Presto 05411 GranPappy Electric Deep Fryer Review

Presto 05411 GranPappy Electric Deep Fryer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have just ordered another Fry-Daddy. This will be the third one that I have had over the years. It is lighweight and is just a pot that holds oil as someone said. It is so convenient and not heavy, it makes it easy to store if you do not have countertop room. There are all kinds of deep fryers, but none that does a better job than this one. I would recommend it to anyone.

Well, I bought one of these 8 cup rice cookers, and the instructions are totally nonsense. Of course the disclaimers make sense, but c'mon, if my wife can't figure them out, nobody will. But, there is always the 'mystery cook.' throw in the rice, add water, turn on, cover pot. sure would be nice to have decent instructions.

West Bend 84396 6-Quart Oval Electronic Crockery Cooker, Stainless Steel Review

West Bend 84396 6-Quart Oval Electronic Crockery Cooker, Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this slow cooker almost a year ago and have been very happy with it. I spent a good couple of weeks looking over reviews and asking family and friends for recommendations before I invested in a slow cooker - I wanted one that would last and I didn't need all of the fancy features that a lot of the newer models are offering.
This West Bend is easy to use, easy to clean, and (after almost a year) I've had no problems to speak of. The stainless steel look is great, the ceramic insert is nice and heavy, and the lid fits snugly. It does have a timer feature - which you can only set by the hour - which I would say is the only down side. There is a definite difference between the low and high heat settings. Personally I cook most things on low (it is a SLOW cooker), I only switch to high when I'm in a hurry or need to thicken up a stew or stroganoff. I've tried cooking a number of different things in this slow cooker and everything always comes out great!
It was definitely worth looking around and reading reviews on other appliances before I settled on this one. The price was right and it works wonderfully. I don't own any other West Bend products (I'm usually a KitchenAid girl) but this was definitely a good choice.
Highly recommend it!

Two cooking modes are in this 6 quart oval electronic crockery cooker, a programmable mode where you cook with a selection of cooking time and a simple mode where you cook without a selection of cooking time. The unit has three settings, keep warm, lo and hiplus an operating light to let you know the unit is on. The large 6 quart capacity is ideal for family size meals and the removable crock doubles as a serving dish. Clean up is easy with the crock and glass cover being dish washer safe.

King Kooker KKDFF30T 30-Inch Dual-Burner Outdoor Propane Frying Cart Review

King Kooker KKDFF30T 30-Inch Dual-Burner Outdoor Propane Frying Cart
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This fryer is junk, to begin with it was short parts and the pans were bent because of shabby packageing and cheap box. When cooking with it you have to keep adjusting the heat as it won't hold an even tempature, one pan will get hot and the other too cold, you adjust it and it goes the other way, one reason for this is the paper thin pans that won't hold any heat. The directions for assembly are very scant. Again this fryer is junk, I will not recommend to anyone.

Click Here to see more reviews about: King Kooker KKDFF30T 30-Inch Dual-Burner Outdoor Propane Frying Cart

Ideal for picnics, potlucks, neighborhood block parties, and other outdoor events, this 30-inch propane cart features two 54,000-BTU cast burners and recessed framing that firmly supports the two included rectangular-shaped aluminum fry pans. The cooker provides one frying basket that fits neatly inside one of the fry pans, plus two smaller frying baskets that fit side by side in the other fry pan for cooking up French fries, chicken wings, onion rings, and more. Heat-resistant loop side handles on the pans ensure safe transport, while long, heat-resistant handles on the frying baskets make it easy to safely lower or raise food from hot oil, keeping hands and arms a safe distance from splatters and potential burns. The CSA-certified unit attaches to its fuel source with LP hoses and a regulator outfitted with a type-1 connection (propane tank sold separately). Even more, each burner supplies a brass needle valve for individual flame control, which makes it easy to gently fry fragile doughnuts or dumplings on one side while preparing crunchy drumsticks or deep-fried corn dogs on the other. Additional highlights include two deep-fry thermometers for checking oil temperatures at a glance, durable construction, and two smooth-rolling wheels for simple transport. The UL-listed outdoor propane cart measures approximately 19-3/5 by 24 by 32-2/7 inches.

