KitchenAid Professional Cheese/Food Mill Review

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.

KitchenAid KG301 Rotary Grater, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was so excited to buy this for my Mom who has arthritis.
She said that she couldn't get it to work, but I figured that it was just because of her arthritis ... but it's not. I don't have arthritis and I couldn't get it to work either. It's just too flimsy and too clumsy. In order to slice cheese you have to put in something like a 1 inch by 1 inch square and then it sorta lobs off pieces .. very impractical!

Use the slicing blade to cut hard vegetables, cukes, potatoes, and hard cheeses. The coarse blade is ideal for grating root vegetables such as fennel, beets, turnips and parsnips. And last but not least the fine blade will make bread crumbs, grate nutmeg, chocolate, and hard cheeses. The handle holds the food in place while the arm controls the grating.

Cuisipro Accutec Razor-Sharp Kitchen Rasp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just got this grater and I was blown away with how sharp it is! It makes grating so easy. At first I was a little skeptical about the manufacture's claim to having razor sharp teeth but now that I've tried it - I know they are for real. The grater seems to effortlessly shave through everything without tearing or shredding the food. And b/c it was so effortless, I could just hold the grater over my food and grate right onto it. I would highly recommend this grater and will definitely be looking to getting some of their other graters. Cuisipro well done!

Oxo Good Grips PRO Grater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this grater last night for the first time with some pasta and was amazed at the quantity of cheese it produced in just a couple of strokes. I've always found something to dislike about cheese graters, such as cleaning them or the way you have to hold them when grating, but so far I can't find any faults with this design.
The grater has a surprising amount of heft that's concentrated in the handle. The grating surface does not feel flimsy, although I did notice some deflection if you press hard enough on it. The amount of deflection seems reasonable and normal. The grater is very rigid. The grating surface is separate from the handle, but it's held in place by several small tabs on the reverse side -- it's not going anywhere. The reverse side of the grating surface is clean and doesn't provide any place for grated cheese to get stuck. The handle's material is the same type of rubber found on other OXO products, and I found the diameter of the handle to fit my hand perfectly.
The grating surface consists of what look like little tubes that run parallel to the handle. This has two benefits. The first is that you grate on both the downstroke and the upstroke. It's really amazing how much quicker I can grate now and how much cheese comes out. The second benefit is that it's really easy to clean this grater: just wipe across the grating surface (i.e.: across, not up and down). No grated sponge!
The end of the grater is rubber for traction when resting the end of the grater on a plate, but I had no problem with just holding the grater over the plate. The cheese fell in a predictable pattern -- over my pasta and not all over the table, even with some vigorous grating.
Yes, this is an expensive grater. But if you're like me and appreciate well-made, quality tools, this is one you should add to your kitchen. It does one job, does it well, and is easy to clean up afterwards. That last part is key, because I hate cleaning up. With this grater I can just rinse it off, hang it up, and forget about it until next time.

Chef'n PalmZester, Citrus Zesters Review

To add zest to dishes and desserts simply fit the PalmZester in the palm of your hand and then zest lemons, oranges and limes. The stainless steel blade quickly zests the peel of the citrus and then collects the zest in the see-through storage area.This keeps the zest off your counters and ready for use. Next, simply remove the top of the PalmZester to access the fresh zest. Either include in your recipe or garnish your dish. The PalmZester has a stainless steel blade and is top rack dishwasher safe.

Microplane Citrus Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this from WS thinking it was cute and would be perfect for zesting lemons. I was wrong. It has an acrylic rim around the metal blade which attaches it to the rubber handle. The plastic broke after only zesting two lemons. I think it has a poor design. The blade is great and until it broke, it did zest the first lemon in about one minute! So I will purchase the all metal Microplane insteadMicroplane Grater/Zester.

Microplane Premium Zester/Grater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I find this to be a better tool for zesting than the traditional zester. I use less effort zesting with this Microplane to remove only the rind and not get to that white pith that is very bitter. And most of the zest collects underneath the tool or falls from below. A few minor raps and the most of the collected zest fall away. When I use the traditional zesting tool, I get quite a bit of the zest and essential oil on my hands.
This Microplane is fairly easy to wash and clean. But, after washing, hold the handle and shake out the water that collects in the handle. Then place the Microplane with the handle up after washing so the water dries out from the handle.
I see that there is a newer version of this tool with a shorter and wider rasp area. The tool also includes a small and large strip zester.
PROS: Removes the zest with less effort and better control (without removing the bitter pith). Easily collects the zest without it collecting on your hands.
CONS: The rasp and handle area is not totally sealed or removable to either prevent food to collect under the handle or to allow thorough cleaning.

Progressive International Grater Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm no chef, nor anything like that, but when I do cook something (and I have to use a grater at some point), it was super tedious, tiresome and uncomfortable.
This Progressive Grater Set is made to make the user comfortable while utilizing it, this is due to the horizontal position of the 4 inserts. Besides that, you don't have to get an extra plate under the grater to collect the output; this grater set comes with a transparent box, with measures in each side, that traps all of the output and permits the user to see how much has he/she done.
It's simply great, even for a gift. Get it.

Microplane Premium Extra Coarse Review

The microplaner is great for zesting citrus and the coarse greater is good on cheddar cheese when you just want a little to garnish a dish.

