Question: What kind of milk gets the best froth?

Answer: cold

Mr. Coffee has outdone themselves with this coffee maker. It's important that you read the instructions and especially important that you prime the unit before you use it. Anyway, I've given this maker a good run creating all sorts of coffees. I've tried different grinds and types of beans, all with excellent results. The unit itself is primarily plastic but everything fits nicely. I have only one concern with the obvious connection made between the main unit and the milk frother. It is a bit tough pushing it in and later removing it. Only time will tell how well it really is. However the coffees you create using this maker is as good, if not better than what you can get out. Take your time to learn it, care for it and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I had originally put this on my Amazon Wishlist and was surprised when I received it as a Christmas present. I had it up and running the day after Christmas and have been happy ever since. <hl> One last hint.... Remember to use cold milk to get the best froth !! <hl>

Question: This flatware set contains what kind of knives?

I found this to be a very nice, fairly light set of flatware that's standard in design, enabling you mix them in with just about any existing silverware of dinnerware patterns you have.In the box you'll find four of the following: butter knives (aka dinner knife), dinner forks, salad forks, soup spoons, and tea spoons, for a total of twenty pieces. Each piece has a dotted pattern that runs up the handle, terminating at the head of the utensil. Rachel's name appears on the blade of the butter knife and the backs of the other utensils. That may be an issue for some people, but I don't mind it.While each piece of flatware is made of stainless steel and claims dishwasher safe, after about the third or fourth washing, I found a noticable bend in three out of the four larger fork prongs. The middle prongs were bent slightly forward. These were run through the normal wash cycle each time; they weren't crowded in the silverware basket; nor did the other forks from mixed sets bend. I'm curious if anyone else has run into this.

I live at approximately 4600 ft in altitude and have been working on perfecting the perfect loaves of french bread, hoagies, white bread and artisian. I will definately continue utilizing this pan, and if you do, you will like it as much as I do.. just used water after the rolls baked, no soap.. it was perfect.. as the dough did not seep through the holes, and i did not use parchment paper at all..

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.

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 <hl> 6 or 8 <hl> 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: What tucks away without taking much cabinet space?

Question: What is expensive?

This is the best vacuum I've ever owned (and I've owned many).I have had it for over 5 months now and it is as good as the day I bought it. It is expensive, but from what I've heard from others who own it, it will last for years to come. Not an eyesore either. I keep it out most of the time, because it isn't an ugly looking machine, and it's handy to use whenever I need to. We had a rug that we were going to throw out because it was so old looking and our pets (2 cats and a dog) had shed on it for years. Needless to say, we ran the Dyson over it and we no longer wish to throw it away. It could do with a shampoo, but all the hair and dirt has been taken out after just using Dyson once on it. I used to vacuum this thing repeatedly with my other vacuums and it never felt clean. If you have the money to invest, do it!

Question: How were the items shipped?

I ordered 2 springforms and a metal gingerbread house mold together.I received them yesterday.Unfortunately, Amazon packed all of them together in the same box without any protection to separate them.From the scratches on the springforms,I could tell how much they bumped against each other during the delivery.(springforms were naked without any bag wrapped.)Maybe bumped against the gingerbread house mold, too!(Thinking of how heavy the mold was, and it was only wrapped in its thin plastic bag.)If the springforms are stainless steel pans, then scratches are ok.Since they're NONSTICK coated, it is very important to protect the nonstick coating!I ordered many times from Amazon before, very upset at what I saw this time.I have to say I'm very disappointed at how Amazon handled and packed my order this time!!!

Question: What was the main reason to select the mandolin?

Having researched numerous different mandolins for sale at Amazon, I chose this one due to a combination of factors: customer satisfaction, manufacturer reputation, and cost. My experiences (and my wallet) tell me I have made the right choice. This mandolin is not so sharp as the ceramic ones, but considering how little need I have of a mandolin, the price was definitely right over one of those. (And really, who wants an el-cheapeaux ceramic-bladed item? Not moi, to be sure!) This mandolin has dutifully sliced onions, tomatoes, ginger, daikon, etc. and is still going strong - and I love just tossing it into the dishwasher (in the 'lock' position, of course) when I'm done.

We couldn't ask for more. This Wok greatly exceeded our expectations. Priced right, works exceedingly well, cleans up very easily. We place it on our stove top so it'll be under our exhaust hood. I handle the spatter screen so my wife can concentrate on the important work. Do follow the directions and let it warm-up well before placing food. Cleanup is a snap. Though they say it is dishwasher safe there is no need. It comes apart in two pieces to be easily washed in the kitchen sink - totally submersible, even the base. Every now and then even the blind hog gets an ear of corn and we sure got lucky with this purchase.

Question: Does the item need to be attached to something?

These can be used with and without attaching them to the dogs. Obviously if you attach them they are more secure, but they work fine for painting and finishing if you just put them under the work on a counter top. I like the fact that they hold the work with minimum contact with it. This helps when I am finishing both sides and I have the work flat on a work table. If you use them with the dogs they just snap on and off. I guess there are other ways to get the job done and these are just a convenience.

Question: Does it take a long time to grind coffee?

I've owned 4 burr grinders over the years. A manual, pioneer-style grinder, an inexpensive Braun burr grinder, a very expensive Rancilio Rocky doserless grinder, and this - The Bodum Bistro (mine is orange).My Rancilio was my favorite, but it's strictly for grinding straight into a portafilter for espresso. My manual grinder provides the best results, but it takes 3 minutes to grind your coffee each morning. The Braun was very inexpensive (about $35) and was OK, much better than the pulse grinders that give you grounds of all different sizes (not what you want).So, how do I like the Bodum Bistro. Well, I love it but I just can't give it five stars, because it's not the ultimate coffee grinder.What it is though is a very well designed, legitimate coffee grinder that makes my mornings very efficient. You set the grind, and you set how long you want to grind and these settings remain, so when you want to grind your beans, you simply depress one button and it takes care of it. It's fairly loud, but it takes only about 10 seconds so it's not too bad. One major advantage of this device is that it employs a glass hopper, instead of Plastic. It's easy to clean, and it doesn't have the static problem you get with plastic hoppers.I also like the size of this device. It's quite small, but the hopper is relatively large.All in all I think they really put some thought into this product. I've been using mine for over a year and I have no intention of replacing it any time soon.Note - I use this to grind for a one-cup Mellita pourover that uses #2 paper filters. I get a good balance between speed (takes 3 minutes between grinding and taking my first sip (my water is already at 208 thanks to my Japanese hot water pot that keeps hot water ready at all times.)Pros-Relatively inexpensiveSmall footprintGlass hopper for the ground coffeeLarge hopper for the whole beansTimed grind for convenience, simplicity and consistencyNo need to hold a button while grinding. Just push once and you're goodMuch better results than with a blade grinderCons-Result not quite as good as manual grinder (but better than many other grinders under $300)Recommendation - If you currently use a blade grinder, do yourself a favor and move up to a burr grinder. It makes an enormous difference. This is a very good one.
