I have been looking for a stainless wok for sometime. I did not want a non stick finish as when heated too hot they produce fumes that can be toxic to pet birds.
I purchased this Cusinart Stainless 14 inch stir fry. It is a great pan. It is good looking, large so you can cook a lot of food in it. It is extremely easy to clean. It comes with a nice glass lid. It is also light weight. I own the set of Cuisnart Stainless Cookware that I bought last year on Amazon. I am very happy with the set. This wok pan is an excellent value, you simply will not find a good quality wok at this price. Buy It!!

Awesome product! I ordered this in the large 30" x 20" size because we've gone a lot more "raw" and I wanted to cover my glass stovetop to protect it and get more prep space. It was the best idea I've had in months!
The board is heavy enough not to shift as I use it, but easy to move if we need to use the stovetop (which is rare). It's a beautiful board on both sides (I use the flat side), easy to clean, and looks great in the kitchen.
Having the large cutting surface is perfect for preparing raw dishes that call for several raw ingredients to be chopped, minced, etc - you can have it all on the board, pushing back what you've already prepped and just keep going - then assemble at the end. It makes food prep so much easier - I love this board :-)
Now I just need a super-fabulous knife! lol

Cuisinart GreenGourmet Hard Anodized Eco-Friendly Nonstick 10-by-18-Inch Double-Burner Griddle Review

Cuisinart GreenGourmet Hard Anodized Eco-Friendly Nonstick 10-by-18-Inch Double-Burner Griddle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This griddle is exactly what I was looking for - it heats evenly, it's lightweight, it fits exactly over two burners, and it's got a cutout on one corner to pour out the grease. The ceramic cooking surface is very non-stick and stays that way over time. Do not use non-stick sprays (not that you need them), as they will leave a residue over time that's impossible to clean up. Using only a small amount of butter or oil, all of my Green Gourmet pans are as clean and non-stick as they were when I bought them. Cuisinart says they're dishwasher safe, but I've never seen the need to do so; they've never needed more than a few wipes with a soapy sponge to get completely clean.

Designed to fit over two burners on the stove top, this 10-by-18-inch griddle looks a bit like a cookie sheet with handles, but it offers a wide range of stovetop cooking options. Its smooth, flat surface nicely accommodates anything from pancakes, eggs, and hash browns to salmon fillets, falafel patties, veggie shish-kabobs, and more.
Cuisinart's GreenGourmet Hard Anodized line of cookware combines an earth-friendly design with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance with reduced impact on the environment. The cookware's hard-anodized aluminum construction heats up quickly and evenly, which means less energy required to achieve the desired cooking temperature, and its exclusive, scratch-resistant, ceramic-based nonstick coating (PTFE/PFOA-free and petroleum-free) helps reduce oil consumption and preserve the environment--plus it's applied at a temperature one half that of conventional nonsticks, and it won't peel off. Furthermore, its nonstick cooking surface ensures effortless food release without the need for excess butter or oil, which means lower fat cooking options and quick cleanup. The cookware's riveted side handles stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are made from 70-percent recycled stainless steel. Even more, Cuisinart uses packaging made from 100-percent recycled materials and printed with soy ink. Oven-safe up to 500 degrees F and safe to use under the broiler, the cookware cleans up easily by hand and carries a limited lifetime warranty. From the Manufacturer

The assembled product is great. It's sturdy and handsome. The color didn't matter to me because it's in my yard and covered. The assembly was easy; however. . . as others have written, the box was ripped open and two bolts were missing. I thought one of the cross braces was missing so I called the manufacturer. Well, as other have noted, they simply don't respond to problems. I left my name, number and issue and never received a call. I found, ultimately that I was missing only two bolts, nuts and washers. I had plenty around the house so I was able to complete the assembly. I must admit. I need another log rack but am skeptical about the packaging and the obvious non-customer service.

