I was excited to receive my wok, but did not anticipate how large it is. It is too large for me to utilize for a family of two, and it better fitted for a large family or a restaurant.

1. My wok arrived wrapped in a flat piece of cardboard that left the handles exposed. The wok received a dent, 1" by 4" by 1/4" in the very bottom during shipping -not bad enough for a return. 2. The wok is covered in what I imagine is machine oil to keep it from rusting. At first I thought it was seasoning but the machine oil smell was way too strong for it to be anything else other than 50 weight. 3. The ad correctly describes it has hand hammered -be ready for a scratched and blemished interior and exterior surface. 4. It is handmade, I am guessing it was made in a consignment, pig-iron, backyard furnace -this is just me being snotty and is not based on any actual facts or information concerning this wok.

So, now that I am a proud owner of this thing, I am debating what to do with it. Since I do the cooking for a large family I am concerned about what exactly was used in the smelting, hammering, finishing of this wok? The trunk lid of a '57 Great Wall? I have scrubbed the bejeebers out of it and intend to boil water for a day or two. I would be interested to know what others have experienced with this wok.

I am giving it 3 stars because it is pretty much as described, and if you look closely enough you can see the scratches and blemishes in the Amazon picture. I think my point here is that the buyer needs to know what they are getting before they click "add to cart".

22 inch is great for big cooking quantities. Great quality wok. Remember its big size and don't forget to season the wok.

Honest reviews on Town Food Service 22 Inch Steel Cantonese Style Wok

This is a great wok. This is also a huge wok. I was looking for a larger wok to cook a full batch of fried rice without worrying about spillage, and this is perfect. Due to its size, you will need to have a dedicated wok burner/turkey fryer to even use this. I can't imagine any home range being able to accommodate and heat this thing effectively. The metal is quite thick (14 gauge, I believe). The handles are firmly welded to the wok, and the weld marks have been smoothed out on the inside. Overall, it is built like a tank and does not flex at all. It comes coated with thick protective oil which needs to be removed, and--like all carbon steel woks--it needs to be properly seasoned before initial use.

I was excited when I initially made the purchase, however, I was very disappointed when it arrived. The handle on the lid in the picture made it look like an apple stem, however the casserole that arrived had a simple common round lid handle, which made it look like a weird red pot. Needless to say, I returned it, and I am still waiting for a refund. Buyers beware.

When I got my new convection toaster oven, I bought this and the Granite Ware Mini Toaster Oven Cookie Sheet. This pan is great for heating up slices of pizza, making garlic bread, and basically cooking anything that benefits from a little air flow underneath.

I was hoping I could nest this on top of the cookie sheet, and also use it as a broiler pan. Unfortunately, it has sides that are a little deeper than the sides of the cookie sheet so, when you put this on top of the cookie sheet it rests on the bottom of the sheet with no gap, which makes it not useful for broiling.

The large GraniteWare Roaster/Broiler Sets are fantastic, and the small (but not toaster-oven sized) Pan Sets are almost fantastic (they would be fantastic if they didn't have the non-stick rack). I really, really wish Graniteware would make an even smaller roaster/broiler set for toaster ovens, like the Progressive International Pan but with an enamel finish. I can't be the only person who wants this.

Otherwise, this is a great pan.

Best Deals for Swiss Diamond Nonstick Wok with Lid - 11"

I wrote the Swiss Diamond company and asked for an explanation of what the nano-composite material was made of.

After a week or so, I received a polite reply from Allan Wolk, an employee in the U.S. His email informed me that, "Our patented nonstick surface uses a nano-composite of real diamond crystals and PTFE; it is applied using a computer controlled plasma gun at very high temperatures."

Naturally, my attention was immediately drawn to the PTFE. The acronym sounded familiar. What was PTFE?

A quick search of Wikipedia provided the answer: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTFE)

As Wikipedia explains:

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer discovered by Roy J. Plunkett (1910-1994) of DuPont in 1938. It was introduced as a commercial product in 1946 and is generally known to the public by DuPont's brand name Teflon®.

Huh? Teflon? Wait a minute. Didn't the Swiss Diamond website just claim that the product contained no Teflon?

If you look back at the Swiss Diamond website screen capture, the careful wording of their answer now becomes clear. It states, "The Swiss Diamond coating does not contain any Teflon taking into consideration that "Teflon" is a trade mark, made and owned by DUPONT."

