Caraway Non-stick Ceramic Cookware Set (12 Piece) PFAS & PFOA Free - Oven Safe Pan Set & Compatible with All Stovetops
Insinkerator has been the king of garbage disposals for decades. I found a great 1 HP model on Amazon.
Terra Kaffe Super Automatic Espresso Machine If you love espresso!
My favorite Dish Rack. I use these at home, and they are compact but sturdy enough to hold platters. Generally, less than $20
My favorite half sheet pans These bronze-colored half-sheet pans are so easy to clean, and they look awesome on our sinks! Made by Nordic Ware
The Best Stainless Steel Cleaner and Protectant! It works for more than stainless steel. I have even polished my shoes with this stuff! Totally food safe!
Natural Sea Sponges These are perfect if you are wanting to re-patina your copper, bronze, or brass sink. We will send you instructions for this process via email. Just ask us!
My favorite glass cleaner Great for the home and for car windows. It sells for under $30 for 12 spray bottles. Perhaps split this up with family members. It lasts a long time!
My favorite Pasta - DelVerde is, by far my favorite pasta. It is pricey, but the silkiness and quality are unsurpassed, in my opinion. Check your grocery store for better prices. My second favorite happens to be DeCecco - easy to find in grocery stores
My favorite offset screwdrivers - Every time I show these to professionals, they want a set. These screwdrivers get into small areas no others can. One of my favorite tools.
Beverage Refrigerator - Dual compartment, 24" under counter refrigerator. Keeps bottles or cans as low as 35 degrees. Separate side for wine with its own temperature setting. Very low price!
My favorite tankless water heater - Make sure you look at the amps before investing in one of these. This one is quite nicely priced and works wonderfully for a bathroom or kitchen.
My favorite little air conditioner If you have a small room or even a garage that you would like to keep cool, this little (and inexpensive) air conditioner is a workhorse. We use one in our packing area in our office.
Our favorite laundry soap - This laundry soap will not only delight your sense of smell but will also amaze you at how little is necessary to wash a load of laundry. We have been using it for years. Our sheets smell amazing! Believe it or not, three people now have stopped my wife, just in passing, and said, "Oh my gosh, do you use high-maintenance laundry detergent by Tyler? It truly smells so good!
My favorite Meat Thermometer - This Bluetooth thermometer is at home in the grill or your oven. I used it for the first time cooking large chicken breasts on the grill. It was the first time they came out tender, juicy, and delicious. I am more than pleased with the purchase and intend on purchasing more as gifts.
My favorite webcam This is the webcam I use for all of my Zoom meetings. It works great!
My favorite dehumidifier - I searched high and low for a good-quality dehumidifier, and I believe this one is the best value. I own 4 of them, and they will take care of very large rooms.
My favorite automobile or truck water spot remover Chemical Guys SPI1081602 Heavy Duty Water Spot Remover, Safe for Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, RVs, Home, Office & More, (2 Pack) 16 fl oz My sprinkler system was hitting my mahogany door, and it left an awful white film due to the calcium in our well water. I tried quite a few options, but this is the only one that worked. It was fast and did not harm my door!
My favorite shop lights These lights are very bright and quite inexpensive. They are easy to install too!
My favorite mini-split air conditioner We have used three of these in our office for 5 years. They work well, are quiet and are fairly easy to install.
Huge 72" Commercial ceiling fan - Search all you want; you will likely not find a lower price on a quality 72" ceiling fan. We have several in our shop, and they work wonderfully. You might want to get an extension rod to move it down from the ceiling.
Finally... a bug trap that really works! - Inside or out, this gadget really works. It has a bug light and sticky paper that collects the bugs. It has refills for the sticky paper, so don't accidentally throw them away like I did the first time. I promise, this gadget will amaze you!
Our Place Dream Cooker 6 Qt Ceramic Nonstick Multicooker & Pressure Cooker with Touchscreen Controls & Auto Steam Release
Kitchen Knife - For bargain hunters, this is a great find. The knives are sharp and hold their sharp edge quite nicely.
Kitchen Scissors - Highly rated on Amazon.
My Favorite Sous Vide Cooker - Make the most perfect and tender steaks, meats, and even vegetables. Guaranteed to be perfectly cooked every time. If you have never cooked Sous Vide, trust me, you will be amazed. Check out my earlier blog on Sous Vide cooking.
My Favorite Pizza Oven - I don't have this one yet, but I will in the future. The reviews are awesome, and the price is quite reasonable.
I will be adding more favorites soon, so come back and visit!
