Question: How much does the product weigh?

I purchased one of these two years ago then a 2nd unit last year. They are heavy little units but work exceptionally well for back-up heat or when you don't want to run the central unit. Whisper quiet, they are able to heat an average size room to the point of discomfort within a short period of time. Great price, solid construction, durable and quiet. Totally pleased by this purchase...just keep in mind, we are in the sunshine state so heat isn't as burdened as it would be up north.

Question: What does the product not have?

I enjoy having something like this that enables me to make my very own kettle korn, and this is a pretty good choice. I'd much rather be able to capture the taste at home of some of the county fair kettle morns, but until I can invest in a machine and purchase the supplies of those vendors, this will have to do -- really, one can't complain much about four stars. At least nutritionally, it has nearly all microwavable kettle morns beat by a mile because it's straight ingredients, no trans fat, which the USDA has now deemed to be unsafe in any amount (of course, sugar is gaining on its heals with a similar legacy). This is certainly better than that.

Answer: trans fat

Question: What sort of kitchen utensil is this review about?

I have mixed feelings on this product because it has some very good aspects and one very irritating aspect.The good:Using this product on a non-stick pan is perfect, because the silicone glides against the pan without any possibility of scratching. I use this whisk for scrambled eggs every week and they come out perfectly each time. The whisk is aesthetically pleasing, lightweight, and when put together it's just a twist of the base to open the whisk, or you can use it in the "flat mode" as well - it all depends on what you're cooking.It's also very easy to clean the product becomes it comes apart completely. You pull the base node out which unlocks all of the whisks and they can be removed and washed separately. Unfortunately, this is where the downside comes into play...putting it back together.There's only ONE way the base node fits back in, and if you get the whisk parts misaligned in even the slightest way it will not lock back into place without a bit of difficulty. In one case I had to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to turn the metal locking pin at the bottom so I could snap the base node back in. This one aspect has made me avoid taking the whisk apart to clean it - just toss it in the dishwasher or run under hot soapy water in the sink to clean up the brushes. And...unless you're submerging it in some stew or soup, you really do not need to take it completely apart to clean it.Overall I am mixed. It works well as a whisk or in "flat mode" but trying to put it back together after dismantling to clean...yeah not so much.

Question: what would definitely burn if you put it on and walked away?

This toaster is just ok. It does toast evenly. The biggest thing about it that I don't like is that the light-dark control doesn't seem to do too much. Even on the lightest setting, it toasts quite long, so you always have to stand over it. I've definitely had things overly toasted on the lowest setting. You wouldn't want to put a Poptart in and walk away, or anything like that. It would definitely burn. Even on defrost it toasts too long; if you try to defrost a toaster waffle, by the time it pops up on its own, it's burnt. :( It's hard to get things out of, too, even with the lifter feature. It doesn't boost an english muffin up high enough to reach, so I'm always having to unplug it to get things out with a fork. I wouldn't buy it again and wouldn't recommend,

Question: What constantly becomes jammed?

Pros:Can be used with no powerThe price is rightEasy clean upCons:Grind consistency is lacking. I've been playing with the course setting for days and days and cannot get a consistently sized grind for my French Press. There are large chunks of bean in with the grinds. My electric blade "grinder" has the same consistency and all I have to do is push a button and walk away.The nut on the top always comes loose when grinding. I have to stop every few turns and re-tighten it or the handle will eventually fall off.The hopper jams a lot if the grinder is left on the counter top. I have to pick it up so that the motion of turning the handle will cause the beans to fall into the grinder.

Question: What issue does the writer have with the size of product?

All these 4 1/2 inch patty makers are too small for a decent sized burger. At 4.5 inches diameter, using ground beef that is 15% fat, the cooked burger will shrink down to about 3 inch diameter, which is too small for an adult-sized burger, and looks silly in an average sized bun. When you buy the pre-formed 1/4 lb patties in the supermarket, that come in the poly-sleeve, they are 5 inches in diameter. That is a good minimum diameter to start with. 5 1/2 inches would be much better, which would cook down to about 4 inches, which looks good on a bun. But try to find a 5 1/2 inch burger press, or even a 5 inch burger press. There aren't any. Just these useless 4.5 inch burger presses. I have 2 different styles, and whether one produces ripples, or the other produces a center dimple, has NO effect on reducing the shrinkage of the cooked patty. I am thinking that using a rolling pin on some ground beef, on a silicone mat,or waxed paper, to get the desired thickness of patty, and cutting out 5.5 inch pattys with a heavy duty 5.5 inch cookie cutter, is the only way to go. Why no one has made a decent-sized burger press as yet, is baffling. But if you like grilled/broiled burgers, that look good on a med-large bun, these kiddie-sized patty makers just don't do it.

