Best Camp Chef Dutch Oven Stand Deals

Camp Chef Cast Iron Dutch Oven Stand

This table works well for what it is. It gets your Dutch Oven out of the dirt and gives you a nice surface to have coals/briquettes on.

The top surface has some sort of coating on it that makes for very easy clean up. Almost a non-stick coating like on pots and pans, but thicker, more heavy duty.

The legs are 3/8" bolts that screw and unscrew from nuts that are welded onto the bottom of the table itself.

I think for the price that this is a great item to have for use with your Dutch Oven. And I'm sure other uses for too..

When a larger table isn't available, this little stand works great. The design is simple and the funtion is useful. I've stacked 3 12" ovens on this thing without any problem.

This is a sturdy little table, I have two and use them often. They are perfect for supporting your dutch oven next to the campfire. It is also a great addition for those folks who have a bigger cook table, it will hold hot pots, charcoal starters and more.

Honest reviews on Camp Chef Dutch Oven Stand

I've owned one of these for a couple of years, and just got another as a gift for my brother. The design is simple, it's extremely durable, and does what I need it to: it keeps the Dutch oven up off the ground when cooking. We camp in backcountry locations with no fire rings, and in sensitive habitat areas where you cannot build a fire on the ground (protected desert, etc.) We bring a washing machine drum or backyard firepit, and this little guy allows us to use the D.O.'s Additionally, in established campgrounds, we can actually use it on top of the picnic table. We have a 12" D.O. as well as a 10", and have stacked them easily. A 14" D.O. would fit just fine too.

The surface is thick carbon steel, and there are large nuts welded at the four corners. The legs are actually 5 or 6" bolts that you screw into the nuts. With the legs off, the whole thing packs into a plastic tub along with the 2 D.O.'s, lid lifter, lid stand, gloves, etc.

This is simple to set up, ultra convenient, and sturdy. We have several Dutch ovens, two 6 quarts and 12 quart. These can be stacked on this table one on top of the other with the use of the Dutch ovens. The table is a good idea when you want to use more than one Dutch oven and you are at a campground that you are perhaps unfamiliar with. Our first time out with this one we went to a campground we had never been to before, and typically, we create our own pit for our Dutch ovens, at this campground that was not an option and the fire pits and strange grates on them and coals would easily fall through and the grate didn't lift. It was a terrible idea for a camping fire pit.

The Dutch oven table was the perfect accessory so we could make lasagna, bread and brownies stacked on top of one another on the Dutch oven table.

The table cleans up easily. There are four screws that make up the legs and take seconds to put on. It is stable and handled the weight of three full Dutch ovens. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

I purchased this cup and saucer as a 2010 Christmas gift for a relative. It has held up well, is beautiful, looks dainty, but has a good sturdiness and weight to it. I often drink out of the cup when I visit and while I love it (it's really pretty), I've found the cup handle, which is designed as a butterfly, odd and difficult to hold. There's no loop to put your finger through... sometimes I have to pick the cup up just the right way so as not to drop it, which makes for a cumbersome experience while trying to enjoy tea lol! I wanted to purchase other cups and saucers in the Lenox Butterfly collection, but will be getting the Lenox Butterfly Meadow Blue Butterfly Cup and Saucer Set instead because it has a proper handle.

I hesitated giving this cup 4 stars because it's so beautiful, but the handle is impractical. I would feel uncomfortable serving to guests.

It takes me a really long time to make a decision and I've been looking at tea services for the past year. I finally reached a decision over the weekend and ordered the Lenox Butterfly Meadow 7 pc (really 9 pc, yes unfortunately lids count as pieces too) set and decided to also purchase additional cups and saucers at the same time so my service would be complete. Initially I was going to purchase the exact same cup and saucer sets that come with the tea set but decided I wanted to add a little more character, and talk, to my service. When I noticed that the teapot was adorned by a yellow butterfly I was sold on this lovely set.

The cups and saucers are beautiful and will marry well/add a little color to my all white Lenox Butterfly Meadow Cloud dinnerware. Also, I find the cup to be delicate in look and very sturdy in feel, so hopefully the little butterflies will not break off. I decided to purchase four initially (bought 3 and received the fourth one free, thanks Amazon!), I may purchase two more since the teapot can hold six 8 ounce servings of tea but will hold off for now as I think I am running out of cupboard space:)

I purchased the pink and blue sets and I LOVE them! I also have the 7-piece Lenox Set and the cups match perfectly to the set, even though you receive two cups with the 7-piece set. My sister and I enjoy Tea Time every night together. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. It's Tea Time!

Honest reviews on Lenox Butterfly Meadow Figural Cup and Saucer Set, Yellow

These are very nice cups. As usual, Lenox makes quality china.

