Victorio VKP1010 Apple and Potato Peeler, Suction Base

Victorio VKP1010 Apple and Potato Peeler, Suction BaseThis item peels apples amazingly fast, as fast as you can turn the handle.

It makes the job of peeling and slicing the apples the shortest part of the job when preparing apple desserts.

Really worth the money spent, in saved time and frustration.

It will peel, core and slice an apple as fast as you can turn the handle, about 30 seconds per apple.

You'll probably peel more apples then you need, just because it's neat to watch it work.

Minus: You have to hold the cutter back until it gets started on BIG apples (or LARGE potatoes).

You need a smooth non porious surface to attach it too or it requires two hands to use it.

love this, works great use also on cucumbers and anything else that will fit. love the uniformity. Make sure your counter is try, a wet or moist counter wont allow sucction to happen.

Buy Victorio VKP1010 Apple and Potato Peeler, Suction Base Now

This is my first peeler, so I didn't exactly know how to compare one from another and I hope this helps.

First, the mouth opening is a good size for Small Apples and Small potatoes or you can simply cut the potato in half so that it fits correctly in opening.

Second: The adjust screw to tension the shaving device is what it is,it's a screw and very difficult it difficult to access with a screwdriver there is no way to adjust the pressure with your fingers.

If this is your first peeler, you must adjust the pressure for every item you place in the peeler, otherwise, you will lose the flesh of the product.

I feel there is probably a better cutting blade out there as well. But how do you find one. It was a cheap learning experience and after using the product a couple of times, I now know what to look for in a replacement. "Wider Mouth opening and easy access to the tension adjuster"

Positive, suction cup works great.

Recently purchased this Apple Peeler as a novelty item for Christmas. My 9 year old daughter loves apples but hates the peel. I taught her how to use a potato peeler but she struggled. With this Victorio Apple Peeler she can have an apple peeled, cored, and sliced in less than 30 seconds. Now she eats an apple a day and loves using this gadget. My 12 year old who used to eat the apple without peeling also loves using this item. I find that the waste less apple using this than other methods.

Want Victorio VKP1010 Apple and Potato Peeler, Suction Base Discount?

I bought this peeler/corer/slicer for use in dehydrating apple slices and after the first use am awarding it four stars.

The machine is a bit fussy in two areas:

the first is that it is very picky about the surface its suction cup will accept. It must be perfectly smooth and my kitchen countertop surface isn't. a smooth surfaced metal cookie sheet worked very well (i doubt a teflon coated one would work all that well).

The second issue is the variety of apple I was using. Red Delicious apples didn't work because they are a bit too soft beneath the skin and the mounting "prongs" chewed up the stem end of the apple. Granny Smith apples worked very well.

Others have griped about trying to peel potatoes with it. I have no intention of using it in that manner so I'll take their word for it.

Wusthof 14-Slot In-Drawer Knife Organizer Tray, Oak

Wusthof 14-Slot In-Drawer Knife Organizer Tray, OakThe product is exactly as pictured. It fits all my largest knives, including several types of chef knives. The raised slots are plenty wide to accomodate wider handles from an assortment of knives from various brands. Some of the other knife blocks brands have narrower slots for the raised section, but this one has plenty of room for all of my knives, including my Chicago Cutlery knives. The knife block fits well in my drawer when full. The block seems to be plenty longer than my longest knives.

Although it states it is an 11 slot knife tray, in reality it holds 14 knifes plus a sharpening steel.

My first impression from the picture was positive. A closer look when I received the item showed that on the bigger knife section, the edge of the knife is sitting on metal rods that are covered in rubber. In the one that I received the rubber did not completely covered some of the metal rods which left the blades of some of the bigger knifes exposed to the metal rods. I will still be concerned if the metal rods were completely covered with the rubber since with some use the rubber will wear out and the edge of the knife will be in contact with the metal rods which will deteriorate the edge of the knife.

