"5* Dutch Oven" 2010-04-18
By jbuys (Illinois)
Everything has basically been said already. I would prefer seasoning cast iron myself, but that's not an option with Lodge anymore. That aside this is still a five star dutch oven.

"Buy, cook, and savor!" 2010-03-07
By Jeff (Toluca Lake, CA)
This is a beautiful Dutch oven that comes with a self basting lid (a nice touch). To add to your collection, purchase the 12" Lodge iron skillet, but pass on the costly skillet lid. The lid for this Dutch oven is the "Perfect" fit for the 12" skillet.

I could not be more satisfied with the speed of delivery and quality of the merchandise.

As a side note: Avoid the use of Pam Spray (at all cost), regardless of Lodge recommendations. Pam build-up is unrelenting with it's accumulation of glue-like residue, requiring great effort to remove it, should you decide to soap and scour your ironware for re-seasoning. I have been using cast iron cookware for many years, and highly recommend that you only season and prep your cookware with a light coat of vegetable oil, canola oil or a combination of the two. Many recommend the use of Crisco...I do not. It smokes and stinks in the oven, and does no better job of seasoning your cookware. Bake your (soaped, cleaned and dried) oiled cookware at 350 degrees for one our, then wipe clean with a cloth towel while still hot enough to handle. When ready to cook, wet a paper towel with oil, spread it about the cooking surface and you're ready for non-stick cooking.

Cast Iron is fun to use, just take care of it..

"Glad I chose it!" 2010-02-05
By B. homen (Walnut Creek, Ca.)
After using my grandfather's hand-me-down cast iron skillet for two decades, I decided it was time to spend $200 on a new one. I read dozens of reviews, including Cooks Illustrated, Target, Amazon, etc. I am VERY happy I chose the Lodge. Stews, roasts, Mediterranean dishes (recommending a Tagine), even bread, cook perfectly The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the weight when taking it out of oven with a stew or roast. Use proper lifting posture (bend knees and use leg muscles, not back) and it's fine. And I saved about $130.

"Love it!" 2010-02-05
By Leanna J. Gable (Georgia USA)
I purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend who loves to cook. He wanted a set of cast iron and this met all of the criteria suggested by his favorite, science-loving celebrity chef. We have made stew and baked beans and chili and we adore it. The bale and the spikes on the inside of the lid are awesome features.

"Great outside on our open cooker" 2010-01-31
By Kathleen Thomas (Casco, MI United States)
I bought this to use on an outdoor burner when I make my homemade spaghetti sauce from our garden tomatoes. My recipe takes 2-1/2 hours to cook, so cooking inside was damaging the stove and my Farberware pans. This is very heavy and will stand the heat for the long cooking time. I love this dutch oven.

"Best 10 inch skillet" 2010-03-14
By enschick
We needed a 10 inch non stick skillet and this one works great for our needs.

"Exceptional pans for the sale price--I've bought 3" 2009-12-25
By AmazonComWoman (Dayton OH)
I originally started out looking for the entire Chef's Classic nonstick hard anodized cookware set after a friend spent the Friday after Thanksgiving in line at Macy's to get the 17-piece set for $500 off. First of all, Amazon had the same set on sale for the same price without the hassle of a Black Friday excursion, which was fantastic! But when I looked at the set, it had many pieces I didn't need (pots and pans)--only my nonstick skillets were in need of replacement. I chose the Cuisinart because of the great sale price, the hard anondized exterior, the nonstick interior, and especially because they are broiler safe, a go/no go stipulation on nonstick from my husband, who makes the best omelettes and frittatas on the planet. We had both the 12-inch and the 8-inch frying pans for almost a month now and we're exceptionally pleased with them, they turn out THE BEST egg dishes without sticking, go straight to the oven for broiling without hassle, and clean up easy in the sink. The 12-inch pan came with a chef's pan handle on the opposite side of the regular handle and my husband really, really likes that -- it's a big pan and it makes it very easy to handle, esp. when full of hot food. True, you can't just toss them in the dishwasher but very few good nonstick pans will let you do that anyway. They also have a very nice weight to them and cook evenly. Loved the two we bought so much that in the last week I ordered the 10-inch pan to round out the bunch. Can't say enough good things about this cookware line.

"Perfect for eggs" 2009-12-24
By Perry H. (Brookline, MA)
After several months of steady use, this pan has held well. I can make a perfect 3 egg omelet using no butter or oil. Absolutely nothing sticks to the cooking surface. Cleans-up great. A tremendous value.

"Great pan!" 2009-09-17
By Georgeanne (OKC, OK)
When my husband bought this pan for me, I was a little miffed that I didn't get to check it out first. :-) But, after just one use, I was hooked! NOTHING sticks to this pan. I've had it about a year, and couldn't be happier with it. I have never put it in the dishwasher (it's very easy to handwash). Couldn't be happier!

"great non-stick fry pan" 2009-09-12

We are very pleased with the non-stick surface of the cuisinart fry pans we bought. They wipe clean with ease.

"Lid broke without being touched" 2010-05-16
By Yuqiu Jiang (Boston, MA USA)
I have been using this thing for a week. Just now I found the lid broke in half. It was standing on a trivet, without anything in it, on the kitchen table, and without anything around it. It just broke by itself for no obvious reasons.

"Great little tea pot!" 2010-04-07
By L. Motyl (MA)
This is a great little tea pot that holds enough water for about 4 cups of tea. It brews great tasting tea and is suprizingly sturdy. I am very happy with this purchase and enjoy using this teapot daily!

