CorningWare French White 15-Ounce Grab-It Dish with Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OVERALL: This product is a solid workhorse. I have six, and they are favorites for convenient storage of leftovers. They stack and are durable. Unlike plastic, the stoneware cleans completely and does not transfer odors. The size is right for 2 normal servings (~1 cup) or one super-sized serving (15 oz.) which can be frozen or reheated in the same container.
If this CorningWare's Grab-It dish still came with the original version's glass lid, it would definitely rate five stars. The current version, however--despite Amazon's product description, which mentions glass AND plastic lids--now comes with a single (opaque) plastic lid. Handy enough, but not as durable as the glass lid or as convenient.
FOR WORK: No one would expect a spillproof seal from the glass lid. I wouldn't count on it with this plastic lid, either. If you are taking something to eat at work that contains even a small amount of liquid, consider leaving this lid at home, and covering the Grab-It with Press N Seal or a similar film--you can poke a few holes in it to vent when reheating it. If you want to use the Grab-It cover, pretest it by filling with water and holdng it at an angle. The manufacturing tolerance for the lid vary. Yours may or may not leak.
AT HOME: For storage of leftovers at home, the glass lids were superior: You could see the contents. For this version, you may want to mark the date on the side using a whiteboard marker to avoid those ghastly green surprises when you clean out the refrigerator. You can also simply use a plastic film, but then you can't stack it.

This shallow 15-ounce dish is ideal for making individual desserts like crème brulee, serving and storing nuts, or keeping leftovers fresh. Made from sturdy glazed stoneware, it is durable enough to go from freezer to oven and stylish enough to look good on the table. A tight-fitting plastic lid keeps food covered in the fridge or freezer, and the lid features a large tab to make opening easy.

West Bend 76026 High Speed Baking QuikServe Oven, Black/Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This oven is aesthetically pleasing but takes up a lot of counter space. It seems a lot of thought went into the design ,for example the nice weight cooking pan has a separate lift bracket with stay cool handles. However, if the top part were just 2 inches taller it would have more functional use. I cooked Ore-Ida oven fries in it on the supplied non-stick pan and they were quickly cooked perfectly with an enhanced potato taste. Then later I cooked manicotti in a small and shallow rectangle glass Pyrex dish. Part of one of the top elements had burned melted cheese on it. Both items cooked much quicker than if I had used my regular sized convection oven or my convection microwave oven since no warm up period was required. However, it seems everything has to be place only on the cooking pan which is about the size of a medium frozen pizza. This greatly limits the everyday use of this oven. I had hoped since my toaster-oven recently died that this item would take it's place, but that is not the case. I will probably still use it for fries and frozen pizza, but if I'm baking cookies, a cake or a pie then I'll use my microwave or full sized oven.
03/07/11 update:
I happily use this appliance several times a week for multiple reheating and cooking. I was short sighted in thinking it was not sized properly for frequent use, although I still think making it a couple of inches taller would be beneficial. If you purchase Phillips' crab cakes, you can cook them frozen to perfection w/o adding any cooking oil or butter. When I cook fresh fish on this I do add butter and seasoning. When and if this appliance dies I will replace it.

Kaiser Crossini French Fry Sheet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item because of the better quality of the reviews over less
expensive pans described as having similar capabilities. Futhermore, using the
assumption that "you get what you pay for" I'd hoped that the quality would be
better than cheaper ones also found on Amazon. But alast, I was sorely disappointed! I have used the cheaper pan, as my mother had one. They both performed
the same.
It is no better than cheaper ones. It is lightweight but it is NOT dishwasher safe.
Cleaning is not as easy as anticipated. All-in-all I paid 30% more for no quality
improvement. My BAD!
NO I do not recommend this product over the cheaper pans. Save the money.

Pyrex Pie Plate Portable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Oh boy, just what I needed!
I am not all that big on baking pies, but when invited to someone's home for a pot-luck, I invariably make a Quiche. It's easy, doesn't take too long to bake and gets lots of compliments. But one of the hard parts about bringing Quiche is that it's not always that easy to transport, especially if you're walking instead of driving, which I will do if I bring one to work.
Voila! As if reading my mind, Pyrex has come out with this Portable Pie Plate, and when I saw it offered on Amazon Vine, I had to have it, despite the cutesy alliteration in the product name. As many cooks know, one of the best things to cook pie crust in is a glass dish (especially if the crust is properly prepared), and as glass pie dishes go, Pyrex has a pretty solid reputation. So I really wanted to try this, and I'm glad I did.
The durable plastic cover and base is heavy enough to be dishwasher safe, as is the Pyrex glass dish that inserts into the base. The base is easily removed and is also dishwasher safe; of course, the glass should not be exposed to extremes in temperature variation. The cover locks securely in place, and has both a handle on top, for one-hand carrying ease, plus two side handles, if you'd prefer to transport it that way. The base also has serving guide marks, to assist in easy portion rationing, and holes in the base to allow just enough steam to escape to cut down on moisture buildup. All in all, it's a very thoughtfully designed piece of kitchenware. Highly Recommended.
For anyone so inclined, here's my time-tested recipe for Classic Quiche Lorraine:
4-6 Servings
Preheat oven to 375°
Prepare a 9 Inch pie-shell (or use a pre-formed refrigerated crust) by brushing it with the white of 1 egg, and prick it well with a fork.
Cut ¼ lb. sliced bacon into 1-inch pieces;
Cook the bacon in a skillet, until the fat is almost cooked away, but the bacon is not yet crisp. Drain it on paper towels.
Heat almost to boiling 2 cups milk or cream (I use half & half)
Allow it to cool slightly, and then beat it gently together with:
3 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white pepper
Sprinkle Ground Fresh Nutmeg
1 teaspoon chopped chives (frozen is fine)
Sprinkle the bacon in the bottom of the pie-shell, along with
½ cup diced Swiss cheese
Pour the egg mixture over the meat and cheese and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Test for doneness with a toothpick or knife inserted in the center; the Quiche is done when toothpick or knife comes out clean.
Note: This basic Quiche recipe can be used for many types of Quiche - Substitute any cheese, meat or vegetable (or combination thereof) for the Bacon and Swiss cheese (Ham and Cheddar work very well, as does cooked Spinach, Broccoli or Asparagus). For additional variety, try chopped onions or scallions instead of chives.
Enjoy!

