I wanted a tea pot for my occasional cup of tea. It is so tiny, it looks almost miniature. Works fine and I'll keep, but glad I'm not trying to boil water for a crowd.

This teakettle is the perfect size. I measured about 8 eight ounce cups of water in it, so it could offer enough hot water for 4 or 5 cups of tea. It is smaller than the usual teakettles, which looked monstrous to me. I really enjoy seeing my little teakettle on the stove. It's attractive and doesn't take up too much space. The bottom measures about 6 inches across.

The Blender works very well, 95% of the time my smoothies come out with out small chunks of ice floating in them. This is a big step in the right direction compared to my old one. The food processor works but could be better, the grater is the only disappointment because cheese gets caught between the rim of the lid and chute, but the cutting blades work very well. This blender is not as loud as a similar kitchen aid set up. My blender jar hasn't broke in half like another user, This is probably because I paid attention in middle school science class and am aware that pouring boiling water into cool glass will crack glass, armed with this knowledge I will not perform that action. Also the product is not advertised as a tea kettle.

For the price this is a good product if you want better you have to spend more.

When I tried to use the blender as a jack-stand while changing a flat tire on my car the glass broke, what a piece of junk.

Update: It is February 2011 now and nothing has broken. I don't use the grater on soft cheeses (ex: Munster; Havarti) and this is it's only weakness that we have come across. Every other function has been satisfactory. I'll let you know if it breaks.

I bought this for myself for Christmas. Why this one? Honestly, I really needed a new one to replace the great $3 Braun I had gotten from a yard salethe bowl was cracked and no replacement parts are available anymore. So $39 for a 10-cup, sure! WOW! Where should I start...

1. the bottom has suction cups; not helpful at all.

2. doesn't Black & Decker deal in power tools? Yeah, it was that loud!

3. The wide-mouth feature includes a regular sized chute but it doesn't come apart

4. where the chute meets the lid is a tiny area perfect for food to get into but it's so small the only thing I could use to get the food out was a knife so when cleaning it, you cant get into that area and remember the smaller chute that doesn't come apart? Well, can't clean that either

5. There is one blade for shredding and slicing. (One side for shreddingflip it over for slicing.) So even though you may be using the shredder, you also have to clean out the slicer.

In summaryI couldn't get it back in the box fast enough. Luckily, I didn't throw away my Braun, just in case...I'd rather have to cover the crack in my quiet, old Braun any day than use this food processor. A man definitely designed this, no question!

My partner bought this to combine two appliances into one and because he wanted a larger processor that does more (until he bought it, we only had a little Oskar processor). Anyway, I wanted to grate cheese without grating my knuckles, so I pulled out the processor. I used half a "brick" of cheddar, and I thought everything went well. When I stopped after the few seconds it took to grate the cheese, I noticed there was a bit of cheese left over that hadn't been grated, and also saw that the blade was wobbling. What had happened was the disc stem had snapped! The disc stem acts as an adapter between the motor's spindle to allow you to attach the grating/slicing blade. I've ordered a replacement part (the shipping is more than the part!), but I'm very displeased. The motor is certainly powerful enough, but if breaks the next time around, B&D will get quite a sharp letter for an under-engineered product. Fortunately, the chopping blade works great. Only time will tell...not something I like thinking about regarding a kitchen appliance.

Honest reviews on Black & Decker Food Processor & Blender, Wide Mouth Combo

We purchased the black and decker Wide mouth Food Processor with Chopper at Canadian Tire. We looked at several and though

Well black and decker is a good name so why not?

At first I was pretty excited about this as it does chop and shred wonderfully but

then alas a few quirks ..

1. there are little nooks and crannies in the cover that you have to actually get a knife out to clean the food particles out.

2. I had the same problem with the disk stem, mine broke so I can use the slicer but the part that holds the shredder broke of so no shredding until I can find the part.

3. I find it hard to twist the cover off when I'm pureeing hot liquids it takes two hands to twist it off

I guess considering its only $60.00 I can't complain but not happy with the fact the stem broke off after only a few uses. And I like the first person will write a letter to Black and Decker

explaining a problem if when I get the replacement that breaks too.

