Oven Reviews

I own two of these Lodge 10" Dutch ovens, as well as other sizes from 5" to 16". The gent that gives it one star should educate himself on the proper use of the oven. He should not judge a product that he knows nothing about. He should sell his DO to a party that appreciates the proper use and quality of the product. The Lodge Dutch ovens are great units if seasoned properly, and are extremely easy to clean with just hot water.

This oven is a great size for cooking side dishes, as well as cakes and cobblers. It is also perfect for RV travel. We cook 10" Sourdough Coffee Cakes to give to friends at Christmas. The smiles are worth it. I am sorry to see it being out of stock. I feel more people should get acquainted with the art of cooking as their ancestors did everyday. It is relaxing as well as historic.

I've owned two of these pots for years, and just bought another. I also use 14-16 other Cast Iron pieces from small to large skillets, griddles, chicken fryers..etc. You can't find a better method of cooking than with Cast Iron whether cooking indoors or out! It's one of the best investments you'll make of both your money and your time to care for it. At least your kids will 'have a relic' from these, unlike most any other cookware!

This is an excellent item if you're going camping somewhere where you will be building a campfire.This is what it is meant for,it isn't designed for use indoors.You can't beat these for campsite stews.They are heavy so backpacking with them wouldn't work.They are perfect if you don't have to carry them very far.

I purchased this MicroHood in December and had it installed in a new home. Delivery was held up due to scheduling delivery with the contractors and the Christmas rush of shipments that UPS had to deal with, but it arrived without damage.

The unit far exceeds my expectations in its cooking ability. Everything we have used it for, from warming up coffee to cooking vegetables, has come out perfectly hot without hot spots. It does a good job of keeping food warm without overcooking. We thought we would only use it occasionally, but is so easy to use and does it so well, we've ended up using it at almost every meal. The fan noise is more than we expected, however there are three settings for the fan and the lowest setting moves considerable air with little noise. The floor of the unit does get hot when the lights are used but we have not experienced any delay in cooking related to a cool down cycle. We have not received the $50.00 rebate yet, though the information with the rebate does say to allow 6-8 weeks for delivery. I wouldn't take the rebate as a deciding factor.

We love our MicroHood and recommend it in spite of the noise, heat and rebate issues. After all, who can find fault with an appliance that is so curtious it tells you to 'ENJOY YOUR MEAL' after it finishes cooking?!

This item was purchased to replace a 20+ year old oven. Different mounting holes from the original but the included paper template made it a straightforward installation. Total install time was approximately one hour. Can be completed by one person but two is easier. A leading consumer magazine considers this a “best buy” in their Jan/04 issue. The $50 rebate was received in about 6 weeks. A Panasonic web page allows one to track a rebate’s progress. Generic charcoal filters are available from Home Depot for $15 a pair. Vent fan will turn on automatically when the internal temperature reaches a certain point. For example, when there’s a lot of activity on the stovetop below. This is a feature that protects the internal electronic components. The night-light doesn’t activate the fan! Overall, a great purchase for $199.

We bought this microwave for $199 last month from Amazon.com. What a good price plus there was free shipping and the $50 rebate! We never had an over-the-range microwave before and did not know what to expect with the install or the size of it. It is huge compared to our old counter top model and it was not too difficult to install. The fan is ultra quiet compared to our old fan- I do not understand how any one can say it is loud. Also we have used to light as a night light all night long, and never had the fan come on as the other review noted.
The buttons are easy to follow and the food cooks much better then in our old microwave. Also the plate never gets hot as it did for us in our old oven. And the food cooks not just on the outside edges, but in the middle as well equally! Amazingly good quality at an amazingly good price! We love it. And it is very pretty in white. The two level cooking with the shelf is awesome as well. The best quality microwave you can find at it price for sure!

I REALLY loved this baking sheet when I first got it, so I was supremely disappointed when the nonstick coating began flaking off, essentially rendering it unusable. I may have gotten a bad batch or something. The product has a lifetime warantee and I do intend to send it back in, but wanted to let folks know about my experience.

I perchased this baking sheet approximately 5 years ago. It is still in great shape, same as the day it arrived. If you wash by hand, no dishwashers, it will last a lifetime, (prevents non-stick flaking/peeling). Nice and weighty and a very good price. Definately worth every cent!

this product is just what I wanted and something I could not find in town. keep up the good work

This is a must have to keep your toaster oven off the counters. I just ordered a new Black & Decker toaster oven, and it is white. This mount is black, so I bought High Temperature spray paint and painted it white. It now matches all my kitchen appliances and the new toaster oven. One draw back of this item is that if you have a heavy coat of laquer on your cabinets, the heat that is given off from this hood can soften the coat of laquer,

Four screws into the bottom of your cabinets, and then slide the toaster in. Couldn't be simpler. The included template blows like they usually do though. Throw the instructions away. Just drill 4 holes in the right spot after a trial fit by hand.

