Best Cuisinart 3-Piece Folding Tool Set Deals

These tools don't actually lock in place. They lock open, but 'open' means they have a few milimeters of play between the locking mechanism and the backstop of the handle. That means that when locked open, the end of the tool wiggles separate from the handle. While they look neat, and do take up less space, they are pretty poor at fulfilling their actual purpose. Wiggling tools that don't go exactly where you need them to go is almost worse than no grill tools at all.

You might as well just use a fork and a pocket knife.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart 3-Piece Folding Tool Set

The picture suggests to the casual observer that there are 6 pieces to this set. There are only 3. The picture shows them folded and open, not a short and long set.

This set seems quite sturdy and the fact that they fold for easy storage is a big plus in my book. They also have a metal loop for hanging, if you wish to do that.

This is NOT a small sized set for traveling. They are normal sized, with the exception of the wire brush, which is a bit small.

I've only just got them, so I'll try to update this review after using and traveling with them for a time.

I don't recommend using the candles provided. Buy tea lights with the metal cups that hold the candles. If you use the candles provided, there is not a metal cup to catch the wax so if there is any wax remaining, it is difficult to remove it. Then, when you put the next candle in, it won't fit in the holder correctly. Just a little tip for making these fantastic butter warmers even better!

These are super cute. They're pretty small basically personal size. Holds about 3/4 cup of liquid each. The crock holders don't look like much, but they serve their purpose the crocks didn't wobble or spill. I call these my lazy fondue I tried to melt cheese in it without much success, but it's great for keeping butter melted or sauces hot. Great for hors d'oeuvres where you need multiple sauces but don't want to do a huge pot of fondue! Nice quality, great price.

The pot is so cute not your standard warmer. I put butter in it and slip it in the microwave for a few seconds and the warmer keeps it nice and hot, if your food cools it will warm it up in a flash. I have looked in stores for a warming pot and could not find any. When I saw these I could not wait to use them. Glad I ordered them!

Honest reviews on Norpro Ceramic Butter Warmers, Set of 2

Had an immediate need for a holiday family seafood feast. Already had one pair. Needed 4 more. Very convenient especially with the handles that are touchable well into a prolonged meal. Butter melts in a matter of two minutes and stays soft for literally hours on a single candle. My niece ground up some fresh garlic and included in half of the warmers for optional additional flavor. Very easy to clean afterwards. Safe, attractive, classy. Don't have to worry about tarnishing that may occur with metal sets. And, even though we paid a bundle for the quick delivery, it was well worth it. Now we're set for all future family fun gatherings. Aloha!

I bought these for our annual Christmas-day lobster dinner party, and they were fantastic, but the base was a little too short. Once the butter is completely melted and hot, it begins to actually boil and bubble due to the direct flame. If the base was an inch taller it might warm it comfortably for a longer time, but we found we had to keep putting the candles out and relighting them. Have utility lighters on hand. The handles worked perfectly for our purposes though, as there were a lot of people sharing the butter and they could pour as much on as they liked and move on.

I love this pan. From the first time I saw it displayed in the kitchen store, surrounded by raw sugar "sand" and a pail and shovel, I was charmed. My imagination took hold and I had to have it.

First of all, it bakes up just like any other bundt cake, so long as you get each nook and cranny of the pan interior with flour-added cooking spray. (It's right there on the grocer's shelf next to the regular spray.) If you do that one simple step, I guarantee that this cake will release from the pan perfectly every time! I like yellow cake for that sandy color no need to frost this cake! Oh, and take care not to over-fill the pan... make a few extra cupcakes if you need to with any leftover batter.

Presentation options are endless! I use turbinado sugar "sand", sprinkled all over, and chocolate rocks for a natural look. I've added chocolate seashells for a beachy look, and once sugar cookie starfish... On another version, fondant "ladybugs" and "butterflies" frolicked about the castle walls. Don't forget to add flags to the turrets, especially if it's someone's birthday cake! Most of all, have fun and enjoy the compliments!

