Progressive International Pineapple Corer Review

Progressive International Pineapple CorerI slice quite a bit of pineapple and was looking for a helpful tool. This didn't work.The metal blade is too flimsy for the heavy duty job of slicing through pineapple. With quite a bit of pressure and elbow grease, it barely cut through.You have to cut the pineapple manually to almost a perfect "square" before even using the tool, quite a bit of wasted fruit. The core section usually yields core in your final slice and cuts away good fruit. Messy and time consuming.Extremely dissapointing.Not even worth committing precious drawer space for.I've now since seen it at my local grocery store and Target.

Progressive Stainless Steel Mesh Tea Ball 2" Review

Progressive Stainless Steel Mesh Tea Ball 2'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 Heavy Duty Tin Potato Ricer Review

Norpro Heavy Duty Tin Potato RicerI wanted a potato ricer to make hash browns. Previous reviews suggested washing the ricer immediately after use to avoid rusting, but no matter what, this thing rusts! The ricer actually rubs when in use so the mechanism is not smooth and metal on metal abrasion occurs opening surfaces to more rusting!
The thing is hard to separate for thorough washing and the pin holding the two arms together takes a bit to work in and is pretty much rusty after 5 uses.
Because I am using the ricer for hash brown and not mashing, I apply more pressure...and let me tell you, the handles hurt my hands!
I bought a MUCH better ricer from williams sonoma, it is stainless with with much more hand friendly handles.

This is one CHEAP ricer, spend a little more and get a quality stainless one!

Progressive International GMMC-68 Microwavable S'Mores Maker Review

Progressive International GMMC-68 Microwavable S'Mores MakerI ordered this for my three kids. We love roasting smores on a campfire but do not get to do that too often. When I saw the low Amazon price, I had my doubts. I was still so excited to try this out. It came in and the kids and I tried it for dessert. It was just as easy as promised. It took only 30 seconds to cook the marshmallows evenly and perfectly. The chocolate doesn't really start melting until you take it out of the microwave which is good. It is less messy that way.
I could not recommend this enough. We use ours very regularly. I have already bought three more as Christmas gifts. Wonderful, simple, inexpensive. What more could you ask for? Go get your own!!

Product Description:
Enjoy delicious s'mores indoors with this easy-to-use contraption--no need to wait until summertime camping trips or gathering with friends around a bonfire at the beach. The nostalgia created with these sweet treats can now be savored any time of year and from the convenience of home. Simply fill the reservoir with water, assemble one or two s'mores on the tray by stacking a piece of chocolate and a marshmallow in between two graham-cracker squares, lower the arms to hold in place, and microwave for up to 30 seconds. The heated water allows the graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate to heat evenly, while the arms prevent the marshmallows from over expanding and overcooking, giving the chocolate time to melt. Be careful when removing the s'more maker from the microwave as the water is hot and can spill. The innovative unit creates consistently perfect s'mores--crisp graham crackers neatly holding together soft marshmallow and melted chocolate. A fun addition to sleep overs or birthday parties, the s'more maker measures approximately 7-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 4 inches and cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.
