Find Best Price at Amazon"I'd been using the same small dependable hand-held electric can opener for the past 25+ years until it finally gave up the ghost. After getting hand cramps from my old manual opener, though, I finally opted for this Hamilton Beach model. I'd never much cared for the side-cut openers before because liquids inside the can seemed to spill more easily with the lower edge, so this higher-cutting model is much better IMO. The top push-down lever depresses easily and the magnet on the opener holds the can securely in place while it's cutting. I found that this is important because if you allow it to continue making rotations, it cuts long narrow slivers of the can which are noticeable when you remove the top (looks like a tiny strand of steel wool)."
"This Hamilton Beach Can Opener had caught my eye from all the great 5 Star reviews it showed, and from Reviews as far back as year 2009 which shows Hamilton Beach knows they have a high quality well built very popular can opener. The can opener is what you would design in your mind as having every feature a High Quality Can Opener would have, well designed and solidly built."
"I'm 72 years young and this is the BEST can opener i've ever owned or operated.!!"
"Came across the Hamilton Beach can opener and was surprised by all the great reviews and for $20 didn't feel like I was loosing much."
"Reviewers who said it has a short cord probably did not pull it all the way out."
"I took a photograph rare earth magnet I place just a fraction of inches from I can been opened see the metal shavings I would normally have to rinse off with water."
"I have never seen or had an appliance sold with a cord that is basically 'useless' unless you have a connection with nothing in the way. Buy an extension cord, or maybe Ham Beach will correct this incredible design blunder."

"This thermometer is great!"
"Opening the door stretches the wire to the max and can get in the way of putting something in/out of oven and pulls the probe into awkward positions that can interfere also."
"I was doing an overnight smoke and it just kept resetting from "PROG" mode (which lets you set whatever temp alarms you want) to "BEEF" mode (which is factory set at 145 degrees) so, of course, the temp being monitored in the smoker (225 degrees) set off the alarm. I don't know about anybody else, but I often smoke meat overnight, and waking my wife up every time I need to check the temps does not make her (and therefore me) happy. - not durable - broke after a few weeks. - expensive for what use I got out of it. If I thought it would last longer (like at least a year for $60), I'd buy another one. I've had a cheap Maverick from Home Depot for almost a year and it works great, just doesn't have the upper temp range to measure smoker/over temp."
"Oregon Scientific would not replace for me because it had been longer than the 30 day return policy. The Oregon Scientific was a solid, heavy unit with a good belt clip."
"I purchased this product after extensive product reviews and still was a bit worried. So, to make this short, after testing this product we found it to be the best food thermometer for us."

"I really liked this opener. You'll very likely get between 1-2 years out of this guy (hopefully) and you won't regret your purchase once you use it... until you need to open wine and don't have an opener.. The saving grace for the Ozeri is that the charge is a cable that attaches to the outside and it doesn't rely on a base to do this, so even if it does with a cork in it we can still charge the opener and eject the cork."
"Occasionally a cork will crumble, but it is a rare occurrence."
"The device stops when the cork is off."
"Got this as a gift for my friend and he really likes it - he insisted I leave a review :)."
"I provided that information promptly, and received another email requesting yet additional information. I was especially disappointed to receive such a response after having been sent on a wild-goose chase for the various information they had requested from me."
"Was told by Oster it was a good product & it has a one year warranty. Why does Amazon not handle this problem & hopefully with the replacement Cordless Wine Bottle Opener I have a year warranty."
"I have to press the button with a lot of pressure for it to begin reversing the cork out."