Castle cakes! Castle cakes! Castle cakes! You have to admit it's fun to say. :D

This little bundt pan delivers! It pops out beautiful cakes in amazing detail. Using non-stick flour spray, I've have had no problems at all (and I've had a long history of cracked cakes from other pans). I've baked 6 cakes in the past week. Each one turned out fantastic and was a delight to decorate (we found out that cutting out the drawbridge further adds to the realism of the cake--plus you can put a little knight or gingerbread person inside).

The quality of this pan is also very impressive. It's made with a heavy metal alloy (not like the cheapy bundt cake pans I've seen at the store). It will most likely become an heirloom in my family. :)

NordicWare castle cake pan is super easy to use (follow bundt-pan directions on cake mix.) Cake comes out perfectly with the cake showing all of the details on the pan. (follow bundt-pan directions on cake mix box.) Drizzle cake with melted frosting & crushed candies or seasonal-colored sprinkles to decorate (regular frosting would cover all the details.) Easy, easy, easy cake pan to use, and soooo easy to end up with a WOW looking dessert. Use your imagination on decorating...we did Candy Canes in the towers for a christmas cake. Guests were so impressed, they decided this is the new "traditional" Christmas Day dessert, then brainstormed about all the other ways castle could be decorated for other occasions & holidays (dream-fairy castle for a wedding shower, haunted castle for Halloween, Disney castle for a birthday party, etc.) My Suggestion: Search online for the best price. I originally saw the pan in an expensive gift catalog for $40 plus shipping, also found it in person at a large housewares chain store for $35. Then I bought the pan online for under $30, shipping included so if you're not in a hurry, shop it.

Honest reviews on Nordic Ware Pro Cast Castle Bundt Pan

I sprayed the pan well, and the cake came out easily. Since you can't put frosting on the cake, we put it underneath, using white icing dyed blue for water like a moat. First icing on the cake plate, then the cake, then I started clumpping the icing around it with the idea I would smooth it out. But, it looked like waves crashing around the castle, so I left it like it was! I used the spray on blue decorating stuff to put more blue on, and used blue sugar crystals to give it some dimension, and I am not terrible artistic but it looked fantastic! I will use this pan many, many times and my local bakery even wants to take a look at it for some ideas. So worth the 20 bucks!

Even after having owned this pan for years, I still enjoy it as much as when first purchased. I have baked several types of cakes and used it as a gelatin mold. The pan still performs & looks unused.

Some suggestions:

Follow the directions for flouring and cooling. If you don't, you'll be using a toothpick to clean those details. Otherwise, the cakes lifts out perfectly.

I use Bak-klene spray available at Williams-Sonoma, where I purchased the pan. Then I flour the pan.

Smooth recipes provide the best results. One recipe with crushed pineapple resulted in loss of detail & difficulty removing from pan.

When using as a gelatin mold, follow the instructions for Jigglers(TM). I followed the quick-set method & the finished product did stand up but was very unstable.

Make an Undersea Castle with gelatin and gummy fish & sharks. Do not try to make seaweed using the yogurt gummy rolls. They dissolve in the gelatin.

Make a haunted house or Dracula's Castle for Halloween with Devil's Food Cake.

Dress the cake up for these themes: Christmas Wonderland, Princess, Horse Trainer or Pirate.

Brown sugar makes a great base for your castle. I gave four stars instead of five because this pan can be more difficult to clean than regular cake pans but the compliments are worth it.

The pans are wonderful. Heavy and even in cooking. The lids are horrendous. They have rust forming on the stainless steel and there is water sloshing around in the area between the glass and the stainless ring. Only had them for a couple of months. Contacted Chantal and they said they had never heard of this before. Although I have read other reviews that say the same thing. Now I am supposed to send all the lids back and they will supposedly send me new ones. Meanwhile..... The offer to replace them came after my third contact. Not worth the $$ or the hassle.

