Pyrex Prepware 2-Cup Measuring Cup, Clear with Red Measurements

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: Pyrex


It doesn't get much better than this. The same measuring cup my mom and grandmother had (and my mom still uses), now slightly redesigned with an open handle, which is an improvement. Sturdy, easy to use and read, stands up to boiling and freezing, stores easily and, if this matters to you, made in the USA.

Norpro Butter Keeper

One star isn't what I give the actual product, but rather the experience I had trying to get it from Amazon. The first arrived broken; they sent a second one; it arrived in even worse shape than the first. Other reviewers have complained about the same thing - obviously the shipping method being used isn't adequate. I ended up getting one elsewhere - all it took was a little bubble wrap and it arrived in perfect shape.
The item itself is great, but I'd get it elsewhere!

Furi Ozitech Diamond Fingers Pro Knife Sharpener

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: Furi Cutlery


My knives were getting so dull they were dangerous, so I knew I needed a sharpener. I wanted something quick and easy, that didn't take any skill, but just sharpened knives.

I know if I took the time to learn how to properly sharpen my knives, I'd get better results than I can with the Diamond Fingers, but not by much. The Diamond Fingers suit my needs perfectly. Plus it folds up and stores in a drawer easily.

Good product!

Oxo Good Grips i-Series Swivel Peeler

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: OXO


I bought this peeler based on the Cook's Ill. recommendation. It works very well, but it took me a while to get used to its weight. I do like the big handle, which fits my hands well. While I usually like utensils with good heft and a solid feel, it feels odd in a peeler.

Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan

I followed the advice of the other commenters and used my giant cupcake pan tonight for the first time. Sprayed pan with PAM for baking, measured 4 cups of batter for each side - cooked the bottom for 10 min and then added the batter for the top and baked for another 37min. It baked very nicely and I trimmed the top of the bottom and the bottom of the top and used frosting to put the 2 pieces together. For a non-baker I felt this was easy to use and curious how my co-workers will like it (I baked it for baby shower at work). I used 2 boxes of cake mix and it made one giant cupcake and 12 regular sized cupcakes. Oh to make it lower fat I substituted oil with unsweetened apple sauce.

These bags really do extend the life of the fruit. I use them for strawberries and tomatoes and get 3 or 4 more days of extra life which makes these worth it for our family.

Zojirushi NS-LAC05 Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer, Stainless Steel

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares

July 15, 2006
I purchased this rice cooker based on the reviews that I had read and honestly it only does an adequate job considering the cost.

I have yet to produce Batsami rice that doesn't come out like mush from it. I have used two different brands of rice and have the same problem each time. White rice and some of the other brown rices come out perfect but not the Batsami. I have read that other less expensive cookers perform just as adequatly without the high dollar tag.

It sure does look good sitting on my counter though...

Black & Decker DCM7 Cup-At-A-Time Coffeemaker, White

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


There have been many times that I wanted a cup of coffee but I didn't want to make a whole pot just for myself. So I found this B&D Cup-At-A-Time Coffeemaker, but when I saw the price I thought it must not be very good. Wrong! After looking at what other people on amazon had said about this coffeemaker I decided to purchase 2 of them; one for my mom and one for me. We both already have the whole bean coffee and grinder so we could use it now for either our 12-pot coffeemakers or our One-cup coffermakers. And we didn't have to get the special pods that other single-cup coffeemakers typically use. We did purchase the Size #1 filters; they cost about $1.80 for a box of 40. This coffeemaker is so easy to use and we are both really glad we got them. The ... Read More:
