This is a very nice pan by WaxonWare. I love the size of it and how deep it is. It is non stick also which is definitely a plus. The non stick works great, it was easy to wipe the pan clean after use. Clean up is so easy. The depth of the pan is perfect for doing pasta sauce and even good for steaming vegetables. The lid has small openings so the steam can escape as well. I have not used this pan in the oven basically because I have casserole dishes specifically for that purpose. The only thing I don't like about the pan is the color. I would have preferred a solid black or grey as it would match more of my current pots and pans. I am happy with the product overall and would recommend it. I received this item in exchange my honest unbiased review.

Set of 6 Professional 18/8 Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons

I am really happy with these measuring spoons. These measure about 4 inches long, they are light weight. I really like the rectangular shape of them because they are so much easier to put them in small spice jars. Some of the round measuring spoons I have used, I have to pour the spice into the spoon. With these spoons, I can put them in the jar and scoop out the spice without making a mess. They are kept together with a ring that snaps nicely. They are made of stainless steel and are dishwasher safe. I washed them in my bottom silverware basket in my dishwasher and they came out nicely, no problems.

Dual Purpose Bamboo Kitchen Board

I was in need of a new cutting board. I have a plastic one and have heard that they can dull your knives and it was better to use a wood cutting board. This is a Dual Purpose Bamboo Kitchen Board. One size is for cutting and the other is for serving. The cutting side is bamboo, and has a “moat” around the edge to catch any liquid you may have when cutting. Quality is nice, no spintering and is wood is even. The other side for serving the wood is a dark brown wood.
This side I wasn’t as impressed with. The wood is uneven and color is uneven as well. It doesn’t really look nice enough to serve with.

Fuzion Cookware Flavor Injectors

These Fuzion Cookware Flavor Injectors are such a great idea. I will be these to make some adult cupcakes. I am thinking of making vanilla cupcakes and filling the injectors with dark rum. They I have tested the injectors and they very were easy to fill up, and looked great. I look forward and to trying this out with some other projects. Reasonable price for the amount your receive. These would be great for parties and special occasions. I received this item in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

MJBAKERS Mini Muffin Pan- 24 Cups

MJBAKERS Mini Muffin Pan- 24 Cups 

I was really excited about this mini muffin pan but was disappointed. I was excited about not having to use any cooking spray. They are advertised as non stick so I decided to put them to the test. I made a batch of brownie bites.  I chose to make the fudge style brownies as opposed to the cake style. I did not spray the pan with Pam or any other type of spray, and I ended up more with brownie bite tops rather than brownie bites. At first I thought maybe the brownies were too warm when I first tried to pop them out.  I waited until they cooled off and still had the same  problem with the bottoms sticking. They may work better with something not quite as moist, but either way I was disappointed. Next time I use them I'll use some Pam or liners. Also want to note because these are silicone they are hard to hold when filled, best to put a cookie sheet to transport. I received this item in exchange for my honest review.

Ultra Fine Mesh Stainless Steel Strainer and Nut Bag

Ultra Fine Mesh 8" Stainless Steel Strainer and Nut Bag

This is a very nice  ultra fine mesh strainer, that comes with a Nut Milk bag as well. The strainer is stainless steel with a nice long handle that is heat resistant. It has superfine mesh which means less food waste. I'll be using this mostly for draining pasta and sifting flower. I may give a try making soy milk with the nut milk bag, I love fresh soy milk. This is a nice quality product. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Stainless Steel with Silicon Tip Tongs by DEMLY

Stainless Steel with Silicon Tip Tongs by Demly


It's pretty silly but I get pretty excited about new kitchen tools.  I love kitchen tongs because of the versatility.  My new tongs by Demly are  made of stainless steel and have silicone grips and tips. The silicone on the side of the tongs make them very easy to hold so they will not slip out of your hand. There's also a loop at the end, so you can hang them on a hook if you'd like. Also pull on the ring and lock the tongs together. The tips are are safe up to 480 degrees. Perfect to use when cooking. I especially like them when turning my chicken or steak in the oven. Also great to use for serving. I think my kids are less messy when using tongs instead of larger serving utensils. There is also a lifetime guarantee.I received this product in exchange my for honest review.

Silicone Baking Set

Silicone Baking Set 

 This set by Bonjour Cusine include two silicone baking sheets and a small spatula. This is the first time I have used baking mats, and I was surprised how much I like them. They didn't cover my cooking sheet completely, I improvised and
just used the area that the mat covered. I tried the mat with cookies. I did not have any problems with the cookies sticking to the sheet nor had any problems with scorching. The mat was easy to clean up with soap and water and I let it air dry. I really like the ease of clean up. Small spatula is made of silicone as well, great for not scratching up your pans. I recommend this set to anyone who does not like "extra" clean up. No oil or grease needed to prevent nonstick. I received this item in exchange for my honest review.
