If I can figure out how I will post a photo of before and after a couple minutes of vinegar. I just added a very small amount of vinegar, about 2 T probably, swished it around let it sit for a minute, applied a sponge, rinsed, dried and bam see next photo."
"The Cuisinart multiclad pro 12 piece set has turned me into the man of the kitchen I've always wanted to be. This set makes me feel like I CAN make more than just something to eat, were actually making delicious meals and it created a "drive" to cook better because we know we are capable now! We use this for all of the food we cook daily and as you fellow avid reviewers may have read, Bar Keepers Friend really what you've heard!"
"Pros: +Really good looking (I greatly prefer the brushed exterior over polished). +Set includes a lid that will fit each pan (not all at the same time, though). +Curved lip for easy pouring. +Includes exactly the pieces I'd want. +Overall build quality rivals that of sets costing 2x the price or more. +Will probably last a lifetime. Cons: -Does take a bit of work to get used to and maintain (proper preheating and use of oil as well as a bit more elbow grease to clean over non-stick). -Questionable warranty (representative placed strong emphasis on the word "LIMITED" before "Lifetime", customer pays shipping BOTH WAYS). I almost went for the Tramontina Tri-Ply Clad pieces you can pick up for a reasonable price at Wal-Mart, but decided against it as this set looks better visually and includes all the pieces I wanted; finding all the Tramontina pieces I'd need looked like quite a chore. If you understand the pros and cons of cooking in stainless and decide to go with it over non-stick, this set is the one to look at if you want something to last a lifetime."

NOTE:The One Egg Wonder is on the inside of the Dutch Oven in brown paper and is packed inside a 5 quart pot.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I have been meaning to write a review about this product because when I saw some convincing reviews that this is a horrible product and showed pictures of how bad they were I almost did not buy them. My wife and I both work so we normally cook enough on the weekends to so we have leftovers during the week. I have a gas range with the iron grates so these guys have no love on their bottoms. They are very light which is good but it is also something to be mindful of since it can easily go sliding on the stove top. Each item is well balanced and the handle never gets hot to the touch. We use all types of utensils plastic and metal and we had our first little nick in the finish which I will point out in the photo. We have used it about a dozen times after that and it has not flaked or any change so I am not concerned about it. They are reusing some pictures that do not reflect the T-Fal Titanium line. That pan is perfect in my humble opinion just too big for normal everyday use."
"Glass lids with steam holes were a must for me and there aren't that many choices. The week before, I returned a Calphalon cookware set that was suppose to have cool handles but they got hot, especially the lids. I did season all of my pans by heating them thoroughly on medium heat and then wiping the surface with a paper towel soaked with some olive oil. I used a rubber coated set of tongs to wipe the hot pans. I have heated the pans for over 10 minutes on medium high heat and the pans were really hot, but the dot never changed color. I have to be careful and make sure to hold on to the pans when I stir, or they could easily slide off my glass stove top.

"The first time I used it, the bottom got this ugly brown stain on it that will not come off. I have used every piece, and it cooks evenly, doesn't stain or scratch. I can't believe I got so many pieces of this quality for such a reasonable price!"

While the pan is hot, I take a little bit of Crisco Shortening (about a tablespoon) and drop it in the pan, using a pasty brush I spread the melted shortening over the full interior surface, then I take a paper towel and wipe out any excess (but not too dry you want it to have a slight sheen to it), then I rub the outside of the pan, including the handle, sides and bottom. If you do have a sticking when the pan has cooled add hot water only, allow to soak for about 15 minutes or so and clean as usual."
"But really, the proof in the quality of this cast iron was obvious when i made sweet potato corn bread and baked it in the oven in this skillet. I'm enclosing pictures, so you can see the nice way it cooked the corn bread on both the top and bottom of the bread."
"I love this skillet!"
"Perfect for egg muffin sandwiches, it's the right size and height after cooking compared to the "Mc" brand."
"To season the pan (yes, it is pre-seasoned, but...if you want the BEST non-stick pan...) just coat the pan with a light coating of cooking oil and put it in the oven (upside down) at 450 for 20 minutes. Then, turn the oven off and let the pan cool off. The best part is when a recipe requires cooking in a pan and then transferring the contents into bakeware, so it can be placed in the oven."

With the extra box, my Lodge arrived very carefully packaged, and the pot was in perfect, pristine condition.

