We went to Disneyland and ever since the kids want everything in the shape of Mickey Mouse :-) We've used this a lot. We use it on sandwiches, with eggs and pancakes. My four-year-old son actually ate some egg because he loved eating it in this shape :-) I wish it would not be so sticky sometimes. I spray it with pam and it still sticks. It's not a huge problem though because I keep a butter knife handy and cut around the edges. I've learned to make sure the pan is very hot before I pour the egg or pancake batter so it doesn't ooze out of the mold. We love it! I would give it a five star if it wasn't for the sticking issue. We'd buy it again.

Best Disney's Mickey Mouse Egg Ring Deals
I am pleased with this Mickey Mouse egg ring. I use it for pancakes too and even use it to cut out a Mickey Mouse shape in my toddler's nutella & bread sandwiches (just rock product back & forth to get it to cut through the bread). My only complaint that has nothing to do with the actual product is that I could have probably gotten a better deal if I planned out my shopping better. Product only costs $4.95 through the Disney store (my egg ring came with the Disney store price tag still attached to it which lead me to look it up online to see if that was the real price since I had no clue). If you're planning to buy other Disney items, it might be worth it to research buying directly through them when they're having a good sale. I paid a little under $12 through amazon. Feel like I got a little ripped off and wish I had researched it more before buying so be sure to double check prices elsewhere!

Buy Anolon Ultra Clad Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $399.99
Sale Price: $338.41
Today's Bonus: 15% Off

These are made by Meyer Corp, who also makes Circulon, Faberware, KitchenAid, Silverstone and Bonjour products. All their brands are great. I you can get these pans for less than $300 than this is one of the best buys out there for Stainless steel cookware. Consumer reports rates this set very well. It retails for $399.99, which is much to high to pay, but amazon has them at a good $300. This set is tri-ply which means that it has 3 layers of metal. The center metal is aluminum which conducts heat better than other metals. They heat fast and uniformly, which makes it nice to cook anything on/in these. My set came with some minor cosmetic damage, whether due to shipping or manufacturing, but will not effect the performance of the cookware. These tend to be fingerprint magnets as well. Overall they are a great value for what you are getting. I would also recommend one good non-stick skillet for more delicate foods and when you don't want to cook with oils.
They clean up well and unlike the reviewer who said his stained easily they have not had any issues retaining color from anything cooked in them, or changing color. The handles are very sturdy and i can see these lasting a very long time under standard use. The handles are coated in s silicon rubber that stays cool/warm to the touch. They should be somewhat safer to use with utensils than their non-stick counterparts, but I've already put scratches in one of the sauce pans. On top of it all they are oven safe up to 400F in the oven and dishwasher safe as well. I will still clean mine by hand and use wooden or plastic utensils, just because I'm like that. The overall look is nice and they shine when clean and fingerprint free. I use mine on a gas range, but they say these work well on glass and induction based cooking tops as well. I really wanted to get an All-Clad set, but the price just ins;t justified for their product. This Anolon set has surpassed my expectations and I think that you'll enjoy cooking with it as much if not more than I do.
*I'll update my review with more as I continue to use this cookware.
The only issue is that this set can be bought much cheaper directly from the manufacturer.

I ordered this set using my frequent flyer miles. It is the nicest cookware set I've ever owned! My previous sets were non-stick, so it did take a little getting used to cooking with stainless steel (hot pan, cold oil; food won't stick). I've only been using it for about a month but they seem very durable. They are also very stylish! I'm very satisfied with the purchase.Best Deals for Anolon Ultra Clad Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set
I received this set yesterday, it's an excellent set of cookware. The pieces seem to be built in a very quality manner, and appear to be indestructible. I cooked a small meal, and can absolutely say that this set creates a very even distribution of heat and cooked everything very nicely.The only issue is that this set can be bought much cheaper directly from the manufacturer.

