Norpro 14 Inch x 12 Inch Stainless Steel Cookie Sheet Review

Norpro 14 Inch x 12 Inch Stainless Steel Cookie Sheet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really love these pans - the size is small but that is not really a drawback because I can get 2 of them on one oven rack, so they really give me more flexibility than a larger pan. They still look brand new after about 6 months of use and clean up so easily! I avoid "nonstick" coatings as they always end up peeling off and I am not convinced they are safe, especially peeling, and sometimes you have to live with some sticking that way. But with a light greasing, cookies slide right off these pans even without that yukky teflon coating that so many cookie pans have. Definitely a winner!

Canape Bread Molds Review

Canape Bread Molds
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have to admit I was a little skeptical about using these, so when I finally did, I was pleasantly surprised. The breads came out of the molds very easily, and had a very nice, even light golden color all the way around and in every nook & cranny. The bread sliced up in perfect, thin little slices for canapes, with a tight crumb and virtually no crust.
My only major complaint is with the recipe on the box. First, there's no measurement for salt (but the instructions call for it); and in the end, the dough did not completely fill the molds, in the rising or baking. Consequently, when I removed the breads from the molds, 3/4 of each loaf was perfectly shaped, then tapered down to a narrow rounded end which had not risen to fill the mold. Next time, I'm going to try my own bread recipe.
The only other problem is that while the end caps come off easily enough, they are pretty difficult to put on (round caps for star, flower, & heart-shaped molds). This also enables to the molds to roll around on the baking sheet. It would have been better if they formed the end caps in the same shapes as the molds.
Otherwise, I was very pleased with these bread molds and can see myself using them often.

This is a high quality pan, with a nice heavy weight to it - not at all flimsy. I wanted to get one like my mom's, and this turned out to be less expensive, but a much better quality and heavier weight. I bought 2 of these, along with 2 of the smaller cookie sheets as part of Amazon's 4 for 3 promotion, and it only came to about $30! That is an incredible deal for stainless steel pans of this quality. I would absolutely recommend these.

I usually bake several loaves of homemade bread every week. This kind of a pan is wonderful to use. It cleans up great. The stainless steel is very forgiving if you leave it in the oven a little too long. I have used these kinds of pans for years and they hold up well with a lot of use. I would recommend this product.

Can't do much better than this -- Cuisinart rarely disappoints in terms of looks or usability. In fact, this non-stick baking pan is downright handsome in a bakery sort of way. A really good size for general use.

Average Reviews:

Since I have to eat gluten free, I wanted to be able to have decent tasting hot dog buns. For me, store-bought have a sawdust taste and texture.
This pan worked great! I had absolutely tasty hot dog buns for this past Fourth of July. I used a recipe from a Donna Washburn and Heather Butts' Gluten Free cookbook (125 Best Gluten-Free Recipes) for hamburger buns.
The dough rose beautifully in the pan. It is a nice sturdy weight. It has a non-stick surface, yet doesn't appear to be a teflon finish. It washed up easily.
This is a great, quality product!!!

I bought this recently, and was very disappointed with the quality. The workmanship was poor (the metal was uneven) and the rolled edges had small burrs that can catch on your fingers. I am a big fan of stainless steel products, but I would not recommend Norpro in the future.
To make matters worse, when I returned it, the price of return shipping was deducted from the price of the item, so I got burnt twice.

I give 1 star for prompt shipping, and 1 star for the product. But, when I ordered 2 packages, I really expect to get 2 PACKAGES. What I got was 2 wadded up handfuls of loose bags with rubber bands around them, stuffed unwrapped in a mailer!!! How sanitary is that for food bags? I won't be a repeat customer.

Best Manufacturers Reusable Bread Storage Bag Review

Best Manufacturers Reusable Bread Storage Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this item based on a review at cooksillustrated-dot-com (search for keyword "retrogradation" if you want to know more). Cooksillustrated thought this product was the best of the lot they tested and said it'd keep homemade bread crusts crisp and the loaf fresh for up to three days. The claim that crusts would stay crisp especially interested me.
The bag doesn't work miracles and disappointingly, doesn't keep crusts crisp. Compared to leaving my homemade or store-bought artisanal bread in a leaky plastic box, there was a small but definite improvement in quality on day one after baking/purchasing, but the crusts are definitely not crisp. By day three (just as the cooks illustrated article says) you need to freeze the bread and reheat it.
It's somewhat hard to clean b/c there are all sorts of folds in which crumbs can be trapped. You're supposed to be able to put it in the washing machine or dishwasher. Mine survived the washing machine (in a lingerie bag), but the moisture trapped between the plastic bag and the cloth bag is hard to get rid of (hair dryer time).
If your family is like mine, polishing off your homemade bread within a day or two of baking, this bag will help maintain freshness. I give it 3.5 stars for performance (on day one after baking, 4 stars for freshness, but 0 on the crisp crust promise) and 2 stars for being wildly overpriced (see my image in the customer image gallery).

The Best solution for the kitchen…is the philosophy that led to the pioneering of the Fresh Bread Bag.The Bag keeps bread machine loaves andrustic bakery loaves fresh and fragrant and bagels just the right texture.It is also great for bulk-purchased flour, grains and pasta.Using the Best Fresh Bread Bag is a "Green" solution that reduces dependence on plastic bags, while reducing waste and recycling efforts.A practical solution from the wide easy-access opening to the longer loaf size.When not in use, the bag folds down smaller than a breadbox.Constructed of pre-shrunk and colorfast 7.5-ounce twill cotton/polyester in a natural-color canvas with thick-gauge polyethylene plastic lining for air-tightness.The combined strength of these two layers make the Best Fred Bread Bag reusable for years.Machine washable.

Norpro 370 Bread Slicerand Guide with Crumb Catcher Review

Norpro 370 Bread Slicerand Guide  with Crumb Catcher
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Only two things could be adjusted for me to like this slicer better. 1 - the grooves could be deeper to keep from slicing into the wood. 2 - the guide could be adjustable. Other than that, it is a handy tool to use with baked bread. We use a bread machine that makes a pound and a half loaf. This has really removed the guess work of slicing. The bread should be cooled a little before attempting to slice. We often take bread to functions and using this we now have nice even slices. It is a lot neater using it rather than a plain board, too. All in all, a great kitchen aide.