I received this as a wedding gift, definitely glad I didn't pay for it. The blender portion worked fine for about 6 months until the engine started smelling like it was burning every time I used it. It's also about as loud as a lawn mower, though I didn't try to take it outside and see if it would cut the grass. The suction cups on the bottom are way more annoying than they are useful.

Unfortunately, I can't review the food processor because I could never actually get that portion to work. I'd snap on the bowl, and hear it *click* into the locked position, but noes goes when I tried to turn it on. I read the instructions, I investigated the bottom of the processor bowl, the top of my base...no idea why it was not working. I know what you're thinking: user error. But I am, in fact, a technically inclined, and rather intelligent person. Multiple people who are not my mother have said so. Using a food processor/blender combo should not be rocket science.

I continued to use it for a couple more months as just a blender despite the burning smell because, well, it's fun to see if things will catch on fire. However now I can no longer get the blender cup to lock into place. The connecting parts have worn down and no longer fit together. It is now a large useless appliance sitting in my garbage can. One star for being a functional blender for a limited amount of time, and one star for looking so pretty in my garbage. Sorry you wasted your money random friend/relative who came to my wedding!

This was a good idea and it does work as described. However, as other reviewers noted, BE CAREFUL when removing it. It's hot and bubbles over. Even if you carefully remove it with the handles, you cannot prevent the spill-over.

I guess if you had it on a low boil rather than a rolling boil, it may be ok. Still, it's worth the money and does what it's supposed to. Just be careful when removing!

The lids are all chipped which does tell me this is a poorly made product. I hate leaving a bad review and I love Lodge cast iron products. However, these are done very very poorly. I guess Lodge is getting like other companies, once they get popular, they start going down hill in quality and outsourcing to China. Oh also, not as described. These are rough cast iron and are NOT enamel.

UPDATE: I don't know what happen in regards to the items I originally received other than, I got duds that were not enameled, in the black color. However, after contacting Lodge, they sent me a set in the 'red' color and as described. I'm very pleased with them and they are very cute to boot.

I believe that once you use cast iron you won't use anything else. Lodge makes a great product and the color just makes it that much better. Just a note for some, even though these are small, they are still heavy , and you should use a firm grip or two hands while using.

I love this pot, I had been making do with a crummy cheap pot that I got at the store (in order to get a decent one you had to buy an entire set) I finally got sick of stuff burning on the bottom and it being hard to clean (even though it was non stick) so i sent for this pot. What a difference! Very good weight, even heating and easy cleaning. The only thing I would change would be to make the handles cooler to the touch if possible. Other than that, it's a great pot and plenty big enough to cook up a couple days worth of stew, etc.

I love this pan and the fact that it can be used for induction or regular cooktop cooking is super. I have an individual induction burner. This pan was just the right size for cooking small amounts and the strainer lid is great with the small and large holes on each side for draining. This also was a great value. Cannot go wrong buying this product.

This is an excellent pan and the drainage works perfectly. Yet the handle design is terrible and makes tipping it especially difficult if the pan is 2/3 or more filled. I even considered returning it but decided this would be too much trouble as I am strong enough to muscle it when I need to do so.

Best Deals for Infinite 2-qt. Saucepan with Lid

I ordered this product to replace a dishwasher-safe, non-stick pot with a straining lid we owned for a while. My main complaint is that the lid handle is not heat resistant (minus one star point). You'd think with a straining lid they would have given a little more thought to the fact that the lid will be used more than on other pots, so it should be heat resistant. I had to use a pot holder while handling the lid to strain the water out of it. While it is an attractive pot, the handle of the pot should also be larger in diameter for better comfort if you have larger hands or arthritis(minus one star point).

I purchased all the pans available, without purchasing the full set. This worked out for me. These pans heat very evenly on Nuwave PIC, though burner is only 1300 watts these pans spread heat to out side edge of pan. U can probably tell I love it!!

