Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder, White
Amazon Price: .99
Average Customer Rating: 4.5
Review (rating: 4):
I had an early salad shooter and loved it. When using the new pro version, I realized how much better it could get. Yes, the salad shooter is missing a fine grater cone, but the new version is much easier to turn on and off. Sounds strange, but the little flip switch versus a sliding switch made a world of difference to me.

I love this device and use it for cheese, vegetables and fruit.
Watch those stringy vegetables such as celery...your knive will work better on those.
Cheese is best shredded when frozen. It doesn't stick to the cone as much.

Anyone with carpal tunnel will sing the praises of this device.


The Apple Machine- Peeler, Corer and Slicer with 2 Bases

Review (rating: 5):
I haven't used it yet but it sure looks neato! I make all my baby's food so this will hopefully cut down my peeling, coring, and slicing time. The product in the picture is featured as red but I received a green one. I like the green one better. It's kinda vintage looking. Which is always good.


Starfrit 93013 Pro-Apple Peeler with bonus core ejector and slicer
Amazon Price: .99
Used Price: .46

Review (rating: 5):
I bought this for my 6+ year old daughter, because she would not eat apples unless they were pealed. My husband and I were sick of pealing them for her every day. Out of the box she was able to do it, and it works even easier than I thought it would. She even makes the apples into thin slices, and eats them that way.

I was very happy with this product. I used it as soon as I got it to make an Apple Dapple cake. It worked wonderfully and only took me about 3 minutes to peel slice and core 4 apples! I would recommend it highly!


MIU Plastic Egg Cutter and Piercer

Review (rating: 5):
Very happy with this slicer. I've only sliced eggs so far, but I'm sure it's great for kiwi and strawberries too. Not so sure about mushrooms, but it's pretty sturdy. I think it's as good as the Pampered Chef slicer, and you can't beat the price!

Rada Cutlery Regular Paring Knife, Aluminum Handle, Made in USA
Average Customer Rating: 5.0
Review (rating: 5):
I started buying Rada cutlery at one of the big Home & Garden Shows because I was tired of cheap knives and of peelers that just didn't work. This parer is simply the best for the price - you don't need to spend a fortune on the German brands - this U.S. made knife is every bit as good at a fraction of the price.

The knife stays extremely sharp - I've nicked myself a number of times when I got too close to what I was cutting. You can keep the blade super sharp by using the Rada sharpner, so there's no need to replace this knife ever.

The only drawback, if you are into appearances, is that the handle will discolor if it is not dried after washing or if you allow it to sit in water. Also, these knives should not be put in the dishwasher if you care about appearance - the handle will get darkened and somewhat pitted.

No he usado el pelador en los 9 meses que lo tengo, y cuando lo quize usar, no tenia nada de filo, es realmente malo.


Oxo Good Grips Box Grater
Amazon Price: .95

Review (rating: 3):
I like OXO products generally, from ok to nice to look at, usually have a solid feel and very nice ergonimically. This grater makes no improvements in ergonomics outside of the plastic handle vs. some uncomfortable metal handles....

This peeler has a comfortable grip, slices thinly enough that you are not wasting vegetable, and even has a notcher to remove potato eyes! Very happy with my purchase.

Cuisipro Accutec Razor-Sharp Kitchen Rasp
Amazon Price: .84

Review (rating: 5):
I look for things to grate so as to have an excuse to use this. It's fantastic for zesting, finely grating garlic, ginger and for tiny shreds of cheese.

No complaints.

This is the second Norpro drying rack that I have purchased. When I would make a batch of pasta, I would always roll the dough out first and stretch it across two dowels while I rolled out the rest. That way if it wasn't quite d...