We've thrown out all the teflon because these pans are awesome! They truly are non-stick, and if for some reason there is something leftover in the pan, it literally washes out with just water...you don't even need to use a sponge! Warning, these pans get hot and hold the heat, so cook on lower heat than you normally would. If you are one of those people who cooks everything on high, you will be very disappointed, as your food will be very well done in no time at all. Yes, I am re-learning to cook everything on medium heat. Also, because the pans hold their heat, they continue to cook even after you turn off the stove, so be careful if you are cooking something delicate like eggs to remove them from the pan as soon as they are done or they will be rubbery. I use a few drops of oil for moisture in my food, but it is not necessary. Once you use these pans, there is no going back. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these pans. They are also nice to look at on my pot rack...no more ugly stains on the inside or out, like my stainless steel and other coated pans.

Mauviel M'Heritage 2.5 mm 14-by-10-Inch Rectangular Roasting Pan Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This isn't really a review of the product but something for buyers to be aware of. I've been looking to buy a small copper roaster to match my 2.5mm Mauviel pans. I bought one from WS but it turned out not to be 2.5mm even though their site claims it is. I returned it right away. I found this roaster on Amazon also claiming to be 2.5mm. I ordered it figuring if it didn't turn out to be 2.5mm, I could return it. This is not a 2.5mm pan as advertised. Looking at the rim I can see the thickness of the metal is not even close to 2.5mm. I have a large Mauviel roaster that is 2.0mm and is quite heavy. I would say this pan may not even be 2.0mm but it's close. I've decided to keep it even though it's not as advertised. I suspect Mauviel doesn't make 2.5mm roasters anymore. This is going to be the thickness for the top end roaster. All that being said, it's a well made roaster. The cast iron handle really compliments the copper body. It will look even better when it develops a patina. My large copper roaster is almost too heavy. So this one will be more practical for regular use.

Review of DeBuyer Mineral B Element Country Cheff Iron Pan, Round

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $70.00
Sale Price: $60.44
Today's Bonus: 14% Off

I really like this pan and have found it Remarkably well suited for stir-frying, braising small cuts of meat, and it has even worked well for deep frying egg rolls. If you're interested in frying steaks, etc, I would not recommend this pan as it is a bit small at the base for such things. Instead, consider the larger De Buyer Country skillet (be forewarned that it is a heavy pan) or one of the traditional De Buyer fry pans.

My only complaint with the pan is that the silicone coating on the handle seems pointless--it is too thin to offer any real insulation from the heat and it has melted/cooked away at the point where the handle is riveted to the body of the pan.

Seasoning: there is an incredible amount of debate/information on the web about how to season steel and cast iron pans. My experience has been that the methods for seasoning cast iron and steel are similar but not necessarily interchangeable. The method I used, one that has worked well, is to:

1) Boil potatoes skins in the new pan as directed by De Buyer (this helps remove the bees wax coating that the pan ships with). Throw out the resulting grey mess;

2) scrub the pan thoroughly with soap and water to get off any remaining wax;

3) Heat the pan slightly on the stove to ensure that it is completely dry--about 2 minutes on medium heat;

4) Using a clean paper towel, vigorously rub a thin coat of flaxseed oil onto the insides of the pan (don't forget to shake the oil well before using it and to refrigerate it). I cannot reiterate that this layer of oil needs to be very, very thin--best to apply lots of thin layers than one big thick one;

5) Heat the pan until the oil cooks past its smoke point--about 15-20 minutes. Remember that seasoning IS NOT cooking and the goal here is to cause the oil to polymerize. If you are really interested, leave a comment and I will point you to a link that explains the chemistry in-depth;

6) Allow the pan to cool and then repeat steps 3-6 several more times;

7) After you've created a solid coating of 7-10 layers on the inside of the pan, just start cooking with it and it will continue to season on its own.

Cleaning; usually I just wipe it out with a clean cloth/paper towel; however, it does, on occasion require that I use some boiling water and salt to get out crusty bits.

These pans are amazing! they are the best cooking items we have discovered lately. Solid, smooth surface cooks evenly... it's almost like a smooth cast iron pan. We are throwing out all of our Scanpans. There is a big draw back though. They are extremely heavy. With some of the larger ones, they are very difficult to handle when trying to hold with one hand to dump/pour and use the spatula with the other.... but they cook very well, just remember to season the pan first.

