Wentworth 5 Piece Silicone Bowl Covers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These sounded like a great idea. However, they do NOT "stretch to fit" very many bowl sizes, and if you have to stretch them at all, you better not be trying to put them on a wet bowl. They don't really fit ANY of the bowls I was planning to use them with (standard sized Pyrex bowl set).

Progressus ServIt Hot Plate Heaters, Pack of 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We did finally purchase these because our Fiestaware plates are so thick, they pull the heat from your food. These heat mats definitely do what they claim, but there are a couple of things that concerned us. First, they DO smell like a car tire when heated. You don't have to have a sensitive nose to get this. The smell of car tires isn't the worst thing, but I don't think it's very appetizing, either. The smell does transfer to the plate until the condensation evaporates, but we did notice that they sometimes leave a film on the plate that doesn't go away with the condensation. Not sure if this is something the silicone secretes, or some kind of other reaction to heat, but I don't want it on my food. We have been able to wipe it off with a dry paper towel and have continued to use the heat mats, despite this nuisance. That said, we certainly do like having warmer food on our plates. I just hope I don't start turning into Lou Ferrigno!

Norpro Grip-EZ Red Silicone Splatter Screen Strainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love kitchen silicone products because they are easy to clean and heat resistant. I even use silicone spatula for frying as it doesn't scratches the pan surface.
We have been using the metal splatter screen for years. I never like it and have been considering a silicone screen since I saw them online. The only thing bothering me is the difference in their prices. The metal mesh is very cheap. The metal screen is very messy after each and every use; it is also hard to clean. After a while the seams break and expose wires on the edge which annoyingly get caught with the dish sponge when you clean it.
13" in diameter, which is large, which is good as you want to cover the top of your larger pans. Nice looking. Rated at 500 degree Fahrenheit. The silicone is stretched tight (no sag) on a heavy gauge metal frame. The frame is not visible as it is covered entirely by silicone. The grip is also made of silicone which won't slip on your hands and stays cool during frying. Dishwasher safe. Made in China for Norpro, USA.
Update:
I tried this for steaming dimsums or potstickers. Put water on a pan, put the dimsums on top and cover with a light pan cover. I don't want to use heavy lids as it may sag the silicone (or maybe I am just a bit paranoid). But, it worked great. Easier to clean than my steamer.
Cons:
The holes are a bit large that some oil tends to escape out.

Progressive International Decorating Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When i bought these, it was the cheapest set i could find with the tips that i wanted. I love them! They work great, and are still in great condition after all the use i have put into them. I really like this set. The only thing i didn't like so much was that the container it came is in kinda lousy, its just a snap close box with a bendable plastic insert to hold the tips. i thought the case was custom made, but its just got a cheap piece of plastic to hold them in that you can take out. Other than that i love it!

Deluxe Pastry Blender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am puzzled by the one star review for this product. Though I did not purchase through Amazon, I am here searching for the product I own so that I can get more for friends. No one in my area carries them. I own the Norpro professional pastry blender. It looks identical to the item pictured here. (The four blades are not common on the other pastry blenders I've seen, and the design of this one is different enough from the standard Norpro blender that it is easy to differentiate.) I make my pastry with cold butter and this is the only pastry blender I have tried that doesn't bend under the resistance of the hard, cold, butter. All other blenders I have tried have such flimsy wires or blades that I can move them with my fingers. These blades do not bend under pressure whether from my fingers or the hard butter. I don't understand why even my local kitchen specialty store doesn't carry them. The "heavy duty" Norpro blender they carry is nowhere near as strong as this. If this truly is the product pictured, it is the best.

Progressive International Regular Scoop Colander Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just love this scoop colander. You don't realize how large this scoop actually is from the picture and i'm so glad i got the regular size. It can handle larger portions of rice, pasta etc...and be just as useful for smaller portions unlike the small scoop. I pour out my rice and/or pasta into this colander over the sink and return it to the pot just as easily as it came out without spillage, and i don't necessarily have to wash up dishes first to make room for a regular colander. This thing is great i don't what more i can say.

It's also available separately in a smaller 3-cup size.

