Question: How big of a knife holder was the reviewer looking for?

I needed a 10" knife holder to fit on the side of an upper cabinet in the kitchen, and this one was the only 10" I found on Amazon, so I gave it a try. It is as others have described--the magnetic strips don't lay flat, and in fact are skewed in three dimensions! It was a bit disheartening to see, considering its high price in relation to longer, nicer-looking holders out there. But it's a utilitarian object to me--so although the magnets don't contact the blades perfectly, they do well enough to hold my large Henckels chef's knives with no problem. My slicer and boning knives don't seem to hold as well, but the steel is different and there's just less metal to contact the magnets; they don't feel like they're going to fall off when tested. All in all, the holder suits my needs okay and I'd probably buy it again--I just wish it was made to better tolerances.

Question: What colors would the author like to see in the future?

I love that these reusable straws are made of silicone (vs. metal) It's perfect for me since I like to bite down on my straws while drinking.The diameter of these straws do run larger than traditional "fast food" straws, but not quite as large as "boba" straws. Otherwise, the size works great for softdrinks (just bite down to a convenient diameter), and smoothies.And it is convenient that they come apart for easy cleaning. Just wish a cleaning brush were still included with the price.Also wish these could be available in more neutral/toned down colors. Adults drink out of straws too.

Answer: neutral/toned down colors.

Question: What kind of tool did the reviewer use to press clothing and steam block sweaters?

I have worked at a dry cleaners and have used the professional size steam press to press clothing and to steam block sweaters. The surface where the clothes lay on never gets too hot, unless the lower steamer is applied, which this produce does not have. I was surprised at the reviewer who expected the steamer to get too hot to handle?This smaller version of the dry-cleaners steam press works well. It saves time in pressing, but you need to know the techinques to position the shirts and pants so that you'll get nice creases. Steam comes from the upper lid of the presser. Steam does not come out from the pressing pad.In order to block sweaters, position the sweater so that it is flat and then lower the pressor lid to 'almost' touching the sweater and let the sweater steam a few seconds. You may want to spray a mist of water onto the sweater before steaming. Next, move sweater around and repeat until entire sweater has been steam blocked.

Question: What could the owner have done to avoid most of the issues with the can opener?

I got this can opener hoping to save money and space over an electric. For the first year or two this one worked perfectly, and I didn't at all miss having an electric opener. It did the job well and was comfortable on my hands. But I started having trouble after a couple of years, and at the 3 1/2 year mark, it needs to be replaced. It's getting a little rusty and hard to use; now I can open a can with some effort but have a lot of trouble prying it open again to take it off the can. I risk spilling the contents of the can. Also, the handles are coming a bit loose so that water seeps down into them, gets gross, and occasionally squishes out when I try to push them back in place.Granted, these issues may have been avoided if I didn't wash the can opener, or washed it much less often. But it seems to me a can opener needs to be washed when the juice from the can gets on the blade. (On the other hand, you can't throw an electric one in the dishwasher at all, which presents another issue.) So take your chances. If you're willing to handwash and meticulously dry, go without washing much, or know you just need an opener occasionally or for a couple years, this may be great for you.

Question: how much cheerios cereal can fit in the 5 inch bowl?

I love Duralex dishes and bowls for their sturdiness and clean good looks, so that's where I went looking when I wanted to get a set of extra bowls for cereal, desserts, snacks, and so on.These bowls are very large for cereal. Three cups of Cheerios fill the bowls to the bottom of the wide top rim. That's a whole lot of cereal. They're crazy big for ice cream. I think that the 5-" bowls would be a more appropriate size for cereal and ice cream. But the 6-" size is good for individual servings of popcorn and some snacks.A slight drawback for the storage-challenged is that the broad top rims make the bowls stack high. Also, the style of the bowls makes them look more like prep bowls than serving bowls. That may matter to you if you're thinking of using them for guests. For a bowl that's smaller than this 6-" Duralex bowl, stacks more compactly and looks more like a serving bowl than prep, try this Bormioli bowl:Bormioli Rocco Mr. Chef Salad Bowl, 16.875-Ounce.

