Bron Chef's Mandolin with Feet Review

Bron Chef's Mandolin with Feet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had hoped that this would be it, the One, the mandolin I keep. It's going back, though, because the permanent blades responsible for the success of the cutting operation aren't sharp enough to consistently cut. Super sharp replaceable blades in different sizes are great, but half the equation is in the permanent blades. These are too dull to complete a good cut...so dull that the operation becomes quite dangerous, even with the provided pusher. Overall the unit is high-quality and sturdy. If a little extra attention had been put into the blades the high price tag would have been acceptable, but because of the dullness of important blades, this mandolin doesn't perform any better than the 35 dollar version rendered in plastic. Too bad!

Kyocera CSN-182S-NGR Wide Julienne Slicer, Green Review

Average Reviews:

I have been using this product for a few years now. It is a very simple kitchen tool that does the job well enough in many situations. It julianne slices ginger, cucumber, carrot, and a lot of other things, especially for those that are used in bulk quantity or only for flavor. For example, when I make ginger-infused dry vermouth, I can use less ginger and still extract ginger flavor fully and quickly by julienne slicing ginger. If I'm slicing ginger by hand, I'd not bother julienne slicing and use more sliced ginger and infuse a bit longer. But this thing is handy in a situation like this. (Julienne sliced ginger is easy to remove by straining.)
For salad and garnish, I would still slice them by hand. The cut surfaces do not look as pretty compared to the results I can get easily using a very sharp vegetable knife (which is generally true for a lot of cutting tools of this type). The advantage of this tool is speed and simplicity. Again, I would not use this thing to make garnish, unless I'm cooking for a large party. But then a better option is a professional quality mandoline with a proper blade.
Among a few other good options for julienne slicing, I still rate it 4 stars because it is simple, easy to use, quick to wash and store away. Professional grade mandoline would require more work to set up and clean up. Hand cutting would require clean cutting board space. This tool requires not much more than two hands to work with.

The Tom Douglas grill pan is wonderful for grilling small items together on the grill. You can cut up veggies, place them in the pan and they are done in less than five minutes. The dish my guests liked best made in this pan was shrimp and summer vegtables grilled together and then served over pasta. No more making little shish ka bobs which is time consuming. Just add shrimp and vegetables in a bowl with a little olive oil and then toss into stainless grill pan and you are finished making entire dish in under 10 minutes. The pan is very sturdy and well made. The cover that fastens securely lets you toss contents of pan as much as you would like.It is a pan that will inspire you to become creative. As luck would have it, my stovetop failed just before I received the pan. The Pinzon 2 piece stainless grill top frying pan with removable lid was a life saver while I was in process of replacing the stove. I used it to grill some fruit to mix with yogurt and granola for breakfast, yummy!
If you purchase this pan you will not be sorry, thats for sure!

As a BUSY mother of 4 I'm so thankful to have finally found a baby food that my kids LOVE! I used to buy the organic jar food at the grocery store, but by 8 months all my boys refused it and I had to find creative alternative finger food and that was tough since they were still so young. Now that I have tried Jack's Harvest side by side with the competition jar food I used to use, I know understand why my kids stopped eating baby food so early. There is no comparison. Jack's Harvest actually tastes like the fruit or vegetable while the competition was absolutely bland and tasteless. If you are interested in a healthy, organic start for your child, then the ONLY choice is Jack's Harvest!

Average Reviews:

I stopped purchasing other canned soups after trying various Amy's soups. Other brand soups taste too processed or salty for my liking. I usually make my soup fresh, but when I'm sick or just lazy, I'm glad I can enjoy an Amy's soup as much as my own homemade soup. Amy's Minestrone soup is my absolute favorite. The Minestrone tastes more like a homemade soup than any other canned soup I've tried - even within the Amy's product line.

Amore Tomato Paste, 4.5-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 12) Review

Amore Tomato Paste, 4.5-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
In the past, I just didn't use tomato paste very often. That's because most brands are just nasty. We'd always have a can of Hunt's or Contadina around, but I'd always be disappointed whenever I used them. It's really annoying to, say, make homemade enchilada sauce, have it taste mediocre, and then add insult to injury by having to throw away half a can of leftover tomato paste.
Amore, by contrast, actually keeps the bright tomato flavor. Since it's in tubes, there's none of the "tinny" taste so common to canned foods. And it's so easy to squeeze out a small amount that I use it all the time. There are all sorts of soups and sauces that can benefit from a little tomato flavor, but which don't justify opening a whole can of paste. (Not to mention the fact that most canned pastes would make the food taste worse, not better.)
There are only two mysteries about this product for me. First, a 1 1/2 tablespoon serving has 2 grams of fat. No other tomato pastes I looked at contain fat. Since the ingredients are only tomato paste and salt, I have to wonder where this fat comes from. The second mystery is that they label the box as "double concentrated." As far as I can tell, it's no more concentrated than any other tomato paste: I still have to use exactly the same amount in a recipe, it just tastes better than the other brands.
But I'll forgive Amore the mysterious fat and exaggerated labeling. This has become a cooking essential in my kitchen.

These woodears are top quality. They come pre-shredded, making them easy to add to soups and stir-fries. They swell A LOT when rehydrated. The texture is wonderfully hearty, the flavor exceptional. This company, Fungus Amongus, produces the highest quality products across the board. I've purchased dried mushrooms from many other companies, but their quality is the best. Should you have any inquiries, they also respond in a timely fashion. Also highly recommend the truffle salt and dried porcinis............best ever!!

These veggie chips taste great......fresh and crisp! BUT I am very disappointed in short expiration date.....12 bags arrived 8/31/09 and all expire 10/21/09. I really hadn't planned on plowing through these 12 bags in less than 8 weeks! It would be MOST helpful if expiration dates were included in product information! I purchase a wide variety of grocery items frequently and this is first time I have been disappointed. I do hope it will be the last time!

People often say there's nothing new under the sun, and yet Terra Chips are both old-fashioned and uniquely new. Old-fashioned in the sense that people have cherished these root vegetables since before civilization began. New in those two chefs from New York City, Dana Sinkler and Alexander Dzieduszycki, have gathered this delicious variety of vegetables together and prepared them into a light, naturally colorful collection of chips. Many of these vegetables are savory, some are sweet and mixed together they achieve a satisfying balance of flavors - complex, nutty, rich, delicate.
