Paderno World Cuisine 12-Inch Non-stick Chinese Wok - PTFE & PFOA-FREE



Disappointment
This was a great pan the first few times I used it for sautéed vegies. Then I used it to sauté and sear hamburg style meat, I used a wooden spoon to to stir and the finish started to come off the wok. Now the finish is ruined after a single use.

Not so great
Sometimes you luck out and get more than what you paid for, but not in this "wok" - it sticks.. I still use it, but I expected more from "non-stick".

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 ?).

Bunzlauer Polish Pottery 2-Quart Rectangular Baker, DU60 Design



Arrived Broken
Very disappointed with amazon. The item's very beautiful but I received it in pieces.. I wish they could have packaged the item properly and not in a big box with a lot of space and not enough protective layer. I ordered this with a number of Bunzlauer Polish pottery all of which are broken when it arrived :-(

perfect potluck dish
I made my signature hot dip recipe for a potluck and everyone commented on the beautiful dish. What a showstopper!

Instantly addicted to Bunzlauer...
This just arrived and far exceeded my expectations. Without mentioning names, lately I've been gravely disappointed with the ceramic/stoneware that I've seen in places where higher quality would be the norm. Amazon comes through again (not surprisingly) with this heirloom piece that I will be able to use forever--unless I purposely break it. For the record, it was only packed in bubble wrap and rolled around the large Amazon box as I accepted it from the carrier--this worried me. Alas, whomever packed this must know how sturdy it is. I'm usually one to buy Le Creuset (whose quality has only dropped marginally since its inception) and bought the Polish "rectangular baker" on impulse. Though there are no reviews, the item was listed as low inventory--which I consider to be a silently positive review of an item...

Needless to say: presently I will be looking for more Bunzlauer. For anyone with even a vague sense of aesthetic will find themselves feeling exulted by the...

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!
