Quiko -­- Idli Maker Container (8 Idlis) Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Easy to use, easy to clean! I bought this to use with a packet idli mix from MTR, and they came out great! Perfect if everyone in your household doesn't eat Indian breakfast, because it is simple enough to be worth making for just one person (though you will have leftovers, they re-heat well).

Idli dont turn out Well / Light / Soft and fluffy. They come out flat from top.

I think the base should be more deep to hold more water for steaming.

I purchased this set as a Christmas gift, as my wife has wanted the 'dutch oven' specifically. It was a holiday deal and this set was nearly the same price as the 5.5 qt cast iron pot individually.

The set that arrived does not match the items pictured (and described). You receive five items, but the two skillets are both non-stick. Both of them are nice, one is a more significant build quality. As the items received are different than the description and pictures, I would deduct 1/2 star if possible (no fault of the manufacturer, but more an issue with the item description).

The taller 'stock pot' is actually enameled steel, not cast iron. As such, it is easily damaged. The first time a corner hit our granite counter top (from a few inches) the enamel chipped off both the bottom and inside. After the next (hand) wash, rust was evident. I'm deducting one star for the lack of durability.

My wife was extremely happy with the quality of the cast iron pieces in this set (two of the five) and of the two non-stick skillets. The set was a bargain during the holiday season. If the taller stock pot was of higher quality, I believe the set would be a good value at the 'normal' price.

This cookware set is beautiful and cooks fantastic meals! I have used each piece several times. However, when I recieved my cookware set, a 9.5" Non Stick Stainless Steel Fry Pan was included instead of the 9.5" Stainless Steel Fry Pan as described. I am glad anyhow because I prefer the non stick pan.

Honest reviews on Le Creuset 8-Piece Ultimate Cookware Set

I nabbed this item after stalking the deal of the day based on the wording of the preview... I just knew it was going to be Le Creuset! The set did not let me down in the slightest. Yes the items are mixed between the cast iron and non-stick pans, but that is the beauty of the set! I have replaced the old and have been using the new ever since. I have not found one problem with this set and it has had daily use for the last 1.5 month since the purchase. I will say, you will have to use a little handle with the little pot if you let it get to hot. This may be because of the gas stove that I have, so if you have electric then there may not be a problem.

While I LOVE the cast iron pots in this set. The stock pot (asian-made) is very thin and the stainless steel fry pan came to me as a 'non-stick'... didn't want to deal with returning everything so I'll just settle for what it is. boo. I just couldn't pass up the deal for the french oven and sauce pan.

Reviews of Wooden Sushi Press XL /Sushi Mold XL.

Customer Ratings:

If you spend the time making good sushimeshi, and soak the press before each attempt, you will get excellent results. Once pressed I took the top off, quickly turned it upside down and slammed it down onto a cutting board. Every attempt was perfect. I used sashimi grade tuna, avocado, and rice. Absolutely wonderful. Definitely do some research if this is a new thing for you. It is an artform.

I really like owning this item, if only for its look. I love making sushi at home, and this item only adds to my arsenal. It does its job and makes nice looking rectangular pieces. Fairly easy to use once you get used to it. Difficult to clean (reason for only 4 stars). Have begun wrapping top part in plastic to make easier to clean, but bottom piece is a bit of a pain. As stated, I like owning this, but would rather it be plastic or other easy to clean material.

The problem with making sushi is when you cut it, it falls apart! even with a sharp knife... I recommend using seran wrap to keep everything nice fit anf clean. wash right after cause dry rice is a pain to deal with! this works great compared to a regular rolling mat. the slits in this thing make it cake work to cut! now you see there are only 4 slits, which makes big sushi bites and you might look like a chipmunk! now if you are a handy gal or have a handy man around, we cut more slits right in between each of the four already there and it is PERFECT! so deff do that! sushi at home is so much cheaper! nots as gorgeous, but fun to do!