So the pans don't contain Teflon, they just contain the chemical called Teflon. It's like saying a nuclear warhead doesn't contain any plutonium, it only contains nuclear fissionable material.

For the manufacturer to insist the Swiss Diamond pans contain no Teflon whatsoever when it is made primarily from polytetrafluoroethylene, the chemical widely known as Teflon, is extremely deceptive. In fact, the intent of the Swiss Diamond company seems to be to deceive consumers by omission of the facts. The FAQ document on the Swiss Diamond website, for example, does not bother to say something like, "But our pans do contain PTFE, the chemical known as Teflon." It simply insists they contain no Teflon and moves on to the next question.

It seems that Swiss Diamond goes out of its way to give the impression that this product is free of Teflon chemicals and is surfaced primarily with diamonds. That's the impression I got, anyway, and I read the promotional materials several times before purchasing the pan.

Consumers have been hoodwinked!!!!!!!

I have a small galley kitchen and didn't think I had enough room for a bread box. But the Brabantia Compact Bread Box came in a great small size that allows for two loaves of bread or several rolls, muffins, wraps, etc. You can also put some items on top. I am very happy with its size, functionality and looks. It's pricey but there's no other one available in a petite size. Believe me. I have checked!

The "stainless" steel it aint...

I saw the bigger, made in Belgium, version of the Brabantia bread box at local store, and it felt like a well-made product.

The stainless-steel material was strong and did not retain any fingerprints.

This Chinese-made, smaller version of the "the real thing", is another story. While it gets the job done in keeping the bread fresher than it would be if left on a kitchen counter, it better not be touched or your fingerprints will be proudly imprinted on its surface. It looks terrible, and I don't feel like cleaning it every day. I am returning this one and getting something else. Hopefully, you won't make the same mistake I made.

I find it puzzling that some other reviewers feel this box is too small... Based on those reviews, I worried until it was delivered only to learn that it is the perfect size for our household which includes a kindergartner who eats 3-4 slices of bread per day so I keep 2 loaves in this box at all times. Admittedly, I do need to place one of the loaves on its side to fit both. However, it is worth including that the loaf I place on its side is from the local bakery, and quite wide. I imagine that two commercially prepared loaves would fit in the box with ample room (considering I'm storing one of these along with the aforementioned wide bakery loaf and experience no trouble closing the box.) It is a beautiful bread box that provided an instant upgrade to the look of our counter. I am now able to place my Mac Book on top of the box while cooking (so that I may glance at a recipe online. Prior, I was placing it somewhere on the counter where it took up additional space.) Of course, a computer need not sit atop the box as in our house; my point is: this box has a little shelf that could be quite useful for many purposes... Little fingerprints (and large ones) wipe off easily with a damp cloth sprayed with a small amount of vinegar. Most probably, glass cleaner would work just as well... Overall, I can't state enough positive things about this 'compact' box that is seemingly compact, yet stores 2 loaves easily.

Honest reviews on Brabantia Roll Top Matte Steel Bread Bin

My objective in looking for a breadbox was primarily to keep our counter top tidy, without having to resort to keeping bread in the cupboards, which are already filled with other pantry items. This bread box meets my needs perfectly. Most bread boxes are a lot larger than this one, and I thought that they would be somewhat of an eyesore. This one is shallow enough to run fairly flush with our cookbooks, which we keep next to it -and it fits within the overhang of the cabinets. Also, the design (matte stainless steel, with just a small row of black for a handle) is low-key and blends in so you don't really see it. Definitely reduces clutter rather than adding to it!

You can't keep a full size baguette in it (unless you cut it in half), but it is roomy enough to fit at least one loaf of fresh bread from the farmers market, plus a few additional items. In addition, although it is a roll-top, there is a small flat surface at the top where I have put a few pastries that might get crushed if I put them in the breadbox with everything else. Although they are 'visible', I think that having them on top of the breadbox still makes for a more tidy appearance.

When the space for your large bread box suddenly becomes unavailable and you must adapt, then this small bread box is the answer. It is small but it will hold a box of Club Crackers and a small loaf of bread or two small loaves of different kinds of bread.

It seems well constructed, the roll back cover works smoothly and, other than its diminutive size, is a great product.

Rather than purchase the 12-piece French Classic cookware set, I choose to buy the 10-piece set and customize it with a few standalone additions. This was one of them, since I enjoy baking and knew I would like to have a double boiler for melting chocolate without having to risk scortching such goods from a burner that was too hot. I had the opportunity to use it a few days ago when I melted chocolate to make a Sachertorte.