Norpro Polished 3-Cup Stainless Steel Hand Crank Sifter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My previous sifter has two mesh screens and two rotating wheels. The rotating wheels are activated by a squeezing handle. The most typical design. It was easy to use and quick. However, foods eventually trapped in between the mesh screens and they were impossible to get out. Washing it with water only made the matter worse. This is a very common problem. I had to replace it after only 2 months. Consequently, I shop for an old-fashion single screen sifter -- a sifter I can wash without worrying pieces trap inside the sifter.
After doing much research, I bought this Norpo 3-Cup sifter. It is made of 18/8 stainless steel, fitted with a single hemisphere mesh screen and a rotatable 4-wire agitator. The stainless steel body is rigid and the rotatable hand crank is smooth. Washing it is simple. The sifting is easy and the resulting flour is good. The price tag was slightly less than $10 which is very cheap, especially it was offered via the 4-for-3 program, so I probably only paid ~$8 for it.
Now, there are issues when I get this product. Although the product arrived relatively undamaged, it was not packed properly and it could have been badly damaged. The mesh screen was pushed slightly out of shape when it arrived and I had to mold it back to allow better contact with the 4-wire agitator. I assume the product was fine when it left the factory and the mesh screen was altered during shipping. These two problems do not directly speak about this product, but rather the potential problems when buying online. Because this is a single mesh screen sifter, the sifted flour is not quite as fluffy as my previous two screens sifter. Although the rotating action of this sifter is pretty simple, it is still not as simple to use as the hand-squeeze ones. In addition, the sifter action from the agitator can flick tiny amount flour outside of the cup, causing you to clean up the mess afterall. Despite its minor drawbacks, this sifter provides exactly what I am looking for and I am very happy.
I highly recommend this sifter if you are looking for a functional sifter which foods will not get stuck and easy to wash.

Norpro 3775 Muffin Rings, Set of 4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Used these this morning for making crumpets for Xmas breakfast. Worked beautifully. I didn't have to try to keep all the crumpets the same shape, didn't have to chase the batter all over the skillet. Very handy tool. My only problem was that my largest skillet will only hold 1 at a time flat (the second starts climbing the slanted side). So it took a while to make a batch, but maybe I just need to invest in a larger skillet! :)
I shut one of them in the drawer this morning, and it didn't damage it or warp it out of shape at all, so they're pretty sturdy.

Norpro Tortilla Keeper Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All in all, this is a great little item. I must warn you, though, if you put it in the microwave for the allowable minute or so, make sure to put the lid on upside down.
I put the lid on properly, as any normal person would, and found that once I removed it from the microwave, it had developed a vacuum seal with the main part of the container. I didn't know this is what happened and actually thought at first that it had melted together never to be usable again.
Well, after a while (maybe about ten minutes), the air inside cooled down enough to release the vacuum and I was able to use the container and get to the tortillas that had been imprisoned inside without a fair trial.
I use this often when making Olga-type bread. Unfortunately, it's a little shallow, so doesn't hold too many of those, but for plain flour or corn tortillas, it holds quite a few. I also use this to keep pancakes warm as I'm cooking them up.
In closing, I'd say this was definately worth the money.

Orka Silicone 14" Silicone Splatter Screen. Color Black. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I made this purchase, I was using metal splatter screens which somehow managed to still leave a mist of oil all around my oven after frying foods in a pan. I thought I would try this out, and as a bonus it matches all of my black silicone bakeware. So far it has worked great! I am surprised because the holes in the screen are so large - but it somehow does the trick. No oil splatter, and it's easy to clean.

Norpro Silicone Egg Pancake Ring Round Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well made and quite substantial. Fits flatly on the surface of the pan. The outside diameter is 4 inches and the inside is 3 3/4 inches, and is 3/4 of an inch deep. The metal handle folds down flat for storage, and has a silicone insert so your fingers wont touch hot metal. This is the perfect size for a single egg, pancake, or omelet type recipe. I purchased two sets of 2 rings, for a total of 4. This is exactly what I have been searching for. They are high heat resistant to 500ºF/260ºC, and are FDA approved. There are a couple of recipes, and use instructions on the back of the bubble pack's card. Instructions: "Place on seasoned hot griddle or fry pan, lip side down. Pour 1/4 cup pancake batter or 1 raw egg into ring. Cook until egg or pancake sets. Gently pull ring away from sides, remove and flip to set." One recipe is for "Cheesy Egg Delight", and the other for "Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes".

Norpro 367 Natural Cheese Cloth Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't believe how much money I've wasted on the cheap (expensive!) crap at the grocery store. For making stock, those are way too "holey" and trying to wash them to reuse is ridiculously impossible. In any event, if you make stock and end up with that gritty brown stuff at the bottom of your pot, you'll know what I'm talking about. (even after you've strained two times with that cheap stuff at the grocery store and "specialty" kitchen stores!)
I only cut one piece of this cloth so far (maybe 1/3 of original size) and have made gallons of stock and it's still strong as ever. My stock now comes out completely pure and clear, no grit at the bottom of the pot.
I can't believe how well this thing works and to top it off, I think that one small piece I cut off the cloth is going to last forever. It's large enough to lay over my metal strainer and I cook 20 quarts of stock at a time. I now only have to strain once. Whoopee!!!
To the person who says it shrinks. Well, that could be but you must have eagle eyes to figure out how much. No I do not put it in the dryer. why would you do that? I wash it out in the sink, soak it in a small bath with 1 tbs of bleach, rinse, then hang off my cabinet door knob to dry. I admit I skipped the bleach soak the last time and none of us got sick.
I kept thinking there had to be something else better out there and I FINALLY found it.
Buy it, you won't regret it.
P.S. I still use the cheap expensive stuff from the grocery store but only for Bouquet garni. I don't mind throwing out a few inches of that stuff, but treat this purchase like gold.
