Kitchen Cleaning Tips Using Lodge Cast Iron Pan Scrapers

Kitchen Cleaning Tips Using Lodge Cast Iron Pan Scrapers

Cleaning the kitchen isn’t one of my favorite things to do. Matter of fact, I’ve never met a person who will admit that they enjoy spending hours cleaning doing it. With that said, I do enjoy cooking, baking and canning, so a dirty kitchen is

Nordic Ware Microwave Splatter CoverCleaning the microwave is one of my least favorite things to do. Since my wife broke her hand that chore has been left for me to do. Not only does a dirty mircorwave look bad but it’s unhealthy too! I don’t think anyone wants to stand there for an hour giving it a good scrub out. Okay, at least I don’t.

Four weeks ago I bought one of those microwave splatter covers and gave that a try. It was a brand that I had never heard of. I brought it home and we gave it a whirl. Well, within 2 weeks we tossed it out. It was flimsy and after just 2 weeks had already started to warp and get mis-shapened. What a piece of junk!

I went shopping on Amazon and found the Nordic Ware Microwave Splatter Covers and decided to buy that one. It arrived within 2 days (using Amazon Prime) and we gave that one a try. Well, I’m happy to report that we love it! It’s more substancial than the first one that we tried. It’s BPA and Melamine Free. Made in America by a family owned company that you can trust. A name brand that you know!

This spatter cover will fit 10″ dinner platers and the bacon grill plate (which I’m going to order next). It keeps the splatters contained and has a vented design to allow the steam to escape. For cleaning…you can hand wash in soapy water or place it in the dishwasher on the top rack. We’ve cleaned it both ways.

The days of having a messy microwave oven in our household are over! The days of standing there for an hour and scrubbing it clean are over!!! Not all microwave splatter covers are created equally. If you’ve been disappointed by the one you have or if you’re looking to buy one…I recommend giving the Nordic Ware Microwave Splatter Cover a try. It’s a winner in my book!

Hamilton Beach Electric Stand Mixer with Attachments

How many of you have always wanted to an electric stand mixer but didn’t want to pay $400 plus to get one? I’ve wanted one for years but couldn’t justify that price point because I wouldn’t be using it every day. I think if you’re

Easy and Odor-Free Composting with the Bamboozle Compost Bin

Easy and Odor-Free Composting with the Bamboozle Compost Bin

Bamboozle Compost BinWe’ve been gardening in our backyard for the past 13 years. We’re by no means expert gardeners! With that said, over the years we’ve learned quite a few important things. For example, every vegetable, fruit or plant that you grow has specific soil requirements. If one of those requirements are off then your entire gardening experience can be ruined.

Composting organic materials can help boost the health of your soil. Things like coffee grounds, tea grounds, leftover fruits and vegetables, eggshells, etc. are all great items to add to your soil. To get into composting you need a practical but yet stylish Compost Bin to sit on your kitchen counter. If it’s in front of your face (like beside the kitchen sink) you’re more apt to use it!

Bamboozle Compost Bin

Let me introduce you to the Bamboozle Compost Bin that we’ve been using for the past month. It’s the nicest compost bin that we’ve ever used!  The biodegradable compost bin looks like ceramic but is made from repurposed bamboo for an impeccable design that completes the look and feel of any kitchen. It’s so attractive that many of my friends and family members thought it was an elegant ice bucket!

Dimensions: 8” x 6.25” x 9”

I love the tall and slender design because it has a small footprint on my counter-top.

You don’t have to worry about foul odors coming from your compost bin thanks to the biodegradable hemp filter in the lid. I’ve had mine sitting on my counter for a month and smelled NOTHING coming from it. The hemp filter should be replaced every 2 months. You can buy replacement filters directly from the company and they’re affordable!

Let’s talk about keeping it clean. In between uses it can be placed into your dishwasher for easy clean-up. Just don’t place the lid with the filter inside the dishwasher. Pop the filter out first and then place the lid and the bin into the dishwasher. I’ve washed it 2 times and each time it came out sparkling clean.

My husband has our compost pile at the back of our property near our one garden. Once a week or so, I walk down to the pile and dump the bin. It’s light-weight and easy to carry around thanks to the bamboo handle. It only takes me a minute or two to walk down there…dump and go!

We love our new Bamboozle Compost Bin! It’s attractive, functional and gets the job done!
