Expensive at $80 but one usually gets what you pay for...the problem? Appears that the wire grids are thinly coated with plastic; once that flakes off (took about 45 days of use) then the metal is exposed and then its Rust City. Very surprised because we've owned several of this manufacturer's products over the years without problems. Their newer drainers have different wire covering material so perhaps the problem is now corrected assuming you get a newer model.

The design is great, especially with the flip-up expandability. The dishes stand up perfectly in the rack, and we like the utensil holder. At first we didn't think too much of the knife-block cover, but it actually works very well to help the knives dry faster (and more safely). I would have given a five-star rating, except for the poor quality control. One of the hinges for the flip-up section was bent, hindering the movement of the shelf. A plastic cover had to be removed to bend it back into shape. The nice part of having to do this was that I got to test the quality of the welds. I've seen too many spot-welds break when adjacent pieces had to be bent, but the welds on this unit are very high quality. The other negative was that the wine glass hanger (which we don't use anyway) is unusable because poor alignment when the plastic holder was molded onto the stainless wire. Again, a very nice design, but manufacturing quality is pretty bad.

We've had this dishrack for a little under 2 years and while it is the right design and size for our needs, the build quality of the plastic and rubber hole seals just isn't up to par.

The plastic area that holds the drain spout is now cracking and the rubber hole seals are now yellow and hard.

This is likely why they offer replacement drain boards for $20.

I definitely recommend spending your money elsewhere as this dish rack is not a good value when you consider cost and longevity of the product.

Honest reviews on simplehuman Flip-Top Dishrack with Bamboo Knife Block, Stainless

I got this recently, after moving to an apartment without a dishwasher. So far, I love it.

A few people here have asked why there are 3 hinges. This is why:

There is a drain on two sides of the plastic base. You can use one on the long side of the rack, as shown in the picture, or on the short side of the rack (next to the cutlery/knife holder). The bottom of the plastic base has legs on three corners (the hinges). These come folded up into the base. There is no leg in the corner between the two drains.

The legs on the bottom of the draining base are meant to tilt the base (and rack) so that it drains more easily. It's designed for only two to be used at one time: if you're using the drain on the long side, you fold out the two legs on the opposite long side. If you're using the drain on the short side, you fold out the two legs on the opposite short side. Either way, the whole thing is slightly tilted so that the side with the drain is lower and water will flow down to the sink instead of gathering on the base. That's why there's no leg on the corner in between the two drains: it's not about raising the whole rack, it's about tilting it.

By the way, this is one of the things that sold me on this rack. The plastic base for my last rack had a slight built-in tilt, but not enough for the water to drain well. I agree with somebody's comment about directions, though. It's funny to think of a dish rack needing them, but a picture could easily clarify the purpose of the legs. We bought this at a store that specialized in these sorts of things, so an employee told us about its various features.

Although the most expensive dish rack I have purchased, well worth the price. Had I purchased this 2 years ago, overall I would have saved money as I have thrown away so many inferior racks (mold and rust after very little time). Plenty of space available. The flip up shelf is great. A huge plus is the knife block. The ability to change the direction has opened up counter space. Because of the orientation we only use 2 of the cup "prongs". The only con is that it doesn't always drain without a little manipulation, but I think it has more to do with my counter not being level than the construction and design of the dish rack.

Highly recommended!!!

This is a well-balanced, serrated, steak knife with a wooden handle. It is quite substantial meaning very heavy. The wooden handles are not sealed so I would suggest washing these by hand and oiling the handles until they season. They slice well and are perfect for the larger cuts of meat. I think these knives were heavier than I anticipated but in terms of length, in line with other steak knives on the market. They are definitely worth what was charged. I am giving them 4 stars because they are a bit on the too heavy side, but that is really my taste. This is where on-line shopping is a disadvantage as I have never seen these knives anywhere else so there was no way of knowing how they felt in hand.