This pot is lightweight stainless steel. The bottom scorched through, (blackened) on it's first use. I used it on my stove's 16,000 BTU burner, but that has not been a problem for my other cookware. The fried chicken it produced was good, but I'm sure this pot can't stand up to heavy use. Buy it only for occasional use. If you plan to fry alot, buy a basket for your dutch oven or buy a commercial aluminum fry bottom/basket.

Black & Decker RC436 16-Cup Rice Cooker, White Review

Black and Decker RC436 16-Cup Rice Cooker, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My Salton rice cooker finally gave out after 8 years of use, and I replaced it with the Black & Decker Rice Cooker Plus. The good points are it is quite easy to use and can cook rice quite well. The disappointment to me is the cleanup.
Having used the Salton, I am accustomed to the starchy steam these types of cookers produce but I find this cooker to be messier than my Salton was. It "spits" all over its top, handles and even the surrounding coutertop are and floor (I have to line with paper towels to catch some of the sputter). I've tried rinsing the rice first and the performance was the same.
It is a big plus that the rice container itself is nonstick, but the lid takes some scrubbing, not just a light wash. I suppose this is a good value for the price I paid (under $30), but I think I may be upgrading soon to avoid that sticky mess.

Take the guesswork out of making perfect rice with this easy-to-use rice cooker. The handy appliance offers an 7-cup uncooked-rice capacity and can produce up to 16 cups of cooked rice at a time--great when gathering with friends or cooking for the whole family. Simply add dry rice, measure in the water, and turn the unit on. Once the rice has fully cooked, the appliance automatically switches over to keep-warm mode, which maintains an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking. In addition, the unit's see-through glass lid keeps in heat and moisture and makes it possible to check on food without releasing steam, while its dishwasher-safe nonstick cooking pan makes cleanup a snap. Other highlights include "cook" and "warm" indicator lights, steam vents and a condensation catcher, a stay-cool lid knob and side handles for comfortable transport, and a modern-looking design that will look nice on any kitchen counter. A rice scoop that stores on board and a measuring cup come included. The rice cooker measures approximately 10 by 10 by 8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Tayama Rice Cookers Review

Tayama Rice Cookers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This rice cooker is very pretty and compact. It cooks rice well and has a nonstick lining. The manufacturer gives instructions on how to take care of the nonstick lining and we followed it. During normal use though, as the rice cooker boils for multiple periods of time, the lining also bubbles and permanent bumps develop at the bottom of the bowl. Then the lining flakes off. The manufacturer doesn't comment on this fact and just offers to sell you another replacement bowl for $10. We have had this rice cooker for around 2 years.

Proctor-Silex 34101 Fifth Burner Review

Proctor-Silex 34101 Fifth Burner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We got this to replace a burner bought off the shelf. It died within the first week. I have been much happier with the results for this burner as a replacement for our dead stove. In fact, it heats up faster that our stove used to. Produces good heat quickly and has worked well in almost all situations.
The only issue I have is with what seems to be an overtemp safety because it will cycle itself on and off. A pot will get hot quickly but it also seems to senses that the pot is still there and hot, and decides to take a rest or turner off the burner for 15-30 sec while things in your pot stop boiling. It seems to come back quickly to reheat again, but cooking with an even hear is lost as the burner cycles on/off.

Zojirushi NS-RNC10 Automatic 5.5-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer Review

Zojirushi NS-RNC10 Automatic 5.5-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Zojirushi cooker (both our old and this new one) does a splendid job cooking white and brown rice to the right consistency if properly prepared. The stay warm feature is great! We can cook a full pot of rice and leave it in the cooker for a couple of days and it stays warm and fresh. [Of course, you need to be careful to use common sense precautions to make sure you don't cause an environment where bacteria breed (i.e., like using unclean serving utensils).] The price may seem a little steep, but since we will use it nearly every day for years (like to old one), it's well worth the price.
We had used a 10 cup Zojirushi rice cooker/warmer for about four years until I damaged the nonstick liner by rinsing rice in it (oops!). When I contacted the company to see about getting a replacement liner, I was told it was $50 plus shipping! After an internet search, I found this 5.5 cup Zojirushi for a nominal amount more money.
We eat a lot of rice - almost daily, but honestly, a 5.5 cup cooker is just the right size for a family of 4 to 6. (We had never made 10 full cups of uncooked rice in the old cooker.) My mom's the connoisseur of rice brands - her rice always comes out perfect each time. Also over the many years she's cooked rice - what use to take some time and constant watching on the stove to get the perfect rice, the cooker/warmer does very efficiently without the worry of burning the rice.
As additional info for those who don't cook much rice, we use to cook white rice but now we cook brown rice. Took getting use to the switch to brown rice, but now we prefer it. We soak the brown rice for about 1/2 to 2 hours in water before cooking it and add a little more water than for white rice. (I believe the recipe that comes with the cooker says this.) It's not as difficult as I'm probably making it out. And, finally, you want to make sure you don't use metal utensils, abrasive cleaners, or abrasive scouring pads in the non-stick liner (or wash your rice in it!) to prolong its life.

