Question: Which improvement would this reviewer make to the product?

I use these to heat two rooms in my basement. One is a 300 square foot windowless room and the other is about a 1000 square feet of open space. I use these in conjunction with my hydronic heating, which, when it is really cold outside, struggles to heat the basement rooms to acceptable levels. One of these in each room gets both of them nice and toasty. They are a little loud, and the vent can be hot to the touch, but I'm very happy with my purchase. They even automatically shut off when tipped over. Just wish they were a bit more programmable so I could schedule when it is on, not just how long it will be on.

Answer: more programmable

Question: What does the suction cup act like, according to the requester?

For a <$50 food processor this product is great! The suction cup feet are a bit odd but really thoughtful addition - almost acts like a third hand to keep the machine from walking on the counter while running. The shredding/slicing disk is a nice addition and helps make the food processor a little more handy! Has handled veggies, chicken, and making pesto with ease and dishwasher safe for easier cleanup.

Question: What was considered the perfect size for their home?

This is the best vacuum EVER. It is the perfect size for a duplex townhouse. I had both a regular upright vacuum and a tiny little stick vac, this does the job of both and is very light to carry up and down the stairs. I love that it has a very accessible button to switch from hard floor to carpeting and the dust canister is extremely easy to empty. I charged the battery as soon as I received it, and I have used it almost every night for 2 weeks and just had to re-charge the battery yesterday.I am very happy with this purchase!!!

Question: How large is this person's room?

I hooked this thing up myself and I'm not terribly handy. I had a little trouble hooking the plastic pieces onto the hose but finally figured out they need to go counterclockwise. Doh!It works like a champ--gets my room cool in 20 minutes (about 300 sq ft). It's pretty heavy, which will be prohibitive to my moving it up and downstairs, but it's doable, if somewhat awkward.I love the automatic room temperature--the fan stays on and the air conditioner turns on only when needed. It has other automated settings I have yet to try but that look helpful.I love the remote! I can adjust it while still lying in bed. Sweet!

Question: What is the recommendation to brew coffee if you're inexperienced with these brands of coffee pressers?

Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensiveBodum Chambordcoffee press over this far more affordable plastic model. The plastic frame even seems to protect theglass beakerfrom damage, serving as a bit of a bumper. (Also note that the complete Brazil press is often sold cheaper than the replacement beaker by itself!) The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz., a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter.Capacity: In practice you end up getting a bit less than the stated amount of coffee; though they're sometimes called "8-cup" models in their own weird nomenclature, these are actually good for about 30 oz. of actual coffee, which fills about 3 small coffee mugs, or 2.5ish large mugs.The coffee all of these models produce is excellent, like any French press — thick and full of the extracted oils from the coarsely ground coffee, far more flavorful than drip-brewed and also stronger and more caffeinated. It pays to start with fresher beans and a lighter roast than you might be used to, and experiment to determine how strong you like it.

Question: How long is the product's warranty?

I assume this Gen 4 unit will save energy better than than Gen 3(?) I have which is exactly the same otherwise. My 1500 watt Costco bought $199. unit (which I assumed would adjust wattage as I adjusted the heat level)just didn't. It runs at an average 1350 watts no matter what (using kill-a watt meter). So I guess they improved the unit to run at 1000 watts. A remote that works out of the box would also be helpful! Heat varies according to space requirements.Don't expect fast hot heating under 52 degrees. Best feature is its safety and non off gassing and non oxygen depleting features. Oh, a five year warranty.

Question: what did they make aside from stir fry?

The T-Fal ActiFry performed exactly as advertised, to my surprise. It acts as a lower temperature oven, as well as a fryer. I made a delicious stir fry and also french fries. The fries were far tastier than a baking sheet, and far easier and less greasy than a fryer. The stir fry was much less effort than tending to a wok and equally delicious.Pros: Easy delicious meals with less oil. Dishwasher safe.Cons: The "skillet" is very thin. The device is very large, and will take up a considerable amount of storage/counter space.Overall, the ActiFry is terrific. If you are a purist, this device is not the same as a fryer or a wok, and it may not work for you. However, if the ActiFry sounds like something you would like, you probably won't regret the purchase. I am glad I have it.