The saucepan is a joy to hold and use. Great heft and comfortable handle just like the rest of the french classic items. The boiler has steps so that it will fit in either the 2-quart or 3-quart saucepans. The one design element I disagree with is the step for the accompanying 3-quart saucepan--the 2nd step is actually a outward flared edge that tapers back in to side of the insert, so it's open-top diameter is about the same as that of the first stepping. What this results in is, if you're melting and pouring chocolate from the insert, it gets caught in this channel, requiring extra spatula handiwork. Had it been just a straight step like the first one, you wouldn't be getting your ingredients caught up in this channel and wouldn't have to do extra work just to make sure you're not wasting that good chocolate you just took the time to melt and temper.

I'm rather baffled how this passed the design review, but I suspect it's an adapted multiclad design with the french classic handle attached and they must not really be selling many units to get many complaints. Too bad really because it would be a 5-star item otherwise.

My husband and I are slowly replacing our old cookware with investment pieces. We have wanted to try some All-Clad cookware for a long time and so far, it is exceeding our expectations. The pans heat so much more evenly than anything else we own and they really haven't proven to be a pain to clean (which we were sort of expecting). We heeded the advice of the instructions and the reviews from others and keep the heat lower than we normally would..... cook like a dream. I find the weight of the pans to be really nice. I sort of thought that the lids would be heavier. They are very light, but provide a really good seal. Like some of the other reviewers, I bought some Bar Keeper's Friend, but have only had to use it once. I really like this 5 piece set, too because we didn't get a bunch of extra stuff that we really didn't want... and the price was exceptional (black friday sale).

I waited a while and wanted to use these for a few weeks before really making an informed review. I was concerned after having not cooked on "quality" cookware how much of a difference I would notice or if it would even make that much of a difference in my cooking at all. It did. They wont obviously just make you a great cook just by using them, but once you do get used to them they make a huge difference over cheaper sets. Food cooks evenly, they heat up fast, they hold heat really well, and there are no hot spots that Ive been able to tell.

The only negative that I would consider is the handles for the lids does get pretty hot if you're braising, boiling, or doing anything where steam/heat gets to the lid. Simple solution for me was just to keep a towel close by (which I normally do anyways) and Ive gotten in the habit of using that to open the pots that I know have been on the stove for a while.

Recap, well worth the investment IMO.

People tell me to get All-Clad all the time because it will make life easier and you'll enjoy cooking more. It's totally TRUE. I didn't know the value of owning a great set of cookware until we got this set. We have an electric cook-top that we do not like, but aren't able to redo the kitchen with gas anytime soon. The high quality of this cookware negates the disadvantages of not having the gas stove we loved in our old place. This is the best set at the best price I have found, and I've been looking for a few years.

Honest reviews on All-Clad 401599 Stainless Steel 3-Ply Bonded Dishwasher Safe

The only problem with getting the larger sets of all-clad is that frequently you run into overlap between the sets; my husband and I ended up with a few duplicates once we combined households. This set, however, includes the three pans I use the most. The 10.5" saute pan works wonderfully for sauteing, but also for risottos as well as for steaming and frying dumplings; the fry pan can comfortably fry up bacon and then eggs for two people; the 3qt sauce pan is a good size for soups-I find the 2-qt too tall and narrow. Warning: the short handle on the saute pan will *not* stay cool to the touch like the long handle; never grab the short handle with your bare hand if the pot is still hot.

Since the bases of these pans are so heavy, they take a bit longer to warm up, but once they do, you can turn the flame down and let the pan's thermal mass do the hard work for you. My husband used to think that he needed non-stick to cook anything. When you've got good heavy stainless cookware, however, you'll find you won't miss non-stick pans. If your food is sticking (and you don't want it to be), you've likely got the heat up too high. If you do accidentally burn something on that leaves marks, a little bit of scrubbing with Bar Keepers Friend will make your pan look as good as new.

The plain fact is that good, solid cookware makes cooking predictable and enjoyable. There are far fewer accidents resulting in ruined meals. Before cooking with the all-clad, my husband thought that the limit of his kitchen abilities was whatever he could cook on the grill. Now he cooks dinner about twice a week; sometimes breakfast, too!

My set of All-Clad is over ten years old; I can't actually tell the difference between my pots and the ones that are only three years old-they all look great in the kitchen, hanging from the potrack. These are industrial-strength showpieces that come with a lifetime warranty. They're a worthy investment, especially if you enjoy food.

