Sportula Products Baltimore Ravens Stainless Steel Grilling Spatula

I got this as a gift for my brother-in-law, who is a huge Ravens fan. He loved it! The spatula is very heavy duty and the logo is crisp and looks great.

Bayou Classic 7442 14" Square Cast Iron Reversible Griddle

This is a very robust piece of cookware. I give it a 3 star because realistically, you'll only be able to use one side, so pick which one you will want to use and stick to it. The reason is, once you've got one side all good and seasoned, when you flip it to use the other side, that seasoning you worked hard to get will warp and you have to start over; Also, whatever you cook on the other side will taste like stove burner because that's where it's been all this time!

This seems to be one of those products where the idea is much better than the reality of it. While seasoning the product per the instructions, this griddle warped pretty badly. It doesn't seem like anyone else has had this issue, so maybe I received a defective one, but nonetheless after I researched reversable griddles a bit there seems to a be a general consensus that they don't perform as well. While you have one side established and seasoned, as soon as you flip it and apply direct heat, it will diminish the other sides seasoning and can also cause the grease/seasoning to drip right onto your heat source. It can blacken glass stove tops etc. The handles also are completely flush to the sides and this thing is impossible to pick up once you lay it on a flat surface. It's also very heavy. I returned and got 1 flat and 1 grill griddle made by Lodge, so far they have performed much better, are lighter in weight, are already seasoned and I am not risking damaging them or my stove top.

I uploaded pictures of my Bayou Classic 14" square cast iron reversible griddle so everyone can see the very low quality of the product. This griddle is warped 1/4" and after calling the manufacturer they told me that this is normal. Just look at the pictures of what the manufacturer shipped me and you can tell they take no pride in the product they are selling.

Like all cast iron cookware, not preseasoned, preseasoning is an absolute MUST. I use this product with the Bayou Classic Single Burner.It makes awsome eggs, bacon, and grilled cheese... whatever, with lots of space for cooking a bunch at once.

Great for camps, or just in the backyard for fun.

Mini Hibachi for use with Sterno #Hib-01

I recently purchased a Mini Hibachi Grill from House of Rice through Amazon.com and was very happy with it. It was for a gift, so I was glad to see that it came very secure, and with all of its parts. (Nothing was broken, everything was there.) I have been looking for this particular item for a very long time...my best friend saw it at a local restraunt where they put sterno gel in it and cooked marshmallows over it, making s'mores. Super cute...needless to say, she was thrilled with her birthday present ;-). I wish it would have come sooner (I had to give it to her late). Other than that, very pleased with my purchase!!! Thanks!

This hibachi is very small. It's ok for making Smores, but be warned that you can only toast one marshmallow at a time.

Buy Mini Hibachi for use with Sterno #Hib-01 Now

After reading the reviews, I had to submit a review myself. This item is very small and is not intended to grill large pieces of meat, not even a hamburger. It's great for marshmallows and smores. Family and guests will have a great time using this item, even indoors. It's also great for grilling small thin pieces of meats (Japanese style). You aren't supposed to use charcoal as others have implied in a previous review. You're supposed to use sterno. If you can't find small cans of sterno, you can scoop a teaspoonful amount from a large sterno can and just dump it into the bottom of the grill. This item deserves a five star, if you use it as intended.

Works great! Not sure why someone rated it badly unless they had a can of old sterno. I had no problem getting it to work right away. Pu Pu platters are very common in the north but unheard of in the south. I decided to order my own.

Want Mini Hibachi for use with Sterno #Hib-01 Discount?

I purchased some of these as gifts for making s'mores and also one for myself. It was a little tricky finding the right fuel because the shape did not allow any of the small gel fuel cans that I could find to fit inside. I ended up going to Joe's and getting Stansport Fuel Tablets. I just put one tablet inside the mini hibachi and lit it with a match. It took about a minute to warm up and then it was no problem lighting my marshmallow on fire. The tablet burned for about 10 minutes which seemed like a safe time frame. Now I can make s'mores without a campfire!

