Krups TT6170 Stainless-Steel 800-Watt 2-Slice Toaster Review

Krups TT6170 Stainless-Steel 800-Watt 2-Slice Toaster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just got this toaster a month ago and I like it a lot. To be fair, I don't toast things every day but I have not had any cause for complaint yet. Put bread in, it toasts it evenly and you take bread out.
I think many people who like "artisan" bread will like this toaster because it does a couple of things that make weird size slices toast well. First, it has nice wide toast holders that can fit longer and thicker pieces of bread. It also has a pop height adjuster that can make it easier to get out those shorter slices. I can't find another toaster for the price that lets you toast this type of bread easily.
If you don't slice or eat specialty breads, you might not want to spend this much unless it is a good match for your decor. It still does toast regular store-bought bread well though. I also had good success with English muffins and bagels although I had to use a higher temperature setting to make it a one pop deal.

I spent way too many hours reading reviews and studying features of toasters. My husband finally chose for me and had Bella sent to the house. I just could not bring myself to spend that much money on a toaster. How different could it really be? Toast is toast. I had read someone commenting that the bread was toasted on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. I was skeptical. I make my own bread..sourdough, rye, and multigrain. I toasted multigrain first and was amazed. The toast was crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. It really is different. Even my son noticed the difference. The seeds and grains of the bread were actually enhanced by being warmed but not dry. I make bread in all sizes and it accommodates them all. Great for short pieces of bread-no need for tongs. Long oblong pieces fit great.
Pros: long slots, sleek style, easy to clean, built solid, have read you can replace the heating elements, toasts evenly, toasts only the outside of the bread (what a difference)
Cons: It is the size of a small mailbox.

Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls - Set of 4 Review

Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls - Set of 4
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I needed to replace a set of aging, dented old stainless mixing bowls. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyplace local that had a decent set. I wanted something heavy and durable, with commercial quality. These certainly fit the bill.
These bowls are made of a thick, high quality stainless steel. They have an edge across the rim that makes gripping them easy and comfortable. They're deep, which means that there is minimal "slop factor" when mixing liquids in them. I have a young daughter who likes to help in the kitchen, and sometimes gets a little over-animated in her mixing!
I've worked as a baker and chef, and can say that these bowls would easily stand up to the rigors of a commercial kitchen. Down sides? Some people may not appreciate the weight. Drop one on your floor and they'll leave a dent in the floor. Drop one on your foot and you may need to visit the doctor. Also, the largest of the four is big, and some may find the set takes up a lot of room in their cupboard. But, I'd say that these are not concerns of anyone wanting an indestructible set of mixing bowls that will last them forever.

Sharp SuperSteam Microwave Oven Review

Sharp SuperSteam Microwave Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off this is a VERY attractive appliance. The picture on the website does not do it justice, as weird as that may seem. It is substancial, well built, and looks and feels like something from a professional kitchen. Even though the measurements are documented, the oven just seems bigger. Personally, I think it's too big for a counter and would be best mounted into a unit. There could be some problems with mounting because you absolutely DO need the recommended space above, behind and to the sides - you can't get away with putting it up against anything if you plan on using the steam feature.
Good things:
The convention over works exactly as it should - I made a cake and it came out super-fluffy and perfectly cooked in and out, and very moist. Also made a sandwich and the bread was nice and crispy and the tomatoes inside were perfectly cooked. I made two chickens - one with the steam and one without. Both were good, but the one with the steam did get brown (lightly) and looked better, although they both tasted great and moist.
Microwave works fine. Downside is that there is no spinning wheel, so you have to stir and flip things around - AND - the microwave keeps stopping to tell you to do that. A bit annoying.
Although the job wheel feels very expensive and all the options are laid out well - I would prefer some buttons, espcially with the microwave. You can't just pop something in and start nuking. YOu have to press the microwave button and then use the wheel to go down one selection and then press enter and then use the wheel to spin to a time and then you can finally hit start. They should have moved that up one level to make it faster.
You get several well built pans and racks with this, which is very nice bonus.
The instructions are overwhelming, but when you actually go to use the oven, it makes sense.
Putting the water in for the steam function is very easy - a little box/cup thing comes out, you fill it and put it back in. done.
The auto sense microwave warming part works really well. I always want to doubt that it will work, but it actually does.
Overall it's a very intelligent unit, looks gorgeous and can completely replace your oven and microwave. Downside is that interface, which although it is slick, I don't much care for it and seems to require more thought than I care to put into microwaving something.
I would give it 4.5 stars because of that - but really it's a very nice oven.
One more thing - oddly enough, it does not put out excessive amounts of heat compared to your regular oven. You can open it during cooking and not get blasted by heat (although you should be careful). And cooking the chickens didn't heat up my whole kitchen or apartment like the oven usually does. The steam will kick up the humidity, but not that much.
Update - I wanted to add that I made a Flan recently and it came out perfectly. Usually I make it in a regular oven in a water bath. I skipped the water bath and just put it into the Sharp and chose convection oven - it came out perfectly cooked from edges to the middle! Anyone who has made a Flan will know how hard it is to get the center to cook correctly without overdoing the sides. I was pretty happy with this.

