Suncourt HC300 Register Air Booster Air Booster Review

Suncourt HC300 Register Air Booster Air Booster
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Yep, I gotta agree with the other reviewers that this is a waste of money. Great concept, poorly executed. It does turn on and off automatically, but that's it's only good point.
I have an upstairs bedroom that gets about 5-6 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. Warmer even than the adjacent bedroom. Put one of these over the vent, checked the temperature all day, and there was no difference. I think most computer fans are probably quieter and blow more air. All this seems to do is churn the air around a bit.
While I'm not a mechanical engineer, I think this product could have been designed better, without adding cost, and actually might have worked.
Save your money. If you have a vent that's not vlowing much air, try removing the grill. The grill restricts the airflow and removing it might be enough to help.

Fagor 670040240 110-Volt Portable Induction Cooktop Review

Fagor 670040240 110-Volt Portable Induction Cooktop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was my first experience with induction cooking, and, like everyone else says, it's fantastic. Keeps the kitchen cool, heats things faster, offers precise control, environmental, easy to clean - all good stuff.
But I'm going to try a different brand next time I buy an induction cooktop. Here's why:
1) There are only six heat settings. I've found that to simmer many items, I need a setting in between 2 and 3. So I have to stand over it and manually switch between the two.
2) It appears to cycle on and off (at least on setting 3). A pot of stuff will bubble for a while, then stop, then bubble for a while, etc. I don't know if this is normal for an induction cooktop, but obviously it isn't very smooth.
3) The controls are indeed difficult to get used to, though it can be done. You need to give them a rather sharp tap, instead of just pressing them. There's also a delay, so if you want to turn the heat down from 6 to 1, you have to tap at certain intervals.
4) It seems to produce a hot spot in the center of the pan. That part will bubble when the edges stay cooler. I don't know if this is normal with induction cooking. I use All-Clad pans.
All told, these negatives don't outweigh the positive experience of using an induction cooktop. But I'll try another brand next time. And there will be a next time, because compared to my lousy electric stove, induction cooking is wonderful!

Crock-Pot SCR151-WG 1.5-Quart Round-Shaped Manual Slow Cooker, White Review

Crock-Pot SCR151-WG 1.5-Quart Round-Shaped Manual Slow Cooker, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a lovely little crockpot whose small size makes it uniquely useful for a number of purposes. I've owned larger crockpots for a couple decades (currently a 6 quart Rival Smartcooker is my mainstay for preparing family-size meals), but the larger pots take up a significant amount of counter space & aren't at all useful for heating or re-heating small quantities. This little crockpot, however, is perfect for heating or re-heating 2-4 servings of soup or stew. I originally bought it, however, because it is *absolutely perfect* for making hot cereal on cold mornings, especially those hot cereals that require more than a few minutes of cooking in the microwave or on the stovetop, such as steel-cut oatmeal (try the nutty goodness of traditional steel-cut oatmeal once (also available here at Amazon) & you're unlikely ever to return to instant or "quick cook" oatmeal again). There is nothing nicer on a cold winter morning than walking into the kitchen & knowing that a healthy, delicious hot breakfast is awaiting you. From mid-October to late-March, virtually every night I prepare my entire family's hot breakfast cereal for the next morning in this little crockpot, with no more effort than is required to make single serving of instant oatmeal or cream of wheat in the microwave.
Other uses we've discovered: it's perfect for making & serving hot mulled cider; keeping hot dips, gravies & warm sauces & syrups heated on the buffet; as a substitute fondue pot; & for heating soup at times when hovering over a stovetop or near a microwave would be incovenient (how nice to come inside from raking leaves or shoveling snow to a hot bowl of soup!). For single people or couples who prefer not to cook in large quantities or apartment dwellers with limited storage space, this crockpot would be a very acceptable slow cooker, especially if used in conjunction with Rival's inexpensive SP100-PDQ Smart-Part Module (also sold on Amazon as of the date of this review), which provides the same timed-cooking controls that are integrated with many of Rival's larger, more expensive crockpots.
The energy used is minimal, too -- only 80 watts -- & the stoneware bowl fits easily in the dishwasher, as does the lid, for very convenient clean-up.

