REVIEW: KitchenAid Bottle Opener

Kitchenaid Bottle Opener ReviewKitchenaid make good solid durable products and the Kitchenaid Bottle Opener is yet another to add to the collection.

The KitchenAid Bottle Opener is made from 18/8 stainless steel contrasting with a black or white trim to give it a stylish look.

This is a hefty piece of equipment with a good weight that will easily remove bottle tops. You won’t find this one bending.

What We Like

  • It has a lifetime warranty.
  • The bottle opener is dishwasher safe.
  • The handle has an opening to allow it to be hung from a utensil rack.
  • It’s strong and durable. Excellent quality!

REVIEW: Pyrex Prepware 2-Cup Measuring Cup

Pyrex 2 Cup Measuring CupThis would have to be one of the most commonly used items in my kitchen. I use it daily. It has a multitude of uses and is not just for measuring liquids. I use it to mix ingredients, to melt ingredients in the microwave and to add ingredients to foods cooking on the stove.

I’ve had mine for years and I know that it will last the rest of my lifetime assuming I don’t drop it. Even then these things are so tough that I think it would break my tiled floor before it actually broke…I’m not going to test it though.

I think just about every kitchen in the western world has at least once piece of Pyrex. It’s strong, durable and lasts the distance and it is made in the US.

This Pyrex Prepware 2-Cup Measuring Cup is one you use again and again and for the price you really can’t lose.

The measurements are in metric on one side so that’s in milliliters and on the other side the measurements are in cups and ounces. This is great if you have a recipe that you have found on the net that is only in metric so all bases are covered.

Pyrex is non-porous so it doesn’t absorb food odors or flavors. And foods won’t stain the surface.

It is also microwave safe, fridge and freezer safe and dishwasher safe.

I can’t really find anything bad to say about these Pyrex Measuring Cups except that they are a little more weighty than plastic measuring cups.

I highly recommend it.

REVIEW: KitchenAid Box Grater

Kitchenaid Box GraterThe humble grater is no longer so humble now that Kitchenaid have gotten into the act. The KitchenAid Box Grater is made from 18/8 stainless steel and comes with three grating sides – find, medium and coarse – and one slicing side.

What makes this grater so good is the additional plastic food catcher that fits onto the bottom of the grater. This allows you to grate your foods directly into it. This means less mess plus the plastic container has measurements on the side so you know exactly how much your are grating without having to transfer the contents into measuring cups.

The container comes with a lid so you can store the contents of whatever you have grated in the fridge.

What We Like

  • The base of the grater is rimmed with rubber to ensure that the grater doesn’t slip across the counter when you are using it.
  • The grater is made from 18/8 stainless steel.
  • It’s dishwasher safe so you don’t have to worry about cutting your hands on this one if you have to hand wash it.

What We Don’t Like

  • It’s big so will take up a bit of storage space. Compare this with the OXO Good Grips Grater if you are looking for a similar box style grater that is easier to store.

REVIEW: Oster 8 Egg Cooker Review

oster-egg-cookerCooking eggs is a simple process but it can be a bit of an art getting it just right. How many times have you boiled eggs only to find that the shells have cracked or made poached eggs and have the yolks break open? It happens to the best of us.

With the Oster 4716 Egg Cooker cooking eggs  is easy. You can cook eggs in the shell in this or poached eggs if you prefer. It boils up to 8 hard, medium or soft boiled eggs at the one time and up to 4 poached eggs.

What We Like

  • It turns off automatically once cooked.
  • It simple and easy to use.

What We Don’t Like

  • The parts aren’t dishwasher safe so you will need to hand wash the pieces.
  • Although it turns off automatically when the eggs are cooked it doesn’t let you know with the ring of a bell or buzzer.
