somehow I didn't realize how big a 14" pan would be. It's actually about 14.5" from edge to edge. The handle is another 11.5", making it hard to fit into a cupboard (I've settled for leaving it on top of the microwave). It's very heavy so heavy it's awkward to lift with one hand. The heavy base makes for pretty even heat distribution, better than I expected for an aluminum pan.

The non-stick finish is fantastic so far. It's great to have a large non-stick pan for big stir-fries, or for cooking four pancakes at once.

Honest reviews on Paula Deen Signature Teakettles 2-Quart Curvy Kettle

My goal was/is to find a nice looking kettle that I could use one handed to open the pour spout, was durable, reasonably priced, and looked nice. I saw Paula Deen kettles on amazon and I was IN LOVE with them, even though they were a bit more than I wanted to spend. I read a few reviews about rusting and enamel problems but I decided to take a chance and believe the more positive reviews. Kohls was having a coupon sale so I bought it off of their web site just in case I needed to return it.

I got the kettle home, washed and then filled the kettle about half full, put it on my gas stovetop(which has a fairly high raised burner plate), and waited for it to boil. Soon after hearing the whistle, went to turn off gas heat and was shocked to see that my pretty new kettle had a melt-down. The enamel where the bottom meets the sides had actually melted in 2 spots and left a scorched indented area in its place. I did not have the gas turned up that high. How could a kettle melt so easily? Again, this was the FIRST time I ever used the kettle. Darn, I really wanted this to work out but I returned the kettle to Kohls and continue my search for the perfect low-priced kettle.

Pros:

blue color was gorgeous

the whistle worked well and was plenty loud (the one time I used it ;)

the handle didn't get too hot

nice size, wasn't too big

Cons:

ENAMEL MELTED AWAY

a little expensive

Bottom line: This is a great kettle if you want to just use it for decoration. Not so much for heating water.

By the way, I noticed that Kohls no longer offers the Paula Deen kettles on their website. I wonder if this is due to quality issues or Paula Deen's recent negative publicity?

I bought one of these close to ten years ago and it's still going strong, though I've taken it on three cross-country trips, countless weekend getaways and even to Guatemala.

Why? First, I don't like using hotel/motel coffee units -who knows how clean their innards are? This holds more liquid, is easy to clean, and I know where it's been!

Second, it's useful for more than just heating water. I once took my daughter to a nice Disneyland hotel for four days, and did all our cooking in this little pot because food was so pricey. I heated soup, ramen, veggies, all kinds of things... and we actually ate well (though simply) the whole time.

Other reviewers have noted that it doesn't have auto shut-off. That's a good point, and it's a bit of a pain, particularly when you're as forgetful as I am. But the water always boils loudly enough that I hear it. Could be a problem in everyday use if you are wandering from room to room; fine for a motel.

The flip side is being able to adjust the heat level, which I don't think you could do if the unit shut off automatically. I've found that VERY handy for things that need a gentle heat, and use that feature a lot.

Power cord is frustratingly short, but necessarily so for safety reasons.

Naturally, anything that holds 32 oz. of water is a little bulky, but when I put it in my suitcase I just jam socks and breakables into it, so it ends up taking less room than you'd think. You can snap the top off, which is also a help when packing it. It's fairly lightweight.

The reason I'm back at this page is that my daughter just went to college and took the pot with her. I need a replacement for my travels without her! I was amazed to find the same pot is still being sold after all these years. That's probably a good sign about its quality in an era when things get redesigned every year.

At this price, if it lasted a year or two of steady use, I think I'd still be happy.

At my workplace we have no hot water dispenser. Before this, I was resorting to microwaving a mug of hot water.

In the time it takes me to clean a spoon in the sink and get yogurt out of the fridge, the water is hot enough for tea. The exterior stays quite cool and can be picked up and touched immediately even when the water inside is scalding hot. I've even boiled milk, water, and black tea together in this unit without problems. Cleans quite easily.

