Question: The customer complained that the cfarage was not easy to do what?

This coffee maker does a good job of brewing a fine tasting cup of coffee.The controls are simple and easy to read.It brews pretty quickly and holds a hot pot for a couple of hours.Our last Krups machine was easier to add both water and grounds. The one piece access cover to both coffee grounds and water addition make it somewhat clumsy to do a fast clean job.There is a tiny little target to add water and the top gets in the way of draining the carafe into the water reservoir.I don't care for cleaning the stainless lid much either but I'm retired and lazy as the day is long! The carafe is not so easy to empty the last drop out of either. It did not meet our expectations and I would not purchase it again.I hope Krups comes out with a better design by the time we need to buy another.

Answer: empty the last drop

Question: Where do they get placed?

These mats are not fabulous, however they work really well for me. Just the right size, fairly thick plastic, and although there was a rubber smell for 1 or 2 days the odor went away. This is my second pair and the first pair lasted three years - they do lay directly on the sink so mold, betwee the flower petals, started to be a concern after three years, but, for the price, they are a nice quality. I didn't rate a 5, because they are not top of the line, but they are more than adequate. After all - three years!

Answer: directly on the sink

Question: What does the writer prefer for everyday coffee grinding for a normal drip pot?

This is my first burr grinder, so I really have no comparison, but still I'll share my experience.I bought this grinder because my old blade grinder died and I like my coffee. All the coffee snob websites (yes, I'm a coffee snob) say that burr grinding is the way to go because blade grinders heat the beans while grinding and this affects the taste. So, since the old one died, I decided to try the burr. Plus, I use a french press at times, so I wanted to be able to grind coarsely to minimize the sludginess in the bottom of my cup (not that I mind it terribly).So, I started using this on coarse setting for my french press. My experience with the coffee, though, was that my sludge factor wasn't lessened over my blade grinder, which I surmise to mean that I'm not getting consistent particle size (still generating fines on coarse setting). Further, I can't taste the difference between burr grinded coffee and blade grinded coffee. So, take that for what it's worth.The unit is messy. Coffee sticks in the bottom bin because of static, which isn't a huge deal, but the discharge from the machine to the bin also contains coffee which falls out on the counter when you remove the plastic bin. cleanup is sort of a pain inside the grinder itself. They say to wipe with a damp cloth and they give you a little brush to brush the little gears. You need a brush with coarser bristles to really get the coffee out, and still, there are remnants of coffee in there that I just can't get out. Maybe I'm overly concerned about cleanliness, but it bothers me.This thing is next to worthless for finer grinds (I'd say anything significantly shy of 25%, towards the fine end). The beans seem to just cease entering the grinder periodically. Then you have to turn it off, unplug it, remove the bottom bin and dump out the beans and put them back in again (or shake the unit) to get it to start grinding again. The beans come out looking pretty finely ground, but it's just aggravating trying to get it to grind the whole batch. This happens on almost every grind on the fine setting and even periodically on the coarser settings...which makes the preset for the amount of coffee (take note, 1 cup = 1.5 tbsp coffee) pointless, because you have to turn it off in the middle to clear the jam.I know you get what you pay for and this is really far down on the price scale for burr grinders. Still, I would expect it to work over it's full range of operations.If you really want a burr grinder, you probably need to invest in a better model (if you want fine grind, at least). But honestly, for just everyday coffee grinding for a normal drip pot (or even a french press) the blade grinders available for half the price seem to perform just as well as this and the cleanup is far easier.

Question: What is a benefit in comparison to cheaper cutting boards?

I end up replacing my cheap plastic cutting boards way more often than I'd like. They get warped and slide around on the counter, I get mad, throw them away, and order a new set. So I decided it was time to be a grown-up and buy one that cost more but would last longer.After reading tons of reviews (including ones in Cook's Illustrated) I broke down and shelled out the cash for this one. And I'm so glad I did.1. Its gorgeous. How many cutting boards can you say that about? So pretty that it stays out on my kitchen island all the time. And even the cut marks give it character.2. Its heavy. Which means no sliding or slipping.3. Its easy to clean. Wipe and done.

