Hoffritz Stainless-Steel Mandoline Slicer Review

I really think Hoffritz is missing the boat by not selling this slicer in an infomercial. This is one kitchen gadget that really works. One feature that sets it apart is the stainless steel bowl that the slicer portion sits on. It is high quality and nearly worth the price of the slicer by itself. The rubber feet on the bottom of the bowl are effective in their designed use to prevent the bowl from wandering on the countertop as one uses the slicer on top of it. A feature that the Amazon description did not mention is the rack which holds all the blades, protecting both one's fingers and the blades. I get perfectly uniform slices of carrots and zuchini and potatoes with ease and the food holder even rides on a pair of rails on top so it can not slip off. A surprising aspect of using this slicer is that it actually makes food go further because once you see the pile of slices you can get from , for example, just one carrot , you may decide you don't want to use two. If you do slice more than you need which is easy to do because it is almost fun, the handy plastic cover snaps onto the bowl and will protect the contents well in the fridge. Hoffritz has been reknowned for fine quality blades for many years and the slicer is blessed with durable and sharp ones. Most of all this thing just oozes quality and is very satisfying and efficient to use. Factor in the time savings and how easy it is to clean , just a quick rinse usually does it although the whole thing is diswasher safe and you have great addition to any kitchen.

Oster BLSTCC-BFP 6-Cup Glass Jar 12-Speed Blender Plus 3-Cup Food Processor, Black Review

This is a wonderful idea, especially for a 1 person kitchen. But, unfortunately, either I got a lemon or the Oster Blender/Food Processor is an underpowered waste of money. I use it mainly to make smoothies not a heavy duty use or complex procedure. The first few times I used it, it was all right, not W0W, but adequate. But with repeated use over a period of time it just wore out. Shouldn't do that with such light sporadic use over a little less than 3 months.

Brought to you by the #1 Blender brand. It's one multi-talented multi-tasker. It's a blender. It's a food processor. It's impressive. Simple, one-touch controls that deliver 450 watts of power in 12 varying speeds. And with two small appliances in one, you get a powerful, space-saving solution for every day. The 6-cup, dishwasher-safe, glass blender jar has been Thermal Shock tested so you can pull it out of a steamy dishwasher and safely make a frosty cold beverage right away. The stainless steel "ice crusher" blade does just that so you get smooth frozen drinks every time. And it can handle so much more, from frozen beverages to dips, from sauces to smoothies, from soup to nuts. The BPA-free food processor accessory features a large-capacity, 3-cup bowl perfect for chopping, mixing and mincing onions, garlic, vegetables, nuts and more. This Oster blender is made in North America and backed by the superior quality of All Metal Drive. Because the two pieces that connect are metal (instead of plastic), you get a more durable and longer-lasting blender that will function flawlessly, party after party, year after year. The competition just can't compare. With a blender and food processor combined into one powerful machine, the possibilities are always endless (and delicious).

Fridge Ballse Easier to Use Than Green Bags Review

This product seemed like a good idea. Fiddling with the green bags is a pain. Since we have two produce drawers, I put a fridge ball in one but not the other. I can't tell the difference in the produce in the two drawers.

Each Fridge Ball contains a packet of potassium minerals that absorb these produce-rotting gasses, so you can keep your fruits and vegetables fresher, longer right at home!

Tater Mitts quick Peeling potato gloves Review

Tater Mitts quick Peeling potato gloves
Average Reviews:

Upon first inspection, they look like big blue fisherman's gloves with aquarium rocks glued to them. I kid you not, that is what the abrasive surface is---blue aquarium rocks. I laughed. Out loud.
So we borrow a few potatoes and apples from a neighbor and get to work. I have to say, the suckers worked on the potatoes. Now, keep in mind that I had to WORK to get the skin off---I had broken out in a sweat by the time I finished one of them---and little blue aquarium rocks dotted my sink when I was finished, but, lo and behold, the skin was gone. We then used the handy dandy French fry cutter and that little sucker is dangerous---very easy to cut yourself so be careful.
The apples were a lot harder to do and when finished they resembled a peach because the outside of the pulp became fuzzy during all the sanding, ha ha.
Soooooo, in sum: the Tatermitts are basically sanding gloves with rocks on them that will gradually come off as you work away on potatoes. Eventually, I expect all the rocks will come off and we'll be out of business BUT until then, I guess they'll work. Periodically. On special occasions.

The Zyliss electric peeler was given to me as a gift. I used it with some reservation to discover it was a fabulous tool and one of the favorites in my kitchen drawer. I use it always to quickly peel carrots or potatoes, etc. I recently gave a Zyliss peeler as a gift to a friend. She called with rave reviews to say she used it to shave parmesan. I enthusiastically recommend the Zyliss electric peeler. This battery powered tool is well worth the money.

Starfrit 93209 Rotato Express - Electric Peeler Review

Starfrit 93209 Rotato Express - Electric Peeler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Rotato Express, when it works, makes peeling potatoes and other veggies a breeze. It's especially great when making large batches of potatoes or turnips -- all that peeling can really be a hassle sometimes. The Rotato can turn a big job into a fast job and save you a lot of time in the kitchen. When it works.
The problem is, well, it doesn't always work. The build quality of this thing is cheaper than cheap. The blades pop loose easily because the plastic clips they're attached to are flimsy. Veggies with hard peels will constantly jerk the blades out. Even worse, the spring on the arm of my device popped loose after about two months of medium use. This renders the device useless unless you can manage to reinsert the spring (not an easy job).
At the cheap price, you could almost consider it a disposable item and just grab a new Rotato, but that's just too darn wasteful for such a big hunk of plastic.
If they delivered a better unit, even for $10-15 bucks more, I could heartily recommend this device for people who enjoy potatoes, turnips, or any other veggies that need a lot of peeling. As it is, it might be worth a look, but convenience comes with headaches.

Joyce Chen 51-0662 Saladacco Spiral Slicer, White Review

I had to give this product two stars for the concept and at least one star because it does exactly what the manufacturer says it does, but nothing more plus not everything you make using this product turns out completely awful. Versatile this tool is not! To start your vegetables must be 1-inch in diameter and 3-1/2 inches in length. After you've finished cutting you are left with at least 1-inch of unuseable vegetable, unless you're willing to do the rest of your creative cutting by hand, not only does this limit you but it also creates a great deal of waste. You have only 2 blade choices which are housed in a poorly constructed plastic contraption that easily separates if pressed on in the wrong spot.
You have your choice of either Spaghetti type strands or spiral slices but don't expect anything pretty with your spaghetti strands because your only option is a very fine tooth edged blade which creates very fine strands of mush depending on what you're cutting. However, this product does have one redeeming trait and that's with the use of the flat edged blade it does create fairly nice looking spiral slices. If you're expecting true versatility than you will have to cough up the dough for "The Benriner Cooks Helper", "Benriner Cook Help" or the "Benriner Asian Sprial Slicer" (they're all the same) which gives you (3) Tooth edged blades (fine, medium and Coarse) as well as (1) flat edged blade, the size of your vegetables do still matter for cutting but you don't throw away nearly as much. Shop around for the best price!

Make professional garnishes in minutes with the Joyce Chen Spiral Slicer. It quickly creates spiral strands, ribbons, or slices and collects them in a clear plastic catch tray. The spiral slicer's design keeps fingers safely away from the cutting surface, providing confidence and efficiency in food preparation. Made from a durable plastic, the slicer is safe to clean in the dishwasher. It measures 9-1/2 inches tall and comes gift-boxed.
