Buyers beware! This product does not work as advertised. I’m incredibly disappointed—can’t believe I spent $86.44 on something that now just sits in my kitchen collecting dust. Total waste of money.

This is a beautiful and well-made pan. I’m eliminating all inherited aluminum cookware, do NOT want coated surfaces of any sort, so I love the stainless steel. I needed something to go from stovetop to oven, and I just don’t trust myself with my big cast iron pan anymore. That said, this isn’t lightweight - it has considerable heft to it and holds a lot as well. It’s helpful to bear in mind the total weight of a full pan. I’m glad I opted for the sauté versus fry pan, as I really needed that extra depth. I would never manage it without the helper handle, which is substantial and easy to grip. The hollow handle does get hot even on the stovetop, so I find it best to treat it like cast iron from that respect. I love cooking with it and while I haven’t yet done it, I can see I could easily roast a chicken in this pan. Cleans up easily and is nice enough to leave on the stovetop, which is a good thing because it takes up a lot of cabinet space!

Filters water prior to making coffee, makes coffee taste better than unfiltered. Plus it is beautiful

I bought this crepe pan in Oct 2020. Since then I've used it everyday at least twice a day, sometimes more than that. Started with simple soap and warm water wash, wiped it and then started using it. I've used it initially on coils for first 8 months, always between medium-high heat and the same with gas stove. After I'm done using it, I always remove it from heat immediately on a colder side of the stove, thus avoiding unnecessary overheating. Another simple care is I never use water on it when it was hot. For cleaning it, simple tap water is best except when I used oil on it. For any oil cooking, normal dish soap and soft sponge was sufficient. I've cooked eggs, many sorts of flatbreads (used twice everyday for Indian flatbreads) and different types of crepes, pancakes, dosa and....many more! Never had any warping problem or any other problem. Great for both with and without oil cooking. I've never used it in oven so no idea about that. After putting it to rigorous use all these months, now my pan looks like this, little scratches and discoloration at some places. But it is working really fine, no issues with over heating or even heat distribution. If used reasonably with proper cleaning and with non-metal spatula, this pan is really really good! Might buy another one as a back up.

Blades are bowed. Poor quality. Company makes it difficult to return.

I have a 15 inch jelly roll pan, that fits in my new toaster oven, so I was looking for some wider 15 inch pans that would also fit in there and give me more surface area… These are great pans, however they do not fit in my Wolff toaster oven. They are 15 1/2 inches from edge of rim to edge of rim on the top, and that doesn’t quite make it in there. Very sturdy very lovely otherwise, four-star’s only because they lied about the size.

This is our second ice cream maker in 18 years and it is all you need because it’s so easy to use. We bought a second bowl so we can make a lot of ice cream in a short period of time. It is a little noisy but you can put it somewhere else and close the door. It only takes 25 to 35 minutes depending on your recipe. I highly recommend it.

This has been a WONDERFUL addition to my kitchen! Want a cup of soup from a soup mix? Use the instant hot water dispenser. (Which also steams milk, etc. with a turn of the button.) Want a quick cup of pick-me-up espresso? Use the single serve function and your choice of Nespresso originals. Want to brew a cup of tea with those tasty loose teas in your cupboard that you never brew because you don't want to have to clean the tea strainer? Use a Fanativita Disposable Coffee Filter for K-Carafe with a Cuisinart SS-RFC HomeBarista Reusable Filter Cup and all you'll do is pull the biodegradable/compostable paper filter out and toss it or recycle. I highly recommend this Barista system and also the two other products I mention above. They will add pleasure and convenience to your daily routine. By the way, my husband just loves that he can have hot cocoa any morning he wants it....even if we're out of milk. :) (I also got the delicious Starbucks hot cocoa K-Cup Pods.) Little treats to share and enjoy can make your day!

I love it because it’s more durable an safe than the original made of glass

Worked great for a few years, but then deformed in the dishwasher requiring me to purchase another replacement.

