It works and is quiet. Boils water quickly. Having said that it is not the best kettle I have ever owned.Just not a quality product.The lid is ill fitting and leaks water when pouring. Filling the kettle is awkward because I have to hold the lid open, it will not stay open on it's own. The water level indicator is only on one side so if you are holding it in your left hand to fill you cannot see it.The heating elements are exposed.Just poorly thought out and designed

Oneida Gourmet Pro Hard Anodized Saute Pan Review

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this pan because I already owned the 8 inch pan and loved it. So easy to clean and you don't need to use a lot of oil or butter to saute because nothing sticks to this pan. It is also not very heavy so it is easy to handle and the cushioned handle makes it a pleasure to use. I cook a all the time and this pan is a must have in my collection of cookware.

After going through many teflon coated pans (my kids NEVER would take proper care of them, throwing them in the sink with forks and knives on top, storing them with other pots in them), I broke down and tried this one.

WOW! Very non-stick, and very durable!

I saw some reviews that said it was not very non-stick. My works great! I cook eggs every day, without any problems whatsoever. I would recommend a light "curing" (heat with some oil in it) before your first use.

I purchased this pan and kept it for about a month, having used it two times. The first time (I used it both times for a fried egg) if carefully placed on a gas burner, was okay. The nonstick surface worked well. The second time I used it the handle being so much heavier than the pan tipped over when the pan is not exactly centered on the gas burner. I actually find it hard to believe that this pan was ever actually used in a kitchen before being manufactured. It is totally off-balanced. The handle is much too heavy for the light weight pan. Or as my husband concluded, the pan is much too light for the handle! In any event, I did return it to BB&Y. And I might addno questions asked.

Honest reviews on Oneida Gourmet Pro Hard Anodized Saute Pan

I cook a lot, and I'm happy with the pan (weight, handle, cost).

Only con is the base of the pan is a touch smaller than it should be, resulting, on my stove top, the pan sitting at an angle if not positioned 'just so.'

This pan is indeed very useful, especially when you cook small portions for kids.

Non stick and easy to clean.

Can be used in the oven up to 400F degrees.

But (the reason for 3 and not 5 stars) it is hand wash only...

I got two of these gadgets as a "free" gift with something else I bought. I was optimistic about it actually. It would be nice to be able to free up my hands in the kitchen sometimes.

But it doesn't work like that. They buzz and hop around, and fortunately, I tested it in cool water away from the cooktop first. Because it would have splashed hot liquid all over the place, and then it fell over, into the "food" (which the instructions say, you should then throw the food away, due to concerns of contamination from the batteries, lead solder or whatever electronic waste is all up in there.

Nice idea, but it doesn't work, and could pose a real hazard if it were being used to stir anything flammable, like oil for example.

I am a gadget guru and when I saw the Robo Stir I couldn't wait to get one. BAD MISTAKE! First, I ordered from Robo Stir and ended up paying $72 for 4 of these things. They trick you when you order online with them. I ordered 2 then they ask if you want to "upgrade" to the 3 speed Robo and when you say "yes" you have then ordered 4 of these "things". Upon checking out, they do NOT let you review your order, then all of a sudden WHAM your order goes through and you have 4 of them ordered at the unheard price of $72.00!

I don't even give these things "1" star but there is no way to rate it a "0" star. They are cheaply made and do not work! I've been cooking for 47 years so don't tell me I don't know how to work it. I have almost every kitchen gadget imagineable. I would have gotten better use of my $72.00 if I had rolled it up and used the money as a match to light my grill.

Having read many other reviews I feel blessed that I was able to get 3 uses out of it. However, once it dies, it dies. Battery replacement does not help.

I love All-Clad and had wanted a double boiler set with a ceramic (not stainless) insert. This arrived quickly and in pristine condition ... carefully packaged, complete with a cloth cover for the pan. I've used it once to make custard. Turned out great BUT I realize the ceramic insert does such a good job of keeping the heat down, that it took me longer to make than I'm used to (took longer to thicken as ceramic doesn't get as hot as steel).

Having said that, this is a great buy and I'm so glad I found it. Will do wonders for ensuring I don't ruin sauces by overheating.

Love it. Well worth the purchase.

