Site's reviews focus on kitchen tools likely to be used on a daily basis, reports Best of the Kitchen

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/04/2014 -- Best of the Kitchen today announced its review site focusing on Kitchen Gadgets and tools. What makes this site different is that it doesn't focus on flashy tools that are made mostly to look cool, but instead, zooms in on the types of equipment everyone actually uses. For example, it has an extensive section dedicated to colanders and another aimed at meat cleavers. This makes the reviews actually useful, rather than simply serving as eye candy.

"Many people like to 'ooh' and 'aah' at things like talking coffee makers or refrigerators that will play your iPod music, but when it comes down to it, that's not what they actually use. Instead, they'll want to do something basic, like make pasta, and need a colander that'll allow it to drain without spilling it all into the sink. These simple tools are the mainstays of the kitchen, so that's what we've focused on," said Ron Donaldson of Best of the Kitchen.

Best of the Kitchen doesn't kid around when it reviews colanders and other things that many other sites think are too basic or inexpensive to bother with. It has extensively reviewed many types of the food-draining tools, including stainless steel ones and ones that fit over the counter, and it has listed the top of every imaginable type. The same goes for other common tools, such as cutting boards, ceramic knives, and even cheese graters.

"One tool that is often-overlooked is the Meat Cleaver," Donaldson said. "For people who buy their meat already cut up, a meat cleaver isn't essential equipment. Those who like to buy things like whole chickens, on the other hand, will find a cleaver essential. It's even more important for those who buy beef or pork in bulk. Bulk buying doesn't always involve getting an entire side or quarter of meat. It can also take the form of buying roasts and turning them into individual steaks. Meat cleavers make it easy to break down these larger cuts with just a few chops."

Of course, not all cleavers are the same. The surprising part is that price isn't always an indicator of which one is best. While the more-expensive options look better, the way they actually work is more varied. Even among the top five options, there are notable differences in ease-of-use. This is where Best of the Kitchen comes in. It gives the pros and cons of each top seller so that it's easy to decide which one will actually be suitable.

Unlike some review sites, Best of the Kitchen doesn't bother reviewing junk. Instead, it focuses on only the top items in each category. This makes it so that visitors can quickly find qualified candidates for their intended purchase and get what they're looking for as soon as possible.

Reviews of the top 5 products in popular kitchenware categories make it easy to see which items are worth buying, reports Best of the Kitchen

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/04/2014 -- A consumer who walks into a kitchen store or goes to a site like Amazon will be presented with a dizzying array of products, many of which will look about the same as the others of their kind. This makes selecting the best ones very hit-and-miss unless more information can be obtained before making a purchase. To make it easier to find the winners, Best of the Kitchen has launched a site that rates the top choices according to a variety of characteristics.

"Kitchen gadgets are made to handle all sorts of tasks, but their value ranges from being great to being absolute junk," said Ron Donaldson of Best of the Kitchen. "For example, consider the salad spinner. This is a device that allows lettuce and other salad ingredients to be rinsed and spun dry in a few simple steps, saving users from having to spend time fiddling with colanders and paper towel. Good salad spinners will work well, look good, and provide good value. Some, however, break down quickly or make a bigger mess than they prevent. We've rated these gadgets according to key traits like quality, price, and even popularity so that buyers know which ones to consider before they ever hit the seller's site."

Another item that has a surprising amount of variance is the colander. This tool is no longer the simple perforated bowl that would have been used 50 or 70 years ago. Instead, over-the-sink models abound. Over-the-sink colanders have frames that allow them to hang over the sink rather than sitting within it like traditional ones do. Some people find this form more convenient because it doesn't need to be held aloft to keep it from touching the bottom of the sink.

Knife buffs have long known that there really is no such thing as a standard knife, but a regular home chef usually isn't interested in reading all about the finer points of cutlery-making just to buy a meat cleaver. Luckily, Best of the Kitchen has reviewed the top 5 cleavers and explained the pros and cons of each one. "One of the most surprising thing we've seen is that price has nothing to do with popularity or overall rating in this category," Donaldson noted. "Our top-rated cleaver is quite inexpensive, while the relatively pricey Henkel's comes in at second place."

Rather than try to rate the appearance of various kitchen tools, Best of the Kitchen has taken a simpler approach: It shows pictures. Other aspects of the products are rated by numbers, which are arranged in easy-to-read tables. This makes it simple to see which items are of interest at a glance.

Kitchen gadgets allow at-home cooks to recreate restaurant meals at fraction of the cost reports bestofthekitchen.com

Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/01/2014 -- Blamed on the economic downturn of recent years, adult between the ages of 18-34 are reportedly eating out less than any other previous generation of the same age, according to a recent surprising report from the NPD Group of 2,400 adults nationwide. With this shift in mind, it's no wonder the increase in kitchenware and gadgets has increased. Says Ron Donaldson, spokesperson for Best of the Kitchen, "Whether you're a professional chef or an at-home cook for a family of five, every kitchen needs the right kitchen gadgets and utensils in order to bring your recipes to life. With meals costing so much for a family to go out, it's no wonder so many are re-creating them with the help of gadgets right in their own kitchens."

Best of the Kitchen, an online resource for gadgets and kitchenware reviews, recently announced a new post reviewing the five best colanders for the sink. Says Donaldson, "A colander is a must have item in every kitchen, and many consider an over the sink colander to be the most practical. While there are many over the sink colanders to choose from, we review five of the best colander options on the market today."

Kitchen gadgets have become an integrated part of the everyday kitchen experience says Donaldson. "When's the last time anyone peeled a potato without a potato peeler or paring knife? How about the last time the average person pulled out the slow cooker and filled it up with ingredients to let simmer all day while they were at work, shopping, or cleaning around the house? It would be awfully difficult to de-bone a chicken without a meat cleaver. We use a number of gadgets and kitchen utensils everyday without giving it a second thought, but there are a number of options to choose from. While some kitchen gadgets and kitchenware items may seem obscure or borderline absurd, most people would be surprised just how many different, unique kitchen gadgets cooks probably use on a regular basis without even thinking twice."

Donaldson assures that cooking doesn't require all the gadgets, but says, "The gadgets just making cooking a lot more fun. If you're not going to go out and let someone else do the cooking for you, it might as well be fun doing it. And quite frankly, with the right items in your kitchen tool set, you can turn any recipe into a delicious meal at will."
