Question: What is the shape of the blades compared to?

I bought this unit mainly for grinding dry spices. I used to grind them in a mortar and pestle which usually takes about 10-15 minutes with pain and agony, and that didn't even do the job. With this grinder, I load the spices in...boom, boom and boom - literally 3 pushes, I got beautiful spices ground to fine powder in about 7 SECONDS! The amazing thing about this grinder is that it doesn't use sharp blades, it's more like a propeller and I like it because it's safe contact with my fingers when being cleaned.This is an incredible grinder at an unbeatable low price, I might as well buy another one to grind coffee beans (perhaps in black), I bought this model in white.Pros:*Light/Compact and does what it suppose to do*Acceptable noise level (not as loud as expected)*Stylish Design*Best Value/Price*Safe and sound, no sharp blades to deal with when cleaning.Cons:*Fine powder particles tend to stick to and under the propeller area which makes it a bit hard to clean (for this, I will buy a small brush to do the job).*Grind button from cap which connects to body device seems a bit flimsy, not sure how long this will hold up.*Power Cord is a bit short (apprx. 2 feet)

Question: Keeping the serving sizes reasonable helps to what?

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: Does the tool lose its edge easily?

I do not use the julienne tool but the peeler alone is worth the money. It is the best peeler I have ever used. It is very slightly serrated and has never gotten dull. If you've never used a horizontal blade, the vertical peeling motion can be off-putting at first but once you get used to it, you'll find the downward - instead of sideways - motion more natural, and the longer strokes will make you faster at peeling and the slight serrate on the blade makes every stroke stick. You can get into a fast rhythm instead of the peeler sliding off the veggie/fruit every couple of strokes with a flat-bladed peeler.

Question: how does the writer feel about the product overall?

This compact vacuum cleaner as several cool features to recommend it. First of all is the new canister. Unlike old cordless vacuums with messy canisters that always manage to get dirt on the floor, this one keeps the mess to a minimum with a button that pops the canister open at the bottom but does not require you to take it completely off. This feature allows you to empty it easier and with less mess. The retractable nozzle keeps you from storing attachments. While the weight is a touch heavy, the suction power is good and makes up for it. Overall, I am very pleased with this vacuum.

Question: In addition to meat, what breakfast food was cooked on the product?

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 caused the smoke detector to go off?

I've been using my Breville three months now and love it. I live alone so this is a perfect little oven for me! The only problem I had was my smoke detector kept going off when I used "broil" I learned to overcome this problem by using the lower rack instead of the suggested top rack. (you can always make adjustments with this oven)Pizza is great as I can set the oven for two small slices. What an improvement over using a microwave which totally deletes the taste of pizza.I also bake my own granola in my oven and much more.Kay

Question: What does the product fit in?

Trying to get through baking with a single set of measuring spoons had become a pain in the neck. If I needed a teaspoon of something dry after measuring out a teaspoon of something liquid, I had to stop and dry the spoon before using. I decided I needed a second set of measuring spoons -- right up until these spoons arrived. Now I don't use my original set because these offer a "dry" and a "wet" spoon for each measurement. Furthermore, the dry spoons are superior to my old set because they are specifically designed to fit the mouth of a small jar, which my old round spoons often failed to accomplish.The magnetic attachment of the spoons is a nice touch, too, although I'm sometimes bemused to find one of the spoons stuck on another utensil.

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: How many stars were docked?

This is a very nice bamboo kitchen utensil set. The only complaint I have about the quality is that there is some roughness to the surface area of the utensils, and I almost gave myself a splinter when handling the cylinder, so I will dock it one star only, for lack of craftsmanship. But other than that, this is a very functional bamboo set.

Question: do towels stay on the hooks?

These are really good hooks, but not nearly as strong as the original suction hooks that came out years ago. That being said, the bathroom in our new house has nowhere to hang towels near the shower door since the entire enclosure is glass. We have four of these stuck directly to the shower glass and they hold wet towels easily and rarely fall off. You have to be sure to affirmatively engage the suction cup directly to the surface before you lock the hook down. I am pleased enough with these because it's hard to find a clear plastic suction hook that actually sticks and these have been better than any others I have found.

