Farberware FCP280 8-Cup Percolator

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


I have fallen into Faberware's diabolical plan... I have replaced the same make and model percolator that I purchased 2.5 years ago. I debated whether to try another brand, but everyone says that percolators just don't last the way they once did.... That way they can sell MORE of them! A diabolical plan indeed!

But after consideration of the 2.5 years of GREAT coffee I had with this product, I went ahead and bought another one, which just arrived today. Maybe this one will last a full THREE years! Wouldn't that be nice? We will see... If this one fails, then I will write to Faberware and DEMAND a free replacement!

They are the best tongs I have ever had. Very sturdy and the locking device makes it very easy to store them. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Lavazza Crema e Aroma Coffee Beans, 2.2-Pound Bag

This is really horrible coffee. It is especially bad in an espresso machine. The taste is completely different than the Lavazza beans that come in a blue bag. There is a reason this brown bag is cheaper.

Nordic Ware Microwave Plate Cover

Great cover for microwave. No need to use plastic wrap or paper towels that move around etc. ... especially for soup and eggs tend to "exploid and spatter over the interior of the microwave oven!

Cuisinart CSB-77 Smart Stick Hand Blender with Whisk and Chopper Attachments

Save your money and invest in a better immersion blender.

The teeth that connect to the different attachments are made of plastic - and they have worn off after only a few uses. None of the blades will spin now, regardless of which attachment you are using - rendering the blender completely useless.

Salton QM2R Santa Fe 900-Watt Quesadilla Maker

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares

I just love, love, love this quesadilla maker. I even have quesadilla parties so everyone can enjoy them. Since we purchased this one we have given them as gifts to a lot of other people. You can't go wrong with this purchase.
I just throw a tortilla on the quesadilla maker and don't even use any oil. Add some diced up chicken or steak (really good if you cook the meat on the BBQ), green and red peppers and onions and green chilis and jalepenos along with cheese and you are set. For the kids just use cheese and they are in heaven. Serve with sour cream and salsa and a margarita on the side

Progressive International Vegetable/French Fry Cutter

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: Progressive International


I had an old french fry cutter that I finally tossed because it was rusty (yuck). I got this one, and have to say that I am very happy with it. I am surprised that some people wrote that it takes quite a bit of force. I was expecting it to take some muscle, so I put my potato in there and gave it a hefty pull. The potato went through like butter and flew halfway across the counter. I didn't hardly use any force on the next spud, and it went through like butter again. This time it didn't fly away. I am a 55-year-old, 100 pound lady, not the incredible hulk! It would be nice if the base was just an inch longer but for the price, I will cut my potatoes in half. It still makes nice size fries. In fact, I prefer the shorter, stumpier fries. They look ... Read More:

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Special-Value 16-Inch Roaster with Nonstick Roasting Rack

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares

I have burnt my hands and or arms EVERY time I have used this pan due to the inconceivably stupid handle design.
The handles are very tall and angled in to the pan so when you are trying to stir your gravy you can't help but burn yourself on them.
It is nice and large and heavy duty so it makes a wonderful gravy which I can honestly say I've never had the opportunity to enjoy because I'm always nursing burns.
I spent too much on it to throw it out so I think I'm going to try to talk my husband into bending them the other way.

Granite Ware 21-Quart Covered Preserving Canner with Rack

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: Columbian Home Products

January 24, 2007
This canner is a good price and works well. However it is best for 7 small mouth jars as the large mouth ones fit too tight in the rack and tricky to remove.
