    Popular Rosle Pineapple Cutter Cores and Slices Simultaneously

    September 9th, 2017

    Small product picture of rosle pineapple cutter review.

    Enjoy juicy slices of pineapple with the Rosle Pineapple Cutter. This innovative tool features an ergonomic design that allows you to core and slice pineapples in a few short minutes. Perfect for fruit trays or delicious snacks, the cutter has a comfortable handle and is dishwasher safe. To use, simply cut off the top of the pineapple and twist the mechanism into the fruit until it reaches the base. With a sturdy handle, you can get a good grip and effortlessly slice the fruit. When finished, the tool retracts and can be used again. Product owners find themselves unsure of whether to go with the Rosle Pineapple Cutter or the less expensive Vacu Vin slicer.

    The Vacu Vin product has many great features as well, including a stainless steel construction and efficient slicing mechanism. While both products have received excellent reviews, some customers found they didn’t like the smaller size of the Vacu Vin, which isn’t ideal for large-sized pineapples. The Rosle Pineapple Cutter is made from a strong steel material, and product owners rave about its durability. Many other pineapple cutter slicers on the market are made from plastic materials and end up breaking from the force of coring a large piece of fruit. Some online reviews suggest using a bowl to catch the excess juices, as slicing pineapples can get a bit messy. Otherwise, this pineapple peeler and corer has received exceptional reviews and is recommended to those who are looking for a quick and efficient way to slice pineapple.

The great thing about the Kuhn Rikon can opener is that anyone can benefit from it, making it a useful tool in every kitchen. What other ways can this deluxe lid lifter serve you?

    Do The 3 Piece Farberware Wooden Cutting Boards Deliver?

    May 26th, 2017

    Product review of wooden cutting boards.

    Wooden cutting boards are one of those kitchen staples that many of us take for granted. Chances are you’ve been using one for ages and haven’t had to shop for and purchase a replacement. If this is the case, consider yourself lucky, as the Farberware 3-Piece Wood Cutting Board Set proves that not all wooden cutting boards are created equal. Cutting boards are the ideal surface for slicing meats, produce and breads and can even be used for serving. These Farberware wooden cutting boards offer a 3 board set in varying sizes from the functional 17 ½ inches down to the petite 8 ¾ inch cutting board.

    All three of the hardwood boards feature grooved channels that allow juices to run off of the board’s surface without spilling onto the counter, as well as a flat surface for dry slicing. The wood cutting boards have been designed with rounded edges and are attractive enough for table service. Unfortunately, after reading the online reviews from consumers who have purchased this set of Faberware kitchen chopping boards, serving may be what these boards do best. Many of those that submitted reviews mentioned that the boards came complete with large splinters that caused surface divots when removed. Others reported that the boards split in two after less than a year. The general consensus for this 3 pack of boards fits the old adage, “You get what you pay for” and in this case, that is not much.
