If you are going to want a perfect cooked meal you need to have the proper tools .
I bought this in the hope that it would hold a queen size comforter, 2 standard shams, 2 euro shams and 2 decorative pillows - that's all I wanted it to hold.
In my area, such drinks are around 2.99 to 3.99 each , so you can see the value of this unit- quite quickly!As others have mentioned, dont overload it with ice, and make SURE you have liquid in it.
Now that I've owned it for almost 3 years, I can confirm that it's extremely durable and totally accurate .
well it boils water so fast that it only takes like two minutes for water hot enough for green tea.
After using this one, I realized how extremely dull my old one was.
I've used it for cookies , biscuits, sticky marinated meats, and everything has cooked perfectly, come off easy, and clean up was a snap!
The blade image is a bit misrepresented, it's carbon steel - so it will get dark.
The 40 -minute runtime is accurate.
I was apprehensive as I have an older Dyson DC10
You can put 6 pot lids in here.
Bought this last fall .
I've owned and used an Exo Super Peel since 2006 .
You just pour hot water over the tea bags, then let it chill down in the fridge.I never thought of getting a dedicated pitcher for my cold tea, but then this pitcher came along.
It's been a long time since I had a good pair of Kitchen shears and when these were offered, I jumped on them.
I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars .Make sure you read the instructions carefully.
and i haven't had any problem with food sticking .
Yes, they do snap closed and require you to push the button to open them - but more than once we've had the bottles pop open in my kids' lunchboxes and leak all over (the drink drips/pours out the straw).
I heat it up .
Not a whole bunch, but a tomato or potato soup might still get through the holes.
In fact, both Amazon and Thermos advertise the cup as being "spill-proof."
My RO is BareWater system.
At 20 inches long and 6 wide it's rather unsightly in my kitchen.
Though if you plan to stain, not paint you'll need to give the top a little sanding with 220 grit before applying poly coat.
This tea kettle is heavy for its size so I assume it is not too thin.
I make kvass, sauerkraut, ginger drink, and pickles, fermenting with whey.
I keep the house at a steamy 72 degrees and Mom likes it to be very much warmer .
I've had it for about 2 weeks .
I like its features of moving side to side and up and down .
I have the Damask Dark Gray Heather Pinzon Plush Throw, 50 X 70 inches .
The edges of the mattrees are hard and a pain to sit on .
so I followed someones advice on this site and used bon ami .
However, even following the suggested fill line of this kettle, the water would boil over , it wouldn't whistle, and it just made a mess.
Bottom line: the coffee tastes great , the machine operates easily, and for those who need that first cup ready when stumbling into the morning kitchen, a real winner.
I'd gladly pay more to have it last longer. The first one the wooden handle broke off from too much heat exposure and the the metal was rusted and burned.
I have a small, narrow knife holder that holds any size knives, and all I have in it now are these three knives.
As others have said, the instructions are worthless.
Simple, durable, inexpensive and the best damn coffee you can brew with a very simple set up and easy clean up.
it's silicone it will have a little slimy feel unless you soak it in a detergent, but you dont have to.
They do not have valves or little pieces to wash and disinfect which is great for me.
I will definately continue utilizing this pan, and if you do, you will like it as much as I do.. just used water after the rolls baked, no soap..
It's very quiet, has a low and high setting and a temperature dial so you can adjust it to the right temperature.
To be as happy as I am with this waffle maker you need to:1.
The cord is really short , so I have to unplug it and re-plug it in 3 times in order to do the whole kitchen, but that's really my only complaint.
It delivers on its promise of clean water .
It is very slow heating - takes four minutes for a cup of coffee.
First let me tell you I don't know anything about vacumn bags .
the freon that is sealed into the one piece die cast aluminum is warmed by your hand which warms the freon inside (you can hear it when you shake the scoop) and the freon gently warms the cup of the scoop allowing for easy release of the ice cream.
Great price for this many hangers.
Since gluten free bread tends to continue to shrink after baking , my idea was that the "bowling ball" shape of these loaves would shrink equally in all directions, and still look attractive -- and that is proving out in practice pretty well, with only the bottom flat of the loaves buckling in slightly.
I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth .
They fit my 1.5 quart, my 2.5 quart, and my 6 quart slow cooker.
Unfortunately, the slots are a little too thin to accept the tines .
This faithful little egg cooker works great.
The handles on the pots keep coming loose and have to be tightened every couple of uses.
Pretty crummy quality overall, especially for $65 bucks for an aquarium pump and a timer.
I was lucky and had wood studs in just the right place so I didn't use the included hardware, but I put the anchors into my tool box for later use.
The non-stick surface is far superior to those found on most other brands of cookware.
Oh well, at least I know for sure, instead of having to trust a jeweler to tell me the truth about it.
The little circle ball you see is a storage area for the one whisk your not using, it's a very cute design touch.
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).
When a young friend of our family 's got married recently, I wanted to give her something that she would use a lot and for a long time so when I learned she needed a set of cookware, I researched and decided on this set.
Luckily a charge lasts a week if you use it for a minute at a time.
I like the feel of the handle grip and the see through lid .
I had a single bag wooden rolling laundry cart which I absolutely adored.
I wish the packages of shelf pegs had more pegs in them; but that's four things....
The blades are unevenly spaced and non-adjustable .
In hindsight, I'd choose to go with a larger model because you have to downsize most recipes to use it or you have more than will fit in the pot.
It seems to me that it would be much safer if the mixer automatically reset itself to OFF when it's unplugged.
I am disappointed on the quality though .
It also fits in nicely with the design of many kitchens and appliances on the market today ( stainless steel , or black/white appliances.
I have this thermometer in black and it's been great.
I purchased this ice cream maker in 2007 (winter) for $39.99 but did not use it until summer of 2008.
My (women's) razors did NOT fit well in the smaller pockets up top and tend to fall out.
Either way, these little sleeves will bring good beer to drinkable temperature in about ten minutes if it's in the bottle, five in a can.
I've cooked steaks and chicken on the grill and pancakes, bacon and eggs on the griddle and haven't had a problem with anything sticking .
I've only had it for a couple days , but I'm sure I've used it at least 10 times since then (I drink a lot of tea, and need hot water for other reasons).It heats water fast, shuts off timely after boil, stays hot.
I love this timer so much that now I've bought four of them and I have them in different places all over my classroom .
This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically .The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week.
Clean up is a breeze and little if any product is left behind on this mat.
Having tried a trashcan with an automatic lid before, I much prefer the 'step-to'open' style.
It is heavy , so may be a little clumsier to pour than lighter ones.
If I had to do it over, I would just buy the rack, then order 18 bottles separately (Penzey's sells ones with sturdier plastic lids for less than a buck each) and I'd put this spice rack together myself for ~the same price .
It's now been almost 15 years that I purchased my first two (a 2 and a 3 litre that I store sugar and flour in) and I was looking for slightly smaller decorative jars to store some coffee and powdered cocoa in.
I ended up looping the flap over the bar and pinning it with a safety pin to the bottom of the organizer. Works really well to hold books, book light, tissues and other small items for my older two, who are top bunk dwellers.
It doesn't stay together and will literately crumble if there's any weight on it , and sometimes even if it's moved.
Alas, that very same handy size only holds 16 ounces - not enough to share a hot drink with a crowd.
I used a Reynolds Oven Cooking Bag which I have used before in my oven but found that in a small roaster where the bag touches the sides it burned through the bag in several places and left burned plastic residue on the sides of the roaster that was very difficult to scrub off.
The instructions are a bit misleading about the KCup process, but you'll figure it out.
The surface is large enough to place a mixing bowl on top and weight inside contents.
I love the automatic shut off as I tend to be absent minded first thing in the morning.
I bought a pair of these silicone oven mitts to replace an old, warn out pair of fabric ones.
This Zojirushi is becoming my favorite !
I absolutely adored the Bodum Bistro Large Electric Water Kettle !
There was a fairly large hole in the side of the thin cardboard box, but at first look it didn't seem to be an issue.
At $300 vs. $1200+ for local priced twin memory foam I suppose one can't complaint too much - but I would not have accepted such a defect if I didn't have to send it back - and that's not easy from Alaska .
This is a functional and attractive addition to my closet...love it!
My wife tells me I'm a knife snob now.
Then again, Amazon was handling the returns.
I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection.
I like the size of it, it was easy to hold, and the cordlessness was a big plus, especially with all the clutter on all the counters.
I used to have a 4 inch Lakewood fan which I don't think they make anymore it looked kinda like this but a millionaire guy who looks like the dead milli vanilli stole it off my work desk .
The other thing that I have noticed is that when slicing a roast or turkey breast, I always end up with part of the bottom not slicing , then I have to cut it off with a knife a few times.
So far I have only used this blender to make smoothies , and there are often a few little chunks.
The water reservoir is very easy to access, which is really convenient given how often we use it.
The fan ran exactly like it was suppose to , but the air was not cool.
It is very disappointing to have to throw away 5 qts of homemade ice cream...not to mention the cost of ingredients.
The box was packed flat and arrived in two pieces : one is the entire box including the lid which is attached at the back; and the second piece is a firm, flat insert for the bottom of the box.
There is no control to set the temperature.
I have these pie platesPyrex Easy Grab 9-1/2-Inch Pie Plateand because of the easy grab lip , it JUST fits.
When you go to pour boiled water out, the lid will fall off easily and the water splatters all over the place out the spout!
Great toaster, makes bagels just like the bagel shops (crisp on the inside and soft on the outside-assuming you cut the bagel in half of course).
Overall I like it very much.
The product serves its purpose for heat resistence and helping to protect the non-stick surface
Positives: Decent looking, seemingly accurate and consistent. Basically, it performs its core task well.
I weigh a lot of my ingredients, especially when I'm baking gluten free goodies, so it's important to have a good scale on hand.
My apartment is an old Victorian and some of the windows are TINY (15" wide)!
The book is spectacular.
We received this OXO Potato Ricer last week and already have used it for riced/mashed potatoes, spaetzle, and egg salad...what fun!

I bought mine from Japan Super Mall, and it's made in Japan .
it's going to be great for my breakfast nook in the kitchen .
My pantry has long, narrow shelves , and this fits fine.
The cleaning cycle comes on every two months which is fine, however even after cleaning it 3 times with solution, the regular clock does not come back up unless we unplug it and plug it in again which means that it also has to be reprogrammed.
The salt shaker seems well made, and it's 18/8 stainless , according to the information stamped on the bottom.
It isn't good for re-heating fast foods like pizza, but great for re-heating chinese foods that you order from take-out .Still, despite a few flaws, Sharp still knows why they make great microwave ovens, and their R-230KW is definitely worth its money.
This shows poor workmanship in the part programming and manufacturing departments , but doesn't seem to affect performance at all.
My young daughter quickly figured out how to work the pour-button spout on the handle, so you may want to make sure that it's up high enough on counters or in the fridge so that little hands can't reach it.
The bottom of each section offers space for simple removal and dispatch of both smaller ( espresso ) and larger (creamers) T-Discs.
I bought this knife on a whim, since I've been more of a fan of Cook's knives in the past.
Extremely well made - padded; great zippers.
I don't use it to make coffee ; although, I'm sure it would be fine for that as well.
So, I bought this mold , to use as an ice cube tray.
They both work great, We like the choice of coffees and the quick service we get when orgering coffee from Amazon .
It's big enough to warm leftovers and toast , but much smaller than our previous one.
that will stain the stone , the stain will not leave and the color will eventually darken.
The unit is sturdy, good-looking, quiet, easy to wash .
I first used one at my sister in law's house and really liked it.
and it takes up no space (fits in a shoe when you pack) and, along with an electric hot water boiler, we had the best coffee on the ship and before room service ever woke up.
They're good quality, but you have to treat them carefully if you want them to last.
My table is on a carpet and is stable.
Have had it for about 3 weeks so far.
You can get a durable Cuininart HM-50 for the same price (no brainer) or the Consumer Reports recommend KitchenAid Power 5 for about $10 more Do yourself a favor and look around.
I figured that I probably couldn't bake bread in the oven, since I sometimes have trouble making toast , plus it is time consuming and messy.
And the recipes included with the cookie press are very heavy on butter - 3 or 4 sticks for each batch! - which makes them taste more like shortbread cookies to me (not my favorite and more expensive to bake).
but I think a lot of the problems listed are user error .
I like the fact that the boards are three different sizes, for example, no sense getting a large cutting board dirty if you're just going to cut some cheese, while the larger boards come in handy for cutting fruit and vegetables .
The electric cord is on one side of the machine -- always the opposite side of where my electric socket is.pros:makes nice juiceinexpensivefastnoise level is tolerableI get the grater basket clean pretty easily with a dishwashing brush.
Works perfect for separating out everyone's shoes, winter hats , and left room to store the boys' backpacks and even set up a framed picture and a beloved knickknack.
The vacuum did a pretty good job with the fan blades, but there was still dust when I was finished (meaning, when my arms gave out and I gave up.)
The olive wood has lovely graining which shows up even more with oiling - mineral oil works fine.
Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.
It was wide enough to fit over the top on some of the inside doors on our 1960's era home, but not our door to the garage, where I wanted to use it.
We have had the machine about three months now
the double wall of glass does help keep my tea hot and keep my glass from sweating.
It's a pretty basic item, but it is unobtrusive and strong .Can't say much more other than to repeat it is exactly what I expected and fits my purpose perfectly.
It does a little better if you set the cooktop to "warm&#3 4; instead of leaving it on regular cooking/boiling modes, but then it'll only give you about ten seconds of having the pot off the surface before it beeps at you to demand you put it back down.
The wire rack on the bottom is great for keeping the bags from not drooping with the weight of clothing in them.
You may want to spray a mist of water onto the sweater before steaming.
I had a French press years ago but gave up on it because everything was trial & error --- no directions were included.
The container holds 64 ounces, so you can make smoothies for more than one person at a time if you want to.
I have been drinking pu-erh tea from the Yunnan province in China for many many years.
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.
i like using a steamer on hardwood floors as it really cleans them without using chemicals .
I really love OXO products and hope they can fix this problem.
it is smaller than my pyrex 13x9 glass pan, but i love this white porcelain pan, i love the handles and the fact that it can be used for more than lasagna.
No spills on the way to work as it is partially frozen, and the 2 cup amount is below the max fill line on the metal insert.
You get more flavor from your coffee than using a drip and a filter .
Tom Douglas by Pinzon Bamboo Tongs are good quality, strong and light.
The carafe has a Pyrex feel, and it's surrounded in places by plastic to protect your hands from heat.
A really great price for great quality .
I haven't set the thermostat dial above 3 out of 10 , even when it's been 10 F. outside.
Gone are the days of using knifes !
I really like this version of collapsable colander .
I have not used the built-in butter melter thingie , as I learned a long time ago that doing that makes a mess of the popper and requires a lot more clean up.
Bought this pan about a month ago , and have been using it constantly.
The magnets are convenient as these clamps stick right on the chalkboard door of my pantry.
While it may sound silly, the black rubber in the middle really does improve grip substantially .
The bowls nick more easily than the plates and coffee mugs , which haven't nicked at all.
I sealed some broccoli and blueberries (in separate jars) that had been purchased at the grocery store a few days prior.
Also, the whisk attachment is not very strong.
I still think that my old krups drip makes a great cup.
This loaf pan works precisely as advertised and produced twelve perfect sourdough rolls shaped like a tiny loaf of bread.
Tools are to small -the motor has a w h
A fantastic piece of home technology!PS - here we are, two years later, and I am still using this machine every day.
We have a wooden dowel for the clothing rack & I had to force the bag to fit on this bar.
Now all of the cooking shows seem to have switched to Kitchenaid and now I know why.
The company in my opinion needs to safety test this product a bit more closely .Natalie
Ideally this is the size of a perfect wedge of pie .
The thing I like most about this toaster is the commendable uniformity of its toasting .
And it shuts off after 15 minutes or can just be turned off.
Didn't know serving spatula's existed but I wasn't surprised.
I make Cream of Wheat about once a week (more if I'm sick ) and it requires a whisk to stir it into the boiling water so it doesn't lump together.
Not only do these BedVoyage sheets look great but the super soft feel is fabulous!
For a real test I gave some to four different people to try and they all liked it.
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?
First off, I have a Silver Persian

