I bought several bowls like this last year at Target and always meant to add more. We watch a lot of DVD's at home (with popcorn) to save money.
My local Target stores no longer carry these so I was delighted when I saw these on Amazon. We ordered and received them in record time. Way to go!

I'm disappointed with this product because it wants to come unstuck from my brand new Kitchenaid. It was easy to apply but the same day I noticed that that it started to come up a bit around the edges and on the gentle curves over the top.

West 6130 Bend Raclette Party Grill Review

West 6130 Bend Raclette Party Grill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We used it when my in-laws came in. The granite (for warming foods) is beautiful and likely expensive which is probably why the engineer/designer went cheap with the metal top that actually grills the meat.
The metal grilling portion is very thin/light. When we began cooking the thinly sliced steak and salmon, we brought it right out from the fridge. With the rapid change in temperature, the top did begin to ((warp/bend)). However, when it cooled off, it went right back to normal. Was slightly disturbed when it happened because it was a pretty drastic change in shape. The heat this racelette grill gives off is perfect and certainly hot enough to cook the foods we prepared.
If you do not mind spending more money for this size then go get the Swissmar but we only use it during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Overall, worth the money.Amazon did a nice job with packaging! With quick shipping as well!

Nesco 4808-14-30 Classic Roaster Oven, 18-Quart, Non-stick Cookwell, Ivory Review

Average Reviews:

Our primary use for this great roaster is for cooking the Thanksgiving turkey each year, but it also has a multitude of other uses.
Nesco roasters are such a part of my family's history that I thought everyone owned one. When there were family reunions, we'd see many of these, holding everything from hot potato salad to baked beans, to burgers and brats to keep them warm before the meal starts.
Back to the turkey, however. In the 10 years that my wife and I have been hosting Thanksgiving for our families, we've never had a bad turkey come out of the Nesco. When I hear stories about dried-out birds in standard ovens, I can't relate, since I've never had any need to roast a turkey or ham in the oven.
The Nesco roaster keeps the food moist while cooking evenly. There's not much more you can ask from a roaster, and this does it with ease!

Since 1932 the Nesco brand name has been synonymous with Roaster Ovens. With a Nesco Roaster Oven you can roast, bake, cook, steam, slow cook and serve. Other than broiling, the Nesco Roaster Oven can do anything a normal oven can do but better and with less energy usage and less heat generated in the kitchen. The Roaster Oven is portable so you can make great tasting meals wherever you go. The exclusive "Circle of Heat" heating element wraps around for moist, even cooking. The automatic temperature control maintains even cooking temperatures from 200 degrees to 450 degrees. Removable steel rack has easy lift out handles and the design allows for better baking and fat-free roasting. The 18 qt size is designed to hold up to a 22 lb Turkey so it large enough for family gatherings and other social events. Non-stick removable cookwell. New Ivory Color. Recipe guide and use / care included.

Over the years, I've developed a bit of carpal tunnel syndrome which flares up now & then, so I have to be careful not to overly strain my wrists when opening a tight jar or bottle lid.
This Jar Lid Wrench by Back to Basics is a life-saver! I use it for for opening vacuum-packed lids, lids that my hubby has screwed on too tightly, and even for the caps on soda pop bottles.
The two sizes on the lid wrench fit everything, and I've even used the long handle area to open the tiniest bottles, like a pill bottle.
I love this product so much that I now own TWO of them, and am going to order one for my daughter's hope chest. (Does anyone even remember what a 'hope chest' is? *smile*)

(More customer reviews)
I have been looking for an inexpensive Curly Fry Cutter for several years. I bought one of these locally and it works SO FAST and easy with perfect Curly Fries that I ordered three of them on Amazon shipped to family members out of state!
If you wash the potato good, remove eyes, then you can just cut it and fry it with skin on which is healthy for you. It will cut a medium sized potato in seconds!! And it catches it in the bottom hopper. There is a small heal left but I just cut it in strips like regular fries. The machine comes apart easily and is easy to wash.
The Curlies cook faster than regular fries too. If you look online you can find recipes for your favorite restaurant seasonings to put on them also.
If you like FRESH Fries this machine is a must have.

I bought this pressure-cooker three years ago on the recommendation of another person who has used hers for ten years. This pot cooks tomato sauce that tastes as if it were cooked on the stovetop all day, and makes stews in a third of the time. I LOVE this appliance for homey winter comfort foods! It's not scary to use and very easy to clean up. I also recommend buying Lorna Sass's pressure-cooking books for really tasty recipes that are easy to prepare.

If you seriously need a great air purifier, and can afford this one, I highly recommend it. My wife is allegic to my cat, I have asthma, and we can't be without this.

The Sun-Pure "Six Step" Air Purification System * STEP ONE: Cleans the Air of Macro Particles A treated (5) micron pre-filter removes all particles from the air larger than (5) microns, extending the life of the Hepa filter and protects the gas absorbing media from dust coating and fouling. * STEP TWO: Removes Toxic Chemicals and Gases A specially formulated gas absorption media removes exhaust fumes, organic hydrocarbons, pesticides, formaldehyde from particle board used in home construction, paint solvents, chlorine, cleaning chemicals and other toxic fumes. * STEP THREE: Eliminates Household Odors Activated coconut carbon pleated for maximum surface area removes unpleasant odors from the air caused by cooking, heating and air-conditioning systems, pets and nearby industrial processing plants. Activated carbon also rids the air of irritating low level ozone. * STEP FOUR: Hospital Grade HEPA Filter Removes Allergens Hepa filters remove allergens so small that they can only be seen with a microscope. Pollen, mold, fungal spores, dust mites, cockroach dust, tobacco smoke and bacteria are but a few examples. * STEP FIVE: Ultraviolet Light Kills Disease Germs on Contact Ultraviolet light 10,000 times the intensity of sunlight kills viruses and bacteria on contact. Ultraviolet technology is an important feature in air purification since germs are easily spread from one person to another by central heating and air-conditioning systems. * STEP SIX: Negative Ions Improve Sleep and Keep Air Fresh Ultraviolet light accelerates the natural purification properties of ordinary oxygen and creates small amounts of negative ions the same way as sunlight and oxygen in the outdoor environment keep air clean and free from disease germs. Negative ions are believed to help induce sleep.

