My first impression upon taking that garlic press out of the box was that it had a heft to it. It is stainless steel and it just feels sturdier than a plastic one that had broken on me a few years ago. The well on the garlic press is pretty deep, and can easily fit two or three cloves of garlic in there. The press holes are large enough to make using it easy, and it produces bits of garlic, not just juice and pulp. The handles did not hurt my hand as I was using it, and I felt that I had a secure grip the whole time.
A quick scrape of my knife along the surface and I had fresh garlic in my pan for my pasta sauce I was making for dinner. There was really nothing left in the press but a thin skin, once I pulled that up, cleaning was a breeze. I was a little concerned that there was not cleaner included, and figured that I would have to get out a tooth pick to clean out the press holes. This was actually a non issue. Once I pulled the thin layer of garlic out of the well, the holes are just large enough that running my fingers along the surface was enough to remove any remaining garlic bits. The entire press 'flips' backwards and makes it easy to get into the well to clean.
For some extra cleaning, I threw it into the top rack of dishwasher. It came out sparkling clean and without a hint of rust showing anywhere after being left in the washer overnight.

Garlic Press and Silicone Tube Peeler Set - Easily Peel, Press, and Mince Garlic and Ginger- By Dual Chef
This might be the sturdiest garlic press I've ever used, it's extremely durable and looks like it's going to last forever- I'm so used to cheap garlic presses that fall apart and rust really quickly, but I don't see that happening here. The design of it is fantastic, you can get a few cloves in at once and it doesn't have floppy parts that get easily lost like our previous press that I could never find the insert for. It's easy to use, I have pretty bad arthritis and this operates smoothly even for me. It's also easy to clean.
Bonus is the BRILLIANT tube peeler! I'd never even heard of these gizmos before and consider my mind blown. What an ingenious lil gadget!
I've really been enjoying matcha tea lately, but I always have clumps and unmixed powder in my cup- I had no idea how much of a difference a traditional whisk makes!

Alpha Grillers Instant Read Thermometer with Meat Temperature Chart, Velcro Attachments and Battery
I found it very easy to use, the display is easy to read. requires one AAA battery, I like the way the probe folds making it easy to store so I don't stab myself rooting through the drawer.
.
I thought it was very accurate and very fast. We probed a tenderloin and the temp was spot on and we had the reading within seconds, I was surprised at how fast we received the temperature.
To clean it I just wash the probe with soapy water. If you use the ON/OFF button before folding it up, the thermometer will stay in Fahrenheit mode. If you fold the thermometer up before turning off, it will shut off automatically.
I like that the probe is thin enough to not leave big holes in your food but it does lock in pretty well- I have to pry the probe out with a butter knife since I broke a nail trying to get it open!
HUZZAH bonus- meat temps listed ON the thermometer! I never can remember. Julia Child I aint. Or at least a memorizing savant.

Lotsa different flavors! This tea was mentioned by Whoopi on The View as one of her favoritest things and I can see why!
I have
Mint Medley: Let this refreshing herbal blend soothe your pathways. Fresh peppermint leaves balanced with a hint of orange form a wholesome blend promoting healthful digestion.
Chamomile: Sit back, relax and unwind with this delicate herbal blend. The flowery taste of chamomile is highlighted with subtle notes peach and lemon. A mellow yet enchanting brew made with real fruit.
Ruby Raspberry: Treat yourself to dessert and let your palate dance to the sweet and tangy tunes of this herbal fruit blend. This flavorful blend is made with real raspberry fruit pieces and hibiscus.
I have developed, like, I dunno- EMOTIONS for this wine glass! LOL Seriously, it will hold an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF WINE. Nuff said. This is so big it dwarfs even The Sasquatch's paws. I DID almost turn our cat into a scarf when she knocked it over right after I'd filled it. Spilling a whole bottle of wine is depressing.
Chef Cristiane's Brazilian "I'm Hot" Gourmet Hot Sauce - Craft Made in Small Batches with Malagueta Peppers - Medium Hotness - 5oz.
The Sasquatch loved this stuff so much that he wanted to write the review!
This has quickly become my favorite hot sauce. Another well-known brand advertises that it's "so much more than hot," which I think is not so true, but this "I'm Hot" sauce actually delivers a ton of flavor beyond the heat. The tangy, vinegary flavor, along with a nice punch of spice, goes great with nachos, soups, and just about anything. I like to mix a healthy dose into ground beef before making burgers. Yummy!

