Question: The person that was hired said that it would have been impossible for someone to put it together who couldn't what?

I really like the look of the cart so it was what I ordered, regardless of the previous reviews stating it was difficult to assemble. They were right, it was difficult especially when there were parts missing and the holes did not line up. The person I hired to put it together said and it would have been impossible for a person who couldn't have thought outside the box. He got it together, but it took a lot of work, two trips to the store, and it required a drill. This was not in the instructions. But once it was done...I really like it!!

Question: What is the size of the dial?

The dial is very large which I like so it can be read easily. The housing seem to be made of good quality materials. I like the fact that I don't have to look up cooking time because it's on the face of the dial.

Question: How hot does the temperature have to be before the Reviewer feels discomfort?

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: It is safe to put the peeler in where?

I'm tired of using cheap, plastic peelers. So I got this peeler. A strong stainless steel peeler to last. And dishwasher safe too! I'm a big fan of my new dishwasher, so I'm looking to upgrade everything to be dishwasher compatible. Stainless steel does better than plastic. IN terms of peeling, this peeler actually can slice very thin. It's an easy way to peel skins, or even make potato chips. It's easy to use, and comes in a pair so you can keep one clean at all time, or give one to a friend.Overall, this is an easy to use peeler on fruits, and vegetables and strong and should last for a long time.

Question: What makes your k cup better than all the rest?

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

Question: Is the sticker hard to get off this item?

Heavy gauge, bright and shiny. ;) I use these sheets all the time. I wrap ribs in foil, cook for 3 hours at 250-degrees on them. Brown potatoes on them in a 500-degree oven. Grill veggies on them. And I'm forever buying new sheets. They just won't hold up. I have absolutely no doubt this one will. It's heavier than what you normally find. And being aluminum? They're going to be much easier to clean than what I've bought in the past. Should have bought these a long time ago.You won't be disappointed.Oh! I forgot. Some people commented on the sticker being hard to get off. ??? I don't know, maybe they changed it. But I washed the pan, used a Scotchbrite on it, and it came right off. No problem.

Question: Can the machine handle be fixed?

I have a very mixed review of this cleaner. It cleans beautifully-I have no complaints in that area. My complaint is with how the cleaner is designed and manufactured. The handle to the dirty water tank immediately began to give me problems. The second use of the machine, the handle fell off. It is not fixable as the cheap plastic broke off. The design of the thing is very strange-I haven't a clue why they did it that way. Also, the caddie that holds the tools I find to be very inconvieniant. It doesn't hold the hose very well and is mostly in the way. The only reason I rated the machine 3 was the cleaning ability. I am pleased (so far) with how well it cleans.

Question: What kind of seal does the stick have?

We've been using this product all Summer, with great results. Our 'normal' stick (an East Coast stick, as I understand that they are different on the West Coast) fits in fine - you do need to 'load' it from the bottom (remove the plunger, then insert), but that's not hard at all. Curved to 'fit' the ear of corn. And, we've had no issues with the top falling off. I do suppose it's true that it's not an airtight seal, but we've gone through its' capacity (1/2 stick) in no more than 2 meals, so it's not really an issue for us. It's also top-rack dishwasher safe, so clean-up is a breeze.

Question: What size is it rated for?

I received this just prior to Thanksgiving this year so it was put into immediate use as I carried a home=made pumpkin pie to my neighbor's place on the mountain.I've used it to carry 10 inch diameter pies without any problems, so don't be put off by the "9 inch pie plate" specification. It does come with a 9 inch plate, but my 10 inch plates fit in perfectly.What a relief to not have to worry about the pie sliding off the car seat as I make my way up and down this twisting, turning, pot holed dirt road!

Question: How many speeds does it have?

We don't wear shoes in our house so our carpets don't get extremely dirty; it's more about cleaning dust, pollen and general grime. This machine is perfect for that.

Question: What part of the product is abrasive?

Though it is suitable for use as a throw, or to sit upon at an outdoor event, this is not a very absorbent towel. One is not likely to get dry very quickly, unless intense sunlight is the primary source. I have found it useful to place on upholstered chairs during hot weather, and, since it is light, it is easy to carry if one is planning to sit on the grass for an outdoor concert or picnic. It has little absorbency, and, even after washing, a rather irritating surface. I do not recommend it as a bath towel, though it could be a pretty sarong if one is using it after swimming.

