Question: Whats something the blade does not do?

What I like:1. easy on my latex free dishwashing gloves which are not cheap.2. well written instructions/pictures. a bit tricky at first, but a breeze now3. it stays clean. The blade does not get gooky with dried food and require cleaning4. as easy to crank as any other manuel. electricity free and fits in a drawer5. even works on pop-top cansWhat I don't like - keep your old manual around1. does not work on all cans, especially those really small2. can not use lid to drain liquids. while this may be good for tuna in decreasing the amount of mayo, it's a problem with fruits and other canned goods.I know a product should only get 5 stars if I have no dislikes, but this met my requirements for it 100%. I wanted a manual can opener that would help encourage me to recylce more.As far as durability, I'll have to wait and see. Just got it for Christmas 2009.10/2011 I still love this and it has held up very well.

Question: What part of the author's body is happy?

The Siwvel Sweeper G2 is a handy little dvice to have around - it's great at picking up crumbs, dog food, broken glass and dust - the ony thing I would say is that I have a large dog and I have to keep cleaning the brushes because the hair winds around the brushes - but for quick pick ups it's fantastic. I use it on the steps, hard floors, in the bathroom - We are getting ready to sell our house and it's great to just zoom through the house first thing in the morning. I gave my second one away to my son but now I am sorry I did because it would really be handy to keep one on each floor. It stores neatly and is great for picking up crumbs under tables etc. My house stays a lot cleaner and I only have to drag the vaccum cleaner out once a week - good for me! Good for my back.

Question: What are the dimensions?

I purchased these boxes to store small items in an Ikea Besta cabinet and it works perfectly for that! The size allows two across plus two stacked on a shelf. With the locking top, you can even cant one sideways and put it at an angle on the same shelf.The parts stored include everything from small hardware (screws, nuts, fasteners) to hand tools to wires and even power transformers for small electronics.It's great to be so organized!

Question: What function does the time display?

The dial is very large which I like so it can be read easily. The housing seem to be made of good quality materials. I like the fact that I don't have to look up cooking time because it's on the face of the dial.

Question: What can the silicone roasting rack accommodate?

A silicone roasting rack is a great idea and much needed, given that most "non-stick" roasting racks are anything but. However, this version is not well executed. It is way too small to have much utility. You can get a single small pork roast on it, but that's about it. You won't be using this for baking poultry pieces, pork chops, etc., and don't even think you could put a turkey on it. Somebody needs to take this idea and make a big version of it. They would sell a million of them.

Question: What product is the reviewer writing about?

Some kitchen tools are easy to overlook. Don't for a second, though, forget how important it is to have a good spoon: comfortable, easy to use for stirring, useful in a cooking pot or saute pan, durable, easy to clean.This spoon is all of that and more. Price is good, too. Cooking grade silicone with a sturdy metal handle, just the right size slots, and easy to hold and control. And it washes like a charm.I've had his spoon and its un-slotted cousin for more than a year and it has help up very, very well, and has never failed me. Looks like new even after many trips to the dishwasher (in the dreaded lower rack!), big pans of bread dough, browning eggplant slices in hot oil, stirring garlicky sauces, and so on. It has never picked up smells or colors.Great, great kitchen tool. No cons, lots of pros.

Question: What is sturdy for its size?

I love this ricer. It is extremely sturdy and heavy for its size, and is just a very high-quality piece of equipment that can be used for all sorts of things -- soups, purees, spaetzle, squeezing moisture out of wilted greens, etc. I also love that it doesn't have holes on the sides. My last ricer had side holes and I was constantly squirting boiling hot potato bits all over my kitchen. This ricer really aims the riced items downward into the bowl, which I appreciate.

Question: What do they think about the item?

I have been using this wok for several weeks and I really like it. It seems to conduct heat very well, so things cook quickly -- and the steamer basket is HUGE! Of course, it's hard to stir fry chicken and steam veggies at the same time (impossible, really, since you need to keep stirring the chicken but you can't with the basket on top), so it's mostly a one-or-the-other situation.I have two negatives: First, I have noticed that the non-stick coating seems to have tiny little scratches in it. Nothing major, and the teflon is still intact, but I have definitely noticed some lines that weren't there beofre. This is disheartening, as I have only been using wooden spoons and there should be no scratches this quickly in any case.Second, the metal handles tend to get very hot -- too hot to handle without a pot holder or gloves or something.Still, this is a very nice wok and I do recommend it.