I will have to look for another tray to store my knifes.

Buy Wusthof 14-Slot In-Drawer Knife Organizer Tray, Oak Now

This is a nice knife holder, but Amazon is describing this as a ll slot knife holder, with smaller dimensions. I ordered 2 based on Amazons dimentions. What I received was a knife drawer, that holds 14 knives. It requires a 17" drawer depth, 9" wide and 3" high. The 2 knife holders, will not fit in the drawer as planned. This doesn't detract from the quality of the knife holder. But, please note the dimensions, what Amazon is describing is not this design model. The 29.99 is a great price for this item. I had ordered the version that Amazon is describing last year from an Amazon seller, and paid more for it with the shipping, than Amazon is currently selling this one for.

Ordered with Wusthof knives for my wife. The discription says "Oak", but the selection choice for ordering is either "Beechwood" or "Walnut" (higer priced) and the attached picture appears it is made of Beechwood. This unit is made in China and not sure what the species of wood is, but it is laminated with a lot (8) of knot defects in the wood. The indiivdual blocks that make up this organizer were out of alignment/crooked so that one of the large knife slots is unusable. Only 1 of the large knive slots was aligened with the end block. Wustohf knives are of excelent quality and I don't know why they would allow such an inferior product to have their name on it.

Although my Wusthof set of knives came with a knife-block, I wanted the ability to keep this fine set of cutlery in a drawer instead of on the counter top taking up my space. This tray fits the purpose to a "T". It easily holds my entire 11 piece set of knives plus the sharpening tool. The only piece it won't hold are the poltry scissors, which I just place in a tray next to it. It is not a big deal to me that the scissors won't fit. I was a little afraid that children could get ahold of the knives if left in the block. Being concealed in a drawer is "Out of sight, out of mind". The tray fit in a basic drawer and the knife blades are protected and secure. It was well worth getting. And yes, I would buy it again.

Wüsthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears

Wusthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears: GreenThese Wusthof come-apart kitchen shears are perfect to butterfly a chicken!

PROS:

Shears open and close easily for cutting. They are not at all stiff to use!

The blades are short (8 ins by 0.5 ins). This ensures good leverage for making precision cuts whether it's deboning a chicken, cutting up veggies or even outdoors as a home gardening shears!

Blades are made with high-carbon stainless steel so they stay sharp longer.

One blade is serrated to prevent slippage during cutting and another is smooth to ensure a clean cut.

Bone notch at end of kitchen shear blade easily cuts through chicken bones

Blades meet together for smooth, precision cutting.

When opened to the fullest, the blades come apart for easy cleaning.

Rugged synthetic handles for either right or left handed users.

Choice of black or green color synthetic handles

These shears have steel-tooth insets in the handles to twist open bottle and jar caps.

CONS:

If you open the shears too far while cutting, the blades will come apart. As another reviewer remarked, to open the shears 'this far', you must be trying to cut a watermelon for the blades to come apart while in use! LOL :)

SEE MY PHOTOS IN CUSTOMER IMAGES

These are precision crafted shears proudly made by Wusthof knife making company of Germany. Wusthof is family owned for 7 generations and has been in the knife making business since 1813.

If you are looking for a good quality pair of shears at a reasonable price, then these Wusthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears are just the tool for your kitchen, home improvement tool kit or gardening shed!

My husband bought me a pair of these shears after I kept having to replace my kitchen shears, which I use daily in the kitchen. That was 4 or 5 years ago. These things are great! They cut through woody herbs, tough tendons in moose and other wild game, you can use them split chickens, all kinds of things! The come apart when opened to 90 degrees so that they are super easy to clean. I also bought a Wusthof sharpener with a scissor sharpener in it to keep these scissors sharp, and these scissors haven't met something they couldn't cut through yet!

