Question: What are some characteristics of this product?

I ordered this and the 6" chef as as well as 5 other brands, I thought I might try them and buy the set. They are Good, solid, cast or forged, not likely stamped as the tang/shoulder/blade are one piece around 1/2" thick at its thickest part. the rubber handle may someday cause a food/water trap if washed in the dishwasher though hasn't yet, it is slightly stretchy. I've been using the dishwasher with electrasol all in 1 gel packs, no rust or stains using the heated dry cycle. this and the chef needed a touch up on the sharpener to get them to a fine edge, but it didn't take much and made a world of difference, the edge they come with is OK, but thats probably as much to do with shipping as not. I would say for the money your spending, it'd be hard to beat. I have big hands and the grips are comfortable. my wifes hands are medium and she liked them as well.

Question: How much does a cheap Harbor Freight sharpener cost?

I own a Wusthof 7-Piece knife block set and I've tried other sharpeners, which did a fair job, but decided to spend the money for a Wusthof sharpener because I thought that it was made for sharpening Wusthof knives.I was wrong. This sharpener actually removed the sharp edge off of two knives that had been sharpened with $3.00 Harbor Freight sharpener that looks like this one, but only has a single ceramic sharpener . The V-shaped cutting heads on both the carbide blades and the ceramic side of the Wusthof sharpener that I received from Amazon are set at the wrong angle for the Wusthof knives.I first tried an old, unused knife to test the product and it turned out "fair", but then I sharpened that same old knife in my cheapo Harbor Freight model and achieved a better, cleaner and sharper edge. But, not willing to leave well enough alone, I just had to try my new Wusthof sharpener on one of my Wusthof knives.This Wusthof sharpener made it duller, just the same as it did with the old knife.Thinking that I could salvage part of my investment, I then tried to sharpen two pairs of scissors. They turned out to be a bit better than doing nothing, but scissors are not the reason I bought this knife sharpening tool.

Question: What kind of similar design was the MIU France Ceramic Nakiri Knife described as having?

When this MIU France Ceramic Nakiri Knife first arrived I was impressed that it appeared to be well made and substantially heavier than my Kyocera ceramic knives. However, when I went to slice an onion with it I found that the blade was too thick to do so. This item is shaped like a cleaver and thick like a cleaver. it is about 2-3 times fatter than my Kyocera ceramic knives (black series). It is too thick to slice an onion the way I usually do. However, it is very good for slicing when you want it to separate or for dicing any time. For example, this ceramic cleaver knife is great for slicing carrots or cauliflower or green onion. It is perfect for cutting produce that I wonder if my thinner Kyocera ceramic knife will endure without chipping or breaking. There are no bolts or wood like in the Kyocera so this product should last longer in the handle area. I would purchase this again.

Question: What kinds of floors does it work for

This vacuum cleaner is good, solid value. I've owned many units in this same price point, and this may be the best so far. It has strong suction and brush action. It's well-constructed, compact, and easy to assemble. It has a dial to adjust to various surfaces and works well on all carpet thicknesses as well as bare floors. Accessory attachments include a turbo brush and upholstery brush and extension tube, which all fit neatly on the back of the unit for storage. Not industrial strength and no deluxe bells and whistles, but definitely gets the job done for basic home use.

Question: What is the name of the product?

So far so good. The Lift and Lock Pole Caddy took less than 2 minutes to be installed in our shower. One simply screws the needed pole pieces together, unlocks the bottom locking mechanism, slides the bottom pole up to the ceiling (you will hear clicks as its ratcheting mechanism locks on the way up). When it is firm against the ceiling and shower pan, then you press the locking mechanism down and you're done. Adding the trays is a snap. Just place them where you want and press down till you hear a click.So far we have some heavy shampoo and conditioner bottles on their own trays, razors, body wash, loofahs, etc on the trays and everything is just fine. Of course I wouldn't put overly heavy items on the trays, but they are sturdy. It also comes with a spare rubber piece that goes against the ceiling (that I nearly threw out as it was attached to some packaging inside the box with a bit of tape.)Some trays have large holes to place the bottle lids through when you need to turn your shampoo, conditioner, etc upside down and still keep them on the unit.Overall, it is a nice looking, solid unit that does exactly what it says and takes just a couple of minutes to set up. Ours is brushed nickel and it matches perfectly with the other brushed nickel pieces in the bathroom.I will update the review if the unit rusts, doesn't hold up, or has any other issues, but for now it is a very nice solution that takes up little space in the shower and I don't have to live with the rack that hangs from the shower head pipe that I don't care for.

