How do you cook it so the stalk is done but the tips aren't overcooked?Amco's chrome plated Asparagus Cooker is your answer -- stand the asparagus in the cooker with the tips up.Add a few inches of water to the pot and cover. Your stalks will boil and the more delicate tips steam for perfectly even asparagus. Also great for carrots or an ear of corn.

Strawberry Metal Cookie Cutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Northern Industrial Tools Deluxe French Fry Cutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I looked all over the web for a French Fry cutter and found nothing but cheap junk that could not accommodate a whole potato. Not only that but every review I saw said that the fry cutter broke, bent, or was rendered useless before 5 potatoes had been sliced.
Then I found the Northern Industrial Tools DeLuxe fry cutter. It looked impressive and sounded as if it could do the job with more damage to the potato than the cutter. As it turns out, that is an understatement.
This commercial tool is a monster. It is larger and much heavier than I would have guessed. It is made from heavy cast aluminum with steel nuts and bolts, and steel cutter blades. The guide bars even have plastic slider bushings for quiet and smooth operation. If you were to drop this thing onto concrete, I would be willing to bet that the concrete would fare worse than this tool. It weighs 8 pounds and is an industrial grade tool. I cannot imagine how this thing showed up broken as in the other review. I had to tighten a couple of bolts, and mount it to the wall, but I cannot fathom how this item was broken in transit.
This fry cutter will EASILY accept a 6 inch (and larger) potato. This beast makes short work of twenty full size russet potatoes (sold individually as baking potatoes in the supermarket). The long lever arm requires a long pull to get the job done, but the leverage you generate to cut through the spuds (with skins on) in a single pull is impressive and makes the task relatively easy.
The cutter ships with two blades, one for 3/8 inch square, and one for 1/2 inch square. The "pusher block" and cutter blade assemblies must be swapped out to change between sizes. This is done by removing wing nuts to pull out the cutter blade assembly, removing machine screws that hold the "pusher block", and installing the other blades and pusher. It was never built for quickly changing sizes. It will take a few minutes and some basic hand tools.
I would have given 5 stars if the cutter were easier to mount and/or clean.
This industrial tool must be mounted to a wall with four screws (not included) to make it stable and safe to operate. My guess is that this unit was designed to be mounted directly above a fryer so as the potatoes are sliced they fall into the hot grease along with potato juice.
When you cut a spud, the juice sprays a little bit, and the frame, slides, guide, and cutter blades get pretty much covered with sticky, starchy goo. If you are outdoors or in an industrial kitchen, you could just spray the unit down with a hose to clean it. In a home kitchen, a spray down is impractical. This is the reason I gave this cutter only 4 stars.
Each of the holes to mount this beast to the wall is just that, a hole. To really clean the cutter, you need to completely remove each and every one of the mounting screws from the wall. If all of the holes were counter bored slots, designed to quickly mount and un-mount the cutter, I would have gladly given this monster 5 stars.
If you buy this you will never buy another fry cutter. But be forewarned that it takes no small effort to swap cutter size, likewise to mount and clean this industrial grade kitchen tool in a residential kitchen.
BTW, the BEST fries are made by blanching at 325F for 6-8 minutes, then remove them from the oil. Crank up the grease to 375F and dunk them in small batches for 2 minutes to brown them up. Heaven on Earth.

Chef'n Flexicado Flexible Avocado Slicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used an avocado smaller than the tool, so I had to uncomfortably squeeze the tool until it'd fit. Then it kind of smooshed my avocado into slices that were not attractive, while leaving a layer of unused avocado in the shell.
It made me realize that it's not *that* hard to slice an avocado with a paring knife... oh well.

Deluxe Starfrit Electric Rotato Potato Peeler Express Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I do love this peeler...it really does save a boat load of time. It takes me less than 10 minutes total to peel 5 pounds of potatoes. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is I wish it would peel closer to the top and the bottom of the potato, which would allow you to just trim the top and bottom, as opposed to having to manually peel them after they have gone through the rotato express.