Consumer Reports rated Anolon better than All Clad and I have been wanting All Clad forever! I was excited to receive it. I have used all of it but the 8 quart stock pot and have been pleased. The pans did show some discoloring but with a green scrubby pad, I was able to get it all off with a little elbow grease. The weight is nice and I like the comfort handles. I have not tried putting them in the oven yet but will.Thursday, November 20, 2014
Onesource 8-Piece Deluxe Stainless Steel Measuring Cup Reviews
I agree with K. Lambert. For $9.95 this set is a steal definitely better than plastic but it's not without flaws. As shown in the photos I uploaded, there are brownish discolorations in all the cups, right where the handles were welded on. I tried scrubbing the stains but they wouldn't come off. I guess it's alright as long as it doesn't spread to the entire cup. The cups themselves aren't that thick and actually give a little bit when squeezed (but who would do that)? The cup handles, on the other hand, are quite sturdy and don't bend. I just hope they never come off since they're just attached onto the cups. The spoons are better, I think. I compared them with my old plastic spoon set and they hold the exact same amount of liquid. I have yet to try washing them in the dishwasher. I don't expect this set to last long but by the time they break I'll probably be ready for an upgrade. Product is made in India.
Original Post: For the price that Amazon is selling this set for it is a steal! I absolutely love that I was able to get stainless steel for less than most plastic sets. I received exactly what is pictured and described and am very happy with this. I don't think these are the highest quality stainless steel, but I am no expert. I have exactly what was pictured and described and no better. I am not able nor willing to pay a lot of money for a measuring cup and spoon set, and in exchange for the cheap price I know that I am not getting top of the line. I feel that for this set being made of metal and not plastic the price is wonderful and I am sure that this set will serve me for many years. My husband is type 1 diabetic and you cannot have enough measuring spoons and cups when you are cooking and trying to keep track of carbs. Hopefully these will be less likely to fall off the counter unnoticed for the dogs to grab than my old plastic set (I am missing measuring cups and spoons and have found many marred by little teeth). The only thing that is worrisome to me is how long the welds will hold up for on the measuring cups, the welds do seem sturdy so they may not even be a concern. I may order another set or three!

UPDATE 4-30-2013: I was right about the welds being weak, one came loose. Also, the one cup measuring cup has developed a rust ring around the outside bottom. The measuring spoons still look like they did the day I bought them. I have never had a recipe not turn out due to inaccurate measurements when using anything from this set. I have also not had anything negatively effect my husband's blood sugar when using these. I am still happy with this purchase.Original Post: For the price that Amazon is selling this set for it is a steal!

Do not buy, the edges of the measuring cups are super sharp, I wouldn't let my kids near them. The measurements are way offa US standard cup corresponds to 236 ml and these cups measure 250ml, it is the same for the half cup, 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup, useless for baking.

Emile Henry Oval Gratin Reviews
Once you get one without serious casting or glazing flaws, these are some of the best "baking dishes" I have worked with. The oval shape means that you don't have over-cooked corners and a cold middle. They clean up well and the variety of sizes means that your dish fits, rather than being spread too thin or overflowing.
However, in trying to get a "set" we went through probably half a dozen exchanges, as well as looking through all the stock that a local retailer had before we could find four of the five pieces we wanted.I like this 10 1/2" Emile Henry, it is just the right size for roasted side-dishes for 2 to 4 people. However, the 8 1/2" ones are rather small. They clean up nicely and look nice on the table as well.

Discount Lava Signature Round Enameled Cast-Iron Dutch Oven, 4-3/4-Quart
I got this pot in an amazing Cobalt Blue color (stunning). It's the time of the season for soups, stews and chili. It is large enough to make a generous serving. I made a vegetarian chili using this pot for Halloween, it was big enough to make enough for 12. It was also great because nothing stuck to the bottom and an easy clean up.
I use mostly All-Clad and this pot definitely held up to my standards. I would recommend this to all my friends and a great addition to anyone's collection of pots.

