Cuisinart Multiclad is a superior line of cookware - I've been collecting pieces for a while now. I have no complaints about the double boiler (which rests comfortably in a variety of Cuisinart pots, and possibly others.) It works great, has a generous capacity and comfortable handle, and cleans up like a dream.
That said, it's really easy to make your own double boiler at home, using a heavy sauce pan plus a durable glass or steel mixing bowl that rests comfortably on top, never touching the boiling water underneath. If you have all of this equipment, you probably don't need to purchase this piece. If you decide you want a dedicated double boiler, then this is a fine choice.

4 Slice Toaster-Oven-Broiler Review

4 Slice Toaster-Oven-Broiler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This thing is horrible. I got it as a present last Xmas. The rack placement sucks - the lower rack is so near the bottom that whatever you cook on it burns on the bottom. The upper rack is so near the top that whatever you cook on it burns on the top. To add to thi wonderfulness, everything also burns that you place in the center or back of the rack. Buy ANYTHING else.

Convection and bake work fine, if you don't mind waiting a long time for whatever it is you're trying to bake or convect.
Broiler doesn't get hot enough to broil anything.
Toaster is fabulous at burning the edges of your bread to crisp while leaving the rest appearing not to have been toasted at all.
On a more positive note, the door doesn't make any noise when you slam it shut.

Cuisinart RTO-20 Retro Toaster Oven Broiler, brushed stainless and black Review

Cuisinart RTO-20 Retro Toaster Oven Broiler, brushed stainless and black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this toaster oven as a wedding gift, and I feel badly for my friends who bought this in good faith. This toaster oven was a big disappointment. To be fair, it looks nice, takes up little room, and toasts nicely. That's about it for good points.
First among its many problems is the fact that despite being billed as a 4-slice toaster, it fits only 2 slices of regular-sized bread. I guess this is standard, but it was a surprise for us.
Second, the tray is fixed in place. This means not only can it not be moved, but it can not be removed if small items fall between the rungs of the rack.
Third, the rack is placed in such a way that toast can not easily be sild out. Because the wire at the front is higher than the others, you have to grab the item in order to get it out--easy to burn fingers and hands.
Finally, two of the three controls were wobbly on their sliders, right out of the box. Not inspiring, especially for folks like us who make toast many times daily.
It does not seem to have been put together with convenience and durability in mind.

Deni 10400 Quick-n-Easy 10-4-Quart Convection Oven Review

Deni 10400 Quick-n-Easy 10-4-Quart Convection Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Hello all, I have had my Deni oven for about 5 years now and it still works fine ! I have had at least 5 Jetstream Ovens burn out on me over the last 15 years or so,none lasting much over a year ! But I tell you no lie the Jetstream Ovens puts the Deni and the FlavorWave to shame when it comes to cooking things like Air Fried Chicken,pizza and hot dogs ! I did not have to turn my chicken over when I used the Jetstream Ovens because of the high air output of the Jetstream Ovens"4000 RPM fan speed"! But I do have to turn the chicken over when it comes to the low air output of the Deni and FlavorWave ovens!
The Deni and FlavorWave are far more durable then the Jetstream Ovens,but when it comes to cooking,they just can't compete,their air output is way too low !!! The FlavorWave cooks far better then the Deni,on a scale of 1 to ten...10 being the highest I would give the FlavorWave maybe a high 7 to a low 8,and I would give the Deni a five or low 6,but the JetStream Ovens I would give a high 9 or 10 ! I hate the fact that the Jetstream Ovens don't last long,and I wish I could find a durable low priced convection oven with the same high 4000 RPM fan speed of the Jetstream Ovens,but after looking for many years I have had no luck what so ever !
I give the Deni a 4 out of 5 over all rating because I love how durable and reliable it is ! The Deni seems to be the most durable out of the 3 ovens! But as far as cooking goes,it needs a far more powerful fan in it! When I cook pizza in the Deni the top comes out fine but the bottom comes out soft and half uncooked! I have to overcook the top in order to cook the bottom the way I like it! The FlavorWave did a better job with the pizza! On a scale of 1 to ten I would give the Deni a 4 on pizza,the FlavorWave would get a 7 or 8 and the Jetstream would get a 9 or 10! I must warn you that the Jetstream can blow any light weight toppings on the pizza around if you don't put a rack right above the pizza to hold and keep the toppings in place. But to me that's a small price to pay. As far as air fried chicken goes that is where the JetStream Oven blows the Deni and the FlavorWave completely away !
I would rate the Deni a 4, the FlavorWave a 7 and the Jetstream oven a 10 + when it comes to Air Fried Chicken . The FlavorWave gets a 7 because it does a good job on the chicken, its nice and juicy on the inside and the skin is done fairly well . Now when it comes to the Jetstream..not only is the chicken nice and juicy, but the skin is cooked to Perfection!!!! It comes out better then real fried chicken skin,but without all the grease ! I am hooked on the Jetstream oven mostly because of how great of a job it does on cooking Air Fried Chicken !!!
Let me say it again, I hate the durability or lack of durability of the Jetstream ovens, and I and many others wish Nesco would make their ovens to last !
Nesco won't even offer an extended warranty on their Jetstream ovens,so what does that tell you about the quality or lack of durability of the Jetstream ovens ? But it still looks like I have to buy another Jetstream oven if I want the best Air Fried Chicken in town ! I still wish someone would make a high air output convection oven that is durable,so that I could tell Nesco where to go with their great cooking,low durability,falling apart,and cracking into many pieces Jetstream ovens !!!!!!!
As far as the Deni oven goes,I can say it is very very durable,no melting parts,no cracking,no falling apart ! On the other hand,it is only so so when it comes to cooking with its weak low speed fan !
Here's how I rate the 3 ovens on a scale of 1 to ten 10 !
Deni
Durability 10
Cooking5
FlavorWave
Durability 9
Cooking 7 or 8
Jetstream
Durability 3
Cooking 9 or 10

