I received it as a gift a few years ago. The caldero quickly became my "go to" pot. It makes perfect rice everytime. It heats evenly. I use it for frying or one pot meals. My friend helped me make suace from fresh tomatoes, and she fell in love with my caldero. She tried to "steal" it from me! I found this one on Amazon to give her for Christmas. I would suggest this for bridal shower/wedding, housewarming gift, or for anyone who enjoys cooking!

I bought my first Imusa Caldero over a decade ago. It's one of the best and most useful (and frequently used) cooking tools I own. And I own everything from cast iron to All-Clad--each is valuable in its own way. Tonight I made marinara sauce for spaghetti and meatballs. Over the past month I've made everything in my Caldero from pot roast to chili to picadillo to chutney to...(you get the idea!) It's a great pot!

Best Deals for Imusa Cast Aluminum Caldero 30 centimeter, 6.9 Quart, NSF Certified

I have some very expensive cookware and those cast iron enamel coated dutch ovens, and they're great. Sometimes I need an extra pot when you have a number of things going on the stove. I ran across this pot when I was looking for a tamale steamer. I had never seen them before, and the price was right so I purchased. So far I've made my chicken & dumplings, hoppin' john, rice, red beans and goulash, all cooked to perfection. The pot is easy to clean up and the size is great for large amounts. The weight is nice, because it's easy to handle and clean. The only down side is that the handle on the lid is not oven safe, so it can't go from the stove to the oven. Still a great pot and worth the money.

Its the perfect size for large groups, but I was expecting it to be more thick than it is. I have a smaller Caldero that is twice as thick as this one. The first time I made rice with this one, I burnt the bottom. I'm not sure if it was because I had never used it before, or if it was because of how thin the caldero is.

I first purchased a Wolfgang Puck cookware stainless steel set off QVC some 3-4 years ago to supplement an older Teflon set. Since then I have been pleased with the quality of the line and the way it cooks my food. Now I have decided to completely replace the supplement set and just use WP and have no regrets doing. I have not purchased any of the Teflon cookware but I might just to judge for myself.

This cutting board is not a board is paper thin so be sure you want it! I wasn't happy giving it as a gift, but my daughter actually likes it, although not as much as the thicker "real" cutting boards. Instructions say not to put it in the dishwasher but she does. I also found that trying to return an item like this costs almost as much for shipping as keeping it, which is why I didn't return it!

I have purchased these 3 times so far. They are durable, flexible, and work great! The design hasn't gotten marred by cutting on it, and we use it quite often. Will definitely be buying more. I would love to be able to buy them in 3 packs (or more) at a little lower cost, so if you are the company seeing this, please take that into consideration! The designs are beautiful, and look like art prints!

This is not what I would call a cutting "board". This is made from a extremely thin, plastic layer. It is fairly small and very thin. The pattern is cute so I decided to keep it. I am not sure how often I will use it as a cutting board, but I do keep it on the center of the kitchen table for decor purposes. I would not recommend this item as it does not appear to be durable for heavy duty chopping.

The skillet is heavy and well-casted. It has broad pour spouts which are more realistic than the tiny pour spouts on similar sized skillets. The thickness and shape of the handle has no rival in today's cast iron skillet market. Even the old masters Wagner and Griswold didn't do nearly as good a job with their handles. It makes all the difference. With a substantial, well-formed handle, you can more easily pick-up and maneuver a heavier skillet. I've owned my skillet for about a year and it is now virtually non-stick. Why did I not give this product 5 stars? The pig iron used may not be of the highest quality and/or consistency. That said however, this is a most used skillet in my kitchen.

This cooker is very light weight steel. It looks good and functions well, but will probably not be kitchen quality for very many years. After just a few uses, the steel is beginning to "pit" in the bottom. This leads me to believe that this pot was not made with high quality stainless steel.

The basket is NOT stainless steel on the one I bought. Rusts quickly and then leaves rust stains in bottom of pot during storage. The wires are too widely spaced in the basket to hold small asparagus spears. Pot is okay, lid a little thin but okay.

Before I bought this pan I did my research and looked at the reviews. Most people liked the pan, but some thought it was to heavy, some the handle to long and some thought it was hard to clean... I bought it anyway! And I'm so glad that I did because it's the greatest grilling pan I have ever used or ever seen!

I love this little pan! It's perfect for 2 people (9 1/2 inches square), everything turns out fantastic and looks wonderful! I'm a small lady under 100 pounds and the pan isn't to much to handle, cleans up great and as far as the long handle, its great too! I've done fresh veggie's, chicken breasts and fish, which all came out great. I think the problem with others that they just didn't wait long enough before they tried to turn something before it was ready to turn on the other side. I wipe or spray olive oil on it before I use it and use olive oil, salt and pepper before I grill an item, needs nothing else. And in a very few minutes, you have the best of an outdoor grill! After you finish and while the pan is still hot, I put hot water in it, add some dish soap and then after the meal is over, the pan is ready to clean...simple and easy! Doesn't get any better! Wonderful food! Fantastic grilling pan! And it looks cute too!

