Stainless Steel Herb Scissors By X-Chef Review

If you love to cook, then the Herb Scissors from X-Chef is of great help in the kitchen but, if you love veggies and salads, then this product is a must have in the kitchen. Ever since I became a little bit health conscious, I try to eat and serve as much veggies, green salads or use herbs when cooking. Before the X-Chef scissors, I just use an ordinary knife to make my salad so that's why I was so excited to try this product.

I received the scissors neatly packed in a box. It came with a protective plate cover and a service zone manual. Just be careful when sliding the scissors in the case.

 The scissors have 5 blades included. I like this specific design because it cuts and saves time cutting leafy veggies and herbs.

Sometimes, 1 of the outer blade doesn't go in the case and it can hurt your fingers. So be sure that all 5 blades are in before pushing the scissors inward. The culinary scissors are made from food-grade stainless steel so they're always safe to use with veggies/herbs and heavy-duty steel rivets that hold scissor blades together securely so they always perform consistently. The handle looks durable and has a non slip grip for easy and fast cutting. It has 5 sharp blades that make it easy to cut large quantity efficiently. Now I can cut and produce chopped herbs directly as I put it in my dish or plate. I can cut, chop, mince, trim, snip, and shear my salad with just the X-Chef scissors. It makes preparing the salad specially for parties more convenient and less straining. I definitely love this in my kitchen.

ROHA Set Of Stainless Steel Measuring Spoon Review

 Before, I used to use plastic measuring spoons and the problem was, the measurements would start to fade after a few washes, specially if I accidentally scrub it a bit hard. When I received the Roha stainless steel measuring spoons, I looked forward to trying it and compare it to my current measuring spoons.

The Roha measuring spoons are made of stainless steel and came in a set of 4 different measuring spoons which are: 1/4 tsp., 1/2 tsp., 1 tsp. and 1 tbsp. These also came with a key ring to hold the measuring spoons together as well as make it easy to hang these.

 What I love about these is that the measurements are engraved on the handle of the spoons. That means, I wouldn't have to worry about the measurements fading over time. Each tsp. measurement also has an engraved ml. equivalent below it.

These measuring spoons are thin and lightweight making them easy to use and hold. The handles are long enough so that I can easily hold it properly. Since they are thin, I can bend them easily but I can also easily straighten them out. They don't break even if I bend them a bit so they are durable.

The Roha Measuring Spoons are simple yet they work as they should. They're easy to use, have smooth edges and easy to clean as well.

Kitchen Classique Salt and Pepper Mill Set Review

I used to buy ground pepper and other ground spices but after trying out grind whole spices, like black pepper fresh, I didn't go back to the prepacked ground spices. Why? I noticed a difference in taste and freshness when I grind my spices when I use them.

The Kitchen Classique Salt and Pepper Mill Set is very handy because it's reusable and holds about 3/4 cups of spices. It came in a set of 2 and each set comes with a glass bottle and a stainless steel cover. The grinder is kept clean by the removable stainless steel on top. I also like how I can adjust the fineness or coarseness of the grind by turning the black knob inside either clockwise or counterclockwise.

The glass bottle has a wide mouth opening so refilling is easy. I like how I can buy the whole spices in plastic packaging because they are cheaper compared to the bottled ones.

Turning the mill is easy and doesn't require much effort. I combined different whole spices to make my own blend of steak/chicken spice.

By adjusting the knob inside, I was able to choose my desired grind size and in a few seconds, I was able to freshly grind my own steak/chicken spice.

The Kitchen Classique Salt and Pepper Mill Set is very easy to use and I like how I don't need much effort on my wrist to grind the spices. Each bottle holds approximately 3/4 cups of spices and this is a lot. I also like how I can easily see the amount of spice left inside the bottle so that I can estimate if I have to refill it. I also like that I can just refill it with a new spice because it's reusable.

This works as it should and I like how I can have freshly ground spice every time.

