Review of Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Drop Biscuit Pan

I'm having so much fun with this pan! Makes melt in the mouth drop biscuits--I use the recipe for buttermilk drop biscuits in the "Cast Iron for Dummies" cookbook--that are just as pretty and fluffy as rolled biscuits. Just don't forget to preheat the pan! I've turned out excellent "spoon" yeast rolls in this pan too, and it works great for baking individual pineapple upside down cakes. I use cast iron for nearly all my cooking and this pan is a welcome addition to my kitchen.

Product Description
Seasoned and ready to use drop biscuit pan with seven impressions3 1/4" in diameter and 1" deep.Bake big, fluffy biscuits without a rolling pin. Just spoon your favorite mix into the wells to create perfectly shaped, mouth watering biscuits. Unique open frame design permits easy handling.

Review of Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 5-Quart Sauté Pan with Glass Lid

I love this pan.It is big enough to do so many things, it makes the pan very versatile. I've used it for pasta dishes, soups, scrambled eggs for a group, and of course pan frying.

Product Description
The Contemporary Stainless sauté pan heats evenly and efficiently, delivering excellent browning, delicious caramelization and superior cooking control. Straight sides maximize your flat cooking surface. The thick bottom prevents scorching, yet responds exceptionally well to subtle adjustments in temperature--essential for fast-cooking methods like sautéing. The low profile prevents foods from steaming while giving you easy access with utensils. Calphalon's sauté pans are designed for easy cooking, easy cleanup, and maximum performance.

Review of Mauviel M'Cook 5 Ply Stainless Steel Saucepans

Mauviel M'Cook 5 Ply Stainless Steel SaucepansMauviel pots and pans are superb for use with induction cooktops.The pans are heavy, cook very evenly, and make perfect use of induction's instant heat.I was surprised to find out that my very expensive Swiss cookware did not have enough iron to work on an induction burner.The Mauviel pans work perfectly.Because the pans are not nonstick coated, clean up is more difficult but to me avoiding nonstick products is worth the extra clean up time.

And here is a plug for another wonderful product:the Viking induction hotplate.It is beautiful and functions perfectly. Liquids boil almost immediately; stir fry and sautes are equally quick.

Induction cookers are for people who want to cook real food quickly and with energy efficiency (keeping the kitchen cool);microwaves are for people who want to heat up some food-like concoctions in toxic packaging.
