Question: What is the size of the mixer?

KitchenAid has been making fine kitchen appliances for nearly a century now - their first product having been a mixer! This mixer is a nice machine that really does the job. It is nice and large, with a good deal of capacity. The motor seems good and powerful, and really gets the job done. I can easily mix up two batches of cookies at one time, without stressing the mixer.As an added bonus, I guess because the motor is so powerful, the mixer is relatively quiet - not the sort to break your eardrums.I love my mixer!(Review of KitchenAid KSM155GBEB Artisan Designer Series)

Question: What is the unexpectedly small capacity of this pot?

I purchased this little pot from Amazon a couple of years ago and use it pretty frequently. Mostly i use it for boiling eggs, but it comes in handy for gravy and other types of sauces or it is perfect for homemade hot chocolate. Make no mistake it is LITTLE. 8 cups might be smaller than you expect, but for my family of 5 it gets the little jobs done. Some of the reviews question the quality of this product, I have been pleased with its sturdiness and durability, my only comment would be after frequent use there are several noticeable scratches on the outside of the pan. I have only hand washed it, but i'm sure it gets banged around going in and out of the cupboard and i nest it in a larger pan for space saving purposes. The scratches are not really troublesome to me, but might be a big negative for some.

Question: What kind of gift was it?

Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present, decided to spend the extra money (cause my sweetie is worth more than just a snuggie) and I'm really glad I did. She absolutely loves this thing, so much so that I've actually been chided for even trying it on. And I have to say it is comfortable too. It's the ultimate in couch potato lounging. Perfect for the winter days when you just want to sit back and watch some movies.

Question: What is the pan being reviewed made out of?

I already have two bread pans by USA pans and needed some metal square cake pans. Even though the USA pans are a bit more expensive, they are WELL worth the money.I do always grease my pans before baking. I generally use butter to grease them and sprinkle with fine sugar rather than flour. Makes a nice coating on the outside of your cakes and releases just as well as flour.You won't want to serve out of them. As with any coated pan, metal isn't their friend, but just cool your cakes and they slip right out onto a serving plate. I never wash mine in the dishwasher. You can, but it isn't advisable..again they do have a clear non-stick coating. They clean up quick and easy with a sponge and a little dish detergent.Absolutely the best pans I have ever owned and I have a lot of pans. Try them, I'm sure you'll love them too.

Question: What type of cooking method does this person use often?

The other day I was invited to my mother’s house for dinner. She was making me some potatoes in the over and had one of these liners on the baking sheet. I never thought about using one.I bake a lot and will admit I hate it when things get baked on the baking sheet and it takes forever to soak and clean. The whole house then starts to smell. I can’t think of anything I bake that is over 450 degrees; these are safe up to 480.I have been using them with tater tots or things that leave a lot of grease left over on the pan. The liner is still greasy but the clean up is a breeze! I just place the tater tots on the liner, bake, and then remove all to cool down. Once cooled down I place the baking sheet back in the cupboard and only have to clean the liner, it saves a lot of time! I like that you can even wash it in the dishwasher. That comes in handy too.These are one of those things that you did not know you needed until you have them. I had no idea my mother has been using them for years. They also come in handy to make dough and place on the counter top. You also do not have to place the liner in a sheet; you can place it directly in the oven.I was worried that the tater tots would not get crispy but they did. Same cooking time and they were crunchy. I am very impressed and love that there is two of them in case you need to use both at the same time.Sample item provided.

Question: What material are the measuring cups made of?

If you like a good solid measuring cup then look no further! I was looking for a set of measuring cups to use as a scoop for my dog, cat and bird foods. These are stainless steel and strong. I've used plastic ones and the handles generally snap. The handles on these are nice in that they feature non-slip handles. When scooping the pet food you don't lose your grip and spill kibble or seed all over the place. They do come with a plastic ring that you can use to keep the cups together and then when you need one you can easily slip it off. I don't really need this feature, but it is a nice way to keep them together.

Question: What made repair impossible?

I loved these, so much, I purchased several of them (always in the dishwasher). But after about 6 months or so, the bottom half of the two-piece handles came unglued, one by one, rendering them useless. I tried to find a way to glue them, but the handle is ridged inside with large hollow spaces, so I couldn't come up with an effective repair. Also, I didn't like that the handles trapped dirt and water, which would slowly leak out. However, they scraped very well, while they lasted. The blade (which is just flexible enough) is thin enough to reach into most small-mouthed jars. The handle is long, 11" end to end. I would not buy again, unless handle is redesigned. I hope this helps.

