Review: "This product actually works! I used regular tortillas, put some chicken and cheese inside and crimped it! I sprayed a little oil on it and put it in the air fryer for 10 minutes. It came out brown, crispy, and delicious. Most importantly, my tortilla remained closed as I ate. Highly recommend!!" - Natalie Zeno

Birthday Cakes Slide Out Of Easy Release Cake Pans In One Glorious Piece, Which Means The Emergency Frosting Patch Job Can Finally Retire
Review: "These cake pans are wonderful. I wanted an easy release pan (with swivel) because I had one previously and loved it. That old pan is over 40 years old now and I wanted to get new ones to make a three-layer cake. The new Shannon cake pans are good quality and have the great swivel (easy release). I couldn't be happier. I hope they will last long enough to be inherited by my grandkids." - Pat

Meal Prep Gets A Free Extra Pair Of Hands When A Ziploc Bag Holder Props Up Those Floppy Bags, Keeping Them Upright And Open So The Soup Goes In The Bag And Not All Over The Counter
Review: "I first bought this to help with meal prep/food prep. But then I quickly realized I can use this bag holder for a lot of other stuff too. I use it as a trash bag when we eat shell fish or crab. It keeps the table clean since we can just throw everything in the bag instead of on the table. We also use it as a trash bag when we clean out the fridge. The holder can adjust to any size to fit the height of the bag. I like it so much I bought more to give out as gifts." - Penny Liu

THEY REALLY WORK AND THEY'RE SUPER AFFORDABLE!I've used these to completely or partially cover foods in the microwave (no more spatter!), replace plastic wrap in the refrigerator, as a pretty little lid to help keep food warm in serving dishes on the dinner table, to cover pots and pans on the stove and baking dishes in the oven, and to protect food from the elements and bugs outside. Works great for my coffee cup, too! (No more sloshes, and helps to keep my coffee warm!)" - Michelle

Check On The Roast From The Couch With The Thermomaven WiFi Wireless Meat Thermometer, Since Nobody Should Have To Open The Oven Forty Times To Poke A Chicken And Mutter "Is It Done Yet?"
Review: "It's easy to use. There's no wires to deal with. The probes use Bluetooth and the signal goes pretty far. I can put the base unit in the kitchen 50ft away with the grill lid closed. It's really cool how the probes can measure different temperatures along it's length. The probes store neatly into the back to charge up and it helps them not get lost. The app gives you a nice graph that shows how the meat is heating up and it tells you the ambient temperature of the grill/oven too." - Dan Dawson