Cuisinart CRC-400 4-Cup Rice Cooker Review

Cuisinart CRC-400 4-Cup Rice Cooker

It's easy to clean and sure looks great on your countertop!
Positive feedback stops here.
I made a mess out of cooking rice (all the negative reviews are true) until I figured that I should use slightly less water than the recommended quantity. After that, I spent 1 year using it nonstop (we eat rice every day).
365 days later, the non-stick bowl is BADLY chipped, like little bubbles that burst on the bottom and left pinhead-sized chips. I swear that I never used anything else than the included plastic scoop (and sponge for cleaning) and never ever scratched it, so I'm 100% sure the non-stick coating quality is to blame.
Add to that that non-stick coating is toxic*, this baby is out of my kitchen as soon as I can afford a Zojirushi. They're not as elegants, but they last forever.For more info on teflon toxicity, visit http://www.ewg.org

Hamilton Beach 33163 Stay Or Go 6 Quart Oval Slow Cooker Review

Hamilton Beach 33163 Stay Or Go 6 Quart Oval Slow Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have owned many slow cookers; all which were given to me, also they were typically hand me downs. This is the first cooker that I have actually bought. For me, this cooker does a great job, it does not cook any better or worse than the other cookers I have had, but it is larger and has a few nice features. 1, it has a sealed lid than can be tightly connected for travel (the other night we moved 5 quarts of hot pasta sauce to my sister-in-law's house. There was sauce all over the inside of the lid, but none of the sauce made it out). 2, It comes with a plastic spoon; nothing special about the spoon, but it attaches to the lid for travel. 3, there is a lid rest that allows you to set the lid to the side without setting it on your counter. 4, the side handles have a rubber coating , are securely attached and extend quite a way from the side of the cooker (which is good because it gets hot). This cooker did not come with the carry case, but there are versions that do. Those versions cost more than the $28.00 that this one cost me.
Some reviews go own about the cookers being too hot on the low setting. I put 4 quarts of water in the cooker. After 6 hours, the water temp was 208 degrees. I don't know if that is good or bad, but I don't think it should boil (212 degrees)on the low setting.
The cooker is roughly 13.5 pounds (on my scale)
I measures approximately 10.5" tall by 17' wide by 13" deep.
It cleans up well, the crock is removable and dishwasher safe. The exterior is stainless steel;I use a stainless polish on my appliances. The cord is not detachable.
I believe this is a great little cooker, it has Off, High, low, and warm settings. It does not have the fancy electronic controls and timers that some of the more expensive units have, but I kind of like the reliability of the switch style controls.
Perhaps the feet on the bottom of the cooker could be a little better than the protruding metal dimples. It slides very easily (maybe too easy) across the counter.

This is a really great, basic rice cooker. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of the more expensive rice cookers (no warming feature, no different settings, etc.), but it works well for cooking rice, it's compact, and reasonably priced. Prior to buying this one, we had another basic model made by another company that broke. We replaced with an identical one, and it broke as well. After going through two rice cookers, we decided to pay $5 more to get a different brand- this Panasonic. We have had no problems with it, and we also like the non-stick pot. With our old rice cooker, the rice would stick to the bottom of the pot, so we couldn't eat all of it. The Panasonic doesn't have this problem, so we can make smaller quantities of rice without wasting most of it. I have made white rice, brown rice, and quinoa in the rice cooker, and all have turned out well.