The perfect size for making party dip, this round-shaped slow cooker features a 1-1/2-quart removable stoneware pot.

The stoneware pot with its Rinse-Clean coating, along with the glass lid, cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. A bonus recipe book with 25 great-tasting recipes comes included. The slow cooker measures approximately 9-1/5 by 9-1/2 by 7-4/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

While I have found no problems with the microwave portion of this oven, the convection portion is an entirely different matter safety wise. The outside of the cabinet gets HOT. I mean REALLY HOT. I called GE and the CSR tried to assure me that the oven was operating within "reasonable" safety limits. When I pressured her to elaborate on GE's definition of what "reasonable" is, she stated that the outsides of the oven could reach temperatures ranging between 150 and 212 degrees! Thats the boiling point of water!

Calphalon One Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill Pan Review

Calphalon One Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this to supplement my Calphalon Professional square grill. I use this one when preparing barbecue with high sugar marinades and sauces.
First of all, unlike a lot of nonstick pans, you can get this grill very hot. This produces authentic looking grill marks and that sought after smoky taste. However, even the stickiest, most burned on remnants come off with a soak and a wipe.
I also use this pan to grill more delicate, crumbly meats like hamburgers, crab cakes, and fillets of fish. These may still crumble, but at least it won't be the pans fault. For plain grilling of steaks and chops, I still prefer hot, bare metal to nonstick.
The best thing about this pan, though, is the price. 50 bucks is very reasonable for a professional piece of cookware. It's also important to note that Calphalon nonstick grills are top rated by Cook's Illustrated magazine.

If you are disappointed with hot dogs that only look good on one side, buy a hot dog grill roller. It is much easier to grill them nicely and evenly browned. Especially handy when grilling hamburgs or steaks at the same time. I purchased another brand at the same time as I needed two and both worked great.

Getting an even sear on hotdogs and bratwursts over the open flame can be tricky--especially when you need to cook several at a time to keep up with a bunch of hungry mouths. This hotdog griller holds several franks at once for easy grilling. Stainless steel construction means easy cleaning and optimal durability for years of easy grilling. A detachable rosewood handle conducts heat slowly and won't burn fingers before the grilling is through. And, an ergonomic handle design ensures optimal comfort and control. A hook on the end of the handle lets you hang the griller on or near the grill for quick access. The griller measures 13-1/2 by 18-1/2 inches (width by length).

