Question: What is the head made out of?

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. The end of the handle is smooth and rounded so it can be used with any grip. It is just over 8 inches long to reach down into tall glasses.This gadget is also useful for getting all the juice out of smaller citrus fruits like key limes or those expensive little sweet lemons that won't fit on a manual juicer. It could also be used as a meat tenderizer when cooking for one and it makes quick work of mashing garlic or cracking peppercorns.The handle is heavy-duty but it is hollow so it probably is better to hand wash as recommended, although the head does fit in very tightly and I don't see how water could get in.A sample was provided for testing and review. This is an attractive and functional bar and kitchen tool so I can definitely recommend it.

Question: What changes the speed manually?

There's a lot of of online comparisons between these two blenders. Both are great. But here are my comments to add more confusion to the mix. 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) Cons- The small jar is definitely not 64oz of usable liquid, you occasionally do need a tamper or something to get stuff dislodged( although it doesn't have one), the lid is harder to clean, and seems to make a bigger mess taking it off the containerVitamix 5000( similiar to the 5200) Pros- Has the tamper for when food gets stuck, large jar, easy to use lid. Cons- Base is very big. Have to use the knobs to change speeds manually. As noted I tried the model with preprogrammed settings for a week (from Sonoma Williams), but it walked all over the counter.Overall these are both good. I have a few things that will gum up the Vitamix, and turns out they also gum up the Blendtec. Both have a 7 year Warranty now. Costco online is running a special this week for the Blendtec at $369 with both jars, and a 8 year warranty. I mainly use my Blentec now but haven't sold the Vitamix yet. Just in case..

Question: Where was the EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale purchase from?

After looking over all of the available food scales on Amazon, I decided that the EatSmart Digital Nutrition Scale seemed like the best choice. I have to say that it is easy to use, looks nice, and has great features.The scale can be used to measure every food you want so there will not be any guessing of the nutritional content when using the scale.One of the great features is that you can put something, like a plate, on the scale and then have that weight subtracted so you can measure only the weight of what is on the plate.The scale isn't too big and looks very nice. Besides food, the scale can also be used to measure the weight of other things, such as small packages.

Question: What kind of squeegee does the vacuum have?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. 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. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: What appearance do they have?

Just got these today. I like them just on sight alone. They have a nice weight and I anticipate long wear as this is my 'entertaining' set of flatware. The product image gives the impression that the handles on the spoons and forks have a more voluminous shape. But they are flatter than the handle on the knives, which are more substantial rounded and hollow, though still of considerable weight. I'm guessing knifre handles must be weighted and filled out to balance the weight of the blade.Anyway, set is dinner party worthy and have real (nice!) restaurant quality appearance. The design is beatiful and not overtop making them a a plus to use with the good dishware. The overall appearance eliminates the need for super design-centric dishware and will very nicely accent good quality plain white dishes.

Question: what was previously being used as a warmer?

This warmer keeps my coffee warm, but not as warm as I would like. The unit slides away from you as you push at the on-off switch. This annoyance was overcome with some automobile trim mounting tape. 3M Company 1/2X5 Molding Tape 03609Na Automotive Tape A small square of this double-sided foam tape under each foot will hold it in one place on your desk or table. I bought the Mr. Coffee warmer to replace a homemade warmer that was better at keeping the coffee hot, but finally succumbed to old age. That warmer was made by cutting off the top half of an old 4-cup brewer and using the bottom half (warming plate and switch) as a mug warmer.

Question: Where can the whisk be washed up nicely?

I make Cream of Wheat about once a week (more if I'm sick) and it requires a whisk to stir it into the boiling water so it doesn't lump together. Having non-stick pots, meant I was using a large non metal spoon which left lumps in my Cream of Wheat. This whisk is perfect. No scratches on pot and mixes well, no lumps. It also washes up nicely in the dishwasher. I like this so much, I would buy it to be included with a kitchen themed gift (think bridal showers or weddings).

Question: What do you store in them?

I've been using OXO Pop Canisters for quite a while. I store anything and everything in them; sugar, flour, rice, nuts, pasta, coffee, tea bags and my favoriteBelly Flops. The canisters are easy to clean since they are dishwasher safe, easy to use (especially one handed), they keep items fresh and they come in several assorted sizes in both round, rectangle and square shapes. I do have to admit that at first I was turned off by the pricing so I originally bought a single canister, but then.....I was hooked. These are a great purchase if you are looking to organize more and they would also make a great holiday or housewarming gift.

