(More customer reviews)
This is the best T-fal I have yet!! This Professional set is by far thicker and heavier than any of my other T-fal. The pans are nonstick and the bottoms are stainless steel. They have heavy glass vented lids, and cushion grip handles. Even the pan handles are put on sturdier with 2 rivets as opposed to most pans that have one screw that comes lose. I would definitely buy this professional line again. I've tried many brands of cookware and I love T-fal the best. I'm hard on my cookware because I cook and bake and can continually, T-fal holds up. I buy T-fal singly and in sets to add to what I have... I love it!

Blue Rhino GBT1030 Portable Propane Barbecue Grill with Griddle and Stove Review

Blue Rhino GBT1030 Portable Propane Barbecue Grill with Griddle and Stove
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was looking for a SMALL portable grill that I could use for hamburgers. This one fills the bill. I suspect that this wouldn't be a good choice for larger items to grill, but it is perfect for our use, and the hamburgers were just the way we like them!
We gave up on large propane grills a long time ago, and we have been using charcoal, but even then, by the time we buy the charcoal and wait for it to heat, we have been avoiding grilling - just not enough food for the expense and the effort.
This portable grill has about 10 by 12 inches grilling surface, about right for four frozen hamburger patties. If you make your own, you might be able to squeeze six on the surface. The other half of the grill has a stove burner and removable griddle on top. You can place a pot directly on top of the burner to cook. Both burners are controlled by separate knobs, meaning you only have to heat up the area you are actually using. It has a push-button lighter, so no matches are needed. It is a great item that could easily replace a propane stove for camping, adding grilling as a nice option.
It is perfect for my husband and I to grill a small amount of food without wasting a lot of fuel. The additional burner makes it a nice item to keep on hand for "emergency preparedness." It folds up nicely, and is easy to carry with you or store on a shelf in the garage during the winter. I especially like the fact that it has a locking top which makes it easy and safe to carry.
BUT, there is a caveat. If you are terrified of assembling items, do NOT buy this cute little grill. It comes with 18 parts that are assembled with 30 screws, wing nuts, washers, lock washers, pins, and cotter pins. There are 4 sizes of screws and other essential matching parts. The instructions said that assembly should take about 30 minutes. It took me close to two hours to finish.
On the plus side, it comes with the only essential tool - the Phillips Head screwdriver, and all parts matched up well, with only a few awkward spots to assemble. Instructions are pictorial - which can be either a plus or minus depending upon the way you enjoy your assembly instructions. In my case, although it took longer than the instructions stated, I never felt overwhelmed by the task.
If you would like a grill that uses a larger surface, you will want to consider another one, but if you are like us and want something portable, handy, and small, this one works nicely.
Oh, and if you are considering this as a wedding gift, you might want to assemble it for the newlyweds, lest their marriage not survive the assembly. :)

Ronco ST3001SSGEN Showtime Compact Rotisserie and Barbeque Oven, Stainless Steel Review

Ronco ST3001SSGEN Showtime Compact Rotisserie and Barbeque Oven, Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I did some research online and figured I'd give this rotisserie a try. I love it. I just tried it today for lunch. I followed the very simple instructions and my chicken came out perfect; juicy, moist, tender with the perfect golden glow. Since this was my first try, I wanted to see what it would taste like if I didn't use any spices or butter. It tasted like chicken you would get at a 5 star dinner. No salt or anything, nothing was added and it was great! The meat pulled right off of the bone. If you have a loved one that's not so great in the kitchen yet you like a great meal, get them this as a gift just because you love them and or your stomach.
I found it easy to clean after it cooled down just a little but I wouldn't wait to clean it after setting around for awhile as I can see how it could harden and be much harder to clean the grease. Because it was still warm, all I had to do was use a warm, wet cloth to wipe away the grease from the clear door and sides. I used foil inside the drip try which got tossed out with gease and all.

The Pampered Chef Mix N Chop #2583 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love the mix n chop and you will too. I couldn't believe how great it was when frying up ground beef in the skillet for spagetti or hamburger helper or just about anything. You just keep chopping it down over the meat in the pan and after a short time the meat frys up in the most amazing small pieces. No clumps of meat! It works wonderful and when the meat is mixed into sauces, it is fantastic and all the same small size. The mix n chop won't scratch or harm your non stick pan. I was just astonished at how great this kitchen tool works. I can't fry hamburger anymore with out it! I love the mix n chop.

