Buy Low Price From Here Now

For the cook who likes to grill and create special appetizers like Italian panini, bruschetta and crostini, the Le Creuset panini press and skillet grill set works much like an outdoor grill (only faster), searing your foods on both sides at once, leaving them with rippled, blackened grill marks. With both of these pieces, you can grill quickly - prepare chicken breasts, burgers, swordfish or the classic panini. When cooking a panini, the bread becomes crisp and crunchy while the insides remain soft and succulent. The Square Grill Pan With Panini Press Includes: A 10.25-in. square grill pan, complete with long handle, a helper handle and spouts for pouring off excess oils9-in. panini press with a round knob on top for holding. Heat the press separately then place on top of your food and both sides will cook at once. Both have ribbed surfaces and are made of enameled cast iron, a material that retains heat longer and spreads it evenly for superior cooking performance.

 "Wonderful HEAVY DUTY all purpose roaster" 2009-03-03
By Jennifer Bishop (Columbus, OH USA)
This pan is HEAVY enameled cast iron so it cleans like a dream! This is so thick and heavy that it won't bow or buckle under the largest roasts. What truly makes this unique is that it can be used on the STOVETOP! You can safely use this on an induction stove (or gas), then put it in the oven, under the broiler, and back to the stovetop to make a sauce. It looks really funny cooking with a pan like this on the stovetop, but since it distributes heat so well I don't have any hot spots if the burner doesn't fit.



Dishes that burn in other pans cook perfectly in all of my Staub. This is a great multipurpose pan which is the perfect size for a large chicken or standard cake.



The roaster looks very basic without any logos or bright colors, but this is a piece that is bought for function. If not dropped, it should last a lifetime.

 "15 inch cast iron skillet" 2009-09-25
By Patricia Ross (kansas city, mo usa)
We really like cast iron and only buy the ones made in america. This is a great skillet, however, it's so big that the flame on our gas stove does not cover enough of the bottom of the skillet. I tried to place the skillet on 2 burners, but that didn't exactly work either. I have only used it once, so far, smothering okra for gumbo. The skillet may work better for dishes that have more liquid and simmer.

I liked being able to cook down so much okra at once.

 "Heats unevenly, sticks badly, poorly made" 2009-07-08
By Myla Matus
Maybe mine was just defective, I don't know. But it never did get uniformly hot. The food had to be scraped off (yes, I have other iron utensils, and have no problem with them). And the scraping process was rather difficult because of a good-sized burr in the middle of the pan. Since the coating also got chipped in shipping (poor packing), I ended up returning it.

This pot grip is indispensable! I originally ordered this for the Mario Batali Panini Pan but knowing I would add more of his collection, I went ahead and purchased two (to use with the dutch ovens). It fits the handles perfectly and makes it easy to move the pan around without getting burned. I use them every single time I cook with the panini pan or dutch oven. Seriously, if you're going to purchase any piece of the Mario Batali cast iron cookware, do yourself a favor and spend the extra few bucks on these pot grips. They're essential!

 "This is IT!!!" 2009-09-07
By Timothy E. Craft (Peoria, Illinois United States)
Trust me folks! This is the one you want. Alton Brown showed this thermometer on his cooking show. I bought one here at Amazon and my home-made fudge and English Toffee has never been better or more perfect every time. You just can not accurately judge the temperatures by soft ball, hard ball, and all that. You need a thermometer. This one is instant read with large numbers and an alarm that goes off when your product has reached the temperature. Even the clip on the side holds it very securely while you are stirring.



Don't waste money on glass thermometers or others. THIS is the one you want!

 "Cannot monitor cooling for fudge & fondants" 2009-08-23
By Improve It Now
If you're making fondant creams or fudge, which require cooling to 110 degrees F before stirring, this thermometer is USELESS. Per product instructions, "The unit turns off after 3.5 minutes if no buttons are pushed and temperature is below 130 degrees F". So how do you monitor the temperature as it cools below 130 degrees? By continually pressing the "on" button every 3.5 minutes, which is senseless and VERY inconvenient. Any company that knows the slightest thing about candy making knows that many candies need to cool to 110 degrees F before stirring. Producing a "candy" thermometer that shuts off below 130 degrees F is just plain stupid. You also cannot use this thermometer to temper chocolate because a range of 88 degrees F to 110 degrees F is required for chocolate tempering. Final note: thermometer is a bit top-heavy and tends to fall sideways.

