DMT FSKF Diafold Serrated Knife Sharpener - Fine

Gets the Job Done
I ordered this for my fiance and he loves it. He has sharpened every knife in our house and at his parents. It doesn't look like much, but it definitely puts a sharp edge on any blade.

I ordered this particular one because it is sort of an all purpose, everday sharpener but even though it is only rated fine it still removes small nicks. We are going to buy the DMT ceramic extra-fine sharpener (white handle) too, so he can refine the edges even more.

This was kind of a throw away gift that turned into the best christmas gift of the year for him. I couldn't find any reviews for this product anywhere else, so I hope that this one is helpful.

Got it for my dad; he LOVES it!
My dad told me he wanted THIS EXACT SHARPENER for Christmas; so of course I got it for him. He wanted ONE sharpener for ALL his kitchen knives, smooth edged and serrated, his Swiss Army pocket knife, and anything else he could find to sharpen... maybe his chainsaw and lawn mower too, I don't know. Now when I visit him, his knives are perfectly sharpened. He likes the fine grit as opposed to the very fine or medium, and he loves how it opens and closes, and how it handles when open and in use. I wouldn't be surprised if he sleeps with it. He actually let me use it once (oooooh!) to sharpen a big, fancy Spiderco knife I have, and it's just as perfect as he says it is. Maybe I'll make him buy me one for Christmas this year.

hone
I've had this thing for many years now. When you're on the fly and don't have time to break out the stone to "sharpen" your knife, open this thing up, and perform a quick "hone" to realign the blade edge. Notice the difference. When it comes to pocket knives, I can sharpen them up pretty good with a dual composite stone. I also have a longer steel for the kitchen knives which I utilize to hone prior to each use. If the knife is of good quality, I'll take it in for professional sharpening. There is a big difference between sharpening and honing. Sharpening remakes the blade's edge. Honing takes that edges imperfections out or realigns the folded over or flat spots. Pull any knife out of your kitcnen drawer, look straight on at the edge, and you'll see light reflecting off of the imperfections, unless you hone prior to putting it away. My opinion, knives banging against each other in a drawer messes them up. That's why I hone prior to use.

NordicWare 15040 Cast Aluminum Stovetop Belgium Waffle Iron

follow the rules and you shall be rewarded
Wow! Magnificent waffles (and I've tasted my share) first time off the volley. How, you may ask, those 1-2 star reviewers? Oil the waffler lightly before the pre-heat. They're right, there is NO such thing as a completely stick-free waffler out there. And for those of you in love with teflon, good luck achieving the light crisp crunch exterior that yields to a light fluffy interior possible with this waffler. Waffle afficionados told me I had to find an old non-teflon waffler on e-bay or at a flea market. Imagine my surprise to run into this at a nearby kitchen supply store. Good thing I had not read the Amazon reviews, I might have been scared off. So make their suggested batter, lightly oil, pre-heat, pour batter and 3 minutes later--the BEST waffles out there. Merci, NordicWare.

The Only Non-electric Waffle Iron You'll Ever Need
I purchased this waffle iron four years ago.

And, I went through quite a few batches of waffle batter until I could heat the iron on the stove properly.

But, after a while I was making the tastiest waffles on the block.

Once I got the hang of using this waffler, I got rid of my electric
waffle iron!

I end with one word of advice. Please be sure to grease this waffle iron before you pour the batter on the grids.

Nordic Belgium Waffler
The new Nordic Belgium Wafflers are not the same high quality as previous models. Previous models include a temperature gauge and bake higher quality waffles. The new waffler does not hold the waffles to the outside surface until baked and the waffles end out collapsed and heavy. I used the older model at the same time with the same batter at similar temperatures and the waffles from the older model were light and crisp.

Nespresso D50-US-OR-NE Espresso Maker, Pure Orange

Absolutely the best espresso machine for this price!
Amazing quality espresso comes out of this machine. I love how everything is automated and there is no need to puncture or anything. Also, the fact that you can move the water to the sides is very good, especially if you are limited in counter space. The color orange pops out on the kitchen counter and everyone always asks what it is. Have it for a month now and no problems. In love with this thing!

This is amazing
Love this product. The price is great about $60 dollars cheaper then any other place I searched for. I had this machine at my office before i decided to buy one on my own. The coffee is amazing if you like espresso. Does not take up alot of counter space as I have a very small kitchen and the coffee is made within 30 seconds. I love it

nespresso
I like the machine. Great coffee, very cute design and takes little room. The only regret I have is that I have not ordered milk frother with the coffee machine. Could be a much better deal. Otherwise it is a great thing to look at and to start the day with)

Corelle Coordinates Burner Cover Set of 4, Simple Lines

Less mess under the unused burners!
My husband is the messiest chef when he tries to cook. He constantly splatters and gets food particles and sauces into the burners that aren't being used, leading to lovely burning smells and baked on messes next time those burners are used.

