Customer Reviews of Calphalon Nylon Slotted Turner
Customer Rating:  Summary: great!!!!!!!!!! Comment: the nylon slotted turner is great. I use everyday & it still looks like new. There is no melting & cracking on the edges. It is what I expected from calphalon. Customer Rating:  Summary: It does melt Comment: This does melt from the heat when using it. I like it but it will not hold up with use. The part where it touches the heat looks like it is curling up but I suspect it is just melting away. Very nice looking but not as heat resistant as they claim. Customer Rating: Summary: Tools For Chef Comment: I would have like to known the length of the spatula before purchase. I think it works well with any cooking. It is a great utensil for anybody new to cooking. Customer Rating: Summary: Decent but lacking Comment: We received a variety of these Calphalon nylon utensils (including this slotted turner) as a gift almost a year ago. They are defintiely heat resistant, but they have not proven to be very durable in other regards. I am already looking to replace them and won't be buying this "model" again for a couple of reasons: First, the edges have "flaked". I am not sure how else to describe it, they aren't exactly cracked but layers of the material have peeled away and this caused little bits of the utensil to break free and add unwanted "seasoning" to my dishes. Second, they bend fairly easily- not too bad, but enough to be annoying. The silicon grip peeled up at the stress point within weeks. It appears that the grip just isn't mounted well and comes apart a little more with each use. Third, though they claim to be dishwasher safe, one pass through the washer left them with what look like bleach stains. Overall I am not completely dissatisfied, after all they do the job (albeit with mediocre performance). I don't feel like the purchase price of these would be a waste by any means, they certainly perform better than cheapo plastic utensils. However, I have used better and would recommend considering an alternative. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect flipper Comment: This is a great spatula.... perfect for eggs, fish, pancakes... you name it! Thinking of buying several and giving them as Christmas gifts.

Choosing Appliance -> Hobs If you enjoy eastern cuisine, you can buy a speciality hob with a wok burner. Similarly if you are a BBQ fan, choose a BBQ grill. If you are left handed, go for front rather than right hand side controls as this eliminates the risk of reaching across the heat. If you cook for a large family, more than four rings may be useful, and if you have young children it may be worth considering paying a little extra for a hob guard or in the case of gas, choosing an automatic re-ignition or cut off device should the flame blow out. 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.

Kitchen tips -> Sharpening Knife A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one, because you apply to it more pressure and force to cut through foods. It can easily slip out of place as you use it and you can harm yourself. Keep your knives in good working condition by sharpening according to their use and time. There's no specified amount of time, because knives vary as much as their use; although, you can easily determine if they need sharpening by the way they cut/slice foods. If a knife can slice through a tomato and tear the skin, then it needs sharpening. If, on the other hand, the cut is clean and quick without any tears, then it needs not be sharpened. |
