Question: How did the reviewer describe putting the furniture piece together?

After reading all the mixed reviews, I decided to see for myself. All the parts came intact, only one ding I noticed on a piece but I've seen much worse from other DIY furniture. All in all, this is a great piece. It was quite a pain to put together - my BF had to improvise with some drilling and leveling etc that wasn't part of the instructions, but he got it all together and we love it. One drawer sits a little high and requires some force to get it in, but it's not the end of the world. For the price, it's pretty darn good and looks great in our bedroom supporting our flat screen :)

Question: Where did I come across this appliance?

Like many people we used stove top kettles for years.I was interested in electrics, but never wanted to pay the price to try one.I have to say that this appliance rates right up there as one of the best purchases we've ever made. I came across it at Target, and based on the price (it was around $30 on sale at that time) and the style (love the sleek design) purchased it and brought it home.We've owned the kettle for nearly two years now and it's served us well. It gets daily use. We ended up liking it so much that when my sister-in-law mentioned having always wanted one, we went out and purchased her one for Christmas that year.The only issue we've had, and it's just become one, is the screen that covers the spout. The kettle recently started to dribble while pouring, and I discovered that the screen has torn away on one side. We don't particularly need the screen (we have no sediment in our water), but if I can find the part for less than buying a new kettle I'll replace it.Overall a great electric kettle and I'd highly recommend it.

Question: What is not required when making cupcakes and muffins in these?

I bought these simply to try and reduce the amount of disposables in my home. I was not thinking of any use for them beyond the obvious of cupcakes and muffins normally baked in paper cups. I am thrilled to report that they work just great for those purposes, and without any greasing or oiling required, but they have also served me well as fudge molds. And my new favorite use is for freezing stock when I make a large batch; impossible to unmold neatly from an unlined muffin tin, and awkward in an ice cube tray, stock frozen in these tidy little cups unmolds cleanly and in the perfect amount to pop out later for a serving of ... whatever you use stock for. I love these, I'm glad I bought two sets, and I may order two more soon.

Question: where does the pull tuck into?

I bought this because I'd been wanting to try a salad spinner, but didn't want to spend a lot. I've used it several times, and it works quite well; dries quickly and doesn't seem to bruise the produce. And- I then can use the bowl for the salad!The pull tucks neatly into the lid, lid seems snug to the spinner, plenty of spaces for the water to drain through, and the strainer sits enough away from the surrounding bowl to keep the produce from touching the water that's spun out.My only concern is the material that the bowl is made from seems like it might crack easily if dropped. Otherwise, no complaints on this purchase.UPDATE:SO - it's over 2 years later, and my bargain salad spinner is still one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. Bowl hasn't cracked, pull hasn't jammed. Everything has held up wonderfully- I'd definitely purchase this one again or as a gift.UPDATE:And now, over 4 years later, still just as good as the day I bought it and still a must-have! Are you still on the fence? Just DO it!!

Question: how many clothes racks did they buy?

My husband and I had to get creative when we moved into a place that had a master bedroom without a closet. We bought 2 clothes racks for $20 each at the conglomerate department store that starts with a "W", yes, that one. Then one night we just laid down to watch a movie when suddenly; BOOM! One of them collapsed and literally fell apart right before our eyes. 100 or so pounds of clothes ended up sitting on the floor until we bought our second set. Even the second set that had slightly better build quality ended up leaning to one side after about a week of ownership. Feeling completely helpless, I thought about looking into industrial clothes racks because you never see those babies bend or break in stores! So, I found this one, bought it, and we LOVE it. It is a tank! We have all of our clothes filling both sides including several heavier coats and suits and it has not bent at all. The wheels roll smoothly too and it is pretty attractive for being a garment rack. I wish we bought this in the first place. If you need a strong, functional garment rack, don't hesitate and buy this one right now!

Question: Do the two women like the house to be at the same temperature?

