Rada Cutlery Large Bread Knife, Made in USA, Aluminum Handle (R112) Review

Rada Cutlery Large Bread Knife, Made in USA, Aluminum Handle (R112)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I started buying Rada cutlery at one of the big Home & Garden Shows because I was tired of cheap knives and of peelers that just didn't work.
This bread knife is simply the best for the price. My daughter has a 10" Wusthof classic bread knife that doesn't cut as well as this Rada. I make a number of artisan breads; the Rada knife can handle any type of crust from tough and crisp to those delicate, thin crusts.
The knife is so sharp, there is no danger of crushing your bread by having to put pressure on the knife during the slicing process. The blade is not so thick that it can't be used with some of the slicing guides that are available.
The only drawback, if you are into appearances, is that the handle will discolor if it is not dried after washing or if you allow it to sit in water. Also, these knives should not be put in the dishwasher.
Rada also makes a shorter version of this knife which is ideal for quick breads and smaller loaves. It's a five star item, too.

Engineered with mini-serrations to effortlessly slice your fresh, homemade bread, cut garlic bread and all other types of bread. Blade 9 1/2 inches, overall 14 inches. A smaller version is also available for muffins, banana bread, baguettes and the like. Rada cutlery is made of surgical quality, high carbon stainless steel. Hollow-ground blades ensure a precision concave surface for maximum edge retention and sharpness. The solid cast brushed aluminum handles create a 'feel good in your hand' balance for superior comfort. Hand wash and dry immediately after use to prevent discoloration of the aluminum handle. Like all Rada Cutlery, this item carries a lifetime manufacturer guarantee against defects.

Breville BEW600XL Hot Wok Review

Breville BEW600XL Hot Wok
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It comes in the factory box, so if it is a gift, be aware of this as it might ruin the surprise. The quality and sturdiness of this appliance is evident immediately out of the box.
The instruction book has a bit of a recipe book in the front of it, so you might check that out if you don't normally read instruction books.
It is very straightforward and easy to use. It heats up very quickly, and sears to perfection. The directions say to let it heat for 10 minutes before using but I've not waited that long.
I love the way the plug has an "O" in it so you can hook a finger in to unplug it. I wish all appliances were like that! It's a cord of decent length too, and it's well insulated. The top detaches from the base. I had no problem detaching mine. Reattaching, now that was a bit of a problem until I realized you have to PUSH DOWN on the turning handle and then turn, like a childproof cap- THEN it was easy.
Clean up is great- it is highly nonstick. The only potential problem that I see is that there is a bit of space between the handles and the wok that food could fall or drip and that could be hard to clean if it dried. Of course, the WHOLE thing detaches from the base and it can be put in a dishwasher.
To store you can put a couple of paper towels in it, and place the cord on those, then put the lid on upside down. It is BIG though, so storage could be a problem.
We plan on using ours outside a lot this summer, as it will be perfect on the picnic table on hot days when we don't want to heat the house up cooking. I'll prep early in the day, then cook and serve from the wok itself for evening meals by the pool.

Similar to cooking on a gas stove, the unique 1500 Watt Butterfly Element of the Hot Wok distributes heat evenly up the walls of the wok, maximizing high-heat searing potential. The heat-responsive aluminum layers maintain this high heat to sear food, sealing in moisture. 15 precision heat settings to 425 F emulate authentic Asian-style cooking.

Having purchased previously a wire mesh type from H-Depo, I lost half my food to the flames.
This nifty device keeps a good 95% of my sliced up veggies and garlic intact.
A few notes to the first time users...
Don't be afraid to let your veggies blacken somewhat. Mashmallows get totally crisp before they get their good flavor right?
Cook on a high heat and keep stiring.
Steel may blacken, but it won't hurt future cookings.
Have 2 potholders ready to pick this guy up, the metal gets very hot all around.
I learned those last few the hard way, so maybe I can save you some time.
Happy grilling!

I love shallots. Sadly, you cannot add them to everything while they're still fresh. Some things just don't work well with fresh shallots. But everything works well with dried shallots. I put some in a black pepper grinder to make a delicious spicy treat. I highly recommend this product for all your spicy needs.

