Norpro Apple Mate 3 Review

I'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

I 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.

Norpro Nonstick Jelly Roll Pan 17 Inch by 11-Inch Review

I bought this to round out my purchase for free shipping. It's okay but was a little too wide for my narrow wall oven so I had to bend the side lip up to make it fit.

Norpro Fondue Sets Review

We purchased two of the black 10 piece model (cast iron) of this fondue set for a party we were having. Although it did the job fine be warned that the "fondue" brass plaque that is featured on the side is glued on. Once the pot is heated the glue melts making the hot plaque fall off onto the table, then the melted glue will continue dripping down the side of the pot into the flame permeating the air with a burnt chemical smell. It is obvious that this product was not tested before going to market but on the bright side, the plaque is (in my opinion) ugly so the fondue pot looks better without it. FYI: After the pot cooled down I managed to get the remaining glue off by using a blow torch to heat up the glue then wiping it off with an old rag.

Norpro 9 Inch Pie Crust Shield Review

This shield is 9 1/4 inches in diameter. I have two pans from different manufacturers, and while they're called 9" pans, they're both actually 9 3/8 inches in diameter when you include the lip. Add to that the fact that most crusts will extend beyond the edge of the lip a little, and this thing isn't nearly big enough. There's no way it can cover the edge of a pie crust, at least with my 9" pie pans. I guess I should have measured my pie pans before purchasing, but I assumed the manufacturer of this item would have some idea of the actual dimensions of pie pans and would size their product accordingly.
I'll try a shield advertised as 10" next.