Question: What is the issue with this product?

This is a substantial piece of brass! I realize it's WAY over priced. Everyone is looking to make a buck off the Sodastream bandwagon, it seems. But once you look past the price gouging, it IS worth it. I'm finding that in our area, the price of CO2 seems to be higher than other reviewers. It cost $6 to fill a 24oz tank, but it's still way better than $15/14.5oz without the sodamod. Just bite the bullet and get it.

Question: In what inaccurate way is this machine described in publicity?

Bought two of these to use in my home. All of us have allergies to our pets and to pollen. My plan was to put these in the bedrooms so that we would have better quality sleep. Right out of the box we knew this wouldn't work - they are too loud. The first one we opened make a noticeable clicking sound that could be noticeably heard throughout the room. I figured it was a defective unit and opened the other one. It was even louder - the clicks could be heard in the next room over! Since these units were advertised as "whisper quiet" this wasn't acceptable. Both have been sent back. I did go to their site to download their manual and, according to their manual, a faint clicking sound is normal and a sign it is working. However there was no way we could have slept with even the quieter one in the room. They are simply too loud.

Question: What is being reviewed?

I bought these pans thinking that this style/size would be a universal size for all types of tins. I already own two of the Wilton Jumbo pans and assumed these would be the same. These cups are wider than wilton, resulting in a shorter, fatter muffin than if I put the same amount of batter into the Wilton pan. Also, the dark coating has had a tendency to burn the edges of my products before they are through cooking in the middle. These may say non-stick, but I always spray as I do not use liners when baking jumbo muffins for our local cafe.If you are looking for a taller muffin pan, I would recommend using Wilton's:Wilton 6-Cup Jumbo Muffin Pan

Question: How long have they been using them?

I grabbed these mostly because I had the similar circulon pots and pans for couple years and was very pleased with how well the heat distributed but mostly to be honest with easy to clean, non stickiness of these. I like these although have to note and I have no idea if it is normal or not, pots from my previous set are still good, pans however I am ready to throw out - so sticky they became and I am struggling to even do scrambled eggs, let alone frying some cutlets and anything with more cooking time. They served me well for couple years though and I have no idea if two years was all they were supposed to be good from the beginning.

Question: What part of the machine is delicate?

This makes firm, lasting foam that is great for latte, cappuccino and hot chocolate. It works quickly and easily. I understand what others have written about the delicacy of the "whipping attachment," but I don't see it as a problem. I rinse it with warm water directly after use and wipe it out. One does need to make certain that the milk "film" that sticks a bit to the bottom of the cup is removed.

Question: How many items are in this person's knife block set?

I own a Wusthof 7-Piece knife block set and I've tried other sharpeners, which did a fair job, but decided to spend the money for a Wusthof sharpener because I thought that it was made for sharpening Wusthof knives.I was wrong. This sharpener actually removed the sharp edge off of two knives that had been sharpened with $3.00 Harbor Freight sharpener that looks like this one, but only has a single ceramic sharpener . The V-shaped cutting heads on both the carbide blades and the ceramic side of the Wusthof sharpener that I received from Amazon are set at the wrong angle for the Wusthof knives.I first tried an old, unused knife to test the product and it turned out "fair", but then I sharpened that same old knife in my cheapo Harbor Freight model and achieved a better, cleaner and sharper edge. But, not willing to leave well enough alone, I just had to try my new Wusthof sharpener on one of my Wusthof knives.This Wusthof sharpener made it duller, just the same as it did with the old knife.Thinking that I could salvage part of my investment, I then tried to sharpen two pairs of scissors. They turned out to be a bit better than doing nothing, but scissors are not the reason I bought this knife sharpening tool.

Question: Why did they buy ice cube trays?

I bought these ice cube trays for making baby food. It's excellent for that purpose. Each cube is 1 oz, so it's easy to know how much food my baby is consuming. In addition, the cubes fit nice inside a standard size baby food jar, meaning I can defrost the food in a few existing baby food jars I own.In general, the shape of the cubes is pleasing. As others have mentioned, it's harder to get the cubes out of the try. I end up removing them one or two at a time. We have an icemaker. If I was constantly using ice on a daily basis, I think I'd find this very irritating and buy a plastic rather than rubber ice cube tray. However, if you want to be able to remove one or two cubes without making an icy mess, this style has its benefits.

