Question: What is our relationship when he gived me the gift?

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

Question: What kind of set of pillowcases and sheets was purchased?

I got these for the matching sheet set - these cases, like the sheets, are really soft and for the price, are great! I highly recommend these pillowcases, as well as the same-brand sheets. I know buying online is a bit apprehensive, given that you can't FEEL the fabric to see how soft it is - but trust me - this is a really good sheet / pillowcase maker and I love this set!

Question: what size bag did the review use to send to his sister?

I do like this set of bags very much.the best bags -size Large and Medium. then Extra Large -very good for the bed stuff. Jumbo Cube -too big, I didn t use it.not yet. the vacuum- seal is amaizing. and so fast. but roll-up travel bags I don t like it at all. that is why I rate only 4 stars. when you put the things inside this travel bag ,then you have to roll it.its not easy,the air doesn t go out .and you have to do it for long time to make it look ok and put it in to your suitcase. i send some clothing to my sister,and I used the Medium vacuum-seal flat bags, the size was so small,it was amazing how many things i put in. I think I will buy them again,only this time I will try to find 2 sizes -Large and Medium

Question: One word says how many spares can usually be stored in the TP-Holder?

I have a teensy, tiny bathroom with no convenient wall location on which to mount a TP-Holder. This is the perfection solution to not only holding the roll, but of storing a few spares!I haven't had issue with mine falling over, but we also do not yank the paper with brute force either... the dogs have knocked it over for me, when all three decided to assist me in the tub-scrubbing adventure I was apparently enjoying without them.It is a wonderful solution for the smaller bathroom with no wall space handy!

Question: Is the mattress too soft?

The fact that it came undamaged after being compressed and folded to fit into a rather small box says a lot about the quality of the springs. I bought it to use with this frame http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005WXO984/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 and it fits perfectly.The mattress is firm but not too hard, very comfy. I don't understand what some reviewers are talking about when they say it's so soft that they sink into it. Two adults who weigh about 290lbs in total have been sleeping on it with no complaints.It is very nice for the price so I'm not going to be too picky. The only cons are:1. The underside of the mattress is a few layers of that cheap reusable grocery bag material. It tore a little bit when I tried to drag the mattress to a different room.2. It is heavy and very floppy, so it can be difficult to stand it on it's side and carry down 2 flights of stairs when we move out.Overall a very good purchase.

Question: which unit is quieter?

This brewer is functionally the Platinum B70 Keurig brewer. It accepts the standard K-cups and produces an exceptional single cup of coffee on demand. The Keurig brewing system is easy to use, produces little mess while producing great cups of coffee.This brewer includes the filter system and the reusable My K-Cup that must be purchased with the other systems. The stainless steel exterior and slightly different design is the most visible difference. Internally, this is a better-constructed brewer, less prone to problems with a higher customer rating than the B70 system.Having used both, I find this system to make less noise with a sturdier feel. Controls are about the same. I feel the B70 is slightly easier to filling with water but not so much as to make this a buying decision. If you make one or two cups of coffee a day, go with the B70. If you make six to ten cups of coffee a day, I would consider this machine.

Question: What percentage of use does this cover?

This is a great niche tool which does it's job very well so far. It's easier and faster to use that an vacuum on most surfaces. It handles 80% of of what I used to use my vacuum or dustbuster for. Sometimes you need something smaller or other times you need the power and versatility of a big vac-but I can eally get by just using this most of the time. It doesn't run for hours, probably not as long as a hand vac if you use the roller brush, but frankly I haven't used it that long to find out. I take it out, do whatever small job needs to be downa and I plug it back in to the recharger. No issues so far and i'm very happy with it...

Question: What splatters out of the spout?

