Cheap Cast Iron 3-Quart Round Dutch Oven with Lid

Customer Ratings:

I was very nervous in ordering this pot. I had no idea who Paderno or World Cuisine was and was quite nervous that this might be some made in China junk. I am glad to say that I was wrong. The pot is made in France, by a cast iron foundry that has been around since 1924. The enamel is clean and the color well balanced through out, the interior on the yellow is a creamy vanilla white. The edges of the lid and the lip around the pot are not enameled, this may hamper the life of the pot, but after cooking a few meals in it I am very impressed and would happily give it more than 5 stars. A great looking pot and a good price.

I bought this unit from a Department Store, $180 so a bit more expensive than this one. Same type though mine was yellow.

The first time I used it I was making a pot roast. The pot was in the oven. I took it out to check on my roast and as I put the lid back on, the lid broke!!! I had to cover the pot with aluminum foil to finish cooking my roast.

My boyfriend glued the lid back together and although I wasn't happy with the fact it broke, I was happy it was fixed.

The second time I used it, I was making a stew and as it had been cooking on the stove for 10 minutes, it broke in pieces SPILLING BOILING BROTH ALL OVER MY STOVE. I was shocked. Thankfully my dog wasn't in the kitchen where she usually walks by otherwise she could have been burnt!

DO NOT BUY this dutch oven. It's not safe. See for yourself in my pictures.

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.

I found these in a general store once and then had to go on the hunt to find a few more. Of course AMAZON, they have everything! We use these pans over firepits and on the grill to cook our pizza dough for our grilled pizzas. Cleanup is a snap. I use a little cooking spray and everything just scours right off!

These work terrifically for me. I hang all of my pans on a rack over the sink with them. It probably creates (out of thin air!) the amount of space that would otherwise fill 2 deep drawers. Having them at an angle was useful for me to be able to fit so many pans on them I first tried the straight hooks, and couldn't hang as many pans in the space with them.

These pot rack hooks hold my heaviest antique cast iron pans with ease, and look attractive while doing so. I often double-up on one hook and there is no bowing or indication of strain. Even when heavily loaded, the hooks are easy to move about (slide left or right) without threat of the hook coming off the rack or the pots off the hook. This order was to supplement my inventory (several sets) of the hooks and none have rusted or discolored over many years of use. Enclume is the best quality pot rack system I have used (in stainless steel) and I highly recommend without reservation.

I purchased an Eclume pot rack a few months ago and love it but it did not come with enough hooks and/or pointing the right way. This was to help organize my kitchen and make additional space in my cabinets. It really does the job. The new additional hooks make a big difference. Matching pots and pans pointing in the same direction in graduated sizes.... nice. And they don't sit in one another to scratch the finish.

Cheap Anolon Ultra Clad Stainless Steel 12" Covered Deep Skillet

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $130.00
Sale Price: $100.48
Today's Bonus: 23% Off

I was looking for months at cookware. Been to many stores (W&S, Sur La Table, etc). I knew I wanted fully clad cookware. My options came down to All Clad, Henkels, and some others. However, what I really needed was just a deep skillet, and I could find only 2, a Caphalon non-stick, and this Anolon. I chose the Anolon because it was clad stainless steel.

One thing I really like about this pan is the handle. Very comfortable curve and silicone grip. The domed top also is convenient.

However, the black ribbon on the outside, while kinda cool looking, I think Anolon just put it there to save money on the stainless steel.

The pan was not as heavy as I thought it would be, at least compared to a similarly sized/spec'd All Clad pan. What this tells me is that the aluminum core is very thin. Which is obvious if you compare it to an actual All Clad pan. The All Clad (I'm talking Stainless or LTD) is much thicker and heftier. Now, all this could be rendered moot if the performance was great.....

