Review of B2B Food Strainer & Sauce Maker

Customer Ratings:

just used the "back to basics 220 strainer" and the results were wonderful

the machine is well built, and the instructions were made designed the way you could follow them easily. most products i buy, the instructions do not have empathy for the user who must assemble and use the product.

it worked great on the tomatoes. the seeds, peels and core came out the "discard end" and the pure "pulp juice" came out the front. i processed 200 tomatoes without a problem. bang for the buck, you can't beat the production this machine will give you the tomato season

This model was recommended by a family member who has had theirs for years. It is a solid machine that will definitely last. Processing food is extremely quick--just as an example, a gallon of cooked apples can be turned into applesauce in less than five minutes.

One thing to consider is where you will store this machine. Because of the awkward size and shape, the only option is to clean it and put it back in its box, which probably takes up a cubic foot of space.

We have used this product for both canning tomatoes and applesauce and are extremely pleased with how quickly we get results. No more peeling mess. My 8 yr. old grandson loves to turn the crank. We all love the finished products, as well.

Honest reviews on B2B Food Strainer & Sauce Maker

I've uploaded a short video to show how easy it is to assemble and use the B2B food strainer and sauce maker. The machine does an excellent job on applesauce, tomato sauce, salsa (I love to roast the tomatoes, garlic, onions, and hatch chilis for an incredibly delicious salsa). This is great for anyone interested in making simple delicious food, purees, pumpkin, canning, jelly, etc. I have a foley food mill but find this so much easier to crank and use.

My first Back to Basics Food Strainer arrived damaged. The product box was sorely lacking in padding material and the metal handle had shattered the white plastic squirt guard. This was an issue with the product packaging and not Amazon's packaging. Amazon immediately sent a replacement and the replacement was in perfect shape (despite the lousy packaging material again).

The strainer works like a charm. My tomato harvest is at 140 pounds now and still going strong, so the strainer has been getting a lot of use. It definitely has been saving me tons of time.

My only concern is with the durability of the product. I don't like all of the plastic parts, particularly the thin and seemingly brittle clear plastic spout, which has to be SNAPPED onto the screen. Let me guess which will be the first part to go! Also, the shaft is not stainless steel and tends to get rust spots if not fastidiously dried.

When I searched for tomato strainers it seemed like they all had the same issues (cheap plastic parts) so this model is really no better or worse than the others. Just wish SOMEONE would build these things for durability.

This table works well for what it is. It gets your Dutch Oven out of the dirt and gives you a nice surface to have coals/briquettes on.

The top surface has some sort of coating on it that makes for very easy clean up. Almost a non-stick coating like on pots and pans, but thicker, more heavy duty.

The legs are 3/8" bolts that screw and unscrew from nuts that are welded onto the bottom of the table itself.

I think for the price that this is a great item to have for use with your Dutch Oven. And I'm sure other uses for too..

This is a sturdy little table, I have two and use them often. They are perfect for supporting your dutch oven next to the campfire. It is also a great addition for those folks who have a bigger cook table, it will hold hot pots, charcoal starters and more.

Honest reviews on Camp Chef Dutch Oven Stand

I've owned one of these for a couple of years, and just got another as a gift for my brother. The design is simple, it's extremely durable, and does what I need it to: it keeps the Dutch oven up off the ground when cooking. We camp in backcountry locations with no fire rings, and in sensitive habitat areas where you cannot build a fire on the ground (protected desert, etc.) We bring a washing machine drum or backyard firepit, and this little guy allows us to use the D.O.'s Additionally, in established campgrounds, we can actually use it on top of the picnic table. We have a 12" D.O. as well as a 10", and have stacked them easily. A 14" D.O. would fit just fine too.

The surface is thick carbon steel, and there are large nuts welded at the four corners. The legs are actually 5 or 6" bolts that you screw into the nuts. With the legs off, the whole thing packs into a plastic tub along with the 2 D.O.'s, lid lifter, lid stand, gloves, etc.

This is simple to set up, ultra convenient, and sturdy. We have several Dutch ovens, two 6 quarts and 12 quart. These can be stacked on this table one on top of the other with the use of the Dutch ovens. The table is a good idea when you want to use more than one Dutch oven and you are at a campground that you are perhaps unfamiliar with. Our first time out with this one we went to a campground we had never been to before, and typically, we create our own pit for our Dutch ovens, at this campground that was not an option and the fire pits and strange grates on them and coals would easily fall through and the grate didn't lift. It was a terrible idea for a camping fire pit.

