These peas have grown well in my garden. So far we've gotten a couple of handfuls of peas off our plants (I think I have ten or twelve plants growing), with more coming. They aren't super producers, but are doing well. I had a hard time getting the dried peas to germinate in the ground--almost all the plants I tried planting that way didn't come up (even after soaking). But those that I let germinate inside a plastic bag on a wet paper towel (and then planted), have grown just fine. I also planted some in plastic cups and let them start growing indoors and then transplanted them, and those worked just fine too. I would buy these again, and will keep the rest to use in future gardens.

A vegetable to grow especially if you have children about your garden. Plant the seed directly in the soil and provide support and watch the tendrils grap the trellis.

Stainless Steel Rice Cooker Model ME81 (Formerly ME8) - by Miracle Exclusives Review

Stainless Steel Rice Cooker Model ME81 (Formerly ME8) - by Miracle Exclusives
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We cook rice and grains frequently, as do many Asian-Americans. We have used plastic-bowl microwave vessels, aluminum & teflon pots, steam pressure cookers and several others over the past five plus decades. They all work, but each has a down side. For instance wait till your visitors or grand kids hear the hissing monster of a pressure cooker.

We feared aluminum toxicity, teflon ingestion, plastic leaching and plain uncertainty of what new epidemiologic research will unleash on us tomorrow. My wife and I have conveniently labeled our failing intellects as chronic "rice-in" toxicity. Forget age, it must be all that peeling cooking pot and rice!
The stainless steel Miracle is a reasonable answer, unless we find out in some distant future that stainless steel is also a hazard. Probably not. This cooker performs well and passes muster readily with us. We have not noted any spills or crusty rice paste sticking to the bottom. We do have the advantage of having cooked rice and grains for many years. But this is an easy skill to acquire if you learn to vary the amount of water used to suit the type of rice or grain. Don't lose heart too soon.
The pot washes easily if you soak it in water for a few hours -- and better still leave it overnight for your spouse to take care of tomorrow!
A vege tray comes with the cooker. It steams beans, peas and carrots well and to a ready-to-eat tender state.
I agree that a price of some $50.00 would have been better, but the convenience and safety are worth the added whimper while you pay the price. You could shop around and may be able to find a slightly lower price. And don't blow the savings on pricey coffee.

Charcoal Companion Ultimate Rectangular-Shaped Nonstick Grilling Basket Review

Charcoal Companion Ultimate Rectangular-Shaped Nonstick Grilling Basket
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Hard to tell how something is made and works by seeing a small photo. I wanted something to grill small items like cut vegetables where I could close the grill top for more even cooking and smoke flavor and flip everything at once. Well, there seems to be 2 major problems. First, the wires do not form a tight grid for keeping smaller pieces from falling through, although that is what it looks like in the photo. Instead, they are pretty far apart (about 3/8 to 1/2 inch) and parallel--they only have 2 wires running crosswise at 90 degrees on each side. The grid look in the photo comes from the wires on the top and bottom running at 90 degrees to each other. SO LOTS OF STUFF FALLS THROUGH. Second, the handle requires a good grip and is in bad need of a locking device so you don't have to maintain the heavy grip on the basket when you flip and move it.
This said, the basket would probably be good for hardy cuts of fish and thick burgers--(thin delicate fish might have an issue being flipped with the thickness (interior height) of the basket). For cut veggies, it is pretty useless. Forget asparagus, cut peppers, cut onions, etc.
I returned it.

My dog loves these toys. She sleeps with it and takes it everywhere she goes. The giggling sounds makes me laugh every time. I would not recommend if you have a very small dog as this toy may be too big. Depending on how much your dog likes to tear things up, the toy will last for a good amount of time. I buy 2 or 3 of these a year for my dog.

I bought the seeds from this company with high expectation and high shipping cost. Though I followed all the instructions mentioned on the envelope - out of the whole pocket of seeds - ONLY ONE - germinated!All other seeds just didnt germinate. I have the feeling that the seeds are past their germination period. Must be dead seeds. Unless you want to risk your hard earned money, i would suggest you to try some other company or better buy the plants. For the money you pay for one pocket of seeds past their prime, you may get definetly more than one live plant.

We were very excited to receive this item as a gift. After about ten uses of spinning salad greens (not overloaded or something obscure) the cord broke. It showed significant signs of fraying and abrasion. We pulled the handle just a few times for each drying cycle. We'll be searching online for similar experiences and potential fixes, we'd love to get it back up and running.

