I recently purchased this 12qt stockpot with a pasta insert and cover, and I couldn't be more pleased. The pot is beautifully made, with very confortable handles (another reviewer noted the finger grips -a nice touch) and the lid fits perfectly.

I used it for the first time to cook 2 chickens and make stock. Both chickens fit easily in the pot, yet allowed enough space for adequate water. It was very easy to bring the pot to a boil and then reduce to a very slow simmer, just a bubble or two breaking the surface. I used the simmer burner on my gas stove, and for the first time was able to maintain a simmer with the lid tightly on. With my old stockpot (large enough for only one chicken) even with the simmer burner at the lowest setting I could not maintain a simmer with the lid tightly on the pot.

The pasta insert made it a breeze to remove the chickens when they were cooked, and reduce the stock while I picked the meat off the bones and returned the bones to the pot in the insert to cook longer, more fully flavoring the broth. Removing the insert removed the bones and other parts, making straining the stock a simple one-step process. This same process with the pasta insert will make blanching vegetables from the garden MUCH easier and faster, and I'm looking forward to freezing the veggies from next summer's garden.

The pot is weighty and solid, yet With a full pot of water I can still lift and carry it, which I could never manage with an All-Clad 12qt stockpot.

I like this pot so much I just today ordered the Chef's Classic 7 piece set with bonus 2 1/2 qt sautee pan. I can hardly wait to have a lobster feed and sacrifice some of Maine's finest lobsters in this pot, served with sides cooked up in pots from my new set. I highly reccomend this stockpot and this cookware line.

No I don't need the huge several gallon type pot that I use to use when my family was at home, but this is just the right size to fit and boil corn, asparagus, and the chicken for soup or stew.

The handles are very comfortable and they really DON'T get hot. It, along with my other very small Cuisinart Chef pot are the only items I can ever recall that got a comment from my husband saying.. Whatever you paid for this it was worth it.

And he doesn't cook.. just puts the food away.

Cleans up well and I don't have to worry about scratching some coating or other.

I like it. It is very functional and nice looking..can't beat that.

Best Deals for Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Stockpot with Cover

This review is very similar to one I wrote for another item in the Classic line, because the flaws I mention are endemic to the design of this particular series.

These pots come with a cover that seals if desired (using steam to form the seal). That's a plus, for further cooking process while the burner is off.

Another plus is that it heats evenly, and stays very warm even after sitting away from the burner for a while. (Five stars for this feature.)

The quality of the material is great and the pot is easy to clean in that it is made of stainless steel.

I do definitely like the weight of these Cuisinart pots; regardless of which line they're from. The Classic line is a bit heavier than the Everyday line. The Classic has a thicker bottom. (Another five star feature.)

But, it does have its flaws. The negatives have to do with the rivets, which are large to the point of absurdity. The rivets on a one and a half-quart saucepan, are the same size as those on this eight-quart stockpot. I was raised with riveted pots, and the rivets were never an intrusion back then. They were flatter and smaller, and they held just fine.

A very large, sturdy rivet makes sense with cookware that is designed to hold extreme weight. This pot simply isn't that big.

The rivets on the cover make it more difficult to clean because they stick up. The way they're attached on the outside of the cover is sloppy, and unnecessarily bulky. The outer fasteners holding the cover's rivets, catch on sponges and cloths, and irritate me no end.

In the case of this pot, one of the rivets leaks. Not only is it annoying, but it raises questions in my mind regarding sanitation. If it can leak, it means that small amounts of liquidy foods can plant themselves between the rivets and the interior side of the pot. That's not good.

Unless the level you're filling the pot is to be fairly low, the ingredients will probably have contact with the rivets. In the case of a stockpot, boiling at some point is usual, and contact is then, most likely inevitable.

I rarely use this pot. It doesn't hold a candle to the five quart Cuisinart stockpot I bought here. THAT pot is a dream. See the next paragraph for my rave (between the asterisks) about it.

This is not a cruel and unusual complaint, but a statement of fact. I am surprised that a company like Cuisinart would be so careless in design. *Another item, from a different line of theirs, the Everyday line, is the best pot I've ever owned, and that includes my Le Creuset ware. * See my review of that item for comparison, if desired.

