Wood Mixing Bowls for KitchenAid: Styling a Dark Green Mixer

KitchenAid does not sell the wood bowls in this roundup. Every one of them is a third-party acacia bowl made to fit KitchenAid 4.5 and 5 quart tilt-head stand mixers, and the real question is which fit, finish and features suit your setup. If you have a dark green KitchenAid mixer, acacia’s warm browns are…

Frigidaire Nugget Ice Makers: Chewable Ice for Every Game Night

If you want soft, chewable ice at home, a Frigidaire crushed ice maker is really a nugget ice maker: a countertop machine that freezes thin layers of ice and presses them into airy pellets that crunch instead of crack. Every nugget model below plugs into a standard outlet, needs no water line, and starts dropping…

Ovente Panini Presses Ranked for Fast Game-Break Snacks

An Ovente panini grill is one of the quickest ways to turn bread, cheese and whatever is in the fridge into a hot meal during a short break between matches.

Antarctic Star Nugget Ice Makers Ranked for Game Night Drinks

First, the name. People often search for an “Arctic Star” ice maker, but the brand on these listings is Antarctic Star, sometimes written as AntarcticStar.

White KitchenAid Stand Mixers: Tilt-Head vs Bowl-Lift Compared

A white KitchenAid stand mixer comes down to one design choice and one size choice. Tilt-head mixers hinge back so you can reach into the bowl easily, and suit most home baking. Bowl-lift mixers raise the bowl to a fixed head, lock it at three points and, per KitchenAid’s listings, deliver more power in the…

Looking for a 10-Quart KitchenAid? The Biggest Mixers Compared

If you are searching for a 10-quart KitchenAid stand mixer to feed a whole game night, here is the honest answer: among the KitchenAid mixers covered here, the largest bowl is 8 quarts, not 10.

Oklahoma Joe’s Smokers Ranked: Offset, Drum and Dual Fuel

Blaze King Wood Stove Parts: Catalysts, Fans and Thermostats

If you searched for Blaze King wood stoves for sale, here is the honest picture: the listings we found are not stoves. They are replacement parts and upgrades for Blaze King stoves you already own, from catalytic combustors to convection fans and thermostats. None of them are made by Blaze King itself; they come from…

Bialetti Moka Pots Ranked: Fuel for Late-Night Gaming Sessions

Bialetti espresso machines are not pump machines: they are stovetop moka pots that push hot water through ground coffee using steam pressure from the boiler. The result is a strong, concentrated coffee that sits between drip and true espresso, and it is exactly the kind of brew that keeps you sharp through a late raid…

KitchenAid Food Processors and Choppers: Pick the Right Size

KitchenAid processors come in two families: full food processors with slicing and shredding discs and big feed tubes, and compact food choppers that chop, mince and puree in a small bowl.

Frigidaire Self-Cleaning Bullet Ice Makers for Game Night

If you want a Frigidaire bullet ice maker that makes about 26 lbs of ice per day and helps with its own cleaning, your two clearest options are the Frigidaire Portable Countertop Ice Maker (model EFIC127SSSC) and the Frigidaire EFIC103-AMZ-SC, because they are the only models here whose listings actually say “self-cleaning.” The rest of…

Maxx Ice Freestanding Ice Makers for Home Bars and Game Rooms

A Maxx Ice freestanding ice maker makes sense when a bag of gas-station ice runs out halfway through the second match of the night. These are self-contained machines that make fresh ice all day and store it in a built-in bin, and most of them can stand alone or slide under a counter. The main…

Nexgrill Portable Grills for Tailgates and Outdoor Game Days

A Nexgrill portable grill makes sense when your plans include a parking lot, a campsite or a backyard watch party before the big game. The right one depends on how you like to cook and how much you want to carry: a tabletop gas grill lights fast and packs small, a charcoal barrel adds smoky…

The Juniper KitchenAid Artisan and the Mixers That Rival It

If you want a Juniper KitchenAid mixer, the one to buy is the KitchenAid Artisan 5-quart tilt-head stand mixer, model KSM150PS, in Juniper.
