Customer Review: Lawn Hog review
Works great! Plenty of quiet power and easy to use. Lawn looks better than ever.

Customer Review: An excellent solution, much better than gas powered
I have owned this mower for three years. It cuts great. Electric is a great alternative to gas powered, if it’s practical. You can mow any time of the day without worrying about noise, you never have to worry about oil changes, running out of gas, or storing gas for that matter. Also, clean up is easier because one can flip this item over (in the grass, when it’s not plugged in) to clean it out and not worry about flooding any engine or spilling gas. Of course, the pain is the cord but if you have a small lawn, it’s not a big deal. This mower works great.

Wilton Dimensions Large Cupcake Pan
Cupcake lovers will flip over this super-sized cupcake pan from Wilton Dimensions. Designed to create one giant confection with a sculptural top and bottom, the piece turns out a 3D cupcake that measures approximately 7-1/4 by 7-1/2 inches. The concept is simple–bake the top and bottom halves in the same pan, stick them together with icing, and decorate according to the occasion. Ridges around the bottom of the cupcake and a swirl on the top add to the finished treat’s appeal and make frosting fun. Crafted from heavy-gauge cast aluminum, the pan also features a nonstick surface to simplify release and cleanup. A winning novelty gift for the frequent baker, the piece holds 10 cups of batter total and measures 15-1/2 by 8-1/4 by 3-3/4 inches. –Emily Bedard

Customer Review: giant cupcakes
This will be the perfect centerpiece for my granddaughter’s 1st birthday. I was pleased with the speed of delivery and delighted with the look of the pan. I am looking forward to using this pan for numerous occasions.
Customer Review: Great product!
I bought this pan for my daughters 1st Birthday and her cake was a total hit! I had no problems getting the cake out of the pan. Next time I will add a little more batter to each one. I read some other reveiws that stated the bottom cooks longer than the top, so I let the bottom cook for 10-15 mins first and then added the batter to the top. It worked great! This is a fun cake that can be made at anytime of year! I love it!!!! :) txstrain

Customer Review: Kitchen Staple
I love this pan and use it all the time. I make eggs or a frittata for 1-2 people, hot sandwiches, small quantities of sauce and can even blanch small amounts of vegetables in it. I have both this and the 10 inch pan and for a 2 person home I use this 8 inch pan most often. If you have a larger home then the 10 inch would probably be more handy.
Customer Review: Omelette pan
This omelette pan by Calphalon is outstanding. For the first time in my life, I can actually make an omelette without it falling apart.

Keurig My K-Cup Reusable Coffee Filter
One gadget you’ll keep close at hand. The reusable K-Cup(tm) filter allows you to use your own gourmet coffee in your Keurig brewer. Three easy pieces assembly to produce a rich taste every time.

Customer Review: YES - at last
Finally, my dunkin donuts coffee in my keurig coffee maker - need I say more? I think not.

Customer Review: If it worked
I have attempted to use this product about 10 times with no luck. I cannot get a cup of coffee that isn’t severely watered down. I’ve tried all different degrees of grind, different types of coffee, different amounts in the cup. I can’t get it to work. I really am not technologically challenged and I feel like I should be capable of using this product the correct way. I can’t get anything that tastes like coffee should out of it. I am very frustrated because I love my Keurig brewer but I hate throwing away so much plastic. I really wish that it worked.

Anolon Advanced 12-Inch Shallow Round Grill Pan

List Price: $80.00
Amazon Price: $29.99
Customer Review: Pantastic
First a little background. I rarely review products, I’m a very good cook and I’ve cooked professionally in several restaurants. The analon grill pan is as good as it gets for stove top grilling. That being said it, like all the others it doesn’t give you anything close to an outdoor grilled flavor. However, if used properly, it gives you several advantages of grilling: cooking above the fat, grill marks, and a slight grilled flavor. Using the pan properly is key. I preheat the pan at a strong medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, lightly coat the items I’m grilling with olive oil–rather than the pan, or a marinade/vinagrette, and deglaze the pan afterwards. I also fill the pan with water right after grilling and have had no trouble at all cleaning it later on. I’ve grilled chicken, beef, pork, frozen shrimp and vegetables. I flattened (pounded) the chicken and pork as I think quick grilling best for this sort of appliance, but that’s only speculation. Using a grill pan may make for healthier pan cooking. There’s concern now with the carcinogenic aspects of browning and carbonization in fat; since a grill pan lifts the food above the fat it causes less carbonization than does pan frying and therefore less carcinogens. So, as long as you’re not expecting true grilled flavor, you can’t go wrong with this pan.
Customer Review: Great for grilling!!
I’ve always been impressed with the Anolon line and have been slowly adding to my set. This one has to be the best investment I’ve made. I’ve cooked burgers, picnic ribs w/BBQ sauce and shish kabobs and everything has had that “outside grilled” taste. Best of all is the clean-up - no sweat. Everything just wipes off.

