Question: What reason did the auhtore think that the blanket was not working?

Answer: blanket is defective

I purchased this blanket for my 93 year old mother. She's always had one and I thought this would be a 'safe' blanket for her as it turns off automatically should she forget to do so herself. Well, she had it on the lowest setting and it got so hot that her skin was all red. She double checked to be sure it was on the lowest setting and it was! She quickly unplugged it and it's off her bed now. Her skin is still sensitive because of this blanket. It could have been worse - I'm thankful it was not!Thank you Amazon for helping in this matter. <hl> I do believe this blanket is defective . <hl> My mother has always had an electric blanket on her bed, but the one she had was getting old and I thought a new one would be better. Boy, was I wrong! I'm only writing this review because I think anyone thinking of purchasing this blanket may want to be aware of a possible problem. Again, Amazon was amazing in their response to this problem.

Question: What does the French Press work superbly?

At a reasonable cost, one can determine if using a French Press is at all appealing. The unit, though possibly effective, seems flimsy for long-term use. But, after finding a congenial grind which takes some time, one might then wish to "graduate" to a more expensive (and clearly superior and durable) press.UPDATE: Pitted against "conventional" Cuisinart and Gevalia 12 cup coffee machines, and using brown filters, the equivalent density of coffee from the press is totally unacceptable to my taste. Exceedingly mild and flat in flavour. However it does superbly with loose tea. Also, it should be noted that a 33 ounce capacity yields about 4 standard cups, not 8.

Question: What size is the cooktop?

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: How often does the author make Cream of Wheat?

I make Cream of Wheat about once a week (more if I'm sick) and it requires a whisk to stir it into the boiling water so it doesn't lump together. Having non-stick pots, meant I was using a large non metal spoon which left lumps in my Cream of Wheat. This whisk is perfect. No scratches on pot and mixes well, no lumps. It also washes up nicely in the dishwasher. I like this so much, I would buy it to be included with a kitchen themed gift (think bridal showers or weddings).

Question: What do Easter Island people call sculptures?

April 2012:I've enjoyed owning this item for years. I mounted it on a 1" thick frame on the wall. The frame has a cutout which fits a `standard' tissue box - it looks like a picture frame. The tiki box is mounted to the frame using a 2-inch' brass hinge at the top - had to drill holes in top of the box to fasten the hinge with small bolts/nuts. When `closed,' the box covers the cutout which is holding the tissue box. Works well, looks good. I painted the frame a dark off-green to go with the color of the face, which is called a 'Moai,' (sculpture) by the Easter Island people. Great conversation piece!

I painted the frame a dark off-green to go with the color of the face, which is called a '<hl> Moai <hl>,' (sculpture) by the Easter Island people. Great conversation piece!

Question: What type of hinge is mounted to the tiki box and the frame?

Answer: 2-inch' brass hinge

Question: What was the brand name of the food processor purchased?

Purchased this from big warehouse store. I had it for several months before actually using it. I have a big food processor and a very small one, but decided I would like one that was mid-sized. Who has not heard of Cuisinart, so I was excited to see this at such a good price with the good reputation of the Cuisinart brand. How disappointing.Out of the box, the plastic base was so lightweight, I felt I had to keep my hand on the base when I put in food so it would not topple over. Even my cheaper tiny chopper felt more substantial than this piece of junk. Let me tell you, I could deal with the lightweight construction, IF it performed well, but it doesn't. Instead of chopping or grinding my food, it pulverized it into mush. There are two options on this machine, Chop and Grind which are controlled by your touch. You can press continuously or pulse the buttons.The box talks about this processor handling chopping, mixing, grinding, pureeing and emulsifying. I think it skipped the first two tasks and went straight to pureeing. The first thing I tried was bell pepper, which I cut into 1 1/2 to 2" pieces. I pressed chopped a few times and in a few seconds I had bell pepper mush. I had to take it out, put it into a towel and squeeze all the liquid out. I had bell pepper soup. I will admit, I did not read the instructions the first go round since I figure a food processor was self explanatory.My next attempt, I read the instructions...maybe I was doing something wrong. The instructions say to "cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size - about 1/2" to a side..." WHAT?! Half an inch!!! If I chopped it to that small of a size, I might as well finish the chop by hand and not even use a processor. Anyway, I decided to follow the instructions and tried again with red bell pepper. Same problem. Pulverized to a liquid...would be a good juicer, but that is not why I bought this product! I decided to try one more time with onions. That's an easy one that I did all the time with both my small and large food processor. I tried both the Chop option and the Grind option with two different onion sessions. Even though the instruction book says Chop is for chopping "soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic.." Even with pulsing, it pulverized the onions and did not chop it to a fine consistency, again I had to squeeze out all the juice. Grind actually worked better when I pulsed it, even though the booklet says it is for "grinding spices and for chopping hard food such as seeds, nuts and chocolate."I have not tried using this for anything hard, most of what I want chopped is considered "soft", but I would definitely not recommend this product, unless you do a lot of pureeing and emulsifying. For chopping and mixing, I give it a 0 (zero) and for pureeing and emulsifying, I'd give it a 3.5. Points taken off because of the cheap base and the need to initially chop items to 1/2". It gets a 1 star because I wanted to use it like a process a medium capacity of food. It did not function in this capacity.