Question: What type of covers are these?

I have an "old fashioned" stove with electric burners versus the new-fangled smooth top ranges. I love to change the look of my kitchen by simply getting new burner covers every now and then. Unfortunately, the choice of covers locally is slim. Fortunately, Amazon has an amazing selection. So many that it's hard to pick which ones I want. These barnyard covers are excellent and have stayed clean so far after almost 2 months of heavy use. A very cool look for my kitchen. I highly recommend them if you like a little bit of a country look.

Question: Does the author suggest anything for the accessory lid?

If you love your Keurig because it's a great cup of coffee but not particularly partial to any one of the available k-cups then this is a money saving must-have. Use your own coffee grounds and make a delicious cup of coffee in your Keurig with this reusable filter.My tips are to make sure the lid is on tight. I made a real mess the first ime that I used it because the lid wasn't screwed on good. And don't overfill it, for some reason it doesn't make as much coffee when the reusable filter is too full.I haven't had any problem with any coffee regarding whether it was coarsely ground or fine.Overall, really glad I bought this! I can buy just plain coffee grounds or any of the flavored ground coffees available and brew in my Keurig which is much cheaper!

Question: What's the most negative feature of this iron, according to the reviewer?

I've had this iron for well over a year and have found it to be a fine performer. Heats fast, lots of steam, not too heavy. The removable water chamber is not just a gimmick but helps in refilling the iron. One drawback is the very small capacity of the water tank. Looking a the design of the iron, there appears to be plenty of room to have made the tank larger.This iron also has a retractable cord which is a very handy feature.All-in-all, you won't go wrong with this iron unless you do A LOT or ironing...then you'll find yourself making lots of trips to the sink for a refill.

Question: What do they have to do to some fruit to make it fit?

I find it to be a pain in the neck to clean. Along with that, some fruit, I have to cut up just so it fits. I wish the chute was a little bit bigger. Also, if you aren't VERY careful and don't place the carafe just right, it will leak so make sure you set it in there properly. I did notice, as I'm dropping fruit in, sometimes it spits back up from the chute even if I've waited and let it finish with the previous one. In my personal opinion, if you're going to splurge and get one of these, go with a more expensive brand. This one isn't bad, but I don't feel it was worth the money.

Question: What does the reviewer recommend others get?

I love mason jars. I don't can any homemade jams or jellies or pickles, but I juice and then separate it into single servings in mason jars. When I'm ready to drink my juice lunch, I switch the flat disk part of the lid with Ecojarz Stainless Steel Drink Top for Small Mouth Canning Jars, put the band back on and voila, my mason jar is now a convenient to-go sippy cup (or I use the metal straw that comes with the Ecojarz) with my homemade juice or drink of choice. I recommend getting the Ball Color 6-Pack Lids and Bands, Blue to go with these. The aluminum lids are ok, but the blue version of them is gorgeous with these jars!

Question: What is the price of the repair to the mixer?

I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. It died while making cookie dough. This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically.The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. I never expected miracles: bread flour is hard to knead and I'm careful about kneading times and quantities. This is not a professional machine, it's a home appliance. Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.So, I have reluctantly come to agree with the Kitchenaid bashers here. Based on my experience, the current crop of mixers is not high quality and my next mixer will not be Kitchenaid, sorry to say.It's sad to watch an iconic brand destroy its reputation.

Question: What culture does the reviewer's grandmother come from?

"The heat will not spread evenly" when my 80 year old Chinese grandmother first saw this wok and she was right.When you're using this Wok on an electric stove the heat is completely concentrated at the bottom, so things get super hot, stuck, and then eventually burn at the bottom.I eventually got a Green Earth Wok by Ozeri. I know it doesn't come with a lid and it is more expensive but that Wok lets me have the electric burner running with red hot coils and not burn my food at the bottom. With Chinese cooking you need heat and this one from Cuisinart doesn't spread it evenly.

Question: How many stars would the user give to the product?

