Microwaveable too

As a wife, mother, and baker I love product that can do multiple things. With the Gourmery Baking Mats I can be sure to be able to use this product for more then just baking. This is the first set of baking mats that I have seen that are microwave safe. Want to cut down on clean up time in your microwave stick one of these on the bottom works great.

These can be used up to 4,000 times but I am thinking they can be used even longer then that depending on care and what they are used for. My children also use these when they are playing with play doh on the kitchen table. We use them for cutting cookies, rolling out dough, and have even come in handy when we needed an extra spot to place cookies to cool out of the oven.

Clean up is a breeze with soapy water or just toss in your dish washer for those lucky enough to have one. We use our several times a week.

You can purchase Gourmery Baking Mats on Amazon.

It's truly an invaluable tool in the kitchen. You can use for all types of treats including cookies, pastries, homemade pizza, potatoes, and much more. Nothing sticks, the food slides without a fight.

You can reuse it up to 4,000 times. There is no more need for wasteful parchment papers.

It's BPA Free, FDA and LFGB certified. You can use it on your oven and freezer.

Easy to clean, just use soap and water, and you're done. It's also dishwasher safe.

Make baking fun and easy

Baking doesn't stop here in Marksville just because it is Summer. Matter of fact we probably bake about the same amount we do any other time of the year except for the Holiday and then we go into overtime.

During the summer not everyone can get out and make s'mores due to water bans or burning bans so lets use the recipe that was included with my silicone baking sheets for S'mores Cookies to make a treat the whole family will enjoy.

Last for days and is so easy to bake with silicone sheets that leave you will cookies that will make you go S'more please. You can find the recipe for S'mores Cookies here.

Pratipad Multipurpose Silicone Pot Holder

Personally I use the silicone mitts but my husband finds that they are too tight on his hands and hard to get off so he prefers regular pot holders, so he was very excited to see these come in and said throw away the old cloth square pot holders and make room for these.

He is funny and when he likes something he really likes something. So these pot holders have been claimed by him even through they are purple and a greyish blue. Hey he can't have everything. These are great for baking, cooking, and opening jars. We also use these as trivets to protect our table from hot pans while eating dinner.

You can purchase the Pratipad Mulitpurpose Silicone Pot Holder on Amazon.

Precision Elite Food Thermometer

Grilling season is upon us so that means lots of BBQ's and that ups the chances of getting sick from under cooked meat. I am not really talking too much about beef but more along the chicken and pork products that are out there.

A meat thermometer could save you from being sick, and can be used when ever you are cooking meat or anything really that you would need to monitor during cooking, baking, or grilling.

Years ago one of the places we rented had a oven problem and even though we kept out pork chops in way longer then they needed to be, I still came down with Toxoplasmosis, with my already low immune system I got really sick and a few months later when they found out why I was sick I was also pregnant which is a big concern.

They did some tests and it came back that I had it long before I got pregnant so the baby would be safe, but for me I would have a long road of recovery.  We traced it back to the night of never getting done pork. Every since we have been really big about out pork being cooked well, as well as many of the other meat products we eat, except for beef which I eat medium.

OK so if you are going to grill a good thermometer is what you need. The Precision Elite food thermometer is one of those choices. Easy to use and can be used for many items. I love that it comes with a case, something I haven't seen with other digital thermometers yet. Happy Grilling and keep it safe.

You can purchase the Precision Elite Food Thermometer on Amazon.

Quick-Temp Instant Read Digital Thermometer

The QuickTemp™ Digital Thermometer is a nice thermometer that folds into itself so you don' t have to worry about sharp pricks while looking for it in your kitchen cabinet drawer. It does take a AAA battery to run it which does not come with it but this is a really nice and easy thermometer to use.

I always have one handy when we are cooking dinner. I check my fried chicken this way, grilled meats as well as roasts. I have several different kinds now and they all have something I love about them. For this one it is the folding feature that protects against anyone getting hurt when the thermometer is not in use. I received this as part of a promotion to facilitate a honest and unbiased review.


You can purchase on Amazon.

Silicone baking cups

Like many others I have found that silicone can make life a bit easier, with baking it is a Godsend. My baking comes out great, tasted wonderful, clean up easy, and I am keeping things out of the dumps. 

I really like the bright colors much better then the plan red sets others had years ago. I have a lot of girls so they like girly colors and Sunsella does that for us. 

Enjoy your baked goods and reuse your baking cups over and over again. A little thing we do is put the oven on 250 and take broken crayons and put them in the cups about 1/3 of the way up and put in the over until just melted, We then take them out let them cool completely, pop them out once cooled and your children have multi colored crayons or you could use the same colors. 

You can purchase the Sunsella Silicone baking cups on Amazon.