Landmann 28347 Big Sky Fire Pit, Wildlife

We purchased the fire pit for use in the Southern Arizona High Desert. A major consideration is fire safety. The screened cover for the top is heavy, fits well, and keeps the sparks in the pit. The animals outlined on the side of the device are also totally screened. We have used the pit several times now with just my wife and I as well as to cook and roast marshmallows with visitors. The grill fits very well and food cooks quickly. We burn only mesquite wood, cut on our property. The pit drafts very well and I start the fire with just one wadded full sheet of newspaper. Charcoal lighter fluid is unnecessary. The fire burns well, the sparks stay behind the screens, and ash dust is all that remains after it burns out. The animal outlines on the sides of the pit are just beautiful in the darkness. The pit is large enough to provide a warm and beautiful fire without approaching its considerable capactiy. The poker that comes with the unit is heavy and works well. The pit itself comes almost totally assembled. Attaching the legs is the only thing required. When you want to move the unit, the rail around the top remains cool and makes it easy to reposition it.

My wife and I are very pleased with the firepit and highly recommend it.

This is a great product which has expanded the use of our backyard and created fun family time. There's nothing like roasting marshmallows to bring all ages together. I especially enjoy this design because the fire is completely contained. I'm confident in leaving the fire without dousing it with water.

Good size for small backyard fire.

Cut outs add to aesthetics.

Works well as a BBQ with a fairly large amount of charcoal. Small grilling jobs are better done on a smaller BBQ.

Fit and Finish is good but not excellent. The protective ring around the top does not line up cleanly leaving a small gap. Otherwise sturdy and well made.

I appreciate the added depth compared to what some other brands offer. Allows for a satisfying size fire.

I recommend this item.

From the moment I opened the box I realized how well made this item is. Packaged neat and properly and all the pieces fit together perfectly. It is made from heavy sturdy material and my experience tells me it will last for many years. Cooked dinner on it the first night we got it and the grilling grate is a terrific bonus. Then added wood to the coals and enjoyed a long night of fire. The extra depth adds both a level of safety and it also helps tremendously with drafting to keep the fire going. The cut out allow tons of air to feed the fire. It is a nicely made, decent sized fire pit that was worth the money on the first time using it. I highly recommend!

**Updated! 4/14/13** Scroll to the bottom!

I have been looking for a good firepit now for the past few months and had Narrowed down from this model to another Landmann favorite the illustrious Landmann USA 28925 Ball of Fire Outdoor Fireplace.

The reason why I didn't choose the Ball of Fire is for one big reason, I didn't want to fork over 50 bucks more for what seems to me a very gimmicky/flimsy firepit. I mean sure it looks cool and all but I am looking for longevity and practicality. Cause lets face it not every homeowners association might fancy themselves with this item so close to other neighbors. Whereas this model seems more enclosed yet offers a very unique experience with the animal cut outs.

Lets get down to brass tax, this product is very well put together, the look and feel of it is heavy and is pretty much what you are looking for in terms of long term prospects. It took me maybe 15 to 20 minutes to get it fully setup. There was one cosmetic issue with mine preventing me from screwing in a section of the ring handle, but after man handling it, it went through with no issues.

I actually haven't taken this thing out yet for a spin as I just got the item today but I plan to use it in the next week as the weather improves. Once I do that I'll be sure to update this review and let you all know if it truly is worth a 5 star rating.

Also on a side note, and a pearl of wisdom. Buy yourself some Rust-Oleum 241169 High Heat Ultra Enamel Spray, Black, 12-Ounce. Put yourself a nice coat on everything to help prevent rust. Also invest in a Grill cover..a good one, not that cheap stuff that can't keep the rain out. Be sure to buy some regular play sand to put in the bottom of the bowl too, it will help ensure you have this thing for many years.

