Review: Duxtop Electric Burner

When cooking for a Holiday or large party we all could use another burner to help us out. With the Duxtop Electric Burner, I can have an extra burner for those busy cooking days. It’s also great to take with you when traveling or staying in a hotel.

What are the features?

·         Adjustable thermostat and heating indicator light

·         Durable cast iron plate with brushed stainless steel housing, built to last

·         Cool touch handle so it’s easy to move

·          Large heating plate to accommodate large pans

This Duxtop Electric burner has been a wonderful addition to my home. I use this burner when I have to cook large meals and have several pots and pans going on my stove at once. This Duxtop electric burner heats up extremely quickly, and I can boil water in no time which I really appreciate.  The burner accommodates all different sorts of pan sizes, from really small to my largest pan with no problems.

I would definitely recommend bringing this burner with you when you’re traveling and staying in hotels. When we get to a hotel after a long day of travel we are always hungry, but room service can add up very quickly. If you bring this burner with you all you need to do is plug it in and you have a makeshift stove! You can cook anything that you want and for way less than it would cost you to order it from room service.

I poured my egg mixture into this mold and let it cook away. These are so much fun anyone would love having eggs in fun designs to brighten up their morning, best of all you can throw them in your dish washer and they are ready to go for the next day.

Review: Premium Bamboo Extra Thick Bamboo Cutting Board Set

Cooking is one of my favorite things to do, but one thing to be careful of is the spread of germs and bacteria. With the Premium Bamboo Extra Thick Bamboo Cutting Board Set you are able to have a different cutting board for chicken, veggies, and even fruits. The best part about this set is the fact that it won't dull your knives!

What are the features?

• Stylish design made of 100% pure microbial Bamboo 
• Easy to clean, use hot water and soap then let it air dry
• Will not dull your knives like plastic cutting boards
• Safer than plastic cutting boards
• All natural, eco friendly, and recyclable 
• Measurements: Large: 13" x 9.5" - Medium: 11" x 8.5" - Small: 8" x 6"

As soon as I opened my package and saw how beautiful these Bamboo Cutting Boards were I know I would be hooked! These boards are smooth and shiny and are just beautiful to look at, best of all they don't have as many openings in the wood as traditional wooden cutting boards do, so there aren't as many places for bacteria to grow. The boards themselves have a little weight behind them so I know they are of good quality, and I can attest to the fact that they do not dull your knives. Before using these I was using a plastic cutting board and I hated how even weeks after buying a new knife it would be dulled down by my cutting board. These boards have been absolutely amazing in my kitchen. 

I appreciate the fact that if I am doing a small cutting job such as cutting up a Tomato I don't have to use a large board, I can just pull out a smaller one which means less clean up, never a bad thing! I have been using these boards up to twice a day every day since I got them, and they still look as great as they did the day I got them!

This is a close up picture of the beautiful grain.

Review: Gogogu Digital Kitchen Thermometer & Timer

Cooking is one of my favorite things to do, and I thought I had just about every kitchen gadget known to man, but I didn't have the Gogogu Digital Kitchen Thermometer & Timer. This device is great because it saves space by being dual purposed, and it helps you make sure that you are cooking your meats to their necessary temperature. I would always be afraid of under cooking chicken and pork because of the fact that it can be so dangerous, so I was overcooking it. With the Gogogu Digital Kitchen Thermometer & Timer I can be precise and have much better tasting food.

The Gogogu Digital Kitcen Thermometer & Timer has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen tools that I own. I didn't realize how much easier it was to cook with a thermometer! This device is even better than a standard thermometer because you can program it to sound an alarm when your desired food temperature has been reached. This is the feature that I use the most, and I find it to be the most helpful. Not everyone's ovens will be perfectly in sync so when something says cook at 450 for 15 minutes, the inner temperature of the foods may not be the same. By programming the Gogogu Digital Kitchen Thermometer to say 160 degrees it will alert you when that temperature is reached, no matter how long your food has been in the oven.

The buttons on the digital kitchen thermometer & timer are very user friendly and easy to use, and the display is easy to read. There is also a large probe that can be inserted into your food that will record the temperature for you. This kitchen thermometer & timer also has a little kick stand on the back so that you can prop it upright if desired. 

