Handy Gourmet Microwave Pasta Maker Review

This little item really needs a cookbook to cover those wierd pastas you get from the health food store. For example, I love Soba noodles, but they cook to mush when I use this on standard settings.
Still, I think this is the best thing since microwaves. It doesn't heat up or steam up my kitchen nearly as much as a pot on the stove would, and no sticking.
Careful to leave the top of it OFF while you're microwaving. That's really not as dangerous as it sounds.

George Foreman GR11WSP3 Champ 36-Square-Inch Nonstick Electric Grill Review

This is my third Foreman grill. The non-stick coating on the previous two eventually wore out, probably because I was using marinades that adhered to strongly. If you just want to grill burgers and chops, this will do it. The only drawback in this inexpensive model is that the plates are not submersible.

We bought this grill to replace our old GF grill that was about 10 years old. We use this several times a week, and I really miss the old grill.
This does cook meat really quickly, but it lacks a timer and a temperature option that our old GF grill did have. It will burn meat very quickly and puts out a lot of smoke b/c it cooks too fast. This is the only jumbo size, so I guess it will have to do for now. If a timer and temp option were on here, it would make a big difference.

Sporting a sleek, contemporary design in durable plastic housing, this electric grill features 144 square inches of cooking surface for grilling summer vegetables, burgers, and more, plus a floating hinge to accommodate thicker sandwiches or steaks. The appliance's appeal lies in its simplicity and countertop convenience--not to mention its fat-fighting ability. Its design channels fat away from food and into a large drip tray. Even more, a double nonstick coating protects the top and bottom grill plates and allows for low-fat cooking while also ensuring effortless food release. The unit's integrated stay-cool plastic handle makes it easy to raise and lower the lid, and a spatula comes included for transferring food from the grill to a plate. To clean, simply wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth and put the removable plates in the dishwasher. The grill measures approximately 21 by 15 by 7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

I own many of these products and they are great. I was dissapointed, the first one had paint chips and I ordered a new one, then the second one did as well and I just decided to keep it. Other than that, this is an excellent product.
One word of advice, use a soft cloth to clean and do it when it is hot. I had to replace two of these because I used a plastic scrubby thing and the non-stick surface began to bubble and peel.

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Panini Pan and Press Review

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Panini Pan and Press
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was looking at electric panini grills, but didn't really want another appliance that I would have to store on a shelf or cupboard. I found the Calphalon panini grill pan to be easy to use, clean and store. It goes on the stovetop. I preheat the pan with the stainless steel lid, while I put my sandwich together. Then I brush the pan and bread with olive oil, put the sandwich on the pan and put the lid on top of the sandwich. I let it grill for a few minutes, turn over the sandwich and grill the other side. I get those great grill marks, and the lid helps flatten the sandwich and heats it too. I've also used the pan for salmon fillets, hamburgers, sausages. It does a beautiful job. Cleans up well because it's nonstick! Easy to store as well. Love this pan!

Norpro Enamel Cast Iron Panini Press Review

Norpro Enamel Cast Iron Panini Press
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Norprp cast iron panini press is a very good and useful gadget. I had really gotten tired of using a filled-up tea kettle as the top weight on my grilled cheese sandwiches. The press has just the right amount of weight, covers a wide area on my 11-inch calphalon grill pan, and is easy to clean (just a quick wipe-and-dry). The reason I gave it four instead of five stars is that the ridges on the underside are pretty useless. You can't really heat this thing up enough on the gas burner to use it to simultaneously grill the top-side of your sandwich as the product lit promises. It never gets hot enough and loses heat as soon as it comes off the flame. So for me it's just a fancy weight -- but that's what I bought it for.

The Panini Press by Norpro allows you to create perfect trattoria-style Italian panini sandwiches at home quickly and easily. You'll reduce time by grilling both sides of a sandwich at once, and the result is evenly cooked food every time you use your press. Perfect for tuna melts or grilled cheese, this fun kitchen addition is also ideal for steaks, chicken or burgers.

I enjoy using this to make "tortillas" with the dinner roll dough.
Problems:
1. It is HUGE. Not recommended if you have a small kitchen
2. The cooking pan on top is small and it doesn't come out. It is very difficult to clean after cooking.
3. The tortilla press has to be attended at all times. You have to press it all the time. It makes an annoying noise while pressing.

Cuisinart GreenGourmet Hard Anodized Eco-Friendly Nonstick 12-Inch Stir-Fry Wok with Glass Cover Review

Average Reviews:

As a professional chef I run across all sorts of cookware and kitchen gadgets that are supposed to be the latest and greatest for the kitchen. However, this wok just so happens to be the next best thing, and I picked it up at my local Le Gourmet Chef in Hagerstown, MD.
This wok does the job of providing even heat throughout your cooking process. The surface is super slick but gives you a nice foundation for stir fry's, stock reduction, or working up Pho Noodle bowl recipes. Cleanup is a breeze, with paper towel no less. The nicest feature is the stay cool recycled stainless steel handle. Some of the key features are:
* Exclusive Ceramica nonstick technology is PTFE/PFOA and petroleum free ceramic-based nonstick interior helps to reduce oil consumption and preserve the environment
* Hard anodized pan construction provides superior heat conductivity, requiring less energy to achieve desired cooking temperature
* Riveted stainless stick handle stays cool on the stovetop and is made from 70% recycled stainless steel
* Packaging is made from 100% recycled materials and is printed with soy ink
* Oven and broiler safe for
The deep rich browning created by this pan is uniform and flavorful. Don't let the competition sway you, cooking till black is not the new brown! So, if you are going green, get this cookware, it's certainly your next step! Simply put, the ultra smooth non-stick surface is smoother than glass; thus cooking requires little if no oil and clean up is a breeze with a simple rinse and wipe. I've been using this pan for several months now and can honesty say that it has stood the test of time even with my younger kids helping out at the stove. The finish is still in great condition without any pits, nicks or scrapes.
As long as you stay away from aerosol sprays you will have an enjoyable experience with this cookware or any cookware for that matter. If you must spray in your oil then I suggest you buy an oil mister because spraying from a can simply adds residue that ruins pans and takes away from the flavor of your food after buildup occurs.

