Customer Reviews of Mario Batali The Italian Kitchen Collection Pizza Wheel with Stainless Wheel
Customer Rating:  Summary: Graet pizza cutter Comment: This pizza cutter is well made and can really cut a pizza. If you are in the market for a well made pizza cutter, then this is the one you need. It is very nice to make one pass with this cutter and your ready for your slices of pizza to be served. The blade on this cutter is very sharp and beveled just right, so once you make a cut it slices right through and seperates the cut of pizza allowing you to pick it up eat it. No more having to work for your old pizza cutter to slice a pizza pie, because this pizza cutter means business and stylish on top of that..... Customer Rating: Summary: Slice and dice! Comment: The large diameter wheel cuts the pizza without pushing the toppings around. The small indentations are there to help stop it from dragging the toppings along with it. The handle is a grippy, comfortable to hold shape. Clean-up is a snap -- it rinses right off. I have four pizza cutters of various designs, and this is the one I always reach for. It works very well. Customer Rating:  Summary: A little too big and Already Rusting... Comment: This is the biggest and heaviest pizza wheel this guy has ever seen... it'll do a number on a pizza but it's really overkill unless you have a pizza shop... Most disappointing is that the rivet in the center of the pizza wheel is rusting after two weeks... maybe it's from being put in the dishwasher... I don't know, maybe that was in the instructions... but does anyone read instructions on pizza wheels? Customer Rating: Summary: A well-designed tool for the serious pizza lover! Comment: I've gone through three cutters and borrowed another one to try out in the last few months. The Zyliss palm-held model is ingeniously designed and so-so to use, but not really intuitive enough to use readily or well (and I've been a professional hand tool user in a variety of trades for the past 40 years). I tried out the KitchenAid model with the smaller blade and it was nice and heavy but unimpressive in use. I suppose the KitchenAid 4" model might have worked well, but it has some negative features I discovered during my research. The hanging hole is set perpendicular to the blade - not a good idea for hanging against a wall. The handle is metal and plastic and smooth (not conducive to maximum grip friction) and not shaped well for good torque control. The pistol grip is nice, but doesn't really add to the control of the operator. Lastly, the axle is a bolt and nut and apparently isn't completely stainless and eventually needs tightening because the locknut nylon is affected by machine-washing temps. I'm not surprised Mario Batali's stainless 4" pizza cutter was put out by Copco - I've had a coated, cast iron frying pan by Copco since the early 1970's and it's in exactly the same condition as when purchased - solid, beautiful, functional and a joy to use and own. This pizza cutter has the same attributes. It's really well designed ergonomically, esthetically and functionally. The axle is permanently riveted (no bolt and nut to eventually go loose or rust after machine washing) with what appears to be a single-piece axle/rivet, surrounded on either side with what appears to be neoprene washers. The wheel is riveted precisely enough that there is no slop whatsoever, yet the wheel rotates perfectly during use with no discernable friction. The oval handle, covered with the typical soft grip we see nowadays on contemporary tools, gives a great amount of control through grip friction and torque. The fit and finish of this tool is beautiful, with no discernable manufacturing flaws. In use, it cuts like gangbusters - one quick slice through and you're done. No need to back-and-forth to get the job done (and I bake thick-style pizza's). This thing is really heavy and substantial in the hand. Much, *much* better than anything I've used before. Obviously designed by someone who knows what they're doing. The price ($15 when I bought it) was ridiculously low, considering the workmanship and quality. I'd recommend this pizza cutter to anyone serious about their pizza. Thank you, Mario Batali (one of my favorite Food Network chefs)! Customer Rating: Summary: A real "pie" guillotine! Comment: This is the most impressive cutter I've EVER seen, and I've seen lots of them (mostly on their way into the trash because they wobble, or anger me in some other substantial way!) It's true, fast, sharp-edged, fits nicely in the the palm, and dishwasher too, with no tears - ITS tears, you understand. I would buy another one if 'small grays' carried this off in the night. Great price, great tool, fast service. Highly recommended. More Reviews Through his restaurants, cookbooks, products and television shows, Mario Batali breathes the spirit of the Old World into modern day America and shows us how to revel in the inherent joys of daily life.This Pizza Wheel has a soft grip handle with signature grommet. Large 4-in. 18/8 stainless steel wheel has scalloped detail that cuts easily through thin or thick crust pizza. This item is dishwasher safe. 
Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Washer When shopping for a new washer, look for a front loading (horizontal-axis) machine. This machine may cost more to buy but uses about a third of the energy and less water than a top-loading machine. With a front loader, you'll also save more on clothes drying, because they remove more water from your clothes during the spin cycle. Look for the Energy Star label. Choosing Appliance -> Stainless steel bowls These are the best all purpose bowls for a multitude of applications. Choose a wide range of sizes (be sure to get a large bowl for whipping egg whites and whipped cream). In general, the heavier the bowl, the higher quality.
