KitchenAid Reviews

I bought two 6-in-1 loaf pans. I use one for making 'melt and pour' soups, and it has been a delight to pour and demold the soaps. I use the other one for baking small fruit cakes, and this is the best loaf pan that I've ever used.
I highly recommend this product for baking breads or making soaps.

The cups measure just fine; however, they do not nest for storage. The handles on the two smaller cups are too short. So, I discarded the leveler which made nesting somewhat easier.

This is the best food processor! I love mine. I bought mine about 3 years ago from Amazon and have used it almost every day. I have been meaning to add a review long before now but-well-time flies!!

I haven't used a food processor since about 30 years ago when I was given a inexpensive discount store model. It was used a few months and given away because it was more trouble than it was worth. Hesitated before getting this KitchenAid because I wasn't sure I would use it enough to justify the expense. My shiny new KFP650 arrived, first thing I noticed is Whoa! this baby's HEAVY! Not gonna be dancing around on my counter like that model 30 years ago. Decided to whip up a batch of blonde brownies and give this bad boy a test run. Dumped in the dry ingredients and a cup of whole pecans that I wanted chopped up a bit. Turned it on, walked over to the door to let the dogs in, came back and where were my pecans!? No sign of them!! That's when I realized that I was playing with the big guns. Tho I have to admit, the ground pecans made such yummy brownies that I've continued to make them that way. This machine has handled everything I've tossed at it and sat there as if to say "That all ya got?" It has turned the drudgery of cooking into something I look forward to because I get to play with my KitchenAid. It's like driving a Porsche after 30 years of driving a go-cart! Watch out world! I'm looking at KitchenAid mixers now! Needless to say, I'm more than pleased with this food processor. Makes bread dough in a blink. I use it daily and sometimes many times a day. Wish I had bought one 30 years ago.

It's powerful, solid, easy to clean, and SO quiet. What more could you ask for? Well, maybe a bigger bowl. When I purchased this I didn't know anything about food processors and I thought an 11 cup bowl would be HUGE, it's not. It's sufficient for most things, but I cook for a large family (7 or so) and find that I have to do some things in batches - that gets annoying. But it works amazingly well and is extremely easy to clean. Since I've purchased it I've seen some my friends have and can tell you this is the top of the line! (and consumer reports agrees)

Generally Kitchenaid stuff is quality, and it seems to be so. Because this is not a universal steamer you have the full 12 inches of diameter avaiable. To answer the question that I feel many looking here want answered, yes this steamer does fit both your 12 inch Calphalon Everyday Pan, and your 8 1/2 quart Calphalon pan. The fit is not a tight fit, you have about 1/8 of an inch of 'free play'. However the fit is good enough that the steamer always fully covers the pan even if don't bother to center it precisely center on top. You will be satisfied (I don't think one can expect better considered the steamer was not made specifically for Calphalon.) Hope this helps.

I couldn't survive my big cooking days without this pot. It was one of the best purchases I have made on amazon. I love how it distributes the heat evenly when making acidity sauces. This is the one pot I will never loan out. LOL :)

I have been lusting after this pan for a long time. I work at a kitchen store, and am familar with most of the top of the line brands available. Above all of the others, I love the Kitchenaid cookware. I received this 8 qt stock pot as a Christmas present from my (ever so wonderful) sister... I insisted on making the Christmas porridge in it the next morning. I am so happy. This pan heats stunningly well and evenly, and there is so much room! The lid is one of my favorite features. It has such a deep draw, it will never boil off. This is an excellent addition to any cookware set, and at least a piece of Kitchenaid is necessary for any really passionate cook. Try one, you'll want them all! I know I do... Next, the 5 qt. saute!
