Unlike the other review, my Tagine arrived well-packed, so Amazon seems to have conquered the shipping & breakage problem. The fig color is a nice offset to the appearance of the food inside. It was hard to decide on which color to order, but now that I have this one, I'm pleased with the decision. I highly recommend "The New Book of Middle Eastern Food" by Claudia Roden as an accompaniment to the tagine. Her book has excellent recipes made from ingredients available in US markets. Many of the recipes, especially the pilafs, can be made in a tagine. This is a nifty way to make a main-dish dinner for the family, or to put an exotic flair to a dinner shared with friends. Rather than some new gadget that seldom gets used, this can become a regular favorite in the kitchen. Looks good sitting on the stove, too.

You get what you pay for. That's what they say and that holds true for this high quality utensil. Not having cooked in the North African manner, it's taken us a while to learn the little techniques that make a dish just right. This slow/steaming method of cooking brings meat to tender perfection. We've learned to add vegetables during the later part of the process to avoid a mushy result. Spices add definition. Moroccan families often have their own spice recipes that are usually combinations of common spices with maybe an unusual ingredient or two. But adding common spices, according to recipes, will still yield a tasty result. More individualized creations will take experimentation and time.

It is difficult to judge the size of the utensil from pictures. It turned out to be larger than we expected and is really too large for cooking for two. It is rated as a six quart tagine. I would say that it easily cooks a dish for four people and maybe even six. This could be rated for five stars but I put it at four since the capacity is more than we need.

My Emile Henry "Figue" Tagine arrived promptly and well packaged. It is gorgeous, and now, regally stationed upon a stainless steel throne of a stove...sitting there, waiting patiently for me to use it for something, everything actually. So far, used it for an Ethiopian feast. Tonight, fresh, ocean salmon in a Moroccan Style. Tomorrow, perhaps a vegetable frittata. I'm totally enchanted!!! So enthralled that I ordered and received the larger, black one and now when I gaze into my kitchen, I'm filled with INSPIRATION!

Honest reviews on Emile Henry Flame Top 2.6 Quart Tagine, Figue

This tagine is beautiful and appears well made. It is an almost brown purple. It definitely makes a main dish to serve 4-6 adults. I cooked 2 delicious & easy dishes using recipes from Tagines & Couscous by Ghillie Basan. Unfortunately during the second cooking, 25 minutes total on low heat on a gas stove, it cracked!

I followed the manufacturer's directions to prepare it "bring a small amount of milk to a boil, pour it into the bottom of the tagine and let cool."

Both the product description on amazon & in the pampflet accompanying the tagine say you can use it directly on a gas flame without a diffuser. I would recommend using a diffuser anyway. I used one for the first dish I made because it cooked for 2 hours. The lamb I made was incredibly tender and succulent, and it was cheap stew meat, so the tagine worked as it should, until it didn't.

I've returned and reordered. I will update after using the new one a few times.

***update...I have received my replacement and have cooked 2 tagines since. 1 at low heat for 2 hours and 1 at high heat for 30 minutes. With both I used an inexpensive diffuser I bought on amazon. No problems and succulent, tender meat both times. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is that I feel I have to use a diffuser, yet the product is marketed as not needing one.

I was worried when I read reports of cracking, but I searched high and low and didn't find a better stovetop-capable tagine available for sale at any price. So I bought it, and prepped as specified in the instructions by pouring in hot milk and letting it cool.

I've used it twice and so far the results have been stunning! I love the way it slowly cooks things on low or medium heat. Onions turn in just a few minutes into the most beautiful softest most scrumptious ones I've ever seen. Meat and chicken cooks slowly and evenly and ends up moist and tender.

The size is just right to cook for four people--or to cook for one with a few days of leftovers. The size has been good for everything I've made so far from Paula Wolfert's The Food of Morocco, which I've also reviewed.

The tagine is beautiful to look at and I'm glad I chose the figue color which is deep and rich and more understated than the red or blue--which are also beautiful as I have these colors in lasagna pans and meatloaf pans. The material is easy to clean--a couple times it got a little crust on it where the meat browned but it came off easily.

