Cadco PCR-1S Professional Cast Iron Range, Stainless Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this single burner range...I serially bought one of several different models (of single burner ranges) locally, tested them, and returned them all. I was disgusted. Then I got this one. It was considerably more expensive, but its rock-solid and has been in use about 18 hours a day, 24 in some cases, for several months.
Its a great size for pans and regular pots, but a bit too large for the smaller pots, like 1-1.5 qt (or even a 2.5 qt, if the latter's got a windsor bottom).
It warms up very quickly, and cools off more gently. If you're used to cooking with gas, this will be a shock because it's cast iron and holds the heat. If you're experienced in cooking with cast iron (pots, pans, ranges :), you'll find it utterly predictable, or at least I do. Sometimes you just have to remove the pan for a few seconds and turn OFF (not down) the heat.
I consider it easy to clean. I've never done more than blow a few crumbs off on the cast iron burner, but I imagine it IS a sponge eater if you scrub it with one (as noted by another reviewer). The burner has a rough surface, but that's all good in my book. It keeps pots and pans from too easily or inadvertantly sliding off the range - prevents potential disaster! The part of the range that I'm really concerned about keeping clean is what all surrounds the burner. That part is all brushed steel, with no seams or holes or "gingerbread", very sturdy, very professional, and a real breeze to keep clean.
Did I mention that I totally love this range, despite the hefty price? It was designed for working cooks, imho. If I ever need yet another burner, I won't bat an eyelash at getting this same model, or at recommending it to a friend.Apr '09 ----- >2 years after original review
Still in near constant use, still working perfectly, still loving it...

Fissler 020 767 00 000 Magic Pan Rest Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For years I've fought with trivets and I've bought dozens of them searching for the perfect one. This is it, no questions asked. It looks great on the table, and really grips both the dish and the table so everything stays put. No spinning casserole dishes or pots that slide away when you try to serve from them...much safer especially with kids around. If you buy two, they will neatly fit together and you can place a very very large serving piece on it. I wish it was a bit cheaper, as the price seemed a bit excessive, but it really is a nifty item and makes a terrific gift for a choosy cook.