The Dutch oven table was the perfect accessory so we could make lasagna, bread and brownies stacked on top of one another on the Dutch oven table.

The table cleans up easily. There are four screws that make up the legs and take seconds to put on. It is stable and handled the weight of three full Dutch ovens. For the price, it exceeded my expectations.

I ordered this thinking, "It's a roasting pan. How can you mess up a basic roasting pan?" Well, now I know:

-It's not that it's a bad pan but it's VERY thin. Upon opening it up and looking it over, I realized that the bottom for the pan flexes in the same way that the top of a jelly jar "pops" after it's been opened.

-The roasting rack sits a little less than a half inch from the bottom of the pan. (That may work out fine for you, but I need it to sit a little higher to keep my brisket out of the juices.)

The lid doesn't sit very securely. I realize that there will be some "give" with a lid, however, it should at least sit well in the rim of the pan without sliding around. This one slides around... not a ton, but again, more than is suitable for my purposes. I need the lid to fit securely and the vents to close all the way, which brings me to the next point...

-The small vents in the top would be a nice feature except that they don't close completely on the one that I received (I may have received a defective one but I'm just reviewing the product I have). Because of this, it will release too much moisture and my meat will dry out.

So overall, this roasting pan may be fine if you just need something basic that you don't expect to last forever. I am returning mine and ordering a different one after I do more research.

Note: I ordered a Cuisineart brand stainless steel stock pot in the same order as this roasting pan, so in comparison, this roasting pan just seemed cheap and flimsy next to my very sturdy Cuisineart product.

Cheap Hamilton Beach 500-Watt Food Processor

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $59.99
Sale Price: $39.85
Today's Bonus: 34% Off

I have been through four food processors in the last few years. The Hamilton Beach 70610 is my latest. Not only do I like it the best of any I have used, it is far less expensive than my last one. Prior to the Hamilton Beach 70610 I purchased the very highly rated (by Amazon reviews) Braun K650. I think the Braun is well made. And it is said to be a bargain compared to the Cuisinart and KitchenAid models that cost twice as much. I wanted to love the Braun. However, in my experience the Hamilton Beach 70610 tops the Braun in many critical areas. And the HB costs a small fraction as much as the Braun.

Advantages of the Hamilton Beach 70610:

---------------------------------

1. Easier to clean than any other food processor I have seen.

2. Does a much better job chopping the vegetables I frequently use to the size I want them to be. I prepare a lot of leafy greens. Many food processors never get them right. One is left with either large unchopped pieces or, in another instant, a complete mush. This unit gives me a nice uniformly processed result that I can control. I do not tend to end up with a mush. BTW, the Braun was one of the worst food processors for leafy greens.

3. Processes small quantities well. Many food processors have a tendency to splatter the veggies to the sides of the container where they are not chopped. All food processors will do this to some degree. But the Hamilton Beach 70610 is the best of any food processor I have used at minimizing this issue. I was absolutely amazed at how well it chopped up a small bit of ginger, a single clove of garlic and a slice of onion. On this task it not only out-performed every other food processor I have used, it topped my more expensive Wolfgang Puck Variable-Speed Immersion Blender.

4. The slicer disk seems to have an almost magical ability to not suffer from the usual problem of food getting stuck on the top. My unit is still very new and the disk is very sharp, so we'll have to see if this great functioning continues. But even the highly rated Braun with a brand new slicer disk doesn't match the Hamilton Beach 70610 in this area. Today I dropped potatoes down the feed tube while the food processor was running. Even without using the pusher, the potatoes were completely sliced and nothing (absolutely nothing) was left on top of the slicer. I have never seen another food processor do this so well.

5. It has a clean, nicely styled look.

6. The 10-cup-capacity work bowl is effectively larger than competitors's 10-cup bowls because the center tube is taller.

7. It is not burdened by ridiculous, problematic breakage-prone safety devices on the lid. I thoroughly enjoy the simplicity of the lid. It twists easily into position and it provides the needed safety switch -without the hassle of most other modern food processors. Both the bowl and the lid must be locked in position before the motor will operate. But getting them into position is so easy and simple that other food processor designers should be embarrassed to produce the cumbersome designs they ship out. Even the high end KitchenAid and Cuisinart models could learn a lesson from the Hamilton Beach 70610. This unit proves that it is indeed possible to design a safe food processor that is also simple to use and is free from the fiddly little parts that tend to break off.

