Gifts and Gadgets

Let’s face it. Most of us don’t get enough fruits and vegetables in our diet. We’re not even close. For me, the prep that fresh fruits and veggies require — the chopping, coring and slicing – is enough of a deterrent for me to find easier things to eat instead.

One shortcut to getting your daily recommended intake is to get it all at once as part of your morning routine. The Breville Juice Fountain Plus makes short work of that task by making quick and nutritious drinks with no prep required.

Now, even the laziest among us can quickly juice large quantities of fruits and vegetables, or just enjoy a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.

Who Should Buy the Breville Juice Fountain Plus?

Anybody who enjoys fresh juice or a cup of fresh OJ in the morning, anyone on a diet or detox program, parents who want to make juice for their children without sugar and additives, anyone shopping for their first juicer, and experienced juicers who want to upgrade should check out the Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus Juicing Machine. The Breville Juicer is not ideal for juicing wheat grass, as it’s a centrifugal juicer, not a masticating juicer (the type that chews leafy greens down to a pulp).

Make creamy, frothy Hot Chocolate at home with an automatic hot chocolate maker. I got one as a gift, and it makes the best hot drinks! They really do save a lot of time, work, and cleanup. Here’s why hot cocoa lovers should get their very own hot chocolate maker.

Hot chocolate makers automatically heat your milk or water to just the right temperature, which is probably the trickiest part of making hot cocoa the old fashioned way. Hot cocoa machines also mix everything evenly, which is probably the second trickiest part about making a good cup of hot chocolate. The mix always clumps, and it’s hard to blend it fully.

Accuracy is the key to a good cup of tea. Tea is delicate, and unfortunately, it’s way too easy to screw up any one of the three T’s –Tea, Time, and Temperature — if you don’t have an accurate method for getting them just right. Mess up any one of these, and you end up with weak, tasteless, or bitter tea.

Enter the Breville One Touch Tea Maker, which makes brewing tea just as easy as making a cup of drip coffee in a coffeemaker. Manual brewing just can’t compare. The tea infuser basket controls the first T, the amount of tea itself. You’ve gotta get this right to have a proper cup of tea.

As for the second and third T’s — time and temperature — the Breville Tea Maker does all the hard work for you with pre-programmed brewing times and temperatures for different types of tea.

How Does the Breville BTM800XL One Touch Tea Maker Work?

There are foolproof presets on the Breville electric tea brewer for Green Black, White, Oolong, and Herbal teas, which develop their best flavors and aromas at different temperatures and brewing times. (Who knew?)

The popular Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler is a nonstick contact grill, an open grill and griddle, and a panini press, all in one.

Just switch out the dishwasher-safe, removable, nonstick plates for whatever type of food prep you want to do. If you’re looking for a single, multifunctional kitchen gadget that can fulfill several of your needs, the Cuisinart 5 in 1 Griddler is it.

What can I Cook with a Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler?

The Cuisinart Griddler’s temperature controls allow for a variety of cooking tasks, from warming, to searing, to grilling. With both grill plates in place, you can close the cover and grill BOTH sides of your food at the same time.

With the cover open, you get a double griddle surface, without the hot spots and cold spots that a stove top griddle is subject to. Or, use one grill plate and one griddle plate together, which gives you a half-griddle for your pancakes, and a half-grill for your bacon or sausage.
