Cooking Tools Reviews

They thought of EVERYTHING when they designed this salad spinner. I got the little one and it is just right for spinning lettuce for 2 and then storing the remainder in the spinner. It definitely causes the lettuce to last longer! :-) AAAA for this product!!

I had no information on this unit when I gave one to my Sister. Later I ask my sister if she would let me use it to see if I would like to get one. She would not even show me how it works. I stated to order one but it would take 30 day before shipping. So I do not have one yet.

Nice, neat place to hang my tools while cooking in my Weber kettle, but after about 6 months, the hooks holding the tools had bent down from the hook shape to an L shape from the heat. Weber, you should use more heat resistant metal for a piece of equipment meant to hang on the side of a grill.

This item is cheap enough that if you have a Weber kettle, it will probably be worth it to get one. I like mine, but it could definitely be engineered better.

The Good:
1) Convenient place to hang your tools.
2) Cheap as can be, yet constructed of decent quality steel.
3) Holds 4 items, when 3 is probably the most I've ever used at one grilling.

The Bad:
1) Any plastic trim on your handles of your tools will likely melt since it sits right next to the heat. Try to keep this away from your starter pile. The same problem can make your tools hot to handle (even my wood handled ones got hot to the touch!)
2) It comes off far too easily when tools get hung up, the kettle is moved, or the lid bumps it too hard. Weber should engineer this to actually "clip" on instead of simply sliding on. I haven't tried clamping down the metal to make it grip better, yet. That may help, but the metal hangers seem too short to lock on permanently.
3) The lid doesn't sit as tightly as it should.
4) The hooks are a bit too close together, so your tools bunch up a little. If it were a little wider it would also make it harder to bump off the grill.

It's not that tough to hook it back on when it falls, but it is annoying when it falls off mid-grill, dropping your clean tools on the ground.

Weber should design an add-on system for these grills. I see no reason why they couldn't add anchor points to the kettle, even simply extending the handle base to either side so adding on a clip like this or other things like condiment tray, etc. becomes simple. I can't believe it would cost that much to do this even on the basic models. It's a 3, but for the money, I'd recommend it anyway (especially for the MacGyver types).

For 4 bucks, this product is great. It is easy to install and holds my tools. Be warned that the tools may get a little hotter than you expect, but once the BBQ cools off from its initial super hot phase (the first 15 minutes) it works very well. I find that it works better with tools that have the little leather rope to hang them by. This tool is a must when I am grilling in a public area and don't really have a good place to put my tongs or spatula.

Again, for 4 bucks, you can't go wrong.

Also, it does NOT stop my lid from sealing (18 1/2 Gold).

So, I saw this Exopat mat on sale... after reading the reviews, it seemed like a great buy. I typically would use aluminum foil to bake, but figured I could save some money by using this re-usable non-stick mat. Well, turns out that it was just as sticky as aluminum foil.

I baked cookies on it a few times, and the cookie smell actually got baked into the silicon. Even after washing and washing, you could see grease circles were the cookies baked.

So, you are paying for a silicon mat that is a pain to wash, seems to stick more than non-stick surface, and soaks in grease. I went to IKEA and purchased a dupont non-stick cookie sheet for 4 dollars and never looked back.

My EXOPAT MAT ended up in the trashcan after a week.

this is half the price as other name brand equivilants... and works just as well. works great... I have to get a bigger one now!

this pan does very good making stir-fries and fried rice. heats fast and stays at temp. good for deep frying small batches of food(egg rolls). very easy and quick clean up.

It's very use to clean and since non-stick pan, highly recommended on any type food.

I have purchased three (3) of these for myself and friends; it is perfect for useing with pre-packaged stir-fry mixes or make/modify your own. Just start the rice cooker, wait 15 mins., heat up the wok and go-to-it. (P.S...I paid $19.99 each so watch for sales)

The vast majority of barbecue toolsets on the market are plagued by flimsiness or bad design. Not so with this set. Made of sturdy stainless steel, they are nicely designed as well when coupled with black grips. All the tools are plenty long, dishwasher safe, and feature rings for hanging for storage. The tongs are especially nice, being of the locking variety. While they might be a bit pricier than other sets, even from Weber, they are well worth the investment.

After shopping around, I finally decided to purchase this stainless-steel tool set by Weber. They are professional-grade tools at a reasonable price, made by a company with a reputation for quality.