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

Was trying to justify spending a lot of money for a set of All Clad cookware. I am a Cooks Illustrated follower. All Clad is consistently rated tops. I still could not bring myself to spend that kind of money. I am a intermediate level cook. I am so glad I read their reviews on the Calphalon set. I purchased the 13 piece set and was wowed! The set is beautiful and does cook like a dream. I am so glad read the reviews. When cooking with these pots and pans, it is crucial to preheat them on medium heat. I use a light coating of oil, not Pam. I have cooked eggs, over easy, and no problems with sticking. Cleaning them is a breeze as well. I use a little Bar Keepers Friend and they shine right up. The cookware seems to heat evenly thanks to the tri ply construction. I am totally thrilled with my purchase and am so happy to have saved well over $1200 by going with the Calphalon.

Question: How could this item be improved?

This product works very well for my white cast iron sink. It fits perfectly; supports my dishes; and I like that it does not rust and does not encourage mold growth by lying flat against the sink.This product would be even better if the rack prongs were spaced more closely together to prevent silverware, sippy cup filters, and other small items from falling through. Also, I wish that the black rubber stoppers along the bottom were also present on the four corners of the rack. The rack fits perfectly in my sink and prevents scratches on the bottom of the sink, but the four "corners" of my sink where the rack (almost) touches (and inevitably does touch/bang against my sink when I'm washing dishes)are scratched from this item.

Question: Whom would this be a great gift for?

My husband got this for me as a gift and i just used it for the first time today. It was soooo simple to use. the step by step instructions make it foolproof. The first roll i made was a little loose because i didn't squeeze it tight enough but by the second roll it looked just like the rolls I get at a restaurant. It made it so simple to do! Another tip is when you are cutting the roll by using the cutting aid, cut the middle first, This seemed to help keep the roll tight. Ok i hope i helped someone out there, this would be a great gift for any sushi lover.

Question: where did the writer purchase their previous cutting board?

I ordered the second bamboo cutting board after having used a locally purchased one for a while. I find this cutting board just as good as the first one I purchased locally and it has the additional feature of non-slip rubber feet on one side. The addition of the non-slip feet is a plus. You do have to oil bamboo cutting boards every so often to keep them from drying out (Bamboo Oil, or butcher block oil is fine). They seem to have less problems with food stains sticking to their surface that some other cutting board materials and seem to be easier to clean. I would recommend this product. The product was delivered promptly and in good condition.

Question: What is described as problematic for the author?

I got this for my daughter, who is an avid tea drinker. She has tried diffusers, strainers and many other loose tea devices. All of the other products leave some level of tea leaves in the cup. With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew, there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! Not one!The other side - cleaning. Cleaning any loose leaf/grind product can be problematic, this one is no more difficult. It is easier to clean if you let the leaves/grinds dry out before removal. If you want another cup before the residue dries, a tap or two against the trash can combined with a wipe of a paper towel, and a swish of water to rinse takes care of any leftover tea remains.Bottom line - very quick, very easy to use. No tea leaves floating around! This is a winner!

Question: what can they collect in it?

This is a perfect gift for someone who drinks wine. As the pictures show, you can give it to someone with a bottle of wine in it, then they can use it to collect their corks in.I use Amazon for most of my purchases and update my reviews if anything changes with the products. I do this so other Amazon users can get a real feel for the life of the product. You can look at my review which will be close to my purchase date and tell how the product is doing as time passes. I am not associated with any company and all opinions are my very own.

Question: What doesn't this tool do properly?

Doesn't chop isn't completely correct. It does make one chop but after that the food you chopping is stuck in the blades.And this happens with any moist fruits or foods you attempt to chop, and it's not easy to get the stuff back out. I knowwhen this is demonstrated on TV the chopper is easy to open and clean but my the one I have is very difficult to openwithout fear of breaking the device.I'm going out tomorrow and look for one that works. I think the culprit in this case is the blade design; it traps food andis difficult to clear. I chop apples to feed to my parrots and this thing is not up to the task.All and all this device is very disappointing. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.This is just another one of those products that when it's demonstrated by a slick host who has multiple takes to make itlook can appear to be a good product. I'm disappointed in myself for falling for the hype.

Question: What kind of burn do you risk?