This was perfect for what I was looking for. I generally drink coffee out of a single serve kuerig but have started grinding my own coffee. This takes about 2 minutes to grind one cups worth of beans and that is all the storage tray will hold. I love the smell while as it grinds and my kids doing and seeing the results. If you are in a hurry, don't buy a hand crank grinder. Also, it looks great and is a conversation starter in the kitchen.
update: the handle metal wears out very quickly and needs repair get bent and you need to be careful still a great product for the low price. but if you plan on using this everyday I would invest in a higher quality grinder
After about a month, the handle gave at the connection to the burr shaft. The handle now rotates freely. An no, the burr was not too tight. It's poor quality materials.
Basically, save your money and invest in something that will last. If you're looking for an ornament, this will look good but that's all.

I guess you get what you pay for. I have used this coffee grinder for about a month and it has done the job reasonably well on a daily basis. However the metal is very cheap and basically fatigues over time. I have found that the pressure needed to grind coffee is fairly high and the metals used in this design are soft and not up to the job.After about a month, the handle gave at the connection to the burr shaft.

These pots and pans are excellent quality and weight. They are better than the photo. They are beautiful. Please note, however, that it is not mentioned, but these are are "waterless" cookware and compare to the famous "Salad Master" cooking sets that are sold in home demos for $3000. These are very healthy to cook in...great recipes and info online but be sure this is what you're looking for. I don't know why they don't mention it in the title and descriptions.

Cheap Corning Vision Visions Amber 1.5 L Saucepan with Lid
I love Corning Visions cookware because it is very versatile. It can be used in all of the places in your kitchen you don't need to keep using extra dishes. They can be use on the stove top, in the oven, in the microwave, in the refrigerator or in the freezer. You can cook your meals in them and actually see them cooking in without having to open a lid to check. This is great because you can see all the way to the bottom to make sure the food is cooking evenly and not burning or scorching, etc..
And this cookware is so beautiful you can serve it in them, and then put any leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer right in the pot or pan!
This is because they are not just made out of glass, but a unique glass/ceramic mixture that is highly heat resistant. You can't do that with other glassware and you can't use metal pots in the microwave or oven.
Another awesome thing about them is that since they are glassware, you don't have to worry about metallic compounds leeching into your food like from metallic pots. Also, it never stains. And because it's glassware, it transmits the heat more efficiently, so you can cook at about 25 degrees less than you would in metal.
A neat and interesting fact: In the original commercial for Corning Visions, they took an aluminum saucepan and melted it in a Corning Visions Saucepan at over 1560 degrees F to show the incredible temperatures this cookware can withstand! Pretty awesome (though I wouldn't recommend trying this at home!) :)
Even though this glass is highly resistant to thermal shock, there exists a possibility that it can break or shatter if it is handled improperly. There are some simple things you can do to help make sure your Corning Visions last. Some of them are:
1). When you use a Visions pot/pan on the stove, make sure to place it
on the cold burner and turn on the burner don't put a cold
visions pot/pan on a hot burner. This allows the glass to expand
slowly as the burner heats-up instead of [too] rapidly.
2). When you use them in the oven, make sure you allow your oven to
preheat to the desired temperature first and then place it in the
oven. The reason for this is that the if you put the visions on
a rack that too close to the heating element, the potential for
thermal shock and damage to the glass exists.
3). When you take a Hot Visions pot/pan off of the stove or out of the
oven, place it on a dry towel or pot holders avoid placing it
directly on a cold surface like cold burners or the kitchen
counter this could cause the glass to contract too rapidly.
4). If you chip or crack a Visions item, you should not use it anymore.
A chip or crack is a weak spot and could break/expand when heated
and/or cooled.
** These are simple rules that make sense, and are not hard to follow. And once you get into these habits, it's completely second-nature.Why would anyone want to cook in a glass pot?!!!!! Got one as a gift years ago, put it on the gas with too little water in it, and it literally exploded into tiny shards that scattered all over me and the kitchen. I was fortunate not to have been scalded or injured by jagged glass chips. There was evidently not enough water in the pot to absorb the heat, and the glass expanded and shattered with a loud crack that scared the hell out of me! Do not use this line of "cookware" ! No serious cook would consider it. Google "Danger Vision Cookware", or "Exploding Vision Cookware"! You'll be afraid (and rightly so) to use this crap for anything more than to catch a drip from a leaky ceiling!