Wish I had this years ago. This pot is super. Like all cast iron cookware, it is hard to burn something (if you use medium or low heat) because the heat dissipates so evenly, it imparts a great flavor, is easy to clean, and keeps food warm long after removing from the heat.

You can brown, simmer, and bake all in the same pot. Here is an example.

Today I made a "pot pie casserole." I browned chicken pieces in olive oil, added cream of chicken soup, frozen veggies, and simmered. Then I covered with Bisquick dough and baked to form a crust-all in the same pot.

I took it out of the oven, my wife joined me 20 minutes later (and the food was still piping hot), all in one pot. Then an easy clean up, heat on the flame, turn off, spray with cooking, and it is ready to go for next time.

Great flavor for making spaghetti sauce, etc.

Note: when you receive it, wash in dish water, heat, add and brush with cooking oil (olive, canola, etc) and let get real hot over medium heat for three minutes. Turn off and it is "seasoned." Clean with hot water alone (when you can), put on heat, when good and hot, turn off and spray with cooking spray or oil. This is the original "no stick" cookware!

As most others, I think this is a great pan and I cook a lot. But the reason I can't give it 5 stars is also stated by another reviewer. If you saute anything with gas heat at more than low, and who doesn't?, the sides of the pan scorch. I'll live with that because it's a great pan but it does take away a bit from the enjoyment.

Initially I thought the 16-inch pan would be too small. You end up with 5-6 servings (prepare to be amazed at how fast people come back for seconds). But it ends up being perfect for my grill a slightly bigger pan would fit, but I wouldn't be able to close the grill, don't forget to account for the handles.

Like any thin pan, don't heat it up without anything it, or you'll make it lopsided. The plastic/rubber coating on the handles doesn't come off on the grill which is nice. A bigger pan would be a bit harder to hold on to as well. Make sure you order a good oven mitt.

This quickly became a favorite for our Sunday friends and family dinners, especially during the spring and summer months, when we can eat outdoors by the pool. The recipes are plentiful and adjustible to your families taste. I began with a 22 inch then bought the 14 inch, we always make both, the 22 inch "Paella de la Valencia" seafood and the 14 inch all meat, sausage and chicken for the non fish eaters.

I would recommend that a purchase of the 14, 18, 22 or 36 pan would be best, Why those sizes you ask? Well, Weber kettle comes in those sizes, the pan fits right on top of the appropriate grill (you do need an airgap between the pan and lip of the grill or it will snuff your heat) and anyone can cook this amazing dish to your own taste, in a method as close to tradition as possible (without a fire on the ground) in your own backyard. Oh yea the red handle means HOT, someone else recommended good grill gloves and I second that. I use welding gloves, but I already had them. I also wrap the handle with a kitchen towel or washcloth while it is on the table to remind our guests that the handle is HOT also.

The only other things needed to make this dish properly is Spanish "Bomba" rice, saffron and a long (20"+ recommended)spatula. I have not seen these items cheaper than Amazon anywhere else I shop near home, you're gonna want to make this stuff pretty quick after you get your pan so may as well order it now.

Have fun

Best Deals for La Paella Carbon Steel Paella Pan

Bought this after getting tired of cooking paella in a stainless steel frying pan could never create the "socarrat" aka crusty layer of rice at the bottom, and this pan really allows you to do so. Researched different materials and this one seemed to be the most recommended. It's quite wide my first time using it I had leftover paella for days! So keep in mind that if you don't have large burners on your stove, you might be using two side-by-side to cook the paella. Because the pan spread across two burners on my stove, the key was to keep moving it so that no two spots became "hot spots" and to ensure the rice cooked evenly. I am hoping this is a pan I keep for years so far it's seemed perfect.

The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the instructions it came with said to simmer the pan with a dash of white vinegar before the first use to get the film/coating off the surface. I did so then washed and dried it, and it left the pan looking dull and slightly worn even though it was brand new. Not that it takes away from its functionality, it just won't look new and shiny any more.
