Hamilton Beach 72610 Fresh Chop 3-Cup Food Chopper Review

This is incredibly handy, compact, and powerful. I've found that it's great for baking preparation, chopping nuts, mincing vegetables, and blending thicker sauces (My peanut sauce came out great!).
However, there are a few problems I can't overlook:
1.) Do not fill the processor more than half way (This reduces the capacity to about 2 cups) -- especially if you are making beverages or thin sauces. When you remove the canister to pour the contents out, the contents sometimes spill through the center of the canister (all over your kitchen counter), even if you have left in the blade attachment.
2.) Ice is a no-go. I almost burnt out the motor trying to make margaritas. (I was on vacation and accidentally left my blender at home.)
If you need a mini chopper select projects (e.g. baking, salad making), this is a good investment. However, if you need more flexibility and power, I would suggest buying a larger model.

Tupperware Quick Chef Food Processor and Chopper Review

I own every kitchen gadget known to man. Well, okay, I am missing a couple, like the combo microwave and pizza oven. But really, I own just about everything out there for cooking, and this little doohickey is a gem. If you don't cut up your onions into smallish pieces (that is, if you insist on putting a half an onion in rather than quartering it), it may take a little strength to do the first twist or two, but the blades are very sharp and do a wonderful job after that. The other night, I made a killer apple, dried fig and balsamic vinegar glaze using this and it chopped the apples without mushing them at all. I just can't recommend this highly enough. Cleanup is extremely quick and easy as the whole thing is top-rack dishwasher safe.

Oxo Good Grips Lemon Zester Review

Oxo Good Grips Lemon Zester

(More customer reviews)
I am a quadriplegic/tetraplegic (C5-6 for any of you who care). I have only about 1/3 use of my hands and about 1/2 use of my arms, but I can use this zester--not with great ease, but I can use it! I cannot use any other zester I have tried.
My mother has mild arthritis and she likes my Oxo tools better than her own (even the ones she's grown to love over the years).
The zesting blades are sharp and at the perfect angle. You get perfect zest with little effort. And you get NO pith (bitter white part).
As with almost all Oxo tools the design is excellent: it is highly ergonomic--it fits the hand and works the way it should.

Specially designed to get the tasty zest while leaving the bitter rind behind. The notch tool works to get spirals of peel and the soft, oversized handle works to take pressure off your hand.

KitchenAid RVSA Slicer/Shredder Attachment for Stand Mixers Review

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
