Customer Reviews of Cuisipro Roasting Rack
Customer Rating:   Summary: DO NOT BUY! (Unless, of course, you want non-stick coating in your gravy) Comment: Great design, but VERY DANGEROUS. After only one use, I noticed what other reviewers have noticed - the non-stick coating flakes VERY EASILY. And that's with hand-washing, not with dishwasher use. The removable pin is a great design feature, but who cares about that if you have non-stick coating flecks in your gravy? I threw mine away immediately. Customer Rating: Summary: Best rack I have ever used Comment: Best cooking rack I have ever used. And I've used a lot. I threw away all my other ones after I used this one the first time. Can't say much more than that. Customer Rating: Summary: No Mess!! Comment: This product delivered on Thanksgiving! No material flaked on me as other reviewers have shared. It wasn't hard to clean either, but that may be because: A) I gave it a washing before I cooked with it. B) Had lightly brushed olive oil all around my turkey. Even the bottom. So nothing sticked. I also roasted my turkey at 450 for 40 min then turned it down to 350 and continued roasting till done. So the Cuisipro can take a high temperature. It is not dishwasher safe. But again, cleaning it was no big deal. You just pull the pin and it really works. No more digging those huge pronged turkey lifters into the bird, so the juice just leaks everywhere. This worked great! Customer Rating: Summary: Could be much better, potentially dangerous Comment: Due to the size of our turkey this year and the haphazard job of getting turkeys out of the roasting pan all prior years, this item became a major hunt for us (It was sold out everywhere locally). Unfortunately, the rack was less than a good thing. The end result was a burn hazard, "non-stick" coating flakes stuck to the turkey, three hours of cleaning, and a rack that rusted due to the loss of its coating onto the turkey. In detail: The first discovery was that since the roasting pan itself was relatively larger than the rack, it allowed the whole rack to slide around inside the pan, throwing things off balance to a great degree and undoing any light covering (like foil) that spanned the pan. Several foil corrections later and everything went into the oven, slipping around and endangering me with scalds against the oven itself as I had to attempt to right it. I should have taken the sliding as a hint and reconsidered. The danger from putting the item INTO the oven was nothing compared to the hazard of taking it out as it slid around with a now-very-hot turkey inside a now-very-hot pan. The rack performed as advertised for ease of lifting the turkey out of the roasting pan. Removing the center pin proved to be a two-person endeavor, with one person holding both sides of the rack and the second pulling the pin. This is the only thing it did as advertised. We discovered the flaking off of a good portion of the non-stick coating onto the turkey itself to be the next issue. We discovered that the "non-stick" coating really isn't non-stick as being another thing to consider. Cleaning the thing proved to be one of the largest washing challenges I've had to undertake. The rusting out thereafter makes this a one-use product for us. As a caveat, the sliding and burn hazard can be mitigated by having a roasting pan that is much smaller or finding a method to stabilize the rack inside toe roasting pan, however after examination of the tight curve and bow of the rack and potential solutions, my wife and I could come up with nothing for ideas that most reasonable people would care to undertake. The curve and height means that a smaller pan would need to actually have substantial height and/or be small enough to hold the base securely, but not contain the upper portion fully. Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic Comment: This is by far the best online purchase I have ever made. It works perfect, just as advertised. More Reviews The Cuisipro Roast and Serve Rack is an excellent addition to your cooking collection. The removable rack easily transports meat from the roasting pan to the serving tray in one motion without awkward lifters. The non-stick surface makes cleanup quick and easy, and it folds up for compact storage. The rack holds up to a 25lb/11 kg bird or roast and fits 16 x 13-in. rectangular roasting pan. For best care, it is not recommended for dishwasher use. Cuisipro includes a 25-year warranty on all of their products, and guarantee a functional and enduring product. 
Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking. Choosing Appliance -> Spoons Buy stainless spoons (both slotted and non-slotted) which are solid and won't bend no matter how tough the job. Also, buy several high quality wooden spoons for stirring delicate dishes like risotto (the sharp edge of a metal spoon would cut or bruise the rice). Cuisipro Roasting Rack
Useful info -> Self-Cleaning Ovens Store measuring cups, mixing bowls and other items used together in the same place. Duplicate frequently used items like cutting boards, knives and dish towels in each work area. Keep two containers - one at the baking center, the other at the range - for wooden spoons, spatulas and other cooking basics. And try to store every item at its first point of use. Keep the saute pan near the range, and stow pasta pots near the sink. |