Discount Cupcake Courier 36-Cupcake Plastic Storage Container
I had to make cupcakes the minute I got this as a wedding gift thank you Amazon wedding registry!
I walked into a BBQ with it and people were in awe and couldn't wait to dig into the cupcakes. It was a very hot day, so I took the bottom layer and filled it with water and put it in the freezer by the time I was ready to go, I put the ice cube layer on the bottom and the top two tiers with my 24 cupcakes and the cupcakes stayed fresh and did not melt at the BBQ!!
The only "warning" I have is to make sure you have the base the right way up don't spend an hour thinking your cc carrier is broken, just flip the base the right way up (ha ha yes I am an idiot!!)
I had to take a bunch of cupcakes to school and was able to use this. The courier itself is big and bulky. If you have limited space you may want something different.
The cupcake holder is deep, I find it is a bit too deep if your cupcakes don't rise a lot and you have frosting all over it -you'll get a bit of frosting on your hands trying to get it out of the holder.
The holder is also pretty heavy for me so if you have to travel via walking, it may be too heavy and I found the handle not that comfortable. Short trips should be fine.
Overall, I really like this carrier and it received a ton of compliments from people. The removable trays are great for people like me who don't make a lot of cupcakes, but is great to carry cookies, cakes, pies, brownies, etc...Tall cakes are also possible due to the height. I would recommend this product for those who have the space and have to bring baked goods to different places.
use it for a full size cake carrier too! This product is of good quality and the latches are very secure so you don't have to worry
about it flying open and everything getting damaged. I highly recommend this product particularly for moms who provide cupcakes to a lot of school functions, it's a dream!!

This is a great cupcake carrier with good room for standard sized cupcakes even with lots of frosting or some decorations. I had read a previous review with concerns over losing the clips that hold it together but they seem to have changed that as my clips don't come off, they are attatched. It is very secure and I wasn't worried about dropping them or anything. Very pleased with this product!Honest reviews on Cupcake Courier 36-Cupcake Plastic Storage Container
I bought this over a year ago at Bed Bath & Beyond. It is the greatest carrier. The cupcake cavities are deep so the cupcakes do not move around when you move about. The tiers are nicely spaced so decorated cupcakes do not touch the bottom of the tier above it. The tiers can be removed and a regular tired cake can be placed inside and covered. The only fault I can find is with the clips that keep the cover down. Once attached, they perform well, but they can be removed and lost quite easily.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Cupcake Courier 36-Cupcake Plastic Storage Container

I cook for a living and my other serated knife needs replacing. I figured I'd give this Guy knife a whirl. It works amazing. A little light weight and short, but I knew that when I bought it. Good grip on the handle.

Not only is this thing mean looking, it's a great piece of cutlery. This is one of my favorite knives. Easy to cut meat, fruit or vegetables. I have zero complaints about this knife, and I get lots of compliments on how neat looking it is. Love it!!!Best Deals for Guy Fieri Knuckle Sandwich Utility Knife, 5-1/2-Inch Blade, Made of
Sharp, but too small for any normal kitchen tasks.You can slice a tomato, that's about it. Too small to slice a sandwich! The square butt of the knife digs into your palm and is VERY uncomfortable and not ergonomic whatsoever. Looks neat, that's about it. NOT recommended for anyone in the culinary industry.Honest reviews on Guy Fieri Knuckle Sandwich Utility Knife, 5-1/2-Inch Blade, Made of
I bought the Guy Fieri Knuckle Sandwich Dagger and Chef Knife Set by Ergo Chef 3 years ago and I've used the Knuckle Sandwich Dagger everyday since I very rarely use the Chef Knife. I cook a lot and I use this to chop up tons of all sorts of veggies and it's also great for slicing homemade bread.I have small hands and it fits them perfectly and the weight of the knife is perfect, too. It's by far the best knife I've ever owned. I love it so much I bought one for my Mom last Christmas and I'm here buying another as a house warming gift.

