Reviews of Napoleon Terrace Se325 Propane Gas Grill On Cart

Customer Ratings:

Previously spent $1000 on a grill that rusted through in 3 years (with a cover). Just recently purchsed this Napoleon model and very pleased. Small footprint but enough cooking surface for 12 burgers. Was not looking for a grill the length of my patio!Heats extremely quickly with the two burners and smaller space. Heats to 800 degrees for quick searing. Wheels better than other models.Only complaint had to do with assembly. Plenty of bolts but inexplicably no nuts. No reference to nuts in the assembly instuctions. No nuts in the plastic packaging material. Weird. Had to go to Home Depot to get nuts to complete assembly. But very pleased with unit. Cover fits securely as well. Easy to recommend.

I have really enjoyed my Napoleon Grill. Very well built and sturdy and has a "closed" back, which a lot of smaller size grills don't. I previously had a Weber Genesis Stainless Steel Grill. Thought it was the last grill I would purchase. However, I found it was too large for 2 people or even for a small dinner party. Also, the 3 burners on the Weber were front to back, which I never got used to or liked. Weber has updated the Genesis to have the burners left to right now, and I am sure more people will like it that way. But, my Napoleon is just the right size, and amazingly, I do not burn food on it like It constantly did on my Weber. It is still large enough to grill 8 or so steaks, so plenty big for me. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the grates, while very heavy duty, are "rough", so trying to oil them tears up the pre-oiled package cloths and oiled paper towels also tear. I thought it would have smoother grates. However, the rough grates give a great char to meat much better than the Weber. All-in-all, I am very happy with it. The only thing I would change, besides the rough grates, is the ignitors. I would have preferred electronic ignitors vs. the rotary style, as I have read the electronic ones last longer, but I have not had any trouble with the rotary ones yet.

Buy Back to Basics 285 Jar Lid Wrench

Customer Ratings:

Over the years, I've developed a bit of carpal tunnel syndrome which flares up now & then, so I have to be careful not to overly strain my wrists when opening a tight jar or bottle lid.

This Jar Lid Wrench by Back to Basics is a life-saver! I use it for for opening vacuum-packed lids, lids that my hubby has screwed on too tightly, and even for the caps on soda pop bottles.

The two sizes on the lid wrench fit everything, and I've even used the long handle area to open the tiniest bottles, like a pill bottle.

I love this product so much that I now own TWO of them, and am going to order one for my daughter's hope chest. (Does anyone even remember what a 'hope chest' is? *smile*)

I've had one of these for over 10 years now, and I'm sure I use it at least once a week on average. Especially now, in my feeble 50s, I have much less strength in my right hand because of an old injury, and the injury gets easily aggravate when I try to grip really hard to open things. This device works better than the rubbery grip pads (which I also own) because the design provides tork -the pads are helpful but you still have to grip hard. I'm so happy to have found this gadget again because we have to equip a second home. So much help for very little money -and pretty indestructable.

I was sure that this would help me open stuff. The arthritis I have in my hands was hampering my normal life! This slid off of every lid I tried to open. I cannot understand how it works for you folks, but for me it did not do the trick. Had to return it. First Amazon return, by the way, and it was easy.

I do not need something complicated to open a dang jar. I just need something that works! This is it.

It works with enormous jars, tiny jars, every size. Takes very little pressure to open the jars ... just a gentle squeeze and turn does it.

I looked at other openers to replace the old one I had (which was an old one from the 1940s handed down from relatives) and this filled the bill nicely. HIGHLY recommend this.

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.

The 'metal guard' claim is a farce. The teflon began flaking off the first month and is getting steadily worse, making cooking a health hazard. We did not abuse these pans and the non stick coating is not holding up. Not very tough at all. I can not recommend this product.

Reviews of Tools of the Trade Basics Starter 12-Piece Cookware Set

Customer Ratings:

I have had my Tools of the Trade Basics set for about 16 years and it looks no worse for wear than it did after about the first six months. I have read a lot of unfavorable reviews for this cookware and I can only surmise that the cookware's owners did not read, or paid no attention to the enclosed instructions. If you cook with medium~low heat you should NEVER have any trouble with uneven cooking, burn on's, or difficult clean up. My old stainles set is a breeze to use, to clean (I use a two sided sponge/scrubbie thing on everything) and I don't forsee ever having to replace it. My only recommendation would be to buy the set with the all steel handles (unavailable when I purchased mine) so you can use them in the oven if you desire. My brother John is a world class chef and gave my cookware the thumbs up. Naturally...he's been informing everyone who will listen that the secret to successful stovetop cooking (aside from fresh, quality ingredients) is using the proper temperature setting. Buy this cookware and use it properly for life. Don't bother with ANY anodized, or coated cookware.

