Progressive International GMMC-68 Microwavable S'Mores Maker Review

I ordered this for my three kids. We love roasting smores on a campfire but do not get to do that too often. When I saw the low Amazon price, I had my doubts. I was still so excited to try this out. It came in and the kids and I tried it for dessert. It was just as easy as promised. It took only 30 seconds to cook the marshmallows evenly and perfectly. The chocolate doesn't really start melting until you take it out of the microwave which is good. It is less messy that way.
I could not recommend this enough. We use ours very regularly. I have already bought three more as Christmas gifts. Wonderful, simple, inexpensive. What more could you ask for? Go get your own!!

Product Description:
Enjoy delicious s'mores indoors with this easy-to-use contraption--no need to wait until summertime camping trips or gathering with friends around a bonfire at the beach. The nostalgia created with these sweet treats can now be savored any time of year and from the convenience of home. Simply fill the reservoir with water, assemble one or two s'mores on the tray by stacking a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow in between two graham-cracker squares, lower the arms to hold in place, and microwave for up to 30 seconds. The heated water allows the graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate to heat evenly, while the arms prevent the marshmallows from over expanding and overcooking, giving the chocolate time to melt. Be careful when removing the s'more maker from the microwave as the water is hot and can spill. The innovative unit creates consistently perfect s'mores--crisp graham crackers neatly holding together soft marshmallow and melted chocolate. A fun addition to sleep overs or birthday parties, the s'more maker measures approximately 7-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 4 inches and cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.

Harold Import Company Mrs. Anderson's 10-Inch Pie Shield Review

Other reviewers noted that pie shield should be one inch wider in diameter than the pie pan, so I ordered the 10 inch size rather than the 9 inch and it works good. My pie pans also have medal handles so I cut slits in the pie shield for each handle to accommodate.

Paderno World Cuisine Egg Slicer, Plastic, 8 1/4-Inch Review

This looks like cheap plastic crap, but LO!

The cutting wires -- and most important, the metal frames holding the wires secure -- are first rate.I've used it to slice, wedge and dice eggs all through the holiday season and it stood up beautifully.

Be sure to wipe the wires clean while any egg traces are fresh.A "helper" put the slicer away in the drawer without cleaning it, and I had to soak it in hot water for an hour.It's made with stainless steel and is dishwasher safe, so that was OK, just inconvenient. If you wipe it off immediately, there's no need for additional washing.

Great performance and low tech efficiency.

My only quibble is the wedger cuts each egg into 6 wedges, rather than the 4 or 5 I'm used to. This makes thin wedges which are OK for salads (the yolks tend to fall off, but no big whoop). However, the thin wedges are too floppy for appetizers.For New Year, I just quartered eggs with a damp boning knife (thinnest blade I own). Unsure how much of a problem this will be in the future.

William Bounds Sili Pie Crust Protector, Red Review

Before I bought this pie crust protector, I made my own protector from thin strips of aluminum foil, pieced together and perched precariously around the edges of the pie.They tended to slip off when I moved the pie into the oven and were not that great.
I bought this and have used it on a 9" pie plate.I left it on the whole time I was cooking the pie (65 minutes) and the crust came out perfectly browned, not burnt.
The protector was non-stick and cleaned up easily.It does get hot in the oven, so be careful.
Also, a nice touch is that the protector has two "notches" cut into it on opposing sides to allow it to fit snugly on a pie pan with handles.
