Fox Run Heat Diffuser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using my diffuser for about 10 years now. Sure enough, when you first fire up the heat, there is some smoke. It'll pass quickly enough if you actually use it the first time. On the other hand, if you fire it up, panic when you see the smoke and shut it off, then it will do the same the second time... and so on. The odor (after the smoke era) is subtle but you're aware of it. I found after about 4 years the wooden handle got loose due to the wood gradually turning to charcoal. But it doesn't come off.
Now after all that being said; it works perfectly! I've been very happy with the performance of this diffuser. It allows for mild heating of the most delicate sauces without fear of scorching. And, as it has a handle, you can move it easily as well as perform the TIP below.
Considering the pricepoint, it is quite the deal.
TIP: When using this to continue heating something at a very low simmer, preheat it by firing up one side first, then flip it over and lower the heat. It will save the 'catch-up' time to keep the simmer.

When cooking a delicate sauce, or melting chocolate, it's important to use low, gentle heat. This diffuser adds a layer of protection between the burner and the bottom of the pan, yet its perforations allow heat to get through. Protect your beautiful pots and pans with this heat diffuser.

Proctor Silex 33015 1-1/2-Quart Round Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a quality product, perfect for cooking for 1-3 people (smaller families, college students, etc.). I highly recommend it. It is so easy to use and fuss-free. Also, most smaller crock pots have only one setting, but this one has three (high, low, and keep warm). It has a nice glass lid and a removable ceramic crock, both of which you can clean in the dishwasher. I use mine at least a few times a week, and I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

Enjoy healthy, home-cooked meals even with a busy schedule thanks to this easy-to-use round-shaped slow cooker. With its 1-1/2-quart capacity, the unit works great for cooking up small batches of soup, casseroles, warm dips, sauces, and more. Simply add ingredients to its stoneware crock, insert the crock into the cooker, and turn the temperature-control dial from off to keep warm, low, or high. Equipped with a tall, cool-touch knob, the slow cooker's clear tempered-glass lid traps in heat and moisture and allows for checking on food at a glance. Even more, the removable crock doubles as a serving dish and can go straight from the table to the refrigerator to store leftovers with quick convenience. Integrated handles on the crock make it easy to lift and carry, even when wearing oven mitts, while stay-cool side handles on the cooker ensure safe, comfortable transport from home to picnics or potlucks and back again. The slow cooker measures approximately 8 by 8 by 9 inches, and the removable crock and glass lid clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.

Proctor Silex 33116 1.5 Quart Oval Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this cooker after buying the Hamilton Beach stow and go slow cooker - 5 quart. I returned the 5 quart because I really didn't like the meals that it produced and it was way too big. I bought this tiny cooker in all honesty to make my irish oatmeal. Which I might add it does beautifully.
I do a lot of Indian cooking...on a whim I decided to split my rogan josh recipe and put 1/2 in the cooker and 1/2 on the stovetop. I must tell you that my husband and I were blown away by the cooker's results. The flavors permeated the meat and the texture was spot on. This is an amazing little appliance. I've had it for about a year and only used it for Oatmeal up until this past Sunday. I can tell you its sturdy, reliable and perfect for singles and couples.
