Question: How high of a setting can the cooking sheets be used in the oven?

Heavy gauge, bright and shiny. ;) I use these sheets all the time. I wrap ribs in foil, cook for 3 hours at 250-degrees on them. Brown potatoes on them in a 500-degree oven. Grill veggies on them. And I'm forever buying new sheets. They just won't hold up. I have absolutely no doubt this one will. It's heavier than what you normally find. And being aluminum? They're going to be much easier to clean than what I've bought in the past. Should have bought these a long time ago.You won't be disappointed.Oh! I forgot. Some people commented on the sticker being hard to get off. ??? I don't know, maybe they changed it. But I washed the pan, used a Scotchbrite on it, and it came right off. No problem.

Answer: 500-degree

Question: What function is disabled by cleaning?

We bought this atrocity 8 months ago. the thermal carafe does not keep the coffee hot for starters. The idiot who designed the program feature is laughing the whole way tot he bank. The cleaning cycle comes on every two months which is fine, however even after cleaning it 3 times with solution, the regular clock does not come back up unless we unplug it and plug it in again which means that it also has to be reprogrammed. the clock and auto program function are so ridiculous it is annoying. I would steer clear of this machine. Oh yes, and the top of the carafe doe snot come apart to clean. Again, Do NOT buy this lousy machine.

Question: How many pounds of potatoes did they use with this product?

Never used a ricer before so can't compare the workability of this product compared to others, but this is not as easy to use as it seems. Still need to use a lot of strength to squeeze the potatoes through as well as doing it in many batches for 2.5 lbs potatoes. I was afraid the handles would break when I squeeze them hard. The potatoes have to be very, very soft in order to squeeze them out easily. Some lumps still remain. It's not too useful for drier, denser or more fibrous variety of root vegetables such as the purple sweet potato I tried ricing. Sometimes the mash pushes up the inner basket because the metal plate couldn't squeeze out the mash fast enough and that makes a mess. Finally, for around $20 (incl. shipping) this is rather expensive for a piece of plastic.

Question: What material is used to make the fireproof cover on the new mattress?

This mattress was purchased as a spare place to sleep. I was surprised how heavy it is. The shipping weight is listed as 33 pounds but my twin mattress weighed 47 pounds. A lot heavier than my previous twin 10 inch mattress. I think the addition of latex foam adds a lot of weight. I would call it medium firm as it seems to have the traditional memory foam which is not very soft like the newer open cell memory foam. My mattress expanded to 7 inches by the 3rd day. If your heavier than 200lbs I would recommend a 10 inch or thicker mattress. It's difficult to move from room to room because of the weight and the lack of rigidity latex foam has. I slept on it 2 times and it was comfortable enough to use occasionally. When I need to replace it, I will go back to the 10 inch open cell mattress I had previously. It was more comfortable and easier to move.I changed my rating from 3 stars to 1 star based on the fact that the fire proof cover is made from fiberglass and I have read other mattress reviews stating that the fiberglass breaks down and works it's way through the top cover. It can get into your skin and lungs. I am considering tossing this mattress.

Question: Where did the user's wife do research?

My wife said that she wanted an electric skillet for Christmas so I did a ton of research on Amazon and this one had the best and most believable ratings I could find. Told the wife to measure and be sure of the size she wanted and she chose the 16 inch. The skillet couldn't be better, It is solidly built and very streamlined with everything handily in place for easy usage. The only problem we have found is that the wife didn't quite do her homework and we find that this big guy takes a LOT of counter space and storage space. However, we have decided that it is worth it and we will never want for a great turkey cooker if all the family drops in for a Christmas dinner.

Question: what happens to the surface of the pan that might make it less attractive?

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: Why would you get this product?

I have 4 children and have had this for 3 months now. It is GREAT, I would highly recomend if you do not want the cereal boxes lying around everywhere. It keeps the cereal fresh, is easy to fill and super easy for a 3, 5, 6 and 10 year old to get their cereal each morning. The quality is excelent. 4 friends who saw it at my house have already bought it. It is large, in the picture you cannot tell so much but it does ocupy some space. it also contains a full box of cereal in each canister. I read the bad reviews and have not had one problem with cereal crunching or anything of the sort, up to now I have put in cherios, fruit loops and reeses puffs, perfect performance, no complaints at all. I set it up myself and it was supert easy and fast to put together.

Question: What version of the timer does the speaker prefer?

