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!

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.

This pan was defective so I returned it, thank you Amazon for paying the postage. The first time I used the pan I oiled it, but noticed that my piece of paper towel turned black. I washed the pan again, oiled it again, more black. I discovered that the lengthwise seam along the raised section of the bottom of the pan was open I could catch it with my fingernail, and the black was coming from this seam. Later I stopped by Macy's and looked at the same pan and discovered the same open seam. It looks like Cuisinart is selling a defective item on a large scale.

The pan looked great and is nice and heavy; however, exactly like another reviewer said, there is an unsealed seam in the bottom of the pan that gives off black stuff even after multiple washings. I was very disappointed. HOWEVER, Amazon was GREAT very fast shipping, plus they paid return shipping because the item was defective.

Being a bachelor, I wanted a smaller than full-size roasting pan. This seemed to do the trick. Amazon's description included the sentence:

"The secret is in the base where 18/10 stainless steel and pure aluminum are encapsulated to ensure fast and even heating."

Amazon made the same error describing its own house brand, Pinzon. Upon calling Cuisinart and speaking to a delightful customer service rep, I learned that this pan is 100% stainless. That translates into 'buckling' and 'hot spots' when deglazing on the stove-top for gravy.

This pan probably deserves a higher rating, but only if you are willing to put up with what 100% stainless is capable of.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart 7117-14 Chef's Classic Stainless 14-Inch Lasagna Pan

I currently own two Cuisinart Chef's Classic items: this lasagna pan, and the multi-purpose pot. I just ordered the 12" everyday pan, and am looking forward to receiving it. I may get a sauce pan at some point, but I'm trying to keep my kitchen stocked as minimally as possible so I'll have to wait and see about that.

I haven't had the quality issues that others have experienced. No black marks, discoloration, or gaps in seams. This pan has been very functional and durable. It cleans up well. It looks nice on the table. The sides are high, which is great for lasanga. It's a good value for the money. At one time, I would have purchased All-Clad cookware, but now that I own Cuisinart, I'm throughly content with what I have (and at a fraction of the cost).

This is a good value, IMHO.

Use nylon or silicone utensils so as not to mar the finish (no metal). I've become very partial to Trudeau utensils, which can also be purchased at Amazon.

Review of Handy Gourmet JB6502 Red Cool Touch Micro Bowl, Red

Customer Ratings:

I have one of these for my office and literally use it 3 times a week. You are not supposed to microwave your food in the plastic/ tupperware storage things (for health reasons) and I found it wasteful to dump leftovers or soup into a paper bowl to use once and toss. I leave mine and wash mine at the office, so I don't generally use the lid. However, I found out hubby was microwaving his food in the tupperware! A big no no. I bought him this immediately and he loved it. Minor problemhe actually takes his food to work in this (no place to wash dishes at his office) so the lid was a must have. His came with one of the 3 plastic "hooks" broken off. So it's not as secure as it should be. Just a minor quality control issue. No huge issue for uswe just switched and I gave him my lidbut worth mentioning as I try to create honest and accurate reviews.

Overall, I am very pleased with the product. It heats up well and cleans easily. The plastic portion means I can easily and safely handle my dish right out of the microwave. Everyone who heats up leftovers at work and wastes paper goods or heats up the plastic should switch to this product. Well worth it.

This is THE best microwave bowl I have ever come across. The white bowl is glass so there is no worry of heating food in plastic containers. The red bowl does not get hot in the microwave so you are able to remove your food without oven mitts. The lid is made of a very good durable substance that does not wilt from the heat of the microwave like other plastic tops. I place the lid over my bowl when cooking, I don't lock it in place until I'm ready to store it in the refrigerator. It works beautifully. My food is hot in the white bowl and I can easily transfer the bowl from the kitchen to the table because the red bowl is cool. This would make a very excellent gift. I think I'm going to get a couple more just for me...soup in one, veggies in another, something like that. I highly recommend this Gourmet Microwave Cool Touch Bowl.

