Large, Heavy Duty
I'm a big guy and I like big and heavy duty kitchen gadgets.These didn't disappoint in that regard.

The can opener appears well built.However, the drive wheel has very shallow teeth that slip on the can even though the sharp cutting wheel requires little drive effort to penetrate the metal can top.Squeezing the handles with a very firm grip mostly overcomes this problem with only a little residual slippage, but that eliminates the expected advantage of a large can opener with a lot of leverage.The opened can lid seems much sharper than those produced from my inexpensive and functional Swing-Away can opener.On the very first can I opened, I brushed a finger tip against the edge of the lid and received a very deep cut.The Swing-Away can opener I had been using apparently produces more of a cut & rolled edge that seems much less dangerous.

The whisk handle is comfortable and it works well.I think I prefer a lighter whisk with a hollow handle and I definitely prefer a completely smooth surface that's easier to clean.The Kitchenaid logo has molded and recessed features that require a little extra cleaning effort.

The peeler works well.The large handle is easy to grip (I have large hands), but it does take up a lot of space in the gadget drawer.The clip on plastic blade cover is a nice touch to keep the blade from banging into other gadgets and nicking them or dulling, but I wonder how many minutes it'll be before I lose the plastic cover.

The spatula is well designed and well built.The silicone rubber is slightly harder than a Rubbermaid commercial spatula I had, but it oozed silicone oil and was discarded.This spatula is soft enough to flex as needed, but probably not so soft that it'll ooze silicone.Again, I'd like a smooth handle that was as easy to clean as possible.Decent marks here, but the molded Kitchenaid logo again requires a little extra effort to clean.

The grater is nice and heavy duty.No complaints.

The ice cream scoop is solid and well built.The surface polish is mirror smooth.However, with hard ice cream, the ice cream spade (sold separately) works better with much less effort.Even with the spade, scooping frozen ice cream is a bit awkward and requires a lot of force.This scoop will require hard ice cream to be microwaved to soften it before it can be scooped.I have an old commercial Hamilton Beach ice cream scoop with the completely hemispherical thin walled stainless scoop and a ratcheting thumb mechanism that drives a band inside the scoop to release the ice cream.It scoops hard ice cream more easily and releases it more easily than the pretty new Kitchenaid ice cream scoop.

Overall, these are large and heavy duty tools that are certainly well made.I don't think durability will be an issue.Some of the tools could have been designed a bit better.A+ for materials and workmanship.A- to C- for the various pieces for ergonomics and functional design.This set is good, but for the price it should be very good.It wasn't quite up to the very high standards I have come to expect from Kitchenaid.

I'd probably be more charitable, but the half inch gash on the end of my left middle finger makes typing this review a bit painful.At least it finally stopped bleeding whenever I flexed my finger.I'll be more careful with the Kitchenaid can opener.

KitchenAid 5-Piece Gadget Set, Blue
I bought the 5-piece set at a JC penneys when i lived in Florida and paied more than $24.99. This set is great and i'm happy with all the tools. The can openner is the best, no more electric ones for me. The handles are confortable to hold and you get a good tight grip with out hurting you hand. The ice cream scoop will not bend like some many i have used before. The peeler & whisk are the best i ever used. The scraper is really made for Kitchenaid Stand mixer bowls and is quite long so you might want to buy a smaller Kitchenaid scraper for regular bowls but this works well. Only tool i did not get was the grader but i have bought it from Kitchaid.com with other cobalt blue gargets this christmas cause they are offering free shipping and 25% off total order with code "Holiday04" until christams.

Kitchenaid tools rock in my kitchen!
For a number of years I had always purchased the cheap kitchen tools, accessories from the local dept. stores.It's true that you get what you pay for.When I received this set (I purchased the one in blue) I was very pleased with the overall quality of each individual item.I would recommend this for anyone that has ever bought those cheap plastic spatulas, the cheap metal cheese graters that are difficult to clean and always end up rusting and those cheap wire whisks that end up rusting also.You will get more than your monies worth out of this set. ...

Nice Piece from a Limited Line
This is a very nice looking cake server that is highly polished and impressive to serve with. The price is also good. The front edge has a fairly sharp edge to slide under whatever you're serving.

