Question: About how thick is the product?

My bed is a hand-me-down, and it was firm. I wasn't to happy with it but I made due. I prefer a soft bed and so with a foam liner and a decent comforter I made due. After many nights tossing I got this and with those three combined I am much happier. Its not the most plush one out there, but its pretty cozy. At about 2 inches thick and made into squares to keep the materials from shifting too much its pretty nice, especially considering the cost. (Im in the poorhouse at the moment)That all being said, I still use a foam pad under it and a comforter on top to make the bed practically a cloud, and considering how firm it was I must give a good deal of credit to this particular product. So if its just a little extra softness your body craves it will help, but it wont work miracles on its own should you be trying to get from washboard to body-pillow comfort.As far as quality goes, time will tell. So far after a few weeks its doing fine. First wash went ok. The stuffing still in place, but again after many nights on it even the best start to loose their fluffiness. How long will it go only time will tell, but for now, Im enjoying the Z's.

Answer: 2 inches

Question: Why don't these sheets pop off the bed?

I'm so glad i ignored the negative reviews. It states that it is microfiber that feels like egyptian cotton. Not that it is actually egyptian cotton. Maybe that is where the negative reviews are coming from, people expecting actual egyptian cotton. I knew what to expect and it exceeded my expectations. The fabric is extremely soft and smooth. We have a pillow top mattress so our fitted sheets are always popping off. The pockets on these sheets are so deep that they are firmly in place and have never popped off. I will be ordering another set in a different color and would definitly recommend these sheets. I still can't believe how inexpensive they were for such a nice set of sheets.

Question: Does the reviewer believe that she got value for the product?

I received the item in time. And the material is super light weight, but strong. So for the most part, it was a cheap price and the material was decent. The feel of the sheet is comfortable as well.The only issue is that the elastic on the bottom sheet is not strong enough to stay on the bed. It keeps coming off. This is pretty annoying.Overall I'd expect to have some flaws as the price was very low. So I guess I should be happy that the material doesn't rip apart with ease or that it doesn't feel like sand paper.You get what you pay for. I'd say the price is appropriate for the product and not a bargain.

Question: What does it stay cleaner than?

Good things: It is pretty, and I think stays cleaner than a stainless steel kettle, both inside and outside. The short list ends here.Bad things: You have to hold the spout open to pour, which is a pain. The handle is such that you must always protect your hand when pouring with a cloth, or you will get burned every time. It does not pour in a nice flow, it sloshes water all over the place. That is the worst part, that you can't poor without water spattering around. I make coffee pouring boiling water into a funnel. It is about impossible to do this in a proper fashion with this teapot. Often the Whistle does not work. The top is very tight, but still does not seal properly. On reaching the boiling point, water spatters out of the spout opening if you fill it up to anywhere near capacity. As the bottom surface is smaller than in a convention design, you can't heat water up as fast, the flame will go around the pot rather than all hit the bottom.I recently left it on the stove and forgot, and the whistle did not work. The water boiled away. I was overjoyed when I saw that the plastic spout cover was melted, so I could throw it away. I got a stainless steel tea pot at Walmart, and am happy with it.

Question: Is there a product with a better design than the NuWave?

I first purchased the NuWave and loved it until the plastic dome started cracking. Rather than buy another dome, I figured it would be better to purchase a product with a better design such as the Super Wave Oven which has a big glass bowl and a cover on top which should last longer and is easier to wash. The only problem I see with this design which the NuWave overcame is the heating element. The NuWave's heating element is a true infrared carbon heat element which is thick and only glows a little which I can tell will last for a long time. The Super Wave's heating element is a halogen light tube which won't last longer than a year - thus minus one star. The other thing annoying is the loud beeping noise when setting the heat and time. Other than those two things, the oven is great so far.

Question: What problem did the reviewer initially have?

The product itself seems well made with a nice terry cloth top. It was also remarkably easy to slip it onto my queen size 95lb foam mattress. However, it did have a strong odor and still had a slight odor after I washed it. I'm sure it is from the waterproof material that is used in its construction. The title of the item has changed so that the size mattress is more clearly indicated. When I bought it the size was buried in the middle of the title. I got the wrong size, initially, as did at least one other reviewer of this item. While this change to make the mattress size more prominent is useful, it would help if in the photo it indicated what size mattress the protector will fit.

