I've had this skillet for about two years, and it is the best all-round frying pan I've had. Among other things, I use it for brunch: eggs, bacon, fried bread, fried tomatoes and English bangers. The tomatoes have gradually stained the surface and reduced the non-stick slightly, but it's still great. I also have two Analon Pro skillets, but they don't take the abuse the way the Circulon steel does. The price is a steal, too!

This is a great pan for an awesome price - it cooks very evenly! Not to mention the non-stick part. You'll never have to scrub this pan hard, food and grease comes off easily with a sponge and a little detergent. My Circulon is the only pan I use, and I'd definitely recommend this pan for you too.

Minor issues are that it takes a while for the entire pan to heat since the bottom is thick and it is a bit heavy like other good-quality pans.

My dog "Shadow" gives a 4 paws up rating for "Buddy Wash, Lavender & Mint" doggie shampoo by Cloud Star. Shadow is a big lug of a dog, weighing in at around 125lbs and very furry.He hates bath time, is an outside dog(one wag of his tail would take out the complete contents of my coffee table), so he gets pretty dirty and very smelly.It usually takes a wash, a rinse and a repeat of it all to get him clean. So to say bath time for Shadow is a major project is well..putting it mildly. Buddy Wash is the first pet shampoo I've tried that only took one washing to have him looking and smelling good! It left his fur soft and fluffy and looking like the handsome devil he really is!

This shampoo is gentle, soap free, uses only natural herbs and oils, and works into a really good lather. It took a while to rinse it all out, but absolutely worth it for such great results.This 19oz. bottle should last quite a while, it didn't take much in comparison to others I've tried.

A great way to keep your buddy (and the enviroment) clean and smelling good!....Have fun....Laurie

This dog shampoo is the best I've tried so far. It smells really good and rinses clean. My dog was very soft and smelled good after his bath!

There is nothing wrong with this kettle. If you want one where the paint won't fall off, don't get one with paint. There are plenty of similarly priced stainless steel kettles by Copco. I have dropped it, burned it, and scraped it alond my old stove-top. The paint is fine. The body is fine. And if you think the whistle doesn't work, then you are either not waiting until the water is REALLY boiling, or you are over-filling it. Tea kettle whistles are not designed to go off until the water boils.

When shopping for a new kettle I was drawn to an old, reliable company- Farberware, and right now Amazon has an attractive Stainless Steel model w/gold trim that on sale, however...then I stumbled upon this one and couldn't resist!!!
I fell head over heels for the rich deep red color (Berry Red model), and hoped it would stand up to all the normal requirements of a stove-top kettle - and it certainly does. What's great about this kettle?:
- Pleasing to the eye~ If you like the your color choice on sceen, just wait till it arrives home. The enamel finish is deep & high lustre in color. The shiney s.s. handle & spout w/ black grips just offsets the color even more to make this kettle a gem on your stove top.
- Form covered- here's function too ~ like the other reviewer stated - its all you want in a teakettle-
**The whistle is pleasant; loud enough to hear a few rooms away but not ear-piercing like others reviewed for other kettles.
**The lid, thank the teakettle gods, does not come off when pouring, so steam doesn't leak out with the lid on, or come streaming out to burn your hand in the middle of pouring because the lid fell off, which is what happened to me with my old kettle. (A fancy [price] S.S model w/blue handle & red bird whistle)
It sits securely in its base for the tilt time, yet opens easily for clean-up. Plus its a pretty contrast in the stainless, against the enamel body.
**The pour spout has a S.S. lever w/a little black handle pull, which pulls back easily for pouring, & if filling many cups, stays in the open-back position. - This does mean you must push it shut when done. If pulled back slightly, it does gently close on its own.
- Any Negatives: Not really because the ones I'd list, are now common to most kettles, but they are:
** A potholder should be used to pick up the just boiled kettle, however I've read in other model reviews that claim a "stay cool" handle that isn't realistic for them either, so I don't expect that to be the case with any kettle anyway.
** In the instructions, like w/all the other kettle reviews I've read - it suggests wiping it dry after use to avoid rust, but I think the instructions were written for several models, including S.S. kettles which are usually the ones they warn might rust, so I don't believe it applies to this one w/a black enamel inside coating anyway, but I didn't want anyone surprised by that note.
**Overall if you want a functional kettle with a beautiful jewel-tone finish, then this one will do the job as well as any other model but with this one you just might want to sit and watch the water boil!

