J.A. Henckels International Classic 8-Inch Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's important to note that this knife is not made in Germany (the 4 Star, 5 Star, and Pro-S series are).
I started my good knife collection with a set of 3 of these International Classic knives. I later decided to get a larger set (9) of the 4 Star series, some of the finest knives in the world. However, I prefer this chef's knife over the 4 Star one. The grip is heavier and makes the balance a bit nicer.
For the paring knife, I much prefer the 4 Star one, so I wouldn't recommend the set of 3, but this knife is great. I use it all the time. If you are starting out on a knife collection, I recommend these things:
-a 4 Star 3-inch paring knife (or 2 if you are lazy with clean-up)
-this Chef's knife
-a cheap and large bread knife
-a medium sized 5-6in utility knife (good quality)
-a honing steel (good quality)
-a wood block to put them in (good knives should not be shoved into a drawer with other knives)
-[optional]a carving set of knife and fork, if you need carving utensils (I don't much)
I'd weigh the cost of these together against getting a more expensive set (if you are on a budget).

Maxi-Matic ETO-113 Elite Cuisine 2-Slice Toaster Oven with 15 Minute Timer, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's very hard to find toaster ovens for only 2 slices these days. Most are for 4 to even 6 slices and can't fit on my counter. I bought this one because it fit BUT the height is SOOOO low that nothing but a thin piece of bread will cook in it without bursting into flames - a kaiser roll actually touches the top heating element. Needless to say, I sent this directly back as I really didn't want my house to burn down.
This might seem picky, but really it is called a "toaster oven" not just a "toaster" and I bought it to be able to make more than just toast, otherwise I'd just buy a toaster.

Corelle Livingware Memphis 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If it was just the picture on the website, I might think it was just my computer screen. However, the box also shows a very bright blue mug and the colors in the plate too. When the box is opened, I found a lighter blue...not primary bright blue, more like a Williamsburg Blue. It is still pretty but not what I really wanted. The other colors are the same way...pictured as very bright but muted out of the box.
Another deceptive thing to note on the picture. It appears that the smaller plate is almost as big as the dinner plate. It is described as a salad plate...it is a bread and butter sized plate. I am not impressed with that. That being said the detailed description does state the correct dimensions of that plate. In a typical family-style dinner I really have no use for it. I would like a larger salad plate that is just the right size for the kids.
As others posted, I too wish the Memphis pattern would also be on the other complementary tableware. Lighter color issues aside I do like the pattern. I would only suggest that when one makes a purchase you realize the picture is only slightly deceptive.
I do like the Corelle name of products. With my kids learning how to set a table, I need something a little more durable. This will do nicely until they are old enough to be able to deal with china.

Granite Ware 3-Piece Bake, Broil, and Grill Pan Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Granite Ware 3 Piece Bake, Broil & Grill Set
I suppose there is a more cheaply made broiler pan out there somewhere, but I can't imagine how any more corners could be cut...no pun intended, since all edges of the two painted steel sheets are knife sharp. The steel used to punch out those two pieces couldn't be thinner.
Package wrap indicates not to heat when empty! My intent was to pre-heat as a steamer for bread baking by adding water to the pan to create a crispy crust. Still searching for an at least a medium grade broiler pan.
Amazon's packaging was loose enough to cause the pan to bounce around freely in the shipping box, causing the chrome plated grate (not stainless steel) to scratch the paint off; looks like rust will follow shortly. Don't waste your $$ on this low end device.

SNAP N LOCK BUTTER DISH Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This butter dish sucks, the lid is not air tight like it states and barely stays on. You can't pick it up by the lid because it will just come right off. The only good thing about it were the measurements on the base. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Lodge Logic Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Spiral Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received my eagerly-awaited Dutch oven a couple days ago and made some chili to try it out. It works great, with excellent heat retention... good for browning beef at higher temperatures, and bubbles merrily away even at low heat. Great for anything you want to simmer long and low for the best flavor.
An added bonus - the lid from this Dutch oven also fits the Logic 10-1/4" skillet if required.
To clean, I fill it with hot water, boil a bit to lift the grease, then rinse with hot water and wipe with a paper towel, using a bit of nylon mesh from an onion bag for any stubborn bits, then dry and re-oil.
A couple notes:
If you receive a Logic Dutch oven and find a couple gobs of sticky, brown, almost rust-colored stuff on the handle flange, it is likely NOT rust. Because of the shape of this pot, the pre-seasoning process sometimes leaves a bit of extra, thickened oil in this location. If this is the case, it can be easily rubbed off with a fingertip, much like rubber cement.
The pre-seasoning is very effective, but the inside of the lid, well-designed to keep moisture inside the pot, is a vulnerable spot. Depending on what you cook, the inside of the lid will likely require additional seasoning; I only oiled the cooking surfaces and the first use (no tomato, but enough water to simmer the chili) removed much of the seasoning between the self-basting points. No rust, so it was a simple matter of wiping the inside surface of the lid with peanut oil and putting it in a 450 degree (F) oven a couple times. I'd suggest doing this to the lid before use, and any time the seasoning in this location appears to be thinning. I did not lower my rating for this, as its simply the nature of the beast, not a design or manufacturing flaw.

