Cuisinart Food Chopper, Black Review

Cuisinart Food Chopper, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the worst piece I own by Cuisinart. I generally like their products but this thing stinks. My girlfriend bought me this for X-Mas (after I picked it out!). Let me say that I would give it negative stars if possible. I now have to waste time and fuel to drive it back to the store to recuperate the cost. The thing fell apart after 1/8 of an onion--which is, btw, all the space this thing has to chop. Was not sharp enough to cut through the tougher, outer onion layer. P-l-e-a-s-e! I took it all the way apart to see what could possibly "jam" a manual food chopper. I noticed that the blade piece unscrewed from the hand piece. No problem, right? Wrong, wrong! The pieces would not stay together. Needless to say that it almost ruined X-Mas once my girlfriend had to go digging through the trash for the receipt . . .

Classic Olive Oil Dispenser - 3/4 Liter (25.5 oz.) Review

Classic Olive Oil Dispenser - 3/4 Liter (25.5 oz.)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
High quality steel olive oil dispenser. Helpful in pouring just the amount you need into cooking vessels or recipies. Don't overfill, or oil will come out the spout when picking up. The bottom seam leaked a slight amount of oil when first filled, then stopped after a day or so. Just enough leakage to leave a slight ring, but this did resolve, and may have been due to initial overfilling. I recommend this dispenser highly.

Beautiful to look at and a pleasure to use, this dispenser delivers an even pour of oil in a satisfyingly smooth arc. The flared top offers a wide funnel-shaped opening for neat and easy refilling. The hinged lid has a clasp to keep it closed. It holds 3/4 liter of oil. It keeps oil fresher for longer by blocking out the light. Manufactured in Spain from 18/10 stainless steel.

Strawberry Metal Cookie Cutter Review

I bought this cookie cutter thinking it would be big enough to make cookies on a stick. I was very disappointed at the small size of the cutter. Normally I would use one cookie per skewer but because the cookies are so small I would have to use at least three cookies per stick to make it look decent. This product in my opinion is only worth 99 cents.

Kitchen Art Scrap Trap Review

This gadget/kitchen utensil is a wonderful addition to your kitchen. I have an island in my kitchen with my waste can next to the sink. Having the Scrap Trap on the opposite side of the island makes prep and clean up a breeze without having to continually walk around to the sink/garbage can. Can be used over the cabinet door or drawer. I have mine over the door and it's almost even with my counter top. Everyone who comes in my kitchen is impressed and thinks it's a great idea too. One neighbor and one of my Bunco gals wanted one right away. It's great that you can now get it at Amazon.com and cheaper than what I paid for mine. Great bargain. Thanks Amazon!

Chef'n BeanSlice Green Bean Slicer Review

Chef'n BeanSlice Green Bean Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is really attractive, but it doesn't work at all. I had a pound of green beans, fresh, in the fridge on the day it arrived. I tried to french about 4 or 5 beans in it, and the beans just bent on the way into the device. They weren't stiff enough, or the blades weren't sharp enough, to catch the bean. I even tried cutting the tips off the beans, to give a cut surface to the ends, but that didn't work either.
So, I thought it might be useful for some other stiffer vegetable. Tried it with peeled celery. It worked okay on that, but you have to preslice the celery to green bean thickness, which seems silly. If I'm going to do all that, I'll just slice the celery. Finally, I tried it on a carrot, and actually pushed one of the blades out of the device.
After that, it went into the trash. That was a $6 lesson for me.
If you want a good green bean frencher, the "Krisk Bean Stringer and Slicer" or "Norpro French Bean Slicer" is the way to go. It's not as attractive, but it does the job easily. (Note: NOT the crank operated Norpro French Bean Slicer for $17, that one just mangles the beans. Get the little white one that you pull the bean through, for $6. It works, and it has a spring loaded holder that automatically adjusts for the thickness of the bean.)

This is a very nice funnel. It says it's for jam which I never knew you used a strainer for jam - sorry I got side tracked. This is very well made heavy duty steel and a nice steel mesh strainer. I think it will work great for animal milking and pouring into a ball jar - which is what I'll be doing. The opening is small - but not too small -will work nicely. I measure the opening at the bottom at 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Also the handle on the side is a nice steadying feature. All in all a nice product.

