Norpro Silicone 11.5 Inch Medium Red Scoop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is probably the most ingenious little tool, for the sheer fact that the rubber head pops off of the handle so you can throw it in the dishwasher without ruining the wood. Brilliant. Handle is comfortable, spoon head is nice and wide and sturdy...I plan on ordering at least 2 to 3 more and replacing my other crappy rubber spoon/spatulas. Highly recommend!

Black & Decker FP2500 PowerPro Wide-Mouth 10-Cup Food Processor, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
1 - 500 watt motor is more powerful than most other food processors
2 - Two speeds allows a little more precision during use
3 - Suction cup feet hold it pretty steady even when chopping a lot of veggies
4 - Comes with a dough kneading blade
5 - No louder than my little 3 cup chopper when running
6 - Has a wide mouth chute (see cons below)
7 - Large capacity (10 cups)
Cons
1 - No convenient way to store the cutting disc or blade when not in use. Both won't fit in the bowl during storage. The B&D FP2500S model comes with the storage lid. Or you can order it for $9.95 (part # - 07239GZ4)
2 - Goofy feeder chute only allows you to continually feed food into the small chute. In order to use the wide mouth chute, the chute must be removed, stopping the machine.
3 - Like most other Food processors, will only hold about 3 cups of liquid before it runs over to top of the shaft and leaks out the bottom. This is common with most brands and this model is no different.
4 - Having to lock the bowl on the base, the lid on the bowl, and the chute on the lid before the thing will run; is a pain. I understand the B&D is trying to make sure no one gets hurt using this thing but...geezz.
I own several higher end appliances from Kitchen Aid and Cuisinart. No one is going to mistake this food processor for one from either of those two companies. That being said, at $60 bucks it is one third the cost of a comparable sized Kitchen Aid unit.
I have owned this unit for a couple of weeks and have used it on about a dozen different chores. Overall it performs very well. It shreds cheese easily assuming the cheese is cold. I have used it to chop nuts and make bread crumbs. And it shreds carrots well. It comes with a dough blade, but since I have been using my Kitchen Aid stand mixer (the one appliance I could not live without) to knead dough for 10 years, I doubt I will ever use this feature.
If you need an inexpensive food processor for occasional use...this unit should work well for you.

Slice, chop, shred, grate, or puree just about anything with this 500-watt food processor, an invaluable addition to any busy kitchen. The appliance offers a large 10-cup-capacity work bowl with a generous handle and a wide-mouth feed chute that accommodates whole apples, potatoes, onions, and other whole foods--no need to cut into smaller pieces first. Use the stainless-steel chopping blade, stainless-steel reversible slicing and shredding disk, or the dough blade depending on the task at hand. Choose from three soft-touch Mylar buttons for low speed, high speed, or pulse, which delivers an extra burst of power as needed. Other highlights include a safety-interlock system for peace of mind, heavy-duty suction-cup feet to keep the machine in place during operation, convenient cord storage, and dishwasher-safe removable parts for quick cleanup. Sleek and sturdy, the food processor measures 11 by 9-3/5 by 16-3/5 inches.

6qt Round Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Rival 6 quart slow cooker is falling apart after only six months. First the High/Low/Off switch broke off in my hand (and no, I did not manhandle it.) Then a carrying handle broke off, spilled hot stew everywhere and scalded my hands. Then the handle for the glass lid broke off under the weight of the glass lid alone, and the other carrying handle also broke off under the weight of the EMPTY crock pot (and I mean empty -- the metal shell only without the ceramic inner bowl.) The plastic of all the handles literally disintegrated.
There's really no excuse for this, My parents bought a Hamilton crock pot in the mid 1970s that still works today (after many moves.) My first experience with a Rival Product was their 4070 Hot Pot Express (which was excellent and has served me well for 12 years, though the RIVAL 4071 replaced -- and probably improved -- the 4070.) The 6 qt. round slow cooker cannot make the same claim.

Progressive International BBQ Grill Brush Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not all that effective. The 3 parallel scrubbers are handy, but they bend pretty easily.

Unique cleaning jobs require unique and well-crafted tools, like this patented grill cleaning brush from Progressive. A metal scraper along one edge allows for removing grime from the grill, while metal bristles and side-mounted brushes allow for cleaning between the wires. Its long handle allows for proper leverage when holding the brush, and its santoprene grip provides a non-slip hold. Crafted of stainless steel and santoprene, the brush is safe to clean in the dishwasher. A hook on the end allows for easy hanging storage.

Norpro Rotary Egg Beater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Upon receipt of the shipment from Amazon, I opened the box to find all the plastic components (in the handle of the beater) had come loose. Very poorly constructed. Item was immediately returned for credit.

Beating eggs, blending pancake batter, whipping cream or egg whites this sturdy hand beater is just the ticket. Heavy-duty nylon drive gears and nonstick tip beaters won\'t scratch your bowls while mixing/beating.

Norpro Nutmeg Grater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)the design of this grater is very nice. the fact that the nutmeg can be stored inside the grater makes it easy and convenient to use.

Freshly ground herbs and spices are so much more flavorful than their dried counterparts. The payoff compeletely justifies the small amount of extra effort. This nutmeg grater may also be used for grating chocolate, lemon rind or ginger.

Norpro V-Slicer Grater Mandoline with Safety Guard Holder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, the Norpro is %100 compatible with the Bron, including the Bron's replacement blades (available in a wide variety of sizes, though not at amazon--yet).
Safety: First, if you haven't put in at least a hundred hours on a mandoline, be sure to use protection. No, not that ...worthless/dangerous pusher. Use a butcher's glove (or "oyster glove"), preferably a chain mail one. You could get by with significantly more affordable Kevlar or "Fibers Woven with Stainless Steel Threading" ones, but you will be more prone to bruising and nicks. Second, keep your eye on the blade, not on the vegetable. Third, use smooth, swift strokes applying as much pressure toward the mandoline's face as you do on the stroke itself. Last, and most importantly- don't rush! Take your time, maintain your focus, zone out that burning smell coming from the oven.
The mandoline produces narrow shallow decorative crinkles. While waffle cut vegetables are quite possible with this sturdy industry standard, it takes a lot of adjusting and they come out thin without good definition of holes. For a better waffle cut consider a stand alone crinkle cutter. The washboard style ones typically aren't adjustable, so I'd recommend a hand held crinkle blade (look for deeper/wider scallops).
To produce uniform slices, you can either move the julienne blades to neutral or remove the blades completely. The first method often produces slices with nicks on them from where the slices catch on the hanging julienne blades. The second method is time consuming and may lead to eventually stripping out the nuts (so be careful not to over tighten).
This is a time saving and indispensable tool once you get accustomed to it. It could use more documentation.
