Customer Reviews of Chicago Metallic Commercial 6-Piece Bakeware Set
Customer Rating:  Summary: Great Bakeware Comment: America's Test Kitchen highly recommends Chicago Metallic bakeware. I love this set. It is very sturdy without being too heavy. This is perfect for baking as it doesn't burn or over-brown baked good like some non stick bakeware does. Customer Rating: Summary: Save your lungs and protect your brain Comment: One of the few really good sources for all metal baking pans. I am pleased with my purchase. Thank God these pans are not non-stick. As a retired Hazardous Chemical Materials Consultant, I take this opportunity to warn all reading this post of the dangers of non-stick cookware. Unfortunately, the Washington chemical lobby has prevented the banning of non-stick cookware. The company who developed this plastic has been hiding the truth for decades. Above 350 degrees non-stick materials begin to degrade releasing many hazardous chemicals. Some migrate into the food, others are released to the air where they are inhaled. Hydrogen fluoride gas realeased destroys lung tissue causing permanent lung damage. The higher the temperature the more deadly the results. Asthma-like symptons are some of the first symptoms to appear, also flu-like symptoms with headaches, dizziness etc. Over time with each exposure damage can progress to COPD, and in worst cases, Bronchiolitis Obliterans. Other vital organs can also be affected including the liver, kidneys, bladder and brain. Fluorides have an affinity for brain tissue leading to memory loss and dimentia. For the sake of your health and your loved ones avoid Fluoro-polymers used in the food industry. These include cookware, oven coatings, food packaging especially micro-wave meals in plastic containers. Their grease resistant coatings are also fluoropolymers. Customer Rating: Summary: industrial strength and my best pans Comment: I was just shocked to see the 2 negative reviews about this set of pans. I bought this commercial line of Chicago Metallic bakeware long time ago and tossed away all my other non-stick stuff. I have loved the result of baking in these pans. One time, I even compare the cookies baked in different brand pans and Chicago Metallic commercial pans easily produced the best-looking cookies with more even browning. Even though this line is not covered with teflon- thank goodness it is not- with a little cooking spray, the baked goods come off the pans normally really well. I even own a pullman bread (pain de mie) pan of this line, my perfect long squarish loaf falls out everytime without leaving anything behind. It's my newest addition to my bakeware and I just love it. This line is endorsed by King Arthur Flour company as pans for serious or professional bakers. Unless people get defective products, this absolutely does not deserve any poor rating. Customer Rating:  Summary: Horrible. Don't purchase this set. Comment: After one trip through the dishwasher two of the pans are already substantially rusted and had to be thrown out (the product description says that these pans won't rust but that is obviously not true). The 13 x 9 cake pan and the loaf pan both have huge deep gaps in the corners that will make cleaning impossible. I don't know how long the final two pans will last since the others are already bad. Don't waste your money on this set. For shame on Amazon for selling such a poor quality item. Customer Rating: Summary: okay set Comment: This set is nothing special, not as heavy as what I had hoped. I bought a Hoffritz set from Costco a few years back and that set is much heavier and nicer for around the same money. The large flat baking sheet is nice enough, it is a little thicker than the others for some reason. All have rolled edges. I bought my set on the gold deal for $34.99 with a free Kaiser blending spoon thrown in. Would be an okay starter set for newlywed but it is typical China stuff. More Reviews 
Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers By law manufacturers must disclose the energy efficiency of their appliances, rated A to G. These are usually displayed prominently in showrooms. The better the rating, the more energy efficient the appliance is - good for both the environment and your pocket. Choosing Appliance -> Strainers We recommend 2 strainers for every kitchen. The first is a solid stainless steel colander (one big enough to wash a lot of lettuce at once). The second strainer is a fine mesh conical strainer (called a chinois) which is a must for any serious sauce or stock making. A chinois is an expensive purchase, but with care it will last many years. Chicago Metallic Commercial 6-Piece Bakeware Set
Useful info -> Kitchen Design By custom, the sink is placed beneath a window, both to provide daylight for chores done there and to give one a view outdoors. I suppose the custom derives from the days before dishwashers, when the task of washing up was a tedious affair done by hand. Yet working at a sink with a window is still much more pleasant than working at a sink without one. Designers often place the sink first and lay out the rest of the work triangle from there |
