Despite being a type location for calc-alkalic and subduction volcanism, the Andean Volcanic Belt has a large range of volcano-tectonic settings, such as rift systems and extensional zones, transpersonal faults, subduction of mid-ocean ridges and seamount chains apart from a large range of crustal thicknesses and magma ascent paths, and different amount of crustal assimilations. -The Andes Mountains host large ore and salt deposits and some of their eastern fold and thrust belt acts as traps for commercially exploitable amounts of hydrocarbons. -The porphyry mineralization further benefited from the dry climate that let them largely out of the disturbing actions of meteoric water. -In the forelands of the Atacama desert some of the largest porphyry copper mineralizations occurs making Chile and Peru the first and second largest exporters of copper in the world. -The porphyry mineralization further benefited from the dry climate that let them largely out of the disturbing actions of meteoric water . -The dry climate in the central western Andes has also led to the creation of extensive saltpeter deposits which were extensively mined until the invention of synthetic nitrates. -The climate in the Andes varies greatly depending on latitude, altitude, and proximity to the sea. -The climate in the Andes varies greatly depending on latitude, altitude, and proximity to the sea . -The northern Andes are typically rainy and warm , with an average temperature of 18 °C (64 °F) in Colombia. -Rainforests exist just miles away from the snow-covered peak Cotopaxi. -Temperature, atmospheric pressure and humidity decrease in higher elevations . -The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade took place across the Atlantic Ocean from the 15th through to the 19th centuries. -The vast majority of those enslaved that were transported to the New World, many on the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, were West Africans from the central and western parts of the continent sold by other western Africans to western European slave traders, with a small minority being captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids, and brought to the Americas. -The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade took place across the Atlantic Ocean from the 15th through to the 19th centuries . -The vast majority of those enslaved that were transported to the New World, many on the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, were West Africans from the central and western parts of the continent sold by other western Africans to western European slave traders, with a small minority being captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids, and brought to the Americas. -The vast majority of those enslaved that were transported to the New World, many on the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, were West Africans from the central and western parts of the continent sold by other western Africans to western European slave traders , with a small minority being captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids, and brought to the Americas. -The Portuguese were the first to engage in the New World slave trade in the 16th century. -In 1526 , the Portuguese completed the first transatlantic slave voyage from Africa to the Americas, and other countries soon followed. - The first Africans imported to the English colonies were classified as " indentured servants ", like workers coming from England, and also as "apprentices for life". -As property, the people were considered merchandise or units of labour, and were sold at markets with other goods and services. -As property, the people were considered merchandise or units of labour, and were sold at markets with other goods and services. -Several had established outposts on the African coast where they purchased slaves from local African leaders. -Several had established outposts on the African coast where they purchased slaves from local African leaders . -These slaves were managed by a factor who was established on or near the coast to expedite the shipping of slaves to the New World . -These slaves were kept in a factory while awaiting shipment. -Current estimates are that about 12 million Africans were shipped across the Atlantic, although the number purchased by the traders is considerably higher. -For centuries, tidal currents had made ocean travel particularly difficult and risky for the ships that were then available, and as such there had been very little, if any, naval contact between the peoples living in these continents. -In the 15th century , however, new European developments in seafaring technologies meant that ships were better equipped to deal with the problem of tidal currents, and could begin traversing the Atlantic Ocean. -Between 1600 and 1800, approximately 300,000 sailors engaged in the slave trade visited West Africa. -Historian Pierre Chaunu termed the consequences of European navigation "disenclavement", with it marking an end of isolation for some societies and an increase in inter-societal contact for most others. -Historian Pierre Chaunu termed the consequences of European navigation "disenclavement", with it marking an end of isolation for some societies and an increase in inter-societal contact for most others. -Historian John Thornton noted, "A number of technical and geographical factors combined to make Europeans the most likely people to explore the Atlantic and develop its commerce". -Historian John Thornton noted, "A number of technical and geographical factors combined to make Europeans the most likely people to explore the Atlantic and develop its commerce". -In particular, European traders wanted to trade for gold , which could be found in western Africa, and also to find a naval route to "the Indies" (India), where they could trade for luxury goods such as spices without having to obtain these items from Middle Eastern Islamic traders. -He identified these as being the drive to find new and profitable commercial opportunities outside Europe as well as the desire to create an alternative trade network to that controlled by the Muslim Empire of the Middle East , which was viewed as a commercial, political and religious threat to European Christendom. -Historian John Thornton noted, "A number of technical and geographical factors combined to make Europeans the most likely people to explore the Atlantic and develop its commerce". -Meltzer's research puts this phase of the slave trade's overall mortality at 12.5% . -Around 2.2 million Africans died during these voyages where they were packed into tight, unsanitary spaces on ships for months at a time. -Meltzer 's -The slave traders would try to fit anywhere from 350 to 600 slaves on one ship. -The slave traders would try to fit anywhere from 350 to 600 slaves on one ship. -Raymond L.

Cohn, an economics professor whose research has focused on economic history and international migration, has researched the mortality rates among Africans during the voyages of the Atlantic slave trade . -He found that mortality rates decreased over the history of the slave trade, primarily because the length of time necessary for the voyage was declining. -"In the eighteenth century many slave voyages took at least 2½ months. -In the nineteenth century , 2 months appears to have been the maximum length of the voyage, and many voyages were far shorter. -The trade of enslaved Africans in the Atlantic has its origins in the explorations of Portuguese mariners down the coast of West Africa in the 15th century. -The trade of enslaved Africans in the Atlantic has its origins in the explorations of Portuguese mariners down the coast of West Africa in the 15th century. -The first Europeans to use enslaved Africans in the New World were the Spaniards , who sought auxiliaries for their conquest expeditions and labourers on islands such as Cuba and Hispaniola. -The first enslaved Africans arrived in Hispaniola in 1501 . -By 1630 , Africans had replaced the Tupani as the largest contingent of labour on Brazilian sugar plantations. -As Britain rose in naval power and settled continental North America and some islands of the West Indies, they became the leading slave traders. -At one stage the trade was the monopoly of the Royal Africa Company, operating out of London . -But, following the loss of the company's monopoly in 1689 , Bristol and Liverpool merchants became increasingly involved in the trade. -Birmingham , the largest gun-producing town in Britain at the time, supplied guns to be traded for slaves. -Birmingham, the largest gun-producing town in Britain at the time, supplied guns to be traded for slaves . -The first enslaved Africans to reach what would become the United States arrived in January 1526 as part of a Spanish attempt to colonize South Carolina near Jamestown. -Colombia received its first enslaved people in 1533 . -By November the 300 Spanish colonists were reduced to 100, and their slaves from 100 to 70[why?]. -El Salvador, Costa Rica and Florida began their stints in the slave trade in 1541, 1563 and 1581, respectively. -El Salvador , Costa Rica and Florida began their stints in the slave trade in 1541, 1563 and 1581, respectively. -For the rest of his life, William Wilberforce dedicated his life as a Member of the British Parliament to opposing the slave trade and working for the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire . -By an overwhelming 283 votes for to 16 against , the motion to abolish the Atlantic slave trade was carried in the House of Commons. -On 22 February 1807 , twenty years after he first began his crusade, and in the middle of Britain's war with France, Wilberforce and his team's labours were rewarded with victory. -On 22 February 1807 , twenty years after he first began his crusade, and in the middle of Britain's war with France, Wilberforce and his team's labours were rewarded with victory. -The United States acted to abolish the slave trade the same year, but not its internal slave trade which became the dominant character in American slavery until the 1860s . -The Guyanese historian Walter Rodney (1972) has argued that it was an unequal relationship, with Africans being forced into a "colonial" trade with the more economically developed Europeans, exchanging raw materials and human resources (i.e. slaves) for manufactured goods. -This idea of an unequal relationship was contested by John Thornton (1998), who argued that "the Atlantic slave trade was not nearly as critical to the African economy as these scholars believed" and that "African manufacturing [at this period] was more than capable of handling competition from preindustrial Europe". -He argued that it was this economic trade agreement dating back to the 16th century that led to Africa being underdeveloped in his own time. -However, Anne Bailey, commenting on Thornton's suggestion that Africans and Europeans were equal partners in the Atlantic slave trade , wrote: -The Guyanese historian Walter Rodney (1972) has argued that it was an unequal relationship, with Africans being forced into a "colonial" trade with the more economically developed Europeans, exchanging raw materials and human resources (i.e. slaves) for manufactured goods . -The First Atlantic system was the trade of enslaved Africans to, primarily, South American colonies of the Portuguese and Spanish empires; it accounted for slightly more than 3% of all Atlantic slave trade. -While the Portuguese were directly involved in trading enslaved peoples, the Spanish empire relied on the asiento system, awarding merchants (mostly from other countries) the license to trade enslaved people to their colonies . -It started (on a significant scale) in about 1502 and lasted until 1580 when Portugal was temporarily united with Spain. -The First Atlantic system was the trade of enslaved Africans to, primarily, South American colonies of the Portuguese and Spanish empire s;

In 1870 Portugal ended the last trade route with the Americas where the last country to import slaves was Brazil. -Africans played a direct role in the slave trade, selling their captives or prisoners of war to European buyers. -Sometimes criminals would be sold so that they could no longer commit crimes in that area . -King Jaja of Opobo , a former slave, refused to do business with the slavers completely.[citation needed] -Most other slaves were obtained from kidnappings , or through raids that occurred at gunpoint through joint ventures with the Europeans. -The prisoners and captives who were sold were usually from neighbouring or enemy ethnic groups .[citation needed] These captive slaves were considered "other", not part of the people of the ethnic group or "tribe" ; -The historian Walter Rodney contends that it was a decline in the profitability of the triangular trades that made it possible for certain basic human sentiments to be asserted at the decision-making level in a number of European countries- Britain being the most crucial because it was the greatest carrier of African captives across the Atlantic. -In 1809 President James Madison outlawed the slave trade with the United States. -The historian Walter Rodney contends that it was a decline in the profitability of the triangular trades that made it possible for certain basic human sentiments to be asserted at the decision-making level in a number of European countries- -Rodney states that changes in productivity, technology and patterns of exchange in Europe and the Americas informed the decision by the British to end their participation in the trade in 1807. -In 1809 President James Madison outlawed the slave trade with the United States. -Nevertheless, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri argue that it was neither a matter of strictly economics nor of morals. First, because slavery was (in practice) still beneficial to capitalism, providing not only influx of capital, but also disciplining hardship into workers (a form of "apprenticeship" to the capitalist industrial plant). -Although moral arguments did play a secondary role , it usually had major resonance when used as a strategy to undercut competitors' profits. -The most important of those being the Haitian Revolution. The shock of this revolution in 1804, certainly introduces an essential political argument into the end of slavery trade, which happen only three years later. -The more "recent" argument of a "moral shift" (the basis of the previous lines of this article) is described by Hardt and Negri as an "ideological" apparatus in order to eliminate the sentiment of guilt in western society.

The slave trade was therefore a means for some African elite to gain economic advantages. - Thus, as African scholar John Thornton argues, African leaders who allowed the continuation of the slave trade likely derived an economic benefit from selling their subjects to Europeans. -The benefit derived from trading slaves for European goods was enough to make the Kingdom of Benin rejoin the trans-Atlantic slave trade after centuries of non-participation. -With the exception of Portuguese controlled Angola, coastal African leaders "generally controlled access to their coasts, and were able to prevent direct enslavement of their subjects and citizens." -Because the negative effects of slavery on the economies of Africa have been well documented, namely the significant decline in population, some African rulers likely saw an economic benefit from trading their subjects with European slave traders.

-A database compiled in the late 1990s put the figure for the transatlantic slave trade at more than 11 million people . -Estimates by Patrick Manning are that about 12 million slaves entered the Atlantic trade between the 16th and 19th century, but about 1.5 million died on board ship. -Manning estimates that 4 million died inside Africa after capture, and many more died young. -About 10.5 million slaves arrived in the Americas. -According to Dr Kimani Nehusi, the presence of European slavers affected the way in which the legal code in African societies responded to offenders. -Crimes

Thornton, Europeans usually bought enslaved people who were captured in endemic warfare between African states . -Some Africans had made a business out of capturing Africans from neighboring ethnic groups or war captives and selling them. A reminder of this practice is documented in the Slave Trade Debates of England in the early 19th century: "All the old writers... concur in stating not only that wars are entered into for the sole purpose of making slaves, but that they are fomented by Europeans, with a view to that object." -However, the European demand for slaves provided a large new market for the already existing trade. -While those held in slavery in their own region of Africa might hope to escape, those shipped away had little chance of returning to Africa. -A reminder of this practice is documented in the Slave Trade Debates of England in the early 19th century: "All the old writers... concur in stating not only that wars are entered into for the sole purpose of making slaves, but that they are fomented by Europeans , with a view to that object." -Upon discovering new lands through their naval explorations , European colonisers soon began to migrate to and settle in lands outside their native continent. -Off the coast of Africa, European migrants, under the directions of the Kingdom of Castile, invaded and colonised the Canary Islands during the 15th century, where they converted much of the land to the production of wine and sugar. -Off the coast of Africa, European migrants, under the directions of the Kingdom of Castile, invaded and colonised the Canary Islands during the 15th century , where they converted much of the land to the production of wine and sugar. -Along with this, they also captured native Canary Islanders, the Guanches, to use as slaves both on the Islands and across the Christian Mediterranean. -Off the coast of Africa, European migrants, under the directions of the Kingdom of Castile, invaded and colonised the Canary Islands during the 15th century, where they converted much of the land to the production of wine and sugar. Along with this, they also captured native Canary Islanders, the Guanches, to use as slaves both on the Islands and across the Christian Mediterranean. -As historian John Thornton remarked, "the actual motivation for European expansion and for navigational breakthroughs was little more than to exploit the opportunity for immediate profits made by raiding and the seizure or purchase of trade commodities" . -Using the Canary Islands as a naval base, European, at the time primarily Portuguese traders , began to move their activities down the western coast of Africa, performing raids in which slaves would be captured to be later sold in the Mediterranean. -Using the Canary Islands as a naval base , European, at the time primarily Portuguese traders, began to move their activities down the western coast of Africa, performing raids in which slaves would be captured to be later sold in the Mediterranean. -Although initially successful in this venture, "it was not long before African naval forces were alerted to the new dangers , and the Portuguese [raiding] ships began to meet strong and effective resistance", with the crews of several of them being killed by African sailors, whose boats were better equipped at traversing the west African coasts and river systems. -Although initially successful in this venture, "it was not long before African naval forces were

between their respective peoples, enabling the Portuguese to "tap into" the "well-developed commercial economy in Africa... without engaging in hostilities". -In 1571 Portugal, supported by the Kingdom of Kongo , took control of the south-western region of Angola in order to secure its threatened economic interest in the area. -For instance Portuguese traders attempted to conquer the Bissagos Islands in 1535. -In 1525, the Kongolese king, Afonso I , seized a French vessel and its crew for illegally trading on his coast. -In 1571 Portugal, supported by the Kingdom of Kongo, took control of the south-western region of Angola in order to secure its threatened economic interest in the area. -Other researchers and historians have strongly contested what has come to be referred to as the “Williams thesis” in academia. -David Richardson has concluded that the profits from the slave trade amounted to less than 1% of domestic investment in Britain. -Economic historian Stanley Engerman finds that even without subtracting the associated costs of the slave trade (e.g., shipping costs, slave mortality, mortality of British people in Africa, defense costs) or reinvestment of profits back into the slave trade, the total profits from the slave trade and of West Indian plantations amounted to less than 5% of the British economy during any year of the Industrial Revolution. -Historian Richard Pares, in an article written before Williams’ book, dismisses the influence of wealth generated from the West Indian plantations upon the financing of the Industrial Revolution, stating that whatever substantial flow of investment from West Indian profits into industry there was occurred after emancipation, not before. -Economic historian Stanley Engerman finds that even

that the export of so many people had been a demographic disaster and had left Africa permanently disadvantaged when compared to other parts of the world, and largely explains the continent's continued poverty. -Walter Rodney argued that the export of so many people had been a demographic disaster and had left Africa permanently disadvantaged when compared to other parts of the world, and largely explains the continent's continued poverty. -He presented numbers showing that Africa's population stagnated during this period , while that of Europe and Asia grew dramatically. -According to Rodney, all other areas of the economy were disrupted by the slave trade as the top merchants abandoned traditional industries to pursue slaving, and the lower levels of the population were disrupted by the slaving itself. -According to Rodney, all other areas of the economy were disrupted by the slave trade as the top merchants abandoned traditional industries to pursue slaving, and the lower

Inikori argues, the history of the region shows that the effects were still quite deleterious. -He argues that the African economic model of the period was very different from the European, and could not sustain such population losses . -Inikori also notes that after the suppression of the slave trade Africa's population almost immediately began to rapidly increase, even prior to the introduction of modern medicines. -Inikori also notes that after the suppression of the slave trade Africa's population almost immediately began to rapidly increase, even prior to the introduction of modern medicines . -Population reductions in certain areas also led to widespread problems . -Opposition to the trade was led by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and establishment Evangelicals such as William Wilberforce. -Denmark , which had been active in the slave trade, was the first country to ban the trade through legislation in 1792, which took effect in 1803. -Britain banned the slave trade in 1807, imposing stiff fines for any slave found aboard a British ship (see Slave Trade Act 1807). -The United States Congress passed the Slave Trade Act of 1794 , which prohibited the building or outfitting of ships in the U.S. for use in the slave trade. -Britain banned the slave trade in 1807 , imposing stiff fines for any slave found aboard a British ship (see Slave Trade Act 1807). -In the very elderly, age-related large artery pulsatility and stiffness is more pronounced among women than men. This may be caused by the women's smaller body size and arterial dimensions which are independent of menopause. -This may be caused by the women's smaller body size and arterial dimensions which are independent of menopause. -Among men and women, there are notable differences in body weight, height, body fat distribution, heart rate, stroke volume, and arterial compliance . -In the very elderly , age-related large artery pulsatility and stiffness is more pronounced among women than men. -This may be caused by the women's smaller body size and arterial dimensions which are independent of menopause . -Cigarettes are the major form of smoked tobacco. -Risks to health from tobacco use result not only from direct consumption of tobacco, but also from exposure to second-hand smoke. Approximately 10% of cardiovascular disease is attributed to smoking; however, people who quit smoking by age 30 have almost as low a risk of death as never smokers. -Approximately 10% of cardiovascular disease is attributed to smoking; however, people who quit smoking by age 30 have almost as low a risk of death as never smokers. -Approximately 10% of cardiovascular disease is attributed to smoking; however, people who quit smoking by age 30 have almost as low a risk of death as never smokers. -Risks to health from tobacco use result not only from direct consumption of tobacco , but also from exposure to second-hand smoke. -A diet high in fruits and vegetables decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease and death. -The DASH diet (high in nuts, fish, fruits and vegetables, and low in sweets, red meat and fat) has been shown to reduce blood pressure, lower total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol and improve metabolic syndrome; but the long-term benefits outside the context of a clinical trial have been questioned. -A high fiber diet appears to lower the risk. -There is also evidence that a Mediterranean diet may be more effective than a low-fat diet in bringing about long-term changes to cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., lower cholesterol level and blood pressure). -The DASH diet (high in nuts, fish, fruits and vegetables, and low in sweets, red meat and fat) has been shown to reduce blood pressure, lower total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol and improve metabolic syndrome ; but the long-term benefits outside the context of a clinical trial have been questioned. -Insufficient physical activity ( defined as less than 5 x 30 minutes of moderate activity per week, or less than 3 x 20 minutes of vigorous activity per week ) is currently the fourth leading risk factor for mortality worldwide. -Insufficient physical activity (defined as less than 5 x 30 minutes of moderate activity per week, or less than 3 x 20 minutes of vigorous activity per week) is currently the fourth leading risk factor for mortality worldwide. - In 2008, 31.3% of adults aged 15 or older (28.2% men and 34.4% women) were insufficiently physically active. - .The risk of ischemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus is reduced by almost a third in adults who participate in 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week (or equivalent). -In addition, physical activity assists weight loss and improves blood glucose control, blood pressure, lipid profile and insulin sensitivity . -High dietary intakes of saturated fat, trans-fats and salt, and low intake of fruits, vegetables and fish are linked to cardiovascular risk, although whether all these associations are a cause is disputed. -The World Health Organization attributes approximately 1.7 million deaths worldwide to low fruit and vegetable consumption. -Frequent consumption of high-energy foods, such as processed foods that are high in fats and sugars, promotes obesity and may increase cardiovascular risk. -. There is evidence that higher consumption of sugar is associated with higher blood pressure and unfavorable blood lipids , and sugar intake also increases the risk of diabetes mellitus. -High consumption of processed meats is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, possibly in part due to increased dietary salt intake. -Total fat intake does not appear to be an important risk factor . -Worldwide, dietary guidelines recommend a reduction in saturated fat . -A 2013 meta analysis concludes that substitution with omega 6 linoleic acid (a type of unsaturated fat) may increase cardiovascular risk. -Benefits from replacement with polyunsaturated fat appears greatest; however, supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids (a type of polysaturated fat) does not appear to have an effect . -Replacement of saturated fats with carbohydrates does not change or may increase risk.

Overall alcohol consumption at the population level is associated with multiple health risks that exceed any potential benefits. -There is a direct relationship between high levels of alcohol consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease. Drinking at low levels without episodes of heavy drinking may be associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. -The relationship between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease is complex , and may depend on the amount of alcohol consumed. -In addition, the review suggested that a low-salt diet may be harmful in those with congestive heart failure . -However, the review was criticized in particular for not excluding a trial in heart failure where people had low-salt and -water levels due to diuretics. When this study is left out, the rest of the trials show a trend to benefit. -Moderate evidence was found that high salt intake increases cardiovascular mortality ; and some evidence was found for an increase in overall mortality, strokes, and left ventricular hypertrophy. -Another review of dietary salt concluded that there is strong evidence that high dietary salt intake increases blood pressure and worsens hypertension , and that it increases the number of cardiovascular disease events; the latter happen both through the increased blood pressure and, quite likely, through other mechanisms. -Aspirin has been found to be of only modest benefit in those at low risk of heart disease as the risk of serious bleeding is almost equal to the benefit with respect to cardiovascular problems. -In those at really low risk it is not recommended . -Aspirin has been found to be of only modest benefit in those at low risk of heart disease as the risk of serious bleeding is almost equal to the benefit with respect to cardiovascular problems. -Statins are effective in preventing further cardiovascular disease in people with a history of cardiovascular disease . -As the event rate is higher in men than in women , the decrease in events is more easily seen in men than women. -In those without cardiovascular disease but risk factors statins appear to also be beneficial with a decrease in the risk of death and further heart disease . -A United States guideline recommends statins in those who have a 12% or greater risk of cardiovascular disease over the next ten years. -Age is by far the most important risk factor in developing cardiovascular or heart diseases, with approximately a tripling of risk with each decade of life. -It is estimated that 82 percent of people who die of coronary heart disease are 65 and older. -Age is by far the most important risk factor in developing cardiovascular or heart diseases, with approximately a tripling of risk with each decade of life. - Coronary fatty streaks can begin to form in adolescence. -At the same time, the risk of stroke doubles every decade after age 55 . -Multiple explanations have been proposed to explain why age increases the risk of cardiovascular/heart diseases . -Multiple explanations have been proposed to explain why age increases the risk of cardiovascular/heart diseases. -In men, this increase levels off around age 45 to 50 years. -In women, the increase continues sharply until age 60 to 65 years. -In most populations, the serum total cholesterol level increases as age increases. -Aging is also associated with changes in the mechanical and structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity and reduced arterial compliance and may subsequently lead to coronary artery disease. -Aging is also associated with changes in the mechanical and structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity and reduced arterial compliance and may subsequently lead to coronary artery disease. -Aging is also associated with changes in the mechanical and structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity and reduced arterial compliance and may subsequently lead to coronary artery disease. -Aging is also associated with changes in the mechanical and structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity and reduced arterial compliance and may subsequently lead to coronary artery disease. -Aging is also associated with changes in the mechanical and structural properties of the vascular wall, which leads to the loss of arterial elasticity and reduced arterial compliance and may subsequently lead to coronary artery disease . -Men are at greater risk of heart disease than pre-menopausal women. -Men are at greater risk of heart disease than pre-menopausal women . -Once past menopause , it has been argued that a woman's risk is similar to a man's although more recent data from the WHO and UN disputes this. -If a female has diabetes, she is more likely to develop heart disease than a male with diabetes. -If a fe male has diabetes, she is more likely to develop heart disease than a male with diabetes. -Cardiovascular disease affects low- and middle-income countries even more than high-income countries. -Policies that have resulted in increased socio-economic inequalities have been associated with greater subsequent socio-economic differences in cardiovascular disease implying a cause and effect relationship . -There is relatively little information regarding social patterns of cardiovascular disease within low- and middle-income countries, but within high-income countries low income and low educational status are consistently associated with greater risk of cardiovascular disease. -. The Commission on Social Determinants of Health recommended that more equal distributions of power, wealth, education, housing, environmental factors, nutrition, and health care were needed to address inequalities in cardiovascular disease and non-communicable diseases. -.

constructed squatter buildings. -The Turkish government also has ambitious plans for an expansion of the city west and northwards on the European side in conjunction with plans for a third airport and the city's Olympic bid; the new parts of the city will include four different settlements with specified urban functions, housing 1.5 million people . -But it also is done through deregulation, the abolition of restrictions on businesses competing with government services, for example, postal services, schools, garbage collection . -Economic decentralization can be done through privatization of public owned functions and businesses , as described briefly above. -Even as private companies and corporations have worked to have such services contracted out to or privatized by them, others have worked to have these turned over to non-profit organizations or associations, -Even as private companies and corporations have worked to have such services contracted out to or privatized by them,

lines, increasing consumer choice, while an actual increase in regulators and regulations forced banks to do business the way central government regulators commanded, including making loans to individuals incapable of repaying them, leading eventually to the financial crisis of 2007–2008 .[unreliable source?] -Some argue that government standardisation in areas from commodity market, inspection and testing procurement bidding, Building codes, professional and vocational education, trade certification, safety, etc. are necessary.[citation needed] Emmanuelle Auriol and Michel Benaim write about the "comparative.benefits" of decentralization versus government regulation in the setting of standards. -They find that while there may be a need for public regulation if public safety is at stake , private creation of standards usually is better because "regulators or 'experts' might misrepresent consumers' tastes and needs." -They find that while there may be a need for public

According to Bruce M. Owen , this does not mean that all firms themselves have to be equally decentralized. -Hence, goods and services are produced and sold by firms with various degrees of horizontal and vertical integration." -Much of the time, markets work very efficiently , but there is a variety of conditions under which firms do better. -When it does not, he writes regulation may be necessary. -Additionally, he writes that the "economic incentive to expand horizontally or vertically is usually, but not always , compatible with the social interest in maximizing long-run consumer welfare." -Accordingly, libertarian socialists believe that " the exercise of power in any institutionalized form—whether economic, political, religious, or sexual—brutalizes both the wielder of power and the one over whom it is exercised". -Libertarian socialism tends to deny the legitimacy of most forms of economically significant private property , viewing capitalist property relations as forms of domination that are antagonistic to individual freedom. -Libertarian socialists generally place their hopes in decentralized means of direct democracy such as libertarian municipalism, citizens' assemblies, or workers' councils. -Libertarian socialism tends to deny the legitimacy of most forms of economically significant private property, viewing capitalist property relations as forms of domination that are antagonistic to individual freedom. -Libertarian socialists are strongly critical of coercive institutions, which often leads them to reject the legitimacy of the state in favor of anarchism . -"Appropriate technology", originally described as "intermediate technology" by economist E. F. Schumacher in Small is Beautiful, is generally recognized as encompassing technologies that are small-scale, decentralized, labor-intensive, energy-efficient, environmentally sound, and locally controlled. -A related concept is "design for the other 90 percent" - low-cost solutions for the great majority of the world's low income people. -Even developed countries developed appropriate technologies, as did the United States in 1977 when it created the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT), though funding later dropped off. -It is most commonly discussed as an alternative to transfers of capital-intensive technology from industrialized nations to developing countries. -"Appropriate technology", originally described as "intermediate technology" by economist E. F. Schumacher in Small is Beautiful, is generally recognized as encompassing technologies that are small-scale, decentralized, labor-intensive, energy-efficient, environmentally sound, and locally controlled. -Political philosophies commonly described as libertarian socialist include most varieties of anarchism (especially anarchist communism, anarchist collectivism, anarcho-syndicalism, and mutualism) as well as autonomism, communalism, participism, libertarian Marxist philosophies such as council communism and Luxemburgism, and some versions of "utopian socialism" and individualist anarchism. -For Murray Bookchin "In the modern world, anarchism first appeared as a movement of the peasantry and yeomanry against declining feudal institutions. -In Germany its foremost spokesman during the Peasant Wars was Thomas Muenzer ; in England, Gerrard Winstanley, a leading participant in the Digger movement. -In Germany its foremost spokesman during the Peasant Wars was Thomas Muenzer; in England, Gerrard Winstanley , a leading participant in the Digger movement. -The term "anarchist" first entered the English language in 1642 , during the English Civil War, as a term of abuse, used by Royalists against their Roundhead opponents. -For Proudhon, mutualism involved creating "industrial democracy," a system where workplaces would be "handed over to democratically organised workers' associations . . . -For Proudhon, mutualism involved creating "industrial democracy," a system where workplaces would be "handed over to democratically organised workers' associations . -Peter Kropotkin thus suggested that "Representative government has accomplished its historical mission; it has given a mortal blow to court-rule; and by its debates it has awakened public interest in public questions. -When the First Spanish Republic was established in 1873 after the abdication of King Amadeo, the first president, Estanislao Figueras , named Francesc Pi i Margall Minister of the Interior. -When the First Spanish Republic was established in 1873 after the abdication of King Amadeo, the first president, Estanislao Figueras, named Francesc Pi i Margall Minister of the Interior. -Historian Gabriel Kolko in his book The Triumph of Conservatism argued that in the first decade of the 20th century businesses were highly decentralized and competitive, with new businesses constantly entering existing industries. -The largest firms turned to the power of the state and working with leaders like United States Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft and Woodrow Wilson passed as "progressive reforms" centralizing laws like The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 that gave control of the monetary system to the wealthiest bankers; the formation of monopoly "public utilities" that made competition with those monopolies illegal; federal inspection of meat packers biased against small companies; extending Interstate Commerce Commission to regulating telephone companies and keeping rates high to benefit AT&T; and using the Sherman Anti-trust Act against companies which might combine to threaten larger or monopoly companies. -This also was true in banking and finance, which saw decentralization as leading to instability as state and local banks competed with the big New York City firms . -The largest firms turned to the power of the state and working with leaders like United States Presidents Theodore Roosevelt , William H.

inadequate financial resources available to perform new local responsibilities, especially in the start-up phase when they are most needed; or inequitable distribution of resources. -Decentralization can make national policy coordination too complex ; it may allow local elites to capture functions; local cooperation maybe undermined by any distrust between private and public sectors; decentralization may result in higher enforcement costs and conflict for resources if there is no higher level of authority. -Decentralization can make national policy coordination too complex;

emphasize and resource availability lead inevitably to a more decentralized system. -.A variation on this is "inadvertent decentralization", when other policy innovations produce an unintended decentralization of power and resources. -In both China and Russia , lower level authorities attained greater powers than intended by central authorities. -Decentralization may be uneven and " asymmetric " given any one country's population, political, ethnic and other forms of diversity. -In many countries, political, economic and administrative responsibilities may be decentralized to the larger urban areas, while rural areas are administered by the central government. -Decentralization of responsibilities to provinces may be limited only to those provinces or states which want or are

government won control of the Senate in 2005 , it sparked a debate about the effectiveness of the Senate in holding the government of the day accountable for its actions. -The vigour of this scrutiny has been fuelled for many years by the fact that the party in government has seldom had a majority in the Senate. -When the Howard government won control of the Senate in 2005, it sparked a debate

floor by senators since the conservative government took office in 1996 : Gary Humphries on civil unions in the Australian Capital Territory, and Barnaby Joyce on voluntary student unionism. -The controversy that surrounded these examples demonstrated both the importance of backbenchers in party policy deliberations and the limitations to their power to influence outcomes in the Senate chamber. -A more significant potential instance of floor crossing was averted when the government withdrew its Migration Amendment (Designated Unauthorised Arrivals) Bill, of which several government senators had been critical, and which would have been defeated had it proceeded to the vote. -A more significant potential instance of floor crossing was averted when the government withdrew its

The FIO is authorized to monitor all aspects of the insurance industry and identify any gaps in the state-based regulatory system. -An important artifact of the state-based insurance regulation system in the United States is the dichotomy between admitted and surplus insurers. Insurers in the U.S. may be "admitted", meaning that they have been formally admitted to a state's insurance market by the state insurance commissioner, and are subject to various state laws governing organization, capitalization, policy forms, and claims handling. - Insurers in the U.S. may be "admitted", meaning that they have been formally admitted to a state's insurance market by the state insurance commissioner , and are subject to various state laws governing organization, capitalization, policy forms, and claims handling. - Or they may be "surplus", meaning that they are nonadmitted in a particular state but are willing to write coverage there. Surplus line insurers are supposed to underwrite only very unusual or difficult-to-insure risks. - Surplus line insurers are supposed to underwrite only very unusual or difficult-to-insure risks. Although experienced insurance brokers are well aware of what risks an admitted insurer will not accept, they must document a ritual of actually shopping around a risk to several admitted insurers (who will reject it, of course) before applying for coverage with a surplus line insurer. -To relieve insurers and brokers of that tedious and time-consuming chore, many states (with the notable exception of Texas) now maintain "export lists" of risks that the state insurance commissioner has already identified as having no coverage available whatsoever from any admitted insurer in the state. -To relieve insurers and brokers of that tedious and time-consuming chore, many states (with the notable exception of Texas ) now maintain "export lists" of risks that the state insurance commissioner has already identified as having no coverage available whatsoever from any admitted insurer in the state. - In turn, brokers presented by clients with those risks can immediately "export" them to the out-of-state surplus market and apply directly to surplus line insurers without having to first document multiple attempts to present the risk to admitted insurers. -To relieve insurers and brokers of that tedious and time-consuming chore, many states (with the notable exception of Texas) now maintain "export lists" of risks that the state insurance commissioner has already identified as having no coverage available whatsoever from any admitted insurer in the state.

The problem is that the free variable x of t became bound during the substitution. The intended replacement can be obtained by renaming the bound variable x of φ to something else, say z, so that the formula after substitution is ....∃.z.(.z -The intended replacement can be obtained by renaming the bound variable x of φ to something else, say z , so that the formula after substitution is ....∃.z.(.z.=.x.+.1.)...{\displaystyle \exists z(z=x+1)}.., which is again logically valid. -The substitution rule demonstrates several common aspects of rules of inference. -It is entirely syntactical ; one can tell whether it was correctly applied without appeal to any interpretation. -It has (syntactically defined) limitations on when it can be applied , which must be respected to preserve the correctness of derivations. -Moreover, as is often the case, these limitations are necessary because of interactions between free and bound variables that occur during syntactic manipulations of the formulas involved in the inference rule. -A deduction in a Hilbert-style deductive system is a list of formulas, each of which is a logical axiom , a hypothesis that has been assumed for the derivation at hand, or follows from previous formulas via a rule of inference. -A deduction in a Hilbert-style deductive system is a list of formulas, each of which is a logical axiom, a hypothesis that has been assumed for the derivation at hand, or follows from previous formulas via a rule of inference . -The logical axioms consist of several axiom schemas of logically valid formulas ; these encompass a significant amount of propositional logic. -The rules of inference enable the manipulation of quantifiers.

It is common to have only modus ponens and universal generalization as rules of inference. -First-order logic is a collection of formal systems used in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. -It is also known as first-order predicate calculus , the lower predicate calculus, quantification theory, and predicate logic. -First-order logic uses quantified variables over (non-logical) objects . - It allows the use of sentences that contain variables , so that rather than propositions such as Socrates is a man one can have expressions in the form X is a man where X is a variable. -It is also known as first-order predicate calculus, the lower predicate calculus, quantification theory , and predicate logic. -First-order logic uses quantified variables over (non-logical) objects. -First-order logic is a collection of formal systems used in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. -It is also known as first-order predicate calculus, the lower predicate calculus , quantification theory, and predicate logic. -It is also known as first-order predicate calculus, the lower predicate calculus, quantification theory, and predicate logic . -This distinguishes it from propositional logic, which does not use quantifiers . -It is also known as first-order predicate calculus, the lower predicate calculus, quantification theory , and predicate logic. -This distinguishes it from propositional logic , which does not use quantifiers. -First-order logic uses quantified variables over (non-logical) objects. -First-order logic is a collection of formal systems used in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics , -First-order logic uses quantified variables over (non-logical) objects. -First-order logic is a collection of formal systems used in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. -First-order logic is a collection of formal systems used in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science . -It is also known as first-order predicate calculus , the lower predicate calculus, quantification theory, and predicate logic. - It allows the use of sentences that contain variables , so that rather than propositions such as Socrates is a man one can have expressions in the form X is a man where X is a variable. -This distinguishes it from propositional logic, which does not use quantifiers . -Some formulas imply others, i.e. all matrices satisfying the antecedent ( LHS ) also satisfy the conclusion (RHS) of the implication — e.g. formula 3 implies formula 1, i.e.: each matrix fulfilling formula 3 also fulfills formula 1, but not vice versa (see the Hasse diagram for this ordering relation). -Some formulas imply others, i.e. all matrices satisfying the antecedent (LHS) also satisfy the conclusion ( RHS ) of the implication — e.g. formula 3 implies formula 1, i.e.: each matrix fulfilling formula 3 also fulfills formula 1, but not vice versa (see the Hasse diagram for this ordering relation). -In contrast, only some matrices, which satisfy formula 2, happen to satisfy also formula 5 , whereas others, also satisfying formula 2, do not; therefore formula 5 is not a logical consequence of formula 2. -In contrast, only some matrices, which satisfy formula 2, happen to satisfy also formula 5, whereas others, also satisfying formula 2, do not; therefore formula 5 is not a logical consequence of formula 2 . -An interpretation of a first-order language assigns a denotation to all non-logical constants in that language . -It also determines a domain of discourse that specifies the range of the quantifiers . -The study of the interpretations of formal languages is called formal semantics . -What follows is a description of the standard or Tarskian semantics for first-order logic. -The interpretation of an n-ary predicate symbol is a set of n-tuples of elements of the domain of discourse . -This means that, given an interpretation, a predicate symbol, and n elements of the domain of discourse , one can tell whether the predicate is true of those elements according to the given interpretation. -For example, an interpretation I(P) of a binary predicate symbol P may be the set of pairs of integers such that the first one is less than the second. -According to this interpretation, the predicate P would be true if its first argument is less than the second. -There is a second common approach to defining truth values that does not rely on variable assignment functions . -One now defines truth for quantified formulas syntactically , as follows: -The interpretation is extended so that each new constant symbol is assigned to its corresponding element of the domain . -Instead, given an interpretation M, one first adds to the signature a collection of constant symbols , one for each element of the domain of discourse in M; say that for each d in the domain the constant symbol cd is fixed. -Satisfiability of formulas with free variables is more complicated, because an interpretation on its own does not determine the truth value of such a formula . -The most common convention is that a formula with free variables is said to be satisfied by an interpretation if the formula remains true regardless which individuals from the domain of discourse are assigned to its free variables. -The most common convention is that a formula with free variables is said to be satisfied by an interpretation if the formula remains true regardless which individuals from the domain of discourse are assigned to its free variables . -This has the same effect as saying that a formula is satisfied if and only if its universal closure is satisfied. -Infinitary logic generalizes first-order logic to allow formulas of infinite length. -The most common way in which formulas can become infinite is through infinite conjunctions and disjunctions . -However, it is also possible to admit generalized signatures in which function and relation symbols are allowed to have infinite arities, or in which quantifiers can bind infinitely many variables. -Because an infinite formula cannot be represented by a finite string, it is necessary to choose some other representation of formulas;

to fewer goals in each game and many official rule changes . -In addition, they must be rigid and tough to protect the skater's feet from contact with other skaters, sticks, pucks, the boards, and the ice itself . -Blade length, thickness (width), and curvature (rocker/radius (front to back) and radius of hollow (across the blade width) are quite different from speed or figure skates. -Rigidity

consists of a long, relatively wide, and slightly curved flat blade , attached to a shaft. -Typically, a less flexible stick is meant for a stronger player since the player is looking for the right balanced flex that allows the stick to flex easily while still having a strong "whip-back" which sends the puck flying at high speeds. -Ice hockey is a full contact sport and carries a high risk of injury. -Women's ice hockey players can have contact but are not allowed to body check . -Players are moving at speeds around approximately 20 – 30 mph and quite a bit of the game revolves around the

injury [in hockey]."[citation needed] Even a shallow cut to the head results in a loss of a large amount of blood. -Not only are lacerations common, "it is estimated that direct trauma accounts for 80% of all [hockey] injuries. -Due to the danger of delivering a check from behind , many leagues, including the NHL have made this a major and game misconduct penalty (called "boarding"). -Another type of check that accounts for many of the player-to-player contact concussions is a check to the head resulting in a misconduct penalty (called "head contact"). -Another type of check that accounts

checking, sweep checking, and poke checking are legal uses of the stick to obtain possession of the puck. -Body checking is using one's shoulder or hip to strike an opponent who has the puck or who is the last to have touched it (the last person to have touched the puck is still legally "in possession" of it, although a penalty is generally called if he is checked more than two seconds after his last touch). -Often the term checking is used to refer to body checking , with its true definition generally only propagated among fans of the game. -NHL rules instated for the 2006 season redefined the offside rule to make the two-line pass legal; a player may pass the puck from behind his own blue line, past both that blue line and the centre red line, to a player on the near side of the opponents' blue line. -Offensive tactics are designed ultimately to score a goal by taking a shot. When a player purposely directs the puck towards the opponent's goal, he or she is said to "shoot" the puck. -When a player purposely directs the puck towards the opponent's goal, he or she is said to " shoot " the puck. -Offensive tactics include improving a team's position on the ice by advancing the puck out of one's zone towards the opponent's zone, progressively by gaining lines, first your own blue line, then the red line and finally the opponent's blue line. -A deflection is a shot that redirects a shot or a pass towards the goal from another player , by allowing the puck to strike the stick and carom towards the goal. -A one-timer is a shot struck directly off a pass, without receiving the pass and shooting in two separate actions. -Headmanning the puck, also known as breaking out,

act of attacking the opposition in their defensive zone . -shooting the puck into the offensive zone and then chasing after it ). -Each team will use their own unique system but the main ones are: 2–1–2, 1–2–2, and 1–4 . -The 1–4 is the most defensive forecheck system, referred to as the neutral zone trap, where one forward will apply pressure to the puck carrier around the oppositions' blueline and the other 4 players stand basically in a line by their blueline in hopes the opposition will skate into one of them. -The 2–1–2 is the most basic forecheck system where two forwards will go in deep and pressure the opposition's defencemen, the third forward stays high and the two defencemen stay at the blueline. -Cycling moves the puck along the boards in the offensive zone to create a scoring chance by making defenders tired or moving them out of position. -Cycling moves the puck along the boards in the offensive zone to create a scoring chance by making defenders tired or moving

stopping play, it is impossible for them to score a goal . -If a delayed penalty is signaled and the team in possession scores, the penalty is still assessed to the offending player, but not served . -In college games, the penalty is still enforced even if the team in possession scores . -However, it is possible for the controlling team to mishandle the puck into their own net . -A delayed penalty call occurs when a penalty offense is committed by the team that does not have possession of the puck. -Because the team on which the penalty was called cannot control the puck without stopping play,

are true multi-user, and implement absolute memory protection. -However, a lot of the advantages of being a true multi-user operating system were nullified by the fact that, prior to Windows Vista, the first user account created during the setup process was an administrator account , which was also the default for new accounts. -Though Windows XP did have limited accounts, the majority of home users did not change to an account type with fewer rights – partially due to the number of programs which unnecessarily required administrator rights – and so most home users ran as administrator all the time. -that, prior to Windows Vista, the first user account created during the setup process was an administrator account , which was also the default for new accounts. -Windows Vista changes this by introducing a privilege elevation system called User Account Control . -When an application requests higher privileges or "Run as administrator" is clicked, UAC will prompt for confirmation and, if consent is given (including administrator credentials if the account requesting the elevation is not a member of the administrators group), start the process using the unrestricted token. -User

Neolithic founder crops were named by Daniel Zohary , who highlighted importance of the three cereals, and suggesting domestication of flax, pea, chickpea, bitter vetch and lentil came a little later. -Gordon Hillman and Stuart Davies carried out experiments with wild wheat varieties to show that the process of domestication would have happened over a relatively short period of between twenty and two hundred years . -Wild lentils present a different challenge that needed to be overcome: most of the wild seeds do not germinate in the first year ; the first evidence of lentil domestication, breaking dormancy in their first year, was found in the early Neolithic at Jerf el Ahmar (in modern Syria), and quickly spread south to the Netiv HaGdud site in the Jordan Valley. -Based on analysis of the genes of domesticated plants, he preferred theories of a single, or at most a very small number of domestication events for each taxa that spread in an arc from the Levantine corridor around the fertile crescent and later into Europe. -Several plant species, the "pioneer crops" or Neolithic founder crops were named by Daniel Zohary, who highlighted importance of the three cereals , and

-Northern China appears to have been the domestication center for foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) with evidence of domestication of these species approximately 8,000 years ago. -Soybean was domesticated in northern China 4500 years ago . -Rice was domesticated in southern China later on. -They were cultivated around 2500 BC . -These species were subsequently widely cultivated in the Yellow River basin (7,500 years ago). -On the African continent, three areas have been identified as independently developing agriculture: the Ethiopian highlands, the Sahel and West Africa. - .Many grinding stones are found with the early Egyptian Sebilian and Mechian cultures and evidence has been found of a neolithic domesticated crop-based economy dating around 7,000 BP . -.Unlike the Middle East, this evidence appears as a "false dawn" to agriculture, as the sites were later abandoned, and permanent farming then was delayed until 6,500 BP with the Tasian and Badarian cultures and the arrival of crops and animals from the Near East. -On the African continent, three areas have been identified as independently developing agriculture: the Ethiopian highlands, the Sahel and West Africa . -By contrast, Agriculture in the Nile River Valley is thought to have developed from the original Neolithic Revolution in the Fertile Crescent. -During the next millennia it would transform the small and mobile groups of hunter-gatherers that had hitherto dominated human pre-history into sedentary (here meaning non-nomadic) societies based in built-up villages and towns. -The Neolithic Revolution involved far more than the adoption of a limited set of food -producing techniques. -During the next millennia it would transform the small and mobile groups of hunter-gatherers that had hitherto dominated human pre-history into sedentary (here meaning non-nomadic) societies based in built-up villages and towns . -These societies radically modified their natural environment by means of specialized food-crop cultivation (e.g., irrigation and deforestation) which allowed extensive surplus food production. -During the next millennia it

way of life to a more settled, agrarian-based one , with the inception of the domestication of various plant and animal species—depending on the species locally available, and probably also influenced by local culture. -Once agriculture started gaining momentum, human activity resulted in the selective breeding of cereal grasses (beginning with emmer, einkorn and barley), and not simply of those that would favour greater caloric returns through larger seeds. -Plants that rapidly shed their seeds on maturity tended not to be gathered at harvest, therefore not stored and not seeded the following season; years of harvesting selected for strains that retained their edible seeds longer. -Once agriculture started gaining momentum, human activity resulted in the selective breeding of

-This seems to confirm the theories of Carl Sauer who, in "Agricultural Origins and Dispersals", suggested as early as 1952 that this region was a centre of early agriculture. -When hunter-gathering began to be replaced by sedentary food production it became more profitable to keep animals close at hand. -The animals' size, temperament, diet, mating patterns, and life span were factors in the desire and success in domesticating animals. -Animals that provided milk , such as cows and goats, offered a source of protein that was renewable and therefore quite valuable. -Besides being a direct source of food, certain animals could provide leather, wool, hides, and fertilizer . -Some of the earliest domesticated animals included dogs ( East Asia , about 15,000 years ago), sheep, goats, cows, and pigs. -This area was also the first region to domesticate the dromedary camel . -Henri Fleisch discovered and termed the Shepherd Neolithic flint industry from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon and suggested that it could have been used by the earliest nomadic shepherds. -Henri Fleisch discovered and termed the Shepherd Neolithic flint industry from the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon and suggested that it could have been used by the earliest nomadic shepherds . -As the climate in the Middle East changed and became drier , many of the farmers were forced to leave, taking their domesticated animals with them. -Some authors, like Jared Diamond, have postulated that this East-West axis is the main reason why plant and animal domestication spread so quickly from the Fertile Crescent to the rest of Eurasia and North Africa , while it did not reach through the North-South axis of Africa to reach the Mediterranean climates of South Africa, where temperate crops were successfully imported by ships in the last 500 years. -This is now questioned in view of findings by archaeologists and paleopathologists showing that nutritional standards of Neolithic populations were generally inferior to that of hunter-gatherers, and that their life expectancy may well have been shorter too, in part due to diseases and harder work - hunter-gatherers must have covered their food needs with about 20 hours' work a week, while agriculture required much more and was at least as uncertain. -This is now questioned in view of findings by archaeologists and paleopathologists showing that nutritional standards

supported a denser population , which in turn supported larger sedentary communities, the accumulation of goods and tools, and specialization in diverse forms of new labor. -Food surpluses made possible the development of a social elite who were not otherwise engaged in agriculture, industry or commerce, but dominated their communities by other means and monopolized decision-making. -Jared Diamond (in The World Until Yesterday) identifies the availability of milk and/or cereal grains as permitting mothers to raise both an older (e.g. 3 or 4 year old) child and a younger child concurrently, whereas this was not possible previously. - The result is that a population can significantly more-rapidly increase its size than would otherwise be the case, resources permitting. -The development of larger societies led to the development of different means of decision making and to governmental organization . -Sherratt argues that this phase in agricultural development enabled humans to make use of the energy possibilities of their animals in new ways, and permitted permanent intensive subsistence farming and crop production, and the opening up of heavier soils for farming. -It also made possible nomadic pastoralism in semi arid areas, along the margins of deserts, and eventually led to the domestication of both the dromedary and Bactrian camel . -Living in one spot would have more easily permitted the accrual of personal possessions and an attachment to certain areas of land. -From such a position, it is argued[by whom?], prehistoric people were able to stockpile food to survive lean times and trade unwanted surpluses with others . -Once trade and a secure food supply were established, populations could grow , and society would have diversified into food producers and artisans, who could afford to develop their trade by virtue of the free time they enjoyed because of a surplus of food. -Throughout the development of sedentary societies, disease spread more rapidly than it had during the time in which hunter-gatherer societies existed. -Inadequate sanitary practices and the domestication of animals may explain the rise in deaths and sickness following the Neolithic Revolution, as diseases jumped from the animal to the human population. -In concordance with a process of natural selection, the humans who first domesticated the big mammals quickly built up immunities to the diseases as within each generation the individuals with better immunities had better chances of survival. -90% or more of many populations of the Americas were wiped out by European and African diseases before recorded contact with European explorers or colonists. -Some cultures like the Inca Empire did have a large domestic mammal, the llama, but llama milk was not drunk, nor did llamas live in a closed space with humans, so the risk of contagion was limited. -In his book Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond argues that Europeans and East Asians benefited from an advantageous geographical location that afforded them a head start in the Neolithic Revolution. -Being among the first to adopt agriculture and sedentary lifestyles, and neighboring other early agricultural societies with whom they could compete and trade, both Europeans and East Asians were also among the first to benefit from technologies such as firearms and steel swords. -Being among the first to adopt agriculture and sedentary lifestyles, and neighboring other early agricultural societies with whom they could compete and trade, both Europeans and East Asians were also among the first to benefit from technologies such as firearms and steel swords . -In addition, they developed resistances to infectious disease, such as smallpox , due to their close relationship with domesticated animals. -Both shared the temperate climate ideal for the first agricultural settings, both were near a number of easily domesticable plant and animal species, and both were safer from attacks of other people than civilizations in the middle part of the Eurasian continent. -The dispersal of Neolithic culture from the Middle East has recently been associated with the distribution of human genetic markers . -In Africa, the spread of farming, and notably the Bantu expansion, is associated with the dispersal of Y-chromosome haplogroup E1b1a from West Africa . -In Africa, the spread

on the island of Kauai, is notable for its extreme rainfall, as it has the second highest average annual rainfall on Earth, with 12,000 millimetres (460 in) . - Storm systems affect the state with heavy rains between October and March . - Local climates vary considerably on each island due to their topography, divisible into windward (Koʻolau) and leeward (Kona) regions based upon location relative to the higher mountains. - Windward sides face the east to northeast trade winds and receive much more rainfall ; leeward sides are drier and sunnier, with less rain and less cloud cover. -In Hawaii, Mount Waiʻaleʻale, on the island of Kauai , is notable for its extreme rainfall, as it has the second highest average annual rainfall on Earth, with 12,000 millimetres (460 in). -Extratropical

cold and dangerous conditions with heavy rain and snow with winds exceeding 119 km/h (74 mph), (sometimes referred to as windstorms in Europe). - When moist air tries to dislodge an arctic air mass, overrunning snow can result within the poleward side of the elongated precipitation band. - In the Northern Hemisphere, poleward is towards the North Pole , or north. -The band of precipitation that is associated with their warm front is often extensive, forced by weak upward vertical motion of air over the frontal boundary which condenses as it cools and produces precipitation within an elongated band, which is wide and stratiform, meaning falling out of nimbostratus clouds. -Southwest of extratropical cyclones, curved cyclonic flow bringing cold air across the relatively warm water bodies can lead to narrow lake-effect snow bands . -The stronger the temperature decrease with height, the deeper the clouds get, and the greater the precipitation rate becomes. -Because of this temperature difference, warmth and moisture are transported upward, condensing into vertically oriented clouds (see satellite picture) which produce snow showers . -Those bands bring strong localized snowfall which can be understood as follows: Large water bodies such as lakes efficiently store heat that results in significant temperature differences (larger than 13 °C or 23 °F) between the water surface and the air above . -The wet, or rainy, season is the time of year, covering one or more months, when most of the average annual rainfall in a region falls. - Tropical rainforests technically do not have dry or wet seasons, since their rainfall is equally distributed through the year. -Savanna climates and areas with monsoon regimes have wet summers and dry winters. - When the wet season occurs during the warm season, or summer, rain falls mainly during the late afternoon and early evening hours. - Developing countries have noted that their populations show seasonal weight fluctuations due to food shortages seen before the first harvest, which occurs late in the wet season. -Tropical cyclones, a source of very heavy rainfall, consist of large air masses several hundred miles across with low pressure at the centre and with winds blowing inward towards the centre in either a clockwise direction (southern hemisphere) or counterclockwise (northern hemisphere). -Tropical

dramatic effect on agriculture. - Drought can kill crops and increase erosion, while overly wet weather can cause harmful fungus growth. - Drought can kill crops and increase erosion, while overly wet weather can cause harmful fungus growth . - All plants need at least some water to survive, therefore rain (being the most effective means of watering) is important to agriculture. -Precipitation has generally increased over land north of 30°N from 1900 to 2005 but has declined over the tropics since the 1970s. - Over the contiguous United States, total annual precipitation increased at an average rate of 6.1% per century since 1900, with the greatest increases within the East North Central climate region (11.6% per century) and the South (11.1%). -Precipitation has generally increased over

urban heat island warms cities 0.6 to 5.6 °C (1.1 to 10.1 °F) above surrounding suburbs and rural areas. - This extra heat leads to greater upward motion, which can induce additional shower and thunderstorm activity. - Rainfall rates downwind of cities are increased between 48% and 116% . - Partly as a result of this warming, monthly rainfall is about 28% greater between 32 to 64 kilometres (20 to 40 mi) downwind of cities, compared with upwind. -The Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (abbreviated QPF) is the expected amount of liquid precipitation accumulated over a specified time period over a specified area. - Radar imagery forecasting techniques show higher skill than model forecasts within six to seven hours of the time of the radar image. -Starting in the mid to late 1990s, QPFs were used within hydrologic forecast models to simulate impact to rivers throughout the United States. - The forecasts can be verified through use of rain gauge measurements, weather radar estimates , or a combination of both. -On the large scale, the highest precipitation amounts outside topography fall in the tropics , closely tied to the Intertropical Convergence Zone, itself the

fragile), the tipping bucket rain gauge, and the weighing rain gauge. -The wedge and tipping bucket gauges will have problems with snow. -For those looking to measure rainfall the most inexpensively, a can that is cylindrical with straight sides will act as a rain gauge if left out in the open, but its accuracy will depend on what ruler is used to measure the rain with . -Attempts to compensate for snow/ice by warming the tipping bucket meet with limited success, since snow may sublimate if the gauge is kept much above freezing. -Weighing gauges with antifreeze should do fine with snow, but again, the funnel needs to be removed before the event begins. - Bits of liquid or solid water in the atmosphere are known as hydrometeors. - All precipitation types are made up of hydrometeors by definition, including virga , which is precipitation which evaporates before reaching the ground. - All precipitation types are made up of hydrometeors by definition, including virga, which is precipitation which evaporates before reaching the ground. -A concept used in precipitation measurement is the hydrometeor. -Satellite sensors now in practical use for precipitation fall into two categories. -Further, cloud tops with a lot of small-scale variation are likely to be more vigorous than smooth-topped clouds. -Due to the typical structure of the atmosphere, cloud-top temperatures are approximately inversely related to cloud-top heights, meaning colder clouds almost always occur at higher altitudes . -Thermal infrared (IR) sensors record a channel around 11 micron wavelength and primarily give information about cloud tops . -Due to the typical structure of the atmosphere, cloud-top temperatures are approximately inversely related to cloud-top heights, meaning colder

environment. - This process is known as the Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process . - The corresponding depletion of water vapour causes the droplets to evaporate , meaning that the ice crystals grow at the droplets' expense. - These large crystals are an efficient source of precipitation, since they fall through the atmosphere due to their mass , and may collide and stick together in clusters, or aggregates. -Snow crystals form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets (about 10 μm in diameter) freeze. -Because water droplets are more numerous than the ice crystals the crystals are able to grow to hundreds of micrometers in size at the expense of the water droplets. - This process is known as the Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process . - Guinness World Records list the world's largest snowflakes as those of January 1887 at Fort Keogh, Montana ; allegedly one measured 38 cm (15 inches) wide. - These aggregates are snowflakes , and are usually the type of ice particle that falls to the ground. -Although the ice is clear, scattering of light by the crystal facets and hollows/imperfections mean that the crystals often appear white in color due to diffuse reflection of the whole spectrum of light by the small ice particles. -Rarely, at a temperature of around −2 °C (28 °F) , snowflakes can form in threefold symmetry—triangular snowflakes. - The shape of the snowflake is determined broadly by the temperature and humidity at which it is formed . -Rarely, at a temperature of around −2 °C (28 °F), snowflakes can form in threefold symmetry— triangular snowflakes . - The METAR code for snow is SN , while snow showers are coded SHSN. - Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called " showers ." - The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail . - Thus, fog and mist are not precipitation but suspensions, because the water vapor does not condense sufficiently to precipitate. -In meteorology, precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity . - Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air . - Two processes , possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air. - Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations

Channels up to about 37 GHz primarily provide information on the liquid hydrometeors (rain and drizzle) in the lower parts of clouds, with larger amounts of liquid emitting higher amounts of microwave radiant energy. -Channels up to about 37 GHz primarily provide information on the liquid hydrometeors (rain and drizzle) in the lower parts of clouds, with larger amounts of liquid emitting higher amounts of microwave radiant energy. -Channels up to about 37 GHz primarily provide information on the liquid hydrometeors (rain and drizzle) in the lower parts of clouds, with larger amounts of liquid emitting higher amounts of microwave radiant energy. Channels above 37 GHz display emission signals, but are dominated by the action of solid hydrometeors (snow, graupel, etc.) to scatter microwave radiant energy. -Satellites such as the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission employ microwave sensors to form precipitation estimates. -IR works best in cases of deep, vigorous convection —such as the tropics—and becomes progressively less useful in areas where stratiform (layered) precipitation dominates, especially in mid- and high-latitude regions. -IR works best in cases of deep, vigorous convection—such as the tropics—and becomes progressively less useful in areas where stratiform (layered) precipitation dominates, especially in mid- and high-latitude regions. The more-direct physical connection between hydrometeors and microwave channels gives the microwave estimates greater skill on short time and space scales than is true for IR. -However, microwave sensors fly only on low Earth orbit satellites , and there are few enough of them that the average time between observations exceeds three hours. -However, microwave sensors fly only on low Earth orbit satellites, and there are few enough of them that the average time between observations exceeds three hours. This several-hour interval is insufficient to adequately document precipitation because of the transient nature of most precipitation systems as well as the inability of a single satellite to appropriately capture the typical daily cycle of precipitation at a given location. -IR works best in cases of deep, vigorous convection—such as the tropics —and becomes progressively less useful in areas where stratiform (layered) precipitation dominates, especially in mid- and high-latitude regions. -The difficulties in using gauge data are that 1) their availability is limited, as noted above, and 2) the best analyses of gauge data take two months or more after the observation time to undergo the necessary transmission, assembly, processing and quality control. -As a result, while estimates that include gauge data may provide a more accurate depiction of the "true" precipitation, they are generally not suited for real- or near-real-time applications. -In other cases, the goal is producing the best instantaneous satellite estimate, which is the High Resolution Precipitation Product approach. In either case, of course, the less-emphasized goal is also considered desirable. -One key result of the multi-satellite studies is that including even a small amount of surface gauge data is very useful for controlling the biases that are endemic to satellite estimates. The difficulties in using gauge data are that 1) their availability is limited, as noted above, and 2) the best analyses of gauge data take two months or more after the observation time to undergo the necessary transmission, assembly, processing and quality control. -The likelihood or probability of an event with a specified intensity and duration , is called the return period or frequency. -The intensity of a storm can be predicted for any return period and storm duration, from charts based on historic data for the location. The term 1 in 10 year storm describes a rainfall event which is rare and is only likely to occur once every 10 years, so it has a 10 percent likelihood any given year. - The term 1 in 100 year storm describes a rainfall event which is extremely rare and which will occur with a likelihood of only once in a century, so has a 1 percent likelihood in any given year. -The intensity of a storm can be predicted for any return period and storm duration , from charts based on historic data for the location. -The Köppen classification depends on average monthly values of temperature and precipitation. The most commonly used form of the Köppen classification has five primary types labeled A through E.

