Question: What makes entering information on the device easier?

This is a cool little cooking option if you have enough space in your kitchen to hook it up. It seems perfect to me for someone who wants to find out what it's like to cook with an induction stovetop without having to redo their whole kitchen. Our kitchen is a little small so there's not too much space to use it (but that's the fault of our kitchen not the product).I didn't find it to be any different (cooking-wise, speed-wise) than using a regular cooktop but it has the added bonus of being safer and using less energy. The touchscreen is really easy to understand and use and makes using this thing easier.The skillet that came with it is also great (but I'm not cookware snob so I probably wouldn't know "good" from "great" or just "okay").I really love using this product and have used it several times just for the fun of it, but you do kind of have to plan ahead to clear out some space for it if you want to use it. Also seems like it would be convenient for camping (if you had an electrical outlet).

Question: How many times will you need to empty the collection canister?

Well, I just finished the first pass of my home with this new Bissell. All I can say is I was AMAZED at what this machine pulled out of my carpets. Now, granted the fact that my Kenmore died about a month ago and I have been just getting by with an old Hoover Canister; however, this thing would suck the kernels off an ear of corn. Fantastic power & relatively quiet for all it does. Yes, be prepared to empty the collection canister frequently, but just looking in it will give you an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. It may also convince you that you are not going to make the cover of Good Housekeeping. Does a number on pet hair and my carpets almost look like they were shampooed. The Red/Green light is actually a cool gadget and pretty effective. I assume that my next pass around the house will not yield the same amount of dirt now that I am in "Green Light" status.Bottom-line: You cannot beat the quality & performance of this vacuum for this price.

Question: What vegetables do they add to everything?

I got this because, being a Southern cook, I put chopped onions, peppers and celery in nearly everything. I thought this could save me some time, but it really doesn't at all.You can only chop such very small amounts (has to fit in the plastic bottom part) and it can't get though pepper and onion skin. They just get caught up in the blades and make a mess.By the time I have chopped a single onion, my hand and forearm are numb from banging on it.I gave it 2 stars, because it is good for mincing garlic and chopping dried fruit and nuts. They have the right density and moisture content for this kind of chopping I guess.

Question: How long did the recipe take?

Ten stars would not be enough praise for this cooking pot. I have had a lot of cookware. Expensive no stick that was absolutely useless. This is amazing. I wasn't sure about seasoning this pan but I asked here on Amazon and Pam said she just sprayed with a little Pam. She was right. I seared a pot roast, removed it ,deglazed with wine,softened some onions and garlic put it back in with some mushroom soup and put the lid on. The recipe was for 3 and a half hours. The roast (lid on) took a little over 2 hours and was fork tender. Cleaning was as simple as a sponge with a little Dawn. Wow. I've never had a pot that cleans this easily and cooks this fast. I will get the 5 1/2 qt next month and I'm looking at the saucier pan. I love the colors. This will never go in the dishwasher. I will always hand wash this which is not my usual move.(nails and all). It's a cooking pot of a lifetime and a gift of quality.

Question: The author says not to wake up what?

Unless it's impossible to figure out the equation- that'd be up to the great mathematicians and scientists to discover! This drinking glass is perfect for all the dorky, uncool cup drinkers out there... of which I may categorize myself as! Nah I'm not one of those I'm afraid- I just like drinking out of a pretty nifty cup. However it really would be interesting if these aren't just random numbers and letters around the outside of the cup and there was an actual solution that was really cleverly disguised. We can all dream that there is one, haha. A must buy for breakfast but, please, don't wake up *too* early.

Question: what does the sanitizing feel like?

I was very excited to try out this vacuum. For the most part it does well, but I have a few concerns:1. The cord is too short. Most vacuums allow me to plug in the middle of the house and do most of the house. This one does not.2. I hadn't had a canister vacuum for years. Now I know why. This would have been a much better vacuum as an upright.3. I don't like the sanitizing. It feels like nothing is happening. I don't know how you would know if you went over it enough or not.4. The dirt cup is not very big. We have a lot of dog hair, and while it picked it up great, I was always emptying the cup.It picks up well and isn't too loud. I just wish at least the cord was longer and the dirt cup was bigger, if they didn't make it an upright.

Question: Why wouldn't the reviewer put sugar or flour in the product?