Not five star because it is difficult to steam the wrinkles out of some items as they hang loosely. For instance, it's hard to do long-sleeve blouses without holding out the sleeve, risking a steam burn. Also, the cord is short, and it is not easy to get things over the hanger part of the steamer without tangling the chord. It can be stored in a closet as two sections of the pole can be lowered to about two feet. Amazon's is priced about $20 less than in most stores; we bought our first Rowenta, same model and make, at a store in NYC for $100. Sometimes, a steamer beats ironing as it refreshes clothes you need to dry clean, however, don't bet on men's dress shirts or women's cotton shirts looking as well as when you iron them.

Answer: steam burn

Not five star because it is difficult to steam the wrinkles out of some items as they hang loosely. <hl> For instance, it's hard to do long-sleeve blouses without holding out the sleeve, risking a steam burn . <hl> Also, the cord is short, and it is not easy to get things over the hanger part of the steamer without tangling the chord. It can be stored in a closet as two sections of the pole can be lowered to about two feet. Amazon's is priced about $20 less than in most stores; we bought our first Rowenta, same model and make, at a store in NYC for $100.

Question: What am I used to buying besides 12 or 24 packs of drinks?

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: What parts of the toaster does the writer love the most?

I'm pleased with this toaster. The ejector slide is big and easy to use, as is the shade knob. The buttons could be bigger, and it's hard to read their labels. So memorize that the bottom button is cancel and the top button is bagel.The thing I like most about this toaster is the commendable uniformity of its toasting. Stick a sliced frozen bagel in it and it comes out a beautiful uniform brown.That's about it. A lack of bells & whistles, and focusing on toasting make this an easy recommend for any kitchen.

Question: How long ago did the reviewer purchase this coffee maker?

I purchased a BXB 10c from Amazon about 3 1/2 years ago. The coffee maker just quit on morning trying to brew coffee. While this coffee maker looks great and has the reputation that Bunn has had for over some 50 years of making coffee makers probably the top name in coffee makers, this one is not in that class.I called Bunn Service and told them about the problem, heat plate wouldn't work, On/Off light on the hot plate quit working and the next day the heating element for heating the self contained reservoir holding onboard water also quit working. Their answer was, "Your warranty is 3 days past warranty." I asked to you ever fix these anymore and their reply was "NO." I asked why not, and her reply was, "Bunn has found them to be too troublesome to fix and it's just cheaper to warranty them and then when off warranty tell the customer to throw them away!" Whaaaat? Throw them away. Well I attempted to fix it myself thinking any product of this type would have an inline fuse. Guess what? ...No inline fuse. This thing is TOTAL JUNK. OVER PRICED JUNK. Buyer beware.

Question: What type of heater did the reviewer purchase from WalMart?

I have only had this for a few weeks so I can't vouch for its long-term durability. But this heater is designed very nicely. It looks and feels of good quality materials. Other positives:* soft quiet sound very easy to sleep with* elegant and practical handle* oscillates to spread the heat around a little (cute little R2D2)* small footprint but stableI use the heater in a 10 x 10 room. I haven't set the thermostat dial above 3 out of 10, even when it's been 10 F. outside. I usually keep it in low power mode. But I'm not very demanding that way so if you need a really strong fan blowing high heat or if you prefer the direct warm feeling of glowing radiant heat you might not be satisfied.Shortly before getting this "Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Heater" I had tried and returned two unsatisfactory heaters. One was a poor quality $20 heater ("DeLonghi DFH132"). The other, which I bought at WalMart for around $34, was one of those old radiant heaters (a couple of feet long with wires strung back and forth) which was unacceptably loud.

Question: How many cupcakes did the reviewer make?

I used the recipe (in the encluded book) for vanilla cupcakes but used lemon extract instead of vanilla. Makes enough batter for 3 batches of 7. Just perfect. I tried the final batch without paper cups and they work fine if you like a little more of a crispy outside. The tops didn't brown but they were totally cooked. No clean up to speak of. Didn't have to heat up an oven. Very nifty little gadget. BTW I bought one of the used/like new ones listed for a few $$ savings. Looks new to me but the box had been opened is all.

Question: What was different about the bowls from the store?

