Question: What keeps items from falling off this door rack?

Over the years one thing is sure about closet hardware. There are a few good solutions and a whole lot of bad ones out there. Fortunately this Oxo door rack is one of the good ones. This stainless steel bodied rack measures in at 3.6" x 19.2" x 10.6" and features five padded hooks. Scuffing is zilch because this flex fit rack is outfitted with silicone contact points. Unlike other over the door racks that I've purchased, this product does not slide and bang against the door. Thanks to the padded hooks, I've had absolutely no problems with garments or hats slipping off and falling to the floor. Unlike the cheapies out there, I've had no issues with opening or closing the closet door. This Oxo product is a welcome closet tool that I use and can easily recommend.

Question: What size bags does the trash can use?

Overall, this is a great trash can. It's attractive, or at least not ugly. It's big, using a 30 or 33 gallon bag, meaning more room for large stuff and less overflow between bag changes. The lid has a latch that can be slid into place that prevents opening, in case you have curious/smart toddlers/dogs (we do).The one negative is that the interior walls are not smooth, and in some places have horizontal beams that provide strength, but also catch the stuff in the bag when you are pulling it out, and can easily rip the bag if things are wedged in tight.If this thing had smooth inner walls, I'd give it 5 (or even 6) stars, but having a snag-y interior seems like a big oversight for a trash can. We still like it very much, but wanted to point out this one issue for other potential buyers.

Question: What space has little storage?

I love having a few of these around to hang over bedroom and bathroom doors for extra organizing space. This is a very nicely made item, with a clean-looking metal finish. The hanging bars are thin enough that doors can close with these attached.I use these to hang coats, diaper bags/purses, umbrellas and, in the bathroom, robes and towels. Everything has held up well so far. In short, this is very convenient and useful - I imagine it would also be perfect for dorm rooms or small apartments where storage is at a premium.

Question: What type of item is it?

I have been doing a great deal of cooking and testing recipes and building my own cookbook of favorites. I have a smaller cast iron dutch oven, but I wanted something bigger for soups and stews and braised ribs and so forth. The larger cast iron dutch or french ovens have two huge drawbacks. first, the price is more than i want to invest in a single pot. but i was willing to do that until I went to some stores to try to pick out the size in person. Then I found the second and more compelling problem - they weigh a ton! I couldn't imagine filling it and trying to lift it in and out of the oven! But as I was looking I saw this item - perfect size, liftable, and great price. I've used it both stove top and in the oven and it is wonderful! As far as I can tell, it cooks as well and as evenly as the cast iron one I have. Be sure to note that it specifies you should not use oil sprays (like Pam) because of buildup, and also that the cover is good only to 450 degrees in the oven. Neither of these are issues for me. I love the pan!

Question: How do they describe the cutting board?

I end up replacing my cheap plastic cutting boards way more often than I'd like. They get warped and slide around on the counter, I get mad, throw them away, and order a new set. So I decided it was time to be a grown-up and buy one that cost more but would last longer.After reading tons of reviews (including ones in Cook's Illustrated) I broke down and shelled out the cash for this one. And I'm so glad I did.1. Its gorgeous. How many cutting boards can you say that about? So pretty that it stays out on my kitchen island all the time. And even the cut marks give it character.2. Its heavy. Which means no sliding or slipping.3. Its easy to clean. Wipe and done.

Question: How long have they been using this product?

For years, I've been lugging bottles of water (mostly distilled) so that I can avoid weird water tastes, cloudy water and mystery pollution floating in it. Well, I guess I'm about to miss out on all those great work-outs I've been doing. There'll be no more heavy lifting for me or squandering tons of money (it really adds up!) on bottled water. I can also congratulate myself on sparing the environment all those plastic jugs in the trash.PUR CR-600 2 Stage Oval Water Pitcher is excellent, efficient and cost-effective. The pitcher, itself, is quite sturdy. I've been using this pitcher for weeks now, and I'm certain that it will last a good long time. I highly recommend it and only wish I had purchased one years ago!

Question: A definite must-have for who?

My Salad Shooter (I cheated) is from a yard sale, so it only cost a couple of dollars. But that's because I didn't know that Amazon has them for sale. It is a marvel to use, especially for carrots, hard(er) cheeses, and other firm stuff.BUT -- big warning from experience -- things like bamboo shoots and celery, that have strings in them, just tend to jam it up, so all you do is clean food-jams out (similar to log jams).Either get the strings out (celery) or chop them by hand.Also I think there may be a small problem (after bamboo) with the cutting edges getting dull. Being on the outside of the attachment, it should be possible to sharpen them with a fine file or sharpening stone, or else haunt the yard sales to get replacement parts from people who didn't like theirs...A definite must-have, from somebody who has a KitchenAid Stand Mixer with all the good attachments, and still uses the Salad Shooter for shredding carrots and such stuff. Nice.

