I gave this product five stars because it's an excellent deal for the price. I highly recommend them and I'd buy them again in a minute. But there are a couple of things to know. First, nowhere did anyone give the sizes, so here they are: 1 qt. covered saucepan, 2 qt. covered saucepan, 5 qt. covered dutch oven, 9½" frypan (dutch oven lid fits frypan). Next, these pans are THIN. One of them arrived with a small dent even though the packaging was intact (which means it was dented while being packed at the factory). I don't give a rat's rear about that, but I know it's a big deal to some. Even if yours arrive pristine, you'll dent them soon enough just in normal use. However, this set (bumps and all) will last a long time. 18/10 steel is the best for cookware. My advice is to throw away all of your non-stick cookware, as the parts of the surface that are no longer in the pans are now in your (and your family's) bloodstream. Eat healthy and live a long, happy life!

I absolutely do not use non-stick pans they are totally not safe for cooking food as teflon or whatever else they put on it comes out into your food bit by bit and gets into your body. I was on a budget and did some research on the type of pots used in good resturants. 18/10 stainless steel is the best type of pot you can get to cook with and though the make/brand, etc may be different, under $50 for a 7 piece pot set is amazing. The chef's equivalent to this set can run your in the thousands, and honestly, just like cameras, the quality of food is not dependent on the price you pay for your cookware. I can sear scallops and make coq au vin in these pots just a well as any other pot. It is all about how good a cook you are. I use these everytime I cook and put them in the dishwasher and they are still good after everyday use for the past 6 months, AND even if it decides to fall apart on me within a year or two, it has paid for itself in delicious cooking.

Update: 10/22/2011

I have been frying, sauteing, boiling, washing, scrubbing these almost everyday since I bought them, and they are still going strong.

Update: I love these pots so much that I bought a set for my sister for Christmas. I use them everyday and they are still in perfect condition.

This is a serviceable set of cookware for the budget conscious. I bought it because I prefer not to cook with non-stick cookware and didn't want to spend a fortune. So far so good--cleans up nicely with a wool pad and has a level bottom so works well on my glass cooktop. A friend has a set of stainless that is not level and is difficult to use on a glass cooktop.

Honest reviews on Excelsteel 7 Piece 18/10 Stainless Steel Cookware With Encapsulated

Decent cookware set that is value for money, beats buying individual similar quality cookware at the stores. I like that the handles are welded such that heat transfer is minimized so you don't really have to use a pot holder unless they have been sitting long on the stove.

I'm very glad to have this product. The stainless steel is really not-sticky, and the heat is very well distributed. I have even cooked eggs in the pan and they are absolutly not sticked, much more better than my last teflon pan! And without toxic residues :) Plus, the set looks very pretty. I recommend it!

I've been using this pan for cooking eggs every morning for several weeks now. It's working well, but to keep it that way, I plan to

cook only eggs in it and use the minimum amount of heat needed. Sometimes it does stick a little but comes loose with a little push. I do use "better butter" (part butter and part canola)and try to spread a thin coat also a bit up the sides sometimes by using a pastry brush. There seems to be no pan that maintains a perfect non-stick ability. This pan is heavy which does make it function better. I bought it because of the resaonable price, because the non-stick surface is supposed to be more eco-friendly, and because of the Farberware name.

bought it as I did not want to buy teflon.it was difficult to clean from the start -it didn't feel like non stick. I used it to make omelet, and heat some indian tortillas---the gray surface turned brown --with 2-3 uses and now 1 mth later the pan is completely black. It was a total waste of money. I never put it in the dishawsher. I don;t want cookware to last forever but this didn't last even a wk .. would never recommend to buy it .

Honest reviews on Earth Pan II Hard Anodized Nonstick Skillet

I wanted an Earthpan because I heard great reviews of them in Consumer Reports. I am a pretty serious home chef and was willing to pay an inordinate amount of money for a non-stick pan that cooked well and cleaned easily. So I was pleasantly suprised to see this was reasonably priced. This pan cooks well but the pan is not easy to clean at all. I have had to use steel wool to get this pan clean. That's sucks. I mean I had to get out all kinds of elbow grease to clean this pan and I was upset by that.

