Wel Pac Panko Bread Crumbs, 6-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12) Review

Wel Pac Panko Bread Crumbs, 6-Ounce Bags (Pack of 12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product will give you the crispiest chicken, fries, onion rings and the most delicious country fried steak. The flakes are made of rice and have a much heavier texture than just plain breadcrumbs, so it sticks better to food and gets 10 times crispier. You use it the same way you'd use regular breadcrumbs. Because it has so much more volume than regular breadcrumbs, you can also use it as a topping for casseroles. It's also the perfect filler to add when preparing a meatloaf. It's the only breadcrumbs I use!!

French's French Fried Onions, Original, 2.8-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) Review

French's French Fried Onions, Original, 2.8-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These smaller cans of French's French fried onions are getting scarce and more expensive in stores, so at $2.37 apiece this is a GREAT deal!
$2.37 is with Amazon Prime shipping, which is really worth it. These onions are best known for green bean casserole, but they are delicious on other casseroles, on salads, on baked potatoes, on hamburgers and other sandwiches, and on top of chilis and soups. Get these while you can--they really liven up a boring meal.

Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, 44-Ounce Units (Pack of 4) Review

Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, 44-Ounce Units (Pack of 4)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This flour works fine for certain things, depending on your taste preferences. It has a very strong aftertaste (kind of bitter/sour) because of the bean flour. Thus it is pretty strong in plain breads and rolls. If you don't mind that, then good for you! (My husband is pretty sensitive and can't tolerate the bean flour or taste very well.) I found it works better in cookies, chocolate or spice cakes, brownies, banana bread, and pizza dough. Because these baked goods are made with other strong flavors, they help mellow out the bean taste which can be pretty overpowering if you don't have something with which to temper it. I like the consistency of this flour better than the rice flour blend I've also been using but again, consider your taste preferences and what you'll be baking/cooking with it.

I use Bob's Red Mill wheat gluten flour for making seitan, a wheat-gluten "meat" familiar to vegans and vegetarians. It is very easy to use, is obviously high-quality, and keeps well. I've found Bob's works the best out of all the brands for this use. I just wish that it was organic and that they made bigger bags (the case comes with a lot of packaging, which seems like a waste).

Bob's Red Mill Vital Wheat Gluten is made from the natural protein found in the endosperm of the wheat berry. When combined with water it becomes highly elastic and taffy-like. Added to bread dough, it helps retain the gas and steam from baking and gives more volume to the baked bread. It can be especially helpful for baking breads made with coarse, whole grain flours and cereals. Bob's Red Mill is the most unique flour mill in the Northwest. We use century old stone grinding equipment to freshly mill whole grain products. Delight your family with whole grain goodness. All natural. Bob's Vital Wheat Gluten is 75 to 80% protein. Add about one tablespoon per cup flour in your bread recipe and improve texture and elasticity and help your bread rise.

Norpro 11 Inch Small Spatula, Red Review

Norpro 11 Inch Small Spatula, Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love the look of this spatula and I love the feel of the handle in my hand. It has a great ergonomic design and it's very easy to hold on to. What I don't like about the spatula is the same thing that a previous reviewer liked a lot so it's easy to see this spatula could be very good for some people and not so good for others. It just depends on what you want a spatula to do.
The rubber end of the spatula is just too hard for my personal preference. It's difficult to get it to scrape up anything in the bottom of a bowl because it has no "give." I like a spatula to be able to moosh a bit so I can get every last bit out of a bowl. With this spatula that's just about impossible.
The other reason I give this a two-star rating (and that's being generous) is that the rubber end came off the first time I used the spatula. It continues to come off in use and when being washed.

SILICONE JAR/ICING SPATULA-RED Review

SILICONE JAR/ICING SPATULA-RED
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wanted to replace a rubber half spatula that hardened over time and had lost it's flexibility with a silicone one. I have a red silicone spoon and full size spatula with metal handles from Chefmate that I just love. Couldn't match that but this was a good second choice. It is 10-3/8" in length. The silicone portion is 4-1/8" in length and the handle is clear plastic making up the 6-1/4" length. It says it is high heat resistant to 500 degrees Farenheit or 260 degrees Centrigrade. There is a hole in the handle which allows it to hang from a hook or be placed in a utensil container. I haven't tried it with peanut butter so I don't know how it would do with a firmer substance but I can tell you it is a great jar spatula for anything like mayonnaise, pasta sauce, etc. It is able to reach all the various curved areas and is long enough to maintain a good grip. I purchased LeCreuset mini spatula for cans such as tomato paste or sauce. It's 2-5/8" length is better for cans because it is small enough not to cut up the silicone on the sharp edges of the can. Both are approximately 14/16ths of an inch in width which is great for small openings. Would highly recommend.