We haven't used them long but so far work great. The outer bowl gets warm but not hot so easy to handle. I love the handles. The one for the thumb is very helpfull & the smaller one is a big help to remove it from the microwave. The lids work great. We just leave it up side down since we don't need to lock them into place. I bought three & one did come with a lid tab broke but since I don't use it I'll keep it as is. Had the tab not been broke I'd have given it 5 stars. I have used the bowl for ice cream & it helps keep it cold just as it helps keep hot foods warm longer.

This saucepan is great when you're making a big batch of something, but beware that it's quite heavy and can be unwieldy when it's full of food. I really enjoy cooking with it, but when I want to pour things out I wish I had paid the slightly higher price for the one with the loop across from the handle so that I'd have more leverage.

This 4 quart saucepan is really a must! Perfect for a pound of pasta, boiling veggies, a small batch of sauce, the list is endless. It is also great if you don't feel like pulling out a stock pot or if you are trying to save space on your stove. I love All Clad in general but this one is one of the best. The handle is perfect, the lid is great, it is just an all around great pan and super easy to clean. All Clad quality can't be beat. Once you try one piece you will be hooked too (that is if you are not already :). All Clad offers a lifetime warranty and each piece is superb quality and very well made. There is nothing like top quality stainless steel.

Cleaning Tip: If you should get something stuck to the stainless steel use a product called "Bar Keepers Friend" to clean it. Most supermarkets have it and Kitchen Etc. and Bed, Bath and Beyond carry it too. The container (like a Comet can) is gold with blue and white writing. All Clad recommends it for cleaning stainless steel and it works like a dream and is very inexpensive.

Highly recommended! A+++!

Best Deals for All-Clad Stainless 4-Quart Saucepan

This is a must have pot for any cooking enthusiast that is planning on owning All-Clad's stainless line. The size is versatile, large enough to boil pasta, small enough to make sauces or puddings. I just purchased mine and love it. It cooks evenly and washes up nicely and it's beautiful to look at. I don't think this size comes in any of the sets. You must buy it separately. This comes with a lid already and has a nice grip handle that is easy to hold with one hand, while you are stirring or cooking in the pot. I prefer this one to the 4-quart pot with the two handles as this one is easier to manage at times, when stirring, etc. or when you need your other hand, as I find sometimes in a busy kitchen. If you're thinking of buying a few items of All-Clad, (since they are pricey), this is a must.

Honest reviews on All-Clad Stainless 4-Quart Saucepan

This 4 quart pot is one of the two pots I use the most (along with the 2 quart). It is a true workhorse. It's perfect for pasta, especially spaghetti, for up to about 4 adults.

One important note: buy the one with the loop! It's worth the extra money. As another commentator mentioned, this pot gets very heavy when full. My aunt pointed out that older people, or smaller women, might have trouble with this. Trying to lift and pour this pot can be quite a workout. I wish I had the one with the loop opposite the handle. (Better yet, I wish I had 2 loops instead of the handle. That one is called the 4 Quart Casserole.)

Like all All-Clad products, this pan is an exceptional product. The heat transfers evenly and it's great for candy making. Unfortunately, the handle is quite uncomfortable and pouring contents is incredibly difficult and uncomfortable. The handle is grooved and not substantial enough for the weight of the pan.

For those who care, the pot is made in US, lid in China.

Warning: these bowls can't be put in the microwave and they can't be put in the dishwasher. The description does not mention this "minor" detail, but a small insert inside the box does. Who wants to hand-wash a mixing bowl? And who wants to move leftovers out of the storage container into something else in order to microwave it?

Maybe I should have assumed all of this because the bowls are partly made of steel, but so many items these days are microwave-safe even though they have metal in them. It never occurred to me that something made by Corelle could make my kitchen work MORE complicated.

Beyond that the bowls look fine, and they are supposedly scratch resistant, but they just "feel" like the color will start chipping off soon. And the lids aren't as tight as you might expect. They do fit, but I wouldn't want to tip one upside down.

The bowls make a nice set. They look nice, are very light, and stack nicely together. They are not dishwasher safe, which isn't mentioned in the write-up but I knew that from reading the reviews. I got this set to match my new set of Corelle Simple Lines plates and bowls.