Specifically, the primary types are A, tropical; B, dry; C, mild mid-latitude; D, cold mid-latitude ; and E, polar. -The five primary classifications can be further divided into secondary classifications such as rain forest, monsoon, tropical savanna, humid subtropical, humid continental, oceanic climate , Mediterranean climate, steppe, subarctic climate, tundra, polar ice cap, and desert. -Stratiform or dynamic precipitation occurs as a consequence of slow ascent of air in synoptic systems (on the order of cm/s), such as over surface cold fronts, and over and ahead of warm fronts. - A wide variety of weather can be found along an occluded front, with thunderstorms possible, but usually their passage is associated with a drying of the air mass. - Occluded fronts usually form around mature low-pressure areas . - When it gets cold, Mars has precipitation that most likely takes the form of ice needles , rather than rain or snow. -Convective rain , or showery precipitation, occurs from convective clouds, e.g., cumulonimbus or cumulus congestus. -Convective rain, or showery precipitation, occurs from convective clouds, e.g., cumulonimbus or cumulus congestus. -Convective precipitation falls over a certain area for a relatively short time, as convective clouds have limited horizontal extent . - In mid-latitudes, convective precipitation is intermittent and often associated with baroclinic boundaries such as cold fronts, squall lines, and warm fronts. -Convective rain, or showery precipitation, occurs from convective clouds, e.g., cumulonimbus or cumulus congestus. - In mountainous parts of the world subjected to relatively consistent winds (for example, the trade winds), a more moist climate usually prevails on the windward side of a mountain than on the leeward or downwind side. -Orographic precipitation occurs on the windward side of mountains and is caused by the rising air motion of a large-scale flow of moist air across the mountain ridge , resulting in adiabatic cooling and condensation. -Orographic precipitation occurs on the windward side of mountains and is caused by the rising air motion of a large-scale flow of moist air across the mountain ridge, resulting in adiabatic cooling and condensation. -Moisture is removed by orographic lift, leaving drier air (see katabatic wind) on the descending and generally warming, leeward side where a rain shadow is observed. -The dew point is the temperature to which a parcel must be cooled in order to become saturated, and (unless super-saturation occurs) condenses to water. - Water vapour normally begins to condense on condensation nuclei such as dust, ice, and salt in order to form clouds. - Water vapour normally begins to condense on condensation nuclei such as dust, ice, and salt in order to form clouds. - Stratus is a stable cloud deck which tends to form when a cool, stable air mass is trapped underneath a warm air mass. - An elevated portion of a frontal zone forces broad areas of lift, which form clouds decks such as altostratus or cirrostratus . -There are four main mechanisms for cooling the air to its dew point: adiabatic cooling, conductive cooling, radiational cooling, and evaporative cooling. -Adiabatic cooling occurs when air rises and expands. -Conductive cooling occurs when the air comes into contact with a colder surface, usually by being blown from one surface to another, for example from a liquid water surface to colder land. - Radiational cooling occurs due to the emission of infrared radiation, either by the air or by the surface underneath. - Evaporative cooling occurs when moisture is added to the air through evaporation, which forces the air temperature to cool to its wet-bulb temperature, or until it reaches saturation. -Coalescence occurs when water droplets fuse to create larger water droplets, or when water droplets freeze onto an ice crystal, which is known as the Bergeron process. -Coalescence occurs when water droplets fuse to create larger water droplets, or when water droplets freeze onto an ice crystal, which is known as the Bergeron process . - When air turbulence occurs, water droplets collide, producing larger droplets . -As these larger water droplets descend, coalescence continues, so that drops become heavy enough to overcome air resistance and fall as rain . -The fall rate of very small droplets is negligible , hence clouds do not fall out of the sky; precipitation will only occur when these coalesce into larger drops. -Raindrops have sizes ranging from 0.1 millimetres (0.0039 in) to 9 millimetres (0.35 in) mean diameter, above which they tend to break up. -Raindrops have sizes ranging from 0.1 millimetres (0.0039 in) to 9 millimetres (0.35 in) mean diameter, above which they tend to break up . -Smaller drops are called cloud droplets , and their shape is spherical. -As a raindrop increases in size, its shape becomes more oblate , with its largest cross-section facing the oncoming airflow. - Rain drops associated with melting hail tend to be larger than other rain drops. -Ice pellets form when a layer of above-freezing air exists with sub-freezing air both above and below. - However, if the sub-freezing layer beneath the warm layer is too small, the precipitation will not have time to re-freeze, and freezing rain will be the result at the surface. This causes the partial or complete melting of any snowflakes falling through the warm layer. - A temperature profile showing a warm layer above the ground is most likely to be found in advance of a warm front during the cold season, but can occasionally be found behind a passing cold front. - This causes the partial or complete melting of any snowflakes falling through the warm layer. -Like other precipitation, hail forms in storm clouds when supercooled water droplets freeze on contact with condensation nuclei, such as dust or dirt. - The storm's updraft blows the hailstones to the upper part of the cloud. - Hail has a diameter of 5 millimetres (0.20 in) or more. - GR is derived from the French word grêle . - The hailstone then may undergo ' wet growth ', where the liquid outer shell collects other smaller hailstones. -Until British supplies began to arrive in appreciable quantities in 1944 , the occupiers were the only source of arms. -One of two objectives of the movement,

Partisans were integral to overall Yugoslav Partisans; by the end of 1943 Croatia proper, with 24% of the Yugoslav population, provided more Partisans than Serbia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Macedonia combined which collectively accounted for 59% of the Yugoslav population. -.In the liberated territories of Croatia after the war, Croatian Partisans proclaimed the Democratic Republic which was referred to by Winston Churchill as "the Croatian miracle." -This change was partly due to the decision of a key Croatian Peasant Party member, Božidar Magovac, to join the Partisans in June 1943, and

The subject of reliefs is for convenient reference assumed in this article to be usually figures, but sculpture in relief often depicts decorative geometrical or foliage patterns, as in the arabesques of Islamic art, and may be of any subject. -The subject of reliefs is for convenient reference assumed in this article to be usually figures, but sculpture in relief often depicts decorative

subjective, and the two are very often combined in a single work . -From the Parthenon Frieze onwards, many single figures have heads in high relief , but their lower legs are in low relief; the slightly projecting figures created in this way work well in reliefs that are seen from below (see Moissac portal in gallery). - As unfinished examples from various periods show, raised reliefs, whether high or low, were normally "blocked out" by marking the outline of the figure and reducing the background areas to the new background level, work no doubt performed by apprentices (see gallery). -In particular, most later "high reliefs" contain sections in low relief, usually in the background . -A bas-relief ("low relief", French pronunciation: ​[baʁəljɛf], from the Italian basso rilievo) or low relief is a projecting image with a shallow overall depth , for example used on coins, on which all images are in low relief. -A bas-relief (" low relief ", French pronunciation:

Egypt and other ancient Near Eastern and Asian cultures, and also Meso-America , a very low relief was commonly used for the whole composition. -In the lowest reliefs the relative depth of the elements shown is completely distorted , and if seen from the side the image makes no sense, but from the front the small variations in depth register as a three-dimensional image. -The Ishtar Gate of Babylon, now in Berlin , has low reliefs of large animals formed from moulded bricks, glazed in colour. - However, it needs very good conditions to survive long in unmaintained buildings – Roman decorative plasterwork is mainly known from Pompeii and other sites buried by ash from Mount Vesuvius. -The Ishtar Gate of Babylon, now in Berlin, has low reliefs of large animals formed from moulded bricks, glazed in colour . - Low relief was relatively rare in Western medieval art, but may be found, for example in wooden figures or scenes on the insides of the folding wings of multi-panel

any medium or technique of sculpture, stone carving and metal casting being most common. -In later Western art, until a 20th-century revival, low relief was used mostly for smaller works or combined with higher relief to convey a sense of distance, or to give depth to the composition, especially for scenes with many figures and a landscape or architectural background, in the same way that lighter colours are used for the same purpose in painting. -Thus figures in the foreground are sculpted in high-relief, those in the background in low-relief . -Thus figures in the foreground are sculpted in high-relief , those in the background in low-relief. - The typical traditional definition is that only up to half of the subject projects, and no elements are undercut or fully disengaged from the background field . -Mid-relief, " half-relief " or mezzo-rilievo is somewhat imprecisely defined, and the term is not often used in English, the works usually being described as low relief instead. - The depth of the elements shown is normally somewhat distorted . - Shallow-relief or rilievo stiacciato, used for the background areas of compositions with the main elements in low-relief, was perfected by the Italian Renaissance sculptor Donatello. - Shallow-relief or rilievo stiacciato, used for the background areas of compositions with the main elements in low-relief, was perfected by

common, becoming after the Amarna period of Ahkenaten the dominant type used, as opposed to low relief. -It had been used earlier, but mainly for large reliefs on external walls, and for hieroglyphs and cartouches . -The image is made by cutting the relief sculpture itself into a flat surface . -In a simpler form the images are usually mostly linear in nature, like hieroglyphs, but in most cases the figure itself is in low relief, but set within a sunken area shaped round the image, so that the relief never rises beyond the original flat surface. -This method minimizes the work removing the background , while allowing normal relief modelling. -Various modelling techniques are used, such repoussé ("pushed-back") in metalwork, where a thin metal plate is shaped from behind using various metal or wood punches, producing a relief image. -Various modelling techniques are used, such repoussé ("pushed-back") in metalwork , where a thin metal plate is shaped from behind using various metal

Falger have argued that nationalism and patriotism are forms of this in-group/out-group boundary. -Jonathan Haidt has noted that experimental observation indicating an in-group criterion provides one moral foundation substantially used by conservatives , but far less so by liberals. -This belief has been confirmed by simple computational models of evolution . -A further disparity between the values of religious traditions is pointed out by Barbara Stoler Miller, who states that, in Hinduism, "practically, right and wrong are decided according to the categories of social rank, kinship, and stages of life . -For modern Westerners , who have been raised on ideals of universality and egalitarianism, this relativity of values and obligations is the aspect of Hinduism most difficult to understand". -Modern monotheistic religions, such as Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and to a certain degree others such as Sikhism and Zoroastrianism, define right and wrong by the laws and rules set forth by their respective scriptures and as interpreted by religious leaders within the respective faith. -Within the wide range of moral traditions, religious value systems co-exist with contemporary secular frameworks such as consequentialism, freethought, humanism, utilitarianism, and others. -Peterson and Seligman approach the anthropological view looking across cultures, geo-cultural areas and across millennia. -They conclude that certain virtues have prevailed in all cultures they examined. -For instance humanity includes love, kindness, and social intelligence . -The major virtues they identified include wisdom / knowledge; courage; humanity; justice ; temperance; and transcendence. -The major virtues they identified include wisdom / knowledge ; courage; humanity; justice; temperance; and transcendence. -On April 26, 2012, the results of a study which tested their subjects' pro-social sentiments were published in the Social Psychological and Personality Science journal in which non-religious people had higher scores showing that they were more inclined to show generosity in random acts of kindness, such as lending their possessions and offering a seat on a crowded bus or train. -On April 26, 2012, the results of a study which tested their subjects' pro-social sentiments were published in the Social Psychological and Personality Science journal in which non-religious people had higher scores showing that they were more inclined to show generosity in random acts of kindness, such as lending their possessions and offering a seat on a crowded bus or train. -His conclusion is that a " complex relationship " exists between religiosity and homicide "with some.dimensions of religiosity encouraging homicide and other dimensions discouraging it". -A 2005 study by Gregory S.

believe that we can identify moral values across cultures, even if we do not appeal to a supernatural or universalist understanding of principles - values including integrity, trustworthiness, benevolence, and fairness . -These values can be resources for finding common ground between believers and nonbelievers . -For example, Simon Blackburn states that "apologists for Hinduism defend or explain away its involvement with the caste system, and apologists for Islam defend or explain away its harsh penal code or its attitude to women and infidels". -For example, Simon Blackburn states that "apologists for Hinduism defend or explain away its involvement with the caste system , and apologists for Islam defend or explain away its harsh penal code or its attitude to women and infidels". -In regard to Christianity, he states that the " Bible can be read as giving us a carte blanche for harsh attitudes to children, the mentally handicapped, animals, the environment, the divorced, unbelievers, people with various sexual habits, and elderly women", and notes morally suspect themes in the Bible's New Testament as well.[e] Christian apologists address Blackburn's viewpoints and construe that Jewish laws in the Jewish Bible showed the evolution of moral standards towards protecting the vulnerable, imposing a death penalty on those pursuing slavery and treating slaves as persons and not property. -Phil Zuckerman's 2008 book, Society without God, notes that Denmark and Sweden, "which are probably the least religious countries in the world, and possibly in the

certain action. -Research on mirror neurons, since their discovery in 1996 , suggests that they may have a role to play not only in action understanding, but also in emotion sharing empathy. -The inability to feel empathy is one of the defining characteristics of psychopathy, and this would appear to lend support to Decety's view. -Cognitive neuro-scientist Jean Decety thinks that the ability to recognize and vicariously experience what another individual is undergoing was a key step forward in the evolution of social behavior, and ultimately, morality. -John Newton , author of Complete

approaches to moral development; to these theorists morality forms in a series of constructive stages or domains . -Social psychologists such as Martin Hoffman and Jonathan Haidt emphasize social and emotional development based on biology , such as empathy. -Moral identity theorists, such as William Damon and Mordechai Nisan, see moral commitment as arising from the development of a self-identity that is defined by moral purposes: this moral self-identity leads to a sense of responsibility to pursue such purposes . -Of historical interest in psychology are the theories of psychoanalysts such

Stimulation of the VMPC by transcranial magnetic stimulation, has been shown to inhibit the ability of human subjects to take into account intent when forming a moral judgment. -According to this investigation, TMS did not disrupt participants' ability to make any moral.judgment. -On the contrary, moral judgments of intentional harms and nonharms were unaffected by TMS to either the RTPJ or the control site; presumably, however, people typically make moral judgments of intentional harms by considering not only the action's harmful outcome but the agent's intentions and beliefs . -Alternatively, following TMS to the RTPJ, moral judgments might be made via an abnormal processing route that does not take belief into account. -So why.were moral judgments of intentional harms not affected by TMS to the RTPJ ? -The development of modern morality is a process closely tied to sociocultural evolution . -The development of modern morality is a process closely tied to sociocultural evolution. -Some evolutionary biologists, particularly sociobiologists , believe that morality is a product of evolutionary forces acting at an individual level and also at the group level through group selection (although to what degree this actually occurs is a controversial topic in evolutionary theory). -Humans consequently evolved "pro-social" emotions , such as feelings of empathy or guilt, in response to these moral behaviors. -Humans consequently evolved "pro-social" emotions, such as feelings of empathy or guilt , in response to these moral behaviors. -On this understanding, moralities are sets of self-perpetuating and biologically-driven behaviors which encourage human cooperation . -Biologists contend that all social animals, from ants to elephants, have modified their behaviors, by restraining immediate selfishness in order to improve their evolutionary fitness. -Human morality , although sophisticated and complex relative to other animals, is essentially a natural phenomenon that evolved to restrict excessive individualism that could undermine a group's cohesion and thereby reducing the individuals' fitness. -Human morality, although sophisticated and complex relative to other animals, is essentially a natural phenomenon that evolved to restrict excessive individualism that could undermine a group's cohesion and thereby reducing the individuals' fitness. -On this view, moral codes are ultimately founded on emotional instincts and intuitions that were selected for in the past because they aided survival and reproduction (inclusive fitness). -Examples: the maternal bond is selected for because it improves the survival of offspring; the Westermarck effect, where close proximity during early years reduces mutual sexual attraction, underpins taboos against incest because it decreases the likelihood of genetically risky behaviour such as inbreeding. -Examples: the maternal bond is selected for because it improves the survival of offspring; the

individual can count on other group members to return the favor on nights when it goes hungry (Wilkinson, 1984) -Marc Bekoff and Jessica Pierce (2009) have argued that morality is a suite of behavioral capacities likely shared by all mammals living in complex social groups (e.g., wolves, coyotes, elephants, dolphins, rats, chimpanzees). -This suite of behaviors includes empathy, reciprocity, altruism, cooperation, and a sense of fairness . -They define morality as " a suite of interrelated other-regarding behaviors that cultivate and regulate complex interactions within

moral issues have been investigated by a quantitative large-scale meta-analysis of the brain activity changes reported in the moral neuroscience literature. - In fact, the neural network underlying moral decisions overlapped with the network pertaining to representing others' intentions (i.e., theory of mind) and the network pertaining to representing others' (vicariously experienced) emotional states (i.e., empathy). -The brain areas that are consistently involved when humans reason about moral issues have been investigated by a quantitative large-scale meta-analysis of the brain activity changes reported in the moral neuroscience literature . -This supports the notion that moral reasoning is related to both seeing things from other persons’ points of view and to grasping others’ feelings . -These results provide evidence that the neural network underlying moral decisions is probably domain-global (i.e., there might be no such things as a "moral module" in the human brain) and might be dissociable into cognitive and affective sub-systems. -The explicit making of moral right and wrong judgments coincides with activation in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPC) while

Since, from the formulae above, f is dependent upon n, it follows that light of different wavelengths is focused to different positions. -Chromatic aberration of a lens is seen as fringes of colour around the image . -It can be minimised by using an achromatic doublet (or achromat) in which two materials with differing dispersion are bonded together to form a single lens. -The use of achromats was an important step in the development of the optical microscope . -An apochromat is a lens or lens system with even better chromatic aberration correction, combined with improved spherical aberration correction. -If the separation distance is equal to the sum of the focal lengths (d = f1+f2), the FFL and BFL are infinite. -This type of system is called an afocal system , since it produces no net convergence or divergence of the beam. -Two lenses at this separation form the simplest type of optical telescope . -This type of system is called an afocal system , since it produces no net convergence or divergence of the beam. -Lenses are used as prosthetics for the correction of visual impairments such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism. -They are usually shaped to fit in a roughly oval, not circular, frame; the optical centres are placed over the eyeballs; their curvature may not be axially symmetric to correct for astigmatism. -Lenses are used as prosthetics for the correction of visual impairments such as myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and astigmatism . -Sunglasses ' lenses are designed to attenuate light; sunglass lenses that also correct visual impairments can be custom made. -In these devices lenses are sometimes paired up with curved mirrors to make a catadioptric system where the lens's spherical aberration corrects the opposite aberration in the mirror (such as Schmidt and meniscus correctors). -Some of these instruments produce a virtual image when applied to the human eye;

if the sun is imaged, much of the visible and infrared light incident on the lens is concentrated into the small image. -A modern application is the use of relatively large lenses to concentrate solar energy on relatively small photovoltaic cells , harvesting more energy without the need to use larger and more expensive cells. -Since ignition can be achieved even with a poorly made lens , lenses have been used as burning-glasses for at least 2400 years. -A lens is a transmissive optical device that affects the focus of a light beam through refraction . -A simple lens consists of a single piece of material , while a compound lens consists of several simple lenses (elements), usually along a common axis. -A simple lens consists of a single piece of material, while a compound lens consists of several simple lenses (elements) , usually along a common axis. -Lenses are made from transparent materials such as glass, ground and polished to a desired shape . -The earliest written records of lenses date to Ancient Greece , with Aristophanes' play The Clouds (424 BC) mentioning a burning-glass (a biconvex lens used to focus the sun's rays to produce fire). -Such lenses were used by artisans for fine work, and for authenticating seal impressions . -The earliest written records of lenses date to Ancient Greece, with Aristophanes' play The Clouds (424 BC) mentioning a burning-glass (a biconvex lens used to focus the sun's rays to produce fire). -The writings of Pliny the Elder (23–79) show that burning-glasses were known to the Roman Empire, and mentions what is arguably the earliest written reference to a corrective lens: -Lenses came into widespread use in Europe with the invention of spectacles, probably in Italy in the 1280s . -This was the start of the optical industry of grinding and polishing lenses for spectacles, first in Venice and Florence in the thirteenth century , and later in the spectacle-making centres in both the Netherlands and Germany. -Spectacle makers created improved types of lenses for the correction of vision based more on empirical knowledge gained from observing the effects of the lenses (probably without the knowledge of the rudimentary optical theory of the day). -The practical development and experimentation with lenses led to the invention of the compound optical microscope around 1595 , and the refracting telescope in 1608, both of which appeared in the spectacle-making centres in the Netherlands. -The practical development and experimentation with lenses led to the invention of the compound optical microscope around 1595, and the refracting telescope in 1608 , both of which appeared in the spectacle-making centres in the Netherlands. -This led to the invention of the compound achromatic lens by Chester Moore Hall in England in 1733, an invention also claimed by fellow Englishman John Dollond in a 1758 patent. -This led to the invention of the compound achromatic lens by Chester Moore Hall in England in 1733 , an invention also claimed by fellow Englishman John Dollond in a 1758 patent. -This led to the invention of the compound achromatic lens by Chester Moore Hall in England in 1733, an invention also claimed by fellow Englishman John Dollond in a 1758 patent. -This led to the invention of the compound achromatic lens by Chester Moore Hall in England in 1733, an invention also claimed by fellow Englishman John Dollond in a 1758 patent. -Most lenses are spherical lenses: their two surfaces are parts of the surfaces of spheres. -Most lenses are spherical lenses: their two surfaces are parts of the surfaces of spheres . -Each surface can be convex (bulging outwards from the lens), concave (depressed into the lens), or planar (flat) . -The line joining the centres of the spheres making up the lens surfaces is called the axis of the lens. -a Barlow lens . -It is also possible for the object distance S1 to be negative, in which case the lens sees a so-called virtual object . -This happens when the lens is inserted into a converging beam (being focused by a previous lens) before the location of its real image. -Using a positive lens of focal length f, a virtual image results when S1 < f, the lens thus being used a magnifying glass (rather than if S1 >> f as for a camera) -For instance, when characterizing a visual telescope or binoculars that produce only a virtual image, one would be more concerned with the angular magnification—which expresses how much larger a distant object appears through the telescope compared to the naked eye. -For instance, when characterizing a visual telescope or binoculars that produce only a virtual image, one would be more concerned with the angular magnification —which expresses how much larger a distant object appears through the telescope compared to the naked eye. -The plate scale is the reciprocal of the focal length of the camera lens; lenses are categorized as long-focus lenses or wide-angle lenses according to their focal lengths . -In the case of a camera one would quote the plate scale , which compares the apparent (angular) size of a distant object to the size of the real image produced at the focus. -Linear magnification M is not always the most useful measure of magnifying power. -For instance, using a magnifying glass of 5 cm focal length, held 20 cm from the eye and 5 cm from the object, produces a virtual image at infinity of infinite linear size: M = ∞. But the angular magnification is 5, meaning that the object appears 5 times larger to the eye than without the lens. -When taking a picture of the moon using a camera with a 50 mm lens, one is not concerned with the linear magnification M ≈ −50 mm / 380000 km = −1.3×10−10. -Using an inappropriate measurement of magnification can be formally correct but yield a meaningless number. -For instance, using a magnifying glass of 5 cm focal length, held 20 cm from the eye and 5 cm from the object, produces a virtual image at infinity of infinite linear size: M = ∞. -Spherical aberration occurs because spherical surfaces are not the ideal shape for a lens, but are by far the simplest shape to which glass can be ground and polished, and so are often used. -This manifests itself as a blurring of the image. -Spherical aberration occurs because spherical surfaces are not the ideal shape for a lens, but are by far the simplest shape to which glass can be ground and polished, and so are often used. -Lenses in which closer-to-ideal, non-spherical surfaces are used are called aspheric lenses . -For instance, a plano-convex lens , which is used to focus a collimated beam, produces a sharper focal spot when used with the convex side towards the beam source. -Coma , or comatic aberration, derives its name from the comet-like appearance of the aberrated image. -In general, a bundle of parallel rays passing through the lens at a fixed distance from the centre of the lens are focused to a ring-shaped image in the focal plane, known as a comatic circle . -Coma, or comatic aberration, derives its name from the comet-like appearance of the aberrated image. -Lenses in which both spherical aberration and coma are minimised are called bestform lenses. -Lenses are classified by the curvature of the two optical surfaces . -if both surfaces are convex . -If both surfaces have the same radius of curvature , the lens is equiconvex. -A lens with two concave surfaces is biconcave (or just concave). -If one of the surfaces is flat , the lens is plano-convex or plano-concave depending on the curvature of the other surface. -A negative meniscus lens has a steeper concave surface and is thinner at the centre than at the periphery . -Convex-concave (meniscus) lenses can be either positive or negative, depending on the relative curvatures of the two surfaces . -Conversely, a positive meniscus lens has a steeper convex surface and is thicker at the centre than at the periphery . -All real lenses have nonzero thickness , however, which makes a real lens with identical curved surfaces slightly positive. -To obtain exactly zero optical power, a meniscus lens must have slightly unequal curvatures to account for the effect of the lens' thickness. -As mentioned above, a positive or converging lens in air focuses a collimated beam travelling along the lens axis to a spot (known as the focal point) at a distance f from the lens. -The plane perpendicular to the lens axis situated at a distance f from the lens is called the focal plane. -Conversely, a point source of light placed at the focal point is converted into a collimated beam by the lens . -In the latter, an object at the focal length distance from the lens is imaged at infinity . -The signs of the lens' radii of curvature indicate whether the corresponding surfaces are convex or concave . -The sign convention used to represent this varies, but in this article a positive R indicates a surface's center of curvature is further along in the direction of the ray travel (right, in the accompanying diagrams), while negative R means that rays reaching the surface have already passed the center of curvature . -The sign convention used to represent this varies, but in this article a positive R indicates a surface's center of curvature is further along in the direction of the ray travel (right, in the accompanying diagrams), while negative R means that rays reaching the surface have already passed the center of curvature. -Consequently, for external lens surfaces as diagrammed above, R1 > 0 and R2 < 0 indicate convex surfaces (used to converge light in a positive lens), while R1 < 0 and R2 > 0 indicate concave surfaces. -Consequently, for external lens surfaces as diagrammed above, R1 > 0 and R2 < 0 indicate convex surfaces (used to converge light in a positive lens), while R1 < 0 and R2 > 0 indicate concave surfaces . -In some cases S2 is negative, indicating that the image is formed on the opposite side of the lens from where those rays are being considered . -Unlike real images, a virtual image cannot be projected on a screen , but appears to an observer looking through the lens as if it were a real object at the location of that virtual image. -Unlike real images, a virtual image cannot be projected on a screen, but appears to an observer looking through the lens as if it were a real object at the location of that virtual image . -The magnifying glass creates a (magnified) virtual image behind the magnifying glass , but those rays are then re-imaged by the lens of the eye to create a real image on the retina. -During the British Raj, the Kingdom of Manipur

packaged as a unit. - In different programming languages, a subroutine may be called a procedure , a function, a routine, a method, or a subprogram. - The generic term callable unit is sometimes used. -In computer programming, a subroutine is a sequence of program instructions that perform a specific task, packaged as a unit. - In different programming languages , a subroutine may be called a procedure, a function, a routine, a method, or a subprogram. - Maurice Wilkes, David Wheeler, and Stanley Gill are credited with the invention of this concept, which they termed a closed subroutine , contrasted with an open subroutine or macro. - Maurice Wilkes, David Wheeler, and Stanley Gill are credited with the invention of this concept, which they termed a closed subroutine, contrasted with an open subroutine or macro. -A subroutine is often coded so that it can be started (called) several times and from several places during one execution of the program, including from other subroutines, and then branch back (return) to the next instruction after the call once the subroutine's task is done. - Maurice Wilkes, David Wheeler, and Stanley Gill are credited with the invention of this concept, which they termed a closed subroutine, contrasted with an open subroutine or macro . -As the name subprogram suggests, a subroutine behaves in much the same way as a computer program that is used as one step in a larger program or another subprogram. -Subroutines are a powerful programming tool , and the syntax of many programming languages includes support for writing and using them. -will often substantially reduce the cost of developing and maintaining a large program , while increasing its quality and reliability. -The discipline of object-oriented programming is based on objects and methods (which are subroutines attached to these objects or object classes). -Subroutines, often collected into libraries , are an important mechanism for sharing and trading software. -Judicious use of subroutines (for example, through the structured programming approach) will often substantially reduce the cost of developing and maintaining a large program, while increasing its quality and reliability. -A subroutine call may also have side effects such as modifying data structures in a computer memory, reading from or writing to a peripheral device, creating a file, halting the program or the machine, or even delaying the program's execution for a specified time. -A subprogram with side effects may return different results each time it is called , even if it is called with the same arguments. -The widespread use of subroutines with side effects is a characteristic of imperative programming languages. -An example is a random number function , available in many languages, that returns a different pseudo-random number each time it is called. -An example is a random number function, available in many languages , that returns a different pseudo-random number each time it is called. -Some programming languages, such as Pascal , Fortran, Ada and many dialects of BASIC, distinguish between functions or function subprograms, which provide an explicit return value to the calling program, and subroutines or procedures, which do not. -Some programming languages, such as Pascal, Fortran, Ada and many dialects of BASIC, distinguish between functions or function subprograms, which provide an explicit return value to the calling program, and subroutines or procedures, which do not. -In those languages, function calls are normally embedded in expressions (e.g., a sqrt function may be called as y = -Other languages, such as C and Lisp , do not distinguish between functions and subroutines. -Procedure calls either behave syntactically as statements (e.g., a print procedure may be called as if x > 0 then print(x) or are explicitly invoked by a statement such as CALL or GOSUB (e.g. call print(x)). -The earliest computers and microprocessors, such as the Small-Scale Experimental Machine and the RCA 1802 , did not have a single subroutine call instruction. -.Subroutines could be implemented, but they required programmers to use the call sequence —a series of instructions—at each call site. -This allows arbitrarily deep levels of subroutine nesting , but does not support recursive subroutines. -.Subroutines could be implemented, but they required programmers to use the call sequence— a series of instructions —at each call site. -.Machines before the mid 1960s—such as the UNIVAC I, the PDP-1, and the IBM 1130—typically use a calling convention which saved the instruction counter in the first memory location of the called subroutine. -In many early computers, the program instructions were entered into memory from a punched paper tape . -The name subroutine library originally meant a library, in the literal sense, which kept indexed collections of such tapes or card decks for collective use . -A similar approach was used in computers whose main input was through punched cards . -Each subroutine could then be provided by a separate piece of tape, loaded or spliced before or after the main program ; and the same subroutine tape could then be used by many different programs. -Most modern implementations use a call stack, a special case of the stack data structure , to implement subroutine calls and returns. -Most modern implementations use a call stack, a special case of the stack data structure, to implement subroutine calls and returns . -Each procedure call creates a new entry , called a stack frame, at the top of the stack; when the procedure returns, its stack frame is deleted from the stack, and its space may be used for other procedure calls. -Each stack frame contains the private data of the corresponding call , which typically includes the procedure's parameters and internal variables, and the return address. -When stack-based procedure calls were first introduced, an important motivation was to save precious memory .[citation needed] With this scheme, the compiler does not have to reserve separate space in memory for the private data (parameters, return address, and local variables) of each procedure. -At any moment, the stack contains only the private data of the calls that are currently active (namely, which have been called but haven't returned yet). -Indeed, the call stack mechanism can be viewed as the earliest and simplest method for automatic memory management . -When stack-based procedure calls were first introduced, an important motivation was to save precious memory.[citation needed] With this scheme, the compiler does not have to reserve separate space in memory for the private data ( parameters, return address, and local variables ) of each procedure -Because of the ways in which programs were usually assembled from libraries, it was (and still is) not uncommon to find programs that include thousands of subroutines, of which only a handful are active at any given moment.[citation needed] For such programs, the call stack mechanism could save significant amounts of memory. Indeed, the call stack mechanism can be viewed as the earliest and simplest method for automatic memory management. -.To reduce that overhead, many modern compilers try to delay the use of a call stack until it is really needed .[citation needed] For example, the call of a procedure P may store the return address and parameters of the called procedure in certain processor registers, and transfer control to the procedure's body by a simple jump. -This overhead is most obvious and objectionable in leaf procedures or leaf functions , which return without making any procedure calls themselves. -This overhead is most obvious and objectionable in leaf procedures or leaf functions, which return without making any procedure calls themselves . -If procedure P returns without making any other call , the call stack is not used at all. -In the Visual Basic 6 language, subprograms are termed functions or subs (or methods when associated with a class). -By default, an unspecified variable is registered as a variant type and can be passed as ByRef (default) or ByVal. -By default, an unspecified variable is registered as a variant type and can be passed as ByRef (default) or ByVal . -In the Visual Basic 6 language, subprograms are termed functions or subs (or methods when associated with a class ). -A subprogram may have any number and nature of call sites. -Recursion is a useful means to simplify some complex algorithms, and breaking down complex problems . -If recursion is supported, a subprogram may even call itself , causing its execution to suspend while another nested execution of the same subprogram occurs. -If recursion is supported, a subprogram may even call itself, causing its execution to suspend while another nested execution of the same subprogram occurs . -As nested calls accumulate, a call stack structure is formed , consisting of one activation record for each suspended subprogram. -As nested calls accumulate, a call stack structure is formed, consisting of one activation record for each suspended subprogram . -In fact, this stack structure is virtually ubiquitous, and so activation records are commonly termed stack frames . -Modern languages after ALGOL such as PL/1 and C almost invariably use a stack, usually supported by most modern computer instruction sets to provide a fresh activation record for every execution of a subprogram. -If a subprogram can function properly even when called while another execution is already in progress , that subprogram is said to be reentrant. -A recursive subprogram must be reentrant . -Reentrant subprograms are also useful in multi-threaded situations, since multiple threads can call the same subprogram without fear of interfering with each other . -In the IBM CICS transaction processing system, quasi-reentrant was a slightly less restrictive , but similar, requirement for application programs that were shared by many threads. -For example, a square root function might be defined to operate on reals, complex values or matrices . -In strongly typed languages, it is sometimes desirable to have a number of functions with the same name, but operating on different types of data, or with different parameter profiles . -By writing three separate functions with the same name, the programmer has the convenience of not having to remember different names for each type of data . -Further if a subtype can be defined for the reals, to separate positive and negative reals, two functions can be written for the reals, one to return a real when the parameter is positive, and another to return a complex value when the parameter is negative . -As another example, a subroutine might construct an object that will accept directions , and trace its path to these points on screen. -There are a plethora of parameters that could be passed in to the constructor ( colour of the trace, starting x and y co-ordinates, trace speed ). -If the programmer wanted the constructor to be able to accept only the color parameter, then he could call another constructor that accepts only color, which in turn calls the constructor with all the parameters passing in a set of default values for all the other parameters (X and Y would generally be centered on screen or placed at the origin, and the speed would be set to another value of the coder's choosing). +The Soviet Union itself collapsed between 1990 and 1991 , with a rise of secessionist nationalism and a political power dispute between Gorbachev and the new non-communist leader of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin. +At football games, the "Football Tunnel" occurs where student organizations, carrying standards, form a tunnel for the football players to run through as they enter the football field from the locker room; The Varsity Walk, a walkway between the Cathedral of Learning and Heinz Memorial Chapel, is carved each year the names of former Pitt athletes (each year since 1950 ) who have promoted the University through their athletic (Panther Award) or academic (Blue-Gold Award) achievements. + The same thing happened again during the 2012-2013 regular season, the NHL was locked out for half of the season due to the owners and the NHL Players' Association could not reach a new agreement before the end of the collective bargaining agreement on September 16, 2012. If the programmer wanted the constructor to be able to accept only the color parameter, then he could call another constructor that accepts only color, which in turn calls the constructor with all the parameters passing in a set of default values for all the other parameters (X and Y would generally be centered on screen or placed at the origin, and the speed would be set to another value of the coder's choosing). -Proponents of modular programming (modularizing code) advocate that each subroutine should have minimal dependency on other pieces of code . -For example, the use of global variables is generally deemed unwise by advocates for this perspective, because it adds tight coupling between the subroutine and these global variables . -For example, the use of global variables is generally deemed unwise by advocates for this perspective, because it adds tight coupling between the subroutine and these global variables. -If such coupling is not necessary, their advice is to refactor subroutines to accept passed parameters instead . -However, increasing the number of parameters passed to subroutines can affect code readability . -There is a significant runtime overhead in a calling a subroutine, including passing the arguments, branching to the subprogram, and branching back to the caller . -The overhead often includes saving and restoring certain processor registers, allocating and reclaiming call frame storage , etc.. -In some languages, each subroutine call also implies automatic testing of the subroutine's return code, or the handling of exceptions that it may raise . -In object-oriented languages, a significant source of overhead is the intensively used dynamic dispatch for method calls. -There are some seemingly obvious optimizations of procedure calls that cannot be applied if the procedures may have side effects . -For example, in the expression (f(x)-1)/(f(x)+1), the function f must be called twice , because the two calls may return different results. -For example, in the expression (f(x)-1)/(f(x)+1), the function f must be called twice, because the two calls may return different results . -Moreover, the value of x must be fetched again before the second call , since the first call may have changed it. -A method used to eliminate this overhead is inline expansion or inlining of the subprogram's body at each call site (versus branching to the subroutine and back). -Not only does this avoid the call overhead, but it also allows the compiler to optimize the procedure's body more effectively by taking into account the context and arguments at that call. -Not only does this avoid the call overhead, but it also allows the compiler to optimize the procedure's body more effectively by taking into account the context and arguments at that call. The inserted body can be optimized by the compiler. -Not only does this avoid the call overhead, but it also allows the compiler to optimize the procedure's body more effectively by taking into account the context and arguments at that call. -Although the instrument was studiously ignored in Germany at first, French and Belgian military bands took full advantage of the instrument that Sax had designed. -Although the instrument was studiously ignored in Germany at first, French and Belgian military bands took full advantage of the instrument that Sax had designed. -Although the instrument was studiously ignored in Germany at first, French and Belgian military bands took full advantage of the instrument that Sax had designed. -Most French and Belgian military bands incorporate at least a quartet of saxophones comprising at least the E♭ baritone, B♭ tenor, E♭ alto and B♭ soprano. -These four instruments have proved the most popular of all of Sax's creations, with the E♭ contrabass and B♭ bass usually considered impractically large and the E♭ sopranino insufficiently powerful . -The saxophone was subsequently introduced into the concert band, which generally calls for the E♭ alto saxophone, the B♭ tenor saxophone, and the E♭ baritone saxophone . -The typical high-level[clarification needed] concert band includes two altos, one tenor, and one baritone . -The B♭ soprano saxophone is also occasionally used, in which case it is normally played by the first alto saxophonist. -The B♭ soprano saxophone is also occasionally used, in which case it is normally played by the first alto saxophonist . -The bass saxophone in B♭ is called for in some concert band music (especially music by Percy Grainger ).[citation needed] -Classical saxophone quartets include Quatuor Habanera, the h2 quartet, Raschèr Saxophone Quartet, the Aurelia Saxophone Quartet, the New Century Saxophone Quartet, and others. -The classical saxophone quartet consists of the soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, and baritone saxophone . -There is a repertoire of classical compositions and arrangements for the SATB instrumentation dating back to the nineteenth century , particularly by French composers who knew Adolphe Sax. -However, organised quartets did exist before Mule's ensemble, the prime example being the quartet headed by Eduard Lefebre (1834–1911), former soloist with the Sousa band, in the United States c. 1904–1911. -Historically, the quartets led by Marcel Mule and Daniel Deffayet, saxophone professors at the Conservatoire de Paris , were started in 1928 and 1953, respectively, and were highly regarded. -Beginning in the early 20th century , the saxophone became popular in dance orchestras, which were not jazz ensembles but influenced the format of the big swing era bands that were soon to follow. -Beginning in the early 20th century, the saxophone became popular in dance orchestras, which were not jazz ensembles but influenced the format of the big swing era bands that were soon to follow. - The swing bands of the 1930s utilized arrangements of saxophone and brass sections playing off each other in call-response patterns . - The influence of tenor saxophonist Lester Young with the Count Basie Orchestra in the late 1930s and the tremendous popularity of Coleman Hawkins' 1939 recording of Body and Soul marked the saxophone as an influence on jazz equal to that of the trumpet, which had been the defining instrument of jazz since its beginnings in New Orleans. - But the greatest influence of the saxophone on jazz was to occur just a few years later, as alto saxophonist Charlie Parker became an icon of the bebop revolution that influenced generations of jazz musicians. -The soprano saxophone was popularized by Sidney Bechet in early jazz, but then largely fell out of favor on the jazz scene until John Coltrane began to feature the instrument.[citation needed] Popular smooth jazz/contemporary pop musician Kenny G also features the soprano sax as his principal instrument. -

An instrument that overblew at the octave, would have identical fingering for both registers. -An instrument that overblew at the octave, would have identical fingering for both registers. -Having constructed saxophones in several sizes in the early 1840s, Sax applied for, and received, a 15-year patent for the instrument on June 28, 1846. -The patent encompassed 14 versions of the fundamental design, split into two categories of seven instruments each , and ranging from sopranino to contrabass. -The patent encompassed 14 versions of the fundamental design, split into two categories of seven instruments each, and ranging from sopranino to contrabass . -The C soprano saxophone was the only instrument to sound at concert pitch. All the instruments were given an initial written range from the B below the treble staff to the F, one space above the three ledger lines above staff, giving each saxophone a range of two and a half octaves. -All the instruments were given an initial written range from the B below the treble staff to the F, one space above the three ledger lines above staff, giving each saxophone a range of two and a half octaves. -Sax's patent expired in 1866 ; thereafter, numerous saxophonists and instrument manufacturers implemented their own improvements to the design and keywork. -The first substantial modification was by a French manufacturer who extended the bell slightly and added an extra key to extend the range downwards by one semitone to B♭. -The first substantial modification was by a French manufacturer who extended the bell slightly and added an extra key to extend the range downwards by one semitone to B♭. -Using alternate fingerings will allow the player to play easily and as fast as they can. The player may also use alternate fingerings to bend the pitch. -The player may also use alternate fingerings to bend the pitch . -Sax's original keywork, which was based on the Triebert system 3 oboe for the left hand and the Boehm clarinet for the right, was very simplistic and made playing some legato passages and wide intervals extremely difficult to finger, so numerous developers added extra keys and alternate fingerings to make chromatic playing less difficult. -A substantial advancement in saxophone keywork was the development of a method by which the left thumb operates both tone holes with a single octave key , which is now universal on modern saxophones. - Further developments were made by Selmer in the 1930s and 40s, including offsetting tone holes and revamping the octave key mechanism, beginning with their balanced action instruments and continuing through their celebrated Mark VI line.[citation needed] One of the most radical, however temporary, revisions of saxophone keywork was made in the 1950s by M. Houvenaghel of Paris, who completely redeveloped the mechanics of the system to allow a number of notes (C♯, B, A, G, F and E♭) to be flattened by a semitone simply by pressing the right middle finger. - Further developments were made by Selmer in the 1930s and 40s, including offsetting tone holes and revamping the octave key mechanism, beginning with their balanced action instruments and continuing through their celebrated Mark VI line.[citation needed] One of the most radical, however temporary, revisions of saxophone keywork was made in the 1950s by M.

This enables a chromatic scale to be played over two octaves simply by playing the diatonic scale combined with alternately raising and lowering this one digit. -Saxophone players such as John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sam Rivers and Pharoah Sanders again defined the forefront of creative exploration with the avant-garde movement of the 1960s. - Sheets of sound, tonal exploration, upper harmonics, and multiphonics were hallmarks of the creative possibilities that saxophones offered in the new realm. - One lasting influence of the avant-garde movement has been the exploration of non-western ethnic sounds on the saxophone , for example, the Africanized sounds used by Pharoah Sanders. -Saxophone players such as John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sam Rivers and Pharoah Sanders again defined the forefront of creative exploration with the avant-garde movement of the 1960s. -The primary (military band) saxophone family alternates instruments in B♭ and E♭ . -One company has recently revived production of the C soprano and C melody . -The other (orchestral) family patented by Sax, alternating instruments in C and F , has always been marginal, although some manufacturers tried to popularise the soprano in C (or C soprano saxophone), the alto in F (or mezzo-soprano saxophone), and the tenor in C (or C melody saxophone) early in the twentieth century. -The C melody enjoyed some success in the late 1920s and early 1930s as a parlor instrument. -The fingering scheme of the saxophone , which has had only minor changes since the instrument's original invention, has presented inherent acoustic problems related to closed keys below the first open tonehole that affect response of, and slightly muffle, some notes. -The fingering scheme of the saxophone, which has had only minor changes since the instrument's original invention, has presented inherent acoustic problems related to closed keys below the first open tonehole that affect response of, and slightly muffle, some notes. - There is also a lack of tactile consistency moving between key centers. - Two efforts to remedy the acoustic problems and awkward aspects of the original fingering system are noteworthy. -The saxophone consists of an approximately conical tube, usually of thin brass, flared at the tip to form a bell. -At rest some of the holes stand open and others are closed. -The keys are activated by keytouches pressed by the fingers , either directly on the pad cup or connected to it with levers, either directly or with joints called "linkages." -The keys are activated by keytouches pressed by the fingers, either directly on the pad cup or connected to it with levers, either directly or with joints called "linkages." -The Leblanc Rationale and System saxophones had key mechanics designed to remedy the acoustic problems associated with closed keys below the first open tonehole. - Some Leblanc System features were built into the Vito Model 35 saxophones of the 1950s and 1960s. - The acceptance of what was arguably a superior system was impaired by the adjustment required of players switching between System and non-System horns, and the added costs associated with the added complexity of certain key mechanisms. - They also enabled the player to make half-step shifts of scales by depressing one key while keeping the rest of the fingering consistent with that of the fingering a half step away (which could also trip up players used to certain alternate fingerings on a regular saxophone). - Some Leblanc System features were built into the Vito Model 35 saxophones of the 1950s and 1960s. -The chromatic , -The chromatic, or linear fingering, saxophone is a project of instrument designer and builder Jim Schmidt , developing a horn maximizing tactile and logical consistency between every interval on the horn regardless of key, and avoiding the acoustic problems associated closed keys below the first open tone hole. - Production of this fascinating and expensive saxophone is on an individual order basis according to the designer's website referenced above. -The chromatic , -The chromatic, or linear fingering, saxophone is a project of instrument designer and builder Jim Schmidt, developing a horn maximizing tactile and logical consistency between every interval on the horn regardless of key, and avoiding the acoustic problems associated closed keys below the first open tone hole. -Sax himself had mastered these techniques; he demonstrated the instrument as having a range of just beyond three octaves up to a (written) high B 4 . -There are many models of soprano saxophone that have a key for high G, and most modern models of baritone saxophone have an extended bore and key to produce low A ; it is also possible to play a low A on any saxophone by blocking the end of the bell, usually with the foot or inside of the left thigh. -There are many models of soprano saxophone that have a key for high G, and most modern models of baritone saxophone have an extended bore and key to produce low A ; it is also possible to play a low A on any saxophone by blocking the end of the bell, usually with the foot or inside of the left thigh. -For a short time Selmer Paris produced mark VI alto saxophones with the low A key. -F or a short time Selmer Paris produced mark VI alto saxophones with the low A key. -However, as the lower-pitched instruments would be unacceptably long if straight, for ergonomic reasons, the larger instruments usually incorporate a U-bend ("bow") at, or slightly above, the third-lowest tone hole. -This U-shape has become a distinctive feature of the saxophone family , to the extent that soprano and even sopranino saxes are sometimes made in the curved style, even though not strictly necessary. -Most commonly, however, the alto and tenor saxophones incorporate a detachable, curved "neck" above the highest tone hole, directing the mouthpiece to the player's mouth while the instrument is held in a playing stance. -This U-shape has become a distinctive feature of the saxophone family, to the extent that soprano and even sopranino saxes are sometimes made in the curved style, even though not strictly necessary. -The baritone, bass and contrabass saxophones accommodate the length of the bore with extra bows and right angle bends between the main body and the mouthpiece. -Because all saxophones use the same key arrangement and fingering to produce a given notated pitch, it is not difficult for a competent player to switch among the various sizes when the music has been suitably transposed, and many do so. -Since the baritone and alto are pitched in E♭ , players can read concert pitch music notated in the bass clef by reading it as if it were treble clef and adding three sharps to the key signature. -Since the baritone and alto are pitched in E♭, players can read concert pitch music notated in the bass clef by reading it as if it were treble clef and adding three sharps to the key signature. -This process, referred to as clef substitution , makes it possible for the Eb instruments to play from parts written for bassoon, tuba, trombone, or string bass. -The screw pins that connect the rods to the posts, as well as the needle and leaf springs that cause the keys to return to their rest position after being released, are generally made of blued or stainless steel. -Since 1920, most saxophones have 'key touches' (smooth replaceable pieces placed where the fingers touch the instrument) made from either plastic or mother of pearl. - Recently, some saxophones are offered with abalone or stone keytouches . -Since 1920 , most saxophones have 'key touches' (smooth replaceable pieces placed where the fingers touch the instrument) made from either plastic or mother of pearl. -Other materials have been tried with varying degrees of success, such as the 1950s Grafton plastic alto saxophone and its recent successor, the polycarbonate saxophone, VibratoSax . -There is also the wooden Sawat saxophone created in Thailand on a small scale. -Recent years have seen use higher copper alloys substituted for the "yellow brass" or "cartridge brass" that are most common, for visual and tonal effect. - Yanagisawa's 902 and 992 series saxophones are made with phosphor bronze, which is claimed to offer slightly different, more "vintage" tonal qualities from the brass 901 and 991 models of identical design. - Other saxophones made of high copper alloys are sold under the brands Chateau, Kessler, Saxgourmet, and Bauhaus Walstein . -Prior to final assembly, the manufacturers usually apply a thin coating of clear or colored acrylic lacquer, or silver plate , over the bare brass. -The lacquer or plating serves to protect the brass from oxidation , and maintains its shiny appearance. -It is also possible to plate the instrument with nickel or gold , and a number of gold-plated saxophones have been produced. -It is also possible to plate the instrument with nickel or gold , and a number of gold-plated saxophones have been produced. -The saxophone uses a single-reed mouthpiece similar to that of the clarinet. -The saxophone uses a single-reed mouthpiece similar to that of the clarinet . -Most saxophonists use reeds made from Arundo donax cane , but since the 20th century some have also been made of fiberglass and other composite materials. -Reeds are commercially available in a vast array of brands, styles, and strengths . -Less common materials that have been used include wood, glass, crystal, porcelain, and even bone . -According to Larry Teal , the mouthpiece material has little, if any, effect on the sound, and the physical dimensions give a mouthpiece its tone colour. - Mouthpiece design has a profound impact on tone. -Mouthpieces come in a wide variety of materials, including vulcanized rubber (sometimes called hard rubber or ebonite), plastic, and metals such as bronze or surgical steel. -Early mouthpieces were designed to produce a warm and round sound for classical playing. - At the opposite extreme from the classical mouthpieces are those with a small chamber and a low clearance above the reed between the tip and the chamber, called high baffle . -The use of the saxophone in dance orchestras and jazz ensembles put a premium on dynamic range, projection, and tonal richness, leading to rapid innovation in chamber shape and tip design, and metal construction . -Saxophonists who follow the French school of classical saxophone playing, influenced by Marcel Mule , generally use mouthpieces with smaller chambers than Rascher style mouthpieces. -Among classical mouthpieces, those with a concave ("excavated") chamber are more true to Adolphe Sax's original design; these provide a softer or less piercing tone favored by some saxophonists, including students of Sigurd Raschèr, for classical playing. -Postmodern music is either music of the postmodern era, or music that follows aesthetic and philosophical trends of postmodernism . -Jonathan Kramer posits the idea (following Umberto Eco and Jean-François Lyotard) that postmodernism (including musical postmodernism) is less a surface style or historical period (i.e., condition) than an attitude. -Jonathan Kramer posits the idea (following Umberto Eco and Jean-François Lyotard ) that postmodernism (including musical postmodernism) is less a surface style or historical period (i.e., condition) than an attitude. -As the name suggests, the postmodernist movement formed partly in reaction to the ideals of the modernist. -Because of this, postmodern music is mostly defined in opposition to modernist music, and a work can either be modernist, or postmodern, but not both . -Composers such as Terry Riley, Henryk Górecki, Bradley Joseph, John Adams, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Michael Nyman, and Lou Harrison reacted to the perceived elitism and dissonant sound of atonal academic modernism by producing music with simple textures and relatively consonant harmonies , whilst others, most notably John Cage challenged the prevailing narratives of beauty and objectivity common to Modernism. -The postmodern impulse in classical music arose in the 1960s with the advent of musical minimalism. -Composers such as Terry Riley, Henryk Górecki, Bradley Joseph, John Adams, Steve Reich, Philip Glass,

were in the beginning stages of what we now refer to as "graphic design". -Yet, while postmodern design did not consist of one unified graphic style , the movement was an expressive and playful time for designers who searched for more and more ways to go against the system. -Key influential postmodern graphic designers include Wolfgang Weingart, April Greiman, Tibor Kalman, and Jamie Reid. -They created works beginning in the 1970s without any set adherence to rational order and formal organization. -Yet, while postmodern design did not consist of one unified graphic style, the movement was an expressive and playful time for designers who searched for more and more ways to go against the system. -One of the most well-known postmodernist concerns is " deconstruction ," a theory for philosophy, literary criticism, and textual analysis developed by Jacques Derrida. -A deconstructive approach further depends on the techniques of close reading without reference to cultural, ideological, moral opinions or information derived from an authority over the text such as the author. -Derrida discontinued his involvement with the movement after the publication of his collaborative project with architect Peter Eisenmann in Chora L Works: Jacques Derrida and Peter Eisenman. -Derrida's philosophy inspired a postmodern movement called deconstructivism among architects, characterized by the intentional fragmentation, distortion, and dislocation of architectural elements in designing a building. -Derrida's method frequently involves recognizing and spelling out the different, yet similar interpretations of the meaning of a given text and the problematic implications of binary oppositions within the meaning of a text. -Post modernism is a

interpretations of culture, literature, art, philosophy, history, economics, architecture, fiction, and literary criticism. It is often associated with deconstruction and post-structuralism because its usage as a term gained significant popularity at the same time as twentieth-century post-structural thought. -It is often associated with deconstruction and post-structuralism because its usage as a term gained significant popularity at the same time as twentieth-century post-structural thought. -The term postmodern was first used around the 1880s. John Watkins Chapman suggested "a Postmodern style of painting" as a way to depart from French Impressionism. -J. M. Thompson, in his 1914 article in The Hibbert Journal (a quarterly philosophical review), used it to describe changes in attitudes and beliefs in the critique of religion: "The raison d'etre of Post-Modernism is to escape from the double-mindedness of Modernism by being thorough in its criticism by extending it to religion as well as theology, to Catholic feeling as well as to Catholic tradition." -J.

academics in the 19 50s , partly in response to French Existentialism. -Many American academics consider post-structuralism to be part of the broader, less well-defined postmodernist movement, even though many post-structuralists insisted it was not. -Post-structuralism is not defined by a set of shared axioms or methodologies, but by an emphasis on how various aspects of a particular culture, from its most ordinary, everyday material details to its most abstract theories and beliefs, determine one another. -Thus the French structuralists considered themselves to be espousing Relativism and Constructionism. -Post-structuralist thinkers reject Reductionism and Epiphenomenalism and the idea that cause-and-effect relationships are top-down or bottom-up. -(An example is Claude Lévi-Strauss

is a whitish clay, kaolin. -The city of Jingdezhen produced the most beautiful of these objects: bowls, jars, vases and other items created in vast quantities for the imperial court. -In the early 18th century , under his orders, an odd couple of proto-scientists — an urbane mathematician and a young, eccentric alchemist — finally figured out how to make porcelain in Dresden. -A few years later, William Cookworthy , a mild-mannered Quaker apothecary living in Devon, noticed that the clay in a nearby Cornish hill resembled the kaolin described in newly published letters from China. -Augustus set Tschirnhaus up with a character named Johann Friedrich ­Böttger, an apothecary’s apprentice who came to public attention when he was observed turning silver into gold. -Augustus set

figurative and literal sense (he ingested a lot of the substance), Böttger’s tempestuous, arrogant personality made him a trying collaborator, but when Augustus ordered him to help ­Tschirnhaus discover how to make porcelain , he complied. -Together, the men succeeded , whereupon the long-suffering Tschirnhaus promptly died. -De Waal juxtaposes Cookworthy’s small-time ­efforts to fire the

noticing and picking things up and feeling texture, through listening intently, openly, to men working by the side of the road.” -Not long afterward, while out for a walk, Cookworthy stopped to ask mine workers about the local clay they were using to patch the cracks in a furnace. -“The White Road” eventually becomes a brief against standardized production and industrialization — the opposite of what de Waal loves in hand-potting — and the price paid for it by workers. -Once precious, porcelain is now everywhere , not only in your kitchen (and bathroom), but also in your mouth, if your teeth are crowned, and used as insulation in electrical devices. -This culminates in a grim chapter on Allach porcelain, made by the Nazis , using slave labor, in Dachau. -This culminates in a grim chapter

main institution that can offset this trend by turning unskilled individuals into skilled ones. -The College Board reports that published tuition and fees at a typical private, nonprofit college, adjusted for overall inflation, have increased by 70 percent over the last 20 years. -Colleges have increasingly followed this practice by raising published prices and offering more financial aid

aquariums, turquoise killifish survive only a few months , making them among the shortest-lived vertebrates on Earth. -Using a new technique called Crispr , he created molecular scissors that could snip out any piece of killifish DNA and replace it with a different one. -They sequenced the entire genome of the turquoise killifish, identifying a number of genes known to influence aging in other species, including mice and humans . -To test his tools, Dr. Harel and his colleagues tinkered with a gene called TERT, which protects DNA from wear and tear . -Telomeres , like the plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces, keep DNA from fraying. -As cells divide, their telomeres get shorter , and this change probably plays a role in aging. -LJUBLJANA, Slovenia — Slovenia began erecting a

red lights and generally creating a nuisance. -Mr. Steinglass also showed several videotapes in court, filmed by the helmet camera of one of the bikers, Kevin Bresloff . -One of them was Drew Pardus , a safety consultant from Lower Manhattan, who said four bikers ignored a red light and nearly ran him over as he tried to cross West Street with his wife and young son. -The tapes also show some bikers racing down the highway standing on their seats . -Portraying the bikers as a lawless mob is intended to counter the defense argument that it was Mr. Lien and his wife who started the conflict, out of frustration with the traffic problems caused by the motorcyclists . -Still, the prosecutor made Mr. Bresloff, a Long Island motorcycle mechanic , narrate the tapes, explaining how he and other bikers drove up on sidewalks, ran red lights and did wheelies on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. -Mr. Steinglass pointed out in his opening that Detective Braszczok never intervened when he saw Mr. Lien assaulted, nor did he call the uniformed police. -Mr. Steinglass pointed out in his opening that Detective Braszczok never intervened when he saw Mr. Lien assaulted, nor did he call the uniformed

parts of the state, while much of the population and farming are in the south and west. -Winter snows in the Sierra Nevada are crucial, sending billions of gallons of water racing down the state’s rivers with the spring snowmelt. -In recent decades, the ecology of the delta deteriorated to the verge of collapse, with many of California’s native fishes believed to be in danger of extinction. -Congress imposed restrictions that reduced water for farmers , and environmental groups sued under the nation’s landmark conservation laws to further tighten the rules. -Scientists said that

noticed that some grapevines along the San Joaquin River were flooded for months in the winter, but that those same vines produced a lush crop of grapes in the summer. -With a small government grant and help from scientists and an environmental group, Mr. Cameron diverted water to a thousand acres of the farm he manages, Terranova Ranch, deliberately flooding fields of grapes, pistachio trees and hay. -With a small government grant and help from scientists and an environmental group, Mr. Cameron diverted water to a thousand acres of the farm he manages, Terranova Ranch, deliberately flooding fields of grapes, pistachio trees and hay. -The new groundwater law that the Legislature passed last year would give farmers stronger incentive to cooperate in such plans . -In wet years, they might allow their fields to be flooded in the winter or early spring to recharge the groundwater, and they would then be entitled to pump a certain amount out in dry years. -To move floodwater around in the winter, new canals and other infrastructure may be needed in some areas, one potential use of some of the $2.7 billion in public money. -To move floodwater around in the winter, new canals and other

atoll 200 miles from Mauritius. -The stranded members were assisted by Team Alvimedica and were rescued after a harrowing night in breaking waves and razor-sharp coral. -The decision was made to painstakingly remove the mangled boat from the reef and rebuild it in half the original build time at Persico Marine in Genoa, Italy . -“We knew that our story could not end on that reef,” Morten Kamp Jorgensen, the team’s communications director , said in an interview this week. -An inquiry into the accident revealed that the navigator, Wouter Verbraak , had not zoomed in enough on the boat’s navigation system to see the exposed reef. -This was a race to ensure that Vestas will be remembered as a team that overcame challenges .” -It took a month for Vestas, the sponsor, to commit to rejoining the race. -And now, as the end of the official rainy season approaches — this state gets 90 percent of its water from December through April, most of it in December and January — California

fairies might skip the wood altogether and leave a fairy-baby instead, carting the little human off for other purposes. -Either way, there’s a particular kind of terror inherent in the situation: to look in a crib expecting to see one’s cooing infant and instead find something inert and unknown. -Maurice Sendak’s picture book “ Outside Over There ” captures the horror with a rich gorgeousness, where the replacement baby is made of ice, and glows milky and terrifying and odd on the page. -One of the strengths of the pacing is that for the first half of the book, the allies and villains are not completely distinguishable. -Somebody else, whom the family calls Mr. Nobody , keeps calling the house and not saying anything. -The wasp queen calms Steve in a genuine way. -In large part, this is due to the allure of Oppel’s imagery , which is striking and scary at once: A dissected wasp with nothing inside it. -A knife grinder who drives slowly around the streets but has no customers. -The

Albrecht, a special agent in the D.E.A.’s Milwaukee district office, who supervised the investigation of Mr. Tian after the agents linked him to packages shipped to an address here. -Law enforcement officials hope that information gathered from Mr. Tian will provide a window into the drug’s hazy international underworld, where manufacturers readily tweak chemicals used to make spice and other so-called designer drugs, staying one step ahead of federal regulators scrambling to identify and outlaw them. -“There’s an illusion of legality,” said Scott Albrecht, a special agent in the D.E.A.’s

reeling from his estranged son’s pointed emasculation of his music production, coolly sends Hakeem a rap call-to-arms via his Gutter Life Records protégé, Freda Gatz. The missive’s brutally coy hook — “Daddy’s little girl / You’re just daddy’s little girl” — inflames Hakeem as much as it ennobles Gatz, who has been groomed into something between surrogate child and unknowing executor of the barely-hidden id of the man who killed her father in prison. -The missive’s brutally coy hook — “Daddy’s little girl / You’re just daddy’s little girl” — inflames Hakeem as much as it ennobles Gatz, who has been groomed into something between surrogate child and unknowing executor of the barely-hidden id of the man who killed her father in prison.