Note on Sept. 26, 2: I am revisiting this review after six months of use and my opinion hasn't changed. I've used it a couple dozen times and results are perfect every time, and tagine has not cracked even on medium heat and occasionally on high. (Mostly there's no reason to go past medium when cooking a tagine, so I haven't tested on high often). If it ever cracks or wears, I will post an update!

Cheap Sushi mold / Musubi Maker

Customer Ratings:

I don't know why people advertise these molds as a sushi maker, since any person who actually knows how to make sushi would use their hands, finger molds, or bamboo rolling mats to shape the rice. Real sushi makers would not be caught dead with plastic molds, period.

This mold is meant and designed for making ONIGIRI, NOT SUSHI. It even says that on the packaging, so I don't know why there is so much confusion over this appliance.

That being said, I love this tool. I know how to make onigiri by hand, but this does yield cleaner and nicer looking results. It's very easy to get the onigiri out, too. If you want cuter designs, then I recommend buying flower and heart shapes too.

I got this one as well as another one, and ended up liking the other Japanese Sushi Mold (Triangle, Pink)one better. The reason for that was the inside texture this one has very little, and the rice stuck inside too much. It was kind of a pain to get out, and pushing the little "button" on the one side to push it out put a divit into the onigiri that was dorky looking and showed the filling.

I used this gizmo for the first time and I have found a spot for it next to the rectangular musubi maker. Just fill one or two cavities with calrose rice, compress with the lid and use the little pusher flap to pop them out. A bit of umeboshi in the middle while you're building it and sprinkled with furikake after you pop them out. You're off with a great bento box.

Buy Mastrad Silicone Square Bake Pan 9" x 9". Color Black

Customer Ratings:

I bought one cake pan by Orka, and then some others by various brands. The difference in quality is huge! The other brands of bakeware were flimsy and had to be placed on a cookie sheet, otherwise it was like trying to carry pudding in a plastic sack. Orka bakeware is thicker and denser which allows you to handle it by the stifffened rim without the sides collapsing or bending. Also, the interiors of the Orka pans are very shiny and slick, making the baked cake 'pop out' as it's supposed to, whereas the other brands have a matte finish that clings to your food and holds odors. I baked Thanksgiving stuffing in a 'K' brand loaf pan and wound up donating it to Goodwill afterwards when scrubbing with baking soda and soaking it for a week couldn't get rid of the onion smell.

I do have two suggestions ..... Hand wash this especially if you have really hard water and always put it on a baking sheet because it is too floppy and needs the added support to move it in and out of the oven.

Buy Le Creuset PG4050-0430 10-Ounce Mortar and Pestle, Cobalt

Customer Ratings:

This is a fine mortar and pestle, with good colouring, even looks good sitting on the counter or a shelf. But, be aware the advertised size is much larger than the reality; the diameter is 4 ½" and it is 2 ½" high, not 5" X 4". It is plenty big enough for the small grinding jobs that I have. The inside of the mortar and the pestle has a rough surface which grinds well and is easy to use. The pestle is easy to grip and comfortable to hold. Also a major requirement is that it is dishwasher safe. It also is freezer to oven and microwave safe. It's a good piece of kitchen equipment.

As a kitchen item, this is a good pestle and mortar. However, I'm one of those wimpy people who can't swallow pills, so when I need to take something I have to crush it. For pill crushing, this pestle/mortar pair doesn't seem to work particularly well. The material of the bowl and the end of the pestle are very grainy. Great if you're not wanting to turn something into powder-such as a spice or herb. But when you ARE wanting to crush something to a fine powder, the substance seems to get stuck around the edges of the pestle. (This happens regardless of the pill type.)

For herbs and spices, this pair is no doubt excellent so I'd definitely recommend it for those purposes. For pharmacological use (I'm sure there's more of you non-pill-swallowers out there than just me), it's not a good bowl and I've gone back to the use of my other bulkier less attractive pestle/mortar for that.

