Question: What size were the crepes that the user made?

I acquired this wonderful griddle pan in a strange way: an awful old, thin griddle was used as a noisemaker to drive a pack of raccoons from our back yard. I didn't expect it to be warped beyond repair because it was banged with a stick, but it was. I never liked the thing anyway, and was glad to replace it.This griddle pan is aesthetically beautiful. The non-stick material is as tough as iron. 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. I've also made large crepes in it, and the pan has made them much easier to flip and remove. I highly recommend this pan, even if it is a bit expensive. Over the years of quality performance and not having to replace it, it will be worth its price. I don't recommend using it to scare racoons, though.Actually, some of the prices available through Amazon are very good!!

Question: How is the knife for cutting?

I like the feel of wood handles, but the handle on this is still quite good.It doesn't have the weight of some knives, but so far that's just a matter of "feel"As a tool for cutting, it works really well. It's very sharp, at the trip to the ER confirmed when I cut open a finger by accident and barely felt it. This wasn't while I was using it. I put it in a place that in hind sight wasn't a good idea. And while reaching for something shoved a finger against the edge. The result was a very deep but very straight/clean cut almost to the bone. Ooops?No urge to rate it down for my own mistake.The drop in one star is just for lighter feel and the edge flutes that haven't helped with any of the things I've been cutting. I had really hoped they would help but they haven't at least for cutting veggies or other very wet things.The weight is a bit of an issue for chopping. But maybe this style blade isn't used for that normally. Not being a serious cooker or chef, I don't know.

Question: When the towels arrived what did they have a lot of on them?

Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant? Not me. This touch makes these towels something special.The towels are larger than a standard bath towel, somewhere between the standard size and a bath sheet. I'm a big guy and this is just about the perfect size. The towels arrived with a lot of sizing on them and really need to be washed a couple of times before they are super soft and absorbent. One side is nubby less and absorbent. The other side is super absorbent, smoother, and feels a bit like a microfiber towel (it isn't really that fine, just close to that feeling).These are just so darn nice.

Question: What kind of set was the reviewer looking for?

Needing to outfit a new kitchen I was looking for a set that would work with all types of cookware. These fit the bill perfectly. The pieces are sturdy and all are useful. I've used them in boiling water and hot oil with no problem. I would recommend these to anyone.May 2013 amendment. These aren't quite as great as I first thought. I used the spatula in a frying pan over med-high heat and it started to melt. I'm now looking for a better quality replacement. The spoons are still great and going strong. For that reason I changed from 5 stars to 4 stars.

Question: Why I am satisfied with pan?

I have used my pans a few times since purchase and love them! I bake all of our own bread and the loaves turn out perfectly every time. I thought the raised portions in the pan would make it nearly impossible to clean, but I was wrong - they clean up like a dream (I hand wash them). The grooves allow air to flow and make the crust brown perfectly all around. I was going to order the more expensive pans from Williams-Sonoma until I read that USA pans also makes those pans, therefore I ordered these. They are great pans for a great price!

Question: How many pads come with it?

I bought this, my first experience with steam mops, based on the positive reviews here, and I am honestly on-the-fence about my purchase satisfaction. My primary use is for the tile in my kitchen (and possibly for two bathrooms). It only takes about five minutes for the unit to get hot enough to produce steam, which is nice. And the steam gets hot enough to make the floor tiles hot if you leave it in place for a minute, which is good for getting off the stuck-on messes associated with kitchen spills. 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! I think I am going to look into buying extra pads. The unit comes with two, which I swap out mid-clean, but I need more than that just to cover my 14x14 kitchen floor without leaving the tiles soaking wet from a wet pad, and then having to go over them with an old towel. I was hoping I could steam a larger area without the watery mess, hence only three stars in my review.

Question: Why doesn't the handle have flattened areas?

Only "complaint" is that the design makes it harder to hold onto. Since the handle is round and has no flattened areas, it tends to torque in your hands in certain cases. The design tries to make up for this by the slight curvatures in the handle, but it doesn't quite address the torquing issue.

Question: What caused the broken glass?

This is the second LG vacuum I own, pushing my older one downstairs to be used in our finished basement. They aren't light, so as great as I think they are, they aren't fun to carry up and down stairs.The older version had a button that retracted the cord. It was fun to watch the cord come home and this one is old-fashioned by comparison. So, the fun factor is gone. Likely, there must have been some complications with the push-button.One of the first duties of this vacuum was to remove broken glass inside my daughter's car, recently broken into by shattering a car window. It sucked up everything great, including nooks and crannies, and the cannister was easy to empty safely. I had some vision of opening the cannister only to have the contents pop out, but that wasn't the case at all.I do like the swivel action on the vacuum and overall am pleased with it. If I have any concern, it's durability. The older version did have some of it's plastic components break. I don't think this will be the last vacuum cleaner you ever buy, but it will do you well for a few years.

