Tupperware Crystalwave Divided Dish in Cosmos Review

Tupperware Crystalwave Divided Dish in CosmosThis is the size of a large dinner plate. I am looking for something that I can send with a toddler to day care. This was way to big. However it is still a nice plate. The only down side is that the dividers don't come up to the same height as the lid so if it tips everything will mix together. But all in all it looks decient enough.

VENTED MICRO WARMER Review

VENTED MICRO WARMERThe shipment of the containers was prompt and a problem with a couple cracked lids in shipment were dealt with promptly and I appreciated that. The problem with the containers themselves is that the lids to do not snap on and stay on tight. Even with the slightest movement, they dislodged and slide off. Would be a much better product if the lids went on and stayed on tightly.

I love the small size for kitchen jobs because a larger one would be cumbersome and clumsy for me.They are easy to clean and seem quite durable.I have been using mine for probably a year now and they look just like brand new still.

Another thing I appreciate about these particular brushes is that they are ALL silicone.I don't like the hassle of having wooden, or other materials, handles with my silicone tools.Since they are all silicone they are very easy to clean and handle.

High Heat Resistant Nylon Fork 14"/35cm Review

High Heat Resistant Nylon Fork 14'/35cmI have several nylon forks I use for cooking.I like them because they are relatively safe for non-stick cookware, and are flexible.They don't damage the coating.I was looking for more and could not find them in any store.

Then I found this one at Amazon, but the Amazon description is kind of sketchy, it doesn't give a whole lot of information.Checking the manufacturer's website (Norpro) I found that this a "HIGH HEAT NYLON FORK" 14" long.High heat resistant to 450F.That's about all the manufacturer's website says.

The fork is dark gray/black.It is fairly rigid, not as flexible as I'd have liked.So I reserve its use for a fork that requires its rigidity.Since it's heat resistant to 450F, it's good for use in boiling liquids, too.If you're not looking for flexibility, then this an OK product for you.

Horse Travel MugThis is an absolutely beautiful mug, and drinking from cermic is so much nicer then plastic or stainless steel. The only thing I am not happy with is that when purchasing the mug nowhere does it state that the mug is "Made in China".

Koolatron Z0100U Total Chef Oven Review

Koolatron Z0100U Total Chef OvenI got hooked on the American Harvest Jet Stream oven years and years ago.That oven has to be the best way to cook frozen chicken fingers,french fries, hot dogs, etc. in the world.I have owned several and had good success.
The latest one I got was from Sams Club about 4 years ago.It was a new issue (back by popular demand) that had a digital readout, timer and temp controls. About six months ago this oven finally fell apart. To be more specific the electronics just basically would not start the oven anymore.
Just like Homer I started "The Odyssey" the quest to buy the new air oven.Believe it or not I applied for the new Amazon Credit card just for the $30 discount to buy my new oven.
At the time Amazon was out of the new Nesco (wiz bang) version of my favorite healthy fast food appliance JS-4000T.There was a "new" older model of the Jet Stream for 39.95 and this strange knock off Koolatron oven.If you know me you (and yes my friends do laugh at the way I think.) I ended up buying both the new Koolatron and the old-new Jetstream ovens.
Both ovens arrived (gotta love Amazon for it's out standing customer service and delivery quality) and I decided to use the Jet Stream first.Everything was there and the oven seemed 100% new, yet I thought it must have sat on a pallet for like 8 years waiting for a buyer.After only a few uses I heard strange grinding sounds (from the internal belt?)and the smell of ozone from the oven.Shortly after about 10 uses the plastic nob on the top more or less stripped.I contacted amazon and Duh... figured out that I didnt buy the oven from Amazon but from some 3rd party place.Oh Joy!I put that on the side and just wrote that whole thing off.$40 wasn't worth the hassle of getting another old junk oven and then fight for my money back... I opened up the Koolatron.
This is a strange oven.The external temp guage was missing but no big thing.It came with a whole lot of strange looking stuff.. a huge needle thing to "inject" flavor?? into meat, rods and a wire stand (that makes no sense whatsoever)to hold up the lid after cooking.
The Koolatron design takes up a WHOLE LOT of room on your counter.The Jet Stream goes on its side and actually hides very well.I got the Koolatron all setup and then ... it was DOA.A quick email and Amazon sent out another one.I then packed up the old and used the return tag to get rid of the dead one.(Love Amazon)
Well... the Koolatron has a thermastat that won't let things get over heated.I setup my normal chicken fingers and started to cook.What would normally take 8-9 minutes in the Jet Stream took 25 in the Koolatron.The chicken was not evenly cooked from piece to piece.The other day I tried frozen onion rings and exactly the same thing happened.One ring was soggy the other hard as a rock.It is pretty clear that the Koolatron does NOT get hot ENOUGH nor does the fan BLOW as hard as the Jet Stream.Very very sad as with the exception of the size on my counter, this oven looked like it beat many of the Jet Stream problems.
Long story short the Koolatron does not even come close to cooking as well as the Jet Stream does.Save your money. Actually I think it cooks "strange" as if favors some pieces andavoids others?Hidden AI?
Yes my wife is going to kill me but I am going to buy ANOTHER JetStream (the JS-4000T oven and start again.
If you are a Jet Stream Junkie like I am... the Koolatron is NOT the replacement we have been waiting for.Save your money and go with the orginal.

