Calphalon Contemporary 8-Inch Bread Knife Review

Calphalon Contemporary 8-Inch Bread Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A bread knife is a specialized tool -- you really can't use it for much other than cutting bread. It's tempting to purchase just any bread knife. But this is forged, rather than stamped, and the reduced flexing of the blade goes a long way towards making the slice the slice you wanted rather than what you happened to get. Functionally, this knife is beyond reproach. Even with crusty breads, the crumbs are minimized.
It does not use the traditional three-rivet handle -- the handle is molded. But it is a full tang, and there's no reason to expect any loss in longevity.
I gave this four, rather than five, stars primarily on the basis of the appearance of the blade -- but this is a matter of personal taste. Unlike knives used in the kitchen (where getting the job done is the job, and the appearance is not particularly important) a bread knife is likely to be used before guests. The utilitarian appearance of the blade is entirely appropriate to my tastes, however it may not appeal to those who expect a highly-polished appearance. Also (and this is visible from the photos) this bread knife does not have an offset handle, which may be awkward with large cutting boards.

With its sharp, serrated teeth and comfortable handle, this Bread Knife from Calphalon makes it easy to cut through crunchy sourdough without crushing the tender crumb. The eight inch serrated blade is also handy for slicing delicate Angel Food cake, pound cake and meatloaf.

No parts to separate or absorb moisture Solid steel handle uniquely contoured for one-size-fits-all comfort High carbon, no-stain German steel from tip to tang. Sharpens more easily than ordinary stainless and maintains its edge longer. Resists rust, stains, discoloration Each knife type individually balanced for efficiency and comfort Fully tapered from cutting edge to spine and from tip to heel for superior strength and greater cutting versatility Hand-ground to a perfect, equal edge and fine satin finish

I've been wanting this pan for a while now, so when I found it on sale for $8.50 at a retail store I had to buy it. It's beautiful, brown on the inside and olive on the outside. I would have no reservations setting it on the table for company. For the maiden voyage I just made a loaf of cinnamon bread, and it rose and browned wonderfully. Since the description only spoke of quick breads I was hesitant, but if you're a yeast bread baker buy this pan! The only downside is that it's made in China (but most things are these days), so I hope that the quality control is strict because it is glazed and I wouldn't want any toxic colorants to be used in the glaze. (I bought this to get away from my aluminum loaf pans, so I really don't want to trade one toxin for another.)

Bought the Chefs Choice 610 food slicer, then saw the Waring FS150 (similar but a Professional model with larger motor) for $30 less an hour later. Bought that one also with intent to look up reviews online and decide at home. After reading reviews (great reviews for Chefs Choice, awful reviews for the Waring) and instruction manuals on both (still can't believe you can't run the Waring for more than 10 minutes at a time and the poor design for cleanup) decided to keep the Chefs Choice. Used it to slice roast beef, swiss cheese and baked turkey breast. Worked extremely well on all and the unit is extremely easy to use. Cleanup took about 5 minutes total. Unit is a little larger than I would have liked, but all the food slicers have similar dimensions. Well worth the extra $30.

With all structural components made of cast aluminum and stainless steel, this versatile, rugged slicer features a powerful, cool-running, high-torque electric motor and reliable, smooth gears for slicing with ease and confidence. The slicer's tilted food carriage and cantilever design provide fast, efficient slicing, delivering sliced food directly to large trays or platters. Its large-capacity food carriage retracts fully to permit slicing of extra-large roasts, hams, and other foods, while its 7-inch, multi-purpose, stainless-steel blade slices a wide variety of foods from deli-thin to approximately 1-inch thick slices. The unit's blade, food carriage, food pusher, food deflector, and thickness guide all remove for easy cleaning, while, for added security, the food carriage locks into position limiting access to the blade when the unit is not in use. Other convenient features include the slicer's intermittent "on/off" switch and its handy cord storage. A serving tray is included. The slicer measures 15 by 10-1/2 by 10-4/5 inches and carries a 1-year limited warranty.

