Makes it easy to carry your tumbler. – K3 Brands’ 30 Ounce Yeti Tumbler Handle.

My mom and I use our 30oz Yeti Tumblers every day. She had a handle like this for her Tervis, so she was so happy to see this handle for the Yeti. This handle is from K3Brands on Amazon. It is made to fit the 30oz Yeti Tumbler, and their competitors as well. It fits like a glove too. Just slide you cup into it, and it holds on perfectly. It doesn’t slide down at all when you place your cup down on the table. It does make it easier to grab and go. You can actually carry more things since you have a firmer hold on your cup. It may sound weird, lol, but it’s true. The handle is made out of a thick, black plastic. This plastic is a “Food Grade Polypropylene”. The handle does not bend on you at all. It is a very sturdy, and reliable handle which is a great relief. I know I do not want to spill my icy drink all over me. I always have a glass full of ice, and a nice cool beverage. My mom always has her large ice coffee with her. We discovered that this handle does add a little weight to the lot, but not enough to make it too cumbersome; even for an older person like my mom. She even has some arthritis in her hands. The handle does make it easier to carry. The handle does not bend under the weight. It’s just very reliable and sturdy. It’s really easy to keep clean as well. The material doesn’t show fingerprints. It seems to always look nice and clean. I am very happy to see that it is just as useful as I hoped it would be.

Solid kitchen tools. – Secutta Direct’s Cooking Utensils Set-Stainless Steel Kitchen Tools.

I do a lot of cooking. Most everything from scratch due to severe food allergies, too. I am very picky about my cooking utensils because of this. I really can’t tolerate inferior utensils, and either donate them or throw them away. This set from Secutta Direct is absolutely fantastic. It is a heavy duty set, and I love them. You get 6 utensils in this set and they are: one spatula, one soup ladle, one skimmer, one meat fork, one slotted turner, and one egg beater/whisk. These are made out of a thick stainless steel and have hard wooden handles on them. The stainless goes into the handle, and the wood is riveted to it. Then, each handle has a stainless steel piece riveted into the top of the handles, with a whole, so they can be hung up. They are all also far from small in stature. For example, the soup ladle is 13 ½” long, and it is one of the shorter ones. Men will not feel like they are holding tiny utensils when cooking with these. My husband loves them, especially the whisk. He has been wanting a more durable whisk, and that is what he has with this one. The slotted spatula has a serrated side to it. It is a smooth serration though, but you can cut into a sausage, or the like with it, while cooking. I love the solid spatula. It is large and in charge. The sides are raised a little, so if you are trying to reach into the oven to turn something over, your item won’t just slide off. I hate when that happens. I also really love the very large skimmer, which I call the slotted spoon, lol. It’s great for veggies, potatoes, frying food. It’s the best utensil for all of these. I have never had one this size or shape, and it’s perfect. Stainless is such a perfect material for the kitchen environment as well. It doesn’t naturally harbor bacteria, mold, or fungus. It’s so, so easy to clean. I hand wash everything, but these can go in the dishwasher. Always make sure the area where the wood and stainless meet, has been cleaned thoroughly, though. All of my rivets were done nice and tight except for my spatula. It has a tiny bit of play in it, and I mean tiny. It does not affect the usage at all, thank goodness. I really like the shape of it. I would have to say, that that is the only negative I could find in my set of utensils. They are definitely a welcomed addition to my family, and will get a lot of use.

An easy way to organize. – No. 1 Services’ Marvel O Bug Set of 6 Foldable Cloth Storage Cube Basket Bins.

We like using pop up bins like this. They are lightweight, and an easy and affordable way to organize our items. They last a lot longer than I initially thought they would. I’ve personally ordered bins like this online before, and they were thin, flimsy, and cheap. I haven’t ordered bins online since then. So, when I was afforded the opportunity to review them, I was a bit hesitant and a bit curious, lol. Fortunately, the 6 bins in this set are wonderful. They are the thickness I prefer, and are quite sturdy for a collapsible fabric bin. These bins are made out of a nonwoven polypropylene and cardboard. There is one handle sewn onto the front side of each of these. Handle is too strong of a word, because you can lift or carry it by the handle. It is great to grasp and pull it toward you, if it was further back on a shelf. You want to support the bin from the underside when you lift it up. These measure 11” tall and they are 10.5” square in shape. They are made the usual way. You open the bin, and then push the fabric coated cardboard to the bottom, to support it. Mine arrived all in perfect condition. They were all clean. No snags, tears, or stains on them anywhere. They did not have any weird odor to them at all. At my local store, I pay $6.oo per bin of this quality. This set is currently priced at 16.99. Of course, that can change at any time. But, wow, that is an unbelievable price. The types of items I store in my bins are supplements, toys, and more toys, lol. Magazines, papers, review items, and more toys. They are great to place in the trunk to organize your small roadside items. You can pop one in your car during your trip to carry snacks, and papers in. My mom likes to do that. I love being able to store them flat when they are not needed. We have gone to using bins like this as our Easter baskets every year. Then they can store their new toys in the bin, or whatever else they need. If you do not like to use a dresser in your room, you can store socks in one, undershirts in one, underwear in one, and bras in another. These are so useful, and the quality is perfect. I am very comfortable recommending this product.

