Cuisinart 77-10 Chef's Classic Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set Reviewed

Cuisinart 77-10 Chef's Classic Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set

When it comes to the family kitchen, most cooks, whether male or female, want the best cookware set for the job.  People who love cooking take pride in every aspect -- from preparation to presentation.  In this regard, the Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Cookware Set does not disappoint.

With this 10-piece cookware set, you can prepare a whole meal all at once.  It comes with two skillet, two sauce pans and a great big stock pot.  What other goodies come in the box?  Well, let us see…

Cookware set:

• 8- and 10-inch skillet
• 1-1/2 and 3-quart saucepans w/lids
• 3-1/2-quart sauté pan w/lid
• 8-quart stockpot w/lid

Product features:

• Stainless steel with mirror finish
• Riveted handles
• Aluminum core for even heating
• Dishwasher safe
• Can be used in the freezer, under the broiler, and in oven up to 500 degrees F

Okay, so you aren’t giddy – but you will admit that this is a top-notch cookware set, no?  I mean, how many other of you cookware can be placed in your broiler – without handing you back a puddle of goo?

Cuisinart is certainly a popular brand for kitchen ware of any type, from blenders to toaster ovens.  They have earned their stripes by producing quality kitchen tools and this cookware set is no exception.  Customers LOVE it.  They rate it 4.2 out of 5 stars possible in the customer reviews – and if that isn’t an acceptable vote of confidence then you tell us what is.

Stainless steel cookware adds versatility for cooking your favorite dishes, but more than that, it adds a professional distinction and beauty to your kitchen that you are proud to show off.

As cookware goes, this is a high quality cookware set.  The inner aluminum core allows even heat distribution, while the mirrored appearance on the outside offers a professional luster.  There is no reason for your cookware not to be the topic of conversation at your next dinner party.

Perhaps the best feature of this cookware set is its quality and durability.  The set is heavy enough that it will last for many years, but it is also lightweight enough to handle easily.  The handles are set to increase balance and so that they feel secure and sturdy in your hands.

Keeping your stainless steel cookware looking good is important.  Vinegar is a good choice to help keep it shiny.  If it tends to get a little spottier than you would like, you can also clean it with a product called Bar Keeper's Friend.  [http://amzn.to/1sqXWSE]

What customers say

Most customers are very pleased with their purchase of the Cuisinart 77-10 Chef's Classic Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set.  4.2 stars out of 5 is a super rating!  This rating is across 957 reviews – just a stunning performance among earlier buyers of this cookware set.  That this cookware set moved these earlier customers to submit so many positive comments is a huge vote of confidence in itself!

There are complaints so.  Some would indicate that the cookware quality did not live up to expectations, but we don’t know just how these customers used the equipment – and what are we supposed to do with the 85% of customers who disagree with them?

Perhaps the biggest complaint is that this set is lighter than older sets.  Many people find this a problem as lighter cookware can mean lower quality.  However, many other customers actually enjoy that feature.  While we normally frown on eavesdropping, let us listen in on what some of them had to say…

**This wonderful cookware heats evenly and quickly, looks awesome with or without food, and has a nice feel to it when used.

**They're a good weight, not so heavy that you break your wrist lifting them, but not remotely flimsy either.

**Nice, big cool touch handles, good distribution of heat.

**It is such a pleasure to use the pieces in this set because I can depend on even and properly cooked food.  After cooking, cleanup is a snap.

When reading the negative reviews it is easy to get caught up in their disappointment, but to properly assess a product, one has to maintain objectivity.  You can’t ever be SURE that any cookware set will live up to you expectations of it – until you try it.  The real question is whether the Cuisinart 77-10 Chef's Classic Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set is even worth trying.  That decision is up to you.

Nonstick Cookware - Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel 10-Piece Set Reviewed

Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel II Nonstick Cookware Set 10-Piece

If you are just starting out in your first kitchen, you may be considering buying an inexpensive, durable, and quality set of nonstick cookware.   There is a lot of hype out there – as one manufacturer, attempts to extol the virtues of their nonstick cookware while hinting any other might be downright dangerous.