Question: What can be done if the two piece feature is undesirable?

Don't waste your money. Use recycled lids from store-bought mayo or salad dressing. They leak less than these and are free. If you want a water-tight seal, use a regular two-piece canning lid because these leak like a sieve; if the two-piece feature really bugs you, hot-glue the flat to the ring. I will grant that these are pretty and white and don't have a food name embossed on them. But they are for storing stuff, so who is really going to see it? I bought the box over a year ago and only two lids have been put into use - for jars of my special lotion blend. I use recycled lids or canning lids for everything else.

Question: How much does the s'more maker cost?

My brother loves making s'mores in the microwave, so I bought him this as a Christmas present. Even though it's not something that's 100% necessary, it was a funny little gift that is actually pretty practical. If you've ever made s'mores in the microwave before, you know that the marshmallow balloons out and you need to keep an eye on it as it "cooks." This little device stops that completely- you add water to the back part, which helps the marshmallow cook evenly, and the "hands" gently compress the s'more as it heats.Personally, after having s'mores made both with and without this little device, I think the marshmallows actually taste better after using the device since they are more evely heated. The chocolate tastes better too since it has more time to melt. Of course, you can save $7 and still make s'mores without it, but if you know someone who loves s'mores, it's a cute and inexpensive gift idea. Highly recommended!

Question: What size skillet did the reviewer's wife choose?

My wife said that she wanted an electric skillet for Christmas so I did a ton of research on Amazon and this one had the best and most believable ratings I could find. Told the wife to measure and be sure of the size she wanted and she chose the 16 inch. The skillet couldn't be better, It is solidly built and very streamlined with everything handily in place for easy usage. The only problem we have found is that the wife didn't quite do her homework and we find that this big guy takes a LOT of counter space and storage space. However, we have decided that it is worth it and we will never want for a great turkey cooker if all the family drops in for a Christmas dinner.

Question: What item is this supposed to hold?

While this does make a very nice key rack, that's not what I got it for. I had been looking for something to hang long necklaces on in my closet/dressing space, and I thought this would work well. It does! It was easy to install. It comes with screws and anchors, and I have to say I never mess with anchors and never have an issue - point being that I screwed this into the wall without the anchors. I like the simple style, and the silver finish adds a touch of elegance. I'm sure this would also work well to hold keys, but I like it as an accessory organizer, too.

Question: This product is compared to what since it takes your money?

I bought this without bothering to read the reviews first and what a mistake and waste of money that was. This humidifier is LOUD; there's no way to sleep in the same room when this thing is running. Another reviewer said they had to get a sound/sleep machine to duplicate the sound it makes. Sure, but they didn't mention that the sound/sleep machine was an idling dump truck! And it leaks! Not just a little, either and not something just a hand towel can absorb. Noisy, leaky and wholly unsatisfactory! I already own the Crane "Penguin" and couldn't be happier with that but I didn't want to have to drive all the way to the store that has them. I should have because now I'm going to have to do it anyway. Also, the filters get nasty in a very short period of time and I'm not crazy about trying to find them or wasting money changing them out when all I want to do is add a little humidity to the air. After all, you're adding clear tap water not something you dredged out of the drainage ditch. Amazon needs to add a "zero" stars option or even a negative one, like black stars, because products like this are black holes that just suck in your money and give you nothing in return!

Question: Why did vegetable keep slipping around?

Don't believe the videos. The blade that holds the vegetable was too small and the vegetable kept slipping around and falling off while trying to turn it. Also, one of the tines was missing from one of the cutters and I was nervous about more of them coming off in my food. I really wanted this to work because I have another brand that spills veg juices on my counter while spiralizing. But I would rather clean up juices than worry about pieces of metal in my food or waste money on a gadget that doesn't work as advertised. I filed a claim with Amazon and got my money back.

But I would rather clean up juices than worry about pieces of metal in my food or waste money on a gadget that doesn't work as advertised. I filed a claim with Amazon and got my money back.


