The Benriner spiral slicer is compact, easy to use with less chance of cutting your fingers!

I didn't notice differences when comparing the description of the two. I use this pizza oven 2-3 times a week. It is great for making pizza, frozen snack items, and reheating crispy foods and pizza to be as tasty as when they were originally made. This is perfect to make food for one or several people without heating up your oven and house. I have put chicken nuggets, frozen shrimp, fries, cheese sticks, and marinara sauce on at the same time and an entire meal for three people was made in 15 minutes, saved energy, and minimum clean up.

I've never made either of them, but the Silpat should work for either one. I think that the main point is that the Silpat is so slippery that nothing sticks to it and the cleanup is so easy. If you're concerned about the items touching each other once baked, put the batter further apart on your first batch to see how much they spread out. Then on the next batch, you'll know how to space them.

Sorry, I can't make a comparison, as this the only Zyliss grater I've ever owned. FYI - I'm still loving it, absolutely no complaints. Get it, you won't regret it.

Charles, I believe this is #1 from my experience in making hams and bacon with it. The recipes (Ruhlman, Symon et al) that I've used call for #1 and have come out very fine. Also, generally speaking, when you read pink salt you are reading about #1. DQ does have a #2, but its generally referred to as DQ2. That said, you can email the company, Gourmet Imports, and if your experience is the same as mine, they will respond within a day or two.

I have two of the Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Pelton spatulas. I just read the reviews for the Mercer Cutlery Hell'e Tool Spatula. Although both look similar and have somewhat identical descriptions, the Matfer is very flexible and thin. You can pick up the most delicate cookie with it or slide it under a fried egg without breaking the yolk. I read a review that said the Mercer one was very stiff and rigid. Neither of my Matfer are stiff nor are they rigid. My guess would be that they are probably not the same but that is JMHO...and since there is such a price difference...my gut feeling is that the other might be a similar look but it will not be as thin or as flexible. Once again just my opinion. I love the Matfer; my first one is years old and it looks brand new. It is probably my favorite kitchen tool since it feels good in my hand and it always works for those delicate foods that need flipping or gently removing from a pan or tray. It is thin and flexible along the edges but it is also sturdy enough for flipping a burger. Hope this helps you decide!

In reply to an earlier post on Oct 1, 2008 11:47 AM PDT solitaire40 says:I think it's confusing too. <snip> Tried a meatloaf and it didn't cook all the way thru.Maybe my fault - I don't remember. The cook book could be better.Reply to solitaire40's post: The cook book, charts, times and temps are only a guide. You have to use a thermometer to test for doneness...that's the only way to go.

the difference is the maker CR is basically generic and DL is made and used by Duracell. Hope this helps

way different. CAL is slaked lime, strongly alkaline and caustic, has to be handled carefully. Calcium chloride is much safer and easier to work with,(my pickles now come out nicely crisp). check a site called The Garden Web: pickling lime questions.

The United Kingdom ( UK) makes this outstanding pastry blender. I made several crumb toppings w/this quailiy unit.Have tried others,and OXO is my choice.Hands down to any other at present.

I have no idea and can't check because the slicer is at our other house. Sorry but next time I'm at the other house I will check. If you don't have the printed manual you may be able to find it online through the manufacturer.

I have the Jumbo slicer - not certain on "White"? looks axsacly like the one pictured to the left. I can measre if you preffer... I want to say the thickest slice is a good 1/4" or larger. I can say with great confidance , this is a wonderful tool that I cannot belive how much time it saves and the quality is outstanding.

Hey Charlie - They have a FAQ for the slicers here: http://chefschoice.com/faqslicers.html No manuals online though - what did you need to know about it?

Have not cut peperoni, but have shaved semi-froze raw beef and American cheese you could see through and that was with the serrated blade. Have not tried the smooth one yet. As long as you know it is a home slicer and not the one in the super market you should be very happy with the 615. It will slice down to less than a 1/4" heal. I have also sliced very nutty and course fruit fruit cakes in 3/16" slices and did not tear up.

I would guess that they're comparable. This one is $5 less expensive though. I can tell you I use my prochef multiple times a day and am very happy with the quality for the price. I've had $30 scales in the past that have gone glitchy quickly with my excessive use.

I don't know but it is amazing for preparing potato dumplings! I imagine baby food puree would be the same consistency.I have been so pleased but I try not to be too rough on the handle as reviews I read before buying had some difficulty buta little reasonable care and there's no problem. This processor has made food prep more enjoyable since my arthritis makeschopping and dicing a chore. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with mine.

I recently got the Vidalia chopper that comes with the dicing blade that comes with this and with a double sized hole blade that gives larger chunks. The vidalia one is made by Progressive (which name is part of the cover mold). Vidalia label is simply a stick-on label. I recommend the Vidalia because its two blades are more versitile. BUT consider the three blade version of Progressive because it, for $10 more, has a slicer option which I can see could work well for mushrooms, which sometimes will break egg slicer wires.