The set arrived quickly, and the only thing worth mentioning is that three of the six bowls had tiny, round flaws in the white exterior (two inside the bowl, and one outside the bowl). Not a terribly big deal, but these were brand new, out-of-the-box and I don't think they should have been shipped. And since the spots are black, they stand out VERY clearly against the white bowl.

Unfortunately, the bowls got washed, stacked, and put away, and I forgot to return them quickly. At this point I'll probably just keep them. The bowls work fine and aren't too expensive, but the flaws are disappointing. So I'm not unhappy, but I'm definately not excited about the set.

I bought these bowls about 6 weeks ago and have used them less than that amount of time and I already have a spot on one of the bowls where the enamel has cracked and begun rusting. I'm extremely disappointed with this, as I am about the quality of the "Simple Lines" dinnerware collection which is what I bought the bowls to compliment. 10/12 I've had these bowls for about 6 months now and the lids have begun cracking as well. Total junk.

These bowls are nice and match my sketch and simple lines plates. I bought them to put out the food for BBQ outside so ppl could serve themselves and them close the bowl but it didn't really worked how I thought. They're much smaller than I've imagined. But stil they are classy, look resistant and it doesn't look to me that they'll chip or anything.

It's a cool bowl to after serving on the table to go directly to the fridge. The ony bad party is that you can't microwave, but then it's always better to take out only the amount you're gonna eat.

Oster Cocinando Covered Caldera Review

Customer Ratings:

I am enjoying using this caldera, I love the color and the non-stick surface! I also like the fact that the lid has a small steam release in it, so that I don't have to leave the lid at an angle to release steam. My only complaints were 1; it would be easier to use if there was a handle with a protective grabbing surface. I am constantly stirring my ingredients and saute' items in this pot before adding more, it's a pain to have to use a pot holder with this. That was no surprise, though, the item's photo clearly shows that the handles are uncovered and small. The surprise that I *did* get was the label. It took me hours to remove it! Even with oil based remover I had to treat it, then tear off a small piece, then treat it then tear off a small piece. It was a sticky/laminated mess! A simple paper label would have been much easier to remove (or a gummy-backed inside-the-pot paper with information on it). A silly complaint, in some ways, but a big time-waster to me.

The pot and lid, though, have been great and I love the color! I am going back to look for a slightly larger size now, I like to make enough food so that my husband can take the leftovers to work with him for a day or two and this isn't quite large enough for that + the family's meal.

I love my kettle. I bought it back in December and have been using it 3-4 times a day. It's nothing fancy mind you, but it gets the job done.

Really a good price and a well built kettle...HOWEVER, the handle is not well designed. You may have to tighten the phillips head screw occasionally. Don't overfill. (A fill line is imprinted on the outside.) The whistle is loud, the quality is good. BUT watch that handle.

NOTE: Having used this kettle for 5 months, my impression of it improves. Solid and (with the caveat about the handle) durable. One of those products where 'Made In China' exceeds expectations. I'd buy it again!

Honest reviews on Gibson Mr Coffee Whistling 2-Quart Tea Kettle

I had been using an electric water warmer I had inherited from a former room mate but it seemed to reduce the heat applied to the water as soon as it reached the boiling point. I decided it would be better to have one I can put on the oven burner and keep it as hot as I like, and not have to worry about what a thermostat wants to do. I bought this tea kettle off the shelf while shopping at my local supermarket, thinking it would do and I liked the idea of having a whistle to indicate the water was ready. I was saddened to find that it never actually attained a whistle because so much steam was escaping around the fill hole lid on the top center portion, which happens to be also right where you need to put your hand in order to pick it up, a rather scary thought. So, I am contemplating returning it because I don't see myself wanting to ever use it, considering these less than desirable attributes.

As someone else said (and I should have listened), the design while very attractive, is not ergonomically comfortable to use. It's too tall for the way the handle and spout opener are designed. It's just not balanced properly.

The whistle is loud that's a plus and as I said, it is attractive, but since it's hard to use, I am probably sending it back.