"nice but.." 2010-04-06
By Carly
The teapot is nice but the glass is so delicate and I always afraide to brake it.

"Grosche Glasgow Teapot" 2010-03-13
By juniev (Foothill Ranch, CA)
This lovely teapot is exactly what I envisioned the ideal glass teapot would be. It scores highly on all the features I was looking for: quality, practicality, functionality and beauty. So often something that is aesthetically pleasing does not deliver, but this teapot definitely delivers on its promise and more. One of the ways I enjoy using it most is to steep fresh herbs: place fresh herbs (e.g., mint, tarragon, etc.) into the infuser, pour hot water into the infuser, and let steep for a few minutes. This teapot elevates the tea drinking experience! I highly recommend the Glasgow teapot and would not hesitate to purchase any of the other products offered by this manufacturer.

"Soooo Cute" 2010-02-15
By J. Means (TN, USA)
This is such a cute teapot/ infuser. Love that it's glass, so my tea doesn't have that nasty metal taste (blah#. It didn't come with temp setting instructions, but I set my stove on Medium. Please treat with care #duh, it's glass) :-P

Amazon.com Review

This versatile pan can be used for everything from a stovetop sauté of halibut to an oven-baked casserole. It's designed to look as good on the table as it does on the stove.
Bubble up a creamy polenta with gorgonzola or sauté chicken breasts, stuffed with brie and prosciutto, in this 11-inch Everything pan. From Circulon's new Infinite line of cookware, the versatile pan lives up to its name. The broad span of the pan accommodates all the applications of a sauté pan, while the extra depth permits soups and sauces. Oven- safe up to 500 degrees F, the Everything pan particularly suits dishes that cook both on the stovetop and in the oven, like fritattas or a potato galette.

Circulon crafted the open pann in durable hard-anodized aluminum with a fully-encapsulated stainless-steel base for premium heat convection and thorough insulation. The hi-low wave technology distributes even heat, while nonstick coating of the pan's exterior and interior ensures hassle-free cooking and cleaning. The chef transports the pan by two cast stainless-steel loop handles, riveted securely to its sides. Another loop handle sits atop the pan's stainless-steel lid. Unlike other hard-anodized cookware, the unique nonstick exterior renders the pan dishwasher- safe. A limited lifetime warranty covers this item. The pan measures 15 by 11 by 3 inches and weighs 3 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Technical Details

- It's more than just a nonstick. A combination of an improved Hi-Low wave technology and the most advanced nonstick formula available. Lab tests prove its #1 for durability and food release, outlasting all other nonsticks - guaranteed!
- Heavy gauge hard-anodized for outstanding durability and even heating - no hot spots that burn foods.
- Advanced nonstick exterior for easy cleaning.
- Professional quality stainless steel handles are permanently riveted to the pan for durability and are oven safe to 500°F
- Pan measures 15 by 11 by 3 inches and weighs 3 pounds upon shipping; limited lifetime warranty

"Exceptional Quality... as expected." 2009-08-25
By Stephan (Texas)
My only complaint is a minor one... the handles get a bit warm. Otherwise this is a great pan that I use almost daily.

"nice for free would not pay for it" 2009-08-23
By Morganna Wolf (Pacific NW)
This pan has a lot of functionality. It is just a great do anything pan

however
- it is not as heavy as I've come to expect from Cirulon
- the handles are not well attached
- it does not come with a lid

Just by look and feel I don't suspect I will have this as long as I've had my other Cirulon (other set is over 7 years old and still looks great and functions well); however I bought a bunch of pieces to add to my set and this was free. As a free product it is a great pan. It cleans up well and cooks evenly.

"Outstanding Quality" 2008-11-05
By S. Cook
I had purchased a Calphalon skillet from Amazon about 5 years ago and have used it continuously since then to the point that it needed to be replaced. I purchased this skillet on the Friday Sale and found it to be even more superior in quality. I have used it for about a month now and it continues to amaze me...there is practically no clean up and nothing sticks! I particularly like the grooved cooking surface. I would highly recommend this product....don't be fooled by cheaper skillets...you will be very disappointed!

"Very useful and durable" 2008-06-29
By Sudhanshu Grover (DEARBORN, MICHIGAN United States)
This is another gr8 purchase i made from amazon. Must say, really a gr8 product. Much better than many other non-stick brands. Make sure to wash it with soft sponge and only use wooden spatula on it and this product will last a lifetime, just as it was brand new.

"Keeps my fajita meat warm" 2010-02-08
By Anonymous Reviewer (USA)
We love to make our own fajitas (especially in a slumping economy). We used to cook the meat and vegetables and set them on a plate. By the time we got to our second flour tortilla, the meat had become cool/room temperature. Finally, our fajita meat stays hot through the whole meal. The only issue I have, it is VERY difficult for me not to put dish soap on these and wash them as I do other dishes. They always feel sort of oily fron the oil I have to put on them before I heat them in the oven. The handle hot pads are great. Careful....They come out of the oven SUPER hot, but it makes the experience so authentic.

"These work well" 2010-02-05
By Kristopher Wheeler (St. Louis MO.)
For the price these work really well. I have only used them a few times but I like them. They are worth it.

