REVIEW – After years of dealing with soggy hamburgers and hot dogs, I finally decided to upgrade my camping cuisine.

REVIEW – I’m not a good cook, so I have to approach the kitchen like a chemistry experiment- following directions, taking measurements.

REVIEW – I’ve used an air fryer for several years and appreciate its utility, speed, and convenience. I use it far more than my oven, it doesn’t turn my kitchen into a sauna in the summer months, and reducing the amount of oil I consume is a healthy bonus. HYSapientia’s Air Fryer Oven has impressive
REVIEW – This past summer, my wife and I made a big push towards creating our piece of paradise in our backyard. While it is still a work in progress, I was able to build her planter boxes, the custom arbor that she wanted, install a gazebo, add a mixture of hardscape by mixing pea

REVIEW – Summer is officially here in South Texas, and for me and my family, that means BBQ! I am not talking about tossing some hamburgers on the grill or loading up your kettle grill with charcoal and grilling up a steak. I am talking about hours of slow-cooking a big chunk of meat into
REVIEW – I’ve had the chance to review a couple of folding knives from Vosteed and have been impressed so when they offered me the chance to review their new Vosteed Minibarbar cleaver, I couldn’t say no.

REVIEW – A few years ago, a friend gave me a FoodSaver vacuum sealer she never used. I barely knew what one was, but accepted it anyway because it is a . . . gadget. I am glad I did. If you aren’t familiar with what a sealer can do, it literally sucks the air

REVIEW – When it comes to serious blending of ingredients in our kitchen, there’s no doubt that our Blendtec blender is the tool of choice. There’s no blending task that it can’t handle. Some recipes, however, don’t really require that kind of power, and it would be handy to have a smaller, hand blender available.

REVIEW – I’m a pretty good cook but I always use a thermometer to roast meat. Life is way too short to eat overdone meat or to spend a few days wishing for death because the meat was undercooked. When I saw the Siyoteam wireless meat thermometer I had to try it! A leave-in wireless
