Hummingbird & Honeysuckle Tempered Glass Cutting Board

Hummingbird & Honeysuckle Tempered Glass Cutting BoardI bought this for my mother-in-law last mothers day. She loved it. Doesn't scratch, the colors/picture is very pretty. Very sturdy. I highly recommend it if you or someone you know loves humming birds

Small and pretty glass cutting board looks nice on my counter and now I'm no longer eating little bits of plastic from the plastic cutting boards. Colors are a smidge brighter in real life than in the photo.

Joseph Joseph 12 by 16-Inch Worktop Saver with Silver Design

Joseph Joseph 12 by 16-Inch Worktop Saver with Silver DesignI'm glad that this was available.

I've used other boards for cutting and dicing vegetables, slicing French bread, etc. but this is super. Its cutting surface is perfect and being thin is nice too. I'm surprised with its heft and solid feel. Made of glass,unbreakable and heat resistant, that's mind-boggling.

It says it only needs wiping, but I'll use my sanitizing wipes and see how that goes. I thought about the black finish version but decided the silver matched my other s/s ware.

This looks very classy on our counter! I just wish it was a little larger -so a full size cookie baking sheet would fit on it without overhanging the edges.

Gibson Colorsplash Everton 12-Piece Cookware Set

Gibson Colorsplash Everton 12-Piece Cookware Set, RedThese pots are pretty but they are very poor quality. Very thin,get way too hot! Used once and non-stick coating is already coming off!

I really love lime green, this set completes my kitchen, besides that are very durable, it comes with a great set of instruction to make sure you great pots and pans stay great. The top handle comes unscrewed some times however ever set I ever had has done that. Enjoy just remember Teflon is worth it if your take care of it.

Togiharu Inox Steel Gyutou

Togiharu Inox Steel GyutouThis is one of the best kitchen knives I have used to date. The craftsmanship is superb, the knife is very light and well balanced, a perfect combination if you work in a professional kitchen all day. The edge of the blade is razor sharp and seems to hold an edge very well, and when it dose loose its edge it is brought back very easily. The only negative is that the blade is very fragile which is to be expected with a knife like this so you have to be very cautious not to drop it or hit the tip on anything as it will break very easily. Korin's customer service is awesome, I actually mistakenly ordered the wrong Saya for this knife but after a quick phone call to Korin they sent me the correct one right away.

Clauss Kitchen Knife and Shear Set With Carrying Case, Contains Six Pieces

Clauss Kitchen Knife and Shear Set With Carrying Case, Contains Six PiecesGreat set of knives. I used to use this brand as a butcher in a slaughterhouse. They are built very sturdy and seem to maintain a good edge. The scissors that come with this kit are bullet proof and work very well.

I plan to use this kit for tailgating, camping, hunting, or whenever I end up cooking at someones else's house and I need a portable set of sharp knives.

Worth every penny.

Jamie Oliver 4-Inch Paring Knife

Jamie Oliver 4-Inch Paring KnifeI bought this knife as a budget replacement, but are impressed with the overall quality and feel of the knife I will most likely buy the other sizes too great product for the price!

Feels so good in the hand. Isn't a knife that is uncomfortabe to use worthless, no matter how sharp? This is indeed a bargain. And sharp out of the box. I do not have a dishwasher so the "rusting" issues mentioned in other reviews will be no issue. If you want to read some more balanced reviews about Jamie Oliver knives go to the UK Amazon site (where they are more commonly available) and read the reviews. After using this knife just one day, I ordered the 6" version. Probably the paring knife I will use most often, I have 8 paring knives of 6 brands.

Hagerty Zippered Holloware Bags

Hagerty 19500 15-by-15-inch Zippered Holloware Bag, BlueI must agree with the reviewer from Georgia. I purchased several Hagerty Zippered Bags from two different vendors here on Amazon.com. The first vendor sent my order for (4) 9"x12" bags and (4) 15"x15" bags; the second vendor (ordered several months later) sent my order for (1) 24"x30" bag. Both vendors, by the way, were excellent to deal with. All my silver was polished to it's best and placed into the bags and put away for long-term storage. (I am a retired butler to one of the country's great families. I know all about polishing silver and what is, and what is not, a good polish of this metal).

It was in June of this year that I received a notice from the second vendor regarding the large tray bag. She asked that I check the silver and notify her of the silver tray's condition. I took it out of storage, removed it from the bag and was amazed to find that the silver not only tarnished badly after less than two months, but that there was also a while chalky film covering most of the sterling tray. I called her immediately and reported what I had found. She explained that she had received the same replies from a couple of her customers. It was then I found out that Hagerty has suspended its USA production of the bags and has out-sourced them to China. What a surprise! The bags may look the same, but the quality of material and whatever tarnish retarding properties that may have been added to the material was very much lacking. It may, more importantly, not at all be safe for the silver (sterling or plate). She replaced the bag with one made in the USA. I had an unused boxed bag from the other set and checked the box for manufacture's origin. It was Made in China.