Question: What else can it do?

This rice cooker is a gem. I keep it on my counter because you can make just about anything in it. I use bulgar wheat instead of rice and it makes it just right. It also steams veggies like a pro. I have made soup in it that rivals any restaurant and also a cake. I have used all the settings except for the sushi button as I am not a sushi lover. This is so much more than a rice cooker and steamer. A regular "kitchen" all in one. Would not be without it and if it ever breaks down I will buy another one to replace it.

Answer: steams veggies

It also steams veggies like a pro.

Question: Why are the shelves great?

All good things about this item have already been said. This unit is absolutely true to the size stated in the description; shiny chrome finish, and a snap (literally) to put together. Shelves are easily adjustable, and the unit has self-leveling feet so if your floor (or wherever you place this) is uneven, you can easily fix the shelf for stability. Absolutely NO tools required - only about five minutes. The unit is extremely strong and sturdy. There is a 1" edge around each shelf, which faces downward, so if you have items that might have to "hang" over the shelf, or have a door that swings open and over the shelf, it's not a problem, because this 1" edge will not be in the way. You might find yourself looking for other places to use this thing... it's a super bargain! P.S. Watch the price on this item if you're not in a rush... varies between $15 - $20. on Amazon.

Question: How many stars did this person eventually give this product?

I read most of the reviews on this scale before I bought it. Have had it for about 3 weeks so far. Works great. Appears to be precise. Digits easy to read.I downrated to 4 stars for two reasons:1. Large bowls cover the readout. It they had made the scale slightly taller, and changed the angle of the readout to closer to vertical (as my old scale was), then no matter how large the bowl, the scale could be read.2. I prefer a separate on-off switch from the tare switch. This design requires the user to press the on/off/tare switch once to zero it, and then a second time to turn the scale off. An unnecessary extra step.

Question: where is the mail left to remind the husband?

I adore my husband. But he is always hunting for his keys before work. He also has trouble remembering to take outgoing mail to the mailbox, even if I place it on the table beside the front door OR stick it in between the door and doorframe so that it falls out and lands at his feet as he leaves the house. He just steps right over it and I've got to run it out like an Olympic track star when I hear the mail truck come around the corner.I installed this above the light switch next to the front door, and he can hang his keys and grab the outgoing mail in one swipe. He also has no excuse for not taking the dog out with his leash because it's in there, too.For any wife of a forgetful hubby, this is a real godsend.

Question: How often does the reviewer use this fan used at home?

I had a tower fan for over 8 years and it suddenly died and they didn't make it anymore. So I searched and found the Lasko 2551, decided to give it a try. It comes just needing to be attached to the base, which is easy. It's nice and tall, so half the air isn't blown into the floor. I use this fan constantly when I am at home, especially for white noise to block out other noise in the home and for sleeping soundly. For me, the fan is almost too quiet. It's sturdy, doesn't tip over easily, and has a nice cord length.

Question: what was one of the items used as a test for the sharpener?

I've gone through several powered and manual sharpening tools looking for something that will put an edge on my knives that my father, a retired chef, won't scoff at, and this is by far the best I've found. And when you factor in its low price, this steel is an unbeatable value. I was able to put a razor sharp edge on everything from a 30 year old chinese cleaver to my wife's expensive Henkels to a set of as-seen-on-tv "never needs sharpening" knives using this steel. I was surprised by how quickly it sharpens - just takes a few passes. It does take off quite a bit of metal, works better for sharpening than honing. I'll keep my ceramic rod for honing.

Question: What works and is stylish?

The coffee maker works and it is very stylish. I have had issues with the water pump after removing and refilling the tank. I often have to power it off and then on. The easiest solution to the pump problem is to not take the water chamber off of the base and just refill it with a pitcher as needed. Also living in a higher altitude, we needed to turn down the temperature and that seemed to help a lot too.If you have any travel mugs (like from Starbucks) that hold small or medium size coffee they don't fit with the coffee maker. Granted we just use a coffee mug and then transfer the contents, it would be nice not to have to use two items to make 1 cup of coffee or tea.

Question: What is being reviewed?