We hope that, this article will cut through some of the rhetoric – and we may learn a thing or two in the offing.   Come with us – and we will explore the world of nonstick cookware together…

The Rachel Ray Porcelain Enamel Nonstick Cookware is a 10-to-14 piece cooking set featuring  one-quart, two-quart, and three-quart covered saucepans, a six-quart stockpot, and one each 8.5 and 10 inch skillet.

All of these offer vibrant colors with non-stick finish, and aluminum construction - which makes it lightweight and easy to clean up.   Rachael Ray – a name you surely realize – offers us a wonderful 10 piece nonstick cookware set, all with tempered glass lids and easy to grip handles.

Cookware set:

• 1-Quart Saucepan w/lid
• 2-Quart Saucepan w/lid
• 6-Quart Stockpot w/lid
• 3-Quart Saute w/lid
• 8.5-Inch Skillet
• 10-Inch Skillet

Product features:

• Heats quickly and evenly
• Nonstick interior
• Quick and easy clean up
• Dual-riveted handles
• Well-fitted tempered glass lids

Nobody seems to be arguing that the wide variety of bright vivid colors on this nonstick cookware enhances most any kitchen décor.  Simply put, this cookware set is beautiful to look at.  Customers also agree quite consistently that the Teflon coating makes cleanup a breeze.  There are of course some concerns raised about Teflon coating but read this review completely through before making your decision.  You might learn something valuable.

Now, more than a few customers have been disappointed with the color of their cookware.  One consistent complaint is that the purple cookware set is somewhat more blue than purple.  One complaint that you will see often is that the color comes off the inner coating and stains dishtowels and the like.  Of course, while this seems to bother a small percentage of customers – a customer review rating of 4.2 stars out of five, simply does not lie.  How often are YOU impressed with a product of any variety that inspires you to write a review of it, hmmm?

• 5 star     263
• 4 star     66
• 3 star     26
• 2 star     22
• 1 star     31

The customer mapping says that, of some 400-customer reviews – only fifty or so fall below the three star levels.  We are not going to shrug off the complaints, because you should know what to expect before you buy – but a strong showing like this among earlier customers is the highest form of flattery.  We cannot ignore that either.  Here are some customer comments..

• **This cookware set looks absolutely stunning in my kitchen.  I use them almost every day. 
• **Easy clean, non-stick, great weight.  Perfect pop of color.
• **As w/ all Teflon though, can scratch and flake off in your food.
• **The glass lids allow you to see what's cooking and the handles are easy to grip! 

This is NOT a professional set of cookware.  If you want that, we have reviewed some seriously impressive cookware sets that you can find on site at Sincere Product Reviews at any time, such as the one at this link [http://sincereproductreviews.com/lodge-5-piece-cast-iron-cookware-set/}.  However, this perfect gift for a couple just starting out or perhaps for someone who simply wants a nice splash of color that draws the attention of visitors.

When 350 out of 400 reviews are positive – while only 50 are below three stars, it is difficult to see how this cookware can fail you – but given the nature of the complaints, we recommend studying the one and two star reviews closely to get a feel for what the issues are – and if they matter to you.

Remember that the inside coating is Teflon – which may be the best thing for clean up, but bits of the coating certainly can come off and end up in your food.  To be fair – this is true of most any non-stick coating, so the question becomes this; is Teflon coating dangerous?

To answer this question – we refer you to this informative article:  http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?ContentTypeID=1&ContentID=4491 which clearly indicates that it is NOT.  For those concerned, this article offers suggestions on how to deal with Teflon coated cookware – but we could find no compelling reason to avoid it altogether.

That does not imply that you ought to use cookware coated with Teflon or any coating.  We also have reviewed some very nice cast iron cookware – such as this one [http://sincereproductreviews.com/lodge-5-piece-cast-iron-cookware-set/] so that you can remove the issue of cookware coating entirely, if you wish.  However, it is always good to know just where one stands when considering such things.

