Question: How long has the person owned the hotplate?

I've been using my hotplate daily for 14 months now. It still works and (nearly) looks like new. It has served me well, because I recognize its limitations.If I cook in my 12" skillet or my super-large steamer pot, I expect to see longer cook times. That being said, I have made dozens of fried or sautéed dishes in the 12" skillet, and I've cooked pasta many times in the big pot, with excellent results. But, patience is required.However, if I use my 1-quart saucepan or my 8" skillet, I'm king of the hill. That is the size of cookware that this hotplate was made to handle. The saucepan will boil in only a few minutes; the skillet will cook an omelet in five minutes or fewer. (I would imagine one would get great results, too, using a 2-quart saucepan, or a 10" skillet, because they would still fit the heating element quite nicely.)The heavy iron pad on the heating element maintains heat evenly.I got the impression when I read some of the one-star and two-star reviews that people are expecting a Volkswagen to pull a rail car.One reviewer said he was trying to use this unit to heat a skillet on his patio.Hmmm... Ever heard the expression "if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen"? That is because kitchens need to be sealed environments. You don't have big open windows, and you don't have big fans, even in professional kitchens. It's impossible to regulate the heat or to obtain the heat you need if a breeze is blowing across your stove.If you plan to use this hotplate when camping, then you're going to have to find a proper shield for it.Folks, this hotplate contains a 1000-watt heating element. For comparison, consider that, on most commercially available electric ranges, the SMALLEST burner is 1200 watts. Often, one burner on that range top will meet or exceed 3000 watts.Obviously, this little guy is not going to perform like a built-in range.As to the complaint that the hotplate gets hot on the bottom and transfers that heat to the countertop it is sitting on; again, if you're trying to boil a gallon of water, or cook two quarts of chili, you're going to overheat this hotplate, and it's going to transfer that heat.I've been using my hotplate, as I said for 14 months, over a laminated countertop, and I don't have any burning or bubbling thereon.One final thing. The electric circuit that you plug into is going to have a big effect on the efficiency of this hotplate's 1000-watt element. If you're on a camping trip, for instance, and using a generator for power, or if you're on an electric circuit in some remote area, you may not be getting enough power in to get 1000 watts out.This hotplate has met all my expectations; thus, five stars.*EDIT*One reviewer said that their hotplate did not sit evenly on a flat surface. Please note that the hotplate comes with TWO DIFFERENT-SIZED RUBBER PLUG-IN FEET, three flat ones, and one that is thicker. By moving these, one can always keep the unit flat and steady, even if the unit should warp during use (which mine never has). I've never had to move the rubber feet around, but I thought I'd mention it since at least one reviewer was clueless.

Question: What is the price of the repair to the mixer?

I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. It died while making cookie dough. 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. I never expected miracles: bread flour is hard to knead and I'm careful about kneading times and quantities. This is not a professional machine, it's a home appliance. Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.So, I have reluctantly come to agree with the Kitchenaid bashers here. Based on my experience, the current crop of mixers is not high quality and my next mixer will not be Kitchenaid, sorry to say.It's sad to watch an iconic brand destroy its reputation.

Question: What do they rate the shelves?

These shelves are about average for this type of shelves. They may be just a bit harder than some to get the top leg halves installed. End of review (for the review police). 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. Makes it much easier.

Question: What's the weight of the sheets?

I was not expecting sateen sheets, I like heavy smooth cotton sheets. These are heavy, not all that smooth and small, the bottom sheet fit nice and tight, but one of the corners had a hole in it. The top sheet is tiny. It barely tucks in at the end (my mattress is thick but but not a pillow top or super thick) there's about 3 inches hanging past the end of the mattress and barely covers the mattress on the sides. I waited for these to go down for about 8 months - so though I only paid $64.99 - I'm returning them. Oh, the pillow cases barely cover my pillows. (and they are standard size) Buy at your own risk.

Question: How long does it take the Hot Shot to boil water?

That's the height of mugs that this Hot Shot can accommodate. All of my coffee mugs are between 3-1/2 and 4" so it works fine. I fill a mug with cold water, pour it into the Hot Shot, and I've got boiling water in 90 seconds. (Full disclosure: Then, you have to drain the water into your cup, so that by the time you're done about two minutes has past. So, it isn't really faster than a microwave, but it's no slower.) After I fill my cup with the now boiling water, I open the top and the residual heat from the coil makes the thin film of water that's left evaporate almost immediately.Once the water boils, the Hot Shot cuts off automatically, so there's no problem leaving it plugged in.Highly recommended!