You get 2 Pans (1 with a glass cover), 3 Steamers (with Glass covers) and 3 spoons/turners. Enough tools for serving a 1 or 2 people meal and probably perfect for a college-grad or the first apartment. The glass tops help as you can see the food while cooking. The utensils look and feel good.

Only thing I wish was included (and which I had to buy separately) is a flat turner (I love omelettes and you cannot make a good one with the ones already in the package).

Overall, good value for money. I checked out a few similar items in stores (including Macy's) and didn't find anything close to this price.

These are some of the best knives I have ever owned. They arrived very fast and in great shape. I only gave it 4 stars because the block did not match the knife set. I would have thought it would be a block for this specific set. But, not enough slots or the right size slots.

I purchased these knives for my Dad as a replacement for the old hodgepodge of knives that have called his kitchen drawers "home" for the last decade. While I can say that to date they've only been used a few times, they have definitely shown to be worth the investment. All the knives in this set look great, were honed to a razor sharp edge and fit easily and safely in the hand. With a little TLC, I can't see why these knives wouldn't last for years to come.

While the Wusthof brand of knives is coveted by a lot of folks, what really sold me on this set was the number of steak knives that came with it. My dad entertains pretty frequently at home and thinking about the possibility of short-changing a guest by not being able to provide them with a nice steak knife would bother me. Fortunately unlike other comparable sets, this set comes with six of them, all honed to an edge as sharp as their bigger brothers. We tried them out on a few choice sirloin steaks (cooked to perfection by the way), which they cut through with barely any resistance whatsoever -just like butter.

All in all, these knives have been a pleasure to use in addition to looking great sitting in the block on the counter top. I believe that for the money these knives are worth the investment. Where else but Amazon can you buy a set of Wusthof knives for under $300?

Cheap Norpro KRONA 8 Cup Multi Pot with Straining Lid

List Price: $34.99
Sale Price: $27.00
Today's Bonus: 23% Off

Although I'm not old, I have mild arthritis, so it's great to find something that is convenient and cute in the kitchen.

I love it because it's lightweight, I can skip reaching down to get the strainer out of the cabinet or reaching up to get the liquid measuring cup, and the handle is easy to hold onto.

The extra height seems to make it easier to keep pasta boiling without it going over, too. Or maybe it's because of the good heat conductivity.

I'm not sure if it might get hard to clean inside the lid in the crevice where the glass meets the metal band with the straining holes. We've had ours about a month, and used it at least a dozen times, and it doesn't seem to be a problem, but we mostly cook pasta, rice and vegetables in it.

I didn't realize that I would really appreciate the glass lid, since I've never had one before and my cooking experience is limited. It's great for seeing how much moisture is left in the rice and to see if things are still simmering or about to boil over.

***Update 07 Nov 2007***

Still a 5-star product in my book! There is no hint of accumulation of yuck in any cracks or crevices. The lid is crystal clear and not scratched or chipped. Both the lid and pot handles are still firmly attached, nothing is loosening or going wobbly.

My grandma has been using the same pans for 50 years and they still look brand new. I think I'll be following in her footsteps with my Krona pots and pans! Very cool!

I had been looking everywhere for a pot like this. My son lives in Germany and has one almost like it (without lid). It is used every day. I tried to find one in Germany, and so far have brought 2 home. Neither have been exactly what I wanted. I have also looked for this in many department and kitchen stores no luck. I found the same Multi-Pot on another web site without the lid and at twice the price before I found this one. (I ordered 2 from that site because I was so excited). When I found this one on the Amazon site, I ordered 2 more, then I ordered another 2 for wedding presents. This is a stainless steel pot with a bottom that distributes the heat evenly so you don't get the hot-spotting that can occur with just stainless steel. The pot is a good weight and the handle is sturdy and does not wobble when the pot is filled with water a problem I encountered with one of my German pots. I use the pot to heat up water, make sauces, hard or soft cook eggs, cook vegetables, and for many other things. The more I use this pot, the better I like it. The straining lid was an added bonus. I do clean the pot and lid by hand, and do notice that water sometimes stands under the hardware of the handle, taking a while for the lid to dry. Aside from that, this is really a neat little pot and, I keep finding new uses for it every day. Measuring lines are etched on the inside of the pot. Try it you really can't lose at this price.

