jamfind says "Pyrex Grip Rite Oblong Dish is versitile, bakes well and more!" about Pyrex Pyrex Grip Rite Oblong Dish - 3-qt.

jamfind — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 02:00:51 GMT

The 3 qt. Grip Rite Oblong Dish from Pyrex is one of the dishes that I frequently find myself reaching for in the kitchen. This 9"x 13" clear glass baking dish has a 3 quart capacity, and like all Pyrex products, it's made of durable glass that can be baked, refrigerated, microwaved and even stands up well in the freezer. This dish features longer grips than usually found in baking dishes this size. I find this especially helpful when sliding it in and out of the oven.

Because it is such a versatile dish, it's great for casseroles, cakes and even small roasts. In the oven, this baking dish heats evenly. It's great for popping dishes in the microwave. At 2", it is not a deep dish. However, it is rather useful when preparing dinner for my family of four. This is also great for cold dishes, too. It's the perfect size of serving a cold dessert to a larger group, like fruit salad or a gelatin dish.

In my experience, Pyrex and other quality baking dishes are rather easy to...

RoobyBegonia says "Le Crueset's stoneware baking dishes are simply the best!" about Le Creuset Stoneware Baking Dishes

RoobyBegonia — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 21:24:49 GMT

I purchased my first piece of Le Crueset stoneware after accidentally breaking a stack of baking dishes while packing for a move. If I'd have known how much I would love the Le Crueset bakeware, I'd have dropped those other dishes a long time ago! :) The 9x9 pan makes the most perfect cornbread EVER - evenly browned and nicely crispy around the edges. The 12x9 baking dish is perfect for four large chicken breasts, a nice filet of halibut, or even a spiral-cut ham. I use one or both of these dishes just about every time I cook. And here's the best part - they are a snap to clean. I couldn't believe how easy they are to wash. What would be a burned-on mess in another pan is a piece of cake (literally!) in the Le Crueset bakeware. They look great on the table, too, and are available in a variety of colors - I chose the 'Kiwi', which is a lime-green. Now if they'd just make them in eggplant! :)

jazzybean01 says "Cooling Racks keep me cool and collected while baking" about Cooking Concepts Cooling Rack

jazzybean01 — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:02:03 GMT

I'm just one of those people that has a hard time substituting so when I moved and discovered I'd lost my cooling racks I was a mess (okay not really). I went out and bought Cooking Concepts Cooling Racks. There the perfect size for my small kitchen and counter-space but big enough to do a batch of warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies on.

These racks have just enough elevation to cool baked goods without fearing that they will collapse if the racks gets knocked. They're easy to clean and I suggest use the spray attachment on your sink if you have one to rinse the wires. They also store very easily and take up little space since they are flat and can squeeze in anywhere.

I recommended Cooking Concepts Cooling Racks for any baker.

lizapierce says "I love Pampered Chef!" about Pampered Chef Anything

lizapierce — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 04:12:05 GMT

I got a few Pampered Chef products at a show a few years ago and fell in love with them. I joined the company not long after that and was with them for a year. I'm not with them now, but I have a friend who is and I am so glad because I still buy the products, even though I got a ton of them during my time with them! Every time a new catalog comes out, I want more! Pampered Chef thinks of the most unique kitchen tools that you never new you needed but you find out you definitely do once you try them! The stoneware is my preferred bakeware and when I don't have acess to it, I get frustrated wtih other dishes. Pampered Chef also has great warranties and they are super fast about replacing anything that breaks (and it's easy to get it done). Now they have an online outlet where you can get products for even cheaper! The host and guest specials are usually great, especially for the host. It's possible to get a ton of free products with even a small number of people ordering! You just can't...

