George Foreman PN2PC180 Panini Maker

Overall, this model is a step up from my last George Foreman Grill. This is actually the third George Foreman Grill that I have purchased.

First, ignore the initial smell that you get when you first use it. This will go away and is probably a result of packaging.

Grill Plates: These are an improvement over the coating on the last model I have. They are lighter and and coated better and easier to clean. I did NOT have to use cooking spray on them such as Pam. Try not using cooking spray and you'll see that the results are good.

Temperature: This model does not have a temp. gauge. That would be a worthy additional feature but not absolutely necessary. However, it does take 7 to 10 minutes to really warm up for cooking. And, although the temp dial it does have goes from low to high, I only use High (all the way) because that is the only way to get it to heat up enough to cook things.

Panini Functionality: I must say that after some initial skepticism I really do like its ability to produce a delectable panini product. I have tried this with different breads and content and it always produces a welcome result. The ability to hold down the plates with the handle also proves useful in cooking situations. For instance, if I note that a salmon fillet is JUST not at the level of doneness I like I hold the handle down for a few seconds and "voila", its perfectly done.

Clean Up: Again, these grill plates, due to their coating, are much easier to clean. In fact, I don't bother to put them in the dishwasher because a) in the past I believe that doing so diminishes the coating's effectiveness over time and b) you can easily clean them with a sponge after they cool.

One last thing is that this model's foot print is better because it is not as wide as my last model but it seems to retain the same footprint for grilling.

I would say that this is a buy when you compare its features, how it performs and for the price. Other similar models are more expensive. Enjoy!

I love the George Foreman Grill. Its the perfect size for making two or three meat cuts all at once. The one thing i was dissapointed in is that I thought it came with various plates and it just came with the one set of plates. Other than Im in love. The temperaturew control is a great feature. The removable plates make it a breeze to clean. The hidden grease holder is great cause you dont loose it. And the option to incline or not the grill also makes it more versatile.

This grill is perfect for me because the plates are removable so it is easy to clean, it has temperature control and it allows me to grill thick food (like bone-in chicken leg quarters). I like it so much and highly recommend it.

4" Polar Array BBQ Grill, Smoker or Pit Air Venting Damper Kit

Shipping was great. Buyer should be aware that disc is totally flat and is cut out of 1/8" steel. My application (modifying an ECB el cheapo brinkman vertical smoker) required a convex contour for proper fitment. So I spent a fair bit of time pounding on the backside of the disc with mallet to get a shape that worked for me. After shaping and painting with black heat paint the part is great. It may be easier and cheaper to find comparable aluminum disc's as an alternative.

Maybe a bit pricey for what it is, but worth it if you really need one. I would recommend, too.

Vornado 660 Whole Room Air Circulator, 4 Speeds

I live in a medium sized 1 bedroom apartment. I wanted a small fan. I originally bought a smaller, $40 Vornado fan and found that I had to turn it all the way up to circulate air in the room, which meant the fan made a lot of noise. I did some comparison research on the Vornado web site, and found that this fan (the 660 series) has the lowest "power consumed to air moved" ratio of any other Vornado fan, meaning this is the most energy efficient fan that Vornado makes, so I returned the small fan and traded up for this fan.

This fan is much larger than what I thought I needed (and twice the price of the $40 fan I was looking at). This fan has better air circulation on the lowest setting than the smaller fan did on the highest setting. Since I'm using a lower fan setting, this fan is very quiet. Plus I have the option of turning it up all the way if I really want to move some air.

The directional focus of the fan works as advertised. I put the fan in one corner of the room, and can literally feel a column of air at the opposite corner of the room.

The circulation of the fan works as advertised. I can feel the fan drawing air in from the sides when I stand to one side of the fan. When I first turned the fan on, it was on a high shelf, and it drew up dust bunnies from the floor and spat them out. The temperature in the room feels more balanced. The AC doesn't seem to run as often (I'm writing this in the middle of the July 2010 heat wave in DC). There are no hot spots or cool spots in the room. I feel cooler, having a constant, subtle flow of air around me.

