Mongolian Hot Pot / Stainless Shabu Shabu Pot w/Strainers #Ypot110

Mongolian Hot Pot
I have been using mine for years There are many recipes online that you can make. Its all about cooking at the table. I have given several as presents and am about to buy another now.My friends are very happy when they get a repeat invitation.

Lower quality than imagined
My wife is Asian and we spotted this online. We enjoyed many meals in restaurants over in Asia using these at the table. Unfortunately, in comparison, this item is truly low, low quality. Very thin metal... So thin we kinda worry it will melt or suffer some once heat is applied .

To be fair, we have yet to use this item, but simply from a 'feel' standpoint we feel this is definitely NOT worth the money. Better to go to a specialty shop to see and 'feel' the utility before you buy.

Cooking & Serving Berber Tangia

Great cooking pot
I love this tagine, I've used it in the oven and bought a clay brazier to use it outside. Didn't try it on the stove with a diffuser, don't want it to break. It's a perfect size for 2-4 people, cleans easily inside, and cooks food really tender. Highly recommended!

Dissatisfied
This item was received the next day. I can't fault the merchant on shipping. It was as prompt as one could expect. Thought it helped that the distance between my home and the seller's location is less than 100 miles.

The above acknowledged, the product is inferior. I seasoned it as directed and cared for it in the recommended manner. Nowhere in the accompanying information was there made mention that the item should not be refrigerated to store what had been cooked in it. I used it 3 times and did refrigerate after taking care to bring the food it to room temperature. It sat on the counter for at least 3 hours.)

Upon finishing the dish the next day, I washed it as usual and didn't immediately notice anything unusual. Upon taking it out to use it several days later, I noticed there were several hairline cracks on the unglazed underside of the tangia. (The lid is glazed on both sides, however the outside of the bottom is not. Upon further examination, it...

Cooking the traditional way!
I love cooking with earthenware; it makes a huge difference for slow cooking. It also makes cooking in general so much more fun to have such beautiful, handcrafted, tradtional cooking vessels.

Old Mountain Cast Iron Preseasoned 3pc Skillet Set

Cheaply made
My wife recieved the 3 pan set from UPS the other day and when opened, it was found that the handle for the 10.5 inch pan was broke off. I cant believe that cast iron broke like that. It takes a pretty good impact to do that to cast iron. The packaging it came in was undamaged so it was shipped from the seller in that condition. I am a fan of cast iron, but i would not buy from this seller again because either the product is cheap or the dealers dont care for the product.

Cheap!!
We received an Old Mountain grill and I heard a loud sound and found it cracked the cast iron while cooking. I thought cast iron would not do this. I will not recommend Old Mountain to anyone.

Not too happy
I had one of this products, the small one which I use daily for making eggs. After in about 8 months, the bottom of the pan start to get a bit sticky and some metal flakes come out when I clean it. Looks like the 'layers' is not that good. I own 2 cast iron Lodge, I don't have any problems. It seems to me the 'embossed design' may have an effect to the practicality too. I hope the Chinese company does not just apply something cheap - it is going to be a waste (don't you think we need to 'safe our planet' anyway ?).

Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 4-1/2-Quart Saucepan with Glass Lid

The best I've ever used
I have a very complete set of Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware and it is fabulous. The quality and finish are superb. The handles are very securely attached with more rivets than the much more expensive All Clad cookware. The lids fit perfectly and the see-through tempered glass allows you to look inside to see if your water is coming to a boil without having to frequently lift the lid which allows heat to escape.

This 4 1/2 quart pot is just that: 4 1/2 quart capacity. Some lines of multi-clad cookware claim the pot or pan is a certain capacity, but it falls far short. Not Calphalon! If they say it's a 4 1/2 quart pot, you can count on it!

This pot has a loop-type "helper handle" opposite its main handle--a must when you get into a pot of this size. This makes it much easier and safer to move from the stove or to pour off hot liquids. Please note, this loop-style helper handle and the handles on the pot lids will get hot during stovetop cooking, so you'll...