USNavyMom says "Our first pizza baking stone cracked, and so did replacement." about Pampered Chef Large Round Baking Stone - 1370

USNavyMom — Tue, 19 May 2009 21:29:42 GMT

The pizza stone from Pampered Chef that we received as a gift cracked upon first usage. Pampered Chef sent us a replacement for free, but specified in their note to us that if this replacement stone cracked, there would be no free replacement. That seemed odd. Unfortunately, the replacement stone cracked last night, again upon first usage. We followed all of the directions for its care, too. The pizza came out great, but the stone was cracked from handle to handle, just like the first one.

valw101 says "Makes great cakes!" about Wilton Angel Food Cake Pan

valw101 — Tue, 19 May 2009 21:11:29 GMT

Making angel food cakes has been in my family for a very very long time. When I was a young girl I would go over to my great grandmothers house and I would love to help her make angel food cakes. She only used Wilton pans. She always only used the "good stuff" It was important for her to do things right. She was a very good cook and is famous in our family for making those cakes. When I recently got married my grandmother whose mother was the famous cake maker, gave me a very special shower gift. It was a gift bag and in it were all of the ingredients of how to make an angel food cake. All of the baking supplies including the Wilton cake pan. It was a neat gift. I love my Wilton pans because they are truly non stick. This makes clean up so much easier. There is no major scrubbing to when it comes to dishes usually a light scub will get the job done. They are also very durable pans. I would recommened these pans for any cooks.

aiidendavid says "It's a big hit! " about Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan

aiidendavid — Tue, 12 May 2009 04:41:26 GMT

It's the cutest pan ever. It's a giant cupcake! The top of it is on one side and the bottom on the other so it's two separate cavities. As long as you spray it with cooking spray it comes out with no problems. ...

cmcneil says "Love it. Couldn't be easier to clean." about Pampered Chef Baking Stone

cmcneil — Wed, 06 May 2009 16:38:33 GMT

Only began using Pampered Chef products within the past 5-6 years. I received a baking stone as a gift, not realizing that my husband had an old baking stone that was given to him by his mother. I've baked pizza, cookies, cobblers, and numerous other things and have had nothing but great results. I found that I was spending a lot of time soaking my other cookie sheets or pans for hours before they would come clean, but that's not the case with the Pampered Chef baking stones or stoneware. Food comes off easily with a little scrape.

The only trouble I have had with any of my stones was due to my carelessness. I broke one of the stones when I placed it in cool water before it had cooled off. I was sick about it because it was one of my oldest stones and was getting good and seasoned. I would recommend this product to my friends and have. We've had 4 Pampered Chef parties over the past 2 years and the products truly sell themselves.

moons2you says "Nothing sticks for long with easy clean up!" about Pampered Chef Stoneware

moons2you — Tue, 05 May 2009 22:22:33 GMT

I was slightly skeptical at first but I am now sold and have been replacing all my metal pans for baking and cooking stones!

A baking pan/stone is now just a 5 minute cleanup for me!

The hardest part to remember is not cleaning the stone with dish soap as this is a habit that is hard to break but well worth it! I say purchase yourself a small pan first to try first to see if it is for you before spending a lot of money on a larger pan/stone to not enjoy.

Food just seems to taste better when cooked in or on a stone also. (I can't tell you why it just does!)

Baking stones are a big time saver in the kitchen! Especially during the cleanup time. Lets face it we spend so much time preparing the meals to just find ourselves spending just about the same amount of time on the cleanup process after all a bit of help is a good thing!!!

chellerose79 says "i'm baking and liking it!" about Pyrex Pyrex 18-Piece Set

chellerose79 — Tue, 05 May 2009 03:41:24 GMT

Lately, I've been trying my hand on baking brownies, cookies, etc...As a beginner, I find it really interesting and i am always excited to see the outcome. To help me with all the preparation and baking process, i have my Pyrex bakeware to rely on. This glass bakeware set comes in different rectangular and round sizes, with tight lids, and a measuring cup. The round items have flared out edges and the rectangular ones have handles so they're easy to hold and grip. They are all-around durable items, you can use them in prep and mixing, baking and heating (also microwave-safe), as well as storage purposes. I like that i can prepare and cook something on my Pyrex, serve the food in it, and if there's leftover, just cover it and put it in the fridge. And with the tight-seal covers, it makes food lasts longer. Also, it is easy to clean and it doesn't absorb the smell of food so you are sure it is safe to use over and over. My mom used Pyrex products for a long time, and like what everybody says,...

