Oster CG100 Electric Cheese Grater Review

Oster CG100 Electric Cheese Grater
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this as a gift, but I'm considering returning it after three days of use. The concept is excellent. The ease of use is excellent.
However, it's a virtually useless gadget. The motor is seriously underpowered and has a lot of trouble grating hard cheeses like parmesan. I tried using both drums, in case the finer drum was 'too fine', but it still took about 3 minutes to grate about 1/4 cup of cheese with the coarse drum.
For now, I'm sticking with my Microplane.

Börner Thin Julienne Vegetable Shredder Review

Börner Thin Julienne Vegetable Shredder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The product description states: "Features finger grips and non-skid feet."
The safety grip shown in the illustration does NOT come with the shredder and must be purchased separately. Nor is there any other finger grip. The shredder does NOT have non-slip feet. I was not happy about these discrepancies. It does cut a nice julienne. I kept it, but it is dangerous to use without some sort of hand grip. So I ended up paying an extra $7 for the hand grip. Not happy, not pleased with this brand, and will replace this product as soon as Kuhn Rikon comes out with something comparable.

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.

King Kutterking kutter clpbse with #1#3#4 (6004LN)
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.

Hamilton Beach 70800 Change-A-Bowl Multi-Bowl Slicer/Shredder Review

Hamilton Beach 70800 Change-A-Bowl Multi-Bowl Slicer/Shredder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review refers to the Hamilton Beach "Change -A Bowl"(Slicer/shredder) model 70800

This is a great little item. It allows you to easily prepare meals without a lot of time or fuss. It is simple to use, puts together effortlessly and cleans up in a snap. All pieces that actually touch food are dishwasher safe on top rack. It comes with 3 GladWare 6 cup bowls with lids, so you can move from one item to the next without having to clean up each time. There is also a permanent bowl(no lid) to use as well. The shredder/slicer disc attaches easily and is two sided so you just use the side you want as the top side.Place your food in the chute, and use the "food pusher" to gently guide it through. Voila!

Mechanically, it has been sound. I have had no problems, it has worked great. I have found it to be a super-convienent kitchen tool. A quick-start is included to get you set up and going, and there is also a nice recipe book with many ideas for family meals, one dish meals, salads and sides, deserts and entertaining. Among them you will find pizza, vegetable stir fry, cheesy potatoes,chocolate pear torte and Salsa(there are lots more). The recipes have all indgrediants listed, cooking directions and even tell you which side of the shred/slice disc to use.You'll also find some neat little hints, like for shredding mozzarella cheese, it should be frozen and cut into little cubes for best results. The booklet and has cleaning instructions and customer service numbers. All the info(including recipes is also in French and Spanish, along with specific phone numbers)

So here is my only little complaint and reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. There is a second disc which is a "Fine Shred/Crinkle Cut", to add a little something different to your meals. This must be purchased separately from Hamilton Beach. I think for the price, they could have included it in this package. There is also a disc storage that is not included either. I searched Amazon and could not find that Fine Shred disc here.See product features on detail page here, this model comes with 1 disc!
Other then that I love this nifty little item, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
Remember to breathe, Eat healthy, and...Enjoy.....Laurie

I am replacing my salad shooter that I had for over 16 years...just the other day....the motor finally went. This is by far the easiest & most used kitchen gadget appliance in my house. Slicing & shredding couldn't be easier. The pieces pop into the dishwasher. No difficult instuctions, a no brainer. Until it arrives...I need to drag out my food processor to make some zucchini/carrot bread. I hate that dinosaur...plus I find the contraption scarey!!! I may have to rush that delivery!! Over the years I have given it as gifts with rave reviews. Not sure if they are sold in any stores, because I've been looking. Quick, order one....what are you waiting for????

