I was tired of my frostings, custards and sauces that required an electric mixer use during cooking sloshing over the sides of the smaller double boiler I have.

I bought this one on sale at Amazon and it works wonderfully for my confections.

It is large with high sides. There is a ridge where it sits in the boiler pan that you have to pay special attention to when washing.

Shipping was speedy and I was able to use this for my cooking during Christmas.

I highly recommend this pan.

The bottom can be used for every day cooking and the lid is a nice bonus.

Honest reviews on T-fal A9099694 Specialty Stainless Steel 3-Quart Double Boiler

Love this product perfect for my needs. Keeps the chocolate wafers soft for hours while I'm dipping candy. If you use a microwave to melt your wafers, you only have about half an hour to work before the chocolate hardens. Easy to clean and nice even temperature. Very happy with my purchase. Would recommend it to my friends.

I purchased this for my mother who is starting to get into candle making and needed a double boiler to melt wax with. I bought this particular one because all my mom needs is a simple, inexpensive pot.

I was impressed with how sturdy and solid the pots feel. The melting pot sits snugly and securely onto the bottom pot due to a flange (ring) around the bottom of it. The bottom pot is non stick and can be used as a regular pot complete with glass lid. The handles are comfortable and feel sturdy in the hand.

Overall I think I got a pretty good value with this and my mom is happy as well :)

Fox Run 36-Piece Mini Tartlettes Set Reviews

I bought these tartlets because I needed them for afternoon tea bit size treats. There are the perfect size for me, great shapes. The quality is OK, since there is a lot of fat in tart shells, I don't need non-stick ones anyways. The only thing is, the tartlets are very very sharp, I cut myself while cleaning it and it won't stop bleeding. Prepare to get a sand paper and sand the edges of the tartlets before you start to use them.

the metal is actually sturdy and quite solid for its metal type and for the price.

they are mini's so that's around an inch or less in bottom diameter and about half-an-inch in height.

dont expect a 2-inch bottom diameter or more than an inch in height -product specifically identifies the set as "mini"

Review of Rack It Up Oval Pot Rack

Customer Ratings:

This pot rack is very nice quality and easy to install. However the picture on Amazon's page shows it without the interior grid and suggests that people who bought the rack also purchased the grid and ceiling trim covers. The rack DOES come with the grid but we did need the trim covers. The trim covers are very important since it makes for a much nicer finish. Amazon was very quick to take care of our "extra" ordered grid. A+ to Amazon Customer Service. Thanks Ria for being so efficient and curteous!

I researched for a long time for a rack that would fit my space but still have enough storage space. I was very happy with this purchase. the one I got is actually alittle different design but essentailly the same product. love my rack and love how much space is freed up in my small kitchen with not alot of space for storage. It was a little bit of a pain to put together but it was worth it. There a few steps that you almost have to have a 2nd person to hold as you piece togehter. I paid about $20 more at Kohls but thats okay it was the cheapest I could find it at the time. I have owned this for about 4 months and I am very happy with it.

The only true negative with this rack is the anchor styem. I had to call the company twice and they do not answer questions about the Toggler anchorsyou have to call a seperate company. I also had to call a plaster specialist about advice weither or not the Toggler could be used in my ceiling. The Toggler is meant for HOLLOW wall space. After talking a plaster guy and told him about my wall space and year built it was determined that I do have hollow space and could use the anchor system. make sure you aviod beams cause it will not work. After drilling 1/2 inch in my ceiling I put the anchor in and I must not have broke it off correctly because it was stuck and not in the correct position. I again called the company and asked for advice. They sent me TWO new togglers and there apologies. When they arrived, within only a few days, I was told to just use something to push the old one up and into the ceiling and put the new one. So I did and once again it broke incorrectly!! Frustrated and down to my last Toggler I gave it more shot and SUCCESS!! It was a bit of a pain to get up but I love it. Make sure you just KNOW where are gonna hang and have read ALL the directions, especially realted to togglers, before hanging. If you do this you will be much happier. But if you make mistakes, like I did, know the company(s) are very helpful and will do anything they can to help you figure it out!! I thought the togglers seemed flimsy at first but after now fully understanding the designed, they actaully are pretty ingenious and I have no doubt that they will hold the weight they claim. The rack does shift weight when take off and put on new pots/pans, made me nervous first time it happens but its just redisributing weight and once again NO PROBLEMS. I know its a long review but I wish I had known the info and i help someone! All and all a great purchase on a budget, looks great and works great!!

I love the quick anchor system this rack uses. I have over 10 pots and pans hanging at all times and two of those pans are the heavy cast iron pans. The center is great for hanging long spoons and serving forks. Comes with plenty of hooks to hang items but I bought the extra hooks and I use them all. I get no end of compliments of this rack and for the cost it can't be beat.