Takoyaki Pan #H5180 Review

Takoyaki Pan #H5180
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Beggars can't be choosers, and that seems to be true for takoyaki in the US. The delightful Osaka treat is rare enough even at Japanese restaurants, and the necessary implements for making it at home are even more so.
The absolute best set up is a round takoyaki pan, either on a gas or electric portable grill. Much of the fun of takoyaki comes from everyone sitting around the table and cooking together, putting in your favorite ingredients and popping the little balls out then eating them hot and fresh. That is how it is done in Japan, and home-cooking takoyaki isn't meant to be the province of a lone cook standing over a stove while everyone waits patiently for the food. It is a communal experience.
However, true takoyaki cookers are not readily available, and this pan is better than nothing. It doesn't take much, just a pan with round indents in it heavy enough to rest on the range while the balls are flipped over using long toothpicks. It isn't really designed to work with electric ranges, as they are pretty rare in Japan, but it does the trick. I don't recommend using the included steel pick, as it will scratch your pan and conduct heat while doing the flipping.

William Bounds Sili Triple Egg Poacher, Red Review

William Bounds Sili Triple Egg Poacher, Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Silicone is supposed to be easy use and the eggs will just slide out.
1)this poacher does not do this and leaves a residue behind that took 4 washings to clear but still discolored. 2) You have to use the largest pan you can find as it does not go into even a 4 qt. saucepan without tilting it. 3) the design is very poor. 4) I even used oil to coat the silicone cups before using and it still didn't work.
The eggs were unsatisfactorily cooked in these cups so why bother. It is easier to use my old method of water poaching and even if some of the egg white sticks to the stainless steel bottom, the pan comes clean in one scrubbing. I rate this as a useless gew gaw and a piece of junk at an unreasonable price for what you get.

Ronco ST2000WHGENZ Showtime Petite Rotisserie Oven Review

Ronco ST2000WHGENZ Showtime Petite Rotisserie Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've thought about getting a rotisserie oven for some time and, when I saw this one on sale for $25.00 I thought I'd give it a try. Not worth the money.
1. The manual had the photos and directions backwards (mixed up left and right) which made it difficult to figure out how to assemble the pieces, It also used the term 'round end' when there is no round end. I eventually figured it out.
2. The end of the bar that is supposed to fit in the motor shaft doesn't, causing slippage.
3. The drip pan is too small and allowed the fat to get on the base of the unit. Very difficult to clean up as the base is not non-stick.
4. The food cooks very slowly. Forget about anything other than well done if you want any browning at all.
5. The way the basket fits the bar, only the side farthest from the bar gets close enough to the heating element to brown. And very slowly at that.
6. And finally, the glass door is only held close by the fact that it is tilted back about 5 degrees from vertical. If you brush up against it it will fall open, which is bad news for a glass door. (luckily mine hasn't broken yet, but it makes me nervous to work near it)
All in all, a poorly designed piece of equipment, over hyped by infomercials.

Well designed and simple to use, this petite rotisserie oven makes fresh, healthy food easier than ever to prepare. The compact, horizontal unit offers all the same great features as the original Ronco Showtime rotisserie, but in a convenient countertop size that's perfect for one- to two-person households.

Accessories include a nonstick drip tray, a basket removal tool, and an instruction booklet with delicious recipe ideas.

Sanyo U-K170S 1-3/4-Quart Stainless-Steel Electric Kettle Review

Sanyo U-K170S 1-3/4-Quart Stainless-Steel Electric Kettle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We loved the look of this kettle and liked the easy-to-read water gauge. Its power is 1500 Watts, which is higher than many comparable kettles.This is a big advantage, as it means that it comes to the boil more quickly. (It's well worth checking the power of kettles before buying them. Some are painfully slow!)
For us, though, there was, unfortunately, one problem. We use our kettle for all sorts of purposes, but mainly for making traditional British tea and we found that after a day or so, the tea tasted odd. My adult son was the first to point it out. I didn't want to believe it, as I loved the kettle. But in the end I was unable to deny it any longer. The tea definitely didn't taste right, even to me.
I did some searching online and found other comments about a "metallic" taste and suggestions for eliminating it. e.g. Boil up lemon juice in the water, and so on. I did try that and it did diminish the scale that had already started to build up. But for us, it still didn't solve the taste problem. I don't know whether the scale was what caused it. If so, the kettle might work well for those who live in soft water areas, or who use water filters. It might also be fine for you if you aren't a tea drinker, or fussy about the taste of your tea.
I hate to write anything negative in a review, but feel I owe it to fellow tea-drinkers to point out this problem! We have kept the kettle, because it's still useful and fast at boiling water for other purposes. But we no longer use it for tea-making. Sorry.