I love cold-filtered coffee .
I've steamed fresh broccoli and carrots for about 4 people , and it was not crowded.
It could be just me, I prefer using the medium or dark roast pods, I like strong coffee .
Some of the rust is alredy surfacing .
The only bad thing I can think to say is that one of the two units I ordered was missing the foot pedal .
I've had this model for at least 5 years after trying several other digital models.
no noticeable odor and it just keeps on working.
Per other recommendations, I did let the popper heat up a few minutes before I put in the popcorn and a little bit of popcorn oil.
it is like a big gallon ice-cream bucket .
The feet keep it elevated so that air can circulate around it.
16 ounces is probably fine for most people but I prefer 20-24.Now, the manufacturer warns you not to use this cup for carbonated drinks because it seals so well, the pressure will build up significantly.
I have two negatives: First, I have noticed that the non-stick coating seems to have tiny little scratches in it .
The only minus star to the cast iron pan is the almost diesel like smell no kidding that comes from the pan once it gets very hot.
After about a week , the whole basement was a little clearer.
The Dirt Devil Turbo Plus Bagged Canister Vacuum was sent to me by Amazon Vine for review.
I am thrilled to report that they work just great for those purposes, and without any greasing or oiling required, but they have also served me well as fudge molds .
After wasting pound of coffee on testing various ways and or amounts by which I could get a more consistent result, I have given it up.
This worked out beautifully, especially the bottom portion which is large enough for full sized canned goods (10>16oz type).
I wanted a thermal carafe, and when it arrived with glass I assumed I'd made a mistake.
I never realized that I woke up with back pain until I woke up from the first morning of sleeping on this bed with none!
A poured glass takes half an hour to settle.
To sum it up-- animal fur on furniture is no longer a problem , powerful sweeper and suction-carpeted stairs are now a breeze to clean, even great suction along the edges-the reuseable filter is very durable and very easy to clean-very well designed, feels very balanced, cord storage is excellent-easily switch to hose and crevice tool, and it has great suction as well-glides effortlessly across flat surfacesThis little guy is so handy, I will sometimes get on my hands and knees and do a guick spruce up of the entire living room.
Only for tea or black coffee though and put up with plastic taste.
the Cuisinart is a better value if it's within $10 of this.
The only possible drawback is that it's rather heavy .
I have an electric tea maker from T-fal that I bought in France
I searched all over Amazon and other places to find a tough glass
After too many frustrating times when I needed my smallest cutting board but it was already dirty from something else and I couldn't cross-contaminate things, I ended up ordering two of these 5x7 Architec boards, one in turquoise and one in white.
But, if you have any sort of comfort issue as you're standing and working in the kitchen, I would bet the ol' GelPro could make things significantly more comfy !
I find that it takes longer than suggested cooking times ... 8 hours can turn out to be 10 plus hours .
Overall, this is a nice scale and well worth the price .
I've read some bad reviews about people not getting response from Hoover .
This is "guaranteed for life", though I'd hardly expect I'd ever make a claim unless it died within the first year or so.
Since this unit isn't as powerful as full size microwaves it takes a little longer to do some jobs, but the space saving design is perfect for offices, dorms, or any other small spaces where a full size microwave isn't possible.
My old wooden drying rack gave up the ghost after 20 years of service.
This one works fine , and there is no problem pouring using it (??).

I knew going into it that my coffee choices would be limited and more expensive, but was not prepared for my 14 ounce travel cup to not even come close to fitting under the dispenser.
Steam comes from the upper lid of the presser .
Everything about this press - the build quality, the levering action that makes it easier to crush garlic (even with the skin on!)
Some of the best things about this pie slicer are the clean up and storage, and the ability to slice the pie in 6 or 8 slices.
Update Oct. 31, 2011OK, it's been 2 years and I've changed the batteries once.
The heater also acts as a fan wow! It can blow cool air as well as hot air.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this coffee press , and tha fact that it won't EVER require a replacement glass insert is the BEST.The coffee is delicious and not bitter, which is why I purchased a French press in the first place, but for clumsy ol' me, this is a godsend.
I simply apply to center of my forehead and it starts working.
I'd give it one more star if it wasn't so loud.
I wouldn't use this on drywall or any soft-material wall for fear of indenting it, but if your shower wall is drywall you have bigger problems.
Being made out of plastic I don't know that the seems will actually hold the 70 lbs it says it will.
Coffee tastes better ..no pot to clean.
It's sturdy, attractive, easy to use and to clean and according to her mother who also owns Simply Calphalon, she will be using it forever .
The only thing I dislike so far about the Breville BJE200X is the pulp collector size since I juice a lot on a daily basis so I have to empty the pulp collector more often than the Jack Lalanne PJP Power Juicer Pro.
The pan will season itself with each cooking.
9 years ).
This trash can is what I consider medium sized as I use a 39 gallon metal one a local store painted for my trash - 6 people = 1 black trash bag per day.
I made pizza from recipes in the book
The folding legs are nice when it comes to storing them, since they take up less space , but there really needs to be a way to lock them into place during use.
Also, it's big enough to cover a large plate.
They fit my half sheet pans , clean easily, work as good as parchment for my uses and baked goods come right off.
I found that adding an egg or two, and sometimes a little beer to the bread recipes makes the loafs come out FLUFFY FLUFFY FLUFFY!Wonderful!AND... at only about $1/loaf for ingredients, it pays for itself within a few months.***************************December 24, 2013Breadmaker stopped kneading/working and emitted burnt electronics smells.
A must buy for breakfast but, please, don't wake up *too* early .
When I started buying different size tips, I found that I couldn't get one coupler to fit the larger tips, so it turned out to be a real challenge to find the right couplers .I later found out that some people don't even use couplers, they just drop the tip into the bag, but I really didn't want to go that route.
I replaced four beakers, two glass tea presses, and several beakers from milk frothers in short order before giving up.
ZeroWater produces water that tastes good, much better than bottled water, which has a plastic taste .
(And, yes, I have read the owner's manual from cover to cover.)
I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer.
While this is a relatively inexpensive kitchen tool, I suggest contacting the manufacturer if problems arise.
After dropping the pan a few times to get the air bubbles out, cakes our pretty much leveled as we rarely have to level the cakes.
These beautiful stainless steel steak knives come in an elegant ebony box with gleaming chrome hinges and clasp.
a Krups that worked well and lasted a very long time, but all good things must come to an end so when it came time to replace it, I found my only option was a hand-held (which I also have as a back-up) and this Hamilton Beach model.
* Update Sept 17 th, 2011 *
I got this coffee maker the other week before Christmas , I like it , however I have to use regular ground coffee as my fine coffe will not allow to flow the water fast enough , I purchased some good dark roast coffee from STAR****
Such is the case here with these thoughtfully designed measuring cups.
I was happily surprised to find my coffee still hot after 4 hours .
The second issue which was more my fault is the size .
If you've never owned a product like this before you might not realize that you absolutely CANNOT soak them in water .
I bought this because I'd been wanting to try a salad spinner , but didn't want to spend a lot.
Overall a great product, very easy to clean up makes using it a pleasure and not a pain.
I have a wide selection of coffees and teas on hand at all times, and my neighbors compare us to a coffee shop .
KitchenAid has been making fine kitchen appliances for nearly a century now - their first product having been a mixer!
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.
we bought this on lightning deal for black Friday and got a great deal on it, I did see that it does not come with the screws to mount to the wall, that was no biggie, just make sure to get 3 and a half inch wood screws at the hardware shop and your set to go, we assembled this unit in less then 15 minutes, and got it up on the wall in 20 minutes = 35 minutes, this is a great concept and it does not stick out far from the wall and the openings are the perfect size.
As another reviewer mentioned, it only does about 2 hours and then needs to charge over night.
I guess he really likes slicing potatoes and grating cheese. My wife even sent one small but necessary piece of this down the disposal.
It is quiet as can be.
This tortilla warmer really works.
I'm a big guy and this is just about the perfect size.
Plus....... You can customize your popcorn by type of oil, seasonings, etc.
I bought cheesecloth from two different vendors to see which I preferred.
it seems pretty pricey for a mat.
This bread pan is exactly what it says.
My last cheapy kettle is over 17 years old and my nephew states that it continues to work like a charm.
Even with the generous Amazon discount I would have to be feeling particularly flush to buy myself another set.
After looking at many different locations we couldn't find what were looking for, we found this on Amazon and was very hesitant of ordering a large item online especially one that took a fair amount of labor (more on that later).
I packaged this DeLonghi back up and went and replaced my Cuisinart with the identical one I have used for years.
Mix - it will bubble up - seetles right down for 4 perfect waffles - 6 min cook .***********Betty
If you need to simmer your dish after bringing the cooker down for pressure, the glass lid comes in handy.
Two negatives:1)The grinder *is* loud , but that's hard to get away from in any burr grinder this size.
If you don't like it, you ain't out but a few bucks (so long as they continue to offer this under $5 )
Pour some right into a glass and some through this aerator (and ideally into a second glass).For me, immediately after pouring the wine which had been aerated tasted much better.
Using 1/2 cup of natural Greek yogurt as a starter, 1 1/2 cups of 1% milk, and 1/2 cup of dry milk, I get good yogurt in 10 hours.
These silicone gaskets will replace the rubber one which came with this espresso make.
This vacuum is replacing the Hoover wind tunnel 2 bagless ; one of the worst electrical devices I've ever owned.
Oh, and I had another one crack by itself due to temperature differences (it was in the fridge).
I have found that "airing" the loaves helps prevent mold, which can be a problem if the bread is not consumed rapidly enough.
I'm an old man, I've been drinking wine for decades , and I've owned lots of corkscrews and wine openers, including some quite expensive ones, and this is truly the best I've ever seen.
First, I like the rubberized handle on top .
It slices through everything like it's warm butter, and items fall away from the sides .
Just follow the instructions to put it on
I paid about $11 today to return the item.
Update: I've had this product on the wall in my bathtub area for well over a year now and the suction cups are still rock solid.
For what's its worth the reason people purchase vegetable rennet vs. animal is because the process to get animal rennet isn't very "animal friendly".