Pantastic!
These pans are the best. I've collected just about all of them over the years and have one in every size and style available. I also have the Calphalon Commercial, Calphalon One and All-Clad pans - these Tri-Ply Stainless pans get the most use and are my all-time favorites.

Beautiful and Useful
It is the best pan i have ever used and is comparable to my All Clad in performace and looks. I bought the whole set and am very very happy with it. I cook a lot for my family and i think since i have started using try ply pots and pans, my cooking has improved furthermore even cooking and better browning.The handle does stay cool throughout cooking and cleaning is easy. I love it!

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 12-Inch Covered Omelet Pan

Decent at the price, but lightweight
I've used Calphalon's non-stick cookware since they first introduced it with the Professional and Commercial lines (since discontinued), so I was very interested to see how their new products worked out for me. This one, Calphalon Contemporary, falls in the middle of their current non-stick lineup.

Three things struck me as different right away. One was the inclusion of a tempered glass lid, a nice touch, and not usual on an omelet pan. The second was that the pan was a lot lighter than previous models. This is mostly bad, since with the highly heat-conductive metal they use, hot spots develop and things cook too rapidly. Conversely, as is the case with all thinner pans, the heated pan cools down too much when cold ingredients are added. Finally, the pan is notably deeper than most omelet pans, more similar to a chef's pan, which I found enjoyable since I don't have to be as careful to not slop my ingredients onto the stove-top.

For the promotional price...

Great Pan with Lid, Great Price.
Great Pan, Great Price.

I can't find anything wrong with this pan, or the 10inch Contemporary Omelet pan I have.

My other Cookware is Calphalon Commercial (two simply)

This Pan is deeper then most 12inch omelet pan's , which I find this makes this more useful then just for Omelets.

I have fried Potatoes in this.

I have sauted Chicken breasts, Hamburger meat, It can be used for pancakes, although I use the Calphalon double Griddle.

Great for the Large Omelets with Veggies, or just sauteing anything...

For me this has become a all around pan, and I do have every size Calphalon makes, I think!

Don't forget this can also go into the Oven, and cooks very even.

I have used this pan for everything for a couple of months, and I do NOT find that it has warped, or peeled , nothing wrong with this Pan, it still looks like new.

Also I have NEVER had any problems with my...

Best Pan Ever!!!
Wow, what a great pan...I know a lot of people think that this is a bad pan just because you can't shove it in the dishwasher, but I love cooking with it so much I actually look forward to hand washing it. The instructions to keep it in good shape are very common sense (don't put directly into fridge from hot stove, etc) and if people have had problems with this pan, it's probably because they aren't following the directions. It cooks very evenly and doesn't burn anything and the seal with the lid is so tight that you could easily steam vegetables. Just an awesome pan, can't wait to get the rest of the set that I'm registered for!!!

Cajun Cookware Skillets 12 Inch Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

great for the price and small spaces
I purchased this skillet for a gift to some British friends that the world in their sailboat. They had garbage for a skillet. I mailed the skillet to myself and shipped to them in England. They cooked often on it at home, but i have yet to hear how it fares on the sailboat. I'm sure it's wonderful, and they love it. The skillet was as true cast iron as I know it to be because it was very heavy. You simply shouldn't cook on anything else. The cast iron gets carbon buildup, which is all of the flavor. A "clean sparkly" skillet is one that won't flavor well and nothing conducts heat like cast iron. Additionally, you should never cook in high heat with anything but peanut oil. Other oils will burn and are potentially flamable at high temperatures. Use peanut oil to properly season your skillet and produce its true carbon coating by smoking it on high. You can probably find better detailed instruction on the net about how to do it, but it is simple enough and then just rinse and...

Speed bump!
I love cooking with cast iron. Apparently, this product was a "second"-- I was not aware of this when I purchased it. There is an iron "glob" in the middle of the cooking surface that makes it hard to flip food successfully. If it weren't for that, I would love this item.