Question: How long did it take for the new smell to go away?

The foam came rolled up tightly in a box and upon unrolling it and giving it time to air out (new smell dissipated within 24 hours) and return to its mattress form, it works great for our granddaughters bed. The pad gives her just enough softness. The cover comes in handy and fit just fine. It fits slightly smaller than the bed mattress but, as the instructions that came with the pad say, that allows for a better fit under mattress pads and sheets. Very happy with this product.

Question: What brand is the blender from?

I actually own the Oster 6646 but am writing the review here because the 6646 appears to be no longer caried by Amazon and the 6684 is simply the black version of the 6646.First, the good: This blender does a very good job of blending ingredients, including frozen ones, into drinks of consistent texture. No lumpy pieces of fruit or bits of ice hiding in the drink. It also does a good job of pulling the ingredients down the side of the jar and around the blades so that everything gets blended properly.Now, the bad: Shortly after my 1-year warranty expired, I turned on my blender one day and it abruptly turned off after about one second. I actually think this was my fault as I didn't have the jar seated quite right and I had some ice cubes at the bottom of the jar right by the blades. At any rate, to make a long story short I was left with the option to either (a) pay to get the blender repaired, which would have cost over half what one costs new; (b) throw the blender away; or (c) try to fix the thing myself. I had a hunch that perhaps I could find a fuse inside that had blown, so I attempted to take apart the blender. I tried A LOT of different screwdrivers, both at home and at work, and I could not get any of them to grip the screws properly to remove them. I took the blender to my local hardware store and, after a lot of patience, was finally able to remove the screws. While I readily found a fuse, the hardware store said they didn't have a matching replacement fuse. A little frustrated but still determined, I went to yet another hardware store; a seemingly knowledgeable clerk there told me that I would probably have a hard time finding the proper fuse because of the filament design, even though the fuse is labeled as a 5 amp 125 volt fuse. Still determined, I went to Radio Shack. Though they did not have a fuse that looked the same in terms of filament, the guy there assured me that a slow blowing 5 amp 250 volt fuse should work just fine. And guess what -- he was right. So now I have an additional three back up fuses in case it blows again, for a total out of pocket cost of less than 10% what a new blender would cost. Now my search is on for replacement screws so I can attach the bottom of the unit to the base again.I guess I can't totally fault Oster for not making a consumer level repair more easy. I think this is true across the board for consumer electronics today. Still, I hate to think of all of the perfectly good machines out there that get tossed in the garbage and end up in a landfill (even though there are toxic components inside) that just maybe would be put back into service by the people who owned them if the manufacturer gave simple instructions for something as simple as replacing a fuse and didn't assemble the device so as to discourage people from trying to take it apart.

Question: What was the author's old tea pot covered in?

I sent this back. It seemed cheaply made and had a weird smell. It could have just been mine but seemed rather poorly constructed. the spout part is a separate piece. I have a porcelain enamel covered SS teapot but it fell and chipped on the outside. I bought this to replace that one but I tried the water alone after heating it up and it seemed to have a "different" taste. I used the same filtered water I always use. I decided to just keep using my old tea pot until I find something similar. I think the ceramic helps offer tea water with no metallic taste.

Question: What kind of pain does the author suffer from?

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

Question: What is the brand name?

What a distinct pleasure to have this fine Creuset in my kitchen! It was worth every penny and then some. The 4-1/2 quart size is perfect for our small household, perfect for use as a Dutch Oven, and a true Best Buy in the Creuset line.The sloping edges of the pot are my favorite aspect. Or maybe it's the gorgeous variegated "Volcanic Flame!" with the rich vanilla-colored enamel interior. Or maybe it's the smart, competent way it sits atop the stove, ready for any assignment. Spaghetti sauce! Beef stew! Chicken soup!Solid and enduring pots and pans for the kitchen are always a wise investment; and this one, this one in particular, was love at first sight.Hallelujah.

The 4-1/2 quart size is perfect for our small household, perfect for use as a Dutch Oven, and a true Best Buy in the Creuset line. The sloping edges of the pot are my favorite aspect. Or maybe it's the gorgeous variegated "Volcanic Flame!" with the rich vanilla-colored enamel interior. Or maybe it's the smart, competent way it sits atop the stove, ready for any assignment. Spaghetti sauce! Beef stew! Chicken soup!Solid and enduring pots and pans for the kitchen are always a wise investment; and this one, this one in particular, was love at first sight. Hallelujah.

