Hitech - Cordless Mini Mixer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Love these mini-mixers! They'll make short work of chocolate milk, strawberry Quick, or any other "mix in the glass" beverage that's not too thick. I've made smoothies with it (yogurt/berries/etc..), but it can't handle ice cream.
Ours came with a little wobble (the spinning shaft seems to be a little off center) but it still works great. Can't beat the price.

Tovolo 80-8001B Blue Rocket Pop Molds Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My molds came the other day...
I LOVE these molds!
I love that I can pull one out at a time.
I love that I can wash one mold and refill it when I'm ready.
I love that DS is eating fruit pops when he wouldn't eat pieces of fruit.
Yes, they're more than the ones I got at the dollar store... but totally worth it! I was worried (until I got them) the molds would be unsteady in the tray... they're totally steady and I expect these will last many summers.

Harold Imports Chopstir Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this yesterday, and made a dinner requiring ground beef just so I could try it out! Even thought the ground beef I had was the cheapest I could find, this tool did an amazing job of breaking the beef apart. When it was almost all browned, I chopped it again with this, and the meat was broken into tiny little particles! This is so much easier to use than a spatula, wooden spoon or fork! And the results were awesome! I love that I could just throw it in the dishwasher and it is clean again! Definitely worth the small amount of money this costs! I might just buy a few more for family!

Schott Zwiesel, the famed German producer of the best crystal glassware has been a leader in innovation, style and technology for more than 100 years. The company has many firsts to its credit, including the first fully automated product of glass blown glass stemware. In the 1990's, as the glass industry struggled with the environmental issues of lead and other heavy metals in crystal, the company was the first glassmaker to produce lead-free crystal glass of superb quality and brilliance. Schott Zwiesel created tritan crystal in 2001 by adding titanium oxide and zirconium oxide to develop the world's best crystal glass. Tritan crystal is 100-percent dishwasher safe-it will not etch, cloud or discolor for the life of the glass. Tritan resists the damages of daily use-breakage, chipping and scratching. Tritan is thermal shock resistant. Tritan is one of the most extremely clear and brilliant crystal and is capable of conducting, refracting and transferring light more than any other crystal. As an added measure, tritan tempers the rim, the bowl and stem joint and the foot edge for added strength against chipping and breakage. All crystal items manufactured by schott Zwiesel stemware or beverage ware are cut with our patented laser technology for a smooth thin, elegant edge. Each detail of size, weight and balance is carefully studied by experts in the culinary field and our manufacturing engineers and executes to produce a glass for the maximum pleasure with focus on delivering the wine or spirit to its maximum potential.

Takeya 66-Ounce Iced Tea Maker with Silicone Handle, Avocado/Olive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm so glad I found this tea brewer. I had the Bodum Ceylon brewer for about a year and I would imagine that it's one of the main alternatives to the Takeya.
I'll do a quick comparison:
Durability - honestly, i've only had it for about a month but it's obviously made of better quality, or at least, more durable material. i'm not overly concerned about it breaking. the bodum ceylon i had cracked after using it for about a year and with relatively light usage - as in not every day or even every week of the year. time will tell, but i don't think this is gonna break so easily. the quality feels better in the hand. doesn't feel cheap. Infuser/Filtering ability - the holes on the bodum are large and so smallish leaf or the "dust" gets through quite easily into the brewed tea. the filter on the takeya is very fine and so far i've had clear cups of iced tea. i've been making white tea which has a larger leaf though. i'm thinking that it would do okay with japanese teas which tend have a very fine, almost ground up, leaf. i think takeya is a japanese brand so i would imagine they'd make a brewer that would do a reasonable job on their teas.
the infuser on the bodum though extends the length of the pitcher and so you don't need to fill it up. you would need to fill up the takeya to at least where the tea leaves are in the filter in order to make the tea. you may not want that much and you don't have the option of choosing.Looks - the bodum was nice to look at but the material easily took on a cloudy, not so new looking appearance. it looked old after the first usage. i like the takeya - i like green top since that's my fave color. this particular takeya model is tall so you should take measurements in your fridge to make sure it'll fit wherever you plan to put it. the bodum model is slender which is nice. it slides in easily to narrow areas.Ease of use - the takeya filter/infuser twists into the top/lid. that's very cool. it's very easy. the bodum slides into grooves/tracks on the side of the pitcher. you just have to make sure you get into the grooves; they are easily missed. you also flip this thing at the handle to open the top. the air can also easily access the tea because it's not really closed off. the takeya has a twist open top that will allow you to pour, without excess spillage. and tea stays fresher.BPA - if you care, takeya says it is bpa free. i don't know about bodum. it's not on the description.so, obviously i prefer this one. it's a nice product. i'm looking forward to making more iced tea. i use the cold (no heat) brewing method by the way.

Able to hold up to 66 ounces (8 cups), the Takeya Iced Tea Maker is great for brewing hot or cold tea, or for sun brewing. The attractive pitcher features a fresh design with a clear AcraGlass body and avocado-colored twist-top lid, so it's also great for bringing to the table and serving. The lightweight AcraGlass is BPA-free, as well as stain and odor proof, and it is more durable than glass. The removable rotating lid-infuser fully extracts the tea flavors while steeping, and makes clean-up easy. A soft-grip silicone handle allows for easy pouring or transporting. Dishwasher safe, the unit comes with its own reader-friendly user guide.