I purchased these glasses as a Christmas gift for my son and daughter in law. I bought the shot glasses and iced teas' as well (they may not call them ice teas' but they are long and tall). Anyway, glasses are good looking albeit a bit different but that's why we all like 'em. They feel good in your hand I a imagine they won't get dropped as often as others because of the indentations. Nice weight but I would have given them five stars if they were just a bit heavier and a mil thicker but I have no complaints because these are reasonably priced for what you get. Shot glasses are perfect. I would give 4.5 stars but you can't. I have been looking for other gifts for the kids because I want to keep the glasses. I know it's terrible but if anyone has any ideas...

Answer: 4.5 stars

I would give 4.5 stars but you can't.

I purchased these glasses as a Christmas gift for my son and daughter in law. I bought the shot glasses and iced teas' as well (they may not call them ice teas' but they are long and tall). Anyway, glasses are good looking albeit a bit different but that's why we all like 'em. They feel good in your hand I a imagine they won't get dropped as often as others because of the indentations. Nice weight but I would have given them five stars if they were just a bit heavier and a mil thicker but I have no complaints because these are reasonably priced for what you get. Shot glasses are perfect. <hl> I would give 4.5 stars but you can't. <hl> I have been looking for other gifts for the kids because I want to keep the glasses. I know it's terrible but if anyone has any ideas...

Question: Is the product machine washable?

I have a young toddler who just started taking "big boy baths" in the tub, and this is perfect for him. (If there was a product that would make him sit down when he bathes, that'd be even more impressive :-) I was looking for something that didn't look like it was a medical product. The blue one provides a little style, and goes well with my bathroom decor.My husband travels periodically to places that manufacture rubber products, and the odor of the new product is par for the course. There's nothing the manufacturer would be able to do to remove the odor, except to use it a little like I did anyway. The smell fades. After you are done using the tub, turn on the shower as hot as possible and rinse the mat. You should be doing this anyway to keep residue from building up, but it'll make the odor go away faster. Also, it indicates on the product packaging that the item is machine-washable, so if it's important to you to get rid of any noticeable odor before you use it, throw it in the washing machine.I recommend this product.

Question: What type of food does this oven produce outstanding results on?

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 does the author say is a problem with the mattress when moving it?

I've had the opportunity to review a number of memory foam mattresses. This one is neither the best nor the worst.I like that the bed is firm, but not too firm, as with any other memory foam. This model forms to the contour of my body great and is easy to get comfortable in. My sleep quality has improved, I wake up less at night and I never wake up feeling sore.On the other hand it is one of the mattresses that gets hot at night. Prior to this model I had a mattress that focused on staying cool at night. When moving the mattress around it's awkward and heavy, so if you plan on moving soon or you like to rearrange furniture often, keep that in mind; this also pertains to the packaging - it's too large for your standard car. The edges of the mattrees are hard and a pain to sit on. The smell took a while to get used to, also.Because of the heat the bed puts off overnight causing me to wake up sweating, I had to give this 3 stars. I absolutely HATE waking up sweating and this was the deal breaker for me. I had to revert back to my old mattress and put this one back in storage.

Question: Does the blade collect food particles when in use?

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 rating did this get?

I can only give this a 3. Tools are to small-the motor has a w h i n e to it that drives me nuts! The motor also seems to get very hot--maybe I got a dud and just don't know it. The hoses are stiff-no flexibility at all. I do like a canister vacuum though as opposed to an upright-at least this one follows me around and doesn't knock me out when I pull it along. All in all it is an OK product but they could have done a much better job with the design--you must wrap the cord on the bottom for storage-not a useful feature at all--does it work ok? Sure it does. Should you buy it? Only if you don't mind all the above draw backs.

Question: What kind of milk will they use it for?

I bought this to replace an old strainer I had used for years that had belonged to my Mother. This OXO strainer was the closest I could find to what I had been using. It seems very well made and the mesh is secure in the handle and does not push out on the sides which will keep food from catching up under the rim.This is actually nicer than I expected it to be, I like it. It will be used for straining seeds out of fresh squeezed lemon/lime juices, pulp from making almond milk, and for any of the smaller jobs that don't require a larger strainer. The little loop on the end helps this balance on bowls making it easy to pour your food without spilling. The handle has a nice grip that doesn't get hot and is easy to hold. I have no doubt that this will last for years.

Question: How long does it take to get pepper out?

I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) My husband became obsessed with black pepper after he met me (I used to coat everything in it) but he uses the crappy pepper that has zero flavor when we go out to eat. So I bought him this (and so I could secretly use it because stale pepper is a pet peeve of mine) Well it's cute, and it works, however it's very difficult to grind the peppercorns and really doesn't put much out. I pretty much have to grind for 5 minutes to get enough to speckle anything. Cute, but I think next time I will spring for the pricier one and hope it works better.

