Reed & Barton Silver-plated 2-Quart Round Covered Casserole



Attractive and Functional
I was given this same casserole as a wedding gift almost 25 years ago and I needed another one so I recently purchased this one on Amazon. I've used this casserole at home for special dinners, holidays and I've also used this casserole to carry dishes to parties or other dining events. It's very attractive and will hold a casserole or anything you would normally bake in a 2qt. casserole dish. It will need polishing every now and then and since it's silver-plated, don't use anything that will scratch it or remove the plating. Store it in a box with with tissue paper to help retard tarnishing between uses if you don't like to polish on a regular basis.

Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel Nonstick 6 Quart Deep Saute Pan
Love everything about this pan. The color (chocolate) is a prefect match to my appliances. The cooking surface is perfect for anyone that doesn't like to spend time scrubbing pans. The nonstick surface is perfect. Very even cooking surface.Couldn't ask for better.

Nordicware 21263 12" Saute Pan Nonstick



High quality, versatile
I am really impressed by this pan. I need at least a 12 inch pan as I have two hard anodized saute pans that I loved but at 8/10" were too small. The price was right and it is BIG. I think the label actually says 12.5 inches. But works for me. The construction is sturdy, and it's very easy to clean - even if I've let it sit. (I don't have a dishwasher.) So it's deeper and wider than most saute pans but for me that was a bonus. I'll use it most for pan frying and it would also be fantastic for stir fry if you don't have a wok.

High Quality
This is well-made and attractive. It is sturdy and the hooks that come with it stay nicely in place. Exactly what I wanted for my kitchen.

Old Mountain Pre Seasoned 10112 8 Quart Dutch Oven with Dome Lid and Spiral Bail Handle



Poorly cast
Cast iron pot is acceptable for its price. Poorly cast, rough, thin and uneven. It would not be useful for cooking. I would not have bought this if I had seen it first.

pot
This pot was just much too heavy for me. I gave it to my son. Maybe if it had a different handle it might have been easier. I gave it a 3 because it's a good pot just too heavy for me.

Spode Baking Days Black Rectangular Handled Bake and Serve Dish



Love the Quality and the Look!
Honestly, I bought this dish because I love black & white and I love polka dots. But I have been so pleased with its performance. It's the heaviest, nicest large baking dish I have owned in terms of even heat, holding heat, and presentation.

Adorable
Love this dish. Was a gift for a wedding shower and a huge hit. Great quality. Adorable spots and great weight to dish. Nice size. I would buy more. Worth the price.

NEW LARGE 12-INCH BAMBOO STEAMER 2-TIER



Poor quality, poor customer service
Our old bamboo steamers finally gave way, we took the plunge and order 2 sets. Unlike our beloved old steamer, these steamers do not sit properly in the wok because they are not that round. Steam escapes between the layers, so the vegetables remain uncooked. We love our old bamboo steamers from day one to to this day, they still give off that pleasant bamboo smell. These do not smell at all. The bamboo steamers we received are not like those in the picture, they were stapled together, not held together by bamboo strings.

Customer service did not allow us to return because it has been used. All over amazon, customers return items after using them. We sent a second email, waited 2 days and no reply. Luckily we only used one set, whatever it is, the unused set is going back.

12-inch Bamboo Steamer
This works fine but the size is really intended for "restaurant" quantity cooking and it will only fit over the largest of your pans. The quality if nice and it was shipped quickly.
