"One of the best things I have ever bought!"
"Every single home should have these mats for baking."
"My first use, I roasted some veggies at 350 and the Silpat melted onto the pan."
"But was very disappointed with how my cookies turned out :( the top cookie in the picture is one teaspoon of chocolate chip cookie dough. So I figured either it's the mat or the dough, so I pulled out my old Artisan mat, used the same amount of dough and voila!"
"The silicone melted and stuck to my baking sheet."
"I just used it for the first time yesterday for my Christmas cookies with an oven temp of only 300 degrees and part of the silicone melted onto my brand new cookie sheet!"
"part of the silicone melted onto the pan in my toaster oven the first time I used it."

"My only minor quibble, is it would be nice if the quart size was stamped on the bottom of the bowl. However the size is easy enough to estimate, so it really is not an issue."
"I needed a new set since some of the bowls from my old set, purchased many years ago, had been lost."
"These bowls are lighter than the two stainless steel mixing bowls I already owned, and the lip (the outer edge) of the bowls are significantly narrower than the ones I owned (gave them to my mother)."
"They were as expected, bright and shiny!"
"I used to have plastic bowls in 3 sizes."
"These are GREAT!!!"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I had never even heard of a bench scraper until I took a cooking class but now I grab for it every time I cut up garlic, onions or other veggies (scoops up diced and minced items much faster than doing multiple trips balancing chopped veggies on the flat side of the knife)."
"Sharp enough to cut through pasta dough, dull enough to not scratch the counter or work board."
"The handle is comfortable and 'grippy', the blade is nicely finished and even has calibrations if you are super picky about dividing dough into equal parts."
"After kneading the dough, this little chopper works wonders for separating the dough into roll-sized balls. It cleanly slices through the dough, not sticking to it, and makes short work of separating one big ball of dough into fifteen little roll-sized balls."
"It cuts cleanly and is sharp enough to do so without being so sharp that you have to watch your fingers. The metal is thin enough to be useful on delicate cooking projects, while maintaining a straight edge and never bending."
"I needed this for my kitchen and was not disappointed when it arrived, well made solid fit does what I need!!!"
"I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to have a handy tool to get veggies/herbs up off the cutting board without having to dull their chefs knife, or someone who is frequently making dough."
"This is my second bench knife. But my first knife was a Cestari (also bought here on Amazon), and it cuts sticky dough much easier."

"I opted for the jumbo version of these cups, which had really great reviews on AMAZON, and boy oh boy was I glad that I did. Have a great day, and please let me know if you need any more information, or if my review helped you make your choice."
"Pros: - Non-stick, muffins came out of the cup nicer than from the paper wrappings. The cups have the little grooves that the paper muffin cups have so you have to really wash and be careful to get it completely cleaned. After looking up more baking cups I couldn't find any without the typical muffin cup sides."
"I ordered the 2 sets of the standard and 1 jumbo set of the silicone baking cups at the same time about 7 days ago but they arrived separately with the jumbo coming last."
"I’ve found that my three-year old will eat things like eggs, cornbread and veggies if they’re in her favorite color, ‘just my size’ cup."
"These cups are very substantial and work very well."
"I read a comment about greasing the muffin cups and lightly greased them before making cupcakes."
"They fit well in the jumbo muffin pan, but also are sturdy enough that I can sit them on a baking sheet and bake them standing alone."

"Had a cake recipe which required beating the egg whites to soft peaks. Then, the true test: after all the sugar was in, "beat for at least five minutes, or until egg whites are very firm.""
"I have had all sorts of egg beaters over the years and this one wins hands down!"
"I wanted to beat my eggs better than just using a wire whip for some recipes but didn't want to pull out my hand beater so I tried this little tool. You just wipe the handle part clean and the beater part goes in the top rack."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I've listened to my wife scream and yell every Christmas for over 40 years when making Spritz cookies with the old metal screw press that she got from her mother. We found that the cookie sheets have to be free of grease AND put them in the freezer so that they are ice cold when you press the cookies. It helps them to stick to the cookie sheet and come off the press."
"Kichon Cookie Press Kit with Silicone Baking Mat - 5/10 - A lot of dough left inside the tube, poor constructed piston, not stainless steel. NuVita Cookie Press Set - 1/10 - The tube is very small, the plastic holder of the template pops off. Westmark Germany Multipurpose Stainless Steel Cookie Press and Piping Gun Decorating Kit with Recipes - 4/10 - looks and feels the same as #4, but have a metal tube."
"They are sending me another cookie press, free of charge, but based on their shipping estimate, I probably won't receive it before Christmas. I've never owned a cookie press before and a family member talked me out of it last holiday because she said they can be tricky and the dough has to be "just right". I just wanted something to make some fast, yummy treats, especially when my family gets into town later in the week. Then I added green food coloring and mint extract to make Christmas trees. I did a couple of sample cookies on a plate to make sure the dough was all pressed firmly into the cylinder. Some dough will trap itself at the top of the plunger unit, but I swished it under some water before I washed the rest of the parts to loosen it."
"The key to spritz cookies is to wash and cool the cookie sheets between batches."
"I bought the press at the urging of my daughter who had made spritz cookies many years ago."
"More perfect cookies...less fails."
"However it takes a lot of practice to produce the cookies and they are much smaller than a traditional press."
"Fits perfect in the OXO cookie press, does not come with a container but all disks fit into the one that often comes with the original press."

