(More customer reviews)This review refers to the Hamilton Beach "Change -A Bowl"(Slicer/shredder) model 70800
This is a great little item. It allows you to easily prepare meals without a lot of time or fuss. It is simple to use, puts together effortlessly and cleans up in a snap. All pieces that actually touch food are dishwasher safe on top rack. It comes with 3 GladWare 6 cup bowls with lids, so you can move from one item to the next without having to clean up each time. There is also a permanent bowl(no lid) to use as well. The shredder/slicer disc attaches easily and is two sided so you just use the side you want as the top side.Place your food in the chute, and use the "food pusher" to gently guide it through. Voila!
Mechanically, it has been sound. I have had no problems, it has worked great. I have found it to be a super-convienent kitchen tool. A quick-start is included to get you set up and going, and there is also a nice recipe book with many ideas for family meals, one dish meals, salads and sides, deserts and entertaining. Among them you will find pizza, vegetable stir fry, cheesy potatoes,chocolate pear torte and Salsa(there are lots more). The recipes have all indgrediants listed, cooking directions and even tell you which side of the shred/slice disc to use.You'll also find some neat little hints, like for shredding mozzarella cheese, it should be frozen and cut into little cubes for best results. The booklet and has cleaning instructions and customer service numbers. All the info(including recipes is also in French and Spanish, along with specific phone numbers)
So here is my only little complaint and reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. There is a second disc which is a "Fine Shred/Crinkle Cut", to add a little something different to your meals. This must be purchased separately from Hamilton Beach. I think for the price, they could have included it in this package. There is also a disc storage that is not included either. I searched Amazon and could not find that Fine Shred disc here.See product features on detail page here, this model comes with 1 disc!
Other then that I love this nifty little item, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
