Sushezi Sushi Made Easy Review

I looked at about 5-6 different sushi makers recently (including the $20,000 sushi robot). Sushezi seemed the best bang for the buck. It arrived today (along with a rice cooker) via Amazon Prime so I didn't even get a chance to get impatient about it.

I've made sushi for years now with the little bamboo mat. I'm pretty handy in general and have had good results with the primitive tools, but still get more than half of the attempts at rolls to have a few end pieces collapsing, the roll irregular, etc. I DO have a life and I don't want to spend it perfecting being a sushi chef.

The Sushezi does one thing and it does it well: it makes a perfect large sushi roll and it does it quickly. I was both cooking and talking on Second Life to a friend and I compared chat time-stamps. I assembled ingredients (the rice was ready before I started), cut up a few veggies, found and opened a nori package, scrounged some of that orange caviar from my freezer, fake crab, leftover smoked clams, cream cheese, etc. I made four rolls. 45 minutes after the chat start mark, I had uploaded a photo of a plate of samples of each roll and sent it to my friend. If you've ever made sushi before, you know that's absurdly fast.

The Sushezi has a solid feel to it. There's nothing small and delicate that's going to break and leave you with a worthless product (versus, say, those cheap plastic cookie presses).

I'm staying with the very solid 5-star rating, but there are some downsides. First of all, it really needs a narrow diameter counterpart. That is to say, a Sushezi roll that can be wrapped with half a nori sheet. (Note: I e-mailed the company asking about that and got a very quick reply saying that they didn't have such a device. Disappointed though I was, I appreciated the fast and honest reply.) Next, if you're into inside-out rolls, this won't work. It's not designed to, so there's no reason to take away points.

Finally, the company suggests other uses for the product. This is cool: Cheese logs and cookies as a bonus is good. However, I just want to make good, consistent sushi rolls and do it quickly and easily. Sushezi worked exacly as presented. As I said earlier, a lot of bang for the buck. You do sushi rolls? Get this.

Love the maki! I have several kits that I have accrued over the years and this is far and away the best thing to come down the pike. With as often as I'm using the Sushezi, I know I'll wear it out. So, my only whine is that it's not as sturdy as an Abrams tank. Right now, I use half sushi rice and half brown rice (for the fiber); it holds together righteously. I think that with the pressure that can be applied with this apparatus I can move to all brown rice (pressure cooker cooked) at some point. I like this product so much that I took advantage of the four for three Amazon deal and sent them to my kids in other states. Aside from it not being made out of titanium, my only other concern is that I'm going to get fat as a piggy from making so much. (4jul2010) I thought I'd get fat as a piggy, but, I'm actually losing weight on the sushezi diet. I make and eat one to two rolls a day. I use plenty of protein sources for the filler and half brown rice for the roll. I cook the rice in a pressure cooker which makes it easy to combine different rices in a timely manner. For the filler I'll use imitation crab sticks, turkey spam (with pineapple), tuna, salmon, and, yes, bacon makes everything better. I'll do a smoked salmon with yochee fat free tzatziki. Ah, wasabi, curry and peanut butter make great seasonings. I'll add garlic powder to the rice wilst I cook it. Made thoughtfully, a sushi roll could be one of the healthiest foods to eat. Let your creativity run wild.

It looks like a gimmick but it really works well. I've made nori sushi at home for many years using the traditional bamboo mat and have even experimented with a plastic press mold. The Sushezi is easy, quick, and produces a stuffing of rice and 'whatever' to roll in a sheet of nori (toasted seaweed) in a matter of moments. Excellent results. Easy clean-up. Inspires you to make your own nori sushi at home -often.

Honest reviews on Sushezi Sushi Made Easy

This is a decent sushi maker, producing rolls that are sized to use 1 nori sheet (which I happen to find perfect, but apparently not all people do).

It took me three tries to figure out the perfect amount of rice, but since then, results have been consistent. The trick is to use a wee bit less than 1 Japanese cup (3/4th American cup) of sushi rice and fill it enough so it's a little hard to close. Packed right, it's actually going to be rather messy (rice oozing through the cracks).

I found two downsides: first, the quality is so-so. The front cap usually takes a couple tries to lock into place and the latches are a bit flimsy, considering that you have to forceclose the thing if you want tight sushi. Second, this device is overpriced! I know it's in line with other sushi makers, but this is nothing more than a PVC tube with latches and a plunger. I'm surprised that there aren't any $9 knockoffs.

Good product. It does really make it easier to make maki sushi rolls. The only negative is that the diameter of the sushi rolls are a little large. As a result you use approxiomately 1 cup of rice per roll.

Swiss Diamond Nonstick Wok with Lid - 12.5" Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $260.00
Sale Price: $179.95
Today's Bonus: 31% Off

I wrote the Swiss Diamond company and asked for an explanation of what the nano-composite material was made of.