I immediately looked at all the silver in the other seven smaller bags and the same condition found on the tray was also on all the pieces comprising the large sterling tea set. Now I was horrified. I called the first vendor, explained the situation, but they were not able to replace the bags as the 90-day return period had expired. I was given the phone number to Hagerty to find a solution.

Unfortunately calling Hagerty is of no use to anyone. You will get the famous "menu" to select the person you want to contact. Only problem is that you aren't given any indication who or what this person is or does. I selected at random 3 different persons and left voice messages. There was never any response. After two weeks I sent an e-mail asking what solution could be arranged for replacement of these inferior bags. No response. The next week, I sent a not-so-nice e-mail outlining my very great displeasure with their product, but more importantly, their total lack of customer service. I even mentioned that I would write this review thinking they might not want unfavorable mention of this incident made public to such a large audience as is found on Amazon.com. My personal customer service intentions are always carried through to never less than satisfactory expectations. Hence, this review.

If you order these bags, I would be very careful to do so without first checking with the supplier/vendor about where the Hagerty bags are manufactured. On a side note consider this, too. I received the large replacement tray bag (Made in USA) and after a "down to the metal" polish, I put it into the bag. I checked the tray just a few days ago and noticed it was beginning to tarnish. So, what gives with the USA bags? Like the Georgia reviewer, I have used the same Hagerty bags for nearly 50 years without any issue. Now, these new bags don't seem to be any better, or more effective, than wrapping the silver in newspaper. I would avoid Hagerty altogether and make my own bags from yardage from Pacific Silver Cloth ... as I am now doing.

I bought several of these silversmith's cloth bags and found that they do not keep my sterling silver flatware nearly as tarnish free as my older bags that came with my silver. My older feltt bags came with the silver 35 yrs

ago and have kept the silver tarnish free. These newer Hagerty silversmith cloths do not.

This is a great product. It keeps your silver tarnish free so I don't have to spend time cleaning and polishing when I need to use the tray and I like the fact that the bag has a zippered closure.

Hagerty products have been around for over 100 years and continue to be one of the best buys I ever make when I have a piece of silver to store. It keeps me from not using my silver, by always keeping the items in the bags polished and rarely tarnishes if I get the item washed and replaced in the Hagerty bag right after use( don't let it sit around the house for a week or so!) My Grandmother and Mom used these bags; they are GREAT1

Want Hagerty Zippered Holloware Bags Discount?

I'm really disappointed with my recent purchase. I just opened the bag to take out some silver and it's tarnished. Really a disappointment. I don't know if the bag was made in China as others have said, but I do know the product didn't work. I should return it. Very reluctant to buy more until they change manufacturers.

Country Barn Birds Feathered Friends Glass Cutting Board

Country Barn Birds Feathered Friends Glass Cutting BoardThe artwork is beautiful, but I was expecting a full sized cutting board. This board is 8 x 10 inches and that really should have been mentioned in the description. I ordered it assuming it was somewhere around a 12 x 15 inch board but it is not. I love the artwork and will keep it, but it will not be as useful as a full sized cutting board. It would help if the size was mentioned in the description. Customers will then know exactly what they are getting.

Wusthof Grand Prix II 7 inch Santoku Knife with Bamboo Cutti 1555My own Wusthof "Grand Prix II" has been my go-to knife for several years, the one I use for almost everything.

Very nice knife indeed. Great ad on to my collection. Sharp and balanced. Has a very smooth cutting edge. Cuts vegetables into paper thin slices if need be.

Wusthof Grand Prix II 5-Inch Boning Knife

Wusthof Grand Prix II 5-Inch Boning KnifeThis was purchased as I continue to build a better quality knife set. This knife does not disappoint. I love the ergos of the handle, and the weight seems really nice. And it is plenty sharp, I have used it for splitting chicken breasts and pork chops for stuffing and it works great. Love it!

Outstanding balance and feel to this knife. I use it to find and separate the joints of the legs and wings when carving Turkey and chickens. It does a great job and is indicative of the quality of Wusthof knives. Highly recommended.

Linden Sweden-Daloplast Anita Covered Cutting Board, 9-3/4 by 6 Inch, with Spreader Knife, Purple

Linden Sweden-Daloplast Anita Covered Cutting Board, 9-3/4 by 6 Inch, with Spreader Knife, PurpleThe first one of these I received had the corner chipped offbut Amazon had another out to me within 24 hours! I love this set. I can put some cheese and crackers and veggies on it, and put it in the fridge for my son, and he has a nice snack all ready for him. Plus, since I can serve it up ahead of time, he doesn't leave my cheeses unwrapped in the fridge to dry out when he serves himself off the main wheel. It's saved me cheese, and a certain amount of frustration.

Wusthof 8-in. Classic Panini Knife.