Question: What items can be stored in it?

I think I got this for a great price given the quality of the product. And the quality of this product is superb! I have stored my finer pieces of silverware in it along with other pieces received as wedding gifts in the drawer beneath. I found that this is the only way to keep silverware looking brand new as opposed to the silverware stored in the kitchen drawer and is used daily that shows some knicks here and there for obvious reasons.

Question: what does the authors closet have

My closet has a steel modular unit that has shelves. These shelves had an amazing way of collecting piles of clothes, hats and flip-flops. Well collect no more, little shelves, I bought these great little baskets. I was able to neatly fold clothes and then place into them into the baskets. They slide easily out so I can retrieve my items. I ordered 2 sets of 6, which was surprisingly shipped (with my Prime membership) in ONE day instead of the FREE 2 day....what a bonus!I have these baskets in other sizes and have had them for years. They are the only brand of basket that actually stands up to years of abuse and use.

Question: Can you use the vacuum on the steps?

I love my Dyson. It's easy to empty and does a great job on the dog hair. You can see when the canister gets full. The only thing I don't really like is the way the tool attachments work. There is a pull out tube is used with the attachments (there are all the standard extras). It's kind of difficult to extend the hose although you can completely remove the long metal tube and use it without that. It can be a little clunky on the steps but the ease on the rest of the floor more than makes up for it.

Question: What is the user happy that the pan does not have?

I received this pan for FREE is exchange for my honest review. I have owned this pan for 1 week. I first seasoned the pan with a small amount of oil like the instructions stated. I have cooked eggs, pancakes and pan-fried a small fillet of fish on this pan since then. Everything slides right off. After the pan cools I wash it with warm, soapy water then towel dry. I have had no issues with the pan and I think that if you follow the instructions it came with it will last a very long time. Because the pan is free of a lot of harmful chemicals I think it is a great buy.

Question: What was wrong with it?

Very pleased. I did a lot of research before buying a new juicer. I had been using a Juiceman Jr. It worked well and was durable, but it was sooooo loud. This is very quiet, small hum from the motor, and the actual sound of the vegetables being ground/squeezed. That's about it. Pulp comes out quite dry and is easy to feed through a second time if you want every last drop of juice out of it.Clean-up is much easier than I expected. I just fill a sink with warm soapy water while I'm juicing. When done, before drinking the juice, I disassemble the juicer (very easy to do), and place the parts into the water, letting them soak while I enjoy the juice. When done drinking, I rinse the parts under running water - usually that's all it takes. Occasionally the juice or pulp catcher will need a gentle rub with a cloth or scotch pad, usually not. The only part that takes any effort at all is the actual screen, but it is very small, so quite quick. I just use the scotch pad on it, inside and out, then rinse, takes about 30 seconds on a bad day.

Pulp comes out quite dry and is easy to feed through a second time if you want every last drop of juice out of it.Clean-up is much easier than I expected. I just fill a sink with warm soapy water while I'm juicing. When done, before drinking the juice, I disassemble the juicer (very easy to do), and place the parts into the water, letting them soak while I enjoy the juice. When done drinking, I rinse the parts under running water - usually that's all it takes. Occasionally the juice or pulp catcher will need a gentle rub with a cloth or scotch pad, usually not. The only part that takes any effort at all is the actual screen, but it is very small, so quite quick. I just use the scotch pad on it, inside and out, then rinse, takes about 30 seconds on a bad day.

It worked well and was durable, but it was sooooo <hl> loud <hl> .


Question: How does this product differ from regular tongs?

If you've used the longer cooking chopsticks before these have a similar feel. They're metal with a heavy silicon coating. Multi-functional and agile, not clumsy like regular larger tongs. I tend to hold these with a more chopstick-like grip when working with delicate items as it provides more control and precision, such as stuffed mushrooms. These are grill worthy but seem like they might have trouble with heavier items like large chicken breasts, though I have not done a test of this. I find myself using these often for things such as stir-frying, serving noodles, handling scallops, and even chicken nuggets. I recommend these to everyone looking for silicon tongs when precision is important, build and material quality are excellent.I will update when I have used these for heavier items.

Question: What did the zenith require?