I first encountered both Moroccan cuisine and Le Creuset's version of the classic Moroccan tajine in France several years ago. Only upon my return to the United States, however, was my desire for this obscure item finally fulfilled. As is the case with all Le Creuset cookware I've used, the tajine's heavy cast iron base distributes heat evenly and effectively. The tajine is essentially a braising device: the temperature differential between the hot base and the cooler ceramic top causes rising steam to condense, basting the contents as they cook. A simple tajine of chicken and sweet potato with stewed prunes or apricots and almonds produces impeccably moist chicken and well-cooked vegetables each and every time. I've yet to try my hand at lamb, but I anticipate similarly succulent results. The base alone serves equally well for small curries, sauces or stews. My only wish would be for a slightly larger tajine; the two-liter capacity is perfect for two to four people, but would be too small for any more copious meal. Ultimately, though, this is an unusual and unusually versatile and effective piece of cookware and I feel very fortunate to own one!

I loved using this piece of cookware until I noticed the enamel on the base is flaking off. It wouldn't be a problem if it was on the outside of the base, but it's on the inside, so I haven't used it since noticing. I see everyone else is very happy with theirs, so it might be that I got a defective one. Le Creuset wants me to pay for the shipping to send it back (both the top and bottom piece, even though the bottom is the only part with the problem) so they can evaluate it. It's pretty heavy, so I'm pondering whether to skip the shipping and just move to a different brand and toss this one. Hopefully nobody else will have this problem with theirs. Mine is about a year old, and I've used it maybe 10 times. Update: I decided to return the unit and they replaced it without a problem. I think the shipping was around $20, but hopefully this one won't have any issues. Another update: no problems with this new one. I may have been at fault for the flaking afterall I had put the heat on high a couple times, to get it to heat up faster, and that probably caused the flaking. Be sure to keep the heat low at all times. It was well worth the $20 shipping charge to get another one. Very happy with this product. Upgraded to 5 stars.

In the Le Creuset fashion, this tagine is beautifully and authentically styled. Although original tagines were made of clay, this cast model cooks beautifully and can be used on stove top or in the oven. The unusual funnel shape helps to maintain moisture in the food, and blends the flavors into mouthwateriing dishes. I love the quality of Le Creuset and am very happy to add this tagine to my collection.

The tagine works as advertised. We've had three meals and all were excellent. On the "con" side, heat transfers to the lid and it can get quite hot. Size is an issue when trying to cook for more than three or four people. Other than that, we are very pleased with the results.

incredibly fast and even searing/cooking of thick cuts of meat and chopped vegetables. i'm extremely pleased with my decision to purchase this saute pan as i spent hours and hours reading cookware reviews shared by others. this pan outperforms my all-clad, calphalon and copper pans in the saute arena AND the sitram profiserie collection is nsf certified, tested to 1112 degrees farenheit, 18/10 stainless steel, suitable for all heat sources (including induction cook tops) and safe for ovens and freezers. with a matte finish and rounded, stay cool stainless steel, hand-welded handles and limited lifetime warranty, it's well worth the money. while my order did not include a lid, a matching sitram lid or a universal, no name lid is available.

Sitram makes excellent cookware in France at an equal or lower cost than other companies that make inferior products in China. When I was cooking at one of LA's top restaurants we used all Sitram, apart from some cast-iron stuff.

A warning about this product description, though--it's not actually 7.9". If you are confused, go here: Sitram Profiserie 4.9-Quart Commercial Stainless Steel Saute Pan and select the 3.3 QT option. This pan is 9.5" across. The 7.9 is really too small, unless you are heating up single portions. The 11.9" (4.9 QT) is also very good, but sometimes can be too large depending on how much you're cooking. But just buy them all--they're cheap!

Discount Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 4-1/2-Quart Saucepan with Glass Lid

Customer Ratings:

I have a very complete set of Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware and it is fabulous. The quality and finish are superb. The handles are very securely attached with more rivets than the much more expensive All Clad cookware. The lids fit perfectly and the see-through tempered glass allows you to look inside to see if your water is coming to a boil without having to frequently lift the lid which allows heat to escape.

This 4 1/2 quart pot is just that: 4 1/2 quart capacity. Some lines of multi-clad cookware claim the pot or pan is a certain capacity, but it falls far short. Not Calphalon! If they say it's a 4 1/2 quart pot, you can count on it!

