El Yucateco Green Chile Habanero Sauce, 4 oz.
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. This GREEN Habanero sauce is quite potent. Two or three drops is all you'll need for a bloody mary and only a few more drops will add considerable heat to any family sized dish.The Habanero chile is one of the hottest chiles known to man and in its immature state its color is green. So these younger chiles are slightly less hot than then the older red ones.This is a pure heat source with little if any other flavor beyond the overwhelming heat. If you really think hard about this sauce you might (?) be able to detect a vague hint of vinegar (which is the Acetic Acid listed in the ingredients).Ingredients (as copied from the label): Water, Habanero Pepper, Salt, Acetic Acid (a chemical component of vinegar), .... etcConclusion: There is nothing special about this sauce beyond its considerable and concentrated heat. While there are some very vague vinegar notes (from the Acetic Acid) - there is no real character to this sauce beyond pure heat.Yet that my be all you want. A potent heat source and this one certainly meets that mark!If you decide to order this sauce --- Watch the seller's shipping charges which can often be excessive and won't drop even if you order multiple bottles at the same time.I'd pass on this hot sauce because of its lack of character - 3 stars is about right. But if you are looking for just pure heat then give it 3 or 4 stars or even 5 stars.If you want even more heat then look for a Habanero sauce that does not list water as its first (therefore major) ingredient. There are other Habanero sauces which are even hotter but I'll confess I'm not a big fan of tasteless but ultra hot chile sauces.Tastes do differ so you may want to try this one. In all fairness I gave it three stars because it offered pure heat without any obvious flaws.

El Yucateco Chile Habanero Hot Sauce Bottle, Red, 8 Ounce
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. This New England winter is brutal. The winds keep howling, the temps keep dropping and the snow is pounding us like we owe the clouds money. Every day I'm bundling up and shoveling four feet of something -- snow, ice, stranded hybrids, Kennedys -- and I'm done with it. I just wanted to find some way to warm up.Also, to feel my toes again and have my [...] crawl back out of my rib cage. But I settled for trying to warm up.I've always heard that if you warm up on the inside, then the outside will follow. So I bought this bottle of El Yucateco and saved it for the next inevitable snowstorm. When I was done shoveling and still shivering, I opened it up and slammed it down the hatch -- all eight ounces.First, a few words about the taste: El Yucateco red has a nice tangy element, lingering through the forward habanero kick and beyond. The additional spices play well with the primary pepper, adding a savory depth that's more than just pure heat or capsaicin jolt. The tomato base and hearty thick texture promise a richness and complexity of flavor that is delivered quite nicely to the palate.And now, a few words about the unrelenting napalm burn that traveled around my mouth, down my gullet and -- over the next twelve hours or so -- into, through, and out my intestines, scorching and defiling every square millimeter of delicate insides that it touched: [...]Overall, I'd say this would make a very nice complement to a variety of Mexican or South American dishes, as well as grilled meats, starchy vegetables or as an extra kick to, say, garlicky green veggie side dishes. Also, it's unlikely that I'll be able to sit down without searing pain for at least a month. So 'use in moderation' is the take-home message, I suppose.

Ateco 1112 12-Color Food Coloring Kit (Set of 24) [Misc.]
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I am glad that Amazon has a record of my orders, because we will order this again when we run out. I use colorants for everything from frosting to soaps, and I haven spent a lot of money on colorants. I even bought several of the Wilton gels and really, really hated them, I found them messy to use and some of the gels tasted bad when you wanted a dark color, so I was looking for an alternative. This gel seems to mix with everything and even dark colors taste good. We made a rainbow cake and colored the cake batter and we did very dark colors. The day of the party, the cake tastes great - no detection of colorant bitterness, but 2-day old cake will seem to have a strange taste, maybe the color finally settling in. The colors are great, and because they are dropper bottles, you can control the amount - they are very concentrated pigments, so one drop will do wonders. If you want really dark colors, you will probably achieve it with just a few drops, but beware, it will, like other colorants, stain your countertop, fingers, tongue, skin, so plan on it and protect your counters, etc. We are used to this, but obviously, wipe spills quickly. Again, seems to be a no-taste colorant in a convenient dropper bottle with a lot of color choices, to save you mixing for the right shade.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I'll admit it. I am a food coloring novice. For my entire life, I only thought food coloring came in 4 colors. Bright red, bright yellow, bright blue and bright green. If you wanted orange, you had to mix the red and yellow. And if you accidentally added too much yellow, you had to add more red. But then you could accidentally add too much red and have to add more yellow until you have a whole bowl of orange food coloring and all you wanted was to color a little bit of frosting so you could put it on a dozen cookies.Happily, I was wrong. There aren't just 4 colors of food coloring. There are at least 12. And I bought them. Not only did I buy them, I used them and loved them. I little of this food coloring goes a long way. Long gone are the days where you end up making gallons of coloring for a dozen cookies. Gone are the days where you could never get the color just right without having to sand your table and rip out the grout of the tile on the floor because the coloring is everywhere after you tried to mix them. These are amazing times where you open up the color you want and add just the right amount of exactly the color you were looking for.This is a great product and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to color their food.

Augason Farms Country Fresh 100% Real Instant Nonfat Dry Milk - 14 Lb. Pail 302 - 5 Tbsp Servings
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I decided to open my pail of Augason milk and was I surprised how this really tastes great. I actually think this tastes better than the milk in the dairy section of the supermarket with perhaps the exception of organic milk but organic milk was too expensive for me. I use more of the powder to water ratio than they recommend. So I have now gone through my first pail and ordered a second.The advantages are that you can make enough for your present use; like for a bowl of cereal or a gallon and not worry about a freshness date from one at a grocery store. don't get me wrong, the powder milk that has been added to water will eventually go bad; but what I would like to emphasize is your not adding to your carbon footprint by having to recycle or throw away all those used milk cartons from the store.I have ordered from here on Amazon the Hamilton Beach Single-Serve Blender to mix the powder and water; we'll see how that works out.My brother scored some protein powder (and some other Sam Andy products) at a garage sale of all places and the protein powder tasted great with this product.I would recommend that you purchase the #10 can first to see if you like it. As for me I'm sold on it

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I like this food for my dog. Avaoderm seems like a repudable company. Dogfoodadvisor is a good website to go to to find good information about all kibble and wet food. My dog likes this food, and did very well on it. Her coat was super soft and she had lots of energy. I just noticed during the summer months her urine burned the grass. After some reading on the subject I found that high fish and beef diets can increase the uric acid in dogs and cause burn spots on your grass. Once off the fish and beef soley foods the urin grass burns stopped.Update: Avoderm just came out with a revolving grain free line of kibble. Turkey, Duck, and Trout. My dog is on the Turkey and loves it. She is allergic to Chicken. Even though this has chicken fat in it, it's the chicken protein she is allergic to and chicken fat does not contain the protein. I buy thick slices of fresh, low sodium turkey at the deli and top the food with peices of turkey and she eats everything. I could barely get her to eat once a day and now she is eating 2 -3 times a day and seems to be enjoying it. So far Petsmart, and Webers is the only ones carrying it. I give the Turkey a 5 stars!!!

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. My chihuahua/dachshund developed a horrendous skin allergy which got worse when he went outside. He scratched so much, we took him to the vet for a shot, prednisone and antibiotics. I had read about the benefits of Avoderm, and already was feeding them this dog food. I also have a miniature schnauzer. I noticed, when I didn't have Avoderm for a week, but did have Blue Buffalo which is also high quality, that my mix began to shed noticeably. When I bought more Avoderm, he hardly shed. That alone, is reasons for Avoderm. We also bath him with Avoderm shampoo which works effectively with this dog food. He is still on Prednisone, and I bought the largest bag of Avoderm available. With my schnauzer, I've noticed minute changes...no outside odor when she comes inside, breath smells better, even better mood and more running and jumping. She is older.Another benefit, and this is a huge plus, they seem to empty their bowls instead of letting it sit in the evening when they are fed. My mix is still of puppy age so I feed them "All Stages no grain" dogfood. It's not the cheapest, but the benefits make it worth it. I'm very pleased.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. My dog is allergic to almost all major ingredients in almost all dog food. I feed him RAW food but it's getting kind of expensive. He doesn't like eating chicken. Which is the cheapest of all RAW food. He is highly allergic to beef, turkey, duck, egg, wheat, soy, barley, sweet potato, and his list goes on =( So its very hard to find a dog food that has nothing he is allergic too. Have tried so many brands it's unbelievable. Because even if one item is on the very bottom of the list he would break out everywhere for days. his nose turn pink etc. I feed him raw food which he loves and has no problem at all but we travel & sometimes its very hard to have raw meat with you. So it's just a bit easier if he ate kibbles. His poop is solid hard with Avoderm Salmon Grain Free. His coat is shiner & soft. The only thing I don't like about this is that Peas is the 1st ingredients on the list. Also tomato pomace is a controversial ingredient most people say its a by-product remaining after processing tomatoes into juice, soup and ketchup.But so far my dog is very happy eating this and he can't wait until it's time for him to eat.But I will keep looking for something better which is really hard unless I make my own dog food which I don't have time for =(

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I am using this for my labrador mix that is extremely allergic to all kinds of foods and it works great on him!!! I got him as a puppy and he would have huge stomach upsets, diarrhea, vomitting, pretty much everything!! I didn't know what to do with him and I thought he was not going to make it.. However, this seems to be the only food that works for him now. I looked for a good holistic food that I could afford and also easily available so that I can run out to buy it when it's out. This is found in petsmart so it's pretty easy to find this food and it works really great for dogs that can not consume corn meal. Also, I have found that his coat is extremely shiny now! I get compliments on it all the time and everyone is always asking me what I feed him :) For the price, I think that this food is pretty awesome and I probably won't be looking for a new food anytime soon. I'm still looking for a cheap holistic food that does not contain any grains, but I think that will be next to impossible.. :(

Avoderm 13-Ounce Chicken And Rice Dog Food Cans, Case Of 12
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I love this dog food. Most importantly my 13 year old standard poodle loves this product. He has been a finicky eater since day 1 and for good reason. He was allergic to every dog food on the market. I finally resorted to a home made all natural diet I found in a book at a health food store. After years of tweaking he finally got tired of that too. So back to store bought? Yes! Finally companies are waking up and giving us good quality dog foods to choose from.What I love about the Avoderm wet foods are that they have huge chunks of carrots,peas,blueberries,potatoes. They aren't just veggie powders they are the real thing.Right now my pup is going through Chemo therapy for bone cancer and has a low appetite at times. He loves this food.It's a little "gooshy" so I put in the fridge for a more firm easier food to work with. ( he doesn't like "gooshy" either)My only gripe is that it is hard to find locally and I have to order it online but a HUGE thank you to Amazon for carrying it at a very reasonable price.very happy with Avoderm hope this helps someone out there.Becky

