Presto 07061 22-inch Electric Griddle With Removable Handles – 5 Star Review

Awesome Griddle! I had an old Cast iron that didn't heat evenly and was wanting the electric hoping the heat would distribute better. I was a little worried about some of the bad reviews but figured I'd try it anyway. Very glad I did! I think maybe they didn't let the griddle warm up before using it? Because I've made Brioche French toast and [...]

Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender with 12 Functions for Puree, Ice Crush, Shakes and Smoothies and 40oz Glass Jar – 5 Star Review

I bought this specifically to make smoothies. I found a fantastic recipe involving strawberries, heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, vanilla yogurt and it's magic. I'd never owned a blender before other than a personal ninja given as a gift that I used once that couldn't even mash up frozen blue berry much less ice and I got rid of it quickly. This had great [...]

Lodge PreSeasoned Cast Iron Combo Cooker – 5 Star Review

Fried chicken will never taste as good as in a Lodge cast-iron skillet. Neither will biscuits and gravy. Teflon and all those other pans will be dead and buried while your grand kids are using these to make meals for their great grand kids. Don't skimp and buy cheap knock offs. I have a 45 year old Dutch oven I still use while hunting [...]

Brita Everyday Pitcher – 5 Star Review

We were buying too much bottled water over the years and I decided to drink from the tap since we don't live in a big city. I tried but I couldn't because of the chlorine taste and smell. So I decided to come back to my first love and I definitively taste a big difference. The water doesn't have any taste. I had just [...]

BLACK DECKER 12 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker – 5 Star Review

Finally, a no nonsense, easy to use, inexpensive coffee maker for those of us who are fed up with expensive, short-lived coffee makers. The display is not too bright at night and very easy to read in the day. The programming buttons are straight forward and very simple to use for people who tend to be a little technologically challenged. There was a power [...]

Cuisinart CCO50BKN Deluxe Electric Can Opener – 5 Star Review

I have tried several different cans and they all were easily held and cut. Although, there were times were even after the lid was fully cut, it would still try to continue to cut instead of stopping. Ah well, also the thing that keep it held up sometimes really has a strong hold so if you're doing some sort of soup it may jerk [...]

Mueller Premium 1500W Electric Kettle – 5 Star Review

I recently purchased this Electric Water Heater because I kept having to replace my regular stove top kettle, the average cost was 45 dollars. What a difference this Electric Kettle has made! It heats up the water in record time, saves energy and shuts itself off when the water starts to boil. The blue light when in use is an added plus. I also [...]

ThermoPro TP20 Wireless Cooking Thermometer – 5 Star Review

I really dig this thermometer. I have a set up where I have to run up and down stairs while using the smoker and it was getting pretty tough running up and down stairs all day. My initial unit stopped working after about 6 months. I got the dreaded LLL on the display, without even having the probes plugged in. I called customer service [...]

ThermoPro TP16 Large Thermomete – 5 Star Review

We used it for the first time on Labor Day, on a 7 pound brisket in our electric smoker. Normally I smoke a brisket at 1 and half hours per pound, this time I set the temp to 185 and after 9 hours and 45 minutes it was done. I double checked the temp with an instant read thermometer and it was spot on. [...]