Question: What is the price of the pan the day after I ordered it?

I used this pan for the first time yesterday after watching it for months on Amazon. I made an orange chiffon cake and it released beautifully (I did use some cooking spray) and looked very professional. Makes a great presentation with very little extra effort. I did wash by hand as I would like to preserve the finish on this pan for as long as possible; the crevices didn't pose too big of a problem (not like, say, washing the Nordic Ware garland mini bundt pan by hand). It has a nice heavy feel to it (as their Platinum Collection products tend to)and I would say I'm very satisfied. I ended up getting it when the price dropped to twenty-five dollars, but the day after I had ordered it the price went down to twenty-three dollars. Amazon apparently does not do price adjustments anymore, so I couldn't get that difference in price back, but just be aware that it has gone that low in price and if you are patient and don't need the pan in a hurry it will likely go down in price again. Free shipping was great.

Question: What had 1/16" of dust on it?

I read all of the previous reviews. My research said this was the best item.I have used it for a month. Prefilter had 1/16" of dust on it. The inner filters had very little accumulation. It does better than the name brand tabletop that claims to do a 30' x 30' room. Maybe I expect too much. Will monitor the purifier and advise later if I see noticeable improvement. I am within the parameters listed by manufacturer for the size room purifer to be used in. The problem I am dealing with is dust created by the hot air heating system. The room in question is at the end of the system and deposits dust instead of the air and dust going to the return vents. The furnace is not strong enough. I expect to update this review later.

Question: how long do the freezer trays stay cold?

I've had this salad kit for several years and it remains one of my favorite bowls for work lunches. It holds a medium to large salad. the freezer tray stays cold until needed at lunch time (much better than some of the other stay-fit freezer lids). I pack it in an insulated bag, but haven't ever needed to include an extra ice pack.The dressing container is the perfect size for dressing. The trays are on the small side, but unless you really need a super-size salad, this does help with portion control. I've easily packed enough toppings in tray, which have varied from cheese, chopped or cherry tomatoes, sunflower seeds, croutons, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.

Question: How long does the device have to stand during use?

If you simply want to go back to the '50s this tray is what you want. After reading the instructions that say to let the tray stand 2 min and not fill past 3/4, the tray probably works well. However, by the third filling ice started sticking. I'm used to the plastic trays where the ice drops out easily. After a month the ice stuck so bad (right out of the refrigerator) that I had to run it under water. The tray (I have 3 of them) is an ordinary old fashioned tray of my childhood. The tray is strong but stacking isn't as easy as I would like.. they set atop a narrow ridge in the center of the tray which leaves them teetering. Also, the beautiful blue rubber holders fall off after a few uses. Unless you're prepared to glue them back you might as well throw them away.If this tray cost $6 or $8 I would be happy, but not at $27.50, this is for collectors only.

Question: Whom did they give their old kettle to?

Unfortunately, this item has turned out to be yet another example of the poor quality and workmanship that has become the current standard. No doubt made in China or some sweat shop, this kettle burned out a year and only a few days beyond its warrenty. My last cheapy kettle is over 17 years old and my nephew states that it continues to work like a charm. But such quality is only a small reminder of what once was. I am informed that it would be cheaper to replace this item than to have it repaired. Not likely!

Question: What size is the product?

This is an amazing product - When I ordered it I was concerned that because if was queen/king it would be stretched to the hilt to fit around my king-sized bed - but not the case - Plenty of room to spare - and it was long enough for my extra-deep mattress. It went on so easily - just pull the elastic over the mattress and down the sides. It stays in place beautifully and requires no ironing - it was virtually wrinkle-free - I just touched it up in the dryer for a few minutes. So nice to be able to order this in colors - gives a much more 'finished' look to the bedroom.... Gone are the days of trying to get my mattress over the dust ruffle without tugging / clipping and eventually ripping it... I will never go back to a full bed ruffle again....

Question: How much water does the author say they get out of the air every week?

This is a passive dehumidifier; you will not be pumping gallons of water out of your air every week. I think we get about 1.5L a week, which is enough to keep a good bit dampness out of our 30x30 basement. It puts off a little less noise than a small fan, which makes sense since internally it really is just a small fan. Not silent, but certainly very quiet.This unit has now been in operation 100% of the time for three years and hasn't skipped a beat or whined once.As long as your expectations are appropriate (you're paying $80 as opposed to hundreds for a dehumidifier that does real work [I mean that in a physics sense]), I think you'll be satisfied.

