Norpro Egg/Mushroom Slicer Review

Norpro Egg/Mushroom Slicer
Average Reviews:

You are going to be amazed at this slicer when you try it out. It is extremely sturdy compared to the plastic ones that we have. It is entirely stainless steel, and you can clean this up quite easily. I have tried this wish mushrooms, eggs, and strawberries. The wires are slightly thicker than most. If you are looking for a good slicer this is the one you need.

Norpro Stainless Steel Avocado Slicer Review

After years of avocado eating, I decided it was time to try out an alternative method to almost slicing my fingers off while removing the flesh from avocados. This works nicely, makes a relatively thin slice (good for the waistline). It cleans up very easily, and is not too large to slide into my (already sagging)utensil drawer. My only complaint will be that it is not one-size-fits all as far as avocados go. I sliced up an avocado tonight, but the tool left a bit too much still inside the skin, which I consider a waste. I'm sure a little more practice in the wrist movement, and I will see less of this, but can't imagine trying to use it on the mammoth Mexican or Hawaiian avocados! Still, the slices are cleanly cut, a definite improvement to my hacked-up, manually cut slices of days gone by.

Norpro Ceramic Pie Bird Review

My mother always used a pie bird in her 2 crust fruit pies. I never really understood then, just thought it was cute. But, after seeing a cook on TV use one and gave the reason why, I tried it. And, oh my goodness did it ever work! If you use it right, you'll have a cooked, crisp bottom crust even with a 2 crust fruit pie. Promise. You just have to make sure you place the pie bird on top of the bottom crust BEFORE you place your filling. Pour the filling around the pie bird, and after rolling out your top crust, place a small "X" in the middle of the top crust and top your filling (so the "X" goes over the pie bird). Seal the edges and make a couple additional small vents with a knife and bake. Also, use a good glass pie pan!

Pie funnels are used in baking pies and prevent the pie from boiling over in the oven by allowing the steam created when the fruit filling or other contents are cooking to escape from inside the pie. How to use: Line the pie dish with pastry, place the "bird" in the centre, put in the filling around the "pie bird" then put a pastry top on but allowing the pie bird to stick out of a hole in the pastry . Pinch crust around the bird's shoulder, allowing the head to stick through the pastry. The bird will release steam through his mouth "vent" during baking and help to prevent juices from boiling over in the oven.

I got this so I could use it to remove the seeds and pith from jalapenos, but it's too big - and I grow really large jalapenos. However, it's very good for cleaning the seeds out of cucumbers.

Norpro 9 Inch Pie Crust Shield Review

Norpro 9 Inch Pie Crust Shield
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This shield is 9 1/4 inches in diameter. I have two pans from different manufacturers, and while they're called 9" pans, they're both actually 9 3/8 inches in diameter when you include the lip. Add to that the fact that most crusts will extend beyond the edge of the lip a little, and this thing isn't nearly big enough. There's no way it can cover the edge of a pie crust, at least with my 9" pie pans. I guess I should have measured my pie pans before purchasing, but I assumed the manufacturer of this item would have some idea of the actual dimensions of pie pans and would size their product accordingly.
I'll try a shield advertised as 10" next.
