    Small product picture of ninja master food processors.

    The Ninja Master Food Processor has a catchy name for a reason; this power machine will help you land a karate belt in the kitchen! With a powerful 400-watt motor, this product has everything you could ever want, including 48-ounce blender, 2-cup food processor and one-touch pulsing control.

    For quick food prep, the machine comes with storage lids so you can use the processor and store what you mixed. You’ll find that you’ve never been more efficient in the kitchen, especially with the interchangeable pod that allows you to go from blending a drink to mixing up a salsa. Online reviews are positive and found the Ninja Master to be a better buy than the Magic Bullet. The Ninja Master has super sharp blades that deliver a professional performance. The Magic Bullet on the other hand, has mixed reviews and a more expensive price tag. The only difference is that the Magic Bullet comes with plenty of storage containers with colored lids, a nice perk for storing foods.

Some product owners found that the Kitchen Ninja food processor wouldn’t work after a month or so, with broken parts that snapped or shattered.

    This Bradley Electric Smoker Offers A 500 Watt Cooking Element

    October 17th, 2018

    Product review of a bradley electric smoker.

    Some of the tastiest meals that people can make for themselves don’t require an open flame, but they do require a long time to prepare. Using a smoker is one of the best ways to lock in taste and succulent flavor, but using a smoker can be tremendous pain at times. In addition to the nearly eight hours it can take to smoke meats and other foods, it takes time to get the smoker up and running and clean up afterward can be a nightmare. Enter the Bradley Electric Smoker, the answer to all your prayers. The Bradley Automatic 4-Rack Outdoor Food Smoker is an electric smoker that can do it all, providing hot and cold smoke, slow roasts and slow cooking.

    The Bradley features four slide-out shelves inside of its aluminum interior. On the outside is a durable, powder epoxy steel exterior and the unit is powered by a 500-watt heating element and a 125-watt smoking element, allowing for heat as high as 280 degrees. The Bradley’s briquettes burn reliably for 20 minutes before advancing off the burner, and the system is capable of sustaining heat for up to eight hours. Other electric smokers do exist on the market, but some of them sell for upwards of $4,000 while others sell for less but have been found to be less than reliable by users. This makes the Bradley Electric Smoker Grill one of the top products available. Online reviewers have been amazed by the Bradley Original Fully Automatic Food Smoker.

    Skip The Artificial Additives With The YM7 Electric Salton Yogurt Maker

    October 15th, 2018

    Product review of a salton yogurt maker.

    Yogurt is a great snack for both kids and adults, yet most people forget that store-bought yogurt isn’t the only option. With the Salton Electric Yogurt Maker, you can whip up your favorite yogurt flavors in the convenience of your own home. Not only is this cheaper, but you reap the benefits of making yogurt that is free of artificial additives and preservatives. Experiment with different types of milk and flavorings to find the blends that suit your taste buds. The Salton Yogurt Maker makes up to 42 ounces of fresh yogurt at a time and comes with 7 6 oz. glass jars with lids. The maker also features a clear cover, timer reminder and easy on/off switches.

    With the popularity of making natural foods, there are several electric yogurt makers on the market. Customers prefer the Salton brand to the Yogourmet Electric Yogurt Maker, as it comes with 7 jars for individual storage. However, both the Cuisipro and Euro Cuisine makers come with individual jars for the same price and carry positive reviews. Still, many customers enjoyed their Salton maker more, as the Cuisipro was found difficult to use, with some customers getting a soup-like texture for their recipes. What reviewers did say about the Salton Yogurt Maker was that the glasses break easily, a major flaw considering the glasses are stored in the fridge. Most reviewers agreed that while the yogurt maker is of good quality, the glasses deserved more attention. All in all, the Salton Yogurt Maker is an excellent way to whip up healthy, all natural treats for the whole family!

    Product display of breville bje200xl 700 watt compact=

    Looking for a quality heavy duty juicer that comes with a powerful 700 watt motor, spins at 14,000 RPM and according to one reviewer says is more powerful than their previous Jack LaLanne’s juicer? Enter the Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain. Pretty much anything you put down this bad boy will be juiced and the pulp will be collected in a special pulp catcher. With a big enough fruit or vegetable, this juicer will created 8 ounces of fresh juice within 5-10 seconds. Yes, that’s some serious juice creating power my friends. The design of the unit is quite first rate, let me explain.

    There’s a stabilizing dual knife assembly inside, so when you put down veggies or fruits, it aligns them to the cutter center so that the produce gets minced completely, which leads to maximum juice creation. Even the plug has a molded loop so that’s easy to unplug and plug back in. Another great feature is the large feed tube that can take large veggies or fruits like a whole small apple or carrots. Obviously a lot of thought went in to creating a seamless juicer work flow as clean up is completed within 5-10 minutes. Happy juicing!