Question: What type of grip does the author have?

Question: Can the wok be cleaned with a dishwasher?

We couldn't ask for more. This Wok greatly exceeded our expectations. Priced right, works exceedingly well, cleans up very easily. We place it on our stove top so it'll be under our exhaust hood. I handle the spatter screen so my wife can concentrate on the important work. Do follow the directions and let it warm-up well before placing food. Cleanup is a snap. Though they say it is dishwasher safe there is no need. It comes apart in two pieces to be easily washed in the kitchen sink - totally submersible, even the base. Every now and then even the blind hog gets an ear of corn and we sure got lucky with this purchase.

Question: what dessert does the writer use these glasses to serve?

I have gotten tremendous use out these cappuccino glasses. They are the perfect size for cappuccino, espresso or even a small glass of coffee or tea. The steal handles come off and go back on nicely and the glass is high-quality and very durable (never any chips or cracks and I use these all the time). 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. Besides hot beverages, I have found other uses for these cups. 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. I'm also very pleased with this set because it's at offered at a great value.

Question: What kind of odors does it produce?

It pops. But, overfill and it burns the popcorn. How easy is it to overfill? Easy - there is no full indicator. My other gripe is the top - if I look at it the wrong way, it falls off. This means that nearly every time it is taken out or put away, I am picking up the pieces. The top also still off-gases plastic odors when used. As for the popcorn itself, there is does a pretty good job. Most but not all kernels are popped (and that's using premium popcorn kernels). As for ease of use, other than the lid falling off, it's a breeze to use - I have my popcorn ready to go in minutes. I don't use the lid to melt butter, too slow. My secret formula: Melt the butter on the stove, add some powdered curry and then some hot sauce. Add to the popcorn. Sprinkle with salt and add Parmesan cheese.

Question: Why does the reviewer like the product?

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. when the kids want hot water they just flip it on and within a very short time the water is hot. I just refill so it is ready for the next time. 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. No more microwave either. 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.

Question: What would make this item better?

I've brewed a number of cups with this press and thus far, I have nothing but complimentary words for it. I only have a blade grinder, so my ground aren't uniformly course...I have quite a few "fine" grind powder in my brew, but the press seems to filter most of this powder from my final pour. I think for the cost of this little press, I would be hard "pressed" to ask for more.The carafe and plunger are not the most hearty of materials. 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. All in all, I am greatly pleased. I think if there is anything I would add or like more than what this press offers is a larger capacity.

Answer: larger capacity

Question: How would you describe the volume of the griner?

Over a year old now and used multiple times each day. 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.Love the design and it's very easy to keep clean (inside and out). A very well-designed product.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.

A very well-designed product.Two negatives:1)The grinder *is* <hl> loud <hl>, 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.

Two negatives:1)The grinder *is* <hl> loud <hl> , but that's hard to get away from in any burr grinder this size.


Question: When was the product purchased?

I bought one of these at Kohl's on 12/27/11. It worked just fine but stopped working by February, so I exchanged it at the store. 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. Probably no more than a half hour's use since then but when I ground up some in advance last week, I'm guessing the motor overheated and seized up. It's in the trash now. I'd recommend using this light-duty grinder for no more than a few ounces of beans at a time.

Question: What condition is the remaining part id the tomato in?

I ordered this Feb 20 and got it before the end of the month.I immediately placed an uncut tomato in it. It was probably a week before I cut the first 2 thin slices. Then another week before another cut. And another week before my third cut.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.Because we use tomatoes very sparingly, I've thrown out loads of soft, mushy, black-spotted tomato remnants.NO MORE! Good to the last slice!

Question: What is the brand of this product?

I have to agree with other buyers on this - it's an outstanding spot cleaner. Had a spot on guest bedroom floor that I've been trying to get rid of with no luck. So I tried this. It disappeared. As soon as I blotted up the moisture, I could see the dark from the spot on the blotting towel. I also used it on another new spot and it did the same thing - cleaned it up right away. I'm changing furniture --- going from leather sofas and chairs to fabric, so this will come in handy for incidents that might happen there. I would definitely recommend Folex.

Question: What country does the author reside in?

After reading all the glowing reviews for this timer I was very disappointed that when mine arrived it didn't work properly. The timer did count up and down but neither the sound nor the vibrate functions worked. In fact, the light didn't work either. I tried new batteries with no success. I guess I just got a lemon. Ordinarily, this wouldn't be a problem with Amazon. I need only return it for a replacement or refund. However, I live in Australia and had the timer sent to me by an American sibling. The cost of sending it back to the States for a refund would be greater than the value of the timer.

