And anyone can use it, whether you are right handed, left handed, or -like a politician -underhanded. It's Swiss quality! See that loop on the side? That gets the eyes of your potatoes, and cleans up pineapples without wasting any fruit! It even slices cheese into wafer thin slices, effortlessly!

I have 3 years buying this peeler and absolutely love it and will never use another as long as I can. It peels everything so easily, quickly and slices thin as well. Like coleslaw? Well this makes thin slivers of cabbage a breeze.The handle can be turned around to scoop out the guts of a melon, pumpkin etc... The notch on the side pulls out the eyes of potatoes easy as well.

I have arthric hands and cannot peel without causing me much pain but with this wide handle, I can for long periods of time without effort. I gift these to all the cooks I know and we are all in awe of this great product.

I will be honest and state that it does rust easily if you do not oil the hinge after every use (cooking oil is all that is needed), and is not dishwahser safe but it is worth the effort.

I've had this for over a year, and I love it. Everyone that ever used it in my kitchen also loved it.

Just be careful and don't use it for peeling small or round things like apples for example, or you'll cut nice thin pieces of your holding thumb just like I did.

This peeler is perfect for big potatoes, squash, carrots, cucumbers, or anything that's elongated.

Also, do not wash it in the dishwasher, or leave it in water. Just rinse it right after use and hang it to dry. You don't want rust on it, do ya?

Honest reviews on Swisspro Vegetable Peeler

I've been using the same peeler for at least 10 years. It is finally starting to die slowly. I never oiled it, washed it in the dishwasher all the time. It just kept working like it was new all these years. I bought it at a flea market in Stormville, NY for about $2.50. I sure have gotten my money's worth.

You know when you peel a pineapple with a knife and you leave all the bits behind? Use the eye, you pull the bits out the back. Use the same eye, you're gonna make really good french fries. You know why they're so good? They've got three sides, not four (that's how the French make them). They use less oil, and they cook quicker. And if you want to make them taste great, you leave the skin on the potato. You don't peel it, you wash it. Cook them like that with the skin on. And if you cook these yourself without trans-fat, you wash them down with red wine, you'll never die. You'll live forever.

We purchased the larger Millennium Skillet and have been so pleased with it because the bottom of the pan is HEAVY, so its not prone to warping, especially on our glass-top stove. When we received the these smaller skillets they looked nothing like the Millennium skillet we are using, the bottom does not have the heavy base and they just felt like they would warp the first time and appeared cheaply made. If you are expecting a smaller version of Millennium heavy bottom skillet, these are not for you. Using Amazon's no hassle return process, we've sent these back.

I gave these only two stars due to the flimsiness of the pans they are NOT the old heavy-duty Farberware. One fell to the floor about a five foot drop and dented in the side. I mean a large dent, enough so my existing glass cover would no longer fit on it. I simply took a pair of pliers and bent the side back out that's how cheaply these are made now. I decided to keep them, as they do clean up easily and I already had two glass lids that would fit them, which was the reason for my purchase. These two pans were to replace my heavy old LNT 8 and 9 1/2" pans, from which the teflon finish had finally disappeared after many years of service. However, I don't see these two pans being worth $30, especially if you have a family and plan on giving these a lot of use, which does not apply in my case.

Two-pack makes this an excellent buy! Smaller is just perfect for scrambling a few eggs, or preparing foods for 1-person meals. Very easy to keep clean,. and a very attractive color. Non-stick surface is excellent. Handles are very comfortable, and do not get hot. They are also nice and long to keep your hands away from the heat.

We purchased 2 of these, yes they are tiny as petite indicates and we still bought them knowing they would be small and we are happy with them. What I am not happy about is the information under Product Details section: product dimensions says: 6.8 x 4.2 x 1.2 and the product weight says an amazing 7 pounds! Obviously this info is not correct but I am here to give the real info:

They are 6.25" (6 1/4") long including the littles handles, they are a scant 4" at the middle of dish only and they are a whopping (just joking) 0.75 (yes 3/4") deep or should I say shallow.

They do not weigh 7 lbs but they do weigh approx 8 ounces. The tail end of the description does accurately state these as being 6 oz capacity. So 4 stars instead of 5 is because of faulty/inaccurate dimensions and weight info in the product description; misleading really.

These are perfect to hold herb infused olive oil for dipping bread, making single serve creme brule, and it is possible to make very small portions of individual potatoes au gratin if you dice the potatoes really tiny and do not add too much cream because it will boil over the shallow sides.