Azar Nut Company Macadamia Nuts, Unsalted Whole, Dry Roasted, 32-Ounce Resealable Bag
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. There is a lot of variability in the quality of macadamians, even from the same producer. I've only received one bag of these, but they are perfect. I've run across many that have had varying degrees of bitterness, usually accompanied by an unnaturally hard consistency, as though they had been harvested too early. Not these. They have perfect consistency and flavor. The vast majority are whole as opposed to halves or smaller pieces. [Update: I've now ordered about 8 bags over a period of about a year. The quality has be consistently excellent.}I use macadamia nuts as a regular part of my diet. They preferentially reduce bad cholesterol due to their high content of monounsaturated fats. They are low in carbs, and have very few simple carbs, so they will not only take the edge off your appetite, they will help keep it off. Unlike most nuts, they are low in oxalate, which means regular use will not increase the risk of kidney stones. (Pistachios and walnuts are also low in oxalate.) The only catch is that their high healthy fat content means high calorie count per unit volume. To dodge that bullet, I just ration them out as opposed to absentmindedly eating from a large container.This is a great product. I'm happy to give them yet another 5-star review.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. These pine nuts are a product of China. Had I known that I would NOT have purchased them.Why? These Chinese pine nuts leave a distinctive and extremely unpleasant metallic flavor on the tongue which lasts for as long as two weeks depending on how many are eaten.Being a raw foodie, I use a lot of pine nuts in my raw food preparation, so it didn't take long for me to isolate the food which was causing the terrible, disagreeable reaction on my palate. The nuts are expensive and I thought I was getting a good value with Azar but as it turns out, since the Azar Chinese pine nuts are not edible for me, they were a tremendous waste.Perhaps not every body will have the same reaction as I but I thought I must still flag a warning about Chinese pine nuts.I should add finally that I do NOT have any problems with domestic pine nuts or Italian pignolias and I much prefer them, especially if they are organically grown. The flavor of USA and Italian grown pinenuts is far superior. The metallic issue seems to come up with Chinese pine nuts only.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Original review: You would think the difference would be negligible, but there is a huge taste and texture difference between these nuts and your run of the mill Planters or Fisher nuts. Too expensive to buy all the time (I am on low carb and snack on nuts a lot), but definitely worth getting for a lovely little gnosh now and then!Update second purchase 6/1/2011 Dropped from a 5 star rating to a run of the mill 2 star rating. They were on sale so I ordered two bags - big mistake. These are nowhere near as good as the first bag I bought. The nuts are less fresh and 1 pound 10.9 oz of these nuts were almonds and cashews, probably more than that because I ate a few of them, so probably about 6oz of these nuts were something besides almond/blanched almonds/cashews - too bad because the last bag I bought seemed to have more of the "goodies" and less of the filler nuts and a lot of the pecans were flat and hard, as are some of the almonds. Given a choice between these and the Planters deluxe w/macadamia, I'd have to go with Planters...too bad, they were awesome. Guess I'll return that second bag. :( (I don't really like almonds and cashews all that much)I can no longer enthusiastically recommend them...what a shame. I was really looking forward to this delivery. :(

Baby Brezza Baby Food Maker Machine - One Step Cooker and Blender to Steam and Puree Baby Food for Pouches - Mixes Organic Food for Infants and Toddlers
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I have this machine and have been using at least twice daily ever since my baby started eating solid. This is indeed the best baby product I have ! However, after two months of use - the bowl and / or shaft seems to not sit properly and thus food could not be blended properly. However, a quick call to customer service - within 3 minutes, the phone was picked up and no question asked - they told me the first batch of bowl has some manufacturer defect and they promptly offer a full replacement with no further questions asked on receipt etc. Mine was one of the first initial batch that was bought at Babysrus. The new shaft and bowl will be sent to me and I have to return the lid - all return shipping paid by the company. I would give my comments on the new design later. But as far as the two months use, and the great customer service - I will give it 5 stars. The design is really really innovative. I compared to the competitor's product - this wins hands down. There's no transfer of food. I can carry my baby on one hand, and throw some carrots (chopped) and peas / spinach and add clean water (cos' the water will steam the food and will be in the bowl as part of the puree) - and press a button (Steam and blend) and just wait for 15-30mins (depending on the quantity) and all will be ready. It's as easy as ABC - scoop out the food and serve - fresh and hot : If the puree is not fine enough - just hold down the blend button for one more round and it will come out in smooth consistency. I like it with a little texture since my baby is a big older. There's enough control and I foresee using it for the first few years.

Baby Brezza Baby Food Maker Machine - One Step Cooker and Blender to Steam and Puree Baby Food for Pouches - Mixes Organic Food for Infants and Toddlers
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I think this machine is nice and the steam and blend cycle is nice but it takes an insignificant amount of extra time to dump food from basket directly into the blending container in the Beaba. So as far as this difference I don't really think it is significant enough to go with the Brezza. Beaba now makes a larger machine also. I guess the cost is a little less for the Brezza but because of the disadvantage I am about to mention it absolutely does not work for me! I chose the Beaba because you cannot put your jar or small glass container right into the Brezza to defrost or reheat like you can with the Beaba because of that middle rod that is part of the blades. It is completely in the way in my opinion and they force you to use their plastic containers to store and reheat food! I freeze my baby food in these tiny glass lock containers because I try to use glass when I can for storage. I also buy the glass organic pre made baby food when I don't have time to cook as a backup and I need to be able to warm those since the baby doesn't eat the whole jar yet so I store left overs in the refrigerator. You can put the jars and the glass containers directly in the Beaba basket to defrost and heat and I could not use the Brezza to do it. I would have to defrost at room temp or in fridge then transfer to heat which takes way too long and I would have to transfer to the brezza containers which are plastic and then heat. Not only this is completely time consuming (I do not use the microwave it irradiates your food, destroys nutrients and it is horrible!) it is also plastic and even though BPA free I am trying to avoid plastic like I mentioned so just steaming and blending in plastic is already too much for me so for storage I use glass only. So this is a good machine but if you are looking for defrost/reheat function where you can put your own containers and jars into this machine will not work.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. The first problem with this product is the fact that their manual is so vague and also incorrect. The manual indicates to fill the water to the 160mL line - it says 180mL on the carafe. The instructions are incomplete - I had to call them to get clarity on exactly how much water I should be putting in for just an ounce or two of food. The gentleman on the phone that helped me was very nice, however, after doing what he told me, I noticed that there was still water in the reservoir after steaming. Additionally, the food was cold again within seconds of pulling it out. I also don't like the fact that after steaming, the water dilutes the baby food - you have to drain it and, in the process, you lose much of the food that was in there in the first place. The whole reason I chose Brezza over the Bullet was for the steam feature which is extremely flawed.Also, again, following the directions, I used the steam and blend feature for some fresh China Peas I was pureeing for my daughter. After it steamed and blended, there were still pretty decent chunks in the puree - enough to have my child coughing and nearly choking.I read one of the other mommy's reviews on this product about how she had to take the thing apart to fix it and make it work, and, frankly, at the price you pay and the limited time you have with a baby, I don't want to take a machine apart for it to work.I took my Brezza back and have been using my Vitamix blender and it's AWESOME. Everything is silky smooth after I blend and now for steaming, I just put the baby container in hot water for a bit and it's warmed. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

I started using the Baby Brezza a couple of months ago and I have been able to make fresh, homemade, tasty baby food for my 7.5 month old daughter with such ease it has been a delight! I wish this had been around when I had my first daughter as I attempted to make her baby food, but gave up after a couple of weeks. The Baby Brezza has made it possible as a working mom of two young girls to make my little one's meals that are easy to make and don't require constant monitoring. You just chop up the veggies, select the steam time, press steam & blend, and walk away. A little while later, the food is ready and there's only a few parts to clean up. I can make her food 2-3 times a week with different ingredients and blend different veggie/fruit combinations. I've tested sweet potato, apples, pears, peas, carrots, avocado (just blending), mango, peaches & plums and various different combinations. I envision this will be useful for many months and afterwards steam veggies for the entire family. It will definitely more than pay for itself with the money saved! Of course, I could make it with other kitchen equipment, but the Baby Brezza saves so much time and makes the whole process much easier and I'm much more likely to continue to make her food for as long as possible.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Got BabyBrezza 5 month ago. Nice for steaming, but blending never worked properly. Here is why:1. When you steam the food a lot of water gets accumulated in the food container - too much, so before I blend I have to get some water out. The instructions said that you can get water in the food container if you put too much water in the water chamber - this not true, I tried everything and no matter what there is just too much water in the food container.2. The food is not blended enough to be as smooth as the babies prefer there food, so I ended up blending the steamed food in the blender. And, there are always a couple of chunky peaces in the bottom of the container after blending. Fine, I could use the blending function on a later stage, I thought. But...3. After 4 month of use (mostly for steaming), the blending function is not working. The machine makes a loud noise but the blades do not move. Some reviews suggest how to repair this "flaw", but seriously, I just gave up.Finally, I got a hand mixer and happy with it. The baby does not need all foods to be pureed anyway now.I considered BabyBeaba before I got BabyBrezza, but my fried had issues with that one since the steaming chamber cracked within two month and the replacement did exactly the same again.Other flaws of BabyBrezza:- loud when blending- a piece of plastic broke on the bottom of the food container after 2 months.I would have returned it after the first use but my husband threw out the box instantly. :)

I ordered this unit and loved it initially. After about 8 purees, I noticed little bits of hard, clear plastic in my dish rack and realized that they had broken off of the bottom of the Baby Brezza unit. These small bits of plastic hold the drive shaft in place. The unit can still be operated but it is very difficult and frustrating. It is very hard to mount the unit and have the lid stay on without the drive shaft being properly supported. I have contacted the company and hope to get a replacement unit soon. How discouraging though that this happened after just a few uses. I have never used the dish washer to clean it either, so that I could just leave the drive shaft in place. I will also comment that pulling the blade out of the unit in order to clean it is difficult which is probably what led to the plastic pieces breaking off. Had the item not broken so quickly I would have rated this 4 or 5 stars. I love the recipe booklet that comes with it. My son loves the variety of purees that I have made him. The idea of steaming and blending in one step is so convenient. Hopefully my next unit will not break.