I'm very happy with this fan. This is one product that works as advertised and so far it has been worth every penny. I move it between the living room and the bedroom every day, and I will likely buy another one of these fans soon.

As the proud owner of several Vornado fans that I've purchased and used over the past 15 years, the Vornado 660B is especially interesting. First, as most (if not all) Vornado fans are currently made in China with lower quality and satisfaction than the American made Vornado's of past, the 660B also shares China as it's birthplace. Luckily, Vornado has done something really right in the design and manufacturing this time simply put, the 660B is easily the highest quality Vornado I've ever used. There is essentially no vibration or mechanical noise. On the lower speeds, plenty of air is moved with a very gentle sound (quieter and more airflow than the Dyson fan it was sitting next to on the shelf). On the higher speeds, there is a wind noise with lots of airflow. Compared to the rotary switch of old, the new push buttons on top of the fan housing are much easier to use and there is a gentle beep with each press.

Negatives? Being really picky, you could possibly be unhappy grabbing the chrome angle adjustment to use as a handle for moving the fan? Or possibly that you have to remove one phillips screw before pressing the three latches to remove the grill for cleaning of the blades? Realistically, my biggest complaint is that it takes a bit of wiggling and pressure to put the front grill back on.

I like this fan so much that I wrote to Vornado to let them know and to ask them if they would make additional sizes with the same excellent qualities. Their response was that the wish would be passed to their marketing department. If you think you will like this fan, buy it. That the Vornado 660B is also their most efficient is a nice bonus that makes it easier to leave the fan running for comfort.

Buy Vornado 660 Whole Room Air Circulator, 4 Speeds Now

This is my first Vornado fan, and I'm already planning to buy a second one for elsewhere in the house. This unit doesn't take up much room at all, but moves an amazing amount of air. It's so quiet when it's on the first couple of speeds that you can barely hear it. I've found that on hot summer nights, this fan works great in the bedroom. I have an older house, and the A/C doesn't reach the bedrooms very well. If I turn this fan on the lowest setting, or the second lowest, I'm comfortable all night long. I can keep my house a few degrees warmer, save electricity, and use this fan to stay comfortable. It really does what the manufacturer says, by circulating all of the air in the room! It has electronic button controls on the top of the housing which are easy to access when it's sitting on the floor. The friction tilt allows the fan to be positioned at infinite increments from up to down. I've been using this fan pretty much non-stop for several months, and am very happy with it.

Read Best Reviews of Vornado 660 Whole Room Air Circulator, 4 Speeds Here

Like all Vornado fans, this one is of extreme high quality, both in construction and durability. However, this particular model is my new favorite. Among my personal highlights:

Four speeds, instead of the normal three.

Push-button controls on the top of the fan, instead of the normal twist-dial. Goes directly to a specific speed instead of trial and error with dial.

Very quite almost can't hear the lowest speed. High speed is louder, but quite tolerable, especially given the large volume of air moved.

Air is driven in a tight column exactly where you want it to go.

I really like the curved metal rail on which the fan pivots up and down. Just the right amount of resistance, and always stays exactly where I want it.

Want Vornado 660 Whole Room Air Circulator, 4 Speeds Discount?

Vornado has a long reputation for making efficient, effective fans. The 660 Circulator is probably their most efficient, most effective and quietest fan. I cannot prove that, but I can testify that it is significantly more effective and quieter than their smaller fans, many of which I've owned. (The smaller fans don't move much air unless you turn them way up, and then they're really loud.)

Would I buy one again? I already have. I now have two 660s and they do their jobs well.

However, they are not perfect. The marketing claims the unit "fluidly tilts"—that's nonsense. It's easy enough to adjust (with two hands), and importantly, it stays put at whatever angle you choose. (That's a good thing.)