Knowing what I do about this item, I would not buy it again. I got it here on special for under $30.00. A bargain price to be sure. But it sits in a cupboard untouched, because I simply hate the way it's made.

The handles get very hot. The handles on both the saucepot of this line, and the stockpot of the Everyday line DO NOT get hot.

I'm a cook of the old school. I always use potholders, no matter what kind of handles there are on cookware. Just a habit of mine, but it's a good one to cultivate.

There is one case where I will/do use this pot, and that is for making thick, dried bean recipes. It's very well made in terms of material weight/thickness, and the composition of the bottom, which is almost as good as cast iron, such as you, have with Le Cruset. For the purpose of slow cooking as with many dried bean recipes, it's fine.

If this pot were available in the Cuisinart Everyday line, I'd jump on it like greased lightning, and give this one to the Salvation Army thrift store.

As a postscript to this comment, I must say that these pots are covered by a good warranty, and if it were not so much of a hassle for me to return the pot that leaks, I'm sure I'd get another one from Cuisinart with no problem. If I had paid more for it than I did, I would go to the trouble of returning it. I do perceive Cuisinart to be a very reputable company.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Stockpot with Cover

You can spend easily $200.00 and more for a pot this size, but why do that if you can buy this Cuisinart for less than one fifth of that. It has the same 18/10 stainless, the same bolted handles, the same tight fitting covers, but not the same price. The encapsulated aluminum disc bottom does the trick. Heat rises from the bottom of the pan to the top which means this type of pan will heat up just as fast and just as well as the competitors $200.00 pan will and at a fraction of the price. The Cuisinart was top rated in the leading consumer magazine just a short time ago and they take no ads and answer to no one.

If you have money to waste, spend $200.00 or more on the leading competition's pot, but if you's rather not blow the extra $150.00 then buy the Cuisinart.

As the others have said, this is a well made and attractive piece of cookware. The aluminum disc in the bottom provides for very even heat distribution. The heavy stainless steel construction helps to retain heat in the pot rather than sending it out into the room. I was able to maintain a low simmer for over six hours with my electric stove near its lowest possible setting. I'm very pleased with the performance of this pot.

If you happen to get a defective one like one of the other reviewers, you should be able to return it to any reputable store that sells this item, even if you don't have a receipt. The pamphlet that came with it specifically mentioned that you could do this in California and I can't help but think the big chains that carry Cuisinart would do the same thing no matter where you are.

I like the tea. It's a little bit too weak in flavor for me. I've tried brewing it in less water but it still isn't as flavorful as I'd like. However, the flavor I can taste is delicious.

Also, they are called pods but they are just bags without strings and the individual wrapping of each one seems wasteful.

I've had this item (in its previous incarnation) for about eight years now and I have only good things to say about it. For the commenter who claims that it doesn't grind food, well, it's a food mill, not a food grinder. It allows you to remove the seeds and skins from cooked tomatoes and apples and you can cook those and other foods whole. Fill your pressure cooker with whole apples. Cook for a few minutes at pressure, cool, and run through the mill. No-fuss apple sauce. I'll cook up a half-bushel of the freshest tomatoes. Cool, run through the mill, instant gold! Use the medium milling plate for the best tomato juice of your life. Don't know what to do with those beautiful golden quinces? Break out the pressure cooker and treat as you did the apples. The food mill was made for softened foods don't expect it to grind, it's not a grinder. Know how to use a tool before you buy it. As for ricing potatoes, I like my big stainless-steel ricer for that. Put the soft-cooked (I like my microwave steamer for this) unpeeled potatoes into the ricer; the fluffy, perfect potato ends up in the bowl and the peels are there for you to lift out. This is one fine product.

I tried the mill right after it arrived. To be honest the scraper is worthless. It's easier to use a spatula and more effective. The grind seem fine enough and I like the ease of assembly. Now the real proving ground to me will be in the longevity of sharpness and how well it works for other projects, but for the money I was a little disappointed.

I bought this food mill as an upgrade from my ancient aluminum Foley because it got the top rating from Cook's Illustrated magazine. Like several other reviewers, I find that the knob falls off the handle after just a couple of turns, rendering the device practically useless. I have emailed the manufacturer which claims to have 25-year warranties on their products. We'll see what they say. But for a product that costs this much -now even more expensive than when I bought it -it should work flawlessly.