A few things I don't like:

The color is a little too light, it does not have the cream color tint like the rest of the butterfly meadow collection.

The handle is odd to hold, and there is a bright yellow line running down the center of the butterfly stem, which you can not see here. It looks as if a bold yellow sharpie marker ran down the middle. It doesn't fit with the style/color of any of the four cups.

At last, they are rather large (wide) for tea cups, they look like they could actually be used like small soup bowls.

I only marked down 1 star, because this is very good china... but honestly, the design and style has it's flaws. This would have to be my least favorite of the collection.

Also,the PINK set is the best in color and design (As each plate has a different floral pattern)

trying to find this ring for my model pressure canner, I had to turn to the internet for a replacement. This would not normally be a problem except that this was in the middle of the heaviest part of my canning season. I was afraid that I would be without my canner for more than a week while I waited for the part to come in. However, after I ordered this part through Amazon, I received it in the mail within 4 days. When we're talking about canning fresh produce, a few days can mean the difference between setting aside jars for the winter or consuming it all (if possible) immediately before spoilage occurs. I would highly recommend this seller as their shipping was extremely fast, the item was exactly as it was described, and I was able to get back to canning the produce from our garden in short order.

Quattro Stagioni Replacement Lids (Set of 3) Review

Quattro Stagioni Replacement Lids
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
UPSIDE: I recently received my QUATTRO STAGIONI canning lids...

I am THRILLED with these lids, mainly because of the PEACE of mind-of knowing that these lids are BPA-Free!!!

(It's the Only reason why I purchased them. I don't want to be thinkling about whether I'm poisoning myself

or others when I give them some food item or jam-preserve with a BPA lid...would you? (well...

some die-hard Ball-Mason/Kerr fans are STILL selling BPA to us. At local Farmer's Markets,

Farm Ranch Co-Ops etc. Say NO to BPA in Ball-Mason & Kerr lids!! and PLEEEEZE get the word out)

Sure their are PLASTIC "tattler" lids that have NO BPA...but who wants PLASTIC?? I do Not.

This Italian maker Bormioli Rocco NEVER had BPA! These are made of Stainless Steel and a ONE-Piece construction.

This is so much More Cost-Effective than replacing ALL your canning jars with

the WECK* brand (*All glass lids AND jars-that are NOT interchangeable)

DOWNSIDE: Some venders here on Amazon have different pictures than

what they are actually selling.(Check with them to be sure)

*** But I can say with CERTAINTY that what you want is the 70mm size or 2-3/4"--for the REGULAR Ball-Mason/Kerr(Yes. Kerr too)jars.

For WIDEMOUTH Ball-Mason/Kerr jars you want 86mm which is the same as the 3-3/8 ones being sold

at Goodman's.

P.S. Quattro Stagioni also sells a 56 mm lid. This size ONLY fits THEIR jar. It is SMALLER

than Ball-Mason's Regular size lid.

Since the QUATTRO STAGIONI lid IS a one-piece lid, it will actually measure larger than the

center piece lid of Ball-Mason's. But they all fit, and that's what you need to know. : )

These jars and lids are for canning, with one time use lids that seal in a hot water bath. I have been using them to pour milk and so ours are rusting too due to multiple uses. It would be nice to can with them but they are pricey.

Best Disney's Mickey Mouse Egg Ring Deals

Disney's Mickey Mouse Egg Ring
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

I am pleased with this Mickey Mouse egg ring. I use it for pancakes too and even use it to cut out a Mickey Mouse shape in my toddler's nutella & bread sandwiches (just rock product back & forth to get it to cut through the bread). My only complaint that has nothing to do with the actual product is that I could have probably gotten a better deal if I planned out my shopping better. Product only costs $4.95 through the Disney store (my egg ring came with the Disney store price tag still attached to it which lead me to look it up online to see if that was the real price since I had no clue). If you're planning to buy other Disney items, it might be worth it to research buying directly through them when they're having a good sale. I paid a little under $12 through amazon. Feel like I got a little ripped off and wish I had researched it more before buying so be sure to double check prices elsewhere!

We went to Disneyland and ever since the kids want everything in the shape of Mickey Mouse :-) We've used this a lot. We use it on sandwiches, with eggs and pancakes. My four-year-old son actually ate some egg because he loved eating it in this shape :-) I wish it would not be so sticky sometimes. I spray it with pam and it still sticks. It's not a huge problem though because I keep a butter knife handy and cut around the edges. I've learned to make sure the pan is very hot before I pour the egg or pancake batter so it doesn't ooze out of the mold. We love it! I would give it a five star if it wasn't for the sticking issue. We'd buy it again.