With all of the things I'm getting used to as a new mom, one being that I just don't have time and/or energy to get a lot of things done around the house, Baby Brezza sure has been a big help! Just put the food in and walk away! I've even tried some of the recipes that came with the manual, and my son hasn't turned one down yet :-) I also have the storage containers with the daily markers (which I love) and the spatula. Both work great.Unfortunately, I have to say that I also received one that didn't blend properly at first. I used the steam and blend function on my first try, and when it got to the blending, it made the noise but didn't move. However, I didn't take mine apart. I pushed the manual blend button and it worked. Ever since then, it's been working fine on both settings. (I don't suggest this as a fix but just thought I'd share).Also, I don't have that many machines in my kitchen so I don't have much to compare it to. But, do all food processors make that much noise??? I thought this was a task I'd be able to do when my son's asleep (which is when I get most things done) but that is not an option.Still, I'm a fan!

As a first time mother I spent hours researching and preparing for my daughter's arrival last July. She is my first child and I wanted to make sure I knew as much as possible about food and nutrition for a happy and healthy baby. I breastfed for 3 months and then had to stop due to some health issues I was having. I wanted to make sure that when it was time for her to start soft food she was getting the maximum amount of vitamins and nutrients needed for optimum health. I was given the Baby Brezza at my baby shower and when my daughter turned 4 months I decided to give it a try. The set up is a breeze and the recipes included were labeled by age, so I knew which ones to make for her based on her age. I decided to try the carrots and pears first. From prep to clean up it took all of 20 minutes of my time. I followed the recipe for 1 batch which was 2 carrots and 1 pear and I was able to make 5 jars of food.I felt even better that it was preservative and chemical free and only cost pennies to make as opposed to store bought baby food that can run as much as a $1 per jar. It steamed and pureed everything beautifully and tasted AMAZING!!! My daughter gobbled it up and even wanted more! Clean up was a breeze. I honestly didn't think making my own food would be so simple.This sleep deprived first time mother gives Baby Brezza 5 stars. I love it. Set up and clean up is easy. Great recipes. And I make quality food for my daughter for just pennies a jar. Highly recommend it for parents and those looking for baby shower gifts.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I've had the Brezza for about 4 months and have blended many fruits, vegetables, and meats with it. It steams and blends well. It is quite convenient to simply put the contents in the bowl and set the machine to do the rest. I really like that it has a button that will steam and blend as well as a separate setting to manually blend and to steam. It also comes with a recipe booklet with a list of how long to steam common items, which is very helpful. Luckily I have not experienced the issues some of the 1 star comments have discussed. If I do I will definitely submit an update.Keep in mind that this is a novelty item more than anything since using a steamer and a blender/processor will do the job just as well, although having to only deal with one dish is better than handling two. At least those are common kitchen items that anyone will get more mileage out of for other reasons besides making baby food. Have that in mind when considering whether or not you want to buy the Brezza.My main complaint is that it is EXTREMELY hard to remove the blade, which makes it difficult to get the food out from the bottom of the bowl. The only way to remove the blade is when the bowl is on the unit. It took me a while to figure out that the blade needs to be turned and pulled at the same time while the bowl is still on the unit. It doesn't matter if you turn it clockwise or counter clockwise, just pull/turn and hope it comes out. This is very hard to do especially when the blade is not clean because I can't get a good grip to pull it out. I now use a paper towel to get a better grip. The top piece of the blade shaft ALWAYS ends up coming apart from the rest of the blade when pulling, which is very annoying.Overall the Brezza gets the job done by consolidating two common household kitchen items into one, which makes the baby food making process much more convenient, but it definitely has its kinks that need to be ironed out.

I used the Baby Brezza for about 2 months and it broke. It was good while it lasted - very easy to use. A couple issues I did have with it -1) It is difficult to remove the blender attachment. It seemed to be easiest to remove while hot but you have to be careful not to burn yourself in the process. Otherwise, it took a lot of force to pull out the attachment.2) It broke after two months - it was the plastic part that helps to hold the middle rotor on the bottom. I didn't use this that often - probably 3-4 times every week since my baby just started solids and there were a few things I just mashed up instead of using the Baby Brezza.I had intended to get this replaced through Baby Brezza but saw that it would cost $10 for me to ship it back to them - since this seemed like poor manufacturing on their part, I didn't want to pay to have it shipped back to them. I contacted Amazon and they provided me with a postage paid shipping and refunded the money very promptly.I ended up buying a pressure cooker and using my food processor which seems to work just as well - it does mean using more pots/items which means a little bit more clean up but it's actually faster and I can make larger batches of food.

I researched every available baby food maker on amazon.com and this one seemed to be the best bang for the buck. It steams and then purees the food in one fell swoop.Pros:-Steams quickly and throughly, as long as food is cut into small chunks.-Has a steam and puree setting, so little handling or work on your part until the food is ready to eat. However, the instructions do suggest that you first drain the container when cooking foods that have a high water content.-Makes enough for a new eater to have food for a week. You won't be spending all your time making baby food, because who has time for that?-Fruits and vegetables are blended to a smooth consistency, great for new eaters.Cons:-Removal of food and clean-up is a pain, because the blades do not come off easily. Blades slip onto the top of the container, and food and water can slip down the opening once the blades are removed.-Water gets into the drive shaft while steaming, and I am pretty sure the instructions said not to immerse the drive shaft in water. Not sure how this will affect future functioning.-Machine seems to run out of water for steaming pretty quickly, sometimes in the middle of steaming.-You must purchase a separate insert to steam grains. I tried cooking and pureeing oatmeal on the steam & puree setting, and had to add water several times, and the consistency was rough. The instructions do not tell you how to go about cooking grains so I am assuming the insert comes with those instructions.However, I am returning this item because the blades have started to chip, the stainless steel on the lid is starting to rust, and the plastic handle has broken. This is all after only three uses. So, I am unsure if I will be ordering a replacement or if I will be ordering the Beaba Babycook Baby Food Maker.

I received this as a Christmas gift. Last night I wanted to try it out. So I tried making some carrots. The steaming portion seemed to work great. It kind of put a lot of water in the carrots, though. Once it came time to process, all it did was make noise. The blades did not spin at all. My husband and I tried taking it apart and putting it back together, but it still would not work. I have contacted the manufacturer today. Hopefully, they will replace it. Overall, it was really disappointing. I really wanted it to work. It's a nice looking little machine. It takes up very little counter space and it has little suction cups on the bottom so it stays in place. I really hope I can get a new machine.**Update**After calling the manufacturer and leaving a message (I got the voicemail) I was promptly called back. The woman on the phone explained to me how to open the bottom of the machine and reattach the belt (she claimed that it would not void the warranty). According to her, the way Fed Ex was shipping the machines is causing the belt to come off inside. Unlike the other reviews, I found the manufacturer to be quite helpful and very nice.I only have a few issues with it, so far. The blade is difficult to remove after it is done processing. You have to turn it and pull kind of hard at the same time. This is difficult to do after steaming because it gets pretty hot. I also noticed brown liquid leaking out from the bottom of the canister. I am assuming that it is lubricant from the drive shaft. It's not getting into the food, but it is annoying.Other than that, I have no other problems. It's actually a lot of fun to use.

I received this item as a gift from my parents. They asked what I wanted, and this was it. What a mistake!I was only able to use this device three times before it completely broke. I was never able to steam AND blend all at once, for various reasons.The first time I used it, sure enough, the blade didn't spin. Upon reading other user's comments, we unscrewed the bottom (this took some effort to find *just* the right screwdriver, sadly) only to find that the belt was not attached to the gear. Apparently the Baby Brezza folks know that this is a design flaw, and yet they haven't fixed it. If your product can't even stand up to the rigors of shipping, imagine how "well" it's going to perform under daily use!Now, I know a little bit about design flaws. I am a mechanical engineer. I am so disappointed that mine eventually died for a STUPID reason - after steaming and pureeing (separately, since it was broccoli and I had to add water per the instructions), the blade WOULD NOT come out of the bowl. We pushed, we pulled, we rotated, we spun it, we knocked it on the counter. It was stuck, as was my broccoli under the blade.Come to find out, the small pin that provides the up/down motion had DUG ITSELF INTO THE PLASTIC OF THE BLADE MOUNT. REALLY?!?!? This was not our doing - this thing was stuck in there from the get-go.Cheap, plastic, not durable, flawed design....there is no good reason to buy this thing. I use my steamer, my oven, and my small combo food processor/blender and it works great. Save your money and use the tools you already have. You'll end up dirtying just as many items anyway.

Update: Thanks to the wonderful folks at Lowe's they got the stripped screws out of the bottom of the item, and I purchased some new better quality screws to put back in it. Now that my item is fixed, I still will not give this product 5 stars, just because I do not think it is worth its cost. I think as easy as the belt comes on and off that is something that should be addressed whenever the company goes to make a newer model.Received this off my wishlist for Christmas and was excited to use it, it steamed the veggies just fine, however it would not blend. The blade and its unit inside the baby food maker would not spin. I noticed other people on here have had the same problems. I tried to call the Baby Brezza company at 9:23 am EST since on their website it says their business hours are 9-5 EST. However their automated system would not let me speak to a customer service representative, you have to leave a message. Sorry, I want to talk to some one and NOT wait to be called back at YOUR convenience, but rather MINE. I gave them their chance, so I now have to wait to receive the Amazon invoice in the mail from my mother since she is the one who purchased it here on Amazon for me, and then I will be printing a FREE shipping label and returning with ease through Amazon. I was really looking forward to this baby food maker, however, I think I am going to be going with a different brand. This thing is a piece of crap. IT is so disappointing to try to make your baby food and to have this thing not work; on top of that, their customer service has disappointed me too.

I was hesitant about this machine because of the price tag, but I am glad I made the purchase. I have made every food combination under the sun using various fruits, veggies and meats using this machine. I love that I can set the machine and not think twice about it until it beeps at me letting me know it's done. As my son got older, I loved how I was able to make chunkier foods; I feared this machine would only make purees. Currently, I use it to make a chunky ground turkey, brown rice and veggie (broccoli, sweet potato, peas, etc) combination.I have to also add that this company has beyond exceptional customer service. Reading the reviews about how some people experienced the complete opposite leaves me baffled. I contacted the company via their Facebook page and had contact with someone in the company within the hour. The blade was starting to crack from the plastic base and after speaking with customer service, I had a brand new machine at my door step within a week. The company provided a postage paid envelope to return my broken components, so I was very happy that it didn't cost me anything to return the machine. I really thought I was going to get the run around or be told that I would have to replace the blade myself, so I was very impressed with the company shipped me a brand new machine.Overall, I've recommended this machine to several friends and all of them have also been very happy with it.

