Works OK on the induction cook top (the only one of its type that I could find) however heat is not even across the pan - outside of the induction circle the heat is noticeably less, and as we cook pancakes on it they are not cooked evenly. Still need to cook on/very near the circle. Glad I didn't go for the larger size.

Kuuma 83727 Profile Portable Outdoor Gas Grill Review

Kuuma 83727 Profile Portable Outdoor Gas Grill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My husband and I love this grill. This is actually a marine BBQ and meant for boats but we got it because we live in a small city apartment and it's perfect for our balcony and is landlord approved.
The construction is actually very solid, the grill is made from stainless steel which is not only an attractive feature, but easy to maintain as well. It is very easy to take the grill apart to clean the parts. The previous reviewer commented on not being able to attach a gas canister sideways, but I don't know why you would need to do that or even want to. From my knowledge gas canisters are dangerous and only to be used properly, connecting it sideways would make me think it would leak and be dangerous. We actually bought a mount for ours and use that to support it, it's a black base type thing. Again, attractive in looks and doesn't take up much space on our already tiny balcony. The whole design is a very modern, streamlined design which fits into our decor, may seem silly to the average griller but trust me, it matters to their wives. Its nicer than having a huge half ton grill that takes up way too much space and is impossible to clean.
As far as performance, the grill is amazing. We grill on it literally EVERY night. We have two children under the age of two so fast, easy, healthy dinners are mandatory for us. Every night we grill fish, chicken, veggies, the best part of this grill is how fast it heats up. Dinner can be done very quickly, which helps out tremendously. The grill has lasted amazingly through our numerous uses. Again I believe it's a marine grill and probably meant to be used for those romantic nights out on the boat and not as a dinner staple as we use it-but it works for us. We could probably get rid of our stove, but not our grill.
It's a great product, numerous uses, and lasts through continual use. The only reason I gave it four stars and not five is because now I see the company has an electric version and I would rather have that one so I never have to worry about buying gas canisters but can just plug it in.

Emeril Stainless Steel 5-Quart Soup Pot with Pour Spouts and Lid Review

Emeril Stainless Steel 5-Quart Soup Pot with Pour Spouts and Lid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I think it is important to always start off with something positive, so...
I purchased a 14 piece Emeril Stainless set in 2008, and I have been very happy with it. The fit, finish and especially the base design were all up to the demands of my GE Profile ceramic cooktop, which had mercilessly warped all pans that came before the Emeril set.
I recently purchased this 5 Qt soup pot. When it arrived, I was disappointed to see that a number of changes have been made in the product. So many changes, in fact, that the new pot is not a match for my existing set. The handle, lid and base design have all been modified, and in each case, the appearance, heft and quality have been reduced. The fit of the lid is also poorer. Most alarming is the changes in the base. The core material used here is not copper. The weight and thickness of the base has been reduced significantly (30-40%). There is a large dimple in the base now, reducing the surface contact. (Take note, those with ceramic or high output cooktops) There is no getting around the fact that mass of the base matters. It affects the distribution of heat in the pan, and how resilient the pan will be to abuse.
I guess its partly my fault for assuming that a product sold by the same brand and line (Emeril Stainless) would be the same product. This is not. I will be returning the pot to Emeril, or Martha, or whoever. Oh well it was nice while it lasted.

The Roti models are not made with a three-ply construction with an aluminum core and magnetic stainless exterior. The Roti models are made in China (not America like the rest of the All Clad pots and pans) out of a non-magnetized stainless steel. They're not designed for use on induction or conventional stove tops (a common step in the preparation of gravy).
A curiousity: The All Clad Web site doesn't appear to list the Roti models. I couldn't find it under any category. This model is an orphan.

A must-have when cooking that annual turkey for friends and family, this stainless-steel roasting pan provides the rugged durability and convenient features that help make it a successful event. It includes a nonstick cooking rack that suspends the meat above excess grease and helps ensure effortless food release, plus offers stainless-steel forks for lifting and transporting poultry. Measuring 13 by 16 by 3 inches, the rectangular pan includes a wide flat base, rounded corners, and tall sides that keep contents neatly contained.
The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Its three-ply bonded design features a thick aluminum core sandwiched between an inside layer of 18/10 stainless steel and an outside layer of stainless steel, which work together to ensure fast heat-up times and even heat distribution along the base and up the sides. In addition, the cookware's 18/10 stainless-steel interior won't react with food, which means tomato-based sauces and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. For use conventional gas or electric stovetops, including glass and ceramic. The cookware's solid stainless-steel loop side handles stay cool to the touch and come riveted for safety and long-lasting strength. The versatile cookware can go safely in the oven up to 500 degrees F, and it cleans up easily by hand (recommended) or in the dishwasher. Made in the USA, the cookware carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Moroccan Tagines Review

Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Moroccan Tagines
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In the Le Creuset fashion, this tagine is beautifully and authentically styled. Although original tagines were made of clay, this cast model cooks beautifully and can be used on stove top or in the oven. The unusual funnel shape helps to maintain moisture in the food, and blends the flavors into mouthwateriing dishes. I love the quality of Le Creuset and am very happy to add this tagine to my collection.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Le Creuset Enameled Cast Iron Moroccan Tagines

