I love my dishes, they are nice amd thick and beautiful, but there is a little bit of a problem. If you stack them up then you will scratch every plate you have. I ended up making a rack to slide into my cabinets that holds the plates perfectly, so they could be seperated and it works great.
I go a long way back with Sango Nova Brown dinnerware. I bought twelve placesettings when they first came out, and I love their quiet, almost contemplative look on the table. The color graduations give them character and depth. For a simple plate, they are beautiful.
BUT …
About six months after I bought the placesettings, some of the plates came out of the dishwasher with a caramelized smattering of spots. At first I thought my dishwasher wasnt working properly, but then I started noticing the same strange gooey spots and streaks when I removed the dishes from the microwave. Not all plates (and none of the bowls) had this problem, so I was able to isolate the problem ones.
After a year of this, I called Sango to complain. I didnt expect anything – maybe a Thanks – well look at the line. The customer service rep was shocked that I had this problem and actually sent me, free of charge, eight new placesettings. Talk about excellent and caring customer service! I threw out all the damaged plates and began anew. Two years later, the problems are just beginning to surface again, not in the dishwasher but in the microwave.
The mugs in this set are perfect for keeping coffee warm since they are deep, but dont pull one out of the microwave without a potholder, as the handles get hot (but dont carmelize).
I still love the way this set looks – and Ive supplemented it with accessories from both this line and the differently colored ones. I just wish I could trust it in the microwave when reheating food.
This bakeware was a gift to my daughter who has taken culinary classes. She absolutely loves this set and has done so much baking since they arrived.
I dont have much luck with non stick products as the non stick finish never seems to last. I purchased several sets because the price was cheap enough that I figure that I would just throw them away after the finish wears off. It came in just in time for all the holiday baking and so far its been working great but then again its only been a month! The bakeware is a little lighter than I expected.
I purchased the Stainless Steel Electric Skillet because Im tired of the black coatings skillets. We have used it already quite a few times and are very pleased with it. The skillet does cook a lot faster and is much easier to clean.
THIS HIGH DOLLAR ELECTRIC SKILLET CHEAP IMITATION AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE DISHWASHER SAFE BUT HAS OPEN LOUVERS IN BOTTOM THAT WOULD ALLOW IT TO FILL UP WITH WATER WHERE THE HEATING ELEMENTS ARE??? IT HAS A DECAL ON BOTTOM STATING DO NOT SUBMERGE IN WATER–INSTRUCTION BOOKLET STATES–PUT IN DISHWASHER–BUT COMPANY THAT SOLD IT SAYS WE DONT KNOW and THE COMPANY THAT MADE IT SAYS WE THINK YOU CAN BUT NOT SURE. IT IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE VENT IN TOP TO ALLOW STEAM TO ESCAPE BUT WHERE IS THE VENT??? SELLERS DONT KNOW AND MAKER ISNT SURE. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS SHAKY AT BEST, ITEMS HAVE BEEN RETURNED BUT STILL NO REFUND??DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY…
Given the great reviews this grill has, I was really excited to order it and have way to grill in my small apartment. The first few times I just made burgers, and all seemed well…but as I grilled more steaks and chicken, the weaknesses of this grill really came out.
Lets start with the smokeless claim…it is smokeless, up to a point. At the lower temperatures, it does seem to be fairly smokeless, but I found that these temperatures were just too low for me. I cook (and especially grill) with high heat, so I crank this when cooking steaks or other meats. Two problems emerged: not enough heat and too much smoke. Both were unacceptable.
Now cleaning…I grew to despise cleaning this device so much after just a few uses. Sure, the top is a nonstick surface, but the underside of the grill surface is where all the grilled-on gunk accumulates. I tried all kinds of scrubbers and brushes, but nothing could get out all the burnt on mess. And if you dont scrape and scrub every little bit out then, you guessed it, the grill pours out smoke the next time you use it as these little bits burn.
Ive moved on to a new apartment where I can have a little Weber Q, which I truly love, so the Sanyo grill will never see another day of action. Bottom line: even if youre an apartment dweller who cant have a grill, I still think youre better off cooking your burgers and steaks right on the stove top.
Ive had this grill for one week now, and Im perfectly satisfied.
Someone was complaining about the base being cheap plastic that melts, and that its impossible to move the grill without spilling the water in the grease pan. Well, youre not supposed to move the grill when its assembled! And not enough heat reaches the base to make it melt.
Others gave a one star rating because the grill is too big… maybe its a good idea to check the dimensions before buying something! The dimensions provided in the description are accurate, so you cant say it was a surprise.
Smoke: no miracle will completely prevent the formation of smoke when you place something that contains grease on a hot surface. The amount of smoke obviously depends on what youre cooking, but Ive found that if you follow the directions and have the grill in a well ventilated room, the smoke is not even enough to stick on your clothes, and it surely doesnt trigger the fire alarm.
Cleaning: if you have a big sink, just put the grill in a hot soapy water bath while youre eating (dont wait until it cools down) and then a damp cloth will do the rest in 5 minutes. Much easier than other grills you are forced to let cool down before cleaning them (those surfaces you cant even remove while theyre still hot).
Long cooking time: I cook my burgers (and I love thick ones) for 7 minutes at 350ฐ, and theyre perfect (for me… must say that I like them still pink inside). As for the time required to heat up, its enough to allow me all of the preparations like slicing vegetables and marinating meat. Overall in half an hour start to finish I have a complete meal for two (one vegetarian and one carnivore) and I dont have to cook twice if I want to eat meat.
The cooking surface does have some hot spots, but if youre wise enough to place on those spots things that need longer cooking time then you can turn it to your advantage.
And its as close as I can get to the BBQ flavor, without the hassle of a BBQ.
i was very dissapointed in these pajamas.i only weigh 148 pounds and the large was too small.a complete waist of money and the pants are flooding on me.very cute pattern but whats the use i cant wear them.and i am not going to send them back it cost more to do that.and i wont take this review off for a refund.so there you have it.not a good by.
Well constructed, comfortable and Wonder Woman. A complete winner!
