Braun WK200W Aqua Express Electric Water Kettle, White Review

Braun WK200W Aqua Express Electric Water Kettle, White

Not only does this improve upon the standard stove-based kettle, but it improves upon the previous generation of fixed-cord electric kettles.
The separation of kettle and corded base allows the former to be taken to the sink (or refrigerator if you're boiling pitcher-filtered water) without bother. It makes pouring at the table or in another room easy, as well. The cord can be wound inside the base so that only the needed length is exposed - neatening your countertop. The base has a "360-degree rotational connection," which means that you don't have to align the kettle in any particular way when replacing it. No buttons to press, no connector to snap.
The handle and kettle shell stay cool, obviating the need for a hot pad when picking it up, and the single control is as simple as can be: press it to start and it turns itself off when the water boils. If you forget about it, you needn't worry about boiling away all the water and leaving yourself with a burnt pot. (It will also turn off automatically if the pot is empty, the lid is opened, or the pot is removed from the base!)
The anti-calcification filter reduces scaling and thus the need to run a vinegar solution to clean out the buildup (something most people never do with their stove-based kettles). The design allows you to easily see the entire inside of the kettle, so you can keep an eye on things.
For those who regular drink tea or other beverages made with stove-boiled water, an electric kettle is a real convenience. This Braun kettle is about as convenient as they come.

Hot water anywhere, anytime! This electric kettle has a 4-way safety auto-off: when water has boiled, when lid is released, when lifted off the base or when there is no water remaining, the kettle shuts off. The large spout lets you fill the kettle easily and a push button releases the lid.

Masterbuilt 20100809 Butterball Oil-Free Electric Turkey Fryer and Roaster Review

The electric turkey fryer is a good choice if you don't want the mess or hazards of using oil for deep frying. For the money it does an okay job of doing nothing more than cooking your turkey and collecting the drippings. All in all, only buy this product if you want to make room in your oven or grill to cook somthing else at the same time. One good thing about this fryer though is the wood chip tray for smoking. It seems to impart good smoke into the meat. Perhaps this fryer will work better as a low temp smoker. Will try that next. So, in short, if you are looking for that deep fried crispiness and look...this won't give you that.

Rival Hot Pot Express Review

Perhaps you had a faulty item, bulmabriefs144? I had the fortune of having a friend with this particular teapot during my first semester at school, and am now quite happy to have one of my own. I have found that it does indeed heat the maximum volume of water at a higher speed than a microwave, and is ideal for making things like pot noodles and cup soups.
I've never tried it with leftovers, but if you wish to boil water, this inexpensive teapot is more than worth the scant few dollars you pay for it. The design could be more attractive, but over all this is a functional product.

Hamilton Beach 32229 22-Quart Roaster Oven, Stainless Steel Review

I bought my roaster for Thanksgiving. I usually do a lot of cooking and baking for Thanksgiving and this year I made 6 baked desserts alone. I started looking for something to help me with the lack of oven space for this year and found out about the turkey roaster, I had never heard of one before. I started reading a ton of reviews on several different sites to educate myself prior to buying one. I also asked around and called a few people I knew cooked a lot for thier opinions. I got good overall feedback, so I bought this one. Maybe I shouldn't have tried a new method for the first time on such a big day as Thanksgiving... but this has a happy ending. I had a 23.22lb turkey this year. Typically I will cook a bird that big on 300-325 degrees for about 4.5 to 5.5 hours. All the reviews and the instructions stated to cook anything you are making in the roaster at the exact same temperature and time as you would a regular oven. The only two things I saw were about not opening the lid because of how much more of a loss of heat you have on a roaster vs. a regular oven. Also the complaints about a crisp outside which can be easily solved by placing your bird in the oven for just the last 20 minutes of cooking time.
So I got my turkey in the preheated turkey roaster at just below 325 degrees and decided I would cook it for about five hours. I knew I didn't want to keep checking on it because of the notation about heat loss so I decided on that time from the get go since it always worked for me in the past. I got a little nervous and about 3 hours and 45 minutes into the cooking time, I decided to take a peak. A turkey is done and still tender in the thigh at 175 and more like 165 degrees in the breast, and since the turkey will continue to cook 5-10 degrees after you take it out of the oven, I usually take my bird out at 155-160 degrees when taking the temp from the breast. I freaked out when the thermometer read 215 degrees after only about 3.5 hours. I turned the roaster off and took the inside pan out and set it out in the cold to cool down as fast as possible. I admit, I started to cry at the disaster and couldn't help but think about how much that turkey cost that I worried would be a waste of money. And what would my family eat as far as meat went. But let me tell you something... I have never had a juicer turkey in my entire life. I have NO CLUE how at 215 degrees, but I went to grab the leg and the bone just came out completely clean. I guess because it is more of a steam cooking process that it stayed so juicy, or maybe because I wrapped it in bacon, but it was so good! I read someone said it took an extra hour and half, perhaps you didn't preheat the oven or thought you had it at the right temperature but it wasn't... or maybe you opened the lid too many times or didn't secure the lid to begin with, because I had the exact opposite problem. I guess I would just say to check whatever you are making just one time, half way through the originally cooking time to see how it is doing. Otherwise, I love my turkey roaster!