The major design blunder is the "intuitive push-button controls". These controls are five little buttons spread out over the top of the housing. They are hard to find in the dark, impossible to read in the dark, and even hard to read in the light. They emit a BEEP when pushed—the kind of beep that's likely to disturb anybody sleeping in the room. Moreover, when you power on the fan (BEEP!), it immediately launches at its fastest, loudest setting, producing a loud whoosh noise, until you find a lower setting (BEEP!). Whoever designed this "intuitive" button scheme is a fool. Well, at least they didn't add any glowing LEDs!

GE Profile Spacemaker Series : JVM1790SK 1.7 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave Oven - Stainless Stee

WE've had this oven/microwave for 4 months now and absolutely love it. We got it so that we could have a second oven without doing a major renovation. So far it's worked well as a microwave and great as an oven. I'll assess them seperatly.

--AS a microwave, it's a little slower cooking than others we have had, but heats evenly, has a turntable, and rack. We really love the dial control...kind of like an ipod, simple and efficient.

--As an 2nd oven it is perfect for us and we actually use it frequently as the primary oven because 1) It heats up faster and cooks faster 2) It is more energy efficient with a smaller space to heat adn 3) it vents outside so it doesn't heat up the house in the summer at all.

As for the price, it is expensive, but was a much cheaper way to get a second oven for us and we are very happy with it.

After reading the mixed reviews for this oven, the only unfavorable ones complained that if the oven light needed to be replaced, the unit had to be taken down from the wall. Well we purchased one anyway because to save $175 or more, I would have no problem taking it down myself to change the light bulb; it's not that hard.

We installed it, and wouldn't you know it, ...it stopped working after one successful test. We phoned the GE appliance department, also easy to do on-line, and they were here the next morning.

The repairman opened the oven by removing the grill from across the top. Two half-inch screws hold it in place from the top edge. He was then able to open the front control panel so he could adjust a misaligned door switch. He did not have to take the oven down from the cabinet.

Here is the revelation: the halogen light-bulb, in question, is located behind the grill right beneath the opening where the charcoal filter would be mounted, if you used one. Anyone with a Philips screwdriver can take these two screws out and save himself or herself a $175 service call.

The repairman suggested that we leave the screws out to make it easier next time. The grill fits snuggly without the screws.

When our new kitchen is finished, we will give it a hard test, like cooking with the microwave and the convection oven combined. For now, we are giving it five stars because it appears that this is an excellent product and the repair service is terrific.

This review will be revised if any of this proves to be untrue later in time.

The features on the microwave are great. However, after 2.5 years the Magnetron (which actually warms the food became damaged). Spent about $250 on labor to repair it (part comes w/ 5 yr warranty). However, 2yrs later the magnetron blew out again. Spent $100 for tech guy to come out, and it would be another ~ $250, at which point it didn't make sense and figured I'd just buy a new one. Also, my cleaning person broke the turntable and it's $110 to replace!!! However, the features on this microwave are great, and now that I'm shopping for a new one, I'm hoping to find one w/ similar options, like the night lite, reminder beep when food is done, add 30 secs option during cook time. The popcorn preset button gives me perfect popcorn everytime! If you get a GE, do yourself a favor and get the extended warranty.

We bought this w/ other GE Profile products (Dishwasher & Refrigerator) from PC Richards and I'm very glad we did.

We just did a full renovation and my contrator said this installed very easily and the venting was a breeze; straight up and then over 8 Ft.

It's constantly in use w/ two kids around. The dial knob makes it very easy to pick a cook time and temperature. Just turn and press. Convection bake works great for the hamburgers and meatloafs we usually have and it beats heating up the kitchen w/ the stove.

The micro-express button works in 30 second increments and if you need more time you just keep pressing it or spin the dial.

The popcorn preset button is a little short to pop them all but definitely not a deal breaker.

I would certainly recommend this product.

