Promising review: "I have had all sorts of egg beaters over the years and this one wins hands down! The action on it is fantastic. I had an old antique one that I absolutely loved, but it finally bit the dust. I never thought I would find another beater that I liked as much as that old one, but I am a convert. Comes apart and I just throw the bottom half into the dishwasher. There is no way I would recommend you spend your money on any other egg beater. Amazing find!!!" —Kim G.

Promising review: "I've been using this product for several months now. It's great! I keep my place around 73, too warm for butter to just sit out, and the butter bell means I have access to soft butter whenever I need it. No more shredded toast. :)" —Ryan D. Yokley

Promising review: "The best way to juice citrus fruit. This is a beautiful, as well as a highly useful, kitchen item. I like utensils that are made of one solid piece and as a plus, this is easy to grip and easy on the eyes. I usually use this to juice over a sieve, to catch the seeds. I would purchase another, but I have a feeling that this beech wood reamer will last a lifetime." —BB Hill
Get it from Amazon for $8.75.
Promising review: "Cutest bread box ever! Very well built, large enough for an 8 pack of hamburger buns, a loaf of bread, and a half eaten bag of chips. Now. I'm just sad I don't have matching flour/sugar canisters." —andsheleft

Promising review: "This scale is easy to use, it cleans well, and is accurate! Best of all, it needs no electricity! It's sturdy and well designed. A timeless classic, and it holds a lot of things which need weighing. Plus, it's very pretty to look at even when it's empty." —r.p.lipieko
Made with an eleven-pound (5-kilogram) capacity scale.
Get it from Amazon for $21.41.
Promising review: "Best percolator I've ever seen. I'm used to Keurig but at times I need more coffee sooner. This is easy to use, and doesn't take as much time as I thought. You can make it strong or weak as you'd like. Because it's not electric, you can it use on the grill. Going old school has many perks. It makes great coffee, and the handle stays cool." —Candylady71

You warm it with your hands before wrapping up your food, and it hardens and seals when it cools down! Bees are miracles.
Promising review: "In an effort to go green, I purchased these. They are amazing, and have reduced my use of plastic wrap all together. They are washable, and seal to almost anything with the heat of your hands. I will be purchasing more. Great quality." —TDL

Promising review: "This mortar and pestle is such an esthetically pleasing and functional addition to my kitchen that I leave it setting out on the counter at all times so that it is quickly at hand whenever needed. It does a beautiful job of grinding up whole herbs, spices or even pills. It is easily wiped clean and is of a quality heavy weight marble that I know will see many years of use. Love this item!" —L. Mack

I just learned that Strega Nona means "Grandma Witch"!!!
Promising review: "This machine is of excellent build quality. Rolls and cuts pasta superbly. A great value. Keep reasonably clean and it should last a lifetime. And no batteries or electrical outlets required! Don't waste your money on the electric motor that can be attached to this machine, unless you are making huge amounts of pasta, and if that's the case, you probably need a larger heavy-duty motorized unit. This machine, as is, is fantastic for 99% of us! Buon appetito!" —John Penumbra
Promising review: "This little coffee grinder is lovely to look at, takes up minimal space, and easy to use and clean. It only takes a couple of minutes to grind just enough beans for my coffee press. I definitely notice the difference in flavor between fresh, hand-ground coffee beans and ones that are ground in a powered machine. What I didn't expect was how satisfying it is to grind the beans by hand. If you care about the flavor of your coffee and you have the time (really just a couple of minutes) to hand grind your beans, then I highly recommend this device." —S. Tiss

Promising review: "Being a HUGE fan of popcorn, I was willing to try and invest in this popper. I'm so glad I did! It absolutely makes popcorn that is fluffier and more gourmet than if you popped the same kernels in just any pot. It is a high quality, specialized piece of kitchen equipment. If you love popcorn as I do, do not hesitate to stretch your budget to buy this." —Vermont Mom of Two

Promising review: "I now own the 6.5, 8, 10, and 12 inch skillets. They are almost non stick, clean up easily with warm water, and are so much healthier to cook in. My grandmother cooked everything in cast-iron. Food tastes so much better, just the way it use to be. The price is just great and these pans will be handed down to my grandchildren because they will last forever. I highly recommend these skillets." —Mark in Pa.

Promising review: "Amazing what a difference this bird can make to your pies! I definitely made the best apple pie I've ever made with this little device. For the first time ever, my pie did not spill out juices onto the pan below or into the stove, and the crust was flaky and crisper than it has ever been. I really cannot speak highly enough of how well this pie bird worked. If you make pies you need one of these!" —Happylakedreamer

Promising review: "I have gone through several pairs of can-openers in the short three years I have been with my partner. I finally got fed up and decided to take the time to read reviews and hunt for the perfect pair. Well here it is! Super comfortable grip, cuts through cans smooth as butter. Feels like its durably constructed and will last for much longer than any other pair I have owned. Considering purchasing a second, as well as additional for gifts." —Kevvss

Promising review: "I love the way this Dutch oven cooks. This product keeps the heat in so well I can cook at a lower temp. The Dutch oven saves time, money. The food you prepare will be delicious the meat will be tender. The flavors in your food will be enhanced. I used to love using my slow cooker. When I got my Dutch oven I have not used the slow cooker. The Dutch oven will make you look like a pro. I am an experienced cook, but this baby makes me look like a galloping gourmet. Le Creuset is perfection." —D. Cederquist
