Martha Stewart Collection Plastic Chopper Review

Martha Stewart Collection Plastic Chopper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
You've probably seen a similar product to this one on an infomercial. However, this Martha Stewart one is heads above the "as seen on TV" version of this product. This chopper can be used two ways. You can chop veggies, nuts, fruit, cheese, and more either by placing it over the food on a cutting board, or you can go with the board by simply leaving the bottom on the plastic container for self-contained chopping. Not only that, but there is an extra lid provided that allow you to store the chopped food right inside the clear plastic contain until it is needed. The chopper also has a handy piece that prevents food from getting lodged deep inside the plunger, so clean up is easy. I deducted one star from my rating, because the first time disassembling and reassembling the device will most likely be a bit tricky. However, it's a breeze once you get the hang of it. It cleans up easily too. Overall, I would recommend this over the infomercial chopper any day.

The Presto LeverEdge Cutting Center works great! I can now cut winter squash without being afraid that I will cut myself. I used to hate cooking hard vegetables like acorn squash and rutabaga because they are almost impossible to cut up. It is super easy with this cutter. I also used the Presto Cutting Center to cut up big chunks of chocolate for making chocolate covered peanuts.

As its name claims, it is a chopper. I bought this to make some baby foods, but no matter how long I push the button, it won't purée anything.
If you want a chopper, this does a good job. But if you expect more, maybe you shouldn't buy it.

Braun MR430HC Multiquick Deluxe Hand Blender & Chopper Review

Braun MR430HC Multiquick Deluxe Hand Blender and Chopper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Here's an instance of bad luck turned good; we moved and of course, the box of kitchen stuff failed to turn up and my older model Braun hand blender was gone. I had to purchase a new one, so I got another Braun because I loved my old one.
Well, this is certainly an improved model over the one I bought 10 years ago. IMMENSELY improved, and I love it so much I am, well, looking for things to beat up. Like pureed vegetable soups, frozen yogurt mix for the freezer, you name it.
Here's what has been made so much better:
1. The attachments that used to come with the Braun were run by the actual cutting blade. With this model, you can remove the blade portion of the stalk and screw the motor shaft onto the mini-chopper or whisk. I just love that!! The older chopper was hard to use because you had to hold it carefully in the socket designed for the blade to run the shaft. That's not a problem here --now the shaft of the blades are directly connected to the motor. A huge improvement.
2. The removable stalk means you can thoroughly clean the blade portion without worrying about submersing the motor part (a no-no for any electrical appliance.)
3. Because the motor is able to be detached from the blades, it is now more powerful--before, the motor seemed "dumbed down" to be able to run the mini-chopper. This new model motor kicks serious batter. In fact, it is so strong, make SURE YOU HAVE IT SUBMERGED in the puree before you run it or you will be spewing gazpacho all over your white kitchen. (I made gazpacho. I have a white kitchen. I know whereof I speak.)
4. The price, for this gem, is incredible. You get a whisk, a mini-chopper, the blender and a mixing beaker and a hanger for the wall if you want to mount it.
5. The one bad point: the motor is VERY strong, so if you have muscular weakness, carpal tunnel syndrome, or some kind of disability that challenges your hand control, I would recommend the variable speed model which goes from slow to fast. It is more money, but if you are physically challenged, it will prevent you from splashing hot soup as you puree it in the pot.
Otherwise, I can't recommend this enough. It is the most-used item I have in my kitchen.

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.

Emson Chop Genie Food Chopper As Seen on tv
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Chopper is only useful for soft things like garlic and herbs. The blades bend easily out of place when chopping anything substantial like carrots, nuts etc. You have to bend the blades back by hand in order to get it reassembled after cleaning. This poses a risk of injury, and it is not easy to get the in the exact position to fit the blade guide. Unfortunately, I could not return it because I didn't save the original box.
If you only need it for garlic, herbs and the like, it should serve you well. Otherwise,Emson Chop Genie Food Chopper As Seen on tv I would go for another chopper with stronger blades.