I got this baby food maker off of my baby registry. I wanted to make my baby's food so I knew what was going into his mouth. Well, it worked great the first few times and then the plastic broke off the bottom of the container that holds the metal pin in (holding in the blade.) I was able to rig it so that it still worked anyways. Then, a couple days later while making a batch of prunes, the motor went out! Well, surely this was designed to handle something a little thicker like prunes.So, I called and emailed the baby brezza company. About a week later, they did call me and ended up sending me a brand new machine for no charge to me. But, in the meantime I steamed the food in my steamer and used my food processor. I loved that SO much more because I could do large batches. So, I think I may return the brezza. If you want to make food in tiny batches, this would be great. But, I found that a food processor and steamer are much more efficient for large amounts of food to freeze. So, 3 stars (being generous) for the machine and 5 stars for their customer service if it breaks :)

Being the natural freak that I am since having my little one I had been debating back and forth on whether to get a baby food maker knowing that I would only be happy if I was able to make my own food and know exactly what was being put in it. I had heard everybody say "Oh...you don't need one of those fancy things. All you need is a pot, some steam, and a fork. That is the way we used to do it."After looking at several brands I decided that the baby brezza looked worth the $100. Let me say I was totally right. This thing is awesome. I spend about an hour or two a week (usually on a Sunday) dicing veggies and fruit, put everything into the baby brezza, push the button, and voila! Baby food complete. I just pour it out of the canister into freezer safe containers and store it frozen for the whole week or two. It is a breeze to clean, does an awesome job making a smooth puree, and saves me tons of money by not having to buy organic baby food.I would definettly recommend this product to anyone thinking of making their own baby food. It makes our jobs as mom's a breeze!

I really wanted this to work so I sided with the 60 some-odd positive reviews as opposed to the 30-ish nays & purchased this when my daughter turned six months. Well, two months to the day I started using the BB (today she is eight months), the blender function stopped working. It will still steam, but not blend. Also, day one some of the plastic curved pieces on the bottom of the container broke off (but it still functioned), and the unit has been leaking the brown/black fluid for a while. I just disregarded these issues because I really wanted it to work. Romanticizing the all-in-one factor and all....I of course recycled all the packaging so I don't know if Amazon will take it back. Sounds like BB customer service is a waste of time too. AND I even took the unit apart this morning and the belt is turning just fine...So, all I can do is warn other parents - do not buy this machine! It's not worth the trouble for the few weeks of service it provides. I really don't understand why it's so difficult to make a quality product when you're charging this much for it.

I got the baby brezza about 6 months ago, when it was time to start introducing solids to my baby boy. Back then all the reviews were 5 star, so I was super excited to get this item and thought it was worth the higher price. Well, it's not. The main reason why I got this item was so that I could make vegetable and meat purees in one steamer/blender. In the product review it stated that the machine can be used for meat and fish. It can't. In the operating manual it says that you can only used ground meat, which I didn't like. I thought that maybe I can cook the meat separately and then put it in the brezza to blend with the veggies. Well, it couldn't do it either. It couldn't handle blending even very soft turkey breast and would quit after several seconds. Having to stand there and hold the button down was also very annoying. I was extremely disappointed with the brezza and wanted to return it, but the seller I got it from wouldn't accept returns once you open the box. Anyway, now I use the brezza only to steam the vegetables. I cook the meats separately and then finish it all in a blender. After 6 months it can't blend even soft vegetables, by the way. So basically I paid a $100 for a vegetable steamer, which you can do in a simple pot.

I, like many first time moms I assume, thought I needed every cool baby-specific gadget available so I was really excited to get my Baby Brezza and really enjoyed using it at first. Making baby food with the Brezza is just as simple as they say, it is nice to just turn the machine on and let it go to work. After a month of making my son's food though, it broke. Mind you, I was making larger batches, so it broke on only the second day I actually used it. After the Brezza broke, I learned a lot.My advice it use the tools you already have in your kitchen and you'll be much happier. The ease of the Baby Brezza was great, but if you're making large batches of food you'll end up spending your entire day on it because you can only cook a small amount of food at a time with it. Instead, set up a large stock pot with a few cups of water, boil the water and set your veggies/fruits in a colander above the water (resting on the rim of the stock pot), and cover the colander. Let the food steam for a few minutes until tender, then pour it into a blender or food processor. This way you can cook large amounts of food and quickly move through everything you need to steam. This solution is MUCH cheaper and MUCH more efficient (and surprisingly less cleanup).

I got this product as a gift at my baby shower and I was thrilled. The first time I used it, it worked pretty well. The carrots, peas, and green beans didn't puree as fine as I would like and my baby gagged on them, I even doubled the cooking time just to be sure they were soft enough to blend! The second time I used it, when it came time to blend the food I heard a horribly loud sound and didn't blend at all. After I got the thing detached and turned it over I realized that there was a crack in the plastic where it attaches to the motor on the base. The motor was working, but it couldn't grab onto the plastic part because of the crack and it just stripped it. Until I find out if I can get a new plastic piece I will be using the Baby Brezza as an overpriced steamer and using my Ninja blender to blend the food. Oh, I also took all the carrots, peas, and green beans out of the freezer and re-blended them with the Ninja drink attachment and all of the chunks were gone and I had smooth creamy baby food.

I received this product for Christmas and I finally got a chance to try it out last night. I had the avocado and banana in there (softest food around, right?) and the blades wouldn't even spin. The white hexagon in the base is supposed to insert into the drive shaft to make the blades spin. It was this hexagon that wasn't turning, so I know it wasn't that I didn't have the blade in there right or anything.What peeved me the most was that the machine won't even turn on unless you have food in the container, so there's no way to try it out before making a big-a** mess. I realize that's probably a safety feature, but I can't tell you how irritating it was to have to take all the food out and clean the stupid thing when it didn't even work, and also I cut my finger on the blade when trying to do so (so at least those are sharp). I ended up mashing up the food by hand with the bottom of a drinking glass, mortar-and-pestal style, at 11:00 at night so my baby would have food to take to daycare this morning..The Brezza has a one year warranty, but after reading some bad reviews about the customer service at Baby Brezza I decided to just return it. At least Amazon customer service is awesome...I didn't have an order number or anything since it was gift, but I chatted with a live rep and they sent me a prepaid return label and I'm getting a gift card for the full purchase amount.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I was using this baby food maker for 2 months and I loved it. It was so easy to steam the food and then puree it in one machine. I used it almost every day and raved about it to friends. However, last week I noticed a small amount of black smudge on the drive shaft when I went to clean it. I really didn't think anything of it or I thought that it was from the banana I pureed because it had a bruise. Today I made a large batch of food and when I was done and went to clean the machine the entire drive shaft was coated with the black liquid. I now know that the black stuff is lubricating oil. Needless to say dumped the batch of food. I am so upset because I don't know if the oil got into any of my baby's past food. I had ordered it from One Step Ahead and they are giving me a full refund plus an extra $25 for my troubles. They tried to act like this was the first they've heard of this problem but I don't buy it. At least 15 other people on Amazon have complained of the same thing. Ugh. Don't take a chance on this one!

Received this as a Christmas present. Just like other reviewers noted, the item was never functional. The food was steamed, but the blade doesn't turn because the motor isn't engaging the turning knob. Not worth my time to fix a machine that never worked. Will get the Baby Cook instead.OK, update on this product. I found a blog by searching for the product name in Google and something like "blade doesn't turn" and found a fix-it explanation that worked great. Another review on Amazon also has the way to fix this. So after taking 15 minutes to find a good fix, and 10 minutes of taking apart, fixing the band that connects the motor to the blade axis, and putting it back together, the Brezza works great. We have made all kinds of foods in the Brezza including carrots, apples, broccoli, pears, peas. All these items streamed well and pureed well too. However, we still do yams and squash in our immersion blender because the brezza seems to have a little trouble with those items.I'd give it four stars but I took off one for the fact that I had to fix it upon arrival. I hope the company has indeed altered it's design to stop the bands from slipping off during shipping.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. After reading reviews for multiple baby food makers, we settled on this one because it was the most trusted and highest reviewed. After receiving it, carefully cleaning, and reading the instructions word for word, we were disappointed to find out that it does not work. Going back on Amazon and the Baby Brezza site for help, We realized that there are many recent reviews with the same problem. These reviews were posted AFTER we had ordered the item.I'm personally upset because even if the customer service for this product may be as wonderful as they say, receiving a defective product in the mail and getting help on it is both a waste of mine and the company's time. I feel like the last 2 hours of my day has been wasted preparing the food, waiting for it to steam, trouble shooting the blender, reading up about fixes online, and lastly calling customer service to only get a voicemail. I hope that this goes better for other parents. Good luck.UPDATE: I emailed baby brezza on Nov 7th and called them Nov 4th. They finally returned my call today (Nov 11), but I already returned the item because they took way to long to get back to me.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I really wanted to like this product. Even after all of my friends told me I didn't need a separate appliance to make babyfood (just use your food processor!), I went ahead and bought it. I had read the reviews and I knew that it wouldn't cook a lot at a time, so I wasn't expecting to make mass quantities of babyfood, just to make it easier to give my daughter whatever veggies we might be eating that night. Well I'm pretty dissapointed -- almost everything I've tried in isn't as cooked as it needs to be. I find the machine to puree the food when it's half raw, resulting in a lumpy mess. I've tried mixing the food with breastmilk and pureeing it further, and then it just tastes like raws veggies pureed with breast milk. Gross. I have also tried cooking the food for longer than the recommended times, but I guess the steam isn't strong enough, because it's never cooked enough. I've tried sweet potatoes, green beans and carrots, all with disastrous results. Lesson learned - next time I'm just going to cook the food in the oven or in a steamer and then throw it in the food processor.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. While I was waiting for my order to arrive, I used a steamer and a handmixer to make food for my baby. This was a pretty easy, hard to mess up process and I started having doubts whether or not I really needed a Baby Food Maker. Boy, was I wrong! The Baby Brezza saves me so much time!1. it steams faster than a regular steamer (I think it's because the space is so compact, the steam gets right to the veggies/fruits)2. I don't have to be around the kitchen after I fill up the container. Just set the time and walk away! And wait for the beeping sound. With the regular steamer, you'll have to set a timer or keep coming back regularly to the kitchen to check if the food is ready.3. The machine itself can automatically blend the food for you. Once again, you don't have to be around the kitchen after the food is steamed. Just stay away and wait for the beeping sound. With a regular steamer, the food has to be moved to the measuring cup before you can blend it with the handmixer (and wait for it to cool down).The accessories work perfectly along with the product. The machine is very easy to operate. I couldn't have asked for more...I'm happy!Yes, a regular steamer and handmixer can do the job too, but if you appreciate the freedom of not having to monitor the food being steamed or blend, buy the Baby Brezza!

