Cuisinart DSA30-20 Dishwasher Safe Hard-Anodized 11-Inch Square Griddle

Very happy with this purchase!This is the best square griddle pan that I've owned.Cooks evenly, washes up beautifully in the dishwasher, and has a very nice weight to it.Heavy enough to keep it flat on the stove, but not too heavy like a cast iron.Does french toast and grilled sandwiches perfectly, no need to keep doing quarter and half turns to make sure your bread is browning evenly, flip it once and perfect.I would highly recommend this product!

Very nice pan, but the handle is so heavy that it causes the pan to tilt on the stove making cooking uneven.

I am very pleased with the quality (heft), value and performance of this Cuisinart griddle.I use no cooking spray and eggs, for example, remain totally stick free.The 11 inch size is adequate for a 2 3 person breakfast, but larger families might want a larger surface.Cuisinart, in their product literature stands by the dishwasher safe claim, however they hedge this by noting that dishwasher soaps with lemon should be avoided.This doesn't seem very practical as typically these dishwasher soaps are scented, and I think most folks perfer this.The issue is not enough to knock off a "star" on rating as the griddle never has food stuck to it, and it is thus easy to just quickly wipe down and store away.

T-fal C1190264 Signature Nonstick Expert Interior Thermo-Spot Heat Indicator Dishwasher Safe 8-Inc

I bought this pan to replace an old T-Fal pan that my husband treasured. The old pan wore out, plain and simple. This pan is perfect for sauteing two eggs, his favored use. The non-stick finish is great and the bottom has several bands that help make the heat very even in the pan. All in all, he is very pleased with this pan.

I had bought a 10" size of this a year ago to use in my vacation home and was VERY satisfied. That is why I searched for this 8" and 12.5" sizes to buy for use in my NY home when my stainless steel 8" and 10" skillets stopped performing well(difficult to clean inside and outside).

I LOVE the ease and convenience of these T-Fal Signature saute pans. Nothing sticks-either inside or outside!The red circle pattern in center lets you know when it is preheated before adding food. I followed the instructions before first use: wash in warm soapy water,rinse,dry,then rub inside with a little cooking oil to season. I bought 2 flexible silicone coated pancake turners to use with these saute/frypans, but I had used steel utensils in the one at my vacation home with no problems. T-Fal Signature pans are an excellent value for the price. Amazon.com gave me free shipping and very fast service on these.

There is only one thing I wish these saute pans had:lids. I was able to find suitable lids to use from old pan sets I had for years.

I bought an 8" & a 10" T-Fal Signature fry pan;they're GREAT:nothing sticks, they clean up easily, have even heat distribution;couldn't have gotten a better set of pans.I had read reviews before ordering all positive &, altho they were backordered, I was willing to wait;I highly recommend these pans.

Just because they say it is 8 inches does not make it so. It is more like 6 inches. I will use it, but you get what you pay for in this instance. Not a bargain at all.

Beware, this is not an 8 inch diameter pan.. the widest diameter is only 7.5 inches.The normal 8" lids will not fit this pan.This is the first 8" saute pan I ever bought that was not a true 8 inches.I returned it.

HIC Brands that Cook Essentials Stainless Steel Spice Spoons, 6-Piece Set

These are very heavy, all one piece (no welds) spoons which I believe will last forever. If the set included a 1/2 tablespoon it would be perfect.

I had been looking for a NICE set of measuring spoons designed for my spice jars for some time. These are working out perfectly. The handles are a little bit longer than normal measuring spoons, the metal is strong quality, not flimsy or thin, which allows for some scraping of clumped up spices (which is common during the humid months), the bowl is tapered for easy cleaning, no crevices to deal with, and the measurements are precise. The price was great too! I bought 5 sets, one for me and a set for each of the ladies I work with, and they ALL LOVE them! Made for a super nice gift without spending a ton. Great value, great deal!

Easy to wash, easy to use, completely unbreakable. If you appreciate quality this is probably a good way to go.

I will never again buy measuring spoons or cups that have the handles welded on, because they invariably break off at the welds, making me wish I had spent more money on a better set.These are one piece construction, made of thick stainless steel, thus I expect them to last the rest of my life -and several additional lifetimes as well.

The slim design allows them to fit into small jars, unlike typical round spoons, and this makes it very easy to measure directly from the jar too, rather than pouring into the spoon from the jar and then spilling some of the ingredient.

These are not highly polished like the 'designer' type of spoons so they are not for show.Instead they are for usefulness. You would be hard-pressed to find a more useful set of measuring spoons.

