All-Clad Master Chef 2 3-1/2-Quart Saucepan with Loop Review

All-Clad Master Chef 2 3-1/2-Quart Saucepan with Loop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For 32 years I had been buying, and throwing away, pots and pans which had been purchased on sale. It was what I thought I could afford. Why spend money on "good" housewares? It was only for cooking, right? Wrong...
I sigh when I think of the dinners spoiled because the pots didn't heat evenly or burned the food, as well as the hours wasted cleaning charred food from the bottom of once-shiny metal pots. The $ spent on the discards could have bought one piece of quality cookware which I would probably still own today. They were no bargain if I had to throw them away.
Such waste could have been avoided had someone told me about All Clad. This particular pot is used every night of the week. It heats evenly, food doesn't stick to it, and looks brand new after cleaning. An important factor is that the product is made in the USA, and not in China. American companies need our support so I am willing to pay a higher price for quality. My wish list for any occasion includes only a piece of All Clad.

Zyliss 12040 Jumbo Garlic Press with Cleaner Review

Zyliss 12040 Jumbo Garlic Press with Cleaner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using this garlic press for over two years now and consider it to be the best press I have ever used! The well for the garlic is very large, accommodating more than one garlic clove at a time. When only pressing one or two cloves, you don't really have to peal the cloves, the pressing action does it for you! A little more hand pressure is required when pressing more than two cloves at a time. Cleanup is a breeze with hot soapy water.

A kitchen essential, this jumbo-size garlic press makes it easy to cook with fresh garlic. The unit can accommodate several cloves at a time, with a clever design that eliminates the need for peeling prior to pressing. Simply place unpeeled cloves into the oversized hopper and firmly squeeze the ergonomic handles together. The press instantly removes the peelings and extracts the garlic bits and juice through its mesh shield, creating a fine dice that would have otherwise required several steps with a knife and cutting board. Best of all, its included cleaning tool sports tiny teeth that fit perfectly into the pressing surface, removing all traces of garlic fragments in one smooth move. Use the handy tool to add fresh garlic to authentic Italian dishes, delicious homemade breads, savory soups, and more. The dishwasher-safe garlic press measures approximately 11-8/9 by 1-2/3 by 4-2/3 inches and carries a five-year limited warranty.

If you're into All-Clad, then you probably have the 6 piece tool set. The set is fine without, but the pasta ladle is a must have. Big bowl ringed by "fingers" keep everything in its place. If you're into volume cooking, then this is for you. Clean up is a breeze and it doesn't pick up sauce stains, etc. You've gone this far, the pasta ladle is the obvious piece to round out your collection.

All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 2-Quart Saucepan Review

All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 2-Quart Saucepan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the pan that my children (and their parents) used for cooking
oatmeal, melting butter, making cocoa, heating soup, and an assortment
of other homely cooking projects. It's a great all-around pot that is
smartly designed and heavy enough to heat things evenly, but not so
heavy that carrying it when it's full will be a chore. In contrast to
French copper pots, this one has a stainless steel interior rather
than tin, and is considerably more useful, because lighter in
weight. If you occasionally forget about the rice or the oatmeal, your
pot will not be wrecked - even after hours of heat baking the
food. Soak in cold water and scrape it off - gracefully, in fact. Food
can be scrubbed off with no fear of scratching the steel. Any old
copper cleaner will polish the exterior. The lid has a loop handle, so
that it can slip over the pot's handle for easy storage. This is a
costly item, but will last forever, cleans easily, and is just plain
beautiful to look at. It's simply a great gift, and by the way
"All-Clad" products last a lifetime (and are warrantied as
such).

Tramontina Gourmet Cast Iron Saute Pans Review

I'm in a process of ridding my kitchen of all Teflon pans. I wanted a large cast iron pan in my collection but my glass cooktop would not permitt... until I found lines of enamel coated cast iron pots and pans. However, most the prices were out of my budget range. That's when I ran into this great deal. I have been using this pan for over a month and I love it! (still getting use to the extra weight associated with all cast iron cookware). $40.00 and free shipping. . .two thumbs up as a GREAT BUY.