Cuisinart CPT-190 Brushed Stainless-Steel 4-Slice Toaster with Countdown Timer Review

Cuisinart CPT-190 Brushed Stainless-Steel 4-Slice Toaster with Countdown Timer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I thought this was going to be the perfect toaster. However, once again a toaster misses the mark.
I particularly like the countdown timer, because I always wonder how much longer it will take to toast my bread, but it would be nice if the counters only lit up when the toast control is pushed down. They do make nice night lights in the kitchen, though.
Deficiencies:
1. The slots are wide, but they are short, so thick bread will go in just fine, but not some wider bread types. 12 grain breads in particular tend to be wider, and the slices end up caught on the ends of the slots.
2. The first thing I noticed was that the center elements of the toaster did not get as red as the outside elements. Thus I was worried that the bread would toast darker one side than the other, and that was the case.
3. One side (2 slots) of the toaster refused to work on the third attempt. It would not latch down.
4. I had to set the control to 5.5 (the highest setting is 6) to toast multigrain bread to a medium color. I would guess that a setting of 1 or 2 would just slightly warm the bread.
This toaster seems to be optimized for bagels. I want a toaster that is optimized for toast!
When I was a kid, we had toasters that went tick tick tick, toasted the bread just right and then dinged, and didn't cost much. Why can no one make a decent toaster like that now?

Proctor Silex 22608Y Cool-Wall Toaster Review

Proctor Silex 22608Y Cool-Wall Toaster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've tried several toasters that were substantially more expensive and have determined that this basic, no frills Proctor Silex does a much better job of toasting bread. In fact I've done lots of research and have learned that all of the button functions on more expensive toasters are actually not necessary. For example: Cancel Button - not necessary, you simply lift up the lever to stop the toasting. Defrost Button - not necessary, all it does is lengthen the toasting time, so all you need to do is turn up the shade selector which does the exact same thing. Reheat Button - not necessary, just turn down the shade selector to the light setting and it will warm previously toasted bread without over-browning it. Bagel Button - there are 2 types of bagel functions out there, one toasts just one side of the bagel (which I don't like), and the other type toasts both sides and extends the toasting time (my preference). So for a bagel just turn up the shade selector which will extend the toasting time.

Having said all of this, I highly recommend the Proctor Silex 22608. It toasts bread evenly, and when using 2 slices, both sides of the bread are fairly uniform. It's versatile too as the slots adjust well for thin bread, thicker bread, english muffins, small bagels, and even larger bagels fit easily. Another nice feature is that it uses just 1 moving guide in each slot to keep the bread vertical. As a result the bread is not pinched together tightly between 2 metal guides so there are less grooves and white lines on the sides of the bread when it's done. It almost looks like it was done in a toaster oven. And the chrome cabinet with black side trim looks great on the kitchen counter.
I read where Consumer Reports rated this toaster #3 and I can see why. So save your money and get back to basics with the Proctor Silex 22608 !

