Question: What piece of the equipment warped?

I make a LOT of popcorn now! This wastes a lot of kernels, but the kernels are super cheap, and I didn't want an air-popper that plugs in, takes up space, and needs constant monitoring*.The bottom of this bowl has some brown spots where kernels burnt a bit (rare, but it happens. It's my own fault for pushing the "popcorn" button on the microwave when the nordic ware instructions say not to, right?), and the lid has warped upward after repeated steaming. I suspect eventually the lid will fit too poorly for the popper to work, so I may have to lay a ceramic dish over the bendy-bits to keep in down in the near future.This washes up just fine in the dishwasher, and obviously performs well in the microwave as well.*ok, ok, so all popping methods are supposed to require constant monitoring. Follow all instructions for safety, and so on.

Answer: the lid

Question: How many did they order for themselves?

I was looking for a long time solution for my non stick skillet. My wife and I go thru one of these twice a year. I bought the 12.5 inch and using my gas grill and flax seed oil, put a non stick surface on the skillet that was the color of light carbon and tough. As long as you don't wash it with detergent or put acidic liquid, such as lemon juice, it will last. Metal turners, no problem. I liked it so much, I ordered one for each of my son's and two smaller ones for myself. Let me repeat don't wash, only use hot water and paper towels or plastic brushes, and no acidic juice. After each use, i put a few drops of oil in the skillet and wipe with a paper towel. It's ready for the next use.

Question: Who do I expect the system for?

They call it a whole house filtration system, which would lead you to believe that everything you need to install is included, but it's not. And installation is much more involved than I expected. Basically this is just the filter and a large fiberglass cap that has to be inserted into your main water line. And for proper install, you would also have to buy pipes and valves that would let you bypass the filter in order to swap it out. It is priced accordingly,tho, as you'll see that just the filter alone costs almost as much as this "system". Overall, I'm disappointed, and was expecting something more feasible for the DIYer, and I just don't think this is it.

Question: What did you purchase this pan with?

I purchased this in conjunction with a bread maker. I am much happier with this than the bread machine. As long as I make the dough correctly this pan does the job! I have made some french baguettes with this that are better than the ones they sell at Whole Foods and Hannafords(a local supermarket chain). Make sure that you place the dough in the pan for its last rise so you don't deflate it moving it over before cooking. Also, make sure to slice it down the middle or in strips across the top, the top strips work better for me, this is to let it expand properly when cooking. I recommend this pan!

Question: What store can a shop vac be purchased from?

First if you are looking for a vac with the most suck, this is not the one. Hey, get a shop vac from Sears. I've had one 35 years and it still out sucks them all.Having said that, this Cordless from Hoover is Great! I've had a lot of vacs. I loved the big hoover with a bag but my wife kept giving them away because she couldn't muscle it around.Of all the vacs that I have had since they all have one thing in common. Just as I need to go another five feet I run out of cord. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! I'm sick and tired of running out of cord. I tried adding a 50' extension cord but it seemed to get wrapped around everything. A royal pain in the aspen. But in comes the Hoover stick. It has good pickup, I finish before the battery dies and then just stand it up in the colset. It's great, easy to use and I actually vac more often. I can't give a carpet rating as I only have hardwood floors but it sure does the job for me and I have two 65 lb boxers that are always on the wrong side of the door. LOL

Question: What is a flimsy piece of junk?

After switching from a flimsy piece of junk like the Hamilton-Beach I used for years, it is such a pleasure to go to the real McCoy; the Oster. A well made product with simple yet effective controls and solidly built and reliable. It makes the H-B feel like a cheap toy. The Oster is a power tool for the kitchen and a good value.

Question: Why were they worried?

This is a great pan! I have long preferred silicone bakeware to traditional metal because of easy release of baked goods and quick cleanup, but this was my first foray into whimsically moulded silicone pans. I had some concerns that the pan wouldn't release the cakes from the crevices (petals), but everything turned out perfectly! I am glad I bought the Freshware brand, as the pan is of very good quality (and I know my silicone bakeware), but was of the lowest price for this type of design (rose).Follow the instructions to oil the pans before first use, and you won't have any sticking issues thereafter, even without greasing.However, I do have one word of advice - and this is true for all moulded bakeware, not only silicone. Please use denser, sturdier batters. Liquidy cake batters bake too tender and crumbly to survive unmoulding, and it won't be the pan's fault if your baked goods break and crumble.