Another great tumbler. – Simple Modern Vacuum Insulated 30oz Stainless Steel Tumbler.

Let me tell you, we had been converted Tervis people. Then, my son moved us over to the Yeti stainless cups. We have officially been converted over to the Yeti side, lol. I have tried other competitor brands, but this is my first 30oz competitor cup. I use my 30oz Yeti every day! I just love it. So, I was very, very curious and excited about testing out this competitor. I love the challenge. This mug looks just like my Yeti. It has a smaller bottom area, so it can fit in my car cup holder. I will not use a cup, if it doesn’t fit in my car. My throat swells shut all of the time due to numerous life threatening allergies. My throat is always swollen and sore. I always have a cup fully of an icy drink to sip on, 24/7. My throat wakes me up during the night, and I sip on the icy drink. It really helps. So, it is very important to me that my cup can keep my drink cold for an extended period of time. I did an ice test on this cup first thing. I filled it to the top with ice, and then placed the top on. The top has silicone rings around it, and it creates a great seal. Mind you, there is a drinking hole in the lid. You can fit a narrow straw through this. I have thin stainless steel straws that we use with these cups. After 25 hours, there was actually still some ice left in the cup. It performs as well as my Yeti, which makes me very happy!!!! It even comes in 8 different color choices, for no additional cost. It is made out of 18/8 stainless steel, and has the double wall construction. It is toxin free, chemical free, and safe to drink both hot and cold liquids out of it. My husband took his coffee to work with him. He had a 3 hour drive to the office, too. He is very happy with how this cup is performing with hot liquids. The double wall construction is great. I wouldn’t have it any other way. The cup never sweats. It is comfortable to both hold and drink out of this cup. You can put steamy hot coffee right from the Kuerig in here, and not feel the heat through the cup. We haven’t been able to find any negatives with this cup. It has held its own against our Yeti. Enjoy.

(The 2nd picture here is after 12 hours of being in the cup.)

Two guys that will actually help you cook! – Fivebop’s Lid Lifter.

OMG! These little guys are too cute. The icing on the cake is: They actually work!!!!!! I make my own sauce a lot, and it always splatters everywhere. Even when I have the heat setting on 2. I have a very large and heavy, cast iron pot, that I mainly use. These guys held up the heavy lid like it was nothing, and kept my sauce from splattering everywhere. They let the air circulate, while still letting the ingredients you are cooking, to continue cooking, without lowering the temp. It’s more efficient this way, and I do not have to babysit the pot, and constantly stir it. It frees me up to be able to do the other cooking I need to do. These two pot lid holders look like two little guys. Honestly, I really can’t get over how cute they are, lol. You place them on each side of your pot, and then place your lid down on them. If you have a small lid, you can just use one. They are made out of thick and sturdy silicone. They are so durable. It doesn’t matter if you drop them, throw them, step on them, and let your kid play with them. They will remain in the same condition. All you’ll need to do is wash them. They are even dishwasher safe. These two pot lid holders are made out of non-toxic silicone. Silicone has great heat tolerance. Just don’t let them get close to open flames. I use a lot of silicone in the kitchen in regards to utensils and cookware. It cleans so easily, as food really doesn’t stick to it, and the durability is awesome. You can even use one of these as an impromptu cell phone holder. My phone case isn’t slippery itself, so I can lean my huge Note 5 in an Otterbox case, against the little man, and it holds it up for me, horizontally. It’s just another great use for these. I do not have any chopsticks, but they mention in their ad, that these can be used tableside to hold your chopsticks. That would be really fun to do. I might have to break down and order my husband the light saber chopsticks now, lol. It doesn’t hurt to want whimsical items in the kitchen, when they actually help and make your job easier. It makes a chore not feel like a chore. These are a great quality and highly useful item. My mom has already told me she wants a pair as a gift, and I can’t blame her for that. I think every kitchen needs a set.

