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.

Kuuk 3 in 1 Vegetable Spiralizer Review

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:

The vegetable holder is made of plastic and has sharp pointed plastics. Together with the sharp metal knob on the blade cartridge, the vegetable holder and the metal knob is effective in holding even bigger vegetables, like cabbage.

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.

Two of the blade cartridges can be stored on the side of the Kuuk Spiralizer when not in use.

The Kuuk 3in1 Vegetable Spiralizer makes it easier for me to make big batches of spiraled vegetables. Aside from that, I can also opt in to different spiraled vegetable thickness by using the appropriate blade. In seconds, I have a serving of my cucumber salad which is really nice.

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.

EZLid Silicone Lid And Food Cover Review

When we have leftovers, I place them on containers and store them inside the fridge so that we can eat it again for the next meal. We have food containers at home but the problem is, the lids are often missing. When I received the EZ-Lid, I looked forward to trying it because these can serve as lids for food containers. Here is a quick product description from the company:

EZ-Lids are reusable food-grade silicone lids that create an airtight seal. It's the  perfect way to store food or reheat food.

To use simply place the EZ-Lid food cover on a smooth surface container like ceramic or melamine and then push down. That's it.

Overall EZ-Lids are a great addition in the kitchen.

The EZ-Lid Silicone lid and food cover arrived in a simple plastic packaging. This came in a set of 2. The blue one measures 10.5 inches in diameter while the pink one measures 6 inches in diameter. One side of the EZ-Lid is smooth while the other one has a small handle.

The EZ-Lid Silicone Lid and food cover is perfect to use on our containers with missing lids. For containers like melamine or ceramic, the smooth side forms an air-tight seal when I push the lid down and lift it up using the small handle. I can even lift the container using the handle of the EZ-Lid with a small amount of food inside with no problems.

Aside from that, I also like how I can use this as a microwave cover. It works well to protect against splatters and splashes when I'm heating something in the microwave.

These lids are easy to clean as well because they have a non-stick feature. Since they're super thin, they're easy to store as well. This works as it should and I like that I can use them to cover left over foods.

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.

Hudson Cast Iron Stainless Steel Chainmail Scrubber Review

I used to buy the stainless steel pot scrubber sponge in the past for our pots and pans and I noticed that it crumbles easily and leaves shiny little specks of shiny things in our sink and pots. When I received the Hudson Cast Iron Stainless Steel Chainmail Cleaner, I can't help but notice how well made this is. My initial thought was that this is the last pot scrubber I'll need because it looks so durable.

Here is a quick product description from the company:

• Hudson XL chainmail scrubber is the ideal way to effectively and easily clean your cast iron cookware without stripping away accumulated flavor and seasoning
•  Handcrafted rings made from the highest grade 316L stainless steel- the highest food grade steel in the industry 
• Effortlessly cleans cast iron, stainless steel, glassware, pyrex, and other cookware
• Ultra hygienic and dishwasher safe
• Perfect for cast iron restoration

The Hudson Cast Iron Steel Chainmail Scrubber has super smooth exterior which is nice because it doesn't scratch our stainless steel pots and pans or my hands. It might have a smooth exterior and feel but it's effective in cleaning and removing particles stuck on our pots and pans. For heavily soiled pans, I just soak it first in soap and warm water for about an hour and then proceed to scrub it gently using the Hudson Cast Iron Scrubber.

I also love how this didn't start to disintegrate when I used it. I don't need to use as much force as when I used my previous pot scrubber. It's durable and easy to maintain as well. As of now, I don't see any signs of rust forming in it and I like how effective it is.

Vivree Set Of Two High Quality Silicone Tongs Review

When I was younger, I remember my grandmother and my mom using the all-stainless-steel kitchen tongs when they cook or grill. I remember they had to use mitts because they said the handle would get very hot specially during extended use over the flame. When I received the Vivree High Quality Silicone Tongs, I was super excited to try it because this is honestly the first time I'll try these types of tongs.

The Vivree High Quality Tongs came in 2 different sizes: a 9 inch silicone tongs and a 12 inch silicone tongs.

The handle is made out of stainless steel and has a silicone donut ring to lock the tongs as well as hang it for storage.