If you burn the pan you just use a cleaning product called "bar keepers friend" and it is like brand new again. I bought this exact set once for my sister and again for my brother both asa house warming present. It is a perfect starter set.

I bought this rack based on the limited amount of space I have in my apartment. Some of the reviews mentioned the instructions were hard to follow. I thought the instructions were clear, to the point, and in the proper order.

There's nothing magical about the "state of the art" fastening system for drywall. It's nothing more than a toggle bolt for drywall that can be purchased at any hardware store.

The rack looks good and hold my pans well. It says it can be painted, but I like the color as is.

The only problem I actually found is that the allen wrench supplied only fit the wall anchor screws. It did not fit the screws used to assemble the rack, so I had to dig through my tool box for one. Not a big deal but I thought worth mentioning.

I definitely think the product is worth the $35, especially if you have limited space like I do.

>

I wanted to edit this (28-Feb-2011) after using it a while:

1. The price has almost doubled from what I paid for mine. I paid $35 and today it is $60. I'm not sure why it's so high now, but maybe I bought mine on sale?

2. I wish I kept the instruction sheet to re-read. I keep reading these reviews that it is hard to assemble and the instructions are hard to follow. I did not think it was hard to assemble nor the instructions hard to follow. It has a total of six screws to assemble the rack. 2 of these screws are used for the support strap. Then there are 3 screws to anchor it to the wall.

My advice for assembly: Start all the frame screws into their holes and make sure they all screw in and out easily (BEFORE YOU TRY PUTTING IT TOGETHER). Assemble this on a flat surface to make sure you get the thing relatively flat. Mount the back strap (part that screws to the wall) to the 3 sided frame. DON'T tighten the four screws until they are all started and a little snug. This will allow for minor adjustment to make sure the frame stays flat. When you install the support strap, make sure it is perpendicular to the frame, then tighten it.

The biggest part of mounting this to the wall is to make sure you pre-drill the holes for the anchors (the right size bit is important). Also, don't use a drill to screw the thing to the wall, do it by hand. It's easy to break the anchors if you don't. Use a level to make sure it's level and a pencil to mark the hole locations for drilling. Install the shelf to the wall first. Then install the support strap to the wall. One thing I did was flex the support strap a little before I marked the hole location. When I had the shelf secure to the wall, I flexed the strap toward the shelf slightly (not enough to make the shelf become unlevel). Then mark the hole location for drilling. You can remove the strap to get it out of your way while you drill and install the anchor.

Tools required: Drill (with correct sized bits), allen keys, pencil for marking the wall, and a level. Maybe a hammer to persuade the anchors into the wall a little, but I don't remember needing one. The key is using the right sized drill bits for the anchors.

I think my total time for installation (including unboxing, assembly, and wall mounting) was about an hour.

I did have one small problem about a month after I installed it. I put the hooks in a position that allowed the shelf to tip when I removed a pan from the back. The front pan basically pulled the shelf over. This was my mistake of where I positioned the hooks. Make sure the hooks are on the inside of the shelf supports. As an added precaution, I added a couple of black cable ties to make sure the shelf stays put.

So far I've had this about 5 months and I love it. Be sure to give enough clearance for your pans to hang, but as far as I am concerned, it was a good investment for me. I'm not doubting the other reviewers that had problems, but I still think it was easy to assemble and install. I've put together entertainment centers that I thought were more difficult. I don't have an assembly video, but I've attached a short video of the finished product. I hope some find it helpful.

Do NOT listen to any negative reviews on this item. I KNOW. If you aren't handy enough, just find somebody to help you put it up that knows what they are doing. And, if your gut tells you that you want something larger, then just don't buy this one. Having said that, I have a small kitchen and I can't believe how many frying pans of all sizes that we have hung on this thing (even doubling up stuff on the hooks), not to mention a huge soup pot. It's exactly what we needed to free up space in the kitchen cabinets and, once it's properly hung, it's solid as a rock. If you have always wanted something like this but don't have much space to put a larger one, just get it. Besides the amount of stuff that it holds, it just plain looks cool and adds a nice touch to our kitchen. I've had it for a few months and I still love it as much as when I first got it. The only thing I'd like to point out is that the top shelf is sort of useless, but that doesn't matter to me! :)

I have nothing but praise for this pan. I have been using it 4-5 times per week since I purchased it.