I am hoping to send this back, except that I did not save the box! Hopefully, Amazon will accept the return. I was sure I would love it...and I do love the way it looks on my stainless steel stove, but that is about it. When you go to pour boiled water out, the lid will fall off easily and the water splatters all over the place out the spout! I almost got burnt. The spout is very wide and water just bursts out of it. I much prefer the All Clad pot that I replaced this with. Will be returning this one.

Question: Is this item inclined to oxidize?

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

Question: Where is the spinning mechanism?

I own this frother, and it works well with the Nespresso espresso machine. It doesn't warm the milk too hot, which is nice when making a quick cafe latte. I like the spinning mechanism in the frother better than the Keurig, b/c it is easier to clean, and it doesn't burn the milk unlike the Keurig. The spinning mechanism is at the bottom, and it pops out when the frother is done warming up the milk. I originally thought that this was a flaw, but that is how the mechanism works. The spinner magnetically touches the bottom of the frother. Add warm water to clean the frother and it is ready for use again.

Question: Is the item durable?

I bought this because I thought it would be worth it to get the knife block off of the counter. But, on second thought, I've decided to use it on the workbench assembly (ASIN: B00006RGKY) I just bought for screwdrivers.I would say that it's easy to dent. I received mine with a small dent on the top, then managed to put another dent in it since. The perforated surface is a double edged sword, but attractive nonetheless. And it's very strong. Its strength makes me wonder if it's safe for the blade edges of my knives. I've feared banging a knife against it and chipping, which is why I decided to use it in my shop instead.

Question: What was warm to the touch after being plugged in but off for awhile?

I bought this only 2 and half months ago and have used it maybe 4 or 5 times (I mostly only iron when I sew and I have been too busy to sew lately). When I went to use it today it was making some mild clicking type noises that I hadn't noticed in the past. Then I realized it just wasn't ironing so great either. When I looked at the lcd display, I saw that every available option was highlighted, including the pause lights. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it cleared for a brief moment and then went back to doing what it was doing: Very little heat and the display not reading correctly. Clearly I have a faulty iron and I'm majorly disappointed about it. Now I have to try to send the thing back to the company and hope for a repair or replacement. This is definitely one of those times where I wish I had bought this at a local store so I could just return it. Not happy.Oh, and one other thing... when I first got this I left it plugged in but made sure it was turned off. When I came back to it later, I noticed the handle was warm to the touch. The soleplate, however, was cool. I made sure to keep it unplugged from then on.Overall, a VERY untrustworthy product from my perspective.

Question: Does the author find the bags easy to use?

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 knives made the beginning of his collection?

Shun knife's are unbelievably sharp and well made. I started my knife collection with Global, not bad but nothing like Shun. When I was in Sydney, I found a knife ship at the fish market that had a great selection and was introduced to Shun. I've wanted a Santoku and was going to go Global to go with the collection but when I was told about Shun (did some research on the web at my hotel that night), I went back the next day and purchased this knife. It's very, very sharp, keeps an edge much longer than my Global's ever did. If you're looking for the ultimate knife, this is it. Since then, I've picked up a Shun pairing knife which I love as well.

Since then, I've picked up a Shun pairing knife which I love as well.

I started my knife collection with <hl> Global <hl> , not bad but nothing like Shun.


Question: Is there a color requirement for the product?

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: What kind of briquettes should you use?

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: Would the reviewer buy another dispenser?

I really like this dispenser. I didn't use the adhesive it came with. I purchase the 3M strips, water resistant type, instead. I didn't wish something stuck to my shower that if it broke I would chance damaging my shower wall removing it later. This is very easy to install, I just stuck the 3Ms on the back on the flat parts (i used 4) and stuck the mounting bracket to the wall and slid the dispensers on to it. The front part with the clear dispensers slides off the wall bracket so you can clean it easier. The white top is a cover so you can fill it while its on the wall. You need to prime the pump with the first use which takes a bit of time. Don't give up, just keep pressing the button until it dispenses. You can check you progress by removing the dispensers off the bracket and look at the clear valve behind the buttons...you can see if the liquid is making its way through or not. I use think cream rinse and it works fine for me. This is just a really neat item. I'm going to purchase another one for my other shower.