Best Cheese Tools
Its design is based on that of a rasp, the small and efficient woodworking tool. The large handle allows for a firm grip, and the completely flat grating surface makes it easy to move the cheese across the blades. Carrots, onions, and medium to firm cheeses all worked beautifully with this grater. It's also an excellent choice for larger strips of citrus zest or ginger. Enter your model number to make sure this fits.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"This product is a lifesaver if you need to get masses of the smallest possible pieces of garlic or ginger or lemon zest or relatively hard things of that nature."
"I bought this mainly for zesting lemons and oranges, but it's so easy to use that I started grating all kinds of things!"
"Works great."
"Does a great job zesting lemons and frozen ginger."
"For instance, our tests show that 1 ounce of Parmesan grated on the fine holes of a box grater yields 1/2 cup of grated cheese, whereas the same 1 ounce grated on a rasp yields 3/4 cup of grated cheese."
"zester is great!"
"I bought this micoplane zester after tiring of using my box type grater to zest lemons, and having most of the zest remain in the grater. Then we cut the zested lemon, and either put it in the chicken, or at the base of the chicken, which enhances the flavors."
"I've always used graters in the past to zest citrus but this too is so much better for the task."
Best Colanders & Food Strainers
Whether you're boiling pasta, steaming vegetables or washing fruit, the Bellemain Stainless Steel Colander simply makes your life easier. The problem with colanders that have separate feet is that if one foot lands in the sink drain, the whole bowl tips over. Every part of the Bellemain is solid, practically indestructible stainless steel, so you can expect many years of trouble-free performance. STRAIN EVEN TINY GRAINS AND PASTAS: The holes in this colander are small enough that you can strain most beans, pastas, and grains as well as fruits and vegetables without any worries. HEAVY DUTY STEEL TO LAST A LIFETIME: High quality steel for a colander that is thicker and more durable than any colander you’ve ever had.

"It is a good quality strainer that measures approximately 14" x 11" (round) x 5" high."
"I have an oval mesh colander that I've used for years and like it, however this colander is much better when making pasta and straining broccoli and other veggies. I have to soap up the mesh colander asap so the starch from pasta doesn't dry or else it is difficult to get off."
"I love this colander so much that I just ordered a second one."
"I've never had ANY problems with using colanders for rinsing rice... because colanders were not designed for rinsing rice. If you put a cup or two of rice in a saucepan and run water into it slowly, the rice miraculously remains in the bottom of the pan while the water rinses it and flows over the side."
"My needs - a metal colander so I can use hot or cold water, that drains fast, that has enough of a base to keep the contents safely above whatever my be lingering in the sink."
"This is a wonderfully made collander, but it doesn't work for rinsing quinoa - that's reason I specifically bought it."
"Also works fine for draining pasta, but as a practical consideration I recommend getting something with bigger perforations for faster draining in that situation."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Soft vegetables, zucchini, etc., work fine in smaller sizes, but small hard vegetables, carrots, etc., maybe 1.25" diameter, don't work very well. For zucchini, yellow summer squash, etc., small or large both work. Vegetables used as spaghetti substitute don't taste exactly like pasta; instead the flavor comes from the sauce and the vegetable, but somehow a zucchini made into spaghetti strands doesn't taste like zucchini, it tastes much better."
"Dimensions of the product can be seen in the photos. Included in this set: *Spiralizer Body. *Spaghetti blade. *Fettuccine blade. *Wide thin spiral slice blade. Pros: *Easy to use. *Easy to clean. *Designed to keep things sanitary. Cons: *None. Additional Considerations: Some quality kitchen shears are nice when using this product. Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, 5 stars. If you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible."