The reason I say these things is because the negative reviews I've been seeing from various users, is really on their part for not taking care of their pit. If you put in the effort to take care of something you will get more out of it. Hope this review helps you in your decision in purchasing this item. Any questions feel free to ask!

**After using the Firepit, I have to say the experience is well worth it. The animal cut outs were definitely a conversational piece and it just looks really nice, the spark arrestor did its job well and I just cannot wait to continue using this pit. Be sure to get that Rustolem and a pit cover!**

Kuuma® The Original and Charcoal BBQ Food Tray Accessory

Received this, and it's much smaller than expected. It came with no instructions. The insert MUST be remove while cooking, or when ever the burner is fired, and long after. All pictures shows it installed during cooking. It will melt, and melt fast. Was going to return it, but I need the space on the boat.

Cuisinart EPM-7 Electric Nonstick Griddle, Stainless Steel

I absolutely love my Cuisinart Electric Griddle. We use ours every weekend to make pancakes an they are perfect. The element itself is very easy to clean and store. The Insert can also be removed and used as a regular griddle!

This griddle makes excellent pancakes,CRUMPETS,toasted cheese sandwiches, etc. The heating element gives the most even cooking of any that I have owned. My first electric skillet was purchased fifty years ago so I speak from experience.

I purchased a CUISINART glass lid lid and my steaks and loins are unbeatable.

Why it is no longer offered by CUISINART, I do not know.

Deni 8230 12-Inch Indoor Circular Grill

I purchased this Deni Grill as a gift for my mother because she just had to have it and she just loves it. I tried the grill out for myself and now I love it. I have cooked chicken on the grill for my 8 year old daughter and she wants bbq chicken everyday because the meat turned out so juicy. I have had a George Foreman Grill and I was going to purchase another one until I tried the Deni not only does it cook well it has been so easy to clean (so far). I highly recommend this grill!!! I LOVE IT WELL WORTH IT!!!

I am 73 and have down-sized twice now in a small condo. The only thing I've really missed is grilling outdoors (not permitted here). I grilled for the first five nights straight after receiving the Deni 12inch grill. Loved everything I did, and clean-up was a snap, no matter what I cooked. I've done steak, veggies, salmon, burgers, etc. There's a neat little container on the side that catches grease. This little grill has satisfied a need for me; I love it! I have a photo of my first grilled meal, but I don't know how to get it on here!

I serve rice and various sauces and it is a fun dinner.

Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill Grinder

Having had two Krups GVX Burr Grinder over the last 10 years. I wanted to try one that was different after the last Krup's on/off button bit the dirt. I noticed the just released Mr Coffee grinder had a nice large bin to keep us from having to refill it so often and they claim it holds a 1/2 pound of beans which is about right. It seems to grind the beans faster than the Krups and is a bit less messy. It comes apart easy for cleaning. It is as noisy as all grinders are and a bit higher pitched than the Krups. The settings are easy to use and seem to be a little less prone to moving accidentally. It is nice looking on the counter and my wife is happy with it as I am. It is also several dollars cheaper than the Krups and this was also a bit of a factor. I could say the coffee tastes better now, which is true, but perhaps I just hit the settings better than I did with the Krups. I would highly recommend this to a friend if they wanted a coffee grinder.

I've been using my new grinder for 2 days now and I am very pleased with it.

It is easy to use, looks good on the counter top, grinds fast and my coffee tastes great.

I'm glad I chose this one instead of one of the more expensive ones with good reviews, this one has all the functionality that I need to make delicious coffee.

I use it to grind coffee beans for espresso and french press, also for a drip machine (which I gladly tossed in the bin after getting a french press.)

**** UPDATE March 10th, 2012****

I've had this grinder now for about 7 months, and still going strong! Yes, it sometimes gets coffee grounds on the counter when scooping it out but I've never seen a grinder that doesn't do that.

However, I have regularly two problems with this grinder:

1. Sometimes the beans don't go through properly while grinding or get stuck, so I tend to shake it and hit the bottom gently against the counter top to get them to go on through. This is not a huge deal. Happened with my last grinder as well.