Entertain your guests with homemade hospitality from this 10-piece cookware set, and enjoy the ease of non-stick surface clean up after you are done.  The durable and dishwasher safe aluminum construction offers you an even cooking temperature so all of your favorite dishes come just as you imagined.  Earlier customers are your best guide to a solid set of nonstick cookware that will serve you well during their lifetime.  Rachael Ray offers you this affordable 10-piece set to start you on your way.  Maybe you should take it.

The Smart Watch Assault: Prepare for It!

Beware the Smart Watch Revolution!

The Smart Watch is a boon for everybody.  Consumer electronic companies are giddy. They can't help themselves. They have a new thing. A new gadget. A new widget to sell to you. After years of notebooks, tablets and boring slabs of metal and glass, Samsung, LG, Motorola and all the rest finally have the Smart Watch to enthrall their audiences. The question is: is the Smart Watch just another smart gadget?  Probably so, since it likely won't do much that one's PC or phablet cannot manage - but it is an interesting notion that the smart watch might drag us out of hibernation and into using the venerable old wrist watch again. Now, the smart watch is not new - and despite the buzz around the soon to be released apple smart watch - it is not the first smart watch on the block.  Indeed, there are many, and if you want to count the analog variety - they have been around longer than you care to imagine.  This new incarnation can do more - but this is true of everything from out TV sets to our toaster ovens. What we are about to witness - is a revolution in smart watches.  They will be released hard and fast in rapid response to test groups and consumer feedback.  They will measure your heart rate at rest, monitor your pulse at exercise and enhance your life during anytime. If you explore your surroundings, you will see smart watch offerings coming from just about any manufacturer who makes smart consumer electronics.  Anybody not in the game is probably not long for the smart electronics market in any case.  It is not a place for the squeamish.  You have to get out on the field and play.

Philips Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor Reviewed

Philips Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor

Philips Norelco 1250X/47 SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor with Jet Clean System, Frustration Free Packaging (Series 8000)

OK.  The Phillips Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor is with us.  Are you ready for a brand new experience in shaving?  Ok, OK, it’s only a razor, I get it.  However, that is just the point.  The Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor is much MORE than “just a razor.”  It strives to give us a completely new take on shaving.

Let us get in closer and see what this shaving system has to offer…

Main Features of the Philips Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor

• Exceptionally Smooth Shave
• Gyroflex 3D facial contour-following technology
• Shaves wet or dry
• Ergonomic grip offers precision control
• Jet Cleaning Technology for easy cleaning
• One hour charge time

The 3D contouring system is probably the star of the show, though the cleaning system is most impressive also.  The Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor uses a Gyro Flex technology that enables the head to pivot and tilt so as to follow the natural contours of the face.

This unique system includes an aquatic sealing technology that enables the user to shave wet or dry with no negative effects.  A pop-up trimmer is included and the Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor is cordless, of course, giving you over fifty hours of shaving time on a single 1-hour charge.

One of the biggest concerns about using an electric razor is you never get the same shave twice.  Even the best razor usually requires a lot of prodding to get to those stubborn areas where blotches of hair reside – but according to the customers, there is no such problem with the Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor.

What Customer say about the Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor

At $220, The Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor is rather expensive.  Customers comment on the fact, but they say that the money is well spent.  One gets the firm impression that given the same choice, they would buy it again.

The unit scores a whopping 4.3 stars out of five and customers speak plainly in their praise of this shaving system.  Of 523 reviews, fully 436 of these were ABOVE three stars.  Well, why not let them tell you for themselves…

Here are some of the actual comments that consumers have left over on the Amazon website: [http://amzn.to/1uahLvO]

• This electric shaver, however, is in my opinion the closest you can get to a razor shave.
• The new "3d" head, although gimmicky in title, is very precise and does not leave any area untreated.
• The detachable head is extremely easy to clean and really does come out clean when you are done.
• The battery lasts enough for a several shaves, and charging an empty battery is incredibly fast, can't ask for more in this department.
  5 Out of 5.
• Simply put, this is the best electric shaver I've ever owned!  It's quiet, fast, and cuts extremely close.