If you are deciding between Zenith etagere brand or Elegant home etagere products , I suggest you should choose Elegant home. I bought one of each item intended for two different bathrooms and after buying both products, here is my list of observations that lead to the following opinion: The Zenith was not exactly like you are buying a ready to use etagere with minor assembly required. Its really like you received a "build it yourself project kit" with lots and lots of bitty pieces to assemble You can expect to spend many hours to build your own etagere cabinet. As I painfully turned the many tiny screws by hand into the wood to affix the hinges my wrist became sore Then the cheap porous chipboard wouldnt support the weight of the door and it crumbled into powder. The Elegant home was great. It was partially preassembled with hinges already attached and easy turn cam bolts which can disaasemble or reassemble without damage if you make a mistake You get what you pay for because the price isn't the same.

Question: Does the author recommend the item?

Normally I like Eureka products but this one SUCKS - and I don't mean that in a good way. As for suction - there isn't any. At least not enough to pick up anything more than a hair or a miniscule crumb. If that! What a waste of money. I'd have sent it back but the shipping fee & my time and trouble (not to mention gas to go to the post office) were not worth the effort. My kids love playing with it - they think they are vacuuming with the real thing, like Mommy. My advice - use your regular vac (even tho it may be a pain to drag out) or a mop.

Question: How did the author feel about a previous bacon cooker?

I had this bacon cooker in the past and was satisfied with it for the price. It's much more convenient than the ones on which you have to put each slice vertically in a slat. The fat does drip off adequately; and it is dishwasher friendly, if you wipe it with a paper towel first. As with all microwave bacon cookers, the fat does pop and splatter through the microwave, but you have to leave it uncovered for maximum crispness. It cooks and cleans well. After a while, it seems to lose its finish, turn brown, as if burned, and then does not clean as well or cook as evenly. I had the last one for 5 years and make bacon a couple of times a month, even if only a slice to crumble on a salad. It didn't get heavy use, but certainly I feel that I got my money's worth. The bacon cooks, crisps, browns and stays flat nicely. You can squeeze about 7-8 slices on it. I'd recommend it, and obviously would buy it again.

Question: How many stars does the reviewer rate the product?e

My favorite thing about these mitts is that they can get completely wet on the outside but still remain dry on the inside because of the silicone exterior and cloth-padded interior, providing both utility and comfort. My only criticism is that in the rare circumstance when I'm holding something VERY hot (e.g. a tray fresh from a stove on 400F+) for 15+seconds my hands will start to get hot. This is a situation I almost never run into, so, if I could, I'd give this product 4.5 stars.Recommended!

Question: How can you make it seem weightless?

Just saw a similar cart on QVC this morning for $33 including S&H and tax. The measurements were 13-1/2"W x 36"H x 12"D, not even as big as this one. This is bottomless. Holds everything including soda and packs of water and then the rest of your items... Just hold the handle behind you as you walk and it seems weightless. Goes up stairs. Folds into the trunk of the car without taking much space at all. I don't know how I ever did without this. An extremely small investment for a GREAT product that will become an absolute neccesity after the first time you use it..

Question: What did this one replace?

I replaced a much cheaper one that had lasted me five years, but that was sagging and nearly toppling over-- plus the zipper had broken. I love this one, even without the cover that I'm still waiting for. Very sturdy, and though less wide than my old one, actually a much better use of space: I have room under it, because of the wheels, to put shoes in, and because it is metal, the bottom shelf is usable which it wasn't on the old one (had been just cardboard). On one side, I have dresses, and on the other, blazers. Under the blazers, I have my laundry basket, and under my dresses, there's still room on the bottom shelf for other folded up clothes. The rack is sturdy enough that I could store things on the top if I wanted, as well, but I'm not doing so for aesthetics... I'll let you know how the cover works out.

Question: Melamine can cause irritation to what parts of the body?

I looked up Melamine and found this warning:"Melamine is described as being "Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Chronic exposure may cause cancer or reproductive damage. Eye, skin and respiratory irritant." However, the short-term lethal dose is on a par with common table salt with an LD50 of more than 3 grams per kilogram of bodyweight.[15] U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists explained that when melamine and cyanuric acid are absorbed into the bloodstream, they concentrate and interact in the urine-filled renal tubules, then crystallize and form large numbers of round, yellow crystals, which in turn block and damage the renal cells that line the tubes, causing the kidneys to malfunction.[16]"Why would anyone want to eat off this toxic crap or put it in their dishwasher?