Question: How does the author seperate the salad when she packs it?

I have had this product now for about one month and I love it! It keeps my salad greens cool and dry and the tray on top lets you keep your salad toppings just as you like them.. I put the wetter toppings on one side and the dryer toppings on the other. And the dressing container holds enough dressing. I really pack it in there. My salad is perfect every time. The latches work well, it has never come open. 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.. No biggie. Buy this. You will be happy with it!

Question: what additional hardware does the writer need for the old computer?

I finally got around to using the attachments to clean out the inside of my old computer. I bought it at a local computer shop about five years ago. It had been made for someone who never picked it up. I was going to get rid of it because it kept cutting off. I decided to take off the cover and see if there was something I could do. I figured, I couldn't hurt it, so why not. There was a unit inside with a fan attached (not the one on the power box). It was packed with so much gunk that I could not clean with q tips. This attachment worked wonderfully! I vacuumed out all the accumulated dust as well. It appeares to be fine. I will see and if it remains ok I will upgrade it. All I will need is an additional memory chip and win 7. I can also use these attachments to clean other things as well. They are worth every penny I paid for them.

Question: When traveling what can you pack this in?

This is one of those invetions I wish I had invented. Simple, durable, inexpensive and the best damn coffee you can brew with a very simple set up and easy clean up. We took it traveling and it takes up no space (fits in a shoe when you pack) and, along with an electric hot water boiler, we had the best coffee on the ship and before room service ever woke up. If you like your coffee and tired of breaking the glass French press unit, this is for you. In fact, I think the coffee it makes, if you follow the directions and pour the water slowly, makes much better coffee than a French press. You will need a finer ground or at least that is what we used same as for espresso. It might work with regular grind but you'd need to experiment.

Question: What is the bread machine very good at making?

I really like this machine. I have made bread for years by hand but found I was making it less and less. I bought the book " The bread machine cookbook" at the same time that I bought this bread maker. It is a perfect compliment. I have made about ten different recipes from this book and they all have been perfect. The machine works very well and is very easy to program for the different types of breads. I now make organic bread when ever we need it. It just requires adding all of the ingredients and just turn it on.

Question: What has the user done to the thermometer?

I have this thermometer in black and it's been great.Important tip to note: Stick the metal tip into item, let it sit for a couple of seconds and then turn on the thermometer. Do this and you'll get the instant read feature. 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. This takes a bit of time. So be sure you stick it into your item FIRST, let the metal acclimate to the temperature of the item, and then turn it on. Then you'll get the instant read each time.I've washed this, I've dropped it, and it's still going strong. It's not a replacement for an oven thermometer or a probe thermometer, but it's great at what it's designed for - a quick and easy instant read thermometer.

Question: What is the main reason that the reviewer does not like the product?

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. Could see $50 - 60.However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores.In other words a good piece of work but not quite up to my expectations based on the reviews. You won't be disappointed over the long haul, but the immediate impression is not quite as brilliant as you want it to be.

Question: Typically, what does the pressure in typical presses do?

Love it. Beautiful french press. Perfect size for either one or two. If drinking coffee alone, the amount is little enough that you won't waste any, and if you have a friend, you'll still have enough for the both of you. Materials-wise, this is perfect. I've had many french presses where the pressure of plunging spills coffee out everywhere and over everything. Not this one. The seal is good and feels well made. It shows no signs of age after using daily for months now.The one downside is that the press does little to no insulating, meaning your coffee gets cold fairly quickly.

Materials-wise, this is perfect. <hl> I've had many french presses where the pressure of plunging spills coffee out everywhere and over everything . <hl> Not this one. The seal is good and feels well made. It shows no signs of age after using daily for months now. The one downside is that the press does little to no insulating, meaning your coffee gets cold fairly quickly.

Question: Why is a skillet on a cooker considered to be better recipients of potholders' usefulness?

