Norpro 2 Quart Stainless Steel Multipurpose Food Mill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased this to make both applesauce and tomato sauce. The product initially worked well, but it broke after 3 uses, and after looking at other food mills, I can see why it broke. On this unit all of the rotational force from turning the handle bears on a single axle, which is at the bottom, in the middle of the screen. What holds that axle to the screen? As it turns out - not much. If you look at some nicer, stronger mills, they have a brace going through the top center of the hopper. That brace forms the load bearing axle, then a second axle formed by a free-rotating hole at the bottom for support in 2 places. This mill would only be any use for extremely light duty. Once that center rivet goes (and it will) there's no fixing it.
How could anyone give this a 5 star review without using it?

Fox Run 3-Piece Stainless-Steel Chinois Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not a mesh chinois at all. It's a China cap; a solid metal cone with holes stamped into it.
It's well made, solid, and beautiful. Good piece of equipment.
But don't be fooled by the picture - I think it's the low resolution of the photo that makes it look like this has a mesh screen, like a chinois.
But it doesn't.

Great for straining sauces and soups or mashing fruits and vegetables, this chinois set is a must-have for every kitchen enthusiast. The 3-piece set includes an 18/8 stainless-steel chinois, a wooden pestle, and a chrome stand. The strainer features a fine mesh and an assist handle that allows it to rest in pots and large bowls. Or place the strainer in the handy chrome stand while using the pestle to press food through the mesh. The tool allows for sieving good stocks and broths, mashing berries for compotes, ridding fresh squash from its excess water, and a whole slew of other uses.

SIEVES - METAL MESH - SET OF 3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a certain television food scientist/chef says, there should be only one unitasker in the kitchen - a fire extinguisher. This set of sieves has replaced several pieces of equipment in my kitchen and made my life much easier on many fronts. Gone are my sifter, mini sieve, and 2 quart mesh strainer. The sifter could never be cleaned properly and was always rusting. The mini sieve (the type that fits over a mug or small bowl) never seemed to hold as much as I needed it to and the screen would always pop out under presser when squeezing moisture out of sauerkraut. The strainer, which I used mostly for removing the seeds from berries for canning and cooking had been a solution to the seeds that crept through my high-hat.
These sieves fit easily over a wide variety of cookware and bowls and make smooth sauces, beautiful fruit and vegatable purees and light evenly mixed baking products. They clean up in a snap and don't rust. Nesting for storage, they take up very little room and fit easily under my large colendar, which is seeing less use now that I have the largest sieve.
The only problem I have with the sieves is keeping them away from the rest of the family. The kids want to use them in the bathtub and in the sandbox, and I caught my husband trying to sneak them out to his garden shed to mix soil with! This had led to me deciding that everyone is getting a set for the holidays so they will leave mine alone!