There have been a few times when there was bought cutting job outside the kitchen that the scissors were called in for things like wire or carpet. I didn't mind because I knew they could handle it and would be cleaned up well before they were used for food again. These scissors were worth every penny because I would have gone through several lesser quality pairs by now, totaling a cost far higher than what my husband spent for these.

I bought these to harvest the herbs we planted in our garden. I love the simple come apart feature. Don't understand how it could cause a problem as there would be no reason to open the scissors that far to cut something. They are made in Germany. It is incredibly hard to find a pair not made in China here on Amazon.

I don't understand the reviewer who said you'd strain your hand cutting open a bag of frozen veggies. They work just fine

Good quality scissors. You have to adjust to not opening them so wide that the two parts separate. However there are some advantages 1) easier to wash thoroughly in two parts by hand or in dishwasher and 2) when I am opening a taped box I split the scissors apart one side works great as a 'box cutter'.

Sharp (both the blades and appearance); very easy to clean, and the different colors make it easier to prevent cross-contamination in the kitchen!

Wusthof Classic Steakhouse Steak Knives, Set of 4

Wusthof Classic Steakhouse Steak Knives, Set of 4By far the best steak knives I have ever had! For years we had the Wusthof Grand Prix II steak knives, which are fine knives. But the Steakhouse design is far superior because of a thinner, sharper blade. I'm sure the Steakhouse ones will require more care in sharpening because of the fluted blade, but they cut without pressure, keeping the juices in the meat. The straight part of the blade required a little touch up with a diamond hone right out of the box because of blade thinness. But WOW!

These knives are absolutely amazing. They are a little longer and thicker than a traditional steak knife. They are probably among the best steak knives made today. I would recommend these in a heartbeat. They are supposed to be exclusive to Williams-Sonoma and can also be found on their site for a much higher premium than seen on Amazon.

John Boos Au Jus 18-by-24-Inch Maple Cutting Board

John Boos Au Jus 18-by-24-Inch Maple Cutting BoardThis is big, thick, heavy board. It's not the biggest they make but it's right on the edge of huge. If were any larger my wife would have a hard time moving it. So when doing small jobs, we tend to grab one of our smaller boards. Now before this scares you off you need to consider that this may be one of the most used and underappreciated tools in your kitchen. When making a big meal, or when cooking all day, we take this board out and leave it out all day. The groove is deep and ample enough to catch the drippings from a turkey or a large roast. Flip it over and you can chop veggies on it all day. It's been really nice on my knives too. Treat this board well by giving it a light coat of mineral oil and I bet it will outlive you.

Possibly. I find myself caressing it now and then, and pay much more attention to its care than other cutting boards. The 1-1/2" thickness is just right for us, not too heavy and doesn't add too much to the counter height. We've been using both sides, with one side for vegetables and the au jus side for meat and fish. The gutters on the au jus side can probably hold 2 cups of liquid from cutting up BBQ, tri-tips or a turkey. The 18x24 on the island is big enough for 2 people to work on at the same time. I have started noticing the Boos boards on cooking shows and noticed Paula Dean adding another cutting board on top of her 2" Boos. Is that for protection or added height, I wonder... :-)

Buy John Boos Au Jus 18-by-24-Inch Maple Cutting Board Now

WOW. I have heard about these boards for a while now but thought what could be different. Well seeing is believing. This is a great board. I used it throughout Christmas Eve and Christmas day. One side for chopping and the other for carving a prime rib.

One note this is a huge board. Make sure you have room for it. I measured out the smaller one and did not think it would work; I thought I ordered the next size up (thinking they would be small jumps in size). This thing is HUGE. Not a major problem for me but I could see someone with a small kitchen having trouble.

I have a feeling I will be ordering another "small" one for daily use.