With 1500 watts of power and a concealed heating element, this electric kettle quickly boils up to 7 cups of water, producing hot water for tea, hot chocolate, instant soup, and more--in half the time of a microwave oven. The kettle lifts off its 360-degree swivel power base for cordless pouring, can be set on the power base in any direction, and provides an easy on/off switch under the ergonomically designed handle. For safety, it features automatic shut-off with boil-dry protection to prevent it from operating without water, and to ensure the water doesn't boil away during operation, the unit shuts off automatically once the water reaches a full boil. Side and top water-gauge windows, along with a water-level indicator in ounces and liters, make it possible to see at a glance the amount of water remaining in the kettle. Other highlights include a push-button lid for convenient filling at the sink, a blue LED "on" interior light, cord storage underneath, and a removable and washable mesh filter that extends the life of the kettle and ensures better-tasting beverages. A bilingual instruction manual comes included. Housed in beautiful stainless steel, the electric kettle measures 9-1/5 by 6-4/5 by 10-1/5 inches.

Weston Non-Stick Single Hamburger Press Review

Weston Non-Stick Single Hamburger Press
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First impressions when this item arrived was that it was lighter than I thought it would be. I can say that I don't think that affects this press too much, but I do wish it was a little heavier.
In this design, the meat sits on the flat surface, while the 'cup' or 'hole' that the meat is pressed in to to form the burger is what you push down on. This is good, since if the cup/hole is on the bottom - it can be quite hard to get that burger out intact!
A big plus is that this press can make burgers of different thicknesses, but I do wish they'd pre-marked a couple of notches on the adjustment slide indicating the correct thickness for a 1/4 pounder and a 1/2 pounder. Easy to do - just annoying they didn't think of that!
Finally, when making the burgers, I found that a quick light spray of Pam lets you slide that sucker off every time, making perfect patties.
Overall - a good press with a couple of oversights that would have made it great - but I haven't yet found anything else that is better.
Let the grilling begin!
Happy shopping

The "Sear" button works pretty well, and the grill makes great food, and fast. I find I use it often to grill meats, fish, vegetables. The grills are not removable for dishwasher cleaning, but they aren't too hard to clean with the nonstick surfaces. The item seems substantially built. No complaints, quite pleased.

Enjoy the taste of grilled foods all year long with this easy-to-use countertop appliance. The unit provides 100 square inches of cooking surface for grilling summer vegetables or up to four burgers at a time, while its floating hinge accommodates thicker sandwiches or steaks. Unlike most grills that only go up to 400 degrees F, the searing grill quickly heats up to 500 degrees F for properly grilling steaks, capturing all the flavorful juices plus searing the meat with tantalizing grill marks. Most meats grill in 10 minutes or less, so dinner's ready in no time. The appliance's appeal lies not only in its simplicity and countertop convenience, but also in its fat-fighting ability. Its design channels fat away from food and into a large dishwasher-safe drip tray. Other highlights include a digital display, adjustable temperature controls, an illuminated sear button, a stay-cool handle, and a nonstick coating that ensures effortless food release and quick cleanup. The searing grill measures approximately 14 by 13-4/5 by 7-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Aroma AWK-116SB Stainless-Steel 2-Liter Electric Water Kettle Review

Aroma AWK-116SB Stainless-Steel 2-Liter Electric Water Kettle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Happy with the beautiful design and large size. Most electric kettles have smaller capacity. However, my previous Krups was faster. It takes a little too long to automatically shut-off from the time the water is boiling and I sometimes turn it off myself. It also takes longer than my old Krups to boil water (manufacturer says 1 minute per cup). On the other hand, the outside heats a lot less than other stainless steal kettles, and because of the design, you're less likely to get burned. The cord is long enough, but I don't worry about it because it's attached to the base, not to the kettle itself. Easy opening the lead (just press the top button), and the filter seems easy enough to replace. I would have given it 5 stars if it was heating and shutting off faster, but overall, I'm very happy with the product.

A useful kitchen or home-office companion, this electric kettle quickly brings up to 2 liters of water to a rolling boil. Simply press the push-button lid to fill at the sink, return the kettle to its 360-degree base, and flip on the power switch. Once the water inside has reached a full boil, the unit will shut off automatically for safety and peace of mind. Use boiled water from the kettle to make anything from hot tea, instant coffee, and hot cocoa to instant oatmeal, noodles, baby formula, and more. The cordless unit lifts off its power base and provides a generous stay-cool open handle and an elegantly curved drip-free spout for gracious serving. Other highlights include a water window with measuring marks, boil-dry protection, an easy-to-clean removable decalcification filter that keeps particles out of the water, and cord storage with a cord-length adjustment option to keep countertops looking tidy. The unit should be hand washed only and a user manual comes included. Beautifully housed in brushed stainless steel, the electric water kettle measures approximately 4-3/5 by 7-1/5 by 8-2/7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Even with a $1 price tag, this grill would be overpriced.
I received one as a Christmas gift and have used it once. That was enough for me!
First and foremost, the burgers are just too small. Think of them as more like burger crumbs.
But then you get to the clean up part...aargh! What a headache! With the tiny little holes and all the other little crevices, and it winds up taking hours to clean.
If I'm using a grill, I want quick and easy with minimal clean up.
