SushiQuik Sushi Making Kit with Rice Spreading Training Frame, Rice Paddle, Rolling Mat, Roll Cutter, Base, and Soy Sauce Caps - Sushi Kit for Beginners and Kids

Pros: Made out of sturdy material, very easy to use and clean, clear instructions, funCons: Hard to grasp sushi to cut if sushi is thickerI love sushi, but I was sick and tired of paying $11-$13 per special roll at restaurants. I love to cook and prepare meals, so I thought purchasing a sushi making kit would be right up my alley. This kit is so easy to use, and it comes with very straight forward, step-by-step instructions. I'm not a fan of the seaweed wrapper, so I purchased the soy wrapper instead, and it works well with this sushi kit.The instructions included within this product tells you exactly how to make "sushi" rice, and it also gives you suggestions and the ingredients to put within your sushi roll. My first two rolls included cucumber, avocado, and sushi grade raw tuna. I thought it was quite fun making the sushi by myself, so I'm sure if you make it a family affair with your kids, it'll be a great time!I was a little confused with how to use the plastic sushi mat to roll the sushi. I'm not sure if I was reading the instructions incorrectly, but it didn't make sense to me in regards to rolling up the sushi. I just decided to get my hands dirty, and use my hands to roll it in combination with the mat. Some of my rolls were a tad bit bigger than I expected (probably because I didn't roll is tight), but this caused the green sushi cutter to not fit over the sushi. I had to open it out a little more, and then cut the sushi. Other than these two minor things, the sushi turned out well.This product is very easy to clean, as well, which was a major plus for me.All in all, I'd say this was an excellent buy. I love sushi, and I now enjoy making sushi for myself and others. With the step-by-step instructions, and the ease of using the product, I thoroughly recommend it. If you're anything like me in regards to your love of sushi and preparing food, then this product is for you. I'm personally elated with my purchase.This is an honest review. I purchased this item with my own money at full price, and wanted to give honest feedback. I hope this helps!

Our daughter loved this set and made our onigiris and sushi. It was really easy to use, easy to wash, dry and store. Perfect gift for anyone who likes sushi!

As far as the "sushi gadgets" go this is probably the best of them all. I tried quite a few in my quest to teach my staff how to make Sushi in a fast casual concept. The picture attached to my review is the result of someone attempting a Maki Roll for the first time ever with the SushiQuik and no prior experience. The results are actually impressive for a first timer.If you just want to make maki rolls at home this is a great tool. If you want to learn on a more serious level I would suggest this as a good starting point. It teaches you enough of the basics to get into more serious techniques. That being said, some parts of this kit I continue to use even though I am experienced and do not need them, specifically:-The rubber rolling mat which is very well designed. It's a pleasure to work with and unlike Bamboo mats it can be cleaned very easy. The well thought out grooves prevent ingredients from sticking and it did not deform in our commercial dishwasher. *Tip: AVOID cutting anywhere near this ting. A sushi knife will make quick work of it.-The cutting mechanism, this thing is great for portioning and cutting Maki rolls. I use it every single day and love it. Slides right over a roll and allows for perfect cutting. Make sure to get a good quality sushi knife, do not think you can use a kitchen knife, you will never get good rolls because you won't be able to cut them properly and they will deform.

The guard you put on the mat made it a no brainer for where you spread the rice as well as how much. Also the non-stick spoon is a life saver as sushi rice is stickier than an octopus in Velcro pajamas.

I was disappointed with this sushi maker. After watching all the videos on YT about it, I set it up, thinking it would simplify my unprofessional attempt at making sushi. First, using a platform to hold the roller is not a good idea. The roller needs a flat surface. Putting too much pressure on the rice as you spread it causes the roller to tip, pulling the seaweed sheet out from under the green frame. Second, the videos I watched said the green frame snapped over the opened roller. Mine did not. It sat over the top, but did not snap to secure it. Third, the roller is not usable without the platform because it has a protrusion that fits into the platform, rendering it impossible to lay flat. And lastly, as I rolled the sushi with all its ingredients in place, one of the slats unsnapped. I had to try to return it to its place without ruining the sushi roll. While unsnapping the slats makes for easier cleaning, it's not good to unsnap during use.

Great.Very clever tools to help with your Sushi skills.helpful for those less experienced in the art.
