Coming in a variety of cool colors like the orange above, Bodum Latte's foaming spiral not only rotates in both directions, but it also moves up and down, thus pumping more air into the milk for a more even froth. You can prepare coffeehouse style drinks with the push of a button, and it's great for other light mixing such as sauces, dressings, protein drinks and more. What's interesting is the fact the Bodum Latte is a battery operated frother. We think this is a great way to go as long as you use rechargeable batteries because we know if we had one we'd use it all the time.

Bosch recently sent us their new really easy to use kitchen machine. What's a kitchen machine? Well think of it as a mixer with attachments all working around a large 800 watt motor base. The design is also very simple, and putting together the mixing bowl, beaters - etc. was also really easy and quick.
We used ours to mix icing and cake mixes, and we had our mom make some bread using it. The results? As stated easy to use, clean up, and also store. It's a little larger than other small appliances, but the things it can do are vast. You can also get attachments like a blender and other items for it.
- 800 watt motor
- Easy-to-use (4 speeds plus impulse) with slower low-speed setting; faster high-speed setting
- 6.5 quart high-volume mixing bowl with higher dough capacity
- Dough hook, scraper and double beater included.
- Security device, cover for both drives
- Integrated cable storage
- Durable, easy to clean surface
- Wide range of optional accessories eliminate the need for many additional kitchen appliances

We've been wanting to get into the Turkey frying game for some time, but the outdoor fryers just frighten us and are also not that useful for cooking on a regular basis other deep fried food. This indoor electric turkey fryer accommodates turkeys up to 14 pounds, and will also make all kinds of other fried foods. It has a digital timer; power/ready indicator lights; adjustable thermostat control; storage compartment for cord, and the a fold-away lid with viewing window.
We've seen the infomercial for these as well, and we have to say we didn't shut it off. It's basically a fits a turkey and allows you to make any other fried foods. So if you're looking for a treat, then this could be a great gift for that turkey frying person in your life or even for yourself.

We've yet to purchase a deep fat fryer, but we do love the design of this 840-watt stainless-steel deep fryer for making fried foods at home. We're big chicken strip eaters as of late, and mostly bake them, but having the option to be naughty and deep fry could be a nice treat.
This fryer holds 4-1/4 cups of oil and 1-1/4 quarts of fresh food, and features a see-through lid to see how the cooking is going. The adjustable thermostat has a "ready" indicator light. Frying food can also be quite stinky, and this fryer has a odor-reducing filter to alleviate some of the after smell.

Now that the weather is a bit cooler, and we're watching more movies in the evening each Fall we eat more popcorn instead of other snacks. We're a sea salt and olive oil popcorn family, and perhaps it's time to get a dedicated popcorn maker for those big movie nights.
This popcorn maker with motorized stirring mechanism for better popping has special vents that let moisture escape to keep popcorn crisp, which is often a problem when you make it in a large pot. It also has a removable nonstick cooking plate, and dishwasher-safe bowl.