I really like these, I ordered them in red. The color in the picture is very true to life. I am very happy with them. The only not so good thing is the rubber seal on the lids. I personally am using them for decoration and to put miscellaneous things inside them, I wouldn't put sugar or flour in them because the rubber seals are not that great, I actually removed them so I can open and close them easier. So if you're looking for a place to store sugar, flour etc., I wouldn't recommend them, but for decoration and to store odds and ends they are perfect.

Question: what hasn't the author tried

i purchased this for cooking pizzas when we go RVing. i use a camp chef stove and recently purchased their pizza oven. haven't tried the oven yet, but it's clear that if you buy that you will need one of these "peels" (oversize spatula) to get things in and out. i really like this size. the flat spatula part is nicely sized, thick enough not to bend, but thin enough so that it'll be easy to get pizzas (or other) on and off. the handle is the perfect length! it'll get your items in and out of any residential or camp oven, but it's no so long as to make it a storing hassle. i thought the price was very reasonable too.

Question: What did the author need to use to remove the cake?

The pan is nice and sturdy, I wish the sides were just a bit taller, but it still worked for my recipe. The coating is not sprayed as with other pans, so it is a bit thicker in places. Unfortunately, in one of the places it was so think, that a spike formed, and I cut my fingers on it while washing the pan. It was on the outside of the pan, near the rim. My husband filed it down, and it is now nice and smooth. The surface is smooth and although I needed to run a spatula around the cake to remove it, it was really easy to wash after that, see - I didn't even use a cloth to wash it, and my cut fingers are the proof for that.

Question: What two letter word describes what they thought of the original purchase?

Yes, it's ok. That's about it. had bought a KitchenAid for myself previously and bought this for my neice. Thought it would be ok. Well it was ok, but that's it. Leightweight, rolled edges not well rolled. Returned it & got another KitchenAid. Worth the extra few bucks.

Question: What are most of the problems a result of?

These things work great but I think a lot of the problems listed are user error. They do take a bit of learning to time it just right the video for this is awful...you hold the trigger down and just keep stamping don't let go...you will need to get the timing down right and when u do...you will never look back.It is all about practicing and making sure u put it together correctly!!!!! I can pop out a cookie sheet full of cookies in about a min...but it is all about timing. so the cookie is the correct size and releases from the gun so u can move on to the next cookie.PRACTICE and you will love it

Question: What size cup do they use?

I use it with gunpowder green tea and put a thin layer of tea at the bottom of the infuser....it blossoms up almost to the top.... this works PERFECTLY for me... no tea in the cup... I use it with a large cup but you could use a lot more tea and probably use it in a kettle.I like a good strong steeped tea and let it infuse for awhile...I know, I'm weird -- totally ruined the bouquet or whatever the tea itself... but I'm not after the flavor (which is delish), I'm after the green tea caffeine ;)(and anti-oxidants, of course)The drip cap is perfect... I don't think I fully realized it included this and so that was a huge bonus... I keep meaning to try to steep twice from the same bit of tea but one cup is usually strong enough for me.I wrote the company to find out if the plastic used in this is BPA-free (friend of mine is obsessed with this) and was assured that it is free of BPA... this is a good quality product that I've used every day for 3 weeks.Highly recommended!

Question: What brand of coffee maker had a much lower temperature?

Perhaps I have been brainwashed into believing that the method of brewing coffee influences flavor, but I have been using a cone style filter for most of my adult life and was shocked when I opened this coffee maker and discovered it had a cup-style filter (not mentioned anywhere I could see in the advertisements for it). As with another reviewer, the temperature was much lower than my favorite old Cuisinart which broke down after many years of daily-plus use, and the coffee cooled down in my cup before I was even halfway finished with it. I packaged this DeLonghi back up and went and replaced my Cuisinart with the identical one I have used for years.

Question: what were they tired of washing every few days?

We bought this tablecloth because we got tired of washing the linen tablecloth every few days. This tablecloth is 70" in diameter which is perfect for our table at 48" diameter. You can google "tablecloth sizing" and do some research to determine what tablecloth size works for you. The tablecloth itself is good quality and the edges have a trim, so it looks ok, not just a plain piece of plastic. The way we have it setup, we have a table protector pad and then on top a linen tablecloth, and then finally this plastic tablecloth. So far it has saved our linen tablecloth from several incidents which would definitely require us to wash it. The only downside is that the plastic tablecloth slides easily, so we have to adjust the position after every meal to re-center it.

Question: What should a beginner be sure to know when checking out pressure cookers?