I had some cloth potholders and I had a set of ove gloves. One of my ove gloves was getting ratty and old and i tossed it. Since they are $19.99 a piece I thought I would give these less expensive ($11 a set) potholders a try. I like the silicone products as they are very heat resistant. These are nice that you can take something out of the oven and use the pot holder as a trivet. However you must be careful because it can be difficult to bend the squares and they don't fold evenly. What I tend to do is pull one side out by the edge and place the other potholder underneath the dish and move it to the table that way rather than grip each end. It's impossible to take something out of the toaster oven because the racks are too close and you'll either burn your hand or melt the pot holder. I do find them very useful for say a skillet on the stove top that you can just wrap around it. Overall I think I will get myself a new ove glove as the other one is now getting pretty bad too.

Question: What fits the pan perfectly?

I was genuinely shocked at the quality of this pan compared to the price I paid. Completely worth it. It's a 5 ply, and the bottom is HEAVY. The lid fits perfectly and is also quite heavy. I can cook anything in it, it's very wide and shallow enough to pan sear steaks or saute asparagus or cook a whole breakfast like in the picture. It holds and distributes heat well and can easily burn, but cleans up just fine with some steel wool or baking soda. This is my go to pan for meats. Solid construction.

Question: How much was the Ionizer?

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? That is how deep your socket must be in order to turn the Ionizer on. Then you have to constantly adjust it in the socket in order for it to stay ON.Finally it has such little power that it would take about six weeks for it to purify the air in an SUV, possibly longer.Not what I expected until I realized that it was made in China. Truly another piece of imported garbage. It is a very expensive piece of plastic junk.Buy American - if you can find it.

Question: How does the product's handle feel?

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). 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. Not that they can't 'last' in the pan without melting - just not suggested to keep them in there.The handles feel good, have a nice 'weight', and work well. Enjoy!

Question: Despite cooking unevenly, the pancakes are still thoroughly what?

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. When making pancakes you can clearly see that parts of the pancake are cooking faster/better. 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. If it were not for the uneven heat I would definitely rate this at a 4 or 5 stars, but I really expected more for the overall review rating.

Question: What is the brand name of the reverse osmosis filtration system purchased?

I am new to Reverse Osmosis (RO) filter sys. I bought a Intellitec water purity tester to check water quality. The tester reads Total Dissolved Solids(TDS), in parts per million (PPM).

Question: Where is it manufactured?

The salt shaker seems well made, and it's 18/8 stainless, according to the information stamped on the bottom. But it's from China, so only time will tell if that's true.My only complaint is this: the friggin' labels are nearly impossible to remove! 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. Why? Why? Why? Turned a good product into a PITA!

Question: What product is the reviewer writing about?

These glasses I picked up because I wanted to experiment with some Absinthe mixes. With my large ice cube tray, these seemed the perfect glass for it. I did not want to just get a normal set of glasses, something you might get at the "Red Bullseye" store. Or even just something cheap. 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.When I got them, they were nice clear, solid glasses with the right width. All 6 were in perfect shape and shipped well. I never heard of the company Spiegelau, but I really like the glasses. They feel good in the hand. They show off the drink well. I wanted a good glass and I got a good glass. So I am happy with them.

Question: What kind of hot beverage does the customer most often buy?

I am a big fan of cappuccino, and it's probably the espresso-based drink that I most frequently order when I go out to a coffee shop. I have a small espresso machine at home, but until now I was not able to use it to make any of the more involved coffee concoctions. This little Eparé milk frother has enabled me to froth-up my own milk.The frother is very elegant, easy to use and operate, and it sits very comfortably in your hand. I've used it to froth up some regular milk, and have tried it as well with rice milk. The regular milk was mostly a success, albeit the froth was not as "stable" and rich as i would have liked. The rice milk was an almost complete failure. Despite my best efforts I was only able to produce a very small amount of froth. 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.The frother was extremely easy to clean. You you submerge the whisking part into the soapy water and turn it on a few times, and then just rinse it afterwards.If you are really serious about getting frothy milk and other drinks I would recommend that you check out one of those steamers. If you are less picky about such things than this small frother would be more than adequate.**** Product provided for review purposes. ****

Question: what is the b70 better suited for?

This brewer is functionally the Platinum B70 Keurig brewer. It accepts the standard K-cups and produces an exceptional single cup of coffee on demand. The Keurig brewing system is easy to use, produces little mess while producing great cups of coffee.This brewer includes the filter system and the reusable My K-Cup that must be purchased with the other systems. The stainless steel exterior and slightly different design is the most visible difference. Internally, this is a better-constructed brewer, less prone to problems with a higher customer rating than the B70 system.Having used both, I find this system to make less noise with a sturdier feel. Controls are about the same. I feel the B70 is slightly easier to filling with water but not so much as to make this a buying decision. If you make one or two cups of coffee a day, go with the B70. If you make six to ten cups of coffee a day, I would consider this machine.

