Cuisipro Peanut Butter and Jelly Spreader Review

Cuisipro Peanut Butter and Jelly Spreader

What a nifty little item this is and it has brought some peace to our tumultuous household, and indeed, marriage. I note it has been said that this is the ideal kitchen utensil to be use by children making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. This is quite true, but in our case, it is not the children who need the help and/or training, but rather me! I love PB&J sandwiches and snack on them quite often. It has long been a point of contention between my wife and me, in that I tend to get the peanut butter in the jelly jar and jelly in the peanut butter jar. Messy, messy, messy. I don't really mean to do this but it seems it is in my nature to make a mess of such things when I muck about in the kitchen.

My wife is an understanding lady; a lady with infinite patience; quite likly to become a Saint when the time comes, make no mistake, but after 47 years of ranting (this for some reason is a sore spot with her), she finally took action and purchased one of these little items for my use. I must say it works perfectly and since about a month ago I have not had to listen to one sarcastic remark, receive one lecture, or endure one of her dark and penetrating looks of disgust and distain. Shivers!
This Cuisipro Peanut Butter and Jelly Spreader performs just the way they say it will. Being color coded, I find that even I can remember which end to use during each phase of building my sandwich. The two food jars stay pristine and true to their original contents; no cross contamination or pollination or what ever you want to call it here, no, no, no! This makes her happy and certainly takes much stress out of my life.
The length of this thing is adequate and it allows you to make a nice even spread of the peanut butter, which as all lovers of this classic food know, is extremely important. The jelly, depending one what flavor is more problematic due to the consistency of the various varieties, but as I always use either cheap grape or more expensive elderberry, I have mastered those two perfectly. I doubt if I will experiment with other flavors of jelly due to the fact that after all these years I am a bit set in my ways so I am not going to worry about it. Let the younger folk, the more daring, find for themselves if this item works on strawberry preserves, marmalades and jams. My adventuresome days are over.
Clean up is a snap as a quick run under the water tap and wipe from a paper towel leaves absolutely no residue smeared on the counter top...something else that seems to throw her, i.e. my wife, into a state of extreme agitation. The one small problem I did find was the same that another reviewer here has already mentioned. If you use the jelly end first, then reverse for the peanut butter, then you tend to get jelly on your hand. Now it is a known fact that if you put the peanut butter on last, the sandwich simply DOES NOT taste right. I have found that simply licking the jelly off the fingers works best and is rather enjoyable. If my hands happen to be dirty at the time, then I let my dogs do it. They seem to enjoy it and I share my sandwiches anyway.
Now the 25 year warranties is nice, make no mistake, but for me that is rather moot as it is quite unlikely that I will make it to the warranty cut off date. It is comforting to know though that it will last longer than I will and I am safe from and spared her wraith.
I do highly recommend this product. If you share my traits in this area, it will make your life so very much more pleasant. Now....if I can just remember to reseal the bread and put the lid back on the two jars and place the jelly back into the refrigerator, or.....well, I will work on those things later.

Fred & Friends Cakewich Cake Mold Review

I seen this pan featured in a magazine and I _had_ to get it. It appealed to the cake maker in me and I thought it would be really cool. I was concerned about how the pan would release as I have used silicone pans in the past that were a major pain to get off the cake.
I didn't need to worry. Fred and Friends always makes quality products and this one is no exception. The white pound cake recipe given to create the peanut butter and jelly cake is great. The peanut butter filling is terrific. I used damson plum jelly because I wanted some tartness to go with the sweetness of the cake and peanut butter.
The pan released the cake like a dream. No trying to peel the silicon off the cake while tearing up the cake. No trying to shake it loose or gently prying the cake from the pan.
I frosted this cake with the peanut butter frosting and took it to work. Ar first, people did think it was a giant peanut butter and jelly sandwich and were curious as to why I brought it in. Once they realized it was cake, it was gone in a flash. And you don't have to make it peanut butter and jelly - there are some tips on the box about making a different flavor cake with this pan.
I recommend this pan highly to anyone who wants to make a different kind of cake for a birthday or some other occasion. You will really enjoy using this pan and the people who are lucky enough to get this cake will love it.

I've tried almost every major brand of bread machine they make (including the Zojirushi), and returned ALL of them - until I got this one! The T-Fal OW5005002 Emerilware Bread-and-Baguette Maker does everything it says, and does it well! I've made cakes (they resemble pound cakes), the baguettes (adorable AND tasty), and several loaves of delicious bread in it! It has two paddles, which does make a difference when kneading dough. The crust selector works better than any other bread machine I've had, and I was really impressed that the breads came out with one texture, the cake another, and the french baguette recipe a third! It makes decently textured pizza dough too (though the delay timer doesn't work on the dough cycle, so I have to make it at the right time to have it ready for dinner).
The unit itself is pretty large, but it functions quietly, and stays in one place on the counter. The pan is 8 5/8" by 4 3/4" by 6" tall, so it makes a loaf that is actual loaf pan-sized! It has way more wattage than the Zo (1650 vs. 700), and so far is proving to be a stunning value! Highly, highly recommended!
I've since found out that the 'cake' cycle is the quick bread cycle. Bakes a wonderful one from a box (that's the only kind I've tried so far). Also, I've tried fat-free loaves and it worked great with them too.
I'm a little disappointed that there's no 'bake only' cycle. That would help me a lot with sourdough loaves.
