Hamilton Beach Digital Simplicity Deluxe Rice Cooker/Steamer Review

Hamilton Beach Digital Simplicity Deluxe Rice Cooker/Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had the unit for about a month and have used it several times for rice and steaming vegetables. There are very nice features on this rice cooker. The choices for cooking are straight forward and easy to use. The steam outlet is handy and doesn't allow liquid to build up around the outside or base of the unit. It cooks both large and small quantities of rice equally well. My main complaint is that the steamer basket is too shallow, and doesn't allow for steaming larger vegetables, like artichokes, broccoli bunches, cauliflower, etc. It would also be nice to have a recipe book that gave a base line for cooking/steaming foods. (I used my old rice cooker's manual as a base line.) Overall, it does what it's supposed to do (cook rice)and does it well. Since it's made in China (like every other small appliance) I worry about it's reliability, but I don't see any other option for that problem. Last note: The warranty is next to worthless: the purchaser is responsible for shipping to and from the manufacturer should anything break or stop working in the first year.

Unfortunately, to properly clean this after use, you will need a wrench to remove the meat shuttle and you will have to remove the blade to clean properly under it. I truly can't believe that this product has been built with such a major oversight. Don't waste your money on this product.

This product works great for me. I hate spending money on herbs just to use a little and have the rest go bad shortly after. I put some herbs (mostly basil) in here and they were fresh for a few weeks! No leakage probs either, the bottom is clearly labeled to twist to lock and the plug stays flush.
This thing has already paid for itself in money saved and looks pretty cool in my fridge and on the counter when I'm ready to cook.

Excellent prduct. I have a very large woodchipped area and a bank around my pond. Other products worked well, but within a week of killing the growth, new growth would begin to appear. This product killed all growth, including vines and pickes and has kept my woodchips and bank area free of any new growth for over a month now. It definitely is "extended weed control". The price on Amazon was the best I could find either locally or on-line. Shipping was fast and very reasonable.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the best juicer we have used and we have tried many. I had developed skin cancer and started using this juicer to juice 2 quarts of carrot and apple juice and 1 quart of leafy green vegetable juice, which I drink 8 oz. glasses of spread throughout the day. The cancer abated. The juicer is fantastic. It is quiet, easy to use and easy to clean. We highly recommend it. Even my children (8 years old and up) can use it safely. We also use it to juice wheatgrass, which almost no other juicer can effectively juice unless it is a wheatgrass juicer only. This machine crushes the food then presses it into a dry pulp squeezing nearly every drop of juice out of almost anything. It's Great! If you need a juicer, this is the one. Nothing else comes close. We only wish it came in a solid stainless steel version.

Harsch Gairtopf Fermenting Crock Pot - 10 Liter - ME7420 Review

Harsch Gairtopf Fermenting Crock Pot - 10 Liter - ME7420
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
No doubt, this is a very nice crock. The picture on the web shows a taller crock, but the 5 liter size is actually a little wider and "squattier" than pictured. Height and width of the crock did not matter in my case.The crock I received had a few coarse pieces of pottery on the edges of the rims and on the bottom, which caused a deep scratch in my counter top. I used an emory board to smooth out the burrs, which took about thirty seconds. So just be careful when unpacking the crock...an emory board took off the rough spots very easily and did not leave any mark on the crock. This crock is heavy and extremely will packed for shipping. I really hesitated to spend $106.on one crock, but just the fact that this crock has a ring on the top which holds water to keep the contents clean has already made me a believer in it. This is a good size for one person. I would recommend a larger crock for a family.Follow up: This is a VERY heavy crock when full.
Well, after two very deep scratches on my corian counter, I am going to adhere some thick felt or cork to the bottom of the crock. I did not completely remove the burrs on the bottom of the crock and it really messed up my counter. Set it on a cork pad or heavy felt before placing it on any surface. I am loving the results of the fermenting, though!

Average Reviews:

I purchased Deer Off when I was at the end of my rope. I've always had a small problem with squirrels in my roses, but they only ate the ones that were easy to get to and I was content to let them have them, since there were so many others. Then an adolescent squirrel fell in love with them and braved the thorns to eat EVERY ROSE on my bushes. He'd wait until new roses budded and snatch them before they bloomed, no matter how high they were. He'd pull stalks over to get them and was wrecking my bushes. As an animal lover, I knew that I had to find an alternative I could live with.
Deer Off is amazing. I sprayed it ONCE (about 6 weeks ago) and the squirrels now give my plants wide berth. The smell must be offensive to them, but the scent is mild to my human nose and faded to nothing about a minute after spraying. I HIGHLY recommend it. I didn't expect it to work this well!

Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 1.5-qt. Review

Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 1.5-qt.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I was in the market for a juicer, I had 2 in the price range I was thinking about. They were the Breville Compact Juice Fountain and Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer. A friend had let me borrow the Power Juicer, and I really liked it. As I was reading reviews and doing research, I concluded that the Breville was a better choice. So, I went out and bought the Breville.
I made the wrong choice! When I juiced apples, it left chunks of apples un-juiced that were about the size of a quarter. It also sent a good bit of the peal into the pulp area. I also found the juice to be very "gritty" and full of pulp. I was juicing a days worth of juice for my wife and me (about 32 lbs of apples), so I had to stop the machine and clean out the pulp 3 times.
I have since returned the Breville juicer and bought the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. It works much better. I can juice 32 lbs of apples and never change the pulp catcher (I put a bag in it, so I don't even have to clean that part of the machine. The juice is much cleaner with less pulp. The Breville has a faster RPM motor, but the Power Juicer is every bit as powerful. It juices whole apples easily. You can also get about 4 decent sized carrots in there with no trouble.
All in all, I recommend the Power Juicer over the Breville. If you like a lot of pulp, then you might like the Breville. It is a good juicer for smaller quantities of juice. The Breville is a better looking juicer as far as its styling and color goes, but for me the Power Juicer wins hands down.

I wish I would have kept looking for a high-wheel cultivator, but settled on this one. We acquired an old one years ago that was very used when we got it, and used it for years and years after without any problems. It got lost in a move; otherwise I would still be using it. The implements on this on bend very easily. I would have thought they would have at least been heat-treated/tempered. The frame also flexes and bends very easy. I am going to rework/reinforce this one since we bought it and make some new attachments, but would not have to do this if it was built right from the beginning. Keep looking

Newman's Own Organics Adult Variety Pack Canned Cat Food Review

Newman's Own Organics Adult Variety Pack Canned Cat Food
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, I have very little doubt that Newman's Own wet cat food is an excellent and healthy choice to feed one's cat. Feeding a cat a quality food, even if expensive compared to other catfoods, is worthwhile and if it prevents one health problem might even pay for itself. For those reasons, and because I support Newman's ideals in general, my cat has had the pleasure of enjoying many cans of Newman's food.
However, in comparison to other cat foods in this price range, my cat does have a couple of complaints. I should mention that my cat LOVES to eat, it is his primary motivation in life. Need him to take a pill? Just coat it in wet food and drop it in his dish. But, because he likes to eat so much, he must also have controlled portions - 1/3 can, twice a day. And that leads to his first complaint. Open a can of Newman's, and there is a lot of empty space, around the food and even large open cracks in the food. There certainly isn't the volume of solid food in a 5.5 oz can of Newman's compared to the competition. The second complaint: Newman seems to love his brown rice, which is ok, but he keeps the grains big and whole. My cat loves food, and cleans his dish every time... but he usually eats right around those big grains of rice.
Basically, my cat isn't getting as much food from a can of Newman's as from his favorite brands (Nature's Logic and Innova EVO), so we'll be cutting Newman out of the rotation.

Pyrethrin Spray Concentrate, 1 Pt Review

Pyrethrin Spray Concentrate, 1 Pt
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Been testing this out for a few months.
We live in an apartment complex and bugs, especially roaches has always been a problem. We hate using raid around pets and especially in the kitchen so I decided to look into this.
Pros: It works. Doesn't kill within 5 seconds like raid does, but it does kill within about 45 seconds with direct spraying. It's natural/biodegradable so I don't really expect it to work quite as fast, but it DOES work, for sure. I even sprayed a few and trapped them under a glass and checked them later to make sure they were dead.
Cons: This stuff breaks down really fast in direct light. We used an opaque (non-see-through) white plastic sprayer because I knew this was an issue. It's actually a pro for me that it breaks down in direct light so it's not building up toxins in your house. But, even after using a non-see-through spraying container the stuff lost it's potency after about a week of it just sitting in the sprayer. I have a new small metal sprayer that I'm going to try and see if it works any better.
The container it ships in also leaks if knocked over so watch that. Took me like 2 days to figure out what that intense pepper smell was before I noticed the bottle had tipped over.

