Cuisinart Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker
The Cuisinart soft service ice cream maker is a purchase I made about a year or two ago. I wanted to learn how to make my own ice cream from scratch, and because I own other Cuisinart appliances I knew I was making a good buying decision.
When the Cuisinart soft …
Oxo SteeL Can Opener

Aqua Leisure Easy-Clean Filter Pump System Model SA-3755

First of all, I …

Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Foil
Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Foil is expensive, generally selling for well over five dollars for thirty-five square-foot, but it does everything that it’s supposed to do, time and time again, regardless of what I’m cooking on it in the oven. This foil, quite simply, doesn’t stick. It’s very easy to …

Eliminator 400W Power inverter
This thing is terrific. It’s a 400W dc to ac inverter so you can run 120V household items off 12 volts DC. The device itself is pretty small and it would not take up much room in your car or camper. I personally have not used it in an …

Vitaminder LivPure Filtered Water Bottle
