Presto 07034 Jumbo Cool Touch Electric Griddle, Black Review

Presto 07034 Jumbo Cool Touch Electric Griddle, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am extremely pleased with my purchase of the Presto 07034 Jumbo Cool Touch Electric Griddle. For a long time, I have used basic stovetop frying pans to cook such things as scrambled eggs, fried eggs, pancakes, French toast, hash browns and a variety of other grilled foods. Unfortunately, the typical frying pan usually isn't large enough to cook larger amounts, so you end up spending more time cooking smaller portions. Not so with the Presto 07034 Jumbo Cool Touch Electric Griddle. With its 10-1/2 by 20-1/2-inch cooking surface, it has twice as much cooking area than a typical stove-top circular frying pan and lack of sides makes turning cooking items much easier. Its non-stick surface ensures that food doesn't get stuck while cooking and makes cleaning the grill a snap! Also, it cooks foods more evenly than my stovetop frying pans ever did!
Overall, I rate the Presto 07034 Jumbo Cool Touch Electric Griddle with a resounding 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it. If you have a relatively small kitchen, you may have some problems storing it. If this is true, see if you can rearrange things a bit because the time saved by using the Presto 07034 Jumbo Cool Touch Electric Griddle is well worth it!

I also own its big brother and both pans work extremely well. Efficient, even heating. Upright handles make the pan easier to lift. Solid, heavy contruction. I like going from oven to stove top for making gravy. Easy to clean (dishwasher safe).
Worth the price for All Clad quality and the perfect roasted bird.
Update 1/7/07: This pan does not work on induction cooktops

It's kind of like buying your first sofa; purchasing a real roasting pan (tin foil ones from the grocery store don't count) is a marker for adulthood. Don't trust those special occasions and holiday gatherings to inferior cookware. After all you're not just making good food, you're making memories. This superbly crafted roaster comes with a non-stick roasting rack. Now all you need is the bird or roast!

Chef's Choice 675 International Cordless Electric Hot Pot Review

Chef's Choice 675 International Cordless Electric Hot Pot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just recieved this kettle to replace a rival hotpot. The Rival lacked an on-off switch. It also gave off some strange tastes and some say stainless is better than plastic that way.
I reheat coffee and heat canned goods in the hotpot as it's easier for me than the range and the wide opening on this hotpot allows one to clean it easily though the lid won't lift as far as you'd like.
On recieving this kettle my first thought was the base was of light gauge plastic - seemed a little cheap. But I suppose that's ok if it turns out to be durable. Next I was amazed that the stainless vessel was of lighter gauge than I expected. This is probably all good though. Some reviewers of the other stainless kettles remark that they are heavy and get 'dangerously' hot. This one is actually reasonably light to maneuver. And if I boil 2 cups of water - turning it off myself which is before the automatic shut off - the stainless is just warm at the top; not really hot. If it doesn't wear out this is fine for my needs. Also - it looks like the picture. I give it one star for the appearance of the polished stainless, but that is subjective. Have to admit though, it cleans good.
3 year later: Still works fine and I've fired it up every day 3-5 times. V Fine.

Oil Dispenser With Measuring Tube Review

Oil Dispenser With Measuring Tube
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros - easy to measure oil, stable/won't tip - measuring right in the
baster thingy - attractive.
Cons - be careful! I lifted mine up by the neck and the neck came OFF!
It is NOT securely attached to the base (pear shaped part). Oil
went everywhere as it fell to the floor. BUT I was determined,
washed it all and CRAZY GLUED the neck (baster holder part)
to the base (pear shaped part). I recommend that you don't ever
lift it by the neck! What a horrible mess that was - and
very unexpected as I thought the unit was all one piece - it is
not. Oh, yeah, don't expect the baster to hold all the oil
well until it gets to your salad - plenty of "drip potential"
there so always move whatever you are moving the liquid to right
TO the oil dispenser! Do NOT put this item near your oven or
range or anything that an accidental drip from the baster or heat
would melt the dispenser/fire hazard. Hard to clean as oil
naturally would be from plastic. I do not know if dishwasher
safe / does not feel like it...?
Tip: Do not fill it up all the way up to the neck. If you do the
baster part gets all oily (or whatever is in the base). Only
fill it to the fill line.
Conclusion - TERRIFIC item. Just a few cautions / but works great and
the measuring part is a MUST. DO BUY THIS - you won't
be sorry at all...just be cautious with it in all ways.
I AM very happy with mine / even if I have crazy glued the
neck to the base - its a keeper! I expect tupperware
or equivalent to come out with an improved $-ier version.
Until then, try this. Carefully.

Mastercool MSC52224A Infrared Thermometer Review

Mastercool MSC52224A Infrared Thermometer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this to use at my stove when cooking. It takes a little getting used to, since surface temperatures are significantly different from interior temperatures. Like, when cooking caramel, the surface temperature seems usually to be about 10F cooler than the interior (measured with a normal digital thermometer), whereas things in the oven, the surface will obviously be much hotter than the interior (so much hotter that this is really only useful on the stovetop.)
Once you learn to compensate for stovetop use, though, this thing is incredibly handy. Checking frying oil to make sure it's at 375F for best deep-frying results, checking on confections to stop them at the right temperature, making sure custards in a double-boiler aren't approaching a boil, I use this thing all the time. It sits on the shelf immediately above and to the left of my stove so it's within easy reach when my intuition isn't enough or I'm trying to do many things at once.
This was the least expensive one I could find on Amazon, too, with a decent FOV. For cooking, this one's 1:12 view cone is great -- means when you point and shoot from a foot away, it's sampling a 1" circle. Some of the other inexpensive ones have cheaper optics and some are as bad as 1:1, which means to sample a 1" circle you'd have to hold it an inch away from the surface -- completely unfeasible when cooking something like caramel, if you value your skin.
