Home Smart Samurai Speed Peeler With Madolin Slicer Review

I did not purchase this from Amazon. Big mistake. If I had I would have gotten a much better price! The peeler works well but the julienne peeler that comes with it works ok. You have to be careful. It does not work on everything! The teeth bend. I called Samurai and they do not return calls. By the way they (not Amazon, but Samurai) says they will 'throw in the julienne peeler for free' and you pay shipping and handling. Shipping and handling is almost $9.00 per piece! We paid s/h for two peelers that were shipped in the same box. Now remember this was not purchased from Amazon, and that was our first mistake!

Cuisinart HFP-300 PrepExpress 220-Watt Handheld Electric Food Processors Review

Cuisinart HFP-300 PrepExpress 220-Watt Handheld Electric Food Processors
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a long-standing Cusinart food processor fan for 25 plus years. I couldn't imagine my kitchen without it. So when I discovered this product, I was sure that this would be a time-efficient way to quickly chop an onion without having to use my big Cuisinart food processor. I was confident that it would uphold Cuisinart standards for food processing. NOT THE CASE. Chopping/slicing peppers or onions was completely impossible. Very little came out of the chute as most of the vegetables were turned into a mushy pureed substance trapped between the blade and the round housing. In addition, as soon as the motor is turned on, a burnt odor is emitted leading me to think that the motor is burning out. I do not recommend this product to anyone and I am shocked that Cuisinart would put their name on this piece of junk!

This type of container is excellent. For years, I've used the stay fresh bags and while I got some longer life out of the produce, it was not enough. Enter the FridgeSmart from Tupperware. I can fit an entire Broccoli in the medium size, best of all, it makes it easy to snack (already washed and cut). They are easy to clean as well. The best part of the medium size is the guide that is printed on the side. This will help you determine how many vents need to be opened. I found this guide to be very helpful!

Broccoli, peas, peppers, oranges - virtually any fresh-picked produce will last longer and taste better stored in FridgeSmart containers, our newest and best kitchen innovation ever. You regulate the airflow within the container thanks to a completely unique, new venting system.

Special built-in grid lifts food away from condensation. Result? No more yellow broccoli and wasted celery - just delicious, healthy fruits and vegetables for the whole family to enjoy all week long!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Still, for the price, it's hard to go wrong. If you're starting out, going off to college, equipping a cabin or an RV, looking for knives to use when tailgaiting or camping, etc., these are great. An added bonus is that you'll have the experience to help you decide which of the shapes best suits your preference.
While they aren't professional quality, they're good value for the money. They have a range of blade shapes, making them a versatile set. Their color coding can be useful, too.
WASH promptly after use in hot soap and water, rather than put them in the dishwasher. They'll last longer and stay sharp longer, too. (They'll also set you up with good habits for when you do get the full tang forged versions by Henkel.)

Progressive International Rolling Slicer Review

I have been using a rolling slicer similar to this one for 15 years.
Mine is from a company named EMSON and was made in the 80s. I have been searching
for this tool and finally found it.
I make Tabouli which requires fine-chopping parsley into very fine pieces.
After I do the rough cut, I roll over it (and the mint) with this tool.
Bottom line, it eliminates at least one hour of preparation. It's a great helper for under $10.

World Cuisine 2-3/4-Inch Stainless Steel Potato Peeler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Cooking is my hobby and I spend a lot of time on careful prep work. I have weak closing strength and pain in my hands which makes it hard to impossible to use the conventional rotating or moving blade type of peeler. This type is called a French peeler or fixed blade peeler and it works great by transferring the motion from thumb and fingers to the wrist and lower arm. Yes, it does take a little getting used to but once you master your own technique it's actually much faster and certainly less painful to use.

KitchenAid Professional Cheese/Food Mill Review

KitchenAid Professional Cheese/Food Mill
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought one of these in my search for a good cheese grater to replace my sadly inadequate KitchenAid KG301 rotary model (see reviews on this before buying...they capture the problems well). After using this once, you have to ask: "what were they thinking?" The cutting disks can fit into the device both ways though only one way cuts, the disk is difficult to line up properly in the unit, and frankly doesn't cut well with my main use for parmigiano reggiano...it almost powders it. Worse, the circular hand motion needed to grate is fine for, say, a pepper mill for which only a small amount is needed. For this, the repetitive twisting and small yield are unacceptable.
For those of you like me who have and love the superb and unbeaten KitchenAid stand mixers, this device and the rotary grater are not in anywhere near the same quality and usefulness league.
Another cheese grater of no value to me.

Norpro Stainless Steel Oil Mister Review

Norpro Stainless Steel Oil Mister
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Desperate for an oil mister a few months back, I checked around and found that no mister available anywhere on the Web for less than $25 was getting good reviews. Almost everyone had something bad to say about the mister they'd purchased.
When I found the Norpro 790 on Amazon there were no reviews, but it looked nice and the price was right, so I thought I'd give it a try.
After a few months of use, here are my findings--
Pros:
* Good looking.
* Decent price.
* Stainless steel exterior rather than plastic.
* Good size.
* Works, but...
Cons:
* Like many misters, you can blow out the bottom if you pump it too much.
* In order to get a fine, well-spread mist you have to pump it to the point where you almost blow out the bottom.
* When pumped, the cap will not sit flush. Ruins the look.
* The nozzle itself is not of the best quality.
* Can be inconsistent in its performance for no apparent reason.
So overall, it's okay, but nothing to write home about.

