Kitchen Reviews

Managed to get these at Marshall's for MUCH less. Keeps the edge, nice feel for the hand - large or small. Cuts anything as easily as butter.

In short -- these are the best knives I've ever used.

They are very high quality, very comfortable to use (as are OXO products in gerneral) and are made of very fine steel. When you put it all together they just work great.

Just received the set and love these knives. For the price they are well worth it. Compare them to other names and you'll see you get 6 knives instead of 4 and the maple block for considerabely less. The only thing you dont get is lesser quality. These knives are very sharp, and from experience with their other knives they keep a very sharp edge over time. I would highly reccommend them for someone looking for a high quality low price steak knife set.

(1) This is definitely 'regular-size' flatware, NOT oversize/ European. We have several very old dish sets and actually needed the regular size so it wouldn't overwhelm them.

(2) Satin handle is a very soft gentle matte finish, wonderful contrast with the upper-handle polished raised design. Incredibly, this pattern goes with all our tableware, from the delicate hand-painted 'Chinese Tree' English china to a wildly-colored Villeroy & Boch to plain white Bauhaus-style stoneware.

(3) Although hub & I prefer 18/10 to 18/8 simply because it's even more durable, and although we would've liked a slightly heavier 'feel' and slightly thicker look -- believe me, Satin Accent is TOUGH STUFF. Since we rarely use teaspoons, I thought I'd 'sacrifice' one. Tried to bend by hand holding bowl and handle. Nope. Finally put the bowl under one foot and pulled up on the handle. Bent some but hurt my hand more than it hurt the spoon.

(4) If you prefer 18/10, and if you do want the oversize Euro style, and if you need it to go with many varied tableware patterns just like Satin Accent does -- right here at Amazon.com, try either Oneida Cadence or Oneida Satin Garnet. One of them would have been our second choice if Satin Accent hadn't been as great as it is for us.

I registered for this item one year ago for my wedding from somewhere else. I only received one 4 place setting set. I was in need of another set and I found it here on Amazon.com. What a great value! It was less here for a 8 place setting set than my original 4 place setting set was. It also came with serving spoons ... Congrats to Amazon.com! This is great everyday flatware. They hold up well and are nice enough to use for all occasions. They are not flimsy and do not bend like cheap flatware. Definitely a great value!

I received this set of Flatware as a wedding gift three years ago, and I love it as much now as I did when I first saw it. The "satin" look hasn't faded, or rubbed. I receive compliments on my set every time I have guests for a meal.

Oneida has made another great flatware set. This set is well made and looks nice on the table I would highly recommend this set to anyone.

Purchased this Oneida flatware and couldn't be more pleased! It has a luxurious, heavy feel and large proportioned pieces. The caddy tray is nicer than I expected and I'm storing the flatware in it. I recommend this to anyone looking for a truly delightful, large scaled, set of stainless! It shines!

We've been looking to replace our stainless for a few years now, patiently waiting for the right set that balanced style, features, durability and value. It was tough as most of the sets we liked were very expensive - $20+ per place setting. We thought about a Mikasa set that is made in Korea, but we were not sold on the style and they were made of 18/8 steel; a lesser grade of stainless.

We came across this set of Oneida at a local department store for $150 for the 12 piece setting. We agreed that it was the set we were looking for but we came home to see if it was available at amazon.com.

We were delighted to find it at 1/3 lower cost - what a great buy! They arrived today and we could not be happier. 18/10 (same as the $20+ sets) and the same weight as well.

GREAT FIND - you'll love them.

I got this set 3 years ago at Macy's, and I love it! I get so many compliments when I have guests for dinner. It's very sturdy, not like those cheapo brands. My boyfriend lost 6 of my forks, so I need to purchase this set as a replacement.

She said it perfectly. This is a sleek but hefty weight service. Very euro-modern, with a lovely deep shine. Substantial. Elegant. I have had mine for two years, and they are beautiful still. I am ordering more.

Very sleek, unusual design. Fits nicely in the hand. The pieces have a solid feel, especially the knives, yet are not at all heavy. Even though the pieces are longer than most flatware, the bowls of the spoons and the prong parts of the forks are on the small side, which is a plus for younger family members. I particularly like the one-piece design, without any joints or grooves where water could leak into the knives or where dirt could get trapped. They seem to be withstanding water spots and retaining their shine nicely.

I ordered this spoon to go with my OXO serving fork. This is a large spoon, and is very heavily constructed. I can't imagine any kitchen activity that this spoon wouldn't be up to. It is very ruggedly made of stainless steel, and best of all, is dishwasher safe, a feature sometimes not present in high end utensils. The only thing that surprised me a bit about this spoon is its length: it is just over 11 inches long, which is somewhat shorter than many competing serving spoons. In my kitchen, this hasn't been a problem, but for some people with extremely deep pots it could come up a bit short.

The highlight of this spoon is unquestionably the handle: it is made largely of stainless for strength and durability, but has wonderful rubberized fins on the sides of the handle to provide for excellent grip. This is an overall excellent spoon, and would recommend it for any kitchen.