Customer Review: It works perfectly for my uses.
I like to make my own sauces and stocks in large quantities then freeze them for later use. I have found that a “saucier” type of pot, that gets wider at the top, allows more water to evaporate and quickens the thickening process. Up till now I’ve used a 5.5 qt. stainless steel pot but it finally gave out and is no longer being made. I shopped around and read all the reviews for large sauciers like this Circulon. I’ve never used Circulon before so was uncertain if I’d like it, but the price was right and a 6-qt pot is exactly what I needed. Now that I’ve tested it, I’m glad to report that the pot works perfectly and I recommend it for the use I make of it. The pot is indeed rather heavy. On the plus side that gives it very good footing on my electric stove, and allows the element to work very efficiently, so I can put the pot on the small elements to reduce my sauces and stocks rather nicely. Fit and finish is excellent. Neither handle gets very hot and I’ve drained the pot several times without potholders. Note on the “non-stick.” There is no lining in the pot. It is anodized aluminum and the rings in the bottom prevent sticking. I’ve had not problems with the system, but not being familiar with Circulon I was expecting some sort of teflon-like coating. Learn something new every day!
Customer Review: Awesome Pan!
This is an incredible pan and I love it. I can’t believe I’ve had to wait this long to get a pan that doesn’t have sticking problems and is a cinch to clean. Thanks a million!

Wacom Intuos3 6 x 8 Pen Tablet


Wacom Intuos3 6 x 8 Pen Tablet
The Intuos3 tablet is perfect for photographers, designers, artists, illustrators, digital camera owners, high school and higher-education students. The patented, pressure-sensitive pen and hassle-free ambidextrous mouse (with no ball or optical parts) are both cordless and battery-free. The included, valuable software bundle (worth about $200) makes Intuos3 an exceptional value.

Customer Review: My Best Purchase of 2007.
The Wacom Intuos3 is by far the best product for computer art I’ve ever purchased. It’s easy to use, even if you’ve never used it before. I was able to make a drawing with it within 10 minutes of opening the box, and my first thought was “Wow!”. It makes smooth lines, reacts to how hard you press on it to make the inking seem realistic, and 10 different buttons to help you pick whatever tool you set them to quickly. At first, it’s much easier to scan a pencil sketch and then use the tablet to ink over it, then go and use it completely freehand afterward.

It was easy to install, came with all the software you’d need, and I know this tablet will last me until college or until I’m able to afford a Wacom Cintiq, whichever comes first.

In short, if you’re serious about digital inking, this tablet is for you.

Customer Review: Essential Product for Advanced Photoshop Users
Wacom Intuos3 6 x 8 Pen Tablet This tablet, the best size for most monitor screens, opens a whole new world of Photoshop skills via making possible the use of a pen instead of a mouse and making active Photoshop’s pressure-sensitive controls for flow and opacity. The programable switches and sidebars on the tablet, as well as the switches on both the Wacom mouse and pen, facilitate rapid image manipulations. However, this tablet has made me feel the need for a computer upgrade, as my present 1 gigaherz processor and 1 gigabyte of RAM result in slow performance when using the tablet with information-rich images.

Weber 3301 Large Aluminum Drip Pans
Great barbecuing begins with the right accessories from Weber. These versitile aluminum pans are perfect for catching grease drip-off from the grill or even to put out side dishes and desserts.
Remember to replace the pan every few uses so it stays nice and clean!