invest in — those that cannot be patented . -When Benjamin Roin, assistant professor of technological innovation, entrepreneurship, and strategic management at M.I.T., did so, he discovered that drug companies discard many potentially good ideas because they’re unpatentable . -Bringing a drug to market is expensive . -Without F.D.A. approval, a drug cannot be marketed. -Without F.D.A. approval , a

expense of prescription drugs has come to the forefront in the presidential campaign with proposals by Bernie Sanders and Mrs. Clinton to rein in drug prices. -Drug manufacturers say that they need to recoup the high cost of drug development by charging high prices during the period they hold effective monopolies. -A recent estimate, though contested, put the price of developing a drug from scratch as high as $2.6 billion . -Without regulatory constraints, results from such an investment could be used by anyone to develop and market drugs. -it may market the drug without competition . -And that’s why pharmaceutical in no vators pursue leads that can be patented. -Typically, a drug reaches the market with about 13 years left on its original patent, though in some cases it can be extended longer. -Though many people are shocked by the high prices of some prescription drugs — like Gilead Sciences’ Sovaldi, a new and effective treatment for hepatitis C that can cost $84,000 per treatment — they’re the inducement for innovation . -During the granted period of market exclusivity, pharmaceutical manufacturers can price drugs higher than they could if there were competition from firms marketing the same molecule. -Profits made during their period of market exclusivity are, in large part, why new drugs exist, though an argument could be made that the rewards far outstrip development costs. -Nevertheless, few companies will sink hundreds of millions of dollars into even a potentially lifesaving idea without the promise of a return on investment , nor should we reasonably expect them to. -By law, patents can be denied for ideas that may be good, but are not novel or are obvious . -It means that even potentially great drugs might not come to market because they were disclosed in the past — so they’re now not novel — or because they are a natural extension of existing knowledge — so they’re now obvious. -We don’t want to provide patent protection for profit-increasing activities that do not benefit patients, like “me too” drugs — drugs that are only trivially different from existing ones . -It’s a broader system intended to encourage innovation , which it does, while at the same time permitting individuals and firms to exploit obvious and old ideas freely, which is generally a valuable protection. -It’s a broader system intended to encourage innovation,

invalidation on these grounds — importantly, even for ideas that had never been developed into drugs and that still required clinical trials for F.D.A. approval. -It’s a Catch-22 that ends up excluding potentially valuable drugs from ever even being considered for development. -Mr. Roin, the M.I.T. professor, describes another approach: to provide a period of market exclusivity — long enough to motivate investment in clinical trials — to any organization addressing an unmet medical need with a drug that isn’t patentable. -Mr. Roin, the M.I.T. professor, describes another approach:

co-chief executive of Deutsche Bank , chuckled when he was asked on Monday whether the United States had become inhospitable to foreign banks. -Mr. Jain and the bank’s other co-chief executive, Jürgen Fitschen , insisted on Monday that they are not retreating from the idea of a universal bank that offers a full range of banking services to individuals and business worldwide. -That was the lowest share since Dealogic began keeping track in 1995 . -And they reaffirmed their determination to be a force on Wall Street . -In the first quarter, European banks accounted for 30 percent of global investment banking revenue, according to the data provider Dealogic. -But since the financial crisis, European investment banks have steadily lost market share to their United States rivals. -“If anything you would have to say this is a muddling through,” said Mr. Smith , who has written about Deutsche Bank’s strategy. -Mr. Smith pointed out that the name of the reorganization plan, Strategy 2020 , means that even if Deutsche Bank meets all its goals, it will still have been 12 years since the beginning of the financial crisis “before they get to some kind of equilibrium.” -Investors clearly shared Mr. Smith’s pessimism . -Deutsche Bank shares sank 4.6 percent on Monday in Frankfurt trading. -Mr. Smith pointed out that the name of the reorganization plan, Strategy 2020, means that even if Deutsche Bank meets all its goals, it will still have been 12 years since the beginning of the financial crisis “before they get to some kind of equilibrium.” -Meanwhile, aggressive law enforcement authorities last week extracted a $2.5 billion penalty from Deutsche Bank for misconduct related to an interest rate rigging scandal. -The penalty, as well as criticism from regulators who said the bank failed to recognize signs of misconduct , damaged the reputation of the bank as well as Mr. Jain, who was head of Deutsche Bank’s investment bank operations in London, where most of the mischief took place. -Regulators around the world, but especially in the United States , are demanding that all banks reduce risk. -Deutsche Bank was particularly vulnerable because of its large exposure to businesses that can be lucrative in good times but toxic in bad, like derivatives contracts . -The penalty, as well as criticism from regulators who said the bank failed to recognize signs of misconduct, damaged the reputation of the bank as well as Mr. Jain , who was head of Deutsche Bank’s investment bank operations in London, where most of the mischief took place. -The bank will aim for a 10 percent return on capital, down from a previous target of 12 percent and a far cry from the 25 percent return that Deutsche Bank sought to achieve before the financial crisis. -In addition, the bank said it aimed to cut costs by 3.5 billion euros , or about $3.8 billion, a year. -its American operations . -In addition, the bank said it aimed to cut costs by 3.5 billion euros, or about $3.8 billion , a year. -The bank will aim for a 10 percent return on capital, down from a previous target of 12 percent and a far cry from the 25 percent return that Deutsche Bank sought to achieve before the financial crisis. -But Mr. Jain argued that Deutsche Bank needed to be a force on Wall Street to serve blue-chip German companies that almost always have large operations in the United States. -But critics would say the bank, trapped in its image of itself as Germany’s beachhead in the financial world, is still trying to do too much. -Revenue from investment banking rose 15 percent, to €4.7 billion . -But Mr. Jain argued that Deutsche Bank needed to be a force on Wall Street to serve blue-chip German companies that almost always have large operations in the United States. -Operating profit for the unit fell by more than half, to €643 million , after subtracting a portion of the penalty paid in the rate-fixing scandal. -It is a great pity that as important a country as Turkey should continue to object as strongly as it does to what is by now so clearly the verdict of history, particularly after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s unprecedented and powerful offer of condolences last year to the victims’ grandchildren. -Confronted by the continuing and largely ignored persecution of Catholics and other Christians in the Middle East, it is no surprise that as forthright and courageous a pope as Francis would set aside diplomatic nicety and call genocide what it is: genocide. -Confronted by the continuing and largely ignored persecution of Catholics and

She is convinced that American determination, fitness, hustle and competitiveness must be broadened with accelerated development of technical skill if the United States is to keep pace with teams like Germany, France and Japan, the defending World Cup champion. -that American determination, fitness, hustle and competitiveness must be broadened with accelerated development of technical skill if the United States is to keep pace with teams like Germany, France and Japan, the defending World Cup champion. -While it is necessary for girls to have an environment in which they can feel comfortable and progress at their own rate, Heinrichs said, she sees an unintended consequence of Title IX: Fewer top-level girls seem to be honing their skills against boys today than when she and Hamm and Wambach developed into elite players. “It’s important because in Europe, they’re all playing up, and their 12- to 16-year-olds are playing against boys,” Heinrichs said. -“If more players and more club coaches saw the value in having their players in the most challenging environment that she could have on a daily basis, they would see how much faster she would grow.” Title IX, the federal law that prohibits discrimination based on gender, has been applied so effectively to sports over the past four decades that female soccer players in the United States have widespread access to their own leagues from a young age. -While it is necessary for girls to have an environment in which they can feel comfortable and progress at their own rate, Heinrichs said, she sees an unintended consequence of Title IX: Fewer top-level girls seem to be honing their skills against boys today than when she and Hamm and Wambach developed into elite players. -The film, A.F.P . said, “relied on documents, photos and videos, particularly from the months before Rabin’s assassination, including those showing speeches from politicians such as Netanyahu at rallies against the Oslo accords, where Rabin was depicted in a Nazi uniform.” -The film, A.F.P. said, “relied on documents, photos and videos, particularly from the months before Rabin’s assassination, including those showing speeches from politicians such as Netanyahu at rallies against the Oslo accords, where Rabin was depicted in a Nazi uniform .” -The film, A.F.P. said, “relied on documents, photos and videos, particularly from the months before Rabin’s assassination , including those showing speeches from politicians such as Netanyahu at rallies against the Oslo accords, where Rabin was depicted in a Nazi uniform.” -I hope a lot of Americans see this film — for the warning it offers to those who ignore or rationalize the divisive, bigoted campaigns of Donald Trump and Ben Carson and how they’re dragging their whole party across civic redlines, with candidates saying, rationalizing or ignoring more and more crazy, ill-informed stuff each week. -The film, A.F.P. said, “relied on documents, photos and videos, particularly from the months before Rabin’s assassination, including those showing speeches from politicians such as Netanyahu at rallies against the Oslo accords, where Rabin was depicted in a Nazi uniform.” -Trump actually launched his campaign on June 16 with a message of polarization, saying: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. -The Washington Post’s Fact Checker column gave him four Pinocchios, its highest rating for not telling the truth, noting: “ Trump’s repeated statements about immigrants and crime underscore a common public perception that crime is correlated with immigration, especially illegal immigration. -Trump actually launched his campaign on June 16 with a message of polarization, saying: “ When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best . -And some, I assume, are good people.” The Washington Post ’s Fact Checker column gave him four Pinocchios, its highest rating for not telling the truth, noting: “Trump’s repeated statements about immigrants and crime underscore a common public perception that crime is correlated with immigration, especially illegal immigration. -But that is a misperception; no solid data support it, and the data that do exist negate it . -And then Trump insulted John McCain, saying he was only a war hero because he got captured , adding, “I like people that weren’t captured, O.K.?” -As CNN reported, “ Trump, meanwhile, received four student deferments and one medical deferment to avoid serving in the Vietnam War.” -And then Trump insulted John McCain, saying he was only a war hero because he got captured, adding, “I like people that weren’t captured, O.K.?” McCain spent five and a half years as a P.O.W. in Vietnam and was repeatedly tortured and had his bones broken. -At a Trump town hall event, the first questioner began: “ We got a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims. We know our current president is one. -Carson stated, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation.” So a whole faith community gets delegitimized and another opportunity for someone to courageously stand up for what’s decent is squandered. -Trump could have let the man ask his question and then correct his racist nonsense, without blocking his free speech, which is exactly what McCain did in a similar situation . -Instead he tweeted: “ Christians need support in our country (and around the world), their religious liberty is at stake! Obama has been horrible, I will be great.” -Instead he tweeted: “Christians need support in our country (and around the world), their religious liberty is at stake!

mounting evidence that too little sodium may be as bad as too much, if not worse. -It is frustrating enough when we over-read the results of epidemiologic studies and make the mistake of believing that correlation is the same as causation. -It’s maddening, however, when we ignore the results of randomized controlled trials , which can prove causation, to continue down the wrong path. -I

mishearings are likely to capsize meaning, to overwhelm it with phonologically similar but meaningless or absurd sound forms, even though the general form of a sentence is preserved. -But although there are occasional, unprintable mishearings that make me blush, a vast majority do not admit any simple Freudian interpretation. -Mishearings are not hallucinations, but like hallucinations they utilize the usual pathways of perception and pose as reality — it does not occur to one to question them. -One’s surroundings, one’s wishes and expectations, conscious and unconscious, can certainly be co-determinants in mishearing , but the real mischief lies at lower levels, in those parts of the brain involved in phonological analysis and decoding. -One’s surroundings, one’s wishes and expectations, conscious and unconscious, can certainly be co-determinants in mishearing, but the real mischief lies at lower levels, in those parts of the brain involved in phonological analysis and decoding . -One’s surroundings, one’s wishes and expectations, conscious and unconscious , can certainly be co-determinants in mishearing, but the real mischief lies at lower levels, in those parts of the brain involved in phonological analysis and decoding. -While I often mishear words , I seldom mishear music: notes, melodies, harmonies, phrasings remain as clear and rich as they have been all my life (though I often mishear lyrics). -Playing or even hearing music (at least traditional scored music) involves not just the analysis of tone and rhythm — it also engages one’s procedural memory and emotional centers in the brain; musical pieces are held in memory and allow anticipation. -While I often mishear words, I seldom mishear music: notes, melodies, harmonies, phrasings remain as clear and rich as they have been all my life (though I often mishear lyrics). -There is clearly something about the way the brain processes music that makes it robust, even in the face of imperfect hearing; and, conversely, something about the nature of spoken language that makes it much more vulnerable to deficiencies or distortions. -Was Freud entirely wrong then about slips and mishearings? Of course not . -And yet there is often a sort of style or wit — a “ dash ”— in these instantaneous inventions; they reflect, to some extent, one’s own interests and experiences, and I rather enjoy them. -Collecting mishearings over the past few years without any explicit selection or bias, I am forced to think that Freud underestimated the power of neural mechanisms, combined with the open and unpredictable nature of language, to sabotage meaning, to generate mishearings that are irrelevant both in terms of context and of subconscious motivation. -Only in the realm of mishearing — at least, my mishearings — can a biography of cancer become a biography of Cantor (one of my favorite mathematicians), tarot cards turn into pteropods, a grocery bag into a poetry bag, all-or-noneness into oral numbness, a porch into a Porsche, and a mere mention of Christmas Eve a command to “Kiss my feet!” -For instance, the tax authorities have increased the use of digital filing methods , cutting into the mountains of paperwork. -New legislation requiring retailers to estimate the amount of sales taxes embedded in the prices of their products is raising awareness among some Brazilians about the taxes they pay on everyday purchases. -That, in turn, seems to be stoking anger about the deplorable quality of the education, health care, policing and other public services they receive in return.

thesis for why smartphones are fundamentally changing how people are consuming information: Phones have small screens that are annoying to type on, and people have grown so addicted to their phones that they carry them everywhere and go to bed with them by their side. -Also, in a shift with big implications for his company’s sway over the Internet, smartphone users spend the bulk of their time

the real prize in mobile search was “whoever figures out what questions people really want to ask their phones while they are walking around, and how they will ask those questions.” -That is “very

To the Editor: As a Democrat who supports Israel, I am saddened and dismayed that its prime minister would use the podium of one of our most hallowed political institutions to bad-mouth a deal that has not even been struck. -Your claim that the negotiations place tough constraints on Iran rings hollow, based on the permissibility of Iran’s keeping its nuclear installations and the large number of centrifuges still allowed. -Furthermore, a 10-year limit to an agreement makes it almost worthless. -As a Democrat who supports Israel, I am saddened and dismayed that its prime minister would use the podium of one of our most hallowed political institutions to bad-mouth a deal that has not even been struck. -Your claim that the negotiations place tough constraints on Iran rings hollow, based on the permissibility of Iran’s keeping its nuclear installations and the large number of centrifuges still allowed. -At the same time he made the Republican side of the aisle react like a bunch of sixth graders cheering for Justin Bieber , since the net effect of the speech was to diminish the efforts by the administration to suppress Iran’s hunger for nuclear capacity and make President Obama look weak. -At the same time he made the Republican side of the aisle react like a bunch of sixth graders cheering for Justin Bieber, since the net effect of the speech was to diminish the efforts by the administration to suppress Iran’s hunger for nuclear capacity and make President Obama look weak. -Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech was a fascinating demonstration of political savvy — Israeli political savvy. -At the same time he made the Republican side of the aisle react like a bunch of sixth graders cheering for Justin Bieber, since the net effect of the speech was to diminish the efforts by the administration to suppress Iran’s hunger for nuclear capacity and make President Obama look weak. -At the same time he made the Republican side of the aisle react like a bunch of sixth graders cheering for Justin Bieber, since the net effect of the speech was to diminish the efforts by the administration to suppress Iran’s hunger for nuclear capacity and make President Obama look weak. -Equally problematic for the Patriots, their banged-up offensive line cannot seem to block anyone and now must keep J.J.

in which six people were killed when a train plowed into a sport-utility vehicle at a grade crossing in Westchester County, N.Y., cast renewed attention on the constantly lurking danger posed by the mixing of cars, trains and human nature at the tens of thousands of rail crossings across the country. -Two people have been killed and six more injured. -Over the last week, reporters for The New York Times visited the 10 crossings that the railroad administration’s accident-prediction algorithm deems the most likely sites for crashes in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut — to examine their configurations and talk to people about the safety concerns. -But the 10 crossings, four in New Jersey and six on Long Island, examined by The Times are easily among the most hazardous in the country.

increase the chances of a collision, like roads and tracks meeting at harsh angles and traffic signals in proximity that, in heavy traffic, can contribute to drivers’ getting stuck on the tracks. -The less expensive safety measures — automatic gates , lights, bells and signs — are largely in place in the New York region. -After one Long Island Rail Road train passed through, heading east, the man

lowered in front of them, its bells sounding and lights flashing. -“There’s another train coming !” -Over the last few years, employment has been growing and inflation has been low . -Yet there is one obvious factor that drives American living standards but risks being lost in this mix: wages . -But annual wage growth has been stuck at about 2 percent going on six years now. -Janet Yellen, the Fed chairwoman , happens to agree with many of these wage-conscious analysts on a wide range of other economic issues, raising the possibility the Fed might indeed move in this direction. -Ms. Yellen gave her answer in a recent speech in San Francisco : No. -Ms. Yellen ’s stance offers a reason to explain those benefits. -For example, the job market is not as tight as its current level of 5.5 percent unemployment suggests. -So here goes: The current unemployment rate is an unreliable indicator of the job market’s strength. -The unemployment rate has long informed Fed policy by signaling the extent of slack in the labor market , but in recent years, it has been biased down in this regard. -Indeed, Mr. Reed said he had been more warmly received in Europe where, in a series of recent shows, he

and not reverse it . -that people who have health insurance spend more on medical care than people who don’t. -Those facts don’t mean that giving people health insurance is a waste of money, since those dollars spent may improve their health and financial security . -There’s strong evidence from a variety of sources that people who have health insurance spend more on medical care than people who don’t. -But there are only a few situations in which giving someone more health care will actually end up saving money. -Giving people health insurance often enables them to get just this sort of

care system has to test hundreds of healthy people — and give about a hundred of them cholesterol-lowering drugs for at least five years . -Counseling on contraception is one because the costs of prenatal care, delivery and pediatric care associated with an unplanned pregnancy are so substantial. -But a lot of the preventive health measures that we tend to value a lot — mammography, screening for diabetes — tend to cost more than they save. -There’s also the unavoidable fact that every time you prevent people from dying from one disease, they are likely to live longer and incur future medical expenses . -Researchers like Mr. Cohen , who study these trade-offs, say we need to think more broadly about the value of what our preventive spending buys, not the narrow question of whether it saves money. -Early evidence suggests they are facing less financial stress as a result of their coverage. -For many, their new coverage means they can get free checkups and preventive disease screenings , and can more easily pay for big health care needs, like prescription drugs and operations. -More people in the health care system means more dollars spent on health care . -For many,

I went down to the outlet and found this pan. -The pan will season itself with each cooking. -I cannot say enough about USA Pans ! -The pans cook evenly, they look good after cooking and the pattern on the bottom of the pan does not come on the baked product! -After dropping the pan a few times to get the air bubbles out, cakes our pretty much leveled as we rarely have to level the cakes. -We have bought almost the entire line of USA pans including the deep dish pizza pans and we have not been disappointed! -If you want your baked goods to come out perfect and without much fuss, then these pans are for YOU! -I own a Dyson , well, 2 to be honest, so compared to the Dyson, it's no where near as powerful. -However, it has attachments to clean the stairs and is very lightweight , which is nice. -It also has a scented filter you can use which makes the house smell good. -The bagless canister is easy to empty . -So, overall, for me, it's just "ok" -nothing spectacular but good enough. -I bought 2 CAI Tylose Powder a few months ago . -For fondant i add a really small amount to the fondant i wish to use to make decorations. -I use it to harden fondant and gumpaste , it works great. -For gumpaste, a lot of it is needed, and it's actually added to the recipe. -Once the gumpaste is made, it has to be stored in an air sealed bag . -I purchased this Queen Size Platform Bed over a year ago and have taken it apart 3 times due to moving. -I have to say even after 3 moves, this bed has held up fairly well . -I purchased this Queen Size Platform Bed over a year ago and have taken it apart 3 times due to moving. -The drawers on the bottom are nice for personal items . -Overall I have enjoyed this bed, and would recommend due to its price and durability . -I replaced a much cheaper one that had lasted me five years, but that was sagging and nearly toppling over-- plus the zipper had broken. -Under the blazers , I have my laundry basket, and under my dresses, there's still room on the bottom shelf for other folded up clothes. -I replaced a much cheaper one that had lasted me five years , but that was sagging and nearly toppling over-- plus the zipper had broken. -I love this one, even without the cover that I'm still waiting for . -Very sturdy, and though less wide than my old one, actually a much better use of space: I have room under it, because of the wheels, to put shoes in, and because it is metal , the bottom shelf is usable which it wasn't on the old one (had been just cardboard). -I wish I could give this pan a better review however, the one I received did not come properly "Pre-Seasoned." I can detect rust underneath which was not cleaned off prior to factory seasoning. -Some of the rust is alredy surfacing . -The last three items I purchased via AMAZON have the same problem. -One reason Lodge pre-seasoned products are higher is becasue they are supposed to be pre-seasoned and ready for immediate use. -AMAZON should contact Lodge regarding this continuing trend. -I have used a lot of similar products in the past and have always been disappointed . -This is the first wine chiller that really works! -The only minor difficulty in in removing the bottle from the cooling container . -the chilling panel hugs the bottle so tighly it is a little difficult removing it . -It is ideal for white wines . -While I can't speak to the long-term reliability of this product (only had it a little while), I can say that providing several feet of tubing to feed into a bulk bottle of hand soap was a stroke of genius. -All of these in-sink soap dispensers have inexplicably narrow-necked bottles which makes them very difficult to fill without crawling underneath the sink and unscrewing the bottle. -All of these in-sink soap dispensers have inexplicably narrow-necked bottles which makes them very difficult to fill without crawling underneath the sink and unscrewing the bottle . -If you try to fill from above with typically-thick consumer hand soap, it simply overflows and spills all over your counter . -Prime from a glass of water , and when it starts dispensing, switch over to the soap. -My initial complaint would be that there were no instructions . -I liked the stainless steel handle for the "ooh shiny" and a bit of high tech effect . -It might be nice if the handle collapsed out of the way or was removable . -When the water bounced and sizzled , I put on my steak that I'd had marinating. -I was in desperate need of a can opener , and this little guy saved the day. -It cut into the lid so smoothly I couldn't tell it was working . -I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets. -I kept turning and suddenly the lid was off . -I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets . -Hint: Press and hold "STOP" Then use the "START" button to cycle the flashing hours, "STOP" then minutes .3) If you set the time, but don't press start (for example, waiting for something to come to a boil) and it takes more than a couple minutes, the set time is cleared, and it goes back to clock mode so you have to enter your time again.4) -The magnet is -barely- strong enough, and leaves scratches on my stainless hood .I've tried a bunch of different digital kitchen timers, and this one has stuck around longer than most. -It's not great, but it's not as bad as some . -It's quick and easy to set any time up to 99 minutes .2) Beeper keeps beeping until you turn it off - doesn't stop after a minute3) -Not a lot, but over the course of a set of batteries it can be 40 minutes or so.2) -I bought the largerCrockpot SCVP609-KLS Smart-Pot 6-Quart Oval-Shaped Slow Cooker with Little Dipper , Whitefor my mom about two years ago and we have used it numerous times to cook many things and have never once had any issues with it. -I bought this smaller round one at a local department store and it performs just as well as the larger one. -I bought the largerCrockpot SCVP609-KLS Smart-Pot 6-Quart Oval-Shaped Slow Cooker with Little Dipper, Whitefor my mom about two years ago -The only reason food will boil over is if you overfill it or you use too much water . -For instance, when I make a beef roast I only add about a third cup of water. -That's why the Ozeri Epicurean Digital Kitchen Scale is coming in real handy for my kitchen. -This awesome scale would be great for measuring your amount of food for dieters or people watching their calorie intake also. -It doesn't take up a lot of space on your kitchen counter and would look great sitting with your other kitchen appliances. -You will know the specific measurement of your food and there will be no more guessing how much you ate. -The light is too bright . -The cord comes with certain length (~ 4 feet I think ), which made it difficult to place it somewhere where it can give heat from behind. -This heats up the object where the light fells, so better not to use in narrow space ( potential fire hazard ). -Also I wanted to use it to warm up my toes, but it was not possible to change the angle down to floor ( probably safety issue for carpet).Might be good if you do mind the light or want to use it ourdoor. -While this Hoover vacuum is more expensive than others, it was well worth the investment. -This vacuum maintains its power and suction practically the life of the battery . -The battery itself charges in I think about 3 hours and there is an indicator on the base that flashes when its ready for use. -and there is an indicator on the base that flashes when its ready for use . -This vacuum takes care of that fur on the couch and car seats in no time. -Well it's cute, and it works, however it's very difficult to grind the peppercorns and really doesn't put much out. -I pretty much have to grind for 5 minutes to get enough to speckle anything. -I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) -I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) My husband became obsessed with black pepper after he met me (I used to coat everything in it) but he uses the crappy pepper that has zero flavor when we go out to eat. -Well it's cute , and it works, however it's very difficult to grind the peppercorns and really doesn't put much out. -The downside was that it is pretty big compared to most other basters I have owned and a bit awkward to use. -For me, normal basters with a bulb on top that can be squeezed from side to side are much easier to use. -It comes with its own little cleaning brush which is a plus. -I received baster for free to review from the Amazon Vine program . -On the quality side, I found this to be a well made product. -The surface is large enough to place a mixing bowl on top and weight inside contents. -I bought it mostly for weighing meat portions when cooking dinner. -This product is also light and does not take up a lot of space. -This product is also light and does not take up a lot of space . -I find that this scale makes it easy to keep track of my calorie intake. -They are equal in speed and accuracy , although the more expensive turns itself off faster. -I have both the

the double wall and leak all over the place for about 15 minutes. -The lid does not leak on the second. -If you don't need the cup holder, then get the keg shaped version in the same 34 oz size.

and finally after 4-5 weeks I threw it away. -When I removed the THREE fitted covers I had on to keep it protected, and the pillowcase, I found that it had turned yellow and crumbly. -My previous one was 3 years old and didn't look this way. -I have a shoulder injury that bothers me at night..with this I do not need an addition small pillow torest my shoulder on. -Like another reviewer has already said, what do you expect when the description said miniature skillet? -With a little ham, a sausage patty, or two strips of cut up bacon and a slice of cheese, one can enjoy a better sandwich than can be found at the local hamburger place. -I scramble 1 to 2 eggs depending on the size egg I happen to have on hand and cover the skillet with a saucer or salad plate to styeam the egg till solid. -With a little ham, a sausage patty , or two strips of cut up bacon and a slice of cheese, one can enjoy a better sandwich than can be found at the local hamburger place. -A really great price for great

was never dropped or mishandled. -I pulled out the old Cuisinart and it works like a charm, even at five years old. -I have an "old fashioned" stove with electric burners versus the new-fangled smooth

-Poking around on Amazon I came across this Pie Crust Maker and figured for around $5.00 bucks its worth a shot. -Best money I have spent yet on baking accessories!Just flour both sides, pat a little flour on dough and put it in, zip it up and roll it out. -I followed the recipe that came with my new Cuisinart for Pie Crust -Cleanup was actually very easy even with the dough kinda stuck into the sides of the bag. -Poking around on Amazon I came across this Pie Crust Maker and figured for around $5.00 bucks its worth a shot. -Very pleased I was able to order exactly the right size/weight rating due to the very detailed instructions that specify that the magnetic force is reduced by sideways application which is how I had planned to use one hook. -These hooks are exactly as described; remarkably strong even upside down, excellent for hanging anything from a heavy plant from a metal beam on my patio to a seasonal wreath on my front door. -These hooks are exactly as described; remarkably strong even upside down, excellent for hanging anything from a heavy plant from a metal beam on my patio to a seasonal wreath on my front door. -Very pleased I was able to order exactly the right size/weight rating due to the very detailed instructions that specify that the magnetic force is reduced by sideways application which is how I had planned to use one hook. -I ordered this wine cellar to replace one that had stopped working. -My old one was also a 6 bottle cellar but when I compared the dimensions listed here on Amazon,this one was bigger. -It was 3 inches taller. -The dimensions of this wine cellar are 20 inches deep X 14.5 inches tall X 10 inches wide . -I am not a fan of most "single use" items and am not into having a gadget for every little task, but this lid rack solved a big frustration for me with canning, and so I feel it is worth it. -Lids go in the rack, rack goes in the water, and then you can use your magnetic wand to pull the lids out of the rack and drop them onto the jars - you never touch the lid and it goes on to the jar completely clean. -I had been tossing the lids into boiling water and then trying to get them out with either tongs, or the magnetic wand - that resulted in a lot of frustration and burned fingers. -I had been tossing the lids into boiling water and then trying to get them out with either tongs , or the magnetic wand - that resulted in a lot of frustration and burned fingers. -I recently bought a plastic set of measuring cups and after taking them out of the dishwasher found that the marked measurements had washed off! -I recently bought a plastic set of measuring cups and after taking them out of the dishwasher found that the marked measurements had washed off! -One con is that they do not have any other measurement on them, so the one cup only measures one cup ( I do like cups that include smaller measurements inside)The cups come together on a plastic ring , but are easily detachable. -A good buy ! -The measurements on these cups are on the handle and made of raised plastic so they won't wash off. -I got two of these: one is 6,00 BTU , another is 8,00 BTU.Both models have the same design flows.1. -I got two of these: one is 6,00 BTU, another is 8,00 BTU .Both models have the same design flows.1. -I got two of these: one is 6,00 BTU, another is 8,00 BTU.Both models have the same design flows .1. -As some other reviewers mentioned, no matter how you turn the little plastic things, the unit blows the air in one direction .Makes me think that Frigidaire engineering is faulty. -I have always used Mr.Coffee ever since they appeared in the 1970's I believe when Joe Dimaggio was their spokesman. -The most objectionable thing I have against this coffee maker is all the noise it makes after it has quit perking .It heaves and chugs and sputters and spits it sounds like it has emphasema... -I have always used Mr.Coffee ever since they appeared in the 1970's I believe when Joe Dimaggio was their spokesman. -Recvd in excellent condition and very attractive. -This fan does the job well and looks great on your desk without taking up too much room . -It is powerful enough to cool one person on either of the two available settings, and it's nice and quiet. -It is powerful enough to cool one person on either of the two available settings, and it's nice and quiet. The oscillating function works great. -The two things I find mildly annoying:1) When turning the fan off while it is oscillating, it stops at whichever position it was oscillating at. While it's not a big deal, it drives me crazy, because I like it to be straight and aligned with the base while not in use, and if you turn it off at random, the top part may be pointing off the base to either side. -a mirror shine , is designed with nice curves and will look awesome on your table with a perfectly roasted turkey or roast beef. -This pan is fundamentally different .In fact, my problem with this pan is that it looks too good. -It is polished to a mirror shine, is designed with nice curves and will look awesome on your table with a perfectly roasted turkey or roast beef. -In fact, my problem with this pan is that it looks too good.

grind evenly . -They all stay in the chamber during chopping, whereas the crank style drops them through a grate once they're ground small enough . -I end up with some big pieces that never got

The one thing I still don't like is having to clean out the basket after every cup. -Installation was a snap as the wall stud was centered behind the TV, and I had installed the whole thing in less than 15 mins . -If you're like me and you have AV equipment with multiple cable connections , then there's no way those cables will fit in the space allotted for the covers to snap into place . -I needed something stylish but strong to go with a wall-mounted flat panel TV and this fit the bill perfectly. Installation was a snap as the wall stud was centered behind the TV, and I had installed the whole thing in less than 15 mins. -I needed something stylish but strong to go with a wall-mounted flat panel TV and this fit the bill perfectly. -Overall though, an excellent unit. Highly recommend. -After quite unsuccessfully trying to limit my inhuman food portions , I bought a food scale. -That is huge when it comes to dense calorie foods . -I compared the two and the old scale was off by whole ounces . -I compared the two and the old scale was off by whole ounces. That is huge when it comes to dense calorie foods. -After a couple months of use, I noticed myself tapping the scale, moving the items around, and it dawned on me. I was still cheating my portions !!! -This is accomplished by running a bristled vacuum wand over the outer surface grating. -It sits in my home office , and does its thing quite well: cleansing the air, and overall improving the living conditions in a space in which I spend entirely too much time. -I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid-thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done. -Austin's design is one they stand behind with a 5 year warranty , and a filter rated at needing replacement once every 5 years... -The base setting is actually pretty quiet, but the middle and upper settings are noisy - the trade off is that at these settings it moves A LOT of air, which is what you want if you're trying to quick cleanse a room. -I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid-thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done. -The base setting is actually pretty quiet, but the middle and upper settings are noisy - the trade off is that at these settings it moves A LOT of air, which is what you want if you're trying to quick cleanse a room. -As any one who has done the research can tell you, the true expense with HEPA filters is not necessarily the up-front purchase cost, but the cost of replacement filters over the course of the years. -If you're looking for a bedroom model, you might look into an Alen A350 HEPA Air Purifier (wall mountable and quieter.) -Austin's design is one they stand behind with a 5 year warranty , and a filter rated at needing replacement once every 5 years... -It's very difficult to judge when the eggs will be hard as golf balls or with liquid whites. -Usually four minutes on the dot and I get firm whites and runny yolk. -If they had included a recipe guide or any kind of instructions for cooking this would be five stars. -My husband and I have poached eggs every weekend. -Clean up is a breeze and the water comes to a boil in record time. -Thank you so much Amazon.com for the great price, good value and prompt delivery. -Thank you so much Amazon.com for the great price, good value and prompt delivery . -an excellent purchase. -Useful addition to my kitchen This item arrived on time and is an excellent purchase. -I like it very much and am VERY glad I ordered it. -Spend 5 dollars more and purchase a worthy product. -And this, I might add is my first use, after a light handwashing to make sure the cup was clean before I drank from it. -This is the first time I have EVER reviewed a product on Amazon, but I felt compelled to try and prevent others from making my mistake. -I read the reviews, but being the stubborn person that I am, I still counted on the Cusinart reputation to come through and prove the reviews wrong.. -This is the first time I have EVER reviewed a product on Amazon, but I felt compelled to try and prevent others from making my mistake . -While they do seem to hold a good amount of stuff, it seems unlikely you'll hit the 25-lb weight limit unless you're lugging home bags of canned goods--so you're probably safe there. -The handle s are not long enough to go over your shoulder, so you will have to carry these bags by hand. -I think these are nice to have on hand for smaller shopping trips where the bags will come in handy but not see too much use, but I will be purchasing some larger (and hopefully more well-made) bags that can fit over the shoulder for daily use, including grocery shopping and larger trips. -These bags are a decent price and very handy to have stashed in your purse, messenger bag, briefcase or glove compartment . -Size-wise, they are about the same size as your standard plastic grocery bag and about as useful. -It is surprisingly powerful for a cordless and once fully charge d seems to last quite a long time until it needs recharging. -I have seven cats and a combination of hardwood and carpeting in my home and this is the first cordless that I have found to pick up both cat hair on the carpet and on bare floors. -I have seven cats and a combination of hardwood and carpeting in my home and this is the first cordless that I have found to pick up both cat hair on the carpet and on bare floors . -It is surprisingly powerful for a cordless and once fully charged seems to last quite a long time until it needs recharging. -I only have a few minor complaints being that it is a bit heavier and noisier than other cordless vacuums and the head is somewhat floppy. -The large rack holds a huge number of bottles that allows us to store up to 56 of our favorites at any one time. -I'm not worried at all about filling it up, the rack is heavy duty enough to be able to hold all 56 bottles it's designed to hold. -The wood is beautiful and eye catching. -It took just about 30 minutes to put it together, and the instructions were simple but effective. -The rack is of solid build and seems to be something that will last for several decades . -That said, the pans non-stick surface is still very non-stick , and the cooking surface appears to be quality. -EDIT 7/1/2014: After dropping one of the lids, the plastic "Farberware" log broke and fell out . -Sure enough, the pan had a 2-inch warp to it. -After the chicken was finished cooking, and the pan had cooled, the warp was gone, and the pan back to its normal flat . -However, if having a fitting lid is something you really want/need, you need to know that you won't get one with 8-inch skillet. All the other pans have fitting lids. -Again, when I decided to look for a toaster, it must be practical and the price would be reasonable,too . -Otherwise, for the first reason I bought it does a good job! It's a space saver plus I got a good deal on it since I used the "super saver" for shipping and an addtional discount if you spend more...$125 more so I decided to get other new appliances for my kitchen, I needed it anyway... -The only thing is that they should try to consider putting a timer for the oven, like any other oven toasters out there for convenience...because you really need to watch over it while in use. -I found this product which my husband liked, too because of the oven feature! -I haven't used it much at all in the last month and a half that I've owned it. -To the point where all my waffles split in half and I have to dig them out. -Essentially, I there $40 down the drain and my kids, who love waffles, are going to be devastated. -When it first arrived, I was a little put off by the looseness of the hinge in the back because it wobbles every time you move the lid. -Essentially, I there $40 down the drain and my kids , who love waffles, are going to be devastated. -The dual steamer basket allows for you to cook for just one, or a whole family. -You will have to plan your meals to put the longer cooking item on the bottom . -The max time that can be set at one time is 60 minutes , but as most things are cooked in half that time. -The digital controls are a change over other units I've used which had an old style mechanical kitchen timer. -I've been using this frying pan for a few months. -I've been using this frying pan for a few months . -I use grape seed oil because of its high smoke point and the fact that it doesn't break down like olive oil and clog your arteries. -This tea kettle is heavy for its size so I assume it is not too thin. -It boils enough water at once for my 6 cup tea pot or for ramen and because the kettle is not too big, it boils quick. -The handle doesn't get too hot to pick up either, although I have an electric stove I don't know about a gas range. -This tea kettle is heavy for its size so I assume it is not too thin. -The only thing that's a bit quirky is that if you're using it just to store CDs, the vertical openings aren't uniform . -This comes in a deceptively small box, and uses the usual oddball hardware clamping devices to hold it together. -This comes in a deceptively small box, and uses the usual oddball hardware clamping devices to hold it together. -You need a reasonable size workspace to assemble it, and if you have a couple decks of cards or thin books it helps because the base is deeper than the unit as a whole. -Like my other press, the plunger has a two part filtration system , they rinse off well for cleaning and make it easy to stay tidy (I'm a terrible housekeeper and easy to clean kitchen tools are a huge bonus in my mind). -I'm using this press for tea, loose leaves of course, usually blue flower earl grey or Irish breakfast tea, my two fave flavors. -I'm using this press for tea, loose leaves of course, usually blue flower earl grey or Irish breakfast tea , my two fave flavors. -The great improvement in this coffee press, compared to the press I already owned is that this one has a glass canister part for holding the hot liquid. -My old coffee press had a clear plastic canister, which meant that I could only use it for tea because using it for coffee would have made the canister smell like coffee and then all subsequent cups of tea would have tasted a bit like a coffee+tea hybrid, eek, that is a bad, bad combo. -I ended up looping the flap over the bar and pinning it with a safety pin to the bottom of the organizer. Works really well to hold books, book light, tissues and other small items for my older two, who are top bunk dwellers. -Works really well to hold books, book light, tissues and other small items for my older two, who are top bunk dwellers. -Overall though I am pleased with the purchase. -It was a lot less than the one bunk bed organizer advertised and with the safety pins, it works perfectly. -This is definetly the most Beautiful Toaster I have ever seen, a Bright Candy Apple Red . -The end that is cut . -I love my Beautiful Candy Apple Red Toaster and the Price too was Excellent . -I'm very happy with my purchase. -Some have complained about not toasting one side , I read the directions before use and it explained all of the things that were discussed in the reviews negatively. -CONS:- Tank is small, 1 gallon is for approx. -PROS:- Nice design.- Blue lights can be switch On and Off.- Easy to clean.- Good amount of steam.- Tank is easy to open and carry. -CONS:- Tank is small, 1 gallon is for approx. 8 hours . -So You have to refill every day .- -So You have to refill every day.- Steam only goes up straight , the angled attachment seems not working great. -I purchased a BXB 10c from Amazon about 3 1/2 years ago. -Well I attempted to fix it myself thinking any product of this type would have an inline fuse . -Their answer was, "Your warranty is 3 days past warranty." I asked to you ever fix these anymore and their reply was "NO." I asked why not, and her reply was, "Bunn has found them to be too troublesome to fix and it's just cheaper to warranty them and then when off warranty tell the customer to throw them away!" Whaaaat? -I purchased a BXB 10c from Amazon about 3 1/2 years ago . -I called Bunn Service and told them about the problem, heat plate wouldn't work, On/Off light on the hot plate quit working and the next day the heating element for heating the self contained reservoir holding onboard water also quit working. -The Primula Coffee Brew Buddy Single Cup Coffee Maker promises convenience and that it delivers. -I tried this with my favorite French Roast expecting this to be like the "socks" popular in Latin America. -I poured as slowly as I could, but this is more of soaked coffee than drip coffee so my coffee (after repeated tries) tastes as muddy as a camping trip. -I used what I thought was a generous measure and was careful that my water was boiling hot . -Think this might be great for brewing tea , so I'll hang on to it for the next time I'm sick -I think these pitchers are great. -Overall, I would recommend these. -My reason for purchasing them was because of the airtight feature . -I needed something portable to take on camping trips or picnics . -Unlike some other reviewers, I did not have any problem with leakage while pouring . -I had gotten this because I wanted to have water for tea and hot chocolate available without using a microwave. -I have it sitting next to my kitchen sink . -I also use it for instant oatmeal and any other water based foods. -I love it because it is quick and can add hot water while cooking in no time . -I would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to get rid of the toxns from using a microwave , or if you just want hot water available in a split second. -My only criticism is that in the rare circumstance when I'm holding something VERY hot (e.g. a tray fresh from a stove on 400F+) for 15+seconds my hands will start to get hot. -My favorite thing about these mitts is that they can get completely wet on the outside but still remain dry on the inside because of the silicone exterior and cloth-padded interior, providing both utility and comfort. -This is a situation I almost never run into, so, if I could, I'd give this product 4.5 stars. -My favorite thing about these mitts is that they can get completely wet on the

-but I was having problems with it within 2 months . -I don't usually give bad reviews on Amazon , and I buy a lot of stuff here, but thought I had to make people aware of what they will be getting in to if ordering this particular Model. -I wish I could leave this coffee maker 0 stars... -with 3-4 folks camping, i struggled with 4qt vs 6qt. -The lid that holds charcoals is a must since most recipes call for coals to be on the top and the rim around the lid ensures easy placement. -One thing they do to help you get consistent results is to use regular charcoal briquettes, this made our first few tries successful. -Lodge Logic quality speaks for itself. -The 6qt 12in is pretty heavy but is perfect size for our campouts. -No dents, chips, discolorations. -I've had great success with fiesta product ordering thru Amazon . -I have lots of fiesta in various colors but did not have this platter , now I do. -I chose the red because it fits in with any meal but especially great at holidays such as Christmas . -Wrapped tightly in lots of bubble wrap , it arrived safely. -It does not sweat, it does not leak, it is easy to clean, the opening is wide enough to add ice and it sure keeps liquids icy cold for a very long time. -I take mine to bed with some ice in water; 12 hours later the ice is pretty much the same size and of course, the water is still icy cold. -I love the pop up lid and the flow of liquids from the opening is wonderful. -I ordered three, then ordered the 22 ounce bottle and about to order a second one now. -This will come in handy for my little grandson when on trips this summer. -Had high hopes for this Vornado , but not sure if I like it. -The Great Room where I use it is probably bigger than what this humidifier can handle, but it seems to at least get the humidity above 30% , which is far better than the 25% we sometimes get in the winter. -The Great Room where I use it is probably bigger than what this humidifier can handle, but it seems

loud . -After reading several of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam, but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using

main areas and open spaces . -I have had an upright Dyson for at least 6-7 years , but hated using the attachments - if you have ever tried using them on stairs or to get under furniture, you would understand. -It is not too heavy, so it is easy to use on stairs and you hardly even know it is following you when it rolls behind you. -I have had an upright Dyson for at least 6-7 years, but hated using the attachments - if you have ever tried using them on stairs or to get under furniture , you would understand. -I also love the way the attachments clip on , rather than just slip on. -I rotate

problems, bed time used to be nightmare, most mattresses don't hold up as advertised. -Every month I rotate the mattress, don't know if have to but old habits die hard. -I have a cover over the

make a good, basic cup of coffee using a machine with a small foot print , this will work. -I love the automatic shut off as I tend to be absent minded first thing in the morning. -Or the k cups that most of those more expensive makers use. -Or the k cups that most of those more expensive makers use. -They're each 8 gallons , for a total of 16. -What's even more frustrating is that the bags (currently using 13 gallon ) are only partially full, so I feel like I'm wasting bags along with having to do more work. -Having tried a trashcan with an automatic lid before, I much prefer the 'step-to'open' style. -Keeps your hands clean, without having to stand there waving your hands around like some kind of air traffic controller .Overall, it's a good trashcan, I just wish both containers were 16 gallons (or even 13), and not a paltry 8 gallons. -Otherwise, I like the design and look of the trashcan. -Max Burton 6200 Deluxe 1800-Watt Induction Cooktop It stopped heating on

thin. -While it will likely do the job, if any stress is placed upon it, it will probably rip, as it is also quite thin . -Granite counters have taken a toll on my glassware and so, being down to a mis-matched 6 or so remaining, I was torn between plastic ( cheesy ) -Sure, with a hard enough drop, they will still break but not easily . -I believe that these glasses are of restaurant/bar/commercial quality and will last a good long time and for the price, I think that I may just buy another set for back-stock. -I believe that these glasses are of

storage, so I bought this one a few weeks ago I'm back, baby, I'm back!So far, I've only used it for cakes, cookies, etc. haven't tried any of the attachments, that will be soon. -Unbelievable array of attachments/equipment , these mixers do SO much more than just mix my cookies! -I purchased this in conjunction with a bread maker . -I have made some french baguettes with this that are better than the ones they sell at Whole Foods and Hannafords(a local supermarket chain). -Make sure that you place the dough in the pan for its last rise so you don't deflate it moving it over before cooking . -Also, make sure to slice it down the middle or in strips across the top , the top strips work better for me, this is to let it expand properly when cooking. -Also, make sure to slice it down the middle or in strips across the top, the top strips work better for me, this is to let it expand properly when cooking. -First and foremost, it has adequate power for the job and the rotary beaters are

Seriously it took two people to do it . -While you are screwing in the screws someone else will have to hold the rest of the stand so it doesn't keep falling apart (because the screws weren't tight) . This product looks good when its done , but it should have been easier to put together. -OH not to mention one of the stands are wobbly ; like what is going on! -I shop on Amazon faithfully and I am very disappointed . -Slice is either too thin or too thick (skipping a slot). -This often resulted in badly cut slices for 3/4 of my loaf . -Thin slices of soft bread is difficult to stand up on its own, and easily get squashed by ever slight pressure of pushing the loaf into the plastic end piece. This often resulted in badly cut slices for 3/4 of my loaf. -Short or dense breads are get better slicing results , but that is not the type of bread my family likes. -It even comes with a jigger ! -I

cool air was abound. -PS: Hats of to the supplier because I received my order in TWO DAYS ... -And I'm using it in a Living room that is 440 sqft . -And truthfully I don't find the unit to be loud for

the water, so I figured it's time for a new one. -I use it to boil water for hot chocolate, tea, etc. -But it made quick work of a couple of carrots for salad and produced a size and texture that were

get it to snap in place. -But do watch for the leaking bottom (no pun intended). -The lid isn't the sturdiest , and I was initially worried that the center would not prevent leaks, but there have been no leaks through the lid and the lid seems flimsy for the sake of being easy to put on/take off. -All mechanical operations did not fail. -When I came back to the car, the fan was still on . -All that it did was circulate hot air . -It is simply too small, and not powerful enough to cool anything with any degree of effectiveness . -The fan ran exactly like it was suppose to , but the air was not cool. -It is very well made from heavy duty plastic but that is the only good thing I have to say about this product. -On to the " medium blade ", the green one. -Let me start with what is referred to

end up being cut in half . -My mother-in-law sits on them in her favorite chair so we fold them over a little. -I didn't want to splurge on a wooden wine rack so I decided to try four of these instead

every bit of dust and pet hair in the house. -It worked great for a few of them, but like other buyers have stated, our started to leak around the plastic window . -Just when you least expect it you are hit with a counter top/floor/rug soaked of water (usually when you are having one of those hectic mornings where you just need to get out the door...)Spend your money elsewhere until they can

w/o a filter for my entire adult life I will continue to do so in the future and forego the purchase of additional overpriced filters and instead buy that Lamborghini I always wanted. -Not having anything else to go by I feel obligated to rate the filter a 5 due to its ease of use. -The filter holder slides easily out of the slot in the bottom of the water compartment. -But got a new one to replace him as soon as possible because I love my little Roomba . 2 cats , plus a wife with long curly hair, means a lot of hair, fur, and litter tracked around, and Roomba takes care of it all

bowls. -The cat knocked one cereal bowl off the counter about twenty minutes after I opened the box of dinnerware, and broke it in a million little pieces all over the floor. -That's the only piece lost, and the reason why we only have three cereal bowls instead of four . -These plates (and the bowls) work just fine in the microwave oven with no problems at all. -Pros:Can be used with no powerThe price is rightEasy clean upCons: Grind consistency is lacking. -I've been playing with the course setting for days and days and cannot get a consistently sized grind for my French Press.

lasts at least 2 years , it is well worth every penny. -The automatic lid works as promised (although I'm not sure if the manufacturer's representation about how long this product will last based on

It doesn't get dirty at all like a lot of other similar products. -4 gallon trashcan?Well - they're all over Europe in the restaurants and bed & breakfasts. -Seriously, who needs a tiny 1.5 liter, oops sorry no metric system, that's a .4 gallon trashcan?Well - they're all over Europe in the restaurants and bed & breakfasts. -Seriously, who needs a tiny 1.5 liter , oops sorry no metric system, that's a .4 gallon trashcan?Well - they're all over Europe in the restaurants and bed & breakfasts. -Seriously, who needs a tiny 1.5 liter, oops sorry no metric system, that's a .4 gallon trashcan?Well - they're all over Europe in the restaurants and bed & breakfasts . -This pillow case is very soft and cool to touch, at least for several hours at a time...was looking for the coolest pillow case I could find, and this tops all of them thus far....fits my standard size pillow, but will "turn" on pillow sometimes as I toss and turn, which happens to most cases I use....could do without the frilly floral design, but that might appeal to some....I'd like to see this pillow in solid color and King size as well. -This pillow case is very soft and cool to touch, at least for several hours at a time...was looking for the coolest pillow case I could find, and this tops all of them thus far....fits my standard size pillow, but will "turn" on pillow sometimes as I toss and turn , which happens to most cases I use....could do without the frilly floral design, but that might appeal to some....I'd like to see this pillow in solid color and King size as well. -This pillow case is very soft and cool to touch, at least for several hours at a time...was looking for the coolest pillow case I could find, and this tops all of them thus far....fits my standard size pillow, but will "turn" on pillow sometimes as I toss and turn, which happens to most cases I use....could do without the frilly floral design , but that might appeal to some....I'd like to see this pillow in solid color and King size as well. -This pillow case is very soft and cool to touch, at least for several hours at a time...was looking for the coolest pillow case I could find, and this tops all of them thus far....fits my standard size pillow, but will "turn" on pillow sometimes as I toss and turn, which happens to most cases I use....could do without the frilly floral design, but that might appeal to some....I'd like to see this pillow in solid color and King size as well. -I still prefer the way that almond milk turns out when strained through something that is more tightly woven - which captures all of the fiber. -While it works good, it leaves the nut milk a bit too gritty for my taste. -I just received this new nut milk bag a couple days ago, and was eager to give it a try. -I'll play around with the length of time, and blender speed settings ...maybe I'll be able to make a nice smooth (not gritty) almond milk using this bag after all. -Just pour in milk and twist the knob for foam , anyone can do it. -The auto foaming only fails when we use heavy cream . -Milk, Half and half etc all worked perfectly for us. -The foaming mechanism is clever but could be improved to avoid the "leaking" that sometimes occurs, but overall we would buy this one again over any of the others for the price range. -The coffee maker works and it is very stylish. -Also living in a higher altitude, we needed to turn down the temperature and that seemed to help a lot too. -The easiest solution to the pump problem is to not take the water chamber off of the base and just refill it with a pitcher as needed. -If you have any travel mugs (like from Starbucks) that hold small or medium size coffee they don't fit with the coffee maker. -I bought these knowing that some buyers mentioned they tasted plastic . -but I still like these because they are easy to drink out of without having to slide or flip a lid opening while driving . -I will never use this for a drink that has milk because I don't see a way to effectively clean the lid. -The milky drink manages to stick to all surfaces and rot. -Only for tea or black coffee though and put up with plastic taste. -This is a great 3qt saucepan ! -I purchased it to go with a few other odd sized Farberware pieces I was given and it matches perfectly! -The lid fits nice and tight and the flat base sits nicely on my cooktop without moving around like my old non-stick pots did!

-I purchased it to go with a few other odd sized Farberware pieces I was given and it matches perfectly ! -It's so convenient to store with the airtight cap . -I had submitted the previous review before receiving the item . -About a year ago I started looking for another one for cocoa powder and had been unable to find it, until now on Amazon ! -Anyway, the size is not the major disappointment, the shaker lid does not fit snug . -Also, with the lid not fitting snug, it would not keep the powder fresh while it was stored in it. -Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack , 14-1/2 x 20 inch. -but it's especially good for cooling cookies . -Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack, 14-1/2 x 20 inch . -I use it for everything but it's especially good for cooling cookies. -It works great, the cookies don't stick to it . -I got this to hold heavier hardback books while reading in bed. -Lighter-weight books are OK, too, but unless it's a book that stays flat and open on its own, both hands are necessary to keep those books open. -After a brief trial, however, I agree with the reviewers who feel this bookrest is better-suited to holding Nooks, Kindles, etc . -I think the angle issue is a matter of personal preference rather than a design flaw. -On the plus side, it's attractive and well-made . -it's important to completely unplug your brewer before attaching this unit. -I have a wide selection of coffees and teas on hand at all times, and my neighbors compare us to a coffee shop . -I recently wore out my Cuisinart SS-700, so I opted for the Keurig B155 because it appears to be more capable and I truly liked the styling . -I recently wore out my Cuisinart SS-700, so I opted for the Keurig B155 because it appears to be more capable and I truly liked the styling. -I'm so glad I'm no longer spilling water, dealing with internal filters or worrying about getting air into the system... based upon our level of usage , this was a great choice! -I loved my old shark pocket mop , until it got wore out and died... :( -So, I loved it so much and it worked so well, naturally I went out and bought the newer model from Costco .There are some new great features: a larger water tank, a longer cord, three cleaning options, and no pumping action to get it working - just plug it in (wait a few min), select your cleaning option, and start mopping. -The thing that brings this model down to 3 stars, when normally I would rate this product at a 5, is the new 'imporved' mopping pads all have that dusting kind of threads hanging off of it. -I don't know what they are really called, but the purple pocket pad has them from the previous model (that we NEVER used). -This makes firm, lasting foam that is great for latte, cappuccino and hot chocolate. -I understand what others have written about the delicacy of the " whipping attachment ," but I don't see it as a problem. -I rinse it with warm water directly after use and wipe it out. -One does need to make certain that the milk "film" that sticks a bit to the bottom of the cup is removed. -This makes firm, lasting foam that is great for latte, cappuccino and hot chocolate. -I understand what others have written about the delicacy of the " whipping attachment ," but I don't see it as a problem. -I rinse it with warm water directly after use and wipe it out. -One does need to make certain that the milk "film" that sticks a bit to the bottom of the cup is removed. -I bought this just about a year ago when undergoing a kitchen renovation when I needed some way of cooking other than a microwave and b/c I had no stove on which to cook. -I bought this just about a year ago when undergoing a kitchen renovation when I needed some way of cooking other than a microwave and b/c I had no stove on which to cook .It is not for the faint at heart to set a slow-cooker for 8 hours, in your dining room no less, and then go off to work for the next 8 hours. -It is not for the faint at heart to set a slow-cooker for 8 hours, in your dining room no less, and then go off to work for the next 8 hours. -The cord is a tad short, but think this was designed so that the unit was used close to the counter top back wall (where most electrical outlets are) and to keep curious children at bay. -The crock itself is hefty . -But not cotton . -I don't know if the color was touched up in the photos, but what I got is more key lime green than sage green. -LOTS AND LOTS of loose threads discovered while unpacking the sheets. -I don't know if the color was touched up in the photos, but what I got is more key lime green than sage green .Would NOT buy again, but... -This baby is the bomb! I bought this for my husbands birthday -I bought this for my husbands birthday and I have been celebrating ever since! -I can't believe how well it shaves ice; it makes great icee's also! -This is a big machine so plan your counter space appropriately. -This truly makes great margarita's , better than any bar we've been to so don't hesitate to pull the trigger. -Yes, it does whistle, but in proportion to its size. It's NOT loud. That is my major caution. -This little kettle is tiny, so it heats up to a boil at a rapid pace. You'll have a cup of hot tea in minutes. -If you tend to wander away to the other side of the house and forget the kettle is on the stove, you likely won't hear this little fellow whistling and should buy a bigger, louder teakettle. -Will it last for ten years? Probably but the plastic parts might not. And the price is beyond reasonable. -No it's not thick, but it is stainless and it's easy to clean. Pop it into dishwasher and it looks new again. Yes, it does whistle, but in proportion to its size. -They are lightweight which I love, who needs a bulky, heavy cover? -Plus the price is much, much lower than the universal lid I purchased. -They are lightweight which I love, who needs a bulky, heavy cover? They let out steam if need be and they are easy to clean. -I also own a universal lid cover that is glass and stainless, and although it's nice, I prefer these because they don't weigh as much and they are easier to clean than the glass one . -This weekend my Chardonnay stayed refreshingly cold for well over the hour it took us to finish it. The attached aerator is a most appreciated bonus. -GREAT wine lover Host/Hostess gift! I love it and so glad it was invented -- sure beats a bucket of melted ice! -I love it and so glad it was invented -- sure beats a bucket of melted ice! -But , that is not how it is supposed to be used, and it works even better for it's intended use : keeping chilled wine chilled. -With the cool steam, I am not worried about my place catching fire from a faulty heating element.I set the dial to about 3/4 the way, and a full gallon of water lasted 3 nights. -It produces a nice little stream of cool mist and after the first night of use I woke up without a dry, sore throat and nose. -I can barely hear it. I think the noise level is on par with our ceiling fan , which runs all year long except in the winter. -It has been WONDERFUL! I feel so much better.I was hesitant about buying a $40 humidifier when I could get a Vick's hot steam from Walgreens for $12. -I set the dial to about 3/4 the way, and a full gallon of water lasted 3 nights. I have been using high purity water to prevent mineral build up and hopefully this little guy will last me a long time. -I have had this pillow for nearly 5 months and it's still holding its shape. I start off as a side sleeper then end up on my back. -I also bought this pillow for my hot flashes but honestly I think buying a higher thread count pillow case stays cool all night, not the pillow. In any case, no fluffing is needed and would buy another one in a heart beat. -In any case, no fluffing is needed and would buy another one in a heart beat. -The reviews on here were mixed so that did not help but figured "why not" - Just another 40 dollars, right? -At first I wondered who could possibly need a one-quart butter pan ! -The nonstick surface cleaned up very easily ( hand wash only ) -I did use it to melt butter and later to simmer giblets and finally to make gravy -- and it was superb in all cases. -But what better day to test it than Thanksgiving -- and the pan was great. -The product image gives the impression that the handles on the spoons and forks have a more voluminous shape . -Anyway, set is dinner party worthy and have real (nice!) restaurant quality appearance . -Anyway, set is dinner party worthy and have real (nice!) -The design is beatiful and not overtop making them a a plus to use with the good dishware. -very well built although it might be difficult to manage whale putting together if you are someone who is not familiar with assembling something like this but that being said about the only thing you need that would help a lot when assembling this would be a simple rubber mallet so you could tap the shelves into place and this would be much easier to assemble if two or more people were doing it -very well built although it might be difficult to manage whale putting together if you are someone who is not familiar with assembling something like this but that being said about the only thing you need that would help a lot when assembling this would be a simple rubber mallet so you could tap the shelves into place and this would be much easier to assemble if two or more people were doing it -very well built although it might be difficult to manage whale putting together if you are someone who is not familiar with assembling something like this but that being said about the only thing you need that would help a lot when assembling this would be a simple rubber mallet so you could tap the shelves into place and this would be much easier to assemble if two or more people were doing it -but I did it myself and did not have any problems for it is very straightforward for there are many plastic spacers that are split in half that go around the pole that when the shelf is slid through the polls it locks the shelves in place and you just have to make sure you have each spacer in the proper place because the shelves can be adjusted at about an inch in height in increments so you can have some shelves that are closer together than others. -Buying more expensive coffee maker is no guarantee it will last a long time .I've had this coffee maker for couple of weeks now and so far it has worked great. -I previously used more expensive coffee maker that did not last whole year. -I've had this coffee maker for couple of weeks now and so far it has worked great. -This time, I decided to go different route in that I looked around for coffee maker that is low priced and yet, had pretty decent review. -Let me preface this review by saying that I did receive this french press for free in exchange for my honest appraisal of this product. -The first thing I noticed about this was the very nice appearance of the press . -Very modern and sharp looking in my kitchen. -5 stars ....enjoy -This just arrived, and I tested it with 4 strips of bacon and just one stand centered in the black drip pan.4 thick-cut slices of bacon took approximately 3-5 minutes of cook time. -Draping a napkin over the bacon keeps the splatter down. -This just arrived, and I tested it with 4 strips of bacon and just one stand centered in the black drip pan.4 thick-cut slices of bacon took approximately 3-5 minutes of cook time. I kept adding 30 seconds and watching the bacon in between. -Keep cooking ! -I kept adding 30 seconds and watching the bacon in between. -I really wanted this to work so I could make nice, golden crepes . -Then I seasoned it according to the other insturctions that came with the pan (yes, it came with two different sets of instructions). -I really wanted this to work so I could make nice, golden crepes . -Maybe my husband can sear a steak on this or something, but it's certainly not useful for crepes. -I seasoned it according to the instructions that came with the pan. -It is really 9 1/2 x 13 1/2 X 8 1/2 which was what I really wanted anyway but is much smaller than advertised. -It is really 9 1/2 x 13 1/2 X 8 1/2 which was what I really wanted anyway -There is no control to set the temperature. -It produces more smoke than any other toaster oven I have had. -As an oven it might be unusable for most people. -I ordered 2 sets of these; the first set was fine however the second set did not include the hardware, nor was I able to get it sent to me. -The good news is that amazon gave me some of my money back -so I just took the hardware off the one set to match it up at the hardware store. -The good news is that amazon gave me some of my money back-so I just took the hardware off the one set to match it up at the hardware store. -I did purchase a silicon coated flipper/turner as I did not want to use metal implements on this. -I did purchase a silicon coated flipper/turner as I did not want to use metal implements on this. -They fit my half sheet pans , clean easily, work as good as parchment for my uses and baked goods come right off. -They fit my half sheet pans, clean easily , work as good as parchment for my uses and baked goods come right off. -I have used nonstick silicone baking sheets before but these are much more substantial ( thick ) -I love the spout being at the bottom of the kettle, and its size, it makes for easy and precise pouring. -However, it's not very big ( 1.2L ) which is alright. -However, even following the suggested fill line of this kettle, the water would boil over , it wouldn't whistle, and it just made a mess. -I try to drink lots of water, and the Bubba Keg keeps my ice frozen for hours. I fill it up with ice and water in the morning, and then refill it at lunch. -Another great attribute of this mug is that it does not sweat , so your desk stays dry if you're using it at work. -I fill it up with ice and water in the morning, and then refill it at lunch . -I fill this sucker up with ice and water in the morning, stick a straw in it, and the water is kept ice cold all day long . -Took it camping once and it was nice to actually take the keg while I was swimming in the lake and the flip top prevented any splashes of lake water from getting into my drink.. plus the bottle opener ! -I've also drank without a straw and the when tipped over to drink, the seal doesn't leak . -Sweet!