I have had the Zojirushi coffee maker for over 6 months now. If I had it to do over again, I'd purchase a different brand of coffee maker. Here's why: The lid on the carafe is too difficult to open and once open the coffee pours out too slowly. The coffee holder must be placed a certain way or you'll wake up to counters and floors full of spilled coffee. If even a little bit of coffee overflows the filter it is certain to clog the carafe and once again, counters and floors are running over with coffee. My opinion is that the Zojirushi is overpriced, under-engineered, and not a great choice.

Question: Where are NordicWare products manufactured?

I've been a longtime customer of NordicWare products due to their ease of use, durability, and the fact that they're still made with pride in the USA. Most of my prior NordicWare purchases were Bundt pans, but I've recently expanded into baking pies, so I purchased a covered pie pan.No longer do you have to worry about storing those pesky meringue pies; this high-domed lid eliminates squashed meringues or smashed sky-high toppings. The heavy-duty aluminum pie pan browns and bakes evenly and is a snap to wash. The plastic cover prevents odor absorption from other smelly fridge co-inhabitants, and preserves those perfect peaks on your lemon meringue or the lovely latticework crust on your cherry pie. If you're a frequent pie baker (or pie giver), you owe it to yourself (and your pies) to have one or more of these gems in your kitchen!

Question: What is great for cleaning furniture?

This is a very good vacuum cleaner! It has lots of power and of course it is bag-less as well. This good because you can "see" that it work and bad because you can "see" how dirty your carpet is.It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord. I can use it to clean my living room and two bedrooms without changing plugs. It also has a long hose to get into those smaller areas, the Turbo Tool is great for cleaning furniture and the edge to edge cleaning means it gets right up the edge of where you are cleaning.When you are done, the Dirt cup releases easy and it empties from the bottom, so just press a button and all the dirt just drops out.The one con is that is it big and bulky, there are some places it just can't get into and it is heavy, so if you have a lot of carpet, it could get tiresome pushing this vacuum around.But overall, this is the best vacuum I have owned and definitely do recommend it.

Question: How do pinking shears cut?

Pinking shears are a necessity for anyone who sews. They cut a zig-zag edge, which helps prevent fraying. Whether you're working with fragile fabrics, or making doll clothes with narrow seam allowances, or just want a clean finish to your garment seams--you'll need a pair of pinking shears in your toolbox. I recommend them to all of my students.These pinking shears in particular are great. The handles are soft and the automatic spring action is a lifesaver. With regular pinking shears, you have to open and shut the blades with every stroke. This might not seem like much trouble, but pinking shears are heavier than regular scissors and more difficult to use. If you have any kind of arthritis in your hands, you'll want a pair with the spring action. Or even if you just have a large project ahead of you, with lots of fabric to be cut out. You'll be grateful for the spring action by the time you're done.That said, these pinking shears are a bit touchy. On average, they seem to last about three years before needing replacement. This is my third pair in ten years, but then again, I do cut a lot of thick fabrics, like denim and twill. They really don't like that. They'll do the job, but they get stuck at times and you have to pry the blades open.For those who aren't aware, they do require cleaning and oiling to keep the spring action running smoothly. Use a pipe cleaner to dust in between the blades, then place a drop or two of sewing machine oil onto the round part between the blades, near the handle. Then act as if you're cutting something, so the oil can work its way into the gears. Make sure you cut a piece of scrap fabric with them after oiling, so you don't accidentally drip any excess oil onto your nice fabric. A sign that they're getting old and need to be replaced is that the spring action stops working and you find yourself oiling them constantly, trying to get them to work.I give them four stars, because they are a pain to use when the blades stick. And you'd think they'd last longer than three years without needing to be replaced. But they're such a necessity in the sewing room, you really can't live without them. Highly recommended!

Question: Where can this product be found besides Amazon?

I have this rice cooker for about a year now, and I simply love it! The rice cooker can cook enough rice for 4 people at once, which is enough for a single gal like me.It does a pretty good job of keeping the rice warm, also. I can cook a batch of rice for both lunch and dinner.what I really like is the timer - which allows me to wake up to a hot pot of thick soup of rice in the morning.The interior pot is non-stick, but I would recommand you to take care it and wash it by hand. The dish-washer can be kind of harsh for it.I can't believe that Amazon is offering this product. Ususally, you can only purchase it in China town. I have to ask my mother to bring one for me from the other side of the earth!