Instead of going out for dinner, stay in and prepare sizzling Hunan beef or a delicious vegetable-tofu stir-fry with this 12-inch stir-fry pan.

These stainless steel veggie cutters are perfect for cute-ifying your child's lunch. I create snacks that are like mini-lunch*bles from the store, but healthier - instead of all the preservatives and sodium-laden stuff in those packages, I cut up nitrate-free lunch meat, soy cheese (the little one is lactose intolerant), and either cucumbers or carrots and whole grain crackers! She loves her cute little snack. These work great and are a snap to clean. Thanks!

Oh, I just love these!
If you find your lunch-box's content looks healthy but boring: you have to buy those!
You can cut almost anything you want, soft or hard, those cutters do the job.
I've started doing Bento for my lunches and those 6 little wonders were a must. It's great, when you've had a rough morning, to open your meal and have something pleasant to look at. I never thought Bell Peppers and Carrots could be fun to eat, but they are now!
The cutters are really sturdy and will add a nice decorative touch to all your meals. Easy to clean by hand. Not sure I would put them in the dishwasher.
Careful though: use a non-slip cutting board or your ingredients might slip and you could hurt your hands. I say : Not recommended for younger children.

Fasta Pasta The Microwave Cooker Review

I've been boiling various pasta noodles, at least twice a week, for over 25 years. When I first saw the FASTA PASTA microwave cooker internet demo video, I was a bit skeptical but interested enough to purchase the product from Amazon.com. After using the product three times, I can honestly say that it not only cooks pasta very fast but better, with less mess and energy, than pot boiling the noodles. Just follow the simple instructions and you will have perfectly cooked pasta without having to check it while cooking for readiness. I wish that this product had been invented years ago. My ONLY minor negative comments: 1. FASTA PASTA can only cook up to four pasta servings at one time, which makes its use for a large group impracticle. 2. The water measurement lines are a bit difficult to see when water and pasta is added to the cooker. Adding color to these lines would make them easier to see.

All-American 15-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I first ordered this canner, I wasn't sure if I would be able to maintain a steady pressure with my "pulsating" flat-top stove. With the thick aluminum walls, I have no problems at all. In fact, with such thick walls, I can put the burner on "high" and it will slowly build up pressure so I don't have to stand over the stove and constantly monitor as the pressure increases. Once at pressure, it is very easy to maintain the required pressure without having to constantly vent off excess pressure. The owner's manual recommends one to four jiggles per minute. It takes longer for this canner to cool down than others due to the thick walls. I factor this in to my processing time. It will maintain it's pressure (15 psi) for almost another 10 minutes with the burner off. This canner is designed to fit 7 quart jars perfectly. If your looking for a canner, this is it!

Norpro Spaetzle Maker Review

Average Reviews:

I was worried that this wouldn't work well, that the dough wouldn't drop through and that it wouldn't really make the process easier. I was wrong! I've made spaetzle before, both by cutting it from a board over boiling water and also by pressing the dough through a collander. This is sooo much easier and faster. The clip fits over the edge of my large soup pot with some room to spare. The handle is sturdy, solid, and it stays cool. Also, it is long enough so that even over my largest pot, the handle is neither over the boiling water nor the flame. The cutting surface is sturdy stainless steel - no twisting, no bending. The hopper slides easily when loaded. My dough dropped down into the pot in uniform and cleanly cut little dumplings as I slid the hopper back and forth - no additional pressing was necessary. The dough didn't cling to or cook onto the surfaces of either the cutter or hopper. I was able to fit my 6 serving recipe into the hopper in just two quick batches- about 2 minutes per batch, from loading the hopper to lifting out the finished spaetzle. The hopper slides off easily for cleaning. (I brush the surfaces off under cold water right away, and after dinner I hand wash it in hot soapy water.) I'm so happy I bought this!

This makes great espresso!! Here are a few tips to make a perfect cup of espresso: Remember to fill the water just below the safety valve. Too much water can prevent the valve from working properly. It's kinda like a pressure cooker. Too much water can cause problems.
Don't overfill the funnel with too much coffee. Too much coffee in the funnel can cause the coffee not to brew properly. I fill it just below the top edge of the funnel. Set your burner to medium or medium low and watch it carefully. Don't walk away because it can get ahead of you. Besides, watching the coffee brew is kinda cool ;) Keep working at it and you'll get the hang of it and pretty soon, you'll LOVE it! I use mine everyday and have had it for a few years now and I haven't had a single problem with it. Remember it is NOT the same espresso that you find at Starbucks. This makes traditional Italian espresso.
