Question: What type of handle does the brush have?

I have never felt that the old-fashioned basting brushes were all that sanitary, because you really can't clean between the bristles. This basting brust solves that problem perfectly! It is dishwasher-safe, and the silicone bristles are spaced widely enough for cleaning. I have looked at other silicone brushes in specialty kitchen shops like Sur La Table, but this brush is better than the brushes I saw there. The brush is very well made with a stainless steel handle.that is comfortable to hold and use. It should last for years. I recommend it.

Question: what is the length of the spoons?

I have had this set for almost a year. They replaced my other set that I had for almost twenty years. I love the different variations of spoons in this set. I use at least two of them every day! These spoons are super long. I wasn't sure I would like the length but I haven't thought twice about it since opening them up. I love how the top part has more of a rubber touch to it. I also love the fact that you can have the ability to hang these spoons. I bought metal hooks and they hang on my refrigerator. Kind of dresses up the kitchen a little. If you do a lot of cooking these are a must have.

Question: What are most of the reviewer's pans and Dutch Ovens?

I cook almost entirely with cast iron. Most of my pans and dutch ovens are Lodge and I've been very happy with them. The T-fal is cheaper, but not by much. For $26, this pan is surprisingly underwhelming.Like others have mentioned, the finish isn't very smooth, compared to Lodge. This isn't too big a deal because over time it will get there with regular use. But for most people, we like to have the smooth finish from the start and save ourselves the frustration of seasoning over years of cooking.I've often struggled with using 12-inch pans at home. They work okay on a gas range, but for the most part they seem to be far too large for day-to-day cooking. A 10-inch pan is much more practical, especially if you've got things on the other burners.This isn't terrible. It's cast iron, and it does it's work fine. I've decided this will be my camping skillet and leave the Lodge for cooking at home. It does what it's supposed to, but it doesn't have quite the same finesse as the Lodge pans.

Question: What started to peel off of the cookware?

This set of cookware was great when I first started using it. It was non-stick as described, heated evenly on an electric stove and overall I was pretty satisfied with it. After using it for a year, my opinion is beginning to change. The handles on the pots keep coming loose and have to be tightened every couple of uses. The non-stick bottom, although I have been very careful to avoid scratching or damaging it has started to peel off in little bubbles. The bottoms tend to get burn marks that you can't scrub off even with some serious elbow grease. I think when you buy these, you are buying the name. You could probably get a similar item for much less money at your local superstore. Not thrilled.

Question: What are the worthwhile features?

It looks good. It has actually useful and worthwhile features (temp, and "keep warm"). My coffee really does seem better at 175F (aeropress).In use though, you have to 'learn it'. Not hard, but bearing in mind we're not doing anything even a tad complex, seems a bit unnecessary. At the start there was a lot of trying buttons and not being entirely sure whether it succeeded or not.For example, my first use: hit the temp I want. It should have started, but it looks like it hasn't - heh, "Start" is unlit, press that; hey - now the temp is flashing, wtf? looks urgent, I have to press something... Hit the temp again... nothing changes. Oh, perhaps it just flashes like that in that urgent looking manner for no reason... Well, not too painful. Wait, I've finished with it, how do I make it stop...? What?, I really have to manually turn the thing off every time?This is all in the manual and not too obscure, but really, how much should I need a manual? How confused should a guest in my house be by /an electric kettle/?At this price I expect someone to do a quality design of the controls, not just the aesthetics. I do like the kettle and I'm feeling generous so I'm giving it a 4, rather than a 3, but it's a close thing.Review Edit: definitely dropping this to 3 stars, might contemplate 2. My wife and I, who are pretty tech-savvy, get caught out by the silly interface for this frequently - both intending to turn it on and failing, and failing to turn it off when we're finished with it. Added to that, and it's increasingly failing to shut off from the boil setting in a timely manner. I think it still shuts off, but takes a couple of minutes of boiling. Overall, it's a nice looking product, but the user experience was not designed properly at all, and the performance is questionable.

Question: According to the customer review this particular griddle cooks the food in what undesirable way?

I really like this griddle because I like the cooking space, BUT the griddle cooks unevenly. I'm not sure if this will go away over time. When making pancakes you can clearly see that parts of the pancake are cooking faster/better. It still cooks all the way through but I really wish it was more even. It heats to temperature quickly. The griddle does a good job of not letting food stick and I really like the tilt n' drain function. If it were not for the uneven heat I would definitely rate this at a 4 or 5 stars, but I really expected more for the overall review rating.