If you are looking to make the healthy switch from plastic storage containers to glass, then I would recommend this set. I had bought a few rubbermaid glass bowls at the store to try them out. The ones I bought at the store have a removable gasket. I thought this set from Amazon did too, but they don't. It's all one piece, and easier to clean than the ones with the gasket. I actually think the one piece might have a tighter seal. I love the way these things stack in the refrigerator. I hand wash my lids so I can't' tell you how they do in the dishwasher. I've tried other glass storage container sets, and to me Rubbermaid makes the tightest seal.

Question: What does this customers little ice balls have?

Pretty easy to use. Just need to put the two pieces together and fill with water from the little holes in the top. Just make sure not to overfill! All of my little ice balls have nubs on them that are hard to get off from the water fill up hole. I also have one unfortunate looking squished ice ball because something was pushing on it in the freezer, but other than that, they look great! I can't wait trying these with something other than just water! Maybe some lemon, or juice...mint leaves perhaps? :)

Question: What type of cooking method does this person use often?

The other day I was invited to my mother’s house for dinner. She was making me some potatoes in the over and had one of these liners on the baking sheet. I never thought about using one.I bake a lot and will admit I hate it when things get baked on the baking sheet and it takes forever to soak and clean. The whole house then starts to smell. I can’t think of anything I bake that is over 450 degrees; these are safe up to 480.I have been using them with tater tots or things that leave a lot of grease left over on the pan. The liner is still greasy but the clean up is a breeze! I just place the tater tots on the liner, bake, and then remove all to cool down. Once cooled down I place the baking sheet back in the cupboard and only have to clean the liner, it saves a lot of time! I like that you can even wash it in the dishwasher. That comes in handy too.These are one of those things that you did not know you needed until you have them. I had no idea my mother has been using them for years. They also come in handy to make dough and place on the counter top. You also do not have to place the liner in a sheet; you can place it directly in the oven.I was worried that the tater tots would not get crispy but they did. Same cooking time and they were crunchy. I am very impressed and love that there is two of them in case you need to use both at the same time.Sample item provided.

Question: What is the warranty?

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: Was this product made well?

I bought this one and the matching decaf canister. Out of the two canisters, the decaf one was the worst. Part of the decaf stickers had come off when manufactured, and someone tried to cover it up with black paint. Also, a nice size spot of black paint on the handle. Soooo cheaply made and not worth it. I was very disappointed and I am returning both canisters. The black one had some imperfections too, scoop is cheaply made. Maybe cute for decoration if you put them up high where no one can see them up close, but I wouldn't recommend for daily use.

Question: What is the name of the company that produced the digital oven thermometer?

I like everything about this digital oven thermometer except the plastic coated cord on the probe. After 1st use my probe stopped working (maybe it was defective). Unfortunately, the probe is the one thing Polder doesn't warranty. I liked the features of this unit so much that I ordered 2 new probes from another company since Amazon doesn't carry the probe for this unit (at least I couldn't find it on their site). To my surprise, the new probes had stainless steel shielding all the way from where it plugs into the unit to the probe itself. Now this is how it should have been made to begin with. The replacement probes were genuine Polder products. Even with the added expense of the better probes I still plan on keeping this unit for a very long time.

Question: What did the author say about the original attachments?

So... I'm fairly new in the kitchen. I recently bought a nice (red) KA stand mixer which came with a dough hook, paddle and whip. While the included attachments worked just fine I splurged a little and got the upgrade whip along with the coated paddle and hook. Really, I had no complaints about the original whip (actually never used it) but I can say this one works well enough and maybe the extra wires are a benefit I don't have the experience to appreciate.The build quality is solid as expected. I did not have to adjust my bowl height to accommodate the new whip. It works as expected and cleans up easily. It is what you'd expect from KitchenAid I think.

Answer: worked just fine

I recently bought a nice (red) KA stand mixer which came with a dough hook, paddle and whip. <hl> While the included attachments worked just fine I splurged a little and got the upgrade whip along with the coated paddle and hook. <hl> Really, I had no complaints about the original whip (actually never used it) but I can say this one works well enough and maybe the extra wires are a benefit I don't have the experience to appreciate. The build quality is solid as expected. I did not have to adjust my bowl height to accommodate the new whip. It works as expected and cleans up easily. It is what you'd expect from KitchenAid I think.

Question: What could they use from the printed manual?

