Progressive Citrus Peeler, GT-3339 Review

Progressive Citrus Peeler, GT-3339I have used a lot of orange peelers, but I was given one of these a while ago and by far it is the best of the best!It has a side for ripping the rine, the end to get under the rine, and a little peeler to get the white stuff off!I ordered ten of them!

Norpro Apple Mate 3 Review

Norpro Apple Mate 3I'm sorry to say that the Applemate 3 was a great disappointment.I ordered it because it's supposed to be the most versatile of the apple peelers -- ostensibly it can do any combination of peeling, coring, and paring -- and I have to admit that the unit looks quite handsome and is sturdily made.But it simply did not work for me.I wanted something that would peel and core apples, and I couldn't make the Applemate peel efficiently, try as I did to adjust the blade.I experimented on four apples (two fairly hard, two soft), and each time the blade would begin peeling and then would just slide off and merely scrape the skin.I've seen apple peelers work before, and maybe it's something I was doing wrong; all I know is, this model behaved like a nifty-looking invention that isn't quite perfected yet.

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.

Handy Gourmet Vegetable Peeling Gloves Review

Handy Gourmet Vegetable Peeling GlovesBeware of spending your hard-earned money on this product.They say put on the gloves and simply rub to remove potato peels - WRONG!What they don't tell you in their ad, but it is written in the instructions that come with the gloves is that you have to boil the potatos for 5 to 6 minutes, let them cool and then peel them.I don't know about you, but that sounds like MORE work than just peeling them the old fashioned way.It's not an expensive item, but when you tack on the Seller's shipping and handling costs it comes to about $15.00.And if you return it, not only do you have to pay return postage (which is normal), but in some instances you have to pay a 25% restocking fee.DON'T FALL FOR THIS LIKE I DID!Remember the old adage (which I forgot momentarily) that "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"!In this case, that is absolutely true!