This pot has a loop-type "helper handle" opposite its main handle--a must when you get into a pot of this size. This makes it much easier and safer to move from the stove or to pour off hot liquids. Please note, this loop-style helper handle and the handles on the pot lids will get hot during stovetop cooking, so you'll need to use pot holders or oven mit to protect your hands. The long handles will stay cool enough to touch during stovetop cooking, but if you put the pan or pot into the oven, all surfaces will get hot and you will need hand protection.

This cookware is very sturdy and heavy with a layer of heat-transmitting aluminum sandwiched in between the outer and inner layers of stainless steel so it heats evenly and quickly. This aluminum layer runs all around the sides as well as the bottom of the cookware. If you are making delicate sauces that can scorch easily, you don't have to worry with this pot. I have cooked a lot of rice, cheese sauces, bechamel or starchy sauces but, with low heat and occasional stirring, they don't stick or scorch on the bottom of this sauce pot. They cook evenly and perfectly. Not even my (thinner) non-stick pots can do that!

You can use this cookware on all sorts of smooth cooktops, as well as on conventional gas or electric stoves. They have perfectly flat bottoms that maintain contact with the cooking surface. They won't warp with high heat. They can be moved directly from the stove top to the oven or go under the broiler.

All of my Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless cookware have a smooth pouring lip which I consider essential for any good sauce pot. If you are pouring hot liquids out of a pot with a straight side and no pouring lip, you never know where they will go. More often than not, they will run down the outside of the pot and all over the counter or floor! That has never happened when I use a pot with this well designed pouring lip.

Clean up is easy. I always hand wash my Calphalon Tri-Ply, as the manufacturer recommends. After cooking, I rinse out the pots and pans and run a little clear water in the bottom to soften any food residue while we have dinner. If you have some really crusted-on deposits on the bottom of the pan (this is called fond), deglaze the pan with a little plain water and turn a on a low heat under the pan. Stir for about one minute to scrape the food deposits off the bottom. They'll come off like magic. Let the pan cool, then wash in hot, sudsy water and use some Barkeeper's Friend for Stainless Steel cleanser for any stubborn food stains (such as starchy marks left from cooking pasta or rice). They'll clean up beautifully. Rinse well and dry them immediately to avoid any unsightly hard water spots that might dry on them otherwise.

A tip: Any stainless steel pot or pan can develop mineral stains if you add salt to cold water and then heat it to a boil. The salt won't dissolve in the cold water and it sits on the bottom of the pot or pan reacting with the heat from the burner under the pan. The resulting mineral stains may never come out but they will not affect the performance of the cookware in the slightest. Always wait until your water comes to a boil before adding any salt and stir it immediately so it will dissolve quickly. You will not have any problems with mineral stains if you do this.

If you are looking for quality cookware that will last a lifetime, I highly recommend this line of Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel cookware. It's as good as the much more expensive All Clad, in my opinion, but much more affordable. I have some All Clad, but it's my Calphalon Tri-Ply that I use the most. They really are a lifetime investment and one that you may want to pass on down to your children.

This is a fine piece of cookware and also a great way to display your prepared meal for a party or nice dinner with friends/family. It is nice and thick and heavy so that you can evenly cook a large portion of food. We have used it both for cooking and just as a display platter so in some ways we get double-use out of it.

My biggest complaint is that we don't have enough excuses to use it all the time because we only have 2 small children and 2 adults so it is sometimes too large to use for an everyday meal. I've done eggs, pancakes, bacon and hashbrowns on this although I prefer a carbon steel griddle for these items.

This is so good for a large fresh fish filet to cook it on the stove top or to use this kind of like a paella pan for rice/stir fry types of meals. I love it. 1-star off for being a little thin on the very outside edge surface which dented when I banged it in to the side of my stove, but the cooking surface is very thick and heavy so it cooks evenly.

I purchased the Demeyere Apollo Maxigrill for our new induction stove. I carefully seasoned it as advised.Pancakes and French toast stick to it horribly. I don't usually use much oil but even with oil the same results. I called Zwilling who handles Demeyere. It took great patience and effort to finally get a human and he didn't seem very interested. Just told me the heat was too high and that if the food stuck it meant it wasn't cooked!!!! Nevertheless, I tried again, at lower heat, with the same sad results. It took me three days of leaving messages to get a call back. He said that they had so many people calling that it always took a while to return calls!!!! Hmmmm. Then I learned that though they will pay to have the griddle sent back and checked...they NEVER do refunds. SO! I am pretty unhappy. Maybe a meat-eater will be happy with this product but I, as a vegan, am most unhappy and disappointed in what should be a top-of-the-line piece of cookware.

