Columbian Home Prod. 0512-6 Open Rectangle Roaster Baking Pan



Something good from the past
These pans are very easy to clean. I had one from over thirty years ago and it was just time to replace it. When it arrived it was smaller than the size I ordered which apparently they no longer make. But they were very cooperative, tried resending it. Still was not the correct size. I kept them and really like the way they roast. Just still on the hunt for a larger one!

Crestware 10.375-Inch Teflon Platinum Pro Fry Pan with Molded Handle withstand Heat up to 450F



professional product
I used to be a chef, have experience but use pans like this everyday at home. Good price and great product. Can't touch other pans for this price. I had another one that last 9 years with pretty much daily use.

Ekco Everyday Radiance 10-inch Nonstick Saute



Follow the rules
Forbidden instructions: Yow! Read the notes. As I read some of these I was tempted to skip them as mundane "old school" stuff. My attention was caught by the "never turn heat higher than medium" and I continued to the end, including washing information. I have had this product for several months now and continue to be happy because it just works for me. No whistles or bells, just a fry pan that does what I want. The handle is a dream and I know it will outlive the pan.

Mauviel M'cook 5130.05 0.9-Quart Mini Splayed Saute with Cast Stainless Steel Handle



real dimensions
The REAL dimensions of this pan are: just over SEVEN inches long,Three and a Half inches wide (the pan part,not including the handle) and ONE
and a HALF inches deep (the pan part not including the handle). This is a Mini pan, The picture is a little deceiving. I love it and it is well
made.as you would expect from Mauviel but it is smaller than what I expected (wrong sizes given) hence the three stars.

Kinetic Kitchen Basics Series Stainless Steel Cookware Set with Lids 12000, 7-Piece



So far so good - first use of 3 pots
I received this set yesterday and it looks good and feels heavy enough. After using 3 pots today I'm starting with a 5-star, subject to revision if I run into problems. Overall the quality seems very good for the price - I've spent days comparing brands and reading tons of reviews before settling on an Innova product. I just can't afford All Clad or West Bend. Luckily my glass lids with vents from my old QVC 'Cooks Essentials' nonstick set fit all the pieces, so I'll use them instead of the stainless lids. I'm getting rid of all nonstick cookware in my kitchen for health reasons. First test was a big pot of chicken noodle soup. You are supposed to avoid high heat, but you can't boil noodles on medium haha So once they came to a boil I turned it to medium, and added the chicken and cream soup. Took a little longer on medium but turned out fine. Plain washing left a dark discolored haze in the inside, with visible marks from the plastic utensil used to stir it. But a good...

No es lo que esperaba
El material de estas piesas no es lo que esperaba. No cocinan bien los alimentos. No me gusto para nada.

Kinetic Classicor Series 4.4-Quart Tapered Chicken Fryer Pan with High Dome Window Lid



Love the size and high lid
I use this pan a lot because I don't have to worry about my kids damaging it with metal utensils. It's nice and deep so it's good for frying. It's also very attractive. It is not non-stick but cleaning it has been pretty easy. I just dump everything out of it and then put a few cups of water in it and put it back on the stove for a few minutes. I use a spatula to just remove everything from the bottom. It take less than a minutes to get almost everything out of it. I clean all my stainless steel and cast iron this way. A scratcher sponge for the little bit left and it's clean. It also goes through the dishwasher well.

Excellent for popcorn, but use a vented lid
I bought this pan specifically to use as my designated popcorn pan because of its depth and domed cover. For popcorn, a vented lid allows steam to escape and prevents the popcorn from becoming soggy. I am using a T-Fal 11" vented lid. So far this has been an excellent pan for popcorn. It holds 3/4 cup of popcorn and when popped fills the pan completely, when using the aforementioned lid. It has a large flat bottom, and an aluminum base to distribute heat evenly.
I have not used the domed cover / lid but like the fact that it has a glass insert allowing sight in to the pan while cooking. I have not used this pan to cook a chicken so I am not able to attest to its use in that regard. I would be concerned about cooking anything in the pan that is heavy as the stainless steel seems a bit thin and the handle is attached with spot welds instead of rivets. There seems to be a significant amount of flexing between the handle and the side of the pan where it is attached. I noticed...

Buffet pan
This worked quite well in cooking large briskets. It is large enough and of a heavy enough gauge to work as I need it to.