Question: what material is the product made from?

I have a decent number of Umbra products, so I already knew these weren't some solid metal bird holders. That said, they still feel quite cheap and light for hanger/hooks. For the most part, I think you can only use these as decor. When I try to hang coats on them, the bird is too shallow to securely hold a jacket or something thicker than a dog leash. If you do get something to hang off of it, the plastic is really light and will kind of jump up when you grab your coat if it is not super securely fastened onto your wall as flush as possible. My next problem is with the key magnet. The magnet is strong enough for a keychain with maybe 3 keys and nothing else. If you have any extra doodads or more keys, it probably won't be able to hold it and the magnet usually just pops right out along with your keys. This is not a well-designed hook or key holder, and it's not really cute enough to be this impractical either, so it gets 2 stars. I don't recommend.

I like Zenith products because you are getting a good product for a decent price and they are pretty durable which is nice for bathroom use.Pros-heavy duty--looks nice--good for removing bathtub/shower clutter--I have had the product for over a month and have not yet noticed any rust.Cons-slides down shower head but does not fall off, not hard thing to fix but annoying--bottom shelf of rack is small in height so it does not fix much, more for razor, bar of soap and very small bottles--shampoo bottles barely fit on the top rack, this is probably because I have a large custom shower head, so if you have a large shower head you may want to find another product-

Question: what is the model of the mixer?

It's a beater, one of the ones that normally comes with a newly purchased KitchenAid Mixer (ours was a KSM-150). My wife and lost ours a the move and opted to replace it. Sadly, it leaves a lot to be desired. Even if coated with a non-stick cooking spray, 90% of the time spent mixing, you have to stop after a few minutes to either scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula or batter spreader, un-clump the beater itself, or to a texture check to make sure that there isn't raw flour, sugar, or anything else stuck to the bottom or sides. After reading reviews, we chose this: (...) - much better!

Question: When does the person use the product?

I ordered two of these and they both fit perfectly side by side on my large cookie sheet.I use them for baking chips (kale, yams, potato, etc), and these allow the air to circulate, which has resulted in nice, crispy chips EVERY TIME (without having to turn over half way through)!Easy to clean and durable. Really wish I got these sooner!

Question: How many ounces do the giant cans of tomatoes have?

This is by far the best and easiest can opener I've ever used. I have used it on all sizes, from tiny cans of tomato paste to the giant 128 oz cans of tomatoes and it has worked flawlessly with all of them.You simply set the opener on top and turn the handle...as soon as the resistance stops you can easily lift up the can top with the smoothest edge I've ever seen created by an opener. Not having to 'squeeze' any handles is great and I personally find it very easy to turn. It also looks great and has good feel to it...a feeling that it will be durable and last.I personally say pay a little more for something that is quality and will last. As far as can openers go, this fits that bill perfectly.

Question: What is one negative aspect of the product?

I bought this for a friend to use at her barn to make her horse soup in the winter. She had it at home for a few days before she remembered to take it to the barn. Once it was at the barn for a few days, she had to call and ask for another for her house. Once you have an electric kettle, you'll never know how you lived without one. Only down side, the horse is now very demanding that she get soup, even when it isn't that cold out.

Question: What do they like about it?

I own this frother, and it works well with the Nespresso espresso machine. It doesn't warm the milk too hot, which is nice when making a quick cafe latte. I like the spinning mechanism in the frother better than the Keurig, b/c it is easier to clean, and it doesn't burn the milk unlike the Keurig. The spinning mechanism is at the bottom, and it pops out when the frother is done warming up the milk. I originally thought that this was a flaw, but that is how the mechanism works. The spinner magnetically touches the bottom of the frother. Add warm water to clean the frother and it is ready for use again.

Answer: the spinning mechanism in the frother

It doesn't warm the milk too hot, which is nice when making a quick cafe latte. <hl> I like the spinning mechanism in the frother better than the Keurig, b/c it is easier to clean, and it doesn't burn the milk unlike the Keurig. <hl> The spinning mechanism is at the bottom, and it pops out when the frother is done warming up the milk. I originally thought that this was a flaw, but that is how the mechanism works. The spinner magnetically touches the bottom of the frother. Add warm water to clean the frother and it is ready for use again.

Question: What is the maximum area that the portable A/C unit able to cool?

