Chef Remi's Cooking Thermometer Review
Chef Remi's Cooking Thermometer is a very nice thermometer. It is a digital thermometer, it's about 9 inches long. The probe is about 6 inches long, so it is great for even large turkeys or hams It comes in a plastic tube, which I love, My gadget drawer is filled to capacity, but storing the thermometer in the tube I don't have to worry about it getting turned on and draining the battery, I don't have to worry about the LCD screen getting broken, nor do I have to worry about the probe getting bent. Batteries are included!!
This is great because you no longer need a meat thermometer, a candy thermometer, and any other thermometer, this one is a total food thermometer. So you just need this one, I can clean a few things out of that gadget drawer now.
This digital Thermometer reads in both Fahrenheit and Celsius and has a range of-58°F to 572ºF (-50ºC to 300°C). I cleaned mine with a warm soapy cloth and rand the probe under hot water to rinse. Being digital it is not dishwasher safe.
I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.

Calming the Chaos
Q. You wrote a book called Calming the Chaos. That seems to
be the most compelling topic these days. Everyone seems to be in chaos! How do
you understand that and do you address this in the book?
A. Yes, I call it the cultural paradigm we are living in.
Everyone is “crazy busy.” I point to a few factors to help people realize that
this is not a personal weakness, but a cultural experience that we are having.
This is the “information era” and 90% of the world’s data has been created in
the last 3 years. The rate of data and information being created is
accelerating at increasing rates. We are all undergoing “Information Fatigue” –
constantly being inundated with more info, Tweets, posts and news. It is
exhausting to try to keep up or process it all. “Having it all” has been
up-leveled by “doing it all.”
Q. You address this in an interesting way in the book
talking about why being “busy” is a bust. Say more about that?
A. Everyone is so busy that it is not even remotely
interesting any longer! It doesn’t feel good to hear it from other people and
we don’t feel good when we say it, and yet everyone walks around saying “I’m so
busy!” It is a very low consciousness, low energy phrase. What people don’t
realize is that there is a set of characteristics that go with being busy that
we need to train ourselves out of. Those are things such as being disorganized,
uncertain, scattered, stressed and overwhelmed. When people realize that they
are in fact contributing to the “crazy busy” syndrome, it is the beginning of
being able to change it.
Q. What do you suggest instead?
A. In the book, I write about being productive rather than
busy. Just like there is an energy to the “I’m so busy” phrase, there is also
an energy to the word “productive.” Right away most people can see and feel
that “productive” feels better. It denotes being accomplished, organized,
orderly, planned and focused. Anyone can develop the skill set that goes with
being productive. It just takes an understanding of the difference and for
people to see how much they are contributing to their crazy busy life.
Q. So how do people develop the skill of productivity?
A. There are many ways, but some of them are
o
Plan your day
o
Stop multitasking, but work in a focused way for
60-90 minutes at a time on something before shifting their attention and energy
onto something else.
o
Take breaks between focused work sessions. Stop
using mental focus for 10-15 minutes and get up, walk around, listen to music,
call a friend or do some deep breathing and light stretching.
o
Turn off alarms, alerts and pop-ups.
o
Don’t answer the phone during the focused work
periods.
o
Review your scheduled plan at the end of the day
and move anything forward into another day and time slot of when you will
accomplish anything you did not get to.
Q. What surprised you most about writing this book?
A. I never really can tell if my writing is any good when I
am in the middle of it. It’s just my own mind mulling over the same writing
over and over again. What has been a lovely surprise is the incredibly good
feedback I have gotten from people far and wide on how this book and the
exercises in it have really helped to inspire people to change and calm the
chaos in their lives!

These salad cups are great. They hold about 2 cups of salad or fruit. There are 2 in the set. You get the salad cups and lids, you also get 2 dressing cups, and 2 forks. They all fit together for on the go.
they keep your salad or fruit from going soft, they are great for taking a lunch to work or school, also great for taking on picnics.
They are 100% recyclable and BPA free.
They are really easy to use. Put your salad in the large cup, pour your dressing into the small dressing cup, put the dressing cup into the salad cup lid, slide the fork down the side groove and off you go. At lunch time remove the salad lid, pour the dressing in, put the lid back on, shake, and enjoy.