Overall, the microwave works fine like any micro should, no real complaints there. However, we have had this micro for a little over a year. The inside light burned out as well as the task light that lights up the stovetop below. I searched for the replacement lightbulbs locally at home depot, and several other stores, no luck. I searched online, found the correct lightbulbs. Ordered 4 lights, 2 spare for when they burn out again. I went to install them. The bottom task light was a breeze, done in a few minutes. I opened the inside of the micro and could not find anywhere to access the light, nor could I see where it was even at?

Now reading the reviews here, that you need to remove the entire micro from the wall, have a technician install a lightbulb? to the tune of $200? That is insane! What an incredibly terrible design!! Geez, the inside light is not that big of a deal, I for sure am not going through the work of taking it down and paying a technician to install a freaking lightbulb. What was GE thinking when they came up with this LAME design?

I have to give this 1 star.

Eco-friendly Diamond GreenLight Matches

Well, I'm almost embarrassed by this one. Last night, I went to start the furnace and I didn't have a match. (For those of you who might question the December 14 starting date, well I live in San Diego, so eat your heart out.) Alas, and I needed one of those long wooden ones so I could reach into the innards of the furnace to ignite the pilot light. Well, I found a box of Diamond Greenlight "Strike on Box Matches" at a nearby store and all was solved. One match did the trick. Plus, there's 299 more of them so I'm stocked well into the future. In addition, these things can be real handy on camping trips. Nice matches from an old trusted brand. Who could have asked for more?

You're probably buying these matches because of their ethical sourcing, but I also recommend them for being extremely easy to light. You won't have to keep hitting the strike pad over and over again. If you're looking for small, all-purpose matches (or camping matches), you can't do better.

Weber 4521001 Spirit E-310 Natural Gas Grill, Black

This grill, while pricey, is very likely the best free-standing 3-burner grill I've ever used (for its size). I chose the natural gas version because I have a stub-out in my back patio that allows me to grill without the inconvenience of picking up and refilling propane tanks. I've actually used quite a few natural gas grills and this is the only one that's actually managed to heat rapidly and hold a temperature with any real success. The first time I used this grill, it achieved 550 degrees (f) in just under 10 minutes with all 3 burners on high. For those who know, temperatures north of 500 degrees (f) are REQUIRED for searing steaks properly. I also appreciate the side-mounted controls as they help keep the grill's depth to a minimum (a MUST in my small back patio). I also REALLY like the new stainless steel design for 2009. I was never a fan of the plastic/poly construction of previous years. In conclusion, I highly recommend this grill to anyone who's looking for a quality piece of grilling hardware that will stand the test of time. Also, be sure to pick up Weber's custom grill cover to protect your investment if you're not storing the grill in a shed or covered area. Weber Premuim Gas Grill Cover For Spirit 200/300 Series Grills

Excellent grill. Assembly took a little over an hour but all parts are of good quality and the pieces all fit together perfectly no bending or forcing anything.

Grill heats evenly, no flare ups, and it gets hot fast: 600+ in less than 10 minutes for me.

After setup I thought my gas line wasn't working fully because I could not see flames from the burners. Turned out the flames are just so hot and blue that you can't see them easily in sunlight (close the lid and look through match hole to see them).

Weber customer service is excellent called about not seeing burner flames. Calling their 1-800 number results in speaking to a real person in less than 1 minute who stays with you until your issue is resolved.

I was going to buy this exact same grill from Home Depot online, until they infomed me that shipping was going to run me $75.00! Amazon shipped it for free! I wanted to post a rant on HD's website warning everyone that they are paying high shipping costs unnecessarily, but their guidelines don't allow mention of any competitors.

The grill itself is great! Only took an hour to assemble, would have assembled faster if I hadn't gone slow in order to get it right the first time. Cooked steaks for the first time on it tonight, and there were no hot spots of any kind. There are still occasional flare-ups, but I don't think you can get away from that with any grill...and I've had several.

All in all, an excellent experience and great product! Thanks Amazon!