I first bought the white version of this timer about ten years ago. At that time, it sold for $30, so at $15 it's a bargain; recently I bought the black version, which with its colored buttons looks cooler than white.For the last few years, I've used the old one at least ten times a day, without ever having to change batteries. I've dropped it a few times on a ceramic floor and otherwise abused it occasionally, but all three functions still work perfectly. It's simple to set, has a "batch feature" (meaning it recalls the previous setting when you turn it off) so you don't have to reset it when you continue to use a particular setting. It's meant to be carried around your neck, if you wish, so it's on the small side and the compact button layout might not be convenient for people with arthritis.It does what it was designed to do extremely well; what more can you ask?

Question: How does the reviewer feel about buying this mattress?

I'm glad I bought this mattress. I did it so I would have more bed space for other people when they visit. It fills up fast with the built in pump and lasts all night. I think it does need to be refilled before each use but it doesn't deflate much during the night. (The air latch needs to be properly secured otherwise it will deflate.) Comfort-wise, I would say it's about 7 out of 10. But, it's an airbed so that is sort of to be expected. Size-wise, it's nice and big and fits two adults comfortably.

Question: What does the product do when the water is done being heated?

This is an excellent hot-water kettle. I really love being able to choose the water temperature appropriate for the tea or coffee I am going to make. And the keep-warm feature is good too -- go back and re-brew your oolong, or make another cup of whatever. It is well designed, very well thought out, easy to use, the lights let you read the water height and amount, and it beeps to tell you that the water has come up to temperature. I really like it, and I'm seriously thinking of getting one for my tea-loving brother.

Question: What drys the carpet just fine?

Fist off, there is a paper ad under the plastic where it sucks up the water, you might want to remove that ;)My mom used to swear by those carpet cleaners you rent from the super market. Once a month, me and my dad had to move all the furniture around as she cleaned. This Hoover SteamVac is a great substitute for that monster vac. This one is much lighter and easier to use, you can see just how much dirt is coming up from your carpet as it sucks up the water. There are no hoses and nozzles to clog with this one, no belts to break and everything disassembles for easy cleaning.As another review pointed out, there are no "bells & whistles" with this model, you have to pay attention to the water level yourself, no "dirt sensors" or headlights, but it doesn't need them. It does a great job at both cleaning and picking up the water and drying the carpet. Anyone who has used the rental machines has probably had the experience of a machine that doesn't suck up enough water and had to deal with wet carpet. Not a problem here with its own heat source, this SteamVac drys the carpet just fine.

Question: What were the sizes?

I am only writing one review on these pans. They are so much easier than the old spring for pans with the clamp on the side. I ordered all three sizes -- the eight, nine, and ten-inch pans. Have used only the ten inch- one and given the eight-inch one to a grand daughter. Still have the nine-inch new in the box. This is absolutely a great product. I bake the cheese cake in it without the foil wrap in the water bath. It does not leak and is SO easy to remove the ring when ready. I'm so glad I "sprung" for it.

Question: For how long was the Roomba operating optimally?

This Roomba was a dream when we first got it, and for about the first year. 3 years in, it still works, but it is louder and requires more thorough cleaning. My husband has taken it apart and cleaned the inside out more deeply than is possible by simply opening the clean-out trap and brushes. I should also mention that we have only used our Roomba on the first floor where we have only laminate wood and tile. We tried on the carpet on our second floor but found that it did not clean well at all. With 2 cats and a labrador retrieves who sheds like crazy, the Roomba keeps dust bunnies and pet fur at bay between weekly vacuuming.

Question: How much does it cost the bottle opener?

OK, who really needs a $12 bottle opener? Well, no one. But, if you are like me and enjoy a great craft beer almost every day, this opener makes your evening ritual just a little nicer. The opener itself is as close to perfect as any opener can be, and for that it deserves a look. It will last forever and when you die, your kids may fight over it. So why not treat yourself to one of life's little pleasures (opening your bottle in style) just before you enjoy one of life's most exquisite pleasures, a great glass of beer!

Question: who arrived?

As soon as the frother arrived, I opened it up, pulled the tab to connect the batteries, washed as instructed, and made some cold chocolate milk.