8. Good built quality. I would not expect it to be on a par with the Cuisinart and KitchenAid models (and I can't speak from experience), but it is a very close runner up to the Braun I owned. Some people feel the Braun is of superior quality to the Cuisinart and KitchenAid models, so maybe this model holds a higher position than I realize. Certainly it is far, far better quality than similarly priced competitors. And I am totally pleased with its build quality so far. It feels solid. It sounds solid. It looks nice. It doesn't give off funny odors or make strange sounds. It doesn't shake or rattle. The pieces all fit together nicely. It looks like it will last (time will tell).

9. The parts do not stain from processing colorful foods such as carrots quite as easily as other food processors. My other food processors, including the Braun, quickly stained. The plastic around the chopping blades and disks on the Braun stained after one use. This one isn't stain-proof, but it is better than average.

10. It is fast! It processes veggies in no time.

11. Fantastic price for what it delivers.

Disadvantages:

--------------

1. Only one slicer disk. It doubles as both a slicer and (by reversing it) a shredder. I would prefer a few more choices. I would not mind paying for the accessories because I saved a bunch of money with this purchase. I read that an optional crinkle cut/fine shredding disk is available separately. Unfortunately, I am not yet able to location any optional accessories for sale. I would like a course shredding blade. Maybe I will find some accessories if I keep looking. However, the high end models such as the Braun, KitchenAid or Cuisinart have a plethora of accessories. I'm sure this unit won't match the high end models in that regard, so if accessories are important to you, consider other options.

2. The feed tube is a bit narrower than competitors. This issue hasn't proven to be a problem for me. I mention it because it may be important to you. From another review, "The feed tube is 1.75x2.75 inches -not quite large enough to fit a whole cucumber, but certainly large enough for a half cucumber, several carrots or even a block of cheddar cheese."

Could go either way:

------------------

1. the suction feet. Some people seem to love them. I could take them or leave them.

The Hamilton Beach ChefPrep 500 Watt Food Processor 70610 simplifies basic food preparation with its super fast, efficient chopping, slicing and shredding capability.

Basic description partly copied from other sources:

---------------------------------------

Clean white styling with a single silver dial control with three settings: 1, 2 and P (pulse). The pulse setting keeps the power activated only as long as you hold the dial at the P setting. Very easy to use.

This model comes with a transparent work bowl, lid with feed tube and food pusher, stainless steel chopping/mixing blade, reversible slicing/shredding disc and motor base.

This is an excellent food processor. It has two speeds, plus pulse control so it allows for better precision when chopping. Some processors turn everything to puree, but with this one you have better control over how finely things are chopped. The grater/slicer disk produces very uniform pieces and is really fast! While running it's not too loud either. I highly recommend this processor, especially considering the reasonable price.

Highly recommended.

I had just gone through about the 4th Cuisinart in my life when I decided it was time to change brands. I bought this one and am very happy with it. It slices and chops like no tomorrow. Faster than the Cuisinart at that and easy clean up. No cumbersome "safety features" to make you stop and try to reassemble the machine just when you want to chop a garlic clove! The switch has all the speeds you could possibly want and there is only one disk which makes for a lot less stuff to take care of. The feet are sucker cups which keep the machine firmly stuck to the counter when it's running.

There is only one thing wrong with this FP, and that is the shredding side of the disk leaves some food unshredded. A lump of whatever will ride around and not be processed at the end of the run. But, other than that, I love this machine. If I had it to decide again, I would still get this one.

I love this set so far! The pots and pans appear to be extremely durable/sturdy. I have washed them in the dishwasher and they came out spot-free and beautiful!

I also love the styling and details on the pans. I especially like the shiny silver lids, and the details on all of the handles. They look very classy, all the way from the outside in. You can tell they are nice pans and I expect they will last a long, long time. I especially love the pots and the steamer that comes with the larger pot, as I've never owned a proper steamer before!

The pans cook very nice and evenly, though they do conduct heat much better than my old pans. This means they get much hotter at lower stove settings than my previous cookware. This takes a little getting used to, but now that I've got it down, my food turns out just how I want it every time. I love to cook things that have a nice crisp on the outside and a moist inside, and that is much more doable with these than with what I used before. Overall, I've found that the better thermal conductivity gives you much better control and opens a broader range of cooking possibilities. It just takes a little getting used to.

