Customer Reviews of Screwpull Table Model Corkscrew, Black
Customer Rating:  Summary: Best Corkscrew by Screwpull Comment: This is the second Screwpull corkscrew we have owned. The first one, given to us by my husband's mother, lasted 15 years, and broke only when I twisted the corkscrew without holding onto the base securely. I had asked in several liquor stores, and no one would admit to knowing anything about them. That was, I am certain, because they sold more expensive corkscrews that did not work nearly as well. This one is THE BEST! Customer Rating: Summary: Best corkscrew Comment: CORKSCREWS MAY COME AND GO, BUT THIS REMAINS THE BEST FOR OVERALL EASE OF USE AND RELIABILITY. IT'S A LOT OF TWISTING, BUT MUCH EASIER TO OPERATE THAN THE LEVER TYPES (RABBIT) BECAUSE IT DOES NOT REQUIRE STRENGTH. Customer Rating: Summary: Best corkscrew ever made Comment: I have owned this corkscrew for about 10 years. This is by far the best corkscrew I've ever used. Forget the fancy butterfly models with fancy cases, this works better. There are no levers to pull on this thing and it's nearly impossible to "screw" up the cork. Here's my instructions for it: Put it on the bottle, push down gently while turning the screw top. That's it. This is the only corkscrew that I know of that can be used by a less-than-strong female with a history of breaking corks (who's shall go unnamed, but she knows who she is). If you hate corkscrews because you aren't strong or just seem to lack coordination, try this one. Customer Rating:  Summary: Easy to use Comment: I am enjoying my Screwpull wine cork opener. The only problem I have had is that it takes a little while for the end of the pointed coil to penetrate the harder plastic corks. Once the point is through the removal of the cork is effortless. Customer Rating: Summary: It Works Comment: Simple, effortless, foolproof. However, there are a few details that aren't obvious from the listing. The screw part and the outer "frame" part are not connected, they just slide together. It's not a big deal, but tossing the Screwpull into a drawer may mean you have to fish around for two components before you can get your cork pulled. Also, the product feels a bit flimsy and cheap. The screw is teflon-coated, sharp, and stiff, but the housing is plastic, so thin it flexes. I keep mine in the original display clamshell, because I fear it would get broken if left out. Still, like the title says, it works perfectly. Just set it in place and turn the handle. Easiest corkscrew I've ever used. More Reviews This is the one that developed a loyal, one might even say cult following, soon after its debut. Say good-bye to yanking, tugging, wiggling, and prying forever! 
Choosing Appliance -> Cutting boards There seems to be little difference between hard wood and plastic cutting boards from a safety standpoint, as long as they are properly washed and sanitized after each use. Personally, I like the feel of solid wood. One piece of advice--buy large cutting boards. Don't bother with these tiny boards that everyone seems to have in his or her kitchen. They are not user friendly. Once you get down to serious cutting or chopping, the small boards are always woefully inadequate and downright maddening! Choosing Appliance -> Whip / Whisk Many still consider a whip as a "gourmet" piece of kitchen equipment. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is as essential as a kitchen stove and should be in everyone's kitchen. Nothing works better for mixing a multitude of different preparations or for making sauces or gravy. Buy a solid stainless steel whip with moderately stiff wires. Very thin wires are for mixing delicate things like egg whites or whipped cream. Very thick, solid wires are for mixing stiff dough.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Stainless Steel Maintenance Wipe away any acid spills such as from vinegar or grapefruit straight away. Never clean the bowl or draining board with an abrasive cleaner. Instead use liquid detergent in warm water and wipe with a soft cloth to remove water drop marks. Care for stainless steel appliance fascias and cabinet fronts in the same way. If choosing stainless steel cabinets, a 'brushed' surface is less likely to show grease from finger marks. |
