Cuisinart MultiClad Pro Triple Ply Stainless Skillet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For years, I've been afraid of stainless fry pans. My experience with them was limited to the time when I was young and not as experienced of a cook. I did not really know how to avoid sticking or how to clean them, and the stainless pans I had 19 years ago I gave away out of frustration.
Let me say, wow! I have really been missing out by cooking on nonstick pans all this time. You just cannot get the kind of sear on a nonstick pan as you can with this.
As for clean up? I use barkeeper's friend and it is high-gloss shiny each time!
You really cannot beat the price on these. They are solid, heavy-weight, have good heat distribution, and they clean up beautifully. What more are you looking for? Don't pay hundreds on all-clad, when you can get these high quality pans for soo much less.
I wanted to add for those that have trouble with sticking: the trick is to let it heat up first, then add the oil, then your food. Hot pan. Cool oil. Food. You'll do much better and avoid sticking a lot better!

Lodge Logic L8SGP3 Pre-Seasoned Square Grill Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just cooked a thick ribeye steak using this grill. It's the first thing that I have cooked on it. Similar to a cast iron frying pan that I have, this generates a lot of "smoke". I had to take the battery out of my smoke detector, and open windows. I think I cooked it at a slightly higher temperature than I needed to. If smoke is a problem, think twice about buying this.
The result is the best steak I have ever cooked indoors. It beats any electric grill I have ever used, and it beats the George Foreman grill hands down. I would say that the results are almost restaurant quality. I look forward to cooking hamburgers within the next day or so.
I think this would work better with slightly less thick cuts of meat. Even at high heat it took longer than it would have taken on a grill. During the cooking I put a metal lid over the pan to control splattering.
I think it will be a breeze to clean. Oiling it after cleaning, with the ridges, will be a little more work than for smoother surfaces.
Because the ridges are so high, the grill does a great job of cooking away from the fat, and probably (my guess) does even a better job than the George Foreman grill in that regard.
Pans like this pay for themselves. This pan is about the cost of a dinner for two, and it will result in less eating out.
Update: I cleaned the pan after making the steak. It was more difficult to clean than other cast iron pans due to the ridges, however, I think I need to find a different tool to clean it with. Someone recommended a grill pad or brush. Also, I usually put the pan over enough heat to evaporate any water from cleaning, and then apply a thin amount of oil. This was also harder. I think it will get better with practice. In any case, the results were worth it.
I will be trying burgers and pork chops soon, so stay tuned!
Update: I cooked pork chops tonight on this grill, and they are the best pork chops I have ever had in my life. I let the pan heat up, and usually also have the electric burner on high heat when adding the meat. I then turn it down a bit. The cast iron doesn't cool off, and it sears the juices in. I have found that a metal cover over the grill works well to keep in splatters and heat. Another thing that is helpful is a temperature fork, which told me tonight that the chops were at 180 degrees, otherwise I would have overcooked them.
This is by far the best money that I have spent on cooking equipment, and it will definitely save a lot of $$$ because I will treat myself to excellent home-cooked meals more often.

Pre seasoned and ready to use, this square cast-iron grill pan provides an array of convenient features. The pan's ribbed bottom keeps food up and away from grease for low-fat cooking, while at the same time making tasty-looking stripes across grilled favorites. To avoid what some consider the mysterious or time-consuming process of "seasoning" cast iron pans, Lodge makes the benefits of cast iron effortless. After evenly coating all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil, the cookware is put into an extremely high-temperature industrial oven, which bakes the coating into the surface. The result is a better-looking and better-performing pan than if it was seasoned at home. A hole in the pan's sturdy handle allows for hanging the item when not in use. The square grill pan measures 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 1-3/4 inches and carries a lifetime warranty.

Toastess TO-302 Silhouette 1450-Watt Stainless-Steel Convection Oven and Broiler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There is no way that this oven can hold heat properly, as the back of it is just a thin sheet of metal. There are double walls on the sides and top, but the bottom is another thin sheet of steel with a drip tray above. The timer shuts off at the 5-7 minute mark without chiming, so the appliance cuts off without warning - clearly a defect. If you don't use the timer, turn the oven on, and give the oven time to heat up, then it will cook a piece of frozen pizza in the normal time. The convection fan doesn't seem to do anything.