The chain that comes with the rack is I believe a plastic composite NOT METAL, you may want to go to your local hard ware store and get metal as I know I will soon. The center metal rack just sits on top of 4 metal tabs so I don't recommend putting anything too heavy on it, however one pot and some lids should be more than fine."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Here are the steps I took to season and clean my skillet: Seasoning the skillet: I placed foil on the bottom of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. I fried some bacon in the skillet and lid and as I suspected the meat stuck to the bottom. Cleaning the skillet: It is easier to clean the skillet when it is still a bit warm, but please use caution. Using Morton’s sea salt and a paper towel I began to scrub the skillet (you can also use a raw potato and sea salt). Once clean I rinsed out the skillet and immediately put it on low heat for about 2 minutes to evaporate any water. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent rusting. A couple of notes: NEVER submerge a cast iron skillet in water as it will cause rust). NEVER use soap. NEVER put a cast iron skillet in the dishwasher. If you do have rust – use steel wool to scour and remove the rust."

Ready to Use: Factory Seasoning To provide you with a ready to use cast-iron skillet, all our cast-iron cookware pass through factory pre-seasoning stage in which soy-based oil is used on these high head allowing the polymers to create an initial layer of seasoning. Factory seasoning is just a kick-start to your cookware’s seasoning life. Making Your First Meal: It is highly recommended to start with frying Bacon as it enhances the factory seasoning layer by adding, even more, oils to the coating although anything else might do the trick. To Boost Seasoning: Meat contains fats that enhance your cast-iron seasoning. Maintain The Seasoning: Before cooking, rub some olive oil over your cookware’s surface. Enjoy a Healthy Lifestyle With cast-iron cookware, you do not need to use large amounts of oil to give those potatoes a golden crispy color or. Apply a thin, even layer of melted solid vegetable fat (or cooking oil of your choice) to the cookware inside and out. Iron deficiency is fairly common worldwide especially among women so cooking food in a cast iron skillet can increase iron content by as much as 20%.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Let me preface this by saying I have been using cast iron pans pots and dutch ovens for years now ALL my cookware is cast. I had read some of the other reviews for this pan and I do agree with one lady the coating on the pan is a little rough, but that goes back to pre seasoned cast iron its all that way. These are pans that your great grandchildren will treasure and these pans will make you a MUCH better cook IF you learn the difference between these and the others. because heat drying is the KEY to cast iron care.... do NOT put a damp pan in the cabinet it will rust and no your dish towel will not dry these pans well heat them up.... thats the only way to make sure your not putting your cast in the cabinet to rust. I can tell this will be an amazing pan because I pulled it out of the oven 30 min ago and it is still warm to the touch.... why is that good... it tells me that this pan will retain heat from stove to table so my family won't eat cold food after grace AND that the metal used is quality. (ps if you cook over the fire scrub the outside of the pan with soap when your ready to bring it to the stove again or your hands will forever be black from handling the pan!"
"Other ways it differs from the Teflon pan is that it takes longer to heat up, but once it is hot it does a better job at distributing and maintaining heat. Once I remember it is dirty, I run it under hot water and wash away food debris with The Ringer (another great product on amazon, it's a stainless steel, mesh cleaner). This takes roughly 15-30 seconds, remember it doesn't have to be perfect (best part), you just need the food chunks off."
"SEASONING the pan prior to use is EASY and very IMPORTANT: What You Need. Dish soap, Sponge or stiff brush, Clean, dry cloth or paper towels, Vegetable oil or shortening (I prefer shortening). 1. Using a cloth or paper towel, apply a thin coat of vegetable oil or melted shortening to the inside >> and outside << of the skillet. You'll know it's time to re-season if food sticks to the surface or if the skillet appears dull or rusted. If items start to stick, or the pan loses a bit of it's shine just repeat the process. I received this item at a moderate discount in return for a honest and unbiased review."

