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.

Reviews of Rachael Ray Stoneware 4-1/4-Quart Covered Bubble and Brown

Customer Ratings:

I purchased this via Amazon's 4 for 3 promotion. Along with the Lasagna lovers, bubble and brown set, and casserole.

The quality is excellent. It has good weight and color hues. It holds more than a "family" size meal. It is also easy to handle, in terms of portability. I love the handles, they really are potholder size. I think this may be a bit much for a small family. It is just simply gigantic. So modify your recipes accordingly. Or by the smaller size of this casserole. I think this will make 5 cornish hens. Or 2 large whole chickens. Or a ton of stew. Or an army amount of au gratin. In my opinion this is for a family size of 6 or better.

I would say conserve the lid life, and use foil to cover. Then replace lid, during serving.

Overall this is an excellent buy. Especially when it will be your FREE item, when combining it with the 3 other items.

This also can double as a mega fruit server. Or for Thanksgiving size cobblers, just don't forget to add wafers or lady finders, or pre-baked crust to make this a 4 layer cobbler.

It really is a great all-purpose baker.

I've always wanted to get a Rachel Ray item and until recently she only had orange items, so I was very excited to see this red casseroval with AMAZON FREE SHIPPING!!!

First off, I didn't read the item description well, saw that it said "from stove to table" and stopped reading.

When I got the casseroval, I was so excited I opened the box, washed it, turned the stove on medium/high, and put pork chops on. Within 5 minutes, I heard a crack. The entire bottom was cracked into 4 large pieces. After cleaning up the mess and putting out a small fire (literally), I opened the instructions... first words in big black bold lettering: "DO NOT USE ON STOVETOP!!!" ... my $40 lesson learned.

Aside from that horrible lesson, I LOVED it for the 5 minutes that I took it out of the box, washed it, and put it onto the stove. The handles are large, it's not as heavy as a cast iron (which is stove to oven to table), and is a great size for a family of 4. You are to fit about 8 good sized pork chops into it (double layered) to put into the oven.

I must say that I even loved it enough that I will probably order another one, and this time, will be using IN THE STOVE and TO THE TABLE :) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Got this along with other beautiful orange Rachel Ray cookware from my daughter for Christmas.. I used this beautiful pot when I heard this loud crack and the pot came apart in two sections.

Hopefully Rachel Ray will try and fix this problem.

Corning Ware Visions 1L Saucepan with Lid Review

Customer Ratings:

I prefer non-toxic cookware which is why I purchased this item.

I don't own a microwave, all of my cooking is done on an electric stovetop and an oven.

For cooking vegetables and items that don't stick really badly, the Visionware has been great.

I use this particular pot mainly to reheat a small amount of food, to boil water or to reheat tea. I also use it to melt butter in it, I just make sure that it has its glass lid on securely so that it will not splatter.

It cleans up nicely when you soak it and scrub it out with a plastic scrubber, if need be. I then place it in the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.

I have used Visionware for about 22 years, including this pot.

I have never lost one of these pots.

The very important thing here is if you have chipped, cracked, or scratched cookware, it is recommended that you discard it.

I would recommend carefully checking your cookware before your first use and on occasion. Specifically, with this grab it pot, look at the bottom of the pot and look for the tiny expansion notches. You will want to make sure that there is no cracks radiating outward. I have purchased some used ones on eBay that I had to return due to that problem as I refused to use them in that condition, and I specifically asked the seller to make sure that their pot did not have this problem before shipping it to me.

You will also want to avoid scratching it with metal utensils.

However, there have been some complaints about exploding Visionware (Google is your friend) by those who claim they did nothing wrong,though I suspect that in many cases, there was a breach in the product the user was unaware of.

I believe that a significant number incidents can be attributed to thermal shock such as running cool water in a hot pot, placing the hotitem on a cool surface, or putting the cookware on a heat source with no water in it.

Corning no longer manufactures this product.

Why would anyone want to cook in a glass pot?!!!!! Got one as a gift years ago, put it on the gas with too little water in it, and it literally exploded into tiny shards that scattered all over me and the kitchen. I was fortunate not to have been scalded or injured by jagged glass chips. There was evidently not enough water in the pot to absorb the heat, and the glass expanded and shattered with a loud crack that scared the hell out of me! Do not use this line of "cookware" ! No serious cook would consider it. Google "Danger Vision Cookware", or "Exploding Vision Cookware"! You'll be afraid (and rightly so) to use this crap for anything more than to catch a drip from a leaky ceiling!