I owned one of the first HB Big Mouths ... it came time to get another ( I cracked the bowl ) This version is wonderful all the blades store inside , the chopping blade is lower and can chop smaller amounts . The power is amazing. The suction cups on the bottom hold it in place but don't require a weight lifting belt to get it free from the counter , like the first version did. I gave away my new KitchenAid in favor of this product , the KitchenAid was damaged in one light use. I have a large family 7 kids , 2 parents , 2 employees and this Big Mouth can handle what ever I through at it.
I highly recommend this product.

Presto 02910 SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder Review

Presto 02910 SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We laughed and laughed when we received this "as seen on TV" slicing and, well, grating "miracle product" as a gift. Who would actually use such a crazy thing? Well, it turns out that we would, frequently. It may not dice, but it does slice beautifully - thin and uniform, as well as grating everything from cheese to potatoes to carrots to ... you name it. We use it almost daily. If you're a vegetable eater or a cheese lover, you won't know how you lived without it. Easy to assemble and disassemble, and it's dishwasher safe, although you do have to position the parts correctly to maximize water flow and cleaning. You can do a fine or a coarse grate, a straight or a wavy slice. You can even get an ice shaver for making snow cones. It does have some limitations. While it grates all kinds of cheeses (softer cheeses work best when chilled), it can't slice cheese at all. Nor does it slice onions, celery or other "stringy" vegetables well. It will grate them, though. It slices cucumbers, carrots, summer squash and similar vegetables beautifully, but the chute is too narrow to slice most cukes or zukes whole -- you'll have to split them lengthwise.

Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder, White Review

Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This thing rocks for shredding cheese! My family doesn't like the pre-shredded stuff, and loves to just grab handfuls of freshly shredded cheddar cheese to munch on. However, normally shredding cheese involved grating your knuckles in the process, and a lot of arm muscle. Enter, the Salad Shooter!
I purchased my Salad Shooter last November. I buy 2 lb bricks of Tillamook cheese, and cut them into 5 pieces so they'll fit into the chute. This is the most time consuming part of shredding cheese for me now, and it doesn't take that long! Then, I shred the cut sections of cheese. Yes, the Salad Shooter is loud, but it only takes me seconds to shred 2 pounds of cheese. So, I don't mind the noise.
Clean up is easy. A quick rinse to get the bigger bits of stuck cheese off (not sure if this is even necessary, but I do it anyway), and then everything goes in the dishwasher, except for the motor bit, and that only rarely needs a quick wipe with a paper towel. I love it.
I've probably shredded about 30 pounds of cheese with my Salad Shooter, and it's still going strong. For every family gathering, I volunteer to bring the shredded cheese.... it's just so much easier for me to do it.
*Update: October 6, 2008* I've probably shredded well over 60 lbs of cheese now with my Salad Shooter, and it still looks brand new. Since I wash everything in the dishwasher, I kept expecting rust spots to show up on the metal grating part, but there's no rust to be found. I'm very pleased!
**2nd update: July 2010** Still going strong.... I don't even want to guess how many pounds of cheese I've shredded with this Salad Shooter! :) Shredding blade cone had a hairline crack in the plastic part of it for several months but I kept using it, and now there's a bigger crack near it. Ordered a replacement cone directly from Presto this month, arrived in 4 days. I have a habit of pushing hard on the cheddar cheese in the chute, so I think that put a lot of stress on the shredding cone. 2 and a half years for that first shredding cone isn't bad, though, seeing what I put it through!

Cuisinart HFP-300 PrepExpress 220-Watt Handheld Electric Food Processors Review

I am a long-standing Cusinart food processor fan for 25 plus years. I couldn't imagine my kitchen without it. So when I discovered this product, I was sure that this would be a time-efficient way to quickly chop an onion without having to use my big Cuisinart food processor. I was confident that it would uphold Cuisinart standards for food processing. NOT THE CASE. Chopping/slicing peppers or onions was completely impossible. Very little came out of the chute as most of the vegetables were turned into a mushy pureed substance trapped between the blade and the round housing. In addition, as soon as the motor is turned on, a burnt odor is emitted leading me to think that the motor is burning out. I do not recommend this product to anyone and I am shocked that Cuisinart would put their name on this piece of junk!
