ARC International Luminarc Pub Beer Glass, 16-Ounce, Set of 10

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I read someplace in reviews that somebody got this set for $10 a while back. I paid twice that and have no qualms about it. They should last forever and if someone breaks 1 so what I have 9 more, then 8 more... until I'm the only one with a glass then I don't break my own stuff. Perfect. Everybody else can cup their hands under the sink if they're thirsty. Stop breaking my glasses.

Culina 13" Splatter Screen, Stainless Steel Fine Mesh. Resting Feet

Product Description

Hosting a dinner party and bringing out the big pots and pans? Deterred by the amount of bits projection and splatter of other ingredients?

Culina 13" Stainless Steel Mesh Screen, splatter or hazardous boiling oil don't have to be part of your cooking experience.

Ergonomic design, multi-use

The large 13" mesh screen accommodates all size pots and pans. Protects against messy splatter, hazardous boiling oil or other food and bits projection such as tomato sauce. Culina 13" Mesh Splatter Screen conveniently doubles as a strainer. In addition to keeping your hands from the heat, the handle is securely jointed to the rim of the screen and seamlessly extends to boast resting feet to conveniently sit the splatter screen on the stovetop or countertop. The sturdy handle affords users a firm and secure grip.

Better than a lid for tastier results

Don't be discouraged by messy cooking, instead, cover the pan with the anti-splatter screen. As an added bonus check on the food with the convenience of an uncovered pan. When recipe doesn't require a lid, (which often changes heat distribution), a perfect compromise is Culina 13" Mesh Screen to contain the splatter and still maintain a stable heat level as air escapes.

Strong-built, durable quality

With a reliable, stainless steel construction to withstand daily use and repeated handling over the years, Culina 13" Splatter Screen will last you a lifetime.

It's easy to wash with a simple swipe of the dish brush; rinse with the kitchen hose and voila! Its slim frame makes it storage-friendly as it can slide anywhere between pots and pans in the cabinet.

All in all, a great housewarming or college send away gift idea for the cooking enthusiast in your life!

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I've had a chance to use this for three meals so far. I am happy with the build quality, the welds look good, the mesh of the screen seems higher quality than average meshes. I've used it for oven steaming in a 12" pan, and for a pizza idea we came up with last year for football season. I use a fairly wet pizza dough, and have found that my bottom crusts don't always get super nice and crusty. Using the Culina in conjunction with Lodge's Cast Iron big heavy pizza pan took care of that problem nicely. The little feet lift the pizza off the Lodge, but still allows all that heavy metal to radiate heat upward. I recommend a quick spray of cooking oil on the Culina and Lodge with an oil mist-er to make for easier cleanup. I attached two pictures showing the layout and air gap.of 3/4" between devices. Also, I found that the huge OXO silicone pancake flipper (good to 600F in the oven (!) works great as an easy to handle and store in a drawer quickee pizza slider.Since we do A LOT of pizza during sports season, It's back to Amazon to buy a second set of the Culina and Lodge pizza combo.

I needed something simple and basic and love love these. I don't cook a lot as a single guy but when I do it's very easy and I've used most all of the items.

Grater by Nature's Kitchen - Coarse - Commercial Grade Stainless Steel

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Best thing I like about this is the build quality. For as small as it is (which is a big plus as I live in a city and small is best) it performs like its big brothers. Non slip little grip helps as well. I would recommend this!

FARMcurious - Mason Jar Fermenting Kit - Mold Free - 2 pack

Product Description

Color: Grey

The ideal solution for anyone who's a little creeped out by the fuzzy stuff that can grow on top of an open fermentation system (like a bucket or crock), this little set locks out the air and all the yeast and mold that come with it. Carbon dioxide escapes through the top of the airlock but nothing is allowed in.

Attach the set to any wide mouth mason jar - fits a half-gallon jar for larger batches and down to a half pint for tiny little test batches.

Includes two full setups - two ReCAP lids, instructions and recipes, two stoppers and two airlocks so you can make two batches of yummy lacto-fermented goodies at once!

CUSTOMER REVIEW



While you could assemble everything in this kit for yourself, this is a good value for a beginner. It had good quality airlocks, and the ReCap lids have uses beyond fermenting. The included instructions are brief, which is fantastic- they cover everything you need to know. The few recipes are simple and straightforward, again, perfect for a beginner to not get overwhelmed.