When you first see the price tag on this portable A/C unit, you might suffer a bit of sticker shock, but let me tell you right out - it is worth every penny. First the portability. Yes, the item in question weighs roughly 100 lbs, but the portability doesn't have to do with the weight, but rather the ability to have it anywhere in your house or apartment rather than shoved in a window. The portable in the title doesn't imply lightweight to some, so I'm making the clarification here.The portable unit covers about 550 square feet, which is wonderful if you have a small apartment, loft or studio. It's also wonderful to have if you live in an apartment complex where AC is only on from say, May to August and you experience a heat wave or you live in the South where it's still warm long after Summer ends. In any of these cases this A/C unit will be a godsend. This would also be great on a screened in porch.Now even though you don't need to put the unit in a window, you do need to use one for the Window, which again limits the actual portability for the unit. The length of the exhaust kit is not very long and there's no real way to lengthen it, so keep that in mind when considering to purchase this.Now I have to again state that the A/C unit works wonderfully. it gets the room or area un question quite cool and it does so quickly. This probably won't be a replacement for central air, but It's a far better choice than the old fashioned clunky boxes you stick in your windows.

Question: Is this coffee pot good for daily use?

Love it. Beautiful french press. Perfect size for either one or two. If drinking coffee alone, the amount is little enough that you won't waste any, and if you have a friend, you'll still have enough for the both of you. Materials-wise, this is perfect. I've had many french presses where the pressure of plunging spills coffee out everywhere and over everything. Not this one. The seal is good and feels well made. It shows no signs of age after using daily for months now.The one downside is that the press does little to no insulating, meaning your coffee gets cold fairly quickly.

Question: How would the person characterize the pan's appearance?

I acquired this wonderful griddle pan in a strange way: an awful old, thin griddle was used as a noisemaker to drive a pack of raccoons from our back yard. I didn't expect it to be warped beyond repair because it was banged with a stick, but it was. I never liked the thing anyway, and was glad to replace it.This griddle pan is aesthetically beautiful. The non-stick material is as tough as iron. I've made omelettes in it twice, and was told by the eater that the pan had made a huge difference in the quality of the omelette. I've also made large crepes in it, and the pan has made them much easier to flip and remove. I highly recommend this pan, even if it is a bit expensive. Over the years of quality performance and not having to replace it, it will be worth its price. I don't recommend using it to scare racoons, though.Actually, some of the prices available through Amazon are very good!!

Question: How do they describe the room after using DampRid

We have a small room converted to an office, on the second story of our house. The room does not have the best circulation, and in the middle of the summer (hot and humid days) it got really damp feeling in there.Based on a recommendation from a Home Depot associate, decided to give DampRid a try -- and have been very happy ever since. We put the container in the room, and about every few weeks or so we dump out more than a cup full of water down the drain. These refills do the same job that the original pack did, and the room feel and smells much better now.Guess we will have to figure out why the issue occurs (maybe need to replace the 13 year old windows seals?), but until then these do the job.

Question: In what way is the decanting process described?

I have just started to drink a bit more wine lately, and although I'm certainly no wine connoisseur, I do know enough to realize that your red wine needs to decant a bit for optimum taste. However, the decanting process seemed like such a hassle - who really wants to spend time pulling a decanter off a shelf just to have to wash it later - plus, you have to wait, and as Inigo Montoya so eloquently said, "I hate waiting." Now, the problem is solved! Attach this aerator to your bottle, pour your glass, and enjoy right away. No waiting. That makes me happy!

Question: What shape is the item?

What I like best about these is the oval shape that really does fit into tight places. Also, there is no lip between the handle and the spoon, so you can easily "sweep" a measurement of a dry ingredient flat.Measurements are clearly and cleanly stamped into the handle and will not wear away over time. After owning these for a day, my old round plastic spoon with the worn off screen printed measurements went in the trash.One word of caution - these ship with a ball/clasp (dogtag style) chain looping these together, along with the standard keyring pictured. Remove the chain, as it will rust easily and stain the spoons.

Question: when did the writer get the product?

