Trudeau Solo Chocolate Fondue Set, Set of 4-Pieces

I got two of these to use for the holiday for personal fondue. The amount of chocolate it holds is perfect for two people although the plate needed to be refilled with goodies for dipping. Overall we thought it was a great set-up and perfect size. Also a nice option for serving different types of fondue for the table by using multiple sets.

i wish it was just alittleeee bigger but i love it i use it every so often to eat fruits and chocolate with my girlfriend or even with my little brother ..its great and very easy to use, if you wanna make things like chocolate covered strawberries you can but i would advice doing a little research on "tempering chocolate" to get the best results

This is the most attractive, and most expensive, personal fondue set I have found. It has the typical downside of heating the bottom of the fondue more than the top, and slightly defeats the purpose of fondue (the communal experience) but for two people it is a nice size. The plate is a bit small for all the munchy goodies but really is best for resting cheesy forks and too-hot fondue. The fork is a bit bizzare and hardly ergonomic, but holds food nicely. I like that it is two solid pieces of ceramic, which makes cleaning fairly easy.

When my husband and I were staying in Denmark over the holidays we went to a fabulous store in Copenhagen. We found individual fondue pots for our German granddaughters and we had lots of fun with them. I immediately bought my chocoholic husband 2 sets when we came back to the U.S. and shared a yummy dessert with my equally chocolate addicted brother-in-law! When Valentine's Day rolled around we decided to buy sets for our eleven year old granddaughters. They loved them! The reason that I bought this particular set is the safety factor for younger users. The sets that we have have a removable dish for the chocolate on top and it becomes quite warm and would be easy for a child to knock over. This set is one piece, still uses tea lights for melting the chocolate and seems to be pretty stable. The girls loved the serving plates and forks and shared a chocolate Valentine with their mom and dad. I would suggest lighting the tea lights when you have the set where you want it instead of carrying around a lit fondue pot (adults, too!). Now I need to buy one of these for my brother-in-law. He has MS and I know that he will find this set easier to use than the ones I bought for us. He literally licked the bowl clean and the kids will, too!

Lasko #2500 12" Oscillating Table Fan

I had bought a Hunter table fan, only to be completely disappointed to find that not only was it made in China, but it was difficult to disassemble for cleaning, and the blades won't start to spin unless switched to HIGH (and even then it sometimes needs a push or several to start turning). So, I set out on a quest to find a fan that is made in the US, easy to disassemble, and works properly. I stumbled across reviews on the 'net which indicated that not only are Lasko fans still made in the US, but this particular fan is easy to disassemble. So I ordered two from Amazon. They arrived in a matter of 3 business days. I am SO pleased with the fan! I put the first one together in about 1 minute, didn't even need the instructions (the other I'll just keep in the box until needed). The head doesn't tilt downward very much, I'd say only 5 or 10 degrees, but it tilts upward quite a bit farther than other fans I've owned, I'd guess somewhere between 30 to 40 degrees from level. It's very quiet other than the inevitable white noise of the fan blades pushing the air. I run my fan in the bedroom at night for the white noise and the air circulation, so it's probably on a *minimum* of 12 hours a day. I don't have any idea how long this fan will hold up to that kind of use. But I am so pleased to have something made in the US and fits all of the other criteria that I set out to find!!! Thanks, Amazon, for the quick delivery, and Lasko, for the great product!!!

Pros:

o Made in the US

o Easy to assemble/disassemble

o Quiet

o Above average upward tilt (based on previous fans I've owned)

o 6 foot power cord seems adequate for most locations

o Speed control on base rather than fan head

Cons:

o Fan blades aren't exactly balanced; fan head

jiggles slightly but no noises are created

I realize the "con" I mention is a little picky, it's really the only thing I noticed about the fan that wasn't pretty much perfect.

Now if it will only last for 25 years like the Sanyo desk fan I used to own... if it does, I'll probably be dead and the second fan will be brand new in a box on the shelves downstairs, so my family will inherit a brand new "old" fan LOL.

The quietness of my 10-year-old fan prompted my friend to ask me order her one. All the parts disassemble easily for total cleaning. A real workhorse; I leave it running 24/7 in summer.

