DeLonghi DO400 1400-Watt Digital Control 4-Slice Toaster Oven Review

DeLonghi DO400 1400-Watt Digital Control 4-Slice Toaster Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used to have a much larger toaster oven, but having subsequently bought my first microwave, when the big toaster oven died, I looked for a smaller toaster oven to free up some counter space. I've had this for about a month, and I think it's quite good for what it is, but for what it is, it's overpriced. If it were cheaper I'd rate it higher. It broils beautifully. The oven heats very quickly, which is great. By my measurements, it's about 50 degrees above the requested temperature in middle ranges, as has been noted by others. But small toaster ovens are always unreliable on precise temperature. That's why all those frozen foods that come in microwave containers say don't cook them in a toaster oven (which you can do just fine, by the way, if you know how far off the temperature is). I prefer toast a little lighter than it makes toast at T-1, but it's okay. I miss features like the hook pull-outs, which not only pull the shelf out when you open the door but keep the door from crashing up and down, and the pull-out, rather than drop-down, crumb drawer. It's a perfectly adequate small toaster oven, but it should be either a little better or a little cheaper.

An efficient alternative to turning on the oven, this 1400-watt countertop appliance provides user friendly digital controls that make it easy to bake, broil, toast, or keep food warm. Its 1/3-cubic-foot capacity will accommodate individual pizzas, casseroles, or up to four slices of bread, bagels, or English muffins at a time. In addition, the unit's toast-color selector with automatic shut-off allows for choosing from light to dark settings, and its adjustable temperature control makes it easy to cook with the right amount of heat. For precise and consistent results, press the quick-check button to view the current oven temperature anytime during the cooking process. Other highlights include a drop-down crumb tray for easy disposal of crumbs, a removable bake pan and broil rack, and an attractive design that will nicely complement any kitchen decor. Great for cooking up breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the toaster oven measures 11-1/4 by 16 by 8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty against defects.

Crock-Pot 3060-W 6-Quart Round Slow Cooker, White Review

This is a great value and enduring product. I've had my Rival crock pot for over 10 years, and have used it literally HUNDREDS of times. This is another one of those very low cost but high value kitchen tools.
The low setting allows for slow (12 hour+) cooking overnight or all day. I love to put on a pot of chili before I go to bed or work, and let the house soak up the aroma!
Just be careful with the countertop placement, as the sides get very hot!

Schlemmertopf Classic Glazed Clay Cooker, Medium Review

Schlemmertopf Classic Glazed Clay Cooker, Medium
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I found my first Schlemmertopf at a yard sale, never used and with instructions. Ten years later I own 6 different sizes including some Romertopf brands. I don't use anything else for baking, ever, with the exception being obvious things like pizzas or cookies. So far I have found many of mine second-hand; I believe this is because people don't use the bakers properly and think they don't work.

Let me be clear on this: you need to read the instructions. I'm not used to doing that, so I'm very grateful I did this time. You MUST soak the baker in water before using for the first several times. The terra cotta absorbs the water and then diffuses it inside the baker during cooking. This creates a moist atmosphere and a naturally-occurring broth for meats. After it becomes seasoned with regular use, you rarely or never have to soak it again. Soap, cleaners or the dishwasher must never be used as the terra cotta absorbs the "flavor" of soap and this will ruin your food, however they clean up really well with water. The bakers turn out perfect, moist roasts, meatloafs (no need for a special meatloaf pan!) and chickens and food generally cooks in less time. The coloring of the bakers will change with use, just chalk it up to part of the charm of using "real" cookware.
Whenever I am cooking for company, they ask about the bakers - apparently few people have seen them or know anything about them. For that reason, they make great gifts for people who love to (or simply have to) cook.

Lock & Lock Glass Euro Lunch Box Set, Green Color Dot Pattern Bag Review

Lock and Lock Glass Euro Lunch Box Set, Green Color Dot Pattern Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I chose the Gray Color Dot lunch bag; it's compact and measures about 7"L x 5.5"H x 4.25"D. The contents of the lunch bag are: one 380 mL. (~ 1.5 cup) and two 160 mL.(each ~ 2/3 cup) borosilicate rectangular-shaped glass containers, three matching lids with silicone sealing rings, and a pair of collapsible chopsticks with its own case. The containers may seem small for others; but it's great for portion control. Do not buy this set if you want a big meal. Come lunchtime, I remove my bag from the frigde, take out the containers, remove the lids, place a paper napkin/towel over the glass (to prevent splatters), and microwave the food that I want to heat up. Great for small separate dishes (bento box style). Regular-sized sandwiches will not fit. The sealing rings are thicker than those in the Snapware containers that I own. In researching this product, I have read some reviewers say that the ring is difficult to clean. So far, I have no complaints regarding this issue. I separate all the parts when I come home from work and wash them as soon as I can. I love this set!