Question: What does the reviewer like about the hangars?

Great price for this many hangers. Take up little space and are light but also break easily with little pressure. Best for light items but a great value if you need a lot of hangers.

Question: What brand of chocolate does not need to be thinned out?

Purchased as a replacement for another unit of a different brand that stopped working. While the unit is well made and works perfectly, it's a bit large. It will take all of 4 lbs of chocolate to get this flowing properly and I suggest you have another couple of pounds on hand to replenish during a party. You can use any type of chocolate, but all chocolate will need to be melted first. Some regular chocolates, Hershey, Godiva, Ghirardelli and the like will need to be thinned out with vegetable oil. The Wilton Pro chocolate can be used without adding oil. I had to play with it a bit to get the perfect flow. Better to add oil slowly and in small increments. Too thin and it won't flow. Same for too thick. Clean up was a bit of a pain, but what do you expect. It's a great feature for any type of gathering. Be sure to have plenty of fruit, pretzels, cookies and other "stuff" to dip or your guests will be dipping their fingers!

Question: What two type of scales were compared?

I was searching all over the place for an extremely accurate scale and finally settled on this one. Now that I've owned it for almost 3 years, I can confirm that it's extremely durable and totally accurate. I've done comparisons with very expensive laboratory and M.D. scales, and have found this one to be right on the money. I even use it to weigh my cat just before bringing him to the vet. His weight at the vet is always the same as what I measure on this scale. This is a solid, heavy weight and sturdy scale, and certainly much better than anything else I've used in the past. When they say precision, that's exactly what they mean, right down to a tenth of a pound. You won't be dissatisfied if you purchase this scale. I give it 5 big stars.

Question: What color is the comforter?

From the picture on the web, thought the color was a soft pink/peach but it's actually khaki. Wish Amazon would have simply described it as KHAKI so it's clear what the color is -- and then I would have given it 4 stars. (What IS "terragon"? The spice is spelled differently.) Yes, it's the dimensions stated and not very poofy. The fabric is different on each side. I bought it as a gift for a little girl for her small bed, for in the car, for watching TV, etc. The material is stiff but looks like it might soften in the wash, and if a kid is using it, it will be washed frequently, so that's fine by me. Pink would have been cuter, but khaki's not so bad. If you want a big poofy down comforter, this is not what you are looking for. Would be a great modern version of the lap blanket for someone in a wheelchair.

Question: What kind of reviews put the buyer off?

After reading several of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam, but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using the oven for a few weeks, I can earnestly say that we are very happy with the decision. The oven is solid, great looking and cooks very well in all modes, particularly SuperSteam, which we use most of the time, for just about everything except bread, which browns better with convection.Last week, we even purchased a second SuperSteam for our vacation house.

Question: Does the vacuum use bags?

I love my Dyson. It's easy to empty and does a great job on the dog hair. You can see when the canister gets full. The only thing I don't really like is the way the tool attachments work. There is a pull out tube is used with the attachments (there are all the standard extras). It's kind of difficult to extend the hose although you can completely remove the long metal tube and use it without that. It can be a little clunky on the steps but the ease on the rest of the floor more than makes up for it.

Question: What prevents dirtying the scale?

This scale is great. Quick, sleek, responsive. The TARE function is mandatory so you dont have to dirty the scale.One downside - the On/Off/Tare button; within 48 hours, the ink used to label the button has WORN OFF! The functionality of the scale has NOT been impacted, and I know its the on off button (theres only 2 buttons on the whole machine) but still, I was surprised the ink faded so quickly...

Question: What kind of meats does the author make on the mat?

