George Foreman GR10ABW, A great little grill for..

A great little grill for BBQ fun indoors
I’ve been watching George’s informercials and regular commercials since they first appeared, and I’ve always been tempted to buy a grill. They were kinda pricey, so I never did. But then, I got one of the small grills with the bun warmer as a gift, and [...]

Very Happy. Cookies are now an every week occurence.
I hemmed and hawwed A LOT before taking the plunge and buying this mixer. I tend to over-research every big purchase I make and end up second guessing my decision many times over…. however, since this arrived and I’ve used it several times, I must [...]

I can’t believe these gloves haven’t been reviewed by anyone else yet! I’ve had mine for a year now and they are absolutely great for handling hot foods. I use them for pulling pork butt or moving hot chicken from the grill (or oven) to the cutting board (and then to hold onto it while [...]

Actron CP7875, Small, inexpensive, and..

Small, inexpensive, and handy, but no laser and wide spot
I did a lot of web research on infrared thermometers, visited 3 manufacturers’ web sites, and saw the Fluke 62 at Fry’s before buying this Actron CP7875 (on eBay). Chose it because of lowest price and rated accurate enough for my needs (+/-2%). Initially [...]

2001-8BN The Ultimate, great price

When I looked at it I was surprised by the price and assumed it would be junk. Quite the contrary, I ended up buying one for each of my catering staff as a thanks for excellent service. Well worth the money.

Cuisinart TOB-195 Exact, Great investment

Great investment
The Cuisinart TOB-195 costs a little more than most toaster ovens but it is such a joy to use. Some of the things I like about it:
1. Size. You can fit a 12″ pizza in it.
2. Controls below the door. It saves a lot of countertop space.
3. Alarm to let you know when the [...]

Emerson MW8991SB, Where’s the timer?

Where’s the timer?
The other reviewer is incorrect about the microwave’s (in)ability for specific cooking time input. All you have to do is hit the Power Level button first, then the numbers will allow you to input any time you want, 8 seconds or 45 seconds or whatever. I have the same 8992sb that [...]

Breville EW30XL Electric, Hottest Wok I’ve Ever Used

Hottest Wok I’ve Ever Used
This Wok has some serious heat. As a professional chef with Asian style recipes on the menu I’ve used many a stove top wok. Until now I’d never found an electric wok that could generate enough heat to sear in the flavors of meats and vegetables. Not only [...]

Calphalon HE600CG, Excellent indoor grill!

Excellent indoor grill!
I’ve had many indoor grills, this one outshines all of them! It is a large grill, with space enough for four burgers, sandwiches, chicken thighs or breasts, etc. It heats up fast with minimal, if any smoke. I love the timer option and control of the temperature. It is super easy to clean [...]

KitchenAid KHB100OB Hand, The GrandDaddy of Hand..

The GrandDaddy of Hand Blenders!
June 25, 2004: I have had a Braun handblender for many years (10 years?), and was pleased with its performance, until it finally lost its spunk last week. I bought this product yesterday as a replacement, and I must say I am very pleasantly surprised! This was a HUGE step up! [...]
