13 Pc Lock and Drain Non Stick Cookware Set Red



Needs a safer non stick coating
I had a blue set of these and I loved the lock and drain feature! Wish they would update these with a safer non stick coating. I only hand wash all my dishes and the coating was still coming off even though I never used any metal on these pans, Also the outside paint was chipping off. I love the concept of the locking lid. Please use a safer non stick coating and upgrade your painting process. I miss the the set but not wanting to eat Teflon with my food. Thanks...

Nice set
I have owned this set for 7 years, (it wasn't in red though) and it works great!
I would purchase this again.

16 QT STAINLESS STEEL (COMMERCIAL GRADE NSF) STOCK POT W/ LID



No-Name Chinese Pots "Winco"
I owned two different models of pots for my commercial use. the first ones were Italian-made, decent quality. the other ones crummy Cheapo Chinese ones. I will use the Italian ones purchased at Costco as a basis for comparison to these pots.

This product's dimensions are 10Hx11.5Wx15.5W (with handles). They each weigh in around 7 Lbs. with lids. The pot, without the lid weighs around 6.2Lbs. They each weigh slightly less than my Italian pots without lids on. The handles, on these Chinese pots, are 10 point spot-welded rather than the rivet/bolted attachment on the Italian ones. I hope they will hold up, they seem sturdy, but it remains to be seen. The handles are nice and wide, wire-type, solid stainless steel. The pots and the handles have a good balance and feel to them overall. The seem slightly lighter gauge than the Italian pot's wire type handles.

The aluminum conduction plate on one of them was improperly cast and has left a slight dent in the bottom of...

Victorinox 6" Forged Boning Knife



a good knife at a good price
I've had this knife so long maybe they aren't making so many of these straight handled versions anymore? Most of what comes up in a search these days for Victorinox 'boning' or 'filleting' knife will have a very curved ergonomic handle. I own and have worked with both types of handle styles and my preference often comes down to the specific task it's designed for; I have to say this straight handled model has served me well for years.

This knife is very comfortable - the straight handle helps me get a good solid grip on the knife to work cleanly and precisely, for example when deboning a chicken. Admittedly even after watching dozens of how-to videos on you tube my technique is still terrible but the knife does all the work - very sharp, flexible, and shaped to be accurate so all that's left when I'm done are the bare bones.

Most of my knives play the "all purpose" role at some point; the beauty of novice ownership of something is that you broaden its destiny by...

10" Springform Cake Pan with a Glass Base



cooking marvelous is NOT
The pan is less than good in quality. The supplier cooking marvelous.co.uk is less than poor in shipping skills. The first one arrived in a dented torn box. My first impression was that the box was not large enough to cushion a glass pan or strong enough to stand up to shipping with other packages. My impression proved right. When I opened the box I found a dented and creased rim on the pan. I contacted cooking marvelous and told them about the problem and explained that I thought the dent happened because the box was below adequate. A second pan was shipped. However, it was shipped in an identical too small and too weak box. I opened it to find a dented rim. However, since the pan is below standard material I pressed the dent out and will try using the pan. It leaks when filled with water. I am hoping that a cheesecake crust being somewhat slid will seal the pan and keep it from leaking. If I lookfor other suplies through Amazon, I will not order from cooking marvelous.