I have an 8-foot ceiling, so I ordered the additional low ceiling arms (I've included a photo). The pot rack is well-made and solid, and the instructions are pretty straightforward. There's a Snaptoggle drywall anchor installation video at toggler.com that's helpful in getting the provided drywall toggles installed right. Be sure to raise the movable plastic bolt on the toggler all the way up as far as it will go after you've drilled your 1/2 inch hole, and drawn the anchor on the toggler to the perpendicular position on the inside of the hole. Otherwise, it will just spin when you try to secure the rack to the ceiling with provided hardware bolts or hooks, and you'll have to buy another toggler set at Lowe's and repeat the procedure. That said, if you have 5/8" drywall in your ceiling, each anchor point supports 356 lbs., which is pretty impressive. I'm giving this item a 4-Star rating rather than 5 for 2 reasons: 1) I really don't like the regular-angled cookware hooks: I think all the provided hooks should be bent-angled so as to accommodate more pots/pans on the rack. As it is, you get 6 of each type (regular vs. bent-angled). 2) You get 2 separate grille sections, each 6" wide, with 3 movable bars to "secure" them to the rack...and that's it. The grille sections "slide," as there's no provided hardware to otherwise fasten them together, to the rack or the support bars, necessitating your doing the task yourself with wires, plastic clips etc. Not sure why the manufacturer doesn't provide a single 12 by 22" grille and some type of fastener, but I'm otherwise and altogether pleased with the product!

Received this as a gift. Was very disappointed with the very poor workmanship. You can tell the materials are the cheapest available; not a nice, thick apron as I was expecting. The strand going around the neck and through the sides is very cheap, too. I could probably at least forgive some of its quality if it wasn't for the fact that you can't hang the apron up. When you attempt to hang it up, hung from the neck, the white strand falls straight through the sides. Unfortunately I can't return this item, otherwise I'd do so in a heartbeat.

There is only one slight thing that I would do to improve it. The sash that is used to go around your neck and the one that goes around your waist are the same one. So if you are looking at the apron, the sash goes from under your arm, through the top of the arm and then down the same path on the other side thus the loop at the top becomes the part that goes over your head which is OK but you can't hang it up by the neck piece without it coming through and out of the apron. I know this sound confusing but it is the only way I can describe it. It makes sense to me.

Buy IMUSA MEXI-1000-TORTW Tortilla Warmer Microwave Safe Base BPA-Free

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $9.99

Anyone that's ever been to a Mexican-themed restaurant knows exactly what this item is. This particular one is fairly large and will hold my home-made 8" tortillas nicely. With a damp washcloth (folded twice) and a layer of wax paper on the bottom it will easily hold a dozen home-made 8" tortillas. To reheat tortillas just place the container with the washcloth, wax paper and tortillas into a microwave for 30 seconds to two minutes. (Amount of time depends on: number of tortillas, how cold the whole container is to begin with, and dampness of the washcloth.) Also keeps my tortillas in the refrigerator nicely for a surprisingly-long amount of time.

This thing is good at keeping tortillas warm, but it's not deep enough for a batch of homemade tortillas. It will hold two 10 packs of store-bought tortillas that are thin, but the homemade tortillas, which I can never get as thin as store-bought, keep the lid ajar. The container is deep enough, but the bottom of the lid has a "dip" in it that presses against the tortillas and keeps the lid from closing tightly. What a shame. I guess I'll be purchasing the larger warmer.

With tortillas getting expensive AND being filled with hydrogenated vegetable oils, I finally found a SOFT tortilla recipe that I can easily roll out with a rolling pin. It's 3 cups of self-rising flour, 1 cup of warm milk and 5 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix it into a ball by hand or in a food processor. I don't even have to let them sit for 20 minutes. Just divide into 12 balls, lay a damp paper towel over them as you roll each out (roll from the center out) and then cook for about 30 seconds per side in a skillet. Other tortilla recipes were difficult to roll out and tasted hard like crackers.

Honest reviews on IMUSA MEXI-1000-TORTW Tortilla Warmer Microwave Safe Base BPA-Free

There are already several reviews which point out the advantages of this product. It keeps your freshly made tortillas warm at the table and lets you reheat the leftovers in the microwave if you have them later. Just include a wet cloth or paper towel to make some steam so that they don't dry out when they're reheated.

Several reviews have complained about the packaging and the difficulty of getting the glue from the label off the outside of the tortilla warmer once the label is removed.

I just bought one of these here at Amazon, and the good news is that in addition to being useful in the ways already noted, the label was not glued on. The tortilla warmer I received came packaged in a cardboard sleeve which simply slid off. Great!

Tried soaking it in hot water, dish detergent, used the back end of a butter knife but NOTHING gets that label off without leaving an adhesice mess behind.