This is my second mixer. Although decent, it's slightly hindered by poor controls and layout. I bought this mixer on a pre-Christmas sale for $129. For that price, it's great. But price aside, there are a few design issues that makes this mixer not as good as my 15 yr old Kitchenaid. Poor ergonomic head latch/release mechanism: ------------------------------------------------------- See my first picture. Raising and lowering the mixing head requires two hands on the Cuisinart, whereas on the Kitchenaid, this can be done with just one hand. On the Cuisinart, the release latch is poorly located way at the back of the unit. It's harder to reach. Furthermore, the latch is spring loaded which mandates two-handed operation. It requires one hand reaching way back and depressing the locking lever against a spring, and SIMULTANEOUSLY, requires a second hand at the front to raise or lower the head. This is really inconvenient because when I'm working with the mixer, my hands are often covered with flour, oil, sticky syrup, or dough. With the Kitchenaid, the latching mechanism is on the side. It' much closer to the user, and it's also not spring loaded. So with one hand, I can release the head on the Kitchenaid, and then with the same hand, tilt the head up (or down). It can be a 2-step process but it requires only one hand. Again, this is immensely useful when one hand is clean and the other hand has been in batter. There is a safety argument in favor of the Cuisinart however: it is not possible to accidentally have the head down and unlocked, and it's not possible to have the head up and accidentally bump it such that it falls down. (both these scenarios are possible with the Kitchenaid, with the unlocked head in the down position being a rather common and benign occurrence with me.) However, the rear location of the locking mechanism is inconvenient and probably a deal breaker for ADA (wheelchair) usage. The speed control knob is poor: ------------------------------ From an ergonomics perspective, I generally recommend knobs over sliders for variable controls. For example, light dimmers, volume controls, fan speed, etc. In the case of these mixers, I have found that it's the opposite: A lever is better than a knob. On the Kitchenaid, the speed control is a lever and it's sensibly placed so that the slider is front<->back, making it relatively easy to operate. I can effectively change the speed of the mixer on the Kitchenaid with my left PALM or WRIST when my hands are dirty. Also, because I'm right handed, I tend to get my left hand dirty more often while cooking so I do tend to operate the lever with whatever clean part of my hand I can find. For some people this is a non-issue. They don't mind getting dough/grease/syrup etc on the mixer because they know they will clean it up afterwards, but it does cause contamination or unintended mixing of trace ingredients for people that don't mind getting their mixer dirty while cooking. On the Cuisinart, the speed control is a knob. It requires 2-3 FINGERS to grip the knob to turn it. Again, the problem here is that sometimes both hands get a little messy when cooking, and having to wipe dry or wipe clean fingers before I can change the mixer speed is a hassle. BTW, controls at the front or top of the mixer would have been better placed. I would guess this should be trivial to do with today's low cost electronics, but would require a design change. Other complaints: --------------------- The head on the Cuisinart is longer and moves (deflects) more. i.e. in technical terms, we say it has a longer moment-arm. In lay terms, it means it sticks out further and thus has more movement when mixing. This would be expected if the mixing bowl was larger on the Cuisinart, but it is not. Both mixing bowls are the same diameter. So the Kitchenaid is better designed in this area. The Cuisinart is lighter overall so might vibrate a bit more. The heavier Kitchenaid is slightly more stable when mixing. (However, the motor on my new Cuisinart mixer is quieter than the motor on my 15 year old Kitchenaid.) The Good: ------------ The front of the unit looks better on the Cuisinart. The Battlestar Galactica Centurion cyclops looking magnetic cover that sits in front of the attachment connection is cleaner on the Cuisinart than the Kitchenaid's protruding cylinder. However, this magnetic cover, while it does look better to me, it's very easy to bump and knock off, and have it fall into the batter. The holding mechanism (a magnet) is not very secure. My Cuisinart attachments work on the Kitchenaid and my Kitchenaid attachments work my Cuisinart. They seem interchangable in both directions as far as I can tell. The higher power 600W motor on the Cuisinart makes a difference. I have a grain mill mixer attachment. It uses quite a bit of power to grind grains into flour. On the Kitchenaid, 300W is not enough. The Cuisinart's 600W motor is noticeably more powerful for this. The splash guard for the Cuisinart is better (more effective at preventing splash-out than the one that came with my Kitchenaid. So my feeling are mixed (pun intended) between these two mixers. If I were to just have one due to space constraints, I'd spend more money to get a higher powered Kitchenaid. It's just nicer to use from day-to-day. But having two mixers is handy, especially when making pasta. I can put the dough sheeter attachment on one mixer and the pasta cutter on the other one. I can quickly sheet, then cut the dough into pasta. It greatly improves workflow. For people that have the space, for $130, getting a second mixer was well worth it.

