OXO Good Grips Measuring Spoons Stainless Steel

Riedel Magnum Cabernet Decanter

>>> BlackFriday Riedel Magnum Cabernet Decanter

Product Features



  • 64-ounce decanter easily holds 2 bottles of wine

  • Clarifies older red wines displays young wines' color

  • Machine-blown lead-free crystal

  • Good-sized--11 inches high

  • Made in Bavaria by world's premier wine glass maker


Cleaning is quite burdensome for weekly usage. It's a nice looking decanter thin & elegant prone to breakage; for it to retain its understated elegance spotless is a must. Hence upkeep is such a chore. Now & then I would break my Vinum glasses while hand-cleaning or drying them this decanter has presented even a greater challenge.



Unlike wine glasses thinness serves both aestheticism AND functionality; it is purely aesthetic and nothing more when it comes to decanter. Therefore I personally thought the Schott Zwiesel Classico Decanter also German made is a better option for regular usage because on top of being relatively though not quite as thin it's durable due to its titanium content.



Now let's say to add more "oom" to your wine experience you don't mind painstakingly cleaning it afterwards then pricier Riedel decanters the "O" model for one among others are a lot more visually striking.



In short balancing between aestheticism and utility this is a good but not great decanter considering other alternatives. 3.5 stars.

Simply Calphalon Nonstick Hard-Anodized 14-Piece Cookware Set

Simply Calphalon Nonstick Hard-Anodized 14-Piece Cookware Set

>>> BlackFriday Simply Calphalon Nonstick Hard-Anodized 14-Piece Cookware Set

Product Features



  • 14-piece set includes 1- 2- and 4-quart saucepans (each with lids); 12-inch covered omelette pan; 3-quart covered saute pan; 6-1/2-quart covered stockpot; 8- and 10-inch skillets

  • Hard-anodized exterior will not chip or crack; heats fast and evenly

  • 2-layer nonstick surface on all pans for superb food release easy cleaning and extended use

  • Domed tempered glass with silicone handles; dual-riveted cast stainless steel handles with silicone accents

  • Oven safe to 400 degrees F; hand wash; backed by 10-year limited warranty


I was given this set a year and a half ago and so far have had to send back three pieces because of the nonstick finish. I will say I like cooking with the anodized - it heats faster and retains heat well so it is easier to cook with. But the nonstick finish they put on this cookware is terrible. It flakes off and scratches easily. I baby them follow all directions etc. only use silicone or wood utensils. In my opinion the surface should not scratch if you are using an approved utensil. Calphalon has been good about honoring their warranty and have replaced everything I sent back so far but I am getting tired of having to keep sending things back. As money permits I am gradually replacing mine with Le Creuset. I don't know if the higher end Calphalon is better but I can't bring myself to spend the money on it with the experience I've had with this set.
