Definitely a buy for home or college...Design team you almost have a home run K-Cup machine...missed on 4 subtle issues... Next model design.. Reservoir should be 16oz for 20oz travel, cutout for 20oz travel needs to be wear the top and bottom crease matches up on machine, "bold button" for 20oz - yes a slower poor adding 1-2min, and lastly what is up with the peach handle??
I bought this Cuisinart air fryer/toaster oven to replace a more expensive model, and I’m so glad I did. It looks sleek and modern on the countertop—very clean stainless steel design—and performs beautifully across all its functions. I’ve used it for baking, broiling, air frying, and toasting, and everything cooks evenly and quickly. The controls are intuitive, and the interior is roomy enough for a variety of meals, from small pizzas to roasted veggies. One important tip: make sure to check the dimensions before buying—it’s a bit large and needs some clearance, especially in smaller kitchens. That said, it’s absolutely worth the counter space for the versatility and quality. I trust the Cuisinart brand, and this product lives up to that reputation. Highly recommend!
The glass lid exploded the first time I used it. Shattered pieces of glass went into the soup and all over the kitchen.
Why Cuisinart would put their name on this thing is beyond me. Broke first use with barely any pressure. There’s a little piece of plastic connecting the two aluminum parts of the handle. Maybe it was a manufacturing fluke. The scraper is maybe 2” wide. The brass bristles bent first use and one popped out. The photos are very deceiving. It looks larger but this thing is barely wide enough for a EZ bake oven. About as cheap as you would find in a dollar store.
Perfect size for our bar area . The black is just right as I did not want it to look like kitchen stainless appliance. Ordered one for reds and one for whites instead of purchasing bulky dual temp zone. 18 bottles each and champagne and taller bottles fit just fine. I do not notice the noise at all and this is bar off of our main living room. Recommend 100%. Will update if any mechanical issues in the future.
Great coffee maker but do not buy it in white!!! Every splatter shows up, even if you wipe it after brewing… the spring mechanism releases splatter every time you put the carafe back on the coffeemaker. The coffee also stains…even though we soak it and wash the pot and lid after each use, the area where the coffee drips through the lid is starting to discolor after only a month of use!! Taking the lid completely off can lead to a mess if someone forgets to put it back on before brewing…the water will overflow the drip area, leaving coffee grounds everywhere…under the drip basket. We had to take all the pieces apart to find why we were still getting grounds in our coffee days later….we thought we had cleaned it all!! Lastly, there is a lip at the top of the pot which does not allow the water to completely empty. Turning the pot 100% upside down does not help… water collects in the rim. These design flaws make it hard for me to live thus coffee maker… it looks fabulous in my kitchen, but….. maybe in black next time, but more likely a different one altogether
DOSE NOT LAST! Steak knives fall apart after a couple months due to poor quality plastic & no tang, even though they're made to look like full tang FAKE! The plastic is just bad even the chef's knife and santoku knife handles are cracking. The only reason I'm righting this review is because these are popular knives and there rated 4.7 stars witch is very misleading making buyers think they're good quality, when in reality there basically only usable a couple times before they start to fall apart (Disposable) which is not what there marketed as with a "lifetime warranty" Instills a false sense of quality witch these knives do NOT have! That said when they're new they work well and are ergonomic, but I only recommend them if you only plan to use them a couple time!
We absolutely love ours. We use them daily for lunch and dinner especially when on the go. We can eat our vegetables and proteins without added fats. Perfect size for any meals. Made very well. Sturdy. Durable. Cleans up easy. Fits in my lunch bag well. Cooks food much faster than on a plate or bowl. Highly recommend.
I got this on sale, and so glad I bought it! The pans are sturdy, thicker than most, no rusting, great finish, and are wonderful to cook in. I use all of them (not at once) in a household of 2, and they've elevated my cooking experience tremendously. Easy to clean; I use Sponge Mama for most things. Anything stubborn, a little steel wool takes it right off. It also helps to soak the pans after they cool down. I will not use coated pans, so these are perfect for me. The sizes and varieties of the pans are perfect for my, and I'm sure many others, cooking experiences. These are so well made, they'll outlast me! Totally recommend
I only got to the large pot and this was the second pan I unpacked. Packed it back up and returning it. I really liked the looks and feel so I’ll return for another set of the same brand, hopefully that package will have better quality control. If it doesn’t the I’ll try to find a manufacturer that isn’t in China!! So disappointing.
