WMF Small Teaball with Mesh Strainer Review

WMF Small Teaball with Mesh Strainer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Based on the review about it getting stuck, I was sort of worried, but I wanted a solid tea infuser, and not one made in China (this one is made in Germany). I thought it got stuck for me once, but realized I was twisting the wrong way. Just be sure you twist the part without the chain counter-clockwise. It holds a good amount of tea, which is good because I like a little bit stronger tea than what is in standard bags. You will get some tea in the bottom of your cup, but it's very little, and I think hard to avoid with any infuser. It does take up a bit of space, so I end up filling my cup close to the brim while it steeps. As infusers go, it is relatively thick metal, so it will retain heat. After it's done I just wash it with cold water, and open it over the trash. Easy to clean, and ready to use again. There's a big one for kettles too, which I might get next.

Average Reviews:

I'm very happy with the china Cap strainer, But it's a big puppy. I use it with my 20 quart pot, and for that it works great, but I wish I had purchased a smaller one. Maybe an 8 in. but for the money and making broth it works great for what I'm using it for. but do keep in mind that thing is big......

Everything you want and nothing you don't. This ultra-fine strainer's perforated body was designed to keep the tiniest lumps, seeds and skin from sauces, stocks and pureed soups. High quality and professional grade, this stainless steel china cap is also awesome for blanching vegetables and reheating pasta. It's heavy-duty and made of steel, so it won't rust and it's tough enough for everyday commercial use. Steel reinforcements protect the fine mesh and the one-piece handle and hook make it easy to stabilize the strainer over pots and containers. In stock and ready to ship. Features: Made of durable stainless steel. Ultra-fine perforated steel mesh. Sturdy 1-piece handle. Specs: Dimensions: 8"W x 8 1/4"H or 12"W x 11 1/2"H. Handle dimensions: 9 1/4"L. Perforations: 1/16"W.

Norpro 2 Quart Stainless Steel Multipurpose Food Mill Review

Norpro 2 Quart Stainless Steel Multipurpose Food Mill
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?

Stainless Steel Sink Strainer Review

Stainless Steel Sink Strainer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This strainer is perfect because it fits the kitchen sink drain to a "T"; it doesn't slide around. I've had it for about 3 years now and it looks nearly like new. It will never rust and there's no coating or paint to wear or chip off since it's stainless steel. Also, it's fairly heavy duty so I don't think that under normal use it will ever dent, either. It's easy to clean (just like any dish) and food doesn't get caught in it and stuck like it does in those screen type strainers. It's perfect!

Sink & Tub Strainer- White by Fox Run Review

Sink and Tub Strainer- White by Fox Run
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a really good kitchen drain strainer, but with a major drawback. It fits the drain perfectly, is easy to clean, etc., but the paint finish will only last a few months before it begins to chip, crack and then rust....staining the sink. The PERFECT kitchen drain strainer is the same as this one, but made out of stainless steel. It's also made by "Progressive" and is model number: GT-6746. It is only a little bit more $, but well worth it. Search it out here on Amazon. I've had the stainless steel one for over 3 years and it is as good as new. It will last forever.

Oster Branded Splatter Shield Review

Oster Branded Splatter Shield
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I returned this item because it is just too big and awkward. The handle does not fold down so this makes it cumbersome to fit neatly into cupboard along side pots & pans (where you would want to keep it for use) I choose to go with the flat (no handle) silicone splatter shields instead. They come in different sizes and clean up very well.

Dexas Silicone Splatter Screen Review

Dexas Silicone Splatter Screen
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
because on those rare occasions when I've fried food this keeps the oil in the pan and off of me. Unlike the metal splatter screens I use to use. It's also great to use as a strainer when boiling a pot of spagetti. The handle stays nice and cool. This still looks as good as new and it's very durable and sturdy. This is not flimsy in any way. It's perfect for my needs and it looks great in my kitchen.

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

Orka Silicone 14 Silicone Splatter Screen.  Color Black.

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 Grip-EZ Red Silicone Splatter Screen Strainer Review

Norpro Grip-EZ Red Silicone Splatter Screen Strainer
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.
