Haier HVTM08ABS 8 Bottle Electronic Controls

I have researched many caves before deciding on this point. I really wanted a dual temperature wine cellar, but most of them have not received good reviews. I decided on this because, although I'm not a huge white wine drinker, I always like when someone comes and I have to quickly hide a bottle of white in the freezer for a few minutes before serving.

First of all, this Haier HVTM08ABS 8 Bottle Electronic Controls is compact, fits in my kitchen cabinets and well done. It is sturdy and lightweight bottles illumiates Just look in the fridge without enormous attention.

8 bottles cellar and the temperature is adjustable depending on the ambient temperature of the room.

Upon arrival, I loaded my 8 bottles in the cellar and made ​​primarily during the night so that the temperature was 46 degrees. The shelves are grids and held a bottle, even after opening if you use a vacuum sealed the "plugs". I was able to take a bottle of white quietly for a few days before duty immediately or refrigerate.

Some critics complain about the fan noise, I have a very acute hearing, and even though I did hear the fan is not noisy. Perhaps more powerful than a computer fan, but not really. Really, I can not stand loud noises and I can hear the slightest noise, so if you do not mind, I can not affect most people.

Overall, I think this Thermoelectric Wine Cellar is a great wine, and I think to buy one for my collection red. It is a perfect size, it maintains a constant temperature and good looks. I myself sitting on my kitchen table.

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 13 Inch Flat Bottom

I feel lucky to have clicked "Daily Deals" and found this Calphalon Cookware Set on sale for $ 350 just a day after my wife informed me that they were in desperate need of some wells and new pots. For the price, I could buy 2 or 3 individual pieces of this quality at a local store, so after a few quick online search, and given the lifetime warranty offered by Calphalon, I decided to pull the trigger and buy this game . Since we had only a week or two, we use this system is limited, but I can already say that I will be a happy customer.
Taking the pieces of the box, I immediately noticed that there are several degrees above the pots and pans we use current (typically stick cookware generic Target / Walmart / etc) The first thing "I noticed is that each piece weighs much more complicated than its counterpart in the collection of old. Funds each pot / pan are incredibly thick (probably due to the construction of three layers), which means that heat is transferred quickly and evenly in the bottom, which proved to be the case in our limited use so far. The build quality of this set is excellent, with handles that are easy to hold and are securely fixed to the end of the cooking utensil. they feel like in appearance , and so far as well as cooked feel.
Also this Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 13 Inch Flat Bottom included in the box was a "Use and Maintenance" booklet that describes the best way to determine when the molds are ready to be cooked and where oils and cleaning methods that are best suited to the type of cookware you bought . Although this collection is dishwasher safe, wash the parties decided to deliver so far. I was worried at first when my wife showed me the "clean" pan after washing your hands first and still had brown spots of waste cooking oil. Then he went back and got the stove like new with some Bar Keepers Friend and a little elbow grease. She was using a soft cloth and then decided it would be wise to buy some tampons Dobie in the "Use and Maintenance" booklet recommendation.
My wife was also very happy when we read that the lifetime warranty will be voided if the pots are stored nested inside another (as in our current storage method), as they may damage the cooking surface. She was happy because it meant I was going to install a new pot rack to hang your new dishes. I have the luck! We also welcome offers Calphalon Stainless Steel Pasta Insert for 8 qt pot, given the amount of pasta is cooking would be a nice addition to this set, and perhaps our next purchase kitchen.
Although consumption is low in the week we've had this game, I am sure you will not be disappointed. But I will not hesitate to revise this review in the future if something happened that made me change my 5-stars.

Lindys Stainless Popcorn Popper 6 Quart

We used air poppers for years. We bought a new Lindys Stainless Popcorn Popper 6 Quart, but normal popcorn flavor, smell the heat caused by plastic, so decided to look poppers stove. Decided to aluminum possible reasons for health, which reduces options. Although more expensive, I had the pleasure so far. We cooked on six lots in the past two months, and the popper works well. Leave very little unpopped kernels with white Jolly Time popcorn. It's fast, 3-4 minutes. I use two tablespoons of canola oil and / or olive oil to half a cup of kernals. Clean and ready (I think washing occasionally to make sure pomace oil is not rancid). The upper part is fixed as others have said. The handle stays cool. The rotation of the handle is a little rough, but not significant at the moment. If you agree with the years, I will be very happy. It was shipped quickly and arrived well packaged without any damage.

Update 01/08/2013: I cook popcorn 2-3 times a week. This Stovetop Popcorn Popper worked very well. 9 months ago shovel shaft which rotates in the weld popper left. I think I had too much popcorn in. We contacted the company and they sent a free replacement blade. Easy to install, simply unscrew the crown at the top center of the lid popper, took off the shaft with the blade missing, and insert the new shaft / paddle and screwed in, and presto good as new.

We like to use Gourmet Popcorn Steinke the. Baby rice is our favorite. Their tender little beans are tasty, but we really like Gourmet Black for a crisp, nutty flavor. You can ask [...] we bought in bags of five pounds. I like to use 3 tablespoons of canola oil with a little salt added to the oil Season Johnny. I often add butter and if I want a little more flavor Johnny butter on the popcorn. Have fun!
