Pourfect Original Spill-Proof 6, 8 and 12 Cup Mixing Bowl Set

I was looking for colorful mixing bowls. These are great.

I love the non skid rubber underside and the spout. Perfect for pancake batter!

For some reason I was expecting something with a silicon type feel. But these are a hard plastic. I usually don't trust anything that has a "as seen on tv" sign affixed to it. But this exceeded my expectations. Would definitely buy again if something happened to these guys.

Would be nice as a housewarming present, too.

I purchased them for mixing funnel cake mix in my concession stand. Now I use them everyday in my kitchen.

GrillPro 40730 2 In 1 Chrome Plated Turner/Tong

We've been using this grill spatula for years & when it became clear we needed to replace it we looked everywhere for the same kind of spatula. There ARE none! This is the only one we've found that works as well for turning over hamburgers/steaks/fish/etc on the grill w/o worries of dropping what you're turning over. I was thrilled to finally find a replacement here on the net, and bought 4 at once!

We have had a set of these for more than 10 years and grill often. The set we have is so old we have tried replacing it with other tongs several times and each time return to our old grillpro. We have looked and looked for a new grillpro with no luck. We are happy to have found them again!

I've wanted one of these spatula/tongs since I saw a friend using one to grill hamburgers a while back. I looked in several stores and didn't find them. I finally searched online and found them at Amazon. I bought 4 so I could give them as Christmas presents and then actually found them in a nearby specialty store. But, thanks Amazon for having such a unique item.

The turner is smaller than I expected but then I bought it to be a one tool solution to hauling multiple grilling tools for my RV. Handles will probably hold up okay, for the price it is what is to be expected.

Disney DCM-1 Classic Mickey Waffle Maker, Brushed Stainless Steel

We ordered this waffle maker for my 10 year old son who enjoys having belgian waffles when we go on vacation at the hotels. I wasn't sure if I should get this waffle maker or not because it's not your traditional waffle maker design, but we have 3 boys, 10, 12, and 14 and while they are getting a little older my wife and I thought it would be fun to make Mickey waffles and could always invest in something else later on if we really tired of it. The waffle maker is very easy to clean due to the non stick surface. Everything peals off easily with a wooden spatula or fork. The outside gets very hot during cooking, but the handle stays very cool so make sure to only touch it by the handle when cooking. We just started using this and for startes purchased generic pancake/waffle mix from the super market, using a very popular common brand of mix. When you plug it in, you will see a blue light that turns red when hot and alternates between red and blue as it works to maintain an even temparature. With the store bought mix the pancakes take only 1 minute to cook and are light golden brown. Leaving the mix in even 10 more seconds will darken the outside considerably, but not burn and the waffles come out delicious in either case. Very quick to cook and super easy to use. The waffle maker feels very durable. The waffles are fluffy. I'm not sure if it's the particular mix we are using which is really more for pancakes, but ours came out tasting like pancakes and not crunchy on the outside. I'm sure this will vary depending on the particular mix you use. We love this waffle maker and would recommend to others, although seems hard to find at a reasonable price nowadays. I'd seen it advertised for half the price we purchased at, but it was sold out at that price and all places I looked for charged about the same as Amazon did. I purchased for less elsewhere however. I could not find a single review on line anywhere so i'm adding this one. Hopefully it helps others. This will make fluffy waffles, I can't say if it will make crunchy ones or not as I have not yet tried enough mixes to know for sure.

Here's the thing this does not make a legit waffle. It is a thick pancake. If your kid realy wants a Mickey imprint it does the trick and tastes ok. The only other problem is there is no setting, the thing is just on full blast. So it gets hotter and hotter, the waffles cook faster as you make each next one and eventually it will make a crisp outside and underdone inside. So you might have to turn off and restart. Most people who buy this I assume have had a Mickey Waffle in Disney World, where they are awesome. This is not that. I'm not sure why they can make a decent waffle iron that also has Mickey's face, I mean it is 2012, we do have the technology. I would gladly pay an extra $20 to have a legit waffler. This is why you see people selling the old style Mickey Waffle Irons for $100-300 used. Which I believe one of those versions was recalled. I really don't want to burn my house down to make a decent Mickey waffle. So I'll continue to make these because my kids love Mickey's face, but I long for a legit waffle iron that cooks easily and also features Mickey's face.

Not sure how the new Mickey Mouse waffle iron could be so different than the model before, but this one was designed in a way that you cannot cook the entire waffle... so if you like eating doughy Mouse ears, please buy this one.

