have a product called E-Cloths, which are microfiber cleaning cloths.

I'm interested in your E-cloths because I have glass interior doors, a
glass topped dining table and 2 two YO grandchildren whose fingers
seem to be attracted to glass and full length mirrors.

I think Woll cookware is butt ugly and way over priced for a non-stick
coated pan one can buy for under $10 that will perform as well as any
non-stick coated pan.

It is NOT a "non-stick coated pan" I would not entertain such in my
kitchen!

I'm sure you should be able to find them down there- I also am very
happy with the general cleaning one. There is also one for stainless...

The only pretty cookware IMO is copper! Have you ever tried De Buyer
Mineral? I like that also...

I'm not sure where to find them. Are they found at Target and/or Home
Depot? I'd like the stainless steel and the granite one too. Google
didn't help me find a local store.

I looked also to see if I could refer you to a place, but Amazon may

We've had a Woll for about 5 years now. It is the most used pan in
the kitchen.

http://myecloth.com/ was what I saw as being recommended, so I'll just
go with that. Thanks. I love the idea! I might as well order the
silver embedded, because it's supposed to fight bacteria between
washings too.

Anyway, thanks for the information. I hadn't heard about it before
you mentioned it.

I realized my microfiber cloths weren't doing as well and read somewhere
that using a clothes dryer sheet when laundering them is Not a good thing.

I've read using a clothes dryer sheet is not good thing for any
laundry. As I understand it, the anti-static mechanism in these
cloths is a form of wax, which melts and is dispersed under heat to
negate the static build-up. Constant use creates a film of wax on
clothing, which in turn causes graying of whites. I quit using them
years ago and don't miss 'em.


OTOH, I also no longer wear no-iron polyester dress pants, which are
capable of creating enough static charge in a single load to pull the
moon out of its orbit!

I've never used a Woll pan but from what I can find on the net it's
butt ass ugly, seems way over priced... and I don't see the point to
that detachable handle.
http://www.amazon.com/Woll-Titanium-.../dp/B002A02IVM
If I wanted a non-stick coated pan (I don't) I can buy one at any
stupidmarket for under $10.

My favorite go-to pan is a 12" SS Farberware (w/ss lid, no stupid
glass lid), no coating and doesn't stick... and I love that's it's 3"
deep, cuts way down on spatter, and deep enough to use as a brazier...
I often use it for stir fry.
http://www.amazon.com/Farberware-Cla.../dp/B000058AKD
Btw, the handle(s) on the Farberware detach too, need an ordinary
phillips screwdriver, but I see no point in removing the handle(s)...
been using this pan for some 40 years and never once thought to remove
the handle(s), not even for cleaning... occasionally I've retightened
them.

LOLOL! Polyester? I didn't know they still sold clothes made out of

I looked at the link and read the description. Apparently the handle
quickly detaches because you can put this "frying pan" in the oven.
Speaking for myself, I wouldn't have much need to do that.

Most things that go into my oven require a much deeper pot/pan unless
I'm broiling. And I sure wouldn't use a pan like that for oven-broiling.

They have perfectly good microfiber cloths at the Dollar Tree store for,
you guessed it, $1.

Never a "leisure suit", but usta wear no-iron beltless dress slacks.
They were poly-something. Hadda have two tractors to pull 'em apart
comin' outta the dryer unless I used those anti-static thingies.

There they are. See? "100% Polyester"! From my shirt n' tie days as
a cubicle commando.

Now wear basically fleece apres ski pants or straight cuff sweat
pants. Basically, pajama bottoms ...and nothing but shorts in the
Summer. Haven't even worn a pair Levis in a cpl yrs. Ya' outta see
my new custom made brick red waffle-pattern fleece pair. Call me

I usta cook chicken breasts by browning them in my SS skillet, then
finishing them in the oven. They came out very moist.

I'm looking at the Woll 11" skillet cuz it'd be great for us. Can
make three 6" pancakes w/o having to set up the griddle. I use an 11"
skillet, now, for cooking Mom's breakfast. Bacon, eggs, pancakes,
etc, but it's a cheapo and the non-stick coating is deteriorating
rapidly. Still, I think I could find a commercial non-stick Wearever
for cheaper.

Yep!
http://tinyurl.com/b62mvhz

....and oven safe, too. I had one of these. They hang in great, for the
price, and are NSF cert.

I've had my Woll pans at least 10 years. The only way I could buy them at
that time was at Home Exhibitions. I have always used metal utensils on
them and because of the removable handles, they have served their time in
the oven too!! They are still good as new My most used one is the big
saute pan with the lid but the big square one is good too, although it is
now a bit heavy for me and I use it mostly in the oven because it holds a
lot.

It's also not recommended to place microfiber cleaning products into
the clothes dryer, it's recomended to hang them to air dry, heat
destroys the microfibers. I use the Bona system microfiber pads to
mop my hardwood floors. I also use microfiber cloths to clean flat
panel TV screens.. it's what the TV manufacturer recommends, and use
only water, no other cleaner... if you use a fabric softener on
microfiber cloths they won't clean, they will streak.

But I said I've owned one. The entire pan/handle is alum. The rubber

I take them back as they belong to the shop. It is a really good idea
on her part as it is much easier for me to sell stuff if I have
personally used it. Another new fave is a Kyocera paring knife, which
is ceramic if you didn't know- that is one sharp knife!

Well, yes, I assumed you took them back. But does she sell *used*
cookware and cooking implements?

if it is like my favorite candy. . . er 'kitchen' shop- they have demo
nights where they use the stuff in the store.

I've never been to one, but I love when they do it as the next time I
go in the sales gal is all excited about some new gadget that I might
not have otherwise given a second look. [my Chef'n lemon squeezer
and Rosle cheese slicer are 2 that come to mind.]

Sure... but does the proprietor later have a used cookware or gadget
sale? That's what I'm asking.

No, they are not resold- they just belong to "the shop"

Mine does not- she puts damaged/returned stuff in a box, and if she
decides not to return them to the manufacturer, we can take whatever
we want. Pretty nice, huh? We also carry the Sodastream machines and
syrups, so when the syrups expire, I can have them to give to the
people I gave Sodastreams to at Xmas.

Do you have the Rosle knife or wire for cutting the cheese? That is a
hard brand to sell as it is quite pricey!

-----------------------------------------------------
Some of the Rosle line is now made in China but it hasn't affected the
price!

It seems to be well made, though. I know my boss tries to sell as much
American made products as possible...

It's becoming difficult! I was looking recently for a Mouli-type food mill
and IIRC, the Rosle one was made in China - I check everything these days
and try to buy US/Canadian or at least European made things. I did find a
"Made in China" label on a Rosle product.
There is a new Kenwood mixer in stores right now. It was a classic
British-made mixer at one time. Now it boasts on the box: "Designed and
Engineered in the UK" . However, in small print on the mixer it says: "Made
in China."

I've got the wire one. It *is* pricey- and just *looks* like it
won't work as well as the 'T' shaped wire slicers.

But it does. It works a whole lot better. It takes less effort, and
the ergonometrics are better [though I was sure they would be worse]
It slices 2 thicknesses without fiddling with 'adjustments' - and it
takes up less room in the drawer. [no place to hang mine]

It slices soft mozzarella or hard asiago with ease.

I managed to break a wire on mine somehow- and got to go back to the
other kind while I waited for a wire from Amazon. [the kitchen shop is
out of the way]. I went right back to the Rosle.
