Snow River Maple Pyramid Cutting and Carving Board Review

Snow River Maple Pyramid Cutting and Carving Board
Average Reviews:

Another major retailer sells this same board for about three times the price. I've been very satisfied with the board for carving fowl and roasts; the raised pyramid grid center section holds meats in place without running risk of damage to my good knives. The groove around the edge to catch drippings seems to be big enough for even large roasts.

Simple, elegant, functional -- the Pyramid Carving Board in maple is all that and more.This beautiful board is a generous 15" x 21" and a sturdy 3/4" thick. It features a groove to contain carving juices and protect your counter or table.The incised pyramids are more than decorative -- they help hold your entree centered on the board, avoiding slips and potential accidents. Need a prep board instead?Simply flip it over and use the flat side for kneading, chopping, etc.Hand-sanded, and finished with a food safe oil.

Norpro Apple Mate 3 Review

Norpro Apple Mate 3
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm sorry to say that the Applemate 3 was a great disappointment. I ordered it because it's supposed to be the most versatile of the apple peelers -- ostensibly it can do any combination of peeling, coring, and paring -- and I have to admit that the unit looks quite handsome and is sturdily made. But it simply did not work for me. I wanted something that would peel and core apples, and I couldn't make the Applemate peel efficiently, try as I did to adjust the blade. I experimented on four apples (two fairly hard, two soft), and each time the blade would begin peeling and then would just slide off and merely scrape the skin. I've seen apple peelers work before, and maybe it's something I was doing wrong; all I know is, this model behaved like a nifty-looking invention that isn't quite perfected yet.

Waring MX1050XT Xtreme Hi-Power Blender Review

Waring MX1050XT Xtreme Hi-Power Blender
Average Reviews:

This blender is strong, powerful and FAST. The motor spins at 45,000 RPM and makes fast work of any blending job. The connection between the motor and blending jar is metal to metal (NO PLASTIC drive parts). The price is right, check out the warranty 3 years on motor and 2 years parts and labor, but it's built for commercial use and the way I use it - I expect it to last a long long time.
A huge advantage to me was the fact that it is only 18.5 inches tall (with the lid on, the 18" measurement is without the lid). This allows it to sit under my upper cupboards, neither the VitaMix or Blendtec would fit when assembled.
The motor has all the power you need, but is a bit noisy - I have to wait for a TV commercial or get dirty looks from my wife. Yet it is quieter than some other blenders because of the rubber cushion between the motor base and where the blending jar sits (which is removable and easy to clean).
The blending jar is big enough to really be useful. I like to make blender - ice cream - and can store a 7 days worth in the freezer from a single batch. While there is a hole in the top of the lid, I no longer use it as there is a certain splatter factor that comes with a blender that runs this strong and fast ;->
My blender ice cream, ½ cup of sugar free French vanilla coffee creamer, 1.5 cups of milk, ¼ cup Amaretto, frozen strawberries. I take out around 15 or 20 strawberries (depending on size) and allow them to partially defrost (still frozen in the center) this is necessary so it does not freeze up and not blend correctly with just a few berries. Put the milk, creamer and amaretto in the blending jar, add the partially defrosted berries, cover and blend, add milk if too thick to blend correctly. Once the concoction is blending smoothly add a couple hard frozen berries at a time to thicken as much as you would like. I use the reusable zip lock 1 cup plastic containers and fill about ¾ of the way to store in the freezer. Yummy

Charleston Glass Beverage Dispenser 2.5 Gallon Capacity Review

Jar looks very nice. However note that the spigot is very narrow and slow. Can be frustrating to initial users, but it is possible to get used to it over time.
Bought this in May. Used extensively to store water and use every day. Spigot twist top has broken off in December. Don't seem to be able to find a replacement part easily. Don't even know what it takes to get it and replace it.
If you are considering this for frequent use, beware and prepare for a stress induced broken spigot.

Grill Hook, a new twist for turning food. Review

Grill Hook, a new twist for turning food.

I purchased this tool and it works great! The way to use it is described by the pictures. You hook the edge of the meat. You will be able to lift a big piece of meat with this tool with one hand very easily! Much better than tongs which require more hand strength to keep the tongs closed AND lift the food.
Highly recommended

The Grill Hook provides "pin-point" control for turning food on a barbecue grill. It's not only fast and easy but it is also a lot of fun. Using a hook has the added benefit of keeping your hand a comfortable distance from a hot grill (so you barbecue the meat, not your hand).But "No" you say. "I don't want to let the juices out of the meat by using a hook." Well consider this: more juice can be released by squeezing the meat with tongs than by poking it with a hook.When you use a hook the sharp stainless steel tips hook the edge of the meat, not the center where the juices accumulate. The point being that the hook will just barely penetrate the meat on the seared edge where the juices have been sealed in.The Grill Hook provides greater control, even with heavy cuts of meat. Use with ribs, steaks, chicken and tri-tip.

I purchased this server a few years ago and it is beautiful! The size is perfect and fairly easy to clean.
The spigot though was a big disappointment. After only one season of use the spigot(made of plastic) wore out.
If this server came with a chrome or metal spigot, I would purchase again..
As for now, my Beverage Server is Serving as an apple container..Still looks beautiful though!

I have been looking for popsicle molds for my 2 year old for a while. All the ones I found were way too big for his hands (and his appetite), required that all the pops be frozen together, etc. These are perfect. They don't take up much space in the freezer, can be frozen individually, the size is perfect for his appetite and the handle is very easy for him to hold. We have gotten a LOT of use out of them in our house this summer!