2. It likes to get clogged.

The opening where the grounds come out often just plugs up completely. This happens on a regular basis (every 6-10 weeks or so maybe), especially when I grind a lot of oily dark roasted beans. To solve the problem I unplug it, remove the beans, canister, and other parts. I take something to loosen the coffee grounds that are plugging up the hole. It'll work again after that, but to really get the job done I also make sure that the grinder elements are clear, and run some rice through the grinder a couple of times. The rice picks up a lot of those oils and residue that builds up on the inside of the machine. When I've done that it works like new again.

I will stick for now with my 5 star rating. We use our grinder twice every day and it is still working fine. For the really low price of this grinder I can't complain.

Buy Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill Grinder Now

This is a great grinder for the price. It has a fairly consistent grind, and it seems well build and operates smoothly. It does produce some dust on the coarse settings, and it also does have some static/mess issues as any grinder with a plastic grounds container does -but for forty bucks... it is at least as good as anything close to its price range. As long as you don't try to compare it to a $100+ grinder I think anyone would be satisfied.

The integrated cord wrap under the base is a nice touch for keeping the counter uncluttered. One odd feature is that the scoop/brush combo actually lives in a grooved out area in the lid to the ground coffee container, which surprised me (and led to it falling out several times until I got used to it).

My only serious complaint about this unit is that it falls victim to the annoying-bright-blue-led trend of consumer electronics. There is an extremely bright blue LED on the grinder that is ALWAYS on. I dearly wish these companies would realize that shiny blue lights that are always on are stupid and actually rather annoying (if i lived in a studio it would be enough for me to return it... as it is, I will just grumble and get on with it).

Read Best Reviews of Mr. Coffee Automatic Burr Mill Grinder Here

Bottom line: this is an average burr grinder that produces consistent quantity grind-to-grind but it is marred by a flawed grinding chamber design that makes a uniform mess when opened to remove ground coffee.

Pros:

* consistent quantity is produced grind-to-grind,

* removing the grind chamber turns off the grinder, and

* inexpensive.

Cons:

* inconsistent grind consistency that is typical of burr grinders (finicky coffee consumers should pursue conical models),

* when the grind chamber is opened fine grounds that cling to the roof of the chamber fall out onto anything in the vicinity, and

* limited grind fineness settings on the fine end of the range (may not get fine enough for some espresso beans or machines).

Other appraisals:

* the amount of ground coffee is measured in arbitrary "cup" units that the manual says are larger for coarser settings and smaller for finer; they're not really "cups"

* the grind mechanism is made primarily of plastic (may not be reliable)

* the power LED is glaring blue and is on anytime the grind chamber is fully inserted, leaving the chamber partially hanging out when not in use turns the LED off

This is a very inexpensive burr grinder. It's a first step up from the whirly blade type for those who want a better cup of coffee but don't want to break the bank. It can't be remotely compared to a Baratza, Rancilio (Rocky), Mazzer or Gaggia, which are primarily used for espresso, but do a perfect job for every other brewing method as well. If anyone expects that this grinder will grind fine enough, and the grind will be consistent enough, to use for an espresso pump machine, they will be very disappointed. If you're looking for a grinder for expresso, spend the money on one of the above brands. You will be amazed at the great pull you'll get.

That said, this grinder isn't all that terrible. I've read of the static mess it supposedly leaves, but I haven't had that problem, and my home is quite dry. A couple of sharp taps on the counter after grinding and the powder will drop back in the cup and not go all over. Dark roasted, oilier beans will plug up ANY burr grinder faster than lighter roasted beans, so the opening to the grounds cup needs to be cleaned on a regular basis, no matter what grinder you use. As for the "annoying blue light", that's easily fixed with a small piece of electrical tape applied over the light. Or, you can just pull the grounds cup out about 1/4/" and voila, the light goes off. No need to worry about grounds spilling out because you have the cup out. You can't run the grinder until the cup is properly seated. End of problems.