Question: What material is the storage bag made from?

The storage bag I got is different from the picture. It's a mesh see-through material, where in the picture it doesn't look like it would be see-through. It still does what it's supposed to, so no complaints. I love the velcro loop at the top that I can use to hang it on the bar under the shelf in my closet.

Question: Why is it hard to put flannel sheets on?

Recommended. I bought a couple, two years ago. I wash every couple months. I am careful not to dry on high heat. The coating inside looks like a plastic, and I haven't wanted to risk melting. With gentle low heat or hang drying, they have lasted and still appear to be an effective barrier. Although I haven't had a bug problem to say for sure.The only challenge is if you have fluffy pillows (mine are down) and you use this case, it is near impossible to put flannel sheets on because of the friction of the case loops and the flannel.

Question: What did they buy years ago?

I bought the Dirt Devil Breeze years ago and it is still running. I have always liked it; it is pretty light-weight and handles easily. The cord is super long. So when Amazon offered the Breeze at a really good price, I grabbed this one as a second one in the house. One thing I like about it is the fact that it is bagless. We have a Black Lab and it is amazing the amount of dog hair it picks up that you see in the reservoir after running it. It is easy to empty. The tube snaps off the cleaner easily and you can dump the dirt right in the garbage can. There is really nothing I dislike about it. For the price, it is highly recommended. Although I have a bigger sweeper, I keep using the Breeze. It would be perfect for an apartment as it is a bit smaller than the full size cleaners yet not too small to be annoying. Also, it would be good for those who have a hard time pushing and pulling a cleaner around. The new Breeze features have changed a little but so far I have had no problems.

Question: What is their wife good at making?

My wife is a muffin maker supreme. Seriously, she makes the best muffins in the known universe. Which means our house is filled with baking pans of every variety. Silicone. Metal. Paper. Everything.She has tried a variety of silicone baking pans, of which this “Ozera 2 Pack Silicone Muffin Pan” is the latest. While she is a fan of the silicone baking cup liners, this full-fledged pans don’t get her seal of approval. All for the same reason; they are too floppy.These pans are way too floppy to use on their own. They have to be set on a rigid baking sheet in order to get them in and out of the oven. And once out of the oven, they are unwieldy to use. She much prefers the regular metal pans with the silicone baking cups. They cook better and are easier to use.That said, this Ozera product is as good as any other we have used. There was nothing in particular to distinguish it from other silicone muffin pans. It is pretty generic. It really boils down to whether or not you are a fan of silicone muffin pans or not. If you are, then these Ozera pans will be just what you need.Sample provided for review.

Question: How many other rice cookers does the author own?

I own two other rice cookers and this is the best and my favorite. I can not wait to make bread in it! It is a small rice cooker that is perfect for a small family.Adding a bit more detail as of May 25, 2009 - I really can not say enough about this rice cooker. I use it on a daily basis to make jasmine rice. My jasmine rice comes out perfect on the quick cycle. Try adding a little bit of olive oil in with the rice before it begins boiling. Not too much. I have found just a little bit of olive oil gives it a nice sheen and keeps it from gumming up and getting too sticky. Of course, sometimes sticky is good. Especially when making Korean BBQ. Yum!

Question: Where did this shopper buy their other spoon years ago?

I bought this based on an America's Test Kitchen recommendation. I have another big, high-quality spoon bought at a restaurant-supply store many years ago, but this is the one I use most often. That slight angle of the handle really makes basting -- and scooping out grease from the top of a simmering homemade stock or stew, or bottom of the pan while browning something -- faster and easier. Nice to use as a serving spoon, too. It's well-balanced and has a quality feel to it that helps make cooking a pleasure.

Question: What is the name of the device the user is touting?

I use a lot of recipes from the internet, and this is the ideal way to store those print out sheets of paper. Before, I would just bring my laptop into the kitchen. The problem with that was that if I wanted to use that recipe again later, (usually for me, months later), I would forget exactly which site and recipe I had used. This is also excellent for those printed out recipes that I get from friends and family. I love it, and am much more organized with this in my kitchen. By the way, it is very solid and stands sturdy. My only concern is that when I have used all 26 pages, I don't think Umbra offers refill pages.