i love bodum products. especially ones that have to do with coffee. this was my first non-coffee bodum product, however.

i used my grill pan for the first time today. but after reading the reviews for this color as well as the others, i honestly did not know what to expect. here are the things that i did to make the most out of the experience.

first, i cleaned it out of the box with soapy water. then, i heated it up really hot with a little bit of olive oil. i also seasoned my steak with olive oil along with salt and pepper. it did indeed splatter like people said. it also stuck a little bit so i kept flipping the steak. when it was done the way i wanted it to (medium rare), i was done. keep in mind that i have an electric smooth stovetop and i kept it on high. the residue wasn't bad. it wasn't completely non-stick but there was little bits stuck to the pan. and finally, i waited until the pan cooled but still warm to soak it with soapy warm water. i scrubbed it a little bit with a cleaning brush and it looks just fine to me.

the steak was delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. i will definitely use this pan again.

Otherwise, very good quality, color is great and enjoying it. Handle gets hot closer to the grill and the handle is very long.

Honest reviews on Bodum Chambord Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan, Orange

There was one glowing review on Amazon when I ordered this pan. When I unboxed it I was very pleased with its look and feel. Maybe this was silly of me, but the box said it was preseasoned, so just washed it lightly with soapy water and tried to cook with it. The hamburgers immediately stuck like glue to it! Afterwards, I scrubbed it completely clean...not easy. Then I seasoned it in my oven. It looked good so I tried cooking with it again...same result. It's very difficult to scrub off the food that sticks to it. It hurt to do it but I threw it in the trash. Now I've started cooking with a new set of Tramontina stainless steel cookware. What a difference. Nothing sticks, as long as I cook at the recommended lower temperatures. Avoid the Bosum Chambord Grill Pan!

This is a large roaster... larger than I expected. The rack that came with it is nice.

The reason for the 3 star rating.... lightweight, handles are not as functional as I would like. Felt for the money, the feel should have been substantial.

The non-stick is excellent, but the design and handles, for me, rates a 3 star.

This pan works very well. I haven't had the chance to use it for something large but if I needed to I could. It almost dwarfed the whole chicken I cooked on it. Keep that in mind when you purchase it. It can handle a turkey. If you don't need something that big look for something smaller.

The most beautiful jam pan you can get.It is hammered,so you will not see

any single scratch or dent on it which is a usual problem with copper

cookware.I have bought mine one year ago and am very happy with it.The color of the jam made in copper pan is much nicer than the SS and the pan is made from 1.2 mm-gauge copper and is much thicker than leight weight jam pans

from matfer or m passion mauviel.You can also use this beauty as beverage / ice bucklet in the parties or as magazine rack .

I suggest to use only silicone spatula/spoonula and use silicone/wooden ladle to avoid scratches since the bottom is not hammered.

I would also suggest to buy a smaller size to have a better heat control

and also be very careful with the brass handles.they get very hot.Wash

it after the use,dry it with paper towel and put it on the still hot stove

to get ride of last drops of water in rivets and rolled rims.

Best Deals for Mauviel Cookware: M'Passion Copper Jam Pan with Bronze Handles

Wow. Who could've guessed that switching out to the Mauviel jam pan could make so much of a difference?

From my blog post () about my adventures in jam making:

"Perhaps my biggest surpise came when I made the switch from heavy commercial stainless kettles to the classic French Mauviel copper jam pots. I had always figured it was some sort of silly conceit, needing these beautiful but very pricey pots. What's the big deal, I said.

Well, once I tried one, I swore never ever to go back to the tall stainless pots. These make better jam. Period. The reason? The sloping sides is one. They allow for much faster evaporation of the water and that's essentially what we do when making jam. We draw/evaporate the water out from the fruit by boiling, replacing it with sugars. Additionally, the copper heats so evenly and quickly, that I never have any more `hot spots' or scorched jam. I use the 10.6 quart size."

If you are serious about making classic artisan jams/confitures, then you will appreciate the wonderful functionality and superb craftsmanship of the Mauviel jam pots. There are other pans and I've tried them but nothing rivals these. The heavy-duty copper makes scorching a thing of the past! And cleanup couldn't be easier.

You won't be sorry about getting one of these, and rest assured that you will have it and admire it for a lifetime. It's a wise investment in your craft.

Honest reviews on Mauviel Cookware: M'Passion Copper Jam Pan with Bronze Handles

This is a beautiful well made pot that does a wondful job producing amazing results. The only drawback is that copper is hard to keep shiny the mediums fault not the pots.

Nothing burns or sticks to the bottom. Fruits keep their wonderful color. Buy it together with Mes Confitures a book by a frenchwoman, who treasures natural, chemical free gourmet style preserves.

After cooking for a month...LOVE it even more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I learnt: Never, ever heat the pan without the fruit in it-it will stick at once. Please do not give or believe bad reviews of poor polish. It is not poor polish, it is a difference between inside where you cook and outside where you are not.

Copper will develop rich beautiful patina with time.

Wash it in hot, or soak it in hot and never cold water after finishing cooking.

Always dry it as you finished washing.

ENJOY!!!!!!!
