Pineapple Slicer Review

I have heard about the pineapple slicer for quite a while. Every time I saw a presentation on TV, I went online and checked out the product reviews, which were half good and half bad. Some people said it was easy to use while others said it was hard to turn and pull the sliced pineapple out. That stopped me from ordering.

Luckily, my loving and generous parent-in-laws, who know how much I love single purpose tools, got me this new toy to add-on my kitchen tools collection.

This pineapple slicer comes in 2 parts: the blue top rubble handle and the metal body.

The pineapple slicer is easy to use.
1. Simply cut off the top of the pineapple, then push the circle bottom into the middle of the pineapple (the core).
2. Hold the pineapple body with one hand, turn the blue handle clockwise with the other hand until the bottom are reached, where the tool stops going down and it is time to pull.

3. Push the top button (on top of blue handle) to release handle, flip the tool upside down and the pineapple will slide down. Pulling the spiral pineapple apart to loosen up will help this process.

The tool is much better than I imagined. Some users complained it was hard to turn and pull. As a petite size woman, not at all strong, I found this tool really easy to use and clean. Since the slicing all happened inside the pineapple, the juice is well contained. That means no mess, no spill or sticky counter top to clean afterward.

The pineapple was evenly sliced and very little fresh was left behind. It was the best way I ever tried to slice a pineapple. Loving it.

Another benefit? Cut the core of the pineapple with a knife, then you have a beautiful container to serve beverage. Bonus.

Now, it is time to enjoy some sweet and juicy pineapple with vanilla ice cream, a nice way to cool off in this hot summer day. Enjoy.

菠蘿切片器

媽媽對於單獨用途的各種廚房工具愛不釋手,老爺奶奶亦深明此理.他們說將會努力尋找不同的廚房小工具,讓我玩過不亦樂乎.數周前,他們訂了下圖的廚房小助手給我 – 菠蘿切片器.媽媽在電視廣告和烹飪節目中看過這小工具很多次,但參考過不同的用家評價後,因評語好壞參半,所以遲遲沒有購買.結果,兩個老人家再次巧合地送我想試很久的小玩意(基本上,送任何廚房小助手都會合心意,因為太好奇又好想試玩),媽媽可以親身試用和寫用後感.

這支空心的不锈鋼管,配上頂部可拆除的膠手柄和底部的鋸齒,就成了方便好用的菠蘿切片器.

先將菠蘿頂部切除,將鋼管底部圓形鋸齒對準菠蘿中央位置(即菠蘿芯),垂直插入.

順時針方向轉動膠手柄直至菠蘿底,當所有菠蘿被切片後會自動停止,並可以輕易取出.部分不滿的用家表示這個步驟非常難,要極用刀推和轉動.但媽媽不是特別好力氣,覺得非常易轉動,不需太用力已完成.可能其他用家插入的位置不太正中(亦有可能菠蘿心偏左或偏右);菠蘿未熟透而太硬,亦有可能是問題所在.

大部分菠蘿肉被取出,沒有浪費.用小刀將菠蘿芯切出後,更可用作飲品杯子或食物裝飾.

將膠手柄取出,反轉將菠蘿倒出.(這個有少少難度,要逐層拉開,但整體來說還是很滿意)

超平均又圓的菠蘿片,有著罐頭菠蘿的美麗圓圓外表,又有新鮮菠蘿的高營養和鮮甜味道,大愛.

冷藏後,晚上用來伴呍呢嗱雪糕做飯後甜品,涼透心呢!

用後感:

非常易用,清洗方便,值得推介.

10分鐘雪條機

去年買了大量雪條模,而且還買了一部雪條機,但太近夏季尾,結果一直沒有機會用,也沒有介紹它的機會.

今年的西瓜月到了,每年6月開始至7月中,都是西瓜遍地的日子,這種天然又美味的消暑食品,當然會常常出現在家中.等了足足一年,媽媽終於有機會試用雪條機,測試它是否真的可以10分鐘做2條雪條;還是像其他雪糕機一樣的言過其實,20分鐘變一小時.

雪條機真的10分鐘造了2條雪條,小公主睇得好興奮,吃的時候更開心.(食譜按此)

今次選用了無籽西瓜,只需攪爛,免了隔籽的步驟.

這就是10分鐘雪條機,但做雪條前的12小時要把它先放進冰箱冷藏.


把雪條模放入機中,倒入西瓜汁.

蓋上並插入雪條棒,等待10分鐘讓其凝固.

大公主好心急.

食得啦!爸爸負責按下兩邊,令雪條模與機身分開.

取出後的雪條模,要用冷水沖在外邊約5-10秒,令雪條易於倒出.

完成啦!

嘉嘉急不及待立即試味.

晴晴當然也不客氣,兩姐妹搶先吃了首2支西瓜雪條.

真係開心到呢!!!

晴晴吃雪條的速度相當驚人.(注意,家姐開始吃時,妹妹還沒有雪條到手.這張相是緊接嘉嘉開心樣後1秒拍的,但妹妹已經吃掉半條雪條,好恐佈.)

不消30秒,她將全條雪條放入口,經歷了人生的第一次"Brain Freeze",凍到她面容扭曲,怕且以後都不會吃得太快.

仍然凍都痺的二公主.

嘉嘉才剛剛說從未試過Brain Freeze,好想試下.大大啖吃掉餘下的雪條,得償所願凍到只懂得雙手按著嘴巴.

她真的凍到打冷震,眼紅鼻紅想喊的樣子.

她凍到想叫救命但叫不到,不斷打冷震,媽媽相信家姐不會希望另一次brain freeze體驗吧!

德國Börner V形切割器

肥仔老公知道我看到電視節目中那些V形切割器時雙眼發光,恰巧他又很想買一個薯條切割器,因為每次手切薯條都切到手軟.結果,他決定買V形切割器,可以切薯條之餘,也可以切粒,切片和切條,一物多用較合乎經濟原則.他上網查看各牌子的切片厚薄和用家評語後,決定先買德國Börner V形切割器,因為可以切得厚身一點,較適合他的薯條需要,哈哈.(他有打算遲一點買另一個牌子,因為會切得薄一點)

他為了要試新產品,特地買了一大袋薯仔去試新玩具.它真的十分方便好用,平日切薯條要切15-20分鐘,用了這個V形切割器後,只需5分鐘.他很喜歡這個小玩意,是只讓我試了用西芹和蕃茄切片,所有薯仔都由他切條,玩得很不亦樂乎.

有看Facebook的朋友仔,都應該見過自家製shake shake薯條,除了紫菜味,最近還試製了香辣蒜蓉味,好正呀!試了炸薯條幾次,終於炸到放涼仍然脆脆的薯條,日後有時間再和大家分享一下.
