Progressive Micro Silicone Pinch Bowl, Set of 4 Review

These nifty little pinch bowls are brightly colored and perfect for storing relatively coarse items in your mise en place.The silicone surface of the little bowls, though, is just a little tacky, and I've found that finer condiments like salt and flour stick to the inside of the bowls.These bowls are perfect for a pinch of an herb, but, because of the slight stickiness of the surface, not great for, say, a precise 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Nylon Pan Scrapers (Set of 2) Review

I got a set of these a few years ago and use them regularly.They are very sturdy and the thick rounded end allows you to use a lot of pressure without hurting your hands.I have used them with teflon coated cookie sheets and skillets, and the shape allows me to get into corners without any problem.The scrapers have lasted me a few years now without getting any knicks in them and without scratching any of my cookware.I was surprised to see Amazon's suggestion to use one for scraping ice off the car, I do not think I would recommend them for that use.Their size is very handy for pots and pans, but VERY narrow for using on a car windshield, and you don't have the same type of leverage as an ice scraper made for that purpose.

Norpro 15-Inch Stainless-Steel Magnetic Knife Bar Review

Bought this for an apartment with limited space. While the directions are limited, it's pretty simple to install if you use the wall anchors or drill into a stud. It's a perfect size for about 5 kitchen knives with enough magnetism to hold them securely. Simply twist them toward the spine of the knife to release.

It looks good, works great, opens up drawer space and keeps my knives from getting banged up. Will get another one when I move again.

Krona 8-Quart 4-Piece Steamer/Cooker Set Review

I have owned a set of Norpro Krona pots and pans for over seven years, getting heavy use each day. When I saw that there was now a 4-piece Steamer/Cooker Set, I immediately ordered one. The arrangement of steamer basket suspended by its rim over a pasta colander makes it ideal for steaming vegetables while simultaneously boiling pasta. The vegetables can be lifted out of the pot at any time by the folding wire handles on the steamer basket, allowing you to control their tenderness.I am unhappy with the new glass-and-steel lids that Norpro has begun using because they are not seamless nor as well-made as the older, solid-steel lids. Other than that, the Steamer/Cooker Set has performed exactly as expected and as always, with an entirely stainless steel construction, has been easy to clean either by hand or in the dishwasher. And yes, the triple-layer construction on the bottom of the pan diffuses the heat from my gas burners very effectively.

KitchenAid Silicone Square Cake Pan, Red Review

This is my wonderful kitchen find of 2005 - I purchased several pieces, including this one and potholders from KitchenAid.

Imagine pans that will never rust, get scratched or bent.They cook evenly, clean up beautifully. A particular favorite are the potholders which are also great jar openers, trivets and impromptu food covers for small microwave containers.

I have baked brownies, chickens, casseroles and vegetables in this thing. All came out perfectly.

Don't think they would be broiler friendly - I still use Pyrex for that!

Norpro Silicone 3-Piece Egg/Pancake Ring Set Review

While the product quality is good, these 3 shapes are REALLY large.Much larger than I anticipated. The circle is 5-1/8 inch in outside diameter, and 4-5/8 inch inside diameter.I think this is really too large for a single egg (unless you use a jumbo egg)....maybe two eggs would be more like it.Great for a pancake, though. The circle is way too big for cooking an egg for an english muffin sandwich, or even a large hamburg roll.The star would be OK for a single egg, or a smaller pancake, but the heart too large for an egg....again, OK for a pancake.

KitchenAid Tools and Gadgets 17-pc. Set - Black Review

The KitchenAid can opener is actually the best can opener I have used/owned. If you mutilated your hand, then it's probably your technique. No can opener has a mind of its own.The peeler is also good. I also have the KitchenAid pizza cutter and ice cream scoop, which are great as well. The pizza cutter cuts amazingly well. The other tools - spatula, basting spoon, tongs - are ginormous compared to my small hands so it's difficult to handle the weight. The smaller tools, however, are invaluable.

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.

Norpro V Slicer Grater, Mandolin Review

First, the Norpro is %100 compatible with the Bron, including the Bron's replacement blades (available in a wide variety of sizes, though not at amazon--yet).
Safety: First, if you haven't put in at least a hundred hours on a mandoline, be sure to use protection.No, not that ...worthless/dangerous pusher.Use a butcher's glove (or "oyster glove"), preferably a chain mail one.You could get by with significantly more affordable Kevlar or "Fibers Woven with Stainless Steel Threading" ones, but you will be more prone to bruising and nicks.Second, keep your eye on the blade, not on the vegetable.Third, use smooth, swift strokes applying as much pressure toward the mandoline's face as you do on the stroke itself.Last, and most importantly- don't rush!Take your time, maintain your focus, zone out that burning smell coming from the oven.
The mandoline produces narrow shallow decorative crinkles.While waffle cut vegetables are quite possible with this sturdy industry standard, it takes a lot of adjusting and they come out thin without good definition of holes.For a better waffle cut consider a stand alone crinkle cutter.The washboard style ones typically aren't adjustable, so I'd recommend a hand held crinkle blade (look for deeper/wider scallops).
To produce uniform slices, you can either move the julienne blades to neutral or remove the blades completely.The first method often produces slices with nicks on them from where the slices catch on the hanging julienne blades.The second method is time consuming and may lead to eventually stripping out the nuts (so be careful not to over tighten).
This is a time saving and indispensable tool once you get accustomed to it.It could use more documentation.

Norpro 5-1/2-Inch Garlic Baker Review

Being a collector of kitchen gadgets, I purchased this a few years ago and it disappeared among the other items in my collection. I found it recently and bought some fresh garlic, drizzled it with olive oil, and sprinkled some fresh thyme over it. About 45 minutes later, the house was filled with the aroma of roasted garlic....YUMMM!!! I have used roasted garlic with mashed potatoes and will never again do it any other way. The Norpro works much better than foil as it bakes the garlic more evenly. I use this item all the time now and just toss it in the oven when I'm roasting another main dish or casserole. It's so good that you may find yourself wanting more than one, as there is nothing that tastes better than food smothered in roasted garlic.