Norpro Deluxe Pastry & Pizza Roller Review

Norpro Deluxe Pastry and Pizza Roller
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you make your own pizza dough this is the roller for you. I actually buy mine from "Fresh and Easy" but it's still the same. I use to use a regular rolling pin but that didn't work out my mom got me this and I've been in love with it ever since. What's so great about it is it's small enough to roll the dough in the pizza pan. With the small rounded end it's easy to get in the corners of the pan and get a ridge on the edges without any effort with the bigger roller it's easy to spread the dough out from the center of the pan. The only thing that you have to watch out for is not to soak it or keep it in water for long, it tends to start discoloring the wood and then start splitting after a while. I season mine with oil every now and then.
I've tried the marble version but the handle was cramped and the wire roller holders were twisted (I twisted them back though). The marble version does have some advantages; it's heavier which makes it easier to roll the dough out, its easier to clean, you can put it in the dishwasher and you can let it soak. If you have smaller hands you might like it more.
The funny thing is is that Amazon keeps changing pictures of this roller from the shorter wooden roller to the longer version I'm reviewing. Get the longer one.

I bought this in November--by December it was already broken and useless. It's not like I was using it in a commercial setting! I made about four pies before the handle began to turn.

Norpro Stainless Steel 15 Inch x 10 Inch Jelly Roll Baking Pan Review

Norpro Stainless Steel 15 Inch x 10 Inch Jelly Roll Baking Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
No jelly rolls as of yet have graced this pan, but if I baked any I am certain they would be well pleased. The fish stick's were quite happy, so I am guessing the jelly rolls would be too.
Heating the pan to nearly 500 degrees (fish sticks like it hot, 475) caused it to warp (momentarily startling my fish sticks), but it does return to its normal shape after removing from this infernal Hades like temperature. Please note that this is a temperature you would never wish to visit upon a non-stick pan. Over 400 degrees and non-stick becomes violently toxic spewing forth lecherous vapors that kill birds, and you know what they say about canaries in coal mines. Always best to stay away from non-stick, but I'm sure that's why your considering the pristine qualities of stainless to begin with. However, the shiny surface is what attracted me (I like shiny things).
As a previous supporter of the noble qualities of this pan commented, GOO gone works admirably at removing the barnacle laden adhesive from the surface (only two small spots on this pan).
I am now secretly abducting all of our rusting and peeling non-stick in favor of Norpro stainless shiny things. Shh, my wife does not know as of yet, but she will thank me. Muwhahahahaha.

Norpro Ceramic Pie Bird Review

Norpro Ceramic Pie Bird
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My mother always used a pie bird in her 2 crust fruit pies. I never really understood then, just thought it was cute. But, after seeing a cook on TV use one and gave the reason why, I tried it. And, oh my goodness did it ever work! If you use it right, you'll have a cooked, crisp bottom crust even with a 2 crust fruit pie. Promise. You just have to make sure you place the pie bird on top of the bottom crust BEFORE you place your filling. Pour the filling around the pie bird, and after rolling out your top crust, place a small "X" in the middle of the top crust and top your filling (so the "X" goes over the pie bird). Seal the edges and make a couple additional small vents with a knife and bake. Also, use a good glass pie pan!

Click Here to see more reviews about: Norpro Ceramic Pie Bird

Pie funnels are used in baking pies and prevent the pie from boiling over in the oven by allowing the steam created when the fruit filling or other contents are cooking to escape from inside the pie. How to use: Line the pie dish with pastry, place the "bird" in the centre, put in the filling around the "pie bird" then put a pastry top on but allowing the pie bird to stick out of a hole in the pastry . Pinch crust around the bird's shoulder, allowing the head to stick through the pastry. The bird will release steam through his mouth "vent" during baking and help to prevent juices from boiling over in the oven.

I've had this set of cutters for over a year and have used them more times than I can count. I use the largest size to make hamburger buns, the smaller sizes to make bite size cookies. There's sizes perfect for sandwich cookies,sugar cookies and biscuits. You have a choice of scalloped edge or flip it over and use a straight edge. They've easily cut every type dough I've used them on and they come packaged in a clear round container than keeps them all together instead of being scattered in different drawers and cabinets.