These comments actually address some of the common concerns men have about shaving.  Preferring a razor shave but understanding that they take too long to accomplish on a regular basis.  Cleaning an electric razor can sometimes be a real pain.  Philips has addressed this by producing a shaver that is easy and quick to clean and one that is truly free from hair and stubble.

Knowing that the charging time is quick is another huge benefit of this razor plus the fact that you can get around 17 days worth of shaves from one (FAST) charge of the batteries.  The cleaning system cleans your razor, lubricates your razor, and charges your razor.  What’s left for you to do?  Get in a few extra holes on the golf course, I suppose.

Included in your purchase of The Philips Norelco 1250X SensoTouch 3D Electric Razor is the razor (natch) along with a charging stand, a protective cap, a cleaning brush and a soft pouch that is perfect for travelling and for storage.

As we mentioned this is a more expensive razor but from all the positive comments it does seem that Philips has made a razor that delivers!  Now, it seems that you can get that long promised razor close shave from an electric razor.  Time really does march on…

Have fun!

Portable Gas Powered Generator: DuroStar DS4000S 4,000 Watts Reviewed

DuroStar DS4000S 4,000 Watt 7.0 HP OHV 4-Cycle Portable Gas Powered Generator

Purchasing a portable gas powered generator for your home can be a daunting task.  There are plenty of makes, models and sizes so that sorting them out can be overwhelming.  If you are making a first-time purchase of a portable gas powered generator, then your problems have just tripled.

Ignorance can disastrous when choosing a generator.  You may want to talk to an electrician or other person knowledgeable about these units who can help you understand how certain units might best fit your needs.  Armed with a bit of education, it is then up to YOU to find a quality unit at a great price.

Do NOT buy your portable gas powered generator unit from the same person who gave you the advice – unless you have every reason to trust her – or – unless you have done your homework, so that you understand what is being offered.  You do not want to get this one wrong.  Surely, it is no fun to be in the dark when the power goes out, but it is even less fun if your generator falls down on the job.

With that in mind, we have a suggestion for a portable gas powered generator that we think has merit.  Not only is it highly rated by earlier customers, but does its job too.  Let us take a closer look.

Product Features:

• 4000 Watt Surge/3300 watt continuous
• 4 Gallon gas tank/8 hour run time
• EZ-Pull recoil start
• EPA Approved
• Automatic low oil shut off
• Super quiet muffler

This DuroStar DS4000S portable gas powered generator is great for small projects or for use in your RV or maybe at a campsite.  It does not come with wheels, but it is lightweight enough so that you can move it around easily to carry it anywhere.  In any case, if wheels are at issue, you can buy a “wheel kit” separately and perhaps save your back a bit of grief.

The DuroStar DS4000S portable gas powered generator is set at a very reasonable price (around $350) so if you cannot afford a larger model for your home, this puppy will definitely do in a pinch.  If you live in areas prone to power outages or where electrical power takes a week to get back on, that is a really fine price to protect yourself from the inevitable.

It is powerful enough to provide power for near any purpose – even to keeping your appliances running, so long as you stay below the load rating.  This is a portable generator – not a whole house generator.  During emergencies you will have to make some choices but that is better than having no options at all.

The functional power panel that houses the main controls includes a start switch, a voltmeter, and circuit breaker.  The DuroStar DS4000S portable gas powered generator comes ready for action with two 120-volt, 20-amp, 3-prong outlets (NEMA 5-20R) which can supply power to all of your home appliances needed.  It also comes with one 120-volt, 30-amp outlet (NEMA L5-30) for high-powered tools in case you are the handy type, your power tools are well provided for.

We should note that this model of portable gas powered generator is NOT CARB-compliant.  This is important if you live in certain states (like California) where if you plan to purchase a portable gas powered generator you must purchase a model that is CARB-compliant.  Again, do your homework before you buy.

The DS4000S will run for eight hours at one-half load.  The fuel tank holds four gallons (quite large) of fuel and includes an easily readable gauge.  The DS4000S is constructed of a heavy-duty steel frame with four-point fully isolated motor mounts (betcha can’t say that again).  This makes the unit sturdy and allows for a smooth and quiet operation.  It also has a  low oil shut-off to protect the engine, an ultra quiet muffler to reduce engine noise and an EZ pull recoil start to get it up and running quickly.