They should have said it was for cooking meat.

My wife and I bought this model several years ago, and it worked fine the first time we used it. She ground about sixteen pounds of venison into hamburger. It took all day, but it worked.

Now, some years later, I attempted to make more venison hamburger from this seasons catch. It did not go well.

After four pounds made, the grinder blade suddenly stopped turning while at the same time there was the unmistakable, loud(er) sound of grinding gears from inside the unit.

I must confess that I did not realize how lightly constructed the unit was. My wife ordered the unit and I had never handled it until today. When I did, I said to myself, "This plastic thing is too light. It can't be very strong inside."

This was a gift for my mother for Christmas. My parents always have the whole family over to their house for Christmas and they are coffee drinkers. This has always been a problem because space limitations and lack of availability of larger coffee makers that would fit in has always been a problem. She'd always have to make 2 pots and eventually, people would wind up with cool coffee since not everyone wanted it at the same time. In comes this Zojirushi SRAG30 Airpot. Now, not being a coffee drinker myself, I did a lot of research in advance. As there wasn't a lot of feedback available for this particular product, I don't know if I just got lucky in picking it or if the limited information was just that accurate, but this thing is literally almost unbelievable. Not only was the coffee made 3 hours before the first cup was pourted still hot when the last cup was poured, but it was hot the next morning, 20 hour later...and still steaming hot the next evening, 30 hours later. This morning, the coffee coming out of it is still apparently steaming. Now while I'm sure it's much cooler than it was when it first went in, the fact that I can still see visible steam rising from what's coming out of it coming up on 2 days later is just amazing. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Now, the scientist in me knows not everyone will get these same results as some external factors most likely played a part in this. For starters, when preparing it for it's first use, I boiled water (raging boil, not just hot tap water) and filled it. I then proceeded to close it up and pump out the hot water which would have increased the pressure of the hot air inside, warming it more. Then after the coffee was put into it, I put it on top of the stove, on which the oven was running periodically throughout the day. I'm sure this helped to keep it hot. However, this was during the winter and a nearby window was open much of the time, so there was also a cooling factor as well.

Overall, I can't say enough good about this product. While not the most extravagant gift I purchased this year, it may turn out to be the best as far as doing what it's meant to do.

I bought this pumper to replace one manufactured by the same company I have had and used for about fourteen years. The earlier model has a glass reservoir. The Zojirushi Stainless Steel Easy Serve (pumper) has a stainless steel reservoir, not all of their models have a stainless reservoir. I perk a pot of coffee, the old fashioned style, every morning and put the coffee into a pre-heated pumper. I drink coffee throughout the day and the pumper keeps the coffee hot all day long. The older model kept fluids hot only about half a day. The unit is easy to take apart and clean. My grandmother had a restaurant in San Francisco for over forty years. We purchased our coffee and coffee related equipment from "Farmers Brothers" and the salesman gave me a great hint about cleaning stainless and glass coffee ware. Use "Seventh Generation" "powdered" Dishwasher soap. It is the same stuff that the commercial coffee suppliers sell as coffee equipment cleaning powder and is much less expensive. You can find it at the following grocery stores: Raley's, Bel Air, and Nob Hill stores. I have also found it at some health food stores as it is considered a "Green" cleaning detergent. Be sure to thoroughly rinse the pot and the pumper tube before using the pumper after you wash it! The bottom line, I REALLY like the pumper and I think you will too!

Does a great job keeping tea or coffee hot. Second day beverage is still warm. Third day, lukewarm. As good as what's in the coffee shops. Only improvement I would like is a wider mouth to make cleaning easier. Would highly recommend buying this product.

Honest reviews on Zojirushi Stainless-Steel Easy-Serve Airpot

I don't think this airport keeps the coffee very hot unless it is filled to the brim each time. It takes almost 20 cups to fill to the top. Maybe I should have looked for a smaller version.
