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."

"I really love the pots and pans and have been telling all of my friends about how great these pots and pans are."
"Using Olive Oils and high heat ( like browning onions) will leave an invisible residue bonded to the pan so that no amount of cleaning will remove it and things won't SLIDE around like they show in the commercials."
"Solid (durable) built pots and pans without being heavy feeling in the hand. Plus the inclusion of an Induction Cooking Steel Bottom which adds to the solid build and reduces the warping of the pot/pan bottom."
"The Copper Chef pans do exactly what they say."
"There's only one set available where you can get the 8" lid, that's on the deep pans, but the lid for the 8" deep pan does fit the 8" shallow fry pan as well."
"Called Amazon and they wouldn’t either. All I want is a lid!"
"The documentation states that you might have to cook at lower temperatures because of the "thermal efficiency" of these pans."
The cookware’s hard-anodized aluminum construction heats quickly and offers long-lasting strength, while its warp-resistant even-heat base distributes heat evenly throughout for optimal cooking results. The T-fal Ultimate 10-inch saute pan features tall sides and a wide base that make it useful for a wide range of cooking techniques, from browning and frying to sautéing vegetables or searing fish. Hard Titanium nonstick interior for the ultimate and longest lasting performance.

This is an excellent feature, something I did not have on my previous frying pan, and I always had to keep a pot holder around when I was using it."
"It even states that on the back that there is some sort of magic coating that stops all those horrid scorch marks from sticking (my All-Clads don't have that and iIwish they did because they all look bad on the bottom."
"I highly recommend for everyone to get this pan and all its siblings and cousins."
"He has used the pan on the stove top several times and likes the even heating surface, ease of cleanup, and relative light weight of the pan considering it is 12"."
"This is the first non-stick pan I've purchased that has actually held up over time without getting micro-scratches in the non-stick coating. Slightly annoying, but not a deal breaker."
"I should say that I do not put it in a dishwasher, or take it from hot stove to cool rinse water, but I'd think most people have common sense and wouldn't do that."
"The heat indicator in the middle seems completely useless, but otherwise it's a very good pan."
"I bought this bigger pan seperate from the tfal pots and pans set I bought."

"The two best things about this product are: A: It's cast iron, it will out last you if you take care of it. just spend five minutes after your meal to wash it (no soap needed). dry it (with a dish rag and then on the stove over low to medium heat) oil it (light coat with a paper towel). Ooh, I wanna take ya! Okay, Its only about seven or eight pounds, but you still shouldn't drop it on your toe. Or an Ewok, which is not a Wok at all, but a joke played on all of us by George Lucas."
"The wok does not come with a lid, but for less than $10, you can buy a 13-3/4-inch, Winco WKCS-14 Stainless Steel Wok Cover."
"Not that it mattered, since when I got home I couldn't help but see the big bright yellow Lodge box with a picture of a wok on it... apparently I didn't read the part that said this box shows what is in it...LOL."
"The one I recieved had some blemishes on the inside casting (more than the standard texture).."
"Ended up getting a carbon steel one instead from Walmart for $18."
"Within the first two times we used it, the seasoning went from dark brown to a black....just like the old cast iron."
"as a matter of fact, almost 90% of my cooking is done with this wok now."

Reviews
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."

My iron skillets and kettles are so well-seasoned I don't expect to ever have to use it to clean any of them, but I can recommend it for all of the above cleaning jobs and have no reason to doubt that it works well at restoring cast iron."

It is not clear from the listing above, but if you look closely, below the ordering information, there is a small note stating that this item will ship in its original box. With the extra box, my Lodge arrived very carefully packaged, and the pot was in perfect, pristine condition. The Lodge dutch oven has lovely exterior enamel and the cast iron is a bit heavier than other models."
"Although the item doesn't state it, Lodge replaced all their silly plastic lid knobs with steel ones... meaning they can be in a 500F oven!"
"I haven't cooked in mine yet, but I did in the one my son has and he's had his for a few years, and it's still in perfect condition. Update: After using this gorgeous pot weekly for the past 5 months it still looks brand new as if I just pulled it out of the box with the exception of 1 small pin size spot on the inside enamel missing."

Best Canning Products

Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork, or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture. Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this aluminum pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. Deluxe pressure dial gauge registers the complete range of processing pressures; This precise measurement is especially important at higher altitudes.

