To set a unique table, use Emile Henry Le Potier dinner plates.

How many times have you sat at someone's table and looked at the same boring dishes? These dinner plates are wonderful and can work with any table setting. I love them.

Emile Henry Coulours' has given us truly wonderful country French dishes, plates, cups, bowls, whatever one needs to set a beautiful, friendly, happy table. It is lovely and well worth having. You will enjoy it, as will those who sit at your table.

I've bought it and given it: simple, elegant for the table with strong clean lines. For your table, you will have something few ever will. As a gift, you will give someone something they may never find. Buy it: you won't regret it.

We have had this dish set for over three years and are very pleased. The dishes are very durable and are still like new after being used everyday. We like the size of the dishes in the set - the dinner plates, salad plates, bowls and mugs hold large portions. They are very easy to take care of i.e., dishwasher and microwave safe. We also like the fact they can be warmed in the oven. We definitely recommend the Emile Henry line.

I couldn't imagine anyone not smiling when
looking at these plates. They are elegant
with a subtle
sense of humor. I loved the first set I
purchased;I am now
ordering a second set as I think they
would be perfect to use for a wine and
cheese party. They would make great salad
or dessert plates as well.

The themes used by Guy Buffett to decorate his plates make entertaining fun and interesting. Not only do these plates serve as functional dishes, but they are great conversation pieces. Attach plate hangers to them and presto--they can be also used as decorative wall hangings. They would add life to any kitchen or dinning area and serve as a great theme base for decorating. They are delightful and if you are a Guy Buffett fan you will love them.

I received a set of four of these plates as a gift and I cannot wait to buy a second set. They are of excellent quality and if you have not seen them in person before you will be delighted by the detail of each picture. Also, each plate is signed and dated (i.e. Guy Buffet 2000). It's a very nice touch.

As far as durability is concerned, they are made of porcelain and are both dishwasher safe and microwave safe! I would recommend them to anyone looking to add a little bit of France to their party or their kitchen for display.

I just got this vacuum. It was missing a wand, the screw, or whatever, that holds the top to the bottom, and the petal that allows you to go to different heights was broken. I also didn't get any instructions, or warantee card.
HOWEVER, I did use it to see if it was as good as all the Amazon reviewers reported. It is!!! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and it sucked up all hair and then some. I only wish that it had come in better condition since my old vacuum is broken, and I really don't want to go without a vacuum for another two weeks.

With 7 cats and 3 dogs in our household we have our share of pet hair and dirt. When the DIRT DEVIL PLATNIUM FORCE vacuum arrived I had just vacuumed with my upright EUREKA. I decided to put the Dirt Devil Platnium Force to a test, it passed with flying colors!!!! I was amazed by how much dust,dirt,pet hair was collected in the dirt cup, even though I had just vacuumed. The carpet was visibly much cleaner after using the Platnium Force .It has teriffic suction, and I love the no bag design and the fact I do not have to worry about belts breaking. I especially love the 32 foot power cord, I can go from room to room with no problem! I also tried in the kitchen on the tile floor and it did a great job there too, it sucks the dirt in , unlike the Eureka that tends to blow it around instead of sucking it up. The fact that it is a reconditioned machine is not at all visible, it looks like a new machine, runs like a new machine and comes with a one year warranty.It is a little heavier than most machines but I find it to be more stable, ( it did not tend to fall over like lighter weight machines I have had). It is a nice looking machine. I feel the price makes it an excellent value. It is easy to remove and empty the dirt cup, and has nifty clips to hold the attachments securely. I have owned Hoover and Eureka vacuums both uprights and canisters , Dirt Devil is by far the best.Dirt Devil has done it again!!

I tend to be one of thoese bachelors who breaks their vacum and every 6 months, and this one has already passed the test. From first use you can tell this Dirt Devil is very powerfull, and when you turn on the brush, WOW!I really doubt I will need to buy a new vacum soon, and the price I got on amazon saved me an arm and leg!

