      Yeah years ago they came from australia with long tongs to do it over the fire, and called jaffle irons. Then evolved to electric jaffle makers. We use a lot thinner bread and as has been said you always butter the outside. Then theres ,tuna, chopped onion and some cheese(bit longer cook) or my invention -banana,cheese and a dab of vegemite. Sounds weird but works. Its hard not to overstuff ..

    I have had the Ninja Chopper for about three years now, and love it. It works so quickly, it’s easy to clean, works well for hard items, as well as for blending up soft items, such as cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon, to make a dessert. Mine came with my Ninja 5 In One Grill. The sandwich maker, while it made the bread a bit too flattened, it worked quickly, evenly toasted the bread, and the cheese was nicely melted. The most impressive thing about it was that you did not need to spread butter or even mayonnaise on the bread beforehand. Yet, the sandwich came out looking very appealing. The popcorn bowl was a hit for me…efficient and mess free. Those chopping boards are not worthwhile. I bought them once, and soon enough they started to get cracks, stained greatly, especially in the cut marks, and for chopping extra hard foods such as carrots, they were not the greatest. As compared to a decent wooden board, the food tended to roll around too much while chopping. The bacon cooking rack was a bit of a waste of money, I feel. It made a good mess, and took a bit too long to cook the bacon. It is easier to just lay bacon strips down on a piece of parchment paper, on a tray, and either cook it in the microwave or oven. To prevent added mess, cover the top with another piece of parchment paper. Also, I could see it being just another item taken up needed space in a cupboard. Your microwave is powerful, so I did expect it to cook a bit faster. It looks like your local Walmart is very well stocked with reasonably priced items to choose from. Thanks for reviewing these items. 😊

    Don't know if I wrote this but my best method of salting popcorn is to put a little bit of cooking oil (1/10 of regular cup maybe) and salt (like half of the small spoon) into a regular plastic shopping bag and put popcorn in the bag and tumble it in this bag for a minute. Perfectly salted popcorn. Greetings from Poland. You might do some experiments with proportions yourself.

    I don't cook bacon in the microwave any more, but the best method I found was just to lay your bacon out in a plate and cover, cook on high for about three minutes. If it cooks laying down, it fries in it's own fat. All these gadgets, or cooking on paper towels, separate the fat out. The reason bacon tastes better in the pan is because you're cooking it in hot fat.
    So just use a plate!

    I am the type of person that doesn't buy anything new unless the old one breaks. I have the same chopper/food processor I have had to almost 20 years. I had a thick plastic cutting board I bought in the early 90's Last year my nephew came to stay with us for a few weeks, I have a gas stove.. he set my cutting board on top of a hot burner and my cutting board become part of my stove top. It melted enough to sink down onto the burner and fused with it. I had to have my son take it out side and heat it with a cutting torch to get it off. I was upset about losing my cutting board but I got a nice new one for Christmas from my Nephew.

I love them.lve used them for years. I keep one on my counter at all times. Love your reviews. Paper towels and a paper bag make the best bacon maker. 1 min per piece of bacon. Easy clean up. Open the paper bag ,line with 2 sheets of paper towel, then make layers 3 slices to one layer with 2 sheets of paper towels.In between. Then turn the ends of the paper bag over tape with kitchen masking tape. Put in microwave. Let sit 2mins before removing. No mess in the microwave. Cut the bag open, remove bacon. Yum BLTS.

    What's easier is to put bacon on a paper towel that is on a plate and then cover the bacon with either a microwave splash lid or just with another paper towel. That's way cheaper and leaves no mess for the microwave and about 2-3 minutes for a 1,000 watt microwave for about 8 strips is just fine to make them fully crispy cooked and not burnt. So these gadgets i.m.o. aren't worth the money since they only do one thing and the bacon has to be folded over and it's obviously cooked in a folded over way.

    My first set of plastic cutting boards probably lasted about 15 years before they were too scratched up to clean thoroughly so they got repurposed into the potting shed. The replacements have held up well now for four or five years. Mostly cooking for one, I found it useful to cut a couple of them in half since I don't always need such a big surface and the half-size is very convenient and easier to clean and dry.

    We really like the cutting mats. Yes, you can cut through them if you have sharp knives and are cutting something that requires a lot of pressure. The ones we use, are dishwasher safe, (maybe they all are) so we don't care what color we use for what. At that price point, replacing them is no big deal.

    Works great , folds up to a smaller size & no silicone taste to popcorn. Most silicone things I've tried in past leave a weird taste for me (ice trays etc) making me discontinue use but not my popcorn bowl. Love it

  • @gaylec258

    I'm thinking it was 5 years ago, my friends gave me those flexible cutting mats. Now, personally, I'm not into color coding and feel that a good wash in between uses is good enough to stop cross contamination, so I actually have 2 whole mats left. When I say whole, I actually cut the first 2 into 4 squares each. I live alone, and don't need a full sized cutting surface for most things. The first one lasted about a year and a half before it got too thin, wore out and cracked. I'm on the second one. They are fairly well marked up, but still completely usable. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.
    I have a little electric, off brand chopper, that belonged to my mother. It's got to be 10+ years old. It doesn't hold as much as that Ninja, but it's just as quick and efficient. I've never tried it with nuts (I don't like nuts anyway), so not sure what it would do. It wasn't until this last year I thought to use it to chop up (more like pulverize) meat. It worked. I'm happy. BTW Happy New Year from Gayle in Oklahoma!

    The only draw back with the popcorn popper is the condensation accumulated on the lid. When the water drips down onto the popped corn, it becomes wet, soggy and awful. This is good for those who need to stay away from oils, but for me I will always prefer it cooked in coconut oil in a real popcorn popper.

I just used frozen fruit and passed it to where it got to the right consistency which was a thick frozen fruit paste like consistency ... It is worth a try. It works better and easier to clean than some of the other appliances...

Bought a Ninja and the coffee tastes better, it's lasted longer (with no issues whatsoever), and it has more features. I also have their 5 in 1 counter top grill/air fryer and it's amazing. I use it all the time because it's so versatile and easy to clean.

    I use reusable ice cubes in an ice pack. Just throw the ice pack in the freezer and you are good to go. I do wash them about once a month, the cubes and the ice pack. If you are using the ice pack like I do for aches and pains, and sometimes headaches, you don't notice the freezer smell. Just cover it with a towel and it will last for a couple of hours.
