The best tea kettle I've ever had! I read all the different reviews for all the different Brands of stainless tea kettles & decided to take a chance on this one. I use it several times a day, EVERY day so far, no rust! I love the seamless shape (no fused bottom to worry about leaks or other problems). The stainless lid fits nice & tight (no worry about popping off when tilting the kettle to pour) & fully removes for a nice wide opening for cleaning. The shape is clean & timeless. The whistle is loud enough to be heard in another part of the house. The handle is super comfortable, with a well-placed, easy-open mechanism for large or small or arthritic hands. It may get a little warm to the touch when the water boils, but certainly NOT hot or uncomfortable no potholder needed! My only negative comment is that my kettle arrived without any paperwork no shipping or return info from Amazon & no brochure or paperwork with care or warranty info from the manufacturer. After notifying both, I'm still without that info. But I DO love this kettle!

I bought this tea kettle elsewhere but I wanted to share my experience. I used this kettle daily. Steam came out of the spout and at the water lid (I couldn't get it too tight or I'd never get it off) thereby decreasing the power of the whistle, which ended up close to non-existent. The bottom had begun to rust inside and so I had 'floaters' that had nothing to do with my tea. I only had it for a couple of months so kudos to the Chinese manufacturers that have put together another fine product. It's in the garbage and I'm shopping for another kettle.

I love this steamer because it fits in All Clad sauce pans from 2 to 4 quarts. The other version with the long handle doesn't fit the 2-quart. I'm usually cooking for one or two, so the smaller capacity suits me.

Works beautifully. Easy to care for (dishwasher safe).

Okay, I admit I have an All-Clad fetish after spending a small fortune on my Copper Core set, and a stainless non-stick skillet. So naturally I had to have this steamer insert as well. It looks just beautiful with the All-Clad pots, pretty enough to serve from at the table with company, and it performs MARVELOUSLY! Not a bit of steam escapes from either the connection at the pan, or from the steamer's lid. The food steams fast and furious and wonderfully--much better than with the old collapsible type steamer I used with my former Calphalon.

I also like that the moment the food is done, I can toss directly into the steamer a little butter or oil and some salt, and mix it around with the veggies quickly and easily--which was NOT the case with the collapsible type steamers that had to be removed from the pan before anything could be done to them (usually burning at least one finger or thumb!)

It fits my Copper Core 1.5 quart and 2 quart saucepans the best. It does fit the larger 4 quart saucepan as well, though the connection between the pot and steamer is not perfect--almost, but it does not seat perfectly as with the smaller saucepans, which if fine as they are all you need even even when steaming a large batch of veggies or clams in this steamer.

Ahhh, I've reached steamer nirvana, at last...!

Highly recommend this piece of All-Clad for a splurge--you're worth it!

This steamer is not of the same quality as the USA manufactured All-Clad cookware. It is lighter in weight and the handles and lid are not as nicely constructed. You are mistaken if you think you are getting the real deal with this item! I am sending it back. The consumer ought to know what he/she is getting!

Honest reviews on All-Clad 59915 Stainless Steel All-Purpose Steamer with Lid

I was disappointed with this product because of the quantity of food that it accomodates. Steam holes do not cover the entire bottom of this steamer and food may scorch when not placed directly over the steam holes. Food can only be placed toward the bottom center of the steamer over the steam holes to prevent scorching. I have another stainless steamer that I prefer because steam holes cover the entire bottom of the steamer. However, this steamer is o.k. for steaming a smaller amount of food where all of the food fits over the steam holes in the center bottom of the steamer.

I spent a bit of time recently trying to get several inserts for my All-Clads pots, pans and stock pots. The information herein is to help people trying to get the right steamer or boiler insert for their All-Clad pots & pans.Here's what I found:

1. I DID NOT BUY the steamer which these reviews are supposed to be covering, namely the All-Clad Stainless All-Purpose Steamer with Lid. I didn't buy it because I wasn't sure it would fit my older All-Clad pans. The All-Clad Stainless All-Purpose Steamer with Lid is also known as All-Clad part # 8700800513 and is made to fit current 2, 3 and 4 quart All-Clad stainless sauce pans and casseroles. It is said to be 8 1/4 inches in diameter and 4 3/4 inches deep.

