CDN 2-IN-1 PROBE THERMOMETER - Grill Meats to Perfection
One thing we do when grilling is to check the temperature of the meats on the grill. Some people cook with time, and use just their eye, but on larger cuts of meats, and when cooking lots of meat at once - you can end up with underdone chicken or pork loins. We recently got this new CDN 2-IN-1 PROBE THERMOMETER you can use for grilling or in a conventional oven as well. We took it out for a test drive, and the easy to read temperature, along with color coded scale for "doneness" does the trick. The 2-IN-1 Probe Thermometer also rests on it's side easily, allowing you to put it down without fear of it tumbling off it's grill perch.

We're grilling some pork chops here. The 2-In-1 Thermometer
is easy to hold - and you can see the large display reads easily
from the picture.
We suggest you check it out. The pre-alert and overcooked alert functions were a lifesaver. We often get interrupted to deal with other items or just the kids needing something while grilling.

This is quite a contraption. This egg cracker is designed to slice the shell of your soft or hard-boiled egg. You place the metal cap on the egg and let the ball drop down and supposedly the egg shell cracks in half.

Review: Ziszor Personal Schredder - Protect Your Identity from the Kitchen
We all do more than just cook in our kitchen. We often find ourselves opening lots of different mail in the kitchen, and then tossing the ones we don't like unschredded into the kitchen wastebasket. In this modern age of identity theft this is a very bad idea, and because of that products like Ziszor are coming to market.
The packaging and design for the Ziszor is excellent.
Ziszor is a personal schredder that allows you to stop dumpster diving thieves by using a shredder in the kitchen. We've written several articles on this before, but Ziszor is small and handheld compared to a traditional shredder, thus taking up less space wherever you need to shred.
AeroGrow Expands Product Line - $99 Aerogarden Available
Aerogrow is expanding and growing it's line of Aerogardens. There are going to be more models and some of them starting at just $99. We like the price point, and we love this kitchen contraption.
"The $99 AeroGarden 3 targets an entirely new category with an increased focus on flowers and home décor," said Michael Bissonnette, Founder and Chairman of AeroGrow. "For the first time, anyone can grow a beautiful, blooming flower garden right inside their home or office, any time of year. That's an important step for us, and takes us out of the kitchen to other rooms in the home, and into offices and cubicles as well. There are well over 40 million offices and cubicles in the U.S., and the ability to have a blooming garden that brightens, beautifies and brings life to that space is an overwhelming consumer benefit. As a result, we're seeing strong initial interest from both consumers and retailers, across a wide range of channels."
Also launching with the new gardens are more than 40 new herb, vegetable and flower seed kits and multiple accessory products.
Check out our earlier article on the Aerogarden and most of the models are available here.
We are forever making zucchini slices to put into a pasta, cous cous, or other yummy salad. The problem we always have - making nice consistent slices and not chopping off our hand while doing so. The OXO Good Grips Hand-Held Mandoline Slicer makes this task really easy. You use the soft knob to simply adjust to the desired slice thickness, and slide the zucchini over the stainless steel blade for nice even slices. We like the clear surface that shows slices accumulating below, and the little grippy slider also hides the blades from our kids prying fingers.
My mom got me one of these for my birthday and I don't know how I managed without it. It makes grating cheese or anything else so much easier than using a big awkward grater. It is made from stainless steel and works well with hard cheese, onions, citrus fruits, and ginger.