I ordered this to replace a Bialetti stove-top maker. I have had it a couple of months and it is great. I saw some reviews about some machines within this price category being flimsy and unreliable. The Imusa is terrific. Easy to clean (Bialetti was awful!), and makes up to a quad in under 5 minutes. It is lightweight, but sturdy; and makes thick rich foam, even with skim milk. I am a former chef and have had some fancy machines that cost thousands of dollars in my kitchens, Imusa gets it done for me at home. I even went back and ordered a second as a gift.

Adding on to this review: If you haven't been using your old espresso/cappuccino maker because it isn't easy, or a pain to clean up, then this is the machine for you.

I'm going to start out stating I am no barista.

But I love coffee and simply don't like paying $4+ a cup and inconveniencing myself in the morning making an out-of-the-way, time-consuming stop during my commute.

That said, this is my first espresso machine. As with many things I don't know if I'll ever use again, I purchase the absolute cheapest low-end model, and if I like it, I research and splurge (or ask Santa.) I feel I really lucked out with this machine since it cost half of other machines I was looking at, and it works. I followed the directions (and a youtube) and with some trial and error (actually only the first try was really bad) I am able to make espresso mocha's in the morning for my wife and I.

I've gotten so good at it that I can make two cups with ~2 shots each, a squirt of chocolate syrup each, about 10oz steamed milk, and clean it all up in under 10 minutes.

Notes and experiences about this machine:

-When you first receive the machine, fill and drain the machine numerous times with hot water (by filling and turning the entire machine upside down.) Mine had a bunch of metallic flakes inside the steam chamber left over from manufacturing. These could definately clog the machine or worse, end up in your espresso.

-Use mildly fine grounds and tamp softly. I wasn't getting any crema until I used a burr grinder on a medium-fine setting. This machine has NO control over the brew group pressure, so the only way to control extraction is with the grounds and tamping pressure. I was using too fine of grounds for the first week or two and was getting weak extraction. If tamped too hard the grounds overheat and the extraction is bitter. Ideally each shot should take 20 seconds.

-The control dial has a "dead zone" where steam continues to come out, but the boiler is off. It is between OFF and LOW STEAM settings. This allows you to safely release pressure in the boiler chamber when you're finished. Never leave the machine sit with pressure in it. The instructions don't mention anything about this 'hidden' setting, but you will find it and use it every time you use the machine for one reason or another.

-Tamping the grounds is important. At first I used my fingers. Then a spoon. Finally I got a tamper. All of them were effective but a tamper makes me feel like a pro and its definately the fastest/easiest. 50mm is a good fit. Not perfect, but good enough; in reality its probably a 51mm or 52mm.

-Don't use the rubber guard for the frothing wand. It's hard to clean. Not just hard, impossible. Also, if not removed and cleaned after every use, it will for sure trap bacteria; it obviously needs to be removed to clean your frothing wand, which you want to clean while its hot so stuff doesn't cake on it, defeating the entire purpose of protecting you from burns since you need to deal with the hot wand, anyway. Just throw this thing away.

-Clean it while its HOT. I rinse and wipe everything right after a session. The steam wand, grounds cup and locking cup, the collection cup and the waste tray all rinse clean with no soap when they're hot. The steam wand takes about 10-15 seconds of wiping to get milk residue off; everything else takes a few seconds.

Honest reviews on IMUSA GAU-18200 Elecric Espresso / Cappuccino Maker with Milk

Especially for the money, this is a great little espresso machine! I've never had an electric espresso machine before. I have several manual espresso makers but no way to easily froth hot milk so I ordered this one. I received it yesterday and made a wonderful latte last night for the first time in my life! It's easy to use, looks cool and has a small footprint so it's great in a small space. (It did not say anywhere to remove the soft black plastic 'cover' on the steaming rod but I did...I don't want ANY plastic of any kind near my food, especially steaming hot plastic. I'm assuming you remove it else there's no way to clean the rod...) It's a perfect 'treat yourself' gift to yourself when you know you deserve it!

