Nice Holder. Don't know yet how fresh the bagels will remain storing in this holder. Seems made of good quality, not thin plastic. Little bigger than I thought it would be but I guess it needs to be to hold (6) bagels. Haven't tried to put that many in the holder yet. We'll see how well they fit??
I bought this knife only because I had a gift card and have a discount at a certain culinary-related store for being in the industry. Needless to say, it's a rather good yanagi, but just rather good.

brought this knife with my friend but he didn't like it. it's heavy and not sharp. the handle is all metal so it's not great for gripping.Want Global G-11 Yanagi Sashimi Knife, 10-Inch Discount?
This knife has met my needs very well. The blade holds a very good edge but on a sad note.The handle is a little short for those of us with larger hands. Since it has a short handle it forces the user to chock up on the blade.This can be a little dangerous when the hand gets wet from fish oils.-JAX
There comes a time in every cook's life that they realize that it would be easier to have multiple cutting boards instead of taking the time to clean and re-clean a single board multiple times just to make one meal.
Buy Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set Now
I bought two sets of these. They're great for smashing wet things like handmade paper and pasted items. But both of the largest boards were warped--tippy on one side and stable but not flush with the table on the other. Still, for the money I'm very happy with the small boards which *are* perfectly flat.Read Best Reviews of Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set Here
I agree with some earlier reviews: These boards have uneven thicknesses, and the cutting surface is not flat. This means the boards can wobble on the countertop. Farberware may be inexpensive, but it's no bargain. Spend the extra dollars on a KitchenAid cutting board, which is thick, perfectly flat, and has non-skid rubber grips. If you're on a budget, Ikea cutting boards are even cheaper than Farberware but still better.Want Farberware 3-Piece Poly Cutting Board Set Discount?
Whenever I see the name "Farberware", I know I am assured of high quality cooking utensils. I was not disappointed with this 3-piece "Poly Cutting Board Set". The picture here does not do this product justice. They are not transparent, as they appear to be here. They are solid and sturdy,a good weight, make food prep and clean up easy, and are a great price to boot.
There are really 3 features one needs in these:

This works perfect for getting the wooden knife block off my counter. I had read the wooden block dulls knife blades. Perfect size for me and provides easy access to my knives.Holds big knives securely. Easy installation and very happy we made this purchase. Good quality for the price. Fits perfect in our kitchen.
I buy the big blocks (5 kg) of Callebaut dark chocolate for baking. Until buying this great little tool, I used a 10" chef's knife to divide the block and chop the chocolate as necessary. For the unskilled or inexperienced, this can be dangerous and a little scary, and while it gets the job done, it feels clumsy and is none too great for the knife, either. Combined with a rubber mallet or a plastic-faced hammer, this is the right tool for this particular job. Great price for it, too.

Let me start with a brief explanation of my situation with this chipper: I am a home chef/confectioner that makes candy and chocolates on a fairly regular basis, and I needed something better than either store-bought chocolate chips (no cocoa butter to speak of) or $15/6 oz locally bought quality bars (only one place near me carries anything like Valrhona, Callebaut, etc and they are pricey). So I purchased a bulk bar online.Want Mrs. Anderson's Baking Chocolate Chipper Discount?
Though the metalwork will never appear in a museum of modern art, this chipper is a solid, sturdy tool that works perfectly. I've been looking for a chipper for some time, and for the price, this tool is a GREAT deal. Recommended.
I just bought a set of mirror finish knifeforkspoon flatware, designed by Jasper Morrison for Italian housewares manufacturer Alessi, and I'm really glad I bought the set with the monobloc knives. Monobloc knives are less expensive in general because they're made of a single piece of stainless steel, as opposed to knives with thicker handles that are made separately, then into which a separate blade is set. This is done for two reasons: presumably nicer feel in the hand, and in some cases, a better, sharper, blade is attached separately.
This was a replacement for a knife I lost, so I knew what I wanted ahead of time. Although the pictured knife is not exactly accurate, and the Premio has a solid steel pommel, I considered it a calculated gamble. I was not disappointed. The knife I rec'd was exactly as I expected and wanted. The item was shipped and received quickly. I'm very pleased.