Question: What part of the author's body is happy?

The Siwvel Sweeper G2 is a handy little dvice to have around - it's great at picking up crumbs, dog food, broken glass and dust - the ony thing I would say is that I have a large dog and I have to keep cleaning the brushes because the hair winds around the brushes - but for quick pick ups it's fantastic. I use it on the steps, hard floors, in the bathroom - We are getting ready to sell our house and it's great to just zoom through the house first thing in the morning. I gave my second one away to my son but now I am sorry I did because it would really be handy to keep one on each floor. It stores neatly and is great for picking up crumbs under tables etc. My house stays a lot cleaner and I only have to drag the vaccum cleaner out once a week - good for me! Good for my back.

Question: What is the cookware made of?

We have an entire set of All-Clad, and need to add a couple more pieces. They're expensive! So why pay such a high price? Because without execption, there is none better. These pots and pans are built to last, out last and then some. The bottoms never warp so it's always even heating, no wolbbling on the burner, food doesn't run to one edge.Cleaning is a snap. Being stainless steel, the surface is very smooth and hard. If something does manage to get stuck, I just put water and liquid soap in the pot, and boil it for 5 minutes. Comes right out.Yes, they are expensive at first, but when you figure all the years they're going to last, cost per year is cheap. 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. That makes them very cheap.

Question: What is the brand of these penguin soap pumps?

I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion. They have been in frequent use for a couple of years with never a clog or a drip! Both of mine are black, so I use different colors of soap & lotion so that no one gets confused. I like that I can see the fill level through the front, so I don't risk finding the container empty when I need it most. It is easy to press on the top with my clean wrist or the back of my hand, so I never have to touch the dispenser with dirty or greasy fingers - this means the dispensers still look good after all this time. The (black) case cover unscrews from a clear, wide-mouth container, so it is super easy to refill. I had a chrome caddy that grapefruit scented soap & lotion came in, and the Umbra dispensers fit perfectly into that caddy. This purchase has worked out really well for me. An easy 5 stars.

Question: In what way did the reviewer change their review?

This is my second T-Fal purchase, spend 6 mo with their cheaper model, and thisProfessional model is a pleasure to use. So many features and I'm able to use metalturners with this one.Only time will confirm how the anti-warp feature will work but meanwhile I'm a happy camper.I like the feel of the handle grip and the see through lid. I'll let my cast iron skillet rest for a while.When and if it warps, I'll update this promptly.Don't waste your time and monies on the cheaper models, I'm sorry I did.Good Luck9/21/13 after extensive use it has not warped and it's been through some heavy usage.11/25/13 and it will warp, lots of usage and it is warped, very disappointing.*** 11/29/13 *** after a call to Amazon got the number for T-fal USA then got into and endless telephone loop where you just listen to the computer repeat the same message 5 times, hangup- and rewrite my review, they are not specific about the warrant, so forget that and so I'm back to a clad stainless steel that I know won't warp. It was great until it warped and that was reason for buying this in the first place. 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.MY advice move on don't waste your money on one that has no warranty department that you can talk to.I'll just donate this to Goodwill tor a tax deduct.

Question: What has the author zested with this product?

This is my second winco chinese cleaver. I sharpen and hone it every time I use it. I have cut myself pretty nicely with it too. But man is it versatile. It's light, easy to hold, and can be used to slice shallots paper thin, tomatoes, and if you turn it at a 90 degree angle, this thing is great for bashing almonds until they crack. I have even zested a lemon with it, slowly shaving it like that mob boss slices garlic with a razor blade in Goodfellas. The massive blade will slowly disappear as you sharpen it daily, but that's ok, just buy a new one when it's gone! You can buy really expensive knives but why? Unless you're wealthy and money is no object to you.

Question: What overflows?

I have had the Zojirushi coffee maker for over 6 months now. If I had it to do over again, I'd purchase a different brand of coffee maker. Here's why: The lid on the carafe is too difficult to open and once open the coffee pours out too slowly. The coffee holder must be placed a certain way or you'll wake up to counters and floors full of spilled coffee. If even a little bit of coffee overflows the filter it is certain to clog the carafe and once again, counters and floors are running over with coffee. My opinion is that the Zojirushi is overpriced, under-engineered, and not a great choice.

Question: How much liquid does the IngenuiTEA hold?