Question: Keeping the serving sizes reasonable helps to what?

I cook large meals for just myself and these are the perfect size to make freezer meals I can take out to heat in the microwave for dinner. Sure beats eating expensive store bought food. Each is no more expensive than the cost of one Stouffer's meal. Knowing they are NOT leak-proof reminds me to keep them level till frozen then can be store any which way to keep till I need a meal. The larger area is probably a little bigger than I need for the meat portion, but the other two are sized for two vegetables and I can always put a few scoops of potato in the larger side if I desire. Also helps keep my portions to a reasonable size so I don't overeat ! ... a good buy in my opinion as the only way to save money when you cook for one is to be able to store what you can't eat in one day.

Question: In addition to meat, what breakfast food was cooked on the product?

I read the dimensions for this and I thought it would be perfect. It's my fault I want it to be a tad bigger, but I just do. Maybe just a half an inch or inch larger in either direction, and it would be perfect, but don't get me wrong this is a good little griddle. I've cooked steaks, pork chops, bacon and eggs, etc on this and it works very well. Yet, I brought this primarily for breakfast and it's hard to fit 3 thick slices of bacon and two eggs on there. I can make it work, but I don't have the egg shaper pictured in the advert. Who knows maybe I'll get that one day, but without it is hard to get everything on there without stuff running into each other. Again though, this is a great personal griddle that will fit in any cabinet and the price makes it worth it. I'll probably get a bigger one, but for now I'm satisfied with what I got. Just be sure you clearly understand that the dimensions of the grill are exactly what they say, so if you want something bigger then don't buy this grill.

Question: How much did this product cost?

I was really excited to use this set, but after having it I find myself really only using the larger insulated bag. Otherwise when grocery shopping I tend to like the recycled bags sold at my grocery store because they hold more, and since they are square based they fit much better into the back end of my vehicle.There are a few things that I feel could be improved upon:* The price. I don't think being green necessarily has to equate to spending lots of money and at $50 I think that is expensive for what I have ended up utilizing this set for.* The durability. I have questions about how durable this set will be over the long haul. Being made out of plastic I don't know that the seems will actually hold the 70 lbs it says it will. One reviewer has had the zipper break. This is not my experience, but I do wonder how long it will last.What I did like:* I loved the idea and the purpose behind the company and the products that they make. It's fun and environmentally friendly and I love that they have tags on the inside of the items telling you how many plastic bags you save, or were used to manufacture the item saving them from the landfill.Overall it's a good idea, but maybe not fully realized it's potential, and a bit pricey in my opinion.

Question: What colors is Fiestaware available in?

My wife and I love Fiestaware. It's durable. Resist chips. Safe to use in the dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer. And best of all, it's available in a range of fun, complimenting colors. You can either go with one color, or have fun mixing and matching a few sets.So far my wife and I have purchased six Fiesta 4-Piece Place Settings (tangerine, sunflower, paprika, scarlet, turquoise, and lemongrass), with a few extra serving dishes to match. It's awesome knowing that Fiestaware's been around for a while, and if we ever do break a piece, it's nice knowing it'll be easy to replace. We look forward to using Fiestaware in our family for many years to come!

Question: Which needle brand did not come in a bag?

I've been knitting for a long time, and have amassed quite a collection of circular needles. I try to store them in their original plastic zip bags, with the correct label inside, so that I always know what size I have. But occasionally I bought custom needles that didn't come in a zip bag, or brand-name circs like the Noble Needle that came on a cardboard card (which is by now a shredded piece of paper). I purchased the 100-pack of these 4x6 zip bags to create new circ bags for those unusual ones, and to replace torn, punctured, etc., old ones on my Addi needles. These are the perfect size - just the same as the Addi bags, but thicker, so probably sturdier - and quite cost-effective. My needle storage is now beautiful and uniform! (Well, except for that massive size 19 circ, which wouldn't fit in a bag this size...)

Question: What do the shelves need to be?