I've been using my Breville three months now and love it.
Like the Space Bag the air will leak back into the Contractor's bag but the knot and the seams will hold, you've gained space and it cost you about a quarter .
I like the handles on the colander and the nonslip bottom on the bowl, which keeps you from having to hang onto it lest it slips.
I do not like this sifter at all because it starts out sifting while using the spring action handle and then it stops sifting after a few pulls and you end up having to shake the sifter to get the flour out.
All that it did was circulate hot air .
Both the utensil cubbies and the bases of the little posts in the drain bottom get slimy and lately, collect dark crud .
There is no difference in the noise level between medium and high...meaning, it's too loud .
It makes very little noise, so that you could use it early in the morning and not worry about waking others.
I am making two quarts of yogurt every other day.
You used to be able to find folding racks like this at the local hardware store, even the grocery store , but those days are gone here in that retail desert between the Hudson and the west coast.
This is my third stove-top grill/griddle, and I think this one will probably last me until the day I die .It's made of extremely heavy cast iron , comes pre-seasoned from the factory, and is a dream to use on my electric range.
I much prefer my Farberware Pro Silicone Grabbers.
The build quality is solid as expected.
This grill is considerably lighter in weight than my old grills as well as less expensive .
We use it 1-2 times per weeks to crush ice for smoothies and other drinks.
I don't wanna bust out a measuring cup/shot glass/jigger everytime I'm gonna drink something... 'cause I literally shake at least six drinks at various times of the day.
a recipe pamphlet .
We installed the D batteries since there was no outlet where she has her trashcan located.
I just ordered another to support my hip .
I was at first very impressed with the cutting board .
Unbelievable array of attachments/equipment , these mixers do SO much more than just mix my cookies!
Guess what went in the trash last week?I love the Big Boss grill more than I ever loved my Foreman and here is why:The plates: These easily go into my dish washer , no problem.
When I say 'perfect cup' I'm talking about a cup of coffee for someone that likes coffee press style coffee - not filtered, drip coffee.
This is my favorite baking pan !
The bags are opaque enough to give a bit of privacy to what's inside.
love this product; set up was sooooo easy; no screws at all, just follow the instructions step by step, takes about 20 mins to finish; soooo light and so portable.
There have been times, because of the frame and the size of the picture that I have had to modify the hook to bring the picture a little closer to the wall, but that's the worst I can say and even then, I continue to buy the product because it's so easy to use and so successful at holding the pictures in place without destroy the wall or having pictures fall.
I ordered two of these and they both fit perfectly side by side on my large cookie sheet.
RV'S DO NOT HAVE A GOOD OVEN FOR BAKING PIZZA .
Anyway, set is dinner party worthy and have real (nice!) restaurant quality appearance .
I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was.
Very unexpected to match my fine china as well.
Heats up quick and even, timer is accurate but does not double as a clock .
Kuerig , you really dropped the ball on this one.
It has actually useful and worthwhile features ( temp, and "keep warm" ).
The bonded leather is really nice looking and looks like leather.
Beside those two things, I am happy thus far with the oven, but I've only had it for about a month .
They are great pans for a great price!
I wish it were a little bigger, but with creative arrangement it will hold 6 pieces of french toast.
The only drawback that I've seen so far (and this goes for most travel mugs) is the difficulty in cleaning it .
Instead of a pristine flat baking surface, there are some dents in the pan's surface .
Initial message said delivery estimate of 2-8 DEC, fantastic, then a revision the next day to show 1-7...superb, but it arrived yesterday, 29th - you folks really rock!
I have had two of these from Amazon the first one the base didnt work at all, this one the base is like 90% working... there is a screw you are supposed to attach to the swivel part of the base but if you do it properly it wont swivel, so I left it off and it swivels "good enough".
a tube extension (it only comes with one that's about 2 feet long) so reaching higher spots it a challenge.
I purchased this adjustable frame and the frame broke into two pieces in less than seven months.
I highly suggest this pressure cooker, but realize you have to make sure the seal is clean, the pressure relief valve is in its proper position (parallel to the handle with it pointing to right while looking at the front of the cooker) and you will have a successful experience with this cooker.
Sturdy, functional, effective and made in the USA.
Finger prints and future dust can be removed with a soft cloth.
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.
Any size cookbook you're likely to own, can safely, be easily be held open by this 'pop-up' holder .My cookbook holder has been used for everything from a recipe scribbled on the back of an envelope,to three inch thick hard-cover books, and yes even 3 ring binder style.
I've had my Bissel Vac for about 3 years now and have been using the same filters that came with it-I washed them regularly and they held up well.
It's also about 5x the price of a basic mop and bucket.
Recently received this item and have already used it a few times.
While it is muli-functional; 2 biggest irritatiosn are:- it has to be plugged out - i cannot just press a button for it to stop heating.
It cools the room quickly and this is a second floor room,so you know it gets hot.
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.
After long use, the probe cord material starts to crack (especially if you let the grill get too hot).
Makes a three shots of great tasting "espresso".
You will need a couple of strong guys with tools who have several hours to spare and skills in building and installation .
So I am not sure what is up with this particular door rack .
I think the food can get inside there and, well, it isn't safe .I dont know if the problem is that my paring knife is yellow and the fancy colors knives are defective.
For one, it's Fahrenheit only, whereas most sous vide recipes are in Celsius, so be prepared to type "50 c to f" into google every time you use it.
I originally bought this item to fit store bought eggs inside their original container to be put inside this plastic container but the original container won't fit along with the eggs in this plastic container.
The "to the door delivery" was a great help considering it is a bit heavy for me to lift, probably would be no problem for someone a bit stronger.
The only problem you will encounter is if you make pizzas on it or bake breads that have a higher than normal oil content that will stain the stone, the stain will not leave and the color will eventually darken .
Dolce Gusto lured me in with their great tasting/easy cappuccinos but I'm ready to return my second machine because of the "no water" error.
This is the correct HF-2 filter, but the version that was shipped was the one with the Arm and Hammer baking soda bag on the back .
Needless to say, I have sold the Cusinart , stopped using the Keurig at the jobsite and have gone back to a real brewer.
We are in our 50's so we have owned a few vacuums in our time.
The handles make it easy to lift and carry the items.
So I ordered these clips .
I'm glad I ordered the frosty clear color , as it lets the light shine through without being transparent.
a 500-degree oven.
I received this grill last year as a Christmas gift
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.
One day I'd had enough of these things falling down and Googled around and discovered these on Amazon .They are easy to apply and work perfectly.
I've even been known to take it out to make my ( no ice ) green smoothie, because it works better than my blender.
The timer itself works fine, but the display is terrible.
I did lose some of the juice from the pressure of the cutter, but not a lot.
In other words, there are two layers of thin metal mesh to ensure even the smallest seeds and particles are caught in the net.
It has a heavier than usual thickness compared to other FoodSaver containers.
When the napkins start to get low in the holder, the weighted arm does make it mildly difficult to neatly pull out napkins - perhaps this is a mild nit-pick which can be easily remedied by just re-filling the napkins .
Im not sure how it would I had a normal sized wine bottle and the sides of the container were not even close to touching the sides on the bottle.
This is a two-way sword, however, because when vacuuming HEAVY WOOL AREA RUGS it tries to suck up the rug and makes the most frightening squeal!
But the sheer expanse of white also poses a potential target for all manner of liquid soaps, shampoos, and rinses.
The machine itself was simple to assemble, extra switches were included.
Tried first using for dinner guests, couldn't use the recipes that were in the printed manual, found one online that was described in video.
So far it has kept our large basement at 70 degrees and has not run that much even though it is really cold up here in NE PA. Now if the electric bills are less than last year that will be the icing on the cake.
Now less than 5 months later the teflon coating is coming off in our baked waffles.
The four setting he spoke of only toasts the top of the crust, not the whole slice.
It is durable, attractive, and, most importantly, stainless steel - that last eliminating any chance of a broken pot.
Note: I received a sample of the product in exchange for an honest review .
This thing is small but cuts quickly and easily !
More often than not the ones I have come across are too big and bulks to be left out on the counter and just didn't deliver what I needed the most - the juice!With this Epica juicer though I am happy to say that it is truly a marvelous little gadget that doesn't take up too much space, and looks good on the counter top!
The push button drain feature on the Kuhn Rikon worked well for me but the locking drain feature never worked well and quickly broke.
After quite unsuccessfully trying to limit my inhuman food portions , I bought a food scale.

I have 9.5 in pie plates and they barely fit.

I had a 600 pound man sit in one and he said it was very comfortable for him and obviously did not break.
I have flax seed in one and course salt in the other.
After hand washing these chopping mats, they wont' stay flat.
Instead I recommend the Duck non-adhesive shelf liner.
To my surprise, this knife turns out to be one of my favorites given that it can handle most of your slicing, chopping, scooping and dicing all with one tool!The weight is perfect since its not a meat cleaver, and it handles fine dicing to rough chopping amazingly well!
Expect it to take on a taste if ur refrigerator .
Thin slices of soft bread is difficult to stand up on its own, and easily get squashed by ever slight pressure of pushing the loaf into the plastic end piece. This often resulted in badly cut slices for 3/4 of my loaf.
No fingerprints ... well.. you hardly have to ever touch it so maybe that's part of the benefit.
It won't take anything larger than a standard 12 oz can.
An easy 5 stars.

The recipes are also in German, but cmon you can Google any recipe in seconds and it will do just fine. It doesnt make long sushi rolls, instead it makes short squatty ones.
It's small but is a workhorse when needed for a party, popping 18 cups of popcorn in under 3 minutes .
I had the Cooper Cooler for about a year and a half, used it here and there, maybe every couple weeks if needed.
This is a very slim scale with a long battery life that works pretty well! It's light , and it works great on our tile and thin rug surfaces.
No it's not thick, but it is stainless and it's easy to clean. Pop it into dishwasher and it looks new again. Yes, it does whistle, but in proportion to its size.

The quality is good and the design is whimsical...very cute .
However, these small blenders don't pack the necessary power for my type of use.
Alarm is mild , wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise.
What a great hand mixer .
Sure, but they didn't mention that the sound/sleep machine was an idling dump truck !
Our kitchen is a little small so there's not too much space to use it (but that's the fault of our kitchen not the product).I didn't find it to be any different (cooking-wise, speed-wise) than using a regular cooktop but it has the added bonus of being safer and using less energy.
Fitting well is narrow - so its required little more chopping 'for example its fit 2 big carrots ,but medium to big potato have to be split ,and if you don't mind to cut cabbage on smaller chunks - cole slow became a breeze, Does very well for puree, shredding - very good even slicing ,but potatoes wouldn't be round ,unless using small ones.
Others have had size problems , but these fit the Shark XL which has the larger head.

Oh, the pillow cases barely cover my pillows. (and they are standard size) Buy at your own risk.
I bought this humidifier specifically for white noise and it does not disappoint. My husband snores.
These bumps don't impact the function of the scoop , but they certainly don't look that great.

This opener CUTS through the metal easily and smoothly .
I was tired of the problems with vertical napkin holders .
It'll hold maybe six shampoo bottles, depending, of course, on how large your shampoo bottles are.
Con: It REALLY purees things...too creamy sometimes .
It did have a bit of a plastic smell at first, but that went away after a few times of just heating up water in it.
So memorize that the bottom button is cancel and the top button is bagel.
AND the storage bag which I kinda dismissed is actually awesome!!
I depend on people who give good reviews to make my choices and the first person here is so correct, they are great.
The filter on this vacuum is rinse and reuse which is convenient.
The only issue I have with this, is it beeps (and loudly too) every time you push a button.
Sometimes a coworker would take the spare cup of coffee , but often it would go cold sitting there as not everyone can handle such an amazing cup of coffee.

The dishes held up in the dishwasher, no chips or porcelain impurities noticed .
it is a bit tough to remove from the charger unit and I wish the tool storage was a bit more permanent ...they just sit there and get knocked off easily...but using this vacuum has been easy and it is great to know that it will do a good job when called on....pet hair, crumbs, sand, etc.....

I found not useing the paper filter and grinding the coffee expresso and stoping the water when it starts to look pale makes a med.
We bought this to clean our carpeted stairs with.
Son was very afraid of the pump as it sounds like a vacuum cleaner...Easy quick assembly- threw on the cover (a really soft and plush fleece cover, with straps that go all the way around for comfort and safety-and a really cheerful and cute pattern-definitely gender neutral) and he got right on and then gave us a big fight when we wanted him to sleep in his regular bed and had a fit when we deflated it, rolled it up, put it in it's bag, and put it away...

The different size bowls is great to have to mix everything from eggs to pancakes to just plane out cakes!

We've been using them for a three months now and they are AWESOME!--The handels are strong and hold tough even when they are packed heavy.--The plastic inserts show zero signs of cracking or wearing out.--The vibrant colors are fun and help remind me to grab them from the back seat of my car (where they "live")-- They ARE washable! We put one through the wash with all the other clothes and it came out in one peice!
The lid is made strangely and it twists to become looser and thats how you drink it .

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.
The OXO "Good Grips" Lemon Zester has a very good grip indeed.
I've read complaints about the cord length ( 3 ft ), but any longer would make it awkward to wind and carry.
It was very easy to install as the placement of the wall brackets along the length of the track are adjustable, so you can make sure you're getting the brackets into wall studs.
The older version had a button that retracted the cord .
The containers don't stain and stack really well in the pantry or fridge.
I purchased both the Pyrex measuring spoons and Pyrex measuring cups .
I got the red roaster to replace an overpriced, overrated calphalon roaster I had.

I used them right away to make Zucchini Bread.
They cut a zig-zag edge , which helps prevent fraying.

