You might as well just go to the grocery store and buy the foil pans. This is the same quality as those. It only lasted for one use. When I washed it it turned all rusty and could not be used again. This product is terrible.

Fat Daddio's 13 Inch x 4 Inch Non Stick Pullman Bread Pan Review

Fat Daddio's 13 Inch x 4 Inch Non Stick Pullman Bread Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this pan and it looks very well made, solid construction. However, the first time used the pan the "SLICKDAD" non stick coating came off from the lid and onto the bread. The pan itself did not seem to have the problem, only the lid. It also stuck to my oven mitts when I pulled the pan from the oven.
I'm quit disappointed. I don't dare eat the bread. I'm afraid the pan is going back if possible.
Update:
I originally gave this 1 star.
I contacted the company about the problem. The president of the company called me back. He apologized, assured me it was unusual and sent me a replacement. I am pleased to report after making a loaf the pan performed perfectly. While the first pan was a problem I am really glad the company was so good about making it right.

The Jesus Toaster Review

The Jesus Toaster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This toaster is NOT just a gag gift. It is a working toaster which just happens to imprint a stylized picture of Jesus. There are instructions enclosed with it recommending to cycle it without toast initially, I suppose to get rid of funny odors from manufacture. Also one should plan on having to cycle and adjust it a couple of times with their toast before they get the color right, as with any toaster. The primary control is an analog dial and I ignore the buttons. (I have no idea why manufacturers insist on complicating common-use appliances with lots of buttons.)
I'd love it if they would also make them for world religious figures, particularly The Buddha, and members of the Hindu pantheon, but realize there's probably not so much of a market for such icons in the US. There might however be markets for other figures such as Einstein or Elvis, so the makers should consider them. They already make a peace symbol toaster and a marijuana leaf symbol toaster but those just don't have the appeal of the Jesus toaster.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 8-Inch Bread Knife Review

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Cuisine 8-Inch Bread Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned Henckels knives for years, and with the exception of the lower end product line, have always been pleased with the quality. Over the past few years I've had troubles with carpel-tunnel syndrome, so shopped for knives that would be easier on my wrists--and this one is exactly as I'd hoped! Ergonomically, it's perfect. Feels good in the hand, wrist is straight, no stress. Another benefit is the weight & balance of the Twin Cuisine line; it's rather heavy, but the balance is perfect. Overall, an excellent quality tool! I liked it so much I ordered several others and have actually replaced most of my older knives with the Twin Cuisine product.
One caveat: this sucker is SHARP! My husband (no dummy with a knife) sliced his finger open first time he used it.

A fine knife for most bread but when cutting large, tough loaves it has trouble "finishing" off the bottom of the crust. A better design is a knife with a slight curve, and sure enough Henckels has one of those as well. If you like hearty, thick crusted bread, then spend a few more dollars and buy the 9" instead.

Mure & Peyrot Bread Scoring Lame Review

Mure and Peyrot Bread Scoring Lame
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was the first real lame I bought. I used to just use a stiff razor to score my breads but this certainly makes it easier. The blades are stainless steel so they don't corrode, the handle has a nice textured grip, and the cover is very convenient and well-designed.
This lame works well straight or curved. It took me a while to figure out how to make the blade curved. I thought you could do it by sliding part of the handle, but instead, you just bend the metal piece under the blade that keeps it stiff. The sliding part is just for releasing the blade. The lame doesn't come with instructions so I only figured this out when I found a product video for it online. The metal piece can be bent into a curve or kept straight if you want a straight lame. Either way, it does a great job and makes scoring easy.

Nordic Ware Monkey Bread Pan with Mix Review

Nordic Ware Monkey Bread Pan with Mix
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this Monkey Bread kit (pan and mix) for Christmas and decided to prepare it New Year's morning. I'm glad I read the instructions the day before because the dough must rise twice, and approximately three hours are required to make the Monkey Bread. On the box it states that the included mix is "...easy to make with just a few ingredients from your pantry." That statement is a tad misleading. Here is a list of the additional items needed to make the bread -- 1 cup milk, 2 eggs, 12 tablespoons butter, 1 cup pecans (optional - but only if you dislike nuts), 1 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
The bread baked perfectly and was absolutely delicious, but if the user hasn't worked with yeast doughs some additional information is needed that wasn't included in the recipe. The instructions say to heat the milk in the microwave until warm but not hot and then stir the yeast into it until dissolved. This is less than precise and some care must be taken with the temperature because milk that is too hot (122 degrees Fahrenheit or above) could kill the yeast and prevent the bread from rising. Take a moment and measure the temperature of the milk (a candy thermometer works great) -- optimally it should measure between 86 and 98 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, to assist in rising, place the dough in a warm corner of the kitchen. If the kitchen is already warm it isn't a problem, but if not, turning on the oven to 200 degrees for ten minutes then turning it off and placing the dough in the now warmed oven works well.
The generously sized 14 inch pan is lightweight, unlike most of Nordic Ware's heavy cast aluminum pans, but it performed perfectly. And, as with all of the non-stick coated pans produced by this company, they scratch easily so be certain to use only non-metal utensils and no harsh scouring pads. If you take these steps the pan will last for many years.
The Monkey Bread kit is a lovely gift idea, and packaging the pan and mix together is convenient, but I won't bother to buy the mix separately again. Given the number of ingredients required to complete the recipe, I don't think enough steps are saved from simply starting from scratch. Oh, and although it wasn't mentioned in the baking instructions, I placed the pan on a cookie sheet before baking, and I am so glad I did. The caramel sauce went up and over the sides of the pan and pooled up on the cookie sheet. It would have made quite a mess on the bottom of my oven.
This is a scrumptious breakfast treat and quite impressive when unmolded onto a large platter. The scent of yeasty cinnamon bread baking spread through the entire house and created quite a festive mood. The baked bread ring is quite large and would easily provide a generous serving for 6 to 8 people.

