IWave Cube Smallest Portable Microwave

The days of family and business trips without the luxuries of home has passed with inventions like the IWave Cube. Taking your microwave with you has become easier with the smallest microwave in the world. The IWave Cube has a carrying handle, settings are also located on the top. Some settings are already programed in the top for popcorn, coffee, and heat pack, etc.. It has a little light inside and the cooking timer is low sounding, which is a great feature for an office or nursery.


When first seeing the IWave Cube I thought it would be perfect for my father. Farming, there's not many food stops or home cooking near by. Many times he just skips lunch. Some of the fields he works in has an power source and he can use the IWave Cube to get a warm meal, quickly, and then be back to work fast. Especially in the winter when they work cotton they are in the field till 1:00 am and I mean it is freezing weather. How perfect to heat up with a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate. Small enough to stay in the tractor or truck:)

It is missing a turn table for even cooking on large items, you will have to rotate package or stir for even heating. It takes a little longer than tradition microwaves but, all in all it does a great job heating. Below you can see it's size compared to the KFC bucket. The bucket will not fit inside of the IWave Cube. This portable microwave actually measures 10.5"W x 10"D x 12"H
Heating cavity is .3 cubic feet (8"W x 8"D x 6"H) 600 watts, and weighs 12 pounds.

Where size matters the IWave Cube World's Smallest Portable Microwave makes a great addition.

Cutting Board USA Review

Every kitchen should have a good cutting board, but even better is a novelty cutting board or two. Cutting Board USA has novelty cutting boards made in Vermont, USA. The cutest boards I have ever seen. Fully functional cutting board can be used for cutting, serving, and decorative wall piece. Many shapes and characters to choose from: Apple, Pig, Cow, Moose, Puzzle and many more.

We had the opportunity to review the 100% reversible Apple Cutting Board. It measures (9 ¼ inches wide) (10 ½ inches tall) (¾ inch thick) turning out to be a sizable working area. I love the designer shape. Importantly, I can to protect my family from cross contamination with veggies and meats. Cutting Board USA has taught me about their FSC eco-friendly boards and how to be eco-conscious chef.

Facts:
According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, more than half of the world’s forests have, as of now, been modified, degraded, destroyed or altered into other land purposes. Many of the enduring forests are being unlawfully exploited and succumb to poor forestry management.

When you purchase wood products such as a wood cutting board that is FSC certified, you can be confident that you are purchasing a cutting board that is manufactured using wood that originated from a forest where FSC defined forestry management principles and criteria have been respected. These regulations envelop everything from legal issues and indigenous rights, to labour rights and environmental impacts of forest management.
