Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Pro-S 4-Piece Steak Set

Oh, dear God, I love these knives. Their weight in your hand is hefty without being tiring. The blades are sharp, precise, and easy to handle. And do they slice? I mean -and do they SLICE!!!

After each meal, I hand-wash these instruments and give them a quick touch of the sharpening stone. I then gently, very gently, place them back into their case for safekeeping. Is it any wonder my fiancé is jealous?

I do have one complaint -I only have four of these knives. I'm going to need at least eight more for the grilling I plan to do next summer. I mean, it's going to take a big patio party to properly show off these fine blades.

The bogus MSRP price in this listing aside, the $99 is the typical street price for this set and it's not cheap but so worth it. Very good quality in blade and handle. The knives make eating steak a special event ... well, almost. But it's a serious step up from the Eversharp knives, where the serration is great but rips the meat rather than cut (as the smooth edged Pro-S). Would buy again, even if the price is a bit high.

I've had these knives for a month now and like them very much. They cut very nicely and feel good in your hand. I've swiped them on my steel a few times and they keep their sharpness. I think anyone would be happy with these knives.

Splurged three years ago and got 2 sets. Love em. They are still sharp and can draw a thin slice off the end of a New York Strip with ease. Guests love them too. That's why I need 8 more. Our backyard grilling events are getting more popular and I really hate to give some guests the second string knives. I am sitting here pondering the expense. Some things are worth the extra money though and this is probably one of them!

Kalorik Stainless Steel Rotisserie

Pros:

1. This thing is FAST if you cook on high setting. I had a 4.5lb chicken done in 30 minutes. It will take some experimentation to get the timing just right to allow the skin to brown well as the meat is getting done. For example, the manual says 15 mins/lb for chicken, first half on high, second on low. Don't believe it. You'll probably do better with 15-20 minutes on high and another 10-20 minutes on low on low for a chicken under 5 lbs.

2. The chickens I've cooked so far come out juicy and tender, and very flavorful even with little seasoning.

3. Good value for the price paid, which was nowhere near MSRP.

4. Cleanup is relatively easy so far. Use plenty of cooking spray and don't cook foods with sticky marinade and you'll probably be fine. Dry rubs and injected marinades will work best.

5. Includes skewers for kebabs, hotdogs, etc., and you can also cook roasts, although you'll have a hole down the middle.

Cons:

1. It's hard to get the skin to brown evenly probably due to point two, below. There are three U-shaped heating elements (plus the center element which can be turned off for roasts) which turn on and off in sequence around the sides, and the radiant heat isn't even. I've compensated for this somewhat by manually rotating the chicken once partway through cooking to get a more even browning.

2. It's not a rotisserie, as another reviewer noted, so if you require one, look elsewhere. The heat rotates around the chicken as opposed to the chicken rotating. This means you won't get the same effect of the hot fats moisturizing and crisping on the skin as the chicken rotates. They just drain into the drip pan. The skin still crisps, but it's not quite the same.

3. It's pretty big on the counter.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with this appliance.

**Edit 2/19/11**

As noted by an anonymous or unfortunately named reviewer who believes everyone who disagrees with him is a shill, it can be hard to get the bottom drip pan out cleanly when removing food. This is because the pan fits too tightly around the center heating element. The problem can be avoided by being careful, or possibly widening the opening for the element. It's still four stars for me because it's fast and if you use it correctly, it produces good results.

**Edit 2/28/11**

Ok, with a pair of pliers and a little thought, this thing works much better. I compressed the upper arms of the drip pan that cover the heating element so the separate center heating element cover didn't fit so snugly, and also slightly widened the hole the element passes through in the bottom of the pan. This took maybe ten minutes. Now, when I lift out food using the provided hook, the food and stand lift out, leaving the drip pan in place as intended. Then I can pull the drip pan out separately after it's cooled.

I just cooked a pork loin roast with the center element on (and the oven on High) for about 12 minutes, then off for the rest of the cooking time on low, and it was perfect.

