Cuisinart Food Chopper, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the worst piece I own by Cuisinart. I generally like their products but this thing stinks. My girlfriend bought me this for X-Mas (after I picked it out!). Let me say that I would give it negative stars if possible. I now have to waste time and fuel to drive it back to the store to recuperate the cost. The thing fell apart after 1/8 of an onion--which is, btw, all the space this thing has to chop. Was not sharp enough to cut through the tougher, outer onion layer. P-l-e-a-s-e! I took it all the way apart to see what could possibly "jam" a manual food chopper. I noticed that the blade piece unscrewed from the hand piece. No problem, right? Wrong, wrong! The pieces would not stay together. Needless to say that it almost ruined X-Mas once my girlfriend had to go digging through the trash for the receipt . . .

KitchenAid Professional Cheese/Food Mill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought one of these in my search for a good cheese grater to replace my sadly inadequate KitchenAid KG301 rotary model (see reviews on this before buying...they capture the problems well). After using this once, you have to ask: "what were they thinking?" The cutting disks can fit into the device both ways though only one way cuts, the disk is difficult to line up properly in the unit, and frankly doesn't cut well with my main use for parmigiano reggiano...it almost powders it. Worse, the circular hand motion needed to grate is fine for, say, a pepper mill for which only a small amount is needed. For this, the repetitive twisting and small yield are unacceptable.
For those of you like me who have and love the superb and unbeaten KitchenAid stand mixers, this device and the rotary grater are not in anywhere near the same quality and usefulness league.
Another cheese grater of no value to me.

KitchenAid KG301 Rotary Grater, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was so excited to buy this for my Mom who has arthritis.
She said that she couldn't get it to work, but I figured that it was just because of her arthritis ... but it's not. I don't have arthritis and I couldn't get it to work either. It's just too flimsy and too clumsy. In order to slice cheese you have to put in something like a 1 inch by 1 inch square and then it sorta lobs off pieces .. very impractical!

Use the slicing blade to cut hard vegetables, cukes, potatoes, and hard cheeses. The coarse blade is ideal for grating root vegetables such as fennel, beets, turnips and parsnips. And last but not least the fine blade will make bread crumbs, grate nutmeg, chocolate, and hard cheeses. The handle holds the food in place while the arm controls the grating.

Westmark Stainless-Steel Serrated Tomato Peeler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So much easier than boiling skin off tomatoes. It does not damage the tomato at all. Not quite as easy as using a potato peeler, but I have a lot more practice with one of those. In fact, I get better at using this peeler each time. It works best when the tomato is cold.

Zyliss Fresh Cut Salad Knife, Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good, inexpensive and versatile knife that can be used as a spreader and server. I stumbled upon it when I needed an inexpensive item to meet the free shipping requirement.
It's good for cutting soft & leafy vegetables (lettuce, tomato), things that can be cut with sawing motion. It will not cut hard vegetable (carrot) that requires chopping motion.
It's particularly handy for making sandwiches. I can use it to spread the condiment, then slice the tomato or sweet pepper, and cut the sandwich in half at the end with just one knife. It's also great for cake, breads, brownies, etc.
It washes well in the dishwasher. A great buy overall!

Zyliss Soft Skin Peeler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I certainly agree with the reviewer who said this peeler performed awesomely on peaches. (It also works nicely on nectarines and other soft fruit.) It also comes with a hard plastic blade guard that protects the blade when it's tossed in a drawer. Like others, I purchased this item for the wrong reason (in order to qualify for the extra $25 off an order of $125 or more), but I am certainly glad I did.
5/11/06: This peeler also does a fine job on ripe tomatoes (for those who do not wish to peel using the traditional scalding method).
11/04/06: I have purchased several for 'stocking stuffers'. You might consider doing the same.

Zyliss Food Chopper, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is by far one of my favorite kitchen utensils. I can dice, mince, etc. most vegetables so much faster and more evenly with this than I can with a chef's knife. Also, when I chop onions, I cry less with the chopper because the onions stay contained underneath the pastic so the fumes cannot get to my eyes. My only complaint, and it is minor, is that it is a bit tricky to clean. You don't want to just dunk it in water, because it will make the mechanical part rusty, so you have to hold the button down to clean the blade. But this is a very minor issue to me.