It's about time! I have been wanting this for a long time. This slicer is nice and sturdy. It has blades, not wires!
I have been wanting something to slice mushrooms with. It always seemed logical to me that an egg slicer should be able to slice mushrooms, as well. I would buy egg slicers at the store only to have them break on me with the very first use. I never had even one make a mark on a mushroom. A mushroom! We aren't talking about rocks here. I can't imagine any of those pieces of junk cutting eggs either.
I ordered this one and I am happy! It is good and solid- metal with blades! It is much bigger than the grocery store garbage, too.
Did I mention that it has blades?!
I look forward to many years of service from this gadget.

Why waste your time chewing on a corn cob. Cook the corn and then strip the corn from the cob in a matter of minutes. We had an older cheaper version of this one that we ended up wearing out after a few years, but this one is top of the line. Once you use this, you will never eat corn on the cob again or want corn out of a can.

I received this yesterday, and made a dinner requiring ground beef just so I could try it out! Even thought the ground beef I had was the cheapest I could find, this tool did an amazing job of breaking the beef apart. When it was almost all browned, I chopped it again with this, and the meat was broken into tiny little particles! This is so much easier to use than a spatula, wooden spoon or fork! And the results were awesome! I love that I could just throw it in the dishwasher and it is clean again! Definitely worth the small amount of money this costs! I might just buy a few more for family!

Progressive Jumbo Potato Cutter Review

Progressive Jumbo Potato Cutter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When I was shopping for this French fry cutter, I read reviews of a number of others. In almost every case, there was at least one bad review, i. e. the cutter wasn't sturdy and broke, it wouldn't cut anything with any hardness to it, it was so small that one must cut large potatoes into pieces in order to get them to fit etc. etc.
I took a risk on this one, because there were no reviews on it. I am happy to report that everything is working OK so far. The cutter is big enough to accept even rather large russet potatoes. As far as ease of use goes, it does take some effort to push a potato through -- then again, the potatoes I have on hand right now are russets, and are fairly firm and crisp. I'm sure that softer potatoes would be easier to push through.
Cleanup is a breeze; the blade grate comes out quite easily, and everything that gets dirty on it is easy to get at. It's much easier to clean up than a mandolin slicer, for example (as well as easier to use).
The one feature that really doesn't work is the suction pad on the bottom. It holds for a second or two, and then the unit pops off the counter. This really isn't a problem, because I just hold it down with one hand while I work the lever with the other.
My main caveat regarding this device is that I'm a sort of a big guy, and I don't have a problem (usually) with muscling things. A dainty housewife might have a little trouble pushing a big potato through this unit; in that case she should probably recruit her husband.
All in all, I would recommend this device for anyone's kitchen, as it sure beats making potatoes into French fries with a knife. My only other concern is that it might break at some point -- but my gut feeling is that it's going to last long enough to make it worth what I paid for it.

Tom Douglas by Pinzon 18/10 Stainless-Steel Swivel Y Peeler Review

Tom Douglas by Pinzon 18/10 Stainless-Steel Swivel Y Peeler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a good, quality Y-peeler. I actually prefer a simple straight peeler, but if I were to use a Y-peeler, I like this one. It slices very thin and smooth. It was a bit of a transition for me to peel towards myself instead of away, but I got the hang of it quickly. It does a really good job and the design is ergonomic and makes sense. There is a little hook on the side to remove potato eyes and blemishes - this hook is handy to have on there, but not as easy to use without wasting some of the vegetable meat as it digs in easily, but doesn't come back out so easily. The swivel blade is accurate and catches on the skin easily, making long, even peels. Sometimes the peels get caught up in the blade, especially if you are trying to peel quickly so that is a bit annoying, but you can just shake the peel out, so I may be too picky. I'm just used to my old straight peeler that I operate very quickly. This item is nice enough to make a nice little gift for your favorite cook who likes Y-peelers. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because even though this is a very nice peeler and one of the best Y-peelers I've tried, it didn't convert me completely from my straight peeler.
