Zojirushi EP-EVC25 Electric Gourmet d' Expert Electric Skillet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my third Electric Skillet. I work 100 miles from home and live in a trailer during the week (the commute is terrible around here, but I can't afford another or even a different house). My propane Stove went out a couples years ago now and I started using my BBQ, A toaster over and/or an electric skillet instead. My first skillet was "Silver stone" coated. First time I burnt something in it was the last. I then bought a Stainless Steel pan but didn't like the temperature control and it can be hard to clean. This Zojirushi pan not only can be used to higher temperatures (460F instead of the usual 400F), it's a dream to clean and the temperature control is great. I've already burnt something (on Purpose) Blackened peppercorn Rib Eye. Great!!! (anyone got a good air purifier, next time I'll do it on the porch, another advantage, its portable) But nothing sticks to it, don't even need oil or butter. I like it so much I've ordered the larger Sizzler and started using it too. It's got a larger surface and the sides aren't as deep so it's easier to get a spatula into. Also it goes to 480F (call the Fire Department, yee hah). The design is different, but it's a great pan too.

Cast Iron Heat Diffuser with Handle by Ilsa 8.25 Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a useful flame tamer for a gas stove (I don't have electric). We use it to disperse heat evenly and warm up foods in ceramic casserole dishes. Using the stove-top instead of the oven frees up much needed room in the oven. Comes with a handy detachable metal lift that should not be attached when the flame is on - only to revome the reducer after the flame has been turned off.

Toastess MSC-569 Multipot Stainless-Steel 5-Quart Digital Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, for anyone wondering how this slow cooker (MSC-569) is different from the MSC-570 model, the only differences are the handles and lid; they are otherwise identical. That info is straight from the manufacturer (I asked).
Second, there's already a great review on this product (the MSC-570 verson), which I recommend anyone interested read. It can be found here:
Toastess Msc-570 Dgtl Slow Cooker 4qtAs for my own review, I've found this to be a fantastic model. What I like about it, as stated in the above linked review, is that it has a lower wattage heating element than models from other companies. The element is also constant output, rather than the variable output found in almost every other slow cooker on the market. This results in a much more even heating, and makes burning something you'll probably never need to worry about (assuming proper usage, of course).
The main concern I had before buying this unit was that the food would heat too slowly and potentially cause food-safety issues. I admit, the food does seem to heat rather slowly at first, but I've used this slow cooker on all sorts of meats, always on the low setting, and I've never had a problem. Just keep the lid closed and don't put anything frozen in there.
Also, something to note for slow cookers in general, "programmable" does NOT mean "delayed-start." A lot of people want a slow cooker that they can program to start cooking later, rather than right then. Manufacturers do not add this feature for safety reasons, as it's not really a good idea to put raw meat in a pot and tell the machine to let it sit at room temperature for several hours before cooking. They'd have lawsuits left and right from people leaving raw food in there for a day and making themselves sick.
Anyway, I'm really happy with my Toastess, and I would definitely recommend it to others.

Shabu Shabu Pot Sukiyaki Nabe 8.5in #821-21 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Listing page describes this as a Japanese nabe pot, but it is made in China. It is enameled, which the listing does not say. There is no guarantee that this product isn't going to poison you. When contacted, seller said that I would have to pay shipping and there will be a 20% "restocking fee"...what BS. These pots are not cheap, and there's no reason that they need to be made in China.

Dimension: 8-1/2in Dia x 3-3/8in H * Enameled Inner Surface for Easy Cleaning * Serving 2-3 people * 1 Wooden Lid & 1 Wooden Base are Included * * Nabemono (nabe cooking pot + mono things, stuffs, kinds) or simply called Nabe, is a term referring to all varieties of Japanese steamboat dishes, also known as one pot dishes. The pots are traditionally made of clay ( donabe) which can keep warm for a while after taken off from the fire or cast thick iron ( tetsunabe) which evenly distribute heat and preferably used for sukiyaki. The pots are usually placed in the center of dinning tables, shared by multiple persons. Most nabemono are stews and soups served during the colder seasons. In modern Japan, nabemono are kept hot at the dining table by portable stoves. The dish is frequently cooked at the table, and the diners can pick the cooked ingredients they want from the pot. It is either eaten with the broth or with a dip. Further ingredients can also be successively added to the pot. Eating together from a shared pot is considered as an important feature of nabemono; East Asian people believe that eating from one pot makes a closer relationship. The Japanese thus say, Nabe (w)o kakomu (sitting around the pot), implying that sharing nabemono will create warm relations between the diners who eat together from the shared pot.