Blisslii Ceramic Burr Manual Coffee Grinder (Aeropress Compatible) w/FREE Coffee Scoop Spoon Bag Seal Clip $9.99 Value, Stainless Steel, Portable for Travel and Camping
I've been quite enjoying this nifty little gadget! If you want to grind a large quantity of coffee beans at once, it may not be for you unless you're prepared for a serious workout, but it's great for grinding a pot's worth at a time, for maximum freshness. I fill it about three quarters full o' beans for a small, five-cup coffee maker, and it takes about two minutes of grinding, which is a nice pre-coffee wake-up workout for the forearms! This compact grinder is ideal for travel and camping, and it comes with a wee scoopy-spoon. Neato!
Midori Spring Organic Ceremonial Matcha - Gold Class - Premium Japanese Green Tea Matcha Powder [Certified USDA, JAS, Kosher] (30g)
I've been Matcha crazy lately, after discovering the beautiful flavor and clean energy and sense of flow I'm hooked. Midori Springs Emerald Class is a fantastic example. (For more info on their process, click here) This superfood gives you clean energy and clears the cobwebs when drank as a traditional tea ( I DO recommend a frother or a traditional bamboo matcha whisk to truly make the tea correctly, otherwise you'll wind up with lumps) and I also used it to make some stunningly delicious tea cookies.
There are infinite health benefits when it comes to consuming Matcha. Some of the key health benefits:
- Great energy boost without the jitters.
- Reduces stress and improves mental alertness.
- Increases metabolism and supports weight loss.
- Boosts immune system and reduces inflammation.
- Helps the body detox and cleanse harmful elements.
- Research has shown that drinking Matcha can help prevent cardiovascular diseases, decrease the risk of cancer, reducing arthritis, and so much more.
I've seen a definite reduction in my arthritis pain since i started drinking this. Oh, and did I mention that it's YUMMY?!?!?!?!
Kavazzio French Vanilla Powdered Mix 1lb. Can (Pack of 2) FREE SHIPPING
I'm normally on the fence about drink mixes, so many of them can be watery or lumpy or have a weird artificial taste. Well this stuff is awesome! It blends really easily and the powder is superfine so there's no powder lumps left behind. It's smooth and creamy with a delightful velvety mouth feel. Just sweet enough but not jaw clenchingly sweet. Tastes exactly like a standard issue vanilla cappucino without needed a capp machine! I do have a milk frother which I used with a few times and it made it coffee bar good. Usually with mixes like this I have to mix it with hot milk to make it actually taste decent, but this works perfectly with just water- it really is very rich and creamy! My Sasquatch has taken to using this instead of milk or creamer in his coffee for the creaminess with the vanilla bonus. And the price? Fantastic! You get TWO big cans for the price of maybe one of a similar product at the store. And honestly, I have to say that I'll never go back to what you get in the grocery store because this is just SO much better.
Sasquatch was so excited about these that he wrote his own review!
These are my new favorite towels! I would normally joke about the name "Towel Lab", but there is some serious science going on here, folks! These are by far the best dish-drying towels I've ever used. They leave dishes perfectly dry with just a quick swipe, and there's no streaking, lint, or residue. I've also discovered that they are better than any lens cloth for cleaning eyeglasses. Brilliant! Huzzah!

Chubritsa - Traditional Bulgarian Table Spice Blend 2.75 Oz
This salty table spice mix (also known as Sharena Sol) is a traditional Bulgarian seasoning with a distinctly unique flavor and harmonic aroma. It can be used on toasted breads, meats, cheeses, sandwiches, pizzas, soups, rice dishes, potatoes and more. Just sprinkle on your favorite food and enjoy!
About this Item:
- All Natural: Free From Artificial Colors, Flavors and Preservatives
2.75 ounce (78 gram) net wt.
Hand-Crafted in Small Batches
Hand-Packed in California
Ingredients: Raw Pumpkin Seeds, Salt, Savory, Paprika, Thyme, Oregano, Fenugreek Leaves, Cayenne Pepper
- Manufacturer: Rustic Blends
More Info:
Chubritsa is the Bulgarian name for the herb Summer Savory (Satureja hortensis)? It is also one of the main ingredients that makes our wonderful salty spice mix.
If you never used Chubritsa mix before, try this first:
1. Toast a slice of bread
2. Spread with butter
3. Sprinkle with Chubritsa mix
The name “Chubritsa” comes from a Bulgarian translation of the word “Savory”. It is among the main ingredients that make this wonderful salty spice mix. Bulgarians also call it “Sharena Sol” (Colorful Salt). You can come to your own conclusions on how popular this mix is when you learn that there isn’t a single home in Bulgaria without Chubritsa mix. Besides the popularity it’s also very healthy for the digestive system.
FlavFusion 26 Oz Infuser Water Bottle with Flip Top Sipper Lid
I love the drink spout on this one, I've got a number of infuser bottles so I always have some ready, and a lot of them you have to take the cap all the way off to drink out of, causing a HUGE mess. I HATE artificially flavored and sweetened waters but plain water can get pretty boring. I've gotten pretty creative, you can find a lot of cool combinations to try online. Whatever you do, DON'T use canned fruit- it has no flavor at all. You want either fresh or frozen fruit and it works best if you muddle it a little first to release the flavors. Watermelon works GREAT and mint leaves and fresh ginger root make fantastic additions as well. Have fun and drink your water! (And be sure to eat your fruit when your done for a nice little snack!)
CoffeeCrazy Premium USDA Organic, Fair Trade Colombian whole Bean Coffee (Whole Coffee Beans)
We're quite pleased with the Coffee Crazy Colombian roast coffee. This variety is exceptionally smooth, with a mild flavor and no acidic, bitter aftertaste so common in many roasts. It's also 100% organic and free-trade, so you can enjoy its subtle deliciousness without worrying about nasty chemicals or downtrodden peasants dying for your breakfast! Hooray!
Balsamic Vinegar of Modena - Limited production, barrel aged 250 ml IGP Certified Aceto Balsamico - Estate bottled in Italy
Wow! This is one of the best vinegars I've ever tasted. It's got a rich flavor that has tang and body. It's thicker than the average vinegar, almost a syrupy texture in the mouth with a creamy mouthfeel. It gives amazing flavor straight out of the bottle- we were actually pouring drops out and licking them off our fingers! The bottle itself is beautiful, this would be a fantastic gift for the food lover in your life. It tastes fantastic as a drizzle sauce, I made a plate with raspberries and parmesan cheese and this drizzled over it the other day and it was a slice of heaven.