If you don't want to spend much on a beginning fermenting setup, this is absolutely a great choice. The cost is very close to the retail prices of the included parts, so you're not paying a huge markup for convenience.

All American 921 21-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner

CUSTOMER REVIEW



This is a very high quality, heavy weight canner. It practically screams, "Industrial strength!" The slide clips and screw-downs securely fasten the lid to the pot. No blow-outs with this baby. The weighted pressure gauge makes operation almost foolproof. And no gasket required! Before purchasing a canner, I did a lot of reading in the rec.food.preserving news group. I saw endless inquiries about sources for gaskets for canners ranging from a few years old to many decades old. It was clear some of these people had spent many, many hours in search of a gasket. Avoiding the need for a gasket became a major criteria for my purchase.



I've had my canner for a couple years and am still impressed with the quality. There are only two negatives I can think of. The heavy weight of the canner is a plus for strength and longevity, but it can work against you. The canner weighs 20 pounds when it's empty. Unless you work out regluarly, you're not going to fill the canner on the counter and then carry it to the stove. The other potential negative is the height. This canner requires at least a 16 inch clearance over your range. If your range has an upper oven the canner might not fit.

Bentgo Kids - Leakproof Children's Lunch Box (Purple)

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I ordered the blue Bentgo Kids and I like the 2 tone colors. The blue is nicer than the standard Bentgo Box blue. The compartments are nicely sized, just perfect for my kindergardener. Before I let my son use it, I tested the box by putting liquids (water) into some of the compartments, lock it and then put it sideways (standing up). Amazingly, no water came out. Therefore it passed my test and I'm sured that the lunch foods will not end up in my son's backpack. Primary reason for my testing is because the size of this box is pretty large and none of the lunch bags I have at home fits this box.



The next day is I put some Cheetos in a small compartment and packed piping hot white rice & some meat in the main (largest) compartment. I asked my son to pay attention whether the Cheetos became soggy after a few hours. When he came home, he stated that his Cheetos still crunchy! So, good job for making sure no steam or liquids come out from each compartment.



The only reason I didn't give a rating of 5 is because the box doesn't come with utensils nor does it have designated space to store utensils. Thus, I had to figure out a way to pack utensils separately while keeping it close/together with the lunch box itself.

A brief video to show the machine, coffee compartment, water tank, making coffee, and emptying the grounds and drip trays.



We really love this machine because we love great coffee but we don't make frothy milk drinks. This machine produces very, very good coffee from scratch at the push of a button, automatically grinding the beans pumping through hot water and dumping out the "puck" of coffee grounds into the internal bin. It's a nice compact size and fits easily on a counter under the cabinets.



We bought this to replace another Jura machine we have had for the past 10 years, which after many thousands of cups of coffee started to leak and get a bit temperamental. The Micro ENA-1 is smaller and cheaper than that older model, but produces the same great (maybe even greater) coffee.

Gurin Touch Professional Digital Kitchen Scale (12 lbs Edition), Tempered Glass in Elegant Black

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I've been through quite a few kitchen scales throughout all the years I've been working. I've had expensive ones and cheap ones but this particular scale by Gurin blows them all away. For its price, this scale is phenomenal in terms of quality and accuracy and definitely my favorite.



style/looks - Though this wasnt at the top of my priority when shopping for a scale, this scale does have a very nice appeal. the entire top portion of this scale is a one piece tempered glass surface so its really compact. It appears that the material under the glass is black so it has a black glossy/shine look on the surface. One thing I should note is that since the top is all glass, it is easy to get finger prints on it, but at the same time, since it is all smooth glass, its very easy to clean. Another thing I should note is that the whole glass top acts as the weighing platform so its really easy to weigh large objects without a problems.



Its also very thin; I'd say about the same thickness as an iPhone. Since the shape of this scale is thin, its really convenient to store anywhere, or even take around with you in a bag or purse.



other features - The screen that displays the weight is quite spacious and backlit so its very easy to read at a glance. Another thing that I had noticed over the years with other scales is sometimes, the screen is too hard to read, whether it be no backlight, poor viewing angle, or a weird shape that makes it hard to read the screen with a large bowl on it. However, this scale is very easy to read in any situation. Also, the buttons on this scale are touch sensitive, meaning you literally just tap your fingers against the glass surface to operate it. I find this to be very convenient in many ways, especially since there are no grooves for physical buttons, its easier to clean or wipe down.



