Back to Basics Nut Roaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If there is such a person as a nut-aholic, that's me! I love nuts and they're nutritious, too. In the past, glazed nuts have always been special occasion treats, bought in small jars or cellophane bags and doled out sparingly. No more!
The Back to Basics Nut Roaster easily glazes all my favorites - almonds, pecans, walnuts, cashews in a quick ten minutes on top of the stove. The roaster itself looks a bit like a deep fry pan with a mixing handle in the center. All I do is put the roaster on our electric cook top over medium high and then add nuts, glaze mixture (more about that later) and specified amount of water to pan. Then, simply rotate the mixing handle until the moisture is gone. I pour the nuts onto a non-stick cookie sheet to cool. If any stick together they're easily separated with a wooden spoon while they're hot.
Now for the promised glaze info: We really like the Back To Basics Toffee and Cinnamon glazes. For either of these we use 2 cups nuts, 3/4 Cup of glaze and 3 Tablespoons of water. Delish!
This past holiday season we gave neighbors and friends jars of glazed nuts for which we received thanks and compliments galore. We also try to keep some on hand in an air tight container for drop-in guests but, to be honest, more often then not they're for us.
Enjoy!

Back to Basics PC17551 Aluminum Stovetop 6-Quart Popcorn Popper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I opted for this aluminum popper instead of the stainless steel. Lesson learned. It does pop almost all of the corn. It's kind of fun to use. Guests and kids think it's cool. The popcorn it makes sure does taste good. Fits in the dishwasher.
The lid fits properly for about the first week, then never again. Occasionally I have to fiddle with the gears to get it going again. The thin aluminum pan has become warped and no longer heats evenly.
You get what you pay for.

Perfect for anyone who loves to curl up with a bowl of popcorn and watch movies, this stovetop popcorn popper makes up to 6 quarts of theater-style popcorn in just three minutes. The unit features a sturdy, even-heating aluminum pan with a clip-on aluminum lid and a stay-cool wooden handle. Simply add 1 to 3 tablespoons of oil and a 1/2 cup of popcorn to the popper and place it on the stovetop. Slowly and continuously turn the hand crank on the handle, which spins the internal stainless-steel stirring mechanism and keeps the corn moving across the bottom of the pan for even heat and oil distribution. The popper's lid contains steam vents to help keep the popcorn dry and crisp. Pour the popcorn into a bowl, then have fun adding your favorite toppings--everything from salt and melted butter to brewer's yeast, grated Parmesan, or Cajun seasonings. When finished, simply remove the lid and wipe out the popper with a paper towel, then store the lightweight popper for later use, or better yet, keep it on the stovetop for a healthy snack any time. The popcorn popper measures approximately 10 by 17 by 8 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Back to Basics Stainless-Steel Stove-Top Popcorn Popper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This popper is the one I should have bought in the beginning. I chose the less expensive one first but the plastic gear between turn handle and internal rotary paddle got stripped. Heat and plastic are not a compatible combination. The Back to Basics version has a metal gear, making this popper well worth the few extra dollars.
