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.

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.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Staub Coq Au Vin Cocotte

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
Average Reviews:

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!!!!!

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!!!

Got a fantastic deal on this with FREE SHIPPING. Whoo-Hoo! (This thing weighs a ton.)
Well made and solid. It does have a tendency to list a bit (off balance) when lifted by the handle (assuming you could, in fact, lift it when full).

This works great on open fires, grill, gas and electric burners, and especially our induction cooktop. I can cook corn on the cob for a whole party (and have on numerous occasions). Its great for gobs of chili too.

Haven't used it for deep frying. Too much oil to fill it (i.e., haven't had the need yet).

Nordic Ware Kettle Smoker Indoor / Outdoor Cooker Review

Nordic Ware Kettle Smoker Indoor / Outdoor Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I grew up in Texas, and I know good BBQ.And the best (and IMHO, ONLY) way to cook BBQ is "low and slow" - cook at low temperatures and for long periods of time.You have to be patient to cook good BBQ.You have to get the internal meat temperature to hit 185 degrees in order to break down the fats to make the meat (beef) tender, and if the temperature is too high it over-cooks and can dry out the outer layers.And my, and my kids, favorite BBQ is slow smoked beef ribs.We have an outdoor BBQ that makes awesome ribs.The trouble is that now that I live in northern California (not a decent Texas style BBQ place anywhere), the winters are rainy, wet and a little cold.So when I came upon this indoor smoker I was cautiously enthusiastic.While the concept looked sound, the real issue is with the wood chips.I was afraid that in such a small cooker the wood chips would all burn up within the first hour or so, basically leaving the meat to slow roast for several hours.But at only about $70 I thought, what the heck I'll give it a try.Even though this product/seller wasn't listed as Prime 2-day shipping, the product arrived very fast - within a week. It came full assembled - all I had to do was insert the thermometer - which is a CRUCIAL part to slow smoking.So I washed the parts, put double the recommended amount of hickory shavings (almost saw dust consistency) in the bottom and loaded the meat tray with my overnight-rubbed beef ribs and some beef oxtails that I happened upon in my local Safeway.I put it on my electric stove and set the control to Medium.Here's a difference - the instructions call for "medium high" heat to start - I used medium because I didn't want it to get too hot too soon and burn up all the wood chips too early.It worked great.** Don't forget to turn on your exhaust fan over your stove!While it doesn't give off enough smoke to see, you can really smell it and it can be a little overwhelming, permeating your whole house. **Also, please look at where the temperature probe sticks down into the cooking area and make sure that you keep your meat away from it so that when you put on the lid the probe isn't touching any meat.It took about 1 hour for the temperature to get up to 180 degrees, and at that point I turned down the stove to med-low.In another hour it was up to 200 degrees.I left it there for 2.0 hours and then turned up the stove 1/2 mark closer to medium.The temperature rose to 210 degrees where I left it for the final 2 hours.So the complete cooking cycle looked like: 1 hour warm up, 1 hour at 190, 3 hours at 200, and 2 hours at 210.Also note that during the transition between 200 to 210 degrees I turned it up to Medium for about 3-4 minutes to have it create some additional smoke.I did this as a test - and this was how I learned that there were still good chips left that could create additional smoke.Please also note that smoke is being created at the lower settings but it is just too low to see.Your nose is the proof.
All stoves are different, especially gas versus electric, so you'll have to learn how yours reacts as you go.I was lucky in that my very first BBQ worked to perfection.All of the meat was melt-in-your mouth tender, and the smoked flavor was perfect.Now I can smoke meats any time I want and way more frequently because this thing is small and so easy to use.Please line the drip pan with heavy duty aluminum foil!Even though it is non-stick, that melted fat is always hard to clean off.The meat tray is also non-stick and cleaned very easily.The bottom piece and the bottom of the drip pan were another story - these took a little more effort, but WAY worth it.Another pre-concern I had was the amount of meat it would hold.It is definitely smaller than any outdoor smoker, but again I was pleasantly surprised.This thing cooks enough meat (beef) for two meals for myself and two kids.One good sized chicken should fit, too.All-in-all, an awesome product.If and when this thing ever wears out I will definitely buy another one.Indoor, slow smoked BBQ any time of the year!