I bought this campfire grill because my wife and I like to tent camp. We always have a campfire. So we decided to try to use fire to cook our meals rather than tote a propane grill along. We used this grill to cook omlet in cast iron skillet and it held skillet nice and level. We also cooked a steak dinner and baked potatoes over the fire. It worked out great! THis grill is nicley constructed (in the USA!). The grill has a nice edge or rim to it so that food does not roll off of grill into the fire. It has a heavy, two-piece (with heavy threaded connection)mounting rod and has a heavy bolt that allows grill to be positioned anywhere up and down the mounting rod to adjust height of cooking over fire. The grill comes with a oven mit, a hot pad and all fits in a carry bag.

Lightning Nuggets N50VBOX Firestarters Box of Fire-Starting Nuggets, 50 Count
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used the brick type fire starters up till now, usually breaking them into thirds. These almost always worked well in my wood stove, lighting 6 inch diameter split logs with no kindling.
These seemed to be too small and too light to match that performance. But they are at least as good as my previous fire starters, needing no kindling to start fires in my stove. I place two split logs parallel to each other with an inch or two between them where I place one of these fire starters. On top of these I place one or two more split logs at an angle. So far only one fire starter has been all I need to get a good fire going.

Quickly and safely start any indoor or outdoor fire, in any season, with this box of 50 fire-starting nuggets. The non-toxic environmentally safe pine-scented nuggets have an unlimited shelf life and feature a blend of highly resinous, pulverized pitchwood sawdust and food-grade paraffin wax. Best of all, each nugget lights easily and burns strong for 15 minutes minimum, which means it only takes one round-shaped nugget to start the fire--no need for newspaper and kindling or messy lighter fluids or gels. The fire-starting nuggets leave behind no residue and can be safely used in fireplaces, fireplace inserts, wood stoves, and pellet stoves, as well as in barbeques and campfires. They make it easy to enjoy a nice fire without the hassle of getting it started. They also make a great addition to an emergency kit or backcountry survival kit. Made in the USA, the fire starters come in a box that measures 10-1/5 by 5-1/5 by 4-4/5 inches.

Bodum Chambord Stainless Steel Stovetop Espresso Maker Review

Bodum Chambord Stainless Steel Stovetop Espresso Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I must get something out of the way first:
The reviewers who griped about the handle breaking must not have read the instructions, which clearly state to NOT tighten the top using the handle. The handle on both my coffee pots (I own both the small and large versions) have worked perfectly well for the six or more months I've owned them. There is nothing wrong with either the design or use of these pots that a little common sense wouldn't have fixed, and it's a shame to see such a wonderful product unfairly reviewed.
Okay, with the air cleared, I'll move on to the review:
I have owned and used a Bialetti aluminum stovetop "Moka" pot for years. Bialetti's pots are just fine, but the untreated aluminum discolors and stains easily.
Keep in mind, a stovetop espresso pot will give you percolated espresso (if you use espresso roast coffee) which is not the same as a traditional espresso shot, like what you'd get from Starbucks. Frankly, I think it tastes better, but it is different, and there's little or no "crema" with a percolated espresso.
If you move to Bodum's pots from Bialetti, as I did, you will immediately notice how the fit and finish of these pots is clean and precise. Screwing the top to the bottom is silky smooth (unlike the Bialetti that can squeak and chatter). The gasket that forms the seal between top and bottom appears to be made of black silicone, and remains springy and supple even after all the months of daily use I've given it. (Bodum includes a replacement gasket in the box, but I can't imagine when I'll need to replace it.) The gasket with the Bialetti is white, and appears to be made of rubber, and will discolor the first time you use it, and goes on to form tiny cracks fairly quickly.
When you make a pot of percolated espresso, "low and slow" is the general rule. Fill the stainless steel filter basket, but do not overfill and DO NOT pack the grains down. You will want to use only a percolated grind, which is a grind roughly the size of "Sugar in the Raw" granules. To use anything finer will result in clogging of the filters, grains of coffee in the top pot (and in your cup) as well as down into the water reservoir.
Fill the bottom reservoir with water up to the max fill line. Make sure there are no grains of coffee on the lip of the basket. Sit the basket down into the reservoir, and screw the top on to the bottom (ahem... and do not use the handle to tighten, per my opening rant!) Tighten it fairly tight - you want a good solid seal - but don't over-tighten. Too loose, and the pressure of the boiling water cannot come up and into the top carafe.
Set you heat fairly low. The coffee will start to flow silently and slowly at first. The trick seems to be to immediately turn off the heat once water is exhausted and the perc head is hissing and bubbling a bit; the coffee will be about 1/4 inch from the bottom opening of the perc head.
Cleanup is a breeze. Disassemble your pot when it's cool. Use something plastic (a bic pen cap works perfectly) to remove the silicone gasket. Clean everything with warm sudsy water and dry. Or put it in the dishwasher. (Something you can't do with Bialetti.)
Keep in mind...
If you have your coffee ground at Starbucks or Peet's, remember to make a point of explaining that you need a Percolator (or "Moka Pot") grind. You definitely do NOT want the typical espresso dust type of grind, or you will not enjoy your Chambord!
I have zero regrets with either of my Bodum Chambord espresso pots, and highly recommend them to everyone. I hope some of this was useful to you. ENJOY!