Dis-assembly and cleanup is fairly simple and quick .
It has a solid metal construction and a chrome finish, with options for hanging it over a door or directly mounting it to a wall.

Air Condition unit is nice but trying to fit the window panels for the hoses did not work with my window, I was disappointed, had a air condition company come in to assist but after many attempts, just would not fit my windows, so I had to return the unit .
The capacity is rather small but just right for a small group .
The only challenge is if you have fluffy pillows (mine are down) and you use this case, it is near impossible to put flannel sheets on because of the friction of the case loops and the flannel.

The ZOJIRUSHI TUFF MUG looks smaller than the one I have, that's about [...] and has a handle, but it actually holds the same amount of liquid (about 2-cups or 16-ounces filled to the brim with no ice).It's about 6 3/4" tall, with the lid on, and the lid has a small compartment for herbs, tea or sugar.

The only negative is that the construction could be better .
The rubber handle is too thick and bulky to hold comfortably, and there is not enough flex in the blade to assist with proper flipping.
Overall, this is an easy to use peeler on fruits, and vegetables and strong and should last for a long time.
Then I seasoned it according to the other insturctions that came with the pan (yes, it came with two different sets of instructions).

It's okay for a small room.
One downside - the On/Off/Tare button; within 48 hours, the ink used to label the button has WORN OFF! The functionality of the scale has NOT been impacted, and I know its the on off button (theres only 2 buttons on the whole machine) but still, I was surprised the ink faded so quickly...
These cookie sheets seem to be extremely consistant .
So I took down all my summer clothes packed them in the space bags, did the same with blankets/comforters I'm not using at the moment, and these bags did the job.

My RO is using these ISpring filters.;__Tap water:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~98 PPM__RO:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~25
I pulled it out of the cabinet on Sunday for a party and it would not come on...my husband took the back off and the inside insulation was severely burned where the electric connects to the heating element .....pretty sure they will not replace at this late date, but am going to try....even if they do, this is still a definite quality control issue!

This is a relatively affordable item, does descent job for a small space .
Given its utility and the frequency with which I use it I'd have to say that "for the money" this merits five stars , for me it has been a very useful item for little cost.
Now I use the rods for scooping up items that have fallen behind the washer, knocking stuff out from under the sofa, batting cobwebs from the porch ceiling, poking the dog so he gets off the chair, changing the channels when I can't find the remote, "sword" fighting with my grandsons, staking vegetables and more.
It did produce significant amount of " fuzz ," but most of it remained in the dryer on the filter, and I haven't noticed much on the bed.

The current design has the lid handle screwed on the underside and it is open to the heat source .

Then, the size was much smaller than I expected .
UPDATE April 14, 2014 : Have had this carafe since 2011 and it still looks like the day we took it out of the box.
It's got excellent suction, is very easy to clean, and has just the right tools to get those nooks and crannies than the standup vac wouldn't reach.

It sucks up tons of dirt .
I have many OXO products that are absolutely perfect, but I have a few little quibbles about this hamper.
It's a bit smaller than most, which I like (carrying 22 ounces of water or more around seems silly to me).The insulation works great.
that is why I rate only 4 stars .
If this tray cost $6 or $8 I would be happy, but not at $27.50 , this is for collectors only.

A true jewel red .
Just a few words of warning:This is the same exact unit that keeps popping up over and over again with a new brand name slapped on it (aka Mammoth Air or New Comfort) that still has no warranty information whatsoever AND DOESN'T WORK as an air purifier...all it really does is move some air around...
If you are covering a lot of food/area you may have to stop and pump it a few times, but it doesn’t take more than 10seconds .Huge Pro - Super easy to spray bread evenly.
After reading several of the negative reviews , I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam, but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using the oven for a few weeks, I can earnestly say that we are very happy with the decision.
We used the yeast raised waffle recipe that came with the waffle maker.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:This knife IS sharper than most in its price range, but for cutting blocks of cheese I am not seeing any breath-taking difference from my humble 6" utility knife or 8" chef's knife.
I purchased the companion pepper grinder today.
Great replacement for my old aluminum one.
it's silicone it will have a little slimy feel unless you soak it in a detergent, but you dont have to.

The pocket is only 1+3/4" deep (top-to-bottom) so regarding 'Grandma's' claim, I can't imagine how anyone could store a toothbrush and toothpaste and timer and floss in there: absolutely no way, as they would just fall over and out (except for the floss).

My thrifty self balks at the MSRP .

