Oxo Good Grips Fat Separator, 4-Cup

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


I requested a fat separator for Christmas (my old one cracked) and received this one from my Mom. I love the fact that it will hold a full 4 cups of liquid and it has a stopper that seems to make the fat rise to the top quickly. The soft grip handle is comfortable in my hand. Just put the pieces in the dishwasher and cleanup is a snap!

The only thing I don't like is the large holes in the strainer let small pieces of meat, skin, etc. slip down into the broth. To solve the problem, when I pour the broth out, I pour it through a fine wire mesh strainer.

Of the three separators that I've owned, this is by far the best one! I highly recommend it.

Cuisipro Accutec Razor-Sharp Kitchen Rasp

from: Cuisipro


Definitely better than Microplane in its shape (slightly rounded) and its sharpness (hide your knuckles). Also love the fact that the end you place on the counter/cutting board is rubber coated to prevent slippage. Only drawback is the plastic handle: it's too short (and I have little hands!), and the plastic is cheezy and uncomfortable. A lot of my utensils are Good Grips, and you really come to rely on and appreciate the heft, girth and comfort of their handles.

FoodSaver Continuous Roll Bag Material, 11 Inch by 18 Feet (2 Rolls)

from: Tilia


We freeze a large amount of summer produce from our garden and from our CSA subscription. These rolls are the best way of doing that. Not inexpensive, but definitely cheaper than the individual bags and more convenient by being individually sizable.

Oxo Good Grips Funnels, Set of 3

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


I have trouble using my hands and am legally blind. This set of funnels is very helpful to me. I steam distill my water, so I am pouring fairly heavy water from a heavy glass container into a plastic bottle for storage. The funnel stays in place, and I can pour the water all at once, instead of constantly having to readjust the funnel. I haven't used the strainer or smaller funnel yet, but it is nice to have them around.

from: Copco


I purchased these for my husband after somebody at work stole the one he had for many years. He does not like any moving parts on the lid, so these were perfect.The price is great. They hold a lot and keep the coffee warm for a while.He's very pleased with them and put his name on it this time.We'll see if that helps any.We would not hesitate to purchase them again or recommend them.

Aerolatte Stainless-Steel Deluxe Edition Frother with Stand, Chrome

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


In looking for a frother to take the place of a non-functioning steamer on my expresso machine, I came across the site featuring the Aerolatte Stainless Steel Deluxe Edition frother with stand. Since ordering it, I've been having fun creating some nifty little beverages for my husband, who can no longer have coffee or any caffeine. His favorite is a simple "Steamer". I add some type of flavored italian syrup to milk, heat it well, then froth it. In just a few seconds, it make a great foamy "head" on the milk. It also works well for frothy hot chocolate and more!
It runs on two long-lasting AA batteries and has an amazing amount of power to make froth/foam.

Sheet Pan Half Size - 12-7/8'' x 17-3/4'' Heavy Duty, 13 Gauge

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Cooks Tools and Gadgets
from: Lincoln Foodservice Products


This is a heavy duty pan, but it did warp the first time I used it in an oven. I, too, followed the recommendation of Cook's Illustrated to buy this pan because "Pan can't be twisted, did not warp." Well, at a mere 425 degrees the pan did warp.

Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder, White

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


My order of a Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Slicer/Shredder, arrived promptly, was properly packed, and was in perfect condition. The price was better than I expected to have to pay. After using it, I liked it so well that I ordered some more attachments to go along with the ones that came with it. I plan to be using it quite a bit to shred various fresh vegetables for my healthy lifestyle. A pyramid of shredded vegetables on my plate is not only healthy, but attractive to look at and make a welcome change. They are also easier to eat if someone has any dental problems.