2. The item I DID BUY is a 3-quart steamer insert, All-Clad part # 8701004547, and it is available for US sixty dollars at many websites. It does not have a lid and does not have loop handles. It has a sauce pan styled handle and you use it with the lid that comes with your sauce pan. See All-Clad 3-qt. Stainless Steamer Insert.It fits 3 & 4-quart sauce pans in All-Clad's "Stainless" collection. These pans have an 8-inch inside diameter. It may not fit similarly sized pans in All-Clad's other collections!!!

3. The steamer insert I DID Buy is complemented by All-Clad's 3-quart (double) boiler insert part # 8701004490. It is not a steamer. It is a (double) boiler insert. See All-Clad Stainless 3-Quart Double-Boiler Insert. It does not have a lid and does not have loop handles. It has a sauce pan styled handle and you use it with the lid that comes with your sauce pan. It fits 3 & 4-quart sauce pans in All-Clad's "Stainless" collection. These pans have an 8-inch inside diameter. It may not fit similarly sized pans in All-Clad's other collections!!!

4. The holes in the bottom of either steamer insert mentioned above do not extend to the outer edge of the bottom of the insert. The holes only cover about 2/3's of the bottom, radiating out from the center. Some people have complained about "scorching" because of this.

5. All these steamer & boiler inserts are thinner than the corresponding saucepans they fit. This is not really a flaw, however, since they don't need to be so thick to function properly only as inserts.

6. All these inserts are made in China. As I understand it, all All-Clad tri-ply cookware currently is made in the U.S. Non-tri-ply items like all these inserts may be made elsewhere to save costs.

7. Another item to consider is All-Clad's small double boiler # 8400000266, described as a "stainless steel 2-quart sauce pan with porcelain double boiler." The insert is smaller than the 3-quart inserts mentioned above, is porcelain (not stainless) and is meant for smaller, finer sauces and such. It is not a steamer. It is a small double boiler. See All-Clad Stainless Steel 2 Qt. Sauce Pan With Porcelain Double Boiler.It is made in the U.S.

8. If you need detailed info on various All-Clad steamer, boiler or colander inserts also check out That site has detailed specs on the various choices that may be more accurate than Amazon's. Prices are the same.

I hope this is not too confusing, and will be helpful to someone.

Gourmet Settings Strand 20-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 4 Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $40.00
Sale Price: $29.99
Today's Bonus: 25% Off

I chose to purchase this flatware because the product features said they were "tarnish-resistant 18/10 stainless steel with mirror finishing". Nowhere in the packaging is this stated. The only makings on the flatware themselves state they ate 18/c which means it is 18% chrome.

I was led to believe the pieces were 18/10 which is 18% chrome and 10% nickel, the ideal makeup of a flatware set. I also saw that the mirror finish does not coat completely the area between the forks and the finish scratches very easily even though I wash them and dry them with a soft towel immediately after every use.

I purchased this set in April when I moved into a new apartment. It was reasonably priced and the pieces looked very sturdy and polished. When I received the product, I was very pleased. They look very elegant and have a nice weighty feel to them. These don't put the taste of metal in your mouth that you get with some of the cheaper sets of flatware. In addition, I can use the spoon to scoop ice cream without it bending. I love this flatware set and just ordered another from Amazon.com.

I was initially pleased upon receiving these sets of flatware (I ordered two).

Everything was very polished, which allows you to literally see yourself in each piece; just like a tiny mirror.

These are thicker and seem sturdier than my last set. They will require a much greater effort to bend than I'm sure many people like myself have experienced. Who hasn't hand a spoon bend all the way down when trying to get some ice cream?

If i had any complaints it would, at least for the moment be restricted to the knife. I know it's called a butter knife generally, and I think for once that's basically all this one can be used for. It is not serrated which causes it to be very ineffective when cutting much. Do not plan on using it for much of anything other than in application of something like butter or jam to bread.