This fan was reported to be very quiet and reliable, but after I put it together (not a hard task at all), it was considerably noisier than I had hoped. It was about as noisy as other small table fans I've bought. Not terrible, but certainly not the soft hush I had hoped for. The biggest problem was that the fan only worked on two of the three motor speeds!!! Although it created a strong breeze, the lack of quiet and the defective speeds don't make it a great bargain.

I bought this fan a year ago thanks to the great review by dontwannabeageek, who had the same basic criteria I did.

I wanted a fan primarily to use when I'm on the elliptical machine Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer, and also for use in the living room enabling me to use the A/C less frequently.

Pros: It's super quiet, even on high (and I'm pretty sensitive to noise), moves enough air to keep me cool when exercising, it's easy to clean because the grille is removable, AND it's made in America. Yay! The neutral color makes it unobtrusive, and blends in with any decor. It's also light weight, so it's easy to move around, yet very sturdy. It oscillates and tilts up and down. It's exactly what I was looking for and has every feature I wanted.

Assembly Tips: The round part that screws down over the fan blades to lock them in is tightened counter-clockwise, which is backward from the usual way. Tighten till just snug, don't over tighten. Also, when attaching the grille, it helps to have a flat head/slot type screwdriver to push the tabs in, and also for removing the grille for cleaning.

Note: The year before I had purchased the Honeywell HT800 Super Turbo High Performance Fan, Black in white, and it was so noisy I couldn't stand it. I wish I had found the Lasko fan then!

Bottom Line: I love the fan so much, I bought a second one for the bedroom a few weeks later.

P.S. Usage Tip: I also got this remote switch Super Switch Wireless Remote so I could set the fan across the room, and be able to turn it on and off from the bed. Not out of laziness, but if halfway through the night you feel cold/hot, you don't have to rouse yourself out of bed, or disturb your partner. It would also be good for someone with mobility problems.

UPDATE 7/30/11 I have had these fans for 2 years now, and am just as happy with them now as when I wrote the original review. I have three of them now, one for the bedroom, one for the living room and one for the elliptical/exercising. LOVE!

George Foreman GRP2841R 5-Serving Removable Plate Grill with Variable Temperature

Purchased May 2013 at W--mart for under $60. At this price you get a good grill to cook two burgers, steaks, etc.

Grills are easy to remove for dishwasher -wish they offered more than just the standard crosshatch top / ridge bottom grills. Maybe someday?

UPDATE 6/6/13: Great news! I took a chance and ordered the shallow flat plate grill George Foreman GFP84GP Evolve Grill 84-Square Inch Shallow Griddle Accessory Pan and it fits perfectly! This will allow cooking of flat items like fish filets that rally don't need a ribbed surface. Other 84 square inch replacement grills such as the deep pan and cupcake insert MAY also fit. The top crosshatch grill is a slighty different size to overfit the others, so only the bottom grill in 'optionable' as far as I know.

I'm upgrading my rating to 5 stars having cooked weiners, bratwurst, steaks, cubed steaks, hamburgers, fish, and chicken, and grilled flatbread. The temperature control has a good range of "slow cooking with minimal grill marks" to "heavy grill marks". Like most hinged grills it doesn't get hot enough to ideally sear steaks for rare/mid rare but it's close.

You cook by ear -the grill cooks VERY quickly -once you hear steam generation START to drop off take a look unless you want whatever it is well done. Weiners cook best at below mid temp, lighter grill marks but jucier steamy insides! BEST appliance-cooked weiners I've had! (Campfire weiners are another story).

The one weakness of this grill (and all hinged grills) is that it doesen't do a very good job with uneven thickness items like one chicken leg quarter. All thighs, or all drumsticks, should be fine (cook bone-in chicken for a longer time at lower temp to cook thoroughly).