Question: How much does the requesters food processor cost?

For a <$50 food processor this product is great! The suction cup feet are a bit odd but really thoughtful addition - almost acts like a third hand to keep the machine from walking on the counter while running. The shredding/slicing disk is a nice addition and helps make the food processor a little more handy! Has handled veggies, chicken, and making pesto with ease and dishwasher safe for easier cleanup.

Question: What did the author purchase a variety of in numerous sizes?

In a previous review I stated that I was new to baking and decided to buy a decorating kit.When I started buying different size tips, I found that I couldn't get one coupler to fit the larger tips, so it turned out to be a real challenge to find the right couplers.I later found out that some people don't even use couplers, they just drop the tip into the bag, but I really didn't want to go that route.This coupler set covers anything in the intermediate range.I have one extra large for a tip that I rarely use, a set of couplers for the small tips, and these couplers, which fit all the mid size tips.All bases are covered, they do a great job.

Question: When was this coffeemaker purchased?

I purchased this after my daughter moved out. She likes K-cups, I like my own decaf brands of coffee. This way we can have both, kind of.It is very slow heating - takes four minutes for a cup of coffee. Not a problem, unless you want to brew two cups - with the two minute recommended wait, it takes ten minutes. So count this as strictly a single cup coffeemaker.I like the choice better than the Keurig - because you fill this with exactly the amount you have in your cup! No overflows, no problems. Pour it in, everything comes out.It has a nice small footprint and is perfect for me. But if all you want is a single cup, there are a lot out there that are cheaper and that will provide a single cup much faster. Only get this one if you need the extra features.

Question: Is the Primula a fast or slow brewing system?

I have a Keurig for every day and am growing fond of it, but sometimes, I just need the satisfaction of something slower, more relaxing, more hands-on. This Primula coffee press is perfect for a leisurely weekend morning when I want to kick back with the paper and a croissant and feel like I'm in a cafe somewhere peaceful. If you've never used a French press, you might want to give it a try. It's easy to use and produces a lovely cup of coffee. Although it purports to make six cups, in fact, it makes about a large mug and a half - just enough. Yes, it takes a minute to dump the grounds and clean the pot. It's more than worth it.

Question: What did this person buy?

This is the perfect processor if you're like me and only occasionally need to bring it out. It may not be able to turn your kale into perfectly smooth kale cream, but it is quick and efficient for soups and other mixes you may sometimes need to process. I've even been known to take it out to make my (no ice) green smoothie, because it works better than my blender. Great for its price point, highly recommended.

Question: What did their mother use in the kitchen?

Every since I was a little kid, I can always remember seeing and hearing my mother using an Oster to make incredible things to drink and for other uses in the kitchen.

This blender deals with ice in an incredible way, Perfection!The beautiful cookbook that comes with it makes me daydream about some of the tasty sounding recipes and I'm hoping to try some of them out, but first... another tasty beverage made in this powerful blender is in my near future.This is hands down, the BEST blender I've ever had and the 7 year warranty lets me know that Oster will stand behind this powerful blender for years to come.Amazing!

Question: What brand of scale is this?

I am pleased with the Omron scale. It seems accurate compared to our other scale and has a sleek simple design. I like that I just need to step on it to get a reading. We have another "fancier" scale that does BMI readings and so forth (can make you feel depressed on many more levels) and you have to press buttons to identify which user you are. That can be annoying at 4:00 AM. So the basic design is refreshing. One issue with this scale, as with others we have tried, is that moving the scale to different areas on our bathroom floor causes the weight to change. This may be an issue with our floor (there is definitely a fat zone, where no scale is placed), but I am not sure.Overall, this is a nice scale and well worth the price.

Question: How much did this product cost?

