April Cornell Birds Embroidered Sand Napkins Set of 4

I was hoping these would look somewhat vintage and was pleased that they did. Very pleased with the sweet embroidery on 2 of them, but it was hard to figure out what the other two were.

Sunpentown SO-2000: Super Turbo Oven

I'm very happy with this convection oven. It couldn't be simpler to use: place food, set temperature dial, set timer dial, and walk away. The heat is concentrated on the food so it cooks very quickly without heating the whole kitchen as is the case with a conventional oven.

One negative would be the lack of a comprehensive cookbook, but that's minor since you really will be following your old recipes.

I love this oven, I have had it about 6 months and my microwave has been unplugged that whole time I do not miss my microwave at all. The food tastes a lot better from this oven than it does from a microwave.

I've been wanting to try this type of oven since I saw the infomercial for a similar product. I was lucky enough to find it for $8.00 at a garage sale. I have made the best chicken ever with this product. I bought an already seasoned half chicken from the grocery store. I set the oven for about 325 degrees and kept an eye on it for about 15 minutes. The skin was crisp and the inside was the juiciest chicken I ever had. Better than any restaurant, surpassing the oven and the other convection oven, better than the rotissirie chicken you get at the supermarket. I have been experimenting with seasoning combinations.

I've also cooked a cheesecake that turned out great. Made a quick hot dogs and french fries for lunch.

Buy many items from amazon because I can read others reviews. I bought this item because of reviews, I have a sneaky suspision that the people who submitted those reviews all work for the manufacture of the product.

The machine peaks at three hundred, cooks poorly and is much slower than a conventional oven.

This oven is very convenient for relatively small quantities (2-3 persons), plus you don't have to turn the food for it to cook well. The problem I encountered is that at high temperatures, its fan hits something and becomes very noisy. It eventually stops and the oven effectively stops working then. It does it less often now, in part because I don't set the temperature to be very high. It cooks just as well, though, even like that and it remains convenient for cooking almost everything I can imagine.

Chefs Secret 14pc 12-Element Cookware Set With Thermo Control Knobs Colander Cover

My Cookware set is the Maxam waterless/oil-less cookware and is about 35 years old. The Maxam and Chef's Secret cookware is the same type of cookware. Both are called waterless/oil-less cookware. Although the items you cook must have a curtain amount of moisture. That means sometimes you will need to add 2 or 3 tablespoons of water. With eggs and fish you need to add a little bit of oil. Remember, little water, little oil, that's if you need any at all! Also, start the pans on high then YOU MUST turn them to medium or low. Items will cook faster and TASTE BETTER, without as many calories or fat grams. I suggest you use very little salt, if any. Salt is largely used to enhance the taste; if you are not cooking the taste out of the food then you don't need the salt.

Maxam vs. Chef's Secret Cookware: Maxam uses 9 elements in its construction where as Chef's Secret uses 12 elements.

Both sets use High-Grade Stainless Steel which is simply the healthiest, earth friendly, efficient care-free cooking utensil in today's kitchen and it is the only precision crafted utensil designed specifically for waterless cooking. You do need to learn how to cook with it; YouTube can help you with that. Also, there are several websites that can inform you all about High-Grade Stainless Steel Cookware. Choice Cookery is one website.

Once you learn to cook with this type of cookware both cleaning and cooking will become easier. For example, when you burn something in the pan you just take the food out then add water to the pan, take the pan to a boil and the item that is burnt on will come off easily.

Maxam is a 304 surgical stainless steel. Sometimes 304 surgical stainless is referred to as 304T "Titanium". Maxam is a 5 ply with a 9 element construction. Most big name expensive stainless steel cookware sold in department stores is only 3ply. Good stainless steel will have a 5ply or more! There is almost no cooking different between a 5ply and a 7 or 9 Ply.

8 advantages of 304 surgical stainless steel

3 temperature resistance

4 beauty

5 durability

6 design flexibility

7 easy to clean

8 flavor protection

Steven Raichlen Best of Barbecue Stainless Slider Press

This thing's well made. Solid feeling in the hand. Rubber non-slip grip. Squares are about 2" each (smaller than sausage patties). I think you could roll out your ground meat of choice, and just draw a knife across it at the desired size instead of being stuck with such small patties. Even for sliders, this thing produces TINY patties. It's well built, but seriously, for $10+, I'd save my money and spend it on something else. Will probably be sending this thing back.