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I just got my Baby Brezza. I was a little worried about the recent negative comments about the blades not dropping down into the 'blend' position after steaming. Guess what? Mine had the same problem. When I pressed 'Blend' I just got a high whining motor noise and no blender action. Not willing to give up so easily and play the Returns game I removed the five or six screws from the bottom, popped the top off, and immediately saw the problem. The problem is that the drive belt had slipped off the blender gear during transit, probably due to the way the Brezza is positioned in the box. I pushed the drive belt back onto the gear, closed it up, and now the blender works fine.My only complaint now is that it doesn't really puree very well. We ran a batch of carrots through it and it came out chunky. There were even several dime-sized pieces that I guess had gotten between the blades and were not chopped up at all. So like all food processors there is no escape from the 'open the top, scrape down the sides, and blend again' method if you want a true puree. I did pop the chunky carrots into my mini Cuisinart and (after several scrape/blend cycles) got a fine puree. One thing my Cuisinart has that the Baby Brezza doesn't is a 'Grind' option that basically runs the blades backwards so that they smash rather than slice. I think this really helped break up the tiny chunks. I wish the Brezza had the same.

I love to cook wholesome, homemade foods for my family so it made perfect sense when I decided to make my son's first foods rather than purchasing them ready-made. This task wasn't the easiest; having to steam in a pot, then swapping the (hot, mind you) fruits or veggies into the blender or food processor creating way too many dishes. An endeavor with the best intentions turned into several all-day affairs - not that it wasn't worth it.When it was my daughter's turn a few years later to start her first foods, I did my research into other options. I still wanted to make her foods from scratch as much as possible, but needed a better system than the multiple appliances I used the last time. Enter the Baby Brezza. i was remarkably impressed by the 5-star reviews as well as the introduction videos. I compared it to the Beaba Babycook machine and the Baby Brezza came out on top every time. I have been using it for the past 2 weeks and I am in LOVE with this machine. Easy prep, hearty steaming, smooth purees and easy clean up. Best of all, it allows me a lot more free time while still feeding my baby the best foods possible. Best part of all, it's under $100!Between this and any other system, I would choose this a million times over.

I research everything I buy! One thing I wanted was to make homemade babyfood. I spent weeks watching videos online and reading all I could. I made a list of everything I would need and marked videos to remember how to make each food. Then I found the Baby Brezza! I heard about the Babycook and thought about buying that one. However, the Baby Brezza has one button that not only steams the food, but then purees it automatically after it steams (Babycook does not)! As I write this review the steamer just stopped and started to puree..I am in the living room playing with my baby as the babyfood makes itself in the kitchen! All I had to do was buy the veggies and fruits (I bought organic) and then peeled, followed the steamer time in the recipe book it came with and that's it! This is a busy working moms dream! I just poured the puree into ice cube trays to freeze and I can't wait to feed them to my little one. I would HIGHLY recommend this product if you are at a loss of where to start and want something super easy. I bought organic carrots in a jar last week for 79 cents for 2.5 ounces. I did the math tonight and I was able to make organice sweet potatos for 14 cents for 2.5 ounces! Carrots would have probably been even cheaper! I know using kitchen gadgets I already owned would make it even cheaper, but since I bought it for convience and not for the cost, saving money is a bonus and it will pretty much pay for itself! And it was $50 cheaper than the Baby Cook. So happy! And my little one loves the baby food I have made so far!

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Update:Right after I posted my review. The blender stopped working!!!!!!!!!! No matter how I do it just does not blend or steam.I am contacting customer service now.I have been using it everyday since my twins turn 8 months (They are 11 months now). Overall it does great job steaming & blending.I know the bowl was really small and it was hard to remove the blades apart from driveshaft, it was also hard to cleanup. However quickly I figured some ways to solve these problems:(1) Cleaning: I figured a quick&easy way to clean the blades& bowl: I first soak the bowl, the lid and the blade in hot soapy water, then used an old Dr. Brown bottle brush to gently scrub them.(2) Removing blades: Unlock driveshaft first, then hold tight of driveshaft in one hand, then use the other hand to gently pull&shake&turn the the blade until it's loose. Most of the time there was still puree on the blade, I just used the spatula to scrape it off first before I completely remove the blade out of the bowl.(3) Bowl was too small: Well, I like the idea of it being so small that makes it easy to store away especially having a small kitchen. Sometimes I steamed vege using my rice cooker since vege shrunk so it would fit more in the blender. I ended up buying second set of bowl & blade so I don't have to keep washing the bowl&blade.(4) I do notice the plastic part of the blade started to turn brown/black, but I assumed it was stained from darker color fruit&vege like blueberry.(5) Noise: All food processors make some level of noise, but one of my twin always got freaked out everytime when it started to blend. I figured a ghetto way to reduce the noise, put a folded thick towel under the blender and another folded thick towel on top of the lid when I press blend. It can't cancel the noise, but it did help reduce the noise.

I gave this four stars because once I got it to work it was wonderful. Does everything it says it does and is very handy to have. BUT the problem was the same thing as everyone else, no drive shaft turning. I also took it apart (easy) and just attached the belt to the gear and it works like a charm. It's just too bad that they are losing customers because of some tiny malfunction because it is a BIG timesaver.. You would think they would try to fix the problem instead of letting their customers do it for them. If I hadn't read the review on how to fix it I would have been VERY dissatisfied with this. So I guess if you don't feel like taking a fifty fifty chance of it not working and don't want to have to fix something that is brand new, don't buy the baby Brezza.OK, now for an update. I've had this thing for about three months now and I use it about twice a week, maybe for four or five different things a day. Amonth ago I noticed a black liquid coming out of the drive shaft part when I took off the bowl. I have always washed that part by hand and never put it in the dishwasher. I guess this thing just isn't made to do what it's supposed to. Now the drive shaft is completely stuck, it won't turn at all. I also called Baby Brezza and no response. I am majorly P.O.'d. I also overlooked the blade sticking isuue because I just wanted to love this machine so much. But now I know it is truly a piece of junk and I never should have bothered. I fell in love with it because it worked so nicely and made everything so much simpler. I will truly miss you.....tear ;)

I have been using this device for the last three months. I feed my baby almost exclusively homemade foods (besides those my doctor recommends to buy in a jar), so I do use this quite a bit.It is easy to use and it is convenient. My only complaint is the construction. Some of the materials seem a little cheap (for example, the button panel is starting to come off...it is just a sticker). I'm already having to buy another container because the plastic broke on my first one. I called the company to talk to them about it (because it seemed fishy to me that it would break so quickly under normal use, and there is supposedly a warranty) and I got a machine (during normal business hours). No one returned my call. I truly think that any company who makes things for people with babies need to have excellent customer service because their customers are sleep deprived and short on time. This company doesn't even come close to meeting a high standard. I'd rather pay the $25 for the replacement part than deal with the hassle.So, basically, I like the device but I'm not crazy about the quality or customer service (the latter is basically non-existent at this point).All this being said, I researched several other machines before buying this one. I'm not sure I would go back and buy a different device. At least I can buy replacement parts easily!UPDATE: The replacement part didn't fit as it was a newer model than my machine. However, the customer service department did call me back and shipped me an entire new machine (newer model). Unfortunately, it still seems plauged with some problems. The drive shafts sometimes sticks and the buttons don't work very well. Ulimately, for me, not a worry-free machine.

I went in to this with a strong intent to make my own baby food. I did the research and decided on the Baby Brezza. I love it! It makes the homemade baby food process so easy. It is pricey and if you already have a food processor and want to steam your own food you could save $100 but I do not own a food processor. The Baby Brezza is so easy to use and clean up is a breeze. You can steam and puree your food in the same container. You don't have to babysit the Brezza while it is making the food. You can add ingredients and walk away. I make my food in bulk and freeze. My baby loves the fresh food I make for her. The only small issue I have had it that I tried washing the parts in the dishwasher and they didn't come completely clean. I just hand wash mine which is no big deal... I hand wash all the other baby stuff, anyway. If you are looking for an easy, convenient way to make your own baby food... look no further. I have only used this for a couple of weeks so I don't know how well it holds up overtime...

Just received this on Friday, have already made multiple batches of baby food with it and overall I love it. The only work required is to chop the veggies and add water, and this machine really does the rest. My only very minor complaints are 1) that the instructions are a big confusing (directions say to use 160ml of water, but the container is marked to measure 180ml, but after a few batches it was easy to eyeball how much you really needed) and 2) the blade is a bit hard to get out after it's finished to really get all of the food out (trial and error showed that you need to take the blade out while the cup is still attached to the base and then it's easy to get all of the puree out). Overall, however, the instructions are very easy to understand and the machine is easy to use and very efficient! I was able to make carrots, sweet potatoes and butternut squash purees over the course of a couple of hours while still getting other things done around the house. This will even be ideal for some single servings of adult foods like mashed potatoes. One butternut squash made multiple servings, so I think the savings do offset the cost of this machine over time.

I knew I wanted to feed my baby homemade nutritious meals and have a couple of great baby food cookbooks that I purchased. I know I could have used the items already in my kitchen to make baby food but I wanted one, easy, one-step machine that could do it all so I wasn't washing multiple pots/pans/steamers everytime I made baby food.The Brezza has made my life SOOOO easy! I can cook squash, peaches, pears, apples, sweet potatoes etc. and blend and reheat with this fantastic appliance. And it's small and convenient! I haven't had any mechanical issues with it (I've only had it for about a month) and it can get hot due to the steaming BUT this is like any pot or pan you'd use to steam. It just takes some common sense when you're using it.I can spend one day making big batches and freeze them in individual ice cube trays (with lids) and then be done with cooking baby food for a couple of weeks! This is an invaluable appliance to me, I highly recommend the Brezza. It makes cooking your own baby food a breeze (and super cheap!) and easy to do so you're not feeding your baby processed baby foods.

I have been using the brezza to make all of my daughter's baby food for about 2 months. I purchased mine several months ago from another site. Since day 1 I have been getting a "4 beep" alarm every time I start the steamer. It usually works after pressing the start button several times. It always blends the first time I press the button. Last night I got frustrated and steamed my veggies on the stove then used a food processor to blend...what a pain in the neck... I finally called customer service today and they said that I should have called 2 months ago, and they are sending me a new unit at no cost to me. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the new unit isn't as quirky as the last one because when it works it is very easy. Both the steam and blend functions work well and it is so nice to not have to transfer the food. Clean up is a breeze. It does have a small bowl but a batch still makes several portions. Babies don't eat that much ;-). After using the food processor, I would definetly recommend this or another appliance that steam and blend. In my experience this company stands behind their product.

