Culina Products {Review}
I’ve told you about other Culina products before, and I’ve never found anything negative to say about any of the tools we’ve tried. Well, I was asked to review a few more pieces of their product line and this is what I thought!
Culina Collection is a line of quality kitchen ware, including (but not limited to) cookware, bakeware, utensils and tools, all ergonomically designed to simplify your life and enhance your culinary skills. We pride ourselves in offering 100% satisfaction [lifetime?] guarantee, non-toxic products of superior construction utilizing advanced materials such as temperature-resistant silicone, robust, heavy-duty stainless steel, titanium, or sustainable resources such as bamboo.
We put our expertise into the making of quality products manufactured to the highest standards of exigency so you can safely and delightfully cook, prepare, bake, present and serve exquisite recipes to your loved ones. E-ve-ry-day! Are you ready to enliven the dormant chef in you?
Well I can tell you one thing, there are no dormant chefs in my house! Even the teenagers have their specialties and favorite meals they are requested to make for others. We were able to try out a few new items to see how well they would hold up.
Here are our thoughts on these different products:
- Purple Kitchen Shredders – This is a great multi-blade scissor that is meant to cut leafy vegetables and spices (like cilantro, parsley, spinach, etc). With just a few “cuts” over the bowl or sauce pan, your fresh herbs and veggies are chopped and ready to go without messing with the cutting board and a knife. Plus, you can use these for shredding personal documents in the office! It comes with a great protective sheath too.
- Pink Loop Handle Peeler – Besides being an awesome color, this stainless steel peeler fit great in my hand! The blade also swivels so it follows the shape of the fruit or vegetable very easy. Plus with the way the handles come together up towards the top, this was a wonderful way to grip and control the peeler as I used it. And it comes with a small plastic piece on 1 end that is for digging out potato eyes or other small bad spots.
- Blue Dolphin Peeler – How sweet is having a bright blue dolphin peeler on hand?! Seriously though, it got the job done whether we used it on apples, squash or peaches. It’s large enough to be gripped in the hand and the swivel blade works with you to get the job done quickly. I also liked the slight bend to the “tail” for the angle of the blade to the vegetable or fruit.
- Red Loop Handle Shredder – Another awesome color tool for the kitchen, and it makes cutting Julienne- style a snap! This bad boy shredded carrots, celery, cucumbers and more in just a few strokes of the blade. Very easy to grip towards the center as the two arms come closer together.
All four of these products were easy to wash, rinse and dry so they were ready for the next project. No one found any strain or awkward holding positions as we used them for family meals this week. And there may have been talk of ordering a few in the other colors just so there’s enough to go around!
Another item we received was the Stainless Steel Pizza Rocker. This is a 14″ blade that looks like the professional tools you see in all the restaurants! What we liked the best was it didn’t smash down the crust or drag all the toppings off like using a knife or rotary cutter does. This just sliced right through and you moved on to the next cut. Whether you like your pizza in squares or traditional slices, the rocker got the job done in seconds. Plus, we found that it was great for large rough chopping jobs after getting fresh herbs from the garden.
Finally, the last item we got to experiment with was the 18 piece Grill Set, which comes in an aluminum brief case! Seriously from the outside, it looks like a metal brief case, but once you open it, you find all the tools you’ll need to be the master of your grill. It includes a burger flipper, tongs, 4 sets of corn cob holders, basting brush, copper scrubbing brush, large knife and fork, and 4 steak knives. All the tools are dishwasher safe and each has an elastic loop or velcro strap to hold the pieces in place until it’s time to bust them out again. This would also make a great gift!
All in all, I am very happy with the Culina products that we received. I hope they continue to stand up to our demands, and I know they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee if we run into a problem in the future. Any or all of these would make a great gift for a housewarming, newlyweds, or home chefs.

My favorite kitchen tool is my Chef’s knife. I finally bought a “good” knife and it was well worth it — I never realized how chopping and cutting could be so easy and fun.

My favorite kitchen tool is my spatula.
Love those shredding shears!! The corn holders look like they would hold up. can’t tell you how many sets I have bought and broke over the years. It would be nice to know how long the handles are on the grilling tools. Nothing like scalding your fingernails over charcoal.
My kitchen shears are my favorite utensil! I use them all the time!
I really like the red handled shredder I have never had anything such as this and I can see where it would be used and come in handy to have– thanks for the chance at your giveaway