Pro: high quality and manufactured in USA. Very happy with performance of porcelain boiler; little water loss during double boiling at med-high temp.

I had another double boiler before this, but got an induction cooktop and that one was incompatible. This is excellent quality. It actually takes longer to cook the custard I think because the thick porcelain is providing such protection.

Honest reviews on All-Clad 42025 Stainless Steel 3-Ply Bonded Dishwasher Safe 2-Quart

I've been wanting a double boiler for quite some time and finally took the plungeI'm not disappointed. The piece is in beautiful condition and came carefully packaged. The wall of the stainless steel base and the porcelain insert are both very thickeven the lid is heavy! The handles are solid and riveted to the body of the panvery solid construction.

I was hemming and hawing over the price ($180 for the porcelain double boiler vs. $50 for an average stainless steel double boiler) but I'm really glad I invested in the porcelain. I use it mostly for ganache bases and custards. It does take a lot longer to melt chocolate in this than a regular pan or even a glass bowl set in boiling water (which is what I used to do) but it's gentler and gives you better results. The risk of over heating and curdling custard is also lower because everything is slowed down a bit thanks to the insulation value of the porcelain.

Even though this is a great product and cheaper than the $255 Williams-Sonoma advertises for the same product, consider the use value carefully. If you're only needing a double boiler once or twice a year, you may be better off sticking to the old "glass-bowl-in-a-pan-of-boiling-water" method.

I really wish that people would not leave comments on cookware that they have had for less than a year. Of course when it's new, it's great. However, please note that the reviewers who have had theirs for more than a year are telling you it DOES scratch easily. This is a very expensive set for nonstick. I took very good care of mine because it was so expensive, I always handwashed my cookware and did not abuse it. But it still scratched after 3 months. Fortunately the company that I bought it from stood behind it and took it back, because Swiss Diamond's warranty is awful! Look at some of these reviews and you'll see that people who had to deal with the company are saying that Swiss Diamond keeps claiming "abuse". How convenient and shady of the company. The nonstick was great and it cooked nicely, but when mine scratched, I contacted the company and was given, in an email, "this warranty does not cover stains, discoloration, scratch marks, or dents". HUH??? What DOES it cover then? And once a pan is scratched it's ruined. So since it scratched so easily and the company does not stand behind their warranty, I decided to return the entire set rather than get stuck with a $500 set that will be just like any other nonstick set within a few years. Don't listen to reviewers who have only had theirs a short while look at the reviewers who have had theirs for awhile or have had to deal with the company. They are all saying the same thing it DOES scratch, get pits, and stains and the company does not stand behind it.

We spent a lot of money ($150) on the 12-inch sautee pan which is advertised as "virtally indestructable". We have been very careful with the pan. We don't use metal utensils, put it in the dishwasher, or use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. The non-stick coating is pitting, flaking and coming off after only eight months.

The company told me that we could send it back (at our expense) and someone at the company would examine the pan and decide if they would repair the pan, give us a replacement or return the pan as is.

We are planning to return the pan, but we aren't too hopeful.

Having recently read quite a few reviews of other companies' non-stick cookware, it seems that this is a common problem. Caveat emptor!

I bought a Swiss Diamond Cookware Set about five years ago and some of the pans that I use daily are really starting to show "wear and tear." I contacted their Customer Service Department who seemed VERY interested in helping me decide whether some of the set needed replacement. I was asked to send pictures online and full documentation on when I bought them etc. etc. I responded immediately with what they asked for!

THEN, NO RESPONSE! I even sent an email to the person who originally contacted me...NO REPLY!

This cookware is VERY EXPENSIVE! I do NOT recommend it because NO ONE FROM THE COMPANY answered my questions regarding whether it was SAFE TO USE IN REGARD TO WEAR!

