About as easy as it gets,

This review is from: Sushezi Sushi Made Easy (Kitchen)
I looked at about 5-6 different sushi makers recently (including the $20,000 sushi robot). Sushezi seemed the best bang for the buck. It arrived today (along with a rice cooker) via Amazon Prime so I didn't even get a chance to get impatient about it.I've made sushi for years now with the little bamboo mat. I'm pretty handy in general and have had good results with the primitive tools, but still get more than half of the attempts at rolls to have a few end pieces collapsing, the roll irregular, etc. I DO have a life and I don't want to spend it perfecting being a sushi chef. The Sushezi does one thing and it does it well: it makes a perfect large sushi roll and it does it quickly. I was both cooking and talking on Second Life to a friend and I compared chat time-stamps. I assembled ingredients (the rice was ready before I started), cut up a few veggies, found and opened a nori package, scrounged some of that orange caviar from my freezer, fake crab, leftover smoked clams, cream cheese, etc. I made four rolls. 45 minutes after the chat start mark, I had uploaded a photo of a plate of samples of each roll and sent it to my friend. If you've ever made sushi before, you know that's absurdly fast. The Sushezi has a solid feel to it. There's nothing small and delicate that's going to break and leave you with a worthless product (versus, say, those cheap plastic cookie presses). I'm staying with the very solid 5-star rating, but there are some downsides. First of all, it really needs a narrow diameter counterpart. That is to say, a Sushezi roll that can be wrapped with half a nori sheet. (Note: I e-mailed the company asking about that and got a very quick reply saying that they didn't have such a device. Disappointed though I was, I appreciated the fast and honest reply.) Next, if you're into inside-out rolls, this won't work. It's not designed to, so there's no reason to take away points. Finally, the company suggests other uses for the product. This is cool: Cheese logs and cookies as a bonus is good. However, I just want to make good, consistent sushi rolls and do it quickly and easily. Sushezi worked exacly as presented. As I said earlier, a lot of bang for the buck. You do sushi rolls? Get this.

Woo! Hoo!,

This review is from: Sushezi Sushi Made Easy (Kitchen)
Love the maki! I have several kits that I have accrued over the years and this is far and away the best thing to come down the pike. With as often as I'm using the Sushezi, I know I'll wear it out. So, my only whine is that it's not as sturdy as an Abrams tank. Right now, I use half sushi rice and half brown rice (for the fiber); it holds together righteously. I think that with the pressure that can be applied with this apparatus I can move to all brown rice (pressure cooker cooked) at some point. I like this product so much that I took advantage of the four for three Amazon deal and sent them to my kids in other states. Aside from it not being made out of titanium, my only other concern is that I'm going to get fat as a piggy from making so much. (4jul2010) I thought I'd get fat as a piggy, but, I'm actually losing weight on the sushezi diet. I make and eat one to two rolls a day. I use plenty of protein sources for the filler and half brown rice for the roll. I cook the rice in a pressure cooker which makes it easy to combine different rices in a timely manner. For the filler I'll use imitation crab sticks, turkey spam (with pineapple), tuna, salmon, and, yes, bacon makes everything better. I'll do a smoked salmon with yochee fat free tzatziki. Ah, wasabi, curry and peanut butter make great seasonings. I'll add garlic powder to the rice wilst I cook it. Made thoughtfully, a sushi roll could be one of the healthiest foods to eat. Let your creativity run wild.

Easy Nori Sushi Maker -- Sushezi,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sushezi Sushi Made Easy (Kitchen)
It looks like a gimmick but it really works well. I've made nori sushi at home for many years using the traditional bamboo mat and have even experimented with a plastic press mold. The Sushezi is easy, quick, and produces a stuffing of rice and 'whatever' to roll in a sheet of nori (toasted seaweed) in a matter of moments. Excellent results. Easy clean-up. Inspires you to make your own nori sushi at home -- often.Gary Hayman