THE BLADE IS PERFECT, it's razor sharp and well, you know , it is kyocera .BUT, just one thing I hated: THERE'S A LITTLE SPACE where the handle meets the blade.
We opted for the Kitchenaid mixer and Calphalon cookware, and decided to skimp on the blender, figuring a blender is a blender and what difference would it make?It makes a big difference.
Seriously, who needs a tiny 1.5 liter , oops sorry no metric system, that's a .4 gallon trashcan?Well - they're all over Europe in the restaurants and bed & breakfasts.
I hung it on the side of the bookcase in the family room ...I liked it well enough to drill two small holes in the bookcase to mount it.
I purchased this set about 7 months ago when it sold for $62.99 .
I did struggle using this to clean our 15 carpeted steps to the second floor.
It holds and distributes heat well and can easily burn, but cleans up just fine with some steel wool or baking soda.
that rust .
The mug has a wide opening, so you get a large serving of the aroma coming from your beverage.
But for my mother, it is perfect and a white kitchen size trash bag fits perfectly.
We drink it all in at least 2DAYS .
Maintains performance & efficacy after repeated washings up to 200 Fahrenheit .Sleep
The second unit is still working, but it too is becoming noisier and we have noticed that the green power light is fading .
A great buy - especially with the three-year warantee.
Or the k cups that most of those more expensive makers use.
It's nothing more than some lightweight material ( kind of like a mattress pad, with a draw string inlieu of elastic ).
There is also a set of utensils that can be bought specifically for this set that works the best on the non-stick surface.
I have a porcelain enamel covered SS teapot but it fell and chipped on the outside.
the lack of a temperature setting along with no separate warming option is why it's a 4 star IMO.
The steam vents are plenty and quite powerful .
so if anyone wants a washboard style air mattress, I have one for sale.
For $5-$6 can I really ask for any more than 3 good years of hard use and abuse of a product.
So, this was a huge step down for me in terms of power .
I love the small, convenient size for things like fruit, olives, and cheese, and they are so small that I can just leave a clean one out all the time, ready to be used.
I tried adding a 50' extension cord but it seemed to get wrapped around everything.
EDIT 7/1/2014: After dropping one of the lids, the plastic "Farberware" log broke and fell out .
The other side is super absorbent, smoother, and feels a bit like a microfiber towel (it isn't really that fine, just close to that feeling).These are just so darn nice.
I bought 2 of these; one was for my office and the other for my house.
However, we are very happy with this item and are looking forward to many more yummy meals with it.
For that reason I changed from 5 stars to 4 stars .
but it is a good toaster oven and I will use it at least twice a day because I never use the oven on my stove.
I have found that mice can chew through every kind of plastic storage container, but they absolutely cannot chew through glass , lol!
Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub ; the print is wearing off.
It has a heavier than usual thickness compared to other FoodSaver containers.
I do not recommend it as a bath towel, though it could be a pretty sarong if one is using it after swimming.
These sheets are made of good, heavy fabric .
This Hoover vacuum was simple to put together.
At least not enough to pick up anything more than a hair or a miniscule crumb .
If you try to fill from above with typically-thick consumer hand soap, it simply overflows and spills all over your counter .
The bowl is large enough to hold a lot of lettuce , which is great, but I do wish sectioned parts for the toppings were a bit larger.
We live in Florida and on a hot summer day our apartment AC stopped working.
I received the table very quickly and in perfect condition.
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).
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.
It's also pretty lightweight considering it's size.
It doesn't leak a substantial amount, but it makes a mess and is a pain to clean because it gets between the plastic and the machine.
I have got these peelers for a gift for 3 ppl so far
This is a beautiful, solid, stainless steel cup.
I got this for my daughter , who is an avid tea drinker.
I just bought another one here on Amazon because the red one I have has a few cut marks about 4 or 5 inches from the tip (I think from using it as a spatula to get all of the spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, etc. out of cans when I am emptying them into the pot.
I bought these stands to hold my rear surround speakers and keep them at ear level.
I of course had discarded the box by then, so sending it back would be a pain in the ass.
This unit arrived in a box that was not damaged or bent, so we know this wasn't caused by shipping or in the warehouse.
I live alone , but like to bake for gifts and monthly card parties.
I was in desperate need of a can opener , and this little guy saved the day.
I brew a two-cup thermal mug of coffee every day of the week and sometimes twice on Sunday, and so I use a #2 filter every day, or even more.
This good because you can "see" that it work and bad because you can "see" how dirty your carpet is.
When I received the sheets I immediately washed them and put them on the bed .
Because of these two things, I rated this product a 3 instead of a 4.The trigger is a little wide and not too ergonomic but not horrible .Keep
Setting it up and calibrating was simple - put the batteries in and set it on a hard surface.
Easy to load, produces lots of ground pepper quickly, fits will into the hand - although a little too slick if one's hands aren't perfectly dry.
It is so easy to do and is ready in a few days .
By the end of the third week, on the low setting it sounds like a roaring freight train .
10 GOT IT ABOUT 15 -just got around to using it because I'v been waiting to buy tea pot for boiling water-I wanted to make the pot
I just wanted to contribute that the coffee is just as hot and strong as when I used to make it.
old kid exactly one hour to put this together, from the moment we opened the box until we were done tidying up everything.
FYI, the Libbey site has 4 in a mini baking set, and the dimensions are 4.9" x 1" .
When I first got this pan I thought it was a little heavy , but after using it...love it.
we bought this on lightning deal for black Friday and got a great deal on it, I did see that it does not come with the screws to mount to the wall, that was no biggie, just make sure to get 3 and a half inch wood screws at the hardware shop and your set to go, we assembled this unit in less then 15 minutes, and got it up on the wall in 20 minutes = 35 minutes, this is a great concept and it does not stick out far from the wall and the openings are the perfect size.
I PURCHASED THIS LOVELY BLANKET FOR MY GUEST ROOM.
Overall I like it very much.
I drink a lot of soda, and am used to buying big 2-liter bottles , or 12 or 24 packs of drinks.
;) Update 1/21/10The heater is still working well and has kept my basement at 70 degrees all through the cold, cold winter. We got our first electric bill with the heater running
Yes, it has one speed (plus a "pulse" function), but you only need one speed anyway.
I measured the diameter and depth of the stone with a caliper and then used a mathematical formula to determine what the gem SHOULD weigh if it were a diamond perfectly cut, which was a little over 1.97 carats.
As an added bonus, I guess because the motor is so powerful, the mixer is relatively quiet - not the sort to break your eardrums.
It still works better for me than canned air .
I bought this for one purpose and that was to clean our screened in porch and then store it in a small tote on the porch, along with all the accessories.
BUT they are so small - especially after I washed and dried them!
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.
3 years in, it still works, but it is louder and requires more thorough cleaning.
The Auratic Chun Hao Tea Set would be an elegant addition to any tea lover's kitchen!
It actually does work for keeping a leftover half avocado from going brown for a couple of days .
Lodge Logic quality speaks for itself.
I have the larger Cuisinart keurig product that has a larger water reservoir that allows you to make successive single cups without the hassle of having to fill it up each time.
The toast comes out perfect every time and always comes out of the toaster properly .
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.
the green indicator light will be ready in 2-3 mins instead of some reviewers mentioned 20 mins or so.(2) fill in the coffee and followed the instruction like the other reviewers do; coffee will be made within 30 seconds after you switch to the dial to the make the coffee.
I have a mandolin for cutting up food, but it was almost impossible to use because the food never seemed to stay attached to the pronged food handle.
For that, it is perfect- covers the deep mattress well, seems to be resistant to liquids seeping through, and isn't too "plastic" feeling (has a nice, thin terry cover).
This is the first time I have EVER reviewed a product on Amazon, but I felt compelled to try and prevent others from making my mistake.
It's so nice to be able to get the floor clean without aggravating my allergies and/or asthma!
Silicon cleans up nicely and it has magnets hidden on the back so they stick to the fridge...very cool.
It's a bit small to hang on to and will grind only enough for a few cups at a time which is perfect for me and my crew.
The ZOJIRUSHI TUFF MUG looks smaller than the one I have, that's about [...] and has a handle, but it actually holds the same amount of liquid (about 2-cups or 16-ounces filled to the brim with no ice).It's about 6 3/4" tall, with the lid on, and the lid has a small compartment for herbs, tea or sugar.
I use the pinch spoon to measure a powdered medication for my little dog Moosey.
Also I wanted to use it to warm up my toes, but it was not possible to change the angle down to floor ( probably safety issue for carpet).Might be good if you do mind the light or want to use it ourdoor.
A little bit of white vinegar after washing keeps it sparkling.
They seem to be very durable for glass, the sizes are very handy for storing leftovers and taking your lunch to work , the lids fit well, I don't have to worry about horrible chemicals leaching like plastic containers, and best of all they're one of the few things I can find that are still made in the USA.
I'm changing furniture --- going from leather sofas and chairs to fabric, so this will come in handy for incidents that might happen there.
The performance, style and noise level are all what you would expect from a Friedrich and I couldn't be happier.
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.
First I bought a mandolin to julienne my carrots and cucumbers for California rolls .
Its easy to clean. Wipe and done.
the green indicator light will be ready in 2-3 mins instead of some reviewers mentioned 20 mins or so.(2) fill in the coffee and followed the instruction like the other reviewers do; coffee will be made within 30 seconds after you switch to the dial to the make the coffee.
Yes, they do snap closed and require you to push the button to open them - but more than once we've had the bottles pop open in my kids' lunchboxes and leak all over (the drink drips/pours out the straw).
I'd previously received the company's muffin pan which I strongly prefer to the baking cups- it's just easier to clean a whole pan than it is to clean individual cups.
I gave this product four stars because the basket design (and maybe this is why BB&B has the different design) allows for smaller items to slip through .
The construction is exceptional .
I haven't had one rust issue.
As with any heating unit, be careful and use caution - do not go to sleep with ANY space heater on and do not put it in an area where it can get tipped over.
Yes, it's loud , but it neither bother me NOR my boyfriend at all.
The best way to clean hard-water deposits is to use 1/4 apple cider vinegar in 3 cups of water; boil contents, let sit, clean with non-scratch pad.
At first I wondered who could possibly need a one-quart butter pan !
After I fill my cup with the now boiling water, I open the top and the residual heat from the coil makes the thin film of water that's left evaporate almost immediately.
I am very satisfied with this product .
This Kamenstein paper towel holder, which we purchased at Bed, Bath, and Beyond , is far superior for wall-mounted applications: the roll slides on and off easily enough (but not so easily that it will pull off when you're not wanting it to), and it spins with ease (but not so much that it will spew paper towels all over).
I almost had a heart attack the first time I used this (Hoover Elite Rewind for $79 at Walmart )
The inside is metal so it can't go in microwave.
I purchased a 30 lbs Energy Center Channel for a home theater and this is fantatsic way to be creative and use a large moutning system well bulit to hold up not just a receiver but also a center channel.
I have neckties and bowties .
You will have to really torque screws to bottom the heads for sturdy construction.
I have one tiny closet to hold my vacuum, ironing board, cleaning chemicals, and all the things needed to clean my house and the things in it, We were really having issues with the closet getting over-crowded and things falling on top of each other, and this was one of the things we bought to try to organize it.
This is the "best buy" blender recommended by Cook's Illustrated .
My only complaint about the product, and it's a minor one, is that the strainer isn't as efficient as it could be .
Presumably this channel is to collect fat rendered while roasting meat.
I've used it on jars of Mean Green juice too.
Green Earth Wok by Ozeri has 5 layers that make great pans they are: Ecozeri Multilayered coating that is a powerful non stick ceramic layer, Premium Top Ceramic Layer, Aluminum, Pro-base Ceramic Coating Layer, and a Ceramic Coating Bond Layer.
In my case it is a good product because with two dogs my floors get heavy traffic/petstains/hair/dirt tracking.
a stainless steel pattern , or even a bit darker shade of silver so they blended into stainless steel more.
This is accomplished by running a bristled vacuum wand over the outer surface grating.
The tub stays cold enough they can do 2 batches of ice cream in a row .
They're very sharp, work well, the handles are gel/rubberized , and they come with color-coded covers/sheaths.
I tortured myself with research on which pressure cooker I should buy and the Fagor Duo came out on on near the top in many reviews.
I can vacuum the whole middle level of my house on one battery charge, including my sectional couch.
This is very easy to install, I just stuck the 3Ms on the back on the flat parts (i used 4) and stuck the mounting bracket to the wall and slid the dispensers on to it.
These wonderful hangers hold onto a pair of slacks with a vice-like grip.
I now have three of them and even in the largest room, it does a great job.
I use a grind halfway between drip and espresso .
A must buy for breakfast but, please, don't wake up *too* early.
The chrome look matches my faucet and is fairly unobtrusive.
The rubber handle is too thick and bulky to hold comfortably, and there is not enough flex in the blade to assist with proper flipping.
I use it with gunpowder green tea and put a thin layer of tea at the bottom of the infuser....it blossoms up almost to the top....
I cut a 7" round cup in thecenter of the pillow, about an 1-1 1/2 deep ( easy to do )
I've been buying griddles here and there wasting my money until I ran across this.
After years of hearing how necessary a stand mixer is we took the plunge.
Then we bought extra plates , because we'd fallen in love with them.
I had to put felt pads under the feet since the feet material made little black marks on my white corian type countertop.
The only problem is that the handles become lose and water gets in.
It's simple to put together, simple to use and not really bad to clean up.
One of the great features is that you can put something, like a plate, on the scale and then have that weight subtracted so you can measure only the weight of what is on the plate.
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).
you will not be able to "squeeze" the liquid out as you would with a traditional can opener.
Its cheap NEGATIVES1.
Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless , even if it's not high quality.
My attempts in the past have met with various degrees of results. Rice everywhere, halfway unrolled rolls spilling out innards like a cornucopia, rolls that were seemingly stable and then cut unraveling in unappealing ways.
The knife is sharp and angled correctly in order to engage and cut lids.
I needed a larger (4 cup) measuring cup in addition to my old 1 and 2-cup Pyrex cups, but this three-piece set was less expensive than 1 4-cup glass or Pyrex model.
The Lift and Lock Pole Caddy took less than 2 minutes to be installed in our shower.
I love that this unit is an Energy Star product , which conserves energy.
The office where I work has a "coffee club" which means for a set monthly price you get generic watered down coffee .
My husband and I bought a Keurig last month.
The size is great and for cold drinks it may be better.
Aint the global economy f'in' wonderful?!
so prevents prying little hands from taking out SHARP bladed portion , but is easy for the adult who knows where the lock is in back*templates for different cuts slip in effortlessly*the holder is nearly as slim as the mandolin it carries, with all the templates
The description is wrong in that it states it is 600/1200 watts.
This Breville BJE200XL is powerful and the RPM is way faster than my Jack Lalanne PJP Power Juicer Pro.
You don't need calphalon to heat chef boyardee or boil some rice .
Oh yes, and the top of the carafe doe snot come apart to clean.
I am delighted with this steam mop-It does a great job of swabbing my tile bathroom and linoleum kitchen floors-It makes copious amounts of steam...fast-It is easy to maneuver-It is easy to use-The pads are easy to take on and off-The built in, convertible hand steamer is an added plus.
When the lid is on correctly, the sides don't fold in .
Got these 18 months ago for a kitchen remodel, loved the look and price.
These glasses are just right if you want one glass for either white or red wine .
However it is much flimsier than I imagined from the photo.
Size-wise, they are about the same size as your standard plastic grocery bag and about as useful.
This is a real plus because you can push the shower curtain to the side and still see most of the beautiful photo of tulips on the shower curtain.
The rack should have some sort of non-skid feet .Jars were safely packed in small bubble wrap sleeves and all arrived intact, as are the lids (which are NOT chrome, and which we knew).
I wish this review was more positive , I really do.
I sent it back and am not taking a chance on another one of these .
Reheating will not only be simply, the small size prevents the food from becoming over-done and dry .