This is not the appliance for you if you want a "set and forget" oven, but it's fast and it will do a good job if your experience in cooking goes beyond the microwave.

This is my 4th type of rotisserie and I think I prefer it to the others that I have owned. You need to remember to reduce the heat when you're fixing chicken. I forgot and it came out to dry, so I made soup. I would purchase it again. There is no rotation, therefore it is very quiet.

During our first use we noticed that the platform does not rotate. We thought it may not work . Then we saw the elements rotating. What a great idea. The chicken cooked perfectly. We really like it !

Read Best Reviews of Kalorik Stainless Steel Rotisserie Here

My first review was very negative and I have since changed my mind regarding this product. Once I used it a few times I realize how wonderful it really is. I had a whole different picture of a rotisserie in my head, like the ones in the supermarkets. This one is absolutely great.Because it doesn't revolve around the food but rather the heating elements go off and on and in effect is the same thing but absolutely quiet. Pretty soon the aroma starts coming from it and then the whole place smells like wonderful food. It's easy to clean and takes up little space and I have a small kitchen. I plan on using it a lot this summer but so far my favorite is chicken. You can brine the chicken and then put a rub on it and oh so good.

Try it, you will love it.

This product sits pretty large on the kitchen counter. My chicken did not cook as fast as everyone claimed (30 mins). I had a 4 lbs chicken and it took a little over 1.5 hour on high to cook fully. I think two things this item can improve on are: 1) it doesn't rotate so it shouldn't called it a rotisserie. 2) there are 3 heat wires that only 2 gets turn on at one time. It switches and the other 2 gets turned on. What ended up happening is that for whatever reasons, the chicken doesn't cooked evenly. I've tried it twice and I still haven't managed to master this yet.

Overall, I do like this product. I like the fact that I can add different seasoning, push a button or two and let it cook.

Heavy Large Cast Iron Reversible Stovetop Griddle

This griddle is much more generous in size than any other griddle I have found. The placement of the handles provides a good compromise of cooking surface to handle.

Since it lacks that grease channel that most other griddles have, you gain that in usable cooking surface. You don't need a lot of grease to keep foods from sticking to cast iron, particularly the griddle side. Also, other griddles have a slight slope to them for that grease to drain toward the grease well . . . which means, lopsided pancakes.

The grill side is also more evenly spaced than other griddles and makes for great panini sandwiches.

The preseasoning was acceptable, but all cast iron gets better with age and more seasoning. All in all, a great griddle/grill and great price. I use it almost daily. Only regrets are that it's not a little bigger to fit better over electric burners and that it's not an American made product.

Quality of product is very poor. Hoping that after seasoning and using over time I will have a decent griddle. This is the only griddle that actually fits on my gas stove. The size is perfect.

Nordic Ware Silver Dollar Waffle Griddle

9.20.2009 UPDATE

I am so surprised that this product only has 3 stars. I use this 2-3 times a month...I make 1 cup of gluten free mix which puts out 28-30 baby waffles...then I freeze them on a baking sheet, once frozen I then bag them. This process of freezing helps them not to stick to each other.

Every morning my daughter wakes up saying "waffles, waffles" she's 2. I put 4 in the cold toaster oven set it on broil...ready in2-3 minutes. When I make the batter I add a tablespoon of honey, maple or agave to the batter...gives the waffles a tiny taste of sweetness. They are then ready for munching...I do not add additional syrup...to messy for a 2 year old. She loves them this way.

One more thing I no longer oil the waffle pan this makes them browner & crispier...yes only one side gets the toasty color the other side is lightly toasted. For presentation I always lay the dark side up. I love this pan!

Original Review:

My baby girl loves these little waffles. I think she was getting bored w/pancakes...I use a gluten-free mix from Whole Foods by 365, their delicious...I love them too. Make sure the pan gets nice & hot (otherwise the batter does not get a nice toasty color to it), I lightly oil each little griddle & they come out perfect. Buy some nice maple syrup & organic butter...Yum. Enjoy.