The Zyliss Food Chopper quickly cuts up fruit and vegetables in its cup or on a chopping board. Each time you press the plunger, the blade extends, cuts the food, and rotates to a new position. Wipers rotate automatically with the blade, keeping the sides of the cup clean and ensuring that no food is missed. An attractive and innovative time-saver!

Zyliss 12040 Jumbo Garlic Press with Cleaner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using this garlic press for over two years now and consider it to be the best press I have ever used! The well for the garlic is very large, accommodating more than one garlic clove at a time. When only pressing one or two cloves, you don't really have to peal the cloves, the pressing action does it for you! A little more hand pressure is required when pressing more than two cloves at a time. Cleanup is a breeze with hot soapy water.

A kitchen essential, this jumbo-size garlic press makes it easy to cook with fresh garlic. The unit can accommodate several cloves at a time, with a clever design that eliminates the need for peeling prior to pressing. Simply place unpeeled cloves into the oversized hopper and firmly squeeze the ergonomic handles together. The press instantly removes the peelings and extracts the garlic bits and juice through its mesh shield, creating a fine dice that would have otherwise required several steps with a knife and cutting board. Best of all, its included cleaning tool sports tiny teeth that fit perfectly into the pressing surface, removing all traces of garlic fragments in one smooth move. Use the handy tool to add fresh garlic to authentic Italian dishes, delicious homemade breads, savory soups, and more.

Zyliss Herb Snippers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I grew a lot of fresh herbs this year. Rosemary, thyme. parsley, dill and many others. I love the fragrance and the fresh flavors have really kicked my culinary skills up a notch. What I like about these scissors is the feature that allows me to strip the leaves off the stems. Woody plants like Oregano and thyme are easy to snip and the leaves come off easily. As far as chopping though I still use a mezzaluna. I find that easier to mince with. But the scissors have their merit too. If your into fine needle work and sewing I can see these would be fine to have around. Just right for snipping herbs from the pots and and stripping the leaves from stems, I like it.

Zyliss Easy Spin Salad Spinner 4-6 Servings, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my favorite salad spinner, and I've tried several over the last couple years. It dries my lettuce very well, and has some useful features that I haven't seen in other spinners.
Like the old Zyliss spinner, you pull on a handle to spin the basket. But with this one the more you pull, the faster it spins, kind of like revving up a top or something. It spins much faster than those 'crank' spinners or the 'push down' type -and faster spinning means more water off your veggies.
As for the new features, here are my top five:
1) The lid is clear, so you can see the veggies spinning around in there and make sure you're not overfilling the spinner, the lettuce isnt bunching up in one corner, etc. OK, it's also just mesmerizing to watch your food spin round and round. Kind of like watching your clothes roll around in the dryer.
2) There is a brake! So after you've whipped your veggies into a frenzy, you can slam them to a stop -which also helps get more water off. This works better on the small sized spinner, since there is less weight to stop, but even on the big spinner it works very well. I have seen a brake on another spinner, but this one works much better.
3) The cord pulls itself back in -and gently: I disliked how the old 'string' spinners would yank on your arm, and if you didn't respond just right the string wouldn't pull in at all: it ends up just sitting there in a pile. You'd have to take the lid off and wind it up yourself! This new design winds the cord up every time.
4) The basket is smooth on the inside -that's something I defintely have not seen before. It's a subtle feature, but very helpful: it helps make sure little bits of your lettuce dont get stuck in the basket when you're cleaning it out.
5) You can stack things on top of it, both in the fridge and in the cupboard, because the top is mostly flat. The handle even sits in its own little pocket in the lid so that it's not in the way. In my house fridge space is valuable and I appreciate being able to stack this spinner like I do with my tupperware.
So, overall I am impressed with this spinner (so impressed that I've also given it as a gift!). It does its job very well and has thoughtful extra features which make it more helpful around the kitchen.