Xtraordinary Home Products Apple Peeler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this after picking way too many apples. Knowing I had a lot of peeling ahead, I thought this would be a wonderful solution.
It turned out to be a complete waste of money & time.
The plastic is flimsy, the handle pops off while you are turning it, and the suction cups on the base are weak.
One of their selling points is "the spring loaded blade peels the apple skin in one continuous motion", but when the handle keeps popping off that means a lot of stopping & restarting.
They likely did this 'assemble at home' so it would fit into a smaller box. Would have been well worth it to have a larger box & the handle attached to the peeler so you really could peel in one continuous motion.
The peeler does work...just not very well. In my opinion, there are others listed here on Amazon that are better constructed and would do a much better job for just a few dollars more. I did not realize something this simple would require researching before buying but now I know!

Norpro French Bean Slicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was skeptical about how something like this would actually work, especially with the mixed reviews I've read on this site and others. It really isn't as bad as some would lead you to believe. Use some common sense and a bit of ingenuity and it works fine. No, you can't put a giant handfull of beans in it and expect it to not clog up. If you put in 3 or 4 at a time you'll have no problems. No, the jaws of the clamps don't open 4 inches to accomodate a countertop. They open only about 1.5 inches, enough to clamp on the edge of a table. I used a couple thin silicone pads, one on top and one underneath the table under the clamps. There was room for this and it did not damage the surface of the oak dining table at all. I have to admit, it doesn't clamp down super tight with the pads this way. One person CAN turn the crank by themselves and feed beans into the hopper with no problems, but it did work best with my husband's help. He turned the crank as fast as he could while simultaneously feeding beans into the hopper. I helped steady the slicer to the table. We went through a large brown shopping bag of beans in about 10 minutes. We grow our own vegetables every year and this is the best way to get frenched beans. You do have to disassemble the slicer to get all the bean bits out but it isn't difficult to do. If you use this with realistic expectations and realize you're going to have to work with it a bit to make it work, you'll be very happy with the result of the beans and with the time it saves. If you expect it to do all the work and the thinking for you, you'll think it's a piece of junk. It's not 100% perfect but it's as close as we're ever going to get for under $25.

Benriner Cook Help Spiral Slicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Reviews on this product are showing up at opposite extremes...people loving something that someone finds awful. I just received my Benriner turning vegetable slicer Cookhelp today...I expected to be disappointed, given the negative reviews here. I opened the box carefully because I was sure I'd try it and return it..BUT I'm keeping it...I like it.
YES, it's plastic and lightweight and expensive...All that has been said about the price is true...You'd expect by seeing the photo and for the price that, at least, it should be made from metal..This isn't cheap-fall-apart plastic...The siding on my house is some form of plastic and has held up for 20 years. And now decking
and house pillars are made from plastic.. So, plastic products aren't necessarily crummy. I think this is
a well made product, although basic and utterly simplistic. I figured out pretty quickly that this gadget
holds more steady if you place it in the sink with a plate or cutting board under it to catch the curls...simply
because you need leverage to push downward. It didn't slide or slip and didn't feel unruly in my hands.
I didn't have much firm raw product in my house to work with when this arrived...Just apples, cucumbers and carrots. Three blades are included...They are small and sharp but very easy to change and the whole appliance is simple to wash. Mostly just a quick rinse. What holds the blade in place is a screw.....and easy enough to figure out how to change a blade without reading the instruction sheet...There is an arrow on each blade...The more finely tooth'd blade isn't good for much. I would suspect a really hard vegetable like a beet might be okay to try with this blade. I had no problem with the widest tooth'd blade cutting the carrot and apple. I had to cut the apple in a small piece....but the results were excellent...Curls of apple...only one chunk of apple didn't produce much food. The cucumber got mushy on the smaller tooth'd blade but improved it's ability to hold up when I used the largest tooth'd blade. The firmer the vegetable, the more you can assume the smallest tooth'd blade won't turn it to mush. And the higher the water content of the vegetable, the more
you need to assume you'd require the widest tooth'd blade.
The thing about this product is that this is made in Japan...The Japanese are very mindful in their food prep.
Watch them roll sushi..It's a mind-meditative thing and that made me realize that you can actually have fun
with this if you're not particularly in a major hurry. If I were feeding a large crowd or had a catering business,
this little gadget would be ridiculous...I'd be involved for hours trying to create enough swirly fruit or veggies
to produce enough food. But for home use, and one or two people...to decorate a salad....or make a nice
mound of raw beets, carrots and zucchini, I'm happy with the smallness and lightweight properties of this
gadget. REALLY, that's all this is....a gadget. It's not a food processor by any measure...It's not going to
do what a Cuisinart would do....It's a slow but efficient way to try new ways to eat raw foods...And yes, there
is always a leftover chunk of unprocessed food....I just eat it...I was going to eat it anyway in a curly fashion...
so no big deal. I like the concept of raw foods. My local health food store sells a sqiggly vegetable salad
that looks like it might be made on a gadget like this (although obviously commercial) and they charge
$9.00 a pound~! So, for the price of doing this myself, I'm saving money and having some fun!
So, I'm giving this product 5 stars. I like it a lot and don't have unreasonable expectations of how much
food it can process at one time...I'm enjoying it in the way the Japanese probably designed it....simple, efficient, non-electric and totally unlike the American way of thinking...which might be conceptually larger than an Asian's mindful way of preparing food.