Kalorik Chocolate Melter/Fun Fondue

Kalorik Chocolate Melter/Fun FondueThe main reason I got the Kalorik Chocolate Melter/Fun Fondue was because of the extras. I had visions of making chocolates and all sorts of gourmet treats, along with straight fondue. I was also attracted to the revolving tray. Now the tray is a nice touch. It's sturdy plastic and is attactive and durable. But the pot itself is small and not extraordinary at all. In fact, it's probably less useful than a model costing $25.00. The "molds" are small plastic trays that will tear easily and will probably fall apart after one use. The tools, likewise, are plastic and small. If you get this pot, count on buying a separate set of equipment for stirring and dipping.

The instructions are also unclear. Although the pot looks like a double broiler, it is unclear whether or not water should be used in the lower layer. It is also unclear whether to turn the heat to settings 1 or 2. It also says not to use anything except for chocolate in the pot, but traditional fondue is made with milk, cream, or some other kind of liquid.

The system is messy, though easy to clean. The chocolate leaked all over the inside and outside of the pot, including the bottom layer. The good news is that the pot seems to be made of some chocolate resistant material and cleaning went quickly. A full pot of chocolate took approximately half an hour to melt, a little bit longer than the advertised 18 minutes but faster than many other systems.

In retrospect, I wish I would've gotten a cheaper model and bought my own frills. This is good for an attractive presentation, but there are many less expensive fondue makers that will get the job done just as well.

Edgeware Santoku Straight Edge Ceramic Pull Thru Knife Sharpener

Edgeware Santoku Straight Edge Ceramic Pull Thru Knife SharpenerIt is easy to get confused, especially when semi-impulse shopping. My husband and are moving, so we were new home shopping. We ordered some ceramic knives for the kitchen, and then this product popped up. Oh hooray, something to keep our ceramic knives sharp let's get it! The sharpeners are made of ceramic, they are not fr ceramic. If you read the name really carefully it is easy to see that. But we were not reading carefully, we are excited about out move.

DO NOT PULL YOUR CERAMIC KNIVES THROUGH THIS!

It is effective on regular knives though. I have a Kershaw that I hadn't sharpened in years. It took a few pull thrus, but now it is just as sharp as it was when I got it. When shopping it is always a good idea to read the product details, so shop smart.

Finally, I can get a good edge on all my Global knives. Nice to have a sharpener with the proper angle for those. I was surprised at the heft this sharpener is sturdy. The rubber footing and grip make it exceptionally comfortable to use. Still small enough to store easily and simple to see and control the way you're sharpening knives. Glad I bought it.

That's the whole reason I bought it. I tried it with my ceramic chef's knife and the ceramic blade chipped in three places.

Guess it's ok on my regular knives, but I would have purchased a different one for just regular knives.

While using the device isn't rocket science it would be helpful if instructions came with it as to which slot is which. Other than that it is quite easy to hold firmly which adds to the safety of use as well as the level of results.

They do make a nice spreader for adults also...especially those cat-loving friends of yours.

These were cute, but cheaply made. One handle broke the first time I tried to cut some room temp monterey jack. And instead of saying "handwashing recommended" they should say "NOT dishwasher safe" , as all of the paint came off in the first run in the dishwasher. I would NOT recommend or purchase this product again, and am disappointed.

Want Boston Warehouse Spreader, Set of 4 Discount?

These spreaders are great for Halloween. The finish on the handles is nice. The painted features are also good. The only thing that is not up to snuff, is the blades. They are very thin and the finish is a little spotty.

It's a small thing. I have Christmas spreaders that have the same problem. I guess it's just part of the deal when you get cheap holiday themed spreaders from China but since the blades will be covered with "spread" they won't really be seen. What will be noticed is the cool handles.

Chicago Cutlery Metropolitan 8-Inch Slicing Knife

Chicago Cutlery Metropolitan 8-Inch Slicing KnifeI got this as a gift and it slices so well like butter. Used it over a month everyday and still sharp but not like new. The problem I have is that it does'nt fit well in my hand and my ankles hurt when i chop/slice vegetables. Its not a chefs knife but still i would want it to feel good in my hands. there is something wrong about the design that doesnt allow me to chop effortlessly.