  • Great For Indirect Cooking And To Catch Grease Drip-Off
  • Cook Or Barbecue Vegetables
  • Heavy Gauge Aluminum Drip Pan
  • Size: 13-In. x 9-In.
  • 10 Pack
    Price: $6.99
    Customer Review: Buy these on sale please
    It’s hard for me to fathom anyone paying the suggested retail of $15.99 for 10 drip pans. On sale, they were $5.69 making the cost, obviously, about 57 cents each, which is acceptable. They are heavy enough that you could wash them in the dishwasher and reuse them.
    Customer Review: Great pans
    Okay, I admit it — I bought these because they had a big Weber name embossed in them. ;-) Turns out it was a good purchase, though. The pans are much thicker and sturdier than expected. I actually went back to the package to make sure I bought the disposable ones. I’ve been able to get multiple uses out of them with a quick rinse, depending on the food that is cooking over them. I use mine when I’m cooking something with indirect heat, which is a technique that Weber often recommends. I push the coal grates to the left and right sides of the grill, and put this pan in the center. Sometimes I add water if I want it to be more of a moist heat. Works especially well for putting under the rotisserie to catch drips. Sean P. Logue, 2007

    Kaiser Bakeware Noblesse 7-Inch Nonstick Springform Pan
    This solidly constructed little springform is just the thing to ensure a nicely browned crust on your next cheesecake or bread pudding. The nonstick coating is thick and durable, and the dark color on the exterior of the pan guarantees a faster cooking time and even coloration. For left-handed chefs, the wall can be easily flipped around–it makes buckling the pan much easier. The buckle itself is as sturdy as the rest of the pan–no chance of bending it in half when releasing your dessert. Because of the extra-wide, leakproof base, wrapping your springform in aluminum foil will happily become a thing of the past. –Jill Lightner

    Customer Review: Good size for two people
    I was looking for a small spring form pan so I could cook for two. This one is perfect.
    Customer Review: what is leakproof ?
    I bought this pan because it’s leakproof. I thought it’s perfect for cheesecake( because of waterbath ). Am I wrong? or I got the defect one. I poured some water in this pan, and water leaked. When I let this pan waterbath, water came inside this pan.

    T-Fal Color Collection Nonstick 10-1/4-Inch Saute Pan, Blueberry
    Color Collection, 10.25″, Blue, Fry Pan, Non Stick Inside & Out, Thermospot.
    Price: $8.91
    Customer Review: Little shallow, but works great
    I go through Teflon fry pans pretty quick, as I hate plastic utensils, so I get a new one every year, or so. I really like the T-Fal, as they have a good weight, and heat distribution. This pan is a perfect size, except being a bit shallow for my taste. It works well for flipping, because the sides are rounded and slanted, and the handle is easy to grip, without that sticky feel that some have. I test boil shallow water, and this pan makes good contact with my glass top stove, and the water boils all over, simultaneously, with no cold spots. It did not bow, when I cooled it down quickly with cold water, and still made good contact with the stove. I’m neutral on the color. Either you like blue, and you care, or not. I don’t hang my pans, so I don’t care. Not much shows when it’s on the stove, so unless you decorate with them, it’s kinda irrelevant. It’s a good pan for a very good price.
    Customer Review: Decent Pan
    This certainly is a decent pan for the price and is nice looking. The handle is a little loose (not bad) so I tried to tighten up the screw that holds it on - but wasn’t able to get it tighter. But, for the price it is still a good deal.

    Customer Review: The party is at my house!
    This game is amazing and it past my expectations. This game has brought life back into the video game world for me, im usually the one sittting on the couch watching my kids play. But since I purchased DDR Hottest Party the party has been in my house and im the host. This game is in high demand and almost impossible to find. I had to purchase mine online because I could not find it in stores and I have enjoyed every single minute of it. I cant compare this DDR game to the others because this is the only version of DDR that I have ever played but the songs are awsome “call me” is my favorite. I love that it has four different levels so kids as young as 5 yrs old can play. My daughter is 6 and her favorite song is “A Little too late”. I also like that it has different modes so you can do single play, battle mode (you need 2 mats) or friendship mode, there is even a workout mode.I love that its a active game keeps you off the couch. I also purchased another dance mat to compete with others in my househould and that just brought the residents from the complex over so theres a DDR party at my house everyday. This game is totally worth the money. I would recommend this game to annyone

    Customer Review: for the +55 crowd
    I got this as a way to get an aerobic workout that would be fun. When the product first came, I was quite lost as there are not many directions in the box. I went online and tried to find information there. What I found was helpful, but I’m still stumbling around a bit. I went directly to the workout section and there is no tutorial in that. A couple of weeks later I tried a different section and found a tutorial song. By that time, I didn’t need that, but I would use it for any friend that wants to try it.