I wish two things----the cabinets were bigger, and they didn't wobble back andforth after they're put together. I wish the shelf space were deeper. I wish the packages of shelf pegs had more pegs in them; but that's four things....oops!I needed them (2) in my kitchen since my house was built in 1889 and backthen the people were teeny-tiny and kitchen cabinets were not very large,and closets were tiny for these tiny people, so I got these cabinets for mykitchen to hold the extra pots & pans. As far as putting them together, I paida handy man to do that for me. They didn't look too hard, though. I recentlyput my own gas barbecue together----maybe that's why it didn't look hard.Bottom line: they're cute but they wobble a little bit.

Question: When did the author used to wake up?

I mean it! I never realized that I woke up with back pain until I woke up from the first morning of sleeping on this bed with none! I was amazed. I fall asleep quicker than I ever have before... I sleep more sound than I ever have before... I don't catch myself waking up in the middle of the night like I used to on my spring mattress.The bed is firm enough that you don't sink into it and have a hard time getting out like I thought would happen, but instead you can't feel where your bones come into contact with the bed through your skin (like your hips and shoulders).Since I have a standard King/Queen frame I have to use my box spring from my old mattress to support the new Memory Foam mattress, but it works well. The only difference is that the bed gets a lot higher, and I, being 5'4, have to "jump" into bed now.Another thing that caught me off guard is how quiet the bed is. There's no squeaking anymore, if you shift by "hopping" your body around you don't hear a thing. It's amazing!Now if only this bed could make my boyfriend stop snoring...

Question: What is the worst thing about the cast iorn grill?

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.

Question: What size bedspread did the customer purchase?

Received this bedspread yesterday. The shipping was extremely fast. The bedspread looked just as described, only better. All the excellent reviews played a major role in my decision and I was not the least bit disappointed. It is a VERY NICE bedspread and there were no defects in the material at all. My husband liked it alot. He said it looked just like the quilts his grandmother used to make and she made alot! I love all the different patterns and colors, and it matches the curtains I already have perfect. The queen fit is just right for our high bed and does not drag on the floor. The quilts and comforters I have do not come down on the sides or at the foot of my bed and this one does, they are shorter than bedspreads, that is what is nice about this. TRULY HAPPY!

Question: What is the tip coated in?

These work really nicely for clamping bags of chips shut tightly. The magnets are convenient as these clamps stick right on the chalkboard door of my pantry. The tips that actually grip the bag are rubber coated. It's higher quality than it needs to be but I find that satisfying and typical of OXO products.

Question: what type of product is being reviewed?

First of all, let's get to the minor flaws. This crock pot was slightly larger than what I thought it'd be, so it wasn't as easy to carry. That's pretty much it for the negatives. Everything else about this product works for me. It kept my food warm for a loooong time, and it definitely saved time(no more reheating food that's been ignored on the table!)during dinnertime. Plus, the handles are easy to grip, so you can carry this with ease(just know that's it's kind of heavy).So, if you don't mind the size and the weight, this crockpot can be a good addition to your kitchen.

Question: What product does the author love?

I love oxo products, with the exception of their plastic. It WILLcrack. I love these lids. Occasionally they fall apart, but usually I can get them out back together. I like this product, but not as much as the others. We had filled it with a fruity mix of candy, and were at the end when my son touched it and knocked it. Kept tipping because the lid was heavy. Not a big deal if it is full, but with their plastic, I don't like the tall or strange shaped containers. They tip and the plastic breaks or cracks.

Question: How many gallons is the trash can?

Seriously, who needs a tiny 1.5 liter, oops sorry no metric system, that's a .4 gallon trashcan?Well - they're all over Europe in the restaurants and bed & breakfasts. They keep a counter or table clean.Put one on your counter - the empty single serve creamers get tossed in after making coffee, oh yeah - the empty packets of sweetener go in. Eggshells if you have boiled eggs for breakfast, baby bell cheese packaging and so on. Saves you from countless trips to the big kitchen trashcan or opening and closing the cabinet door to get to the full-size trashcan.It's just a simple touch, a small detail that makes your kitchen more organized/clean.

Question: What was not taken into consideration when purchasing?

I'm such a sucker for the stars ratings. This one got 4 four stars at the time of purchase so I thought it would be a good bet. When we got it, I immediately realized that I didn't take into consideration the size of it. There are only two coffee drinkers in our house and this is just way too big for our needs. We decided to keep it since we occasionally have guests over but for the 1-2 cups that we brew on a daily basis, this is way too big. It's very tall and the carafe is difficult to pour from unless it's full. Normally, we only have 2 cups in there and trying to get out that very last bit usually results is spilling it onto the counter. The carafe manages to keep the coffee warm even though it's not heating it but it's not super hot as well. I like my coffee HOT, so I pop it into the microwave for another 30 seconds. All it all, it makes a decent cup of joe but I would look at other coffeemakers if you don't need the 12-cups.