Outdoor Leisure 38208G Smoke Hollow Propane-Gas Smoker Review

Outdoor Leisure 38208G Smoke Hollow Propane-Gas Smoker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been considering buying a propane smoker for a long while, and after much comparison shopping I chose this one.
Background:
Outdoor Leisure makes several smokers, of which this is the top of the line. These are the main differences between them, sorted by Amazon price:
30169G - 30" high, 16" wide, 14" deep. Cast Iron burner. Two cooking grids. Outdoor Leisure 30169G Smoke Hollow Propane-Gas Smoker
34168G - 34" high, 16" wide, 14" deep. Cast Brass burner. Three cooking grids. Outdoor Leisure 34168G Smoke Hollow Propane-Gas Smoker
30160G - 30" high, 16" wide, 14" deep. Stainless steel burner. Three cooking grids. Outdoor Leisure 30160G Smoke Hollow 30-Inch Propane Smoker
38208G - 38" high, 20" wide, 14" deep. Cast Brass burner. Four cooking grids. (This is the one I bought) Outdoor Leisure 38208G Smoke Hollow Propane-Gas Smoker
Details:
Construction-wise, there are all similar: they have a large welded box, four legs, a burner assembly, regulator assembly, wood box, water container, and several chrome plated cooking grids. I was able to assemble mine in about 30 minutes. It is bulky, but not too heavy all considered; I am able to move it myself (two people are better). The only construction defect I found was that the burner assembly was a bit bent in places, but it worked fine. The various models have slightly different details in the handle type & etc.
Note that the size is WITHOUT the 8 inch leg height. It is the height of the smoker box.
Pro:
- Straightforward assembly. Follow the directions carefully. Tools needed are a screwdriver and pliers.
- It lights easily and the propane tank connector is a quick-connect style, very easy to use.
- Does a GREAT job of smoking. The instructions said that I would run out of water after 4 hours, but I smoked for almost four and still had lots of water and wood left.
- The cooking grids are very stoutly constructed, and clean easily. The wall shelf attachments can be adjusted so that the shelf heights are completely changeable.
- The wood box is large, with a nice cover. Both this box and the water container are porcelain coated steel and cleaned up fairly easily.
Con:
- Okay, this is a big one. I almost gave this product four stars instead of five. The regulator on this unit burned too hot. Even on the lowest setting, the interior temperature was 350 degrees!. From reviews I have seen on the net, this is a common problem with the Smoke Hollow line, and the company will send a replacement regulator when asked. I have asked, and will update the review accordingly.
WORKAROUND: Despite this problem, I was able to cook at 220 or even lower. The trick is to set the regulator on HIGH, then push it in as if you were going to turn it off - but only turn it part way off. In this way one can set the temperature to whatever is desired. I smoked between 220 and 240.
- The temperature gauge was not very accurate. I would recommend that you get an oven thermometer and set it inside. I found the interior temperature to be about 40 degrees less than the outside gauge indicated. I list this as a "Con", but it is typical of most smokers.
Cooking:
- If you are new to smoking, I suggest that you do a search and look up the subject. There are many techniques that can be used, and the type of wood you smoke with will have a lot to do with the final taste. I mesquite smoked two chickens and a pork loin, and all were delicious, moist, tender, and had a great smoke flavor.
- I was pleasantly surprised that there was not a lot of smoke coming out of the box when cooking. The smoke stayed pretty much inside.
Summary:
Despite the issue with the gas regulator, I recommend this product. It does a good job and is well designed.
***UPDATE****
I exchanged a series of emails with the company over the regulator. At first they suggest I try the "work around" I listed above. I replied that this actually is not a good long term solution; pushing in the temperature gauge to shut off is a safety feature. After that exchange, the company is sending me a replacement regulator, but it is on back order until June. I will update when it arrives.
****Update June 2010****
I finally received the replacement regulator. It took about 15 minutes to install. Now the unit works fine - minimum is about 175 degrees and maximum is about 300 degrees. If your smoker won't provide cooler cooking, be sure and contact the company for a replacement regulator!

Great for smoking pork, beef, fish, poultry and more--all in the great outdoors--this gas smoker seals in smoke from any favorite hardwood chips for moist, tender meats, every time. Built as tight and stout as a brick smokehouse, the Smoke Hollow outdoor gas smoker brings out all of the mouthwatering flavors in pork tenderloin, beef brisket, and more. Fish aficionados have plenty of room for halibut steaks or strips of sockeye thanks to the smoker's four adjustable-height cooking grids that ensure plenty of elbow room between pieces so that heat flows steadily upward for even cooking top to bottom. Not only do the cooking grids offer plenty of space for chicken breasts and thighs, spare ribs, baby backs, and prime rib for the whole family, they're also chrome-plated for easy cleaning after the party is through. In addition, the smoker's porcelain-coated steel wood-chip box resists scorching and corrosion even under extreme heat from Pecan, Hickory, White Oak, Apple, Alder and Mesquite woodchips, while its porcelain-coated steel water pan defies corrosion through years of use and ensures easy cleaning. Other highlights include a simple push-button ignition system, a cast-brass burner, a handy temperature gauge, and a stay-cool door handle. The propane-gas smoker measures 21 by 15 by 39 inches.

The plates work fine. My only beef if their size. If you grill up a 12 oz steak, that is the only thing that will fit on the plate. If I could do it over again, I would have bought bigger ones. Oh well. The wooden base works well with the plate. One other thing, and it is probably obvious. If you eat your steak from this plate, the knife will scratch the black off the plate fairly quickly.