BDY Slow Cooker Mate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Electric steamers have had divided inserts for years, so that you can cook multiple dishes at the same time. When I saw the Slow Cooker Mate, my first thought was "Why hasn't someone done that with a slow cooker before?"
It's a great idea. You can cook a main dish in the large insert, and one or two side dishes in the small insert. The operation of the cooker is pretty straightforward... slow cookers are about the simplest appliance in the kitchen, so there's not much to say there. It has all the basic features. The maximum cooking time is a very respectable 18 hours.
The large insert is 6 quarts, the small insert has two one-quart sections. Of course, you can't fill the inserts up to the top, so the usable capacity of the large insert is 4.5 - 5 quarts, and 3 cups for the small insert sections.
One surprise I got is that the small insert is quite deep, and takes a lot of capacity from the large insert. The instruction book says to only fill the large insert half way (3 quarts) when using the small insert. That's still plenty of capacity if you're making two side dishes.
The instruction book includes several menus for a main dish and two side dishes, which is enough to give you an idea of how to make your own menus.
I'm very happy with the Slow Cooker Mate. It's a product that was long overdue.

Joyce Chen J90-0704 6-Quart Stoneware Chinese Cooking Pot, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great all-purpose pot to have for baking beans, obviously, but also for slow oven baked dishes like ragouts, choucroute garnis, cassoulets and is the classic vessel for nabes, those layered one-pot Japanese meals. It makes a great soup tureen as it holds heat very well and an wonderful off-beat use for it is as a leprechaun's pot to hold the peanut butter-filled butterscotch-coated Ritz cracker cookie "gold coins" that I make for St. Patrick's Day.

West Bend 84716 Versatility 6-Quart Oval Slo-Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What I love about this product:
- Cooking times are accurate. If a recipe specifies 8 hours to cook a pot roast, that's how long it will take. I've never owned a slo-cooker that came close to this degree of accuracy, and I've owned many over the years!
- Ridiculously easy to clean (non-stick).
- The removeable cooking pot is very light-weight, and can be used in the oven, on the stove, or in the refrigerator, hence the term "versatility".
- 6 quart capacity and oval design accomodates most recipes and cuts of meat...it is ideal for me.
- I've cooked 15-20 meals of all types with this cooker and have NEVER had a problem with the results.
Why I could not give this product 5 stars:
- It does not have an on/off indicator (light), nor does it have an "off" setting - once you plug it in, it goes into a "warm" mode, even though the heat switch is turned all the way to the left.
- Speaking of switches, the one on this model appears (to me) to be a bit flimsy with no positive feedback as to whether it is on high or low or somewhere in between. No big deal, and for all I know it might last through a nuclear war, but if it ever breaks, the appliance will probably be rendered useless.
All in all, based on ease of cleaning, light-weight design, and of course consistency of results, this is the best slo-cooker I've ever owned and would, despite its price, strongly recommend this appliance to any and all interested in purchasing a slo-cooker.

West Bend 84966 Versatility Oval-Shaped 6-Quart Programmable Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my fourth one of this style of a West Bend slow cooker in 20 or so years. I started with a four quart model. I wore it out after about 6 years of using it at least 4 or 5 times a week all year (I was a working mother then). I bought a second four quart, and passed it on three years ago to my son when he got married. I still have the six quart I purchased as a replacement (I have hidden it from my son so I can have a spare if I need it). I love this new electronic model best of all. I love being able to set the timer and know it will switch to warm when done. The older models did not do that. The digital age has arrived for my FAVORITE slow cooker of all time!! I have given away the oval standard slow cooker I had (not a West Bend). There aren't many dishes I haven't tried in this slow cooker. This is the best West Bend model yet. This model is pricey for a slow cooker, but I would purchase another one, if I found a good sale price.