Question: How many cups of tea does the machine make at one time?

I have 2 of these brew and go machines and use them everyday. I love tea and am able to make the best cup of tea, ok I use 3 tea bags as I love it strong...but it really is perfect every single time I use it! No fuss no mess, just a great hot cup of tea. Suprisingly the travel mug keeps it nice and hot for a good period of time. Coffee would be super simple too as the permanent filter is a sweet plus. Make a great college gift or for a person who only has a cup or 2 of coffee or tea at a time. I love this machine!

Question: Who are the people that compliment the bags?

These bags are very roomy and have a place inside on each side to slide a bottle or jar into. Half gallon of milk fits great.Everytime I use them the cashier and baggers comment on how nice they are.They keep everything nice and cold on the drive home. (My drive is about 45 minutes).They also hold way more than the store bags and are VERY sturdy. Nice and thick.The zippers are just a little bit.......not really hard to close, but you do have to take a second or two to get them to slide around.I'm going to get my daughter-in-law some so she doesn't have to keep borrowing mine.

Question: How does the author seperate the salad when she packs it?

I have had this product now for about one month and I love it! It keeps my salad greens cool and dry and the tray on top lets you keep your salad toppings just as you like them.. I put the wetter toppings on one side and the dryer toppings on the other. And the dressing container holds enough dressing. I really pack it in there. My salad is perfect every time. The latches work well, it has never come open. The knife and fork are a nice touch, they are sturdy enough, but I find that the tongs on the fork are too fat to pick up lettuce, so I bring my own along.. No biggie. Buy this. You will be happy with it!

Question: What brand is being discussed?

I have a lot of good grips products and overall they have been a very dependable brand for great kitchen and household items. These measuring cups are very nice. There are four of them, all heavy stainless steel. You can a 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 cup measures.The smallest one, 1/4 cup, is a little bit tippy, but the others are all solidly flat. You can scoop with them, measure your ingredients, heat on the stove and they have a ring so you can either keep them clipped together or pull them off to use individually. Recommended!

Question: What is one more thing you need to be mindful of?

This looks good and does the job well. But be mindful of its dimensions, placement of the screw holes and the dimensions of your cabinet. If you plan to hang it on the wall - you should have no worries. If you plan to hang it inside a kitchen cabinet, keep in mind:1- you will have to hang it low enough to allow for the top lid to clear the inside frame of the cabinet, and for the bottom to clear the cabinet frame.2 - before drilling any holes, check the sickness of you cabinet door in those specific spots. My cabinets have carved face, so the sickness of the door is very thin and I could not drill the holes for the lower two screws. I ended up using screw for the top hole, and command hooks for the bottom support. And I had to find my own very short screw for the top hole3 - you might have to use command hooks for the support if you cannot use any screws for any holes. But the lids add up to a lot of weight4- consider the depth that the lids will take inside the cabinet once the door is closedThe distance between the top screw and the bottom screws is about 16.5 inches

Question: Why is the box useless?

I bought this set to replace a non-seratted set that was way too flimsy. I cannot be happier. Except for the box they work as advertised. The box is useless. Lined with light weight foam rubber, the box is impractical for knife storage. It would take too long to fit the knives back inside their foam rubber cradle positions. Fortunately, my other set had a wooden knife rack I can store these knives in. Best still the knives can be washed in my dishwasher. The old set had wooden handles and neede hand washing. The box caused me to score 4 out of 5 stars.

The box is useless. <hl> Lined with light weight foam rubber, the box is impractical for knife storage . <hl> It would take too long to fit the knives back inside their foam rubber cradle positions. Fortunately, my other set had a wooden knife rack I can store these knives in. Best still the knives can be washed in my dishwasher. The old set had wooden handles and neede hand washing. The box caused me to score 4 out of 5 stars.

Question: Can you decorate the panel?

Works great!We have this heater mounted to the wall in a really drafty and cold bathroom. (Maybe 60 sqft) It works really well to keep the chill out of the room, especially with the door closed. The wall gets warm but not too warm, I can touch the panel but I wouldn't keep my hand there too long. The heater panel is paintable so it will fit your decor if you spend the time painting it.The installation was a snap and included everything needed (except the power drill).I am not sure how well this heater would work in larger room but I really like that it is not driven by a fan and is quiet as can be.