Overall I am happy with the purchase. Although my wife is a little weird about it because they are slightly larger than our last set of flatware. I would personally recommend them to anyone in the market for this product type.

Happy Shopping,

Jess

Honest reviews on Gourmet Settings Strand 20-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 4

I bought two sets of these about 6 years ago and still have all but a few pieces of the original two sets. I bought them originally based on the awards they had received. I hate flatware that bends easily and most of the ones in this price range do...but not these! The weight is perfect and the design is simple, but can be dressed up easily.

I am going to buy another 20 pc set to replace my missing pieces and add to the number of settings I have. It has held up well, still shines, few scratches, but after 6 years, I would expect that.

I would highly recommend the Gourmet Settings flatware to anyone!!!

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Gourmet Settings Strand 20-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 4

I purchased two sets of these about a year ago when I got married (Spring 2011), and we've absolutely loved this flatware for a year. They're solid, feel great in the hand, and look great after coming out of the dishwasher (unless we don't pre-wash them, but that's an issue with our dishwasher, not the flatware). I particularly like the clean lines of the knife, as well as the fact that it's not serrated.

I purchased an additional set the other day (Spring 2012) to add to our existing pieces, and was very surprised when I opened the box. The knife curves a bit now, rather than being perfectly straight on the back! There are small differences in the other pieces as well, causing them to not nest nicely when stacked. I called Gourmet Settings Customer Service, and the woman I spoke with said that they had a redesign about six months ago. I call shenanigans. If they're going to redesign it, they shouldn't have given it the same name! As it is, I won't be keeping this new set. I'm supposed to email someone at Gourmet Settings to see if they have any old stock, and we'll see if they're able to help me. I'll update back here with the results after this whole thing is resolved.

Don't get me wrong, the new set is fantastic, and I still like it a lot. It has the same great weight and feel, and if I had 3-4 sets of this new design, I would be perfectly happy. The new and the old just don't match though, which is why I've deducted a star. Check user photos to see the difference, particularly between the knives.

**UPDATE** Customer service with Gourmet Settings finally got back to me and said they had changed manufacturers or something, so the dies had been remade, which is why there are slight differences. They were great about it (once they finally responded), and send me two "new" sets free of charge to replace the "old" ones I had, giving me three identical sets. Customer service was great (if a little slow), and I still recommend this flatware highly-great weight, and cleans up great in our (admittedly cheap) dishwasher. Don't hesitate to purchase these, just double check if you're matching flatware sets from 2011 or earlier.

Review of Bodum Chambord 21 by 21 cm, 8.3 by 8.3-Inch Cast Iron Enamel Grill

Customer Ratings:

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program You can't always be traipsing outside to use the grill, unless you live in the right part of the world for it or else have a very sheltered area. I love the way this grill pan brings the grilling indoors. True, it's got a small cooking area (21 centimeters square, just over 8 inches) but that's big enough for two hamburgers or a couple of small steaks or some vegetables. The pan has rather deep ridges, so the food rests above any fat that cooks out of it--and your food is embellished with very pretty grill marks.

This is a product that really begs the reviewer to mention pros and cons, so I will mention the most notable of them, starting with the negatives so I can finish with the good points:

CONS:

* This pan is heavy! Six pounds.

* Comes without a whisper of information on care or use of the product (this is not acceptable).

* The stainless steel handle stays cool and is easy to hold, but it seems to be just a bit loose from the get-go. Anyone have a foot-long screwdriver I can borrow?

* Speaking of the handle, does it have to be QUITE so long? I have room to store it, but do you?

* Takes some soaking and scrubbing to clean.

* The sides are low and there is some spatter, though less than I expected.

* Arrives from Amazon in a carton that's almost as big as a kayak.

PROS:

* It's sturdy; not going to warp or dent or deteriorate. Investment kitchenware.

* It's preseasoned and cooks beautifully with minimal oil.

* Works on any kind of burner (mine is electric).

* I love my black one but it does come in several bright enameled colors too.