I am not sure what happened to those who had trouble with this little heater. This heater works just great for us, no "hot wall plug", no "short cycling of the fan/heat" and it keeps my Mom happy during these unusually cold days we have had in the south this winter. I keep the house at a steamy 72 degrees and Mom likes it to be very much warmer.

Question: how long will coffee stay hot in the Timolino?

This Timolino was backed by very credible experts, yet it is NOT a TRAVELING tumbler, as they claim it to be. Though coffee will stay hot in it for hours, acting as a small carafe, you cannot succesfully mobilize it - for the lid drips out coffee. The lid is not deep,even slanted - so coffee easily spews out of it. If they changed the lid, to put a closure which at least snaps into place, it would be useful as a mobile coffee tumbler. The closure slides and DOES NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. Ironically, if it tumbles, coffee spills out and ruins anything nearby. The price is too high for what it really does, since you have to leave it in the office or at home.

Question: How big is it?

I think the Eva-dry wireless dehumidifier is a worthwhile tool in removing the feel and odor of excess humidity in one's interior. The mini dehumidifer is sufficiently small and lightweight to use in any room. The fact that Eva-dry is renewable is touted as an advantage, however, it is a nuisance for those who live in small apartments, like me. I do not have a garage or any area in my "home" where I can safely plug in the Eva-dry to recharge it, without emitting humidity into the air while the Eva-dry crystals are recharging, thus defeating the whole purpose of using Eva-dry. I have no alternative than to keep using Eva-dry with the large room dehumidifer I bought, and continually discarding the Eva-dry mini dehumidifier when it requires recharging.

Question: What does one need to watch on the milk containers?

We have two of these. One at home and one we use in our RV and cabin. They both work great, We like the choice of coffees and the quick service we get when orgering coffee from Amazon. We have found out that we can buy coffe at Targets and Bed, bath & Beyond, so we're never out. Maybe not the cheapist way to get your coffee fix, but far cheaper that going to starbuck's shops and the product is just as good. I like the Late's and have not notiuced a chemical taste as was noted. You do have to watch the dates on the milk containers.

Question: What brand where the water resistant adhesive strips?

I really like this dispenser. I didn't use the adhesive it came with. I purchase the 3M strips, water resistant type, instead. I didn't wish something stuck to my shower that if it broke I would chance damaging my shower wall removing it later. This is very easy to install, I just stuck the 3Ms on the back on the flat parts (i used 4) and stuck the mounting bracket to the wall and slid the dispensers on to it. The front part with the clear dispensers slides off the wall bracket so you can clean it easier. The white top is a cover so you can fill it while its on the wall. You need to prime the pump with the first use which takes a bit of time. Don't give up, just keep pressing the button until it dispenses. You can check you progress by removing the dispensers off the bracket and look at the clear valve behind the buttons...you can see if the liquid is making its way through or not. I use think cream rinse and it works fine for me. This is just a really neat item. I'm going to purchase another one for my other shower.

Question: Which content does not spread evenly?

i have to say that I am not in love with these spice grinders. I have flax seed in one and course salt in the other. In order for me to get salt out of the ceramic grinder, it takes a tremendous amount of strength to turn the top. its very slippery and almost impossible to turn. the surfaces are very smooth so my hand just slides around the jar. what really is disappointing is the fact that the salt falls out in one very small area.....so i get a big sprinkling of a large amount of salt on just a small portion of the plate. no matter how fast i move the grinder, it still ends up in one small pile, which is way to much salt.it takes FOREVER to grind flaxseed in these! i will return these....and stick with the old fashion cheapie wooden pepper mill.

Question: What ind of pets does the writer have?

The sheets in my house must be comfortable and easily changed. I hate sheets that require a lot of muscle to get around mattress corners. These sheets while they fit well and snugly have the deep corners that mattresses today require for ease of bed making. What I found interesting was that the sheets almost have the texture of very fine suede like material while being a cotton sheet.This means the color looks richer also. I prefer these to my Egyptian cotton sheets. I have many large dogs and one occasionally puts a paw or two on the bed in the morning and one will sneak into it if given the opportunity. These sheets hold up to the claws unlike the Egyptian cotton yet seem just as soft.They wash up well too and stay soft.

