KitchenAid Gourmet Essentials 12-Piece Hard-Anodized Cookware Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cookware and Baking
from: KitchenAid


Love the quality of the cookware. Easy to cook with and cleanup is wonderful. My only minor disappointment is that they are somewhat smaller than my other cookware, but since there are only 2 of us it doesn't really matter.

Lodge Color Enameled Cast-Iron 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cookware and Baking
from: Lodge

July 15, 2007
I bought this Lodge Dutch Oven because it was recommended by Cooks Illustrated and for the color. It is beautiful, but was disappointed upon opening to see that it was made in China. This fact needs to be made prominent in the Product Features or Product Details. It is insufficient to bury this information in the Product Description. There are plenty of people, including myself, that do not want to buy products, especially cookware, made in China.

It's a good product, but it cook faster than the info tells you to and you do need a propane tank.

I bought this as a gift for my husband last Christmas, and he loved it. However, it cracked within six months, so I'm now seeking a replacement, will not repurchase this brand.

Lodge Logic Pro 20-by-10-7/16-Inch Cast-Iron Grill/Griddle

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cookware and Baking
from: Lodge Logic


I've had this griddle for about 2 months now. This is my first cast iron piece and I'm quite impressed by the quality from Lodge Logic. I was introduced to the brand from early seasons of Alton Brown's Good Eats program.

Cast iron is great for grilling meats because it can retain and distribute heat evenly. Love the sound of meat searing and grill marks? Look no further. It's also excellent for pancakes, bacon, and eggs. All you need is a little bit of grease on top to prevent sticking and reduce cleanup. I either use a small pad of butter or cooking spray, depending on what's cooking.

The size is ideal for my kitchen stove top, as it can sit on top of and receive heat from two burners. You might want to measure the separation ... Read More:

Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan

I followed the advice of the other commenters and used my giant cupcake pan tonight for the first time. Sprayed pan with PAM for baking, measured 4 cups of batter for each side - cooked the bottom for 10 min and then added the batter for the top and baked for another 37min. It baked very nicely and I trimmed the top of the bottom and the bottom of the top and used frosting to put the 2 pieces together. For a non-baker I felt this was easy to use and curious how my co-workers will like it (I baked it for baby shower at work). I used 2 boxes of cake mix and it made one giant cupcake and 12 regular sized cupcakes. Oh to make it lower fat I substituted oil with unsweetened apple sauce.

Norpro Mini Cheesecake Pan

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cookware and Baking
from: Norpro

November 08, 2004
I love cheesecakes but they can be sort of heavy and intimidating, especially these days when everyone seems to be dieting. And when you slice them, they can get very messy looking.

I bought two of these cheesecake pans and they solve the above problems! You end up with a perfect neat serving amount and the petite rounds make the cheesecake very appealing and not heavy-seeming at all. They only take 15 minutes to bake (l turned off the oven and left them in for an extra five) and release easily. Now I'm casting about for what else I can bake in these pans because people do like the individual serving size and the cute shape. Good product.

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron 8-Inch Skillet

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cookware and Baking
from: Lodge Logic


I hated my mother's cast iron skillet, it was so big and heavy, but she had to feed a family of nine. Now I am getting reaquainted with cast iron, and wish I hadn't stayed away so long. The 8" is perfect for me, not so much heavy, as solid. Heats pretty quick, clean up and care is simple. I have left teflon on the burner before and am not surprized that the horrid smell is also toxic. I'd rather have the added iron in my diet instead of teflon or alluminum. It's easy to see why Lodge has stood the test of time, quality and affordability together are hard to find! Quick shipping too! Two forks up!

Bialetti Moka Express 3-Cup Stovetop Percolator

Since I'm Italian I can claim a good experience in moka coffee.
There's nothing wrong with this one, you cannot expect the same quality as espresso. Using good coffee beans, well ground and packing it right you'll have a good coffee. Just a matter of pratice. Remember: you don't need soap to wash it, keep the fire far from the handle and change the O-ring periodically.

T-Fal Initiatives 10-Piece Nonstick Inside and Out

from: T-Fal


I love this set, truly nothing sticks to it EXCEPT whatever juices burns around the metal surface or bottom of the pan duing a spill over, this is the part that is not "non-stick" leaving my pots looking cheap and really really used! Still don't know how to get it off with out stratching the pots!
