I am seriously looking at getting a two burner induction cooktop. Does anyone have any experience? Some models the reviews say only one of the burners will truly function, or the temperatures fluctuate. Can they be plugged into a regular electric outlet, or will I need another dedicated stove line put in? Thanks, folks.
The battles we have with my ice cube tray is maybe stuff of legend. I want the ice it doesn’t want to give me the ice, so you will find me banging it on the kitchen counter which results in a mess which I have to clean, so it is quite annoying.
So it got me thinking, it is the 21st century, surely there must be a better way right? I know we have ice making machines but I am quite frugal and there is no way I can justify that purchase to myself so the next best thing is to find the least annoying icecube tray out there.
I have been to multiple sites all over the internet, I even checked out Alibaba but they all look the same to me, but I am determined that when I want to have a drink it's not after battling my ice cube tray for ice.
What is the least annoying ice cube tray you have found out there?
It’s been a while ago since I made waffles 🧇 but I’m back in the market. Who’s got an amazing waffle maker? I gave this one away many moves ago, should have kept it after looking at the price nowadays.
Bonjour à toutes et tous.
Je suis l’heureux possesseur d’un Cooking Chef XL (le modèle qui peut aller jusque 180º). J’en suis satisfait mais je dois reconnaître que je ne l’utilise pas tant que ça, notamment pour la découpe des légumes.
Je suis en week-end chez une amie qui elle possède un Thermomix. Chaque fois que j’y vais, je suis toujours jaloux de voir comment elle fait pratiquement tous ses repas avec.
Alors votre avis ? J’aimerais idéalement les avis de personnes qui ont eu les deux.
Does anyone has recommendation for a kitchen scale ? I saw that FoodNorm can connect by Bluetooth to one
Any experience or feedback on that ?
We have a gas stove/oven and would like to switch to induction. I guess I require a dedicated 240V / 50-amp circuit, but don’t know if I’ve got that. The thing on the left was apparently for a generator (never used that). Also this house used to power a jacuzzi/hot tub. So …maybe the power is already there? Dunno. That’s why I’m asking. Thanks!!
So, I have owned 2 Ninja blender/processors since I’ve been married. They get a lot of use. We love making smoothies, hummus, etc. I love them in concept, and they’re great… for a while. But I find the plastic pitchers break too easily and are expensive to replace. What is a similar type appliance I can invest in that will really hold up over time?
Help me choose, please. We need all new appliances.
We’re looking at Bluestar, Thermador, Viking, or Wolf for 30” gas ranges and maybe Kitchenaid for dishwasher and side by side fridge. Open to other options, but professional style and less electronics the better.
Viking and Thermador have promotions going on. And they’re tempting.
Thermador Pro harmony has a promo of buy the range $5,700 and get an appliance - we’d get the dishwasher at a $1,400 savings
Viking you can get the 5 series range for $5,200 and get $1k rebate or another appliance. We’d probably get the dishwasher at a $2,200 savings.
Wolf range seems like the best out of all of them, but is the most expensive at almost $7k and we’d still have to buy the dishwasher and fridge.
Bluestar is nice and technically the least expensive range at $4,700 and we’d have to get a dishwasher and fridge.
We were leaning towards Kitchen aid dishwasher and fridge because we had positive experience with them before (Architect series) and they still have a nice side by side fridge. We’ve had a Samsung French door for the past 10 years and want to go back to side by side.
With all that said what would you choose?
The fridge we had for a bit died after 12 years of faithful service and now I'm in the process of choosing a new. I’ve been going round and round as to what I should do, part of it is based on the top freezer versus bottom freezer, with the primary concern being energy use, because electric bills are no joke.
From what I’ve read looking into appliances top freezer refridges tend to be more efficient in use of energy compared to bottom freezer models. I checked out appliances on amazon as well as alibaba for models from China wow, the amount of brands and models is dizzying! Local electronics stores let me see energies and labels in person.
What’s been your experience? Do top freezer models mean lower electricity bills? Any specific model that stands the test of time? Would love to hear from those who have had experience with both. My kitchen would favor the top freezer so it’s looking that way!
I want to improve my homemade donuts by getting a donut appliance. I love that a donut maker can be quick, easy to use, and doesn’t need oil, making cleanup simple and less messy.
But on the other hand, a deep fryer can give that classic crispy outside and soft inside texture that feels more like bakery quality donuts. I’ve seen both options available almost everywhere, even on budget friendly platforms like Amazon, Etsy, Alibaba, etc.
I’m just not sure which one is better for home use long term, what would you recommend?
Does anyone have any experience with a Berbel Ergoline 2 extractor hood?
All kitchen showrooms advertise it as an extremely high-quality extractor, it is very expensive. The centrifugal mechanism sounds like a good idea, but I can’t find any reviews for it online.
We are an Indian household so a good kitchen smoke extractor is essential.
