Krups FEM4B 4-Slice Toaster, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read previous reviews of this and other toasters that I had considered purchasing. I have always had good experiences with Krups, Kitchen Aid, Braun, and Cuisinart products-- in that order. At home, we really enjoy and have had great experiences and reliability from the first two brands in particular.
Many of today's toasters seem more like small ovens, given the amount of wattage output they can deliver. In the case of the toaster, I chose the Krups 4-slice toaster. (The Kitchen Aid was a bit too long for the small amount of counter space that I have in my apartment's kitchen). Both have very wide slots, seemingly designed for bagels and frozen breakfast treats.
I noted that some reviewers had complained that the Krups does not toast evenly. I have used a number of brand name toasters, and one could say the same for all-- especially those with the wider slots.
What I do like about the Krups is that it does do a great job in positioning and holding bread evenly between the heating elements in each slot, which in turn is helpful in evenly toasted bread. Whether the toasting is even depends, I found, on the freshness and size of the bread; also, you should experiment with the heat settings, to determine which is best for you. Larger loaf sizes will bend slightly to one side or the other in the slots; hence, I do not always obtain even toasting of these bread slices.
I am very satisfied with the results that I obtain from the Krups toaster, and recommend it without reservation.

The Krups 4 slice toaster has 1600 watts of power and two independent sets of controls. Each chamber is designed to quickly brown the surface of the bread and retain the soft texture within. The integrated warming tray is easy to clean, removable and dishwasher safe. It quickly warms breads, muffins, pastries, and other baked goods without drying them out. The 8- setting browning selector accommodates all toasting preferences accurately and consistently at all levels. The 3- position metal control lever turns right to toast and left to raise the bread for easy one- handed removal.Bagel function toasts bagels from the cut side while warming the crust while the defrost function warms frozen bread through then toasts. The stop eject button halts the toasting cycle at the touch of a button. Comes with 1-year warranty.

Oster 3210 Electric Nonstick Quesadilla Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I could not do without this product. I have made not only Quesadilla's but also pancakes, omlets, sandwiches, and I am still looking at more recipes. It takes only 2 mintues for a thick pancake compared to on a stovetop. My only negative on this unit is that if you use butter it is very messy and hard to cleanup. If this had removeable plates it would be a 5 star in my book. Well worth the $20 I paid for it.

Bake favorite quesadilla recipes right at home in just minutes with this easy-to-use quesadilla maker. Simply place a flour tortilla on the nonstick grill, then add ingredients like shredded cheese, salsa, and shredded or thinly sliced pieces of cooked meat, poultry, or vegetables. Cover with another flour tortilla, and close the lid. For best results, fillings should be spread as evenly as possible, up to a 1/2-inch from the edge of the tortilla so that the edges can seal together. The countertop appliance works great not only for making quesadillas, but also for soft tacos, omelets, fajitas, pancakes, pita-bread sandwiches, and much more. Remove cooked items using a plastic or wooden spatula to help protect the nonstick surface. An automatic "ready" light indicates when the unit has reached the correct cooking temperature, and cool-touch handles makes it possible to raise or lower the lid without the need for an oven mitt. To clean, wipe the lid, base, and cooking plates with a damp cloth and towel dry. The unit can be compactly stored using the convenient cord-storage compartment and by standing it in a vertical position. The quesadilla maker measures approximately 12-1/5 by 9-3/5 by 4-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Chicago Metallic Commercial Bake N' Roast Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing feels like a WWII landing craft. It's heavy, not pretty, but it sure gets the job done. This pan could be around long after the end of life as we know it.
Just keep it clean and dry. Don't let it soak in water or you might be sorry. All these products seem to season like cast iron. The more you use them the darker they get and the slicker they feel as the pores of the metal seal. Be sure to use a baking spray or oil and flour to keep the sticking down.

Designed to meet the exacting standards of commercial bakers and gourmet bakers who prefer traditional baking on uncoated pans. The uncoated surface offers good reflectivity for even dispersion of heat -- which means more consistent, even baking and gradual browning. After repeated use, darkening of the metal will actually enhance baking performance.The aluminized steel finish combines the durability, strength, and superior heat conduction of steel with the corrosion-resistance of an aluminum-silicone alloy. Precise, proprietary "folding" technology is the key to the unique construction and strength of the pan; steel is folded over at the ends, which triples the corner thickness and reinforces the rim. A wire rod is curled inside the rim for extra strength and warp-resistance.Size: 9 × 13Dimensions: 13"L × 9"W × 2¼"DMaterials: Heavy-weight aluminized steelCare: Dishwasher safeWarranty: 25 yearsProduct of China