I've had my grill for about a month now and have no complaints. Everything arrived intact with no shipping problems. Assembly was completed in about an hour and was not overly complex. In fact the directions were far clearer than most self-assembly items.

As for performance, the grill works well and it's nice being able to cook something that takes a long time without worrying about running out of gas. I wanted a natural gas grill for a long time but I kept waiting for my old Weber (Silver) to give up the ghost...it never did. I finally just found a place to donate it.

The starter seems much improved. It's not real sturdy but it doesn't need to be either; just takes a light push. One nice thing is that it works after heavy rain with no issue. My old manual 'red button' light would fail when wet.

One other thing that's sneaky nice is that it easy to move around. While tethered to the gas supply, the hose is still very long and the wheels reasonably sturdy. Plus with no propane tank the wheel action is more balanced and lighter. This provides a nice feature on my patio. I can pull it out when needed, but easily get it off to the side when not grilling. I was considering a built-in type, but this is far better for me.

Considering my past experience with a Weber grill, I expect to have this one for a long time.

Price with free delivery made Amazon the low cost provider of this Weber Gas Grill that was to replace our crumbling 18-year-old unit. Cooking on the old grill was always a guessing game, but the new Weber takes the mystery out of the process. Follow the cookbook recommendations on time, heat levels, and direct or indirect heating and you find yourself the new highly respected chef of the household.

The grill was shipped when promised, the trucking company called to schedule a time, and it arrived within the window that had been set. Assembly takes a bit of time, but the instructions are understandable and no special tools are required.

My unit was the natural gas version, so connecting to the gas line coming from the house required a trip to the local Ace Hardware to match the provided quick connect to an assembly that would tie into the gas line. A neighbor with a little prior experience helped here in assuring no gas leakages.

Emeril by All-Clad E9640764 Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron 12-Inch Skillet Cookware, Black

I purchased this skillet after reading every review here, believing that the negative reviews were probably due to a lack of understanding how to work with cast iron.

At first, I did like the skillet. I took it through my own seasoning process (even though it was pre-seasoned) and was happy with both the appearance and (more importantly) the cooking qualities the first couple of times I used it.

I have been using it 1-2 times daily for the two weeks I've had it. A cast iron skillet is supposed to become better and more seasoned the more you use it. This one, however, is becoming worse. It doesn't heat as evenly as my other cast iron pieces, and no matter how carefully I clean and re-season it (I clean with kosher salt and a lint-free cloth, rinse with hot water, towel-dry then heat-dry it, then re-season with oil), the "seasoning" is becoming more and more uneven.

I had hesitated to buy this skillet since it's made in China and I don't want even the smallest chance that there is lead in this skillet. I should have gone with my hunch because now, more than ever, I'm upset at the idea of unknown elements being in this skillet, especially since the skillet isn't up to par with my other cast iron. I've also heard more and more stories of Emeril cast iron cracking... which I had thought initially due to too-rapid heating or cooking, but now I'm wondering if the Chinese cast iron itself is an inferior compound with sub-par "filler" material.

By point of comparison, four days ago I bought two Lodge 8" skillets. Of course, after my Emeril pre-seasoning experience, I had low expectations. But I was amazed as I gently washed them for the first time and water actually beaded on the surface and rolled right off. I decided to do something bold and daring, and cooked some eggs in the Lodge -only the second time I cooked with it. Amazingly, those eggs slid right out as if the pan were Teflon -a minor miracle with cast iron.

I can't return this skillet since I've used it, but I will be buying a Lodge 12" skillet instead. I'd rather waste my money and KNOW that I'm buying a safe, time-tested, made-in-the-USA item from a company with a longstanding reputation. The Lodge skillet is much less expensive, yet worth so much more... the superior pre-seasoning and the highly reputable manufacturer make Lodge the better deal even if it were higher-priced. Sorry, Emeril, but my vote is with Lodge.