All-Clad Stainless Steel Locking Tongs Review

All-Clad Stainless Steel Locking Tongs
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the perfect tool for moving and turning over items (such as meats) because you get better grip and leverage than you would using a spatula. I also use it for manipulating items in large bowls when I'm marinating, coating, etc. The "locking" feature helps save space when storing in my drawer. The only drawback I've found with the relatively "flat" ends of this tong is that with some items, especially slippery things like raw chicken thighs, it's hard to get a good grip. So I wish they would also come out with a version which has more rounded ends for better grip capability.

Once you own a pair of tongs you'll never be able to get along without them. Grab corn on the cob or lobster from the pot, flip chicken in the pan or under the broiler, hold red peppers for roasting over your range, and the list goes on. In brushed stainless steel they will retain their good looks even while working hard.

If your upgrading from a rubber or plastic slotted spoon, you may be a little disappointed with this product because it does not drain as well. However, unlike the rubber and plastic products, no food falls through the holes. The stainless looks great and sparkles after a trip through the dishwasher. The stainless also gives a nice weight to the spoon. The handle feels good in hand.

Tri-Ply Clad 8 Piece Tramontina Cookware Set Review

Tri-Ply Clad 8 Piece Tramontina Cookware Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Okay so my wife and I got this set of pots and pans for ourselves for christmas. I guess you could say it was our present to ourselves. As this was our first decent set of cookware we were a little nervous about the price, but wow are they worth every penny. They heat so evenly you never have to turn your burner more than medium. That means that you don't get the ugly black burn marks on the bottom of the pan. We are huge fans or Itailan cusine, so we use a lot of olive oil when we cook, so I'm sure that is why we never have anything stick to them. They look absolutly amazing, The only problem that I have found so far with this cookware is that to keep them looking great I have to shine them a lot. But I use a little bit of BAR KEEPER'S FRIEND every week to shine them up a little bit and they stay looking amazing. We have had ours about six months now and we loved them so much that we went ahead and ordered a 3 qt, 4qt sauce pan, a 12" cover saute pan, and a 12 qt stock pot of the same series. They are worth every penny that you spend on them. You just have to remember that they are not teflon coated so you have to give them a minute to warm up before putting anything on them. Keep stiring or shaking whatever your cooking. But I love them so much. I love cooking and I have always wanted a quality set of pots and pans. I now have them and I will never trade them in. Great buy at any price. Only one other thing that everybody will like to know. You can find this exact set at walmart for about sixty dollars less. just letting you guys know that. But I would recommend them again and again.

They do what they are made to do well without requiring much effort. We are going to buy more stuff from Oxo. My kids want sets of their own for when they move out. It is a little hard to fit all the gadgets back in the bucket as neatly as they arrived.
Update: I've had these for a year now and they are all still in excellent condition and work superbly! the peeler is the bet we have ever had I had given up peeling potatos but have no trouble now. The can opener is also excellent we all are very happy with these tools

Cuisinart 77-10 Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set Review

Cuisinart 77-10 Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Let me preface this review with the fact that I am Italian and raised 5 children on daily home-cooked meals. The kitchen is the center of my home. So when my daughter got her own apartment out west and asked for a set of pots for Christmas, I wanted to make sure I got her a quality set that would last her for years and years. I knew what I wanted for her, but didn't know which brand to purchase. Non-stick was out (I have never liked it). The pots also had to be both dishwasher/oven safe, and I wanted the pot handles to be riveted into the pot. Off I went to the mall with my "specifications" in hand to look at the different brands and sets available. Boy was I amazed at how many there were! I took my time and examined each set. Not only did I look at the sets, but I also handled the sets. This is VERY important. Many of the quality sets were so heavy that I needed two hands to lift the larger pieces, and although I could lift the smaller saucepans, I had difficulty tilting them to the side to pour. Others had handles that were very uncomfortable to use. Then I came upon the Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 10-piece cookware set. I was very impressed by the quality. They were heavy grade yet easy to handle. They also met my other specifications listed above AND they looked really nice as well. The price of $149 was quite unbelievable. I drove home and ran straight to my computer and ordered the set through Amazon. I got free shipping and had the set delivered directly to my daughter. I also used the holiday bonus coupon for $25 off my order. I was so impressed with the set and the deal Amazon was offering, a few days later I purchased a second set through Amazon for myself. I LOVE them. They cook beautifully on my gas range and clean up well in the dishwasher. The handles DO NOT get hot while cooking, which totally surprised me. Do be careful with the lid handles though. They will get hot if cooking on higher heat. I haven't had a problem with delicate foods burning due to the high thermoconductivity of the pans; however, my stove is a professional grade 6-burner unit. I don't know if that makes any difference or not. All I can say is this set looks great, cooks great, handles great, and sells at a great price. What more can you ask for?