This sharpener is the best made. It matches my $700 wet honing equipment with ease. Follow the instructions and you will be very satisfied.Watch out for your fingers!
Other than that, it does exactly what it says and your knives will be RAZOR sharp. It really did make my Chef's knife, which already seemed sharp, exceptionally sharp. Same thing for my Wusthof steak knives. It is great to have these little knives slice through steak like hot butter, especially with all the abuse they get constantly cutting on people's plates.
It's a bit pricey, but worth it. After all, if you take care of your Wusthof's, you'll probably never have to buy another knife in your lifetime.

it restored the factory edge on our knifes and is very easy to use a lot better than our wusthof hand sharpenerBest Deals for Wusthof 3 Stage Electric Knife Sharpener
I really like this sharpener and would have given it 5 stars except for one thing... It is silly that the area in front of the slots where you drag the knife through are made of such a soft plastic. I know why it is soft and not made of metal and that is to preserve the sharp edge you just created on your knife. However, I just wish it were replaceable.Other than that, it does exactly what it says and your knives will be RAZOR sharp.

Honest reviews on Wusthof 3 Stage Electric Knife Sharpener
The Wusthof sharpener is easy to use, and the directions easy to follow. The result is a very sharp knife! However, our sharpener arrived with only three rubber feet and we had to put a towel under the other corner to keep it from wobbling during use. I emailed Wusthof customer service to order the missing foot, and about 10 days later got a generic reply back that "they were sorry to hear about problems with my knife", along with a detailed attachment specifying how to package, insure, and send my knife back to them. I then called customer service to tell them it was a sharpener issue (not a knife) and was told that they don't supply parts and that my only options were to package and ship the whole sharpener assembly back to either Wusthof or to Amazon. The missing rubber foot is at most a $0.50 cent part that simply pushes into place, and I think it ridiculous that their fix to this problem is a complicated and expensive re-packaging and shipment.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Wusthof 3 Stage Electric Knife Sharpener
Foolproof. Instructions are explicit and easy to follow. The "feel" of the proper stroke for each stage only takes a short time to acquire. Having the third stage be a stropping wheel is brilliant. Knives have never been sharper.Tuesday, May 13, 2014

