Stoneline 11" Eco-friendly Stone Coated Non-stick 2pc Frying Pan Set /Glass Lid



Inferior Quality And Horrible Customer Service
After many months of watching the infomercials on these sets, we finally dug into the savings and purchased them. What a mistake! After using them for about a month, the handle snapped off of the medium frying pan. Luckily, nobody was scalded as the pan crashed to the floor. The culprit was defective steel. It was totally crystalized at the handle. Upsetting to say the least, but the real nightmare began when we contacted them. They requested photographs which were promptly sent. Their response was no less than 4 promises of a replacement being "on its way".

After almost an entire year, a supervisor finally proposed sending a replacement BUT ONLY IN A DIFFERENT SIZE. It seems he didn't want to be bothered pulling the correct pan for us. The fact that there were so many broken promises from them over a year, he still didn't see fit to make sure we had the complete set which we paid for.

They do work as the infomercials show. But given the inferior...

Don't trust their warranty
We sent a pan back six months and after calling them twice, we are still awaiting a replacement pan (they keep saying it's on back order.) Very unhappy.

Please Read This Before You Buy -DO NOT BUY!
I have been researching this product. Always check the BBB before you buy anything. Here is the link for this company's BBB profile: [...]. This product has not lasted anyone longer than 8 months, and most are less than that! I don't know about anyone else but I cannot afford to pay $300 for this kind of cookware or $100 per piece every few months because the product does not perform the way it is advertised. Also there are many billing issues and consumers are not being refunded when over charged! Strongly caution!

Emile Henry 4-Quart Risotto Pot, Olive



Makes perfect risotto every time
This was a gift for my husband, who does the lions-share of the cooking in our home. He loves experimenting with flavors and has made numerous amazing risotto dishes in this piece. It is beautifully made, the perfect size, heats evenly, cooks the arborio rice perfectly every time, and is easy to clean. For the culinary lover out there, I highly recommend this!

Anolon Advanced Bronze 12" French Skillet



LOVE this pan
Arrived quickly. Cooks great. Never have to use more than medium heat to get a good sear on meats. Hope the nonstick lasts, but for now LOVE this pan.

Very Nice Cookware
Ordered for my daughter, she is very pleased. She has not used it yet, but my friend received this cookware as a gift, I'm very impressed as is she. It arrived on time.

12 " analon bronze skillet

InterDesign Clarity Over-the-Rack Tie/Belt Spinner, Clear



Great for Women's Belts
It's exactly what I was looking for, but a bit expensive than what I would have paid for. The rotation is great and space between the hooks is good for belts with smaller buckles.

Nice tie hanger
It's a good cheap tie hanger
It seems fairly strong and thick for a plastic tie hanger
Worth the buy if you're looking for a cheap option the hang you're ties on

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star 5-1/2-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Boning Knife



Henkels Boning Knife
This knife is an excellently balanced knife capable of taking and holding a sharp edge. (A steel for truing the blade is necessary.) The blade is flexible which allows the user to easily follow the bones and remove the meat. I bone all of my chicken breasts and thighs with this knife and am able to debone a dozen breasts in a short time. The knife's balance makes it tireless to work with while providing enough heft to do the job.

Perfection
I've used this exquisite boning knife for many years, and used it heavily- cutting apart and boning out very many goat carcasses, chickens, cutting up pieces of meat, etc. etc. Since I use it to cut apart large joints I am often pushing it against the bone but in spite of the abuse it keeps its edge like nothing else. I've not had any knife that comes close to this one in performance for these jobs.

It IS rugged. Sharp. The point is enough to poke through membranes. The curve near the tip ideal for boning. The concave curve near the base of the blade helpful when I want extra leverage in getting through a joint, etc. The balance and shape of the handle unbelievably suberb.

If I sound passionate about this knife, I am! A great knife is a lovely thing to someone who uses it regularly and values an excellent tool. All you need to do is pick up one of these Four Star pieces (their 10" chef knife is my other favorite) and you'll know what I mean. It fits in...

Henkel 4-Star Deboning Knife
The Henkle 4-Star boning knife is an excellent and well balanced knife. It has a flexible blade and an extremely agressive, sharp edge. Maintaining its sharpness with a steel is easy.

I have de-boned lamb legs, lamb shoulders, many chickens and prepared spare ribs for smoking with this knife. It has done the job very well and I earnestly recommend it.

Norpro Nonstick Omelet Pan with Removable 3 Egg Poacher



Do not buy!
I have purchased many things on Amazon and this is the only one star I have ever given.

The very first use I cooked on medium high and it produced the worse smell I have ever smelled while cooking. The non stick cooked right off and a three inch chunk peeled off. It made my whole first story smokey and ruined the meal. Needless to say,i won't be using that pan again.

Do not buy this product!

Not a fan
I am pretty handy and consider myself a good cook, but didn't like how the poached eggs turned out. Very hard to use and smells like plastic is burning when I use it.

Norpro Egg Poacher is Super
I have had one of these for several years and like it so much that I bought two more of them, on for my daughter and one for my sister-in-law for Christmas.

It is easy to sue and clean and makes perfect poached eggs!!
