Editorial Review

Regular mixing bowls look naked next to this one, whose attributes include a nonslip, wrap-around base that prevents slipping, a spout for easy and clean pouring, and a nonslip handle so you can tilt it with a firm grip. Use it to whip up a vinaigrette or a few scrambled eggs. You'll never look at a plain bowl the same way again. This rugged bowl is also dishwasher-safe. --Laurie Notaro ... Read more

• Nonslip, wrap-around base prevents slipping

Perfect bowls
These bowls are very nice and they do not move about while you stir your "whatever".They are worth the cost and you will be pleased with any of them.They pour well and the hand grip is useful in handling the bowl.Good items!

My favorite mixing bowl
This bowl has a nice weight to it, doesn't slide around on the counter, and has a soft comfortable grip.Great bowl.

World's Greatest Mixing Bowl
I own every size of this bowl and if they made more I'd buy them.In fact I'm thinking about throwing away all my other bowls and just buying several more of these.They are absolutely the greatest mixing bowls ever made.They won't slide around (the bottow is rubber or something like it) they are steep sided so things don't splash out, they are easy to clean, and they look great, I could just could go on and on with praise about these bowls.I'm 63 years old and I cook a lot, I've never had a better product.Buy these, you won't be disappointed. ...

Editorial Review

Finding the right measuring cups in a crowded cupboard is always a hassle--it always seems that you only find the ones you're not looking for. This set takes steps to solve that problem, first by providing a ring so you can hook them all together. And color-coded measurement labels are eye-catching. The labels are clearly marked, and the color-coding is great for little helpers who haven't mastered their fractions yet. Each cup in this set of four has a wide handle that's comfortable to hold. As are all Good Grips gadgets, these cups are dishwasher safe. A matching set of measuring spoons is available. --Laurie Notaro ... Read more

• Set of four plastic cups
• Includes 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/4 cup

Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'
I am a VERY amateur chef.:c)I have to use these every time I make something.They are constantly being washed, either in the sink or dishwasher.I have really abused these things at times.They still work, and I don't think I'll have to replace them soon, unless they get stuck in the garbage disposal (it wouldn't be the first time that's happened).:c)

Fantastic price
These tools are either a baker or a person who cannot bake...very easy to be used....

Well made cups
I have to admit that I purchased these cups to bump up an order ...so I could receive free shipping. I was looking for something cheap to fill the order.I hadn't thought about replacing my old cups before.However, I'm glad to have these measuring cups, as they are very durable and well made.I like the color coded measurements on the handle. There have been a few times that I've inadvertently grabbed the 1/2 cup instead of the 1/3 cup measure in my old set, but I won't make that mistake again with these. ... Read more

Chicago Metallic Commercial 13 by 9-Inch Cookie Sheet
Average Customer Review:
Kitchen
-- our price: $9.99
(price subject to change: see help)
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

Don't let the diminutive size of this cookie sheet fool you--it offers the same strength, durability, and reliability that Chicago Metallic has offered in top-quality bakeware for more than 100 years. Plus, the notebook-sized sheet is small enough for children to handle, stores easily, and cleans up more quickly than larger sheets.

Once available only to commercial kitchens, the sheet is made of professional-weight aluminized steel, so it won't buckle or bend under intense heat and consistently provides fast and even heat distribution. Cookies brown quickly and evenly--there's no need to turn the sheet midway through baking. Bakers new to aluminized steel should pay extra attention at first, since this heavy-gauge sheet bakes cookies more quickly than lighter-gauge varieties. The pan gradually darkens with use, which actually improves heat retention, but it may also require that oven temperatures are lowered by 25 degrees to ensure even browning. The traditional uncoated surface of this sheet makes it extra rugged and a great conductor of heat, but does mean butter, oil, or parchment paper should be used to prevent sticking and to simplify cleanup, which is already a snap since the sheet is dishwasher-safe. --Emily Wolf ...

Features

• 13-by-9-inch cookie sheet
• Aluminized steel construction combines efficient heat transfer with corrosion resistance
• Uncoated surface reflects heat for even baking
• Dishwasher-safe
• Made in USA; 25-year limited warranty

Durable, excellent tool -- just what I needed and more
I was looking for a cookie sheet that wasn't too big, and this one stepped up to the job nicely.It is thick and solid -- not flimsy like some baking sheets can be.It has not warped even after being submitted to repeated dishwasher-ings...I've found that I actually use this sheet more for defrosting meats than baking even. I plop frozen chicken breasts, scallops, sausages, etc. on there and set it on a rack.(The rack allows for air flow under the sheet.)