"Nice Fajita set" 2010-02-05
By Will's Mommy (Boston, MA USA)
After I got I reseasoned it in the oven with veggie oil like I do with all me new cast iron pans. Used it the other night for fajitas and the kids loved the sizzle! You don't really need this pan. It is mainly a frill. If you have the round griddle you can use that as well and it is larger. Just don't forget a trivet. Overall a good package for $18 and a lot cheaper than eating out for Fajitas!

"How did I live without these?" 2010-01-17
By Shelly (Pennsylvania)
These are a great addition to any kitchen. Designed for fajitas, they have many other uses. I grill steaks in my Lodge Logic grill pan and have these heating in the oven. There is nothing worse than having an expensive steak go cold - and these pans prevent that. A wonderful gift - very attractive as well as functional - and a must have for steak and fajita lovers.

"Lodge Logic 5Qt Double Dutch Oven" 2010-05-17
By Jill Kenyon (New England)
Have cooked with cast iron before but in moving "lost" all my pieces. This really flavors the food well, has even heat, and was well seasoned upon arrival. My only wish was that there were longer handles or removable handles, as they get very hot and are awkward to use with hot mitts. Overall, though, it's exactly what I was looking for.

"Cast iron goodness" 2010-05-10
By Bender
This dutch oven gets used at least a couple times a week. Mostly use the lid as a skillet and the non-stick surface is unbelievable. I believe it also conserves energy slightly because I have to use lower heat than when I use aluminum cookware and I can turn it off sooner since it holds heat and continues to cook or warm the food for a short time. I use the dutch oven to cook small roasts in and fry potatoes and chicken. It is an awesome fryer, just throw a screen lid over top and your set to fry the best chicken you ever had.

"Forgot how great it is to cook with cast iron!" 2010-04-19
By Anne Nonon (Midwest)
It's been years since I've used cast iron to cook with and I recently bought this dutch oven after reading many reviews of different brands.

I love this unit- you are basically getting 2 items for the price of one. Prior to purchasing this, I read the reviews and a few mentioned using the lid as a fry pan- and it does a wonderful job at that. I bought the trivet and my husband made bacon in the lid with the trivet to flatten the bacon- great job there!

My set arrived perfectly seasoned and ready for use. I did go ahead and reseasoned it prior to the 1st use, even though it wasn't necessary. From the first use and all the way to tonight's dinner, which was superb, we have yet to be disappointed.
Even though cast iron may be a little heavier- it does such a great job at cooking evenly. I made a pork roast with veggies and at a little less than the normal temp I bake it, this dinner cooked considerably faster. The meat was incredibly moist and the veggies were just right!

Clean up is a snap- I had went ahead a purchased a Dobie scrubby from a local store, which is fine to use on these and less expensive than the Lodge (sorry Lodge- have to recommend what works best and saves money here) scrub brush. It cleans up quickly and after a thorough towel dry- it is ready for the next meal!

This is a very well constructed product and the fact that is made in the USA makes it all the better. I am already getting ready to order the 12 inch Lodge skillet and looking at other items, as I feel these are well worth the money and I'm certainly not breaking the bank to get these incredible items!

"Versatile and vital kitchen tool" 2010-04-14

Muliti-use describes this dutch oven. Great for baking bread. Use it for everything. The lid makes an excellent searing pan as well.

"A nice little oven" 2010-03-30
By Leslie Shortlidge (Columbus, OH United States)
I like this dutch oven! Ours arrived in perfect shape (and with free shipping!). My only advice would be to order a lid with a handle. The skillet cover is a bit hard to manipulate, so I ordered the lid soon after using this pot a couple of times.

"Great deal!" 2010-03-31

The pans are great! Initially I was concerned that the pans were described as blemished. On the outer edge of the larger pan there is a nearly imperceptible ding which has no functional effect whatsoever. Considering how much I saved thanks to that blemish, I smile whenever I notice it.

By Aleks (washington)
skillets are thinner than expected and the silicone/rubber handle had a spot where a piece was bitten off. But they do fry okay.

"Love them" 2010-03-06
By M. Dana (Commerce Twp., MI USA)
My wife bought thease since our Analon set did not come with a 12 inch pan. Quality is great, clean up is easy, we love them.

"Definate disappointment." 2010-03-02
By C. Kos (WI USA)
I've used Anolon Advanced for years and needed to replace 3 of my pans. I ordered them offline after reading the description which was described exactly as my original pans but alas, they're not. The 10" is almost 1/2 the weight of the original pan and I don't like the feel of the new non-stick pans.. it's very rough. I will return these and look to another line of cookware for the same weight pans that Anolon used to offer. What a shame, I loved my Anolon cookware!

"Not as well made as older versions of same brand" 2010-02-26
By J. Godsey (Lafayette CA)
I was delighted at the price of this item, as I had purchased the same brand years ago and had worked through the teflon on some of my saute pans. What arrived was not at all the same quality or heft of what I had before, even though the brand is exactly the same. This pan is still well made, but I don't get the same sense of confidence that it will heat evenly as I do with the older models of the same pan.

By ShoeLover81 (Michigan)
I have bought several cheaper non-stick pans to go with my set of All-Clad (which are not non-stick). I've thrown them all out after a few months because they scratch and the non-stick wears off. I've only had these pans a couple months, but they are awesome! You have to make sure to follow the care instructions (no dishwasher, no high heat etc.) but they are awesome! I love them!

Super products. Very well made, and I use at least one of the two daily.
KitchenAid products are superior. They don't scratch easily because the coating is incorporated into the skillet.
Safe for my birds to be in the house when I am cooking with them. Teflon is deadly to birds. These are not Teflon.