Char-Broil 4985130 Replacement Bristle Heads for Brush Hawg Grill Brushes, Pack of 2

I'm glad I found these after I found the Brush Hawg at a salvage store! And, the replacement bristle heads. I've always held onto prior grill brushes too long and sometimes gotten metal bits in food from grill because I was using brush past the time I should have thrown it out. Not anymore. I have spares of both to go with a handle that is strong and slightly flexible and holding up to time and use and year-round outdoor weather. THESE should keep the grill clean and brush parts OUT of food because I'll replace the heads at appropriate time because I have a replacement at hand. Good price and good shipping. I hope these are available for a long time.

Presto 07050 Cool-Touch Foldaway Griddle

The presto foldaway is a nice design with the large cooking surface and collapsable legs make it easy to store. Performance was way below what I expected. The heat is not evenly distributed at all. Even after letting it warm up for 10 to 20 minutes, the pancakes would come out with one half of one side nearly burnt, and the other half of the same side white. To avoid burning the pancakes you have to turn them before you should then the pancakes get puffy bumps on them because one side of the pancake is getting more heat on it, so the end result is a pancake that looks like volcano cake. Turning the temperature down didn't help either, it only took longer to get a pancake that looked the one I just described. While testing out the cooking surface, I was able to pour 9 pancakes, because of the uneven heating surface, the cakes on the outer edges cooked faster and the one on the top right nearest the control cooked much faster than the others. The one in the center had to be moved to the outside to finish cooking.

The only thing that folds is the side supports; when folded, it lays flatter but still takes up a lot of storage space. It cooks fairly evenly (a little hotter near the control) and really can cook 9 pancakes (or 9 eggs) at a time. It slopes slightly toward the front, which is great for bacon (drainage) but not so good for frying eggs (I sometimes shim the front sides to level it up). I haven't scratched the cooking surface yet, but I'm pretty careful with it. Overall I am very happy with it.

I really enjoy this griddle. I don't have a ton of storage space so I needed a foldaway unit. The legs fold down so it's not more than 2" wide & you can easily slide it into a storage cabinet. The heating element works well there are a couple of less-hot spots, but nothing that makes the unit unworkable. The non-stick surface is also very easy to clean.

We bought this griddle at Target for just under $40. We made 6 pancakes on it after we got it home, 4 in one batch, 2 the next. The pancakes turned out great, even better than when we used the pan on the stove. We didn't notice any cool spots. And it heated up quickly, while we prepared the batter. I believe we will get a lot of good use out of this. Also, the fact that it is fully submersible and dishwasher safe, after removing the plug in element, and has a catch tray for any grease, just makes it that much better.

I got this griddle for my birthday about a month ago as a gift. I'd been searching for a replacement for the old jumbo griddle I have because it's incredibly difficult to clean and too large for the number of people I normally feed. I've used this new griddle a couple times now and I have slightly mixed feelings for it. I really like how the plastic legs on the side fold under to make the storage profile a little smaller. The square shape also helps with storage because can fit into a cupboard easier. It's not as small as the griddles that fold in half for storage, but that's okay because I think the heating is more even this way. I wish that the control held the item/temp. equivalent chart that my old one did because now I have to look up what temperature I need for pancakes or sandwiches. The other thing that's unfortunate is that I wanted a griddle that would be easier to clean, but it turns out that the foldaway griddle is slightly wider than my sink is. I'm sure this isn't a problem if you have a dishwasher, but you might want to measure your sink before purchasing if you wash your electric griddle by hand.

On the plus side, the heating seems to be pretty evenly distributed if you let it warm up properly. And I was really surprised at how spacious the square design turned out to be. You can easily fit six good-sized pork chops on there without crowding them in the least.

2" Thermometer

This thermometer works well and it can take the high heat generated by a gas BBQ grill. (The Taylor thermometer I bought first broke the first time I used it.) It mounts easily in a 3/8" hole in the lid of the grill. However, after purchasing and using this item from here at Amazon, I discovered it's available elsewhere on the web for one-third their price!

I used a bore and installed this on my Weber kettle grill. It installs easily, looks good and works well.

The temperature readings are very accurate. I use this thermometer for smoking and allows me to keep the lid on to maintain a very consistant temperature. Since it's installed directly on the lid, I don't have it poking through the top vent, restricting my ability to adjust the lid vent.

It's got a short probe so it doesn't interfere with larger pieces of meat either.