* According to the Bodum site, you can put it in your dishwasher (if the handle fits).

* Though the price is steep, it compares favorably to other top-quality brands of cast-iron cookware.

So if you have the muscle, and the space in your kitchen for a specialized item like the Bodum Chambord grill pan, go for it because this is an excellent piece of equipment that you're sure to enjoy using for years and years.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I love this because most of the grease that used to be on my steaks is now at the bottom of the pan. The only thing that would improve this is if they made a lid for it, because I feel like the grease is floating around the kitchen every time I cook meat without a lid. It is really well made though and should last a lifetime. Don't drop on your toes or you might break them since this is really heavy! If it wasn't this heavy though, it wouldn't last long. It's really easy to clean too.

Best Deals for Bodum Chambord 21 by 21 cm, 8.3 by 8.3-Inch Cast Iron Enamel Grill

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've never been a big fan of grill pans I've always found that they don't sear well and are generally disappointing when compared to grilling on a real grill. The Bodum Chambord is the first grill pan I've used that works as advertised. The substantial cast-iron build means that once the pan gets hot it retains it's heat so it cooks the food faster, the small size means that it is easy to store in the kitchen and the grilling surface cleans up very easily. I've grilled everything from veggies, to burgers and dogs to sandwiches and they all came out great.

If you've never used a cast iron pan before they take longer to heat up so you have to be patient before you put your food on. The upside to this wait is that the pan also takes longer to cool down. While this pan isn't stuitable as a total relacement for a grill it's a nice option if you just want to grill indoors. I couldn't be happier with this pan.

Honest reviews on Bodum Chambord 21 by 21 cm, 8.3 by 8.3-Inch Cast Iron Enamel Grill

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am a vegetarian so I am not cooking steaks or chops on this pan, but I do cook things like veggie burgers and grilled cheeses, etc. I like the pan, although there are two things about it that are somewhat bothersome: you have to be extremely careful to cook your food evenly on it, otherwise the food easily burns and this makes for a difficult clean up. And, speaking of cleanup, the pan is difficult to clean in general, especially when food gets between the grooves; the other night I cooked some sauerkraut next to my veggie burger, and it was a minor nightmare cleaning the sauerkraut remnants later. So as long as you're careful not to let items burn and as long as you're choosy about only cooking items that won't be terribly difficult to clean up after, this is a good pan. I use it often and like it, even though I feel like I have to be especially careful when using it, in a way I wouldn't with another pan.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I ordered this cast-iron grill pan, because I Love Grilled Peppers. I received a versatile grill pan that cooks evenly and delivers exactly what it's made to deliver: beautifully grilled food.

HERE ARE THE PROS:

1) If you're cooking meat, it keeps it above the oil. And it cooks it evenly, too.

2) The secondary handle makes it easy to lift and drain oil out of the pan.

3) Grilling vegetables is very simple -and they come out looking like I went to the trouble of borrowing my neighbor's barbeque.

4) Clean up is quick, *if* you wash the pan while it's still warm. (Don't allow it to sit with grease on it. No. Do not. It's NOT fun cleaning it cold. I speak from experience.)

5) Makes neat grilled sandwiches; they look " professional and everything." The kids also announced said sandwiches looked Expensive. (I made paninis with sun-dried tomatoes and cheese.)

6) The sides are low enough for easy serving.

7) Good, solid grill pan for the price.

8) At 8.3"x8.3" it's the perfect size for most stove-top grilling.

HERE'S THE CON:

1) This pan is very heavy. I'm disabled, and I must have help lifting and cleaning it if I'm tired and/or in pain.

I LOVE this Bodum Chambord pan! I recommend it without reservation. I cook vegetables three times daily, and it's a pleasure and a joy to have the option of indoor grilling. Just be aware when you order that you're getting the Real Deal -a grill pan designed to last a lifetime.

