Rösle Garlic Press with Scraper Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

Rösle Garlic Press with Scraper is my latest purchase from this incredible brand, and what an incredible purchase this was. This garlic press is heavy, sturdy, beautifully made and it's dishwasher safe. It is very easy to clean since the grate flips open completely. Simply rinse with water to remove any garlic and put in the dishwasher. Rösle says that it works with peeled and unpeeled garlic, and ginger, but I have only used it for garlic so far. I also found mine on sale at Amazon, and at $39.97 it is a significant savings over the suggested retail price of $55.00). This is by farther best quality garlic press that I have ever owned, and I am delighted with my purchase.

According to Rösle,

Even unpeeled garlic cloves can be easily processed with the Garlic Press. A special leverage mechanism ensures that minimum effort is required. The sieve component swings up for easy cleaning under running water.

The superior engineering provides leverage to make it easy to squeeze! Mincing the garlic and pushing it into your pan without getting your hands messy

Crate & Barrel Silicone Spoonula Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

When all of my silicone spatulas and spoonulas started falling apart, after many years of continued use, I knew that it was time to replace them. My go-to store when I am seeking great sales on kitchen products has been Crate & Barrel for many years. I find so many great sale and clearance deals from them that they have become my most reliable source for my kitchen. The Crate & Barrel Silicone Spoonula, which I had been eyeing for a while, suddenly was on clearance, and that is when I jumped and bought 4 of them. Normally $12.95 each, the white spoonulas are currentlynon clearance sale for a mere $3.97 each, and I highly recommend getting them if you need to purchase a spatula or spoonula in the near future. However, their grey and black spoonulas are not on sale. 

These spoonulas are very sturdy and stain and scratch-resistant, and Crate & Barrel states that they are suitable for all types of cookware, including non-stick. They are constructed with a sturdy nylon core that is covered in silicone, and they are BPA and BPS-free. The Crate & Barrel Silicone Spoonula is dishwasher safe– to which I can attest– and they can withstand high heat cooking.

According to Crate & Barrel,

Stir, scoop, serve, scrape, flip and mix with our signature grey silicone utensils. Constructed with nylon cores for strength, the silicone heads ably spread the thickest batters, flip the most decadent burgers or fold the most delicate meringues. Their flexible, tapered edges scrape bowls, blenders and pans, while soft-touch silicone won't damage non-stick cookware and resists stains, scratches and heat up to 600 degrees. We love the way the refined beveled edges finish the elongated handles with a dynamic detail. Build your own collection of our exclusive Crate & Barrel grey utensils for a well-outfitted workspace that's up to any cooking challenge. Set includes: slotted spoon and turner, spoon, spatula, spoonula, jar scraper, ladle, mini spatula and mini jar scraper.

Crate & Barrel Silicone Spoonula Features:

  • 0.65"H x2.03"Wx13.5"D
  • Silicone with nylon cores
  • BPA- and BPS-free
  • Suitable for use with all types of cookware, including non-stick
  • Non-porous and stain-, scratch- and heat-resistant to 600°F
  • Slotted turner is non-porous and scratch- and heat-resistant to 350°F
  • 2.25-oz. capacity ladle
  • Exposed nylon edges of slotted turner may stain
  • Dishwasher-safe
  • Keep away from open flame

Overall Assessment: This is my best bargain so far this year. I am actually thinking about buying a few more and giving them as gifts and saving some for a time when I need them. This is a truly excellent bargain for a high quality kitchen essential. A+

Rösle Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls are a Game Changer

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

Rösle Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls have been on my radar for many years. I have long-loved this German brand's products, established in 1888, and was aware of them even when I was a teenager working in a gourmet kitchen store. I have several of their products, but always wanted their stainless steel nesting mixing bowls. I first purchased the set of three, but quickly realized that I wanted a larger one, and then perhaps even a couple of the smaller ones. 