-The motor seems good and powerful, and really gets the job done. -It is nice and large , with a good deal of capacity. -This is just your basic, cheap, hecho in China colander . -Also, there is a label attached to the bottom with a glue that doesn't come off with normal washing. -I would have given it a score of three, but felt that the presence of little metal slivers on the handle weld spots deserved a lower score ! -This is just your basic, cheap , hecho in China colander. -In fact, I haven't been able to remove the glue residue and suspect that it's going to be there a long, long time. -Now that I can make great coffee house drinks at home, this latte maker will have paid for itself within a few weeks. -a recipe pamphlet . -I am no barista and they were all delicious and tasted like coffeehouse drinks ! -Being Christmas, I had eggnog so made an eggnog latte, then made a regular latte and after that I made a sugar free coconut milk peppermint mocha . -I was concerned that cleanup might be a problem, but it was really easy to clean with a soft dish brush and a little soap , just be careful when cleaning the frother. -Attractive, sturdy, and holds a lot of utensils !

It can blow cool air as well as hot air. -The colour is great as it blends into any colour scheme and the weigh is great as it can easily be lifted . -So I contacted customer service and they didn't know either. -It looked like water stains all over the spread . -It isn't a bad comforter for the price but know that when on the bed, it gives a faded, very used look. -It is made to look that way.

(we are billed monthly) and that is with me adding 2 aerogardens and several plant lights to my electricity bill. -One small issue is that if you lose power this heater will not automatically turn back on when power is restored.

point is that this point is that the block is really big and awkwardly fits in my small New York City kitchen. -Non-factor . -I got this shower curtain to match my Audrey's Garden accessories that I bought on clearance at BBB several years ago. -I got the hooks and the black liner here at amazon.com , could have gotten the shower curtain, too, but I didn't know it was here and I had already ordered the curtain from walmart.com. -This is a real plus because you can push the shower curtain to the side and still see most of the beautiful photo of tulips on the shower curtain. -The shower

little but so far I have had no problems. -Also, it would be good for those who have a hard time pushing and pulling a cleaner around . -it has an area for smell and particles and it monitors the air and turns up and down as needed. -the thingi really liked about it is the rest all have like $100 a year in filters you have to buy and this has washable filters even for the hepa. -I put on perfume

simply described it as KHAKI so it's clear what the color is -- and then I would have given it 4 stars. -The material is stiff but looks like it might soften in the wash, and if a kid is using it, it will be washed frequently, so that's fine by me. -The fabric is different on each side . -I bought it as a gift for a little girl for her small bed, for in the car, for watching TV, etc. -I purchased this after my daughter moved out . -It is very slow heating - takes four minutes for a cup of coffee. -Only get this one if you need the extra features . -Not a problem, unless you want to brew two cups - with the two minute recommended wait, it takes ten minutes . -I live in NYC where the tap water is already above standards . -Ecopure is much cheaper , and does the job just as well -- without annoying charcoal particles or slow filtration. -I'd say the Ecopure filters about 40-50% faster than Brita, a detail that may seem unimportant but guess what? -I use a Brita filter simply to remove chlorine taste , but i was fed up with the pricey filter cost. -It cooks any meat within 5 minutes , perfectly every time. -If you oven bake a chicken breast, for example, it takes 30-45 minutes

perfectly every time. -The problem for me with this cooktop is its incessant beeping . -It's not a soft, friendly beep either, it's similar to a smoke alarm kind of beep that makes your heart race to hear it. -It does a little better if you set the cooktop to "warm" instead of leaving it on regular cooking/boiling modes, but then it'll only give you about ten seconds of having the pot off the surface before it beeps at you to demand you put it back down. -It does a little better if you set the cooktop to "warm 4; instead of leaving it on regular cooking/boiling modes, but then it'll only

pretty frequently. -I'm surprised to read the reviews of people opening 30 bottles. -Perhaps I just got a "dud"... also, the plastic on mine has become very sticky . -My two complaints after several years of use: the opener has never really held a charge ... after a bottle or two it's done. -after having owned a Calphalon contemporary non-stick set for 8 years with non-stick coating peeling off

on this bar. -They holes for the rack bar to go through are small. -I use it for traveling with our garments we make for our business, so it stays in one place, but it would of been better if the holes would of accommodated the clothing bar. -So this suit bag is nice, a good size, and seems like it will hold up well, but it has one drawback. -I think that the metal bars that many closets use

egg cooker would be the perfect answer. -After reading nearly every review and what others liked and didn't like about this product, I tested it . -The precise amount of water (with the measurement marked with a small piece of white tape because, yes, they are hard to read ), 4 large eggs and 10 minutes later, I had a beautiful creamy center hard-boiled egg. -It took 10 minutes to boil and now I

them so soon, they only took 4 days . -I'd read that some reviewers weren't happy with theirs as the wooden slats were poorly positioned .The first one I opened was perfect, quite heavy, also nice and

will need an extension cord to use. -I really need to put my lunch in by 9am if I want it at the right temp for lunch. -This warmer is great for me since I keep kosher and have no other way of warming up food at work. -I own a Wusthof 7 -Piece knife block set -This sharpener actually removed the sharp edge off of two knives that had been sharpened with $3.00 Harbor Freight sharpener that looks like this one, but only has a single ceramic sharpener . -The V-shaped cutting heads on both the carbide blades and the ceramic side of the Wusthof sharpener that I received from Amazon are set at the wrong angle for the Wusthof knives. -Thinking that I could salvage part of my investment, I then tried to sharpen two pairs of scissors . -I own a Wusthof 7-Piece knife block set and I've tried other

well. -Purchased a different cheap timer at Walmart . -Only 2 negatives I have is that the beeping doesn't shut off on it's own, so if you're doing something else, you have to manually hit the stop to turn it off. -Only 2 negatives I have is that the beeping doesn't shut off on it's own, so if you're doing something else, you have to manually hit the stop to turn it off. -Also agree with a previous review that when mounted via the magnet , depending on how you push the buttons, it will come loose and fall. -When the timer went off you almost had to hold it next to your ear to hear it, never mind being in the next room. -So, I just paid almost 25 dollars for some rough chunks of glass. -The things I got, two at least, just look like flat plugs . -The product pictured looks like smooth stones .

expensive "kitchen party" vendor. -I used this unit to make spritz cookies at Christmas time. -I did have some issues with getting the plunger to stay aligned with the handle to press the cookies , which is the reason I removed a star. -As noted throughout so many reviews, the plastic units tend to break and you're left with a piece of expensive trash. -Since most all of the unit is metal , I suspect it will last for quite some time. -I had a tower fan for over 8 years and it suddenly died and they didn't make it anymore. -So I searched and found the Lasko 2551 , decided to give it a try.

Revereware set, good in its own right, but there were some things I disliked about the Revereware, mainly the fact that the bottoms did not make good contact with my stove burners (ceramic top). -I tried cleaning it with baking soda and water as the instructions suggest, but no dice.*You must be very diligent about drying these IMMEDIATELY if you don't want water spots on them. -This French

the lid and pot handles. -I have other stainless pots & pans & with this one the heat level is much higher when handling it. -The handle on the lid itself should have been created using a plastic or some type of material that wouldn't absorb the heat thereby creating a hazard. -The lid handle transfers the heat from the pot and you WILL get burned if you don't use a pot holder of some sort. -The current design has the lid handle screwed on the underside and it is open to the heat source . -We have owned our Acme since approximately 1978 , give or take a year or two. -While the fact that it does not automatically eject pulp is a minus on the one hand, on the other hand, the Acme extracts up to 20% more juice according to independent reviews. -Built like a tank . -With the same design as

pile, which is way to much salt.it takes FOREVER to grind flaxseed in these! -I have flax seed in one and course salt in the other. -the surfaces are very smooth so my hand just slides around the jar

clump. -Most just say in the drawer till I clean out my kitchen and donate themI've also found many Oxo products to either be an amazing hit or a dud. -I love how all the items store neatly

all the mounting holes in the correct place. -The rubber seal gets in the way. -I wanted to use these containers for flour , but I need a cup at a time. -But they are very good for stuff you frequently use in small amounts, or for dried stuff you can take out with your hands. -You need to tip the container more to get over the rubber seal, so you don't have as much control over how much

stuff out. -Hand washed as they bleed first time it says, but seemed ok to me....will always hand wash, to not subject them to washing machine water turbulence, although should hold up in it. -My colors; 3 pink, 3 green, 4 blue, 1 tan (received 11 , not 10). -Cotton washcloths-- 4 mixed pretty colors as shown & described. -Note; thick/plush ones quite expensive, hard to hold & use, hold too

of different sizes), and they seem to be thinner, more delicate and more elegant than this dish. -I will keep this dish though it seems heavier because it's still nice, and I'm sure it will be useful

butterflies are in the middle (in the bottom) -For this dish to be truly beautiful, some ornamentation on the inside of the rim i s needed, so it would be visible when the dish is being used (there is some ornamentation on the outside of the rim, but you can hardly see it when the plate sits on the table). -Yes, it's small , we knew that when we bought it so I'm not complaining about the product

as powder . -Waisted like 60 bucks on all of them. -They ALL leak . -I am back to regular manufacturer K-Cups or the My K-Cup (the one you can get in the store) (That's the only one that doesn't leak).I even went online and checked out the reviews that said to move the rubber seal down on the needle, it didn't work. -Keurig is designed to brew with high pressure. -The flap that overhangs the

-It does everything I've put into it, with no issues at all . -I do cut the pieces into smaller pieces, and rotate veggies/fruits as I juice (as the videos on you tube suggest) and have had great success. -For the price, features , I recommend it! -I was excited about the shape of this water pitcher since my Brita pitcher took up so much valuable space in my refrigerator and this one does not.

buns just sit on pop up rods over the toaster and the heat from the toaster warms them up. -The toast comes out perfect every time and always comes out of the toaster properly . -I haven't had any issues with toast getting stuck inside of the toaster, or burnt edges . -This toaster is really big , but looks nice on the counter and I have had complements on it. -This thing is well made (solid)

these Funtainer bottles for years for my 2 kids and we love them . -I like Zenith products because you are getting a good product for a decent price and they are pretty durable which is nice for bathroom use. -Cons-slides down shower head but does not fall off, not hard thing to fix but annoying--bottom shelf of rack is small in height so it does not fix much, more for razor, bar of soap and very small bottles--shampoo bottles barely fit on the top rack, this is probably because I have a large custom shower head, so if you have a large shower head you may want to find another product- -I

and is very easy to program for the different types of breads . -I was looking for a kitchen timer that wasn't too loud. -If you want loud get the CDN TM4 Count Down Big Digit timer . -it's also a little more stable and slim lined so less likely to be knocked off the fridge and broken like our last timer. -Thanks to the complaints below I knew this was the product for me. -it's also a little more stable and slim lined so less likely to be knocked off the fridge and broken like our last timer. -we bought this on lightning deal for black Friday and got a great deal on it, I did see that it

cleaner. -I had a bagless upright when those were first introduced and hated it because of how difficult it was to empty and clean out the container. -This Bissell solved by objections to bagless

to be enjoyable. -I bought this container after I took vegetable soup in its supermarket container to work, and the lid came loose. -What makes the Pinzon Hotel Stitch Shower Curtain, Silver Blue, stand out is its stark whiteness . -It practically gleams, and the herringbone pattern seems to expand forever, save for the double row of thin bluish stitching running across the top, parallel lines that cleave the view like a railroad track crossing snow-covered prairie land in some frozen Canadian territory. -The curtain itself, when paired an inexpensive liner , makes a nice upgrade to one's bath, and if it proves truly washable, then its value is cinched. -But the sheer expanse of white also poses a potential target for all manner of liquid soaps, shampoos, and rinses. -I read everything about this in the reviews before I made this purchase, When it arrived all the instructions were followed and we put it together. -the little door in the front keeps popping back up and loses the suction . -I did write an e mail to Hoover about it but have not received any answers on how to permanently fix this one little issue. It is easier to use than the older one I had but I replaced it because of the same exact reason, it would not suck the water back up. -So while I was very happy with the first use, not so much the second use and I will see now that I think I fixed the problem what happens the third time. -After some painting was done there were some areas I hadn't cleaned the first time so I brought it out and started to clean and found it was not sucking up the water..the little door in the front keeps popping back up and loses the suction. -I'm new to using a Food Saver , and I waited until I had used quite a few of the bags, before giving this review. -I have tried different kinds of items sothat I would know if they work on wet and also dry items, and for me, they have really done a wonderful job .These bags are really easy to use, and have been perfect , mainly because the is no loss, or any waste using them. -These bags are really easy to use, and have been perfect, mainly because the is no loss, or any waste using them.

Even my gps falls off my car window sometimes. -Even my gps falls off my car window sometimes. -All in all I am content with the cradle and would buy it again. -We've had this kettle for a few years now and we are ready for a divorce. -The kettle has always been very loud when operating . -I suppose this is due to the vibrations caused by the water moving around in the kettle . -Sometimes it is more than a minute after it boils that it decides to turn off. -I like these spatulas for their handles . -They have some slight flexibility that wood handles don't . -I have tested the fire resistance of the handles, too, by leaving the handle resting on the edge of the hot pot. -The smallest is a standard spatula for mixing cake batter .They clean easily in soap and water, but also survive the dishwasher. -They clean easily in soap and water, but also survive the dishwasher . -The set fits my daybed wonderfully and the bed skirt is just the right length. -The set fits my daybed wonderfully and the bed skirt is just the right length. -but I love how it looks . -I think I am going to go with all white sheets to really let them stand out. -It much healthier than the bagged microwave popcorns, all you need is a little veggie oil on the bottom and add the popcorn kernels and you're good to go! -Not that I'm all "grown up" and moved out on my own, I still make all of my popcorn using this! -This will save you a lot of money in the long run as well only having to buy the kernels, microwave popcorn bags can add up. -It makes a lot in one batch , so it's sure to be a crowd pleaser! -We bought this to replace a VERY large, very white (turned brown!) toaster oven that was about 10 years old . -The controls are simple but they all work, and it warms up FAST . -It's big enough to warm leftovers and toast , but much smaller than our previous one. -I don't have anything negative to say, but I will warn you the cord is pretty short so if your outlet is far away you may want to take that into consideration. -We wrapped the crumb/drip tray in foil to make cleaning even simpler. -I wish two things----the cabinets were bigger, and they didn't wobble back andforth after they're put together.

These containers are really nice as they come in the perfect sizes and the lids/containers are extremely durable. -The only problem is that out of the dishwasher they seem to have a residue over them.

No trouble getting them on the phone, no trouble with my order. -I have called them to order spare parts for my rice cookers, and to order a spare pan for this bread machine in case I ever need it. -You have to shake it pretty hard to get the bread out.

holds 16 oz , so I can enjoy a couple cups and also that it is 100% BPA-free. -It should work with any size mug - I have tried all sizes, even travel mugs and so far haven't found one that it wouldn't work with. -I bought it from Amazon , since it is cheaper then on Adagio's website and upon receiving it I tried my first brew. -Open the lid, put desired amount of loose leaf tea (or ground coffee )

clear when it is on. -NONE of the outside surfaces get hot, even on high, and if it is picked up or tipped the safety tab on the bottom cuts it off instantly, so it is very safe for the kids and animals to be around. -It blowsabout a 90 degree width into the room. -I got this coffee maker the other week before Christmas , I like it , however I have to use regular ground coffee as my fine

dust that was being left behind. -I have the CPT-180 four -slice toaster. -(And, yes, I have read the owner's manual from cover to cover.) -As was the experience with several other reviewers, the two center slices toast very unevenly--no matter what the setting or the kind of bread. -I returned my previous CPT-180 to Cuisinart because of uneven toasting; the customer service was quick and very courteous. -I have the CPT-180 four-slice toaster. -I find OXO to consistently provide quality products at reasonable prices and this squirting dish brush is no exception. -My wife bought this for me

the Hoover wind tunnel 2 bagless ; one of the worst electrical devices I've ever owned. -Assembly is a snap and yes, emptying can be tricky, however if one removes the top it's not a problem. -After its self-cleaning HEPA filter clogging and quit working for the fourth time, it went in the recycling bin and I immediately went and picked up the Hoover healthy home based on the reviews I read here. -The brush motor is quite powerful -I'll take this over the Dyson any day. -Over a year old now and used multiple times each day. -Love the design and it's very easy to keep clean (inside and out). -I generally use one grind size so I'm not doing a lot of shifting between sizes so cannot speak to haow well the grinder holds up to constant grind adjusts. -Two negatives:1)The grinder *is* loud , but that's hard to get away from in any burr grinder this size. -Fortunately, the timed grind of the Breville allows me to walk away while the grinder runs and then auto-stops.2)The grinder cannot go fine enough for either a fine espresso grind OR a coarse French press grind. -This coffee maker lasted me about a year making one cup of coffee most days. -If it wouldn't have broke off, I probably would have rated it a 4 star (it takes a lot for me to rate something 5 star). -Then a small piece that hooks that holds up the piece that fits on top of the filter broke off .I originally still gave this coffee maker 3 stars as it did a nice job until the piece broke off after about a year. -I ordered the same coffee maker and as I was GENTLY wiping down the machine from the packing materials, the same piece broke off from the new machine. -So now I have modified my review to be a 1 star . -I ordered this and it was delivered fast but in an extremely damaged box with only a sheet of packing

back yard. -I didn't expect it to be warped beyond repair because it was banged with a stick , but it was. -This griddle pan is aesthetically beautiful . -I've made omelettes in it twice , and was

My impression is that the brush probably does well on surfaces with crevices, and the pad on smooth surfaces. -A big design change is the new scrubber's ability to extend to hard-to-reach areas.

smaller, more flexible brushes that came with the old scrubber. -First, I like the rubberized handle on top . -It makes holding the grater much more comfortable .But, other than that this grater is actually really annoying. -In order to make the handle rubberized and comfortable, OXO had to add a whole cap piece on the top which effectively makes the top row of slots on the grater useless !

room. -This unit has a nice large 14 cup bowl along with a smaller one , a nice idea. -but you will need storage room . -This is perfect for single batches or small batches only. -When I want to make multiple batches, I use my full size Hamilton Beach ice cream freezer . -When I kept it in the freezer attached to the refrigerator, the ice cream never froze past milk shake consistency. -I have had this for more than a year, and I have come to realize that to get the ice cream to the right consistency you must keep the bowl in the deep freezer . -I have had this for more than a year , and I have

is made so short in their effort to make it "safe" that it presents it's own hazard. -the cool touch sides really are , which surprised me. -You can put your hand on the side while it is in use and

heater is small, and it doesn't put out many BTU's, but I think it will be adequate for me needs, and it is small enough for me to put it under the equipment cover without it being a fire hazard . -But, with the demise of incandescent bulbs, I came up with this idea. -On the rare occasions when the temperature gets below freezing, I cover the equipment with a couple of mover's pads and, up to now, put a contraption with four incandescent light bulbs on it under the cover. -The heater is small, and it doesn't put out many BTU's, but I think it will be adequate for me needs, and it is small

small head is more rigid so you'll have no problems scraping out a jar with it (other products' reviews noted that if the end is too flexible it can't scrape out a jar of peanut butter; with this one, you'll be fine). -The cherry is a pretty, very slightly hot pinkish red (some might not see any pink in there, but I do). -It is one piece construction so you don't have to worry about water getting between the handle and spatula head and not drying out properly. -Just hand wash (and if you have hard water dry with a cloth right away) and keep some bamboo oil on hand and your set for a loooong

my Cuisinart food processor and the brand used to be known for quality and their products were always used on the cooking shows. -It smells like burned rubber . -It is useless with ice or frozen fruit . -Now all of the cooking shows seem to have switched to Kitchenaid and now I know why. -However, I live in Australia and had the timer sent to me by an American sibling. -an American sibling. -I tried new batteries with no success. -This is an excellent hot-water kettle . -It is well designed, very well thought out, easy to use, the lights let you read the water height and amount, and it

maker at least once or twice a week . -I did a bit of research on frothing pitchers because I'm teaching myself latte art. -This pitcher is definitely good for only one drink. -As much as Espro wants to advertised this pitcher is easy to use no-brainer...the bottom line, you need to learn and understand how to froth milk correctly using your machine's steam wand, each machine is different!!!I'm giving a 4 -star because once you are using the steam wand correctly, watching your temperature, this little pitcher does what it claims to do...a nice cup of steam milk with micro foams. -I cook 1

brown rice setting and the steamer setting on this rice cooker and it worked fine. -Note: It takes a little more than an hour to cook brown rice in this thing. -The Aroma rice cooker has also a up to 10-hr timer setting. -I will say that it is not overly loud but it does make some noise (more like white noise ). -After experiencing a bad bout of sinus issues last year I bought this and other

choc. -Other reviewers have already said it, and I'll support all the comments ... this pot is great for homebrewing ! -It is heavy duty but not heavy (an advantage of aluminum ). -a patina that will serve to protect the pot in much the same way as seasoning a cast iron skillet. -I wish it fit in my sink for easier cleaning, but it's about an inch too wide to fit inside either side of my two bowl sink. -I am a big tea drinker, and I have tried other types of hot water makers, only to have them leak all over. -It's very convenient, easy to fill, and the water actually boils , which is essential for good tea. -The price of this was a bit more than some of the other brands, but it was well worth it!I know we will use this even more in the winter time, for other hot drinks and soups . -I am really happy with this Electric Water Kettle. -We live in Florida and on a hot summer day our apartment AC stopped working. -I prefer this over my AC now...Definitely cuts down your electicity bill.

of how long you're planning on running the machine. the first time I used this, the yogurt turned out like runny, clotted soup. -one thing I don't like about this machine is that the bottom layer of yogurt turns out burnt . -it's hard to get the container out of the machine when the yogurt is done. -I suppose all yogurt makers are pretty much the same, just a heater. -Its not as long as other curtains I've had, so some may want to lower the curtain rod. -If you use a vinyl curtain behind it, it is not see-through but without it you can see right into the shower. -Only semi-negative things I have to say is that some of the slits for the rings weren't all the way cut through so I had to use scissors to open them. -so I had to use scissors to open them. -It is easy to move in tight areas . -I purchased the "animal" version because I have two dogs . -Plus it goes easily from the rug to the hardwood and also does a great job on the ceramic tile in the kitchen and wall to wall carpet in the bedroom. -Easy to use, easy to assemble, easy to push and oh, wow, the pick up of dirt and dog hair. -I got this coffee maker to replace my old Melitta Take-2 and never much cared for the weak, lukewarm K-cup coffee makers. -The thermal mug doesn't seem very well insulated on the bottom as the metal part gets pretty hot . -The Kitchenaid makes an 18 ounce mug of very hot coffee. -The feet on this appliance are very sticky which I suppose is a good thing for most people -Fine for filling at home and traveling with and just as good for taking in to your local Starbucks and getting your fix. -It washes up well, I have not seen any staining like another reviewer mentioned. -The insulated grip is in the right place and is comfortable to hold. -The plastic cup material doesn't get too hot anyway and acts as a good insulator. -The lid is sturdy and easy to thread on every time. -When I have a passenger in my front seat I would put my purse on the back seat ...the new car had much more

one!, it makes a perfect steaming delicious cup of joe. -The coffee maker itself is sturdy, well made, fits well on our counters and stylish . -Granted, like any device, you have to understand how it works and its "quirks", but once you learn, it is worth it.Now I can pressure cook with confidence and convenience.

Personally, I don't think there is a difference in taste of toast coming from this toaster or a $100+ fancy toaster oven. -The other functions "BAKE" "BROIL" ... and " OFF " don't have any use to me. -When the timer is done, it turns off automatically and has a loud 'ding' (a good thing) or you just turn the timer to off manually if you want to end it early. -If you make toast, then immediately make more toast, the internal thermostat will usually shut off the heating element for a portion of the toasting time (for safety) ... -Personally, I leave the oven door open if I am going to re-use it very soon so the internal temperature cools enough to prevent the thermostat from triggering. -I do love this product because our gas stove seems to have only two settings: high and higher . -I wish they made one that was a bit more durable . -The first one the wooden handle broke off from too much heat exposure and the the metal was rusted and burned. -The only problem is that they don't last long and I'm constantly having to replace it. I wish they made one that was a bit more durable. -I'd gladly pay more to have it last longer. The first one the wooden handle broke off from too much heat exposure and the the metal was rusted and burned. -They're metal with a heavy silicon coating . -I find myself using these often for things such as stir-frying, serving noodles, handling scallops, and even chicken nuggets. I recommend these to everyone looking for silicon tongs when precision is important, build and material quality are excellent. -These are grill worthy but seem like they might have trouble with heavier items like large chicken breasts , though I have not done a test of this. -I recommend these to everyone looking for silicon tongs when precision is important, build and material quality are excellent.I will update when I have used these for heavier items. -Multi-functional and agile, not clumsy like regular larger tongs. I tend to hold these with a more chopstick-like grip when working with delicate items as it provides more control and precision, such as stuffed mushrooms. -I grabbed the instruction booklet and realized it was all in German , which is fine by me because it has PICTURES!!!!IF you cannot follow pictures, simple directions, then you dont deserve good sushi anyway. -I grabbed the instruction booklet and realized it was all in German, which is fine by me because it has PICTURES!!!!

Rice everywhere, halfway unrolled rolls spilling out innards like a cornucopia, rolls that were seemingly stable and then cut unraveling in unappealing ways. -We purchased this on Jan 29, 2014 . -Now less than 5 months later the teflon coating is coming off in our baked waffles. -We use it every day and care for it per Cuisinart's instructions. I'm nursing a 3 month old baby, and I can't be eating teflon unknowlingly. -In addition to the obvious product flaw, this waffle maker gets extremely hot steam (burn worthy) that pours forth from where the handle attaches between the iron plates. The iron plates get hotter in the middle and so the waffles don't cook evenly. -But my major complaint is the peeling teflon. -The mattress is firm but not too hard, very comfy. I don't understand what some reviewers are talking about when they say it's so soft that they sink into it. -Two adults who weigh about 290lbs in total have been sleeping on it with no complaints. It is very nice for the price -The fact that it came undamaged after being compressed and folded to fit into a rather small box says a lot about the quality of the springs. I bought it to use with this frame http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005WXO984/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 and it fits perfectly. -The underside of the mattress is a few layers of that cheap reusable grocery bag material.

It is heavy and very floppy, so it can be difficult to stand it on it's side and carry down 2 flights of stairs when we move out. -Never owned a plastic shower caddy until this one and I prefer it over the others. -Although it's narrow opening at the top is meant to hang on the shower head pipe I hang it over the shower handle so it is not visible outside of the shower when shower door is closed. -The suctions cups are ineffective on my tile -The shelves on the caddy are have a very slight slant and dry out without any problems. -Although it's narrow opening at the top is meant to hang on the shower head pipe I hang it over the shower handle so it is not visible outside of the shower when shower door is closed. -I had my doubts about the OXO pinepple slicer , mainly because it's plastic and the slicing edge didn't seem sharp. -I LOVE fresh pineapple , but don't but it as often as I'd like because I don't like peeling them. -In this case, I feel that the OXO slicer is more efficient and safer than cutting it with a knife. -I also had a little too much leftover pineapple from the shell which seemed a waste. -I did lose some of the juice from the pressure of the cutter, but not a lot. -I've owned the Lasko tower fan with remote control for nearly four years now. -I use it every day in the summer and spring . -its 40-inch height allows the air it blows to easily reach a person lying on a bed. -My husband did that and said it wasn't hard . -I've owned the Lasko tower fan with remote control for nearly four years now. -I've used this egg timer many times and my eggs always turn out perfect. -My brother-in-law made deviled eggs for Thanksgiving and his eggs were overcooked (green around the yolks) even though he followed a recipe for boiling eggs. -a plastic chemical smell to it. -I'm buying one for my brother-in-law . -I made a macaroni salad tonight and used this timer for my eggs. -Just received my new oven from Amazon (really fast FREE shipping), and I am ecstatic about it. -Haven't tried out the rotisserie part yet, but have already cooked 3 meals in 2 days. -A friend of mine paid about $75 bucks more for theirs, and they don't like it... -Ha!More writing in the future about this Toaster Oven ... -A friend of mine paid about $75 bucks more for theirs, and they don't like it... -so unless you use it daily or keep dumping out the container, the water will get stale . -if you like regular coffee, i would go with kerug (sp) . -problem with it is they only give you 5 points per box and you need 100 to get something free. -i would get a demonstration and taste if you can before getting this. -my main compliants are: regular coffee is terrible, not a lot of variety of coffee, and no organic coffee, so far . -We also looked at the Simple Human brand while in the store, but this Kamenstein paper towel holder looked nicer and appeared to be just as good quality, at half the price. -We bought this to replace a different stainless steel wall-mounted paper towel holder (like this:Prodyne M 913 Stainless Cabinet HolderOur old one was screwed into plastic anchors in the drywall but, with the way it was designed, it pulled away from the wall every time we had to pull the empty roll off or put a new rolls on, so eventually the unit and plastic anchors would come out of the wall. -We also looked at the Simple Human brand while in the store, but this Kamenstein paper towel holder looked nicer and appeared to be just as good quality, at half the price . -We bought this to replace a different stainless steel wall-mounted paper towel holder (like this:Prodyne M 913 Stainless Cabinet HolderOur old one was screwed into plastic anchors in the drywall but, with the way it was designed, it pulled away from the wall every time we had to pull the empty roll off or put a new rolls on, so eventually the unit and plastic anchors would come out of the wall. -This Kamenstein paper towel holder, which we purchased at Bed, Bath, and Beyond , is far superior for wall-mounted applications: the roll slides on and off easily enough (but not so easily that it will pull off when you're not wanting it to), and it spins with ease (but not so much that it will spew paper towels all over). -(I had marinated some shrimp and the marinade ended up in the ice compartment.) -I fill the ice compartment partially with ice cubes, then fill in around those with crushed ice. -I fill the ice compartment partially with ice cubes, then fill in around those with crushed ice . -It's perfect for anything that isn't "juicy" , in other words veggies and that kind of thing. -It stayed cold for a LONG time (3-5 hours) on an 85 degree day. -There is a plastic gimmick inside the reservoir to show water level - USELESS, unless you have a flashlight handy . -My Capresso was half the size and did the very same job. -If you are going somewhere early and can not go push a buttton before you start getting ready, you have a problem . -The matte finish is very nice. -If you like to store your coffee pot under a cabinet, I highly recommend an appliance caddy -

It has a paper seal over the top that you leave on, and no upper basekt like the units I am familiar with (that you can refill). +I cook large meals for just myself and these are the perfect size to make freezer meals I can take out to heat in the microwave for dinner. +This is hands down, the BEST blender I've ever had and the 7 year warranty lets me know that Oster will stand behind this powerful blender for years to come. +I wouldn't recommend putting anything but water into the kettle to avoid accumulating undesirable residues . +I gave it 2 stars , because it is good for mincing garlic and chopping dried fruit and nuts. +It is stainless steel with punched holes that allow small tea particles into the cup. +Great product and it fits perfectly on a two burner Coleman. +When I received the cutting board , it was perfectly level. +The suctions cups are ineffective on my tile +It was much easier than trying to roll/slide/move the loaves into the pan any other way .The Super Peel is great when moving soft/sticky pizza or any sort of dough from your working surface into the oven. +3 speeds; oscillates, or not; air can be directed up/down/straight ahead; quiet . +Though they say it is dishwasher safe there is no need. +The only positive thing I can say about this is that it LOOKS great . +The other thing annoying is the loud beeping noise when setting the heat and time. +The plastic is the glossy kind that scratches if you look at it wrong and attracts every bit of dust and pet hair in the house. +Bought this because using a regular spatula to serve food like cake or lasagna is a hassle. +The shelves have to be put on before installation but can be adjusted once installed. +The oder from used oil does get around the kitchen and may annoy family members sensitive to it. +However it really would be interesting if these aren't just random numbers and letters around the outside of the cup and there was an actual solution that was really cleverly disguised. +The griddle does a good job of not letting food stick and I really like the tilt n' drain function. +You can put your hand on the side while it is in use and not get burned (of course do NOT put your hand on the TOP when it is in use). +Make a great college gift or for a person who only has a cup or 2 of coffee or tea at a time. +After only one use, the zipper has broken. +If you're like me and don't like the excess water, a quick drop in a colander does the trick. +First of all, it is only printed on one side - the other side is white. +I love the professional look of steel cookware but wanted the convenience of Circulon's great nonstick interior. +I don't can any homemade jams or jellies or pickles, but I juice and then separate it into single servings in mason jars. +(Maybe 60 sqft ) It works really well to keep the chill out of the room, especially with the door closed. +It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. +We sometimes use the juice to make our own juice popsicles .A +My particular set has tight fitting glass lids (this was not an Amazon purchase) which I prefer over the stainless lids. +The suction cup feet are a bit odd but really thoughtful addition - almost acts like a third hand to keep the machine from walking on the counter while running . +We bought this to replace a VERY large, very white (turned brown!) toaster oven that was about 10 years old . +The spinning mechanism is at the bottom , and it pops out when the frother is done warming up the milk. +I have a bigger processor as well, but this is great for small jobs, and ridiculously easy to clean . +If you tend to wander away to the other side of the house and forget the kettle is on the stove, you likely won't hear this little fellow whistling and should buy a bigger, louder teakettle. +Vary the strength by adding more or less coffee than recommended. +Gave them to a college student friend of mine as she could use anything. +Other glasses also often have a dimple in the bottom of the cup section that can be difficult to clean out. +I like that this doesn't leave shavings and paper shreds along the top to contaminate the food . +The baseboard heater is extremely expensive to run in the winter. We were looking for an alternative which would still keep our play room nice and toasty warm. +Use this frother, along with a Bialetti stovetop espresso maker and your own skim milk , plus whatever other ingredients you like, and you have Starbucks for about a quarter (or less) of the retail price. +This coffee maker is great, it heats the water very well resulting in the brewed coffee @ 165-168 degrees F . +The only downside is that this base of the device is pretty darn hefty ...but of course it probably has to be to house a motor this powerful. +At $ 200 a pop, you simply don't throw it out. +It lets me open the wine cork so easilly and I can enjoy my wine without the difficulty- works great!!! +This iron also has a retractable cord which is a very handy feature. +Even though its made of metal it doesn't seem that the base is heavy enough for the motor and the spinning fan blades so this isn't too good. +I was surprised at the reviewer who expected the steamer to get too hot to handle?This smaller version of the dry-cleaners steam press works well . +My only criticism is that in the rare circumstance when I'm holding something VERY hot (e.g. a tray fresh from a stove on 400F+) for 15+seconds my hands will start to get hot. +Either way, these little sleeves will bring good beer to drinkable temperature in about ten minutes if it's in the bottle, five in a can. +Very nice quality too . +They're in sealed bags of 100 , and each bag has its own "zipper" seal. +Won't be of any use in the kitchen for wiping up spills and such. +The only potential problem I see is the so called " memory effect " where repeated charging following only partial discharging causes the battery to remember the smaller charge. +He is hard on sheets and the old one was thread bare and looked like he slept on it most nights because the sheets manage to work themselves off during the night! +Update 5/31/13 The silicone gasket has loosened and is warped (probably from me being so lazy and washing it in the dishwasher-even though it says it is dishwasher safe). +I purchased this blanket for my 93 year old mother . +With French press style coffee and even more so with the Kuhn Rikon there will be some unavoidable sludgy grounds that will settle out in the bottom of your cup. Each fall for the past 10 years I make about 75 to 90 pounds of of saurakraut. -I bought this humidifier specifically for white noise and it does not disappoint. -I bought this to help me drown out the noise when the earplugs and snore pillows didn't work. -And I have it directly on the carpet and it never gets the carpet wet. -He doesn't just snore a little bit, he SNORES LOUD . -I bought this humidifier specifically for white noise and it does not disappoint. My husband snores. -a Sunbeam manual timer cured me of my ignorance; it couldn't keep proper time and would sometimes stop ticking all together or other times the buzzer wouldn't ring or very softly. -My last timer which was a Sunbeam manual timer cured me of my ignorance; it couldn't keep proper time and would sometimes stop ticking all together or other times the buzzer wouldn't ring or very softly. -This timer costs less than any timer I have previously bought but you get a lot of bang for your buck! -I really liked the memory function so when I make cookies for example with one push of a button; I can reset it for the same time again and again. -I really liked the memory function so when I make cookies for example with one push of a button; I can reset it for the same time again and again. -The notch at the end can push a rack without slipping, while the second notch pulls that rack right out again. -and I purchased two .You'd think an item like this is something simple, but there really is a difference between using any old stick and this push puller of power. -After burning my hand through an old oven mitt at my parents house, I knew something had to be done to keep my sanity in check. -After burning my hand through an old oven mitt at my parents house , I knew something had to be done to keep my sanity in check. -I use it mostly for my toaster oven , but it works great on my large oven too. -I'm glad I ordered the frosty clear color , as it lets the light shine through without being transparent. -We live in a double-wide mobile home, so we have a small tub enclosure, and the 72" length fits perfectly. -When I first put up the the shower curtain there was a strong vinyl odor for two or three days , so if the odor concerns you, I recommend airing the curtain outside for a day or two before bringing it inside. -This is a nice, heavy (yet pliant) vinyl shower curtain that should last a few years with a little care. -We live in a double-wide mobile home, so we have a small tub enclosure, and the 72" length fits perfectly. -Prefilter had 1/16" of dust on it. -Will monitor the purifier and advise later if I see noticeable improvement. -I expect to update this review later. -The room in question is at the end of the system and deposits dust instead of the air and dust going to the return vents . -The room in question is at the end of the system and deposits dust instead of the air and dust going to the return vents. -I searched and searched for an inexpensive timer to replace the 3-way one I had for years and loved. -The first week I had this one, I couldn't read the bottom row because the background was so dark and the right numbers wouldn't show up. -It is cheaply made, and the buttons are hard to push and don't always register. -I couldn't read the bottom row because the background was so dark and the right numbers wouldn't show up. -The timer itself works fine, but the display is terrible. -The first thing we love about Green Earth Wok by Ozeri is the fact that its from nature and helps support greener living. +They are very comfortable as they have a give to them that lets them almost form to you. +Easy to put on with 2 people -- doable with one. +Everyone who's tried them enjoys them . +a $10 standard 2qt crock pot, which will have a lot more options for a fraction of the price. +I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. +I received it on a Friday, discovered the issue Saturday and sent an email to Amazon customer service Sunday. +My husband and I had to get creative when we moved into a place that had a master bedroom without a closet . +I have looked at other silicone brushes in specialty kitchen shops like Sur La Table , but this brush is better than the brushes I saw there. +The other day I was invited to my mother’s house for dinner . +Didn't think that this would be a very good vacuum but needed an upright for the small amount of carpeting I have in my new home... +dangerous to injest this coating. +I think 1 cup Clorox per gallon water and then rinsing in tap water works better and does not leave an odd taste.- If you live in a warm climate and use the carboy, you should google how to make an airlock run off before brewing (this is something that happens with carboys and has nothing to do with the kit) +I then can use the bowl for the salad!The pull tucks neatly into the lid , lid seems snug to the spinner, plenty of spaces for the water to drain through, and the strainer sits enough away from the surrounding bowl to keep the produce from touching the water that's spun out. +The intake is smooth plastic, but I suspect it could scar some furniture, or at least leave minor tracks on the surface; it did not on my furniture, but the manufacturer should buffer the end with a brush or felt. +We have 7 inch set which is not too tall but tall enough to have a good look on the counter top and great grip and feel. +Note: For what it's worth, these pans are made in China , unlike the Calphalon Commercial from yesteryear. +You need to distribute the weight evenly, because it can tip over if too much weight is put on one side. +I am not a fan of most "single use" items and am not into having a gadget for every little task, but this lid rack solved a big frustration for me with canning, and so I feel it is worth it. +The things I got, two at least, just look like flat plugs . +This sorter is fantastic! +More often than not the ones I have come across are too big and bulks to be left out on the counter and just didn't deliver what I needed the most - the juice!With this Epica juicer though I am happy to say that it is truly a marvelous little gadget that doesn't take up too much space, and looks good on the counter top! +First, it takes a long time to charge--hours, in fact; and then the suction began to decrease and lose steam after only 10 minutes ! +I was poised to purchase an electric knife sharpener . +Well I attempted to fix it myself thinking any product of this type would have an inline fuse . +The main mug is easy, but the top, with all of the mechanical elements, proves to be a little difficult and still retains a bit of a coffee aroma after cleaning.update: after using this for a couple of months, I've found the cleaning to still be difficult, however, the best remedy seems to be to fill 1/3 of the mug with hot water and rigorously shake it upside down in order to losen any remaining residue. +And for proper install, you would also have to buy pipes and valves that would let you bypass the filter in order to swap it out. +Along with that, some fruit, I have to cut up just so it fits. +Liked this product so much, I bought 7 of them as gifts, all greatly appreciated....even got a lunch text photo from my son, the engineer and a big thank you from my Marine! +I really like this griddle because I like the cooking space, BUT the griddle cooks unevenly. I'm not sure if this will go away over time. +I've been using this coffeemaker for some time now. +I actually like to iron and own the Rowenta Professional iron . +it is a top quality product and i'm glad i bought it. +I have to say even after 3 moves, this bed has held up fairly well . +amazon .com/Calphalon-Unison-Nonstick-10-Piece-Cookware/dp/B0028S7R58/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topThese Nylon Utensils protect our cookware, they are very durable, wash well in dishwasher or by hand - (no spotting / falling apart as other reviewers have stated). +It is not so big that you won't find a place to store it, but large enough to hold a bunch of angel hair pasta that would slip right out of the little holes in a traditional colander . +Will it last for ten years? Probably but the plastic parts might not. And the price is beyond reasonable. +I am going to purchase another one, but definitely from a more reputable company .... +For one, I'm a John Wayne fan, and this mug along with my 2012 John Wayne calendar help motivate me to work on my projects. +They wash and dry very easily but shrink up a little, so this time I ordered the 30 x 40". +The main problem I have with this pan is that the base is really really small . +First of all it is made in the US . +It died while making cookie dough . +Although the packaging said I was getting a 6" 'Cook's' knife , what I actually received was an 8" 'Chef's' knife (and that was fine with me).I had hoped the block would also accommodate the Calphalon (See my review of this bargain.) +I finally got tired of fighting it and decided to try using a filter . +I have very small hands , so its easy for me to clean. +Since it's much easier to use, I tend to vacuum the whole house 2-3 times per week . +We picked up a William Sonoma remote meat/temp probe a while back. +This silicon muffin pan actual works well...and I was a little surprised about that. +We also looked at the Simple Human brand while in the store, but this Kamenstein paper towel holder looked nicer and appeared to be just as good quality, at half the price . +As with other Pinzon products I own, these knives are of excellent quality, well balanced and comfortable to hold. +but of course it probably has to be to house a motor this powerful . +I sent it back the next day. Do not waste your money. +This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. +I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven +Bought it about 3 years ago at a known kitchen store. +I have had this pillow for nearly 5 months and it's still holding its shape. I start off as a side sleeper then end up on my back. +The same Model but in White , didn't fare so good with users comments, funny. +With a recent downturn in the temperatures up here in the Pacific NW , I needed an extra "layer" -- saw this, read the reviews, and ordered it. +I am pretty picky with these things, but this duvet insert is perfect for me. +Then I tried to roll it out, it was so stiff I was using my whole body weight to roll it. +This was on sale at such a good price that I had to try it. +the seasonsed surface worked perfectly for me 1st time. +Before buying these gorgeous glasses , I read a lot of reviews about how the glasses broke so easily and I just want to say that those glasses had to have been from a bad batch. +GREAT wine lover Host/Hostess gift! I love it and so glad it was invented -- sure beats a bucket of melted ice! +** Update 9/4/13 : taking off a star. +My only real gripe is that it does not stand in place on it's own; if you don't have enough material inside to balance it out, it will fall over . +Lined with light weight foam rubber, the box is impractical for knife storage . +It has very soft sides , so you will have to package your food in a durable container to prevent it from being crushed. +I am going to only buy Lodge from now on. +With this grinder, I load the spices in...boom, boom and boom - literally 3 pushes, I got beautiful spices ground to fine powder in about 7 SECONDS ! +Weak tea'' only happens when you don't use enough teabags . +Then coming back with ample time to allow the decal to dissolve, I reached into the water to pull it out and my hand went into the ring and my finger came across the inside of the ring that is creased over. +This is a situation I almost never run into, so, if I could, I'd give this product 4.5 stars. +The nice part was that the shelves lined up perfectly so that everything is mounted to actual studs rather than just dry wall. +This mixer is a good bread dough device but a good hand mixer is still preferred for many batters. +I purchased one of these two years ago then a 2nd unit last year . +This is true; other vacuums are easier to shove about and this one is not power assisted . +One thing they do to help you get consistent results is to use regular charcoal briquettes, this made our first few tries successful. +I got this coffee maker the other week before Christmas , I like it , however I have to use regular ground coffee as my fine coffe will not allow to flow the water fast enough , I purchased some good dark roast coffee from STAR**** and I like it especially when you use the bold function the coffee is strong enough for me , however I wish the temperature was higher , well in winter I warm my milk anyway and in summer I guess that will be just perfect .. one little thing is that is you use to fine coffee the dripping never stop but with regular ground coffee the process is just fine . +It failed to remove harder stuck-on gunk (fruit residue, for example), but did well with minor spots (where milk spilled, for example). +The lid is sturdy and easy to thread on every time. +The mushroom popcorn was purchased on Amazon (Mushroom Popcorn Kernels - +Comfy soft, non-skid bottom and very absorbent . +In addition, there were many other flaws (such as bubbles in the glass) in all three of the bowls . +and is still going strong - and I love just tossing it into the dishwasher (in the 'lock' position, of course) when I'm done. +Only 2 negatives I have is that the beeping doesn't shut off on it's own, so if you're doing something else, you have to manually hit the stop to turn it off. +5 1/2 inches would be much better, which would cook down to about 4 inches, which looks good on a bun. +Not a problem I also purchased the 600 GSM towel set and those are perfect for my hair. +I ordered the Pyrex Easy Grab Casserole specifically to heat browned/blackened seared chicken to 165 degrees in the microwave for final cooking. +Just keep in mind that it will survive much longer if not subjected to temperature extremes . +You do have to oil bamboo cutting boards every so often to keep them from drying out ( Bamboo Oil, or butcher block oil is fine). +I got this because I saw Rachel use it on her food network show. +We were looking for an inexpensive and simple coffeemaker. None of that digital timer stuff, just an old-fashioned on-off switch. +You'd be so much better off with the smallest size Benriner from Japan like this oneBenriner Japanese Mandoline Slicerand this to protect your fingersMicroplane 34007 Kitchen Cut-Protection Glove. +These are solid pieces with rounded hooks at the end. +When I went to buy one from the Vitamix site I would have wound up paying over $19 after tax and shipping,... +They even automatically shut off when tipped over . +I ordered 2 sets of 6, which was surprisingly shipped (with my Prime membership) in ONE day instead of the FREE 2 day.... +It's well-insulated , stainless steel, and the lid appeared to seal very well. +It fits perfectly in my oval roaster pan . +I can barely hear it. I think the noise level is on par with our ceiling fan , which runs all year long except in the winter. +I bought mine in white , through Amazon. +I used to use a stovetop pressure cooker but you have little control over the temperature/pressure (see below).As for the sticking issue, I find you need to be careful at the 400F ("browning") temperature not to scorch foods, esp veggies, flour-dredged meats--turn the temp down to 300 or 350F; but if you are searing uncoated meat, 400F is ideal for a good fast sear that releases from the metal. +my wife hates the smell of smoke almost as much as i do but as its a necessary "evil" ; such is life. +This peeler does a great job of that (can go through a dozen Apples in 3 or 4 minutes once you find a setting that works for your most common apple size), but one complaint I have is that it tends to take a lot of the apple with the skin if you're not careful. +but if it is well insulated it will heat a whole two bedroom apartment I have moved from that drafty place I had two oil heaters and this iliving and a gas furnice for a week this was able to make a small room comfortable but in the insulated apartment it is amazing when it is not real cold out it heats the whole house with out the home heater I like the heat better than a gas heater it heats a 12 X 13 room very well next winter I plan to purchase another one and heat this whole apartment with two it is just too big for one when it gets down to the teens . +Choosing a coffee pot is important to us, we are passionate about our coffee...and whatever is going to brew it better be reliable, look good, brew a good pot, and functional. +I had a French press years ago but gave up on it because everything was trial & error --- no directions were included. +Its hold feature comes in handy when you need to get to a better light source to read the temperature. +I use this primarily for seasoning meats before going on the grill. +All glass surface, accurate and powerful power, economic to operate, and the best of all, at Amazon is less than $100.00 dollars, with free shipping, and fast! +If all you're looking for is a conversation piece, by all means buy this... but if you want to grind coffee beans, buy something else . +This vacuum handled them all with ease, made that plush look like brand new! +I've used these Funtainer bottles for years for my 2 kids and we love them . +Otherwise, I can say the following: great color, sturdy, EZ to assemble. The assembly instructions are just drawings, no verbage, but it is very basic to see how to do it - several very nice long screws, some button screw covers and the wood pieces. +I've had them for about a year and they are still good as new. +When I first opened the box with this " fryer " inside, I was a littleintimidated! +For a large person, you might want to consider the next towel size up . +I packaged this DeLonghi back up and went and replaced my Cuisinart with the identical one I have used for years. +After a brief trial, however, I agree with the reviewers who feel this bookrest is better-suited to holding Nooks, Kindles, etc . +Both of us have back problems , bed time used to be nightmare, most mattresses don't hold up as advertised. +It picked up everything on the hardwoods , and most of the stuff on the rug. +I'd gotten these spice jar labels to ID spices in a glass jar set; the idea of being able to rewrite is ideal for my purpose. +So, if you want a great glass in a large size and you don't want plastic, I completely recommend these glasses. +The number of attachments is both a blessing and a curse because with versatility comes the inability to store this machine anywhere. +Also, you can't have a default setting for brewing with one touch, you must pick size, etc. every time . +My reason for purchasing them was because of the airtight feature . +It's very quiet , has a low and high setting and a temperature dial so you can adjust it to the right temperature. +i cook a lot of indian food , and many recipes call for pureeing various spices, chilis, and other vegetables into a paste. +My wife bought this for me over a year ago and I neglected to use it for several months. +(If you watch a lot of Alton Brown like I do, you'll know how often he reaches for the kosher salt; now mine is actually convenient to reach and beautiful enough to leave out all the time!!!) +We live on a farm , so lets just say them hurling is an occurence that happens more often than not, and of course usually in the middle of the night when you least want to clean them up. +This coffee maker is great, it heats the water very well resulting in the brewed coffee @ 165-168 degrees F. It has a very good warming plate that can be adjusted to stay on from 10 to 120 min . +At $9.99 a four pack here at Amazon , they are a bargain and should last several months, at least, in the average house. +The room we had it in is still stinky ! +It does not fit cleanly into a corner angle and is so light weight that a bump dislodges it. +We have a small room converted to an office , on the second story of our house. +It also put out a decent amount of heat. But it also put out a horrific plasticy type of smell. +Me not being a fan of hand-washing, I wish I could toss it in the dishwasher, but I know that would dull the blade, and then what's the point?We have now purchased three of this model for ourselves and two as gifts, as well as purchasing the Victorinox Santoku for ourselves. +The side closer to the center was darker--however, it was within my standards for eating on both sides (but barely on the darker side). +I like the fact that I don't have to look up cooking time because it's on the face of the dial. +It does warm the air around it, so I've avoided using it on hot days. +That slight angle of the handle really makes basting -- and scooping out grease from the top of a simmering homemade stock or stew , or bottom of the pan while browning something -- faster and easier. +The handle will snap off or chip so that when you try to pick up the dirty water bucket, the top falls off. +I did write an e mail to Hoover about it but have not received any answers on how to permanently fix this one little issue. It is easier to use than the older one I had but I replaced it because of the same exact reason, it would not suck the water back up. +I place the attachment part into the hose of my vacuum, and as long as I hold it, it fits. +I'm not a cook . +No longer do I get "floaties" in my herbal teas , even when the herbs are very fine. +Every kitchen needs at least one silicone baking mat. +I also bought this pillow for my hot flashes but honestly I think buying a higher thread count pillow case stays cool all night, not the pillow. In any case, no fluffing is needed and would buy another one in a heart beat. +My previous desk chair had just about no padding left in the seat (thanks a lot, Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption ) so I was excited to try out this mesh back chair. +This design has been around since the 1930's and it's still a good one. +This basket works perfectly to keep our fruit organized and keep a lot of the counter space clean . +My brother-in-law made deviled eggs for Thanksgiving and his eggs were overcooked (green around the yolks) even though he followed a recipe for boiling eggs. +The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is it would be nice to have a single hook option. +It will emulsify salad dressings like nothing else and grate or shred small quantities of cheese perfectly. +I love my Beautiful Candy Apple Red Toaster and the Price too was Excellent . +Gave it a 4-star.- quite sturdy.- does not wobble.- nice and wide.- cover is decent quality .- +The wood is very soft and twisting the ring will cause the hole to widen. +Add this item to the list of smart looking and fabulously functional simple human tools. +This cocktail muddler will look nice on a bar, with a heavy brushed-finish stainless steel handle that is tapered for comfort, and a solid nylon head with pyramidal teeth that won't scratch glass. +I have both a machine shop as well as a cafe , and I can vouch for this product being well made, for the most part. +We know exactly when the water is ready . +I needed to monitor the temperature in winter to make sure the unit is functioning properly (it wasn't - garage just gets too cold). +My brother-in-law visited and recommended these. +a KSM-150 ). +They call it a whole house filtration system, which would lead you to believe that everything you need to install is included, but it's not . +I have had a Taylor 5932 NSF oven thermometer for over 3 yrs now. +I am having some issues with sputtering and the iron leaves wet spots on my clothes while using the steam. +I purchased this air mattress and the Intex Nylon Flocked Queen air mattress. +We have these for our younger kids who don't eat enough to warrant using a full-size dinner plate (or for dessert or toast in the morning for grown ups). +If you have ice cream that is so hard that you cannot easily dish up appropriate portions with this scoop, then the ice cream is probably too hard for you to be eating it in the first place - who knows, it may even be hazardous to your health. +I purchased this as a set to use when guests visit during the winter months (contrary to belief, Central Florida dips into sub freezing a few times during the winter.)Like others have said, the colors are vivid . +I'm giving the cup 3-stars because as I've said: it's a good cup. +Now that I can make great coffee house drinks at home, this latte maker will have paid for itself within a few weeks. +The first was left out in freezing weather by a house-sitter who used it to carry water to some chickens. +After checking it over and recalling my frustration trying to figure out where the right spot to stop filling was at with a regular canning funnel, I decided it was worth buying because the store has a good return policy, plus on the label it clearly says "Satisfaction guaranteed." +For the first year or two this one worked perfectly, and I didn't at all miss having an electric opener . +I've had no discoloration like one reviewer complained of. +The first KitchenAid stand mixer I had was inherited from my mom and dad and they got it for their wedding in 1956 . +The cooking time is about the same as a microwave, and the clean up is pretty quick. I use olive oil for my popcorn. +The dirt cup is not very big. +We've been using them for a three months now +It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee). +I grabbed the instruction booklet and realized it was all in German, which is fine by me because it has PICTURES!!!! IF you cannot follow pictures, simple directions, then you dont deserve good sushi anyway . +I use this primarily for getting lime juice for margaritas . +Bought this to compare to my roomba 560 that I have been using for 3 years. +but thats toobe expected with first time use, then i towel dryedthe extra grease and added lard....put in oven at 500degrees, expect some smoking, just have fans ready, for1 hr...turn oven off, i did this like 3-4 times...thencooked fried potatoes with onions ,worked great, friedan egg and it slid off pan...great pan, just got dutch oven too... +In response to some reviews, please have the sense to check the measurements of the baking sheets, which are stated, and the size of your oven . +It just requires adding all of the ingredients and just turn it on. +I like the design of the rack, it takes up a small amount of space in my cupboard, but the lids just ruin this item. +.margarita ice pops !! +I made 3 shakes with it last night +I was nervous about ordering this because the picture shows a small protrusion coming out of where it would attach to the mixer, and my current beater does not have any such protrusion. +To sum it up--animal fur on furniture is no longer a problem, powerful sweeper and suction- carpeted stairs are now a breeze to clean , even great suction along the edges-the reuseable filter is very durable and very easy to clean-very well designed, feels very balanced, cord storage is excellent-easily switch to hose and crevice tool, and it has great suction as well-glides effortlessly across flat surfacesThis little guy is so handy, I will sometimes get on my hands and knees and do a guick spruce up of the entire living room. +These are the real deal, U.S. made, P-51 can openers, with a small hole to easily attach to a key chain, lanyard or other carrying device. +After switching from a flimsy piece of junk like the Hamilton-Beach I used for years, it is such a pleasure to go to the real McCoy; the Oster . +Not having to ' squeeze ' any handles is great and I personally find it very easy to turn. +Also, with the lid not fitting snug, it would not keep the powder fresh while it was stored in it. +So the basic design is refreshing . +I love it so much that I bought two more for my family members. +I, too, bought this dispenser so that I could easily refill my three cats' bowls each day. +Not as good as the shorter one , coffee does not stay hot as long and for driving this would be a problem if you don't like luke warm coffee. +The water tastes strange ....so I wanted to try something to let us get great tasting water and help the environment by not buying water bottles..... +a set of cookware , I researched and decided on this set. +The cat knocked one cereal bowl off the counter about twenty minutes after I opened the box of dinnerware, and broke it in a million little pieces all over the floor. +My previous pressure cooker was a complex affair with springs and components tucked away in plastic housing so that they could not be accessed . +I bought this heater before got a bad one and I really did not give it a chance I lived in a very drafty home. +My only criticism is that in the rare circumstance when I'm holding something VERY hot (e.g. a tray fresh from a stove on 400F+ ) for 15+seconds my hands will start to get hot. +I spent a little extra to get the timer feature and it was worth it. +I will use it until it breaks , and then I will get one with a wider opening at the top. +This table is a little bigger than I expected! +This is the worst ice cream scoop ever. +According to the manual, when that 20 seconds is up, you have to wait five minutes before grinding again; otherwise, the manual warns that the motor may overheat.

-The pan is nice and sturdy , I wish the sides were just a bit taller, but it still worked for my recipe. -The pan is nice and sturdy, I wish the sides were just a bit taller , but it still worked for my recipe. -Unfortunately, in one of the places it was so think, that a spike formed, and I cut my fingers on it while washing the pan. -The coating is not sprayed as with other pans, so it is a bit thicker in places. -The surface is smooth and although I needed to run a spatula around the cake to remove it, it was really easy to wash after that, see - I didn't even use a cloth to wash it, and my cut fingers are the proof for that. -My sleep quality has improved , I wake up less at night and I never wake up feeling sore. -The edges of the mattrees are hard and a pain to sit on . -The smell took a while to get used to, also. -I absolutely HATE waking up sweating and this was the deal breaker for me. -When moving the mattress around it's awkward and heavy , so if you plan on moving soon or you like to rearrange furniture often, keep that in mind; this also pertains to the packaging - it's too large for your standard car. -I originally bought this item to fit store bought eggs inside their original container to be put inside this plastic container but the original container won't fit along with the eggs in this plastic container. -works as advertised so it gets five stars . -there is enough room for the standard size store bought egg. -you have to take the eggs out individually and put them in this container. -it locks on all four sides which is why i love lock n lock brand keeps peace and safer mind if dropped. -We purchased this mold for soap making .It is a pretty mold but for those making CP soap in it I recommend you do a couple of batches of re-milled soap first just to get the "bleeding" out of the way or making red soap first few batches. -It is a pretty mold but for those making CP soap in it I recommend you do a couple of batches of re-milled soap first just to get the "bleeding" out of the way or making red soap first few batches. -Let it sit longer than you normally would before un-molding too if not you will lose some of the detail at the bottom of the mold. -When used properly it makes beautiful soap and lotion bars !