Chicago Metallic Taco/bread Pan

Great pans, great deal!
Great product... makes excellent taco bowls. Adds a delicious and healthy choice to your menu. Bake the soft tortilla in the pan, fill with your favorite meat, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, salad dressing or salsa and enjoy!

Makes Great Taco Salad Bowls! !
The Chicago metallic taco/bread pan works great! We use it several times a week for making edible salad bowls. We like using the large burrito size tortillas which we have found in different flavors like wheat, roasted tomato and multi-grain.

Great item to cook with!
Very easy to use, oil it, 350 @ 10 minutes. This is great for taco salad shells and I also use it for queso dip as well. Plus this at the time $16.38 for two. I seen the as seen on TV ad for this, searched Amazon found it over two dollars cheaper here, plus free shipping (Amazon Prime). On TV it was listed at $19.99 plus $8.95 for shipping and handling. Makes a crispy taco bowl for salads and queso in my case!

Cameron Cookware CR Chile Roasta Stainless-Steel 16-Hole Chile Rack

Specialized Cooking/Grilling Product with Delicious Results
I saw a similar product in a gourmet kitchen supply catalog but had trouble justifying the $50 price tag. This version is less than half the cost and accomplishes the same task.

Looking for some new food to grill? Use this chile holder on the grill and stuff the peppers with anything and everything -- cheddar cheese with crumbled cooked bacon, cream cheese with cooked chorizo bits, jack cheese with garlic and teaspoon of salsa -- fill the chile with egg, onion and cheese. Endless possibilities. The chile holder also works well in the oven.

A unique gift for a chile lover or grill master. Anyone with the slightest interest in the product won't be disappointed in the purchase.

Calphalon Professional Nonstick II 8-Inch Omelette Pan

Another great Calphalon pan
This pan is perfect for me. I have a 12 inch skillet from Calphalon, and its a wonderful pan as well, but it's a hassle to break that thing out every time I want eggs for breakfast or want to saute a few veggies for dinner. I have been looking for a smaller pan like this for a while, and the one thing I saw with a lot of other 8-inch omelet pans was that they were very light. This pan is thick and heavy enough to retain heat when food is put in, but not too heavy to be cumbersome. The nonstick surface is great as well - food releases with ease, and cleanup is a snap. Don't get fooled by other brands that are just a piece of sheet metal with teflon on them - you'll be looking for a new one in 2 months. This pan is a great buy at this price, and in my opinion Calphalon cookware is head and shoulders above it's competition.

Nice pan, non stick, very small
If you are looking for a small non-stick pan for eggs for one big or two small eaters, this is a nice pan. If you have a family this pan is most likely far too small to suit your needs

The surface is truly non-stick. This pan is great for making omelets, or frittatas, which is all it is used for in my home due to its diminutive size. The pan will hold up fine in the oven, which is where I finish my frittatas.

If you own one of the Calphalon sets, there will be probably be a lid in your home that fits this pan (which I have found useful). This little skillet is the perfect size for making one burger which is where the lid comes in handy.

In order to maintain the non-stick surface I place circles of felt between my pans to keep them from scraping together. This seems to work fine in my kitchen for those pans that are stored inside each other.

Overall, I give this pan 5 stars because it is exactly what it is advertised to be, a non-stick 8...

Great small skillet
I'm a fan of Caphalon and when I decided to replace my 7" skillet with an 8" one I immediately looked to the Professional series of Calphalon with a non-stick interior. I have not been disappointed. This is a nice size for two people whether it be an omelette or using it for prep work for another dish. It has a heavy gauge body and conducts the heat well. The non-stick surface is great for easy clean-up. The sides are high enough so stirring food is not an issue. I was slightly concerned about the configuration of the handle--my other ones are solid and this one is turned metal and open on the bottom. The edges near where it is attached to the pan seemed like they might be sharp but now that I've used the pan for a month or more this is not a problem.The handle does not get hot. I would highly recommend this omelette pan if you are looking for the 8" size.

