Kitchenaid Classic Silicone Scraper Spatula, Black Reviews

Customer Ratings:

It's tough to get excited about a spatula, but if you need one, this is the one you want. Sturdy, heat resistant, fairly cheap. Good for all kinds of cooking and scraping. You could probably even use this to scrape wet paint off a wall, but there's probably a better tool for that, not sure.

The best spatula I've ever had. It's pricier than most, but worth every penny. The fatter handle makes it very comfortable to use & the high-heat tolerance is a plus.

I gave this 5 stars because I do love it. I had one, a bit larger, for about 6 years and then it broke. I couldn't wait to get another since I used it all the time. It withstands high temps, and the rubber is very flexible. This gets used daily in my home and it is a terrific kitchen tool.

I've been looking for this type of spatula for years. They used to make most of them like this, soft enough so you can really follow the curves of your mixing bowl and get every last drop of batter out of the bowl. It's wonderful and I highly recommend it. I'm going to order 3 more right now!

Cuisinart FP-14 Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor Review

I was planning to buy the Kitchen Aid food processor, but the store was out of the model I had researched. I desperately wanted to walk out of the store with a food processor in hand after fighting traffic in freezing rain for an hour to get there. The Cuisinart FP-14DC Elite was in stock, a bit higher priced than I had budgeted, but it was huge and shiny and promised a tight seal over the 3 working bowls that, putatively, would allow me to process liquids with minimal collateral damage. The Kitchen Aid model I thought I was going to buy had several concerns expressed online about leaks and spills, which may or may not have been accurate. This Cuisinart model had numerous issues posted online about food getting stuck inside of the lid and toothpicks, toothbrushes, power washers, and steam-powered carpet cleaners being required to remove all the little particles. There were also some ancillary comments about the dough blade not picking up all the ingredients and food getting stuck under the blades. Every product has some pluses and minuses when used by a large enough percentage of the population, so I decided to brave the reviews, not let perfection be the enemy of the good, and give it a whirl, or a slice.

I spent twelve hours on my birthday making a five course very extended meal for my family with frozen drinks, fruit smoothies, home made peanut butter, peanut butter cookies, turkey pot pie, hummus dips, fried falafal, very low fat turkey burgers ground on the processor, spinach mashed potatoes, shrimp-stuffed homemade ravioli, served with homemade pesto, and all manner of goodies that I couldn't make with any consistency or flair in my old blender. I assumed that a food processor would perform some miracles that the blender just didn't have the oomph to accomplish and so far could not be happier. I can't imagine that I've been cooking for 30 years without one--what a dunce.

Given that this new toy is fast becoming my best friend, I wanted to provide this review to allay some of the concerns others may have with two specific issues: cleaniness and dough mixing.

All the big issues about cleanliness were associated with the rubber seal around the lid of the machine. The three bowls on this unit nestle together and the spring loaded rubber seal keeps everything in place. The blades lock into the base of each bowl and processed food can be poured out of the work bowl with the blades still in place. From the mixed drinks to the honey flavored peanut butter I had ice, flour, herbs, nuts, and juice flying everywhere and never experienced a problem getting one course cleaned out and the next course loaded up. Many people said that they had to resort to toothpicks to get all the food out of the lid that slipped past the rubber seals. Food particles, particulary parsley and chopped spinach, do slip up past, around, between, and above the rubber seal. However, I found no need to clean this by hand. There are open slots cast into the top of the lid that allow hot water to cascade throughout the lid and down past the rubber seal. Just a quick spray from the sink did 99.9% of the work. The tiny pieces of finely chopped carrots or spinach that slipped between the upper lid and the inner seal flushed away by raining water down on the lid's top while manipulating the rubber ring with your fingertips. The manual suggests just rinsing the whole thing down and throwing it in the dishwasher. But I tend to go on marathon cooking sprees when the family is together for a whole day and I'm not going to run the dishwasher every 30 minutes when I'm cooking 5 to 10 courses. Flushing the lid seemed to take care of the problem so I'm less worried at this point about the online comments regarding the difficulty of cleaning the unit. I may not be processing the same foods as the people experiencing the difficulty, but my limited experience to date suggests that the rubber sealing mechanism in the lid is a big benefit, not a problem.