As for a bit of powder in the bottom of your coffee mug, if you use a metal mesh filter, that is inevitable, many times even with a mor expensive grinder, to a lesser extent. For drip pots, if it's a big deal to you, just switch to unbleached paper filters. No more powder.

Like I said, overall, if you want a step up from your whirly bird blade grinder, and you brew with an automatic drip or French press, for the price, it's a decent purchase.

As all Delonghi products, this panini maker is a great buy! The look is stylish, but most of all it cooks delicious food. It is very easy and quick to make all kinds of sandwiches, as well as grilled meat. It is a great convenience to have one of these at home.

Hard to clean. It is still working 4 years latter.

GEORGE FOREMAN Jumbo-size Grill

I just bought this grill at Walmarts for $20.00

I tried it and really liked it. If it had temperature control

it would have been a 5 star.

PROS:

It is a large version of GF's grills which is what I wanted

I cooked 4 chicken breasts and threw on top some fresh mixed veggies.

When closing it though I had to take some veggies out.

Cooked the chicken beautifully in 9 minutes.

Veggies were still a bit crispy still so I cooked them about 5 minutes longer.

(peppers, onions, mushrooms, beans) While cooking veggies & chicken I used my water

bottle sprayer and sprayed the meal to create some juices and keep the meal from

becoming dry.

Easy clean-up and catches grease just fine with grease pan included.

I brought it to my countertop, placed it overhanging onto the sink and used

the sprayer to rinse off the stuck on chicken.

CONS:

No temperature control dials on it at all.

So you need to go by the timing included in the recipe book

or if you do your own recipe you should stay there for safety reasons.

Otherwise no other complaints.

I bought this grill for Christmas a year ago. I use it often, but only for certain foods. Using my IR thermometer I discovered the cooking temp of the top grill plate was 440 degrees and on the bottom the temp was 410 degrees. The top grill has very low ridges and sounds like thin sheet metal when I thump it. The bottom grill plate is a respectable thick cast metal. This explains why my steaks would have grill marks only on the bottom and seared to a solid crust over the top. This does not pass as a grilled steak in Texas. I ruined a lot of nice thick steaks before learned to only cook hamburgers, chicken and fish....My dog learned to love burned steak. I also reduce the recommended cooking times by at least one minute from the Foreman provided chart.

The guy that designed the grease pan should be locked in a room with a dozen dirty grease pans and a roll of paper towels and not let out until he cleaned them all. He would rush to his drawing board and remove all the impossible to clean corners.

If I had spent $60.00 on this grill I would have sent it back on day two.

Am very pleased with this.

Love this pizza pan for grilling pizza. The pan and handle are great quality. I love it so much that I had my husband buy me a second one for Christmas, so that I could prepare two pizzas at the same time.

The pizza cutter/turner is plastic and in my opinion poor quality (hence only 4 rather than 5 stars). I chose to throw away and use my higher pizza cutter and turner.

Maverick Pro-Temp Commercial Thermometer PT-100

Having grown weary of slow and/or inaccurate temp probes, I thought I'd give this one a try. My first reading was the ambient room temp. Having held the device in my hand, it had to decrement from about 85f down to 65f. It took over a minute for that to happen. I know it's slower to shed heat in the open air than to take on heat from a food product currently being cooked, so I didn't give too much weight to this first reading.

My second reading would be from a liquid at a steady 100f. The first attempt (after the device settled to an ambient room temp of 65f) took close to 30 seconds just to increment up and approach the correct temp. To my surprise, it just kept slowly ticking up to 108f at which point I stopped since I knew the real temp was 100f. I double checked the actual liquid temp again using two different thermometers of different types. Each showed the real temp within .2f of each other.

I tried the Maverick again thinking the first few tries were some odd fluke. This time it quickly rose but again continued to increment well over the actual temp by 4.5f. Then it stopped and started to slowly decrement. After about 90 seconds, it arrived at the correct temp. Additional tests revealed non-repeatable temp numbers that varied by far more than the +/2f as stated in the specifications. While 1f or 2f isn't a huge deal, the variability of 4f to as much as 8f combined with slow readings makes this unit difficult to recommend.

