Quality non-stick cookware for induction - Swiss Diamond or...?
Comments (18)Two weeks ago, I bought a $65 8 inch LeCrueset nonstick frypan for morning eggs, at the LeCrueset outlet store. That's big bucks for cheapo me. It does not compare to the $9 frypan I got a year ago at T.J. Marshall's. LeCrueset doesn't clean as well and has a 10 year 'limited' warranty. Other pans have 'limited' lifetime warranties. I love, love my other stuff and it's performance on my Bosch induction. Get something cheaper at T. J.'s, or Ikea, or Macy's. I do prefer Farberware Millenium, or Circulon Infinite, or T-fal ultimate, or Macy's tools of the trade-for your induction cooker. All of these go in the dishwasher, but I dare not put the LC in. phooey. overrated and overpriced So, I am not a LeCrueset believer. This is not the cast iron baby, just an ordinary, but LeC, nonstick pan. Cast iron is way too heavy for me. And l.c. is overpriced. The saleswoman at the L.C. outlet told me all the things I should not do with LC, no metal utensils, careful no scratch storage, no dishwasher (despite the attached brochure) etc. Primadonna cookware!...See MoreAnyone have Ruffoni Copper cookware?
Comments (2)Thank you circuspeanut for the feedback! I don't mind washing by hand at all, in fact most of my cookware is hand washed, not a fan of large and heavy stuff in my dishwasher (le crueset etc). On the Ruffoni, I'm looking at a deep pan and a large oval braiser. I love making roasts and this would be perfect for my new kitchen -- I think I can leave it out for viewing its' so beautiful!...See MoreAnyone have experience with Samsung induction range?
Comments (19)Well, that puts a whole different cast on things. And, no need to apologize for being "long winded." Nobody ever accused me of being brief. Being explicit often helps get the information you need. If I were looking to sell and move in a couple of years, my own inclinations would come from working on my own houses and working with and for remodelers and renovators. (The video business sometimes gets pretty slow so I've had a checkered career over the last couple of decades.). Let me just say that I would be reluctant to spend any more on the kitchen renovation than I had to. It is very difficult to predict buyers' tastes, HGTV to the contrary notwithstanding. Simply put, some buyers will love what you do, some won't care one way or the other, and some will start gutting your kitchen the day after closing. I'll offer these thoughts for the things I'd consider for renovation for a near term sale. (a) wherever you put the new stove location, run both a 240v line and a gas line for maximum flexibility. You or anybody who comes after you can put in whatever kind of stove they like, gas, duel fuel, coil burner, radiant smoothtop or induction. Around here, that seems to matter more than the stove you leave behind. YMMV, of course. (This advice assumes that you do not have a slab-on grade house or major difficulties in running either new electrical or new gas plumbing.) (b) I'd skip the counter-depth fridge. As with slide-in ranges versus freestanding ranges, you may be paying a very large premium in price (and diminished storage capacity) for what may be mostly an aesthetic advantage. Again, YYMV, though. I don't know the specifics of your kitchen or the market for your house. There can be places where a CD fridge might be the only practical choice for the space and places where hardly any buyers care about refrigerator capacity. (c) Unless I were planning on taking the stove with me, I would skip consideration of any of the more expensive induction ranges. Actually, I would seriously consider that Samsung FTQ induction range simply because of the price. Assuming, of course, that the burner layout is not too weird for you. Like most induction ranges, It should be very easy to keep clean for showings. (Read the cleaning tips here, buy some microfiber towels, and get some cermic-glass cooktop cleaner/polish.) FWIW, Consumer Reports had the FTQ on its list of recommended induction ranges through the end of last year, two years after Samsung discontinued the model. As long as yours was made after 2010, it shouldn't have the cooling fan problems that generated most of the adverse comments. You might be using it only for next two years and it very likely will outlast that time. (It might last for decades. We just don't know.) At a clearance price, it should be far and away the least expensive choice, down there with coil burner ranges. It will likely beat the pants off any other inexpensive range you might put in there, both in terms of cooking capacity and ease of cleaning. Depending on your neighborhood and your real estate market, it could give you a bit of additional cachet -- "gourmet kitchen with induction range" and all that. Meanwhile, If "hubby" is doing his Mario imitations with Batali branded cookware, so much the better. The Batali enameled cast-iron (made, I think, by Dansk) works very, very well on induction. A final comment from a couple of posts back. You are in the NY area? Have a look at AJ Madison. The freestanding GE is currently $1709 there. If you can wait to the Labor Day sales, the least expensive Kenmore induction range will likely be under $1300. I've seen the current lower-end Samsung induction range, the NE595NOPBSR, down around $1200. (More conventional burner arrangement and pretty highly rated by CR, for what that is worth.) Since the Samsung FTQ has been discontinued for a couple of years, I'd offer $700 for it. Maybe have a look at what Sears is asking for ranges on the clearance pages....See MoreAnyone here had experience different size wall cabinets?
Comments (16)Excuse me, M.Miller while on the one hand, i thank you for your very helpful tips, and would have followed up if not for being sidewinded, what's that about elitism, M.Miller? jemimabean, what's black & white & RED all over? A newspaper? NO! Because i'm black w/shock, white w/shock and I'M SEEING RED. How dare you accuse me based on zilch?? Moreover, what color is my face? FYI my eyes are what they call black. Why are you bringing race into this? Is cancer not a tearjerker cause? Is special-ed not a tearjerker cause? Ditto for so much more! Let me ask you - what size AND width feet do you have? Do you have SEVERE neuropathy, AND SEVERE varicose veins, AND SEVERE TARSAL-tunnel syndrome, AND SEVERE Tendinitis - all in your feet & legs, all because for decades you couldn't find decent shoes to fit Size 5 feet which ALSO have a wide toebox? Do YOU have the sort of narrow-ankle wide toebox configuration WITH short feet? Do YOU need to get little boys' 4.5 SmartFit sandals, because those are the ONLY ones which fit you after HOURS AND HOURS at PayLess, while your legs were killing you trying on zillions of shoes? Do YOU need to get little boys socks, since those are what fit you? Are YOU able to not keep warm well in winter, because no good-quality socks fit you IN LENGTH, nor would they fit IN WIDTH inside shoes, due to short & wide feet? In the past, there was specialization such as shoemakers, so one didn't have to worry about a mass-production, one-size-fits-all world. BRRRRRR - am i in a rage! I'd like to see YOU jemimabean trying to enter just a TINY WINDOW of my harsh experiences as stated above. Boy would you freak out. And - you better believe its just a TINY WINDOW. Because i also suffer painful smile-cheek muscles since childhood, not being able since childhood to even "whisper" M & N sounds when i'd have colds as it would feel like my internal membranes are being slashed, and SO much more. Would you like to experience all this? And that's the tip of iceberg! So I hereby accuse YOU of discrimination to me, because i can practically assure you that your experiences do NOT hold a candle to MY harsh experiences. Do you really think that blacks are the only ones to suffer INTENSELY? And yes, i acknowledge that blacks have suffered intensely, and have been rendered invisible for centuries. I acknowledge it, because i've eyes in my head, and i, too, am invisiblized on MANY fronts. But as for you, why don't you just LOOK around you and analyze. Look inside nursing homes. Look inside institutions. Examine INDIVIDUALS! Are they any less invisible? With needs which are neglected, like my own have been invisiblized?? Like Fauci has invisiblized HCQ and Anti-Cholesterol solutions?? Like stem-cells have been suppressed?? For crying out loud!! So, Yes, i'm seeing Red! Based on my own experiences i'm seeing Red! No less than BLM, so there you have it....See Moreiris_gal