KitchenAid RVSA Slicer/Shredder Attachment for Stand Mixers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nota Bene:
I have tried to contact Kitchen-Aid for over a month, wrote 4 EM via the KitchenAid customer support Website, and beside their promise to answer within 3 business day, I have yet to hear from them.
I'm truly disappointed with their customer support and the RSVA.
Kitchen-Hell: "for the way it's made"Well,
What a deception!
Probably the worst shredder I ever used.
I purchase this product in the idea that KitchenAid was a good brand (by experience), but I must admit that I have the feeling that I paid $50 for a very, very poor shredder, which should be sold $15 maximum. A $7 Walmart hand shredder makes a better job.
I have the feeling that KitchenAid just ripped me off.
I'm a mechanical engineer and I love to cook, and I'm normally the type to buy one excellent knife instead of 2 poor ones, but this time, I was fooled.
So , let's review the product:
First of all, the cones are not stainless steel, but regular steel, badly chromed.
It means that, one day or another, they will rust.
How can you tell? Use a magnet, if it is not sticking, it's a 18/10 stainless steel. (18% Chrome + 10% Nickel, a TRUE Stainless Steel)
Try with your kitchenaid mixing bowl, and you'll see.
It also means that if you ever try to sharpen the slicing blades, you'll take off the chrome and it WILL rust very quickly.
I'm sorry, but a brand like Kitchenaid should AT LEAST, provides Stainless Steel cones. Especially at 50 bucks a piece. (and I suppose that's why it is stated HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY), not allowed to use regular steel in a restaurant)
The blades are either dull, unevenly sharpened, or not at all(sides). It mashes or puree very well, but the cuts are uneven and messy. I just wanted a slicer, not a musher.
The sharpening on (my) slicing cones is visibly uneven. one side slices, the other not.
The gap between the cones and the body is too big, food goes in, get pushed in by the dull cones to end up in a mess.
The cones rotate unevenly, off balance, which adds to the previous mess.
The length of the blades is smaller than the size of the spout. (the cutting length should be a least the size of the spout, not smaller )
In short: everything that goes is those corners is miserably mashed So, as a result, in my opinion: buy something else.
Add $20 and buy yourself something decent. Plus, the attachment is so bulky that a food processor will not take much space.
My grade on a 10 scale: 3
Probably the worst shredder I ever used.
And if you ever decide to buy one , please contact me , for $25, you'll have an almost brand new one.

This attachment performs the cutting and shredding duties your food processor might: select the proper cone, slip it into the plastic housing, and attach all to your stand mixer's hub with a metal shaft. You can shred potatoes, onions, nuts, and chocolate, or slice vegetables for cooking or munching. While it adds versatility to your mixer, the unit is cumbersome to disassemble--more so than KitchenAid's other nifty attachments--and its several parts make it difficult to store. Still, it's easier on your arms than manual slicing and shredding, especially for large quantities, and all parts are dishwasher-safe. --Betsy Danheim

Microplane 40020 Grater/Zester Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this after spending 2 hours zesting limes for a gourmet cookie recipe with the traditional potato-peeler+ food processor method. The most time consuming part is carefully scraping way all the white pith on the inside of the peel. The pith is very bitter and can ruin your recipe. This zester did the same job in 30 seconds and didn't even touch the pith. Just pure, perfect lime zest with no effort. Totally worth its weight in gold. Now I can make those cookies again without my hands cramping up after hours scraping the peels. Who has time for that?
I've also started using it for grating parmesan. Definately takes Ceaser salads and pasta up a notch. I'm purchasing several more as gifts for my friends. Would make an incredible (and cheap) holiday/birthday gift for anyone, even the casual cook. Please note that the size of the grated zest or cheese is very fine and not ideal as a garnish. Parmesan or Romano grated with this tool melts quickly into the pasta, and doesn't lend much to the presentation. Tastes great, but hard to see. If you're looking for a garnishing tool, this is not it.

Zyliss Smart Guard Food Slicer with Stainless-Steel Blade and Retractable Blade Guard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used many differnt brands and styles of mandolines and this is by far my favorite. I use it most often for making scalloped potatoes (until I got this one, my husband called them bloody scalloped potatoes) and it is just great. I like the fact that the blade isn't exposed until you pull on the handle and I like that the blades are fixed (less chance of cuts). I generally just use the thinnest settings, but it does have a little button you slide to change the settings for thicker slices. It is also nice to be able to see through the mandoline to what you are slicing into the bowl ( the runway area is see through). I did notice if you slice onto a plate rather than a bowl, the vegetables can get stuck in the slicer as the veggies build up. Less chance of this when using a deeper bowl.

A fast, safe, and efficient way to prepare fruits and vegetables, this innovative food slicer makes a smart addition to any kitchen collection. The unit's razor-sharp, serrated stainless-steel cutting blade slices effortlessly through a variety of produce--from thick carrots, potatoes, and parsnips to tomatoes, apples, soft kiwi, berries, cucumbers, and more--perfect for whipping together healthful afternoon snacks, colorful salads, and a host of delicious main dishes. Accompanied by a handy food holder, whose miniature "teeth" firmly grip chunks or whole pieces of fruit or vegetables while slicing, the unit ensures that fingers and hands remain far from the cutting blade during use. Furthermore, its patented retractable blade-guard mechanism eliminates the dangers of traditional slicers, paring knives, and other cutting implements, operating with the simple touch of a button to lock a plastic guard over the blade for injury-free use. Anchored by non-slip rubber feet that won't skip or move across the countertop, the slicer's collapsible stand enables compact storage in a cupboard or drawer. Additional highlights include a unique thickness selector that allows for choosing between different-size slices, a transparent runway for easy viewing of the results, and a wide design that can be suspended over a bowl or platter for added convenience. The food slicer measures approximately 14 by 5-1/2 by 2-1/5 inches when collapsed and carries a five-year limited warranty.