Question: What's the earliest product to be made at KitchenAid?

Answer: their first product having been a mixer

<hl> KitchenAid has been making fine kitchen appliances for nearly a century now - their first product having been a mixer ! <hl> This mixer is a nice machine that really does the job. It is nice and large, with a good deal of capacity. The motor seems good and powerful, and really gets the job done. I can easily mix up two batches of cookies at one time, without stressing the mixer. As an added bonus, I guess because the motor is so powerful, the mixer is relatively quiet - not the sort to break your eardrums. I love my mixer!(Review of KitchenAid KSM155GBEB Artisan Designer Series)

Question: What sizes did they buy?

I bought this to help with space in some deep cabinets. I purchased it in three sizes, the 9-1/2", the 12" and the 16". All are great. They are non-slip. They have a non-slip surface on the top, but they also have it on the bottom, so they stay where you put them in your cupboard. The movement is very smooth. I put quite a bit of weight (flour, sugar, box mixes) on the 16" and it turns just great. I wish I had bought more when I ordered these, but I will order more. They are hard plastic, so they may be best for inside the cupboard rather than a formal dining table. I recommend these if you are looking for a smooth operating turntable.

Question: What did they purchase?

I purchased the santoku 6" and it's awesome (although it chips very soon). This paring knife its so good because its handle; I feel it more ergonomic than my previous one. THE BLADE IS PERFECT, it's razor sharp and well, you know , it is kyocera.BUT, just one thing I hated: THERE'S A LITTLE SPACE where the handle meets the blade. I dont like it. I think the food can get inside there and, well, it isn't safe.I dont know if the problem is that my paring knife is yellow and the fancy colors knives are defective.I won't buy the fancy knives again.

Question: When was the skillet great?

This was a great skillet when new. The size, shape, weight and non-stick coating were just what I wanted. But after just a few months of casual use, the non-stick coating has begun to come off all along the upper edge. We don't use metal utensils or scouring pads nor have we ever run it through the dishwasher or tried to deep fry in the thing. Its just peeling off for no reason. I'm really disappointed for this being a Farberware product.

Question: How long has the poster had their stainless pots?

Wow, cheap stuff, seems like it'll last a while though. Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless, even if it's not high quality. Went to see them the other day and even though someone else bought them some sort of "famous TV chef lends name to garbage cookware" stuff as well, they were using these. Stainless, even low quality stuff is great. I still use 20 year old superstore bought garbage stainless pots n pans from 15+ years ago with my high quality stuff. You don't need calphalon to heat chef boyardee or boil some rice. My kids are learning to cook now, just getting into the "OMG food doesn't only come from a can or from the freezer?" stage of their lives and this is prefect to learn on.

Question: What is easy to clean out and change?

I have toddler twins and for months have been picking up food remnants by hand or lugging out the huge Bissel vacuum to clean up after their food throwing shenanigans.This product has changed my life. It picks up pieces the size of a tortilla chip or smaller, which is pretty much all of the debris that clutter my flooring. It makes cleanup a breeze after mealtime, when my kids show off their "throwing bean" skills and manage to turn dinner into an olympic sport. My daughter is slightly afraid of this Dustbuster so when she is acting up we chase her with it.I wish this Dustbuster had an attachment to get to those hard-to-reach places, but otherwise I think it does a fabulous job. It is easy to clean out and change the filter. Luckily a charge lasts a week if you use it for a minute at a time.

Question: Can you use these pan covers to steam food?

I love these covers, I have two (one for a 12" and one for a 14" pan). They are perfect for what I need. I have several large skillets for my induction stovetop that didn't come with lids, these lids fit the bill perfectly. They are lightweight which I love, who needs a bulky, heavy cover? They let out steam if need be and they are easy to clean. Who could ask for more? I also own a universal lid cover that is glass and stainless, and although it's nice, I prefer these because they don't weigh as much and they are easier to clean than the glass one. Plus the price is much, much lower than the universal lid I purchased. I would definitely buy these again, if I needed to.

Question: What is on the vacuum cleaner that allows one to switch between hard floors and carpeting?

This is the best vacuum EVER. It is the perfect size for a duplex townhouse. I had both a regular upright vacuum and a tiny little stick vac, this does the job of both and is very light to carry up and down the stairs. I love that it has a very accessible button to switch from hard floor to carpeting and the dust canister is extremely easy to empty. I charged the battery as soon as I received it, and I have used it almost every night for 2 weeks and just had to re-charge the battery yesterday.I am very happy with this purchase!!!