We have purchased, many years ago, three of the Mickey's Waffle maker for ourselves and our one child's family. Our 16 grandkids love the Mickey Waffles. Our first one wore out and we found you didn't make them anymore, but found one on line from VillaWare in Canada. Since we travel to all 5 of our children's home with the Waffle maker, we decided, since we saw this one on line, to buy one for our New Jersey family. When it came, we saw it was a little different than the original and our others. It is smaller and makes thinner waffles. Therefore we feel it is just "Okay" and not as great as the original. The grand kids were Ok with it, but said they liked our original one much better.

Nostalgia Electrics HDR-565 Vintage Collection Hot Dog Roller

This hot dog maker is obviously waay cute. It's also a good price. Compared to other cutesy hot dog makers, 8 dogs is a good number. I love the carnival themed umbrella sneeze guard over the dogs, and having that double as a bun warmer was an inspired idea. The poles that hold up the umbrella are nice and sturdy, and it assembles in only 1 minute. This thing has many bonus features:

*Rollers look just like the industrial unit at your local convenience store. They really roll!

*It can also handle 4 foot long dogs and even foot long buns! That's really great because my wife loves those. However, 4 is an anemic number.

*Nostalgia went to the extra expense to include an on/off switch and even a temp control. Temp control should prove useful vs. devices that do not include that.

*This unit includes a griddle attachment for hamburgers/bacon/sausage, etc. I think the unit is too small to be useful for frying hamburgers; you could only do two at a time. The griddle drops in where the rollers would otherwise go, so switching functions is not going to be convenient and will require tools or heat proof gloves if you don't want to wait for a cool-down period.

*The heating element is a beefy rectangular coil that gives good coverage of the cooking area and is directly exposed to the dogs, yielding fast, strong heat.

*The drip tray, griddle, and rollers are all removable for easy cleanup. Love that.

*The rollers are beefy all metal construction nice.

So that adds up to one very nice unit, of which Nostalgia should be proud. The only real shortcoming I see is that eight dogs, while a good number for a toy device like this, can't stand up to much crowd control. Figure at least two dogs for each child, and three for each man and you're feeding only three to four people per batch. Assume the thing is lightning fast at ten minutes per batch and you see that you're going to need ten of these toys to feed your super bowl party, hahahaha.

Then you have to ask yourself, is this gizmo worth the space? It's pretty big, about the size of a toaster oven. Will you keep it out on the counter and use this special purpose device often (doubtful)? How far back in the closet will it be stored and will you go to the trouble to drag it out to cook up dogs for three people, pack it back up, and re-store it (doubtful)? So is it worth the space? I think it's probably best suited for its intended audience: a party of four kiddos.

I purchased this at a Sears store for $9.99. This makes THE BEST hot dogs ever. I used to microwave them, no longer. I would pay $40$50 for this machine it is worth every penny. I recently had a pool party and the adults were even more impressed with it then the kids. My guests now purchased one for their offices. This even toasts the buns. I placed frozen buns on top were there is a little spot for them and by the time the hot dogs were done which is 15-25 min depending on how you like them the rolls were actually toasted. I HIHLY RECOMMEND this product. It makes the hot dogs taste the way they should!

I bought this to use for my grandson's fifth birthday next week after reading the glowing reviews. We (actually, he) wanted to test it out so we did. Now we have used it about 4 times. As others have said, it makes the best hot dogs ever must be the slow dripping of the juices as it rotates the dogs. It's easy to use and my grandson loves cooking his own (with supervision, of course).

I usually find that "gimmicky" things don't work well but this really does. Morevover, cleanup is a breeze the rollers and the drip tray both remove easily. The heated buns are great also.

We just need to remember to buy "shorter" hot dogs for his party so we can cook eight at a time.

Thanks to all the folks who took the time to review this! I probably wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for the great reviews

Addendum: 7/12/08:

We have had this for several months now and use it several times per week. My grandson still loves hot dogs made on this and several of our neighbors have decided to buy one. A must have if you like hot dogs!

Got a replacement, and new unit works GREAT! Amazon won't let me change Stars, but I'd change to 4.5 if I could.!

I purchased this after reading the reviews. I had no desire to use this for a party or large gathering, just one serving at a time ( 4-8 dogs). I tried it the day after it arrived and once since. The heating coils turn warm, but they don't warm up enough to prevent touching them after an hour on MAX heat. We tried two batches, after 1 hour the dogs were warm, more than room temp, but thats it. Called the company, they said to return to Amazon, we probably have a defective unit.