I am very disappointed that Gerber has added DHA to their green beans. My son used to Love his Gerber Organic Green Beans. I (unwittingly) tried feeding him the new formulation with added DHA and he kept refusing it. I did notice that the consistency was different than usual - it had more of a gel like texture to it. And then I read the ingredients and saw that it had added Tuna Oil. !? Today I learned that another of his favorites, Gerber Organic Carrots, now has DHA added to it too. I'm so frustrated! Looks like I'll be making our own baby food now.

My baby loves that Earth's Best Carrots. And everything else by them. Their food is of exceptional quality. I know--because before it goes in my baby's mouth, I try it first. I hate peas, but the E.B. First Peas are absolutely sensational. These carrots cannot be beat. I have compared Earth's Best baby food to Gerbers and Gerbers Organic, and there is simply no comarison. The Gerbers food--especially the green vegetables--are simply bland and a bit bitter. I cannot tell you how wonderful (or maybe I'm trying to now!) the E.B. 1st stage baby foods are. So good, in fact, that I've already stocked up on the variety packs of 2nd stage foods (also conveniently available on Amazon.com for a great price plus the free shipping). If you love your baby--and I know you do--and you want him to know just how delicious fruits and vegetables can be, BUY THIS STUFF.

My son doesn't like peas. I've tried feeding him the Gerber Organic peas and he dodges the spoon. So since all of sprouts food is good, I thought - hey, I'm sure Tyler Florence's peas are better than Gerber. Boy was I wrong! It started when I first opened the bag - it smells absolutely horrible and the color is a yucky brownish green. So I warmed it up and sampled it before giving to my son. OMG, I almost had to wipe it off of my tounge. It is really really bad, and that is about the kindest thing I can say about this pea/greenbean/mint mix. I tried to give it to my son and his reaction was as bad as mine. I just coulnd't force feed him somethign I couldn't stomach myself. So far all other Sprout flavors are 5 stars, but leave this one on the shelf - - - it is BAD!

Average Reviews:

In the vegetable category, sweet potato is the favorite of our now 10-month old twins. And it is absolutely loaded with vitamin A. I'm a believer in getting this one in the 4 oz. jars unless the price is superior for the 2.5 oz. jars.
I've asked many parents of babies around the same age as ours which foods their babies like. Each time they've said their babies like sweet potatoes, so I think this is a very good flavor choice.
I've ordered and received many 12-jar packages of various varieties of Earth Best baby food, and find them very satisfactory.
The packaging is quite excellent. Once I had one jar that had been broken, but only one in all this time and with all my orders. I have twins, so I order quite a lot.

Average Reviews:

I usually just don't buy canned/boxed veggie soups. I find most just plain suck. But this one is quite nice. Granted, it's a convenience soup, so it's not gonna shine like homemade, but it's quite convenient, yes, and flavorful and serviceable. Even my veggie-not-so-friendly hubby will eat this and enjoy it. This is great for those soup and sandwich lazy lunches, when I can split the box with hubby.
It's got a nice texture, not too brothy or too thick. It's got a nice mouth feel. Not too acidic, as some veggie soups can be, overusing tomato. This is a great addition to a low-calorie/weight watching diet. The whole box is only 150 cals. There's lentils and brown rice in there, too, so you get some protein. (And it adds to the nice texture).
Low calorie, with fiber and vegan-friendly, pleasant flavor. It's a good deal and in these economically-challenged times, great to take to work (if you keep a bowl there), as the package opens easily with just your hands. :)
Enjoy.

Our baby really loves to eat these and they come in glass, Great! But we discontinued using them after I found a web posting that the manufacturer uses lids that contain BPA! I emailed their customer service department (10/2010) and the company confirmed that BPA is used in the lids. This smacks of the worst kind of marketing, taking advantage of the organic label and the potential health benefits but selling it in inferior packaging, legal yes, but not really in the spirit of the organic movement. For Pete's sake the lid itself has the word "organic" written on it 6 times! We stopped using all the companies products including the dry oatmeal and rice because we personally found it such a dishonest practice (he loved those too unfortunately) so in summary good food, bad implementation.