Earthchef Montane Frying Pan

The Berghoff seems well constructed. I have not tested it on a high technology stove, but it looks like it was built to work with one. In use it comes pretty close to Teflon in performance at Teflon's recommended operating temperatures, although just a little bit less non-stick than Teflon. So far it washes as easily as Teflon. The Berghoff can be used at temperatures that exceed Teflon's limits, although high heat may not be the best way to cook. There is no dedicated lid, although a Nordic Ware Restaurant 10 inch Brushed Stainless-Steel Lid fits pretty well. The bottom plate picks up some residue at high temp on my stove, but the exterior's durability seems confidence inspiring so far. Long term durability and functionality of the interior remains untested.

Pasted below is a mini-diary of some comparisons:

Stove is an ordinary, four-burner, electric coil stove.

2/1/12

Berghoff and Orgreenic treated with high-temp safflower oil, 25 minutes medium to medium-high heat.

2/2/12

Eggs, low-medium to medium heat. Light application of olive oil.

Cooking: All required a spatula to flip.

Farberware & Orgreenic tied.

Berghoff slightly more sticky with thin bits on egg clinging to pan.

Cleanup: Interiors of all easily cleaned up with soapy water and soft sponge, more easily than the nylon Good Cook spatula.

Exteriors: The ceramic pans show some persistent residue from the previous seasoning. The metal exterior bottom of the Berghoff looks a little better than the gray exterior bottom of the Orgreenic, which is showing a lot of little chips.

The metal bottom of the Farberware pan looks cleaner, probably because as a Teflon pan settings higher than medium are always avoided.

2/4/12

Eggs, cheddar cheese, sliced garlic, cayenne pepper. Between medium and medium-high heat. Light application of olive oil.

Pans rotated between burners to try to equalize cooking temperature.

Both required a spatula, but non-stick performance was about equally good for the Berghoff and Orgreenic. The Orgreenic seems to cook a little faster. The Farberware pan did not participate, because it is assumed it would probably be non-stick enough up to medium heat, but it should not be used above that setting.

Cleanup: Interiors of both easily cleaned up with soapy water and soft sponge. The gray exterior bottom of the Orgreenic is showing more wear.

2/5/12

I gave both pans another treatment with safflower oil, this time at high heat. My burners smoke, but the oil does not.

Light application of olive oil. Medium high setting. Farberware Teflon pan is excused from participating. Thin steak, no lids, add onions near end, add Salsa Brava. Orgreenic seems to cook a little faster again. Berghoff shows more stuck, cooked, meat juice residue.

Cleanup: Although the Berghoff looks a little uglier going into the sink, interiors of both equally easily cleaned up with soapy water and soft sponge.

Olive oil, potato slices (about ¼'thick), medium-high heat. Orgreenic seems to brown them faster than the Berghoff. Very non-stick with both pans.

2/9/12

Light application of olive oil. Medium high setting. Farberware Teflon pan is excused from participating. Thin pork loin, no lids. After meat removed, followed immediately by sliced potato. The Orgreenic seems to cook a little faster again, but it is producing more blackened residue, and it looks a little uglier than the Berghoff going into the sink. The Berghoff washes easily with soapy water and soft sponge. The Orgreenic mostly cleans well, but some traces of blackened residue are resistant. The rougher side of the sponge seems to clean it off okay.

I reseasoned both pans at medium high with canola oil. Unlike the other oils, this one does smoke, more so with the Orgreenic pan, and canola has a rather foul, fishy odor at that temperature. It also seems to cook up a little patch of previously unseen brownish residue on the Orgreenic pan. After cooling, an application of the rough side of the sponge and hot water seems to remove it.

2/10/12

Sitram Profiserie 9½-Inch Stainless Steel Lid has arrived from Amazon.

Gave both ceramic pans another treatment with safflower oil to help flush out any remaining canola oil.

Light application of olive oil. Medium setting. Frying pan lids. Sunnyside up eggs, one each, all three pans.

Both the Berghoff and the Orgreenic need a little bit of assistance from the spatula, but then slide easily. The Berghoff has a little bit more residue. The egg is able to slide on the Teflon Farberware pan without the spatula.

Cleanup: Equally easy from this experiment. The Orgreenic is showing a tiny bit of persistent dark residue on the interior edge near the handle, probably from the previous experiment.

Exteriors, bottom: The Farberware shows hardly any wear or residue. Both ceramic pans show some persistent residue, possibly caused by higher temperature experiments. The Orgreenic's plain bottom with the same finish as the sides is showing a lot of little scrapes.

