Revere 2 Quart Stick Handle Steamer

Revere 2 Quart Stick Handle Steamer




A hard working kitchen needs an array of hard working pots and pans if it’s to be expected to produce good food in quantity. This steamer allows you to preserve nutrients, colors, textures, and flavors as you cook veggies, poultry, and seafood. This method requires no added fat, making it an especially suitable way to cook for good health.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars works great!
Works great. Steams vegetables awesome. Handle stays cool and it carries easily with only one hand. Allowing the other hand to carry the bottom half.

5 Stars One of my favorite pieces in the kitchen !!!
I absolutely LOVE the way this steamer makes veggies just perfect!! No more messing with the collapsible inserts….. Whatever you’re steaming never sits in water.

Mine came as a set with the 2qt pot…. but if you already have the 2qt pot, that lid will fit the steamer insert just fine.

I highly recommend!!!

1 Star I can’t believe a lid wasn’t included with this pot
II guess the joke was on me. I assumed that a lid would be included, but I guess that cost extra, or has to be purchased separately. I returned the item, because I didn’t own any lids that fit this particular pot. And I wasn’t about to go treasure hunting in my city to obtain one. Next time I’ll be sure a lid is included before I buy.

5 Stars Great Little Steamer Basket
This was actually the second Revereware Steamer basket I have purchased. This basket fits several types of Revereware cookware. I much prefer stovetop steaming and it is just the right size for 2 people. Great Amazon price.

5 Stars It is nice~
It fits my sauce pot very well and does a good job.:)

Brown Unbleached Finum Tea Filters 100 Large Unbleached Make Your Own Tea Bags




“Make your own tea bags “. They make using your favorite loose tea a breeze! These natural filters are unbleached and do not effect the taste of the tea. Easy to fill and disposable and biogradable when finished. Keep them both for yourself or share with a friend.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Perfect for loose tea and coffee
These filter bags are great for home and travel for when you don’t want to use or carry a permanent filter.

For travel, when space, weight and convenience is at a premium:

I carry a small stack of these in the smaller individual size to make my own tea and coffee (French press style: coarse ground, 2 tablespoons per cup) when traveling. When done, I can dispose of these in the green bins for organic waste.

For home:

I use these for spices and herbs that tend to leave an aftertaste on my permanent mesh filters or for herbs that tend to distintergrate into a mess. I also use them to make my coffee/tea in my mug to go when rushing out the door in the morning.

These are convenient, lightweight and environmentally friendly (non-bleached) and come in a variety of sizes. Highly reccomended.

5 Stars These make all the difference for enjoying loose tea
When I first started using loose leaf tea, I tried all the little gadgets available before finding these little bags. I tried a tea ball, a wire mesh filter, just plopping the leaves in the water… everything I tried ended up making a mess and leaving bits of leaves in my tea. While I do want more fiber in my diet, this was not what I had in mind! These sacks are perfect — they allow room for the tea to properly brew within the bag, but don’t let any pieces escape. Depending on the size you can either do 1 or 2 cups or a large pot. The best part? When the tea is brewed to your satisfaction, just give the sack a squeeze and toss it! Easy to use, no mess and great tasting tea. The best of both worlds!

5 Stars Excellent Tea Filter!
Although I have not used the large size, I do use the Extra Slim size (not offered at Amazon- bummer!) and I do plan on buying some large size for making larger pots of tea. These filters are inexpensive and NO floaty bits left behind to pick out of your tea. I love mixing loose teas to make my own blend. These allow me to do just that. And like other reviewers said – loose leaf tea beats the powdery overpriced bland prepackage stuff by a mile in quality AND cost. Even figuring in the cost of the tea bag. Enjoy!

5 Stars Large & Flawless
Using loose tea is the cheapest and highest quality way to brew tea! These bags are easy to use and large so you don’t have to use multiple bags for a whole kettle full of tea. Perhaps best of all, they produce a good taste and they’re cheap!

5 Stars Enjoy your cuppa without the hassles!
My favourite way to brew tea. I love loose tea, but hate using loose tea holders and strainers. Somehow the tea bits get through, or it’s in the dishwasher when I want to make tea. This allows you to enjoy incredible loose tea varietals without dealing with the straining. Believe it or not, those fancy loose teas are a lot cheaper than bagged varieties. Ounce per ounce, loose teas are a greater value and by large, have a much better taste. Finum tea filters help you enjoy your cuppa without the hassles!

Bodum Shin Bistro 5 Ounce Milk Frother

by Kitchen Utensils on July 2, 2009

Bodum Shin Bistro 5 Ounce Milk Frother




The Bodum Shin Bistro Milk Frother features a 0.15-liter (5 oz.) glass carafe and a cork coaster. The lid and frother mechanism are made of stainless steel.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Finally…..harder-to-break glass!
I have owned at least 5 Bodum frothers and given several as gifts. Even though I have a steam frother on my expresso machine, the Bodum frother requires less milk product, takes less time, and is easier to clean up. Unfortunately, the glass portion has always been made of very thin glass that is easily broken or cracked. Well…Bodum finally made one with thicker glass that I am hoping lasts longer. Sad to say, though, that the metal screen that creates the froth doesn’t seem to create the nice, small frothy bubbles as well…

5 Stars It works!
I owned a larger milk frother from Bodum, but the glass got broken and I couldn’t find the same model in the US, but even though this one is small, it works great and froths the milk producing perfect cream.

