Mauviel Cuprinox Style 9.4-Inch Round Copper Frying Pan Review

I felt so guilty about spending the money on this when I first placed the order, and yet I was getting sick to death (perhaps literally) of Teflon pans, of skillets (even stainless steel ones) "Made in China" that seemed to impart weird flavors to my morning bacon and eggs, et al.The vague feelings of guilt persisted -- until the pan arrived and I started using it.This is wonderful cookware: it uses a substantially lower flame for cooking than other skillets I have, it cooks with amazingly even distribution of heat, and -- this was one of my biggest concerns -- it cleans very easily, I've experienced little difference between cleaning this and cleaning Teflon skillets.So, the comparable Teflon-coated skillet I once used has now been cheerfully tossed into the trash.True: few of us can afford a whole line of Mauviel Cuprinox, but really you should have at least one of these in your kitchen; I feel much safer cooking my food in it, and ultimately it's a lifetime investment.

Demeyere Atlantis 3.2 Quart Saucepan with Lid Review

I expected a 3.2 quart saucepan, but I got the double handled casserole instead.I actually like it better, it takes up less room in the drawer and nests beautifully with the 2.3 quart pot. Now my demeyere "collection" is complete at two pots and a controlled induction skillet.Works perfectly on the induction side of my Viking glass top range.I really like the induction cooking.Very quick to heat and no sticking on the cooktop, since the induction part of the top itself never gets "hot".The pot itself is a thing of beauty, almost an art piece, but it is heavy.The lid is well formed and fits perfectly. The cookware itself is not as heavy as cast iron cookware but it is substantial.Very high quality, but for the priced it should be!I would recommend this cookware to anyone who has an induction cooktop.Well worth getting in my view.

Bonjour 2 Quart Stainless Steel Teakettle with Copper Bottom Review

I love this teakettle! We drink a lot of tea at our house, so this is used everyday. It's a heavy weight, beautifully designed kettle and I hope to have it around for many, many years to come.

The only thing it's missing is a whistle. I tend to wander off and do other things rather than sitting and watching the water boil. This means I now have to set a clock timer that beeps once and I better hear it or I'm in trouble! The kettle comes with a warning that due to it's superior heat retention, you can not overboil it as it may fuse to the top of your glass cooktop (which I have). So, BonJour- how about creating a whistle you can stick into the neck when you use it? Send it to those of us who have already purchased your product as a gift and start putting one inside the boxes of future purchases. That or at least sell one as an accessory for the kettle.

And one more thing- packaging. I know it's cheaper to use cellophane tape to hold the lid onto the kettle for shipping, but it leaves sticky residue on the gorgeous stainless steel. This isn't a cheap product, and the cellophane tape screams WALMART. Use something with less mess, like s strip of stretch wrap, that looks worthy of being on a pricey teakettle.

Paula Deen Signature 12-pc. Stainless Steel Cookware Set Review

I was going to get the KitchenAid stainless set, since it was highly rated by Consumer Reports. I was going to, that is, until I saw this set in Target next to it.

The copper is gorgeous and something you usually only see on much more expensive sets. Something important you must do when you get them out of the box is soak them in a baking soda solution for 20 min to get the copper ready for heat.

The pots are stainless inside and out, while the pans are nonstick. I personally like this, but also wish it came with, or gave the option to buy, a stainless pan.

I bought this set along with the 12 inch pan. The wooden utensil sets are also very attractive and I got them too.

I'm upgrading from my first $40 Wal-Mart set of pots and pans, and I couldn't be happier. I need to find a place to hang them in my kitchen, they're too pretty for the cabinet!

Old Dutch 36x18" Oval Pot Rack Review

This pot rack is a heavy duty iron pot rack with a large storage capacity.When it arrived, I could barely lift the package by myself.Working together with my father-in-law, we had it assembled and installed in about an hour using a screw driver and pliers (not included).The assembly instructions were clear, so we had no goof-ups.I've got my pot rack mounted over an island that divides my kitchen from my dining room, where it provides a good visual separation of the two areas without blocking communication between them.It also has excellent storage capacity- -it holds all of my cooking pots and frying pans as well as their lids.I keep some of my extra-large bowls in the rack on top.
Since I'm only 5' 2", I get quite annoyed with most kitchen cabinets because they all seem to be too high to be of any use to me.But with this pot rack, the pots all hang down where I can reach them, yet they're still high enough so that my 6' tall husband can work at the island counter beneath the pots and not bump his head.To reach items on the top rack, however, I need to get a chair because it's about 7' off the ground.If the rack were hung any lower, then the hanging pots would get in the way of the counter, so you really need at least an 8' ceiling to use this rack properly.
I've been quite satisfied with the quality of this pot rack.The price was about a quarter of the one that our kitchen designer had originally selected for us.I can't imagine what extra features the luxury brand might have brought us because I don't see where this one has cut corners in looks or sturdiness at all.

