Krups FEM4B 4-Slice Toaster, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I read previous reviews of this and other toasters that I had considered purchasing. I have always had good experiences with Krups, Kitchen Aid, Braun, and Cuisinart products-- in that order. At home, we really enjoy and have had great experiences and reliability from the first two brands in particular.
Many of today's toasters seem more like small ovens, given the amount of wattage output they can deliver. In the case of the toaster, I chose the Krups 4-slice toaster. (The Kitchen Aid was a bit too long for the small amount of counter space that I have in my apartment's kitchen). Both have very wide slots, seemingly designed for bagels and frozen breakfast treats.
I noted that some reviewers had complained that the Krups does not toast evenly. I have used a number of brand name toasters, and one could say the same for all-- especially those with the wider slots.
What I do like about the Krups is that it does do a great job in positioning and holding bread evenly between the heating elements in each slot, which in turn is helpful in evenly toasted bread. Whether the toasting is even depends, I found, on the freshness and size of the bread; also, you should experiment with the heat settings, to determine which is best for you. Larger loaf sizes will bend slightly to one side or the other in the slots; hence, I do not always obtain even toasting of these bread slices.
I am very satisfied with the results that I obtain from the Krups toaster, and recommend it without reservation.

The Krups 4 slice toaster has 1600 watts of power and two independent sets of controls. Each chamber is designed to quickly brown the surface of the bread and retain the soft texture within. The integrated warming tray is easy to clean, removable and dishwasher safe. It quickly warms breads, muffins, pastries, and other baked goods without drying them out. The 8- setting browning selector accommodates all toasting preferences accurately and consistently at all levels. The 3- position metal control lever turns right to toast and left to raise the bread for easy one- handed removal.Bagel function toasts bagels from the cut side while warming the crust while the defrost function warms frozen bread through then toasts. The stop eject button halts the toasting cycle at the touch of a button. Comes with 1-year warranty.

Team SM-17947 1500-Watt 4-Slice Sandwich Maker, Stainless Steel and Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an easy to use basic 'stuffed sandwich' or 'pocket sandwich' maker. It uses regular sized store bought bread (think Wonder Bread size) and you can use whole wheat or even use home made bread if you bake it in that size. The inside style is the exact same as the the Cuisinart Sandwich Grill except that this "Team Sandwich Maker" makes double the amount of sandwiches, so you get four sandwiches, which can be cut down the seam in the middle to make 8 pocket sandwiches. This is the same basic design of sandwich maker that has been around for years. This takes 8 slices of bread at a time.
This works great for lunch with the kids -- they can personalize their own sandwich fillings and all the sandwiches cook at once. They take about 5-8 minutes to cook depending on the fillings and how done you like them. Some the kids favorite sandwiches are peanut butter, jelly, and banana (just a few very thinly sliced rounds), pizza -- mozzarella cheese and favorite pizza toppings, served with pizza sauce on the side for dipping after the sandwiches are baked. I like a swiss cheese and veggie melt. If you do an internet search for 'sandwich maker recipes' you will find a bunch of ideas for breakfast, lunch, and dessert recipes to make in this. You do have to be careful not to overstuff the sandwiches or you might have trouble closing the sandwich maker and fully cooking them.
This is a big sandwich maker and does not stand up vertically to store, which would have been nice. It looks like it might have been supposed to stand up, but it is not sturdy enough to unless it is up against a wall. There is also no cord wrap around but really those are just little cosmetic storage problems that do not affect the sandwich making ability of this item.
I would buy this again for sure because it works as expected and it is tough to find one of these sandwich 'stuffers' that makes four full sandwiches instead of the usual two.

Make 8 sandwich pockets with this easy-to-use countertop appliance--great for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner. Simply layer ham and cheese or a vegetable medley between four slices of bread, set on the grill, and close and lock the lid. Sandwiches come out perfectly browned and sealed, with a diagonal indentation making them easy to slice in half. The grill can also be used for making waffles and omelets. The 1500-watt unit heats up quickly and features nonstick plates that ensure effortless food release and simple cleanup. Other highlights include power and preheat lights, safety pilot lights, a cool-touch handle, and a convenient cord wrap, as well as a stand-up design for space-saving storage when not in use. Housed in durable plastic with a decorative stainless-steel plate, the four-slice sandwich maker measures 12-1/2 by 14-1/2 by 6-1/4 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Sharp R-55TS Warm & Toasty Toaster/Microwave Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In the aesthetics department this item is top notch for anyone going for a stainless steel look in their kitchen. Brushed steel on front, with a black glass window - black metal on sides. Surprisingly, this is more important that I would have thought.
It microwaves well, though at 650W. The controls are convienent, and fast - with a single "one minute" button to save time on reheats. Seems to cook very evenly.
A nice function is the ability to turn the sound off completely - ridding your home of one source of beeps and chirps.
The oven works well for cooking. The toaster works surprisingly well, but it takes close to 3 minutes for a slice of bread. In the toast department, I'd recommend a stand-alone drop-in style toaster.
You can combine cooking and microwaving in steps (thaw then cook, not both at once).