Nordic Ware Norwegian Krumkake Iron Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband bought this for me as an anniversary present (I have been wanting one for ages)! I absolutely love it. Even though it is time intensive, standing at the stove, you get rewarding results! The wooden handle prevents you from getting any burns; just make sure you don't touch the other handle--ouch! Unlike a waffle iron, you don't need to grease the krumkake iron. It seasons itself during the first use! I would recommend this product to anyone who loves good, old-fashioned taste and who doesn't mind spending a couple of hours achieving it.

Harold Imports Mrs. Anderson's 9-Inch Pie Shield Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought these because I was sick of creating foil shields on the pies I bake. I love that these slip perfectly on and off. However, I've found that since they're made of metal or aluminum, they actually conduct heat and cause the crust of the pie to darken faster than the center--which is exactly what I DIDN'T want it to do. That said, I have to admit that while the edges of my pies look darker than the rest, it hasn't come out burnt as it would if I were to bake the pie without any sort of shield.
I'm planning on buying another brand's--something made from silicone instead.

Mrs. Anderson's Pie Crust Shield Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Pyrex pie plates are larger than standard. They're 10" pie plates instead of the usual 9" plates. So I figured that a 10" pie crust shield was what I needed: 10" plate, 10" shield, right?
Wrong. This 10" shield between one-half and one inch too small in diameter to fit what's called a 10" pie plate -- which I learned, after getting out a ruler, is actually 11 inches from outer edge to outer edge. A 10" pie plate apparently has an *interior* measurement of 10 inches, and if the crust goes up onto the edge, then the crust ends up being more than 10" across.
So I'm going to keep looking... hoping... trying to find a substitute for making little tents with aluminum whenever I put a pie in the oven. Wish me luck: I think I'm going to need it.
Meanwhile, it will cost as much in return shipping as I paid for this pie shield, so I'm going to see if one of the neighbors wants it.

Rachael Ray "Bubble and Browns" 1-Quart and 1.5-Quart Oval Baker Stoneware Sets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't think I would use these so often, but I do. I find myself looking for recipes to try, just to use these. They hold heat like you wouldn't believe, they actually cook everything evenly, and they are great to put under the broiler to get nice crisp crusts on casseroles.
The small size is absolutely perfect for a household of two people. It has allowed me to scale down my recipes to work for just two people, and still get the same quality that I would in the full scale version. The rounded sides are great and make it easy to scoop things out. They don't look very deep, but they can hold A LOT.
And, as cliche as it might be, they ARE great from going from the oven to table, and people really are impressed (plus, that makes less dishes to clean up, BONUS!!). Buy these, you will not be disappointed.

Bake a small apple crisp or roast a side dish of seasonal vegetables a baker from this Rachael Ray set of two oval bakers. From Ray\'s Bubble and Brown line of baking dishes, the set offers a small 1-quart baker and a medium 1-1/2-quart baker for cooking small and personalized dishes in the oven. The bakers\' colorful glazed finish and stylish design make them welcome additions to the dinner table for serving cold dishes and salad as well as hot concoctions.
In vitrified, high-fired stoneware, the glazed bakers are nonporous to prevent residual stains or odors and strong for chip and crack resistance. The versatility of stoneware renders the bakers safe for use in the microwave, freezer, dishwasher, and oven, sustaining temperatures up to 500 degrees F. To transfer hot dishes from the oven to the table, wide oval handle holes are provided on both bakers' two 4-inch high ends. Between the ends, the baker\'s height gradually descends to 2 inches at the center of its oval body. The shallow sides at the baker\'s center enable crispier crusts and even browning. For neat storage, the small baker fits inside of the medium baker. The bakers shouldn\'t be subjected to extreme temperature changes as that may cause permanent damage to the stoneware construction. Likewise, avoid freezing liquids in the bakers as they expand upon freezing. Made in China, the baker set is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. The baker set is available in several vivid colors, including orange, green, yellow, and blue. The small baker measures 11-1/2 by 7 by 4-1/2 inches and the medium baker measures 14 by 9-3/4 by 4-1/2. Together, they weigh 7 pounds upon shipping.