I love this machine for one simple reason: it's easy enough to use that my 5 year old daughter is now able to make dinner for us. This was a great purchase. The hot dogs cook evenly and the buns get nice and warm. You can turn the heat down after the dogs are done cooking and let them spin on low heat until you are ready for another. I was nervous when I got it that I'd bring it home and it would be made cheaply and break easily, but no... this is a quality product. I am very happy with it. My daughter and her friends love this machine and it makes making lunch a breeze. I haven't used the gridle feature, but I don't really care about that. This is a great hot dog maker. End of story.

Bodum Chambord Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan, White

We are very happy with both the looks and the performance of this pan. It leaves gorgeous grill marks on veggies, meat, etc.

It needs to be washed and oiled and it is heavy so it requires more maintenance than your average pan. It is worth the investment.

Just got this cast-iron grill pan and have already made amazing steaks and grilled veggies. Leaves beautiful grill marks on everything. This pan is extremely heavy and is of great quality. Takes a bit of effort for clean up and maintenance, but worth it for the food it cooks up.

For size reference, we were able to grill 2 16oz NY Strip Steaks with no problem.

3 Inch Large Smoker Thermometer

If you buy this thermometer, you will have to pay $20-30 at the hardware store for a 13/16" drill bit. Bits this large normally require a 1/2" drill chuck. Most people have a 1/4" or 3/8" drill, so get ready to buy (or borrow) a larger drill. Amazon sells 2" Old Smokey thermometers that only require a 3/8" hole.

Installed the thermometer on my Weber grill so I can monitor the temperature while I'm smoking meat (with the Smokenator add-on). Works great. Big dial is easy to read, and I really like the color coded areas.

Buy 3 Inch Large Smoker Thermometer Now

I needed a good temperature gauge for my new BBQ Smoker. The one that came with it was a joke.. I tested this temp gauge with a small boiling pan of water (water boils at 212 degrees, If it's 211, it's still water, if it's 213, it's steam..) I placed the temp gauge probe through a double sheet 6" x 6" heavy duty aluminum foil between the round gauge and the water so the steam wouldn't effect the test. Held the tip in the water with a set of kitchen tongs. The gauge hit 211 degrees and held steady.. Now I'm ready to smoke some awesome bbq !

Continental Platinum CP43719 Grill and Waffle Maker

We bought this waffle iron to replace our old GE waffle maker when the cord finally wore out from being unplugged because there was no Off switch. It has the basics like Black and Decker but a somewhat flimsy design. The three position hinge we thought might lock at different levels, but still helps adjust the width to grill a sandwich. It heats slowly, but this helps prevent burning food, too.

Suncast 10 Foot Gazebo

I RECEIVED THE GAZEBO VERY QUICKLY AFTER ORDERING. IT DOES TAKE TWO PEOPLE TO COMPLETELY PUT TOGETHER AND ATTACH TO DECKING. IT WENT TOGETHER VERY WELL. WE WERE VERY IMPRESS WITH THE STRUCTURE STABILITY AND RECEIVED MANY COMPLEMENTS FROM NEIGHBORS. THE SUNCAST 10FT GAZEBO STANDS OUT AS WHAT APPEARS TO HAVE COST MUCH MORE. WE ARE THRILLED WITH OUR PURCHASE. IT WAS A GOOD DEAL FOR AN OUTSTANDING PRODUCT. WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ENTERTAINING GUEST WITH THE GAZEBO AS THE MAIN AREA OVERLOOKING THE RIVER.

Gazebo actually arrived quite quickly to our home. Came on a big pallet. With two men and myself it took all day to assemble. We unpacked, layed out parts and took turns assembly line style to complete. We had a pre existing cement pad to attach to and it took us about 10 hours to put together an all day project. We had to tweak the instructions a bit by using a pvc glue for some of the screws but it looks very nice in the yard. We live in a hot climate and have noticed some fading for the plastic roof shingles to a dingy gray but other than that it is in good shape after about 6 mths. We get high east winds and it is still standing. We have a rattan sofa, two chairs and a coffee table inside and it fits nicely. All you do is spray it off with the hose when it gets dusty. We added a weather vane on top and it looks pretty cool. Would recommend purchasing if you want a low maintenance gazebo. Much cheaper and easier to maintain than wood.

