I like short cuts. Why do something that takes longer than necessary? In my eyes, this applies to driving, cleaning, writing (I abbreviate everything) and cooking. That’s why I love Gourmet Blending. It’s such high quality and tastes like I spent a long time in the kitchen. They have mixes for everything that are so quick and easy. There are soup mixes, dip mixes, drink mixes, no bake cookie mixes, no bake cheesecake mixes, beer bread mixes and more. With so much variety, I can make them frequently without my family getting bored of the same meals and they always save me so much time. This gives me more time to spend with my family. It’s my favorite thing to do and it’s the one thing I do not abbreviate or take short cuts in. Why make the menial tasks in life take longer than necessary and rob time away from my precious family?TGFGB!

Quite frankly, I really do not need a spice grinder for now. This does not mean, of course, that I do not do some cooking at home. I do cook and I love to use spices especially in cooking my favourite fresh fish fillet salad. Honestly, never in my six decades of life on this earth that I ever used a spice grinder. Why I say this is because we do not have a spice grinder at our home in the farm where I spent most of my early years. Now that I learned about the functionalities and usefulness of a spice grinder, I guess one day when I can afford to buy one, I will go and find the best brand with a multi-functional system. In the meantime, I am contented with our indigenous way of preparing the spices for our cooking at home. Not only is our indigenous way economical, it does not need maintenance and it has the personal touch feature that a mechanical device does not have.

The santoku is the most legendary of all of the Japanese Kitchen Knives. In recent years it has earned the reputation of being the most versatile knife on the planet, and is well suited for chopping, slicing, dicing, mincing, and other applications. The word “Santoku” means Three Virtues in Japanese. The venerable Santoku is popularly used by professionals and amateur chefs alike all over the world.

The Santoku is a knife of Asian origin, namely Japanese. The is such a versatile knife and ranges in size from 5-7 inches long, with a unique blade shape that is referred to as a sheep’s foot. The Western knife most similar to the Santoku is the Chef’s Knife. Care should be taken when using the Santoku however, as the blade is too thin to chop bones and the like. If chopping through bone is something you will do regularly, or even at all, you may consider purchasing a Deba, or Japanese Cleaver.

There’s nothing worse than getting ready for work or school and finding you can’t brew the coffee in your trusty Braun KF600 coffee maker. The most common cause of this is probably forgetting to get the coffee at the grocery store, but it is also can happen if you break the carafe. This can be prevented by buying a Braun KF600 replacement carafe. If you buy an extra in advance, then you are ready if the original breaks – not a difficult thing to do when you’re rushing around in the morning getting ready for work.

A replacement carafe is also great if you are going to have people over. If you need a lot of coffee you can brew one pot while pouring the other – by cycling through the different pots you can always have one brewing and no one will be left without coffee or have to wait until a pot is done to have their brew.

Since I have been a freelance writer I have had some very interesting jobs come across my desk, that is certain. I have written about make-up, headphones, food processor reviews, and dog breeds. Amongst many other things. I have to say though that one thing I loved writing about were life saving techniques. Alternatives to mouth to mouth resuscitation. I did not know there were even alternatives to mouth to mouth, but there are.

I learn alot by writing. I had no idea that there were so many different types of food processors or that they can do so many things. I have gotten ideas for Christmas gifts, new recipes to try and as well as software to use on my computer. I have found some really neat websites that I still use today and I have learned alot. Some people say it is useless information, but it all serves a purpose to me.

I’d like to use this icee machine for my extended family, but I don’t want more embarrassment. I have been wanting to make bacon ice cream since I have had it at a dessert tasting, and today I can. Also, since this is homemade ice cream, it does not have additional ingredients that industrial ice cream contains which allows it to remain “softer.” The bowl must be frozen for a day before you want to make the ice cream therefore it helps if you have a sizable freezer that you can just keep the bowl in so it is ready without notice to use it. I did not run it long enough the very first time and it was not the perfect consistency. Since you need to pour this mixture into the bowl as the paddle is running and since the thick walls of the freezer bowl make it hard to access. I suggest resting the pouring protect around the edge of the bowl, it does not fit totally, but it is good enough to reduce spillage.

I am looking for a KitchenAid KSB560MC 5 Speed Blender on saleand I think I found the perfect place to buy it. It’s this website called Minifer.

This website reviews all kinds of small kitchen appliances including blenders and they just happen to have the exact model I’m looking for. I read all about it and see that this particular model features an ice crushing feature, which I really love.

I love this model because it also features a handle with a cushion so my hand doesn’t have to grasp around slippery plastic. This comes in handy when I’m making smoothies for the kids. The Kitchen Aid 5 speed blender also comes in a ton of colors! I’m leaning towards the orange one because it matches the theme of my kitchen so well.

I found that they showed me not only the good things about the unit – but they showed me what was flawed too – which wasn’t too much. I’m so happy to have found a great review site!

I got myself one and loved it. I have no grievances about this item, many thanks to the yogurt supplier who sold it to me. The ice cream hogs in my family adore ice cream so much and eat it too fast for this to be a great solution for us, therefore it is back to the 6 quart bowl. Our granddaughter watched with fascination as the ice cream “grew” within the maker. I did lots of research before I actually bought it and was fairly clear on several factors – the ice cream mixture needs to be well-refrigerated, at least 2-8 hours. I really, wanted an ice cream maker. I didn’t have any problem following the instructions to assemble the two parts to my mixer (it couldn’t have been simplier) and it has not come apart once while making ice cream. They recommend leaving your bowl in the freezer so it will be prepared when you want to make frozen treats, and that’s what I have been doing.

We all have gadgets in our kitchen to help us out, whether that is a toaster which we use all the time through to a waffle iron which is nothing more than an expensive dust collector, then we have an impressive array of them in our homes. The question is, do you really use them? I think we have all purchased gadgets in the spur of the moment when they are on offer etc, and we have then regretted that decision a few weeks later when we realize they are nowhere near as easy to use as the marketer make them out to be!

I mean a gadget like an indoor electric fryer is probably only going to get used at large family gatherings, but at least it will get used every so often. Then you have more obscure gadgets like ice cream makers which quite frankly are lucky to get used more than once!

I had always wanted to make my own breads. It was one of the items I had in my list of things to do before I die. Now, please don’t laugh at me. It may be easy for you but it wasn’t for me for I did not know where to start. I had bought some cookbook but somehow my breads did not turn out the way it was in the pictures. I then bought a Zojirushi bread machine hoping it would help with my bread making process. And help it did. My breads were beginning to look more presentable and smell much delicious.Then came along the internet, which was like a huge cookbook. All I needed to do was to make a search and I was spoilt for choice. I was so excited. There were so many recipes and even videos showing step by step on how to make bread. It could not be any better. And since then, I had always had freshly baked bread at my home.