I just love this saucepan. It is everything a saucepan could be: heats evenly; cleans up easily in the dishwasher; does not have any rivets etc. on the inside to trap food; has smooth finish to release food; and looks really good. This pan will heat the most delicate soup or sauce without any hot spots. It has a good feel with some weight to give that nice even heat. I don't find it heavy; it just has the feel of a very well made item. I have a Cuisinart pan I bought a year or two ago to do the same job and it drove me crazy--always forming hot spots and I had to keep it on almost the lowest heat and stir almost constantly--so much for Cuisinart's sandwich construction. This Demeyer saucepan is the real deal.

I bought it from "We Too Discount Biz" at a substantial savings over the Amazon price and it arrived very quickly and in perfect condition.

The pot works great but is a bit hard to keep clean. It heats up quickly and stays hot long after you turn off the heat. The handle stays reasonably cool as advertised.

Bialetti Aeternum Evolution 07208 Sauté Pan, 12-Inch Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $69.99
Sale Price: Price Unavailable
Today's Bonus: 14% Off

I chose this pan since I am totally against all the non-stick pans that use chemicals to get them to be non-stick. I read and read tons of reviews of pans and finally decided in this one. I have cooked fish, pancakes, eggs, and chicken in this pan so far and it is for the most part very easy to clean. You do need to use a bit more elbow grease on it if you are searing meat/fish with it. There will be traces of black from the searing and although it looks bad when you are cooking, it is relatively easy to clean this off. I use a non-scratch dobie pad with regular soap and warm water. Usually that works fine but sometimes like with blueberry pancakes there is some blue residue from the blueberries so I use a bit of barkeeper's friend and that works fine. After hunting down the perfect pan that will sear well, not stick etc etc...I have come to the conclusion that there is none! I love searing with cast iron but then you have the problem of it being so heavy to work with and if you don't season it correctly it will rust, and there will be problems with the surface as well. I still have my pans and perhaps I may decide to use them again but right now I am sticking with this one. I got rid of my other non-stick pans especially since I spent so much money on one of them and the non-stick coating was beginning to chip off and it was horrible. They claimed it was a no-chemical non-stick but I don't believe that anymore. You have to really research these non-stick claims and see what the material is they use and google it and see if in fact it is safe and chemical free! some I found were really not safe and chemical free even though the company claimed they were. This pan with a tiny bit of oil or butter will let the food cook without sticking and as I said before overall the cleanup is easy. just keep some barkeeper's friend around in those certain cases I mentioned before.

I love this set so far! The pots and pans appear to be extremely durable/sturdy. I have washed them in the dishwasher and they came out spot-free and beautiful!

I also love the styling and details on the pans. I especially like the shiny silver lids, and the details on all of the handles. They look very classy, all the way from the outside in. You can tell they are nice pans and I expect they will last a long, long time. I especially love the pots and the steamer that comes with the larger pot, as I've never owned a proper steamer before!

The pans cook very nice and evenly, though they do conduct heat much better than my old pans. This means they get much hotter at lower stove settings than my previous cookware. This takes a little getting used to, but now that I've got it down, my food turns out just how I want it every time. I love to cook things that have a nice crisp on the outside and a moist inside, and that is much more doable with these than with what I used before. Overall, I've found that the better thermal conductivity gives you much better control and opens a broader range of cooking possibilities. It just takes a little getting used to.

The only bummer is that if you are a messy/poor cook like me, and happen to really burn something in your pan, it is fairly difficult to get the dark splatter out of the pan. But, if you follow the instructions that come with the set (mix water and dishwasher detergent in the pan, bring to a boil and let simmer for 15 minutes), any stubborn food stains seem to come right off. (NOTE: The key for me was to use the dishwasher detergent. The first time I tried removing burned food residue, I didn't want to bother with getting out the detergent and used regular kitchen soap instead. It didn't work. For whatever reason, the dishwasher detergent seems to be the magic bullet.)

Another possible surprise is that the pans are a little smaller than you might expect from the product's picture. They are all true to the dimensions listed online, but are a little smaller than I would have expected just based on the picture (I had to look at Cuisinart's website to find the dimensions since they don't appear to be on this page, but I've copied the dimensions from their website below so others don't have to go searching). That was actually good news for me, as I only ever cook for two and used to have issues with my pots/pans being too large for the portion sizes I wanted to cook. But, if you frequently cook for large numbers of people (ie, meals for 10+ people) it might be difficult to prepare everything in these.