Question: Which type of meat do they make on this grill?

I've been using this item at least once a week for about six months now. I use it primarily as a griddle for french toast or pancakes or as a grill for hamburgers. As a griddle, it works fine. I wish it were a little bigger, but with creative arrangement it will hold 6 pieces of french toast. As a grill, it leaves a lot to be desired. It has a drip tray, but the unit is not angled properly for the grease to drain. I use 96% fat free ground beef, which is pretty dry, but the grease -still- runs out of the back of the unit. I'd taken to propping it up, which helped but didn't solve the problem. Last night, I propped it on two inverted bowls--so much of an angle that the grease was running down over the controls in the front, and it -still- ran out the back of the unit. It isn't that I've overloaded the grill--we're only talking 4 hamburgers. But that's done it for me. I'm going to take a good look at the George Foreman GRP90WGR. It also has removable plates, and maybe it's better designed.If you're looking for a griddle or a panini press, the cuisinart could be great. But if you make hamburgers as often as I do, you might want to look somewhere else.

Question: what is the product made out of?

I am a garlic lover and I love this garlic press. I grow garlic and use garlic daily in cooking. The garlic comes out very finely crushed. This press is made of very sturdy, solid stainless steel, It is very easy to use, easy to hold, and easy to squeeze, I don’t know why some of the other reviewers had trouble, maybe their garlic was very hard, but ripe, unpeeled garlic presses just fine for me. I have drawer full of garlic gadgets and this one is the easiest to use. It is much sturdier and stronger, not flimsy as most are. It works well on both small and large cloves. Cleaning is easy, once the garlic remnants dry in the press, just brush it out with your finger or a spatula. Does not even need washing! I was sent a sample unit in exchange for an honest and fair review.

Question: Why should I buy this pan?

Visitors to my kitchen spot this pan and often ask what I use it to do. My answer: "Name it". Sautee some chopped onions before adding in fresh fish or poultry? Check. Scamble up an omelet with saugage on the side? Not a problem. Mix up a batch of cornbread dough, pour it into this pan then pop in the oven? Don't waste my time!It's just a terrific can-do pan that does everything I've dreamed up for it to do, cleans easily, and is ready for more. I've even started a few meat dishes in the pan before finishing them in the oven, that is browning on the stove top and slow roasting or baking in the oven to finish up. If you don't have one of these pans in your kitchen, you need to add it to your collection because you'll wonder, as I have, how you got along without it to this point.

Question: How is the product powered?

Every kitchen should have a digital thermometer and every cook should use one. Not only is it a must for determining if poultry and meat is done, it is handy for telling if those leftovers in the microwave are hot. It is also a must-have if you make your own yogurt. Too many other uses to list here.Cooks Illustrated got it right! If you don't have the money for aThermapenthen this is the one to get. I've had this model for at least 5 years after trying several other digital models. My biggest gripes about those were slow response time and narrow temp range.The CDN DTQ450 has a wide temperature range, responds quickly, has a "temp hold" feature (lacking on the Thermapen), and has large easy to read numbers. The sleeve can be used as a handle...handy when taking the temperature of boiling liquid. It also shuts itself off after a couple of minutes to save the battery. I saw a complaints about the small buttons, but I have big "ham hands" and don't have a problem with the size if the buttons.No, you can't put it in a turkey or roast and put it in the oven, but they makeProbe Thermometersfor that. And no, you can't put it in the dishwasher, but why would you want to? It just wipes clean.This will be the best 18 bucks you can spend on the kitchen. I highly recommend this thermometer.

Question: Keeping the serving sizes reasonable helps to what?

I cook large meals for just myself and these are the perfect size to make freezer meals I can take out to heat in the microwave for dinner. Sure beats eating expensive store bought food. Each is no more expensive than the cost of one Stouffer's meal. Knowing they are NOT leak-proof reminds me to keep them level till frozen then can be store any which way to keep till I need a meal. The larger area is probably a little bigger than I need for the meat portion, but the other two are sized for two vegetables and I can always put a few scoops of potato in the larger side if I desire. Also helps keep my portions to a reasonable size so I don't overeat ! ... a good buy in my opinion as the only way to save money when you cook for one is to be able to store what you can't eat in one day.

Question: How many pieces do you have to put together to use this?

