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.

I love my Kaiser 10" tinned steel pan and was hoping to get this size in tinned steel. Unfortunately, though it's advertised as tinned steel, it's aluminum (light weight), hence the 1-star.
If Amazon ever gets this size in tinned steel, I'll be the first in line.

Mountain Woods Pizza Peel Review

Mountain Woods Pizza Peel

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.

Sassafras Pizza Peel Review

Sassafras Pizza Peel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When you purchase this item, make sure you either own or also purchase food-grade mineral oil, designed for conditioning butcher block and other wood kitchen implements. (I learned this by buying the wrong thing first: If the bottle says it's toxic or flammable, this is not the product you want! You can food-grade mineral oil online or possibly at your local grocery store.)
The peel will need to be treated with the oil before use. Don't substitute olive or other edible oils, as they will go rancid. Let the peel absorb all the oil it can (I did a few coats, rubbing it in with a paper towel). Then voila, you have a well-conditioned tool that won't dry out and crack. For the best care, as another reviewer mentioned, you'll want to apply mineral oil after you clean it each time.
This thing is big! My better half came up with a clever way of storing it inside one of our cupboard doors, as it's quite flat; I had thought to store it with the baking sheets, but its handle makes it a bit ungainly.
For the price, it's a great tool, and a little care will go a long way!

Viking Professional 7 -quart Stand Mixer Review

Viking Professional 7 -quart Stand Mixer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After extensive research on the web and through friends' experiences, I decided to opt for this 7-qt mixer. Two other major brands I considered are Hobart and of course, KitchenAid. The DeLonghi mixer comes close to specs and features, but is also marketed under Kenwood and Hamilton Beach. I sure wouldn't want to pay premium price for a Hamilton Beach. The Hobart is a true commercial grade mixer but overkill for the occasional home use, not to mention at lease twice the cost. The KA doesn't have the 1000 wattage or the professional feel like the Viking 7-qt mixer. One thing my wife appreciates about this unit is that it has rear wheels for easy maneuverability around the countertop - the average stand mixer weights over 20 lbs so this feature definitely helps. Although the availability of accessories for this mixer is few, however, I do notice that the included beater, whisk, and dough hook are well-made, stainless steel attachments (not plastic coating over metal). Overall, the Viking mixer is powerful, easy to use, and professionally designed that won't look dated 10 years from now. This mixer must be a joy to work with because my wife's been baking almost every week since we got it. By the way, the stainless gray model one sees on the Viking website is grayer in color - only the bowl, attachments, and the front "Viking" attachment cover are stainless. Highly recommended.

With 1000 watts of power, the Viking professional stand mixers provides enough brawn to knead any dough into submission. But they do have a tender side, with a range of settings delicate enough for even the most sensitive meringue. Designed to meet the needs of a pro, it offers a rugged, all-metal gear transmission. This 7-quart mixer comes with exclusive V-style stainless steel beater, stainless steel whip, stainless steel dough hook, and stainless steel mixing bowl with ergonomic cast-stainless bowl handle. Viking's exclusive easy glide rear wheels make it easy for maneuverability of the entire unit on your countertop. Choose from primary, low and high speeds to mix, blend, whip and knead. With the planetary mixing action in operation, it ensures thorough results. The pop-up head lift locks in both the up and down positions. Exclusive large, easy to control power/speed selector knob. There are numerous attachments available for this unit to increase its multi-tasking capabilities. Fits under standard cabinets.