Wusthof 8-in. Classic Panini Knife.For most people this would be a good all around kitchen knife, however had I not been able to get this knife for $69 I would not have purchased it. Even at that price you are paying mostly for the name. The knife functions well other than cutting through that tough layer between fat and muscle on meat. The level of workmanship is good and the design functional.

For me, personally, I just didn't like it's feel so I gave it to a friend that that sort of thing was not important.

This knife is awesome. I use it to cut bagels and rolls and to slice tomato's. I also use it to slice sandwiches of all types. I recently tried it cutting a block of parmesan cheese. It makes short work of every task I have used it for. Just another testament to the quality of Wusthof products. Highly recommended.

Wusthof Gourmet 2-1/4-Inch Peeling Knife

Wusthof Gourmet 2-1/4-Inch Peeling KnifeI have a complete set of the Wusthof Classic line of knives and decided to buy a set of these cheaper Wusthofs for my vacation property. I have been very impressed with how well they work. I've owned them for several months now and they work very well. I am an avid cook but since these are in the vacation home they don't get used nearly as often as the classics I own at home. I wouldn't buy these over the Classic line but if I was just starting out in life or not an avid cook and needed something affordable, these are the perfect knives for the price.

This is a nice little knife for peeling apples, etc. The curve of the blade makes it easier to peel fruits/veggies as opposed to a regular straight paring knife. The knife is pretty specific in it's use. It is only sharpened on the curved side (as you would expect). For the job it is designed to do, it works fine.

CounterArt Seashells Big Cheese 14-1/4 Inch Glass Board with Cheese KnifeDidn't really buy it to use as a cutting board. Makes a very pretty hanging display. The knife is a little gaudy so I put it in the draw.

We retired to the beach, and our old cheese boards were worn or didn't go with the decor. Lots of entertaining here, one of the reasons you do this is to get visitors. We kept an eye open around here, but didn't see anything beachy, so off to Amazon. This is very nice and DISHWASHER SAFE.

Vacu Vin Pineapple Slicer

Vacu Vin Pineapple SlicerI used my Vacu Vin about three times before the handle broke off, and contacted the company through their website about a replacement handle. After two weeks I received no response and emailed them a second time.

This time I received a hasty response as follows, "I have responded back to you 2 weeks ago and told you that we do not have extra pineapple slicer handles nor do we offer a warranty on this item."

As far as the three times that I was able to use the slicer, it sometimes worked nicely, and sometimes mangled the pineapple. There was always a lot of wasted fruit with this device since it is made to accommodate smaller pineapples as well as larger.

Save your money on this uni-tasker and practice your knife skills. Or if you really want one, America's test kitchen just recommended the Oxo ratcheting pineapple slicer on their recent TV episode. It looks wonderful and far superior to this piece of junk. Plus, Oxo gives you a lifetime satisfaction guarantee--and I've taken then up on this multiple times.

UPDATE: Only after notifying them of my intention to post a review with my experience, I received an email offering to replace the device.

This handy little slicer is easy to use and retrieves all of the edible parts of the pineapple with very little effort from me. Our kids get a kick out of watching the pineapple being cut into a fun swirl before digging in and enjoying. The empty shell can be used as a decorative server for cut fruit or drinks. The only problem we've encountered is if we cut the pineapple too close to the top it creates a suction when pulling the cut pineapple out out of its shell which results in the handle disconnecting from the bottom portion of the slicer. I think its a great gadget and have purchased one as a gift for friends.

Wusthof Classic Boning Knife

Wusthof Classic 6-Inch Flexible Boning KnifeI am a sous chef and I use this knife to break down everything from shell steak to veal chops, and I love it. I also like the flexibility of the blade. It holds an edge very well, with minimum touch ups. Overall I am very happy with the Wusthof line.

Edit 4/6/05: Still using it, still like new, almost 3 years of almost daily use later. Can't beat Wusthof!

I use the 6-inch version, the wife loves the 5-inch version. Highly flexible yet strong, Wusthof's classic design allows you complete control over the blade. I think buying this particular boning knife is dangerous because you very well might find yourself reaching for it to the exclusion of other, more useful knives for other tasks. A boning knife is designed to remove meat from the bone, but it will do just about anything else you want. Buy it if you think you need it, and when you use it, you'll thank yourself.

As a home user, I must say that I'm quite pleased with my purchase of this knife in the Classic line. Had a few opportunities to use this prepping chicken already, and I've gotta say that it's loads easier to work with than the garbage knives I had at my disposal previous.

Received this knife promptly and securely wrapped. My wife had been complaining that her Gerber knives which I bought 30 years ago were no longer doing their job. She wanted this type knife to fillet fish and to remove the skin from salmon and other fish. This knife does the job and I don't have to use the sharpening steel that often to keep it up. I normally don't pay this much for a single knife, but if this one lasts another thirty years we'll be all set.
