Victorio VKP1012 Hand Operated Grain Mill Review

I bought this product so that I could grind small amounts of flour from less common whole grains for breadmaking and emergency preparedness purposes.
The grinder is very simple to put together and fairly easy to use. Be aware that you may have to tighten the clamp occasionally as you use the grinder, but it is not difficult to do. I wouldn't attempt to grind large amounts of flour at a time unless you want your arms to hurt, but it is perfect for grinding a few cups at a time for a recipe- and kids love to help out!
Also, while the coarseness of the flour can be varied, but it will not produce a superfine (cake) flour.

No emergency food storage stash is complete without the Victorio hand operated grain mill. Precision stainless steel milling cone is durable and provides the ability to grind fine bread quality flour when you need it. Milling cone is adjustable lets you grind coarse or fine and everything in between. Some people tell us it looks just like another grain mill on the market. Maybe it does, but put them both side-by-side and you will find that the Victorio grain mill grinds much finer. So don't be fooled into thinking they are all the same, this is the one you really want. Designed to be all-purpose so it can grind wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley and more. Can even be used to grind coffee beans, peppercorns, non-oily seeds as well as spices. Makes about one half cup of fine flour per minute and more than twice that amount on the coarse setting. Small compact design makes it easy to store.

Proctor Silex 22605 2-Slice Toaster Review

Beware! Once you've selected the "shade" of how you want the toast, and depress the lever, the only way you can get it to stop earlier is to unplug it!! I hate that aspect. I keep my bread in the freezer, so it takes longer to toast. The first time I used it, I set it for too dark. The toast started burning. I tried pushing up on the lever like you would to most toasters, but nada! I had to unplug it to make it stop. Very poor design. Other than that, I like it. It's not only wide enough for bagels, but long enough for Branola or Orowheat bread, which not all
toasters are. I plug this into a surge surpressor now, so if it needs to come out early, I trip the surpressor, and the toast pops up.

I love this toaster. When our old one died I debated whether to get another plain 2 piece toaster again or get something more. I'm glad I went with option B. My family pulled this out and couldn't start making egg balogna (only pre-cooked meat available) sandwichs quick enough. The toast, eggs and meat come out perfectly and all at the same time. I even put 2 pieces of bread in late and popped it down. They all came out evenly and hot. Many manufacturers have gone to short cords for safety, but if you have cabinets, all that heat dries out the wood. This toaster features a longer power cord so you can pull it out to the front of the counter. If there's a downside to this toaster, it would be the fact that the meats have to be pre-cooked. This will only steam them. Raw bacon isn't going to work. Another would be the footprint of this unit. It is about the size of two and a half standard toasters so make sure you have enough counter space. If that's not a problem, then buy this toaster and don't forget the eggs.

Make delicious egg-and-muffin sandwiches at home in about four minutes with this multi-function toaster. The appliance can toast up to four slices of bread, English muffins, bagels, or croissants, while it simultaneously steam-poaches eggs and warms pre-cooked meat. It can also hard- or soft-boil up to eight eggs at a time thanks to the included egg basket. In addition to heating up pre-cooked meat, the two included meat trays can be used to heat slices of tomato or pineapple to accompany toast or a breakfast sandwich--the options are endless. The unit's dual control panel allows for selecting from egg/toast, toast, and egg functions; bagel and defrost settings; and light to dark shade control. Other highlights include self-centering guides, a high-lift function for safely removing smaller bread types, a cool-touch exterior, a crumb tray for quick clean-up, and cord storage to help keep countertops tidy. The egg-and-muffin toaster measures approximately 16 by 11 by 8 inches and carries a one-year warranty.
