Product Review

It has been a while since I've done a review of new/favorite products that I've tried recently, but wait no more - I've got a few to talk about today!

Method Laundry Detergent

I have been using this detergent now for a couple of months and I LOVE it for several reasons!  First of all, it is a green product, made using 95% natural and renewable ingredients, it's readily biodegradable and non-toxic in use, for skin-friendly clean clothes (from methodlaundry.com).  It is also ultra-concentrated so a few squirts go a long way!

 And speaking of squirts, I love the pump packaging because it is so convenient.  I can pretty much do laundry with one hand and it doesn't leave the sticky mess that the traditional laundry detergent bottles and caps do.

So far, I've only tried the peony blossom scent, but I have no reason to try the others because I like it so much.  I also think the soap washes our clothes just as well as any other product as I have not noticed our clothes looking dingy.

My rating: ****


Method Home Dish Pump

Obviously, I love this product for most of the same reasons as I love the laundry soap - green product, convenient and nice smelling.  However, I can't say that it gets frothy or sudsy enough for my liking.  It seems I've had to use more than two squirts to wash dishes and by the end, I basically have water with a few little bubbles.  Maybe that isn't a big deal to some people, but for my personal satisfaction I like lots of bubbles.

Slice Solutions Brownie Pan

I received this lovely brownie pan as a birthday gift this year and so far I have been impressed with it.  It is obviously a genius idea because cutting brownies can be a bit tricky so this takes out all of the guess work.

I first tried the brownie pan with a new brownie recipe and the recipe ended up being a disaster, therefore the pan really couldn't do it's job.  I tried it again this week with a tried and true recipe and I was very pleased.  The brownies didn't stick, the little insert came out without any problems and the pan was surprisingly easy to wash.

My only complaint might be how fast the brownies dry out since they are pre-sliced.  This isn't the pan's problem, it is a consumption problem.  Next time, if I'm making brownies for just Brandon and myself, I will probably not use the pan because we can't eat the brownies fast enough, but if I make them for small group or a party, I will definitely use the pan!
