Country Living Hand Grain Mill Review

Country Living Hand Grain Mill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The country living grain mill is simply the best.It's solidly built to last a lifetime and easy to use.You really can't appreciate this mill until you try a cheaper one.It seems a little pricy, but you get what you pay for.If you are serious about grinding your own wheat (beans, corn etc) don't waste your time and money on anything less.You will either be discouraged and quit or you will eventually upgrade to a nicer mill like this one.

I bought mine about a year ago because I made the mistake of grinding my own wheat to make bread.I had a cheaper (but still quite serviceable) millHand Grain Mill for beer making.The difference in flavor and texture of fresh ground wheat flour is profound.It hooked me immediately and I have never gone back.The trouble is, grinding wheat flour by hand can be a soul destroying task.My next purchase was an electric mill.BlendTec Kitchen Mill - Grain and Flour Mill.It worked as advertised, but it was LOUD and cleanup was a real chore.

I finally broke down and bought the country living mill and motorized it using a belt drive and electric motor.It works perfectly fine without the motor, but I am very lazy.If you want to hand crank it, an extension bar for the hand crank is a nice addition that will make the job almost effortless.

This is a genuine flour mill that produces excellent fine flour in a single pass...or you can open it up to make a courser meal or a cracked grain.It works with any non-oily seeds and would probably serve for oil seeds if you were patient and cleaned the working parts frequently.It has very large steel plates that make short work of turning wheat into flour.You have to try it to really feel the difference, but I love mine and would buy another if mine were lost.

I highly recommend this product whether you want to run it by hand, by bicycle or by motor.As far as I am concerned, it's the best hand mill available anywhere.

Oster 10-Speed Blender - White Review

Oster 10-Speed Blender - White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This blender does crush ice and makes my smoothies with ease (the recipe's in my book, Feeding the Kids!). I have even ground coffee with the blender a few times. Its motor is holding up well after around 2 years of heavy usage and washings in the dishwasher.

The other review mentioned leaking. The blender only leaks when you put the rubber gasket on below the blade attachment. It's an easy mistake to make--and an easy mistake to correct. There is a note engraved on the blade attachment showing just where to put the gasket, but it's not very noticeable unless you look for it.

My main complaint is that the lid of the blender is very poorly made and warped in the dishwasher. Also, the middle part of the lid fell into the blender and was pureed into my soup while I was blending it. That's a major design flaw. The lid is the main reason I give this product 3 stars.

Update: It finally died after about 4 years of fairly heavy usage. The motor still works, but the stem that spins snapped off. I did have to replace the rubber gasket, blades, lid and glass jar (my fault, I dropped it) over the years--but still, an OK blender for the price.

KitchenAid Artisan Stainless Steel Bowl 5 Qt. Review

KitchenAid Artisan Stainless Steel Bowl 5 Qt.
Average Reviews:

I ordered a back-up bowl for my mixer for "just in case" or those times I was doing lots of baking and didn't want to wash the bowl every time I needed to prepare something different.I could simply change bowls.Although this product arrived in a very timely manner and was marked as being for Kitcheaid 5-quart tip mixer, the company has apparently changed the size of the base where it screws in.This one was about 1/4" smaller in diameter than my original, so this was unusable for me and it had to be returned.

If you're making a recipe that calls for separate mixing in two bowls, you'll find that having a spare makes life oh so much easier. Definitely worth the investment!

Never thought we would spend this kind of money for a mixer/blender! But we did and love it!! Use it everyday for smoothies, salad dressings, frozen desserts etc etc. It is a workhorse and works as advertised. Saves a lot of time. We grate parmesan cheese and its perfect every time. Margaritas, fresh peanut butter..I could go on and on or maybe I have. Haha. Anyway, if in your budget, buy it.

LEM 575 - Watt Meat Grinder Review

LEM 575 - Watt Meat Grinder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this appliance after to replace the Deni 3500 meat grinder I bought from here. Despite the glowing reviews, the Deni 3500 came with grinding plates/blade that were coated in some kind of industrial grease (smelled like WD40) that would not come off and discolored when I tried to wash it in hot water and soap. (not in dishwasher as instructed)
I received this product yesterday and there is a stark difference in the steel that is used to make the grinding plates/blades on this meat grinder. Everything is stainless steel and none of the WD40 smelling stuff! This meat grinder is definitely underrated and I feel that everyone should know that this should definitely be an option if you are looking for a home use meat grinder.
I briefly spoke to their customer service representative and she was very knowledgeable on meat grinders and you could tell that this is a company that specializes in these products. And of course works very well. Enjoy!
