“ We're very serious about our coffee; not only do we have an uber-esoteric espresso machine and grinder, we roast our own and completely lack any sense of humor. For the past year we've been drinking nothing but espresso, but this Christmas added a a vacuum siphon and a French press to create a stable of coffee makers. However, the espresso grinder -- a La Cimbali Max...” --boar_d_laze
“ It's a Bodum French press, like any other Bodum French press but better looking. Bodum makes very good French press brewers, none better. I had an Eileen when they first came out, but retired it a long time ago after damaging it slightly and never getting around to repairing. Somehow it disappeared through no fault -- I'm told -- of my wife's. I found...” --boar_d_laze

“ I recently acquired a Max Burton 6500 induction unit. I'd been wanting some extra burner space and was also interested in induction. Cook's Illustrated had given the Max Burton 6000 their top scores. The 6000 is an 1800 watt unit intended for home use. It has good marks at Amazon, but seems a bit prone to breakage in shipping. There is also a 6200 that is the same as the...” --phatch
“ While shopping for a replacement toaster oven that would be easy to clean (i.e., a removable crumb tray) I spotted the Breville BOV800XL and was amazed by all the convenient features. Basically, this is the Cadillac of convection ovens. The first feature that had me at hello was a crumb tray that simply slides out the front, without opening the door. Nothing could be simpler or...” --tecolote
“ I've owned a food saver Pro II for years and until recently have swore by the bags for use with the machine. The bags have been provided a variety of uses. From sauces not only in the form of left-overs from a meal but in larger production day's to make things for future use but also to Cryovac meats adding more "age" to them, . I can remember when I first started purchasing the bags. They...” --oldschool1982
“ Recently ChefTalk attended the National Restaurant Show in Chicago and had a chance to meet up with Revolutionary Cooling Systems, maker of the “Cooper Cooler.” While we have seen numerous beverage chillers come to market in recent years, what we really liked about the Cooper Cooler is its versatility. After a month of testing we found the Cooper Cooler to be one of the fastest and most...” --Nicko
“Made by: Nesco Donated by: Everythingkitchens.com Retail Price: $158.95 In the last few years there has been a resurgence of interest in home preservation. While this is not a necessity, due to modern packaging techniques, modern transportation and the advent of refrigeration, many people are drawn to these old techniques. For some it is a way to preserve the harvest of their own gardens,...” --Pete