Mauviel Cuprinox Pour La Table 10.4-Inch Round Frying Pan with Bronze Handle Review

I am still relatively new to good kitchen ware and how to use them.I learned very quickly that this pan requires a low amount of heat compared tomy other older aluminum pans and spaces the heating around the whole pan.I found this pan great for making a large amount of steaks and for making a wine sauce after wards and is great for sautee ( I love making a white wine butter sauce with this pan, with shallots).I somehow left cloud shaped patterns of white hazing on the top of the pan - probably from misuse and lack of knowledge.

Mauviel-Cuprinox Extra-Thick 2-1/2 mm 10-1/2-Inch Round Frying Pan Review

I purchased this to be used exclusively as an omlet pan. It is a bit heavy, but perfectly balanced. The copper conducts heat evenly up through the sides of the pan. Not only is it perfectly functional it is beautiful hanging on my pot rack. I chose this brand because I refuse to cook on tin or aluminum and this is stainless steel lined. PERFECT!!!! I am looking to add more Mauviel products to collection.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Mauviel-Cuprinox Extra-Thick 2-1/2 mm 10-1/2 Inch Round Frying Pan

Product Description:
This Mauviel Cuprinox frying pan features an extra-thick 2.5 mm copper exterior (0.5 mm thicker than the Cuprinox Style line), making it a favorite of chefs who value conductivity in their cookware. Copper is an unsurpassed cooking material known for its ability to heat rapidly on the burner and cool nearly as quickly when removed (it's twice as conductive as aluminum). The 10.2-inch frying pan performs particularly well when browning meats or sauteing vegetables, as its wide, flat bottom efficiently absorbs heat. The pan also features shallow, sloped sides for easier turning when mixing up stir-fries or scrambles. Style-conscious chefs will appreciate the pan's reddish-brown façade, which brightens up the dullest of kitchens.
In addition to its copper exterior, Mauviel Cuprinox cookware includes a thin layer of stainless steel on the interior of each pan. The stainless surface cleans easily and doesn't impart metallic or other off flavors, as copper typically does when interacting directly with foods. The cookware also offers durable cast-iron handles with stainless rivets that hold up to heavy use. Mauviel recommends hand washing the cookware, which carries a limited lifetime warranty.

CIA Masters Collection 7-Ply Copper Clad Stainless Steel 10 Piece Cookware Set Review

We purchased the CIA Masters 10 piece set, plus the 12 inch frypan and a wooden spoon after researching the Viking and All Clad Copper Core sets. We were able to visit stores in our area to handle the Viking and All Clad sets before purchase - we were not able to see the CIA Masters set before purchase.

In terms of weight, the CIA Masters set is similar in weight to the All Clad regular stainless set. The handles have two rivets and have the All Clad grove with the Viking curvature. The lids are slightly domed similar to the Viking set.

In terms of the copper layer - we compared the CIA set against the All Clad Copper Core. If you look at a piece of All Clad Copper core you will see a copper layer that is about 1/8" thick and very easily identified. If you look at a piece of CIA Master cookware, the copper layer can hardly be seen. Given the price of copper these days, my guess is thisamount of copper in the CIA cookware is part of the price difference to the All Clad Copper Core set.(10 piece set of CIA cookware is $499, 10 piece set of All Clad Copper Core $1200.)

The set arrived from Metro Kitchen in three days and was beautifully packaged.

So - why won't we recommend the set? First -you need to use silicon or wooden utensils with this set. Do not use metal utensils.The stainless steel is very very soft and the pans scratch easily. In fact, the very first time we used the set we made large, easily visible scratches on the outside bottom and inside just from making risotto. (note -- we have other stainless steel cookware where this is not a problem.)

Second, the golden rule when using stainless is to use low to medium heat. Higher temperatures cause a reaction with stainless steel which cause a bluish / brownish stain. The first time we used one of the frypans this marking appeared despite the low heat we used.

We haven't had any problems with food sticking (that pretty much a function of knowing how to cook in stainless anyway...) - but we can't honestly say the cookware is any better than the Emerilware or Cooks Essentials set we had previously.

Frankly we wish we had not paid $500+ for cookware that is "just okay" and that is going to show wear in a very short time. The Viking or All Clad set would have been a better choice.