They are what they are so do not expect big things out of a really petite au gratin dish but there is no arguing that these in Cherry Red are gorgeous little baubles for your kitchen and the 4 for 3 promo is outstanding for quality stoneware like Le Creuset which are thick and durable and can go in the oven and microwave. These are really small so you may have to first place them on a baking sheet before placing in oven as they may sit crooked if your oven rack has widely spaced lines like mine.

I do recommend them for beauty and limited function, if you do not mind that and have a few extra dollars but they are not necessary by any means but they are extremely cute.

... purchased two dishes after reading the recommendation in "America's Test Kitchen, Cooking for Two 2010".

Honest reviews on Le Creuset Stoneware Petite Au Gratin Dish

These are really small! I bought one due to the 4-for-3 promotion so it was free as far as I am concerned. I have used it once so far to make my girlfriend a small appetizer of macaroni and cheese. It came out really nice and was amazingly easy to clean easy despite the encrusted cheese off of one of the sides. It is beautiful looking and my g/f finds it amazingly cute. So I highly recommend buying this if you like really small sides for one person. I am not sure exactly how many ounces this actually fits but I believe it is about 6 oz. I think the best use may be for small experimental baked goods done in a toaster oven (I couldn't imagine heating up an oven for less than at least 6 of these).

Best Ecolution Pure Intentions Stainless Steel 2-Quart Saucepan Deals

Customer Ratings:

I live alone so the size of this saucepan for steaming rice and making small soup portions is a good match to my lifestyle. Another advantage is that it matches the dimensions of the small burners on my glass top range, which reduces the energy consumption when I am preparing meals for myself.

One thing I particularly love is the way the pan evenly distributes heat when you are cooking. Some cookware I have used in the past either unevenly heats, or heats too quickly or slowly. This one responds to burner heat settings and changes in those settings in a graduated manner. For example, when I go from high to simmer, the liquid in the pan will go from boil to simmer reasonably quickly. Another feature I love is the small vent grommet in the glass lids, which relieves pressure build-up and prevents spillover that pans with non-vented tops are prone to cause at higher heat settings. And, finally, the glass top is a feature that I have grown to depend upon since it allows me to see at a glance the state of whatever I happen to be cooking or steaming in the pan.

With respect to construction the saucepan is well made in that the lid fits tightly and perfectly. This is unlike other inexpensive stainless cookware that I have purchased in the past where the construction is so flimsy that the only way to seat the lid is to slightly distort the pan! Not so in this case, which greatly adds to the value to me. I am fairly sure the construction is 20 gauge 18/8 stainless steel (I have long since discarded the packaging, but I own other medium weight cookware of the same construction that is marked as such.)

Cleaning is easy and I use a dishwasher, which has not caused any discoloration or the finish. In fact, I have had mine for over a year and use it at least three times a week and it looks brand new. I do cook on a glass top range and I never use maximum heat settings for over a few minutes. My typical use is to bring liquids to a boil before allowing them to simmer mainly for steaming rice.

Overall this saucepan is of reasonable quality at a very good price point. Mine has given me a solid year of service and is an integral part of my primary cookware.

I bought this pan purely for the price, but I was surprised by the quality. It works just as well as more expensive versions of the same product, and it cooks just as well as a non-stick pan. I've been phasing out teflon because of the chemicals, and this was a nice addition to my busy kitchen.

These are excellent potsthe nonstick surface is an improvement over regular old Teflon and they're heavy and spread the heat well. Gotta love the splendid red color, too!

I find these cook a bit slow, but that's a good thing; I haven't managed to overcook and mangle a single thing in these pots. The heat spreads well and stays consistent, I haven't had any "cold spot" problems. They're also a snap to clean, I like an OXO Nylon bristle dish scrubber. Nothing sticks and pots almost wash themselves.

I wish they made a 12 inch skillet; but this is a perfect starter set and easier to use than a lot of fancy pots are.

Very Highly Recomended!

I needed a small sauce pan with a nonstick surface for Malt-O-Meal and cream of potatoe soup. I was tired of the the difficulty in cleaning my regular pans when the stuff gets burnt to the bottom. It was not easy to find a small sauce pan with a non-stick surface. It works great is extremely easy to clean. A little bit more pricey than a typical pan but worth it.

