Kuhn Rikon Quick Slice Julienne Mandoline with Hand Guard Review

Kuhn Rikon Quick Slice Julienne Mandoline with Hand Guard
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I swear there were reviews on this when I first put it on my wishlist.
This is a handy, light, fairly compact shredder that seems to be pretty sturdy for its price range and isn't too hard to clean. It shreds finer than a real julienne (which is supposed to be an eighth of an inch square), almost more of a grate, although where grating gives pretty flat pieces the shreds this cutter makes are almost square in cross-section. Maybe a mini-julienne?
I used it to make hash browns and it was easy to use, although the enclosed hand guard doesn't work well with large chunks of vegetable -- it's basically a knob for gripping mounted in a flat surface, so although it has spikes to help grip a vegetable it kept slipping off the rounded surface of the potato. I found it easier to use my bare hand until the potato was small enough to put my fingers within risk of the blades, and then switch to the hand guard.
It comes with a blade cover that snaps onto the cutting surface and doesn't add any real bulk to its profile for storage.
I will keep and use it, but in a truly crowded or minimalist kitchen you probably don't need both this cutter and a grater. If you need true julienne, another cutter would be better.

Kuhn Rikon 10-Inch Galaxy Spring Whisk Review

Kuhn Rikon 10-Inch Galaxy Spring Whisk
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've got way too many weird whisks, but this is one I would not want to give up.
It's very useful for pan sauces, but shines when whipping/beating eggs and especially for stirring in narrow spaces (glasses, jars, pitchers, etc).
I prefer to use my "magic spoon" style whisk for salad dressings and other emulsions, but this one is close second.
Calphalon now makes a similar style (saw it at Target) that is noticeable larger. I haven't tried that, but I would prefer the flexibility of the smaller whisk, since I frequently use this for mixing in small containers.

Kuhn Rikon 4-Inch Nonstick Colori Paring Knife, Yellow Review

Kuhn Rikon 4-Inch Nonstick Colori Paring Knife, Yellow
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Update: This knife is light, sharp, easy to maneuver, and pretty. This has become my go-to knife since writing this review. It's my new best friend in the kitchen. I use it so often it rarely gets back to the drawer before I need it again... and it's still cute.
Original review:
My paring knife disappeared. This one was affordable and stylish. I brought it home and dropped it in a drawer. Today I had an unusually tough lime to cut, and I chose a serrated steak knife from my knife block as I knew it would be a tough job. After much sawing back and forth with the steak knife, there was a minor abrasion on the lime surface. I picked up my new, never-been-used Kuhn Rikon, fully expecting it to slip off the lime and cut open my hand... but much to my surprise it sliced cleanly through the rock of a lime, and my bartending was delayed no more! I love this little thing. I got mine at Sur La Table, where these knives were labelled, "Very Sharp!" as if to warn curious customers. The dollars are precious these days, and I think they were well spent on this knife.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this product. You can feel the quality when you pick it up. Even for its smaller size, it is well balanced, smooth operating, and leaves a smooth clean edge on both the can and lid. I love mine so much I bought one for each of my daughters. I would recommend this product without hesitation to anyone looking for a can opener.

The Kuhn Rikon Slim Safety Lid Lifter safely and easily removes lids, leaving a smooth edge that is suitable for resealing with a plastic lid. It's great for resealing dog and cat food cans, as well as coffee cans. The opener cuts from the side, leaving the rim smooth, not sharp or jagged. The tiny jaws of the exclusive Lid Gripper clamp onto the lid rim, lift off the top, then release it into the trash with a push of a button. The can opener is made of 18/8 stainless steel with a polished finish, and the turn knob is of a durable soft rubber so it is comfortable to hold and turns easily.Safe to clean in the dishwasher, the opener features a slim design for convenient storage. It's available in a choice of colors.

Kuhn Rikon Vase Seasoning Grinder, White Review

Kuhn Rikon Vase Seasoning Grinder, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was really looking forward to these grinders because of what I thought was an excellent design. No getting pepper on the table - great idea. We put them on our wedding registry - two, in white and black, for our salt and pepper. They are a little pricey for such a basic item, but what the heck.
Problem is that they dont work well.
Grinding sea salt is OK, although a lot of excess salt tends to build up on the lip of the grinder, generally letting loose all at once so its hard to control how much salt you actually put on your food.
As a pepper grinder this product gets an "F". It cant handle the pepper corns, often getting jammed. Unfortunately, this means that after six months, the plastic grinding mechanism has become stripped and mostly doesnt turn at all. In addition, the ceramic grinding surface has already begun to wear out.
All I can say is "beware". These might work OK for some softer spices, but they've turned me from an enthusiastic buyer into a skeptic in a very short time.
Revised: As it turns out, the grinder was defective and broke shortly after I posted this review. We returned the pepper grinder and it was replaced without charge. We have been using the replacement grinder for several months and it is working OK now. It does actually grind the peppercorns acceptably. I have upgraded the rating accordingly.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wanted a serrated knife to cut meat. This is actually a tomato knife. I still like it remind you. I just wish the title were more accurate so I would be surprised when I got it. The case is too tight for the knife. I am not sure if I will use it. I tried a couple of times, I saw it cut the middle part of the case.
I like Pure Komachi serrated knife better, but they do not have one for meat either.
I guess I am only disappointed because it is not what I expected. It is still a good tomato knife.