Question: Does the holder work with different brands of razors?

Works as advertised. The only thing i wish it didn't have was "hang away" right smack in the middle of the front of the product. This product only comes in white but can probably be easily spray painted to match any decor shower bathroom etc wherever you put it. It can fit up to four toothbrushes and two razors comfortably (I was able to fit three razors, two being venuses and one being schick sp? comfortably on one product. I bought two of these products in case I needed another one but haven't used the second one. You have to mess with it since all different toothbrushes and razors are different sizes. It sticks on whatever surface you want it to be on. I haven't taken it off so I'm not sure what that is like but judging from what stuck it on seems to take some elbow grease to take it off but it will come off completely but that goes to show that this thing will hold some pretty heavy things and if you really wanted to I'm sure it would hold an oral b electronic toothbrush. Just follow the instructions to put it on and you are good to go. This product works great and hasn't come off or moved the slightest and i've had it for almost a year and i've cleaned my bathroom numerous times with this thing still in place and i've even scrubbed the sides of this product. there's not much build up that gets stuck around the product where i put it but i guess it depends on where you put it if gunk will build up around it but if it does like i said i've scrubbed the product and around it and it hasn't moved. Great product i would buy again

Question: Where are the glasses made from?

I ordered these yesterday and got them today. All intact, no breakage at all, and exactly as described. Thank you Goodman's! These glasses are the best. They make a nice "rocks" glass for alcoholic beverages, but that's just the beginning. They're heavy, of fine quality (made in France, not China), and very versatile. They're called "working glasses" because of the well-fitting lids which turn them from a drinking glass into a nice storage container for the fridge. I make a big pot of homemade soup and spoon it into these glasses, cover them, and refrigerate till ready to use. Perfect one serving size. Great storage They feel good in your hand, and their style is classic. For the price, you can't go wrong. I've used them for many years, and was happy to be able to find replacements on Amazon. (They're sturdy, but GLASS. Accidents happen!)

Question: How tall are the drawers?

I moved into an apartment that has no drawer space in the bathroom so I've been grabbing little organizers to make life easier.This one is great. The metal seems very sturdy. Its attractive and it has 6 separate sections to put stuff in. I use it for manicure stuff same as the picture.As another reviewer said, the picture looks to have tall bottles in it, but thats a little misleading. Its only 2 inches tall so standing big bottles/long brushes doesn't work well. I have to put the nail polish remover laying on its side in the large compartment.

Question: What brand is their mattress?

Bought this for our Olympic Queen mattress (which is a funny size to find bedskirts for) - and it works GREAT! I had a king size for years, but had to fold & pin it in the middle so it wouldn't fall to the floor - and still had to fix it all the time. This one works GREAT - it's off the floor but still keeps the stuff under the bed hidden. The color is really nice too - a nice navy blue. Maybe a tiny bit lighter than the color here (it looks almost black here, but in person is a true navy blue).

Question: What helped them decide on this product?

I love the VRT juicer. I watched a few videos on youtube and they helped me decide on this model. It does everything I've put into it, with no issues at all. I do cut the pieces into smaller pieces, and rotate veggies/fruits as I juice (as the videos on you tube suggest) and have had great success. I also do greens like spinach and kale. It's small enough to stay on my countertop which I think reminds me to use it more. Parts are easy to clean and after a few tries I've gotten the hang of it and can put it together pretty quickly. For the price, features, I recommend it!

Question: What did they use prior to this?

I bought these to use instead of paper plates. Since its just the two of us, I started using paper to avoid either running a half full dishwasher or hand washing dishes. I decided to give these a try. They're great. They're so much lighter that it's not a big deal to wash out and plop into the drainer. Plus, due to the size, you can fit your entire meal along with a roll onto the same plate without crowding.I like these so much I think I'll get some bowls too.

Question: Did the author have success with rolling sushi in the past?