Question: Is the seal tight?

If you are going to only use this in a cup holder, it is great! It insulates well and keeps my water cold and refreshing.The big design flaw is the top-heavy design. I have knocked this thing over many many times and sometimes 3 or 4 times in one sitting. Last night, the wind blew it off of the bleachers while watching a ball game.Also, the lid is a bit warpy and will not seal perfectly.If you decide to wash in the dishwasher, it will get water inside of the double wall and leak all over the place for about 15 minutes.I wish I could give more stars because I love the capacity and insulating, but the top heaviness makes it almost unbearable.UPDATE:I got another one of these, because I lost the first one. The lid does not leak on the second. It is still a top heavy mug, but you learn to adjust.If you don't need the cup holder, then get the keg shaped version in the same 34 oz size. I use one for around the house to keep my water refreshing without sweating on the furniture.

Question: How often does the author use the cooktop?

We have a convection cooktop that I love. I got this for when we are cooking for a big crowd, need something portable or I am doing canning/pressure canning. With the pressure canning, the weight of the filled canner makes me not want to risk my cooktop per the canner's instruction.This burner is big! The rings shown on the top are spprox. 9" in diameter. Width-wise the flat surface is about 12". From front to back, the flat surface is approx. 10". The silver colored base extends a tad further all the way around and provides a very solid support.I cook in cast iron and Le Creuset cookware. This cooktop brings water to a boil rapidly and adjusts temperature quickly(just beware that cast iron/dipped iron holds heat so won't cool down as quickly as other induction-compatible cookware).I have no problem fitting my largest skillet, full sized le Creuset stockpot (20 quart) or pressure canner on this burner.I'd give it one more star if it wasn't so loud. It has a fan that is pretty noticeably loud(to be expected I guess) but also the controls to turn the heat up or down can be heard at the other end of the house. Could be a plus or minus for some, for us- I'd prefer something a little quieter.Great cooktop for the price and we use it almost everyday for something and it has been a workhorse. Def. recommend.

Answer: almost everyday

We have a convection cooktop that I love. I got this for when we are cooking for a big crowd, need something portable or I am doing canning/pressure canning. With the pressure canning, the weight of the filled canner makes me not want to risk my cooktop per the canner's instruction. This burner is big! The rings shown on the top are spprox. 9" in diameter. Width-wise the flat surface is about 12". From front to back, the flat surface is approx. 10".

Question: What do you not use the pan for?

Cute novelty pan, but do not recomend for the 3D version cake. I used this for Thanksgiving and made the pumpkin cake recipe that came with the pan, it was good but had to bake a lot longer than recomended, and the head of the turkey over cooked and would not put together for the 3D version cake. I was dissapointed in this. I also put the turkey dressing in this pan and baked it, it was a hit for our Thanksgiving dinner. So you might want to try it for other things than the 3D cake. Cornbread would be cute! I did find it for half the price that was on Amazon so sent it back. You might want to shop around.

Question: What do the cookie press recipe's cookies taste like?

Like other OXO products I've used, this is well-made and the storage case for the pattern disks is a good idea to keep them from getting misplaced. And it looks like a fun way to make cute cookies, but you can't use just any recipe since a soft consistency of the dough is important to getting it to work properly. I have a favorite recipe for sugar cookies my mom has made since I was a kid but the dough is much too thick and better suited to old-fashioned cookie cutters. And the recipes included with the cookie press are very heavy on butter - 3 or 4 sticks for each batch! - which makes them taste more like shortbread cookies to me (not my favorite and more expensive to bake). The patterns are cute - although they make very small bite-sized cookies - but it doesn't work with just any recipe.

Question: Where should the spoon / lifter be placed during the cooking process?