I had own Nespresso frother, which I had to return it. It worked for 3 days! And also the Bialetti frother, which doesn’t work as good as the Bodum.

5 Stars THE PERFECT FROTH…with a caveat or two
Ok. I’m not really driven to spend time writing product reviews, but this frother has changed my coffee habit into a daily joyous occasion. Bottom line is this Bodum frother makes the best froth you could ever hope for. But there’s a little bit of history.

I bought my first Bodum frother from a catalog. The top seal broke within a week rendering the frother unusable. I sent it back to the catalog company. Got a replacement, no problem. No hassle. Now it took an accident for me to blunder into the best way to make frother. Use 2% milk. Fill to line (or half way to line for one cup) and pump for 15 or 20 seconds while still cold. Then microwave for 30 seconds. Voila! Best froth ever. Better than all the cappuccino makers, electric frothers, pumps, hand held spinners, I’ve tried them all.

One last caveat. Don’t get too attached to the glass beaker. I’ve broken three of them. They are very fragile and no doubt you too will break it after a few weeks or months of use. But not to fear. What you are paying for, and it is well worth the price, is the frother pump. Simply find a cheap mug that will fit the pump and you are good to go. While using it the office, I found out that one of those cheap, standard small-sized promotional mugs fits the frother and makes one perfect cup using the method above.

Your friends and family WILL be amazed. If everyone had one of these Bodum forther pumps Starbucks traffic would dwindle. For the price of the frother pump, I made the most amazing Mocha Latte with Carmel topping you could imagine. Beve Tutti!

5 Stars Best frother I’ve used so far.
If you are looking to make really full & creamy froth, this is it, look no further!

I have a BonJour Primo Latte Frother & Capresso 121.01 Ultima & Saeco Super Automatic one, nothing compares with this simple design. It’s so easy to use, you wonder why can’t these $500 machines can’t make the same froth as this $20 manual gadget.

BonJour Primo Latte Frother – It’s nice & easy to use, but the froth dissappears after a few minutes, and doesn’t have as much volume or as smooth as this Bodum.

Espresso machines with steam, the problem is it’s #1 – hard to clean / set up, #2 – it heats up the milk so it’s never possible to have cold froth. And because it heats the milk to a boil, sometimes the milk boils before there’s enough froth.

Resolution – Bodum Shin Bistro. This gadget is so easy to use, just pour milk, pump, and enjoy. cleaning is basically just run it thru water right after use, can’t get any easier. If you let it sit there after use and the milk dries, then it might be more difficult to clean. As far as the glass being fragile, I’ve had no problems so far. It’s glass, you can easily see it’s glass, so use common sense and be reasonablly gentle with it and it’ll be perfectly fine.

5 Stars Great for the price!
This product works great if you want a quick, inexpensive way to froth milk to add to coffee or even hot chocolate. I’d love to have a $$$ espresso machine with a steamer but I don’t drink coffee so much that I can justify that expense. This is easy & cheap, no batteries to replace, and only takes about 30 seconds to use. I’ve tried heating the milk before and after frothihng (I use 1 or 2% lowfat milk). The milk seems to froth better cold; however, heating it in the microwave for 30-45 seconds often causes the frothed milk to bubble over. The glass jar is very thin and fragile and I actually just broke mine by knocking it over in the sink – no fault of the product, just me being careless. I found a beer glass of my husband’s that fits the plunger perfectly, so I’m still good to go.

Cuisinart PRC 12 Classic 12 Cup Stainless Steel Percolator




Stainless Steel / Stay Cool Bottom rests safely on virtually any surface / No Drip Spout /Ready Light Indicator

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Lasted 14 months…
Loved and highly recommended it for over a year but five days ago it stopped perking coffee too soon. Perking time is so much shorter it gets my attention. Coffee looks like weak tea. I pulled out the apparatus, poured the liquid into large tea glasses so it could all cool down, reassembled it (with the same grounds), and it produced drinkable coffee but I don’t have time for that! Holding Temp is so low every cup poured has to go to the microwave for 15 secs. I’m not playing the repair-center-every-14-months game and my dripmaker is coming back into use today. I hate that because it takes up twice the room and this was so elegant and nostalgic it made me happy. I expected it to last 14 years, not 14 months.

1 Star Stopped working 2 months after purchase
The coffee maker worked for a full 2 months, and that just ceased working! We’re not even sure it’s worth returning, repairing, and going through the trouble of purchasing coffee-to-go in the meantime. I will rethink purchasing electronics online in the future because there’s no one to go to when the product fails.

5 Stars Cuisinart PRC-12 Cup Percolator
I love this coffee pot. You can leave it on all day and the coffee stays hot and fresh tasting. I love the smell and sound of the perking early in the morning. I decided to get it because my mother had a percolator when I was growing up. My reason for picking out this particular coffee pot was that it holds twelve cups and it has the see through knob. My husband and I are glad we bought it.

5 Stars coffee
purchased a few weeks ago.

so far so good.

makes good brew.

5 Stars The best coffee ever…give up your drip coffee maker!
I love my new percolator by Cuisinart. It takes such a small amount of space on my new kitchen counter. The coffee takes like the real thing! My last drip coffee maker was a Bunn which I have used for years. My only regret is that I didn’t buy this sooner. It takes approximately 7 minutes to make 12 cups of coffee. Listening to it perk always reminds me of having coffee with my parents when they were still here. The price on Amazon.com was great with great delivery as expected. I was so pleased I bought a Cuisinart toaster, too!