Looks reasonable quality for the price but the handle seems light.

I like the handle of this knife and the fact it won't discolor over time the way my wooden handled knives did.

Great knife, it was sharp and is well sized. I think that the knife is not thick enough,and it does not have the weight I am used to. It looks cheap, because of its width. I disliked the tapered top, but I should have noticed that in the picture. Also, I think that they could have used better material for the handle.

Chef's Choice 270 Diamond Hone Hybrid Knife Sharpener, White

Chef's Choice 270 Diamond Hone Hybrid Knife Sharpener, WhiteI purchased this item after considering the highly reviewed Chefs Choice 120. This sharpener was 90dollars cheaper and is really only lacks two items: a spring knife guide and a motorized honing stage. I think niether of these items missing is a big deal. My expirience was this sharpener was aggressive enough on the first stage to remove enough material to remove nicks, but after the second motorized stage and the manual honing, it left a fantastically sharp blade. I would say the sharpness is very close to a manual stone sharpness.

Despite having Japanese water stones, I just don't have the patience or the time to keep my knives sharp that way and this is a good compromise (for me).

Note that it can mark the side of your blades (happened to me, and it seems to other people with some of the Chef's Choice sharpeners). Doesn't bother me as my knives are relatively cheap working knives and not used for display. Though I haven't tried, looks like the marks can be easily removed with some polishing paper if that's what you're into.

I also used it to re-angle a VG-10 santoku style blade to 20 degrees as to have a more durable angle and am actually much happier with the knife now.

i was VERY HAPPY when i read the reviews about this product being "too thin" for their liking. i had purchased (few yrs ago) several farberware 9x11 thin (hair over 1/8") poly cutting boards. i used them DAILY and liked being able to have them on hand for different foods while i was cooking. well, they were getting old & beat up with heavy use, so it was time to replace them. i searched all over and couldn't find them anywhere! then i found the larger size here, but was concerned that maybe the dimensions might not be accurate (it was described as .2" thick). imagine my delight when the reviews confirmed they were indeed the 'thin' boards. they arrived yesterday (i ordered 4!) and i LOVE THEM!!! i use them for EVERYTHING!!... vegies, fruit, meat, etc... and they clean up beautifully in the dishwasher :-)

i just wish they still made the 9x11 size in this thinner board...

I just learned a lesson. Never leave feedback too soon. I'm leaving my original feedback below but here's what I say after using it quite a bit today. Oh..I also gave it another star. Yes, the board is as thin as described below but I'm starting to think it's no big deal. I just diced and chopped and minced and sliced using this board. It has remarkably few scratches or marks of any kind after all that. This thing is really dense...more so than a more expensive one I bought not too long ago. I'm going to be very happy with it. Oh...and I diced red peppers and no stains. Now to the original feedback.

Nice but expected it too be more substantial. This one is shy of 1/4" thick. It will be useful and I'm sure I'll be happy with it but might still look for another one a tad larger and at least a full 1/4 inch or even a wee bit thicker. It's great to have a selection of board in the kitchen anyway. For $10 bucks it's a good deal.

Bought this knife to continue my collection of the San Moritz knives, and I have to say it's an amazing tool. The knife is mildly heavy, however it is well balanced and feels good in the hand. The heft also increases the the knives' ability to easily and quickly slice through anything that's thrown at it. Overall a great knife, well worth the price.

I'm not a scissor aficionado, but IMNSHO, these are GREAT shears. Big handles make it very easy to slice thru everything we need to cut, even that practically impregnable plastic that everything seems to be packaged in these days. Just another great KitchenAid product. Who could ask for more?

My youngest son is 4 and loves his red utility scissors (they are high quality 'safer' scissors for him to use). KitchenAid provides him with hours of paper cutting enjoyment, while parents can do the serious tasks with the black ones in the kitchen.