Perhaps it is because of the thickness of this sheet; the aluminum conducts room or fridge temperature really well, and cuts defrosting time greatly. (Haven't measured enough to put a percentage, but that requires math -- yikes!)The only thing to be careful about is that there is no "lip" on the edges of the pan, so juices will run off if you're not careful!

In a word, fabulous! So glad I made this purchase. ... Read more

Fun and Easy!
This is a great waffle maker no matter what age you are.I personally feel like they taste more like pancakes though =PThe waffles are adorable and the nonstick coating makes it easy to make a few pancakes for yourself or a bunch for your family :)I've even tried making banana and chocolate chip ones in it and they turned out great!

doesn't last
The kids love this, but it only lasted 1 year and three months.I took it apart and tested it with a meter to see what was wrong.The fuse was blown.Unfortunately, the fuse is not user replaceable...

A Kindergarten Favorite
I gave the Sylvester Waffle Iron to my son's kindergarten teacher so she could use it every year on "W" week to make waffles. The kids just love it! They loved watching his nose light up. And they get so excited when Tweetie comes out! I couldn't believe how easy it was to use and how much the kids love it. So I bought one for my family too! I'm concerned about the other reviews saying the waffle iron only works for a year. I hope that's not my future! ... Read more

With 100 shapes to choose from, this cookie cutter set offers kids the perfect combination of fun and education. Placing the cutters in their various categories, for example, is a playful exercise that teaches abstract logic and builds confidence. Categories include letters, numbers, geometric forms, animals, plants, vehicles, symbols (such as adollar sign and a question mark), seasonal themes, and miscellaneous shapes such as an umbrella and a bell. The cutters are formed of stiff, durable plastic, are colorful and fascinating enough to be used outside the kitchen, and are dishwasher-safe. A tip to grandparents: keep this set handy as a special treat, unique to your home, for little visitors. --Fred Brack ... Read more

not worth the money
these are not worth it. the dough get stuck in the cutter and it is very hard to get the dough out. I had to stop right in the middle of baking and go and buy metal cutters to finish my holiday cookies.I will now give these to the day care next to me for the kids to play with.

SIMPLY VALUE FOR MONEY, unlimited by imagination!
Hmm... Roshco 100-Piece Plastic Cookie Cutter Set - simply value for money!

If you have kids below 16, go for it.
As for me, I am forever young at heart especially with this 100 cookies cutters!

As for baking, some of the cutters are so BIG (so will be the cookies! I have to watch my weight!), unless you have a baking party for kids.
Each kid get to choose their favourite cutter to bake the cookies. Parental supervision is a must since the cookies dough do get stuck on some cutter.
At the end of Baking Day, each kid get to bring home - their prized cookies of the favourite shape! Hey MUM, LOOKED! My football cookies!

Another option, kids can draw outline of the various cutter on Art and Craft Day, and PAINT their Mona Lisa masterpiece!

Whatever you want to do with this cutter, simply limited by ones's imagination!

Exploit and explore.
I am sure many did especially with the alphabet and number cutters.

psst...the cutters occupy reasonable amount storage space.

Big ones
The cookie cutters are good... that is if you like to make cookies the "american" size!! Boy! They are BIG, so not only the cookies are going to be huge but you need a lot of space to store the whole collection. As for the shapes I was dissapointed with the selection, it is not that great. I love the complete alphabet though. ... Read more

This giant-size cookie cutter can be used for much more than standard cookie baking, although its giant 5-inch width is certainly perfect for occasions when you want to wow your guests with The Big Cookie. The stainless-steel sides are sturdy enough to make great stencils for the kids, as well as molds for Jello or even homemade soap or candles. The squishy rubber gripper is helpful for folks with arthritis or carpal tunnel, and it's easier for small hands to grip (though the giant size may be tricky for very young kids). It's perfect for summertime parties, so make sure you've got lots of sprinkles for decorating this simple butterfly shape--there's even a recipe included. --Jill Lightner ... Read more

Stainless-steel sides are sturdy enough to make great stencils for the kids, as well as molds for Jello or even homemade soap or candles.

