LORI GREINER’S NO MESS COOKING UTENSILS PRODUCT REVIEW

*This post may contain affiliate links. Please refer to my disclosure policy for more information.


 

Lori Greiner’s No Mess Cooking Utensils are stylish, sturdy, durable and perfect for every day use!!

Each set includes four pieces.

The Spatula is wonderful for flipping and turning food.  It’s also great for getting things out of pans (like brownies)!!  The spatula itself is not over wide as some can tend to be, and can withstand temperatures to  400 degrees.

The Ladle Spoon is perfect for soup, stew, chili, gravy or anything “hearty”. 

The Slotted Spoon easily allows liquids to drain through the slots as you remove foods from pans.

The Stirring Spoon is perfect for pretty much everything, and I find myself using it on a daily basis.  The spoon itself is  not too small like some stirring spoons tend to be, making it easy to “taste test” as well as stir!

My favorite thing about these cooking utensils is the way the handle is designed.  It has a unique shape with a little hook type concept built in so you can safely rest your spoon (spatula, etc) on the side of your pot or pan and it rests comfortably on the side and doesn’t “fall in” and get covered with whatever you’re cooking. 

All items have silicone covered handles and they are available in blue, black or red.  They are also dishwasher safe!!  I feel more comfortable using these utensils instead of my other ones when I use things like the crock pot or pressure cooker because of their durability and the fact that they are very well made. 

They are available for purchase on QVC’s website HERE

NESCO 4-IN-1 PRESSURE COOKER PRODUCT REVIEW

*This post may contain affiliate links. Please refer to my disclosure policy for more information.

The NESCO® 4-in-1 Pressure Cooker makes cooking fun and easy!!

I work full time and some days have a two hour drive back and forth to the office!! The last thing I want at the end of the day is something frozen, boxed or prepared for dinner!!  The Nesco 4-in-1 Pressure Cooker makes it super easy to have a yummy, home cooked nutritious dinner every night of the week!!

When I received this to review, I was a bit intimidated.  I remember my mom and her old fashioned pressure cooker 40+ years ago!!  Most of all, I remember how wonderful everything that came out of it tasted, but I also remember her fear of it exploding.  After using this one time, I no longer had that fear!!

The Nesco 4-in-1 Pressure Cooker has some awesome built-in safety features which prohibit it from opening while under pressure. The NESCO® 4 Liter 4-in-1 Pressure Cooker is sealed  so as the pressure inside of it increases, the boiling point of the water increases, which allows the liquid to rise to a higher temperature before boiling so food cooks up to 70% faster.  The inside cooking pot is removable, and it also comes with a removable rack

What really impresses me about this unit is the fact that it is four appliances in one: it’s a pressure cooker, a steamer, a slow cooker and a rice cooker.  It also has a browning setting so you can brown items directly in it beforehand and saving yourself an extra pot to wash!!  I tried this when I made a roast in it.  It was the most tender, juciest, mouth watering piece of meat I ever cooked!! I used the browning feature and browned the meat first, then added seasonings, carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic and water.  Not even an hour later we were sitting down to a delicious home cooked meal!!

Chicken with water and BBQ sauce added broke apart with a fork after 20 minutes in the Nesco 4-in-1 Pressure Cooker!!  Chicken and dumplings in less than 1/2 hour is something my family will eat EVERY night of the week!!

The inside rack is perfect to put the meat on if you’re making something like ribs!!

Parlsey potatoes were a HUGE hit!!

I simply cut up potatoes, added water, butter and parsley and cooked it for seven minutes. At the end of the cycle I vented the pot and we thoroughly enjoyed this tasty dish!! The potatoes were cooked perfectly. There were tender, were easy to “cut” with your fork, and literally melted in my mouth!!

The NESCO® 4-in-1 Pressure Cooker also has a warm setting to keep things just the right temperature until you’re ready to eat.

Functions are preset and programmable for up to an eight hour delay, so dinner can be ready when you get home.

The lid and cooking pot are removable for easy clean-up and the lid is nice and tight  to keep things secure so it’s great if you need to make something to take to a special occasion.

NESCO (National Enameling and Stamping Company) was founded in 1920 so they have a lot of experience and it shows in their product!!

The Nesco 4-in-1 Pressure Cooker is totally fabulous.  On a scale of 0-10 I would have to give it a 10+!!   I think it is a must have for every one who likes delicious homemade meals but doesn’t always have the time it takes to prepare them!!

YOUCOPIA COFFEE STACK REVIEW & GIVEAWAY ~ Ends 4/10/13

*This post may contain affiliate links. Please refer to my disclosure policy for more information.

The Youcopia Coffee Stack is an awesome solution for K-cup organization!!

I used to keep my K-cups in the boxes they came in in the cabinet beneath my Keurig.  It was always a total mess. K-cups would spill out of the boxes. I would “mix boxes together” so you couldn’t just grab one because you never knew what you were getting.

The Youcopia Coffee Stack organizes 40 K-cups and doesn’t take up a lot of space doing so!! It measures 5.3 W x 9.3 H x 10.9 L and fits conveniently inside most cabinets.  It has four drawers that easily slide out. Each drawer holds 10 K-cups.  Alli likes flavored coffee so I keep “her” K-cups in the top drawer.  Tim likes coffee with a kick so he knows to open the second drawer to get this!!  I like breakfast blend or medium blend so each of these get their own drawer and now we ALWAYS KNOW what kind of K-cup we are reaching for with minimal effort.

It is black and silver so it matches most kitchen decor, and is also stackable!!

YouCopia was founded in 2006 by father-daughter duo Mark and Lauren Greenwood. Mark, an inventor with 30+ years experience. Youcopia also makes a variety of spice stacks, bake stacks, etc.  More information about these products is available on Youcopia’s “Our Story” page on their website.

I didn’t realize at first, but as time would tell it also makes an AWESOME kitten toy  ~  LOL.   Maxx likes to hide on the other side of the cabinet door when I am in the cabinet. He bats the k-cups with his paw from underneath and pops them out.  In fact, it has become one of his favorite daytime activities!!  I am glad the Youcopia Coffee Stacker has nonskid feet or I might have K-cups everywhere!!

It is  available for purchase at fine retailers and can also be ordered directly from Amazon!!

Only the first option is a mandatory entry ~ The rest are optional for extra entries into the giveaway!!
