Backyard Classic 36 QT Turkey Deep Fryer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this turkey fryer from sam's club for 67.00 on oct.7, 2010. I cooked my first turkey in it that same night and it was great. The pot was a sturdy aluminum, not like the flimsy pots of some other brands. I'm going to get a bunch of crawfish this weekend and use the basket to boil them.
I would definitely recommend it to others.

Sunpentown SR-1851 1200-Watt Countertop Induction Cooktop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would have given it 5 stars if it was even a little bit less expensive: the price is bound to keep some people from wanting to try it.
Also, if you have a lot of non-ferrous, glass, etc. cookware, read this before buying an induction cooktop!
1. You won't be able to use non-ferrous (non-magnetic) pots and pans. Check your cookware with a magnet before purchasing an induction plate. If they're not magnetic at all, they probably won't work. We use enamel-coated cast iron pots, and they work really well.
2. Cooks much more efficiently than gas or electric (heats up faster, and doesn't shed excess heat in the area not in contact with the pot).
3. Your cooking area doesn't get hot, only the pot and the food do. If you have to cook in the summer, you'll appreciate not having to crank up the A/C.
It has some really great safely features, too: if the pot isn't compatible, or if you remove it, the cooktop starts to beep. If you don't put the pot back (or transfer it to one that works on induction stoves), it turns itself off. It has a sealed top and sealed controls so spills or splatters can't get into the element or the console.
I thought about getting one of these for about 7 months before making the purchase, and now I'm really glad that I did.

Sleek and energy efficient, this convenient cooktop brings the comfort and health benefits of home-cooked foods to the office, dorm room, cabin, or anywhere in need of a portable heat source. Unlike standard electric elements, it supplies an induction heating element, which delivers the same precise control over the heat as with a gas burner, but without the danger of an open flame. The 1200-watt single burner provides warm and cook functions, nine power levels from 260 to 1200 watts, and nine temperature settings that range from 120 to 420 degrees F--perfect for everything from gently soft-boiled eggs to hearty soups, stews, and more. Its ceramic-glass surface creates instant heat to induction-compatible pans, and with the heat turned down will just as quickly decrease the heat to the pan. For added safety, the appliance comes with overheat protection, automatic shut-off protection, and it will stop producing heat if the pan gets accidentally removed from the cooktop. Even more, its magnetic waves have no effect on skin or anything other than iron or steel. Other highlights include an easy-to-clean design that can be wiped down with a damp cloth as needed, a user-friendly push-button control panel with a digital display, and a 99-minute timer that aids in properly cooking all dishes, reducing the risks of overcooking, burning, and waste. The ETL-approved induction cooktop measures 13-3/4 by 11-4/5 by 2-2/3 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Chef'n SleekStor Veggie Steam Silicone Steamer, Cherry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok gang, maybe someone can help me with this one. After seeing the steamer at a friends, I ordered one as soon as I could.
Wonderfully steamed vegetables, no funky tastes, YET! I have yet to be able to remove the steamer without the contents spilling back into the pot, or on the counter. After numerous tries.
When I try to remove the steamer using the two loops, it creates a roll effect that wedges itself into any pot I own, and eventually while tugging, one end slips out, and the contents roll out the other end.
I guess I have to use a stock pot to be able to steam a few sprigs of broccoli. Color me confused...

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 5-Quart Chicken Fryer with Iron Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Being the proud owner of several other Lodge cooking vessels, I boldly tried my hand at frying. All I can say is wow.
The chicken fryer works wonders on chicken, veal, and cube steak. All of the cast iron properties come in to play when using the fryer, and it provides the control and the stability needed when frying foods. The heavy weight gives it stability, and the heat retention properties mean that you can control your cooking efforts more efficiently.
Try the fryer, you won't be disapointed!

Click Here to see more reviews about: Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 5-Quart Chicken Fryer with Iron Cover

Lodge cast-iron cookware has long been admired for its superior heat retention and even heat distribution, but now the company adds another enticement with its Lodge Logic line. All Lodge Logic cookware, including this 5-quart chicken fryer, comes preseasoned via a proprietary "electrostatic" vegetable oil spray system and is ready for cooking right out of the box--unlike traditional Lodge cookware, which needs seasoning in your home oven before use. During the timesaving preseasoning process, oil penetrates deeply into the cast-iron surface while a high-temperature gas oven seals it in, preserving the cookware for generations and creating an attractive heirloom finish.
The chicken fryer measures 12 inches in diameter and 3-1/4 inches deep--an ideal size for not only frying poultry, but also making casseroles, enchiladas, and pan sauces. The vessel is deeper than most skillets, and delivers a smooth, consistent temperature without wasting heat. The pan's esteemed heat retention is especially ideal for slow-cooking recipes that call for tender meats and rich, seasoned flavors. In addition, the underside of the iron lid contains several self-basting tips that encourage the condensed juices to continually remoisten the food, keeping the contents succulent and tasty. With proper care, Lodge Logic cast-iron cookware will last a lifetime. Lodge recommends hand washing the fryer, which carries a lifetime warranty, with a stiff brush and hot water.

