Chicago Metallic Professional Nonstick Bake N' Roast Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was very impressed with the performance of this pan.I have baked with other "silverstone" type pans that are readily available at mass merchandisers, but found I was replacing them due to warping and wear atleast twice a year. Not with the Chicago Metallic line!This pan cooksvery evenly.I noticed a difference immediately when I switched.Mycasseroles and especially my cakes came out better than with any previouspan. You will have to experiment when using it for the first or second timeto determine the temperature and time changes to make to the receipe.Ifound that the recommended time/temperature change worked well for me. Cleanup is very easy.I am so impressed with this pan that I am one by onereplacing all of my bakeware with the Chicago Metallic Professional line.

Staub Coq Au Vin Cocotte Review

Staub Coq Au Vin Cocotte

I absolutely love this pot! Not only is it beautiful it cooks evenly, browns food wonderfully and leaves a nice fond in the bottom of the pan. A bargain for the serious cook, or those that just want a superior pot for braising, roasting and stewing.

Product Description:
"Cocotte" in French means "casserole," but there are plenty of dishes that emerge delectably from this cast-iron French oven. Staub celebrates one of the most traditional French recipes - coq au vin, or chicken in wine - with a special version of its classic 6-quart cocotte. Released in an array of rich colors, this limited-edition piece comes topped by a gracefully sculpted, stainless-steel rooster - the "coq." Although the cocotte cooks up a perfect coq au vin, it's also an ideal choice for slow-cooked stews and soups, casseroles, and roasted chicken, as well as many other one-pot meals. Measuring 12 inches in diameter, the cocotte is constructed of durable cast iron with a black matte enameled interior and an enameled ceramic finish that extends to the pot and lid edges to prevent chipping. And with its decorative design, it serves as beautifully as it cooks.
Designed for oven or stovetop use, the cocotte features a smooth, heavy earthenware base that will never warp and can handle any cooking surface, including glass, induction, and convection. As with the pot itself, the handles and lid are cast iron (handles and lid knob do get hot, so use caution) for durability and even heat distribution and retention. The lid features self-basting spikes to continually redistribute juices back to the ingredients as they cook. The cast-iron cocotte doesn't need seasoning and, as cooking oils seep into the pores over time, will become self-seasoning. Oven-safe to 500

Steam Canner by Back to Basics - Home Steam Canning System Review

Steam Canner by Back to Basics - Home Steam Canning System

I've used my Back to Basics steam canner for 7 canning seasons. I've canned dozens of cases of peaches - note - not an acid food - and have not had a single quart jar fail to seal properly nor have I experienced any food spoilage.Tomato salsa, tomato sauses, chutneys, pickled pumpkin, pickled peppers, tomateos - all without any failure.Sure, I understand the government's concern.Big Brother just wants to make things idiot proof because they're so accustomed to working with other idiots - namely other government employees.If you buy this canner, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY.Remember, it's YOU who is responsible for proper use of this or any other product.
I understand Big Brother's concern about the steam temperature not reaching the boiling temperature necessary for killing spoilage organisms.I bought a long stemmed candy thermometer and drilled a hole to match the probes diameter about 3 1/2" in from the edge of the lid.Now when I can I ignore the steam venting from the holes near the bottom of the lid and instead start my canning time when the thermometer reads boiling temperature.Because I live at 5600 ft. I always adjust my canning times for altitude as well.Down side - I can't use the lid as a spagetti pot as the manufacturer suggest.No problem.
Today I canned 9 qts. of peaches and 6 pnts. of plum/peach chutney.All with my steam canner.It was most enjoyable!Speaking of joy, all of you canners should get yourselves a copy of Linda Ziedrich's book - The Joy of Pickling: 200 Flavor-Packed Recipes for All Kinds of Produce from Garden or Market. Well researched, well written and full of delicious recipes.
If it wasn't for the flimsy aluminum grip brackets I'd give this 5 stars.

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Wine Barrel Stave Chunks Review

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Wine Barrel Stave Chunks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These wood chips work great. The flavor of the oak was in our opinion superior to the more popular and readily available hickory and mesquite that you find at the supermarket these woods are overpowering for our tastes. We did not taste any hints of wine and was not expecting to. But it did have a mellower flavor than other oak wood that we have had in the past. The best thing about this brand is that the chunks are very uniform in size and burn equally making the estimate of how much you need very predictable. meaning you start with 5 chunks. see how it comes out and adjust the next time. To smokey for you- use 3 not smokey enough-use 7 the uniform size makes the guesstimate quite accurate. The other thing I like is the packaging. Yes-the packaging. Most wood come in bags and makes the storage of them a bit clunky. The boxes make good use of space and can be stored in camping bins and bbq boxes much more efficiently. We store 3 different flavors of wood in the same box and only pack the 1 box. Anyone who grew up with the same tetris like mentality should relate. We also like the woodchips for pork. and our favorite are the chips for seafood and veggies! The seafood and veggies chips are 5 star!!!!!

Manttra 39001 Chef-Xpress 8-Quart Stainless Steel Electric Multi-Cooker Review

Manttra 39001 Chef-Xpress 8-Quart Stainless Steel Electric Multi-Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I tried two of these ... returned the first due to a screw head from bottom heating element protruding not slightly ... but enough to crease the bottom of the stainless steel pot.Felt this could be a problem in the future for a pot that undergoes pressure.Also, this unit would not seal.Top did not fit bottom of pan, regardless of gasket.
Second unit I tried would, also, not even come close to sealing.Top turned too far and had to stand there and apply pressure to get my meal done.Luckily, could return this one also.Done with this model!!!