Reviews of Wooden Sushi Press XL /Sushi Mold XL.

Customer Ratings:

If you spend the time making good sushimeshi, and soak the press before each attempt, you will get excellent results. Once pressed I took the top off, quickly turned it upside down and slammed it down onto a cutting board. Every attempt was perfect. I used sashimi grade tuna, avocado, and rice. Absolutely wonderful. Definitely do some research if this is a new thing for you. It is an artform.

I really like owning this item, if only for its look. I love making sushi at home, and this item only adds to my arsenal. It does its job and makes nice looking rectangular pieces. Fairly easy to use once you get used to it. Difficult to clean (reason for only 4 stars). Have begun wrapping top part in plastic to make easier to clean, but bottom piece is a bit of a pain. As stated, I like owning this, but would rather it be plastic or other easy to clean material.

The problem with making sushi is when you cut it, it falls apart! even with a sharp knife... I recommend using seran wrap to keep everything nice fit anf clean. wash right after cause dry rice is a pain to deal with! this works great compared to a regular rolling mat. the slits in this thing make it cake work to cut! now you see there are only 4 slits, which makes big sushi bites and you might look like a chipmunk! now if you are a handy gal or have a handy man around, we cut more slits right in between each of the four already there and it is PERFECT! so deff do that! sushi at home is so much cheaper! nots as gorgeous, but fun to do!

Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Carving Knife Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $130.00
Sale Price: $99.95
Today's Bonus: 23% Off

As a longtime knife collector, I've amassed a large assortment of knives, including over 40 from the Wüsthof-Trident Classic line. I own a few carving sets and an electric carving knife, but this Wüsthof Classic 8-Inch Carving Knife is my old stand-by for carving roasted meats, poultry, and game. The reason I prefer this carving knife over all others is that it holds its sharpened edge beautifully, and it has the perfect heft and balance for my hand. For specialty carving and slicing needs, however, I do use my Classic knives with the Küllenschliff edges, such as the ham, salmon, and roast beef slicers. When carving, I pinion the roast on the carving board with my straight carving fork, then slice alongside it, and use the knife tip to carve around bones and lift off the carved meat slices. I've found that this carving knife is ideal for all general purpose carving. It's very easy to keep it well sharpened by using Washita Arkansas whetstones and honing oil or by using a Chef's Choice 3-Stage Diamond Hone Professional Sharpener. Before each use, I always hone it with a honing steel. I hand wash and dry it, as I do with all my Wüsthof knives, and keep it stored in a wooden block.

There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.

The Wusthof Classic line is the more conservative counterpart to the Grand Prix line. The only difference, however, is the handle style. I personally prefer the Grand Prix, but this is an issue of personal preference. The balance and grip of these knives are as close to perfect as I have found. For those wondering what benefits a higher priced knife provides, one benefit is that the blade (or tang) is one piece all the way through the handle. This makes the blade much stronger, and less likely to snap.

This particular model, the 8 inch carving knife, is a good knife, but I find its uses to be few. For chopping, the chef's knife or utility knife are more useful. This knife is too long and thin for chopping; its balance isn't right. Therefore, this knife is really limited to carving meats. For most cooks, this is an expensive knife for a rare job. If you are completing your collection, I recommend this knife. If you are starting a collection and looking for an all-purpose knife, I would recommend the 8 inch chef's knife or the 4 ½ inch utility knife.

Cheap Mundial 5100 Series 10-Inch Chef's Knife, Black

List Price: $57.00

If you must have a forged knife in the kitchen you cannot go wrong with this. I'm a big fan of ten inch chef's knives. Most women and a lot of men would be better served using stamped blades but if you must have forged and your wrists are strong enough this is a serious knife that will do serious work in the kitchen. The steel is easily the quality of the high end euro knives I've used at 1/3 to 1/2 the price. The fit and finish is superb and the knife comes with a great edge and is relatively easily resharpened. There are some other knives out there with a higher profile but they will not function better or often as well as this knife, or any other Mundial, will. This knife, because of its length, can also double very well as a slicer. Great knife and a maker of other great knives.