Question: What is the bread free of?

I use this with a double recipe of gluten free bread to make six small loaves of bread which I stick in the fridge until eaten. Since gluten free bread tends to continue to shrink after baking, my idea was that the "bowling ball" shape of these loaves would shrink equally in all directions, and still look attractive -- and that is proving out in practice pretty well, with only the bottom flat of the loaves buckling in slightly. So, I end up with very attractive and well-browned bread to eat, none of that unsightly "shrunken head" appearance of gluten free bread which one buys in the refrigerated section of the grocery store!

Question: Did it meet your requirements?

What I like:1. easy on my latex free dishwashing gloves which are not cheap.2. well written instructions/pictures. a bit tricky at first, but a breeze now3. it stays clean. The blade does not get gooky with dried food and require cleaning4. as easy to crank as any other manuel. electricity free and fits in a drawer5. even works on pop-top cansWhat I don't like - keep your old manual around1. does not work on all cans, especially those really small2. can not use lid to drain liquids. while this may be good for tuna in decreasing the amount of mayo, it's a problem with fruits and other canned goods.I know a product should only get 5 stars if I have no dislikes, but this met my requirements for it 100%. I wanted a manual can opener that would help encourage me to recylce more.As far as durability, I'll have to wait and see. Just got it for Christmas 2009.10/2011 I still love this and it has held up very well.

Question: How warm was the weather when the item was tried out?

This is a great product. I fill the ice compartment partially with ice cubes, then fill in around those with crushed ice. It stayed cold for a LONG time (3-5 hours) on an 85 degree day. It's perfect for anything that isn't "juicy", in other words veggies and that kind of thing. The compartments are vented, so if you put anything at all drippy in them, it goes thru onto the ice. (I had marinated some shrimp and the marinade ended up in the ice compartment.) It isn't a huge deal because there are three different ice compartments, each with two vented trays above them, if that makes sense. I just made sure that the two upper portions that drained into that ice compartment both contained the shrimp, so there wouldn't be any flavor contamination. (I hope that made sense!) Anyway - I highly recommend this product and I am definitely going to purchase more Prodyne acrylic on-ice serving pieces. I purchased a salad bowl that had an ice compartment from a local store and the quality was no where near what I received from Prodyne.

Question: What kind of foods did the author mention might get through the air holes?

First it does the very basic of what it should- keep food from splattering everywhere. But what I didn't count on, which is the best bonus of all, is that because of the food being contained under the cover, it cooks the food with a little additional steam. My food has come out moist, evenly heated, and a much better texture/flavor than microwaving without it. Now I microwave everything under it, not just splatter-prone food.I took a cue from others and just store mine in the microwave so I haven't really had to deal with whether it's easy to pop or close.Very very happy about this purchase!Update: Forgot to mention that the air holes will provide opportunities for small splatters to escape. Not a whole bunch, but a tomato or potato soup might still get through the holes. Just FYI... Also, it's big enough to cover a large plate. It sits on top of the plate, but unless you have food all the way to the edge, it's fine.

Question: What problem did the reviewer have initially with the product?

Both ice mold cracked at bottom within a few weeks. I think poor quality. Had to return to get replacement. Otherwise it works great. Shaved ice is fine and pretty fast. From time to time, when it seems slow to shave, remove and rinse blade area because sometimes ice builds up at where the blade is. Put pressure on where the blade is.

Question: How did it scare the dog?

This is a delightful kettle. I like its looks and I like its quiet whistle. My last kettle scared the dog with its shrillness. Some people have criticized how the water sputters when pouring boiling water. They've almost scalded the baby, etc. First rule with a kettle is to bring the cup to the kettle, not to carry a boiling vessel across the room, etc. Also, they must be "dumping" the water, rather than pouring. I have not had any problems and am very happy with my purchase.

Question: what is the manufacturer of this press?

The press itself is perfect for garlic. The only problem is that the handles become lose and water gets in. It has become a pain to clean being that I have to remember to take it apart when it goes in the dishwasher if I want a sanitary clean press to come out. And when I do forget I usually get water leaking as a I go to put it away, and it's not clean inside because it is lose enough for water to gather in while in the washer, and needs to be cleaned again. I did a lot of research before purchasing this press and given the ratings took the chance. You can't really predict something like this will happen and its more of a nuisance than anything. I really love OXO products and hope they can fix this problem.