Question: Which method of cooking leads to problems?

My complaint is they get so hot when in use on the stovetop, and the handles are so low, they are difficult to grasp with a pot holder, which is necessary to use to lift them. So I have confined mine to use in the microwave where they work perfectly. Maybe that is what they are for to begin with and I didn't read the description correctly, but they are not a good buy for the stove top, and that is what I needed. I have since ordered a metal universal lid for that use. But you use your microwave as much as I do mine, you will enjoy having a lid for any size you will ever need

Question: What liquors are best served in this item?

This glass is perfectly designed to bring out all of the best of a great whiskey, scotch, or bourbon. I find it also useful for high quality spirits you wish to drink neet. The bowl is shaped to help designate about one ounce of spirit (while permitting enough area to assist in the opening of the bouquet of the spirit). The narrow mouth concentrates the aromas for you full enjoyment (especially if you have pre-chilled the spirit you are drinking). The shape of the stem and bowl are wonderful to assist in the warming by your hands and the swirl of the spirit to bring out the brands best qualities on your palette.

Question: Does the fan make noise?

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

I am a big fan of this one. (yuck, yuck) Actually, the fan works very well. It's speeds are noticably different depending on your need and the thermostat settings really work.

Question: What was on the bottom of the colander?

This is just your basic, cheap, hecho in China colander. I would have given it a score of three, but felt that the presence of little metal slivers on the handle weld spots deserved a lower score! I removed the slivers with a pair of needle nose pliers, and they came off easily enough. Also, there is a label attached to the bottom with a glue that doesn't come off with normal washing. In fact, I haven't been able to remove the glue residue and suspect that it's going to be there a long, long time.

Question: at what age did the author watch her mother and grandmothers use cast iron skillets

This is my favorite baking pan! It's great and not just for pizza. I use it for almost everything. I grew up watching my mother and grandmothers use cast iron skillets so I decided to give this a try and I loved it so much that I just bought a second one.

Question: What will happen if you put too much batter in?

To be as happy as I am with this waffle maker you need to:1. Reduce the amount of batter from the suggested 2 cups to 1.5 cups or you'll overflow2. If you do overflow do not try to clean it right away - you'll make a battery mess. Wait for it to harden - the maker will be hot so this will not take long. The mess will then flake right off.3. Do not expect the timer to tick off evenly - it will tick off the first couple lights slowly and then the rest comparatively quickly. You have to keep an eye on it.Having said all of that, I love this waffle maker. I do not consider it a true Belgian style waffle but it is deeper than a traditional waffle - for my preferences this is perfect. Clean-up and storage is very easy if you wait to clean it up until after it cools and any spilt batter has gotten crusty. Now if I could only find the perfect batter.....

Question: According to the reviewer did the product they receive look like the one pictured?

So, I just paid almost 25 dollars for some rough chunks of glass. They look nothing like what is pictured, nothing. One is significantly smaller than the other two, with a rough jagged spot. The product pictured looks like smooth stones. The things I got, two at least, just look like flat plugs. And the third looks like a cast off from a glass blowing place. Who knows. Terrible. I wouldn't normally leave such a bad review, but these were ridiculous.

Question: WHy does the reviewer want to leave 4 stars instead of 5?

I checked consumer reports for well-rated insulated travel tumblers because I was tired of sipping on luke warm to cold coffee when driving. This one was the right size at the right price. I was happily surprised to find my coffee still hot after 4 hours. As a bonus, when I purchase coffee and have it filled in my tumbler rather than the store provided styrofoam or paper cup, I only get charged for the coffee. It's reusable which means no coffee cups and tops for the trash heap at the end of the day. I'm giving it four rather than five stars because there has got to be a flaw with the design. I just haven't found it yet.

Question: What show are they talking about?

