Review; Rice Cooker

Rice cookers are so handy! You put them on and then leave them and tadah! Rice! Mine has a cook option and then a keep warm. This is the ratio that i use

  • Long grain white rice - 1¾ cups of water per cup of rice
  • Medium grain white rice - 1½ cups of water per cup of rice
  • Short grain white rice - 1½ cups of water per cup of rice
Brown Rice
The perfect ratio for brown rice is 2¼ cups of water per cup of rice. Brown rice takes longer to cook so this is what i do. I watcht he rice until it boils. Then i turn it off, setting a timer for 30 minutes. When the 30 minutes are up, turn the rice cooker back on cook and then let it do it's thing. Remember to was the brown rice!

Review : Misto Sprayer


Another review here. The picture above are Misto Sprayers. what they are basicly is do it yourself pam oil spray for like cooking or spraying on salads. You put a bit of oil in them, then you pump it up and down to make the pressure go up, then you spray it out on to the desired item, meat, frying pan, salad, popcorn, whatnot.
For us, it doesnt spray like the aerosol cans do but it does help to cut the oil consumption in half when i put seasoning on popcorn. I use to pour the oil over and then add seasoning but i used a lot of oil, so now that i use the spray oil, i cut the oil consumption i guess into more than half.
I would say this gets a four because it doesn't spray like aerosol, meaning taht when i spray the pan, i have to rub it around with a spatula more than i do with the regular store bought spray oil. They do come in different colors and that makes them fun. :)

Review; Ultimate Chopper


A few years ago we got this ultimate chopper as a christmas gift. It has been an amazing tool in the kitchen because when the blender is too big for your item you want chopped, i just stick it in this little guy and whiz it up! It's very nice and i use it to make pesto, grind up stuff for spreads and usually when i talk about blending small quantities of food in my recipes, this is what I'm talking about. :) 
this is not my picture so i give my credits to amazon.com, where i got the picture. Couldn't take one at the moment, not at the place that has it. 
I am going to give this 5 stars because it is super super handy and i really find it very useful. Easy to clean also.