My Earth Pan Hard Anodized Nonstick 10 inch skillet was a big disappointment. Because I have had many non-stick fry pans over the years and I realize that their life span is short even though we follow all the directions, I thought that this product seemed more durable and more able to fit my needs. I followed all the many directions for use (including ones we weren't warned about because we have a Corning stove top) but it was purchased August 18 online from Amazon, and here it is May 18, 2011 and a cast iron skillet compares favorably to it (and would have been much cheaper).

In my never ending quest to improve my health, I discovered that the nickel in stainless steel was affecting me adversely. I began searching for "nickel-free" stainless steel, and in a round about way, my Google Searches led me to the Silit brand of "allergy-free cookware". Amazon.com had the best price that I could find, so I ordered the 9 inch and the 11 inch "Fry and Serve Pans".

They are on the heavy side (they weight the same as cast iron). This is a bit of a challenge with the 11 inch Fry and Serve as I am trying to get the contents out and into a storage container.

I was nervous that they would fail to live up to the "non-stick" claim lucky for me, that fear was unwarranted. They are wonderfully "non-stick" (it is like cooking on glass). Clean up is a breeze.

And Wow are they Beautiful! The colors in my kitchen are yellow, blue and green. I may have to buy a pot hanger, and find a reason to buy a blue and a yellow Silit cookware piece so that I can display them coordinating with my kitchen colors!

Today's Bonus: 25% Off

The Blender works very well, 95% of the time my smoothies come out with out small chunks of ice floating in them. This is a big step in the right direction compared to my old one. The food processor works but could be better, the grater is the only disappointment because cheese gets caught between the rim of the lid and chute, but the cutting blades work very well. This blender is not as loud as a similar kitchen aid set up. My blender jar hasn't broke in half like another user, This is probably because I paid attention in middle school science class and am aware that pouring boiling water into cool glass will crack glass, armed with this knowledge I will not perform that action. Also the product is not advertised as a tea kettle.

For the price this is a good product if you want better you have to spend more.

When I tried to use the blender as a jack-stand while changing a flat tire on my car the glass broke, what a piece of junk.

Update: It is February 2011 now and nothing has broken. I don't use the grater on soft cheeses (ex: Munster; Havarti) and this is it's only weakness that we have come across. Every other function has been satisfactory. I'll let you know if it breaks.

I bought this for myself for Christmas. Why this one? Honestly, I really needed a new one to replace the great $3 Braun I had gotten from a yard salethe bowl was cracked and no replacement parts are available anymore. So $39 for a 10-cup, sure! WOW! Where should I start...

1. the bottom has suction cups; not helpful at all.

2. doesn't Black & Decker deal in power tools? Yeah, it was that loud!

3. The wide-mouth feature includes a regular sized chute but it doesn't come apart

4. where the chute meets the lid is a tiny area perfect for food to get into but it's so small the only thing I could use to get the food out was a knife so when cleaning it, you cant get into that area and remember the smaller chute that doesn't come apart? Well, can't clean that either

5. There is one blade for shredding and slicing. (One side for shreddingflip it over for slicing.) So even though you may be using the shredder, you also have to clean out the slicer.

In summaryI couldn't get it back in the box fast enough. Luckily, I didn't throw away my Braun, just in case...I'd rather have to cover the crack in my quiet, old Braun any day than use this food processor. A man definitely designed this, no question!

My partner bought this to combine two appliances into one and because he wanted a larger processor that does more (until he bought it, we only had a little Oskar processor). Anyway, I wanted to grate cheese without grating my knuckles, so I pulled out the processor. I used half a "brick" of cheddar, and I thought everything went well. When I stopped after the few seconds it took to grate the cheese, I noticed there was a bit of cheese left over that hadn't been grated, and also saw that the blade was wobbling. What had happened was the disc stem had snapped! The disc stem acts as an adapter between the motor's spindle to allow you to attach the grating/slicing blade. I've ordered a replacement part (the shipping is more than the part!), but I'm very displeased. The motor is certainly powerful enough, but if breaks the next time around, B&D will get quite a sharp letter for an under-engineered product. Fortunately, the chopping blade works great. Only time will tell...not something I like thinking about regarding a kitchen appliance.

