Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 13-Inch Round Grill Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very excited to be the first person to write a review for this grill pan, and hope I will convince you to purchase it. First of all, let me say that the quality of Calphalon's stainless cookware has greatly improved as they have recently made the switch from not-so-good impact-bonded stainless bottom (Simply Stainless) to a spun tri-ply construction that's on par with All-Clad.
I just got this grill pan after trying a cheapo reversible 2-burner grill, whose "non-stick" (not quite) coating started coming off very early on, and Mario Batali/Copco new enameled cast iron Panini Grill, whose top part never got very hot, and which was a pain to clean.
The Calphalon Contemporary Stainless, costing the same as the Panini Press, is a much better value. The spun tri-ply gives you very even heat and beautiful grill marks, and, as all stainless, it is extremely easy to clean -just soak for a bit and then wipe the goo off with your sponge. Also, it is very wide, which allows you to grill such large items as flank steaks, and limits splattering.

Grilling made easy, anytime of the year. The grooves hold your food above the bottom of the pan so air can circulate under your food, perfect for grilling all of your favorites. The tri-ply construction heats up fast and conducts evenly--so no more waiting for the charcoal to be ready. The long handle makes lifting easy, and it stays cool for long periods on the stovetop.

Fagor Stainless-Steel 2-Quart Double Boiler with Steamer Insert Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a well-made, versatile, attractive, almost-"professional" set which, if you look around for sales, offers a good deal for the money (mine was from Macey's, special $39.95).
Although the bottom unit is heavy enough to function nicely as an independant 3 qt. stockpot, the top unit should definitely not be used over direct heat (my only complaint). And I think the well-made glass lid is always a plus over a solid one.
The upper unit and steamer both have 2 qt. capacities. This size is about right for all "double boiling" or for steamimng moderate amounts of food, but might be a little small if you want to steam vegetables, etc. for more than 2 to 3 people on a regular basis.

Winware Stainless Double Boilers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sometimes you are suspect when an item may seem too "affordable" to be of good quality; no need to be a skeptic with this Winware s.s.double boiler. It is heavy with sturdy handles - not flat metal.
I did o.k. without a true double boiler for my cheese making, but got really tired of the constant fear that I'd ruin a batch of cheese or my 'kluged' double boiler would slip off the water pan. This will also be great for canning my hot, hot, hot salsa this summer.
For now, Tomme is on the schedule!
UPDATE: The double boiler's bottom pitted while making ricotta causing BLACK discoloration on the ricotta!. The acid from a couple of grains of the undissolved citric acid etched the double boiler.
My favorite engineer says that the pot is probably made from an inferior grade of stainless steel as any restaurant S.S. would not pit from exposure to acidic foods.
Also, the price on this item has increased by approximately $60 since I purchase item AND posted a review: about 10 days. Hmmmmmmm. Try another source or manufacturer if you need a quality Stainless steel item. Very disappointed. 02/05 Major price drop.

Cuisinart MultiClad Pro Triple Ply Stainless Saute Pan with Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this cookware is a really great alternative to All Clad Stainless. I have three pieces of the Cuisinart Multiclad and they are all comparable to the All Clad in terms of performance. Careful - you have to take care of these pans. Don't put salt in them unless there is boiling liquid or the pans will pit and I wouldn't recommend putting them in the dishwasher. Another comparable line is the Calphalon Tri-Ply.

Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless Universal Double Boiler with Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cuisinart Multiclad is a superior line of cookware - I've been collecting pieces for a while now. I have no complaints about the double boiler (which rests comfortably in a variety of Cuisinart pots, and possibly others.) It works great, has a generous capacity and comfortable handle, and cleans up like a dream.
That said, it's really easy to make your own double boiler at home, using a heavy sauce pan plus a durable glass or steel mixing bowl that rests comfortably on top, never touching the boiling water underneath. If you have all of this equipment, you probably don't need to purchase this piece. If you decide you want a dedicated double boiler, then this is a fine choice.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Universal Double Boiler with Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very pleased with the quality. When it arrived, I was surprised at how large it is. Considered sending it back for that reason--Primarily I just want it to reheat single-serving meals (and NOT use a microwave). But then I thought it's not a bad idea to be able to use it for larger servings. I love it. The curved bottom is nice, it's easy to clean and pretty and shiny enough that I hung it in the kitchen.(Which works better than on a shelf as the curved bottom naturally keeps it from staying upright--the photo is deceiving in that regard). Definitely recommend this and all Cuisinart pots & pans.

Paula Deen 2 Quart Double Boiler Set, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a double boiler. Of course I wanted one that was good quality, but not to pricey. I looked around where I live because I wanted to look at it, but we have really big ones. I was want to use it for candy and making frosting, so you see I just didn't need anything so big. This double boiler is top of the line in quality and the perfect size. I thought the price was a little more than I wanted to spend, but once I received it and used it. I decided it wasn't to high. It was perfect for my frosting and clean up was super easy. I highly recommend this pan. I will also be taking a look at some of Paula Dean's other cookware.

All-Clad 51125 All Clad Stainless-Steel 12-Inch Fry Pan with Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this pan today and made dinner for the family with it. It works well. The lid is reasonably well-fitting. I'm commenting here to note that when I saw this deal I wondered if it was too good to be true, but it's in fact the genuine article. And also - this pan is significantly lighter than my five- or six-year-old all-clad stainless 12" fry pan (which needed replacing after operator error) - about 1.22 kg vs 1.38 kg according to my kitchen scale. That's a plus for ease of use and cleanup, but the reduced mass must mean less heat retention if the design hasn't changed.

A useful addition to any busy kitchen, this classic 12-inch stainless-steel fry pan comes in handy for anything from sauteing vegetables or frying tofu to cooking up scrambled eggs or hash browns on a Saturday morning. Measuring 12-4/5 by 20-1/2 by 3 inches overall, its design includes gently flared sides that make it easy to slide a veggie omelet from the pan to a plate.
The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Its three-ply bonded design features a thick aluminum core sandwiched between an inside layer of 18/10 stainless steel and an outside layer of magnetic stainless steel, which work together to ensure fast heat-up times and even heat distribution along the base and up the sides. In addition, the cookware's 18/10 stainless-steel interior won't react with food, which means tomato-based sauces and other acidic foods won't taste metallic, and its magnetic stainless-steel exterior allows for use on induction as well as conventional stovetops.
The cookware's solid stainless-steel handle stays cool to the touch and offers a comfortable, ergonomic grip, plus it comes riveted to the pan for safety and long-lasting strength. The versatile fry pan can go safely in the oven up to 500 degrees F and under the broiler, and it comes with a stainless-steel lid that helps keep in heat, moisture, and nutrients. When finished, clean the pan and its lid by hand (recommended) or in the dishwasher. Made in the USA, the cookware carries a limited lifetime warranty.

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!
