I spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking, which I usually enjoy. I love trying new foods, recipes and kitchen gadgets trying to come up with meals that are tasty but also quick and easy to clean up after. There is not a lot of gourmet French cuisine and flambeed with kitchen torches...I don't have that kind of time! I was recently given the chance to try out a couple of products from
Ozeri, a manufacturer of many products for the modern home. If you have never heard of Ozeri, here is some information about them from their website:

For my review, I was sent the electronic Artesio Electric Pepper Grinder shown above. This is a durable ceramic grinder made with a fingerprint resistant exterior and a very elegant design. It has a built in light at the bottom for low light dining and an easy to adjust grind adjustor.
My opinion? I like the look of this grinder and it is very comfortable and very light weight to hold. This is the first electric grinder I have used (we have a manual one right now) and there were things I liked about it and a few things I would change. I had no trouble taking it apart and putting the batteries and pepper corns in, although had a little bit of difficulty reassembling. Once I got it back together, I thought the unit worked very well. It has a push button activated grinder which is great when I have one hand stirring or covered in something I don't want on my grinder. I thought the well for peppercorns was a little small considering how much pepper I go through in my house. I think I will save this for 'specialty' peppercorns like the multicolored or other exotic blends I sometimes see. I thought it was a little loud but I am not used to an electric grinder so it could be totally normal.
I also received the 12 inch
ceramic frying pan to try out. It is covered in a PTFE free and PFOA free ceramic coating that contains no harmful metals or chemicals. It offers a very durable and scratch resistant non stick surface. It has an oven safe handle and is very easy to clean.
My opinion? I was very pleased with this pan. It seems very sturdy and well made and the interior surface was large enough for me to fry 4 fish fillets without crowding. Cleanup was amazingly easy...just a smidge of soap, hot water and a sponge...no scrubbing required at all! Really loved it and it will certainly make cleanup go quickly!