Honest reviews on Black & Decker Food Processor & Blender, Wide Mouth Combo

We purchased the black and decker Wide mouth Food Processor with Chopper at Canadian Tire. We looked at several and though

Well black and decker is a good name so why not?

At first I was pretty excited about this as it does chop and shred wonderfully but

then alas a few quirks ..

1. there are little nooks and crannies in the cover that you have to actually get a knife out to clean the food particles out.

2. I had the same problem with the disk stem, mine broke so I can use the slicer but the part that holds the shredder broke of so no shredding until I can find the part.

3. I find it hard to twist the cover off when I'm pureeing hot liquids it takes two hands to twist it off

I guess considering its only $60.00 I can't complain but not happy with the fact the stem broke off after only a few uses. And I like the first person will write a letter to Black and Decker

explaining a problem if when I get the replacement that breaks too.

I received this as a wedding gift, definitely glad I didn't pay for it. The blender portion worked fine for about 6 months until the engine started smelling like it was burning every time I used it. It's also about as loud as a lawn mower, though I didn't try to take it outside and see if it would cut the grass. The suction cups on the bottom are way more annoying than they are useful.

Unfortunately, I can't review the food processor because I could never actually get that portion to work. I'd snap on the bowl, and hear it *click* into the locked position, but noes goes when I tried to turn it on. I read the instructions, I investigated the bottom of the processor bowl, the top of my base...no idea why it was not working. I know what you're thinking: user error. But I am, in fact, a technically inclined, and rather intelligent person. Multiple people who are not my mother have said so. Using a food processor/blender combo should not be rocket science.

I continued to use it for a couple more months as just a blender despite the burning smell because, well, it's fun to see if things will catch on fire. However now I can no longer get the blender cup to lock into place. The connecting parts have worn down and no longer fit together. It is now a large useless appliance sitting in my garbage can. One star for being a functional blender for a limited amount of time, and one star for looking so pretty in my garbage. Sorry you wasted your money random friend/relative who came to my wedding!

Cheap Corelle Coordinates 2-1/5-Quart Whistling Teakettle, Pretty Pink

Very pretty, love corelle products, making tea today and the plastic on the spout melted then caught fire . Started to melt the handle. i purchased this because of the whistle, i saw flames them smelled plastic burning. Not happy, brand names are usually made with quality.

The good: nice size, pretty pattern, the spout cap and handle stay cool, appears to be of good quality (although I've only had it a week ... time will tell). Nice loud whistle, although I would call it more of a horn! It's a two-tone clarinet sound that will alert you to its readiness if you are anywhere within 100 feet! I even heard it over my vacuum ^.^

The bad: the pink has a sort of peachy tinge to it so if you're looking for a true pink (or dusty rose) ... you won't get it with this pattern. It's just a little off. Incredibly, this lists as a 2 1/2 quart tea kettle but there's this tiny "Fill Line" label just under the spout. It's hard to measure accurately since the kettle isn't transparent, but my guesstimate is that if you only fill to the "Fill Line," you're limited to slightly less than one quart. I put in 28 ounces before figuring I hit the "Fill Line" limit. For me, that's not a problem but if you're truly looking for 64+ ounce capacity ... look elsewhere. Some might consider the aforementioned "horn" a bad thing since it's so loud and not a "whistle" so I'll list it here as well. I prefer to hear it rather than not hear it but that's just me.

The worst for me is the dribble factor. I detest dribbling tea kettles and this one is pretty bad. I fill my mug over the sink.

UPDATE 7/4/13: Well, I bought it and despite the drawbacks mentioned above, kept it. Now, one+ year later, I can truly say it's not worth it. The enamel chips off the bottom and the whistle stopped working. 1 star for being pretty.

