Sunbeam, 91640, 99 Minute, 59 Second Digital Count up/Count Down Timer, White/Grey

from: Sunbeam


I liked my timer so well that I called Sunbeam and several others and finally learned I could purchase another on Amazon. I gave these to my two hairdressers for their use at the beauty salon and they love them. Also kept a brand new one for myself!

Peugeot Paris 8-3/4-Inch Salt and Pepper Mill Set, Classic Curry

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


The Peugeot pepper and salt mills have a beautiful gloss finish that is a rich none yellow mustardy color, they call this curry. The color in the picture does not do these mills justice. The mills themselves are about 22 cm tall or 8.75 inches tall the metal knobs are not a significant part of the height, being that they blend in so well with the contours of the mill, but they are part of this measurement. They measure about 19 cm/ 7.5 inches around at the base our 5.5 cm from edge to edge, the diameter. The height and width make these mill perfect as they are not so big as to be a nuisance or so small that you lose them on the table amongst your food, and again the beautiful color and finish makes them wonderful functional accent pieces ...

Haven't used it yet, but it appears as advertised. It seems well made and looks like it will do exactly what it is intended to do. Plus, it looks nice in the kitchen. I recommend it.

Kuhn Rikon La Patisserie Cookie Press and Decorating Set

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


I actually used this for the first time last night and was very disappointed. The barrel is very small, as were the cookies. I make a spritz cookie and then ice 2 together with chocolate icing like a sandwich and even the largest disc didn't make the cookies big enough. I ended up getting a disc from an old press, but that didn't work all that great, either!! I bought my daughter one and I am thinking of returning it.

Black & Decker CO85BM Spacemaker Can Opener, Black/Brushed Metal

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

June 01, 2006
We just moved into a new apartment on October 1st and although the kitchen is nice, the counter space is limited. I had a counter top can-opener and we just needed more room. I had read the reviews and was a little wary about buying this can opener because of the negative ones, but I went ahead and got it anyway. I am so glad that I did. Jim had it installed in about 10-15 minutes. It works like a dream and I use it pretty much every day. We were thinking about intalling it back a little on the underside of the cabinet but decided to install it right at the edge to make it easier to remove the blade for cleaning. I've had this can opener for over a month and am very, very happy with it. It opens cans beautifully and the bottle opener is ... Read More:

This rolling pin is a great addition to my baking tools. It makes rolling out pie dough a snap. It is so easy to maneuver and gives you better control than a standard rolling pin.

The Original Super-Fast Thermapen Instant Read Thermometer (Red) by Thermoworks

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


Cooking thermometers have come a long way in the 15 years.

I remember the old mechanical spiral-dial thermometer that my parents used - it was terrible. It's temperature response time was measured in minutes, and if it got you within +/- 20F of your target temperature, you were lucky. Candy thermometers offere a slight improvement in speed and accuracy, but were calibrated too high a range to be useful for grilling and baking.

Then the first of the digital thermometers came out for home cooks. As a budding humebrewer and someone who loved to cook, I immediately bought the best ones I could fine. Unfortunately, although faster and more accurate, they were still a bit slow ... taking up to 30 sec to stabilize. They also ... Read More:

Taylor Classic Cappuccino Frothing Dial Thermometer

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


How can a thermometer labeled specifically for frothing not include the critical 80-100 degree range?? I wish I had been more careful before buying this since I simply cannot use it without knowing that vital 80-100 degree range, but who would have thought a thermometer marketed toward one specific purpose would not include the ability to use it for said purpose?

Black & Decker EK700 SlimGrip Electric Knife

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


After reading all of these reviews, I expected wonderful things out of this item. I purchased it to slice cured bacon. It does not slice cured bacon at all. So if you want to cut 'tough' food items, find another way.