Overall, I would highly recommend these to others. We are very happy with ours.

We just bought the 10-inch pan for cooking eggs bc our old nonstick was worn out and we wanted to give an "eco" option a try, and we have been totally amazed how eggs don't stick. I mean, at all. Like, it is hard to tell whether the pan has been cleaned because there is no egg residue left when you empty the pan. I should say we do use butter in the pan when we cook. Haven't tried it without. But it works better than our old nonstick pan (which we also used with butter), and our uncoated pans too, obv. We'll see how long the effect lasts. I will post an update if it stops working after 10 uses or something (have only used it a few times thus far)

So if you want to replace the plastic knob on your Lodge Color cookware, this is the knob to use. The original plastic knob is only good to 400 degrees F in the oven. The stainless will never melt.Lodge Color Covered Casserole, Island Spice Red, 3-Quart

I bought two of these: One for my "6-Quart Lodge Color" Dutch Oven & one for my 5.5-quart Tramontina Dutch Oven. My Lodge is an older model. I believe all the new Lodge Dutch Ovens are now shipping with this stainless knob. The knobs fit perfectly & can go in to an oven up to 500 degrees (perfect for making "no-knead bread"). Both my Dutch ovens came with the hard black plastic knobs so only safe to 400 degrees. I know this, because I experimented with my original knob in a 500 degree oven & it cracked & made a very bad smell.

The knob is a generous size (2-inch diameter) & is easy to grasp with oven mitts or a hot pad.

All you need is a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the old knob & screw on the new stainless knob.

My lodge dutch oven had a rubber knob that was only safe up to 400 deg. F, so I replaced it with this stainless knob that is safe up to 500 deg. F. Great for baking breads and other hot oven uses.

My older lodge cast iron enamel pot came with a plastic knob that was not safe to use at higher oven temps. I bought this so I could bake at higher temps. It's a great knob, larger than it looks in the pictures, very sturdy and best of all it looks GREAT on my lid and I can bake at 500 degrees now if I want to :-) Love lodge cast iron enamel pots and this knob, too!! Great purchase!!

I mean, I've dealt with my fair share of knobs. What girl hasn't? You spend enough time in the kitchen, you get to know your knobs. You spend a lot of time pulling on knobs, lifting knobs, sometimes you're a little rough with your knobs.

Sometimes someone warns you that your knob will explode.

(... apparently, if you put it in the oven above a temperature above which you very frequently use your Lodge dutch oven. I didn't test this theory as exploding knobs are not really my thing.)

So while I'm no expert on the subject of knobs, I knew I needed a new one. Exploding knobs are not good knobs to keep around, even if they're quite nice, as the Lodge "default" knobs tend to be. So I ditched my old knob and bought this shiny wonder. It's fantastic. Doesn't explode. Helps me lift the lid to my dutch oven with ease. It's a great knob. I intend to keep it around for a good long while.

I originally ordered this item for its beauty. However, when I opened it, I discovered there were no instructions on its use, until I turned it over and stamped on the bottom it stated . . . "HAND WASH ONLY" and "NOT FOR USE IN MICROWAVE". After reading that, I did further research hoping I could use it in the oven, but alas, that idea was also nixed. Since I ordered this for both heating and serving and was unable to do this, it was of little use to me. I contacted Amazon, and explained my concerns, and how it was stated in the description that it was dishwasher safe, when it was not, the person I spoke to, graciously helped with the return process.

If you like the way it looks and are using it for a serving piece only and willing to hand wash this item, this is the perfect item. However, if you need or want to bake, microwave or dishwash, keep on looking!

I searched for weeks for a bowl for sourdough starter. I only want to keep a small amount of starter for personal use, so I didn't want a huge bowl. The bowl also needed to breathe, so it couldn't have an airtight seal. This bowl is the perfect size for the amount of sourdough starter I need to keep on hand with enough room to rise when fed. The bowl serves the purpose I needed it for while being pleasing to the eye!