The only bummer is that if you are a messy/poor cook like me, and happen to really burn something in your pan, it is fairly difficult to get the dark splatter out of the pan. But, if you follow the instructions that come with the set (mix water and dishwasher detergent in the pan, bring to a boil and let simmer for 15 minutes), any stubborn food stains seem to come right off. (NOTE: The key for me was to use the dishwasher detergent. The first time I tried removing burned food residue, I didn't want to bother with getting out the detergent and used regular kitchen soap instead. It didn't work. For whatever reason, the dishwasher detergent seems to be the magic bullet.)

Another possible surprise is that the pans are a little smaller than you might expect from the product's picture. They are all true to the dimensions listed online, but are a little smaller than I would have expected just based on the picture (I had to look at Cuisinart's website to find the dimensions since they don't appear to be on this page, but I've copied the dimensions from their website below so others don't have to go searching). That was actually good news for me, as I only ever cook for two and used to have issues with my pots/pans being too large for the portion sizes I wanted to cook. But, if you frequently cook for large numbers of people (ie, meals for 10+ people) it might be difficult to prepare everything in these.

Overall, I would highly recommend these to others. We are very happy with ours.

Emile Henry Flame Top Roaster Reviews

List Price: $125.00
Sale Price: $124.95
Today's Bonus: $0.05 Off

Nice, heavy pan. I bought it mostly for lasagna because it's hard to find a deep lasagna pan and this one is just right. I've also used it to bake a chicken in sauce and to bake a cake and it worked well for both. It weighs over six pounds when it's empty, though, so it is a bit heavy when it has food in it.

For some reason, the directions say that it needs to be seasoned before using it the first time. Per their instructions, I boiled a little bit of milk in it to season it and it was a little hard to get the burned milk off the bottom of the pan (guess I boiled it too long), and there was one area of black that did not come off. Tonight, I made a dish I got off of their website and some food burned on the bottom of the pan when I was browning the chicken on the stovetop and it also left black marks, even after scrubbing with a plastic mesh scrubber. The cleaning instructions on Emile Henry's website only say to soak the pan to get rid of burnt-on food. I will have to e-mail them to see if I am supposed to use steel wool on it. The marks should not affect the usefulness of the pan, though.

I'll never actually use this pan before I return it, so I can't comment on its performance. What I can say is the pan is ridiculously small. I had dithered for weeks between the 15x10 and the 17x11, finally opting for the smaller as more practical for everyday use. Sadly, when I received it, the pan labeled "15.6 x 10.4 inches" turned out to perfectly fit a standard letter sized piece of paper in the bottom: thus, it's actually about 8.5 x 11" (it slopes out a bit, so you could call it 10x12). The only way to call it 15.5" is by measuring the handles. Stupid of Emile Henry to misrepresent the size like this. I'd never owned one of their pieces before and now I'll never consider another.

First let me say that I have an induction cook top, so I am limited to magnetic cooking materials. I tend to get bored having all of one brand, so my armamentarium is a hodge-podge of several brands including All-Clad SS, LeCreuset (both SS and enameled cast iron), Emerilware (both the tri-ply clad and the regular SS with the clad bottom), and plain old Lodge cast iron.

The CIA Masters Collection 2 quart saucier is perhaps my favorite. It has a nice heft, but is not too heavy, looks great, and has a great handle. The lid is a little nicer than the All-Clad as well. I only have this one piece, but suspect I will end up with more, as that handle beats the pants off of the All-Clad SS (the predominant player in my collection), and otherwise performs comparably to the All-Clad SS, which I consider the standard for comparison for SS cookware. Also I find it more aesthetically pleasing than any of the brands that I mention above, which is a plus in my book, although it has absolutely nothing to do with cooking.

Used it to make a Fleur de Sel Caramel sauce tonight and it performed excellently. My new favorite pan. Certainly not cheap, but pretty much comparable in price to All-Clad and less than say Viking. Anyway, if you don't mind paying for premium cookware, you won't go wrong with this piece, and I suspect anything in their line.

