Chicago Metallic Baking Essentials Cupcake/Batter Dispenser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was amazed by the quality of this product. I'm a really messy baker, and there was no mess at all. You have full control of how much batter to dispense, and the best part was that the bottom didn't even get messy like I expected! As soon as you let go of the handle, it stops everything, not even an extra drop. It was the fastest and cleanest I've ever made cupcakes in my life. And very easy to clean too! I couldn't think of one bad thing to say about this product. I'm so impressed.

Sunbeam FPSBCML900 Cupcake Mixer, Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had the Sunbeam heart shaped waffle maker for about 12 years now and it's still going strong and works great so I didn't hesitate to buy this cupcake maker and also the donut maker. We have an 11 year old who loves to help cook so this was perfect for her. WOW is all I can say. I have a $2,000 Kitchenaid convection oven and I'll never use it again to bake cupcakes or muffins. The first morning we used it I tried it with one of those Martha White quick mix muffin mix and they were perfect. I find that even with an expensive oven I have to usually turn the muffin tins around half way through baking but this bakes everything evenly. I JUST finished 2 dozen cupcakes from a Duncan Heines cake mix and they turned out better then anything I've made in my oven. Set the kitchen timer for 12 minutes and each batch was done perfectly. If you're in a super hurry maybe not the best option as you can do it faster in a regular oven but it was half the work not having to worry about forever checking my oven to make sure half of them weren't over done. This product ROCKS and this is from a mom who has been baking for 25 years. All Teflon coated products have an initial smell to them but I didn't find that it smelled up my house like another poster here. I give this 5 stars for the super easy clean up (NONE) and another 5 stars for even baking. Just a super great product. Thanks Sunbeam, I've been a user of your products for years and will continue to enjoy them for years to come

Chocolatiere Electric Chocolate Melting Pot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pot is very simple to use if you just want to melt chocolate for baking or for fondue. It even comes with tiny little fondue forks (although admittedly, longer, nicer looking forks would have been more useful). However, if you are making candy, this pot heats the chocolate too high for tempering chocolate properly (meaning the chocolate resolidifies at room temperature with a nice sheen). You can still use it, you just need to watch it pretty carefully and keep a thermometer handy. You can pseudo-temper by not allowing the chocolate to get hotter than 96 degees F. Chocolate will start melting around 92, just don't let it get much hotter, and it will resolidify at room temp. The lowest temp setting on this device gets it up to about 109. But as I say, if you watch and stir and turn off occassionally, you can still do it.
02/08/11 edit: I've been using this device for two years, so would like to add a few notes regarding comments left by others. No, the device doesn't temper chocolate and it's not meant to. But you CAN get any chocolate (pre-tempered or not) to resolidify (a primary goal of tempering) by heating it up very carefully so it never gets very hot (as I said earlier, no hotter than about 96), stirring vigorously and frequently to aid in crystallization. The problem with this technique is that the chocolate is very thick at this temperature, so impossible to apply in a thin coat, if that's what you want. It also tends to bloom upon resolidification if you mix different chocolates or don't get it to just the perfect temp. All in all, pretty tricky for those kind of jobs. (Real tempering machines start at $400!)
If you're a dedicated candy maker, this ain't the product for you. If you just want to melt chocolate chips, use the microwave. But this is nice for fondue or, if you're not picky about final appearance, coating things per my recommended instructions above. Have fun!!!

Cutie Cupcake Baker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 6 year old really wanted the Gourmet Cupcake Maker for Christmas this year. I would have gotten it for her, but hated seeing all the bad reviews and knew it would just become disappointing clutter. Well, one day we were in a bookstore and saw this set on display and she fell in love with it. We talked about the differences in the two sets, such as the fact that she would have to buy extra mixes to make more cupcakes with the Gourmet set, or she could use regular cake mix and frosting from mommy's pantry for this set. And she could make six mini cupcakes at a time, which she can share with her sisters, instead of just one big one. The deal breaker was the different icing tips she can use. My mother decorates cakes, and she was excited to be able to "make cupcakes like Grandma's". She scratched the Gourment Cupcake set off her list and added this set. We've already made mini cupcakes and mini muffins. One box of mix will make ton of minis and take forever, so we've done 3 batches in the mini tray (18 cupcakes), and then use our regular muffin pan to make 6 big ones. It works out great! The icing tube was easy for her to use, and we had lots of different sprinkles in our pantry to add to it. She had the best time! She loves to cook, so I'm going to look for more of these sets for her. I also like the fact that she can do more than just cupcakes with this set. We've made muffins, but she could also make little biscuits or rolls. There are a lot of possibilities with this little set.