Comfort grip cookie cutters
I have several of the Comfort grip cookie cutters.Their intended purpose is to cut dough, and they do that well.However, after several uses and washings, the comfort grip gets, well, gunky.Sometimes it's better to forego all the latest and greatest products and stick with plain old-fashion basics.This is one of those times. ...

Breadman PZ200 Pizza Oven
Average Customer Review:
Kitchen
list price: $129.99
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

I've always considered pizza to be the perfect food; it's economical, portable, delicious, and--properly prepared--contains all the food groups. If you file pizza under J for junk food, you've probably been buying those limp and greasy slices that sit under a heat lamp for hours. Homemade pizza allows you to control the ingredients, the temperature, and the cheesiness, and it's definitely faster than ordering on a raining Friday night. Breadman's 12-inch oven bakes a pizza that's fully loaded with fresh ingredients in just 20 minutes, and heats a frozen pizza in only 15. The nonstick coating allows the pizza to slide out easily, and the patented heat distribution system prevents undercooked middles and burnt crust. The baking component is removable and dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning, although you should be careful not to clean with any abrasives that could damage the nonstick surface. The oven handles stay cool, so you can serve pizza right from the pizza oven. It comes with an instruction book that has recipes for both pizzas and calzones, although with pizza, you're only limited by your imagination. --Laura Cuthbert ... Read more

Features

• Removable serving tray is dishwasher-safe
• Bakes a gourmet pizza in 20 minutes
• Recipe book for thin crust or deep dish pizzas, calzones or stromboli
• 12-inch diameter oven with nonstick coating
• Patented design for even heat distribution

great portable cookware
not only can you bake a pizza, you can make cookies, warm bread slices etc. very sturdy and a good buy. good for doing demos at expos and in-store demos. highly recommended for college students living in dorms.

I Love This Contaption!!!
This pizza maker is really an excellent product, a real essential for any pizza lovers out there.The best pizzas I have ever tasted were the result of this wonder-gadget.

The Crust:
The pizza crusts always come out thick and perfect: slightly cripsy on the outside and wonderfully soft on the inside and far surpasses the pizza stones in the quality of the crust.

The Quantity Made:
The pizza comes out about 1 1/2 inches thick and generally makes enough to feed 8 people.I have not tried to bake a frozen pizza in the oven, so am not aware of its capabilities in that area, but from a home-made pizza standpoint this is the best gadget you can get.

The Recipe Pamphlet:
The recipe pamphlet included with the pizza maker gives a choice of two dough recipes as well as for a multitude of different pizzas, all of which are excellent and give a good basis for experimentation.

Some tips for the buyer:
Put any veggies containing a lot of water (such as green peppers) on the pizza 5 minutes before the pizza is finished instead of at the beginning.The veggies will come out warm and crunchy and do not waterlog the crust.Remember that 20 minutes is the cooking time, not the making time.Leave about 1 1/2 hours for total preparation.

pizza comes out great
All I can say is that it comes out like N.Y pizza. I gave it to me daughter for christmas 2yrs.ago and I love the pizza you can get that great crust. I am about to
order another one formyself.

Outstanding quality and great price.
This elegant, handy set, available in black or white, comes in a sturdy nylon ring, for easy hanging, that holds four color-coded spoons of 1 Tbsp., 1 Tsp., 1/2 Tsp., and 1/4 Tsp. measurements, and that can be opened and closed to allow you to use each spoon individually or as a set.
Like most OXO products, this one is a great value of superior quality, unsurpassed durability, and flawless performance. Its ergonomic design, wide handles and clearly-printed color labels (that won't fade), are the reasons why you'll prefer this product over the standard models, as they will allow you comfortable, everyday use.
Its elegant style fits seamlessly with other products from the OXO collection, and its easy-to-clean, simple construction and dishwasher-safe, hard-wearing materials make it an addition that will prove a dependable part of your cooking equipment for years.
My only complaint is that, since it weighs very little, this set gets tossed around the dishwasher a lot and I keep finding it somewhere in the bottom of it every single time. Still, after submitting this product to over two years of relentless, everyday use, mine is still just like new.
I would also suggest checking out the newer OXO set, with the additional 1/2 Tbsp. and 1/8 Tsp. measures, before buying this one.