So, what do earlier customers think of the DuroStar DS4000S portable gas powered generator?  

Survey Says!

It's a winner!  Customers love this portable gas generator.  They rate it 4.3 stars out of five possible – and that about says it all.  There are surely some dissatisfied customers – as there always will be – but in most cases, every complaint was different.  This hints at the problems seeming to focus on an individual unit, as opposed to any systemic problem across all units of this model.

The DuroStar SD4000S portable gas powered generator has received many good reviews, from earlier customers who have been very pleased with the unit during power outages for running basic items about the home like the fridge, freezer and lights.  Other customers reported running sump pumps in their basement during hurricane conditions.  Here's what a few others had to say:

**I was very nicely surprised with how (comparatively) quiet this generator was working on small, enclosed patio (brick walls) and right outside the window.

**Did what I needed it to.  Ran sump pump, fridge, freezer, garage door opener,and a light in kitchen and basement.  Sump pump was running every 5-6 minutes for a few hours - if it wasn't for our Durostar, our 2/3 finished basement would be underwater now.  In my mind, it just paid for itself in damage avoided.

**It starts easy, is quiet and performs perfect.  And believe me I put equipment thru the test.

**Sure enough the first blow from Sandy knocked out our power for 11 days.  This little generator got us through those days by running two refrigerators, two sump pumps, furnace, sundry lights, and recharged various cell phones.

**One small issue is after 214 hours of use (actual run time), even after changing the oil every 30 hours or so, it has started to blow a little smoke. 

This unit is also perfect for people who love to go camping but cannot always find a spot that has electricity available.  With this portable gas powered generator, that isn’t a problem at all.  Moreover, with a portable gas powered generator you can go where no man has gone before.  You will find yourself camping in some super-nice remote areas where most campers cannot go, and you still will have the convenience of hearth, home, and electricity.

Thinking about it, a portable gas powered generator seems more a necessity than a luxury.  Get one for yourself and when the lights go out and the neighbor is doing an emergency barbecue to avoid spoiling the meat, you can eat his meat while preserving your own.  Who says you can’t have it all?

Three Eco-Friendly Push Lawn Mowers Reviewed

Eco-Friendly Manual Push Lawn Mowers

So, the old-fashioned push lawn mower is dead, right?   No, that was a trick question.   Actually, these are still very much with us – and really do not seem to be going anywhere soon.

First, when it comes to being truly eco-friendly with your lawn care, you just cannot beat a manual push lawn mower.  These are simply blades on wheels that you supply the power they need to work.  What with all the gas and electric power mowers, you would think this idea would have little appeal, but these are exceptional products for fitness buffs, for people who are physically fit, and do not mind getting a bit of extra exercise when doing their yard work.

Besides the exercise, there are many benefits to the traditional push lawn mower.  They are easy to keep up for one thing.  No engine trouble shooting, or cleaning spark plugs or other tasks best left to a qualified mechanic.  About the worst thing that happens to a push lawn mower is that a clump of grass might get caught in the works, in which case your most complicated job is to pull the clump free.

A push lawn mower is dead quiet, it does not belch noxious fumes, it is lightweight, easy to use and it will not disturb the neighbors when mowing your lawn on a weekend.  So, still think people who buy a push lawn mower is stuck in the sixties?  Think again.

