You see….Serendipity Deals sells several types of products.  One of the lines we carry is Kitchen Stir.  We recently received one of these products the Chef’s Stir Pan: Stir Cooker (Model # KS1000)

I wanted this product because my wife is an INCREDIBLE cook and I thought this would make her life easier.  Especially when she makes Alfredo sauce, which requires constant stirring for about 30 minutes.  This product is supposed to continually stir while it cooks your food.  I figured “Hey…this would be great for that”.

Here’s what it looks like.

Now, we opened this up and looked over the recipes that come with it (I also have several recipes available in my email if anyone needs them).  My wife decided that she wanted to make the Cashew Chicken dinner.  Wow!  My favorite dinner at the Chinese Restaurant but made in my house!  I looked over the directions, simple step by step instructions were included with this product.  It said, turn on the stir cooker and let it preheat for 30 seconds to get to the required temperature.  30 seconds?  Are you kidding?  Apparently not….that puppy got hot…and it got hot fast!

Now….my wife never follows directions to the line.  She decides that she really wants to test this product out.  After all, we sell it…let’s make sure we can really trust it when our customers buy it.  She decides to make DOUBLE the recipe…and add a few more ingredients!  I’m a little nervous here…it’s chicken that’s she’s cooking….that NEEDS to be cooked thoroughly!  Well, she doubles that up anyways, then she also uses snow peas and sliced mushrooms, and of course the cashews.   Now…let me be clear, this was not filled to the brim with heavy chunks of food, but the recipe itself was doubled.  She had that cooker going, and you can see the sauce bubbling (she used low sodium soy sauce, chicken broth mixed with corn starch to make it thicker, and fish sauce) and my house smelled like a Chinese Restaurant.  I stood there watching as the chicken (which was at the bottom to start) was mixed with the rest of the ingredients WHILE being cooked….and eventually it was just one pot of great smelling ingredients all mixed together nicely.  When I say eventually…I’m talking 10 minutes or less.  Yea….it was that fast.

So, anyway, she separately made brown rice on the stove top to go with it.  After the rice was done (which took three times longer than the main course) she put the rice on our plates and we scooped up some chicken and cashews.  I took one bite and told my wife that we no longer need to order out for me to get my favorite meal (although I’ll still need to get my Dim Sum).

Later Friday night I looked through the recipe book at a few things….it was written so simply that I actually feel like I could get the ingredients and make almost any dish in there.  I’m going to start with a dessert I think…they had Caramel Almonds listed in there…I think I’ll make that and add some cinnamon and nutmeg.

Oh…one other neat thing….there are actually recipes for granola bars and such!  Yes!  I can make my own snacks, and snacks for my son for school!!!

I have to say, my favorite answer when someone asks me if I can cook used to be “I burn cold cereal”…..but now…I can say “I can stir cook!”.

Look….you read this far into my story….I’ll give you an exclusive gift for getting here.  If you like what you read and you want one yourself I’ll save you some money on it.  I have an exclusive coupon code for my readers that only works on the two Kitchen Stir products listed at Serendipity Deals.   Just go there with one of the links I provided…add the product to your cart….Log In or Register if you haven’t yet….when you get to Step 2 add the coupon code “NFMBLOG” (without the quotes) into the section for the coupon code.  That will give you $20 off the sale price!  You can then check out from there with any major credit/debit card (processed through PayPal) or with Paypal itself.

For those of you that like to cook….or that want something healthier than a microwave but just as easy…I can tell you with 100% certainty that I stand behind this product and would not recommend it if I thought it wasn’t one of the best products on Serendipity Deals.  In fact, if I had any doubts about it at all it wouldn’t even be on the store!  Why would I sell something I don’t believe in?
