Sunbeam 3823-100 4-Slice Wide Slot Toaster, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am not a toast expert that many seem to be regarding reviews. All I wanted was a toaster that did a good job. First tried a Dualit ($108), and returned it since many of the elements either with not heating equally, or were not lit up at all. Then I tried just a two-slice Kitchen Aid ($70). It worked OK, but the housing was so big, there was almost 2 inches from the front of the toaster to the edge of the toast opening. I returned it too, really wanting a 4 slice. I took a chance on the Sunbeam, have had it for about 3 months, and it toasts very good. I found it toasted the edges better when you laid the bread down, rather than standing it up. I have not tried the bagel option yet. It has consistently toasted the bread the same each time at the same setting. I have been setting it at 4.5. I also like the "interrupt" button just below the setting knob. Just a light touch pops the toast up. I had a previous toaster where I had to push very hard to make it work (sometimes!)

Present an assortment of petit fours or truffles on this Royal Albert Old Country Roses 8-inch butterfly dish. The Royal Albert tradition reaches back over 100 years and has earned two Royal Warranties from their products\' use by England\'s Royal Family. However, Royal Albert\'s greatest achievement came from designer Harold Holdcroft\'s 1962 creation of the Old Country Roses dinnerware pattern. The bone china collection caught on like wildfire and still remains the world\'s bestselling dinnerware pattern. With its main motif of England\'s national flower blooming against lush foliage, the dinnerware manages to be romantic while patriotic, traditional but timeless, pastoral yet sophisticated. The pattern blends in as easily on a modern London flat\'s countertop as on the a remote farmhouse dinner table in Wisconsin.
The butterfly dish\'s composition of double-fired bone ash and porcelain provides a surprisingly strong construction in contrast with the design\'s fine appearance. Montrose shaping and subtly scalloped edges contain the handpainted boughs of yellow, scarlet, and pink roses and green leafy brambles. Hand-applied 22-carat gold trim and accents enhance the graceful interior images. It is inadvisable to microwave this dish due to the gold stippling. For the best care, hand wash the dish with a non-abrasive scrubber and mild detergent. Likewise, avoid stacking dishes to prevent scratches to the bone china construction. In the event of any chips or breakage under regular use, parent company Royal Doulton offers the Royal Assurance guarantee for all Royal Albert china pieces registered on their website within 30 days of purchase. The plan replaces the piece, if available, for two years following purchase free of charge. Crafted in the United Kingdom, the dish measures 8 by 6 by 2-1/2 inches and weighs 1 pound upon shipping.

Deni 14150 Electric Food Slicer Pro II Review

(More customer reviews)
This product is TERRIBLE. I caution EVERYONE to stay as far away from this as they can. I bought it, used it to slice cheese and the motor literally stopped, even on the highest speed. It has a variable control speed dial and if you put it on the lowest setting it can go, it sounds like something is caught up in the blade and the engine is going to catch on fire--and that's without trying to cut anything.
I'm not kidding, this is a terrible product. I hope someone else doesn't make the mistake I did. Fortunately I was lucky in that the seller decided to give me my money back (I still had to pay for shipping to and from the seller which came to $30). At the time, I couldn't find any reviews for this product and I thought they couldn't possibly screw something like that up...at least for what I wanted to use it for.
If you /do/ buy this thing, you'll be sorry...mark my words.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After many years of having a toaster oven, I finally got sick of the mess of it and decided to go with a toaster instead. My husband actually picked this one because of reviews he had read on it. I love several of the features on it. You have a defrost cycle for your frozen items that works perfectly on bagels. Then there is the bagel setting that only toasts the inside parts of the bagel, which keeps the crust soft. While I will admit it took several tries to figure out the way to put the bagels in for this feature....once you get it ...you'll love it. I finally have perfect toast, bagels and waffles. I also love to crumb trays....so easy to clean.