I was really excited to use this set, but after having it I find myself really only using the larger insulated bag. Otherwise when grocery shopping I tend to like the recycled bags sold at my grocery store because they hold more, and since they are square based they fit much better into the back end of my vehicle.There are a few things that I feel could be improved upon:* The price. I don't think being green necessarily has to equate to spending lots of money and at $50 I think that is expensive for what I have ended up utilizing this set for.* The durability. I have questions about how durable this set will be over the long haul. Being made out of plastic I don't know that the seems will actually hold the 70 lbs it says it will. One reviewer has had the zipper break. This is not my experience, but I do wonder how long it will last.What I did like:* I loved the idea and the purpose behind the company and the products that they make. It's fun and environmentally friendly and I love that they have tags on the inside of the items telling you how many plastic bags you save, or were used to manufacture the item saving them from the landfill.Overall it's a good idea, but maybe not fully realized it's potential, and a bit pricey in my opinion.

I have questions about how durable this set will be over the long haul. Being made out of plastic I don't know that the seems will actually hold the 70 lbs it says it will.

What I did like :* I loved the idea and the purpose behind the company and the products that they make. It's fun and environmentally friendly and I love that they have tags on the inside of the items telling you how many plastic bags you save, or were used to manufacture the item saving them from the landfill. Overall it's a good idea, but maybe not fully realized it's potential, and a bit pricey in my opinion.

Question: What is the reviewer's favorite coffee maker?

I'm like one of the other reviewers. I've owned the 3 cup, 6 cup, and when my husband constantly asked me to make another cup for him in the morning, I decided to buy the 12 cup so that I could save myself a few minutes.Well it didn't work out that way. The first couple of times it worked well and I was excited. But then it was a crap shoot.Sometimes it would brew the coffee, while other times it would not. Now it just won't push the steam through at all. After wasting pound of coffee on testing various ways and or amounts by which I could get a more consistent result, I have given it up. Not worth the head ache. I've gone back to using my trusty old 6 cup espresso maker.

Question: does the grill come with instructions?

I know a lot of people are comparing this to another, higher end product. But I am going to try and compare it to what most people have: a trust George Foreman Grill. My family has been using the Foreman for 10 years and I never thought I would get rid of it. Guess what went in the trash last week?I love the Big Boss grill more than I ever loved my Foreman and here is why:The plates: These easily go into my dish washer, no problem. And they come clean! On the Foreman it was always a struggle to find room and you basically had to scrub them clean before washing them.Folding open: The Foreman was great for steaks and chicken. This is great for a whole lot more! Anything you could make on the Foreman, you can make on the Big Boss. You can also throw out your dedicated griddle: just fold open the Big Boss and pancakes are just a couple of flips away.Cleaning: The Foreman was a mess. You could not get to the nooks and crannies just due to the way it was put together. The Big Boss folds open easily to get at those spots you were scared to look at on the Foreman.So why 4 stars and not 5? No instruction manual, and no waffle plate. The box said it could make waffles...how you can do that with no waffle plate is beyond me.Overall: a great product that I plan to use for several years!

Question: What is the quality of the workmanship?

The pros to this tp holder are what others have said - quality finish, looks great. I'm returning it because the arm that holds the roller is very crooked, as one reviewer noted, and I know that will bug me - every time I'd look at it I'd see that crooked arm. It's disappointing to get something that appears to be of quality materials, but the workmanship is poor. All the confusion over what bracket to purchase was frustrating, as well. I tried to find a bracket locally without success. Everyone wondered why the correct mounting bracket just didn't come with the tp holder when I ordered it. Good question. Anyway, I'm returning this one. I found one at PlumberSurplus.com and they sell the correct bracket with it ... and free shipping.

Question: What Material are the removable parts?

We have owned our Acme since approximately 1978, give or take a year or two. I can't compare it to anything else because we haven't used another machine since purchasing it. Moderately noisy and a hassle to clean, but it is an incredibly reliable workhorse that just keeps on going. Built like a tank. With the same design as the one shown here, our old model has all stainless removable parts over the white enamel motor housing. While the fact that it does not automatically eject pulp is a minus on the one hand, on the other hand, the Acme extracts up to 20% more juice according to independent reviews.

Question: What type of wine does the user recommend?

The benefits are easy to see and enjoyable to determine. Pop the cork on your favorite Merlot. Pour some right into a glass and some through this aerator (and ideally into a second glass).For me, immediately after pouring the wine which had been aerated tasted much better. After both glasses had been sitting for about 30 minutes, the "unareated" wine tasted about like the aerated wine when it was just poured. The aerated wine tasted even better.Unlink other aerators I've tried fit in the bottle's neck. This one remains separate. You hold it in one hand and pour the wine through it with the other. While the method requires an extra hand, it also gives the wine more opportunity to breathe as it falls from the bottle into the aerator.The aerator was sent so I could provide this fair and honest review.