Deion Sanders Hot Dog Express Review

Deion Sanders Hot Dog ExpressDeion Sanders' Hot Dog Express is an obvious attempt to exploit the wild success of George Foreman's grills, however Deion was not savvy enough to work with a high-quality manufacturer like Salton to manufacture his product.The Hot Dog Express is an OK quality product, but handling it gives hints that it will not last as long as a George Foreman grill does.

That being said, it did cook some very tasty hot dogs.It has the rollers like a professional hot dog stand, and takes about 14 minutes to cook eight hot dogs.I used Oscar Meyer beef dogs and they tasted better than any boiled hot dog ever could.The buns warmed on the cover as the dogs cooked.

The only obvious quality problem was the timer dial.It is marked for the length of time you want the cooker to run.I set mine for 14 min, but found that it stopped at the three minute mark and had no alarm bell to indicate the completion of cooking.To compensate, I have to set mine to 17 min, and keep my eye on the clock.This may be a manufacturing problem only with my unit, but is only mildly irritating.I tend to keep an eye on cookers when they are running anyway, for safety reasons.

The unit cleans up easily, as they state.The rollers and the "oil collection tray" both come out of the cooker for easy cleaning in the sink.

Overall, I do recommend this product because it cooks a very good hot dog.It will serve some heavy duty time on my patio this summer.

Progressive International Nesting Tongs Review

Progressive International Nesting TongsSeveral sets were purchased to serve hors d'oeuvres at our son's wedding reception. When we saw how nice they looked and how well the tongs worked, we ordered a couple of more sets in quickly before the date. The green color coordinated well with the vegetables, fruit, sandwiches, etc. We actually received compliments on the tongs! When not in use, they nest together very nicely. The bride took several sets home; and I kept the rest for future use. Loved the tongs, and highly recommend them if you want something other than clear plastic or metal tongs. These were one of our neat "finds" for the wedding reception.

Progressive Micro Silicone Pinch Bowl, Set of 4These nifty little pinch bowls are brightly colored and perfect for storing relatively coarse items in your mise en place.The silicone surface of the little bowls, though, is just a little tacky, and I've found that finer condiments like salt and flour stick to the inside of the bowls.These bowls are perfect for a pinch of an herb, but, because of the slight stickiness of the surface, not great for, say, a precise 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Pie Crust Shield Review

Pie Crust ShieldI have several of these and use them with every pie I bake (several a month).These were a gift for my grown son who actually requested them on his Christmas wish list since he loves to bake too.They are wonderful and so much easier to use than trying to shape foil around the edge of a pie before baking.Big hint: Spray the inside of the Pie Shield with Pam or a similar non-stick cooking spray before using it.Makes removal for browning part way through the baking process much easier.

Joyce Chen 18-Ounce Japanese Tetsubin Cast-Iron Four Seasons, Red Review

Joyce Chen 18-Ounce Japanese Tetsubin Cast-Iron Four Seasons, RedThe tea pot is very pretty but the red finish was already coming off on the paper packaging.When the tea pot was washed even more red finish came off. The unstable red finish was very disappointing so I returned the teapot for a full refund.

