The Highly Rated Microplane Professional Coarse Coconut Grater
December 27th, 2018
If you’re tired of grating foods by hand, the Microplane Grater is a product that will save you time and frustration. The design was inspired by a tool used to shave wood, making it extremely efficient in the kitchen. It can grate such foods as cheese, chocolate and garlic. The stainless steel blade features razor sharp teeth that make grating foods of all shapes and sizes effortless. And with the large grating surface, you can handle larger foods, such as a fresh coconut! A non-slip rubber grip keeps the coconut grater steady and a plastic safety cover can be placed over the grater when not in use. How sharp are the grater blades?
Not only are the blades super sharp, but they’re also widely spaced so that foods won’t clog. This means you get fresh, shredded foods each and every time. For cleaning, simply toss the grater in the dishwasher. Fortunately for Microplane, they got this design right, as no other products have mastered the rasp-inspired design. For this reason, the coconut grater stands ahead of the competition and is a one-of-a-kind product. Even better, the cheese and chocolate grater takes care of other flaws that product owners have faced with other graters, such as the razors being too dull or the food getting stuck in the teeth. With the innovative design and flawless performance, there are no negative reviews on the Microplane Professional Patented Design Coarse Grater. Instead, online reviews rave about this gadget, which is promised to be the best tool for any kitchen and something that everyone should own! The downfall – some reviewers said that the grater worked better on certain foods than others. However, this is common with all food dicers, as most handle harder blocks of food best.

This Red KitchenAid Can Opener Is A Heavy Duty Manual Can Opener
December 26th, 2018
The KitchenAid Company guarantees a hassle-free refund or replacement policy on the back of the can opener packaging. In the online user reviews I read, there are people who have tried-out this guarantee to see if the company lives up to their claims. They do. In my opinion, you can’t go wrong buying a product that can be replaced if it malfunctions. The KitchenAid manual can openers come in two different styles. Unfortunately, some of the user reviews online seem to be confusing openers so that it is hard to tell exactly which reviews are relevant this Kitchenaid can opener and which one should be disregarded.
The KitchenAid Company produces a lesser-quality red manual can opener that is sold in sets of kitchen utensils. The red can opener that I’m reviewing today is a very heavy-weight workhorse of a product. Every home should have more than one can opener available for all types of emergencies. Normally, a manual can opener can last for many years when it is taken care of properly. Can openers are hand washables that should not be put through the strains of constant dishwashing in a machine. The gentle washing in a sink helps to keep the gear-teeth in alignment so that the cans will always open smoothly. The KitchenAid Can Openers are available in red or black and are designed to be a modern easy-to-use can opener in a retro type of styling.

This makes it a popular option for athletes who only want to add pure, natural ingredients to their lifestyle.
Another option is Living Harvest, a company that also uses organic-certified hempseeds from Canada. Although a great choice, reviewers prefer Nutiva’s product, as it contains more for the money while staying true to USDA-certified ingredients. Not only does Nutiva come with two 16 oz. jars, but it also contains the extra boost of fiber.

With a sleek, no-nonsense design, this crushed ice maker can create pea-sized ice pellets from whole cubes in a matter of moments. It is a great accoutrement to any party or hot summer afternoon.

The ice machine crushes ice cubes perfect for munching or soft drinks, bar drinks or other delightful treats.
The portable ice maker is simple to use. You plug it into the outlet, turn it on, put your ice cubes inside the tray, and that is the end of it. The ice cubes are fed into the chute on the top of the machine and then a plastic bin at the bottom catches the crushed ice which is sent out the bottom. It is stainless steel on the outside which gives it a cleaner, more complete look. The size is not incredibly small but it is manageable.
