George Foreman Deep Fryer with Smart Spin Technology
Everyone knows that deep fried foods are incredibly fatty, but George Foreman is trying to fix that by creating a fryer that uses less fat. After frying the food, the fryer spins the food for up to two minutes on either high or low speed, which removes some of the fat. The spinning also helps the food become crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. There is also a viewing window to help see what is going on. Other features include a timer, programmable thermostat, temperature-ready light, cool-touch handle, and dishwasher safe parts.

Review: OXO Salt & Pepper Grinder Set - Grind Perfection
We can't tell you the shear number of salt and pepper grinders we get asked to review, and we can't tell you the number we turn away. When we were approached to check out this new set of stainless steel grinders from OXO - we were initially well - excited. There's just something immediately different, functionally apparent, and simply designed right with this set of grinders.
First of all - the grips on the bottom and grind settings are easy to figure out. Next - they actually do a great job of grinding at the different levels. We really love how they feel in our hands, and they are attractive enough to put out at any type of meal. The set contains both the salt and pepper grinder - and after you use the set together to cook or for a meal - you'll wonder how you ever used your old set of grinders.
So in a nut shell - these are amazing and different - or perhaps they're just perfect.

Grill Daddy Pro Grill Brush - Clean Your Grill with Steam
We've been using the Grill Daddy Pro over the past weekend, and we have to say - this thing works. Not only is it easy to hold, it features a larger grill brush to break up the junk on your grill grates, and a brush that has water dispensing. You fill the handle with water, and then while you clean the water on the hot grill turns to steam and the mess just goes away. By liquefying the grease, it helps to decrease future grease build up in the brush and cleans grills down to the original surface restoring sear marks for grilling perfection.
- Grill brush uses the power of steam to clean tough baked-on food and grease
- Stainless-steel bristles; safe for cast-iron, steel, or porcelain grill grates
- Long, sturdy handle protects hands from heat; hanging storage hook
- 2-sided head removes for easy cleaning
We highly recommend trying this out - at just $23.95 it's a steal. We're going to have a cleaner grill this Spring, Summer, and Fall thanks to Grill Daddy.