Zyliss Easy Slice Mandolin, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mandoline to replace a ten-year-old Boerner V-slicer which I though was getting a little dull and now I'm glad I didn't throw the old one away. I use a mandoline to get consistently thin, thin slices, and the Zyliss doesn't get the job done. Cutting with the .75-mm insert yields slices that vary between paper-thin and 1/16 of an inch thick -- a very long way from .75mm. I suspect the plastic used in the frame and insert is just too flexible or too poorly supported to provide thin slices every time.
In addition the rail-guide system is cumbersome and makes it very difficult to position food for slicing.
In short, for me, this product was a waste of money and the only product I've ever ordered from Amazon that I wish I could send back.
Buy a Boerner V-slicer instead: its a better slicer and it costs...less!

Zyliss Easy Slice 2 Folding Mandoline Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've never used a mandoline or v-slicer before, and soon after I bought this one I just let it sit, unused, in my kitchen for a few days. I felt like kicking myself for buying yet another nonessential kitchen gadget on a whim. That was before I actually used the Zyliss Easy Slice 2 Folding Mandoline to effortlessly slice onions, cucumbers, and limes.
The directions that come with the Easy Slice 2 Folding Mandoline are very brief and clear, but be sure to read them carefully when it comes to how to turn the dial for stowing away the julienne blades. Zyliss USA also has an instructional usage video/ad on their website for this gadget, which can be useful if you've never used a similar item.
I haven't tried to use this mandoline for anything beyond hard veggies and citrus, but the results I have obtained have been great. I had trouble initially since I wasn't sure what was the best orientation to stick fruits and veggies with different shapes, sizes, and textures into the included food holder, but that's something you experiment with and I think may be required of all mandolines and v-slicers. Originally I gave up on using the food holder, thinking it to be too bothersome since I couldn't get things to stick properly to the food holder prongs. But after several near accidents, I decided it was necessary since I didn't have a cut-resistant butcher's or filleting glove lying around. Another thing one needs to learn through experimentation is how much downward/sideways pressure to apply in order to cut food smoothly with the mandoline.
The food holder can hold round and more elongated objects, and the way it's designed it doesn't waste much food. I was slicing some thick cucumbers lengthwise, and at the end of a quick bout of slicing all that was left stuck to the food holder was a thick section of cucumber peel. Be careful that you don't poke/scratch yourself with the smaller bumps on the food holder food-contact surfaces.
Although I haven't had other mandolines to compare with, I like the fact that the dial on the Zyliss model obviates the need for swapping out blades. The negative of having the dial and unswappable blades is that it isn't that easy to get around the julienne blades for cleaning purposes.
Bottom Line:
The Zyliss Easy Slice 2 Folding Mandoline is an inexpensive slicing alternative that delivers easy, consistent cuts in a reasonably safe manner. It may, however, take some experimentation to figure out the right combination of pressure and positioning needed to properly slice different fruits and vegetables.

Zyliss Y Peeler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a drawer full of vegetable peelers in all sorts of styles, shapes and colors that I have accumulated over the years but theZyliss Y Peeler is the only one I ever use. It's really the best.
It is well designed and very accommodating to my individual needs. I have arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome and simple kitchen tasks such as peeling carrots are painful if not impossible but the Zyliss Y Peeler makes peeling much easier for me as well as more safe and comfortable.
I have been using different Y peelers for years now, ever since a Swiss chef I once worked with presented me with my first Y peeler as a little Christmas gift back in the 80s. Once I got use to it, I just loved it. I had that one for years but recently had to replace it. The original one had a short handle so I thought I'd experiment with the longer handle of the Zyliss and I'm glad I did. It feels great in my hand and causes no wrist pain when I grip it. It glides over everything I need to peel with the greatest of ease.
I never thought I'd be raving about a vegetable peeler but the Zyliss Y Peeler is so nice I must give this fine kitchen essential my most enthusiastic 5 stars!