Best Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 2-1/4-Quart Saucier Pan, Cassis Deals

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $225.00
Sale Price: $184.95
Today's Bonus: 18% Off

I purchased this as an all-purpose sauce pan. The size helps alleviate the stress of the heavier weight of Le Creuset, making it easier to transfer contents and clean. I've made everything from perfect oatmeal to candied yams to baked beans to berry cobbler to sour cream chicken in thyme. All came out quickly and to perfection due to the conduction of cast iron. This is the best cobbler pan out there. Here's my recipe and you can try it yourself:

Melt 1 stick of butter (1/2 c) in saucier over low heat.

In a separate bowl mix 1 c. self-rising flour, 3/4 c. sugar, 3/4 c. milk, 1/2 t. cinnamon, then add melted butter from the saucier. Mix only until blended. (Hint: if you mix flour and sugar before adding other ingredients, the sugar breaks up any lumps in the flour and makes a flawless batter.)

To the warm pan over low heat add 1c blueberries + 1 c blackberries (or 2 c. of cherries or other berries) Top with 1/2 sugar and cook until bubbly. (precooking the fruit allows you to use frozen or fresh berries and makes a gorgeous crust because the dough begins to rise immediately upon contact.)

Meanwhile preheat oven to 350 degrees F. When the oven is at temperature and the berries are bubbling, add the batter to the boiling fruit, lightly stir. Immediately put into hot oven and cook until golden brown 30-40 minutes. Remove promptly and serve warm with ice cream or all by itself.

This recipe works with peaches, cherries, apples, blueberries, blackberries, and similar mixtures of fruit.

The Le Creuset makes a fabulous brown crust that is light and moist in the middle and crispy on the edges. It shortens cooking time for me by fifteen minutes. Also due to heat retention, cobbler can be made before dinner and kept warm in the saucier for up to half an hour. It's a crowd pleaser. However one of the best things about it is what happens after dinner. Clean up is a cinch. No scrubbing and no blackberry stains. Great find.

After buying a set of these for my daughter, decided to purchase a set for myself. Now I'm wishing I had tried hers first. I hand wash all of my cookware, but after washing the lids of these pans, the water remains in the edges of the outer rim of the lids. Even after setting them on edge to drip dry, and hand drying them, the water is impossible to get out. A fair amount remains in the lid, and the only way to get the water out is to insert the edge of a paper towel repeatedly around the rim. And who wants to do that every time they wash the pans? The outside seems to stain easily, and the handles on the lids get hot, as there is no rubberized cushion on the handle that the higher end cookware offers. Wishing I had done a little more research...

The interior of this cookware is very satisfactory. The lids slide off too easily. The handles, where they attach to the pan, collect food and grime that cannot be removed. The exterior of the pans scratches easily, even with careful, gentle hand washing, just by allowing the pans to touch each other in the same cupboard. The exterior stains very quickly and becomes unsightly after a few uses. Even a special $15 hard anodized cookware cleaner we bought from Bed Bath and Beyond does not remove the stains. So, your cookware looks very old and worn out in just a few months.

Beware, this pot is made in Indonesia, not Belgium like other Demeyere products. The pot arrived severely defective, there was a HOLE in the bottom edge, daylight shows through! The metal is thin and was machined too closely. Very light weight, not substantial like a true Demeyere pot. The quality and styling is not the same as that found in the authentic Demeyere pot I ordered at the same time from Amazon. The advertising copy on Amazon does not say where the product is manufuctured which is misleading to the consumer. The packaging identifies the pot as a Resto by Demeyere. This is not a Demeyere pot.

I've got this pot on GoldBox deal and recently started cooking with it. I really like it. It's very narrow so it would fit on a smallest burner of my glass cooktop. It has a perfect flat bottom a must for glass cooktop. The insert made from mesh not wires, so nothing falls thru the walls. I cooked asparagus and it was just perfect. You can put pasta, vegies etc into the basket and it is very easy removable. The little hook let's you get the basket higher away from watter on the bottom and dry it. I believe you can do deep frying in this pot I've just never tried it yet. Anyway if you on a market for this kind of cookware you should consider this pot.

Honest reviews on Demeyere Resto 4.7-Quart Asparagus/Pasta Cooker, Silver

On balance this is a good product. It is well made and does the job. I wish it were two inches deeper though. The normal length of the long pastas such as linguini are just about 1 1/2 inches longer than the depth of the pot so you have to keep stirring it until the pasta softens and sinks completely. If you don't, you end up with a short end of the pasta not cooked sufficiently when the rest of it is.

Having said that I still think it is a very good piece of cookware and I use it frequently for various boiling tasks.