Probably one of the most delicious glasses I have ever had!Then the next day, I made some white chocolate cocoa. I have a huge plastic mug, so before I put the cocoa in it, I warmed up the milk in a Pyrex measuring cup with the cocoa and after removing from the microwave, frothed the bejeezus outta that cocoa!Since Dunkin' Donuts doesn't sell this delicious concoction anymore, I tried getting as close to it as possible, and the frother is the key!After holding the mug in one hand on my twenty minute commute to work the whole time sipping this decadent beverage, I came back out the car two hours later, to find out that there was foamy, frothy goodness still in the mug!Okay, so I would have given this five stars, but the idea that I can't immerse it in water kind of irks me. I find it a little bit tedious to try to clean it. It feels solid however, so hopefully it will last a long time!

Question: Are there any disadvantges with this pot?

I love going to Shabu Shabu but it can get rather expensive. So I thought, why not bring the shabu to my dinner table? I did so with this pot. It feeds enough for at least 4 people and worked wonderfully. It heats up pretty quick and brings the water to a boil after 5-7 minutes. A bit pricey, but well worth it for the amount of money I will save cooking shabu at home.The ONLY drawback is that it omitts a funny smell while cooking. I rinsed the pot out before hand, but it still had this weird odor that smelled up the kitchen. I've only used it once, so hopefully this is a one time deal. Otherwise, its a good purchase.--------------------UPDATE: 1/10/2013I've used the cooker a handful of times in the past few years and still am satisfied with it. The smell isn't as strong as it originally was, however, there still is a plasticy odor when I heat the cooker up. Besides the smell, it fuctions like it was brand new and looks great.

Question: What about the humidifier is nonexistent?

I was skeptical at first when reading the description but decided to try it out anyways. Let me tell you, it is the smallest and lightest travel humidifier i have ever seen and used. It works like a charm when you are traveling and it sits right next to you on the nightstand in the hotel. Extremely quiet and light, and the footprint of the humidifier is almost nonexistent. However, there is only one small problem, but it can be expected because of it's size and weight. You must be careful not to bump it because it can tip over easily and spill out the water all over the place. Other than that it is perfect and works very well for it's stated purpose.

Question: How does the humidifier work?

I read tons of the reviews on here before purchasing this product. I ended up buying the Owl, and I am in love. I have been using it for 4 days so far and I have had no problems with burning electronics, noise level, it using too much water, etc.I can barely hear it. I think the noise level is on par with our ceiling fan, which runs all year long except in the winter. It produces a nice little stream of cool mist and after the first night of use I woke up without a dry, sore throat and nose. My apartment is so dry I have been getting nose bleeds in the morning from my nose cracking. It has been WONDERFUL! I feel so much better.I was hesitant about buying a $40 humidifier when I could get a Vick's hot steam from Walgreens for $12. I am glad I bought this instead. With the cool steam, I am not worried about my place catching fire from a faulty heating element.I set the dial to about 3/4 the way, and a full gallon of water lasted 3 nights. I have been using high purity water to prevent mineral build up and hopefully this little guy will last me a long time.

Question: What on the front of the box is open at the top and bottom?

These plastic boxes are not bad for storage of various items, but they could be better. Assembly can be a bit irritating, though not really difficult. The plastic on all parts didn't want to bend cleanly, making it a bit fussy to assemble each piece. The slot on the front of each box for labeling is open at the top and bottom, making the labels not stay inside very well. Quite often when I go to these boxes, I'll find their labels lying on the floor. Thankfully, I also used my label printer to put adhesive labels on the lid of each box to indicate their contents. All in all, they're not bad for the price.

Question: How old is the kid in the family?

I received these to try free as part of a blog review. I'd previously received the company's muffin pan which I strongly prefer to the baking cups- it's just easier to clean a whole pan than it is to clean individual cups. That said, if you want/need to use cups, these are GREAT. They're easy to clean, the muffins baked through nice and evenly, and they feel like they'll last a long time.My only concern is that I'd hate to have someone throw them out if I was using them for a birthday party or with younger kids. I have a 2 yr old and I'm not sure he'd know to not throw them out like you throw out the disposable ones- of course, he's 2 yr old so occasionally I have to dig our spoons and forks out of the trash too. Haha.

Question: What room did they put the tv stand?

I love this TV stand. It looks great in my living room with my black leather furniture and my black curtain panels. It has a very modern, sleek look that I find very appealing. This thing was a beast to put together though. There were A LOT of pieces in the box. The assembly instructions are pictures. While I usually prefer this option, there were a couple of photos that required some studying. My husband and I worked on putting it together for a couple of hours the day it arrived and my husband ended up finishing it the next day while I was at work. Even though the assembly was quite a bit of work, I think the finished product was worth it.