We have had a first Bialetti Arte Deep Sauté pan for 5 years, but it was time to replace it. The teflon at the bottom had worn out and food stuck to it. The old one was "made in Italy" and I was hoping the company still had it made there, but it is very unlikely. The new pan has the same markings underneath except for that "made in Italy", so I can only assume that it was made in China.

The pan does not come with the packaging like on the picture, so there is no information about coating, materials, care, where it was made, etc. While the old pan had teflon ("slippery" non-stick), this one seems to have ceramic non-stick, which is "rough" non-stick. Food will not stick so that's fine. I am glad we bought this pan instead of a more expensive Calphalon pan. The size is just right and the performance/price ratio cannot be beat.

Skillet was damaged. The skillet is usable but is out of round and lid doesnt fit like it is suppose to. More like a scratch and dent item. Seller issue not a product problem.

Something must have happened to quality control since these earlier reviews were written. I based my order upon these other five star reviews. I'll have to assume that the writers were honest and don't work for Sante.

What I took out of the box was a cheaply cast piece of junk ... the iron was pitted, slag chunks were on the side, someone had taken a sander to crudely remove one of them, and to call the quality of the casting "poor" would be raving praise. You could even see swirls in the metal due to temperature differentiation. They must have cast this is someone's barbecue (in China, because that is where it was made).

I went back and read the most popular review of this, by PJ, and the condition of my pan was the polar opposite of what he describes. I guess they cheapened it.

I'm a Prime member and have ordered more than 100 items per year from Amazon. I've only sent one thing back, a pair of shoes that were the wrong size.

This will be item 2.

I am new to cast iron and love this pan. You do need to look up how to take care of your pans (never, ever use soap!), but they give an excellent flavor and are a wonderful kitchen tool. This is not only for pies, but for anything that might need cooking in the oven. We had some great cornbread made in this pan. It gives such a great flavor that glass and other pans cannot give.

I recently purchased many items from the Sante/Cabin Kitchen cast iron line (loaf pan, pie pan, and pizza pans) and a Lodge Logic skillet. I do prefer the seasoning on the Lodge pan to the seasoning on the Sante line, but that was taken care of with a bit of scrubbing and re-seasoning of the Sante pans. The seasoning on the Sante pans gave a slightly odd smell the first time the pan was heated and turned my dishwashing brush brown the first time I cleaned it (before using it). Once the brown stopped coming off, I used my own oil (Grapeseed) to condition it. The tag recommends using their brand conditioner, but I would guess it is why the pan smelled a bit funny and was coming off brown/black, so I won't be buying that. I have had no issues with my pans since I used Grapeseed oil and they are wonderful.

I use Grapeseed oil to condition/season my pans and always heat them in the oven to make sure they are completely dry. (I used Canola oil once to condition it and it just leaves a sticky, gooey mess). If some food is totally stuck on the pan, you can use a mixture of salt and oil to scrub the pan. You will need to be sure to oil and heat the pan after this.

I only bought one of these to start but now I am wishing for one more since I like to make pies/quiches in sets of two (we are a family of four good eaters with a fifth on the way).

I love old-time cooking, including pies. I make my own pie crusts and all... I even use a few antique items to put me in the mood. I also love cast iron cookware so I was excited when I found this item. I received it and it really is great quality! No huge pores or sketchy looking spots that you find with some cheap cast iron pans (I don't know about now days but old foreign made pans you have to inspect pretty well). Anyway, it has the brand Cabin Kitchen and a little cabin molded on the bottom and is just all around attractive. As with all cast iron the heat distribution is nice and even. The crust did not shrink even a hair. Best of all this is pre-seasoned so it doesn't stick. Looks great on a shelf or wall too next to the antique rolling pin when not in use. I also made some corn bread in it...just because I wanted to :) You can't beat the price and I shouldn't have to mention durability. This sucker will last forever as long as you don't put it in the dishwasher..!

Honest reviews on Camp Chef True Seasoned Cast Iron Pie Pan 10" CIPIE10

I ordered this and a different Lodge brand cast iron pot at the same time. When they arrived the difference was clear as night and day. The Lodge pan was smooth as black glass, with clean edges and no burrs. The Camp Chef pie pan was rough and pitted, and the edges seemed unfinished. It'll do for what I need it for, but I'm not impressed with the quality.

I bought this quality constructed pan to use on my BBQ. Being afraid of metal changes from the high temperatures of a BBQ, I knew that cast iron would maintain its integrity. I can use my BBQ quite like an oven now.