Every kitchen needs a knife dedicated to breads only so that the blades stay true. I have had a few bread knives and this Wusthof is a bargain for an inexpensive knife. Great kitchen basic investment and knife for a gift!

Ideal for cutting tomatoes, bread, and bagels, the 8-inch bread knife cuts through outer crusts and skins without crushing tender insides. The knife was expertly crafted from high-carbon, no-stain steel in Solingen, Germany, the cutlery capital of the world. For higher precision and edge integrity, the blade was laser cut instead of stamped. Each Wusthof blade is precisely tempered to hold its edge for a great length of time, so external maintenance is rarely required. The knife's unique compound angle tapers from the spine to the edge, allowing for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge. It also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength and flexibility. The knife features a riveted handle with a contoured shape for comfort and control. Washing by hand is recommended for best care.

This is a really nice bread box and holds 2 loaves of bread with plenty of room to spare for bagels and/or rolls. It has an attractive finish that goes well with my other black appliances (perfectly matches my Kitchen Aid mixer). I am thinking of getting an extra bin to hold the attachments for my mixer and other appliances (to eliminate some of the drawer clutter that has resulted from storing all the little 'extras' that come with things these days). It would also make an attractive storage box for office or hobby/crafting supplies. The base of the box seems rather lightweight, but the lid is heavy and so it makes for a nice fit and firm seal. The only con is that the tape used to seal the box for shipping leaves behind a very heavy and sticky residue that is hard to remove. Overall this is a nice addition to my kitchen.

This breadbox is both stylish, modern and elegant. The lid raises smoothly with the feeling that it is weighted (since it's constructed of sturdy stainless steel) and the opaque section of the curved lid adds even more to its good looks. The handle is modern and sleek and is attached to the stainless lower section of the lid below the opaque section. It also has enough capacity to hold several items without crowding and its size is not at all unwieldy like most breadboxes. It has 4 very small rubber feet on the botton so it will not scratch surfaces and the weight is perfect I had been looking a very long time for a stylish breadbox and had failed until now. I couldn't have been happier at finding it. I have received several compliments and those people have shown interest in buying one also. I first saw this item when on vacation in Ireland and tried to obtain it on the WMF website when I returned home. I had difficulty navigating the website as it was in German so I entered "stainless steel breadbox" on Google and was directed to Amazon.com directly to the product I was searching for!

Bread Slicer, Polished Stainless Steel Guide and Maple Wood Bread Board

This was the slicer we were hoping someone would make. After using this, we've thrown away both the wooden box and the plastic slicer we've used.
The construction is durable, with the heft of solid maple giving a feel of quality as well as real beauty. Once we got a coat of mineral oil on it, the grain came alive and was even more beautiful. The stainless steel is sturdy and polished to a mirror finish with no sharp edges at all. They guide the knife nicely - and you don't end up with any plastic shavings in your bread that so often accompanied our previous products. The cut is straight, although a long knife is required as with any other slicer. Its function is rivaled only with its aesthetic quality. We always felt the plastic cutting guides looked so cheap and cheesy that we had to hide them in the cupboard. We leave this one counter with pride.
This slicer is the best thing since...well...home-baked bread.

Please Visit Our Web-site [breadslicerdepot] {dot} [com] for:Larger PhotosBread Slicing TipsBread Board Cleaning InformationBread Board Seasoning InformationHow it is madeWe use twenty stainless steel screws to build it (strong). Compare our slicer's weight at about 4.5 pounds to the other slicers in this segment (usually around one pound). Many slicers here say they are made out of "wood", but will not tell you what wood they are made from. You can expect inexpensive, soft wood stapled together in some instances which your bread knife will cut into far quicker than our hard maple. Our slicer will also arrive fully assembled....whereas most of the other slicers do not.This bread slicer is hand made with pride in Tampa, Florida to give you perfectly sliced bread at home and will last you a long long time. The wood is natural maple, we do not treat it with anything. Please see our website for more on seasoning a bread board.We use it daily to cut our own bread.We recommend using a long, sharp bread knife that has a blade length of at least ten inches for best results.If you "hand make" your bread, our slicer may still be for you. Contact us and we will send you a scan of our slicer guide. You can print this out and then you can compare the size of your loaf to our stainless steel cutting guides.