Purchased this specifically for canning on my induction stove top and used it for practice on a simle asparagus soup recipe. Easy and very tasty! I was apprehensive about using a potentially dangerous cooking implement, I even had to stop the process and add an ingredient. My only suggestion to any newbie checking out pressure cookers is to be sure you know which way the steam is going to escape..take care to aim away from any surface that might be injured by steam! I found it easy to clean-remember to oil the gasket for good seal and long seal life.

Answer: which way the steam is going to escape

Question: What company makes the Green Earth Frying Pan?

I have had the Ozeri 8" Green Earth Frying Pan for a couple of months now, and received the matching lid about a month ago. Prior to having the lid, I was using the pan for scrambled eggs, omelets, and other cooking that I didn't need a lid for. When cooking chops, and putting it in the oven, I had to cover it with aluminum foil.Now that I have the lid I can cook ground beef, and onions, for a Shepherd's pie. I also use the pan for making my favorite dish, which is an Indian curry.The lid is tempered glass, and has a really neat vent area, for allowing the steam to come out. It is silver in color, the same as the rim of the lid, and has a hole in the middle, with 4 smaller ones around the outside of it. The lid fits perfecting into the Green Earth Frying Pan.Now when I am cooking my pork chops, I can sear then in the pan, and transfer the pan, and lid, into the oven. As long as I keep the temperature down to 392 F or below, it is ovenproof. I normally cook my chops at 325 F.When using the lid, the black handle/knob, which is on the top, stays cool, making for easy cooking.I can watch my food cooking through the clear glass lid. Before I would have to check my food, by taking off the lid, to ensure it didn't run dry.I always wash my pots and pans by hand. However, this lid is suitable to go into the dishwasher.I was sent the 8" Green Earth Frying Pan Lid, by Ozeri for my personal use. I was under no contract, or obligation to write a review, or to write a favorable one if I chose to write one.

Question: What addons did the mixer come with?

This mixer is such a workhorse; it is always up for any amount of mixing you want to do. I have a black one that came with accessories--dough hooks, whisk, and drink mixer rod. What impressed me the most, along with the normal mixing and whisking, is when I used the dough hooks to mix a LARGE amount of ground beef mixture that I was preparing to make a couple of meat loaves and meatballs with. It tackled it with ease.If you want a hand mixer that you will have for years and years, this is the one. I've had other hand mixers (wedding gifts) but none of them compared to the KitchenAid one.

Question: What item other than adding something non liquid into the mix could decreased the combination time?

Contrary to what you may read in the reviews - this product CAN HANDLE protein powder and water, provided you are not trying to make it so thick the spoon stands up. My experience with this is you can take 14-16 oz water, start the mixer, then add your 1 or 2 scoops and it blends fine. Just as with anything else, adding something NOT LIQUID into the liquid will slow the blending down a bit, and I would think that the strength of your batteries plays a part in this as well. I am ordering a 2nd one from Amazon, as I am very happy with the one I purchased at another site.

Question: What will no go back on the cans?

I like that this doesn't leave shavings and paper shreds along the top to contaminate the food. Clean, quick cut and would recommend highly.***Update*** I would also like to note, that if you like to "drain" foods (think Tuna) you will not be able to "squeeze" the liquid out as you would with a traditional can opener. The lid will not go back into the can once removed. Also, with large cans (e.g., 50 oz, you will find it more of a challenge to open the can overall). I still like the product a lot, but wish I could "drain" my cans with more ease.

Question: How big is the scale?

This is a very slim scale with a long battery life that works pretty well! It's light, and it works great on our tile and thin rug surfaces.The only strange thing is that it can never seem to settle on a weight. I understand that as you move your weight fluctuates by a few 10ths of a pound. But it doesn't seem to ever decide "ok, this is your weight" and stop. It just keeps doing it until the delay hits and turns itself off to save battery.

Question: How is the non-stick coating?

I often don't purchase things like pans from a company that isn't really all that well known for making pans, but Kitchenaid did a very good job in choosing Meyer for their pans. The pans are quite thick and sturdy and the non-stick coating is quite good. I have used a number of pans that have come from different manufacturers, and many times, the non-stick coating doesn't work as well as it should or starts peeling. The non-stick coating on these pans is quite excellent and saves a lot of time. I highly recommend these pans for all those mini jobs even if you don't use them in your countertop oven.

Question: What type of beverage is the product typically used with?