Honest reviews on Cuisipro Deluxe Food Mill

I am an avid fan of Cook's Illustrated so I followed their recommendation and bought this food mill. If this is going to be an (expensive) toy that you're going to use once in a while, this would serve its purpose. If you can a lot (several times a year and in large quantities) and make gnocchi on a regular basis, this mill is inefficient and very frustrating. I work at a restaurant and make gnocchi and mashed potatoes on a regular basis and I wish I have what we have at work. It's twice the size but probably costs half of a third of what I paid for this mill. If you live near a restaurant store, just get your food mill there. Bigger mill=more efficient=the faster the job done.

If I had to rice 10 lbs of potatoes for gnocchi with this mill, it would take up to 20 minutes (with frustrations) vs 4 minutes (fuss free) for a large restaurant grade food mill. This may seem like it's not a big deal but factor in your time baking the potatoes, ricing it, making the "dough", rolling and cutting the dough. etc., every minute counts especially when you know your toddler is about to wake up anytime from his nap ;)

I don't need to use a food mill very often, but for things that require a fine texture without being squashed, this is a great product. In particular, I really like using this food mill for making mashed potatoes. A potato masher squashes the cells of the potato and can make your mashed potatoes gluey. The food mill is much easier to use than a ricer, and the potatoes come out truly light and fluffy. The year I used this to make the mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving, it was the only dish that we ran out of. The food mill is also great for straining raspberry purée and making perfectly smooth tomato sauces.

Although I love this food mill, I have to admit that at this price it's a luxury. If you make a lot of sauces, it's probably worth the money. It comes with three discs of varying sizes and while it takes awhile to get the hang of it, once you do it's very easy to use and easy to clean. Since it is costly, however, and takes up a lot of storage space, it isn't worth it if all you're going to make are mashed potatoes. In that case, get yourself a ricer or stick to making smashed potatoes, because while the texture of foods processed in a ricer is incomparable, it just isn't worth it unless you're a serious cook with money and space to spare. If you decide to get a ricer, however, this is the one to get as it's easy to use and clean. I know some people have had issues with durability, but I haven't found it to be a problem.

It is hard to beat an induction cooktop in terms of precise temperature control BUT anodized aluminum pots and pans do not work at all on induction. They make steel adapter plates to place under aluminum pots and pans, but those units get very hot and you lose most of the precision control of the pots and pans due to the less than ideal thermal connection from the pot to the metal plate.

These pots and pans are reasonably thick anodized aluminum with an integral stainless steel plate on the bottom. Since the plate is fused to the aluminum, there is very good thermal contact and the full benefit of induction can be realized. The great thermal conduction of aluminum is also provided.

The surface is non-stick but it is too new to determine how long it will last.

I had many Calphalon pots and pans that were eventually replaced by All-Clad pots and pans, but I really had nothing that had the same functionality as this pan. I wanted something that I could make risotto and polenta in, and that might serve as a small wok. I have lusted after the All-Clad sauciers for a time, but just didn't think I would use them enough to justify their well-over $100 price.

I bought this pot at a substantial discount (about $31 versus a $75 list price). When it arrived, I was a bit surprised at how light it was. I also bought the twin frying pan set, and the 12-inch pan has a very thick plate on the bottom, which makes it a comparable weight to an All-Clad pan of similar size. The 10-inch pan and this pot seem a bit lighter than equivalent All-Clad products. This initially caused some concern. Others have pointed out that the pot lacks the helper handle. The photos that are provided carefully crop off the helper handle, but the rivets that attach it are still evident in the photos and are absent on the product that shipped. (Amazon, would it really be that difficult to get a high school intern to take or scan a picture of the actual pot? Really? It is not that I was expecting or wanted rivets, just that after so many comments you could perhaps address the matter.) I don't know if the handle was on an earlier version of the pot and removed to reduce the cost. Perhaps manufacturing it in Thailand also reduced costs. At least in this case the product seems well made, and the cost savings result in an affordable fairly priced product.

