I love Calphalon products because the quality is usually top notch. These lived up to that expectation. All the tools are very strong and I think will last for years. The wooden spoons are some of the strongest I've ever seen. My favorite part is that the stainless container can hold another 6-10 items so you could fit the remainder of your tools in it as well.

Just upgraded to the Calphalon cookware and purchased this as well. GREAT starter set! We love it so much, we purchased one for my husband's son who just returned from Iraq and loves to cook. This set is especially durable when using gas cooktops...handles the extra heat-source better than our other utensils. Highly recommend. Just wish it came with more options!

The edges of the spatulas melt and deform with little use and medium heat levels. The wooden one cracked. I've tossed out all the spatulas within weeks. Still have the spoons but I've hardly used them. Cheap but expensive as disposables!

Honest reviews on Calphalon 7-Piece Cookware Mixed Utensil Set

The product is okay as long as you don't use the plastic pieces to mix something a bit firmer (like a thick spaghetti bolognaise sauce) in which case the center pieces "pop" out. The fact that the center gray-colored pieces aren't "joined" to the main section is a bit worrisome as well as food pieces could get behind them even if they don't pop out which isn't very sanitary.

We received this utensil set with the purchase of a cookware set. The nylon spatula started peeling and deforming after only two uses--both times it was with medium heat and short usage time (grilled cheese sandwich and patty melt). I've already thrown it out. If you get them free, use them while you can, but I would not recommend paying for them.

First off, if you read the product name and are still questioning whether or not you need this, let me make it clear for you...It's Pizza (PIZZA) on a barbecue (BARBECUE)!! YOU NEED IT! I feel like at this point the review is pretty much over, how do you top that, two of the greatest things in existence...okay maybe if it had Whiskey dispenser somewhere in it...actually that's not a bad idea! (note to self: Add Whiskey)

Anyway, for further clarification...heat up that grill, slap a pizza on this guy (don't apply too much pressure and push the dough through the holes, rookie mistake) then just slap this bad-boy in that iron cocoon of charcoal/gas heat and enjoy pizza like never before! Just don't hold me responsible for excessive weight gain from and increased amount of pizza+ (it's not just pizza anymore, it's pizza+) in your diet. The nonstick surface also makes for an easy cleanup. (Protip: place on a cutting board or counter-top and put down a layer of cornmeal before adding the dough for even easier cleanup!)

Device seems to double as a mediocre tennis racket, if desperate.

Cannot add onto the previous reviews here it works great for making pizzas on the grill however, what I can say is that it is very versatile, in a pinch. In addition to using it for pizza Saturdays, I decided I would try to use it at the beach this weekend instead of taking a skillet all the way down to the BBQ pits. I took this bad boy, unfolded it, layered it with some tinfoil and fried up a few eggs and some bacon on the grill, and it worked wonders. Get creative and who knows what else you can do with this product?

I purchased this at Marshall's for a weekend party. I purchased the dough from Trader Joe's. I fired up my BBQ at the highest temperature. I then cooked the dough for about 10 minutes each side. Once the dough was cooked, I piled one side of the dough with mozzarella, tomatoes, chicken, pesto and garlic. The pizza was a hit at the party. The best thing about the product is that the cooked dough comes off easily, and was the dough was cooked evenly. If I had purchased 2 of these products, I would have had 4 large pizzas in an hour. What is the downside? The pan needs a deep scrubbing since the dough sticks in a few places, but I am not complaining since the pros of the product outweigh the negatives. A thing of beauty, this product. Cooking this pizza on a BBQ probably also reduces the overall heat index in the house during hot summers since it obviates the need for a kitchen oven burning at 400 C or more.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart CNPS-417 Pizza Grilling Pan

This is a very well designed and ultimately necessary accessory for anyone with a grill. It can be used for pizza, which is its intended use, and that gives a nice char crust in the bottom not as nice as putting the dough directly on the grill, but a heckuva lot easier to manage. I have also use the pan as a vegetable roaster (for things like asparagus, onions and peppers, etc) that one wouldn't want slipping through the grill top, and I discovered that it also fits perfectly in a Brinkman smoker when smoking smaller items. The removable, foldable handle means that it can be put in the grill and then the lid can be closed, and its also compact for storage.

