Buffet Enhancements Round Universal Magnetic Chafing Dish Heater

Great device
Works exactly as described, but I'm using it for a coffee urn, so it wasn't exactly suited for the purpose. There's a big red label on the piece that sits inside the urn/chafing dish, and over a few uses, it started to disintegrate. I eventually had to remove it using nail polish remover, which took an hour, because it was never meant to be removed. It would have been better had the warning label been designed to be removed.

excellent
I was scared to buy this product, since we start using it its too good specially the price its worth it some time magnet stop working and heater falls down but its ok we have screwed it with chaffer. But no doubt product is good, looking for another one on same price.

Update International SDB-08 Stainless Steel Induction Ready Double Boiler with Cover, Natural Finish, 8-Quart

Great quality
I purchased this item for making soap. It's the perfect size because it's not too big or too small. It's large enough that I don't have to worry about splashing my counter tops (or myself) with lye or oils. I also purchased an induction hot plate to use with this item, but I'm pleased that it can accommodate both my electric stove top and the induction top. The material is sturdy and well constructed. I received my item very quickly and I'm very pleased with this transaction.

Berndes Tradition 9-1/2-Inch Square Grill Pan

Great Grill Pan
I've had this grill pan for at least 5 years now. It's a great pan and cooks well on my ceramic cooktop. I grill steaks indoors using this pan and have been extremely pleased with the results, much better than any other pan I've used. Cleanup is generally a snap and the non-stick surface has held up well over the years. I'm in the market for new cookware and am looking at other pieces of the Berndes line.

Excellent for indoor grilling
We grill chicken, steak and burgers. Excellent even heat. Cleans up great! Well worth the price.

Wow!
All I can say is "wow!" ... what a nice grill pan. For a single person, this is a great size for a piece of salmon or chicken. Heats uniformly and cooks great. Grilled two filet mignons in this pan before popping them into the oven, and they turned out great. The meat was lightly marinated and didn't use any oil in the pan and the steak turned out nice. And a light wiping with paper towels and light washing afterwards, it looked new...still. I plan to use this pan more than my outdoor grill as it adds the grill marks to the meat quickly without having to fire up the BBQ grill. The price was right, and I love the wood handle. Can't go wrong buying this grill pan. German quality at its best.

Prestige Whistle3 Pressure Regulator Whistle with Weight Assembly for Range Cookers

I want a 3 weight PSI requlator
I marked this low only because I did not get what thought i was getting. I have been searching for a 15 PSI regulator for my pressure cooker. That is because I live at 6700 feet and the higher pressures is a must here for canning meat. This was described as a 3 pressure Regulator. Knowing that regulators can come in 3 pressures 5 - 10 and 15 PSI I thought I had it. But it is only a signal weigh and worse yet the pressure or weight is not marked on it so I have no of knowing how much pressure it will develop in my cooker. If any one could give me some advice on this i'd be grateful.

-It works very bad. The steam release between each level. So the food never been cooked entirely. I used them 2 times and I got half cooked food for both of them. I want to return it.

Bamboo Steamer Rocks!
The bamboo steamer is awesome! It has 3 levels instead of two.. It was bigger and better than any ones I saw at any local stores including the cultural stores Mekong Marketplace and LeeLee's. Me & my friend are using it to steam rice for the making of Saki! :)

Swiss Diamond 10.25" Tempered Glass Lid

Pot lid
Bought for a T-Fal pot that my wife accidentally dropped and it shattered. This lid fits like it was made just for this pot and it also fits a T-Fal frying pan of the same diameter. Couldn't be happier, either with the lid or the seller.

Good lid
This is a good lid but I will say I must have put the darn thing together wrong because I couldn't get the vent part to work at all. But thats probably my own fault and not the lids. Also I got this to use with one of those white ceramic pans and this lid actually made a few scratches on it. SO that kind of irked me. Anyway I didn't send it back.