I've tried quite a few handheld vegetable spiralizer before and I like using it to make my zucchini salad. Since I only make it for myself and hubby, it's okay since I don't really take that much time. When making bigger batches, that's when the problem sinks in because it would take me a while to make more. When I received the Kuuk 3 in 1 Vegetable Spiralizer, I was quite excited to try it because it looks much easier to use to make big batches of spiralized vegetables. Here is a quick product description from the company:

There are 3 different cartridges with blades included in this set which can slice 3 different cuts. The shredder blade is used for spaghetti-like spiral strands, the chipper blade is used for thicker spiral strands and the Straight blade for long, ribbon-like strands.

 The sliced vegetable goes out through the other side of the spiralizer.

The lever is easy to turn although I do need a little effort to turn it. The vegetable also slides closer to the blade as it gets cut because of the sliding platform of the vegetable holder. Cleaning the Kuuk 3 in 1 Vegetable Spiralizer is easier than it looks because the blades are detachable. For the base, there's always some pieces getting stuck on the sides of the blade cartridge holder but it's not hard to remove.

The only thing I would comment is that this is bulky and takes up a lot of space. Aside from that, this is a very helpful and easy tool to make spiral vegetables in seconds.

Elacra 2in1 Salt And Pepper Grinder Set Review

I've never tried a salt and pepper grinder set before. I've always bought ground pepper in stores before but I've read somewhere that grinding whole pepper produces more flavor compared to using a prepacked ground one. When I received the Elacra 2 in 1 Salt and Pepper Grinder Set, I was super excited to try it and see if what I read is true.

The Elacra 2 in 1 Salt and Pepper Grinder Set arrived in a simple box. Here is a quick product description from the company:

There are 2 separate grinders for the 2 compartments and each grinder can be adjusted depending on how coarse or how fine I want the spice to be. For now, I placed whole pepper corns on one side and sea salt on the other side of the Elacra grinder set.

The Elacra 2 in 1 Salt and Pepper Grinder Set has a lid to keep the grinder inside covered. To have a coarser grind, I turn the black knob counter clockwise and for a finer grind, I turn it in a clockwise direction.

The Elacra 2 in 1 Salt and Pepper Grinder Set is very easy to use. I don't have to use much effort or force to twist the grinder. I also like that in seconds, I can have freshly ground pepper.

Using freshly ground pepper really does make a difference in flavor. I use less freshly ground pepper when I'm cooking compared to when I used the prepacked ground pepper.

I like that this can hold 2 different spices because it saves me space. It's easy to use and easy to clean as well. I also like that it can effectively grind whole pepper and sea salt and that I can adjust the fineness or coarseness of the grind.

Large Digit Timer/Stopwatch From Epica Review

When I'm cooking, I always use a timer with an alarm so that I'll be reminded that I'm cooking something. I usually multi-task when I cook, i.e. leave the food while cooking while clean around the house, so sometimes, I forget that I'm cooking something. So, I always set a timer with an alarm to help me remember the food I'm cooking/baking/broiling.

I already use a timer but I like trying out new ones so that I can be able to compare different timers. When I received the Epica large digit timer/stopwatch, I looked forward to trying it.

The Epica Large Digit Timer/Stopwatch came in a simple box. It requires a 1 x AAA battery to work which is already included in the box.

This timer/stopwatch can be mounted either by pulling the kickstand down or by using the magnet at the back of the stopwatch to mount it on our refrigerator, or any other magnetic metal.

The display measures 1.5" x 2.5" which makes the display easy to use even from afar. There are only 3 buttons in the timer which makes this easy to use. The Start/Stop button can either start the timer/stopwatch or stop it.

The timer can be set by pressing the min or sec button and can be reset by pressing both buttons at the same time. When the timer reaches 00:00, it produces a beeping, alarm sound which continues for a full minute if the stop button isn't pressed. The alarm/beeping sound stops after the first minute but the timer will still continue to work if the stop button isn't pressed.

The stopwatch can be used by pressing the start button when the Epica timer/stopwatch isn't set. The stopwatch can be paused by pressing the start/stop button and can be resumed by pressing that button again. To reset it, the min and sec button should be pressed at the same time.