Question: What was the condition of the product upon arrival?

I received my desk recently and am pretty pleased with it so far. The real reason I am mainly reviewing this item is because I had read reviews prior to purchasing it where seemingly a lot of customers received the desk in a somewhat damaged condition...I am happy to report that I received the desk in perfect new condition, with no dings or scratches. I am very mechanically challenged and even I could assemble this desk in just under 30 minutes, super easily...Amazon is a very prompt shipper and this desk probably took a day longer than what I had expected, but that was no big deal and it is just as likely that this desk did not really take long.....is just that most Amazon orders ship really really fast.I would totally recommend this desk to a friend who wanted an inexpensive, very attractive desk without all the bells and whistles that tend to take up more space...A very nice buy overall

Question: How long did it last?

We received an EC701 model for our wedding, which died after almost 5 years of daily use. We replaced it with this newer model at half the price. Overall, we love this little machine. I make primarily lattes, so I can't speak for the espresso afficionados, but one of the reasons I love this thing is that it will actually foam milk well, which is hard to find in a machine at this price point. It also looks really good on our counter, which is not unimportant. The water reservoir is very easy to access, which is really convenient given how often we use it. Unfortunately we just had our second machine die after only 18 months of daily use. We will be replacing this one with another of the same, simply because we haven't found anything we like better without spending $500+. We will buy the next one at Bed Bath and Beyond, though, because if it dies after 18 months again, we can just bring it back to the store due to their incredible no-questions-asked return policy. That's worth the little extra it costs through them vs amazon.

Question: Where can this product be found besides Amazon?

I have this rice cooker for about a year now, and I simply love it! The rice cooker can cook enough rice for 4 people at once, which is enough for a single gal like me.It does a pretty good job of keeping the rice warm, also. I can cook a batch of rice for both lunch and dinner.what I really like is the timer - which allows me to wake up to a hot pot of thick soup of rice in the morning.The interior pot is non-stick, but I would recommand you to take care it and wash it by hand. The dish-washer can be kind of harsh for it.I can't believe that Amazon is offering this product. Ususally, you can only purchase it in China town. I have to ask my mother to bring one for me from the other side of the earth!

Question: What popper does the author recommend?

This popper does what its' meant to do. I have yet to experience zero un-popped kernels, but it comes close. The one thing that threw me off is how thin this thing is- extremely cheap materials. Any thinner and it would qualify as tinfoil. It's so thin the bottom dented when accidentally set on the stove top too hard- wasn't a big deal because my finger did a fine job of pushing the dent back out (yes, it's that thin!). The light build along with plastic gears lead me to believe me that the popper isn't going to last very long. Spend the extra $20-30 and get the Lindy's popper.

Question: What else can the bamboo utensils be used for beside travelling?

I like to throw this in my suitcase for when I travel, together with a collapsible bowl and instant oatmeal. That way, I don't have to eat out all my meals when I'm on the road :)The bamboo utensils are super cute, and I liked the fabric wrap thing it came with as well, it's a nice touch and works well to keep the utensils from rolling around in your luggage.The knife is not super sharp (hey, it's made out of wood...!) but I cut a banana with it once and it worked. I don't think you can cut a loaf of bread or something with it, but spreading stuff on bread or cutting something softer, like baked fish, should be fine.I'm not sure I need all the spoons it came with but it's nice to be able to share with a friend, I guess :)So far I've only used it for traveling where I stayed over at hotels/hostels, but I'm sure it'll be equally useful for camping.Overall, I'm very pleased with the product, and I'd definitely purchase again!

Question: Which kitchen item did the user decide to spend less money on?

