I love this pan! I've been cooking for a living for more than 25 years and this is one of the best teflon pans I've ever used. Nice heavy aluminum, not one that feels like it was made out of a pop can. Handle feels very strong and is comfortable to grip. Made my husband fried eggs without using any grease and the eggs came out perfect. You taste the eggs not the grease. It came clean with just a quick wipe. The enamel on the outside is beautiful,shading from light to deep blue. I am looking forward to getting more of this cookware.

Much better than expected. This is wonderful for all the frying we do! Love it and will definitely buy it again if it holds up over time.

I hardly ever do reviews on Amazon, but I'm doing this to save you the disappointment I have experienced.

I got this skillet in December 2011 (not through Amazon). I used the skillet with extreme caution so as not to damage the inside. I have used these types of skillets as long as they have been made and until now got years of service out of them. I NEVER put it or for that matter any metal skillet or pan in the dishwasher or used a metal utensil in it. After no more than 6 uses, the inside coating started peeling out in chunks up to 1 inch.

I contacted the company and was told I had to ship it to them (me paying for the shipping). They would then review the product and determine then if they would replace or if it had not been taken care of properly. I was also told it could take up to 12 weeks before I may receive a replacement. So I'm without a big skillet for that long--I only have 1 12-1/2 inch skillet. Would they actually replace? Who knows... I have spent all the money that I ever will on Rachel Ray products. No Rachel Ray for me and I would highly recommend you purchase something besides Rachel Ray, unless you like to gamble or wish to make an investment in the product (initial purchase, shipping fees to return and maybe get a replacement and be without a skillet while they decide if they will replace it).

Honest reviews on Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel II Nonstick 12-1/2-Inch Skillet

First I would say this pan is a pan. It is coated with teflon and works wonders. It is a bit oversized compared to the standard 12 in pan and makes me that much happier.

I like the high sides and makes it that much easier to cook with. The teflon seems very durable and should last a long time.

The rivets are not coated and things can accumulate around them. Just clean around the rivets and you should be fine.

The paint job on this looks awesome...a two tone color that really looks nice...unless you got the one I did. I got one with a nick in it and someone had the nerve to color over it with a blue marker.

I have used this numerous times so far. It works great and as described. I can see the bottom wearing off first, then maybe the teflon over normal or high use.

With the price and happiness it has brought me so far, I would recommend it to all!

UPDATE 1/30/13: I would say that though this pan is still a nice pan, it doesn't seem to hold well with use. The Teflon already has scratches in it where other brands I use do not. It seems that the Teflon isn't as thick as others that I have. I would say long term, it may not hold up as long as I would have expected.

Wanted this set...but when I saw the saute pan I couldnt resisit. I thought that the pan would have come with a top, but I guess I have to wait for the full set. Otherwise I love the color, this one is a two toned blue, some are just plain ole blue so it gives it a bit more of a design instead of boring blue. The pan is a bit heavy, but my hands arent that great due to sickness but I manage. Pan is great, non-stick, none of the color fading or washing off. Would buy other sets, if she came out with a lightweight set I would love it also.

I didn't read the description closely enough before I bought these so I was a bit surprised at how TINY they are. But that's my fault. But I've used them and they work well enough for what they are. The handles are annoying to me because they just won't stay in one place. Other than that, they're not bad. The cup is a useless, cheap piece of plastic. I don't even know where it is anymore... I probably tossed it.

This set is very small. Even the biggest pot is not is not enough for a spaghetti dish. I usually cook for 2days or more. If you're like me, this is not enough, def. But I think i can use for warm-up something.

The quality of non-stick is quite good. You can use the pan for 1 suny-side-up. Still, I'm not gonna recommend this.

The set would not be bad aside from the fact that is SO SMALL! I gueess it is meant for camping trips... dont buy it if you're looking for something actully useful.

Bodum Pavina Double Wall Cooler/Beer Glass, Set of 2 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

The glasses are beautiful to look at and a pleasure to hold. There is no problem with condensation, even in the humid southern heat.

Complaints about their fragility are a bit confusing. I would never dream of dropping ice cubes directly into nice crystal, and I would not drop ice cubes directly into these glasses either; they are not Wal-Mart tumblers, and should not be treated as such. That said, mine regularly go through the normal cycle in the dishwasher with no problems. I purchased them (8 in all) several months ago, have not lost even one due to breakage, and take great pleasure in using them.

