ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE thermometer review

ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE5

REVIEW – The ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE is a food thermometer and whether you’re a multi-Michelin star chef or a weekend grillmaster, food safety is paramount. I’ve been married to “Public Health” for the better part of a decade and I’m pretty sure the safe temperature for chicken was in our wedding vows ( 165 degrees Fahrenheit

Lander Traveler 35L Backpack review – Perfect for one bag travel adventures

LanderTraveler35Lbackpack 01

REVIEW – I’ll be honest up front here.  I’d been eyeing Lander’s packs since I missed being a backer on their successfully funded Kickstarter campaign back in 2018.  Their packs just had a great look and appeared to be loaded with solid functionality.  I couldn’t accept Julie’s offer to review a Lander pack fast enough.

kingpadm10 29

REVIEW – I’ve been using tablets for a decade now, starting with the Motorola Xoom in 2011 (oof!), and continuing with a bevy of iPad and Android tablets through the years.

OKMO G1000 1

REVIEW – Our power doesn’t go out very often here, but when it does, it’s very inconvenient because my wife and I both work from home. When the OKMO 1000W Portable Power Station review offer came along, I jumped at the chance to have a little backup power. What is it? The OKMO 1000W Portable

ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10 cooking thermometer review

ChefsTemp 15

REVIEW:  What does the ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10 do that other instant-read thermometers don’t do? There is something, and it’s pretty cool.
