Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron Panini Press and Skillet Grill Sets

I originally wrote this review for the press alone. At the time I bought the press, Amazon wasn't offering the press/pan as a set. Now it does and since anyone interested in this product is probably going to be looking at reviews of the set rather than the individual components, I'll repeat my review, with enhancements:

While shopping a retail cooking store, I fell in love with the Krups FDE312 panini press. A bit of Amazon research, however, turned up a disturbing pattern of sudden failures in this product. Research into other presses from Cuisinart, DeLonghi, Breville, Villaware, and others failed to produce a clear front runner. It seemed that each product had one or more issues non-removable grill plates, difficult cleaning, lack of grill ribs, flimsy handles, tendency to dry food, non-adjustable temperature, etc. Enter the Le Creuset 10 ¼" grill pan and panini press. You can submerge them to clean. They're coated with enamel, not Teflon, which means with proper care they should last two lifetimes (although they're only guaranteed for the lifetime of the original owner)(and note, this is a satin enamel coating, not the Le Creuset smooth coating, the longevity of which I can confirm from personal experience). There's no electrical element to burn out, no cord to store, no moving parts to break. Use is simple. Heat the grill on one burner (we have gas, but they're supposed to work with other technologies) and the press on the other. Wait until a spatter of water vaporizes almost instantly. Brush grill pan with some oil. Place sandwiches on grill pan. Pick up the press, brush on some oil, place on sandwiches and press for a few moments. Sizzle, sizzle. Wait until the cheese melts. Serve. The panini were just like what I'd eaten in Italy. I haven't owned an electric press, but I can't imagine they'd be better. Cleanup of the enamel surface requires a bit of care but, unlike every Teflon-coated product I've ever owned, that surface will probably still be there 20 years from now. And since the grill pan actually has sides (unlike every electric panini press I looked at), there was no side-spattering and thus no cleanup to do around the cooking area. The only disadvantages the grill/press combination costs $140, almost twice the cost of the average electric panini grill. But since many of the grill reviews I read spoke of this being their second (or third) electric grill, I suspect you'd make the money back over the next 20 years. Also, running multiple batches is a bit more of a problem than with a self-heating grill, since you need to place the now oily press back on the flame to reheat it, which can potentially lead to flaring of the residual oil, and will also get the burner oily. I intend to see, however, if you can reheat the press in the pan rather than putting it directly on a burner.

Let me just get right to it: this works okay if you want to make one, maybe two sets of sandwiches at most. It may work better if you have a gas stovetop (I don't) but works passably with a flat top electric stove top (what I have) and I'm guessing it would work with electric burners as well. I got all excited reading other reviews about how this press will last forever (it probably will), how it is high quality (true), easier to store (also true), simple to clean (still true), has no breakable parts (yes, yes) and can also be used for other food items like burgers and chicken (probably also true). But I mostly wanted it for panini.

Using it: After opening it I read that this is not meant to be used with my type of cook top but I thought I could probably still make it work. And I did. But it took three batches of panini to get the crust I wanted. Too black, too white, just right-and I don't see how anyone, no matter the cook top, will avoid this process. No little dial to set like on a traditional panini maker for how you want your toasted product to turn out. Second, the instructions say, heat your pan and press on separate burners till hot. Then grease each piece and set the press inside the pan for a minute or so, then do your sandwiches OFF THE HEAT. Okay great. Now say you want to make more than two sandwiches, which is what the pan will hold. No problem for the pan, just put it back on the burner to reheat, but what about the press? It is now greased on the side you put directly in contact with the burner (perhaps more of a problem for electric ranges...). You can carefully wipe it dry (it's still hot) and stick it back on the burner, then grease it again (did that, annoying to deal with, but it worked). You can use the retained heat from the press and pan and get a much more lightly toasted second set of sandwiches (have also done that) and then you pretty much have to start over. With a traditional press you can just keep sliding sandwiches out, sandwiches in. I'm feeding a family of six, so to me this seems like a real selling point for the grills and a real drawback for the press.

After I mastered my pan and press I was all happy till I got to thinking, what would one of these taste like without the grill marks? Some of the traditional presses have two sided plates, one smooth, one ridged. I wanted to try a smooth panini. Luckily I had the wit to realize this would be a simple matter. I got out a plain old frying pan and made a no grill marks panini by simply using slighly thinner bread, and pressing the sandwich down with a spatula as it was cooking, then flipping it halfway through. I liked it better, but that is a matter of opinion. It did get me thinking though: I already have high quality skillets. Did I really just pay $150 for a fancy grilled cheese sandwich pan? Yes, I think I did.

I would say that the most value I got from this purchase is the little booklet that came with it urging you to mix spices in a small dish of olive oil, then to brush your panini bread with this mixture on the outside before making them. It is delicious. Don't think I would have thought of it on my own and my panini cookbook doesn't mention that great little idea, so kudos to Le Crueset for good cooking tips. But you may want to consider (as I wish I had), before dropping your cash: does anyone really need a panini maker? To cook something both sides at a time, thus saving a total of two minutes, and to imprint it with grill marks: is this worth $150 to you? Or $80 or $90 if you go the traditional press route? Before buying this or any panini press I would urge you to get out a heavy duty flat bottom skillet, assemble a panini, place it in the pan over medium heat, press it down with a spatula, and carefully flip it two minutes later. If this is tasty to you, you just saved yourself more than $100 and you are still enjoying a panini.

