A Grilling Alternative — BIC FlameDisk

by Tazim Damji

BIC FlameDisk makes outdoor grilling convenient and portable, as I came to know using the products. Each single use FlameDisk comes ready to use in the box. My family enjoys grilling at public parks, but the clean-up is frustrating. On top of that—who wants to grill when someone else's charcoal is in the BBQ? With FlameDisk, set-up is easy. Summer is just starting, and I have plans to do quite a bit of grilling in the next few months. I am really looking forward to grilling corn, ...

How to Keep your Knives Sharp with Chefs Choice Professional Sharpening Station 130

by Tazim Damji

chefs choice professional sharpening station

I am sharing my tips on keeping your kitchen knives sharp thanks to Chef's Choice. If there is anything that makes me appreciate having sharp knives to use in the kitchen more than anything else, it's using my mom's dull knives. Her knives are consistently dull, making it difficult to cut through food properly. Add to that, the fact that she always uses the wrong types of knives for jobs, and it makes me want to gift her with a Professional Sharpening Station, like the Chef's Choice Model ...

Celebrating Spring with Sodastream

by Tazim Damji

celebrating spring with sodstream

Backyard BBQs, picnics, weekends spent at the beach, birthday parties and get-togethers — just a few things that I'm looking forward to, now that it's officially spring! Any good gathering of people has to have food and drinks. I think that's just a given. With spring here and summer not far off, I know I'll be entertaining guests more often — mostly outdoors or at the beach/park. Usually, I would be needing to run to the grocery store to pick up several litres of soda, in different flavours — ...

For instance, want to go for a kitchen-products theme? You can get several different components that are Valentine's Day-y, that work well together. Check out my recommendations below. ...

Hen House Linens' napkins are both practical (so much more environmentally friendly than paper towels) and beautiful. It's so easy to change the look to suit the theme of a party or other summer get-together, with different coloured and patterned napkins. The pretty light blue and white ones I received from Hen ...

A Volume and Weight Scale — Deserted Island Kitchen # 8

by Greg

Escali Amana Scale

  At home we have nice thick metal measuring cups and spoons galore—they rattle around in our cupboards and drawers like a pocket-ful of change. But, just like all those pennies that you can never seem to spend, we hardly ever use them. Instead, we measure by weight: it makes it easy to double, halve, and quickly throw together, recipes from around the world. We couldn't live without our kitchen scale, which lives on our counter with an index card full of conversion factors taped to the ...

Rubbermaid Glass Containers Review

by Greg

rubbermaid glass

Tazim and I made the switch to glass containers in the late nineties, and haven't looked back, even aside from health concerns. we'll accept the occasional broken container in exchange for the impermeability of glass—glass containers don't tend to discolour or absorb odours, which make them winners in our book! ...