Wanted so much to use this for basic uses brown rice and beans. Tried first using for dinner guests, couldn't use the recipes that were in the printed manual, found one online that was described in video. The water that collected during cooking did not drip into the reservoir, but stayed in the rim of the pan. I had to watch the clock for cooking time since the digital readout did not work. Had to email Fagor for advice on how long to cook beans. The rep asked what kind of beans, and when I responded that I cook three types of beans, it took a week for her to give an answer. I returned the item since it is unreliable and the customer service was not the best.

Question: What have they been using in the past?

For years, I've been lugging bottles of water (mostly distilled) so that I can avoid weird water tastes, cloudy water and mystery pollution floating in it. Well, I guess I'm about to miss out on all those great work-outs I've been doing. There'll be no more heavy lifting for me or squandering tons of money (it really adds up!) on bottled water. I can also congratulate myself on sparing the environment all those plastic jugs in the trash.PUR CR-600 2 Stage Oval Water Pitcher is excellent, efficient and cost-effective. The pitcher, itself, is quite sturdy. I've been using this pitcher for weeks now, and I'm certain that it will last a good long time. I highly recommend it and only wish I had purchased one years ago!

Question: How many of the product have they bought in the past 2 years?

We have bought three of these in the past 2 years. They wash and dry very easily but shrink up a little, so this time I ordered the 30 x 40". My mother-in-law sits on them in her favorite chair so we fold them over a little. This one may even end up being cut in half. I washed it and it's still pretty large, so we'll see if we just fold it or cut it. (you can cut them and they don't fray)This is so nice for a person who sits for long periods. It also keeps her chair clean, so it's great to have a couple of these to wash and keep changing them out.This is thick and cozy and did not shed much at all in the washer and dryer, so it's a two thumbs up from us.(little update: we did end up cutting this in half and it's still plenty big for her chair, so she now has two more to use instead of one)

Question: What did some reviewers not like about the wooden slats?

I was looking for something to put my soap in without it going slimy. It took a long time, but at last I found the answer to my problem. I ordered two, and was very surprised to receive them so soon, they only took 4 days. I couldn't wait to see what they looked like. I'd read that some reviewers weren't happy with theirs as the wooden slats were poorly positioned.The first one I opened was perfect, quite heavy, also nice and large, would fit any soap.The second soap dish wasn't perfect, two of the wooden slats at the end, were positioned closer together than the rest, but that's OK, I can live with that. Like many products in the USA, they are made in China, they look just like in the picture.I'm a little concerned about how long the wooden parts will last, they are not varnished, but for now, I'm happy I have a place for my soap, and don't have to worry about getting my sinks messy.***UPDATE***I've only had them a few months and now I have another soap problem, some of the slats have come unglued. I wish the inserts were plastic, and that would be the end of the problem.

Question: What did the person agree to complete in exchange for the product?

I'm a tea drinker, and I've been using this French press on a near-daily basis since I got it. (I'll save it for coffee for when I have visitors.) The press itself is very nice-looking. The carafe has a Pyrex feel, and it's surrounded in places by plastic to protect your hands from heat. With the exception of the flimsy plastic lid, the plunger is made of stainless parts, and it glides easily down the carafe. My tea tastes fantastic when brewed in this French press.The only thing I don't care for is the awkward feel of the handle. I assume it's curved like that to protect the user's fingers from the glass, but the result is that the carafe becomes top heavy. Maybe if the handle was a bit lower, it would not have that problem. A minor issue, to be sure, because otherwise I love this French press.Note: I received a sample of the product in exchange for an honest review.

Question: What is the reviewer's biggest issue with the toaster?

I've has this toaster for about 5 months now. It is good for wide slices like rye bread, and it holds 4 sandwich slices nicely. It is holding up well to daily use and makes evenly toasted, predictably browned toast. My only grouse is that the cord is ridiculously (as in open to ridicule) short. The cord is made so short in their effort to make it "safe" that it presents it's own hazard. The toaster cannot be plugged in to the wall and still be out from beneath the upper cabinets in my kitchen. But that seems to be industry standard now, and it's a good toaster otherwise...the cool touch sides really are, which surprised me. You can put your hand on the side while it is in use and not get burned (of course do NOT put your hand on the TOP when it is in use).

Question: What kind of handles do the knives have?