Overall, this is a great gazebo! First of all, the price for this gazebo is the lowest I could find for a low maintenance vinyl type gazebo. I love the white, but you can also get it in a wood tone color. It doesn't come with a floor, so you need to attach it to a cement pad or deck. You will also need to purchase the hardware to attach metal posts to floor. The floor that you attach it to must be level. We built our own octagon shaped floor and used composite decking so it would remain low maintenance. This gazebo has alot of parts, so that is a little intimidating. My husband, our teenage boys, and I put this together. Most of the directions are pretty clear. Be sure to use the correct screws stated for each step. This gazebo can be put up in a day if you have the floor ready and start early in the morning. Kids can help with the preassembly of things like the railings. If you are short parts or lose any, they are easy to order from the Suncast website. I like the size of this gazebo. It is big enough for a table and chairs, but not so big that it takes up too much yard space. The finished product was better than expected!!!!

Prior to purchasing I was concerned that an all resin (plastic) gazebo would look cheap. I was particularly put off by not being able to see it on display anywhere. I told Suncast I would drive anywhere in So. Cal. to see one on display, and they said they couldn't help me. So I "rolled the dice" and ordered it anyway. It arrived with holes in the shipping cartons. I noted this on the delivery document. Two weeks later when we erected it I called Suncast and reported some minor damage to two roof pannels. They immediately shipped replacements at no charge and no further questions.

Erected it in 1.5 days and it is absolutely beautiful. Should be maintenance free. My fears that a resin gazebo would look cheap were unfounded.The double roof gives a unique look to it. Have installed white decorative garden lights around the two roofs and it looks great at night. The gazebo is installed on a terrace on the hillside backyard and we have received many compliments from the neighbors. We absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone interested. When I started to purchase it from a big home improvement store on-line, the price suddenly increased by $500. I cancelled the order and several days later a pop up appeared on my lap top from Amazon at the lower price, so that is where I purchased it.

Panini Grill (Refurbished)

Received this as a gift and thought it was great but, probably like many kitchen appliances, would not be used often. I don't use it everyday, but I use it a lot and not just for sandwiches. I have cooked shrimp, fish, garlic bread, and chicken and have been very pleased with the results. It is an absolutely great way to reheat leftover pizza since it crisps the bottom as well as heating it through. We have had the press for a year and my husband and I both use it once or twice a week. I believe the label 'panini press' implies it is more limited than it is. It has variable height and heat, with a sear setting, so it is really quite versatile. I plan to give 2 as Christmas presents this year. Also, it is very easy to clean with a damp cloth, but it might be nice to have removable plates and it should have a power button rather than turning on/off using the plug.

I have used both the Cuisinart and now the Breville so glad I have the Breville!

I used the Cuisinart Gourmet grill at my daughters' house and decided I had to have one. While researching I found this Breville and chose it because it seemed sturdier and more substantial; it stored upright out of the way; and it was about $25 cheaper. I made a great decision. I have had it about a month and have used it for toast, quesadillas, chicken breast, paninis, grilled cheese and I even cooked bacon strips in it! (Multiple settings make this possible.) I have a small kitchen and very few one-use appliances. This little guy stores upright out of the way but easy to get to...love it.

The grills aren't removable but they are still very easy to clean. I am thinking about getting one of these for my mom. Definitely would recommend it.

We first saw this model in action from a family member who had paid full price. We have been very happy with our grilled sandwiches. Thanks to Amazon reviews, we also found out that it is great for reheating pizza when you let the top plate hover over the toppings instead of touching like you do with a sandwich. The best part is that the top is hinged so that you can adjust the height. There were no signs that this was a refurbished item. We've had it for a couple of months and use it at least once a week.

Char-Broil TRU Infrared Urban Gas Grill with Folding Side Shelves

Had this grill for a year so far and I wanna address some points people brought up:

"Cleaning it is a pain" Not really. In fact, it's pretty easy since the grates come off and the infrared panels come out too. I clean it after every use and is very easy. I could see it becoming a pain if you: use lots of sweet/syrupy sauces and NEVER clean it. Then yes, things could get crusty. If you don't have time to clean it after EVERY use, just leave it on high heat for about 10 min after cooking and all the crud brushes off pretty easily.

"It Rusts" Still no problem here. If you don't clean it, let it sit in the rain, and never treat the grates, yes, you will get rust just like every grill. If you take care of the grates by wiping them/spraying them with vegetable oil after every other use, they will hold up just fine. Same with the infrared panels. If you keep your grill outside...clean it, oil it, COVER IT.