Swiss Diamond Nonstick Stock Pot - 8.5 qt (11")

My Favorite Stock Pot
This Swiss Diamond 8.5 quart nonstick stockpot is my most recent addition to my cooking collection which also includes stockpots from Le Creuset, All Clad and Paul Revere. I've owned the Swiss Diamond for about 2 years and by far, it is my favorite one to use. It is surprisingly lightweight. I don't seem to get burnt food spots on the bottom of the pot when I cook stews or chili. After some initial hesitation, I now have no reservations using metal stirring utensils with this stockpot. I have no regrets with this wonderful pot.

Excellent Stockpot
Bought this stockpot to replace a 1995 Faberware Millenium one.

This stockpot is, by far, much better quality than Faberware

Millenium model was when new.

I would buy more Swiss Diamond pieces as needed.

Perfect
As long as you don't take their advice (that you can use metal utensils), the Swiss Diamond line is the finest cookware available today. Just the right weight, cool handles, totally flat bottoms, oven-safe, nonstick inside and out, really fine pots and pans. Just get yourself a set of silicone spoons and whisks (and be sure they have silicone handles too, not metal handles that you'll bump against the edges of the pots). Oh, and avoid their "wok"...its bottom is too small to get hot enough. Instead, stir-fry in the 8 1/2 Quart Stockpot. It's also good for cooking pasta, stocks, stews and so on.

NEW 30-QUART HEAVY-GAUGE STAINLESS STEEL (18/10) STOCK POT W/ GLASS LID COVER

Good pot, but not 30 qts
I bought this several months ago and have finally come to the realization that this pot is short of 30 qts. A few qts would be fine, but it can only hold 6.5 gallons or roughly 26 qts. That's a gallon less than what is advertised. Sorry to see that is so falsely advertised, especially when I need 7.5 gallons to boil my 5 gallon beer batches.

Home Brew boil pot
I bought this pot after an exhaustive search for the best stainless steel pot that could boil 28 or more quarts.

I'm quite pleased with this pot. It was the least expensive stainless pot I could find in it's size class. the pot isn't extraordinarily thick, but it's sturdy enough to hold 7 gallons of boiling water without making me think twice. The aluminum core is a great feature for brewing -- I haven't scorched a wort yet.

All in all, I doubt you can find a better stainless pot at this size for less money.

Good pot for brewing beer
I purchased this as my brew pot, mainly because of the relative narrow diameter which is what I needed to boil 6+ gallons on my anemic electric stove. Works very well, it is an excellent price, and comes with a top. My only complaint is that is is less than 30 quarts, maybe short by a quart or so.

Hammered Steel Hanging Bar Pot Rack

Perfect!
We have a very small kitchen and I am looking for ways to make it more of a usable space. We tried a bar that hooks onto the wall but knew that was not going to work so we decided a bar that hangs from the ceiling and how log it needed to be in order for it to be able to screw into the Joyce's. So planning took more time than the actual purchase! It was delayed as it was on back order which was disappointing but it was worth the wait. Quality is great and it is surprisingly heavy! We have 2 cast iron pans on the rack so we do have some weight on it. Would definitely purchase this again

Farberware Classic Stainless Steel Teakettles 2-Quart Whistling Classic

not suitable for gas stove
Nice styling and quality. Would have likely worked well on electric stove but the plastic whistle/cap melted after two uses on my gas stove.

silent tea kettle
Very nice kettle...looks nice, pours without drips, handle stays cool but NO whistle. That isn't a big deal for us so we won't be returning it, but if you need the whistle, this may not be for you.

it was a good gift
My daughter needed a tea kettle, they were using a sauce pan to boil water. So this was a gift. Just an "I love you" gift. When this pot is on the stove the whistle is always engaged. Just what they need at their house. Because I hate to tell you how many times they put water on to boil and forget. They are all very happy with it.

It was really fast delivery, I'm very pleased.

Pillivuyt Porcelain 2-Quart, 12-1/2-by-9-by-2-Inch Deep Oval Baker

Beautiful and Functional
We own several other Pillivuyt bakeware pieces, but this is the first oval baking dish that we added to our collection. As with all of the Pillivuyt products that we own, the quality and craftsmanship of this piece is impeccable - Pillivuyt's porcelain really is every bit as beautiful as it is functional.