We have the Caphalon Pots & Pans, these were a natural addition to our set to make sure our Pots & Pans investment would last!http://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Unison-Nonstick-10-Piece-Cookware/dp/B0028S7R58/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_topThese Nylon Utensils protect our cookware, they are very durable, wash well in dishwasher or by hand - (no spotting / falling apart as other reviewers have stated). I wouldn't suggest you leave the spoon / lifter in the pan while cooking, rather set them on a plate or dish on the side between stirs. Not that they can't 'last' in the pan without melting - just not suggested to keep them in there.The handles feel good, have a nice 'weight', and work well. Enjoy!

Question: Where is the air filter located?

This has to be the worst designed vacuum I've ever purchased! The air filter is located in the front, and is down near the floor so that when you try to vacuum on wood floors, the exhaust actually blows the dirt and pet hair away from you. It's as if you're actually CHASING the dirt! When you FINALLY 'catch' the dirt, it gets caught up in the filter which is stupidly located INSIDE the dirt canister. It's a decent-sized dirt canister, but so much of the dust gets caught up at the top and sticks in the filter so you have to clean it prematurely, and it's very difficult to clean out the pleats in the filter. I used this vacuum a couple of times, and then gave it to my local Goodwill. Maybe someone else won't mind all the negative aspects of this vacuum cleaner...

Question: What tools are important?

I've been a kitchen knife connoisseur since I started to get into healthy eating many years back. Let's face it, if you want to be healthy, a proper diet is essential and cannot be overlooked. The problem is not finding high quality foods, fresh organic produce can be found in nearly every neighborhood in America. Even big name grocery stores are carrying organic produce. The problem is making the time to prepare your own meals. For this, a proper kitchen knives set is essential. They make cooking enjoyable and the food made from a happy chef always seems to taste better.When you look at my current kitchen set-up, you'll find a collection of high quality steel knives:Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star II 11-Piece Knife Set with Block,J.A. Henckels International Eversharp Pro Stainless Steel Steak Knives, Set of 4, andZwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener. And an assortment of high quality ceramic knives:Kyocera Revolution Series Knives, 5-1/2-inch Santoku Knife, White Blade,Kyocera Revolution Series 3-1/7- Inch Paring Knife with Red Handle, White Blade, andKyocera Revolution Series 5-Inch Micro Serrated Utility Knife, White Blade.I am a firm believer that you can't know something until you personally experience it. This is especially true with kitchen knives and computer keyboards. When shopping for my knives, I went to the local specialty kitchen store and tested out every knife set they had - the full range of J.A. Henckels, Wusthof, and Victorinox brands, and smaller specialty knife companies like Kyocera. I took home with me (or bought on Amazon) the knives that felt best in my hand. When you shop for high-end kitchen cutlery the blade materials are nearly identical between the brands and models, so the deciding factor is always the way the knife feels in your hand. After all this is where every knife will gets it's final grade. Personally, I prefer the more modern ergonomic designs with their soft curves and smooth finish. The distribution of a knife's weight is crucial with speed and precision.Bodum is new to the high-end knife market, trying to stake their claim with an array of ceramic knives. While a Santoku is my "go to" knife in the kitchen, this particular Santoku knife from Bodum won't find too much use from me. And again, it's all due to personal preference.... The knife cuts smooth and stays sharp. My complaint is with the balance of the weight of this knife. The area where the blade meets the handle is thick with ceramic and heavy. For me this negatively affects my cutting action. I prefer a more evenly distributed weight and a lighter knife. In addition, I like my knife handle smooth - it allows the blade to rest nicely against my palm. This Bodum Santoku knife uses a bumpy rubber-like handle that while provides a solid grip, just isn't to my liking.All is all, this is a nice kitchen knife. The price is fair for ceramic and the green color is fresh and fun. Add an all-white ceramic blade to the funky green handle and this knife will be an icebreaker for a single man/woman cooking dinner for his/her date or an exciting conversation piece for a dinner party with family or friends.