Amazon.com Review

All-Clad's highly polished stainless steel interior and pure aluminum core doesn't react with acidic foods, heats quickly and is energy efficient. This indispensable tool will help you prepare sauces, veggies, and reheat soup or stew.
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. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between layers of stainless steel is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished 18/10 stainless steel, so it's stick-resistant as well as stain- and corrosion-resistant. The exterior is made of gleaming, magnetic stainless steel that works on induction as well as conventional stovetops, and, with care, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond.

This classic, straight-sided 2-quart saucepan makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless line is so popular. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly in the pan, even though it's 4-1/4 inches deep. And because the interior is nonreactive, the taste of tomato-based pasta sauces and other acidic foods won't be metallic. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. The long handle (holed for hanging on a hook or peg) stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

From the Manufacturer
All-Clad Stainless Construction
Each piece of All-Clad cookware features a unique metal bonding construction. All-Clad Stainless cookware sandwiches a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless-steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless-steel exterior gives the cookware a gleaming finish. All-Clad Stainless also features the company’s signature "stay-cool" long handles, lids fashioned from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel, and highly durable stainless-steel rivets. All-Clad Stainless cookware is one of five collections from All-Clad Metalcrafters. Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as induction cooktops, All-Clad Stainless cookware is the best-selling collection in a full line that includes All-Clad LTD, Cop-R-Chef, Master Chef 2, and Copper Core.

Features and Benefits
All-Clad pans with a stainless interior cooking surface are oven-safe up to 500 degrees. All-Clad pans with a non-stick cooking surface are oven-safe up to 400 degrees, but should not be used under the broiler. We recommend using a low to medium temperature when cooking with All-Clad. Higher heats are not necessary and may cause discoloration (see cleaning instructions below). Other features include:

Beautifully polished, magnetic stainless exterior layer.
Pure aluminum core that not only covers the bottom of the pan but also extends up the sides. This allows for great heat conductivity as well as an even heat distribution so you won’t have "hot spots" when cooking.
Stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface.
Long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles.
Sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets won't react with foods.
Polished stainless-steel lids fit evenly with the pan’s edges to seal in flavor of your foods.
The All-Clad Stainless collection is compatible with an induction stovetop (with the exception of a few pieces) in addition to gas and electric stovetops.
The Stainless collection is dishwasher-safe, excluding pieces with a nonstick cooking surface.

Warranty
From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.

Cleaning Instructions
For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. Clean your All-Clad thoroughly after each use. Food films left of the pan may cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, we recommend cleaning your All-Clad with a product called Bar Keeper’s Friend. To use the Bar Keeper’s Friend, simply use a soft cloth or sponge and water and make into a soupy paste. This can be used on the interior, as well as the exterior of your All-Clad (excluding the Cop-R-Chef). The Bar Keeper’s Friend can also be used on the exterior of the All-Clad Stainless collection, LTD collection, and MC2 collection. For cleaning of the Cop-R-Chef exterior, simply use a brass/copper cleaner. If your water has a high iron content, you may notice a rusty discoloration. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend to remove it.

All-Clad Stainless Selection
In recent years, a professional-size 14-inch fry pan was added to the Stainless fry pan assortment, as well as several popular specialty pans, including: the small-size petite brasier with a dome-shaped lid; petite roti roasting pan; and the beautiful, large-capacity Dutch oven and French oven oval roasting pan with roasting rack. Both of these one-pot comfort food specialty pans comes with All-Clad’s popular high dome-shaped lid. Other specialty pans include a larger brasier pan with domed-shape lid; a complete family of round-shaped saucier saucepans for versatile stove-top cooking; a flare-sided Windsor pan in two sizes, designed for reduction and the creation of rich sauces; and a contemporary "Soup for Two" 3-1/2-quart soup pot; casseroles; an open stir fry; a versatile wok-style chef’s pan; and a "Pasta Pentola" 7-quart stockpot with colander insert and lid. All saucepans, casseroles, sauté pans, stock pots, and specialty items come with lids. Double boiler and steamer inserts, including the large steamer insert for 6-quart, 8-quart and 12-quart stockpots, are available as well. Stainless cookware sets are available in various sizes, from a starter 5-piece to a complete 10-piece set.

"right size" 2010-04-07
By Brendan J. Moore (Lincoln, NE)
I have always used the 1 qt size for heating soups and sauces. When making something that yeilds 1 qt however, things would be close to overflowing. The next size larger I had was 3 qt, which was way too large. The quality of the All-Clad is supurb, like everything else they make. All-Clad had now come up with 5d, so these "older" products are often on sale. I have been very pleased with the other "older" products and found this to be a great bargin.

"All-Clad 4-Quart Saucepan" 2010-01-22
By Carole O'Connell
Long have I coveted All-Clad cookware, and finally treated myself to three pieces, including this one. They say a watched pot never boils, but I couldn't help but watch this one. The pan heated the water evenly and my pasta cooked in a lot less time than I expected. I look forward to years of cooking bliss with this pan.

"Nice Pan" 2010-01-08
By Benjamin Halsted (Denver, CO)
This is a really nice pan exhibiting the typical All-Clad quality. The construction is flawless and the pan provides even heating at low temperatures. While this is an expensive item it's definitely worth the price.