Got this for my birthday from my mom (it had been in my wish list for while) and I am not disappointed. I have three little boys who love pancakes and I don't have room for a large waffle iron in my kitchen. I tried this out (using the recipe included with the pan) and they were delicious and easy.

My tips for success: butter or oil the pan before you put the mix in and only cook 4-5 at a time (otherwise I had trouble flipping them fast enough--or else I need to turn it down some more!) Sprays don't work as well (same as any other non-stick surface--they leave residue and buildup on the Teflon); oil with a basting brush is better. You use a fork to flip them and it's actually not too hard to flip them back into the little holes.

Bottom line: Great purchase. Fun. Tasty waffles. Worth the money! :)

P.S. Here is the recipe in case you misplaced it. I think that they work best with the recipe that came with it.

Nordic Ware Silver Dollar Waffle Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup flour

½ tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. sugar

¾ tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

1 egg

1 cup buttermilk

1 Tbsp. melted butter

Directions

Preheat pan over medium heat and season with butter or oil. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, sugar, baking powder and salt; set aside. Beat egg until light and fluffy. Add egg, buttermilk and butter to dry mixture; mix until blended. Spoon about 2 Tbsp. butter into each cavity, and cook until pancakes bubble. Turn each pancake over and continue cooking until pancakes are a light golden brown.

I LOVE Nordicware's products and was quite excited when I found this pan marked down at my local giant store. However, don't order this pan thinking that voila! You're going to get up and have a great time making waffles. Not so! This boy takes some serious practice to get them right. The instructions do not say at all if it needs oiled or not and since the finish is nonstick, you cannot spray it with cooking spray or it will peel off. So, my first batch, thinking that it might be the same coating they use for Williams Sonoma, was made without using any nonstick product. Well, I had waffle goo everywhere imaginable and crumbled up waffles. So, I dug it out, cleaned it, and tried again. (The ONLY thing that will clean this too, by the way, is a very soft, non-scratching bottle brush. You just wouldn't believe all the nooks and crannies this guy has!) This time I used butter in the waffle sections before I put in the batter. Guess what? It really works well! They flip out easily and you can actually turn them over without making a messy disaster. The directions indicate that you need to use a plastic fork to flip the waffles and believe me, that's the ONLY thing that works! They really should include that with this product it would definitely make life easier! Recommend, but be sure you use a good waffle recipe and butter in the compartments!

I was skeptical that this could work but ordered the waffle griddle anyway. I love it. The wafflecakes made with the recipe on the pan were delicious, very light and fluffy. I normally don't like waffles because they are often hard and crispy, but these were not. The first time I used the pan I used too much batter and they ran together but if you actually follow the directions and measure 2 Tbsp. in each slot it really, really works. I hightly recommend this griddle for pancake lovers.

Want Nordic Ware Silver Dollar Waffle Griddle Discount?

I was excited about this product and it seemed like such a good idea! I love waffles, but hate the bulk of and inability to easily clean a waffle maker. So this seemed like a perfect compromise. But for me, it just didn't work. I used vegetable oil to grease the pannot non stick spray since it seems to get "gunky" on non-stick surfaces, and then put my batter in. It scorched quite quickly, even though it was only on medium heat, and then they stuck to the pan when I tried to turn them over to cook the other side. Trying to turn them over was a bit awkward, too. I don't know if my experience was different since we have an electric flat-surface range? Perhaps cooking on a gas stove is different? But I was not happy with how it cooked or the ease of use. I guess I'll have to drag out the wafflemaker...

2" Thermometer

This thermometer works well and it can take the high heat generated by a gas BBQ grill. (The Taylor thermometer I bought first broke the first time I used it.) It mounts easily in a 3/8" hole in the lid of the grill. However, after purchasing and using this item from here at Amazon, I discovered it's available elsewhere on the web for one-third their price!