Krups FEM2B 2-Slice Toaster, Black & Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After having gone through several toasters that looked sleek, but couldn't toast worth a darn -- let alone set off the smoke alarm -- I turned to Consumer Products for guidance (11/04). We picked their number 2 because it looked functional without too many needless gimmicks, whereas the brand name of #1 reminded us too much of the toaster that burnt the bread and toasted its electronics. Also, rather than spending over ten bucks on a "Small Applicance Contract", we tossed in three more bucks to get the number-four-rated toaster as a backup should the Krups ever fail. The toaster yields a nice evenly browned slice of bread or toaster waffle without beeping, dancing or burning up the kitchen. Sorry to learn that others encountered uneven browning -- we are delighted with the Krups, and it looks good too.

Corelle Livingware Country Cottage 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 Review

(More customer reviews)Corelle dishes really are the best! Lightweight and easy to handle, beautiful and timeless in design. I have always wanted to fill my kitchen with them! At this price I have been able to purchase several sets, enough for company!
Our family doesn't use many mugs- and I was thrilled to find the sets with matching drinking glasses instead. They set an absolutely beautiful table.
If you enjoy a simple country design, you'll love these dishes.
Corelle is durable and stays lovely for years-- My mother still has the set (trimmed with yellow butterflies) I grew up with years ago! Just be careful not to drop a plate or bowl- they can really shatter!!
I love my set, and would absolutely order these again.

Corelle Livingware Winter Frost White 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Here is the product that started it all. Created originally as an alternative to Melmac, way back in the Nixon administration, it has captured the imagination of America, especially when it was found that one could microwave food on it.
Its siblings, in Butterfly Gold, Spring Green, Snowflake Blue, Old Town Blue, et al, alas, are not longer available. But this set 100% compatible, so it makes for a quick way to restock broken pieces (no, NOTHING is 100% indestructible) at half the price of replacing pieces one (or four) at a time.
No, it doesn't have the stackable (and microwaveable) cup and saucers. It doesn't even have the ceramic (non-microwaveable but matching) mugs. But basic white cups and saucers are available anywhere. This has the basic pieces (minus the dessert bowl) that you probably want, plus some tumblers thrown in for good luck. But be careful, because the tumblers are clear, so they are not really Corelle, and they shouldn't be thrown far...
Enjoy.

Dualit 45373 Lite 4-Slice Toaster, Soft Touch White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have had this for six months and it has been great. The bagel feature (putting the bagels in with the cut side facing the center of the toaster, pressing a button, and the cut side comes out toasted while the bagel's outside does not get burnt) works really well.
Its counter space footprint is smaller than the four-in-a-row style four-slice toasters. But the unit is substantial and solid.
It is easy to get the toasting setting right and it accepts weird shapes and sizes well - conversely, it's also easy to get stuff un-stuck when necessary. It cleans up easily both inside and out. The styling, well we think it goes well with our contemporary decor, though friends said it would look good in their colonial.
We can't speak to how long it will last, but so far, it's great.
Update: Ten months with the Dualit Toaster have been, well exactly the same as the first few months. It works extremely well and I am glad we picked this one.
Some other benefits that the extended test period have revealed are in the durability and looks areas. We go from having just two of us to having a houseful, so when we need to pop out great toast, one set of four slices after another, the Dualit takes it all in stride; it does not overheat or loose its setting (some toasters will get confused and pop out under-toasted toast under repeated use - but not this one.)
Additionally, we really liked the texture of the plastic surfaces, they are matt finished - almost soft textured - and not just shiney palstic. I had some concerns about how long that finish would last after being exposed to heat and sunlight. I am happy to report that it has not yellowed, singed, or distorted. It still looks, well exactly the same as the first few months. The chrome is flawless.
Daulit - very nice toaster.
Update: It's still a great toaster after 3 years and 5 months.