-It's not that using the iron is so terribly difficult but, with garments made of linen or wool, you can often iron in such a way that a seam becomes permanently visible . -The steamer allows you to get rid of creases and wrinkles without leaving collateral marks on the clothes. -It also is a great way to " refresh " otherwise clean clothes that I'd normally send to the dry cleaner just to get them to hang properly again. -The hanger that's included isn't that great, but when I substitute my own padded hangers it's ideal. -For whatever reason, using the iron seems like a chore, but using the steamer is like playing with a toy . -I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded, and two others had strings hanging from them. -I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded , and two others had strings hanging from them. -I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded, and two others had strings hanging from them . -Won't be of any use in the kitchen for wiping up spills and such. -I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded, and two others had strings hanging from them. -I have a black one that came with accessories--dough hooks, whisk, and drink mixer rod. -I have a black one that came with accessories-- dough hooks, whisk, and drink mixer rod . -I have a black one that came with accessories-- dough hooks , whisk, and drink mixer rod. -This mixer is such a workhorse ; it is always up for any amount of mixing you want to do. -I've had other hand mixers (wedding gifts) but none of them compared to the KitchenAid one. -I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better. -I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better. -However, after two years, the twill fabric on the Calphalon mitt is pulling apart at the outside seam near my little finger, exposing about 2 inches of the inside padding. -I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better. -I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better. -Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensive Bodum Chambord coffee press over this far more affordable plastic model. -It pays to start with fresher beans and a lighter roast than you might be used to, and experiment to determine how strong you like it. -The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz., a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter. -The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz. , a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter. -Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensiveBodum Chambordcoffee press over this far more affordable plastic model. -I've been trying to find this type of corkscrew which potentially can last for years instead of breaking within months. -This is "guaranteed for life", though I'd hardly expect I'd ever make a claim unless it died within the first year or so. -I've been trying to find this type of corkscrew which potentially can last for years instead of breaking within months. -Seems extremely well made and solid and comes with that stylish and effective steel and rubber bottle stopper. -This is " guaranteed for life ", though I'd hardly expect I'd ever make a claim unless it died within the first year or so. -I have the Damask Dark Gray Heather Pinzon Plush Throw , 50 X 70 inches. -I am now ready to stop bringing my bulky, fuzzy green queen-sized comforter (a major eyesore) into the living room to keep off the chill. -I have the Damask Dark Gray Heather Pinzon Plush Throw, 50 X 70 inches . +Had high hopes for this Vornado , but not sure if I like it. +At about 2 inches thick and made into squares to keep the materials from shifting too much its pretty nice, especially considering the cost. +And the handle is very comfortable to hold, but, when it comes to wanting to get 2/3 of a cup of water, the numbers are relatively small and thin and not that easy to read. +For this, a proper kitchen knives set is essential. +I had some concerns that the pan wouldn't release the cakes from the crevices (petals), but everything turned out perfectly! +However, after about 1.5 years of use, it now leaks out of the sides even when filled to half its capacity. +Toast is better than from any previous toaster- evenly brown, crisp and rapid . +Both have been sent back . +I hate to clean and am a procrastinator so it took several months after receiving this steamer to finally use it. +After watching a video on youtube to understand more on what to do I tried it out . +It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. +First of all, this is exactly what I was looking for as far as asthetics go. +I'm very new to my Kitchenaid Mixer and it has been intimidating to use at first. +The holder is divided into 3 compartments so the utensils don't become hopelessly tangled. +I got this for my daughter , who is an avid tea drinker. +I understood that once herbs were placed in it, it needed to be frozen before use. +This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically .The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. +Namely Black and Decker, Panasonic, and whatever brand makes the Shark . +But so far, these pillows are great. +So I searched and found the Lasko 2551 , decided to give it a try. +I like the idea of a grinder and brewer combination coffeemaker, but I think they need more innovation because the product needs some improvement. +I bought this for my guest room and laid on it this morning for about 5 minutes, it felt okay. +This slotted spoon, like the rest of the products from the OXO Good Grips line , is a great value of superior quality, unsurpassed durability, and flawless performance. +it is easy to clean and works great . +my refrigerator . +I believe the $10 filter is made by WEB - I've been able to cut it in such a way as to get 3 pre-filters out of each. +During the coldest months of the year, energy usage in my home decreased considerably by simply setting the dial to the energy saver symbol . +My sandwich was perfect and delicious. My Biscuits were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. +I would call it medium firm as it seems to have the traditional memory foam which is not very soft like the newer open cell memory foam . +it's terrific in design! +Bissell is the only company that makes these, which makes me wonder why Eureka, Hoover, and other good companies don't have something even close to offer in the spot cleaning robot machine category. +I don't like " upgrading " something I already have if it isn't worth it. +Tassimo is the middle of the road. Better machine than Dolce Gusto/Keurig but cappuccino is not as good/creamy. +As for footprint, it's only slightly larger than the block that's made for a Miracle-Knife-III knife set. +so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented ). +Because over 100 people had confirmed ( 75 showed up) and it takes about 30 sec. +However, one genuine complaint is that one of these slipped out of my hand less than five feet onto a relatively soft flooring ( wood ) +So, after many a sleepless cough-filled night, I decided to buy this mattress protector along with a pillowcover for our daughter's bed. +I have a decent number of Umbra products, so I already knew these weren't some solid metal bird holders. +My young daughter quickly figured out how to work the pour-button spout on the handle, so you may want to make sure that it's up high enough on counters or in the fridge so that little hands can't reach it . +The foaming mechanism is clever but could be improved to avoid the "leaking" that sometimes occurs, but overall we would buy this one again over any of the others for the price range. +After adding syrup to the milk, and using the frother, I chugged down the glass like there was no tomorrow. +The battery itself charges in I think about 3 hours and there is an indicator on the base that flashes when its ready for use. +I love this pie cutter and use it all the time. +Ordered 3 days ago, got the idiotic replica which for some reason has no slant whatsoever (one would think even the people making the knockoffs would recognize the overall purpose of the thing.) It's also itty bitty , maybe holding a hotel bar comfortably, but no way a bath bar. +We bought 2 clothes racks for $20 each at the conglomerate department store that starts with a "W", yes, that one. +Have you tried using a ricer for mashed potatoes? +Folded in half, it provides a reasonable layer of protection from the tile and has held up ok after about 2 months of washing. My review of this item is very heavily based on the price I paid for it. +They did scare my daughter when she came over to use them as she has dull knives at her house and was expecting how sharp these were. +I wrote the company to find out if the plastic used in this is BPA -free (friend of mine is obsessed with this) and was assured that it is free of BPA... this is a good quality product that I've used every day for 3 weeks. +Unlike most glass items, there was no foam to hold delicate glass in place against the harder wood....only very think cardboard like you would find on the back of a cheap notepad. +It's also nice for Stella Artois (a lager), local crafted ales and Pils (Pilsner) if you can find a good one. +To remedy this problem you need to dilute the soap with some water to get it thinner. +Brush with melted butter or spritz with non-stick spray for the first use, and it won't be necessary after that. +The easiest solution to the pump problem is to not take the water chamber off of the base and just refill it with a pitcher as needed. +I give it a four because I think the manf should put an on//off switch on it. +I dust it off & use it each summer to dry the fruits & veggies from the garden. +even if you never put it in the dishwasher , which is always a big no-no with coated cookware like this). +i use a camp chef stove and recently purchased their pizza oven. +I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to juice limes or lemons regularly. +It gets the job done, for basic microwaving tasks . +I was interested in electrics , but never wanted to pay the price to try one. +Long cord, easy to fill with water, steam in 30-seconds , two levels of steam, even distribution of steam, light weight, no hand pumping, swivel head for tight spots, pad attaches easily. +This OXO double jigger fits the bill perfectly!Each side has three very clearly marked increments for very precise measurements . +a sleek simple design . +Well constructed with mostly stainless steel and easy/fast to dismantle and reassemble4. +so I bought this as a Christmas present. +The Zojurishi comes in handy to not only cook rice for large groups, but also to keep rice warm and ready for consuming for around two days . +It's very sharp , at the trip to the ER confirmed when I cut open a finger by accident and barely felt it. +I purchased the rose colored one which has a soft, iridescent, pearly rose tint to it and I've gotten several compliments on it, but I don't think the presentation alone is worth $26.99. +I use this with a double recipe of gluten free bread to make six small loaves of bread which I stick in the fridge until eaten. +The lock mechanism was refreshing , compared to every other blender I've ever used; which always made me feel like I was breaking it by trying to get it to snap in place. +It's just too expensive , and not warm enough for the size. +It looks real sharp, DOES NOT LEAK one drop, and it keeps my coffee REAL hot for many, many hours. +I like this one because the mesh at the bottom forms such a good seal that very little of the grinds make their way past it. +It needs a way for water to enter and drain frim the front and sides . +I never heard of the company Spiegelau , but I really like the glasses. Made in Portugal, it is a 60% cotton/ 40% acrylic blend that is incredibly warm and soft for both its size and thickness. -However, it goes even further by having an embroidered edge ON TOP of the usual stitching. -AeroPress makes a wonderful coffee and is also really good for traveling. -I have used this for many years and my friend who owns a local cafe and is a connoisseur (which I am not) tells me that it is known to be better than the less expensive espresso machines and to get as good a cup of coffee I would have to get a very expensive (like 1000$ ) espresso coffee maker. -I have used this for many years and my friend who owns a local cafe and is a connoisseur (which I am not) tells me that it is known to be better than the less expensive espresso machines and to get as good a cup of coffee I would have to get a very expensive (like 1000$ ) espresso coffee maker. -When I travel for a month I take it with me, as it is lightweight and small, and a cup of coffee per day at a cafe is $4 euros and more, and that can add up over a month. -When I travel for a month I take it with me, as it is lightweight and small, and a cup of coffee per day at a cafe is $4 euros and more , and that can add up over a month. -But the biggest selling point for me is that I can put it in the dishwasher . -So I've got a cupboard full of travel mugs , but this is hands down my favorite. -However, I have been putting it in the top rack of my dishwasher nearly every day for 6 months, and it is still in perfect condition. -so my husband wouldn't take it ...but I did get him a nice, black one and he's just as happy with it). -The top comes apart easily for easy cleaning. -The intake is smooth plastic, but I suspect it could scar some furniture, or at least leave minor tracks on the surface; it did not on my furniture, but the manufacturer should buffer the end with a brush or felt . -The intake is smooth plastic, but I suspect it could scar some furniture, or at least leave minor tracks on the surface; it did not on my furniture, but the manufacturer should buffer the end with a brush or felt. -On the plus side, I used it for at least an hour the first time without having any loss of power from the battery. -I can't say how the filters work, because I've not had to replace one thus far. -Bottom line, the Black & Decker Pivot Vac is probably better for the shop than the home. -My Daughter and both have reactions to theses especially Carrageenan . -I use cream which makes it thicker and honey on top I calculated the calories and it is a lot less then many store bought ones -WOW what a concept Yogurt made out of only Milk or cream no additives and has more probiotics. -I use cream which makes it thicker and honey on top I calculated the calories and it is a lot less then many store bought ones -This is so easy I wish I would have done this years ago, Now I am no longer lactose intolerant who knew?? -The dial is very large which I like so it can be read easily. -The dial is very large which I like so it can be read easily. -The housing seem to be made of good quality materials. -I like the fact that I don't have to look up cooking time because it's on the face of the dial. -I like the fact that I don't have to look up cooking time because it's on the face of the dial. -I weigh a lot of my ingredients, especially when I'm baking gluten free goodies, so it's important to have a good scale on hand. -This Kitchen Gurus scale is easy to read with its high contrast LCD display. -This Kitchen Gurus scale is easy to read with its high contrast LCD display. -And I like how it's easy to clean and made of durable tempered glass that can hold up to 11 pounds. -And I like how it's easy to clean and made of durable tempered glass that can hold up to 11 pounds . -Plus we have dogs and I have to put them where the dogs can't get to them. -I have a ton of shoes too and I'm going to put about 20 pairs of athletic type shoes in one side, boots, and thongs and sandals and put those on the floor too. +The pot's outside is entirely enameled and the bottom is flat , so it could be used on a ceramic stove top without risk of scratches. +Gosh, I really like the OXO Good Grips Over the Door Stainless Steel Rack... Since they're clear , it's easy to see what you want right away. -I ordered two of thee and so glad that I did. -I have a lot of purses that take up shelf room. -Saw the review for this in Cooks Illustrated and couldn't believe there was a spatula out there that was real rubber -Saw the review for this in Cooks Illustrated and couldn't believe there was a spatula out there that was real rubber and I had missed it, but here it is! -There are two handle lengths, a 13 inch and a 9 1/2'. -Rubbermaid White Spatula 9 1/2"I have found that they do not pick up color, at least not with my pasta sauce or food coloring when baking;

that the clips for the lid get in the way a bit if you use pot holders to try and remove the crock while it's still hot , but it's not enough of a complaint to lower my rating. -I can leave a roast

although, I'm sure it would be fine for that as well. -My daughter is slightly afraid of this Dustbuster so when she is acting up we chase her with it. -My daughter is slightly afraid of this Dustbuster so when she is acting up we chase her with it. -I wish this Dustbuster had an attachment to get to those hard-to-reach places, but otherwise I think it does a fabulous job. -It is easy to clean out and change the filter . -Luckily a charge lasts a week if you use it for a minute at a time. -I will need to cut a 120mm round hole for the fan and some other vent holes in the back of the desk. -One thing I wish it had now was an on/off switch. -I intend to mount it to the back of my computer desk to provide ventilation when the door to the computer compartment is closed. -And even better would be a thermal switch so it would only run when its hot. -Since it works by pressure and not by adhesive , there won't be any marks on your tile. -I wouldn't use this on drywall or any soft-material wall for fear of indenting it, but if your shower wall is drywall you have bigger problems. -This might be a little pricey at first glance, but it is very well-made of quality material and does its job perfectly with no flaws, making it worth the $30 price point in my book. -Besides being able to support the weight of as many soap and shampoo bottles that you can fit on top of it, but it has a small bar and two hooks for your rag, loofah or whatever other accessories you use in the shower. -The bottom of the shelf has small openings in it so water can drain. -The vacuum they fit is a complete piece of junk, but if you insist on continuing to use it (or somehow it hasn't broken down on you yet), these bags are what you need. -This product is made in China . -The vacuum they fit is a complete piece of junk, but if you insist on continuing to use it (or somehow it hasn't broken down on you yet), these bags are what you need. -They're kind of hard to find in the store, probably because Electrolux disowned the Intensity vacuum (model EL5020A) after having come to the realization themselves that it was terrible. -I bought 3 of these for my adult children . -I have had a similar one for many years & one of my children mentioned that she'd like to try & find one of these for herself, so when I saw them on Amazon I couldn't resist. -I have had a similar one for many years & one of my children mentioned that she'd like to try & find one of these for herself, so when I saw them on Amazon I couldn't resist. -but I like the safety cover . +This brewer includes the filter system and the reusable My K-Cup that must be purchased with the other systems. +For a butterfly theme party, it gives you a good variety of butterflies (although a couple are more moth shaped than butterfly shaped). +For the price it is good. +The first and major problem I have had with it is leaky water during steaming - when the iron had fully heated. +Basically this glaze does absorb so don't clean it with anything you wouldn't want to later eat. +We tried using a safety pin to remove some of the plasticky blue coating they'd painted the threads with (WHY?) and still couldn't make much progress. +I put the paper in the bottom, and added the hamburg , Then I pressed the meat, and after removing the rolled meat just rolled the paper around the rest of the meat, and put them in the freezer on a tray. +Considering you spend a third of your life in bed, it's hard to justify not spending $100 or so to vastly improve your quality of life. +She was making me some potatoes in the over and had one of these liners on the baking sheet. +Bottom line, the Black & Decker Pivot Vac is probably better for the shop than the home. +I bought this hand-held vac because of the good reviews (should have read the one-star's) and I just sold it in a garage sale. +It does not sweat, it does not leak, it is easy to clean, the opening is wide enough to add ice and it sure keeps liquids icy cold for a very long time. +I might suggest that in conjunction with this attachment for the pet that you look into the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Vacuum, Corded, 33A1 for the furniture as the Dyson groom is too stiff for upholstery. +Overall I usually really like OXO products, so I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe this rack fits the doors on newer homes better. +Thankfully, I also used my label printer to put adhesive labels on the lid of each box to indicate their contents. +I have always been happy with Wilton's products and this is standing right up there to what I have expected. +so I went out to buy a battery powered fan, something grab n' go. I got this because it was a convenient size for the refrigerator for my ground flax seed . -I like the way that the Sistema Klip system holds the tops on the containers. -So, dump in your olives . -The description doesn't tell you, so I don't know if they still send it: The container comes with a strainer and a clip for it . -I got this to go in our bathroom . -This is an aluminum pole with stainless steel adjustable shelves . -that rust . -I was able to do it alone with no help from my husband . -The shelves have to be put on before installation but can be adjusted once installed. -I BOUGHT 2 OF YHESE CUBES . -they are cheaply made, we ended up with parts that are left over because they have no directions where to put them !. -the company refused to take the one back,BUT AS USUAL AMAZON CAME TO MY RESCUE! -A BROWN MILK CASE ! -It has actually useful and worthwhile features ( temp, and "keep warm" ). -My coffee really does seem better at 175F (aeropress).In use though, you have to 'learn it'. -Review Edit: definitely dropping this to 3 stars , might contemplate 2. -Overall, it's a nice looking product, but the user experience was not designed properly at all, and the performance is questionable . -so I'm giving it a 4 , rather than a 3, -Zojirushi really knows how to make a rice-cooker. -Be ware.. 10-cups refers to Japanese cups, which are smaller than American cups. -Pros:-- can cook a variety of rice and other grains (even more than its predecessors)-- extremely reliable results-- can keep rice warm for extended periods of time -- very easy to useCons:-- as with other models, the instruction book leaves a little to be desired-- very loud, annoying sounds when the rice is done. -Pros:-- can cook a variety of rice and other grains (even more than its predecessors)-- extremely reliable results-- can keep rice warm for extended periods of time-- very easy to useCons:-- as with other models, the instruction book leaves a little to be desired-- very loud, annoying sounds when the rice is done. -This only lasts a few seconds, but it is very assertive (if this is one of the 'cons', you know that the product is pretty much perfect)-- fairly large footprint, but it is light enough to store under the counter or in a less conspicuous place. -I purchased these glasses as a Christmas gift for my son and daughter in law . -I purchased these glasses as a Christmas gift for my son and daughter in law. -Anyway, glasses are good looking albeit a bit different -They feel good in your hand I a imagine they won't get dropped as often as others because of the indentations . -I would give 4.5 stars but you can't. -We have an entire set of All-Clad , and need to add a couple more pieces. -The bottoms never warp so it's always even heating, no wolbbling on the burner, food doesn't run to one edge. -Because without execption, there is none better. -Being stainless steel , the surface is very smooth and hard. -I honestly figure these pots and pans will be in the family long after I'm gone, passed on to my daughter , and probably to hers later. -Pour some right into a glass and some through this aerator (and ideally into a second glass).For me, immediately after pouring the wine which had been aerated tasted much better. -Pour some right into a glass and some through this aerator (and ideally into a second glass).For me, immediately after pouring the wine which had been aerated tasted much better. -The aerated wine tasted even better. -Pop the cork on your favorite Merlot . -The aerator was sent so I could provide this fair and honest review . -With a recent downturn in the temperatures up here in the Pacific NW , I needed an extra "layer" -- saw this, read the reviews, and ordered it. -I've washed it once , and put it through the dryer. -It did produce significant amount of " fuzz ," but most of it remained in the dryer on the filter, and I haven't noticed much on the bed. -I ordered the "sage" color -- it's a soft almost neutral sage/olive green that works well in a lot of palettes. -With a recent downturn in the temperatures up here in the Pacific NW, I needed an extra "layer" -- saw this, read the reviews, and ordered it. +I thought I had it fixed by pushing it in a little, but last night came home to water all over the counter and floor after setting it out for several hours to be ready to turn on when we got home. +I like to brew my own tea and coffee while traveling and this strainer fits the need perfectly. +The front and sides are beveled to slip under the food easily. +I highly recommend this vac for someone who needs a small, corded vac that's powerful and an easy clean. +The stainless steel cups (7) fit perfectly in the larger container, and the lid fits tightly even with the spoons (7) in the individual cups. +There are four of them, all heavy stainless steel. +It does a little better if you set the cooktop to "warm" instead of leaving it on regular cooking/boiling modes, but then it'll only give you about ten seconds of having the pot off the surface before it beeps at you to demand you put it back down. +I bought this oven 7 years ago at Macy's not knowing how it will perform and it just died on me this weekend. +I never thought I'd love a bread pan so much. +This is just your basic, cheap, hecho in China colander . +Ours is brushed nickel and it matches perfectly with the other brushed nickel pieces in the bathroom. +Obviously if you attach them they are more secure , but they work fine for painting and finishing if you just put them under the work on a counter top. +I did use it to melt butter and later to simmer giblets and finally to make gravy -- and it was superb in all cases. +I saw a pizelle maker in Crate and Barrell and the associate convinced me how delicious they were, and that they were an italian tradition. +I added some honey and vanilla and my 3 year old son and I played around with various colors and it was yummy! Drinkable yogurt is annoyingly expensive and my son usually doesn't like the taste. +All the wooden dowels have a smooth, painted white coating that is easy to wipe clean. +I set the dial to about 3/4 the way, and a full gallon of water lasted 3 nights. I have been using high purity water to prevent mineral build up and hopefully this little guy will last me a long time. +It is an Oxo product and they are always high quality and durable. +I was also having a problem with my # 4 filters when making 8 cups in my Gevalia, made by Cuisinart, 12 cup machine. +We eat mainly excellent grass fed beef and this device makes it even better. +This is way more than I ever anticipated typing about a napkin holder. I deduct one overall star because it's a needless product for reasons mentioned above, but let it keep five stars because, like all OXO products, it's solidly built and works as advertises. +The blade does not get gooky with dried food and require cleaning 4. +These Tortilla Bowl Makers are a Great and Healthier alternative to Frying Tortillas by Baking them in the Oven, I use Whole Wheat Tortillas and they look Terrific, sometimes I brushed them with Different Flavored Oils for a Better Tasting and Crispy Tortilla. +The T-Fal ActiFry performed exactly as advertised, to my surprise. +I don't think they'd fall apart or anything like that, but they really don't stand out in any way. I'd get them if you feel the price is good for 6 fairly good-sized dish towels, but not because you expect them to be something special. +A 10-inch pan is much more practical, especially if you've got things on the other burners. +I've ordered two separate shipments of two boxes each, and all have arrived in perfect, unbroken condition . +The brush is very well made with a stainless steel handle.that is comfortable to hold and use. +It is of good heft (not flimsy) and makes it extremely easy to knead dough or roll out pizza or pie dough to an exact size. +I bought this oven 7 years ago at Macy's not knowing how it will perform and it just died on me this weekend. +It comes with screws and anchors , and I have to say I never mess with anchors and never have an issue - point being that I screwed this into the wall without the anchors. +If you want a water-tight seal, use a regular two-piece canning lid because these leak like a sieve; if the two-piece feature really bugs you, hot-glue the flat to the ring. +It is a one-person job , no problem. +I purchased 4 of these to align side by side and two on top. +while this may be good for tuna in decreasing the amount of mayo, it's a problem with fruits and other canned goods. +This slotted spoon, like the rest of the products from the OXO Good Grips line, is a great value of superior quality, unsurpassed durability, and flawless performance. +After careful consideration and reading other reviews, I picked this one almost 3 years ago... and I'm so glad I did! +I have Curculon skillets that I use on a daily basis so I was thrilled to receive this. +I had never eaten soft boiled eggs , and on whim purchased this unit after reading other positive reviews. +Also, there is a label attached to the bottom with a glue that doesn't come off with normal washing. +This will save you a lot of money in the long run as well only having to buy the kernels, microwave popcorn bags can add up. +I filed a claim with Amazon and got my money back. +I was also worried that this new design would not work with my preferred soap -- Bath & Body Works "kitchen lemon" -- but +I wouldn't recommend it if you have a tension rod, since you'll be putting bottles of fluids in it. +If you take it out immediately the white is runny. +There is very little clearance for anything but the smallest espresso cups (don;t think of trying to fit a normal mug or cup).You would also since they only thing that can fit under it is an espresso cup that the unit would dispense the right amount automatically. +First of all, unlike my "red" ones, this is a nice light blue - and best of all it fits my cookie sheet perfectly!This mentions several "other" ways to use a silicone liner, but as a "canner," I want to mention an area that this comes in particularly handy. +If I don't use something, it ends up gone ... but a microplane grater will NEVER be absent from my kitchen again. +One thing I wish it had now was an on/off switch. +You can go from stove to oventop . +I replaced the chord and it works well again. +There is a gap, up to about a quarter of inch . +For me, the only little problem is sometimes trying to get the top on after filling it with beans - it's hard to tell where to set the top exactly and how to get it to twist so the arrows are aligned, so sometimes I have fiddled with it awhile before it clicks. +This pillow broke down and turned into a misshapen lump within 2 weeks . +We like this design much more than the plastic NuWave we had whose hood we had to replace after it cracked a year or so after we bought it. +Even so, with the added 60-day satisfaction guarantee and 3-year warranty from the remanufacturing company ("BuyHappier"), I don't think I will be unhappy at all. +First bought a Dansk one from crate and barrel, but the pepper compartment was tiny, so returned that. +I like the strap handle . +I ordered one of these covered casseroles to use as a salt crock . +For me, easiyo is especially in winter , when I don't have the help of the warmer weather, easier, AND I enjoy the milder less tart taste of the NZ milk as well. +Just the right size, fairly thick plastic , and although there was a rubber smell for 1 or 2 days the odor went away. +The Dish is 12-3/8 inches x 8 inches . +I love the fact that this scale goes up to 11 pounds and still small enough to leave on the counter. +I do suppose it's true that it's not an airtight seal, but we've gone through its' capacity ( 1/2 stick ) in no more than 2 meals, so it's not really an issue for us. +I was glad I read the reviews before purchasing because several of them had tips for assembling the racks if you were doing it alone (it would work better with two people.) +Plus is it just more hygienic . +Can't find these in the stores any more; thank goodness for amazon.com where I can buy everything with the touch of a button and no waiting in line. +So far, this is my favorite of every iron I've ever had, and I've been ironing for more than half-a-century . +It is heavy duty but not heavy (an advantage of aluminum ). +The blade does not get gooky with dried food and require cleaning4. +I love this pan and my other Calphalon pans! This is the perfect size for frying up 2-3 eggs and makes for easy clean up. I can't believe that I can fry eggs without oil or butter! +Was trying to justify spending a lot of money for a set of All Clad cookware . +I do use white pepper often, but only as powder . +Well, I just finished the first pass of my home with this new Bissell . +Glass tops ensure you can see if your water is boiling. +I've has this toaster for about 5 months now. +When you first see the price tag on this portable A/C unit, you might suffer a bit of sticker shock , but let me tell you right out - it is worth every penny. +it will probably rip , as it is also quite thin. +So You have to refill every day.- Steam only goes up straight , the angled attachment seems not working great. +If this tray cost $6 or $8 I would be happy, but not at $27.50, this is for collectors only. +Prefilter had 1/16" of dust on it. +The best part of this hamper is the flexibility of it . +These glasses, like the 2 oz are beautiful, and are wonderful for hot drinks, such as lattes, and cold drinks, such as bourbon .I have arthritis which sometimes effects my ability to pick up heavy (?) objects, such as a coffee cup. +The Hoover is much lighter and has a longer & more flexible hose but to use the handheld part, you have to manually disconnect and then reconnect the hose. +These are simple to use - you need to flush them with about 1 gallon or 4 liters of water to activate all the filter area. +The shelves on this rack are level, which allows you to put a pair of flat sandals, flip-flops, or even flat dress shoes on the floor underneath. +the chilling panel hugs the bottle so tighly it is a little difficult removing it . +Overall this purchase would rank as a 4.5-5-Star aquisition under normal circumstances...except:It is advertised as a 16-ounce cup, but wait... +Update: This grinder is under powered. I returned the first one because it regularly needed to be thoroughly cleaned out before it would work again. +I liked that you could put in several of the cloves at once. +This baby cuts through ice cream smoothly and effortlessly . +Provides the perfect physical layer to protect against Bed Bugs , Dust Mites & Allergens. +The Cuisinart is a MUCH better overall fondue pot and for a LOT less money, plus it is dishwasher safe. +The not quite so likable items: the floor brush is suction only, a plastic rectangle with short bristles all around the edge . +So I will be without a bed for over two weeks and then I wonder once they fix it will it be broken again in another few months . +This little one cup brewer does the job much less mess and fuss. +I used it at 450 degrees for the first 20 minutes of roasting the chicken in the oven (turned it down to 350 for the rest of the time) and it emerged fine, coating intact. +The hopper jams a lot if the grinder is left on the counter top. +It is really 9 1/2 x 13 1/2 X 8 1/2 which was what I really wanted anyway +I'm not sure what product was received by the other folks that have written reviews about this product but I do know that my Ionizer was a real DUD .First of all you need a really DEEP 12v socket in order to plug it in - take a look at the picture - see the little silver button on the side? +my new set is stainless steel in the interior, but i purchased this skillet for cooking the occasional omelette and eggs (i hear non-stick is better for it). +OXO makes pretty good kitchen and household products and this is one of them. +I ordered the second bamboo cutting board after having used a locally purchased one for a while. +I am able to limit the use of A/C if I have a means for proper ventilation. +I let the coffee brew 24 hours on the countertop and the results are consistent. +No such thing as a quick juicing before work -- you'll be spending 10 mins trying to get it to lock in place then 20 mins trying to clean up.overall, I find this machine difficult to work with. +My grandma used to have a bread machine I almost had a heart attack the first time I used this ( Hoover Elite Rewind for $79 at Walmart). -I almost had a heart attack the first time I used this (Hoover Elite Rewind for $79 at Walmart). -I almost had a heart attack the first time I used this (Hoover Elite Rewind for $79 at Walmart ) -I never realized how much dirt my old Eureka was leaving behind. -My living room is 14 X 20 . -I got the two cup angled measuring cup from Oxo because I'm always trying to get the right amount of water for our oatmeal when I'm still half asleep and it's a nuisance using a regular measuring cup. -I got the two cup angled measuring cup from Oxo because I'm always trying to get the right amount of water for our oatmeal when I'm still half asleep -I got the two cup angled measuring cup from Oxo because I'm always trying to get the right amount of water for our oatmeal when I'm still half asleep and it's a nuisance using a regular measuring cup. -And the handle is very comfortable to hold, but, when it comes to wanting to get 2/3 of a cup of water, the numbers are relatively small and thin and not that easy to read. -The major measurements such as 1 cup is larger and thicker but the smaller ones, in red , disappoint. -Every kitchen needs at least one silicone baking mat. -I've used it for cookies , biscuits, sticky marinated meats, and everything has cooked perfectly, come off easy, and clean up was a snap!

-I would have given this disc holder a 5-star rating except that the child-resistant safety button/knob is difficult for arthritic hands to lift and twist at the same time. -It is well-made and stores 3 discs, a dough blade, and the chopping blade. -Although it is fairly large, it is easy to keep on top of my fridge , as it is very lightweight but sturdy. -The Maeva Universal Filter 2 pack is a great alternative to buying the Brita replacement filters because they just don't need presoaking. -The Maeva Universal Filter 2 pack is a great alternative to buying the Brita replacement filters because they just don't need presoaking. -WThe Mavea filter fit in both units absolutely perfectly. -I was very pleasantly surprised with this product and the pricing is comparable . -Even though it technically was not necessary, one rinse sufficed with the Mavea filter and the water ran crystal clear and clean. -Hey, get a shop vac from Sears . -I tried adding a 50' extension cord but it seemed to get wrapped around everything. -I can't give a carpet rating as I only have hardwood floors but it sure does the job for me and I have two 65 lb boxers that are always on the wrong side of the door. -Having said that, this Cordless from Hoover is Great! -I loved the big hoover with a bag but my wife kept giving them away because she couldn't muscle it around. -Pretty crummy quality overall, especially for $65 bucks for an aquarium pump and a timer. -I had the Cooper Cooler for about a year and a half, used it here and there, maybe every couple weeks if needed. -That wasn't a huge deal as it could chill cans really quickly with just the water pump. -I had the Cooper Cooler for about a year and a half, used it here and there, maybe every couple weeks if needed. -Pretty crummy quality overall, especially for $65 bucks for an aquarium pump and a timer. -I didnt realize when I bought this, but you can only use 10 inch tortillas with this. -It is very easy to clean as it's nonstick , but it doesnt come apart. -I cant get enough!Another thing to keep in mind with this, is the plates do not come off. -I always clean right after using to avoid anything getting crusted on. -Anything smaller is a disaster (especially if you are using cheese)When using 10 inch tortillas, this quesdilla maker seals the edges when you close and lock the lid, and makes little pocket triangles. -But it rolls from room to room easily. -It does warm the air around it, so I've avoided using it on hot days. -Okay, I have spilled the bucket a few times when I pulled it out--find it a bit awkward to handle--but at least the appliance turns off if I forget to empty it. -Okay, I have spilled the bucket a few times when I pulled it out--find it a bit awkward to handle--but at least the appliance turns off if I forget to empty it. -This works--will reduce humidity down to 45% which is the lowest I have tried to go with it. -My husband and I had to get creative when we moved into a place that had a master bedroom without a closet . -We bought 2 clothes racks for $20 each at the conglomerate department store that starts with a "W", yes, that one. -We bought 2 clothes racks for $20 each at the conglomerate department store that starts with a "W", yes, that one. -Then one night we just laid down to watch a movie when suddenly; BOOM!

No trouble getting them on the phone, no trouble with my order. +Most of my prior NordicWare purchases were Bundt pans, but I've recently expanded into baking pies, so I purchased a covered pie pan. +So my stars go from 5 to 2 or 3 , because you can still fry in it on a gas stove, and the lid works, it did not change when the bottom warped. +Once the water boils, the Hot Shot cuts off automatically , so there's no problem leaving it plugged in. +This is easy to use, the skillet does not stick and the glass cover allows one to see what is happening without the spatterRecommended!Dr. +This stainless steel bodied rack measures in at 3.6" x 19.2" x 10.6" and features five padded hooks. +Def. recommend . +I am really thrilled to own these. +Yes, the item in question weighs roughly 100 lbs , but the portability doesn't have to do with the weight, but rather the ability to have it anywhere in your house or apartment rather than shoved in a window. +As always if my opioion or any issues come up I will update this review, but so far super happy with this vacuum... +It balances well on the front edge of my counter, and the expanding basket is extremely useful. +One complaint I had with my old slow cooker was that it ran very hot and overcooked food . +This non-abrasive, smooth paste instantly shines up copper and removes even tough stains almost effortlessly. +For fondant i add a really small amount to the fondant i wish to use to make decorations. +In other words, if you need to grab or pick up something with the tip of your fingers and your hands are small to medium , you can't use this mitt. +I'd bet anyone would be happy having this scraper in their kitchen! +Useful addition to my kitchen This item arrived on time and is an excellent purchase. +High quality . +However, they are very stiff which makes it hard to get a good grip on things you are pulling out of the oven. +All of these in-sink soap dispensers have inexplicably narrow-necked bottles which makes them very difficult to fill without crawling underneath the sink and unscrewing the bottle . +When I travel for a month I take it with me, as it is lightweight and small, and a cup of coffee per day at a cafe is $4 euros and more , and that can add up over a month. +It was non-stick as described, heated evenly on an electric stove and overall I was pretty satisfied with it. +Other nice feature is the digital temperature gauge .The one drawback is the handle heats up and gets to be too hot. +It doesn't close and it works pretty much exactly like the cup you get at a coffee house but this has a screw top lid and sealing gasket. They do not have valves or little pieces to wash and disinfect which is great for me. +The most irritating thing about steam irons is that they shed water through the steam holes , leaving large spots of water which then have to be dried out by the iron. +I picked up one of these as a temp blender b/c some tahini seized up in my Vitamix and I had to send it in for warranty which would put me without a blender for 2 weeks. +Plus I went to the Hamilton Beach site and it has a 2 year warrenty to fix or replace. +I gave this 3 stars since they could have easily fixed this by putting another 1/2 to 1 inch metal band around the inside of it (it's currently around 3/8 an inch or so). +I bought a second one to use with my coffee . +I was completely shocked and appalled by the phallic design of this kitchen product. +I never thought I'd love a bread pan so much. +By choice among all raw diet and the complete vegetarian, I was at a thrift store and ended up seeing this blender the elite version for under $10 how could I resist at that price, long story short +I did not buy it over Amazon but at BB&B ;, but the exact same model. +If you turn it on first, the thermometer will show the temperature of the air , then you stick it into the item and the display will slowly move to the temperature of the item. +My husband wanted one with some wood, so settled on this one. +We had a West Bend breadmaker like this one for many years. +I just started cooking with it yesterday . +The model I bought six months ago just went out to the trash after months of "bickering with Bickell." I think it worked three times and Bickell's customer service people managed to talk me out of returning it until the return date had passed. +However, if you do not want it, then you probably ought to look into cloth filters. +LOVE:uses plain old tap water , so you don't have to worry about chemicle residuemop pads are machine washable and resusable, so there's no waste and nothing to buyease of use / a real back saver, no scrubbing involvedleaves floors cleaner than regular mopping EVER didextremely light-weightmop head swivels which makes getting hard to reach places (around toilet, under furniture) +Purchased this as my first ever slow cooker. When I received it I was very disappointed to discover that the lighting in the display was broken and it would not cycle through all of the programming options. +I definitely like the feel of it too - it's weighted and so it feels substantial, yer retains its sleek look . +I recommend if you need max volume use the stand on the back it projects the sound much better that way. +This crock pot was slightly larger than what I thought it'd be , so it wasn't as easy to carry. +My slicer and boning knives don't seem to hold as well, but the steel is different and there's just less metal to contact the magnets; they don't feel like they're going to fall off when tested. +The Boos Mystery Oil made the cart look better than the day I bought it. +If I were doing a large animal it would probably take two people to cut the meat up fast enough for one person to feed it and then take another to wrap it. +the worst part is, PUR said it's not covered under warranty because it's a "wear and tear" item. +Finally the seals on the paddle shafts in the pan wore out and they got bread in them and siezed up. +There is a plastic gimmick inside the reservoir to show water level - USELESS, unless you have a flashlight handy . +So, either my taste buds are jaded or my unfiltered water is just as good as the filtered version or the filter is not designed to alter taste. +This warmer is great for me since I keep kosher and have no other way of warming up food at work. After years of eating cold food I can finally have a warm meal at work. +Since the handle is round and has no flattened areas, it tends to torque in your hands in certain cases. +Mostly i use it for boiling eggs , but it comes in handy for gravy and other types of sauces or it is perfect for homemade hot chocolate. +One warning though, don't use roasting bags with it. +The storage bag I got is different from the picture . +So much easier than trying to bang them out by turning the pan upside , which is what I have to do with my metal muffin pan. +First a negative: This unit is big and is not easy to move around or to get out of the box however it comes well packed and protected and had two heavy duty plastic ribbons around it which helped to move it in to the house. +DC26 is very light and very easy to navigate. +While the weight is a touch heavy , the suction power is good and makes up for it. +The other important item is the price, which is very reasonable . +Reduce the amount of batter from the suggested 2 cups to 1.5 cups or you'll overflow2. +It has 2 small shortcomings, however: 1) It slides around in my drawer, just like any organizer I've ever had. +It's solidly constructed and hefty without being heavy , and the high sides make grease spatters almost non-existent. +If you want to cook for two or three you might want a smaller model because this baby only works good if it is at least a third full . +I can fit about 2 # beef on the 5 trays that came with the dehydrator. +I'm surprised to read the reviews of people opening 30 bottles. +The size, shape, weight and non-stick coating were just what I wanted. +Whisper quiet , they are able to heat an average size room to the point of discomfort within a short period of time. +but I bought this simply because it is cheaper . +It's very handy in general to have an immersion blender to make pureed soups right from the pot vs transferring the blender. +The wood is beautiful and eye catching. +1.5 months after purchase. +I already have two bread pans by USA pans and needed some metal square cake pans. +I was a little concerned since this thermos is more slender than the one it was replacing. +Maybe some lemon, or juice ...mint leaves perhaps? +In fact I would be delighted to have a bath robe made out of this toweling fabric. +The only negative thing I could say about it is that it can be a little loud to use depending on the surrounding area. +It comes with its own little cleaning brush which is a plus. +I hate sweeping but enjoyed using this little vacuum . +Which means our house is filled with baking pans of every variety. +I bought these for a wedding shower gift and everyone at the shower commented on them. +The blade cover can be used to soak the sharp business end in hot soapy water to make cleaning easy. +a set of cookware , I researched and decided on this set. +Regardless, I have only had this coffee maker for just over a month and am thinking about buying a different one. +I fill it up with ice and water in the morning, and then refill it at lunch . +I like the design of the rack, it takes up a small amount of space in my cupboard, but the lids just ruin this item. +It produces VERY thin slices (not for slicing cucumbers) but makes amazing onion slices in moments (very thin and uniform great for sandwiches)I find when grating lots of cheese I have to empty the hopper as it will quickly fill and the cheese (especially softer cheeses like Colby) will clump . +I only have a few minor complaints being that it is a bit heavier and noisier than other cordless vacuums and the head is somewhat floppy. +After burning my hand through an old oven mitt at my parents house, I knew something had to be done to keep my sanity in check. +I grew up watching my mother and grandmothers use cast iron skillets so I decided to give this a try and I loved it so much that I just bought a second one. +I've been recommending this wok to my friends and family . +It is amazing that they can compress the mattress and roll it up for shipping!I bought the mattress to go with a platform bed I found on Amazon , "Atlantic Furniture Richmond Full Bed with Open Foot Rail" for a guest room. +I'm returning it because the arm that holds the roller is very crooked , as one reviewer noted, and I know that will bug me - every time I'd look at it I'd see that crooked arm. +You have to put something heavy there to hold it unless I just got a defective unit which I doubt. +I returned it and splurged on the WMF grater . +Personally, I leave the oven door open if I am going to re-use it very soon so the internal temperature cools enough to prevent the thermostat from triggering. +Second, even distilled water leaves significant deposits on the aluminum plate, even after hard boiling only 3 eggs. +a cooling rack , the bottoms hardened up within a minute or two. +First of all, I keep this handy on my glass stove top next to the pan where I have been boiling my preserved foods. +The quality is good and the design is whimsical...very cute. +It states that it is microfiber that feels like egyptian cotton. +We used the yeast raised waffle recipe that came with the waffle maker . +Update: 1/19/2011I am disappointed that the case discolored so much and the lid cracked . +When you cut the pizza, grease from the cheese soaks into the stone . +This makes firm, lasting foam that is great for latte, cappuccino and hot chocolate. +It picked up three times the moisture from the carpet than the Eureka. +It can easily fit 36 pairs of shoes , if you have really wide or large shoes it may be a little less (although other reviews say that with their wide shoes it accomodates 36). +I hand wash my lids +a vacuum we could use to sweep our extensive hard floors. +While I love a lot of OXO products, I this this one is pretty mediocre. +Thinking that I could salvage part of my investment, I then tried to sharpen two pairs of scissors . +I like the fact that they hold the work with minimum contact with it. +My only complaint about it is that it is slightly unstable . +Both are 5 star knives. +The suction is pretty good, it got up a lot of hair, but the suction of the hose is terrible. +Having the blender beater (single) means I can mix dough and beat egg whites or cream separately without cleaning anything in between. +This product would be even better if the rack prongs were spaced more closely together to prevent silverware, sippy cup filters, and other small items from falling through. +You need a brush with coarser bristles to really get the coffee out , and still, there are remnants of coffee in there that I just can't get out. +It's so thin the bottom dent ed when accidentally set on the stove top too hard- wasn't a big deal because my finger did a fine job of pushing the dent back out (yes, it's that thin!). +I found that making a half pot or more results in hotter coffee. +This was a good replacement for my chipped-white beater . +They were soft and absorbent . +I will never use this for a drink that has milk because I don't see a way to effectively clean the lid. +Needed a napkin holder for out in the patio, but having the silverware too makes it even better. +Now I only need to get the ravioli maker . +I typically used a 4 or 6 inch mattress of this type with great results in the Philippines. +There was no smell with this pillow, but I did need to remove some of the buckwheat to make it softer and more pliable. +This shower curtain has no grommets, only some cheap plastic "reinforcing". +This punch bowl has a great capacity and a wide opening. +The only problem (and I wouldn't even call it a problem.) is that they are so thick and heavy it was difficult to wrap around my head. +If you do, water seeps in between the layers of the tray and it is very difficult to recover from this. +It's my own fault for pushing the "popcorn" button on the microwave when the nordic ware instructions say not to, right?), and the lid has warped upward after repeated steaming. +8 cups might be smaller than you expect, but for my family of 5 it gets the little jobs done. +Removing the screw from the top of the pepper mill frees the knob revealing a fairly small interior (about half a spice-size jar of pepper corns). +A little basket on the side or something would be a major improvement. +My mattress expanded to 7 inches by the 3rd day. +I operate in a harsh environment and this works great so I ordered a second one just to have. +This Frazoni one, although a little thinner, is comparable to my Silpat ones, except for the Frazoni's lower price. +Listen to the reviews though, the quality is lacking quite a bit. +Update, about a year later: The enthusiastic slicer in our family has managed to knock off one of the plastic strips , but that's easy enough to work around so doesn't create a problem. +6 ) +He has used this brand in past and it lasted about 10 years . +Purchased it specifically to grind spices . +We decided we wanted to make Belgian waffles at home and the ability to turn the waffles over while baking seemed like a good idea. +Place the mini-loaf mold on top of preheated cookie sheet and bake 25-35 minutes until tops are well browned. +I feel ridiculous I didn't do this before, but after this came, we went to Walmart and I got the same thing, plus a small one, plus a medium one- all together for less than this price. +Otherwise I am thrilled to have found the filters . +The only downside so far has been that the halogen light needs a deflector ring or shield to minimize the glare while cooking. +It holds a great amount of liquid and the compartment at the bottom that actually grinds the fruit/veggies is generous. +Designed in the U.S. but manufactured in China. +If I had to do it over, I would just buy the rack, then order 18 bottles separately ( Penzey's sells ones with sturdier plastic lids for less than a buck each) and I'd put this spice rack together myself for ~the same price. +Fortunately, there are a few brands that do deliver nicely for their value, and Sharp is one of those brans. +We purchased this mold for soap making .It is a pretty mold but for those making CP soap in it I recommend you do a couple of batches of re-milled soap first just to get the "bleeding" out of the way or making red soap first few batches. +I have to agree with other buyers on this - it's an outstanding spot cleaner . +This carafe keeps coffee hot for several hours. +It isn't a bad comforter for the price but know that when on the bed, it gives a faded, very used look. +Not sure if the plastic is 'off-gassing', but there is a seriously pungent odor that comes from the bowl after being microwaved . +You can do all sorts of things with a CALPHALON NLYON TURNER (aka spatula ): flip hamburgers, scrape grease off the bottom of a skillet, turn over pancakes on the stove, make a miniature trebuchet, fling food across a room, and pretend to sword fight with someone else in the kitchen who has a plastic spoon. +I couldn't read the bottom row because the background was so dark and the right numbers wouldn't show up. +It is a small stick vacuum so for me it serves its purpose and I give it a 5 star review. +Personally I think the 1-liter bottles are the perfect size. +It has three speeds. +The other, which I bought at WalMart for around $34, was one of those old radiant heaters (a couple of feet long with wires strung back and forth) which was unacceptably loud. +Hand wash in a bowl so you don't lose any accidentally in the dishwasher or down the drain. +Absolutely the best pans I have ever owned and I have a lot of pans. Got the standard size white cups ; nothing special about them as they're just your basic white cupcake liner. -Reason I'm not giving it a favorable review: Very much dislike the fact that the packaging of these Regency liners had two airholes in the plastic wrapping (What for? -Reason I'm not giving it a favorable review: Very much dislike the fact that the packaging of these Regency liners had two airholes in the plastic wrapping (What for? -What I like best about these is the oval shape that really does fit into tight places. -Also, there is no lip between the handle and the spoon, so you can easily "sweep" a measurement of a dry ingredient flat. -Remove the chain , as it will rust easily and stain the spoons. -To begin, I was looking to protect my new mattress from sweat and body oil (not urine, rain, floods, or any of the other liquids some others seems to want to protect their mattress from, judging from the reviews). -For that, it is perfect- covers the deep mattress well, seems to be resistant to liquids seeping through, and isn't too "plastic" feeling (has a nice, thin terry cover). -I can't speak to being able to cover the mattress from bed wetting,

the fact that they're still made with pride in the USA . -Most of my prior NordicWare purchases were Bundt pans, but I've recently expanded into baking pies, so I purchased a covered pie pan. -The heavy-duty aluminum pie pan browns and bakes evenly and is a snap to wash. -I was asked to review this item, and as I do not have a cooling rack in the house, I said I would. -Now that I have used this, I wonder why I never bought one of these before...they make so much sense!I like to bake healthy muffins mad it always takes so long for them to cool. -With this new rack, they cool much after, and I am nit worried anything is going to burn .The quality seems good, and certainly at this price point it is. -I have also used this for putting a hot pan on, and it worked great. -The quality seems good , and certainly at this price point it is. -I've used mine for transporting in a back back when walking/hiking and for storing leftover wine. -The lids are air tight , never had a leak. -I've never spilled a drop either filling or pouring , not sure why some have trouble with that. -My only caution would be to make sure you have a safe place to store lids while drying, as they do resemble lids from other types of bottles and with 'helpers' around they could easily end up in the recycling or the trash ! -Highly recommend these, also a great value in the 4 -pack! -Got this one for xmas and it was damaged, but amazon return was super easy. -Got this one for xmas and it was damaged, but amazon return was super easy. -Got this one for xmas and it was damaged , but amazon

Breville daily for over four years, multiple cups a day . +I have tossed them full into backpacks before a long hike - had them bouncing around the floor of my boat in rough seas - even had them sneakily carried off by my toddler who thought she was getting the hot chocolate inside. +Purchased the Piccolo model due to price . +i send some clothing to my sister,and I used the Medium

+but you can certainly tell the difference between the real authentic original and the newer skimpy made ones and not necessarily by the 5 star or 6 star shape . +Of course I use it to fill my Ball jars even though I am more likely freezing the contents than canning them. +This replaced my first Cuisinart Smartstick which did rough duty for years before one of the blades broke on some ice (I'm not even sure you're supposed to used it on ice, but I did for years.)I use it VERY regularly. +The K Cup side is limited to 10oz per brewing, which in my house means at least 2 KC to a  4 ;real" mug

Wedgewood color ended up being more of an ocean blue and less grey than I was expecting, at least on my monitor display. +However, the square slot just to the right of it is a little too close, so the

it. +If I ever need to upgrade to a 2lb loaf, there's only one brand I'll consider. +we bought this on lightning deal for black Friday and got a great deal on it, I did see that it does not come with the screws to mount to the wall, that was no biggie, just make sure to get 3 and a half inch wood screws at the hardware shop and your set to go, we assembled this unit in less then 15 minutes, and got it up on the wall in 20 minutes = 35 minutes, this is a great concept and it does not stick out far from the wall and the openings are the perfect size . +Just hold the handle behind you as you

wok and she was right. +The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control. +But it is a fantastic design . +There should be a chart relating American rice types to the Asian types . +A broad overview on this system:*You can filter as little as one bottle of water or up to 4.*The system

goodif you have a studio apartment: goodif you want to vacuum 1000sq-ft carpeted apartment: not good +I also use it for instant oatmeal and any other water based foods. +But , for the money, it's an ok toaster but i suspect that it may not last forever like toasters of the past! +This thermos works great. +Must have 4 D batteries and I even got some spare batteries from amazon, also a good deal, in case the batteries run out. +Although 1 of the 4 pack was broken ( Amazon refunded the purchase and let me keep the other 3) they seem very rugged and have thick sidewalks. +So I came back and ordered a second set! GREAT! +I use cream which makes it thicker and honey on top I calculated the calories and it is a lot less then many store bought ones +I recently purchased this waffle maker after using a cheaper one made by a different company. +I have not been brave enough to test the whole grab a cob of corn straight out of the pot of boiling water or any of those 600 degree limit testing things OXO touts, but all in all I am happy with the purchase. +Ususally, you can only purchase it in China town .

+My husband bought this from Walmart - he wanted to get away from teflon. +I bought this last night from a brick and mortar store, I didn't want to wait for shipping . +Miracle foam pillows are too firm for my neck. +I warmed 2 frozen sausage patties in the microwave for 1 minute while machine was still heating up. +the little door in the front keeps popping back up and loses the suction . +I had this bacon cooker in the past and was satisfied with it for the price . +Well over a year's worth of solid performance doesn't seem unreasonable for $15, so although we'd be happier if it were more durable, we like the way it works otherwise and I don't see any better options so am about to just order one more. +Eureka has been a trusted name in vacuums for years !! +I was a little sceptical in how the quality of the sheet set would be , especially if I sewed it together with a matching solid color flat sheet. +NO buzzer ! +They replaced my other set that I had for almost twenty years . +The shredding/slicing disk is a nice addition and helps make the food processor a little more handy!

that last eliminating any chance of a broken pot. -It is durable, attractive, and, most importantly, stainless steel - that last eliminating any chance of a broken pot. -I have regularly used a French press to prepare coffee for many years, and this pot is the best of the lot. -it operates easily, with none of the awkwardness I have found with other inexpensive presses. -will definitely hold water inside them long enough to freeze it, so in that regard, they are wonderful. -Oh yeah, and the disgusting taste/smell is impossible to ignore or get rid of. -It takes a lot of effort to push the cubes out , and you invariably end up pushing out more than you actually wanted because it's still a big, single-piece tray. -Where it differs from the rest of the market is in the size of the cubes it produces. -After looking at many different locations we couldn't find what were looking for, we found this on Amazon and was very hesitant of ordering a large item online especially one that took a fair amount of labor (more on that later). -After looking at many different locations we couldn't find what were looking for, we found this on Amazon and was very hesitant of ordering a large item online especially one that took a fair amount of labor (more on that later). -Needless to say when it was all said and done we are very happy with it, the drawers are very useful and a good size and space for all of the components is perfect . -The best thing about it is the height, with small children in the house it is high enough that we don't worry about them touching the TV, yet still a very comfortable viewing height. -Between my wife and I it took nearly 2 hours . -Normally I like Eureka products but this one SUCKS - and I don't mean that in a good way. -At least not enough to pick up anything more than a hair or a miniscule crumb . -What a waste of money . -I'd have sent it back but the shipping fee & my time and trouble (not to mention gas to go to the post office) were not worth the effort . -My advice - use your regular vac (even tho it may be a pain to drag out) or a mop. -I looked on Amazon and found that EatSmart scales had awesome ratings. -Setting it up and calibrating was simple - put the batteries in and set it on a hard surface. -Batteries are included , by the way. -In just a second , you'll have your weight. -And it has a really low profile .Definitely made the right decision with this scale. -However, they are very stiff which makes it hard to get a good grip on things you are pulling out of the oven. -Silicon cleans up nicely and it has magnets hidden on the back so they stick to the fridge...very cool. -I have not been brave enough to test the whole grab a cob of corn straight out of the pot of boiling water or any of those 600 degree limit testing things OXO touts, but all in all I am happy with the purchase. -Silicon cleans up nicely and it has magnets hidden on the back so they stick to the fridge...very cool. -I have not been brave enough to test the whole grab a cob of corn straight out of the pot of boiling water or any of those 600 degree limit testing things OXO touts, but all in all I am happy with the purchase. -These cookie sheets seem to be extremely consistant. -I have used this many times and nothing changes . -Nothing sticks and everything on the sheet is exactly the same every time. -These cookie sheets seem to be extremely consistant . -Nothing sticks and everything on the sheet is exactly the same every time . -if I didn't have to empty the water storage container after every use . -There are three different steam intensity settings depending on an item's fabric type. -The iron is light-weight , so it is easy to handle and maneuver. -The compartment that holds the water for steaming is transparent , which allows me to predict the need to refill it, so I'll never be stuck without water in the middle of ironing. -About the same time this was a lightning deal, I also bought (on sale) a dense-foam comfort mat on sale at a big-box building store . -It has been 2 weeks of using both in the kitchen,and I like the GelPro more. -I am still debating if I like it the full it-costs- 4-times-as-much more, but the very fact that I can't make up my mind (factoring in that cost) tells me how very good the GelPro is. -If I can still say so in 6 months , then I would have to say the higher cost was justified. -About the same time this was a lightning deal , I also bought (on sale) a dense-foam comfort mat on sale at a big-box building store. -It looks real sharp, DOES NOT LEAK one drop, and it keeps my coffee REAL hot for many, many hours. -This travel mug is worth every penny. -It looks real sharp, DOES NOT LEAK one drop, and it keeps my coffee REAL hot for many, many hours . -I mainly use it in the morning to transport my coffee to work -And, just like many of the travel mugs out there, It leaked and looked cheap and flimsy. -We decided to purchase this attachment for use on the carpet . -I can not tell the difference between the two and it is too much of a hassle to stop and swap out . -We decided to purchase this attachment for use on the carpet. -After several use, I have to say that I could do without it. -So if you are considering....save yourself some money and stick with the one that came with the unit; you are not missing out on anything . -The reason I use it every day is for steel cut oats . -I bought a Zojirsuhi water boiler for my tea, and liked it so much I decided to give this rice cooker a whirl as well. -It is about the size of a toaster . -I bought a Zojirsuhi water boiler for my tea, and liked it so much I decided to give this rice cooker a whirl as well. -I set the cooker on porridge and set the timer before I go to bed. -I've owned the 3 cup, 6 cup, and when my husband constantly asked me to make another cup for him in the morning, I decided to buy the 12 cup so that I could save myself a few minutes. -The first couple of times it worked well and I was excited. -After wasting pound of coffee on testing various ways and or amounts by which I could get a more consistent result, I have given it up. -I've gone back to using my trusty old 6 cup espresso maker . -the morning , I decided to buy the 12 cup so that I could save myself a few minutes. -I needed a larger (4 cup) measuring cup in addition to my old 1 and 2-cup Pyrex cups, but this three-piece set was less expensive than 1 4-cup glass or Pyrex model. -The only question will be how well the plastic cup body stands up over time -

find that it cooks the muffins as nicely as in the oven, the bottoms tend to be rather hard and I find the muffin comes out "denser" if you will than normally. +I bought this unit because of several reviews that said it was whisper quiet . +After 2 weeks of frying a few things in it - eggs would not come out - they started sticking, badly. +Just get yourself some tongs for getting the food out of the fryer and your set. +The end that is cut . +My daughter frequently travels to Japan and wanted to enjoy the same types of rice here that she experienced in Japan. +The only thing I would suggest would be to put something on the bottom to make sure it doesn't get knocked off the counter by accident because the bottom is a little slippery and it could chip. +When the stopper to our bathtub drain finally bit the dust (with hard water hastening its demise), two trips to the home improvement store later and we still couldn't find a replacement that would fit the hole, despite measuring and remeasuring the diameter. +Stainless steel is sanitary and long lasting. +I bought the Mr. Coffee warmer to replace a homemade warmer that was better at keeping the coffee hot, but finally succumbed

monitors the air and turns up and down as needed. +I bake all of our own bread and the loaves turn out perfectly every time. +Decided on buying this drying rack after reading some reviews about wooden racks . +I bought it mostly for weighing meat portions when cooking dinner. +This unit has now been in operation 100% of the time for three years and hasn't skipped a beat or whined once. +I ordered this pillow because I was sick of the department store pillows going flat after a few months of use. +The Rowenta vacuum is wonderful for small areas. +It fits exactly how I need it to (thanks to the expandable feature ) and has a no-slip grip for cans to sit on. +I was looking for a very small spatula - more in the 6 - 8 inch long size - and couldn't find anything, so decided to try this one with

ended up serving over 60 Tequila dinks in less than 3 hours. +But I took the positive reviewers at their words and wasn't at all disappointed...this works great! +I've used this with and without oil

it in the kitchen and to weigh packages prior to mailing them. +a single cup brewer +I have bought it for all my family members who drink coffee and they all love it. +Never owned a plastic shower caddy until this one and I prefer it over the others. +This pan arrived and I was shocked - there were not enough words to described my disappointment . +This duvet feels (to me) like down , just without the stabby feathers and it's heavy enough that I don't have to use more than one electric heater while sleeping this winter night (I'm a freeze baby, though). +I think they probably know better and have done a great job. +For the price, it's pretty darn good and looks great in our bedroom supporting our flat screen :) +You can get a single small pork roast on it, but that's about it. +Well, that just creates an extra step and extra mess, and takes up extra counter space for a product that only does 2/3 of the job I need it to do. +Every kitchen should have a digital thermometer and every cook should use one. +A dutch oven can do most of that, but those are so heavy before you add food that I have avoided getting one. +It was packed with so much gunk that I could not clean with q tips . +The coffee is always weak in comparison to our other Keurig machine and it brews about half of a cup or half of the water that you place into the holding tank . +Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand. +We've only had them for a few weeks but use them very regularly and so far they're great! +Love the clear glass .

