Oprah's Ultimate Favorites List 2010
Here is a list of the items from part one of Oprah's Ultimate Favorite Things. I saw the show and thought it wonderful to share the items with you.
Andre Walker Hair Care ProductsShe's had hundreds of different hairdos over the years, but one thing that has remained the same, season after season, is the man behind Oprah's mane: Andre Walker. His new haircare line, which is designed for all hair types, is the only thing Oprah uses. "It took him 25 years, but Andre's finally bottled the magic just for you," she says. This ultimate gift set includes keratin shampoo, keratin conditioner, shine-enhancing Q-oil and root-covering hair makeup.

Baker's Edge Baking Pans and Ghirardelli Brownie MixBaker's Edge Brownie Pan
Who would have thought brownies could get any better? For edge-lovers like Oprah, the Baker's Edge Brownie Pan is the item you've been waiting for. The pan's patented sidewalls add two chewy edges to each brownie, and the single-chamber design allows batter to be spread easily and settle evenly throughout baking—so every serving will be baked to perfection.

Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie Mix
Craving a classic brownie with a sophisticated twist? Blend a dark, moist and rich brownie with real Ghirardelli chocolate chips, and the result is a brownie that's twice as dark, twice as rich, twice as moist—and twice as delicious! "This is the best brownie mix I've found," Oprah says.

Baker's Edge Lasagna Pan
Nothing is more satisfying than a homemade, fresh-from-the-oven lasagna—until the first few servings are removed. Then, the layers slump and the noodles slide all over the pan. Baker's Edge Lasagna Pan puts an end to all of that with its unique sidewalls, which keep noodles and layers neatly stacked, no matter what. It's also sized to fit standard lasagna noodles and is designed so more heat circulates to the pan's middle, where food typically takes longer to bake. It's precise, easy to use and helps create picture-perfect lasagna.

Beecher's "World's Best" Mac 'N' CheeseMade with Beecher's award-winning, one year–aged signature cow's milk cheese and their rich-and-creamy classic Jack cheese, this mac 'n' cheese isn't just for kids. It is conveniently shipped frozen, so all that's left to do when it arrives is toss it in the oven and enjoy a batch of bubbly, hot comfort food. "The best part [is] it comes frozen," Oprah says. "All you have to do is heat it up, and you've got yourself some good eatin' from Beecher's."

Decoded by Jay-Z
Oprah says Jay-Z's book Decoded has given her a whole new perspective and context—and many aha! moments—about the culture of this music. Much more than a memoir, Decoded is a personal homage to hip-hop that includes a collection of lyrics and their meanings, as well as moving essays about topics ranging from Hurricane Katrina to the decline of the music industry. "If you know anybody who loves hip-hip, they are going to love this book," Oprah says.