Casa Moda "S'mores" Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is awesome! I got the S'mores Maker as a Christmas gift and have completely used up all 3 cans of chafing fuel that I got with the gift. I'm addicted!
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to be able to eat S'mores at any time of the year! I used to make S'mores in the microwave, but the marshmallows always got chewy. This is the perfect solution.

It has a very cute set-up and although I don't really use the little containers for my marshmallows and graham crackers (except when taking fun photos), I do keep my wrapped chocolate bars in there all the time.
At first it took forever to roast my marshmallows until I read the directions (which I should have done in the first place) and saw that there's this neat feature that lets you adjust the flame height. The bigger the flame, the faster your marshmallow roasts. If the flame is too high, your marshmallow is quicker to burn.
As for someone's comment about Sterno not recommending that you cook open food over their flame... that's because certain foods can drip into the flame and cause dangerous flare-ups if you aren't careful. They specifically say that the emissions of the chafing fuel will not cause harm. :)
If you're having trouble finding the chafing fuel, check out the list of places in the FAQ on sterno.com. I'm pretty sure Amazon sells some, too!
Happy roasting!

iPortable Induction Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having owned a 5 zone induction cooktop imported from the UK in my previous home, I was already spoiled and no stranger to the responsiveness, efficiency, and pure power of induction cooking as well as the different brand units out there. I was a tad nervous about plunking down $500 for a single induction burner, however, this little workhorse has proven to be one of the most joyously hard working appliances in this old kitchen being used exclusively now while the archaic smooth top stove sits cool and idle.
The heat settings on this unit are spontaneous and responsive with a range that will shame your pro-gas stove or cooktop for putting a perfect sear on a roast and boiling a large pot of water lightening fast, plus all settings in between that are dead on accurate as well as a setting low enough to be used as a hot plate. And all this can be done anywhere, even outdoors. What a concept!
I highly recommend this Viking cooker if you are considering bringing induction into your home and would like a test drive a unit that is truly top notch and representative of the genre.
***Important to remember with all induction cooktops is your cookware must be ferrous or magnetic. You can test your pots and pan bottoms with an ordinary kitchen magnet. Cast iron and enameled steel work wonderfully on induction and now there are many cookware manufacturers producing lines of stainless steel that are induction capable.

Stovetop Smoker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just tried my stovetop smoker and was amazed at the results. I've used a large outdoor smoker for years, and was skeptical about the stovetop smoker. I used it to prepare chicken breasts, and they cooked fast and were juicy and tender, and had just the right amount of smoke flavor. I'm looking forward to using my stovetop smoker for seafood and vegetables. It's a great way to add flavor to food, and a very healthy way to cook.
The smoker is constructed from heavy steel and is well made. I could smell the smoke as the food cooked, but it wasn't intense and there was no smoke in the house. I'll still use my outdoor smoker for batch cooking or for smoking large birds, but expect to get a lot of use out of the stovetop smoker.

Trudeau Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I loved this little steamer when I first picked it up. It folds gracefully into a dish shape that fits variable width pans, it folds back into a disc for compact storage, the little holes in the metal are nicely spaced and the right width to let enough steam out but not let bits of the food being steamed fall into the boiling water. So far so good.
But, it has a plastic handle and little plastic feet that sit in between it and the inside of the pan you boil water in. When I first saw this I thought: "Huh. Plastic in a high-heat cooking tool. Ah well, it's probably some sort of strong, heat resistant plastic." Well yes, up to the temperature of boiling water, sure. But the temperature of the pan the little feet are sitting on is a bit hot for it. The feet (and part of the handle) actually melted into the metal disk and the bottom of the pan when I left the steamer on for a few minutes after taking out my steamed veggies. The smell of burnt plastic was just awful, and took forever to get rid of. And the pan I had sat the steamer in is now ruined- I'm not going to cook with it now that there are bits of plastic congealed on it and it smells like chemicals.
Conclusion: theoretically good design, but shoddy materials.