The other issue raised in the online reviews was the effectiveness of the dough blade. I only made a pie crust, a pizza, and some raisen bread, but, here again, I didn't experience the same issues reported by others. I had to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times to get a dough ball to form and pick up all the flour off the side of the bowl, but this still seemed like massively less work than kneading by hand and throwing flour all over the kitchen while making fresh pasta. Kneading the pasta dough in the machine for a few seconds beats the heck out of the 10 minutes of hand kneading that my cookbook demands.

So, I can't speak to all the features (I haven't even taken the shredding blade out of the case), but I did want to address those two issues. People reading about food processors online may be unduly scared off by those two concerns. I'm no expert, but I intend to become one. I have to say, my kids absolutely flipped over the taste of homemade peanut butter and homemade hummus compared to the store bought versions. I can make peanut butter in less time on this machine than it takes me to grab it off the shelf at the store and it actually tastes like peanuts, not some homogenized version of Soylent Green that has had the flavor reinjected chemically after it was all removed in processing.

Enjoy.

I had the original Cuisinart for home use and have been using a Custom 11 for at least 15 years. The multi-bowl, locking blade, and reversible/adjustable discs on the 14-cup Elite totally hooked me. After seeing a TV ad and doing some online research, I just couldn't order fast enough. While those features are nice, the most important thing is how the machine functions as a FOOD PROCESSOR and in that regard....what a disappointment. The ONLY thing I did before boxing it up to return was shred carrots for a salad. While filling the large feed tube, a couple of baby carrots fell right through the finger hole of the shredding blade into the large bowl. Okay. Reposition blade, try again. Use small feed tube, assuming that will make fallout less likely. I might as well have taken a weed-whacker to a bowl of carrots. There were many nearly-whole carrots left around the rim of the blade (over 1/2 cup) and the contents of the bowl ranged from crumbs to nearly whole baby carrots. Nowhere near the uniformity I've been accustomed to with my Cuisinarts since the mid-70s. Great concept, poor execution.

And by the way, Amazon...it is REALLY reprehensible for you to display this item with a list of $545 or even $350 when MSRP is $299. I'm noticing grossly exaggerated list prices and "discounts" more and more here. Sad trend.

Best Deals for Cuisinart FP-14 Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor

First let me say that it is disappointing that Amazon has only one page for both the 12 and 14 cup Elite processors as they are very different machines. Having said that, I purchased both the FP-12DC Elite 12-Cup and the DLC-2011CHB Prep Plus 11 Cup. I did this because Consumer Reports rated the DLC-2011CHB Prep Plus 11 very highly (it is currently their second highest rated processor), but did not rate the FP-12DC Elite 12-Cup at all. I was interested in many of the features of the Elite 12, but not at the cost of functionality. Having tested the machines for a week now, I can say that I am pleasantly surprised and quite taken with the FP-12DC Elite 12-Cup processor.

The Motor:

While there is little information from Cuisinart regarding motor in the Prep Plus, I believe it to be the same as that in the Elite. Other places have said the Prep Plus has a 768 watt induction motor, and the Elite box states it has a 1000 max watt induction motor. In addition, the motor warranty on both is the same 10 years. They also sound very similar. They are both quiet, with the Elite perhaps edging the Prep Plus here, only because the base is bigger and is able to muffle the noise a bit better. This is not by any means scientific, but they are at least very similar motors and have avery similar amount of power.

The major difference between these two motors is that the Prep Plus has a dough feature and the Elite 12 does not. This does not mean the the Elite is incapable of dough. It is and it is heavily marketed for it in the sales materials and the included recipes. In fact the Dough button on the Prep Plus (and others including the Elite 14 cup) seems to be largely about product differentiation, or at the very least, it has limited utility. It is supposed to slow the motor so that the dough mixes better. In my testing though, it did not slow the motor significantly, and certainly slowed it less than the actual dough did. I also think a stand mixer does a much better job for this purpose. Having said that if you have limited space, both machines will happily punch up a dough for you.

The Work Bowls:

The Prep Plus has a Lexan bowl, the Elite has one made of Polycarbonate. Lexan is a very light weight plastic, but it is also somewhat flexible. This gives the impression that the Elite polycarbonate bowl is sturdier, and would last longer. Whether or not that is actually the case is difficult to say. In any case the Prep Plus bowl is undoubtedly lighter, so if you are an elderly person, or have some other infirmity, the Lexan will be better for you.