Every kitchen needs at least one silicone baking mat. Food comes of easily, it fits my pans perfectly, and clean up is a dream. A little soapy water, a quick rinse, and it's perfect! I've used it for cookies, biscuits, sticky marinated meats, and everything has cooked perfectly, come off easy, and clean up was a snap! I love it. Definitely considering adding more to my kitchen tools (seriously - who doesn't love something that makes their lives *easier*???) and will be gifting to friends and family!

Question: What food do they scramble in the pan?

When I first got this pan I thought it was a little heavy, but after using it...love it. I have been able to saute onions and potatoes to a flavorful brown, scramble eggs to perfection, cook pork chops and the pan still cleans up so easy.I also like the responsiveness to heat...it takes temp changes well..heating up and cooling off pretty fast. The shape is good with that nice little flair and deep enough to do a lot more than omelets. A plus is that my Calphalon lids fit - both the glass 10" and the stainless lid.At this price this pan is a bargain. And of course I love that free shipping and good customer service of Amazon.

Question: This pillow doesn't put what to sleep?

Finally - the right pillow for me! This pillow has lasted well over two years and is still in great shape. I just ordered another to support my hip. I have fibromyalgia, neck problems, sciatica, and hot flashes. I've tried so many pillows. Miracle foam pillows are too firm for my neck. Shaped pillows don't accommodate my stomach sleeping position. Regular pillows are too soft or flatten out quickly. Water pillows are comfortable but too heavy when making the bed. This pillow seems to be the perfect thickness, is supportive, and doesn't put my arm to sleep when I slip it under the pillow. One drawback is it is a little heavier than most pillows, although not as heavy as a water pillow. Also, when I have a hot flash, my face burns up and eventually warms up the pillow. However, if I turn the pillow, I again have a nice cool surface (not cold).

Question: What product was needed for the kitchen?

For the price there are no complaints from me. I did a little research and concluded on this product. I needed a simple cutting board for the kitchen and that's exactly what I receieved. It has stood up to the dishwasher and all the punishment I've put it through. Having said that, this board is only 12x8" so don't expect something that's going to cover half your counter because it most certainly won't. It's a nice product for the smaller cooking tasks and thus far seems to be worth the little amount of money I had to spend on it in the first place.

Question: Where was the ice pack left for a few hours?

I bought this not for my kid's lunch, but as an ice pack for my head. After a long day at work, I'm often rewarded with a dull yet nagging headache. I don't like to take Tylenol unless it REALLY hurts, and wanted an ice pack that was not so gigantic or bulky. This ice pack is the perfect size for my adult head. It is sweat free too, as well as light. I simply apply to center of my forehead and it starts working. I can simply toss it back in the freezer when I'm done and hand wash the cover as needed. So nice. I know this isn't marketed as a headache pack, but it really works well as one. It isn't too cold either, since the material is pretty thick. Just nice soothing coolness. The pack stays frozen for a few hours; I left it on the coffee table for a few hours and when I came back it was still mostly solid and still cold...so I guess it would be good for lunch boxes too.

Question: Why did the author buy this device?

I was expecting a little more out of this device than what I got, but it does work. I purchased this to help spread butter flavoring on popcorn. I can fill it up and spray the popcorn then sift a little extra flavoring and it works great. There are two areas in which I would really like to see this device improve...1. It seems silly to only be able to use half the bottle for product. Leaving very little space for the product meaning that you have to refill it pretty regularly.2. Not much pressure generated. While this does work I basically have to pump it a good 10x or so for each spray, which is bordering on too much work to make it useful.I'm not sure what it would take to resolve these two issues, but I removed a star for each of these.

Question: what brand of product is the user reviewing?

