my favorite recipe is for butternut squash and sausage risotto...a great combo...and if you have a pressure cooker it is a fool proof way to make risotto perfectly in a quarter of the time.

I like the All Clad non-stick skillet and it lasts a long time with care. But the non-stick pan that changed my world is made by Swiss Diamond and is reinforced with diamonds. It is so durable an...

what about Preserve http://www.recycline.com/ These plates, cups and utensils are all made from #5 recycled plastics...they used left over yogurt containers...

I like the silicone cups. I know people always say the skillet with vinegar tip but I don't do it often enough to perfect it and the silicone cups help. The pan probably works great too if you ha...

I am going to disagree with the ALL CLAD overrated comment..I LOVE it.... but what I will say is that if you have a Skillet and a Saute pan already, I do not see the need for the French skillet.

I really like the Krups Burr grinder for $49 or $59 dollars. It seems to do a good job on various settings for courseness. Sometimes I feel like a French press and sometimes I make a pot. The on...

I do like using them and find depending on the batter a little spray will do the trick...seems like the thicker batters don't need it. One thing to check is the thickness and quality of the silico...

I have found the best made step stools on the market are Leifheit. I cannot recommend them enough. We use ours in a commercial environment so it gets a lot of use but has lasted for years while o...

I'm not too into this peeler as I still love my Zyliss peeler and I found this one awkward for my hand. However, I really like the Palm Brush which uses the same technology for a Veggie Brush. It...

I really love the Soho Magnetic Spice Boards. They can go on a wall or on a cabinet door. They really look like artwork on the wall.

This recipe is fantastic. While I have done a similar flavor profile before by blanching and then sauteeing, this non-cooked version is even better. The broccoli retains its firmness but does not...

I have not used that tool but I have used the wallsaver linked below for only $3.95 and just to make the online purchase seem worthwhile I picked up the roller saver and I LOVE that even more but t...

I agree that they are easy to make but I disagree about the pan..... for foolproof success you really need the popover pan

I have the system dish rack @$49.99 and it is great. I would pay another $20 for that cool new steel frame and bamboo knife holder...great design. Worth every penny for something you use and look...

the new microplane with the premium handle is a better hold and has two rubber feet to hold it still on a counter or in a bowl...both nice improvements. that said, i love the microplane and have n...

I wouldn't want to live without it...even the packaged greens need washing. I also find that crisp greens from a spinner make my salads so much better. OXO and Zyliss both work great. If you ha...