"Flair-ups still happen" No. They don't. This is one thing that I really like about this grill. No matter how many greasy burgers you have going, you don't have to worry about opening the lid and being surprised with a huge bon fire. This grill doesn't "catch on fire" like others.

My Thoughts: The only reason I'm not giving this a full five stars is because of two things:

First: it takes about 10-15min to get it hot enough to start cooking...which is pretty standard for most grills. However, Some people say that it can't produce a good sear. If you want something seared, best to wait over 20min...it works, you just have to be patient.

Second: The heat is a little uneven. Granted, it only takes one or two uses to grasp the heat distribution, it can be a tricky at first. The back edge gets hotter than the front but the center is very even. If you're cooking something, just keep an eye on what's happening in back...you'll probably have to swap the front meat with the rear stuff half way through cooking. If you wanna visually see how the heat is distributed, go out an buy a cheap loaf of white bread. Turn on the grill and then line the entire grill surface with the bread. Give it a few minutes then turn it off and flip over your now toasty bread. Now you can see where the heat is.

I am a grill fanatic so when it was time to pick out a new one, research was a borderline obsession of mine. I settled on this IR grill from Char-Broil.

The major, most important thing to consider about this grill is that it cooks much more quickly than your standard LP grills and is a lot more like charcoal in that sense. You need to "relearn" grilling times to an extent but once you do, you'll have the best grilled foods you could possibly imagine! Here are the things I love most about it and really helped make my mind up about this one over its competitors.

Best Features:

-Temp gauges at the grilling surface: I've never seen this on any other grills before and helps to keep an eye on the temperature where it matters: at the surface. You don't measure your stove top temps at the hood, do you? Exactly.

-Folding shelves: this allows the grill to become extremely compact and makes for easy storage out on the porch. It also makes it an ideal choice for people in smaller residences like apartments, condos, townhomes, etc.

-Infrared: By far, the most important thing! It's not all "marketing hype", it truly makes a huge difference! IR will sear the outside of the food and "trap" the juices inside, making EVERYTHING more juicy than you can even imagine! Plus, it makes really cool sear marks. Like I said, pay attention to cook times, though, as stuff cooks extremely quick on this. If you don't have one, I'd suggest an instant read thermometer as well.

There simply isn't a better grill in this size or price range. Period, bar none. And if you need a bigger grill, I'd look at Char Broil's Quantum grills that are bigger instead of straying. One of the best purchases I've made in a LONG time!

Pros: Very well designed and manufactured~ Good fit and finish~ Sturdy, solid grill~ The infrared is a completely unique cooking technique that works and works well~ The top, front door, grates, burners and infrared emmiters and hardware are all stainless steel~ Seems to use less propane than conventional gas grill~ Temp gauges seem to be accurate and solid~ Allows you to burn woodchips or natural wood charcoal directly on the grates its amazing and soo easy to do!!~ The best grill I have ever owned....or used for that matter!!~ If your in the market for a $300 grill, buy this thing!

Cons: Not too sure about the Surefire start system as of yet. The button has to be pushed just right but once it is... click click boom its lit!~ Ikea has nothing on Char-Broil in the "Uhhh I have to put ALL OF THIS together?" catagory~ If your not a handy person with a good set of basic tools, you better hope your friend or neighbor is!~ I am a handy person and this was a pretty long build to do by my self(3+ Hours). I don't know if this is really such a con, but for some it may be so i figured I would mention it. One reason it takes so long is because it is a well built grill with a lot of heavy duty hardware and support brackets ~ LOTS OF PARTS TO ASSEMBLE!

This grill isn't going to cook 30 steaks at once, but if your space and/or budget is limited it really is a good option. Electronic ignition works like a charm, grill heats fast, easy to use, easy to clean. Very sturdy and good looking.

Another reviewer has noted the assembly required. The cover of the instructions says 30 minutes. I doubt it!! The two of us accomplished it in 2 hours 15 minutes. That included unpacking and inventorying the parts. The grill parts are well packaged and arrived in perfect condition.

The instructions could be improved, but we were able to figure it out. A couple of places are very difficult to get the screws into--especially at the top of the fascias. The caster wrench provided doesn't really do the trick.

We needed 3 sizes of Phillips screwdrivers, one right angle screwdriver, pipe pliers (to attach the casters), small crescent wrench and a pocket knife.