I got my Mint about a month ago and am glad to have it. I use it to damp mop bare floors after the roomba has vacuumed. It works with ordinary terry wash cloths (which I use for all my cleaning) and picks up a lot of dirt.As another reviewer mentioned, it will not get into the cracks and cervices of a tile floor so you still have to get the grout clean yourself. It is excellent on wide-board bamboo floors - I use just a damp cloth as all solvents will build up over time.I found it a bit hard to get started as the North Star connection can be fussy in odd-shaped spaces (as in between my area rugs)- it seems to work if I break the room down into imaginary rectangles where the bare areas are. It also had trouble in the kitchen -- it won't connect if siting on my stone counters but was OK on the edge of the stove.It does a good job avoiding things and not running up on carpets, etc. It is very quiet. As another reviewer mentioned, it only does about 2 hours and then needs to charge over night.I like it as, for all its current drawbacks, it does more mopping than I would do. However, if you are not in a hurry, I'd wait for the next edition. I'm sure it will get better and better.

Question: Where the noodles are stored?

For the noodle maker, this is much faster and easier than using a pasta machine. The dough is very wet, so it goes through the holes quickly and gets sliced off by the square box, and right into the boiling water or broth they go. Cook them, then dehydrate them, and store them in a jar - that's how I make them, and this tool is fun to use! Do try cooking your spaetzle in Knorr's vegetable stock - the gel in a little pot - it is so delicious!

Question: Is there a difference in the speed of cooking?

I guess I'm just not as crazy about this muffin baker as these other folks. I got it at a great price, so figured, what the heck? But I don't find that it cooks the muffins as nicely as in the oven, the bottoms tend to be rather hard and I find the muffin comes out "denser" if you will than normally. But mostly, I think it's just a waste of another kitchen appliance that doesn't serve a heck of a lot of purpose. It's just not versatile enough for me and it's bigger than it looks in the picture! Quite large when you compare to the size of say, a 6-muffin tin. I suppose it will save on having to start your oven, and the muffins do cook faster and cleanup is quicker. I guess I just don't find the regular method all that much a hassle!

Question: What espresso maker is it compatible with?

This device does exactly what it advertises, at an extremely reasonable price. It's also very compact and easy to store, easy to clean, and narrow enough to reach into narrower bottles or cups. I tried a devoted frothing unit with pitcher and was disappointed, then chose this and have been extremely happy.Use this frother, along with a Bialetti stovetop espresso maker and your own skim milk, plus whatever other ingredients you like, and you have Starbucks for about a quarter (or less) of the retail price.For me, it's Illy Moka Normale coffee in the Bialetti, microwaved skim milk, one long shot of sugar-free Hershey's chocolate syrup, and a dollop of Starbucks peppermint syrup, then froth with the Aerolatte. Starbucks Peppermint Mocha at less than a dollar and 130 calories instead of 4.79 and 350 calories.

Question: What did I do to my aged and shabby oven glove?

I had some cloth potholders and I had a set of ove gloves. One of my ove gloves was getting ratty and old and i tossed it. Since they are $19.99 a piece I thought I would give these less expensive ($11 a set) potholders a try. I like the silicone products as they are very heat resistant. These are nice that you can take something out of the oven and use the pot holder as a trivet. However you must be careful because it can be difficult to bend the squares and they don't fold evenly. What I tend to do is pull one side out by the edge and place the other potholder underneath the dish and move it to the table that way rather than grip each end. It's impossible to take something out of the toaster oven because the racks are too close and you'll either burn your hand or melt the pot holder. I do find them very useful for say a skillet on the stove top that you can just wrap around it. Overall I think I will get myself a new ove glove as the other one is now getting pretty bad too.

Question: How much weight can it hold?

I saw this same brand and same overall design type at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for $39.99, but I got this for approximatly $20 on Amazon. It's the same brand, but the baskets have a different type of design on them compared to BB&B. I gave this product four stars because the basket design (and maybe this is why BB&B has the different design) allows for smaller items to slip through. I really like this item though. It holds items and stays in place. I also have a separate little piece from a previous shower basket that keeps it from slipping down the shower pipe (if it were to try to slip), but so far I don't think that it's slipped at all. It's sturdy and can hold a decent amount of weight in it. It's still new - so I hope that it stays rust free - it's supposed to though and I'll update this if it doesn't. Good product!

I saw this same brand and same overall design type at Bed, Bath, & Beyond for $39.99, but I got this for approximatly $20 on Amazon. It's the same brand, but the baskets have a different type of design on them compared to BB&B. I gave this product four stars because the basket design (and maybe this is why BB&B has the different design) allows for smaller items to slip through. I really like this item though. It holds items and stays in place.

Question: How quickly did the blanket die?

For the price it is good. Somehow it stopped evenly heating rather quickly and turned into a simple blanket. I do not know the expected life for one of these, but it died within a couple months.

Answer: within a couple months