The problem with that was that if I wanted to use that recipe again later, (usually for me, months later), I would forget exactly which site and recipe I had used. This is also excellent for those printed out recipes that I get from friends and family. I love it, and am much more organized with this in my kitchen. By the way, it is very solid and stands sturdy. <hl> My only concern is that when I have used all 26 pages, I don't think Umbra offers refill pages. <hl>

Question: What rating did the reviewer give?

So far no complaints! I've used it to cover a pan when frying to prevent splatters, and also as a flour sifter. Worked better for the first purpose, but just fine for the second as well. I read reviews complaining about rust forming, so I'm careful to wash it right after using and drying it well, and I haven't had that problem yet. My only comment is if you use it with a hot pan, it also gets hot, so be careful not to touch it except at the handle. (This is probably quite obvious, but in a moment of distraction I forgot and burned myself. Still rating 5 stars since this is not a problem with the screen!)

Question: What presents a challenging cleaning problem for the reviewer?

This is a great little steam mop -- perfect for the kitchen. We have stone tiles in the kitchen and I've been finding it hard to clean lately. I don't like using a lot of chemicals, so I've been boiling water and using that as mop water. This is perfect -- saves me a step and works twice as well! The cord is really short, so I have to unplug it and re-plug it in 3 times in order to do the whole kitchen, but that's really my only complaint. I also wish there was another cloth that came with it so I would always have one ready when the other one is in the wash. Quick to heat up and quick to dry as well. Really enjoying this product!

Question: How many stars did the reviewer give the product?

Just started using this. First K cup machine purchase (dual brewing system). The K Cup side is limited to 10oz per brewing, which in my house means at least 2 KC to a "real" mug of coffee. Maybe that's normal for K Cup brewers, but I think it's a bit wasteful -packaging-wise and means you have to hang out to brew the second one before drinking your full-mug of coffee. I'll adapt :-) Drink half now and then brew more? The instructions are a bit misleading about the KCup process, but you'll figure it out. Don't really like that BOTH warmers heat up -instead of just the one you are using. The main pot got pretty darn hot while I was using the KC side. Only other thing to mention is it's a bit loud when it brews using the KCup side. Space is ok, appearance is ok. I would say it's a good purchase if the price is good. I think the dual brew option is the primary reason we purchased this particular machine, so with that in mind I'd give it a 5 star rating, but the lack of a temperature setting along with no separate warming option is why it's a 4 star IMO.

Question: What is the cheaper coffee press made from?

Apart from aesthetics, there's no advantage to the more expensiveBodum Chambordcoffee press over this far more affordable plastic model. The plastic frame even seems to protect theglass beakerfrom damage, serving as a bit of a bumper. (Also note that the complete Brazil press is often sold cheaper than the replacement beaker by itself!) The only cheaper French press of decent quality is Ikea'sUPHETTAmodel, but that one is nominally 32 oz., a bit smaller in capacity than Bodum's 34 oz. carafe, and has a slightly less effective, coarser screen filter.Capacity: In practice you end up getting a bit less than the stated amount of coffee; though they're sometimes called "8-cup" models in their own weird nomenclature, these are actually good for about 30 oz. of actual coffee, which fills about 3 small coffee mugs, or 2.5ish large mugs.The coffee all of these models produce is excellent, like any French press — thick and full of the extracted oils from the coarsely ground coffee, far more flavorful than drip-brewed and also stronger and more caffeinated. It pays to start with fresher beans and a lighter roast than you might be used to, and experiment to determine how strong you like it.

Question: What does the poster say is wonderful, sarcastically?

The Amazon reviews are mixed, and for good reason. Mine arrived with a couple small scratches in the otherwise very cool candy-apple red surface. Oh well. But the really bad news was yet to come. After doing the suggested burn-in (one cycle with no bread - and yep, there really is a noxious odor from that), I set the darkness control to about 4.5 (ranges from 1 to 7). Burnt, completely burnt. So I set it down to 3.5. Burnt again. 2.5 - barely brown. 3 - burnt. And, as other reviews note, it doesn't toast evenly on both sides. One reviewer thought that was great; I think it sucks. I guess Oster is owned by Sunbeam, and who knows who owns them, but these products that are thrown together in China or elsewhere where they pay $.02/hr for labor can hardly be expected to be reliable, can they? Aint the global economy f'in' wonderful?!