If anything goes awry, I'll certainly update this review but I feel good about it and it works just like I've seen my daughter's much more expensive coffe/espresso/cappuccino maker. I'd NEVER consume name brand commercial coffe store, overly sweetened and overly fat and chemical ladened products, and I cringe when I see so many people putting that inside their bodies, but if I were one of those people, this would pay for itself within a week! (Can you tell I'm a cancer survivor and that I want to keep it that way!)

The metal water basin contains lead. I recently purchased this espresso maker and at first really liked it as it does the job, and I made delicious decaf lattes with it. The plastic on the outside is number 5 which is considered generally safe, but I was unsure about the metal used on the inside. I recently bought some lead test kits and decided to test the metal on the inside of the opening where you pour the water in. I highly doubted that it would be positive, because who would put lead in a machine that makes beverages especially that part that holds the water you drink?!!! But, because I am pregnant, I decided to check it just in case. Anyhow the test turned red which means it has a dangerous level of LEAD! I am so angry that they have this product on the market. Not only did they put lead in my body and my babies body, they are poisoning everybody who uses it. I already drank 3 lattes using this machine before my lead tests arrived in the mail.

While expensive, the pans are almost worth the price. They are truly non stick, very well made and if they are not toxic, then they are worth the price. The pan is sturdy, yet manageable, and the right size for making pots of chili, stew or homemade soups. The Swiss Diamond pans (of which I have 5) are quite easy to use and can be used on gas, electric or induction. I hope to one day switch to induction as it is much more efficient and responsive than electric or gas so I have to be careful what new pans I buy and it is very difficult to find non-stick induction ready cookware. Swiss Diamond has solved my problem. Any new pans I buy will be Swiss Diamond.

One afternoon I was watching Rachel Ray peddle her wares on qvc and her square pan caught my eye. I thought it cost a little more than I wanted to spend on a product that I was just trying out, so I came to Amazon and ordered this loaf pan instead! I'm not a serious cook/baker, but I definitely do more than my share of homemade meals. In the last month that I've owned this, I've made everything from banana and cornbread bread to cheesy casserole to pot roast to brownies in this pan and they all came out great! (Ok, in full disclosure the roast WAS a lil bit dry...) I've also used this pan as a serving dish it's wonderful for keeping breads warm!!

I live at a fairly high altitude and cooking in metal or glass (or even oven-safe latex) is always a challenge. I also have limited storage space, so I have to be *very* careful with whatever ceramics I have in my kitchen. I use ceramics from bargain basement Ikea to Emile Henry, and RR stoneware has cooked the most evenly and has cleaned up the absolute BEST out of everything. It also doesn't take up much cabinet space and is safe (when lined) to stack cups and small kitchen knick knacks inside.

While I really love this baker, the only drawbacks to this stoneware are: obviously it's breakable, the handles are VERY small (can't fit fingers through a pot older... BUT the curved edges make this easier to hold), and during the first use these is a paint/chemical smell (as with many new products these days). Also these are made in China (NOT the US, not Europe, etc.), so be warned if that is a deal breaker for you.

Here is the information that I consider vital when choosing a new product like this, and which is often omitted by both Amazon and reviewers. Will the dimensions match what I have been using, or not? The exact inside dimensions at the curve are 2-5/8" X 9-1/8". This is your maximum fill level. The lower edge of the holes are higher than the curve at 2-9/16". The bottom measured just at where the sides flatten out is 8-5/8" X 4-3/4".

As for volume this pan is almost exactly 1/2 cup less than my old loaf pan when water starts over that curve. Botton line, I can live with it. If it were 3" at the curve and holes it would have been a 5 star Pan.

I wasn't pleased with the finished product from my bread machine so I thought I would try my luck making bread the old fashioned way. This is a great loaf pan. My bread came out better than ever before. I have also used it for lots of things, not just for bread. If this ever cracks, I would definitely buy another one.

Affordable, sturdy, and durable. Nonstick seems to work very well; I can slide an egg around while it's cooking, and cleanup is a breeze. They are indeed dishwasher safe, just be careful not to put them from a hot stove to a sink of cold water and they should last a good while.

Exactly what I expected. Great product for the price. They last about a year before I replace them due to scratches on the non stick coating.