The performance is not great. For starters, after the VERY FIRST time I used it, there were burn marks on the bottom. I have one of those glass cook tops and I set it to medium, and when I was cleaning the pan, I noticed several burn marks on the bottom. Continuing, after searing some steaks, and washing the pan, it left an outline of the steaks. I scrubbed as much as I could, but it wouldn't go away. However, since then, and cooking many other things, either the outline went away, or there were so many other outlines that it is just one hazy mess. Lastly, heat retention is not great. Just yesterday, I was searing some small hunks of beef to make a pasta sauce. The hunks were about 1 inch cubes, or so. The first couple sizzled when I put them on, but as I put more on, they stopped sizzling. The meat was room temp. None of the pieces were seared very well. They browned, but I couldn't get that crusty sear I was going for. Plus, when I was making the sauce, the sides didn't seem very hot. I was able to see my sauce bubbling, but only at the center. Maybe my expectations were too high. I was expecting to see the entire pan bubbling because of heat radiating from the sides.

Overall, while the shape is exactly what I am looking for, I would not recommend this pan to anyone. If you want the same shape (a hybrid of a skillet and saute pan) and you want stainless, this is really your only option. However (I've used the word a lot in this review) if you don't need that particular shape, look somewhere else. I bought a small saucepan from Henkels, and that also has a great handle, and is much thicker, clad, stainless, and performs well. For the price (about 80% as much as an All Clad 12" saute, but more expensive than a Henkels 12" saute) you lose performance. However, the All Clads are made in the USA, and the Henkels are made in China. You pay for made in USA, though (and I hate, Hate, HATE the All Clad handles). If you want to really splurge, go for some Vikings or Demeyers.

Out of all the options, I think Henkels gives you the best value for your money, if you are looking for clad, stainless cookware.

We originally bought these to serve ceviche at a party. It was perfect because it kept each serving chilled (very important when you serve fish), and the presentation was impressive with the modern design of the glasses. Of course, it's also great for martinis!

We had issues with the first shipment, as the glasses are fragile and 2 broke, but the seller replaced them promptly. Two more of that shipment broke as well, but we called it even, as we had 4 between the 2 shipments that were entact.

I used to have a green and white Krups Open Master that opened cans in a simailar way. It was thrown out during a kitchen remodel and was later discontinued. I never liked the replacement can openers because the dirty can lid and cutting blade would sink into the food and contaminate it and just make a mess.

I just received the Hamilton Beach can opener a few minutes ago, but this 76606 works as well or better than the old Krups so far.

I'm not sure why this isn't the way all can openers work. I don't see the point of can openers that work the old fashioned way.

The video speaks for itself.

I loved my Krups Open Master 404 until it stopped working recently. I found that The Krups, which had NO BLADE that touched the food so as to leave food on the blade as with most canopeners, is no longer made or avaialbe except on ebay. So, I started looking to see what is now available. I tried some other brands. These "other brands" had the typical "blade" that cut into the top of the can and the blade TOUCHED the food inside the can. Thus, food was left ON the blade. To me, after using the Krups for 7 years, this was/is VERY unsanitary---having part of the juice or syrup of the food left to dry out and collect germs on the blade. The only way to avoid having food left on the "cutting blade" of most canopeners is to wash the blade EVERY time you open a can. This isn't difficult, but it takes a minute or two which seems like a lot of effort when you're trying to fix a meal for yourself or your family. Enter the Hamilton Beach 76606. THIS ONE DOES NOT GET ANY FOOD ON ANY BLADE. In fact, I didn't SEE any blade on it that touches the food! So, it's as good, or almost as good, as my old Krups. Praise the Lord! :o) boland7214@aol.

This is undoubtably the best electric can opener ever made. It cuts the lid along the side of the can under the beaded lip. It does a perfect job,it is quiet, and does not leave any metal shavings. It will also cut the lids that have pull ring tabs. This saves your fingers. I give this opener a 5 star score.

Everything written about this can opener on this site is true except!

I bought the unit after a lot of research and all the positive reviews. And they were all true excellent unit,....until shortly after the one year warranty expired (isn't that always the way.) Went to open a can it whirred, spun around, did all the usual stuff except the can wasn't opened. After a lot of looking and examining, it appeared the piercer/cutter blade was missing apparently broken off (altho I never found any pieces.)

