T-fal Total Edge Non-Stick Saucepan

t-fal Saucepan and cookware

Today I am reviewing a piece of cookware for all of you from the wonderful company known as T-fal which has been around for many years! If you are not familiar with T-fal, they sell a wonderful line of cookware, bake ware and even small appliances like deep fryers.

When I was first married (almost 28 years ago) I received several pieces of T-fal as a bridal shower gift. Since that time, I have been in love with the T-fal brand and was super excited to receive the Total Edge Non-Stick 2-Qt. Saucepan to review for all of you.

Total Edge Key Benefits: The Techno-resist base provides quick and even heating with no cold spots. The Thermospot technology tells when the pan is perfectly heated and guarantees perfect cooking results. (located inside the bottom of the pan). The handles on the pan feature the new Comfort-Touch riveted handles and trust me…the pans are indeed comfortable to hold!

Total Edge Key Features: The cookware features black non-stick exteriors which makes them super easy to clean. The pans feature Pro-Metal Pro non-stick interiors which prevents sticking and makes them easy to clean up. The lids to the cookware pieces are made from tempered glass and feature loop handles so they are really easy to life & hold while stirring and cooking your foods. I also love that there is a tiny steam vent hole in the glass lid so that steam can escape and food won’t bubble over.

My first test with my new T-fal sauce pan was boiling some pasta noodles for my grand-wee-one for lunch one day. She loves pasta smothered in a low-fat butter sauce so I made that for her for lunch.

I love that my water was boiling in record split time and I had absolutely no cold spots during the cooking process. After I drained out the water and added in my butter sauce I simmered the pasta for an additional 5 minutes. Usually during this phase I have to stand there stirring almost constantly to prevent sticking but not this time! Not a single noodle stuck to the bottom or sides of this pan! Amazing! I also love the clear glass lid because I can see inside the pan without opening it…after all, opening the lid adds onto the cooking time and I am a very busy grandma!

Over the past week I have made several things in my new T-fal saucepan including several pasta dishes, vegetables, pudding, sauces and soups. I love that nothing is sticking to my pan, I am getting nice even heating, the handles are some of the best I have ever seen on cookware and the saucepan cleans up lickety split!

In my personal opinion…this is DREAM COOKWARE and I can’t wait to add several more of their pieces to my cookware collection. It is absolutely fantastic!

Hand Painted Wine Glasses by Designs by Lolita

Hand Painted Wine Glasses by Designs by Lolita

Wine Glasses by Designs by LolitaWhen it comes to my glassware I am a pretty picky girl. I love to host and entertain guests in my home all of the time so, I like my glassware to be pretty, unique and they must be affordable. Today I get to introduce you all to a line of hand painted glassware by a very talented artist named Lolita. The official company name is Designs by Lolita and this company makes some of the prettiest, hand painted wine glasses I have ever seen!

For my review I received a brand new addition to their “Personalize It!” line of wine glasses and the design I received was “Hostess with the Mostest” and it is absolutely adorable! It comes in a cute cardboard canister with lift-off lid so it is ready for gift giving. If I was giving it as a gift I would add a bow, attach a card and I would be ready to go. What makes this wine glasss so special is that it also comes with a permanent marker so that you can personalize it for the person you are giving it to.

I love the idea for this new “Personalize It!” collection and currently there are 6 wonderful designs to choose from. The wine glass is itself is very high-quality and I love the height on it, this is not cheap dime store glass! The artist did a beautiful job at painting the design all over the outside of the glass, stem and base. Around the upper opening of the glass it says “Hostess with the Mostest…We had a Fabulous Time” and on the base of the wine glass is a To:____ and From:____ spot where you can personalize it and you can also write on the glass itself any type of message that you would want.

I will be personalizing mine for my adult daughter who is hosting a 63rd Birthday party for my mother in May. This will be my gift to her as a Thank You for hosting the birthday party. These wine glasses are hand washable so easy care for sure! Lolita the artist sure does have an “eye” for color as I love the color combinations that she used in this particular design. If you truly love unique, beautiful and one-of-a-kind pieces…this company is for you!!! I love this wine glass and I am looking forward to getting a few for myself next! You can check out all of their wonderful products and designs at their official “The Lolita Store”.