Discount Frieling 9-Inch Glass Bottom Nonstick Springform Pan

Customer Ratings:

I bought this springform pan based on the recommendation of several trusted sources, including Cook's Illustrated magazine. (They actually tested the model with handles--had that one been available I probably would have spent the extra money for it, but as it is I haven't found any significant inconvenience to the lack of handles with this model).

Although the quality and construction overall is excellent, the most obvious feature that distinguishes this from other springform pans is of course the glass bottom. I have been VERY impressed with this innovation! It overcomes a couple of the problems I've had with other (especially cheap) pans: the base's rolled metal edge that traps water & crumbs (which makes for quick rusting and difficult cleaning), and the tendency of the bottom to ding & bend, preventing a tight seal with the collar. This model seals very tightly--when I filled mine with water to check it, the majority of the leaking occurred not around the base but through the collar overlap (an inevitable weak point in the system). Batter of course is much thicker than water, and I haven't experienced any leaking problem when actually baking with it.

Baked products don't stick to it (either the base or the non-stick coated collar), and they don't need to be transferred from the base for cutting and serving, because you won't damage it by cutting on it--something all too easy to do with metal bottoms. The rimless glass bottom presents no impediment to a spatula when lifting out nice, neat slices. You can also look through the glass to check the browning of the crust as it bakes.

I do wish they offered other sizes, but if you're only going to have one size the 9" is the most practical. That's what almost all of my recipes call for, and if necessary you can bake a 8" recipe in a 9" pan (decreasing the baking time slightly)--but not necessarily the other way around.

I'm getting over my initial fear of breaking the glass. The truth is, when securely seated in the collar, the glass is quite well-protected. Probably the biggest recommendation for this is the fact that other manufacturers (including Kaiser) are now starting to copy the glass-bottom idea!

I own practically everything this company has ever made, even some pieces that haven't been made in years. I have cookware, utensils, canisters, you name it. I generally don't buy designer items, but I try to buy quality. This line has been one of the best investments in my home I've ever made.

Just a couple of months ago, after having a conversation asking if they'd examine some of my cookware (the bottoms on those pieces were not flat enough to use on my glass top range without spinning around), I mailed off 4 of my larger pieces.

Thanks to All Clad, I have brand new, non-spinning cookware items3 qt and 6 qt saute pans, an 8 qt stockpot, and a 12" frypan.

I found them to be very kind, and when it was all said and done, they replaced every piece from the over 17-year old set that I sent them without question or hesitation. They even included brand new lids for the 3 items I sent that use them without requesting the lids from my old cookware.

By that same token, I will continue to support All Clad, and just like they did for me, it will be without question or hesitation.

Yes, wow.

I have been cooking with cast iron for many years but, due to the nature of the material, one is limited in cookware offerings.

When I saw this 3 quart sauté pan on sale for $100, I went and bought one. I LOOOOOOVE it!!!

I cook with a gas stove and have always had to rotate my cast iron pieces while cooking in order to prevent hot spots. I immediately noticed that I didn't need to do that with the All Clad. I am amazed at how evenly the heat is dispersed. But that's not all the pan is sexy and a pleasure to pick up and flip. I can't do that with cast iron without getting tunnel carpal syndrome.

The final plus is being able to pick up the pan WITHOUT a glove. I can't tell you how many times I have burned myself unthinkingly grabbing a cast iron handle.

If you love to cook, get this pan. You will love cooking even more!

Now, if I can dump my cast iron off on to some unsuspecting soul on craigslist, I plan on picking up many more pieces of All Clad.

Cheers. Rudy.

Buy One Pair Stainless Steel Portable Travel Chopstick 8034

Customer Ratings:

I bought a pair from JapanBargain so that they could fit inside my bento box, which is 6 inches long, too small for regular sized chopsticks. They shipped promptly the next day.