Question: What does the writer suggest?

Got this for my mom because she is superstitious and likes to have as much luck when it comes to everything. So I saw this online by accident and thought that I should give it to her as a gift. Looks really cool on the marble counter at their house and does a very good job holding the butter. The only thing I would suggest would be to put something on the bottom to make sure it doesn't get knocked off the counter by accident because the bottom is a little slippery and it could chip. So we went to the store and got some white bath tub strips and put them on the bottom of the plate to make sure that it doesn't fall of the counter. We chose that instead of felt because when you wash the dish, you really cannot wash felt without replacement. So next i would suggest (we didn't do it yet though) is to put a strip of that same bathtub anti slip strips along the edge of the Buddah lid because both the lid and the plate can chip if you are not careful.Overall, it looks great and does a great job holding all sizes of butter.

Question: How does this work?

I have struggled with a cheap rotary cutter for years. It never gets through the crust very well and the cheese gets stuck on the blade too.This is a great solution to horrible rotary cutters. It is long enough to cut through a small pizza without repositioning but a larger pizza will need you to slice, and shift to get the whole thing cut across.It is very sharp and has a great curve to it that helps to rock it across the pizza. The top is wide enough to allow for a good grip but doesn't add a ton of weight.I really like using this so much better than the old fashioned, cheap rotary cutters.

Question: What word is used to describe their size?

They are a little small but thats why we chose them. We keep one in the shower to dry down the tiles after each shower and even though small they pull the water off the tiles just fine. We use a 2nd one to keep the moisture down/clean the inside of our casement windows. The small size is just right to pull down on each pane of the window and collect the condensation in a rag during the winter. The white color of the rubber blade doesn't leave any marks on our glass, tiles or grout like some of the black bladed ones have in the past. We keep the 3rd one as a backup. Great price.

Question: Where does the steam come from in this cleaner?

I have worked at a dry cleaners and have used the professional size steam press to press clothing and to steam block sweaters. The surface where the clothes lay on never gets too hot, unless the lower steamer is applied, which this produce does not have. I was surprised at the reviewer who expected the steamer to get too hot to handle?This smaller version of the dry-cleaners steam press works well. It saves time in pressing, but you need to know the techinques to position the shirts and pants so that you'll get nice creases. Steam comes from the upper lid of the presser. Steam does not come out from the pressing pad.In order to block sweaters, position the sweater so that it is flat and then lower the pressor lid to 'almost' touching the sweater and let the sweater steam a few seconds. You may want to spray a mist of water onto the sweater before steaming. Next, move sweater around and repeat until entire sweater has been steam blocked.

Question: What are the kids learning now?

Wow, cheap stuff, seems like it'll last a while though. Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless, even if it's not high quality. Went to see them the other day and even though someone else bought them some sort of "famous TV chef lends name to garbage cookware" stuff as well, they were using these. Stainless, even low quality stuff is great. I still use 20 year old superstore bought garbage stainless pots n pans from 15+ years ago with my high quality stuff. You don't need calphalon to heat chef boyardee or boil some rice. My kids are learning to cook now, just getting into the "OMG food doesn't only come from a can or from the freezer?" stage of their lives and this is prefect to learn on.

Question: What is the model of toaster oven owned for 3 years?

If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!! I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was. I read these reviews and I wonder why sometimes people submit a review without really knowing the product. This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. I've cooked chickens to perfection, blueberry pecan bread to die for, steaks rare to well done, toast that my very expensive Kitchen Aid toaster would be proud of and all of this in a little compact powerful machine. It's got its own brain so if yours isn't working quite right it will keep you on track, does not heat up your kitchen, is stainless steel and you get what you paid for. I've given 3 of these away and everyone loves this unit. Thanks Breville your are the best.

Question: What action can you take with the spirit to bring out its qualities?