Starfrit Manual Food Processor Review

Starfrit Manual Food Processor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I decided to purchase this product, there were only two reviews and both were all right, so I thought I would give it a try. I was specifically looking for something to chop organic matter just a little bit smaller before it went out into the compost bucket on my back porch. In other words, I was not looking for food to be cut very small or uniformly and this processor still doesn't perform-- even after I do most of the chopping for it first. Instead of real chopping blades, it simply has two razor blades. They don't cut much, but after just a few spins they invariably get stuck on something really tough. You know. Like a leaf of spinach or piece of pear. The manufacturers should have just saved the plastic and left the nonskid ring off the bottom; it works so poorly for keeping the processor in place, I exert more effort holding it in place than I do turning the handle.
Don't waste the money on this one!

Oneida Polished Black Mandolin Interchangable Slicer Review

Oneida Polished Black Mandolin Interchangable Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The product cuts well and makes french fries pretty well. I bought this for cutting potatoes and all remarks are based on that use. The problem I had with it is the reverse end of the cutting blade... It's not flat to the slide bed when installed for normal (non-crinkle) cutting. This means that when you have made a cut and are sliding the food back up the ramp for the next cut (the back stroke), the bulged up crinkle blade grabs the food and grates a bit of it off adding a lot of drag. This would also make very thin slices impossible because they always have one side damaged by the curved crinkle blade. If you know someone with a bench vise and thick leather gloves the blade could probably be corrected. Always be careful when handling the blade for any reason, it is very sharp.
Another issue that might cause a problem for people cutting thick slices is the location of the knob that holds the main blade in place... dead center so your thick slices will run right into it as they are being cut. This increases the force you must use and damages your thick slices.
All in all I would not buy this product if I had this information in advance, no reviews where available when I ordered. I am a handy person and have corrected the first problem above and I think I can live with the second issue, so I will not be returning the item. I really expected better from Oneida, but you do get what you pay for in the end. The only mandolins I have ever used were restaurant grade and you can expect to pay at least $100 for one of those models. If you plan on using the slicer a lot, spend the money for a good, well-reviewed product.

Northern Industrial Tools Deluxe French Fry Cutter Review

Northern Industrial Tools Deluxe French Fry Cutter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I looked all over the web for a French Fry cutter and found nothing but cheap junk that could not accommodate a whole potato. Not only that but every review I saw said that the fry cutter broke, bent, or was rendered useless before 5 potatoes had been sliced.
Then I found the Northern Industrial Tools DeLuxe fry cutter. It looked impressive and sounded as if it could do the job with more damage to the potato than the cutter. As it turns out, that is an understatement.
This commercial tool is a monster. It is larger and much heavier than I would have guessed. It is made from heavy cast aluminum with steel nuts and bolts, and steel cutter blades. The guide bars even have plastic slider bushings for quiet and smooth operation. If you were to drop this thing onto concrete, I would be willing to bet that the concrete would fare worse than this tool. It weighs 8 pounds and is an industrial grade tool. I cannot imagine how this thing showed up broken as in the other review. I had to tighten a couple of bolts, and mount it to the wall, but I cannot fathom how this item was broken in transit.
This fry cutter will EASILY accept a 6 inch (and larger) potato. This beast makes short work of twenty full size russet potatoes (sold individually as baking potatoes in the supermarket). The long lever arm requires a long pull to get the job done, but the leverage you generate to cut through the spuds (with skins on) in a single pull is impressive and makes the task relatively easy.
The cutter ships with two blades, one for 3/8 inch square, and one for 1/2 inch square. The "pusher block" and cutter blade assemblies must be swapped out to change between sizes. This is done by removing wing nuts to pull out the cutter blade assembly, removing machine screws that hold the "pusher block", and installing the other blades and pusher. It was never built for quickly changing sizes. It will take a few minutes and some basic hand tools.
I would have given 5 stars if the cutter were easier to mount and/or clean.
This industrial tool must be mounted to a wall with four screws (not included) to make it stable and safe to operate. My guess is that this unit was designed to be mounted directly above a fryer so as the potatoes are sliced they fall into the hot grease along with potato juice.
When you cut a spud, the juice sprays a little bit, and the frame, slides, guide, and cutter blades get pretty much covered with sticky, starchy goo. If you are outdoors or in an industrial kitchen, you could just spray the unit down with a hose to clean it. In a home kitchen, a spray down is impractical. This is the reason I gave this cutter only 4 stars.
Each of the holes to mount this beast to the wall is just that, a hole. To really clean the cutter, you need to completely remove each and every one of the mounting screws from the wall. If all of the holes were counter bored slots, designed to quickly mount and un-mount the cutter, I would have gladly given this monster 5 stars.
If you buy this you will never buy another fry cutter. But be forewarned that it takes no small effort to swap cutter size, likewise to mount and clean this industrial grade kitchen tool in a residential kitchen.
BTW, the BEST fries are made by blanching at 325F for 6-8 minutes, then remove them from the oil. Crank up the grease to 375F and dunk them in small batches for 2 minutes to brown them up. Heaven on Earth.