I bought these ice cube trays <hl> for making baby food <hl> .


Question: Does the product need to be small enough to go inside of anything?

My requirements:1) Large enough for me to serve 8 guests.2) Plastic so it can sit outside on the tile patio, and if it drops, there wouldn't be glass shards everywhere.3) Fit into the fridge door (which this one does because it is oval rather than round - ingenious!)4) Clear so the tea is made quickly - which yesterday proved to be less than 20 minutes.5) A handle that mitigates the weight of the full pitcher.6) And finally, a lid design that allows me to pour without dribbling tea everywhere.A bonus benefit - I hadn't even asked for a way to add orange peels, etc for infusion but this design, with the separate "filter" works perfectly!

Question: when does the pan tip over?

I ordered this saucepan because it looked decent enough to serve my purpose. The package arrived on time, but contained a return sticker. So I am not sure if this product was bought from a store and then shipped to me. Product-wise, this is an okay saucepan. Like many reviewers mentioned, the handle is very heavy. So the pan has a tendency to tip over when empty. It did not seem a problem when I have liquid in the pan though. The pan also gets stained very easily in my opinion. The main problem I have with this pan is that the base is really really small. Because of this incredibly small surface, most of the heat from the stove is wasted and it takes longer for the liquid to boil. I would not recommend this pan. you can find something better for similar or slightly higher price.

Question: How many cups would the item hold without lids?

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

Question: How can dieters benefit from this scale?

Do you like to cook and sometimes don't get the right measurements for your ingredients? I have on different occasions before. Using measuring cups sometimes does not get the accurate measurement, especially for flour. Then you end up with thin cookies like I have done more than once.That's why the Ozeri Epicurean Digital Kitchen Scale is coming in real handy for my kitchen. This is an elegant and very modern looking scale indeed. It also is a sturdy and well made kitchen scale. It doesn't take up a lot of space on your kitchen counter and would look great sitting with your other kitchen appliances.This awesome scale would be great for measuring your amount of food for dieters or people watching their calorie intake also. You will know the specific measurement of your food and there will be no more guessing how much you ate. It is a lot easier than measuring the old fashioned way with measuring cups or what have you. The numbers are so easy to see even with a large bowl on the scale. I really love this amazing and exquisite kitchen scale!

Question: What is the benefit of a zig-zag edge?

Pinking shears are a necessity for anyone who sews. They cut a zig-zag edge, which helps prevent fraying. Whether you're working with fragile fabrics, or making doll clothes with narrow seam allowances, or just want a clean finish to your garment seams--you'll need a pair of pinking shears in your toolbox. I recommend them to all of my students.These pinking shears in particular are great. The handles are soft and the automatic spring action is a lifesaver. With regular pinking shears, you have to open and shut the blades with every stroke. This might not seem like much trouble, but pinking shears are heavier than regular scissors and more difficult to use. If you have any kind of arthritis in your hands, you'll want a pair with the spring action. Or even if you just have a large project ahead of you, with lots of fabric to be cut out. You'll be grateful for the spring action by the time you're done.That said, these pinking shears are a bit touchy. On average, they seem to last about three years before needing replacement. This is my third pair in ten years, but then again, I do cut a lot of thick fabrics, like denim and twill. They really don't like that. They'll do the job, but they get stuck at times and you have to pry the blades open.For those who aren't aware, they do require cleaning and oiling to keep the spring action running smoothly. Use a pipe cleaner to dust in between the blades, then place a drop or two of sewing machine oil onto the round part between the blades, near the handle. Then act as if you're cutting something, so the oil can work its way into the gears. Make sure you cut a piece of scrap fabric with them after oiling, so you don't accidentally drip any excess oil onto your nice fabric. A sign that they're getting old and need to be replaced is that the spring action stops working and you find yourself oiling them constantly, trying to get them to work.I give them four stars, because they are a pain to use when the blades stick. And you'd think they'd last longer than three years without needing to be replaced. But they're such a necessity in the sewing room, you really can't live without them. Highly recommended!

