Amco 6-Quart Stainless-Steel Mixing Bowl Review

Amco 6-Quart Stainless-Steel Mixing Bowl
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I should've listened to the previous reviewer. I'm not sure how these bowls are normally measured, but even though it claims a 6-quart capacity, in my tests using a liquid measuring cup, this bowl only holds up to 19 cups (4.75 quarts) before spilling over, which of course is an impractical level to fill a bowl. So 4 quarts is probably more accurate, and even then I'd be worried about mixing stuff over the edge depending on what's in it.
In spite of this, I've happily used it to mix dough and fillings, and as part of a makeshift double boiler with a 3qt pot. It's a sturdy stainless steel mixing bowl with a flat bottom and a brushed metal appearance, nothing special. It doesn't have a rubber bottom like some brands, but you can always put a rubber mat or damp kitchen towel under it if that bothers you. Just make sure you aren't actually planning on putting more than a gallon of stuff in it at one time.

The first bowl you'll reach for when whipping up a birthday cake or a batch of frosting, this stainless-steel bowl is especially useful when working with ingredients that should stay chilled. Simply pop the bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before

What fun! Now my mixer can be upgraded to look like Alton Brown's! I'd tried the decals designed for cars and it just didn't work. Thanks for these decals just for my KitchenAid mixer. I bought a set for me and for a friend who is also an Alton Brown fan.

This decal itself is made well, though I would appreciate some more instructions and tips on applying it to my kitchenaid. I put it on too close to the front curve and it wrinkled up in the front, so I tried taking it off and of course the adhesive didn't work as well. Then I bought a bottle of spray adhesive to fix it and must not have been slow enough peeling it off and it ripped this ugly jagged tear. So I stopped totally and have resigned myself to leaving it on and smoothing down the edges EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have 5 kids and plenty else to do as we just moved across the country, so I have yet to carefully peel it off and attempt to get my money back. I would like to try again, but I'm afraid if I damage it further, I am out the 20 bucks+ that I paid, and I'd rather have it on than not. Sad, huh?
It's worth the money b/c you can't find anything like the flames anywhere else, but if you want turtles or something like those white decals you put in car windows from Wal-Mart or wherever, you could get those cheaper or the same price. If you do buy it, go slow and don't try to make it curve over the front unless you plan well and overlap it slowly. And get some spray adhesive to strengthen it.
Overall, I'd try one more time (when I get the time), and call my problems me being impatient, but I stand by the need for better directions.

Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer Review

Taylor Digital Instant-Read Pocket Thermometer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just a quick note, this is an almost instant read thermometer. On average, it takes between 2-4 seconds for a final accurate reading. However, DO NOT TURN IT ON UNTIL YOU HAVE IT INSERTED. I read plenty of reviews stating it takes 30 seconds to record. If you turn it on, it will start at the temperature of the room and crawl up slowly (usually only a few degrees at time). This will be quite frustrating and useless.
Remember, insert it, then turn it on...and BINGO, you are in business.

Most professional chefs have a thermometer tucked in a jacket pocket, and if it works for them, perhaps you should try it too!

Regency Wraps Rolling Hills Rolling Pin Rings Review

Regency Wraps Rolling Hills Rolling Pin Rings
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These rings fit on a 1" rolling pin and as well stretch to fit a 3" rolling pin (the ad claims up to 4"- but that would be stretching it a bit.) The stretchiness means that the bigger in diameter your rolling pin- the thinner the dough for a given set of rings.
These rings only produce accurate thickness results as stated in the ad if used on on a 1" diameter rolling pin.
The dimensions stated in the ad are Set of 4 pairs: 1/16" (red), 1/8" (yellow), 1/4" (green), and 3/8" (blue) thicknesses.
On anything over a 1" rolling pin, they produce uniform sheets of dough- but not at the thickness indicated on the bag. On my 3" rolling pin the yellow rings gave me a hair under 1/16" -not the 1/8" you might expect from the ad.
Luckily all i needed these for was "additional" thickness for my 3" pin which already had a couple of older rings on them (I stacked the rings).
I can now turn out a neat 3/32" cracker without too much problem.
Also seems a bit pricey for what are essentially large elastic bands- but then I couldn't find what I needed anywhere else!

Even the most novice home baker can roll dough to perfect thickness using these smart rolling pin rings. Great for cookies, pie crusts, puff pastries, biscuits and more, the rings keep rolling pins at a precise distance from dough, so the dough rolls evenly. Sold here in a set of 8, the set comes with 4 different sizes (4 levels of thickness): 1/16-inch, 1/8-inch, 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch. Simply choose the set of rings for desired thickness, place on any standard rolling pin (not included) and roll the dough. Made of durable and long lasting rubber, the rings need hand washing for care.

Seki Magoroku Series 8-Inch Bread Knife Review

Seki Magoroku Series 8-Inch Bread Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Folks, take a look at the price of the Shun bread knife. Now realize that that the same company makes this knife in the same way and the price become even better. The same scalloped shape as the Shun is offered in the Seki Magoroku line. The quality in this line is even higher than the Wasabi line.
I think the reason people may not go for these knives is that the handles are wood. That means that the handles shouldn't get very wet and the knives must be washed by hand. Unless you're cutting a bunch of wet bread, I don't see how this should be a problem.
This is a great value! See other Seki Magoroku reviews for reference.
