RSVP Endurance 15" Splatter Screen

After buying a 15" Lodge cast-iron skillet, it was difficult to find a splatter screen to cover it.Thankfully, RSVP and Amazon came to the rescue.If you fry, saute', griddle, or must heat spice seeds, you need a splatter screen.If you own a big skillet, this is pretty much the only one out there for you, and...

Nonstick 4-Piece Egg/Pancake Ring Set

These rings are the perfect size for making eggs to put on english muffins or small hamburger buns. (like the Breakfast Jack) I have not tried to make pancakes in them, because they would be really tiny and I do not have a need for perfectly round pancakes.This product consists of four separate rings that can...

Calphalon 3-pc. Unison Nonstick Sear and Slide Essentials Set with Lid

These pans are not light weight, thin sided aluminum. They are as thick, but not quite as heavy as my cast iron. So far I've not had to heat these above medium heat, and I still got a nice crusty sear on scallops and salmon on the sear surface pan. The slide pan works just as well on medium as any other I've...

All Clad Stainless Steel 13-Inch Non-Stick French Skillet with Loop Handle and Lid

So... Most folks would say your are nuts for spending the amount of money that All Clad charges for just one pot or pan. But then, these are also the folks who will spend $99 for a set of 10 pots and pans at a discount store and then end up replacing them often. They'll also complain because their food with cook...

Lodge Logic L8DOT3 Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron Meat Rack/Trivet, 8-inch

First of all it's Lodge. It's cast iron. It's American. These are all good things.But I had to chuckle at a couple of the applications the other reviewers had for this handy little item. This isn't one of the first kitchen implements that you might put on your wish list, but it's surprisingly versatile.Yes, you...

Old Mountain Pre Seasoned 10161 Cast Iron Pie Pan, 12 Inch x 9.5 Inch x 2 Inch

The 12 inches are outside of handle to handle. The upper band is 9.75 inches. The inside bottom is 7.25 inches, if they had put this last number I don't believe I would have purchased it. The cast is good except for the handle, it could have been filed when released from the mold. The Product quality itself I...

Art & Cuisine Austral Series Aluminum Ceramic-Coated Fry Pan, Grey, 9.4"

Doesn't look that great, the color is a little dingy and the non-stick coating doesn't perform as well as other ceramic pans we have. It tends to need a little more greasing and is tougher to clean.Save 36% ...

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Stockpot with Cover

I recently purchased this 12qt stockpot with a pasta insert and cover, and I couldn't be more pleased.The pot is beautifully made, with very confortable handles (another reviewer noted the finger grips -a nice touch) and the lid fits perfectly.I used it for the first time to cook 2 chickens and make stock.Both...

8-Inch ECLIPSE Nonstick Aluminum Frying Pan, Fry Pan, Saute Omelette Pan, Commercial Grade - NSF Ce

This is a good, solid aluminum saute pan with a tough non-stick coating. It works great. So why only 3 stars? Because the handle is awful. It's just a flat slab of aluminum that feels clumsy in your hand and, because it's the same metal as the pan, it gets just as hot as the pan. You cannot touch it while cooking...

Pan Gripper Deep Dish Model

If your a cook of homemade pizza, and you have the high sided pans used in making pan pizza, you'll wonder how you ever got along without this useful little item.I got mine from the same company that produces and sells the aluminum 14" pizza pans on Amazon.It has been well worth the purchase price of a few bucks,...

Anolon Nouvelle Copper Skillets

This is a very nice collection of cookware. Nice design (I like the copper touch), very solid construction and apparent good quality. I got this small pan, which is perfectly balanced in my hands, perfect for small items, such as eggs/omelets. Good anti-stick coating and behavior, easy to clean up.I have several...

HIC Brands that Cook Essentials Stainless Steel Splatter Screen

I bought two of these in different sizes.Excellent.I like the handle (much better than the silly knob in the middle of some such lids).Well made.Fine mesh stainless steel, will clean easily without rusting.My last splatter lid had a sort of thick mesh, with gaps inside it where it was impossible to clean.These...

Tramontina Limited Editions Barazzoni Full-Clad Copper Exterior Saute Pans

I sigh with pleasure when my eye catches my copper-clad Barazzoni pots hanging in my kitchen. The pots are beautiful and they perform excellently. They have an elegant shape; a soft, but sturdy feel to the handles, and they have a nice weight--not light-weight, but not too heavy to lift or maneuver either. The...

Norpro KRONA Stainless Steel 8 Quart Multi Roaster

I received this roaster as a housewarming gift by our realtor several years ago.Although I knew it was a very nice gift, I'd never priced it until a friend asked for a recommendation on a roaster for a Thanksgiving turkey.I was really not terribly surprised at the price since I've used the roaster over and over...

Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 3-Quart Sauté Pan with Glass Lid

Unfortunately, this pan is no longer sold as an open stock item, and can only be found in sets, such as the 8and 13piece sets. Fortunately, I was able to buy it from a Marketplace seller for a very agreeable amount of $50.However, I do see that Amazon is selling it for $150, which is vastly inflated, but takes...

Scanpan Professional 10-Piece Cookware Set

We've had this cookware for 6 months now, and so far we've been very happy with our purchase.The nonstick works great everything comes off with no effort at all, but you can still get a good sear on items if you need to, which wasn't possible in our other nonstick.I've even burnt things in these pans and it came...

Norpro Nonstick Mini Donut Pan

I LOVE this pan! I have also bought 'cheaper' versions and found them to be far inferior. The cheaper pans have a seam ridge on the top around each donut cavity that catches batter and snags cleaning cloths. They are much thinner and lighter than this pan and therefore do not heat as evenly. Also the donut cavities...

Cuisinox Elite 3.7 Quart Covered Chef's Pan

I have been cooking with this pan since I received it.It performs very well. It is in compact size with very nice capacity.And if you put a rack in the pan, you can use it to steam lots of stuff, thanks to the dome lid.Overall, I like this pan.I do wish the handle could be a bit wider and thicker, so it would...

Mr. Bar-B-Q Cast-Iron Ribbed Fajita Platter Set

I bought two and they were better than I expected.The cast-iron pans are perfect for fajitas, but they also work great for a couple of hamburgers, bacon, veggies or anything else you'd like to "grill" on the stove (or on a real grill) when you don't need big, round, cast-iron pan.The top varnish on the wooden...