Question: What is the reviewers main concern when washing the prodyct?

I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about with this product. I'm a total kitchen gadget junkie and so I was delighted when I received this for Christmas. Yes, it's more ergonomic to hold and it's a little easier for me to slice up small bits of pizza for my toddler, but it's not *all that*. The problem is the thing is so irritating to wash that I find myself just reaching for my regular pizza cutter instead of this one. Basically you have to take it out of its plastic case to wash it which can be rather tricky. I keep worrying I'm going to slice myself with the blade. Even putting it back together after it's clean is a bit nerve racking. Frankly all this business of taking it apart and putting it together sort of nullifies the ergonomic aspect of it for me.I'd say if you already have a pizza cutter that you're happy with you don't need to bother with this thing.

Question: What should you use if you want a water-tight seal?

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 many years is the warranty?

I am a big fan of this one. (yuck, yuck) Actually, the fan works very well. It's speeds are noticably different depending on your need and the thermostat settings really work. I bought one for a room where and AC was not practical and it worked like a charm. I now have three of them and even in the largest room, it does a great job. Not silent, but not distracting. A great buy - especially with the three-year warantee.

Question: What is suggested to do after buying the AC unit?

I thought this was a large tray at first but it's only about 5" wide and around 21" long. It was easy to install and put together. I did it by myself without my husband helping me. I just followed the detailed instructions included in the package and got my drill and went at it. My AC unit was weighted on the left side so I had a bit of difficulty balancing the weights just right so that the plank carried most of it instead of the window, and it took me about 2 tries... then I just readjusted my AC a bit off center to balance it further. The AC was 67 lbs. so It was a bit of a struggle, but this made it so much easier to install. Great buy, just make sure you read the instructions.

Question: What is used by the reviewer when they want to make a larger amount of ice cream?

I love this for making small batches of ice cream. When I want to make multiple batches, I use my full size Hamilton Beach ice cream freezer. This is perfect for single batches or small batches only. Keep it in the deep freezer, and it is always ready to use. I have had this for more than a year, and I have come to realize that to get the ice cream to the right consistency you must keep the bowl in the deep freezer. When I kept it in the freezer attached to the refrigerator, the ice cream never froze past milk shake consistency.

Question: How many settings does the grinder have?

Krups GVX1-14 Burr Grinder , BlackI bought this grinder to replace an old (25 years old!) Waring burr grinder. Was concerned about the height, but at just 10 1/2" high, it fits nicely in my coffee cabinet. Rubber feet keep the machine firmly in place when grinding, and the noise is not unusually loud for a burr grinder. Seventeen settings assure a perfect, even grind from coarse to powder fine. The unit is easy to clean and a small brush is provided for removing excess ground coffee from the hopper. My only complaint is that the burr must be removed and cleaned frequently, and this was a little tricky for arthritic fingers. Grinder can be set to grind for 2 to 12 cups of coffee. Has an illuminated off/on bean hopper light. Safety feature: grinder will not operate unless hopper and lid are in place. A good-looking, well-engineered, superior grinder and well worth the money.

Question: What happened to the poster's scoop when they used the product?

This is the worst ice cream scoop ever. The part of the scoop that attaches to the handle is only about 1/4 inch in diameter. It's a total scam; they made it look thicker, by making the part that holds the scoop 4 times as wide. You can't tell by looking at it, because they have cleverly disguised it with the plastic handle. I found out when the handle broke off in my hand, while trying to scoop some hard ice cream. Oxo, you should be ashamed of yourselves for making this piece of junk, which was clearly designed to deceive the consumer. I'll likely never buy an Oxo product again.

Question: Why does the user like the spatulas?

I like these spatulas for their handles. They have some slight flexibility that wood handles don't. It makes it easier to get under omelets to turn them, for example. I have tested the fire resistance of the handles, too, by leaving the handle resting on the edge of the hot pot. So far, no melting.The variety of blades is good. I use the largest one the most, for stirring sauces and stews. The middle one is good for scraping bowls. The smallest is a standard spatula for mixing cake batter.They clean easily in soap and water, but also survive the dishwasher. They have not become discolored by my recent discovery of turmeric in stews, unlike another spatula and my sink.