Honest reviews on Swiss Diamond 10 Piece Set: Ultimate Kitchen Kit

I've been bragging to everyone about how lovely this 8.5 qt. stock pot is because clean up is a cinch and the non-stick quality is superior. Recently, after cleaning the pan I noticed a scratch that revealed the silver-colored metal underneath the non-stick surface as well as several other aggravated areas on the rim. I couldn't imagine how that happened. After examining its glass lid, I noticed the metal band that goes around the circumference of it (and comes in contact with the pot's rim) joins together and creates an unconnected, albeit close, seam. When I touched it, it felt sharp. Ah-hah! This must be what caused the damage. It seemed logical to me. The representative from Swiss Diamond looked at it and claimed it was caused by a metal utensil being banged against the rim. User error. Needless to say I'm disappointed. I don't recall banging a metal utensil against the rim. It seems obvious to me that, as absurd as it may sound in theory, practically speaking, the pan damaged itself. I sure hope the damage doesn't spread. The other thing I've noticed is some of the non-stick surface on the bottom is pilling. I'm bummed out. I feel angry, but I can't fight "city hall". I just hope this isn't the beginning of further degradation of the pan I love so much.

I've been cooking for 50 years and have tried them all. This is the best line of cookware ever. It has all the right features: can be used in the oven, proper balance, excellent conductivity, totally flat bottoms, great non-stick (both inside and outside), the handles stay cool, just the right weight. However, don't believe the claim that you can use metal utensils. They can be scratched if you don't use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils. Treat them with care and they'll be your favorite cookware.

I am pretty particular about coffee. I like to gind my own beans and have never used a perc coffee pot in the past. But we were having a huge family gathering and I needed a lot of coffee.

I ordered this Party Perk machine and when it came in I almost returned it because it seemed so flimsy, but I figured I'd give it a chance.

I'm glad I did. All the information I read on the Internet about coffee said that perc'd coffee is not very good because the water is boiled and constantly recirculated through the grounds and this does not equate to how to achieve the best tasting coffee.

Well, while this was not the BEST coffee I have ever had, the coffee was none-the-less very good. I used Berkley and Jensen ground coffee (available at BJ's Wholesale club)and I could not have been more pleased with the results from this Party Perk. I used a little more than 2-1/2 cups of ground coffee for the full 42 cups and the information I read about expecting the pot to brew the coffee at one cup per minute seemed pretty accurate.

There were a lot of compliments on how good the coffee tasted. It did not taste burned, even after being kept warmed in the pot for a few hours.

I cannot comment on the durability of the machine as I haven't had it that long. My parents saw this pot and remarked that they had the same one for many many years before they gave it away and never had the first bit of trouble with it.

I needed two coffee urns for a large gathering and found two that seemed to fit my needs the West Bend and the Hamilton Beach 40515 42-Cup Coffee Urn, Silver. I decided to purchase one of each.

The Hamilton Beach blows the West Bend out of the water. It is much larger and better built.

Though they both are advertised as 42-cup, the Hamilton has a 10.5 liter capacity, while the West Bend only has a 7 liter capacity. That's 3.5 liters more (1.5x larger) than the West Bend that's a huge difference!

And finally, the West Bend just feels really cheap and flimsy. The Hamilton feels much more sturdy.

Hamilton wins this one hands down.

We got this coffee maker to replace our thirty year old 20 cup maker. After 2 months of constant use, it's still going strong. Unlike most people, we use this as our main coffee maker. It take us about 2 days to empty it. My husband fills his thermos when going to work and I still have coffee left over for the day.

The coffee maker makes a decent cup of coffee. Our only problem was we had 4 large cans of coffee in the cupboard that we could no longer use. We wound up wrapping them for Christmas presents. This coffee maker uses a courser ground coffee than the ADC makers. Luckily our grocery store has whole beans that you can grind to your specs.

My husband says he only wishes that it would come with a timer. I mentioned to him that this is normally used at a social function. We solved the problem with a timer that plugs into the outlet that we plug the maker into.

Eventually when this one goes out, we'll buy another one like this. The size and style fits well on our counter under the cupboard. It takes about 40-45 mins for a full pot to brew.

I received four of these lovely dishes as a Christmas gift this year. They are really not large enough to use as serving pieces, except for some small side dishes perhaps. But I wanted them to use as dining vessels for stir-fry, salads, etc., and they are perfect for that! I have two of the blue and two of the red ones, and they are beautiful. The handles seem to be quite fragile, so some extra care may be needed for these pieces. My friend told me that the first shipment she received from amazon contained two dishes with broken handles. However, amazon cheerfully replaced them in plenty of time for Christmas. I know I am going to really enjoy these wok dishes!
