I use it mostly to bake cookies, but I know that it has many other uses.  The cookies never burn on these pand and are always cooked and browned evenly.  The pans are sturdy and well worth the price! Long live Pampered...

It bakes evenly and cleans up easily! Do not use soap on this otherwise your food will taste like soap. That is the only taste that transfers on to these stones however. Toy can cook chicken with onions one hour then turn around and use the same stone for your cookies and they will not taste like onions! This size stone is the best Pampered Chef has! You can use it for everything! — —...

We bake biscuits, cookies, fries, and almost anything that can be placed on the surface. Everything is baked perfectly and after you remove it from the oven, the stone stays warm for a long time to keep your food...

Well, I ordered it.. Baked a cake just for fun. This is the ideal cake for kids parties.  Kids love cupcakes and to see a huge cupcake is pretty cool for a kid.. — If you enjoy baking cakes. You will enjoy this pan. It's fun and it's easy to decorate... —...

The way the economy is we really don't go out to eat much anymore. I use the pizza stone at least once or twice a week. The only thing is I don't really use the hanger that is comes with...seems cumbersome to me! I also have the smaller pizza stone, but prefer the larger. —...

I have found I can lay a piece of foil on top of my stone and crisp up medium rare bacon and warm all types of bread to the center so the bread does not become wet but just like first baked. Other uses are for baking biscuits and breads. — I really enjoy having my P C baking stone ! ! ! —...

It's great that it cooks more evenly, which is important, but I just don't think it's work the mess that you're left with and the difficulty getting it in and out of the oven and storing it. —...

This collection includes six fruit shapes that let you create the European style linzer cookies. The set has an apple, pear, strawberry, peach, pineapple and lemon shapes plus a fluted round cutter to bake up an elegant looking cookie. I like filling the cookies with sweet jams in flavors of strawberry, raspberry or apricot and they taste amazing when dusted with a little sugar on top. These are a favorite treat of mine to serve up and they do a great job at celebrating the fresh fruits of summer. This set sells for just $9.95 for all seven pieces. —...

I own some of his cookware, appliances, accessories and of course bakeware. Two bakeware products that I use often and think highly of are the Wolfgang Puck Bistro 3-piece Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl Set and the Wolfgang Puck Bistro 7-Piece Mixing Bowl & Whisk Set. I thought it would be interesting to see how they compare. — About the two mixing bowl sets: — Wolfgang Puck Bistro 3-piece Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl Set (Orig. Price $29.90) — This three-piece stainless steel mixing bowl set includes a 1 1/2 quart bowl, a 3-quart bowl, and a 5-quart bowl. These bowls contain 18/10 stainless steel, are dishwasher safe, and come with a manufacturer's lifetime limited warranty. Although made from stainless steel, the bowls are actually quite lightweight but while mixing, they do not move around. The inside of these bowls are imprinted with measuring units to make mixing easier....

I actually don't even like to do it but with two children between the ages of 7 and 10, I bake to make them happy. I bake mostly cookies and when taking the cookies out of the oven, I was letting them cool on a baking sheet. Sometimes the bottoms would continue to cook and be burnt and most times, they stuck to the cookie sheet. I found the Wilton Excelle Elite 3-Tier Cooling Rack at Amazon.com for only $10.99 and it I love it! — About this cooling rack... — This cooling rack stacks to become 3-tier and collapses for easy storage. The steel wires are reinforced with a nonstick coating and the rack is dishwasher safe. Each grid measures 15-7/8 by 9-7/8. There is a 10-year warranty. — What I think about this product... — This is one of the handiest kitchen items that I own. I am now able to take cookies right off of the cookie sheet before they stick and set them on this cooling rack. The wires are close enough together that I...
