This is a good option for families that don't make too much rice at a time or do not want other functions like steaming veggies.
I have been using this for several months and I cant believe how easy it is to use. The rice comes out excellent each time. You do need to adjust the water recommendations to make the rice suit your likeing. I find that I needed more water with every type of rice...especialy long grained basmati which was downright dry at the top when I used the amt. suggested.
I have a problem with small kitchen appliances because i dont have a lot of storage room. Adding another appliance is always a tough decision. I find that I have been using this enough to warrent the purchase (several times a week). I had a larger unit that had more functions but I found I didn't use the *added functions* enough to make up for the space it took.
This is a great and fairly inexpensive option for people who don't need a huge amount of rice at a time, arent looking for duel functions and have limited space. Its not tiny...but its a reasonable size.

I received this for my bridal shower. I'd registered for the SCRC500-W but apparently, it's no longer available and this model has replaced it. I am most certainly very happy with this product. I made one of my recipes I usually cook on low on the stove top. I prepared it the night before and then in the morning, put it all into the crock pot and set it on low for 10 hours. When I got home, it was perfect. This is the first time I'd ever used a crock pot and I was very happy with the results. I very much love how once it finishes the cooking time, it will kick down to warm. It is a nice even heat that worked so well to make my dish so tender. The crock was extremely easy to clean when I was done. I'll be using this a lot.

Take the guesswork out of cooking meat, chicken, pork and all your slow cooker recipes. The # SCRC507-W feeds 5-6 people and lets you plan ahead with customizable cook times from 30 minutes to 20 hours, with an easy-to-read digital timer that counts down the minutes as your food cooks. When the cook time is done, the slow cooker automatically switches to warm mode to keep your meal at serving temperature. Clean up is easy too, with removable stoneware that doubles as a convenient serving dish complete with a dishwasher-safe glass lid.

Sanyo ECJ-N100F 10-Cup Electronic Rice Cooker and Steamer Review

I purchased this product about a month ago and have used it approximately 4 times. It no longer works. The lights don't come on and the heating element doesn't heat. Amazon's return policy states only a partial refund is available for items that have been used. I can find no customer service phone number on the Amazon site that I can call to discuss this problem with a person. I contacted Sanyo customer service and must send the rice steamer off to a service center somewhere, then wait to get a "fixed" product. What I really want to do is simply return it. This product is not worth the frustration. Buying a small appliance over the internet from a site with no customer service available is a bad idea.

Bayou Classic 0880-PDQ Stainless-Steel Beercan ChickCAN Rack Review

Average Reviews:

I am very happy with this vertical roaster. I've used it dozens of times, and throw it in the dishwasher when I'm done - not even one rust spot.
The accompanying recipe also gets an A+ - I've had several requests for the recipe. It's almost impossible to ruin a bird cooked this way. Even if you overcook, it will still be moist because of the inner steam.
However, it doesn't come with a cup, so you have to either find a glass that fits or use a can. I don't like the idea of superheated aluminum and paint, so luckily I have a glass that fits perfectly.
I use mine in the oven, not the BBQ, though I'm sure it would work well there also. It fits in a pie pan, and I use a glass one. If you don't have a pie pan, you may want to consider buying a roaster which comes with its own pan.
I still give it 5 stars because for what you get, it works beautifully!

Norpro Tin Heat Diffuser Review

Norpro Tin Heat Diffuser

Maybe it's just me... but the stinky, smoking handle problem wasn't an issue with me at all. When the diffuser arrived I unwrapped it and, with a gentle tug, pulled off the wooden handle! It's not like I'm going to be moving it around while I'm cooking on it. The handle would just get in my way on the stovetop, anyway. Without the handle, it stores much easier, too.
These little tin diffusers aren't designed to be used with a burner that's turned all the way up to "high". You'll need a cast iron or solid aluminum one for that kind of heat. If you're just trying to reduce hot spots or using it with a ceramic Moroccan tagine, it's perfect.

If you're cooking a delicate sauce, or melting chocolate, it's imperitave to use really low, gentle heat. This diffuser adds a layer of protection between the burner and the bottom of the pan, yet its perforations do allow heat to get through.

King Kooker 1205 12-Inch Propane Outdoor Cooker Set with Fry Pan Review

I retired my turkey fryer after the last tailgate season. It was costing me almost $25 in peanut oil every time I used it to fry our regular tailgate food (pizza rolls, wings, tenders, fries, etc.). I only used it for turkeys once a year on special occasions.
Anyway I got this as a replacement. It's definitely cut down on my oil costs a lot and I'm still able to get plenty of food cooked in here. My only real problem so far has been that it's tough to reduce the heat w/o losing the flame completely since I can't see the flame through the guard. So I keep it on and the oil gets a little too hot if I don't pay close attention. I don't mind too much though since the guard seems to be letting me light the flame a little easier on the coast of Lake Erie than I could with my previous fryer.
