Since my new USB drive is too large to fit on my keychain, it seems that I have a space available for something new. And what I think would best fit that space is this swank touchless infrared thermometer. I haven’t tried it, but I don’t have a surface thermometer yet, and this one looks [...]
I had my first immersion blender years before I needed it. In the right hands, an immersion blender can bring a new dimension to a soup, smooth out a sauce, and generally keep you from having to go through the painstaking and sometimes dangerous task of transferring a hot, sticky liquid to a regular blender [...]
There are challenges with any style of cooking. The challenges of regular cooking, the pots-and-pans, pour-and-stir style of cooking, is mostly one of “volume of material.” There are so many methods, so many different ingredients, and such obscure terminology, that it’s difficult to get going.

There aren’t very many new ways of cooking that have been introduced in the past several hundred years. After the oven, things stagnated until the microwave and eventually the Easy Bake Oven and its related ilk, such as GE’s Advantium. So it’s nice when something kinda different comes along.

I had some friends visiting this past week, and I wanted to cook a nice dinner meal for them. Since I don’t see them often, I figured I’d [...]
I’m toying around with the idea of making a kitchen computer. Why? Well, the obvious first reason is that I’m a geek, so putting a computer in every room of the house is not necessarily an idea I’m opposed to. That’s right, every room.
Still, one normally needs more reason than that, especially if the room [...]

Quoth the seller: “This the king of vacuum coffee brewers. We are one of a handful of coffee sources that offers Cona Vacuum Brewers. These are beautiful, elegant, [...]
When you make tea, the leaves absorb a great deal of water, and some of that is released back into the pot as tea. The water grabs the flavor components off of the tea.
