And anyone can use it, whether you are right handed, left handed, or -like a politician -underhanded. It's Swiss quality! See that loop on the side? That gets the eyes of your potatoes, and cleans up pineapples without wasting any fruit! It even slices cheese into wafer thin slices, effortlessly!

I have 3 years buying this peeler and absolutely love it and will never use another as long as I can. It peels everything so easily, quickly and slices thin as well. Like coleslaw? Well this makes thin slivers of cabbage a breeze.The handle can be turned around to scoop out the guts of a melon, pumpkin etc... The notch on the side pulls out the eyes of potatoes easy as well.

I have arthric hands and cannot peel without causing me much pain but with this wide handle, I can for long periods of time without effort. I gift these to all the cooks I know and we are all in awe of this great product.

I will be honest and state that it does rust easily if you do not oil the hinge after every use (cooking oil is all that is needed), and is not dishwahser safe but it is worth the effort.

I've had this for over a year, and I love it. Everyone that ever used it in my kitchen also loved it.

Just be careful and don't use it for peeling small or round things like apples for example, or you'll cut nice thin pieces of your holding thumb just like I did.

This peeler is perfect for big potatoes, squash, carrots, cucumbers, or anything that's elongated.

Also, do not wash it in the dishwasher, or leave it in water. Just rinse it right after use and hang it to dry. You don't want rust on it, do ya?

Honest reviews on Swisspro Vegetable Peeler

I've been using the same peeler for at least 10 years. It is finally starting to die slowly. I never oiled it, washed it in the dishwasher all the time. It just kept working like it was new all these years. I bought it at a flea market in Stormville, NY for about $2.50. I sure have gotten my money's worth.

You know when you peel a pineapple with a knife and you leave all the bits behind? Use the eye, you pull the bits out the back. Use the same eye, you're gonna make really good french fries. You know why they're so good? They've got three sides, not four (that's how the French make them). They use less oil, and they cook quicker. And if you want to make them taste great, you leave the skin on the potato. You don't peel it, you wash it. Cook them like that with the skin on. And if you cook these yourself without trans-fat, you wash them down with red wine, you'll never die. You'll live forever.

This teakettle is the perfect size. I measured about 8 eight ounce cups of water in it, so it could offer enough hot water for 4 or 5 cups of tea. It is smaller than the usual teakettles, which looked monstrous to me. I really enjoy seeing my little teakettle on the stove. It's attractive and doesn't take up too much space. The bottom measures about 6 inches across.

I'm a loyal Scanpan user, but whatever you do, DON'T BUY THIS PAN. I've had it for 3 months, and already food sticks to the ridges. I've followed the directions very carefully and have used nothing abrasive on it. When I wrote to Scanpan to complain, the customer service rep gave me a long and tortured process to "restore" the pan. Restore? Really? The pan is 3 months old. Plus, their customer service is the pits I think it's outsourced to Asia which would be fine except that the response was scripted and off point. Save yourself a headache and buy another brand.

After reading a lot of reviews I decided to buy it, I have a few Scanpan fry pans which I love, live in a condo and BBQ is not allowed so I've tried so many options, Prolodge cast iron(good but hard to clean and makes the apt very smoky) and so far this is the closet to an outdoor grill, use it to grill steaks ( fits 2 10-12 oz strip loins, 2 or 3 burgers) and it's soo easy to clean, when still warm wipe it down with paper towel and when it cools down wash it it hot running water, it does not stick at all! it doesn't make the place too smoky. If you use common sense to use it it will last long and if something goes bad with the one I have I'd buy it again, nothing lasts forever!

Buy Michael Graves DesignTM Fondue Set

Michael Graves DesignTM Fondue Set
Customer Ratings: 3 stars
Buy Now
I recieved this as a wedding gift several years ago, and had not attempted to use this item since then. Upon opening the box the week prior to New Year's I discovered there were no instructions. Having zero fondue experience I wanted to obtain these. I assumed that I would be able to locate them on the web, but couldn't. Per other users suggestions, I emailed a representative at Michael Graves to assist me. They did send the directions via email, however it was after New Year's and I was forced to purchase a set with instructions for the party. I will post a following of the instructions that Michael Graves sent me:

1) Place fondue set on a heat-resistant, level tabletop or other sturdy, flat surface.

2) Place canned fuel in stand before lighting in center with a match.

3) For best results, prepare the fondue in the fondue pot on the stove top on low heat, then carefully transfer pot to the stand with the burner lit.

4) Make sure pot fits securely on the stand.

5) When completely cool, remove the fondue pot from the stand.

6) Remove all contents from pot and rinse.

7) Wash pot and splash guard by hand, using warm, soapy water.

8) Fondue forks are dishwasher safe.

9) Wipe cooled stand with a damp cloth, or wash in hot, soapy water if needed and dry thoroughly.

!! CAUTION: !!

This fondue set is designer to use canned cooking fuel, as a heat source. Do not use liquid fuel. Use pot holders to transfer hot fondue pot to lit burner. Make sure the canned heat isn't too high before transferring pot. Keep fondue set out of the reach of children and always store burner in a childe safe place. Never eat directly off of the fondue fork. Always use your fondue set in a well-ventilated area.

