Progressive International HG-85 6-Piece Grater Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, I'll tell you that I've only used this product once so far. It was yesterday. I used the slicer plate to prepare onions and peppers for a stir fry. It did what it was supposed to do fairly well. The blade wasn't as sharp as I'd have liked and I think that impacted the performance a bit.
My biggest gripe with this item is that it isn't as big as the pictures make it out to be. The grating surface is actually quite narrow. So you won't be able to get large chunks of cheese or whole veggies on there unless you cut them up first.
Now onto the good: I like how you can store this thing. All the plates fit inside it nicely. When assembling, you can't put it together wrong because everything only fits together one way. Clean up after use was a snap. I didn't even have to toss it in the dish washer. Just a good rinse with some hot water and it looked like new again.
If you need some light grating, this isn't a bad way to go. It was just disappointing to get a smaller than expected product.

KitchenAid RVSA Slicer/Shredder Attachment for Stand Mixers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nota Bene:
I have tried to contact Kitchen-Aid for over a month, wrote 4 EM via the KitchenAid customer support Website, and beside their promise to answer within 3 business day, I have yet to hear from them.
I'm truly disappointed with their customer support and the RSVA.
Kitchen-Hell: "for the way it's made"Well,
What a deception!
Probably the worst shredder I ever used.
I purchase this product in the idea that KitchenAid was a good brand (by experience), but I must admit that I have the feeling that I paid $50 for a very, very poor shredder, which should be sold $15 maximum. A $7 Walmart hand shredder makes a better job.
I have the feeling that KitchenAid just ripped me off.
I'm a mechanical engineer and I love to cook, and I'm normally the type to buy one excellent knife instead of 2 poor ones, but this time, I was fooled.
So , let's review the product:
First of all, the cones are not stainless steel, but regular steel, badly chromed.
It means that, one day or another, they will rust.
How can you tell? Use a magnet, if it is not sticking, it's a 18/10 stainless steel. (18% Chrome + 10% Nickel, a TRUE Stainless Steel)
Try with your kitchenaid mixing bowl, and you'll see.
It also means that if you ever try to sharpen the slicing blades, you'll take off the chrome and it WILL rust very quickly.
I'm sorry, but a brand like Kitchenaid should AT LEAST, provides Stainless Steel cones. Especially at 50 bucks a piece. (and I suppose that's why it is stated HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY), not allowed to use regular steel in a restaurant)
The blades are either dull, unevenly sharpened, or not at all(sides). It mashes or puree very well, but the cuts are uneven and messy. I just wanted a slicer, not a musher.
The sharpening on (my) slicing cones is visibly uneven. one side slices, the other not.
The gap between the cones and the body is too big, food goes in, get pushed in by the dull cones to end up in a mess.
The cones rotate unevenly, off balance, which adds to the previous mess.
The length of the blades is smaller than the size of the spout. (the cutting length should be a least the size of the spout, not smaller )
In short: everything that goes is those corners is miserably mashed So, as a result, in my opinion: buy something else.
Add $20 and buy yourself something decent. Plus, the attachment is so bulky that a food processor will not take much space.
My grade on a 10 scale: 3
Probably the worst shredder I ever used.
And if you ever decide to buy one , please contact me , for $25, you'll have an almost brand new one.

This attachment performs the cutting and shredding duties your food processor might: select the proper cone, slip it into the plastic housing, and attach all to your stand mixer's hub with a metal shaft. You can shred potatoes, onions, nuts, and chocolate, or slice vegetables for cooking or munching. While it adds versatility to your mixer, the unit is cumbersome to disassemble--more so than KitchenAid's other nifty attachments--and its several parts make it difficult to store. Still, it's easier on your arms than manual slicing and shredding, especially for large quantities, and all parts are dishwasher-safe. --Betsy Danheim

KitchenAid Professional Cheese/Food Mill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought one of these in my search for a good cheese grater to replace my sadly inadequate KitchenAid KG301 rotary model (see reviews on this before buying...they capture the problems well). After using this once, you have to ask: "what were they thinking?" The cutting disks can fit into the device both ways though only one way cuts, the disk is difficult to line up properly in the unit, and frankly doesn't cut well with my main use for parmigiano reggiano...it almost powders it. Worse, the circular hand motion needed to grate is fine for, say, a pepper mill for which only a small amount is needed. For this, the repetitive twisting and small yield are unacceptable.
For those of you like me who have and love the superb and unbeaten KitchenAid stand mixers, this device and the rotary grater are not in anywhere near the same quality and usefulness league.
Another cheese grater of no value to me.

Kitchen King Pro Complete Food Preparation Station Review

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.