Find Best Price at Amazon"(from applesauce to grape juice to green beans to venison). My sister got the All American Canner and we canned side by side a lot so we could compare the two. She can make applesauce in hers w/o burning the bottom (I burned mine), but I can use the Presto one on my glass top oven which she can't do with her All American because of how heavy it is. The All American is a weighted gauge canner, while this Presto one is a dial gauge canner."
"When we move to a lower elevation I will invest in a 5-10-15lb weight because I prefer the jiggler to the pressure gauge. They both work perfectly and I have since purchased the 6 quart pressure cooker and absolutely love it for cooking. I used the 16 quart canner to reheat a rotisserie chicken and it turned out amazing and did it faster and better than the microwave and more moist than the oven. To sum up the capacity: The 23 Qt will hot water bath 7 quarts or 10 pints (stacking is not recommended for water bathing) and. pressure can 7 quarts or 20 pints(double staked). the 16 Qt will hot water bath 10 pints (water bathing quarts is not recommended) and. pressure can 7 quarts or 10 pints. The 6 Qt is not recommended for canning, but makes dinners or sides very quick and easy."
"This pressure canner works very well and I now feel confident in pressure canning even more foods for my family!"
"Gasket seems well made, good solid bottom and top. Gaskets for pressure gauge, over pressure relief valve and main lid gaskets look like main areas of maintenance."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I love to cook, and the technology as well as the ability to have an app where I could store everything to do with my Instant Pot in one place really excited me, so rather than purchasing another Duo I decided to go for the Smart Pot for several reasons, one of which was the convenience of using the app to store recipes that I have created along with cooking/timing instructions that I thought could be stored in the app. Except for the included recipes that come with the app, you must access your recipe elsewhere instead of having your downloaded or created recipes available to reference within the app itself. In other words, you can download scripts that go with recipes from the web, but you can't download the recipe itself, nor the photo included with the recipe/instructions. As of today there are 21 recipes in the app which were included with the app. All you can do is put scripts that go with recipes in there, but no recipes to accompany the scripts. ***Note: The very limited number of recipes that are included with the app have the full recipes, photos, plus instructions included, as well as the script that accompanies the recipe. I assumed when purchasing the Smart Pot, that the recipes on the web which were advertised as being downloadable by Instant Pot would appear the same in the app as the recipes included with the app. Disorganization of recipe scripts: there is no way to categorize or alphabetize added scripts-. As if not being able to write and add recipes or download recipes isn't bad enough, additionally there is also no way to organize scripts. The scripts are difficult to locate, as there is no way to organize them to help you locate the scripts that you have downloaded or customized and added.What happens when you download or create a script is that the name of the script will show up in a little box at the bottom of your app. No photo (or recipe) to accompany that, but just the name of the script and script instructions for pot. To find a recipe script you will have to laterally and literally scroll through all the other recipe script names. (high pressure for 3, release pressure after 10 minutes) Yet still on the app, the script states "Hold to high pressure for 4 minutes", "Pause Hot for 10," "Pause done 01". Also, when the app is running this script the app says the pot is at low pressure when the pot is actually at high pressure. (evident by viewing pressure bars on pot) This bug presents itself when using other recipes in the app as well. *When I use scripts, the scripts finish and the pot doesn't go into "keep warm" mode. Note: What I am doing is using an app called Paprika to store my recipes along with the scripts for the Instant Pot. I simply go from there and create a script in my Instant Pot app to use temporarily. It saves more time and less frustration than trying to find a script within the disorganized Instant Pot app, and since I can't upload or enter a recipe in the app, I have to store recipes in an organized place. Update April 21: For those of you interested in the Instant Pot Smart, I have recently seen via the Instant Pot website (comments under the Smart Pot page and spoken by one of the Instant Pot people) that the new version will be released in May 2015. Copied from Instant Pot site comments: "we expect the Android app to be available in May, roughly coinciding with availability of the updated Instant Pot SMART!" For example I have a script called "Bean Soak" but when I search for it the app can't find it. I was recently short on time so I bumped the Smart Pot script up to 130 for 4 hours and that worked perfectly as well."
"I used to use a food processor which was a mess to clean, now I throw the whole head of cauliflower in my steam basket with 1 cup of water in the instant pot and it's done in 1 minute on manual. Cheesecake, beans, ribs, bbq sauce, chicken pot pie, whole spaghetti squash, hard boiled eggs, I've loved every single thing I've tried so far."
"Here was their response: "Thank you for the pictures, we are sorry that your base got melted did you left the base on after you took the inner pot out or left on top of a heating element, our pot has 10 safety features to prevent any over heating, by the pictures that you send the melting is from the outside in is perfectly melted evenly and clear that was sent on a heating element, you can definitely purchase a new base for $60.00 Please advice." I very clearly explained to them it was having issues cooking things properly and kept burning stuff, and then this happened which smelled like an electrical problem, as there was smoke and a capacitor that popped and noxious fumes.... and the response: "That is correct, the overheating error will appear on the screen and the pot will turn it self off, this damaged was not cause by the heat inside the base, as per your picture the whole heating element is untouched. They're trying to say the overheating error on the screen has to do with electrical fires as well as your food getting too hot.... and that because the heating elements were fine inside the pot that it's obvious the unit didn't malfunction electrically, despite the electrics obviously not being inside the pot, but under, where it burned and melted. After incoherent and very defensive/obstinate responses from customer support, including an email that said "please see the pictures attached from honest customers" with three straight emails sending me pictures I didn't request, I asked the customer support agent to stop and to forward our correspondence to a supervisor. Funny thing is the pictures attached looked nothing like the damage to my unit, but whatever, after requesting to speak with a supervisor the customer service agent said she'd send me a new base. From denying your product could ever be faulty, to then determining with a few pictures that not only was it the customer's fault but that it would be a good idea to send three straight emails to the customer with pictures of OTHER people's damage claiming it's from 'honest' customers, and of course trying to SELL the customer a new product every step of the way."

If I can figure out how I will post a photo of before and after a couple minutes of vinegar.

"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."

In the bottom pan I took 2 cups of washed long grain. brown rice with 4 cups of water (I like my rice soft reduce the water if. you like it not too soft). Added 2 cups of water to the IP¹s inner pot, covered top pan with lid, inserted the ekovana pans using the handle and. set IP in manual mode for 10mins high and allow NPR. I have also used the pans to steam cook potatoes, eggs and other. veggies.While steaming and reheating, I do not add any water to the. ekovana pans."