If you've been thinking of investing in a new set of pots and pans, you'd do well to consider Cuisinart Chef's Classic. This set offers pieces in a useful range of size and function, and with the added value of set pricing.

Emeril Hard Anodized Nonstick 1-Quart Sauce Pan with Pour Spouts and Lid Review

Emeril Hard Anodized Nonstick 1-Quart Sauce Pan with Pour Spouts and Lid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am going to steal the words of another reviewer: I love, love, LOVE this little pot! Pour spouts?!?!? A strainer in the lid?!?!? This isn't rocket science! Why don't more pots have these thoughtful features? Oh how I so wish there were pour spouts on my Calphalon Contemporary pots!
I did feel that I needed to knock off a star for the handle. It has an inverted or indented channel running down the middle, and it just doesn't feel comfortable or stable in my hand. Not a big deal on a pot this small, but if you're considering a larger Emeril pot, I would strongly encourage you to handle one in person before investing. This might be more a matter of personal preference, but when handling large, heavy, hard-anodized pots, I feel that having a secure, stable, and comfortable grip is important. The only other hard-anodized pot close to this size with pour spouts and strainer lid that I have seen was a 2 quart pot made by Cuisinart; I disliked the handle on that pot even more. If the strainer lid is not important, there are more options. If hard-anodized is not a requirement, check out the highly review and well-priced Faberware Classic one quart pot with strainer.
As for durability, I have used this Emeril pot at least once a week on a glass-top stove for the past three months, and it still looks and functions like it is brand new. As for the long haul, I check back in the future with an update.

Rosle Food Mill/Passetout with 2 Disks
This food mill is beautifully made and everything functions very smoothly. The machining and quality of the steel is excellent. The handle works very smoothly and it can be placed securely over a mixing bowl to work. It is typical of all the things this company makes: very high quality, esthetically pleasing, well-conceived and a bit expensive. To get a complete set of disks, you have to purchase the others separately, but the two that come with it are useful enough, depending on what it is used for. I hardly use the food processor any more, preferring more "primitive" but satisfying methods like this and mortar and pestle.

Fagor Splendid 2-in-1 5 Piece Pressure Cooker Set Review

Fagor Splendid  2-in-1 5 Piece Pressure Cooker Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
.....I am a longtime cook, skilled with old aluminum Presto pressure cookers. I received the Fagor Splendid 2-in-1 cooker as a requested gift about 3 years ago. My biggest complaint after a couple years of use was the fancy V-cross-section gasket, which stopped sealing properly after about a year of use, and is pricey to replace. 2009 update: Fagor has switched to a much longer lasting grey gasket (the early ones were turquoise) that seals better. I bought one a couple of years ago and it is still going strong.
.....I hardly use the shallower pan from this set, but the deep pan is wonderfully useful. It's stainless steel, not aluminum, so I don't worry about aluminum getting into the food. It's got a nice heavy bottom, and so is good for deepfrying and popping popcorn as well as pressure cooking. The tall capacity is nice, I can parboil a whole chicken before roasting it, without clogging the vent.
.....The complex safety features are kinda tricky to wash, but this is definitely a useful pan; it does a great job of hurry-up cooking. I am at a mile altitude, so a pressure cooker really is needed frequently in my kitchen.
.....Happy cooking, friend, I hope this info helps.

