My kitchen is pretty dang tiny. The only space I had open was over a window and the 33" bar style rack ended up fitting *chef's kiss* perfectly. I was a little worried that hanging the pots up might accidentally cause me to break the window, but I've had it 10 years now and it just hasn't happened. Of course, be gentle if you're in the same situation as me!).
It made perfect Belgian Liege sugar waffles on setting 3. I like that the darkness of the waffles can be decided by me!!
These book ends are just what I needed. They came exactly as described, the quality of the finish is good and consistent, and the color and design are as expected. They aren’t too flimsy, in fact they feel like they’ll last a long time. Great value for what I paid. As my book collection grows, I’ll be purchasing more of these because they look good, work well, and don’t break the bank!
with a little over a month of use, it's already broken! I'm very sad! that's why I don't recommend it!
I waited a while to review this because I wanted to do my homework and test it out to give this my honest opinion. We have been looking for a long time for stainless steel cookware, and saw this. We have always been Cuisinart fans for their product reliability and durability, and let me tell you, this did not disappoint! First of all, it was packaged so securely that there were no issues with damages upon arrival. I spread out the beautiful set on my table and stepped back to admire it. Then the real test came. I watched YouTube videos on care of stainless steel cookware which helped me a lot. I learned the trick of preheating the pan being used on medium heat. I did 2 minutes, and then I sprayed water using my misting bottle and saw the little water bubbles dance around the pan so I knew it was nonstick ready. And, sure enough, the food cooked beautifully, and slid right out of the pan once finished. Clean up was a breeze! I am a review reader and did read some comments about it not being nonstick and difficult to clean. But, I truly believe that doing the preheat test I described above would have changed their outcomes. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone, and look forward to many years of fine service. Bon Appetit! Thank you Cuisinart!
Update 1 month later... The stainless finish is flaking off on the inside the bowl. See the light grey spots on the photos. We have 4 places we have found flaking so far. The flakes probably ended up in our mixes, and eaten. Blerg!! Now, we have a mixer bowl that has spots that are not stainless, possibly reactive and less sanitary. We have baby-ed this mixer bowl... only ever handwashed it, used silicone spatulas and the supplied attachments. A replacement bowl from Cuisinart is listed as $56 (ex tax & S+H), and not widely available. Between the small true capacity and flaking in the bowl I would just advise avoiding this mixer! First review... So, its a stand mixer. It's solid, works great, great price considering it has a 3 year warranty. But, and this is a big but, the max volume the bowl can handle for dough/cake mix is 1.125 quarts. So for the price you get a mixer with the capacity of a small sized pyrex bowl. The small limit of it's capacity extends to other baking, common recipes like angel cake would squeeze in under the limit, but about half of the cakes I looked at would not. For mixing and whipping a handheld mixer is cheaper and more practical. This "3.5 Quart" model is dinky, especially if you are a baker, to be practical or sensible. The 5.5 quart model is cheaper, at the time of writing!
I never used these pots and pans. I gave it a one star to get your attention to help you avoid the unexpected problem I had (which is what happens when you buy something online sometimes). I love love love how these pots and pans look and feel - the colors, the quality, the silicon handle are great. BUT I had to return them because... the lids! The lids are fine but what is NOT fine is that the little handles on the lids (very cute) are so tiny that I can't get my fingers through them comfortably!!! If only they had this gorgeous set with KNOBS as the lid handles. But it was so uncomfortable, especially as my fingers are becoming stiffer, that I had to send them back. Very sad. I searched the Cuisinart website and other companies for "universal lids" that would fit but they didn't have anything that would work (other than one type of lid that looked like it might melt - from another vendor). So.. back to the drawing board. If you know of any solution let me know! Also pictured: Green life red pot, with lid that has knob - this is what cuisinart needs - the knob-style handle on lid!
after one use, the pot looks like I've had it for years. The bottom looks like there is residue on it but they are not marks from cooking utensils becuse i used wooden spoons. I did not scrap it or put it in the dishwasher. I just washed it with soap and water and this is how it comes out. I am returning it !!! Cookware that cost this much should not look like this after 2 uses. I used it on a glass stove top. I should also say it is rather heavy !!
