All-American 21-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner Review

send me the money and I'll throw it away for you.I received my Grandmother's when she passed away and have more that pleased with it.I can't add anything the other reviews other that mine is over 30 year old it is in perfect shape.I've been told that my Grandmother sent 1000's of cans through this in her day and I intend to do the same.The company's web site is very good if you need replacement parts but I doubt you'll ever need them.I had my local Ag extension agent test my gauge (the original) and it is still accurate enough for canning.This is the only part that should ever really need replacing since it does not have a seal.I am fortunate enough to have the old school Instruction and Recipes book (list price ¢60) that has canning recipes that I have not been able to find anywhere else.Buy this and pass it on to your grandchildren!!!

Norpro 4 Quart 3 Piece Mini Steamer Cooker Set Review

Looks nice in the picture so I ordered it.When it arrived it looked great but the metal it is made out of is so thin I could not believe it.The steamer is very shinny ,tried it and it works well.It will be dented up in no time wish it were a little more thicker metal.Not worth the $29.95 I paid for it,more like $12.99.Look around spend your money on a better pot, this was made in India.

Chef's Secret 22-Piece Element Super Set Review

I've had this set for several years and absolutely love it.Clean-up is a breeze - and yes, I've burned things in these pots.Soaking the pan removes most of the burned-on food - an SOS or Brillo pad takes care of the rest.The lids can rest in the handles when you need them to - a feature I really like.The set also allows for stack cooking - a great help during the holidays!The waterless/greaseless method of cooking allows the natural flavor of foods to really pop.Don't add salt to vegetables - they will taste way too salty if you do.Try cooking corn on the cob in it - it comes out tasting like it's been salted AND buttered!Start out anything you cook on medium heat and then lower your temperature to medium low or low for the remainder of the cooking time.You should never have to use high heat ever again.Try stuffing a whole chicken with peppers and onions, throw in some potatoes and carrots, and you'll have one of the most wonderful meals ever - season the meat only.The leftovers make the best chicken soup ever!Or season a roast as you normally would, throw in peppers, onions, potatoes, carrots - the meat actually absorbs the pepper taste and it's great!I've never used this cookware in the oven, so can't attest to its ability to withstand external heat - the look of the handles seems to preclude oven use, though.Also, be aware that food cooks much more quickly in this cookware, so be careful to not overcook it.The longer you cook it after it's done, the less juice you'll have.

Wyndham House 12 Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set Review

update 1/29/09
I wish I could change the rating to a 4+. I was sceptical initially at not using non stick but this set has been really good to me for the last 6 months. I have been using it regulary and while a few scratches inside are inevitable, I have seen no dents and all the pots are in good shape. No burning, scorching the base either. In fact, I bought a second set as a gift to friend who also happens to love it! I am glad I got this set!

I am trying to be fair here, for a 12pc set under $40, it's not a bad deal!The shapes and sizes are varied which is convenient and they all have lids!
The quality is a different story, they're not very thick and have a tendency to dent & scratch easily and the base for all of them is not solid, it's encapsulated (and this is mentioned under product information). It works well under low to medium heat on the stove and I have used it for simmering soups, stews and other "wet" dishes. It works for stir fry and other dry dishes and if you are frequently stirring so you don't burn the base!
If you are used to non stick cookware(as I am)this takes a little longer to clean and a little soaking in warm soapy water helps!They do well in the dishwasher.
It just needs a little getting used to!

Silverstone by Farberware Culinary Colors 13-Piece Cookware Set, Red Review

I LOVE this cookware set.Water seems to boil faster than usual & other things seem to cook a little quicker.Especially with stuff like spaghetti, my cooking time has actually decreased.And, I don't have areas of the pan that burn worse than other parts like I've had with other cookware sets.Clean-up is also really easy.

There was one thing that I was VERY surprised about though.I'm someone who usually feels the heat (when touching the handles, for instance) more than other people seemto but with this cookware, I never have to use a hot pad.I don't know what the substance is that they have covering the handles but it's really nice to just be able to pull stuff off the stove & not worry about getting burned.

I recommend this cookware to everyone!

Product Description:
This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and fry pans (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect pancakes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich.
