Waterford Colleen Accent Salad Plate

Waterford Accent Plate
I'm buying the accent plate to use instead of the regular plate that comes with the 5 piece set. The price is great and also I couldn't even FIND it anywhere else. Thanks

Hog Wild Idea Kitchen - Hand Crank Milkshake Mixer

More like a fun appliance
I wouldn't so much call this a toy as a fun appliance. I use mine quite a bit at home and when I'm out. I haven't tried crushing ice with it, so I can't advise there. I not only use it for mixing drinks (shakes, etc.)It's useful for beating eggs, whipping cream, just about any thing you use a blender for. It's got a real impressive 23:1 gear ratio (blades go around 23 times for each turn of the crank). Best of all: No cord and no batteries!

Bayou Classic 1118 32-Quart Stainless Steel Turkey Fryer

My only regret is not getting this one first
If you're thinking of buying aluminum because it's cheaper, think again. This stainless steel pot will last longer, be MUCH easier to clean and will not retain seafood odor, nor will aluminum leach into your food.

The included basket fits like a glove (unlike my King Kooker aluminum pot, which sold the basket separately), and can also function as a steamer. The rack fits right into the basket for easy storage. I only regret that I bought the other pot first because it was cheaper, but certainly not a better value!

Perfect for turkey, prime rib, or sea food!
This stainless steel cookpot is sturdy, well constructed, and easy to clean. It also comes with a boil basked and a turkey rack. The boil basked could not be better constructed. It fits right inside the cookpot and rests on an internal rim so the base is not sitting on the bottom of the fryer. This allows more even boiling, but you have to remember that you're going to lose the top few inches of space in the basked so be careful not to over fill. I purchased this item in concert with the Bayou Classic SP10 High-Pressure Outdoor Gas Cooker and it couldn't be a better match. Since this is a 32 quart cook pot it won't fit on most cookers that are specifically designed for 30qt pots, so a cooker with a flat burner area is essential.

We broke the cookpot in with a crab boil. Fill the pot with water to the max fill line. Add a couple of packages of Zatarain's Crab Boil, about 3 tablespoons of Old Bay Seasoning, and a couple of onions peeled and halved. Load your basked...

Very Nice Pot!!
This is a great pot. It comes with a thermometer, triangle hook, the mount for the turkey and a tall basket for frying seafood, etc. I like it because it's sturdy stainless steel and cooked my turkey very well and evenly. No problems at all.

The book says to cook no more than 18 lbs but my turkey was 20 lbs and just the right size. I wouldn't go over 20 lbs. There is also a pre-marked line on the pot that lets you know how much oil you're supposed to pour in. It's very handy and was exactly the amount needed for my 20 lb turkey, even though I did do my own measuring just to make sure.

I used the pot the day before cooking to brine my turkey and it came out flavored beautiful and was very tasty. I covered the turkey with water, added 2 cups of sea salt, a few bay leaves, rosemary sprigs, fresh lemon thyme, whole peppercorns and a half cup of apple cider vinegar. I let it marinade for 4 hours. Just make sure that the turkey is thoroughly dried with paper towels...

Shun 22-Slot Bamboo Knife Storage Block

The bamboo is beautiful!


Better than Henckels Twin 22 slot
I couldn't decide if this block or the Henckels 22 slot would hold my 2 long 11" Victorinox bread knives, 2 Wusthoff Santokus, and 2 small Chicago Cutlery Santokus plus a couple other knives. I ordered them both and compared them side by side. The back corner of the Henckels is "blocked" so it sits 1" closer to the back wall on the counter than this block. However, I found the Shun bamboo wood block more aesthetically appealing and a nicer finish than the Henckels block. Also, the BIG difference is in the width of the knife slots. This block consistently for just about all slots was wider by 1/8" to 1/4" than the Henckels. For me, this small increase in width made the difference in getting all my knives in the block or not. If you have serious knives, then most of them are probably wide, and need this block. If your knives are narrow then the Henckels block would work fine. Both blocks were identical heighth. The steak knives are stored in a horizontal orientation in the...

Nice block but slots too narrow
I recently bought a Kramer knife that is 2 3/8" wide at the handle. I was hoping, partly based on the reviews, that this block would accommodate it -- in addition to my cleaver. No such luck -- the slots other than the cleaver slot are only about 2 1/8" wide. If your knives fit in this dimension, it's a very nice block, but I wish the descriptions would give the slot widths.

Peugeot PM20583 Fidji 8-1/4-Inch Salt Mill, Red Lacquer

Peugeot Salt
Besides being very beautiful to bring the table this Peugeot Salt Mill is very practical and easy to use. I recommend. Excellent seller and product.

Works well, looks good
The mill works very well, and it looks good too. The main reason why I bought this item was because regular mills always need replacement, so if this one lasts, it will be all I hoped for.

salton Hot Spot set: Coffee & Hot Beverage Warmer

Coffee Stays the Perfect Temp
I work in an office and rely on a warmer to keep my coffee warm enough to avoid reheating or dumping it out. Whenever I finally get back to my desk I know my coffee will be waiting and will be the perfect temp. I have tried numerous brands that do not get hot enough but the Salton brand does the trick and has been the best thus far. I bought extra for our office employees as well. I have been using mine for 8 years now and it still works great! I would not hesitate to buy this brand again.

Alton's Angles by Shun Angled 5 1/2 Inch Santoku Knife

KNIFE NOT AS SHOWN
The knife I received is not the knife shown on Amazon.
It is a very nice Shun knife, but it is not an Alton's Angles
knife. The knife shown on Amazon had Alton Brown's logo on it, this one does not. I bought this gift as a birthday present for my husband who is a huge fan of Alton Brown's. I was told by customer service the Alton's Angles knife is not available anymore. If so, Amazon should not show his image on it.

Love this Knife But..............................
First off...take the stock picture of this knife off the web
my wife is a huge fan of alton brown even has his shun logo tattooed on her four arm
i bought this knife thinking it had alton browns signature on it.
i just got it today beautiful knife but, no alton brown im very unhappy about that.
someone needs to do something about this....

If I could give 10 stars...
These Shun knives are not only gorgeous, they cut beautifully. I like the Alton's Angles slant. Shun also makes left-handers' versions of some models.