Kuhn Rikon Kitchen Shears Review

Kuhn Rikon Kitchen Shears
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My favorite thing about these shears is the spring action that makes cutting easier for me. The blades are very sharp and fit closely for a clean cut without too much effort. In addition to kitchen tasks, they do extremely well on paper and ribbon, even many thicknesses, and were heavily used during package wrapping season. I use them often in the kitchen and in the utility room, however when making holiday wreaths (cutting wire and small but tough branches) I prefer the Wusthoff come-apart shears (Wusthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears) because it's easier to wash the sap off and if the blades get nicked, it's easier to sharpen them, plus they have the 'bone notch' that works well with branches. I got a nick in one of the blades of these shears and although they continue to cut fine, I don't feel the nick going away through the self-sharpening action. Maybe it just takes more time. Still, I can't complain about the sharpness of the blades.
I also like that the blade tips are narrow enough to get under a sealed box flap for opening shipped packages and they cut cardboard easily. They do well opening other packages too. Although I love the Wusthoff shears, the bone notch limits their ability to cut paper and cut open plastic packages as effectively as these shears do so I have both available.
There is a bottle opener at the bottom of the blade, but I've never used it, in part because I don't keep the shears in the case, but rather hang them by the hole in the handle. As a result holding them closed during the bottle opening exercise is a little awkward. I also found the herb stripping slots too sharp to strip the leaves without cutting the stem, but that's not a problem since fingers work pretty well for that task. While those extra functions don't add value, in my opinion, the sharp spring action scissors themselves are worth having to compliment whatever else you use as kitchen shears.

I ORDERED THIS THROUGH AN AMAZON SITE AND GOT IT RIGHT AWAY WHICH WAS GOOD , BUT THE WAY IT IS MADE, IT IS HARD TO PUT FOOD IN IT AND CLOSE IT BECAUSE THE PIECES ON BOTH SIDES HAVE TO CONNECT . ALSO IF YOU DO NOT HAVE LARGE ENOUGH PIECES YOU CAN NOT CHOP IT, BECAUSE IT GOES UNDER THE CHOPPER . I WOULDN'T HAVE EXPECTED MUCH FROM THIS EXCEPT THAT THE ADVERTISMENTS MADE IT SEEM SO MUCH BETTER. ITS OK , BUT PROBABLY SOMETHING I WILL THROW IN THE CABINET AND NEVER LOOK AT AGAIN .

The Kuhn Rikon Twist and Chop container reduces veggies to a fine chop with a few, quick flicks of the wrists. The blades are double sharpened to cut in both directions, so not a single motion is wasted. The clear bowl allows for easy viewing of the contents so you can be sure of the size of your chopped pieces. Quick-working and compact, the Twist and Chop does away with onion tears; eyes stay dry and hands stay clean. It's dishwasher safe and comes with an extra bowl and lid included. This set comes with red lids, and a set with white lids is available separately.

Kuhn Rikon Vase Whisk Review

Kuhn Rikon Vase Whisk
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Based on my total admiration of design and confidence in other Kuhn Rikon products (garlic press, whisks), I added this to my vast collection of kitchen tools a few months ago. Since then, I've used it twice, both times with disappointing results and more labor than would generally be required to simply whisk salad dressing or marinade by hand. Yesterday I wasted 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil, a few tbsp of fig balsamic vinegar, and a beautiful shallot in preparing a batch of vinaigrette. Adding freshly ground pepper and sea salt to the vase is a mess - most of it ends up on the counter. Shaking the vase causes the liquid to ooze out, and pouring leaves the flavorful solids (shallot) stuck to the sides. Threw it in the trash and remade the dressing by hand, as usual. Cute, but useless.

The Kuhn Rikon Vase Whisk combines two great tools in one: it's a whisk in a cruet. Make perfect salad dressings and marinades every time by simply adding ingredients and shaking. The stainless-steel whisking ball completely mixes and emulsifies dressings and marinades, and the helpful measuring lines save time. Equipped with a large spout to pour liquids containing herbs and chopped food, the vase whisk speeds things up in the kitchen and adds flair and flavor at the table. As an added bonus, recipes are included.

What a great turner! This will last me for years. It's thin- so I can get under just about any food item; it cleans up easily, and it's really well made. I'm a huge fan of Kuhn Rikon items, and I have a large collection of them. I don't think I have ever been disappointed with anything they have made- and this item is no exception. It's just perfect (except for non-stick pans, of course- don't try to use this on non-stick)

We've gotten into homemade custard-based ice cream and that means careful stirring to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot. The design of the working end of the whisk allows the head to reach every bit of the pot but without my having to twist my stirring arm into a knot. Since the head is hinged, it lies flat in a drawer which is a good thing, too.

Kuhn Rikon Quick Slice Mandoline, Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this mandolin! I bought two other "fancy" mandolins & returned them because they just didn't work very well, before discovering this one.
It's super sharp. It cuts everything beautifully -- perfect, thin slices every time.
It's got blades on the front and back so it cuts twice as fast as most other mandolins.
It's super easy to operate - no moving parts, no little parts to lose.
It takes up virtually no space. It slides in on its side in my kitchen drawer (blades facing the drawer sides for safety).
It's pretty.
It has rubberized feet that keep it from slipping on whatever surface you set it on while cutting.
It's sturdy.
It fits over any bowl or plate - no special container needed. I can slice right into the measuring cup, the mixing or salad bowl, or even right over the sandwich. Less to wash is a good thing.
It's easy to wash. Just rinse (or sometimes a quick swipe with a soapy brush), rap it on the side of the sink to remove the water, & put it back in the drawer.