These are very sturdy measuring spoons that you can feel in your hand. The sizes are stamped into the handle in English (and the simplistic Metric system as well). A bonus is that they fit into your spice jars (unlike the big round plastic spoons which have the sizes wear off after a time).

Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Family Style Pressure Cooker Braiser 5 Quart

while this kuhn rikon is certainly pricey compared to other cookers, the quality and elegance is unsurpassed by anything out on the market.i really like the shape of this particular model because it allows me to easily braise and cook whole pork loins or roasts since the opening is flatter and shallower then KR's other models.Kuhn also sells a pyrex glass lid that fits on this cooker so it can be pressed into service as a giant saucepan or skillet, or for bringing food directly to the table in the pot. this cooker is almost always used in our kitchen for meal preparation can't imagine life without it!

Awesome quality and it is not made in China. Great product, expensive but rest assured the last one you will need to buy. Get the lid with this and make a dual purpose item. Again the finish and the quality of this item is awesome. Great solid shiny stainless.

Buy Kuhn Rikon Duromatic Family Style Pressure Cooker Braiser 5 Quart Now

This is one of the best investments I have ever made in a cooking pot. I was reluctant to buy it initially because it is expensive, but I have been using it steadily for ten years now and it's just great. I use it to make Osso Bucco, I braise lamb shanks and make venison stews. I prepare beets with it. It handles pot roasts and briscits very nicely. It significantly shortens cooking time and I find that many dishes that benefit from long cooking with an overnight rest can be be prepared for same day meals.There is a trick.... Since it takes very little time, relatively speaking, to braise something you have time to to let the dish rest for an hour or so to come together. You can then reheat it and you have something that would have required several hours of cooking all done in less than half the time and it gets the benefit of the resting time. If it didn't cost so much, I would have two. It's big enough to make braised shanks or coq au van for a family or a number of quests. The finish is nice enough and the surface area large enough to make a good presentation at the table. I can't find any downside to this cooker.

I purchased the Duromatic Family Style Braiser after reading the many rave reviews of its quality and performance.Having owned a competing brand for many years, I was ready to be impressed by this unit.Unquestionably, it is a beautiful cooking appliance and the engineering and finish are superb.What detracts from my enjoyment, though, is a design detail that no one speaks of: the split handles.First, because of the wide and shallow shape of the bowl, they are unavoidably close to the burner heat source.They become too hot to touch.That's not an insurmountable issue.....after all, that's what potholders are for.But the problem is that these handles are also the means for opening and closing the cooker so they need to be manipulated, not just held.The upper and lower handle elements have to be rotated in different directions, requiring awkward manipulation of searing hot parts.It's a design defect that I revisit each time I use the cooker and I find it a troubling oversight in an otherwise nice piece of engineering.While I appreciate the wide, useable, configuration of this cooker bowl, I would not recommend this configuration short of a thoughtful re-design of its handles or its opening mechanism.

I bought this as an alternative to my Kuhn Rikon pressure cooker/stock pot for times when I need to braise meats and then cook quickly.As advertised, it does exactly that with very little oil and then finishes the meal very quickly with very little water needed.It's quickly become my go to pot. I think the size is excellent for a quick family meal and for smaller meals as well, because pressure cookers can't be filled to the brim anyway.The only reasons I did not give a 5 star rating is that the 'stay cool' handles get very hot and would be easier to maneuver had one handle been longer.Also the box arrived very beat up from the seller.Fortunately the item was not damaged.I do prefer the newer turn top valve that I have on my 8qt stock pot as it is easier to see from a distance and a breeze to quick release.That however, is a personal preference and not a fault with the item and I still highly recommend this pressure cooker.

Calphalon Tri-Ply Collector's Edition 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid

I wanted a stainless steel pan to replace the various brands of coated non-stick skillets I own that seem to scratch and lose their non-stick properties over time despite meticulous care.The Calphalon 12-inch everday pan meets that need and more.

Admittedly, before purchase I was skeptical about the non-stick claims made about this pan.If one follows the manufacturer recommendations to preheat the pan before adding food to it, I find that most foods do not stick.Some foods (mainly meats) stick a little, but they clean off readily with soapy water and a soft-scrub sponge.A new-like shine can be maintained with Barkeeper's Friend.