Question: Why did I got this item?

I got this so as not to wake others when grinding coffee in the morning, but it makes only slightly less noise than my Starbucks machine which does a better job. The Norpro makes you take the handle off to adjust the fineness of the grind, which is kind of inconvenient, and the grounds don't come out as even as my other machine. But it looks great on the counter, and the removable drawer that holds the grounds is a cool feature once you get used to how many beans to put in before it fills up (since it's not see-through). Guests always have fun using it.

Question: How many beers can you make at a time?

This is a fanatic kit that offers everything you need to make beer besides the ingredients and the bottle caps.The lit offers high quality equipment for a starter kit or a beer veteran looking for an upgrade. You could easily brew two beers at once, 1 in the carboy and the other in the plastic bucket. The siphon in invaluable in the bottling of the beer and drastically reduces the sediment during bottling.Other tips for people just starting out:- I do not like the cleaner agent that comes with the kit. I think 1 cup Clorox per gallon water and then rinsing in tap water works better and does not leave an odd taste.- If you live in a warm climate and use the carboy, you should google how to make an airlock run off before brewing (this is something that happens with carboys and has nothing to do with the kit)

Question: What colors is Fiestaware available in?

My wife and I love Fiestaware. It's durable. Resist chips. Safe to use in the dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer. And best of all, it's available in a range of fun, complimenting colors. You can either go with one color, or have fun mixing and matching a few sets.So far my wife and I have purchased six Fiesta 4-Piece Place Settings (tangerine, sunflower, paprika, scarlet, turquoise, and lemongrass), with a few extra serving dishes to match. It's awesome knowing that Fiestaware's been around for a while, and if we ever do break a piece, it's nice knowing it'll be easy to replace. We look forward to using Fiestaware in our family for many years to come!

Question: What do most recipes call for?

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: If Staging a house to sell, which teapot should be used?

I have been usingMedelco 12-Cup Glass Stovetop Whistling Kettlefor years, maybe even a decade, but I am always looking to improve my mays so I thought I would give this attractive Circulon Whistling Tea Kettle a shot. I definitely prefer my glass teapot for several reasons. First, it holds twice as much water. Second, you can see the water without having to open anything and peek. Third and probably most important is glass does not add a metallic taste to my water and/or my tea. The Circulon is more attractive though so I think if I was staging a home to sell, I would display the Circulon but when it comes to ease of use with the tastiest tea, I would always use and recommend glass tea pot.

Question: How often does the reviewer have to remove fruit from the dehydrator?

This thing is a hoot! So far I have dried peaches, apples and cherries and made beef jerky. That is more the function of how great dehydrators in general are though. THis one isn't ridiculously loud at all, as some people have said. You amy have to turn the TV up a few clicks if it is in the saem room, but you don't really notice it over a conversation or anything. Reasonable amount of space to dry stuff. My main issue is that it has major hot spots. I have to remove the fruit and stuff piece by piece every couple hours because some areas dry much mroe quickly. In retrospect, it would probably have been worth an extra $10 to find one without hotspots (but who knows, maybe that one would have them too and then I would have wasted $10). If this lasts through drying all of my produce this season, I will probably increase my review to 4 stars. Regardless, buy a dehydrator, even if it isnt this one!

My main issue is that it has major hot spots. I have to remove the fruit and stuff piece by piece <hl> every couple hours <hl> because some areas dry much mroe quickly. In retrospect, it would probably have been worth an extra $10 to find one without hotspots (but who knows, maybe that one would have them too and then I would have wasted $10). If this lasts through drying all of my produce this season, I will probably increase my review to 4 stars. Regardless, buy a dehydrator, even if it isnt this one!


Question: What is lacking in this product according to the author?

