Magic Bullet Express 17-Piece High-Speed Blender Mixing System

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: E.Mishan & Sons, Inc.


I got this as a wedding gift, it sat in the box for the first year. It is very useful as several people have mentioned for smoothies and things of that nature. I've used it to grind spices as well and did a very good job. I don't give this product 5 stars because well, it's not a blender - I don't want to make individual margaritas if I have friends over or make the same smoothie three times so that everyone can have one. I am not sure if they make an attachement that would allow for larger batches to be made but that would take this review from 4 stars to 5.

Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press

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


at last, a product that surpasses my expectations. I splurged for this after reading a recommendation in Cooks Illustrated. In the past 50 years I've been cooking, I've wasted so much money on garlic shredders/mincers etc. that don't' work or so messy to clean they've not worth the effort. But this really does work and is a snap to use and clean. Just go for it and buy it--in the long run you will save money.

Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper

from: Wabash Valley Farms


My Mom introduced me to the Whirley-Pop when I was a teenager and I have never been able to go back to microwave popcorn since. It is fun, safe for kids to help with and makes a perfectly healthy snack. I have found that adding just a touch of Agave Nectar to the oil while heating makes the popcorn taste like Kettle corn! There are a variety of ways you can "shake up" plain popcorn, but this way is my favorite. The Whirley-Pop is a inexpensive way to have a bit of fun with your kids while making a healthy treat.

Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain

from: Breville


This powerful juicer gets your juice ready in seconds and it is easy to clean. I often use it twice a day and don't mind the cleaning part of it. At the price of a little over one hundred dollars, this one may be the best buy. I sure am happy of the choice I made.

Misto Gourmet Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayer

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: Misto International LLC


When I first purchased a Misto sprayer, it was around $25.00 but even at less than half the price, I still wouldn't buy it again. I absolutely loved it at first but way too much effort in trying to figure out how to keep this thing working! Also, when I hadn't used it in over a month, some sort of mold was growing on the plastic tubing inside, yuck. The mold turned me off for life so now I buy a similiar product in a see through sprayer WITH the olive oil included at Marshalls, TJ Maxx or Home Goods for $4.99.

Presto 23-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner

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


This is the second Presto pressure canner we have purchased. A smaller one was purchased in 2004 and has received much service for home canning. We bought the 23 quart size since it can be used as a pressure canner and is tall enough to also serve as a water bath canner for quart jars. With the 23 quart size you can stack pint jars on top one another for two layers which is a great time saver when you have a lot of food to can. We have not used the canner for cooking large amounts of food, but there is a recipe book enclosed instructing how to use the unit as a cooker. Canning instructions are clear and many foods are covered. This canning season we used both canners at once with excellent results.

Tihs brush is not stiff enough for cast iron. Didnt work for anything that sticks to cast iron. I prefer a metal brush.

Makes opening wine very easy. Never fails to be asked: Where did you get that? Everyone that doesn't have an opener like this wants one. Seriously.

Salton YM9 1-Quart Yogurt Maker

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


I'm happy with the salton 1-Qt yogurt maker. I use non-fat milk and mix in some non-fat dried milk and the yogurt is thick and nice. I recommend a small thermometer for checking the milk temperature before you add the starter.

Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner

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


I bought this spinner to replace my old pull cord version. That cord was always flopping out of the cupboard and being generally annoying. I love how this version is self contained and you can push the pump down and lock it in place for storage. Dries my greens quickly!