I hope to use this pan for other things, like burgers, steaks and chicken, to feel I got my money's worth out of it. It is a great pan, nothing wrong with it, thus the four stars. HOWEVER If I really wanted fancy grill marked panini I think I would rather have gone with a traditional press for the convenience of making multiple sandwiches, not using up more than half my stove to make what is supposed to be a quick and simple meal, and adjustable temperature control. Nor would I get one with multisided plates. I would use a frying pan for a "no grill marks" sandwich. Something to think about!

I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas. In all honesty, I also bought it for myself, because I'm a vegetarian, and I needed some sort of method for introducing variety into my dinner routine. I was getting really tired of rice and beans and greens. This little set, while extremely expensive (in my opinion), really is a lot of fun, and the panini is excellent, as long as you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. We didn't read the manual carefully the first time we used it, so I was disappointed, but when you do exactly what the thing says, and get a decent feel for how long to let the sandwich cook for, it turns out great sandwiches.

In short: heat both components up, like it says, and then take them OFF the heat, brush them with whatever (we use a spray cooking oil; olive oil did NOT work), put the top onto the bottom for a bit, and then put the sandwich in, press down, and wait. If you forget to put the top back onto the bottom, it won't work right, I have found. And you're not supposed to put it back onto the heat. Maybe all that is obvious to cooking people, but I'm a novice.

I received this for set for Christmas and have already used it a few times. I cooked yellow fin tuna the first use and it came out spectacular. Love the grill marks, and even cooking. This is definitely a piece of cookware that loves low/slow heat, I had it on my main burner on a low heat and got the oil to just about smoking and then threw on my tuna. Cooked it 5 mins a side and it came out with a terrific natural taste! The main event was the panini, I cut my ciabatta bread up, sprayed it with olive oil and layerd on the prosciutto and provolone. I heated the top press on one burner and the skillet on another, once the pan was sufficiently hot (water sizzle/pop) i turned off the heat on both and threw on the first panini and put the press on top. I let it cook for about 5 minutes and found it to be beautifully browned with nice even grill marks. The second one cooked the same without having to apply any more heat. Great set, I'm looking forward to cooking more with it!

This is a great product. The grill pan itself is very heavy, and retains heat very well. The press is similarly robust but has not proved to be as useful on electric ranges -the range can't get the press hot enough to really do much more than weight the food down. Originally we purchased this item to facilitate preparation of panini, but we've since grown accustomed to using it for all indoor grilling applications.

GAME 3587 Drink Dazzler Light Up Coasters

I ordered the LED coasters for a party that I had recently and they added some additional entertainment. The thin black base allows them to not to look out of place, and when you sit your drink on top of the coaster the LED's are bright and make your beverages standout. A heavy clear glass works best, but you can use plastic cups although it diminishes the effect.

I only wish you could either cycle the colors more slowly, choose a solid color, and be able to replace the batteries.

they work and look good under the items I am lighting up. Only 4 starts because they are a little cheap, the switch is kind of tricky, but they work for what I purchased them form

Presto 06857 16-inch Electric Foldaway Skillet

I purchased this skillet to replace one from another manufacturer with a removable base (it had distinct heating zones and was not even at all!).

This skillet has nearly straight sides, of nice depth. As stated, the foldaway base and temperature control fit nicely inside the skillet itself, making a very compact unit for storage. I made fried chicken in it as a test case (something my old skillet failed miserably at!). To my delight, each piece was cooked evenly. This skillet seems to have no 'cold spots' or overly hot spots. The spoon rest cutaway in the corner makes a nice vent for the pan when cooking, and easy pouring for liquids in the skillet. Cleanup was a fast and easy. If you are looking for a skillet that has fast, even heating, easy cleanup and a compact footprint in a cupboard, this is definitely one to consider!

After making the mistake of equating quality with a high-end and high-cost name brand (begins with "C", think food processors) I listened to recommendations from friends and reviews on Amazon, and bought the Presto. I was very pleasantly surprised that this unit does everything well that I found deficient in the Cuisinart skillet. First and foremost, it heats evenly over the entire cooking surface which is a must when making crepes or pancakes. Second, it maintains an even and constant cooking temperature without shutting off and on the cooking elements as the desired temperature is reached. And third, it remains entirely level on a level surface which eliminates the pooling of pancake batter or cooking oil which occurred with the Cuisinart. The design and engineering of the Presto are top notched, and for the money it represents an excellent value. The foldaway design is rather nice as well. I cannot attest to the longevity of the non-stick cooking surface as I've only used the unit about 5 times so far. If it lasts for years as it should then this is truly a 5-star product.

The skillet arrived in perfect condition. Cooking time appears to be quicker then using the burner on my smooth top electric range. The PRESTO heating element is sealed at the bottom of the skillet for more efficient heating of the pan. There is no wasted energy.

Cooking chicken breast with barbacue sauce provided excellent results. Cleanup was easy and the chicken cooked perfectly. The next item to be tested were homefries. The skillet did a perfect job, the homefries cooked perfectly, well browned without burning, the pan's non-stick surface is perfect for cooking starchy food like fries. French toast cooked perfectly with easy cleanup. The 16 inch surface gives plenty of space for pancakes or other items. During power outages and when the generator kicks in, the skillet is the perfect solution to minimize power usage. The glass cover allows for viewing during cooking. The side vent allows moisture to escape. Allowing the pan to cool before immersing in water will give the non-stick surface a long life. The foldaway stand and reversing the cover gives the appliance a low profile perfect for storage. This is a great product, it saves cooking time and energy.

