Good Housekeeping Tests "The Goods"

The October issue of Good Housekeeping has arrived, and while I can't say I would normally find myself perusing its pages, I did come across their no-nonsense product reviews, titled "The Goods," and found myself wanting to share. This month's "what to buy, what to skip" section featured Celebrity Cookware, and while it was only a matter of time before the chefs we see on our TV would have more than recipes to sell us, a few items are both economical and well-made, according to the GH testers.

Among them, Mario Batali's Mozzarella Slicer, Nigella Lawson's robin's egg blue Kitchen to Oven Tableware, and Rachael Ray's famous 8 Quart Oval Pot, which watchers of her show will no doubt recognize - but whose sole drawback, according to the GH testers, is that it's so big, it doesn't fit on one burner. A small price to pay, they say.

Also featured in this month's issue, getting ready for Halloween (is it that time of year already?), and cleaning up shaving cream, eggs, and more, the day after the semi-dreaded holiday. (A yardstick wrapped in duct tape - with the sticky side out - makes a great weapon against toilet-papered trees, should you be so lucky.) Now, I know magazines have a far-reaching editorial schedule, but I honestly can't think about Halloween just yet - not until Summer is really, officially over. According to my calendar, anyway, and not the weather.