I am not a big fan of the All Clad LTD line but I do love this pan. I much prefer the All Clad polished stainless steel line (I have almost every piece and love it). This grill is a perfect size for grilling for 1-4 people. I debated on the grande size, I decided that since I don't grill everyday it didn't make sense to spend the extra money and deal with storing the larger size. Also, I selected the round style over the square, my stove burners are round so I figured that the round style made more sense for me.

I often marinade chicken tenders in Emeril Lagasse's marinade (he has several different marinades that you can find in your local supermarket) a day in advance and heat up this pan and toss on the chicken. I usually make a veggie or two and some rice, it is a very quick and easy dinner and is also very healthy! You can also use this pan for everything from burgers to a tuna steak.

This pan is not dishwasher safe due to the nonstick surface, but don't worry it is a breeze to clean. I have the George Foreman grill that has been sitting in the cabinet collecting dust since I bought this pan. I don't like the George Foreman grill because you can't really wash the grill surface very well. The grill surface should be removable so you can really clean it. This pan is very, very well made and is backed by a lifetime warranty. Sometimes this pan is sold as a special..., if you see it grab it. It is a steal at that price. Once you try All Clad you will be hooked too! Highly recommended! A+!

I've been using grill pans for years and have bought many brands. This is the best one, hands-down. I gave away all five of the others I owned after the first time I used this pan. I love All Clad cookware in general and this is my first non-stick. The results are so superior to any other grill pan I recommend it to everyone. If you want healthy and perfectly prepared grilled food, whether it's fish, meat or vegetables, without a drop of added fat, this pan is for you. Buy it.

Best Deals for All-Clad 3012 Hard Anodized Aluminum Nonstick 12-Inch Round Grille

I'm a big fan of All-Clad and have a lot of All-Clad LTD and MasterChef pots and pans. I feel All-Clad has a great design methodology and makes great quality gear. Also, their non-stick coating is the best in the business. This grill pan, however, isn't actually clad the secret of its low price. It's made from a single piece of anodized aluminum like a Calphalon pan as a brief examination of the edge reveals. The beefy handle is the most All-Clad thing about it. The nonstick coating isn't the usual All-Clad type either although it certainly is top quality. As a grill pan, this one is very good that's not the problem.

Grill pans make grill marks on your food but are no substitute for actually grilling. There's no smoke flavor or high heat caramelization. The only thing the grill pan gives you is the sear marks. To that end, the nonstick surface fights you. Metal gives much better sear marks than nonstick coatings. In order to get a nonstick pan to give good sear you must really crank the heat up. This makes a lot of smoke which make a good lid a necessity. Sadly, this pan doesn't include a lid. I found that the Calphalon 12" "Everyday" pan's lid is a perfect fit by coincidence so I use it every time.

I have the luxury of a grill outside my kitchen door. I'm the kind of hardy soul who has no problem stepping out in the snow in shirtsleeves to flip the steaks. I find all grill pans to be a very poor substitute to actually grilling. Maybe if I lived in the city and couldn't grill as easily I'd be more enamored of this pan. As it is, I mainly use it under duress (such as during bad rain storms when I reluctantly must grill indoors).

Honest reviews on All-Clad 3012 Hard Anodized Aluminum Nonstick 12-Inch Round Grille

I recently tossed a Calphalon grill pan in the trash after I could not clean it after use. Looking for another grill pan to replace it, I found this gem. I don't know how Amamzon can offer this high quality pan for this price, but grab it. Wonderful heat distribution, very large cook surface and NOTHING sticks!!

