Customer Reviews of Pinzon 9-Piece Stainless-Steel Cocktail Bar Set
Customer Rating:   Summary: Quality not there Comment: Looks good but shaker starting rusting after first use. The bottle opener bends when using. So, I guess it's safe to say, I'm not a satisfied customer. Customer Rating: Summary: Wait for a deal under $50. Comment: I'm writing this review because I want you to know what to expect if you order this. The shipment does not come in a nice retail box with pictures and description of the contents. That probably doesn't matter if you're buying it for yourself, but if you're giving it as a gift (or worse, having it shipped directly to someone else) you should know it's just an ugly brown box with non-fitted loose styrofoam filler. It also does not come with instructions or a product description sheet. Again, it doesn't really matter if it's for you and you know what all the tools are for. The bar set is nice. All the pieces are well made and sturdy. The shaker is a pain the arse to use unless you have really strong hands. Getting the lid off while it's full of booze (without spilling the precious drops of ambrosia) is a real hassle. I almost considered getting the friggin' tool box out and grabbing some pliers. This might not matter to you if you're drowning your sorrows alone... but if you're entertaining and your friends have any class, bracing the shaker between your knees, pulling and twisting at the top till you eyes are about to pop out during a dinner party just so everyone can enjoy a fabulous appletini might be a little embarrassing. So just keep that in mind. I am going to go buy a different shaker put the one that came with this set away 'for emergency use only'... or use it as a vase (I still haven't decided yet). Oh, before I forget, there's one more thing. I don't know if it was because they rattled around so much during shipping or if it's a quality issue but my set arrived with surface scratches and a small spot of rust on one item. If I had paid $99 (today's price 3/19/08) or the $150 list price I'd probably be furious and giving this a 1 star screaming and howling review. But I got the set a week ago for $39.99 so I don't really care about the blemishes. Customer Rating: Summary: fantastic pinzon 9 piece cocktail set Comment: awesome product!! gave this as a gift and the recipient loved it. it looked great and had everything needed to bring that finishing touch to your home bar. Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic Buy Comment: This is one of the best bar sets I found after looking for several others (believe me, there were many many many others!!. Its elegant and low-maintenance. Would definitely recommend. Customer Rating: Summary: Garbage. Avoid at all costs. Comment: This set arrived in a the worst packaged box. It came as a bunch of random pieces all thrown together with broken pieces of Styrofoam. It was as if the bar set had been purchased, poorly repackaged and returned before I got it. But the sad thing is, it was new. I had planned on giving this as a gift, but would have been embarrassed if I had. You can find better quality stuff at Walmart. I wish I had never even considered ordering these products and I'll never by anything from Pinzon again. It's garbage! More Reviews 
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. Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers Added features such as ice making and drinks dispensers can all add to the appeal of certain models. Ice making is an option on many American style fridge-freezers, sometimes available without opening the door, as are cold water dispensers. Zoned models offer several storage areas, all at different temperatures, designed to keep a variety of foods fresh for longer. Most manufacturers now offer adjustable shelf heights and storage units which simplify food storage. Pinzon 9-Piece Stainless-Steel Cocktail Bar Set