You know those packets of premixed noodles/pasta/rice that say measure two cups water add 1/2 cup milk etc? This pot allows you to measure while pouring the ingredients in as it has measure markings on the inside. It is bigger than it looks. It can easily hold two to three of those Lipton noodle packets.

Honest reviews on Norpro KRONA 8 Cup Multi Pot with Straining Lid

This is one of those items that you never knew existed. But once you discover it, you cant do without it. If you cook a lot of vegetables or pasta in regular pmots you need one of these pots. It makes life so much easier. Everything works well. The pot is the right weight and balance. The handle stays relatively cool. The lid fits perfectly.

As far as cooking things like pasta this pot is excellent. Its much simpler to take this pot to the sink and pour out the water through the small holes in the lid and leave the pasta in the pot. It'll make you wonder why you ever put a pasta strainer in the sink, dump scalding hot water/pasta into it, get a bunch of steam in your face,etc.

EDIT: The above was true of the older pot. The new pot is totally different and far inferior to the old precision made pot. The new one is made in China, and is substandard in all ways. The lid doesnt fit well, the lid in the old model fit snugly and precisely. The Chinese made one has the lid rattling around like any old cheap pot. Whats the point of strainer holes if the water comes streaming out even if you dont have the strainer holes opened?

My pot even had dark unsightly solder marks in the inside of the pot! Wait did I buy a $10 el cheapo Chinese pot without knowing? No I bought a $35 supposedly premium pot and this is what I get?

I'm tempted to sue for bait and switch this is corporate gamesmanship at its worst.

I encourage no one support this crummy corporation or buy their substandard cookware. If you have past experience with their cookware, these days are over they've totally sold out and only sell shoddy Chinese junk now.

I've had the pot for about a month or so. I've used it about 4 or 5 times. It's very classy looking...a nice brushed metal and stands firm and the lid is secure. I make sure to wash it after every use. I wonder if I let it air dry if it would begin to spot. I've been using it to make family sized mac and cheese and other pasta dishes...The cup level indicators on the side are a nice touch. The holes on the side of the lid are effective to use as a strainer, however, if cooking pasta, you'll need to use another regular old strainer as well, b/c it doesn't get all the water out....it just can't, unless you sat there for like 20 minutes...I highly recommend this product b/c it doesn't take up alot of space, holds 8 cups of water, looks great, and is inexpensive...

Garcima 18-Inch Stainless Steel Paella Pan, 46cm Review

Customer Ratings:

This is the second paella pan I have purchased. The first one was smaller and was carbon steel because I didn't want to make a big investment on a pan that I wasn't sure I was going to use. I have been making paella for the past 5 years every few months and I serve it at an annual Christmas dinner party that my friends and family always look forward to attending. My old pan was getting worn out and was no longer creating a beautiful Socarrat on the bottombut was burning it instead. I finally bit the bullet and purchased this gorgeous stainless steel pan that is 3" larger in diameter than my old one. I tried it out as soon as I got it. Absolutely perfect! I thought it would be really heavy once it was full of ingredients but that is not the case. Once again the Socarrat is perfectly toasted and the cleanup was painless. I used a little bit of barkeeper's and a spongeit came clean very quickly. I can't wait to use it this weekend so our party guests can once again experience a perfectly cooked paella!

I used to have a green and white Krups Open Master that opened cans in a simailar way. It was thrown out during a kitchen remodel and was later discontinued. I never liked the replacement can openers because the dirty can lid and cutting blade would sink into the food and contaminate it and just make a mess.

I just received the Hamilton Beach can opener a few minutes ago, but this 76606 works as well or better than the old Krups so far.

I'm not sure why this isn't the way all can openers work. I don't see the point of can openers that work the old fashioned way.

The video speaks for itself.