Alton Brown once said that his desert island pan would be a Lodge cast iron pan. I respectfully disagree. I would go with this pan in the 12.6" size. I have seared steaks, deep fried fish, made chilaquiles, and a whole lot of other meals in this pan. And i've only had it three days. When seasoned, nothing will stick. Eggs and potatoes slide right out, and i only have to give a quick rinse with hot water and dry on the stove. The high sides help keep the stove top clean when deep frying and help keep the food in the pan when stir frying. This is and will always be my favorite pan. I will be buying more for my kids so that they can start out with a good set of cookware. They are 15, 10, 6 and 3, so i have time to season this one well, and hand it over to the oldest. Then buy a new one and start the process over again.

The only drawback I can think of is the size and weight. I will be installing a hanging pot rack soon, so this won't be an issue for me, but those with less space may have a problem. The weight may be an issue for some, but the installed helper handle helps with this.

Buy these pans and you will be set. Take care of them and you will be passing these onto your great grandchildren.

I got very lucky and purchased these at Williams Sonoma during an unadvertised sale. I got both the 12.6" and the 9.4" for $85.00. But even at Amazon prices, it is totally worth every penny.

One last note, DO NOT leave these pans to "soak". They require immediate cleaning and drying. So if you or you significant other like to "soak" cookware, buy something else.

BUY THESE BE HAPPY!!!!

I didn't realize how huge this pan was going to be. I need two hands to move it when it's filled. But wow it holds a lot of whatever you're cooking. I use it to stir fry, boil smaller batches of potatoes, more versatile that I imagined. I was nervous spending so much on a pot, but I was so impressed by the quality I bought 2 more by the same company in different sizes.

At less than six bucks, and free delivery I couldn't pass it up. I tested it out on some thin strips of steak and it cooked them up wonderfully. I can think of only a few uses for this, but at the price I figure that I could buy a few and have a "make your own fajita" party or something and then throw them away if they aren't worth storing.

My children and I use this OUTSIDE for fajitas and end up surrounded by neighborhood children and adults! We're the hit of the neighborhood and finish off our meals by popping off the top (be careful, it's hot!) by using the included forks for s'mores!

This is a versitile, not-for-adults-only indoor and out grill. It's very attractive, quite the conversation piece, easy to set up and to clean.

We use it much more than I ever dreamed. Originally I'd envisioned using it for romantic tete-a-tetes or for entertaining but surprisingly a pleasant surprise this grill has evolved into a useful and used often family cooking staple! Just add water and a sterno and voila! It cooks anything you would normally grill, just make sure your meats are thinly sliced. Heat and eat! Yum!

My eight-year-olds (well supervised of course) LOVE "showing off" before their friends. What a hit at slumber parties! Barbecue indoors! Conversation piece galore! Of course this makes for perfect gifting too: Neighbors, friends, teachers, coaches, babysitters, PTA donations... endless!

HIGHLY reccommend!

Product:

I haven't got to use it yet BUT.. The bottom is very thick (as described), it feels sturdy, lid fits well, it makes a great 'gong' noise when empty.

I'll try to post some more meaningful feedback after I brew a couple batches.

Shipping:

I was worried due to a few other reviews (not just this specific product) talking about dings from shipping. I am very pleased to report that even though the box looks like it was drop kick from the truck to my door the pot is in perfect condition.

Update:

The bad...It appears that some black material (polishing compound?) shadowed every stamped shape inside of the pot. This stuff pretty time consuming to remove. I tried scrubbing with a wet rag, a heavy scrub brush, a tooth brush but eventually found the only way to get it out was to knock it free with a toothpick then scrub it away with a rag. After that I boiled 5 gal of water inside which seemed to clear out the remainder of whatever it was. So that whole process sucked pretty bad. I really want to give this a 5 star because i love the pot but i have to take a star away for this issue.

The Good... The following day i used the pot to boil 5 gal of wort and it worked great. Towards the end of the boil i cranked the heat (54000 BTU burner) to get a raging boil because i was a little high on fluid volume and did not see a trace of scorching once we drained out the wort.

I have not yet verified that the volume markings on the inside of the pot are correct. If i get around to it i'll re-port the results of that investigation.
