Customer Reviews of WMF Manhattan Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker with Built-In Strainer
Customer Rating:   Summary: martini shakers are not all the same Comment: Stainless steel! It should be good not to rust. However this one did. When 'brushed' thin plate low grade stainless is used it will always rust. This shaker had the potential to be great, then they used the cheaper metal and in three days it was showing rust at the screen area. Save your money on this one and demand higher quality products from WMF. This one is not recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: I Had To Have Two Comment: It's perfect. Absolutely no leaks and it's never difficult to open. I've been diligently pursuing the perfect margarita with the aid of my new WMF cocktail shaker. I am so pleased with its performance I had to have another to increase my margarita making efficiency. No matter how many variations on perfection I create, this shaker has not let me down. It's truly a thing of beauty... Here's looking up your old address!!! Customer Rating: Summary: perfect Comment: my husband and i reviewed many of the shakers out there, this is a great one, he loves it and has not had any complaints, no leaks not hard to remove the top. perfect for the home bar tender Customer Rating: Summary: Can't wait to use it! Comment: I wasn't at all familiar with the WMF brand, but I was in the market for a cocktail shaker. This one came along at the right time and I was able to purchase it at half price because of a tear in the box! The shaker is made of 18/10 stainless steel and seems very well made with a built in jigger and strainer. A fine instrument for making martinis. I have always liked the products made in Germany, and this one reinforces my belief in German engineering, and for half price it was a bargain. I'll take a torn box anytime to save half. Thanks Amazon Customer Rating: Summary: Let's do some math... Comment: I ordered this shaker with the greatest anticipation -- how nice to have a large shaker, with pleasant style, and a built-in strainer to boot. Three broken (and costly) martini glasses later (the last of which occurred 3 minutes ago), I've tossed it into the trash. It's interesting that others have said the fittings were too tight. I might agree that the cap is too tight, but the connection of the top and the base is way too loose, setting up knee-slappingly funny moments where the shaker's top comes off mid-pour, not only shattering said glass into at least 3 dozen pieces of varying sizes, but also setting free the Quite Expensive Liquors, loads of ice, and the shaker's top and cap, which distribute themselves all over Creation. (Several choice words were broadcast all over Creation each time as well.) Sure, one should hold tight to the top, grasping it with all one's might, to ensure such an unfortunate scene isn't played out. But, hey, the thing's cold, my martini glass is thirsty, and after combining ingredients, preparing the glass, and shaking the cocktail with gusto, that final moment of pouring -- simply, POURING -- shouldn't involve so much compensating for the poor engineering. Maybe it's TOO large. Maybe it's TOO heavy. These seemed like good attributes at first, but I think it's time for a smaller, lighter shaker, or two glasses of different sizes to act as one. Beware this heavy-duty Big Boy -- it's eyeing your finest glassware and silently plotting! More Reviews Tall, smooth, and handsome, this cocktail shaker features a brushed finish and lean, modern styling. 
Choosing Appliance -> Sinks Consider which accessories might be beneficial. Many models can be supplied with a draining basket, chopping board and strainer bowls. A drainer extension can be useful for sinks without a drainer where worktop space is limited in a small kitchen. Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking. WMF Manhattan Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker with Built-In Strainer