Question: What style of cookie sheets dissapointed the reviewer?

Over the years I have become a fan of most America's Test Kitchen recommendation and a fan of this pan I am. I purchased this pan as a 'tester', as I had suffered way too many disappointments in previous cookie sheet purchases (even the air-bake pans disappointed me). The different styled sides makes this sheet perfect.Two sides of this pan are raised which makes it so easy to pick-up while the other sides are flat making it easy to remove baked food. My 'testing' of this pan is over and I'm planning on purchasing another.

My 'testing' of this pan is over and I'm planning on purchasing another.

Question: Where is the room with the new purifier in it?

Answer: at the end of the system

I read all of the previous reviews. My research said this was the best item. I have used it for a month. Prefilter had 1/16" of dust on it. The inner filters had very little accumulation. It does better than the name brand tabletop that claims to do a 30' x 30' room. Maybe I expect too much. Will monitor the purifier and advise later if I see noticeable improvement. I am within the parameters listed by manufacturer for the size room purifer to be used in. The problem I am dealing with is dust created by the hot air heating system. <hl> The room in question is at the end of the system and deposits dust instead of the air and dust going to the return vents. <hl> The furnace is not strong enough. I expect to update this review later.

Question: How long have they used the product for?

I've been using this product for six months. I bought it after I saw the bottom of my old aluminum surface rice cooker where some area are scratched and chipped after many years of use -- I wonder where the extra aluminum material went!?! This comes with great stainless steel inside cooker (thick bottom). Easy to clean, just soak in water and brush it later. I ordered most of my online purchases through Amazon and they haven't disappoint me yet.Update 05-2014:Still working great after a couple of years. Just keep the steamer basket in a safe place. I bought this primarily for cooking rice but one time I was looking for a steamer when I remembered that this rice cooker came with it. Since then, I used the steamer basket several times and it was like an extra bonus for me. (either steaming while cooking rice or just by itself with water in the bottom).

Question: How many of these products did the author purchase?

Bought two of these to use as a lunch / spot tray for my children. They eat more at lunch if they are allowed to graze while playing. Putting their plates on the floor always ended up in a mishap. These trays have been well received. The kiddos have left their plates on the tray rather than taking them with them to where they are playing and come back and forth to pick. My daughter has also enjoyed using the tray as a coloring spot. They are not super rigid and as an adult you can easily flex them but in my opinion they are great for a childs use.

Question: What is impressive?

I am very excited about this vacuum. Maybe overly excited, because the one I'd been using for the past couple years was purchased by my parents in the mid-90s and it had gotten to the point where you had to twist the handle as far as you could (till it made a crunching noise) and put all your weight on it to get it to clean anything for a few seconds.Anyway. Pretty much any vacuum would be better than that, but this vacuum works and looks better than most others I've used. Its footprint is of a reasonable size, and I appreciate how contained the components and features are. (In the past I have used cumbersome canister vacuums.) I'm very impressed with how close to the wall it picks up dirt. The cleaning wand pops right out and makes it so easy to switch between tasks and get anything the brushroll can't quite reach. The air powered turbo tool gets the stairs cleaner than they've been in recent memory.Above all, I love the HEPA filter. Ordinarily, vacuuming stirs up dust and pollen and allergens that leave me sneezing for hours. Instead of stirring things up, this vacuum actually picks them up. It's so nice to be able to get the floor clean without aggravating my allergies and/or asthma!

Question: What is the hue of the rug?

I have used this multiple times on my living room rug. It is the only carpeting we have in our house and it sure takes a beating. It is a light beige color and this little cleaner made a HUGE difference in it and didn't alter the original color. The spray puts out a flat, uniform line...and then I let that sit for about 30 seconds and then i used the vacuum to suck up the extra water. There is a brush on bottom but I am not sure what it is supposed to do. If you try to use it to scrub while you are vacuuming then it pops off. I got to where I just used it by hand for those extra tough stains and it really helped. The container for the cleaner/water mixture is pretty small so you wont get a huge space done. but as long as you only use this for the small stuff it is perfect. It is easy to take apart and clean so it is definitely going to be my go-to spot lifter.

Question: What color are the sheets that the author purchased?