I read review after review trying to decide which to buy...my son's nanny has used both now and she liked both but loves the baby breeza. It is quite a bit cheaper and she says there's really no difference except for the plastic insert that comes with the other babycook device. I have been extremely pleased with my purchase. I use the Breeza pretty much daily. It's fast & easy to make my son's organic baby food. The fact that you can select steam & blend is great because it does all the work once you chop up your veggies or fruit or whatever... you walk off and 15-20-25 mins later you come back to the kitchen and the food is steamed & blended already. And the instruction manual gives a great guide for how long to cook each fruit/veg and it also gives a guide on what foods baby can eat at 6 mos, 8 mos, 10mos, etc...i have it tacked on my frig and it's a quick & easy reference. This machine has been easy to clean for the most part.. My sweet potatoes stain the clear container a bit but that's nothing i couldn't scrub off. All in all a great purchase.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I recently purchased this item and have made 4 different recipes in it. I have three pointers for you.1. Use distilled water if you can, it will save you the hassle of having scale build up later on.2. Add extra water, especially on longer cook times (25m+). It seems like mine runs out of water in the middle of some recipes and then messes me up on cook time because it shuts off, and if I wasn't watching it, I don't know how much time is left!3. If you want a smooth puree for a younger baby, add 5 minutes to the suggested steam time. My first batch of carrots came out textured, and my 6 month old was not crazy about them. Next time, I did longer, and they were much smoother.All in all, I am very satisfied. It doesn't take up too much counter space. I love that I can make something all natural and homemade. One batch is enough for 3 to 4 feedings, especially if you are feeding different items (cereal, veggies, fruit). I do buy some organic baby foods in pouches, but if I am out of something, I can whip it up in a jiff from fresh produce or frozen. I plan on not buying any more store baby food in the future, except maybe to keep in the diaper bag for trips. You can make things you will never find in the grocery store. My daughter ate broccoli and spinach last night, with a touch of parsley. Today, I made carrots and parsnips. Before that, peas one day, sweet potatoes another, and carrots mixed with zucchini.Lastly, it's pretty easy to clean. Soak it when you are done, so the food doesn't get stuck on, and wash it as soon as you can. There are 3 or 4 parts to clean.

I bought this from a brick and mortar baby supply chain, and I was so excited to use it! I peeled, I chopped, I steamed and pureed. I was so happy! Then I realized it took me all day to make one regular sized batch of baby food. Still, it was so easy to just throw it in and walk away, so I kept making my baby food, one tiny batch at a time. Then, the fourth time I tried to use it, it would not steam. The start, stop, and steam buttons do not work. I'd had the machine less than a month. Then I noticed (as I was dumping out my unused water) that there was a bunch of metallic looking crap floating around in the water chamber. Unfortunatly the box had been thrown away otherwise I would have just taken it back to the store. I emailed customer service and about a week later received an email that said "please provide us with a number to reach you". By looking at some more recent reviews I can see I'm not the only one having a problem with their customer service. The idea behind this product is amazing, the product itself is garbage. I don't understand for the life of me why they couldn't make the blender cup bigger than a coffee cup. Even if this product had worked beautifully I would have eventually gotten tired of making tiny batches. I've been using my food processor and steaming on the stove in a pot. It's more to clean up but I can make a large batch of baby food in much less time. I wanted to love this thing, I really did. It's just not worth the money.

I LOVE this cookie. I have been eating these since I was a little baby! I was so sad when they were hard to find in the U.S. for a few years... but VERY excited when I saw them for sale at a grocery store a week ago!!! As for it being "bad" for you - honestly, you don't need to eat a whole bag! I have two and am content. There is no point being greedy - you're only hurting yourself.I think they taste better than Gnutella, and MUCH better than Hersheys crunchy wafers. These have a unique and fluffy taste, and whenever I am eating them, I am reminded of patisseries found overseas. They are especially tasty out of the fridge and without filling melting on your hands.*Update January 25, 2008:I finally bought the 25 package deal and they took a week to get to my front door (but it came along with the newly released HP#5 ). I used to munch on these as a little kid and then they went MIA for about a decade. The chocolate has a slightly different taste than what my taste buds are used to now but that's because they're not American, they're German cookies... obviously they're a bit different!! And as for nutritious value... come on now, they are cookies not fruit. All in all, I am very happy with them and will probably buy them again - you can't beat the $.40/packet price!

Bahlsen Hit Choco Sandwich Cookies, 5.3-Ounce Packages (Pack of 25)
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. There's little question that these cookies have the crumbly pastry-like taste associated with European biscuits in general, they're flaky good like a buttery crust, although not quite as rich and moist as Vienna's finest. The insides is moister; howver, replete with creamy soft chocolate flvor, almost pudding-like in consistency. However, your Honor, since there's a nutritional debate among these reviews, I'd like to enter into evidence the incontrovertible the facts right off this 5.3 ounce package OF "HITs" that I hold in my hand. Exhibit A.The following shows the amount and percent of the recommended daily allowance (rda) of one serving - that's two HIT cookies, or 27 grams--based on a 2,000 calorie/day diet.In one serving (two cookies (27 grams):Calories per serving: 140, total fat =7 grams (11%), Saturated fat=6 grams (29%), Cholesterol, 0 grams; sodium, 75 mg (3%); and 17 grams (6%) of carbohydrates, including 1 gram (3%) of dietary fiber and 9 grams of sugar--and two grams of protein. You also get 2% of the RDA of Calcium, and 4% of iron.Exhibit B:Compare this to "one serving" or two (28 grams) cookies of wheat-free/dairy free, mostly organic Newman O's (a somewhat healthier version of the classic OREO): Total fat (4.5 grams), Saturated fat (1.5 g). Trans fat (0 g), calories (130), sugar (10.0 grams), Total Carbohydrates, (31.5g), dietary fiber (1 g), protein (2 g), sodium (85 mg), no cholesterol, iron (8%).Nutritional conclusion (As always, consult your physician!):Newman's beats the pants off HIT in total fat, saturated fat (HIT has 4 times as much), twice as much of the RDA of iron but has over twice as many carbohydrates, and minimally more sugar and sodium.Style points:I can see Audrey Hepburn eating a HIT bar (without the bright wrapper) or something like it, served on a silver platter, with Italian coffee or perhaps some tea. I cannot see her, unless she's slumming it in "Roman Holiday" eating an Oreo, even one owned by an actor as great as Paul Newman. HIT cookies--loved by kids, suitable for the adult. Offered here at a great price; moveover, Amazon.com ships this free on eligible orders of $25 or more.

I'll start with something really important to me- the sell by date. I bought these cookies in January of 2010, and they are good until 9-2010, which is important to me, since I hate eating rancid food, so I just throw it out. I've always loved these cookies, and my market sells them for much more than the subscribe price, so I'm happy to subscribe and save. I love currants, and it's hard to find things flavored with them. I have to admit, the currant taste is not strong, but they are delicious anyway, and I love the puff pastry. Further, I'm allergic to GMO corn starch (genetically modified corn starch)- and just try to find cookies in US stores without corn starch (and 95% of all corn is modified in the US, and does not have to be labeled so). So these are a real treat for me- since they are a cookie I can actually eat.The cookies are flaky, as puff pastry always is, and slightly sweet. As other people have said, this is not a terribly sweet cookie, but it is quite sweet enough. I enjoy mine with tea, and I also take them in my lunch. If you take them in your lunch, put them in a little box- because they ARE delicate, and you might end up with delicious crumbs if you don't protect them. I know this because I squashed them once.

Bar Harbor Wild Smoked Kippers, 6.7 oz. (Pack of 12)
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I first ate sardines as a kid. My Dad had them all the time - snacks while watching football, Friday nights when his friends were over for poker. They were a staple on our family camping trips. I liked them then and I like them now although until recently I didn't eat them as much as I used to. I keep a can or two in the pantry and enjoy them now and then. Recently, I went to a gourmet food store and found Bar Harbor All Natural Smokes Wild Kippers. They were on sale so I bought a couple of cans. UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE! Comparing these to the regular sardines I grew up with is like comparing a 10 year old Kia to a brand new Lexus. The Bar Harbors are absolutely delicious! I just served these as an appetizer to some friends I had over for a BBQ. I opened a few cans and put the fish in the middle of a serving plate and surrounded it with a variety of crackers. My guests thought this was some kind of expensive imported smoked fish, they loved it and it disappeared quickly. If you have ever had sardines and enjoyed them then you will be extremely happy with these. It is hard to get over to that little gourmet grocery all the time, so I am very very very happy that I can order these on Amazon - and at a great price. Yes, Amazon's price is less than I pay at the gourmet store.

I've definitely had a stigma against canned anything (and still do). Picked this up at the supermarket, drawn by the all natural ingredients (for once no MSG or really anything else I didn't recognize). It's really quite good, and especially so for coming out of a can. I can have excellent clam chowder -- and with a little milk and butter, exactly to my liking -- warm within minutes. One of the few canned goods I keep in my cabinet, and one of the most convenient and surprisingly satisfying meals always 5 minutes away. Highly recommended.

I'm a little perplexed by all the great reviews. This was the most bland chowder I've ever had. I prepared it with just milk and a little butter, and it tasted like nothing! Added some salt and white pepper, still nothing. Added some black pepper and Provence herbs, now it tastes like herbed potato soup. On the plus side the clams were nice big chunks and the potatoes were tender. The consistency was pretty good too. It just had no flavor. Not going to be buying this again, certainly not when it's this expensive, too.

I've had better canned clam chowder. Bookbinders is one that comes to mind. I don't buy the ones with preservatives or a long list of ingredients, so my choice is limited. For this one, if I add just half a can of milk and a pat of butter, along with some extra sea salt, it's ok. The longer it is gently heated -- not simmered or boiled -- to let the flavors mingle, the better it becomes. More clams and potatoes would improve it. As it is, the ingredients were skimpy.

This is clearly the best canned clam chowder I have tasted. It is refreshing to have a canned soup without all the unnecessary preservatives and artificial flavoring. The can is supposed to be "Condensed", but if you like a hearty thick soup, it is better just heated without adding milk or water. The clams are perfect, and not over cooked. I will order again, and look forward to trying out some of the other products they have on Amazon.

Tried this yesterday as a "treat" on a cold, rainy fall night. It had an unpleasant, grainy and somewhat watery texture. The clams were actually sandy and gritty and the potatoes were kind of chalky, for lack of a better term. The flavor was also very lacking...it didn't really taste like, well, anything. Definitely not worth the price. I can only imagine the people who wrote the good reviews either work for Bar Harbor or have never tried any other kind of clam chowder.