With its large 22-quart capacity, this roaster oven offers an energy-efficient alternative to the full-size oven. Or, use it simply for extra cooking space during the busy holiday season. Just like a traditional oven, the versatile appliance works great for roasting a whole turkey, baking a casserole, or cooking up a batch of soup or stew--it can even be used to steam, slow-cook, or keep foods warm at a buffet table. The roaster oven provides a simple control knob with adjustable heat up to 450 degrees F. It also comes equipped with a lid that helps keep in heat and moisture, a removable insert pan, a lift-out wire rack for low-fat roasting, and cool-touch side handles for safe transport. Not sure where to start? Hamilton Beach throws in a user manual with recipes for meatballs, chili, roasted turkey, cheesecake, and much more. Beautifully housed in stainless-steel, the roaster oven measures approximately 18 by 25-2/7 by 11 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Presto 02160 6-Quart Electric Stainless-Steel Pressure Cooker Review

I am a first time user of any type of pressure cooker so was a little afraid of the old stories of pressure cookers. However, that fear is all gone. I had no trouble what so ever following the manual that came with the Presto stainless steel electric Pressure cooker. It is so easy. Just follow the directions. Have cooked several times with it already. Food was great. I have even cooked one of the recipes. The only thing I would suggest is brown your meats in an alternate pan as it does have a tendency to stick to the bottom of the cooker. Bottom line is I would recommend this product.

This Electric Kettle is quite simple without any frills. For the price, it does what it claims to do. It boils water quickly , the water level is easy to see and has the auto-shut off feature. I have used it reliably to boil water for tea, oatmeal etc. The water is quite hot, so use caution when pouring it out. The lid , can sometimes be hard to close & open.

Sunpentown NY-636 3-4/5-Liter Chinese Herbal Medicine Cooker with Stainless Heater Review

Sunpentown NY-636 3-4/5-Liter Chinese Herbal Medicine Cooker with Stainless Heater
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using this to cook Chinese Herbal Medicine for a few months now. I used to use a ceramic pot to cook the medicine. This unit is much easier to cook. You plug and let it do its job. The ceramic pot is easier to clean and costs $5.99. This unit you cannot put into a dishwasher due to electronic components being part of the unit. One time I was rinsing the unit trying to clean it and the water got onto the base and the unit stop working for 24 hours ... until it was dry again. Normally this does not happen if you clean it carefully.
This unit works by cooking the medicine until the water level drops to a certain point. Then it switches to warm mode. This often takes 1.5 to 2 hours for the medicine I cook. However the herbalist whom I get my medicine from says to cook it only for 30 minutes after it boils and not to exceed 40 minutes. Well since he is an OMD, and a former professor of the Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I'll take his word for it. I have to use kitchen timer and then un-plug this unit after 45 minutes (15 minutes before it boils + 30 minutes of boil).

Easily enjoy the health benefits of Chinese herbal medicine with the help of this convenient cooker. To use, simply add ingredients prepared by an herbalist, pour in a measured amount of water, and plug it in. The unit holds up to 3-4/5 liters and features a powerful 480-watt electric stainless heater. After it quickly reduces the contents to one bowl, as prescribed, the appliance then automatically switches over to keep-warm mode. Resembling a hand-crafted teapot, the cooker's beautiful design includes a lid with a decorative knob, an ergonomic handle, and a drip-free spout for graceful pouring. Other highlights include ceramic construction for excellent results, an 8-inch-wide base, red "boil" and green "warm" indicator lights, and a detachable power cord. The medicine cooker measures approximately 9 by 11 by 11 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