I used a bore and installed this on my Weber kettle grill. It installs easily, looks good and works well.

The temperature readings are very accurate. I use this thermometer for smoking and allows me to keep the lid on to maintain a very consistant temperature. Since it's installed directly on the lid, I don't have it poking through the top vent, restricting my ability to adjust the lid vent.

It's got a short probe so it doesn't interfere with larger pieces of meat either.

I would definitely recommend.

12" Stainless Steel BBQ Kabob Skewers

Europeans (my wife is Russian) only use these permanent type skewers. With a good recipe, this will become a regular tool in your kitchen-indoors or out. We don't bother with the wooden throw away ones or any other material other than stainless since these are permanent and easily washable. Must have for barbacue cooks.

The design is an old standard and I recommend that you buy it in a brick and mortar store if you find it. I had a party coming up in a pinch and couldn't remember which store had these so I bought it on Amazon. Problem is that Amazon doesn't carry these in their warehouse so the secondary retailers always charge a shipping charge which is half the price of the skewer set itself. The rip-off is always the shipping charge from these secondary resellers on Amazon if you're buying inexpensive items, so beware.

Architec Stretch Cooking Band, 2-Inch, Package 20, Assorted Colors

this is a high quality product and it works very well trussing a chicken to put into a rotissere oven and they clean up very well to be reused again so you can always have them handy when you need them would recommend them to others who use a rotissere oven at home last longer than the twine does

I really like these things I lost mine at a BBQ competition so I'm getting more. They're so much easier to use than twine. Just stretch them over your cook and they hold your stuff.

And they really tolerate the heat. I used some on a chicken rotisserie to keep the extremities bound. The bands were 3 inches away from high temp as the bird rotated and looked good as new when done.

Buy these and toss the twine.

Working with kitchen twine to tie off game hens, pork loins, et al is always a bit of a hassle, especially when the meat is marinated. These bands are easy to use and place around food items; much faster than looping and tying twine. Compared to the cooking twine, it's not very cost effective, but if you don't tie off roasts, game birds, etc., very often, you'll want to go with these for ease of use.

I have used these for several years and think they are terrific. Here's a great tip. I will not use any any plastic when cooking or reheating food in the microwave, so I just cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the container I am using, put this handy little band around it to hold the parchment in place, cut a vent in the top with a knife, and cook. This is a wonderful product,making food safer to eat by avoiding the use of plastic.

Villaware V2160 UNO ProPress Panini Grill

I had lusted after this little baby for some time and finally bought it when I found a great deal on it. It makes the most amazing sandwiches, which you can custom-tailor to your tastes. I also used it for a rolled flank steak, stuffed with mushrooms and cut into thick slices. Each slice cooked perfectly at medium heat, although like all steaks, it requires a watchful eye to prevent overcooking.

My experience with vegetables was similarly good. Peppers, onions, eggplant slices all cook in minutes with good result. I have not tried chicken breasts, but from reading the other reviews, imagine that the results will be similar.

One negative: fish can be a tricky business on this grill. I cooked an ahi steak for only a few minutes and it was overdone. I bought a stovetop grill pan specifically for fish after that (well, I confess I do throw a little bacon on it too from time to time).

I am quite satisfied with this panini grill, and love my homemade paninis. I found that a sliced kaiser or hoagie roll works well, as well as thickly sliced Italian or sourdough bread. My favorite sandwich?: thickly sliced bread, olive tapenade, roasted red pepper slices and sliced fontina. Who said heaven isn't right here?

I've had this panini press for 6 months now, and use it at least twice a week. Works extremely well, as advertised. Easy to clean, and stores well, too. It gets verry hot unlike some countertop grills on the market steam the meat. Crispy well marked dinner and lunch entree's. Non-stick coating still shows no indication of wear. This grill looks snazzy too! Makes super panini; the recipes enclosed, (of which I've used 2) are a great guide to the world of hot pressed sandwiches. Next purchase, is a panini and bruschetta cookbook. Overall, very happy with this purchase

Pros:

So Pretty!