All-Clad 99009 Stainless-Steel 6-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I work almost everyday (including Sundays) so this pot has been my life saver (or the dinner saver). My older one was 5qt. cool touch Rival. This All-Clad cooker cooks so much faster than my older one (the inside temperature of All-clad gets 230F in high setting). Ribs and 5 pound chicken done in 4 hours in high. If you want crispy chicken skin, let it cook for 6 hours. I highly recommend this product.
By the way I put small roasting rack when I roast chicken or ribs so that they don't stew in the dripping. Save the dripping broth. Put it in the fridge overnight, and get rid of the fat. And use it in your soup or stew, of course, this cooker can do that job just fine as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated Review: 4/17/2008
I've been using this slow cooker at least twice a week. Time to time I would hear "pop" sound either in the middle or toward the end of the cooking time. I couldn't figure out what was making this sound. One day my husband found cracks on the ceramic insert. They were fine cracks, but the cracks were in inside and outside. I contacted All-Clad. The service rep. told me to send a picture of the cracks. So I did. For several weeks I didn't hear anything from them. So I contacted them again. Apparently they didn't get my email with the pictures. So I sent them again. The next day I got a phone call from All-Clad that they would send me a new insert. It arrived a couple of days ago. I made a most wonderful chicken soup with leftover rottisserie chicken yesterday. I'm starting my love affair with this slow cooker again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Review: 11/9/2009
I wish I could say that my slow cooker insert is still going strong. Unfortunately it isn't. I really tried to use them (I have gone through 3 inserts) as much as I could - until I could see the leak. I thought of getting a metal insert. However, it costs $200 NOT including shipping and handling. So I got the most modest Rival Slow Cooker: a 7-qt. with a turn dial. I've had it for 7 months. So far no cracks. It boils water quicker than All-Clad even in the low setting, but still no cracks. I had talked to an All-Clad rep about a possible defect in the ceramic insert, but she didn't seem to believe that theory. I wish I could change the rating to 2-star. It could have been 1-star, but I liked All-Clad's customer services.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Comment: FYI the 2nd insert cracked within 2 hours in the high setting and the 3rd insert cracked in the low setting. After that I began to think maybe the inserts were defective. I did not abuse them. I only used as directed: high or low and went through the dishwasher. I'm using my humble and simple Rival cooker in the same way, and so far no cracks. I thought of getting the metal insert for the All-Clad Slow Cooker, but it was too expensive: $200 for the insert, over $50 for the metal lid (required for the metal insert) and $70 shipping and handling. Besides the reviews were not good for their non-stick metal insert. I'm very happy with my humble Rival 7 qt. Slow Cooker.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update: 6/10/2010
My humble 7-qt Rival slow cooker is still going strong. I've been using it every week, and still no cracks so far. I have made roasts, soups, stews, and casseroles. I haven't made dessert yet. I've seen Sandra Lee "baking" dessert in her white slow cooker. I can't remember if it was Rival or not. But I'll try someday.

West Bend 84905 5-Quart Oblong-Shaped Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best small appliance I have ever had. I have had it 20 years or so. I cook everything in it: pot roasts, pork roasts, stew, pulled pork, beans, etc. I have purchased about 8 of them over the years for wedding gifts, college graduation gifts, Xmas, etc.

There are two main reasons I love this so much. One is the versitility of the heat control. I hate crockpots because all you get is low and high! Give me a break, who cooks like that?? These have settings from 1-5, almost as many as a stove burner. I can brown my stew or roast on 5 then turn it down to 3 or halfway between 3 & 4 or 4 depending on how long I want to be away from the house or want it to cook. The base doubles as a griddle by itself. Takes up very little counter and storage space. The pot goes into the oven or on the stove if you need or want it to. The pot and lid go into the dishwasher, although I ususally just give a quick wash with hot soapy water and wipe off the base. The other reason I love it is it is small and lightweight. No heavy monster crockpots to handle, try to lift full of food and then try and wash!
I have the older model of this cooker that is 6 quarts. At the time I purchased it you had the choice of 4 or 6 qt size. After 20 years I need to replace it, although it still works perfectly, the teflon pot lining is scratched and the teflon coating on the base(griddle) is flaking. But after 20 years of using it 3-5 times a week, its certainly held up wonderfully. I am now purchasing two more, one for me and one as a wedding gift! My only regret is that they no longer make the 6 quart in this model, only the 5 qt. I would recommend it without question!! Enjoy!