This Four Seasons Japanese Tetsubin (Cast Iron Teapot) is part of the Collector Editions Series which is a Joyce Chen exclusive.These Tetsubin with their exquisite relief designs are admired and collected not only for their quiet delicacy but also for their ability to brew a perfect cup of tea.

Each hand cast, cast iron teapot comes with a stainless steel mesh infuser and is finished with porcelain enamel on the interior. Whether beginning or ending the day you'll find it easy to make your favorite beverage in one of these lovely and useful teapots.Safe for the stove top but beautiful enough to use as a decor piece this beautiful Red Tetsubin features the Japanese symbols for the four seasons in relief.The cast iron keeps brewed tea extremely hot yet the interior porcelain enamel keeps the metal from interacting with the tea or imparting a metallic taste. Joyce Chen's slogan "Eastern Cookware for the Western Kitchen," reflects her focus on providing high-quality, versatile tools and products that have Asian flair, but can be used in a western kitchen.Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1958.The restaurant flourished, and in 1973 a larger Cambridge restaurant was opened. Chen also began writing Chinese cookbooks and in the 1970s began hosting a cooking show on public television. She found that the selection and quality of Chinese cookware in America didn't live up to her high standards- so she developed her own. Today, Joyce Chen Products come from all over the Pacific Rim to bring the best of Asia to you.

MILKSHAKE STRAWS Review

MILKSHAKE STRAWSThese straws are big by any standard and as manly-man straws they have the pipe capacity to suck a quart drink dry in less than 30 seconds flat. They'd be perfect for serious man-straws if they weren't in silly daffodil colors. You can get away with the blue and green, but they need to lose the pink.

Nice big straws. You can suck out a pint of Ben and Jerry like it was nothing but a milkshake with one of these culinary suck weapons.

Taylor 8790 Temprite Reusable Food Thermometers Review

Taylor 8790 Temprite Reusable Food ThermometersI don't remember the packaging or what it looked like or what it said, but after using them for a few times and cooking your food right, it is clear that it is supposed to turn bright red. Anything less and you haven't cooked it enough. The steak one has three different readings, the first part turns red quickly and it is for rare, the middle part turns red a little more slowly and it is for medium and the tip takes the longest and is for well done. AWESOME!

These things are amazing. We bought them b/c they were cheap and at Target one day 3 or 4 years ago and we can't live without them. They have NEVER been wrong. I wish there was a pork one, but we just use the steak one to see if some of it turns red and we know it is cooked but won't be dry. after 3 or 4 years of use they are still going strong. Our chicken one is starting to bite the dust and I was depressed I couldn't find these ANYWHERE! I found them here and will be buying several packs to stock up for the future.

These are for those of us who don't know what temp. to look for on the thermometer or you don't wanna wait for it to register. You poke it in, make sure it isn't touching bone, I always waited a second and then BE READY, you look at it AS it comes out of the food and if it is bright red it's ready! They do change quickly back to the original color, so be ready and have ample lighting around where you are so you can be sure... these things have saved us from MANY MANY raw meals. My husband used to be the WORST at under cooking because he was scared to over cook things. Now that we have these every meal is spot on!I HIGHLY recommend these to ANYONE!

That Orange Stuff 16 oz. Review

That Orange Stuff 16 oz.I recently bought and used this cleaner and was really impressed with how well it did.It's a concentrate, so once it's diluted, the price is very inexpensive.I was surprised at how many different jobs it did around the house! I was planning on just cleaning the sinks and ended up unclogging drains, cleaning the toilets and mirrors.It can also be used in carpet cleaners, so I'm planning on trying that next.I also read that it fixes squeaky hinges.I like that it's an organic product but at the same time gets the job done well.So many organic products I've tried in the past did not work as well as the regular cleaners.Plus, this cleaner has such a nice, light scent that I don't have to air out the room when I'm done.All in all, I was very impressed and ordered two more bottles!