Question: What kind of breaks have they made so far?

This stone does not leave my oven because I use it so much. So far I have baked artisan bread, pizza crust, pastries, pretzels, and all other types of bread on it and it keeps on asking for more.The only problem you will encounter is if you make pizzas on it or bake breads that have a higher than normal oil content that will stain the stone, the stain will not leave and the color will eventually darken. This does not take away from the performance at all, so dont let that slow you down from buying it.

Question: What problem can prevent being able to scrape out peanut butter?

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.

Question: What is the brand name of the tester to check water quality?

I am new to Reverse Osmosis (RO) filter sys. I bought a Intellitec water purity tester to check water quality. The tester reads Total Dissolved Solids(TDS), in parts per million (PPM).

Question: What feature makes the product effortless to carry

First of all, let's get to the minor flaws. This crock pot was slightly larger than what I thought it'd be, so it wasn't as easy to carry. That's pretty much it for the negatives. Everything else about this product works for me. It kept my food warm for a loooong time, and it definitely saved time(no more reheating food that's been ignored on the table!)during dinnertime. Plus, the handles are easy to grip, so you can carry this with ease(just know that's it's kind of heavy).So, if you don't mind the size and the weight, this crockpot can be a good addition to your kitchen.

Question: What brand is their cartridge?

Having made my first batch with the included mix I found it very easy and the instructions very clear. I used tap water filtered through a Walgreens pitcher filter with a Culligan cartridge in it and the beer tasted very good to me. I followed the instructions exactly as many other reviewers suggested. For a real test I gave some to four different people to try and they all liked it. Their opinions ranged from this is good beer to this is great and I didnt have the heart to tell them how easy it was. They are convinced I have this exotic brewery but with this kit and following the instructions you will get a nice beer.

Question: How much does it cost the bottle opener?

OK, who really needs a $12 bottle opener? Well, no one. But, if you are like me and enjoy a great craft beer almost every day, this opener makes your evening ritual just a little nicer. The opener itself is as close to perfect as any opener can be, and for that it deserves a look. It will last forever and when you die, your kids may fight over it. So why not treat yourself to one of life's little pleasures (opening your bottle in style) just before you enjoy one of life's most exquisite pleasures, a great glass of beer!

Question: What brand vacuum did the person finish using?

Look, to tone down those who say that the bag is not HEPA, 'reality check' nowhere on the bag does it say HEPA. I have used these bags and for the price they are great. As one reviewer states "It's good to have inexpensive cloth instead of the paper" AMEN. I just finished using my almost new Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900 (on sale $59 excellent value)to clean the fine remaining ash in my fireplace, my previous bag would have allowed the fine particles to escape... this bag did not - Kudos! For the money, Highly Recommended.

Question: What room did they put the tv stand?

I love this TV stand. It looks great in my living room with my black leather furniture and my black curtain panels. It has a very modern, sleek look that I find very appealing. This thing was a beast to put together though. There were A LOT of pieces in the box. The assembly instructions are pictures. While I usually prefer this option, there were a couple of photos that required some studying. My husband and I worked on putting it together for a couple of hours the day it arrived and my husband ended up finishing it the next day while I was at work. Even though the assembly was quite a bit of work, I think the finished product was worth it.

This thing was a beast to put together though. There were A LOT of pieces in the box. The assembly instructions are pictures. While I usually prefer this option, there were a couple of photos that required some studying. My husband and I worked on putting it together for a couple of hours the day it arrived and my husband ended up finishing it the next day while I was at work. Even though the assembly was quite a bit of work, I think the finished product was worth it.


Question: What kind of pillow does the customer like?

I really like a latex pillow. It gives you fluff and won't quit on you. Only thing is my ear feels squeezed and irritated. BUT, I found a way around that. I cut a 7" round cup in thecenter of the pillow, about an 1-1 1/2 deep ( easy to do ) and put it back together.This gives my ear a little place to rest; without feeling squeezed and it supports, my head. Good night sleep. This will only work on memory foam or latex pillows. And you can always turn it over, to avoid the hole.I also ordered the 'high fluff' one, to try it out. But, I likethe high fluff one. More head support and it stays fluffed up.The other one is for people who like to lie their head flat, witha little fluff.