Mosquito Magnet Replacement Net for Defender MM4000NET

Fast delivery and low price from this store. The net is just the right size for my Mosquito Magnet Defender 4000, just like the other net I bought for a higher price, that's why you shouldn't pay the twice from other sellers.

I took a look at the net in my Defender the other day and it looked dirty, worn out, and just plain used. I found this item on Amazon at a really good price; $20 bucks cheaper than some other sites. I received the item promptly and immediately replaced my "old" net with no interruption in mosquito catching. One of the other reviews said that the nets were washable (they weren't on my Liberty). I tried washing it and was amazed at how clean I was able to get it. I'm glad I have a spare, but now, I'm not sure I needed one.

Buy Mosquito Magnet Replacement Net for Defender MM4000NET Now

I bought a spare 'cause it was on sale when I originally bought the mosquito magnet.

The original is fairly sturdy and well made. After 3 seasons I have yet to need it. Unless you're a klutz and think you'll step on it or something you can simply rinse / wash out the original one and keep using it.

That said, I use mine to swap out the full one for zero down time especially when it's full of angry live biting mosquitoes....

Read Best Reviews of Mosquito Magnet Replacement Net for Defender MM4000NET Here

Although the product is called a "net", it is more like a rigid plastic container with a very fine durable mesh on the sides. Mosquito Magnet recommends to replace or clean it every 21 days. Cleaning is very easy and this net will lasts you many seasons if done regularly. The only problem with cleaning is that the net may still have a bunch of live mosquitos in it when you take it out. In that case you could have a spare that you put back in there while you wait for the live ones to die if you don't want any interruption of service. I typically wait for the propane tank to have run out of gas. When that happens, I take out the net and wait for the live ones to die in the next few hours. I then shake out the dead mosquitos and rinse the net under running water. It looks like new afterwards. By the time I have purchased a new tank, the net is dry and ready to be used again. After a tank has run out of propane, there are hundreds of dead mosquitos in the net. However, they all shrivel up and the dead mosquitos falls apart so the volume it takes up in the net is very limited. The little legs and other body parts get stuck in the mesh of the net but can be rinsed out very easily. I have posted a couple of pictures of the catch in the mosquito net after a full propane cycle (~21 days).

Minden Grill Company MMR1000 30,000-BTU Master Grill, Red

I received the product with the incorrect item inside the box. I ordered a red grill but there was a green one inside the box. The outside of the box indicated the item inside should be red, so this was obviously a packaging problem somewhere. I had little time for the exchange as I had ordered the grill for an upcoming party. When I called Amazon to discuss the issue, at first the customer service rep said that they could just ship out a replacement for us with quick delivery( I don;t remember if it was next day or 2 day delivery but it was a short period). Then she said no she could not do that because Amazon no longer stocks this product. Later the product manufacturer told me they just sent a huge shipment to Amazon for this product when I called about a question on the setup. When I asked the Amazon Customer Service Rep whether Amazon could arrange a shipment from one of the other online vendors that it advterises this product for on Amazon which indicated they had the item in stock, she said no. I had to explain myself several times before she understood my request. When it finally came down to it, she said they could make those arrangements but that she could not guarantee next day delivery...even though she never even contacted one of those vendors to ask if it was possible...Then she told me we would have to pay extra charges if we wanted the correction made with a quick shipment. I finally ran out of time to deal with the person on the phone and the incorrect item and decided to keep it. It was a very frustrating 30-45 minutes of my time with the customer service person who was a very bad listener, kept interrupting me and talking over me and was not willing to attempt to look for creative solutions to the problem. Putting the grill together was a moderately sized task. It was designed for everything to fit together precisely and if there are any deviations in the alignment or if the product is slightly bent in spots, as mine was, you have to try to bend the parts or redrill bigger holes... All in all it took about an hour and were unable to get at least one of the screws into the product ...The final product is great though. We use the grill at least 3 days a week and love it. It heats up very well and fast and it looks great. I would suggest one enhancement to the product, if the left and right 'side tables' could collapse down to the sides or tuck into the back somehow, it would be ideal for making it less obtrusive in smaller spaces like ours.

This is a copy of my review for the exact same GREEN model of this grill. For some reason they are not listed as one item with color choices so I have posted the review for the other colors, having actually purchased the Green model.

*****See Update Below******

Having now had this grill for over a year, I would describe it as a decent quality grill for a fair price. I use this grill frequently, probably twice a week or more, even in winter. If you are an occasional user, you may find this a more ideal product.

The Good Points-

1) It looks great and is perfect if you don't want and over testosteroned massive stainless grill on your property.

2) The quality and functionality is decent.

3) If you get a hold of a real person at Minden, they are very nice and will go out of their way to help you.

4) Heats up very quickly.

The Bad Points-

1) You MUST purchase separately the stainless steel grate. The included enameled grate will wear out in less than one season.

2) The wood handle will also become moldy in less than a season. I extended it's life by using some spray varnish on it, but I would still prefer the stainless steel one (which I've seen at Williams-Sonoma on a version of this grill that only they sell).

3) The spatter plates become quickly rusty. Minden was nice enough to send me (essentially for free) 3 stainless steel ones.

4) Some of the bolts which hold the unit together become rusty over time, they should be made of stainless steel, but they aren't.

5) The grill does not evenly heat, and has hot and cold spots, which over time if you understand where they are you can compensate for them.