31112 Toaster Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have never had a toaster oven before so my review might affected by having nothing previous to compare to, but here goes:
I wanted a small, 2 slice toaster oven, because I am a 1 person family. There were only a couple choices on Amazon and the other choice seemed to be rated as too small by other buyers. So I chose this Proctor Silex(at that time)unrated model.
It takes up only a little more space on my counter than my old 2 slice toaster did. It is very mechanical in its operation. ("Tick..tick..tick..Ding!") I assume this oven is marketed more outside this country because none of the words around the dials are in English. I thought that amusing. There are little pictures of the functions and the temp settings in both F. and C. so no problems. We all read every word of our operating manuals, right?
This little oven will hold 2 generous slices of bread-I've done 3 slices of french bread at a time. No problem broiling open faced sandwiches with plenty of toppings. Only the fattest of sweet rolls or muffins may have to be split.
This oven has created the most evenly toasted bread I have had for ages. (My retired toaster was pretty old.) If it did nothing else it would be worth the bargain price I paid. I make mini pizzas on english muffins a lot and for this it works perfectly as well.
The upper and lower heating elements are encased in tubes, the lower one protected with perforated metal to reduce crumb burning, I assume.
Oh, and one thing that was never mentioned anywhere I tried to research this item before I bought it--it is 800 watts.
I am very happy with the little unit.

ProBake Teflon Platinum 12.8-by-8.9-by-2-Inch Bake, Broil, & Roast Pan Set with Chrome Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this set to use in my new Breville convection toaster oven which can handle a pan 13 in. In the title of this set of pans it states it is "12.8 by 8.9 by 2 inch." But it turns out that only the small inner pan fits those dimensions. The rack and large outer pan extend well past 14 inches. This fact is in the fine print, but I did not see it before purchasing this set.
I will use the bigger pan and rack in my "grown-up oven" -- but had hoped I was receiving a pan with rack to use in my toaster oven.

Applica Consumer Products Inc Blk Signal Toaster Oven T Toaster Oven/Broiler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this toaster oven & have had a *few* problems with it...
Problem #1: after cleaning the toaster oven the first time, almost all of the numbers and markings rubbed off
Problem # 2: the door handle detached from the glass door within 2 weeks
Problem #3: the toaster oven and the sides of the handle get quite hot (which, aside from posing a fire hazard, is a big deal when the handle falls off when you are checking on food--you have to put it back on...)
Problem #4: there have been at least 2 fires inside the toaster
Problem #5: the baking mechanism broke so I can only toast (the blue indicator light does not light up when the oven is on bake & the toaster does not bake)
Problem #6: the toaster alternates between taking forever to toast a piece of toast and quickly burning it
Problem #7: the toaster toasts unevenly (I flipped my bread over half way through the cycle to make sure the sides got toasted more evenly)
Problem #8: the baking mechanism did not work if the timer was not off (the blue light will not even go on)
Problem #9 (more of an annoyance): if your toaster is unplugged & you turn the toaster knob on, the toaster will make the toasting sound (so you come back thinking you will have toast but in fact, the oven was never on)
Well, I just ordered a new toaster because it is *difficult* (to say the least) to use this toaster, seeing as it has no numbers, markings, baking mechanism, and has a hot handle that falls off... not to mention the little fires it starts and the fire hazard it obviously poses.
I figure Black & Decker knows about the fire hazard because the door has instructions of what to do if there is a fire inside the toaster (it says to close the toaster door & unplug it... it omits the important step of turn toaster off before unplugging--all consumers need is also the threat of electricution when using this defective product).
After just 3 or 4 months in my possesion, this Black & Decker toaster will be let to rest/thrown away (3-4 months after it should have been). Please do not donate this toaster to Goodwill or to the needy if (I mean, when) you have problems with it--throw it away, it's quite useless & a hazard.

Cuisinart RTO-20 Retro Toaster Oven Broiler, brushed stainless and black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this toaster oven as a wedding gift, and I feel badly for my friends who bought this in good faith. This toaster oven was a big disappointment. To be fair, it looks nice, takes up little room, and toasts nicely. That's about it for good points.
First among its many problems is the fact that despite being billed as a 4-slice toaster, it fits only 2 slices of regular-sized bread. I guess this is standard, but it was a surprise for us.
Second, the tray is fixed in place. This means not only can it not be moved, but it can not be removed if small items fall between the rungs of the rack.
Third, the rack is placed in such a way that toast can not easily be sild out. Because the wire at the front is higher than the others, you have to grab the item in order to get it out--easy to burn fingers and hands.
Finally, two of the three controls were wobbly on their sliders, right out of the box. Not inspiring, especially for folks like us who make toast many times daily.
It does not seem to have been put together with convenience and durability in mind.