Question: Why did the consumer only give the chair a 4 star rating instead of a 5 star rating?

My previous desk chair had just about no padding left in the seat (thanks a lot, Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption) so I was excited to try out this mesh back chair.Assembly was very easy and only took about 5-6 minutes using the included allen wrench.After a few days of using the chair extensively I can report that it is extremely comfortable. The seat has great padding and the mesh back is contoured which really helps my lower back. My previous chair had a nearly-straight back and I guess I didn't even realize how uncomfortable it was.The height can be adjusted, from "holy cow, I'm towering over my computer desk" all the way down to "uh, I'm not sure I can get up from down here."I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it just doesn't have as many options as you might expect to see in a chair in this price range. There is no way to recline, and there are no arms. Neither particularly bothers me, as I primarily use it for PC gaming, but there are a lot of high-quality chairs out there that offer a recline option and arms for around the same price.Overall, this chair is very comfortable and I'd recommended it as long as you understand its limitations.

Question: At what holiday has the consumer used the grill pan?

For approximately three years I have used this grill pan to grill indoors. In fact I used it once again to prepare our Fourth of July barbecue inside the house as the wind was blowing. The wind blows here a lot, so I've used this pan many times to get the barbecue flavor indoors.I use my high heat burner to preheat the pan and then grill steaks, hamburgers or hot dogs on it. The pan leaves authentic grill marks on the food. It looks and pretty well tastes like food grilled on the outdoor barbecue grill.The pan is very easy to clean. I let the pan cool and then add a small amount of water to it. I then simmer the water to help release some of the barbecue mess. I gently scrub the pan with my nylon scrubber and I am done.Great tasting food with a pan that's easy to use and clean.

Question: What impression does the product image give?

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 type of clothing slipped off the satin hangers?

Question: What was a downside?

This heater would have fit perfectly where we wanted it. It also put out a decent amount of heat. But it also put out a horrific plasticy type of smell. No plastic was burning that I could see. Worries me that something toxic might have been used on this thing, who knows? I put it outside, ran it for at least 6 hours and still the smell lingers. You can even smell it after the heater has cooled down, but it is less pronounced. Gotta send this back, maybe if you buy one, you'll have better luck, but I'm not taking the chance.

Question: what "great" things did the author buy

My closet has a steel modular unit that has shelves. These shelves had an amazing way of collecting piles of clothes, hats and flip-flops. Well collect no more, little shelves, I bought these great little baskets. I was able to neatly fold clothes and then place into them into the baskets. They slide easily out so I can retrieve my items. I ordered 2 sets of 6, which was surprisingly shipped (with my Prime membership) in ONE day instead of the FREE 2 day....what a bonus!I have these baskets in other sizes and have had them for years. They are the only brand of basket that actually stands up to years of abuse and use.

Question: When did this person buy the product?

Got these 18 months ago for a kitchen remodel, loved the look and price. Long story short, they are not super supportive and don't feel very sturdy. If you're in the 190-200# range, they will not stay up at the selected height and will eventually sink down to the bottom position.I don't feel comfortable sitting in them and do not feel they support me well or safely. Too bad, they look nice, now they are just ornamentation for the kitchen bar. They may be cheap, but in this case you get what you pay for. Not recommended, unless you weigh less than 120# and don't mind no back support.

Question: Does it have quality construction?

I have struggled with space in tiny cabinets for years. I just wound up digging through tons of canned goods, wound up loosing small things and was generally unhappy about the whole situation. This worked out beautifully, especially the bottom portion which is large enough for full sized canned goods (10>16oz type). The top portion because of how small my cabinents are, doesn't hold a lot but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves, toothpicks and etc. It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book.It's not especially strong palstic, but so far it been holding up well. I've had it for a handful months and no cracks or issues so far.

The top portion because of how small my cabinents are, doesn't hold a lot but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves, toothpicks and etc. It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book.It's <hl> not especially strong palstic <hl>, but so far it been holding up well. I've had it for a handful months and no cracks or issues so far.

It's <hl> not especially strong palstic <hl> , but so far it been holding up well.