I purchased these sponges because the listing repeatedly mentioned they were made from food-grade silicone. However, upon receiving them, the packaging clearly states they are made from plastic, which is not what I expected. This discrepancy is very misleading, and I’m concerned about the potential health risks of using plastic instead of food-grade silicone for food-related items. Very disappointed with the false advertising.
I had high expectations but the handles on this pot get very hot. I had seen reviews that said the handles didn’t get hot but they do. Also, the bottom is turning colors in places after only one use. I did like the lid and the water heated up fast and it cooked well. But not my dream pot.
Works perfectly as a lid for my 14 inch wok.
Picked this up to replace my favorite little pot that I had for nearly 20 yrs. I cooked something that I burned beyond recognition and had to toss :( Kinda silly but I never thought I'd dig a kitchen item so much. Pic is the main reason for wanting to replace. Holds a good 3 cups of liquid, is very solid and cleans up like nothing. Highly recommend
I have all the big deal mixers… I bought this little buddy to blend sauces, soups etc. What I didn’t realize is what a powerful force this was for making icy drinks. GOD BLESS AMERICA IS THIS AMAZING!! I throw this puppy into my bag when I go boating, beach, friends’ parties, camping, river, etc. It’s an amazing portable blender. The charge lasts for days! Using crushed ice from the ice maker or any bagged ice, it created the easiest amazing slushee. I chunk it in a metal yeti cup, and mix away. So compact, cordless, and easy to clean. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!*** UPDATE: After almost 2 years, my bestie mixer died on me and wouldn’t recharge. I called Cusinart and they are replacing it!!!!!!!!! AWESOME SERVICE and FANTASTIC LITTLE BLENDER
Love this product so much. They are so sharp so be careful upon opening. Perfect color
In 20 years of shopping on cuisinartoutlets.com, I think this is the first bad review I've ever written. Tl;dr: after only 13 months (it has a three year warranty) the push button that opens the door no longer works, so the door is permanently shut and the microwave is useless. I never liked this unit even when it worked. The door button required so much force we had to jerry rig the microwave so that pushing the door open didn't send the unit flying across the shelf onto the floor. Now the button doesn't work at all. There are a few microwaves that have door handles instead of buttons. I would buy one of those. After using the microwave for a year I still have to refer to the manual because setting the convection oven or the grill or any setting other than full manual microwave is completely unintuitive. It doesn't really matter because those functions don't work well. My previous Panasonic microwave convection oven had heating coils top and bottom so grilling was somewhat adequate, although you still couldn't really brown anything with it. The Cuisinart only "grills" from the top, which doesn't work well at all. The convection oven is also useless. It doesn't get hot enough. Forget about cooking a frozen pizza. Or a homemade recipe that requires a steady temperature of 400 degrees for 45 minutes. It takes forever to pre-heat (and figuring out the pre-heat sequence ain't easy) and when it does, it doesn't hold the temperature. And to add insult to injury, when I called Cuisinart they insisted that the sticker on the back that started "SN" was not in fact the serial number, although there are no other stickers that include anything like a serial number. So even if I wanted warranty service I'd have a problem from the get go. I understand that many iconic names in housewares have been sold to companies that are basically putthing their brand on items made elsewhere. But when I buy something from T-Fal, Farberware or even Calphalon (which like Cuisinart probably makes too many products for consistent quality) I get a product that was as good as what it replaced. For some reason, I now have a Cuisinart coffee maker and a Cuisinart toaster I don't like any better than the dead microwave. I wouldn't have replaced them with another Cuisinart product anyway and now avoiding Cuisinart is a matter of principle. :(