After a week or so, I received a polite reply from Allan Wolk, an employee in the U.S. His email informed me that, "Our patented nonstick surface uses a nano-composite of real diamond crystals and PTFE; it is applied using a computer controlled plasma gun at very high temperatures."

Naturally, my attention was immediately drawn to the PTFE. The acronym sounded familiar. What was PTFE?

A quick search of Wikipedia provided the answer: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTFE)

As Wikipedia explains:

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a fluoropolymer discovered by Roy J. Plunkett (1910-1994) of DuPont in 1938. It was introduced as a commercial product in 1946 and is generally known to the public by DuPont's brand name Teflon®.

Huh? Teflon? Wait a minute. Didn't the Swiss Diamond website just claim that the product contained no Teflon?

If you look back at the Swiss Diamond website screen capture, the careful wording of their answer now becomes clear. It states, "The Swiss Diamond coating does not contain any Teflon taking into consideration that "Teflon" is a trade mark, made and owned by DUPONT."

So the pans don't contain Teflon, they just contain the chemical called Teflon. It's like saying a nuclear warhead doesn't contain any plutonium, it only contains nuclear fissionable material.

For the manufacturer to insist the Swiss Diamond pans contain no Teflon whatsoever when it is made primarily from polytetrafluoroethylene, the chemical widely known as Teflon, is extremely deceptive. In fact, the intent of the Swiss Diamond company seems to be to deceive consumers by omission of the facts. The FAQ document on the Swiss Diamond website, for example, does not bother to say something like, "But our pans do contain PTFE, the chemical known as Teflon." It simply insists they contain no Teflon and moves on to the next question.

It seems that Swiss Diamond goes out of its way to give the impression that this product is free of Teflon chemicals and is surfaced primarily with diamonds. That's the impression I got, anyway, and I read the promotional materials several times before purchasing the pan.

Consumers have been hoodwinked yet again!!!

Great a first. We stir-fry and pan-fry 2-4 dishes each day. After a couple months use, it began to change color. It's no longer non-stick now. Also, the product came with the lid missing and was never sent after a couple of email exchanges with seller, who blamed the manufacturer for the mistake.

Honest reviews on Swiss Diamond Nonstick Wok with Lid - 12.5"

I got this beautiful wok as a gift, which is the most wonderful one I even had. After six-month use of the wok, I am surprised that it does not change color like any other wok did. I basically use it every day. I only use a kitchen towel to wipe it clean and never use dish detergent or dish washer. The condition of the non-stick surface is just like the first I got this perfect gift!

Although its non-stick surface is strong and is allowed any material of utensil to be used on it, I use only wood or nylon type. I believe that using softer material would avoid deteriorating the non-stick surface.

I will post a following review if any condition goes worse. Let's see how long it will persist. And by the time, it may be a good change to test their limited lift time warranty though.

CORNINGWARE StoveTop 4-pc PYROCERAM Just White Casserole Set Review

Customer Ratings:

CorningWare Pyroceram was always ahead of its time. When it was introduced in 1958, it's possible no one at Corning, Inc. would have thought its radio-transparent nature would predict the home microwave oven. The only place you can't use it is on an induction cooktop without some sort of heat-producing interface.

Reintroduced in 2008 by World Kitchen, Inc., the new StoveTop collection was an immediate hit, but for a few, that blue cornflower decoration might seem a tad out of place in a shiny digital-era chrome and stainless kitchen. Just White solves that dilemma with the same ever-modern shape and no decoration at all. CorningWare collectors will recognize the 2-liter pan as one of the shapes that would have been called a skillet back when CorningWare was introduced, while the 3-liter was called a saucepan back then.

Now made in France with US-made Pyrex lids, this set and its Blue Cornflower partner are ready to make the same culinary journeys from stovetop to freezer to oven to broiler, with side trips to the microwave.

With a little care, they'll look brand new and still ahead of their time on CorningWare's 100th anniversary

After less than six months this pan has developed little blisters and the coating is peeling off! When I contacted T-Fal they said to send the pan to them for evaluation. It would take 4-6 weeks for them to determine if the pan is defective. If they determine that it is not, then they will send it back to me at MY expense (in addition to me sending it to them at MY expense!). I was then told that it was probably caused by me using an aerosol on the pan which would void the warranty. Sounds like they've already determined that it's my fault!! The warranty that came with my pan does not mention anything at all about aerosol and I haven't used it anyway!! Nor have I ever used a metal utensil or placed this in the dishwasher. This is a shoddy product with a useless warranty! I would never buy another T-Fal product!!

I'm a connoisseur of cookware by no means, but expected

an 8" skillet to be bigger than this.

I got out my machinist measuring scale and come up with

the following measurements; largest diameter at top of rim= 7.55",

flat area at inside of bottom= approximately 5.5".