I would definitely recommend.

This is a nice little thermometer, it was easy to install in my Weber Grill. I can just peak my head out the door and see what my temp is rather than having to lift the lid and try to guess, meanwhile losing alot of heat. It has a nice sized, easy to read dial!!

Honeywell Super Turbo ThreeSpeed Fan

There used to be a model of this fan that was near perfect. It was the HT-800 and I have three of them because I love having them in multiple rooms in the summer. That awesome model seems to have been replaced with this model which is less powerful. The less powerful part is OK, I can just turn the speed up on it (I always used the first setting on the HT-800--that sucker was strong!l). The part they really screwed up, though, is the base. They inexplicably cut away parts of it in the front and the back so now, instead of being solid and sturdy feeling, it's flimsy feeling and top heavy and falls over or points upward every time you touch it. Why oh why do so many companies take a product that's fantastic just the way it is and then change it so it sucks?

By the way, I put this same review on the manufacturer's website (Kaz) and noticed that they change all customer reviews to 5 stars, no matter how many you choose. Real honest of them. After years of buying this brand, I guess I'll be looking for a different one the next time I need a new fan.

Pros:

1. nice cool breeze

2. quieter than HT800 [Honeywell HT800 Super Turbo High Performance Fan, Black]

Cons:

1.not as powerful as HT800

2. Costlier than HT800

3. Do not remain in lowest position.. flipping upwards again and again

It moves air quite well and is not too noisy considering how powerful it is, but the angle adjustment on it is quite frustrating sometimes. I try to set it on my desk and blow it straight horizontal, and it naturally is most stable when blowing upward, so sometimes it will suddenly slip. There should be some kind of angle locking mechanism or something on it. Other than that, it was cheap, free shipping, and generally gets the job done.

I am very impressed with this extra small desk sized fan. It creates a nice strong breeze that can be felt from several feet away. Even the lowest setting creates quite a breeze, so if you have papers around or need an extra quiet fan this is probably not a good choice. For me though, I like the white noise it creates and in the hot, humid Florida summers, this is a nice way to cool off without having astronomical power bills.

I purchased one fan for each of the bedrooms and can now raise the temp on my A/C by two degrees and yet it feels cooler than it did before.

The fan can also be wall-mounted and the fan's angle clicks into secure settings so you don't have to worry about it rotating up or down. The power cord appears to be around six feet long.

I highly recommend these little fans for portability, space, and effectiveness. Those wanting an oscillating fan rather than a fan that only blows in one direction should consider Honeywell HFT114B Oscillating Super-Turbo High-Performance 3-Speed Fan.

We purchased these two of these for home use. The AC is undersized and the fans augment the cooling in areas where there are no ceiling fans. These fans are adjustable and can tilt at any angle. Ours are pointed straight up so that they don't blow on us but do move the air.

I took one into work and used it two different offices. It runs for 24 hours a day and has been on for almost a year. It is only turned off for cleaning or moves to another office. It has three speeds and works very well.

These fans have proven to be "work horses".

Universal Gas Grill Grate Porcelain Coated Cast Iron Cooking Grid 62152

I forgot how nice it was to grill on decent grates. These came packed very well, fit perfectly, and with a little oil (or spray) and attention, the food doesn't stick and has great grill marks. My family has complimented me on my grilling more often since adding these grates. Somehow they helped me become a better grill master!

This is a heavy duty grill grate. After 10 uses it is still very easy to clean.

When I need another one I would reorder this, what more can I say than that.

Bought these for a Brinkman 2250. They are not listed for this grill but the dimensions are the same. I opted for these, instead of the direct replacements, becuase I wanted the Porcelain coating. Grates appear well built and are heavy. Although the original ones, which were not porcelaian coated, did appear to be slightly thicker and even though they are very corroded now still seem heavier (I did not weigh them). Also the original ones had a more pointed down turned v-shape to the grates (perhaps for better searing lines), whereas these are of a flatter style. Still these look to be a very good replacement and cheaper than replacing the grill.

These grates are a good but not perfect fit for my Charmglow gas grill. They fit a bit tight at the front and back, and come up just a little short on the sides. Of course, they aren't direct replacements, and they have breathed new life into an older but still functional grill. I am very happy with the quality, which appears to be equivalent to the originals. Four stars because I think they're a bit on the expensive side. Shipping was fast and free, so the somewhat high cost was offset a bit.