When I first opened the package, I realized that these stainless-steel tools are built to last. Gladly, I won't need to buy another grill set for long, long time.

The "easy-grip" handles make them a cinch to wield at the grill, and the locking feature on the tongs greatly enhances their use.

Not only are they functional, but they look great too, perfectly matching my grill!

Another important bonus: they clean easily. No more heavy-duty scrubbing after a BBQ.

Functional, comfortable, durable -- I highly recommend them.

I ordered this set from Amazon and very happy! The spatula is a nice big size (I am a big hands guy) with good comfortable handle. Just right for meat, fish, chicken, anything on the grill. I didn't realize how much utility tongs provide until I got them, and the hold close feature very nice - just throw in the dishwasher when done. Highly reccomended!

The overall qulity of this product is great. The only thing that I think could be better is the handles could be a little longer.

For the price and efficency, this set is top notch. The full warranty for lifetime use and the sweet case is just what makes this product worth more than it actully costs. One of the best wedding gifts available for the groom or possibly the coolest bride.

The temp probe will fail after a few uses. The temp will read 199 F when it fails. DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

All reviews indicating probe failure are consistent with my findings, which is an engineering design flaw in the choice of low-temp material for the wire insulation that eventually carbonizes with high-temp exposure (my opinion). The thermister sensor itself remains functional (assumming it was always inside food; I disassembled one probe to confirm how it failed). The failure will not usually occur immediately, unless exposed to very high temp, such as a grill on sear. As far as I can tell all probes of different manufactures are essentially of the same design (I have several, and they are interchangeable among the units). The main point to take away is that ALL of these will eventually fail after accumulating enough high-temp exposure time. You are essentially cooking the wire insulation until it carbonizes internally and shorts out the sensor. The silly part of this is high-temp wire probes have been around for decades, so this is just plain bad engineering, not rocket science, but so far (based in part on other reviews) I don't know of anyone doing it correctly in the consumer market (you need an industrial probe). The worst environment for these is the grill, which is why I put this review here; you may get only one use.

I bought two of these units. The instructions require you to reset the receiving unit in order to get it to synch with the sending unit. However, it does not seem to work. After many attempts and much frustration, I got it to work.

The unit seems very accurate, and its great to have it remote. However, I have already ruined one of the two probes, as I inserted it into the meat immediately, while I was still searing. My grill temp must have been over the 480 degree limit, as the probe has now been damaged and does not work at all.

I have had four of these, and three have failed. The first two developed cracks, and I suspect that the dishwasher, in which I only washed the bottom part of the marinator as advised, warped and weakened them. After buying two more, the first two having been relegated to the potting shed as seed-starters, I have handled them with kid gloves so to speak, (no dishwasher), and the seal on one fails to hold for even a few hours. So far, so good with the fourth one. Whoopee. These are not cheap items, and even if they were less costly, a 75% failure rate is quite unacceptable. If they really functioned as they should, they would be fabulous for not only marinating in short order, but storing other items as well. All the round canisters and the wide-mouth jar sealer work exceedingly well, but I'll not buy any more "marinators" until there is a successful improvement in design.

When it comes to infusing flavor and marinting foods this is a must have item. It quickly infuses flavors without some of the drawbacks of long term exposure of some marinades. Acids and salts can breakdown foods over time and change the texture, composition and taste. This handy item does the job quickly and preserves the fresh flavors of both the primary food (meat, fish, poultry) and the fresh ingrediants used in the marinade. For summer BBQ is is the ticket for keeping foods moist. Instead of brining cut up chicken for hours try 1/2 in the marinator, then on to the grill. Marinating vegitables for the grill also works excellent and is quick and easy.

This is probably the worst non stick cookware i have seen/used. The coating started peeling off after a couple of uses. (Even though, we ensured that it is hand washed etc. and took good care and precautions).I would never buy farberware non stick cookware again...Complete waste of money and effort....

I love the price but am finding that the coating is starting to chip around the rim of the pots. Also, there is black circles on the bottom of the pot (the side that faces the burner). I am not sure if this is just decoration or not but this black material is also flaking away. Other than that, they are fine.

I received my item in excellent condition and in time. Thank you.

these are nice size pots. they're very easy to cook in and clean and i have no problems when i use them. i bought two, and they're both great.

This is the best pot for the money that I have ever purchased. I've had it a month and it has become the mainstay of my stovetop. It's so hardy, attractive and well-formed for manipulating food. Love the lid too. Can't recommend this pot enough!