Already owning two Henckels Twin Pro-S 5-inch serrated knives, I was curious how this one compared. It was deeply discounted at a local box store, so I bought one. It is slightly different than the one pictured on Amazon, as mine has an ergonomic handle, but is still called Premio 5-inch serrated. One big difference between the two, and it's an important one--the Premio is made in China (using German stainless steel) and the Twin Pro S is precision forged, ice hardened and made in Germany. Both have heft and cut through vegetables (particularly tomatoes) with ease. After that, the Twin Pro S leaves the Premio in the dust. It does a much better job cutting through tougher foods, particularly meat. It's true the Twin Pro S costs much more, but they can frequently be found on Ebay and other sites at very good prices. The Premio still gets put to use and does a good job, but only on foods I know it can handle. A five-inch serrated knife is indispensable in the kitchen--I feel privileged to now own three!Want J.A.

It's got everything you need all in one tool. Very sturdy and well made. Had a little trouble with the zester. I never use peels as garnish, but tried nonetheless. Don't know if it was my lack of know how or if it was dull, but I couldn't manage any peels for garnish. That's not a deal breaker for me though. Great tool for travelling.
Sorry, I don't like to review things I haven't bought, this is more of a comment.
This is an invaluable tool. I already had two for my kitchen & needed one for our RV. It is wider than a knife so sandwich dressings don't fall off before you cn get it on your bread. You can dip a big gloob of dressing & spread it so easily. It has a serrated edge & is strong enough that it doesn't bend when cutting the sandwich. I wouldn't be without it.

Although I wish the handle was a bit more ergonomic this is a good product and I would buy it again. I purchased this as well as the Wustoff product which was more money. I liked the feel of the Wustoff better, however, the Lamson & Sharp was dishwasher safe, and the Wustoff rusted. Do not put the Wustoff in the dishwasher even though they say you can.Want LamsonSharp Sandwich Spreader, wave edge Discount?
Love this little sandwich making knife. It is perfect size for slapping on mayo or peanut butter and jelly, then cutting the sandwich when I'm done. Well made.

When I first saw this item, it made me wonder.... Does bamboo grow in Germany? I am not sure if it does?? I can say that this Henckels bamboo knife block is of excellent quality, good design, well-made, and has good features. Additionally, since it is made of bamboo, it has a smaller carbon footprint, or sustainability. These are somewhat obtuse words to indicate that bamboo, in comparison to traditional wood knife block materials, grows quicker, and can be harvested with less environmental impact than our diminishing world supplies of wood, since bamboo is a grass, not a tree. I am quite satisfied with the product.Want J.A. Henckels Bamboo Knife Storage Block Discount?
This is expensive and doesn't have slots for steak knives. I got a more useful one that does and at half the price at a local department store.
I am very impressed with the high quality of this four dollar pizza cutter. The 4" wheel is sharp stainless steel, the metal arm is carbon steel and the handle is solid plastic. It's put together very well. The sharp wheel cuts through the hardest of crusts and toppings with ease! and slices raw dough for baking like a scalpel.

I love this pattern. I have a 40 piece set and bought this one just to have extra place settings for casual company. Everyone comments on the uniqueness of pattern! It seems to be discontinued and very difficult to find these days. In any case, we enjoy this flatware and it does well in the dishwasher as long as you don't use a dishwashing detergent that contains lemon.

This cheese slicer does its job well. I have used it on hard and soft cheeses and it cuts through them with ease. I was a little nervous because the blade looked different compared to other cheese cutters but I trusted Rada and was not disappointed. It is a decent sized knife and fairly easy to clean. I am not sure what the two prongs at the tip of the knife are for but I have only used the edge. You can slice cheese fairly thin but not super thin.