Question: When should we expect an updated review?

It's been about a month so I will have to post an updated part of this review in 5 months or so. But so far, these pillows are great. Definitely hotel-quality and definitely durable. My fiance is the "pilowhammer" type and will usually have to fold them in half to make them firm enough. With these pillows, he is no longer tossing and turning adjusting, it's a full night of wakeless sleep. And after a month they are just as firm as the day we got them. I've been looking for good pillows for years and finally found them! (Be sure to pick the firm type, it's still soft as a cloud.)

Question: What thread count cover did they purchase?

I am pretty picky with these things, but this duvet insert is perfect for me. I usually kick off my blankets in the night and then wake up feezing in the early morning hours. That doesn't happen anymore with this duvet. It keeps enough heat in to keep me comfortably warm but not so much that I start feeling overheated and claustrophobic. So glad I got this. I used it for a few nights without the duvet cover since that had not arrived yet - I would not reccommend that as it will shed little white fuzzballs everywhere. Since getting it in the duvet cover, that has not been a problem. I recommend using this with the duvet clips available on Amazon to keep the devet aligned witht he cover. I bought the Royal Hotel 800 thread count king size duvet cover which fit perfectly with this king size insert.

Question: What brand of knife is perfect for chopping tomatoes and onions?

I have tons of Wusthof knives, they're really wonderful and I've had them for years and years. I bought this knife on a whim, since I've been more of a fan of Cook's knives in the past.I don't know how I lived without this fabulously sharp knife. I use it for almost all my slicing and chopping now. My housekeeper and I fight over this knife.I bought the hollow edge for thin slicing and it works perfectly, especially on tomatoes and onions, which I have to chop in a tiny yet precise dice for salsas.I sharpen this knife with my chef's choice sharpener and have seen no damage to the egde or hollows.

Question: What is the top layer of the wok?

The first thing we love about Green Earth Wok by Ozeri is the fact that its from nature and helps support greener living. Free of chemicals 100% PTFE and PFOA free and I use very minimnal oil and have had no sticking. The green is a perfect shade of green that matches my kitchen decor.The first time we used the pan we, of course used a dry cloth to wipe it out. Then I used 1 table spoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to season the pan and because its better for you too. But we should have used less than that because we had a little extra oil in the pan to begin cooking our stir fry. We first added meat and browned it just a little bit before adding vegetables.Then we added carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, with just a little bit of Teriyaki seasoning. The Ecozeri Green Earth wok is a must have in any kitchen. It holds the heat well, but is non-stick enough that you would have to try to burn its contents. Its is 12 inches in diameter which is the perfect size for any size family.Green Earth Wok by Ozeri has 5 layers that make great pans they are: Ecozeri Multilayered coating that is a powerful non stick ceramic layer, Premium Top Ceramic Layer, Aluminum, Pro-base Ceramic Coating Layer, and a Ceramic Coating Bond Layer. It is oven safe has a comfortable handle and easy to use, wash, cook and clean who doesn't love those features in a pan!!

Question: What is the author new to doing?

I'm new to using a Food Saver, and I waited until I had used quite a few of the bags, before giving this review.So far, the Food Saver Bags have worked out very well for me. I have tried different kinds of items sothat I would know if they work on wet and also dry items, and for me, they have really done a wonderful job.These bags are really easy to use, and have been perfect, mainly because the is no loss, or any waste using them.You get to make the size you need, not what's available in the stores that zip. The seals are really strong, and theprice is very reasonable too. All in all, I'm really pleased that I finally purchased the Food Saver system, and will bepurchasing these bags quite a bit in the future.

Question: What is the screen near the top used for?

With one package of 2 filters that fit pur and brita filter pitchers, among others worldwide, you get the ability to turn water into drinkable water with just gravity. These are simple to use - you need to flush them with about 1 gallon or 4 liters of water to activate all the filter area. Once done, each filter in the 2 pack will filter 40 gallons / 151L of water. The screen you see near the top is to keep the carbon inside the filter and not let it float out into the unfiltered water section.These are very well made and designed to fit most pitcher filter designs which simplifies stocking one filter for whatever pitcher you use.Made in switzerland the quality is top notch. Multilingual instructions are provided on the box.