I'm sure it does a great job on asparagus, but I use it solely for pasta. It requires less water since the basket goes to the bottom of the pot and can hold a TON of pasta. It does a great job, and I find it to be the best I have used.

Discount Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Coffeemaker

Customer Ratings:

This terrific bottom-of-the line coffee maker works like a champ. Its cone-shaped filter provides a rich full brew even without a "slow drip" option. Unless a flat-filter is exquisitely well sprayed and the water disperser stays clean and unclogged over time, the cone filters beat the flat-bottomed for taste and this is the only cheap coffee maker that has the cone that I could find.

Unlike many carafes, including expensive ones, the Hamilton-Beach carafe has a well shaped top so that coffee pours smoothly and quickly yet without spilling over the sides. People have complained that it lacks an automatic shut-off switch but one can either remember to shut it off manually or in a worse case scenario, scrub the carafe clean and remember to shut it off the next time. This works as well as my high-end Krups, and unlike the Krups may be poured quickly without spilling.

My wife and I have had this coffee maker for a little over three weeks and we use it every morning. We have not had any problems with it at all so far. It keeps the coffee very hot, and is actually pretty quiet while it's brewing the coffee. We love this coffee maker.

It is getting very difficult to find a basic coffee maker these days. Basic meaning.... not all the now common bells and whistles on it like clocks, timers, iPod connection, radios, auto grinders, programmable this programmable that, etc... I just want a coffee maker to be just a "coffee maker". Simple. This Hamilton Beach coffee maker is just that. By the way..... "cone" style filters are much better than the "basket" type because with the "cone" style, the coffee is more condensed, concentrated and therefore more flavorful using less coffee than with a "basket" type.

In this day and age with commonplace becoming the expensive instant gratification brewing systems such as the Keurig, forget it. A complete waste of money. Just because it's new does not mean it's a good idea. Get one of these traditional type Hamilton Beach "cone" style coffee makers before the "basic" concept disappears forever. Much less $$ to use and the coffee taste's better anyway!

Best Deals for Hamilton Beach 12-Cup Coffeemaker

All I look for in a coffeemaker is an on/off switch and a flavorful cup of hot coffee. It used to be easy finding inexpensive ones meeting that critera, but not so much anymore. The big box stores stock cheap Mr. Coffee models, and we've bought a few over the years. They work well, but Mr. Coffee carafes spill, and never show any sign of improvement. I decided to look elsewhere before buying another.

Unfortunately WalMart sells a $9 Rival 12 cup coffeemaker. It's a cheapskate's nightmare. One use in our kitchen was enough to search anew for a replacement--it has a poorly made filter basket, makes tepid coffee and spills. Out it went.

After reading the good reviews for the Hamilton Beach 12-cup coffeemaker, I decided to order one online as I can't find it locally. This cheapskate's happy again. It makes a great tasting cup of hot coffee and pours without spilling, all for under $20. My faith in an inexpensive coffeemaker is restored.

12-26-12 UPDATE: I notice a few poor reviews. It's been nine months since I purchased this coffee pot. It still makes hot, good coffee, doesn't spill or leak. Even if it broke tomorrow, I think I got my $20 worth, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Great, inexpensive coffee maker. Manual, no auto off, just a big on/off button. But it does pause midway while you pour yourself a coffee. Uses #4 cone filters. Cone filters are preferred over basket ones as it concentrates the coffee more. Makes good coffee. What more is there to say?

These are great for cooking. Follow the instructions, do not overheat the pan and you will be rewarded with any even heating, easy to clean pan that lasts. I use if to fry steaks, braise pork chops and make beef stew. The 1.5 quart size is just right to cook for one or two people. Be warned, this is a heavy pan, so check the weight to decide if it is for you. Also the handles can be hot, so I use silicone potholders with it. This is the third Le Creuset I have bought, others in different sizes.

This is my first Le Creuset pan. I also bought the matching 3-1/2 quart Braiser. I cook in this 1-1/2 quart Le Creuset pan for my guten-free and dairy-free food, and cook a similar non-restrictive dish in the larger Le Creuset pan for family.

When the edges of baked food gets dark and hard, and coats the lid and edges of this pan, a little soaking and a a bit of rubbing with a soft scrubbing pad gets it clean.

Honest reviews on Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron 1-1/2-Quart Round Braiser

I cook often for a family of 4 adults, and this is big enough to make orozotto, Spanish rice and holds more than enough. I usually use cast iron or Le Creuset enameled cast-iron. I like that when I cook in this type of cookware, all you have to do is wait for it too cool down and stick it in the frig. Leftovers anyone? Don't want to reheat in the micro, no problem just place on the stove top! Delicious!

We loved it so much we went out and bought a Le Creuset Signature Cast-Iron Dutch Oven.

Pretty as it is functional. Won't go back to ordinary pots and pans.
