Pyrex Bakeware 4.8 Quart Oblong Baking Dish, Clear Review

Pyrex Bakeware 4.8 Quart Oblong Baking Dish, Clear
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My new (6 month old) pyrex broke violently shortly after it was taken out of the oven and set on the oven to cool. None of the stove top burners were on or had been on for hours, and ut was NOT on a burner which vents heat from the oven. All the dish contained was bread pudding, and it certainly hadn't been roasting under the broiler. The glass shards were numerous, large, sharp, very hot, and flew everywhere, with an enormously loud breaking sound, so whether or not you want to call that an explosion, I'm very glad I wasn't in the room. I've been cooking with pyrex my whole life and never had a problem with it before, so I'm loth to give it a bad review, but it was a pretty scary experience.

Lodge Logic L14SK3 Pre-Seasoned 15 Inch Cast-Iron Skillet Review

Lodge Logic L14SK3 Pre-Seasoned 15 Inch Cast-Iron Skillet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've decided to replace my teflon pans with cast iron and this is one of the first ones I bought. So far it has been excellent. The large size is fantastic, though it's definitely heavy. My arm muscles are getting a workout! I'm glad I got it pre-seasoned, since that was one less thing to hassle with. I have found that cooking with cast iron makes food taste better. Kind of surprsing. I'm not sure why this has been the case, but my husband and I have both noticed it. I have to say though, it is very different than cooking with a regular teflon pan. At first I kept burning everything. Cast iron gets very hot and maintains a steady hot temperature. I'm finding that I'm basically cooking everything in this pan on med-low heat, where I would have used medium heat. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase though and plan on getting a couple more cast iron pans

Lodge cast-iron cookware has long been admired for its superior heat retention and even heat distribution, but now the company adds another enticement with its Lodge Logic line. All Lodge Logic cookware, including this generously sized 15-1/4-inch skillet, comes preseasoned via a proprietary "electrostatic" vegetable oil spray system and is ready for cooking right out of the box--unlike traditional Lodge cookware, which needs seasoning in your home oven before use. During the timesaving preseasoning process, oil penetrates deeply into the cast-iron surface while a high-temperature gas oven seals it in, preserving the cookware for generations and creating an attractive heirloom finish.
The skillet measures 15-1/4 inches in diameter and 2-1/4 inches deep--an ideal size for large tasks such as cooking a stack of pancakes or making a family portion of scrambled eggs. The vessel is also suited for roasting vegetables, searing steaks, or making quesadillas, as its cast-iron material delivers a smooth, consistent temperature without wasting heat. The pan's esteemed heat retention particularly enhances slow-cooking recipes that call for tender meats and rich, seasoned flavors. Chefs will also appreciate the durable handle with a loop on the end for hanging, along with the opposite helper handle that aids in transport--a necessity when cooking with heavy cast iron. And finally, the skillet includes a couple of side indentations that facilitate smoother pouring. Lodge recommends hand washing the pan with a stiff brush and hot water for best results. The skillet also comes with a lifetime warranty.

Simply Calphalon Nonstick Double Grill Pan Review

Simply Calphalon Nonstick Double Grill Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Many of the double-burner griddles are not able to be used on a flat top stove. This one, however, is perfectly flat on the bottom and works great on mine! I have had it for a few months and use it all the time. We have 5 kids, and it is perfect for making lots of french toast, pancakes, hash browns, grilled cheese, etc. at a time. Also works great for making stir fry because it keeps such a large area hot, you can just keep stirring things around to hot areas. It is also heavyweight and seems like it will last a very long time. Cleans up well and the nonstick is great, too.
*note* I have the pan that does not have the grill bars across the cooking surface,so the top is totally flat as well as the bottom.

All-Clad Nonstick Double Grill & Griddle Review

All-Clad Nonstick Double Grill and Griddle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have tried several stove top grills, so I feel qualified to comment on this one. First I bought the non-stick aluminum Nordicware grill, which worked ok till the non-stick peeled. Next I tried the LeCreuset, which was sooooo heavy, hard to clean, and began to develop rust spots. Next was the Lodge Logic, which was similar to the LeCreuset, but cheaper. (Too heavy and hard to clean.) Finally, I purchased this All-Clad Grande Grille Pan, which is the largest of the lot. It cooks evenly over two burners on my gas stove and cleans up easily with a little soaking. So far, this grill out performs any of the others and I am finally HAPPY with my purchase! (If you are a Foodie, you may notice Giada DeLaurentis using this same grill on "Everyday Italian".) If you are in the market for a quality stove-top grill, this one won't disappoint you.

Why stop grilling just because summer's over? You can enjoy the intense flavor and low-fat benefits of grilling all year with this great double burner grill pan. How about some lamb burgers with grilled red peppers and feta cheese?

All-Clad LTD Nonstick Grande Griddle Review

All-Clad LTD Nonstick Grande Griddle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really like this griddle and would have given it 5 stars but for a detail.
Pros:
I use this griddle on an electric coil stove, on one large and one small burner. It heats very evenly even with the small burner, is heavy enough not to slide around while cooking, is light enough to move easily (vs. cast iron), and the non-stick surface make cleaning a breeze. It also has a grease gutter on the perimeter that can hold the griddle in place on the burner. The handles are vertical and grip extends slightly inward so it does not bang on the rear of the stove. It doesn't interfere with cooking as I thought it might.
Cons:
However, the grease gutter is about 1 inch all around that subtracts from the cooking surface, making the cooking area more like 11x18 instead of the listed 13x20. The transition from the cooking surface to the gutter is rounded so pancake batter poured near the edge can run into the gutter. It would have been better if the gutter was narrower and the edge was more square, but other non-cast iron models are designed similarly.
A good-quality product that I would buy again.

This griddle rests across two burners to give you maximum cooking surface. Brunch this weekend? Consider fried eggs, pancakes, Canadian bacon, and more. Non-stick means no fuss clean up.

Joyce Chen 2 Quart Ceramic Tea Kettle with Bamboo Handle, Ebony Review

Joyce Chen 2 Quart Ceramic Tea Kettle with Bamboo Handle, Ebony
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a beautiful little pot. Unfortunately, it has many problems which makes it function poorly. The cover threatens to come off when you pour, and leaks burning steam. Also, the pour spout is very narrow making the pouring process excruciatingly slow. To top it all off, it the spout drips as it pours. I love the way this pot looks, and will keep it for special occasions, but when I want to boil a lot of water and pour it out fast, I'll have to get another pot:(