I bought three Victorinox knives based on a recommendation from "Cooks Illustrated" magazine. I am so pleased! I got the 3" and 4" utility knives plus the chefs knife. All three are the best of their kind I have ever used, and I have always considered myself a bit of a knife snob. The polypropylene handles are very comfortable and non-slip, and the blades are just right. They are really sharp and they stay sharp. The chefs knife is perfectly balanced and such a pleasure to use. And the best part of all, they are so affordable. You deserve these knives!

Question: What happened after the buzzing?

It's too late to send this back!! (fume!!) This chopper arrived exactly as amazon promised,but I'd bought it earlier than I needed, as I'd bought it to puree and chop homemade baby food for my grandson,he is just at the right age now,so I decided to give this chopper it's first practice run yesterday to chop a few walnut halves to go into the scones I was making....first buzz was fine......there was NO second, third or any other buzz.....THE WHOLE CHOPPER IS KAPUT,DEAD, DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!!!

Question: what was broken off the base?

I was worried when it arrived. I had to leave and couldn't inspect it immediately. There was a fairly large hole in the side of the thin cardboard box, but at first look it didn't seem to be an issue. Everything was okay, except for the heating/warming bulb which was broken off in the base. I haven't been able to find a replacement for it yet.The machine itself was simple to assemble, extra switches were included. It looks very nice, like some of the more expensive commercially available poppers.As far as operation, I wish the pot itself was deeper, as several un-popped kernels get knocked out as the popping starts. It's also a tight fit to load the pot, if you're not careful you'll dump everything. Besides that, it heats up and gets popping very fast, with a lot of steam and fresh popcorn-y goodness filling the area.I cannot wait until this winter to curl up on a cold night with hot popcorn and a good movie. This seems to be money well spent, if any issues arise, I'll "pop" back in later with an update.

Question: What can the husband sear on this?

I really wanted this to work so I could make nice, golden crepes. Unfortunately, I have tried it several times, and it just doesn't work. The crepes stick, they peel off in strips, they have to be thrown out. I seasoned it according to the instructions that came with the pan. Then I seasoned it according to the other insturctions that came with the pan (yes, it came with two different sets of instructions). Then I looked up pan seasoning online and tried yet another method. Still no luck. Maybe my husband can sear a steak on this or something, but it's certainly not useful for crepes.

Question: How much is the product at Bed, Bath & Beyond?

I saw this same brand and same overall design type at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for $39.99, but I got this for approximatly $20 on Amazon. It's the same brand, but the baskets have a different type of design on them compared to BB&B. I gave this product four stars because the basket design (and maybe this is why BB&B has the different design) allows for smaller items to slip through. I really like this item though. It holds items and stays in place. I also have a separate little piece from a previous shower basket that keeps it from slipping down the shower pipe (if it were to try to slip), but so far I don't think that it's slipped at all. It's sturdy and can hold a decent amount of weight in it. It's still new - so I hope that it stays rust free - it's supposed to though and I'll update this if it doesn't. Good product!

Question: Some other blenders are as cheap as how much?

I tried the Nutribullet 600 and 900 watt models, and although they are powerful and make great smoothies, they are 5 to 8 times more expensive than this little guy, which works just fine. It makes very little noise, so that you could use it early in the morning and not worry about waking others. It is all self contained, so you just take the drink container with you and off you go. Only one item to clean, it couldn't be easier. It also comes with a 1 year warranty. Heck, for 15 bucks, how can you go wrong. Try it! I use ground flax seeds, yogurt, protein powder, frozen fruit (although partially frozen is better and same goes for the more powerful Nutribullet), crushed ice, spinach, and kale, any variation of those. It pulverizes it perfectly. Don't waste 100.00 or more on these Nutribullets or more expensive blenders just for single serve use. This is perfect. You will love it!!

It makes very little noise, so that you could use it early in the morning and not worry about waking others. It is all self contained, so you just take the drink container with you and off you go. Only one item to clean, it couldn't be easier. It also comes with a 1 year warranty. Heck, for <hl> 15 bucks <hl>, how can you go wrong. Try it! I use ground flax seeds, yogurt, protein powder, frozen fruit (although partially frozen is better and same goes for the more powerful Nutribullet), crushed ice, spinach, and kale, any variation of those. It pulverizes it perfectly. Don't waste 100.00 or more on these Nutribullets or more expensive blenders just for single serve use. This is perfect. You will love it!!