They really have the makings of a great grill with some small modifications, I would encourage them to change some parts to stainless steel (described above) and attempt to resolve the unevenness of the heating surface.

******UPDATE April 8, 2012********

After having this grill for about two years, I sadly have to conclude that it's not something I would buy again.

The rust has continued to the point where critical functioning parts are failing. The bracket for the trough which supplies gas from burner to burner has failed, causing the trough to fall off. I've managed to stick it back using some rocks so I can still use the grill.

The hot and cold spot issue seems to have gotten worse, and it's also now hard for me to get the grill started without pressing the start button 10 or 15 times.

Additionally, the threaded plastic gas tank hookup broke in half, and I had to replace it with a new one.

After doing some math, I've concluded that the cost of ownership of this grill is simply too high.

At 479, lasting two years, means 249/year (this does not include the MANDATORY cost of buying the Stainless Steel Grate)

***Conclusion: I've pretty much settled on purchasing the American Outdoor Grill Model 25PC (with back burner). It's basically the same physical size, but at 1650 is considerable more expensive. However, nearly every part on the grill is guaranteed for 10 years, with some parts being guaranteed for longer. Even if one figures that the all stainless steel, made in America grill will last for 10 years, the cost of ownership per year is only $165.

The Minden Grill is basic, but well designed and built to last. Assembly was easy, though having a helper around would be a good idea with the heavier components like the grill top. The grill heats quickly reaching about 550 in about 10 minutes. Temperature control is effective and simple. I like the modular approach to accessories. So far cleanup has been a snap. It is a relatively compact grill with clean lines. It continues to exceed my expectations and represents a real value in quality grills at its price point.

Aerobics Step Platform for Wii Fit by CTA DIGITAL

By adding this platform, when using the Wii for my workout (with the EA sports Wii Fit), I can definately feel a greater burn in my legs by the time that I'm done. And it's sturdy too. When I first tried it, I was unsure about it. Wondering if it was going to slip out from under me but I had no signs of it slipping at all when I used it. Great addition to the workout.

ManGrate 2G-1B-B Grill Enhancement System, Two ManGrates One Brush

These grills DO add additional searing/flavor to high end steaks. Some may think they are a bit too "spendy" but after cooking several steak meals on them, I have to say they DO enhance the flavor of a good steak and make them easier to grill correctly.

I have a Napoleon grill with a cast iron grill that's heavy duty but sits too close to the heat source to do what the man grate does. Allows one to cook over high heat for the sear even on fatty chicken pieces like leg-quarters without flare-ups and blackened skin. That alone makes it worth the price. Reminds me of a chunk of the grill at the restaurant I worked for years ago. Just make sure you get at least two-the size is on the wimpy side. (only reason I didn't give it 5 stars)

These things aren't cheap, but they're amazing. And if you shop around for bargains, you can get a decent deal.

I first heard about these on Adam Carolla's podcast. He plugs them all the time and gives them as gifts to his guests, so I figured I'd give them a try. I bought a set of four. Make sure you read the instructions and season them first. Then give them a good twenty minute preheat before you use them. I fired up my grill to about 550 and preheated it for twenty minutes. Then I dropped the steaks on and could instantly see a difference. Per the instructions, I turned down the heat to medium after I put it on. The meat seared nicely right away and I turned it 45 degrees to get nice sear marks. Same with the other side.

These steaks turned out perfect. I've been grilling for decades and have never really been disappointed by my cooking, but these Mangrates truly improved the quality of the cooking. The shape of the grills recirculate a lot of the heat and the juices and create an incredible cooking surface.

Again, shop for bargains. See the comments below for the deal that I found.

EDIT: Now that I've been using the Mangrates for a few more days, I have to say that these things are even more amazing than I first thought. Check out my pictures at the top of the product page. Everything I've cooked so far has turned out as good or better than restaurant quality.

Just used them for the 1st time over the weekend, cooked some thick rib-eye steaks, they came out better than any restaurant. I used 100% mesquite charcoal lumps and while the charcoal was still flaming, I put the ManGrates on my grills grate directly over the charcoal to pre heat the grates for about 20 minutes or so then when the flames died out I put the steaks on. I must admit I wasn't sold on the idea but boy was I wrong! The steaks were perfectly seared on the outside and juicy on the inside with no flare ups, plus they were pretty too. I only own two grates but I am going to buy 2 more. Two will fit 3 medium size steaks or maybe two large porterhouses. The trick with these is to make sure they get plenty hot before you throw your food on them. Make sure you get the cleaning brush with it because your standard grill brush wont get down deep into grates when you try and clean it.

Koolatron 401-596 White 12 volt Auto Grill

The family and I were taking a road trip through New Mexico when I got that sudden and familiar urge: I need ham. I had my wife Laura grab a nice, thick ham steak from the cooler at her feet. She offered to grill it for me, as I was driving at all, but in my family there's only one person that handles the grill, and that is me. My daughter Layla and my son Cody said they wanted hot dogs, so I threw them on the grill too.

Despite having different meat products, the Koolatron was cooking the ham and hot dogs evenly, and there was so much space I could have put another dog on there. I took my ham steak off first and it was really good: the Koolatron allowed the meat to retain much of its moisture and succulence.