Inspired by the slowly simmered, heavily seasoned cuisines indigenous to North Africa, this 2-quart Moroccan Tagine by Le Creuset is a classic example of form following function. Its distinctive cone-shaped lid promotes natural steam circulation and allows for the constant return of condensation to the base, moistening ingredients and tenderizing tough fibers within cuts of meat. And because it's crafted from durable cast iron, the Moroccan Tagine retains heat longer and cooks food more evenly and thoroughly. Traditional Moroccan tagines (the dish is named for the cookware) typically include a combination of braised meat (often lamb, beef or chicken), fruits, root vegetables, nuts, and fragrant spices like cinnamon, saffron, and ginger. Measuring 12-4/5 by 12-4/5 by 11-2/5 inches, the Moroccan Tagine makes a thoughtful gift idea or a unique addition to any cook's collection.
As part of Le Creuset's line of enameled cast iron, the cookware's low-profile, high-heat, cast-iron base distributes heat evenly and provides superior heat retention--great for stovetop cooking, as well as for browning vegetables or meat before steaming. The Moroccan Tagine's colorful stoneware lid forms an excellent seal to keep moisture and heat inside, while its conical shape also helps moisture circulate throughout so there's no need to open, stir, or turn the tagine, making food preparation a snap. The cookware can be used on any stovetop surface, including induction, and be safely used in the oven (up to 500 degrees F) or under the grill/broiler for exceptional versatility. Beautiful enough for the table yet durable enough to outlive its lifetime limited warranty, the cookware should be hand washed for best results.

Emile Henry Flame Top Round Oven Review

Emile Henry Flame Top Round Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had put off buying a dutch oven for quite some time, just because they are always SO heavy and SO expensive (the good ones, anyway).
I was at Sur la Table looking at dutch ovens when I lifted the lid off a Emile Henry Flame Top and very nearly threw the lid backwards over my shoulder because I expected it to be about twice as heavy as it actually was. I was dubious; a ceramic dutch oven? It was on sale so I bought it, thinking that I could return it if I didn't like it.
I don't like it. I LOVE it. So far everything has cooked absolutely perfectly in it. The ceramic retains and radiates heat better then metal, excellently searing pot roasts and then simmering evenly on the very lowest gas heat setting. If my Flame Top went missing today I'd buy another one without hesitation. This is 100% heirloom cookware: it's going to be in your family, being used, for a long time.
To address the complaint that the Flame Top retains odors, all I can say is that I never had this problem, but with two caveats. The first is that the reviewer didn't state if she seasoned her Flame Top as recommended by the manufacturer (instructions are both in the box and on the website). The ceramic glaze needs to be "set" by simmering either milk or water with dry rice in it before it's first real use. If this step is skipped and the pot is instead seasoned with tomato sauce, then I imagine there would be a problem. The second issue is that of tomato sauce in general. Highly acidic foods cooked in any lightly porous cookware are going to leave an odor behind, at least for a little while, that's why tomato-based sauces should always be cooked in steel. Like I said, I've cooked a range of stinky, odorous foods in my Henry pot and it doesn't smell at all.

Emile Henry Flame Top cookware, a technological innovation. An innovation in ceramics technology, Emile Henry's new line of Burgundy Clay Flame-Top ceramics products work directly on a gas flame or an electric or halogen hob without a diffuser, without any fear of cracking or breaking.Much lighter, (30%), than many types of comparable metal cookware products, Flame-Top is microwave and dishwasher-safe, cleans up very easily, is extremely strong and durable, goes under the broiler, and can go directly from a freezer or a refrigerator to a hot oven to the table, where it will retain the cooking heat for a very long time. This recent innovation from Emile Henry is a break-through in ceramics technology. Unlike most metal cookware products, Flame-Top cookware can sit on a very hot open flame for an extended period of time without any ingredients in the cook pot, and they will not crack, discolor or break. Perfect for braising, browning and slow cooking due to the incredibly gentle heat distribution properties of Burgundy Clay, Flame-Top products cook evenly and thoroughly when used on top of the stove, in the oven or even in the microwave.Enhancing this gentle cooking action are raised dots on the underneath side of each lid that evenly distribute evaporated juices directly back into the cooking food.This self-basting technique produces a more thoroughly cooked, tender and moist dish than with traditional lids, which force liquids to run down the sides of the pot, and which contribute to uneven cooking. Emile Henry Flame-Top ceramic cookware is light and versatile, and better brings out the flavors of all cooked foods.

I bought this at Target, and it does everything you'd expect -- silicone is easy to clean, won't rust like some mesh screens, won't get dents and can store vertically or horizontally in your cupboard or drawer.

I paid $15 for this, so I was surprised to see it listed at $25+ from another seller on Amazon. I'm not sure any screen is worth that much, but this is a very good model you can find for nearly half the price.