Question: how does the writer describe the look of the ice cubes produced by the tray?

I've been using these trays for about 3 months so far and have not noticed any chemical odor on the tray or the ice cubes. The cubes do have to be pushed out of the tray one by one, and placing the filled trays into the freezer can be challenging if you don't put a small baking sheet or Tupperware lid under them.That being said, even though I have a ice maker with ice through the door, I still use these trays because the cubes look cooler, and more importantly, they last significantly longer than my ice makers "cubes" (more like wedges). If you're willing to spend some time getting them into the freezer and out of the trays then these are well worth what you pay.

Question: What type of drink is made with the cheesecloth?

I bought cheesecloth from two different vendors to see which I preferred. Both are identical and work well. I use it for draining the whey from yogurt, to be used for fermenting. I make kvass, sauerkraut, ginger drink, and pickles, fermenting with whey. It is so easy to do and is ready in a few days. The stuff is just like my father-in-law used to make in the old country, as least my husband says.I wash the cheesecloth in the sink with dish soap and rinse it well. The yogurt residue washes out easily. And then I hang it over the oven handle to dry. Use again and again.

Question: What were they looking forward to baking?

I'm an inveterate amateur baker, so I was thrilled to find these, and looking forward to making batches of nano-brownies and micro-spaniards. Unfortunately, while this mold may be suitable for cold-molding, I can't consider it suitable for baking.Upon opening the plastic package, I noted a sickly-sweet chemical smell. After washing the molds by hand, and then in the dishwasher, the smell was much stronger, to the point of being offensive (I used the sanitize cycle, which does heat stuff up).After airing out overnite, the smell had faded, so I decided to test to see if would transfer to food baked in the molds - I mixed egg whites with an equivalent amount of milk (an extremely scent-neutral mixture), and baked it in the molds at 350 for 20 minutes (I should have done that for only ten, to avoid any Maillard reaction). I also sprayed half the mold with cooking spray and left half ungreased, to see if this would make a difference.After baking, the smell (and taste) was very noticeable in the custards from the greased half of the mold, and slightly noticeable in the souffles from the ungreased half.I'm one of those people who is very sensitive to odors and odd chemistry, so YMMV. But I will not be using these in my kitchen.

Question: What retailer did the person get the product from?

Our old waffle maker is "top of the line" (read expensive) but never really worked very well, plus it was always a mess with spillover, etc. Got this one for xmas and it was damaged, but amazon return was super easy. Got the 2nd one and it works great. Hot, hot, hot - so watch your fingers! Waffles are quick and browning is adjustable so you can get the color you like. We like our waffles kind of crunchy - so sometimes we put them in the toaster oven for some extra crisping. No nasty smell like some reported, so that was nice too.

Question: What type of home does the customer live in?

This is a nice, heavy (yet pliant) vinyl shower curtain that should last a few years with a little care. We live in a double-wide mobile home, so we have a small tub enclosure, and the 72" length fits perfectly. I'm glad I ordered the frosty clear color, as it lets the light shine through without being transparent. It is heavy enough that it hangs well and doesn't fly into the tub while you're showering. When I first put up the the shower curtain there was a strong vinyl odor for two or three days, so if the odor concerns you, I recommend airing the curtain outside for a day or two before bringing it inside. I like this shower curtain and will buy another when it's time to replace this one.

Question: What did they install afterwards?

These shelves are about average for this type of shelves. They may be just a bit harder than some to get the top leg halves installed. End of review (for the review police). What worked for me was to install the two bottom shelves, including the boards, being careful to seat the side and end rail rivets securely in the slots using a 12" 2x4 or mallet. Then install the mid-point shelf brackets in the top hole for each leg and go ahead and add the board. Then you can slip the top leg half in by tilting the top end inwards and sliding onto the top rivet then straightening. Makes it much easier.