"I purchased this scale mainly to help me track my food intake as part of a basic diet and nutrition plan. [...]. PROS. * Small profile doesn't take up a lot of counter space. * Allows for measurements in a variety of units (grams, ounces, pounds, etc). * The "tare" button is the best feature because it lets me zero out the weight of a container like a small plate or bowl, and only weigh the food that I put inside that container or bowl. * Lightweight and easy to move around, store, or travel with."
"I used it to measure out everything from beef jerky and baked chips to chicken and turkey for on the grill."
"After receiving the Ozeri scale, I tested with my calibration weigh and the scale provided consistent results; $45 scale is out, and the $14 scale is in."
"As many reviewers have noted, the display is small and thoughtlessly placed relative to the scale platform, so yes, your view is obstructed when using bigger dishes. I honestly thought I would not be vexed by this, but I have to admit it does get rather annoying to have to keep bending down to get a view of the readout. It has helped me tremendously while recording my meals, I haven't had to replace the batteries since I purchased it several months ago, it does automatically go off but in an appropriate amount of time (I've never had it go off on me while I was cooking), it has several different units of measurement, and the tare option works great."
"Love this scale."
"It's hard to tell if those who slammed this product really have bad scales or just expect too much (or have a strong ceiling fan on overhead) but mine works great."
"It's a good scale but has two drawbacks: the weighing surface is too small and while it has too many options in the pound/ounce area, there's no setting for fluid ounce. Overall this is a pretty good scale so far."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I like pasta made with AP flour alone - it's silky smooth and delicious - but I prefer the gorgeous color, and extra flavor and "bite" that comes by adding the high-protein semolina. Without using any real measuring devices, I "eyeball" the amount of salt and oil needed according to the number of eggs, then add flour until it feels right, and that's as close as I ever get to a "recipe." (If I add too much flour while the dough is in the food processor, I process in a few drops of room temperature water to correct it.). The dough that might have seemed a little too dry and stiff before this rest, will now be more pliable and the perfect consistency for rolling and cutting per the pasta maker instructions. The importance of achieving the proper consistency/hydration of the dough is the lesson I learned from a seasoned Italian chef in Rome, and I'm here to say that it works. The rollers and cutters on Atlas Wellness makers are made of anodized aluminum with a special "micro-rough" surface that grabs the dough better. Marcato is the largest manufacturer of pasta machines worldwide, and the "Wellness" feature is their exclusive patent. While the Marcato pasta maker is widely copied by others (and even counterfeited in China), no other manufacturer offers rollers and cutters that are free of heavy metals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. This is the only pasta maker I've ever owned or used, but the obvious endorsement of an Italian chef, food-safe anodized aluminum rollers, and a 3-year warranty made my decision to get this one a no-brainer. A clean, dry pastry brush does most of the work, but a can of compressed air can help blast flour from little spaces with ease. I just fold a piece into two or three layers to fit the width of the cutter, then roll it through - no worries - it shreds the paper, but it doesn't hurt a thing and works great."
"I didn't know that when I first used the machine, when I tried to roll pasta through the fettuccine part of the machine and it didn't roll, I just thought I didn't know how to use the machine well enough. It was my first time ever making homemade pasta so I had zero experience with pasta dough, or this pasta maker. I set up the Atlas this time I anchored it to my counter top (I didn't do that the first time), and then began rolling the dough 3 times on each setting starting with 0 and ending with 6! Rolling was daunting the first time I tried it on this machine, but with the right dough, it was easy and effortless. In fact a friend of mine came over for dinner last night and after having the pasta that I hand rolled on this machine she begged me to host a pasta making party with her, her 4yr old daughter, and my 4yr old, so I am. I have no doubt that our girls will be able to roll the dough on this machine."
"This pasta machine works great."
"I recently took a pasta making class and found making fresh pasta, while time consuming, was easier and tastier than expected."
"Should be a little easier to ‘catch’ the pasta as it comes out, but other than that its easy and fun, and I’m happy with it."
"It works great, cleans easily and is easy enough my 3 year old son will help my crank the handle."

"We ordered this chopper after seeing a similar product on TV."
"Chopping food is exhausting and painful, so I had stopped making a lot of my favorite foods, or had switched to pre-chopped versions. This little baby has been a dream for making salads and salsas and soups, and it's easy to clean with the little brush they include. You do need to push it down with a bit of pressure, but neither fine motor skills nor repetition are involved."
"It was, frankly, amazing that our previous chopper hadn’t done so earlier, given the design that placed significant force on the hinge area (two small tabs where the lid attached) of the thin, plastic base. When I saw the design of the Mueller Onion Chopper Pro, with the hinge fully integrated into the lid of your product, I was more than happy to spend a few more bucks to get it."