I received an Amazon.com gift certificate for Christmas. For the past 20 years my main kitchen knife was a 6" German forged blade. It has been wonderful, easy to maintain and sharpen, but it just wasn't enough knife. I did a lot of research and decided that, for the money, Mundial was the way to go. And so I used the gift certificate from Amazon. I have had this knife for about a month now and I use it every day. I have always used one knife for everything, slicing, dicing, paring, you name it, my Chef's knife did the work. And so it remains with my 10" Mundial. The knife arrived razor sharp and I have not had to do anything to it yet. I will, I love knives and own more than a few. Sharpening knives is one of my hobbies and I use another gift, two Japanese whet stones, plus steel from Razor Edge to sharpen my knives. I highly recommend this knife, and it will most likely wind up being given by me for several holiday gifts at the end of 2011.

I love this pan. From the first time I saw it displayed in the kitchen store, surrounded by raw sugar "sand" and a pail and shovel, I was charmed. My imagination took hold and I had to have it.

First of all, it bakes up just like any other bundt cake, so long as you get each nook and cranny of the pan interior with flour-added cooking spray. (It's right there on the grocer's shelf next to the regular spray.) If you do that one simple step, I guarantee that this cake will release from the pan perfectly every time! I like yellow cake for that sandy color no need to frost this cake! Oh, and take care not to over-fill the pan... make a few extra cupcakes if you need to with any leftover batter.

Presentation options are endless! I use turbinado sugar "sand", sprinkled all over, and chocolate rocks for a natural look. I've added chocolate seashells for a beachy look, and once sugar cookie starfish... On another version, fondant "ladybugs" and "butterflies" frolicked about the castle walls. Don't forget to add flags to the turrets, especially if it's someone's birthday cake! Most of all, have fun and enjoy the compliments!

Castle cakes! Castle cakes! Castle cakes! You have to admit it's fun to say. :D

This little bundt pan delivers! It pops out beautiful cakes in amazing detail. Using non-stick flour spray, I've have had no problems at all (and I've had a long history of cracked cakes from other pans). I've baked 6 cakes in the past week. Each one turned out fantastic and was a delight to decorate (we found out that cutting out the drawbridge further adds to the realism of the cake--plus you can put a little knight or gingerbread person inside).

The quality of this pan is also very impressive. It's made with a heavy metal alloy (not like the cheapy bundt cake pans I've seen at the store). It will most likely become an heirloom in my family. :)

NordicWare castle cake pan is super easy to use (follow bundt-pan directions on cake mix.) Cake comes out perfectly with the cake showing all of the details on the pan. (follow bundt-pan directions on cake mix box.) Drizzle cake with melted frosting & crushed candies or seasonal-colored sprinkles to decorate (regular frosting would cover all the details.) Easy, easy, easy cake pan to use, and soooo easy to end up with a WOW looking dessert. Use your imagination on decorating...we did Candy Canes in the towers for a christmas cake. Guests were so impressed, they decided this is the new "traditional" Christmas Day dessert, then brainstormed about all the other ways castle could be decorated for other occasions & holidays (dream-fairy castle for a wedding shower, haunted castle for Halloween, Disney castle for a birthday party, etc.) My Suggestion: Search online for the best price. I originally saw the pan in an expensive gift catalog for $40 plus shipping, also found it in person at a large housewares chain store for $35. Then I bought the pan online for under $30, shipping included so if you're not in a hurry, shop it.

Honest reviews on Nordic Ware Pro Cast Castle Bundt Pan

I sprayed the pan well, and the cake came out easily. Since you can't put frosting on the cake, we put it underneath, using white icing dyed blue for water like a moat. First icing on the cake plate, then the cake, then I started clumpping the icing around it with the idea I would smooth it out. But, it looked like waves crashing around the castle, so I left it like it was! I used the spray on blue decorating stuff to put more blue on, and used blue sugar crystals to give it some dimension, and I am not terrible artistic but it looked fantastic! I will use this pan many, many times and my local bakery even wants to take a look at it for some ideas. So worth the 20 bucks!

Even after having owned this pan for years, I still enjoy it as much as when first purchased. I have baked several types of cakes and used it as a gelatin mold. The pan still performs & looks unused.

Some suggestions:

Follow the directions for flouring and cooling. If you don't, you'll be using a toothpick to clean those details. Otherwise, the cakes lifts out perfectly.

I use Bak-klene spray available at Williams-Sonoma, where I purchased the pan. Then I flour the pan.

Smooth recipes provide the best results. One recipe with crushed pineapple resulted in loss of detail & difficulty removing from pan.

