how is this item easier to use than/superior to a tomato corer? I can get a pack of 2 for $1.25 at my local restaurant supply store...

I've never used the tomato corer, but looking at the picture of how to use one, I'd say this is way easier. This works like a claw...one and done. You can crank out so many strawberries so quickly. Looks like the tomato corer you still have to maneuver around the stem in a circle which is more time consuming than this.

I don't know as I do not have a tomato corer and I don't have a local restaurant supply store. All I know is this thing works GREAT for me.

I would think a tomato corer, which is much larger, would remove much more of the fruit than the smaller strawberry corer.

Not sure how the other works but this steamer is super easy!! Just pop food in with a bit of water and seasoning... Microwave for a few minutes and you get perfect veggies and fish every time!

I personally feel that the 2 quart will more then handle reasonable servings for two people. That being said, I have found that I tend to over fill the pot with the 2 quart and wished I had a 3 quart so I would not have to worry about reaching the max. I should also add that having only to pay $9.99 - $11.99 for the 2 quart it was a simple no-risk purchase. I do plan on getting a bigger slow cooker with more control in the near future. The 2 quart has been a great little no-frills tool.

This is my second one, love it! I found salsa recipe on line and I do not peel tomatoes before making salsa.

I paid $6.85 for one onion saver but it was well worth it. Onions stay fresher for longer. I also have a pepper saver, tomato saver & a lemon saver.

Haven't really tried that yet! It's not an easy utensil to use. They don't make perfect spirals. Had issues with the vegetable shredding into short pieces.

I've tried a variety of spiralizers and returned them all except the Paderno, it was the only one worth keeping. If you absolutely have no room for the Paderno then I would get the Kuhn Rikon Julienne Peeler.

Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item. If you get the 3 lb bags of apples - they are small - like a tennis ball - they slice perfectly. Start it off without the gripper so you get a flat side of the apple, then put the gripper on and slice fast! They do slice thin, probably about the thickness of a greeting card. I pop them in the oven at about 190 degrees for about 45 minutes and they turn just a tad tan and get crisp. I don't season them at all though you can sprinkle some cinnamon if you want that flavor. They turn out great and you can eat a whole gallon ziploc bag of them without any guilt! Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item.

No one loves shopping at Amazon more than I do, but these tortillas can be purchased for 1/3rd this price at Netrition. If Amazon got close on the price, I'd buy them here for the convenience of using my Prime account.

Wow, I'm far from a cooking expert. Only thing I'll suggest is if you're not already using a cooking spray (i.e. PAM,Crisco or Smart Balance) try that with just a 10 second reduction on time you're MWaving them.

Well, lucky for you i can answer this because i also bought the appler corer peeler from amazon as well. The apple peeler/corer, did exactly what it meant to do. Peel and core the apple. The core from that came out thicker and the peels comes out in a separate strand. Now, this spiraler does core the apple and when you line up core with the hole before turning the handle, the core came out smaller and thinner because the size of the hole. The peels with this paderno spiraler will be mix in with the rest of the apple noodle. You can see the peel and separate it manually if you dont mind doing so. But the best thing is that you can do MORE things with this spiraler than the apple peeler/corer.

I did notice the newer version cooks faster... Lower the temperature to the lowest setting and ensure you have enough liquid in the pan (tomato sauce or BBQ sauce) so the meat stays moist. Also cooking time is less with the newer version too. Hope this helps :)

I have not done those veggies yet but I am amazed it cuts and liquifies unpeeled apple pieces and pineapple chunks. I'm going to the grocery today and get some veggies to try it but I have no expectations it will not work. QVC had or has a great buy on another version of the brand and product. You might check it out...but I just love my Ninja so far.Just got back from grocery and made a veggie smoothy. Diced peppers, celery hearts, cilantro, kale, spinach and 1/2 banana (necessary) 1/2 large tomato. Perfect. Pulverized and made into a smoothy depending on how much water you put in it. I used about 1/2 c because of the tomato. (one floret of Broccoli. I hear go lite on Broccoli additions) I have not done those veggies yet but I am amazed it cuts and liquifies unpeeled apple pieces and pineapple chunks.

I first bought the Tupperware fridgesmart and I liked it until I bought prepworks from Progressive. It keeps your produce much longer and it is cheaper.

Much easier than pyrex lids. They have a flap that one can get a good grasp on. Hope that helps.

So, the LCS3 (which is currently priced at 22 and some change) is only a 10 inch diameter and has sloped sides measuring only at 1 3/4 in (might be 1 1/4 in I'm going off memory). The LK8S3 is 10.25 diameter and the sides are not sloped they are straight and measure 2 inches high. I just used the LK8S3 this morning for a fritata with eggs, red bell peppers, baby bellas, chopped kale, and sharp cheddar on top. I have a five person family and it is big enough to produce a yummy fritata that will feed us all. I start the meal on the stove top and finish in the oven. I like the high/straight sides of this dish because you could even bake a cake in it or a pot pie etc. I have a pan comparable to the LCS3 but it is smaller in diameter (I think an 8 or 9 in). Pans with a sloped side are great for sauting and performing cooking tasks that require moving the pan around to flip the food about. The LK8S3 is quite heavy so I could only assume the LCS3 "chef's" series skillet might be more pricey because it might be lighter weight for performing tasks that require flicking of the wrists and flipping without compromising the length of the diameter and the quality of the cast iron. Don't quote me on that, the last part is only an assumption. If you want an exact explanation I'm sure someone at Lodge would be happy to assist you. They probably have a contact link on their website. Hopefully I helped, I tried my best. Have a lovely day!

I sent my Purchase back because the seal was open. I ended up ordering veg. flakes from "DENVER SPICE" company. I was buying TONES veg.flakes for 30 yrs. and then Tones stopped making them which was very disappointing because they were the best on the market, so for the last 10 yrs. I have been going on line to buy them which most do have tomatoes in the mix but still have a good flavor. You just have to try different brands until u find the one you like best.