We just used this baking dish for the first time last weekend, and I can say that the apple and pear crisp that we baked in it came out better than it ever has before! The baker heats gently and evenly, and despite the baked on mess that was left behind (not just from baking, but we also reheated the apple and pear crisp in this dish several times in the oven), all it took was some soap and warm water to get the baker clean again - no hard scrubbing, and no prolonged soaking...clean up was an absolute breeze! I have to say, I was not expecting that, so it was a pleasant surprise!

Microhearth 1.5-Quart Nonstick 4-piece Everyday Pan Set for Microwave Cooking, Lime

Awesome!
Love this cooker! So easy to use. I just put 8oz. of angel hair pasta with 3 cups water for 15 mins. then added 1 can diced tomato with garlic & basil, 1 tbs. of smart balance, 1 chicken breast, 1 cup zucchini and put it back in for 5 mins and wham supper! I didn't even have to drain off the pasta...cooked perfect. I can't wait to try some other recipes. Hand wash only, there are holes on the bottom of the cooker that cannot be put underwater. It was easy to clean, non stick. I will purchase another one so I can have two dishes going at the same time. One thing is to allow the pan to cool inbetween steps, 10 mins after using it to boil pasta.

Very handy
I like this cooker a lot. I use my microwave more than my stove, usually using a silicone steamer dish. This item allows you to cook items that would normally explode in the microwave, such as eggs with unpierced yolks. It cooks as if it were in a regular oven, only faster, cooking the item from the outside in. It does tend to get hot, and could overheat your microwave if being used for several minutes. Best to let it cool off a bit between cooking different items in it. Follow all directions carefully for safety

Best Pan Ever
I bought this for my girlfriend who is a bit shy in the kitchen. She hates always watching over the food and doesn't know when to flip something and such. With this pan you just pop it in the microwave and then flip it and then perfect food comes out. We use it mostly for chicken, and it comes out perfect and moist, even from a frozen state. It is actually my favorite way to cook chicken now. Who would have thought a microwave pan could be this great!

Portmeirion Botanic Garden Large Lasagne Baker

False Information...
I ordered this item because the description specifically stated it was made in Great Britain. It took two weeks to arrive and then it has a sticker showing it was made in China. myTableware.com has terrible customer service...no apology for false advertising just....I will send you a return label...seems to me they may have run in to this problem before and just hope customers will keep the item regardless. I am disappointed with Amazon...they usually work with reliable sources.

Beautiful
The seller's description is accurate. This is a beautiful piece of server-ware. The weight of it is solid but not heavy and the pattern is beautiful and matches the dinner plates and teacups that my mother already had from this company.

A word of caution: Ensure that the pieces you purchase are made in Great Britain. We've purchased pieces manufactured from other countries and have immediately returned them. The quality is horrendous.

Beautiful form and function
Perfect for baking then serving lasagna at the table. Only problem is it should be deeper, it equals a 9x13x2, 3qt. dish. But it is deep enough for average recipes.

Absolutely outstanding design, quality and functionality.
Brilliantly designed, with unbeatable quality, I cook and serve in this beautiful pot. It is every bit as good as described. It is even hard to burn popcorn, the base distributes the heat so evenly. Magnificent piece of kitchenware, although one might be interested in the same 8 qt. pot with the pasta and steaming inserts, where available, for added practicality. The handles are beautifully designed and are extremely high quality, like everything else here.

Good value for the money
If you're looking for a decent stainless steel pot, this is a fine choice. It's not as thick as more expensive products, but for the dollar it's hard to beat.

Stainless Steel 8-Quart Stockpot
I was disappointed only because I ordered this item specifically for the purpose of using my electric mixer in it; however, the directions specify NOT to use this appliance in it. The material is not as heavy as I expected that it would be.

Trudeau Splash Bread Dipping Plates, Set of 4-Pieces

Packaging is the problem
I have actually ordered this item twice - once for a gift and then for me because I really liked them. Both orders arrived broken the first time and had to be resent which delayed the gift item.