If you simply want a skillet, there are many other pans that would work quite well, but what sets this pan apart from those skillets is the high-dome glass lid and short side handles that make it a great brazier.You can prepare tender, thick pork chops that will cut with a fork by putting them in this pan with about 1/2" of water in the bottom, covering with the lid, and baking them in the oven at 325 degrees for a couple of hours. And the pan will come clean easily.The glass domed lid retains moisture in the pan very well, which keeps foods moist and tender during the cooking process.

For those who like to fry foods, this pan is a great choice.Unlike coated non-stick pans and skillets, you can cook with as much heat as you want without worrying about damaging the pan.The pan and lid are rated to handle up to 450 degrees.

The size of this pan can be a plus or a minus depending upon the amount of food you want to cook.The 10-inch version of this pan, which sells for about $20 less, would probably be sufficient for one or two people cooking small meals.Even though there are only two in our household I find myself using this 12-inch pan, however, instead of a 10-inch skillet because I can cook without worrying about food spilling over and/or make enough for leftovers.It is also a handy size for cooking small roasts with the lid on or off.

The pan has nicely tapered edges that make for dripless pouring of liquids from the pan.I use oven mitts to hold the glass lid slightly ajar against the pan to strain liquids.The weight of the lid makes this a little awkward, but it is made easier with the two side handles.A lightweight aluminum splatter cover might work better for this, but I tend to minimize the number of items that I care to wash after cooking by using the lid instead.

One handy feature of this pan which is also a negative is the short side handles.They are wonderful for baking things in the oven, and a pan this size would be heavy and awkward to lift with a single long handle (I own a 12-inch non-stick skillet with a handle, and it is very heavy and takes great strength to hold a lid against it to drain off liquids).The downside, though, is the short handles get quite hot with cooking heat above a simmer making usage of potholders or oven mitts a necessity for safe handling.If Calphalon would create handles that could remain cool during cooking, this pan would be perfect.

If you enjoy cooking, want a versatile pan that can be used equally well on the range or in the oven, want relatively non-stick cooking without the hassles of coated non-stick cookware, and want it to last forever, you will be very happy with the Calphalon 12-inch everday pan.I know I am.

I purchased a custom collection of Calphalon tri ply pieces in the past six months, starting with smaller pans and working my way up. I am so IN LOVE with them.This everyday pan is a workhorse and you simply cannot beat the ease of cleaning.Once you get used to it, cleaning the stainless (versus nonstick) is just as easy and better because it is dishwasher safe.Stainless versus nonstick is now my preference virtually all of the time.For skillet chicken, this is the absolute best you can do for a perfectly browned end result.I have one piece of All-Clad and I can tell you honestly that I PREFER the Calphalon tri ply to it though ALL Clad is definitely exceptional.You will not regret this purchase.

Cuisinart TPC22-24NSP MultiClad Pro Stainless Nonstick 10-Inch Skillet

Wow, what a great pan! It is very well made with a beautiful, glossy stainless exterior and a perfect teflon interior. The handle is a sexy, polished stainless casting that feels great and is riveted firmly to the body.

This pan heats very evenly and is like magic for a two-egg omlette. I have produced only moist and tender omlettes with this pan. I've used many omlette pans including a stainless All Clad and some non-stick commercial pans and this one...is almost like magic. I thought I was jaded and could not be suprised what a delight.

This is a real bargain. Buy and use this beauty with confidence.

These pans are so wonderful for cooking with, you really need two.

I started with one, but I used it so much, I kept pulling it out of the dishwasher.

I bought a second one at the clearance price.

I was just thrilled there were still some left.

I also recomend you buy the Farberware 10" lid sold on Amazon.

Either the glass or the stainless one will fit this pan.

You rarely find this kind of quality in stainless steel non-stick but to find it in tri-ply and at this price is almost unreal.I bought one of these and promptly bought two more.They heat every bit as evenly as my All Clad stainless, the handle stays cool and clean up is a snap.My husband loves this pan as he had trouble with things sticking when using our All Clad.I can't recommend this highly enough.I'd love to see a larger one.This pan would be a bargain at twice the price.Buy them for gifts too!

Having recently started doing the Atkins diet, breakfasts in our house now usually involve cooking eggs of some type.Our old pans started sticking (a MAJOR problem for me), so I went looking for the ultimate skillet.

My criteria?A pan that would have outstanding non-stick properties, have solid feel, conduct heat evenly and well, would clean up easily, and if it looked good, so much the better.Fully expecting to pay dearly for an All Clad-type pan when I started looking, was pleasantly surprised to find this Cuisinart pan available for < $$$.I took a chance and I'm VERY glad I did!