I have a decent number of Umbra products, so I already knew these weren't some solid metal bird holders. That said, they still feel quite cheap and light for hanger/hooks. For the most part, I think you can only use these as decor. When I try to hang coats on them, the bird is too shallow to securely hold a jacket or something thicker than a dog leash. If you do get something to hang off of it, the plastic is really light and will kind of jump up when you grab your coat if it is not super securely fastened onto your wall as flush as possible. My next problem is with the key magnet. The magnet is strong enough for a keychain with maybe 3 keys and nothing else. If you have any extra doodads or more keys, it probably won't be able to hold it and the magnet usually just pops right out along with your keys. This is not a well-designed hook or key holder, and it's not really cute enough to be this impractical either, so it gets 2 stars. I don't recommend.

Question: What is the result of smaller ice cubes?

Believe it or not. When you put water in these trays, and put them in your freezer, after a couple of hours, providing your freezer is cold enough, you will get ice cubes from these trays. I mean, what more are you expecting? I use these to supplement the ice-maker on my freezer. I bought a new $3,000 unit with the slim line ice maker in the door. You know, the kind that does not protrude into the freezer section. Well, let me tell you what the trade off is. The ice maker unit is smaller to fit in the door. Does not make as much ice as the full size units. And the size of the cubes are smaller, so you end up with the ice cubes melting faster than larger ones. So I use these trays to fill up my glasses when I want the ice cubes to last longer. And for that chore, these trays work fine.

Question: What pillows am I going to order?

I thought I'd save some money by ordering a pair of these rather than the real deal (i.e. the original and expensive Temperpedic pillows). Big mistake.Anyone can apparently claim they use memory foam. I'm not sure what the true definition is, but you know it when you see it, and you feel it when you feel it. These pillows-- even in the plush design-- are hard as a rock. They are Chinese and have a funky smell.I'm going to bite the bullet and order more real Temperpedic pillows. They are expensive, but I actually think they are worth it. It's not worth having a bad night's sleep.

Question: What suggestion does the person give when transporting the tray to the freezer?

So, I bought this mold, to use as an ice cube tray. Also to mould some fondant for my son's lego birthday cake. So far I've only used it as an ice cube tray. The ice comes out looking like legos, but what I don't like is that the tray is very flimsy silicone. I'm comparing it to the ikea silicone trays, and ikea's are more sturdy. This is VERY flimsy, the water was falling as I transferred it to the freezer. I still love it because the ice comes out looking like legos, and my son loves it as well. But I would suggest putting it on top of a tray while filling and transferring to the freezer

Question: What happens when you cut the pizza

When you cut the pizza, grease from the cheese soaks into the stone. I had some burnt on cheese and sauce so I followed someones advice on this site and used bon ami. The stone looked perfectly clean but had some darker spots in the glaze that I assumed was just from being used at high heat. The next time I used it orange grease seeped out of those darker spots, yum bon ami flavored grease. I ended up buffing as much as possible off the hot stone and then putting a thick layer of cornmeal on the stone since my family was eagerly awaiting their dinner, but I wasn't happy. Basically this glaze does absorb so don't clean it with anything you wouldn't want to later eat.

Question: What was the product being reviewed?

I did not like this product. I tried to use it to cover all of the shelves and drawers in my kitchen and thought it was not very good quality, difficult to cut, and impossible to clean.Instead I recommend the Duck non-adhesive shelf liner.CONS:- very difficult to cut, especially because of the ridges- IMPOSSIBLE to clean, because of the ridges- small items are unbalanced on top of the surface because of the ridges (the ridges are definitely a negative theme here!)- hard to lay fully flat, too stiffI do not recommend. At least look for something without the ridges and that is not so stiff!

Question: What works well for most every pie?

