Comments (20)Okay - I didn't see that Sweese is also on Tamara's website -- when I wrote this. I would delete my comment, but I don't know how. Better you are all on your own, evidently, if I can make that mistake then we still all have to do our own research. I wound up with Fiestaware - not my first choice but at least I know it's safe. And I call Crate and Barrel/Pottery Barn/William Sonoma to check every time I see something that looks good. BUT I DID DISCOVER SOMETHING INTERESTING. If you put a california zip code in your login (until checking out) - you will get the Prop 65 warning which will tip you off as to what products are not safe, according to California legislation. That is a handy tool to use but you need to pretend if you don't live in Cali until it's time to pay and ship....See MoreCapital Connoisseurian, one year (almost) later...
Comments (18)I essentially want to echo the opinions and descriptions in this post. We purchased an open burner, dual fuel 36" Capital Connoisseurian 6-burner (no grill, no griddle) range that was installed in January and it has simply been a dream. It is so powerful that we had to re-learn how to cook because all the timing changed on how fast things heat up, how fast water boils (much faster!), etc. In addition, as reported above, the simmer is simply amazing, with exquisite control. There is a single dedicated simmer burner, but unless we need the other five for other things, we do not use it much. It is easy to clean. We have to our surprise not used the oven very much. The reason is simple: we're a bit lazy and we also have a double wall oven and use of the upper wall oven means no bending over... In our few uses, the Connoisseurian oven has worked well. When initially installed, we had to call the Capital customer line and they were happy to walk us through the things we did not quite understand. Since then we have had no issues (knock on wood). The Connoisseurian replaced a 13 year old Dacor that I hated pretty much from the day it was installed (after much research). I'm completely delighted with this stove and I'm very glad we purchased it. One of our main reasons for doing so was to get heat high enough to do true high heat wok cooking, so we also purchased the Wok ring. It has been excellent at that as well as everything else. If and when we move, it is probably coming with me. If you love to cook, if you want a truly superb stove, if you don't care about having an "in" brand (e.g. Viking), definitely give this your consideration....See MoreTried to order a mattress last night...wouldnt ship to CA
Comments (34)Understandable about the plants, a little weird about the mattress, especially since it sounds like the store does business here in CA? A few months ago DH was looking at backpacks online- the kind that people who do multiple day trekking use. Some of the packs were not to be shipped to CA and that was one we just couldn't figure out. Some from the manufacturer could be and some couldn't. Never did figure that one out. They all looked like they were made of the same materials... I use to buy supplements from a large retailer in the midwest, but once CA pushed the prop 65 thing on them, they stopped shipping to CA. I can't blame them, no supplement company wants to have to put a cancer warning on a health product. I was trying to order high quality fiber supplements for a family member at the time- don't they tell us to take that to prevent cancer? Problem with prop 65 is retailers put it on everything to protect themselves so it means nothing. A few months ago DH ordered from a place outside of CA that had to label their products with a prop 65 warning and the company humored us by sticking the warning label on everything including the invoice, the plastic bag the item came in, and a sticker from their company. That was funny....See MoreHKO HKO