Question: what caused the smudging and marks to be seen?

We purchased this water kettle to replace an old plastic version that had stopped shutting off when the water boiled. Like so many others, I wanted to get away from plastic for something we use so often to heat water. Initially it appeared well built and heated water quickly with no impact on the taste of the water. Everything was great. Well, 8 months in, the kettle stopped turning off when the water boiled. Unacceptable. That is the reason for 1 star. There were other minor points of concern. The joint between the plastic base and the metal had started to corrode. I can't say if it would fail but it looked bad. Finally, the highly polished finish shows every mark or smudge. sadly, in less than a year, i purchased another kettle.

Question: DOes the buyer consider these bowls as one set or more than one set?  And if so how many?

I actually think of this as 2 sets of bowls. The smallest bowls make great ingredient cups. I like to measure out ingredients into small bowls before mixing or cooking and line up the bowls in the order the ingredients will be used. This keeps track of my progress if I am interrupted and assures that I don't miss anything. The larger bowls are great for many things in the kitchen--mixing, defrosting, even informal serving. They are great in the microwave and don't break easily. My fingers aren't as reliable as they used to be and I have already dropped a couple of these and they didn't break when they hit the floor.

Question: What kind of handles are on the knife?

I got these as a gift. I wasn't wild about the crazy colors, but as knives go, they are really good.They're very sharp, work well, the handles are gel/rubberized, and they come with color-coded covers/sheaths. I previously had a giant wood block full or terribly dull knives. I was very glad to get these. I have a small, narrow knife holder that holds any size knives, and all I have in it now are these three knives. It's nice - takes up less room, and the knives actually WORK. All you need are these knives. Steak knives, you can keep in the drawer. Good gift!

Question: How old is the item in question?

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.

Question: What do you need to carefully do?

The Big Boss Pro Steam is truly a powerful iron for those cotton shirts and even bed sheets you may not want to throw in the dryer. The steam vents are plenty and quite powerful. You need to carefully see where the vents are before shooting steam so you don't hurt yourself. The iron itself looks good but is quite heavy. While I like this iron for hard to iron clothes, I still prefer my Panasonic to this one because it's light and easier to hold. That said, if you only use an iron for cotton, you will love this one.

Question: What size of fridge do I have?

Finding a decent pitcher is much harder than I thought it would be. Seriously.I looked at Target, Wally World, other sellers on Amazon and even fancy department stores and I found it difficult to find a large pitcher that did not completely suck. I am convinced that perhaps this company is the only one that knows how to make a decent pitcher. Let me tell you why I love it.First of all it is made in the US. Maybe the last thing made here in this country. So thats a big plus in my book. Also it's large, but not humongus. I think maybe it might be the perfect size. It's sturdy. I like that. No tuperware film-flam here. I like that the lid fits perfectly and is simple and easy. I like that it fits in the door of my fridge (I have a standard size US fridge). It looks good too.I feel kind of silly reviewing a pitcher online, but seriously, it's hard to find a decent one. Like I said, this might be the only decent pitcher out there in the marketplace in my opinion.

Question: What word did the author use to describe the basic design?

I am pleased with the Omron scale. It seems accurate compared to our other scale and has a sleek simple design. I like that I just need to step on it to get a reading. We have another "fancier" scale that does BMI readings and so forth (can make you feel depressed on many more levels) and you have to press buttons to identify which user you are. That can be annoying at 4:00 AM. So the basic design is refreshing. One issue with this scale, as with others we have tried, is that moving the scale to different areas on our bathroom floor causes the weight to change. This may be an issue with our floor (there is definitely a fat zone, where no scale is placed), but I am not sure.Overall, this is a nice scale and well worth the price.

Question: What is sturdy and easy to thread?

