Fridge Balls 3-Pack for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables - As Seen On TV Review

Fridge Balls 3-Pack for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables - As Seen On TV
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used these for over 2 years. I throw them in my refrigerator vegetable drawer and just replace them when I see stuff getting old sooner that I'm used to (every 4-6 months). They really do keep stuff fresher longer. My celery can last up to 4 weeks.

Oxo Good Grips Bag Clips, Set of 4 Review

Oxo Good Grips Bag Clips, Set of 4
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

I just love these things! I have had this set for about 4 years and not one has broken. I use them for chips as well as freezer items.
Another feature that I enjoy is not having to dig through a kitchen drawer to find them since they stick to the fridge.
*******
Update 11/07/08
After 4 years I still have three of the 4 clips. Only one has broken and since they stick to the fridge I have not even lost one of the clips. This to me is impressive!

The colorful clips have so much potential! Use them to hang photos, art work or notes on the fridge. Organize bills, coupons and other paperwork. Hold recipe books open and keep chip bags closed.

Cuisipro Compact Herb Keeper Review

I've only used this so far for storing parsley, but boy does it work! I used to throw out so much wimpy parsley it easily covers the cost of this keeper. Well worth the cost.

Keep herbs fresh in your kitchen and readily available with the Cuisipro Herb Keeper storage tool--perfectly sized for holding small grocery store or farm market sized bunches of herbs like rosemary, thyme, oregano and dill. It's also great for storing vegetables like asparagus and celery to help keep them fresh and crisp.

Like fresh flowers, herbs need fresh water, refrigeration and a little space to remain fresh, colorful and crisp. Herbs are stored in a removable tray with slots to hold herb stems, which are kept hydrated by water placed at the bottom of the container. The container's lid also lifts off easily for adding more water. The clear plastic container (BPA-free) measures 3-3/4 inches in diameter and 8-3/4 inches tall, and it conveniently fits in most refrigerator doors. Hand wash only.

CorningWare French White 6-Piece Cooking and Baking Set Review

CorningWare French White 6-Piece Cooking and Baking Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've owned French White for years and years, and they were the first casserole dish I always reached for. We had a mishap, broke my 10+ year old large oval casserole and replaced it with a new full set.
What a disappointment!!! CorningWare has changed something in their process or raw materials. The new dishes have tiny little "pits" in them that allows water to penetrate underneath the glaze. It looks unsightly when serving. The heft and feel aren't the same. Neither is the quality. You can tell the new pieces, as the bottoms have a ridge molded into the base. The older pieces are completely flat.
Using the new large oval dish, my adult daughter removed a full dish on lasagna from the oven and set it on a room temperature (burners turned off)stove top to cool. The dish shattered into pieces, and we had to throw everything out. CorningWare sent a replacement at no charge. The new dish has the same defects as the one that shattered.
I've been shopping at thrift stores and have managed to find older pieces. So disappointing the manufacture has cheapened/changed what was once a fabulous can't-live-without product.

The onion keeper is a good product. It keeps onions fresh without smelling up the fridge; however, the glass used in this keeper is not as heavy as others I have seen. This one is pretty fragile.

Progressive Magnetic Measuring Spoons, Stainless Steel Review

Progressive Magnetic Measuring Spoons, Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My husband and I are getting ready to move, and so are going through all of our stuff to decide what to keep/sell/donate/trash. As foodies, our kitchen is chock full of utensils, including a drawer full of measuring spoons. They were all over the place, each set was incomplete, and they were impossible to organize. Time for a new set and get rid of the rest!
I was looking for stainless steel spoons. Hubby likes the round and I like the oblong style, so this set caught my attention right away. Then I saw the magnetic feature. Pretty cool. I ordered these and they arrived in a timely manner. The magnets are strong enough to keep the spoons together despite shifting around in a drawer, and the spoons themselves are sturdy and feel like they will last for a long time. The best part is how easy they are to put away, organize and keep track of! The old spoons on the rings are ancient history. Thanks, Progressive, for manufacturing a quality product that makes my life just a little easier.

CDN Multi-Mount Oven Thermometer Review

CDN Multi-Mount Oven Thermometer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this based on the Cook's Illustrated review. The first thing I noticed is the hanging hook doesn't fit the heavy racks in our Viking oven. Fortunately the magnet mount works well and I stuck it on the back wall of the oven under the light. The third mounting method is a flip down wire stand. I haven't tried this but it seems like it will be fine for a flat surface like a cookie sheet or pizza stone.
Aside from mounting issues the thermometer seems functional. I'd prefer a bigger more readable model that I can read through the oven window.

This type of container is excellent. For years, I've used the stay fresh bags and while I got some longer life out of the produce, it was not enough. Enter the FridgeSmart from Tupperware. I can fit an entire Broccoli in the medium size, best of all, it makes it easy to snack (already washed and cut). They are easy to clean as well. The best part of the medium size is the guide that is printed on the side. This will help you determine how many vents need to be opened. I found this guide to be very helpful!