Momtoatrio says "Silicone muffin cups are environmentally friendly and non-stick." about Sur La Table Silicone Muffin Cups

Momtoatrio — Mon, 04 May 2009 14:07:26 GMT

I received these silicone muffin cups as a gift for christmas. I was skeptical because I had used other silicone products with mixed results. I generally don't like the "floppiness" of silicone and sometimes the baked goods stick. These work GREAT! I also have some Wilton ones, but the Sur La Table ones beat them hands down. The muffins or cupcakes come RIGHT out. The "floppiness" isn't so much of an issue because I put them right into the regular muffin pan. The entire muffin comes out of the muffin cup so easily! Even if they are still warm. Not like the paper ones where 1/2 my muffin is still stuck to the sides. They are also extremely easy to clean. I just soak them in some soapy water and any residue wipes/rinses right out. I especially like the fact that they are reusable. I'm not throwing paper muffin cups away (with 1/2 my muffin stuck to it!) and having to remember to buy new ones every time I go to the store. Anytime I want to make muffins or cupcakes,...

sbpack1991 says "I love my Lodge frying pan." about Lodge Cast Iron frying pan

sbpack1991 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:16:25 GMT

Once you get it seasoned, the Lodge cast iron frying pans are wonderful for making cornbread, and frying and cooking vegetables. The clean up is quick and easy, because once seasoned (done by using grease and 'baking' the pan without any ingredients in it), hardly anything sticks to the pan. I can make cornbread and be certain that when I take it out of the oven and flip it over onto a plate, it will come out easily every time. My mom used Lodge cast iron frying pans, my grandmom used them...it's a family tradition....

rugramma2 says "excellent product for baking and serving " about Temptations Baking dishes

rugramma2 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 00:02:45 GMT

When I purchased my Temptations cookware, I was very impressed with the color selection and the fact that it could be used as a baking dish as well as an serving dish.

I prepared a casserole and the quality of this dish kept my food warm during the serving process , and was decorative for the season which was impressive to my guest.

I was especially impressed with the easy clean up , no harsh scrubbing and dish washer safe.I use this dish regularly when I prepare meals for my family and friends.

I recently attended a friends party and offered to allow her to use my set of Temptation dishes , which she did and she has been thanking me ever since. She asked me where I had purchased these wonderful dishes and that she wanted to purchase some as well.

She kept going on about how decorative the Temptation cookware was, and how her guest kept on complimenting her on the design of mywonderful Temptation casserole dish , as well as how it kept the casserole warm during serving.

zae123 says "The best cake pans!!!" about Wilton Round cake pans

zae123 — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:52:13 GMT

OK Folks...I went out and bought a set of 4 Wilton round cake pans..6, 8, 10, and 12 inch.. They are absolutely awesome! Everything seems to bake evenly.. I do not have to use the spray Cake release..I discovered that you can spray the pan with cooking spray and then pour in the batter... I have been using my set now for about 6 weeks... Not once did a cake stick! The Wilton cake pans are amazing! I was surprised, pleasantly so, to see how easily the pans cleaned up.. I washed them by hand in mild dishwashing liquid.. Not one bit of residue was left.. Wilton round cake pans are quickly becoming my favorite cake pans!

