I love the colors and textures of Emile Henry products, and this one is the same as I have come to expect. It is another nice color to add to me kitchen. I also prefer the 45 degree decline with the wide opening, over some other options that are 90 degrees and one size through the entire opening. I find this more easily accessible to my larger hands than the other options.

The Salt Pig is a charming and handy way to keep your favorite salt at-hand. The wide opening accommodates even the largest of hands, and the slightly arched hood helps keep your salt free of food debris while cooking. The simple, yet classic shape of this piece is further emphasized by the vibrant colors and deep hues of the glazes.

Progressive International Meat Pounder Review

Progressive International Meat Pounder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Progressive International Meat Pounder does a good job of tenderizing boneless cuts of beef, veal and poultry. It's very easy to hold while pounding your meat, and will quickly help flatten meats to an even thickness, far better than one of those lightweight wooden mallets. I picked up one of these when my cheap (i.e. dollar store) mallet-style pounder broke the first day that I had it. Mallets meat pounders do work, but they put a bit of stress and shock on your wrist every time they make contact. You'll be able to prepare a lot of meats with this without wearing out your wrists.
This meat pounder has a stainless steel pounding surface. Its round shape is ideal for pounding meats and poultry, as well as pressing patties for hamburgers. It weighs a little more than a pound, so it's not too light or heavy to do the job at hand, and does most of the work with little effort. You can use the edge of the stainless steel disk for tougher meat cuts. The round shape is perfect for pounding and tenderizing all kinds of meat, and it's perfect for pressing beef patties for hamburgers.
You can spend a lot more on a heavier meat pounder, but you have to ask yourself if it's really necessary. This one has a comfortable design, with a durable, easy to grip handle. Since the disk is made of stainless steel, it's safe to use in the dishwasher.
I've use this for smashing peeled garlic cloves easily, and used it to break up chocolate for occasional baking as well. It has even been used to effortlessly break up ice cubes upon occasion, and is the perfect shape to put on some pot lids to weigh them down during cooking.
About the only thing that it didn't work for was crushing walnuts, and for that one really needs a nut chopper. With apologies to Vince "You'll Love My Nuts" Offer (the ShamWow guy), I'll pass and go for the Progressive International Heavy Duty Nut Chopper for that job.

There are tougher and more expensive ways to pound your meat, but this one does the job for me.

For the money, this is a fantastic spatula. The handle feels good in the hand, with the rounded end. The silicon head is rather slick, so food comes off of it easily. Best of all, the heads don't stain!
Some people have taken stars away because of the unfinished handle. The handle is just like any other rubber/silicon spatula I have had. You won't want to let it soak in the dish pan, but other than that, I think it will stand the test of time.

Works like described. Easy to snap on and snap off. I don't think I could fill my water cooler without one of these things. A bit too expensive in my opinion, but I couldn't find a similar product anywhere else. If you get water delivery service then I would suggest asking your delivery guy(gal)to get you one. The company may charge, I don't know, but it wouldn't hurt to ask if its free, heck he(she) just might give it to you! That's how I found out about these, through the water delivery service at work.

Sunpentown ST-60B Stainless-Steel Non-Electric 6-Liter Thermal Cooker Review

Sunpentown ST-60B Stainless-Steel Non-Electric 6-Liter Thermal Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This thermal cooker has been a very useful piece for me, but probably not as Sunpentown intended. This has been invaluable as an insulated pot for potlucks, yogurt incubator, teakettle substitute, and a milking pail (yes, I milk goats), but not as an alternative to a slow cooker, which is its intended purpose.
When I tried to use the cooker as suggested, which was really difficult considering that the instructions were unclear and translated poorly, the food was underdone. When I cooked food in other containers (this one has a thin bottom) and then used this to keep the food warm, it worked much better. It does hold heat VERY well.
To tell the truth, I bought this, then put it away for a couple of months in disappointment. Then I started using it for potlucks, and suddenly came up with more uses. I made tea and kept it hot for hours. I used it to incubate yogurt. It became a great ice cube holder at parties. I'd like to see how it cooks rice. Hmmm . . .
Again, it's very useful for me, but not for the purpose for which it was created. I do feel like I've gotten my money's worth, however.

Just 10 minutes on the stove, leave for work or play and return home to a delicious meal. Thermal cooker saves energy costs and preparation time Simply place the ingredients in the inner pot, cover lid and bring to a boil on your stove (approx 10 minutes). When brought to a boil, remove from stove and place in outer thermal pot. Thermal technology creates a convection effect by using the steam produced inside to circulate and continue cooking for up to 30 minutes and warms for up to 8-Hours Food is cooked in its own moisture and steam, so nutrients are preserved. Compared to a pressure cooker, thermal cooker is 30-Percent more energy efficient

12 OZ SYRUP DISPENSER Review

12 OZ SYRUP DISPENSER
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This syrup dispenser seemed like a great deal, however upon receiving it, the glass was chipped/broken on the lip where the metal lid screws on. I returned it for a replacement, and also bought an additional dispenser for a gift (I liked the product). The other two dispensers arrived chipped/broken in the same location. I can only conclude that there is either a design flaw, or that the glass is cheap. The way that Amazon packaged and wrapped the dispensers, I could have dropped them off a 5 story building and they would have survived, so I can't blame the packaging from Amazon.