I say this because Ive noticed most Amazon reviews these days are coming from people who get free stuff which I find so disappointing that the authenticity of the reviews here are going in that downward direction."
"I desperately wish I could fit a Pinterest lifestyle into my 18-hour days, but that ain't ever gonna happen. The price was right (around $7 - if it's skyrocketed, the product is likely temporarily out of stock - hold off and it'll go back down) so I figured hey, I suck at everything crafty but MAYBE I can handle this. It cuts cantaloupe, honeydew, sliced block cheese, and thick-cut lunch meats into perfect sizes for my kids. If you wanna be extra fancy and earn Pinterest points, get a melon baller for watermelon and go buy a $12 box of 101 cookie cutters from Walmart for sandwiches."
"These work great and aren't hard to push through fruit, including melons, apples, and pears, which I'm doing in an effort to increase the variety of fruit my 3 year old will eat."

This tool can be used to laminate dough for French pastries, such as croissants and puff pastry. It can be used to roll out dough for pasta, which has been a great help for me, due to the fact that I don't own a pasta making appliance."
"Made making cut-out cookies and other rollout doush so much easier."
"I wash, rub ( very small amount lik a 1/4 of a teaspoon)olive oil and sit in a place this in a place to can dry. You can also rub into to clean dry rolling pin."
"It is well made and there are several sizes of disks to allow you to roll your dough into different thicknesses so if you want to roll out a pie crust you can choose one thickness and if you later want to roll out a cookie dough you can choose another thickness."
"This rolling pin works great for making sure dough is rolled out evenly."
"Purchased for all of my desert making needs, what a great product, the adjustable rings come in handy when choosing thickness of dough, plus the markings on pin allows for that perfect roll!"
"There is no locking mechinism to ensure the guides are screwed on completely level, so you wind up with the guide allowing more space on one edge than the other."

Best Baking Sifters
The Bellemain 3 Cup Flour Sifter gives the home baker plenty of room to measure out and sift a full 3 cups of flour or sugar at once. The Bellemain Sifter’s volume measurements are stamped right into the stainless steel so they are easy to read from the inside and the outside of the sifter cup. The cup gives you plenty of extra room so you know you'll always get a full 3 cup measurement, unlike other sifters that barely give you enough room and keep you guessing about measurements. CLASSIC RELIABLE HAND CRANK AND SINGLE MESH: Professionals prefer crank-style sifters over hand squeeze sifter models because they can stand up to repeated use without tiring out your hand. But the Bellemain Sifter’s hand crank operates smoothly and effortlessly - lightweight flours and sugars practically sift themselves.

I already had a similar one (my late mothers) but it wasn't Stainless Steel like this one and it was starting to get some rust and becoming unsanitary. It sifts 2 cups of flour (what I use for my biscuits) within fifteen to twenty seconds. A little longer if you try and beat up the big lumps that are left in the bottom but I dump those in the garbage can."
"At first I was wondering if the bail would not work its way through the very last bits of flour and would leave a bunch unsifted. The one my mother had years ago was spring-powered where you squeezed the handle to move the bail."
"I ordered two sitters because my son is gluten free and I just wanted to make sure it was free from any wheat flour when I baked for him."
"The first time I used this sifter I made a big mess because I am used to sifters with which I have to put a lot of pressure."
"Well, Martha Stewart recommended the crank-type of sifter....so, I thought I would give it a try."
"Has some of the newer ones that you squeezed the handle to sift and found now with my arthritic hands its very hard to use."
"My grandmother had one of these crank-style sifters (though not this particular brand) for 30 years or more."
"Returned item because the (1) large hole in the side where the crank handle is attached, ingredients at the one cup level escape (nullifying the 3 cup capacity), (2) sifting screen grid is large rendering coarser results than with a finer grid screen, and (3) small diameter rod that scrapes the contents across the screen to push through the ingredients touches only about the center one-third of the screen."