Question: How hot can these get?

I finally abandoned aluminum foil and both types of aluminum pie shields in favor of the silicone pie shield. I use my own pie pans and make my own crusts and the aluminum shields never fit quite right.Harold Imports Mrs. Anderson's 9-Inch Pie Shield,Progressive International Pie Crust ShieldsI bought two of the pie shields, and they worked perfectly on my 9" pie pans even with the decorative edge on the crust. I left them on through the entire baking time, and the edge of the crust turned out nicely browned all the way around. The shield becomes very hot in the oven so care should be taken when handling it.The shield provides ample protection for the crust without covering the pie filling, and they can be easily removed without worrying about damaging the edge of the crust. Unlike the aluminum shields, the silicon pie shield won't become dented or banged up after a few uses or storage mishaps. This pie shield costs just a tad bit more than the aluminum ones, but it is well worth the extra cents especially if you bake a lot of pies.The shield is dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 450 degrees F.

Answer: oven safe up to 450 degrees F.

Question: What is the author's primary issue with the product?

After all the great reviews I am really disapointed. First, wow, beautiful machine. But, every latte was horribly weak - problem is the steam wand. No matter how long I heated it up, primed it whatever, the steam is just not that strong. When steaming into an empty cup, waited until just steam (no running water), and ended up with 1/4 cup water in the cup! I know $100.00 is not much for a good machine, but I still think that's alot of money and now also a big waste of my time. Returning the machine.

Question: What does the writer not feel the need for?

Five years on lesser quality mattresses of the same type overseas made me a believer in not needing a box spring. I didn't think I would find these great mattresses here in the USA. This is the absolute best and most comfortable mattress I have ever laid on, and please, do not think for a minute you need a 10,12, or 14 inch mattress of this sort. I typically used a 4 or 6 inch mattress of this type with great results in the Philippines. $250 for this, or $1,000 for a conventional mattress/box spring with equal comfort that will be loaded with dust mites in a couple years. My weight is 230 btw, it's great.About the smell, little bit, not a problem. I'm asthmatic, did not bother me.

Question: What can be found on the lid?

Even with the great reviews, I was skeptical about using an electric wok. What a nice surprise! I am very pleased with this wok after using it several times. Meat gets a nice sear at the highest setting and veggies, rice, noodles, etc. cook nicely as well. I love that it's easy to clean and the optional steam vents on the lid are a nice addition. The finish is still perfect, although I cannot get myself to use metal utensils on it. It's just too gorgeous to risk scratching, even if it's supposed to be durable enough to handle it. I've been recommending this wok to my friends and family. I have no complaints.

Question: Where did the customer place the grinder once the herbs were placed in it?

I read all the reviews before I purchased this but decided to try it anyway since I was throwing out herbs that would not last more than a day or so. I expected it to be difficult to assemble and disassemble. I understood that once herbs were placed in it, it needed to be frozen before use. So, I thought I really had realistic expectations. When it arrived, I was pleased that assembly and dis-assembly was much easier than I expected. I read and followed directions and it was really pretty easy. I had just purchased fresh basil a day earlier so I placed it in the grinder and placed grinder in the freezer. The directions only have one small note about it working once herbs are frozen in it. However, the box it comes in clearly indicates it as a frozen herb grinder. I used the basil again a few days later...just ground what I needed from the mill and popped it back in the freezer for the next time. It was fast, easy and perfect. The herbs thaw almost instantly once ground and exposed to air or heat of food. They looked fresh, tasted fresh and smelled fresh. This was total perfection for me. I love this mill and have just ordered 2 more. Total thumbs up for me.

Question: How quickly does the rug dry?

This rug started out in my bathroom and I absolutely loved it. Then my daughter stole it for her bathroom and left a similar colored one in its place and that helped me realize how different this rug was. Comfy soft, non-skid bottom and very absorbent. We do hang it up to dry when it is wet and it drys very quickly unlike the similar replacement. I have since taken my rug back and my daughter is waiting for them to be in stock again on Amazon to order her own. We are very pleased with this product.