Lodge Logic LPGI3 Pro 20-by-10-7/16-Inch Cast-Iron Grill/Griddle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I absolutely adore this griddle, and I use it almost every day.
At first, I wasn't sure that I wanted a cast iron griddle. They are HEAVY and not dishwasher safe . . . so I tried a few nonstick brands first --top dollar brands with high ratings.
I hated them. The nonstick surface was inferior. On a reversible griddle, the underside became sticky and difficult to clean. The heat was distributed unevenly. One claimed to be dishwasher safe, yet when I put it in the dishwasher, some of the nonstick surface came off.
I am extremely health conscious, and I use very little oil when I cook. Food often stuck to the "non-stick" surface -- go figure.
I wanted to find a great griddle that I could use for many things, including cooking like the chefs in Japanese Steak Houses -- I dreamed of using a small dash of my favorite oil and flinging shrimp, chicken and veggies on the griddle like a pro. No, I didn't think I could toss my tools in the air or catch the shrimp in my pocket . . . I just wanted the flavor and the ease of cooking.
By this time, I was on a quest, and the non-stick stuff just wasn't cutting it. I did a little research, and I learned that pros recommend the Lodge griddle, so despite my apprehension, I thought I'd give it a try.
Wow! The pre-seasoned surface is perfect and better than any non-stick surface I have ever used. Just a tiny bit of non-stick spray is all I need, and everything from pancakes to eggs flip with ease. Grilling Japanese style works perfectly.
On the grill side: whole steaks, chicken, fish -- fabulous, fast, and everything has those beautiful grill lines. Nice for grilled vegetables, too.

The griddle is indeed heavy, but it's okay. I wouldn't recommend lifting it if you have serious muscle or joint problems, and I wouldn't want to drop it on my foot, but otherwise, go for it. I'm a softie, and if I can handle it, so can you.
As for not being able to put the griddle in the dishwasher: I don't believe I'm going to say this, but I don't care about having to handwash it. The griddle cleans so easily, a few swipes and I'm done. If I forget to clean it and wake up to it the next morning (okay, so I'm not Suzy Homemaker), I just lay it straight across the top of my sink -- not IN the sink, but rather, balanced from edge to edge, on top . . . and I run a little water over it, let it set for a few minutes, and it's easy to clean.
A word of advice: Just as it says in the instructions, you need to clean the griddle without soap (water only) to preserve the pre-seasoned finish. However, should you want to use soap, you can. There are instructions included in how to re-season the griddle -- it's easy.
I frankly didn't like the idea of not cleaning with soap. I didn't feel as though the germs were destroyed . . . but soap doesn't really kill germs, it merely works as a surfactant that makes water wetter so things become easier to clean.
If you want to kill germs, heat is one of the best ways to do it. Every time you use the griddle, you preheat it on the range for about five minutes or so -- you're killing far more germs than if you had used soap!
You can also rub your griddle with a very light coating of oil, stick it in a hot oven and disinfect it that way (this is also similar to how you reseason it).
This is one of the easiest, most wonderful kitchen tools I own. It is a breeze to use, I feel like a pro flipping all that food around. Everything comes out great, and it is very easy to use, and food does not stick.
I have since added six more pieces of cast iron to my collection, one triangle cornbread/scone, a round muffin/biscuit, and four cast iron skillets. Two of the skillets are antique -- talk about well-seasoned! I do not use the bread/muffin bakers as much as I thought I would, but I use the skillets almost every day. I love them.
PS: I remember reading somewhere that using cast iron also adds iron to your diet. A nice extra, yes?