Measurements:

Farberware Nonstick Aluminum Egg Poacher (with poacher and lid removed) has outside diameter of the lid lip of about 7 7/8 inches, nearly vertical sides 391g

Telebrands (5827-6) 10" Orgreenic Frying Pan has outside diameter of about 10 inches, curved and sloped sides. 665g

BergHOFF Earthchef 10.25" Montane Frying Pan has outside diameter of about 10 7/8 inches, curved and sloped sides. 973g

Lids: The Farberware has a dedicated glass lid.

The RSVP Stainless Steel Universal Lid-7 to 12 Inch sits flat enough on either ceramic pan, but on each the angled handle forces it to be off-center.

The Nordic Ware Restaurant 10 inch Brushed Stainless-Steel Lid fits well on the Berghoff, but the inner portion is too wide to sit well on the Orgreenic.

Sitram Profiserie 9.5-Inch Stainless Steel Lid fits the Orgreenic pan. Not perfectly, a little bit wobbly, but best so far for this pan. If they made a 9 inch lid, it would probably be just right.

I was quite happily making fried eggs with almost no oil just minutes after getting this pan. Nothing stuck, and the pan was quite easy to clean with just a wet sponge once it cooled down. Just as easy as any PTFE-based pan I've used in the past. The pan itself is well-designed, and it works perfectly on my induction cooktop. (The first non-PTFE non-stick pan I've found that DOES do this successfully!)

I've noticed that most of these non-PTFE pans get very good reviews at first, but often start breaking down within a few months. I'll be sure to edit my review after a while either way, to note whether the pan is failing or not, and adjust the rating if needed...

Apr 30, 2012 edit: I've had the pan for about 6 months now. The non-stick coating is holding up quite well, in my opinion, though it does seem to have degraded slightly since it was new. I've noticed that small bits of food will occasionally stick...but these just wipe off with a sponge.

My only complaint (as noted in the comments) is that the bottom does bulge a bit towards the center, so liquids pool around the edges somewhat...making it easier to burn things in the center if you're not attentive. I'm otherwise extremely happy with this pan, though!

Scan Pan used to be my go to pan but not any more. The Earth Chef pan is now my go to pan. It's non stick coating is far better than any of the others I've had including Calphalon, Cuisinart and All Clad. I use scrambled eggs as my test for non stick success. This pan does it all from searing to sauteing and it's reasonably priced compared to the big names. I highly recommend it.

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue 14-Inch by 11.88-Inch Cast Iron Plancha

This is a must have barbecue accessory for us we like to grill bacon & sausages and mushrooms etc for breakfast and they cook just right on this grill plate. Very heavy durable cast iron.

We brush vegetable or olive oil on the surface before cooking with it so we get a non stick surface.

We were pleased with the price and the free shipping from Amazon. We are planning to buy an additional one so we can cook for a crowd

It is exactly what I was looking for. I come from south of France, close from Spain, and we are used to the "cuisine a la plancha". That makes you exquisite fishes, even meats without any burn taste! Just perfect and healthy if you do not use too much fat :-)

I love cooking on cast iron, but this piece is not perfectly flat, the cooking surface is poorly finished, and for $30+ it's inferior to American-made Lodge cast iron griddles that cost the same. If it were a bargain, that'd be one thing, but for $36, I do expect better quality.

Libbey 4-1/2-Ounce Spice Jar with Lid, Set of 12

Cooking is one of the few hobbies that I still enjoy regularly. (If we didn't have to eat every day, I probably wouldn't find time for that, either.) Correspondingly, I maintain a large spice collection, and frequently hunt for new additions when I travel. Over time, my spice cabinet has become virtually unusable, owing both to the number of spices, and the various sizes/shapes/languages/etc. of the bottles, boxes, bags, and other containers.

For several years, I have been seeking a solution for organizing my spices that:

o Is uniform (for functional and aesthetic reasons)

o Fits in a drawer, rather than a cabinet or rack

o Travels well (I often cook with my own spices when visiting family)

o Is inert (e.g. glass, stainless; no plastic)

o Looks nice

I am happy to say that the Libbey Vibe spice jars meet all of the criteria above, and have been an excellent addition to my kitchen over the past few weeks.

