All Clad Electric Griddle Review

All Clad Electric Griddle
Average Reviews:

I enjoy All-Clad's quality cookware and I have their handsome slow-cooker but I have a passion for griddles and this one doesn't cut it. Non-stick is a non-durable finish. I have All-Clad non-stick and it's worthless after the first year. Non-stick Aluminum is a flimsy deal for $300. I can get a Presto grill like that for $30 which I won't mind tossing in a year or two. For $300, I would expect a griddle to be durable for many years. This one indicates it has "thermostats" but it's not clear whether it has thermostatic control. Most likely it cycles the heat on and off based on a timing switch just like the cheap ones -- but if it doesn't, All-Clad isn't saying because they don't document this griddle on their website at all as of December 2009. Their electrics don't impress me as my slow-cooker boils everything on the low setting (We're at 5000 feet where water boils at about 200F). I have a feeling All-Clad's headed the way of Kitchen-Aide -- once renowned for their mixers and now known for every piece of imported junk you can think of.
A quick look at [...] shows that real thermostatic electric griddles with polished steel plates are a little pricier than All-Clad's mini griddle here. Why would they make world-class pans that nobody in the world would be ashamed to use but down-class their electrics to fit among the junk at the all-import stores?

Wolfgang Puck 6Qt 1350 Watt VersaCooker BESC0020 Review

The VersaCooker is more than just a slow cooker. I love the way I can brown meat and saute vegetables all in the same pot when making soups. I love shellfish and use the VersaCooker to saute shrimp in olive oil with some pesto sauce. Then I add white wine, with lemon zest and a little lemon juice. When finished, I stir in some cooked linguini and serve. It's always delicious.
The VersaCooker has a rack you can place in the pot for steaming/poaching and or roasting. There is just so much you can do with this one appliance, it is truly versatile.
I opted to purchase a refurbished VersaCooker and I'm glad I did. The price was great and the cooker appeared to be brand new.

Crock-Pot SCR503UM 5-Quart Round Manual Slow Cooker With Dipper, Stainless Steel Review

This 5 qt crock pot is a terrible buy. It burns everything on high and on low. It does not burn on warm but takes forever to cook. I would not recommend this product to anyone. It is a waste of money.