The American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century. No other metal is as long-lasting and works as well for spreading and retaining heat evenly during cooking. Lodge's Logic line of cookware comes factory pre-seasoned with the company's vegetable oil formula, and is ready to use right out of the box.
At 12 inches in diameter and 4-3/4 inches deep, this 7-quart Dutch oven holds a heap of chili, chicken and rice, or fruit cobbler. This model is not the campfire style, with legs, wire handle, and a lid for coals. This one is flat-bottomed to sit on a stovetop burner or in the oven, with a domed lid that sends moisture back into the pot. It features a traditional wire ball handle that's been popular for over a century. While the Dutch oven comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. After the meal is done, simply scrub the cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, no soap, and dry immediately. Lodge covers the sturdy oven with a lifetime limited warranty against defects, and when cared for properly, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations.

Old Mountain Pre Seasoned 10162 Rectangle Baking Pan, 8 3/4 Inch x 16 Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pan arrived broken in 4 pieces. Before you say "Well that's the fault of shipping and not the product," I've ordered many Lodge pans from Amazon and none have ever arrived broken. That causes me to suspect the quality and workmanship.
Thankfully the replacement arrived in one piece. It's smaller than what the title suggests; It's slightly smaller than a standard 9x13 baking pan. I got this because I wanted to make lasagna in cast iron, and Lodge does not sell a rectangular pan.

Black & Decker FP2500 PowerPro Wide-Mouth 10-Cup Food Processor, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
1 - 500 watt motor is more powerful than most other food processors
2 - Two speeds allows a little more precision during use
3 - Suction cup feet hold it pretty steady even when chopping a lot of veggies
4 - Comes with a dough kneading blade
5 - No louder than my little 3 cup chopper when running
6 - Has a wide mouth chute (see cons below)
7 - Large capacity (10 cups)
Cons
1 - No convenient way to store the cutting disc or blade when not in use. Both won't fit in the bowl during storage. The B&D FP2500S model comes with the storage lid. Or you can order it for $9.95 (part # - 07239GZ4)
2 - Goofy feeder chute only allows you to continually feed food into the small chute. In order to use the wide mouth chute, the chute must be removed, stopping the machine.
3 - Like most other Food processors, will only hold about 3 cups of liquid before it runs over to top of the shaft and leaks out the bottom. This is common with most brands and this model is no different.
4 - Having to lock the bowl on the base, the lid on the bowl, and the chute on the lid before the thing will run; is a pain. I understand the B&D is trying to make sure no one gets hurt using this thing but...geezz.
I own several higher end appliances from Kitchen Aid and Cuisinart. No one is going to mistake this food processor for one from either of those two companies. That being said, at $60 bucks it is one third the cost of a comparable sized Kitchen Aid unit.
I have owned this unit for a couple of weeks and have used it on about a dozen different chores. Overall it performs very well. It shreds cheese easily assuming the cheese is cold. I have used it to chop nuts and make bread crumbs. And it shreds carrots well. It comes with a dough blade, but since I have been using my Kitchen Aid stand mixer (the one appliance I could not live without) to knead dough for 10 years, I doubt I will ever use this feature.
If you need an inexpensive food processor for occasional use...this unit should work well for you.

Slice, chop, shred, grate, or puree just about anything with this 500-watt food processor, an invaluable addition to any busy kitchen. The appliance offers a large 10-cup-capacity work bowl with a generous handle and a wide-mouth feed chute that accommodates whole apples, potatoes, onions, and other whole foods--no need to cut into smaller pieces first. Use the stainless-steel chopping blade, stainless-steel reversible slicing and shredding disk, or the dough blade depending on the task at hand. Choose from three soft-touch Mylar buttons for low speed, high speed, or pulse, which delivers an extra burst of power as needed. Other highlights include a safety-interlock system for peace of mind, heavy-duty suction-cup feet to keep the machine in place during operation, convenient cord storage, and dishwasher-safe removable parts for quick cleanup. Sleek and sturdy, the food processor measures 11 by 9-3/5 by 16-3/5 inches.