This is a longer review than I usually leave because I struggled with this machine early on and significantly benefitted from tips that others left. I almost returned it several times but am happy I kept trying and I am now the "ice cream queen" with friends and grandkids. Here is what I learned. 1) Freezer must be at zero degrees to properly freeze the bowl. Mine wasn't and I didn't know it but have had it fixed. 2) Freezer bowl needs to be in freezer for at least 24 hours, preferable 48. If you hear noise when you shake the freezer bowl, it's not ready. I bought 2 extra bowls and keep 2 in my freezer at all times, with the third on reserve and I rotate them when used. That way, I can make 2 batches back to back for large crowds. 3) Freezer bowl needs to be dry when put in freezer. See above. 4) Recipes don't need to be complicated. I like the ice cream base for the butter pecan ice cream with slight modification. 1 1/4 milk, whisk with 3/4 cups sweetener, add 2 1/2 cups cream and 2 tsp vanilla, punch of salt. Put into machine for standard 25 minutes. At 20 minutes, add your extras. See below. 5) So far, butter pecan is our favorite. I make up several cups of pecans at a time and keep them in the fridge for when we need a cup per batch. 6) We also like chocolate with Ghirardelli Cocoa and mint chocolate chip with 2 tsp peppermint and a cup of mini chocolate chips. 7) We don't eat sugar but use Swerve granular instead. We use Lily's chocolate chips. They don't come in mini but I put them in my chopper for a bit to breaj them up. IMHO, big chips are not as good. 8) Ice cream will be Soft Serve consistency when it comes out of machine when done properly and is edible at that time. We like it better in the freezer for an hour or two. But, it can get too hard. If it has been frozen for a day or 2, think about taking it out of freezer to refrigerator or even room temp for an hour or so before eating. I bought some ice cream containers to keep my ice cream and like the colored lids to help me identify different types. 9) Like most things, practice makes perfect and, now that I know what I am doing, I love it and so does my family. I can make fresh, sugar free, delicious ice cream with minimal effort. It's worth it!
Horrible! I received the pan and the coating was coming off - could not use it for cooking. Returned item for a refund.
I purchased these waffle plates to go on my Cuisinart Griddler Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler, Silver, Black Dials. They have a non-stick coating on them which makes it really nice when trying to remove your waffles. There are four sections for waffles. Each section measures 4 4/8" in length, 3 3/8" in width, and 5/16" in depth. When I received these plates I prepared the batter to immediately test them out. I didn’t feel like the waffles cooked evenly. Some were done more so than others. The reason was probably that I had some of the plates fuller than others. I didn’t measure it out. So next time I will have to do a better job of evenly distributing the batter. The plates are dishwasher safe but I have had experience with removable plates like this in the past and never had good luck putting them in the dishwasher. They would always come out with burned on grease and food that never got completely washed off. So I prefer to hand wash them. Overall I am happy to have these plates. People used to ask me what my husband and I needed when we got married as a wedding gift and I would say a waffle maker. You know, I never did receive one. Now in my fifteenth year of marriage I finally get the waffle maker I have been waiting for.
As a prior barista I was skeptical that this would make good coffee but after moving to Texas where there are no coffee shops besides Starbucks, I decided to give it a try. This was the highest quality in my price range right now (I’d love a pro machine but who has $2,000 to spend on an espresso machine?!) I only gave it 4 stars because the water tank doesn’t hold much water if you are wanting to make multiple drinks with steam and hot water. It’s easy to use though and the shots actually came out pretty darn good with good crema. 2 important things to consider for a good tasting shot is the type of coffee beans and using a good grinder to grind fresh beans each time. You don’t have to do that but it does make a difference. The conical bur grinders are best and I got one that you can adjust the grind manually (again, you don’t have to do this but I prefer to). I used an espresso blend whole bean with it. Light roast coffee isn’t going to give you the flavor you want from espresso. I’m writing this review on day 1 so I’m hoping the machine holds up for a while. If not I will update. So far I’m very happy with it though.
I purchased this as a replacement for my 15 year old former Cuisinart mini chopper. I’ve trusted this brand for many years and it does not disappoint. It is actually much lighter than my old one and has a larger capacity - but still keeping its “mini” status. I appreciate that the cord winds up under the chopper for easy storage. Very powerful and easy to clean. (See pics for size comparison to other countertop appliances.)
