I developed a four-part rating system based on 1-4 stars to rate all of the appliances and gadgets I have tried:
FUNCTIONALITY: easy to use? easy to store? easy to clean?
DESIGN/FASHION SENSE: does it have counter appeal? does it have quality parts or will it break?
FREQUENCY/BREADTH OF USE: can I make a lot of “stuff” with this? is this a week long love affair or is this a must have kitchen staple?
COST VALUE RATIO: is it worth the money?
Here is a list of all the kitchen gadgets I have reviewed on this website:
