Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker Review

 

I will admit I love a good fruity drink and I could not have had better timing in getting my Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker because I was able to test it out with my Vita Frute Cosmopolitan Cocktails.  This review is coming a little late, but I have to share it with you.  I love the product.  It worked really well.  Before I had gotten this in the mail I had never used a shaker before.

I was thankful that it came with a nice little guide explaining to me what to do.  The pieces slip in together nicely and the piece to measure the shot or double shot size for liquor fits wonderfully in the shaker when it is not in use.  My first attempt with it was to use the cocktail mix with a flavored rum as well as some fresh mint.  I had felt that the cocktail mix needed something to give it a little pizazz!

The mint made the flavors mix really well and my second attempt with it was to shake up a cocktail iced tea drink which turned out pretty phenomenal.  If you are worried about coming up with ideas on drinks you can stop now because this shaker comes with a recipe ebook that you can download in your email after purchasing the Cocktail Shaker.

Choosing the Right Kitchen Cleaners

April 25, 2014 by Ashley Leave a Comment

It’s important to use the right cleaners on your high-end kitchen appliances. While you need something tough to cut through the grease, it should also be gentle enough to avoid scratching or damaging the surface. Using the wrong cleaner can create a dulling film and make your appliance less attractive. Here’s what you should know about your cooking appliances and what’s required to clean them.

Avoid Scratches on Glass Cooktops

You love the look of your glass cooktops, but you’re worried about scratching it with the harsh cleaners that are commonly available at the store. Some cleaners can dull glass and make it look dirty. Others cause scratches that groove the surface and create a hiding spot for bacteria. With the right cleaner, you can enjoy the smooth surface without worrying about any damage. These cleaners will remove burnt-on grease on and old food while polishing the glass and restoring a fresh look to your cooktop.

Polished Stainless Steel

Clean stainless steel is an asset to any kitchen that enhances the look of your space and makes it more attractive. However, it can also become streaked and start to show every fingerprint if you don’t use the right cleaning products. Special stainless steel kits provide you with everything you need to maintain a high polish finish that looks like new. With a simple spray and wipe, you can clean the front of your refrigerator and get the water stains off the front of your dishwasher. It all starts with investing in a cleaner that’s specially formulated for stainless steel.

Tough Cleaners for Tough Jobs

From your counter to the bottom of your oven, there will be messes that require a tougher cleaner. Dried on food and day-old grease is a challenge for most cleaners. You could spend your day scrubbing at the surfaces, but there is a better way. With products like Ecosential by SmartChoice, you can make cleaning the kitchen a breeze. Using the right cleaner for the job will make the process faster and easier while also protecting the finish on your luxury appliances.

Before you go to the store for basic glass cleaner or all-purpose spray, consider your specific cleaning needs. Specially formulated products are better at cleaning glass cooktops and stainless steel. With the right tools, you’ll spend less time scrubbing the kitchen and more time enjoying your cooking space. Most manufacturers offer special cleaners for their appliances, and it’s wise to invest in these cleaners to prolong the life of your fixtures and keep them looking great.

Mustache Cookie Cutters!

May 19, 2013 by Ashley 4 Comments


Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Mustache Cookie Cutters

I love fun little silly trinkets and things and just loved these mustache cookie cutters and knew I needed to get my hands on them.  I was lucky enough that Fuzzy Ink allowed me to review these cookie cutters.  I knew I would need to bake cookies when I had the two teenaged boys in the house so that no cookies would go to waste.

mustache cookie cuttersI decided to use the recipe that was on the box that my three mustache cookie cutters came in.  It is a recipe for a simple butter cookie, but when I did it the dough came out way too dry and I had to add a few little things to it to thicken it up to a cookie dough and not have it crumble on me.  If you click on the image you will be able to see the recipe for yourself, if you would like to try it out for yourself.  In the future if I make these cookies I am going to frost them with butter-cream frosting to liven them up a bit.  I honestly was too lazy to make the butter-cream frosting because I had worked all week-long and was too sore.

Mustache Cookie CuttersThese cookie cutters are made of 100% Stainless Steel which is nice so that it will last for a long time.  They cleaned really nicely and the dough slid off of them real nice as well.  In addition $5 from each sale is donated to the Movember Foundation.  These would be great to have out at parties.  I know they would make great conversation starters with adults and kids would love them as well because they are pretty silly looking and fun to play with as well as eat.

I wish I had these cookie cutters in high school because I know that all of my friends would have gotten a huge kick out of these cookies.  I can picture a few of my friends holding them up to their face as if they have mustaches.  My friends and I were a pretty goofy group of people who would be highly entertained by these (and probably still would be today).