This is perfect for single batches or small batches only.
As is its likely a donate to Goodwill item, or something that I just throw in a cabinet and forget about for a year or two till I see it online again and hopefully remember I already have one and hated it.
I prefer my old time trays which keep the drinks just a cold as the larger cubes.
Great pans, if properly cared for, will live on long after you and I are gone!
Amazon needs to add a " zero " stars option or even a negative one, like black stars, because products like this are black holes that just suck in your money and give you nothing in return!
It has a nice non-skid bottom surface so it does not scratch or slide on my granite countertop.
it's also a little more stable and slim lined so less likely to be knocked off the fridge and broken like our last timer.
I'm not convinced that the pressure is strong enough to brew a decent cup.don't buy this... heck I'll sell you mine for a dollar :-)
It is also dishwasher safe on the top rack .
Be sure to note that it specifies you should not use oil sprays (like Pam) because of buildup, and also that the cover is good only to 450 degrees in the oven.
Most just say in the drawer till I clean out my kitchen and donate themI've also found many Oxo products to either be an amazing hit or a dud.
I chose a great rating for this product because they're inexpensive , lightweight and work just great with cotton candy.
I inspected the pieces of wood as I removed them from the box and noticed a split on the front piece to the left of the keyboard door.
This is the second time I've purchased one of these, the first was about 12 years ago.
This is the perfection solution to not only holding the roll, but of storing a few spares!I haven't had issue with mine falling over , but we also do not yank the paper with brute force either...
Our old coffee pot finally had it, it was leaking all over the place, the clock stopped working....
It is first and a excellent sandwich maker, but it can be used for other things, like frying bacon , warming sausage paddies, grilling hot dogs and making toast.
I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off .
This is the second Luna Pad that I have purchased for a 2 year old who is in a full size bed.
The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid .
The iron has a 30 second turn-off safety feature that activates when the iron is left on horizontally, and an 8 minute turn-off when the iron is left on vertically.
and I have no idea if it is normal or not, pots from my previous set are still good, pans however I am ready to throw out - so sticky they became and I am struggling to even do scrambled eggs, let alone frying some cutlets and anything with more cooking time.
I've been trying to find this type of corkscrew which potentially can last for years instead of breaking within months.
Recently I warched the movie "Iron Lady" where Meryll Streep portrays Margaret Thatcher .
This is the second LG vacuum I own, pushing my older one downstairs to be used in our finished basement.
I broke my sworn promise to only purchase U.S. manufactured products , but it does appear to be made much better than most things made in China.
Fruit and veggies seem to last forever.
The Bodum toaster is really easy to use, with just enough settings to give you exactly what you want, but not so many that you need a manual to figure it out.
Initial message said delivery estimate of 2-8 DEC , fantastic, then a revision the next day to show 1-7...superb, but it arrived yesterday, 29th - you folks really rock!
You need to watch the videos on Youtube.com before you purchase to make sure this is what you want.
I was looking for a kitchen timer that wasn't too loud.
My husband saw how my shoes got organized and wants one, and he figured that two will fit in my closet and still leave room for my long hanging stuff.
Easy to dump out the dirt.
Just sayin' -- be prepared and don't hold them upside down unless you want a lot of salt or pepper .The other glass ones I've had were cheaper and the salt eats through the finish on the lids.
It's higher quality than it needs to be
I am thrilled to report that they work just great for those purposes, and without any greasing or oiling required, but they have also served me well as fudge molds.
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.
You do not have to use a hose with the hand held vacuum sealer.
The vacuum they fit is a complete piece of junk, but if you insist on continuing to use it (or somehow it hasn't broken down on you yet), these bags are what you need.
I have a ton of shoes too and I'm going to put about 20 pairs of athletic type shoes in one side, boots, and thongs and sandals and put those on the floor too.
My mother-in-law sits on them in her favorite chair so we fold them over a little.
When it arrived, I was surprised to see that it is a little better quality than the ones I own that were sold under a different brand name - Mrs. Anderson's .
A good buy !
Rated this a 3 because I love the tiny pepper mill but the salt mill, leaves a lot to be desired.
I've only had it for a short while , but it seems to be very sturdy and I can imagine it holding up well over time.
I expect I'll be using this for other hot beverages too.
Oxo makes great tools for the kitchen, and we have a buch of them.
I can have one side up to dry one sweater or both sides up to dry 3 sweaters or put the sides down and slip clothing on just the bars or fold it very easily to store.
The extension part is a bit weak. I have it fully extended as I guess most people would like them.
I bought these simply to try and reduce the amount of disposables in my home.
Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless, even if it's not high quality.
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.
One other thing: the instructions don't really make it clear how the oil drainage process works .
OK, so I saw in the reviews and photos that some people were receiving a cheap knockoff version of this soap dish, with no slant and a suction cup on it.
Not a problem, I thought, I'll just buy something to keep the soap and hair from clogging the pipes .
I love this one, even without the cover that I'm still waiting for .
If you like your poached eggs very undercooked , this might be okay for you.
The base setting is actually pretty quiet, but the middle and upper settings are noisy - the trade off is that at these settings it moves A LOT of air, which is what you want if you're trying to quick cleanse a room.
The Pocket on the side is great for keeping all your detergents at hand especially if there are doors you have to open or even 3 flights of stairs in my case; great to have at least one hand free when walking.
Thank goodness for Amazon and it's reviewers, because I probably would never have purchased something that seems so 'gimmicky' by appearance.
Pretty great product, we're very pleased .
Cleans just fine and the color choices are good, got the Vanilla and the Red one.
I watched the video that was submitted by a purchases/user which convinced me to buy this opener.
I love Duralex dishes and bowls for their sturdiness and clean good looks, so that's where I went looking when I wanted to get a set of extra bowls for cereal, desserts, snacks , and so on.
I did not expect to take so much time putting them together!!! Seriously it took two people to do it .
Don't for a second, though, forget how important it is to have a good spoon : comfortable, easy to use for stirring, useful in a cooking pot or saute pan, durable, easy to clean.
I do not consider it a true Belgian style waffle but it is deeper than a traditional waffle - for my preferences this is perfect.
Easy to use, easy to assemble, easy to push and oh, wow, the pick up of dirt and dog hair.
Later I was able to get the connectors out of the poles without damage using pliers so could have assembled the rack with the original parts, but I found a use for the extra pole and appreciate that Whitmor replaced the parts without charge.
Does not even need washing !
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.
This pillow case is very soft and cool to touch, at least for several hours at a time...was looking for the coolest pillow case I could find, and this tops all of them thus far....fits my standard size pillow, but will "turn" on pillow sometimes as I toss and turn, which happens to most cases I use....could do without the frilly floral design, but that might appeal to some....I'd like to see this pillow in solid color and King size as well.
Another great attribute of this mug is that it does not sweat , so your desk stays dry if you're using it at work.
While they do seem to hold a good amount of stuff, it seems unlikely you'll hit the 25-lb weight limit unless you're lugging home bags of canned goods--so you're probably safe there.
The 16" diameter is great for big cabinets .
In my personal opinion, if you're going to splurge and get one of these, go with a more expensive brand .
Of course I use it to fill my Ball jars even though I am more likely freezing the contents than canning them.
I am now ready to stop bringing my bulky, fuzzy green queen-sized comforter (a major eyesore) into the living room to keep off the chill.
There are enough larger ones for my family of 5 and I use the tiny ones all the time for storing things like cinnamon-sugar, peanut butter for lunches, leftover toppings for meals like Hawaiian haystacks, etc etc.
The navigation works great, took about 3 minutes for the mint to sync with the north star navigation unit.
I had a older version of this product; this one offers even better results !
This jar opener would be a perfect solution for the elderly and others who have weak hands or an injury.
The sides are pretty sloped .
My only quibble is the handle is so slick it's hard to hold and sip from without having a death grip on it.
This toaster is really big , but looks nice on the counter and I have had complements on it.
I was so excited to upgrade from the KCup system to the Vue , but that's where it ends.
For large rooms (like our open floor plan living / dining kitchen) you should definitely use the included virtual wall .
Each piece has a dotted pattern that runs up the handle , terminating at the head of the utensil.
I've used it for cookies, biscuits, sticky marinated meats , and everything has cooked perfectly, come off easy, and clean up was a snap!
Granted, this was about 10 years ago .
I've had other hand mixers (wedding gifts) but none of them compared to the KitchenAid one.
The only reason food will boil over is if you overfill it or you use too much water .
I haven't used the vegetable steamer yet, only the rice cooker, so my review is only for the rice cooker portion .
Wife bought this a long time ago .I still not sure about the usefulness of this thing.
The aerated wine tasted even better.
It has a fat handle that gives your hand good leverage when using the single tooth to get long fat strips of lemon zest.
This wastes a lot of kernels, but the kernels are super cheap, and I didn't want an air-popper that plugs in, takes up space, and needs constant monitoring*.The bottom of this bowl has some brown spots where kernels burnt a bit (rare, but it happens.
The front leg has a button you push to collapse it
The plastic is so thin it flexes at the slightest touch , which created the following sequence: Try and put the top on the base and first one side of the base pops out, get that side in and the back pops out, get the back in and the other side pops out , get the base all lined up and on and the float rod isn't lined up with the switch, take the top off and start all over again, continue ad nauseam...
The best thing about it is the height, with small children in the house it is high enough that we don't worry about them touching the TV, yet still a very comfortable viewing height.
Can't live without my food saver, bags and jar sealers now!
I hated dragging the cutting board over to the pan to scrape off diced veggies.
no filters no mess , I cheat on my Tassimo with this one and for me the coffee I choice taste better , it is so much cheaper so I am keeping it , love the design and overall presentation and the price is nice also , I tried to make also tea and worked well and for sure I am not going back to regular coffee maker again that's for sure ..
It heats up pretty quick and brings the water to a boil after 5-7 minutes.
I like to puree up whatever sweet fruits are in season and make pops out of them.
The pack stays frozen for a few hours; I left it on the coffee table for a few hours and when I came back it was still mostly solid and still cold...
I like to make a beef stew but with all the vegetables I use it can come out a bit watery, even without adding water.
If you work in the medical industry and are that guy/girl in the office and you make yourself laugh harder than most interaction with other living things you have already purchased this mug and are only looking at prior purchases on Amazon to make yourself feel better about all the money you spent since you signed up for Prime and went on a binge of cheap crap you would never pay for in the store but since you saw it here for a few bucks ...hey, why not?
My bride ordered this for one of our daughters as a kitchen necessity and that is what it is.
Pros:Can be used with no powerThe price is rightEasy clean upCons: Grind consistency is lacking.
I can now change my cloth tablecloths to match the seasons and can protect them with this plastic tablecloth .
The CDN DTQ450 has a wide temperature range, responds quickly, has a "temp hold" feature (lacking on the Thermapen), and has large easy to read numbers.
my main compliants are: regular coffee is terrible, not a lot of variety of coffee, and no organic coffee, so far .
I've been doing this since July of last year (so 7 months now) and I've not had any problems with the bottle.
The 10 piece set will accommodate pretty much anyone.
and although I have a huge walk in closet, I also have a lot of clothes and shoes .
And dishwasher safe too!
It cuts the top under the lip of your cans so there are never any sharp edges to cut yourself on and it also prevents drips so no cleanup required .
The zippers are just a little bit.......not really hard to close, but you do have to take a second or two to get them to slide around.
One last note: of the things I've made, it usually takes 10-15 mins .
While I love a lot of OXO products, I this this one is pretty mediocre .
It is extremely sturdy and heavy for its size, and is just a very high-quality piece of equipment that can be used for all sorts of things -- soups, purees, spaetzle, squeezing moisture out of wilted greens , etc.
However, as we often have both of us and our two teenage boys all in the kitchen at the same time during a meal prep, we have found several uses for it.
This grinder is very easy to use and hold, as the video demonstrates.
Thicker dowels, half inch diameter for heavy duty.3.
I had read every review on all Mattress Toppers in the $25-$50 price range which Amazon carries (for full size mattresses) before ordering the Carpenter 5-Zone.
I received this as a gift from my husband when we were dating due to an inside joke.
While it may sound silly, the black rubber in the middle really does improve grip substantially.
Finally, one less thing to complain about and now our conversations can move onto the more important things like - pens .
Everything I tried (cable ties, loops that have double stick tape to attach the baseboards, etc.) has failed miserably.
a Cuisinart and I have this lovely, versatile Japanese model.....
I returned only the two broken tiles in the original box and kept the four good ones... then I received another shipment of 6 tiles... which had 3 broken tiles in it.
I love heated plates and the top surface doubles as a plate warmer .
This often resulted in badly cut slices for 3/4 of my loaf .
You need to know that iRobot corp .
Who would ever think that two little tiny stripes of color would make a white towel look so darn elegant?
I have in the past had bag-less vacuums and wasn't looking forward to having a bag again.
I don't have a clue if it works for an hour , like the package stated.
This vacuum maintains its power and suction practically the life of the battery .
My last pot was Black & Decker , which by the way, was also an excellent pot.
I purchased this vacuum as we had moved house and our old vacuum had breathed it last the day we moved out .
We frequently use the juicer attachment .
I would say that it sticks out a total of about 5 inches so it will hit the wall long before the door will hit the doorstop.
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.
But that isn't the only thing I use it for - this evening I quickly reduced a slow-cooked (8 hours) eye of round into wonderful thin slices for making roast beef sandwiches.
I saw fans just like this (same brand name, same look) at the cheap big lots near me, but I went to amazon and spent a little more because this seemed to have good reviews, and I figured it was worth it to get better quality.
Bought this in 2009 , have used at least 2-3 times a week, now switched to using it all the time.
I own a Wusthof 7-Piece knife block set and I've tried other sharpeners, which did a fair job, but decided to spend the money for a Wusthof sharpener because I thought that it was made for sharpening Wusthof knives .I was wrong.
The no-skid bottom is absolutely fantastic and keeps the bowl put for heavy stirring or using a hand mixer.
The main reasons I bought this fryer was for the cleaning aspect (everything goes in the dishwasher) and the oil filter/storage feature.
I ordered 3 of these .
But it's perfect for my use which is homemade ice cream .It's a bummer that it's not (completely) microwave safe - still looking for a BHA-free solution for this.
It is also delightful to have a bagged vacuum again that allows me to vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag , unlike the Dyson which had to be emptied three times for one cleaning.
Now that I have the lid I can cook ground beef, and onions, for a Shepherd's pie .
I do like the nesting capability and the non-stick feet .
One downside - the On/Off/Tare button; within 48 hours, the ink used to label the button has WORN OFF! The functionality of the scale has NOT been impacted, and I know its the on off button (theres only 2 buttons on the whole machine) but still, I was surprised the ink faded so quickly...
Other positives:* soft quiet sound very easy to sleep with* elegant and practical handle* oscillates to spread the heat around a little (cute little R2D2)* small footprint but stableI use the heater in a 10 x 10 room.
After using it for a year , my opinion is beginning to change.
First it does the very basic of what it should- keep food from splattering everywhere .
As they say, this one is single walled, so not much on the thermal insulation.
Perfect one serving size .
After reading the instructions that say to let the tray stand 2 min and not fill past 3/4, the tray probably works well.
No question on the fully earned five stars rating.
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.
The description doesn't tell you, so I don't know if they still send it: The container comes with a strainer and a clip for it .
