Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffeemaker, Black and Stainless Steel

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


I just recently purchased the model. I therefore can't attest to its longevity/reliability. It appears to be at the top of what I have had or is out there but I have not owned. All coffeemakers seem to have flaws but most can be overcomed. This makes excellent coffee and that is what matters. Who cares about the cup thingy in the water container- you fill the pot and it tells you the number of cups. The water holder seems no worst others but the fact that the pot pours without spilling makes the small opening a no issue. I don't use most features as I prefer making my coffee when I want a cup. I never set the auto brew as I don't trust most electrical appliances that might cause a fire. This is surely the best coffeemaker, for the money, on ... Read More:

Ped Egg Pedicure Foot File

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


The Ped Egg is truly an amazing product at a great price. I ordered one based on a friend's recommendation. It is easy to use and leaves you feeling like you just had a pedicure. It smoothes my dry, cracked heels and my feet in general. I have tried expensive creams for my cracked heels and it softened but did not help the cracking. This product really works! It is neat and tidy, the "shavings" are deposited inside the egg for emptying into the trash bin (you'll be amazed!) The bottom of the egg has a stick-on emery board attachment for smoothing your feet all over. I highly recommend this product to anyone with dry feet, callouses or thick skin patches on their feet. The Ped Egg will work wonders for you!

Cuisinart ICE-20 Automatic 1-1/2-Quart Ice-Cream Maker, White

Was so excited to receive my ice cream maker. Froze the bowl for 2 1/2 days and chilled the custard overnight. The mixture never thickened up or froze at all. What a waste of money and cream.

Zojirushi BBCCX20 Home Bakery Supreme Bread Machine

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


We bought this machine because of it's size -- it would fit in our appliance garage. However, in order for it to be narrow, the loaf pan is elongated, and hence there are two paddles instead of one. This results in poor kneading, because the dough gets repeatedly torn, tearing up the gluten strands as they're forming (at least this is my conjecture). It works OK if you make a large amount of dough, but you can't make a small loaf or a smallish amount of pizza dough. I have not tried baking in the machine, but I doubt this would work well either, because when I lift the lid to get the dough after the first rise, it's usually lopsided. It's very expensive too! The one I had before that was only about $50 and did a fine job. That one, however, ... Read More:

Oxo Good Grips Flexible Vegetable Brush

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

December 10, 2005
The ergonomics are great. It's rigid, but has a slightly rubberized, uniform grip.

I do feel that the bristles are a bit soft, but that's ok. I use this a lot for mushrooms and tomatoes, which are fairly soft to begin with. In most cases, I peel or remove the skin from tubers. However, I like to cook my potatoes with the skin on. This brush doesn't do the best job on hard, low-starch, waxy potatoes (small red potato, white fingerling) that you'd use for potato salads, for example.

It's very easy to clean and survives the dishwasher (for 2 months so far at least).

Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor

from: Cuisinart


If you have the space for this baby, it will be your best friend. With this product you can cook a dinner for 100 vegetarians and still have time for a pedicure. Cleaning them is a bit of a pain... but with the time it saved you from peeling and slicing, it's a small price to pay.

Cuisinart DCC-RWF 2-Pack of Water Filters for Coffemakers

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


I left my water filters unchanged for toooooo long (over a year). I can definitely taste the difference and am putting a reminder on my calendar to change the filter regularly.

They're not cheap I guess, but if you use good coffee, why would you want it to taste like something ground you buy in a can? And if you use ground coffee from a can (some of which I like so I'm not slamming it), why wouldn't you want it to taste as good as possible?