What worked for me was to install the two bottom shelves, including the boards, being careful to seat the side and end rail rivets securely in the slots using a 12" 2x4 or mallet. Then install the mid-point shelf brackets in the top hole for each leg and go ahead and add the board. Then you can slip the <hl> top leg half <hl> in by tilting the top end inwards and sliding onto the top rivet then straightening. Makes it much easier.


Question: What brand makes this iron?

I actually like to iron and own the Rowenta Professional iron. I have used it a half dozen times and it is useless. The iron doesn't heat - not even on the cotton linen setting.As per Rowenta, inorder to have it serviced I would pack it up and send it to a service center, and pay for shipping and repair which is more than the cost of a replacement iron.It is not under warrantee as it was in storage - unused - and was purchased last summer, so it is over a year old.I have had irons last many years and they keep steaming along. This one is a disappointment.

Question: What is essential when buying things in bulk at health food stores?

This is one of those essentials items I use often. I've tried to list all the things I use it for here--a lot more than you'd think. Of course I use it to fill my Ball jars even though I am more likely freezing the contents than canning them. The good thing about this gadget is that it not only keeps the rim clean for sealing but when the contents reach the bottom of the funnel when placed in my wide mouth jars, I know to stop filling so I have room for expansion when freezing something.I also keep another one of these in my birdfeed container because one of my feeders is a narrow tube that used to take very careful filling and still I spilled much seed. With this funnel the filling is fast and easy.In the kitchen, I put lots of things in Ball jars for storage like rice, grits, rolled oats, powdered sugar, baking soda, popcorn, chocolate bits, seeds and nuts. They stay fresh and secure this way. Filling the jars is easy and efficient with this funnel. No spillage. I make my own salad dressing and mayonnaise and put those in the half pint jars, and use both the pint and quart jars for other things. I may squeeze a dozen grapefruits using the attachment on my food processor or use a juicer attachment for grape juice. The food processor bowl doesn't have a pour spout so transferring the juice to a jar requires help from this funnel. Even pouring sugar into a measuring cup can be messy business if a lump gets in the way, so I put the funnel in the mouth of the cup first.One thing the funnel is absolutely essential for is when I buy things in bulk at the health food store. Getting whatever from those flimsy plastic bags into a jar is a real challenge.I keep one of these funnels in the garage for filling the gas tank on my tractor and my leaf vacuum. Holding those big heavy containers just right to get the nozzle in the tank often alludes me. The funnel helps me get started without spillage. Another thing I use the funnel for is getting the dirt in small pots for starting seeds early in the spring. I do that inside and really don't want the soil spilled around.All in all I've found so many uses for this funnel, I've ended up with several. It's a very useful tool.

Question: What's on the second shelf?

First of all, this thing is freakin' awesome. My wife put it together while I did some work, she assembled all the glass shelves in to the frame. We hung it up with 6 BIG 4" wall toggle bolts. On the top shelf I house an external WD Hdd, a WDTV Live and a Actiontec HDMI WiFi Transmitter. On the second shelf I have my Dish Network 722 (fits perfectly even with all the wires coming out the back). On the bottom shelf I have an old Ken wood Stereo Receive (fits, but the front legs come off just a bit but this doesn't affect stability. The receiver measures 17"w x 14"d x 5"h.The wire maintenance was a little trick. We used a wire coat hanger and some masking tape to thread the bulky wires through the back.This unit installed is an amazing addition to your small living space, I highly recommend it!

Question: What setting had not been tried out yet?

New off-white carpeting and a sick cat do not make good combos. Tired of hand scrubbing the carpet w/mixed results we opted to try the SpotBot. We are *thrilled* with it.Solidly made product. Easy to set-up. Simple to use. Fortunately have not had to use the deep stain setting - but the 3 minute cycle setting cleaned up all the messes in said time. The set it and forget it way is great when you have other things to do and the beeping upon completion won't allow really forget it.There is also the more manual process w/a hose for stains that don't fit into the circumference of the auto-brushes. That worked well too.Why only 4 stars? I don't have longevity w/the product - and hopefully it won't be used daily, but so far so good.

Question: What brand can do I have for another location?