Cuisinart Classic Brushed Stainless Toasters Review

Cuisinart Classic Brushed Stainless Toasters
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I don't think there's a toaster made that is perfect for everyones taste. For years I'd use a toaster oven with a toast timed setting because I could not only do more than two slices, but I could usually get even browning. Now I have this, and have had it for nearly two years. I bought it here on the Zon. One of those kitchen specials they frequently have giving me a good price overall.
The problem with toasters is that not only do some of them vary because of cheaply made or defective thermostats (trust me you ain't paying for a furnace quality control here), but because of the bread. The key to toaster is know your bread. Standard Sunbeam or Wonder bread needs about a 3 on this thing, premium breads do well at 3.5, muffins using the bagel button and so on. Your's may toast a bit different. Realize the science of toasting has to do with both the moisture and fat content of the bread or bagel, or muffing being toasted.
Dry Bialy bread has little fat content and little moisture but takes a 5 or six to get it toasted. Dry grocery store brand standard white will toast using a 1.5 to two setting. It has fat content and no water, probably the best combo to get a fast toast browning. You will also see a big difference in one or two slices, since the overall heat goes up in the toaster a lower setting is typically needed when doing two slices at once.
For features this has a number of simple but useful items. The slide out crumb tray in the back makes for easy cleaning. The button array contains not only the standard toast setting, but settings for defrost and reheat. This helps overcome the problem with stand alone toasters. You need to remember to dial down a little on repeated toastings. My toaster oven used to sense what temperature it was and then adjust the toast time, even though the setting never changed. I know that because it had a digital time readout. It first confused me when I did repeated toastings and the time would decline by maybe fifty percent or more. I noticed later that it always had the same time when cool and much less when it was warmed up. Toasters typically don't do that, so you must. There is also a bagel button which works well on English muffins too.
Additionally I like the feature that allows you to "pull up" on the set bar to remove "short" slices of bread after toasting. One of the old household dangers of toast was people putting in metal knives to remove toast, and getting shocked. Here you just raise it up, and then pluck it out. I toast almost daily, so this has held up two years without any complaints, so I'd say its durable. It comes in colors, but I like the all stainless model, it shines up so nice.

Put in 4 slices of toast and each slice comes up done to a different degree. Worse, for a given piece of bread one side may be done while the other is nowhere close.
When you look down into the 4 slots and see different glow intensities on each of the faces you see why this happens. Another reviewer wrote about getting one bad one, then replacing it with one that worked just fine. I just took back my 3rd one and gave up.
Its looks alone are worth a couple of stars. But I sure wish it worked.

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.

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.

DeLonghi DTT312 2-Slice Adjustable Toaster Review

DeLonghi DTT312 2-Slice Adjustable Toaster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My wife and I have been on a, to date, futile search for a toaster which actually does what it is supposed to do, properly toast bread. We have purchased and tried/tested about 10 different toasters and they have all been, more or less, disappointments as toasters. It seems that toaster manufacturers are more interested in style and fancy electronic functions than in producing a toaster which properly toasts bread to various degrees of doneness evenly. Most toasters require toasting at maximum then, when that cycle completes, immediatley continuing with an additional cycle of somewhat shorter duration because the maximum setting is inadequate to produce dark but unburnt toast in one maximum setting cycle. I ascribe this problem to two causes, underpowered and wide slots which keep the heating elements too far from the sides of the bread.
When we came upon the DeLonghi DTT312, and saw how the slot is variable and that the heating element moves with the variance of the slot width, we thought we'd finally found a toaster which would properly do what it's supposed to do, toast. We were also impressed with the potential ability to heat and toast a variety of breads, bagels, buns, sandwiches, pannini, etc. I was a bit concerned that it is only 800W in Canada (the Kenwood brand in the U.K. is 1075W and its a lot cheaper there, as low as 25 British pounds) but, because the element on one side moves with varying the slot width, I thought that would compensate for the relatively low power/heat. Anticipating that we'd found the Holy Grail of toasters, we bought it. We were like expectant parents, the removal of the toaster from its box was like the birth of a baby with all the hopes for the toaster being successful. I plugged it in, it turned on with a gentle chime, its first sound. I turned the toaster on by pressing the 3 wavy line setting and looked into it. I observed that some of the heating strips didn't glow at all and the strips that did glow glowing had small loops sticking out randomly at various points which glowed very red/hot with parts which didn't glow much. I thought, oh oh, potentially uneven toasting. I cut two identically thick pieces from a whole wheat loaf of bread and gently fed the toaster its first meal with the controls set to their recommended settings. After a short while, another gentle chime emanated from the toaster signalling the toast was ready. I pulled the lever upwards and discovered that the toast was inadequately toasted. I looked in the manual again and decided that the manual was incorrect, it had recommended setting the heat too low, two wavy lines, instead of higher, 3 wavy lines, for non-pre-sliced bread. I toasted two more slices at the higher heat setting which worked but the toast is unevenly toasted, the left slice was starting to burn at its left edge and both were more toasted a bit more in the middle than at their bottoms and tops. I was somewhat disappointed. I hadn't found the Holy Grail of toasters, just a variation on the theme of toasters which don't properly toast. I don't know if it is this particular toaster which has a manufacturing defect in that some of the heating strips don't work and that the quality of all of this model's heating elements/strips is inconsistent which causes parts of them to bulge out and get hotter than the rest of the parts of the strips which continue to lie flat but are not as hot both of which cause uneven toasting. I am taking this toaster back and will try to get the store to plug in another one to see if it has the same problems. If it doesn't, I'll exchange the one I've got for it. If If it does, I'll be requesting a refund and just use my energy wasting but evenly toasting "toaster" oven.