Capresso H2O Pro Programmable Cordless 56-Ounce Water Kettle with Variable Temperature Control Review

Capresso H2O Pro Programmable Cordless 56-Ounce Water Kettle with Variable Temperature Control
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After seeing warnings against another variable temperature kettle (branded by a major tea vendor) that's totally hit-or-miss by 20 degrees, I was cautiously hopeful that Capresso's H2O Pro would avoid that problem.
When this kettle arrived, I decided to play the skeptic and put to test it. Would it really hit 140F on the dot? Just a little above/below? A lot?
After a short brew time, *two* other thermometers (one analog, one digital) agreed with the kettle: 140.0F on the dot!
This is one excellently designed variable-temperature kettle! This kettle has now brought about more casual tea drinking. No more do I have to watch a stove or electric kettle like a hawk and stop it at the right temperature!
Temperatures are programmable in 10F increments from 110F (warm on the wrist) to 212F (boiling). I like to make tea with 140F (a bit over scalding) as I use plenty of Japanese green tea that is temperature-sensitive. And I love how it can also be programmed to keep the same temperature continuously (or not, as you please).
I only have 2 snags with this kettle:
- At the temperatures I like, increments in 5, 2 or 1 degree make better sense than 10 degree increments.
- When taking the kettle off its base, it resets its temperature defaults to 212 (boiling). I'd prefer that it automatically kept my preferences while I'm pouring the occasional cup throughout the day. But that's just me. Turning it to the preferred temp again is just a few thumb-wiggles away (which makes the 10-degree increments a balance of convenience).
Since no other variable-temp kettle I can find on the market is better than this one, these are just would-likes and don't detract from what I feel is a kettle at the head of its market.
5 Stars.

Attractively housed in stainless steel with a polished chrome finish, this electric hot-water kettle makes a striking presence on any kitchen counter or buffet. Use it to quickly bring 16 to 56 ounces of water to a rolling boil for making anything from tea, instant coffee, and hot cocoa to oatmeal, instant soup, noodles, and more. The kettle lifts off its 360-degree swivel base for easy filling at the sink or for graceful serving without the hassle of a power cord; it can also be returned to its power source from any direction--great for right- and left-handed users. Integrated into its generous stay-cool handle, the unit provides an illuminated digital display and simple push-button controls for choosing from a variety of programmable settings, including 11 temperature-control settings (from 110 to 212 degrees F), various keep-warm settings (from 110 to 190 degrees F), and extended boil settings (from 3 to 20 seconds). For safety, the kettle shuts itself off automatically once the water has reached a boil (or after the elapsed extended boil time) or if water needs to be added, which prevents it from boiling dry. Other highlights include a water-level window with min/max markings, a simple lid with push-button release, a micro-filter spout that keeps particles out of the cup, and cord storage when not in use. The cordless electric kettle measures 9 by 6 by 9-1/2 inches.

Char-Broil M580 SS Quantum 4-Burner Infrared Gas Grill, Stainless Steel Review

Char-Broil M580 SS Quantum 4-Burner Infrared Gas Grill, Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Infrared cooking is different than the cast-iron open-flame and aluminum charcoal grills I grew up with. Some adaptation of timing and techniques is required, but once you get the feel for it, you can get awesome results. Infrared heat is both more searing and less dehydrating. That might seem like a contradiction, but it isn't. The temps get higher, but without as much convection, so you get more browning and crusting and less hair-dryer desiccation of your food. Less drying also makes it better suited for slow roast BBQ than open flame. After a little practice, I'm getting exactly what I wanted in terms of results.
The build on this grill is solid, with the possible exception of the tiny hinges on the sideburner lid. I can live with that.

I placed the order for my stove on Friday 3rd and recieved my stove one week later on Friday 10th.
The only thing I did not know at the time of placing my order was that the items/stove was not to be delivered into my home. The driver told me it was to be delivered to the curb of my house out front. I told him that was not acceptable and he must bring it up my five(5) steps into my kitchen and he did with the help of my son-in-law. So be aware of that when ordering from AJ Madison.

This earthenware vessel is used to make "nabemono" in Japan, a warming one-pot meal popular during the winter. Traditionally, a portable stove is placed in the center of table, and the pot is filled with broth and ingredients. There are many different variations of nabemono. Broths can be as simple as water flavored with a little bit of dried kelp, to stronger tastes made chicken or miso. Ingredients often include seafood, poultry, pork, vegetables, tofu, and udon. Nabemono is meant to be eaten as a communal meal, where diners gather around the table and pick items directly from the pot.

It's a little smaller than I expected it to be for the price, but it's a very lovely teapot. The basket it came with is well made, and both the scoop and trivet are also a pretty wood (bamboo, I think) and well made. The spout of the teapot is hard to clean without some sort of tool or pipe cleaner. It's a little too small to get a sponge in there, so I've already got a bit of leftover tea buildup just inside the spout. I use this teapot every day at work, and it's held up well. My only complaint besides the hard to clean part is that it's not insulated, so the tea gets cold relatively quickly. This is a wonderful teapot for about 3 full cups of tea, and it shows off blooming tea very well.