I'd recommend this for anyone with a stainless steel sink who wants a simple holder that is small and unobstrusive .
The bottom piece impresses a dimple into the burgers, so they cook more evenly and don't puff up in the middle.
Okay, I was in a hurry and I didn't quite get exactly what the reviewers meant when they said it was curved.
I bought this one for my daughter as a wedding gift.
I love the pop up lid and the flow of liquids from the opening is wonderful.
Cons:--The smaller size is still a bit large for limes --I think it requires a little more "elbow muscle" than other juicers, because the reamer is plastic.
I want a durable pan that LASTS.
By that point we were willing to settle for showers until we discovered the OXO Good Grips Tub Stopper, which relies on gravity and suction to simply fit flatly and snugly in any sized drain.
OXO GG Press Sure Corner Caddy This thing is magic!
Bring to a boil and cook unti l a knife is easliy inserted into each potato .
It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee ).
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this coffee press, and tha fact that it won't EVER require a replacement glass insert is the BEST.The coffee is delicious and not bitter , which is why I purchased a French press in the first place, but for clumsy ol' me, this is a godsend.
The cooking time is about the same as a microwave , and the clean up is pretty quick.
I ordered these to complement 16 Piece Pure White Ribbed Porcelain Dinnerware Set , I intended to use these a tea mugs.
Buy the adapter that goes with it.
I needed something portable to take on camping trips or picnics .
Totally worth the investment and with Prime, the free shipping is great!
I initially had a hard time getting a good and consistant cup of coffee from the EZ cup .
I really wanted to eliminate the waste of the K cups and I really wanted a good cup of coffee at the same time.
Second one was an even bigger disaster though because the hole was not big enough to get my hand down inside and white stuff started to appear in the water.
Pros:+ very powerful and works well on hard wood floors.+ Setting below low carpet makes bare floors easy+ nice accessoriesCons:- older model had power button this has a switch half way down the body in the back behind a door next to a leopard.- no auto retracting cord (Previous model had it)Overall its a really good vacuum with a high bang for the buck value.
One small issue is that if you lose power this heater will not automatically turn back on when power is restored. If you are away for the weekend and get a power spike you should expect whatever area was dependant on the heater will be quite cold.
Even if you're not old enough to remember Joe DiMaggio pitching for Mr. Coffee, you can appreciate the gold standard of "regular" coffee makers.
Although it's narrow opening at the top is meant to hang on the shower head pipe I hang it over the shower handle so it is not visible outside of the shower when shower door is closed.
Grip tape may be in order.
I want to get one for my grandmother who struggles to operate any handheld kitchen gadgets .
We received our machine a couple of weeks ago and we have really enjoyed it .
I had been using a Juiceman Jr .
The holding tanks are somewhat mismatched , because you have to empty the dirty water tank before the cleaner solution tank goes dry, however, this is a very minor issue.
Compact, quiet, nice color, OK Ionizor, remote, easy to useCONS: blow power on high setting is weaker than my old fan on low setting, doesn't move air around as adequately as I'd hoped in a small room (direct air is satisfying at best), blue/green light is too bright at night (had to stick tape over my lights to dull the glow.
We bought this when our first child learned to crawl and we had to clean crumbs, etc off the floor before she ate them.
Just out of curiosity I tested the strength by starting to sit on it , and it felt like it would collapse or break before all my weight was on it.
If your heavier than 200lbs I would recommend a 10 inch or thicker mattress .
Nothing sticks and everything on the sheet is exactly the same every time.
A thoughtfully designed unit - they even include a plastic button cover for highly spill prone uses or users .
I looked up Melamine and found this warning:"Melamine is described as being "Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
This thing is small but cuts quickly and easily!
A bit pricey, but well worth it for the amount of money I will save cooking shabu at home .The
I purchased this grinder last June .
It is very easy to clean as it's nonstick , but it doesnt come apart.
These refills do the same job that the original pack did, and the room feel and smells much better now .Guess we will have to figure out why the issue occurs (maybe need to replace the 13 year old windows seals?), but until then these do the job.
Just hand wash (and if you have hard water dry with a cloth right away )
All the coffee snob websites (yes, I'm a coffee snob) say that burr grinding is the way to go because blade grinders heat the beans while grinding and this affects the taste .
Just be sure to check the dimensions to make sure it fits in your drawers !
Every since I was a little kid, I can always remember seeing and hearing my mother using an Oster to make incredible things to drink and for other uses in the kitchen.
Yes, it will age, discolour, and faded numbers become a little more difficult to read over time as it frequently subjected to high heat.
I have used a lot of similar products in the past and have always been disappointed .
Since I purchased this item at Costco I was glad to not have to receive this item in the mail, only to have to pay for return shipping.
The waterproof protector gets washed with the towels each time - we have 2 twin size protectors that we alternate.
The best part (and primary reason for us choosing FiestaWare ) is that it's made in the US so no "made in China" crap.
This is a knock-off of the original Osterizer part.
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.
Then the black base catches little bits of cheese and needs to be removed in order to thoroughly clean everything (and it's not as easy to pull that little black piece off as it might sound).
I clean mine occasionally out side with compressed air to get all the dog stink out of the filter housings .
The knife is extremely sharp.
The nuts don't grind evenly .
The scoop is easy to handle, easy to use, easy to clean and does just what it should - scoop & release cookie dough or (probably) meat balls , etc. Haven't tried anything but dough so far.
If even a little bit of coffee overflows the filter it is certain to clog the carafe and once again, counters and floors are running over with coffee.
Like this breakfast pancake .
I am happy to report that I received the desk in perfect new condition, with no dings or scratches .
I think the ceramic helps offer tea water with no metallic taste.
CONS:- very difficult to cut , especially because of the ridges- IMPOSSIBLE to clean, because of the ridges- small items are unbalanced on top of the surface because of the ridges (the ridges are definitely a negative theme here!)- hard to lay fully flat, too stiffI do not recommend.
My wife likes the remote wand to do the steps and the attachments for furniture are perfect for the kids couch and play areas.
At about 2 inches thick and made into squares to keep the materials from shifting too much its pretty nice, especially considering the cost.
(unlike some of my friends who bemoan their experiences with other brands) I have been told also by other friends that the Breville brand is much more reliable and that the customer service and warranty are very good.
I have also used this for putting a hot pan on, and it worked great.
I also have one unfortunate looking squished ice ball because something was pushing on it in the freezer, but other than that, they look great !
Leggett and Platt are not very helpful.
The motor is powerful - can get loud , too, but it's well worth it when you drink the results.
There are no bolts or wood like in the Kyocera so this product should last longer in the handle area.
Last week, we even purchased a second SuperSteam for our vacation house .
We use this one to dry cloth diapers inside or to dry delicates .
However, just to see how well the container held heat, I did heat at home first a few times, and I was impressed with its performance .
Helps organize a good amount plates( about 12-14per shelf ).
As for durability, I used it very frequently and without incident for 15 months .
The matte finish is very nice.
When it slips out , its usefulness is over.
The lightweight, double-walled borosilicate glass mug keeps your tea warm, while the included tea bag buddy makes squeezing the bag much less uncomfortable (no more burning fingers ) and gives you a place to put it for the time being.
I have to unfortunately run it through the perimeter of my living room so even though the cable management is great I still have noticeable cables around.
You could easily brew two beers at once, 1 in the carboy and the other in the plastic bucket.
The only other reason it lost the one star is you have to be careful rejoining the two pieces as to not ruin the seal .
These Tortilla Bowl Makers are a Great and Healthier alternative to Frying Tortillas by Baking them in the Oven , I use Whole Wheat Tortillas and they look Terrific, sometimes I brushed them with Different Flavored Oils for a Better Tasting and Crispy Tortilla.
They're both leakproof, but another big advantage to the stainless steel for me is that it doesn't absorbe taste or odors like the plastic will.
Large enough for me to serve 8 guests.2) Plastic so it can sit outside on the tile patio, and if it drops, there wouldn't be glass shards everywhere.3)
I will leave the fan in the window for the entire season so I will not have to struggle with the side panels again until it is time to remove it.
I love it so much that I bought two more for my family members .
Comfy soft, non-skid bottom and very absorbent .
Love that my roomie and I know whether or not to run the dishwasher.
It grinds smooth and quiet (unlike an electric grinder in early morning hours).
I have a standard King/Queen frame I have to use my box spring from my old mattress to support the new Memory Foam mattress, but it works well.
This is my second winco chinese cleaver.
I have a Keurig for every day and am growing fond of it, but sometimes, I just need the satisfaction of something slower , more relaxing, more hands-on.
It brews pretty quickly and holds a hot pot for a couple of hours.
I had no problems assembling the first two and assembly time went down significantly on the second one.
This ricer really aims the riced items downward into the bowl, which I appreciate.
The first batch yielded a simple, yet satisfying Cowboy Lager .
I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars.
The perforated surface is a double edged sword, but attractive nonetheless.
We use it every day and care for it per Cuisinart's instructions. I'm nursing a 3 month old baby, and I can't be eating teflon unknowlingly.
Just throw the bowl and the paddle in the dishwasher .
Our electric company offers a rebate on Energy Star products, be sure and check with yours.
This paper towel holder is perfect and works exactly how you've always wanted your paper towel holders to work.
The press itself is perfect for garlic .
If you stay put while you sleep, get this!
I'd much rather be able to capture the taste at home of some of the county fair kettle morns, but until I can invest in a machine and purchase the supplies of those vendors, this will have to do -- really, one can't complain much about four stars .
So, I opted for the Stainless steel Electric pot and sure enough, it is just as great as my other Breville.
It was even louder - the clicks could be heard in the next room over!
Quick, sleek, responsive .
Maybe the one thing I don't like about it is the really smooth bottom that makes it hard to keep it straight on my crappy coil stove .
I had no trouble with holding down the button as some previous reviewers complain about.
While it will likely do the job, if any stress is placed upon it, it will probably rip, as it is also quite thin .
We purchased two of these sets to replace some outdated dinner pieces that we had in our cabinetry.
It's simple, classy actually, and even comes with a bow - all you need is to sign it.
We also use this scale to weigh our mail so we know how much postage to put on it.
It smells like burned rubber .
However, based on other internet research it appeared to be the right beater for my mixer (K5AWW, which is a 5qt model with the bowl lift, not a tilt head model).
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.
Finally, it has a nice finish that goes well with the rest of our stainless steel appliances.
We have an entire set of All-Clad , and need to add a couple more pieces.
I got the red roaster to replace an overpriced, overrated calphalon roaster I had.
The only thing missing is a hole in the black handle in case you want to hang it inside a cupboard.
They could be used to serve bread, but, in my opinion, they are not fancy enough for that.
The ice comes out looking like legos, but what I don't like is that the tray is very flimsy silicone.
When I saw the reconditioned one here from Amazon I took a chance because I know Amazon's return policy is excellent.
For years I have seen this product in stores.
I recently acquired the Lodge Double Dutch 5 qt. dutch oven and fell in love with cast iron.
I have had a similar one for many years & one of my children mentioned that she'd like to try & find one of these for herself, so when I saw them on Amazon I couldn't resist.
My complaints relate to the handle: First it is too short so you can't get a proper grip and second it gets hot enough to burn you (unlike stainless).
Although it purports to make six cups, in fact, it makes about a large mug and a half - just enough.
The wheels are good and sturdy as well.
The fact that Eva-dry is renewable is touted as an advantage, however, it is a nuisance for those who live in small apartments , like me.
I returned the item since it is unreliable and the customer service was not the best.
The problem is that the container is VERY hot after steaming .
The Enclume racks are larger but 3x the price .
I just sprayed a little PAM in the pan and lid for for greasing.
We tried on the carpet on our second floor but found that it did not clean well at all.
Any cutting board I can throw in the dishwasher has a piece of my heart.
It has very soft sides, so you will have to package your food in a durable container to prevent it from being crushed .One nice this is that this is made from neoprene and is easy to clean.
I've been playing with the course setting for days and days and cannot get a consistently sized grind for my French Press.
The dough button kneads bread to perfection in 30-40 seconds .
This is a well constructed, easy to assemble, nice looking TV stand.
I compared the two and the old scale was off by whole ounces .
The ability to switch between regular coffee and kcups is just awesome!
It is powerful enough to cool one person on either of the two available settings, and it's nice and quiet.
I haven't had a bad loaf yet!I did get another breadmaker cookbook to go with it.
One issue with this scale, as with others we have tried, is that moving the scale to different areas on our bathroom floor causes the weight to change.
Neither particularly bothers me, as I primarily use it for PC gaming , but there are a lot of high-quality chairs out there that offer a recline option and arms for around the same price.
I think that the 5-" bowls would be a more appropriate size for cereal and ice cream.
(The baster I had been using must be about 25 years old, so I guess I never realized what I was missing.)
Considering that most high quality decanters come without stoppers, this simple object should be essential for most wine lovers .
Rubbermaid White Spatula 9 1/2"I have found that they do not pick up color, at least not with my pasta sauce or food coloring when baking; nor do the heads pick up any odor, especially when working with pasta sauce and garlic.
As was the experience with several other reviewers, the two center slices toast very unevenly--no matter what the setting or the kind of bread.
I loved the 20 oz. mug so much, I decided to try this 24 oz. small vented casserole .
I just got the Amico and took it for a quick spin today.
I run it almost 24/7 because I can never remember to turn it off after I get done leaving my valuable opinion on Amazon about the products I buy late at night in a stupor of despair and self pity.
However it does superbly with loose tea .
On top of that my husband wanted black sheets.
Like my 20 year old one, the numbers are quite clear and the lines are easy to see .
It was cheap enough so I bought it online from walmart for $99 plus shipping since this model is only avalible online.
This t-fal seems to be sturdy with all the features I want as for adjusting the heat and steam and with the added protection of the nonstick bottom which lets the iron even at its hottest just glide over the fabric (you do need to use only low heat on many synthetics though) .It is a good iron for the fabric worker and homemaker and others using materials/fabric, such as cotton, rayon, some silks on low etc. that may sometimes need some heat and pressure.
You can scoop out the last bit of yougurt in the container , get the last of the soup from the can or clean out the saucepan.
This is the third Hippo Digital scale I have purchased in the past year, one for me and two for presents for others.
But, every latte was horribly weak - problem is the steam wand .
A remote that works out of the box would also be helpful! Heat varies according to space requirements.
My husband and I worked on putting it together for a couple of hours the day it arrived and my husband ended up finishing it the next day while I was at work.
The smell took a while to get used to, also.
You will have to plan your meals to put the longer cooking item on the bottom .
Impossible to get them evenly cooked .
If you oven bake a chicken breast, for example, it takes 30-45 minutes .George
First, set is very attractive in appearance (would make a great gift for the bride to be).
I did not however purchase the NB-900 thru Amazon because I wanted to be able to return it to my local box store in case the bad reviews proved true for me too.
Now I can pressure cook with confidence and convenience. I've done pea soup in 15 minutes that turned out great.
But the zipper on this Harold's Pie Crust Maker is a better quality and is sewn in more neatly, making a perfect circle (as compared to the sloppy, irregular circle on my Mrs. Anderson's).
Alarm is mild, wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise.
I just received my Pinzon throw today.
The cord is a tad short, but think this was designed so that the unit was used close to the counter top back wall (where most electrical outlets are) and to keep curious children at bay.
I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid-thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done.
The retractable nozzle keeps you from storing attachments.