Question: When was the previous one purchased?

I am very excited about this vacuum. Maybe overly excited, because the one I'd been using for the past couple years was purchased by my parents in the mid-90s and it had gotten to the point where you had to twist the handle as far as you could (till it made a crunching noise) and put all your weight on it to get it to clean anything for a few seconds.Anyway. Pretty much any vacuum would be better than that, but this vacuum works and looks better than most others I've used. Its footprint is of a reasonable size, and I appreciate how contained the components and features are. (In the past I have used cumbersome canister vacuums.) I'm very impressed with how close to the wall it picks up dirt. The cleaning wand pops right out and makes it so easy to switch between tasks and get anything the brushroll can't quite reach. The air powered turbo tool gets the stairs cleaner than they've been in recent memory.Above all, I love the HEPA filter. Ordinarily, vacuuming stirs up dust and pollen and allergens that leave me sneezing for hours. Instead of stirring things up, this vacuum actually picks them up. It's so nice to be able to get the floor clean without aggravating my allergies and/or asthma!

Question: Roughly how many Gerber Graduates sippy cups does the author have?

We have about 35 of the 10 oz. Gerber Graduates sippy cups that were cluttering up our counter top. My son goes thru 10-12 cups per day and over time we've bought tons of these cups. I got the bright idea that maybe this can holder would work to organize them, measured and decided to make the investment. Works perfectly -- we have space for 15 cups per level (without lids it would hold a total of 45). On the top rack I place the lids (can layer these 2 deep if needed). There is room for everything and now it's easy to grab a cup & lid when we need it, and easy to fill when they are done in the dishwasher. Wish I'd had this when I was dealing with dozens of baby bottles, too!

Question: What is the ground beef and onions cooked for?

I have had the Ozeri 8" Green Earth Frying Pan for a couple of months now, and received the matching lid about a month ago. Prior to having the lid, I was using the pan for scrambled eggs, omelets, and other cooking that I didn't need a lid for. When cooking chops, and putting it in the oven, I had to cover it with aluminum foil.Now that I have the lid I can cook ground beef, and onions, for a Shepherd's pie. I also use the pan for making my favorite dish, which is an Indian curry.The lid is tempered glass, and has a really neat vent area, for allowing the steam to come out. It is silver in color, the same as the rim of the lid, and has a hole in the middle, with 4 smaller ones around the outside of it. The lid fits perfecting into the Green Earth Frying Pan.Now when I am cooking my pork chops, I can sear then in the pan, and transfer the pan, and lid, into the oven. As long as I keep the temperature down to 392 F or below, it is ovenproof. I normally cook my chops at 325 F.When using the lid, the black handle/knob, which is on the top, stays cool, making for easy cooking.I can watch my food cooking through the clear glass lid. Before I would have to check my food, by taking off the lid, to ensure it didn't run dry.I always wash my pots and pans by hand. However, this lid is suitable to go into the dishwasher.I was sent the 8" Green Earth Frying Pan Lid, by Ozeri for my personal use. I was under no contract, or obligation to write a review, or to write a favorable one if I chose to write one.

Question: What has good intentions?

The system itself has good intentions and isn't overly cheap, but it is certainly not going to make the complex cup of coffee that a french press or Chemex will.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. Maybe for iced coffee - maybe - but not for the add-hot-water-to-concentrate crowd that has cropped up. You are short-changing the complex flavors that only hot water can extract.

Question: Which substance causes the need to weigh ingredients more?

I can never have too many scales in my kitchen. This is one of my favorite scales because it's so reliable. 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. It also allows to tare/zero out weight as needed. The scale also measures out grams, ounces, fluid ounces and kilograms. And I like how it's easy to clean and made of durable tempered glass that can hold up to 11 pounds.

Question: What can be used to aid in the bread slipping right out of the pan?

Good thing it's so sturdy because in my first attempt the dough rose so well with the oven-spring it squeezed out of the end of the lid like tooth paste. 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. The bread slipped right out of the pan with no assistance. I just sprayed a little PAM in the pan and lid for for greasing. The loaf was thoroughly baked (200F), the crust was good, and the bread tasted great.Sturdy, functional, effective and made in the USA. I have no regrets with this purchase.