Both Elite bowls have a pouring spout, the prep plus does not. That's right, the Elite 12 comes with two nesting bowls. The Prep Plus comes only with one standard 11 cup work bowl.

The Elite bowls utilize the Sealtight lid, the Prep Plus uses a standard lid. Some have complained the Sealtight lid is hard to clean, but I have not found that to be the case. A rinse with the sink sprayer, and a run through the dishwasher (top rack) is all that I needed to get either of the work bowls and lids clean. The Sealtight lid does take some downward force to close, but I found it needed no more pressure than the Prep Plus bowl required laterally (sideways). In fact I found the Prep Plus bowl was inferior in use, in almost every way. The Elite bowl can be removed by twisting it left and lifting it from the motor with the lid still closed. The Prep Plus bowl, however, must have it's lid loosened before you are able to remove the work bowl from the base. In practice this is a real pain. I also found the button release of the Sealtight lid to be much more agreeable than the twisting function of the Pre Plus.

The Prep Plus has a widemouth plunger opening, and so does the Elite. Oddly, though the Prep Plus opening is very slightly wider, because of the way the slicing and shredding blades mount on that machine, it is a solid inch more shallow. This means you will be doing more chopping before you can get your food processor to do your slicing. In my tests with carrots, it meant four fewer cuts over 5 total carrots. Not a huge difference, but if you were going to do a lot of slicing making pickles or the like it would mean quite a bit more prep work.

The smaller plunger on the Prep Plus is a circular one, that can lock inside the larger plunger. The Elite has a wider elongated small plunger that does not lock. At first I thought this was a falling of the Elite, but in reality the extra real estate in the smaller opening is appreciated, and the need for a locking smaller plunger in negated by the fact that you have to press down on it as well as the larger plunger when using the large opening. The only real failure I saw in the Elite plunger system, was that it was missing some drainage holes that the Prep Plus version had, and these cause the plunger to collect water in the dishwasher.

The Blades:

This is where the Elite comes out head and shoulders above the Prep Plus. The Elite slicing blade is adjustable, creating 6 different widths for slicing 1mm to 6mm. While I can't imagine a circumstance where you would use a 1mm blade since the power and speed of the machine would render whatever you were slicing into mush the rest of the widths are very usable and make very good even slices. The slicing blade on the Prep Plus, on the other hand, is fixed. In addition, because the slicing and shredding blades have a smaller circumference, they do not cut as well. more about this for the shredding disk.

I have read people complain that food falls through the finger holes in the Elite disks. This did happen some for me, but over all the slices were far superior with the Elite blade. So much so that fully a third of the Prep Plus slices were uneven, where only 8 slices did not pass muster in the Elite machine (out of about 1.5 and 2 cups respectively). That included one piece that must have gotten through the finger holes. To be sure the finger holes are an unfortunate design decision. They are completely unnecessary given that the hubs provide a more than adequate place to grip the blades without cutting yourself. However, I found that their impact, when the machine was used as directed, was negligible.

The shredding disks were another place for the Elite machine to shine when compared to the Prep Plus. Both disks for the Prep Plus are an inch smaller in circumference. This combined with the odd design of the shredding ridges on the Prep Plus blade gave wholly uneven shreds. Some were very short at around 1/4 inch, some quite long at 1.5 inches. I can't think of a situation where this would be desirable. Even and long shreds should be a no brainer, and the Prep Plus blade can not deliver. When I first looked at the Prep Plus shredding disk, I wondered if it wasn't trying to accommodate the small blade circumference, but even if it is, it's a design that is faulty.

The chopping blades were much closer in performance. Both produced an even, fine mince, with a slight edge going to the Elite design. It took two additional pulses to get the same evenness and size in the Prep Plus. Not a deal breaker to be sure, but when you put that together with a far more functional slicing disk, and far better shredding performance, the choice is becoming clear.

Additionally the Elite chopping blade has a locking blade design, that allows for both more liquid in the work bowl, and for pouring the processed food out without losing your blade into the receptical, splashing food everywhere. This is a far better feature than all of the others combined. The Elite is a food processor that could legitimately be used for making smoothies, or milk shakes, because it can actually hold liquid.