my wife is really picky, that makes this item a winner. -No question on the fully earned five stars rating. -I imagine this cassarol dish might join it in our collection of "keep it 'til we're dead" items. -Certainly the material is lighter and thinner , but I don't imagine it's any less durable than our other CorningWare item. -No question on the fully earned five stars rating. -I have one

spring for a guest bed. -The problem is that the materials themselves feel very cheap . -We used it to replace a worn box spring for a guest bed . -The wood was already chipped and appears like it won't last long (compared to a typical box spring). -If you're going to be sitting inside you might want to let the mugs warm up slightly before use to prevent too much of the beer from freezing inside. -they will freeze some of the beer to the inside of the mugs. -Have you ever noticed how the first sip of an ice cold beer is always the best? -Or have you noticed how some bars server certain beers in frosted mugs ? -I never thought I'd spend $100 for a garbage can , but alas I did not just once but twice! -I never thought I'd spend $100 for a garbage can, but alas I did not just once but twice! -Returns was easy, and new ones arrived 2 days later. -We bought 2 : one for garbage, one for recycling. -The last one which I'd replaced, in about 30 years, I believe, once, was through Sharper Image - no more can it be found anywhere unfortunately - believe me -In comes a present of this specific 3 way timer - since the onset and receipt of this - it has had issues - I've changed batteries each time thinking perhaps that was the issue. -In comes a present of this specific 3 way timer - since the onset and receipt of this - it has had issues - I've changed batteries each time

like that it has 2 short compartments instead of just 1, like most organizers. -This cutlery organizer looks great , seems very durable, and I really like that it has 2 short compartments instead of just 1, like most organizers. -It has 2 small shortcomings, however: 1) It slides around in my drawer, just like any organizer I've ever had. -The dividers have small gaps in places, which results in the knives occasionally sliding into the adjoining compartment. -The dividers have small gaps in places, which results in the knives occasionally sliding into the adjoining compartment . -I came across this Hario Coffee Mill here on Amazon and it was exactly what I had been looking for. -I came across this Hario Coffee Mill here on Amazon -I'm delighted with this coffee grinder and will be ordering a few more for gifts. -It grinds smooth and quiet (unlike an electric grinder in early morning hours). -It's well made and grinds much like coffee flakes ~ how good coffee was ground years ago before auto-drip crushed grounds became the standard. -These are simple to use - you need to flush them with about 1 gallon or 4 liters of water to activate all the filter area. -Once done, each filter in the 2 pack will filter 40 gallons / 151L of water. -These are simple to use - you need to flush them with about 1 gallon or 4 liters of water to activate all the filter area. -The screen you see near the top is to keep the carbon inside the filter and not let it float out into the unfiltered water section. -Made in switzerland the quality is top notch. -I like the bright colors . -The handles are sturdy enough not to bend when measuring brown sugar or other "heavy" ingredients. -They handle the dishwasher just fine . -These are a happy addition to my kitchen . -They handle the dishwasher just fine. -After years of hearing how necessary a stand mixer is we took the plunge. -The 5 quart bowl seems a bit small ( we have double convection ovens so double cookie batches are the norm) and, with cookie and cake dough, there seems to be a dry residue at the bottom of the bowl. -Yesterday we used it to start pizza dough ....that was terrific. -This mixer is a good bread dough device but a good hand mixer is still preferred for many batters. -Over the years I have become a fan of most America's Test Kitchen recommendation and a fan of this pan I am. -I purchased this pan as a 'tester', as I had suffered way too many disappointments in previous cookie sheet purchases (even the air-bake pans disappointed me). -I purchased this pan as a 'tester', as I had suffered way too many disappointments in previous cookie sheet purchases (even the air-bake pans disappointed me). -Two sides of this pan are raised which makes it so easy to pick-up while the other sides are flat

out of the way from all of the other items in the closet, extending only a few inches from the door, but very accessible when time to use them. -Quieter than our Dyson and our Bissell .Has very good suction. -a tube extension (it only comes with one that's about 2 feet long) so reaching higher spots it a challenge. +after having owned a Calphalon contemporary non-stick set for 8 years with non-stick coating peeling off (ugh...health hazard??), it was time to replace with new pieces. +The cool thing is that it really insulates the room nicely it keeps my sleep area cool and it prevents my living area from getting cold +So, we have to keep it plugged in for it to be available when we need it. +This coffee maker has gradually lost it's ability to work from day one . +And I like how it's easy to clean and made of durable tempered glass that can hold up to 11 pounds. +I have to admit that I was really quite surprised when I received them as these really are very high quality pieces. +It's so convenient to store with the airtight cap . +Perhaps I should have read more carefully, but this is definitely a SHOULDER bad. +The temps options are selectable between 300, 325, 350, to 375 max. +Take up little space and are light but also break easily with little pressure . +(This was also true of the Henckels knife block, part of my personal set.)The reason I rated the set 4-Stars was that the handles, poly(whatever), did not fit my hand as comfortably as my Henckels 4-Star set . +I didn't hang it on the back of a door I actually mounted it to a wall in three separate sections. +They hold a lot, are sturdy and comfortable to carry . +Just pour in milk and twist the knob for foam , anyone can do it. +This tablecloth is 70" in diameter which is perfect for our table at 48" diameter. +Ended up having to replace the refrigerator with one that is designed to work in a colder environment (a garage refrigerator) and now I can make sure the new one is working properly. +It's also overpriced for so much plastic .The rack assembles very easily since there isn't much to it. +It makes both good espresso and good coffee and the milk steamer works very well . +With that being said, it doesn't take long to get these put together and the cable management is really good , you're basically running cable through the base of the speaker stand and out the bottom... +I do have one minor complaint, there was a sticker on the inside of the scoop itself that must have been applied with super glue or something because I had to soak it for almost 45 mins just to get the darn thing off. +Lids go in the rack, rack goes in the water, and then you can use your magnetic wand to pull the lids out of the rack and drop them onto the jars - you never touch the lid and it goes on to the jar completely clean. +Containers are solid and glass and are quality items. +And, unlike my oldBISSELL Steam Mop Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner, 31N1, this Steamfast model doesn't require a water filter in order to work! +I will be ordering another one in the future because there are times I become extra clumsy . +a little cutting board .The vent is especially handy when the bread is out of the bread machine, as even after cooling on a rack, the bread keeper need to vent out the moisture and heat. +It fits nicely in a microwave .The worst thing is it is flimsy. +Perfect for spaghetti eis, a dessert I had in Germany . +I deep fry and the oil is expensive so I reuse it but it needs to be strained. +They are also one of the top ranked towel products if you search on Amazon in Home and Kitchen under bath towels and sort by stars, which is what I did to find them in the first place. +The two things I find mildly annoying:1) When turning the fan off while it is oscillating, it stops at whichever position it was oscillating at. While it's not a big deal, it drives me crazy, because I like it to be straight and aligned with the base while not in use, and if you turn it off at random, the top part may be pointing off the base to either side. I cannot recommend using this on wood floors . -Wish it came with a tube extension (it only comes with one that's about 2 feet long) -I love this kitchen scale ! -We also use this scale to weigh our mail so we know how much postage to put on it. -Great features of this scale:-It's light-weight and small , so it is easy to store.-It's battery powered.-It has a "tare" function, so you can put a bowl on the scale and then "zero it out" and weigh the food that you then put in the bowl. -Great features of this scale:-It's light-weight and small, so it is easy to store.-It's battery powered .-It has a "tare" function, so you can put a bowl on the scale and then "zero it out" and weigh the food that you then put in the bowl. -Strong suction, light enough to carry around with one hand, and I vacuumed the main level of my house literally in 5 minutes ! -a light vacuum to use that would be quick to get the job done. -My husband put a strap on it too -I can wear it on my shoulder . -I think these scissors are OK for the price( $20 July 2013). -I think these scissors are OK for the price($20 July 2013 ). -I think these scissors are OK for the price($20 July 2013). -If you want real high quality kitchen "shears" I would recommend Cutco shears , now those really are high quality, but of course it cost a lot more than this. -Any size cookbook you're likely to own, can safely, be easily be held open by this 'pop-up' holder .My cookbook holder has been used for everything from a recipe scribbled on the back of an envelope,to three inch thick hard-cover books, and yes even 3 ring binder style. -My cookbook holder has been used for everything from a recipe scribbled on the back of an envelope,to three inch thick hard-cover books, and yes even 3 ring binder style. -This OXO holder does a perfect job of holding and protecting them all. -Of the several styles of book holders I've tried over the yearsthis Good-Grip's is my favorite so far. -I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars. -I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars .Make sure you read the instructions carefully. -The lights weigh about 15 to 16 ounces and I used them in 2 windows from 4 to 5 feet in length. -I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars. -I've been buying griddles here and there wasting my money until I ran across this. -It fits across 2 gas burners and works to perfection for pancakes. -It fits across 2 gas burners and works to perfection for pancakes . -I've been buying griddles here and there wasting my money until I ran across this. -Bought this oven several months ago after our old NuWave gave up the ghost. -The only downside so far has been that the halogen light needs a deflector ring or shield to minimize the glare while cooking. -We've used it primarily for cooking meats and it has worked really well. -Bought this oven several months ago after our old NuWave gave up the ghost. -We like this design much more than the plastic NuWave we had whose hood we had to replace after it cracked a year or so after we bought it. -My housekeeper and I fight over this knife. -I have tons of Wusthof knives, they're really wonderful and I've had them for years and years. -I bought this knife on a whim, since I've been more of a fan of Cook's knives in the past. -I sharpen this knife with my chef's choice sharpener and have seen no damage to the egde or hollows. -I have tons of Wusthof knives , they're really wonderful and I've had them for years and years. -I never use wooden spoons anymore and anything I have that is silicone, is heat resistant. -I was a big fan of these when they first came out and used one of them constantly. -This one has quite a bit of squishy silicone near the tip that just bends when you try to mix something. -The other one had the stiffening center core product that was closer to the end of the silicone so that it was more usable when mixing something. -The color, straight out of the bag and on its own is very ... brown, and bears an unfortunate resemblence to the stuff that we have to pick up after the dogs - so this would not have been my first choice in that regard. -But - against all that, there are several qualities to recommend this sheet set . -The color , straight out of the bag and on its own is very ... brown, and bears an unfortunate resemblence to the stuff that we have to pick up after the dogs - so this would not have been my first choice in that regard. -With luck and repeated washing, perhaps they will fade to a soft camel-color , which I would not mind in the least. -I like everything about this digital oven thermometer except the plastic coated cord on the probe . -Unfortunately, the probe is the one thing Polder doesn't warranty. -I liked the features of this unit so much that I ordered 2 new probes from another company since Amazon doesn't carry the probe for this unit (at least I couldn't find it on their site). -I like everything about this digital oven thermometer except the plastic coated cord on the probe. -My other infuser is a plasticy mesh that lets no leaves through. -It is stainless steel with punched holes that allow small tea particles into the cup. -It is stainless steel with punched holes that allow small tea particles into the cup. -The lid covers nicely while steeping and provides a good place to sit the wet leaves- it has an inner ring that keeps the liquid from flowing out as the leaves drain. -It takes more time to clean than the mesh style.I purchased this because I thought it would last forever (ForLife), but I noticed a gash in it, in the perforated section, not long after I got it. -i like using a steamer on hardwood floors as it really cleans them without using chemicals . -i don't like using vinegar and water either as i think it leaves the floors looking dull. this steamer works, but there are better ones out there. -i wouldn't put them in the dryer because if they shrink , they are not going to fit. -i prefer some of the newer designed shark steamers over this one. -i prefer some of the newer designed shark steamers over this one. -I really like this griddle because I like the cooking space, BUT the griddle cooks unevenly. I'm not sure if this will go away over time. -It still cooks all the way through but I really wish it was more even. -It heats to temperature quickly . -The griddle does a good job of not letting food stick and I really like the tilt n' drain function. -The griddle does a good job of not letting food stick and I really like the tilt n' drain function. -Simply bolt it to your counter top using the included clip, adjust the knob to desired thickness and feed in your dough using the hand crank, progressively adjusting to the knob to make the dough thinner each time you send it through. -Simply bolt it to your counter top using the included clip, adjust the knob to desired thickness and feed in your dough using the hand crank, progressively adjusting to the knob to make the dough thinner each time you send it through. -It's really that easy to use .Cleaning is pretty easy as well. Simply rub off any excess flour using a damp cloth and take a damp paper towel and feed it through each of the dough and pasta attachments using the hand crack. -Once thin enough, throw on your pasta attachment to select the type of pasta you want- either spaghetti or fettuccine and feed the dough through using the hand crank- and presto! -Cleaning is pretty easy as well. -I have a 12-ounce original "This is Not a Paper Cup" that I've used for quite a while, and wanted a slightly larger similar version. -As they say, this one is single walled, so not much on the thermal insulation. -As they say, this one is single walled, so not much on the thermal insulation. -As of today, I can vouch for the sturdiness - I knocked it off the countertop , and it hit the un-carpeted floor with a thud, but had no damage. -The lid is the same size as my other one, which makes it convenient. As of today, I can vouch for the sturdiness - I knocked it off the countertop, and it hit the un-carpeted floor with a thud, but had no damage. -I received my Reconditioned Waring Juice Extractor today. -I've wanted to have a juicer for a long time, but was discouraged becasue of the prices . -Assembly takes about 30 seconds . -There are basically 6 parts to this thing. -The peeler does have a serrated edges, so be careful. -(Might peel them first!!)I ran them over medium water for a couple of seconds. -The glass is a little on the thin side, but then, so is my drip maker carafe. -I only have a blade grinder, so my ground aren't uniformly course... -The glass is a little on the thin side, but then, so is my drip maker carafe. The plunger seems to work fine, but we'll have to see how it holds up under long term usage. -a larger capacity . -These shelves are about average for this type of shelves. -What worked for me was to install the two bottom shelves , including the boards, being careful to seat the side and end rail rivets securely in the slots using a 12" 2x4 or mallet. -Then install the mid-point shelf brackets in the top hole for each leg and go ahead and add the board. -Then you can slip the top leg half in by tilting the top end inwards and sliding onto the top rivet then straightening. -I bought these to use instead of paper plates . -They're so much lighter that it's not a big deal to wash out and plop into the drainer. -I like these so much I think I'll get some bowls too. -Since its just the two of us -a sponge holder to place a plastic one which was really gross even though I scrubbed it weekly. -I lightly scrubbed the area and wiped it clean , the suction cup has been there for the last three weeks with no problems! -I recently renovated my kitchen so needed a sponge holder to place a plastic one which was really gross even though I scrubbed it weekly. -I'd recommend this for anyone with a stainless steel sink who wants a simple holder that is small and unobstrusive . -The more recent ones have better stitching than the earlier ones I bought. -Some might think the material is too thin . -They give me such comfort for my body and soul . -They come out of the dryer very soft and about as crease-free as can be. -on Amazon . -Absolutely NO tools required - only about five minutes . -This unit is absolutely true to the size stated in the description; shiny chrome finish, and a snap (literally) to put together. -Shelves are easily adjustable , and the unit has self-leveling feet so if your floor (or wherever you place this) is uneven, you can easily fix the shelf for stability. -Furthermore, the dry spoons are superior to my old set because they are specifically designed to fit the mouth of a small jar , which my old round spoons often failed to accomplish. -The magnetic attachment of the spoons is a nice touch, too, although I'm sometimes bemused to find one of the spoons stuck on another utensil. -If I needed a teaspoon of something dry after measuring out a teaspoon of something liquid, I had to stop and dry the spoon before using . -Furthermore, the dry spoons are superior to my old set because they are specifically designed to fit the mouth of a small jar, which my old round spoons often failed to accomplish. -Namely Black and Decker, Panasonic, and whatever brand makes the Shark . -The most irritating thing about steam irons is that they shed water through the steam holes , leaving large spots of water which then have to be dried out by the iron. -I will now give away my other irons to my daughters . -The only weakness in this iron is the temperature setting control , which has no indicators on it as to heat level so you kind of have to experiment with it and not turn it too hot. -I have purchased three different brands of steam iron over the last two years. -I have the larger Sanyo electric grill and it is great, just a little too big for my kitchen counter. -I like the design of the grilling surface better than the design of the bigger unit (deeper grooves, and a good lip around the edge). -My first try was a T-Bone steak , and it was great!After the food is done, I turn the heat control off. -I like the water tray that is black instead of aluminum in color, and it is easier to remove and pour the little amount of water out ( 1/2 cup of water is used to keep the smoke down).My cooking routine is to set it up, pour a 1/2 cup water into the tray, spray a little canola oil on the grill, turn the control up to high to pre-heat for about 3 minutes, then slap the seasoned steak, burger, chicken, ribs, etc. on the grill. -I like the water tray that is black instead of aluminum in color, and it is easier to remove and pour the little amount of water out (1/2 cup of water is used to keep the smoke down).My cooking routine is to set it up, pour a 1/2 cup water into the tray, spray a little canola oil on the grill, turn the control up to high to pre-heat for about 3 minutes, then slap the seasoned steak, burger, chicken, ribs, etc. -This company sent me this by mistake, I had ordered an espresso machine , anyways they let me keep it at no charge. -But my kids hooked it up and made me tea, I am a big green tea drinker- -well it boils water so fast that it only takes like two minutes for water hot enough for green tea. -Also the owner of the company, Karl - he was great about the whole thing, he was so helpful and even though I was totally rude about the mistake he remained professional and apologetic and really fixed everything. -I have filled all the four that I ordered originally and am going back to order four more. -They are pretty sturdy and I feel confident placing heavier objects in them . -I like the clear sides of course, and the latches seemed to be snug and secure. -Amazon has a gazillion of these in various sizes, and it beats having to go to the store and wrestle them home. -Amazon has a gazillion of these in various sizes, and it beats having to go to the store and wrestle them home. -I bought this crock pot for my wife when I saw the TV commercial with the locking lid. -It's really convenient for taking hot dishes to work or other events . -You need to be careful to seat the lid just right before you latch it . -The lid has a nice seal that should prevent leakage when it's latched. -The lid has a nice seal that should prevent leakage when it's latched. -I use these knives all the time, they stay sharp for a long time and I really abuse my kitchen utensils from all the use they get. -I use these knives all the time, they stay sharp for a long time and I really abuse my kitchen utensils from all the use they get. +I used this on my Thanksgiving turkey and it was right on the money. +It cooks any meat within 5 minutes, perfectly every time. +My two complaints after several years of use: the opener has never really held a charge ... after a bottle or two it's done. +Long cord, easy to fill with water, steam in 30-seconds, two levels of steam, even distribution of steam, light weight, no hand pumping, swivel head for tight spots, pad attaches easily. +Because the can has a lip at the top that holds the bag securely without having to use any special retaining devises. +But you're probably not going to put this next to your "nice" furniture . +Save your box and receipt , so you can return it if needed. +In addition to the obvious product flaw, this waffle maker gets extremely hot steam (burn worthy) that pours forth from where the handle attaches between the iron plates. The iron plates get hotter in the middle and so the waffles don't cook evenly. +We bought 2 : one for garbage, one for recycling. +You can't tell from the picture, but this item looks quite elegant, as if it were made of fairly high quality porcelin, but it's made of CorningWare which along with Pyrex always gets top marks from me. +If you don't use it for 4-5 days , the charge depletes! +Within a matter of months, the cutters went dull (my diagnosis). +It looks great in my living room with my black leather furniture and my black curtain panels. +I read how it cleaned rugs well and broke often so I bought it. +Others have had size problems, but these fit the Shark XL which has the larger head. +This is not a well-designed hook or key holder, and it's not really cute enough to be this impractical either, so it gets 2 stars. +Huge Pro - Super easy to spray bread evenly. +I use this for homebrewing after reviewing several thermometers out there. +The only this has going for it is that the print is cute , the print that's only on one side that is... +Yep, I am more than pleased with this digital scale . +Just need to put the two pieces together and fill with water from the little holes in the top. +Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present, decided to spend the extra money (cause my sweetie is worth more than just a snuggie) and I'm really glad I did. +I just received my 7qt Lodge cast iron dutch oven this morning, and it is big and beautiful. +I own four indoor cats, so believe me when I tell you this steam mop works wonders. +The dough is very wet , so it goes through the holes quickly and gets sliced off by the square box, and right into the boiling water or broth they go. +It looks great sitting out on my counter where it is always left out. +Although 1 of the 4 pack was broken (Amazon refunded the purchase and let me keep the other 3) they seem very rugged and have thick sidewalks. +I get 3 perfect cups of pu-erh tea. +I make my own fresh pickles and pickled ginger, so wanted something that would withstand the corrosion from the vinegar that eats up the metal lids and rusts them to the bottles . +I made sausage and cheese egg muffins in the OvenArt muffin pan to fully test the baking cups ability to cook evenly, be nonsticking, and come out clean. +No heat in the kitchen, like my gas stove, Florida where I live, is hot and the central air eats a lot of electricity, this cooktop uses less than 12 cents of electricity for hour, and does not heat my kitchen at all. +I agree with other reviewers that the lids are very fragile. +However if you don't have pets who jump up on the table and want a basic tablecloth you can wipe clean this will work. +The rack was bent in two places at the top . +When moving the mattress around it's awkward and heavy , so if you plan on moving soon or you like to rearrange furniture often, keep that in mind; this also pertains to the packaging - it's too large for your standard car. +With this model you can easily input the exact amount of time you want without having to scroll thru a lot of numbers. +The main thing, though, is that it has cut down on the dust in the room and accumulating on the furniture tremendously. +No strings or ravels were found. For a large person, you might want to consider the next towel size up. +I bought the wrong size but I then purchased the smaller ones. +My only complaint is the small size of the cups , and I about never use the saucers, but that's a matter of taste, and there are other sets available. +but I did it myself and did not have any problems for it is very straightforward for there are many plastic spacers that are split in half that go around the pole that when the shelf is slid through the polls it locks the shelves in place and you just have to make sure you have each spacer in the proper place because the shelves can be adjusted at about an inch in height in increments so you can have some shelves that are closer together than others. +The vent is especially handy when the bread is out of the bread machine , as even after cooling on a rack, the bread keeper need to vent out the moisture and heat. +I have successfully dropped these glasses in the sink several times and not a single scratch has came about. +Grommets, hangers and rod are all stain/rust free and the curtains are doing the job they were designed to do. +I don't even use the measuring cups/spoons . +My only complaint is what it seems all overs have griped about too, the cord is very short . +First bought a Dansk one from crate and barrel , but the pepper compartment was tiny, so returned that. +As stated, if you use them properly they will last a very long time . +A neighbor recommended this product; I also researched other sites and am very pleased that Amazon carried the model I wanted. +I bought the 12.5 inch and using my gas grill and flax seed oil, put a non stick surface on the skillet that was the color of light carbon and tough. +The first week I had this one, I couldn't read the bottom row because the background was so dark and the right numbers wouldn't show up. +The room does not have the best circulation, and in the middle of the summer (hot and humid days) it got really damp feeling in there. +The entire back of my condo has sliding glass doors rather than regular windows and since the master bedroom is at back +This Timolino was backed by very credible experts, yet it is NOT a TRAVELING tumbler, as they claim it to be. +The humidifier is easy to clean and has no 90 degree angles that are impossible to clean with a q-tip. +It is not too heavy, so it is easy to use on stairs and you hardly even know it is following you when it rolls behind you. +Last night I dropped one of these on the floor while I was in a standing position and it did not shatter or even crack . +I didn't notice when I signed the lease on my new apartment that there was no plug in the bathtub drain . +We have enjoyed using these pieces daily .Our +My only grouse is that the cord is ridiculously (as in open to ridicule) short . +The color is a little darker than I was looking for and it's thinner than I thought it would be. +By the way these are heavy mainly because of the wonderful stainless steel base, some people don't like that +I would much rather have two metal mills ! +The flimsy construction made set up a nightmare. +I purchased this pan at Macy's, and love it so much that I have put a second one on my Amazon Wish List (about $3 less than Macy's).The non-stick surface works like a charm - with just a little bit of greasing ahead of time, nothing sticks. +The carafe holds temperature well and - and you'l appreciate this after drippy conventional carafes - it doesn't drip . +The teflon coated worm screws into the cork with almost no effort. +Have to use the knobs to change speeds manually. +I've used plastic ones and the handles generally snap. +the cages are much sturdier than i imagined they would be. They feel good in my hand and are well worth the price. -Good quality and excellent pricing. -They feel good in my hand and are well worth the price .I buy U.S. made products every chance I get. -Sturdy, functional, effective and made in the USA . -Sturdy, functional, effective and made in the USA. -The dough that squeezed out actually baked on the stone and was like eating crust when I tried a little taste (not too bad, actually).With the bread completely baked, the lid slid off with no problem even though it was under a bit of pressure from my overloading. -I just sprayed a little PAM in the pan and lid for for greasing. -The only down side is that when they come out of the dryer, they appear wrinkled . -They also give you 4 pillowcases (I only need 2) but that's a nice touch. -I ordered them for a full-size bed. -These sheets are made of good, heavy fabric . -The joint between the stem and the glass is the weakest part, and twisting will put too much torque on this point. -I've since learned the trick to not breaking them is to avoid twisting the stem/base while drying the glass. -These glasses will make it clear to your guests that you're pouring the good stuff!I purchased this set of two glasses to replace two that I broke. -The joint between the stem and the glass is the weakest part, and twisting will put too much torque on this point. -Consider the uses you intend to put it to before purchasing and check the one- and two-star reviews . -Yes, there's a nozzle attachment for those uses but the suction is so low that it's worthless. -To sum them all up, this vacuum is hard to maneuver and absolutely will not get into or under small places because the nozzle is too wide and too high . -I agree with several of the other complaints (poor suction, blows dust, cord doesn't stay wrapped even if you use the cord clip ) -I bought this hand-held vac because of the good reviews (should have read the one-star's) and I just sold it in a garage sale. -Just stepping into the empty tub to install by lightly wetting the suction cups and applying pressure it would not stick. -Then we removed the Deep Water Bath from the hot soak and shook it off. -It does say to take it off each time and rinse with cool water - to avoid mold. -You can also throw it in with the wash every now and then. -It only says to work your way around the device pressing suctions in a row . -I picked up one of these as a temp blender b/c some tahini seized up in my Vitamix and I had to send it in for warranty which would put me without a blender for 2 weeks. +After rubbing against my bed frame for a few months , the fabric wore down and tore! +When our can opener broke, I hopped on Amazon to look for a new one. +The "spout" at the top is wide not a typical straw . +Not only do these BedVoyage sheets look great but the super soft feel is fabulous! +Lighter-weight books are OK, too, but unless it's a book that stays flat and open on its own, both hands are necessary to keep those books open. +But it's from China , so only time will tell if that's true. +2 cats, plus a wife with long curly hair, means a lot of hair, fur, and litter tracked around, and Roomba takes care of it all without a complaint. +This review was written by my wife .Leifheit's Vario Cutting Board is a welcome addition to my kitchen. +Long enough to reach the deepest pots and don't get too hot to hold due to being hollow . +Like many products in the USA, they are made in China , they look just like in the picture. +The markings on the blade are very helpful and the nice thick handle makes it easy to use. +My cupcakes cooked evenly and were super easy to pop out by using my fingers to push the bottom of each muffin cup . +The water boiled quickly and efficiently . +As a result, you get about two tablespoons or so of water if you dump directly to your plate . +The concept is simple -- a cutting board with interchangeable surfaces so that there is no cross contamination from various foods. +So I decided it was time to be a grown-up and buy one that cost more but would last longer. +When I received this set, I was surprised to learn that the manufacturer does not recommend using them on ceramic or glass top stoves. +This little personal hot water maker is just what I tea drinker like me needed. +Granted these are not the most expensive out there, but they are Made in Germany , and the reviews spoke of it being solid, and had durability and some weight. +I had registered the vacuum with Hoover when I received it +I seriously expected this to be of better quality given Kyocera 's +It's nice to hold onto, very comfortable, nice long electrical cord. +So the pan has a tendency to tip over when empty . +One reason Lodge pre-seasoned products are higher is becasue they are supposed to be pre-seasoned and ready for immediate use. +I have called them to order spare parts for my rice cookers, and to order a spare pan for this bread machine in case I ever need it. +Our youngest has had many accidents on it +Old times will always know him as a great fighter , but generations to come will know him as the guy who's name is on this incredible kitchen device. +There is going to be more blending happening at my house! +I got this shower curtain to match my Audrey's Garden accessories that I bought on clearance at BBB several years ago. +Plus we have dogs and I have to put them where the dogs can't get to them. +Fist off, there is a paper ad under the plastic where it sucks up the water , you might want to remove that ;)My mom used to swear by those carpet cleaners you rent from the super market. +The queen fit is just right for our high bed and does not drag on the floor. +Finding them locally would have been a hassle. +I love the removable crumb catcher! And for us, the slices are even and the size is fine. +I set my brew to the smallest cup and make a double and I am off to the races (if like me you race around a desk and files and co-workers). +It is a very modern take on a fruit bowl, but it functions very well as one. +I still have pieces from all the other sets but a recent Earthquake caused the shelf they were on to crash breaking several of the bowls, so we bought this set which has all the smaller bowls (our largest bowl is intact and gets used daily even though it is over 40 years old.) +I buy Dial antibacterial hand soap in large eco-friendly refill bags (Dial Eco-Smart Pomegranate & Tangerine Antibacterial Moisturizer Hand Soap Refill) and pour it into this dispenser, using it as a soap dispenser in my home bathroom. +It is cute too, washes easily, Dip-It cleans the residue that accumulates over time. +But after about 6 months or so, the bottom half of the two-piece handles came unglued, one by one, rendering them useless. +This griddle pan is aesthetically beautiful . +After burning my hand through an old oven mitt at my parents house , I knew something had to be done to keep my sanity in check. +I just trim the ends off of each clove and roll it around briefly in the tube. +and although I have a huge walk in closet , I also have a lot of clothes and shoes. +Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant? +a childs use. +Let's face it, if you want to be healthy, a proper diet is essential and cannot be overlooked. +Just received the Progressive International Powdered Sugar Keeper and am so glad I did! +It isn't for the TV room unless you like loud TV!! +A couple of small dings: It does take up a bit of counter real estate, and cleanup is not all that easy. But fortunately most of the parts are dishwasher safe. +It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord . +The shorter, wider design of the Bodum makes it easier to get the coffee grounds in and out, and it's not tippy like the Frieling. +I saw this same brand and same overall design type at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for $39.99, but I got this for approximatly $20 on Amazon. +Still need to use a lot of strength to squeeze the potatoes through as well as doing it in many batches for 2.5 lbs potatoes. +Just the right size, fairly thick plastic, and although there was a rubber smell for 1 or 2 days the odor went away. +I have a 50" plasma TV that weighs about 60 pounds on it and it holds it perfectly. +The Aladdin 32-Ounce Collapsible Steamer functions just as it's advertised. +I'm planning to purchase more for my children's twin beds. +Sturdy built, three settings for the size of holes the mashed/riced product goes through, disassembles for thorough washing, reassembles easily without the directions. +My previous pressure cooker was a complex affair with springs and components tucked away in plastic housing so that they could not be accessed. +Construction is really sturdy and they are suitable for whatever stove top surface you have according to the packaging. +And the recipes included with the cookie press are very heavy on butter - 3 or 4 sticks for each batch! - which makes them taste more like shortbread cookies to me (not my favorite and more expensive to bake). +But I would suggest putting it on top of a tray while filling and transferring to the freezer +It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. +Amazon 's is priced about $20 less than in most stores; we bought our first Rowenta, same model and make, at a store in NYC for $100. +They tip and the plastic breaks or cracks . +I got this kit because I really wanted to make Mozzarella and then make Ricotta with the leftover whey . +Secondly, contrary to previous poster, we need to set it at five to get toasted browned bread . +Not industrial strength and no deluxe bells and whistles, but definitely gets the job done for basic home use . +I have electronic stove. +Received this 1 hour ago and does not work in my house and had spent 200.00 for assistance to try to fit my windows, very disappointed that this has happen. +It's also something that will probably last decades with proper care. +The adjustable gears work fine. +I haven't used it much at all in the last month and a half that I've owned it. +If they had included a recipe guide or any kind of instructions for cooking this would be five stars. +I worried about fire hazard . +I've owned two, both less than a year old . +You can only make one cup at a time, and each time, you have to WAIT for the water to heat up in it! +If I had any complaints, it's that the clips for the lid get in the way a bit if you use pot holders to try and remove the crock while it's still hot , but it's not enough of a complaint to lower my rating. +It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. +When you buy the pre-formed 1/4 lb patties in the supermarket, that come in the poly-sleeve, they are 5 inches in diameter . +Fot extra security I put a screw in the wall hanging hole in my speaker housing and secured it to the back support brack with a flat washer and nut . +Tastes good . +Yeah sure, Hepa filter microns microbes blah blah, but it's the *carbon* filter (aka the Honeywell 38002 Enviracare Universal Replacement Pre-Filter) that keeps the house from smelling like a Bullitt County bingo hall . +I drink coffee every morning and usually I make it for the week (I am not a connoisseur) and refrigerate it. +It is heavy , so may be a little clumsier to pour than lighter ones. +On the whole, a disappointment . +It's great that it comes with filters (we use each filter twice). +Visitors to my kitchen spot this pan and often ask what I use it to do. +My main complaint is that the fan speed selector has tiny lights on it that , in a way similar to xmas "chasing" lights, appear to spin at various speeds. +I own this pan in the 8" and just love it. +In the last three years, I have just been struggling with the water pump , but I did not replace it because it is an expensive unit. +The color that I chose was amazing , and I believe it's a MUST for every family to have. +It can easily hold two large loads if you use hangers and pins (and maybe three if you are very organized or have smaller items ). +Okay, I have spilled the bucket a few times when I pulled it out--find it a bit awkward to handle--but at least the appliance turns off if I forget to empty it. +ATK recommends that you get to know your cooker and I am beginning to know this Fissler . +This Mortar and Pestle is a great lil accent to my baking toolbox, its weight is just perfect .. I have so far used it for pecans, (for pecan encrusted chicken) and sea salt for my artisian bread, and lavendar from the garden.. too many uses, great gadget!!! +The next problem is the instructions are not very clear and the photos are pretty poor . +I bought this to use for making jam . +We have now been sleeping on these beds for 2 and a half months . +I tell everyone about this little inexpensive vacuum and they have bought it with the same results. +Since I bought the Breville , I use the traditional oven as extra storage for pots and pans. +It will be used for straining seeds out of fresh squeezed lemon/lime juices, pulp from making almond milk , and for any of the smaller jobs that don't require a larger strainer. +I don't think the design is that great and I'm not into the white color. +We have a 700 square foot finished basement which is heated by both forced hot air from the propane furnace and an 8 foot baseboard heater .The baseboard heater is extremely expensive to run in the winter. +Expensive, but a very good quality product. +The Henckle's feels just as sharp and easily passes the paper test. +We followed the instructions, and the waffles were crispy outside and nice inside. +My brother loves making s'mores in the microwave, so I bought him this as a Christmas present. +This is a great little vacuum . +I've owned the Lasko tower fan with remote control for nearly four years now. +I wanted to use these containers for flour , but I need a cup at a time. +After using lesser juicers for a couple of years (you can see my reviews of them on amazon ) I saw this machine at a store and bought it from amazon. +just to add on to all the good reviews this is a fantastic dutch oven I kicked it off by seasoning it again because yes people the seasoning is not stellar mine actually looked grey a bit still so in the oven it went but after that little time killer the fun began I made a roasted chicken with lemon rosemary and onion with garlic it was amazing how well this thing cooked it, literally so juicy and tender it fell off the bone.. +I found this product which my husband liked, too because of the oven feature! +Olive oil comes out In a perfect stream and after using , no drips down the sides, because of the design of bottle .I like that it is opaque, and I feel it does keep the olive oil fresher. +Finally, the highly polished finish shows every mark or smudge. +Only one T-bone can fit on this grill at a time...or two chicken pieces. +However it does get everything but very dark and old stains out perfectly well. +It is glass with a metal twist on/off top, made in Mexico. +I'm going to take the leap and spend the big bucks for a five burner induction cooktop. +Pros:+ Blade incredibly sharp+ Sheath is solid wood+ Sheath f its blade like a glove+ Knife is light weightCons:- Handle is slightly rough- +After three hours in a hot car, the water is still pleasantly cool. +Her first comment is it is a red finish like on a car. I asked do you mind it. +My fingers aren't as reliable as they used to be and I have already dropped a couple of these and they didn't break when they hit the floor . +I returned the grinder for that reason. +Replacement filters are relatively expensive at $ 42.00 . +Best part about this kettle is that water only comes in contact with the stainless . +The dividers have small gaps in places, which results in the knives occasionally sliding into the adjoining compartment . +The entire thing is welded steel , so there's nothing plastic to bend or break on it. +Maybe its friction, or a lack of it, but it seems every morning I'd wake up on bare mattress , and have to redo 2 or more corners of my fitted sheets. +These were just what I needed!I have a TOUCH of OCD, and ever since Pinterest came into my life I have been trying to figure out how to make my spices look less trashy. +I've bought Oxo Good Grips before and was very satisfied so I checked to see if they had something that would solve my problem and came across this. +The handle is perfectly shaped, easy to grip, and feels so good in my hand. +I had a fountain I wanted to run ten hours, but the fountain lights , on a separate cord, I just wanted to run two hours, but part of the ten hours, such as the last two hours. +It comes with this AWESOME extra thomas themed tupperware type container with two sections AND it also has a "secret" compartment in the front of the lunchbox. +And if you live in an old house and just cannot get rid of those pantry moths no matter what you try - these are impervious to the moths finding a way in (thus the successful storage of the flour and sugar). +The plastic on all parts didn't want to bend cleanly, making it a bit fussy to assemble each piece. +I use my grandmother's method of taking care of the grill -- let it cool completely (NEVER put hot cast iron in water, it cracks and gets little holes in it); coat with coarse salt, scrub with a paper towel, rinse with plain water (never use soap); place on a hot stove to dry and then coat with a layer of vegetable oil and let it cool. +My main issue is that it has major hot spots . I picked up one of these as a temp blender b/c some tahini seized up in my Vitamix and I had to send it in for warranty which would put me without a blender for 2 weeks .I can't speak to other's expectations or results, but the makers bill this blender as an affordable alternative to a Vitamix. +I use towels above this protector and a 200 polartec blanket underneath it, right above the mattress for further protection. +I only used it when I found 2 pound bags of Starbuck's French Roast at T.J. Maxx for $14.99 and would grind a partial bag at a time. +This chopper arrived exactly as amazon promised,but I'd bought it earlier than I needed, as I'd bought it to puree and chop homemade baby food for my grandson,he is just at the right age now,so I decided to give this chopper it's first practice run yesterday to chop a few walnut halves to go into the scones I was making....first buzz was fine......there was NO second, third or any other buzz..... +Love this elegant glass mug for my tea ! +These glasses are just right if you want one glass for either white or red wine. Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand. +This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. +In the unlikely event that you're not familiar with body pillows, these pillows are about as long as an adult body , and provide support to the head and neck at the top and to the knees and legs lower down. +I purchased this pan as a 'tester', as I had suffered way too many disappointments in previous cookie sheet purchases (even the air-bake pans disappointed me). +(My drive is about 45 minutes).They also hold way more than the store bags and are VERY sturdy . +I wouldn't suggest you leave the spoon / lifter in the pan while cooking, rather set them on a plate or dish on the side between stirs. +Anyway, he doesn't like covers that make noise when he moves. +The motor also seems to get very hot --maybe I got a dud and just don't know it. +The water that collected during cooking did not drip into the reservoir, but stayed in the rim of the pan. +Generally pretty easy to put together, sometimes the shelves get a bit stuck but you can take off black liner and it will go in then. +I ordered the "sage" color -- it's a soft almost neutral sage/olive green that works well in a lot of palettes. +We purchased 2 of these to use in a temporary home this summer. +so its required little more chopping 'for example its fit 2 big carrots ,but medium to big potato have to be split ,and if you don't mind to cut cabbage on smaller chunks - cole slow became a breeze, Does very well for puree, shredding - very good even slicing ,but potatoes wouldn't be round ,unless using small ones. +I am a intermediate level cook. +Cleaning any loose leaf/grind product can be problematic, this one is no more difficult. +As far as operation, I wish the pot itself was deeper , as several un-popped kernels get knocked out as the popping starts. +I don't know how the stainless steel handle will hold up over time (the description shows 18/10, but the actual product doesn't say). +I've been using OXO Pop Canisters for quite a while . +I also have a very finely ground gourmet tea which would also go right through the typical screen (round). +I like the fact that the boards are three different sizes , for example, no sense getting a large cutting board dirty if you're just going to cut some cheese, while the larger boards come in handy for cutting fruit and vegetables. +The fork is pretty flimsy and doesn't really fit on the lid, so I don't use that part. +This Panasonic vacuum (which is excellent, by the way) came with two vacuum bags, but I thought from the quality materials and construction of the bags that it wasn't going to be cheap to keep the house vacuumed. +Perfect replacement after I broke the original decanter for my FT series coffeemaker. +I put eight 4-place dinner settings, 3 wire whisks, a large can opener, tongs, peeler, 4 sharp knives, a big strainer ladle, measuring spoons, basting brush and more in it. +The curtain itself, when paired an inexpensive liner , makes a nice upgrade to one's bath, and if it proves truly washable, then its value is cinched. +I use these mylar bags to buy in bulk at Sam's Club and Costco, then store it in mylar with an O2 absorber to give the product long shelf life . +My favorite use is for cleaning out colanders . +This light melamine bowl is so easy to handle because it HAS a handle and you can scoop or stir with your free hand. +One of my ove gloves was getting ratty and old and i tossed it . +We've had this kettle for a few years now and we are ready for a divorce. +I put on perfume by it and the smell sensor goes way up and it cranks up, the dogs run by it and the particle indicator goes up and it turns on . +Over the years I have become a fan of most America's Test Kitchen recommendation and a fan of this pan I am. +Knowing they are NOT leak-proof reminds me to keep them level till frozen then can be store any which way to keep till I need a meal. +I love it . +We wrapped the crumb/drip tray in foil to make cleaning even simpler. +I have a favorite recipe for sugar cookies my mom has made since I was a kid but the dough is much too thick and better suited to old-fashioned cookie cutters . +I have not found a good use for them.

These containers are really nice as they come in the perfect sizes and the lids/containers are extremely durable. +Ok, so ' Thermos ' has long gone beyond being a simple brand name; most users now think of any generic insulated metal beverage container as a 'thermos' - +Do be aware that this is 100% poly , which should not come as a shock given the price. +I now keep everything in these large glass jars , flour, sugar, coffee, chocolate chips, corn meal, etc. +I like this one better than knives that cost closer to $150. I'm not sure how the edge will hold because I didn't order the sharpener at the time of order (it's in my cart now). +This vacuum has got to have the strongest suction of any cleaner ever made. +I just like:1)not having the screaming jet engine noise of the thermal popcorn poppers.2)not having an extra appliance around. +Best feature is its safety and non off gassing and non oxygen depleting features. +the eggplant color, so ordering from Amazon was the way to go and the price was good. +The first is that while it does fit in the refrigerator, it's a little too tall . +space between each rail on the individual racks are a bit small, but manageableoverall, nice product +that empty it's a bit top heavy . +My last kettle scared the dog with its shrillness . +I use this fan constantly when I am at home, especially for white noise to block out other noise in the home and for sleeping soundly. +Priced right, works exceedingly well , cleans up very easily. +As with all food processors there are safety features and you must line up the bowl and the shoot and lock before activating food processor . +The design is so very simple yet so very elegant yet the glass is nice and thick. +I bought this one for my daughter as a wedding gift. It was on her gift registry at a chain store. +We opted for the Kitchenaid mixer and Calphalon cookware, and decided to skimp on the blender, figuring a blender is a blender and what difference would it make?It makes a big difference. +I got the hooks and the black liner here at amazon.com , could have gotten the shower curtain, too, but I didn't know it was here and I had already ordered the curtain from walmart.com. +The Aroma rice cooker has also a up to 10-hr timer setting. +The only possible negative is its size makes it hard to store in a utensil drawer . +I had been using my oven to dehydrate liver for dog treats. +Have not tried it with bath full yet, hoping for the best . +The screen is large and shows what is happening. +There are two handle lengths, a 13 inch and a 9 1/2'. +I like that it fits in the door of my fridge (I have a standard size US fridge). +The rubber-like contact piece that gives the airtight seal is removable and cleanable. +I got this coffee maker to replace my old Melitta Take-2 and never much cared for the weak, lukewarm K-cup coffee makers. +Unfortunately, in one of the places it was so think, that a spike formed, and I cut my fingers on it while washing the pan. +Not only is it the SAFEST opener I've ever used but fast, clean and quieter . +I guess I didn't anticipate how difficult it would be to transfer the grounds into the espresso thingy . +But, every latte was horribly weak - problem is the steam wand. +I use it several times a day . +Purchased these to use as cleaning cloths. +Essentially, I there $40 down the drain and my kids , who love waffles, are going to be devastated. +Controls are simple, easy to set, but a remote control would be a seriously good addition. +Then I got another one that was a disaster: also got ugly weeks into its tour of duty. +Overall, I'm disappointed, and was expecting something more feasible for the DIYer , and I just don't think this is it. +I think these scissors are OK for the price($20 July 2013 ). +We have the Caphalon Pots & Pans, these were a natural addition to our set to make sure our Pots & Pans investment would last!http://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Unison-Nonstick-10-Piece-Cookware/dp/B0028S7R58/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topThese Nylon Utensils protect our cookware, they are very durable, wash well in dishwasher or by hand - (no spotting / falling apart as other reviewers have stated). +The picture shows two pizzas in the oven, but even with the convection on, the one on the bottom will not cook in the same time as the one on the top. I've never used the rotisserie, as it says it will take 4 hours to cook a chicken. +I make fruit shakes that have frozen fruit, including a cut-up frozen banana, and the blender blends it all pretty well. +Oh, and the remote rocks!

most users now think of any generic insulated metal beverage container as a 'thermos' - -Ok, so 'Thermos' has long gone beyond being a simple brand name; most users now think of any generic insulated metal beverage container as a 'thermos' - but this little container reminds us once again of how Thermos got to be the standard. -I anticipate though, that the next development in the Thermos line will be something like the Tardis , in that it has a bigger capacity on the inside then appears from the outside - say, holding a gallon, while still only appearing to have a 2-cup capacity. -Alas, that very same handy size only holds 16 ounces - not enough to share a hot drink with a crowd. -for hours . -It light and a little thicker in the glass than my other carafe, still like both. -What I like about this one is that the handle does not come out at 90deg. it bends down which makes it easier and safer hold and to clean cause it kind of hooks on your fingers as you clean it. -Like all carafes of this type you should basically hand wash rather than stick it in the dish washer they are delicate and I think I like it that way helps keep me patient. -I will be ordering another one in the future because there are times I become extra clumsy . -Like all carafes of this type you should basically hand wash rather than stick it in the dish washer they are delicate and I think I like it that way helps keep me patient. -I'm a total kitchen gadget junkie and so I was delighted when I received this for Christmas. -and so I was delighted when I received this for Christmas . -The problem is the thing is so irritating to wash that I find myself just reaching for my regular pizza cutter instead of this one. -I keep worrying I'm going to slice myself with the blade . -Frankly all this business of taking it apart and putting it together sort of nullifies the ergonomic aspect of it for me. -Gave it a 4-star.- quite sturdy.- does not wobble.- nice and wide.- cover is decent quality.- catch holds the legs firmly.- height is fully adjustable in reasonable increments .A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board. -A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board . -Gave it a 4-star.- quite sturdy.- does not wobble.- nice and wide.- cover is decent quality .- -Could see $50 - 60 .However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores. -Gave it a 4-star.- quite sturdy.- does not wobble.- nice and wide.- cover is decent quality.- catch holds the legs firmly.- height is fully adjustable in reasonable increments .A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board. -A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board . -Gave it a 4-star.- quite sturdy.- does not wobble.- nice and wide.- cover is decent quality .- -Could see $50 - 60 .However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores. -The Dirt Devil Turbo Plus Bagged Canister Vacuum was sent to me by Amazon Vine for review. -This is a sleek-looking machine, a silvery color, lightweight with a carrying handle built in . -Another nice feature is a variable suction-great for using the floor tool. -The not quite so likable items: the floor brush is suction only, a plastic rectangle with short bristles all around the edge . -a 12 amp motor and comes with a two-year warranty (Note: stated warranty on Amazon site is two years, on bottom of canister states one year). -It's HUGE! Better plan on using it on an AC that's at least close to 10,000 BTUs. -It's nothing more than some lightweight material ( kind of like a mattress pad, with a draw string inlieu of elastic ). -So, because it was inexpensive and would cost more than it's worth to ship back , I'm stuck with it. -The "fits up to 10,000 BTUs" is a false statement, there's no way this will fit my 5,000 BTU AC , it's too big, period. -This is a two-way sword, however, because when vacuuming HEAVY WOOL AREA RUGS it tries to suck up the rug and makes the most frightening squeal! -I would be nervous using it on large shag rugs , too. -There is no big HANDLE that says, "PULL TO OPEN AND DUMP."Something else quite original: on other vacuums, there is a little footpedal on the base on the right hand side you push down to get going. -This vacuum has got to have the strongest suction of any cleaner ever made. -The removable water chamber is not just a gimmick but helps in refilling the iron. -One drawback is the very small capacity of the water tank . -This iron also has a retractable cord which is a very handy feature. -All-in-all, you won't go wrong with this iron unless you do A LOT or ironing ...then you'll find yourself making lots of trips to the sink for a refill. -Received this 1 hour ago and does not work in my house and had spent 200.00 for assistance to try to fit my windows, very disappointed that this has happen. -Air Condition unit is nice but trying to fit the window panels for the hoses did not work with my window, I was disappointed, had a air condition company come in to assist but after many attempts, just would not fit my windows, so I had to return the unit . -Air Condition unit is nice but trying to fit the window panels for the hoses did not work with my window, I was disappointed, had a air condition company come in to assist but after many attempts, just would not fit my windows, so I had to return the unit. -Air Condition unit is nice but trying to fit the window panels for the hoses did not work with my window, I was disappointed, had a air condition company come in to assist but after many attempts, just would not fit my windows, so I had to return the unit. -Received this 1 hour ago and does not work in my house and had spent 200.00 for assistance to try to fit my windows, very disappointed that this has happen. -My only concern is that it seems very light weight and possibly easy to "break" unless handled carefully. -Recently received it and used it three times so far. -It does have a 5 year limited warranty !

-The dough is very wet , so it goes through the holes quickly and gets sliced off by the square box, and right into the boiling water or broth they go. -For the noodle maker, this is much faster and easier than using a pasta machine . -I just wanted to contribute that the coffee is just as hot and strong as when I used to make it. -I just bought one on clearance at the local grocery . -I just wanted to contribute that the coffee is just as hot and strong as when I used to make it. -The permanent fabric filter cup and drain cup come out. -That's all that needs to be cleaned (except occasional wipe down, vinegar to decalcify, etc.).If you want to use a short mug, it will splatter. -I love this Panasonic iron ! -My guess is that she probably switched from some old Sunbeam cheapie that barely could remove the slightest wrinkles, and she got this Panasonic from me and all of the sudden, wrinkles were a thing of the past. -I bought one for me and one for my mother-in-law , and we're both thrilled with its performance. -I can get all kinds of wrinkles out of my clothes with relative ease, and it's so much easier to fill with water and to put away (retractable cord) than past irons that I've owned (B&D;, Sunbeam).My previous iron was a Black & Decker Digital Advantage which was an awesome iron, indeed, but it did not have the detachable water tank, nor the retractable power cord. +Loved the blender but the motor died within 6 months. +The little circle ball you see is a storage area for the one whisk your not using, it's a very cute design touch. +Sweet! I've tipped this thing over on my desk with the flip top sealed over the straw and only a couple drops came out , not a drop even hit my desk, only wet the sides of the lip a bit. +Granite counters have taken a toll on my glassware and so, being down to a mis-matched 6 or so remaining, I was torn between plastic ( cheesy ) +I am very sure that the 24 oz Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker from Natural Revolution Ltd will not disappoint you. +The coffee pitcher broke, could not get a replacement. +If you use those drink mixes, especially the Crystal Light packages, I would go with the 20 oz. Just easier to fill and mix with that little extra few ounces . +This isn't the first product that I've purchased based on the strenght of Amazon reviews , but it is the most "gimmicky." +While this cuts fairly well and hand washes easily, my only concern are that all body components are plastic . +Great cooktop for the price and we use it almost everyday for something and it has been a workhorse. +My biggest issue is learning how to use the whole piece of fruit or vegetable I am trying to slice. +I now have a large and small container to use with my new Vitamix. +It is fantastic; solid,and so easy to just push the button and let it do all the work. +The new Breeze features have changed a little but so far I have had no problems. +You just need to be sure you have the oil collection container in place +Also, make sure to slice it down the middle or in strips across the top, the top strips work better for me, this is to let it expand properly when cooking. +It held a variety of dishes and kept them cold for several hours. I put just 1 large bag of ice in the boat. +(I would prefer a detachable one.)Still, with two cats and a big house, this is easy to use for things like small jobs on the stairs, both to the upstairs and from the garage, where it even handled leaves and lawn debris . +have had this beautiful skillet for about a month now and at first food just slid off it amazingly well but even in such a short period of time it has lost its non-stick quality and now requires scraping when trying to remove food. +This is a great 3qt saucepan ! +One year into using the unit, the hinge of the lid started to loosen off , but the lid still works. +The base firmly attaches to most flat surfaces via a suction cup , which is nice because it can be positioned over our sink to catch the peels. +With a little ham, a sausage patty , or two strips of cut up bacon and a slice of cheese, one can enjoy a better sandwich than can be found at the local hamburger place. +Sometimes I forget which knifes I used to cut smelly onions or other smelly foods... +I think that the bins should also be larger for both the solution dispenser and the dirty water collector, often times I haven't even finished one room before I have to refill the solution. +I like that it fits in the door of my fridge (I have a standard size US fridge). +UPDATE:SO - it's over 2 years later, and my bargain salad spinner is still one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. +This rack is okay, but not great . +Gotta send this back , maybe if you buy one, you'll have better luck, but I'm not taking the chance. +It does take about 4 minutes to make 2 shots worth of coffee for my AeroPress.2. +I've also used it to slice cookie dough and it works great .I like the handle a lot. +Since these units were advertised as " whisper quiet " this wasn't acceptable. +All I will need is an additional memory chip and win 7 . +It is small, but it controls the heat in the oven perfectly and bakes cookies like no other pan I have used. +There's also one 4mm slicing blade and a medium shredding blade (it's detachable stem fits either).Locking System: Here's where the PPP shines! :-) +This is a great little vacuum for the price. +I have tried a few things with great success (amazing job of doing julienne strips on a zucchini ), and other that were complete flops (just squished a very ripe tomato I tried to slice). +I've used these now for about 2 months now. +I have 4 children and have had this for 3 months now. +The only thing that's a bit quirky is that if you're using it just to store CDs, the vertical openings aren't uniform . +The cool thing is that it really insulates the room nicely it keeps my sleep area cool and it prevents my living area from getting cold +The top has a nice "P" and "S" on the top brass node to distinguish which is which on eyesight. +Great pans, if properly cared for, will live on long after you and I are gone! +I bought two more for my daughters . +I had been tossing the lids into boiling water and then trying to get them out with either tongs , or the magnetic wand - that resulted in a lot of frustration and burned fingers. +I own a Wusthof 7 -Piece knife block set +Perhaps with consistent use it will be better. +The snowy white plates give you a blank canvas for all of your culinary creations. +Actually even let our horses drink beer out of them (so funny) but these glasses stand the test of time... +Less sticking, less deformation of a sticky dough creation. +This pillow case is very soft and cool to touch, at least for several hours at a time...was looking for the coolest pillow case I could find, and this tops all of them thus far....fits my standard size pillow, but will "turn" on pillow sometimes as I toss and turn, which happens to most cases I use....could do without the frilly floral design, but that might appeal to some....I'd like to see this pillow in solid color and King size as well. +I assisted in the decoration of a wine and cigar lounge in my hometown. +The Enviro pads were quite awful.

report my trepidations were wholly unfounded. -just as often as my other primary "go to knives" - an 8" chef's knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, and a Chinese cleaver. -But that isn't the only thing I use it for - this evening I quickly reduced a slow-cooked (8 hours) eye of round into wonderful thin slices for making roast beef sandwiches. -My only complaint (and it isn't much of a complaint) was that it could have been just a little sharper when I got it, but since regular sharpening and steeling are just part of the routine of using a knife like this, it wasn't a big deal. -If

for this iron include how easy it is to fill the water reservoir spill-free, it heats up very quickly and produces lots of steam when I want steam and the heft is just right, not too heavy. -I also

+and I have a large family +The coffee maker itself is sturdy, well made, fits well on our counters and stylish . +Reheating will not only be simply, the small size prevents the food from becoming over-done and dry . +The room in question is at the end of the system and deposits dust instead of the air and dust going to the return vents . +The color red is awesome and matches nicely with other bright red accents in our kitchen. +Although not as thick as they once were (I think they were a ridiculous 11" thick when I unpacked them), they're still plenty thick and supportive. +I did a lot of research before buying (we just had an expensive DiLonghi coffee maker die after only 14-15 months and they wouldn't stand behind it)In addition to the features, pricing and the fact that it's stainless, our main decision point for this one was the 3 year warranty . +I do not use microwaves and with winter coming it would be great to have hot lunches. +It does include a small, glass pie plate which would be nice if it was a deep dish but alas, it isn't. +I ordered this French press because I wanted to take my drip coffee maker off the countertop to make way for an espresso machine and bean grinder. +The buttons could be bigger, and it's hard to read their labels . +It also has a long hose to get into those smaller areas, the Turbo Tool is great for cleaning furniture and the edge to edge cleaning means it gets right up the edge of where you are cleaning. +It's big, it's beautiful and it the smell reminds me of the beach ! +But I don't like purchasing a $3 cup every morning. +I was also having a problem with my #4 filters when making 8 cups in my Gevalia, made by Cuisinart, 12 cup machine. +and I'll say I still love these for the canister and lid mechanisms . +I let the yogurt make all night in this and then strain for about 3 hours in the Euro 2-Qt Gree Yogurt Maker. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091XNL0I/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1.I eat yogurt every day so usually make a batch and half every weekend. +The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control. +Having the blender beater ( single ) means I can mix dough and beat egg whites or cream separately without cleaning anything in between. +I filled the large-size box to capacity with flannel sheets: two queen flat, two queen fitted & four pillow cases and was able to tightly close the lid. +It does the job, but not very well , in my opinion. +I cannot comment on the longevity as I have only had it a few days . +The coffee is always weak in comparison to our other Keurig machine and it brews about half of a cup or half of the water that you place into the holding tank. +I was nervous about ordering this because the picture shows a small protrusion coming out of where it would attach to the mixer, and my current beater does not have any such protrusion. I like it for the area I bought it for, but I might move it because it is in fact a little too big for my taste for where I intended for it to go. +Scamble up an omelet with saugage on the side ? +This mandolin has dutifully sliced onions, tomatoes, ginger, daikon , etc. +We keep them in the corner of the closet so they are out of the way until we need them. +It is of good heft (not flimsy) and makes it extremely easy to knead dough or roll out pizza or pie dough to an exact size. +After reading several of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam, but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using the oven for a few weeks, I can earnestly say that we are very happy with the decision. +Yes , you have to keep the button pushed in, but it is so not a big deal considering what you get in return (and you get used to it). +I love that it has 3 temperature options, that it gives you the option of warm milk without the foam, and that you can walk away from it while it's doing its thing. +But it made quick work of a couple of carrots for salad and produced a size and texture that were much better to my taste than carrot slices and it's a whiz for cole slaw. +Anyway, it does a great job of pulling out impurities in the water, and the result tastes great. +Keep in mind when ordering, that these racks will hold small glass spice bottles and small to medium-large plastic spice containers . +I not only bought 1 I bought 2 for good measure. +The Bonavita heats quickly and accurately. +Mine do not leak , I know that some others have said theirs did and if that's the case you should return them. +Also, I'm generally a fan of cast iron , but even when oiled, the batter stuck to the divots which were really annoying to clean. +All my shirts that normally slide right off the "satin" padded hangers cling onto these canvas ones perfectly. +No spills .The primary drawback and reason for my 3-star rating is the mediocre insulation. +After using it a few times it is stored somewhere, but have not bothered to look for it as it will not be used again . +It's slim and small enough to fit in the diaper bag . +It has a solid metal construction and a chrome finish, with options for hanging it over a door or directly mounting it to a wall. +I used this pan for the first time yesterday after watching it for months on Amazon. +After trying out this chef's knife, I was impressed. +I bought this at a big box store , which thankfully is not too far from my home, as it had to be returned before using it. +One at home and one we use in our RV and cabin . +The black one puts out more air than I anticipated; I can feel a breeze at 6 feet . +The controls are simple but they all work, and it warms up FAST . +I use different temps for different coffees and teas. +The best way to clean hard-water deposits is to use 1/4 apple cider vinegar in 3 cups of water; boil contents, let sit, clean with non-scratch pad. +if I put a bottle of water in the frig, everyone would have helped themselves to my cold water. +I dissembled, and removed the blade and plate, replacing it with the plastic spinner in the box , and once I did that, the auger did its job and started pulling the meat through, instead of the vicious plunger stuffing that was needed before. +It seems to conduct heat very well, so things cook quickly -- and the steamer basket is HUGE ! +Update: Its been almost 7 months now +If you are really serious about getting frothy milk and other drinks I would recommend that you check out one of those steamers . +have used this for 20 years and it's still going strong. +I tried to use it to cover all of the shelves and drawers in my kitchen and thought it was not very good quality, difficult to cut, and impossible to clean. +Nevertheless, the fan is rather loud and doesn't pack much punch. +Cotton washcloths--4 mixed pretty colors as shown & described. +Grill veggies on them. +We now own a Hoover Wind Tunnel Air and love it. +The readout is very large and extremely crisp and clear, which makes assessing weight a snap. +The only down side is that when they come out of the dryer, they appear wrinkled . +I would suggest keeping it in the box so as not to lose any parts . +The door falls off on the left (Looking at the toaster) side of the oven. +It took my husband and I about half an hour , and I honestly could have done it myself if I had to. +The fan is very quiet , emitting a hum rather than a roar when running at full speed. +I bought this in the hope that it would hold a queen size comforter, 2 standard shams, 2 euro shams and 2 decorative pillows - that's all I wanted it to hold. +It worked well and was durable, but it was sooooo loud . +but I couldn't find a big one . +Seems I need to wait for the parts and then arrange for a service call. And so on. +You need a couple of straight, small screwdrivers to slowly tap open the glue seam much like a diamond cutter uses a tiny chisel to tap cut a diamond. +I did the 2 pass test with this and the older hoover. +I am hoping to send this back, except that I did not save the box ! +So it was with some trepidation I selected the Pet hair Eraser . +I've made omelettes in it twice , and was told by the eater that the pan had made a huge difference in the quality of the omelette. +The base and fan parts are plastic , and the pole is metal. +This is like a dense, dense cotton , or a very thin felt. +The ORECK ULTIMATE HANDHELD VACUUM is a wonderful device for getting to awkward locations. +Designed in the U.S. but manufactured in China .I recommend placing the napkins with the folded part toward the post as well as trying to grab the entire napkin and not just a layer when you pull it out.

It cleans up and stores easily, and I like the way you can vary the amount of pulp you allow in. -It's a good deal for the money , but I long for something with a more powerful motor. -These glasses are the best. -They make a nice "rocks" glass for alcoholic beverages , but that's just the beginning. -They're heavy, of fine quality (made in France , not China), and very versatile. -They feel good in your hand , and their style is classic. -Perfect one serving size . -I loved the 20 oz . -I loved the 20 oz. mug so much, I decided to try this 24 oz. small vented casserole . -I stored two half chicken breasts with sauce easily. Reheating will not only be simply, the small size prevents the food from becoming over-done and dry. -Reheating will not only be simply, the small size prevents the food from becoming over-done and dry . -I loved the 20 oz . -I loved the 20 oz. mug so much, I decided to try this 24 oz. small vented casserole . -I stored two half chicken breasts with sauce easily.