We received these as wedding gifts in mid-2003. We have several other Wusthof Classic knives purchased as open stock. The steak knives we received as a 6-piece set. We treat these knives better than we treat our friends. They get touched up by the steel, they don't soak, they are hand-washed and they go in the block when not in use. However, last night an approximately 1 cubic centimeter chunk of the handle nearest the blade fell into my wife's dinner. She was shocked, as was I. Upon closer inspection, another steak knife from the set was about to suffer the same fate. I think it must have been a bad production run given all our other knives, received at the same time (and which get used about the same amount) all look fine. I sent them back yesterday so I'm interested to see how well they honor their warranty.

Update 1/23/07: Received replacement knives today. Putting them back into the block was bittersweet because I noticed another one of the original set is developing a crack, this time at the bottom. Not sure what the issue is...

Main point: They appear to honor their warranty.

Many people might scoff at a set of steak knives at this price, My only retort is to relate the story of sneaking around (because of my wife's non belief that there was a difference) and buying a set of the Wusthof Classic Steak Knives and using them for the first time. No matter what knife you have laying around and how sharp it is, the Wusthof is superior. It is the most obvious in steak knives because you use them everyday.

The edges are plain edged, honed by hand. These are NOT your STEAK HOUSE knives no serrations. Your SLICING fine meat not disposing of a lost tourist in Texas!

Hand washing only, even with today's more sophisticated dishwashers with knife compartments preventing dinging and other damage to the blade, the high water heat and chemicals in the diswashing soap will ruin ANY knife. Think of the glass that you've had for years that you've run through the dish washer. Look closely and you'll see the glass is actually ETCHED from the detergent. And the old wood handled paring knives. Notice how they are duller and harder to sharpen? The dishwater temperature and chemicals from the detergent have damaged the steel. By the way, there is no SUPER steel that isn't known to all knife makers. Metallurgy is an exacting science, a formula to be followed, not magic with the Sorcerer and Mickey Mouse as his apprentice. Wusthof PROUDLY stamps the which metal their knives are made of right on the blade. It may be heard in a sales spiel from the college kid selling complete cutlery sets, that knives can be dishwasher cleaned. Nope.I don't put my saw blades, drill or router bits in the dishwasher either. They are precision edged tools just like your knives.

I'm very happy with this purchase everytime they come out for a meal. They feel comfortable, familiar like an extension of your hand, as all the Wusthof Classic cutlery do.

Good weight, balance and excellent hand honed edge. This knife is the one my wife reaches for first for her needs in the kitchen. Never argue with a woman with a knife in her hand. Especially a Wusthof!!

I love all the Wusthof knives we have. Before we got married, we had a functional set and a really crappy set from lord knows where. We had no idea just how good knives could be. We were blown away when we tried these for the first time. We had these since July and haven't had to sharpen them yet (I was sharpening my last set all the time). When were were looking into the steak knives, we really couldn't see the difference between the expensive version and the cheaper ones. We went on faith that the expensive ones really were better. We got them, and tried them on some filets. Huge difference from our old set. Then I went to visit my father and found he had the cheaper Wusthof steak knives. They too were better than the crappy ones we previously had, but there is a significant difference in quality and ability to cut between the two Wusthof choices. If you have the money, go for the more expensive set. You won't regret it.

Honest reviews on Wusthof Classic 6-Piece Steak Knife Set

These are damn sharp knives, comfortable to hold, and of course they cut a ribeye like the proverbial butter. Heck, they cut an overcooked, leathery skirt steak the same way!

These were a follow-on to the complete Wusthof knife set. I'd recommend Wusthof highly to any halfway serious chefs out there. This is serious German steel at a reasonable price.

Ordered these steak knives to add to some Wusthof pieces we had recently purchased. As with the previous Wusthof knives, we are so pleased! These are excellent knives. They're a little larger than the 25-year-old steak knives we were replacing, but they don't feel heavier or cumbersome in any way. And they are unbelievably sharp!