Other people who have reviewed Bodum glassware elsewhere in Amazon have complained that ice cubes cause these glasses to break. These double-wall glasses are made of borosilicate glass, which is highly resistant to sudden changes in temperature. But the glass walls are as thin as a lightbulb maybe even thinner so they must be treated with a LOT of care. Dropping ice cubes into an empty Bodum glass from any height at all will give you the same result as dropping a rock into it. My guess is that the breakage suffered by other users is probably due to manufacturing defects when the two layers of hand-blown glass are being annealed together.

I ordered mine through Sur la Table, and they arrived VERY well protected. I find that hot beverages don't stay hot any longer in these double-wall glasses than in any other glass or mug, so I gave it 4 stars rather than 5. But these glasses DO have a unique appearance and makes the liquid inside look like it's floating in mid-air. The walls are so thin that when I first unwrapped them I thought they were made of Lexan polycarbonate or some other nonglass material because they don't feel or sound like glass.

I read all the reviews and had to put my two cents in. These glasses are quite sturdy, don't feel like a Christmas ornament like someone said, and are very beautiful. They are somewhat costly and need to be handled with care, so I wouldn't recommend dropping ice in them while dry. However, if the inner glass broke you would definitely notice. All you would need to do is look at the tumbler to see that the inner glass is broken and the liquid has spilled into the outer glass. There is no way you would be in danger of swallowing glass. I give them four stars only because I did notice a very slight condensation when the glass was full of icy liquid, and for 10 dollars a piece I don't think there should be any.

I had read all the warnings about dropping ice cubes into these

glasses prior to purchase. I still purchased and made sure not to use any ice or place anything solid inside. After the third

day the score is one down one to go. Despite extraordinary caution I still notice the inner glass lining broken. There was very little liklyhood of ingesting the glass , but at 10 buck apiece you expect to use them more than twice.

The double wall keeps cold drinks coller and hot drinks hot longer. They look great, are confortable to hold and have been reasonable priced . . . at least up to now when the dramatic increase in their popularity has driven the prices up and made it difficult to find them in stock.

CucinaPro 9909 Stainless Steel Maslin Pan Review

Customer Ratings:

I had a granite 16 qt kettle, that I really liked, but after a year of use, the granite all chipped off, so I needed another pan. Even though this pan is only 2 gallon, I really liked the shape and decided to give it a try. It is the perfect size for a single batch of jelly, it is very easy to scoop out of and the last little bit you can pour out, because it has a pour spout. I ordered this thinking I would probably send it back, that it would probably be the strength of a pie pan, boy was I surprized. It is made out of 18/10 stainless steel and is a good quality pan. I used it all day and found it very easy to work with, it has a bail and a helper handle and a pour spout. At $34 it was a very good buy.

I ordered this pan in the midst of a jelly/jam making (and other assorted food in jars) frenzy. One of the old school make do or do without crowd, I had been using a big Calphalon Dutch oven to make jam because it is heavy enough not to burn the sugar at high temps. But after the millionth time of cleaning jam spatters off the walls, floor, and stovetop, I did some research and ordered this CucinaPro. It is simply beautiful...deep, heavy bottom, but light to lift and handle, and cooks jams perfectly. The smaller base boils quickly and the wider top provides lots of surface for evaporation. And it cleans up like a dream. As for the size...two gallons is huge for a home cook. That means no spattering of hot sugary mess. That means double batches of salsa. It will also mean clam chowder for a big crowd, I suppose, but I can't get by the beauty of the thing for jam making and canning right now. There aren't a lot of tools you REALLY need for canning...but this one has joined my list. Oh, and did I mention that the Amazon price is less than half other vendors?

Very big pot, conducts heat well. Have used it for making jam, blanching beans and other harvest, and making pears in syrup for canning. Found it just right for my needs and very useful. The pouring handle, carrying handle, and pouring lip are useful too.

I love this pan! I have started cooking jams and preserves (following in my mother's footsteps!) and this is the ideal pan to use. I just have a normal stove, and this fits on one ring just fine. But it is nice and tall, and a really good shape, and so fits a lot of bubbling jam inside! Next batch will be home made marmalade...

I received these as a gift from my sister and LOVED them for about a year and a half. Then, the glaze on the small one (which I use most) began cracking. I do often use them for fish at high temps, but come on, they're BAKING dishes, they should hold up. It is now to the point where the whole dish is covered in a spider web of cracks. Last night, I made tilapia and when I pulled it out of the oven, all of the cracks were oozing this mysterious black/brown gunk!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am hoping to get a replacement and that this is a fluke because I really do love the color, shape, and easy cleanup. BUT, I also agree with previous poster's issue with the unglazed bottoms sweating. They WILL MOLD if you nest them and don't put a paper towel in there, even if you hand washed and especially if you used the dishwasher.