Pros:Can be used with no powerThe price is rightEasy clean upCons:Grind consistency is lacking. I've been playing with the course setting for days and days and cannot get a consistently sized grind for my French Press. There are large chunks of bean in with the grinds. My electric blade "grinder" has the same consistency and all I have to do is push a button and walk away.The nut on the top always comes loose when grinding. I have to stop every few turns and re-tighten it or the handle will eventually fall off.The hopper jams a lot if the grinder is left on the counter top. I have to pick it up so that the motion of turning the handle will cause the beans to fall into the grinder.

Question: What additional feature does the fake dish have that the real one hasn't?

OK, so I saw in the reviews and photos that some people were receiving a cheap knockoff version of this soap dish, with no slant and a suction cup on it. However, most of the reviews over the more recent months showed people getting the correct item, so I thought Amazon must've corrected the problem. Not so. Ordered 3 days ago, got the idiotic replica which for some reason has no slant whatsoever (one would think even the people making the knockoffs would recognize the overall purpose of the thing.) It's also itty bitty, maybe holding a hotel bar comfortably, but no way a bath bar. And what's with the suction cup? If used on a flat surface, it would make it rock back and forth. Anyhow, it's going back immediately. Ridiculous to waste the time, effort, shipping, etc just to randomly give people either the correct product or a cheap, useless version. If you try it, good luck. At least Amazon has easy returns.

Question: What the products is this product quieter than?

Works well.Quieter than our Dyson and our Bissell.Has very good suction.Wish it came with a tube extension (it only comes with one that's about 2 feet long) so reaching higher spots it a challenge.The cord rewind doesn't all work like it should. Sometimes it stops before it rewinds all the way. I also don't really care of just letting the cord rewind with some "guidance" because towards the end the plug starts whipping around and I'm concerned it will whack and damage something.I cannot recommend using this on wood floors. The SuctionSeal part actually slides along the floor and if you catch something (like sand, or a small rock) the part will push the bit around and scratch the floor so you really need to set the depth just a bit higher than "bare floor."All in all, good and works well.

Question: What magazine had an ad for the spatula?

Saw the review for this in Cooks Illustrated and couldn't believe there was a spatula out there that was real rubber and I had missed it, but here it is! Just like the old Rubbermaids of yore. It is all it says that it is! It has a substantial handle a very good sized "head" and a little notch to clean the bowl. There are two handle lengths, a 13 inch and a 9 1/2'. At first I thought the 13" was too long, however, it has become very useful for many jobs around the kitchen.Rubbermaid White Spatula 9 1/2"I have found that they do not pick up color, at least not with my pasta sauce or food coloring when baking; nor do the heads pick up any odor, especially when working with pasta sauce and garlic. Ultimately a very useful and dependable tool to have around the kitchen.

Question: How much water do they dump down the drain

We have a small room converted to an office, on the second story of our house. The room does not have the best circulation, and in the middle of the summer (hot and humid days) it got really damp feeling in there.Based on a recommendation from a Home Depot associate, decided to give DampRid a try -- and have been very happy ever since. We put the container in the room, and about every few weeks or so we dump out more than a cup full of water down the drain. These refills do the same job that the original pack did, and the room feel and smells much better now.Guess we will have to figure out why the issue occurs (maybe need to replace the 13 year old windows seals?), but until then these do the job.

Question: Where were the bags taken?

As I have an agitator washing machine, I really appreciate bagging bras and other items that used to tangle brutally in the wash, sometimes strangling other stuff into deep wrinkles that needed an iron to get out. I took two of the bags on vacation with me last year and felt none of the usual embarrassment at laundry time when I had to mix my clothes with those of my host family. The bags are opaque enough to give a bit of privacy to what's inside. Thanks for a durable product that saves both threads and personal pride.

Question: What is the name of the coffee machine?