After reading the mixed reviews on the thin vs. thick dimension, I decided to take a chance and order these sheets. The sheets are on the thin side, but not too thin. They are perfect for summer sheets, easier to make my bed because they are light weight and take up less room/energy for washing and drying. Since my mattress top is a solid white color, there was no "see-through" issue for me to consider. The color is gorgeous. Truly a rich sky blue (more saturated color than the photo) that has a lot of aqua tones in it. The texture of the fabric is very soft. The sheets fit easily over my pillow-top mattress. And my thick "My Pillow" pillows fit nicely into the cases. Also, the pillow cases each have 2 rows of satin piping on the hem --- nice finishing touch.

Question: What is the capacity of this food processor?

I've gone through several food processors in the past few years, and this is by far the best I have ever used. The 12 cup capacity is the perfect size in my opinion: it's large enough to puree large batches of soups, but small enough to be practical to mince up a few cloves of garlic (especially with the mini bowl attachment).I haven't found anything this device can't do. I've liquefied onions for sauces, pureed soups, made doughs, etc, and this thing has taken care of them all. The only downside is that this base of the device is pretty darn hefty...but of course it probably has to be to house a motor this powerful. I used to drag it out of the cabinets each time I needed it, but now I just keep it out on my counter--it's pretty enough to be on display, and useful enough to make its presence there practical.

Question: What does grilled bread accompany?

Bought this pan about a month ago, and have been using it constantly. I've made burgers and steak and they've come out beautifully -- nicely seared on the outside, juicy on the inside. It also makes the best grilled cheese (I use my tea kettle -- filled with water -- as a grill press). I also used it a few times to make grilled bread to accompany soups and salads (touch of garlic-infused olive oil brushed on the surface)and it has really infused the bread with flavor. I find cleaning relatively easy, but you need to let the pan cool first. Then I place it in the sink, squirt dishwashing liquid in it and fill with hot water. Let it soak about 1/2 hour and whatever is stuck on wipes off easily. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Question: Where did the reviewer take a vacation?

This are one of the best kitchen helps out there! I received one as a souvenir gift from an Alaskan cruise. It is one of the handiest things I've ever used! The knife is extremely sharp. The recessed bowl center is wonderful to hold in all the things you're chopping. It makes chopping anything very quick and easy. After seeing me use mine, my mom asked if I could get her one. I was thrilled when I found this one on Amazon. It looks very well made and just like the one I already had. So, I know she'll be pleased with it. These things just can't be beat!

Question: Is the juicer attachment easy to purchase by itself?

Bought this last fall. I really have enjoyed its versatility - but find that so far, I've used it mainly to make the expensive shredded cheese - which I then freeze. I've mixed smoothies, cookie dough and much more. We've chopped potatoes into chips, veggies, etc. I have absolutely no complaints. Love it.Update 4/2011: It has been used almost daily since we bought it. We frequently use the juicer attachment. We love this thing so much we are attempting to prepare for the inevitable day when we may need new parts and have begun to look for another juicer attachment (hard to find alone) and the main bowl. There is nothing wrong with them or the machine, but we just want to be prepared so that if/when that day comes, we don't discover it is no longer being manufactured. Love it even more than I did a year and 1/2 ago! :-)

Question: Which room has been cleaned with this vac?

It's a little larger than a standard hand vac, but I was looking for something with power because I'm not the best housekeeper. This is it. It picks up everything. The exhaust, a source of concern on some reviews, is strong, but it's on the back. As long as you start at the back of the room or the bottom of the stairs, you're blowing on a clean surface so it doesn't matter. It's so strong I had to hold it above my stairs because the suction was making it stick to the wood. But held a couple inches above it was picking everything up. I only had this "problem" on the stairs. I left my regular vac downstairs and did my bathroom with this too because it was easier.A total keeper.

Question: is the hanger made of hard wood?

Smooth wood & no rough metal connections for scarves to snag on, and good-sized rings that will rotate up or down...perfect! At 1st I thought that the rings didn't rotate on the hanger as advertised, but I found that if you grasp a ring and then firmly push it a 1/4 turn, it will stay in that position....or any position between straight up and lying parallel to the floor. The wood is very soft and twisting the ring will cause the hole to widen. I put my scarves on it with the rings turned just slightly for ease of getting them on and off. This is a functional and attractive addition to my closet...love it!

Question: Was the item the same that they purchased before?