Bradley Digital 6-Rack Smoker Review

Bradley Digital 6-Rack Smoker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just received this machine. I owned an original Bradley Smoker that gave up the ghost. When I saw the digital one for sale I thought that it would be more precise and a "set and forget" solution to smoking. I have tried it four times now and have discovered that the temperature variation on the unit is as much as 28 degrees over the set point and as much as 16 below the set point for a temp swing of 44 degrees. It turns out that Bradley has a forum for owners and those interested (look at their web site). Quite a number of new owners have been dismayed and disappointed in the temp swing on this unit. When I called Bradley they just said "that's the way it is with this unit" and told me it is similar to my house oven. I doubt that my home ever varies that much. The cycle time for this variation is 15-20 minutes so the food is never at the set point for very long. I don't recall swings like this with my old one.
If you look carefully at what you get for the hefty premium, it is not much. The basic unit has the automatic biscuit feed and when its out of biscuits there is no more smoke so the smoke timer on the new one means nothing. The timer on the cooking side has a time limit according to the Bradley owners so you can't leave it more than ten hours without going out and resetting it. The temperature control is not reliable so what do you get for the extra bucks. Not much to my way of thinking.
By the way, look at the photo carefully. This unit is not aluminum. It has a door that is painted an aluminum color and the body is black. I have to say that the fit and finish is very nice on the unit.
My advice is buy the original model and save yourself the extra bucks.

Maverick CT-03 Digital Oil & Candy Thermomter Review

Maverick CT-03 Digital Oil and Candy Thermomter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This seems to be a well made product, and if not for one tremendous flaw I could somewhat recommend it.

The manufacturer got a the hardware design and functionally right. The temperature readings are very accurate. The view-screen tilts for easy reading, even on pots with sloping sides. And having the 14 most common candy and oil temperatures stored in the unit for easy selection is a nice addition, unfortunately it's also the Maverick's Achilles heel.
Because if you ever want to cook something at a temperature 'other' than those 14 presets, you may as well use a cheap analog thermometer. Unlike any other digital thermometer I've ever used, the Maverick does not permit setting of custom temperature alarms. You'll either use their 14 alarm presets or nothing at all.
Certainly the unit will display whatever temperature it is currently reading, but so can any $3 analog candy thermometer. In my mind, the primary purpose of a digital thermometer is to alert a cook when a specific temperature is reached. Not allowing the cook to set alarms at their chosen temperatures is a ridiculous and fatal defect.

The unit does have some issues even aside from that major flaw. The 14 available temperatures are selected from an LCD display, unfortunately the text on the display is very tiny it's awfully difficult to read. I have good eyesight, those suffering even moderate nearsightedness will be unable to read this display unassisted. This tiny-text problem seems also to a consequence of those 14 presets. If this thermometer worked like most other digital thermometers, the display would be more than big enough show 3 digit temperatures in huge lettering. But those 14 presets have too much text to be displayed at anything other than a tiny size on the unit's screen.
This product also misses the mark in catering to the needs of cooks. In candy making, knowing when candy has dropped to a certain temperature is just as important as knowing the highest temperature reached. This unit has no function for setting alarms at cooling temperatures.
This product shares it's reason for failure with many other failed electronic products. It has good hardware but very poorly designed software (firmware). The fixes should be simple by software standards. The designers need to ditch 14 presets, allow setting of alarms for any user-defined high and low temperature, and increase the text size. Those few changes would turn this lemon into an amazing kitchen tool. But if it remains as it is, it will be just another piece of kitchen junk to clutter your drawer.

