Conical Burr Coffee Grinder – Cuisinart Supreme Grind Burr Mill
April 12th, 2019
There is nothing like waking up to a fresh, hot cup of coffee. What makes this experience even better is the ability to grind the beans of your choice at home for a truly personalized coffee making experience. The Cuisinart Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill lets you easily grind your own coffee beans. This Concial Burr Coffee Grinder features eighteen grind settings allowing you to choose from very fine to very coarse and every texture in between. Find the texture you desire by using the machine’s dial, and the burr plates and heavy duty motor take care of the grinding. It’s a visual way of knowing how fine you want your coffee beans.
The electric coffee grinder can handle anywhere from four to eighteen cups of grounds and automatically shuts off when the desired selected amount has been reached. When you’re ready to transfer the grounds to the coffee pot, the grind chamber easily slides out and has a lid for no spills. For safety, the unit does not perform without the hopper and chamber in place. A cleaning brush/coffee scoop all-in-one tool is also included as is an eighteen month warranty. Most customers on Amazon appeared to like the home coffee grinder overall, however many reviewers also noted the unit was hard to clean because of its design.

Waring Juicer Is A Powerful Stainless Steel Juicing Machine
April 10th, 2019
Anyone looking for a delicious way to add more fruits and vegetables to their diet may want to consider the growing trend of juicing. With the new generation of juicers able to extract the vital nutrients of everything from apples to zucchini, juicing is a fast way to get your daily servings of the vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants that fresh produce has to offer. There are many styles of juicers on the market today and the Waring Juicer is able to compete with the best of them. The Waring Health Juice Extractor comes equipped with an impressive 400-watt motor that is covered by a generous five-year warranty.
The powerful motor is able to quickly extract juice while separating the pulp from an endless variety of fruits and vegetables. The feeding tube is wide enough to accommodate most whole produce, saving the effort of having to pre-chop. One of the best features of the Waring Juicer is its thoughtfully designed components that are all dishwasher safe. This Waring Citrus Juicer receives an impressive number of postive and glowing reviews from consumers who have rated it online. Available for under $100, this juicer reportedly performs at the same level as many higher priced, more complex juicers like the Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor, which is more than double the price. It can be said that you get what you pay for, but in this case it just might be that you get a little bit more.

The Weber Genesis Grill Cover Is A Heavy Duty Protective Grill Cover
April 8th, 2019
The Weber Genesis Grill Cover is a must have for anyone looking to protect their grill. Designed for the Weber Genesis E and S series of gas grills this rugged cover offers the perfect fit and protection for your grill. Measuring 30 inches by 60 inches and made of durable vinyl this cover is designed to slip on easily. The long sides and a perfectly fitted center means the cover will be kept securely in place. This will significantly reduce exposure to the outside elements and reduce fading of your grill. A proper fit also help keep insects out. By choosing the Weber Genesis Grill Cover you are getting a sturdy cover specially made for your grill.
The “one size fits all” grill covers available in mass retailers do not offer the fit, protection or quality of this cover. What good is a grill cover if after every storm that comes through you need to search the neighborhood to find out where your grill cover ended up? Weber has hit a homerun with the Weber Genesis Grill Cover. I highly recommend you avoid buying a generic cover at your local store and instead pick up this quality cover that will last for years.

The Cuisinart Grind And Brew Produces Fresh And Flavorful Coffee
April 7th, 2019
For many, there is nothing like that first cup of hot coffee to get going in the morning. The Cuisinart Grind-and-Brew Twelve-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker can take the at-home coffee experience to the next step by freshly grinding coffee beans right before brewing them. From a trusted name in America’s kitchens comes a coffeemaker with grinder that will grind your choice of beans before brewing them. Program when you’d like your pot of coffee to brew up to twenty-four hours ahead of time. Once the coffee starts brewing, you can easily “pause” the process to grab a cup of coffee before the whole pot is finished.
This coffeemaker grinder includes a sixty-ounce carafe which features a knuckle guard and drip less spout. The grinding aspect of this coffeemaker, while housed in the same unit, is separate from the brewing process for easy clean up. This home coffee maker Cuisinart Grind And Brew also features an auto-shutoff function that is adjustable up to four hours. Overall, reviews on Amazon were positive. Customers appeared to enjoy the coffee produced by the coffee maker machine and the included thermal carafe. A few drawbacks for some customers were the difficulty of cleaning the grinding area, the noise of the coffee grinder, and the limited four-cup capacity for grounds.