I can only assume I have a defective unit as others haven't complained of inaccurate temps, though many have complained of slow response. Manufacturing being what it is, a percentage of devices will either fail to function or perhaps function poorly, hence my 2 star rating vs. giving it 1 star. While I'm sure other units are quite accurate and/or fast, I can only review the one I have. This unit rarely settled on a temp even with a minute or more of measuring much less providing an accurate temp "instantly". Instant (according to the specs) is 3 seconds. While this unit is probably worth another try, I'll likely just return it for another brand.

I have been on a hunt for the best cooking thermometer for some time now. I saw this one was highly rated and was only $65 here on Amazon. After receiving the package in the mail and testing, I had some fears it was inaccurate. So I went ahead and did ice and boiling water test and put the PT-100 next to a friends Thermapen. In this video you will see the PT-100 is not only inaccurate, but it cant even repeat itself 5 min later in the same conditions. You can tell by the video its unreliable and not even worth $65 let alone $100.

I cook competition BBQ contests and have a need for near instant and accurate temperature readings. While I have no problem with the accuracy of this product, it takes WAY to long to settle in on a final temperature reading. I have had it take as long as 30 seconds before it finally locks in on a final reading. I am often testing my product while it is still on the smoker and every second the smoker is open heat that is escaping, so 30 seconds to entirely too long. Unfortunately I disposed of the original packaging before I discovered how slow this this thermometer responds, so I am unable to return it. My guess is that it will make it's way to a kitchen drawer and be used once a year to take a reading on the Thanksgiving turkey. I wish I had listened to the advice of my fellow BBQ competitors and purchased the Splash Proof Thermapen instead of trying to save a couple of bucks.

I had debated buying either this or the Thermapen, and after much thought and a recommedation from a chef that I know, I bought a PT100 this past summer. The thermometer looks great and has some great features, but is way too slow. I cook a lot of bbq, both in competition and also at home, and I need a thermometer that will give me a fast and accurate reading. Unfortunately this wasn't it.

I never bothered to check the accuracy of it, mainly because it takes too long to get to the temp. It was supposed to have 3 second readings, but it never came close to that for me.

Last week I went and bought a Thermapen. I did a side by side test of both of them in an ice bath, and the Thermapen read it in 3 sec, while the PT 100 was still in the 40's.

I really was pulling for the PT 100, I really was. I wanted it to be better than the Thermapen, or at least as good. It just wasn't. I even was kind of hoping that I got a bad one, but I don't think so. If I would have kept the receipt I would have exchanged it. I know Maverick makes some great products, and I will continue to buy from them. I own a few ET-73's and I think they are great! Unfortunately this didn't live up to my expectations.

Oh yeah, the chef I got the recommendation from, he also teaches classes at the bbq store that sold this to me, and they do not sell the Thermapen.

Motorhead Products NFL 4-Piece BBQ Grilling Utensil Set

This is the 2nd time I've been invited to write a review of this purchase ... long story, but I can sum it up ( again ) in 4 words: GREAT ITEM, HORRIBLE SELLER.

The Product itself was good. I bought it as a christmas present. Shipping was not. I placed my order on Decmember 13th (gaurenteed by dec. 24). And it said it sould ship by December 17. but once shipped it whould take 3-5 days. I got an e-mail that said it was shipped on december 14th, and they gave me a tracking number so I figured that 5 days it would arrive by friday december 21st. 5 days from monday. On Monday I tried to track it and the number they gave me didn't work, so I e-mailed the company and they e-mail me back on wednesday with the correct shipping number. I tried to track it again and it said the number was there but no information yet. I really needed the package by friday and it never came. So on the following wednesday dec 26 i got my package. Then I had to pay to ship the present to the person it was supposed to get it. When I finaly tracked the package. It looks like the setup the shipping on friday december 14th. But never actually shipped the package till tuesday december 18th. When I tried to e-mail them about it, I got a responce that they were closed till Jan 2nd. Then I never heard from them again. I would Suggest buying the product from a more reliable source. Maybe NFL.com.