For cleaning, the Wustof website states:

"If you value your tools, we recommend washing your knives with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse carefully and dry with a towel. Technically, WÜSTHOF knives are suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher (except knives with wooden handles), but there are a number of reasons why precious knives should not be cleaned in a dishwasher..." The website goes on to state the reasons why you should hand wash their knives, but I was happy to know the knives would be okay if they ran through a cycle in the dishwasher. In a busy household, a knife is bound to sneak into the dishwasher now and then (that's what happened to the old wooden-handled steak knives that we are replacing) and it's great to know we won't ruin the knives if it happens.

The only drawback is they're so darned expensive, but we think they're worth the investment. Would buy again, and recommend.

I found the handle to be extremely uncomfortable in the hand. It is too narrow and the deep groove digs into the hand. For this money, it should have a better designed handle, something more ergonomic: solid and round and contoured for a better and more comfortable grip.

It's a pity, because otherwise it's a superb pan.

I really have to question how the other reviewer managed to conclude that food cooked in the Master Chef is healthier than food cooked in a traditional steel wok. Since this pan isn't nonstick, you'll have to use as much oil or even MORE oil than in a carbon steel wok to cook, because carbon steel absorbs oil as it becomes seasoned and over time becomes far less sticky, and thus requires less oil to cook with.

I'm not saying that this ultra-luxe pan isn't a great pan, but don't expect it to cook healthier food just because it uses multiple metals or costs several times as much as a cheap traditional wok. It's also questionable as to whether this pan transfers heat better than a traditional carbon steel wok, since the reason the aluminum core is inserted is partially because stainless steel doesn't transfer heat as well as regular carbon steel, so the aluminum is inserted to compensate. It might be true that the aluminum actually enhances it enough so that it can even beat out carbon steel, but I have my doubts.

I was given All Clad Master Chef pans as a wedding gift 21 years ago and they still look fabulous (they hang from a rack). The chef's pan is versatile and one of my favorites; e.g., with the flat surface, I'll make some sauces for pasta in this pan and put the cooked pasta in the pan to toss (keeping everything warm); deep fry foods like calamari. I also think the long handle is much easier to handle than the traditional side handles on a wok. You cant' go wrong with this pan.

I've been using woks for a while and this is my favorite design wok. Although many asian chefs prefer the semi-circular woks with two side handles, I think this type of wok has it's own positive traits that make it worthwhile to invest in.

Many Americans and Asian Americans are used to using long handles to cook and when it comes to woks, this is no exception. Although using a round wok has its benefits in being able to stir things easier, the flat wok is necessary to keep the wok in balance given the long handles. Also, the long handles make it much easier to use one hand to flip over food than it does with the two smaller handles. To add to that, when frying in a wok, a flat surface gives more area for cook to fry in. Less oil to fry more stuff in.

Also, with All Clad's blend of metals, this wok does a better job than the traditional "machine made steel" woks normally bought by asian chefs. Some may argue about this statement but I think I'm right in this. If not better, at least healthier.

Review of Calphalon Simply Cast Enamel 10" Fry Pan - Blue

Customer Ratings:

I'm happy with this pan. We bought a new glass top stove, and our old cast iron skillet was too rough on the bottom. We needed something smooth so we wouldn't scratch the stove top. The enamel coating on the bottom is very smooth. This measures about 9 1/4 inches wide on the inside at the bottom. Not huge, but plenty big for our needs. And this thing is heavy. Heavier than our old, and bigger cast iron skillet. I guess that enamel coating is what adds the extra weight. But the handle is substantial enough to keep a good grip on it.

Reviews of Johnson-Rose Hamburger Patty Paper, Pack of 1500

Customer Ratings:

The only wax paper I have ever used has been the type on a roll. These wax paper squares seem slightly thinner than the roll paper, but they are still sturdy and should do their job well. My complaint is that, unlike the photo above, the paper did not come in a marked box with a dispenser opening. It came wrapped in plain, white paper (like butcher's paper) so that will make it slightly more difficult to store and use. I'm going to try putting it in a plastic sandwich container just to make sure it stays clean, dry and organized.