    My only beef with it is it seems to get stuck and I can’t control what selections I’m making. It just cycles through everything in a given menu over and over and goes so fast you really don’t have much chance of stopping it where you want it. The only way I have found to stop it is to back out of it and try starting it again. I think that is a defect on the DVD rather than the Wii machine as it doesn’t happen with anything else I have.

    I use the mat with socks on and don’t have any trouble with slipping. It does drift a bit on the carpeting and then I’m not stepping where I think I am, but otherwise it is alot of fun. I don’t think I will ever get above the basic level, but I can get some exercise and have some fun. That’s why I got it.

    Chicago Metallic Gourmetware Nonstick Checkerboard Cake Pan Set
    If you enjoy wowing your friends and family with amazing cakes, you should seriously consider adding this Chicago Metallic checkerboard pan set to your cookware collection. Crafted from high-quality, noncorrosive metal and featuring a two-ply nonstick coating, the set contains three 9-inch round cake pans and a plastic batter divider. Just place the divider in a pan, pour two alternating batters (one dark and one light) into the three circles the divider creates, then remove the divider and bake. Stack the finished layers so the colors alternate. When your cake is cut, a luscious, three-layered checkerboard masterpiece will be revealed. The nonstick finish makes cleanup easy, and the pans are dishwasher-safe as well. If you choose to wash them by hand, though, use a nylon pad–rather than steel wool or abrasive cleaners–to protect the nonstick surface. This set comes with instructions and a recipe for chocolate-and-vanilla cake. –Marianne Painter

    Customer Review: More than a checkerboard cake
    I recently purchased 3 sets of these checkerboard cake pans. I baked 9 (half inch) layers to make a Praline Doberge cake. It came out wonderful. I love these little pans. They also are great to bake my biscuits in. I stack them for storage by putting a napkin between each pan (keeps them from sticking together)
    Customer Review: You get what you pay for
    I was very disappointed with this product. When it arrived, the pans were dented in and the plastic ring had one leg broken off. The overall quality of the cake pans was very cheap and flimsy. I returned them the next day and ended up finding good quality ones at my local Michael’s craft store for $12.99. Think twice before buying this product and then decide otherwise.

    iTouchless Stainless Steel Hands-Free Infrared Automatic Trash Can, 13 Gallon (49 Liter)


    iTouchless Stainless Steel Hands-Free Infrared Automatic Trash Can, 13 Gallon (49 Liter)
    Once you’ve tried the iTouchless Touchless Trashcan, you will never go back to the traditional or step-on trash can again. After all, your trashcan is your most-used everyday “appliance,” so why not make it easier, more pleasant, and a lot less messy to use?


    iTouchless trashcan opens and closes without touching the bin. View larger.

    About the Touchless Trashcan
    The 13-gallon, brushed stainless steel Touchless Trashcan is a patented product that’s already widely recognized in Europe. Thousands have been sold on infomercials, QVC, and HSN home shopping channels. It also won the 2002 Invention Show, New Household Product Award. It is a 100 percent hands-free operated, wireless, lidded waste disposal system. The built-in Artificial Intelligent (AI) Smart-Chip knows when you need to open trash can, and it does all the openings and closings for you so you don’t have to touch or step on anything.

    How it Works
    The Touchless Trashcan uses patented, invisible, and harmless infrared technology. Simply place your hand or debris about six inches away from the infrared sensor near the lid. It will open instantly when you approach and will close automatically in three seconds after debris has been released and your hand moves away. The lid will remain open if debris or your hand is within the 6-inch range of the infrared sensor. There are two buttons on the front to open and close the lid manually, and a easy to reach on/off switch on the back of the trashcan.

    The Benefits of the Touchless Trashcan
    This trashcan creates a germ free, odor free, automated environment. It keeps your hands clean while you are cooking or playing with your children. It also helps prevent contamination, which reduces the threat of certain illnesses and infections. Because the trashcan turns an ordinary chore into something fun, your kids will have fun throwing the trash away for you. In addition, the Touchless Trashcan outlasts most of the step-on and hand-touch cans. If you can’t touch it, you can’t break it! These cans have been opened 100,000 times in laboratory tests, and they’re still going strong. In fact, if you open your can 20 times a day, it can last over 10 years. This could actually be the last trashcan you ever buy, which will save you money, mess, and time.