This is a great reuseable cup. Fine for filling at home and traveling with and just as good for taking in to your local Starbucks and getting your fix. It washes up well, I have not seen any staining like another reviewer mentioned. The insulated grip is in the right place and is comfortable to hold. The plastic cup material doesn't get too hot anyway and acts as a good insulator. I have a ceramic to go mug as well and it gets really hot and transmits that heat. If you don't hold that mug by its grip you will get burned. Not so with this one. The lid is sturdy and easy to thread on every time. There is no leakage or dribbling and the drinking hole is quite adequate for sipping, even when you're driving. If you take this baby into Starbucks just hand it over (minus the lid; they make you hold on to that for some reason) and ask for a grande. yay! Win-win! You have a cool cup with your favorite Starbucks coffee beverage AND are doing your part to keep paper cups out of our landfills. AND Starbucks will charge you 10 cents less (you may have to remind them)! The only thing that would improve this cup, in my opinion, is an awesome design on it, the white is OK, simple and elegant even, but not exciting. But that's just aesthetics--the functionality is the best. Buy it.

Question: Where is the dispensing end located?

These are short and hard to knock over. My parents had knocked over and cracked their taller acrylic set. The dispensing end is on the top so no annoying crumbs on table or cabinet. My parents like the little screw on caps which I might have thrown away. Also good If you live in a humid climate where salt cakes. Great genuine ceramic grinder, easy to turn. Since my parents are older I was worried about ease of use. These are very easy to use and adjust grind coarseness. I have been looking for these after buying a similar set 10 years ago. They are thick glass so very tough and seemingly impossible to break.

Question: What type of ridges does the lid have?

This is the "best buy" blender recommended by Cook's Illustrated. They marked it down for not making perfectly smooth smoothies, and for taking a long-ish time to work. So far I have only used this blender to make smoothies, and there are often a few little chunks. Just something to be aware of if you're very particular about your smoothies.As other reviewers noted, the gasket for the blade is a clear/whitish color and could easily be lost.The edges on this blender are a little harsh: I cut my finger with the bottom of the base while getting it off a shelf, and the lid's plastic ridges are a bit sharp too. Just be careful.If these problems don't bother you, this is really a great deal for a blender. I expect to get many smoothies out of it, and am pleased overall with this product.

Question: How does the reviewer feel about the product?

Overall, I am very pleased with this product. However, after about 1.5 years of use, it now leaks out of the sides even when filled to half its capacity. It doesn't leak a substantial amount, but it makes a mess and is a pain to clean because it gets between the plastic and the machine. Still - overall a great product, but has not stood the test of time.

Question: How long has the user had this kettle?

This kettle seems great! I've only had it for a couple days, but I'm sure I've used it at least 10 times since then (I drink a lot of tea, and need hot water for other reasons).It heats water fast, shuts off timely after boil, stays hot. The cord wraps around the base so you can keep it short, thus not getting in the way. No leaks so far. Best part about this kettle is that water only comes in contact with the stainless. The interior of the kettle is completely stainless except the lid. After checking with the manufacturer they use a 304SS which is from the highest quality stainless avail. This should help with rust buildup in hard water areas. Although a 202SS is suffised, if you live in an area with hard water its worth paying a bit more... Overall, this is a great product at a great price.

Question: What does red wine have to do in order to taste its best?

I have just started to drink a bit more wine lately, and although I'm certainly no wine connoisseur, I do know enough to realize that your red wine needs to decant a bit for optimum taste. However, the decanting process seemed like such a hassle - who really wants to spend time pulling a decanter off a shelf just to have to wash it later - plus, you have to wait, and as Inigo Montoya so eloquently said, "I hate waiting." Now, the problem is solved! Attach this aerator to your bottle, pour your glass, and enjoy right away. No waiting. That makes me happy!

Question: In addition to my ofice, where did I purchase the tea balls for?

I should have listened to the negative reviews. I bought 2 of these; one was for my office and the other for my house. This tea ball is hideously cheap and I'm expecting it to snap apart any day now. The latch to close it seems dangerous. You can probably slice a piece of your finger off if you're not paying attention. The quality of the mesh seems cheap and I'm almost afraid it's some kind of cheap, dangerous metal and not something safe to be steeping in hot water. I should have taken the trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond to be able to check out other types of tea balls before getting this model. I won't argue about the fact that it's big. It fits a lot of tea leaves in it. But its quality is lacking and there are definitely better ones out there.