I purchased this item from mendingshed.com and noticed it was thinner than the one I was replacing. I figured that it said it was the replacement for my pressure cooker so I figured it would be OK. I was wrong! I'm glad I tried it with just water to be sure. Not sure what the return policy is here but where I purchased it they didn't even respond back to my correspondence. Would have purchased it here had I known they had it but then again, it may have been the thinner one also. Will most likely not use that pressure cooker any more but the next one I purchase I'll make sure I get 2 gaskets.

Question: What do Easter Island people call sculptures?

April 2012:I've enjoyed owning this item for years. I mounted it on a 1" thick frame on the wall. The frame has a cutout which fits a `standard' tissue box - it looks like a picture frame. The tiki box is mounted to the frame using a 2-inch' brass hinge at the top - had to drill holes in top of the box to fasten the hinge with small bolts/nuts. When `closed,' the box covers the cutout which is holding the tissue box. Works well, looks good. I painted the frame a dark off-green to go with the color of the face, which is called a 'Moai,' (sculpture) by the Easter Island people. Great conversation piece!

I painted the frame a dark off-green to go with the color of the face, which is called a '<hl> Moai <hl>,' (sculpture) by the Easter Island people. Great conversation piece!

Question: What meal was this primarily purchased for?

I read the dimensions for this and I thought it would be perfect. It's my fault I want it to be a tad bigger, but I just do. Maybe just a half an inch or inch larger in either direction, and it would be perfect, but don't get me wrong this is a good little griddle. I've cooked steaks, pork chops, bacon and eggs, etc on this and it works very well. Yet, I brought this primarily for breakfast and it's hard to fit 3 thick slices of bacon and two eggs on there. I can make it work, but I don't have the egg shaper pictured in the advert. Who knows maybe I'll get that one day, but without it is hard to get everything on there without stuff running into each other. Again though, this is a great personal griddle that will fit in any cabinet and the price makes it worth it. I'll probably get a bigger one, but for now I'm satisfied with what I got. Just be sure you clearly understand that the dimensions of the grill are exactly what they say, so if you want something bigger then don't buy this grill.

Question: What is one negative aspect that the reviewer states?

Great price for this many hangers. Take up little space and are light but also break easily with little pressure. Best for light items but a great value if you need a lot of hangers.

Question: What brands of decanters does this fit?

Considering that most high quality decanters come without stoppers, this simple object should be essential for most wine lovers. We don't often decant wine, and when we do, we usually consume the whole bottle in one evening. However, this stopper is perfect for those times when you can't finish the wine the same day. It is high quality glass, free of bubbles and defects. It is satisfyingly heavy and very good quality. Additionally, it fits both of our decanters (Spiegelau and Riedel) perfectly, giving us the chance to enjoy the wine in decent condition the next day. We are very pleased with it.

Question: What brand are the liners?

Got the standard size white cups; nothing special about them as they're just your basic white cupcake liner. Reason I'm not giving it a favorable review: Very much dislike the fact that the packaging of these Regency liners had two airholes in the plastic wrapping (What for? There's NO need for holes!) So, my first impression - unsanitary. They should be tightly packaged, especially for being a food-related item you can't wash. It was literally covered in brown dust/fine powder like it was on the shelf for months without dusting and I know some of this dirty powder got into the wrapping via the holes on both sides; hence onto the liners. I've a neuroticism about cleanliness so this was a turn-off. I'm going to be baking foods in these things and it's not like you can wash them beforehand, because hello, they're thin paper! I subsequently purchased the Wilton cupcake linersWilton Assorted Baking Cups, 75 Countwhich were not only cheaper (and didn't have any of the dust blanketing the product's casing) but were also of much higher quality; plus, the packaging of these liners were enclosed in a tough plastic wrap with ZERO HOLES for dirt to get in.

Question: How long has the reviewer have the brewer for?

OK, so I jumped on the K Cup Brewer bandwagon for about 2 months. I tried to like it, bought tons of K Cup beverages of all kinds but realized this just is not for me. I like real coffee, and the watered-down coffee this machine and all other brands like it just doesn't fill the bill.I've tried the extra bold K Cups that contain more coffee than the standard ones, but to no avail.Needless to say, I have sold the Cusinart, stopped using the Keurig at the jobsite and have gone back to a real brewer.This was for me just an overpriced, short-lived fad.