In addition, the Michael Graves fondue set was designed to use a canned fuel burner, "canned heat", one of the most well known brands is "Sterno". This canned fuel should be readily available at your local hardware, camping, or catering supply store. The proper size is the 2 hour, 2.6 OZ., (about 2 inches in diameter with a green label) can. If making a cheese or chocolate fondue use 1-2 tea light candles. This lower amount of heat will keep your ingredients from scorching.

Hopefully this will help the next person with this dilemma.

I received this fondue pot as a Christmas gift, only to be disappointed to find that it did not come with ANY instructions.... nothing that tells you how to put it together, what fuel to use, etc. Also, there were no recipes, and no fuel pot. I went back to Target to look at the ones they had there, and they also did not have the above mentioned items. I also could not find any fuel or fuel pots sold for this item. Without instructions, I would have no idea how to use it, so I will be returning it. I bought another fondue pot instead.

Best Deals for Michael Graves DesignTM Fondue Set

I love fondue parties and own multiple fondue pots. The biggest fault with the Graves set is the abscence of a burner set. I like using the Graves set because it looks so nice and I like the revolving serving dishes(although small). When I use it though I actually use a burner cover from another set. You can not just use an open can of Sterno or the like because you can not modulate the heat. Even with the proper heat I usually reserve this set for broth or oil fondues as cheese or chocolate are hard to clean. I would only reccomend cheese or chocolate to a fondue pot that is a double boiler. Williams & Sonoma has a great set. Even with moderated heat, hot spots are hard to avoid on the Graves set burning cheese or chocolate. If you take these things into consideration and can get other fondue accesories I would not hesitiate buying this set as it is very stylish.

Honest reviews on Michael Graves DesignTM Fondue Set

While fondue is very easy, "fill-dip-eat" are not the only instructions. LA forgot about "heat". I see this is where most of the disgruntled comments are coming in. Add mine. Even the sales clerk at my local Target store couldn't figure out what to sell me for this product, and if she couldn't figure it out, then why would you figure we end-consumers could? Most products suggest specific accessories to use so as to not harm the finish or damage the product itself. I'm not willing to take the chance on using the wrong heating source, so have followed the advice to email Wilton for help. My advice to Target is to sell the heating source right next to the fondue set. THAT would be the pracical and easy solution to this problem that is making us all so frustrated. Target gets more sales revenue. We don't have to get frustrated with gifts that we can't use immediately. As for me, I already know I will truly enjoy this product once I find the correct heat source to use. I cannot rank it high, though. The product might be great, but a consumer service help-line (or simple written instructions)is surely needed.

It may not take a rocket scientist to figure out how to use this fondue set, but a few, simple instructions would have been nice. I registered for another fondue set....which came with instructions....on my bridal registry at Target. I was excited to see that someone had upgraded my gift to the Michael Graves set, but was very frustrated when I found no instructions. I've dined at fondue restaraunts, but never prepared it myself, and would have appreciated a few, simple instructions. My husband went to the Michael Graves website and emailed them about the problem. They were quick to respond, and mailed us a set of instructions. :)

I purchased this in hopes that I wouldn't have to continually wipe the wine drop sliding down the bottle and prevent wine stains on my white counter top...it works great! For the price, you can't beat this gadget. There are alternatives however.

The spatula is the perfect size for brownies and such, and we purchased for use with nonstick cookware (a 9x13 pan in particular).

If you read closely, you'll see it's not a metal spatula. That takes some getting used to, and I feel like it's breakable because it's plastic, though that's probably not true. Spatula is thick, so doesn't make a clean, barely perceptible cut, but an 1/8" or thicker separation in the brownies. Though it's much narrower, the 'serving spatula' might be better for brownies. I plan on trying that.

If quality tools are important to you, this is the fry basket for you. In case you may want to know what size it really is, it's:

Diameter: 9.75" Dimensions: 19" x 9.75" wide x 4" tall.

No, you don't have to use it in an allclad pan. I'm using it in a dutch oven and it fits perfectly. It also has that hook on the handle side so you can hang it over the oil to drain. And it's STURDY.

This is 60 bucks at All Clad sites and this is a heck of a deal.

Now to enjoy some Fronch Fries.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

Purchased the All-Clad after learning about another fry basket and researching fry baskets. I chose the All-Clad because it's stainless steel (vs chrome plated) and, as in all All-Clad products, it has a life-time warranty. It has a large capacity and the handle is NOT riveted to the basket, but it does seem to be securely attached. I like that the base has "feet" that elevate your contents maybe 1/4" above the bottom of the pan to keep the contents out of any residue left from multiple batches of frying. You DO need to buy a deep pan to use it in. I tried it in my Tramontina dutch oven and it's not a good fit. I broke down and got the All-Clad 6 quart deep saute pan (before the prices jumped astronomically) and it's a perfect fit. The fry basket has a hook on the bottom that allows you to hang the basket on the edge of the pan to drain very nice. As the weather gets warmer, I plan to use it outside on the grill burner for frying to keep the grease out of the kitchen. For now, we're using it to contain the chicken and vegetables when we make stock. It's so much easier than straining it out.