"I recently started drinking The Macallan single malt Scotch. While looking at merchandise on their website, I found an ice sphere press and wanted one immediately. Use as directed and you will achieve a clear practically perfect 2.5" sphere of ice each time. Hardly any dilution of my espresso and by the time I finished there were still 2 resonably large ice spheres in my glass that I could have continued to use in a refill."
"PRO TIP FOR SOLID CLEAR(er) ICE: Fill it with pre-boiled/filtered or distilled water, and place them upside down in a very small cooler with 1/2 inch of water. A cooler like this would be fine: MIER Soft Cooler Bag Small Insulated Lunch Box Bag for Kids, Girls, Boys(Green). You'll have to place your finger over the hole so it doesn't leak and make sure they stay level in the freezer."
"When running "warm" water over the mold to take out the ice -- Read carefully! Run your warm water over the soft silicone lid first and most (the dark colored part) because it just takes a little longer to get the soft silicone to release than it does the hard plastic part of the mold. When running the "warm" water over the silicone lid -- Take care not to just let the water run into the hole for expansion in the top of the lid. After you run your "warm" water all over everything and you remove the silicone top -- the ice sphere will remain inside the silicone portion of the mold and if you do not squeeze it out into the hard plastic part of the mold.... more than likely you will find yourself chasing a rolling, melting, ice sphere across your counter or across your floor and underneath a piece of furniture...."

The mats are NOT made for a toaster oven though, as the second small mat I tested suffered the same fate as the first: browning, peeling & cracking of the colored parts. Also, make sure to always place the mats on a solid tray when baking and not one with any perforation as the mat will discolor at the exposed spots."
"After many hours of reading reviews of other mats, specifically the WonderKitchen Silicone Baking Mat Set, I decided to go with these because I very often use half sheets (and sometimes two at a time) and I wasn't sure I'd even use the round mat that came with the WonderKitchen set; I usually make my pizza crusts larger than 14" diameter. After lining the bottom of one with the orange mat for baking tater tots at 450 degrees for 35 minutes, the mat had discolored: it looked like it had burnt. I've also used the same mat and the red mat for the exact same food (tater tots) on the exact same temperature for around the same amount of time (sometimes longer others shorter) to test (and because I love tater tots) and the discoloration hasn't occurred on the red mat nor has it increased the amount of discoloration on the orange mat. I'm concerned because, after baking with the orange mat that ended up discoloring the first time, it left behind little mesh marks on my sheets."
"They work well but none of the mats seem to fit my standard size pans quite right."
"Even though she didnt know she could put them in the oven and was using them to put things on after they came out of the oven because she thought they would melt.."
"I saw Jacques Pepin using a French brand of these silicone mats so I bought this set to try."
"I love that they are keeping my new pans looking nice, and they are easy to clean with just warm soapy water."
"With the Holidays coming up who wants to play with parchment paper and clean pans between cookie batches and pies."
"I bought these mats to save on parchment paper while baking cloud bread--it did stick a bit where on the parchment it doesn't."

"Also a great veggie brush I’m sure, but I would NOT use the same brush for both eggs and veggies. from the veggies or fruit and transfer them to farm fresh eggs."
"The difference between this veggie brush and a cheap dollar store one is like doing a 180."
"In the meantime, she bought herself one, and since it was on my wish list, she bought me one."
"I like this vegetable brush because it's soft enough that it will clean your vegetables but it won't entirely rub the surface off like some with harder bristles."
"When I started making my own baby food, I wanted to get serious about actually cleaning my vegetables instead of halfheartedly rubbing them under running water."
"The silk gets tangled in the bristles, and needs to be cleaned out thoroughly afterwards."
"It's a good vegetable brush that is the right size to fit in your hand to clean your food."