Rösle Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls (Set of 3: $98.83 from Amazon and $100.35 from Wayfair): I have wanted this set forever, and between a gift card and Amazon points, it was the obvious time to purchase this set. A few of my favorite glass mixing bowls broke over the years, and I knew that I wanted a full set of high quality stainless steel bowls, and this was really the only brand that I was considering. They are built to last forever, and are worth the price because the quality is extraordinary. They have some weight to them, and they are very stable. The flared rim makes pouring really easy, and the mixing bowls are very comfortable to handle.

About Rösle,

Since 1888, Rösle has been using German engineering to produce the finest quality professional cooking tools and kitchen utensils for the professional chef and home cook. Designed for optimum performance, comfort and appearance, Rösle cookware offers a complete integrated system of kitchen utensils, cookware tools, colanders, casseroles, frying pans, skillets, barbecue utensils, barware and more. Made from the highest grade 18/10 stainless steel, Rösle will bring pleasure to food preparation that is guaranteed for a lifetime.

Features & Claims:

ALL PURPOSE: Prepare, store or serve food directly on the table - whether as a mixing bowl, salad bowl or for mixing ingredients, with drip-free pouring rims, the bowls are visually real eye-catchers and thanks to their functionality a real addition to any kitchen.

STAINLESS STEEL: Constructed with high-quality 18/10 premium stainless steel, ensuring durability and longevity for long-lasting use. Hygienic and neutral in taste, preserving the natural flavors of your ingredients.

SPECIFICATIONS: Bowl 1) 6.3 Inch Diameter, Holds 1.7 Quarts. Bowl 2) 7.9 Inch Diameter, Holds 3.3 Quarts. Bowl 3) 9.4 Inch Diameter, Holds 5.7 Quarts. All bowls have a little weight to them to keep them from moving while using mixers or stirring.

FOR BEGINNERS TO CHEFS: Cooking and baking have never been easier when Rosle Cookware utensils are involved, providing true cooking enjoyment featuring products for novices in the kitchen to chefs in a restaurant. A pan for every occasion and kitchen tools that become wonderful helpers.

MODERN, YET CLASSIC: From kitchen to table, Rösle provides the tools needed for serving and preparing any meal, whether cooking for one on the bbq, to professional chefs and bakers, the quality is showcased in its thoughtful design.

Bowl 1) 6.3 Inch Diameter, Holds 1.7 Quarts. Bowl 2) 7.9 Inch Diameter, Holds 3.3 Quarts. Bowl 3) 9.4 Inch Diameter, Holds 5.7 Quarts.
Constructed with high-quality 18/10 premium stainless steel, ensuring durability and longevity for long-lasting use. Hygienic and neutral in taste, preserving the natural flavors of your ingredients.
While the set of three is unmitigated perfection, I knew as soon as I received them that I was going to need  the largest one that was not included in the set, and ordered it that very day!
Rösle Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl 11" and 9 quarts ($71.98 from Amazon): I am delighted by this large bowl, it was precisely what I was looking for, and it nests perfectly with the set of three bowls. If you do not need a large mixing bowl for your common kitchen tasks, then the set should absolutely suffice, but I always need a really large bowl for a variety of cooking and baking needs.
Sizes from largest to smallest: 11 inch diameter and holds 9 quarts, 9.4 Inch diameter and holds 5.7 quarts, 7.9 inch diameter and holds 3.3 quarts and 6.3 inch diameter and holds 1.7 quarts.

The two small sizes that I am contemplating, and will likely buy, are: the 3.2 inch diameter and . 21 quart ($22.50 from Amazon) and the 4.7 inch diameter and .74 quart ($21.80 from Amazon). These will nest perfectly inside of the 4 bowls that I already have, and are perfectly sized for smaller tasks.

Overall Assessment: Rösle is less well known in the United States, and quite well known throughout Europe, and it is definitely a brand worth exploring if you love to cook. It is such a pleasure using these bowls, and their other products are also exceptional. A+ 

Purchased. Rösle can be purchased from Amazon, Wayfair and Sur La Table (Affiliate Links). All views expressed are categorically my own.