I love sushi, I will go even further and say that any food that you can turn into tube form is my cup of tea.I do , however, not carry the skills (yet) to wrap my own sushi in a tight, perfect manner. My attempts in the past have met with various degrees of results. Rice everywhere, halfway unrolled rolls spilling out innards like a cornucopia, rolls that were seemingly stable and then cut unraveling in unappealing ways.It is so much cheaper to make your own sushi at home, but because I have not yet perfected my technique. This device makes my lack of practice a non issue!The Leifheit Perfect Roll maker is a cheat, and perhaps goes against my usual attitude of "try and try again" but for sushi-sake I need it!The one I chose is the black one, small and with several pieces. I grabbed the instruction booklet and realized it was all in German, which is fine by me because it has PICTURES!!!!IF you cannot follow pictures, simple directions, then you dont deserve good sushi anyway. I had no problem figuring out how to use this simple kitchen device. The recipes are also in German, but cmon you can Google any recipe in seconds and it will do just fine. It doesnt make long sushi rolls, instead it makes short squatty ones.

Answer: My attempts in the past have met with various degrees of results.

I love sushi, I will go even further and say that any food that you can turn into tube form is my cup of tea. I do , however, not carry the skills (yet) to wrap my own sushi in a tight, perfect manner. <hl> My attempts in the past have met with various degrees of results.

Question: What is the first type of simplehuman product the author has?

This is my second simplehuman product. As with the first, a shower rack, I am quite happy. The design of this trash can is quite good. The step lever works well, gently opening and closing. The height allows for a somewhat narrower width which helps in my relatively small kitchen. There is minimal assembly involved when you take the can out of the box. Instructions are sensible and simple, and most are affixed to the can itself. It has a pet proof locking lid which I will appreciate every time I drop bones into the can watched by two drooling and determined poodles. It also seems to seal nicely, which will keep kitchen odors down.

Question: What did I buy?

I bought two of these for use in a couple of library buildings to hold plastic grocery bags for people to take and carry their items in. I was very impressed with the ingenuity that went into these storage towers. They assemble VERY easily, they are sturdy, and they hold quite a bit of stuff in a very small footprint. I think these would be useful for all sorts of things - toys, pantry items, garage storage, etc. The only bad thing I can think to say is that one of the two units I ordered was missing the foot pedal. One call to Richell and they had one shipped out to me. Highly recommended!

Question: What did they make?

This pan, book, and oven mitts combo is a great bargain at < $70.00. The pan is good quality. The mitts are thick and attractive. The book is spectacular. I like the book better than the pan or the mitts. I made pizza from recipes in the book and it was excellent.The pan.......Pros: The pan is heavy duty and well constructed.Cons: The pan is NOT constructed of magnetic stainless steel. It has a raised portion in the bottom with a rather deep channel around the outer edge. Presumably this channel is to collect fat rendered while roasting meat. I see no purpose for such configuration in a lasagna pan. I believe this pan was conceived by a confused designer or labeled a "lasagna pan" by a confused intern in the marketing department. Anyway, I would prefer such a pan have a flat bottom. Maybe I'm making more of this than warranted. I'll see......

Question: What is the general temperature of the jars?

I have been using my mat for about three weeks now and am very impressed.First of all, unlike my "red" ones, this is a nice light blue - and best of all it fits my cookie sheet perfectly!This mentions several "other" ways to use a silicone liner, but as a "canner," I want to mention an area that this comes in particularly handy.First of all, I keep this handy on my glass stove top next to the pan where I have been boiling my preserved foods. Then, I place the hot jars on top of it while I am filling them. This protects the jars from the cold counter and keeps the mess to a minimum.While I am processing the jars, I do a quick clean up of the mat, drying it off. When the jars are ready, I remove them. Instead of placing them on a towel (which again keeps the cold counter and hot jars from being a problem) I use the mat again and the heat is evenly spread. No problems, no jar issues.I have used it for cookies and appreciate how easily they are removed from the mat.Nice, very nice. I appreciate the complimentary mat I received in order to test it out for a review and it is used on a regular basis, both for baking and for canning.

Question: What does the product brew directly into?

This makes wonderfully delicious, rich, flavorful coffee that is not bitter. What else can you want? It's great that it comes with filters (we use each filter twice). The directions are really clear and simple to follow. We heat the water in an electric kettle that has temperature control, which is extremely helpful (as the directions tell you what temperature the water should be). My husband loves a single cup of coffee after dinner, and this is just perfect. It brews directly into the coffee cup and clean up is easy. We don't really use the tote bag.

Question: How are the cups?