This glass is perfectly designed to bring out all of the best of a great whiskey, scotch, or bourbon. I find it also useful for high quality spirits you wish to drink neet. The bowl is shaped to help designate about one ounce of spirit (while permitting enough area to assist in the opening of the bouquet of the spirit). The narrow mouth concentrates the aromas for you full enjoyment (especially if you have pre-chilled the spirit you are drinking). The shape of the stem and bowl are wonderful to assist in the warming by your hands and the swirl of the spirit to bring out the brands best qualities on your palette.

Question: What is it better at?

This robot is "Neato"! It does just what the description says. So much better than my old Roomba (with its hard to clean brush and its bumping hard into stuff).I do think the Neato is better at cleaning carpet than hard surface. If it is partly on and partly off a scatter rug, it doesn't clean great because of the slope.I thought it might get tangled in rug fringe, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.As others have said, it doesn't do great at edge cleaning, but neither does a big vacuum.If the Neato keeps working as well as it is right now, I'll be a happy camper.

If the Neato keeps working as well as it is right now, I'll be a happy camper.

Question: What is light weight and easy to maneuver?

I hate to clean and am a procrastinator so it took several months after receiving this steamer to finally use it. Now I wonder why the hell I took so long to use it. It is incredibly easy to use. Just fill the container with water, turn it on and glide it across the floor. It is very light weight and easy to maneuver. The first time I used it though I accidentally kept it in one spot for a little too long - now there's a white cast on the floor about 6 inches long. :(After cleaning, I rubbed a paper towel on the floor to see if it would come away clean... sadly, it was still slightly brown but the floors felt a lot cleaner. I tried it again after the second use and the floors seem cleaner than the 1st time.This is my first steamer so I can't compare it to others but I would definitely recommend it.

Question: How does the Vacu Vin compare to using a cork?

I have purchased three of these - one for me and two for friends. While nothing will keep an open bottle of wine forever, the Vacu Vin extends the life of the wine for up to a week. Instead of pouring bad wine down the drain I can now finish it! It has paid for itself many times over - if you live alone and enjoy a glass of wine with your dinner ( not an entire bottle) I encourage you to try the Vacu Vin. By removing the air from the bottle it preserves the taste and quality of your wine far better than replacing the cork.

Question: What is the only problem with the crok pot?

I've had this crock pot for several years now. The handle on the lid has broken off, but the crockpot itself still works like it did when it was brand new. The only problem with that is the that it cooks too hot. It seems to get hot spots sometimes, and almost always burns the top edges of my food. I have to stir it all the time even on low. Honestly, I have no idea why I haven't replaced this thing by now. That's actually why I am on Amazon now. Good Riddance Rival.

Question: What brand is the 14-slot?

I have two of these - one 7-slot and one 14-slot tray - and the two together fit perfectly in my kitchen drawer and hold all of my knives and honing steel. My 14-slot-tray is Wusthof, and the 7-slot is Victorinox. They are made very similarly, but the Victorinox seems to hold the knives a little better. My larger chef's and santoku knives fit better in the Victorinox, where in the Wusthof they seemed like they didn't "seat" well in the slots.Overall, this is very well made and is exactly as described. It seems to be high-quality wood, and looks very nice in the drawer. I've had several compliments on them already, and have only had them for a short time.If you're looking for a way to organize your knives in a drawer instead of a butcher block, then you don't have to look any further.Just be sure to check the dimensions to make sure it fits in your drawers! (both length, width, and height!)

Question: How long has the writer been using the lever mechanism break?

These worked fine for me at first. But the rubber seems to lose some of its filling power over time and doesn't make a tight seal, as I found out when the cork that was sealed slipped out of a red wine bottle on its side. If you buy these I suggest you test it on each use; grasp it by the rim and lift the bottle, making sure it doesn't slip out. When it slips out, its usefulness is over. Also I had the lever mechanism break on one of them. I have since bought a brand at Bed Bath and Beyond that has a much more solid feeling thick toggle in the center, and 1+ years with no problems.

Answer: 1+ years

Question: What does the product come with?

I need my water ice cold and the freezer at work is across the building. I fill this sucker up with ice and water in the morning, stick a straw in it, and the water is kept ice cold all day long. No more runing to the water cooler every time I need to fill up my glass. One time in the morning and this thing keeps me honest about the amount of water I'm drinking in a day! Took it camping once and it was nice to actually take the keg while I was swimming in the lake and the flip top prevented any splashes of lake water from getting into my drink.. plus the bottle opener! Sweet! I've tipped this thing over on my desk with the flip top sealed over the straw and only a couple drops came out, not a drop even hit my desk, only wet the sides of the lip a bit. I've also drank without a straw and the when tipped over to drink, the seal doesn't leak. Love this thing!

