HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - WINNER, STAINLESS-STEEL BOWLS

Vollrath Economy Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls

The broad, shallow shape of these inexpensive bowls put food within easy reach and allowed for wide turns of a spatula. these were also the lightest bowls in the lineup—the combined weight of all three that we tested was less than 1 1/2 pounds— allowing us to comfortably lift, scrape, and pour.

RECOMMENDED

Cuisinart Set of 3 Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls with Lids

Though their relatively tall and narrow build made it a little challenging for shorter testers to access their contents, these bowls were lightweight and sported a generous rim—features that made them easy to grasp and hold while we scraped them clean.

NOT RECOMMENDED

OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl Set

Apart from having wide rims, these bowls were not user-friendly—and certainly not worth the high price. Their small, Santoprene-coated bases caused them to spin and almost tip over as we mixed. Plus, the company does not recommend using them in a double boiler, lest the exterior plastic coating come in contact with the pot and overheat.

From America's Test Kitchen Season 14: Spiced-Up Cuban Cuisine

  • Testing notes with video



    WINNER

    Rated as HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    La Mexicana Tortilladora de Madera Barnizada/Mesquite Tortilla Press - $64.95

    > By far the largest press, this wooden behemoth caught the eye of every cook in the kitchen. Lovely appearance aside, this machine was easy to work, though its heavy plates can be a bit intimidating at first. A wooden sliver on the top plate keeps tortillas from getting too thin and also keeps thickness consistent. The 14-inch arm on this press gives great leverage, but it arrives detached and requires some assembly.

    BEST BUY

    Rated as RECOMMENDED

    Imusa Cast Iron Tortilla Press - $23.99

    > This product is lighter and more compact than our winner but still has sufficient heft to make pressing easy. The handle arrives detached, so there is some assembly required (though the instructions are clear and easy to follow). At first, the handle was a bit stiff, but it loosened with use, and the ample surface area kept dough from squeezing out the sides.

    RECOMMENDED

    Norpro Cast Aluminum Tortilla Press - $15.20

    > Compact and lightweight, this press required more finesse when pressing since the user applies all the pressure with little to no help from the weight of the plate. At first it’s easy to under- or overpress the tortillas, but most testers got the hang of it after only a few tries. If you are willing to put up with a bit of a learning curve, this model is a fine choice. It comes preassembled and is easy to store.

    NOT RECOMMENDED

    The Latin Products Plastic Tortilla Press - $13.99

    > Both copies of this model that we tested were warped and produced uneven tortillas. When stacked, these tortillas wobbled, with their centers clearly thicker than the sides and ranging from 0.82 to 3.01 millimeters thick across a single tortilla. While this product was easy to use and came preassembled, the poor quality of the tortillas canceled out any redeeming qualities.

TESTING NOTES

WINNER
Rated as RECOMMENDED:


  • Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Steel Roasting Pan with Rack - $119.95

    > This heavy, sturdy pan features good handles and an efficient, gently flared interior shape, making it especially easy to stir and deglaze. It was also the best at browning. Comes with sturdy nonstick U-rack.

    Three others were also rated as RECOMMENDED:

  • Cuisinart Chef's Classic Roasting Pan - $79.95

    > Very good on the stovetop, but testers saw some uneven browning in the pork loin test. Excellent handles, good heft, and an overall solid feel were more than enough to overcome that small demerit. Comes with useful V-rack.

    Amazon Link

  • KitchenAid Gourmet Distinctions Roasting Pan with Rack - $49.95

    > This pan shined brightest in the potato test, but buckled a bit on the stovetop with both the turkey drippings and the pork loin. It has some of the winning attributes of two pans above, but wasn't quite in their class for heft and performance. Comes with U-rack that has awkward hinged handles.

    Amazon Link

  • Granite Ware Oval Roasting Pan - $15.70

    > Very fast, even, deep browning on the potatoes, but this pan's thin bottom made it highly temperamental on the stovetop. Also, testers found the raised, patterned bottom to be problematic when deglazing. No rack included.

Review Notes with video!

NOTE: They baked a cheesecake in a water bath with EVERY pan, and tinted the water green to see if they leaked. EVERY model leaked, so they were all reviewed based on their other features.



Winner - Frieling Handle-It 9-Inch Glass Bottom Springform Pan - $50
This pricey pan may not be perfect—like the other models, its seal isn’t leakproof—but it boasts plenty of features that make it our two-time favorite: evenly browned results; near flawless release; a glass bottom that helps us monitor browning; helper handles; and sturdy, dishwasher-safe parts.
