Norpro Stainless Steel 5-pc. Measuring Cup Set Review

I wanted a nice set of measuring cups and purchased this set.Although they are very well made and will probably last several lifetimes, they're pretty heavy and I find myself reaching for my lighter weight ones.

High Heat Resistant Nylon Fork 14"/35cm Review

I have several nylon forks I use for cooking.I like them because they are relatively safe for non-stick cookware, and are flexible.They don't damage the coating.I was looking for more and could not find them in any store.

Then I found this one at Amazon, but the Amazon description is kind of sketchy, it doesn't give a whole lot of information.Checking the manufacturer's website (Norpro) I found that this a "HIGH HEAT NYLON FORK" 14" long.High heat resistant to 450F.That's about all the manufacturer's website says.

The fork is dark gray/black.It is fairly rigid, not as flexible as I'd have liked.So I reserve its use for a fork that requires its rigidity.Since it's heat resistant to 450F, it's good for use in boiling liquids, too.If you're not looking for flexibility, then this an OK product for you.

Deion Sanders Hot Dog Express Review

Deion Sanders' Hot Dog Express is an obvious attempt to exploit the wild success of George Foreman's grills, however Deion was not savvy enough to work with a high-quality manufacturer like Salton to manufacture his product.The Hot Dog Express is an OK quality product, but handling it gives hints that it will not last as long as a George Foreman grill does.

That being said, it did cook some very tasty hot dogs.It has the rollers like a professional hot dog stand, and takes about 14 minutes to cook eight hot dogs.I used Oscar Meyer beef dogs and they tasted better than any boiled hot dog ever could.The buns warmed on the cover as the dogs cooked.

The only obvious quality problem was the timer dial.It is marked for the length of time you want the cooker to run.I set mine for 14 min, but found that it stopped at the three minute mark and had no alarm bell to indicate the completion of cooking.To compensate, I have to set mine to 17 min, and keep my eye on the clock.This may be a manufacturing problem only with my unit, but is only mildly irritating.I tend to keep an eye on cookers when they are running anyway, for safety reasons.

The unit cleans up easily, as they state.The rollers and the "oil collection tray" both come out of the cooker for easy cleaning in the sink.

Overall, I do recommend this product because it cooks a very good hot dog.It will serve some heavy duty time on my patio this summer.

Norpro 11 Inch Small Spatula, Red Review

I love the look of this spatula and I love the feel of the handle in my hand. It has a great ergonomic design and it's very easy to hold on to. What I don't like about the spatula is the same thing that a previous reviewer liked a lot so it's easy to see this spatula could be very good for some people and not so good for others. It just depends on what you want a spatula to do.

The rubber end of the spatula is just too hard for my personal preference. It's difficult to get it to scrape up anything in the bottom of a bowl because it has no "give." I like a spatula to be able to moosh a bit so I can get every last bit out of a bowl. With this spatula that's just about impossible.

The other reason I give this a two-star rating (and that's being generous) is that the rubber end came off the first time I used the spatula. It continues to come off in use and when being washed.

Norpro 10 Inch Nonstick Bread Pan Review

Norpro Color Cut N Slice Flexible Cutting Boards, Set of 3 Review

These flexible cutting boards are truly awesome. 1) They don't take up a lot of space. 2) They're easy to clean. 3) They don't cost big bucks. 4) They work just fine and being able to bend them really helps get your items off the cutting board and into a pot, bowl or discard the scraps. 5) And the various colors actually helps us make sure we don't go cutting some vegetables on the same cutting board that just had a piece of meat on it.

Progressive International Meat Pounder Review

This Progressive International Meat Pounder does a good job of tenderizing boneless cuts of beef, veal and poultry. It's very easy to hold while pounding your meat, and will quickly help flatten meats to an even thickness, far better than one of those lightweight wooden mallets. I picked up one of these when my cheap (i.e. dollar store) mallet-style pounder broke the first day that I had it. Mallets meat pounders do work, but they put a bit of stress and shock on your wrist every time they make contact. You'll be able to prepare a lot of meats with this without wearing out your wrists.

This meat pounder has a stainless steel pounding surface. Its round shape is ideal for pounding meats and poultry, as well as pressing patties for hamburgers. It weighs a little more than a pound, so it's not too light or heavy to do the job at hand, and does most of the work with little effort. You can use the edge of the stainless steel disk for tougher meat cuts. The round shape is perfect for pounding and tenderizing all kinds of meat, and it's perfect for pressing beef patties for hamburgers.