Have you ever seen that Seinfeld where Jerry's car is attacked by BO that doesn't go away, and lingers on anything that crosses its path? This has the same disease. Plus, it was clearly a used item - the packaging was repacked and the foot warmer was dirty. Gross, but it's a foot warmer so I thought I'd give it a chance regardless. In its defense, it *does* work - my terminally cold wife liked the warm footsy feel; unfortunately she has a sense of smell. The room we had it in is still stinky! Get this thing outta our house!!! :)

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

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

Question: What material is this product made from?

i have to say that I am not in love with these spice grinders. I have flax seed in one and course salt in the other. In order for me to get salt out of the ceramic grinder, it takes a tremendous amount of strength to turn the top. its very slippery and almost impossible to turn. the surfaces are very smooth so my hand just slides around the jar. what really is disappointing is the fact that the salt falls out in one very small area.....so i get a big sprinkling of a large amount of salt on just a small portion of the plate. no matter how fast i move the grinder, it still ends up in one small pile, which is way to much salt.it takes FOREVER to grind flaxseed in these! i will return these....and stick with the old fashion cheapie wooden pepper mill.

Question: How much can you chop at one time?

I got this because, being a Southern cook, I put chopped onions, peppers and celery in nearly everything. I thought this could save me some time, but it really doesn't at all.You can only chop such very small amounts (has to fit in the plastic bottom part) and it can't get though pepper and onion skin. They just get caught up in the blades and make a mess.By the time I have chopped a single onion, my hand and forearm are numb from banging on it.I gave it 2 stars, because it is good for mincing garlic and chopping dried fruit and nuts. They have the right density and moisture content for this kind of chopping I guess.

Question: When will I throw them out?

Purchased these to use as cleaning cloths. When they get real dirty or stained, I'll throw them out. They're good for someone who uses a clean washcloth everyday. I would't use them a my main or guest wash cloths. They are soft.

Question: How is the reheating of the 24oz mug?

I loved the 20 oz. mug so much, I decided to try this 24 oz. small vented casserole. I can't say enough good things about it! It is wonderful for heating/storing a main dish or veggies for two. Don't let the photo fool you. I stored two half chicken breasts with sauce easily. Reheating will not only be simply, the small size prevents the food from becoming over-done and dry. Leftovers travel easily (and spillproof) to work and then the dish goes into the dishwasher... What is not to love??? Best of all, I can bring it to the table and the simple clean lines are perfectly with my Portmeirion pattern. I plan to order a second to use instead of the disposable plastic ware. What a useful product at a very practical size and a great price!

Question: What does the item more resemble?

This item arrived labeled as a "mixing spoon", and has little to no depth. The spoon part is actually closer to a spatula. I wish I had known this when I ordered it-- it appears the current description is lacking some info. The product serves its purpose for heat resistence and helping to protect the non-stick surface when cooking (so far), but it really doesn't hold anything. Please keep this in mind when purchasing. I don't know how the stainless steel handle will hold up over time (the description shows 18/10, but the actual product doesn't say). Unfortunately, I already used it, so I won't try to return. Let's just say it's good to have a different colored utensil at times, but I won't be purchasing any more of these.

Question: How long is the can crusher?

At 20 inches long and 6 wide it's rather unsightly in my kitchen. The can crusher works like a charm though, doesn't quite squish the cans as flat as the old stomp method but it does reduce them at least by half. It won't take anything larger than a standard 12 oz can.A wall stud is a must for installation as it really does pull to smash the can. I'm sure if the unit were smaller it would need a lot more force to use so I won't gripe about the size of it as it is easy to use.I think I'll be painting it white so it'll blend into my kitchen wall a little better instead of this huge black thing on my wall w/ it's additonal very large black (I opted not to use the American flag decal) collection bin that really is a must have addition.It's going to be a welcome addition to our household and will sure cut my trips to the recyling center down.

Question: what is the best part in the product?

I have not owned a juicer in quite a few years. So it was quite a treat to try out this one.While it is plastic and lightweight, it appears to be quite durable. It juiced anything I "threw" at it, though as someone mentioned it occasionally gets to the point where the pulp builds up in the strainer, and it has to be cleaned out, especially with larger citrus. That's PROBABLY typical ... I remember my old one doing the same thing.Best part of this one is that the container doubles as a pitcher.Overall I like it very much.

Question: How many stars did they give the product?

I bought this because of the price. It was one of the cheapest ones available on amazon. It feels like a very durable plastic and it's built well. I don't know if its BPA-free. I really wish it is, but in the packaging it doesn't say it.There is a little dip in the middle where it meets the handle, so if I am microwaving a food that is slightly tall in the middle, it would definitely touch. I give it 3 stars because it works really well, gets the job done, and price is good, but noticed a couple of splatters when I was microwaving tomato-based sauces. Also this thing condenses like crazy, water would be dripping from the sides. It gets the job done, for basic microwaving tasks. But I wouldn't buy it again.