An attractive addition to any kitchen counter, this four-slice toaster features extra-thick housing and die-cast knobs, buttons, and levers. Its advanced electronic sensor monitors the temperature and adjusts toasting time according to the internal temperature of the toaster, ensuring consistent toasting results batch after batch. Measuring 1-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, the extra-wide, extra-long toast-loading slots work together with self-adjusting grips to center the bread for precise, double-sided toasting. The unit provides cancel, defrost, and bagel functions, plus an easy-to-read thermostat control with six settings for toasting to individual preferences. Other highlights include an extra-lift lever for safe removal of food and an extra-deep "push open" crumb tray that slides out for fast, easy cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher. The toaster measures 14 by 12 by 8-1/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Wusthof 2036 Bamboo Cutting Board Review

Wusthof 2036 Bamboo Cutting Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this Wuestof cutting board as a gift, along with some Wuesthof knives and kitchen shears. (if you would like to read my reviews for these items, click on "see all my reviews".) It's a good combo; I only had plastic cutting boards, and the wooden ones better for your knives. Plastic ones (and don't get the really hard ones)are useful for cutting meat, and putting into the dishwasher; but the wood looks nicer. Also,it is made from bamboo, a renewable resource, and not from petrochemicals.
This 8X12 cutting board is just right size for slicing, dicing and chopping up a few veggies. The Wuesthof 4.5 inch "multi-prep cook's knife" works very well for this. The Wuesthof logo is imprinted on the front side, but I don't see "Emeril" on it anywhere. The back side of the board is a cutting board,too, but it also has four rubber "feet" which add stability when used right-side-up. Groves on either side provide easy hand-holds. Flip it right-side up, pair it with a cheese knife, and you're good to go for serving cheese.
Good price/value. Treat it well--don't use the dishwasher or serrated knives, condition it with mineral oil from time to time. Highly recommend.

I bought this brand of toaster bags (from a different retailer), and the first time I used them, one of the bags melted, making a decent-sized hole. This defeated my purpose of keeping my gluten-free bread safe from contamination by all the gluten crumbs in the toaster at work. It's possible that the toaster at work gets hotter than normal toasters, but I would think most users would be using this sort of toaster at work, hotels, etc.

It has a hard crust feature to replicate the European crusts. It even does bagels that come out as bought at the deli.

It's the best knife and he says when he dies I get that little jewel.He uses it every morning for his fried potatoes.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature 7-Piece Knife Set with Block Review

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Signature 7-Piece Knife Set with Block
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having used some of Henckel's higher-priced professional lines, when the time came to buy a new set of starter knives I figured I'd stay with the brand. I ended up choosing the Twin Signature line 7-piece block set because it was a good compromise between quality and price.
Because the knives are stamped, not forged, you won't get the precise lines you get on the $80-a-knife lines, but the edges are well-finished and stay fairly sharp if you hand-wash them. I've been generally pleased with how they cut, and the chef's knife in particular has an excellent heft and balance for my somewhat larger hands.
The paring knife and the serrated utility knife are also gems. They're extremely well-sized, and have just enough flex to get the job done without feeling flimsy.
The scissors are sharp and extremely sturdy; I'm hard on this particular piece of kitchenware so I'm very pleased by that. Finally, the block is well-made and thought out. It has room for several more knifes as you expand your set.
The tips on the larger knifes aren't as well-finished as I would like, but that's about my only complaint. Just don't expect the sort of sturdiness you'd find on professional knives; these won't last quite as long without sharpening and you can't bang them about quite as much. For a serious home cook on a budget, though, they'll do just fine.
My plan is to use these for starters, and over time pick up two more Twin Signature paring knives, and one more 8-inch chef's knife from the Five-Star series for serious work.

Mundial Solid Wood Cutting Board, Large Review

Mundial Solid Wood Cutting Board, Large
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a very nicely made cutting board and a great value at the price. BUT, I think it is a bit too big for use as an everyday board. I purchased both this board and the medium Mundial cutting board. They are identical except for the size. After having had them for a month or so, I have found that I use the medium board nearly everyday, while this board is a bit too large and heavy for use as an everyday cutting board. Rather, it is the board you break out for those big turkeys and hams on Thanksgiving & Christmas.
The bottom line is if you are looking for one everyday cutting board, I highly recommend the medium version of this board instead of this one. Or, do like I did & get both and have this one "on standby" for large roasts and poultry.