Find Best Price at Amazon"No one likes having his or her food come out burnt on the outside and undercooked on the inside, or one side being more cooked than the other due to burner `hot spotting'. Good quality cookware with a more even heating transfer is one of the easiest ways to avoid this. $1,000 on a set of standard All-Clads, a few niche pots for your favorite food types with a steamer, and a nice cutlery set (Shun or Mosimoto, for example) is something that will last decades where as spending $10 a day on lunch doesn't last long at all, but it sure adds up fast. The durability of these over the models costing ¼ to ½ the price is also pretty substantial. And if you move to a place with a different stove, you can take comfort in knowing that All-Clad cookware excels with gas, electric, induction, side-heat, and open pit cooking. Exotic cookware such as enameled iron, carbon steel, carbon fiber, ceramic, and organic materials all have some positives, but weaknesses at the points of either costs, durability, heat conductivity, upkeep, or a combination of the above...and these issues are enough to exclude these from fitting the needs of most people. Stainless on the outside, aluminum on the inside (and with All-Clad's higher end models, add copper and multiple cores). Also, many people note that the rivets on the handle of All-Clad makes cleaning in the area somewhat difficult...and I agree. The rivets are massive and as soon as you pick up a pot and run your finger over them, you will see they are heavy duty. The little extra cleaning effort is worth this level of durability as those rivets will give decades of great usage. A 30 second clean with Bar Keeper's Friend will make them looking consistently good with minimal effort. If they show a few scratches, who cares?...it's a device used to make food, not an art museum display. I don't like these, and if you spend a lot on cookware, I would advise NOT buying anything that is labeled as non-stick and a coating is what is used to give non-stick properties. If you are thinking about clad, get the stainless surfaces as it will be easier to maintain, last longer, and can withstand incredible abuse. Also, cooking practice makes it easier to reduce sticking with stainless cookware...for example, something like olive oil and slightly lower heat does wonders."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I decided to go with stainless steel because no matter how much it sticks, you can always get it out with Bar Keepers Friend, soaking or as a last resort; steel wool. Read all the reviews before getting it and noticed a lot say it does not heat up well enough, it sticks, it doesn't clean well, the lid is too heavy and the wok is too light, and to only use it on medium low heat to avoid burned or stuck food. I tried it on medium low heat and it had so little heat that I could touch the sides of the pan and it wast even warm to the touch. I finally decided to use it on high heat, which is how stir-fry is supposed to be cooked at and everything worked great. Whatever leftover food stains on the wok can be worked out with some soaking and Bar Keepers Friend. As for the wok being too light, that's generally how it should be as the method used during stir-fry is to lift the wok up with one hand and dish/scrape the food onto a place with the other. If there's still food stains, use Bar Keepers Friend. I'm happy with this purchase."
"It makes sense that some people may have simply overlooked this, and started boiling water, cook steak etc, on high heat and then been confused as to why things were burning."
"However... the rivets that they used to attach the handles onto the cookware are made of cheap crap. The first time I made a soup in the stock pot I had to store the pot in the fridge for a couple of days. I don't understand why you would make a good pan, but attach the handles with cheap product that break down from simple food and washing over time."
"How a manufacturer van make a pot and handles out of stainless steel and use a rivet with a lesser grade of SS is I am sure not a design flaw but a part substitution."
"After it was done, I turned the heat OFF, took some on my plate and put the lid on to keep the rest of the food warm."
"While the pan is nice, I received a defective glass lid that shattered the first time I used it, while cooking with it."
"I commented on another review that wrote that the glass top shattered, but I feel the need to write another so that this can product can have a lower star review and to encourage people NOT to buy this product. This is a big safety issue that has seriously made me consider not buying any Cuisinart products as this should have been tested."
Best Griddles

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It is large enough to sear several steaks at a time, giving them a beautiful flavorful crust. Eggs, pancakes, french toast, grilled cheese, bacon, stir fry, salmon, literally everything I have thrown at it has been cooked faster and with more flavor than a normal pan. I can heat the griddle as hot as I like, unlike teflon cookware which can damage the nonstick properties. Lodge claims that the griddle is already pre-seasoned, but the first time I tried cooking some sunny side up eggs I ended up with a burnt crusty omelet that stuck to the pan. Thus, I began my Google search for the best method to season a cast iron pan. This basically means that the fat content in the flax oil breaks down readily at high heat and forms a tough film that gives cast-iron its non-stick properties. Again you want to make sure you do not go over 400 degrees because then the oil begins to smoke too quickly and the process of forming the hard coat is rushed. You may also want to open your windows and turn on the fan, the oil is essentially burning into smoke which may irritate your eyes and lungs. After an hour, turn off your stove and let the pan come to room temperature or cool enough to handle. Contrary to popular belief, a well-seasoned cast iron pan will NOT lose its coat with soap."
"We just got a new stove and compared to the old el'cheapo model, the difference in output is astonishing. I laughed when I saw a IR image of heat distribution and the belly aching about it. Enough to hash-mark the pork loin I cooked last night. You could light one back burner on medium and I guarantee you that in a half hour, if you try to pick it up form the end furthest away form the heat source that you'll be severely burned. Use something that wont scratch and scrape it clean under warm running water while the griddle is still warm...Then place it back on the stove and reheat to remove all water."
"Anyways, I had a hard time deciding and checked out Lodge's website as they have detailed measurements in PDF form available. I couldn't find any decent comparison pictures so I decided to add my own so others can make a decision to suit thei needs. I use the Lodge silicone egg rings though, and they work well and you can fit a bunch on this product for easy cooking. Easy way to cook lots of bacon or making hot sandwiches or just about anything."
