Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
If like me you enjoy cooking with freshly prepared ingredients but sometimes find it a bit of a hassle, then the Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker is the product for you. In a nut shell it is a non-electrical device that crushes and grinds herbs and whole spices. Sound familiar? Well unlike a traditional pestle and mortar the Flavour Shaker is far more user-friendly and versatile.
At first glance the Flavour Shaker reminded me of one of those old-fashioned Russian Dolls--even to the point of splitting in 2 halves--but this kitchen tool is anything but old-fashioned with its ergonomic grip and tough polycarbonate body. Rattling around inside is a ceramic ball, the key feature of the Flavour Shaker: it is this that crushes and grinds your ingredients as you shake.
Using fresh herbs, spices in their seed form, garlic, chilies and other unprocessed ingredients make such a difference to everyday meals and the Flavour Shaker enables them to be prepared with ease. I was particularly impressed when I tried Garlic. Using a knife results in slices, a garlic crusher purees; the Flavour Shaker produces slices, pulp and juices—perfect! Curries using prepared whole spices from seeds are spectacular compared to using pre-ground from a jar. You get a fuller flavour as more of the oils are retained. The bottom half of the Flavour Shaker (the larger end) starts the crushing and the top end processes the contents more finely.
This product is easy to use, requires little effort, there are no spillages and you can see precisely how the contents are being processed. I salute you Jamie Oliver--the Flavour Shaker is a smart invention that fits perfectly within the surroundings of the 21st century kitchen and will intensify the tastes of the meals you cook within it.--Kate Copeland, Amazon.co.uk

Serious Disappointment,
By Dave the engineer "Engineer Critic" (Beaconsfield, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker (Kitchen & Home)
I am most disappointed with its performance. It is badly designed - can be assembled in four different orientations, so the comment about lining up the arrows is totally superfluous. Once assembled, I found that mine leaked when shaken vigourously. And boy, do you have to shake vigourously! Worse still, it is hopeless for crushing things like garlic and ginger. Might work for a few things, but does not do what it says on the tin. I think the tiny number of recipes is probably deliberate - that's all it does!

Poor quality!!,
By Graeme E "G" (West Sussex) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker (Kitchen & Home)
Having been given one of these shakers for Xmas I finally decided you give it a go. Shirt and trousers now covered in oil!!!!!
The seal is not water tight and upon tightening slightly, 3 of the 4 bevel seals sheared off. There was no excessive tightening of the unit, just sufficient to try and stop it leaking when being shaken. I would not recommend this. Sorry Jamie as much as I like your books this is not one of your better ideas. Stick with a mini blender!

Fun while it lasted...,
This review is from: Jamie Oliver Flavour Shaker (Kitchen & Home)
We got given this pukka little gadget a couple of months back. It worked fine for salad dressings and marinades and was a great talking point for guests ("Twenty quid, for that?")
After no more a couple of dozen uses the inside of the join is all chipped away where the ceramic ball hits against the thin plastic. Can't risk using it any more cos it leaks and you get plastic pieces in the mixture, so now it's just an ornament. The ceramic ball's still intact though if anyone needs one.
