Lodge LGP3 Pre-Seasoned Rectangular Cast-Iron Grill Press



Not just for Carnivores!
I am a vegetarian and I use this grill press all the time. It's great for grilled sandwiches! It will help you make great stuffed french toast. Your hashbrowns won't be a sloppy, crumbly mess anymore. This heavy little bugger is perfect for the aforementioned applications and about 40,000 more but the thing I use it for on almost a daily basis is preparing tofu. That magical bean curd benefits tremendously from the steady pressure of a hot lodge grill press!

Double-duty as a small sandwich/panini and meat press.
This press heavy enough for use as a small meat or sandwich press. You may need to get another one if you like to cook for a large group or like to cook different things in a large pan.

You will still need to season it a bit for sandwiches or they will stick. If you are just frying bacon, then the original finish will also season up in no time.

A basic, no-nonsense product. Handle will get hot.

the press
I bought this for my inside grill. I found when I cooked pork chops the corners wouldn't be quite done because they liked to curl up slightly. This has totally fixed my problem. I do have to adjust my cooking time because the press is a bit heavy & the meat cooks more quickly than before.

Corelle Coordinates Simple Lines 6-Piece Microwave Cookware Set



A bit inexpensive.
I purchased these to go with Corelle plates that I purchased and they matched my pattern. I assumed they would be "Corelle" these do not say "Corelle" on the product anywhere, on the bottom the brand name appears to be "Eurita" (it is difficult to read) by Reston Lloyd Ltd. Does not indicate country of origin.

Arrived timely however they are fairly thin and very light weight but they serve a limited purpose.

The lids go on over a raised lip at the top and appear to seal well. The problem is that they are difficult to remove. On the bottom of the product it states they are dishwasher, microwave and freezer "OK". It does not say dishwasher, freezer and microwave "safe". Maybe it is just a selection of words. I have, in the past, always seen microwave "save", etc.
Can not use in a conventional oven or under a browning element.

Update August 11.2011, I failed to mention these are plastic, I used them once and they now sit in a cabinet and will likely...

Misleading label from Corelle
This product IS NOT FROM Corelle and is made of plastic....Not too happy with the product description and what finally arrived at my doorstep.

Wish I could get the set in larger. Awesome!!
Love this set. I've read reviews saying they are expensive. Everyone has an opinion. Mine is "Wish I could find the same things in a larger size. Love the ventable hood. Keeps the microwave from getting dirty. Got these as a present and was worried that the lines which matched my dishes would wear off. Not a factor nor do I believe they will ever be. I don't take reviews lightly as they are usually are my factor in determining which brand to buy. This is an AWESOME set. Just wish they made them in other sizes.

Lodge A1-12 Camp Dutch Oven Tote Bag, 12-inch



No extra bottom needed
Simple to use.

1) Place lid in bottom of bag first.
2) Place D.O. on top of lid.

This keeps legs from stressing the bottom and allows the oven to breath.

Carry your Dutch Oven in style
This tote bag is made to carry and protect your beloved dutch oven.Why a tote bag you may ask? It not only protects your valuable $50 or antique dutch oven, but it keeps your other items clean if your oven has soot on the outside. These come in different sizes just like the ovens themselves. This particular one will fit a dutch oven up to 8 quarts or 12" in diameter which is the standard size used by scouts and other groups. It has a padded bottom to protect the legs, a heavy duty zipper closure, and carrying straps.

An absolute neccesity
I'm able to carry the D.O. along with the trivet, lid stand, lid lifter, tongs and other items nested inside.
For added safety and convenience I placed a matching size tin plate on the bottom of the bag. It not only protects the bag but it's nice to have a dedicated plate/surface to rest things on.

Nuwave Oven Carrying/Storage Bag



Nuwave Oven Bag
I use my bag for storing the oven Nuwave 20322 Pro Digital-Controlled Infrared Tabletop Oven, Black since I can't keep it out on the counter. The oven sits in the bag assembled and it fits neatly and snugly, even with the extender ring. The bag is a must have for road trips. We like to take ours with us when we stay in hotels so we don't have to eat out if we don't want to. I pack my paper goods, seasonings, and other miscellaneous cooking items that I may need inside the base of the oven so it's like having my own little portable kitchen!

The bag is sturdy, and I think it is a good investment.

Nuwaave Oven Storage Carrying Bag
I am most pleased with the carrying bag for my Nuwave Oven. I use it after every cooking and take it to the campground when we go camping which works out very handy. I think everyone should have one of the carrying bags.

MICROWAVE CHIP MAKER EA



Not worth the money
I thought to try this to make healthy chips, unfortunately the chips cook and get crinkly and do not come out of the holder, hard to get out and most get broken. I would not recommend this product, save your money.

It is good but....
The reason I'm giving 4 stars is that the included slicer doesn't work well and I will have to buy a mandolin. The piece that goes inside microwave works very well. It makes 36 crispy and healthy chips.