I wrote and called and noted that no cushioning was provided these very delicate plates. Evidently, I wasn't heard the first time, because when I ordered several months later, the same problem happened again (broken plate - needed return).

Fun
Really fun product. Bigger than I was expecting, which is good, because they looked tiny in the picture.

Only complaint is that the manufacturer box they came in was in terrible shape. Unglued, faded, incredibly worn and falling apart. If you are planning on gifting, you will need to place them in a new box.

Excellent!!!
Exactly what I've been looking for!!!!
Heavy duty nice plates, keeps bread separate from the oil. I use them weekly!

Paderno World Cuisine 14-Inch Steel Tawa Pan

This pan is 11" and has a "Hancock" company wrapper on it.
This product is 11", not 14". The actual metal of the round pan is 11" as verified by Chris at Paderno. He looked up the number and it is the same number as the pan I received. He said that they have only one size pan of that number and it is designated number of 11", and the price is as stated on Amazon. The brand of pan I received is Hancock on the wrapper. The wrapper had care instructions for a wok, and he sent me instructions for care.

The adhesive tags on my tawa pan show both numbers; one 14" and one 11". But the measurement is 11", the handle doesn't enter into the measurement as it is quite long.

I forgot to add that although the description for this pan says, "flat," though that may be no fault of the seller for their description, the pan is a CONCAVE tawa-tava griddle, and the pictured product is fitting.

NOT 14 INCHES
I bought this to make 14 inch Dahl Puri roti. I was very disappointed because this is just slightly bigger than my 10 inch griddle cast iron pan. If I could return this product I would. I don't even like the way it cooks. If you are desperate and don't have an alternative then, by all means, buy this product and see for yourself. You my have to go to Guyana or Trinidad and bring one back in your suit case, or buy it for $125 on a caribbean site on-line.

The exact thing that I was looking for the past 2 years. Very nice and perfect to use on electric stoves.

Calphalon AcCuCore 16" Roaster with Rack

AcCuCore takes multilayer cookware to another level
I'm a fan of muticlad cookware, specifically the kind that takes heat conductive aluminum, and surrounds it with stainless steel. The resulting cookware has excellent heat distribution, and is easy to maintain.

But Calphalon has taken this idea and stepped it up a notch. This roaster boasts a copper core, surrounded on both sides with aluminum, and then all that is encased in easy to maintain stainless steel. What you get is a pan that will conduct heat evenly thought. Great.

helpful, but tends to warp
nice item but it tends to warp. then again i put food directly on it when i cooked in the microwave, so the heat in the food (oil) probably caused it to bend.

too small to be useful
We found this item to be less than useful. We had hoped that it would replace a tray that allowed two items to be microwaved at the same time with covers on each item. Unfortunately, this item has insufficient clearance on the lower level to allow this to happen, and is too narrow to fully support our plates.

The Vinaroz Valencia Series 10-1/2-Inch Non Stick Marble Coating Aluminum Frying Pan

Not well made. Not flat on the bottom!
I ordered this pan since I wanted to find a non-stick pan that wasn't Teflon coated, and the Ozeri ceramic "Green" pan that I tried first failed miserably. The first one I got was not flat on the bottom! It rocked on my glass cook top like a sailboat. I returned it - thank you, Amazon, for making the return a sinch! - and it was immediately replaced at no charge to me. The second one was exactly the same. It simply doesn't make contact with the burner all the way around all at one time. I'm returning it as well. I guess I'm back to Teflon.

Rocking & Rolling
The bottom of the pan is not flat. I have to prop the handle on several stacked saucers to get the pan to sit flat on the stove burner. As much as I like this pan for its non-stick feature, I would not but it again or recommend it to a friend. Also, the handle was dented upon arrival. Too much of a hassle to return it. I prop it up and use it, but I'm not happy about it.

Great
This pan is the nicest one I own now. Its great and it has withstood my wife and that is not easy. It is great so far THANK YOU.