Unfortunately, just as I was giving the hot dogs one final turn, I lost control of my vehicle, on I-40 about 30 miles west of Tucumcari. I don't remember much of the accident, just waking up in a hospital bed a few days later. It was then that I learned that Layla and Cody did not survive the crash. Laura was relatively unscathed, with only a broken leg and some broken ribs. I suffered burns over 40% of my body and had internal bleeding.

I got out of the hospital three weeks later. Laura and I decided to sell our home, as it held too many painful memories. It was bad. Laura and I found we couldn't live together, and recently divorced. The loss of the kids had a lot to do with it, but I could also not please her (my genitals had been burned off in the fire). I'm trying to date again, but it's been hard (as mentioned, I have no genitals it's like a Ken doll down there, but with the skin complexion of Freddy Kreuger).

However, once given the doctor's ok to operate a motor vehicle, I purchased another Koolatron and I can tell you that I've been happy with the (non-family destroying) results. Every time I cook something while driving a ham steak, hot dog, burger, etc it come out delicious and juicy. Of course, I'm no dummy and realize that another accident is just around the corner. But at this point, I don't even care anymore. I don't even care anymore.

PROS: lots of room, food retains moisture and doesn't dry out, durable

CONS: subsequent loss of family, genitals

I work for a utility company and I work out in the field. So I spend about $250 a month on lunch usually fast food or at a diner depending on the area I am at. Then I came across this grill. I thought wow I could to save some money using this grill. Got the grill followed the instruction and the hot plates were only warm to the touch. I did not even try to cook with it because it was just not hot enough.

For centuries, man has longed for the ability to cook while driving. With the advent of the Koolatron 401-596 (I can only imagine the countless hours focus groups must have logged to come up with that name), that dream has finally become a reality.

And what of the oils from said meat products? Why, the sloped design allows them to just melt away into the (included) drip tray! What could be safer than hot grease in a moving vehicle? Certainly, no one has ever spilled anything liquid in a car before! Safe as milk, it is!

I am happy to know that now he can have hot food and healthy eating while out on the road. I do recommend this grill and so does he!

Apparently this product hasn't gotten any better in the three years since the previous gentleman review it. I purchased this for my fiance who is a truck driver. I was hoping this would provide him a way of cooking meat/grilling sandwiches, but it only gets hot enough to melt the butter on the bread. Obviously, it wouldn't get hot enough to cook a piece of raw meat. It's being returned. Very disappointed.

Global Sun Oven® - World's Best Solar Oven

Global Solar Oven: I have baked cakes and bread so far. Everything has been done to perfection. Much easier than a conventional oven, and results are better. Only regret is that I waited so long to purchase one. Preheats much faster than a conventional oven, bakes evenly, and is close to normal cooking times. Well worth it !!

Works well, have reached 400 degrees on an April day in central AZ @ 5500 feet elevation, full sun.

You'll want to 'dry run' it in full-sun conditions 3 or 4 times before using it with food; as the enamel/paint they use to coat the interior bleeds into the food taste the first few uses.

Highly recommend, will purchase 2 more for family members.

I have two of these ovens (one for two years) and use them year round. They are like using an oven or a slow cooker. They are well made and are easy to use. The only thing you can't do in them is deep fry.

We are going to bake something every day now with no more worrying about how much electricity our electric oven is sucking up.

I just talked with the manufacturer because I was only hitting 250 degrees and he told me how to line it up to the sun to hit 350 degrees (basically you make sure the wood edge near the handle plumbs down to its own shadow when you are looking straight down). I had the angle too high and he said most people go too steep (about 2 clicks too steep) and not too shallow. You can maintain a full 325-350 by tracking the sun every half hour.

He had a few other tips: 1. Spray some water on the top of bread so it will brown in addition to cooking. 2.Every time you open the lid the temp drops about 25 degrees and will recover in a few minutes, so don't open the door too often. 3.You can put a frozen chicken inside at 8am, aim it to where the sun will be at noon, and feast when you get home. 4.Cook things in dark enamel (available at Target) or cover with a dark cotton cloth. 5.Cover or bring inside when not using to save cleaning time.

Porcelain Coated Cast Iron Cooking Grid for BBQ Grillware and Brinkmann Grills

I bought these to replace my old grates in my GSC2418n / GSC2418 BBQ Grillware. They showed up with a huge arc/bend that was easy to see even before putting them on a flat and level surface. I am not even going to bother to use them. They do fit, but are completely warped. I am going to see what else is out on the market and won't be getting a replacement set sent to me. I will post up a picture or two showing the warp that I am talking about.

Update I thought I would give them another chance and had them ship me an additional set. Guess what? It came warped in the same manner. So that is a total of 6 of them all warped in the same manner. I would highly recommend steering clear of this product since clearly it has no QA process.

I ordered this for my GSC2418. It fits perfectly except I only need to pieces instead of all three. Now I have one extra grid.

The grates came on time and undamaged. Opening the package they look durable and hardy. I have a 4 burner grill and usually only use 2 burners. The grates have started to warp after several uses they are sagging in the middle. I didn't use high heat or heavy objects on grates. They are better than the cracked and rusted set I had before, but I don't think they will last very long.

Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish,12 oz

I am a professional housekeeper and as such clean and polish a LOT of stainless steel appliances. One of my clients has this spray and it works much better than any other brand I have used. It's very easy to use and leaves a nice sheen with only a minimal amount of buffing. It does not leave streaks and it does not leave my hands feeling oily like some stainless steel polishes will do.

