Oliso FF-500 Frisper Freshkeeper Vacuum Sealer with Reusable Bags Review

Oliso FF-500  Frisper Freshkeeper Vacuum Sealer with Reusable Bags
Average Reviews:

You'd really hope that a product like this would "just work." It seemed simple enough to start - line up the circles, close and let go. Yet in my first 10 attempts I only got it to work maybe 3 times. I was getting pretty annoyed by this point, so I talked with their support and found out all the things I was doing wrong. Basically to get it to work correctly I needed to put the bag smooth-side up, horizontally-oriented (I tried the corner circle a few times by putting the bag in diagonally - which apparently didn't cover a hole that it needs to to trigger the vacuum), watch for wrinkles near the air hole that might impede the suction (if there are some, pull them straight).
Now that I know what I'm doing I'm actually pretty happy with it! It's very compact, the ziploc-style bags are heavy-duty and reusable, and the vacuum seals are holding well. Overall, I'm giving it four stars because although it really is a great product, there are too many opportunities for users to make mistakes.

For the first time a powerful vacuum sealer that uses reusable zip top bags while other sealers bags are one use only. The Frisper is a fraction of the size of other sealers with as much power and is attractive enough to leave on your counter top. Easy to use just fill the bag zip it closed, insert in the Frisper push one button and you are done. Compact stylish design for the home saves valuable counter space One click hands free use. Error proof indicator light lets you know when done Easy clean pop out drip tray is dishwasher safe Removes air in seconds Professional vacuum performance

Don't know why every outdoorsman doesn't have this fine mess kit item in their pack. You can cook, eat and drink out of it, both hot and cold. The handle and rim stay cool to the touch and cleaning is a breeze. The enamel finish is extremely durable. I set this on top my hand made sterno stove to cook a quick meal. It's not heavy either. Get one now! I paid $2.50 at... Kmart.

The item works well. It's too small for larger volumes of material such as 20# as fatigue sets in on the operator. Excellent for making 10 to 15 lb. batches of sausage.

Although it is not clear, this product comes with the large pan, the aluminum poacher cup holder, 6 non-stick poacher cups, and a glass lid. Make sure to use cooking spray in each poacher cup and you will love it! We have made eggs benedict like never before!

Sushezi Sushi Made Easy Review

Sushezi  Sushi  Made Easy
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I looked at about 5-6 different sushi makers recently (including the $20,000 sushi robot). Sushezi seemed the best bang for the buck. It arrived today (along with a rice cooker) via Amazon Prime so I didn't even get a chance to get impatient about it.
I've made sushi for years now with the little bamboo mat. I'm pretty handy in general and have had good results with the primitive tools, but still get more than half of the attempts at rolls to have a few end pieces collapsing, the roll irregular, etc. I DO have a life and I don't want to spend it perfecting being a sushi chef.
The Sushezi does one thing and it does it well: it makes a perfect large sushi roll and it does it quickly. I was both cooking and talking on Second Life to a friend and I compared chat time-stamps. I assembled ingredients (the rice was ready before I started), cut up a few veggies, found and opened a nori package, scrounged some of that orange caviar from my freezer, fake crab, leftover smoked clams, cream cheese, etc. I made four rolls. 45 minutes after the chat start mark, I had uploaded a photo of a plate of samples of each roll and sent it to my friend. If you've ever made sushi before, you know that's absurdly fast.
The Sushezi has a solid feel to it. There's nothing small and delicate that's going to break and leave you with a worthless product (versus, say, those cheap plastic cookie presses).
I'm staying with the very solid 5-star rating, but there are some downsides. First of all, it really needs a narrow diameter counterpart. That is to say, a Sushezi roll that can be wrapped with half a nori sheet. (Note: I e-mailed the company asking about that and got a very quick reply saying that they didn't have such a device. Disappointed though I was, I appreciated the fast and honest reply.) Next, if you're into inside-out rolls, this won't work. It's not designed to, so there's no reason to take away points.
Finally, the company suggests other uses for the product. This is cool: Cheese logs and cookies as a bonus is good. However, I just want to make good, consistent sushi rolls and do it quickly and easily. Sushezi worked exacly as presented. As I said earlier, a lot of bang for the buck. You do sushi rolls? Get this.

Sushezi helps you make perfectly round, restaurant-quality sushi in your own kitchen.The innovative tube is easy to use. Simply fill each half of the plastic tube with rice. Using the included plunger, make grooves in each half and add your other ingredients.Then replace the plunger, clip the tube together, turn the plunger to compress the rice, and remove the end cap. Plunge the rice right through the tube onto a nori sheet. After rolling up the nori sheet, use a wet, clean knife to create round slices.The Sushezi also can be used to create cake rolls, biscuit cookies, nut logs, mince patties, and candy sushi.It's dishwasher-safe and measures 12 inches by2-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches.
