Vacuum sealing food the easy way Advantages: Easy to operate Disadvantages: It is a bit fiddly ...so when I saw that JML had got their own channel I couldn't resist watching it one wet afternoon recently. They were doing a demonstration of the JML Vacuum Food Sealer and I was intrigued as I sat and watched. Basically it is a very simple machine which will either vacuum seal food into polythene bags or just seal (without vacuum). It looked pretty simple and effective and they were demonstrating a range of uses for it. Given that I cook a lot ... ...arrived the day after. The JML Vacuum Food Sealer isn't exactly cheap at £39.99 but it is quite robust and it is simplicity itself to use. All you do is to plug it into the mains, press two buttons on the top to release the cover and place your polybag with the edges for sealing on the machine. Close the lid, press the appropriate button for either 'seal only' or 'vacuum seal' and the machine does the rest. Once the bag is sealed the light on the ... laramax 03.10.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of JML Food Sealer	Value for Money Quality
A great cheap set of scales (Argos Value Range Mechanical Scale) Advantages: Store away well, incredibly cheap and do the job Disadvantages: Ugly looking ...I had a look at Argos online to see which ones they had available in my local store and I found a set for a massive £3.99, ok so they didn't look that pretty but that didn't bother me as they where going to live in a cupboard until I needed them, so off I popped to pick them up. On opening the box I was quite surprised to see that the scales actually felt a little more substantial than they looked in the picture, I expected them to be made of a cheap ... ...strong. The scales are quite a good size (24cm tall, 14cm deep and 16cm wide, the tray on the top of the scales is also reasonably deep (7cm) so you can get quite a lot in it (1.2 litres), they have a 11lb weighing capacity (I only ever go up to 1lb though) and overall I would say they are quite accurate. These scales also store away well, if you press down the bit that the tray sits on you can slot the scales inside the weighing tray so they are ... soutram 16.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Argos Value Range Mechanical Scale	Value for Money Quality
A great coffee maker for a busy day/schedule Advantages: Large variety of K cups, very convenient and fast Disadvantages: doesn't brew very much per brew, and only 1 temperature setting: VERY HOT I would recommend this product to the everyday average coffee drinker. Its main advantage is that it is a very quick way to make a cup of coffee. It brews a good cup of coffee also. There are a large variety of the K cups that you can purchase, and there are reusable K cups that you can fill with your own grind. You can also purchase cups that brew tea and hot cocoa, unfortunately the cocoa is not very tasty. The main disadvantage of this product ... ...what I would consider a moderate sized coffee cup. When I take a travel cup in the car it takes two large brews with two K cups to fill it. Overall this is a great product, and is a very useful appliance to have around the house, but I wouldn't use it to replace your regular auto drip or percolator. ... halozander6 16.11.2009 · Read full review Review of Keurig B60 Single-Cup Home-Brewing System
Betterware Large Heavy Duty Oven Liner Advantages: kepps oven floor clean Disadvantages: price We regularly have a Betterware booklet posted through our door as we have a sales representative living just round the corner. . I rarely buy from this catalogue, but I was browsing through and saw this oven liner. I had the previous day cleaned my oven, not a job I love. This is what inspired me to buy this large heavy duty oven liner. . You may be a neat cook with never getting any spillages or fat sprays on the oven floor , however I am not ... ...work. I ordered this oven liner from my representative and waited a week for delivery . If you have no local salesperson you can buy online at http://www.betterware.co.uk. Product Code: 039422 . This liner cost me £9.99. This liner is a large liner 50 x 40cm (19 3/4" x 15 3/4") too big for the floor of my oven so I cut it easily with a pair of scissors . The cut of piece that I did not put in my oven may be big enough to line a small cooking ... mumsymary 12.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Betterware Large Heavy Duty Oven Liner	Value for Money Quality
Orange Peelers: A-peeling product Advantages: Simple but effective, very cheap Disadvantages: Small and get lost easily Everyone at work laughs at me when I get my orange peeler out but I think its fantastic. I have to be honest and say that I never eat oranges, but since buying these I have started to have the odd satsuma and that is what I use them for (maybe that's why people are laughing). OK, its pathetic but I really don't like peeling satsumas and it puts me off eating them so when I saw these in Lakeland, 77p for 2 I had to buy them. They are made of green ... ...plastic 'blade' to peel the orange. The arch of plastic between the blade and the ring tapers at the ends so you can use it to dig under the peel and take it off, making it possible to peel an orange (or satsuma) without hardly touching it. These are such a simple concept but absolutely fantastic, another Lakeland classic, the only problem with them is that as they are very small I do keep losing them, but I always find them again and they're so ... masterchef99 12.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Kitchen Craft Orange Peelers	Value for Money Quality