The first few cooking attempts have been very successful. The curved corners at the bottom are very useful for dishes like risotto and polenta (and would probably be useful if you were making oatmeal for a small army) that require frequent or continuous stirring. I can imagine a number of other dishes that would benefit. The handle of the Infinite version of this pot is very thoughtfully designed. The cutouts where the handle joins the body of the pot limit the amount of metal through which heat can flow, and for stovetop cooking the handles do not get excessively hot. Although I have not used the pot in the oven, the ability to expose the handles to temperatures as high as 500°F is a bonus, and an advantage compared to the newer (Elite?) line, which has more modest temperature capabilities.

Despite warnings in other reviews for other products from this line that the nonstick was not very long-lived and that one could not use olive oil, this has not been my short-term experience with any of this line of cookware, and is actually inconsistent with the instructions that came with the product. Olive oil is fine, and it is what I most often cook with. Clean-up is a breeze. I will update this review if things change. For most things that I have cooked, the weight of the food was not sufficient to make me wish for a helper handle. For someone who is of smaller frame, I could see that the lack of a helper handle might become an issue if you prepare a full pot of something. I have prepared curries and risottos that have filled the pot and it does get a bit heavy in that case.

If there is any additional disappointment, and it is relatively small, it is that there is no lid. Again, it was not an issue of expecting one. I have enough other cookware that I can probably find a lid that fits, but it would be nice if Amazon/Circulon linked the pan to a specific lid directly in their ad for the product. It might increase the flexibility of the pot and allow use for braising and other cooking methods for which a tight-fitting lid/cover would be necessary. It is not obvious that there is a lid specifically designed for this pot, or at least my limited search for one was unsuccessful.

Overall, for what I paid I think it is a very decent value and the pot functions quite well. If I were just starting out equipping a kitchen, or wanted to buy a friend or child who is moving into their first apartment some decent cookware, this line would be on my list. Would I prefer an All-Clad? Maybe, although my experience with All-Clad is that their nonstick coating peels. Would I prefer Mauviel? Yes, but not the $300 price tag or the handwashing. So I strongly recommend the all-purpose pot as long as the reservations that I have listed aren't things that will bother you or affect your intended uses.

Best Deals for Circulon Infinite Hard Anodized Nonstick 4-1/2-Quart Extra Deep All

This pan is great. It's big enough to use for many things like stir fry, making soups, boiling or making other one pan dishes. The size is almost 11" across at the top and 5" deep. I just bought an induction cook-top and really love it. I have an 8" Circulon Infinite fry pan and frying eggs and bacon for breakfast is fast and easy.

The quality of these pans are excellent compared to so-called name brands. The handles are heavy and solid chrome and the induction base is aluminum clad over steel. They are well worth the price and you can use them with any type of stove.

Between this pan and an 8" Infinite skillet I cook everything from fried eggs to stir fry to making gumbo. I cook everything now on my induction cooktop. It is superfast and doesn't heat up the kitchen.

One afternoon I was watching Rachel Ray peddle her wares on qvc and her square pan caught my eye. I thought it cost a little more than I wanted to spend on a product that I was just trying out, so I came to Amazon and ordered this loaf pan instead! I'm not a serious cook/baker, but I definitely do more than my share of homemade meals. In the last month that I've owned this, I've made everything from banana and cornbread bread to cheesy casserole to pot roast to brownies in this pan and they all came out great! (Ok, in full disclosure the roast WAS a lil bit dry...) I've also used this pan as a serving dish it's wonderful for keeping breads warm!!

I live at a fairly high altitude and cooking in metal or glass (or even oven-safe latex) is always a challenge. I also have limited storage space, so I have to be *very* careful with whatever ceramics I have in my kitchen. I use ceramics from bargain basement Ikea to Emile Henry, and RR stoneware has cooked the most evenly and has cleaned up the absolute BEST out of everything. It also doesn't take up much cabinet space and is safe (when lined) to stack cups and small kitchen knick knacks inside.

While I really love this baker, the only drawbacks to this stoneware are: obviously it's breakable, the handles are VERY small (can't fit fingers through a pot older... BUT the curved edges make this easier to hold), and during the first use these is a paint/chemical smell (as with many new products these days). Also these are made in China (NOT the US, not Europe, etc.), so be warned if that is a deal breaker for you.