I have always enjoyed tea and more recently loose leaf tea. I needed any easy way to enjoy my loose leaf tea and my searches led me to the IngenuiTEA. I bought it from Amazon, since it is cheaper then on Adagio's website and upon receiving it I tried my first brew. It was so easy to use, I was in awe! Open the lid, put desired amount of loose leaf tea (or ground coffee) in, pour hot water in (I use my Keurig machine, without a KCup) seep for appropriate amount of time and then (and this is the best part), put the Ingenuitea over a coffee mug and press it down a bit. The strained tea pours into your cup. 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. Clean up is easy... I simply put water in, and dump out into my disposal. I love that it holds 16 oz, so I can enjoy a couple cups and also that it is 100% BPA-free. Everyone who has seen the IngenuiTEA in action has wanted one and I have given it as a gift as well. It's the simple things that make my day and a great cup of tea that was a breeze to make is one of them! Enjoy!

Question: What speaks for itself?

with 3-4 folks camping, i struggled with 4qt vs 6qt. The 6qt 12in is pretty heavy but is perfect size for our campouts. The 4qt/10in would have been too small. The instruction book and recipe book were excellent in getting us started. 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.

Question: What had 1/16" of dust on it?

I read all of the previous reviews. My research said this was the best item.I have used it for a month. Prefilter had 1/16" of dust on it. The inner filters had very little accumulation. It does better than the name brand tabletop that claims to do a 30' x 30' room. Maybe I expect too much. Will monitor the purifier and advise later if I see noticeable improvement. I am within the parameters listed by manufacturer for the size room purifer to be used in. The problem I am dealing with is dust created by the hot air heating system. 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 furnace is not strong enough. I expect to update this review later.

Question: In which area does the filter holder slide from the water compartment?

How does one review a water filter? I made several pots of coffee in my new coffee maker w/o the filter. They tasted very good. Next I inserted the filter and made more coffee. I could not detect any difference in taste. It still had the same good taste. 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. Based on my experience the only thing I can review is the filter setup. The filter holder slides easily out of the slot in the bottom of the water compartment. The filter is simply placed into the holder which, in turn, is effortlessly inserted back into the water compartment. Not having anything else to go by I feel obligated to rate the filter a 5 due to its ease of use. However, because I have been making coffee 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.

Question: When did the reviewer get a nice set of coffee beans?

I usually buy my coffee in small quantities pre-ground. At Christmas I received a really nice set of different coffee beans, so I bought this so I could grind the whole beans. I thought it performed well. It produced a nice grind and was easy to use. The cup lifts out, is cleanable, and easy to reinsert without incident. The exterior is easy to clean. I spray a little stainless cleaner on a towel and polish it. It stores easily and has a fairly powerful motor.I also use this to grind spices (does a great job on ginger) and pulverize the spices and herbs from my garden at the end of the season. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes freshly ground coffee, etc. It does an efficient job and doesn't cost and arm and a leg to get it home from the store.

Question: What type of filter did this person find difficult  to use with the ground coffee?

I read the reviews then decided to order it. All went well with shipping, seller, etc. It is fantastic; solid,and so easy to just push the button and let it do all the work. 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. Also, pouring the ground coffee out into a paper filter can be a little sloppy, but that is probably the case with any grinder. It is heavy, so may be a little clumsier to pour than lighter ones. All in all, I would buy this again and stick with this model.

Question: What did a good job with the fan blades?

The ORECK ULTIMATE HANDHELD VACUUM is a wonderful device for getting to awkward locations. It has a shoulder strap, a long power cord, and several attachments that make reaching corners, ceiling fans, drapes, and the like a snap. The first thing I tried was to clean my oh-so-dusty ceiling fan blades. This was pretty straightforward, although I have high ceilings and needed a step ladder (a 2-stepper.) And it worked, but with caveats. First, ceiling fans move. That complicates things. It took a few minutes of trial and error to get a groove going whereby I could move the brush attachment along the length of the fan blade before the fan presented me with a new blade. (And NO! It was NOT turned on!) Even so, I felt like Lucy and was certain I could hear a laugh track. The vacuum did a pretty good job with the fan blades, but there was still dust when I was finished (meaning, when my arms gave out and I gave up.) To be fair, I have not cleaned our fan blades in a REALLY long time.The ORECK ULTIMATE HANDHELD VACUUM is really light weight and extremely easy to use, making it perfect for a host of other odd uses as well. It did a fantastic job sucking up debris, dust, cat litter, fur, etc. from under the lip of the kitchen kitchen counter and around the base boards, both traditionally difficult places to get completely clean, It easily knocked out the paces between the sofa cushions, and was much easier to use on the stair case than my upright vac.While I still hate to vacuum, the ORECK ULTIMATE HANDHELD VACUUM makes it all that much easier. I definitely recommend the ORECK ULTIMATE HANDHELD VACUUM for all those hard to get places.

