Summary: 5 Stars
bought it for my husband, haven't used it yet but he said it is just what he needed.Customer Review: No other tool quite like it...
Summary: 4 Stars
I think this is helpful when you master using it...which can take a bit of time if your used to using a knife. Having always used just a paring knife to cut and de-vein getting the hang of this was a bit of a struggle. I thought, being a bit of a foodie, I "needed" this.. Need, is a strong word...but I do like this now...The pre-cleaned and easy peel shrimp is much more espensive than just the shrimp in the shells...this does make it a bit easier.Once I *got* it, I think I am faster than I was. So since it doesn't take up much space and isn't expensive I think this was a good purchase.
That said... its a bit like a grapefruit spoon or melon baller in that it can be very nice to have and extreamly convenient to have under the right circumstances...but as to really needing it.. That is a hard call.
Customer Review: Good grips shrimp cleaner has good grip and cleans shrimp
Summary: 4 Stars
I've never used any other shrimp cleaner beyond a good sharp kitchen knife. With that perspective, this works quite well, though not quite as magically as the ad copy might suggest. Maybe 3X as fast as I can do with the kitchen knife. Easy to hold, easy to clean. The instructions don't mention removing both veins (top and bottom) but the cleaner works quickly enough that you'll do that too.
I did snap the tip when using the tool to open a container. Apparently not every tool in the kitchen doubles as a prybar. For the price, I bought one for a neighbor, can buy another to replace my busted tip, and may just stuff one in a stocking this Christmas.
Customer Review: Almost Perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
This deveiner works better than more expensive ones that I have purchased. The handle is very comfortable, however the plastic teeth do tear the shrimp a bit if not very careful. If the teeth were made of very razor sharp metal, it would be perfect.