I fit in my frying pan but when I put a raw egg in to fry, it leaked out around the bottom edge. I had to spay both the egg ring and (so called) non stick PAM spray. I used it once and not again. It's a fun thing but not really for daily use.

I purchased this for a friend from her wish list and used it to surprise her with breakfast before letting her have it for her own. I sprayed the ring but the egg still stuck to the sides and burned on the bottom while staying runny on top. I came to the conclusion that it's probably not meant to handle grade A large eggs -maybe medium or small would work better.

It boils water quickly and efficiently. Easy to clean. I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 because I don't like that the heating coils are inside the kettle itself. I wish it were inside of the base instead of exposed to the water. I've only used it a few times so far. When the weather gets colder, it will probably get daily use.

Additional information:

After using it many times now, I realize that the smallest amount of water it boils is 0.5 L (about 1.5 cups). This wouldn't be a problem if the kettle kept the water hot, but the water in the kettle cools down fairly quickly, so by the time I'm ready to top off my teacup with the rest of the heated water, it has cooled considerably. I cannot heat up the 1/2 cup of water because it is below the minimum amount recommended for boiling water. While not a deal breaker, it is a bit of an annoyance.

Reviews of BODUM Schiuma Turbo Milk Whip

BODUM Schiuma Black Turbo Milk Whip
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
List Price: $19.00
Sale Price: $12.99
Today's Bonus: 32% Off
Buy Now

The Mr. Coffee Milk Frother, BODUM Schiuma Milk Whip and Aerolatte Milk Frother appear to be the 3 most popular milk frothers in the under $20 range. I've had all three and currently have two remaining. The Bodum died after 2 months. All run on 2 AA batteries. Regardless of which one you decide, don't set your expectations too high as all three have drawbacks.

I was quite pleased with the Bodum Schiuma. As far as torque, the Bodum appears to be the best of the three. I was able to whip up a good amount of froth when mixing up to 10-oz of milk. So if cappuccinos are your thing, then the Bodum is a strong contender. Although inconveniently placed on the top, the Bodum has a real on/off switch. Inconvenient meaning it's slightly tough to get to turn off. Many time this will result in you accidentally lifting the frother from the milk resulting in milk flying everywhere. As far as reliability, I can't give the Bodum a good rating. It died after 2 months of use.

Now needing another frother and not wanting to wait for one to come through the mail, I purchased the Mr. Coffee frother from one of those big box stores for $10. Compared to the Bodum and Aerolatte, the Mr. Coffee finishes a distant third. The Mr. Coffee will polish the milk nicely and produce a very nice micro-film. If Lattes or Macchiatos are your drinks of choice, the Mr. Coffee will do the job as both drinks call for little foam. However, expect to whip up enough milk for one drink at a time. The Mr. Coffee begins to bog down when trying to mix up more than 4-oz of milk. At 8-oz, the Mr. Coffee can't cut the mustard. It will take a good 60-80 seconds to produce an acceptable polish and little foam. At more than 8-oz of milk, the Mr. Coffee is totally worthless. Also, that big on/off switch is nothing more than a cheap contact switch, and it's very, very touchy. If the wind blows, the frother starts. Many times this means it starts when you don't intend it to and like the Bodum, you get a milk shower.

Now wanting something to move more volume, I ordered the Aerolatte through Amazon. If the Aerolatte had the Bodums torque, it would be the overall best of the three. Unfortunately, the torque is just slightly less. At 4-oz of milk, the Aerolatte will quickly polish and create a nice micro-foam. With a few seconds more and no effort, it will produce a thicker foam for those cappuccinos. At 8-oz, the Aerolatte struggles just slightly at the start but quickly rebounds. Count on mixing for at least 60-seconds before getting a high volume of cappuccino style foam. But even at that, results are inconsistent. On one try I might get good volume, and the next, poor volume. So 7-oz is about the maximum amount the Aerolatte can handle and produce acceptable results.

In my honest opinion, all three frothers are poorly made. Only the Aerolatte has any feel of quality, and even that isn't much to write home about. I've been itching to try another Bodum due to the impressive torque, but have held off as I want to leave the battery operated department and move to an electric mixing stick with a frother attachment. Currently, I'm using Ni-Cad batteries in both my remaining frothers to insure maximum charge as a small drop in battery power greatly affects performance. If you're considering any of these frothers, then you also need to seriously consider buying rechargeable batteries and a charger. However, by the time you add up the costs for all of this stuff, you may just want to consider a mixing stick. 120 volts of electric versus 3 volts of battery power is a huge difference, especially if you're going to be making more than two drinks.

