Customer Reviews of Kyocera Wide Julienne Slicer, Green
Customer Rating:  Summary: great tool Comment: I never had any problems with it. This julienne slicer cuts every fruit or vegetable perfectly. Love it. Customer Rating:  Summary: Moderately pleased Comment: I found this item difficult to use. Instructions would have helped condiserably. I tried to julienne a green apple for a slaw recipe and it only clumped up and would not separate easily. I had to finish cutting the apple for the recipe by hand. I can only hope other vegetables will be easier to maneuver. Clean up was fine. Customer Rating: Summary: works but not perfect Comment: I like this small julienne slicer which helps in producing fine julienne slices with less effort. However, I don't think the hand guard works well. Although I know the blade is ultra sharp, I have to slice vegetables with my bare hand carefully, and cut the remainder with knife if I don't want to be wasteful or hurt my hand. So far it is a good helper in the kitchen. Customer Rating: Summary: Simple and effective, but not perfect Comment: I have been using this product for a few years now. It is a very simple kitchen tool that does the job well enough in many situations. It julianne slices ginger, cucumber, carrot, and a lot of other things, especially for those that are used in bulk quantity or only for flavor. For example, when I make ginger-infused dry vermouth, I can use less ginger and still extract ginger flavor fully and quickly by julienne slicing ginger. If I'm slicing ginger by hand, I'd not bother julienne slicing and use more sliced ginger and infuse a bit longer. But this thing is handy in a situation like this. (Julienne sliced ginger is easy to remove by straining.) For salad and garnish, I would still slice them by hand. The cut surfaces do not look as pretty compared to the results I can get easily using a very sharp vegetable knife (which is generally true for a lot of cutting tools of this type). The advantage of this tool is speed and simplicity. Again, I would not use this thing to make garnish, unless I'm cooking for a large party. But then a better option is a professional quality mandoline with a proper blade. Among a few other good options for julienne slicing, I still rate it 4 stars because it is simple, easy to use, quick to wash and store away. Professional grade mandoline would require more work to set up and clean up. Hand cutting would require clean cutting board space. This tool requires not much more than two hands to work with. Customer Rating: Summary: wonderful company!! Comment: Wonderful company! The item arrived broken in the mail, they replaced it right away. Quick mail delivery! More Reviews This ultra sharp ceramic slicer will quickly julienne your fruits and veggies. It's lightweight, easy to use, and durable, as well as rust proof. Ceramic blades stay sharper longer than metal blades and will not alter the taste or smell of food. 
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. 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. Kyocera Wide Julienne Slicer, Green