Cuisinart Convection Toaster Oven Broiler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this oven for several months now. I missed an opportunity to by it as a factory refurbished unit, and ended up buying it new here. Initially, I wanted to hold out for a convection oven with a larger capacity, but the reality of unit size and lack of availability of a larger oven with similar features convinced me to by this model.
I think I made the right choice. It is large enough to bake and broil a wide variety of things without having to resort to the "big oven", it has accurate, even temp control, and enough features and custom settings that I am still discovering new and better ways to use it.
It is a pretty large oven, does everything advertsed in best of class fashion, it's very easy to clean, and looks "right" no matter how your kitchen is outfitted. Even simple tasks like making toast are handled better than any regular toaster or cheap toaster oven that I have tried. When toasting bread or bagles, the first part of the cycle brings the bread up to teperature without bringing the heat elements up to "toasting" tepmerature. Towards the end of the cycle, the elements glow bright red, and toast both surfaces very evenly, and to taste. The result is perfectly toasted bread, bagles, pizza slices, etc, without cold centers. The cycle can easily be tailored for your favorite bread. Perfect.
Before I forget, someone posted a "review" here that really was a question about what temp the oven is capable of. The oven can also broil, so that would indicate that it can reach high temps, and in fact, it can. The "bake" setting allows you to select a temerature on the display up to 500 degrees. Most any cooking technique that can be done with a quality conventional oven can be done with this gem. And more. When I first started using the oven, I checked it's indicated temp with my electronic thermometer that I use for calibrating industrial sensors. In every case, the indicated air temp was within a few degrees of reality. My full sized oven wasn't anywhere near that close when it was new.
Broiling, baking, defrosting, and reheating leftovers are also given the benefit of digital control over the cooking cycle. Even the crumb tray was designed for effective operation, and ease of cleaning. I have used a number of dedicated convection ovens, and more than a few toaster ovens over the years, but this one is in a class by itself. Even if you grew up with the microwave, this oven won't gather dust on your countertop.
Update... July 12, 2005. This oven is used most every day, and has proved to be a solid performer. As time passed, I have used pretty much all of the functions of the oven, and learned to customize settings to please me along the way. I have not had a single problem with the oven since the day it arrived, and being easy to keep clean, it still looks factory new (when I clean it). It is about as large as I care to have on the countertop, and for bigger jobs, I simply use the main kitchen oven. For most anything else, this is the oven that gets the call. I still rate five stars.

Chicago Metallic Commercial Bake N' Roast Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing feels like a WWII landing craft. It's heavy, not pretty, but it sure gets the job done. This pan could be around long after the end of life as we know it.
Just keep it clean and dry. Don't let it soak in water or you might be sorry. All these products seem to season like cast iron. The more you use them the darker they get and the slicker they feel as the pores of the metal seal. Be sure to use a baking spray or oil and flour to keep the sticking down.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Chicago Metallic Commercial Bake N' Roast Pan

Designed to meet the exacting standards of commercial bakers and gourmet bakers who prefer traditional baking on uncoated pans. The uncoated surface offers good reflectivity for even dispersion of heat -- which means more consistent, even baking and gradual browning. After repeated use, darkening of the metal will actually enhance baking performance.The aluminized steel finish combines the durability, strength, and superior heat conduction of steel with the corrosion-resistance of an aluminum-silicone alloy. Precise, proprietary "folding" technology is the key to the unique construction and strength of the pan; steel is folded over at the ends, which triples the corner thickness and reinforces the rim. A wire rod is curled inside the rim for extra strength and warp-resistance.Size: 9 × 13Dimensions: 13"L × 9"W × 2¼"DMaterials: Heavy-weight aluminized steelCare: Dishwasher safeWarranty: 25 yearsProduct of China

Mr. Christmas Jumbo Sparkling Ornament Gingerbread House Musical Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these (different scene inside) at a local store for an 85yr old relative. Thought it would be nice as they don't go to the trouble to set up a tree and everything.
When I took the Mr. Christmas ornament out I was really impressed - the scene inside lights up very well and the music has a volume control - which many Christmas items do not and they are usually too loud or too soft.
Quality of the music is good but, not for someone who has an excellent ear.
I was so impressed I went out and purchased 3 more of these for gifts this upcoming holiday season. Item uses 3 AAA batteries which seem to last a significant amount of time. I couldn't resist playing with the Ornament as it was so cute. A great gift idea for the Christmas person on your list.
