Make Your Cheese Last Longer with the FoodSaver FreshSaver

April 9, 2010 - Written by Diana

Cheese is a great snack, a good hors d’oeuvre for Easter or other family gatherings (like Mother’s Day), but you end up with partially eaten cheeses sitting around in the fridge going moldy.  I hate moldy cheese, but I love cheese.  The FoodSaver Freshsaver is a hand held, rechargeable vacuum seal device that will keep your cheese from getting moldy.  I swear, it’s wonderful for my cheese.  About the size of the palm of your hand, it stores in one of your kitchen drawers easily when not in use. I’ve had mine about 6 months and I love it.

Lots of fresh cheeses mmmm.

All you do is position the device over the seal and suction out the air until there isn’t any more air to suck out.  It doesn’t work well on wet foods, so jello would not work, however, you can …

Summertime Gadgets – Fun and Functional

July 9, 2009 - Written by Diana

I have a few gadgets that are maybe a little seasonal in nature, and somewhat fun, but very functional at the same time.  Functional is very important to me.  I don’t want something hanging around that I’m not going to use, but if it makes my life easier, I definitely want it. Here are a few things I’ve added to my kitchen that I think you might enjoy too.

Cherry Chomper Cherry Chomper – This cherry pitter by Talisman Designs, is cute and does exactly what it should do.  You put a cherry in it’s mouth push down on the head, and the pit is swallowed up, while the cherry is there pitless, waiting for you.  My daughter had absconded with the Cherry Chomper and I made her dig it back out and give it back because I am not messing my teeth up on cherry pits.  It captures all the pits in the bottom container, so you can throw them into the compost bucket without any rolling away, plus catches the juice too. …

Aroma Rice Cooker and Some of My Dinner Making Gadgets

May 17, 2009 - Written by Diana

Things have been really hectic here.  After the Biggest Loser/ Jennie-O contest, things seem to go weird – I lost some posts and it turned out to be something wrong with the automatic tweet feature.  Then we have had track meets, to keep us really busy (my son’s relay team set the 4 X 400 meet record time for the SVC) and out of the kitchen.  Today’s dinner was a very gadget oriented meal.  I have some gadgets I’m enjoying using and they did make dinner easier for me – thank you gadgets.  Besides being gadget oriented, it was delicious and pretty darn nutritious and probably low fat (but I can’t guarantee that).

I made the rice with a rice cooker – following the directions correctly and it came out perfect.  I grilled the tuna on my grill pan on the stove (less calories that way?), I made some honey mustard vinaigrette with a Black and Decker Gizmo and spinned the water out of my chard with the Spin and Stor.