We had high expectations for this product but the chowder was only average. Warming instructions are vague as to the amount of milk and/or butter to blend in with the soup mix. We found the flavor to be bland and one dimensional, even with as little as 1/2 cup of added whole milk. The package of six cans contained three dented cans. Two of them were severely dinged on the seamlines and had to be tossed. For this reason, we will no longer purchase can goods through the mail.

Unless you've got a clam roller somewhere on your property, I doubt seriously that you could whip-up a better bowl of chowder! The clams were tender, fresh, plentiful, and remarkably non-gritty. The 'taters' were tasty and not overly done. I would recommend that they cut-back a bit on the tapioca starch and add some medium cream, instead. I like to add some diced Vidalya onion or red bell pepper. Stir in some milk, butter, and black pepper, and you're on your way to a delightful meal.

Good flavor and not too rich--fewer fat calories than the standard fare. It's not loaded up with canola oil like Campbell's and Progresso, so you can add a little quality EVOO like California Olive Ranch, or even butter for a healthier brew if you prefer it that way like we do. I also add a little half and half, and saute some Hormel Bacon bits with red onion and garlic to add complexity to the flavor. I was impressed. I usually also add some Gorton's Wild Pacific Salmon (frozen, in most markets) to basically make it a healthy fish chowder.

I am a fan of Quaker Crunchy Corn Bran and have been having trouble finding it in stores for the past few years, so I was overjoyed when I found this cereal on the shelf of my local HEB. It sure looks like exactly the same cereal!Well...it isn't. I just finished a bowl of the stuff, and while it's not _bad_, it's not great either. These corn bran puffs are not as well-milled as the Quaker version, and it shows: I've got bits of fibrous "roughage" stuck in my teeth. They also don't absorb milk very well, which is good if you hate it when your cereal gets at all soft, but is kind of bad if you actually like it to soften just slightly without getting soggy -- something the Quaker Corn Bran did very well. These Puffins are also not as sweet -- I mean, I don't like super-sweet cereal, but I thought the Quaker variety hit that balance just right. With these, by the time I was halfway through the bowl I regretted not having added a tiny sprinkling of sugar.So, on the whole, Barbara's Puffins (Original) aren't terrible. They are a decent cereal. They are just not a good substitute for Quaker Crunchy Corn Bran, is all -- so if that's what you are looking for, just go ahead and order the real thing online.

I'll have to admit I am a big fan of organic items and also am a sucker for clever/cute packaging, so I brought these home tonight to give them a whirl. Delicious! These are not a thick animal cracker like nabisco, but a thin crunchy one. The peanut butter tastes just like a peanut butter cookie should and is not overly sweet. The package is 7.5 oz and carries 7 servings of 10 cookies for 150 calories (25 from fat). 1 g saturated fat, 2g fiber, 10 g sugar, 3g protein and 2% calcium, and 4% iron. All natural ingredients, with natural peanut butter, no hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, additives or preservatives. I would feel fine eating these or giving to a kid for a sweet snack. The first ingredients on the label? Organic unbleached flour and peanut butter.I'm very happy I tried these and will definitely try more of the other cookies in this brand's line.Overall a delicious product, well packaged in a convenient resealable bag. Perfect for car trips, home or office. Now you can indulge and feel slightly better about it!

If you plan on eating this as a cereal I have a one-word review: don't. It's bad - the apple and spice taste does not come through in a pleasant way. Alpen makes some good cereals, but this is not one of them.But it is pretty good for baking. I've used it in breads and cookies, and in both cases it worked very well. The apple taste works much better when combined with other ingredients. Basically, it's a replacement for recipes that call for rolled oats. As such, it adds better flavor and texture than just plain oats.The downside is that the caloric content is pretty high. A one cup serving has 210 calories, 30 of which are from fat. But, the fiber content is good, and it also has a decent amount of protein from the soy and is very low in sodium. The nutrition info is as follows:Serving size = 1 cupCalories = 210Calories from fat = 30Total fat = 3.5g (5%)Saturated fat = 0.5g (3%)No trans fatNo cholesterolSodium = 15mg (1%)Potassium = 230mg (7%)Total carb 38g (13%)Fiber 7g (28%) (2g soluble, 5g insoluble)Sugar 8gProtein 8g (13%)MDR: 0% for vitamin A, C; 6% calcium, 10% iron, 15% phosphorus, 15% magnesium, 8% zincTop ingredients: whole wheat, whole grain barley, rolled whole oat flakes, toasted soy nuggets, brown sugar, dehydrated apples, flax seed, dehydrated yogurt, [plus various flavorings]So, as a cereal 1 star. As a baking ingredient, 4 stars. Average it to 2.5, rounded up to 3.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I give this 5 stars if you like the taste of whole grain pasta... whole grain pasta has a pretty strong, distinctive flavor if you're used to regular ol' non-whole-grain pasta, and that flavor isn't hidden by this sauce. If you already know that you don't like the taste of whole grain pasta, these meals aren't for you. I'm a picky eater so I couldn't really get past the whole grain pasta, but my husband ended up eating all of it and he really liked it.This cooked quickly (which is great on lunch break!) and the sauce and the pasta cook separately, then you mix them together when they're hot. I like this preparation, as it kept the pasta from getting gummy. The pasta was nicely done, slightly chewy, and the sauce was good and there's plenty of it (other reviewers have said that there wasn't enough sauce, but that wasn't the case for me, and I like it saucy).This isn't really the most economical pasta & sauce lunch option, I'm sure getting a pound of pasta, cooking it, and adding a jar or two of pasta sauce would be cheaper, but these Barilla meals are about convenience. I'll buy a few of them and have my husband take them to work to keep in his desk, for those days when he forgets to grab his lunch bag from the kitchen counter on his way out the door in the morning.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. As long as you enjoy the dense heartiness of whole grain pasta--I prefer it--this is delicious. It has a whopping 11 grams of fiber, that's 44% of the Daily Value, which is partially achieved by the addition of oat fiber so it should be a good choice for people who want to lower their cholesterol. The field for tasty, healthful, vegetarian convenience foods is pretty sparse, so this is a welcome addition. Besides all the fiber, it's got 10 grams of protein, but with no legumes or dairy that protein isn't complete and you may want to add something with complementary amino acids to your meal. The calorie total is 320, so that something extra shouldn't wreck a diet.Because it's manufactured on equipment that processes food with eggs, vegans and people with an egg allergy may want to avoid this product. One negative is that the sodium is a little higher than I like to eat in a meal, 710mg, but for a prepared food that's not bad. Also, the film covering the tray was difficult for the starting-to-age joints in my hand to pull back so I had to enlist my boyfriend. It's a slightly tricky move too, because you are at risk of jolting the sauce out of its tray and onto the counter or floor, but I'm sure people with average dexterity will have no problem.

I've actually been eating these Barilla pasta bowls for a while. Yet, it wasn't until this Amazone Vine offering that I realized that these convenient lunches came in whole grain since my local grocery store does not carry them for some reason.These pasta bowls aren't by any means amazing, but they aren't bad for something you can just pop in the microwave for a minute and have lunch. It's perfectly portable for work, easy to make, better than many of the other microwaveable lunches I've had and -the best part -it doesn't require the freezer or refrigerator. And the whole grain pasta is considerably better than the regular pasta. The marinara sauce isn't bad either, and it actually has small pieces of veggies in it.The only problem I have with these bowls is that they just don't fill me up. I'm a small person, and I don't even eat a lot, but I could easily down two of these in one sitting without a problem. This bothers me because every other microwaveable lunch I've tried can fill me up without having to pack other lunch items. I guess this can be something of a personal preference, but I would rather just throw the pasta bowl in my bag and go instead of having to pack other items.

Barilla Italian Entrees, Vegetable Marinara Whole Grain Fusilli, 9 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. This is the second of these Barilla microwaveable pasta dishes I've tried, and I enjoyed it as much as the other (the penne with tomato and basil sauce).You store these meals at room temperature, yet they taste as good as any premium frozen pasta entrees I've ever tried.In addition, the manufacturer claims to use NO artificial ingredients or preservatives.I'm not sure what alchemy makes all this happen, but one secret of the superior flavor and texture of these pasta dishes lies in the packaging: the plastic pasta tray has a removeable "sub-tray" in the corner that holds the sauce separate from the pasta.This enables the pasta to remain al dente.Heating these dishes is very fast and easy as well. Just peel back a corner of the cover to vent the sauce and pop the dish in the microwave for sixty seconds.I'm also impressed to see that at Amazon's prices, these dishes aren't horribly exorbitant either. More expensive than Chef Boyardee in a can, but probably a bit less than a frozen entree.My only quibble is I really wouldn't call one of these dishes a "meal." The portion size is nominally 9 ounces, but I would consider this a light lunch at best -- and I would probably be starving by tea time.Nevertheless for pasta fans looking for a quick and delicious pasta fix, these Barilla dishes are definitely worth trying.PROS:* Great taste and texture.* Fast and easy to prepare.* Store at room temperature; no need to use up valuable freezer space.* All natural ingredients with NO preservatives.* Reasonably priced for the quality and convenience.CONS:* Portion a bit skimpy for a meal.* One must wonder if chemicals from the plastic cooking trays will leech into the food.

Baronet Coffee Decaf 100% Colombian Medium Roast (140 g), 18-Count Coffee Pods (Pack of 3)
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. My husband has been "Decaf" for 20 years. So for 20 years he has searched for a Decaf that tastes like REAL coffee. We use a Senseo Supreme (chrome look) coffee pod machine with 16 strength settings depending on pod holder, LED brew strenth, and cup size selections you use on the machine.After a 20 year search the Baronet 100% Columbian medium roast brought a smile back to his face. I use regular full roasts and I prefer the Baronet Izzy medium roast and also like the Baronet French Vannila pods. (more of a 'chick' blend) But do not let that fool you. If you want a bold coffee the dark or bold Baronet brands that our younger friends prefer are 'truck driver' approved. We keep them on hand for guests so buy the variety pack or a simple Dark Roast.These pods will work in your Senseo however if you buy the pods in the foil packs that come in the box (stay fresher) they are larger and you may need to use the 2 pod holder with a single pod if you have the black machine. However, one pod will 'mash' down ok in the one pod holder of the Supreme Senseo machine. Yes, that wonderfull foam froth is still there. Pods that come loose, 18 to a package, are the same size as the Senseo pods.