Chaplin Bar Style Popcorn Machine in Black Review

Chaplin Bar Style Popcorn Machine in Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I agree with Dr Robin: this is a piece of junk.The gears do not mesh properly and the design of the cooker is so bad that a dead frog could pop corn better.The gears skipped almost always, and when I held the cooker so they didn't skip the machine still would not pop 4 ounces of corn.The corn gets stuck, impacted, and burnt and afterward had to be pried out of the cooker with a lot of effort.

Rather than try returning it, I took it on as a fix-up project.I moved the main motor over one third of an inch and that fixed the gear problems, which tells me the problem should not have existed in the first place had any thought gone into it.

Then I replaced the flip lids on the cooker with lighter weight material that would let the popped corn out easier.After much trial and error, I finally got the popper so it worked with two ounces of corn.Much more and it still failed miserably.

Even in the best cases, the popped corn in the cooker pushed out half of the un-popped kernels. A bad design all around and obviously never tested.I recommend avoiding this and any related product.Personally, I'm also putting Discount Tommy on my "avoid-at-all-cost" list for endorsing and selling this.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Granite Ware 4 Quart Stockpot with Steamer Insert

Product Description:
A versatile and handy 4 quart stock pot with steamer insert. Columbian's technology for applying porcelain creates a durable, chip resistant product that will last most families a lifetime.The glass-like surface does not interact with or alter the taste of food, and even the most stubborn foods clean up easily. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won't burn and resists staining. It's also non -porous so it won't trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction - meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time.When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.

Shark Roadster Canister Vacuum -Ep722 - (Power Pet) Factory Serviced Review

Shark Roadster Canister Vacuum -Ep722 - Factory Serviced
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We needed a new vacuum and my wife was out of town, so I decided to buy one. (It is important to note that I am a 6 foot, 220 lb male,an engineer, and very detail oriented so my criteria might be different in judging a vacuum than the average housewife's.) Also, we use the Hoover steam and vac regularly to steam clean our carpets but we still need a vacuum to vacuum the carpets. We also take our shoes off before we come in the house.We are not fanatics, but we have small children and don't want them to be sick unnecessarily.

We had borrowed a friend's upright vacuum and before we returned it, we wanted to change the bag and the Hepa Filter in order to return it in better shape than we borrowed it. I was surprised to see the bag and filter cost over $30, even though the new Vacuum cost only $99, so I decided that was 1 vacuum cleaner I could do without and that vacuums that needed bags were basically a scam to get you to buy the bags and filters.

Therefore, I was looking for
1) a vacuum that did not deliver the dirt it picked up into the air.
2) a vacuum that did not require bags
3) a vacuum that sold for less than $200.

I went to Target and saw the Euro-Pro ep722 and it looked like it satisfied the requirements. Hepa filter, bagless and about $99. I bought it and took it home to test it, with the idea that if it too was some sort of gimmick, I would return it immediately. That was about 2 years ago. My wife loves this vacuum and I like it because the air coming out of the vacuum is clean, it cleans the floor really well.

WE BRUSH OFF THE FILTER EVERY TIME WE USE IT.The first time I used it, it picked up so much dust that the filter clogged and the motor overheated and shut off. I realized that the filter was trapping the dust most vacuums deliver into the air and therefore the filter had to be cleaned. Since then, the motor has not overheated. We wash the filter after about every 4 uses and we have purchased 2 replacement filters. This vacuum has been used once a week for two years to clean a 2 bedroom, 2 bath house and it still works like new. Occasionally we have a housekeeper come over to clean the house and she really likes this vacuum also because it is lightweight and does not spit dust into the air. The one negative aspect of this vacuum is the emptying of the dust cup; we take the entire vacuum outside next to the trash to do this because the dust tends to go everywhere. Even though this is not desireable, it is better than the dust remaining on the floor in the house where most vacuums leave it. We then wash the plastic dust cup in the sink to remove the dust that electrostatically remains on the plastic.

The question a buyer of a vacuum cleaner must ask himself is "What do you want in a vacuum cleaner?" If you want a vacuum that picks up the dust and dirt, you must ask yourself how you intend to dispose of the dust once you collect it and how much you are willing to spend to do it.