Starfrit Manual Food Processor Review

Starfrit Manual Food Processor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I decided to purchase this product, there were only two reviews and both were all right, so I thought I would give it a try. I was specifically looking for something to chop organic matter just a little bit smaller before it went out into the compost bucket on my back porch. In other words, I was not looking for food to be cut very small or uniformly and this processor still doesn't perform-- even after I do most of the chopping for it first. Instead of real chopping blades, it simply has two razor blades. They don't cut much, but after just a few spins they invariably get stuck on something really tough. You know. Like a leaf of spinach or piece of pear. The manufacturers should have just saved the plastic and left the nonskid ring off the bottom; it works so poorly for keeping the processor in place, I exert more effort holding it in place than I do turning the handle.
Don't waste the money on this one!

Professional Greenhouse Kit Review

Professional Greenhouse Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Other reviewers have rated the product poorly based on the ridiculously high price. While it is true that this kit can be had for under $6 elsewhere (I bought mine at Home Depot for about $5), the product is excellent and some comments should be made about that.
This product is *identical* to other greenhouse kits sold on Amazon under the names "Carefree Jiffy Greenhouse", "Ferry-Morse Seed #5272 Pro Greenhouse Kit", and perhaps there are others floating about with different names and prices. Indeed unusual but nevertheless they are all the same.
You get (72) peat disks, each clad in a fine biodegradable netting, in an 11" x 22" plastic tray. A clear plastic lid is included. Add (2) quarts of warm water, the disks expand, pencil-push your seeds in, blanket the seeds with peat harvested from the pellets, lid the tray and place in indirect sunlight until the seedlings grow about 2", move outside and prop open the lid in partial sun, then transplant in about a week or less.
I've been using this for vegetables -- everything from tomatoes, beans, corn, pumpkins, even carrots (snipping off the bottom pellet mesh with a scissor before transplanting). Everything grows well and fast and, for me, it's more determinate and satisfying than sowing seeds directly into the soil.
The plastic is recyclable -- #1 or #2, I think -- so either dispose of responsibly or keep reusing (as I do) by purchasing bundles of the pellets which are cheap and sold separately.
On a final note, if one wanted to replicate the kit themselves it would be quite easy. The "internals" of the Jiffy kit are the aforementioned plastic tray which has (2) parts -- a 2" deep tray and a lightly perforated rectangle of plastic with circular depressions for the disks seated inside. When the water is added the internal tray raises and floats. You could use an ordinary baking pan for the external tray and non-cardboard egg cartons with a few tiny holes punched in the bottom. Roll and pack small balls of peat and wrap each in thin cheesecloth. Place the balls in the egg cartons and snip an opening on the top to place the seeds. Cover the tray with clear plastic wrap. Transplant the balls.

That's why we devote more of our attention, care, and resources to make a top-quality VCO superior. It contains the optimum amount of beneficial fatty acids, largely medium chain fatty acids (55% lauric acid) and natural vitamin E - tocopherols, which cause resistance to pre-oxidation. It is distinct from artificially stabilized hydrogenated vegetable fats, and animal fats - both have been medically traced to cause deadly degenerative diseases. ... Our processes uphold consistent Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), HACCP, and ISO procedures to assure every single time our best quality oil, and prevent any contamination. These Good-Housekeeping precautions may not be mandatory in traditional wet-milling or manual extraction methods due to additional costs. ... We guarantee our VCO is safe, unblended with other vegetable or fractionated oil... and certified organic by Ecocert of Germany. ... VCO's medium chain triglycerides (MCT), which mimic those of mother's breast milk that boost infant immune system and brain development, found their way in professional infant formulas as DHA and ARA nutrients. In adults, it also causes metabolic rate increases (good for weight loss). Inside the body, monolaurin, the monoglyceride derivative of VCO's lauric acid (C 12) has shown broad-spectrum antiseptic action against bacteria, fungi, and drug-resistant viruses. Thus, make our VCO excellent nutrition supplement in liquid form (unlike those inadequately potent softgels) or mixed for prepared foods, smoothies or other beverages. And for fun flavor on popcorns, too!