Best Deals for All-Clad 6-Quart Fry Basket

This thing is super. It turns the 6 qt stockpot or tall sauté pot into a deep fryer, or extracts the carcass and/or veggies out of stock liquid without having to strain off the liquid into another container.

I love to make turkey or chicken soup with the carcass after most of the meat has been eaten, but there's usually some meat sticking to the bones that needs to be hand pulled after boiling. By using this basket with my tall 6 qt sauté pan, I can just lift it up with all the bones and vegetables inside and hang it on the edge of the pan via the basket's hook to let everything drain and cool. When the ingredients are cool enough to handle I can remove the remaining meat from the bones and throw out the rest. If I'm making a soup, I can add that meat right back to the stock along with some rice or noodles and chopped parsley and it's wonderful. Of course, I may want to do other things with the stock, but the fact remains that with this basket, getting the solids out of the liquid is a piece of cake.

If you're into deep-frying, of course, the basket is perfect for that, but I use it far more often for making stock or blanching something. This basket is worth its weight in gold. Highly recommended.

Honest reviews on All-Clad 6-Quart Fry Basket

well built for the all clad 6qt deep sauté pot....

pro: good value and perfect size for deep frying in a 6 qt pot

con: the handle is not up to all clad standards its very light weight ... these Re made in china nd for $60 they can afford to put a real all clad handle on it

update

also the rim clip is too high, all clad should redesigned to 1) use a real all clad handles ,,,and 2) place the rim clip at the very bottom so that when you raise the basket out of the oil you can actually rest it on the pot without the food at its bottom still immersed into the oil...

that said its otherwise well built with stainless steel mesh and resting feet that keeps it from touching the bottom of the pot

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for All-Clad 6-Quart Fry Basket

I already own the 4-quart version of this fry basket which is now discontinued and wanted to add this 6-quart version before the same thing possibly happened to it. Although it is Made in China, other reviewers have correctly pointed out that this is a very decent quality fry basket that serves its intended purpose well.

Whereas my 4-quart basket that was purchased from a retail store came in an All-Clad box, however, this 6-quart version purchased here from Capital Cookware arrived with no such product packaging. Instead, it was delivered in a shipping box, very securely packed with newspapers, and enclosed in a thick protective bag. While I have to presume that this was done to simply facilitate shipping, it would also be nice to have been provided with the original box since this product is being purchased as new. Also, this practice does raise some suspicion about its authenticity, since I have seen it reported elsewhere that products sold without their packaging could potentially be counterfeit. A side-by-side comparison of this 6-quart basket to my 4-quart basket has convinced me that this 6-quart basket is indeed an original. Just don't expect original packaging from this seller.

I filled this Orka steamer up to the top with broccoli, popped it in the microwave, and in four minutes I had perfectly steamed broccoli. Looked and tasted great. I buy broccoli in big warehouse-size bags. I often ended up with a too-big pot of overcooked bland unappetizing broccoli. Tonight, Wow! I am a believer! This little Orka is a wonderful time saver, AND a food saver if you previously tried to save time by cooking a big batch of something which quickly lost its appeal. All I had to go was rinse some broccoli, snip away the thick end stalks, pull off the smaller florets and drop them into my Orka, and in a matter of minutes I had the best-tasting broccoli. And, the bonus no saucepan and lid to wash. How much better does it get? Oh, I can't forget to praise the manufacturer for making this in my favorite bright red color.

I have several Orka silicone products and they have become some of my kitchen favorites! I especially like to microwave fresh fish and vegetables. Actually, everything I've microwaved in my Orka steam cookers has been moist and delicious, even without adding liquids. They are truly amazing. Orkas are especially wonderful for warming up leftovers. My single friends especially like them because they are perfect for preparing small quick meals. I particularly like this square steam cooker because the bottom is reinforced and doesn't bend as much as the others. If you purchase any of the Orka products, I can assure you that you won't regret it. I purchased several for Christmas gifts and know they will be very much appreciated.

Before I bought this Orka steamer I was using tons of the Ziplock brand steam bags from the store. I'm so glad I found this thing, definitely cuts down on the money and waste! I've used it for fresh broccoli, asparagus, and brussel sprouts to great results. You can add olive oil or butter and any seasonings you want before sticking it in the microwave. Pretty much anything you'd normally steam in a pot on the stove can be steamed in this within a fraction of the time it would normally take. The silicone makes it really easy to clean (and mine, despite the many dishwasher loads it has endured, still looks brand new). Highly recommended!

I ordered this to replace my small veggie steamer but it's smaller than the one I was going to replace. But I ended up taking it to my office and I steam half a bag of frozen vegetables nearly every day to have with my lunch. It's perfect for that. But tried to put a whole bag of frozen broccoli and cauliflower in and it wasn't large enough to hold that much. Beware, the size given is overall measurements not the inside dimensions. It's a wonderful steamer, just too small for most uses.
