Works great, but when it came I had to re-bend it into working shape. Shouldn't have to do that.

Joyce Chen Stainless Steel Strainer, 7 Inch Review

Being an Italian food lover, I make pasta a lot. Using the Stainless Steel Strainer (also known as a "spider") eliminates the need for a colander if you are putting your pasta in a sauce. As soon as the pasta is done just scoop it out, let it drain and put it into your sauce pan. It works like a charm!

Typhoon Professional Cook's Wire Skimmer Review

This is a great kitchen tool. It works well on fishing things out of hot oil or hot water. The only problem I have with it is I was in a hurry and put it in the dishwasher to clean and now it's a little rusty in a couple spots on the mesh. I scrubbed those by hand and rubbed a little cooking oil in. Take the time to wash by hand.

Presto 05100 Microwave Bacon Cooker Review

As I rapidly roar toward middle-age, I have not been paying as much attention to my diet as I should. Then on my forty-something birthday, my friend gave me this Presto 05100 PowerCrisp Microwave Bacon Cooker. It was one of the best gifts I've ever received. Besides removing unhealthy grease and fat from my bacon, it actually is neater and more convenient than using a frying pan. But health, convenience and neatness be darned! The bacon tastes great! This is a great product.

Cooks lighter, leaner and healthier than pan fired - cooking racks allow fat to drip into exclusive deep base. Big capacity. Easy to load - just drape slices over removable rack and place in base. Wrap around handle makes base easy to grasp, even on a turntable. Slotted top allows cooked bacon to be lifted away with a knife. Dishwasher safe. No tiny grooves to clean. Remove cooking racks and stack in base for compact storage.

Nonstick 4-Piece Egg/Pancake Ring Set Review

Nonstick 4-Piece Egg/Pancake Ring Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These rings are the perfect size for making eggs to put on english muffins or small hamburger buns. (like the Breakfast Jack) I have not tried to make pancakes in them, because they would be really tiny and I do not have a need for perfectly round pancakes. This product consists of four separate rings that can connect to a handle. I have had my best results when I just use the rings by themselves and don't bother with the handle. The eggs still stick to the edge of the ring a little bit, so I have to tap the spatula against the ring as I am lifting it up (using a glove-style potholder. When the rings are all connected it is harder to get each egg out of the ring cleanly. Also, be aware that if your pan is a little warped, then a little bit of egg can leak from under the ring. If you just leave it, however, the little bit that leaks will cook fast and prevent more from leaking out.
Overall, I love these! I worked at Jack in the Box as a teenager and have always wanted egg rings. I gave it 4 stars just because the handle is kind of flimsy and it really is impractical to use for pancakes.

Norpro Taco Press Review

Norpro Taco Press
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There are two ways to use this utensil... plunge into deep fat, or cook one side at a time. If you do one side at a time, you actually have to fry one side, take hold of the cool side of the tortilla, and flip it over and fry the other side because of the configuration of the handle, you can't just turn the thing over. You have to flip the tortilla itself. Still a timesaver if you're used to molding them in the pan with regular tongs. I do wear a leather work glove on the hand I'm holding it with, though. It gets quite warm.

Progressive International Jumbo Potato Cutter Review

Progressive International Jumbo Potato Cutter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Years ago I bought a potato cutter at a garage sale. It was all steel and a good size (accepting virtually any potato without cutting it down to size). I've been very happy with it.
Recently we bought a cabin so needed to add a second set of kitchen tools. One of the items we decided we wanted was a second potato cutter. I ordered this one because of the "jumbo" in the name hoping that it would work as well as our previous garage sale cutter.
Thankfully, this product lives up to the jumbo name. It's larger than our garage sale cutter by 20% or so. It is easy to use and clean up. Not to mention it has a suction cup to attach it to the counter which works surprisingly well.
Pros: Large with two sizes of cutting blades; a larger mesh for traditional fries and smaller mesh for McDonald-like fries.
Cons: It's plastic and steel which makes me wonder about longevity.
All-in-all, I think this was a good purchase.
Update
My wife loves this vegetable cutter and has asked me to order another! She has used ours at least twice a week since we recieved it in Aug 2005 and has had no difficulties with it at all. I'm surprised to see that another purchaser has had problems with this product. Perhaps they received a defective one? At any rate, I would still recommend the product.