I called Hamilton Beach after checking, the lady said there " were no replaceable parts in the unit." So, I've got a paperweight. I asked her what brand she suggested I buy next time around she said "well, H-B of course." I told her all my previous can openers had lasted 20 years or more and I replaced them just because I got sick of them. I didn't think one year's service with no way to replace the cutter was acceptable, so, despite my admiration of the unit, I'd have to look elsewhere.

Using an estimate of cans opened and the purchase price, I calculate the cost to open each can came out to more than 10 cents/can!

I favored the results of my research prior to purchase. After receiving it, I was impressed with the size & weight. It's easy on the eyes and I like the way it operates. Since I use a lot less in the way of canned goods than most people I know, I didn't actually try it out for several days. Once I did, my reaction was "wow!". I do believe I have the best can opener *ever*. If this unit holds up well over a protracted period of time, I'll remain a 'happy camper'. Now, for the reason I only gave it 4 stars i/o 5. Upon opening perhaps the 3rd or 4th can, I noticed something *very* disturbing. As I removed the lid, I spotted a very thin strand of metal (about 1-1/4 inches long) jutting out from the top of the can (perpendicular from the body of the can).

Promply removing it, I could only think that had it fallen *into* the contents of the can I might have ingested it! To better illustrate, I *could* have proceeded to empty the contents into a bowl or saucepan and had that metal fall off in the process. Hopefully, this won't happen again....but....anyone buying this can opener *should* be aware of the possibility & be vigilant in it's use. At this time, I really think this *is* the best one on the market and I'm darned glad to have it. Hope this helps anyone considering the purchase.

List Price: $330.00
Sale Price: $275.00
Today's Bonus: 17% Off

I used to cook with a nonstick Circulon stir-fry pan, but heard that to do proper stir-fry, a higher heat must be used and nonstick is not a good material for that. So I purchased the Fissler stainless steel wok. It's a sturdy, attractive, well-made cookware with a special base that allows it to be used on an induction cook top, electric, or gas. The rippled bottom surface is purported to allow you to cook with less oil, but I have not found it to make that much of a difference. In fact, when I tried to make fried rice in this wok, the rice would stick to the stainless steel, despite my using a wok spatula to scrape the rice off during stir frying. And metal wok spatulas do tend to scratch the surface, as it would for any stainless steel cookware. So for rice based dishes I have used the nonstick stir-fry pan with much better results.

I have found the Fissler stainless steel wok is perfect for using with a bamboo steamer for dumplings or steaming pork spareribs in a marinade sauce, whereas a carbon steel wok tends to lose its patina if water is frequently used for steaming.

I purchased a twenty dollar carbon steel wok at Williams Sonoma and found I much prefer using this for most of my Chinese stir-frying. It heats faster (it's thinner metal), and the surface does not scratch when I use my metal wok spatula.

So I have found I do not use this stainless steel wok nearly as much as I thought I would. Which is a shame as it was expensive. Still I give it high marks for the quality of construction, well made, like the other Fissler products I own (pressure cooker and stainless steel pots). And on the dishes I cook in it during the summer, I can use this wok on my portable induction burner instead of my gas stove, and keep the kitchen from heating up.

After spending a bit of time trying to decide if I wanted this rack or not, I decided to make the jump and purchased the item.

When the package was delivered I looked at the bag of nuts and bolts and metal rods and thought to myself "oh great ... three hours of assembly" and went to get my power screwdriver.

After only 30 minutes or so the rack was fully assembled in my kitchen looking pretty darn good. The pot rack is sturdy and the graphite colored powder finish blends in nicely with my kitchen while helping me keep the clutter to a minimum.

The only thing that needs improving is the assembly method connecting the upper half of the rack to the lower half. The two halves are bolted together with four screws on each support but there's enough play in the assembly that the rack kinks if you're not careful and ruins the straight line of the support. Doesn't seem to affect the strength of the rack but it's noticeable.