As the description states, there are holes on two corners so that the paper can be used on a spindle. So I guess they expected that everyone would hang the entire bundle of paper from a spindle and a box wasn't necessary. Bummer.

I do not know much about different wax paper. But I found that these are a lot easier to work with then regular wax paper when you are using it to divide hamburger patties for freezing. A definite must if you are using a hamburger press I tried using an aluminum hamburger press without having the wax paper already on the press and could not get the hamburger off the press without ruining the patty.

After opening the box, my item, which should have been securely and safely wrapped, was open on 2 sides. Ironically, the sticker on the item says, "Maximum outer protection keeps out harmful contaminants." Really? How do you keep contaminants out of an opened package?

As far as my purpose goes for using the patty papers, they are intended to be an instrument in geometry exploration with middle schoolers. True to form, the patty papers did what I expected them to do, and the students enjoyed using them. Do I have the 1500 that I should have? I have no idea because the package looked like it was opened and used prior to arrival.

I'm very disappointed with how this company shipped this item and will think twice before purchasing again. I will probably spend a little more money and make my next purchase from a reputable supplier. At least I'll know I'm getting exactly what I'm paying for.

I'd NEVER use these as hamburger patty separators, seeing how they were contaminated during packaging and shipping.

I wish the manufacturer would consider packaging these in a box instead of simply wrapping them in paper.

Also, as another reviewer mentioned these have small holes punched in the corners, presumably to put on a spindle. For household use why not save a production step and sell without the holes.

Not much to say about this it's paper that helps keep your burger patties separate. I did find that if I stack raw patties (or pork chops) with the paper between each and then froze them the paper tended to stick to the frozen meat. A quick hit of cooking spray on each side of the paper resolved that problem.

First of all, let me say the set is beautiful to look at. They are all shiny, even on the inside. However, that's where the story ends for me in positive light.

In this day and age where almost everything sold is made in China, we take special effort to find items that touch our food that is not made there. With this in mind, I first wrote to Berghoff USA asking where they were made. The response I got is that they are imported from Belgium, but specifically where they were made was smoothly avoided answering.

Anyways, wanted to give it a try and ordered. No where on the box nor the cookware does it state where they are made (very strange, indeed), which made me suspicious. Alright, then we noticed small imperfections and scratches. Alright, since it was a hassle to unpack we wanted all the reasons to keep this and decided to try it. After just one use, we noticed the floor of the pot was blackened in several spots, like pits. The chrome was taken off after one use in such spots. This raised all sorts of alarms for us. After mulling whether to go through with the difficult packing we decided to send it back to Amazon and order something made in France in lieu of it. I would say this set is not worth the price. There are several sets that are cheaper that are made in China by famous labels (typically their mid to lower end models) that are much better quality. I would say I would not really recommend this.

I currently have Cuisinart stainless steel set as well as other pieces of cookware and when I saw this BergHOFF Earthchef Acadian 12-Piece Cookware Set on lightening deal, I decided now is the time to upgrade. There was one other review when I purchased this set rating it 3 stars because it is suspected this set is made in China and I do not know about that.

When the box arrived I was surprised at how heavy this cookware set is. For the amount of money I paid, I was expecting a lighter-weight set as the heaviness usually is roughly equivalent to price and this is a very heavy set. The bottoms are very thick and that is where most of the weight is I think. The set looks very well made and well packaged and very shiny. On my cuisinart set, the bottoms are slightly angled in whereas on this set of BerHOFF Earthchef Acadian, the bottoms continue to same line making a very sharp clean attractive edge and design that I appreciate.

While the heaviness is something most people would look for as a sign of quality, I am in the kitchen often and don't want to get a gym workout just from cooking. I prefer lighter weight pieces so I don't need to strain from the weight when the pots are full.