Progressive International Herb Keeper Review

Average Reviews:

I use a lot of fresh herbs in my cooking, but they always go bad quickly in the refrigerator -- what a waste. I bought this with the hopes of extending the life of my herbs just a little longer, and I'm not disappointed. My herbs last at least three times longer with no difference in taste nor texture. You do have to change the water regularly though.

Keep your herbs fresh and tasty with this Fresh Herb Keeper from Progressive International, which can keep bunches of herbs fresh for up to three weeks in the refrigerator. You can even store multiple herbs at once without worrying about crossing flavoring. The herb keeper's durable plastic narrow tube is great for storing taller herbs on the stem, from thyme and oregano to basil and rosemary. It fits in the door of most refrigerators for quick access when you need to add just a bit more flavor to a roast or soup. It measures approximately 4 inches in diameter by 10-3/4 inches. Dishwasher safe.

Cuisipro Herb Keeper Review

Cuisipro Herb Keeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
At long last I've found a way to sustain my Cilantro habit. Every single time I go to the store, I buy at least one bunch of organic cilantro as I put it in everything. But more often than not, part of it turns black before I get to it and wrecks the whole bunch. At $1.50 per bunch, it adds up. Growing it myself did not work at all, so I've been on the look-out for a solution. And guess what? I found it. Cuisipro's Herb Keeper really works and I've yet to throw away yucky black cilantro, or any other herb, since I've started using it.
I was skeptical about this at first, mainly because it's plastic and I have a thing against plastic, plus I suspected it contained BPA since it's a hard clear plastic. However, a rep at Cuisipro assured me that it is SAN plastic and does not contain BPA. I do wish it were glass, but that is my only complaint.
I've tried all sorts of ways to prolong the life of fresh herbs, and this is the most effective I've found yet. It's clean and easy to manage. You just wash your herbs really well, pull out any browning or black stems or leaves, and place the stems in the container on the stick. You fill the bottom a with about two inches of water (I change mine at least every other day) and lower the stick down into the water. And voila! Just snip off what you need, when you need it.

Norpro Stoneware Butter Keeper Review

Norpro Stoneware Butter Keeper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Never having used one before, I was pleased to see how well the butter keeper works. It's such a practical gadget based on a simple principle.
Unfortunately, after about six months the Norpro revealed a problem that makes me think it should be replaced. The glazing developed many (almost invisible) hairline cracks under the butter, and oil from the butter was then absorbed by the clay container. After washing and drying, the container now slowly oozes rancid oil through the glaze. It continues oozing for many days, even after repeated washing.
I have come to love having softened butter on hand, and I will definitely buy another butter keeper, but I'll try a different brand. Perhaps this is one instance of getting what you pay for.

Chicago Cutlery 1063947 Magnetic Knife Storage Strip Review

Chicago Cutlery 1063947 Magnetic Knife Storage Strip
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Do not purchase a more expensive knife strip.......this one is a fantastic value. The only problem I have with this product, and I do wish I could give 1/2 stars, because I would give it 4.5 stars, is that there are no installation instructions included, but it is fairly simple to install: (it comes with 2 screws which act as tabs, and there are black platic slots on the back, which slide out. Simply mark where the screws will line up and screw them into place, take out one of the tabs, slide one side of the strip onto one of the screws, then slide the tab you took out back into the strip and over the screw "tab". Done.) Still, installation instructions should should have been included. This product holds a 8 inch chef's knife, a 6.5 inch santoku, 2 9 inch slicers, a 9.5 inch bread knife, and about 3 paring knives (about 2.5 inches each) and a serrated tomato slicer (about 4 inches or so). The magnet is very strong and effectively holds the knives in place. This is a much safer method for keeping knives (do NOT store knives in a drawer) and will help to keep them sharper longer. Plus, this is more sanitary than a knife block in my opinion.
So, don't spend more on another knife strip. Get this one, you will not regret it.

Pyrex 6021224 Storage 10-Piece Set, Clear with Blue Lids Review

Pyrex 6021224 Storage 10-Piece Set, Clear with Blue Lids
Average Reviews:

This has to be one of the best deals around, even at twice the price, because it replaces so many other things, and is so durable.
The containers work nicely for food storage, but they also can be used for cooking. They go from freezer to oven or microwave, and are dishwasher safe as well. Pyrex is practically unbreakable. With normal use, this set could easily last a lifetime. At the current price, they actually cost less than plastic containers, which do not have either the durability or versatility.
If all that's not enough, consider the health benefits. Glass will not leech plasticiser into your food, and there's no dioxin to worry about when microwaving.
I don't usually rave about kitchen items, but after I recieved this set, I rushed back to order another. I'm getting rid of most of the plastics in my cabinets today!