Cooks evenly!

Non-stick surface works great!

Especially great for sandwiches because of the flexible hinge.

High quality product!

Cons:

Grooves are deep making it a pain to clean, especially after cooking meats.

Doesn't have a digital tempature gage.

No timer.

Doesn't have removable plates, which would be especially nice.

If I were to do it again, well, I'd probably still be tempted by this grills beauty and quality. But there's a new George Foreman grill that I think I'd rather have now. It has it all, removable plates, digital tempature gage and timer, it just doesn't have the beauty of the Villaware. Although review aren't in on that one yet.

I was a big George Forman fan, but after all the non-stick surface eventually peeled off, I deceided to see if there was another brand on the market with similiar purpose. First the negative, there is NO ON / OFF switch. I guess this isn't the worst because it's probably unsafe to leave a 1400 watt grill plugged in all the time.

I knew this could create great panini sandwiches, but how could it do with meats. I had previously cooked for over a year on the George Forman grill and the hamilton beach steam grill, but would the Villaware compare? I was familiar with Villaware from my Waffle Maker, so I was willing to try the brand again. I cooked two pork chops. I marinated them on the grill with sauce.

I wasn't sure what heat level to use, so I figured about 3/4, but this was to much. I lowered it slightly, cut into them to check the progress. They seemed to cook very fast and even, but also browned with thin lines throughout. They looked picture perfect when completed. Wow, restaurant quality at home from a bachelor. The taste was excellent, it seemed to trap the flavor, unlike the watery results with the competition. What a great grill.

I will say the clean up was very easy with the "plastic tool" that is provided (just don't ever loose it). The plastic cleaning tool with "teeth" seems to be of high quality plastic, unlike the flimsey george forman cheap plastic. Also, the drip tray is stainless steel type metal, what a difference from the cheap plastic tray from GF. In fact my GF cheap plastic trey once melted from touching it with a hot object, no worries with the Villaware.

I might actually buy a cook book for the first time. I feel like I'll be able to impress friends with this grill. Did I also mention that it opens up to 3" when cooking and automatically forms a parallel cooking surface of the top and bottom.

I would have given it a higher rating if they had an on/off switch and a timer. Maybe they'll put these features on a future version.

Enjoy...

This has got to be the best grill out! I just about bought a Foreman grill, until I happened across this grill in a store. I quickly rushed home to see how it was reviewed on Amazon, and to check Amazon's price.

I used to work at a store that had a deli that made Paninis, and ate them all the time. Love em, love em, love em!

I've had it for 2 months, and still use it 3-4 times a week.

Once you buy this, you will never eat another "regular" sandwhich again!

It's easy! All you do is make your favorite sandwhich while the maker is heating up, spray with a little bit of olive oil (or whatever oil you like), and put your sandwhich in the grill, pushing down on the sandwhich every once in a while to create that melding of the flavors I love so..... mmmmm...

Oh, and what sandwhich isn't made better by bacon!?! It literally takes less than a minute for bacon to cook (just make sure you've got your drip tray in place), and it comes out perfectly flat and ready to put on your sandwhich.

Plus! Look how much cheaper it is to eat sandwhiches made at home, rather than those you buy at McRonald's or BurgerStink. Now, not only is it cheaper, but it tastes soooo much better!!!

Words of advise:

*Make sure temperature selector is at highest setting for the best paninis.

*Wait until after you've grilled your sandwhich before adding stuff like tomatoes, lettuce, or other stuff you don't want to get soggythey will be heated, too (although, I happen to like the way the lettuce tastes after it's been cooked with the sandwhich).

*Oh-my-gosh, these sandwhiches taste sooo much better with thinly sliced RED onions, red wine vinegar, deli style mustard, and the new fancy smancy mayonases (such as the chipolte or sun dried tomato).