So in the end I can confidently say that while both machines are very good, the FP-12DC Elite 12-Cup processor is the winner hands down, and the Prep Plus will be going back from whence it came.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart FP-14 Elite Collection 14-Cup Food Processor

I have owned two previous Cuisinarts (DLC-8 and DFP-14) over the past twenty years. I generally loved them but as a serious home cook I had two big complaints: liquids would overflow (when pureeing tomatoes, for instance) and you had to be careful when pouring contents out not to spill them or dump the blade out as well.

Those two issues along with a number that I hadn't thought of have been addressed by the FP-14-DC Elite. It is more powerful and does a better job overall of chopping, cutting, slicing and all of the other basic tasks. The blade lock function frees up a hand in the kitchen which is always important. Having three bowls is also a big deal we have been able to retire our mini-processor which required some hand cleaning. The nesting bowls helps with space in our Manhattan apartment and we appreciated the blade/disc storage unit that came with this processor (we had to buy them for our previous units).

When I was buying this processor I was very concerned by a couple of comments that other people left and I would like to address them:

1. CLEANING THE LID The lid has a silicon gasket, which is why it doesn't leak fluid. A number of people complained that it's difficult to clean. This is true if you try to clean it by hand. In my experience, though, it gets fully clean in the dishwasher (top shelf only).

2. Leaking some people complained about leaking. I think I understand why. With the old system of closing the Cuisinart (twisting), the machine would not operate unless the base and top were both locked in and the pusher was inserted. In the new system (where you press directly down on the lid to shut it), it is easier to close, but you have to make sure it snaps shut at the front AND back. I like this system better, however and my wife also finds it much easier to remove the lid.

3. Leaking between the three bowls we haven't had any problem with this and we frequently use the smaller bowl to prepare foods for our toddler. If you use the pour spout as the reference it's easy to align the bowls correctly to nest them inside the machine. We've used all three bowls in succession several times.

My overall impression is that this is a really thoughtfully designed product which was actually created by people who cook frequently. It has made our home life just a little bit easier. Cuisinart probably should have introduced this product a little sooner, but it is welcome in our kitchen.

I have been using a Cuisinart since they were first introduced in the USA. From day one I have been a fan and kept two for everyday use. A 14 cup and one of the small ones for chopping. I thought that this would be the answer in combining the two but it is messy beyond belief. Everything seems to wind up in the rubber ring around the top or in the lid. I have to take it apart and manually clean those areas to get all my food. Lots of wasted time and effort. You can actually operate the machine without having the top totally engaged. I will stick to making bread dough in a Zojirushi. This machine seems a bit "over thought". It would be wonderful if it wasn't so messy. The idea behind the reversible grater and the graduated slicer is great. I had every disk made for my old processor and this certainly makes it easier and storage much less. The woman who does the video demo acts as if this is the first time she has ever turned on a food processor! I am not returning it but I definitely won't get rid of my older machines.

Cheap Nordic Ware Deep Dish Pizza Pan, 14 by 2 Inch

Customer Ratings:

This is the deep dish pizza pan you grow old with. It's of the highest quality and the thick rolled edge ensures it will not warp. We made a deep dish pizza tonight using Cooks Illustrated Deep Dish Pizza recipe. This particular recipe is for 2 9 inch deep dish pizzas, but works like a dream for one 14 inch pizza. The only deviation from the recipe was we added 1 1/2 lbs of spicy Italian sausage. The pizza came out so good that our boys freaked out and now that's all they want to eat. it was one of those meals where after one bite everyone smiles and praises it. It was the best I've ever had. For the cornmeal naysayers, 1/4 cup of cornmeal in the dough recipe made for the best tasting deep dish crust that's ever passed my lips.

This pan is soooo nice and it's big. Be aware that this really is a huge pan. When I make a regular 16 inch pizza stone pizza I can feed 4 of us (2 slices each). This pan feeds 5 with deep dish. We served a small salad and cut the pizza into 8 slices. My wife was stuffed from one piece and two of us ate 1 1/2 slices each. The other two boys had 2 slices each. The boys must be stuffed because they always let us know when we haven't fed them enough. I love this pan and I'm not sure how soon we will return to thin crust pizza. This pan is made in the U.S. and I'm actually proud to mention this because it's so nice. Great job NordicWare.

