All-Clad Stainless Petite Roti Pan with Roasting Rack Review

All-Clad Stainless Petite Roti Pan with Roasting Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I can't really "review" this pan since I returned it unused, but I have the "same" All-Clad Petit Roti Pan from just a couple of years ago, and this one is now substantially different. My old one had a flat bottom, great for making gravy after you finished your roast. This new one has a ridge around the bottom, where the juices will drip off into these sides. Very difficult to make a gravy when that happens. This is just my opinion as a cook, I really can't comment otherwise on the product, but this change alone was enough for me to send the pan back.

It's kind of like buying your first sofa; purchasing a real roasting pan (tin foil ones from the grocery store don't count) is a marker for adulthood. Don't trust those special occasions and holiday gatherings to inferior cookware. After all you're not just making good food, you're making memories. This superbly crafted roaster comes with a non-stick roasting rack. Now all you need is the bird or roast!

Chef's Choice 675 International Cordless Electric Hot Pot Review

Chef's Choice 675 International Cordless Electric Hot Pot

(More customer reviews)
I just recieved this kettle to replace a rival hotpot. The Rival lacked an on-off switch. It also gave off some strange tastes and some say stainless is better than plastic that way.
I reheat coffee and heat canned goods in the hotpot as it's easier for me than the range and the wide opening on this hotpot allows one to clean it easily though the lid won't lift as far as you'd like.
On recieving this kettle my first thought was the base was of light gauge plastic - seemed a little cheap. But I suppose that's ok if it turns out to be durable. Next I was amazed that the stainless vessel was of lighter gauge than I expected. This is probably all good though. Some reviewers of the other stainless kettles remark that they are heavy and get 'dangerously' hot. This one is actually reasonably light to maneuver. And if I boil 2 cups of water - turning it off myself which is before the automatic shut off - the stainless is just warm at the top; not really hot. If it doesn't wear out this is fine for my needs. Also - it looks like the picture. I give it one star for the appearance of the polished stainless, but that is subjective. Have to admit though, it cleans good.
3 year later: Still works fine and I've fired it up every day 3-5 times. V Fine.

Lodge Logic L10SK3 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet Review

Lodge Logic L10SK3 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet
Average Reviews:

I own several Lodge cast iron products and use them everyday. I have 3 teeneage boys that enjoy cooking, and after they destroyed a few teflon coated pans, I decided I would go heavy into cast iron. These pans are indestructible. You can use them in the oven or stovetop, and if you keep it seasoned properly food will not stick. Also, to avoid sticking problems, you may want to remember to allow the pan to get hot before applying oil or food.
As to seasoning, the Logic line now comes preseasoned. But don't make a big deal about this. To season a cast iron skillet simply coat it lightly with oil and bake it for a half hour or so. I have also seasoned these skillets on the stovetop. Cast iron is also great because it does not easily scrap like stainless steel and aluminum pots. Aluminum pans are painful to me, as my teeth fillings react to the aluminum. With cast iron, you won't have this problem. I also take my Lodge pan camping and set it right over the coals to cook. No melted handles or scorched bottoms to mess with.

Seasoned, ready to use. This 12 inch skillet is a kitchen's most essential item.The even heating of cast iron is necessary for golden, tender, perfectly pan-fried chicken.What other cookware can rival the heat retention, versatility, value and durability of cast iron.

Mastercool MSC52224A Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer with Laser Review

I LOVE this product where I use it to figure out how much energy my home is losing through its various walls, floors, ceilings, and windows. First I point-and-click to measure the temperature of an article *inside* the room to find out the average room temperature. Then I point-and-click on the various room walls, windows, floors, ceiling etc, to see which one is coldest compared to the average room temperature. The surface which is coldest is the one I need to focus on to increase the insulation value. By doing this I have been able to reduce my home heating costs by a third, saving hundreds of dollars every year!