I could not believe that I found this pan at this price. I was further astounded when I received it and started cooking on it. It is absolutely fabulous. NY Strip streak comes out truly delicious when you simply sprinkle some salt and cracked pepper on it and then throw it on the grill pan. Also works great for bacon. Also works great for burgers. Also works great for...anything you could think of. For cleaning, I recommend immediately filling it with water after taking the food out, enough to cover all the bottom, and then let it sit til after dinner and you start doing the dishes. If you do this, then I recommend an OXO brush (ASIN B0000CFQOB) with nylon bristles. Gently brush between the grooves to loosen the remaining material and then use a sponge. I recommend the nylon brush because it is hard to get a sponge to get every bit of remaining material along the grooves. But overall this is incredibly easy to clean and even easier to cook on. I still cannot believe I paid only fifty for this item.

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.

Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Carving Knife Reviews

Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Carving Knife
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
List Price: $130.00
Sale Price: $99.95
Today's Bonus: 23% Off

As a longtime knife collector, I've amassed a large assortment of knives, including over 40 from the Wüsthof-Trident Classic line. I own a few carving sets and an electric carving knife, but this Wüsthof Classic 8-Inch Carving Knife is my old stand-by for carving roasted meats, poultry, and game. The reason I prefer this carving knife over all others is that it holds its sharpened edge beautifully, and it has the perfect heft and balance for my hand. For specialty carving and slicing needs, however, I do use my Classic knives with the Küllenschliff edges, such as the ham, salmon, and roast beef slicers. When carving, I pinion the roast on the carving board with my straight carving fork, then slice alongside it, and use the knife tip to carve around bones and lift off the carved meat slices. I've found that this carving knife is ideal for all general purpose carving. It's very easy to keep it well sharpened by using Washita Arkansas whetstones and honing oil or by using a Chef's Choice 3-Stage Diamond Hone Professional Sharpener. Before each use, I always hone it with a honing steel. I hand wash and dry it, as I do with all my Wüsthof knives, and keep it stored in a wooden block.

There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.

The Wusthof Classic line is the more conservative counterpart to the Grand Prix line. The only difference, however, is the handle style. I personally prefer the Grand Prix, but this is an issue of personal preference. The balance and grip of these knives are as close to perfect as I have found. For those wondering what benefits a higher priced knife provides, one benefit is that the blade (or tang) is one piece all the way through the handle. This makes the blade much stronger, and less likely to snap.

This particular model, the 8 inch carving knife, is a good knife, but I find its uses to be few. For chopping, the chef's knife or utility knife are more useful. This knife is too long and thin for chopping; its balance isn't right. Therefore, this knife is really limited to carving meats. For most cooks, this is an expensive knife for a rare job. If you are completing your collection, I recommend this knife. If you are starting a collection and looking for an all-purpose knife, I would recommend the 8 inch chef's knife or the 4 ½ inch utility knife.

Diamond Plus 11" Square Grill Pan Reviews

Diamond Plus 11' Square Grill Pan
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

Bought the Woll Diamond Plus set and added the grill pan to my order. I had preferred the assortment offered by Swiss Diamond but was scared off by too many negative reviews which included poor customer service. Woll was absolutely worth the extra cost as it looks like they will last forever. Getting great results with all types of food types that I have tried. The pans tolerate high heat well, show absolutely no sign of abrasion with metal utensils and the clean up is fast and easy. "Greenpan" ads demonstrate cleanup as just as easy on the cooking surface, but Woll has the same non-stick coating on the outside as on the inside and the pans are heavy enough that it doesn't feel you're cooking with a child's toy set. The bottoms have a flat, grooved and polished disk which is kinder to the pan and kinder to the burner rack than the diamond embedded cooking surface would be.

Very glad I got rid off every other pot and pan I collected over the years other than two high capacity stockpots.

I think the extra cost was equalled by the value of the product. Would have been wonderful had thee been available years ago. Would have saved me from investing in at least three inferior cooksets.

These are standard cheap coated teflon pans. A little disappointing for being Farberware. Two pans for 25 bucks, you get what you pay for. They'll do the job and for the price you can't miss. After a couple of years they will wear out like similar pans. But don't think you're getting top of the line cookware. The first egg I cooked in the 8.5 stuck slightly. The teflon finish was rougher than I expected. I have other cheap teflon coated pans that have a smoother finish and they are better than these. Also, the angle of the edge is not conducive to flipping fried eggs. I would not buy these again, I don't recommend them, but they will serve their purpose.