 "Some fatal flaws, but still worth considering" 2009-03-16
By Chef Fred (Raleigh, NC)
Yes, this is the thermometer Alton Brown used in his fudge episode. My first shock after getting this device was why Alton, king of single-tasker hatred, would use this when he uses his Polder digital thermometer for everything else? All you need is a clip to hold any typical digital probe in the pot. Plus, having a separate probe from the device, like the Polder, allows you to unplug and replace the probe if it breaks and the electronics stay safely away from the heat and moisture of what you are cooking. Also, the CT-03 is top heavy. Having a separate probe means with the Polder, you can leave the unit on the counter and have just the light probe in the pot with the heat resistant wire running off to your display unit.



My first Maverick CT-03 was off by 7 degrees as measured by boiling water and comparing all my thermometers. Being near sea level, they all measured within 1 degree of 212 degrees F. The first CT-03 measured 205. Also, when cooking bubbling candy, the bubbles and evaporation gave it a lot of trouble, the temperature was wild and often went down! I did keep the tip off the bottom and used a narrow pot to keep it properly submerged. Needless to say, the first batch of fudge was overcooked and ruined.



Other major limitations:



You can not set the temp alarm to a value you choose, you can only select from the small presets that some might find difficult to read. With carry over, you often want an alarm that is a few degrees below a certain temperature.



The presets just say things like "soft ball" instead of also listing the temp. If you want to know what they think "soft ball" is, you have to consult a sticker on the back.



There is a "max temperature reached" alarm, but no "minimum temperature reached". So you have to sit and watch the thermometer as the temp reduces so you don't miss the pre-setting stage for candy and fudge.



Positives:



If you don't already have a digital thermometer and can't create a clip from an office type metal paper clamp, then this thermometer isn't really a bad buy.



It uses as standard AAA battery instead of expensive button batteries. You can also get rechargeable AAAs, but not so with the watch type batteries.



It has a metal face shield which offers some protection for the display.



Overall, I would still recommend it with the listed caveats.

 "Excellent Thermometer" 2009-02-14
By Eric P. Johnson (Springfield, Il)
I bought this thermometer for deep frying after watching Alton Brown on the food network channel. It works great. Is easy to read, the flip down splatter screen does what it is supposed to. The thermometer reacts quickly to temperature changes. This has helped me to improve all of my deep fried dishes, which I love.

Would definately recommend it. Only thing I did not like is it scratches the inside of my fry daddy but I blame that more on the fry daddy's coating.

I've been looking for a porcelain over cast iron cook pot in this size for some time. I have a lot of Le Cruset, not just dutch ovens but other products as well, and one Staub dutch oven. These are the real work horses of my kitchen.

I love the black interior which requires less care than the white porcelain of Le Cruset. This is a good size to use as a steamer, a casserole, or a pot to reheat in. It's not large enough to act as a stock pot or soup pot, but it works well for reheating soup. And the yellow is a clear bright pretty yellow. The price was very good, and the package arrived very shortly after my order was placed.

I am about to order our second Screwpull wine opener. The first one, a "Professional Model," died after 8 years of averaging 3 cork pulls per week. Something internal to the mechanism finally wore out.

 "Nearly perfect corkscrew" 2007-05-25
By Vintner Don (Minneapolis)
I have a large wine cellar and open wine nearly every night. I have used many corkscrews in a similar style. All others have broken, some 'Ebay Specials broke in just days. Some have slipped gears, some have the auger drive into the cork, then back out the same way without pulling the cork.



This corkscrew is well made. An important consideration for me, it carries a 10 year warranty. My only downgrade is the plastic handles. They do bend as you secure to the bottle and remove the cork. Of course, had I spend a few dollars more, I could have had the metal frame and not had that problem.



As far as the accessories, they are okay, but buy for the corkscrew not the accessories.