Seriously - I am still chopping vegetables manually.
This thing is good to make a mess or puree of anything you have.
You can use it sometimes if you cook for yourself only and don't mind the look of results, although even in this case you will arguably spend more time cleaning the chopper.
So, honestly, you don't want this. Buy a good knife or a grater.

The Kyocera adjustable mandoline slicer is an excellent product! I have used mine for almost 1 year and have no major complaints, the only one being that Kyocera could have designed the guard to snap in place covering the blade for storage. I keep mine in the plastic "dome" that it was packaged in. It is definitely VERY SHARP, so use the guard. It will effortlessly slice any vegetable: onions, cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, etc.. Easy to use, no assembly, etc. Highly recommended.

Average Reviews:

We use a lot of garlic on a daily basis in most of our dinners. This was a cute gadget we got for a gift, and I was curious to see if it worked better then my other garlic chopping methods.
For a REALLY big lot of garlic, I use my Ninja Food Master Prep. Otherwise for everyday cooking, depending on the size I need the garlic, I will either use a microplane which is fast and efficient, or a good sharp knife. I personally like to do chopping and prep work, so I didn't neccessarily need a "garlic gadget".
While this item works fine, it only does a couple cloves at a time, and seems like a total pain to scrap out over and over. If it was larger, it would make sense. It might be a nice accessory to have for someone who only likes a hint of gasrlic, but for the garlic lover, look elsewhere.

Oxo Good Grips Herb Mincer Review

Oxo Good Grips Herb Mincer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Being pretty handy with a knife, I generally avoid products like this, but I was looking for another item to fulfill the 4 for 3 promotion and decided to get this. I'm surprised at how good it works as it does a much better job of chopping thyme and rosemary than I can with a knife. With thyme, I would remove the woody portion of the stem and chop it as finely as possible with my knife but still would have little pieces of stems that I couldn't get. Since the mincer can be moved over the herbs in different directions without lifting it from the work surface, all of the pieces get chopped or minced, and the lip on the handle allows you to scrape the herbs back to the center for mincing. The mincer can be held comfortably and securely in your hand, and it is easy to use, and just as with a knife, the herbs can be chopped coarse or fine. I have used it on thyme, sage, rosemary, parsley and cilantro with excellent results.
When the herbs accumulate on the blade, the mincer can be opened to give the blades a quick clean, and it can be disassembled for cleaning. I clean mine with a nylon bristle brush and a quick rinse under the faucet.
Though this sturdy and compact unit isn't a must have item for the kitchen, it does come in handy if you like to cook with fresh herbs.
