HP3A Blendtec 3 hp Food Fruit Blender Blend-tec Review

(More customer reviews)
If you're serious about getting a real blender, it comes down to Blendtec and Vita-Mix. I don't think you can go wrong with either of these "real" blenders. All the others are fine, I guess. I'd been making do with a classic Waring and a cheap new thing that promised to circulate the contents in some kind of wave motion. Whatever. They both made enough noise to drown out a helicopter landing on my roof, and I seriously feared they'd fly apart and I'd die from shrapnel wounds. And they were such a pain to clean that I regretted pulling them out of the cupboard in the first place. I needed something better, and man, did I find it!
I chose the Blendtec for the following reasons:
-it's smaller
-no knobs or crevices to clean or gum up
-square pitcher pours better
-3 HP motor (!)
-excellent design and choice of materials
-Vita-Mix is incredibly ugly -- I wonder if that was on purpose or just some unfortunate accident?
-relatively quiet -- if you want to hear loud, come over and I'll dig out my old blenders and make you a smoothie
-Extremely easy to clean
Yes, I love it and haven't found anything about it I'd change.

Progressive International GPC-4000 Fruit and Vegetable Chopper Review

Progressive International GPC-4000 Fruit and Vegetable Chopper
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While this product seems to scream "As seen on TV!", it really is quite useful.
This week, I used this product to prepare the following:
Sun: Pizza toppings (olives, mushrooms, peppers, onions)
Mon: Soup (celery, onions, carrots)
Tue: Salsa (tomatoes, onions, peppers)
Tue: Spanish rice ( onions, celery, peppers, tomatoes)
Wed: Pad thai (broccoli, peppers, onions)
Thur: Stuffed peppers (onions, zucchini, peppers, mushrooms)
Everyday: Salad (apples, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, hardboiled egg)
Fri: Apple cake (apples)
Sat: Oatmeal (apples)
The chopper is a little more work to clean than a knife, but MUCH faster and still easy to clean with the included cleaning comb. (don't lose it) Cleaning is little more than rinsing usually. I run it through the dishwasher every few days.
If you don't need to prep a lot of ingredients like I listed or you don't really care if your items are minced/ diced/ sliced into identical shapes, then you don't need this. However, if you do a lot of chopping/ mincing/ slicing and you like it when your finished pieces are all identical (I do!), then this chopper can not be beat. It is very durable but requires a fairly strong push. My children can't push through the same items that I can, but if I take out half the items, then they too enjoy seeing the neatly chopped pieces.

Kitchen King Pro Complete Food Preparation Station Review

Kitchen King Pro Complete Food Preparation Station
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Over the years, I have tried several versions of this type of product ( they seem to come around every few years) and I am very pleased with the Kitchen King Pro model.
Two innovations here:
Suction cup base keeps the unit in place - MUCH better then holding one side of the unit, and an alternate orientation of the "arm" you use to spin the blades-- much , MUCH easier to use, in my opinion.
The Pro unit has a tri-blade system, which may be an upgrade to the duo-blade system on older units.
This one also has a "Julienne" and "Mandolin" inserts, making this an outsrtanding value. You also get a salad spinner insert and a whippiping/mixing attachment.
The build quality is better than most, and the bowl is larger than other models. Storage lid too! UNLIKE lesser units, the bowl does not crack, nor get a "white haze look" after you use it frequently.
This unit is handy for everyone, but ideal for singles, college age , or seniors- the ease of use compared to electric really make you use it! FANTASTIC for salsa, tuna or chicken salad, and sensational for super-fast cole slaw. Honestly, it takes only seconds to prepare most things, and under a minute to clean.
This one has had a life as an infomercial product, and continues to be promoted on a leading television shopping network. Really a nice product, worth your consideration.
I became aware of this model when working on lacation for a TV show - the catering people had several, and used them daily.

i got this as a gift expecting it to be banged up, or something off about it, since it was reconditioned. This item came with the manuals and was packaged as if brand new. I would not know it was anything but pristine. I threw my old bigger food processor away. This is a great item, chops very fast and sharp. whats really cool is how the blade flips over for grinding denser foods such as nuts or ice without dulling the sharp blade. Highly recommended.