Question: How did the product feel when it arrived?

When we received this, it was rolled up and felt hard as a rock. It took both my husband and I together to unroll it. It's really rolled tightly. Once we got it unrolled, we had to laugh. It was much smaller than the mattress and felt like a hard piece of plastic.. We both said, there's no way this thing is going to fit the bed or be soft.. But a few hours later, it had fluffed and stretched out, fit the bed perfectly and was very cushiony. It's very comfortable, has held up perfectly and we feel it was a great investment. We have a nearly new mattress that despite being a pillow top (and quite expensive to boot), was not very comfortable to sleep on.. This topper has made it much more comfy..

Question: What is the overall quality of the product?

The overall quality of this is quite high. I thought the metal was going to be on the thin side and it's actually pretty heavy gauge. This looks great and functions well. Just about perfect!I deducted a star because this could use some sort of chalk holder and its screw holes are a bit oddly placed, located below the chalkboard. Putting the chalk in the basket will cause it to get buried and as the pieces get smaller, they can start falling out of the bottom. A little basket on the side or something would be a major improvement. Likewise screw holes near the top -- or those mounting holes that use screw tops -- would also be a great improvement. Once you have it installed, though, it seems secure.

Question: What do people on the internet complaining about the machine?

I've had my B60 for a little over 2 years and I still love it. It makes the best single cup of hot coffee I've ever tasted. I've seen several reviews here and there on the Internet of people stating that their machine stopped dripping after several months of usage. Many of these people gave up after a light cleaning and trashed their machine all together. 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 kept the water chamber filled with vinegar and kept brewing. Little by little, the brewing chamber or tube or whatever was clogged became open and clean again and now my machine brews coffee like the first day I unboxed it.I love the Keurig and all the wonderful coffee flavor options. My favorites are the Donut Shop coffee and the German Chocolate flavors.I'm giving the B60 to my Sister In Law as a house warming gift next month. She loves using ours when she visits.

Question: What parts would you avoid buying from a Toyota dealer?

First rule of thumb, if you don't have a Faberware skillit, it might not fit. Me, on the other hand, have a Faberware skillit. This lid fits perfectly! No complaints at all.I got the glass lid so I can see what is going on in my pan.So to all you nay-sayers out there, try buying a lid from the maker of your cooking vessel! Would you buy car parts for a Ford from a Toyota dealer??? Of course not! They might sorta fit, but it is never the same.Don't hold a manufacturer responsible for their product NOT fitting something they had not manufactured!

Question: How many pair of shoes will be stored in a box?

I ordered two of thee and so glad that I did. These are basically the plastic storage with zipper that blankets normally come in at the store. However, these are quite large and just perfect for what I wanted. I have a bedding set which includes a ton of decorative pillows along with two king sized decorative pillows. Since this is the bed we sleep in nightly, taking the pillows off and on has been a real hassle. There's no where to put all these pillows. Plus we have dogs and I have to put them where the dogs can't get to them. Finally, I said screw it and no longer put all the pillows on the bed every morning. This solved my problem. I was able to get all the smaller pillows (a ton of them) into one box, and the two king sized sham pillows in another box. These were large enough that I could have almost put all the pillows in one box/bag. Now I can store my pillows without worrying about them ever spilling out all over the place or worrying about keeping them clean in these two boxes, which fit perfectly one on top of the other in my walk-in closet on the floor underneath the shelving and rods. Perfectly out of the way, yet easy to grab if someone is coming that I want to impress.I'm going to order some more. There are lot of blankets and pillows hanging around in closets that could all be put in one of these and either shelved or stacked along the floor of your closet. I have a lot of purses that take up shelf room. I'm going to put them all in one of these bags. I have a lot of winter gear... hats, scarves, gloves and jackets that I'm going to gather together, take off of hangers and store in here. I usually stick with the same ones and I will leave them out. And, just store those things rarely used and put the bag at the bottom of the coat closet for more room. Since they're clear, it's easy to see what you want right away. I would not recommend these for very heavy items, or items with sharp corners. I'm also going to use one in the car for the items I put in the back end of my suv... like an extra set of clothes, a couple of pillows, a couple of blankets and emergency supplies. 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. Will look nicely arranged along the floor/wall. So, these are great for a lot of things tumbling around in your car or closet. I love these for lite storage.

Question: Is this humidifier quiet or loud?

