Little Tikes 1592 Review: Little Tikes Police Cycle Sounds Rocker. We bought this sturdy, molded plastic rocker for my 18 month-old boy earlier this year when we noticed that he had to spend time indoors during several "energy spurts" in the late afternoon hours. It turned out to be the ideal choice for keeping him occupied and getting a little exercise in while playing in the living room. True, the siren sounds can get a little irritating, but that's easy enough to fix with a turn of the "key". The reason I got this rocker over other ... Read more »

All-Clad 5000-9 Review: All-Clad 5000-9 Stainless 9-Piece Cookware Set. For a good even heat, excellent quality of workmanship, and a dependable name, I can't think of anything better than All-Clad. For years, I used cheap cookware store non-stick skillets and hand-me-down pots and pans my mother used when she first got married. What a difference it makes.Most cookware is way too thin, which leaves you with hotspots. For years, I would make up for this by using a cast iron "defuser" to even out the heat and keep the direct flame off the bottom of the ... Read more »

Little Tikes 4162 Review: Little Tikes Push and Ride Doll Walker. My daughter received this walker as a gift for her first birthday.

It's small, lightweight and accurate, but does not have a scan feature, meaning the distance measurement does not change as you move the sight from one object to the next.

Howerver, imho the most rewarding of the Pentax 77 is its overall rendering quality of colours and contrast.

All-Clad 6508 SS Review: All-Clad Copper Core 8-Quart Stockpot. This is my favorite stockpot.The copper makes it the most even heating stock pot I have ever used. It holds heat well, so it doesn't loose heat as fast as an aluminum or aluminum core pot does -- which can have trouble when frying because the aluminum cools quickly.It works great for deep frying, oven roasting, making all types of soups, stews, stocks, etc.It is pricey, but really does work better for me than the less expensive aluminum core models.6 of 6 .

All-Clad 5508 Review: All-Clad Stainless 8-Quart Stockpot. When purchasing our original All-Clad cookware, we explicitly went for the 6-qt Dutch oven/stockpot, since we are a family of two. While the 6-qt has served us well for several years, I discovered I'd need the slightly greater volume when making some fruit preserves this summer. So I bought the 8-qt. It's been a joy to own and use.

All-Clad 7112 Review: All-Clad Master Chef 2 12-Inch Fry Pan. The ongoing debate over cookware at my house is over: All-Clad is the best cookware overall and is worth the extra money. Our coppers tarnish and require retinning. Our encapsulated disk cookware (Reverer and Farberware) suffer from loose and broken plastic handles and too-small disks which limit the cooking area of the fry pans. The biggest debate was between Calphalon and All-Clad. My wife really liked the lighter weight of Calphalon's anodized aluminum stuff. After living for both for several years, All-Clad has shown its overall superiority in the following ... Read more »