Wolfgang Puck Panini Duet and Multipurpose Grill, Silver

This is a decent, relatively small panini maker. There is no temperature control so you need to keep an eye on your stuff. It browns the bread quite quickly, but I noticed that it won't burn it that easily. You can fit 2 standard size sliced bread sandwiches in it. Not much else. It is lightweight and easy to store. The grilling surfaces do NOT come off, so cleaning can be a challenge, but the non-stick surfaces clean easily. My main issue with it is that it is so light and almost top-heavy that if you press on the handle to put some pressure on the bread it tends to want to tip over forward (UPDATE: I think I saw an newer version which was slightly different with feet that come out further in the front to prevent this exact problem so look for the newer version)

Comes with an oil, drip tray and a brush to clean the surfaces.

Sportula Products Ohio State Buckeyes Grilling Spatula

An annual Christmas gift for our sons is their OSU Alumni membership, I always include something OSU with the gift certificate. This was the perfect gift for this year.

I bought this item for my son who is a huge Buckeye fan. He loved it. And I was impressed with the sturdiness of the item. A good value and a good novelty item for a fan.

Haven't used it yet, but appears to be excellent quality. The stainless steel portion of it is large and it has a really nice look to it. I'd definitely buy it again!

Swissmar Raclette Dish Holders, Set of 4

I am regularly complaining about the cheap construction of new purchases but NOT on these raclette holders. They are built with excellent quality and a nice durable grade of metal. The raclette dishes fit perfectly with these very stable bases. Exceeded all of my expectations.

We have been hosting a big annual Raclette dinner at our house for years and it is always a lot of fun. However, toward the end of the feast there is always the question of what to do with the hot Raclette pans. Some guests put it on their plates, some on top of the grill, and some are absent-minded and actually place it next to their plates onto the tablecloth which I admit it does not make me happy.

When I saw these dish holders, I had to have them. These are well made, sturdy and fit our Swissmar Raclette pans perfectly. The only reason I am not giving them 5 stars is because I don't like the 4 visible screws at the bottom of the holder. They make the holders look too utilitarian and since I usually decorate my table nicely when I host a dinner, this is a bit of a letdown in the design department. But they do the job and that is the most important thing anyway. If you like Raclette, you will find these holders to be indispensable. 4.5 stars if that were possible.

We love to use the Raclette, but the problem is where to put the utinsils when not in use the plate or the table? If you set them on the table you risk getting the tablecloth or placemat dirty. If you set them on your plate you can run out of room on the plate. This is the perfect answer.

Ceramic Marble Coated Cast Aluminium Non Stick Fry Pan 30cm(12 inches)

I loved this pan. When I went back to Amazon to buy another one, I saw a review by someone stating there was a warning about Phthalates AND Lead. That did not make much sense to me knowing it was made in Korea where people have gotten highly educated about and sensitive to toxins. But, I wasn't going to risk my family's health. Too bad, I thought, as it really is one of the best pans I have ever used. Then, I found and bought a set of Instant Lead Tests (by Lead Check) sold by Amazon and tested the pan I had at home. The result: NO LEAD. As to Phthalates (DEHP), I don't know how to test for it, but I don't see how DEHP, a primary plasticizer for PVC, would be on the cooking surface meant for high temperature operation. Maybe the handle tested positive for it? Given the type of hard material used for the handle, I don't think it is a high risk area, if any. So, guess what, I am buying another ceramic marble coated pan!

My husband never forgave me for throwing away his favorite non-stick pan. In searching for a safer alternative to teflon, we came across this pan, which seemed like a safer option. Sadly, upon receipt, we noticed the following disclaimer on the product packaging: "State of California Prop. 65 WARNING This product contains DEHP, a Phthalate Chemical, Lead and other Chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm." Use at your own risk. I'll be returning mine.