Question: What size is the unit?

I did not quite appreciate how large this thing is. it is like a big gallon ice-cream bucket. One issue is that it is not refillable. It has a paper seal over the top that you leave on, and no upper basekt like the units I am familiar with (that you can refill).

Question: Why did the author only give 4 stars?

I just used this for the first time over the weekend and it really worked wonderfully. I made gluten-free waffles and they came out like we were in a restaurant. My husband loved it! I will say I had to cook them longer that what the book that comes with the plates suggests, but no harm no foul. The reason for the 4 stars is that the plates don't fit the Griddle all the way, there is a bit of room between the plates and the base, which is not the case for the regular plates. So far that hasn't meant anything, but I've only used them once.

Question: Who did the writer buy this coffee maker for?

This coffee maker and I have a long relationship. I love it. It makes great coffee. I have bought it for all my family members who drink coffee and they all love it. It has been a consistently good performer. I did have one incident and that is with the first cord. After two years it heated up too fast and flipped the circuit. I replaced the chord and it works well again. The coffee is hot and because it percolates the coffee you can use less of it, especially if you grind it very fine. It is cute too, washes easily, Dip-It cleans the residue that accumulates over time. Most important thing to remember is to always, always pour the water in first. Forgetting the water and plugging it in equals ruined coffee maker.

Question: How many pounds of carrots will they buy next week?

I bought these because I do a lot of freezing of extra milk or fruit or vegetable juices that I make up. I wanted something that would give me a 'glassful' of juice or milk thawed out at a time. I liked what I got. I got a new juicer and the carrots that had been waiting for me to juice were going bad. I had a lot of carrots to process in one day and I needed to store them in the freezer. These were perfect! I got all the carrots processed and put in these little jars into the freezer and saved a lot of money by not having to throw out carrots or carrot juice that I couldn't drink in one day (fruit and vegetable juices that are fresh juiced need to be drank the same day if in the 'fridge.) I just finished off the last 8-ounce jar of juice today that I had stored in the freezer. I'll be repeating the process next week when I get more juicing carrots in 15 pound bags. I'm grateful to have these jars from Ball for all my freezer needs. There is also a 30 piece set of freezer jars by Ball also available that I will be buying soon. I found that when I figured it out, those would be more cost efficient for my needs. But these are great if you don't have allot to freeze. I highly recommend these.

Question: What does twisting the stem of the glasses put on it?

I've been using Riedel vinum glasses for a number of years now, and wouldn't consider any other brand.Personally, I find it hard to believe that anyone can tell the difference between wine served in a Riedel glass compared to a plastic cup. However, I think a beautiful, well made glass adds to the experience of enjoying a fine wine. These glasses will make it clear to your guests that you're pouring the good stuff!I purchased this set of two glasses to replace two that I broke. I've since learned the trick to not breaking them is to avoid twisting the stem/base while drying the glass. The joint between the stem and the glass is the weakest part, and twisting will put too much torque on this point.

Question: How does the reviewer feel about her toaster purchase?

This is definetly the most Beautiful Toaster I have ever seen, a Bright Candy Apple Red. The controls are excellent and the inside of a bagel etc... needs to be pointed in. The end that is cut. Some have complained about not toasting one side, I read the directions before use and it explained all of the things that were discussed in the reviews negatively. It is an Excellent Toaster ! Doesn't take up too much counter space and toasts nice size pieces of bread if you make homemade bread. I love my Beautiful Candy Apple Red Toaster and the Price too was Excellent. No complaints from me at all ! I'm very happy with my purchase.

Question: What size are they

Granite counters have taken a toll on my glassware and so, being down to a mis-matched 6 or so remaining, I was torn between plastic (cheesy) and a better glass product. After reading many Amazon customer reviews on the above mentioned glassware, I chose to replace my mess with 12 new ones and I love them! Sure, with a hard enough drop, they will still break but not easily. I believe that these glasses are of restaurant/bar/commercial quality and will last a good long time and for the price, I think that I may just buy another set for back-stock.So, if you want a great glass in a large size and you don't want plastic, I completely recommend these glasses.