Great grill for the money, though. The burners heat hot and fast and you may find grilling times shorter depending on what you were using before. We are very happy with our purchase and highly recommend this grill.

Want Char-Broil TRU Infrared Urban Gas Grill with Folding Side Shelves Discount?

How can I begin explaining how awesome this grill is! After a couple years of having rust as a condiment I began the search for a new grill. I was intrigued by this "Infrared" stuff and decided this was the way to go. I decided on this one because of its size; after all, it's just me and my wife. We were hesitant at first because we've always owned the larger grills but we went ahead with the purchase. All I can say is WOW!

Assembly: A little more involved than other grills but not complicated. I'm not a rocket scientist and did well. However, if you buy it somewhere that will assemble it for you, it's worth a couple extra bucks.

Cooking: MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS AND SEASON THE COOKING SURFACES! This is the first time I've ever done that and it truly makes a difference (more on this later). It is true that if you're used to cooking on an open flame grill you'll have to re-learn your cooking times. The first thing I cooked on it was steaks and I swear. . .they were better than any I've had before. Ruth's Criss has nothin' on me! I cook my steak medium and usually this means warm pink in the CENTER. My steaks were warm and pink THROUGHOUT! The searing capability of this grill is phenomenal! Nothing but a good, melt in your mouth, juicy steak! No flare ups meant no charred corners or fat. When we were done there were no little burnt pieces pushed to the side.

Clean up: Another huge plus! This is where seasoning the cooking surface comes in. While cooking, nothing sticks turning your food does not mean tearing your meat apart. We all have cranked our grills on high in the hopes of burning off the crud. Well with this grill, it truly turns everything to ash! Clean up is quick and simple!

So if you value your grilling get this one. Infrared will help make you a true master! Infrared cooking is simple and almost worry free. If this size is too small for you they do make larger ones.

My hat's off to you Charbroil!

Cuisinart CGC-21 All-Foods Gas Grill Cover

This is a really nice cover that fits the grill nice. However, if you own the stand, then a longer cover may be better. We've had some pretty bad weather and both cover & stand have done OK so far.

First, the good this cover fits the grille perfectly, and does seem to do an admirable job of covering it.

For the bad, however after being out in the summer weather for a few months, it's become bleached to the point of it being almost white in color. When I contacted Cuisinart, they directed me to contact another company, The Fulham Group. Their response was that this was normal, and that it's functioning just fine.

If it wasn't for the bleaching, I'd give this 4 stars. However, given that it looks like a several year old cover after a few months, dropped it down. Just hoping that it's only the coloration that's an issue, and not the protection.

I was very impressed by this grill cover. It is a good quality, heavy (almost fabric-like) all weather material. Fits the grill perfectly an includes velcro straps to hold it in place.

Ample in size and extremely sturdy unlike most grill covers on the market these days. Heavy enough not to blow off in bad weather.

Granite Ware 0528-4 Mini Grill Pan

When I got my new convection toaster oven, I bought this and the Granite Ware Mini Toaster Oven Cookie Sheet. This pan is great for heating up slices of pizza, making garlic bread, and basically cooking anything that benefits from a little air flow underneath.

I was hoping I could nest this on top of the cookie sheet, and also use it as a broiler pan. Unfortunately, it has sides that are a little deeper than the sides of the cookie sheet so, when you put this on top of the cookie sheet it rests on the bottom of the sheet with no gap, which makes it not useful for broiling.

The large GraniteWare Roaster/Broiler Sets are fantastic, and the small (but not toaster-oven sized) Pan Sets are almost fantastic (they would be fantastic if they didn't have the non-stick rack). I really, really wish Graniteware would make an even smaller roaster/broiler set for toaster ovens, like the Progressive International Pan but with an enamel finish. I can't be the only person who wants this.

Otherwise, this is a great pan.

I bought this to use in my convection microwave oven. I am sometimes challenged to find the right sized pan for convection cooking that will fit in the oven and still allow the turntable to rotate. This pan is just what I was looking for. I think it will be great for making baked frozen french fries.

I found these in a general store once and then had to go on the hunt to find a few more. Of course AMAZON, they have everything! We use these pans over firepits and on the grill to cook our pizza dough for our grilled pizzas. Cleanup is a snap. I use a little cooking spray and everything just scours right off! Love this product, love these pans. The dough cooks very evenly! I've already recommended them and friends/family have purchased! You won't be disappointed!