The non-stick surface works wonders, heat conduction is even and efficient, the pan is not heavy and not light.It's got excellent balance... just feels right in my hands and on the stove.The handle feels terrific and stays cool. Have been using this pan at least daily for the past 5 weeks.It's performed flawlessly.As a plus, it looks good and cleans up easily.

The sides have a more abrupt taper than some pans, but it's not a concern... just something others should be aware of when shopping.

The size is perfect for one to two person dishes.

Overall, this pan has exceeded all of my expectations.It's a useful kitchen tool that works the way it's suppopsed to.Very highly recommended!

This is the best non-stick skillet I've owned, period. I've purchased others and tossed them out after only a few months. I never use any sprays or oils with this skillet and everything browns evenly. Now, keep in mind this isn't the pan for deep frying, but it's perfect for browning breakfast foods and other items that do not require extra fat or oil. Non-stick pans should never visit the dishwasher... hand wash and dry. Easy! Always start the pan on medium heat because high heat isn't necessary and may damage the non-stick surface. The pan is ready to cook in only a couple of minutes.

Old Mountain Pre Seasoned 10132 Fajita Plate Set with Wood Tray and Hot Mit, 15 1/4 Inch x 7 1/4 In

I ordered four skillets mainly for use in making sizzling steaks hot off the grill.Skillets are of great quality, but the wood bases are not.One of the bases was split in two during shipping (we fixed it with wood glue).It isn't surprising since the non-broken bases we received could have easily been cracked in half by hand.

Kitchen, Fajita Plate Serving Set / B001AT5CGM

We actually bought these fajita plate sets in order to serve hot apple pie "restaurant style" hot and sizzling on the skillet, with bubbling butter and rapidly melting ice cream...yum!

These plates aren't particularly large if you wanted to serve a large fajita fixings spread, I'm not certain that you wouldn't want to use two, but then I'm used to the huge restaurant portions and these are probably adequate for home cooking. The cast iron is very solid and sturdy and conducts heat well; and I can testify that they hold up to the occasional dishwasher washing because I tend to toss everything in the dishwasher even when I'm not supposed to.

The wooden bases are, however, really...cheap. Like another reviewer, one of my two wooden bases cracked cleanly in two during shipping and I had to order a replacement from Amazon (a painless process, but it would have been annoying if we'd needed the plates right away for an immediate dinner party or something). So far, the wooden bases haven't cracked from home use, but we've been very careful because the wood just doesn't seem like a high quality. The bases are thick enough it's just that one can't help but feel that my boyfriend could crack them in half without much exertion. Along the same vein, the hot mitts that come with this are a nice touch but they don't stay attractive for very long I think the seams will unravel soon on one of them and we haven't even used them that much.

So, all in all, I recommend these plates for occasional use but if you're planning on daily or even weekly regular use, you might want to opt up for something nicer, because you are definitely getting what you pay here for with this skillet. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Buy Old Mountain Pre Seasoned 10132 Fajita Plate Set with Wood Tray and Hot Mit, 15 1/4 Inch x 7 1/4 In Now

I have been adding to my cast iron serving collection and I wanted a set (6 or more) of fajita plates.I was a little suspicious of this one due to it's low price.I read about it's rather flimsy tray so I just purchased one set in order to check it out.Here is my opinion:

I think that most of the cast iron fajita plates are just about the same, they may even be made by the same manufacturer.This plate did not disappoint.I first tried it with fajitas and it worked as expected.I cooked all of the meat (marinated skirt steak), onions and bell peppers in my large sauté pan and then transferred it to this plate.The reason that these plates are traditionally used is that cast iron retains heat and your fajita stuffings stay hot throughout the meal.I have a clay holder for my tortillas so each fajita is warm and tasty.

I really expect to use these more for meat entrées rather than fajitas.When I host a dinner party I have noticed that my guests usually eat much slower than usual, mostly because they are engaging in conversation and just enjoying themselves.However, as the cook it drives me a little nuts.I want people to eat what I spent a lot of time and effort to make while it is hot.Now!Of course I can't tell them to shut up and eat so I plan on using a cast iron serving plate that will keep everything nice and warm for the whole meal.

I cooked a rather nice 8 oz. filet mignon (covered in Bearnaise sauce) for myself along with a sautéed mushroom melody, grilled asparagus, and a twice baked potato (I know, a typical "guy" dish.)I placed the potato in a small, oval cast iron serving dish and the steak, asparagus, and mushrooms on the fajita plate (they were just a little bit crowded.)The sizzle of the grilled filet hitting that heated plate was wonderful and impressive.I cooked the steak just a little rarer than usual in order to let the plate continue to cook it.I poured the sauce on the steak and then walked away from it for 15 minutes (this was SO hard to do.)When I came back to it the food was still hot and desirable.The Bearnaise sauce that hit the plate was a little burned but the asparagus, mushrooms, and steak were perfect.