After quite a few uses, however, I am downgrading this item to two stars from four.I found a weak spot--literally. The blade is very sturdy and so is the hollow handle, but where they join, the metal is very thin.I found it bends easily when scooping up a large portion that is stuck to its tray, with icing, for example.

Also, the rest of the line is quite limited. The other pieces like the spoons and tongs are poor functional designs. Thus, this item won't match anything else you own. My advice: if you use this (and the pie server) just for serving and you're gentle, you'll be OK. ... Read more

Good craftsmanship, but small
This ladle is well crafted, and looks quite nice.However, it's smaller than I was expecting.It is about 1/2 the volume of a usualy soup ladle.I guess that's what a serving ladle means, but I didn't know at the time of my order.

It's still the perfect size for scooping up pancake batter, and the spouts adds to the convenience.However for serving soup, it's too small, and take twice as many scoops to get your soup into the bowl. ... Read more

Made of nylon reinforced with glass fibers for strength anddurability, the five large kitchen tools in this set are safe for allnonstick cookware and heat-resistant to 450 degrees F so they won't beharmed by high heat on the stovetop. The set comprises a slotted spoon;a slotted turner with a 4-inch-wide head and beveled edges for slidingunder food in any direction; a fork with a cupped head so it can beused to scoop up food as well as impale it; a pasta server; and a 6- ounce ladle holding with a pouring spout on the left side (perfect forrighthanders but awkward for lefthanders). All the tools measure 14-3/4inches long (except the 14-1/4-inch ladle), have curved handles forergonomic ease, provide big hanging holes on the handles' butt ends, gosafely into a dishwasher, and sport snappy chrome KitchenAid logomedallions.

The designer had to be a GIANT!!!
These tools are HUGE!! No really I'm not exaggerating, they are very BIG! And they fall out of every pan I have except for the big ol' stock pots or dutch ovens, but who's gonna use non-stick in those anyway.. I guess if you are a teflon- a -holic, and you even buy those non-stick.
Other than them being huge they are okay, they are heat resistant.I kept them because I basically got'em for FREE! I store them in the drawer they are not really used. They are not for me, my husband reaches for them more than me.
Too awkward and clunky. 2 stars

very large but full of quality
I didn't think it would be that large either but i got used to them after a while.you need a tall container to hold them in though.They are of good quality finally NO MELTING! great to use with my ionized cookware which makes a smooth cooking combination.

Make sure you read the description -- these are HUGE
I should have read more carefully the description and the very accurate review already posted.While these are very sturdy tools, they are HUGE.I've never seen kitchen utensils like these, regardless of the level of quality.The handles on each item are long, thick, and don't seem to serve much function.I'm not quite sure what the purpose is of having everything be so large, beyond having a large end on the ladel so more liquid can be scooped up at one time.If you have a large kitchen drawer or other storage advice, then these are okay if you believe you need oversized utensils for cooking.Otherwise I would suggest looking for something else. ...

AWESOME!
Buy this tool and you'll NEVER need another pasta server!This thing is just incredible.I just love using it - it's heavy, but not too much, just enough to grab that pasta without it slipping out all over the place and it's just a beautiful serving piece as well.That 18/10 stainless steel looks almost like silver in the bowl, it's just that beautiful.And, we don't even need to mention the cleanup.It's just so easy, nothing sticks to it and it goes through the dishwasher like a dream.I just can't say enough good about this thing.You just need to buy this thing - every pasta lover needs this one in their kitchen!

Nice and strong
It's all one piece, so no water gets inside.It's really easy to scrub if your pasta happens to dry onto it.It's really light, and has a handle that is just the right length for getting a big spoonful of pasta, and the teeth are just the right length for not letting it fall out.Nice and shiny, too.

Superb Quality, Superb Design, excellent product
I acquired this nice piece from a local department store thinking to myself did I make the right choice?(My collection consists of mainly Hoffritz).As soon as I started using it, I realized that KitchenAid is top-notch.

I immediately enjoyed the long handle and it's hollow design for cool-off effect.The beautiful 18/10 polished stainless steel finish makes it look like a million bucks.

With large definitive teeth and sufficient drain hole on the bottom, you can scoop up large sum of noodles in an instant.This is a tool that makes cooking faster, and easier. ... Read more