The wide handles let stubby hands go through easily, and the turning radius is perfect. There is no lack of comfort with these shears.

I keep these KitchenAid Shears handy whenever I'm in the kitchen. They are sharp, have a comfortable grip and cut easily. They clean up quickly too. I use them mainly for non-food items. The point at the tip makes it simple to push through plastic, such as if you are cutting open a tray of fresh ravioli. I also use them to cut open chips, cereal or Clif Bar wrappers that won't easily pull open or I don't want to risk making a tear down the side of the bag.

When I do use these shears for food items, it's usually to cut things like quesadilla or a sandwich. It works just as well as a knife as long as there's not too much filling between the tortillas or bread. I also use them to cut garlic bread. It works like a charm.

Very versatile. A tool I use nearly every day.

Iron Chef IC-3002 Ceramic 6-Inch Chef's Knife

Iron Chef IC-3002 Ceramic 6-Inch Chef's KnifeI'm a foodie and was very excited to try out this ceramic knife. This was the first time that I had the opportunity to experience the ceramic technology. It did not disappoint! This chef's knife is true to it's description of being light weight, it has a really good feel in the hand, very comfortable. I of course had to test the "stain" proof and jumped right in with chopping fresh cranberries. It slices with precision, no smushed fruit and it cleaned beautifully. This knife will definitely be my go to knife in prepping salads and fruits. As this is a high quality knife it does require high quality care, not tossing it in the sink or using it without a cutting board. All of my quality pieces in the kitchen are treated with great care, this knife included.

I purchased this knife for the sale price of $29.99 having previously acquired the 5 inch "As Seen On TV" version from CVS for only $14.99 (Yoshi blade). I was so disappointed with this knife that I felt compelled to write my first product review ever. Compared to the much cheaper version I purchased from CVS, the handle and grip were not nearly as good and the cutting ability of this product paled in comparison. I had trouble slicing through the skin of a tomatoe. Once I forced the knife to break the skin, it was ok. As a side note, the $15 version came with a storage sleeve to store the knife in when it is not in use the $30 one did not. Needless to say, I am going to return it.

I own three ceramic knives and love them so had high expectations for this one. It won't even cut a tomato without squashing it and I had to push extra hard to get it to cut through a green pepper. It does feel sturdy and I like the handle but I'm not sure what it's good for because it isn't for cutting.

The knife is not sharp at all. It will not cut into tomatoes with out just squishing them. Vegetables are difficult to cut due to bluntness of the blade. A useless knife and a real disappointment. It is also ridiculously priced considering the lack of sharpness. I'm returning ASAP.

I'm giving it 3 stars, but for some these could be a 5 star knife. For others a 1 star. Here's my reasoning.

Definitely lightweight. With its thin white blade, and some of the warnings on the box, I could be quite brittle. I'm not about to see how much pressure I can put on it till it snaps. But definitely don't drop it. Tip or blade could chip easily.

Another issue is I store my knives on a magnetic bar. Not this one.

It boasts that it won't impart a metal taste to your food, but I've never had anyone ask if I used a steel knife because of the food's taste.

It certainly is unique and although they claim it will withstand years of use before sharpening, I can't be sure what one would use to sharpen it.

Also, despite their boasts, it is not as sharp out of the box as other knives (Shun comes to mind).

So 3 stars for a usable knife that is definitely a conversation piece. Worth the $30 in a Gold Box deal. I wouldn't spend the regular price of $70+ for a 6" knife that only needs to get nicked to ruin it.

Will report back after some serious use. So far, a satisfying purchase.

Wusthof Gourmet 6.3-Inch Fish Fillet Knife (16cm)

Wusthof Gourmet 6.3-Inch Fish Fillet Knife...delivered in a timely manner. Fillets (my own caught) catfish very well. A bit pricey for a simple knife (that's why I didn't give it 5 stars). Recommend, but you might shop around and save some money.