This BKSP1 (black stainless appearance) 14-cup coffeemaker replaced a 12+ year old Cuisinart 12-cup unit we used until it finally quit working. Great coffeemaker and it produced great coffee. My research to replace the old unit settled on the BKSP1 model and cuisinartoutlets.com delivered straight-a-way. I got it all cleansed out, programmed and set up for begin brewing at 4:45 the next morning. It brewed a great pot of coffee and all worked wonderfully ... EXCEPT that the clock on the BKSP1 was running FAST. It had "gained" almost an hour since I had set it up the day before. Thus the coffee was actually brewed at ~3:45AM. I reset the clock and kept watching it as I would walk by the coffeemaker and noted that it was gaining time or running FAST. I went through this for several days and finally sent a message to cuisinartoutlets.com C.S. and they immediately replaced with another BKSP1 and I returned the original unit. I went through the setup process with the #2 BKSP1 and was hopeful that the clock would keep proper time ... however it did not. The clock on the #2 BKSP1 also ran FAST. The coffeemaker worked just fine in all regards ... save for the clock running FAST. So, I reached out to Cuisinart/Conair C.S. with this "fast clock" issue and they replaced the #2 BKSP1 with the #3 BKSP1. I did all the setup with #3 and lo & behold ... the clock on the #3 BKSP1 also runs FAST. All other elements work just fine, brews great coffee, but the clock just has a mind of it's own. So (you can guess what is next), I reached out to Cuisinart/Conair C.S. (again) with the fast clock issue noted in graf above. A ticket was established and I was shipped a #4 BKSP1 to replace the #3 unit. Can you see where this is going? The #4 BKSP1 unit was set up and put into service and the clock on #4 also runs FAST. So ... it appears that there is something common going on with the BKSP1 model units. This time I called Cuisinart/Conair C.S. (I had been establishing all other tickets via the inter-web and e-mail). The lady with C.S. was simply excellent and she noted my BKSP1 ticket history and said she would have another unit shipped out straight-a-way. She asked if I still wanted the same BKSP1 model or would I want to get the SP1 model (SP1 is the brushed stainless appearance). I figured what the heck ... I would get the SP1 this time. In a couple days I received the #5 SP1, got it all set up and ready to brew coffee the next morning at 4:45. I would glance at the clock on the #5 SP1 as I walked by the unit and the clock was ACCURATE. I was again hopeful that the clock would hold and keep proper time. At 4:45AM the brew cycle started and it actually was at 4:45AM. The clock held it's accuracy for one day at that point. It has now been 3-days and the clock on the #5 SP1 is "spot on". So (there is the 'so' word again) I noted on the boxes the coffeemakers were shipped in had the countries of manufacture stamped on them. The BKSP1 units were all manufactured in China. The SP1 unit was manufactured in Indonesia. AHA - I said. There is a manufacturing plant issue going on. I did an extensive observation letter to Cuisinart/Conair about my situation and thoughts of what is going on. BTW - In addition the BKSP1 units all dripped extensive moisture droplets down the back side of the unit when the top lid was opened to removed the coffee grounds. This had me wondering if there was a leak as there was water all over the counter under the BKSP1 units. Turns out the drip lip on the upper back of the BKSP1 appears to be 'flat' without adequate slope to have the water droplets flow back into the reservoir. Also the drip lip is not as deep as what I noticed on the SP1 units. I also observed (on both the BKSP1 and SP1 models) that there is a lot of moisture condensation that collects on the upper front panel where the control buttons are located. To me this could affect the electronics that I'm guessing is located near or behind this panel. Ergo couple items of note for Cuisinart/Conair: 1) Production molds for the BKSP1 and SP1 are NOT the same between the China and Indonesia manufacturing plants. Thus the drip lip issue noted above. 2) The chips/electronics being used in the China plant for the BKSP1 are defective and can't keep proper time. All-in-all ... The Cuisinart 14-cup coffeemaker is an excellent product and works very well and produces great coffee. Save for the units (in my case) that are manufactured in China where the chips/electronics they are using just don't work. Adding to that the manufacturing mold difference that slightly changes the size of the drip lip on the upper back. I would suggest getting the the SP1 model and keep your fingers crossed that it is also manufactured in Indonesia as opposed to China. At least until such time as changes are made in the manufacturing facility in China to correct the noted issues. Cheers, Nolan K.