    Technology and Eco-Friendly Features
    Professionals recognize Touchless Trashcan as the next generation of waste receptacles. Its non-touch hygienic features meet the immediate needs in healthcare facilities and elderly homes. The new SilenX technology makes the closing of the lid even quieter while the “eagle eye” water-resistant sensor features reliable point-n-lock beam technology. In addition, the special energy saving design of Touchless Trashcan enables its four “D” size heavy duty batteries to support up to 10,000 consecutive openings and closings, or more than one year of use in non-frequent circumstances. There’s also never a “fallen bag” problem with the Touchless Trashcan. The specially designed garbage bag retainer ring tightly holds the edges of the bag to prevent it from falling, and it seals the odors inside. You can use regular plastic garbage bags or even grocery bags, so there’s no need to buy special garbage bags which many high-end garbage cans require.

    The Touchless Trashcan will improve the look of your kitchen, giving it an ultra-modern look and feel. It comes with one year limited manufacturer’s warranty and a 60-day unconditional money back guarantee.

    Customer Review: A delight while it worked. And then, after a month
    This product was a delight while it worked. Even my two teenage sons, who rarely compliment anything, independently said “I love this garbage can.” Alas, it broke after a month–the lid stopped opening. Fresh batteries did not help. It simply stopped opening, even when I pressed the manual open button. It’s too bad–it helped keep the kitchen clean, the garbage lid itself stayed clean, and it was tall enough that the dog couldn’t activate the sensor. But, in the end, it gave only a month of utility before it joined the ranks of yet another appliance that had to be returned.

    Customer Review: Works fine for me
    So far the experience with this trash can has been great, don’t have any complaints, other than sometimes I walk to close to it. Which I knew could be a problem when I bought it because of where it would go, a small price to pay compared to the filth that was on my old trash can lid. So, so far so good.

    Amazon Price: $1.95
    Customer Review: Little Gadget with some problems
    This very small but useful product was covered on both sides with an extremely sticky label, which would not come off even with nail polish remover. Although only about 2.5″x3″ and weighing about 1 oz., it was shipped in a cardboard box 10″x12″ in size, filled with plastic air pillows. Very wasteful packaging. The ease of cleaning my panini grill without pushing a paper towel up each trough sounded nice, but this was definitely not worth $5 plus shipping and handling. I would have thought Mario Batali would consider his endorsements more carefully.
    Customer Review: Makes life a lot easier.
    If you own this “Mario Batali Panini Grill and Press” this is a must have. fits grooves of his panini pan well, not perfect but well. Makes cleaning a lot easier. It also works well flipping things that are small that you might be tempted to flip with your hands. for the money it’s a steal. I ordered 2.

    Customer Review: Healthy donuts
    This donut pan is a great pan. Donuts are usually fried and unhealthy. But you can make delicious donuts that are healthy in this pan by following the included recipes and then baking them instead of frying them. I have used our favorite muffin recipes in it, too. Instead of a muffin, they look like donuts. The grandkids love them. I have two pans now, so I don’t have to wait for one batch to come out. 1/2 recipe makes two pans full.
    Customer Review: Nonstick pan for yummy donuts
    I was surprised to see a review saying they had problems with their donuts sticking to the pan. I haven’t run into that at all. One of the things I love about this pan is how you don’t need any oil. You do need to let them cool about 5-10 mins before removing. Maybe that’s why your donuts are sticking? I would buy two if I were buying again though, because who only makes 12 mini donuts at a time?

    Customer Review: Very Impressive
    Truth be told. I just received the pan and haven’t used it yet. However, because I’m learning what it takes to make great food, I can tell by the way it looks and feels that it’s going to do a great job and last a lifetime. It’s so much better than the Martha Stewart pans. Twice the pan for a few dollars more.
    Customer Review: Great pan!
    I love this pan! The thick base with copper gets it hot really quick and holds the heat very long. It’s roomy, has a helper handle, you can fry/saute your chicken with vegies, deglaze it, and then put the pan into the oven to finish. The cover sits very tight. The cleaning is very easy - just fill pan with hot water with some soap and in few minutes - it’s completely clean. Overall it’s becoming one of my favorite pan.

