Appliances

When I was asked to test out the Breville Fast Slow Pro Multicooker I was pretty excited. I love a kitchen appliance that has plenty of options and is easy to use. I’m also always looking for new ways to cook a healthy and quick meal for my boys, and I was hoping this appliance would be the able do it. Read on for my thoughts on the Breville Fast Slow Pro Multicooker.

Pressure cookers used to do one thing and one thing only–cook food under pressure. These days, however, most pressure cookers are multi-function kitchen appliances that allow you to do everything from sauté to stew to steam and, of course, pressure cook. I had never used a pressure cooker before so was excited to exercise my culinary chops by testing the T-Fal 25-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker. Here’s how it fared in my book.  

This past weekend was Easter, and I don’t know about you, but I certainly indulged in my fair share of delicious food. In fact, over three days I partook in two brunches and one breakfast, and they reminded me of how much I love syrup.

I’m always looking for new ways to cook a good meal. It can get a little boring cooking the same meals, the same way, time after time. Today I’m reviewing the SousVide Supreme Water Oven and let me tell you it’s definitely a new and unique way to cook a meal.

With all this stormy B.C. weather we've been getting it has definitely been soup weather, and when it comes to homemade soups, Vitamix has you covered. You can puree your soup and heat it all in one go. Read on to find out all Vitamix can do, and test out a great tomato soup recipe.

Spring is just around the corner and next thing you know, summer will have arrived. When most people think of summer, they picture beaches, patios, and bathing suits, but I love me a good BBQ party. Food just tastes better on a grill. So it’s no surprise that I’m trying to make the experience portable. A portable BBQ will become your new best friend—and help you make lots of others.

If your dishwasher stops working the way it’s supposed to and starts leaving spots and grime behind, it can be really frustrating. The good news is that you may not need to call a repairman. You may be able to fix it yourself with a few tools and these tips.
