  • Product review of the electric turkey fryer.

    Each year at Thanksgiving and family reunions the kitchen overflows with good smells and tasty treats. Inevitably, a giant turkey is at the center of these celebrations, but it never fails that cooking the turkey is always more of a chore than a treat. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a product that made cooking the turkey an easier task? The Masterbuilt Butterball Professional Series Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer was designed for specifically that purpose. The Butterball Electric Turkey Fryer is solidly constructed of stainless steel and includes a viewing window to allow chefs to constantly check on the progress of the turkey.

    The unit includes many upscale features such as an adjustable thermostat, handy digital timer and finally a cooking basket with a helpful draining clip. The best feature of the indoor turkey fryer is its oil saving, electric design. Unlike traditional deep fryers, this unit can be used indoors and is more efficient than traditional oil deep fryers. The Butterball Professional unit uses one-third less oil than other units, decreasing oil costs related with cooking and making meals healthier. In addition to accommodating turkeys up to 14 pounds, the unit can also deep fry doughnuts, French fries, and other tasty treats.

  • Small product picture of matfer pelton spatula review.

    The secret is out! This Matfer Pelton Spatula takes a personal spin on the restaurant-grade spatulas that cooks use. If you peek behind the doors of any restaurant or diner, you’ll see the chefs using a spatula shaped just like the Matfer Pelton. This is because these types of spatulas can be slid under two pieces of meat, lifted and flipped within seconds. You don’t have to worry about dropping the food either, as the long body gets right underneath the food and balances it perfectly. With the long air vents, there’s less sticking and the heat resistance is so tough, you can lean this spatula against a hot pan without it melting.

    The Matfer Pelton Spatula works out the kinks that other food spatulas have. It has a long, thin body that makes flipping foods a breeze. It has heat resistance up to 430 degrees Fahrenheit, which means it won’t melt unlike other plastic spatulas. With its durable qualities, you can also enjoy tossing it in the dishwasher for a quick clean. The unique design and tough construction makes this piece a top choice for serious cooks. Even with all the Matfer Pelton Spatula has to offer, the utensil is comparable in price to any spatula on the market. Online reviews are positive and product owners call this spatula the best! Even cooking magazines have recommended the product, and reviewers are happy to report that it’s the only spatula they need to use. The only drawback is that the spatula isn’t quite as heat resistant as expected, as some reviewers found the plastic melted even under the 430 degree temperature. Overall, the cooking spatula is a great buy that takes the work out of flipping foods in one piece!

  • Small product picture of rachel ray cooking utensils review.

    I’m not always one for buying brand name items just because they’re associated with a celebrity, but I may just make an exception in this case. The Rachel Ray name is one of the top in cooking for a few reasons – one of which is the fact that she actually creates products that are different from the norm, rather than just slapping her name on regular old kitchen utensils. For instance, these Rachel Ray cooking utensils include her signature “Spoonulas” which are like a one-sided spatula and spoon. You can use them to stir, scoop, or serve. Who wouldn’t love a multi-purpose kitchen tool like these?

    Also, Ray’s set comes with flippers and a “Lil’ Devil” spatula, and all three items have corners that mean you can get into the edges of your pots and pans. It’s a genius idea! There are a few complaints about these items, but generally, reviewers really love them for their bright color, practicality, and quality. Most reviewers had nothing but good things to say about these Rachel Ray cooking utensils. Reviewers especially loved the nylon basting tool, which is apparently easier to use than your typical bristle baster and which stands up to super high heat. Reviewers also like the turners, which are sturdy but made so they don’t scratch your pans, either.

  • Small product picture of wusthof steak knives.

    Wusthof Steak Knives are the last word in knives, or that’s what I get from my research for this review. These knives aren’t made with some special steel no-one else knows about. Instead, they’re simply made of high-quality materials and are made with intricate precision that comes through from the handle all the way down the blade. Wusthof uses single layer steel for their knives, and they use a computerized system to get the blades sharper than any knife you can pick up at your local supermarket. The steak knives are supposed to be particularly good for cutting meat because of their curved, scimitar-like blade. From the reviews, this is definitely true.

    From the reviews, this is definitely true. Lots of people, it seems, end up using their knives to pare filets and work with raw meats during the preparation process because they’re just that good. These are nice-looking knives, too, which is important to consider when you’re buying steak knives for the table. Sure, they’re expensive, but they come with a long-term warranty. In all, they get five-star reviews and are a better value than other steak knife sets, such as the J.A. Henckels International 8-Piece Steak Knife Set. Pretty much everything. There are hardly any negative reviews to find on the Wusthof Steak Knives. Reviewers particularly like the long, non-serrated blade, the weight of the knives, and their overall sleek and superior look.

  • Small product picture of wire whisk review.

    This delightful set of wire whisks can make your cooking days much simpler. Available in three different sizes – 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch – the whisks are made from stainless steel and a 7 wire construction. They are used to beat air into food mixtures and create a light, airy texture. Although hand washing is recommended, they can be tossed in the dishwasher for a quick clean-up. When reviewing the product, I found that the majority of people thought highly of these wire whisks, especially with their affordable cost. Reviewers enjoyed the three different sizes that make it possible to create all types of mixtures, including omelets, vinaigrettes and batters.

    Whether working with wet or dry ingredients, these handheld whisks seem to handle it all. Lots of reviewers were pleasantly surprised to see just how sturdy these wire whisks are, despite their economical cost. Most had no issues with the whisks breaking, bending or melting, even in extreme conditions. Reviewers were happy with the three different sizes, although many found that they worked best with one or two of the sizes, instead of balancing between all three. People also reported how easy and lightweight the whisks are to use, making it especially simple to add in the air. Generally speaking, the whisks are best for lighter creations such as mixing eggs or puddings. Although the product is recommended for hand washing, the majority of reviewers said they placed the balloon whisks in the dishwasher with no problems regarding rust or tarnishing.