I bought this can because of the shape and it is a step can. I did not want one of those touch-less kind that seem to quit working quickly and use batteries. I have this same brand in stainless for another location, for the few years. It still looks and works like new. I needed a can that would fit into a narrow space, and it did not have to match my kitchen. This does that, as well as being made well. The very top of the bag does show on the outside when it is closed, but I don't have any problem with that. This does give a benefit. It makes the bag replacement fast and easy. Because the can has a lip at the top that holds the bag securely without having to use any special retaining devises. Or like my other can; having to remove the inside can and specially secure the bag though a hole. This one just uses that top lip to hold the bag and it is easy and fast. I like it's rear wheels, which make it easy to pull in and out of my little place it have for it to sit. The maker has designed this one to do the job without having to deal with a lot of other stuff.

Question: Whose coffee machine did the reviewer try before buying this one?

I bought the Dolce Gusto Piccolo after using my sister's when staying at her house. I already had a Keurig so it is difficult not to compare the two. I do infact like them both.Here are my key points:1) Purchased the Piccolo model due to price. I wanted to stay as far under $100 as possible to get a Dolce Gusto.2) Now that I've used it, I probably would rather have the Genio model because it is a less-manual process.3) You have to fill the water container each time you use it. It doesn't store water the way my Keurig does.4) Really like the frothy, coffee-house textured drinks. My Keurig does not do this.5) The Dolce Gusto website offers a reward program too. Each box of capsules contains a code in the box. Enter the codes online and store your points until you have enough for free product. That's great!

Question: How long did the recipe take?

Ten stars would not be enough praise for this cooking pot. I have had a lot of cookware. Expensive no stick that was absolutely useless. This is amazing. I wasn't sure about seasoning this pan but I asked here on Amazon and Pam said she just sprayed with a little Pam. She was right. I seared a pot roast, removed it ,deglazed with wine,softened some onions and garlic put it back in with some mushroom soup and put the lid on. The recipe was for 3 and a half hours. The roast (lid on) took a little over 2 hours and was fork tender. Cleaning was as simple as a sponge with a little Dawn. Wow. I've never had a pot that cleans this easily and cooks this fast. I will get the 5 1/2 qt next month and I'm looking at the saucier pan. I love the colors. This will never go in the dishwasher. I will always hand wash this which is not my usual move.(nails and all). It's a cooking pot of a lifetime and a gift of quality.

Question: What product are they reviewing?

This rice cooker is a gem. I keep it on my counter because you can make just about anything in it. I use bulgar wheat instead of rice and it makes it just right. It also steams veggies like a pro. I have made soup in it that rivals any restaurant and also a cake. I have used all the settings except for the sushi button as I am not a sushi lover. This is so much more than a rice cooker and steamer. A regular "kitchen" all in one. Would not be without it and if it ever breaks down I will buy another one to replace it.

Question: what website did they use trying to figure out how to make their spices look nice?

These were just what I needed!I have a TOUCH of OCD, and ever since Pinterest came into my life I have been trying to figure out how to make my spices look less trashy. This was it! They are the perfect size to hold a small bottle of spices, and they look magnificent!I have half of my spices in a rack on my fridge, and the other half in a drawer (this drawer is NOT large, I live in an apartment where they didn't think to leave a drawer for silverware, if that tells you anything.) These have been amazing!I bought spice labels to go on the jars and they look so classy!Buying these was a perfect decision for me, and I will most likely be buying more in the future as I keep learning more and more recipes!

Question: What is the maximum amount of time that this coffee maker keep the coffee hot?

I did a lot of research before buying (we just had an expensive DiLonghi coffee maker die after only 14-15 months and they wouldn't stand behind it)In addition to the features, pricing and the fact that it's stainless, our main decision point for this one was the 3 year warranty. Can't beat it.We've been using it for about a month and we could not be happier!It's very simple to program and to operate. It makes really good coffee that's hot and stays hot -- the warmer plate is adjustable for temp, and there is a timer to keep the coffee hot up to 4 hours. Good capacity - 14 cups and also has a setting for a small brew; it's easy to fill and the pot does not drip (hooray!)Looks and feels like quality -- it has a sort of "retro" look that I like and looks great with all my stainless appliances. In short, buy this one and you won't be disappointed.