I bought this without bothering to read the reviews first and what a mistake and waste of money that was. This humidifier is LOUD; there's no way to sleep in the same room when this thing is running. Another reviewer said they had to get a sound/sleep machine to duplicate the sound it makes. Sure, but they didn't mention that the sound/sleep machine was an idling dump truck! And it leaks! Not just a little, either and not something just a hand towel can absorb. Noisy, leaky and wholly unsatisfactory! 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. I should have because now I'm going to have to do it anyway. Also, the filters get nasty in a very short period of time and I'm not crazy about trying to find them or wasting money changing them out when all I want to do is add a little humidity to the air. After all, you're adding clear tap water not something you dredged out of the drainage ditch. 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!

Question: What can the gift do?

I received this as a gift from my husband when we were dating due to an inside joke. It isn't the most practical obviously, but it does make nice little ships and icebergs that are easy to remove. I actually bought a second one several months later.

Question: How does the reviewer deal with the difficult to clean basket?

I am a huge Chicken Wing fan. I make them at least once a week. This fryer is great. I have been using this model for years and always buy 2 when I order them. I fry wings, mozzarella sticks, fish, hushpuppies, etc... Easy to clean the fryer itself. The basket, not so much. I throw out the basket as soon as I open the box and fry food directly in the fryer without the basket. Works great. Just get yourself some tongs for getting the food out of the fryer and your set.GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!!Rich,Lincoln, NE

Question: What happened when they came back to their car?

This item operates as it should. All mechanical operations did not fail. It is simply too small, and not powerful enough to cool anything with any degree of effectiveness. I followed all directions for use. Inserted fresh batteries. Turned it on. Then left it in my car for a few hours on a 60 degree temperature day. When I came back to the car, the fan was still on. But the interior was hot. The fan ran exactly like it was suppose to, but the air was not cool. All that it did was circulate hot air. If this fan can't cool the inside of a car, then how is it suppose to work in a room?

If this fan can't cool the inside of a car, then how is it suppose to work in a room?

When I came back to the car, <hl> the fan was still on <hl> .


Question: What the item used for that I am happy with?

This little beauty does every thing I need. Like other reviewers I don't try to cook a 5 course dinner in it. I'm happy to have it thaw, reheat, warm up, and brew. Baked spuds come out great in same time a big oven would take. It's really cute and takes up very little space. Put index finger against front and thumb under door handle and door opens easily without dragging it across cabinet. I like that it's light weight. I can move it and clean under it without waiting until I have help to do it. Can't say about durability as I haven't had for long but so far so good.

Question: What has locks?

I had a single bag wooden rolling laundry cart which I absolutely adored. The only hassle was sorting whites, colors and reds each laundry day. This sorter is fantastic! It is constructed of metal frame and the 3 bags are very good quality fabric. The wire rack on the bottom is great for keeping the bags from not drooping with the weight of clothing in them. This is a great product and exactly what I was looking for. I couldn't be happier. PS.. the front wheels have locks on them so you can lock the cart in place and keep it from rolling away when using it. I highly recommend this sorter.

Question: What is one drawback to the grinder?

After two (2!) William Bound pepper mills purchased at the same time both broke in exactly the same place after only two years of use, we began looking for new mills. Who knew finding a decent mill would be so difficult? The plastic housing is off-putting, but other than that, we are happy with this mill. We prefer a truly coarse grind, and Unicorn Magnum delivers. Easy to load, produces lots of ground pepper quickly, fits will into the hand - although a little too slick if one's hands aren't perfectly dry. Easy to adjust to a finer grind, too. A similar model with an attractive natural wood-housed grinder would be a 5 star product.

Question: How big is the rice cooker?

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. Just like the water boiler, this rice cooker has a somewhat technical appearance at first glance. I find it appealing.It comes with a little plastic measuring cup, a super cool studded rice paddle and a clip tp secure the paddle to the side of the cooker. It's not hard to use at all. Its important to use only the measuring cup that came with it. The rice cooker takes literally ALL of the hassle out of making perfect restaurant quality rice, I make basmati rice a lot, and have made sushi rice for sashimi. Mmmm. Wow. I couldn't believe I made it. The reason I use it every day is for steel cut oats. I never even heard of them before I read the reviews here. What a revelation. I set the cooker on porridge and set the timer before I go to bed. If you've never tried them, you should cook up a zoji cup of steel cut oats and 2.5 to 3 cups of water. You just KNOW that this stuff is good for you. LOL. I want to point out that this rice cooker has a surprisingly small foot print. It is about the size of a toaster. I was worried that it would be the size of a football helmet, but it most certainly is not.