    Wacom Intuos3 6 x 8 Pen Tablet


    Wacom Intuos3 6 x 8 Pen Tablet
    The Intuos3 tablet is perfect for photographers, designers, artists, illustrators, digital camera owners, high school and higher-education students. The patented, pressure-sensitive pen and hassle-free ambidextrous mouse (with no ball or optical parts) are both cordless and battery-free. The included, valuable software bundle (worth about $200) makes Intuos3 an exceptional value.

    Customer Review: My Best Purchase of 2007.
    The Wacom Intuos3 is by far the best product for computer art I’ve ever purchased. It’s easy to use, even if you’ve never used it before. I was able to make a drawing with it within 10 minutes of opening the box, and my first thought was “Wow!”. It makes smooth lines, reacts to how hard you press on it to make the inking seem realistic, and 10 different buttons to help you pick whatever tool you set them to quickly. At first, it’s much easier to scan a pencil sketch and then use the tablet to ink over it, then go and use it completely freehand afterward.

    It was easy to install, came with all the software you’d need, and I know this tablet will last me until college or until I’m able to afford a Wacom Cintiq, whichever comes first.

    In short, if you’re serious about digital inking, this tablet is for you.

    Customer Review: Essential Product for Advanced Photoshop Users
    Wacom Intuos3 6 x 8 Pen Tablet This tablet, the best size for most monitor screens, opens a whole new world of Photoshop skills via making possible the use of a pen instead of a mouse and making active Photoshop’s pressure-sensitive controls for flow and opacity. The programable switches and sidebars on the tablet, as well as the switches on both the Wacom mouse and pen, facilitate rapid image manipulations. However, this tablet has made me feel the need for a computer upgrade, as my present 1 gigaherz processor and 1 gigabyte of RAM result in slow performance when using the tablet with information-rich images.

    Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Square Grill Pan
    The one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require “seasoning.” To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother’s ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into such a treasure. Fortunately Lodge has come out with the new Logic line, which has been evenly coated on all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil. Next the cookware is put into an extremely high temperature industrial oven which bakes the coating into the surface. Not only will you be spared the time and effort of seasoning, but also the new piece you buy will look and perform better than if you had seasoned it at home. Just like that heirloom pan you will find that even pineapple upside down cake doesn’t stick to this surface. The ribbed bottom of this pan allows grease to puddle away from what you’re cooking, all the while making those desirable stripes across fish, beast, or fowl.

    Customer Review: Great addittion to any kitchen!
    As I get more into cooking, I find that having the proper tools is key to turning out some amazing food. Since being banned from outdoor grilling at my apartment building, I bought this to satisfy my grilling needs. This pan counts as a great asset to anyone’s kitchen. The cleaning gets easier as you continue to use this pan; I’ve had mine for about two months, cooking with it regularly and the smoke is still an issue. Hence four stars instead of five. With practice, this pan has turned out some really good food! I did my Guinness brats on it, and they were the best! Steaks cook to perfection in six minutes with sweet grill marks. Well worth it.
    Customer Review: Great addition
    I love my new skillet! Just cooked a couple of t-bones in them tonight and they were wonderful!

    Customer Review: Calphalon 12Inch Fry Pan
    This is a wonderful fry pan. The pan is a bit heavy, but the easy clean up makes up for the weight and the quality of the pan is great. I am very pleased with this product and will go with the Calphalon brand for any other new cookware I will need.
    Customer Review: Impressive
    I got two of these pans. I use them to sautee leafy green vegetables, so the lid comes in very handy. Of course, they work great on other food as well. I don’t miss the extra handle on the non-promo pan. It helps to have a powerful burner - the pan is large and it may take some time for it to heat up. Bottom line: unbeatable combination of quality, utility, and price. BBB has them at the same price; with 20% off coupon the deal is very sweet.

    All-Clad LTD Nonstick Grande Grille Pan
    Distinguished among All-Clad’s renowned cookware collections by its stylish charcoal black hard anodized-aluminum exterior, the LTD line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad’s worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and the interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. Certain pieces, like this one, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to the steel.

