March Kitchen Product RoundUp 2015

I get products sent to me daily to try out. I unfortunately don't have time to do a post for each item that I get to review. So I want to make sure these items get seen and learned about. The only other solution I could see to do is to do a kitchen product roundup post on the products I like and want my readers to know about.

Tuna Squish #TunaSquish

d98f05281495d2d66145669ab3fcc9ee626dcc8c

The Tuna Squish let's you open canned tuna without smelling like one! It's a handheld can press that drains the liquid, removes and ejects the lid from canned tuna (and other cans) with minimal human contact. Never touch your tuna!

4a4ddb511707da11a0cdd9dcc69ca1b55d8a5b0cSimple. Easy. Delicious.

Whether you are a tuna lover, a healthy eater, an athlete or a brainiac you can rest assured, with the Tuna Squish you will never have to touch your tuna again.

DSCN9862

I really like this product! It is cute, unique and works like a charm 🙂 And even though it is made for Tuna you can use this to drain liquid from any small can that would fit 🙂 The TunaSquish works great on Tuna cans though, you just open with the can opener or tab and set the can right in the middle of the TunaSquish and hold it over the sink and turn over while holding it. VOILA the liquid drains out and you don't have to worry about losing half of your meat. I like to pour the tuna liquid over my cats food and this helps me do it with ease. Definitely a great product and would be very easy for kids to use as well. You will never have to touch the tuna juice again!

KitchCo Heat Resistant Meat Handling Claws #bbqclaws

DSCN9797The Meat Claws are the perfect pair for lifting, shredding and pulling all of your favorite meats.
    Made from Heat Resistant and easy to clean Nylon.
    Great for Indoor and Outdoor Cooking!
    Excellent Handlers to Toss salads, Lift a roast or turkey, Grab a baked potato, Pull and shred…The uses are endless!
    Heat resistant to 450°F

DSCN9799

 These KitchCo heat resistant meat handling claws are very unique and they look like big bear claws. They are made of hard plastic and are very strong. You hold each one in your hand and each one has six large claws on it. When using the meat claws while making pulled pork they came in extremely handy. When I finished cooking the pork in the crock pot all day, I needed to remove the meat and I was easily able to remove the tender meat with these claws. The meat was very tender and was falling apart like crazy but these have six different claws on each hand and it supports the tender meat very well so it could be easily removed. Then it was time to shred the meat. This process usually takes a fair amount of time when using two forks and fingers to shred the meat. It was very simple with these claws and only took a very small fraction of the time. You just put the meat on a cutting board and rip into it with the claws. You can hold it in place with one claw while ripping into it with the other claw. This process is very simple and I really love these claws for this purpose. I was able to shred the huge hunk of pork in about a minute and thirty seconds. I liked this process so much better than using forks and my fingers. Clean up is a cinch since you can put these in the dishwasher.

What could you use these KitchCo heat resistant meat handling claws for?

Sunsella Silicone Egg Rings #sunsellaeggrings

Egg RingsProduct Description
Made from the high quality 100% food safe BPA free silicone
4-inch size is perfect for egg muffins or mini pancakes
High-grade stainless steel handle with stay cool silicone pad for easy removal from pan
Easy fold down handle for cooking with lid on and storage
Professional looking perfectly round pancakes and eggs every time

Egg RingsI was excited to try the Sunsella Silicone Egg Rings. I went out and bought eggs, cheese and bagels so I could make a fried egg sandwich for dinner. I bought medium size eggs and used a medium size fry pan. I took my rings out and heated my fry pan up. I cracked my egg and dumped it in the ring. To my disappointment the egg leaked out. I wasn't happy with the Sunsella Silicone Egg Ring. I am going to have to play around with these some more when I cook to see if it was my pan or try a different ring. I didn't have time to try more eggs as I was pressed for time. I hope to try these rings again this weekend when I cook the family breakfast. You can purchase the Sunsella Silicone Egg Rings on Amazon today to try them out for yourself as I might not of used them with the right fry pan.

Ozeri 8″ Green Earth Pan with textured surface

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

Dec2013 029Green Earth Pan by Ozeri is one of the world's first frying pans to achieve non-stick perfection while remaining absolutely free of PTFE, PFOA and other harmful chemicals.
With the Green Earth Pan's GREBLON ceramic from Germany, no harmful toxic fumes are ever released into the environment. This is because the Green Earth Pan utilizes a 100% ceramic coating derived from nature, and is completely free of PTFE and PFOA. The Green Earth Pan is made of the highest quality anodized aluminum that allows for even cooking and fantastic browning. It boasts a magnetized bottom for induction stoves, and a heat resistant silicone coated handle. This version of the Green Earth Pan features a textured ceramic cooking surface. The elevations of the textured cooking surface create air pockets which distribute heat underneath food to enhance cooking performance. GREBLON ceramic made by Weilburger GmbH, Germany.

Dec2013 034 I had the pleasure of trying out the Ozeri 8" Green Earth Textured Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan which is 100% PTFE and PFOA Free. All the Ozeri Products that I have tried have been very high quality and have lasted through my abuse (though I do not intend to abuse my products, I am not the best cook or the best cleaner). My family and I have been cooking with this pan for a while now and washed it in the dishwasher after each use and the pan still looks new and shows no wear. My son likes to make eggs or a grilled cheese after school and the Ozeri 8" Green Earth Textured Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan works great for him as it's perfect for one person. I like that my son can practically forget about the food he is cooking and it still won't stick to the pan. You don't even need to use non-stick spray as the pan is already great at being non-stick. I loved the lime green color. It was very well made; not too heavy and not too light. The handle is also very well made and thick; I hate burning my hand once a pan heats up. The silicon handle is also very comfortable and easy to grip, which helps with handling the pan. I did not have that problem at all with the Ozeri pan. My family & I give this pan our seal of approval.