Harkening back to the unique design that the Friedr. Dick company debuted in 1905, this distinctively styled 12-1/2-inch serrated utility/bread knife from the Friedr. Dick 1905 Exclusive Series replaces the common rivets that mount the handle to the steel of the knife with a trio of metal rings. The symmetrical steel rings are inseparably connected to the molded plastic handle, using unique modern manufacturing processes, and it also complies with current high hygiene standards.
Made from high-quality German XCrMoVMn stainless steel--preferred by professional chefs--the blade is well sharpened and the knife enjoys perfect equilibrium, tapering at the tip. A finely dispersed martensitic structure is produced (starting with a hardness of over 60 HRc) thanks to a high-tech tempering process at temperatures of approximately 1950 degrees F and cryogenic treatment at temperatures as low as -310 degrees F. Targeted tempering in several stages at approx 392 degrees F carefully reduces hardness to 55HRc, which guarantees sharpness and retention of edge.
Manufactured in Germany, every Friedr. Dick finished knife is sharpened and honed by hand--just as it's been done since the company's founding in 1778 by Johann Friedrich Dick--and each knife is given the unmistakable Friedr. Dick etching. While this Friedr. Dick knife is dishwasher safe, it's recommended that you hand wash it using a mild dishwashing soap; rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a towel. Backed by a lifetime warranty.

Sunny Morning by Kalorik 25908T Toaster, 2 Slice Review

Sunny Morning by Kalorik 25908T Toaster, 2 Slice

OK, I fell for the cute accessories and cheery look of this toaster, plus its low price. (Why should a toaster, which works according to a simple principle, be expensive?) Silly me. It is so lightweight that it tips to one side when you push down on the lever. But the main problem is that it doesn't toast evenly. A single piece of sliced whole wheat bread comes out with gradations of toasted-ness . . . from pale to burnt. Also, the slots do not accommodate longer pieces of bread. Oh, and the toast literally pops! up, halfway out of the toaster, as if auditioning for a role in a sitcom. Maybe I should give it another star just for entertainment value.

Housed in white with tangerine-colored accents, this 700-watt two-slice toaster offers a cheerful way to start the day. Simply add one or two slices of bread, lower the lever, and turn the browning-control knob from one to seven depending on the shade desired. Toast will pop up automatically when it's ready to be slathered with butter and jam. The appliance also provides three simple push-button controls--cancel to end the toasting cycle at any time, defrost to toast previously frozen items, and reheat to warm up previously toasted items. Other thoughtful details include a cool-touch exterior, automatic shut-off, a high-lift lever for smaller bread pieces, cord storage, and a slide-out crumb tray for easy cleaning. As an extra bonus, a colorfully striped bread basket and two matching table mats come included. The two-slice toaster measures 10-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 7-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

They are excellent for baking my homemade bread. Period. I always grease and flour them, and they clean up extremely easily. Bread comes out of them very easily. A great value.

Oggi Two-Tone Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl with Airtight Lid Review

Oggi Two-Tone Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl with Airtight Lid

I really wanted to like these bowls. They were a great price and a good weight for a nice and sturdy mixing bowl. The lids fit nicely as well. However, the first time I stored food in one of the bowls overnight it formed rust spots that would not come off. I cleaned the next bowl (I ordered three sizes) right away and left it to dry in the dish drainer. It too formed rust spots. I have a cheap stainless steel bowl from a big box store that has never formed rust spots in three years so this poor quality is unacceptable.