Question: What type of product is the person reviewing?

One of the better things about getting things from Vine is when manufacturers improve a flawed product and need reviews of the perfected version. Such is the case here with these thoughtfully designed measuring cups.As it happens, I had the older version of this cup in my kitchen cabinet (see photo), and while I didn't have quite the strong negative reaction those early reviewers had, the deficiencies of having a handle a 3 year old could curl out of shape were pretty obvious. Other improvements are a move from a cylindrical shape to one better aimed at digging, and a unibody design in favor of a separate handle spot welded to the cup.In general, a nice set of cups and a good improvement.

Question: What brand of product is this?

I am super impressed with this vacuum, here's why:* Extremely QUIET! Amazingly quiet.* It picks up dirt, dust, debris with gusto. In a room that already looked fairly well vacuumed, the amount this Bissell picked up was crazy!* Okay, I like that I can see all the dirt it picks up in the filter. It makes me feel accomplished!* The tools attached to the body make it easy to grab and use them.* Fantastic price!A very few buggers:* The switch is down real low on the unit so you have to bend down to flip it off and on. A switch on the handle would have been more convenient.Well, actually, that's the only thing I don't love about it.

Question: Why the item is difficult to remove without burning?

This steamer does a fine job of steaming vegetables and it sounds simple to use. Unfold, insert steaming tray, add vegetables. Add 3 tablespoons of water, open vent and microwave 3 minutes. That's it! Veggies come out crispy!Sounds good, right? Well is would be if it was that easy. The veggies DO come out perfect, although you may have to adjust the time depending on the power of your microwave and your desired level of doneness. For me, 3 minutes was perfect for a 900W oven. Less time is needed for a 1400W oven. The problem is that the container is VERY hot after steaming. Also, the cover is the same diameter as the bowl, making it very difficult to remove without burning yourself. The cover has a small tab protruding but it is not enough to grip when the bowl is steaming hot so you must grip the bowl and cover very tightly to open, which is near impossible when it is steaming hot.If the cover and the bowl were redesigned to make removal easier, I could give this 5 stars. But as it is, I can only rate it a 3. It works great for steaming but it is really difficult to open when hot without burning yourself.

Question: Who rated the gel foam mattress highly?

We just purchased a new gel foam mattress which was highly rated by Consumer Reports through Costco. It was shipped to us so we didn't have a chance to try it out before we bought it. It is like sleeping on granite. Long story but it was just too much hastle to return. A friend suggested a memory foam topper to see if it would make a difference.After much research and reading the reviews here on Amazon we purchased this one. I'll make this short and simple. It arrived well packaged and fully opened instantly. No odor at all and sleeps cool. Most importantly these three little inches turned our granite mattress into a comfy cozy yet supportive bed. Perfectly fits our California King mattress. At last I'm getting the sleep that I have been craving. Fantistic purchase especially considering the very reasonable price.

Question: Which part of the product rattles?

Bought this one after our 15bar died (see a previous review on how long that friend lasted...9 years). My husband decided on this one and it works great. LOTS of creama from each espresso shot. Not sure why another reviewer is having problems, but we aren't at all(maybe they should use good quality espresso). We use Lavazza espresso and warm the unit up for about 10 minutes before doing the shots. We did buy a few 4oz shot glasses to do double shots, that way you can get all the creama in one cup. Some people complain that the "ready" light doesn't stay on long, that's true but I just keep it going for the rest of the double shot and it's still hot and produces excellent espresso.Haven't used the steamer. But we didn't use it on the other one. I prefer to just heat my milk up and use it that way.Pros: Great espresso, nice looking, economicalCons: Does make a little rattling noise (water tank) but that's easily quieted. (push it up against the wall and the noise is considerably less).

Question: What rating would I have given if the cutting board didn't warp?