"great pot" 2009-03-08
By C. Spota (Long Island)
this is a very good quality pot but the handle is too long like most all clad pots - they take up too much room on the stove and in the cabinet

I'm glad I made this purchase. It is a great pan to own especially if you aren't cooking a big meal. Amazon is the only place I could find this pan! I own alot of All-Clad pots and pans and I love this one!

"great for soup" 2010-04-20
By Christina (NY, NY)
This pot is great for making soup. I love the bowl shape! It is easy to work with & cooks beautifully. So happy with this I bought a second one (at amazing price of $23) for my mom.

-edit: I forgot to mention that I use it on ceramic glass top & it works perfectly (heats quickly & evenly).

"shape good, spots bad" 2010-03-08
By scottfeldstein (waukesha, WI United States)
If you're worried about the unusual shape being a problem, forget about it. Any concern I had about the non-vertical sides making this pot tippy proved unfounded. it's as good at boiling pasta as it is simmering soup. I have, however, noticed small spots forming on the bottom (inside) of the pot. These could not be removed with barkeeper's friend. They're very small and I'm not too worried about it. But I know other reviewers have noted it and returned the item.

"Exactly What I Needed" 2010-03-06
By Jean Baraclough (Hagerstown, MD)
I bought three Cuisinart pans at the same time. I decided on this one instead of a Dutch oven and am so glad I did. I can cook almost anything in this pot. The size is generous. I love the slope of the side walls -- makes it really easy to work with whatever is in the pot. It moves easily from the stovetop to the oven, which was a priority for me. All handles and lids are oven-compatible. It isn't quite as heavy as I would have hoped, thus the four stars instead of five. But, it cleans easily, cooks evenly and is a perfect all-around pot.

"Multi Pot for multi uses!" 2010-01-25
By P. Taylor (Central PA)
I have had this pot for at least 3 years now. It comes in handy so many different times when I am cooking. I have been able to keep it looking brand new with a little Bar Keepers Friend when it is needed. It makes a great soup pot, chili pot, spaghetti sauce pot, it just seems like I am always pulling it out of the cupboard for one thing or another. It heats very evenly, has a nice heavy bottom and I love the glass lid so you can see what is going on in the pot without opening the lid. I had purchased a set of the Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Steel Cookware from a local store, THEN came home and checked out Amazon. Learned my lesson there, always check Amazon first! I got the set of pans considerably cheaper right here on Amazon than from the store and I got this very pot as a free bonus, sure couldn't beat that!! The store clerk when I returned it asked me why I was returning it. I told her I found it cheaper on Amazon, she said 'Oh you should always look there first."

"poor quality - used once and noticed spots just from boiling water" 2009-12-31
By D. Richards (Detroit, MI United States)
Bought this pan at a major department store. Used the pan once to make pasta. Upon boiling the water we noticed spots inside the bottom of the pan. We quickly emptied the water and sure enough, the spots were still there. The three black spots would not clean up. It's almost as if the aluminum is defective. We'll be returning the pot for a full refund and we will be weary about Cuisinart cookware in the future.

By Home Movie Buff (San Jose, CA United States)
I've been trying to get away from teflon flat bottom woks and go with the traditional iron round woks. The issue is that the wok was too unstable on my stove. Buying this wok ring worked wonders for making it much more stable. I can now place it on my stove flipped upside down from the posted photo and get the gas flame directly on the iron wok. If I bring the wok to the table I bring the wok ring and place it as shown in the original photo to make an easy way of serving food from the wok.

Works great on my 15" wok on a Kenmore iron top gas range.

"Cuisinart S/S Cookware Set" 2010-05-06
By T. A. EVERTON (Left coast of the U.S.A.)
I LOVE this set! The quickness and the evenness of heating is remarkable. They may not be non-stick, but having worked with metal for over a quarter century I was able to wet-sand the inside of the saute/fry pans to 2500 grit, and, with a little oil, they are just wonderful. I highly recommend this set for anyone, like myself, who truly enjoys preparing food.

"exellent cookware" 2010-03-05
By M. Goodwin
I researched for a cookware set a lot. I wanted to get the most for my money since I was on a budget. I came across this set after reading a lot of reviews that for the most part were very helpful. I decided to buy this set based upon what I have read about them. I have had this set for a month now.If you are looking to buy an expensive set don't even bother. This set is great. I cook every night with this set and haven't found anything to complain about. They cook very evenly, durable, clean up is very easy and they look great. I have had no problems with this set at all and if you are familiar with cooking with stainless steel I believe you will enjoy this set as much as I do and for the money you can't go wrong. Amazon was good as always.

"no issues ........ as of yet" 2010-02-11
By Doug E (San Jose, CA)
We have had a RevereWare set for about 10 years and it was falling apart. I searched and found the Cuisinart 14 piece Chef's Choice set fit our needs. My wife wanted an all stainless set, but was hesitant with all the talk about difficult clean-up and burning of food. That couldn't be further from the truth with this set. We have used it every day for about a month now and have not come across any issues with clean-up or buring of food. I use a gas range and have no problem with heat control or having to use "half" the heat setting like other reviews suggest. We do plan ahead when moving from a boil to a simmer, as it takes time for the pan to cool down. Every pot I have ever used gets water spots from boiling with hard water and this is not a sore spot with me. The ONLY concern I have is that the set is made in CHINA and was not aware of this at the time of purchase. I am requesting that Cuisinart send me a written warranty that covers MATERIALS and NOT just workmanship. It has been quite evident from recent news items that CHINA has had an established history using/manufacturing with toxic chemicals (melamine in baby formula and lead paint in childrens toys for example). I hope that Cuisinart is assuring that the stainless being used is actually stainless and not a toxic brew with other heavy metals. I would reccomend this set to those who would like a good stainless set at a good price.

