Customer Reviews of Berndes SignoCast Classic 13-by-8-by-2-1/2-Inch Roast Pan
Customer Rating:  Summary: The Best Truly Non-Stick Pan! Comment: I ordered the Berndes SignoCast Classic 13x8x21/2 Roast Pan because I have a Berndes saucepan that is truly non-stick. I love them both! I love the roast pan because I can use it for all my casserole and roasting needs, and NOTHING sticks, EVER! It's very versatile and since the heat distributes evenly, I can also use it on the stovetop to saute or to cook pancakes and French Toast...so it's like 3 pieces of cookware in one. I only regret that the terra cotta lid was unavailable, as this would make the roasting pan even more of a gem. There's nothing better than Berndes for truly non-stick cookware. Customer Rating: Summary: Watch out, Le Creuset! Just as good and much lighter! Comment: This roasting pan is especially wonderful for roasting all kinds of vegetables. While its size makes it a bit awkward to wash in my smallish kitchen sink, at 3 lbs its light weight makes it doable. I especially like the rivetless interior. In my opinion, this is on par with Le Creuset, which for a comparable item is roughly triple the weight. They are both well made, but filled with food, the larger Le Creuset items can be a challenge to handle. If you have arthritis that affects your hands, you'll especially appreciate the lighter weight. OVERALL, these are the good points: + only three pounds empty + excellent quality cast aluminum is made in Germany and has a track record of almost 30 years + nonstick surface performs very well and reduces amount of fat/oil needed + cleans easily with a nylon net dishcloth, Simple Green or dish detergent after a brief soak + handles are cast as an integral part of the unit + no rivets or other food-catchers inside! + flat bottom can be used on a multitude of cooking surfaces, including gas/electric/induction/halogen burners. POSSIBLE DOWNSIDE: Probably better not to buy this if you plan to put it in the dishwasher and expect it to have a long life. Also, don't use sharp knives. If you use it for something like lasagna, use a nylon utensil to cut and serve. Finally, it's handsome enough to bring to the table--but do protect the surface of the table with a trivet or folded towel.

Choosing Appliance -> Plastic wrap An absolute must with a million and a half uses. But do not buy just any plastic wrap. Go to a restaurant supply store and buy a large roll of restaurant plastic wrap. It sticks much better than the common grocery store plastic wrap and is much cheaper per foot. Choosing Appliance -> Convection Ovens Convection ovens allow you to bake more foods (cookies, muffins, etc.) at once with even browning, but without the need to shift and rotate pans. A convection oven is the same as a conventional oven except a fan is installed in the back interior of the oven. The fan is used to blow and force the heat to circulate in the oven and around the food, thus eliminating the need to rotate and shift pans. In reality, though, even with the most expensive convection ovens, you will still need to rotate your foods, because there will always exist still hot spots in the cavity, because the cavity is small. Don't compare home convection ovens with most commercial convection ovens used by bakers and small food manufacturers, because their commercial ovens are much larger than home ovens and commercial ovens don't have any hot spots and therefore, there's no need to shift and rotate pans.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Cleaning & Maintenance Oven Never use a scouring pad of any sort to remove stubborn stains or soiled areas, since these pads scratch the finish and any future soiled areas won't clean up as well, especially with the self-cleaning models. When the oven is cool to the touch, place a cloth or sponge, dampened with warm to hot tap water, onto the soiled area and allow it to sit, for about ten minutes or so, to help loosen the soil. |