Sanyo HPS-MC3 3-in-1 Nonstick Electric Multi-Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am cheap (Asian), and was not keen on plopping down $100 on this cooker. Totally worth it. I got it after I saw some little old ladies at 99 Ranch buying one!
Cooks hot pot like a CHAMP. I was using a single burner with a divided hot pot pot (lol) on top and I had to boil a separate pot the stove to keep up with demand (feeding 4 adults). No more! This thing is sooo convenient. Super easy to adjust the temperature and it heats up quickly.
Nice safety feature that it has a magnetic power cord, in case someone trips over it or you have kids. It stays on just fine.
Also works great as a steamer.
The finish is conducive to easy cleanup.
The grill part...well, I mean...it's essentially a one-sided George Foreman grill. Nothing too special there--but it is very easy to clean.
Buy it! You know if the old Chinese ladies at 99 Ranch were buying, it HAS to be good.
**Update**
Owned it now for almost a year. Still going strong, still highly recommended. It even saved me through a stove issue (2 weeks for the new part to arrive). There are a lot of things you can make with this cooker, I have to say.

(More customer reviews)The good news is: this product keeps food from sticking to flimsy pots. The bad news is: I couldn't get the sticker off the bottom of it, so it burned and smelled bad. More annoying: the metal of the simmer plate itself seems to flake and burn, leaving charred bits on the stove.

West Bend 84866 6-Quart Versatility Slow Cooker with Glass Cover, Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't know why the other reviewer rated this versatile slow cooker so badly? I have used mine for over a year for roasts, whole chickens, chili, soups, etc. and all are done to perfection on "low". Sounds to me like the other reviewer had a defective one. This slow cooker really IS versatile! I have the stainless steel model, not the black aluminum one. You can slow cook all day or speed things up by using medium or high temperature settings. I will replace mine immediately if it wears out...don't know what I would do without it! I use it almost every day.

The reason this item is called Versatility, The EverydaySlow Cooker is due to the ways it can be used. With the highly polished stainless steel cooking vessel on the base - it's a slow cooker. The vessel can also be used in the oven or on top of the stove, when browning a roast to slow cook is desired. The vessel can be set in the freezer and is dishwasher safe. The base doubles as a mini grill, perfect for grilling a burger, a couple of eggs, toasted cheese sandwiches or anything else that fits. A very VERSATILE product.

Fox Run Heat Diffuser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using my diffuser for about 10 years now. Sure enough, when you first fire up the heat, there is some smoke. It'll pass quickly enough if you actually use it the first time. On the other hand, if you fire it up, panic when you see the smoke and shut it off, then it will do the same the second time... and so on. The odor (after the smoke era) is subtle but you're aware of it. I found after about 4 years the wooden handle got loose due to the wood gradually turning to charcoal. But it doesn't come off.
Now after all that being said; it works perfectly! I've been very happy with the performance of this diffuser. It allows for mild heating of the most delicate sauces without fear of scorching. And, as it has a handle, you can move it easily as well as perform the TIP below.
Considering the pricepoint, it is quite the deal.
TIP: When using this to continue heating something at a very low simmer, preheat it by firing up one side first, then flip it over and lower the heat. It will save the 'catch-up' time to keep the simmer.

When cooking a delicate sauce, or melting chocolate, it's important to use low, gentle heat. This diffuser adds a layer of protection between the burner and the bottom of the pan, yet its perforations allow heat to get through. Protect your beautiful pots and pans with this heat diffuser.

Simmer Mat Diffuser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's quite by accident I found this product - on another website to boot. I had been looking for what I called a "burner grid" for about 2 years for our motorhome. The gas burners do not go low enough to simmer. I had checked all kinds of websites and stores over the past couple of years to no avail. Then I came across a mention of a "cooking mat" somewhere & had to check it on Amazon, which, of course, had the best price. I was ecstatic to find it. I really thought I was looking for a product that no one made & I would never find. It works just like it's supposed to: it sets over the burner (in my case, gas) and diffuses the heat enough to enable you to maintain a low simmer. No more burned sauces or soups! Thank you, thank you.