I mention the price, but I received this as a gift. I can't imagine personally spending this much for a product like this. While this is much larger than the largest toaster ovens, it is considerable smaller than a regular oven. Thus, none of our pans fit in this oven. It looks nice, cooks very well and the controls are fairly self-explanatory and functional. However, I'm still not sure who this product is intended for. If you have this much room in your kitchen, you should probably just get a second built-in stove. If you have a small kitchen, you're going to be seriously challenged to find room for this stove.

This is a terrific product. It looks great and performs very well. I have used the rotisserie with great success for turkey and roasts of all kinds. I am also using the 'keep warm' feature to keep plates hot while I finish one last thing before I get the whole meal on the table. Lastly, it is so great for holidays because you can bake a pie or other side and keep your regular oven working on the bird. It heats up quickly and is very easy to use.

We use the DeLonghi Convection Oven every day and think it is great. However, the interior is not just difficult to clean, it is impossible! Also, it is just a little too small. We will definitely purchase another convection oven in the future, but will look for one a little larger with a self-cleaning interior.

I have owned this oven for about three years and it is still being used on a daily basis. It does a terrific job toasting bread and bagels. It cooks a little hot, so I just decrease the usual cooking temperature by 25 degrees. It provides very even heat on the convect setting and on the bake setting. It is perfect size to bake pies. This oven does not accomodate a chicken, or anything large or tall. If you purchase this oven for the use it is intended, it is a great second oven. I now only use my wall oven for special occasions.

I purchased my roaster used but have loved using it so far. Is there a way I can get a hold of a steam rack for it?

I am very pleased with my new Farberware 18-Qt. Roaster. The price was extremely competitive (same or lower than others in this arena). It has a lovely stainless steel outside and black inside (with liner) that is pleasing to the eye. The stainless steel was slightly misleading to me when I heated up for the first time. Watch out, it's too hot to touch and you'll scorch your finger tips like I did. The only other drawback that I could find was the heating dial doesn't show temperature on the low end, so if you're wanting to go lower than 200 degrees, you need to guess and keep turning it off and on manually.

I recently bought a pair of these oven mitts. What can you say about a pair of oven mitts? Plenty. These mitts are wonderful. Big and roomy they cover your hand well and part of your forearm as well. The soft terry interior is a nice touch. The material is nice and thick and you will not feel the hottest of pans. They are washable. Try carrying a hot pan or washing the cheaper mitts that we normally buy. The black and white color blends in well with any decor. I have them hanging on my fridge next to the stove. They are comparable to high priced mitts for sale in specialty kitchen stores at over half the price. A great value. I high recommend them. Now can someone tell me how to bake?

The first machine only toasted the bottom and not the top but customer service said they had their "own" instructions for toasting. Their way led to the edges burning. Then they said that I had to pre-heat the toaster and use the baking pan. I explained to her that toasting a bagel has traditionally been a lot easier. They sent a new model that did not work correctly either. Hamilton Beach said they would refund me up to $38 (I paid $60) but if I sent the receipt they would refer it to a manager to try and get full reimbursement.

Get something else if all you want to do is toast and maybe heat something up once in a while.

I have had many toaster ovens and this by far is the best. I bought it because I have many Hamilton Beach products and have never had any problems. It toasts evenly and it is even great for brownies, cookies even pizza. Money well spent!

I am very pleased with this oven. heats evenly and the temperture controls are excellent. Also is very spacious, will hold a good amount of food. The only thing I wish it had was an extra rack. A large oven like this can handle two racks. The oven itself is very attractive, and looks nice on the counter. The large window is a plus, no need to open the door to check on food. I would highly recommened this oven . For the price you cannot beat it.

After less than a year the plastic 'thingie' that makes it turn on broke, and there is no dealer anywhere in sight (I live in PA).....so i am looking for a new one....

This machine is rated favorably in the consumer magazine, but I am beginning to be sceptical of other reviewers on this site! The one I read below seems to either work for Panasonic or just copies reviews from previous years! Anyway, I checked out reviews elsewhere and this is a prime choice. So far so good with mine.

This microwave defrosts perfectly without cooking the edges, just as other reviewers said it would. This was a big selling point for me, and I am very pleased. The sensor feature is also excellent. You can cook items according to whether they are entrees, side dishes, snacks, etc., without having to enter time and power.

The microwave is the same size, color, and wattage of the one it replaced - some of the reasons I selected it, since I don't have a lot of counter space - but it is much more powerful, and cooks in considerably less time than package instructions advise. The only problem so far is a tiny one - the printed plastic sheet covering the control panel is already getting "bubbly."