...it was worth it, because it's great... ok, we're just talking about a teakettle, but still, it's really easy to mantain (use, serve & clean), it whistles when the waten is boiling and flips four pouring... and it has a great looking style... wich, in my opinion, is all you need from a teakettle!

If you're looking for "the" teakettle to use often and in any ocation... this is the one.

I love all of the Corelle Callaway pieces..my only problem is that I can't seem to find the matching Callaway knives, forks and spoons. Can anyone help??

I got this set as a gift from the in-laws after I got married - that was 6 years ago. So far the set looks like new though we use the plates and glasses everyday.

We did purchase four more plates, cereal bowls and glasses our of necessity. I also have the cassarole dishes, stoneware bowls, salt and pepper shaker, spoon rest, tea kettle, cannister set, cookie jar, baking pans, dinner platter and the larger bowls. Oh and I almost forgot I also have the ramekins too as well as the sugar bowl, creamer, hot plate, stove burner covers and napkin holder. This design is simple yet attractive and the quality of the dishes is very good. My mother still has a set of corelle dishes from about 20 years ago and they are still in great shape.

This pattern is getting harder to find (believe me I would know) so if you are lookng for a motif for your kitchen and this catches you eye get it you won't be sorry!

Save individual meals in fridge or freezer. Bowls and lids are easy to clean, great for "meals to go", dips and small party dishes. French white bowls are a standard and look great on any table. The lids are very secure and leak proof.

I love these CorningWare Pop-Ins for microwaving frozen vegetables or reheating left-overs. They are a great size for taking lunch to work and keep food fresh in the refrigerator. This item is a must for those who want less clean up since you can store food well with the tight sealing lids.

This is the best corning ware ever made, they stack well, very durable. I had 12 different corning or pyrex casseroles and always went for this shape first. There was a tragidy at our house this past year both my large dishes, 4 litre and a larger one, broke. I thought oh well I'll just go down town and buy another one in any pattern as long as it is the same size. Ya right they no longer make this product!!! I can't find anything near the large size anywhere in our area,...

Excellent, well-made, durable and perfectly shaped. I've found the square-rounded shape great for cupboard storage and well fitted for the refrigerator.
We received several sets of these casserole dishes as wedding gifts and still have them 27 years into our marriage! We use them all the time, mostly for reheating in the microwave and refrigerator storage.
Unfortunately, the glass covers have dwindled down to just one in our kitchen and we want to get replacements. Corningware really needs to bring back this design and make it available for the next generation.
With such terrific quality and shape, I can't imagine why they would mess with a perfect design.

I purchased this product because I was tired of throwing my pans away (let's face it, rust is not attractive!). I love to bake bread and this pan is up to the challenge! It looks as good today as it did when I got it, cleans up like a dream! I liked it so much I bought two!

This bread pan is the perfect pan for making bread. It will never tarnish and look like it should be thrown away. With only two in our family now, I can use it for small cas serole dishes. It has a convenient lid to cover and take to the picnic or potluck. When I saw it I just knew the price was right.

I am very happy with my Corningware Just White set. Amazon had it at a great price, so it was a tremendous value and I prefer it over my glass pyrex pans.

I have made all kinds of casseroles in them and I find that with a good soak they return to a "brand new" look in shine and luster time after time.

I really enjoyed this cook ware set, particularly the fact that it had six pieces. I was thrilled to find a six piece set for such a great price. I had found a similar one in black but it simply didn't go with the kitchen, you can imagine my glee when I found this white set. Thanks a bunch Corningware, this is just what I need!!!

This 101/4 everyday pan was much better than I expected. I've shopped all the stores locally to see up close what was out there. It was all so expensive I was about to give up until I spotted the sale at Amazon. I ordered it thinking that at this price, what could I lose. The pan is amazing. Every bit as good as anything out there. I immediately ordered another one while it was still on sale. Get it...you won't be sorry.

I love this pan.

It is the perfect size for cooking for one or two people. It heats beautifully and it's a joy to peer down into the food and see that silver shine gleaming back.

I wish I had a proper potrack to show it off!
