Is this the best one to buy for restaurant quality?

Not sure of Restaurant quality, I've used it just a few times. Very big and bulky, and I have good sized hands, not your typical woman's. The tips are double sewn and therefore not easy to pick up anything. I was a bit disappointed in that, maybe they are all like that. Slippery, not a great grip either. Just my opinion.

I've been using mine for sometime in a shop, with no issues. It woks great.

Everyone's food pallets are different. If you prepare yourself that they aren't going to be like a 5 star restaurant and smaller portions you'll get used to it. I like the bars, which are good for on the go, at work, etc. The Smore's are my favorite. I really enjoy the shakes, especially the cherry pom and banana. The eggs are good and the mixed berry for breakfasts are easy. Cook the eggs though, microwave is 'different'. I also really like the veg chili, the ziti marinara, the soft bake brownies and the banana pudding. There are others, but these are my favorites. It's a good program.

Absolutely! I have two and love them. Check the "customers also bought" at the bottom of the page. You should have two choices.

We went for the 840 Infuser, I read a lot of reviews and having a stand alone grinder of good quality is better all round than having one in the machine.I'm sorry to say I haven't found a grinder that I like, so I grind in the store with a professional grinder, I'm not prepared to pay for a professional grinder (yet).Plus the infuser is idiot proof and it makes great coffee, time after time. I do feel it needs cleaning more often than our last Breville but I'm ok with that.

That is not what I bought it for, I had a sushi chef tell me it was a good knife, but he didn't state whether it was something he would've used or not. I think sushi knives have sharper tips, but don't quote me I know nothing about the art of Sushi.

Yes it is. Thin and VERY sharp, I'd buy these knives in a second. They are soon to be just sold at professional restaurant supply houses. Get them while they are available to the general public. You won't regret it.

We ordered one for Pesach last year and were very unhappy with the barely warm and sometimes cool food that was warmed on the tray for hours. It is beautful and feels like good quality. I am a very picky customer though as a Chef and cooking teacher/kosher website creator. www.fitcarvings.com and www.delciousandkosher.com. It is made out of glass, looks gorgeous and barey peforms. I wish yuo the best...I foudn one locally that loks kind of junky and heats up wonderfully from my Kosher market.

I can only give you my philosophy as to why I purchased this one rather then a less expensive one as this is the only one I have owned. It goes back to my early days in the military as a young 2nd LT. A senior officer, at least to me at the time, said you can buy inexpensive or the best quality furniture you can afford. If you buy inexpensive it will not survive more then one move, however, if you buy quality it will get scratched and nicked but will stand the test of time. I have followed that philosphy ever since. I am not saying the less expensive ones are not good however after reading many reviews I saw that many did not get solid reviews. So I always buy the best I can afford.

This wok isnt very deep, I'd get the 16 inch if you are planning on cooking for more than two or doing a lot of vegetables. You need the room so the food sheds moisture/steam and doesn't get soggy. The Peking style with the loop handles is good for using with a chaun to stir the food, on this kind you toss the food against the back of a ladle or hoak. Youtube has lots of videos demonstrating the difference. Look for the restaurant videos to see the technique. To tell you the truth my 22" Peking wok gets the most use unless I'm doing separate dishes or cooking for two, I thought it would be too big but it wasn't.

Cooks Illustrated rated the Kitchen Aide higher.The word on the latest generation of Cuisinarts is NOT that great.You might also look into the French made Magimix. I've heard it is great but I've only seen it in catalogs & it looks like it has a rather LARGE footprint.

The reason I bought it was its high rating. When it comes to kitchen gadgets, I usually go quality over cost. Going cheap tends to lead to burned food or re-buying the gadget. That being said, I've had mine for about 6 years and it has never failed me. Alton did motivate me to buy one, but I did not specifically seek out the model he used.

Honestly, it's your choice. We have a Showtime and I'll tell you it's great. We bought a competitor's rotisserie after our first Showtime broke down (it lasted for years). The competitor's rotisserie cost a lot more and did not cook as well as the Showtime! Whatever Showtime product you choose, you will be happy.

Calphalon has numerous quality sets priced at Good, Better, Best prices. I'm sure Costco is providing a very good set for a GREAT price. Try getting the model #'s to compare the specifics on the internet.

I think Hamilton beach has always been a good brand.Iam very pleased with my mixer..Have used it about 10 times so far and love it...Have made cheese cake about 4 times,and it did good,although I think it does better when cream cheese is soft, and to add 1 pkg. at a time..Have mixed cookie dough and cake batter,and it does wonderful..Iam not disapointed at all.I just couldnt see spending what they want for kitchen aid, and I do think kitchen aid is overrated...read alot of reviews, very happy with the Hamilton Beach...good luck to you