The benefits are easy to see and enjoyable to determine. Pop the cork on your favorite Merlot. Pour some right into a glass and some through this aerator (and ideally into a second glass).For me, immediately after pouring the wine which had been aerated tasted much better. After both glasses had been sitting for about 30 minutes, the "unareated" wine tasted about like the aerated wine when it was just poured. The aerated wine tasted even better.Unlink other aerators I've tried fit in the bottle's neck. This one remains separate. You hold it in one hand and pour the wine through it with the other. While the method requires an extra hand, it also gives the wine more opportunity to breathe as it falls from the bottle into the aerator.The aerator was sent so I could provide this fair and honest review.

Question: What did the author purchase?

I bought these after coming across an article that suggested that kids who cough a lot at night without showing other signs of being sick might be allergic to dust mites in their bed. So, after many a sleepless cough-filled night, I decided to buy this mattress protector along with a pillowcover for our daughter's bed.Whether it was a fluke or not, it seemed to work! She doesn't cough anymore at night unless she's sick! It's made such a difference in our quality of sleep! :) This also fits well and protects her mattress in case she spills her water cup.I highly recommend this product!

Question: What does the writer use the food saver for?

I wanted to purchase a food saver to use when I made smoothies. I bought small mason jars and the attachment to place over the lids to seal them. You do not have to use a hose with the hand held vacuum sealer. It works very well, costs much less than the non-hand held products, takes up less storage space and works well with the vacuum sealing bags that zip lock. I am going to purchase larger mason jars and the larger cap attachment and start to vacuum pack my salad. I am very happy with this product and can't wait to try it on other food items. I do not know how long the charge lasts but so far I have sealed at least 15 jars and it doesn't appear to need charging yet.

Question: What company makes the pressure cooker that is being reviewed?

Okay this is a bit pricey. It is worth it in my opinion. America's Test Kitchen highly recommends this pressure cooker. I have been working my way thru their Pressure Cooker Perfection Cookbook. This pressure cooker works excellently. Virtually every recipe I have attempted has turned out very well and quickly. If you need to simmer your dish after bringing the cooker down for pressure, the glass lid comes in handy. Some of the dishes I have cooked in this cooker, have left mild staining in the interior. I just use BarKeepers Friend and it restores the finish. I often use my parents Presto cooker when i am at their home and I have good results with that cooker as well. ATK recommends that you get to know your cooker and I am beginning to know this Fissler. I have absolutely no safety concerns when using this pressure cooker. Just make sure you follow the instructions. What a time saver!!!!

Question: What nationality does the knife originate from?

This is my second winco chinese cleaver. I sharpen and hone it every time I use it. I have cut myself pretty nicely with it too. But man is it versatile. It's light, easy to hold, and can be used to slice shallots paper thin, tomatoes, and if you turn it at a 90 degree angle, this thing is great for bashing almonds until they crack. I have even zested a lemon with it, slowly shaving it like that mob boss slices garlic with a razor blade in Goodfellas. The massive blade will slowly disappear as you sharpen it daily, but that's ok, just buy a new one when it's gone! You can buy really expensive knives but why? Unless you're wealthy and money is no object to you.

Question: Where are the bowls made?

I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection. Thinking these would do double duty as both serving bowls and storage solutions I ordered them. I have not been disappointed in any way. The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so. But for longer times I use a Corelle saucer, like comes with tea cups, to cover the smallest and middle sizes. Don't know why really except that plastics in the microwave seems like a bad idea. I have enough height in my cupboard to store the smallest bowls with lids on and stacked. I don't nest the bowls but if I did I'd place a paper towel or cloth napkin between. I often make vegetable pot pies in the smallest bowls, something that is not available at my grocer and from past experience I doubt I could buy a frozen pot pie that came close to how good mine are. I love that these bowls are made in the USA.

Question: Who gived this to me as a gift?

Question: What has the author never previously utilized?

I have never used a laundry sorter before but after I found a towel that a mouse had decided to use to make a nest in as it was in a pile on my laundry room floor, I decided I needed to get my dirty laundry up off of the floor. It is fairly well made, the spot welds on the end sections seem to be firm enough. The wheels are good and sturdy as well. I can move it easily from one area to another as I need to and the light-weight canvas bags are washable so that is also a plus. I am well pleased with this at this time.

Question: What was the poster severely addicted to?

