HDE Skull & Crossbones Jolly Roger Pirate Ice Cube Tray






      Ahoy there, mateys! There be nothin' amiss with this bit o' treasure. Keep your cold grog as cold as Davey Jones' locker with novelty skull and crossbones ice cubes. Mold ice cubes, chocolates, gelatin, and other confectioneries into adorable Jolly Rogers to show all your mates why they call you the Captain. Here be a bit o' advice: Because silicone is flexible, it'll be simpler to fill with water and place in the freezer if you place it onto a small baking sheet afore ye start.

      I thought this product was okay... I really liked the moldings but its really hard to take the ice out! The container is so firm that its hard to squeeze out. So every time I try to get the crossbones out, it breaks in the center! I haven't had a full crossbones piece of ice ever since I got this but I'm going to keep trying! The skull on the hand is absolutely adorable. I love ice! I wish they allowed more than 8 pieces of ice on this tray but I understand. Haha! So overall it's okay and I would probably recommend this to a friend if I figure out an easier way to take out the crossbones without breaking it.

            I've been using a French Press for a few months now.While it does brew a decent cup, I really hate that I have to scoop out all the grounds afterwards.I have a tiny apartment kitchen and I don't want to get an overpriced machine to brew a cup. I've done a lot of review-reading here in Amazon and I came across the pour over method.I bought theMelitta Cone Coffee Filters, Natural Brown, No. 2, 100-Count Filters (Pack of 6) with it as it's hard to find this here in Australia (I only see #4 in the supermarket aisles here).I know that the filter cup of this one is plastic and although it would function the same, I bought aCilio Porcelain No. 2 Filter Holder because I don't like the thought of hot water passing and maybe picking up chemicals from the plastic filter.The plastic filter bottom of this one (I assume all Hario filters) are wide compared to a smaller , slimmer opening at the bottom of the ceramic filter.I've used this for 2 days now and while it involves more work vs. the automatic drip ones,at least with this one I'm sure the water reached boiling point.I don't mind the manual brewing as this pot is small enough to keep in the cupboard so virtually no taking up any precious counter top space.Although it says 5 cups on the sides, that's based on a small 120 ml cup.I use a regular coffee mug so it does a little less than 2 12-oz cups for husband and myself.


         What I love about it: it doesn't require electricity. Whether you're camping, a survivalist, in a rolling black out, or living off the grid, this is a wonderful option that will enable you to get that cup of coffee you're craving without electricity.
        What I didn't like about it: it took 3x the normal amount of coffee to get the same strength, as there's no way to get the water to drip in as slowly as my Cuisinart Coffeemaker does. So it runs into the "pot" too soon to take as much flavor with it. But all in all, it's at least an OPTION. which is more than I had before. I'll keep at it to see if I can find a way to slow the infusion process down a little.

Fox Run Brands Porcelain Butter Keeper


      Softened butter on freshly baked bread is one of life's little luxuries. But butter stored in the refrigerator is impossible to spread without tearing the bread. This porcelain Butter Keeper from Fox Run solves the problem by enabling you to safely store your butter out of the refrigerator, so it stays soft and spreadable. White Ceramic; dishwasher safe. Fill the base of the butter keeper with ¼ cup of cold water. Pack softened butter into the cup of the lid and invert into the base of the butter keeper. The water creates a complete seal around the cup to keep the butter fresh. For best results, store away from sunlight, stove, or oven. Replace the water in the base of the butter keeper every three days with fresh cold water. Wash the butter keeper thoroughly in between use. Not recommended for processed cheeses or foodstuffs. NOTE: Due to the manufacturing process, the insert of the butter keeper may not sit flat on the base and may "jiggle" when touched; this is normal and is not a defect

Godinger Dublin Covered Butter Dish




      Another useful accessory for your Dublin crystal collection is the covered butter dish. This lovely piece will blend well with any dinnerware or flatware pattern.

      The Goldinger Dublin Covered Butter Dish exceeded my expectations from the moment I opened the box. It looks and feels more expensive than it cost. It is roomy enough for a whole stick of butter and then some. The top has a nice balance to it and the handle feels secure when you lift it. It looks good with my best dishes and my every day dishes. I could not be more happy with it.

Beehive Acrylic Plastic Butter Dish



    This Lexan Clear Acrylic butter dish is the next best thing to toast! After going through 3 glass butter dishes at roughly $5 a pop, so far this one appears indestructible. Taking care of my 86 year old father and trying to avoid accidents with broken glass I think this butter dish will do the trick.

     It looks just like glass while setting on the kitchen counter or the table. Your average 1¼" X 1¼" X 4½" stick of butter fits perfectly with ½" to spare on either side and a ¼" at the ends when placed in exact center. The base has a lip that the cover fits into snuggly but not tight enough to be picked up by it. Like all acrylic products, I recommend "hand washing" rather than the dishwasher. Ya never know. You just might end up with those tiny cracks left by the high heat and it would be a shame because this butter dish looks so nice.

     I've been using this butter dish for a month now and it still looks the same when it was delivered. So far, knives haven't left any cut or scuff marks on the base.

Bormioli Rocco Kufra Glass Jug with Ice Container and Lid



       Chiller pitcher cools any drink without diluting the contents, by ultilizing an tube that gets filled with ice, and then attaches to the top lid.

       I've had mine for about 9 months now and I love it. I don't have a dish washer in my apartment so when I went looking for a new pitcher, it had to be easy for me to clean. This one's great. I can easily fit my hand inside to clean it. The glass is also nice and solid. I accidentally dropped it washing it one day and it was fine.
