I wanted to let you all know that I am working hard on an article about cookware. I am doing exhaustive research and pouring over this information is taking some time. I want to cover the various materials, all inclusive, how they are presented and sold and what benefits each can provide. Some information is missing on certain materials and I need to gather “new” data to properly categorize the whole spectrum of materials. In a follow-up article, I will deal with the various shapes, sizes and types of pans. In this second part, I will also talk about sets versus “a-la-carte” collections. Later still, I will deal with the controversies surrounding various surfaces so we can make sure to poison ourselves, cause cancer and get Alzheimer’s all in one meal! 
So please be patient and I will have part one of this article as soon as I can.
Happy Cooking!

These appliances really do suck, some better than others. You get what you pay for.
You’ve heard the tag lines “tired of freezer burned meat or rotten cheese and wilted vegetables? Then you need XYZ vacuum food sealer!!!”. The question is do they really work and do they save food?
But why review these here on KitchenBoy? While these appliances aren’t exactly culinary tools, gadgets, cookware or bakeware, they can serve a useful purpose and I wanted or rather needed to know if they were worth the fuss.
The basic operation of the appliance is to place food in some kind of bag or another, or between two pieces of plastic and remove as much oxygen as possible. Seems obvious no?

I wanted to write and thank all of you who have visited my blog here in the first two weeks. Your comments and positive feedback have been great. I have put your suggestions for future blog entries on my to-do-list.
Speaking of which, having posted on topics such as bakeware and tools, I thought I would write a quick discussion on a useful tool for your kitchen, vacuum sealer appliances. Then, I am going to write a multi-part blog on cookware. I want to discuss the metals used in cookware, the advantages or benefits of each type. Next, talk a little about which pans one might need and how to make the right choices. The topic of cookware can be challenging and confusing, but I hope that I can explain in such a way that simplifies the technical aspects and makes it more approachable. Hey, if I can put my simple noodle around this, then so can you. This little series may not be consecutive, but we will see.
After that, I am going to move onto egg poaching/cooking. I want to look at the tools or gadgets used in doing this. There are some items that might be considered cookware (it certainly isn’t bakeware), I may even touch on the electric appliances one can use to cook those eggs.
I also want to cover a topic, that will also be multi-part, on the whys of various terms used in tools, gadgets, cookware and bakeware. Why do we call a specific item this name and not that? These terms can vary depending on region and culture.
So again, thanks and stayed tuned for more.