Product Description
Overview:
With its increased popularity among diners and chefs, there are hundreds of varieties of balsamic vinegar. The Italian Consortium allows only two "ages" - 12 and 25 years - to be included on a label for traditional DOP balsamic vinegar. The age or quality of most commercial Saba, Condimento, and some IGP and DOP labelled vinegars is difficult to determine.
Cooking and Aging Process:
Balsamic Vinegar occurs from the fermentation of cooked must and its aging in a series of wooden barrels. After pressing the grapes and removing the skin, seeds and stalks, the mixture is cooked in an open containers to achieve a concentrated must through evaporation. The cooled must becomes dark brown and viscous with a high sugar content.
The initial barrels are made with soft porous wood to encourage evaporation and acidification. The musk is later transferred to the hardest wood (oak and mulberry) for aging. Fermentation caused by osmophilus yeasts give rise to the oxidation. Over time the wine must undergoes considerable change with regard to sugars, alcohols, aldehydes and organic acids giving rise to a bouquet of delicate yet intense flavors and aromas.
IGP Certified Balsamic Vinegar:
IGP balsamic vinegar consists of a mixture of wine must and wine vinegar to produce an acidity level of no less that 4.5%. The Italian consortium monitors the aging process, bottle labelling and origin of the wine must. There are several grades of IGP certified vinegars based on taste and viscosity. Gourmet Living's "Goccia de Oro" is a premium balsamic vinegar.
Cooking with Balsamic Vinegar:
Given its versatility, balsamic vinegar tends to enhance the flavors of most food. It is traditionally served with parmesan cheese, salads, fish and vegetables and even ice cream.