Dualit 25375 Lite 2-Slice Toaster, Soft Touch Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent toaster. We went through a series of cheapo toasters from Walmart or wherever and I could never get good results. Was it too much to ask that both sides of the bread be toasted evenly from top to bottom with one cycle of the toaster? You think that would be a no brainer but apparently it's difficult for the el'cheapo brands to accomplish. This Dualit toaster gets the job done though. The bagel setting is great too. It toasts the cut face of the bagel perfectly while not burning the rest. I can toast pretty much everything between settings 2 and 3. Why it goes all the way to 8 I can't imagine. Perhaps if I need to start a fire on a short time delay I can stick some pop-tarts in there on 8 and then run away.
Anyway, you can do worse than buy this toaster. I highly recommend it.

Combining simplicity and style with an array of features, this two-slice toaster's high wattage ensures fast, crisp toasting.

The toaster has a high-polish polypropylene body and a polished stainless-steel cover, which not only is nice looking, but is also easy to clean. The toaster measures 6-2/3 by 10-2/3 by 7-7/8 inches.

I went to the local restaurant supply stores and handled several brands and sizes to see what felt best. The Henckels Pro S 8" was the best. The 10" seemed top heavy but I'm sure someone else may feel different.The blade holds an incredible edge as well. I steel the blade before each use to keep the edge in the best cutting condition.

Tupperware Rectangular Cake Taker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great cake taker. The old Tupperware cake taker had a handle that was separate. I could never keep up with where I put it. This one has the handle attached. That is a good idea. I also like the way that the other side of the base has a place to put cupcakes so they will not slide around. I used it today to bring my cupcakes to the office party. It makes a great presentation too. This is perfect for mothers to send cupcakes to their children's class for holiday parties. It's great for cakes. You can travel with them and not worry about the cake getting destroyed. If you do not like to bake, you can purchase a cake from your local bakery and keep it fresh in this cake taker. Everyone needs to have one of these. The Round Cake Taker is also very nice.

Black & Decker T4030 4-Slice Toaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned this toaster for about two months now and am very pleased with the toast I get from it. It seems to be almost impossible to find a toaster these days that will toast bread evenly and consistently. This one not only does the job, but is also reasonably priced.
I have used the "bagel" setting for English muffins and it works well, toasting just the inside surface of the muffin while warming the crust side. Bread is evenly toasted on both sides. It doesn't matter which slot I use, the toast is consistently the same degree of "brown." Each pair of slots has its own set of controls, so you can toast to different degrees of "brown" at the same time. The "frozen" setting works with frozen bread as it should. In short, this toaster does exactly what it's supposed to.
I have only two criticisms. First, it takes a long time to get the job done. That is ameliorated somewhat by the fact that there are four slots, making it twice as fast as a two-slot toaster. To toast bread to a medium-brown takes about 3:30 (minutes:seconds) on setting number five. The settings go to six, which yields a smoking, almost black, piece of toast after 4:30. If you want your toast truly black, you'll have to use the "frozen" setting.
My other criticism is its size. Check the dimensions and make sure that you can live with them. This toaster is large.
Edit: I have found one more criticism, but it still doesn't affect my opinion that this is an excellent toaster. When the toast pops up, it isn't raised high enough. The toaster will allow you to lift the toast another half-inch or so, but unless you are toasting a full-sized piece of bread (think English muffin) you will not be able to reach it without a tool. This is an annoyance, but I just stab the muffin with my butter knife and pull it out.
All in all, an excellent toaster. I'd buy it again.

Bagel Guillotine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While I don't consider this a kitchen essential, it is definitely one of the "nice to have" items. Our family goes through quite a few bagels a week, and cutting them with the guillotine and then freezing them makes life a lot easier. My kids are older and can use a knife, but I prefer they use the guillotine so as not to risk life and limb! My only complaint is I wish the product were available in black to match my kitchen decor.

M. Kamenstein, Inc. Natural Wood Banana Hanger 9x6-in. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Lasted about a month. Then the hook broke off. The metal of the hook looks soft and brittle, not even the same quality as a common hardware variety hook.
Also the stand has an annoying habit of disassembling itself when one lifts the banana off the hook.
Also the little hook looks cute, but seems poorly angled to make hanging and unhanging a bunch of bananas easy.
Guess I am not impressed with the function of this product.