BIA Cordon Bleu Bistro Set of 4, White Review

BIA Cordon Bleu Bistro Set of 4, White

I wanted 20 large white plates with a rim for an upcoming party that will be served Buffet style. I bought 4 of these plates from Warehouse Deals to check them out before ordering all 20. Two of the plates arrived broken and Amazon very efficiently refunded my money. The plates are lovely, very white, a great size and a nice wide rim, however they are so heavy that they are not at all suitable for a buffet. I tried to weigh the plate on a 16 oz. food scale but it was way too heavy. These plates are heavier than Fiestaware plates and it feels as if 1 of these plates weighs the same as 2 of my every day Spode dishes.
Because these plates are so thick and because they have a rim on the bottom a stack of them would be higher than most other plates. I also discovered prices on the internet as low as Two eighty-seven per plate. The plates are FRENCH in name only, they are made in CHINA.

Nordic Ware Large 1-1/2 Pound Loaf Pan Review

Nordic Ware Large 1-1/2 Pound Loaf Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I decided to return to shiny aluminum baking pans when I discovered that dark, non-stick pans didn't turn out nicely browned baked goods. When it came to a new loaf pan, many of the shiny pans I considered had drawbacks: they were steel, which rusts; they had seams that were hard to clean; they were often flimsy and dented easily, and none was large enough to hold a full batch of batter. Not so with the Nordic Ware large loaf pan. This heavy-duty aluminum pan means business--the larger size is perfect for virtually every recipe, and the shiny surface produces great results and cleans up nicely. I've since added the muffin pan, rectangular baking pan, and quarter-size sheet cake pan to my collection of essential bakeware, and I remain impressed with Nordic Ware's outstanding quality and reasonable price.

Pacific Merchants Acaciaware Baguette Tray Review

Pacific Merchants Acaciaware Baguette Tray
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This tray is wonderful, not only for a loaf of bread, but for other types of appetizers, and even decoration! (I use one to place shells that I have as decorations in one of my bathrooms). The size is just perfect: not too big, and not too small. The wood has a soft, inviting feel to it. The only drawback is that it is a really soft wood and thus quite delicate. I broke a small piece at one corner when holding it full from one side only. I was able to glue it back and since it chipped from below, it does not show much. However, the price is so affordable that I am buying another. I am becoming a fan of acacia wood!

Acaciaware, by Pacific Merchants, is the highest quality and best valued Acacia woodenware available on the market; the bowls are hand turned from one solid piece of Acacia hardwood and the serving pieces are hand carved, making each one a unique, sculptured work of art. Acaciaware is a dense, naturally resinous hardwood which, by its very nature, resists penetration by water and will not absorb stains or odors. Use the Acaciaware Baguette Tray every day and use it on special occasions – the exquisite craftsmanship, gorgeous color and natural design will make a special occasion out of any occasion. Acaciaware also means easy care. Hand wash with warm soapy water and air dry. It doesn\'t typically require oil but, if for some reason it appears to be drying out, simply use a non-toxic mineral oil to restore the wood grain to its original beauty. Creating high quality woodenware is not Pacific Merchants only concern, they are also concerned about the environment. Their wood sources do not harm the environment by using slash and burn methods of harvesting trees. All of their wood is harvested with care meaning that the trees they use are harvested legally from privately owned lands, which are highly regulated and monitored by the government.

Pan is great for baking but....

Canape Bread Molds Review

Canape Bread Molds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have to admit I was a little skeptical about using these, so when I finally did, I was pleasantly surprised. The breads came out of the molds very easily, and had a very nice, even light golden color all the way around and in every nook & cranny. The bread sliced up in perfect, thin little slices for canapes, with a tight crumb and virtually no crust.
My only major complaint is with the recipe on the box. First, there's no measurement for salt (but the instructions call for it); and in the end, the dough did not completely fill the molds, in the rising or baking. Consequently, when I removed the breads from the molds, 3/4 of each loaf was perfectly shaped, then tapered down to a narrow rounded end which had not risen to fill the mold. Next time, I'm going to try my own bread recipe.
The only other problem is that while the end caps come off easily enough, they are pretty difficult to put on (round caps for star, flower, & heart-shaped molds). This also enables to the molds to roll around on the baking sheet. It would have been better if they formed the end caps in the same shapes as the molds.
Otherwise, I was very pleased with these bread molds and can see myself using them often.

The USA Pans Loaf Pan is constructed of aluminized steel, the material of choice for commercial bakeries. Loaf Pan measures 9 x 5 x 2.75 inch.