Zyliss Fresh Cut Salad Knife, Green Review

Zyliss Fresh Cut Salad Knife, Green
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a good, inexpensive and versatile knife that can be used as a spreader and server. I stumbled upon it when I needed an inexpensive item to meet the free shipping requirement.
It's good for cutting soft & leafy vegetables (lettuce, tomato), things that can be cut with sawing motion. It will not cut hard vegetable (carrot) that requires chopping motion.
It's particularly handy for making sandwiches. I can use it to spread the condiment, then slice the tomato or sweet pepper, and cut the sandwich in half at the end with just one knife. It's also great for cake, breads, brownies, etc.
It washes well in the dishwasher. A great buy overall!

The lightweight knife features a long, angled blade with an evenly serrated cutting edge. Place your greens on a cutting board and cut. The clean cut allows the leaves to stay green longer rather than quick-browning like torn leaves. It\'s also excellent with cakes, breads and brownies without leaving a trail of crumbs. The handle is long and the curved, ergonomic shape makes cutting easy—keeping your hands comfortable and dry. Crafted of durable white plastic.

This peeler works great. Blade is very sharp and makes peeling fast and easy. Very safe to use. I thought the handle would be too cumbersome as I have small hands, but it's fine. I like the fact that it stands on a shelf so it won't get out of my site and get thrown in the compost like my previous one.
You can use either hand: the blade can be popped out and reversed for lefties (thank you T. Scimone for pointing this out to me).

Before you give up on peeling all together, try the Slice Veggie Peeler. The ultra-sharp, high-tech ceramic blade (yes, ceramic) will make a good impression on any self-respecting potato (or cabbage, carrot, or cucumber). Lightweight ceramics and ergonomic non-slip design mean plenty of energy left to peel tomatoes for gazpacho. Veggie Peeler\'s ceramic blade means it\'s light, clean, and fun to use. And if you loathe the taste of metal in your food, your prayers are answered. Veggie Peeler\'s ceramic blade leaves no after-taste or smell, won\'t brown food, and stays razor sharp long after other peelers with metal blades are history. Designed by renowned designer Karim Rashid. Karim\'s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the British Design Museum in London. A portion of the purchase price of the Slice Veggie Peeler is donated to fund Autism research.

Zyliss Smoothglide Peeler, White Review

Zyliss Smoothglide Peeler, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I treated myself to this vegetable peeler after having used the old, metal kind for years. I've purchased other Zyliss kitchen tools in the past and they do make excellent quality items. Check out their ice cream scoop.
I first used this over the holidays when peeling potatoes for a large group dinner. It was very sharp, had good balance, and was comfortable in my hand. It seemed to take a slightly thicker slice than my old peeler, but was not excessive, and, in my mind, the job being much faster and requiring less effort was a fair trade off. It has the metal "eye" removing tip which is very sharp and works slick. There is also a plastic blade protector on it when new that doesn't stay on well. I'm not sure if it's meant to but it would be nice as it would be easy to slice your finger while searching through the drawer without it being in place.
I highly recommend this vegetable peeler, and Zyliss kitchen tools, if you're looking for an upgrade to your existing ones.

Westmark Mushroom/Egg Slicer Review

Westmark Mushroom/Egg Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this mushroom slicer because the wire egg slicers I had been using don't work very well on mushrooms (the wires end up stretching). I thought the individual blades on this slicer were a great idea, and looked forward to using this time-saving device. However, it turns out to have several fatal flaws in its design and implementation.
First, the "food-safe," "powder-coated" finish started chipping when I first washed it; this was mostly around where the blades attach to the handle, but from the looks of it, the rest will soon follow. Second, the blades don't go all the way through the mushroom, leaving the pieces all attached at the bottom; you have to reach underneath and pull the slices through the rest of the way to complete the slicing action, which seriously reduces this gadget's usefulness. Third, one of the blades bent the first time I used it (simply slicing through mushrooms!); I was able to bend it back into place (for now), but they should be much more solid than that. Finally, the little (ultra-thin) strip of metal that works as a spring to open the slicer is held in place by nothing more than two tiny indentations on each side of the handle; after the first use, the strip was bent in enough to cause it to slip right out. I bent it back the other direction and wedged it back into place, but it's obvious that this cheap design won't survive too many more uses.
At this price, you would expect a mushroom slicer to actually slice mushrooms without suffering damage. The box mentions a "guarantee," but provides no information on what that guarantee is or how to contact the company to offer them the opportunity to stand behind their product; for all I know, they may simply be "guaranteeing" that you're a sucker if you're willing to pay such a ridiculous price for a worthless gadget simply because it's German-made. I suppose that it is the made-in-Germany factor that purports to justify the hefty price of this slicer, but in reality it might as well be made in China.
