Cave Tools Cooking Thermometer

 AHHH!!! It has been so crazy in this household lately! August 17th I  start back in college to get my degree. I work part-time at Ross dress for less. My princess and little man have been sick for the past couple weeks and I am way behind in keeping up with the apartment. I am currently taking a break from all the chaos to write this! 

Anyways...

I must apologize for two things. First, at the moment I do not have any action shots of the thermometer. I work part-time evenings and it was by chance that I was at work when my husband tried it out. Second, I am sorry for the short review. Some products speak for themselves and this product is one of them. 

My husband loves to cook and grill. For the longest time, we used a cheap dollar store meat thermometer. When I was given the opportunity from Cave Tools to try their meat thermometer, I jumped on it. My husband was quite pleased to hear about my new test product.   
    
                   


I personally love the design of the thermometer. It is not gigantic, yet the writing on it is big enough for me to read... without my glasses on. 

                 
                    

I like how the thermometer has a Fahrenheit and Celsius option.

 
I work retail and I have noticed a lot of people traveling out of country like to do their shopping here in the US. One person told me they shop here because in their country the prices for everything is at least double, if not triple the prices here. I personally will be using the Fahrenheit option, but the that option is great for those who grew up learning temperatures in Celsius.

I know I do not have any pictures of the thermometer in action. I have a meal in mind right now and I plan on posting pictures very soon! So keep an eye out! Once I get the pictures, I will be posting them here.

Ozeri Savore Soft touch electric pepper mill and grinder

I like having fresh ground pepper on my food. I absolutely love those cool salt grinders. I enjoy changing up how fine or coarsely it is ground with each dish. The one downside to the already filled grinders from the grocery store, is the fact they are one use only. Once they are empty, you cannot really refill them and use the grinder again.

I recently was given the opportunity to try out Ozeri's savore. I apologize ahead of time, I currently do not have any photos of it in use. My daughter has been sick and I have not had much time to do anything. I will be updating this review later with some action shots.





My first reaction to the product, was how compact it is. My second reaction was WOW! it takes six AAA batteries?! Then I took a moment to think, I guess its good for the design of the product. It would be so much bigger if it took AA batteries. 
                             
I like fresh ground pepper on my food, but I am more of a salt person. The nice thing about this product is, you can put salt, pepper, or other spices in it to grind!
                                                

                                               
So far I have been using it for salt and I absolutely love it! Another thing I like, is how easy it is to replace the batteries. When you open the container, like you would to add pepper corns or whatever. There are a couple white tabs on the  underside of the end with the button.
All you have to do is pinch those tabs and the battery area slides right out. 

Lets say you changed your mind on what you are grinding. The area where the salt, pepper, or spices goes is really easy to clean. I use a tiny squirt of soap and a bottle brush, a quick rinse. Easy, Peasy!

I absolutely love this pepper mill/grinder and plan on buying a second one in the future.

Hudson Cast Iron Cleaner


A few years ago I visited my family who live north of us in the Panhandle of Fl. My dad apparently left some stuff there at my grandparents house when he went to law school. Among the items he left were some pots and pans, including two cast iron skillets. Both of those skillets, I claimed for myself. Haha! My dad reluctantly let me take them. I am so used to cleaning pots and pans with soap and water. I kind of feel bad I have been improperly treating these great cast iron skillets. 

top and bottom ones are cast iron



 Recently I was given the opportunity to review Hudson's cast iron cleaner. As you may know, you don't actually "clean" a cast iron skillet. A well maintained cast iron skillet is seasoned. This "cleaner", pretty much looks like a small square of chain mail. 

This allows you to properly clean the skillet and keep it well seasoned. Last week, I tried using this product; but my skillet was just so nasty at that point, I just resorted to using soap. I have been so busy work and getting ready to start the orthotics and prosthetics program at my community college in August, I have not had the time to tinker with this "chain mail" scrubber.

What I can tell you about this product, it is a very good quality product. Once I am able to finally figure out how to properly take care of a cast iron skillet, this product is going to be my best friend when doing dishes.

Ozeri Wine Accessories





I am not much of a wine drinker, but I like to have wine around for when I have guests over. Not too long ago, I tried out Ozeri's electric wine opener and absolutely love it! Recently I was given the opportunity to try their wine accessory kit. 
                                                         

When I took this out of the packaging my husband immediately wanted to know what it was. It is obviously not a bottle of wine, yet it is shaped like a bottle of wine. When he opened it, you could tell he already liked this accessory kit.
                                                                  
                                                           
The kit comes with a cork corkscrew, foil cutter, a wine stopper, a drip stopper, and a wine pourer with a stopper.

I absolutely love this wine kit! Everything in the kit is great quality and works really well. The shape of it is extremely smart! You can put it in a wine rack with your wine bottles. Everything within arms reach, when you need to pop open a bottle of wine!

I am in the process of trying to buy a home. Unfortunately the one our offer was accepted on, fell through and the one we just recently offered on, someone else got.Once we are in a house, we will be getting a wine rack and this accessory set will finally have a "home". For now, I will just enjoy using the kit in my apartment.