Edit: Just placed my order for another Nordicware 14" deep dish pan. Timmy wants deep dish for his birthday and uncle Bob is coming over. For this price, it's worth it to have some leftovers to bring to work. I'm the soon to be proud owner of two of these amazing pans.

The pan uses heavy gauge aluminum and has rolled edges for additional stability. It is truly professional quality, and it should last for several generations! I coated it with oil and baked it for 30 minutes at 500 F to season it prior to first use for pizza. Consequently, pizza does not stick.

Love this pan, it is very well made and should last my kids life time let alone my own and I love the fact it is made in USA, makes me feel good.

Only thing is the size mentioned on the title of this product 14" round 2" deep pan, is not really accurate.

It does say in the "Product Detail": Product Dimensions: 15 x 15 x 1.8 inches ; 1.8 pounds

But many may not look there and just go by the title of the item and it doesn't say if that is inside or outside dimensions.

I upload a photo of the label that came on the pan to Amazon, it states: Outside 15 in x 15 in x 1.75 in

the inside diameter is not listed on label, but I measured it as: 14 in x 14 in x ~1.75 in

So the inside width is correct but depth is off by 1/4 in. Not a big deal to me, but just an FYI to those who may really want a 2" deep pan.

If I was to ding this on anything, it would be it is hand wash only. If it could be washed in Dishwasher this would be perfect. As it is I sometimes have to soak a few hours (usually let it soak overnight and hand wash next morning). Other than that it is worth the price I paid eighteen fifty.

The square shape of this saute pan takes some getting used to; I wonder why they made it square instead of round? And the weight of this fairly small saute pan is much greater than the weight of my other Swiss Diamond pans, so it's a little hard to handle. I wish I'd known about Swiss Diamond years ago and not wasted time and money on other brands. Swiss Diamond's the best, food never sticks, it cleans easily, it heats evenly, it's a cook's dream. -Oh, one drawback: I've been interested in the new countertop induction cookers, but I'd have to buy a whole new set of iron pans. Swiss Diamond is aluminum (then what makes it so heavy?); a magnet won't stick to it, so it won't work with the induction cookers.

Mostly I love this pan. I love how it looks, the see through lid, it cleans up easily and the depth of it means if you make gravy in it, you are in no danger of slopping over the sides while stirring vigorously.

However, What I didn't like at all is because it has two handles (rather than one long handle) which look so attractive and is one of the things about it that first caught my eye it takes both hands to pick it up and pour. Sometimes I like to keep the lid in place and use it to "strain" the solid food and be able to pour out any grease or liquids and with this skillet, you can't do that unless you have a second person to help you.

Yes, I could just get out a colander and strain that way but it's just one more dirty dish and after being married for over 20 years, I'm a bit tired of doing dishes and so avoid dirty-ing any extra if at all possible.

One good thing about the two handles is that if you have small children, they are safer in that they don't hang out where a child might be able to grab ahold but I don't have small children so this isn't really a benefit for me.

I'm going to keep the pan for now and will just use it for foods that I won't need to strain.

I don't mean to be overly critical but just thought this might be info that someone would find useful because it never occurred to me until after I'd used the pan a couple of times.

First I will say that I love Cuisinart products and that is why I ordered these ones over any other. For the first time I am disappointed in one of their products. The tongs don't lock closed, which is a mild inconvenience, especially when putting back in the cheaply constructed case. The case hinges are not square and the lid closes "off" just a little. I have to push it into place to make it latch properly. The part that really irritates me and dropped the score so far is that the tongs will not pick up any weight. I love to slow cook roasts on my grill and these tongs will not pick up a 3lb. roast. My cheap Wal-Mart tongs did fine with this all the way up to a 5 or 6 lb roast. When I bought my new grill I wanted a good set of tools to go with it. They are cheaply made and bend under any amount of weight. Plus the cleaner brush has a straight handle and the grate has to be pulled off the grill to be cleaned properly. My old one had a handle with about a 30 degree bend in it and could use to clean more effectively even with the grate still on the grill. Just a poorly made kit all together.