Review of Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 12" Stir Fry & Cover

This is a great wok. I own Calphalon nonstick cookware, knives and am very happy with the brand. I saw this wok on Amazon and bought it to replace a brand-nameless nonstick wok that I bought on a whim at a discount store. Despite what a prior reviewer said, I found this wok to be of good quality. The lid has a substantially thicker rim and is heavier than the glass/metal lids on my Calphalon nonstick set. The wok itself is not too heavy (which is why I bought it) and is big enough to make a meal for 4-6. I found it heated well and I was able to cook on a gas burner just-under-medium heat and my wok heated quickly and cooked the food quickly as well. I generally don't put too much heat under my woks (unless the recipe requires it)as I would under my other stainless steel pots as the wok always seems to cook very well with little heat. So I had no problem with hot handles as my burner was not that high. When I was done cooking, I left the remaining food in the wok as I ate dinner and the food did not stick to the sides as I have had happen with other woks. It was easy to clean with a non-scratch sponge hours after I had finished cooking.

Its been a week since I started using this pan and I absolutely love it! This was my first transition from non-stick to stainless steel, and so I was very uncertain about how the experience would be, whether stuff would stick and I'd have to use a lot of oil. However, its been much easier than I expected. From the get go, I followed other users' suggestion to heat the pan thoroughly before adding oil or any other ingredient, and it has worked very well for me. I've cooked all our family meals for the past week in this pan and its been great! Highly recommend it.

It is a well-designed and sturdy wok. I have gone through several nonstick woks by T-Fal and Calphalon. I have destroyed them all using them at high heat. This Calphalon pan is very sturdy and handles the high heat. However, even with preheating the pan before putting in the oil, I find that the food still sticks to the bottom of the pan. I think that like other stainless steel pans, it doesn't distribute the heat as well as aluminum pans or even a traditional carbon steel wok. Also, it came with a nice sturdy glass lid. I wish the lid had came with a hole to release the steam.

I am satisfied with it though. It is easy to clean. I would not recommend washing it in the dishwasher--it will scratch the outside surface of the pan.

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $90.00
Sale Price: $76.49
Today's Bonus: 15% Off

If you are looking for good quality, affordable cookware, I highly recommend Calphalon Contemporary for the following reasons:

1. No teflon or aluminum in contact with the food

2. Lids fit perfectly. Lids on regular Calphalon and other cookware we looked at were loose fitting, wobbly.

3. Easy to clean with soap and water. Certain foods will leave some discoloration which is easily removed using "Barkeepers friend".

4. "China" is not stamped anywhere on the Contemporary. This meant a lot to us. All other cookware we looked at including the standard Calphalon had "Made in China" stamped on the bottom. We don't like anything made in China, but as most everything is, at least we don't have to be reminded of it every time we use our Calphalon Contemporary. Judging by the perfect weight, design, and quality of the Contemporary cookware, it's hard to believe it's made in China.

We have purchased our Calphalon Contemporary cookware piece by piece so as to have only the cookware we typically use with nothing wasting space in the cupboard. We currently have seven pieces in our collection not including lids. The Calphalon Contemporary cookware is well worth the added cost over the regular Calphalon cookware. Hope this review helps.

Honest reviews on Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 1-1/2-Quart Saucepan with Glass Lid

I bought the Calphalon because I have a Gaggenau ceramic-top stove and my Revereware took FOREVER to heat on its elements. (The copper bottom wasn't flat enough, and wound up reflecting instead of absorbing the heat.) The Calphalon is almost too good--we're having to relearn how to cook on this stove, because the pan is so heat absorptive and retentive it's easy to overcook our food. We can use a much lower temperature, and take the food off the burner much sooner. I'm sure our lowered electricity bill this year will more than make up for the cost of these pans.

We have a set of Calphalon pans and just wanted another small saucepan. I found the exact same pan on Amazon for $20 less than the manufacturer's site or any store I compared. A major store was having a 20% off sale, but they had jacked the manufacturer's price up $10, so it still came out to quite a bit more than this seller's price.

The pan arrived very nicely packed well protected and was obviously new and in great condition. An excellent deal for an otherwise expensive pan!

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

I make sure I do not put a lot of pressure on the handle when using it. It chops the ice fast and the storage bin holds enought ice for my family of 4 to get a snow cone each in large to medium size cup. We do not use the snow cone holders. I would recommend this product for any one who would like to enjoy a snow cone every so often, but not for any comercial use.

Honest reviews on Waring Pro SCM100 Professional Snow Cone Maker

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

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

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

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

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

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