The rapid results produced by pressure cookers (a whole chicken in 20 minutes, cubed potatoes in a mere five minutes) make them a favorite among time-pressed chefs. This Splendid 2-in-1 system--which includes 4- and 6-quart pots (one deep and one shallow), a pressure cooker lid that fits both containers, a tempered glass lid, a steamer basket, and a recipe book--lives up to the billing admirably, offering such features as a visual pressure indicator, an automatic pressure release (which lets the chef release pressure without running the device under cold water), and a triple lock safety system that keeps users from inadvertently burning themselves. The Splendid pots are constructed of durable 18/10 stainless steel with aluminum-clad bottoms for superior heat conduction.
To use one of the pots, merely seal the food and liquids with the airtight lid, and then place the pressure cooker on a stove burner. The unit will bring the internal temperature up to 250 degrees F, building up pressurized steam that begins to quickly break down the fibers in the food. The method preserves the food's inherent vitamins, minerals, flavors, and aromas, while keeping it moist and succulent. Chefs who want to use the pots for traditional stovetop cooking will appreciate the glass lid, which seals tightly over the rims to trap moisture while letting users monitor the food's progress. The stainless-steel steamer basket fulfills another favorite function, holding vegetables such as broccoli or carrots over steaming water or serving as a colander insert for pasta. For added convenience, the 2-in-1 set comes with an instruction manual and recipe book. All Fagor pressure cookers carry a 10-year warranty.
What's in the Box: 4-quart pot, 6-quart pot, pressure cooker lid (fits both pots), tempered glass lid, pasta/steamer basket insert, recipe book, user's manual.From the Manufacturer

MIU Stainless-Steel 7-Piece Measuring Cup Set Review

MIU Stainless-Steel 7-Piece Measuring Cup Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really like this set. Long handles...yes the cups are more wide than deep (trying to get used to that)...and they are heavyweight, stainless steel...but
- I find dry foods kind of "stick" to these weird "ridges" on the inside / no one has mentioned that and I have to take special care to wipe them out afterward - more so than with smooth stainless/they are not smooth on the inside/bottom. That's as good as I can explain it.
- The larger cups balance on their own when empty without their handles tipping/touching - back to the counter but the others do not. This may not be a big deal to you - but I thought there would be that consistency there meaning when empty all the handles would stay elevated off the counter, not all of them do...and I get annoyed with some tipping back on their handles when empty...is that just me? I have to stack them all into the 1 cup to keep them from doing that...but they do stack nicely.
I like the sizes...this really is the best set for sizes. If you can afford this set - get it. It is a once in a lifetime buy - these will last a lifetime...
I also like how the markings are clearly engraved into the handles and I like how the handles are straightback level with each cup and long.

All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 7-Piece Cookware Set Review

All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 7-Piece Cookware Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Please do not waste your money on this 7 piece cop-r-chef cookware. The copper on this cookware is purely aesthetic. I measured it and it came out to about 1/32nd of an inch. That means it's less than 1 mm. Now I understand why All-Clad will not tell you the measurements of the copper.
The bottom of the sauté pan turned red when I cooked in it only one time. This is no joke - it actually turned red. I'm not talking about a beautiful copper red, I'm talking about an ugly red. It looked as if the copper was so thin that the heat allowed you to see through the copper and view the aluminum above it. Note: I rechecked the bottom of the pan when it cooled down and some of the copper was wiped off. It's as if the bottom was only painted copper color.
I have a 7 piece Belgique cookware set that's worth about $70 and I like it better than this set that cost close to $700. Even if I only wanted a copper set for display, I still would not get this again; I'd buy the cheaper Professional Grade 9pc Tri-Ply Copper Cookware that you can find on ebay (.4 mm) and display it instead.
Pros:
Light weight
Copper color is beautiful (ditto for any copper cookware)
Sauté pan cooks very well
Wooden crate is nice and can be used around the house
Cons:
Less than 1 mm of copper (.79375 mm)
Handles will hurt your hand
Bottom of pan turns ugly red!
Do yourself a favor and consider buying Falk, Mauviel, or Bourgeat. The first two have about 2.5 mm of copper and the latter is 1/8 inch (about 3mm) of copper. No aluminum exists at all on these pans - the copper actually does the cooking with stainless steel on top to protect the food. Please note these will be heavy - copper is heavier than cast iron.
Also, it appears that All-Clad sets a minimum price for their products - that's why no matter where you visit, the price is always the same. In the business world, one knows that by keeping prices elevated, a product gains an elite status and people want to buy it based on a perception "high price means good quality and elitism". Looking at the other positive reviews makes me think that some people believe if they pay a lot for something then it is good. Buy this product if you want to but I think you will be sorry. It is nothing but a stainless steel pot with aluminum for heat conductivity and copper plated for looks.
I wish I had had this review before wasting my money. I definitely will take the product back tomorrow.
One final important note:
The only real issue I have with Cop-R-Chef is the amount of copper it offers. If you are buying this set for the copper then it falls short of my expectations. I was impressed with frying onions in the sauté pan.