Answer: for their handles

<hl> I like these spatulas for their handles . <hl> They have some slight flexibility that wood handles don't. It makes it easier to get under omelets to turn them, for example. I have tested the fire resistance of the handles, too, by leaving the handle resting on the edge of the hot pot. So far, no melting. The variety of blades is good. I use the largest one the most, for stirring sauces and stews. The middle one is good for scraping bowls. The smallest is a standard spatula for mixing cake batter. They clean easily in soap and water, but also survive the dishwasher. They have not become discolored by my recent discovery of turmeric in stews, unlike another spatula and my sink.

Question: Did you notice a difference is the new scale from the old scale?

After quite unsuccessfully trying to limit my inhuman food portions, I bought a food scale. I actually first bought a different food scale. It was a cheap old fashioned scale that seemed to do the job just fine. After a couple months of use, I noticed myself tapping the scale, moving the items around, and it dawned on me. I was still cheating my portions!!! It was subconscious; I had developed habits that made the scale weigh the items lighter than they really were. Plus, when you are talking one ounce portions of crackers, the accuracy is just way off with those old fashioned scales.Thus, I finally bit the bullet and coughed up the extra cash for this digital scale. It was an eye opening experience. I compared the two and the old scale was off by whole ounces. That is huge when it comes to dense calorie foods. Moral of the story is that if you are serious about portion control, you need this scale - not just a scale - THIS scale. It is the only thing that keeps me in check.

Question: Does this product works fine with that brand of soap?

Purchased this to replace the sensor soap dispenser that I'd loved and used for many years until it up and died. This version has some design improvements, including a larger opening to refill the soap chamber, a rubber dispensing "tip" and the elimination of a lower front foot that used to get soap scum/residue and water spots.I was also worried that this new design would not work with my preferred soap -- Bath & Body Works "kitchen lemon" -- but it works just as well as, if not better than, the old model.

Question: What was giving the husband back pains?

We just bought a mid range tempur pedic bed which is great, but my wife weighing only 120 lbs doesnt really sink into the bed like I do at 180 lbs and she has been complaining that her back is more sore than on our old spring pillow top mattress which was giving me horrible back pains. Anyways this Mattress Topper has solved that issue and I enjoy the extra softness as well! It is definitely a cheaper alternative than returning our mattress and upgrading to one of the tempurpedic "cloud" series which basically just has a pillow top stitched onto their patented memory foam

Question: Are these towels a good value?

Great product for the price. Nothing fancy; however, for me, they are the right size and serve their purpose of being used for everyday toweling. I was concerned about other reviews discussing excessive lint. While there was a lot of lint on the first wash/dry, I did not have excessive lint balls attach to me when I used them. They were soft and absorbent. I also read that the edges would ravel. I looked closely at each towel when folding. No strings or ravels were found. For a large person, you might want to consider the next towel size up. For the average person, they are adequate and do not take up large amounts of closet space like the over-sized bath towels.For general, everyday use, they are what I needed.

Question: What was the box like when the package arrived?

I ordered this and it was delivered fast but in an extremely damaged box with only a sheet of packing paper shoved in one side. It had been dropped on the small handle end and dented, and there were dents in the metal trim ring of the lid. Amazon immediately sent me out a replacement and I had it in less than 2 days; but the replacement had even less packing and had similar but smaller dents from banging around inside the box. I kept it since it wasn't too bad to be used. If it starts to chip or peel the non-stick where the dent was, I'll update the review - but so far (2 weeks) it is still looking great.

Question: What is the only thing that could work against one's perception of the product?

This may seem silly, but I actually said, "WOW!" when I opened the box and saw this baster. (The baster I had been using must be about 25 years old, so I guess I never realized what I was missing.) It's big. Very big. And instead of a bulb top that only half-works, this has a bellows that you press. Which means it can draw up a precise amount of liquid (up to 3 oz.) and keep it there with no drips until you want to release it. Perfect.The only possible negative is its size makes it hard to store in a utensil drawer.

Question: Will the replacement filter from other brands work for this system?