Some additional features that I particularly like about these jars:

+ I can see through the glass lids when looking down on the spice drawer

+ The lids fit very tightly, for freshness and while traveling

+ The wide mouths accommodate standard measuring spoons

+ The wide base is very stable; I haven't tipped one yet

+ There are matching, larger jars (12, 27, 42, and 64 oz) for other dry goods storage

Also, either the jars are very strong, Amazon does a great packing job, or both. When one of my orders arrived, the outer box was so visibly crushed that the UPS driver actually asked if I wanted to open the box before he left. I said yes, assuming that I would find a box full of glass dust. Surprisingly, every jar and lid was intact. Kudos to Libbey and Amazon.

These jars are not perfect, however. They have one major flaw, and a few minor ones. Most importantly:

The jars are too small to hold a full, "standard" bottle of spices

By "standard" I mean the types of bottles that you find in a typical U.S. grocery store, such as for McCormick or Morton and Basset spices. For powders, I can whack the bottom of the Libbey jar about 20 times to compress the contents, then typically force the rest of a store-bought jar into it by carefully pouring and squashing with the lid. This is a REAL pain, and makes a real mess.

I have added a bunch of 12 oz Libbey Vibe jars to my collection (which also fit into a drawer) to handle bulk spices. Still, I should be able to buy a popular spice in the grocery store and just dump the contents into the Libbey jar without so much fuss. If the Libbey spice jars weer 33% larger, I'd give them 5 stars instead of 4.

Two more minor complaints:

As indicated by others, the plastic seals are a cheap addition to an otherwise quality product. I would pay extra for real silicone seals

The sticker on the bottom of each jar is paper, and the glue is very sticky; consequently, every single one that I tried to remove tore and I had 52 chances to perfect my technique. This is a one-time hassle, but still, it took me about 2 hours to peel, soak, and clean the jars when they first arrived.

Overall, after much searching, I can say that these are probably the best spice jars to be had, at least for my needs. With a few improvements, they'd be outstanding, but I can grudgingly live with their shortcomings. I would recommend these jars to others seeking a functional and stylish solution for organizing their spices (and the larger jars for other dry goods).

These little jars were chosen for the qualities below:

unobstructed visibility of contents from top and sides

glass construction (minimal/no scratches and odor transfer)

tight enough seal (lifting by lid only does not spill contents)

functionality (can store spices/sugar and oil/honey)

shape and size

moderate price when bought as a set

However, the modifications below would make them perfect:

stackability, or rubber-like "feet" for improved stability

true silicon seal rather than a plastic seal

availability in a darker colored glass for items sensitive to light

Read Best Reviews of Libbey 4-1/2-Ounce Spice Jar with Lid, Set of 12 Here

For several years I have been buying spices in bulk and reusing the jars the spices came in originally, which meant I had an assortment of brands, sizes, and shapes. After moving to a new place with a smaller kitchen, we decided it was time to organize the spices to take up less space. I didn't want jars that came with a spice rack, I just wanted nice looking jars. After reading reviews about many different products I found the Libby jars which had outstanding reviews overall and we decided to start with one set of 12. After buying the second set of 12 I am now ready to review them.

Things I like:

They arrive well packaged -almost wastefully packaged -so there is no chance of breakage during shipping. The jars are a nice weight and the lids seal tightly. The size is great and holds a nice amount of spice (or whatever you're storing), and with the wide mouth I can measure straight from the jar with measuring spoons. With a labeler (I bought Epson LabelWorks LW-400 Label Maker (C51CB70010)) they just plain look great -I can label both the spice and the tare weight so I can easily refill it with bulk spices. The wide base means I won't accidentally knock over the jar (though it might mean it won't fit on your spice rack).

Things other reviews have mentioned as cons that I disagree with:

The lid seal being too tight. -It's great to grab a jar by the lid and know it's not going to come off and the jar fall and break. Also, it's great knowing that my spices are sealed away from other scents. If you're having trouble opening a jar, try pulling the lid at an angle.