B+D INFRAWAVE OVEN S.S. INFRARED COOKING BROIL PAN Review

B+D INFRAWAVE OVEN S.S. INFRARED COOKING BROIL PAN
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had this oven for about 5 months and have used it for everything: from hot dogs, to burgers, steaks, apple pie, frozen foods and even my own recipes. We love the results! so much so that even though we renovated our kitchen and got a new stove with an oven, we use that one to store pots and pans and cook everything in the InfraWave.
We love the convert button and use it for everything. The fact that we only have to enter the type of food, time and temperature that is in the regular recipe (or the packaging instructions) and it "converts" it into its time (usually half the regular time) is super easy to use. We also toast, bake and broil even frozen meats(like burgers, hotdogs and steak) and it all comes out perfectly done: juicy on the inside and grilled and brown on the outside. You might have to play with it a bit to find the spot that you like the most (for example my husband likes meats medium/rare and I like them medium well, so I add a couple of minutes to mine)
This is the best cooking appliance I have and I can only imagine how much I will use it in the Holidays to make green bean casserole or sweet potato casserole while the turkey is in the oven! Get one now if you don't have it! You'll love it!

The Infrawave Quick Cooking Oven from Black & Decker lets you leave your traditional toaster-oven preconceptions behind. This Cooking oven uses specific wavelengths of light that are emitted from high-power light bulbs, which means you get instant heat with no preheating and faster results than traditional toaster ovens. You don't even have to worry about what temperature to cook at since the intelligent profiling system cycles the cooking lights according to the type of food being cooked.

I got these because the pair cost less than one of the Orka gloves, but there's a reason why. The Orka glove is large, unwiedly and cumbersome, but that thing will withstand HOT temperatures. With these, I can feel the heat very quickly, almost as soon as with cloth gloves. I'm not impressed. I'd rather use one Orka than this pair.

Chrome Baker’s Rack Review

Chrome Bakerand#146;s Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been looking at this Baker's Rack for at least a year and finally took the plunge. After reading some reviewers say that their Baker's Rack was damaged in transit, I decided to pick mine up at Target.
The box is very heavy and says right on the carton that it is a team lift. Fortunately Target was very helpful and had a couple of young men put it in the back seat of my small car. Upon arriving home, I opened the box in my car and carried each piece up the stairs to the kitchen.
Putting the chrome Baker's Rack together is not hard. Just decide how high you want each shelf before you start putting it together. By looking at the picture on the box and remembering that each section on the legs is one inch you should easily be able to get your shelves at the right hight for your needs the first time around.
It's amazing how much you can put on the the shelves. I'm really happy with this purchase!

High Heat Resistant Nylon Fork 14"/35cm Review

High Heat Resistant Nylon Fork 14/35cm
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have several nylon forks I use for cooking. I like them because they are relatively safe for non-stick cookware, and are flexible. They don't damage the coating. I was looking for more and could not find them in any store.
Then I found this one at Amazon, but the Amazon description is kind of sketchy, it doesn't give a whole lot of information. Checking the manufacturer's website (Norpro) I found that this a "HIGH HEAT NYLON FORK" 14" long. High heat resistant to 450F. That's about all the manufacturer's website says.
The fork is dark gray/black. It is fairly rigid, not as flexible as I'd have liked. So I reserve its use for a fork that requires its rigidity. Since it's heat resistant to 450F, it's good for use in boiling liquids, too. If you're not looking for flexibility, then this an OK product for you.

Presto 05511 Quick Burger 400-Watt Nonstick Hamburger Cooker Review

Presto 05511 Quick Burger 400-Watt Nonstick Hamburger Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've only used this appliance a dozen times in a couple of weeks, so it might malfunction tomorrow, but. . .
In the first place, mine heats up very quickly, so I've begun putting my hamburger or sausage in it after about 30-60 seconds. It cooks ground sausage - like Owens brand - like a dream. Hamburger or sausage, you just place a mound of meat in the center and lock down the top. The heating element is only in the top, so if appearance is important to you, flip the patty after a couple of minutes. Sausage is done perfectly, as are the hamburgers. I haven't tried frozen patties, because I prefer the taste of fresh.
Several Months Later Update:
Oh, poor me. This little appliance didn't live up to my expectations (after I bought a second one!) For one thing, the non-stick coating started coming off. Then the handle broke. Too bad. Unfortunately I cannot change the rating to fewer stars, but if I could I would have to reduce it to one star.

In case you haven't read the January issue of Consumer Reports yet, let me summarize: Corning sold Pyrex to World Kitchen, who is using cheaper glass which makes it more likely to shatter from heat. The European Pyrex still uses the traditional Pyrex formula and is as heat-resistant as ever. Consumer Reports says: "We baked at least five samples of each brand in a 450-degree oven. All of the U.S. Pyrex and Anchor dishes shattered when placed on the wet countertop. None of the European dishes ... broke"