Krona 12-Quart Stock Pot with Lid Review

Krona 12-Quart Stock Pot with LidThis pot is all that we had hoped for. My wife makes large batches of dog food in it, parboiling whole chickens. We also make large quantities of soup both stock to freeze and use later and enough soup for us and friends.
We bought this because we own two Krona "multipots" and they are in constant use. All the pots share the same thick base which is the secret of their success. Great Pot!!

Progressive International Straw Dispenser Review

Progressive International Straw DispenserI delayed purchasing this for months, waiting for the price to come down.It never did.I didn't like spending $15 for this, but it really does look great and work very well.The dispenser came in its own box (in addition to the Amazon shipping box), and inside the box the dispenser was wrapped in plastic.It was wrapped so well that I even decided to use the straws that came with it, which I had intended on throwing away due to my previous experiences with dirty kitchenware from Amazon.

The dispenser does hold 100 straws, but 75 fit and fan out a little better.When the lid is lifted, the straws lift up and fan out, just like old-fashioned glass dispensers, and then they return easily back into the dispenser when the lid is set back down.The dispenser is about 10.5 inches tall from the base to the top of the knob.

The bottom silver-colored cup that holds the bottoms of the straws was a little crooked, but that was easily remedied by just lifting the whole inner unit out of the acrylic tube and screwing the bottom on better (it's attached to the stem, which is riveted like a screw at the bottom, with an ordinary nut).

After seeing and using this first-hand, I've decided maybe it was worth what I paid.Maybe.

Nylon Pan Scrapers (Set of 2) Review

Nylon Pan ScrapersI got a set of these a few years ago and use them regularly.They are very sturdy and the thick rounded end allows you to use a lot of pressure without hurting your hands.I have used them with teflon coated cookie sheets and skillets, and the shape allows me to get into corners without any problem.The scrapers have lasted me a few years now without getting any knicks in them and without scratching any of my cookware.I was surprised to see Amazon's suggestion to use one for scraping ice off the car, I do not think I would recommend them for that use.Their size is very handy for pots and pans, but VERY narrow for using on a car windshield, and you don't have the same type of leverage as an ice scraper made for that purpose.

Norpro 11 Inch Small Spatula, Red Review

Norpro 11 Inch Small Spatula, RedI love the look of this spatula and I love the feel of the handle in my hand. It has a great ergonomic design and it's very easy to hold on to. What I don't like about the spatula is the same thing that a previous reviewer liked a lot so it's easy to see this spatula could be very good for some people and not so good for others. It just depends on what you want a spatula to do.

The rubber end of the spatula is just too hard for my personal preference. It's difficult to get it to scrape up anything in the bottom of a bowl because it has no "give." I like a spatula to be able to moosh a bit so I can get every last bit out of a bowl. With this spatula that's just about impossible.

The other reason I give this a two-star rating (and that's being generous) is that the rubber end came off the first time I used the spatula. It continues to come off in use and when being washed.

Handy Gourmet Over Sink Cutting Board Review

Handy Gourmet Over Sink Cutting BoardThis cutting board is great except for two things: the basket isn't very durable and the brackets on the sides are not "rubberized" to prevent sliding. Trust me, you don't want the board to shift mid-slice. There are other boards that have the non-slip sides but I haven't found one with a basket this large.

Tupperware 3 Pc Vent N Serve Round Set Review

Tupperware 3 Pc Vent N Serve Round SetI LOVE Tupperware's vent n serve (formerly heat n serve) containers. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes so there is a container for your every cooking/storing need.

They are microwave safe so they don't get ruined (LOOK GROSS) after using them multiple times. They also have neat little red things (vents?) that you can pull out so the closed container doesn't "explode" like it does with cheap imitation Tupperware.

Unlike the previous reviewer, I've used mine at least a dozen times and have not had that problem...I put them in the microwave, fridge and freezer.

Progressive International Set of Mini Colanders, Blue, Green and Red Review

Progressive International Set of Mini Colanders, Blue, Green and RedI bought these mini colanders to easily wash small quantities of berries for my toddler (and also for her to play with). I love the colors and that they are dishwasher safe; HOWEVER, if you put them in the dishwasher, they will develop some rusting between the base and the bowl. And some discoloration will occur to the paint.
