Viking Range White Stand Mixer 7 Qt. Review

Viking Range White Stand Mixer 7 Qt.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The machine died after 3 months. I am just starting to bake and was enjoying it until I taxed the Viking with bread making - not multiple loaves but just one at a time. It died very silently - no smoke or ozone/burnt motor odor - just quietly died while making cream icing with cream cheese and cream. I hit the reverse and it just started to make a gurgling noise and then was no more.
I called the company - not really the company but a repair facility in Detroit and was told the best they could do was to mail me a FedEx slip and I was responsible for boxing the unit and they would repair it.
When I suggested that they send me a box or another motor unit (I would send the current unit back) I was informed that this was not company policy. When I attempted to call Viking and when I asked to speak to corporate customer service I was directed back to the repair facility in Detroit - this happened over and over.
I mentioned that I bought the unit retail on the website they still insisted that they couldn't help me.
Cooks illustrated rated the Kitchen Aid Professional 600 as their number one choice - the Viking did not even make it into the first three best choices - I strongly agree. The Viking is more expensive and the service is lacking. And more importantly the maching is inferior.
I am considering the Hobart or the Kitchen Aid and I will keep the Viking as backup. When you buy a mixer get it from a department store that offers guarantees that include replacement units. I am going to the Sears website now.

One thousand watts of power and planetary mixing action ensure supremely efficient mixing and beating. Not only can this heavy duty stand mixer knead even the toughest whole grain bread dough into submission, it also has a sufficient range of settings, allowing it to tenderly beat a meringue. Locking pop up heads make clean up snap. A special stirring speed helps prevent flour pouf, and liquid splatter during the initial mixing stage. Max speed is engineered for whipping custards, cream, and meringues - in other words when you want to incorporate maximum air. There are numerous attachments available for this unit to increase its multi-tasking capabilities. If you've become a fan of Viking's reliability, quality and style, no doubt this stand mixer would be a most welcome addition to your kitchen.

Mountain Woods Pizza Peel Review

Mountain Woods Pizza Peel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered three Mountain Woods Pizza Peels to use for making Artisan Bread from a recipe in Mother Earth News. One for myself and two for two friends I had sent the recipe to. One pizzza peel arrived and I worried that a mistake in my order had been made, but soon thereafter the other two arrived. I immediately started using mine for tossing the bread dough into the oven. It works great for the bread--perfect loaves every time. And, of course, I use it for pizza also. It is a lovely piece of wooden craftsmanship. Works well as a cutting board and to make pizza on then toss it into the oven. And the bread, well, need I say more? I feel very professional using my new pizza peel. You will too. Price is economical. Weight is not too heavy, not too light. Size is perfect for my needs. This is a great investment.

Gobel 3-1/2-Inch Brioche Mold, Set of 4, Nonstick Review

Gobel 3-1/2-Inch Brioche Mold, Set of 4, Nonstick
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My brioche simply pulls off easily right after baking, all the time, no exceptions! All I have to do is hold a warm mold (with a towel or oven mitten) upside down and pull on the brioche gently. Note that it is best to remove the brioche from the mold while it is warm or it might stick. After use, it easily cleans by washing with hot water only and drying with a kitchen towel. Its dark brown color promotes even baking. I have aluminum molds and have used tin molds, all I can say is that this Non-Stick bioche mold is so much more a joy to use. This 3-1/2 inch size is perfect for a 2 ounce dough. Depending on how much butter, egg, and sugar you've used, the 2 ounce portion will make a Brioche that's about 200 calories or more.

BlendTec Mix n' Blend II Mixer/Blender - K-tec Mixer / Blender Combo
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the Mix and Blend machine by K-tec over two years ago. I have had at least five if not six replacement machines. I grind my own wheat and bought the machine originally to mix my wheat dough, but the machines keep breaking. K-tec has been very good about replacing the motor bases, but in the end I had to purchase a more expensive dough maker from another company to solve my problem. Basically, I wasted over $300. Don't buy this machine if you think that you want to mix up wheat dough. It just does not hold up. The vital parts are plastic.