I own this Vornado Air Circulator, and it is the best fan I have ever had. I have it in my bedroom, and it is great to have it on high and feel the air circulating around as you sleep. It's gotten so that I can't sleep without it on. Its a quiet, reliable fan that will serve you well. Extremely powerful, too. Don't underestimate it's size, its a great buy.

and I am very impressed...it has a good hum to it but the noise is nice while sleeping. On high, this thing flaps the covers on the bed. I love lots of air on me when I sleep and I can't keep it on high..too strong. Great fan for any room. Pleased so far.

I have this in my office at work and it provides complete circulation for a small room about 10' x 10'. I have never had it on full speed, except by mistake, as it would blow every paper off the wall and off any surface. It is quiet and reliable. I would buy another one for any space where I need circulation, without hesitation.

I love chicken fajitas and order them when I go out. When I saw this, I knew that I really enjoy it. It is small enough that storing it isn't a problem, even in a small apartment. It is also pretty affordable, whether you get it for yourself, give it as a gift or receive it as a gift.

A word of caution: the sizzler is going to be hot. I know most people know that, but just in case. :c)

My only suggestion is to let the sizzler soak in some warm, soapy water so you don't have to scrub it.

Feel like a professional fajita chef with this restaurant-style fajita pans, complete with matching trivet. Makes a great presentation when you bring the sizzling pan to the table. Sturdy cast iron will last forever, and the price is certainly right.

This little plan packs a big punch. We use it to cook fajitas, tortillas, scrambled eggs, pancakes, anything that needs even heat and a flat surface. The pan handles well, and is light enough for easy one-handed cooking. Let it season and it will last a life time!

This IS a kitchen essential. I have two. This is the pot you grab for every little thing: heating up a can of soup, frozen veggies, straining gravy in to, anything. This and the next size up, are musts in every kitchen. Cleans easily and stays nice and shiny. I got all of mine years ago for a wedding present and it was my favorite present and still is, I use them always. I have since acquired Le Creuset and All-Clad, and I love them too, but THESE are the tried and true pots you don't have to think about damaging or how do I clean it, or will I scratch it. Good buy for the money too.

This has got to be the deal of the century, and not only that, these pans will last you almost that long! My mother has had a set for 35 years, and I've had mine for 5. Nearly indestructible, dishwasher safe, good performers on the stovetop, with stay-cool handles! They even look great after all those years!
Keep in mind that because they are mostly stainless steel, with an aluminum bottom, Farberware does not heat up quite as fast as, say, hard-anodized aluminum such as Calphalon, which gourmets prefer. Stainless steel is a poor heat conductor, while aluminum is good and copper is the best. On the plus side, you can't put Calphalon in the dishwasher and Calphalon does not have true stay-cool handles, like Farberware.
Anyway, how often do you buy a gift knowing that it will still be around 20, 30, 40 years from now? By the way, if the pot does have a problem, they come with a Lifetime Warranty.

Farberware 18/10 stainless steel cookware is a good line. I had this cookware at one time, and I can recommend it, especially for use on gas burners. Unlike Calphalon cookware, it can go in the dishwasher. However, to keep the finish gleaming, you might need to scrub the pots and pans frequently with cleanser and scouring pads. The 1-Quart Saucepan is a kitchen essential.

The knives are sturdy and aren't too heavy for someone with small hands. They are a great buy for the beginning cook.

I own this set with the walnut handles. I love it. It so much easier to cook when you have the proper tools. I have been using these for about 9 months and so far nothing has needed to be sharpened. The only downside is that the walnut handles don't do so great in the dishwasher or the sink. Don't soak them in water.

I bought these as a Christmas present for my parents and have never heard the end of it since! How sharp they are! How complete the set is! How nice and simple the style is... etc., etc.

I actually recieved two of these stockpots as wedding gifts. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this Farberware line really is. I refuse to use anything else! The 8 qt. stockpot is great - not too big, not too small. It's oven safe, heats evenly and helps to create wonderful stews. I have no doubt that this pot will last forever!

This is a great pot. The heavy bottom provides very even heat. Nice shiny stainless steel on the outside stays pretty.

This is absolutely the best cookware i've ever had!!..brown it on the stove top, finish it in the oven....no need for foil or to change it to a casserole because it's all oven safe!!!..my only problem is i have been looking for the 8 qt pasta insert that was mentioned in my millenium brochure, and i can't find it...i need help.. i n-e-e-d the pasta insert!!