Fissler 020 767 00 000 Magic Pan Rest Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For years I've fought with trivets and I've bought dozens of them searching for the perfect one. This is it, no questions asked. It looks great on the table, and really grips both the dish and the table so everything stays put. No spinning casserole dishes or pots that slide away when you try to serve from them...much safer especially with kids around. If you buy two, they will neatly fit together and you can place a very very large serving piece on it. I wish it was a bit cheaper, as the price seemed a bit excessive, but it really is a nifty item and makes a terrific gift for a choosy cook.

Sunpentown SR-1881S 1200-Watt Countertop Induction Cooktop, Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This induction hob is a great addition to any kitchen with Electric, Gas or Halogen cooktops. The hob does not heat up the kitchen as it cooks, cools quickly when you are finished and cooks quickly with instantaneous changes of cooking temperatures.
If you use a skillet to cook your steaks and then move the skillet to the oven to finish the meal, you can sear the steak(s) outside leaving the smoke behind and then move inside to the oven to finish cooking the meal.
If you are looking to cook anywhere, even outside, you can plug into any 110 outlet (2 prong) and start cooking.
The hob comes with a non-stick skillet which is geared to the induction cooking style which works very well.
Buy this and you will never look at your "older" style cooktop / stove the same way.

SousVide Supreme SVS-10LS SousVide Supreme Water Oven 10-L. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You should be careful to distinguish in reviews the commentary on the product itself and the technique of sous vide. Sous vide is simply awesome, and far better chefs than I have proven that. If you haven't experienced it yet, you should spend the $400 on a couple of trips to the French Laundry or Alinea or WD-50 instead. If you already have, then you know what you're looking for, and the real question is how close does this device come to giving the results obtained by a Fischer Scientific immersion circulator.
I was little concerned about whether the device could maintain temperature without circulation. After playing with it and an thermometer, I can tell you that there is some gradient, but it was about a degree, which honestly is perfectly acceptable for food. After bringing it to 135 F and turning it off, 15 hours later it was 95 F, so the insulation works well. Essentially that's all there is to a sous vide machine. I can tell you that my poached eggs are perfect or that the flank steak was unlike any meat I had ever tasted, medium rare, tender, and incredibly beefy, but most of that is due to the technique, and this device competently executes the technique. As far as the user experience goes, it's silly that the lid has an insulation pad instead of built in insulation, you have to hold the button too long to turn in on and off, but the built in handles are cleverly placed.
The only negative review here so far claims that the price is too high for what it is, and compares to a different product. I disagree. For this type of cooking you have 3 choices: high end chemist's rig for $1500, water ovens like this machine, and bubblers and crock pot hacks. Most of us are not willing to spend as much as a high end stove for this, and hacking a crock pot sounds fun until you can't find your soldering iron. The SousVideMagic mentioned explicitly in that review is a bubbler, essentially an immersion circulator without the circulation. With no insulation and no circulation, the temperature gradient will be large. Plus, although the base price is $139, that doesn't count the "1500D controller and an air pump". The whole kit costs $300. It is interesting to note that the same company has also come out with a "water oven" like the SousVide Supreme, and it's $430. Check out the website here: [...] .
Sometimes there's a sweet spot in the price/performance ratio, and this machine is in it.

The SousVide Supreme is the world's first water oven designed specifically to bring the gourmet sous vide cooking method into home kitchens.

Reco International Classic Romertopf 2-5 Pounds Clay Baker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Clay bakers like this were used during the millenia, and still are great for today. Truly a time tested product! Why is called Romertopf? Because Romans used to cook in those. (Romertopf="Roman pot" in German).
I used Romertopfe for years, this one is small, good for two people.
You may consider various sizes for different purposes.
This baker, in case you are not familiar with, goes for 5-10 min in water, in order to soak it, and than to oven, but not preheated. The temperature needs to raise gradually. Food cooks in its own juices, if you choose so, but you can also cook stews, and deserts, or even bake cakes, of course.
The food cooked in Romertopf has amazing flavor, there is truly a difference in dishes cooked the contemporary way, and in this baker. I recommend this product highly. If you want the flavor of dishes of a bistro, this pot for sure will do.

Tayama Slow Cookers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While reading a recently-recommended cookbook for smaller slow cookers, I shopped offline for what the book recommended -- an oval slow cooker around the 1.5 to 2.0 quart range. Oval (instead of round) because the shape fits more typical ingredients such as chicken breasts.
The picture attached to the 1.5qt product looked pretty oval to me, with a wide front face unlike other small slow-cooker product pictures. The title and description also lacked an indication that it is "round" like all the other small slow-cookers.
Well, the picture is just a camera angle, and this product very, very round.
Since it's here, now, I'm using it and it indeed works, so at least 3 stars for that!