Staub Black Grill Pan with Press 1209923



Great grill but tricky cleaning
This is a fabulous product for grilling inside....pork chops and peaches, steak, chicken, sausage. What a great alternative to being outside in the rain or snow. BUT, the cleaning of it is tricky. I have sprayed pam before use which helps. No matter what you do, it will take a while to get in between the grooves. I soak it overnight in hot water, then use a plastic tool to get in between the grooves, then put it in the dishwasher. It's a bit like having an infant. Needs TLC, but so far it's been worth all the effort.

Sitram Catering Saucier Pan 3.35-Quart



wrong picture shown -- good quality pan
My review is written for the Profiserie= "Professional" version of this item -- Amazon changed the picture to 'Catering' which is a different line of pots. I have never used or reviewed a 'Catering' line pot, if Amazon changes this entry to the Catering version of the pot. I checked the Sitram website for Profiserie cookware (which is the same as "Professional". The alternate name is chosen only by retailer or distributor, and the equipment is identical.

the picture Amazon shows (at the time of this review update) is for a 'saucier pan'(evasee), Sitram 3.35 qt. Catering saucier pan, (Sitram 20041 in the Profiserie line, not shown in the picture).

I own the next size smaller saucepan in this series, and it is sturdy, heats quickly and evenly, has a very stay-cool tubular handle (using my electric coil range), is happy in the dishwasher, and pours easily without dripping. I wonder if the spot-welded handle will ever come off, but if it does, it has a lifetime...

Excellent pan
I purchased this to use with an induction cooking top and now it is my favorite pan. The bottom distributes the heat so very evenly that I use this pan for fondues. It also works well on other cook tops but if you have a gas range you'll probably want a silicone handle cover so you don't fry your hand on the bare metal. I use a silicone mitt instead which works for me. I prefer metal handles because a lot of dishes spend time roasting in the oven.

Kitchen workhorse
I've had one of these for at least seven years, and it's become my most-used pan for everything from sauteed onions to oyster stew. It's been used on electric and gas stoves and now an Aga, it's been hand-washed, dishwashered, dropped and slung around, and it's still going strong. I like it so much, I now have its 5.2 quart big brother and several other Sitram pans as well, and you cannot beat the price!

Pilot Rock H-16 B6 Multilevel Park Grill with Post



the one you want.
definitly the grill to choose. all i can say ive done to improve it is i had a steel cover made to keep it dry (since i couldnt find one of any kind). just a nice thing to add so it doesn't rust quickly between uses. the grill also does not completely drain when level. leaving tou with a small puddle or some soggy ashes. so i suppose you could tweek the level slightly to accomidate that when you set the post, but the steel cover fixed that for me. don't buy the other grills this one is nicer!

Arrived with paint chipped off in many places and does not rotate when installed
Unit was packaged loosely and where the parts banged against each other the black paint was chipped off on arrival. No instructions for assembly at all in the carton. Retaining (lock?) pin was wrong side and did not actually fasten in place. Finally the unit does not rotate 360 degrees (it is actually fixed in place if secured or rotates but can be simply lifted (stolen/dropped/etc.) off the base if not secured with my own bolt. The only reason I did not send it back is that I am sure the shipping cost would have been outrageous. You need to check with this manufacturer about these issues. I do not recommend buying from this vendor at least through Amazon.

KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials Brushed Stainless-Steel Nonstick 8-Inch Open Skillet



Good nonstick skillet
This is a good nonstick skillet and it's great that it's dishwasher safe. The only thing I would change is I'd make the skillet sides a little lower. When I slide eggs out, they tend to roll and flip. When I use my other skillets with lower sides, I don't have that problem. Overall, I am very satisfied with it.

Pleased in Mobile
I really appreciated reading other people's opinions on the KitchenAid cookware. I have been looking around for a while and was ready to up-date my kitchen utencils when I came across the KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials Brushed Satinless Steel pots-n-pans. I liked what I read about the products and ordered the set along with the 8-inch Nonstick open skillet. My entire family is enjoying cooking with the items. I especially like the soft grip handles that do not get hot when you are cooking. My family and I look forward to many great years of cooking with the new KitchenAid pots-n-pans.

