Review: Calphalon Contemporary NonStick Everyday Pan

calphalon-12in-nonstick-contemporary-everyday-panIf you could only have one pan in your kitchen to use for all of your cooking needs, the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Everyday Panwould be that one pan. From morning to evening, all your cooking needs can be met by this one piece.

At 12-inches in diameter, this pan can handle larger meals like casseroles or one pot stove top creations as well as the quick small cooking jobs you want to finish. Additionally, it has a nonstick interior that was especially designed for being used every day. It is chip resistant, meaning you can stir all you want and the pan is still going to be easy to clean when you’re done.

When it comes to how it cooks, you will be very pleased with this pan. Its base is made of hard-anodized aluminum. This means it has the strength of a harder metal, but can heat more quickly and evenly as only aluminum can. It’s less wait time for the same results! Yet the sides of the pot and seal on the matching lid are made of stainless steel, so you know they are not going to wear out.

In addition to being a great stovetop cooking pan, this everyday pan can also be put in the oven and is safe at temperatures up to 450 degrees.

What We Like

  • This is a good size pan for getting even larger cooking jobs done.
  • It is easy to clean up after using.
  • The two handles make it easier to carry, especially when you have filled it with a large meal.
  • It has a good weight to the pan that lets you know it will hold up to use.
  • The nonstick surface is easy to clean.
  • The pan comes with a warranty to replace it if you have any problems.

The majority of customes who have purchased this pan can’t speak highly enough of it.  In fact a number of consumers are so happy with the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Everyday pan that they have purchased extra pans as gifts for family members and friends

Review: All Clad Cop-R-Chef Open Stir Fry Pan

Comments (1)

all-clad-cop-r-chef-open-stir-fry-panIf you have been trying make healthier cooking choices, the All-Clad Cop-r-Chef Stir Fry Pan may be just the pan you are looking for. Stir fry is a very healthy way to go, as it requires only a little oil to cook up a whole plate of great tasting food.

This 10-inch stir fry pan has been created with a three-layer system. The outer layer is copper, which helps to pull heat into the pot and distribute it evenly. Next is an inner core of aluminum, which also helps to speed up the conductivity of the heat. Finally, the interior is stainless steel that has been hand polished to give it a beautiful shine that will also hold up to all of your mealtime needs.

The long handle allows you to keep cool while heating food and even gives you a holding platform in case you want to try to flip a few things in the pan while cooking.

Unlike many other stir-fry pans, this one has a flat bottom. That means it can be used on any type of stove top, or even be put in the oven, as it is broiler and oven safe.

What We Like

  • This pan shows sturdy construction and should last a long time in your kitchen.
  • It heats evenly which is very important in the art of stir fry.
  • It heats quickly saving you time and money in power to heat the pan.
  • The copper coating makes this piece an attractive addition to the kitchen.

Other Things to Consider

  • At 10 inches, the All Clad Cop-R-Chef Stir Fry Pan is more suited to cooking for one or two people. It would have a tough time cooking a meal for a larger family.
  • If you aren’t careful in the washing and drying of the pan, you may notice discoloration in the stainless steel lining.
  • If you aren’t careful while cooking, you may have a problem with things sticking to the pan.
  • This must be washed by hand and hand dried to keep them clean and spot-free.

Waring Professional Bar BlenderIf you’re really ready to blend, you should be looking no further than the Waring Professional Bar Blender.

Its professional strength is great for the host who is entertains a lot and where everyone wants a daiquiri or super smooth icy drink.  It  is  made to create mixed drinks as it has a 40-ounce jar that can make up to 5 cups of those tasty treats at a time. And with a 390-watt motor, you will have one jar of frozen drinks ready to go in no time and be ready to mix up the next batch.

In addition to making iced drinks, this blender is also ready to make any of a number of other creations from sauces to soups. It has speeds that vary from just mixing up to pureeing. If you need to add just a little more to your mixture, pop the measure out of the lid and it will let you add a perfect ounce to the jar.

When the mixing is done, clean up is a cinch as the jar and lid can both be put in the dishwasher for cleaning.

Waring 40-oz. Professional Professional Bar Blender, Chili Red
The Waring Professional bar blender is available in stainless, chili red and white, so you will easily find a color to suit your kitchen decor.

What We Like

  • It has a toggle switch that allows you to adjust from the flow to fast setting easily.
  • It has plenty of power to crush ice and other items so you can make iced drinks.
  • It’s built with professional strength but for use in the home.
  • Suction cup feet on the bottom of the machine keep it from moving around on the counter.

Other Things To Consider

  • Unless you get the blender on special the price can be a bit steep so you really have to be serious about your blending to make this purchase.
  • If you do have a problem with the machine, some customers have found that service provided by the Waring Customer Service department leaves a lot to be desired.
  • Some of these blenders have been known to periodically leak from the base of the jar where it hooks to the blending attachment.

Reviews were mixed at Amazon although most customers were happy with the blender. Those who reviewed the blender on Cooking.com were all very pleased with the results that they achieved with the Waring 40-oz. Professional Professional Bar Blender

Superhuman KT1000 Grocery Bag HolderPut your hand up if you have a multitude of plastic bags spewing out of a kitchen drawer or cupboard? I know I do. It almost seems like they are breeding as every time I look there are more and more of them.

Cupcake CourierLike most peopl I can’t help but love cupcakes. They are so scrumptious. But carrying them around can be a bit of a hazard. Not that they last that long to be taken anywhere (at least in my household) but if you need to make a batch of cupcakes for a kids party or a school function for instance then it would be nice to know that your cupcakes will arrive in one piece.

This is where the Cupcake Courier comes into play. This handy container carries up to 36 cup cakes at any one time.

It comes with 3 stackable trays, each with 12 cups and each tray can be removed. This makes clean up nice and easy but also allows room fora full size cake if required.

The Cupcake Courier comes with a built-in handle that makes it easy to carry around. And everything is held securely in place by the four latches around the base.

The Cupcake Courier is available in a variety of colors including sky blue, saffron yellow, lemon grass green and petal pink.