I have used this pan for a couple of months now and decided to order 2 more, smaller one for myself and 1 for my sister. Will probably purchase more for my family!

They feel solid, and are exactly as described.

I still find that I need to use a little oil or pam spray, but that is fine. These are good quality pans at a great price

I'm always being distracted by numerous things when I cook and as a result have walked away after or before cooking with flame still burning under the pan, ruining every pan I've ever used. This last time,.. after preparing breakfast, I emptied my bacon & eggs from this Ceramic Marble coated pan, heard the phone ring in my computer room where I took my breakfast to eat, and answer the phone. After finishing my breakfast and phone call,(a good 25 minutes), there was a burning smell. I ran back through the smoke filled house to remove the pan from the stove. I thought,..Oh No!,..another new pan ruined!

After abusing the pan on medium high (3/4) for at least 25 minutes,..I was shocked to see it clean up so easily with just a damp paper towel, and even though there was an 8" area in the center of the pan that was slightly darker than the rest,..it STILL retains it's excellent non-stick properties.

You could spend a whole lot more and still not get something comparable to this very affordable high quality pan.

I realized after a few uses that the pan looks just like the "stone line" pans being sold on TV. I assumed the pan would be heavy since it's got a marble coating but it's surprising light. I cook all types of food on it, and am very impressed with the performance. It cooks evenly, does not require oil or spray, but I add some for flavor. Made eggs sunny side up with two drips of grapeseed oil, added cheese and when the edges curled up, I was able to slide the eggs from the pan onto the plate, no utensils! Cleanup is as easy as rinsing with warm soapy water and a paper towel. Buy it before the price goes up, it's the only pan you'll need.

Staub Cast Iron 17 x 10 Grill Pan, Black

With great anticipation I unboxed the fancy Staub Cast Iron 17 x 10 Grill Pan, Black but was shocked to discover that one of the ridges had the enamel already rubbed or chipped off (about an inch long). The enamel is about half a millimeter thick and it looked like the full thickness was gone. There were no apparent bits of enamel in the box, and the box didn't appear damaged in any way, so it was probably defective when it got put in the box. For such an expensive pan it seems there was poor quality control and the factory packaging consisted just of the printed cardboard box with some pamphlets thrown in. Not even a plastic bag or wrapped in paper. I'd be curious to find out if this is the expected packaging for Staub, or if the product I got was a poor re-pack of an open box item that had been damaged. This is going back to Amazon for a refund.

In contrast, before this purchase I had been at Macy's in person and saw the Emeril by All-Clad E6019764 Cast-Iron 2-Burner Reversible Grill / Griddle Cookware, Black. The packaging included bubble wrap inside the box and the surface of the pan looked perfect but I suspect the enamel is very thin. I guess I'm going to try that one instead.

Wireless Bbq Thermometer

This thermometer functioned as advertised for about a half dozen meals. Then problems started to compound. First the base unit had difficulty connecting with the remote. It would disconnect spontaneously and get stuck searching for a signal indefinitely. Eventually the temperature readings started to vary wildly. The device finally gave up the ghost when any attempt to connect the remote would cause the temperature reading to max out. Everything I'm describing happened within the span of three months.

Even if the thermometer worked, it's just not an enjoyable product to use. The buttons feel gummy and you have to push hard to get them to respond. Your target temperature options are limited to a handful of pre-sets and there doesn't seem to be a way to set a custom temperature alarm if you're heating something to a degree other than the normal temperature of beef, lamb, pork chicken or fish. It's simply a cheap product all around and there are many superior options for the money.

Other Oregon Scientific wireless thermometers with many reviews do not fare well. Many people have defective units that end up being paper weights. Think twice before buying this unit.

For the price, the Oregon wireless remote grill thermometer is a great tool. Can't grill without it.