Question: How many tea leafs were in the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew?

I got this for my daughter, who is an avid tea drinker. She has tried diffusers, strainers and many other loose tea devices. All of the other products leave some level of tea leaves in the cup. With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew, there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! Not one!The other side - cleaning. Cleaning any loose leaf/grind product can be problematic, this one is no more difficult. It is easier to clean if you let the leaves/grinds dry out before removal. If you want another cup before the residue dries, a tap or two against the trash can combined with a wipe of a paper towel, and a swish of water to rinse takes care of any leftover tea remains.Bottom line - very quick, very easy to use. No tea leaves floating around! This is a winner!

Question: does it take up space?

This fan does the job well and looks great on your desk without taking up too much room. It is powerful enough to cool one person on either of the two available settings, and it's nice and quiet. The oscillating function works great. I am overall very happy with this product.The two things I find mildly annoying:1) When turning the fan off while it is oscillating, it stops at whichever position it was oscillating at. While it's not a big deal, it drives me crazy, because I like it to be straight and aligned with the base while not in use, and if you turn it off at random, the top part may be pointing off the base to either side. So each time I want to turn it off, I have to wait for the top part to align with the base and then turn it off promptly. Not a good thing for a compulsive person.2) The switches aren't very ergonomic because you need two hands to operate: one to hold the fan in place, and another to push the button. With one hand only the fan will keep sliding out of reach and you'll never be able to turn it on/off.

Question: What does the package include?

I purchased these boxes to store small items in an Ikea Besta cabinet and it works perfectly for that! The size allows two across plus two stacked on a shelf. With the locking top, you can even cant one sideways and put it at an angle on the same shelf.The parts stored include everything from small hardware (screws, nuts, fasteners) to hand tools to wires and even power transformers for small electronics.It's great to be so organized!

Question: Does the single wall provide a  lot of insulation?

I have a 12-ounce original "This is Not a Paper Cup" that I've used for quite a while, and wanted a slightly larger similar version. As they say, this one is single walled, so not much on the thermal insulation. It's a glossy finish, and the sleeve is comfortable, and is easily slid off for washing. The lid is the same size as my other one, which makes it convenient. As of today, I can vouch for the sturdiness - I knocked it off the countertop, and it hit the un-carpeted floor with a thud, but had no damage.

Question: Where was this product purchased?

My husband bought this from Walmart - he wanted to get away from teflon. After 2 weeks of frying a few things in it - eggs would not come out - they started sticking, badly. I took it back and exchanged for another. Here we are, 2 months later, trying desperately to make it last because, once again, everything is sticking and you better not even put eggs in it.Poor product, will never buy another - still looking for that idea to get away from teflon - but not in this company.I have a picture of what it looks like now after washing - the dark spots are where the food sticks if you need a visual

Question: Where did the recipe come from?

I saw a pizelle maker in Crate and Barrell and the associate convinced me how delicious they were, and that they were an italian tradition. My husband has italian heritage so I was easily convinced to get one. C&B was backordered for 4 months. I looked on Amazon and bought the same brand, which I am exceptionally please that I did. I love, love, love my pizzelle maker! I got the recipe on Allrecipes.com. A helpful hint is to put the batter towards the back half of the hot grill plate and as you close the lid, it will ooze forward. It really doesn't take a lot of batter. I also realized that they use these for ice cream bowls. Man, you can't go wrong with it!

Question: How can it be stored

I purchased this as a set to use when guests visit during the winter months (contrary to belief, Central Florida dips into sub freezing a few times during the winter.)Like others have said, the colors are vivid. Surprisingly so. And the comforter is ...comfortable and is a good fit on my bed. The entire ensemble will transform any bed into an inviting refuge for guests and the colors match the rest of my home's decor.Do be aware that this is 100% poly, which should not come as a shock given the price. I mention this because this set is comfortable for occasional use like for guests, but not bedding that I would want to sleep on for prolonged periods. I seem to have a built-in aversion to poly. On the plus side, though, is these are machine washable and durable - and very easy to care for.Another plus for me is this set can be refolded and stored in a compact manner, so between guest visits it's out of sight and takes up little space.For the price you cannot go wrong. Even if you use these yourself as an everyday comforter set you should be pleased by the quality and beauty of this ensemble.

Question: Why should you score the bread?

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!