Question: What kind of water cleans the mat?

Every kitchen needs at least one silicone baking mat. Food comes of easily, it fits my pans perfectly, and clean up is a dream. A little soapy water, a quick rinse, and it's perfect! I've used it for cookies, biscuits, sticky marinated meats, and everything has cooked perfectly, come off easy, and clean up was a snap! I love it. Definitely considering adding more to my kitchen tools (seriously - who doesn't love something that makes their lives *easier*???) and will be gifting to friends and family!

Question: What material is it made out of?

I ordered this frame in king size after reading the reviews and am really happy that I did. When I opened the box it looked like it might be difficult to assemble, but it was really easy! It took my husband and I about half an hour, and I honestly could have done it myself if I had to. It is solid wood and looks lovely as is, but can be stained to match your other furniture. It does sit a little higher than your average bed, but since we're using it without a box spring it is the perfect hight. Best of all, it is really sturdy and noiseless. It was exactly what I was looking for!I also have to say that this seller is great! World of Futons shipped this the day after I ordered (which was Saturday) and I had it by Wednesday! I've ordered much smaller items that took twice as long (or even longer)to receive. I really can't say enough good things about this seller and highly recommend them.

Question: What is the longer side supposed to do?

I thought this was going to be my THING! While it is comfy and offers pretty good support, the ear hole helps, but isn't QUITE big enough (and I have reg-o ears)- This is NOT good for anyone who doesn't stay in the exact same position all night. I like to flip sides - I'm mainly on my left shoulder - but I like to switch it up at night and this pillow does not allow for it. You'd have to flip your pillow over to go to the other side b/c the longer side is supposed to stay on your back. Also if you ever lay just on your back...this is useless! SO! If you stay put while you sleep, get this! If you like to switch sides at all without having to sit up to flip you pillow to do it...this would not be the pillow for you.

Question: how does the the authors current kettle work

I have had 3 or 4 kettles in the last couple of years. The Oxo, which is as/more expensive, went to hell so fast it was bizarre: warped, looking like it was fished out of a dumpster. Then I got another one that was a disaster: also got ugly weeks into its tour of duty. Second one was an even bigger disaster though because the hole was not big enough to get my hand down inside and white stuff started to appear in the water.This one works fine, and there is no problem pouring using it (??). It is staying clean, though as is the case w/all stainless, keeping it clean means special treatment. Still, 10x better than the other two I had.

Question: What size plate is it able to cover?

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.

Just FYI... <hl> Also, it's big enough to cover a large plate. <hl> It sits on top of the plate, but unless you have food all the way to the edge, it's fine.

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.

Question: how does the writer feel about their purchase?

These hooks are exactly as described; remarkably strong even upside down, excellent for hanging anything from a heavy plant from a metal beam on my patio to a seasonal wreath on my front door. A useful feature to be able to use with other threaded parts for some of those endless possibilities mentioned in the description.Very pleased I was able to order exactly the right size/weight rating due to the very detailed instructions that specify that the magnetic force is reduced by sideways application which is how I had planned to use one hook.Easily recommended!

Answer: Very pleased

Question: How much did the product cost?

I was always told that Eureka was a good brand and I loved the features of this vacuum! It was cheap enough so I bought it online from walmart for $99 plus shipping since this model is only avalible online. I purchased it 6 months ago and the first month was great, I actually loved it. After that first month it's usless! If you have ANY kind of sand or dirt in your carpet, it will do nothing than toss it back at your feet and spread it around. I thought if I cleaned all the filters it would help, it didn't. The duster spinner is also useless, doesn't even suck the dirt off of that!Don't waste your time or money on this one, spend the extra $ and get something good! In my opinion, a vacuum with a bag. I have had 3 bagless vacuums in a years time and every one of them you have to get the dirt on your hands at some point in time weather if it's cleaning the filter(s) and or the bucket that holds the dirt that just flys everywhere and you have to vacuum that area again! I will be buying a bagged vacuum cleaner from now on!!