Calphalon LRS1805P Contemporary Stainless Special-Value 16-Inch Roaster with Nonstick Roasting Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this pan to tackle a prime rib roast for Christmas dinner. The pan itself is very heavy, solid and distrubutes the heat well. One thing I do not like about other roasting pans that I have purchased is sometimes the pan juices seem to burn in the oven which results in no "pan goodness" to make gravy with. I have used this pan multiple times and never had that issue- the bits and pieces will brown, but do not get a burned flavor. I attribute this to the construction of the pan and the heaviness of the weight. I would give the pan a solid 5 stars, but the rack that comes with this pan immediately started peeling and rusting even though I ran it in the dishwasher and promptly removed it. So what is a girl to do?
I bought the William Bounds silicon roasting rack (from Amazon) and now use this with my pan. I could have purchased a replacement rack for $19 or paid shipping and handling to get a replacement rack through the warranty, but I have been very impressed with the William Bounds rack and it fits perfectly in the pan. Clean up is a snap- both pieces go right in the dishwasher and come out looking as if I just pulled them out of the box for the first time. Plus, the WB rack has a slightly smaller grid so even on the coldest of days I can have familiy over (about 20 people) and still serve roasted chicken breasts with baked potatoes and salad in a snap.

Black & Decker TRO480BS Toast-R-Oven 4-Slice Toaster Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We looked at a number of ovens and wanted something that did the basic things and didn't take up too much space. No convection (we have a convection oven) and no digital - its just a basic appliance. We looked at the B&D 240 but this just seemed too basic and too flimsy. Then we saw this one. It has all the basics, it's a good, small size and its silver / black which matches our kitchen. It has 3 controls (as compared to the basic model w/ 2) making it easy to select temp, function and time. The handle is securely attached to the glass door -the metal ends wrap around the glass so it won't fall off (a complaint about other ovens). It has a nice slide out crumb tray that has access from the front with the oven door close - this makes it very easy to empty. Nicely toasted our first bagel in just a few minutes and it was very evenly browned, something our regular toaster did not do well at all.
Pros
Gets hot fast
Basic controls work well
Easy access crumb tray
Even toasting and heating
Cons
Not many
The top and sides do get hot so don't store anything on this!

Hamilton Beach 6-Slice Toaster Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this oven about a year ago and I use it several times a week. It's a little slower than a standard toaster, but that's always the case for toaster ovens, and it seems on par in its own arena. It's a good bit roomier than the Black&Decker ovens I had previously used, and it seems sturdier as well. Additionally, it doesn't cut off when the door is open, which I see as a feature, but some might dislike for safety reasons. Timer and power are consistent. The crumb tray is removable, and it comes with a single shelf, a pan, and a grille for the pan.

Toastess DLTO442 Stainless-Steel Digital 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven/Broiler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The oven ships with a large paper sticker on the glass door. It took 10 minutes with a one-sided razor blade followed by application of Goof Off cleaner to remove it. The sticker should have been plastic with a mild adhesive. This was a red flag.
The manual recommends that you clean the unit first and then operate it empty for 20 minutes to burn off the manufacturing oils. I repeated this three times to make sure. You should do this outside or with the kitchen fan operating because the unit clearly burns off some surface oil.
The rear external surface of the oven gets EXTREMELY HOT (like a laundry iron on maximum) during operation. The oven MUST be placed against a non-flamable tile surface that can take high heat. This is the only possible option. If you do not have such a location DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. In particular, you must take special care that the power cord does not touch the rear surface.
It takes 3 minutes to make perfect light toast. I imagine 5 minutes would give dark toast.
This is my first toaster oven of this kind. I would say that it is physically attractive but poorly designed. At the very least, they should have included a 1/2" insulation layer over the rear surface.

Weber Style 6435 Professional-Grade Grill Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This received top ratings from America's Test Kitchen (Cooking Illustrated & Cook's Kitchen). I was skeptical because I have tried about a dozen different grill pans in the 18 months, but none have really worked. This is the best I have used yet.
One was a square-ish pan and the corners snapped and became unusable. A common problem with many pans; they are welded and not stamped or folded. The welds usually break due to the high heat in the grill.
My old favorite is a bowl style; it's decent, but the problem is the top is bigger than the bottom so there is not a lot of actual grilling space. As a result you either have steamed veggies or you have to keep stirring.
The biggest complaint I have about most grill pans is the holes. Either they are too big and things like cherry tomatoes and sliced onions fall through, or the holes are too small. Small holes have many problems: difficult to clean, too many and the food gets too charred, too many holes and the metal separating the holes breaks...etc.
This pan is the best pan I have used yet. It it made of one piece with NO welds; the sides are bent up to create a lip and give the user an edge to flip and turn food. Also, the holes are not actually holes, they are slits. This means that one does not have to worry about food slipping through the spaces; from time to time sliced onions get stuck, but not really a BIG deal. It works great for Portabella mushrooms though it is not just for veggies, it's great for fish. Another big seller is that this is stainless and easy-ish to clean. It's not going to be non-stick easy to clean, you will have to scrub, but with a Brillo pad and elbow grease it's not a big deal.
The only complaint I have is the size. I have a two burner grill (unless I can talk my wife into getting a new grill next summer) and the pan can be a little too big for this type of grill. This "complaint" is not that big of a complaint since I usually don't do veggies at the same time as the meat.
If Weber updates this pan, I would recommend making it available in a smaller size and upgrading the metal; it's a little light weight. It's not bad, a little more heft would be nice.
If you have a grilling fanatic in your family (even if it's you) then buy this pan. It's great! You won't be disappointed. Get this pan.