Hawkins Contura 3.5 Liters Aluminum Pressure Cooker

Simple, easy-to-use, hassle-free cooker.
I have owned a Hawkins 3.5 liter Aluminium cooker that my mom gave me in India before i was going to go to grad school in 2003. Fast forward 9 years to 2012 and I still have that one and it works like a dream. So when I decided to get another cooker to use while my old one was in the dishwasher, I bought the Hawkins Contura 3.5 Liters Aluminum Pressure Cooker. Actually, i initially picked up the Hawkins Futura 5 liter instead and realized that it doesnt whistle while cooking food - something that would take a lot of getting used to, since I gauge the time left to cook food by counting the whistles on medium flame.
So I returned the Futura even before I opened the box and got the Hawkins Contura 3.5 Liters Aluminum Pressure Cooker instead. This model has a wider shape that is perfect for building steam quickly and also allows for better visibility and stirr-ability of the food inside.
It's easy to get a one-pot meal started with this cooker, something I have grown up with and...

Excellent Pressure Cooker
Simple and easy to use. thin gasket bu seals well.
Nice and flat base to quickly heat up on US style coil heating system or stoves.
Easy to wash and handling is easy. Included a user manual and booklet with different recipes.
3.5 Lit on a flat base is awesome..actually looks better and bigger.
Top quality and nice packaging. item arrived on time. supplier was good.

Best in its category.
I wanted a pressure cooker for our small family of 3. It is very handy. I cook all my dals,curries and beans in it and it gets done in a jiffy. I wanted to stop buying canned beans that contain a whole lot of sodium. Now I can buy legumes that are free of preservatives and cook them in my cooker. I also make soup and stews in it that take minimum time and are tastier and more wholesome than when I cooked them in a pan. The only drawback is that it is not stain proof, the food coloring like turmeric leaves a stain that does not wash off. Otherwise an excellent and reliable product!!!

Farberware Enhanced Aluminum Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set, Silver

Nice non-stick but does not last
PROS:
-Non-stick works really well; there is hardly any sauce left in the pot/pan after you simply pour it out.
-The handles do not get hot.
-Lids fit well and are very high-quality.

CONS:
-Scratches easily.
-The bottom of the pots and pans are ribbed and hard to clean.
-We used the pans on a gas stove, and the non-stick wore off in approximately a year (not due to scratches but probably due to the heat). We are looking for a new set of longer-lasting cookware.

Great product
Love the pots and pans. The silicone handles don't get hot and it looks very nice. Cleans very easy and the price is fantastic! No matter where I shopped I couldn't find a better deal than Amazon. Now the down side, When I recieved the pots, on the dutch oven there was a manufactures defect on the bottom of the pot. The shinny, ribbed silver part was incomplete and it had some pretty deep scratches on it. I called the number provided in the Farberware box as directed by farberware and customer service so rudley told me they wont deal with it. Even though it was a manufactures defect, farberware won't honor thier warranty because I got the set off Amazon and they don't carry that set as an open stock item. So now I have to ship the entire package back to amazon to get a replacement of only the dutch oven. Amazon's customer service was great, farberwares on the other hand needs a whole lot of improvement.

Farberware Enhanced 10 Piece Cookware
I am so pleased with the product. I have been a Farberware user for 40 years and my new set is even better than I had expected, and I expected a lot. It is sturdy, easy to clean, heats evenly and is attractive. The price was very fair.

Revere Ware Pan/skillet 2-screw Handle Replacement Hardware Set (Med, Lg, X-lg Handles) (Two Sets)

Just like new
Thanks for the help in finding replacement hardware for my Revere Ware pan. I received this pan as a birthday gift from my mom and dad 47 years ago. They knew how much I loved to cook and wanted to give me something that would last. Neither of us knew it would still be cooking great food this long. Thanks to the replacement parts, it is good for another 47 years.

Now I can use my wonderful pan again
I was thinking of buying a new revere ware pan. I inherited one from my mom when I moved out of the house at 19. I have been using it ever since. Eventually, I noticed the handles were loose. My husband tried to tighten them but it didn't work. There were so many other things a family of four needed, I just ddin't want to spent the money on a new pan. I had it on my Amazon wish list for a couple years..............then when I made up my mind to buy the pan, I scrolled down and saw the hardware for vintage reverve ware. My huband (of 30 years) is pretty handy and I thought if I got the parts he could fix the pan. Voila! He did and we are totally back in business with this pan at a cost of $4.00 instead of $27.00!