Fissler CookStar Induction Pro Portable Cooktop Review

Fissler CookStar Induction Pro Portable Cooktop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using my Fissler Cooktop for about a year now. Clean-up is easy - it took me a while to master the settings to avoid boil-overs. It's all good now.
Let me back-up a moment and describe this unit. This is a self contained counter top cooking device. It plugs into a standard wall outlet and requires the type of cookware that a magnet would stick to the base. This requirement rules out copper and aluminum bottoms. I believe iron may be used, but I am not totally sure.
The device uses inductive power to induce heat into the pan, not by a traditional heating element. Part of the advantage of this is when the unit is shut off after use it has no heat of it's own. When the cook surface warms up, it is from heat induced in the pan sitting on top. This unit will not operate or create any heat without a steel bottom pan sitting on top. This is a nice feature if you live in a hot climate (like me in Phoenix). The range in my apartment (Whirlpool) has a black glass top with with what looks like rings of red LED's below the glass to heat pans. This large range takes forever to boil water and stays hot for almost an hour after shut off. Compare to the Fissler unit that boils water fast and does not retain any heat when shut off. With this Fissler cooktop I can make spaghetti in less time than my whirlpool range can even begin to show visual signs of warming in the same pan of water.
The controls are all touch spots on the top near the front. To operate you need to enter an intensity number (1-9) and a countdown duration in hrs:mins. Touching the spots to enter the settings is slow, the unit cannot accept rapid touching, a measured pace must be used - perhaps one touch per second. I believe the unit starts to operate before all the settings are entered, which is a nice feature. There is also a quiet internal fan that starts once the power button is touched. You can change the intensity setting while running. If you wanted to enter a large cooking time number you press and hold down the up button and the numbers rapidly scroll upwards. There are other button features not covered in this review. I suspect it may be a bit fragile, as it came packed in a box in a box in a box. I doubt it would survive a quick trip from counter to floor. It appears to be designed so boil-overs will not penetrate the unit and destroy the electronics. It is not dishwasher safe, cleans up with almost anything.
This cooktop is larger than it appears in photos. Three inches tall, 14 inches front to back and 11 inches wide.
Pros: fast, economical, good looking, no residual heat when shut off, count down timer, easy to clean, short burst booster mode.
Cons: slow button input, easy to boil over, don't leave anything sensitive to magnetic fields nearby (credit cards, cellphone, TV, prosthetic arm or hand, etc), pan must stay on the unit when cooking or it shuts off.
Would I buy it again? Yes! There's two reason for not giving it five stars; too expensive, and button entry is slow and frustrating at times.
UPDATE: been using this for a while longer now. Boil-overs are rare for me now and I am still amazed at how fast it is compared to my whirlpool range, which hasn't been used since this arrived. With this unit I can have a bowl of spaghetti cooked and on the table before my range would even have tiny bubbles show, using the same sauce pan and same amount of water.

If you are still using plastic wrap, wax paper, or paper towels to cover your cooking / reheating items, then you are truly doing things the hard way!
If you are not covering your microwave cooking / reheating at all, then you just LOVE CLEANING NASTY MESSES!
I was so impressed, I bought one for each of my sisters-in-law, my parents, and my single brother. They are still talking about the greatest, and most useful Christmas present 6 months later!
I highly recommend this. It saves the cleaning time... It saves you from finger burns when pulling your other covers off the cooking...

Casa Moda "S'mores" Maker Review

Casa Moda S'mores Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is awesome! I got the S'mores Maker as a Christmas gift and have completely used up all 3 cans of chafing fuel that I got with the gift. I'm addicted!
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to be able to eat S'mores at any time of the year! I used to make S'mores in the microwave, but the marshmallows always got chewy. This is the perfect solution.

It has a very cute set-up and although I don't really use the little containers for my marshmallows and graham crackers (except when taking fun photos), I do keep my wrapped chocolate bars in there all the time.
At first it took forever to roast my marshmallows until I read the directions (which I should have done in the first place) and saw that there's this neat feature that lets you adjust the flame height. The bigger the flame, the faster your marshmallow roasts. If the flame is too high, your marshmallow is quicker to burn.
As for someone's comment about Sterno not recommending that you cook open food over their flame... that's because certain foods can drip into the flame and cause dangerous flare-ups if you aren't careful. They specifically say that the emissions of the chafing fuel will not cause harm. :)
If you're having trouble finding the chafing fuel, check out the list of places in the FAQ on sterno.com. I'm pretty sure Amazon sells some, too!
Happy roasting!