I was concerned that the Bodum Whip was cheaply made and would use up a lot of batteries. I was wrong on both accounts I have been using it for the past three years, and changed the batteries only one time. I found it to be extremely durable and easy to clean. It makes great tasting, coffee house style coffee drinks.

Best Deals for BODUM Schiuma Turbo Milk Whip

I'd read about frothers running out the batteries too soon or not having enough power to forth well. This inexpensive little frother has been one of my favorite purchases of the past year.

I heat a few ounces of milk in a tall glass, then use the frother to whip it up. It makes a thicker, denser foam than the steamers at the cafes--yummm. I spoon that over a very strong french roast and add a little ground connamon on top....no more spending $3.50 for a latte. It costs me about 40 cents to make my own, and I use both organic coffee and organic milk, so a better product for a lot less money.

I've used it plenty of times and am still on those first batteries with no loss of frothing power. Though even if I had to spend 50 cents every couple of months for batteries, this would still be a tremendous convenience and bargain. Can't imagine why people would get anything more expensive.

Honest reviews on BODUM Schiuma Turbo Milk Whip

We'd previously owned a BonJour "Primo Latte" milk frother that died after about nine months of just-about-daily use. That was disappointing, and I didn't want to be replacing the frother that often, so I thought we'd try another brand. The BODUM frother has done the job just fine, but it definitely has less power than the BonJour model we'd been using. The self-standing design of this frother is really nice, though. The tipsy stand that came with the BonJour model was kinda more trouble that it was worth...

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for BODUM Schiuma Turbo Milk Whip

This is just a 2 AA battery powered motor with a whisk on the shaft. It's an excellent tool to have to whip a small amount of cream, stir a hot drink, foam milk etc. However, the Bodum product is cheaply made. The batteries are held in by the top cap, which is secured by plastic tabs to the body. Predictably, the tabs break and both the battery retention and activation button fail. I am buying another one but will get a different brand because the Bodum was so poorly made. Bodum makes some great glass products, especially out of Portugal and I respected the name, but this product is junk.

One afternoon I was watching Rachel Ray peddle her wares on qvc and her square pan caught my eye. I thought it cost a little more than I wanted to spend on a product that I was just trying out, so I came to Amazon and ordered this loaf pan instead! I'm not a serious cook/baker, but I definitely do more than my share of homemade meals. In the last month that I've owned this, I've made everything from banana and cornbread bread to cheesy casserole to pot roast to brownies in this pan and they all came out great! (Ok, in full disclosure the roast WAS a lil bit dry...) I've also used this pan as a serving dish it's wonderful for keeping breads warm!!

I live at a fairly high altitude and cooking in metal or glass (or even oven-safe latex) is always a challenge. I also have limited storage space, so I have to be *very* careful with whatever ceramics I have in my kitchen. I use ceramics from bargain basement Ikea to Emile Henry, and RR stoneware has cooked the most evenly and has cleaned up the absolute BEST out of everything. It also doesn't take up much cabinet space and is safe (when lined) to stack cups and small kitchen knick knacks inside.

While I really love this baker, the only drawbacks to this stoneware are: obviously it's breakable, the handles are VERY small (can't fit fingers through a pot older... BUT the curved edges make this easier to hold), and during the first use these is a paint/chemical smell (as with many new products these days). Also these are made in China (NOT the US, not Europe, etc.), so be warned if that is a deal breaker for you.

Here is the information that I consider vital when choosing a new product like this, and which is often omitted by both Amazon and reviewers. Will the dimensions match what I have been using, or not? The exact inside dimensions at the curve are 2-5/8" X 9-1/8". This is your maximum fill level. The lower edge of the holes are higher than the curve at 2-9/16". The bottom measured just at where the sides flatten out is 8-5/8" X 4-3/4". I was looking to replace my rusty 9 X 5 X 3" loaf pan with stainless, but could not find stainless in that size, and after ordering a stainless pan that turned out to be Barbie sized I decided to try this. As for volume this pan is almost exactly 1/2 cup less than my old loaf pan when water starts over that curve. Botton line, I can live with it. If it were 3" at the curve and holes it would have been a 5 star Pan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I bought this at the WMF store outlet in Germany. Was not the exact same configuration and hard to remember the price, but I think this price point is cheaper to the Germany, Euro denominated ones. Anyway, this is Gorgeous!!!! Simply a piece of design art and cooking function of the highest quality possible without going more crazy on price. The fact you can see the cooking process, the red silicone, the different levels of steam release... is just amazing. The only "drawback" is that the close section does not seal completely, but I guess it is not a pressure cooker. Scary price, but if you want something that will last forever and looks cool... go for it...

This is without a doubt the finest cookware I have ever used. The lids with the multi pouring holes are a dream, and prevent potential burns from steam. True German engineering and craftsmanship.