MIU Stainless-Steel Tomato/Vegetable Mill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very easy to put together and easy to use. Three types of blades makes this food mill versatile for straining tomato seeds to mashing potatos. The price is unbeatable, the size is convenient for single person or small family. The construction is sturdy and simple, which i like because it means less parts to break, put together, and clean. The food mill is great because it purees and strains the food at once. No more fighting with strainers or losing your purees through transfering them between food processer and strainer. I decided to buy this foodmill after realizing a decent sized chinois strainer with pestle (yes, sometimes you have to buy the pestle separately) can cost the same and often times more. This mill has been a real pleasure to use and I am grateful of the investment.
NOTE: THE BLADE-PLATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MILL IS CONCAVED AND SHOULD POINT TOWARD YOU, IE, POINT UPWARD. this way the rotating blade will slide snugly over the plate. It should be very easy to turn. If you find the rotating blade hard to turn, or hard to fit into place, you've probably have the 'blade-plate' upside down. Device only have 3 pieces when put together, not too many variation as to how to put it together...

Using the food mill unlocks the aromas and textures of fresh vegetables and herbs, enhancing the flavor of any dish.

Health conscious parents can use this food mill to create their own baby purees that are chemical and preservative free.It includes 3 different sized attachments for mashing, milling or ricing.The food mill is supported by foldable legs. The legs help to stabilize the food mill over pots or bowls. A quick turn of the large crank handle forces food through the blades and directly into a pot or bowl.The entire mill is made of stainless steel and is dishwasher safe.

Microplane Professional Patented Design Coarse Grater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second Microplane grater that I have purchased (actually I purchased the extra coarse version), but the only 1 of the 2 that I would give a 5* rating to. The other grater was from the standard line not the professional line. With many kitchen items there are no significant differences between the two, but in this case it definitely matters!
All Microplane graters use the same basic technology for cutting -- technology which was originally developed for the woodworking industry but that has adapted for exceptional service in the kitchen as well. The razor sharp laser cut grating head will make quick & easy work of cheese grating or citrus zesting (if you have the proper size). I would suggest when choosing a size of grater that you choose 1 size larger as the sizing tends to run on the small size.
Now, what makes the professional so much better? Well, the standard line has 3 major/minor flaws: 1) the easy-grip rubber handle tends to capture water when washed, 2) the plastic molded frame holding the grating surface cracks when washed in the dishwasher, & 3) the head is so incredibly sharp that it must be kept covered, yet there is no easy way to due this except for the original tagboard cover.
The professional version fixes all of these issues. As you can see, the frame and handle are all stainless steel which eliminates issues #1 & #2 and the professional version comes with a nice snap-on plastic cover to protect the sharp head surface. In addition, the rubberized rest on the top of this version can come in very handy.
End result: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Presto Saladshooter Slicer/ Shredder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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????

Microplane 40020 Grater/Zester Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this after spending 2 hours zesting limes for a gourmet cookie recipe with the traditional potato-peeler+ food processor method. The most time consuming part is carefully scraping way all the white pith on the inside of the peel. The pith is very bitter and can ruin your recipe. This zester did the same job in 30 seconds and didn't even touch the pith. Just pure, perfect lime zest with no effort. Totally worth its weight in gold. Now I can make those cookies again without my hands cramping up after hours scraping the peels. Who has time for that?
I've also started using it for grating parmesan. Definately takes Ceaser salads and pasta up a notch. I'm purchasing several more as gifts for my friends. Would make an incredible (and cheap) holiday/birthday gift for anyone, even the casual cook. Please note that the size of the grated zest or cheese is very fine and not ideal as a garnish. Parmesan or Romano grated with this tool melts quickly into the pasta, and doesn't lend much to the presentation. Tastes great, but hard to see. If you're looking for a garnishing tool, this is not it.

KitchenAid 9 and 12-Cup Food Processor Parmesan/Ice Grating Disc Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While this is made especially or claimed special for Parmesan Cheese Grating and slushies or ice cones, I purchased it for making Latkes or as also known, potato pancakes. The traditional way of making with slivers is not at all as good in flavor and texture and consistency as using this blade. The old way of using a rough hand held blade grinder was time consuming, somewhat dangerous on the knuckles and VERY tiring on the hands and arms. This blade makes it nearly instant and with very good results. I don't know why Kitchenaid doesn't push this usage, but someone should. It takes a very, very labor and time consuming delicious dish and makes it very quick and easy. Now it doesn't have to be a Jewish Holiday to eat this delicious side dish. And just in case you have never tried them there are carloads of recipes on the web and they ARE delicious and not bad on the diet either. A little flour, some onion, an egg, salt and pepper and a frying pan. they are great with applesauce and or sour cream and pork recipes. Roast Pork with these on the side, to die for. Try it, I beleive you will love it too.

KitchenAid 9 and 12-Cup Food Processor 5-Disc Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the processor and blades at the same time. I had called in advance and was told no blades came with the processor. However, three excellent blades and a nifty storage box do come with the processor, so the extra $70.00 for these 5 seemed rather unneccesary. They will allow more functionality than the standard 3 discs enclosed with the processor, but for us, these five would have been 'over-kill'.