The hot mitt was fine for moving the plate around once it is on the table, but I wouldn't recommend it for bringing the plate off of the stove to the table, it's just not padded enough. I will be using plates like these for fajitas and steaks as well as certain fish and poultry dishes.Although my set arrived with an unbroken tray, I can see that it will not hold up to much use.I could easily snap it in half with my bare hands if I wanted to.I plan on buying a full set of them, but I will spend more money and get a plate with a better wood tray.

Lodge Signature SS12CS Covered Casserole, Black, 3.5-Quart

Everything about this casserole delivers. But I want to warn the future buyers that when cooking on my electric range, the handles do get very hot---probably not enough to burn since you will pull your hands off fast, but definitely not comfortable to hold bare-handed for longer than a second. This is not what I was led to think when I bought it.

Well, it isn't a big problem for me anyway since I have other lodge products that have cast iron handles. (Big Lodge fan here!) But don't learn this fact the hard way...

Got this as a gift for my daughter.We both have and use Lodge cookware and love it.You can cook foods evenly over a lower heat than normally required in other cookware and this skillet and lid can go in the oven.Best success with Lodge is to pre-heat your skillet for 4-10minutes on low heat then add your food. It TRULY does clean up with hot water and a paper towel.

I am not going to go into detail of all the pros and cons of this pan. I think they are well listed by the other reviewers however, if you are looking for this pan and wondering why the price has jumped drastically, it is because Lodge has temporarily discontinued the "L" Series (enameled cast iron) and the "Signature" Series (cast iron with stainless accents). You will not find these again till they re-introduce them with new look and design tentatively late 2013. So if you love the signature series buy them while you can or wait till they come back. I personally dont recommend the "L" series over the "Color" series which is not being discontinued but if you really wanted an "L" series get it while you can.

Trudeau Silicone Pot Lid Rest

This item only holds the lid in two places making it easy for a lid to roll out of it. I wouldn't use this with a glass lid like shown in the photos because there is no way to balance it carefully enough. If only this were designed in a way that held the lid in three places it would be much more secure. Two stars for this company recognizing a need for this item and selling a product. I don't have enough counter space to set the lid down while I am cooking. I also agree that the clip is too difficult to open and I usually can't get it open even if I squeeze with both hands which basically makes this worthless for me. I do like that it is totally covered in silicone though.

good concept of keeping pot lids draining into the pot, but difficult to take on and off every time you have to put the lid back on. It is bendable to accomodate large and small lids, but difficult to bend, especially arthritic hands. would be better if lid fit back on without having to remove the holder.

I like the concept for this pot rest, but it is so bulky that the lid cannot be placed back on the pan while in use.I guess I wasn't thinking through it's use very well when I bought it.When I use a lid, I want to be able to seat it firmly on the pan while cooking, and remove it to stir.This prevents that process.

Shabu Shabu Pan 24 cm./9 1/2" 2.1 Liter Made In Japan

True dimensions are more like:

4.5" tall (height of the stack)

9.5-10" diameter

3" deep basin.

It is probably good for 2-3 people but not much more as this is a smaller pot.Contact area on the bottom is a 1" wide ring and found this to cause troubles with induction stoves.As designed, gas and charcoal is probably better.Looking for a flat bottom version for my induction stove.The sticker says Made-in-Japan but doesn't seem to have any impact on the quality in this case.

I am very happy with this product and so were my guest who came to dinner.In fact, the item was so impressive that it never made it to the table. I washed it and poured the water in the pot while my son took down the burner.In the short time that this was happening, our guest mentioned that Shabu Shabu was her husband's favorite meal, but because they live in Palau, I knew that in order to eat Shabu Shabu they would have to go out to town.I walked back to the table, picked up the pot, and emptied out the water.I grabbed the kitchen towel and wiped it dry and started to put it back in the box.I gave it to my girlfriend and she was speechless.It was a pleasure to see the smile on her face when she realized the pot was now hers.We took out my Shabu Shabu stone pot and enjoyed our supper.It's a healthy meal, and a lot of fun when friends are over.

Next time I would get a larger pot to accommodate more people for supper.It is a very attractive piece on the table.