It is so very hard to find decent pans to cook with these days. Most are made cheaply and stick or burn everything. Not these pans. these are high quality pans. I bought these pans to try first after buying a whole set of other brand pans from somewhere else that was a disaster. These pans are heavy and made of superior materials. The nonstick finish says it is metal safe and it really is. I've never had pans with this type of nonstick in them and I absolutely love them. No more scratches on my good pans from the kids using the wrong utensils to cook with.

They are also oven safe to 500 degrees. Which makes these pans very versatile. I will be looking for a complete set of this line. Well worth every penny and as with all of my other Farberware purchases will last a long time. I have a roasting pan that I use almost every day for just about everything.I bought it in 1987. Now a days pans don't last 6 months let alone 26years! After the last fiasco with other pans I'm sticking with Farberware.

Honest reviews on Farberware Millennium Stainless Steel Tulip Series 8-1/2

They weren't listed as seconds, but the handle of one pan looked like it had been scraped up and recoated, and there were rough burs on the end of the handle. Yes, the pan will work fine. But it's not attractive. The other pan handle was fine.

The angle at which the handle is attached to the pan is tight. not enough to seal things out, but too narrow to easily clean. It is rivetted against the pan, then curves up and out. The part where it goes up, before it bends out, is where it goes up against the pan but not quite. I anticipate this will turn gross in time.

Also, the shape is not idea. Instead of a curve from the base up the walls, it is flat, then slants up. This makes it not great for flipping something with a flick of the wrist. Loose things will be tossed fine, but if you are flipping something like a crispy scallion pancake, it's not a great shape.

I bought this item to give me more cabinet space. I liked the idea of having a small display shelf since I was removing a picture and replacing it with this pot rack. It arrived in good condition. I bought a 1/2 inch drill bit needed for the Snaptoggler assembly. As soon as I drilled those holes, I was worried the pot rack would not go up and I would have to patch 2 big holes. Well, my first attempts did not work, the snaptoggles broke, and Enclume does not include any extras. I had to call the company for replacement parts. The customer service lady was NOT nice, she was condescending. So 10 days later, I received replacement parts and they were not the right parts. She sent me parts for another pot rack. Yes they were the same letter on the diagram, but my letter referred to the Snaptoggler. So I had to call back and she was rude again. I finally got the right parts after 3 weeks, and could take the picture down that was covering up the 1/2 inch holes. I was worried about using the togglers again, because they are made of flimsy plastic. These ones went in fine and I could anchor the shelf to the wall. It only took like 15 minutes to accomplish, and was easy.

Helpful advice that I can offer is to make sure that you completely scoop out any insulation or debris behind your wall after drilling the 1/2 inch holes. This really does ensure the togglers adhere properly to the drywall. I used my fingers and a screw driver to clear behind my wall. The togglers inserted fine and were strong. It is now a nice addition to my small kitchen.

Really awesome pizza cutter. Some complained about it not fitting in a drawer, but if it did fit in a drawer it wouldn't be big enough to cut the pizza's I bought it to cut in the first place. I have it stored on a lazy susan, if you don't have a lazy susan, try hanging it on the wall like some ancient weapon, if nothing else it will definitely catch peoples eye.

It should have a cover or hole drilled for hanging but otherwise is great! My husband drilled a hole so that it could be hung on the wall.

This pizza cutter works by rocking it from one end to the next. It is long enough to cut medium to large pizzas. Its length and sturdy construction allows enough pressure to be applied that it is effective on hard crust from microwaved grocery store frozen pizza. It is also useful for cutting subs, sandwiches and hard-crusted bread. It cleans fine when placed on the top rack of the dishwasher.
