Citrus Express Review

Citrus Express
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had this handy dandy little uni-tasker for about 10 years, believe it or not. I love it. Clean up is easy, take it apart and put it in the dishwasher. It only has 3 parts that you seriously use. Looking to get a new one soon, glad they are still on the market.

Makes perfect fruit slices every time! A product that peels, slices, and makes juice perfectly! Cut the fruit in two, and to remove the fruits core, plunge the citrus corer into the center of the fruit while turning. Firmly press a fruit-half on the wedge cutter. Place the cover on the wedge cutter and turn it one full turn, and you have beautiful fruit segments, ready to serve!

This is the handiest, most useful little tool. I was always burning my fingers getting the canning lids out of the hot water. This has the little magnet on the end that just lifts them right up so you can then put them on the jars. I love it. Very inexpensive, too.

Amco Corn Cutter Review

Why waste your time chewing on a corn cob. Cook the corn and then strip the corn from the cob in a matter of minutes. We had an older cheaper version of this one that we ended up wearing out after a few years, but this one is top of the line. Once you use this, you will never eat corn on the cob again or want corn out of a can.

Progressive International Pineapple Corer Review

Progressive International Pineapple Corer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I slice quite a bit of pineapple and was looking for a helpful tool. This didn't work. The metal blade is too flimsy for the heavy duty job of slicing through pineapple. With quite a bit of pressure and elbow grease, it barely cut through. You have to cut the pineapple manually to almost a perfect "square" before even using the tool, quite a bit of wasted fruit. The core section usually yields core in your final slice and cuts away good fruit. Messy and time consuming. Extremely dissapointing. Not even worth committing precious drawer space for. I've now since seen it at my local grocery store and Target.

Progressive International Egg Slicer Review

Progressive International Egg Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wrote a good review first because of the versatility of this slicer but after using it for a couple of months it started falling apart on me. Two wires have already broken and others are sagging like they are ready to break. I don't use this slicer very much and I only use it on eggs that's why I can't believe it's doing this. I feel the concept is great but the quality really lacks on this slicer that is why the 2 stars.
update: About all of the wires are broken on this, it's now completely useless, I might of got a bad one but I don't think so it looks like all of the wires were rusted where they are connected to the sides like some of the water didn't drain off so they rusted through. Well it's time to look for a new slicer. Oh and I took it down one star since it is basically a doorstop now.

Progressive International Avocado Slicer Review

Progressive International Avocado Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am an avacado fan. So, when I came across this tool, I thought, "aha... something to save me time in the kitchen". Well, that's only partially true.
If I have an avacado the same width as the avacado slicer, then all is right with the world. A simple motion of pressing into the avacado half and pulling towards me, and I end up with evenly spaced slices. What could be simpler or quicker!
Alas, there is a downside. If your avacado is smaller in width than the slicer, your in for a messy situation. The slicer no longer slides through the avacado, it gets caught on the tough skin (it is wider than the avacado in this situation) and the once even slices are now mashed and part of the avacado peel sticks to the slicer. I spent more time cleaning up after the slicer and my slices were no longer uniform. In this case, I would have been better off using my knife.

Progressive International Collapsible Party Carrier Review

Progressive International Collapsible Party Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bring one of three things to parties: Rhubarb meringue pie, Bundt cake, or deviled eggs. While researching another product, I discovered this amazing carrier that was apparently made just for me!
The collapsible dome easily clears my meringue. And the reversible interior trays can hold two "flat" pies or two dozen deviled eggs. (Each tray has 12 slots for eggs. So 24 egg "halves.")
At first, I was a bit concerned about the latches that hold the domed top to the base tray, but they lock solidly and haven't opened during transport.
The handle also doesn't seem very sturdy, but it easily supports a couple pies.
The only complaint I have is that the little locking nubs on the legs of the interior tray will wear down or get scraped off after a few uses. The legs are made of a fairly soft plastic. I don't think this will be a problem, but it's my only complaint.
We'll see how the rubber (maybe silicone?) area holds up over time. Hopefully it won't get brittle with age because I plan to use this carrier for decades.
The interior trays fit inside the carrier with the dome collapsed to it even stores easily.
It's labeled as dishwasher-safe, but I'm going to hand wash to hopefully extend the life of the flexible areas.
I've never found a baked-goods carrier I was happy with before. But I love this goofy gadget.

Progressive International 4 in 1 Flavor Injector Review

Progressive International 4 in 1 Flavor Injector
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My husband and I bought this flavor injector to replace the one that came with out Ronco rotisserie. It was a better price than a new one from the Ronco site, and it definately better made. The whole plunger unit is thicker and the finger holes are rubberized and easy to grip. On our old one we would commonly get the needle stuck and it would pull out of the unit - this one seems better designed and able to bear up under that pressure. I like that it injects both solids (garlic) and liquids, though my husband thought it was still difficult to press the garlic through (but not impossible). Best part is that you can store all the pieces inside the body so that you don't lose anything in your gadget drawer.

I just ordered and received this product, awesome delivery time.
You can't tell from the picture on here but the six "spokes" are on the top of the circular rings, therefore creating dividers in the space available.
If I was to do it again I think I would have bought the more expensive rack from Kitchen Krafts that says it has no dividers and holds more jars.
As it is, I have a tall enough pot that I will just turn the rack upside down and see how it goes.

Samson 6 in 1 Electric Wheatgrass Juicer Review

Samson 6 in 1 Electric Wheatgrass Juicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a nice product - it's heavier & larger than I would have expected, but it is simple to use.
It juices pretty much everything, and the pulp that is left over is really quite dry - more so than a lot of the centrifugal juicers I have used.
I went for this model over some of the others because I wanted something that was a little more multipurpose. So far I have made several batches of pasta with it - really rather good too!
Cleaning is straightforward, there's not that many nooks & crannies to get worked up about, the screen cleans easily with any soft brush, the toothbrush supplied is good enough.
In all there's the outer housing for the auger, the auger itself, the screen and the end cap & nozzle. These parts have all made it through the dishwasher - the screen is the only piece you really need to do by hand... the other bits all seem to come perfectly clean with a good rinse in hot water (after juicing, anyway).
The auger does it's job nicely, the motor seems to be suitably powerful.
About as loud as a regular food processor.
The only thing I would say is that perhaps the buttons should be sealed.
The instruction manual is simplistic, but there are a wealth of recipes available elsewhere.