Silicone Tip Utility Tong, Stainless Steel - 7''

Pretty good
I like them. They are exactly what I wanted I just took a star away for the fact that they are like normal tongs but "scaled down" so they are a touch smaller than I expected and they look slightly like a toy so I wouldn't use them on a grill. But they are exactly as described so I can'/t really be mad and they are extremely useful to have in the kitchen.

a bit short
these tongs were alright, and I liked that they were coated with silicone which won't melt. However, they were just too short for my needs. I don't want my hands that close to the heat.

Very small
These are exactly the style I wanted, but are a lot smaller than I expected. I recognized that 7" wasn't going to be very long, but the rest of the tong is in proportion to the length and considerably more petite than any of my others. All the others are the same size in every respect but handle length while these seem almost miniaturized.

Obviously they are perfect for more delicate work and a small woman's hand. I can see they'd be great for candies, mini-cupcakes and some types of cake decorating. I planned to use them at the stove in my non-stick skillets, however. The reason I prefer this style is because I seldom lock the tongs closed and don't like a big locking mechanism sticking out of the end. I hang my open tongs over my oven towel-rack style handle. If the tong has a substantial locking mechanism, it doesn't fit well over the handle without getting wedged. Since this type has the sliding 'ring' method for locking, they work far better for me as nothing...

Great baking/serve set!!
I got this set for a wedding present almost 3 years ago and I still use it all the time!! It works well in the oven, for storing leftovers and serving dishes at the table. It really cuts back on dishes. The classic style make it suitable for any decor and clean up is a breeze. I have never had a problem getting it clean. Great set!!!

Great Idea, Broken Goods, Helpful Service
As a teenager, I often find it difficult to shop for my parents. This dish set screamed "MOM GIFT" though, and the price was very fair, so I quickly bought it. When the boxed wares arrived, however, one of the small ramekins had a large chip in it, and the medium oval dish was completely destroyed. After searching for quite a bit of time for a means of having the dishes replaced, I uncovered a customer service number (1-800-201-7575) that directed me to a representative who quickly solved my broken-dish problem and order a whole new shipment for me! The service I recieved from the helpful customer service staff made all the difference. Besides the broken wares, the purchase seemed to have been a good idea!

I got some of these pieces 27 years ago when I bought a certificate of deposit from a bank.

I still have them and they look just as good as they did then. Strange to say that something so inexpensive is an investment, but they are.

After all these years, I bought more.

Great product.

Awesome ~ For Much More Then Canning!

Dean Jacobs 5 Piece Set, 5.29-Ounce

Exactly what I was looking for
This was exactly as described, and from buying the same product delicious!!! I bought 3 of them to make up a christmas gift basket and they were loved! Add this to a nice loaf of crusty bread, cutting board, bread knife....the perfect gift for someone that you don' tknow what to get and it was a hit!

Good Package Deal
I already love Dean Jacobs seasonings. My favorite is the Parmesan and Rose Marie. The Tuscany flavor is a little different but not bad. The dipping dishes were nice looking.

Addicted
I love these dipping seasonings. I've bought the container of spices 2-3 times before (not from Amazon), but I thought having the little dishes to go along with the spices would be nice to have. I was right. It was packaged well and the spices were fresh. A good buy.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Inch Panini Press

Simple, effective, and will probably last forever
While shopping a retail cooking store, I fell in love with the Krups FDE312 panini press. A bit of Amazon research, however, turned up a disturbing pattern of sudden failures in this product. Research into other presses from Cuisinart, DeLonghi, Breville, Villaware, and others failed to produce a clear front runner. It seemed that each product had one or more issues - non-removable grill plates, difficult cleaning, lack of grill ribs, flimsy handles, tendency to dry food, non-adjustable temperature, etc. Enter the Le Creuset 10