Question: what humidifier still works after three months?

First off - this is a semi-disposable item. The tank is extremely thin and cheaply made and I wonder how long it will last. The humidifier is easy to clean and has no 90 degree angles that are impossible to clean with a q-tip. I disinfect once a week with vinegar and otherwise replace the water in the tank daily. It's a little bit hard for my wife to align the tank properly when seating it in the base. 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. It's easy to change the amount of humidity. I put a little sticker on the dial so we could get the right amount each night.Update - broke after 3 months. The owl humidifier I got for my son's room made by a different manufacturer still works OK.

Question: what is the perfect length

i purchased this for cooking pizzas when we go RVing. i use a camp chef stove and recently purchased their pizza oven. haven't tried the oven yet, but it's clear that if you buy that you will need one of these "peels" (oversize spatula) to get things in and out. i really like this size. the flat spatula part is nicely sized, thick enough not to bend, but thin enough so that it'll be easy to get pizzas (or other) on and off. the handle is the perfect length! it'll get your items in and out of any residential or camp oven, but it's no so long as to make it a storing hassle. i thought the price was very reasonable too.

Question: Besides jam, apple sauce, and apple pieces, what else has been cooked in the pan?

the seasonsed surface worked perfectly for me 1st time. Followed directions, greased the pan with a little butter applied wtih a silicone pastr brush. No problems. Got lazy & didn't worry too much about greasing & just added a spec of butter when they started to release not quite as cleanly. Worked very well. Perhaps the secre it getting the pan to the right temp? I used various fillings after testing wtih afew plain ones just in case - jam, apple pieces, apple sauce, choc chips - all worked well. Woudl recommend this pan to anyone.

I used various fillings after testing wtih afew plain ones just in case - jam, apple pieces, apple sauce, <hl> choc chips <hl> - all worked well. Woudl recommend this pan to anyone.


Question: How are the sides defined as?

Many lunch totes on the market are bulky; this one is not. It has very soft sides, so you will have to package your food in a durable container to prevent it from being crushed.One nice this is that this is made from neoprene and is easy to clean.One drawback is that the zipper is hard to close sometimes...and to be specific, hard to get started to close. Once it gets going, it moves well.I'm not totally convinced that the 4 hours this product claims to keep food items insulated is accurate. I put it in the our refridgerator at work and my food got colder, even after an hour. I tend to think the opposite would happen if I left the bag at room temperature.All in all, it has a nice look, and the shoulder strap is at a really great length. I'd say it is durable enough for most people.

Question: How long did it take to assemble?

I ordered this frame in king size after reading the reviews and am really happy that I did. When I opened the box it looked like it might be difficult to assemble, but it was really easy! It took my husband and I about half an hour, and I honestly could have done it myself if I had to. It is solid wood and looks lovely as is, but can be stained to match your other furniture. It does sit a little higher than your average bed, but since we're using it without a box spring it is the perfect hight. Best of all, it is really sturdy and noiseless. It was exactly what I was looking for!I also have to say that this seller is great! World of Futons shipped this the day after I ordered (which was Saturday) and I had it by Wednesday! I've ordered much smaller items that took twice as long (or even longer)to receive. I really can't say enough good things about this seller and highly recommend them.

Question: What kind of tub is it good for?

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. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a tension rod, since you'll be putting bottles of fluids in it. But otherwise it holds the bottles and brushes and loofas fine. My (women's) razors did NOT fit well in the smaller pockets up top and tend to fall out. Also not the most attractive thing, but not uglier than anything else available. And it works.

The top has a nice "P" and "S" on the top brass node to distinguish which is which on eyesight.The mechanisms are highest quality and smoothly grind 6 different levels with out any issues. Pretty great product, we're very pleased. Great addition to our cooking experience as we cook at home most every night and meal preparations are an event for us.