That's an easy one that I did all the time with both my small and large food processor. I tried both the Chop option and the Grind option with two different onion sessions. Even though the instruction book says Chop is for chopping "soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic.." Even with pulsing, it pulverized the onions and did not chop it to a fine consistency, again I had to squeeze out all the juice. Grind actually worked better when I pulsed it, even though the booklet says it is for "grinding spices and for chopping hard food such as seeds, nuts and chocolate."I have not tried using this for anything hard, most of what I want chopped is considered "soft", but I would definitely not recommend this product, unless you do a lot of pureeing and emulsifying. For chopping and mixing, I give it a 0 (zero) and for pureeing and emulsifying, I'd give it a <hl> 3.5 <hl>. Points taken off because of the cheap base and the need to initially chop items to 1/2". It gets a 1 star because I wanted to use it like a process a medium capacity of food. It did not function in this capacity.

Question: Which vegetable did the reviewer try to chop up first?

Answer: bell pepper

Purchased this from big warehouse store. I had it for several months before actually using it. I have a big food processor and a very small one, but decided I would like one that was mid-sized. Who has not heard of Cuisinart, so I was excited to see this at such a good price with the good reputation of the Cuisinart brand. How disappointing. Out of the box, the plastic base was so lightweight, I felt I had to keep my hand on the base when I put in food so it would not topple over. Even my cheaper tiny chopper felt more substantial than this piece of junk. Let me tell you, I could deal with the lightweight construction, IF it performed well, but it doesn't. Instead of chopping or grinding my food, it pulverized it into mush. There are two options on this machine, Chop and Grind which are controlled by your touch. You can press continuously or pulse the buttons. The box talks about this processor handling chopping, mixing, grinding, pureeing and emulsifying. I think it skipped the first two tasks and went straight to pureeing. <hl> The first thing I tried was bell pepper , which I cut into 1 1/2 to 2" pieces. <hl> I pressed chopped a few times and in a few seconds I had bell pepper mush. I had to take it out, put it into a towel and squeeze all the liquid out. I had bell pepper soup. I will admit, I did not read the instructions the first go round since I figure a food processor was self explanatory. My next attempt, I read the instructions...maybe I was doing something wrong. The instructions say to "cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size - about 1/2" to a side..." WHAT?! Half an inch!!! If I chopped it to that small of a size, I might as well finish the chop by hand and not even use a processor. Anyway, I decided to follow the instructions and tried again with red bell pepper.

Question: What did the reviewer use to grease the pan?

the seasonsed surface worked perfectly for me 1st time. Followed directions, greased the pan with a little butter applied wtih a silicone pastr brush. No problems. Got lazy & didn't worry too much about greasing & just added a spec of butter when they started to release not quite as cleanly. Worked very well. Perhaps the secre it getting the pan to the right temp? I used various fillings after testing wtih afew plain ones just in case - jam, apple pieces, apple sauce, choc chips - all worked well. Woudl recommend this pan to anyone.

Question: What was the original purpose for the bin?

As you surely realize, this is a handy bin for storing bathroom sundries. It'll hold maybe six shampoo bottles, depending, of course, on how large your shampoo bottles are. I'm actually going to use mine to hold cleaning supplies, 'cause I always worry about them leaking a little bit and damaging my lovely wood vanity.This is rigid, and just a little bit flexible. And as indicated in the pictures, it has a glossy finish. It came wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent scuffing. The label on the bottom says that it's made in USA. It does not appear to be made of recyclable plastic.For clutter control, it seems like a perfect little thing for under the sink, and I imagine I'm going to get hooked on it and getting more of them. I love that they come in a variety of colors, and just wish they were a little bit less expensive.

Question: What are gangbusters?

I love having one of these every evening, since I crave sweets and this is a good way to get my "fix' in a healthy, low-calorie way. I used to go through commercial fruit juice pops like gangbusters, but that can get expensive if you don't stock up during sales. Plus, they contain sugar. Now I can concoct new recipes to my heart's delight. Right now, I have blueberry lemonade sweetened a bit with organic maple syrup. To die for! Just set them in a glass of water for a few minutes and they slide right out. Yummy!

Question: What should you do to this coffee maker before you use it?

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. One last hint.... Remember to use cold milk to get the best froth !!