Replacement Cooler Faucet - White
The picture shows two. I expected two white ones at least since it did specify white. MISLEADING when they do photos of two and only one is for sale. For the price I certainly DID expect TWO replacement faucets. Especially when other online sellers do sell these for half the price.
Would never buy again. Other customer was right it is not sturdy either - not for this price. Since the other customer didn't get a refund, I figured why bother even asking. False advertisement and nothing indicating there was only one except word wasn't plural. Said weight was 8 oz and two of these weigh 8 oz - if that. So I was sure there would be two.
It only cost them 1.39 to ship it to me and they charged way too much for shipping, considering the price was already extremely high to begin with.
I did buy the same exact ones somewhere else, but only there were TWO brand new ones "like in the picture" for less than half the price and no shipping costs "somewhere else."

Purchased this in black for a friend who has Fiestaware in black and white and have bought myself one even though I never thought I would buy a covered butter dish. And I use it more than I ever imagined. I like the style because its clean and doesn't have the "cute" silliness of most covered butter dishes.
I guess that is what I like about Fiestaware anyway. It is so clean and neat as well as utterly gorgeous in colour as well as such a pleasure to handle. And my friends place looks so wonderful when he sets the table in the black and white Fiestaware, mixing plates, bowls, serving pieces.

Um . . . not at all dripless, this baster. Honestly, it drips pretty much just like the cheapy baster you can buy from your local grocery store for a couple bucks. Complete waste of money, this.
PS: I'm trying to find a dripless baster I can used to feed my goldfish certain foods in a very controlled fashion so that I can begin training them to do tricks. I've got them trained to come up to the nosel of the baster to get their food, but when it "drips" out, I lose my control.

6qt Round Slow Cooker Review

6qt Round Slow Cooker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My Rival 6 quart slow cooker is falling apart after only six months. First the High/Low/Off switch broke off in my hand (and no, I did not manhandle it.) Then a carrying handle broke off, spilled hot stew everywhere and scalded my hands. Then the handle for the glass lid broke off under the weight of the glass lid alone, and the other carrying handle also broke off under the weight of the EMPTY crock pot (and I mean empty -- the metal shell only without the ceramic inner bowl.) The plastic of all the handles literally disintegrated.
There's really no excuse for this, My parents bought a Hamilton crock pot in the mid 1970s that still works today (after many moves.) My first experience with a Rival Product was their 4070 Hot Pot Express (which was excellent and has served me well for 12 years, though the RIVAL 4071 replaced -- and probably improved -- the 4070.) The 6 qt. round slow cooker cannot make the same claim.

Norpro KRONA 4 Quart Everyday Pan with Straining Lid Review

Norpro KRONA 4 Quart Everyday Pan with Straining Lid

It's a shame that they don't have a picture of it. This is one of the best pans I have bought in a long time. It's heavy and has a pour spout on the side. When you place the lid on it you can drain the fat off of your ground beef right in the pan.
This is a stainless steel pan... and is not a coated nonstick pan. Therefore you can not cook on high heat... let it preheat on 1/4 of your burner's power and then adjust up to the minimum needed to cook. Never on high unless you like burned stuck on food.
This is a fry pan with two handles on each side. This is so much better than messing with a fry pan handle.
I do use this pan everyday and reccomend one to everyone

I have used many slow cookers, and I will say this one is the best you could ever use. It keeps a steady temperature, does not burn your food, and everything always comes out perfet. When you take eye round (very tough meat) and turn it into a perfect meal, then you have the best. I would reccomend this slow cooker to everyone who is looking for a large one because you can also do smaller amounts and this works also!

I want a pot that'll slow cook. I want cookware that has cool touch. I want my foods to be flavorful. I seek flavors normally lost when rushed. In the old days, stews were slow cooked in hearths and over fireplaces. Meats, veggies, and liquids slowly merged to creative substantive, satisfying dishes to support a family of hard workers. Stew is among the oldest types of food and virtually every country has a few recipes that relate to stew. Yet, beyond ingredients, time is a big factor to assure the right meld of flavors. Homemade meals are easier than they seem. Especially with the help of a West Bend Crockery Cooker. Just add the ingredients, select a temperature, and return to a delicious, ready-to-serve meal. 6-Quart capacity is p-erfect for a large, hungry family. There may even be some leftovers.Stay cool plastic handles on heating unit Removable crock doubles as a serving dish Keep warm setting maintains serving temperature See-through glass cover Recipes included in instructional booklet Westbend Warranty -1 Year
