Victorio VKP1011 Apple and Potato Peeler, Clamp Base Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this peeler because our church sells apple pies as a fund raiser. This is fast and easy to clean. With a bit of hand trimming of the top and bottom core area, you are done. It slices the apples, cores them, and the peels can be recycled if you have animals that enjoy scrapes. I like the clap style, I place it on a board then put the bushel of apples on top of the board.

Love apples or potatoes but don't really care for the peel? The Victorio apple and potato peeler is here to help. For apples it can quickly peel, core and slice with a few turns of the handle. Just remove the coring blade and peeling potatoes is a snap. Plan on using it a lot? Don't worry, the unit is sturdy enamel-coated cast-iron and all the stainless steel blades are adjustable and replaceable. It will last for years even with heavy use. We are so sure we back it with a 5-year warranty. Clamp base will keep unit firmly in place on most countertops and tables. Also available in suction base model (VKP1010). For best results when potato peeling U.S. Number 1 grade potatoes are recommended.

Back to Basics IC10885 4-Quart Plastic Ice-Cream Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My aunt purchased one of these machines from K-Mart and had never used it and agreed to let me try it out since I had been wanting to make home made ice cream. Everyone raved about how I had made the most creamiest and delicious home-made ice cream with this machine on my first try. So I went to K-Mart and bought one for myself which was on sale for $20. I made the same recipe and had followed the same routine of pre-freezing the canister, paddle, and lid as well as chilling my ice cream. This time there was a lot of crystals on the bottom of the ice cream maker, but it still came out nicely. But when I go to use my machine for the second time it continuously stopped rotating during the beginning of the process so I couldn't actually make any ice cream. I tried time and time again to reposition the canister, but it would rotate once or twice, then stop. Also this time chunks of rock salt and ice would pop out of the machine and the ice even caused huge dents in the canister so I had to return it. It isn't worth it if the machine works maybe a handful of times. Having to worry about keeping the motor dry and away from melting ice, plus dealing with cleaning up all the ice and rock salt which was horrible on my hands is having me look into other machines such as the one offered by Cusinart. Very disappointed this didn't continue to work properly since it would've been nice to have a large 4-quart maker.

Proctor Silex 58130 8-Speed Blender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I liked the small footprint and low price of this blender. And it seemed to do well even crushing frozen strawberries for smoothies, but the parts do not fit snuggly together and I think this caused it to break. The entire spinning mechanism under the jug splintered and sent out acrid smoke one morning and that was it for this blender. It is worth it to get a slightly pricy model made with hardier materials.

Progressive International Collapsible Canning Funnel, Green Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this collapsable funnel. I am a kitchen gadget junkie and in the scheme of things, this is hardly a high tech gadget but it gets the job done exactly as I needed. The best part is that when I am done it collapses into a much smaller package so that it is easily stored in the drawer. As a bonus, it also offers a piece that fits onto the bottom which serves to strain whatever is being funneled. Perhaps it made note of this on the description but I missed it so this was a nice surprise.

Swing-A-Way Peeler, Surgical Stainless Blade, Non-Slip Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't recommend this vegetable peeler because it's as dull as a stone! Don't they sharpen these things at the factory? It scrapes rather than cuts.
I gave it 2 stars because the handle is comfortable and if I'm able to sharpen the blades myself, it might become a decent tool.

Vita-Mix 1319 Professional Series, Onyx Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This blender beats the competition by a mile. There are several things that set it apart besides the power and design, which allows perfectly smooth smoothies, sauces and soups if you want them that way. I reviewed a previous model that is no longer available and notice there's a new model out that doesn't have the middle knob. While you'd still get the easy cleanup, power and reliability of the Vita-Mix, that knob (which is on this model) is something I really value because it allows you to change the speed by infinite degrees during processing.
I find this particularly important when processing hot liquids as you can get a wet 'explosion' if you try to start a blending process too fast, which causes the heat to suddenly expand the contents. I did this once with my small personal blender--bad idea. With this Vita-mix model, you can start at a very low speed and turn the speed up gradually to high. Starting at a slow speed also gets larger items broken up so a good flow can be established to the blending process sooner. I've found the speed control greatly enhances the ability to get the results I want, including dicing small quantities instead of pureeing them, if needed.
I've had my unit for years and have never had any problems. It's a great machine. It gets most any job done just the way you want it. It's no wonder professional chefs choose Vita-Mix over others. Highly recommended.

