Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set Review

farberware-3-pce-cutting-board-setThe Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set are some heavy duty cutting boards that are going to make your work in the kitchen so much easier. This set includes boards in three sizes that are all ½ inch thick and can handle a lot of use without complaint.

 Included in this set are the following:  

Small Cutting Board (7 x 9-1/4 Inches)

  • Medium Cutting Board(10 x 8 Inches)
  • Large Cutting Board (14–1/4 x 10-3/4 Inches) 

Each of these boards have been created with a textured surface to help keep them from slipping and sliding when you are trying to make precision cuts.

 One concern many people have when using cutting boards is having a board to use while cutting raw meat. This is something the creators of the Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set kept in mind. One of the boards has a side with a channel to collect those meat juices and keep them from dripping onto your counter. Additionally, the boards were created with an agent called Microban. This stops many bacteria from growing on your cutting boards and can also help to keep them from staining. 

 Cleaning of these cutting boards is a breeze. Toss them in your dishwasher and let a hot wash and rinse remove any of the food particles that may be left to make sure they are clean and ready to go the next time you need to make a meal.

 What We Like:

  •  The paddle shaped board has a channel to catch juices so you don’t end up contaminating your countertop when cutting meat.
  •  They are non porous so you can chop all kinds of things on these boards, including meat.
  •  They are easy to clean and can be put in the dishwasher.

Norpro 3-Piece Stainless-Steel Whisk Set Review

norpro-3-pce-whisk-wsetNo matter what you want to whip up in the kitchen, you often need the right whisk to get the job done. That is what you will get in the Norpro 3-Piece Stainless-Steel Whisk Set .

Made of stainless steel, this set of heavy-duty whisks are ready to get to work and make quick work of whatever you need mixed from salad dressings to pancake mixes and eggs. 

Once the work is done they are easy to clean as they can be popped right in the dishwasher. Unlike other whisks you won’t find yourself having to shake them out to remove trapped water from the handle of these whisks. Instead, they have been constructed with solid handles that keep the water out and give you a better gripping surface.


This set includes the following:

  • 6-Inch Whisk
  • 8-Inch Whisk
  • 10-Inch Whisk

This trio of whisks can be pulled out no matter the size of the cooking job. The small whisk may be all you need if you are cooking just an omelet for yourself. Or, if you have a whole batch of batter to whisk up, go for the larger whisk option.

What We Like:

  • These three whisks serve as a good variety for various kitchen-whisking needs.
  • They are very economical. At under $20, it is a good price for three pieces of kitchen equipment.
  • They are built with solid handles that don’t trap water when they are washed

Other Things to Consider:

  • We would have liked one much larger whisk for those big batches of eggs that need whipping.
  • The small whisk is mostly useless as it has too small of a handle and doesn’t serve many kitchen purposes.
  • There are not as many spokes on the whisk as we would have liked to be able to really mix well.

REVIEW: Sunbeam 6131 Hot Water Dispenser

Sunbeam 6131 Hot Water DispenserReady for a hot cup of coffee, tea, cocoa or even a cup of soup? Instead of boiling a whole pot of water for just one cup, now you can have a machine that will dispense the perfect amount of hot liquid. The Sunbeam 6131 Hot Shot Hot Water Dispenser will rapidly heat 16 ounces of water and serve it up piping hot for your needs. While many people think the microwave is a good way to go, this heats even faster than most microwaves.

As a safety measure, the Sunbeam 6131 Water Dispenser also comes with an automatic shut off that turns it off as soon as it is done dispensing your hot beverage, lessening the risk of a fire in your home.

While the capabilities of this machine may give you plenty of reasons why you want it for your home, the makers also went to a lot of trouble to make it a piece that works well in any kitchen. It is also a wise choice for studio apartments, offices or dorm rooms where space is at a premium. It’s compact in size measuring 6 x 8 x 10 inches, which means less counter space is taken up. It is also designed to allow the cord to curl up under the base to make less clutter on the counter when you are done using it.

What We Liked:

  • This lets you get hot water fast!
  • It is great for tea, instant coffee, cocoa, cups of soup, etc.
  • You can make just one cup of coffee or tea instead of a whole pot.

What We Didn’t Like:

  • You cannot use a tall mug, as it won’t fit well under the spout

REVIEW: Norpro 5-Inch Ceramic Garlic Keeper

Norpro 5-Inch Ceramic Garlic KeeperIf you enjoy being able to cook items from scratch, there is no doubt you go through a lot of garlic in your kitchen. This is especially true if you are cooking Italian fare. But where do you keep all the garlic? If you are like most people you find yourself in a difficult situation.

First you usually buy more than you need to make sure you have enough. Sometimes, it’s also cheaper to purchase a bulk bag or carton of garlic. But what do you do with all those extra heads that are not going into this meal?

It’s an eyesore seeing pieces of garlic sitting on the counter, not to mention that just sitting there, it’s going to go bad. Now you have somewhere to put them. The Norpro Ceramic Garlic Keeper can hold 4-6 heads of garlic (depending on their size) and keep them fresh much longer than sitting them out. Additionally, this garlic keeper is made of china with an attractive pattern that is beautiful to put in the kitchen, unlike those broken up heads of garlic that were sitting around.

The construction of this container provides just what heads of garlic need to last longer, a cool dry space where they are shielded from the light, but where some air can still get in.

What We Like:

  • It’s bigger than many other models and can hold a good amount of garlic, up to 3 or 5 heads.
  • It’s a very attractive way to keep your garlic in the kitchen.
  • It keeps the garlic smell in while still having garlic nearby when you need it.
  • It can make a the garlic last a long time which is great since often when cooking a little garlic goes a long way.

What We Don’t Like:

  • The china can chip easily so you need to be careful with it.

Chicago Metallic Commercial Cookie/Jelly Roll Pans, Set of 2Whether you make a lot of cookies, jelly rolls or anything else that relies on a good baking pan to get the job done, these may be the baking pans you want to use for the job. The Chicago Metallic Commercial Cookie/Jelly Roll Pans are part of a family of baking pans that have been around and getting great results for decades. Many restaurants rely on these as their way to cook up a great fare. If they can handle that type of work, they will definitely be able to do the job you need completed in your kitchen.

While many metal pans want you to take care when cleaning them, these pans are made for a kitchen where they are tossed in a dishwasher quickly and prepared for the next meal. This means they will also be able to be tossed in your dishwasher for a fast clean up.

Durability was also a very important aspect of these pans as they are meant to stand up to a rigorous cooking schedule. For this reason, these pans have been created with very strong aluminized steel. That makes them heavy duty enough to work endlessly without complaint while also being resistant to corrosion.

What We Like:

  • These are very strong pans that you can tell will be able to put up with a hectic life in any kitchen.
  • The non stick surface helps to keep your creations looking beautiful and easy to remove from the pans.
  • The size of these pans is great for nearly anything you want to create.
  • The pans nest neatly on one another, which is great for storage.
  • They come with a 25-year warranty to back up the quality of the product.
  • These pans cook evenly meaning perfectly prepared baked goods every time.