I loved my Krups Open Master 404 until it stopped working recently. I found that The Krups, which had NO BLADE that touched the food so as to leave food on the blade as with most canopeners, is no longer made or avaialbe except on ebay. So, I started looking to see what is now available. I tried some other brands. These "other brands" had the typical "blade" that cut into the top of the can and the blade TOUCHED the food inside the can. Thus, food was left ON the blade. To me, after using the Krups for 7 years, this was/is VERY unsanitary---having part of the juice or syrup of the food left to dry out and collect germs on the blade. The only way to avoid having food left on the "cutting blade" of most canopeners is to wash the blade EVERY time you open a can. This isn't difficult, but it takes a minute or two which seems like a lot of effort when you're trying to fix a meal for yourself or your family. Enter the Hamilton Beach 76606. THIS ONE DOES NOT GET ANY FOOD ON ANY BLADE. In fact, I didn't SEE any blade on it that touches the food! So, it's as good, or almost as good, as my old Krups. Praise the Lord! :o) boland7214@aol.

Everything written about this can opener on this site is true except!

I bought the unit after a lot of research and all the positive reviews. And they were all true excellent unit,....until shortly after the one year warranty expired (isn't that always the way.) Went to open a can it whirred, spun around, did all the usual stuff except the can wasn't opened. After a lot of looking and examining, it appeared the piercer/cutter blade was missing apparently broken off (altho I never found any pieces.)

I called Hamilton Beach after checking, the lady said there " were no replaceable parts in the unit." So, I've got a paperweight. I asked her what brand she suggested I buy next time around she said "well, H-B of course." I told her all my previous can openers had lasted 20 years or more and I replaced them just because I got sick of them. I didn't think one year's service with no way to replace the cutter was acceptable, so, despite my admiration of the unit, I'd have to look elsewhere.

Using an estimate of cans opened and the purchase price, I calculate the cost to open each can came out to more than 10 cents/can!

I favored the results of my research prior to purchase. After receiving it, I was impressed with the size & weight. It's easy on the eyes and I like the way it operates. Since I use a lot less in the way of canned goods than most people I know, I didn't actually try it out for several days. Once I did, my reaction was "wow!". I do believe I have the best can opener *ever*. If this unit holds up well over a protracted period of time, I'll remain a 'happy camper'. Now, for the reason I only gave it 4 stars i/o 5. Upon opening perhaps the 3rd or 4th can, I noticed something *very* disturbing. As I removed the lid, I spotted a very thin strand of metal (about 1-1/4 inches long) jutting out from the top of the can (perpendicular from the body of the can).

Promply removing it, I could only think that had it fallen *into* the contents of the can I might have ingested it! To better illustrate, I *could* have proceeded to empty the contents into a bowl or saucepan and had that metal fall off in the process. Hopefully, this won't happen again....but....anyone buying this can opener *should* be aware of the possibility & be vigilant in it's use. At this time, I really think this *is* the best one on the market and I'm darned glad to have it. Hope this helps anyone considering the purchase.

Joyce Chen 33-2046, 3-Piece Burnished Bamboo Scoop Set Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought these hoping they could be used as measuring spoons. They're what came up when I did a search for "bamboo measuring spoons." I wanted a spoon set where each spoon was carved from a single piece of bamboo -not bamboo pieces spliced together or bamboo fibers fused to a spoon shape with mystery adhesive. This set came closest to what I was looking for.

However they are odd sizes. I tried to measure their capacity using water and a stainless measuring spoon set.

The small one is not quite 2 teaspoons,

the large one is not quite 2 tablespoons,

and the middle one is slightly less than not quite a tablespoon and a half.

It's possible that there is variation between sets too, so someone else might get spoons that hold more than or less than what mine do. They're probably close enough for rough measurements, though not ideal if you need precision.

As scoops, the main consideration is whether they fit in the container you're scooping from, so here are the measurements of my spoons (to the nearest notch on the ruler):

The small one is and 3 3/4" long and 1 13/16" wide. (9.6 cm x 4.7 cm)

The middle one is 4 9/16" long and 2 7/16" wide. (11.4 cm x 6.1 cm)

The large one is 5 5/16" long and 2 11/16" wide. (13.4 cm x 6.8 cm)

The only thing that might make these better is some note of how much they actually hold. I am using them to scoop out dry foods from glass storage jars. They are classy and pretty when kept in my utensil crock, and match my bamboo spoons, spatulas, and othe utensils well.