The perfect pans! – Green Earth Frying Pan 3-Piece Set by Ozeri.

I love, love, love Ozeri pans. I use them all of the time. They are dependable, cook evenly, and are easy to clean. They are thick, and durable, and a joy to cook on. This set of 3 Ozeri pans really gives you all the sizes a family will need. In this set you will get 1 – 8” pan, 1 – 10” pan, and 1 – 12” pan. They are fairly deep too. Not shallow like the usual pans on the market. The coating on these pans is pretty awesome, if you ask me. They all have a honeycomb pattern and texture to it, and are coated with a ceramic non-stick coating. This coating is quite impressive. It is a green product too. The coating is 100% PTFE, PFOA and APEO free. Which means it is heavy metal and chemical free!!!!! I love that. I have an insane amount of life threatening allergies, mainly related to food, and all of the preservatives and chemicals used in the industry. I have no issues with these pans whatsoever. This set even comes with thick felt pads to line the pans, so you can stack them together for easy storage, and not have to worry about damaging the coating. These pans are also aluminum pans. You can cook anything in these pans. I have cooked homemade spaghetti sauce in the large one, browned roasts, cooked different kinds of meats, made grilled cheese, pancakes, hot dogs, eggs, and omelets, and more in these pans. All without issue. My spaghetti sauce didn’t even splatter which really surprised me. It normally splatters in the other pots I make it in. These pots are really easy to clean as well. Wash it like any other nonstick surface, with a non-abrasive cleaner. Just make sure you use a degreaser soap to make sure the surface was really cleaned of grease residue. A build up will eliminate the most wanted, nonstick qualities. I personally, have never had this issue, and I just use Dawn dish soap. The handle is thick, and very durable. It is also well attached to the pan. You will not get any bending with these handles. They are each attached by two heavy duty rivets. (that’s what they look like to me.) The handles are silicone coated, afford a great grip, and don’t get hot to the touch. And, if you are lucky enough to have an induction stove, you are in luck. These pans even work with an induction cook top. They have a magnetized induction stove safe base for rapid heat transfer. I have a travel, single burner, induction cook top, and I can use these on it! For those of you that want lids, they do sell the separately. I rarely want a lid for my pans, so I haven’t ordered one yet. They are glass lids though, and also sold on Amazon. I can tell you from my personal experience over the past year that I have owned Ozeri pans. The green ceramic nonstick coating they use is more durable and more scratch resistant that regular nonstick pans. They truly cook evenly, and do a great job on my food. I have nothing but love for this product, and truly recommend them.

Double sided, and perfect. – The Checkered Chef’s Cutting Board.

We do a lot of cooking, and mostly from scratch, in our home. With cooking comes a lot of chopping, and cutting. We have several cutting boards in our home. They really are an indispensable product to have. In my home we use them to serve with, do crafts on, cut and chop food on, and more, lol. It is a great multi-use product to have, and that is why we have multiple. This particular from The Checkered Chef on Amazon, is really nice. It has moved up on my go to list for sure. I love the dual sides, and the non-slip edges, a lot! You know you are way too much of an adult, when you get excited about a cutting board, lol. The size is also great. It measures out at 14” long and 10” wide. You can actually prepare food for a family on here. You can cut your roast, chop a ton of veggies or fruit, and serve up a lot of cheese as well. If you are klutzy like me, you will also appreciate its durability. This cutting board is made out of polypropylene. It is thick enough so you won’t have to worry about warping. It does not leave gouges easily with regular chopping and cutting. I love how it’s double sided. One side is smooth and flat, while the other side has a trough around the perimeter, to catch the juices from you produce and meats. That really makes a difference, and so much less mess. My favorite part of this cutting board is the non-slip feet on it. It really does stay put. That really falls into the klutzy category, lol. If there’s a way to send something flying, I can do it. Fortunately, the corners are wrapped in the non-slip material, so it stays put on either side. I hand wash everything, but this baby is dishwasher safe. It’s a rugged, great all around cutting board. I couldn’t find anything negative about it.

Fresh coffee when you want it. – YINGMO’s French Press 3 Cup 12oz Coffee, Espresso & Tea Maker.