Answer: about the size of a toaster

Question: What was set for 8 hours and left 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. I tried this first on the weekends, and was not disappointed. Mind you, I was particularly watching temperatures of this cooker more so than most because it was not situated in its natural surround. It did not disappoint.The crock itself is hefty. The outside of the unit does get hot to the touch, but even at it's highest setting - not any more than what you would expect if what you have inside is to be cooked. If you want an "Easy-Bake-Oven" type of appliance - then do buy one of those.As for capacity - unless you consistently cook for a crowd this will serve you just fine.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.Is it the best one out there? Dunno...that is for your to decide and based on your needs.I'm satisfied with it - yes.Happy shopping!

Question: What were some of the positive characteristics sited about the grinder?

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 do they like?

While this is a good product and our family likes it there is one serious negative for this coffee maker and that is the water reservoir! It is WAY too small and they could have made it hold more water. While they set it up for the specific sizes of cups of coffee it supports someone should have realized it would be nice to have a larger water reservoir so that you could make one cup after another (like when you have multiple family members wanting coffee at the same time or guests) instead of the TINY reservoir they provided. However with that being said this produces an excellent cup of HOT coffee (the hot part is important for us since we don't care for lukewarm coffee). The ability to switch between regular coffee and kcups is just awesome!

Question: Is the scale heavy?

This is a very slim scale with a long battery life that works pretty well! It's light, and it works great on our tile and thin rug surfaces.The only strange thing is that it can never seem to settle on a weight. I understand that as you move your weight fluctuates by a few 10ths of a pound. But it doesn't seem to ever decide "ok, this is your weight" and stop. It just keeps doing it until the delay hits and turns itself off to save battery.

Question: What is not included in their green smoothie?

This is the perfect processor if you're like me and only occasionally need to bring it out. It may not be able to turn your kale into perfectly smooth kale cream, but it is quick and efficient for soups and other mixes you may sometimes need to process. I've even been known to take it out to make my (no ice) green smoothie, because it works better than my blender. Great for its price point, highly recommended.

Question: What do they do if they are going to reuse the toaster?

I bought this on a black-friday sale for $15 with free shipping. It was so cheap, I had doubts. Over a month or two by now, and it works just fine.It's a toaster. Personally, I don't think there is a difference in taste of toast coming from this toaster or a $100+ fancy toaster oven.HOWEVER: You do get what you pay for.Without having a lot of experiences with toaster ovens, it does seem to be less functional than the description and the controls state/imply.I only use it with the top knob on "TOAST" and the bottom dial as a timer.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.It does get HOT. But all/most Toaster Ovens probably do these days.Never heard of this brand, but it's a good/durable/functional decent low end budget toaster oven ... Which you should keep your eye on (or use a tracking program) to get a REALLY REALLY GOOD PRICE!OH YEAH ... 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) ... but then you have to add more time once it dings. 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. It works.

Question: What are they using it for?

It was oddly difficult to find one of these in a physical store - I looked at Walmart and at Bed Bath and Beyond but I couldn't find a big one. We use this one to dry cloth diapers inside or to dry delicates. There's a lot of space and it folds easily if you want to tuck it away. It's also pretty lightweight considering it's size.

Question: how long has the customer owned this model?

Every kitchen should have a digital thermometer and every cook should use one. Not only is it a must for determining if poultry and meat is done, it is handy for telling if those leftovers in the microwave are hot. It is also a must-have if you make your own yogurt. Too many other uses to list here.Cooks Illustrated got it right! If you don't have the money for aThermapenthen this is the one to get. I've had this model for at least 5 years after trying several other digital models. My biggest gripes about those were slow response time and narrow temp range.The CDN DTQ450 has a wide temperature range, responds quickly, has a "temp hold" feature (lacking on the Thermapen), and has large easy to read numbers. The sleeve can be used as a handle...handy when taking the temperature of boiling liquid. It also shuts itself off after a couple of minutes to save the battery. I saw a complaints about the small buttons, but I have big "ham hands" and don't have a problem with the size if the buttons.No, you can't put it in a turkey or roast and put it in the oven, but they makeProbe Thermometersfor that. And no, you can't put it in the dishwasher, but why would you want to? It just wipes clean.This will be the best 18 bucks you can spend on the kitchen. I highly recommend this thermometer.