Over the years I've tried a number of the reusable K-cup gizmos and had come to the conclusion that none of them were designed right. None of the companies making these things seem to take in account that the water actually needs to be in contact with the coffee for some period of time to make a decent cup of coffee. If you take a look at a used k-cup, you'll see that there is a small hole in the top where the water goes in and a small hole in the bottom where the coffee comes out. Most of these filter units have large screened opening that don't allow any pressure to build up like a real k-cup does. So you end up with a very weak cup of coffee even if you over pack the filter.But the design of this Keuring My K-Cup filter is different, it actually takes the place of the whole coffee unit. You can actually get a drinkable cup of coffee from it, even without using a ton of grounds. The one thing I still don't like is having to clean out the basket after every cup. So I've been using these -Disposable Filters for Use in Keurig Brewers - Simple Cups - 50 Replacement Filters - Use Your Own Coffee in K-cups. They make the chore a bit more palpable.I might note that I'm using this filter with a Mr. Coffee brand k-cup machine and had no problems installing it. Something else that might be of interest. I purchased the filter I'm using at the local big-box store and paid nearly twice what they want for one here (doh!).

Question: What is the first material mentioned in the review?

This is like a dense, dense cotton, or a very thin felt. It doesn't crinkle, and seems very sturdy. Easy to put on with 2 people-- doable with one. Slips on then zips on one end. I'd recommend this for anyone living in an apartment with a mattress they don't want to throw away-- even if you have heard nothing about bedbugs in your area. We were told to put it on after plagued with a small bug problem to "lock whoever is left, in-- and keep others out" (The apartment was also sprayed-- this product doesn't fix anything without help). Good precautionary idea and well as a reaction to an infestation.Aug 2012 update:We move across the country with this on our mattress. It's scuffed and a little rough looking, but didn't tear. Zipper still works-- it's holding up very well.

Question: Where were the summer clothes stored?

My fiancee' and I decided to move into together and although I have a huge walk in closet, I also have a lot of clothes and shoes. So the logical step was to get space bags to make space for his clothing. So I took down all my summer clothes packed them in the space bags, did the same with blankets/comforters I'm not using at the moment, and these bags did the job. I have SO much more space now and everything is neat and sealed. These bags are study, very easy to use and I loved the assorted sizes which really helped for those items I didn't need a big bag for -- so I definitely recommend. As always thanks to all those who left the reviews that helped me make my decision in purchasing these!

Question: How functional is this paper towel holder?

If a paper towel holder can thrill a person, this paper towel holder is as exciting as any paper towel holder can be! It looks great and is nicely weighted on the bottom, so when grabbing a paper towel with one hand in the midst of cooking, it doesn't topple over and create a bigger kitchen mess. The bar on the side also assists with one handed paper towel grabbing, but also keeps the roll looking neat and tidy. Add this item to the list of smart looking and fabulously functional simple human tools.

Question: How many pieces come with the cookware set?

I really love this set. I decided to gift this to my mother this week and we have been using the pots and pans included to cook and prep for an upcoming dinner event (Tonight actually!) and everything is wonderful! I love the non-stick surface of the solid, heavy, durable feeling pans. They feel so nice to work with. They aren't too hefty or cumbersome. They are the perfect size for my tiny mother to work with. She is always complaining about lugging around weighty pots and pans and I think this is going to be her new favorite cookware set to regularly use.I love the color of the set as well. It's a very rich bronze. Very, very pretty and elegant in any kitchen really. My mother has gone on and on about how she never thought she would love a bronze cookware set as much as she loves this since she has been used to using stainless steel for so long...but she is a convert now!This set comes with everything you would need to get started in the kitchen. The 10 piece set will accommodate pretty much anyone. My family is big into cooking and everyone has been really impressed with this set!I'm also super shocked at the price! VERY reasonable for what you get!!!

Question: What color or finish is the outside of the coffee machine?

This little doo-hickey converted us from a Tassimo T-Disc enjoying household, to a Tassimo T-Disc loving household! It has a classic chrome look that will appeal to the aesthetic of most home kitchen barista environs. You'll love filling it up, using them up, and filling it up again. Guaranteed to increase your consumption of T-Discs (is that a good thing? I think so). The four sections mean there is room for four varieties of T-Discs. The bottom of each section offers space for simple removal and dispatch of both smaller (espresso) and larger (creamers) T-Discs.

Question: What do the sheets do with the mattress?

To begin, I'm a bit of a sheet snob. Before I found these, if it wasn't 1000+ thread count, I wouldn't bother. But I saw the high reviews and breathability claims and thought I'd give it a shot...and have since ordered another set in a different color and don't think I'll go back to plain cotton. Normally I shy away from prices this low on items that seem foreign to me, but this fabric is light, super soft, cleans well, and warm. Colors are true to form, the sheets fit my deep mattress (17-18"), and I'll definitely order again if/when I need new sheets.
