WMF Taika 53-Piece Flatware Set, Service for 8 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Taika is a great design, beautiful looks if slightly difficult to handle.
However, not all WMF Taika is the same. Some appear to be made in Germany, some in Korea (last purchase in 2003), some in China (last purchase). This latest set comes out of China. Compared to previous parts that I have purchased it is a slightly different design. More clunky, especially on the knives and many small differences. When my wife saw it she said "but they're not the same!".
Bottom line: make sure you look at it live in a store and make sure that you get additional pieces from the same factory.

This WMF Taika 18/10 stainless steel flatware features a contemporary flair and is perfect for either a formal table or for everyday use. Unusual proportions break with our familiar concepts of cutlery. Taika looks as if it has been stretched, extremely slim and graceful (The knife measures 9-1/2 inches in length, while the fork and soup spoon measure 9 inches) The final outcome of this, is the merging of the handle and blade of the knife into one. The formal austerity of the lines is counterbalanced by soft rounded contours at the end of the handle. They give it grace. The proportions are stretched to the extreme, reaching beyond boundaries to establish a link with Asian dining culture. Each piece is highly polished and this unique 53-piece configuration includes eight each: knife, dinner fork, salad fork, dinner spoon, and soup spoon, eight additional espresso spoons, one large salad serving set, one large serving spoon, and one large meat serving fork, plus one cake server.

WMF Perfect Plus 8-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I guess I am rhapsodizing over this pressure cooker but it's the 4th one I've tried and I must say I love it!
We remodeled our kitchen and our new cooktop is an induction model so our old (20+ year) aluminum PC no longer worked for us.
I tried Futuro, Kuhn Rikon and some other brand I don't recall. None was both thick enough to prevent food burning and with a simple and easy to use pressure system.
I cook daily for 6 or more and this cooker is big enough to meet all my needs. In the few days I've had it, I've made risotto - no burning, cheesecake - no cracking, chicken cacciatore and brisket. Every recipe was perfect when done.
Clean up is a snap - remove the handle and rinse under running water. Remove the sealing ring and wash by hand. Toss everything else in the dishwasher.
Did I say I love this pressure cooker? Yes, it's expensive but well worth it!
06/27/2010 Edited to add that the pressure release valve with the little ball in it cracked. I called WMF America and they were happy to send a new one. There were no customer service issues at all. The people I spoke to were helpful and courteous.
We still love our cooker and continue to get lots of use from it.

WMF Perfect Plus 3-Quart Pressure Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought mine in Germany back on 2002, it its top of the line in pressure cookers. Can cook the hardest venison or lamb in just a twist. My wife loves it, easy of everything and safe to use. Its top mounted gage is the most easy to use. I recommend this cooker to everyone.

WMF Jette 20-Piece Flatware Placesetting, Service for Four Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is supposed to a special collection for WMF's 150th Anniversary. According to their website, they had enlisted "one of the most successful German designers: JETTE JOOP. The cutlery model JETTE is in something special in every respect."
I ordered this as I liked the design of the handle. Since it was a special collection, I expected it to be made in Germany.
When I received the set, I saw that the knife had "China" stamped under the WMF logo.
[...]
The other four pieces had "China" stamped after the "18/10" on the back of the handle.
[...]
Nowhere in the product description does it say that this set was made in China. The photograph of the product shown also does not have "China" stamped on it. This is clearly a case of false representation. Why should a customer pay extra for a "special anniversary set", when it is made in China, with "China" stamped all over it? This set should only be sold in China!

WMF Topstar 6 1/3-Quart Stainless Steel Stockpot with Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We own a WMF Topstar set.
One handle broke off a couple of years ago, we contacted WMF and they replaced the casserole right away without asking a single question.
The same problem happened again recently (to another casserole in the set) but when we contacted WMF we were told to our surprise that their cookware only carries a 3-year warranty.
Apparently they've shorten their warranty because of the bad economy. We have no way to prove the Lifetime Warranty but we're sure the set came with one since it was the main reason we chose their products.
Buyer beware: WMF cookware does break and they do not honor the Lifetime Warranty. At least not anymore.

Vegetable can be cooked with adding a very small amount of liquid, maybe also some fat. Water steam will condense at the lid flowing back into the cooked food. You may also use this pot for roasting/braising. Eating healthy, savouring consciously, feeling good... WMF Topstar System matches this life-style: a well-conceived system consisting of pots, inserts, accessories for healthy cooking. All components complement each other and can be combined with each other. Inserts sit tightly on the pot rims ensuring easy work. The pots can be stacked into each other to save space in the kitchen cabinet.