These pots work great as a low pressure cooker and can be used as regular pots. The 9 qt pot can fit two whole chickens. The smaller pot is great for one pot everyday meals. The extra pressure really infuses the food with more flavor in the same amount of time. I sometimes use the smaller pot to make sauces. When you lift the lid, the flavor and smell of basil in a marinara sauce really comes through.
In general, meats take about half the time using the pressure top. I usually use it to make one pot dishes that get a lot of flavor from the pressure. I also like make a hearty soup that uses barley that cooks up beautifully and quickly using these pots. These heavy duty pans retain heat and also allow for some outstanding searing of meat if you are careful to watch the cooking process carefully. The really great part is that you can remove the lid by just popping the handles at any time while you are cooking. These pots can be used by novice cooks but really experienced cooks can really get a lot of use out of these pots.
The pots are heavy duty stainless steel and clean up with soaking and soap and water. I found just heating water with a few drops of dish soap loosens things very quickly. SOS takes up the reminder easily. You can use the pots for no pressure cooking by using the regular lid that comes with it but I use my non-stick pans when I don't need the pressure lid for two reasons: (1) these pans require more clean up than non-stick and (2) these are heavy, wide pots.
Once you get used to using these pots, you'll wonder how you did without them. The cooking time it saves, and the ease of use and wonderfully rich flavoring that can be infused into food in a short time make this a really worthwhile product at an extremely reasonable price.
So it is useless.
I have written two emails to this seller with no response.
I am beginning to this these guys are ripoff artists.
The terms to return the pot are ridiculous and include sending a check for return shipping of the unit if they decide it's not defective.
Bad out fit.
Amazon should have nothing to do with them.
The low pressure cooker comes up to pressure in about 1/3-1/2 the time of an electric high pressure cooker. And, I'm finding that, in my first tries, the food is cooking in about the same time. Also, there is no time needed to reduce the pressure at the end of cooking. So, the overall cook time is actually reduced.
I made a small pot of chili this evening. After browning onions and peppers and meat, I added the liquid ingredients and it came up to pressure in about two or three minutes. I let it cook for 10 minutes, which is the time I used on my electric high pressure cooker, and then removed it from the heat. Everything was well cooked and the meat was very tender. And, the flavor was infused nicely. I think I actually preferred it to the high pressure cooker chili because it was thicker, not watery like it would come out of the high pressure cooker. It seems like the low pressure cooks and infuses, but doesn't literally squeeze the water out of everything. I was totally amazed. And, my husband even commented that it tasted better. In fact, it had that full flavor that things like soups and stews have after they are cooked, and then reheated the next day. This product is amazing. I'll never go back to electric pressure cooking again.
The only negative is the total lack of any really informative literature with the product. I have been pressure cooking for enough years that I had the basic idea, and will just need to play around with some of my recipes and possibly adjust some times. I had also used a stove-top pressure cooker many years ago, so I was prepared to know how to adjust the temperature once it came up to pressure. If you have a glass top electric range, it will take some trial and error to determine what your "low" cooking setting should be, as there is a lag time between reducing the heat and the heating element response. You might want to play around with a pot of water so that you can test your settings, until you get the hang of it. For instance, I now know that when I reduce my heat setting, I can't go lower than #3 on my burner.
Even a diagram of some sort would have been helpful. So, pay attention to the position of the silicone seal when you remove it to clean it before your first use. I didn't pay attention and ended up putting it in upside down the first time because that looked like it made sense. Actually the side of the seal with the small lip goes against the underside of the top of the lid.
The only manufacturer contact information is by mail, through a post office box. I'd like to purchase an additional seal to have on hand, just in case this mystery company disappears. So, I guess I'll have to write to the post office box and try to get some more information. In this day and age of communication, this set-up seems to be quite archaic. It would have been much easier if, along with the fairly useless sheet of literature, they would have included some parts order information.
These pots are made of surgical stainless steel, and are stamped "waterless cooker" on the bottom. They are extremely high quality. So, at the end of the day, I am thoroughly pleased with these cookers.
Excellent weight, heavy bottom, well fitted tops. Just wish it was hard anodized. Fit and finish excellent, and got a great deal on it too.
This is at least twice as wide as my electric cook tops, recommend for gas ranges. All this cookware is made for BIG families !
This was packed well in it's own box, but doubled in the amazon box, it slid and broke one of the handles on the bigger pot.
I could see the inside of the latch mechanism, and it looks pretty well designed. Easy to trade the handles, 1 screw to attach, and self centering.
I live a mile high, so this will be good for keeping recepies standard, and keeping heat in.
Will try the warranty company before sending back to Amazon.
EDIT 1/2011
Never did hear back from the manufacturer about replacement handle. They did include a one piece flyer inside for replacement seals, to a US address.
This is NOT a full 15lb pressure setup, just good for cooking.
Still use regularly, but have switched over to hard anodized aluminum, because it is so hard to regulate temp in these dbl bottom pans.

Best Deals for Precise Heat Element Low Pressure, Pressure Cooker
I've been using electric pressure cookers for about 4 years. However, I've been through 4 cookers in that amount of time. The longest one lasted a little over a year. But I've had two models that didn't even last more than a week or so until their electric components failed. I liked pressure cooking because of the flavor infusion and the speed of cooking, but I didn't like having to constantly replace the pressure cookers, at prices that were well over $100. Then I found this set of Low Pressure Cookers.The low pressure cooker comes up to pressure in about 1/3-1/2 the time of an electric high pressure cooker.

Honest reviews on Precise Heat Element Low Pressure, Pressure Cooker
I recently bought the two low pressure cookers because I had bought one from HSN and wanted to order another. Guess what I got two for the price of 1 by buying them off of Amazon. This is great to make stews, and soups quickly, and you don't have to wait for the steam to stop to take off the top. You just need to turn down the heat, just wait a minute or two then take the top off to add ingredients or to check on the cooking.It's good when you need to make a lot of something and I can use two pots or just for two with the smaller one.I would highly recommend this item.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Precise Heat Element Low Pressure, Pressure Cooker