Aerolatte 1 Stainless-Steel Deluxe Edition Frother with Stand, Chrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I must admit, when I first heard of these immersion frothers, I was very skeptical. I had tried many frothers, cappuccino machines with built in frothers (work great first 2 times, then they always clog) and plunger frothers (can you say carpal tunnel syndrome??) etc. After much time AND much effort, there was very little reward, almost no froth and much frustration, not to mention cleanup. I tried the plunger types repeatedly to the point where I was sure I'd have blisters. Did I mention having to disassemble & clean all the frother parts after? :o)
So began my quest for an easy, effective way to obtain cappuccino style froth for my morning java. I searched java junkie message boards and decided to give the Aerolatte a try. I couldn't have been more amazed and pleased.
This little gadget runs on 2 AA batteries (included) and comes with a metal counter stand so it's easily accessible. I unboxed it and gave it a whirl, seemed sturdy and surprisingly fast. Now for the coffee test. Hmmm. So I brewed a pot (french press) of strong coffee and poured a little half & half in my mug and let 'er rip. All I can say is AWESOME!! I was totally shocked at how quick and easy the Aerolatte whipped it into froth. Seriously, comparable to the froth from Starbucks. I couldn't believe it.
The instructions recommend skim or low fat milk, which also frothed up just as thick and rich. Wow!!!! When you are finished, run the unit under under the faucet or in a cup of water to clean. Incredibly cool that you create the froth right in your coffee mug. Simple as that, no extra equipment to clean.
Be brave, experiment a little. I prefer heating my mug with sugar & half & half in the microwave for 30 seconds, froth for about 30 seconds & pour in coffee. Voila Coffee house quality cappuccino and no pots or tubes to clean. Pretty spectacular!
Details: Gotta admit, the stand that arrived with mine is cool to look at, very high-tech, but poorly designed & a tad annoying as you need 2 hands to remove the frother or put it back in. Ok, but not ideal. Luckily, Aerolatte must have realized this, as they have since redesigned the stand & replaced with an even cooler (hopefully more functional) design.
The battery life is excellent (at least 4 weeks of daily use), however I would recommend investing in rechargeable batteries and charger, as the unit is much more efficient and faster with strong batteries.
My first Aerolatte burned out after a little over a year of heavy usage. I loved it so much I purchased another. The price is reasonable as my unit was packaged with the unit, stand and matching shaker for toppings (cinnamon, cocoa, etc)
Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed! Bravo Aerolatte

Oxo Stainless Steel Strainer, Double Rod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a foodie and as such, I own quite a few strainers. This is the first Good Grips strainer I've purchased and although I love almost everything Oxo makes, I was still surprised at the size, quality and fineness of the mesh on this one.
Do your math, this is a HUGE strainer compared to most hand-held strainers, but the mesh is quite fine and yet sturdy at the same time.
It's without a doubt the best strainer I've purchased anywhere. I hung it on a hook because it's too big for my various utensil crocks, but I find myself reaching for it even for pasta, for which I'd normally use a colander.
Considering the 4 for 3 deal going on right now, it was a superb value, as well.
I intend to buy the smaller versions, as well, to replace my older strainers.
Oxo seems to make their products better and better all the time. I have yet to get a 'dud' from the Good Grips collection.

Rubbermaid Servin Saver White Mixing Pitcher 2 Qt. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm glad I bought this pitcher
I think it's very nice
It fits well in the fridge's door
With quarts of juice and ice
It's nice and wide for filling
You'll never waste a drop
It holds two quarts of water
With a multi-purpose top
Kool-Aid Twist comes as a mix
A fetching shade of blue
I poured the powder in the cap
To measure for my brew
Kool-Aid first and water next
Now let the fun begin
I moved the handle up and down
to blend the powder in
Seconds later I was done
So proud of my success
I mixed two quarts of yummy drink
Without making a messAmanda Richards, April 25, 2008Note: The cover has three positions - open, closed, and the one with that strainer thing to hold back the ice when pouring. The only problem I foresee is that the cover fits fairly loosely, and may come off when pouring the last dregs from the pitcher. It may be advisable to keep your hand on the lid when decanting.

Somebody should've invented this ages ago! No more swirling with spoons that are too short, or risking a shaking maneuver; this pitcher has an agitator inside that can be spun with the handle to mix up powdered lemonade, fruit punches, iced tea and more.

Samson 6 in 1 Electric Wheatgrass Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a nice product - it's heavier & larger than I would have expected, but it is simple to use.
It juices pretty much everything, and the pulp that is left over is really quite dry - more so than a lot of the centrifugal juicers I have used.
I went for this model over some of the others because I wanted something that was a little more multipurpose. So far I have made several batches of pasta with it - really rather good too!
Cleaning is straightforward, there's not that many nooks & crannies to get worked up about, the screen cleans easily with any soft brush, the toothbrush supplied is good enough.
In all there's the outer housing for the auger, the auger itself, the screen and the end cap & nozzle. These parts have all made it through the dishwasher - the screen is the only piece you really need to do by hand... the other bits all seem to come perfectly clean with a good rinse in hot water (after juicing, anyway).
The auger does it's job nicely, the motor seems to be suitably powerful.
About as loud as a regular food processor.
The only thing I would say is that perhaps the buttons should be sealed.
The instruction manual is simplistic, but there are a wealth of recipes available elsewhere.
