KitchenAid Universal Tool and Gadget Set, 14 Piece, Black

Great product

Me encantaron los accesorios y por el precio están regalados

I'm certainly not an expert on kitchen items but these Kitchen Aid items seem to be well made to me. They feel sturdy when I pick them up. They are easy to hold and easy to use. The slotted turner, short turner and basting spoon do not bend when pressing them down in a pan (like when you are using the slotted turner or the short turner to break up hamburger. or the basting spoon to separate carrots in your broth). The utility whisk works well and cleans up nicely. The can opener grips the cans and I'm able to turn the opener easily to open the cans. The euro peeler is a bit of a challenge to use (I find the peel blade to be to small) but it is certainly sharp enough to peel the potatoes I used it on. All the items (except the can opener *hand wash only*), handle the dishwasher well and come out clean. As far as I'm concerned, not a bad set for the price.

My old can opener was dying from age and its blade was no longer sharp enough to cut through the lids of cans. I was finally frustrated enough to start looking for another can opener to order when I saw this KitchenAid tool set that I could order that came with the can opener. These tools seem to be well made and heavier in weight compared to my other nylon type kitchen tools that I already possessed. The handles of these tools are thick to grab hold of and the tools themselves were not thin or flimsy so that they would bend during use. When I compared the "Slotted Turner" and "Basting Spoon" I had with the ones that came with this set, the old ones I had been using are at least 2 inches shorter. I am looking forward to donating my old ones and using this nice new set from KitchenAid.

Many of my non-scratch utensils were plastic which melt if left in the pan at all, so I was looking to upgrade to something more heat resistant and durable. This 14 piece gadget set was a good chance to replace a lot of my kitchen utensils all in one go. This sitcom with a 4-piece dry measuring cup set, a 5-piece measuring spoons set, a can opener, a peeler, a spuatula a non-slotted spoon and a slotted turner. These are all non-scratch which is great. I quickly discovered something that wasn’t apparent from the listing: the top of the utensils are black plastic with the KitchenAid logo etched into it, while the bottom are silicone. So…. the whole thing isn’t heat resistant. If you have a big pot and leave the spoon (or any of the other utensils inside), the top will Mel when it touches the side of the pan. Ugh. I was very disappointed to see that. The other thing that I was a little disappointed about is that the measuring cups are kind of squat: not that wide but deeper. It makes it touch to store the largest cup sized one in my drawer - it’s just too tall, so I have to leave 1-cup measuring cup in my sugar canister all the time. That also was disappointing. I like that all of the utensils except the can opener can be placed in the dishwasher. Other than the problem with the measuring cup and the top of these being plastic, this is would be a great starter set for a bridal or house warming gift or a good sturdy replacement set if yours are getting worn out. This is a great value - just watch out for the melt factor.