Ordered this in time for Thanksgiving. What a great invention! Works very well for most every pie. It won't slice a small pie all the way but I used it to mark the slices for the Marie Callander frozen pumpkin and pecan pie so everyone got the same size slice of pie. The homemade mince/apple pie cut perfectly and I left the slicer in place to separate the pieces and keep the filling in place. Some of the best things about this pie slicer are the clean up and storage, and the ability to slice the pie in 6 or 8 slices. The storage box is small enough to tuck away without taking much cabinet space. A must for every hostess.UPDATE! I love it even more. We took a small frozen pie out of it's 8" aluminum foil pan and let it thaw in a regular size pie dish that the slicer fit in and voila; perfect pie slices.December 1, 2012 update. Still love this pie slicer. It IS collapsible, if the cutter blades are hard to remove be sure you have unscrewed the red top from the white, or use a rubber gripper to get a better grip on the cutters. If you are baking a frozen pie that is 8 inches, put it in a 9 pie plate to bake or do what I do; mark the top of the pie by gently pushing the the cutter into the top of the pie to make cutting guide lines. I had four pies at Thanksgiving and I marked the pies with the cutter so all the pieces were even. I love this pie cutter and use it all the time. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores in a small space and collapsible.

Question: How long is it suggested to take the breads out of the breadbox for, daily?

This breadbox is sturdy and well-made. The top rolls easily and it truly is "fingerprint-proof". It is large enough to hold two bakery loaves and, if the loaves aren't too big, some pastries in addition.The lovely bread we buy from our local baker comes in white paper bags. Before I bought this breadbox, we stuffed each paper-bagged loaf into a 2-gallon zip-loc; otherwise the bread would dry out and turn rock-hard in a day. These loaves sat in an ugly pile on our countertop, since we have no room in our cabinets for bread storage.Now we have this attractive bread box - no more unsightly bags of bread on our countertop! Even better, the breadbox keeps our bread fresh for several days without needing to double-bag in zip-locs!Because the paper bags become a bit damp in the breadbox, I usually take the loaves out (leaving them in their individual bags) and set them on the counter to "air out" for about 15 minutes each day . I have found that "airing" the loaves helps prevent mold, which can be a problem if the bread is not consumed rapidly enough.If you need a place to store your bread and keep it fresh, I highly recommend this attractive and useful breadbox.

Question: What is the author's suggestion on buying the cooking top?

We have a convection cooktop that I love. I got this for when we are cooking for a big crowd, need something portable or I am doing canning/pressure canning. With the pressure canning, the weight of the filled canner makes me not want to risk my cooktop per the canner's instruction.This burner is big! The rings shown on the top are spprox. 9" in diameter. Width-wise the flat surface is about 12". From front to back, the flat surface is approx. 10". The silver colored base extends a tad further all the way around and provides a very solid support.I cook in cast iron and Le Creuset cookware. This cooktop brings water to a boil rapidly and adjusts temperature quickly(just beware that cast iron/dipped iron holds heat so won't cool down as quickly as other induction-compatible cookware).I have no problem fitting my largest skillet, full sized le Creuset stockpot (20 quart) or pressure canner on this burner.I'd give it one more star if it wasn't so loud. It has a fan that is pretty noticeably loud(to be expected I guess) but also the controls to turn the heat up or down can be heard at the other end of the house. Could be a plus or minus for some, for us- I'd prefer something a little quieter.Great cooktop for the price and we use it almost everyday for something and it has been a workhorse. Def. recommend.

Question: Does the heat disperse evenly while cooking?

This is the standard by which grill and griddle pans should be measured. This is my third stove-top grill/griddle, and I think this one will probably last me until the day I die.It's made of extremely heavy cast iron, comes pre-seasoned from the factory, and is a dream to use on my electric range. It heats very evenly, although you need to give it time....something this heavy takes a while to heat.Clean up is a breeze. Just grab a stiff nylon brush, and scrub it underneath some hot water (no soap or detergent please). If you have some heavy food accumulation, just heat it with some water on the surface, let it come to a boil, and then scrub. It's gone in a jiffy. Finish by drying with a paper towel and wiping the cooking surface with a bit of oil. It's ready for next time.The only con I can see is that it may be a bit heavy to handle for someone who is delicate. As another reviewer said, I would hate to drop it on my foot! Other than that, it's perfect, easily the best pan of this type I have had the pleasure of using.
