Progressive International 4 in 1 Flavor Injector Review

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.

Norpro Blending Fork Review

Norpro Cast Iron Pig Bacon Grill Press Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just had a chance to try out the bacon press tonight for BLT's--it works great! We love our bacon nice and crisp, and this little press does the job great and seems to speed up cooking time (perhaps because the cast iron "holds in the heat" while the bacon fries?). Bacon was crisp and delicious; the press prevents bacon curling and relieves you of the neverending task of flipping bacon over and over and over again when cooked conventionally. This press is a great addition to my kitchen; only gave it 4 stars, simply because it isn't quite as heavy as I would like, although it still performs well. Just make sure you season it before first use (directions in the box---just oil the press, oil a frying pan, then heat both together on VERY low heat for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and wipe excess oil off press). But don't use it with nonstick pans!

Even the best cut bacon can curl, making it difficult to cook evenly.The cast iron bacon press flattens the bacon, keeping it's shape for even cooking and the wooden handle stays cool while the press is in use.To speed up the process, pre-heat the press.

Norpro Polished 3-Cup Stainless Steel Hand Crank Sifter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My previous sifter has two mesh screens and two rotating wheels. The rotating wheels are activated by a squeezing handle. The most typical design. It was easy to use and quick. However, foods eventually trapped in between the mesh screens and they were impossible to get out. Washing it with water only made the matter worse. This is a very common problem. I had to replace it after only 2 months. Consequently, I shop for an old-fashion single screen sifter -- a sifter I can wash without worrying pieces trap inside the sifter.
After doing much research, I bought this Norpo 3-Cup sifter. It is made of 18/8 stainless steel, fitted with a single hemisphere mesh screen and a rotatable 4-wire agitator. The stainless steel body is rigid and the rotatable hand crank is smooth. Washing it is simple. The sifting is easy and the resulting flour is good. The price tag was slightly less than $10 which is very cheap, especially it was offered via the 4-for-3 program, so I probably only paid ~$8 for it.
Now, there are issues when I get this product. Although the product arrived relatively undamaged, it was not packed properly and it could have been badly damaged. The mesh screen was pushed slightly out of shape when it arrived and I had to mold it back to allow better contact with the 4-wire agitator. I assume the product was fine when it left the factory and the mesh screen was altered during shipping. These two problems do not directly speak about this product, but rather the potential problems when buying online. Because this is a single mesh screen sifter, the sifted flour is not quite as fluffy as my previous two screens sifter. Although the rotating action of this sifter is pretty simple, it is still not as simple to use as the hand-squeeze ones. In addition, the sifter action from the agitator can flick tiny amount flour outside of the cup, causing you to clean up the mess afterall. Despite its minor drawbacks, this sifter provides exactly what I am looking for and I am very happy.
I highly recommend this sifter if you are looking for a functional sifter which foods will not get stuck and easy to wash.

Norpro Tortilla Keeper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All in all, this is a great little item. I must warn you, though, if you put it in the microwave for the allowable minute or so, make sure to put the lid on upside down.
I put the lid on properly, as any normal person would, and found that once I removed it from the microwave, it had developed a vacuum seal with the main part of the container. I didn't know this is what happened and actually thought at first that it had melted together never to be usable again.
Well, after a while (maybe about ten minutes), the air inside cooled down enough to release the vacuum and I was able to use the container and get to the tortillas that had been imprisoned inside without a fair trial.
I use this often when making Olga-type bread. Unfortunately, it's a little shallow, so doesn't hold too many of those, but for plain flour or corn tortillas, it holds quite a few. I also use this to keep pancakes warm as I'm cooking them up.
In closing, I'd say this was definately worth the money.

Progressive International Regular Scoop Colander Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just love this scoop colander. You don't realize how large this scoop actually is from the picture and i'm so glad i got the regular size. It can handle larger portions of rice, pasta etc...and be just as useful for smaller portions unlike the small scoop. I pour out my rice and/or pasta into this colander over the sink and return it to the pot just as easily as it came out without spillage, and i don't necessarily have to wash up dishes first to make room for a regular colander. This thing is great i don't what more i can say.