The Gogogu Digital Kitchen Thermometer & Timer is a great device, I think everyone could benefit from having one of these in their kitchen. Cooking by temperature instead of time has been so much easier for me, and I know my food is cooked until it is safe.

I absolutely love wine, but the one thing I don't like is cheap wine openers especially when they break off inside the cork! The Frost Best Wine Opener set of 3 has been great!

Review: Cool One Beer Chiller

Cooking and entertaining are my favorite things to do, but there is nothing worse than drinking or serving warm beer. With the Cool One beer chillers that is  thing of the past!

What are the features?

• Durable metal design that conducts cold easily
• Open spout so once you place it in your beer, you actually drink right through the holes in the lip of the beer chiller.
• Can be cleaned and stored directly in the freezer
• Stays put when placed in your beer, no slipping or leaking
• Can also be used for glass bottled sodas or some wine bottles.

The Cool One beer chillers have been so much fun to have around, I'm personally not a huge beer drinker, but lots of my friends and family are so it's nice to pull these out when needed, it always seems to shock and awe. 

To use the Cool One beer chillers simply clean them, then place them in your freezer to cool for at least 45 minutes (I just store these in my freezer so it's not a problem). When you are ready to use them, take a sip of your beer so that it doesn't overflow and secure your Cool One beer chiller in the bottle. 

These have been great, they really do cool down your beer instantly and best of all there is no watered down taste. I would recommend these to everyone, even if you aren't a huge beer drinker, there are so many uses for them that you would end up loving them nonetheless!

Review: Holzhaus 4 Piece Ceramic Kitchen Knife Set

Cooking is one of my favorite things to do, but any cooking job can be made much more difficult if you don't have the proper tools. With the Holzhaus 4 Piece Ceramic Kitchen Knife Set, you have everything you need to peel and chop in the kitchen with ease. 

What are the features?

• Extremely sharp ceramic blade that retains it's edges 10 times longer than traditional metal or carbon blades.
• Will never rust and resists the growth of bacteria.
• Soft ergonomic handles which means no more banging your knuckles on the counter top while you chop!

To try out these knives I made Burritos, which require a lot of slicing and chopping. I diced an Onion, cut up a Jalapeno, Garlic, and some Tomatoes with ease. I even did a chiffonade with my Cilantro and had no issues whatsoever, the blade cut right through the Cilantro instead of crushing and bruising it. These are by far the sharpest knives that I own. 

How to take care of these knives:

• Only use a wooden cutting board, plastic is also safe but I find with my other blades plastic tends to dull them quicker so I steer clear of that altogether.
• Do not ever put your knives in a dishwasher, this will also dull your blades much more quickly. Simply hand wash these.
• Never use the blade to scrape cut veggies or fruits off of your cutting board. Invest in a pastry scraper, they do the same thing.
• To store these knives either store them in the same box they arrived in, or a knife block. Don't throw them into a drawer where they are scraping against other knives and utensils. 

These are the sharpest knives in my household, and I have to say they are my prized possessions, no one else is allowed to use them! I would recommend the Holzhaus 4 Piece Ceramic Kitchen Knife Set to anyone, they make every cooking task quick and simple!

Review: FlavFusion Infuser Water Bottle

Lately I've been trying to drink more water and steer away from sodas, so infused water is one of my favorite things to drink. With the FlavFusion Infuser water bottle, it makes it super simple to infuse my water with any ingredients I could ever think of and take it with me on the go!

The FlavFusion Infuser Water Bottle has a long infuser tube that screws into the lid of the straw spout, so that every drink you take is perfectly infused with your ingredients. The spout flips out and you tip it up and drink, it's so easy. 

I appreciate the fact that every sip of water has to flow over your ingredients, that way every drink tastes like your ingredients. My favorite type of infused water is cucumber. It provides a very refreshing drink and it's one of the more simple infused waters to make. Another one of my favorites is strawberry and basil, that offers a fruity yet refreshing drink as well.

I suggest anyone trying to steer clear of sodas or any other sugared beverage give this a try. This will spice up your water and make it way more fun! I also appreciate the fact that it is portable, so you can enjoy the infused water from the comfort of your own home, or out and about when those other sugared beverages may be a temptation.
