Most frequently used piece of cookware, January 31, 2010

My mother gave me this Dutch oven when we were married in 1953. It is the most used pot in my kitchen and believe me with 9 children I fried bacon, browned hamburger, oven cooked roasts, made spaghetti sauce etc. It is a favorite kitchen shower gift!

Does not compare with Wagner Magnalite, February 24, 2006

Missy E (New Orleans, LA) -

This review is from: Magnalite Classic 5-Quart Dutch Oven with Rack (Kitchen)

The lid does not fit tightly on the pot. The Wagner Magnalite Dutch oven tops are so tight they create almost a vacuum, lessening cooking time. This product is far less than expected. I'm very disappointed in the product.

Love this pot!, May 19, 2007

Best Dutch over I've ever owned! Perfect for chili, spaghetti sauce, pot roast, and soups of any kind! If you put it in the dishwasher (I do), be sure to season the pan each time you use it for the first year, after that, it's "dishwasher safe."

This review is from: Tea Kettle 3qt

I purchased this tea pot to place on top of my wood stove. Pretty simple, seems to do the trick and keep moisture in the air. Very Heavy duty!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Tea Kettle 3qt

After about a week of use, it sprung a leak on my stove and overnight the whole top of the stove was covered with rusty water. I am in the process of contacting Amazon for a refund.

Buyer Beware - Tea Kettle, February 27, 2008

GaronT -

This review is from: Tea Kettle 3qt

Item is not suitable for use with a wood stove as purchased. Paint is not heat compatible and burns. Voids in the casting were filled with some kind of filler. Burned and melted paint had to be cleaned off stove. Entire pot needed to be sandblasted and properly finished with heat resistant stove paint.

Awesome trivet, April 13, 2007

A. Summers (Sevierville, TN USA) -

This review is from: Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 8-Inch Cast-Iron Meat Rack/Trivet (Kitchen)

Love this trivet! It is perfect for use in my Lodge Logic 5 Qt Double Dutch Oven and Casserole with Skillet cover set, 10.25 inch in diameterdutch oven. They are a very esential pair in my kitchen. My food is so much better now and healthy with the trivet to have the drippings - drip away - from the food!!! Love it!!! Can't beat the price either. remember wash with hot water and scrub brush only (no soap) and rub some spray pam on it before putting up.

I use this trivet over my gas stove burners or barbeque to heat tortillas like my grandmother used too. Also works great to fire roast chiles and peppers for salsa.

Another multi-tasker, January 7, 2008

Joe Bob "Barefoot Okie in FL" -

This review is from: Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 8-Inch Cast-Iron Meat Rack/Trivet (Kitchen)

First of all - it's Lodge. It's cast iron. It's American. These are all good things.

But I had to chuckle at a couple of the applications the other reviewers had for this handy little item. This isn't one of the first kitchen implements that you might put on your wish list, but it's surprisingly versatile.

Yes, you can put it in the bottom of your dutch oven, put your meat on top and let the fat drain. Yes, it's obviously a trivet. But I've also used it as a meat press - yeah, Lodge makes a couple of presses, and one of these days... but in the meantime, flip at upside down on your bacon and it works fine.

I've also used it as a grilled sandwich press. Put it on a medium burner, toss your sandwich in your skillet, or griddle, then (with tongs or welding gloves) plop this little trivet on top of your sandwich. A couple of experiments is all it takes to get the right amount of heat to brown the top of your sandwich. If you need more weight, put some water in a saucepan and set it on the trivet - the "legs" on the trivet keep the saucepan from cooling the trivet and your sandwich is nicely smushed.

But the weirdest use of all time? Olive pitter. No, I'm not kidding. I was making a salad the other night, and I wanted to chop some black olives into it. I grabbed a can of olives and opened it, only to discover that my wife had bought un-pitted olives. I hate pitting olives, but I started in, when my eye was caught by this little trivet and all those interesting holes. I grabbed the trivet, put an olive on end over one of the small holes and pushed with my thumb - the pit jumped through the hole and left the meat on the other side. I grabbed a bowl, put the trivet on top and went through that can of olives in no time. Hint - the holes are beveled, and the olives sit very nicely in the bevel, but they don't pit as well - turn the trivet over and use the "flat" side of the hole.

So there you have it. A kitchen gadget with half-a-dozen uses for ten bucks. How can you go wrong?