All the other ads included lids. If you look at the packaging photo, there's lids on it. If you look CLOSER, you'll see there are no lids included. So when you think you have a good deal, you actually don't. So I ordered the lids separately only to find that if I had gotten the ones that came with lids, I would have saved money. The pitfalls of shopping on Amazon I guess. On the plus side, the cups are just fine and the lids do fit and don't leak. The best part is, as Americans, we can exercise our God-given right to use and toss. I'm cheap, so I rinse and re-use. LOL.

Question: Overall, how does it compare to the Dyson?

I have mixed emotions concerning this vacuum cleaner. I own a Dyson, well, 2 to be honest, so compared to the Dyson, it's no where near as powerful. However, it has attachments to clean the stairs and is very lightweight, which is nice. My younger children can maneuver it much more easily than the Dyson. It also has a scented filter you can use which makes the house smell good. The bagless canister is easy to empty. It is pretty loud when running though. It does suck up the dirt, which is it's main purpose, so in that area, it does well. So, overall, for me, it's just "ok" -nothing spectacular but good enough.

Question: How does the filtered water taste with this filter?

The product description on this page says this filter fits Mavea classic, Brita and Pur, but the box doesn't. I gave this a try as I have Pur and my Mom has Brita so it won't go to waste if it doesn't fit Pur.So, I tried this on my Pur pitcher. My Pur filter is much longer and I would assume contains more of the filtering material; it also twists and locks into place. The Mavea filter does not lock into place, you simply just push and twist it as far as it can go. Well, I'm happy to say that it fits and doesn't leak.Taste wise, the water tastes good. I already use Mavea pitchers and filters so I have no complaint with the taste. And if you use Brita pitchers, you can finally drink water that doesn't have those black bits in them.Verdict: Fits Mavea Classic, Pur and Brita. Tastes good. Shop for price and get the best value.

Question: what other version of label has the reviewer purchased?

I'm horribly disorganized. Well, not really, but my husband couldn't seem to find things on the wire shelves in our kitchen. Until [dramatic music] Attack of the Mouse Horde.Suddenly it was necessary to put foodstuffs and other items in large plastic boxes; even though they are translucent enough to see through, they're still a little opaque. At a distance it was difficult to discern exactly what was where. I knew where the bread box was, but he'd end up taking two or three off the shelf when he wanted to make a sandwich.Incidentally, the box idea worked. We are no longer bothered by the [fading dramatic music] Mouse Horde.Enter Ziggyboard. I'd gotten these spice jar labels to ID spices in a glass jar set; the idea of being able to rewrite is ideal for my purpose. With the left-over labels (there are plenty of labels if you're only doing spices) I could ID the plastic boxes. Interesting result and totally unexpected.I can find things myself far more easily. Husband can find the bread and now knows where to stash things; in the past I would periodically put things away he'd left out. With such clarity of organization now present in my kitchen, I began looking for other things to use labels on, and whole cabinets were cleared, cleaned, and reorganized.I've now purchased the rectangular label version in an attempt to tame the worst of all problem rooms: my sewing/crochet/art studio. Honestly, one would think I had a hoarding problem or something...

Question: Why do the meals have to be kept level until frozen?

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

Question: What is the shape and design?

I bought this set to go with a RSVP set that I could no longer find except on those expensive replacement sights. Just happened across it and thought it might match. Well the design is the same and the shape of the spoon bowls are the same. Very nice quality too. So I came back and ordered a second set! GREAT!

Question: Why did the author want to be able to see through the dish?

I ordered the Pyrex Easy Grab Casserole specifically to heat browned/blackened seared chicken to 165 degrees in the microwave for final cooking.THERE WERE TWO REQUIREMENTS1. The dish had to be see-through so I could view the chicken for meat thermometer insertion as my microwave is mounted high.2. The casserole had to fit and be able to rotate freely on the microwave carousel.RESULTSThe casserole passed both tests. It rotates freely and I can actually see what I'm doing when testing for inner temperature.Here's the actual measurements of the dish which are slightly different than the Amazon measurements.The Dish is 12-3/8 inches x 8 inches. This includes the length of the handles.My GE Microwave inner dimensions are 19-1/2 inches x 13-1/4 inches.I really like this casserole dish and especially the grab handles.

Question: What features did the reviewer want?