KitchenAid Artisan Custom Metallic Series 5-Quart Mixer Review

KitchenAid Artisan Custom Metallic Series 5-Quart Mixer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Only a true Kitchen Aid mixer fan would buy so many of these. I started out over twenty years ago with a cream one, traded, then got the 5 qt industrial gray and gave it to my sister, then a black 5 qt which my husband gave to a friend because he felt we didn't need two, and my favorite, this one. I also gave a cobalt blue 5 qt to my brother in law although he rarely cooks and often works in Belgium and Japan; and a bright red one for another friend. I sold commercial restaurant equipment for 17 years and their products were essential to our business so I write from more than personal experience.
For my home with cherry cupboards the rich copper mixer earns a place on my counter. This is a hard working and beautiful companion in the kitchen especially if you can't afford the space or price of its larger model. I will be getting the new sweep batter paddle for it next since I already have grinders, juicers and every other attachment.
Just remember these are very heavy and should go on the counter rather than on a shelf or in the garage. Use the paddle for mixing heavy batters and the dough hook for bread. Don't get stuck using just the wire whisk for everything. I keep all the paddles in the bowl.

Oster Fusion Blender - BRLY07B Review

Oster Fusion Blender - BRLY07B
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have had a Vita-Max for almost 7 years now. While the Vita-Mix can't be beat power wise it has some very important weaknesses. First it is very expensive. I paid almost $600 for mine. Second, if you use protein poweder in it you have to not only rinse it immediately, you have to blend water in it to clean the protein powder grit out of it so that it doesn't destroy the blade assembly. I have went through three blade assemblies in the last 7 years. This with following their directions for blending water in it after using it. Third, the plastic (polycarbonate) containers crack at the bracing points. I have went through 8 containers in 7 Years.
I bought the Oster Fusion because I wanted a simple blender for blended drinks and the like and I didn't want to have to worry about destroying the blade assembly. I have had the Oster Fusion for nearly 4 months now and I still love it. It is powerful, easy to use, great blender container and wonderful rubber seal lid. I have made not only blended coffee drinks, smoothies, milk shakes, slurpies, but have also made salsa, apple sauce, wheat berry pancakes and more in it and it works wonderfully. I am especially impressed with the blenders ability to chop things like salsa and applesauce in to consistent size peices. Not even my Vita-Mix could do that.
The only reason I am giving it 4 stars and not 5 is because you can't reverse the blender yourself, reversing is only done in the two pre-programmed modes. I would like to have a rocker switch that I could move back and forth to reverse and then forward the blades myself. The preprogrammed cycles work great for me. If you drop in a whole tomato or something that can't get down in to the blades of the semi-funnel shaped blender container then it isn't going to be able to blend it. I am for peices that are 1 to 1-1/2-inches in size and I have never had a problem.
As for blending drinks with ice, the instructions say to put the liquid in first and then the ice or ice like stuff (frozen fruit, etc.) I have no issues with this not working. In fact here are two recipes for you.
Ice-Cream Free Strawberry Milk Shake
2 Cups of Frozen Strawberries, thawed for 30 minutes
1-1/2 cups of Milk
1/2 Cup of Half and Half or Whole Milk
4 Packets of Equal
1 Tablespoon of Lime Juice
Place all of the liquids in to the blender container and then add the frozen berries. You want to thaw the frozen berries for about 30 minutes so that they aren't rock hard but still frozen. Use the pre-programmed Frozen Drinks and Shakes mode. As test to see if the berries are frozen but soft enough I use a meat mallet on them. If they can be smashed without a lot of hard heavy pounding they are ready. The frozen berries provides the freezing component to make the shake. It is also best to use really nice ripe berries. We buy berries each year when they are at their peak, prep and freeze them ourselves.
Salsa
2 whole fresh tomatoes (garden fresh are best, but use the best you can get)
1 Jalapeno, seeded and stem removed
1 Small/Medium Can Whole Green Chilies, Drained
1 Can of Diced Tomatoes with Chilies
3 Tablespoons Lime Juice
1/4 Cup Cilantro
1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt (use 1/2 as much or to taste for table salt)
1/4 Medium Red Onion, cut in to chunks
2 Cloves Garlic
Core the tomatoes and cut them in to 1 to 1-1/2-inch pieces and place them in the blender container. Seed and stem the jalapeno and cut in to 1/4's. Add the can of whole green chilies after you drain them. Use the Food Chop mode and then empty the blender container in to a large bowl. Add the canned tomatoes, cilantro, salt, lime juice, garlic and onion in to the blender container and use the Food Chop mode. Add this to the bowl, mix well and then taste. Adjust salt as needed. You can also add some black pepper if you wish.
As for other reviews, people need to understand that nothing made by man or women is perfect. You will (more often now-a-days then in times past) get a lemon, this is the price we pay for being able to get technology at rock bottom prices. Even at $500 plus the Vita-Mix isn't perfect either. Sometimes I think people either don't follow directions or have very un-real expectations. I love my Oster Fusion and I am not sorry I bought it.