Recently my husband and I upgraded most of our small appliances and cookware. We opted for the Kitchenaid mixer and Calphalon cookware, and decided to skimp on the blender, figuring a blender is a blender and what difference would it make?It makes a big difference. We bought an Osterizer for dirt cheap at a local kitchen supply store and were not impressed with its capabilities. At this point I thought about buying the Kitchenaid but wanted to wait a little while, since the price was rather more than we wanted to pay for a blender.Around Christmas my husband and I visited back home. His grandparents have the Kitchenaid 5-speed blender. We were quite impressed with its capabilities in making a great mudslide; although there were still tiny ice chips in the drink, the blender did quite well in mixing everything very smoothly and with a minimum amount of noise (for a blender anyway).I was able to find one of these wonderful blenders refurbished through Amazon. Since I had earned a couple of gift certificates through my Amazon Visa card I got this for practically nothing. I must say, this would still be worth it even if I did pay full price. Even though it is refurbished it looks like new, and works great. The past few nights my husband and I have enjoyed the same great mudslides that we had in California, and I'm giving away my old Osterizer.Another impressive thing about this blender is its sturdiness. With the glass and the strong base, I'm not worried about this breaking; I was worried about that with all of the flimsy plastic of the Osterizer. When trying to make smoothies on the Osterizer I always kind of winced, afraid that it might blow up at any second. I don't worry about this with the Kitchenaid; this is very obviously a sound appliance.If you are in a money crunch, it's probably best to wait until Amazon has a refurbished model of this blender available; the only visible difference is it comes in a box that states that the product is refurbished. Also you usually won't have your pick of colors; you'll only be able to choose whatever color they have available. But whatever the price this is a great blender and you won't regret the purchase.By the way, I did A LOT of comparison shopping at other sites before I found the refurbished model here at Amazon; Amazon does have the best price on new models that I found, even without the current rebate that Kitchenaid is offering.

Answer: blender

Recently my husband and I upgraded most of our small appliances and cookware. <hl> We opted for the Kitchenaid mixer and Calphalon cookware, and decided to skimp on the blender , figuring a blender is a blender and what difference would it make?It makes a big difference. <hl> We bought an Osterizer for dirt cheap at a local kitchen supply store and were not impressed with its capabilities. At this point I thought about buying the Kitchenaid but wanted to wait a little while, since the price was rather more than we wanted to pay for a blender. Around Christmas my husband and I visited back home. His grandparents have the Kitchenaid 5-speed blender.

Question: what version did they get?

I rarely gush about an item-but this little machine is fantastic! I kept looking at them for about a year until I saw the remanufactured version on Amazon at a more reasonable price than I had seen elsewhere. First I was pleasantly surprised that they shipped me the "Pet" version of the Spot Bot. Is there a difference between the regular one and this one? I imagine just the color and the cool paw print sticker, but I dig it since they are the main reason for my purchase. I have 3 dogs and a cat. We live on a farm, so lets just say them hurling is an occurence that happens more often than not, and of course usually in the middle of the night when you least want to clean them up. My first test was a couple of stains set in the rugs when we bought the house-used the set in stain setting-and they were gone. Yes, it did leave the clean "crop circle" where the stain was, but I knew I needed to shampoo them anyway. Several nights later-you guessed it-at 4am Riley got ill. I cleaned up the "bulk" of I and just went back to bed trusting my new favorite helper would be successful in the morning. It was. The machine is loud, and the dogs hate the beep at the end of the cycle-but you won't regret the purchase!Does go through cleaner, but I don't care and you won't either...

Question: what appliance is being used to hang these spoons on?

I have had this set for almost a year. They replaced my other set that I had for almost twenty years. I love the different variations of spoons in this set. I use at least two of them every day! These spoons are super long. I wasn't sure I would like the length but I haven't thought twice about it since opening them up. I love how the top part has more of a rubber touch to it. I also love the fact that you can have the ability to hang these spoons. I bought metal hooks and they hang on my refrigerator. Kind of dresses up the kitchen a little. If you do a lot of cooking these are a must have.

Question: What product is being reviewed?

I've been vacillating for a while about one of these machines because, let's face it - they're EXPENSIVE. When I saw the reconditioned one here from Amazon I took a chance because I know Amazon's return policy is excellent.WELL! It's definitely money well-spent!I have several different flooring types - area rugs, vinyl flooring, hardwood, and a particularly miserable burgundy plush. This vacuum handled them all with ease, made that plush look like brand new! I was amazed, well almost EMBARRASSED, when I saw how much dirt and cat hair this thing pulled out of my rugs.It maneuvers fairly easily, emptying it is child's play - I agree the wand is somewhat awkward until you get the hang of it, and the handle is a bit uncomfortable to MY hand to use for any length of time, but overall I still rate it a 5 out of 5 stars. I am planning to purchase the low-reach tool and the soft dusting too!

Question: What is the brand name of the bowls that were bought?