As previously stated, I am the Queen Of All Klutzes- so using sharpening stones always terrifies me. Finally i can sharpen my own knives without cutting myself! The 2 step system gives you fantastically sharp knife edges with just a few swipes. Most sharpeners like this, you have to be very careful to just go in one direction or risk ruining your knife but with this one you can swipe either way with no fear. It's compact so there's no taking up a ton of space and it's unlike most plain black sharpeners, you can get it in cute colors! The green one looks ADORABLE in my kitchen- I actually leave it out! The suction onto the counter also ensures that there's no slipping- it has a good strong grip. I went sharpening crazy and now there's not a dull blade in the house. I'm glad to have no more fear!
I am the clumsiest person on Earth, so these are actually great for a lot more than just picnics and camping! They are squishy- they're made of silicone- but they hold a good amount and the flat base lets them sit easily. These are great because they take up next to no room, you can fold them up or collapse them easily so you can just stick it in your pocket! I have also found them to be great to take to a party. And talk about lake worthy! No glass, no mess! I also like to use these when I'm having spa day, I can have a glass of wine in the tub and not worry about it slipping out of my wet hands and smashing on the tile. Cheers!
I prefer the flavor of fresh spices, but my ex kept my spice grinder (phhhbttt!) I had forgotten what a huge difference it made until I started using preground spices. They taste listless and stale to me with none of the vibrancy of freshly ground. This is perfect for my needs. It's slender so it doesn't take up a lot of space and the stainless steel is stylish and easy to keep clean. The grinder itself is easy to use and I like that you don't have to screw and unscrew the top to add more. You also get a window to let you keep an eye on about how much you've got ground.
- CAN I ADJUST THE GRIND SIZE AND IS IT CONSISTENT? - Yes, the grinder adjusts quickly and easily to grind for multiple brewing methods such as: espresso, pour over, french press/plunger, percolator or Turkish. You'll be able to get a consistent grind quality that will improve the taste of your coffee.
- HOW FAST DOES IT GRIND? - That depends on the person grinding (of course!) however you can expect to grind about 38 grams of coffee to pour over level fineness in 1 min 20 sec. Stated by approximate volume that is about 6 tablespoons of whole beans ground in 1 min 20 sec (enough to serve 2 people)
- IS IT LOUD? - No, it's really quite tame. You'll find it MUCH quieter than grinding with an electric grinder and it's even better than some of the other popular manual grinders.
- IS IT HARD TO CRANK? - Actually it's pretty easy. The grinder is slim for easy gripping and the crank handle is long enough to give you good leverage for a smooth and easy grind. Some of the difficulty depends on your coffee beans but the grinder does it's part to make things go smoothly.
This is perfect for if you use a pizza stone or make homemade pizza, it will cut through even deep crust pizza without the clogs that come with most pizza wheels. My mister used to work in a pizza place and he compared it to the ones that real pizzerias use. It's so easy to use, a few rocks back and forth and your pizza is perfectly sliced. As a bonus, it's also amazing for chopping up large amounts of veggies and ESPECIALLY herbs. I took off one star for it not having a cover because it's scary to know something this sharp is loose in a drawer! It's an awkard shape to be safely tucked into where my knives go.
File this under : didn't know I needed it till I had it. I really always assumed these were for OCD cooks who needed perfectly round eggs. Oh no, buddy, they're for so much more! You can make the most NUMSTASTIC breakfast dishes! Some examples include lining the ring with a soft cooked piece of bacon (you want it to be able to mold to the ring) before adding your egg, whipping together a bunch of ingredients into your egg then pouring it into the ring (no omelette mess or falling apart) and my personal favorite of slices of avocado across the top of a whipped egg mixture with no worries of it sliding off- it cooks right into the egg!
These have a ton of other uses such as burgers and pancakes, but I'm still obsessing over egg tricks.....
I was initially skeptical about these gloves being able to withstand extreme heat, but they proved me wrong. They actually work great for handling hot pans, grills, etc. You can even hold onto a 500 degree pan for extended time without it heating through the material the way it would with a standard oven mitt. A word of caution, though: if hot liquid soaks into the glove, it will burn you. But as long as you're careful not to let hot oil or water splash onto them, they provide superior protection. I also love that they actually fit easily on large hands, but if you have wee, dainty hands, the excess finger material can get in the way a bit. I'm not sure if they are offered in other sizes, but the large size is ideal for me. (the hubby wrote this one)
Pastry scrapers really need their own infomercial. It slices! It dices! It cleans up gunked-on messes! I use mine for all of the above.
First and foremost, I use my scraper for bread baking. It cuts through big wads of dough cleanly and then helps to scoop them off the counter for shaping. For very wet and loose doughs, the scraper is essential for gently working with them without making an enormous mess of things. And nothing is better for portioning out rolls and bread sticks, transferring shaped dough to pans, and yes, scraping the flour gunk from the counter when I'm all done.
And then there's everything else. I use my scraper to cut pans of brownies and lasagna, to scoop up piles of chopped vegetables for the pot, lift cookies from the baking sheet, and so much more. Whenever I need a tool to lift, pry, scrape, or scoop, this is the tool for which I reach first.
It may not sound like much, but I'm honestly impressed that this brush comes packaged with the bristles actually wrapped tightly in padding! The last grill brush I got actually stuck me in the finger and made me bleed when I reached into the box to pull it out. This one has handy direction with it! It's sturdy with a good heavy handle and a long handle at that, making it perfect for being able to clean while the grill is still hot without having to get too close to a hot grill. Can't wait for next weekend to take it to my barbecue and show it off! Bonus is that it comes with a 1 year money back guarantee!

Sunsella 100% Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer
This steamer is easily the best designed one I've ever had, after trying out this one, my old steamer went in the trash. This is really well made and the compact design makes it easy to store, perfect for small kitchens. I love how it expands to fit in just about any pot - my old one was a one size deal so I always had to use one size pot - now I can use any of them, making it easier to steam differing amounts. It's well made and stainless steel- it's held up so far to numerous uses and trips to the dishwasher with no problems or deterioration. So far so good!
As a bonus, it's a great price point, I've seen similar ones sell for upwards of $30.