Question: how does the the authors current kettle work

I have had 3 or 4 kettles in the last couple of years. The Oxo, which is as/more expensive, went to hell so fast it was bizarre: warped, looking like it was fished out of a dumpster. Then I got another one that was a disaster: also got ugly weeks into its tour of duty. Second one was an even bigger disaster though because the hole was not big enough to get my hand down inside and white stuff started to appear in the water.This one works fine, and there is no problem pouring using it (??). It is staying clean, though as is the case w/all stainless, keeping it clean means special treatment. Still, 10x better than the other two I had.

Question: How long does it take for the reviewers hand to get hot when holding something very 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. 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. This is a situation I almost never run into, so, if I could, I'd give this product 4.5 stars.Recommended!

Question: How does the writer feel about the purchase?

Question: What picks up pieces of food?

I have toddler twins and for months have been picking up food remnants by hand or lugging out the huge Bissel vacuum to clean up after their food throwing shenanigans.This product has changed my life. It picks up pieces the size of a tortilla chip or smaller, which is pretty much all of the debris that clutter my flooring. It makes cleanup a breeze after mealtime, when my kids show off their "throwing bean" skills and manage to turn dinner into an olympic sport. 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.

Question: Is the Simple Human or Kamenstein paper towel holder more attractive?

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). We have stainless steel appliances in our kitchen, so this was a nice (and, moreover, functional) addition. 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 live in Florida and on a hot summer day our apartment AC stopped working. Thats when we realised we need a back up desk fan inorder to stay alive.

Although I dont use much of the up & down feature, it is still nice to have.Buy this if u need cool breeze.. I prefer this over my AC now...Definitely cuts down your electicity bill.

Question: What can this knife do?

Was looking for an low cost Chinese Chef's knife that performs well at an affordable price. Decided to try this one out after reading the positive reviews. I was not expecting much for the price, but thought that it would be a good start without spending lots of money. To my surprise, this knife turns out to be one of my favorites given that it can handle most of your slicing, chopping, scooping and dicing all with one tool!The weight is perfect since its not a meat cleaver, and it handles fine dicing to rough chopping amazingly well! You really cant beat it for the price, and even with cost aside, it is a great knife to have in your arsenal. It is my general go to knife now, and works amazingly well especially with my new found love of wok cooking (mostly thai food)

Question: What object did this person think they had damaged badly?

I thought I had ruined my All-Clad pan when I boiled it dry accidentally. Oh, I was so upset with myself! The inside was charred and dull.

It has restored the inside beautifully - it now looks like it did before I "ruined" it. I could not be more amazed or more pleased. Buy this product and make your All-Clad pans look like new!

Question: How many different flavors of drinks do I typically keep in fridge at any given time?

I've had my sodastream for a few weeks now and love it. It is easy to use, and I love the end result. I drink a lot of soda, and am used to buying big 2-liter bottles, or 12 or 24 packs of drinks. Having a sodastream means fewer trips to the store. It means that any given day I can make whatever flavor I fancy on a whim, rather than having to go a week drinking the same thing. Personally I think the 1-liter bottles are the perfect size. I typically keep 3 different ones in the fridge at any given time.I'm really impressed by the quality and variety of flavors. They have all the "usual" flavors: cola, lemon-lime, root beer, dr pepper etc. And compared to the "named brands", Sodastream's flavors match up very well imo. But they go way beyond that, with all kinds of exotic (and really good) flavors too. I was afraid originally that my choices would be restricted since I buy strictly diet drinks, but now. They have a huge variety of excellent sugar-free drinks.I'm very happy with my sodastream, and I'm sure I will be a customer for a long, long time.

Question: How can you keep splatter down when cooking bacon?

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. Draping a napkin over the bacon keeps the splatter down.The bacon came out crispy and dry, just as I prefer. Some reviews said their bacon was rubbery, and I think they just didn't cook long enough. Half-way through cooking, bacon always looks rubbery in the microwave. Keep cooking!

Question: What is their favorite cafe called, that is made in the keurig?

This is NOT the most expensive Keurig but the coffee, hot chocolate, etc. is just as good as the $300.00 brewer. Think about it. They all drip water through the K-Cup within 2 minutes so they all taste the same, not matter how much you paid for the brewer. I will always have my Hamilton Brew Station for my morning coffee but I use my Keurig at all times of the day for either decaf coffee, hot chocolate, cappuccino, and my favorites, Cafe Express Mocha and Vanilla coffees. My aunt has the more expensive Keurig and I tried her brewer and it is NO BETTER than this one. I absolutely love my Keurig.