West Bend 74706 Countertop Oven with Rotisserie Attachment Review

West Bend 74706 Countertop Oven with Rotisserie Attachment
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Update: 6/2/2011
This oven is still going strong as of Summer 2011! We've used it almost daily for the last 2+ years and it almost always is used to replace our big oven, especially during the hot days of summer when a big oven heats up the room too much. Not a peep of trouble out of it, it cooks everything just the way we want and quickly (due to convection fan) and we are delighted to see that it is still being sold on Amazon as a current model! Almost tempted to order another one to keep stored for the day this oven in use dies, but, I'm pretty confident, that won't be for a long while. It has passed the test of time and continued use with an A+ rating!Just received our West Bend 74706 and tried it right out. Be advised to wipe it down inside and out for dust and then heat it up empty for about 15 minutes as it may smoke a bit as it heats up for the first time. First to note that it is built extremely solid. I've looked at every oven like this at Costco, WalMart, Sears, etc and not one had the solidity that this one has. The handle on the West Bend is rock solid as is the entire build quality of this model. Many other model's handles flex up and down considerably during use and I question how long they would last. We also like the analog dials rather then digital (and easier to see if you use reading glasses and want to avoid hard-to-read digital displays). Low tech adds up to ease of use and less that can go wrong over time! It also means more $$ went into the rest of the oven design and quality, not into hight tech controls! Also to note, YES!, this is a convection model which allows faster cook times and much more uniform heating across the oven. The oven convection fan and motor do emit a hum of sorts, but, nothing that is loud and annoying. We've baked chicken in it and tried the toaster function as well. Cook times were fast for the boneless chicken and the texture was perfect, still moist and not charred like some smaller ovens can do since the meat, etc., is too darn close to the cooking elements in those smaller models. Convection also allows lower heat output and more heat element cycling (not on 100% of the time) to allow reduced electricity consumption.Toast takes no more time then a normal toaster and browns very uniformly across the oven. The oven's profile is smaller then we expected (a plus for a limited counter spot) and yet it will hold a 12" pizza pan or a 5X9 cook pan. The oven seems well insulated as well and does a great job at holding in the heat where it needs to be. We haven't tried the rotisserie yet, but, the hardware included is like the rest of this oven, well made and solid. With very limited use as of yet, my feeling is that we'll continue to praise this model as we use it more and that it deserves the high ratings most owners gave it. It'll do it all and use only 110V in the process versus that 220V oven you use for a small item that could go in the West Bend instead. It's a keeper!

Delonghi BG24 Perfecto Indoor Grill Review

Delonghi BG24 Perfecto Indoor Grill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this grill about a week ago and I love it. First of all the cooking area is BIG.. and wonderful so that you can really cook. I also love how you can adjust the heat setting depending on what you are cooking instead of like my former George where it was 1 temp was supposed to cook all ( which burnt the outside of thick pieces of meat and chicken breast and left the inside way underdone)I also love how the fat drips down immediatly into the tray. On my George ( a big one) the fat would come sort of off one burger and then run into the other burger and stay there without ever going into the tray thing. Clean up is alot easier than George because I can stick all of it except the temp control into the sink or dishwasher to wash. I also like the lid that keeps the food from drying out while cooking and warm before it is served. I will admit it is not as fast as George but honestly the quality of food I cook is so much better b/c it has been cooked right and not just fast. This grill IMO is much more similar to cooking on an outside grill and the taste is better for it. I highly reccomed this product over it's competition, there is no comparrison! Move over George, YOU GO GRILL!
