King Kooker 30-qt. Pot with Spigot and Turkey Rack Review

So it's a 30 qt pot. Not much to it. Should be fine right?
I use it about twice a month to heat 4 gallons of water to 170 degrees F. It has a Turkey Rack so clearly it was ment to fry turkeys in extremly hot oil.
Back to the point I was heating water the freak'n spigot broke off! Yeah! This is probably the 35th time I've used it. As pointed out above I have only heated water in it and not even to boiling.
Spilling several gallons of 170 degree water was a mess, but can you imagine if I had been using it to fry turkeys! This could have been deadly.
Definitly DO NOT get this pot.

7.5 (30 Qt) Gallon Stainless Steel Stock Pot with Lid Review

7.5 (30 Qt) Gallon Stainless Steel Stock Pot with Lid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's a good size and shape for home brewing, but not a very heavy gauge steel. It weighs about 6 lbs. and has a "brushed" finish like you see in a stainless steel sink as opposed to shiny like silverware. The dimensions in the product description are inaccurate; it's approx. 13.5" wide x 13" tall (not counting the lid).
If you're looking to economize, this is a good choice. I'm sure it will work fine. If you can spare a little more, I'd go with something heavier gauge.

I received this cooker as a gift and was extremely pleased with it. I made a variety of different dishes. Uses include making delicate as well as hearty sauces, steaming, boiling water for noodles, an even deep frying. It has a greater capacity and greater ease of use than a Fry Daddy. The non-stick interior and exterior makes for quick clean up and the fact that it is fully submerssible (sp?) is a nice convenience.

Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker/Smoker Review

Weber 2820 Smokey Mountain Cooker/Smoker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Weber Smokey Mountain (WSM) is really the king of the bullet smokers. You may be tempted to go with a cheaper Brinkmann model, and if your budget just can't afford the WSM, then you can do some prefectly acceptible bbq on the brinkmann.
But if you can afford the extra for the WSM, you will get much better temperature control, and getting good temperature control means you can keep a good consistent low temeperature for doing some truly outstanding smoke cooking.
I am by no means an expert on the subject, only having used my WSM about 10 times. Even so, I have been getting results better than any ribs I have tasted at any restaurant (with the exception of real honest to goodness BBQ joints that cook over hardwood for 12 hours plus...). You can tell real barbecue because it has a pink smoke ring in the meat, which I always get when I use the WSM.
You will want to check on the net for the virtual WSM web page, it has a lot of information, and I found the info there a lot more useful than the methods recommended in the owner's manual.
This cooker is not for the impatient who want instant results, your first few times using it may be frustrating until you learn to control where the temperature is going, not where it is right now. But stick with it and you will start to make some truly great bbq. And understand that you are going to be cooking low and slow, which means it is going to take 4, 5, 6 hours or more to do ribs, but once you get the hang of it, they will be some of the best ribs you have tasted.
More than a fair number of barbecue champions use the WSM get results as good as if not better than those guys using the $1000 plus offset pits. The WSM is a great value and the perfect starter "pit" for someone thinking about getting into serious barbecue.
(You can do yourself a favor by using hickory wood chunks as part of the fuel, and real lump charcoal, not briquettes. Briquettes are nice and all, but they are filled with clay and other impurities, really if you are going to the trouble of using charcoal instead of gas, go with real charcoal if you can find it)

French Fry Cutter, 3/8'' Cut Review

French Fry Cutter, 3/8'' Cut
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a serious piece of kitchen equipment.
We make lots of "french fries" by baking them in the oven to keep them more healthful than the greasy ones you can buy in the store. Cutting them up by hand was time consuming and inconsistent, so we bought one of these to see what it could do.
This thing cuts serious french fries with no problems. We can cut enough fries in 30 seconds to feed four people (about 8 or 9 potatoes). It takes longer to peel the potatoes than it does to cut them LOL. It also takes longer to clean out the cutter than it does to cut the potatoes. But anyway, the cutter does a great job.
Be advised that I had to screw this thing down to an oak board to keep it stabilized for cutting. You don't want to try working this just sitting on the counter top because it takes quite a pull to push the potatoes through. I clamp the board to the kitchen counter with a C clamp and it works great. This is not a flimsy toy but a serious machine. It weighs 15 pounds, probably 20 including the oak plank.
It takes a hefty pull to push the potatoes through the cutters, but it isn't difficult once you get the knack of it. If you make lots of fries, this machine will get the job done.
I bought this cutter from KegWorks via Amazon. They also have additional cutters available in case you need sizes other than 3/8 inch. You can get additional cutters for 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch fries as well. The cutters are easily interchangeable using a standard phillps screwdriver.
This is a somewhat expensive kitched appliance, but you get what you pay for. I read too many reviews telling how the cheaper cutters simply break right away. That won't happen with this one because it is made of metal not cheap plastic.

APPLICA - Electric Skillet (SKG110) Review

APPLICA - Electric Skillet (SKG110)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Black & Decker electric skillet is an inferior product. Twenty days after purchase, the lid shattered during cooking, scattering glass across the food and nearby counter. Two calls to the customer service line were cut off before talking to a live person. E-mail to same have not been responded to after five days. In addition, heat across the surface of the pan is extremely uneven. Needed a replacement for a 10 year+ Presto pan that was loosing its non-stick effectiveness. Have already ordered a Presto replacement!

Originally, I wanted an electric deep fryer that puts out 1800 watts; I was told I might knockout the power since I have so many electric appliances. So I came up with the idea to get a fry basket and a cast iron 5 qt dutch pot and the two together is wonderful. No more lifting each piece out and dropping it back in to get splattered with grease.Round Fry Basket 9-1/2'' Round.