World Cuisine A4982799 Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For the money this is not a bad spiral slicer considering some list for over 100 dollars. The real sticking point is the fixed forward axle for whatever you are slicing. It consists of a round hollow cutting edge with an approximate 3/8 opening. This simply means whatever you are slicing will lose a 3/8 cylinder from its center. This is accepatable with Cucumbers and Zuchini but does not leave much when slicing Carrots, Raddishes or any other small diameter veggies.
I would not recommend this if you intend to use it for these smaller veggies but for potatoes, Apples and the like it is OK.

All the gripes people have here are legit, that this is not substitute for a food processor unless you are looking for only chopping, which was the case for me.
As everyone else agrees, the blender part is great.
The "food processor" unit is excellent too for chopping only. The jar is large enough for two big onions or three medium onions (in quarter slices) at a time. But if you want slicing, grating etc. you need to buy some rare accessories that are not available on Amazon, Ebay, or even Oster website. May be you can call them to get those ... But I didn't need them and so didn't bother to. If you really want a combo that can do the job of both a blender and food processor, buy the Hamilton Beach combo.

Magic Bullet 25 piece Deluxe Set - New Bullet Extras Review

Magic Bullet 25 piece Deluxe Set - New Bullet Extras
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Of course it doesn't work exactly like the informercial. It can't really defy the laws of physics (or cooking), but it's great at what it does do (chop and blend small amounts of things), and it's super easy to clean (my favorite part, a blender that isn't a huge hassle clean!). I also like that it isn't at all bulky like a full size blender. I can just leave the base out on the counter, and all the parts and accessories fit into one drawer. I've had mine for only a few days and I've been using it several times a day already for smoothies, coffee drinks and egg dishes.
A couple of warnings, though...
To get the most out of this product you need to read the manual (seriously, I don't normally read the manuals for products I buy, but this one is extremely useful). A lot of the concerns that I've seen in the reviews I've read are adressed there, and there's lots of tips about little things you can do to get the bullet to work better (which blade to use for different foods, how to get the big chunks of things that resist blending to blend, how to clean and care for the bullet so that it's a lot less likely to break, etc.).
However, a few of the recipes in the manual just don't work. So if something sounds like it wouldn't work, it won't. You can't make nacho cheese sauce out of cheddar cheese and jalepenos with no liquid. That just makes a big clump of cheese. The only thing I can think of is that they meant Velveta (and I think that must be what they were using on the infomercial). Omlets that have everything blended into the eggs are also not a good idea...they just don't cook properly (however, the same recipe makes a good breakfast scramble). So yeah, you've got to use some common sense when you try out some of the recipes that come with this thing, because obviously whoever wrote these recipes either didn't know what they were doing or left some stuff out...
But all in all, I love this thing, and I think I'll be using it a lot.

Few are the times when you feel good after spending >$500 on kitchen stuff, but this is one of those. Looks good, and performs even better. Fairly easy to clean, and even the little booklet that comes with it provides classic knowledge in the fine art of French cooking (you can tell it's a direct translation from French; like set oven to 355°F....).
Had it for 2 weeks now, and it feels like I can do things with more confidence compared to the various brands I have had before (name it, and I probably owned it). This is a "no BS" machine that does what it says, period! And quietly, I might add.
This together with my Le Creuset cookware are my favorites in the kitchen right now.

I had been researching dehydrators for months and finally decided on this one. I am happy I did. I have dried veggies, fruits, made jerky and fruit leathers so far. It is easy to use, has great recipes and works well. It is nice to be able to give the kids snacks that are not full of sugars and things no one can pronounce. I only wish it had a timer. I will probably use a regular timer and plug it into that.
Pros: *fan not in bottom of unit - allows for more uniform drying
*temperature control
*size - fits nicely on a kitchen counter
*availability of accessories
*ease of use
Cons: *no timer
*no on/off switch - you have to unplug the unit to turn it off