In the past I've tried telling him to stop, had him scrape off the burned mess, etc. But, he won't learn. These burner covers are the best idea I've had in a long time. They cover up the burners so no more mess underneath! They come clean easily with a little soap and water.

Plus they look great and don't have flowers or country patterns on them.

My stove looks a lot nicer
They're made of thing metal so don't expect anything too strong. I like the pattern and my electric stove looks a lot nicer with them. The one issue is we keep taking them off to cook and not putting them back =)

Great covers for price paid (under $6) - look great on white stove.
These are good covers for a reasonable price and are the same shade of white as my stove. The clean lines make the stove look cleaner than the colorful prints. These are thin, painted covers though and tend to get scratched over time and if you turn the burner on while the cover is on there the paint will turn brown almost immediately, so be careful! An alternative is plain stainless steel covers that hold up better to scratches and accidental turn-on of stove but will be pricier.

DeLonghi D24527DZ Dual Zone 3-Pound-Capacity Deep Fryer

Best Fryer for a family of 2 or more! It 's Incredible!
I bought this fryer mainly because of its capacity, we're a family of 4, and because I heard good things about it. I am so glad I did! This fryer cooks 3 pounds of food perfectly! I made a ton of homemade potato chips tonight. This fryer is easy to use and easy to clean, and, as a bonus, it's easy to drain so you can save your oil.

When I was a teenager I worked at Burger King, and cooking with this fryer made me feel like I was at the fry station again (not that I want to relive that feeling). But, really, it has an actual basket that lowers into the hot oil and it has a place to set the basket so when your food is done it drains properly.

My Chinese chicken and broccoli has never tasted so good! This fryer is a gem.

If you like to cook and want to cut down your cooking time on foods such as french fries, chicken, fish for tacos etc..., then this is definitely a purchase to make. Amazon has free shipping on this fryer which is why I bought it from...

Had no problems standing up to our Seafood Feast
My family and I celebrate Thanksgiving with a large seafood feast. Much of it is fried, and we need a LOT because everyone loves it. Traditionally, I have been the one camped outside in whatever weather happened to be around that year, frying up the large batches in my turkey fryer. While the adventure was always fun, monitoring temperature through multiple batches was difficult, and cleanup was always a nightmare. This year, we decided to try something that would keep me inside and possibly ease the cleanup effort. This fryer seems to be the answer.

First, I should say that I only give 5 stars when I can't think of a way to improve a product, so don't let the 4 stars color your impression. This fryer did everything I needed with no hassle. We were able to to fry up over 4 lbs of shrimp, 1 pint and a half of oysters, over 2 lbs of scallops, 4 soft shell crabs, and 3 large catfish fillets. I used smaller batches since this was my first time using the fryer, so it...

Decent, but a little pricey
Received this as a gift for Christmas '08. Have used it at least 8 times so far, and have had no problems with the function or electronics or anything. It does cook well, and it is nice and easy to clean once you have the oil drained (just throw most of it into the dishwasher!). However, one of the reasons that I requested this fryer was for the draining system, and I am pretty disappointed in it. I was hoping for something a little more sophisticated then just a simple valve that opens, like maybe a built-in filter and a reservoir to hold the oil.

If you want to drain the oil, you have to first find a nice container to use to store the oil in. Then you have to try and hold this container up to the valve, along with a strainer or other filter to keep the oil clean, and I found you also need a funnel to keep the oil from running all over the place. While holding all of these items under the valve, you then have to try and open the valve. Once most of the oil has...

Hamilton Beach 49611 12 Cup Coffeemaker with Digital Clock

Hamilton Beach 49611
I've only had for a few days, therefore 4* instead of 5* but so far I really like the features incl. being able to program to make coffee before I wake up, adjustments for strength of brew, and automatic shut-off so no burned coffee! Just hope it will last more than a year which the last two coffee makers didn't (both Black & Decker). It's also attractively designed! Only negative is that it needs cone type filters and I'm stocked up on standard ones.

Buy it!
We have used this maker for a couple weeks. The maker brews excellent coffee. I shake and the spout on the pot allows me to pour without spilling. For the price, you can't beat it.

Great Buy
Had a 4 cup coffee maker updated to this coffee maker and wished we would have done it sooner.
Really like the Bold coffee setting.
Also the clock is a neutral black numbers on gray.