    This enormous stovetop grill pan makes clear the appeal of All-Clad’s LTD cookware to contemporary cooks. It’s 20 inches long and 13 inches wide, perfect for grilling a dozen big burgers or eight T-bone steaks and searing them with appetizing-looking grill marks. Because the grill’s cooking surface is durable nonstick, you can grill healthful meals without using butter or oil and you’ll have an easier cleanup. Polished 18/10 stainless-steel handles are riveted to the grill for strength, provide 2 inches of space to accommodate big hands, and stay cool on the stovetop. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. –Fred Brack

    Customer Review: Fabulous Grill Pan
    I had purchased a different grill pan and everything stuck to it even after I sprayed it with cooking spray. I saw Giada on the cooking channel use this same pan so I thought I would try it. I am delighted with it. I have grilled bacon and chicken and nothing stuck to it. I recommend this grill and don’t worry about the price it is well worth it. Debbie
    Customer Review: A terrific grill
    I was recently at my daughter-in-law’s home and saw her using this grill. It was so easy to clean. She uses it in her oven as a broiler rack with her electric oven. The broiler trays that come with most ovens are not that easy to clean, even when using a grilling spray. I liked it so much that I am now buying one for myself to use the same way, as a broiler tray for my oven. It is large enough to fit under the broiler and Soooooo easy to clean!

    This saute pan lived up to its reviews. My eggs slipped and slid out of the pan, as they should have.

    this product absolutely would not work for me. support staff at pantone tried hard to help….sent me 3 additional units to try. three hueypro devices gave me a distinct red cast and the fourth turned things yellow-green. used the latest software updates and tried to calibrate with each multiple times in different lighting conditions. support staff at x-rite was useless, wanting only to sell me a much more expensive device. i’m returning them all…………………

    Customer Review: Everything turned a greenish color….
    I have heard so much over the years of the Huey Pantone huey Pro MEU113 and was very excited to finally get one. Unfortunately, it just didn’t do what I expected. I tried this on two LCD monitors and the corrected colors on both of them was very greenish. I returned the product - it just was not as expected for me.

    Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 12-Inch Omelet Pan
    Whether firm country-style or tender French, omelets must be cooked quickly and folded in the pan. A classic omelet pan, therefore, is thick-bottomed for rapid, even heating and shallow with steeply sloped sides so omelets can be rolled easily against its sides. This big pan qualifies on all counts, and it’s ideal for saut?ing and searing, also. Calphalon’s Commercial nonstick cookware is coated with an especially durable, multilayered nonstick material. Use only plastic, nylon, and wood utensils. The pan is anodized for hardness. For that no-nonsense, professional-kitchen look, this cookware wears a matte finish. Polished, cast-stainless-steel handles are triple-riveted for durability and balance and stay cooler on stovetops. Holes in the handles facilitate hanging on hook or peg. Made of heavy-gauge aluminum, pans cook without hot spots or warping. The pan comes with a lifetime warranty against defects. –Fred Brack
    Price: $114.99
    Customer Review: Just simply a great pan.
    Another nice product from Calphalon. Highly recommended for a great general purpose fry pan. I use it for just about anything and everything.
    Customer Review: Right pan, but a couple things wrong
    12-inch non-stick Cal Comm pan would have done the trick but it arrived (promptly) with a couple defects: 1) An all-too-noticeable machine line at transition to radius (spatula would catch on it), and 2) Three or four raised/marred areas on bottom that made for poor contact on our ceramic top stove. Handle does seem a little more on style and less on ergonomics. Returned it (Cooking.com - great service people, no problem), but contrary to what was said when we had sent it in, there were no more to exchange. Did get it at significant sale and probably should have kept it, warts and all. Two other C-C pans doing well.

    Customer Review: love it
    Bought this for my nephew’s first birthday and it was a hit! Very handy to cart his gifts around. Biggest problem with it was that he would cry and scream bl**dy heck if we tried to pry him away from it. Took some really cute pictures of him and my baby in the cart. Planning on using it for some studio pictures–think it would be a very cute prop. It’s also very durable and useful for carting around boxes, tools, groceries, etc. Worth every penny (and I paid quite a bit more because of shipping overseas). I plan on buying another one for my baby in a couple of years.

    Customer Review: Every child needs a wagon!!
    This wagon will be around longer than the kids! All terrain wheels, side rails for the infants (don’t forget the pads), and a steel frame makes this wagon a must for every family with kids. Love it! Worth every penny!!!