If hadn't looked any further than the reviews here, I wouldn't have purchased this pan, but the reviewers seemed a little 'green' when it comes to cast iron and so I looked around some and ended up buying it. I have to say I am very satisfied.

First of all, I have never seen a 'pre-seasoned' piece of cast iron that was actually meant to be cooked in straight away. The instructions that come with this pan (for those who bothered to read them) recommend further seasoning anyway.

And yes, it does need further seasoning and careful integration into your cooking setup. Cast iron rewards patience, and this pan is a great big piece of iron, heavier and thicker than the Lodge equivalent and made to last for generations. It also is a bit rough textured for a cast iron pan and you will find that it takes longer to build up a nice slick surface, but it's far from impossible as has been suggested. Only the years will tell, but my guess is that it will hold on to its seasoning particularly well once it's fully established.

For the record, this is the method I use to season my cast iron:

-Rub a thin layer of lard or vegetable shortening on the pan, inside and out

-Put the pan in 300 degree oven for 15 minutes, pull it out and pour off any fat that's pooled in the bottom

-Put it back in for a couple hours

-Turn off the oven and let it cool in there

-Repeat this process a few times afterward, but in a 450 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour

-If the pan is sticky when you're done with a seasoning, you didn't cook it long enough

After owning this product for 2+ plus years the quality is exceptional and the pan is durable and well made. I am not a huge fan of Emeril's television show but his products are excellent. I am of the opinion that the negative reviews of this product are written by people that simply do not know how to work with cast iron.

Bought this for my new wood fired brick oven on my back deck. This brush worked decently however did the bristles were not close enough to push back all of the ash so you would readily get ash on the bottoms of the first pizzas you cooked. The disappointing thing was when the brush broke at the base of where the handle connects to the brush. The material was not made of steel but of more a casted type material. Needless to say, lasted for a good 4-5 times with very light use before breaking. Unfortunately I was 1 week late on my report to amazon, so I may be out of luck. This is certainly not *Commercial Grade*

The handle broke off the very first time we used it and the bristles also crimped the first time used

The screw that holds the brush onto the wood came unscrewed the first time I used it I screwed it back in and it did it again .... I had to get another screw and drill it in ...

Very poor quality don't buy this one .....

The wire bristles on the 37 inch pizza branch were spread too far apart scrape leftover cornmeal off the pizza stone takes a long time very unsatisfied with it. They should put the bristles closer together

George Foreman Original Next Grilleration White

George Foreman grill purchased through Amazon (one of their sellers) was defective from the getgo. I sent it back via a prepaid label provided by the seller. I had to really prod them to get my full credit back after they had already received the product and had it for several days! Finally on the 18th of August, I sent them another email about their non-responsiveness to issuing my credit. They proceeded to go to work on it then and shortly afterwards on the same day, told me that Amazon would soon be issuing my credit. I received the full credit today but after much pain and agony..........Just be careful! I would not recommend this seller nor this particular George Foreman Grill..........

Bought it new.. First time using it and it doesn't work. Light turns off in about 2 minutes and it stops heating. Manual says light shuts off and on to regulate temparature.. but this one just shuts off.. A major disappointment.. This one is made in CHINA.. I guess they are cutting costs and quality. Took me about 1 hour to cook a chicken breast. Had to unplug and plug it in several times for it to turn back ON.. I will return it tomorrow. OH and I already own 2 larger GEORGE foreman grills that don't have this problem.

I love that the plates come off and go right in the dishwasher. Only downside as ours doesn't seem to heat as well as my old one that had non-removeable plates. But hey, it does the job as i wanted, so we will keep it!

This might be a fine unit for some people but I found it to be more trouble than it's worth. It's quicker and easier to cook on my gas stove and my cookware is easier to clean. I used it two or three times and threw it away.

works great

drawbacks include a lot of electricity usage (can't use microwave and other things with george foreman grill at the same time, according to my mother), and smaller than i thought

works great though
