Tovolo Yellow Groovy Pop Molds

from: Tovolo


These things are great!!! Constructed very well, I thought they would be more flimsy but was happily surprised. I foresee many wonderful years of popscicle making. So far I made orange juice pops, chocolate pudding pops, and frozen yogurt pops.......the choices are endless!

Taylor Classic Candy and Deep-Fry Analog Thermometer

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Taylor Thermometers


I bought this item at a local (nationally owned) grocery store in a pinch because I wanted to try my hand at making my own potato chips. I'd wanted something like this before because i like to fry foods and do a lot of outdoor cooking with my turkey fryer.

I've used quite a few times now, and I wonder where all the negative stink (AKA, reviews) is coming from. I've noticed no disappearance of markings (something that seems to bother a lot of reviewers of lots of other fine items that I've never experienced.

It's extremely accurate and couldn't be easier to use.

The best part? The price!!! So what if the markings (if you really need them, scratch them onto the metal yourself) wear off for whatever reason. ... Read More:

Oxo Good Grips V-Blade Mandoline Slicer

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: OXO


Was going to use this to dice carrots, but didn't come out the way I wanted it. I julienned them instead, but they came out uneven. The carrots keep on slipping, even with the holder. Very dangerous if not careful. The carrots stain the plastic right away.

Oxo Good Grips 8-Inch Double Rod Strainer

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: OXO


It does its job, it hasn't come apart, and it shows no signs of rusting or breaking. All I want is a tool that does its job well. This one does exactly that. Its hardest use in my household is straining "things" from my beer and mead brewing experiments. That typically means 5 gallons of hot fluid with varying weights of things that must be strained out. No problems.

Nonstick 4-Piece Egg/Pancake Ring Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Norpro


Ordered these to do multiple eggs for egg muffins...they are awkward to use..rings have a lift handle which isn't worth the time fiddling with. I used the rings individually without the handle. Just a so-so item.

Tovolo Clear Dripless Baster

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Tovolo


I bought this only several months ago, but it appears to be better than any other brands I have used over the years. It does a great job of suctioning up liquid and retaining it in the tube without it dripping out. The true test will be how well this performance lasts after many uses and washings. I'll keep you posted.

SiliconeZone Large Pastry/Baking Mat

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Silicone Zone


I use this mat Mostly for rolling out pastry dough. The pie chart sizing is a great help; I am able to transfer directly from the mat to the pie plate. I read a number of complaints about the mat being too sticky. It was a little Sticky on my first couple of uses, but after a few washings it is now working well. It is easy to clean, and I would recommend this product to a friend.

The bread box is a good quality product for the cost. If you need a heavier gage product than you need to pay more.

Joyce Chen Burnished Bamboo 5-Piece Utensil Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Joyce Chen


On the surface you might think these are "cheap". Nothing could be further from the truth. Each utensil is very sturdy and cleans up beautifully! The holder is very nice looking and also wipes clean easily with a damp cloth. These are a must for use with nonstick cookware. I wish it had a wisk with the set.