Deluxe Pastry Blender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I make Irish Scones and need to cut room-temperature butter into flour. This tool did not cut it. It is flimsy and the blades very sooon bend into each other and are no longer evenly spaced. There are much heartier pastry blenders on the market. Don't buy this one.

This is the best pastry knife you will ever own. It's big, heavy construction. It's very bend resistant. And it's a very classy tool.Use this professional stainless pastry blender for your biscuits, scones, and pies!We prefer blades, not wires, on our pastry blenders. Wires work okay but once you use blades, you won't go back. Blades are more rigid and cut faster and finer through your pastry dough. It's irritating when the blades on your pastry knife bend. These are beefy to avoid bending. This is a quality, professional tool that you will be happy to add to your kitchen collection.

Norpro Grip-EZ Melon Chopper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the concept of this mellon cutter, and I thought I would find several uses for it. Unfortunately, it does not work well for what it was intended to do. It does not cut all the way through the mellon. It has serrated edges that are recessed just slightly, but enough to keep them for slicing all the way through the mellon.
I thought it might work to turn it over to the straight edge, but the handles will not allow it to work that way.
I did get my mellon cut, but it was cumbersome and took additional steps, that should not have been required. I tried it on cantaloupe and watermellon, and the results were the same.
Otherwise, it looks nice, and appears well made.

Natural Cheese Cloth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't believe how much money I've wasted on the cheap (expensive!) crap at the grocery store. For making stock, those are way too "holey" and trying to wash them to reuse is ridiculously impossible. In any event, if you make stock and end up with that gritty brown stuff at the bottom of your pot, you'll know what I'm talking about. (even after you've strained two times with that cheap stuff at the grocery store and "specialty" kitchen stores!)
I only cut one piece of this cloth so far (maybe 1/3 of original size) and have made gallons of stock and it's still strong as ever. My stock now comes out completely pure and clear, no grit at the bottom of the pot.
I can't believe how well this thing works and to top it off, I think that one small piece I cut off the cloth is going to last forever. It's large enough to lay over my metal strainer and I cook 20 quarts of stock at a time. I now only have to strain once. Whoopee!!!
To the person who says it shrinks. Well, that could be but you must have eagle eyes to figure out how much. No I do not put it in the dryer. why would you do that? I wash it out in the sink, soak it in a small bath with 1 tbs of bleach, rinse, then hang off my cabinet door knob to dry. I admit I skipped the bleach soak the last time and none of us got sick.
I kept thinking there had to be something else better out there and I FINALLY found it.
Buy it, you won't regret it.
P.S. I still use the cheap expensive stuff from the grocery store but only for Bouquet garni. I don't mind throwing out a few inches of that stuff, but treat this purchase like gold.

Progressive Stainless Steel Mesh Tea Ball 2" Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used many things for brewing tea and have found that this Mesh Tea Ball is the best. I have used the loose tea spoons, which have a closed metal design with little holes all around. The problem with those, is the smaller loose tea pieces escape leaving unpleasant floaties in my drink. I really like the mesh design. Loose tea bits do not escape and it is much easier to fill. I cannot believe I waitied so long before getting one. Now my tea is free from floaties. This mesh design allows more of the tea to be infused by the water....leaving a much more natural and pure taste as opposed to tea bags or metal spoons. Tea bags seem to filter too much sometimes.....metal spoons almost taste metallic at times.

Crock Pot 5-Piece Tool Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received these and tried a few out over the last couple of days, and they seem pretty nice. Be aware, the tongs are kind of large, an have a wide profile and flat bottom edges. Also, though the set pictures a slotted spoon, I actually received a second spatula, the second not slotted, instead of the spoon. I'm not sure if everyone will, or if this was temporary or an error.
