I’ve been a home canner for the past 30 years. I’ve canned vegetables, fruits, soups, stews, sauces, condiments, meats, fish, juices, desserts and all sorts of things over the years. My water bath canner and steam pressure canners get a workout every canning season. With …

Today, we’re going to feature the BLITZHOME Sous Vide Slow Cooker Machine that we had the pleasure of reviewing. I have to admit, this was my first experience in using one…so I had a little bit of a learning curve! Don’t worry though, it comes with a user’s manual to help you get started.

The BLITZHOME Sous Vide Slow Cooker Machine came in a bundle along with the Vacuum Sealer. You can find that bundle for sale over on Amazon for a really affordable price. If you’re a newbie like me to Sous Vide Slow Cooking you’ll find great info in the user’s manual which includes:
Functions and Operations, How to do the Settings, how to set up the WiFi function operation of the slow cooker, how to clean and maintain it, cautions, troubleshooting, etc. I suggest you read through it completely before you get started. Let’s talk about some of the features and functions.
* Waterproof
* Dry-Boil Protection
* Low Water Reminder
* Leakage Protection
* Made out of 304 Stainless Steel
* 1100 W
* Touch Controls
* Large Easy-to-Read Display
* Precise Temperature and Time Controls
We decided to test it out making seasoned pork chops. We seasoned the pork chops and then vacuum sealed them. Tossed into the refrigerator overnight to allow all of that goodness to infuse into the meat. The bags that came with the vacuum sealer allow you to boil and cook right in the bag! We filled up the pot with water and got it boiling.
The Sous Vide Slow Cooker securely attaches to the side of YOUR cooking vessel. I used a stockpot. You then set the temperature and time controls. It’s all on-board of the slow cooker (wand). My husband dropped in the seasoned pork chops (still in the sealed) bag and they started cooking. We did all of this in a large stockpot sitting on our kitchen counter…not on our stove-top! I think this is great for tailgaiting, RVs, camping and so forth.
I was really amazed at how quiet it was. Seriously, you could take a nap…it’s QUIET! For a newbie like myself…this is a great one to get started with. Not a newbie? Don’t worry, it’s great for experienced cooks too. It has all of the bells and whistles you would want with a Sous Vide Slow Cooker. Now that we’ve tried it…we’re looking forward to making more delicious food using it. Once you get connected with their app you’ll get some FREE recipes to help you get started.
You can purchase the BlitzHome Sous Vide Slow Cooker and Vacuum Sealer Bundle directly from Amazon for a really great price.

Last year I tried Swedish Dish Cloths for the first time and have been hooked on using them ever since! They’re super-absorbent and are the best things to use when hand washing your dishes!

Check out all of these benefits on using them:
* Super Absorbent
* Don’t Hold Odors
* Don’t Hold Stains
* Reusable and Washable
* Backyard Biodegradable
* Quick Drying
* Space-Saving
* Eco-Friendly
I love them for all of those benefits listed above and then some! They’re perfect for getting down inside your glassware, mugs, glass mason jars and I absolutely love using them to scrub up my pots and pans. Not only can you use them to wash your dishes, but you can use them to wipe up your kitchen counter-tops, to wipe out the microwave oven, refrigerator and your dining room table.
For laundering…you can wash them in your dishwasher (top rack safe) or place them inside a mesh laundry bag and machine wash. You want to hang them up to air dry…don’t toss them into your dryer! In addition, I don’t recommend using fabric softener or bleach on them…just a little bit of soap and water…you’ll be good to go!
Swedish Dish Cloths can be used in-place of wasteful paper towels. Got a spill? They’re super-absorbent and can clean up that spill with ease! They’re a huge money-saver and they’re eco-friendly…a better choice for our planet. Unlike kitchen sponges, they don’t hold in odors or stains. They really get multiple jobs done in the kitchen with ease.
Where can you buy them? I purchase them from Amazon for a really great price. If you love the Beach Coastal Swedish Dish Cloths shown in my post…you’ll find them HERE. They’re my favorite! Not only do I use them but I gift them to friends and family too. I’ve been getting everyone hooked on using Swedish Dish Cloths!