Question: what wouldn't stay attached to the food handle?

I love this product! I have a mandolin for cutting up food, but it was almost impossible to use because the food never seemed to stay attached to the pronged food handle. Or, I'd end up with big pieces of waste food that couldn't be cut cuz they were too small for the handle. With this glove I can cut anything on the mandolin or grater without any fear of scrapes or cuts. When I'm done cutting, I just wash and rinse my hands thoroughly with the glove ON to remove any food juice and particles, and then just take if off and throw it in the dish drainer to dry.

Question: What is the one problem with the bags?

These bags are very roomy and have a place inside on each side to slide a bottle or jar into. Half gallon of milk fits great.Everytime I use them the cashier and baggers comment on how nice they are.They keep everything nice and cold on the drive home. (My drive is about 45 minutes).They also hold way more than the store bags and are VERY sturdy. Nice and thick.The zippers are just a little bit.......not really hard to close, but you do have to take a second or two to get them to slide around.I'm going to get my daughter-in-law some so she doesn't have to keep borrowing mine.

Question: What did the writer find out from some bad reviews?

I thought I had rated this vacuum before. I can't say enough about it. I've read some bad reviews about people not getting response from Hoover. I had a problem at about the one year point with the handle. It broke right where the screw is to hold it to the rest of the product. I called Hoover and I had another handle within three weeks. I had registered the vacuum with Hoover when I received it so I think that speeded up the process. How else do they know when you've purchased it and aren't trying to scam them. Since getting the new handle, I use clear packaging tape to help secure it to the base to hold it sturdier. I highly recommend people register their product as soon as they receive it. I use in the kitchen and bathrooms but not on carpet as we have a heavier one for that. If/when something does eventually happen to it after the warranty period, I will definitely get another one.

Question: What was done before using the towels?

Question: What do the smaller T-discs contain?

This little doo-hickey converted us from a Tassimo T-Disc enjoying household, to a Tassimo T-Disc loving household! It has a classic chrome look that will appeal to the aesthetic of most home kitchen barista environs. You'll love filling it up, using them up, and filling it up again. Guaranteed to increase your consumption of T-Discs (is that a good thing? I think so). The four sections mean there is room for four varieties of T-Discs. The bottom of each section offers space for simple removal and dispatch of both smaller (espresso) and larger (creamers) T-Discs.

Question: What pan is this?

My wife is a muffin maker supreme. Seriously, she makes the best muffins in the known universe. Which means our house is filled with baking pans of every variety. Silicone. Metal. Paper. Everything.She has tried a variety of silicone baking pans, of which this “Ozera 2 Pack Silicone Muffin Pan” is the latest. While she is a fan of the silicone baking cup liners, this full-fledged pans don’t get her seal of approval. All for the same reason; they are too floppy.These pans are way too floppy to use on their own. They have to be set on a rigid baking sheet in order to get them in and out of the oven. And once out of the oven, they are unwieldy to use. She much prefers the regular metal pans with the silicone baking cups. They cook better and are easier to use.That said, this Ozera product is as good as any other we have used. There was nothing in particular to distinguish it from other silicone muffin pans. It is pretty generic. It really boils down to whether or not you are a fan of silicone muffin pans or not. If you are, then these Ozera pans will be just what you need.Sample provided for review.

Question: What have you baked in the pan?

Visitors to my kitchen spot this pan and often ask what I use it to do. My answer: "Name it". Sautee some chopped onions before adding in fresh fish or poultry? Check. Scamble up an omelet with saugage on the side? Not a problem. Mix up a batch of cornbread dough, pour it into this pan then pop in the oven? Don't waste my time!It's just a terrific can-do pan that does everything I've dreamed up for it to do, cleans easily, and is ready for more. I've even started a few meat dishes in the pan before finishing them in the oven, that is browning on the stove top and slow roasting or baking in the oven to finish up. If you don't have one of these pans in your kitchen, you need to add it to your collection because you'll wonder, as I have, how you got along without it to this point.
