Emerilware Automatic Bread Maker


325717.jpg

Emeril has come out with a new breadmaker that seems to do it all. The claim to fame of this breadmaker is that it allows you to make baguettes. It also has 14 settings that allow you to make lots of other things, including salt-free and gluten-free breads, pasta, cakes, and jams. It also has a delayed start function, so you can have bread waiting for you when you get home.

A set of small and large plates from Preserve made
from 100% recycled plastic - and yes it's BPA free.

Preserve Tableware is the environment-friendly alternative to disposable tableware. Made from 100% recycled plastic, Preserve plates, tumblers, and cutlery are dishwasher safe, reusable, recyclable in communities that recycle #5 plastic, and BPA free. We are fortunate to live in a community where we can recycle #5 platic, but you don't have to recycle after the first use. You can also hand wash or wash these plates in your dishwasher on a low heat setting. .

Preserve Cutlery comes in a reusable canister containing
eight forks, eight knives and eight spoons.

she can't break it, and it's BPA free.

  • Sturdy design perfect for kids, entertaining and daily use
  • Reuse dozens of times and recycle when you’re finished

The Preserve Plates and Cutlery are a big hit here at Kitchen Contraptions - especially with the younger staff. We recommend these over styrofoam or paper plates any day, and if cared for you can use these all Summer long for all those picnics inside and out.

Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless-Steel lined Lunch Jar - Perfect for Summer Camp


4192+y0cB2L._SL500_AA280_.jpg

With summer camp season up on us, we thought we'd feature one our favorite kitchen contraptions that actually leaves the kitchen - the Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless-Steel lined Lunch Jar. We're not really sure how we ever lived without this very unique and functional lunch box growing up, but at least our kids will never go without. The Lunchbox features a stainless steel construction and vacuum insulation. The best part is you get four microwaveable inner bowls and washable container, and it includes a convenient carry strap for easy transport and a easy to carry bag.

Our young ones at day camp don't microwave anything, but cut up apples and fruit fit easily. You can also expect to fit lunch meats and rice in here too.

CDN 2-IN-1 PROBE THERMOMETER - Grill Meats to Perfection


2p212-big.jpg


One thing we do when grilling is to check the temperature of the meats on the grill. Some people cook with time, and use just their eye, but on larger cuts of meats, and when cooking lots of meat at once - you can end up with underdone chicken or pork loins. We recently got this new CDN 2-IN-1 PROBE THERMOMETER you can use for grilling or in a conventional oven as well. We took it out for a test drive, and the easy to read temperature, along with color coded scale for "doneness" does the trick. The 2-IN-1 Probe Thermometer also rests on it's side easily, allowing you to put it down without fear of it tumbling off it's grill perch.

  • High heat probe
  • Preprogrammed & programmable
  • Dual progress display
  • Target range indication
  • Color-coded scale
  • Pre-alert 10° before target temp
  • Overcooked alert for 10° after target temp

IMG_5937.jpg
We're grilling some pork chops here. The 2-In-1 Thermometer
is easy to hold - and you can see the large display reads easily
from the picture.

We suggest you check it out. The pre-alert and overcooked alert functions were a lifesaver. We often get interrupted to deal with other items or just the kids needing something while grilling.

Bissell 1200B SpotBot - Cleans Messy Carpet Stains Hands-Free


51PZNE3G26L._SL500_AA280_.jpg

We're always trying to keep our kitchen rug (a 6x9 thing of blue beauty) clean and spot free. We spotted the SpotBot due to it's claims of being hands free, and the thought of not bending over and just placing the bot on the spot was more than appealing. The SpotBot has two cleaning modes: hands-free and manual. In hands-free mode, you just fill the SpotBot with water and cleaning fluid, select your stain type, and then walk away. Within seven minutes, its 24-inch circumference cleaning head does everything else for you on the SPOT of your choosing. For larger stains or ones that require some extra elbow grease and time, use the Tough Stain Brush that attaches to the hose.