Question: What is the problem with The Dorkfood with respect to temperature setting?

The Dorkfood is cheap and it works. So there's that. Pair it with a bucket heater or a crockpot with a dial and you're good to go.There are a couple downsides. For one, it's Fahrenheit only, whereas most sous vide recipes are in Celsius, so be prepared to type "50 c to f" into google every time you use it.For another, the UI is kinda crappy. When you hit the temp button, you could not possibly want to do anything other than change the temp. What does it do? Nothing. You have to hold down the button for what feels like a minute before you actually can.These are minor gripes though, and as a result I give it a solid 4 stars.

Question: How many round holes are on the other side of the zester?

The OXO "Good Grips" Lemon Zester has a very good grip indeed. It has a fat handle that gives your hand good leverage when using the single tooth to get long fat strips of lemon zest. Flip the zester over and there is a narrow row of 5 or 6 small round holes that (with some pressure) create nice thin short strips of lemon zest. This tool would also work with unripe papaya to shave into pickled preserves or other papaya recipes. It's not the fastest zester, but it's a lot simpler to clean after using, compared to any larger screen-type grater.

Question: What does the package say?

This tortilla warmer really works. I find that it keeps the tortillas warm through our dinner. There are never any left to see if this will work an hour! It is perfect for warming them in the microwave and keeping them warm through the meal. I don't have a clue if it works for an hour, like the package stated. I'll never know because it does not take us that long to eat. Great Item!

Question: What materials of containers can be used in the warmer?

Great product! I have to say this lunch warmer heats food quite evenly, much better than a microwave. My husband and I keep stash of healthy leftovers in 2 cup round glass containers in the freezer to grab and go. These work beautifully with the lunch warmer. The night before, I choose lunch for the next day, put it in the frig to partially thaw and my lunch is ready to slide into the crock pot warmer once I get to work the next morning. No spills on the way to work as it is partially frozen, and the 2 cup amount is below the max fill line on the metal insert. I must say I am looking forward to our next road trip as I plan taking 2 crock pots, a cooler and an inverter to help minimize the monetary and weight gain expense of travel. I've read complaints about the cord length (3 ft), but any longer would make it awkward to wind and carry. Liked this product so much, I bought 7 of them as gifts, all greatly appreciated....even got a lunch text photo from my son, the engineer and a big thank you from my Marine! Enjoy

Question: Fans of what movie would lie this pizza cutter?

I just received the Star Trek Pizza cutter today (so exciting!) (yes I know...total geek!). Actually I purchased this as a gift, but now I want one for myself!! First off, it was really nicely packaged, and I was kind of surprised by that. Usually when you buy something in this $25 price range it comes in some old cardboard box in like bubble wrap. But this was in a really nice box with that spongy foam stuff.....so kudos to their marketing people for the packaging! It was all shiny and silvery, and I'm thinking.....I wouldn't want to get this dirty cutting pizza! LOL But seriously I'm writing this review because I myself always read them before buying a product and I trust what people say. I haven't actually tried cutting pizza with this (since it's a gift), but this is such a cool item for the price, that I don't think you will be at all disappointed. Even if this thing doesn't actually cut pizza (which it seems pretty sharp so I think it will).....I wouldn't even care, because it made me smile just looking at it in the box! (for those fellow Star Trek lovers, you know exactly what I mean). If you or anyone you know loves Star Trek, then I totally recommend this cutter. You'll love it!

Question: What type of product is the person reviewing?

Not only do these BedVoyage sheets look great but the super soft feel is fabulous! The bamboo fiber has a cool feel like high thread count cotton sheets but are creamy soft. These sheets are like a dream come true for me as I like the cool feel of cotton and their soft cozy comfort.We bought these because they are made from bamboo a renewable resource and now we will buy another set because they are comfortable and beautiful. These should be ideal for use all year long as the fabric has a thermal regulating feel to it.I see that BedVoyage also has duvet covers on Amazon and one of those will be on my next shopping list.
