I thought maybe we could discuss what products we have purchased off of infomercials here. I personally am considering buying the Aircore cookware system and I'm looking for some feedback??

Personally, I have bought a few products off the informercials. One was those microwave egg cookers and I didn't like them. The other was the OrangeGlow products and I really did like them, as well as the oxiclean products. They worked great.

Feel free to write your own ratings/reviews. I love internet and Tv shopping, always looking for great products to make life a little easier.

I bought those hooks (plastic ones that have suction cups) and they are great.

I have yet to buy something from an infomercial, but am I the only one that will be channel surfing and just stop mesmerized by the informercial? I can sit there in a trance for at least an hour... sad eh?!

As many times as I've seen "Set it and Forget it" I still tune in occasionally. It looks amazing, but looks like it'd be a pain to clean.

The one I am wondering about is that little chopper. Looks like a clear cup you put over your cucumbers, carrots, etc., just press and things are diced. Seems a lot easier than a knife because the pieces could be smaller and done faster. And much easier to clean than a food processor.

Those cleaning products look great but that guy that hawks them annoys me to no end.

Crazydog,

Pampered Chef has the chopper for $28.50. "Just a few quick presses of the knob rotate the durable blades to chop vegetables and nuts for quick meal preparation."

You have the option to chop directly on cutting board (If you get Pampered Chef cutting board they will not dull the blades) or it has a lid that fits on the bottom. Works great and easy cleanup. I highly recommend.

I'll second the recommendation on the chopper. I have the infomercial brand (not pampered chef), but I love it. Works fast, and you don't have to pull out the food processor or stand around chopping stuff all day.

Sure Sawheel17. Sugaring is like waxing but made of honey (strips and warmed paste). When you first start sugaring, pulling those strips hurts like a son-of-a-bee, but you get use to it after a while. You can apply the sugar to: legs, underarms, eyebrows, bikini lines etc. (I only do the legs and underarms) The more you use it, the less you'll have to do it in the long run.

Cost - $15/CDN for two 12 oz jars and one 6 oz roll on at Costco (Walmart has single jars for $9)

Maris..are you talking about the indoor outdoor bar-b-que? I have one of those and it's the biggest one I could find!! I LOVE IT! Now..if you know of a bigger one..PLEASE let me know..

ROFL Zach, that would be it. I saw George on TV with Letterman and he was a riot about a month ago. He was talking about his grill because Michael Caine had been on before him saying that he couldnt cook sausages on his grill as they kept falling off. It was so funny.

George doesnt take himself too seriously.

i have sucumbed(sp) to the orange glo/oxi clean products. the oxi stuff doesn't clean the soap scum as easily as they say though. but i love the orange glo wood cleaner and the scent is wonderful. oh we also have kaboom, again not what it was hyped up to be.

the kaboom is great for tile. I used the kaboom for kitchen tile and it picked up the grease, one two three. Love the orange glow

I'm all over my George Foreman grill - it's especially a godsend for anyone on the Atkins diet. Makes it so much more convenient to cook fresh meat. I highly recommend it.

Ann! Which Total Gym did you get? I mean what is it called, does it have any letters or words after the word Total Gym? What do they charge for a machine like that where you're at?

I have the George Foreman grill, and the George Rotisserie. Personally I could not live without them. The grill makes the best bacon I have ever cooked not to mention steaks, chicken, pork chops and hash browns. The rotisserie is great for kabobs, fish, whole chickens baby back ribs and lots more. I love them!
Ps clean up is very easy

I want a GFG!!! Our friends also have the rotisserie. They love it. Theirs has a rack thing that fits over burgers. It rotates and makes them delicious. They've also cooked turkey in theirs.

I am thinking about ordering these Miracle Blades and would like some feed-back if anyone has purchased them. I love the idea of the piece in the blade that allows you to grip better for chopping.

Through ubid, i ordered the ginsu knives for .99.

Althought, not very sturdy, I almost sliced my finger off. They are very , very sharp.