As a clean fanatic I am always looking for cleaning products for my home. After trying several stainless steel cleaners with much disappointment, I tried Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish, WOW love it. Does exactly what it is marketed to do and the results are shiny and stunning. TIP: Use a microfiber cloth to apply and buff to a shine. If you have stubborn water marks ( I have on my dishwaher), spray and leave it on for a few minutes, the water marks disappear like magic. Love this product !!!!

This product was outstanding in cleaning my two stainless refrigerators...I found if you use a controlled application with a soft clothe you can accomplish a quicker wipe down...The product worked better than my expectation...

Read Best Reviews of Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish,12 oz Here

We have all SS appliances, and this works wonders! Returns the surface to factory finish quality. It works well with caked on dirt/food/water stains, gets them out no problem, and continues to polish. It works more like a traditional polisher and not just a cleaner. So you have to rub it with some elbow grease, and it takes a minute per area to get the polisher to really shine. I usually use two microfiber towels, one to wipe down the initial spot that cleans off the gunk, the second towel to go over each spot for about 30-60s to give it a good polish shine.

I can compare this directly to the WOW stainless steal cleaner. Which, I'm not sure what I'd classify that as. It's a lot thinner of a liquid, so it doesn't really seem to polish to a shine as well. What's even more upsetting is the WOW cleaner DOES NOT clean at all. We'll get water drip stains down the front of the fridge from the ice maker, and the WOW can't even get out a water stain/spot, let alone anything caked on. If your SS is already clean and you just want a real quick semi-shine then maybe WOW would be the go to product. Otherwise I'd recommend Weiman hands down, every time.

This is the only stainless cleaner I have tried other than commercial stuff for restaurant equipment. With a microfiber towel it does what it claims, which is clean and polish my new stainless steel fridge. IT is supposed to keep finger prints from showing and it kind of does help some but do not expect it to make your appliances smudge proof.... not going to happen. I find I wipe mine down almost daily with my microfiber towel but only use the spray cleaner once or twice a week.

Amcor AF8000E 8,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner

I can't say I've had as good an experience as others reported here...the main problem I've discovered is that the compressor only cycles on for about seven minutes at a time, followed by fifteen minutes during which the machine simply operates as a fan and blows in hot air from outside. Company info on their web site indicates that this is being done to prevent the compressor from overheating--unfortunately, this results in the compressor remaining cool while my small studio apartment (only 200 sq feet) remains too hot. I don't know if other units have similar limitations, but I would hesitate to recommend this product on the basis of my own experience. Hope this is helpful to anyone looking to make a buying decision...

Overall I am very satisfied with this portable air conditioner.

The Good:

-Shipping was extremely fast (2 days for standard shipping).

-Installation was a breeze.

-The air that comes out is actually cold, and powerful. The fan produces a terrific draft of cool air.

-It cools the room quickly.

-The evaporative draining system is great... no emptying buckets of water constantly!

The Bad:

-It does make some noise (no more than a normal window air conditioner would). But I would say the relief from a hot, humid day is well worth the buzzing noise.

-The exhaust hose was larger than I expected. Which means if you don't place the air conditioner strategically, it can be a huge eye sore in the room.

However, it does do its job well and I would recommend this unit to anyone needing to cool a room/dorm/small apartment. Enjoy!

I purchased this unit out of desperation in the midst of a heat-wave. I read a lot of reviews and settled on this guy, and I'm not disappointed. My living room isn't huge (approx. 12'x16'), but it cools it down effectively.

The Pros:

My girlfriend loves the remote. You can change the mode, target temperature, fan speed, and turn it on and off without moving off the couch.

I like that it shows you the temperature. I also like that it automatically kicks the compressor on and off as needed.

No buckets to empty.

The Cons:

When the other reviews talk about the exhaust tube being big, they're lying. It's FREAKIN' HUGE. Think dryer hose.

There's no way (that I've found, at least) to set it to turn off when it hits the target temperature. I still panic over high energy bills, so it's scary to leave it running all the time. I'd like it a lot more if it would not only kill the compressor, but shut down the whole unit when the room becomes cool enough.

It's fairly noisy. I don't have a lot of experience with air conditioners, but it's louder than the few units I've been around before. It's not terrible, though, so this is only a half-con. More of a concern, I guess.

It's not an Energy Star appliance. That was my biggest hesitation point before I ultimately bought this unit.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchase. I might come back and change my tune after I've seen a couple months of energy bills, but last month's only went up marginally. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Much better than my old window units. Because of the portability you can make the most of the 8000 BTUs by directing the air at the right location and level. I also live in the Northeast so there are many days I can just roll it into a closet until the next heat wave. No ugly window unit just sitting there all summer. You may have to cut a piece of plastic if you want a custom window fit but I simply make up the gap of several inches with a small white rag that blends right in -easy to move to windows of different sizes. Highly recommend this Amcor model!!! Be careful if you select other units as this is a newer technology at these price points so a brand name may not mean much. I never heard of Amcor but the great reviews on this unit swayed me and it has been rock solid. No water to drain. I suspect as you go to higher BTUs with any brand you run the risk of it being more unreliable.

Portability is definitely an advantage of this AC. And it does cool down the room for a good night's sleep.