Sunbeam 3823-100 4-Slice Wide Slot Toaster, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am not a toast expert that many seem to be regarding reviews. All I wanted was a toaster that did a good job. First tried a Dualit ($108), and returned it since many of the elements either with not heating equally, or were not lit up at all. Then I tried just a two-slice Kitchen Aid ($70). It worked OK, but the housing was so big, there was almost 2 inches from the front of the toaster to the edge of the toast opening. I returned it too, really wanting a 4 slice. I took a chance on the Sunbeam, have had it for about 3 months, and it toasts very good. I found it toasted the edges better when you laid the bread down, rather than standing it up. I have not tried the bagel option yet. It has consistently toasted the bread the same each time at the same setting. I have been setting it at 4.5. I also like the "interrupt" button just below the setting knob. Just a light touch pops the toast up. I had a previous toaster where I had to push very hard to make it work (sometimes!)

VillaWare V5955 Grand Wrap Tortilla and Flatbread Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my mother last year for Christmas. Shortly after we tried to make corn tortillas for quesadillas and had a relatively poor experience. There it sat for almost a year until last weekend we were going to make Three Cheese Enchilada Casserole. I decided to give this thing another shot and this time I finally got it to work and it is even more incredible than I imagined. Perfectly thin tortillas every time! We made around ten with no blowups (anyone who has used this certainly has blown up at least one tortilla while learning to use this thing).
The first and possibly most important aspect of this is to use more water while making your corn dough. You don't want it soggy but that really won't hurt you as long as it can be formed into a ball and is not mush. For your first few attempts you might want to shoot for too wet of dough.
Roll up a ball and place it into the center. Slowly close the top part over the ball and press down a bit. Then use the large handle to slowly flatten the dough, but just a little. Do not attempt to close this thing all the way, you'll blow up the tortilla and make a mess. Look into the gap on the side of the press to monitor your progress. What you are trying to do is get it to be somewhat flattened but still pretty thick... Let it sit ten seconds or so. This will start to cook the tortilla and get it used to the heat, while removing excess moisture.
After you've had the dough heating up and some of the moisture steaming out, try to flatten it a bit. How much you flatten it depends on the moisture of your dough and how much dough you are using. GO SLOW! You will definately want to rotate the tortilla before trying to press it all the way down. GO SLOW! If you ever start going too fast, you'll ruin it. Patience is a virtue!
Keep turning and slowly pressing further and further until you've gotten the handle down as far as it will go. If you can get to this point, pat yourself on the back. If you've got some minor seperation in your tortilla you can get rid of it towards the end by applying as much pressure as you can, this will flatten the tortilla out and start to close some of those gaps. However if you havent gotten enough moisture out of the tortilla and you try this, it will blow up.
Making a thin flawless corn tortilla is an art, not a science. You have to be patient and not try to rush the dough flat, unless you want to ruin your tortilla. After about a half hour I had ten near perfect tortillas. It was quite an accomplishment given our failure to make even one decent tortilla the year before.
Now that I know this thing works, I'm definately buying one of my own ASAP. Fresh made corn tortillas are so much better store bought flour tortillas and are also better for you. I highly recommend this appliance to those who are up to the challenge!

Taylor Digital Measuring Cup and Scale Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Received this item yesterday. I was a bit skeptical, but I measured out water in my regular glass measuring cup and then poured it into the Taylor Digital measuring cup and it was accurate. I repeated this experiment several times using different amounts of water. You do need to put it on the water mode. (Simple to do)
Next, I put it on flour mode. I measured out one cup in a dry measuring cup. I tamped it down quite hard and it measured 1 1/8 cup on the digital scale. I thought "Oh NO!". But I realized I had tamped it down too much so I re-measured in the regular dry measuring cup and then dumped that in the digital and it measured exactly at 1 cup.

Just to be clear, I measured items first in regular dry and liquid measuring cups to just test the accuracy of this item. Now that I am satisfied that it is accurate, I will just measure only with this digital scale (not measuring in other cups first).
I think this is a great idea. It has the water mode, oil mode, milk mode, flour mode, sugar mode and a regular digital scale mode so you can measure whatever you want in this cup.
This item turns off automatically after 5 minutes if it is not being used.
I like the easy to read aspect of this. Having older eyes, it is easy to read.
I would definitely recommend this digital measuring cup. It is a good size. Probably would handle any measuring job you would have.
11/08/09 - updated. I love this digital measuring cup even more than I did when I first received it in September. I have now figured out that this has a TARE function so that you can measure one item in there and then tare out the measurement, add another ingredient (and it will measure only that new ingredient) and you can keep adding in more ingredients into this one large measuring cup. It is very handy. No more countertop full of dirty measuring cups. Then I just stir it all up in the cup and pour the batter into a baking pan. Could not be simpler.
Also, you can hold down the on button for several seconds and it will automatically turn off the digital scale.
Love this item!