I read the previous review about warping and bought the tray anyways. When I received the cutting board, it was perfectly level. I've had this for 5 months. After about two months of daily use, the crumb tray started to warp a little (not the slatted cutting board). I am very careful. I do not soak the pieces in water. I only rinse and towel-dry to clean the pieces because they are only used for bread (and this only happens sporadically because I usually just dump the crumbs). I stopped making bread for the last 2 months and tucked the board away in a cupboard. When I pulled the board out several days ago, the warping is even much more obvious. The corner is now raised about 1/2 inch from the counter. But, other than the warping of the tray, I would have given a 5-star rating. The size is great. It can hold two loaves of bread (about 7 inch in diameter, each), or one good sized loaf. The cutting board works fantastic as a cooling rack for hot bread. The tray catches the crumbs and leaves the kitchen counter so much cleaner than if you were to use a regular cutting board. There is also enough space between the edge of the cutting board and the crumb tray where I can store my bread knife a little more securely (rather than leaving the knife to lay on the counter or on the board), and keep the knife close for another quick slice of yummy bread!

Question: About how long does this item take to heat up?

I choose this fryer due to it's ease-of-cleaning and it certainly was easy as parts are easily disassembled and re-assembled.The heating for me took approximately 15 minutes as advertised - sometimes quicker and sometimes a bit longer. The temps options are selectable between 300, 325, 350, to 375 max. The basket is easy to handle and clean. The timer was easy to set and very helpful when kitchen gets busy.My only complaint is the cap doesn't have an option to fully cover the oil. While the ventilation is key for steam/smoke to release if I desire to cover the frying, the issue is the times when it is not used and oil sits in there. The oder from used oil does get around the kitchen and may annoy family members sensitive to it.

Question: What did they buy?

Gosh, I really like the OXO Good Grips Over the Door Stainless Steel Rack...but, our doors won't close. When we hang this on our doors, there's not enough space at the top to close the door. I even applied gentle pressure on the door trying to close it, but it didn't work. Our home was built in the late 50's. This over door rack doesn't work in our daughter's home either. Her home was built in the early 70's. If I use this rack, I will need to leave the door open.This over door rack can be used in a variety of ways. You could hang your purses, camera bags, umbrellas, towels, jackets, jeans, etc. on it. I even use hangers on some of the hooks. Of course the hangers will overlap each other & depending on which hook you use, a hanger can prevent the door from closing.The rack measures 18" long & the hooks hang about 7 1/2" from the top of the door. Silicone surfaces protect the door from scratches, & it is designed with spring arms which flex to fit doors securely & adjust to fit a variety of doors. The stainless steel rack is rustproof & durable.Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Question: How long did they let the product sit for?

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: Does it make any noise?

Every time I used the full size oven in my small apartment, I had to turn on the air conditioner to offset the heat output. Since I bought the Breville, I use the traditional oven as extra storage for pots and pans. The Breville heats quickly, bakes/broils/toasts quicker and more predictably than the big oven, and it doesn't turn my apartment into a sauna. I've used it to bake pies, cookies, bread, and casseroles; broil fish and bake chicken; toast pecans, bread, bagels, and open-faced sandwiches. I love heated plates and the top surface doubles as a plate warmer. The crumb tray isn't the afterthought that it is on most toaster ovens - it's convenient and easy to clean after every use. I stacked the Breville on top of my microwave so it doesn't even take up any additional counter space. Looks good, works great.Update 11/10/13: After 10 months, I still love the performance and functionality of the oven, BUT the convection fan has become quite noisy as other users have reported. I've dropped my review rating of the product and notified Breville of the fan issue. I'll see what response they have.

Question: How hard is installation?

Works great!We have this heater mounted to the wall in a really drafty and cold bathroom. (Maybe 60 sqft) It works really well to keep the chill out of the room, especially with the door closed. The wall gets warm but not too warm, I can touch the panel but I wouldn't keep my hand there too long. The heater panel is paintable so it will fit your decor if you spend the time painting it.The installation was a snap and included everything needed (except the power drill).I am not sure how well this heater would work in larger room but I really like that it is not driven by a fan and is quiet as can be.

Question: What was needed to remove the sticker?

I have 3, 17-20 year old children, so they are harder on things because they are bigger and these glasses are the ticket. We did a kitchen remod and new glasses were in order. I searched all over Amazon and other places to find a tough glass and I like the reviews. These are very simple stylish tough glasses.. I hope they stand the test of time but that will be seen. They are thick and solid.The only beef I had wasn't really with the glass but the sticker that is put on the bottom of the glass, whew, they took a razor and goo be gone to get rid of the sticker and the glue residue.