This is about big enough for a couple eggs or maybe a sandwich.

By no means what I expected.

On the bright side, we will use it in it's capacity,

and it is VERY high quality, in my opinion.

We purchased based on a prior purchase of another pan of the same brand and line.

Honest reviews on T-fal Signature Hard Anodized Fry Pans

I love this pan. My only issue is that the pan is not deep enough to cook a meal for a big family. My fault though because I didn't realize a saute pan had short sides. I have always had good success with T-Fal pans especially considering the price when compared to others such as scanpan. So far it is completley non-stick and easy to clean. I will continue to buy T-Fal pans until a better product comparably priced is introduced.

All I can say is "wow!" ... what a nice grill pan. For a single person, this is a great size for a piece of salmon or chicken. Heats uniformly and cooks great. Grilled two filet mignons in this pan before popping them into the oven, and they turned out great. The meat was lightly marinated and didn't use any oil in the pan and the steak turned out nice. And a light wiping with paper towels and light washing afterwards, it looked new...still. I plan to use this pan more than my outdoor grill as it adds the grill marks to the meat quickly without having to fire up the BBQ grill. The price was right, and I love the wood handle. Can't go wrong buying this grill pan. German quality at its best.

I needed a saucepan to cook oatmeal in that would let go on the bits that stick to the bottom. Sounds silly, but I love oatmeal and hate cleaning the pan afterwards. This cleans up easily and cooks evenly. I have used it for cooking rice, gravies and other foods that seem to stick and it always cleans up well. Now, for the lid. There is a black band on the inside of the lid and it scrubed off one night recently. I sat down, wrote an email to the company and by the next day, they have a new lid on the way. They asked only where to send it, nothing else. I like companies that stand by the product they sell. So, if you are going to buy from this line, check that black band, it should be between the glass and the metal, not on the inside of the lid. If you have a problem with the product, ALWAYS notify the manufacturer, they will almost always make it right, like Calphalon did for me.

Lodge LGPR3 Pre-Seasoned Round Cast-Iron Grill Press Review

Customer Ratings:

This is something that had been on my wish list for a while. I had not used one before but I liked the concept. Finally got one for my birthday a couple of years ago, and this has grown into one of my favorite tools. For bacon, nothing is better. I cook up 5 pounds at a time and freeze in 4-slice packs, and this little beauty makes the cooking process easy. Nice flat pieces that are great for that after-work BLT. Works great for panini and is definitely cheaper and easier to use than a specialized machine that does the same job for 5 times the price.

This is a real low-tech old school way of cooking that proves over and over again why its still so popular.

Best Deals for Lodge LGPR3 Pre-Seasoned Round Cast-Iron Grill Press

When you grow up with flat bacon, nothing else is good enough. So I made the plunge and bought this press for the sole purpose of cooking flat bacon in my cast-iron cookware. That makes this an expensive uni-tasker for me (which, along with the screws, is why I only gave it 4 stars), but I still think it was a good purchase.

The construction of the press seems high-quality. It is indeed heavy, but I have no concerns about the handle coming off or anything like that. You do need to assemble it, requiring a flathead screwdriver and an adjustable wrench or pliers, but it isn't difficult. The screwheads sit in an indentation on the bottom of the press and are exposed to the food/cooking surface. The hygiene implications of that might be a problem for some, but those people would probably not like cast-iron anyway. However, the screw indentations are deep enough so that the screws aren't capable of scratching the cooking surface. Cleanup means wiping with some warm water and using a stiff bristle brush if necessary. Dry off and coat with a thin layer of oil.

Use is quite simple. I can't imagine using the press on steaks or burgers since that would press all the juice (not necessarily fat) out of them and make them dry, but it's perfect for bacon. With extened use the wire handle will get warm, but never necessitated the use of mitts or gloves. One thing I noticed while using the press is that you will want to use a pan at least somewhat larger than the press. When I used the press with my cast-iron pan with a 7" bottom, the fat from the bacon had nowhere to go and would end up rising up and over the sides of the press, pooling on top of it.

Overall, it's a well constructed press with the only real downside being the exposed screws on the bottom. The handle stays cool and my bacon stays flat. A bit of a luxury, but worth it for me. Also, if you are going to use this for bacon, do yourself a favor and save the bacon grease to cook with or to season other cast iron vessels with later.

The press functions well enough, but as other reviews have mentioned the handle is shotty. It's held on with bolts which get gunked-up with grease and crud. I have to disassemble the handle (with tools) to clean the press thoroughly. The coiled handle doesn't stay cool enough to touch anyway, so why not use a one-piece design like the Lodge panini press? One good bonus this press offers is I can use it as a lid for the Lodge 6.5" skillet, which doesn't have an available lid.