I've been using the Breville daily for over four years,multiple cups a day. It's a solid machine and the coffee is excellent *IF* you follow a few simple steps. It's not going to keep pumping water if you don't descale or clean out the needle head. It's really common sense, water and coffee grinds are bound to clog things up now and again. The descaling process is a little more than a simple brew cycle with vinegar. The vinegar/water mix needs a few hours "in the pipes' so overnight is ideal. Referring to the instructions is always an excellent first step.Recently though, I did notice the machine groaning and struggling to pump the water and make the coffee I had come to really love. A brilliant reviewer suggested a shot of compressed air but I used my steam machine (all I had handy) to clean and flush out the water lines and needle head. A few minutes later and I could see the water level drop in the tank like it did when it was brand new and it quietly made me another cup of perfect coffee. Between you and me, I think I heard it whisper "thank you."

Question: How many does he have?

*Disclosure: I was contacted by a rep for Living Concept and provided a free sample for the purposes of giving my thoughts on it.*Hanging 10 in the closet. Who knew? Anyhow, this wood and metal hanger for the closet is indeed multi-purpose. Scarves, ties, hosiery, panties, bras, belts, socks, hats, and so on. The wood is solid and tough, the metal loops rigid and strong. If you can work out how to hang something from it, there ya go. It comes at a cheap investment price, likely less expensive than you would pay for the raw materials to make something similar. In my closet, it's doing at find job at hold all the belts I've picked up over the years.

Question: How much can fit inside the toaster?

Great toaster, makes bagels just like the bagel shops (crisp on the inside and soft on the outside-assuming you cut the bagel in half of course). Easy to make toast, however, it can only do two large pieces of bread at once, one on each rack. I had to put felt pads under the feet since the feet material made little black marks on my white corian type countertop. Easy to clean crumb catcher - just empty it a lot since it is a simple small pull out tray. DON'T try to take out the racks to put in the dishwasher like the pamphlet says is possible - or your toaster is toasted. We like ours a lot and it is well constructed and doors and racks glide in and out effortlessly. I may buy a couple more for my daughters to use too.

Question: How quickly can you make the popcorn

This is such a fantastic gadget. Honestly, read the packets of your microwave popcorn. Then go a step further and count the calories in that made with oil. Sure you have your fiber, but you just don't need all that to get a favorite snack.Enter this one...It's small but is a workhorse when needed for a party, popping 18 cups of popcorn in under 3 minutes. But here is the kicker: You can eat TWO cups of popcorn for only 30 CALORIES AND NO CALORIES FROM FAT.Win!Nearly 90 percent less fat than regular popped popcorn.So how does it work? With hot air. That also means there is virtually no clean up after use.It is easiest enough to use that even kids can do it and it comes with a butter or margarine melter that is also a measuring cup.Very few kernals were left unpopped. I bought Bob's Red Mill popcorn to use with it because they focus on the natural and I wanted a totally healthy snack. ( I have no affiliation but use lots of their stuff.)It's a clean and beneficial snack in so many regards and it fills you up for hours. And, at this low calorie a snack, why wouldn't you love it?

Question: What need to be done before installation?

I got this to go in our bathroom. We have a tile shower with a built in seat and I did not want to drill holes in the tile. Most tension caddys look cheap and fragile or are made of cheap chrome or have plastic shelves that collect mold or chrome shelves that rust. We have not had a tension caddy before but asked friends how theirs held up over time and most with chrome complained about rust. One friend pointed me to this product she has one and has had no rust problems.This is an aluminum pole with stainless steel adjustable shelves. It was well packed and easy to assemble and install. I was able to do it alone with no help from my husband. We have a very high ceiling and I found a spot on the shower seat that was perfect and it positioned securely on the first try. I looks great like a high quality item and it holds a lot. The shelves have to be put on before installation but can be adjusted once installed. It has a five year warranty from the manufacturer.This is a quality product, worth the money.

Question: How large is the bowl on this glass?

This glass is perfectly designed to bring out all of the best of a great whiskey, scotch, or bourbon. I find it also useful for high quality spirits you wish to drink neet. The bowl is shaped to help designate about one ounce of spirit (while permitting enough area to assist in the opening of the bouquet of the spirit). The narrow mouth concentrates the aromas for you full enjoyment (especially if you have pre-chilled the spirit you are drinking). The shape of the stem and bowl are wonderful to assist in the warming by your hands and the swirl of the spirit to bring out the brands best qualities on your palette.