Good Times Xpress Redi Set Go Cooker

I watched the infomercial for months. It seemed simple and Cathy Mitchell seemed believable. By the time the commercial ended...I was anxious to own one. My little George Foreman finally gave way and as a Christmas present to myself I purchased one. The first meal I tried was pork chops and potatoes. Cathy always made it simple. Popped in the food, set the timer for 7 to 12 minutes and out comes a delicious meal. The potatoes never cooked well at all. After 15 minutes, the edges were fine but the middle still hard so I popped in the microwave and finished. Pork chops were my next attempt. Never seared as there was too much juice. I kept pouring it off and finally browned a bit but I could have cooked faster on the stove. So okay, not good for meats and potatoes. Eggs should work. For breakfast, I tried an omelet and bacon. Bacon steamed and did not crispin. Omelet cooked for 12 minutes and still the center was not cooked well. So I tried a flat bread pizza with pesto and cheese. The bread did crispin but the cheese hardly melted in the center. Took longer than the 7 minutes on the commercial. Tried a grilled pastrami and cheese sandwich. The bread browned, nearly burnt in the 7 minutes, only the edges of the cheese melted. The center was still cold, but if I cooked longer, then the bread would have burnt. My little George Foreman cooked so much better. I felt I gave the Express RediSetGo a good try. I e-mailed and told customer service I wanted to return it. They said I could return it for a replacement as mine might be defective or I could get a full-refund. However, I lose the shipping charges no matter what and that was $16.95. After reading the review by another consumer, I will not use their express return tag included in the package. Instead, I will mail with my own label and pay for signed delivery confirmation. I am saddened it did not work as seen on television. I was really looking forward to fast and easy meals when I'm on the go.

I don't even think this deserves a 1 star! It barely lasted me a month... I got about 5-7 uses and tada...... PEELING!

Purchased this item and was very excited to make the pizza! The taste was great...added a few toppings of my own and turned out very tasty!

After 2 weeks or so, I noticed a little bubble starting on the inside. I always sprayed with pam. Used the plastic spatula it came with but it got worst.

By almost 4 weeks.... the whole bottom is peeling! It's some sort of cheap non stick coating!!! Horrible!

For the money I could have purchased a really nice toaster oven!!!!

Customer Service is horrible, shipping is ridiculous. They could use priority mail and it would be way cheaper!

WHAT A JOKE! Don't waste your money.... I wish I hadn't!! I wish I had read all the reviews before I purchased it!

Complete waste of money!!!!!!!

I bought this for my Mom and it's the biggest piece of junk. She's had it less than 3 weeks and is returning it today. The red exterior paint is bubbling and flaking off, the unit has loud popping noises when heating and cooling and the non-stick coating scratches even when using the plastic utensils. They conned me into the extra $9.95 recipe club and that made the shipping jump from $16.95 to $21.90!

I ordered the Xpress Redi-Set-Go on September 13, 2009 and when it arrived I had been charged $71.90 for an item which was advertised for $39.90. I did not opt to be a member of Cathy's Club, but was charged $9.95 to be one, plus shipping and handling was a whopping $21.90.

On November 11, 2009 I received notification that $14.90 had been deducted (against my credit card used to purchase the Redi-Set-Go) for three recipe booklets ($9.95) and $4.95 (shipping and handling).

To get the credit card company to refuse these "automatic" charges, I would have to cancel my credit card and have a new one issued. My bank gave me the telephone number used for the deduction, so I called and talked to "Victoria".

I was refused a credit and the only thing that I was able to resolve was that they agreed to cancel my "membership", that I didn't want in the first place. I asked that they e-mail me confirmation of the cancellation, however, that did not happen.

BEWARE! A lot of people are experiencing the same kind of "memberships" which they did not opt for, but don't know how to get out of it. I will report this company to the Federal Trade Commission.

I was SO excited when my Redi-Set-Go finally arrived! Well, I was in for somewhat of a disappointment! First, I was smart enough not to get conned into the recipe club (and I am SO glad that I didn't cause it's totally NOT worth it), but I was DUMB enough to fall for ANOTHER infomercial item! I had owned the George Foreman Grill years ago, and I loved it! So, I kind of had high hopes for this one!

First off, I learned my lesson the hard way by "trying" to cook burgers on it! Not only did it make a HUGE, greasy mess, but even though I sprayed both surfaces with cooking spray, everything still stuck! They didn't cook right, either. Plus, my house looked like a fog machine went off and it stunk like a restaurant kitchen till the next day!! On the commercial, that lady cooks a slab of steak, so I thought these would be OK! But, maybe burgers weren't MEANT to be cooked on the Redi-Set-Go, so I blamed myself for this one!

Next, I was dying to try the mini pizza recipe and those came out pretty good! I used the Boboli crust (which I had to trim down cause even their "mini" was too big), Boboli pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Probably a better idea for lunch rather than dinner!

After that, I tried the mini-cakes using both the insertable pans and those were a hit with my family!! (Super easy, too!) Only thing though, you have to cook it WAY longer than the recipe says!!

The next time I tried a chicken strip recipe that was actually MEANT for the grill, and I had the SAME problem as I did with the burgers!!! I stopped after I made one and made the rest in my oven.

I've been reading some of the other reviews, on here and other web sites, and I am having the same problem with the paint bubbling and peeling! Not only that, but the timer stopped working after the first time I used it! I clean the inside surface after every item I cook the exact way the booklet says to do it, and the non-stick surface is also chipping away!

I don't know if I would rate this thing as high as some other people, but I have to say that it's not something you would want to cook any "dinner" item on. It's more of a breakfast/lunch/dessert thing! Definitely "cheaply" made! (I was really surprised the first time I saw it!) I honestly didn't feel like going through the aggravation of calling their customer center and trying to get a new one, or to get my money back.

