REVIEW – Being empty nesters has greatly reduced the size of our meals. Firing up our big conventional oven seems like a waste of electricity, which of course means money. Since using the Midea Flexify French Door Air Fryer Oven for the last month or so, we have not used our big oven one time. […]
REVIEW – We enjoy hosting groups for parties and gatherings at our home. Since we have moved into our new house three years ago, the number of gatherings has increased.

REVIEW – Pressure cookers are not new technology, but it has been interesting to watch how the cooking scene has changed since the Insta-Pot came out.

REVIEW – If you cook on a griddle, then you know that there is nothing better than cast iron for high-temperature cooking. Grilled sandwiches, smash burgers, eggs, and more all call out for cast iron for balanced temperature cooking and simple cleanup. Some cast iron pans are a bit unwieldy to handle as cast iron

REVIEW – Recently my stove top has decided to have an existential crisis. All of a sudden the burner of the stove top has decided to only work on High heat without the inner section ever turning on. The middle back burner can’t decide if it wants to work full blast or not at all.

REVIEW – If there’s one thing that goes along with summer, it’s grilling outside. But what if you want to grill on the go—at a park, a beach, or while tailgating? You want to cook for a short period, but you don’t want to have to wait around all day for the grill to heat
REVIEW – We have a chef’s store near us, one of those places that caters to restaurants but allows anyone to shop. It’s a fabulous place to pick up some large cuts of meat, and my wife recently picked up a pork butt and a pork shoulder. To help her cook the meat to exactly

REVIEW – Here at The Gadgeteer, we’ve reviewed induction cooktops in the past. I reviewed the Sunmaki 316 single-burner cooktop and Danny Welsch reviewed a two-burner model from AMZCHEF.

REVIEW – While I continually look for ways to simplify my overlanding gear, I’ve found that a lot of compromises need to be made. With limited space and payload, weight and portability are prime considerations for everything I bring along. Always complicating matters is the unknown quotient of food and cooking supplies.

REVIEW – After years of dealing with soggy hamburgers and hot dogs, I finally decided to upgrade my camping cuisine. Now, when I’m enjoying the great outdoors, dinner is either a nice steak cooked over the campfire or some other simply prepared protein. While this cuts down on the amount of condiments and soggy rolls