Both sides of the Vivree Silicone tongs has a silicone strip which makes it easy to grip and hold the tongs properly.

The shorter tongs for me is perfect to use when I'm cooking over the stove using a pan while the longer one is perfect for grilling.

I like using the Vivree Silicone Tongs when I'm frying because the silicone tip doesn't scratch our non-stick pan. It is easy to pick up and turn pork chops but a bit more hard to turn fried foods like spring rolls because they tend to be slippery.

I like that the handles doesn't get hot because the silicone tips doesn't absorb the heat so the heat doesn't transfer to the stainless steel handle. The stainless steel handle is durable and strong but is light.

These tongs are easy to clean as well and I like that they're easy to use and made cooking and grilling easier. These are also versatile because I can use them to serve salad, pasta and other food like cupcakes and fruits.

Silicone Gloves Set From BakeItFun Review

Protecting my hands from getting accidentally burned from hot pots, pans and trays is now easy for me because of silicone cooking gloves. Ever since I tried one, I never went back to the cloth mitts which are prone to liquid and heat seeping through the mitts. Recently, I was sent the BakeItFun Silicone Gloves Set and I was excited to try it. Aside from the pair of silicone gloves, this came with 2 silicone spatulas and a silicone basting brush.

Before I head on over to my review, here is a short product description from the company:

✔ PREMIUM PROTECTION FOR YOUR HANDS: Be safe and cover your hands to avoid burning accidents. Use for grilling, great for outside pig roast, barbecue meat, ribs, chicken, pork with gas, charcoal, propane, infrared, portable, flat top, hibachi, George foreman, Coleman tabletop grills and smokers at the campground or on your patio or gazebo wood fire pit or ring.
✔ EASY TO CLEAN: As with all BakeitFun Silicone Products, your silicone BBQ, oven, grill and cooking gloves are dishwasher safe and easy to clean. SAFE & NON-TOXIC: Protect your family with this FDA Approved, German Food Grade and BPA Free certified silicone oven mitt set. DURABLE & RESISTANT: BakeitFun silicone gloves set resist temperatures from - 40°F (-40°C) to 425°F (220°C). Far more protection and versatility than other oven mitts.
✔ NOT JUST FOR GRILLING: Also great for use in the kitchen, stove grills and stove fire starters and much more. ULTIMATE GRIP TECHNOLOGY: Sold in pairs in one size that FIT MOST HANDS, the BakeitFun Silicone Gloves set is designed for safe movement of hot items and boiling water with an non-slip grip for five fingers.

The BakeItFun Silicone Gloves Set came in a pair and has a pretty red color. It has small heart details which isn't there to just make the gloves look pretty but these small heart details actually help to maintain a proper grip on the pot/tray/pan. The 5-finger design makes this easier to use because I can freely move my fingers individually.

The gloves has a thick, silicone material which protects my hands from the heat from pans, trays and pots as well as prevent liquid from seeping through the silicone gloves. Since this is waterproof, I don't have to worry about sauces or soups accidentally going through the gloves. The gloves also has a hole on one side so that I can easily hang it up.

What makes this different is that this comes with 2 silicone spatulas and a silicone basting brush. These have the same red color as the gloves which is nice as well.

These spatulas and basting brush is approximately 8 inches in length and although a bit short, I like using them because they're non-stick. They're not that effective for turning fried food because the food just slips from the spatula but this is helpful for turning pancakes and the likes. I also like that this doesn't cause scratches on our non-stick pans.

Similar to the BakeItFun Silicone Gloves, the spatulas and the basting brush also have holes on the bottom part of the handle. For those who hang their kitchen utensils, this is helpful.

The BakeItFun Silicone Gloves is a bit big, because I have small hands, but nonetheless, I can still use it with ease. I don't have any problems holding pots, pans and trays and the bigger size doesn't hinder me from holding them properly. The length of the gloves also covers up to half of my lower arm so it's protected from oil splashes as well.

I love that I can use these gloves on hot pans, trays and pots as well as frozen things like meat and fish. Aside from that, I also use this to open hard-to-open bottles. It's versatile and durable which is really nice.