Question: What is wrong with the product?

Look, the Cuisinart SS-300 Single Server Brewing System is great - if you are the only one using it. It is cumbersome if there is more than one person in your household. Simply put you have to add water each time you want a cup of coffee. I have the larger Cuisinart keurig product that has a larger water reservoir that allows you to make successive single cups without the hassle of having to fill it up each time. It works the same as its big brother in every respect as I can tell. Unfortunately there are more than one in my household. Consequently this product gets used when only one cup serving is desired. This is a great product otherwise.

Answer: add water each time you want a cup of coffee.

Question: About how many drinks did he sell within three hours?

First things first – PLEASE make a machine that holds all three alcohols ! I would gladly pay $500.00 for that machine. My bother-in-law was having an open house party and was serving red or white wine only. We had recently purchased our machine but hadn’t had a chance to give it a full run so we volunteered to bring up our Drink Mixer . Because over 100 people had confirmed (75 showed up) and it takes about 30 sec. to flush out and change alcohols I elected to only use Tequila. And it’s a good thing I did that because I ended up serving over 60 Tequila dinks in less than 3 hours. People were lined up as many as 5 at a time. To be fair – it was in the 90s and the men outnumbered the women 2 to 1. It was so popular that one of the guests went on line via his iPhone and ordered two mechines, one machine for himself and the other for his Mother. I went through 1 gallon of OJ, 3-1.75 liters of Margaritas Mix 1 - l.75 liters of Cranberry Juice and 2-1.75 liters of Tequila. If this machine could mix all 3 alcohols without change over I’m sure that I would have served at least 30% more drinks.

Answer: 60

Question: Where was the first salt and pepper shaker bought from?

Spent ages looking for an all in one pepper and salt shaker. First bought a Dansk one from crate and barrel, but the pepper compartment was tiny, so returned that.Very pleased with the operation of this one. Like that you can see through, so you know when you are low, and it grinds and shakes well. Have had it a few months and no problems.

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

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

Question: what about the juicer ?

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

Question: What will happen if my son helps prep food?

My son LOVES these. I'm sure I'm breaking some rules of Motherhood somewhere, but he's three and Iet him use them. Thus far, he hasn't severed a finger off or anything. They ACTUALLY work, but without my worry about him bleeding profusely if I turn my back for a moment. I would still always use them supervised - especially with multiple kids around. Great product. BPA free. High quality. I'll be purchasing these for friends and their children. Great way to get the little ones involved in food prep! My son is MUCH more likely to eat the food if he helped prep it!

Question: What is the benefit of using iron?

I have several cast-iron products including a wok, grill pan and a couple of Dutch ovens. I've been using them for years without a single complaint. I have a full set of All Clad stainless frying pans that are somewhat non-stick if you know how to use them. I've heard so much about Grandma's priceless iron frying pan that I had to give it a try. Compared to stainless, iron heats up slowly but keeps the heat much longer. The pre-seasoning isn't much because real seasoning takes years. This is beacuse the iron is rough and only through use become smooth. My complaints relate to the handle: First it is too short so you can't get a proper grip and second it gets hot enough to burn you (unlike stainless). I guess I'll get used to these problems and learn to appreciate the ultimate cooking surface that iron provides.

Question: What is used in the brewer?

My husband and I bought a Keurig last month. We were really excited to buy a single cup brewer but I wasn't too thrilled with having to buy K-cups, I don't mind it, there are quite a few I like but they do not have K-cups in my coffee of choice. We knew of the reusable K-cups since we know a few people who own keurigs but I didn't want to go with a copy cat brand, I wanted it to be keurig brand. We purchase the my k-cup and I experimented with coffee and with tea. On my first try I got a perfect cup of coffee. I was impressed! I'm happy that it also works with tea, I just removed the tea from a tea bag, put it in the my k-cup and brewed and presto! a perfect cup of tea! I would definitely recommend the my K-cup to any Keurig owner.