So far, we have had no success in getting this screen to work. We've boiled the pumpkin, taken the rind off, and still it doesn't go through. Most of the pumpkin gets shunted out the side screen, and then mostly water comes out of the shoot where the pumpkin puree should be exiting. We're going to let it cool completely and try again. Hopefully that will work, otherwise it will simply be a waste of money for this screen.

Progressive International Egg Slicer Review

Progressive International Egg Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wrote a good review first because of the versatility of this slicer but after using it for a couple of months it started falling apart on me. Two wires have already broken and others are sagging like they are ready to break. I don't use this slicer very much and I only use it on eggs that's why I can't believe it's doing this. I feel the concept is great but the quality really lacks on this slicer that is why the 2 stars.
update: About all of the wires are broken on this, it's now completely useless, I might of got a bad one but I don't think so it looks like all of the wires were rusted where they are connected to the sides like some of the water didn't drain off so they rusted through. Well it's time to look for a new slicer. Oh and I took it down one star since it is basically a doorstop now.

Progressive International Avocado Slicer Review

Progressive International Avocado Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am an avacado fan. So, when I came across this tool, I thought, "aha... something to save me time in the kitchen". Well, that's only partially true.
If I have an avacado the same width as the avacado slicer, then all is right with the world. A simple motion of pressing into the avacado half and pulling towards me, and I end up with evenly spaced slices. What could be simpler or quicker!
Alas, there is a downside. If your avacado is smaller in width than the slicer, your in for a messy situation. The slicer no longer slides through the avacado, it gets caught on the tough skin (it is wider than the avacado in this situation) and the once even slices are now mashed and part of the avacado peel sticks to the slicer. I spent more time cleaning up after the slicer and my slices were no longer uniform. In this case, I would have been better off using my knife.

Just got this yesterday. Took their advice and used the supplied molds and not just plain ice cubes (will try that later). Made one helping of frozen milk and two of plain ice. This morning, I put the block of milk in the hopper and cranked out some BEAUTIFUL shaved (not crushed, not flaked, but beautifully shaved) ice milk. Topped it with some chocolate syrup and just enjoyed the heck out of it. I'm not sure why the other reviewer found it so hard to crank the unit. I'm 61 with mild arthritis in both hands and didn't have any problem. I don't know how much hard use this beauty will take but I figure for $18 I can afford to buy a new one every summer.

Progressive International 5-Piece Set Collapsible Measuring Cups
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'd been working with only a liquid measuring cup for too long, so I bought these because I knew they'd fit in my drawers. I wasn't sure how sturdy they would be, but I'm not worried about that now that I've used them for a couple months. When they're expanded, you might not even know they're collapsible. And there are only two possible positions--collapsed and expanded--so it's not like they will give different measurements if you somehow mangle them (something I had been irrationally concerned about).
The magnets are a nice touch, I suppose, but only the 1/4 and 1/3 cups are light enough to stay put on my fridge, so the other three sit in the drawer sticking to my measuring spoons.
Edit: The lettering on the measuring cups was pretty much unreadable after about a year, so I have to compare the sizes to tell which is which. Still love 'em, though.

Victorio VKP1055 Stainless Steel Dual-Use Steam or Water Bath Canner Review

Victorio VKP1055 Stainless Steel Dual-Use Steam or Water Bath Canner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been involved with canning for nearly 50 years. I've used a lot of water bath and pressure canners. This was my first experience with a steam canner, although steam canning had been recommended to me several years ago. My friend told me she used to have a stainless steel steam canner but now all she can find is aluminum, so when I saw this I said, "OK, let's give it a try." I know the Victorio name from their juicer, and it's a quality company. True to my expectations, this canner lives up to the Victorio name. It is heavy-duty 18/8 gauge stainless steel, has excellent instructions for both steam and water-bath canning. It's easy to use, easy to clean, and extremely durable. The gauge on top is accurate, folks, and takes the guesswork out of when to start the timing. Eight jars at once (while steam canning) is marvelous! I've done several loads of peaches today in this pot and I won't go back to water bath for anything! This is a beautiful, economical, multi-use canning pot and I'm going to love owning and using it year after year. My only regret is that I didn't have it years ago when I was doing much more canning for my family! It's more expensive than the aluminum Back to Basics brand canner, but I'm glad I spent the extra because I know I'll love this dual-pot a lot more than just the single-function Back to Basics. Back to Basics cookware is good (I own some), but in this case, the Victorio wins the prize.

Can't decide between water bath and steam canning? The Victorio stainless steel dual use canner can do both!

Large stainless steel 24-quart liquid capacity pot can be used as normal stock pot when canning season is over. Water bath capacity: 8 pints or 7 quarts. Steam capacity: 9-pints, 8-quarts, or 5-half-gallons. Not recommended for use on smooth top ranges. Heavy weight with prolonged high heat can damage some flat cooktops. Important: Steam canners and water-bath canners are not recommended for canning low-acid foods. Please consult a reliable guide before canning.
