Cuisinart Supreme Ice Cream Maker Paddle



Ice cream anytime!
I needed a replacement to keep my Cuisinart going, and this one is perfect! It is identical to the original.

Danby DBC514BLS 5.3 Cu. Ft. Silhouette Beverage Center - Black/Stainless



noisey
This fridge looks great, and it is the right size for under the counter in our kitchen, we bought it to keep all the drinks out of the big fridge.... but man! It drives us crazy constantly turning on and off, literally 10 times a minute. We have tried turning the temp up and keeping it full, but to no avail. It is really noticeable and bothersome in the quiet moments of the morning and evening...just when you want to relax and enjoy your kitchen. It's almost like it's breathing and straining. We are bummed about it.

Perfect wetbar fridge
This is a beautiful bev fridge that looks sleek and modern in our new wetbar. The blue light definitely has the "wow" factor and it does not warm the fridge like a traditional bulb can. The temperature is holding true at 39 degrees (which is the lowest setting since it is really the wine fridge with different shelves). It does exactly as promised and looks amazing doing it.

Failed in less than a year of use
We had the Silhouette less than a year when it started getting loud and would no longer hold it's temperature. We called for warranty service but because it was a new home and it had been in the home 6 months longer, Danby wouldn't cover it. We had the builder's receipt and the house purchase info but they didn't care. I pulled it out of the cabinet just to check that it perhaps didn't have some simple problem like an air obstruction on the fan. It was extremely hot on the outside. No obstruction found. It did however proudly proclaim the city in China where it was manufactured.

Given the reviews here I can't see putting any money into this. I'll think I will look for another manufacturer.

KitchenAid KHM7T 7-Speed Hand Mixer, Empire Red



A great complement to my K45
I have baked for nearly 30 of my 41 years, and I have used a lot of hand mixers. This one by KitchenAid is a great partner to my KitchenAid stand mixer. I have used it for everything from cookie dough, to cream, to mashed (okay, whippped) potatoes. It has never failed me, I find it powerful enough for my purposes, and one thing that has not been mentioned in the other reviews is that this mixer is relatively quiet. Not silent, but quiet.For jobs that are really too small for the K45, this is ideal. Nicely balanced, easy to use. In short, a winner.

Quiet, Powerful, Reliable but slow
I have the 5 speed version of the KA hand mixer (same motor, same speed range, just fewer speed stops and you save up to 30$). It works very well for batters and doughs, without bogging down and without whining.

The only limitation of the KA handhelds is that their maximum speed is on the slow side. Whipped cream and egg whites don't build up as fast or firmly as you sometimes need (it is hard to get firm, dry peaks in egg whites like for meringue).

While I have the 5qt KA stand mixer (and love it!), I was disappointed in the slowness of the hand mixer. Until I got the wire whisk attachment (about 16$ from appliance parts supplier). This made all the difference. I can now whip a half pint of cream and 2 egg whites in under a minute!

Do yourself a favor: save money by buying the 5 speed model and spend only about half of the money you saved on the wire (balloon) whisk attachment. You'll get better performance for less money.

I gave this (and it's twin models) 4 stars...

Another wonderful little powerhouse from KitchenAid
You know there are times when you just don't want to haul out the big mixer, right? Well, being the holiday hostess for my large extended family, my Irish brothers love their mashed potatoes. When I have a holiday dinner and my countertops are loaded with lots of other wonderful holiday dinner foods waiting to be served, hauling out the big mixer is just not an option. Out comes this handy little KitchenAid hand mixer! In a jiffy, this little powerhouse mashes the potatoes and then away it goes so dinner can proceed as needed. It's a really cool tool and I'm glad to have it at times like that. Also, I have pulled it out to mix pancake batter, sometimes cake batter, and other easy to mix items. It's easy to wipe down and the beaters pop right off to go into your dishwasher. Easy clean, easy to use, easy storage -- what more could you want?

Must Have
What a fantastic tool for my Big Green Egg. Did a brisket at 250 and it held it there for 7 hours, no problem! If I had a suggestion, make it water proof.

Great heat control with my BGE.
I have now tackled baby back ribs and pulled pork roast . I was able to sustain low heat for over 12 hours. I put on the food in the morning and went to work. When I got home I was ready for the last stage of cooking. This pulled pork was spectacular.

Best to go direct to BBQ Guru
Go direct to them... Had problems with vendor. Spend less and get all the info you need on how this product works.
The product is great...comes in 4 different colors when you go direct. BBQ guru is happy to walk you through which of their products work best based on grill size and brand. Don't sell yourself short.
