Brilliantly reliable food processor

Advantages: Lots of accessories, reliable , long lasting
Disadvantages: Cant take a whole christmas cake

...I used to make my own bread and pasta by hand it was satisfying but hard work . When I got a part time job , I found I just didn't have time to bake anymore. I'd seen a few processors in the Argos catalogue and drooled over them. Then one day I bit the bullet and bought one. It was a revelation , I could whizz up biscuit dough in five minutes , my bread was kneaded in seconds and pasta became a doddle. Best of all was the marmalade , now instead of sticky orange juice everywhere I could peel my oranges by hand , grate the peel with the grater disc and juice the orange flesh with the citrus juicer which caught all those wretched little pips. Bliss. That first processor lasted 10 years. As soon as it died ,I bought another the FP470. This newer model had extras... A liquidiser and A whisk It also had all the attatchments...

Magimix 4200 - food processor

Advantages: Use it for everything in the kitchen
Disadvantages: You need extra space to store blade box

...If you are not versed in the world of food processor's - you are forgiven as not many are. We recently married and decided to replace our old processor with something more up to date and modern looking that would fit into our kitchen. What do you get for your money? The Magimix 4200 comes in a large box with a handle, so easy to carry around if you are shopping (although a bit heavy so buy it at the end of your trip). The product comprises of 2 parts: - the main food processor - a separate plastic storage box for all the components. The magimix has 3 bowls - mini, midi and a main bowl. The mini bowl is a small bowl which can be used for things such as chop garlic, to make a salsa verde or pesto. Equally, it is useful when you are only chopping a small amoutn of food, making less to wash up. The midi bowl is...

Food for thought

Advantages: Compare foods you like to my preferences
Disadvantages: The 'Marmite' will stir up a debate I'm sure, lol

...What! Only 10 foods? Of all the MILLIONS/ BILLIONS of food products out there we can only pick 10? Well, I suppose you'd get bored by my 100th or so one..or tenth... In no particular order; let's begin 1. Fish -Smoked Haddock, Salmon, Cod, sea bass or tuna. Haddock is delcious in a pitta bread with scrambled egg or haselback potatoes. Salmon fillet is divine if you top it with mayo, crushed seasoned cornflakes with garlic and then drizzled with a cheese sauce. Smoked salmon slices mixed into mash with cheese spread! emm. And tuna, mix it with onion and some chutney to get fish fruity. Make your own fish pie or chop it up into an omelete. Fish is sooo nutritional, versatile and delcious. Not a fan of sardines, herring; trout and the lark, or with heads and eyes still on! Prawns - league of there own. Nice just out the pack...

Review of Top 10 Foods

Quick and tasty food

Advantages: Quick cooking times , tasty food, saves energy, convenient
Disadvantages: Needs a better instruction book and a recipe book, no lid holder

...BACKGROUND INFORMATION My mum bought the JML Halogen Oven after our main oven decided to give up the ghost. We'd seen infomercials about the Halogen Oven and it was something we were thinking of getting at some point. I liked the idea of having a counter top oven, and something that would cook food quickly but retained flavour. We did look at a similar product, but it was out of our price range. HOW MY MUM BOUGHT THE PRODUCT IMy mum bought her Halogen Oven over the phone, but you can also order it online from the JML website at www.jmldirect.com, and by Mail Order. The Halogen Oven cost £59.99 and the delivery charge was £4.95. My mum ordered the oven on a Tuesday evening, and the oven was delivered on the Friday. WHO IS JML? JML (or John Mills Ltd) has been trading for around 40 years. The company operates...

Vacuum sealing food the easy way

Advantages: Easy to operate
Disadvantages: It is a bit fiddly

...I love my gadgets and I am a complete sucker for the TV shopping channels 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 of meals for one and often 'batch cook' and weekends and make my own home made ready meals for one which I freeze down this looked like quite a useful machine. One of the problems with shopping for one is that many times I buy fresh meat, bacon or cooked meats and end up having to have the same food over and over to...