Here is the information that I consider vital when choosing a new product like this, and which is often omitted by both Amazon and reviewers. Will the dimensions match what I have been using, or not? The exact inside dimensions at the curve are 2-5/8" X 9-1/8". This is your maximum fill level. The lower edge of the holes are higher than the curve at 2-9/16". The bottom measured just at where the sides flatten out is 8-5/8" X 4-3/4". I was looking to replace my rusty 9 X 5 X 3" loaf pan with stainless, but could not find stainless in that size, and after ordering a stainless pan that turned out to be Barbie sized I decided to try this. As for volume this pan is almost exactly 1/2 cup less than my old loaf pan when water starts over that curve. Botton line, I can live with it. If it were 3" at the curve and holes it would have been a 5 star Pan.

It's so hard to find slow cooker with temperature measurements. They are always, high, low, and warm and take forever to get up to temp. You get results right away with this. Easy clean up as well.

This is my 2nd 6 Quart Nesco Roaster. My 1st still works and I gave it to a friend it is 25 years old. I wanted the new one due to the glass lid. Use it at least once every 2 weeks, it is the best! I also own the 12 quart and 18 quart Nesco Roasters.

This is a great cooker. It slow cooks, fast cooks and everything in between. One reason I picked it was the non-stick cook pot.

Nothing sticks, the cleanup is easy and quick and it is so lightweight compared to the older crockery type. Also unbreakable.

Love the size and shape too.

Best Konitz Classic Chalk Talk 12-Ounce Mug, Black, Gift Boxed Deals

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I bought this mug for my brother's 6th birthday and he LOVES it! It works wonderfully and wipes cleanly. It really does act just like a chalkboard, without the uncomfortable texture, and no "nails on the chalkboard" sounds. Pretty much any chalk works; it's very thick and sturdy-feeling, and has done just well in the microwave. I absolutely LOVE this mug, and so does the rest of my family. They're all very jealous and want one of their own :)

This is a great gift!

I bought these for my 3 yr old and my 5 yr old. They loved them. I wasn't surprised that my 16 yr old wanted one of her own. Very nice mugs.

The downside of the Chalk Mug is that when you wright something with chalk and you pour for example cold water to drink, since it's so cold the chalk starts to come off.

The mug is great, it was a gift for my girlfriend to have it at work and she loves it.

You can erase the message and write a new one every time.

The chalk is a little "weird" but it works OK.

I own five pieces of this cookware branded Magnalite. Four pieces were my mother's. She had them for over thirty years. They were made and marked by General Housewares Corp (GHC), an Indiana company, at their plant in Sidney, Ohio. The fifth piece was made there too but not by GHC and that's the problem. GHC made Magnalite up until 1995 when they sold the name Magnalite and the plant. The fourth piece I own was made in Ohio after 1995 by another company. Though it looks similiar in design, it is measurably half the thickness and weight of my mother's pieces. There is also another company that is using the name Magnalite that is making them in China. Replacement parts for the new Magnalite will not fit the original old pieces. So todays Magnalite is not the same as your mother's. Be advised.

My mother has had this line since she was married in 1970. They have been through everything from burnt-on peanut brittle syrup that required a few hours of steel wool and elbow grease to remove to 35 years of dishwasher cleanings. I expect she'll go to her grave with these pots. I, on the other hand, was married four years ago and recieved a "top-of-the-line" brand of cookware that has a non-stick coating that cost the same as this set. I've now had to replace the non-stick pans because the coating has started to peel, and my pans have never heated as evenly as those of my mother's. I've invested in Magnalites, and I expect they'll be the last cookware I'll ever buy.

This is not like my mother's original Magnalite Cookware set. Its lighter in weight for sure! Not overly pleased with the set. Not up to the standards of the old Magnalite, in my opinion.

Honest reviews on Magnalite Classic 13-Piece Cookware Set

I have an original set of this cookware that I purchased around 1963. I have always liked it but I wanted new because it was getting so pitted from so many years of use. I like the new set just as much. it is not as heavy but other then that I think it works as well as the original that has been pased down to my son.

The solid contruction and well machined lids make these a joy to use. We didn't want high maint. type of cookware just a high quality, easy to use and maintain product that looks good on the pot racks but cooks well every day. Boy we are impressed! These cook with even heat and the only negative found was that the lids fit so well you have remember to take them off befor the dish cools or a vacume can form inside requiring reheat to remove the lid. They are easy to clean and a dream to handle.