KitchenAid Gourmet Hard Anodized Nonstick 11" Square Griddle

Great Griddle for Glass- top Stove!
I have been looking for some time for a replacement griddle that would work well on my glass-top electric range. After shopping and reading dozens of reviews on multiple sites, I decided on this "KitchenAid Gourmet Non-stick 11 Square Griddle". The heavy-gauge Hard Anodized construction is very flat on the bottom and heavy enough to sit perfectly level on a glass top burner. It fits our Large (12 Inch)Burner setting on a combo size electric burner perfectly.
The handle is up a little from the cooking surface so it does not get hot and is comfortable with the silicone padding on the underside. It feels well balanced in the hand. It conducts heat evenly and holds the heat well- NO HOT and Cold spots on Medium setting. It's roomy enough for 4 grilled sandwiches, 4 large pancakes or 6 salmon patties, which is what I bought it for.
We are careful to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for use and care. We don't use high heat as it will warp the pan and we let it cool before...

Good
This is better than a lot of this same size griddle by other competitors in my opinion and so far it has not warped. It does come with instruction not to place it on high heat though. I think these square griddle are somewhat prone to warpage due to the shape. This one seems better thickness from what I've seen

It warps
Warped first time I used it. Not the quality you would expect from a kitchenaid product. Don't buy this pan.

Savoie Cake Plate - Footed - Glass - Round - Green

Perfect color
Great color...arrived intact! ... good design with the pressed glass look. Using it to display sea shells when not using it for a cake.

Purple Beauty
I have been looking for a purple footed cake plate for several years and this one is so gorgeous just like the picture. It is well made & was packaged well. Looks beautiful on my table with a cake or other confections. I will also use it to display my crocheted Easter eggs. It's too beautiful to hide away in a cabinet. Would not hesitate to make a purchase from this seller in the future.

Love my cake plate / stand
love my cake plate !
very sturdy, cakes and cupcake look great on it. purple color is beautiful ! elegant.

Swiss Diamond Nonstick Wok with Lid - 14"

Great wok!
The Swiss Diamond products are great! Truly nonstick, even heating and things brown really well. I replaced all my nonstick pans with them, since I was concerned with the surface coming off.

Super!
I plan to update this review after a while when I see how it holds up.
So far it is SUPER! I don't think you could get anything to stick if you tried. I've used it at least 20 times so far and love it. The size is perfect for us - cooking for 6 (and usually have lots left over). Can't find anything to complain about. Worth the price....so far.

mis-packaged twice
I was hoping to give this product a rave review in my anticipation of cooking with a new larger manufactured wok, but twice I ordered the same product and twice it came with the wrong lid... one 2 inches in diameter too small so it would have sat in the food. Sadly it was returned... twice.

Emeril by All-Clad E9645264 Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron 6-Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven Cookware, Black

Overall good but not great. Better out there.
This dutch oven was given to me as a gift. I am your typical engineer who loves the process of cooking.
The pro's of this cast iron dutch oven.
1. It is nice and heavy which means even heating and heat retention. I am very happy with how even it holds heat when I am browning meat. It does not loose a lot of heat when you put meat in it to brown.
2. Side Handles are large enough even for big hands.
3. Pre-seasoned which is nice but is no big deal. Can easily be done and I would not use that as a criteria to not buy a superior product.
4. Price was reasonable. $49 at bed bath beyond and it was $40 with coupon.
5. Lids fits well.
6. 6 quarts is a good size. I can cook a whole chicken in this thing along with all the fixens.
Now the cons.
1. Lid handle is attached with one small screw. It feels like some porcelain and the screw can loosen and the lid can spin on the handle. Makes me worry that the lid will fall off or the screw will...

Enjoying my new "pot"
I got this for Christmas so I haven't used it a ton. I will say you need to take time to season it. It says it's season, but from what I hear and have read ALL cast iron really needs to be seasoned when you get it. It's a very easy process but a bit time consuming. I just looked it up on google to see how to season it. Very simple and I've loved cooking with it. HEADS UP on ONE problem the lid knob gets very hot and you need to use a hot pad to remove it. I almost burnt my hand the first time as didn't realize that part would get so hot!
For the price, I think you'll be pleased.
Another note, many have complained about the heaviness of the pot - let me just say my opinion. It's cast iron and will be heavy. However, I am not having any problem lifting it!