This is not your traditional bean pot but we thought we would give it a try. First time making beans the pot cracked and we had to return it.

When I bought my first house several years ago, I bought a set of OXO kitchen utensils that were cheap. I didn't do much cooking, so I figured they would get me by. I used them for years, but when I got married, we got got a Calphalon Nylon spatula as a wedding gift. I have since replaced all my OXO utensils with Calphalon Nylon ones. I got the four-piece set and just bought this one as an extra since we use the spoon so often.

It's plastic, so you don't have to worry about it splitting or absorbing bacteria like a wooden one. This spoon is well-constructed; you can scoop a heaping pile of mashed potatoes or other heavy foods without it bending. The handle is fairly thick, so it fills the hand better than many others. The grey strip runs almost the entire length of the shaft and is slightly softer than the black body, so it offers a good grip. But the thing that made me switch everything over is its "unibody" construction. Other kitchen utensils have a shaft that tapers to the scoop which is attached to the handle with an adhesive. The problem is that, over time, the seal between the shaft and the handle can open up a bit, which lets in water whether you're using the dishwasher or washing by hand. The water can be annoying when unloading the dishwasher and, at worst, can become tepid while sitting in a drawer, dripping into your food when you take it out for use. There's nowhere for water to get stuck on these, so you don't have to worry about it.

It has been used at very high temperatures on my stove top and sent through the dishwasher dozens of times and is no worse for the wear (whereas my old OXOs have many grooves in the shaft from sitting on the side of a pot for even a short time). You might pay a little more for these, but they are worry-free and will last as long as you want to use them. I actually got a Calphalon Essentials spatula at one point, but the Nylon line is quite a bit better.

FYI: you can save a few bucks by getting the basic Calphalon 4 Pc. Nylon Utensil Set and picking up the rest on an individual basis as needed.

Pros

Plastic, so more sanitary than wood

Sturdy construction with thick handle

Softer grey on handle gives good grip

Nowhere for water to be accidentally stored

Cons

More expensive than many other spoons

The spoon exudes a strong chemical odor when when heated up by the food. I'm reluctant to use it anymore.

A drawer in our kitchen is full of large spoons, forks, tongs, and spatulas, so many that it's hard to find a specific utensil and pry it from the drawer. This particular Calphalon Nylon Spoon is at the top of Mrs. Spudman's list of favorites. She insisted I hold the spoon and experience its spoonicity for myself. I have to admit that this Calphlon spoon has a special feel and balance that other spoons (also handed to me by Mrs. Spudman) certainly lack.

Its handle is just the right thickness for superb handling and comfort, and the ladle part has just the right combination of size and concavity to dish out precise portions of food.

Want a spoon to go gaga over? Give this Cephalon spoon a try.

I love this spoon it doesn't scratch my Calphalon pieces. The dog ate the last one that I had and I had to replace it. You can't go wrong with this spoon in your collection.

Calphalon is probably best known for their chef quality cooking pans (which I also own) but they're starting to make a name for themselves with their supporting cast of cooking tools as well. I've used a broad variety of kitchen utensils over the years from super cheap wood ones to high quality Good Grips. Of them, Calphalon are among the very best. The reason is simple: extremely high build quality. All of the Calphalon utensils are made of high density plastic with slightly softer plastic handles. They are a single piece of forged nylon which makes them extremely durable. I've been using a set for over a year non-stop and they still look new. Because they are nylon, they are hugely resistant to heat and will not easily melt or deform if accidentally left in a hot pot or pan. They also will not scratch your non-stick pots and pans (or even hard anodized pans if you have them). They also each have a small eyelet that will allow you to easily hang them if that's your thing.

If you prefer professional kitchen tools, these are for you. For a slightly higher price you get a much nicer tool that will last practically forever. As well made as Calphalon's pot/pan sets, they're premium quality utensils.

Highly recommended.