KitchenAid Black 2-Slot Toaster 4-slice Review

KitchenAid Black 2-Slot Toaster 4-slice
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
KitchenAid hurts its brand name for each day this product is on the market. Here's the good news: The soft rise feature seems to work well for me; toast is easy to remove. The bagel function works well for bagels and hamburger buns. I have to change the darkness setting for different bread types (sandwich slices, buns, bagels, etc.), but I expect that, so it's ok. The digital setting knob is convenient because you don't have to guesstimate the correct setting. The bad news: The thing won't toast consistently. Almost every day, I wake up and load the toaster with two refrigerated bagels (4 sliced halves). It's always a cold start in the morning. I set it to brown on #6. The results range from moderately overdone to no browning at all. There's no excuse for it. As another reviewer has said, it also doesn't cook very evenly with 1 or 3 slices. Evidently, the radiant heat from the opposite side hits only one edge of the single slice and overcooks just that side. If you stick a single slice in the center of the slot, it gets even worse, because both edges will be overdone, while the center is underdone. I have to turn the toaster down one notch if I plan on running a second batch of toast. The Even-Heat System is bogus. I give this toaster an A for effort and an F for execution.

This pizza stone is simply the best. Not only did it help my family create the BEST tasting pizza ever, but it also let's the whole family enjoy the fun. It is large enough for two pizzas at a time, was packaged well, and will be used weekly in our home. Friends and family will be begging you to know where to get this pizza stone. This will bring our backyard entertaining to a whole new level. Turn your "not so gourmet" dad, into a Pizza Grilling Hero with this product. Thanks Red Sky Grilling!!!

Introducing the Grilled Pizza Stone. Changing the way you make pizza at home! Specifically designed for a 22 ½" kettle grill (like a Weber) the Grilled Pizza Stone works great on gas grills too. By taking advantage of your grill's high heat and ability to control natural wood smoke, in combination with the Grilled Pizza Stone's unique shape and material, anyone is able to make great-tasting, wood-smoked, thin-crust pizzas at home. Outdoor grills can reach temperatures up to 1000°F; the Grilled Pizza Stone is designed to perform without cracking at temperatures approaching 2300°F. The Grilled Pizza Stone is not only thicker than conventional oven pizza stones, it is made from an exclusive and unique heat resistant compound. It's ideal for the super high heat conditions in your backyard grill. The unique "D" shape allows for maximum cooking area while allowing enough oxygen to fuel the coals and wood chunk below. Just like an old-world clay or brick oven, the Grilled Pizza Stone's material draws moisture from your pizza's dough as it cooks, resulting in a crispy, crunchy crust. Not only does it crisp the crust, it allows the pizzas to cook long enough without burning so the cheese gets bubbling hot, and your toppings are heated through. The last key element to making authentic old-world style pizza is the wood smoke flavor. When used in conjunction with a hinged grill grate, adding a wood chunk to your grill is a breeze. Introducing smoldering wood to the cooking process enhances the pizza's natural flavor with a subtle, yet distinct old-world style pizza oven taste. Better yet, the technique to grill great pizza couldn't be simpler. Grilling fantastic pizza at home is as easy as grilling a steak. Made in the U.S.A. U.S. Patent Pending. Orders received by 12 noon EST will be shipped same day.

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!

Chicago Metallic Commercial 1-1/2-Pound Loaf Pan Review

Chicago Metallic Commercial 1-1/2-Pound Loaf Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have baked bread for ten years and it is with delight that I cast away my old battered bread pans. These new pans are sturdy enough for a lifetime and the light colored metal surface does not burn the crust. I find this especially important when baking breads with a high sugar content which tend to over-brown. I will never buy dark, non-stick coated pans after using these. The bread does not stick at all when I use just a little oil on the pan and the sharply creased corners do not get all gunked up (as I feared), they just make a beautifully shaped loaf.

These pans make great whole wheat bread. The little slices are just big enough to grab out of the toaster. Great if you are trying to limit your carbs, because you can have two slices for a sandwich, so no martyr factor.
The crusts are always perfect and the kids fight over who gets the heel.
HOWEVER - I've had this in my "save for later" box waiting for them to go down to their "normal" price, and just recently the price has QUADRUPLED !!! They are NOT worth that.
I know I can't put numbers in here, but the price should be in the single digits.

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.

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.