Honest reviews on BergHOFF Earthchef Acadian 12-Piece Cookware Set

I received the set in excellent condition. They look very good hanging on my pot rack that I built from an antique cast iron floor register grille, shabby sheik. The only thing that I noticed that might be a concern for some, is that the outer edge of the pan lids is very thin, and if you drop a lid, it can and does bend the edge, a rolled edge would help, but would then make the set more expensive. I was able to straighten the edge out. If like me, you hang your pans up, you still need a place close by to store you lids. They are made in such a way that a crafty person can make a lid rack that holds them vertically from small to large. I made mine from old steel and then after welding together and dressing of the welds, I sprayed it with clear satin lacquer, once again very shabby sheik. My wife loves them, and that was a hard sell because as she said " we don't need pots and pans, we have a set of circulon pans that u had to by" . That was ten years ago and the coatings was almost completely worn away. These new pans are not coated, and should last much longer. Another reason I like this set is it consisted of a complete range of lidded pans, and not a bunch of skillets. We fry and sautée with cast iron skillets, so I did not want a set with more skillets. Been using the new set for two months now, cook every meal from scratch, so we have used them extensively, still love them, worth every dime.

This is a foundation set of high quality cookware, suitable for any serious home cook. With stainless steel exteriors over aluminum cores, the pots distribute heat evenly, yet the cooking surfaces are non-reactive. While they do not have non-stick coatings, when used as directed (preheating oil in the pans before adding food to be fried), food usually doesn't stick to the pans, and you certainly don't have to worry about Teflon flaking off into your food. The stainless steel surfaces are also easy to clean.

If you are used to cheaper cookware, there are a few differences with these pots that you will need to get used to. First, since the pots are heavier than single-layer pots, the balance point for pouring a pot with one hand is right up against the pot itself, rather than out along the handle. And since the handles are solid steel, that means you will definitely need to use a pot holder for pouring, although you can usually touch the handles bare handed if you're simply moving the pots around on the stove. Also, the handles for the lids are steel, so you need to use a pot holder just to lift a lid (and remind visitors to do the same, so that they don't burn their hands). While the cookware is made in the Canonsburg, PA, the lids are marked "Made in China."

I can't say enough good things about this slow cooker. After many years of a basic model (trusty, still worked etc.), I decided to upgrade to a programmable so my food would stop overcooking since I am out at work for 12 hours. First try was the Crockpot model disaster! Shut off early and I came home to raw food. I didn't want to spend $200+ (Breville, Cuisinart, Emeril etc.) and sought one with high marks. This Kitchenaid was my next try, based on my good experience with the brand's other appliances. I was a bit nervous since there were no reviews anywhere for it but I took the leap. Great decision! I love it! Easy to use, perfect cooking temp, nice looking too. Highly recommended!

This unit has some nice features and accessories like the scoop and the easy removable bin. However, the ice cuttings are not consistent and definitely not very fine; the ice is pretty chunky after being cut. The Victorio unit, which is nearly half the price, does a much better job of shaving the ice. In this price range there are a couple of better options (like the one from Great Northern Popcorn). The unit also looks like it is made out of metal, but everything is plastic, and pretty flimsy plastic at that.

I bought this maker for home use and have used it several times. It does have a plastic handle and does not look as well built as the picture leads you to think, but it is working fine for me. I make sure I do not put a lot of pressure on the handle when using it. It chops the ice fast and the storage bin holds enought ice for my family of 4 to get a snow cone each in large to medium size cup. We do not use the snow cone holders. I would recommend this product for any one who would like to enjoy a snow cone every so often, but not for any comercial use.

I love it, I think the price is very reasonable, and it really works, my kids have been enjoying home made snow cones, you just have to be careful because the silver part is plastice so you can't press hard on the ice, you won't need to anyway, it goes down smoothly..