Excellent reasonably priced cookware
I have had these skillets for a couple of years now and I really like them. They are heavy duty, cook well and evenly on my gas stove and have held up well to repeated use. We are a family of 4 and I cook everyday, so they get some serious use in my kitchen. I would recommend these to anyone. I love my entire KtichenAid set of cookware. I imagine it will last for a long time.

Stir Fry Pan Set - Style 37432



Wok
This pan was the ideal size that I was looking for. and I loved the accessories -- until they began to change color because they are hard to clean (the small spoons, the wooden spoon).

The wok also isn't as non-stick as one would hope.

horrible
This was fine the first couple of weeks, then the inside started coming off (even with gentle use of a wooden spoon) and started rusting. Cheap....

Thought it was a bargain
The bowls and woodenware alone I thought was worth the price, so to get the wok as well I really thought this was a steal. I made sure to take good care of the wok, not to let anything metal be used on it or stored in it but after only a handful of uses the coating began to come off! I had to throw it out because the coating kept peeling up and it was impossible to clean stuff off the bare spots. I totally love the bowls and spoons though, I've dropped them a few times and shoved them in the dishwasher several times and they are no worse for the wear (I recently had a baby and find these convenient for feeding him too!).

The Vinaroz Valencia Series 12-Inch Non Stick Marble Coating Aluminum Frying Pan



Something weird about this fry pan!
Love the idea behind this product...but...there is something weird about the design. I have a glass top stove...this pan does not fit flat on it. It rocks back and forth and spins around! The pan looks flat on the bottom, but must not be. I used it in the oven to warm a ham over Christmas and it worked fine for that. To use it on top of the stove, as it is, you really have to turn up the heat. Wish I could figure out what is wrong with the design. I bought a couple of other fry pans from this company at the same time and they do the same thing :(

Texsport Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet - 13-Inch



Needs to be "reworked"
When I received the Texsport skillet, the bottom inside had a very rough area that had to be ground smooth. It would not let a spatula go over the top of it.

The skillet would not set flat on the stove or table because the word "Texsport" was raised, and cast into the skillet bottom, making the skillet "rock" on any flat surface. That had to be ground off with a electric grinder.

After the above was done, the skillet had to be re-seasoned.

I think I might have a descent skillet now, after all of the above work was done. Evidently, the folks at Texsport have not tried to cook with one, just "out-of-the-box.

Kinetic Classicor Series Stainless-Steel 3-Quart Saucepan with Lid 29103



Stay away from this product!
This is a cheaply-made product. Its photograph in the Amazon website does not reflect its actual, and very poor, quality. It has a flimsy bottom so it does not conduct heat efficiently; thin sides; and a top handle that will burn your fingers after a few minutes on the fire.

Very Impressed But Not Anymore
I am very impressed with this item. Super quality materials, definitely has eye appeal. Anticipating many years of service. Works like magic on my Induction Cook Top. 65 years cooking experience. Thanks to Amazon.com for a great deal at a great price.

3rd day update
First task was to cook some rice, that was a success.
The pan cleaned up nicely.
Second task was to cook some pasta. Horror story, I guess the salt in the water caused the pan to spot and no attempts at cleaning it worked. Nothing was burnt on or stuck to the pan bottom.
So the very impressed is gone and the quality of the item has now been downgraded. Although it has eye appeal I would not recommend this product to anyone. Boy I jumped the gun on this one.

Very nice and durable
I've been using this for months now after getting rid of my Teflon coated products. It has a quality weight to it and and still looks great. I plan on going back to this brand to complete my set. Highly recommended.

Kaiser Bakeware La Forme Plus 12-Cup Muffin Pan



Made in China
I very much did not want a Chinese-made product, so when I saw that this tin was described as "produced to the highest German standards" I went to the company's website to get more info.

It states on the Kaiser website that the le Forme Plus line is made in Germany, but when my tins arrived they had a sticker on them that said "Made in China." I will be sending them back.

Imusa Aluminum Sauce Pan, 1 Quart



Imusa saucepan
This sauce pan is not worth the money. I have really enjoyed my other Imusa Caldero pots but this isn't even close to the same quality.

Not worse a dollar
This thing is very light and dents very easily. Need to be careful using it since it is so thin it boils fast. I would only boil water on it. Don't look like is durable, won't last long.Not worse $10. I paid about $2, not worse even that.