Dry fruit, vegetables, and jerky in hours instead of days with this 700-watt food dehydrator. The unit's patented Converga-Flow drying system forces air down the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray, converging in the center, for fast, even, and nutritious drying. Flavors don't mix, and there's no need to rotate the trays. Its top-mounted fan eliminates the worry of liquids dripping into the heater chamber, and an opaque Vita-Save exterior helps block harmful lights in order to retain more of the food's nutrients and vitamins during the drying process. The unit's adjustable thermostat ranges from 95 to 160 degrees F, providing the flexibility needed to ensure excellent results. Five trays come included, but the unit can be expanded to up to 12 trays (additional trays sold separately) for drying larger quantities at one time. Accessories include two fruit roll sheets, perfect for drying semi-liquids like soups, sauces, and fruit rolls; two Clean-A-Screen flexible screens, which allow for easy drying of small items such as herbs, spices, and potpourri; and three original jerky spice packets for making jerky. A 52-page recipe and instruction book also comes included. With a sleek, contemporary design, the food dehydrator measures approximately 13 by 13 by 10 inches. From the Manufacturer

Average Reviews:

I bought this grinder to replace a similar one I had. This one grinds nicely and the set up is easy. I like the rubber pads that are included to protect the table. The main reason I purchased this is because it is dishwasher safe. I have used it several times over the last couple months, and it is holding up well. The only problem I have had is that the screw that holds the handle on looks like it is rusting. It has a metal gear which was getting pretty tight after a couple uses, but oiling it loosened it right up. The gear appears to be permanently in place which I hope won't become a problem with cleaning, but at least it won't end up in the disposal like the plastic one in the grinder I had before.

I bought this attachment to go along with the food grinder attachment (sold separately.) Wow - I can't believe how quickly I can make fresh applesauce. I simmer quartered apples - seeds, cores, peels, and all - until tender, then send them through the strainer. In minutes, I have fresh, hot applesauce. The refuse is expelled through the end and into another bowl, so you never have to worry about all that peeling and coring.
Tomato sauce? Just as easy. Fresh quartered tomatoes go in one end; the juice/pulp and the seeds come out separately. After that, it's only a matter of cooking the sauce down.
The strainer is a great addition to my kitchen.

Vitamix Tritan Copolyester 32-Ounce Container with Dry Blade, Lid, and Recipe Book Review

Vitamix Tritan Copolyester 32-Ounce Container with Dry Blade, Lid, and Recipe Book
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a huge Vitamix fan and have used one for many years. Mine didn't come with a dry blade container so I purchased one separately more recently. There's no question that it does a great job with coffee and whole grains, but the regular container works fine for some of those things, too. Recently I started grinding my own grains for bread on occasion. For example, I couldn't find sunflower seed flour so bought some kernels and made my own. I found the regular container made this flour meal just as well as this dry blade container did. Both were fast and effective. The regular container also made wheat flour, powdered sugar and other nut flours just fine. This container did a better job with coffee however.
Then, as long as I was experimenting, I decided to make my morning smoothie in this smaller container, and voila, it worked great, so I've been using this small one more for smaller quantities of things than because the blade is different.
All in all, I'm healthier because of the Vitamix which has proven its worth many times over. I like having the second smaller container and use it regularly, but not necessarily for dry processing since both blade types seem to handle the majority of things. I haven't used the recipe book (which didn't come with my container when I bought it some time ago) so I can't speak to that, but I do believe the container itself is a nice addition to my Vitamix, though not a requirement. One last note: the regular tamper also works with this container because of the tamper's graduated size and this container's smaller plug size.

Designed specifically for grinding grains with the Vita-Mix appliance, this large 32-ounce dry-blade container can be used as a replacement jar or a second jar. The see-through unit allows for keeping an eye on the process, while its hardened stainless-steel blades quickly and thoroughly grind. In addition to grinding fresh flour, it can also be used to grind beans, rice, and soybeans into flour for gluten-free recipes. A recipe book comes included. The container's drip-free spout ensures graceful pouring, and its raised calibrations make it easy to measure in ounces, cups, or metrics. The included two-part locking lid offers a secure spill-proof fit, removes easily, and vents to allow hot or cold food to expand and contract. The lid also supplies a removable measuring cap for adding ingredients during operation. Furthermore, the unit's made from Eastman Tritan copolyester material, which makes it virtually unbreakable, BPA-free, and more chemical resistant. The 32-ounce container measures 7-1/2 by 9 by 13-1/2 inches and carries a full five-year warranty.

Another irreplaceable classic kitchen utensil handed down to me from my great grandmother. This utilizes a bygone era in cooking that never stops working, for years to come. No electricity, no batteries, nothing to break or stop running. Ideal for making carrot salad, coleslaw, etc., all manually and perfectly so. Well worth the investment. Get this before they stop making them all together.
