relevant for those of you that have big families or kids but my wife and i you know most everything that we cook fits inside of the toaster oven we find ourself only using our regular full oven maybe two or three times an entire year as you can see from the video clips ours has seen a little bit better days it's definitely used and abused we use it every single day for going on seven years now and that thing is just absolutely amazing you know breville generally makes pretty good high quality stuff but even outside of this specific model i would highly recommend you check into toaster ovens you can replace a convection oven regular oven air fryer toaster it does so many things and is so much more energy efficient it is an essential piece in our home kitchen next up i want to share a newer item of mine and the sponsor of today's video and that is the lark pitcher pureviz the lark pitcher uses the same proprietary uvc technology that the lark bottles have but it also has a physical filter as well so what that means you get some of the cleanest and safest drinking water you could possibly drink but it's also so delicious portland is notorious for having really great drinking water i was so pleasantly surprised to see that the water actually tastes even better filtering it through the lark pitcher compared to just straight out of the tap on top of the great filtering and the great taste they do also have an app that pairs with it you know with some smart technology so you can actually track the life and the health of your filter you can track the battery life so it'll let you know if you need to recharge the uvc battery inside it can also actually track your drinking habits as well so it'll measure how much water is being filtered out so it'll measure how much water you're drinking on a daily basis this is really great for someone that might be struggling to get enough water into their normal day to day but for me who already drinks a ton of water it's just fun to see the stats i'm a big stack guy it also comes in really handy if you're someone that's really advanced into you know things like tea and coffee you know having quality water is a huge component to having good tasting coffee and good tasting tea that's often overlooked or if you're someone like me that also makes a lot of cocktails at home and i actually make big bricks of ice and hand cut big ice blocks having filtered water just makes the ice taste a lot better for drinks as well so really good to stay hydrated but also can be really good if you're an aficionado of cocktails or coffee or tea so i want to give a huge thanks to lark for sponsoring today's video and if you are in need of a new pitcher i would highly suggest you check this one out it is the best i've ever used by far and be sure to check the link in the description if you want to learn more or leave me a comment if you have any questions next up we have my oldest item on the essentials list but luckily it is still available and for sale if anyone needs it and that is my cuisinart temperature controlled kettle i think it's called the cp-NUMBER_TOKEN it's a NUMBER_TOKEN liter kettle that has full temperature controls ranging from NUMBER_TOKEN degrees fahrenheit
START_SPONSOR_TOKEN kitchen next up i want to share a newer item of mine and the sponsor of today's video and that is the lark pitcher pureviz the lark pitcher uses the same proprietary uvc technology that the lark bottles have but it also has a physical filter as well so what that means you get some of the cleanest and safest drinking water you could possibly drink but it's also so delicious portland is notorious for having really great drinking water i was so pleasantly surprised to see that the water actually tastes even better filtering it through the lark pitcher compared to just straight out of the tap on top of the great filtering and the great taste they do also have an app that pairs with it you know with some smart technology so you can actually track the life and the health of your filter you can track the battery life so it'll let you know if you need to recharge the uvc battery inside it can also actually track your drinking habits as well so it'll measure how much water is being filtered out so it'll measure how much water you're drinking on a daily basis this is really great for someone that might be struggling to get enough water into their normal day to day but for me who already drinks a ton of water it's just fun to see the stats i'm a big stack guy it also comes in really handy if you're someone that's really advanced into you know things like tea and coffee you know having quality water is a huge component to having good tasting coffee and good tasting tea that's often overlooked or if you're someone like me that also makes a lot of cocktails at home and i actually make big bricks of ice and hand cut big ice blocks having filtered water just makes the ice taste a lot better for drinks as well so really good to stay hydrated but also can be really good if you're an aficionado of cocktails or coffee or tea so i want to give a huge thanks to lark for sponsoring today's video and if you are in need of a new pitcher i would highly suggest you check this one out it is the best i've ever used by far and be sure to check the link in the description if you want to learn more or leave me a comment if you have any END_SPONSOR_TOKEN