Nordic Ware Holiday Wreath Pan

For many years I owned the basic fluted Nordic Ware bundt pan. Occasionally I made a rich pound cake and then returned the pan to its place in the cabinet not giving the matter much thought. Then a few years ago I saw this Christmas Wreath pan in a gourmet cooking shop. I'm not sure if it was the intricacy of the design or the obvious quality but I had to have it and as other beautiful designs are created by Nordic Ware, they are added to my bundt pan collection. Using a pan like this makes baking in a plain round or rectangle seems unnecessarily bland. This pan produces gorgeous cakes that look simply stunning. No additional decorating is needed, except for a sprinkle of powdered sugar to bring out the details.

Begin by spraying the pan liberally with a baking spray that contains flour, like baker's joy, then turn the pan upside down and let it drain over paper towels while preparing the cake. Use a thick batter either from scratch or alter a cake mix. The included recipe is great and there are are many recipes on the Internet and some good cookbooks to help, but one simple method when using a mix is to substitute the water for plain yogurt or sour cream (non-fat work fine, too) and add an extra egg (or two egg whites). Light colored batters show off the detail in but anything will look nice. Any additions to the batter should be small, like mini-chocolate chips, citrus zest, poppy seeds or finely chopped nuts so they don't sink to the bottom of the cake mold and ruin the design.

The pan should be filled 2/3 full of batter to ensure the entire design of the pan is included in the finished cake. My first attempt using this pan only had the batter reaching slightly above the half-way point, so when it finished baking the batter never rose fully to incorporate all the details of the bottom edge. It still looked nice and tasted great, but I always made extra batter after that, which I use to make mini bundt cakes. Give the pan a good rap or two on the counter before putting it in the oven to release any air bubbles (they interfere with the design.)

Be sure to let the cake rest in the pan after it comes out of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes (but no more) and then put a cooling rack on the top of the pan and turn the pan over. The cake should pop right out. I've made many and never had one stick. The key to good release is in using a baking spray and allowing the 10-15 minute rest period before unmolding. If after baking the bottom of the cake is uneven, before unmolding, take a bread knife and gently cut straight across to slice off the high parts so the cake will sit flat. Never use metal utensils on the pan or harsh scouring pads. With a little care the pan should last a lifetime.

I baked Ina Garten's Lemon Cake in this pan for the Holidays and it was not only a gorgeous cake it was delicious..The cake came right out of the pan and I brushed the glaze on with a wide pastry brush...I own many many nordicware pans and this is one of my very favorites. In case your wondering..the pan is large but the cake recipe from Food Network was adequate to make a nice cake without doubling the recipe!...I also brushed the pan with shortning prior to flouring it and lowered the oven temp. to 325 Degrees and it came out a golden brown,just like the picture. If you do a lot of baking...this is a pan to add to your collection!..Thanks Amazon.

I saw this pan on a gold box last year and had to have it. I'm so glad I bought it. It is a heavy, high quality pan that turns out everytime with ease. I use a light coat of Pam for Baking. The first time I used it, I made the Hershey's Chocolate Cake recipe (the one of the back of the box) and dusted with powder sugar. Next I made my carrot cake. My carrot cake is a very, very dense carrot and spice cake that is a family favorite. WOW! It came out so nicely that I did not frost it but served cream cheese frosting in a crystal bowl next to it. Next time I may just pipe some red frosting on the ribbon to make it pop.

I love the Nordic Ware pans so much that I now own 3 and am looking at replacing all my baking pans with these.

Any cake pan will do when baking a studded fruit cake or any other cake for that matter. But Nordic ware pans are so beautiful and sturdily made. This one is no exception. I found this elsewhere and am not dissapointed in the way this bakes and how stunning these cakes leave your table during the holidays or any celebration. Remember though to butter it well, with a pastry brush to get into the grooves, and dust with flour for easy release. Enjoy!

This pan is wonderful when decorated with my little plastic santa in his sleigh & pulled by the reindeers. I have the reindeers flying over the hole in the middle of the cake with little plastic trees spread around the cake so it actually looks like the sleigh with Santa in it is flying. I also dust the final product very lightly with icing sugar to resemble snow. I am only sorry I didn't have it earlier in life but oh well, will make the best of it now. I will think of other occasions to use it for undoubtedly. It is awesome, love it.

What started the search for this pan was my leftover eggnog every year, eggnog freezes well, so not having the time to make the cake right away, I froze the eggnog before it soured to make the cake a few days later. I got tired throwing the eggnog away at the end of each Christmas, so I "Googled" recipes to use eggnog with. I got this wonderful recipe for Eggnog Pound Cake. It was sooo yummy I decided that it was to be a family happening every Christmas. So now I make my own eggnog or buy it ahead of time if available to make the cake ahead of Christmas. To take it another step forward, I searched my pantry and came up with the small Christmaas decorations to help make it more festive.

Big Green Egg Salt and Pepper Shakers

• Salt and Pepper Shakers

These were received undamaged, and were shipped quickly.

The quality of the shakers is just so-so ... paint was smeary, and the castings just not very sharp. The identifying "S" and "P" markings are just molded in, and are not painted, making them difficult to discern. The plastic plugs in the bottom of the shakers are made from very cheap plastic, and probably will not last very long. All in all, these guys will be just sit-around objects, and will not ever be used for dispensing salt or pepper ... I would not buy these again.