Like many others, I bought two of these bowls to use as cat dishes for wet food! It was pretty funny when I found out that others bought them for the same purpose. I picked this style because the bowls are fairly small, but quite shallow so they're easy for the cats to out from without mussing their whiskers. My mother-in-law was very amused that I bought Fiesta dishes for my cats, but these bowls cost the same as the pet dishes at the pet store and are sturdier, so why not? The bowl is a great size for a 3 oz can of food, but will hold more than that just fine if your cat needs more per meal.Cat purposes aside, these are very nice bowls. I haven't used them personally (using the same dishes as the cats skeeves me out, which is why they have their own to begin with), but they look like they'd be great for small appetizers like bowls of salsa or almonds, side dishes of coleslaw, applesauce, or yogurt, or ice cream. I'll probably buy some more for us humans at some point.

Question: What is their favorite way to use these?

I bought these simply to try and reduce the amount of disposables in my home. I was not thinking of any use for them beyond the obvious of cupcakes and muffins normally baked in paper cups. I am thrilled to report that they work just great for those purposes, and without any greasing or oiling required, but they have also served me well as fudge molds. And my new favorite use is for freezing stock when I make a large batch; impossible to unmold neatly from an unlined muffin tin, and awkward in an ice cube tray, stock frozen in these tidy little cups unmolds cleanly and in the perfect amount to pop out later for a serving of ... whatever you use stock for. I love these, I'm glad I bought two sets, and I may order two more soon.

Question: What colors did they order in?

After too many frustrating times when I needed my smallest cutting board but it was already dirty from something else and I couldn't cross-contaminate things, I ended up ordering two of these 5x7 Architec boards, one in turquoise and one in white.I love the small, convenient size for things like fruit, olives, and cheese, and they are so small that I can just leave a clean one out all the time, ready to be used.The solid grip bottom keeps the board from sliding all over during use, and the grooves on the edge keep most juices produced by cutting from running off the board and onto the counter.I like the 5x7 boards so much that the larger sizes will be first on the list next time I need more cutting boards.

Question: What are mixed?

The Amazon reviews are mixed, and for good reason. Mine arrived with a couple small scratches in the otherwise very cool candy-apple red surface. Oh well. But the really bad news was yet to come. After doing the suggested burn-in (one cycle with no bread - and yep, there really is a noxious odor from that), I set the darkness control to about 4.5 (ranges from 1 to 7). Burnt, completely burnt. So I set it down to 3.5. Burnt again. 2.5 - barely brown. 3 - burnt. And, as other reviews note, it doesn't toast evenly on both sides. One reviewer thought that was great; I think it sucks. I guess Oster is owned by Sunbeam, and who knows who owns them, but these products that are thrown together in China or elsewhere where they pay $.02/hr for labor can hardly be expected to be reliable, can they? Aint the global economy f'in' wonderful?!

Question: How long should be waited for the mattress to expand before sleeping on it??

It is amazing that they can compress the mattress and roll it up for shipping!I bought the mattress to go with a platform bed I found on Amazon, "Atlantic Furniture Richmond Full Bed with Open Foot Rail" for a guest room.The mattress opened up and expanded in a couple of hours. They indicate that you should wait 48 hrs before sleeping on it, however after a day it looks ready to go.I am having guests for the holidays so I will provide an update early next year, however so far so good.*update*Well the holidays are over and family/guests have moved on. Everyone totally enjoyed sleeping on the mattress.While I only had people sleeping on it for a week, they were different people with different physical sizes/ages and medical issues.Again, so far so good.It is now the middle of Feb. and my daughter has requested this mattress for her birthday.My wife and I are very happy with this mattress and highly recommend it.

Question: What feature helps with the balance of this pan?

I read so many reviews on this and other comparable pans. I decided on this one for the price and for the handles. I agree, the handles do help with balance and made it easier to put in or take out of the oven. The glass bottom feature is great...no mess trying to separate the cake from the bottom in order to serve. I just remove the side ring and serve! However, my disappointment would be the difficulty in trying to put the glass bottom back into the ring! I had such a hard time..especially knowing how delicate the glass bottom is. If you do not put the bottom in just right, it will not seal properly resulting in leaks! Unless I am not aware of the proper technique in putting this pan back together, I think it's a shame I had such a hard time. I really had high hopes for this pan. But thanks to the glass bottom, at the end of the day, I didn't have scratches from scrapping the bottom and the pan still looks great.