After working with all different types of meas. spoons plastic, copper, silicone etc. these spoons are here to stay in my utensil drawer until I die, and they will last that long!

They have a great sturdy construction, they are NOT flimsy by any means. The long handle make them perfect for reaching into containers to scoop out your ingredients, like baking powder/soda, cornstarch etc.

The brushed handles make them less slippery to hold, while the polished spoons let ingredients slip out nicely. I also live in the country, and I have hard water, after having so many kitchen items say "stainless steel" on them, only to have them rust anyway. These spoons have not rusted at all, so they are indeed STAINLESS!

My recipes have turned out better since I got this set. The best improvement to my kitchen are the cookie sheets. I used to have some cheap ones from Walmart, but after I saw the difference between food cooked on them and food cooked on these, I threw the old ones out, instead of donating them to Goodwill like I normally do; they were just that bad. I also love the color, its a very classy-looking kitchen red, just the shade I wanted.

4 stars because they absorb odors...otherwise 5 stars! Watch out for red onions. Try leaving overnight with a baking soda paste (baking soda and water).

Oneida 12 Quart Stock Pot Reviews

Customer Ratings:

We love this pot! It is sturdy, functional and attractive. We keep it on the stove all the time and use it often. My husband has taken up cooking as a hobby and we are learning to eat "nutritarian." That means lots of stews, soups and whole grain pasta dishes.

This is a great stock pot for making sauces and jam. Works well on flat top or glass top electric stove. Heavy bottom hold heat and helps cook more evenly on an electric burner. The pot is tall enough to cook large batches of sauce or jam without it splattering out. Great value for the cost.

My wife and I needed something with a little more capacity than the 8 qt stockpot we had, and this one was just the right size and at a good price. It may not be commercial quality, but for our use it is more than good enough. Fairly thick bottom seems to distribute the heat pretty well so you don't worry so much about scorching on the bottom. Nice smooth finish, lid fits well hard to find anything negative to say about it.

This small roaster, perfect chicken size, is beautifully made, heavy weight and just a great bargain. the heavy weight means you can use it at highest heat on the stovetop to make graveis when the roasting is complete, without worries of buckling the pan, like my Calphalon recently did.

Needed a large roaster for a large holiday bird. Very happy with this one. Very heavy, beautifully made, very good rack. Easily held a 25lb+ turkey or a whole beef loin strip. Nonstick coating was not an issue in making gravy.

We don't use this often, but when we need a large roaster this one gets it done and looks great doing it.

Best roasting pan I've encountered in years. Very sturdy, beautiful design. Heavyweight makes it perfect to take baking fond and sauce it on top burner.

Honest reviews on Chef's Design French Roaster With Rack

This pan is just what I needed for my 30 lb. Thanksgiving turkey and my 7 rib standing rib roast! Room to spare in both cases. ...and it's so easy to clean up! A bit large for the sink, but still easy.

I bought this pan because I couldn't find any wide enough to handle cooking my Turkeys. I usually cook 30 plus pounders and need a wide roaster. This one writs the bill perfectly.

Compared to my favorite Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized 8-Quart Stock Pot, the Le Creuset 8-Quart Stockpot is much lighter and easier to lift and carry when filled with liquid. This stockpot is not enamel-coated cast iron like the Le Creuset pots and pans, but the colors are identical. It heats up very quickly in comparison, too. Soups, stews, and stocks cook well in this pot because the lid is tight-fitting. I would like it for a second stock pot in this size. I like the Calphalon stock pots better because they all have pasta or steamer inserts.

The Le Creuset Red Pots are not the same cherry red like their famous heart-shaped 2-Quart Pan, but a slighter deeper shade.

There are a few things I like about this pot. You can get it in attractive colors to match you Le Creuset cookware. It lighter and easier to lift, and also cheaper than my "good" Le Creuset cast iron cookware. It is good for boiling pasta. It is not good for cooking anything that might stick or scorch! I am not a bad cook, but I keep having things stick in the bottom of this pan, which also wore quickly in spite of using gentle stirring implements. It is simply not a high-performance pan, but for just boiling things in water, it comes in handy, and you don't have to be embarrassed if you leave it sitting out, since it's pretty.