I didn't think I would use these so often, but I do. I find myself looking for recipes to try, just to use these. They hold heat like you wouldn't believe, they actually cook everything evenly, and they are great to put under the broiler to get nice crisp crusts on casseroles.

The small size is absolutely perfect for a household of two people. It has allowed me to scale down my recipes to work for just two people, and still get the same quality that I would in the full scale version. The rounded sides are great and make it easy to scoop things out. They don't look very deep, but they can hold A LOT.

And, as cliche as it might be, they ARE great from going from the oven to table, and people really are impressed (plus, that makes less dishes to clean up, BONUS!!). Buy these, you will not be disappointed.

These are great looking, colorful, and very useful bakers. I have several Rachael Ray sets and enjoy using them a lot. Now for the issue: I have bought two Bubble and Brown sets and in both sets, the 1 quart dish has cracked in a big way. The first one cracked then broke completely in half. The new one now has the beginnings of the same sort of crack. I have been careful to keep them away from abrupt temperature changes, water when hot, etc., so the fact that this has happened twice to the same dish makes me concerned that there is a production problem. I just cannot depend on these to deliver food to the table if they might break in half coming out of the oven. Not safe either. Has anyone else had this experience?

Handle broke off in my hand when removing from the oven. Spilled boiling contents and ceramic everywhere. This design is very dangerous. Do not use. E-mailed company and received no response.

I was baking chicken pieces at 400 and halfway through, the baker cracked in half. The smoke and mess in the oven was horrible and of course it also ruined dinner. Not happy.

The pot was received badly dented, however the shipping box shows no sign of damage. The pot is damaged beyond use. I tried to contact the seller (through Amazon) but no answer. I could return the pot, but would have to pay return shipping charges. I do not feel that I should be responsible for the shipping charges. I also ordered the 17 quart pot, the covered doesn't fit, as it is warped.

Looks like I am out a little over a $100 dollars and Amazon will be out of a customer if they don't make it right.

Fast delivery, Caldero was as described, Very good quality product, would buy from seller again..... My mom has had a smaller Imusa caldero for about ten years and it still looks and cooks great. I got this one for my girlfriend and she loves it. I compared the imusa brand to other brands side by side at local spanish stores and the other brands seem to be made of cheaper quality materials. Hope they get more in stock, this is a great Caldero and everyone is asking me where I got one this big from.

I cook a lot, private chef. Bought this for myself, great for asparagus & perfect for pasta. Basket webbing is small enough so I can steam smaller items, basket hook a good feature. Added plus, it does not take up a lot of storage space. Liked it so much that I got one for my daughter. I recommend it.

Beware, this pot is made in Indonesia, not Belgium like other Demeyere products. The pot arrived severely defective, there was a HOLE in the bottom edge, daylight shows through! The metal is thin and was machined too closely. Very light weight, not substantial like a true Demeyere pot. The quality and styling is not the same as that found in the authentic Demeyere pot I ordered at the same time from Amazon. The advertising copy on Amazon does not say where the product is manufuctured which is misleading to the consumer. The packaging identifies the pot as a Resto by Demeyere. This is not a Demeyere pot.

It is troubling that Amazon does not offer free return shipping for such a blatently defective product with misleading advertising copy.

I've got this pot on GoldBox deal and recently started cooking with it. I really like it. It's very narrow so it would fit on a smallest burner of my glass cooktop. It has a perfect flat bottom a must for glass cooktop. The insert made from mesh not wires, so nothing falls thru the walls. I cooked asparagus and it was just perfect. You can put pasta, vegies etc into the basket and it is very easy removable. The little hook let's you get the basket higher away from watter on the bottom and dry it. I believe you can do deep frying in this pot I've just never tried it yet. Anyway if you on a market for this kind of cookware you should consider this pot.

Honest reviews on Demeyere Resto 4.7-Quart Asparagus/Pasta Cooker, Silver

On balance this is a good product. It is well made and does the job. I wish it were two inches deeper though. The normal length of the long pastas such as linguini are just about 1 1/2 inches longer than the depth of the pot so you have to keep stirring it until the pasta softens and sinks completely. If you don't, you end up with a short end of the pasta not cooked sufficiently when the rest of it is.

Having said that I still think it is a very good piece of cookware and I use it frequently for various boiling tasks.

I bought this pot to replace another pot I used for pasta it required a ton of water to fill the basket and took forever to come to a boil. This pot is awesome! I'm sure it does a great job on asparagus, but I use it solely for pasta. It requires less water since the basket goes to the bottom of the pot and can hold a TON of pasta. It does a great job, and I find it to be the best I have used.