Coolest Grill Tool Ever. That and you can take the prongs off to use in your normal convection oven.

Fell in love with it on the first shot so I highly recommend this product. No need to spray the pan, bakes any frozen pizza, even one that's a tad too big for it, perfectly.

Have had this for over a year and it is still just beautiful. Have had many compliments. Very functional. I use several times every day.

Creative Home Sphere 3 Qt kettle was beautiful out of the box. Added just the right shiny accent to an otherwise unremarkable cooktop. The whistle was audible several rooms away, but not ear-piercing by any means. Fine by me (just don't run your vacuum while boiling water!) The handle did not get hot and it poured without dribbling. I liked the in-handle spout-cap lift ... no need to touch a steaming hot spout-cap to pour your water.

The PROBLEM: after about 6 months of use, small chips in the metallic finish began appearing. Just small dots but enough to be disappointing. This was not from bumping it up against anything; it seemed to be more of a heat issue. Now, after less than 10 months of moderately heavy use (3-5 times per day), the cranberry color on the bottom of the kettle has developed an unsightly orangey tinge. Again, I attribute this to a heat problem. I have a gas stove and the curved bottom allows the flame (on high) to lick up the sides. I have had a variety of shapes and sizes in tea kettles over the years, but never had this problem with any of them, enamel finish or otherwise.

Bottom line: it's a lovely, functional kettle. Just handle it with kid gloves if you want it to remain lovely on a gas stove. Perhaps it would not have this problem on an electric stovetop?

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.

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.

Honest reviews on GreenPan CW0004525 Paris Hard Anodized Crepe Pan, 11-Inch

After using it just twice, the surface discolored (blackened) and became rough to the point that I couldn't use the pan again. I contacted their support team and they said that it's probably oil stains and asked me to try cleaning the stains off with Mr. Clean. That didn't work. I told them that the stains were probably coming off of my non-stick spatula (which has a black coating), so GreenPan will not cover it (as it's due to the spatula and not the pan, according to them).

The spatula I have is a regular non-stick one--never had any issues with it when using it on other non-stick pans. Perhaps it is the fault of the spatula. However, there is no mention on their product description page about the potential risks of using non-stick spatulas with this Greenpan. So my conclusion is that this product is premature and/or has probably not been tested properly. If you need a special kind of non-stick spatula for this and cannot use regular non-stick spatulas with this pan, that's fine by me, but if that's the case they should say so on their product description page.

Their customer service is average. They are courteous in their emails, but the email service is a little slow. There was much back and forth, questionnaires to fill out, and it took about 3 weeks from the time I contacted them first for them to let me know that they cannot help me.

I should mention that I have two other GreenPans and I have no issues with those so far. I am a fan of GreenPan and will continue to use their products because they are awesome. It's just this particular model that has issues.

After reading the previous reviews of Cuisinox I purchased a 2.8 liter pot. Much as I love cooking with it I find I do not use it because the handle is so narrow, it is impossible to pick up and pour with one hand. The narrow handle twists in your hand because of the weight with any contents. Even my husband (a big boy) found it very difficult. It means it takes two people to pour from the pot One to hold both sides of the pot and the other to control the contents being poured. For this reason,I would not purchase any more. Otherwise I like the pot.

My pans warped and luckily the store I bought them from had them replaced under warranty. I bought 4 originally and two went back. I was told it was because I was placing cold water in hot pans, which I've never done. However, the second set of pans warped also. They also do not heat evenly. I blamed my very expensive induction stove for a very long time, until a day came about that I used one of the pans and was getting hot spots just cooking bacon and everything was sticking. I switched to my cheap Canadian Tire brand and funny thing...my bacon cooked evenly and nothing was sticking. I can even cook crepes better in my cheap CT pan and this I know because I have two pans going at the same time! In my opinion...they are a waste of money and I am extremely disappointed.
