Emile Henry 614553 Flame Top 5-1/2-Quart Round Stewpot, Red Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I researched Dutch Ovens on-line and in several cookware shops. Looked at Le Crueset, Staub, and Emile Henry. With some hesitation I ordered this one from Amazon. I did not believe that a ceramic one would really brown ingredients well the way that braises require. Believe me, it does an excellent job...

The condition and quality are first rate. These are made in Britain (not like some I've read reviews, which say they can come from China. These plates have some heft to...

Wusthof Classic 10-Inch Hollow Edge Carving Knife Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This knife was part of a gift, and I am pleased to say that it exceeded all expectations. There may be other brands with equal utility, but I have not had the pleasure of using them. I am not shy about blasting Wusthof or Henckels for charging obscene prices when another brand offers the same quality...

Proteak Teak Cutting Board Rectangle 20-by-14-by-2-1/2-Inch Hand Grip and Juice Canal, End Grain Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Almost too beautiful to actually use, but this board in tough! After two years of use it is still holding up great and looks better than ever.

Dualit Classic 4-Slice Toaster Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have mixed feelings about this item. So much so that I put off reviewing it for a long time. I've owned mine over a year now, and it is time to speak up.On the one hand, I really want to like it. And not just because I spent a good sized hunk of cash on it. I like the idea of an industrial, commercial-grade...

J.A. Henckels International Forged Synergy 13-Piece Knife Set Review

KitchenAid PRO 500 Series 5-Quart Mixers Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This mixer is absolutely fantastic! The lift mixer is so much better than the stand style mixers in that the stand mixers get worn out and the bowl tends to jump around. I used to work with a stand style mixer and I would have to put all of my weight on the bowl while I was mixing stuff to keep the bowl...

KitchenAid Ultra Power Stand Mixer Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Currently all the reviews on Amazon are for the Artisan series mixers, probably because of the extra 25 watts of power over the Ultra series. I got my beloved Empire Red Ultra from my sister, in brand new condition, because she got tired of my constant admiration (actually, covetousness)of it every time...

Shun Ken Onion Chef's Knife Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I got this knife as a kind of impulsive indulgence, I think it looked cool in its own holder and I had heard good things about Shun knives. However, all those good things are true. It is by far the sharpest knife I've owned, and I've got Henckel Zwillings (not the cheapo kind you get at Target) that...
