There is a waffle maker which I would like to own someday even though I rarely make waffles, heh. However, I make a lot of quesadillas. I make it with plain cheese, sliced tomatoes and scallions, or just with cheese, or with leftover cooked meat from the dinner the night before. I usually just use my electric griddle which I use to make my pancakes as well. I saw this Quintessential Quesadilla Maker and I though, hmmm, that sounds really good.

With the electric griddle, I have to flip the quesadilla to cook the other side. Not with this quesadilla maker. …read more

The innovative Pop Art Toaster has come a long way. Since it’s debut in 1993 other fun and creative toasters have been added in the collection. The 5-in-One Tasty Bakers in different themes for instance are just marvelous. I wouldn’t mind having all of them just for fun.

This is the Standard 5-in-1 Tasty Baker. You can make birthday cake, dog, cat, train, heart, smile face, and blocks.

Since learning how to cook, I’ve come to appreciate kitchen gadgets I can’t live without and I’d like to share them with you:

1. Saute Pans. If you’re starting out and budget is tight, all you need are a couple of saute pans …read more

When I first saw this VacuDome Food Storage Unit at Macy’s online store I was all excited. I think it’s such a cool thing to keep fruits fresh. But then I scrolled down to read the reviews and my excitement went away.

One costumer said the engineering failed to implement the concept. Another review said it stopped working after 1 day. Another one said it stopped after a week. There was 1 positive review but thats about it.
So I guess, this would be something under, “it’s up to you” category. Just be aware of the reviews. The concept is …read more