This is a nice stopwatch/timer which is helpful when I'm cooking. I am nearsighted so the very large display is nice for me because I can still see this from a distance.

Ecaloo Stainless Steel Food Grater Review

When I cook dishes with ginger, I often grate the ginger to bring out its flavor and juice. The ginger gives a nice, a bit spicy flavor to fish and chicken and at the same time, it helps remove some of the fishy taste of fish. When I received the Stainless Steel Grater from Ecaloo, I was super excited to try it. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Made of polished stainless steel, durable and exquisite. It has full steel construction with a smooth nicely curved back and a roughened front which you use to grate garlic and ginger and more. The steel is pretty solid which does not get bent by applying pressure.

Make food for baby who has no teeth. It can also help mashing infant food before the baby is able to chew.
         
Collecting device design. It has a groove around the working surface for gathering up the gratings and collecting the juice of the spices.

Easy to clean, dishwasher safe. It is very easy to be cleaned. The juice can be washed away in a few seconds by just a flush of water.

The Ecaloo Stainless Steel Food Grater has small blades compared to a regular grater.

This is also different because there are no holes on the other side of this grater. I made a short video review to show you how I used it as well as how the grated food looks like. You can watch the video below.

I love how sharp the blades of the Ecaloo Stainless Steel Food Grater is. I don't need to put in much effort when I grated the ginger. I also like how this grates ginger, as well as other fruits and vegetables, into a finer texture. The blades are in a raised platform so the groove collects the grated fruit/vegetable effectively as well as their juice.

I also noticed how easier this is to clean compared to a regular grater. Since there are no holes, the small pieces of ginger doesn't go through the blades. I can just place this under running water and the remnants of grated fruits and vegetables would easily wash off.

This is a simple and very useful food grater and I like that it produces finer grated fruits and vegetables. It's lightweight and easy to store. I just wish this has a cover so that the blades aren't exposed. The small blades are sharp and a bit raised so this can easily cause skin scrapes compared to a regular grater.

Stainless Steel Pizza Wheel Cutter From Kitchen Monster Review

Having a sharp pizza cutter is helpful for me since my daughters love pizza. Before, I used to use a knife to slice our pizza but after using a pizza cutter, it was indeed made for that reason. Yes a knife can be used to slice pizza but a pizza cutter makes it so much easier to slice pizza.

Recently, I received the Stainless Steel Pizza Wheel Cutter from Kitchen Monster. Here is a quick product description from the company:

Our newly improved pizza cutter is now 4 times stronger (as of June 18th, 2015) than our previous model. This was requested by our customers so we reinforced the connection from the handle to the cutter wheel.

The benefits to our cutter is:

1. It's super comfortable grip feels like a natural extension of your hand. It works well for those with arthritis, small hands and large alike.
2. It has a sharp stainless steel pizza blade with a finger guard for added safety. It cuts through pizza easily the first time. Our customer also use it as a cutter for dough, cookies, pastries and even reports of pancakes!
3. It's built to last espcially with the new 4X strength improvement.
4. It's dishwasher safe.
5. It's fun to use.
6. We back our product with a 100% satisifaction guarantee.

The Pizza Wheel Cutter from Kitchen Monster has a stainless steel blade and a handle which has a rubber-like feel. The rubber feel of the handle makes it easier to grip and hold the pizza cutter. It also helps prevent any accidental slips when I'm using it.

The pizza cutter can be hung because of the heart shaped hole at the bottom of the handle.

There is a plastic thumb guard which helps me slice pizza easier as well as protect my thumb from the blade.

The Kitchen Monster Stainless Steel Pizza Wheel Cutter makes it easy and almost effortless for me to slice pizza. The blade is also sharp so I don't have to roll the pizza cutter over and over again to slice the pizza. This is also easy to clean. I wash this by putting a little bit of soap and then using a sponge to lightly scrub it. Cheese doesn't stick to the pizza cutter so it makes washing this much easier.

This is an effective pizza cutter which works as it should.