Pretty easy to use. Just need to put the two pieces together and fill with water from the little holes in the top. Just make sure not to overfill! All of my little ice balls have nubs on them that are hard to get off from the water fill up hole. I also have one unfortunate looking squished ice ball because something was pushing on it in the freezer, but other than that, they look great! I can't wait trying these with something other than just water! Maybe some lemon, or juice...mint leaves perhaps? :)

Question: What kind of tops do the skillets come with?

I have Curculon skillets that I use on a daily basis so I was thrilled to receive this. This is a great set for anyone who is starting out or if you need to replace your old worn out ovenware.Pros-Very heavy and sturdyInexpensive when compared to sets of this quality.Glass tops ensure you can see if your water is boiling. Many sets come with solid covers and you cant see what is going on in the pan.You can go from stove to oven with each of these pots and pans.It really is non stick. I made scrambled eggs and they did NOT stick. I used nothing in the bottom of the pan.Cons-The handles can get very hot, but this is true with most pots and pans.I have a large family and the skillets are too small for us, I would recommend this for a family of 2 or 3 .Overall a great product at a fantastic price. Great shower gift, housewarming etc.

Question: What is attached to the body?

I am super impressed with this vacuum, here's why:* Extremely QUIET! Amazingly quiet.* It picks up dirt, dust, debris with gusto. In a room that already looked fairly well vacuumed, the amount this Bissell picked up was crazy!* Okay, I like that I can see all the dirt it picks up in the filter. It makes me feel accomplished!* The tools attached to the body make it easy to grab and use them.* Fantastic price!A very few buggers:* The switch is down real low on the unit so you have to bend down to flip it off and on. A switch on the handle would have been more convenient.Well, actually, that's the only thing I don't love about it.

Question: What did the reviewer use in place of vanilla?

I used the recipe (in the encluded book) for vanilla cupcakes but used lemon extract instead of vanilla. Makes enough batter for 3 batches of 7. Just perfect. I tried the final batch without paper cups and they work fine if you like a little more of a crispy outside. The tops didn't brown but they were totally cooked. No clean up to speak of. Didn't have to heat up an oven. Very nifty little gadget. BTW I bought one of the used/like new ones listed for a few $$ savings. Looks new to me but the box had been opened is all.

Question: Where did the writer buy things to repair the blinds?

I have an old home with vertical blinds that we've been talking about replacing for a few years, especially since several vanes were broken where they attach at the top.My handyman told me that Home Depot had repair kits (and they do, but contain extra hardware you may not need), but I never got around to addressing it.One day I'd had enough of these things falling down and Googled around and discovered these on Amazon.They are easy to apply and work perfectly.Some say they are a bit pricey for what they're made of, but the ease of use and sturdiness trumps that for me.I fixed over 10 vanes and they are all working perfectly (we have a LOT of vertical blinds).Great product!

Question: When did the author first buy a bacon cooker?

I had this bacon cooker in the past and was satisfied with it for the price. It's much more convenient than the ones on which you have to put each slice vertically in a slat. The fat does drip off adequately; and it is dishwasher friendly, if you wipe it with a paper towel first. As with all microwave bacon cookers, the fat does pop and splatter through the microwave, but you have to leave it uncovered for maximum crispness. It cooks and cleans well. After a while, it seems to lose its finish, turn brown, as if burned, and then does not clean as well or cook as evenly. I had the last one for 5 years and make bacon a couple of times a month, even if only a slice to crumble on a salad. It didn't get heavy use, but certainly I feel that I got my money's worth. The bacon cooks, crisps, browns and stays flat nicely. You can squeeze about 7-8 slices on it. I'd recommend it, and obviously would buy it again.

After a while, it seems to lose its finish, turn brown, as if burned, and then does not clean as well or cook as evenly. I had the last one for 5 years and make bacon a couple of times a month, even if only a slice to crumble on a salad. It didn't get heavy use, but certainly I feel that I got my money's worth. The bacon cooks, crisps, browns and stays flat nicely. You can squeeze about 7-8 slices on it. I'd recommend it, and obviously would buy it again.


Question: What other items can it store?

I think I got this for a great price given the quality of the product. And the quality of this product is superb! I have stored my finer pieces of silverware in it along with other pieces received as wedding gifts in the drawer beneath. I found that this is the only way to keep silverware looking brand new as opposed to the silverware stored in the kitchen drawer and is used daily that shows some knicks here and there for obvious reasons.