I had put these on my wish list as a future splurge and was surprised and pleased when my hubbie bought them for me for my birthday last month! (LOVE that other folks can see my wish list!) I have owned Farberware before, but, only one or two pans...after twenty years or so, a handle had loosened, a pan lid was missing, etc. but they were still going strong! I don't think you can get a better quality of cookware at this price! (I had looked at other brands of aluminum clad stainless steel cookware and found they were HUNDREDS of dollars!) I have a ceramic cooktop and have found that many of the pots and pans I've tried have warped immediately and were instantly useless on the ceramic top (where things have to be perfectly flat to work). Not so with these pots and pans! They stay flat and heat up quickly. This set has a nice variety of sizes (my only complaint is that it doesn't contain a 6 quart stock pot). The lids fit well and the pots and pans have wonderful rings on the handles that allow hanging on any pot rack! The skillets are small, but, really good (the non-stick surface is thick and the pans heat up well and clean up easily). The set also came with three stainless bowls with plastic covers (perfect for chilling cookie dough), also with rings for hanging. I am pleasantly surprised as well by the baking pan. I usually use glass, but, my lemon bars baked up very nicely in this pan. The cookie sheet, though extremely small, is also impressive. It doesn't warp under high heat and I have used it for making garlic toast and as a pan under pies and breads with no problem. In fact, I plan to put Farberware cookie sheets on my wish list next! If you a looking to replace pots and pans, or, want to give someone you love a much appreciated gift that will last for years and years, I recommend this wonderful set!

Just like Grandma used to have!
Have only had these for a month now, but seem to work really well. Was looking for white knives with blade cover, which were difficult to find. I use them for home use and they work great. No yellowing thus far.
I had mistakenly assumed that these were like my Classic Wusthof knives, but they are not even close. The blades are thin and I don't think forged (they are 'laser cut' [??]) and the tang does not run the full width of the plasticky handles. They are very light not that good heavy-but-balanced-feel of the Classic series. They ARE sharp, however! My wife has already cut herself twice a rare occasion. So, look closely at the picture, you can see that there is no steel bolster (part of the blade on the Classic as wide as the bottom of the handle) on these knives. Buyer beware, had I known what I was getting I wouldn't have bought these but instead more of the forged Classic or LamsonSharp lines (but the price was GOOD on these; what's that about the Poor Man Paying Twice?)...

The knives are ok, but the scissor is horrible. The the other German brand, so much better. With these multipack deals, you probably get ok stuff with bad stuff to move inventory.
I can't believe no one has reviewed about this knife. Its scary sharp outta the box, but it's hard steel will take and hold a steeper edge with ease, you just have to be sure to take care of your knives properly. But i don't honestly see anyone in their right mind spending this much on a knife and mistreating it. Anywho, the knife is a very beautiful, well made tool. You can spend hours just staring at it. The Damascus look is great, and does a very good job at hiding some scratches (in case u get is scratched). The balance is spot on, and the over sized handle is the best i've seen and felt, really. The pakawood is really beautiful. It's a knife with its own personality that (i bet) will last a life time. If it's in ur budget, buy it, its a no brainer. I own wusthof and global knives, the handling and looks of this Mac is head and shoulders above 'em. I still love my globals and wusthofs, don't get me wrong, but this is knife is in another league. And just a little side note, i have contacted Mac USA a few times (email and phone) to get their advice on a few things and each time i've gotten fast and great response. So its good to know that ur product its well backed up. As far as Amazon goes, the transaction was fast and flawless as always, so nothing new to brag about there.
I bought this product for one reason: I had several pair of scissors that were dull and needed sharpening. I was tired of buying a new pair of scissors every time the original pair dulled to the point of non-usability. This contraption is not hard to use, and the price is low, but what I did not know is that the instructions would be minimal and as a result, though my blades were sharpened, they were also chipped and damaged on the blade toward the, ahem, fulcrum of the instrument. Now I am certain that with time and practice I will figure out how to use this tool without causing damage to my scissors, but out of the box it is less than perfect unless you already know what you are doing. And that is why it only got three stars.
