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 ...

Review of JML Food Sealer

Every kitchen should have one.

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Can't hange a lone banana

...be lost without my local Betterware distributor. Although I'm unable to compare them to Kleenze their rivals as I don't have a distributor. If anyone does Kleeneze in the BS13 area please can I have a catologue. Right, back to the review. Having browse through my catalogue I came across this great, yet simple tool for the kitchen, as a mother of a toddler, having fruit around the house is a must. At just £3.99 this is a bargain and you'll wonder ...
...Hook itself is about 12 inches tall. It's Chrome in colour, that is the only colour available through Betterware, I'm sure if you check the online shops you may be able to get more colours and designs, but probably not as cheap. It's simply just a thin chrome rod about half a cm in diameter, there is a deep hook at the top which rounds off at the end into a ball for safety, the middle of the rod curves in and the bottom is just a round ring to support ...

Review of Betterware Chrome Banana Hook

Keep a cracker fresh

Advantages: Ideal for a srandard pack of crackers
Disadvantages: none

...We often get a Betterware catalogue left on the doorstep. I rarely order from them but occasionally look through the pages top see what is available. Earlier this year when I was skimming the pages of loo cleaner and sandwich boxes I noted the cracker keeper. Now this cracker keeper is a white cloudy translucent plastic .like Tupperware container. The shape the same as a Jacobs cream cracker packet but slightly larger it is 21cmx10.5. It has a blue ...
...dry crackers in it will not get really dirty anyway. So a quick rinse will do. So how much does a betterware cracker keeper cost? It costs £3.99 You can buy it from a Betterware distributor or online at http://www.betterware.co.uk/productdetails.aspx?pid=035328&cid=102&language=en-GB Would I recommend ? Yes ...

Review of Betterware Cracker Keeper with Drawer

Catch That Corn!

Advantages: Quick and effective at popping the corn.
Disadvantages: Difficult to catch all the corn.

Several years ago my children were given a children's popcorn maker. It was a dreadful thing and popped about one kernel every 10 minutes and always caused great disappointment. However it led me to discover that my children were perfectly happy eating plain popcorn without salt or sugar so I looked around for a home popcorn maker that would work well enough to at least provide a handful of popcorn before boredom set in! I ended up at Argos as I ...
...longer sell it but I have seen it for sale elsewhere but not in the last few months so it may now only be available as a used item. I really cannot remember what I paid for it but I know I wouldn't have spent too much on this sort of gadget! What does It look like? The popcorn maker is about 12inches high when complete and is presented in a pale turquoise blue and purple colour scheme. It is certainly not the most tasteful of colours and ...

Review of Breville BP03 Popcorn Maker

Tiny and economical way to cook meals for one

Advantages: Much cheaper than a conventional oven to use and the food tastes great
Disadvantages: It takes up space on the worktop

...glass bowl but I called Aspect Two and they sent out a replacement without quibble which arrived a couple of days later. Open the box As you might imagine as soon as it came I was eager to look inside the box. The product was well packed and protected. The first thing I got to was the lid. It was made of glass, about 9 inches in diameter with a large plastic centre piece containing the fan, the element and the controls. This cooker has both ...
...full control when cooking. Next I got to the main bowl. This had an external diameter about 10 inches and a height of 5 inches - the same size as a pyrex 3 litre mixing bowl. It stood on a plastic base with two sturdy handles. The bowl is slightly raised when on the stand to allow air to circulate and to protect your worktops. Inside the glass bowl was the cooking rack and the lid stand. Finally there was the instruction book which was simple and ...
