OXO Good Grips Pepper Grinder



OXO Good Grips Pepper Grinder

The title says it all! I am pitching the four other pepper mills I have in my cupboard in various states of repair. This is the ULTIMATE in pepper mills! Easy to use, easy to fill, works perfectly and feels good in the hand. Equally at home next to the stove or on the table - a truly SUPERIOR product in every sense! I would stand on a mountain top to sing the praises of this product. BRAVO, OXO - Bravo!!!!

With its stainless steel accents and clear acrylic body, the Oxo good grips pepper grinder is as comfortable in the kitchen as the dining room. The pepper grinder has a non-corrosive ceramic grinder which won't absorb flavors or odors and is positioned at the top of the grinder so as not to leave a mess on the counter or table. The salt grinder is easily adjustable from fine to coarse grind and rests flat when upside down for easy refilling. The grinder has a soft, nonslip grip for comfortable grinding and comes filled with whole peppercorns. 4-3/4-ounce capacity

Coleman 5071-700 Ambient Firelight Propane Fireplace and Table

We purchased this Coleman Fireplace and are very pleased with our purchase. It is well built, easy to set up and use, convenient size, uses the small propane tanks and is also very attractive. Amazon shipped the item quickly and I would gladly buy from them again. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for an affordable firetable and if space is a concern, this may be the one for you.

This granite table ring measures 30 inches in diameter and when fire is lit, decorative media in the bowl allows fire to dance around to create romantic environment. When fireplace is not in use, it can be used as a table by just covering up the fireplace bowl with the matching granite center piece.

Makita BL1830 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Battery


Makita BL1830 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Battery

Really, these batteries provide seemingly endless power. They hold their charge for weeks with very little loss. I can use one battery for drilling and driving throughout an entire (moderately sized) project. They are extremely lightweight and charge in twenty minutes or less usually (in hot weather it takes longer).

All three of mine slide on and off easily, with no issues of binding or falling off. With all the praise comes a VERY important caveat. DO NOT run these batteries into the ground.

The instructions state that as soon as you notice a loss of power, stop and charge. If you over-discharge Li-Ion batteries, you can seriously degrade the life of the battery. These batteries are 1/3 cheaper on Amazon.com than at the home centers, so buy from here! Also, only the cells themselves are made in Japan, all other parts are made and final assembly is in China.

The Makita 18-volt LXT battery produces 280-percent more lifetime work with 2-times more cycles. Charging at any time will have no effect on the battery and a self-discharge keeps battery cells active and ready for use. It has a better fit and a longer run time (280 percent longer runtimes).

Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender with Whisk and Chopper Attachments


Cuisinart Smart Stick Hand Blender with Whisk and Chopper Attachments

I don't know about the warranty stuff, and I've only had this a week or so, but I love it. I always hated ladling chunky soup into the blender, thence into another bowl while I did further batches, making a mess at every stage. With this I did a big bowl of soup, put the hand blender into it and in maybe 15 seconds it was perfectly pureed. Moreover, a note in the manual led me to using it every morning to froth the almond milk I use in my latte, at which it does a fantastic job--again, 15 seconds or so and way better than you get at Starbucks (though a good barrista can still do a better job with steam). Terrific.

Cuisinart makes it quick, clean and easy to blend, prep and whip a variety of ingredients. Our Smart Stick Hand Blender includes Whisk and Chopper attachments to extend this blender's performance. Blends or whips in the bowl, pitcher or pot, to eliminate extra dishes, and with the Chopper attached, it turns into a handy mini food prep tool. The look is commercial, the performance is professional, and the ease of use is pure Cuisinart!