Question: How does the reviewer suggest that you cure the griddle?

I bought this Lodge, Grill / Griddle expressly for use on a Coleman stove. It fit beautifully and the remarkable job it did on recent camping trips surprised everyone who enjoyed the end products. There is one observation which is so obvious it amazed me I hadn't thought of it at first. If you're using both sides ... the side facing the stove top will come out 'dry' with no curing on it. Duh ... so you use a little oil and wipe it down both sides after scrubbing down with water and a good nylon bristle brush.Small thing to remember but it didn't occur to me until I used it.Great product and it fits perfectly on a two burner Coleman.

Answer: you use a little oil and wipe it down both sides after scrubbing down with water and a good nylon bristle brush

Question: How big is the floor?

I bought this, my first experience with steam mops, based on the positive reviews here, and I am honestly on-the-fence about my purchase satisfaction. My primary use is for the tile in my kitchen (and possibly for two bathrooms). It only takes about five minutes for the unit to get hot enough to produce steam, which is nice. And the steam gets hot enough to make the floor tiles hot if you leave it in place for a minute, which is good for getting off the stuck-on messes associated with kitchen spills. 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! I think I am going to look into buying extra pads. The unit comes with two, which I swap out mid-clean, but I need more than that just to cover my 14x14 kitchen floor without leaving the tiles soaking wet from a wet pad, and then having to go over them with an old towel. I was hoping I could steam a larger area without the watery mess, hence only three stars in my review.

Question: What kind of affair was the last pressure cooker?

Just received this unit, and I'm very happy with it so far. It is easy to assemble, sturdy, and most importantly has a very simple design which I anticipate will be durable into the future. My previous pressure cooker was a complex affair with springs and components tucked away in plastic housing so that they could not be accessed. This design, on the other hand, is much more simplistic, which is a very good thing. It cost about 1/4 the price of the cheapest PC that I could get in local stores (including postage), and is a preferable design.

Question: Is the product is useful?

Great invention, but it is a bit bulky. I would suggest keeping it in the box so as not to lose any parts. It works great for drying fresh cut pasta doe.

Question: What kind of hangers did the customer have problems with?

Question: What kind of cook wear have they had for over 50 years?

I'm so over the disposable salt and peppers -- I try to refill them and that doesn't work. I use too much seasoning in my cooking especially to have to be throwing them out!Edited: These have larger holes than the last shakers we've had. Just sayin' -- be prepared and don't hold them upside down unless you want a lot of salt or pepper.The other glass ones I've had were cheaper and the salt eats through the finish on the lids. I bought two sets so I could have one for the table and one at the kitchen range.I have had FarberWare cook wear for over fifty years, so am counting on these bringing good service.

Question: What do the containers do really well in the pantry and fridge?

I am SO completely hooked on Lock & Lock containers. Fruit and veggies seem to last forever. I have stored strawberries for weeks without them molding or going bad. Leftovers stay fresh longer. Foods don't dry out or get moldy. I find way fewer "science experiments" in the back of the refrigerator! ;o) Pasta, rice, cereals, crackers and cookies just don't get stale. The containers don't stain and stack really well in the pantry or fridge. (For best results, don't forget to press hard on the center of the lid to create some vacuum before snapping the last lock closed.)

Question: What kind of area should I set this on?

Cool idea. It helps keep the sponge out of the sink plus off the back of the sink. There needs to a pretty flat area of sink to put this on in order for it to stay best. If your sink is too curved it may not stay stuck for long. Even if you do need to restick it now and then though, I wouldn't count that as a deal breaker. It's just something that happens with suction cups. Even my gps falls off my car window sometimes. It still does the job, just needs to be put back up. All in all I am content with the cradle and would buy it again.

Question: How big is the tank?

This is a substantial piece of brass! I realize it's WAY over priced. Everyone is looking to make a buck off the Sodastream bandwagon, it seems. But once you look past the price gouging, it IS worth it. 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, but it's still way better than $15/14.5oz without the sodamod. Just bite the bullet and get it.

Question: What is the author's occupation?

Being retired and living alone I was looking for a slow cooker to be able to cook enough to make a couple of meals and something that worked and worked well. I had a couple of other slow cookers that I wasn't that happy with so looked for another and found this and it looked like what I wanted so bought it. I have been using it since I received it and in fact cooking tonight's meal in it and must say I love this slow cooker. I like the digital timer and cooking level and it works and works well. If I could give it more stars I would as this cooker is more then worth the money and I can not find any faults with it.
