Joseph Joseph Cut and Carve Chopping Board Review

Joseph Joseph Cut and Carve Chopping Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My mother wanted a cutting board with grip. She was concerned about having her roast slide away from her and the knife slip. I thought this cutting board would be returned when I opened it. It felt strange, it looked strange...but she loves it.
Thanks to whomever designed this odd thing
1/21/10 update- My mother has been using this cutting board for a month now. She still loves it. She likes that meat juice collects in the board so that it can easily be saved for broth. It doesn't move on the countertop and the roasts/chickens stay put on the board. She has not got the dexterity she used to have. This has made her cooking safer and more enjoyable.

With the help of Danish Designer John Brauer, Joseph Joseph has developed Cut and Carve. This is a double sided, multi functional chopping board. The key product feature is the angled cutting surface to assist in the drainage and the collection of juice or food. Once collected they can be poured from a corner. One side of the board has a meat grip to assit whilst carving.

Linden Sweden-Jonas of Sweden 18/10 Stainless Steel Conical Strainer, 5-1/4 Inch Review

This strainer is great looking and extremely durable. It is expensive but the quality of it is great. This strainer will fit over bowls, pots and if you have a double sink like I do you can hang it over the sink. I really like that. I made a strawberry mixture to put over cheesecake and biscuit shortcake using 2lbs of strawberries. The mixture accumulated a lot of juice after sitting for a while and I did not want all that juice so I put the entire 2lbs of cut up strawberries in this strainer and there was still room left. I was really impressed to see over a cup of juice come through this strainer before I pressed on the berries. I was able to stir the berries without any problem. It is rather deep so you have to use deep bowl or deep pot if you want to keep what ever you're straining. I am going to get the larger 10" size too. If you don't mind spending a few extra dollars, this is a great conical strainer for many uses that should last a very long time as long as you dry it thoroughly after washing. I would recommend this to any serious cook.

Conical strainer is great for mashing, pureeing and draining fruits and vegetables. Strong 18/10 stainless steel can withstand repeated pressure from a pestle. Convenient hang hook and handle allow the strainer to be mounted onto pots or over the sink. Made in Sweden.

Fox Run 3-Piece Stainless-Steel Chinois Set Review

Fox Run 3-Piece Stainless-Steel Chinois Set

Not a mesh chinois at all. It's a China cap; a solid metal cone with holes stamped into it.
It's well made, solid, and beautiful. Good piece of equipment.
But don't be fooled by the picture - I think it's the low resolution of the photo that makes it look like this has a mesh screen, like a chinois.
But it doesn't.

Great for straining sauces and soups or mashing fruits and vegetables, this chinois set is a must-have for every kitchen enthusiast. The 3-piece set includes an 18/8 stainless-steel chinois, a wooden pestle, and a chrome stand. The strainer features a fine mesh and an assist handle that allows it to rest in pots and large bowls. Or place the strainer in the handy chrome stand while using the pestle to press food through the mesh. The tool allows for sieving good stocks and broths, mashing berries for compotes, ridding fresh squash from its excess water, and a whole slew of other uses.

Oxo Stainless Steel Strainer, Double Rod Review

Oxo Stainless Steel Strainer, Double Rod

I am a foodie and as such, I own quite a few strainers. This is the first Good Grips strainer I've purchased and although I love almost everything Oxo makes, I was still surprised at the size, quality and fineness of the mesh on this one.
Do your math, this is a HUGE strainer compared to most hand-held strainers, but the mesh is quite fine and yet sturdy at the same time.
It's without a doubt the best strainer I've purchased anywhere. I hung it on a hook because it's too big for my various utensil crocks, but I find myself reaching for it even for pasta, for which I'd normally use a colander.
Considering the 4 for 3 deal going on right now, it was a superb value, as well.
I intend to buy the smaller versions, as well, to replace my older strainers.
Oxo seems to make their products better and better all the time. I have yet to get a 'dud' from the Good Grips collection.
