What's the difference between this "Advanced" model and the regular one (except $10 and a free spatula)?

I believe the advanced allows you to use a metal spatula without scratching surface where as most nonstick pans require the use of plastic utensils.

Dear C.Smith, The only difference will be the spatula. Otherwise the cooking ability is the same. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. Sincerely, Tonia D.

I don't see that there's a difference - I suspect the tulip reference is related to the handles. I have been using these for some time and find that they are the best (of many) aluminum pans I've used, both in terms of non- stick and uniform cooking. Only caveat is that they are not suited to very high heat applications (like blackening meats) - best to stick to cast iron for that.

The top parts are slightly thicker and taper off to flat thin edge on top (all the way across the top edge). The picture shows that each one has two two slightly raised vertical lines that end about an inch or so before the edges -except for the smallest which does not have these. I found that these very small "ridges" actually add to the efficiency of those spatulas by giving a gentle lift if needed, but they don't interfere with the Spatula edges. I hope this answers your question!

The old model was Teflon. This one has a ceramic lining instead, which is much nicer.

The biggest difference I can see is that the Deluxe does not have a vacuum feature. That's a downside for me, but you may not be looking for an all-in-one machine.

I'll try! My original classic grater seems to have been different than what is offered now. It had a reversible handle (so it was easier for lefties) and I'm pretty sure it had two barrels, however, it was new 10 or so years ago and I think I purchased it at a Pampered Chef party...perhaps they have a special design. It looks to me like the main difference between the classic and restaurant style offered on Amazon is the size of the hopper and the bulk of the plastic it is made from. I went with the restaurant style for exactly those two reasons...we like a lot of cheese AND we use it a lot. The original grater was great (pardon the pun) but the handle did eventually break. It's just a few dollars more and well worth it. In my experience they are only good for hard cheeses and chocolate...I think that is what they were designed for. One hint, if you are grating and there is still cheese in the hopper, but it seems like it's not working efficiently...open the hopper and turn the cheese over so it's grating against a flat edge instead of a rounded one and viola! it's cranking out the grated cheese like crazy. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Yes, it is, Dorothy, and the ATK's conclusion was that there is no reason to pay more for the All-Clad tri-ply skillet. I've used it almost daily for almost a year, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it's changed the way I cook. It's made me more willing to experiment with new techniques and recipes, and improved the quality of my cooking. I chose the flared-edge model to make it easier to pour liquids from my pan, and I recommend this feature. It's even made my lean-up easier. I'm considering buying a second one, since the pan is oven-safe to 500 degrees F, I can finish a dish in the oven and still have a skillet for stovetop.

I am an owner, not a merchant. I have the first version which is green and the latest model is blue. I've examined the blue version and cannot find a significant difference between the two, other than cosmetic. I've been using mine a few years and it works great, assuming it is set up correctly with a good blade. The current price shown in the Amazon add is about $100 more than I paid but, that was a few years ago and I didn't get free shipping so, you might want to look at all costs involved.

I did look up the one sold directly by Anolon and I can see right away that it has the extra handle, the ones we purchased does not. They do appear to be the exact same except for the extra handle. They came in the Anolon packaging with warranty and instructions. We use the small one just about every day and love it! We did do some research prior to purchasing & feel lucky that we got the package deal, basically a 2 for 1. Depending on your cooking style you may want the extra handle.

I love this deluxe model, from what I understand its far superior to the regular model. I mostly grind spelt and wheat. I have ground brown rice a few times with it and was pleased with the resulting flour. I did go back and order the motor for it too & am really pleased using it. I did grind rice with it by hand cranking and motorized both ways result in nice flour. Hope that helps

No there is no difference except that one is listed as being as $22 and one is $18. But there is a variation on this model (Leatherman Style CS) that has larger scissors in place of the pliers. Hope this was helpful - Andrew

There now seem to be at least two different-looking versions of this tool with the same model number available online (both Amazon and elsewhere) and ranging in price from $50 to over $100. For example the video on the Amazon page does the demo with a different tool (about $50) than the one shown above for $100. Which version is the newest most "upgraded" version, and which ones have been sitting in a warehouse? For $100 and claimed to be "upgraded" and engraved, I expect an accurate one first try, no returns or return postage or delays - or I might as well just buy the plastic version.

I believe they are the same-- This is one of the best kitchen tools I have. You won't be disappointed!

There is a video on YouTube comparing both of the mandolines. Very informative. Just search for Mandoline Reviews.

I am not sure if there is difference between the other cookers and the "professional". The difference in the liners is that some are non-stick and some are porcelain. We LOVE the non-stick. Cleans up so easily, but there is the potential for chipping of non-stick so make sure no metal is used in them. Also, just a tip, we have 2 of Nesco cookers. One has a removable cord and one doesn't. I would make sure to get the removable cord in the future. It makes storage so much easier. One other tip, you can order replacement inserts (cookwells) from the NESCO site.

I think one difference might be the amount of ice cream it makes. The model I chose makes 2 quarts (almost). Depends on the recipe. I am not sure the specs on the other orthe price and can't tell you the difference being worth it. Sorry. I love this one. I did find not to turn on the cooling with the beater. That causes the first ice cream into the machineto freeze on the bottom of the bowl prior to the other and hard to remove. Turn on the beater and then add the ice cream then after a minute or so turn on the cooler button.