An Excellent Cat Food

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: Price

...Orijen cat and Kitten Dry Food: The last time I was browsing round the Zooplus website I noticed some ?Orijen? dry cat food which said it was suitable for adult cats and kittens of all breeds and that is was supposed to be exceptionally good for your cats health. I read a few of the reviews and decided to give Orijen a go. When the food arrived I was amazed by the ingredients, Tifa has never had it so good and is currently eating better than me! As the ingredients are so amazing I am going to include them in my review below. The food consists of 75% premium animal ingredients, (de-boned chicken, chicken meal, turkey meal, northern whitefish, chicken fat, de-boned turkey, salmon meal, salmon and anchovy oils, de-boned salmon, chicken broth and free-range eggs). The chicken and turkey are grain fed and the fish is wild...

Review of HTZ ORIJEN Cat Food

I need food!

Advantages: Healthy eating, healthy happy child.
Disadvantages: Messy?

...Weaning is a very exciting milestone for parents and babies, but some parents find this time to be a little daunting too. Weaning is a gradual process that requires time and patience. The weaning experience is different with every child. It is always a good time to start when you and your baby are in good health, and are feeling relaxed. It is also best to delay the weaning process if your baby is adapting to anything else such as teething. Health experts recommend that you wait until your baby has reached 6 months of age, to prevent your baby from getting allergies, and because a baby's digestive system is not ready until this age. However some parents wean their babies before this age. I think as a parent you know when your baby is ready for food; some babies need extra nourishment when milk alone does not satisfy them so...

A FOOD PROCESSOR THAT REALLY MEANS BUSINESS

Advantages: Great for anyone who's serious about cooking
Disadvantages: Mixing bowls really need washing by hand

...This is a very pretty looking kitchen appliance and once you get over the initial shock of the cost, I'm sure you will be delighted with it. I think you really do "get what you pay for" as they say, the large outlay really seems to be to cover the 3 year guarantee on parts and the 12 year guarantee on the motor. Now that's what I call Customer Service! This food processor is a really heavy duty piece of kitchen equipment and means to tackle even the toughest blending/mixing/kneading jobs. It is very heavy and can only just be lifted off the worktop, using suckered feet to keep it in place when running. It has a great range of clever features including 3 bowls, each with their own blades. Sizes are 3.25L, 2.6L and 1 L (air volume), giving great flexibilty for every task. The processor comes with a lidded box of tools...

Review of Dualit 88610

cool food, but not cheap food

Advantages: Attractive, nice range of recipes
Disadvantages: Many recipes work out pricey

...Cool Food is a very attractive little book, it has a very pretty aqua blue spine, and the front cover has a lovely looking tuna salad on. The book is only small, 18 cm tall by 15 cm wide, but it's a thick book (400 pages in all). I like cooking, and for a while found cook books hard to resist. I fell in love with this book in Sainsburys of all places, but once I got it home the love affair dwindled. The book is divided into Starters Mains Sides Sweets Drinks Index I like the fact that there is quite a large chapter on drinks, very few books are so comprehensive in this respect. The majority of the drinks are non-alcoholic which is great for families with kids, although I'd have quite liked either a section on cocktails as this book has a lot of ideas that are great for entertaining, or suggestions by the drinks of 'you could replace...

Review of Cool Food - Murdoch Books

  Food glorious Food!

Advantages: Reasonably priced foodie magazine with lots of useful recipes
Disadvantages: Don't want to throw them away! Might put on weight if not followed wisely!

...Presents should be something the recipient would like and not just what the sender would like to receive! Although in the case of the present I am going to review it was something both parties enjoyed! My daughter and son-in-law gave me a subscription to BBC Good Food. Now she might have left home, but they do frequently come for dinner and so like to have something different to eat. This was a truly wonderful gift, the results of which have been enjoyed by my family and friends. Good Food magazine gives me lots of ideas as well as providing me with a magazine I can browse through ?to my hearts content?. That expression leads me on to say, that you can look after your heart and cook exciting meals as the recipes are all under descriptive headings! I will tell you more about that later though. +PRICE+ Buying it over...
