I am really becoming a fan of the EcoZoom Versa stove. With a bit of practice you start to get really great temperature control. For something like browning sausage or other meat I would really prefer this to the electric range any day of the week and of course it will work anytime, anywhere, anyplace.

The individual sovereign much accept that if they fail the … Continue reading →