    I received this pan a few days ago & it’s perfect for my needs. I currently reside overseas & the oven sizes are about 1/2 the size of those in the US. I was looking for a broiler pan/baking dish that could fit my small 15 inch oven & this fits wonderfully! Not only that but it cooks like a dream!!!! As for the cleaning issue–I haven’t had any problems. In the past when I have stuck on grease, etc. I just soak the pan in Coke overnight & it comes out clean. If you don’t have any Coke, you can use baking soda & lemon juice or vinegar–works the same & it’s good as new!
    Customer Review: A great little double duty pan
    This pan just arrived in the mail and I’m delighted with it. For years, I’ve been using a large, porcelain broiler pan that came with my first range. This new pan is ideal for everyday meals for two people. And it won’t be a dishwasher hog. I read the review that warned about grease sticking to the pan. Porcelain is notorious for that. But it’s safe for using with the high heat of a broiler. So I’ll line the bottom of the pan with foil and then spritz the top slotted broil tray with cooking spray. That’ll take care of the issue. When I ordered this pan I didn’t realize that the bottom piece is so deep and doubles as a baking pan. It’s going to be helpful for baking vegetable dishes or desserts at the same time as roasts.

    I think KitchenAid makes the best, affordable, non-stick frying pans out there.

Highly recommended.
    Customer Review: the perfect pan
    This is a fabulous pan. Great shape. Great non-stick. And lasts long time. It really puts much more expensive brands to shame. We have used it as a wok to sautee veggies at high heat. And we routinely use it to cook Indian food. The large size and nice rounded bottom make it easy to fry a small amount of spices and then cook a generous portion of rice/meat. The handle is nice (has a soft feel). Couldn’t as for anything more.

    Customer Review: The best pans for Medium Cheesecaks!
    I got these pans at an amazing $20 for 6 on another site late 2006.I have regretted so many times not purchasing about 4 other sets! I make cheesecakes as a side line business, and these pans always make great, perfectly browned medium sized cheesecakes. The cheesecakes always come out so easily from the pans. I always wrap the base in foil and bake over a pan of water to get the best out of these pans. One other reviewer complained of the size, but that is definitely not a problem if you would like an adorable cheesecake that would serve two persons comfortably. I bought these together with another MEDIUM sized cheesecake pan, and this one by far excels in quality! I have used it for more than a year, and there is no signs of wear or tear . They look brand new! I have not tried making anything else with this pan, but I know I will be making many more cheesecakes using these. The are my absolutely favourite pans in the kitchen. You will not regret purchasing them!
    Customer Review: einh
    I’m not a fan of Wilton pans, because they typically are harder to assemble than Kaiser pans, and not as durable. This one at least is non-stick, although I would still recommend spraying it lightly with some Pam. My chief complaints about this pan: 1) It’s very small. The 4″ size is cute, but at less than 2″ tall, it makes a rather small dessert. 2) If you put the bottom of the pan in correctly, your crust/bottom of your dessert will be 1/8″ below the sides of the pan. So unless you grease it well or freeze the dessert before removing it from the pan, you’re going to lose your crust. You also get a slight indentation with the crust, which looks weird (the cake hangs a little over the edge of the crust). Also, because extra butter or other moisture won’t leak out a little, your crust is likely to be soggier than you’d expect. If you put the bottom in upside down (I do this for cheesecake), you won’t have this problem, but your pan might leak. Be sure to spread your crust to the edges and press it tightly to ensure there aren’t any gaps. 3) It doesn’t clean well. Little bits of crust and batter get into the grooves, and a toothpick barely fits in to dig that out. If the butter in your crust does leak, it will get stuck in the grooves and doesn’t wash out easily. I found this out after putting one pan away (I have several of these), because the residue leaked out in the cabinet. If you soak it to get this stuff to ease out that way, you might get some rust. I bought several of my pans through an auction, and the previous owner claimed to have used them once, but many of them had rust on them. 4) When you release the clasp fully, the sides of the pan can completely separate, and you’ll have to guide it back in. When this happened, I noticed that some batter was between the adjoining sides, and had to clean that out too. In one of the nine pans I bought, the spring on a brand new one was faulty and kept popping. Luckily, I discovered that before putting any batter in!! That would have made a huge mess in my oven. I sell cheesecakes, so I have to have novelty pans like this, but otherwise, I wouldn’t bother with this pan. The novelty is fun, but not worth it unless you LOVE heart-shaped stuff. I had previously bought Wilton’s full-size heart springform pan and sent it back after one use. I just wish Kaiser made the novelty pans!
