Norpro Silicone Splatter Screen Review

This splatter screen really reduces the splatter on my stovetop. I have tried several other types such as the the common lollipop style and the Oxo Good Grips Splatter Screen with Folding Handle. The large diameter of the screens just took over my stovetop, although the folding handle on the OXO improved its storability.
I like the smaller size of this screen since I frequently use an 8 in. or 6 in. skillet in our small household. This eliminates the over hang of my previous splatter screen and makes using more than one cooking vessel on my 3 burner RV stove alot easier. The ears make lifing the screen very easy and alot more storable than a traditional handle. It is reinforced around the edges so it is not floppy, but very sturdy. This makes it great for draining the liquid from a pot.
As with any silicone item it can withstand heat so it also works as a trivet.
I also purchased the Trudeau 11-Inch Silicone Splatter Screen, Red for the times I use my larger 10 and 1/2 inch skillet which is the largest size in my galley. It is as versatile as this splatter screen.
The screen is very easy to clean. I just wash it in hot soapy water along with the rest of my dishes. The no handle design makes it easy to store.
Anyone that uses smaller diameter pots and pans frequently will find this splatter screen a great addition to their kitchen.

Norpro 661 Nonstick Heart Egg Poacher Review

I am absolutely thrilled with this egg poacher. Was able to get perfectly poached eggs on the second try.
One thing that the directions do not tell you though is that you should put a cover over the pan in order to get the top of the whites to cook. Also, it is not big enough for large eggs. Medium is a correct size (I haven't seen small to try those).
In any case, I made eggs benedict this morning and the eggs were perfectly poached. Yay!

The Cook-Zen Microwave Pot Review

The Cook-Zen Microwave Pot
Average Reviews:

When considering this purchase, I was a bit put off by the price -- it seemed too expensive. I was having my kitchen remodeled and would not be able to cook in it for a while. I was trying to find ways in which I could still cook and eat healthy. When I saw this item, it appeared to be a product in which I could put all the ingredients into it, pop it into the microwave, and presto -- a complete, healthy, Japanese meal!
So it seemed that this would be perfect for me, so I bit the bullet
and purchase both the Zen Cooker and the recipe book.
The recipes (if you purchase the related book) are good, but unfortunately to
cook a complete meal (rice, vegetables, main dish) you have to cook all
separately and thus have the problem of keeping them all warm, etc.
The Zen cooker works well, the cookbook recipes are good, but for the
money I put out and what I expected to get out of it -- I was disappointed.