Ran it thru dishwasher, left it wet for couple of days, put it in steaming boiling hot water. Spoon held out. Rugged spoon. No issues. 'nuff said.

It was little bigger than I had thought but all around it's a great spoon. The spoon is well designed. It is comfortable to use and very sturdy.You can even get hard icecream out of the carton without it bending

IF I COULD GIVE THIS 10 STARS I WOULD!!! I bought this throw because of the prior favorable reviews and boy am I THRILLED!! This is the lightest, fluffiest and warmest throw EVER. I can't say enough great things about it! I just ordered a full-size down blanket from Pacific Coast Down because I was so thrilled with this throw. This item would make a great gift for any age!

This is the best throw I ever purchased!! It is super warm and cozy.
My 4 year old loves cuddling up with it when I read him his bedtime stories.
I also like the fact that it is machine washable.

This down throw is wonderful. We use these year around for sleeping comfort, they are never too hot or too cold. I especially liek this one because it doesnt seem to loose its fill, and the size is great. I have 6 year old twins and toddler blankets were too small, and the large down comfortors drowned them. this is the perfect size, even for adults when a heavy comfortor is just too much, or you want separate blankets due to a partner always stealing the covers!
we have also machine washed ours in a large capacity washer without any problem.

I bought a no name microwave last time around, I am very happy with this one.

This is a great powerful, easy-to-use microwave. I highly recommend it.

Well, I'm no expert on these things, but this microwave seems to do the job pretty damn well by warming/cooking my food quickly, efficiently, and consistently.

I have had no problems at all - it's a breeze to use and has more than enough power for everyday use.

Definitely recommended.

The tongs are excellent quality and work extremely well.

I like these salad tongs especially for the locking position it has. When locked, the tongs stay nicely in the salad bowl, as well as in the drawer when not in use. I like the appearance of the tongs as well.

These salad tongs fits so nicely in a salad bowl because of its easy fold lock. The design is right, the price it right, and makes a nice gift.

I picked these up in a friday sale and its a great value for all 3 tools. I would have paid more for the tongs alone in a regular store. The tongs are solid, have a locking clasp and are dishwasher safe. The separator and baster are made of heavy duty plastic.

A big fan of Pedrini products, even I was pleasantly surprised by the size, quality and craftsmanship of these tools! The tongs alone are worth purchasing this set for. And while many people only think of using a baster and a gravy separator around Thanksgiving, these tools are indispensable all through the year. Use the baster to remove extra liquid from your crock-pot dishes and stews, then reduce/thicken it in a saucepan before returning it to the pot. The gravy separator makes an excellent dispenser for pancake and crepe batter - very easy to control. An excellent set.

I just love the Italians and their products. This roasting set is wonderful. The gravy sep. is heavy weight and works well. The baster is acrylic and unbreakable and the tongs look as good as they work.

I gave these (along with other "fortune cookie" pieces) as a housewarming gift to a young, fun, athletic, and artistic couple who had just purchased their first home. Although I knew they would appreciate any gift (it's the thought that counts), I was hoping to find one that would fit their taste and their needs. Not only were they thankful and appreciative, they exclaimed them to be a "perfect" choice. Their cupboards were emptied, and these became the dishes for everyday, as well as for entertaining. The lettering ("nourish your soul") is soft and muted, and a beautiful statement. The shape of the bowl is contemporary, while the overall look is classic and elegant. The bowls are nicely rounded, are actually shaped like a 'bowl', and are easy to hold. They are large, but not overwhelming. The bowls are "just right", whether you're eating cereal, or soup. The young man, who is known for enjoying his morning cereal, remarked that he loves the size of the bowl. He says that now he's down to 2 bowls of cereal in the morning, instead of his usual 2-1/2 or 3 :o) I have been to their home for dinner, and am so pleased with these dishes that I'm trying to think of an excuse to buy some for myself! Wonderful quality, form, and function, for a great price.

Wow what a great set of dishes, especially for the price. I really didn't expect for it to be such a high quality set, I was just looking for something inexpensive so that I wouldn't have to use grandma's heirloom china everyday (before I bought this that was all I had). And then the box came from Amazon.com (super-fast supersaver shipping, very impressive for a first time buyer), and out came these sturdy, lovely dishes. The raised circle is a perfect place to hold them as you wash them so they don't slip from your hands, the snappy little messages would brighten any day, and they are weighty enough to inspire confidence in even the clumsiest of souls such as myself. The glaze on each and every piece seems stout, flawless and pristine, and the understated yet verbally colorful design is a perfect complement to your gourmet presentations. I would recommend this set to any young or young-at-heart person wanting a cheery, dependable set of everyday dishes, especially the recent school grad needing a starter set that will last without the costly financial investment.

I ordered these bowls for their clever and unique design.
I am very pleased with their size, weight and design. They are wonderful for cereal, pasta, soup - just about anything. They don't have an annoying rim and are deep, heavy, thick and very well made. I highly recommend these bowls for anyone that doesn't like their food spilling out the sides of their dish.