I am pretty fond of the French Press. They really do enable you to have fresh brewed coffee, and so quickly too. This particular one from Yingmo is a great personal French Press. If you are single, or are the only one that really drinks coffee, this is great for you. My guys work on the road a lot, and a French press can be carried with you. You just need a microwave or hot pot, to heat up your water. This particular press is a 12oz press. It’s great for a single person that enjoys a large cup of coffee. Everyone in my household sure does. This unit is made out of 18/8 Stainless Steel, Plastic, and Borosilicate glass. This is the type of glass used for beakers, and much more. It can tolerate high temperatures, and is more durable than regular glass. The plastic parts enable you to hold it with such hot water in it. The stainless will not rust on you, and is so durable and long lasting. It will not leach chemicals into your yummy coffee either. Either will the Borosilicate glass. First, pour your coffee grounds into the French Press. Then, pour in your hot, steamy water. Let it sit for approx.. 4 minutes, and then, slowly press the plunger down. Do it very slowly, and it compresses your grounds down to the bottom of the French Press. You want to make sure you use course grounds. This will eliminate little grounds in your coffee. When you pour your coffee, make sure you leave the plunger compresses. You leave it compressed the entire time there’s coffee in it. You can brew your tea in here as well; just compress your tea leaves. Any specialty drink really. This is a great way to carry your pot outside on the porch with you, to be able to enjoy a fresh refill at your table. You can sit outside and chat with a friend, and not have to leave the table to refresh your yummy cup of hot tea or coffee. It’s small and so portable for travel too. Since it’s not a plugged in appliance, you can use it at your desk at work, or in a hotel room. It’s so easy to clean as well. I hand wash everything, but it is dishwasher safe! This is a great single serving press. It has not let our grounds into our coffee. If you do a specialty, strong coffee, or tea, you can fill a few shot style glasses with this press. Once you use a French Press, you’ll love it. We certainly do.

Dress up time for your baked goods. – LiStyle’s Cupcake Wrappers.

I love to bake. I find it very relaxing, and fun. These cupcake wrappers really bring baking up to the next level. These are literally clothing for your baked goods, lol. You do not actually bake with them, but you wrap them around your baked goods after you are done baking them. They are open, and are just wraps. These are not cups. They wrap and close with a tab. You get 100 of them in your package. They are made out of pearlescent art paper, in a filigree cut out design. They are quite gorgeous in person. The cut outs are such a fine detailing. It’s impressive what can be done with paper. The bottom diameter is 2.05 inches (5.2cm), and the top diameter is 3.19 inches. They are also 2.17 inches (5.5cm) tall. So, the perfect size for everyday cupcakes and muffins. These are great for parties, brunches, birthdays, get-togethers, anniversaries, weddings, showers, and more. They are even fun to dress up you every day muffin to make yourself feel special. I made a batch of chocolate chip muffins to test these out, and they really did dress them up! I wrapped them around the paper liner cup. If you choose a darker liner cup, that pretty color will shine through, adding to the design. This is really a no brainer way to dress up your baked goods for special occasions. I didn’t realize how easy it was.

Performs like my Yeti! – Kryogear’s KRYO KUP – 20oz Tumbler Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Mug.

I am a big fan of these new double walled stainless steel cups. We have the name brand one, Yeti, already. I was excited to compare the two. I like a challenge. This particular cup is by Kryogear on Amazon, and it is the 20oz version. They have the name Kryo nicely etched on the side of the cup. That is literally the only difference between the Kryo cup and the Yeti cup. My cup came with 1 lid and 1 stainless steel straw. It is supposed to come with two lids, but that was of no concern to me, so I never said anything. If that happens to you, you can request the 2^nd lid. This cup is made out of 18/8 stainless steel. It is thick and durable. I love stainless. It doesn’t naturally harbor fungus, bacteria, or mold. The lid has a great seal on it and works perfectly. I placed ice in the cup, and after 12 hours of sitting in my living room/kitchen combo space, it had melted approx.. only a 1/6^th of the way. I was very impressed indeed. It matches up to the Yeti perfectly. This cup is comfortable to hold when it’s full of ice. Since it is made with a double wall of stainless, hot drinks stay hot longer as well, and is just as comfortable to hold. We love using our cups like this one. I always keep a drink on hand with a ton of ice, even when I go out. I suffer from frequent anaphylactic reactions, and my throat is always sore and swollen. I have to have an icy drink with me. I can rely on this cup to even stay icy throughout the night! I can’t express how important this is to me. I love how they include the straw with the cup. It’s great for those who don’t have a supply on hand already. I love using our stainless straws. Yet again, no chemical worries. With this set up there will be no chemicals leaching into your drinks. This company even offers a lifetime guarantee! I am very comfortable recommending this product. It’s pretty top notch!
