Read First Before Buy Munchkin Fresh Feeding Starter Set

I was looking for a baby food mill for my youngest grandson (having used one for my kids and my older grandkids) so I was thrilled to be offered this set to review.
The Munchkin Fresh Feeding Starter set is a great idea! It consists of 3 items:

1. The Munchkin Baby Food Grinder - I LOVE this thing and have loved it since I purchased my first one 31 years ago! BTW, it never broke, it was merely outgrown. Yes, I have a high end food processor, and a blender, both would mush up food. But, neither of which will fit in a diaper bag! And that is where this grinder comes into it's own. We use it all the time in restaurants. It's also a blessing when visiting, as baby food can be made from the same meal the others are sharing. I find it easy to use, a snap to clean, and very effective in use. No plug in or batteries required! BONUS!

2. The Fresh Food Freezer Trays - These are basically ice cube trays with covers. They are designed to freeze, then store the prepared food. Instead , I find they are useful to freeze the food, but then pop them out and store in a freezer bag. That allows the trays to be put right back into service, important to us, as we grow much of our own food and process large quantities at a time.

3. The 2-in-1 Chopper/Steamer - The chopper is very similar to a TV product where you open a lid, place food inside, and when the lid is closed, the food is pushed through blades into a container below. This particular one has only one blade that cuts into square shapes. You remove the cutter portion of the set, replace it with the steamer lid, and microwave. The result is then the perfect finger foods for older babies, or they could be put though the grinder for the youngest eaters.

Overall, if fresh, homemade, wholesome baby food is your goal, this kit has it all.

Dangy-dang!

Read First Before Buy Cuisinart CSB 76BC SmartStick 200 Watt Immersion

I got this stick blender because I have a 4 year old smoothie addict and I got tired of cleaning out the big blender a couple of times a day. This thing is great - it makes a perfect smoothie in no time. It's plenty powerful and handles any fruits (even apples) with ease. I haven't used it for sauces and soups as the other reviewers do because I don't know how to make any, but it makes a killer smoothie. The bottom part (the business end) is all stainless steel and detaches easily for cleaning. I don't do this. I just run it in a cup of warm, sudsy water without detaching. The handle is plastic (I wish it had been metal) but it has a nice ergonomic shape and the power button is well placed. One caution: this is not for kids to use! Unlike those hand held beverage "whippers" that look similar, the blades on this thing are wicked SHARP! Really! Also, read the instructions before you use it. Be sure NOT to turn it on until the blades are well submerged into the food or you'll be cleaning food off the ceiling the rest of the day. (Ask me how I know!)

Great spatula

Read First Before Buy Rubbermaid Commercial Products FG1964000000 Scraper

I've used Le Creuset spatulas for years, but after a few of mine succumbed to various disasters I decided to follow Cook's Illustrated's recommendation and try out the Rubbermaid spatulas. This size is equivalent to the Le Creuset medium size and is great for everyday use. It's the size I reach for 9 times out of 10, only occasionally do I need the larger size (Le Creuset Super or Rubbermaid 13 1/2).

These are stiffer than the Le Creuset spatulas. I haven't decided yet if that's good or bad, I suppose it is both. I've had times where it was good and times where it wasn't.

The plastic handle isn't as pretty as the Le Creuset, but it is a heck of a lot more practical. It won't split or warp or break like my Le Creusets have done. And it is sealed to the blade, so no need to pull them apart for cleaning and drying like the Le Creusets.

As Cooks Illustrated pointed out, the flatter blade on the Rubbermaids is nice, makes it easier to clean it off on the edge of a bowl. The Le Creusets have a more pronounced bump along the center of the blade that leads to a bunch of extra swiping to get most of the food off the blade.

All in all a great spatula and in a drawer with one of these and three or four Le Creusets I'll reach for this one every time.

Read First Before Buy BlenderBottle SportMixer White 0 35 Pound

I've waited for this day for about 40 years, so this review may be just a little biased...

Just received this today. I was a little worried about the picture quality when the AIP opening began playing. Although the quality of the US opening didn't look too good, the actual episodes look better than I've ever seen them (much better than when I watched them on our black and white TV back in the 70s). It's not state of the art high-definition, but it looks great, maybe even better than Star Trek The Original Series - The Complete First Season that was released before it was remastered.

Any fan of kaiju such as The Godzilla Collection and Ultraman: The Complete Series should love this series. It is my favorite of all the ones I've seen--partly because of how much I wanted my own Giant Robot as a kid, but also because of how the series develops the relationships of the characters and resolves the battle between Unicorn and the Gargoyle Gang.

This is THE OFFICIAL RELEASE produced from the original prints and is the best quality ever to hit the US--not to mention it's legitimate. Unfortunately there are no special features, but the set does come with a terrific 24-page booklet with some information even long-time fans like me never knew.

Note: for some reason fans of Giant Robo - Economy Pack do not seem to enjoy this series. If you fall into this category, you may not appreciate this the way those of us who consider this a cult classic do.

HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION TO ALL LIVE-ACTION, FOAM-RUBBER-SUIT-WEARING KAIJU FANS.

Excellent product

Best Review on Single Sundesa Blender Bottle Colors

I've been using this to mix up various Cytomax protein products, and it works great. If you've been mixing using a glass and spoon, you'll be amazed at how improved your supplement is after a shake in this bottle, no more poorly-mixed, grainy mud.

Update: I've now been using this bottle regularly for about a year and a half. It still works great. Seals well, cleans easily.

Tips:
1) Put about 1/2 inch of water in before adding your powder. This will help prevent bits of dried powder from accumulating along the bottom edge, where it's hard for the mixer ball to reach.

2) Rinse it out as soon as you're done with it. As long as I rinse it out (a couple swirls, then fill it half way, close it, shake it, and rinse it again) immediately after use, it doesn't seem to require any more significant cleaning. If I forget about it and it dries up overnight, then I have to break out the scrub brush.

Best Review on Hamilton Beach 51102 Single Serve Blender

We've had this for about a month now. It has already saved me so much money from Jamba Juice visits, and the smoothies taste just as good. I bought a super package of disposable straws and my kids are nuts about drinking the smoothies. I figured out that it's important to put liquids in the bottom, below the frozen fruit, otherwise it gets stuck. Also, since it's small, I shake it sometimes during blending. The key is to put enough liquid in there - always more than I think I'm going to need. The best drinks I made - plain yogurt, water, frozen mango and pineaple chunks, and bananas. Or, crushed ice, creamer, equal or splenda, and coffee are like a low calorie frappucino - love it. I buy big bags of frozen fruit at Costco - they have berries, mango, pineapple, everything. Even if it just lasts me 1 or 2 years, it's a huge savings over my Jamba Juice addiction!!