For your consideration, we have picked out three promising models of push lawn mower.  All these are very basic and simple to use.  Heck, you just push them around.  Have fun as you study these options.  Even if you are not in market for a push mower – it’s still fun to read and learn.  Come with me…

Greenworks 25052 16-Inch 5-Blade Push Lawn Mower With Grass Catcher

ASIN: B002ZVOLY8

Item model number: 25052

Product Link at Amazon:  http://amzn.to/1rJLhtQ

The first model we chose uses a bag to catch your grass clippings, but this time-consuming chore is best left to those with power mowers who have little choice.  Using a bag with a push lawn mower is like putting catsup on a steak – but if you do want to collect your clippings, this model might just be for you.  Let us have a look at it now…

Product Features:

• 16" cutting path gets the job done fast!
• 2-in-1 feature offers rear bag and mulching
• 4-position height adjustment from 1 1/8" to 2 1/4".  Get the perfect cut on all grass types
• 10" front wheels and 2" rear rollers make this mower easy to handle

What Customers Are Saying:

**Easy to put together and cuts the grass well.

**This mower does its job.  Yes there might be some grass not perfectly even cut, but I don't have to deal with noise, gas and so on.

**I like this mower because I can mow at dawn, beat the heat, and get no noise complaints from the neighbors.  I get just a little workout because the mower pushes easily.

**Even at the highest level I couldn't get this thing to mow my lawn.  Granted my grass is not the typical type but if you have a thicker lawn than I would pass on this.

This push lawn mower is rated 3.7 stars out of five, but do not judge it too harshly.  A push lawn mower is a very personal piece of equipment –and you really have to find one that like you – and that you like.  That this mower is able to strike that balance for the overwhelming number of earlier customers speaks very highly of it.  If you want a push mower with bag and mulch – please consider the Greenworks 25052 16-Inch 5-Blade Push Lawn Mower with Grass Catcher.

Scotts 2000-20 20-Inch Classic Push Lawn Mower

ASIN: B00004RA3E

Item model number: 2000-20

Product Link at Amazon:   http://amzn.to/1lF9tLq

Our last offering  is the Scotts 2000-20 model push lawn mower.  Right off, we notice this one has good-sized rear wheels, which should make it the easier to maneuver about your yard.  It also has over 900 customer reviews, so this is a very well received model that is well-tried by the customers.  Let us see what you think of it.

Product Features:

• 20-inch cut
• 10-inch dual tracking wheels
• 9 grass heights to choose from (1-3 inches)
• Quick-snap height adjusters
• 5 steel blades that have been heat-treated

What Customers Are Saying:

**The blades come aligned direct from the factory but on occasion they made get knocked out of wack by careless shippers.  But Scott makes it quite easy to realign the blades.  Maintenance is easy.  I wipe mind down with a rag and then hit the blades and bearings with WD40 per the instructions.

**Despite the warnings that push reel mowers are for flat and manicured lawns, this thing is doing great on my rolling prairie.  It's not hard to push, even uphill.  Look at it as a productive aerobic exercise.  I love it.

**These mowers do struggle with tall grass or weeds.  If you let the lawn go, it will not cut tall grass.

**The light weight, low noise, cutting height range (1"-3"), and wide cutting path make this mower worth every penny.  I highly recommend this mower.

Earlier customers just love this push lawn mower.  They give it 3.8 out of five stars across 994 customer reviews.  That there are nearly 1,000 customer reviews as of this writing just drops our jaw.  It is hard enough to get 900 customers excited enough to write a review at all, let alone to have nearly all of them rave about the darn thing.

Do we really need to say anything else?  Right – ‘nuff said.

As you can see, reel manual mowers are standard stuff.  People buy them for all sorts of reasons, but the main ones are no fumes, lightweight, easy to maintain and no noise to disturb the neighbors.

These mowers are great for people who live in duplex and don't have large areas to mow or for people who live in the suburbs with small to medium-sized yards.  It really depends on how long you want to push a mower, although these can be just as fast as a gas-powered push lawn mower in the hands of the experienced.

One thing you need to keep in mind about these manual push lawn mowers is they do not do well with sticks and twigs.  These will get stuck in the blades.  If you have many trees that drop debris, pinecones, spiky sweet gum balls, etc., then this probably is not the type of mower you want to use - unless you don’t object to pick up those things up before you mow.  They also do not do well in tall grass that has been neglected for too long.

Another thing to remember is to keep the blades sharp.  Just as with any mower, dull blades merely tear your grass up and do not actually cut it.  If you keep these blades, sharp and lubricated, and you should have no problems with performance.

Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Till next time…
