Joyce Chen 33-0022, Sushi Kit

I experimented with making sushi this past weekend, and used this set to do so. I used the rice paddle to turn and vinegar the rice, as recommended in "Sushi For Dummies." The mat made rolling the maki rolls a breeze I was expecting it to be MUCH more difficult than it was. I would recommend that you purchase more than one mat if you are not making sushi alone. There were two of us and it would have been more fun (and productive) to each have a rolling mat.

Word of caution though: If you are making sushi for the first time, consult a reference other than the pamphlet included with this set. It is not detailed enough to use for a first sushi attempt!

I bought this last year for my husband and it is great. We use it quite often. The only problem we've had recently is we can't get the mat clean, but I figure after a year of use it's time to get another one anyhow. The book is simple but it has a sushi rice recipe which is the most important part. I really like it!

I was pleasantly surprised when I received my Sushi Kit. The mat is of good quality. The spoon will work well for making sushi rice and it even comes with a little pamphlet with some basic instructions for making sushi. The pamphlet although small had some great tips and pointers that my other sushi books have failed to mentioned. For the price this is a great deal!

First time making sushi, and I've been addicted to making it ever since! The mat does what its supposed to do, I see no reason to spend more money on a "better" sushi mat.

Interesting tip for those that like to make sushi with the rice on the outside: Most people wrap their mat in saran-wrap so the rice doesn't stick. The problem with this is that the saran-wrapping part is actually sort of a pain and often comes off in the rolling process. My solution: Get a big, ziploc freezer bag and put your mat in it. Not only does it do the same thing, its easier to deal with and never comes out of the bag. Also, you don't have to waste plastic because you can just wash the outside of the ziploc bag.

Sushi rollers are pretty cheap in general, but I was too lazy to go to Chinatown and pick one up so I thought I'd try my luck online. I was surprised that the roller is bumpy on both sides, and the string holding it together is very loose. I've made sushi before on better rollers of the same price, decided to go to chinatown to pick one up instead.

That said it's not unusable, but you need to put a layer of cling wrap on the roller if you don't wanna get sushi rice stuck between the bamboo. Also you won't get very tight rolls, but with a little practice it'll work.

In general I was pretty disappointed, probably will just give this away.