Deni 10400 Quick-n-Easy 10-4-Quart Convection Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hello all, I have had my Deni oven for about 5 years now and it still works fine ! I have had at least 5 Jetstream Ovens burn out on me over the last 15 years or so,none lasting much over a year ! But I tell you no lie the Jetstream Ovens puts the Deni and the FlavorWave to shame when it comes to cooking things like Air Fried Chicken,pizza and hot dogs ! I did not have to turn my chicken over when I used the Jetstream Ovens because of the high air output of the Jetstream Ovens"4000 RPM fan speed"! But I do have to turn the chicken over when it comes to the low air output of the Deni and FlavorWave ovens!
The Deni and FlavorWave are far more durable then the Jetstream Ovens,but when it comes to cooking,they just can't compete,their air output is way too low !!! The FlavorWave cooks far better then the Deni,on a scale of 1 to ten...10 being the highest I would give the FlavorWave maybe a high 7 to a low 8,and I would give the Deni a five or low 6,but the JetStream Ovens I would give a high 9 or 10 ! I hate the fact that the Jetstream Ovens don't last long,and I wish I could find a durable low priced convection oven with the same high 4000 RPM fan speed of the Jetstream Ovens,but after looking for many years I have had no luck what so ever !
I give the Deni a 4 out of 5 over all rating because I love how durable and reliable it is ! The Deni seems to be the most durable out of the 3 ovens! But as far as cooking goes,it needs a far more powerful fan in it! When I cook pizza in the Deni the top comes out fine but the bottom comes out soft and half uncooked! I have to overcook the top in order to cook the bottom the way I like it! The FlavorWave did a better job with the pizza! On a scale of 1 to ten I would give the Deni a 4 on pizza,the FlavorWave would get a 7 or 8 and the Jetstream would get a 9 or 10! I must warn you that the Jetstream can blow any light weight toppings on the pizza around if you don't put a rack right above the pizza to hold and keep the toppings in place. But to me that's a small price to pay. As far as air fried chicken goes that is where the JetStream Oven blows the Deni and the FlavorWave completely away !
I would rate the Deni a 4, the FlavorWave a 7 and the Jetstream oven a 10 + when it comes to Air Fried Chicken . The FlavorWave gets a 7 because it does a good job on the chicken, its nice and juicy on the inside and the skin is done fairly well . Now when it comes to the Jetstream..not only is the chicken nice and juicy, but the skin is cooked to Perfection!!!! It comes out better then real fried chicken skin,but without all the grease ! I am hooked on the Jetstream oven mostly because of how great of a job it does on cooking Air Fried Chicken !!!
Let me say it again, I hate the durability or lack of durability of the Jetstream ovens, and I and many others wish Nesco would make their ovens to last !
Nesco won't even offer an extended warranty on their Jetstream ovens,so what does that tell you about the quality or lack of durability of the Jetstream ovens ? But it still looks like I have to buy another Jetstream oven if I want the best Air Fried Chicken in town ! I still wish someone would make a high air output convection oven that is durable,so that I could tell Nesco where to go with their great cooking,low durability,falling apart,and cracking into many pieces Jetstream ovens !!!!!!!
As far as the Deni oven goes,I can say it is very very durable,no melting parts,no cracking,no falling apart ! On the other hand,it is only so so when it comes to cooking with its weak low speed fan !
Here's how I rate the 3 ovens on a scale of 1 to ten 10 !
Deni
Durability 10

FlavorWave
Durability 9
Cooking 7 or 8
Jetstream