Also, batteries are included ( 2 button cells), which is always a plus.

Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator

Product Description

Style Name: Essential Red

Red wine needs to breathe to allow it to open up, release its intended aromas, and of course, make it taste better. Vinturi's patent pending design speeds up this process by instantly aerating with ease and convenience. It delivers recognizable improvements immediately: better bouquet, enhanced flavors and smoother finish. Perfect aeration in the time it takes to pour a glass. It couldn't be easier. Comes with a no-drip stand. Made of acrylic. Aerator and stand are dishwasher safe. The glossy, clear acrylic is elegant and clean. But do note that there are two slight fold lines that extend upward from each air hole. These are normal. During manufacturing, material folds around rods and wraps back, and this causes the fold lines.






CUSTOMER REVIEW



First of all, if you are a wine drinker, get this. It works, or else I've been taken by the psychology of it. I first encountered it at the Sterling winery in California. Since we were joining the "club", we got quasi-VIP treatment, which included a demo of this device on a newly opened bottle of wine (yes, the Sterling wine store had them for sale for $45). Wine was poured into one glass from the bottle, and another through the Vinturi. It clearly made a difference in aroma and taste. We've since done a couple of blind tests, and picked the aerated wine every time.



Now, let me save you a couple bucks. The basic device includes a small rubber stand for storing the Vinturi. It is just fine. The upgraded 6-piece set includes a less-than-useful stand. It is not attractive enough to leave on display, so it's another bulky thing to store. Also, we found that our wine glasses were either too short--and we got spashing--or they were too tall and wouldn't fit. Plus, the stand holds the Vinturi perfectly vertical, which is contrary to the included instructions, which tell you to tip it slightly to the side.



So, fellow wine drinkers, get the $25.47 model, and you'll be quite pleased. Don't waste your money on the six-piece version with the stand.

San Francisco Bay OneCup, Breakfast Blend, 80 Single Serve Coffees

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I guess I fat-fingered my order. I wanted to order the 80 count version of SFBC's "Fog Chaser", but wound up with 80 of these instead. I really liked the Fog Chaser more than any other k-cup I'd tred, but Organic Rainforest Blend (ORB) is even better! At first I was just going to send it back because the label was green, so I thought this meant it was decaf. I never drink decaf because I'm afraid I might get rickets or just drift off into a coma. But I decided to run one through the Kerug, and stockpile them for my health-freak friends if I didn't like em.



NOT DECAF!



Nope. This is high voltage +p pharmaceutics grade coffee. The weird part is how great it tastes.



I'm not a coffee nerd; just a guy who likes a rich cup of black coffee with a few extra amps in it. Amps it has. After a cup of ORB, I got into a conversation with my wife where I actually did most of the talking! But even if it didn't peg out the caffeine meter, I'd say it still has about the best flavor of any coffee I've ever tried. I think the roast is medium to dark. In the cup it has a LOT of oil. It actually gets that ring of light brown foam around the edge like good espresso. It's really sweet (for coffee), and I can't imagine putting any sweetener in it. Hearty, and yet refined; not exactly Old West, or Cafe de Paris, but I can imagine a cowboy and a mime fighting over the last cup. ... then again, maybe that's just the caffeine talking.



NB: There is a lot of cool stuff on the box about the great stuff the company does; you know, if you have time for that sort of thing.

Wilton 570-1121 Easy Flex 3-Piece Silicone Spatula Set, Blue

Product Description

Size: Set of 1

Perfect for all your baking needs. This 3 piece silicone set includes the popular spoon, small and medium spatulas.






CUSTOMER REVIEW



I have been using these spatulas for a few weeks now. I wanted to test them in different cooking situations. I am very happy with them. They are heat resistant and very flexible. Of course the handles are made of plastic so you have to be careful with them or they will melt.



Edit 9/15/09: Nearly a year later and the spatulas are still going strong.



Edit 10/15/12: After four years I am starting to detect some cracking on the edge of these spatulas. I'm elated that it took this long to show any wear. Product still usable. I