Cuisinart DFP-3 Handy Prep 3-Cup Food Processor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Having picked this item up on an Amazon special, I must first say that the price-performance ratio is excellent. The machine comes with several blades and a chute attachment. If you have used a Cuisinart machine before, assembly and operation will be very, very simple. That the pieces are dishwasher safe is a boon, as well. I like this little processor; its small size is just right for our empty nest food prep.
There are a couple of things Cuisinart could perhaps rethink. It is awkward to remove the slicing or shredding blade. The plastic used on several of the pieces seems vulnerable to staining. The shredding blade seems, for some ingredients, to "pulverize" better than to shred. It would also be nice to have at least one other size of slicing disc and a plastic chopping blade included. Those refinements would make this machine nearly perfect for me.
Still, this sturdy workhorse is a welcome addition to our kitchen. Those who have smaller amounts of ingredients to prep will find that it is a useful complement to other kitchen tools.

Amco Advanced Performance Measuring Cup Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Several years back I bought a set of Amco stainless steel measuring cups that look identical to how these do. I needed another set, so I bought them here, thinking they were the same.
They're not.
My original set is decently heavy (if I get a chance, I'll update this post with the difference in grams), heavy enough for even the 1/4 cup to stand freely and level on its circular base.
The handles on my original set are heavy duty and cannot be bent.
This set's 1/4 cup doesn't stand freely on its own. It tips onto its handle, and its handle can be bent.
In short, they're lower quality, but if you've never owned a set, maybe that won't bother you.
Additionally, in my opinion, these stainless steel cups are much better than the average plastic cups for baking. The handles are designed better for scooping things like flour, and I really like having the markings for when I want to use the 1 cup measurer to measure, say, a half cup. I find stainless steel is easier to clean up too and they never melt and crack in the dishwasher like I've had plastic cups do.
Meanwhile, I'm still searching for a set that's as high quality as my original Amco cups...
22.Feb.2011 Update:
As previously mentioned, I'm listing weight differences below that support my review's complaint:
Weight differences in grams for the original Amco stainless steel measuring cups I own versus this set:
Size,Original,This Set, % Reduction

Waring Health Professional Juice Extractor (New, Exclusive) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Waring Pro Professional Juice Extractor JEX328 to use when I visit the USA. I originally wanted to buy L'Equip Mini Pulp Ejector Juicer, an excellent juicer that I use at home in the UK, but it was a bit pricey so I found a reconditioned Waring at a very good price on the internet (approx. $25).
Pros: sturdy / easy to use / comes with spout cleaner and its own jug which the L'Equip does not
Cons: Bit noisy / quite large and cumbersome / takes longer to clean than the L'Equip / lower yield than the L'Equip and some chunks of fruit and vegetables found in waste basket / pusher tends to stick sometimes
Although I definitely notice a difference between the two machines, I enjoy using the Waring, and consider it a good juicer for the price I paid.

Flying Tiger Shark Plane Decal Sticker Mixer cover Kit red, white, navy blue, and black, designed to fit all KitchenAid stand mixers, including Pro 600, Artisan, Ultra Power, 4, 5, 6 qt quart mixers, without accessory interference. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, here's the gift for the cook who has everything. I have a white Kitchenaid mixer. I love it, but it looks like everyone's mixer. Not anymore. I saw Alton Brown's mixer on Good Eats one night, googled, and found FlameKA.com. Then I comparison shopped--basically everyone is charging the same price.
I got this one because it looked different from the flames. Also, my husband is a WWII buff, and he got a kick out of this set.
These decals are very heavy duty and thick. Easy to put on, and they're not coming off easily. The instructions provided are fine, but this is so easy you don't need much in the way of instructions.
FlameKA ships fast and isn't a big ripoff for shipping charges.
I know it seems like a lot of money to decorate a mixer, but I am going to have this mixer for a very long time, so break the cost down to a monthly cost, or something that will make you feel better. I spent a lot of money on the mixer, so why not a few more bucks making it special?