chemist2006 says "I love these products and buy them every year at the fair" about Doughmakers cookie sheet

chemist2006 — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:22:06 GMT

I never thought I would ever change bakeware products after years of using the teflon coated ones and glass products. But after deciding that I needed to update my old bakeware with new ones I was using I came across the Doughmakers brand while walking through the local county fair booth building. My Mom had mentioned that she had a Doughmaker cake pan and loved it. the difference was that you have to use butter or a solid greasing agent like Crisco or a shortening to grease the pans as they have a finish that looks like a stone patio with all the shapes fitting together and leaving an uneven finish for the shortening to sit in to keep the bake good from sticking. These pans are sturdy and very thick and not cheap by no means but are worth the money. The product itself comes out of Ohio and reminded me of Amish people (not that I know if they use these or not). I have gone back to the fair the past few years and buy more pieces and look forward to getting rid of the old stuff I have.

dmlichnerowicz says "Heats up quickly, easy to clean, looks beautiful in my kitchen!" about Pampered Chef Stainless Steel 5-Pc Set

dmlichnerowicz — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:33:42 GMT

The Pampered Chef Stainless steel 5-Piece Cookware is a heavy-grade stainless steel, so it heats quite quickly and evenly. It does take a while to cool off, so you should watch what you're cooking to ensure it doesn't overheat. All the pots and skillets have stainless handles, so they can be put in the over or under the broiler. Even though they are metal, the handles typically stay very cool, so they are easy to lift off the stove without pot holders. The 2 lids are glass with stainless handles and fit very snugly.

I purchased my cookware after hosting a show, so I was able to buy the set as my half-priced item, which was less than $250. The equipment has a lifetime 1-time replacement guarantee, and Pampered Chef is excellent about honoring their guarantees for any reason, although I do not anticipate any problems with the cookware.

I was concerned when I first used the skillet to cook ground beef, because the inside looked etched and dirty. I scrub it with baking soda...

CookingMom says "Not worth the money,delay cook does not work." about Wolfgang Puck 5-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker

CookingMom — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 01:40:48 GMT

I bought the electric pressure cooker in the hopes it would make my life easier being able to delay cook roasts, beans etc. I am so dissappointed. the delay does not work right keep getting E4 error message that no one knows what it is all about. I threw the box away because I thought I was getting top of the line product--I cannot send it back. Now I'm stuck with a pressure cooker that will cook 20 minutes at a time with no delay timer. I am so SORRY I spent the money on this!!!!!SO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS COOKER!!!!!

keiko101 says "not worth the money" about Wolfgang Puck Bread Maker

keiko101 — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 03:09:54 GMT

Bought this from HSN and was excited after watching the broadcast on this product. I had to return it, whether it was defective or not, it didn't work as they said. The bread came out with a super hard crust on the bottom and sides and I picked the light crust setting. Tried making a few loaves on different settings and nothing made a difference, I had to cut of most of the loaf as it was inedible. Back to baking bread the old fashioned way, mixing, kneading, rising, rising, shaping, baking, cooling, enjoying......when I do get the urge to try the bread machine again I'll do a thorough search on product reviews putting Zojirbishi at the top. Disappointed really like a few of his products I do own. At least it was easy to return to HSN, wonder where they found all those people who call in to say what a wonderful product this is, or did they just get the only batch of these that actually work.

CoveredinGrace says "This mold is both cute and functional, it's great!" about Wilton 6-Cavity Silicone Heart Mold Pan

CoveredinGrace — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 02:37:29 GMT

The Wilton 6 Cavity Silicone Heart Mold Pan is a fun addition to any kitchen. The possibilities are seemingly endless with this particular pan/mold. You can make cupcakes, personal cheesecakes, chocolate hearts (large), heart-shaped rolls, or even mold you handmade soap with it!

I bought this to make Valentine's cupcakes for a church event, but I have found so many more uses for it since I got it that it truly has turned out to be a quality investment. The pan does pretty well at shaping cupcake batter, considering that it is made of flexible silicone. It is wonderful for gelatin jigglers or even making large ice cubes for a themed event because this product can go from freezer to fridge to oven, which of course adds to its' versatility.

I will say, though, that this product is not without flaws, either. There are only 6 cavities in it, so you can only make six muffins or cupcakes at a time, unless you purchase more of them to use at the same time. And at the price they ask for it, it's...
