Cajun Cookware Kettles 1-quart Seasoned Cast Iron Tea Kettle - Gl10499s



I love this tea kettle
I have been looking for a cast iron kettle for months for my conduction cooktop and wow I finally found one. Unlike other cast iron tea kettle but the ones I found were always painted "tea pots" and the paint burned off.
This one is perfect. It is absolutely the right size, 1 qt, and heats like a dream. The handle is great, no need for pot holders. I would strongly recommend this tea kettle for those that want a no maintence kettle unlike many of the other tea kettles on the market. It's great.

Small Iron kettle.
Still needs to be seasoned inside and outside. I had to season mine, 3 times. The seasoning it came with, does help.

Will last forever, if it's seasoned, right. Don't let water stand in it though.

Love It...FAST shipping
Better than described...love the kettle...Fastest shipping I have ever experienced....Will definitely do business with again...

Browne Foodservice 9198 Medium Single Mesh Strainer with Wood Handle, 8-Inch



Nice strainer... and it was under 7 bucks.
Can't go wrong and the price was right. It's a very nice strainer, well built but the handle could be improved. Actually, the metal part of the handle is fine but the wood is unfinished and if you don't do something to it like adding a polyurethane finish, or a food grade oil finish, it won't last long. After only a couple weeks of use the name has come off and it's looking dried out. It gets 4.5 stars because of the handle. Nice for straining the home made wines and much less expensive than cheesecloth.

Nice but not stainless
This strainer is nice enough but is not stainless so you need to wash and dry it immediately so that it doesn't rust.

good strainer
Mainly used to clean basmati rice and drain pasta..It works good with no rice getting through the screen.Seems durable,should be good for years.

Nordic Ware 365 Indoor/Outdoor Backsplash Griddle



Great little Griddle
I just purchased my second griddle for my grill. They are very light weight, don't warp & they are non-stick coated which is staying on the pan where it belongs. I Love the smell of bacon frying. I Hate the smell of bacon in the house and with this I don't have to smell it in the living room, bedroom, etc. My grill is 25 inches wide so with the 2 put together (end to end) I can cover the whole grill or if I want to fry onions and peppers while grilling steaks I will just use 1. I always wanted a flat top to grill on outside and now I don't have to spend a couple hundred dollars to have one.

Nice
Great for bacon on the grill! I have a small grill and needed something that would allow the lid to close.

Pickle Maker Tsukemono Press Container Small #1945



great pickle press
this is a great small size vegetable press. i put it in the dishwasher and there is no damage. its almost big enough to put a block of tofu in to press, but i always have to break off a peice and put it on top. then turned upside down will drain the tofu well. its great for making tsukemono, because most of the time you want enough for just a couple of servings and not a large quantity.

VERY HANDY
Nice size for one or two. I have a much larger press, but really did not use it much as I am alone now. Perfect for making up some pickles daily. Seems a little pricey for it's simplicity, but.....

I really like it.
I'm using it for the first time to lacto-ferment greens grown in the garden. I mashed up a bunch of crossed tatsoi greens with salt (3 tbsp per 5 lbs as per wildfermentation.com's recommendation, so that only came out to about 1-1/2 tsp. for the amount that fits in this Tsukemono press). I tasted and it seemed too salty so added MORE greens, had to really force the lid down, but it caught and held. Anyway, the greens did produce enough liquid to cover, and the spring in this press keeps the greens down below the liquid, and if I tilt the press, green liquid spills out from under the top, so that means gasses can escape. Perfect. For the amount of lacto-fermented greens I and MAYBE hubby can eat, this is a good size. And inexpensive. If you put it in your cart under "hold for later," next time you order something over $25, you can order this too.

Cast Iron Cauldron: 4 1/2" diameter Triquetra



Very Pretty and Useful
This couldron is very attractive and is a welcome addition to the altar. The only reason I gave it a four instead of a five is that the legs aren't all the same length making it a little lopsided. It's not a huge deal. The three of us in the household still really like it and use it frequently.

Medium Triquetra Cauldron
Just got my cauldron and I love it! However, one leg is very noticeably longer than the other two. Between this and the uneven Triquetra altar table I bought, I'm a little nervous about ordering anything else of this nature from here. My husband kindly offered to sand the legs of my table down, and he said he could grind the cauldron leg down too. I hope it doesn't screw up the integrity of the iron or anything. It'd be nice if there were some better quality control measures. Who wants a crooked cauldron? Otherwise, I really love it.

My new cauldron
i saw this cauldron here on Amazon & fell in love with it i have been wanting one for a while so i decided to order it only to find that when i recieved it the triquetra on the cauldron i received was different then in the picture it was upside down also the cauldron in the picture shows a sliver look & what i recieved is black which is why i rated it 3 stars

HIC Brands that Cook Porcelain Individual Lasagna Pan, 8-1/2 by 5-1/2-Inch



The best of the best!
I bought the lasagna sized pan as described by America Test Kitchens and it is superb...beyond superb....the best of the best.
I needed another smaller size so bought these and they too are fantastic and perfect for us. I am able to use them under
the broiler and very very few pans (other than metals) can go under the broiler and then directly to the table. It goes to the
freezer and microwave as well. Easy handles that look nice but are important for safety. I highly recommend these and any item from Harold Import Company. You won't be disappointed and wonder how you got along without them.

HIC is the only cookware to buy for use in the oven.
The HIC brand has been recommended by the testers on America Test Kitchen. I have used this referral for many products and I have never been disappointed.

Best baking dish you can buy
This baking dish is easy to clean, doesn't stain and is safe in the over and the broiler, which is why I bought it. I bake and broil chicken, pork and fish in it perfectly.
