Polder 893-90 Dual Kitchen 20-Hour Timer/Clock/Stopwatch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this timer based on the recommendation of America's Test Kitchen testing lab. The timer works as advertised but the audible alarm is not very robust, you cannot hear it from another room. Control of all of the various functions is somewhat confusing, certainly non-intuitive.

Worse, the magnetic strip on the back of the timer is affixed to the plastic body with double-sided tape that will fail in very short order, allowing the magnet to separate from the body. My first timer fell off the front of my fridge onto a hard tile floor, shattering the case and destroying the timer. Amazon replaced that at no charge. A second timer did exactly the same thing after about a week's use, although this time I expected it and it only fell to the countertop.

Instead of the dual timer, I do recommend the Polder 898 Clock, Timer and Stopwatch, available in Black or White, $15.00. It is very loud, comes with a laynard so you can hang it around your neck, and is simple to use.

Oxo 1130800 Good Grips Food Scale with Pull-Out Display Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OXO's newest addition to the kitchen counter is this well-designed, practical food scale. The pull-out display makes sense if you have ever used a scale and cannot see the readout with a large container on top. As cool as the design is, the scale is extremely accurate, so much that we use it for a postage scale at home, and it weighs anything from an envelope of under one ounce, to a good sized package for the mail (up to 11 pounds). Weighing ingredients in food is the European way of measuring while cooking, and so much more accurate than volume measurements. Of course it is bi-lingual so you may measure ounces or grams, and it is perfect for converting European recipes

Product Description:
Boasting one of the most efficient designs, the user-friendly OXO Good Grips Food Scale makes a great gift for novices or seasoned chefs alike. Perfect for weighing all ingredients, the scale features an offset function, so containers won't count in weight totals. Weigh items directly on the platform, on a plate, or in a bowl, and pull the display away from the base to prevent shadowing from large plates and bowls. Accurately measure ingredients when cooking and baking and stick to a diet by weighing portions. An optional backlight makes the display easier to read and a weight indicator shows the capacity left on the scale before maximum capacity is reached. Press the zero button to offset the weight of a container or to set the weight back to zero so you can add additional ingredients. The display features large, easy-to-read numbers which measure in 1/8-ounce and 1-gram increments. The stainless-steel platform can be removed for cleaning but no parts are dishwasher safe. The scale has an 11-pound capacity and requires 4 AAA batteries for power. It doesn't take up much counter space, measuring 11-1/4 by 8-1/2by 2 inches. A thin profile makes the scale easy to store when not in use.
