This a nice pasta boiler. Overall quality seems pretty solid. As you can see in the picture, there's some sort of discoloration at the bottom, but I don't think this is a product flaw. Between the type of metals and the minerals in my tap water, I believe this normal. The lid locks on tight, which makes for safely pouring out the hot water. Just make sure you have a good set of pot holders on hand. Be mindful of your cooking temps and water level. Despite the top being partially vented, I've had some near boil overs, which was completely my fault. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product.
I like the looks of the Cuisinart CPT-640 with its simple controls and lack of complex functions that might limit the longevity of the unit. The problem starts when you first handle it and realize it has a tactile feel that is just as bad as the most economical models. The next major problem with the CPT-640 is that the heating wire is only wound approximately 8 1/2 times (see photo), not the more densely wound 14 times of the better models. Fewer winds of the heating wire mean it toasts slower and less evenly. It makes sense that it is also a way to lower manufacturing costs. I would guess Cuisinart will defend their use of less heating wire by saying it is lower wattage and is therefore more efficient. I'm all for efficiency but efficiency for who? There is an expense to be paid for less wire and that is the consumer's time in the kitchen. One piece of Sourdough took 2 minutes and 21 seconds, and as the photo shows, it wasn't toasted very dark nor evenly. A budget $25 model will toast just as even and fast, if not faster and more evenly than the Cuisinart CPT-640. Bottom line, if you're looking for a better than average toaster, this is definitely not it. Because it looks good and does make toast (albeit unevenly) I gave it two stars.
Product is nearly impossible to use. It’s like solving a Rubik’s cube. Once I finally got the product to started cracking; releasing pieces of plastic into the food being chopped. DO NO RECOMMEND.
I bought these to replace my knife block that sat on my counter top and gathered dust I wanted knives I could put in a drawer. These not only are they bright and happy colored but the grip is a nice size and they work so well. They’re very sharp and I also like the protection covers they come with since I have young kids. They’re easy to clean and dishwasher safe too. I got them since they were super affordable and I have loved using them as I use them daily. Highly recommend!
Awesome rack! I just ordered a second one. I am currently hanging 4 cast iron Le creuset pieces on it and it's perfect. Very strong. Centerline of the screw holes are 32" so it's made to match up with typical household stud spacing. You will need an impact driver or 10mm socket to get those bolts into the studs. Very easy with my impact, very hard without one so plan on that. The only modification I'll be making is I will slip some clear tubing over the hooks so I don't have any metal rubbing on the enameled handles. Also I'll split a piece of clear tubing and slip it over the edge where I have a pot lid sitting, again so I don't get any enamel damage.
I bought this pan in 2012 and it is still going strong! I use it often, mainly for baking chicken and steaks in my oven since I don't have a bbq. The finish has held up great and it cleans easily. The handle does get hot so I just use a pot holder. It's also a bit heavy which I think adds to its quality. I would definitely buy it again but I don't think I will ever need to because it will most likely out live me!
Product arrived within 4 days of order. Not a simple assembly but maybe took 1 hour and everything fit together well. Not super challenging. Looks so cute and is a gift for my mother in law so she can enjoy her outside living space longer into the cold seasons. She was thrilled with how it looks and that she will have a cute heat source. 5 stars the day the fireplace arrived the price online was reduced by$50. i reached out to customer service and was helped with a credit. Good customer service cuisinartoutlets.com!!
I’m very picky regarding servingware. However, I was beyond pleased with this warning dish. I bought two of them for my Halloween party this past weekend and they exceeded my expectations. I look forward to using them at many more family get togethers and lots of party’s. I’m going to order a couple of the oval and the larger rectangular one. The dish kept the foot warm and evenly distributed the heat from the tea candles. I was skeptical but now I’m thrilled with my purchase!! Update: I use these at least once a month. Weddings, receptions, party’s and Office luncheons.
I purchase this pans as new but when I open the box it was repacked on brown box and the big pan was used and stain they were all wrap up on white tissue paper for gift as you can see inside the brown box very disappointed. Specially because of the price that I paid for this 3 coking pans !!
I love the electric kettle. It heats up fairly fast. You can see the amount of water in it once you turn it on to heat up, which lights up the water area. I posted a video so you could see when I shake the kettle, the water level moves which makes it easier to see. In the photographs and video. It is more difficult to see than it is in person. So far, we have no issues with it.
I needed to chop my son's food as he doesn't chew well (handicapped, no teeth). This little chopper does exactly what I need it to do. First picture is from a frozen meal, second picture is the results after a few seconds of chopping. Third picture is ham before, fourth picture is after. The fifth picture is pieces of a rotisserie chicken, last picture is after. The food is rather dry after chopping so I generally add some barbecue sauce or gravy to lessen the chance of my son choking and to keep the particles together. I have chopped the meat with the gravy or sauce in with it and it turns out well. As can be seen, I don't chop a lot of food at a time usually but it does handle a good bit more with no problem. Cleanup is easy. I've used this chopper an average of 5 or 6 times a week since the first of the year and it is holding up fine. For my needs, I couldn't be more pleased with it.
Purchased pot to make stock. After the 3rd time, all four rivets became pitted & white. Disgusting & disappointing.
These are really nice bookends. They are well-made, heavy enough and have a nice, non-skid bottom that helps keep the bookends from sliding away from the books. They are attractive, too. I like the tree design so the cover of the book next to it can be seen through it. I am planning on ordering a second pair.
Love this kettle! Warms up super fast, looks good and is awesome quality!
It's 17 degrees out, but inside it's 74 degrees and climbing and I'm only running on low! I'm using my Chimenea inside an 8' x 8' greenhouse (think outdoor dining hut) and it's doing a great job warming it up when the temperature is low. I'll note I can place a hand on the sides, back, and top cap without being too hot to the touch - most of the heat is going to warming the hut. I do have adequate ventilation, but I also use a Carbon Monoxide sensor and it's never gone above 0 PPM. Assembling the Chimenea was straightforward and relatively simple. The instructions were reasonably close, and the images will get you in the area, but may not point to exactly the right hole for assembly. Be prepared to apply gentle pressure to pieces to fit into the right spots. Have a screwdriver handy that can get you into tight spots especially when assembling the upper part of the body. The unit will be wobbly until you get ALL of the pieces in place! I'll note the shipping carton arrived looking a bit rough, but it did what it's supposed to and it protected the product. However, I do have to subtract a few tenths points because of quality issues: bent edges, marred finish, and some other imperfections. All in all, I'd give it a 4.8, but I'm enjoying the heck out of it so it's a 5 and I'd recommend buying it!
