This plate can take the heat

Advantages: can withstand heat up to 300 c
Disadvantages: none

...I have 2 Pyrex reheat plates I do used them often. These plates are a clear toughened glass they are 25cm radius. About the same as most dinner plates. So why do I use these and what for? Well I use them in the microwave and in the oven as they are made of borosilicate glass and can be heated up to 300c without breaking. I use these plates as a splatter guard in the microwave when I am cooking in a pot without a lid. I also use them in the microwave as a plate if I wish to cook /reheat something. I have sometimes put a complete dinner on it frozen it and put it in the microwave to heat up useful I did a couple of plates like this after I had come out of hospital. I do not think these glass plates very attractive so do not use them often for eating my meal from. If I had one I could wash these plates in the dishwasher and as I...

Review of Pyrex Multipurpose Reheat Plate

Reheated Soup leaves a bad taste in the Mouth

Advantages: A little bit of Housemartins
Disadvantages: Regurgitated Beautiful South

...When my wife was struggling with ideas as to what to get me for Christmas, I was aware of this compilation fron The Housemartins & Beautiful South, and suggested she get it for me. However, I hadn't looked closely at the tracks on the CD, which if I had done probably wouldn't have asked for it. The main reason for this is that the majority of the Beautiful South Tracks on this album were included on their own greatest hits release (Beautiful South - Bronze) which I already own. So pretty much all I have gained from this is seven tracks from The Housemartins. So in reality it is pretty much condensed soup from The Housemartins, and reheated soup from The Beautiful South. ~~~~ Track Listing ~~~~ Housemartins 1. Flag Day Unmistakeable Paul Heaton vocals but rather sombre number. 2. Happy Hour Undoubtedly...

Review of Soup (The Best Of) - Beautiful South/The Housemartins

Easy to use and clean and cooks decent meals. Ticks the boxes.

Advantages: Easy, clean, simple to use and well built.
Disadvantages: Not big enough to feed a large number of people.

...Now being a person that is always on the move often the hassle of a conventional oven is not attractive and in the same stroke the quality of microwave food is not that appealing so when this latest cooking gadget came on the market it naturally caught my attention. Now straight to the important stuff: It does what it claims to: I have had this item for a couple of months now and have had no problems whatsoever. I have grilled, roasted, baked, reheated and defrosted with perfectly fine results on numerous occasions. The instruction manual is easy to follow and accurate. It is built sturdily. My favourite attributes of this item: The ease of cleaning which is far easier than a conventional oven, you just fill it up with water squirt in some washing up liquid and set to wash or just do what I do most of the time and wash...

Best buy for weaning

Advantages: You can do everything in one.
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...Fab product. I bought this when my daughter was 5 months old. I was determined that I was going to cook all her food myself rather than buy prepackaged baby food. This product makes it so easy. I make in bulk and then freeze the food. You can then take the food out of the freezer and thaw it out in the Babycook. It takes about 15 mins to steam vegetables and 10 mins for fruit. The food can then be pureed straight away and transferred to the freezer. When you want to reheat the food you add water to the Babycook, then add you food in an appropriate container and it takes about 7 mins to reheat. I have had other baby blenders with my other children but nothing beats this one. Best investment for weaning that I can recommend. You won't be disappointed. I have even used it to steam vegetables for myself....

Review of Beaba Beaba Babycook

A healthy chip buttie?

Advantages: lovely healthy crispy chips
Disadvantages: expensive

..., and of course there's no oil to filter after frying. The truth I have seen this demonstrated on shopping channels and was really tempted to get one as we love chips. We use the deep fat fryer occasionally but I hate cleaning it and have read various reports about how dangerous it is to reheat oil a number of times. We do eat oven chips but I find them a little dry and feel they are edible rather than enjoyable. The only thing putting me off was the price. £150.00. I saw a forum thread last week saying that the actifry was on offer at Amazon for a short while at £99.99 and the comments attached from owners claimed that it was a wonder, especially those on weightwatchers and that the chips were as good as deep fried ones so I bit the bullet and ordered one. It arrived within a few days and I was immediately down to the local shops to buy...

Review of Tefal FZ 7000 Actifry

A Matter of Loaf and Tefal

Advantages: stylish design and easy to use.
Disadvantages: the chrome top darkens after a while.

...Avanti Toaster 1. High-speed function. Compared to ordinary toasters you can complete toasting at a shorter time. 2. Two Slots. Needless to say you can toast two slices bread at a go. 3. Two levers. The left lever starts the toaster. The right one is the hi-lift lever. It is designed for removing smaller-sized bread or rolls after the toasting cycle is completed. Mind you once the hi-lift lever is pushed down it will not resume its original position unless you start the next toasting cycle or lift it up manually. 4. Three buttons. The biggest one is the stop button in the centre of the operation panel. You can press it at any time to stop the toasting cycle. Toasting chamber automatically lifts toast and lever. The reheat button is the smaller one to the left and above the stop button. You use it when you want to reheat...

Review of Tefal Avanti Two Slot Toaster

Tagliatelle Alfredo~Pasta, Cheese, Bacon

Advantages: Delicious, very very quick and easy.
Disadvantages: Can be expensive, high in calories, not suitable for reheating.

...on a medium heat. Throw in a few handfulls of freshly grated parmesan (or any other hard fat cheese). Stir until just heated through. The consistency should be very creamy and wet. Serve on plates/dishes with a genourous serving of freshly ground black pepper. TIPS ~~~~ Pour over a little olive oil onto pasta while in collander, to stop pasta from sticking together. Buy pasta with highest egg content for more flavour, this is the more yellow looking pasta. Turn this dish into Carbonara by stirring in egg yolks just before serving. (Not suitable for elderly or pregnant women) Add some finely chopped spring onion to garnish for flavour, texture and colour. Do not over heat, or this dish will become extremely dry. Although this dish is not suitable for reheating, it can be reheated, it just may become a little dry...

Review of Recipes for Main Courses

The premier container.

Advantages: Seals tight to stop food or liquids running out.
Disadvantages: You will find they are little more expensive.

...is also not so tight that she will struggle to take the lid off herself, another vital point when there are around fifty other children trying to get the dinner ladies attention! There are few limitations on this product, it is dishwasher safe and microwave safe, though it does state that if you wish to keep the original colour of the tub, it is best not to re-heat anything that contains a high amount of fat, sugar or colour. It is always recommended that you remove the lid before microwaving anything and to never try to re-heat anything in the oven, still in the tub?.pretty much self explanatory really! The tubs are also suitable for use in the fridge, freezer and also have lids produced in such a way that when staked on top of each other, they fit perfectly together thus reducing down the space needed in your cupboards. There...

Review of Addis Seal Tight Tub

Daewoo KOR6Q8GSL, unexciting but reliable

Advantages: hardworking
Disadvantages: can't think of any

...We have had our Deawoo KOR6Q8GSL for approximately two years. We initally choose it because we wanted one that had touch control, that was at least 800 watts, higher wattage means more power so less cooking time. This model had both of those, the price was reasonable and we also liked the design. There are three buttons on the outside Reheat, Stop / Clear and Start / Speed Cook , all the other touch controls are on the inside and can only be seen when you open the door. I think this gives the Daewoo KOR6Q8GSL a very sleek and stylish look with no nooks and crannies to trap the dirt. I have found it quite easy and simple to use. The touch controls inside are quite self-explanatory. There are five auto-cook functions 1. Bread 2. Soup 3. Jacket potato 4. Fresh vegtables 5. Frozen vegtables. Three auto defrosts one...