Actually, I bought this set for my son. He has become interested in cooking lately especially after drooling over the food network shows. (who doesn't?) He loves his new cookware, it is cuisinart quality and should provide many years of enjoyment. A big plus is that the set has a steamer insert, a must as far as I'm concerned. It is a very nice set.Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 14-Piece Cookware Set

You'll love being able to look through the tempered glass lids to monitor cooking progress. With non-stick cookware you choose how much additional fat or oil you'll add to your recipe. Heavy gauge anodized aluminum assures you a lifetime of impressive service. By purchasing a set you get this fine cookware at the best possible price and all the pieces you may ever need.
Harder than steel and coated inside with DuPont's exceptionally durable, three-layer Autograph nonstick, the pots and pans in this 12-piece set outfit a kitchen with cookware that's rugged enough for everyday use and looks great on the stovetop or in open storage. Made of hard-anodized aluminum, the pots and pans heat quickly and evenly without hot spots, resist scratching and denting, and are oven-safe to 500 degrees F. Hollow, 18/10 stainless-steel handles polished to a mirror finish stay cool on the stove and are riveted for durability. Handles and rims on tempered-glass lids match the handles in looks and permit cooking to be monitored without releasing heat.

The set consists of 2-quart and 3-quart saucepans with lids; a 4-quart saucepot with lid; a 5-quart sauté pan with lid; an 8-quart stockpot with lid; a 4-quart stainless-steel steamer insert; and a 10-inch skillet. Anolon Professional cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects, and lids are guaranteed against breakage for a lifetime. --Fred Brack

These pans are excellent cookware, look great, and are extremely durable. The one down side is that they are heavy. I definately recommend them, though.

"Perfectly pleased" 2010-03-15
By M. E. Boldt (Arcade, NY United States)
I purchased this set a little over two years ago for my wife and she has been completely thrilled. The price is exceptional for a set of this quality. Up until we bought these, we had been getting by with the remnants of a Farberware set received as a gift more than 20 years ago, plus some odds and ends. My wife didn't realize what she had been missing! She uses one or more of these pans every day, always is careful to hand wash them, and the nonstick surfaces still look like new.
The only unfortunate thing is we (apparently) can't buy additional or replacement pieces that exactly match (the 2 qt saucepan got dropped on the stone tile floor in our kitchen and has a slightly bent edge). Otherwise, no complaints ... only high recommendations.

"Hot to Handle" 2010-01-28
By Kevin Ledoux (Mapleleaf, Seattle, WA United States)
The overall value on this set is outstanding. Non-stick on the pots is holding up well after a full year's use but the frying pan is another story. The non-stick isn't peeling off yet but it is a lot less effective than it was when it arrived. This can easily be amended by enough oil, so we cope.
My real gripe about this set is the handles on the lids. They get very hot. Enough so that they cannot be picked up by hand. I have other glass lids that use the smallest plastic insulators with great success, but with these you might as well just pick up the lid by it's edge. I have a feeling that this is the main reason for the extreme price reduction.
If you're OK with always using a pot holder I say go for it.

"Nonstick wears out unfortunately" 2010-01-17
By Inside9 (Sebastopol,CA)
These pans were billed as "professional". Unfortunately, if used as a pro might use them, that is on a regular basis, the "autograph" nonstick will lose its effectiveness in less than three years. I plan on trying to take my piece back or send it back to Meyer. I will report back on the response. Its too bad, because I really liked the pan, but who knows maybe the latest "autograph" is a bit better.

"Too Hot To Handle" 2010-01-10
By California (California)
The pot handles collect heat from adjacent burners and the ingredients. Perhaps because they are hollow, being rolled from thin sheet metal. The nice polished finish on the handles are slippery when there is anything on your hands or splatter from ingredients. We "live" in our kitchen and expect more from a cooking set. Sorry, but these are going back. Now what?

Cooks lighter meals, healthier, fast and easy. 3 to 10 times faster than ordinary methods - faster than a microwave. Chicken, fish, vegetables and more cook to perfection in minutes. Tenderizes leaner cuts of beef and pork. New ergonomically designed handles.
Pressure cookers have experienced renewed popularity over the last several years because cooks have rediscovered what some cooks (particularly grandmas) have known for a long time--they're really fast. And it's easy to cook healthfully with pressure cookers, since the food retains so much more of its nutrients and flavor. Presto's 4-quart stainless steel pressure cooker is a multi-purpose pot that can stand in as a conventional saucepan as well as perform the kitchen magic that pressure cookers are famous for. Chicken Cacciatore cooks in 8 minutes! This professional-quality stainless steel pressure cooker is a handy addition to any well-rounded set of kitchen tools.

The heavy-duty lid locks down during cooking; an inner sealing ring keeps the steam in. In addition to a pop-up pressure indicator and a simple steam release mechanism, there is an overpressure plug that will let off steam if it builds up excessively. This pressure cooker is useful for weeknight dinners or for any meal that needs to come together quickly. An accompanying booklet contains more than 65 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even desserts like 5-minute custards! Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork; or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture.

Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this stainless steel pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. The Presto 4-quart pressure cooker is fully immersible; in addition, the sealing ring should be removed after each use to allow cleaning of the inside rim of the lid. The vent pipe is simple to keep clean with a small brush or pipe cleaner, and both the air vent/cover lock and the overpressure plug are removable. The pressure cooker measures 9 inches in diameter (16-1/2 inches including handles) and 6-1/2 inches tall (including lid). Presto guarantees this pressure cooker with an extended 12-year warranty. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. --Garland Withers

Technical Details

- Heavy-duty 4-quart stainless steel pressure cooker
- Comfortably ergonomic, stay-cool black plastic handles
- Strong-lock lid with steam vent, pressure indicator and overpressure plug
- Comes with rack for steaming food or for canning
- 16-1/2 by 6-1/2 inches; 12-year warranty

"Love this Presto!" 2010-05-08
By J. Graves
This is my second Presto pressure cooker. Previously I had a much bigger aluminum one to go with my much bigger family. I loved using it, but it was much too large. I found the 4-quart just right and have used it A LOT since it arrived. I have not had any of the problems getting the lid on that other reviewers mentioned. I am very happy with the cooker. I think Presto makes a really high-quality product.

"Good Quality" 2010-04-22
By Y. OGGEL (Bonita Springs, FL)
I've had several pressure cookers. This one is easy to handle, good quality, and so far so good in terms of stains. I read the instructions, and follow them to the letter. Love my pressure cooker.

"Great pressure cooker but Fagor is better for a few more bucks" 2010-04-13
By Naveen Narula (Alpharetta, GA, USA)
I have both Presto and Fagor pressure cookers. Both are well engineered and do their job well. I personally prefer the Fagor for 3 reasons
(1) Fagor has a steam release setting, which releases steam safely, regardless of the existing pressure. There is rarely a need to run the cooker udner cold water for rapid cooling. To rapidly release steam in a Presto, one has to prop up the top cap and manually let the steam escape. This can be dangerous if not done carefully.
(2) Fagor cookers are a lot quieter. The hiss of escaping team is barely audible. Not so for Presto.
(3) As an earlier reviewer has commented, Presto is not suited for cooking rice. I have done that by immediately reducing the heat as pressure builds up, just a minor irritant. Fagor cooks rice just fine.

The Presto is still is well designed cooker which will give years of great service. It also has cheaper replacement parts than Fagor. All in all, since Fagor is only a few dollars more, I prefer a Fagor.

"Works as described!" 2010-03-31
By Terry (CA)
I have been using an airbake baking sheet for the past 5 years now. I bought this because I wanted another one. It is the best baking sheet I have ever used. It delivers consistent heat with no hot spots. I have never burnt anything using this sheet, including the bottom of cookies. I recommend it to everyone.

"Meets Expectations" 2010-03-27
By T. Sanchez
I needed a large sheet that would not "pop" out of shape during baking (okay with most cookies, but not at all good for bread that just finished rising). The thickness of this insulated sheet prevents that, so I'm happy. The only reason I didn't give it 4 stars is because the top is not perfectly flat. (It looks like it was crushed a little and the inner structure shows through slightly.) I can't think of anything this would affect, but it didn't arrive in perfect shape, so only 4 stars.

It is a nice size! I would definitely order again!

"Wife very happy with these" 2010-02-08

"LOVE it but...." 2010-04-07
By TankGirl (Sacramento)
This teakettle was everything I wanted! I get ridiculously specific ideas in my head of what I want and I wanted a pretty orange teakettle. It's got a nice shape, a handle that stays cool and the color is to DIE for. HOWEVER, the surface came marred (not grossly) a couple of little scratches, a couple of small spots that look like steel wool got to it, minor really, but I bought it specifically because of the finish. What's irritating is that Amazon had one listed as scratched at half the price AND free shipping. If I had known the surface wasn't going to be perfect I would have gone ahead and saved a bunch of money!

It looks AMAZING on my stove though!

"Gorgeous, Awesome Tea Kettle" 2010-03-24

This tea kettle is the bees knees. It's fun to look at, it whistles loud so I can hear it while I'm getting ready, and it's well made. Would definitely recommend this tea kettle.

This is absolutely adorable! The color is a
bold cranberry metallic. It looks very nice
on any color stove. I leave it there as a
decoration. It cleans up great. Whistle is
not loud whatsoever. You don't have to use
the whistle mechanism if you choose.
Would recommend to anyone who is looking
for a durable, yet sharp looking tea kettle.

Heavy Cast Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner
This heavy-duty pressure cooker's large capacity is probably best utilized for canning (though it would also be great for a number of cooking tasks). A pressure cooker is generally recommended when canning vegetables and nonacid fruit, since the high heat that can be generated will kill more bacteria than a regular hot water bath. Made from cast aluminum, with sturdy screws to seal the lid to the pot, this pressure cooker requires no rubber or plastic gaskets or rings. Its 15-1/2-quart capacity holds 10 pint jars or 7 quart jars. A three-setting pressure regulator valve is included, and the pressure gauge gives a clear reading. Made in Wisconsin, this is an American classic. --Julija Gelazis

Technical Details

- 15-1/2-quart pressure cooker/canner holds 10 pint jars or 7 quart jars
- Made of durable, hand-cast aluminum with attractive satin finish
- Exclusive "metal-to-metal" sealing system for a steam-tight seal; no gaskets
- Geared steam gauge, automatic overpressure release; settings of 5 psi, 10 psi, and 15 psi
- 12-1/2 inches high with 7-1/2-inch inside diameter; made in USA

"I love my all american" 2010-03-25
By June Cordeiro (Oregon)
I absolutely love my all american. I like the fact that it takes care of the pressure pretty much on it's own. I can check it every so often but don't have to sit on it. It's also easier with the way it closes with screws. Much easier than my old presto. The only problem I have had is the black part on a couple of the screws is loose, so I have to remove to untwist. But other than that I am extremely happy with it.

