Zester

The Chef Proven Lemon Grater is definitely a handy tool in the kitchen! Don't be like me, I was definitely doing it old school, by trying to get zest from a blender!

The lemon zester can do, what took me over an hour in just seconds! It's so easy to use, you just need a good firm steady hand, back and forth. It's so easy, especially for those who suffer from arthritis and other health problems in their hands, this doesn't hurt or take much pressure.

The Chef Proven Lemon Grater, comes with a protective slip cover, that pops on and off. This will keep the blades from getting dull and scraching other utensils, as I have mine stored in the drawer with all of my cooking utensils. The handle is very strong with an ergonomic design so that your your able to get the best grip.

The blades are very sharp, which gives you fast results. It's also dishwasher safe! The protective cover, I normally just rinse out, if needed.

Another great feature is the protective lips on the end of the zester/grater. It protects my drawers from getting scratched if it slides, plus I can safely rest the lips on a kettle or plate, without those squeaky scratching sounds. It's so much easier to rest the Zester, but you can use it in mid air too if needed.

The great part about the Chef Proven Lemon Grater, is that it is backed with a 100% Lifetime Money Back guarantee! So if something ever happens then you can always get your money back. If your in the market, then I highly recommend the Chef Proven Lemon Grater, it's definitely built to last and gets the job do e so fast.

AYL USB CABLE

Hi Alll!!!

This is one of the few products that's actually better than the original Apple product. When AYL says "Premium Quality", they are not joking.

My husband owns an iPhone 5s and he is extremely picky when it comes to the accessories he's willing to use (whether it's a charger or just a protective case). Yes, he is not an easy guy to please, but ever since we got the AYL Apple Certified MFI Lightning to USB Cable for testing, he's been constantly raving about it. That being said, his old iPhone charger is now abandoned and forgotten in the box with old cables and chargers, and he is using the AYL cable exclusively.

The AYL cable is really well built. It charges and syncs just as well as the standard Apple cable. The quality is amazing; it's thicker and much longer than the original one (about double the length of the standard Apple cable), which, by extension, makes it wrinkle resistant. The handle you use to connect the cable to the phone is also much thicker and provides a better grip.

We have used other AYL products and they're all very high quality. The AYL Apple Certified MFI Lightning to USB Cable is no exception. It's sturdy, good-looking and reliable. A great accessory to own, even if just as a backup to the original cable.

Liztech Bluetooth Speaker

Heyy Everyone!!!

Here's a summary of what I liked about the Liztek PSS-100 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker with Built in Speakerphone:
- Super easy to pair. No codes needed. :)
- Love the look of this speaker. It is a bit heavy (not suggested to carry it around for a long time) but I love the features of this speaker.
- The buttons include a play/pause button, Forward, backward, Siri function and volume control buttons.
- It delivers great sound quality!
- Love that it has up to 8 hours of battery life.
- There's an included in-line audio jack cord to plug it in the pc/laptop. Play buttons wouldn't work though if plugged in the PC/Laptop.
- I can answer phone calls using this speaker since it has a built-in microphone.
- I can charge it through the USB cable included. Just plug it in my laptop/PC and it'll charge for about 3 hours.
- I can see the battery life in my device next to the bluetooth icon (upper right).
- The Siri function for my iPad works! This is so cool. :)
- There's an on/off button at the back.

Smart Weigh Pocket Scale

Welcome!!!!!

I received this as a review sample. Since the product description is very complete and there are a large number of other reviews discussing the features I am going to stick to a few areas. First it's accurate. I test a lot of scales so I own a set of calibration standards. My scale worked out of the box by accurately weighing a 1 gram calibration standard, and that is ten times the weight that this scale is capable of weighing.

One feature that I love is the hold function, which will freeze the display if you are weighing an object that is large enough to obscure the display. Do note that his scale will max out at 2kg (or 4.4 pounds), so placing any object heavier than that could damage it beyond repair.

It's possible that the scale arrives out of calibration. Since it has a calibration feature, which many digital scales lack, you should invest in a 1000 gram calibration standard. Yes, they cost more than the scale, but the scale itself is less than fifteen bucks, so the total cost is still below what a scale of this design was selling for less than two years ago. If you are wondering what standard to purchase this is one that I recommend: American Weigh Scales 1KGWGT Calibration Weight Scale, 1000gm Capacity.




Note, you do not need that standard to check accuracy - any calibration standard between .1 grams and 2kg will let you know if the scale is accurate. You do, however, need a 1kg (1000 gram) standard to perform a calibration. One good indication that you do need to run a calibration is if the display shows an OUTZ, which means that zero has shifted and it is no longer accurate.

Overall this scale has a plethora of features and, when calibrated, is highly accurate. The only complaint that I have is the function buttons are so shiny that they are hard to read in a strong light.

Salt and Pepper Grinder

Heyy Everyone!!


The 2 in 1 Salt and Pepper Grinder is a must have for every kitchen! I can't tell you the number of times, that I have gone looking for the salt and pepper shaker only to find them on the kitchen table.

Salt And Pepper Grinder

 I love the 2 in 1 Salt and Pepper Grinder as it is larger then most salt and pepper shaker mills, but it's not too large that it is cumbersome. It is made out of stainless steel with an area of clear plastic that houses the pepper and salt from one another. Plus it allows you to adjust the setting on whether or not you like coarse or fine pepper or salt depending on your tastes. I did notice that in other grinders, it tends to spill bits and pieces when you are done, but this seems very minimal, which is great. Filling and refilling is very simple and easy. Overall I do believe that this salt and pepper shaker does deserve far more then 5 stars

Dr Hanas Nasopure!!

Hey All!!


I love Dr. Hana's Nasopure! The bottle is a great design and easy to use. I use it when my allergies or a cold are driving me nuts and it helps so much.



However, if you balk at the cost, I would suggest buying the starter kit and then you an mix your own solution when the packets run out! 1/2 tsp each of baking soda and canning salt (or sea salt) and fill to the line on the side of the bottle... that's what I do.

- Mounting system: The patented Easy-Latch System® enables the Upper Desk mount to be portable and does not require permanent installation. Most other tablet mounts require users to drill holes and uses screws to permanently mount the device in one location. Upper Desk has a patented solution which quickly attaches to most cabinets and shelves. It allows the user to move the mount when needed and provides superior stability to most permanent mounts.

- Quality Construction: Rather than cheap plastic construction, Upper Desk uses primarily powder-coated steel with some high-density plastic materials to provide superior stability and years of use. When you use an tablet in an Upper Desk mount, it provides unmatched sturdiness. You can tap away at the screen without a “wobble” effect that most other products exhibit.
- High-Performance Design: By focusing on performance rather than cost, our engineers have designed those features which are needed by users in a variety of applications. Universal fit is only one. The pivoting mechanism allows multiple viewing directions in the kitchen or garage. The lower attachment arm offers multiple viewing angles to eliminate screen glare. The Easy-Latch System® allows the user to still close cabinet doors without issue. The telescoping arm allows for adjustable heights from the countertop area.
