Brabantia 333941 3-1/2-Liter Biscuit Barrel, Matte Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very British and I use them for cookies which we call biscuits in the UK. They are for crackers so I might get another. There are little round capsules that you wet in the lid for keeping moisture out, pretty good idea.

Beautifully housed in matte steel, this 3-1/2-liter biscuit barrel provides an ideal place to store crackers, cookies, biscuits, and more. The unit features a built-in moisture-absorbing capsule, which helps keep food crisp and fresh over a long period of time. Briefly dry the capsule in a hot oven every now and then for peak performance; a handy reminder can be set to indicate how long it's been since the last drying. For added convenience, the container's matte-black easy-to-remove lid supplies an airtight seal, and its metal-wire loop handle makes it easy to transport snacks from the kitchen to the back deck or to a friend's house for game night. The biscuit barrel measures 6-3/5 by 6-3/5 by 7-4/5 inches.

Pinzon Stainless-Steel Mandoline Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this as a gold box item, thankfully, because otherwise I would have returned it. All I use it for is to slice onions thinly. I've used the straight blade less than 10 times and it is already dull. I read the reviews for the previous Pinzon mandoline which were universally terrible but I also read that Amazon had taken that model off the market and replaced it with this one which was supposed to be much better but my complaint is the same as the other model. Also the slices get stuck in the machine. I had better luck with my plastic V-slicer. I gave the mandoline 2 stars because it does have a lot of attachments and is easy to use but it is difficult to clean and doesn't serve its main purpose, to slice!
Update 2/29/08: I now absolutely hate this product. The straight blade has completely dulled. The food slices get caught under the mandoline by the blades that are turned to dice the food rather than slip out to the bowl or plate underneath. Make sure you use the food holder to slice because the blade is so dull, the food slips and you will get cut. This mandoline is going in the trash. I won't even donate it because I'm afraid someone will get hurt.

Newly designed blades on Pinzon's mandoline create precise, uniform slices of fruits or vegetables, making food prep a breeze. The set includes 4 blade attachments for waved, rough, fine, and smooth cuts. An easy-grip side knob adjusts cutting thickness, so making quick changes and maintaining control is a snap. Blades slide easily into and out of the side slot, making quick work of all slicing jobs. The mandoline is constructed of durable 18/10 stainless steel with a sturdy plastic knob and is best cared for with hand washing. It measures 20-3/4 inches long by 8-1/4 inches wide, and easily stores flat in a drawer.

Wilton / Copco Ice Cream Scoop - Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used to think that my Pampered Chef scoop was "the bomb" b/c of the liquid inside that warms up and helps the scoop cut into the ice cream. This doesn't have that & doesn't need it! The design is perfect. The corners of the scoop dig into the ice cream effortlessly. You will love it!

EasyLunchboxes 3-compartment Food Containers (Set of 4) and EasyLunchboxes Insulated Lunch Cooler Bag,olive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are great! I bought 2 sets of them for my kids at the beginning of the school year, and they have turned out to be the best lunch boxes ever. Plenty of room for food, easy to clean, and the food isn't squished or mangled by lunch time. The container trays have held up well to normal use (2 didn't survive my youngest child throwing them as high as she could into the air to land on pavement-why she did this I don't know.) I've washed the fabric tote many times, and it's still great. Wished I had these years ago. Such an easy concept, but such a time saver.
I'll get 3 new ones before school starts next year. One for me too:)

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Stockpot with Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this 12qt stockpot with a pasta insert and cover, and I couldn't be more pleased. The pot is beautifully made, with very confortable handles (another reviewer noted the finger grips -- a nice touch) and the lid fits perfectly.
I used it for the first time to cook 2 chickens and make stock. Both chickens fit easily in the pot, yet allowed enough space for adequate water. It was very easy to bring the pot to a boil and then reduce to a very slow simmer, just a bubble or two breaking the surface. I used the simmer burner on my gas stove, and for the first time was able to maintain a simmer with the lid tightly on. With my old stockpot (large enough for only one chicken) even with the simmer burner at the lowest setting I could not maintain a simmer with the lid tightly on the pot.
The pasta insert made it a breeze to remove the chickens when they were cooked, and reduce the stock while I picked the meat off the bones and returned the bones to the pot in the insert to cook longer, more fully flavoring the broth. Removing the insert removed the bones and other parts, making straining the stock a simple one-step process. This same process with the pasta insert will make blanching vegetables from the garden MUCH easier and faster, and I'm looking forward to freezing the veggies from next summer's garden.
The pot is weighty and solid, yet With a full pot of water I can still lift and carry it, which I could never manage with an All-Clad 12qt stockpot.
I like this pot so much I just today ordered the Chef's Classic 7 piece set with bonus 2 1/2 qt sautee pan. I can hardly wait to have a lobster feed and sacrifice some of Maine's finest lobsters in this pot, served with sides cooked up in pots from my new set. I highly reccomend this stockpot and this cookware line.

Oggi Two-Tone Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl with Airtight Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really wanted to like these bowls. They were a great price and a good weight for a nice and sturdy mixing bowl. The lids fit nicely as well. However, the first time I stored food in one of the bowls overnight it formed rust spots that would not come off. I cleaned the next bowl (I ordered three sizes) right away and left it to dry in the dish drainer. It too formed rust spots. I have a cheap stainless steel bowl from a big box store that has never formed rust spots in three years so this poor quality is unacceptable.

LunchBots Duo Stainless Steel Lunch Box/Food Container Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased two of these "lunch box duo" systems for my preschooler's lunches, and I bought two of the "Oval Stainless Steel Systems" sold by another company. I wanted to avoid dangers of plastics as much as possible. I did not know which I would like more and which would work better for my needs.
Comparison:
Both arrived at the same time. However, I prefer the "oval stainless steel system" to the "lunch box duo" hands down. I won't boast about the other one in this review because that's tacky. I will just simply point out what I liked and didn't like about the duo.
Postive:
Duo arrived on time.
Lid fits well
$5.00 cheeper than the oval stainless steel system.
Negative:
The compartments are small and since they are fixed, it's limiting.
The tack welding on the divider created rough points on the ouside of the container. Yikes!
Shallow dish.
The tack welding issue is my biggest complaint and is prompting me to return it and give it 3 stars. I don' think the rough points would cut my daughter, but it's terrible that the steel is so thin that when they welded in the divider it created rough bumps on the outside. I worry about the tacking coming loose and or getting work. Also, It appears as if food could get lodged under the divider inbetween the tack welding. I am keeping the other product and returning this one. : (

Tupperware Smidget Container 1oz Set of 5 Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are great containers. At first, I was very disappointed in how poorly of a fit the lid and container were. But I decided to try them anyway, and proceeded to sanitize them properly.
Being a chef for six years has taught me many things. One of which, you should always boil new plastic containers for at least a minute (best at 5 minutes) to remove any contaminants from manufacturing. We get enough plastics and other chemicals in our diets already. And if you are buying for your kid's lunches like I did, you should do this purely for your family's sake.
The trick to plastic containers with fitted lids is that after you boil them in plain tap water for at least one minute:
1. Remove from boiling water using a pair of tongs or a slotted spoon.
2. Tip the container/lid so most of the water drains back into the pot.
3. Immediately find it's matching container/lid from the pot, and after draining it as well, put the two pieces together.
4. Allow to cool.
5. The lid and container should now be a much better fit. They might still be snug, but should be much easier on your fingers.
Don't take my word for it though. Please only try one at first to make sure it works as well for you as it does for me.
I hope this helps everyone purchasing this product.