I still need a good iron for those last minute wrinkles in formal wear or for a fabric project.This t-fal seems to be sturdy with all the features I want as for adjusting the heat and steam and with the added protection of the nonstick bottom which lets the iron even at its hottest just glide over the fabric (you do need to use only low heat on many synthetics though).It is a good iron for the fabric worker and homemaker and others using materials/fabric, such as cotton, rayon, some silks on low etc. that may sometimes need some heat and pressure.

Question: What holiday was the rice cooker bought for as a present to her husband?

My husband is the cook in our family and he loves rice so I bought this as a Christmas present. Oster is a great brand -- we own can openers and blenders by Oster -- and they certainly have done their work here.You want the cooker to be able to be regulated and also to keep things warm especially in our family where we have 6 grown children plus their assorted husbands/wives/significant others plus 3 grandchildren! This cooker does all of that plus can let you slow-cook veggies as well.The thing that we like almost more is that it does come apart easily and cleans well! So many other rice cookers and similar devices if you do not clean the inner "bowl" right after you serve the rice, you see "shadows" of rice on the ceramic type material. This does NOT do that! It cleans easily and really looks brand new when cleaned. No big scrubbing or long soaking needed either.I recommend it!

Question: How long did the second batch take?

I got this yogurt maker due to price and simplicity. Fewer features also means less can get broken. And really how hard is it to set a phone timer? The first batch I made I accidentally followed the instructions for thinner yogurt and left it a bit too long (forgot to set the timer haha). The result was a slightly tart DAnimals thick yogurt. I added some honey and vanilla and my 3 year old son and I played around with various colors and it was yummy! Drinkable yogurt is annoyingly expensive and my son usually doesn't like the taste. He downed 4 whole cups of this stuff so I still count this as a not fail. Plus he loved being able to color it himself. My second batch only took 6 hrs and I actually followed the right instructions. Oh and I did let the yogurt I used for starter warm up to room temperature. I may have over boiled the milk by a bit, but it still came out beautiful! Very thick, very rich and simple plain yogurt! I started it at 9pm and pulled it out at 3am when the baby woke up and by morning had some delicious yogurt to look forward to! Opened up one of the cups, dug my spoon in and it was very creamy, super thick and mellow. I used about a quart of whole milk and 1 jar cheap GV vanilla yogurt for starter and about 4 tablespoons of milk powder. I have started on my third of many more batches to come! Very pleased with how simple it is!

Question: What is the manufacturer of the storage towers?

Answer: Richell

I bought two of these for use in a couple of library buildings to hold plastic grocery bags for people to take and carry their items in. I was very impressed with the ingenuity that went into these storage towers. They assemble VERY easily, they are sturdy, and they hold quite a bit of stuff in a very small footprint. I think these would be useful for all sorts of things - toys, pantry items, garage storage, etc. The only bad thing I can think to say is that one of the two units I ordered was missing the foot pedal. <hl> One call to Richell and they had one shipped out to me. <hl> Highly recommended!

Question: who uses the second product the writer bought

Bought 2 of these. Love them. Very sturdy and easy to put together. I have one on each side of the closet - one for me and one for hubby. Have plenty of room for clothes and have them expanded out pretty far. I put the bars where recommended and our shirts (top bar) do hang over the pants on the bottom but it's really no big deal. As for the pants, they are fine and up off the floor when folded normally over the hanger. The price does seem to have gone up significantly since I bought mine, but these shelves are worth the money.

Question: How does the olive oil come out?

After many years of using olive oil and buying different dispensers that were disappointing , this Rachel Ray product is great. It looks good on the kitchen counter and is easy to fill.Olive oil comes out In a perfect stream and after using , no drips down the sides, because of the design of bottle.I like that it is opaque, and I feel it does keep the olive oil fresher.Retail stores carry this product, but I had not been able to find the eggplant color, so ordering from Amazon was the way to go and the price was good.I am pleased with this purchase!

Question: What piece of the non-breakable carafes actually ends up breaking?

UPDATE April 14, 2014: Have had this carafe since 2011 and it still looks like the day we took it out of the box. Love it!!After going through many glass versions of different quality I decided to bite the bullet and spring for this one. Not only is this piece beautiful to look at, it keeps the coffee warmer much longer with it's double walls and you can stir with anything, not just a wooden or platic spoon like a glass caraf. Don't even bother with those non-breakable versions -- the caraf doesn't break but the plunger does. Also, the platic becomes unsightly over time. This is one of the very few things I keep out on my counter. If you have stainless appliances you'll really like the pick up of tones. We've had it for at least six months now and it still looks like it did when it came out of the box.

