Average Reviews:

While I have to commend the company on it's speedy shipping the product itself is incredibly cheap.
The wooden handle on the one I received had little cracks and lots of splinters. I actually got a good size splinter in my hand from simply unwrapping it!
Even the wire mesh has some sharp edges (which should have been smoothed down so as to prevent the possibility of cutting yourself).
Judging by the quality I doubt if it will last long and quite honestly I don't think this should sell for more than a couple of dollars...certainly not nearly $10 for something that looks like it will fall apart after a few uses.

Helen\'s Asian Kitchen stainless steel strainer featrues a 7-inch diameter stainless steel bowl that won't rust and is dishwasher safe. The bamboo handle is non-conductive so it does not transfer heat. Discover what cooks in the orient have known for centuries. The web-like design of the bowl quickly whicks away oils, water and broth. This means, when frying, the strainer quickly disipates the oil away from the food leaving a crisp, crunchy coating. When pulling food out of boiling water or broth, the open, web shape leaves the liquid behind.

This item is not solid cast iron . whatever metal they used to cover it looks like it but easily scrathes off revealing the aluminum. Not safe at all since you will injest metal pieces with your food.
It even warns you that it does not need to be treated like cast Iron and that it is aluminum on a piece of paper they stick inside the pot.
Mine arrived heavily scratched and appeared used.
The french fry machine that came with it will shoot your potatoes across the kitchen.
The onion mum spice mix contains MSGIt is too heavy to ship back, it got chucked in the trash the first day I got it as it cannot even be used for a flower pot.

MIU Polished Stainless-Steel Funnel with Strainer Review

MIU Polished Stainless-Steel Funnel with Strainer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used this funnel to pour a gallon of used fryer oil back into a container, and it works very well. The holes are small enough to catch unwanted solid matter, but does so a good deal faster than using cheesecloth. Much easier to clean up, too.
A couple of things about this funnel you can't tell from the product description and photos: 1) there is actually a very small indentation on the neck of the funnel which lets air escape to keep liquids flowing quickly, and 2) there are 2 spring-like prongs attached to the bottom of the strainer which hold the strainer firmly in place inside the funnel.
This is a great product, and worth the money to replace the awkward cheesecloth / mesh strainer / too small funnel setup I had hacked together before.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For $50 you can't beat this as a basic fryer, especially if purchasing for a smaller household. The capacity is enough to cook for 2 or 3 at a time, the unit is well-designed and solidly built, and even though it lacks a temperature control it heats the oil to 375 degrees (I checked with a cooking thermometer) which is what most recipes seem to recommend. The filter system works well to contain odors and the drainage tube makes cleaning a breeze. The only issue I've had is that it's hard to avoid condensation on the viewing window, but that's no big deal. Highly recommended.

Aroma AWK-290BD 7-Cup Digital Electric Water Kettle Review

Aroma AWK-290BD 7-Cup Digital Electric Water Kettle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have tried a few kettles, and this is by far the best. It is very impressive,
The water gauge is fantastic.
The units are in cups (not fluid ounces/liters) which is much more meaningful for making drinks.
It also changes colors based on water temp. Green, light blue, dark blue, purple, red. It also has the inbetween colors as they mix together. The image does not show green though, and it would seem more logical or me if it went blue to red.
The handle is a great quality, sturdy, not a slippery plastic, no horible rough edges, and it stays solid when you squeeze it. The buttons are nice individual buttons with a firm click to them.
You can press the power switch followed by quick boil to heat straight to boiling point. Upon boil, the power turns off (and it doesn't wait too long either which is good), the light turns out, and it bleeps to alert you it has finished.
Alternatively, you can press power followed by the keep warm button, which lets you toggle through different temperatures. When it reaches that temperature it will hold it for 20 minutes. Its a pity you cant select a temperature and then have it go off without holding, but you can always turn it off yourself by re-hitting power.
Whenever the kettle is on its base, it tells you the temperature of the water on the LED. So you can see it heating up and cooling down, but the gauge light only illuminates whilst heating.
This kettle does not alter the taste of the water, heats faster than other 2000w kettles, and has a convenient to remove filter,
If I had to improve this kettle, I would
1) Let the user toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit. To me, boiling point is 100 Celsius not 212 Fahrenheit.
2) Have an option where the kettle can reach a certain temperature and then turn off
3) Have the lid pop-up by a button on the handle.
4) Have cold start with a blue-colored gauge, not green
Overall I am VERY impressed by this kettle.

Cuisinart CSK-150 1500-Watt Nonstick Oval Electric Skillet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was a little nervous when I bought this skillet, since at the time there were no product reviews on it, but I was desperate, and since I had had good luck with other Cuisinart products, I took the chance. Am I glad I did! We were just beginning a major kitchen remodel, which meant that for at least two months I would have to improvise cooking facilities for 5 adults and a grandchild. This skillet has been a real workhorse for me, and a genuine lifesaver (and budget-saver) during the remodel. Its cost was no more than 2 dinners for my family at a moderate-cost restaurant, and I saved that much the first week by cooking those dinners at home in this skillet instead. Its large capacity makes it extremely versatile. I've used it to fry chicken, make one-pan dinners, cook bacon and eggs, frozen blintzes, pot roast, stir-fry meals, you name it. It makes a beautiful risotto, and I've even used it to cook corn on the cob and boil potatoes. Everything came out exactly as I'd hoped, or better. I am especially happy with the Cuisinart's solid, sturdy base that won't let the skillet tip over and endanger the cook (or the curious grandchild). I also love the sturdy nonstick surface, which after two months of frequent use is still like new, in contrast to some nonstick pans I've had where the coating scratches or wore off so quickly that by the 3rd or 4th use the food had to be chipped out. The temperature control responds very quickly, too. You can certainly buy a cheaper electric skillet, but if you use it frequently, a cheap pan will be trash in a short time and you may not be happy with the way it performs in that short lifetime. This Cuisinart is worth every penny, and I expect to be using mine for a long, long time.

I thought Zyliss was a great company 10 years ago but now it seems they are cost cutting. I own several new Zyliss products and they are all breaking. I won't buy another. This apple slicer didn't even make it past the first apple without bending a centering tang, and does NOT stack together for storage as advertised since the pieces are not round (but should be). The reason I bought it was to have a complete cut down into a soft bed ... this so called soft bed was very hard and didn't cut through. I sent it back. Amazon made it painless to return this ... but ... I don't recommend going through the drill to buy it and return it. And you WILL return it !