GRET CHILI POT
I needed a new pot to cook chili and this one is fantastic. The chili was the best I made yet...Family raved. Can't wait to try the stew in the pot.

Horizon 2-1/2-Quart Whistling Tea Kettle by Creative Home, Kiwi Green

Nice But No Whistle
The tea kettle looks very nice and had no obvious defects in its enamel coating. It has about a 5 1/4 inch base in contact with the burner, is about 8 1/2 inches tall from bottom to top of handle, and is about 7 inches in width not including the spout. However, if you need it to whistle, you may be disappointed as I needed to razor and cut off plastic in order for the spout cap to fit flat against the spout. My suspicion is that this problem is not unique to my individual kettle but rather a design flaw.

NON whistling tea kettle
I do like this product, but the reason I wanted this product was because it stated it whistled. Have used this product numerous times and it does NOT whistle at all.

Great Whistling Kettle
Was a little concerned that kettle wouldn't whistle, based on reviews here, but no problem, kettle has a whistle that is easy to hear. Other features I like: it is heavy and sturdy, the top is easy to take off but still fits firmly onto kettle, the top of the spout is easy to raise for pouring, the handle is comfortable to hold, and the design is attractive. The one very minor issue, as others have noted, the off white has a yellow tone, not the color pictured here. But still love this kettle, feels like it is well made and will last a long time. My old kettle was also 2 1/2 qts, but was larger, so I measured this kettle by filling with water, and yes it did take 2 1/2 qts but that brought water right up to the top rim. Would recommend.

Nesco WK-64 Electric Water Kettle, 2-Liter

disappointed
Unfortunately, after a number of uses, it still smells very "plastic-y" and even more disappointing is that the automatic shut off only seems to work if I am boiling 8 cups of water. Otherwise, it will boil and boil and boil.....it would boil dry if I didn't come back to flip the switch.

While it seems to boil water pretty rapidly, for the above reasons, I would not purchase it again.

Water Kettle
This kettle is made in China, but for the price it works just great out of the box, it took three rinses to clear the manufacturing odors/bad tastes out of it. It works just as good as my previous Krups kettle. Hopefully it last longer than three years without the plastic cracking as did the Krups.

cheap plastic looking
if I saw this in the store, I would have never picked it up. It is cheap looking with cheap plastic interior. Very disappointed and would never recommend this.

Earth Pan Plus Nonstick SandFlow Skillet, Bronze, 12"

Worked For A Short Time - Then Died
Looked great. Pan was well recommended, including raves by Consumer Reports magazine. On CR web site, average reader review is now only 1.5 stars. See: [...] Reality has now kicked in for me, and pan cannot be cleaned or used at all after one last omelet. Only got seven months of careful use. Looks were deceiving.

Amazing Product!
I love this large skillet, and it's amazing onstick feature. I also purchased a full set of the Earth Pan II nonstick SandFlow, in the Bronze color. I'm thankful that they're dishwasher safe, and have the most unique finish, inside and out. I've cooked breakfast foods, grilled cheese and formal dinners in this cookware, and it's all awesome and highly recommended!

The bronze teflon started flaking within 2 months :(
At first this pan was perfect but then 2 months after mild use it started flaking. Hopefully I didn't ingest too much of the teflon. A flaking pan after 2 months is unacceptable. And no I did not scratch it with metal utensils. I do not recommend this rip-off.

Purple Stainless Steel Whistling Tea Kettle, 2.5 Liter Capacity

it wobbles
The tea kettle is pretty & a good price... but the tea pot felt light weight as soon as i picked it up , Also, iit wobbles when the heat is on the burner on my glass top stove top. I would have returned it for a different try, but i didn't feel like bothering wtih it. It works ok, but not how it is supposed to be.

Cheap!
You get what you pay for. Tea kettle is very cheap looking and feels cheap also. definitely not worth buying.