Cuisinox Electra Induction 11 Inch Non-stick Frypan

This pan does not work well
I bought two of these pans (11" and 8") for my daughter to use with her new induction cooktop as she wanted a non-stick frypan in addition to the other new induction pans she purchased. These pans take forever to heat up and even then, don't heat well. She was cooking something in this pan on the burner next to another induction fry-pan (different brand, not non-stick), and this one was just starting to get warm, when the items were already finished cooking in the other pan!!! This does not work and I certainly don't recommend it!! I hope I can return them, although we're beyond the timeframe because it was a gift.

Good pan, but not for induction
This is a well-made pan, but the claim that it's useable for induction cooking is a stretch. The induction plate on the bottom is very thin and it transfers heat poorly. Yes it "works" for frying a couple of eggs, but if you need lots of heat, forget it.

Cooking
Great product! Even better than the one I had as a cowboy in Montana. I do not cook beans in the new one though.

In the past I purchased these at Wal-Mart. A great skillet. They no longer carry them, having gone to "Paula Deen" (tm) cookware. I would buy this skillet again and again.

Not ceramic coated.
Thought that Starfrit only made ceramic coated pans. Obviously not. This is a polymer coated pan. Probably a decent pan if you're into polymer non-stick.

Berndes Coquere Induction 2-1/2-Quart Saucepan

Doesn't work
Will not work on my Burton 6000. May be due to a small non-magnetic circle in bottom.

Great Product
I bought this and it works on my Kenmore Elite induction single burner or it works on electric stovetop. It is nicely made and a great buy if you want one of these Berndes sauce pans at a cheap price. I am glad I bought it. The product is good. I rate it for a nicely made pan and not by what it would work on and would not but everyone needs to know I suppose what product you can use it on. It was shipped fast and safely wrapped.

Berndes Coquere Induction 2 1/2 qt saucepan.
Have used other Berndes products on our old gas stove. Just purchased a Kitchenaid
Induction cooktop. It will NOT work on the Kitchenaid. Gave it to a friend who has a
Thermador Induction cooktop. It DOES work on it and she LOVES it. Loved Berndes

Thunder Group IRJWC002 Japanese Wok, 16-Inch

Not a Japanese wok, it's a Taiwanese wok of very poor quality
Bought this because I thought it was a cast iron Japanese wok. It in fact was made in Taiwan. I seasoned it and a rough uneven coating began peeling all over the wok. This coating may not be healthy to have in food cooked in it. That is precisely why I wanted a JAPANESE wok, not a TAIWANESE wok. I was able to find a Japanese company that makes cast iron woks, and seasoned it in the same mannner. It seasoned beautifully, evenly, with no peeling. Tiger Chef definitely mislead me into thinking I was getting a Japanese wok because they are selling it as "Japanese Wok" and providing no information on where it was made, so consumers think it is made in Japan, when in fact it is not. Very disappointed in the wok, and very disappointed in the company for misleading me. I am looking for the receipt to return it. Probably cost a lot to return such a large, bulky item.

Awesome
They sent me the wrong order at first but immediatley sent me the Wok and I did not have to pay to return the other item.
I would buy one for my friends.

Mediocre craftmanship
The lid is extremely well designed- love it. The size of the pot is nice, and the non stick surface works well, but I have had it for a little more than a month and the handle has already become wobbly. It is tightenable with a screwdriver, but it happened way too quickly, and seems to need regular tightening. Not very impressed!

keeping the food out of the drippings.
Happy Cooking!!!

Do NOT buy this product
My Complaints

1. I did not receive the pan I originally ordered. (It looks different from the picture in the purchase page, same brand though.)

2. The pan was dented when it arrived. I accepted this fact to avoid the long and predictible process of exchanging via snail mail.

3. The pan itself started to RUST on the main surface after only a few uses... Wow... Poor Poor Poor Product.

Why would I buy such a brand at such a price knowing this could likely happen? Who knows, I could have easily purchased bakers secret for a few dollars more. At least I have experience with their pans.

Avoid if you can.
