Ice Slice (TM) Reusable Ice Cubes for your Drinks Review

Ice Slice (TM) Reusable Ice Cubes for your Drinks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Refilling ice cube trays day in and day out over the spring and summer gets kinda irritating and quite frustrating when only one person seems to be the only one refilling them... me. But it looks like I came up with the best solution for us, these babies!
Not only are they reusable over and over, they actually last a bit longer then regular ice. That and they don't dilute your drinks in the process. These are even small enough to fit into most water bottles!
Cleaning them is a snap, just a little bit of mild soap and warm water! Blot them dry with a towel and toss them back in their container in the freezer until next time.
Now there was one thing I was worried about with these and that was taste... most items like this have a nasty plastic taste that takes weeks (if not months) to get rid of. But to my surprise there wasn't one!
Keep your drinks cold, looking cool, and not watery and get yourself some of these before summer comes around!
Pros:
Cheap!
They don't leach a plasticy taste or smell into your drink.
Small enough to fit most water bottles.
Look really cool in most drinks.
Comes with their own reusable storage container.
Cons:
Made in China.

I purchased these recently due to not being able to break the ice out of an ice cube tray one night, don't ask! Anyway, turns out these are really great; they freeze solid and hold their cold while you're using them in your drinks. I just rinse them off after using them and toss them back into the freezer the next morning. So glad I tried them, no more fighting with ice cube trays! I highly recommend them, and even wonder why I never tried them before now.

Norpro Nonstick Anti-Freeze Ice Cream Scoop Review

Norpro Nonstick Anti-Freeze Ice Cream Scoop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is one of many ice cream scoops that I have purchased over the years. It's the only one that I have found that really works without sticking to the ice cream.
This scoop cuts right through hard frozen ice cream with ease. It forms nice round scoops that are perfectly uniform and solid.
I would recommend this to anyone seeking a quality ice cream scoop. It will be the last one that you will ever buy.

Harold Imports Chopstir Review

I received this yesterday, and made a dinner requiring ground beef just so I could try it out! Even thought the ground beef I had was the cheapest I could find, this tool did an amazing job of breaking the beef apart. When it was almost all browned, I chopped it again with this, and the meat was broken into tiny little particles! This is so much easier to use than a spatula, wooden spoon or fork! And the results were awesome! I love that I could just throw it in the dishwasher and it is clean again! Definitely worth the small amount of money this costs! I might just buy a few more for family!

OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener Review

OpenX Dual Blade Universal Package Opener

Great tool to open those impossible-to-open jewelboxes that all the electronic gadgets come in. Spares you getting your fingers cut, your teeth broken, not to mention the frustration involved in reaching the product. Originally I read the review on similar tools by David Pogue of the New York Times who mentioned the Dual-X. This tool has 2 blades that enbale you first to slit the package and then get the rest of the job done MUCH better than scissors, knives or perhaps, in desperation, hammers!

Jokari Fizz-Keeper Pump Cap for 2-Liter Bottles Review

Jokari Fizz-Keeper Pump Cap for 2-Liter Bottles
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Sorry Palmer (and the American Chemical Society) I have used the Fizz Keeper for more than 5 years and I KNOW it works! The only time any of mine have ever failed is when they have cracked around the top rim or when I didn't pump them enough times. I have one pump which is still working after 5 years. With care, I am certain your Fizz Keeper will last as long.
Here is the best way to use them.
1. Don't put them on a bottle until you have drank enough so that the pump isn't sitting in the drink. The sugars in the soda can cause the pump to stick.
2. As much as possible, don't shake or get the pump drenched in soda.
3. As soon as you're done pouring your drink put the pump back on the bottle, pump the pressure back up and stick it back in the fridge.
4. As the amount of soda in the bottle drops, you will have to pump the Fizz Keeper more times.
Here's how many times I pump it: Top 1/3 10 to 12 times. 50% gone ... 18 to 20 times. 1/3 or less left, 30 times. If you don't keep enough air pressure in the bottle, the carbonation will come out of the soda as the level drops and fill the vacuum left in the bottle. I pump the Fizz Keeper until I find it hard to squeeze the bottle in at its sides.
Don't shake the bottle as you pump. This agitates the carbonation and causes it to leave the liquid. Place the bottle on something solid, like a counter, and then start pumping.
5. As you pump, don't bang your Fizz Keeper. If it's making a clapping sound as you pump. You are pumping it too hard. Don't try and draw a full stroke on it, partial (3/4 strokes) will allow it to last as long as possible. Once it starts to crack around the top rim it's done for and you'll have buy a new one.
6. Remove and rinse it with water after the bottle is empty.
I hope the above helps all who are considering buying this little marvel.
I have purchased and used almost all of the various soda keepers on the market and this is the only one I can recommend. You are gonna love it and use it often!
*******
I thought I would add the following. Though Kurt Greske is correct about air being more soluable in water than the carbonation. In a "closed system" like a plastic bottle that process will take some time to occur. Unlike your lungs (which are an open system) the carbonation has to go somewhere; hence the process doesn't occur immediately. It takes some time. As long as you finish the bottle within a couple of weeks I doubt you will even notice what loss does occur. After all, I doubt any of us would want to drink from a soda bottle that was opened two months ago. All I ask the Fizz Keeper to do is extend the life of the soda a reasonable length of time. For me, that's two weeks, maybe less.

Those big jugs of soda make sense economically, but if you don't drink it often enough the beverage can go flat after the initial opening. This pump cap repressurizes the bottle to preserve the fizz.