Honest reviews on Waring Pro SCM100 Professional Snow Cone Maker

This machine is overall not very good. The video tutorial claimed it could make 3-4 snowcones per ice load. We filled the machine to the top with ice and barely made two. The ice is not like snow at all, but rather like chunky bits of ice. When we tried to pack it down, the ice wouldn't go into a respectable dome shape. The ice was hard to chew and wouldn't hold the flavor well at all. I wouldn't recommend this machine to anyone who wants a serious snowcone experience. It is of too low quality and performance to be priced this high also.

Okay, I'll admit I'm old. I can remember getting a manual grinder sno cone maker when I was around 10. It was the most god awful thing I ever got, as it took half an hour or more to fill up half a cup. Those memories influenced me when my wife said we should get a snow cone maker for our grandson's birthyday party.

I did my research and found most of them had some negative reviews, unless you were paying over $400. The Waring Pro had a reasonable price, and appeared to be well built. Most of the reviews were postive. So, it was the one we chose.

It arrived packaged nicely, as you would expect from Amazon and its vendors. It was very easy to set up and connect the parts. It was, indeed, very sturdy and well put together. It did not have the 'cheap' feeling that you get with low end purchases of this nature.

Of course the most important issue: Does it Make Sno Cones?

Yes! Amazingly fast. It blew by my memories and showed me what is going on in athe 21st century of sno-cone makers! We had a bag of the 'big cube' ice. I was skeptical that it would be able to do anything with it, and was ready with a hammer to start breaking it into smaller pieces. However, the Waring Pro digested the ice as if it was slush. Two cubes and we had enough for one cone and it took about 10-15 seconds. That's right, seconds! We gave it the acid test at the birthday party with 30 or so 4 year olds lined up and hungry for their treat. It worked perfectly. No stalls, no ice cube stuck, and as quick as we put the cubes in they came out the other end as crushed ice for the cones. I was impressed with its overall manufacturing and the result. I would definitely recommend this product. The only caveat is that we've only had it since May, so we'll have to update the review after a year and see if it's still churning out the cones.

I purchased this because it's the only stoneware that is okay with direct heat. I'm using them in my toaster-oven and they work great. They are shallow enough so there is plenty of room between the dish and the burner. Also, since it's fired at such a high heat they are very easy to clean, nothing needs to be scrubbed very hard. Worth the extra money!

I just received this Le Creuset dish. It came packed in two boxes with plenty of cushioning, with perfect glazing in a bright beautiful flame orange on the outside, and deep beige on the inside. Its perfect for serving stuffing in, or other vegetables, bottom line is, the color is so gorgeous with Fall leaves spread around under it. It is absolutely beautiful! I've also had my eye on the large covered red oval stoneware baker, which I won't hesitate to buy now. Surprised at how much I really like this. Thanks.

Great piece that holds true to the Le Creuset tradition of high quality products. I purchased this particular piece to bake and serve a scrumptious recipe of scalloped potatoes as part of my holiday dinner. Not only did the dish allow for even cooking and wonderful browning of the food, it also looked beautiful along with my china and other white serving pieces. Highly recommended for serving a larger recipe size in style and function.

Honest reviews on Le Creuset Heritage Stoneware Au Gratin Dishes

I had only been using this dish for a couple of weeks before it cracked. I had followed their "care and use" guidelines. I was only using a 350F oven. No stove top. No broiler. Amazon was great, the sent me a replacement which I received in only a couple of days. However the replacement also cracked in only its second use. Again a 350F oven. I e-mailed and spoke to Le Creuset customer service who suggested not to use a preheated oven. All the cook books I've read always say use a pre-heated oven.

I use and like all the Le Creuset dutch ovens, but the stone ware is definitely not a quality product.

Sending it back to LeCreuset for replacement, lets see what happens.

I am always happy with Le Creuset products and this one was no exception. I recently filled it with hors douvres for a party-just the right size. Good quality and color@
