Athena 8 Cup Cafetiere in Chrome / Steel

Love everything about this. I bought this because it has no plastic parts (heated plastic is a quick ticket to the grave) and I love the styling, and yet it’s still affordable. The only thing that could improve this is if they had put a silicone gasket around the metal lid to keep it from breaking the beaker. So far, knock on wood, we haven’t allowed the metal lid to slide down too fast when putting the plunger in, but I feel like it’s only a matter of time before that happens. I feel so ‘grown up’ with such a beautiful press hanging around our kitchen. :o)

Aroma AIC-224W 4-Quart Wood-Barrel Ice-Cream Maker, Walnut 

This is the ideal home and small business ice-cream maker. Leaves the ice-cream so smooth that it disolves in your mouth with a sensation that cannot be imagine only feel. Easy to operate. Easy to use.

The Aroma ice cream maker is an attractive machine. I like it and have only used the electric part to make cream. I am satisfied with how it is made. But the motor is not very strong and will stop turning when the cream starts to get hard. If you let it sit for an hour or more it will begin to hardened. But if you want to eat it after the motor stops, it will be like a milk shake.

AMERICAN HARVEST FD75PR 700-WATT FOOD DEHYDRATOR

Am very Happy with this product as it does what it says it will do in the time frame stated. The food on the outside dries faster but that is to be expected. It is easy to operate. We have added two additional trays at this time. I have purchased some frozen vegetables that were on sale and thawed them in warm water, dried them a bit and placed them in the dehydrator and it has done a fantastic job. I am familiar with drying food but have not had a dehydrator before. I have a FoodSaver Mini Plus to vacuum seal the finished product. Love them both and it is a good investment for me.

Highly recommend this product. I had checked reviews before the purchase.Nesco FD-75PR 700-Watt Food Dehydrator

Alessi Stefano Giovannoni Toaster

I really don’t like most toasters. They tend to eat counter space, look like a tank and last about a year.
This toaster took a while to arrive but its been in the kitchen for more than a year now and its awesome.

The toaster looks great, is easy to clean, takes of nearly no space, works perfectly and even fits long baguette pieces.
We don’t used the bun warmer.

8″ Impulse Sealer With Cutter (SPBC8) Category: Impulse Sealers and Cutters 

I was looking for a sealer for our biochemistry lab in order to seal western blot membranes in plastic bags while incubating with antibody. It works perfect. Fast, no sticky corners, 100% sealing and nice quality. It looks and feels like it will last for the next 100 years.

6 Cup Grandpappy Electric Deep Fryer

I have had this deep fryer in the past, tried two others since and have kept going back to this one. I like the Grandpappy size because I can fry a lot or little at one time. It frys evenly, even when it gets the flour at the bottom, and it is so easy to clean and use. I have given away my fancy ones for this down to earth “best of the best” fryers. Thank goodness I was able to find it on Amazon after the one I used for a zillion years lost most of its coating and I decided to retire it. It was still cooking even, though, just decided it was time for me to get a new one in case I couldn’t find one in the future if it ever gave out!

4 Slice Capacity Toaster Oven

I love this toaster oven. some are made very cheaply and this one is solid. Does not take up alot of space but has enough room to put 2 large slices of Pizza in to warm up and of course 4 pieces of toast. This was a great buy for the money. I paid 70.00 for the one I returned prior to this toaster oven and it did not even measure up to this little toaster.

Panasonic 3.3c Rice Cooker Steamer

I have gone through many rice cookers – more expensive models $100-$200. Although these expensive models have convenient features, I just could not keep up with detail cleaning. They have inside lids, areas that are hard to reach, small holes around steam vents….. Pretty soon, I find myself cooking with no so clean rice cookers. This model is good because I only have to wash the lid, and inside pot. So easy! I love it.