I never had a great place to roll out pie dough ...now I do. -Mine arrived on November 26, 2013 and I've already put it to use for my holiday cooking. -I like the handles on the colander and the nonslip bottom on the bowl, which keeps you from having to hang onto it lest it slips. -I like the handles on the colander and the nonslip bottom on the bowl, which keeps you from having to hang onto it lest it slips. -The lid has clasps which makes the bowl a good storage place for keeping your food fresh. -The bowl, lid and colander are remarkably strong and contain no BPAs. -Not sure if the plastic is 'off-gassing', but there is a seriously pungent odor that comes from the bowl after being microwaved . -The popcorn burns at 3 minutes, at 2:45, at 2:30, and even at 2:15 (when the majority of the kernels are still unpopped). -Because of this, we have been using the Nordic Ware bowl and then immediately transferring the popped kernels to another serving bowl. -I've tinkered with the amount of oil 1/2 tbsps all the way to 2 tbsps. I've also tinkered with the type of oil (olive, veggie, coconut). -I bought this based on all of the positive reviews that were previously posted. -No such thing as a quick juicing before work -- you'll be spending 10 mins trying to get it to lock in place then 20 mins trying to clean up.overall, I find this machine difficult to work with. -cons :I spend a lot of time trying to get the pieces to lock so I can use it . -The electric cord is on one side of the machine -- always the opposite side of where my electric socket is.pros:makes nice juiceinexpensivefastnoise level is tolerableI get the grater basket clean pretty easily with a dishwashing brush. -No such thing as a quick juicing before work -- you'll be spending 10 mins trying to get it to lock in place then 20 mins trying to clean up.overall, I find this machine difficult to work with. -wasteful.there is a lot of juice left over in the machine the feed hole is pretty smallmessy/awkward to get pulp out of pulp collectorlots of difficult cleanup = time consuming. -Amazon needs to add a " zero " stars option or even a negative one, like black stars, because products like this are black holes that just suck in your money and give you nothing in return! -I already own the Crane "Penguin" and couldn't be happier with that but I didn't want to have to drive all the way to the store that has them. -This humidifier is LOUD ; there's no way to sleep in the same room when this thing is running. -Amazon needs to add a "zero" stars option or even a negative one, like black stars, because products like this are black holes that just suck in your money and give you nothing in return! -Sure, but they didn't mention that the sound/sleep machine was an idling dump truck ! -I have four dogs and three cats and vacuuming is something I need to do daily to keep my house hair free and clean. -I was able to assemble this in less then 5 minutes, and only needed one screwdriver for the one screw. -* Update Sept 17 th, 2011 * -I have four dogs and three cats and vacuuming is something I need to do daily to keep my house hair free and clean. -As always if my opioion or any issues come up I will update this review, but so far super happy with this vacuum... -Both of mine are black , so I use different colors of soap & lotion so that no one gets confused. -An easy 5 stars. -I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion. -I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion. -I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion . -Upon actually receiving it, however,the product appeared darker . -However, before I purchased I magnified the picture to be sure that the cherry was a good match for my room. -I have realized how many products are photographed with an extra amount of surrounding light to boost the visibility of detail ; however, in doing so, some products like these I've ordered are inaccurately represesented in pictures. -The other aspect of the item I didn't care for was the width - it seems just a bit too wide for the proportions of depth. -This is a nice personal blender, and perfect for those who crave an iced coffee or smoothie drink . -Need chopped onions or celery? Maybe 10 seconds ! -In my area, such drinks are around 2.99 to 3.99 each , so you can see the value of this unit- quite quickly!As others have mentioned, dont overload it with ice, and make SURE you have liquid in it. -In my area, such drinks are around 2.99 to 3.99 each, so you can see the value of this unit- quite quickly!As others have mentioned, dont overload it with ice , and make SURE you have liquid in it. -Well made ( China made- at the time not a popular choice). -As an addition to a new corelle set we bought 2 of these trays 20-something years ago . -One of the old trays recently broke when dropped on a sharp object , so i ordered this tray being reviewed. -This is an abomination ! -I have 4 children and have had this for 3 months now. -The quality is excelent . -It is GREAT, I would highly recomend if you do not want the cereal boxes lying around everywhere . -I read the bad reviews and have not had one problem with cereal crunching or anything of the sort, up to now I have put in cherios, fruit loops and reeses puffs , perfect performance, no complaints at all. -We eat mainly excellent grass fed beef and this device makes it even better. -We simply tenderize, add olive or grape seed oil and let it marinate for around an hour . -The blade cover can be used to soak the sharp business end in hot soapy water to make cleaning easy. -We use it on the leaner cuts . -The spatula is a little stiff and the labels for the measurements on the measuring spoons and cup are hard to read. -The cup is all in ml/cc 's! -The cookie cutters are dull and aren't straight up and down, are sloped inward as you cut, not sure why. -The spatula is a little stiff and the labels for the measurements on the measuring spoons and cup are hard to read. -My husband (an allergist) has recently become very allergic to the cats . -By banning the cats from the bedroom (every allergist's first recommendation), and using these in the bedroom and his office , those spaces are constant "safe" zones. -We are putting these in the kids rooms in place of their white noise machines (on the highest filtration setting, the "white" wind noise of these purifiers is more pleasant than the machines we use), and to improve air circulation. -For the price, I definitely recommend these!(BTW, for those wondering about ionizing units, the ionizing units release ozone , and the allergy community feels that even the small amount of ozone released can be more irritating to asthmatics than the allergens, and thus the latest recommendations say to avoid any purifier that releases ANY amount of ozone. -My husband had us turn off our furnace air filter and remove the ionizing coils , and just replace the coils with a cardboard filter. -Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub ; the print is wearing off. -I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off . -I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth . -Had I read the washing instuctions (that is NOT listed on the shower curtain!) -Update: Its been almost 7 months now -Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub ; the print is wearing off. -I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth . -I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off . -Update: Its been almost 7 months now -Had I read the washing instuctions (that is NOT listed on the shower curtain!) -The stainless steel cups (7) fit perfectly in the larger container, and the lid fits tightly even with the spoons (7) in the individual cups. -The stainless steel cups (7) fit perfectly in the larger container, and the lid fits tightly even with the spoons (7) in the individual cups. -The clear lid is nice because the spices look so pretty inside of it. -The clear lid is nice because the spices look so pretty inside of it. -I think it will last me a very long time. -It failed to remove harder stuck-on gunk (fruit residue, for example), but did well with minor spots (where milk spilled, for example). -It's certainly more pleasant and less messy to use than a standard mop , though I'm not sure it's any more effective. -It's definitely an upgrade to a standard mop, but you do get a few drawbacks: there'll likely eventually be issue using hard water in such a device, you do need to refill the water compartment a few times per use (though you use dramatically less water), and you're restricted by the electric cord. -It's definitely an upgrade to a standard mop, but you do get a few drawbacks: there'll likely eventually be issue using hard water in such a device, you do need to refill the water compartment a few times per use (though you use dramatically less water), and you're restricted by the electric cord. -It's also about 5x the price of a basic mop and bucket. -The squeezer looks nice and sturdy, and has a good heft, which is good since you need to put a little bit of elbow grease into it to get your juice. -The Meyers lemons had unusually thick rinds, but the OXO still got plenty of juice out. -The Meyers lemons had unusually thick rinds, but the OXO still got plenty of juice out. -Cut side down ! -Cut side down is what I used, which seems reasonable, since you want the juice to go down to the holes , and not squirt out the sides. -I own dozens of ties. -I have neckties and bowties . -I now have six of these hanging in my closet . -I now have six of these hanging in my closet. -But the grout in my kitchen was a different matter and THAT was what I bought it for. -I'd get it pretty and clean with this thing and then seal it. -I did go to the hardware store and bought a bottle of Finazzle and that was a miracle! -I did go to the hardware store and bought a bottle of Finazzle and that was a miracle! -They have their own website and amazon should carry this but it does not. -It is very disappointing to have to throw away 5 qts of homemade ice cream...not to mention the cost of ingredients. -We have since been able to produce ice cream while making sure the motor is properly seated upon the can lid . -After further inspection, we noticed that the shaft of the paddle was striping out the metal gear of the motor . -If you do not install the electric crank/motor properly, the paddle shaft will strip out the metal insert of the motor housing causing metal shavings/filings to contaminate the product. -I had a Sunbeam for 4 years which I loved. -I went for the low-voltage mostly due to the promise of finer sized heating elements .WOW!So -It died and even without a receipt, Sunbeam replaced it based on the Mfg. code. -In early use I have heard zero transformer noise .Either pad will save energy. -Either pad will save energy. -I've had my B60 for a little over 2 years and I still love it. -I've seen several reviews here and there on the Internet of people stating that their machine stopped dripping after several months of usage . -I had the same issue a couple of months ago . -I bought a gallon jug of white vinegar and I spent about an hour or two flushing the machine with pure vinegar. -I was able to fill it up with 1 large pineapple, 4 pounds apple slices, and 12 large bananas . -I was able to fill it up with 1 large pineapple, 4 pounds apple slices , and 12 large bananas. -I also took a lean beef roast, about 3.5 lbs , thin sliced it and marinated it in a pre prepared mix. -This filled up all 9 trays . -It took up about 3 trays . -It's stainless inside so no worries about a glass liner breaking. -UPDATE 12/09 : Still using this carafe daily. -UPDATE 5/2013 : Still using this carafe daily. -This carafe keeps coffee hot for several hours. -The 8 hour claim is exaggerated; the liquid may still be warm but it will not be hot at 8 hours. -Love the clear glass . -Just a couple of notes - you will get a much better result using the Hario paper cone filters ; actually, I think it's the only way to do it well. -While I've made coffee through paper towels in the past, this dripper wouldn't work with that. -Also, the flat bottom piece with the handle is plastic - which, I was at first, not happy about, but it makes a much 'softer landing' onto the top of a cup or a pot and there are tiny tabs underneath that prevent it from sliding sideways off the cup/pot. -I have all of the Hario product line for coffee-making. -Oster is a great brand -- we own can openers and blenders by Oster -- and they certainly have done their work here. +It's like having an espresso machine without having to deal with the milk steamer , which I've never had much luck with no matter how diligent I was trying to maintain them. +Works great , single hand operation is nice. +They fit perfectly , hold as much and never rip. +I have got these peelers for a gift for 3 ppl so far and they all really like itgreat investment...check U tube for more recipes..the lady here having trouble with zucchini ...maybe she picked wrong kind of zucchini ...its got it to be bigger in size for peeler to work best !!!!!! +It arrived only five days later .The unit proved to be very good indeed. +Drying took a little extra time but it emerged from the dryer in great shape with no bunching. +Perhaps I just got a "dud"... also, the plastic on mine has become very sticky . +Again given to Mom who I ask in detail how it working. +This cabinet is very easy to assemble . +We have managed to run the mice back outside (for this winter, at least) where they belong, and because of these jars, my winter pantry remains intact! +This item has the angled head so it gets into corners very nicely which I love. +It fits perfectly; supports my dishes; and I like that it does not rust and does not encourage mold growth by lying flat against the sink. +Only one T-bone can fit on this grill at a time...or two chicken pieces. +This stainless steel bodied rack measures in at 3.6" x 19.2" x 10.6" and features five padded hooks. +That's why the Ozeri Epicurean Digital Kitchen Scale is coming in real handy for my kitchen. +I use the Tortilla Bowls to make all kinds of Food variation Items , Mexican Tostadas, Small Salads and even Desserts. +The design is great . +The intake is smooth plastic, but I suspect it could scar some furniture, or at least leave minor tracks on the surface; it did not on my furniture, but the manufacturer should buffer the end with a brush or felt . +This item has a one year warranty . +It works well, as advertised - the weighted arm keeps napkins secure and only dispenses one at a time when a napkin is pulled. +It is quiet compared to my old one and has a touch pad which I love AND comes with a remote !! +I needed a 10" knife holder to fit on the side of an upper cabinet in the kitchen, and this one was the only 10" I found on Amazon, so I gave it a try. +Years prior, we received a set of knives we had selected in our wedding registry. +If you want a water-tight seal, use a regular two-piece canning lid because these leak like a sieve ; if the two-piece feature really bugs you, hot-glue the flat to the ring. +I ordered these just before Thanksgiving, I did my entire thanksgiving, excluding the turkey , in slow cookers! +Didn't think that this would be a very good vacuum but needed an upright for the small amount of carpeting I have in my new home... +Never have to remember to turn off the stove, this kettle shuts off automatically. You want the cooker to be able to be regulated and also to keep things warm especially in our family where we have 6 grown children plus their assorted husbands/wives/significant others plus 3 grandchildren! -You want the cooker to be able to be regulated and also to keep things warm especially in our family where we have 6 grown children plus their assorted husbands/wives/significant others plus 3 grandchildren ! -so I bought this as a Christmas present. -This cooker does all of that plus can let you slow-cook veggies as well. -I am SO completely hooked on Lock & Lock containers . -Fruit and veggies seem to last forever. -I find way fewer " science experiments " in the back of the refrigerator! -I have stored strawberries for weeks without them molding or going bad. -The containers don't stain and stack really well in the pantry or fridge. -First of all I like the small size of the unit since it takes up little room on my counter. -But I only make a cup at a time so that is okay -There is very little clearance for anything but the smallest espresso cups (don;t think of trying to fit a normal mug or cup).You would also since they only thing that can fit under it is an espresso cup that the unit would dispense the right amount automatically. -There is very little clearance for anything but the smallest espresso cups (don;t think of trying to fit a normal mug or cup).You would also since they only thing that can fit under it is an espresso cup that the unit would dispense the right amount automatically. +Works as intended ...I wasn't sure I needed the bigger plate at the top (versus the original), but found out why it's a good thing...less mess lol. +I set the cooker on porridge and set the timer before I go to bed. +Only downsize to me was in the size of the containers . +Having to buy many timers that broke after a short time , I am pleased to say; I am very satisfied with my purchase. +i haven't used it but i like the construction.very sturdy and the coating feels slippery.i see some reviewers feel they don't have to use linersor grease but the manufacturer suggests grease. +The downward pressure from the Topper should be gently absorbed by the paper towel and light fingers pressure .Pull and release topper twice. +There are better alternatives out there and I'm exploring two of them now, the Eko Cup and My Caps. +I love this Panasonic iron ! +The herbs thaw almost instantly once ground and exposed to air or heat of food. +More pleasant features are that a bottle cap opener is included, this tool feels great in the hand, it's about the cheapest good quality corkscrew around, and it's good looking. +Every month I rotate the mattress, don't know if have to but old habits die hard. +Its gorgeous . +My husband liked it alot. +I say neutral because I am a total newbie when it comes to steaming clothes, so I really have no idea if these issues are due to my technique, this steamer, or all steamers in general. +Having looked far and wide for affordable platform beds (which were much more expensive - and often difficult to assemble) I went with this basic model... no wood siding, no headboard - but that's ok by me - and for a fraction of the priceIt doesn't look "bad" with just the mattress on it eitherThe mattress fits securely, the frame feels EXCEPTIONALLY strong and secure . +My room is about 250 sf and this guy heats it up in less than an hour from the daytime temp of about 50-60 degrees up to a steamy 75-80 like i like it. +Changed my rating from 5 stars to 3 , should've just bought a new coffee maker. +I just don't like a coffeemaker that's a diva . +We have two Snauzers that live inside, two Siamese and a feral cat that love in to enjoy the fireplace with us on cold winter days +I can leave a roast cooking for 8-10 hours while I'm at work and it's perfectly tender, but retains some texture, the veggies I put under it are perfectly cooked , not mushy at all. +I researched on Amazon , and this one seemed to fit the need. +The first thing we love about Green Earth Wok by Ozeri is the fact that its from nature and helps support greener living. +Also of note, the sliders are all made of plastic . +This heats up the object where the light fells, so better not to use in narrow space ( potential fire hazard ). +I have had two of these from Amazon the first one the base didnt work at all, this one the base is like 90% working... there is a screw you are supposed to attach to the swivel part of the base but if you do it properly it wont swivel, so I left it off and it swivels " good enough". +Also, it would be good for those who have a hard time pushing and pulling a cleaner around . +I'm so glad I thought of looking for hangers on Amazon . +I returned my previous CPT-180 to Cuisinart because of uneven toasting; the customer service was quick and very courteous. +But over time the plastic stems start to bend and create clogs in the block due to repeated use by putting your knives in. +It's disappointing that even after using mineral oil with each use this board it still cracked. +I wouldn't recommend it to anyone .This is just another one of those products that when it's demonstrated by a slick host who has multiple takes to make itlook can appear to be a good product. +I pre-made Grand Flaky biscuits . +I really like the look of the cart so it was what I ordered, regardless of the previous reviews stating it was difficult to assemble . +Also, I still wonder why Zojirushi does not include any rice cleaning bowls, but make sure you grab one to easily wash your rice before cooking!I got mine using the Amazon warehouse for a discounted price and I couldn't really tell "the box was opened and the item was repackaged" since all of the stickers were still on it and it was well packaged. +Let it sit longer than you normally would before un-molding too if not you will lose some of the detail at the bottom of the mold. +Colors are true to form, the sheets fit my deep mattress (17-18"), and I'll definitely order again if/when I need new sheets. +Like another reviewer, I liked this tool jar, but found it was not the color pictured ; in particular, it did not match the gold Sorrento canisters and spoon rest that I ordered. +Reason I'm not giving it a favorable review: Very much dislike the fact that the packaging of these Regency liners had two airholes in the plastic wrapping (What for? +I have one in the bathroom and one in the laundry room . +I did go to the hardware store and bought a bottle of Finazzle and that was a miracle! +The set has held up fine, with the exception that two out of twelve bowls have nicked . +I give it 5 big stars . +Makes enough batter for 3 batches of 7 . +The Eureka is very reasonable priced and does a great job. +The way we have it setup, we have a table protector pad and then on top a linen tablecloth, and then finally this plastic tablecloth. +For those of us who can't use a regular shower caddy (e.g. with a claw foot tub) and need to hang something on the shower rod , this works as advertised. +My husband wants his coffee and we are furnishing a small apartment . +This Hario Water Brew Coffee Pot generates a lovely cup of cold coffee. +However, upon putting these one these fit my hands perfectly . +I poured as slowly as I could, but this is more of soaked coffee than drip coffee so my coffee (after repeated tries) tastes as muddy as a camping trip. +I did find it for half the price that was on Amazon so sent it back. +very nice and handy little vacuum, but boy, is it LOUDalso, there appears to be some air that comes out from the back end; so when I'm vacuuming, I notice the air from the back is so powerful as well that it blows away the stuff I'm trying to vacuum!be careful what you vacuum as well, I accidentally let it suck in a toothpick and next thing I know the toothpick came sticking out of the middle of the hose! +My bed is a hand-me-down, and it was firm. +Simply bolt it to your counter top using the included clip, adjust the knob to desired thickness and feed in your dough using the hand crank, progressively adjusting to the knob to make the dough thinner each time you send it through. +I bought this rice cooker not really knowing what to expect. +The bowl is large enough to hold a lot of lettuce, which is great, but I do wish sectioned parts for the toppings were a bit larger. +I've had no problems using the bowl in the microwave (so far) except that it is hard to handle. +First off, yup, this definitely peels apples and such and does a decent job of that. +I no longer need to worry about surprise wet papers/purses/lunchboxes or melting containers in the microwave. +I have had 3 bagless vacuums in a years time and every one of them you have to get the dirt on your hands at some point in time weather if it's cleaning the filter(s) and or the bucket that holds the dirt that just flys everywhere and you have to vacuum that area again! +We have four dogs in our house +It is well designed, very well thought out, easy to use, the lights let you read the water height and amount, and it beeps to tell you that the water has come up to temperature. +I was in need of some new mixing bowls , having a leftover plastic bowl from my mom since college and a very heavy porcelain one. +I was very excited to try out this vacuum . +I bought the box over a year ago and only two lids have been put into use - for jars of my special lotion blend. +The one I bought a few years back was called the same thing, but the metal legs were much stronger and of a heavier metal. +I was able to adjust the accuracy of the Taylor some by using the hex bolt on the back but this calibration should have been done at the factory. +When I removed the THREE fitted covers I had on to keep it protected, and the pillowcase, I found that it had turned yellow and crumbly. +The white color of the rubber blade doesn't leave any marks on our glass, tiles or grout like some of the black bladed ones have in the past. +I resurrected it this afternoon to give it another chance, this time with lemon and lime sorbet. +Having said that, I have large hands , so someone with small hands might find these very large. +If you don't have pets and clean your floors regularly a simple spray mop would probably be more convenient or you might want to purchase something like this just to make sure that you truly wash away all the dirt every now and then. +I actually own the Oster 6646 but am writing the review here because the 6646 appears to be no longer caried by Amazon and the 6684 is simply the black version of the 6646.First, the good: +My experience with this type of products is spend a little more and it will last, so overall, I like it . +I ordered this basket because I wanted a decorative way of keeping all my cosmetics by my couch so I can take my make up off while watching tv in the evening, before bed. +I always clean right after using to avoid anything getting crusted on. +It has a dial to adjust to various surfaces and works well on all carpet thicknesses as well as bare floors . +I've tried it several times, and the high heat zone is simply too small to allow cooking with any reasonable amount of food. +Good for measuring cold as well as heat . +Finally, an original thick Oster gasket as advertised and/or pictured. +I bought this only 2 and half months ago and have used it maybe 4 or 5 times (I mostly only iron when I sew and I have been too busy to sew lately). +The interior wide mouth funnel easily sits on a jar with no wobbling, while the exterior hangs outside of the jar . +I purchased one of these two years ago then a 2nd unit last year . +OK, so I jumped on the K Cup Brewer bandwagon for about 2 months . +So you can see what I am not in love with cleaning my floors . +The mini dehumidifer is sufficiently small and lightweight to use in any room. +This makes wonderfully delicious, rich, flavorful coffee that is not bitter. +This one is great, with the strainer that comes with it. +For that, it is perfect- covers the deep mattress well, seems to be resistant to liquids seeping through, and isn't too "plastic" feeling (has a nice, thin terry cover). +It is a pretty mold but for those making CP soap in it I recommend you do a couple of batches of re-milled soap first just to get the "bleeding" out of the way or making red soap first few batches. +The magnet on the back is robust enough to hold the heavy body weight up on the kitchen door or a metal panel. +I've used the dough option for making fresh dough for pizzas and rolls and artisan breads . +I purchased it to go with a few other odd sized Farberware pieces I was given and it matches perfectly ! +The lit offers high quality equipment for a starter kit or a beer veteran looking for an upgrade. +I purchased both the Pyrex measuring spoons and Pyrex measuring cups. +The 4-1/2 quart size is perfect for our small household, perfect for use as a Dutch Oven, and a true Best Buy in the Creuset line. +4.7 starsThis is a good cheap cooking thermometer. +Looking at newer toaster ovens I've noticed that most are too large and bulky .I loved this toaster oven and am seriously considering getting another since I was so happy with it for so long. +Poking around on Amazon I came across this Pie Crust Maker and figured for around $5.00 bucks its worth a shot. +They come out of the dryer very soft and about as crease-free as can be. +The grind size was always inconsistent , no matter how many beans I put in the grinding bowl. +The container holds 64 ounces , so you can make smoothies for more than one person at a time if you want to. +It's sturdy and can hold a decent amount of weight in it . +2013 . has held its air since dec. and it is now march. +It is very sharp and has a great curve to it that helps to rock it across the pizza . I bought two of these mugs, one with a handle, one without. +We had previously used a "cold air" humidifier but it made the room too cold +They keep my hands cool and have a good grip because of the silicon strips in the mits themselves. +This press fits my 10 1/2" cast iron skillets PERFECTLY.I am a loyal Amazon customer, I love their return policy and their customer service . +Holds everything including soda and packs of water and then the rest of your items... +In the picture, the hamper stands perfectly straight but 2 of the folding creases on are along the left and right wall so the minute some dirty clothes go in, the sides pop out at the fold, which runs vertically down the middle of the left and right walls, and the hamper starts to bulge and lose its rectangular form . +I used White Cat Corn popcorn, so perhaps it's a cut above, because everything popped. +I'm actually going to use mine to hold cleaning supplies , 'cause I always worry about them leaking a little bit and damaging my lovely wood vanity. +On the rare occasions when the temperature gets below freezing, I cover the equipment with a couple of mover's pads and, up to now, put a contraption with four incandescent light bulbs on it under the cover. +For our wedding registry, we chose this Colorwave set. +The box says 8 cups-64 OZ .-NO way was this pot going to hold 8 cups or 64 OZ!--It holds 24 OZ which is fine by me-no way did I need 64 OZ of coffee first thing in the AM. +I'm getting rid of it . +The difference is that the paper is a little wider than 12" . +I had one that was collapsable and shaped kind of like a tennis racket and I loved it +I really like that the lid is spring loaded so when you open it, it stays open and doesn't flop down while you are drinking and bash you on the nose. +The downside was that it is pretty big compared to most other basters I have owned and a bit awkward to use. +We hate that the CO2 and the bottles are sooooo expensive, and have solved the CO2 problem with another product. +So, I decided to try this pillow out given the positive reviews and both my spouse and I have been engaged in convert pillow switching since it arrived. +The dough that squeezed out actually baked on the stone and was like eating crust when I tried a little taste (not too bad, actually).With the bread completely baked, the lid slid off with no problem even though it was under a bit of pressure from my overloading. +I wish the chute was a little bit bigger. +I don't think this will be the last vacuum cleaner you ever buy, but it will do you well for a few years . +I do not like this sifter at all because it starts out sifting while using the spring action handle and then it stops sifting after a few pulls and you end up having to shake the sifter to get the flour out. +I ordered this basket because I wanted a decorative way of keeping all my cosmetics by my couch so I can take my make up off while watching tv in the evening, before bed. +After years of trying different typical metal infusers that didn't work that well for some of my herbs, I decided to give this one a shot. +The only problem I had was my smoke detector kept going off when I used "broil" I learned to overcome this problem by using the lower rack instead of the suggested top rack. +Though a bit on the expensive side this drying rack works great. +I love oxo products , with the exception of their plastic. +This is definetly the most Beautiful Toaster I have ever seen, a Bright Candy Apple Red . +Pop the cork on your favorite Merlot . +While it is muli-functional; 2 biggest irritatiosn are:- it has to be plugged out - i cannot just press a button for it to stop heating. +It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. +At that time, it sold for $30, so at $15 it's a bargain; recently I bought the black version , which with its colored buttons looks cooler than white. +I ended up buffing as much as possible off the hot stone and then putting a thick layer of cornmeal on the stone since my family was eagerly awaiting their dinner, but I wasn't happy. +The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz. , a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter. +It only says to work your way around the device pressing suctions in a row . +I filled the large-size box to capacity with flannel sheets: two queen flat, two queen fitted & four pillow cases and was able to tightly close the lid. +I ordered these sheets and must say was a bit surprised at the thinness of them, esp to be 1500 thread count. +I think for the pricing difference this less expensive Pillow Rest Queen air mattress is the better choice than the more expensive Flocked mattress. +After looking over all of the available food scales on Amazon , I decided that the EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale seemed like the best choice. +They are the perfect width for drying pasta . +I wrap the block in a layer of paper towel and press it... tightening down the screws a little at a time. +I got the wrong size , initially, as did at least one other reviewer of this item. +a BHA-free solution for this. +a second heater to be used in other areas of my home. +The price was great and after 6 months of daily morning and night use it has held up very well. +This is the "best buy" blender recommended by Cook's Illustrated . +We have the Caphalon Pots & Pans, these were a natural addition to our set to make sure our Pots & Pans investment would last!http://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Unison-Nonstick-10-Piece-Cookware/dp/B0028S7R58/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topThese Nylon Utensils protect our cookware, they are very durable, wash well in dishwasher or by hand - (no spotting / falling apart as other reviewers have stated). +It's disappointing and bothersome to buy two gifts when one starts to fall apart and the other is broken from day one . +The lightweight, double-walled borosilicate glass mug keeps your tea warm, while the included tea bag buddy makes squeezing the bag much less uncomfortable (no more burning fingers) and gives you a place to put it for the time being. +I could not get to it without taking apart the entire machine .I was very happy today when I put it in the dumpster. +I've used it to carry 10 inch diameter pies without any problems, so don't be put off by the "9 inch pie plate" specification. +I recently bought a nice ( red ) KA stand mixer which came with a dough hook, paddle and whip. +I looked for the one I bought but I couldn't find it as I purchased it at the outlet and they did not carry them any longer. +The coating is not sprayed as with other pans, so it is a bit thicker in places. +I've since learned the trick to not breaking them is to avoid twisting the stem/base while drying the glass. +The bottom piece impresses a dimple into the burgers, so they cook more evenly and don't puff up in the middle. +I have used a Vitamix in the past (one of their top of the line with lots of settings, etc.) +My only concern is that it seems very light weight and possibly easy to "break" unless handled carefully. +I ordered this product from United Vacuums . +Instructions are sensible and simple , and most are affixed to the can itself. +What a shame having to throw away an almost brand new heater in the trash ! +I purchased it to go with a few other odd sized Farberware pieces I was given and it matches perfectly ! +Nothing says redneck like mason jars, except maybe duck tape. +so it's pretty indestructible ( I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented ). +I received the package with a few cracks in some of the plates but getting the replacement was fairly hassle-free. +Doesn't seem to burn the coffee when left on the burner for several hours. +(My drive is about 45 minutes ).They also hold way more than the store bags and are VERY sturdy. +No assembly needed just take it out the box, set up the feet and turn the knob at the top to open the arms. +I have one tiny closet to hold my vacuum, ironing board, cleaning chemicals, and all the things needed to clean my house and the things in it, We were really having issues with the closet getting over-crowded and things falling on top of each other, and this was one of the things we bought to try to organize it. +I have the freedoms to use the mini canister vac for quick kitchen, or to extend to my volume ceiling, without having to drag around the bulk of the big vac. +The "keep warm" feature is also great since I've been making a larger pot of tea , and then coming back for refills on days and afternoons when I'm at home or on the weekends. +Secondly, contrary to previous poster, we need to set it at five to get toasted browned bread. +I bought 2 CAI Tylose Powder a few months ago . +Well over a year's worth of solid performance doesn't seem unreasonable for $15 , so although we'd be happier if it were more durable, we like the way it works otherwise and I don't see any better options so am about to just order one more. +I like having a big heavy duty nonstick pot for pasta and it works great for cooking soups and stews. +The recipes that came with it are fantastic . +My favorite thing about these mitts is that they can get completely wet on the outside but still remain dry on the inside because of the silicone exterior and cloth-padded interior, providing both utility and comfort. +The lightweight, double-walled borosilicate glass mug keeps your tea warm, while the included tea bag buddy makes squeezing the bag much less uncomfortable (no more burning fingers) +Its only 2 inches tall so standing big bottles/long brushes doesn't work well. +BUT, just one thing I hated: THERE'S A LITTLE SPACE where the handle meets the blade . +Clean up was easier than easy (I did spray it with vegetable oil first). +Sometimes I would use my hands and have to pick, pick at all the stragglers. +The filters and the turbine get filthy very fast. +That is not an issue for me as I have a glass cooktop , but some might find it very annoying. +It's worth knowing that unlike many scrapers this one relies on being sharp instead of being thin and flexible to scrape. +It has a knob for settings, crumb tray, and looks just like (maybe even better) than the picture. +We have two shedding cats and I did not notice any problems with pet hair gumming up the machine.6) Removable attachment caddy is convenient, and makes the cleaner more lightweight when removed. +After five seconds of that inadequacy, I went and washed the Victorinox knife, and the rest of my slicing was quick, effortless, and flawless. +I am a big fan of this one. +I love baking my own bread and needed something to help me cut the slices evenly. +These come quickly and with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. +if I didn't have to empty the water storage container after every use . +My wife and I are pleased with results our favorite is freid catfish and hushpuppies. +I've used it to froth up some regular milk, and have tried it as well with rice milk . +I had no leaking and everything was very well blended .Owned it for one day, no regrets about my purchase. +They cut a zig-zag edge, which helps prevent fraying . +The only problem with that is the that it cooks too hot . +I bought this container after I took vegetable soup in its supermarket container to work, and the lid came loose. +It's a pity because these units DO work well and they are wonderfully compact--why we bought them in the first place. +To sum them all up, this vacuum is hard to maneuver and absolutely will not get into or under small places because the nozzle is too wide and too high . +I know a product should only get 5 stars if I have no dislikes, but this met my requirements for it 100% . +I made the mistake by buying a different brand of coffee maker when my old Braun needed replacing. +a 5 star rating from me. +I use mine as a garbage can in the kitchen and I love it. +It replaced a 10 year old canister model (Kenmore) that never had this much pickup power. I bought two of these mugs, one with a handle, one without. -First, within the first week of owning it, the handle cracked and split. -Functionally, this thermos travel mug works great. -I'm finding that in our area, the price of CO2 seems to be higher than other reviewers. -It cost $6 to fill a 24oz tank, -It cost $6 to fill a 24oz tank, but it's still way better than $15/14.5oz without the sodamod. -I realize it's WAY over priced . -This vacuum has no option to stop the brush from spinning for doing hard floors, it's really only for carpet. -We have 5 long haired dogs and a completely carpeted lower floor. -The suction is pretty good, it got up a lot of hair, but the suction of the hose is terrible. -The suction is pretty good, it got up a lot of hair, but the suction of the hose is terrible. -Plus is it just more hygienic . -We bought this cover for our mattresses at home . -When we are not using it, we are renting it out or lending it to friends / colleagues and we want the mattresses to last forever . -Our youngest has had many accidents on it -I have gotten tremendous use out these cappuccino glasses . -These are dishwasher safe, however I recommend putting them in the bottom rack and using a little bit of JetDry with your cycle just to make sure they get fully cleaned and sparkle. -These are dishwasher safe, however I recommend putting them in the bottom rack and using a little bit of JetDry with your cycle just to make sure they get fully cleaned and sparkle. -I also use them to crack eggs in; they're perfect for holding at least 2 eggs because they are see-through and because of the slightly oversized top of the glasses which include an elongated lip. -I have also used these glasses to serve mini parfaits in. -The humidifier is easy to clean and has no 90 degree angles that are impossible to clean with a q-tip . -My daughter loves the pink pig design and most importantly it does a great job of humidifying her room which is probably 14x14 or thereabouts. -Update - broke after 3 months . -The owl humidifier I got for my son's room made by a different manufacturer still works OK. -The humidifier is easy to clean and has no 90 degree angles that are impossible to clean with a q-tip. -Love this elegant glass mug for my tea! -Love this elegant glass mug for my tea ! -The design is so very simple yet so very elegant yet the glass is nice and thick. -the double wall of glass does help keep my tea hot and keep my glass from sweating. -sometimes I find myself wishing it was a little bit bigger . -I purchased this ice cream maker in 2007 (winter) for $39.99 but did not use it until summer of 2008. -I purchased this ice cream maker in 2007 (winter) for $39.99 but did not use it until summer of 2008. -I purchased this ice cream maker in 2007 (winter) for $39.99 but did not use it until summer of 2008. -There were problems with the older model after 5 years of use (and it is still going with problem noted). -I would not buy the GVS142 again. -Was trying to justify spending a lot of money for a set of All Clad cookware . -All Clad is consistently rated tops . -I am a intermediate level cook. -I purchased the 13 piece set and was wowed! -When cooking with these pots and pans, it is crucial to preheat them on medium heat . -I was a little concerned since this thermos is more slender than the one it was replacing. -Both this and the other one were 16 oz bottles, so I was concerned about the insulating power of the more slender thermos. -I always preheat any thermos with boiling water and put the cap on and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before putting hot coffee in. -Both this and the other one were 16 oz bottles, so I was concerned about the insulating power of the more slender thermos. -I always preheat any thermos with boiling water and put the cap on and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before putting hot coffee in. -I purchased this vacuum as we had moved house and our old vacuum had breathed it last the day we moved out . -However being slightly short on cash I couldn't get the one I wanted and decided that this looked like the best option for the price . -I have in the past had bag-less vacuums and wasn't looking forward to having a bag again. -I have had to change the bag once and have found it very easy to do. -Lighter would be great but under $100 what do you expect. -I've only had it for a couple days , but I'm sure I've used it at least 10 times since then (I drink a lot of tea, and need hot water for other reasons).It heats water fast, shuts off timely after boil, stays hot. -I've only had it for a couple days, but I'm sure I've used it at least 10 times since then (I drink a lot of tea, and need hot water for other reasons).It heats water fast, shuts off timely after boil, stays hot. +My coffee really does seem better at 175F (aeropress).In use though, you have to 'learn it'. +I've used it to cover a pan when frying to prevent splatters , and also as a flour sifter.

I nearly broke a thumbnail getting off the clear brand label on the side of the container, and I had to soak the UPC label on the bottom for an hour before I could scratch it off with one of my remaining fingernails. -Then it took 3 (three) treatments with Goo Be Gone to get the remaining glue off the canister. -But it's from China , so only time will tell if that's true. -The salt shaker seems well made, and it's 18/8 stainless , according to the information stamped on the bottom. -I nearly broke a thumbnail getting off the clear brand label on the side of the container, and I had to soak the UPC label on the bottom for an hour before I could scratch it off with one of my remaining fingernails. -The office where I work has a "coffee club" which means for a set monthly price you get generic watered down coffee . -Easy setup, ease of use, automatic shut off which make the safety team happy, 48-ounce removable water reservoir holds up to eight cups of water which is no problem because the "water club" and filtered water is literally two steps away. -So in a workers revolt, a Keurig B60 Special Edition was purchased. -The three size options work perfectly for our group. -Finally, one less thing to complain about and now our conversations can move onto the more important things like - pens . -Viewing angle really bad, have to be pretty much directly in front to read. -Alarm is mild , wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise. -Alarm is mild, wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise. -There is no way to clear, as far as I can tell, but it's not a big deal because you can just hold the minute button in and it will do the super-fast scroll to 99 then to zero to start over. -just hold the minute button in and it will do the super-fast scroll to 99 then to zero to start over. -This is an inexpensive alternative to the higher priced French ovens . -Unlike the French ovens, this one has little spikes on the inside of the lid which serve to baste the food as it roasts. -Oddly, the persimmon color darkens to a very dark orange with heat, but it returns to its original color as the pot cools. -The pot's outside is entirely enameled and the bottom is flat , so it could be used on a ceramic stove top without risk of scratches. -The pot's outside is entirely enameled and the bottom is flat, so it could be used on a ceramic stove top without risk of scratches. -I had a French press years ago but gave up on it because everything was trial & error --- no directions were included. -I had a French press years ago but gave up on it because everything was trial & error --- no directions were included. -I had a French press years ago but gave up on it because everything was trial & error --- no directions were included. -I have found this French press very beneficial because it makes great coffee cheaper than my K-cup machine . -I normally make a 16 oz cup of coffee with this French Press while drinking a K-cup. -I ordered 2 of these mitts and I love them!

The extension part is a bit weak. +I was given a set of four Rachael Ray Dinnerware Little Hoot and the Snowman plates to review, and I think they are very nice. +This grater fits my needs 100% and not only does it do a wonderful job on potatoes but it made short work of a block of cheese I grated for baked mac & cheese. +I bought one of these in early October 2013 to make treats for my dogs - no more "made in China" for me. +I would but I own 2 of these thermoses and they both do it +I purchased quart size canning jars this year for the purpose of storing dry goods and leftovers and an attempt to avoid so much plastic in my life. +Use recycled lids from store-bought mayo or salad dressing . +The Cuisinart heats quicker and cooks much better even though they are the same wattage. +I think it will last me a very long time. +I did follow the directions, as most of the pieces basically snap together. +I found this mill easy to set up and has, thus far, worked reliably for grinding wheat and rye. The resulting bread has been very tasty (and hopefully healthy as well).The mill is loud (I guess that's why they rebranded from "Whisper Mill"), but I've never seen a mill that wasn't. +We knew of the reusable K-cups since we know a few people who own keurigs but I didn't want to go with a copy cat brand , I wanted it to be keurig brand. +After the party I've used these as my recycling bags that I keep in my pantry and garage. +Bought this to compare to my roomba 560 that I have been using for 3 years. +We have owned our Acme since approximately 1978 , give or take a year or two. +(I do have three Rottweilers , so we don't lack for hair on the floor). +I had used our central vac a week ago and I still filled the container twice . +I really like these, I orde red them in red. +You just pour hot water over the tea bags , then let it chill down in the fridge. +I inspected the pieces of wood as I removed them from the box and noticed a split on the front piece to the left of the keyboard door . +i wanted an electric kettle , but landed up ordering this as i thought this was multi-functional and could be used to boil eggs etc as well. +I didn't hang it on the back of a door I actually mounted it to a wall in three separate sections. +I used the 2nd slot for a newer top of the line J A Henckels chef knife, and both slots for dull Pampered Chef, Anolon and Martha Stewart knives. +Forgiving if it was $20, but for a $50 two-piece shaker, it's a deal breaker because you expect so much more. +If you're juicing leafy green veggies and such, you don't have to clean this product after every use, only if you add in fruit .Cleanup is relatively simple, the screen takes a little scrubbing with some soap but cleans up nicely, I haven't had an issue with particles being stuck in the grating, it's all come out very easily with hot water. +When I was a child, my grandma had an outdoor pump at a well to supply her with the water she used in her house work and cooking. +I immediately placed an uncut tomato in it. +The bottoms never warp so it's always even heating, no wolbbling on the burner, food doesn't run to one edge. +I've had my Bissel Vac for about 3 years now and have been using the same filters that came with it-I washed them regularly and they held up well. +This is your standard size curtain that measures 70-inch x 72-inch . +I have tons of Wusthof knives , they're really wonderful and I've had them for years and years. +The unit steams and cleans well when the pads are dry/first used, but once the pads get wet from the steam, which is only after about 10 minutes of cleaning, then it's water water everywhere ! +Must have 4 D batteries and I even got some spare batteries from amazon, also a good deal, in case the batteries run out. +Not all 100% cotton products stay soft, but these have so far. +It boils enough water at once for my 6 cup tea pot or for ramen and because the kettle is not too big, it boils quick. +I do have a few complaints though:- the unit is pretty loud - there is a HUGE discrepancy between the level 6 and 7 (coldest) setting- +It says it will hold a 13-inch pan, but not if it has handles on it ; 13 inches total is the maximum, so measure your pans. +One of the books has recipes and is very bright with color . +Love this elegant glass mug for my tea! +I was worried about this set as I had ordered it without reading reviews (something I rarely, rarely do but I was leaving town and on my way out the door) +I just ordered this with a cover two or three days ago and was not expecting them to arrive so quickly since I picked free shipping .I was pretty sure that king sized blankets/quilts/comforters would have significant overhang when used on a queen sized mattress and sitting under the duvet right now, I'm kind of disappointed. +a wooden spoon to get the needle to respond. +You remove that base, and there are feet under it , just like on the non-foldaway ones. +I am a bit disappointed that the front doors don't quite meet each other . +You'd be so much better off with the smallest size Benriner from Japan like this oneBenriner Japanese Mandoline Slicerand this to protect your fingersMicroplane 34007 Kitchen Cut-Protection Glove. +I am careful when I cook or clean them not to scratch them (out of habit), but overall I am quite pleased. +I purchased a BXB 10c from Amazon about 3 1/2 years ago . +The different size bowls is great to have to mix everything from eggs to pancakes to just plane out cakes! +The tight seal on this really kept the steam and water in as well, but now I’m able to finish it off in the oven without any messy transfer. +Cheap + excellent solution for a very annoying problem. +I think the best thing about the American Innovative Portable Dual-Timer is the batteries ! +I stored two half chicken breasts with sauce easily. Reheating will not only be simply, the small size prevents the food from becoming over-done and dry. +I like the way that the Sistema Klip system holds the tops on the containers. +It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee). +And a great price too !!! +I own two of this size which really come in handy on fried potatoes, bacon and egg weekends. +After switching from a flimsy piece of junk like the Hamilton-Beach I used for years, it is such a pleasure to go to the real McCoy; the Oster . +I use these to heat two rooms in my basement . +I wish the shelf space were deeper . +I painted the frame a dark off-green to go with the color of the face , which is called a 'Moai,' (sculpture) by the Easter Island people. +I like this pillow . +The action of the pepper mill is smooth and the flakes are uniform ; one thing to watch out for is the flow as the pepper comes out rather fast with just a small turn. +It's a bit smaller than most , which I like (carrying 22 ounces of water or more around seems silly to me).The insulation works great. +I was intrigued with this product since it had great reviews from other customers, but I was disappointed . +It is great for scraping cake batter from bowls, scrambling eggs , making a roux......and much much more. +There is a pull out tube is used with the attachments ( there are all the standard extras ). +The lid fits nice and tight and the flat base sits nicely on my cooktop without moving around like my old non-stick pots did!

I guess this pillow is right in the middle and seems to satisfy both of our pillow preferences. +You have to use more milk if you want the ricotta. +I prefer my old time trays which keep the drinks just a cold as the larger cubes. +I, as always, wish it had a retractable cord and nowadays I prefer bagless to these with bags, but as this vacuum comes with HEPA filter bags it's a step above it's competition because of the great filtration they offer. +I use this fan constantly when I am at home, especially for white noise to block out other noise in the home and for sleeping soundly. +It is dishwasher-safe, and the silicone bristles are spaced widely enough for cleaning. +Simply put you have to add water each time you want a cup of coffee.

It took my husband and I about half an hour, and I honestly could have done it myself if I had to. +I hate to pay so much for bags, but I really can see it prolongs the life of the fruit . +The manufacturer suggests the following uses for each surface: green for vegetables, white for bread, blue for fish and red for meat. +Spend the extra $20-30 and get the Lindy's popper. +It is almost exactly like the silicone spatula I am used to, except it has a shallow indention that is very handy with some dishes. +Its minimum bottom size for pot is 12cm (4.7 in). +I throw out the basket as soon as I open the box and fry food directly in the fryer without the basket. +They are top heavy and tthere is no securing that. +Needless to say, I have sold the Cusinart, stopped using the Keurig at the jobsite and have gone back to a real brewer. +With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew , there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! +I'm using this press for tea, loose leaves of course, usually blue flower earl grey or Irish breakfast tea , my two fave flavors. +The lid must be removed to pour . +Nothing says redneck like mason jars , except maybe duck tape. +I think the angle issue is a matter of personal preference rather than a design flaw. +I love my microplane, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that I love this Cusipro Fine Rasp Grater as well! +It has now been 5 weeks and I still have about 1/3 of my tomato AND IT'S STILL FRESH!I really do have a hard time believing how well this little thing works but it dos. +After looking over all of the available food scales on Amazon, I decided that the EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale seemed like the best choice. +When I first opened the box with this "fryer" inside, I was a little intimidated ! +so you can't get a proper grip and second it gets hot enough to burn you (unlike stainless). +I would have given it a score of three, but felt that the presence of little metal slivers on the handle weld spots deserved a lower score ! +I've seen several reviews here and there on the Internet of people stating that their machine stopped dripping after several months of usage . +What I most love is the handle . +It fits across 2 gas burners and works to perfection for pancakes. +I just received my 7qt Lodge cast iron dutch oven this morning, and it is big and beautiful. +The pincer-like holders have a rubbery padding at the tips, so no there's no damage to fabrics from the strong squeeze. +He got it together, but it took a lot of work, two trips to the store, and it required a drill . +They're kind of hard to find in the store, probably because Electrolux disowned the Intensity vacuum (model EL5020A) after having come to the realization themselves that it was terrible. +Arrived super-sharp and ready to go! Gave them a quick wash in hot, soapy water and put them with the rest of our cocktail and entertaining supplies. +I will start by saying that I purchased these for $99 not the $95.99 they are currently listed for. +I received it on a Friday, discovered the issue Saturday and sent an email to Amazon customer service Sunday. +I have a very similar one, but it's about 20 years old. +These smaller ones seem to take forever to turn pink even with a fair amount of humidity. +It's not especially strong palstic , but so far it been holding up well. +I received mine in a timely fashion . +Cooking grade silicone with a sturdy metal handle, just the right size slots, and easy to hold and control. +http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091XNL0I/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1.I eat yogurt every day so usually make a batch and half every weekend.

With hot air . +Overall though, an excellent unit. Highly recommend. +It was made to look like wood that was painted black , but only to the point where wood grain is showing through slightly. +This is unbelievable peeler ..slicer ,graterI m for the most part vegetarian and that peeler is so handy in my kitchen its crazyI do own metal kitchen glove by the way so I often use it together ... +The iron is light-weight , so it is easy to handle and maneuver. +I had had all of my jewelry in a drawer , but it was getting too cramped, so I bought this. +It was quite a pain to put together - my BF had to improvise with some drilling and leveling etc that wasn't part of the instructions, but he got it all together and we love it. +It has a paper seal over the top that you leave on, and no upper basekt like the units I am familiar with (that you can refill). +I am really happy with this Electric Water Kettle. +I have my shaving cream and shaver; a small bottle each of shampoo, conditioner and body wash; my scrubbie pouf, and my foot brush and file all in one place now, and out of the way instead of sitting in all the corners of my big Roman soaking tub . +It feels like nothing is happening. I don't know how you would know if you went over it enough or not.4. +I thought if we washed it , it would be better. +It cuts the top under the lip of your cans so there are never any sharp edges to cut yourself on and it also prevents drips +Works beautifully and cleans wonderfully . +The down-catch got sticky and I started looking for a new toaster, so I'm glad I found this offering to have my positive say. +Because the bristles are not harsh, I also use the brush on my hands to clean off ground-in dirt or paint . +all your favorite jewelry when traveling . +I did a lot of research before buying (we just had an expensive DiLonghi coffee maker die after only 14-15 months and they wouldn't stand behind it)In addition to the features, pricing and the fact that it's stainless, our main decision point for this one was the 3 year warranty. +The good news is that amazon gave me some of my money back -so I just took the hardware off the one set to match it up at the hardware store. +This is very easy to install , I just stuck the 3Ms on the back on the flat parts (i used 4) and stuck the mounting bracket to the wall and slid the dispensers on to it. +But if you want to fill the whole cup with smoothie or something harder (like bananas ) it doesn't fit. +They help me avoid cross-contamination between different kinds of foods and proteins, and help keep my cutting board clean. +Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand. +They have tried different extracts (orange makes it taste like an orange cream pop) and all kinds of nut, coconut, fruit and choc. +The quality seems good , and certainly at this price point it is. +This trash can is what I consider medium sized as I use a 39 gallon metal one a local store painted for my trash - 6 people = 1 black trash bag per day. +We ( coonasses ) live in Louisiana and love too cook, these pots once seasoned, cook great and last forever ... +The 900 watts shines. +Was a little hesitant to purchase due to some of the negative comments posted here +Combine with LiquidAss fart spray (which I also reviewed) to create a unique experience. +Some might think the material is too thin . +I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded, and two others had strings hanging from them. +Shelves are easily adjustable , and the unit has self-leveling feet so if your floor (or wherever you place this) is uneven, you can easily fix the shelf for stability. +I had it up and ready to go in less than two minutes , and that included opening the box. +Found starting with hot water makes a much better brew - less time on the stove. +It's not as aesthetically pleasing as myCuisinart CPT-160, but does a better job of toasting than Cuisinart's more expensive model . +The Great Room where I use it is probably bigger than what this humidifier can handle, but it seems to at least get the humidity above 30%, which is far better than the 25% we sometimes get in the winter. +I've been looking for ages for a replacement for my crank-style nut grinder , without any luck. +I'm giving it four rather than five stars because there has got to be a flaw with the design . +I found this bowl very light to hold in the arm for whisking or stirring. +This faithful little egg cooker works great. The heater panel is paintable so it will fit your decor if you spend the time painting it. -The installation was a snap and included everything needed (except the power drill).I am not sure how well this heater would work in larger room -(Maybe 60 sqft ) It works really well to keep the chill out of the room, especially with the door closed. -I own four indoor cats, so believe me when I tell you this steam mop works wonders. -LOVE:uses plain old tap water , so you don't have to worry about chemicle residuemop pads are machine washable and resusable, so there's no waste and nothing to buyease of use / a real back saver, no scrubbing involvedleaves floors cleaner than regular mopping EVER didextremely light-weightmop head swivels which makes getting hard to reach places (around toilet, under furniture) -LOVE:uses plain old tap water, so you don't have to worry about chemicle residuemop pads are machine washable and resusable, so there's no waste and nothing to buyease of use / a real back saver, no scrubbing involvedleaves floors cleaner than regular mopping EVER didextremely light-weightmop head swivels which makes getting hard to reach places (around toilet, under furniture) -LOVE:uses plain old tap water, so you don't have to worry about chemicle residuemop pads are machine washable and resusable, so there's no waste and nothing to buyease of use / a real back saver, no scrubbing involved leaves floors cleaner than regular mopping EVER didextremely light-weightmop head swivels which makes getting hard to reach places (around toilet, under furniture) -When our can opener broke, I hopped on Amazon to look for a new one. -I have never seen another product on Amazon that has such a high percentage of 5-star reviews plus a respectable number of reviews. -This thing cuts through cans like butter . -It's smooth and easy to use, and with the all-metal construction, I do not see this thing breaking anytime soon. -This mattress arrived in a rectangular box that was in perfect condition (I say this because there are some reviews of the box being damaged). -We unwrapped it and watched it grow . -I didn't purchase a new platform; instead, it sits on my not-too-old box spring which is fine. -Now, I love a firm mattress, but it conforms to my body only a little. -So, I purchased a topper - material-filled (down, or something like it); not foam - and it does make somewhat of a difference.. -...first off dont even attempt to fry eggs in this skillet for at least 2 weeks of using....when i recived mine i washed well in hot water, even tho it seasoned your gonna wanna do it theright way...after washing put on top stove to dry,then cooked bacon in it, you are gonna wanna useanimal fat as much as possiable.....it did stick -put in oven at 500degrees , expect some smoking, just have fans ready, for1 hr...turn oven off, i did this like 3-4 times...thencooked fried potatoes with onions ,worked great, friedan egg and it slid off pan...great pan, just got dutch oven too... -...first off dont even attempt to fry eggsin this skillet for at least 2 weeks of using....when i recived mine i washed well in hot water, even tho it seasoned your gonna wanna do it theright way...after washing put on top stove to dry,then cooked bacon in it, you are gonna wanna use animal fat as much as possiable.....it did stick -...first off dont even attempt to fry eggsin this skillet for at least 2 weeks of using....when i recived mine i washed well in hot water, even tho it seasoned your gonna wanna do it theright way...after washing put on top stove to dry,then cooked bacon in it , you are gonna wanna useanimal fat as much as possiable.....it did stick -but thats toobe expected with first time use, then i towel dryedthe extra grease and added lard....put in oven at 500degrees, expect some smoking, just have fans ready, for1 hr...turn oven off, i did this like 3-4 times...thencooked fried potatoes with onions ,worked great, friedan egg and it slid off pan...great pan, just got dutch oven too... -I bought this only 2 and half months ago and have used it maybe 4 or 5 times (I mostly only iron when I sew and I have been too busy to sew lately). -When I looked at the lcd display, I saw that every available option was highlighted , including the pause lights. -I bought this only 2 and half months ago and have used it maybe 4 or 5 times (I mostly only iron when I sew and I have been too busy to sew lately). -When I came back to it later, I noticed the handle was warm to the touch. -I have all Kitchen aid products . +A big design change is the new scrubber's ability to extend to hard-to-reach areas. I like that. +I purchased the rose colored one which has a soft, iridescent, pearly rose tint to it and I've gotten several compliments on it, but I don't think the presentation alone is worth $26.99 . +It is also delightful to have a bagged vacuum again that allows me to vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag, unlike the Dyson which had to be emptied three times for one cleaning. +I gave it only 4 stars because of a potential safety issue - the second time I used this mixer I forgot to plug it in - I'd pushed the ON button & the speed button before I realized that it wasn't plugged in & when I plugged it in the mixer immediately began to run (spattering cake batter everywhere!). +The metal is thicker than cookie cutters for sure. +I have been using my mat for about three weeks now and am very impressed. +The Yube Cube Modular furniture system is a little challenging to assemble. +the surfaces are very smooth so my hand just slides around the jar . +It takes 5-10 minutes to brew a full pitcher, which is then ready to drink right away, nice and chilled. +Not convenient at all. So I returned the dustbuster. +I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid-thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done. +What I like best about these is the oval shape that really does fit into tight places. +I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion. +bought this for my dad/grandpa when he sleeps over and visits sometimes which is at least once a week since we bought this. +I was relieved to get this from amazon and the difference is unbelievable. +I just bought a 20 dollar unit from Faberware. +If this thing had smooth inner walls, I'd give it 5 (or even 6 ) stars, but having a snag-y interior seems like a big oversight for a trash can. +I suppose it will save on having to start your oven, and the muffins do cook faster and cleanup is quicker. +And, I was skeptical about the Cole & Mason Nutmeg Grinder until I used it. +The coating on the racks are textured and not smooth to help shoes from sliding and the adjustable racks help accomodate different types of shoes. +The company was contacted and they replaced the device without question, mainly because others had also complained about the fan. +My primary use is for the tile in my kitchen (and possibly for two bathrooms). +It's still new - so I hope that it stays rust free - it's supposed to though and I'll update this if it doesn't. +I own two other rice cookers and this is the best and my favorite. +This rack is thin and lightweight and to be honest, I wondered if it would hold my spices without the clips breaking or coming off the base; not a problem. +It maneuvers fairly easily, emptying it is child's play - I agree the wand is somewhat awkward until you get the hang of it, and the handle is a bit uncomfortable to MY hand to use for any length of time , but overall I still rate it a 5 out of 5 stars. +I cannot think of any negatives for this pan (I cannot say the same for another no-name brand pan that will be tossed out as soon as I get my 2nd Anolon ) +It could have been worse - I'm thankful it was not!Thank you Amazon for helping in this matter. +The shield is dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 450 degrees F. +They feel good in your hand , and their style is classic. +It also features and on/off switch which a lot fo the others out there do not so you can save on some batteries, even though the draw is minimal as I use this thing a lot and am still on the same battery (thankfully it only uses 1 AAA and comes with it). +This one has quite a bit of squishy silicone near the tip that just bends when you try to mix something. +We've been using them for a three months now and they are AWESOME!--The handels are strong and hold tough even when they are packed heavy.--The plastic inserts show zero signs of cracking or wearing out.--The vibrant colors are fun and help remind me to grab them from the back seat of my car (where they "live")--They ARE washable! +If you want to stack them more than two high you will definitely need to anchor the sides to a wall . +They are lightweight which I love, who needs a bulky, heavy cover? They let out steam if need be and they are easy to clean. +This one is better because of the generous compartments and the padding that keeps things from moving and rattling. +I wish i had had a mother to tell me about these pans . +It holds on to your tea bag while the hot water works its magic on the tea.(2) +The top cap serves as a cup .- +Other improvements are a move from a cylindrical shape to one better aimed at digging, and a unibody design in favor of a separate handle spot welded to the cup. +I found that I could not remove my Lodge cast iron skillet from the oven using one of these, it took two. +Yes, perhaps the construction doesn't match the price which I do feel is a little steep , but the table gives you room, comfort and ease which is a real plus. +Another reviewer here had mentioned that the Contigo mug she had did not keep hot for the 4 hours indicated. +If you work in the medical industry you need this mug . +In our household, we use long spoons for everything: ice cream (even out of the pint container <g>, ice-cream sodas and tall glasses, smoothies, health drinks, and, of course, iced tea. +I use them as support for my other pillows against the headboard . +What separates them, well the Cuisinart Ice-21 is a bit more handsome and a bit better built for a few extra bucks. +so I got this higher end Grand Prix II to compare with it. +Tends to overheat if used with hard nuts or continuously for about 20 to 30 minutes. +My one beef with the mat is pricing ...it seems pretty pricey for a mat. +I have been experimenting with pizza making for a few years . +The handles are sturdy enough not to bend when measuring brown sugar or other "heavy" ingredients. +A quick scan of what is available in ceiling fans let me know I must be careful with any choice I make because of the current status of our electric light bulb choices here in the good old US of A. In the meantime, I needed a fan in the kitchen, and I found this one which is great for what I need. +It's one piece and everything washes off easily (event the super melted cheese). +It really detracts from the sleek look of the kettle, and there's no spot in my kitchen where it doesn't look bad . +Blendtec Pros - Smaller footprint, less counter space, programmed settings, so you don't have to stand there and crank up the speed, you can do other things, if not done hit it again, Doesn't walk around on the counter much ( The VM with the programmed settings which I tried, was horrible about this) +Now, I absolutely must comment on the absolutely beautiful manner of packaging. +This Swiss-made, hefty ice cream scoop with the ergonomic handle is just the thing for making problematically hard batches of ice cream easily yield their goodness to ice cream lovers everywhere scoop by delicious scoop. +We bought this for use for sleepovers at his Oma's as she doesn't like keeping our son ( almost 2.5 ) 's crib up and it's a pain to put it up everytime, and now that we've converted his home crib to a toddler bed he hate's being contained.... +I tried these years ago and they work just great. +Such is the case here with these thoughtfully designed measuring cups .As it happens, I had the older version of this cup in my kitchen cabinet (see photo), and while I didn't have quite the strong negative reaction those early reviewers had, the deficiencies of having a handle a 3 year old could curl out of shape were pretty obvious. +I think Hamilton Beach makes a great product, and most reviewers agree. +KGHarris, 11/12 . +Grocery store plastic bags fit perfectly in it, but be careful when you pull them out. +The suction is really good. +Milk, Half and half etc all worked perfectly for us. +My only comment is if you use it with a hot pan , it also gets hot, so be careful not to touch it except at the handle. +My husband and I keep stash of healthy leftovers in 2 cup round glass containers in the freezer to grab and go. +It feeds enough for at least 4 people and worked wonderfully. +You want to make real muffins for a change instead of those tiny things that we grew up with, well this is the pan for you. +I purchased one of these two years ago then a 2nd unit last year. +It doesn't leak a substantial amount, but it makes a mess and is a pain to clean because it gets between the plastic and the machine . +Also try stainless straws to add to your "reusable" homeEndurance Drink Straws (set of 4)bar. +Or 2 large steaks. +The water that collected during cooking did not drip into the reservoir, but stayed in the rim of the pan . +I had a problem at about the one year point with the handle . +I ordered this pillow because I was sick of the department store pillows going flat after a few months of use. +For instance, it's hard to do long-sleeve blouses without holding out the sleeve, risking a steam burn. +Makes very good coffee from dozens of options available. +less mess lol. +They seem to be very durable for glass, the sizes are very handy for storing leftovers and taking your lunch to work, the lids fit well, I don't have to worry about horrible chemicals leaching like plastic containers, and best of all they're one of the few things I can find that are still made in the USA. +I feel that any over tightening will crack the thin plastic. +Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensiveBodum Chambordcoffee press over this far more affordable plastic model. +I learned how to make pasta by hand a couple of years ago - and that included using a hand crank pasta machine bolted to my kitchen counter. +Not what I expected until I realized that it was made in China . +If no update you can assume it's working great a year later.(Note: we have not tried it on potatoes .) +I also don't need to ever grease a pan with butter or pam, which saves more money . +I ended up purchasing three of these (think 50ish shoes including winter boots, hiking boots, high heels, sandals, flip-flop, tennis shoes...the whole gamut) and I really like them. +I really like that the lid is spring loaded so when you open it, it stays open and doesn't flop down while you are drinking and bash you on the nose. +Wanted so much to use this for basic uses brown rice and beans . +I've always wanted a home distillation unit . +It presses nice and tight and flat to the wall so it's a spacesaver in my dining room . +I moved the little rubber feet from the ends of the legs to 3" in from the edge, which allowed me to hang the stand 2.5" off the back of my credenza to make room to place a dialog speaker in front of the stand. +I bought this for a friend to use at her barn to make her horse soup in the winter. +I don't want to have to spend hundreds of dollars on a grinder and screw with the grinds , I just want it to produce a decent cup using commercially available ground espresso. +but I was hoping that by spending extra time initially I would make sure the board was well oiled and would last . +The finish appears to be a very good quality. +You'd have to flip your pillow over to go to the other side b/c the longer side is supposed to stay on your back . +UPDATE: Pitted against "conventional" Cuisinart and Gevalia 12 cup coffee machines, and using brown filters, the equivalent density of coffee from the press is totally unacceptable to my taste. +Yet, I brought this primarily for breakfast and it's hard to fit 3 thick slices of bacon and two eggs on there. +With this Duxtop 1800 Watts cooktop (very powerful) one can cook faster everything, boil water for pasta or vegetables, sear a steak, cook bacon etc. +This knife creates efficiency, swiftly gliding through squash and potatoes . +My only caution would be to make sure you have a safe place to store lids while drying, as they do resemble lids from other types of bottles and with 'helpers' around they could easily end up in the recycling or the trash ! +I tried the Nutribullet 600 and 900 watt models, and although they are powerful and make great smoothies, they are 5 to 8 times more expensive than this little guy, which works just fine. +the freon that is sealed into the one piece die cast aluminum is warmed by your hand which warms the freon inside (you can hear it when you shake the scoop) and the freon gently warms the cup of the scoop allowing for easy release of the ice cream. +This looks great and functions well. +This is a situation I almost never run into, so, if I could, I'd give this product 4.5 stars. +They were right, it was difficult especially when there were parts missing and the holes did not line up . +They are great in the microwave and don't break easily. +I have long preferred silicone bakeware to traditional metal because of easy release of baked goods and quick cleanup, but this was my first foray into whimsically moulded silicone pans. +This bread pan is exactly what it says. +When I decided to do a through cleaning at home (moving all the furniture, lifting the bed), I knew I needed something other than my standup vac (which is very powerful but lacks vac tools ). +The white color of the rubber blade doesn't leave any marks on our glass, tiles or grout like some of the black bladed ones have in the past. +I compared the two and the old scale was off by whole ounces. That is huge when it comes to dense calorie foods. +Have not tried it with bath full yet, hoping for the best. +It is so easy to get the ice cubes out that I barely need to twist the tray!I will definitely being buying more of these! +The pan is nice and sturdy, I wish the sides were just a bit taller , but it still worked for my recipe. +This t-fal seems to be sturdy with all the features I want as for adjusting the heat and steam and with the added protection of the nonstick bottom which lets the iron even at its hottest just glide over the fabric (you do need to use only low heat on many synthetics though).It is a good iron for the fabric worker and homemaker and others using materials/fabric, such as cotton, rayon, some silks on low etc. +I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion . +A twist of the wrist removes the wrap at top of bottle. +This just arrived, and I tested it with 4 strips of bacon and just one stand centered in the black drip pan.4 thick-cut slices of bacon took approximately 3-5 minutes of cook time. I kept adding 30 seconds and watching the bacon in between. +Amazon reviews used to allow a link to other products on their site but evidently doesn't any more so if you want to copy & paste the link, here it is:http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HM83X2/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1I used the roaster for the first time yesterday and it fit a large chicken with potatoes and carrots nicely. +And the material is super light weight, but strong . +I would recommend this to family and friends, and the Amazaon price was marvelous . +It still cooks all the way through but I really wish it was more even. +Others might have a better success with this device than I do, but right now I would not recommend it to the lactose-intolerant types. +I bought this just about a year ago when undergoing a kitchen renovation when I needed some way of cooking other than a microwave and b/c I had no stove on which to cook. +I suppose that this is nice for things like picnics, informal get-togethers, etc. , but if you're really going to a fancy holiday party, this guy just WON't be appropriate. +The desk arrived within days , to which I was very pleased. +My recipe:10 lbs pork shoulder2 lbs bacon (unsliced)2 lbs ultra-sharp cheddar (shredded)2 tbs ground fennel2 tbs ground corriander2 tbs ginger1 tbs ground mustard1 tbs chili powder2 tbs red flake pepper1/4 cup watersprinkling of saltUse natural hog casings and your all set. +I like it very much and am VERY glad I ordered it. +The foam came rolled up tightly in a box and upon unrolling it and giving it time to air out (new smell dissipated within 24 hours) and return to its mattress form, it works great for our granddaughters bed. +I have seven cats and a combination of hardwood and carpeting in my home and this is the first cordless that I have found to pick up both cat hair on the carpet and on bare floors. +The ExcelSteel is no exception. +One of my very favorite kitchen utensils is a good silicone spatula. +I do not use the julienne tool but the peeler alone is worth the money. +It was fairly easy to install but still required a bit of ingenuity as the side panels were a bit of a challenge. +I bought the Royal Hotel 800 thread count king size duvet cover which fit perfectly with this king size insert. +It was delivered quickly . +a 1 year warranty) in the long run, +I might buy something like this again, but it would have to be sturdier. +It pays to start with fresher beans and a lighter roast than you might be used to, and experiment to determine how strong you like it. +and also.....EASY to clean!My wife and I can make a gallon of juice in a matter of a few minutes, and the 4 parts of the juicer that need to be cleaned (besides the juice pitcher) can be cleaned in about 5 minutes . +You want the cooker to be able to be regulated and also to keep things warm especially in our family where we have 6 grown children plus their assorted husbands/wives/significant others plus 3 grandchildren ! +So while I was very happy with the first use, not so much the second use and I will see now that I think I fixed the problem what happens the third time. +So now the shower curtain catches in the drawer all the time +It's a poster, no more no less. +For those of us who can't use a regular shower caddy (e.g. with a claw foot tub ) and need to hang something on the shower rod, this works as advertised. +And by the time I leave for work to pour the last cup, it isn't even warm . +The top sheet is tiny. It barely tucks in at the end (my mattress is thick +There has been no shrinking in the washer/ dryer and it's very effective at protecting our mattress, even from an attack of a toddler "accident"- leaving our mattress pee free! +The Kitchenaid makes an 18 ounce mug of very hot coffee. +They have lately branched out into the bathroom , to very good effect. +I chose a great rating for this product because they're inexpensive, lightweight and work just great with cotton candy . +It's very convenient, easy to fill, and the water actually boils , which is essential for good tea. +Best money I have spent yet on baking accessories!Just flour both sides, pat a little flour on dough and put it in, zip it up and roll it out. +They are also one of the top ranked towel products if you search on Amazon in Home and Kitchen under bath towels and sort by stars, which is what I did to find them in the first place. +I like the spinning mechanism in the frother better than the Keurig, b/c it is easier to clean, and it doesn't burn the milk unlike the Keurig. +The Deni 5600 Yogurt Maker is a good product, especially considering the price. +I used tap water filtered through a Walgreens pitcher filter with a Culligan cartridge in it and the beer tasted very good to me. +Basically the inner part of the cup opens for easier cleaning. +We found a cheap $2 pillowcase at Wally World that fits perfectly. +immediately sent me out a replacement and I had it in less than 2 days; but the replacement had even less packing and had similar but smaller dents from banging around inside the box. +First let me quantify my delight, I am a mom of 3 boys under 5 years old who love to help themselves. +It had very little suction and clogged up quickly (you'd think with so little suction that wouldn't happen, but anyway.) +The Meyers lemons had unusually thick rinds, but the OXO still got plenty of juice out. +I decided that I would buy another set for a queen bed in my guest room . +It is very strong. It holds a lot.