They don't hold a "full-size" spice bottle. -Another review mentioned this, but it depends on what you think is a "full-size" spice bottle. During my conversion I easily dumped many "full-size" McCormick spice bottles into the jars with no problem. Another consideration: spices lose their flavor quickly so try buying in bulk so you can pay less and have smaller quantities on hand.

The labels on the bottom don't come off. -As other reviewers have mentioned this can easily be solved with rubbing alcohol or, my fave, baking soda. For the baking soda method, soak all the jars in water mixed with baking soda. After a few minutes the labels will just slide off.

Overall, these are 5 star jars. I will be buying a third set of 12 to round out the spice collection, and maybe even some of the larger ones because I like their look.

Want Libbey 4-1/2-Ounce Spice Jar with Lid, Set of 12 Discount?

I bought these to organize a spice cupboard that was out of control. I can't cook worth a darn, but I keep trying and trying, and trying, and trying. And all those recipes require spices. So, in an effort to produce something edible, I buy those spices and end up never using them again. I vowed to toss old (some as much as 10 years!) and rarely-if-ever-used spices, and get down to the essentials. I bought 24 of these jars from Crate & Barrel. After receiving them, I stood in my kitchen and ruthlessly threw spices into the garbage. Ground Galangal Root? NO MERCY! Spanish Anise Seeds? HIT THE ROAD! Chinese Five Spice? I HATED THE TASTE OF YOU FROM THE GET-GO!

I then filled these little jars with the spices I actually use, placing stickers on the bottoms indicating which spice was which. Alas! 24 bottles weren't enough! Luckily, Amazon came to the rescue with an additional 24. Cheaper than Crate & Barrel, free shipping, and no tax! End result? A spice cupboard that's a delight to look into. Added bonus: that skinny little cupboard is now so organized that I can prep my various slumgullions and culinary disasters more quickly than ever.

Cautions:

1. There are no perforated inner lids allowing you to daintily sprinkle spices. Personally, I don't care, but it may be a deal breaker for some of you;

2. As noted in other reviews, the bottles don't hold an entire "supermarket" bottle of spice. Again, I don't care because I won't use up an entire bottle of most spices before they need to be tossed anyway. For those spices I use a lot, I bought six of the 12-1/2 oz. Libbey bottles; and,

3. The price stickers on the bottom are the devil to get off.

I am very happy with the purchase. And, final comment, they're MADE IN AMERICA.

Weber 6431 Charcoal Grill Tool Holder

Money well spent. I never was impressed with the tool holder from Weber that is made out of wire. The wire version is 1/3 the price, but you get what you pay for. I use my Weber kettle as a low temperature smoker (250 degrees), and it's vital to keep the temp constant for 6-8 hours. My initial concern was the the tool holder would cause an air leak between the bottom and lid, and create a problem, but the fit is tight as ever, and my latest smoke with this tool holder in place was the same as before using it. HIGHLY recommended addition to the Weber, so spend the extra money on this version.

Not much to say that hasn't been said in the few reviews so far. It really doesn't get hot, fits my 22.5" kettle perfectly and does what it's supposed to do including looks good.

The only thing I could say I'd like to see different is narrower "hooks" for some tools that don't have a strap but have smaller holes. But I haven't been able to find ant tool that I use that doesn't work just fine with it though.

Pros: Clips on easily, good build quality and looks nice on the grill. Holds most grill tools, even non-Weber ones.

Cons: Sometimes gets in the way of hanging the kettle lid but slides around easily. Ironically the ease of sliding is periodically annoying when trying to quickly hang a tool.

I was going to buy the little wire Weber tool holder, but this one looked more solid. It does just what it's supposed to. Holds the tools easily and doesn't transfer heat to them. I bought a second one to hold the rest of my BBQ tools!

I don't really see what there is to say about this. It looks just like the picture. It seems very well made. It hangs on the side of the grill very easily. It hold up to three utensils (or more with strings attached to them). I have no complaints about this, other than the fact that it should have been included into the cost of the actual grill.

Anyway, if you have a Weber, buy this with no regrets. I can't even imagine what a negative review would look like for this product.