Aside from the aesthetic glitch, the rack is excellent.

I am Woman hear me roar!

After receiving the 60" Old Dutch pot stand in graphite from Amazon.com, I decided to wait a couple of weeks before I put it together since one reviewer seemed to have a difficult time with the assembly.

Today was my day and I had absolutely no problems putting the pot stand together. The important thing is for everyone to take a moment to read the directions, which are clear, simple and precise.

After opening the box and separating the parts, I sat down with a cup of coffee to review the assembly. I took my time, made sure that all parts were available (which they were) and within 45 minutes I had my new, beautiful pot stand. I say 45 minutes, because I occasionally sat down to take a moment for myself before I would start the next part. The pot stand is very level; not wobbly. The metal is nice and thick and the piece looks expensive.

The only advice I would give you since I speak from experience putting together cast iron furniture is: don't completely tighten up all the screws until after the entire piece is put together. Once you're satisfied with your assembly, then go ahead and really tighten the screws.

My pot stand is beautiful and sturdy! I put all my new beautiful color pieces of LeCreuset enamel cast iron cookware (which I also ordered from Amazon.com) on the stand and feel secure that it will remain sturdy.

The stand is large enough that you can fit quite a few large casseroles. skillets and saucepans, but it's small enough that you won't be taking up a large corner of your kitchen or dining area. The stand has beautiful curleques on the top where you could probably put potholders or aprons...I prefer to keep it simple. I have seen similar stands like this at a very famous cookstore in upscale malls for hundreds of dollars more. Amazon.com's price is right, not to mention free shipping.

The graphite color is beautiful...sort of a dark charcoal gray (almost but not quite black). The largest shelf starts at the bottom; the smallest at the top. My largest LeCreuset casserole is 5.5 quart but I feel sure that you could place a 9.5 or 11 quart casserole on the bottom shelf.

The stand would also look great with plants, books or dishes stacked on the levels.

Keep up the great work Old Dutch and Amazon.com!

Honest reviews on Old Dutch Cookware Stand

I bought this pot stand to put my stock pots and chili pots onto to free up space. It put together very quickly and seems very sturdy. It looks great. I only have one problem. The bottom shelf holds my 8 qt Le Cruset very well, but the next shelf up is a very tight fit for my taller and narrower Calphalon 8 quart. I have to fit it in just so to keep from scratching it. The rest of the other shelves get progressively narrower, too narrow for any more large pots. I am using it for my Calphalon, not for the larger pots that I wanted it for, and it is still a very tight fit to get the pots into place. I have to take them in and out very carefully in order to not scratch up the sides of my polished pots. Not it does look great, and works perfectly well for these pots, I just wish it were wider so that I could use it for my bigger pots, and you really can't beat the price. I am now looking for a bigger stand.

This is a simple metal stand that does a great job. The stand looks great in the corner of my kitchen and allows me to store my cooking items out of the way while still providing easy access.

Assembly was easy and made even easier with a power screwdriver -from box to stacked pans in about 30 minutes assembled on my kitchen table.

One improvement I would like to see, however, would be a better fit/join of the vertical supports which are sturdily built but allow a little movement between the two joined pieces. This resulted in the appearance of a slight crimp in the smooth vertical profile of the assembled unit. Only one support did this, however, and that's the support that got tucked into the corner.

Overall a very nice additional to my kitchen.

OK. I'll admit I'm one of those people who gets overly excited over cookware, and especially over quality cookware. I don't need the fanciest kitchen gadgetry out there, or the most modern dishes, but quality, time-tested cookware absolutely and I'm willing to spend on it, because I know it's a good investment.

I've read quite a bit on the Dansk cookware prior to my purchase. I've first encountered it in Crate & Barrel and wanted to learn more about it. And what I found is that it has quite a following and now, I know why. It's sturdy and unique, and I can see how it will become one of those cookware pieces I pull out over and over for years to come. So I highly recommend you check it out.