The cleaning wand pops right out and makes it so easy to switch between tasks and get anything the brushroll can't quite reach. -It's so nice to be able to get the floor clean without aggravating my allergies and/or asthma! -If you are on a budget I can definitely recommend these, all you need is included in the bag at an affordable price and the pattern on the comforter will look great in your room if combined correctly with furniture and accessories. -Two things came to our attention after getting this out of its bag, the pattern looks great and the comforter is not as soft as we expected (based on prior experiences of course)For the price, you cannot go wrong with this set, the Queen size (which we ordered) includes the fitted sheet, flat sheet, the comforter, 2 pillowcases, and 2 shams.

In short, it does the job it's supposed to do, and does it easily and smoothly. -This is one dandy can opener. -Even if you're not old enough to remember Joe DiMaggio pitching for Mr. Coffee, you can appreciate the gold standard of "regular" coffee makers. -Bottom line: the coffee tastes great , the machine operates easily, and for those who need that first cup ready when stumbling into the morning kitchen, a real winner. -Cleaning has been a problem with these units before; but the newest edition seems to have made the process easier. -The price is also highly competitive , and you get much for your money. -The clock, programming, auto shut off are all one needs and would expect. -I use the pinch spoon to measure a powdered medication for my little dog Moosey. -I use the pinch spoon to measure a powdered medication for my little dog Moosey . -I don't want to overdose him with a careless shake and this works great. -Stainless steel is sanitary and long lasting. -Bad things: You have to hold the spout open to pour, which is a pain. -Good things: It is pretty, and I think stays cleaner than a stainless steel kettle , both inside and outside. -The handle is such that you must always protect your hand when pouring with a cloth, or you will get burned every time. -Often the Whistle does not work . -The top is very tight, but still does not seal properly . -When I opened the box it looked like it might be difficult to assemble, but it was really easy!

that she wanted an electric skillet for Christmas -Told the wife to measure and be sure of the size she wanted and she chose the 16 inch . -The only problem we have found is that the wife didn't quite do her homework and we find that this big guy takes a LOT of counter space and storage space . -so I did a ton of research on Amazon and this one had the best and most believable ratings I could find. -However, we have decided that it is worth it and we will never want for a great turkey cooker if all the family drops in for a Christmas dinner. -Warm up time is usually like 10 mins , but it keeps heat and pressure consistent thereafter, even with continual trigger. -A full 48oz tank lasts long enough for me to do the entire large kitchen floor thoroughly. -The number of attachments is both a blessing and a curse because with versatility comes the inability to store this machine anywhere. -Grout gets slightly cleaner, but works best if pretreated with a detergent .The number of attachments

tea maker from T-fal that I bought in France -This kettle has a French press setting . -I purchased 4 of these to align side by side and two on top. -The first one took the longest as it took me a moment to realize what the easiest method was to attack it. -Now, I absolutely must comment on the absolutely beautiful manner of packaging. -Works perfect for separating out everyone's shoes, winter hats , and left room to store the boys' backpacks and even set up a framed picture and a beloved knickknack. -The long story short, very nice shelves, nice finish on them, sturdy, well made, solid wood (ya baby) and works perfectly for my needs. -This is an absolutely perfect size. -It is not so big that you won't find a place to store it, but large enough to hold a bunch of angel hair pasta that would slip right out of the little holes in a traditional colander . -It doesn't say in the description, but this is a double weave strainer . -In other words, there are two layers of thin metal mesh to ensure even the smallest seeds and particles are caught in the net. -It has a traditional soft black rubber Oxo handle, too. -I bought these stands to hold my rear surround speakers and keep them at ear level. -I am satisfied with the stands and how they function but one of the stands cannot be threaded into the base . -3 Stars because one stand is defective, but I still recommend these

to me. -I JUST ordered another model and will give this one away to the Salvation Army . -So with new filter I am figuring there is some kind of leak in the construction so a large amount of tap gets through. -The second Brita pitcher I was defective when i got it -I am comparing it with another Brita pitcher. -I got this kit because I really wanted to make Mozzarella and then make Ricotta with the leftover whey. -I got this kit because I really wanted to make Mozzarella and then make Ricotta with the leftover whey . -You have to use more milk if you want the ricotta. -The next problem is the instructions are not very clear and the photos are pretty poor . -I'm tired of using cheap, plastic peeler s. -A strong stainless steel peeler to last. -Overall, this is an easy to use peeler on

sticking issues thereafter, even without greasing. -Please use denser, sturdier batters . -I have long preferred silicone bakeware to traditional metal because of easy release of baked goods and quick cleanup, but this was my first foray into whimsically moulded silicone pans. -I had some concerns that the pan wouldn't release the cakes from the crevices (petals), but everything turned out perfectly! -I really like silicone molds . -This Freshware pan is for those who like to bake muffins and cupcakes in a smaller size. -I am not the greatest baker, but I made a batch of Bailey's

took it for a quick spin today. -I have a large White Wing steamer, but it's awkward to haul up and down the stairs. -It does take two hands if you use the hose attachment, one to hold the body and press the trigger, and the other to maneuver the attachment, but that is no problem. -I had a tough time choosing between this and the Enviromate Pronto , but I'm glad I got this one. -My wife and I go thru one of these twice a year. -I bought the 12.5 inch and using my gas grill and flax seed oil, put a non stick surface on the skillet that was the color of light carbon and tough. -I liked it so

lasted +A pan needs weight and balance , and (one hopes) a great design - you cant do better than the Earth Pan by Ozeri. +It's not very thick - definitely a summer weight if you're looking for warmth, but again, for $6 I don't expect a delux blanket. +I had high hopes for this set, because the Rachael Ray brand, while wildly inconsistent, sometimes delivers quality. +The other one had the stiffening center core product that was closer to the end of the silicone so that it was more usable when mixing something. +The plates are large, the bowls are deep and the mugs hold all the coffee I need (which is a lot).We've had the set for 4 months now, and have only chipped one plate and a bowl somehow developed a long crack from top to bottom. +This organizer is ideal for hanging belts or ties or other clothing accessories . +I still wish to learn the art of rolling sushi, but until then I will follow the Germans and Leifheit my way to yummy. +This is an amazing product - When I ordered it I was concerned that because if was queen/king it would be stretched to the hilt to fit around my king-sized bed - but not the case - Plenty of room to spare - and it was long enough for my extra-deep mattress. +It's not completely non stick like a TFal or other brand names of teflon, but with a brush or some oil +If you have children please be careful as THEY DO GET HOT! +The plastic feet allow it to slide nicely on a hard-wood floor , so you can easily pull it away from the wall to manage TV connections. +I do not know the expected life for one of these, but it died within a couple months . +I've used it on carpeted floors and bare floors . +In the box you'll find four of the following: butter knives (aka dinner knife), dinner forks, salad forks, soup spoons, and tea spoons, for a total of twenty pieces. +Its really like you received a "build it yourself project kit" with lots and lots of bitty pieces to assemble You can expect to spend many hours to build your own etagere cabinet . +This review is specific to the 2.5 " Lucid by LinenSpa Gel Infused Ventilated Memory Foam Mattress Topper with Removable Bamboo Cover 3-Year Warranty. +I had been using a ten-year-old Revereware set, good in its own right, but there were some things I disliked about the Revereware, mainly the fact that the bottoms did not make good contact with my stove burners (ceramic top). +I have been given some loose tea and xlarge tea bags +Also, the cord is short , and it is not easy to get things over the hanger part of the steamer without tangling the chord. +Was looking for an low cost Chinese Chef's knife that performs well at an affordable price. +However, before I purchased I magnified the picture to be sure that the cherry was a good match for my room.

little buddy. +They are the perfect size to hold a small bottle of spices, and they look magnificent!I have half of my spices in a rack on my fridge, and the other half in a drawer (this drawer is NOT large, I live in an apartment where they didn't think to leave a drawer for silverware, if that tells you anything.) +Everything washes up easily and emptying the used tea leaves is also easy since the stainless steel is only the bottom half - plenty of opening to tap it out. +I really wanted to like this grinder, but a major flaw in it is that you can only grind 20 seconds worth of coffee every five minutes. +It replaces one of those scoops with the liquid in the handle and the OXO scoop put that one to shame. +I also used 2 TBSP of coffee per cup. You can scoop with them, measure your ingredients, heat on the stove and they have a ring so you can either keep them clipped together or pull them off to use individually. -the thermal carafe does not keep the coffee hot for starters. -Oh yes, and the top of the carafe doe snot come apart to clean. -The cleaning cycle comes on every two months which is fine, however even after cleaning it 3 times with solution, the regular clock does not come back up unless we unplug it and plug it in again which means that it also has to be reprogrammed. -The cleaning cycle comes on every two months which is fine, however even after cleaning it 3 times with solution, the regular clock does not come back up unless we unplug it and plug it in again which means that it also has to be reprogrammed. -The cleaning cycle comes on every two months which is fine, however even after cleaning it 3 times with solution, the regular clock does not come back up unless we unplug it and plug it in again which means that it also has to be reprogrammed. -It's only me eating the bread, so I find this size to be about right - I can eat it up before it goes stale. -Want to make dough or jam ? -After careful consideration and reading other reviews, I picked this one almost 3 years ago... and I'm so glad I did! -I know my bread is going to turn out great every single time . -If I ever need to upgrade to a 2lb loaf, there's only one brand I'll consider. -Have had it for about 2 months now and no problems. -We have 2 dogs, 1 that is part chow and sheds like mad - and a 9 month old who crawls all over the place. -Our only complaint is that the battery life is pretty short and the charge time is pretty long . -So, we have to keep it plugged in for it to be available when we need it. -We have 2 dogs, 1 that is part chow and sheds like mad - and a 9 month old who crawls all over the place. -I got this because I saw Rachel use it on her food network show. -I got this because I saw Rachel use it on her food network show. -I like having a big heavy duty nonstick pot for pasta and it works great for cooking soups and stews. -I like having a big heavy duty nonstick pot for pasta and it works great for cooking soups and stews. +All the other ads included lids . +The ORECK ULTIMATE HANDHELD VACUUM is a wonderful device for getting to awkward locations. +If you work in the medical industry and are that guy/girl in the office and you make yourself laugh harder than most interaction with other living things you have already purchased this mug and are only looking at prior purchases on Amazon to make yourself feel better about all the money you spent since you signed up for Prime and went on a binge of cheap crap you would never pay for in the store but since you saw it here for a few bucks... +I tried using a few different types of coffee in the presto my pod, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm not convinced that the pressure is strong enough to brew a decent cup.don't buy this... heck I'll sell you mine for a dollar :-) +The BlowOut Bedding pillow protectors are very nice. +Good beer tastes best cooled to between fifty and sixty degrees. +It is easy to use and clean. +We have a big family and first thing in the morning you can count on a line up at the fridge, the kids filling their water bottles, me filling the carbonated water containers and the hubby mournfully waiting for someone to give him "cuts" so he can be properly caffeinated . +I also noticed I couldn't feel the heat from a hot beverage in my hand. +The finish is shiny , but it still works with the matte finish of my stainless steel appliances. +It is much quieter than my DeLonghi espresso maker, which just broke yesterday after buying it 4 months ago .The +and I like it especially when you use the bold function the coffee is strong enough for me , however I wish the temperature was higher , well in winter I warm my milk anyway and in summer I guess that will be just perfect .. one little thing is that is you use to fine coffee the dripping never stop but with regular ground coffee the process is just fine . +I did a lot of research before buying (we just had an expensive DiLonghi coffee maker die after only 14-15 months and they wouldn't stand behind it)In addition to the features, pricing and the fact that it's stainless, our main decision point for this one was the 3 year warranty. +I purchased this steam mop because I love "clean" , but hate the time it takes to get there. +For this dish to be truly beautiful, some ornamentation on the inside of the rim i s needed, so it would be visible when the dish is being used (there is some ornamentation on the outside of the rim, but you can hardly see it when the plate sits on the table). +The company took tremendous care to pack the pitcher for shipping , , , there was so much bubble wrap it would have survived if it had fallen off the truck. +I use mine mostly for parmigiana cheese and whole nutmeg , but I have also found it incredibly useful for grating those fibrous ginger roots. +We had a generic rice maker/steamer for a long time. +This will come in handy for my little grandson when on trips this summer. +It took my husband and I about half an hour , and I honestly could have done it myself if I had to. +It is large enough to hold the grinds of 4 double filters, and we especially like the padded bar on which we tap the filter to loosen the grinds. +But, mine was damaged so I did not just accept that. +Obviously if you attach them they are more secure, but they work fine for painting and finishing if you just put them under the work on a counter top. +I've been using my hotplate daily for 14 months now. +It will be as good as starbuck's or better if you practice enough. +When you are done, there is no need to find a saucer or napkin to rest it on because it comes with the perfect matching silicone mini-dish .Everything washes up easily and emptying the used tea leaves is also easy since the stainless steel is only the bottom half - plenty of opening to tap it out. No more bagged microwave popcorn for me. -I've used this with and without oil and with butter flavored cooking spray. -This popper pops almost all of the kernals in about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes . -This popper pops almost all of the kernals in about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. -Me not being a fan of hand-washing , I wish I could toss it in the dishwasher, but I know that would dull the blade, and then what's the point?We have now purchased three of this model for ourselves and two as gifts, as well as purchasing the Victorinox Santoku for ourselves. -Years prior, we received a set of knives we had selected in our wedding registry. -Me not being a fan of hand-washing, I wish I could toss it in the dishwasher, but I know that would dull the blade, and then what's the point?We have now purchased three of this model for ourselves and two as gifts, as well as purchasing the Victorinox Santoku for ourselves. -Me not being a fan of hand-washing, I wish I could toss it in the dishwasher, but I know that would dull the blade, and then what's the point?We have now purchased three of this model for ourselves and two as gifts, as well as purchasing the Victorinox Santoku for ourselves. -I use this with a double recipe of gluten free bread to make six small loaves of bread which I stick in the fridge until eaten. -I use this with a double recipe of gluten free bread to make six small loaves of bread which I stick in the fridge until eaten. -I use this with a double recipe of gluten free bread to make six small loaves of bread which I stick in the fridge until eaten. -Since gluten free bread tends to continue to shrink after baking , my idea was that the "bowling ball" shape of these loaves would shrink equally in all directions, and still look attractive -- and that is proving out in practice pretty well, with only the bottom flat of the loaves buckling in slightly. -This is a great knife . -I usually sharpen my knives pretty often -- once a week or so . -I'm not sure how the edge will hold because I didn't order the sharpener at the time of order (it's in my cart now). -I like this one better than knives that cost closer to $150. I'm not sure how the edge will hold because I didn't order the sharpener at the time of order (it's in my cart now). -I love OXO products, there is not one that did not work or was not beautifully made. -The only drawback I can see is the price ; however, with everything, you get what you pay for. -They are made from reinforced steel and have a great rubber handle. -They are made from reinforced steel and have a great rubber handle. -They wash up great in the dishwasher and are a substantial weight - not too heavy, but they don't feel cheap. -I have got these peelers for a gift for 3 ppl so far -But seriously if You try this type of peeler You will never want to be without itI dont understand why people l leave 1 star review this thing is a must have .....and that brand is so well made ... -maybe she picked wrong kind of zucchini ...its got it to be bigger in size for peeler to work best !!!!!!

+It folds up easily and I just tuck it behind my hamper between uses. +We love this thing so much we are attempting to prepare for the inevitable day when we may need new parts and have begun to look for another juicer attachment ( hard to find alone ) +Even though it's plastic, it seems durable , in addition to being dishwasher safe. +I have arthritis in my shoulders and hips and would wake up in the middle of the night aching to the point I would just get up and move around. +We opted for the Kitchenaid mixer and Calphalon cookware, and decided to skimp on the blender , figuring a blender is a blender and what difference would it make?It makes a big difference. +Right out of the box we knew this wouldn't work - they are too loud . +I have absolutely no complaints . +As someone who's fond of making margaritas and Moscow mules, it's a lot easier when you have a citrus squeezer . +One more note, I have seen some of the fancy fountains at other events and in some buffets and I would say if you are looking to use this for a large (More than 75 people) gathering you probably need to go with something bigger, but for smaller groups this is a hit. +Looked at a lot of wall-mount pot racks , found several that I liked. +Compact, quiet, nice color, OK Ionizor, remote, easy to useCONS: blow power on high setting is weaker than my old fan on low setting, doesn't move air around as adequately as I'd hoped in a small room (direct air is satisfying at best), blue/green light is too bright at night (had to stick tape over my lights to dull the glow. +This Panasonic vacuum (which is excellent, by the way) came with two vacuum bags, but I thought from the quality materials and construction of the bags that it wasn't going to be cheap to keep the house vacuumed. +It died while making cookie dough . +It sits in my home office , and does its thing quite well: cleansing the air, and overall improving the living conditions in a space in which I spend entirely too much time. +I have a teensy, tiny bathroom with no convenient wall location on which to mount a TP-Holder . +If you've never used a horizontal blade, the vertical peeling motion can be off-putting at first but once you get used to it, you'll find the downward - instead of sideways - motion more natural, and the longer strokes will make you faster at peeling and the slight serrate on the blade makes every stroke stick. +The thing that brings this model down to 3 stars, when normally I would rate this product at a 5, is the new 'imporved' mopping pads all have that dusting kind of threads hanging off of it. +That being said, the wide base fits very comfortably in the hand so there is less hand fatigue if you are whisking for any length of time. +The shape of the stem and bowl are wonderful to assist in the warming by your hands and the swirl of the spirit to bring out the brands best qualities on your palette. +I had the plates stacked on each other and it was cumbersome to get the one you wanted. +Since I have owned several types ( Braun has been the overall best) over the past 30 years, I knew what I was looking for. +I might suggest that in conjunction with this attachment for the pet that you look into the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Handheld Vacuum, Corded, 33A1 for the furniture as the Dyson groom is too stiff for upholstery . +With a little ham, a sausage patty, or two strips of cut up bacon and a slice of cheese, one can enjoy a better sandwich than can be found at the local hamburger place. +Forget all of those cheap plastic travel mugs . +Can't even express the awesomeness of this garment rack other than to say it's so good that it's made me enthusiastic about a garment rack. +I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. +Something else that might be of interest . I purchased the filter I'm using at the local big-box store and paid nearly twice what they want for one here (doh!). +Before you think I'm ridiculous for rating it 5 stars, let's just say I have had this hot pot for 9 1/2 years , and it has served me well. +Why only 4 stars? +I love the Pyrex ones the best because you can measure hot and cold items when necessary. +My sister bought this for me as a gift. +My only concern is that when I have used all 26 pages, I don't think Umbra offers refill pages. +I don't know if the color was touched up in the photos, but what I got is more key lime green than sage green .Would NOT buy again, but... +I have a mandolin for cutting up food , but it was almost impossible to use because the food never seemed to stay attached to the pronged food handle. +This hand held vacuum cleaner by Dirt Devil gets into tight corners of my home so that I can clean every square inch of my flooring--not to mention the moldings all the way up to the ceilings (as long as I get on a ladder)!

beer is always the best? +Attractive, sturdy, and holds a lot of utensils ! +Get it, it's worth the price for sure . +The most objectionable thing I have against this coffee maker is all the noise it

years, it is such a pleasure to go to the real McCoy; the Oster. +I washed and chopped the lettuce with my plastic lettuce knife and loaded quart mason jars. +just to add on to all the good reviews this is a fantastic dutch oven I kicked it off by seasoning it again because yes people the seasoning is not stellar mine actually looked grey a bit still so in the oven it went but after that little time killer the fun began I made a roasted chicken with lemon rosemary and onion with garlic it was amazing how well this thing cooked it, literally so juicy and tender it fell off the bone.. +I also

second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control. +I just wish at least the cord was longer

expected to get at least Ikea furniture quality, but overall, I would say Ikea furniture would be slightly better quality than this dresser. +The real reason I am mainly reviewing this item is because I had read reviews prior to purchasing it where seemingly a lot of customers received the desk in a somewhat damaged condition ...I am happy to report that I received the desk in perfect new condition, with no dings or scratches. +I run it almost 24/7 because I can never remember to turn it off after I get done leaving my valuable opinion on Amazon about the products I buy late at night in a stupor of despair and self pity . +just as often as my other primary "go to knives" - an 8" chef's knife, a boning knife, a paring knife, and a Chinese cleaver. +This cup is so great in the

have used. +The filter holder slides easily out of the slot in the bottom of the water compartment. +The roll contains 165 lineal feet and 205 square feet . +but a microplane grater will NEVER be absent from my kitchen again. +The little loop on the end helps this balance on bowls making it easy to pour your food without spilling. +What I like:- two heat settings & a non-heat setting - froths like it should- non-stick surface- shuts off automaticallyOnly one time when I used it, it did not shut off automatically and when I smelled it burning I turned it off. +I can't give a carpet rating as I only have hardwood floors but it sure does the job for me and I have two 65 lb boxers that are always on the wrong side of the door. +The dish had to be see-through so I could view the chicken

+The "power" brush is powered by air suction and when it gets dirty the mechanisms get bogged down and stop working. +The handles and bottom are rubberized and make it quiet when you drop it in the sink. +You get the base that holds the molds upright, 6 molds that don't skimp on space, and 6 lid/handle/drip catchers . +It makes sense that heavy cast iron would be good for high-heat oriental wok cooking. +Plus the temperature gauge is not stable when cooking at a high temperature of 350 degrees . +I wouldn't suggest you leave the spoon / lifter in the pan while cooking, rather set them on a plate or dish on the side between stirs. +About a year ago I started looking for another one for cocoa powder and had been unable to find it, until now on Amazon ! +This scraper comes in handy for so many things. +It does open bottles but you have to really snug it up against the top of the opener . +Just pop out the container and drop the dirt into the garbage in only a matter of seconds . +A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board . +It's kind of difficult to extend the hose although you can completely remove the long metal tube and use it without that. +The tiki box is mounted to the frame using a 2-inch' brass hinge at the top - had to drill holes in top of the box to fasten the hinge with small bolts/nuts. +I'm an inveterate amateur baker, so I was thrilled to find these, and looking forward to making batches of nano-brownies and micro-spaniards . +You can put your hand on the side while it is in use and not get burned (of course do NOT put your hand on the TOP when it is in use). +Unfortunately, while this mold may be suitable for cold-molding, I can't consider it suitable for baking .Upon opening the plastic package, I noted a sickly-sweet chemical smell. +It is much quieter than my DeLonghi espresso maker , which just broke yesterday after buying it 4 months ago. +I figured that it said it was the replacement for my pressure cooker so I figured it would be OK. +Unbelievable quality!

The suction cup feet are a bit odd but really thoughtful addition - almost acts like a third hand to keep the machine from walking on the counter while running. +I pulled it out of the cabinet on Sunday for a party and it would not come on...my husband took the back off and the inside insulation was severely burned where the electric connects to the heating element.....pretty sure they will not replace at this late date, but am going to try....even if they do, this is still a definite quality control issue! +The foam came rolled up tightly in a box and upon unrolling it and giving it time to air out (new smell dissipated within 24 hours ) and return to its mattress form, it works great for our granddaughters bed. +I will say that it is not overly loud but it does make some noise (more like white noise ). +Maybe cute for decoration if you put them up high where no one can see them up close, but I wouldn't recommend for daily use. +They are the perfect size to hold a small bottle of spices, and they look magnificent!I have half of my spices in a rack on my fridge, and the other half in a drawer (this drawer is NOT large , I live in an apartment where they didn't think to leave a drawer for silverware, if that tells you anything.) +It stands up better (though I read a review from another that said it cracks , like the canisters) +They work well in the freezer, fridge, cupboard, and microwave . +The price of this was a bit more than some of the other brands, but it was well worth it!I know we will use this even more in the winter time, for other hot drinks and soups . +My wife and I cook a lot and I don’t like using artificial spray cans . +This is a fanatic kit that offers everything you need to make beer besides the ingredients and the bottle caps. +I was a little surprised that the legs don't lock into place (at least not that I can find), so you'll have to use both hands to hold the legs in place while sitting the cooling racks on the counter or stacking them onto each other. +and I purchased two .You'd think an item like this is something simple, but there really is a difference between using any old stick and this push puller of power. +It also gets pretty hot after 10 minutes which honestly is a long time. +There are two options on this machine, Chop and Grind which are controlled by your touch. +My Daughter and both have reactions to theses especially Carrageenan . +One small issue is that if you lose power this heater will not automatically turn back on when power is restored. +Its handy and easy to hold and the cord is very long so it stretch a long way. +The replacement piece took about 3 weeks to get to me but thankfully, unlike other reviewers I got the correct piece the first time. +My older pan weighs twice what the new one does, and I was replacing it because the non-stick coating was worn. +Love the controls on the base and not on the kettle itself. +They wash up great in the dishwasher and are a substantial weight - not too heavy, but they don't feel cheap. +I have a Vitamix and am used to the power of this type of blender. +Anyway, set is dinner party worthy and have real (nice!) +This set is ideal for empty-nesters or recipes that call for about two servings. +She likes the vacumn and recently told me she needed some more bags but be sure to get the real Hoover Pleated HEPAY bags whatever they are. +We don't often decant wine , and when we do, we usually consume the whole bottle in one evening. +One of the old trays recently broke when dropped on a sharp object , so i ordered this tray being reviewed. +GOOD FEATURES: 1 . +I love OXO products, there is not one that did not work or was not beautifully made. +Unlike the French ovens, this one has little spikes on the inside of the lid which serve to baste the food as it roasts. +It's important that you read the instructions and especially important that you prime the unit before you use it. +Also, the dark coating has had a tendency to burn the edges of my products before they are through cooking in the middle. +I wish I could give this pan a better review however, the one I received did not come properly "Pre-Seasoned."

to use a stovetop pressure cooker but you have little control over the temperature/pressure (see below).As for the sticking issue, I find you need to be careful at the 400F ("browning") temperature not to scorch foods, esp veggies, flour-dredged meats--turn the temp down to 300 or 350F; but if you are searing uncoated meat, 400F is ideal for a good fast sear that releases from the metal. +It'll

hand to turn the cone a little , which then allowed the motor to unfreeze and start spinning the cone. +I have to laugh the UPS driver though it was a bowling ball, i wasnt too pleased with the shipping as the box was crushed/torn in a few places , however the functionality of this Stone Mortar and Pestle is WONDERFUL! +It comes with 3 different sets of beaters that store in a container that the mixer sits on. +I have used outdoors in California year round, only moving it during the Christmas season when I change my lighting. +I can only give this a 3 . +The only question will be how well the plastic cup body stands up over time - I note that the directions warn against heating oil or fats in the cups in the microwave. +I like the clear sides of course, and the latches seemed to be snug and secure. +Oh, and you can make nice, small ice cream scoops also. +With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew , there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! +On some jars, they don't

w. remote"...it looks exactly like this unit shown here...the boxy speaker-like unit is the same, the button controls are the same, the readout...SAME.More dust collects on the front grids than

even call it a problem.) is that they are so thick and heavy it was difficult to wrap around my head. +I received these glasses as a gift to complement the 2 oz espresso glasses in the series. +i wouldn't put them in the dryer because if they shrink , they are not going to fit. +Now and again I mix in white vinegar to really sanitize it. +Maybe its friction, or a lack of it, but it seems every morning I'd wake up on bare mattress, and have to redo 2 or more corners of my fitted sheets. +I've been cooking rice on the stovetop for over 40 years but since we moved to a different state I can't seem to get it just right +The skillet that came with it is also great (but I'm not cookware snob +Then one day I accidentally bumped it with my shoulder while passing the fridge (I store the device

Grounds fly every where .So -Can't see inside the hopper after first couple of uses. -This fan literally vibrates itself off the desk and falls over. -You have to put something heavy there to hold it unless I just got a defective unit which I doubt. -Even though its made of metal it doesn't seem that the base is heavy enough for the motor and the spinning fan blades so this isn't too good. -I used to have a 4 inch Lakewood fan which I don't think they make anymore it looked kinda like this but a millionaire guy who looks like the dead milli vanilli stole it off my work desk . -You get the base

plenty big enough to fit bagels and my homemade bread (which also didn't fit into my old toaster).My only complaint is...the power cord comes out of the front corner of the toaster and I think is pretty short. -Our kitchen has a lot of funky, retro pieces in it and the orange matches my 70's Sears mushroom cookie jars perfectly!I've seen other reviews saying that it took too long to toast but

told by family and our friends). -We've had three separate comments since the switch about how comfortable it is to sleep on our guest bed. -Considering you spend a third of your life in bed, it's

dustbuster for. -and I plug it back in to the recharger . -It doesn't run for hours, probably not as long as a hand vac if you use the roller brush , but frankly I haven't used it that long to find

Adults drink out of straws too. -When they say solid stainless steel their not kidding. -I do have one minor complaint, there was a sticker on the inside of the scoop itself that must have been applied with super glue or something because I had to soak it for almost 45 mins just to get the darn thing off. -It replaces one of those scoops with the liquid in the handle and the OXO scoop put that one to shame. -This baby cuts through ice cream smoothly and effortlessly . -I do have one minor complaint, there was a sticker on the inside of the scoop itself that must have been applied with super glue or something because I had to soak it for almost 45 mins just to get the darn thing off. -For our wedding registry, we chose this Colorwave set. -The bowls nick more easily than the plates and coffee mugs , which haven't nicked at all. -That was more than ten years ago. -They tend to nick when I'm washing the dishes and accidentally bang them against one another. -The set has held up fine, with the exception that two out of twelve bowls have nicked . -a bit tricky at first, but a breeze now3. -The blade does not get gooky with dried food and require cleaning4. -as easy to crank as any other manuel. -I know a product should only get 5 stars if I have no dislikes, but this met my requirements for it 100% . -does not work on all cans, especially those really small 2. can not use lid to drain liquids. -well written instructions /pictures. -The blade does not get gooky with dried food and require cleaning 4. -does not work on all cans , especially those really small2. -while this may be good for tuna in decreasing the amount of mayo, it's a problem with fruits and other canned goods. -This worked out beautifully, especially the bottom portion which is large enough for full sized canned goods (10>16oz type). -It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book. -It's not especially strong palstic , but so far it been holding up well. -I've had it for a handful months and no cracks or issues so far . -The top portion because of how small my cabinents are, doesn't hold a lot but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves, toothpicks and etc. -I have struggled with space in tiny cabinets for years. -but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves , toothpicks and etc -It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book. -It's not especially strong palstic , but so far it been holding up well. -A fridge in the garage in a cold climate is problematic. -I needed to monitor the temperature in winter to make sure the unit is functioning properly (it wasn't - garage just gets too cold). -So I bought this thermometer to keep tabs on the fluctuations in temperature. -Ended up having to replace the refrigerator with one that is designed to work in a colder environment (a garage refrigerator) and now I can make sure the new one is working properly. -Oxo makes great tools for the kitchen, and we have a buch of them. -They have lately branched out into the bathroom , to very good effect. -I finally threw away the bunch of ugly hangers we kept around - good riddance. -a small apartment in the big city ). -I was looking for an old fashioned flour sack dish towel and thought I would try these -BUT they are so small - especially after I washed and dried them! -I was pretty disappointed in them SO I went back on Amazon and looked for something better for dishes. -I finally found the RIGHT ONES….instead of buying these PLEASE check out the AUNT MARTHA'S 33 X 38 INCH FLOUR SACK DISH TOWELS !!!!!!!!

-We normally sweep our floors with a broom , but the vacuum is so much more efficient and is lightweight and easy to handle- particularly for seniors. -a vacuum we could use to sweep our extensive hard floors. -I especially like how well it works in the bathroom . -I even used it to sweep off the seats of my car to get rid of my Chihuahua's hair. -And you have to nearly after every job, because it's capacity small and if you have pets, the rollers can get gunked up with hair pretty easily. -GOOD FEATURES: 1 . -Poorer quality than the Tablemate I bought a few years back. -The one I bought a few years back was called the same thing, but the metal legs were much stronger and of a heavier metal. -The newer one is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it. -The newer one is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it. -The instruction pamphlet that it came with is in Japanese only so that's no help. -I purchased the rose colored one which has a soft, iridescent, pearly rose tint to it and I've gotten several compliments on it, but I don't think the presentation alone is worth $26.99. -I purchased the rose colored one which has a soft, iridescent, pearly rose tint to it and I've gotten several compliments on it, but I don't think the presentation alone is worth $26.99 . -Next time I'll invest in a new Starbucks insulated travel mug which is user friendly and does the same thing that this product does. -The one saving grace about this thermos? It's very pretty . -I received my desk recently and am pretty pleased with it so far. -Amazon is a very prompt shipper and this desk probably took a day longer than what I had expected, but that was no big deal and it is just as likely that this desk did not really take long.....is just that most Amazon orders ship really really fast. -I am happy to report that I received the desk in perfect new condition, with no dings or scratches . -The real reason I am mainly reviewing this item is because I had read reviews prior to purchasing it where seemingly a lot of customers received the desk in a somewhat damaged condition ...I am happy to report that I received the desk in perfect new condition, with no dings or scratches. -I am very mechanically challenged and even I could assemble this desk in just under 30 minutes , super easily...Amazon is a very prompt shipper and this desk probably took a day longer than what I had expected, but that was no big deal and it is just as likely that this desk did not really take long.....is just that most Amazon orders ship really really fast. -We purchased this a few months ago . -The hose is very short making it very difficult to reach distances . -First, the machine constantly clogs . -There is very little suction both before it clogs and after clearing a clog . -The HEPA filter slides out by itself while vacuuming a room. -Didn't think that this would be a very good vacuum but needed an upright for the small amount of carpeting I have in my new home... -This is a 5 star winner for sure! -I tell everyone about this little inexpensive vacuum and they have bought it with the same results. -I couldn't believe how much crud it sucked up off my floors! -Didn't think that this would be a very good vacuum but needed an upright for the small amount of carpeting I have in my new home... -These are great stands for the low price I paid. -The price beat the large stores by $14 . -Two things you may need to know, first be very careful not to cross thread riser into base , I found it easier to thread the pipe from the bottom of the base to clean up threads and then put it together correctly from the top side. -Another option which I used is double sided tape included, I had plastic housed speakers I did not want to drill into, so I used the included double sided tape. -Fot extra security I put a screw in the wall hanging hole in my speaker housing and secured it to the back support brack with a flat washer and nut . -Look, to tone down those who say that the bag is not HEPA, 'reality check' nowhere on the bag does it say HEPA. -As one reviewer states "It's good to have inexpensive cloth instead of the paper" AMEN. -I just finished using my almost new Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 (on sale $59 excellent value)to clean the fine remaining ash in my fireplace, my previous bag would have allowed the fine particles to escape... this bag did not - Kudos! -I just finished using my almost new Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 (on sale $59 excellent value)to clean the fine remaining ash in my fireplace , my previous bag would have allowed the fine particles to escape... this bag did not - Kudos! +a good looking serving piece as well. what more could i ask of a pan that is so versatile and at a reasonable price? +I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. +Alice May Brock is quoted as saying:Tomatoes and oregano makes it Italian;Tarragon and wine makes it French;Sour cream makes it Russian; Lemon and cinnamon make it Greek;Soy sauce makes it Chinese;Garlic makes it good. +With the metal feet that can rest on a counter top without burning it is a big plus. +From reading other reviews, my guess is the main problem is inconsistant quality from unit to unit .My experience has been mainly positive. +This is a reasonably priced toaster that does a fine job on toast, bagels, and English muffins . +I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets. +The only thing I wish was different is that the holes in the salt shaker are so very small, I wish they were a tiny bit bigger. +I don't have anything negative to say, but I will warn you the cord is pretty short so if your outlet is far away you may want to take that into consideration. +This means either one of three things: it is defective , you are pressing two hard while cooking/scraping skillets, or you are using this device in a substance and temperature that it was not designed. +I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded , and two others had strings hanging from them. +They were packaged in a box barely big enough to hold them with no padding or protection other than thin plastic bag. +My closet has a steel modular unit that has shelves. +Made three sandwiches with it, one turned out fine, but the other two were just a mess . +It is rare that I give 5 star reviews, but this grill is a really fun little gadget. +And equally good, it is built for temperatures up to 500 degrees .This pan worked perfectly for the bread, which popped out as easily as if it had a no-stick coating (which it doesn't!). +It fills up fast with the built in pump and lasts all night. +They stay firm instead of getting ripe too fast .If moisture accumulates inside the bag, you'll want to wipe it dry with a paper towel to keep the fruit longer. +I previously used more expensive coffee maker that did not last whole year. +Love the vented glass lids and coated handles . +So far, I have "fried" chicken that came out great - crispyon the outside and moist on the inside . +As an oven it might be unusable for most people. +My Salad Shooter (I cheated) is from a yard sale, so it only cost a couple of dollars. +I am very happy with both the size and quality of the Proctor Silex roaster . +It can be use for so many different things. I need a few more of these bongo bags. +I put my dryer sheets and detergent at the bottom of the hamper, however, because the hamper isn't heavy enough by itself to hold up if there are only a few pieces of clothing in the hamper with the detergent and dryer sheets on the side pocket. +This item arrived labeled as a " mixing spoon ", and has little to no depth. +We were both perfectly pleased that this cover is soft and not wrinkle sounding as you lay or move on it, it fits the huge double pillow top mattress and manages to stay on all four corners. +The rubber lip on the sides prevents items from skidding off, which is great. +The two identical square bowls are only .48 quart size (that will hold a little less than 2 cups of something) and the two round containers are 1.37 quart (6 1/2 cups) and 0.8 quart (about 3 cups ). +a tad bigger , but I just do. +On use number 6, the motor frozen, just making a very loud humming noise .TIP - on the last use, I was able to complete a about 10 more limes by using my hand to turn the cone a little, which then allowed the motor to unfreeze and start spinning the cone. +I like that it has a reservoir cut into it to help with little spills that can happen when you replace cloths, sponges or pot scrubbers onto it. +Frankly all this business of taking it apart and putting it together sort of nullifies the ergonomic aspect of it for me. +I also don't need to ever grease a pan with butter or pam, which saves more money. +I use 96% fat free ground beef, which is pretty dry, but the grease -still- runs out of the back of the unit. +The knife and fork are a nice touch, they are sturdy enough , but I find that the tongs on the fork are too fat to pick up lettuce, so I bring my own along.. +This is a sleek-looking machine, a silvery color, lightweight with a carrying handle built in . +The notch at the end can push a rack without slipping, while the second notch pulls that rack right out again. +The lid is tempered glass, and has a really neat vent area , for allowing the steam to come out. +The motor seems good and powerful, and really gets the job done. +I also think the heat would be more efficient if it came out nearer to the floor , instead of on top. +So this suit bag is nice, a good size, and seems like it will hold up well, but it has one drawback. +So, I bought this mold , to use as an ice cube tray. +It had been dropped on the small handle end and dented, and there were dents in the metal trim ring of the lid. +I discovered that other juicers shouldn't be used for wheat grass because their fast speed made for doing other juices means that oxygen enters the wheat grass which breaks down the very properties you drink wheat grass for.but other wheat grass juicers that were the right speed could not do other thigns or other juicers, or cost an arm and a leg as a professional juicer. +This jug has a sensor on top that will remind you to change the filter. +I also own a universal lid cover that is glass and stainless, and although it's nice, I prefer these because they don't weigh as much and they are easier to clean than the glass one . +I didn't notice when I signed the lease on my new apartment that there was no plug in the bathtub drain. +The installation was a snap and included everything needed (except the power drill).I am not sure how well this heater would work in larger room +This 16 Piece Classic White Dinnerware Set in the Wave Design is both unique and beautiful. +But it's a utilitarian object to me--so although the magnets don't contact the blades perfectly, they do well enough to hold my large Henckels chef's knives with no problem. +What's great about this shelf is that the feet are adjustable . +sometimes I find myself wishing it was a little bit bigger . +Everytime I use them the cashier and baggers comment on how nice they are. +I have always had an economical coffee maker like the Black and Decker DCM2500 but lately I have had to buy one after another, trying different brands each time. +I checked consumer reports for well-rated insulated travel tumblers because I was tired of sipping on luke warm to cold coffee when driving . +In comes a present of this specific 3 way timer - since the onset and receipt of this - it has had issues - I've changed batteries each time thinking perhaps that was the issue. +Needless to say when it was all said and done we are very happy with it, the drawers are very useful and a good size and space for all of the components is perfect . +This juicer is great, it is slow but efficient. +It is very well made, has a shiny chrome finish which, coordinates beautifully with my stainless steel kitchen appliances, and is very pretty to look at . +My only real gripe is that it does not stand in place on it's own ; if you don't have enough material inside to balance it out, it will fall over. +No doubt made in China or some sweat shop, this kettle burned out a year and only a few days beyond its warrenty. +Fruit and veggies kept getting stuck and pieces would shoot out of the basket. +I used it Thanksgiving to roast my huge turkey . +You can sit on the edge of the bed, tuck in the sheets and get in and out of the beds easily (an important feature to us as we are over 60 ). +My first experiment was with watermelon, rum, Splenda, and lime juice . +It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. +Actually even let our horses drink beer out of them (so funny) but these glasses stand the test of time... +I bought two different sets of these containers and am posting the same review to each. +However, we have decided that it is worth it and we will never want for a great turkey cooker if all the family drops in for a Christmas dinner. +As much as Espro wants to advertised this pitcher is easy to use no-brainer...the bottom line, you need to learn and understand how to froth milk correctly using your machine's steam wand, each machine is different!!!I'm giving a 4 -star because once you are using the steam wand correctly, watching your temperature, this little pitcher does what it claims to do...a nice cup of steam milk with micro foams. +This crock pot was slightly larger than what I thought it'd be, so it wasn't as easy to carry. +Just got this item (3/28/2014)--it replaces 2 Hoover Flairs that I've had since 2007 and 2008. +I would have given this disc holder a 5-star rating except that the child-resistant safety button/knob is difficult for arthritic hands to lift and twist at the same time. +The colour is great as it blends into any colour scheme and the weigh is great as it can easily be lifted . +I purchased a 30 lbs Energy Center Channel for a home theater and this is fantatsic way to be creative and use a large moutning system well bulit to hold up not just a receiver but also a center channel. +Rather than try to peel apples by hand like we did in the past, we wanted something to speed up the process . +So I took down all my summer clothes packed them in the space bags , did the same with blankets/comforters I'm not using at the moment, and these bags did the job. +I have never had a problem with the acidity of coffee, and when I tried cold-brewed, it was the bland taste that lacked all the complex flavor notes that drove me away. +Forget all of those cheap plastic travel mugs . +Plus, it was clearly a used item - the packaging was repacked and the foot warmer was dirty. +My first batch was runny , I didn't follow the directions! +The only "saving grace" of this iron is that it puts out a lot of steam (and water) . I just finished using my almost new Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 (on sale $59 excellent value)to clean the fine remaining ash in my fireplace, my previous bag would have allowed the fine particles to escape... this bag did not - Kudos! -This are one of the best kitchen helps out there! -I received one as a souvenir gift from an Alaskan cruise . -The knife is extremely sharp. -After seeing me use mine, my mom asked if I could get her one. -I was thrilled when I found this one on Amazon . -Love it... however it does not have an on/off switch. -I give it a four because I think the manf should put an on//off switch on it. -I had an old faithful popcorn popper and could not find one to reorder. -I researched on Amazon , and this one seemed to fit the need. -Per other recommendations, I did let the popper heat up a few minutes before I put in the popcorn and a little bit of popcorn oil. -After hand washing these chopping mats , they wont' stay flat. -After hand washing these chopping mats, they wont' stay flat. -Due to the curvature, using these mats is difficult for chopping items such as onions, herbs, or any lighter object that will slip off. -I have to hold the mats flat with one hand ..making chopping almost impossible. -After hand washing these chopping mats, they wont' stay flat . -I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase (along with the Density Visco 4 Pound Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper, 2-Inch Thick). -I decided that I would buy another set for a queen bed in my guest room . -I bought the set as a gift for my daughter and surprised her by putting the topper on while she was at work (the foam wasn't arriving until the next day ) -I bought the set as a gift for my daughter and surprised her by putting the topper on while she was at work (the foam wasn't arriving until the next day). -I bought the set as a gift for my daughter and surprised her by putting the topper on while she was at work (the foam wasn't arriving until the next day). -It's been about a month so I will have to post an updated part of this review in 5 months or so. -With these pillows, he is no longer tossing and turning adjusting, it's a full night of wakeless sleep . -But so far, these pillows are great. -It's been about a month so I will have to post an updated part of this review in 5 months or so . -I finally abandoned aluminum foil and both types of aluminum pie shields in favor of the silicone pie shield. -Harold Imports Mrs. Anderson's 9-Inch Pie Shield,Progressive International Pie Crust ShieldsI bought two of the pie shields, and they worked perfectly on my 9" pie pans even with the decorative edge on the crust. -The shield is dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 450 degrees F. -The shield is dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 450 degrees F. -My only complaint is that you have to constantly refill it . -We had previously used a "cold air" humidifier but it made the room too cold -We can barely make it through the night on one tankful . -Otherwise, it works great and I recommend it. -I have an older hoover upright animal and a dyson animal . -The Dyson is over 5 yrs old and the other hoover is over 1yr old. -Pros: + very powerful and works well on hard wood floors.+ Setting below low carpet makes bare floors easy+ nice accessories Cons:- older model had power button this has a switch half way down the body in the back behind a door next to a leopard.- no auto retracting cord (Previous model had it)Overall its a really good vacuum with a high bang for the buck value. -Pros:+ very powerful and works well on hard wood floors.+ Setting below low carpet makes bare floors easy+ nice accessoriesCons:- older model had power button this has a switch half way down the body in the back behind a door next to a leopard.- no auto retracting cord (Previous model had it)Overall its a really good vacuum with a high bang for the buck value. -I did the 2 pass test with this and the older hoover. -I purchased the santoku 6" and it's awesome (although it chips very soon). -This paring knife its so good because its handle; I feel it more ergonomic than my previous one. -BUT, just one thing I hated: THERE'S A LITTLE SPACE where the handle meets the blade . -I think the food can get inside there and, well, it isn't safe .I dont know if the problem is that my paring knife is yellow and the fancy colors knives are defective. -THE BLADE IS PERFECT, it's razor sharp and well, you know , it is kyocera .BUT, just one thing I hated: THERE'S A LITTLE SPACE where the handle meets the blade. -So I bought this thinking that it would work with any liquid soap with similar viscosity . -When I put it in, I noticed that instead of giving me a neat dollop like it was doing with the proprietary soap, it was giving me literally a very tiny dribble drop that was too small to wash with. As you may have noticed, the proprietary (and much more expensive) soap was of a more diluted consistency. -Otherwise, I discovered that putting the mixture in too soon will cause the dispenser to dispense more of a splatter (water still separated from the soap) onto my hand. -The trick is to let it sit for a while (like a few hours) so that the two could have a chance to settle and mix through osmosis. -I saw this same brand and same overall design type at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for $39.99, but I got this for approximatly $20 on Amazon. -I gave this product four stars because the basket design (and maybe this is why BB&B has the different design) allows for smaller items to slip through . -I saw this same brand and same overall design type at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for $39.99 , but I got this for approximatly $20 on Amazon. -It's sturdy and can hold a decent amount of weight in it . -It's still new - so I hope that it stays rust free - it's supposed to though and I'll update this if it doesn't. -I'm about to order my third one of these. -Just keep in mind that it will survive much longer if not subjected to temperature extremes . -It does a wonderful job of imparting fruit flavors while leaving the tea (or other liquid) separate for serving . -The second cracked after my husband decided to make tea in it and poured boiling water onto the tea bags . -The first was left out in freezing weather by a house-sitter who used it to carry water to some chickens. -The grill ridges are deep so the steaks really get grilled instead of fried .This grill can handle two large steaks, like T-bones, at a time. -The first batch goes to those who like their steaks well-done . -When we want to make more than two, we cook the first batch to medium-rare or so, then move them to a regular iron skillet with some coarse salt in the bottom, while we make the second batch in the grill pan . +Upon first ordering it, it worked well but then the fan started making a lot of noise and wouldn't stop. +I make primarily lattes , so I can't speak for the espresso afficionados, but one of the reasons I love this thing is that it will actually foam milk well, which is hard to find in a machine at this price point. +intending to return to store for money back, or store credit, I ordered the serta queen from amazon the next morning. +It does a great job of circulating the air , is very quiet, and you can't beat the price! +I still have one actually, but it's a larger ( stainless steel ) variant. +I got the Rachael Ray Dinnerware Holiday Hoot 16 -Piece Dinnerware Set to use this Christmas. +so that dresses won't hang so close to the floor (it is about 4 feet tall). +Yeah sure, Hepa filter microns microbes blah blah, but it's the *carbon* filter (aka the Honeywell 38002 Enviracare Universal Replacement Pre-Filter) that keeps the house from smelling like a Bullitt County bingo hall. +We first tried these at a friend's dinner party , and immediately ordered a set as a gift and one for ourselves. +CONS:- Tank is small, 1 gallon is for approx. 8 hours . +I've also made large crepes in it, and the pan has made them much easier to flip and remove. +The tray in the warmer does not come out. +when cooking pasta, quinoa or oatmeal . +My last kettle scared the dog with its shrillness. +Pinto beans in three easy minutes ?? +The inside was charred and dull . +Now that I have this little tea pot (it IS little....) and a teapot warmer , I can have warm tea waiting for me whenever I need it. +I also put the turkey dressing in this pan and baked it, it was a hit for our Thanksgiving dinner. Both skillets need to be good and hot!It's not too bad to clean up -- provided you keep it very well seasoned, and get the toothed Lodge Grill Pan Scraper 2-Pack (overpriced imo, but I would not want to tackle cleaning this skillet without it). -These are short and hard to knock over . -If you live in a humid climate where salt cakes . -The dispensing end is on the top so no annoying crumbs on table or cabinet. -I have been looking for these after buying a similar set 10 years ago. -I use towels above this protector and a 200 polartec blanket underneath it, right above the mattress for further protection. -I use towels above this protector and a 200 polartec blanket underneath it, right above the mattress for further protection. -The Terry Cloth is a very thin layer above the waterproof layer . -The waterproof protector gets washed with the towels each time - we have 2 twin size protectors that we alternate. -This is a well made fan designed primarily for wall mount use . -but will not tip down if sat higher than table top. -It's a very well made fan that is spoiled by excessive fan noise which is a real shame. -It isn't for the TV room unless you like loud TV!! -I have had my FD5 dehydrator for about 16 years . -I dust it off & use it each summer to dry the fruits & veggies from the garden. -I dust it off & use it each summer to dry the fruits & veggies from

have never felt that the old-fashioned basting brushes were all that sanitary, because you really can't clean between the bristles . -It is dishwasher-safe, and the silicone bristles are spaced widely enough for cleaning. -The brush is very well made with a stainless steel handle.that is comfortable to hold and use. -I have looked at other silicone brushes in specialty kitchen shops like Sur La Table , but this brush is better than the brushes I saw there. -love this product; set up was sooooo easy; no screws at all, just follow the instructions step by step, takes about 20 mins to finish; soooo light and so portable. -due to it being so light, when you hang heavy towels , it feels like it could tip, so you'll have to balance the other side with another similarly heavy towel or garment2. -the sock clips are a great idea, but they're made of plastic, I broke one already during installation3. -space between each rail on the individual racks are a bit small, but manageableoverall, nice product -So far, after almost two months of use, this French Press has been a favorite of my wife and I (we own several presses). -The rubber/plastic (whatever it is, lol) casing is a nice touch as it both protects the glass from impact and protects you from accidentally touching the glass while brewing (plus, it looks kind of sleek and cool). -The lid doesnt seal 100% and swivels on its own , which means that when you are pouring, you need to hold the top to keep it from closing on its own, lol. -Outside of that (which I hope was just a manufacturing flaw with the one I received), this item met all our expectations . -It is quite easy to disassemble and clean. -I really like this dispenser . -This is very easy to install , I just stuck the 3Ms on the back on the flat parts (i used 4) and stuck the mounting bracket to the wall and slid the dispensers on to it. -This is very easy to install, I just stuck the 3Ms on the back on the flat parts (i used 4) and stuck the mounting bracket to the wall and slid the dispensers on to it. -The front part with the clear dispensers slides off the wall bracket so you can clean it easier . -I'm going to purchase another one for my other shower . -After spending what seemed like a ridiculous amount of time and being doused with red juice while pitting cherries to make a cherry sauce (for pork tenderloin..yummy combo, if you've never tried it), I was seeking the perfect cherry pitting device . -But I took the positive reviewers at their words and wasn't at all disappointed...this works great! -I would have been happy with a 90% success rate but ended up with 100% and a speedy processing time...and no mess to speak of . -I'd pay even more for it now that I've seen how well it works. -Thank goodness for Amazon and it's reviewers, because I probably would never have purchased something that seems so 'gimmicky' by appearance. -This vacuum handled them all with ease, made that plush look like brand new! -When I saw the reconditioned one here from Amazon I took a chance because I know Amazon's return policy is excellent. -It maneuvers fairly easily, emptying it is child's play - I agree the wand is somewhat awkward until you get the hang of it, and the handle is a bit uncomfortable to MY hand to use for any length of time, but overall I still rate it a 5 out of 5 stars . -It maneuvers fairly

has a latch that can be slid into place that prevents opening , in case you have curious/smart toddlers/dogs (we do).The one negative is that the interior walls are not smooth, and in some places have horizontal beams that provide strength, but also catch the stuff in the bag when you are pulling it out, and can easily rip the bag if things are wedged in tight. -If this thing had smooth inner walls, I'd give it 5 (or even 6 ) stars, but having a snag-y interior seems like a big oversight for a trash can. -It's big, using a 30 or 33 gallon bag, meaning more room for large stuff and less overflow between bag changes. -I like the shape of the scoop itself, it's a little sharper and flatter and really does a nice job digging into the ice cream. -I was so happy to finally find an ice cream scoop that doesn't break or bend awkwardly after only a few uses . -These bumps don't impact the function of the scoop , but they certainly don't look that great. -I would have given this 5 stars but after a month or so these little bumps began to form on the finish of the inside of the scoop. -I have a standard 4 bedroom house with about 15% carpet and the rest hardwood floor. -That's why I gave 4 stars . -DC26 is very light and very easy to navigate. -I wish the suction for hair is a little better, though. -I will use it until it breaks , and then I will get one with a wider opening at the top. -I filled it and timed how long it took to boil on a medium burner ... a full 26 minutes ! -Additionally, I do not remember reading in the description that it requires a trivet (just a piece of bent wire) between it and the burner if you have an electric stove with coils. -That is not an issue for me as I have a glass cooktop , but some might find it very annoying. -The blender works better if "frozen" fruits are thawed first and fresh fruit, etc are cut / sliced into smaller bits and crushed ice instead of cubes. -Harder items should be added first another with some type of liquid before softer items otherwise the blade just spins. -This blender is rather loud but expected. -The blender works better if "frozen" fruits are thawed first and fresh fruit, etc are cut

she was needing to replace it (they haven't been invited back needless to say). -I told her that I was ordering one for me from Amazon and she got one here too, as they are extremely hard to find except in some specialty stores. -It slices down through the hardest frozen ice cream with no difficulty. -I told her that I was ordering one for me from Amazon and she got one here too, as they are

anyway. -Its cheap NEGATIVES1. -It takes up a good amount of space and I have a small closet rod2. -I have a 50" plasma TV that weighs about 60 pounds on it and it holds it perfectly. -It's a pretty basic item, but it is unobtrusive and strong .Can't say much more other than to repeat it is exactly what I expected and fits my purpose perfectly. -I noticed that one of the reviews mentioned the underside of the top was unfinished . -I moved the little rubber feet from the ends of the legs to 3" in from the edge, which allowed me to hang the stand 2.5" off the back of my credenza to make room to place a dialog speaker in front of the stand. -I moved the little rubber feet from the ends of the legs to 3" in from the edge, which allowed me to hang the stand 2.5" off the back of my credenza

turn the oven heat down about 25 degrees when cooking in silicone, I bake them on a cookie sheet spaced a few inches apart, and it's important to let the baked items cool in the pans. -I wash these by hand, just because it's easy, though they are dishwasher safe. -I find I need to turn the oven heat down about 25 degrees when cooking in silicone, I bake them on a cookie sheet spaced a few inches

rice yet it has some special settings for the GABA brown rice , which i will be switching to once my 15lb bag of jasmine long grain white rice is used up. -Also, I still wonder why Zojirushi does not
