Stop by MomsBlogs4U, and enter for a chance to win a Auntie Anne’s Pretzel Kit & a $5 Gift Card.
I know my family loved the time we spent together, and the pretzels were delicious.
Check out the video we made at: MomsBlogs4U.
We purchased a pretzel kit from Auntie Anne’s store in the Ocean County Mall. My daughter wanted to have something for the 2 of us to do on Fathers Day.
The kit comes with self explanatory, simple directions to follow.
We ran into a few small glitches, but what home cooking expert doesn’t? NO… I am NO cooking expert if you are asking. Anyway the box says that it makes 10 pretzels, but we got 9. A few pretzels were fatter than others, but who cares. They were unique, and fun to make.
The small issues were that my daughter was impatient, and got frustrated when trying to form the pretzels. She had also oversprayed the pans so the first batch wasn’t burnt, but was a little dark. Other than that all went well.
My daughter, and I try to spend as much time together, and this was a quality way to do it. If you are looking for something fairly inexpensive, and fun to do then I would definitelly suggest this kit.
Look for our YouTube video later on.
Finding a good appliance is getting harder, and harder to do. My family has a specific set of standards that must be met for us to purchase a product. Cuisinart has handled most of our small kitchen appliances for some time.
We are heavy coffee drinkers in my house. I have always loved fresh ground coffee. The coffee just tastes better when it is freshly ground, and brewed. I had gotten a Cuisinart 10 cup automatic grind & brew as a gift, and it was absolutelly the best coffee maker I had ever gotten. The unit is very easy to use. Pour water in, add grinds or beans, and press start button. That’s it.
I have yet to be able to afford a newer model of the Grind & Brew, so I keep watching other items of this type that are available from Cuisinart. I got the Black colored version, and I understand that they had a White version as well.
There is a lcd clock on the face. The machine has a timer so that you can set it to make coffee at a specific time. It also has a self cleaning mode. The brew pause feature is especially nice for those that just can’t wait for the entire pot to be finished brewing. The DGB-300BK features a programmable timer for shutting off the machine after a set time. You can also set how hot you want the coffee to stay through one of the programming features.
You can purchase a cleanable filter, or use disposable filters.
This coffee maker comes with a limited 3 year warranty. The companies items are available through retailers selling Cuisinart products, or through the Cuisinart store.
I give this coffee machine 10 out of 10.
