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
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.

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 ...

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.

A Volume and Weight Scale — Deserted Island Kitchen # 8
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 ...