The first thing I noticed when opening the package was a strong, aluminum/metallic smell--not a big deal for me. What bugs me though is my OCD-nature and the fact that the two pairs do not match up evenly. One chopstick is a bit chunkier than the other, and I know they are not a perfect pair because the ringed edges do not match up either, one starts farther up and has deeper ridges, whereas the other has faint ridges that start closer from the tip. I've posted pictures if anyone is interested in seeing this.

They screw in nicely with its' counterparts however, and are sturdy so I'll keep them for now. Will not buy again, however.

When I went in search of a kettle I didn't want a typical kettle with fugly spout mechanisms poorly intergrated into the handle. All the other ones on the market, aside from maybe the oxo, was just not attractive. I was looking for a sculptural, eye catching kettle that could sit on my stove as a sculptural art piece. There's never a time when I don't get a compliment on the kettle when I have guests. It's great cause we almoat always hang out in our open kitchen and the first thing people notice is the kettle. Functionally, there are minor kinks but definitely not worth returning. One of my favorite kitchen items I've bought this year. Great job Nambe. You guys rock!

I am very happy with the Multiclad Pro cookware in general. This is a heavy pan (to be expected due to its size) but if you need a large saute pan this is a great size nice and deep. The rolled edge makes pouring very neat (it just takes 2 hands for me until most of the extra weight is removed thank God for the helper handle, a wonderful feature). It heats quickly and cleans easily but, as mentioned in other reviews, it does discolor on the bottoms interior turns blueish, exterior turns brownish from the application of heat (this is not an issue for me as I was looking for cooking ability not asthetics.)

One big beef I have is that the bottom is NOT flat and it wobbles on my glass top range. I have no doubt that this effects the even-ness of the cooking. We are planning a move and I am switching to a gas range otherwise I would have returned it and tried another one. (not a different brand)

I am an advid, experienced cook making most foods from scratch and I would recommend this product just be aware of some of it's limitations.

I do highly recommend the Multiclad Pro line it is a great product at a great price especially when compared to other "professional" quality cookware.

I think this cookware is a really great alternative to All Clad Stainless. I have three pieces of the Cuisinart Multiclad and they are all comparable to the All Clad in terms of performance. Careful you have to take care of these pans. Don't put salt in them unless there is boiling liquid or the pans will pit and I wouldn't recommend putting them in the dishwasher. Another comparable line is the Calphalon Tri-Ply.

Overall 23" (handle to handle). Pan 12.5" x 3.25" 5.5 quarts.

The size and depth is perfect for stove top or oven casseroles/stir-fry to feed a large family or for plenty of leftovers. Plenty of pan room to fry up to four hot sandwiches/French bread, 6 to 8 or more burgers, pancakes, fry an entire chicken with room to spare, etc.

The long handle is nice and the helper handle is a big help to maneuver a large fully loaded pan. Measure your oven to make sure this long handled pan will fit in your oven if you need it to.

This needs a 13 inch splatter screen. Many styles of screens, some with four 'feet' formed in the rim, and a style with tri-feet extension of the handle under the screen.

A splatter guard is nice, too.(three sided 'wall') Norpro-2063-Nonstick-Splatter-Guard. I use one like this all the time. My stove top is built in with a sit down bar behind it. Keeps the grease spatters off the bar.

As an addition to our newly renovated kitchen we purchased a set of Cusinart Multiclad Pro Stainless. The addition of the 5 1/2 quart saute pan has already been put to the test with the sauteing of five pounds of onions. The large surface area and the heavy bottom produced an excellent result with even cooking and no burning. We could have spent much more but I doubt we would have achieved any better result. The rest of the set also performs well.

I must say that i am thoroughly pleased with this saute pan great heat transfer and it is easily cleaned. Even if you leave it till the next morning, a short soak in water will release all of the remains on the surface. Good fond development, deglazes easily, making sauces is a snap. looking to get the 3qt version someday for samller tasks. After spending thousands of dollars over the years on calphalon products, I am now a cuisinart man. Too bad everyone except all-clad manufactures in china. really a shame. if you dont have the scarole for all-clad, this is a very good buy.
