What type of washer do I need?
If you are buying a replacement washer, you’ll probably choose the same type. If you are moving into a new home, remodeling or just looking for a change, you’ll want to choose a washer that fits the washer/dryer configuration you prefer; either side-by-side or stacked.

They come in both stationary models and portable versions which can be stored in a closet and rolled to a nearby sink for use. Full-sized washers are now available in either top-loading or front-loading models. Front loaders can be placed under counters or stacked under a dryer, and save on energy costs. They are more expensive to purchase [...]

Toast Tattoos – Etch That Toast

30-376.jpg

We love things in the kitchen that add instead of subtract to the food being eaten, and these Toast Tattoos fit the bill. You can express your love or send a birthday wish with the undeniable romantic appeal of toast. Just press this plastic I Love You or Happy Birthday message with the Toast Tattoos into a piece of bread, then put your bread in the toaster on a dark setting. The resulting toast will be emblazoned with the proclamation of your infatuation or your birthday wish. We think long term the “I love you” will probably get the most use in the early mornings.

Pyrex Digital Timer – Turn and Time

70950044799.jpg

We’ve been using this rather simple yet amazing timer for over the past week (see us using it at Single Serve Coffee in a recent review), and are wondering why someone didn’t invent this timer sooner. Well – Pyrex did. Yes the same company that makes all those dishes makes this digital timer and clock. How does it work? Simply twist to set the PYREX Digital Timer by twisting the dial and pushing down. We love how small yet big the button is – that’s because the entire face is the button you push down.

Single-push on/off
Built-in magnets for fridge mounting
Large face dial for easy reading
Repeating alarm until turned off