Also, I left some water in it and the next day there was a large rust stain. It easily washed off, but I didnt particularly like the idea of drinking rusty water. The high setting really boils hard, and the low setting keeps the water warm. Generally, I got my 9 dollars worth

Having one through all the reviews, I'd discovered why I feel so many people have given this hot pot 5 star reviews. Most of then are years old, stemming from 2003, etc. The reviews that are more recent are from people saying that they've had their Rival pot for years.

It appears that many of the design problems are in more recent models (from the past few years) the rust, the plastic taste, the leaking....

It is entirely possible that this Rival pot used to be of amazing quality and incredibly durable, but you know what they say... Some things ain't what they used to be.

Chicago Metallic Commercial II Traditional Uncoated 14-Inch Pizza Reviews

Customer Ratings:

After eating some muffins which were covered in non-stick coating from the pan I baked them in, I vowed never to use non-stick cookware again. We had a hard time finding a non-non-stick/uncoated pizza pan, but finally discovered this one through Amazon. It works great we make our own pizzas from scratch at home and it works with thin and thick crust alike. We have had it for about a year and my husband is not exactly delicate with our pans, and it has held up well. One reviewer remarked on the thickness, and it isn't thick, but I don't think you would want a thick one, seeing as many pizza recipes call for the pizza to be set directly on the rack in order to crisp the dough nicely. I assumed that's the point of the holes in this pan... We don't use Pam or any non-stick spray, and we haven't had any problems with sticking. A great product!

The Chicago Metallic Pizza Crisper is a commercial-grade sheet metal pan that's perforated with 1/4" holes across its surface. The holes provide air circulation that helps cook a pizza crust evenly from center to edge. Without this ventilation if you use a standard cookie sheet, for example your pizza crust will cook crisp on the edge but remain underdone in the center.

A more common way to evenly bake a pizza crust is with a porous baking stone, such as 1 2 or 3. These will produce excellent results, but are more difficult to manage in the kitchen than a crisper pan. In particular, after building your pizza it can be tricky to transfer it to a preheated stone. Removing the pizza after it's cooked can also be difficult. The best answer for working with baking stones is to use a peel, such as 1 or 2, for inserting and removing pizzas from the oven. The downside for many kitchens is storage where do you put the inch-thick stone and unwieldy peel? And that's after you let the stone cool so it can be washed.

A pizza crisper pan may not create the exact same result as a baking stone, but it does evenly bake a pizza crust. Add to that the crisper's low cost, ease of use, and small storage needs, and you have a viable alternative to a baking stone for many home pizza makers. This model is uncoated and we've found it works well with pre-made crusts (such as Boboli) or fresh dough. We flour-dust fresh dough on a cookie sheet, transfer the pizza to the pan, then wipe the bottom of the pan to remove any flour that's fallen through the holes. A non-stick version of the crisper pan is also available, though households with pet birds must avoid overheating PTFE non-stick cookware, as it is a reported source of avian death.

After burning my food every other time with my Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Steel 12 Quart Stockpot (which is tri-ply in construction on bottom and sides), I decided to purchase this pot. WOW, it really cooks the food good and there is no food burned or stuck at the bottom like on my calphalon pot.

Heavy duty construction and excellently made (I was very pleased at the high quality of this pot when I received it), this pot will last you forever as you should be able to pass this pot down through the generations in your family. I am so glad this pot is Stainless Steel on the inside and outside as I would not have bought it otherwise. If you buy this pot I guarantee you will be very happy with it.

PS The picture here on amazon is a little misleading as on the pot I got, the stainless steel both on the inside and out are a very high polished chrome stainless steel, i.e. NOT a brushed SS or a dull looking SS.

Honest reviews on Pauli Cookware 10 Quart Never Burn Stock Pot

I purchased this pot from Amazon and I am more than happy with it. I was so tired of burning stews and spaghetti gravy with my old pot, even on low heat. Not any more, this pot is great and Amazon had the lowest price for the pot.

I bought this pot as a gift for my husband (who is a caterer), who makes gravy, sauces, soups, stews, etc. on a daily basis. But since we tried it out at home first to make slow cooked oatmeal, I was glad when he did not take it to work. We use it at home and there is no substitute for it.