I was skeptical with this purchase, but it really turned out to be everything I was hoping for.About me.... I was severely addicted to soda. I've been drinking 3-4 cans of soda a day for the past 12 years. I've tried quitting soda over 15+ times. Now that I have this little tea pot (it IS little....) and a teapot warmer, I can have warm tea waiting for me whenever I need it. This teapot has helped me create new habits.Downsides first, it is probably the reported 17 ounces. When I got it in the mail, I was shocked by how small it looked. But really, who needs that much tea in one sitting? Another downside it that it didn't seem packaged very well. Amazon did its part, but the actual teapot box was punched through by the cast iron spout. Teapot was fine though.Why this teapot is great:It stays warmLooks stylish, authentic, and snazzyFeels heavy and sturdySeems to be made wellThe basket is easy to cleanThe teapot stays warm for a while, however, I suggest buying a cast iron teapot warmer so you can have warm tea constantly. They need tealight candles, but you can buy them over amazon or go to ikea and buy hundreds of them for less than 10 dollars.At the price of 20-25 dollars, this teapot is so worth it.

Answer: soda

I was severely addicted to soda .

I was skeptical with this purchase, but it really turned out to be everything I was hoping for. About me.... <hl> I was severely addicted to soda . <hl> I've been drinking 3-4 cans of soda a day for the past 12 years. I've tried quitting soda over 15+ times. Now that I have this little tea pot (it IS little....) and a teapot warmer, I can have warm tea waiting for me whenever I need it. This teapot has helped me create new habits. Downsides first, it is probably the reported 17 ounces. When I got it in the mail, I was shocked by how small it looked. But really, who needs that much tea in one sitting? Another downside it that it didn't seem packaged very well. Amazon did its part, but the actual teapot box was punched through by the cast iron spout. Teapot was fine though.

Question: The pasta maker in question is secured to the counter with a what?

This pasta maker is really easy to use. Simply bolt it to your counter top using the included clip, adjust the knob to desired thickness and feed in your dough using the hand crank, progressively adjusting to the knob to make the dough thinner each time you send it through. Once thin enough, throw on your pasta attachment to select the type of pasta you want- either spaghetti or fettuccine and feed the dough through using the hand crank- and presto! you have fresh pasta. It's really that easy to use.Cleaning is pretty easy as well. Simply rub off any excess flour using a damp cloth and take a damp paper towel and feed it through each of the dough and pasta attachments using the hand crack. I highly recommend this for anyone considering making pasta.

Question: How many years did it take for the opener to require a replacement?

I got this can opener hoping to save money and space over an electric. For the first year or two this one worked perfectly, and I didn't at all miss having an electric opener. It did the job well and was comfortable on my hands. But I started having trouble after a couple of years, and at the 3 1/2 year mark, it needs to be replaced. It's getting a little rusty and hard to use; now I can open a can with some effort but have a lot of trouble prying it open again to take it off the can. I risk spilling the contents of the can. Also, the handles are coming a bit loose so that water seeps down into them, gets gross, and occasionally squishes out when I try to push them back in place.Granted, these issues may have been avoided if I didn't wash the can opener, or washed it much less often. But it seems to me a can opener needs to be washed when the juice from the can gets on the blade. (On the other hand, you can't throw an electric one in the dishwasher at all, which presents another issue.) So take your chances. If you're willing to handwash and meticulously dry, go without washing much, or know you just need an opener occasionally or for a couple years, this may be great for you.

Question: What is the authors main complaint?

The filter is amazing, looks awesome, and quiet. My main complaint is that the fan speed selector has tiny lights on it that, in a way similar to xmas "chasing" lights, appear to spin at various speeds. The problem I have with this is that there's something frustratingly addictive about playing with the fan speeds and watching the lights! Other than that, great all around!!Now, the money saving tip: There's a certain department store out there with a carbon/charcoal mesh and blue mesh trim-to-fit air filter for $10 (the store is based in Arkansas and has the word "Mart" in it). If you set that up as a "pre-filter" of sorts, you'll not only get nearly a year out of your 3M one, but you'll get rid of odors much better. I believe the $10 filter is made by WEB - I've been able to cut it in such a way as to get 3 pre-filters out of each.

Question: Are there issues with the rivets on the pan?

I purchased these because I simply couldn't resist the color! I love them so much! I have a full set of Calphalon which I love too, but I find I reach for my green pans most often, mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy! They heat evenly and well, cook everything nicely and clean up very well. Sure they get food stains on their finish and on the rivets, but a little Bon Ami on a non-metallic scubbing pad and it comes right off and they're good as new! I cook a lot and I am very pleased with this set!