Rectangular Proofing Basket 5-1/8" x 13-3/4" Orange Polypropylene Review

Rectangular Proofing Basket 5-1/8 x 13-3/4 Orange Polypropylene
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I decided to give this proofing basket a try instead of the bamboo type. I was concerned that traces of the dough left on the bamboo baskets would have the potential to draw ants.
I highly recommend a proofing basket for the no-knead bread baker for several reasons:
- the wetter dough used in no-knead baking tends to spread quite a bit during proofing and this basket prevents the spreading and produces a better loaf.
- the attractive pattern it creates on the loaf creates more surface area for crust to form.
Very happy with this for baguettes and also the Bread proofing basket round. Size: 7-1/4" diameter. For 1.1 lb. bread. Both perform well for their intended purpose and are washable.
I did end up going to the BakeDeco and ordering the 1.1 lb rectangular bread mold since it is not available on Amazon. It is a better size for us. We still use this one fairly often though since we frequently have the children/grandchildren with us.
This size rectangular basket produces a nice loaf that enables us to have leftover bread that I use to make the fruit puddings in the The Cook's Illustrated How-to-Cook Library: An illustrated step-by-step guide to Foolproof Cooking that was a freebie from Amazon. My hubby enjoys these easy to make puddings ,so this is one of the rare times we want to have leftovers.
These proofing baskets also meet my criteria of multi-functional since they can be used to serve sliced breads ,of course, as well as crackers, chips, cookies, etc. for family get-togethers, potlucks and the like.
BakeDeco is a great seller that always provides quality products and great service!

The proofing basket is used by bread bakers to maintain dough shape during proofing This durable proofing bread basket is PP, hygienic, food safe, and easy to clean because there are no seams or splits in the basket The basket features a rippled pattern which in turn causes an imprint on the dough that is traditional for baked bread and increases surface area for crusting. The proofing basket is dishwasher proof and stackable Not for baking

Mountain Woods Large Pizza Peel Review

Mountain Woods Large Pizza Peel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I picked this peel because it was larger than others I was looking at and it was made of hardwood. I wanted to use it as a peel and as a cutting board and this peel fills the bill nicely. When I make bread, I put a little corn meal on the peel and shape my round dough and let it rise right on the peel. When the oven is ready, I slide the bread right off the peel onto a hot pizza stone in the oven and let the bread bake for 30 minutes. Because the peel has a slanted/sharp edge on the front, I can slide it under the bread and bring it back out of the oven when it is done. It sits on the peel to cool and then I cut it right on the peel and enjoy fresh home made bread.
This is my main use of the peel. I haven't really used it for pizza as my main use is a cutting board and home made bread utility. It is of high quality and has a good price. I would recommend this peel as a gift or for your own use around the kitchen. It is larger than most peels, so be sure you have a place to store it out of the way when not using.

Serve and slice in classic style. Pizza lovers can easily transfer hot pizza from the pan, baking stone or box to the round server because the leading edge opposite the handle is beveled.

The Breadman Pro 875 is excellent. We make most of our bread, rolls, pizza crust and more in it --gets used almost every day. HOWEVER, the paddle has gone missing, and I have just spent the last hour searching high and low for the replacement part, which evidently is not available from any source uncluding the manufacturer. Very frustrating end to an otherwise fantastic machine.

Only downside, it takes a few extra minutes of baking time due to the light color. Otherwise, just apply a little oil and it releases the baked goods better than the so called "Nonstick" pans that I have, for less than half the price. Hope this helps.
PS: update a couple of years later... this pan did not last long, in fact it started rusting shortly after I wrote the initial review and we had no choice but to throw it out. Should have updated sooner, sorry...

These white square sided plates are a nice addition to my "china" closet. I have a lovely set of Corelle square sided plates but they only come in luncheon and dinner size... I needed a bread/dessert plate that would complement my Corelle and these are a happy compromise!! They have the weight of the Corelle, not heavy like stoneware, and are delicate enough to look good on the table yet study enough to stand a little banging around!

EXO Limited Edition Super Peel in Solid Cherry Review

EXO Limited Edition Super Peel in Solid Cherry
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great pizza, bread or take a hot thing out of the oven on an even surface peel! This one is particularly nice in SOLID CHERRY, not necessary; but PRUDY! The guard rail is handy for those just getting the hang of the push,pull-- so one doesn't accidently burn the back of the hand with the object moving too far forward on the peel, ouch, I didn't need that! The shorter handle with angular bottom is a matter of preference and I'll admit, these features make it easier to store in most kitchens. For a nice price, treat yourself and your family; the kids and their friends will think it's a hoot and you will have no more burned fingers!
This is not only the best design, it is the perfect size to work on. And do not forget the butcher block oil. Even if you are not showing off the beautifully figured cherry, the oil will keep the peel in working shape for a hundred years.

Works pretty well on "dry" dough like breads and cinnamon rolls. Moister doughs like pastry still require some flour. Cleans up very easily and doesn't slide around at all unless the counter underneath is wet.
Would have given it four stars if it was about 30% cheaper. If it truly was nonstick with every dough I would have given it five stars even at the current price.