With my induction cooktop, this is a great pot for cooking all kinds of pasta noodles. It is tall enough even for long lasagna noodles, but light weight enough to drain with little effort.It is also relatively easy to clean. (If pasta sticks, I just soak it for a bit and it cleans with little effort.) This is NOT the pot I would choose for making a soup or stew. The traditional Le Creuset or the Lodge Enameled Cast Iron both work with induction and traditional cook tops, and they are much better for long term braising, simmering, and reduction.

Honest reviews on Le Creuset Enameled Steel Stock Pot with Lid, Fennel

I love the size of the pot, but that's about it. Everything sticks to the bottom, no matter how low of a flame is under it. I've tried everything. It is very difficult to clean once anything sticks to it.

I have this stock pot and I love it. It isn't cast iron nor does it say it is. I don't expect cast iron cooking but I really like it for gumbo, soup, etc. I have had no problem cleaning it or with the enamel chipping. I cook alot and I would recommend it to people who know how to use it.

Great set of spatulas, but dont make the mistake we did of putting one in the dishwasher. The wood finish got ruined, but a little mineral oil brought it back some life.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I've been wanting this set for some time. I must mention, the actual color seems more like a Burgundy oppose to that salmon-ish "red" as pictured. I prefer this burgundy-ish color, it coordinates better with the PD speckled red pots, so I was pleased either way. The wood handles are really nice and comfortable, I have other PD wood utensils that I only hand wash.

I took two stars off for the larger spoonula, the silicone feels less firm than I had expected. It's so thin/flimsy I'm afraid it might eventually rip or tear at the tip. Since they are supposed to be able to withstand some heat, I was hoping to use the larger for counter top cooking (mash potatoes, macaroni & cheese, ground beef, rice, eggs, etc). I can still do that, but I think I'll just stick to scraping cold soft mixtures just to see how they hold up for now. However, I'm still glad I purchased them.

Paula Deen Silicone Spoonula Sets: 10-Inch and 13-Inch Silicone Spatulas

There is nothing that can beat a good spatula for getting the last bits from a bowl. Be it cake batter, icing, brownie mix, bread dough, or a cookie mix. All of that sticky stuff that tastes so good once it's fully cooked. Oh, how I like these spatulas. You used these in the deeper bowls without getting your knuckles injured.

This Paula Deen Signature Collection of spatulas are something no kitchen should be without. The removable silicone heads are dishwasher safe and heat resistant to 500 degrees F. but the wooden handle, made form Acacia wood, needs to be cleaned separately or just hand wash them and forget the dishwasher.

Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the wood is designed to fit well in your hand giving you a pressure-absorbing grip to the handles put less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. If the wood shows a bit of wear use some mineral oil to liven up the wood.

Some of the product features are:

* Set of 2 silicone spoonulas in red from Paula Deen for scraping, serving and mixing; includes 10and 13-inch spatulas

* Silicone heads resist heat up to 500 degrees F and are perfect for use with nonstick cookware

* Stylish, comfortably ergonomic handles crafted from sustainable, acacia wood

* Outfitted with copper-plated rings for convenient hanging

* Spatula heads dishwasher safe; hand wash handles

* Perfect for nonstick pans

* Manufactured in China

They are great when you want to get the last of the macaroni and cheese from the dish or stubborn lasagna from the edges of the pan, even while it is still hot. The spoon spatula makes a great tool for stirring and scraping, even tasting. The heads do NOT melt when exposed to the hot food. Most of the newer pots and pans come with a non-stick coating and these spatulas work extremely well as they do NOT scratch the coatings. Cake batters don't stand a chance of sticking to the sides of the batter bowl, as you can pretty much clean them out with the spatula before washing. Washing this set of spatulas is a breeze, they come clean with a gentle washing.

You should be well pleased with this set of spatulas as they are superior in design and work as intended. Just like a good seasoned skillet, a kitchen isn't complete without a good set of tools to do the job right.

Honest reviews on Paula Deen Silicone Spoonula Sets

These are so flimsy they are not useful for much of anything other than liquids. The handles are excellent, but the silicone part is thin, too flexible, and not good.

Love them. The shorter one could be a little longer, though. Mostly use the larger one for heavier jobs in taller pots. Nice looking, very sturdy and easy to clean/maintain.