Question: What does the quesadilla maker seal?

I didnt realize when I bought this, but you can only use 10 inch tortillas with this. I can find them at the store easily, but keep this in mind if you decide to buy. Anything smaller is a disaster (especially if you are using cheese)When using 10 inch tortillas, this quesdilla maker seals the edges when you close and lock the lid, and makes little pocket triangles. The quesadillas are delicious! It took some practice getting the cheese amount right as if you use too much it will seep out the edges, but once you get it down you wont be able to put the quesadilla maker away! I love using it with leftover chicken or steak and throwing something together. I make breakfast quesadillas all the time too with salsa, cheese and egg. I cant get enough!Another thing to keep in mind with this, is the plates do not come off. It is very easy to clean as it's nonstick, but it doesnt come apart. I always clean right after using to avoid anything getting crusted on. No dishwasher for this quesadilla maker.

Question: Does it take long to get a weight?

When my wife and I got more serious about getting healthy, we knew we had to throw out our inaccurate and difficult-to-read scale.

Batteries are included, by the way.Using it is super easy - step on the scale. That's it. In just a second, you'll have your weight. And it's really easy to read.One of the bonus features of this scale is that it looks good. So many scales just look awful in your bathroom. This one looks pretty stylish.

Question: When the timer goes off and the toaster turns off what happens?

I bought this on a black-friday sale for $15 with free shipping. It was so cheap, I had doubts. Over a month or two by now, and it works just fine.It's a toaster. Personally, I don't think there is a difference in taste of toast coming from this toaster or a $100+ fancy toaster oven.HOWEVER: You do get what you pay for.Without having a lot of experiences with toaster ovens, it does seem to be less functional than the description and the controls state/imply.I only use it with the top knob on "TOAST" and the bottom dial as a timer.The other functions "BAKE" "BROIL" ... and "OFF" don't have any use to me.When the timer is done, it turns off automatically and has a loud 'ding' (a good thing) or you just turn the timer to off manually if you want to end it early.It does get HOT. But all/most Toaster Ovens probably do these days.Never heard of this brand, but it's a good/durable/functional decent low end budget toaster oven ... Which you should keep your eye on (or use a tracking program) to get a REALLY REALLY GOOD PRICE!OH YEAH ... If you make toast, then immediately make more toast, the internal thermostat will usually shut off the heating element for a portion of the toasting time (for safety) ... but then you have to add more time once it dings. Personally, I leave the oven door open if I am going to re-use it very soon so the internal temperature cools enough to prevent the thermostat from triggering. It works.

Question: What's a second nice thing about the product?

These are a great way to be creative with summer snacking. I like to puree up whatever sweet fruits are in season and make pops out of them. Watermelon pops are amazingly refreshing on a hot humid day.I also lile to use fresh fruit juice of any flavor, raspberry lime is a favorite. Clean up is a breeze which is awesome. And the nicest part is that I control what goes in. As a matter of fact...I can go all out, which I believe I will, and make some Margarita and Daquiri Pops, ice pops aren't just for kids you know :-)I am editing this on 06/24/13 to add:One of the nicer things about this freezer pop making set is, the lids. I know that doesn't sound like such a big deal, but I have the old fashioned Icepop kit, and while it is okay(when the pop comes out on the stick) you have to keep the whole thing in the freezer til they are all consumed or transfer everything to a freezer bag. Again, not really a big deal, but I am not a fan of there being extra steps and more work for me. These molds, once frozen, are self contained and can just be put in any space in your freezer. I love that convenience...plus no stick to worry about.

Question: What was the poster worried would get into food?

Don't believe the videos. The blade that holds the vegetable was too small and the vegetable kept slipping around and falling off while trying to turn it. Also, one of the tines was missing from one of the cutters and I was nervous about more of them coming off in my food. I really wanted this to work because I have another brand that spills veg juices on my counter while spiralizing. But I would rather clean up juices than worry about pieces of metal in my food or waste money on a gadget that doesn't work as advertised. I filed a claim with Amazon and got my money back.