Question: What brand of kettle does the author prefer?

The unit is nicely designed for the most part. Love the controls on the base and not on the kettle itself. This is the one plus over the Cuisinart. However, I wonder if the base is water resistant in case of accidental sloshing. That would make it decidedly a flaw.Other nice feature is the digital temperature gauge.The one drawback is the handle heats up and gets to be too hot.I highly recommend the other water kettle I have owned for a couple of years with no problems:Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp 1.7-Liter Stainless Steel Cordless Electric Kettle

Question: How much water does the product hold?

I bought this product to carry hot water to warm my baby's bottle while I'm out since portable bottle warmer options are pretty sad. I boil the water and fill it half way. Couple of hours later, I open the lid and it's still steaming hot and warms up his bottle way faster than the electric bottle warmer I have at home. It's slim and small enough to fit in the diaper bag. I was somehow thinking 16oz was bigger cause I wanted to use it for food after my boy grows out of bottles, but I am a big eater and this would only hold a snack portion for me. :) But it would be great for can of soup or chilli since it keeps things piping hot for hours. After about 5 hours though, water was only lukewarm.

Question: Is the pan too small to use?

I bought this as a gift for my mother, so I can't review how this pan is in use. We are pretty picky about what we use in the kitchen, though, so I will say that this pan looks and feels like it will get the job done. With any pan this size, weight and balance can be a huge issue, especially for someone older or who has arthritis or other issues. The handle is solid, and a decent size... not so small that you can't get a good grip, but not bulky. The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid. The interior is smooth and consistent. I didn't see any areas that looked like the finish might be uneven or weak, inside or out. Of course, the true test will be when Mom puts it to use, but if it cooks as good as it looks, I may order another to put away until my current pan has to be replaced.

Question: How many stars the review got eventually?

Okay: the cup itself is great. It's heavy and durable. The silicon lid and gromet are fine as well. Overall this purchase would rank as a 4.5-5-Star aquisition under normal circumstances...except:It is advertised as a 16-ounce cup, but wait...it holds 13.5-ounces (measured with graduated cylinder; not eyeball) filled completely to the top (not practical for coffee drinkers in less you want a lap-full-o'-coffee). So 12-ounces is a safe capacity.False advertising Smart Planet. I would love for a company representative to explain this. I'll give you that the outer diameter of the cup is probably 16-ounces, but that's far from the liquid capacity.I'm giving the cup 3-stars because as I've said: it's a good cup. I'm drinking from it right now. Smart Planet deserves 1-star though.

Question: How much of the bottle can you use for product?

I was expecting a little more out of this device than what I got, but it does work. I purchased this to help spread butter flavoring on popcorn. I can fill it up and spray the popcorn then sift a little extra flavoring and it works great. There are two areas in which I would really like to see this device improve...1. It seems silly to only be able to use half the bottle for product. Leaving very little space for the product meaning that you have to refill it pretty regularly.2. Not much pressure generated. While this does work I basically have to pump it a good 10x or so for each spray, which is bordering on too much work to make it useful.I'm not sure what it would take to resolve these two issues, but I removed a star for each of these.

Question: What feature allows you to more easiely spread things?

I bought this to replace my tiny spatula which had cracked (you know the one you get in the set of three that's super small), and I realized that you always need a small spatula or scraper on hand to scrape out jars. After reviewed a billion reviews, I settled on this one because it seemed to have the force needed to scrape things out, it's small enough to get into narrow jars, and it is one-piece construction. This is great. You basically get two products for the price of one. Although it's rather tall, it has one end that is very narrow and can pretty much fit into any jar. This small head is more rigid so you'll have no problems scraping out a jar with it (other products' reviews noted that if the end is too flexible it can't scrape out a jar of peanut butter; with this one, you'll be fine). The other end is wider - so it won't necessarily fit in a small jar - but it is a nice more flexible type spatula which I find perfect for spreading things. It's also nice to have two ends clean because you can just flip it without having to wash another spatula or get your "project" messy from the first jar you scraped. The cherry is a pretty, very slightly hot pinkish red (some might not see any pink in there, but I do). The quality looks very nice. It is one piece construction so you don't have to worry about water getting between the handle and spatula head and not drying out properly. I would buy this again in a heartbeat and strongly recommend it.