Some enjoy giving, and for some, cooking. Combine both with the Presto Pressure Canner. Use it to prepare cans of your famous salsa for giving, then use it to cook up a great stew for fun company. The Presto Pressure Canner will hold up to twenty pint jars or seven quart jars at one time. It is constructed of heavy aluminum which resists warping and encourages even heat distribution. Safety features of this model include a pop up pressure indicator, a steam release mechinism and an overpressure plug to let off excessive steam build up if needed. There is also a pressure dial gauge that lets you see the pressure reading.
To ensure quality canning, the lid locks down tight and an inner seal keeps steam inside the canner. Another nice feature of this canner is an included rack that will fit inside and keep jars off the bottom, allowing for water circulation. This canner also does double duty and serves as a pressure cooker. An included recipe book will give you ideas for easy dishes to prepare, including basic soups to breads and desserts. Overall reviews online for this electric pressure canner were positive. Most consumers reported the canner and cooker aspects worked well with easy set up and use. One consistent potential negative was that the unit takes a while to heat up, but that seems fairly common in canners.

This Electric Brinkmann Smoker Offers 50 Pound Cooking Capacity
March 31st, 2019
There are a few things that Americans are undeniably great at, and one of those things is crafting a great tasting meal with the help of a grill. Those who want to take the challenge even further may enjoy learning to use a smoker to cook extremely tasty meats and fish. The Brinkmann Gourmet Electric Smoker and Grill is a great tool for those looking to start smoking meats and fish for the first time. The electric smoker and grill from Brinkman is a great two in one tool for those who enjoy a good cooking challenge. The Brinkmann Smoker comes with a front-hinged door, porcelain-coated steel water pan, and two chrome-plated cooking grills.
With a 1500-watt heating element, the Brinkmann smoker grill is capable of tackling all your smoking needs. This particular model comes with stay-cool wooden handles and a protective vinyl cover. Customers in search of a smoker and grill combo unit will find a handful of models to choose from on the market. Traditionalists might prefer a true smoker that relies on burning wood for fuel, but among the electric models the Brinkmann is on par with the competition.
Although the majority of online reviewers were happy with the Brinkmann electric smoker, there were complaints from a minority of users. Some complained of design flaws and cheap construction, but the other major complaint was a lack of ability to control the temperature inside the smoker. Smoking is a time consuming task, and an electric smoker provides a reliable stream of fuel for the process. While experienced smokers may not choose this model, the Brinkmann Gourmet Electric Smoker and Grill is a good option for beginners and casual users.

The George Foreman Griddle Is An Effective Electric Countertop Grill
March 30th, 2019
Enjoy delicious grilled food without having to leave your kitchen! With the George Foreman Griddle, you can cook up burgers, vegetables and steaks. With a sleek design that fits on any countertop, the electric griddle has a 72 inch cooking surface, a stay cool handle and “ready” indicator light. The drip tray keeps fat away from food and the nonstick coating allows for easy cleaning. The griddle also comes with an extra griddle plate and spatula. George Foreman products have made grilling foods healthier and easier, especially for those who lack a grill, such as dorm or apartment dwellers or those that desire an electric grill rather than natural gas.
The George Foreman Griddle is also a great alternative during the winter months when the grill isn’t in use. These inventive products are some of the most popular on the market, especially with their consistent cooking results. The Black and Decker Nonstick Griddle for example, has received very poor reviews, with customers saying the product was poorly made and allowed the food to stick. Presto Griddles have received much better reviews, yet customers still felt that these griddles didn’t cook evenly and instead of a convenient drip tray as with the George Foreman, the Presto griddles are tilt and drain. Fortunately, online reviewers have been happy with their George Foreman GRP54G Family Griddle, saying that it’s a dependable griddle that is perfect for grilling up small quantities of food. The only downside is that the grill is a bit smaller than most expected it to be, making it ideal for small families or couples. Overall, this is an excellent addition to any kitchen, preparing healthy grilled foods any time of the day!
