Protect Your Hands And Carry Heavy, Hot Pots Safely

How many times have you been cooking and go to grab the pan handle to find it super hot, much hotter than you thought it would be? Or how many times have you gone to grab your cast iron skillet handle with a nice oven mitt or pot holder just to find out it was not enough protection? I think most of us have had those situations happen and it's no fun.


Well Sunsella has a nice solution for that, it's the Silicone Potholder. Obviously from the name, it is made of silicone, which means that the potholder does not transfer the heat from the pan handle to your hand. Silicone is fantastic in that capacity, but it does even more.


The potholder slides over a large number of pan handle sizes. It's really easy to get on and take off. It's also very easy to take care of by either hand washing or tossing in the dishwasher on the top rack. Really nice thing is they won't stain like cloth protectors do.


The handle has small textured bumps on it that give your hand a good solid grip of the handle. Your fingers will not slide around and the handle will not slide around, making it much safer to carry heavy cast iron skillets safely. There's a good feeling of security while using this pot holder and lifting a heavy hot pan.

This is a fantastic item, and I can highly recommend it to you!

A Fantastic Stainless Steel Kitchen Gadget


I love having freshly steamed vegetables. For one reason I know exactly how long they are cooked and to the texture my family enjoys the most. For another, they are just so much better for you than canned or frozen veggies


But all vegetable steamers are not the same. Bamboo ones are nice, but they take up so much room and let's be honest, they don't really get completely clean because of the bits and pieces that can get stuck in them. Eeewww! The metal steamers, well some are just cheap, cheap metal and fall apart or bend and get wonky after only a few uses!


Sunsella has made a fantastic Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer that I have really been enjoying! The fact that it is stainless steel and not any other cheaper and flimsier metal is wonderful! It won't rust. I've had a few do that over the years. It felt sturdy the first time I took it out of the box! I knew it would hold up for some time.


Like all metal steamers, it opens and closes easily and takes up very little space in a drawer of cupboard. I have taken to keeping mine in the sauce pot I use it the most in. If I don't need it, it just sits where the pot usually does, but I know where it is and it is not jammed in a drawer somewhere!


It fits almost all pots. I have even used it in my big 6 qt pot and have had great results. We used it to steam large wedges of cabbage and it was fantastic!! It filled enough of the pot to keep the pieces from falling through and it was so easy to get the cabbage wedges out by picking up the steamer.

I've said it before and I will most likely say it again, having quality kitchen gadgets and utensils is important. Buy quality once and use for a long time instead of buying cheap and replacing it over and over and over.... This is a steamer I can highly recommend to you!

A Must-Have Tool In My Kitchen

In every kitchen, there are things that I would consider essential to have. Most of us would think of measuring cups and spoons, rolling pin, and such. But one tool I always have considered essential is a simple tool often overlooked.


Sunsella was kind enough to send me this tool to test out. It's their Stainless Steel Pastry Scraper & Chopper. Yes, I already had one, but I enjoy finding tools that are even better or as good as the ones I already have. This scraper/chopper is a very nice tool!

The whole thing measures 6" x 4 ½" in size. The blade is made of a quality stainless steel that will resist rust and hold up over a long period of time. It is a substantial piece and heavy to deal with a lot of work, but not too much so to make it uncomfortable to use. An old scraper/chopper I had would bend and give when I used it. This one does not by any means! It's quality!


The handle is very comfortable. I like the way it feels when I grip it. On one end there are indents on both sides for your thumb to sit in. I like how they put the indents on both sides so it can be used by right or left handed people easily and comfortably.


The edge of the blade is not sharp like a knife, but it does help cut through doughs, some breads and foods easily and neatly. No sawing or wiggling to get the blade through. I love how the edge of the blade has a ruler so you can know exactly how much you are cutting off. That is a time saver to me and very much appreciated! The corners of the blade are slightly rounded too so it will not cut into your cutting board.

When I have used it to scrape things up and scoop with, it has handled a good amount. Cleaning up dough off my counter is very easy using this. This scraper/chopper is a quality item and one I think every kitchen should have!

A Fun Way To Cook Your Food

How many times have you wanted to make eggs that will fit perfectly inside an English muffin or biscuit? Or how about perfect round pancakes, or better shaped burgers? Come on, admit it, we all want to make our food a little more enjoyable for our families.


Sunsella has a super fun way to do that with their Silicone Egg & Pancake Rings! Let me tell you, these things are a lot of fun!

Since the rings are made of food grade silicone, they are easy to use at high temperatures. They can withstand temps from -40° to 446°, so they can handle your frying pans! They are 4" in diameter and come in a set of four. The rings are a half inch to three quarters of an inch high, so they will hold even an extra large egg in them.

All kinds of foods can be cooked in these rings. You can cook eggs, bacon, pancakes, burgers, or a combination of them! As you start to use them it's amazing the ideas you get on the foods you can cook in them.


It is really easy to use them to cook with. There are several ways to help you make sure the food does not seep out under the bottom. First is make sure you pan is hot before you add the rings and food. If it is hot enough, the food will immediately start cooking and not have time to seep out under. Another way you can do that is to dip the rings in the egg or batter mixture before placing them in the pan (that is hot). That little bit of food cooks when it hits and the you can add the rest without it seeping out. The more you work with them, the easier it gets, so don't give up after one or two tries!


I love the little handle that is on the rings. It helps you to pick it up from the pan and to maneuver it to where you want it as you cook. This is especially good for burgers. You can use the handle to help you flip them, and since it will move a whole 360°, you can flip the handle completely around. It also helps with storing them too. Also, if you need to put a lid on the pan as you cook with the rings, the handle can be slid down and out of the way while the lid is on.


Oh and they come with little styrofoam inserts in the package. I put those back in the rings when I store them. it helps them keep their shape and they don't get all mushed around in the cupboard or drawer.

We have enjoyed the rings a lot and plan on using them often. They would make a great gift or addition to your kitchen!

Convenient, Easy To Use, At A Fantastic Price

Life can get crazy! In fact this whole week for me (and next) is so crazy busy, I'm not sure I will be able to get everything done. So having one or two things simplified in my life is a wonderful thing.


One thing I have available to me right now that is a little less stressful is packed meals and snacks thanks to my Sunsella Buddy Boxes! These are some very nice bento boxes and the whole family is using them.



The clear boxes arrive all nice and stacked together as a set of four with four different colored lids, green, blue, orange, and red. I love the fact that they stack together. It makes storing them a lot easier and more convenient. Like all bento boxes, they have three compartments in three sizes, 3 ½ cups, 1 1/3 cups, and 1 cup. Each one is about 2 inches deep, which is great. They hold quite a bit of food, enough to fill you up at lunch or enough to share as a snack.


What I really love about these bento boxes is that they are freezer, dishwasher, and microwave safe! That means I can prepare things days in advance, place them in the freezer, pull them out later and take them to work or on a trip , and then I can heat them up for lunch. It just makes life a lot easier when you can have things planned ahead and convenient like that!

These bento boxes are just the right size to fit in almost every kind of lunch box or bag. And since they stack well on top of each other, they can be put in a cooler that way and will stay put. Also a very good thing is that the lid seals in a way to keep the contents of each compartment away from the contents of the other compartments This is one of the best things about these! We had one set that did not seal completely over each compartment and things could get kind of icky if they got tipped!


One other point, bento boxes do not have to be used just for food. They are great to help organize things for your kids small toys, crafts, sewing, in your office, and more! They really are handy to have for so many things!

This is a fantastic set and a very good price! I know our family likes them and I am pretty sure yours will too!