"Pressure cooker" 2010-01-03
By G. Kent Bittner (Williamsport, Pa. USA)
This was ordered for next years harvest. Received in excellent condition. As described and replaces another model that used a rubber seal. Expect results will be favorable since it is a well made, American made product, that will be around longer than I will. It would be nice if more manufacturers would realize the value in making and selling products manufactured in the USA. We purchased the All-American canner simple because it was an USA product.

"Cindy McCament" 2009-10-16
By CINDY MCCAMENT
Works great! I have a smooth top glass stove and had a little bit of concern as to how well this would work on it. I have no problem getting it to reach the pressure I need and maintaining it. The lid is a little tricky to get on, but once you get used to it, it works great. Make sure to put vaseline around the rim of the lid as suggested in the manual. It really makes a difference.

"What a fantastic kitchen tool!" 2009-10-01
By Kenneth Rogoski
My wife and I originally purchased the All-American 15-1/2 to do some canning, however we have been using it non-stop for making meals!

Just thinking how many times we ate out or had something quick and easy for dinner, I decided to use it to make a pork roast. I browned the pork and seasoned well, popped it into the cooker and 45 minutes later we were eating the juiciest, most tender pork roast we have ever had.

We have been making meals with the All-American like this almost every night. I can now cook a meal usually reserved for lazy Sunday afternoons after a long day at work.

3 pound pork roast: 45 Minutes! Delicious!!
5 pound Beef roast: 50 Minutes! Fantastic!!

We have done Ham in record time, made delicious chicken stock, etc...

I really couldn't live with out it now.

I love the heavy construction, and the ease of use. This one is made to last,,,FOREVER!!

Comparing the All-American to others on the market, sure it was more expensive, but it was absolutely worth the small difference in price.

A ten pound bone-in ham just fits in the 15-1/2 quart model. Keep that in mind!

"Should be sold with screwdriver" 2009-09-01
By V. McMartin
I bought this canner after receiving a recommendation from someone else with the same model. hers is a few years older and she's never had a problem.

but every time I open mine I need to pry it open with a screwdriver. I greased it and followed the directions. and still it's a problem.

I called the company and they said that I should expect to need to pry it open for it's 1st 12 uses then it shouldn't need teh screwdriver anymore and that the manual says what to do when it seals shut. yes the manual does say to pry it open but it's in the back of the manual with the other things you never expect to happen.

This canner should come with a screwdriver/prybar whatever because you can't open it without one and the box should mention this as well. If I had known about this problem and if the company was upfront about it, i'd be alot happier. but it annoys me that they are aware of the issue and don't consider it a problem.

I never kept a screwdriver in my kitchen before, now it's in the drawer right next to the stove. :(

"Nice looking but stains -- as others have noted" 2010-05-09
By anonymous (California)
Beautiful out of the box and good heat distribution, but we've had the problem other reviewers noted: stains (possibly rust) on the inside, starting after the first use. And in general pot seems difficult to clean versus similar pots we've use. It has been cared for gently. Amazon's return policy is good but Cuisinart must know of the rust problem and puts the onus on the trusting customer. Consider Ross or Marshalls for low-key low-price cookware purchases.

"souper star!" 2010-04-14
By A. Sanders (Baltimore, Maryland)
Perfect size for a big batch of soup or a pound of pasta. Heats evenly, handles stay relatively cool, the top fits well. I agonized over which size to get, and the 8 quart is perfect for a family of four. I'm glad I got it and use it frequently.

"Very nice but takes forever to heat up" 2010-04-13

Wish I'd had one of these for years! We cook out a LOT but this particular winter was colder, wetter and so much more windy that others that we were forced inside....even in our island climate.

"does the job and build to last" 2010-01-26
By MichaelM (Los Anegles, CA USA)
I purchased the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill Pan a month ago. It is better then I expected. The anodized surface is smooth and nonstick. Unlike Teflon which is easily scratched, this coating feels rigid and build to last.
I dont know how they do it, as its all metal parts (pan, connectors and handle), but even when the pan is very hot, the handle remains cool and easy to grab.
Unlike some other grill pans, the ridges in this pan are smooth and rounded, and not sharp. So when I put some oil in this pan, it easily spreads across. Yet the ridges are not too low, so when I grill meat, it remains dry as the emitted fluids have sufficient gaps to flow into.

Usually soap and water is sufficient to keep it clean after some grilling. But be careful if you plan to use stronger cleaning agents, my wife used a Cold Action Grease And Oil Remover and the color faded from some parts of pan.

All in all its a good grill pan, and I recommend it.

"Not nonstick" 2010-01-07
By Reasoned Opinions (San Francisco, CA.)
I had the regular version of the Calphalon grill pan but had grown tired of the laborious process of cleaning it after each use so switched to the nonstick version. I have to say I can't see any difference between the two. Both do a fine job in terms of even heating and nice creation of grill marks, but they also are both equally difficult to clean afterwards. And this applies across using them each with a variety of foods at a variety of temperatures. I see no need to spend the extra money on the non-stick version.