You can spend a lot more on a heavier meat pounder, but you have to ask yourself if it's really necessary. This one has a comfortable design, with a durable, easy to grip handle. Since the disk is made of stainless steel, it's safe to use in the dishwasher.

I've use this for smashing peeled garlic cloves easily, and used it to break up chocolate for occasional baking as well. It has even been used to effortlessly break up ice cubes upon occasion, and is the perfect shape to put on some pot lids to weigh them down during cooking.

About the only thing that it didn't work for was crushing walnuts, and for that one really needs a nut chopper. With apologies to Vince "You'll Love My Nuts" Offer (the ShamWow guy), I'll pass and go for the Progressive International Heavy Duty Nut Chopper for that job.

There are tougher and more expensive ways to pound your meat, but this one does the job for me.

Norpro Meat Pounder Review

We frequently pound chicken for our favorite recipes, which is why I was looking for the best meat pounder I could buy.My research led me to an old favorite, "Cook's Illustrated."They rated the Norpro Offset Meat Pounder the best of all the ones they tested.They liked the offset handle design, which relieved some of the tension on one's wrist.

I have to concur with "Cook's Illustrated."I have less wrist strainwith the offset handle.The pounder has a good heft, and makes quick work of the meat.The disk is 3 and 3/4 inches in diameter.The overall length is 11 and 1/4 inches.My kitchen (spring) scales weight the Norpro at 1 lb. 10 ozs.The chrome surface is smooth, and could not be easier to clean.One only has to look at the photo to see how easy.

I almost did not buy this because of the price.However, we use our meat pounder a lot, and the Norpro Offset Pounder has been worth every penny to my wife and I.

Buy the best -- scream once.

Progressive Stainless Steel Mesh Tea Ball 2" Review

I have used many things for brewing tea and have found that this Mesh Tea Ball is the best.I have used the loose tea spoons, which have a closedmetal design with little holes all around.The problem with those, is thesmaller loose tea pieces escape leaving unpleasant floaties in my drink.Ireally like the mesh design.Loose tea bits do not escape and it is mucheasier to fill.I cannot believe I waitied so long before getting one. Now my tea is free from floaties.This mesh design allows more of the teato be infused by the water....leaving a much more natural and pure taste asopposed to tea bags or metal spoons.Tea bags seem to filter too muchsometimes.....metal spoons almost taste metallic at times.

Norpro 11.5 Inch Medium Spatula, White Review

It's getting hard to find a decent spatula at the grocery store, one that has a smooth head for scraping out a bowl, and a nice strong handle.This is it!I own two of these spatulas - one in white, one in blue - and they are fantastic.

The manufacturer asks you to remove the head for the dishwasher, which is a bit of an annoyance, but the spatulas are still going strong after hard kitchen use.I oil the handles when I do my chopping blocks, so they really look nice.

For about $4, I don't think you'll find anything better - and I haven't been impressed by any of the $12 spatulas.

Orka Silicone Tagine, Black Review

I bought two of these tagines--total impulse buy, as we were looking for ways to steam food.They have been an integral part of my kitchen ever since.Spray them with cooking spray, add some fish cut into chunks(we have tried tilapia and salmon thus far), thinly sliced vegetables and spices(I have been experimenting with making my own ras el hanout), put it in the oven at 360, and in 20-25 minutes, dinner is ready!

Comes with a small recipe book that suggests microwave use, but we would rather use the oven.Overall, the tagine makes moist, flavorful low-fat, low calorie meals that don't taste low-fat, low calorie!

Definitely one of my better impulse buys!

Norpro 12 Inch Nonstick Bread Pan Review

I have this pan in both the tin-plated and this no-stick version.I really like these pans.This size works much better for baking quick breads, producing a superior, more even bake and a nicer finished product.For most quick breads, I find I can use 1 1/2 times the recipe getting more baking done for my effort.For yeast breads, this pan size produces a nice smaller, sandwich sized slice that fits in the generic zipper sandwich bags, easily.This pan is easy to clean and releases bread well.I think I slightly prefer the tin-plated version, as it browns just a little bit nicer and is not so easily scratched.(Amazon does not carry it, I wish they did.)On the no-stick version, I turn the heat down a little to try to compensate.I believe this no-stick version would be good for a nice sized meatloaf, as well.These are fairly inexpensive, last a long time with minimal effort and I would buy again.