Baronet Coffee Dark Kenya AA Dark Roast (140 g), 18-Count Coffee Pods (Pack of 3)
Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I've ordered Baronet's Dark Kenya AA pods several times now, and just love the deep, rich cup of joe that my Senseo can extract from these. No complaints about the pods and their use with my machine. However...When I saw that the pods were now being offered in these smaller pouches instead of the wastefully overpackaged boxes, I was intrigued. My typical concern with these pouches is that if each pod typically isn't individually wrapped, they can grow stale if I don't move through them quickly enough. Since I saw in multiple places in the product description that these were still individually wrapped, I decided to check it out.Sadly, I must report that the staff at Amazon goofed on this product description big time. These pouches contain 18 loose pods that are not individually wrapped. While I love this coffee, I'll be switching back to the other packaging after I drink these up. Baronet, please don't get rid of the individually wrapped pods. In fact, it would be great if Amazon offered individually wrapped pods in bulk much like the Espressione 100% Arabica Coffee Pods, Box of 150 espresso pods.== UPDATE ==Here's another buyer beware note: although these are still packed 18 to a package, each pod has been downsized by 25%! With the Baronet Coffee Dark Roast Kenya AA Coffee Pods, 18-Count Box (Pack of 3), each pod is a nice and rotund 10 grams; this product shrinks each to a skimpy 7.5 grams (yet each of smaller pods in less packaging are less the two cents cheaper than the bigger ones. As such, each smaller pod isn't producing nearly as robust a mug (double-cup) of coffee as the other version of Baronet's Dark Roast Kenya AA pods. I guess I should have zoomed in all the way on the picture to read the fine print on the packaging (or pulled out my calculator to figure out how many grams were in 4.7 ounces).

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I will NOT purchase these coffee pods in the BAGs again. I WILL purchase this same coffee in a BOX where the pods are individually wrapped in sealed packets. The first thing I noticed about the coffee pods that I got in the bags was they had less coffee in them. Also, grounds had escaped from some of the pods and settled in the bottom of the bag. What a mess - so I had to throw most of those out. Check out the amount per pod that you get in the bagged coffee vs the boxed coffee. The bag states 140 g in 18 pods which is 7.7 per pod. The box states that the pods are 10 grams, which is a thicker pod and better coffee.Update on 6/6/12 - I should have stated that I have a Keurig machine that I have a holder for that the pods to fit in, instead of using K-cups. The 10 gram pods are just right for that and it costs a lot less to make coffee this way. I didn't know about the Senseo machine and that the smaller pods may work better for those. Thanks for pointing that out. Still, some of the pods in the bags were coming apart in the bags that I had purchased.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I will be brief: I have tried probably 25 or more different coffee pods since I got my Bunn My Cafe for my office. I am a bit of a coffee snob, so it took a lot of pride swallowing to go from grinding my own beans at work to a pod brewer.Having said that, Baronet has some real garbage out there, but they make up for all that with this little cheesy named gem. BEST. POD. EVER. It's bold, it's dark, BUT it's smooth as my one year old's butt! True sign of good coffee? Let it get completely cold in your cup, then drink. This one passes that test with flying colors (dark, rich brown to be exact).Highly recommended.I am taking time to praise this pod only because finally FINALLY I have found one that can actually beat my very messy, very time consuming, grind + measure + brew, traditional method I was using before. Most pods out there are way wayyyy too weak for me, or have so little coffee in them that you have to brew only half a cup to get some decent flavor. Not so here, boys and girls...this is the real deal... a full 12g of coffee in every pod!If you are a strong coffee freak like me, and have given in to compromise for the convenience of pods, also check out Coffee Artisan's new 12g pods...some of them are almost as good as this Blast. Their "Dark Side" "Extra Bold" pod is very similar to Blast, though not QUITE as good IMO).

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Initial Review: One StarPros: Amazon's delivery. I ordered this yesterday, and (with my Prime Membership), OnTrac delivery placed it on my doorstep today, Saturday! Thank you Amazon.Cons: Either this coffee is bad, or I just can't make it work. I've tried 4 approaches on my Senseo machine.It is almost the weight of two Senseo pods (unfortunately no longer sold on Amazon...why??), so I used the two pod holder (wouldn't fit in one pod holder). Coffee appeared to brew, i.e., the water ran through the machine fine. The result was not even close to passable.Here are the ways that I tried it, and the result (Senseo users will understand these terms):Right Brew Button, Two Bar Level: Far too weakRight Brew Button, One Bar Level: WeakLeft Brew Button, One Bar Level: Strong, quite bitterLeft Brew Button, Two Bar Level: Weak, bitter.So the moral of the story is: Don't order pods unless they are specifically designed for your machine. Since Amazon won't accept returns of any food product, I'm out the $23. At least let my loss stand as a lesson for others: avoid these if you have a Senseo. And if you do have the machine they fit, I suspect the coffee isn't that good.Message to Amazon: You sold me the coffee machine, why don't you sell Senseo brand pods anymore -- or something that specifically fits (7g pods).Update/Revision, One Day Later: Okay, since I'm stuck with these things, figured I wouldn't give up so easily. So I went back to the Senseo with these Pods. And I managed to make reasonably good (3 Star) coffee. Lesson Learned. Important Note for Senseo users vis a vis this (and I assume other) 12g pods:1. Make sure that you have the pod oriented with the correct side up/down.2. Use the Right Brew Button @ the One Bar Level. This will yield a tasty cup of coffee, but certainly not two-cup yield.I don't know if the cost/benefit vs. using 7 gram pods is reality, but bottom line: (revised)3 Stars.Moral of the story: Don't give up

First of all, it is wonderful to have these pods delivered to my door free of charge. On auto delivery, they are cheaper than the cheapest Senseo pods that I have found (Target/Walmart). But check out the weight of coffee per Senseo pod vs. this particular Baronet coffee pod. Not all Baronet pods are this weight, however, so check out the products carefully. I guess I had better mention that the coffee flavor is great! One order is for three boxes of these pods.

A complete waste of money. It all went in the garbage.

Alas, the sodium content is a bit higher than I like. Otherwise, very good. Gary Peterson

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 20 to 30 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. Baxters soups are usually very nice, but the lobster bisque is especially good. It tastes authentic, it has a good flavour, is creamy, and has just enough lobster bits to make it interesting. Add some fresh black pepper and a dash of brandy or sherry and it rivals soup served in a very good restaurant. It's also surprisingly low calorie. Though the nutrition info here says 130 calories for 8oz, the label actually says 120 calories, so even if you ate the whole can for lunch you would consume only about 220 calories.

This was actually a gift to my daughter (along with 3 cases of other Baxter's soups). She's of the opinion that Baxter's is absolutely the BEST canned soup on the Planet (of the soups she's tasted, which include the major American brands - she doesn't cook much). The Lobster Bisque rated just below Baxter's Scottish Smoked Salmon (which she rated the BEST EVER). (From my own perspective, and usually cooking my own food, I have to admit that the Baxter's soup line, for canned soup, is superior).

This is a great product, so it's no surprise that the local shelves are often cleared of it, especially early in the season. Purchasing in bulk through amazon.com is a dependable alternative. Bayer 2-in-1 in granular form feeds roses and flowers while protecting them with a systemic insecticide for up to 6 weeks, but you'll need a separate fungicidal/disease treatment, and the systemic would not be something one would apply to anything edible. Bayer assures me the product is safe for pollinators and earthworms.

Summarize the following Amazon reviews into 70 to 100 words while maintaining the user experience, and write it in first person perspective Also, find the overall sentiment of the following text, and show me the important aspects of the text. I have the Beaba baby food maker and two of the trays. I also use my food processor to make food. I have twins and make a lot of organic food to freeze. I freeze the food in the trays and then transfer then to FoodSaver bags so they never get freezer burned. The one thing I HATE about the trays is that they have a weird, unpleasant odor to them. The odor does not smell like the foods I stored in them. For the most part, I wash them by hand. I tried soaking them in vinegar and figured the steam from the dishwasher might help, but nothing gets rid of the odor. When I first got the trays, I had to run hot water over them to pop the food out.Now that I've been using them for a while, I can easily pop the food out without water. I do try to transfer the food as soon as possible b/c the seal on the trays is not perfect and freezer burn can happen if you let them sit for too long. I do feel the trays are overpriced. I have 2 trays and could easily use 2-4 more to freeze the batches I make. It's annoying to have to keep rotating the food to try to freeze it before it goes bad.

I bought this product because I needed freezer trays and was trying to use up the remainder of a gift card I had. Im glad that I had the gift card to go towards this product because I know that it is very expensive. here are the reasons that I enjoy this product:1) I use it often, every 3-6 days. If I think about it like that then I feel like Im really getting my moneys worth2) The silicone makes it not only easy to clean and durable but a breeze to pop food out without having to worry about breaking the device3) I like that it has a lid, and for the most part I really feel like they did the best that they could to make the lid fit on properly and snuggly4) The size of the cubes are perfect for my needs. they are a good helping size and I never need to feed my baby anymore at one sitting. I dont waste a lot of food, if any, and my baby doesnt leave wanting moresuggestions to this product and its use:1) I have a small freezer, its not standard size and therefore things freezer burn in my freezer at double the rate. Due to this issue that has nothing to do with the product, I overfill these cubes so that the top is touching the lid and no freezer burn is able to form before I can transfer them over into a freezer bag2) because the cubes are bigger I thaw them out the night before in my refridgerator so that by midday they are thawed all the way through and i can easy heat the food evenly from there.I gave this a four instead of five stars simply because they could have devised a snap lock lid system for the money they are charging and made this an overall outstanding item and also because the price point is a little high, Im sure that its not even close to that much money to put together some silicone! i think baby items should be reasonably priced so that even those that are a little less fortunate can enjoy quality baby products such as a way to freeze food.

I got these as gifts and absolutely love them. Yes, you can use ice cube trays to freeze baby food & other things but these are so much more convenient for me since they're = a jar of baby food, plus the reason I really love them is that I have continued to use them all the time after we were done with purees. I have 19 month old twins & made all their purees & continue to make a lot of their food and freeze things ahead for easy defrost & prep at the end of my work day when we get home & they're starving. I'm not sure why another person was trying to scoop the portions out with a spoon (?) but all you have to do is run hot water over the back side for about 30 sec and everything pops out no problem. I have the same issue w/ ice cube trays so I don't really understand the issue others have reported.So, in addition to purees, I have frozen things like the following in these to = 1/2 or full portion sizes for my kids (depending on how old they were, obviously I need to defrost more of them as they get older): risottos, ground beef/turkey, small meatballs & sauce, mac & cheese, small portions of elbow macaroni (when they were younger & couldn't eat as much), and anything else really that can be smooshed into the container. These are things that would not work in an ice cube tray & freezing in a million containers or one big one is not practical, at least for me.It's too bad they're not a little more affordable but I do think they're great.