When using as a gelatin mold, follow the instructions for Jigglers(TM). I followed the quick-set method & the finished product did stand up but was very unstable.

Make an Undersea Castle with gelatin and gummy fish & sharks. Do not try to make seaweed using the yogurt gummy rolls. They dissolve in the gelatin.

Make a haunted house or Dracula's Castle for Halloween with Devil's Food Cake.

Dress the cake up for these themes: Christmas Wonderland, Princess, Horse Trainer or Pirate.

Brown sugar makes a great base for your castle. I gave four stars instead of five because this pan can be more difficult to clean than regular cake pans but the compliments are worth it.

As much as I like to cook, I don't like cluttering up my kitchen with gadgets that don't earn their keep. This one does!

It's very handy for liquids or dry ingredients, having 6 different measuring columns on the sides to measure either dry or liquid ingredients in cups, ounces or ml. The liquids conveniently have that extra grace section at the top so that you don't have to fill to the edge, as you do with the dry ingredients, such as flour. What I especially appreciate it for are the sticky, gooey things like peanut butter, honey, molasses, butter, etc. It's incredibly easy to measure out exactly how much you need; a quick push up from the bottom and the ingredient is completely ejected just where you need it. You can measure as little as 1/8cp or as much as 2 cps. It's easy to clean it afterwards, too.

I've only used it twice now and the 2nd time I used it the top of the plunger separated completely since it was not glued in properly as I've seen people complain about in other reviews. Naturally this happened just 2 days after the 30 day return policy ended from Amazon. I could understand if I was rough with this or had soaked it for a long time etc. but for it to fall apart this quickly? Come on, I've been very gentle using it and carefully hand washed it. The plunger top just popped off when adjusting it as instructed.

The rest of it seems to made of very sturdy plastic so I was very disappointed that it broke so quickly. I'd give it more stars since when it was working it did what I bought it for, measuring sticky dough and getting it all out of the measuring cup.

It does exactly what you'd think it does. It's actually pretty cool, but so far I haven't actually used it as much as I thought I would. For some reason, I still find a 2-cup measuring cup more useful.

Update:

I've had this for several months now, and I've noticed that even though the item is dishwasher safe and there's no actual damage, water gets trapped inside the plunger-piece and sloshes around after I run it through the dishwasher. Doesn't affect the usability, just kind of annoying to hear it sloshing around.

When I first got this, I was very excited. I felt as if I had beat the system by purchasing such a versatile, all-in-one tool.

I used it the first few times and it was just great. It did a great job helping me perfectly level off gooey and semi solid ingredients. Ricotta, honey, and sour cream all were measured out well and easily.

About 2 weeks after having it, I noticed 2 things:

1) the rubber gasket that seals the cup started to curl and warp. It started trapping ingredients and slipping when full like another reviewer mentioned.

2) even worse, the body filled with a little water. This was from hand washing, no dishwasher. No way to remove the water.

After another week or so with the cannister filled with water, the black base popped off. Another reviewer mentioned the same problem.

The concept is great, the execution is poor. I really wanted to love this thing.

Double wall plastic mugs do not break but they are just too hard to clean to be practical. Coffee and tea stains are almost impossible to remove from any non-glass product no matter if it is polycarbonate, Tritan or whatever. These mugs are hand blown in China and the quality is as good as I have ever seen. Every surface is very smooth and the handle design is just right. Also, unlike many glass mugs these fit in car cup holders. I will definitely order more Luigi Bormioli double wall glassware.

If you are complaining about the moisture between the walls, the bodum version which costs twice as much as a silicone breathable seal which has never given me that problem, but I like that this glass holds an extra 4 oz which is perfect for my morning 4 shot latte... Bodum Bistro Double-Wall Insulated Glass Mug, 15-Ounce, Set of 2 This one has a much clunkier shape. The assam shape was nice but did not have a handle, while the canteen bodum's don't hold as much again, and also don't have a handle. These are perfect! the same light feel with the handle. And I like that they keep my coffee at the right temp for the 15 to 20 min it takes me to drink the cup. The Bodum assam glasses which seem to be discontinued are one of my favorites too, but hold much less than this one. I didn't like Sun's Tea(TM) 16oz Strong Double Wall Thermo Glass Pilsner/Tumbler/Glasses for Beer/Cocktail/Lemonade/Iced tea and other beverage, Set of 2 because they weigh as much as say something that was stoneware, and thats awkward since they don't have a handle.