Starfrit 93169 Rotato - Manual peeler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I gave the rotato two stars because it generally does a good job peeling a potato but is on the dangerous side. Yes it saves time, but if you need to take one of the blades off to be replaced because it's clogged up you could easily hurt yourself. I got cut three times. In addition I put a potato on the rotato today and the blade popped out while I was doing this and ripped part of my fingernail off. The blades don't stay sharp for very long either. If anybody buys this make sure your kids stay away from it or only use it with close parental supervision.

Progressive Jumbo Potato Cutter Review

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.

Oxo Good Grips Strawberry Huller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Oxo products are routinely superior, and the new strawberry huller is no exception. My family often goes through strawberries in bulk, so for us this tool is long overdue.
Many people have a lazy way of preparing strawberries that never tastes right - i.e., they just rip the stem off quickly, or at best they'll make a quick cut at the white part. But my mother's way tastes far better - make a circular incision into each 'berry, making sure the white is mostly gone, leaving only the flavorful part. Up until now, all the hullers in stores have been cheap, flimsy, and awkward - kind of a joke. But OXO finally figured out how to make a one-size-fits-all contraption for the strawberry that works perfectly every time (except when the 'berry is exceptionally small). One quick, unskilled swipe (push in, turn, pull the tool out sideways), and you can move on. For most sizes, you can even get the hull out without the extra step of pulling the leaves off (just rinse them afterward to loosen any that got stuck).
So this makes the job quick and easy, helping you get to the best of the fruit in the best way, with significantly less effort.
Another thing to consider - it also eliminates the danger of slicing into your fingers from holding a knife in an awkward position. So... if you prepare a lot of strawberries, or aren't very skilled at hulling, or have arthritis, or have kids who want to help out, then this is a good investment.

Some cooks refuse to house single-purpose kitchen gadgets, but the Oxo Good Grips strawberry huller makes an excellent argument for bending this rule. Designed to gently but precisely pierce, grip, and remove the leafy hulls of strawberries, the tool simplifies prep work while leaving more berry behind to eat. Use is simple and efficient, thanks to pierce-and-scoop design and a finger-push release plunger. Like the rest of Oxo's Good Grips line, the little tool has a non-slip hold and chunky body so hands stand relaxed, and it cleans up in the dishwasher. For comparable specialty tools, check out the Good Grips mango splitter and corn stripper.