A great way to encourage healthy snacking and foster nutritious mealtimes, this versatile salad spinner makes a smart choice for on-the-go families, at-home entertaining, and more. The unit's collapsible design allows for tucking it neatly into any drawer, cupboard, or pantry, while its updated function takes the hassle out of meal preparation. To operate, simply fill the expanded 5-quart-capacity drainage basket with freshly washed produce--anything from chopped fruits and vegetables to loose-leaf spinach, lettuce, fresh herbs, and more. Next, place the basket into the expanded outer bowl and secure the lid. With a firm pull of the self-retracting cord, the basket spins to remove excess water, leaving its contents thoroughly cleaned, dried, and ready to consume. For added convenience, the unit's tight-sealing lid includes an integrated brake that stops the spinning motion with the touch of a button. Dishwasher-safe for thorough cleanup (hand-wash the lid), the salad spinner measures 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 3 inches when collapsed and about 6 inches tall when fully expanded.

Zyliss Smart Guard Food Slicer with Stainless-Steel Blade and Retractable Blade Guard Review

Zyliss Smart Guard Food Slicer with Stainless-Steel Blade and Retractable Blade Guard
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used many differnt brands and styles of mandolines and this is by far my favorite. I use it most often for making scalloped potatoes (until I got this one, my husband called them bloody scalloped potatoes) and it is just great. I like the fact that the blade isn't exposed until you pull on the handle and I like that the blades are fixed (less chance of cuts). I generally just use the thinnest settings, but it does have a little button you slide to change the settings for thicker slices. It is also nice to be able to see through the mandoline to what you are slicing into the bowl ( the runway area is see through). I did notice if you slice onto a plate rather than a bowl, the vegetables can get stuck in the slicer as the veggies build up. Less chance of this when using a deeper bowl.

A fast, safe, and efficient way to prepare fruits and vegetables, this innovative food slicer makes a smart addition to any kitchen collection. The unit's razor-sharp, serrated stainless-steel cutting blade slices effortlessly through a variety of produce--from thick carrots, potatoes, and parsnips to tomatoes, apples, soft kiwi, berries, cucumbers, and more--perfect for whipping together healthful afternoon snacks, colorful salads, and a host of delicious main dishes. Accompanied by a handy food holder, whose miniature "teeth" firmly grip chunks or whole pieces of fruit or vegetables while slicing, the unit ensures that fingers and hands remain far from the cutting blade during use. Furthermore, its patented retractable blade-guard mechanism eliminates the dangers of traditional slicers, paring knives, and other cutting implements, operating with the simple touch of a button to lock a plastic guard over the blade for injury-free use. Anchored by non-slip rubber feet that won't skip or move across the countertop, the slicer's collapsible stand enables compact storage in a cupboard or drawer. Additional highlights include a unique thickness selector that allows for choosing between different-size slices, a transparent runway for easy viewing of the results, and a wide design that can be suspended over a bowl or platter for added convenience. The food slicer measures approximately 14 by 5-1/2 by 2-1/5 inches when collapsed and carries a five-year limited warranty.

Great quality! I've had this pattern for 5 years and continue to be satisfied. I recently added this vegetable dish to my set. It's sturdy, versatile (going from microwave to dishwasher), and neutral so that I can mix and match with my other table settings. The round vegetable bowl is heavy and resistant to chipping. It's approximately 10-1/2" wide from side to side, the rim itself 1-1/2", and the bowl about 3" deep. I primarily use it to serve veggies but recently I served a tossed salad in it to serve 3 people and it worked well.

These bags are perfect for buying produce. They don't work as well to store produce in the fridge, the mesh allows too much air and veggies tend to wilt much faster. But I bought them as grocery bags, not as storage bags, so they're perfect for what I need them for! The tare weight is sewn into the bag, so the cashier can deduct it easily, but each bag only weighs 0.08 lbs so it only costs a few extra cents if you forget.

Many cities are eliminating plastic shopping (checkout) bags, but they have failed to address the fact that on most trips to the market we also use 6 to 8 plastic produce bags. Our Reusable Mesh Produce Bags eliminate the need for plastic bags. They are made of UNBLEACHED ORGANIC COTTON material. Although higher in cost, unbleached organic cotton provides huge benefits to the environment and our health, because it avoids the highly toxic pesticides, fertilizers and processing chemicals used in regular cotton crops. Reusable Mesh Bags are great for fruits and vegetables. The mesh fabric is highly stretchable and allows for easy identification of contents. They can be used for both shopping and storage, as the cotton material allows for excellent air circulation. Easy to care for, just wash in cold water and line dry. Expect about 10-20% shrinkage on the first wash. The mesh material will stretch back out to near the prewashed size when filled with produce. For smaller bulk produce see our Organic Cotton Reusable Produce Bags, made of solid muslin sheeting.

I needed a food chopper badly, so I'm glad I made this purchase. It does a good job, it's incredibly cheap and the size is indeed very compact. However, I have to say, that even for a one-person household I find it a bit too small.Even an onion has to be chopped in halves, the whole onion would be too much for it. If I was to buy a new one I'd go for a bigger one.