Ateco Cookie Cutter Sets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Over the years, I've collected lots of cookie cutters. I keep most of them in a plastic storage box in my pantry because I try to keep my kitchen drawers from getting too cluttered. However, I do keep some of my sets of Ateco boxed cutters in a drawer because their storage cans are small and compact, and I use them a lot. Ateco is a quality manufacturer of baking accessories. I own several of their products: a revolving round metal cake stand; a large pastry decorating set, including icing bags and tips; and baking spatulas.
The Ateco line of boxed cutter sets includes cookie cutters with holiday and seasonal designs; a bridge set; sets with hearts, stars, animals, toy shapes, alphabet letters, gingerbread families; mini cookie cutters; dog bone biscuit cutters; pie cutters; aspic or jelly cutters; and biscuit/pastry cutters - some come in boxes, and others come in storage cans, like this one. This set has 11 plain round stainless steel cutters in graduated shapes, from 3/4 inch to 3 5/8 inches. They nest perfectly in their storage can, which has a tight lid so the cutters don't spill out into the drawer.
I only use a few of these round cutters on a regular basis though. I find that most of the cutters are too small for anything other than specialty baking. Although Ateco says that their cutters are dishwasher-safe, I hand wash mine because I've found that the dishwasher doesn't always get them clean.

KitchenAid Silicone Loaf Pan, Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just made some banana bread in the silicone rubber loaf pan. It was a really weird experience. The loaf pan is a soft rubber and doesn't feel structural enough to bake anything. There are two main advantages. 1) Nothing sticks to silicone rubber. 2) The silicone rubber loaf pan is so flexible I could probably turn it inside out, and that makes it easy to remove baked items.
My banana bread is usually baked onto the metal non-stick loaf pan when it emerges from the oven. Then I let it cool and it steams in the pan and is essentially glued to the pan. The loaf comes out, but the crust has turned to goo and is stuck in the loaf pan. With the Kitchenaid silicone loaf pan, the loaf just popped right out. It wasn't too browned. It made a beautiful loaf, like a picture in a cookbook. The sides pooched out a little, but not badly.
There was no silicone oil or chemical smell as reported in other reviews. Perhaps that was caused by an earlier batch of bad bakeware, or using the silicone rubber pan under a broiler and overheating it? I baked at 350 F in an electric oven and the loaf pan seemed chemically inert and the banana bread tasted fine.
In addition to seeming weird, there are some functional differences. Compared to metal pans, I'd add some more time or bake at a higher temperature. And no more reaching in with one oven mitt and pulling out the pan. The silicone rubber loaf pan requires two hands and two oven mitts.
Because the silicone loaf pan is so incredibly nonstick, cleanup was extremely easy. My only problem? I just bought some nice metalic Kitchenaid nonstick bakeware. It's very nice, but the silicone rubber pan works so well it's like alien technology.
Did I mention it's *really* non-stick?

It makes a great presentation too. This is perfect for mothers to send cupcakes to their children's class for holiday parties. It's great for cakes. You can travel with them and not worry about the cake getting destroyed. If you do not like to bake, you can purchase a cake from your local bakery and keep it fresh in this cake taker. Everyone needs to have one of these. The Round Cake Taker is also very nice.

J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Synergy 13-Piece Knife Block Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was a gift from our wedding registry. And I did read the less than impressive reviews of the set and yet decided to go with it - 1) because of the price, (2) these received the relatively better reviews for a Henckels set (3) one-piece stamped steel construction. My husband was in the restaurant suply business for 7 years, and he is no fan of the Henckels International line but I succumbed to the draw of the little man (in the co. logo) without whom, I believe for the moment, no kitchen is complete. Since we received them, even my skeptical husband has gotten fond of them. They are not 'cheap looking', 'prone to rusting' (with proper knife handling, of course), 'thin blade'd, as some have opined here. We don't have a grand chef's kitchen operation running at our house and for us, these are great. With low to moderate use, regular hand cleaning and wiping down, they are still like new. They feel just right in terms of weight and look great. We have an extra pair of henckels kitchen shears that we were able to put in the block that had a compartment for it.