Question: how the juicer looks like?

I have not owned a juicer in quite a few years. So it was quite a treat to try out this one.While it is plastic and lightweight, it appears to be quite durable. It juiced anything I "threw" at it, though as someone mentioned it occasionally gets to the point where the pulp builds up in the strainer, and it has to be cleaned out, especially with larger citrus. That's PROBABLY typical ... I remember my old one doing the same thing.Best part of this one is that the container doubles as a pitcher.Overall I like it very much.

Question: What brand is the product?

I have an electric Cuisinart grinder that I like but I've always wanted a manual grinder and could never find one that I liked enough to purchase. I came across this Hario Coffee Mill here on Amazon and it was exactly what I had been looking for. I'm delighted with this coffee grinder and will be ordering a few more for gifts. It grinds smooth and quiet (unlike an electric grinder in early morning hours). It's well made and grinds much like coffee flakes ~ how good coffee was ground years ago before auto-drip crushed grounds became the standard. It's also very pretty and a charming accent to the kitchen.

Question: Which feature on the deep fryer did the owner paid more for?

This is fantastic. I would recommend to all. I spent a little extra to get the timer feature and it was worth it. The oil filtering system is wonderful and easy to use. You just need to be sure you have the oil collection container in place and it strains the dirty oil into the collection container storing filtered clean oil until your next use. You then can clean most everything in the dishwasher, just not the heating element and fryer housing. I have had 6 deep fryers and this is by far the best.

Question: What did the buyer originally want?

i wanted an electric kettle, but landed up ordering this as i thought this was multi-functional and could be used to boil eggs etc as well. While it is muli-functional; 2 biggest irritatiosn are:- it has to be plugged out - i cannot just press a button for it to stop heating. I literally has to be plugged out. That reduces the functionality and safety of this product. bit of an irritation in a busy kitchen.- it leaks... within one week of using it, I noticed it leaks water while boiling and also leaks if there is any water left in it... Cleaning mess adds to the list instead of reducing it...

Question: How many people does the reviewer cook for?

Wow.... this oven is just what I wanted. We are a family of 3 and I can cook for the entire family in it. It's great for everything from Fries & Burgers to Cupcakes & Cookies. The Rotisserie is also a great feature..... makes awesome chicken.I think my old oven will only be used when I need to cook a turkey. Although a 6-7 pound turkey CAN be cooked in this oven.* I was a tad surprised that it didn't have an actual "toast" setting, but when I put it on bake for about 5 minutes, I get similar results. *

Question: What other drink can this product be used for?

This little personal hot water maker is just what I tea drinker like me needed. I don't use it to make coffee; although, I'm sure it would be fine for that as well. I fill it, put a teabag in my cup, push the button, and walk away. In no time at all, I have a perfect temperature cup of tea. This is the second time I've purchased one of these, the first was about 12 years ago. That one began showing signs of aging and had become a bit slow to start heating the water. That's when I ordered this one because I couldn't bear the thought of not having the convenience this device provides. As it turns out, the 12 year old began behaving as it always had (maybe a bit of corrosion on the switch?) and is still on my counter doing what it's done for years. The new one is in my office.

Question: What would have to happen before it was used?

I read all the reviews before I purchased this but decided to try it anyway since I was throwing out herbs that would not last more than a day or so. I expected it to be difficult to assemble and disassemble. I understood that once herbs were placed in it, it needed to be frozen before use. So, I thought I really had realistic expectations. When it arrived, I was pleased that assembly and dis-assembly was much easier than I expected. I read and followed directions and it was really pretty easy. I had just purchased fresh basil a day earlier so I placed it in the grinder and placed grinder in the freezer. The directions only have one small note about it working once herbs are frozen in it. However, the box it comes in clearly indicates it as a frozen herb grinder. I used the basil again a few days later...just ground what I needed from the mill and popped it back in the freezer for the next time. It was fast, easy and perfect. The herbs thaw almost instantly once ground and exposed to air or heat of food. They looked fresh, tasted fresh and smelled fresh. This was total perfection for me. I love this mill and have just ordered 2 more. Total thumbs up for me.

Question: What can be used to clean the baguette pan?

This Baguette pan, works wonderfully! I baked 6 hoagie rolls on it, at approximately 7 inches long, works like a charm, Beautiful coloring on the rolls, they are light and airy. I definately recommend this product as its functionality, ease of use/clean up, end product after baking, and the great production of hoagie rolls. 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..
