Rotato Potato Peeler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Now, you can get the Rotato which is a hand cranked operation or the Rotato Express which is an automatic gadget. I prefer the Rotato because the wiring tends to get misplaced in my gadget loving household. Here's the deal... if you (and/or your family) loves potatoes (fried, diced, mashed... you get the idea), then you really must have a terrific potato peeler. And quite frankly, there is none finer. The hand cranked variety of the Rotato will last you through thousands of potatoes; and you will look like a whiz kid. This is a great thing to give for xmas-- a sort of generic xmas present that will be loved long after this xmas is over. Also, it comes with extra blades (because they do wear out) that you can locate in its base. I bought an extra set (at a very reasonable price) because I have broken a few of the blades along the way.

Back to Basics 286 5-Piece Home Canning Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am brand new at canning, and did my first batch prior to ordering these tools. It went okay, but I was immediately sold on the idea of a jar lifter. I looked and looked locally but couldn't find one, and this set was available for immediate shipment.
The jar lifter is fantastic, and ultimately I think it alone is worth the price of admission -- not because it's worth it in and of itself, but because it's a total necessity, so I would have purchased it at any price that wouldn't break the bank.
The other pieces are either already part of a moderately well-equipped kitchen, are nice but not necessary, and/or are not all that well constructed.
I'd opted to return a relatively expensive set of plastic funnels when I purchased this set, but the included funnel here melted a bit under the heat of the boiling brine I poured over the pickles-to-be. Same for the plastic surrounding the magnet when I used it (quite effectively) to grab the jar lids out of a simmer sauce pan. The lid wrench I'm just not sure I see a use for, since jars aren't supposed to be super tight and they tend to loosen when cooled anyway (or am I misunderstanding what this is for?), and the tongs, well, who doesn't have tongs?
Anyway, in researching for this review, I've come to feel like something of an idiot, because the pieces are available separately and eligible for the free shipping promotion of your choice. Unless you don't already have a funnel, or don't mind the possibility of plastic in your canned food, I recommend saving five bucks and just getting these two pieces:
Back to Basics 284 Jar Lifter
Back to Basics 174 Magnetic Lid Lifter
If you need more than those two pieces, though, this set will do the job.

Norpro 5-Piece Garnishing Tool Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The only tool in this kit that works well is the crinkle cutter.
The spiral cutter has a fat nylon screw to drive it. It is so thick that it splits carrots. The ring to put your finger in is half as thick as my wedding band so you predrill a carrot with a skewer and then you do two carrots for a sore finger.
The double spiral cutter has but a twist of flat metal before the 8. It won't go anywherre with out lots of hand pressure. The little removable handle that is put on the end isn't shown.
The V saw/knife is light weight steel that one can flex in your hands. If you are patient it will eventually penetrate a pumpkin wall. A good paring knife is far faster.
The knife is tiny with a fraile handle. I threw it out.

Kuchenprofi Parma Vegetable Peeler in 18/10 Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)...start making stuff, I'll keep buying German made like this delightful kitchen time saver.
Most people would not think of reviewing a peeler. It's too unimportant to justify typing anything. However, if you cook enough and have done it long enough and care about the quality of your creations, this simple little kitchen tool will put a smile upon your face. I won't contrast it with the sloppy, gouging wasteful peelers your typical "branded" name American kitchen company "designs in America" and manufactures in Shandong province. Those are, in a word, contemptible to anyone who cares about quality. Spare me the cache of having that "brand name" cheap crap in my kitchen and you know what I'm talking about. Those companies care more about profit than perfection. If there is a more perfect peeler than this one, I haven't used it.
I've peeled for 40 years and I don't need to tell you, pushing a peeler across the surfaces of carrots, radishes, potatoes, yams and cutting your knuckles on dull peelers or using a knife to peel on will put years on your life scars on your hands and make you want to throw it in there unpeeled.
Not with this peeler.
It's effortless, smooth, graceful, clean and precise. I look for food to peel with this tool in my kitchen drawer. It's balanced, properly sized to hold. It's not too long or too short and cuts very good size peel of the food. But it's standout quality is the speed. Oh man, it's like peeling butter with this device. It's beautiful 18/10 stainless steel. To clean it, you put it under the water and the flow washes away all the particles of food.
I could go on. You will enjoy this wonderful peeler. And now it has a review.

Progressive International Fruit and Vegetable Keeper and Onion Keeper Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently joined an organic produce delivery service. Every other week, I get a gorgeous box fresh from the farm. Which means that the produce I get might get eaten right away, or might need to kick it in the fridge for a week until my hubby and I can get to it.
I can't vouch for the onion keeper yet, but the small Produce Saver has been great. The sliced carrots, cauliflower, and asparagus I have kept in it so far have been as fresh and vibrant the day I took them out as the day I put them in. I have left stuff in there for at least 10 days with no problem. Very impressed with this product, I have the Berry Keeper and two of the Lettuce Keepers as well, and they are all wonderful products.