*Use a good bread. I like to get a nice loaf of Italian and slice it on a bias, so as to get a longer sandwhich. The bread will smush down, so I like to cut the slices a little thicker, also. Plus, if you use a crusty bread, it just adds that "little extra" to it.

Well, what are you waiting for!?! You'd be a fool not to get a panini maker! LOL! I almost slapped down a wad of cash (20-30 more than this one, bought at Amazon) on one of the Foremans, but this does all they can do, plus makes THE BEST sandwhiches! We used to eat at the fast food places all the time, but we haven't been to one since we bought this! Even scrubway!! 6 grams of fat?? I can do better than that with tons more flavor!

I haven't seen a better price than on Amazon, either.

All-Clad LTD 11-Inch Square Nonstick Griddle

I am not a big fan of the All Clad LTD line but I do love this pan. I much prefer the All Clad polished stainless steel line (I have almost every piece and love it) but at time I was making this purchase I didn't know they made a stainless griddle and I also wanted the nonstick surface, I am pretty sure the stainless griddle is not nonstick. This griddle is a perfect size for pancakes. I debated on the grande size, I decided that since I don't make pancakes everyday it didn't make sense to spend the extra money and deal with storing the larger size. Also, I prefer smaller pancakes and this size is a better price and much easier to store. It is a great size for 4 small/medium-sized pancakes. I imagine it would also be more challenging to keep up with more than 4 at a time, particularly of you are making eggs at the same time.

This pan is not dishwasher safe due to the nonstick surface, but don't worry it is a breeze to clean. This pan is very, very well made and is backed by a lifetime warranty. Sometimes this pan is sold {at a special price} if you see it grab it. It is a steal at that price. Once you try All Clad you will be hooked too! Highly recommended! A+!

Part of the cachet for me in purchasing an All-Clad product was that their factory is less than 50 miles from my home. I always try to support American MANUFACTURERS, and was quite shocked to find this particular piece labeled "Made in China for All-Clad."

Damn. You can't trust anybody. But as for the product---

It is a solid performer. The non-stick surface is very effective, and remember to follow the directions and cook on a lower heat than you normally would. The thick aluminum transmits heat well, and also holds the heat, so when your item is done, get it off the pan.

I have had this pan for two years. I have probably used it more than 100 times, usually to make pancakes or french toast. It does a very good job, better than the Calphalon griddle that I had before. I downgrade it because it scratches too easily -and I have made an effort from day one to take very good care of it, using only nylon spatulas, promptly washing it gently by hand, and storing it so it won't be scratched by other pans. Still, after all that care, it has become scratched. So my verdict is that the griddle does a good job but it requires a lot of TLC.

I love this pan! I have the All-Clad stainless line, and bought this pan when my youngest daughter started to like grilled cheese sandwiches. You just can't cook more than one sandwich at a time in a regular fry pan. This pan has plenty of space to cook 4 sandwiches at a time, or 4 pieces of french toast, or 4 eggs... the list goes on and on.

My dad came to visit, and was coerced into making pancakes. He had always used a square electric griddle at home, but he gave my griddle pan a try. He liked it so much I gave him one for Christmas! Once again, plenty of space to cook 4 pancakes at a time.

The non-stick coating is durable, the food slips right off, and it is easy to wash. That is important, because this pan can't go into the dishwasher. It is also rather heavy, but since I just set it on the burner and cook, that isn't an issue either.

Bottom line is that both my father and I are very happy to make room in our kitchens for this pan.

Want All-Clad LTD 11-Inch Square Nonstick Griddle Discount?

Not a great griddle. The finish requires alot of maintance to keep it non-stick. Have to clean it with baking soda after each few uses. I've had it about a year & it is so warped that it's un-usable. I called All Clad because it it supposed to have a warranty but they require you send it to them & they have to check it out & approved it & possibly in a few months they would do something but they said more than likely it was user error from using it on too high of heat. So in short, I'm out of luck. So don't waste your money on a cheaply made product. Spend a little more & get a good product.