The pan heats quickly and evenly and gives that perfect grilled crust to everything I have tried. It did take some practice to get the temperature and timing down I heat the press on another burner at 9/10 and the pan at about a 4/10. That gives me the perfect browning to both sides while also allowing enough time for the sandwich to get hot throughout. All Clad gives some advice on timing and procedure, but I think my system works better. Be aware, the handle of the pan stays cool but the press handle can get hot.

The listing does not say, but the press is cast iron and quite heavy. Cleanup of the press and pan is easy. The non-stick of the pan works well and the cast iron cleans up easily (I always butter or oil what I am grilling, so ymmv).

I now get perfect sandwiches every time, and never have to worry about all the things that can go wrong with an electric panini press. I am sure this pan will give me many years of great service.

This pan will not disappoint; it's the real thing! The press weighs as least twice as much as the pan--which is hard to find these days. I originally purchased to grill sliced panini rolls, but now use this wonderful pan to grill almost everything from steaks to vegetables. The press is heavy and works; only draw back to this is when it's hot, it's sometimes difficult to hold on to in the air or locate the right spot to rest the press when you have to flip, garnish and/or move around what ever you're grilling.

I was so excited and couldn't wait to use it; however, bad news arrived before I ever got the chance while reading the Instructions I found that it is not recommended for flat top stoves. Since I have a flat glass cooktop, I decided to call All-Clad to find out why it is not recommended and they told me it is because of the way the pan and press are constructed, the heat will not distribute evenly and I would not get good results and they definitely recommended against using the pan. Just want to pass this along in case you are considering I'm returning mine . . . unused.

I am so excited to use this grill. So easy to use and clean and is very well made. Try a grilled sandwich or grilled vegetables, shrimp or fish. I really love it. Fast and makes everything really tasty.

i bought this pan for like 59 dollars on a promotional special price. i would not pay more for it. the pan is well constructed in true all clad fashion. i think i would rather have higher sides, b/c when a fat sandwich is in the pan and the press is on top, the press wobbles and i don't feel safe leaving it unattended. also, it says to preheat the press, which is nice and heavy, on another burner and after trying several temps and times of preheating, it never seemed to give the crust that desireable golden brown. its easier to flip the sandwich after pressing it.

i think i would like the mario batali one better, because the enamel is more pleasing to the eye than the black nonstick look of the all clad, and also b/c the sides are higher.

all in all, it does the job; but for all clad, i expected perfection, i suppose.

Simax Glassware 7296 Rectangular Roaster Pan, 3.5-Quart Review

Customer Ratings:

I recently had a massive clumsy moment and dropped a three piece cookware set, shattering into many large chunks as well as hundreds of slivers of glass. Concrete garage slabs are not very conducive to absorbing harsh impacts. I began searching for a replacement set and came across some articles that led me to further research. The bottom line the Simax is manufactured in Europe using borosilicate glass (a much stronger glass than soda-lime glass). The Simax cookware is a bit more expensive than what is otherwise available but much more durable, stronger and safer. You can research borosilicate versus soda-lime glass and make your own decision. I'm certainly comfortable with the one I made. (I'll be using this same review for the Simax 1.5 quart glassware)

My son bought a Smore Maker at a garage sale and we couldn't find the fuel anywhere...then we checked Amazon. I ordered a few of them to last us and we've been very happy to use our smore maker!

Firstly, the product packaging I received looked nothing like the photo what in came in looked something like mini paint cans. The product I am assuming is the same (gel fuel) but it was just packaged differently. But, as far as the product itself goes, I wanted it for using in the black mini hibachis I bought from amazon.com before, to make beef-on-a-stick, that I remembered having in a Chinese restaurant many years ago that they brought out with mini hibachis. Since the "cans" were too big to put into my mini hibachi fuel receptable, I just scooped out the gel and put it in there like that, and put a match to it. Then you can "re-heat" your beef on a stick or char it a bit more, right at your dinner table. Now, for the original purpose of this product, I believe you just leave the gel in it's original container and put it under those buffet warmers that have a receptacle to hold these containers in.

I thought I was getting a a tin foil pack with a top that peeled off, but instead I got a metal container with a twist off top. This was apart of a gift for a friend and I was very upset when the piece did not look like what was ordered. Thankfully it works in the fondue set. Due to the false advertising I will NOT be buying anything else from Big Kitchens.

worked well, not too hot for the chocolate or the cheeses, would order again when needed, these are hard to find in stores so this was worth the price

I have never had any other fuel for a smore machine so I don't have any thing to compare it too. But it did what it was supposed to do.