They sent the wrong part, am still waiting to recieve the right one. We heat the wing of our home with this stove and it has been a huge inconvenience to have it not working!

Copperfield 78160 Ecofan For Wood Stoves, Black Body, Gold Blades Review

Copperfield 78160 Ecofan For Wood Stoves, Black Body, Gold Blades
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The blades move faster the higher the stove temp. A wood burning stove is best for this fan as the heavily insulated pellet stoves don't have enough surface heat to get the fan spinning decently. I have an Englander wood stove and run it at around 400-550 degrees and this fan pushes enough air that it will flutter a dangling piece of paper from 10ft away. It is also silent and I do mean silent (very nice) whereas those bolt-on accessory fans made for wood stoves that plug into the wall outlet sound like a hairdryer on terminal overload.
The fan generates electricity and runs from the temp differential between the stove surface and the heat sinks at the top (some kind of piezzo electric thing or some such). If you fire up the stove too hot (over 600 degrees) there's a metal flat spring on the bottom of the fan base that tips up the front a fraction of an inch to keep the fan from getting too hot and damaging it. As the stove cools back down below 600deg the spring straightens back out and the fan sits flat on the stove surface again.
I cannot recommend this product enough. It's wonderful.

Lodge Logic Camp Dutch Oven Review

Lodge Logic Camp Dutch Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
People seem to either love, hate, or have total disinterest in cast iron cookware. I love it. It seems to have a lot more soul than "modern" utensils.
I've been reading "Little House on the Prarie" to my daughter and she enjoyed hearing how the Ingalls used a pot just like daddy has.
This dutch oven is quite versitile. I can use it with campfire coals, with charcoal, over my Coleman campstove, or in the oven at home. The legs are too long to use on my rangetop at home (without risking damage to the range surface).
Dutch oven cooking is an acquired skill (on top of the general cast iron learning curve), but I've had no problems so far. I have mostly used it to make chicken or beef stew when camping.
Once you get hooked on dutch ovens, then you start wanting accessories. I use a charcoal chimney to start the coals, a pair of metal tongs to move the coals around, and a metal oil drain pan to contain the coals. I've just ordered a Lodge lid lifter, lid rack, and leather gloves to make the whole process a bit easier and safer.
I'm also already thinking of my next dutch oven. It will be the "deep" 8 quart. The 4 quart being reviewed here is 10" diameter at the lid and 3-1/2" deep. The "deep" 8 quart is 12" at the lid and 5" deep. (The standard depth 12" oven is 6 quarts, the standard depth 8 quart is 14" diameter). For soup or stew I like to leave some space below the rim so I probably only get 3 quarts in the 4 quart model, while the deeper 8 quart model would allow a greater percentage of the volume to be used. I imagine for bisquits or other baked goods the standard depth is probably fine.

Not a bad product, but the finish could use improvement.
While the can and shovel are heavy/sturdy enough, the black paint applied to both doesn't hold up well to hot coals. When shoveling out the woodstove, the hot coals in the can blistered the paint and actually caused it to burn. The whole house smelled like burned paint and it took some time with a floor fan at the patio door to draw the smoke out of the house.
It might make more sense to have the can and shovel "blued" as they do with firearms, as opposed to painted.