I have used this for many years and my friend who owns a local cafe and is a connoisseur (which I am not) tells me that it is known to be better than the less expensive espresso machines and to get as good a cup of coffee I would have to get a very expensive (like 1000$ ) espresso coffee maker.
These trash cans are the perfect size for rooms with less garbage can usage, like the bathroom, bedroom, or your desk .
The Siwvel Sweeper G2 is a handy little dvice to have around - it's great at picking up crumbs, dog food, broken glass and dust - the ony thing I would say is that I have a large dog and I have to keep cleaning the brushes because the hair winds around the brushes - but for quick pick ups it's fantastic.
Consider the uses you intend to put it to before purchasing and check the one- and two-star reviews .
I purchased this after my daughter moved out .
On the plus side, the cups are just fine and the lids do fit and don't leak.
I thought the raised portions in the pan would make it nearly impossible to clean, but I was wrong - they clean up like a dream (I hand wash them).
The only drawback to this and other silicone mats is that you cannot cut on it .
but it was just too much hastle to return .
I bought the Dolce Gusto Piccolo after using my sister's when staying at her house.
The price is fantastic and it does a great job.
They handle the dishwasher just fine.
Have had it for about 2 months now and no problems.
Soooo cheaply made and not worth it.
Both ice mold cracked at bottom within a few weeks .
I bought the Dirt Devil Breeze years ago and it is still running.
it looks nice on my counter but a couple of notes here: first of all the lever to make toast is a little fussy, must make sure it goes all the way to the bottom and catches.
The machine works very well and is very easy to program for the different types of breads .
My RO is BareWater system.
That means that when you lay it flat on it's back, the stirring end sticks up into the air at about a 25 degree angle.
I read everything about this in the reviews before I made this purchase, When it arrived all the instructions were followed and we put it together.
All in all I am pleased with this and expect to get good use out of this, or at least until I get tired of the pattern . :0)
Since this unit isn't as powerful as full size microwaves it takes a little longer to do some jobs, but the space saving design is perfect for offices, dorms, or any other small spaces where a full size microwave isn't possible.
I had both a regular upright vacuum and a tiny little stick vac, this does the job of both and is very light to carry up and down the stairs.
Lighter would be great but under $100 what do you expect.
It fits slightly smaller than the bed mattress
This grill is considerably lighter in weight than my old grills as well as less expensive.
It recently started making sparks when I heat up the water, so I figured it's time for a new one.
My husband had us turn off our furnace air filter and remove the ionizing coils , and just replace the coils with a cardboard filter.
(I had marinated some shrimp and the marinade ended up in the ice compartment.)
When I received this set, I was surprised to learn that the manufacturer does not recommend using them on ceramic or glass top stoves .
it looks nice on my counter but a couple of notes here: first of all the lever to make toast is a little fussy , must make sure it goes all the way to the bottom and catches.
And Braun is one of the best brands out there.
Not all 100% cotton products stay soft, but these have so far.
Otherwise, I discovered that putting the mixture in too soon will cause the dispenser to dispense more of a splatter (water still separated from the soap) onto my hand.
After only two months, the sheet has split in the middle right along the fold. This means that it's OK for cookies, but if I want to roast potatoes on it and smear it with olive oil, it's going to leave a mess in my pan.
This press fits my 10 1/2 " cast iron skillets PERFECTLY.I am a loyal Amazon customer, I love their return policy and their customer service.
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 major measurements such as 1 cup is larger and thicker but the smaller ones, in red , disappoint.
It cooks the oats in three to four hours on low.
When I first got this coffee maker I knew it had the features I was wanting.
Then you can slip the top leg half in by tilting the top end inwards and sliding onto the top rivet then straightening.
I bought both the Bambu Kitchen Fork and the Cephalon Nylon Fork a year ago, both for use with non-stick kitchen pans.
So far I have dried peaches, apples and cherries and made beef jerky.
In the same price range you can find (for example)this Cuisinart set, or if you really need non-stick in the essential pans, thisFarberware Classic Stainless Steel 17 -Piece Cookware Set.
I tried to use it to cover all of the shelves and drawers in my kitchen and thought it was not very good quality, difficult to cut, and impossible to clean.
Also, the glue wears off of the cork pretty fast.
The only strange thing is that it can never seem to settle on a weight. I understand that as you move your weight fluctuates by a few 10ths of a pound.
I have since bought a brand at Bed Bath and Beyond that has a much more solid feeling thick toggle in the center, and 1+ years with no problems.
We've only had them for a few weeks but use them very regularly and so far they're great!
Since its just the two of us
I did not want one of those touch-less kind that seem to quit working quickly and use batteries.
It also has two hooks on it so I can hang it on my wire shelves in my laundry area when not in use.
I suppose it will save on having to start your oven, and the muffins do cook faster and cleanup is quicker .
I haven't had any problem with any coffee regarding whether it was coarsely ground or fine .Overall, really glad I bought this!
Or the k cups that most of those more expensive makers use.
At the start, they were suppossed to be temporary .Then we bought extra plates, because we'd fallen in love with them.
King Size SafeRest Premium Hypoallergenic Waterproof Mattress Protector - Vinyl Free does what it should.
Pretty much the same, except the Trader Joes Organic was tougher and more chewy.
I had purchased a memory foam mattress from Amazon about 4 years ago and it was perfect - and comfortable.
We've been using ours in the dishwasher for the past 2 months, and there have been no ill effects.
Over a year later and they have NOT replaced my dispenser , but they sent me coupons for more filters!
This way, I don't have to clean out the press after each crush , and the skin on one at the end makes it easier to clean out because the skin sort of "pulls out" the garlic bits.
It's lightweight and easy to move around from room to room if you need to.
I travelled for two hours and had to wait in a hot car for about twenty minutes .
They stand by their products are their customer support is awesome .
It locks closed and seems sturdy .
I do know that I love that I can refill my cylinders locally at a sporting goods store and some beverage centers as well, unlike Soda Stream which aren't compatible with the systems the previous mentioned venues offer, or you need to be a chemist to try and refill yourself !
I have never had a problem with the acidity of coffee, and when I tried cold-brewed, it was the bland taste that lacked all the complex flavor notes that drove me away.
so you can fit ice cubes in.6) Sized to fit a car cup holder.
I brew a two-cup thermal mug of coffee every day of the week and sometimes twice on Sunday, and so I use a #2 filter every day, or even more.
There is a plastic leg that goes in the middle of the base that sticks out slightly more than the other legs...hopefully this was just ours since we were able to easily spin the TV stand.
So I immediately purchased both the Memo center and the separate pencil cup .
The 4-1/2 quart size is perfect for our small household, perfect for use as a Dutch Oven , and a true Best Buy in the Creuset line.
Even goo gone will not take away the glue covered surfaces top and bottom.
OK, this is where I am going to mushy & gushy over a mundane household product...a laundry rack .
I saw fans just like this (same brand name, same look) at the cheap big lots near me , but I went to amazon and spent a little more because this seemed to have good reviews, and I figured it was worth it to get better quality.
It was fairly easy to put together ( a pair of pliers helped).
These were a gift .
This press is stylish enough to leave out on my cooktop and keeps my coffee hot for at least an hour.
I am glad I bought the Freshware brand, as the pan is of very good quality (and I know my silicone bakeware), but was of the lowest price for this type of design (rose).Follow the instructions to oil the pans before first use, and you won't have any sticking issues thereafter, even without greasing.
This pan is fundamentally different .In fact, my problem with this pan is that it looks too good.
Also, there is no lip between the handle and the spoon, so you can easily "sweep" a measurement of a dry ingredient flat.
The long story short, very nice shelves, nice finish on them, sturdy, well made, solid wood (ya baby) and works perfectly for my needs.
We also like the retractable cord feature.
I am very happy with this purchase!
As I have an agitator washing machine, I really appreciate bagging bras and other items that used to tangle brutally in the wash, sometimes strangling other stuff into deep wrinkles that needed an iron to get out .
I've found than for stews it helps to cut up potatoes and carrots and microwave them in a little water for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on size) before adding to the pot and for delicate items such as peas to add shortly before serving .
It's easy to empty and does a great job on the dog hair.
I was also having a problem with my #4 filters when making 8 cups in my Gevalia, made by Cuisinart, 12 cup machine.
It is made to look that way. So if you like the worn out in spots, faded look, this is the quilt for you, like a nice pair of worn out jeans.
The cookie cutters are dull and aren't straight up and down, are sloped inward as you cut, not sure why.
One drawer sits a little high and requires some force to get it in, but it's not the end of the world.
The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid.
Warm up time is usually like 10 mins , but it keeps heat and pressure consistent thereafter, even with continual trigger.
The glass bottom feature is great...no mess trying to separate the cake from the bottom in order to serve.
i cook a lot of indian food, and many recipes call for pureeing various spices, chilis, and other vegetables into a paste.
I will always have my Hamilton Brew Station for my morning coffee
In early use I have heard zero transformer noise .Either pad will save energy.
I was pretty disappointed in them SO I went back on Amazon and looked for something better for dishes.
The cord does not stretch out straight enough so you have to contend with the cord curling .I
My aunt has the more expensive Keurig and I tried her brewer and it is NO BETTER than this one.
It leans to a side. I wouldn't return them!
Well, she had it on the lowest setting
Important tip to note: Stick the metal tip into item , let it sit for a couple of seconds and then turn on the thermometer.
This Breville BJE200XL is powerful and the RPM is way faster than my Jack Lalanne PJP Power Juicer Pro .
A good baking tool makes the process much simpler and this baking aid from Freshware is certainly one to consider buying.
If I had started with this one, I'd have two of these (one for each place )
Plus, they contain sugar .
the price is good for 6 fairly good-sized dish towels, but not because you expect them to be something special.
I don't use a lot, so the half liter works .I will also be getting the 1 liter as I like it so much.
In a room that already looked fairly well vacuumed, the amount this Bissell picked up was crazy!
I like the shape of the scoop itself, it's a little sharper and flatter and really does a nice job digging into the ice cream.
The brush motor is quite powerful 
I was afraid the handles would break when I squeeze them hard.
The measurements were 13-1/2"W x 36"H x 12"D , not even as big as this one.
With the open bottom and black and silver.
I had a single bag wooden rolling laundry cart which I absolutely adored.
It's stainless inside so no worries about a glass liner breaking.
I know $100.00 is not much for a good machine, but I still think that's alot of money and now also a big waste of my time.
We have not regretted this purchase one bit, and are continually impressed by it's design and ease of use.
I like its simple rectangular shape with rounded corners , and it's big enough to hold very large bars of soap.
I called Honeywell to get clarification on their fans and was forwarded to the actual company who makes the fans.
The pitfalls of shopping on Amazon I guess.
It does a good job and I've not experienced the problem others have described ie the motor shutting down for a 'mandatory' cooling off period. That said, the 'static-free' glass container is a bit of a laugh.
Loop Belts stay on it well 2.
The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so.
These big green bags made it clear to everyone that this is where you put bottles and cans.
I almost sent it back, then read the instructions to warm it under warm water .
Thank you so much Amazon.com for the great price, good value and prompt delivery.
I have many large dogs and one occasionally puts a paw or two on the bed in the morning and one will sneak into it if given the opportunity.
I've tried the traditional wood , the one offered by Epicurian and this one.
She also mentioned to me that since these don't have any obvious Christmas designs on them they can be used not just at the holidays but all winter long.
I eventually got a Green Earth Wok by Ozeri .
The item came in no time flat and it's been a wonderful addition to our tiny kitchen
If you season them properly per the instructions included, they are indeed nonstick and very scratch resistent .
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.
As soon as I blotted up the moisture , I could see the dark from the spot on the blotting towel.
Overall, really glad I bought this! I can buy just plain coffee grounds or any of the flavored ground coffees available and brew in my Keurig which is much cheaper!
Wonder if it's a European model, as the instructions come in several languages.
Everything was okay, except for the heating/warming bulb which was broken off in the base.
It makes it a more multi -functional product for sure; however, I think it might slightly compromise the dough-scrapping-from-counter flagship role.
There is very little suction both before it clogs and after clearing a clog .
This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it .
It was oddly difficult to find one of these in a physical store - I looked at Walmart and at Bed Bath and Beyond but I couldn't find a big one.
The automatic lid works as promised (although I'm not sure if the manufacturer's representation about how long this product will last based on how many times the automatic lid will open on average in a given day makes a whole lot of sense; on average, my trash can's lid opens and closes dozens of times a day).The body of the can feels a bit thin, so throwing in a heavy item right after changing the bag may eventually cause dents in the can.
Also, I'm generally a fan of cast iron, but even when oiled, the batter stuck to the divots which were really annoying to clean.
I use these pretty much daily now and haven't even touched the extra liter bottles I got yet and it's been three months .
I do love the look of this utensil holder, but it only works well if you have it fully loaded .
-the only thing is the satin lacquer finish has gone dull from repeated washing but that was expectable.
It's beautifully finished stainless steel with 4 different weight modes , and a particularly easy to read blue lit display.
I use my high heat burner to preheat the pan and then grill steaks, hamburgers or hot dogs on it.
What I like about this one is that the handle does not come out at 90deg. it bends down which makes it easier and safer hold and to clean cause it kind of hooks on your fingers as you clean it.
It's not the pan so much as the condition it arrived in that I'm reviewing.
I love that it has a very accessible button to switch from hard floor to carpeting and the dust canister is extremely easy to empty.
I have a standard 4 bedroom house with about 15% carpet and the rest hardwood floor.
I personally am using them for decoration and to put miscellaneous things inside them , I wouldn't put sugar or flour in them because the rubber seals are not that great, I actually removed them so I can open and close them easier.
I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded, and two others had strings hanging from them.
It also shuts itself off after a couple of minutes to save the battery .
My bother-in-law was having an open house party and was serving red or white wine only.
I would have given this 5 stars but after a month or so these little bumps began to form on the finish of the inside of the scoop.
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).
It's simple to put together, simple to use and not really bad to clean up .
Works great, single hand operation is nice.
the step by step instructions make it foolproof.
I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) My husband became obsessed with black pepper after he met me (I used to coat everything in it) but he uses the crappy pepper that has zero flavor when we go out to eat.
Maybe my husband can sear a steak on this or something, but it's certainly not useful for crepes.
Be sure to hang onto the big Allen wrench so you can tighten up the bolts when it starts to squeak after a couple of months.
One drawback is that the zipper is hard to close sometimes...and to be specific, hard to get started to close.
Hey, get a shop vac from Sears .
The salt shaker loads from the bottom ; a rubber flange pushes into the hole to keep the salt in.
Leifheit's Vario Cutting Board is a welcome addition to my kitchen.
First, the base of the pin to pierce the eggs is too wide .
I am an avid sewer, so I really have to have a good ironing board .
I like Zenith products because you are getting a good product for a decent price and they are pretty durable which is nice for bathroom use.
We purchased this on Jan 29, 2014 .
Also living in a higher altitude, we needed to turn down the temperature and that seemed to help a lot too.
Now my rice is perfect, I love the fact that the Zojirushi gives me a simple setting for every type I prepare.
It's fairly loud, but it takes only about 10 seconds so it's not too bad.
But after about 6 months or so , the bottom half of the two-piece handles came unglued, one by one, rendering them useless.
The Great Room where I use it is probably bigger than what this humidifier can handle, but it seems to at least get the humidity above 30% , which is far better than the 25% we sometimes get in the winter.
so it can sit outside on the tile patio, and if it drops, there wouldn't be glass shards everywhere.3) Fit into the fridge door (which this one does because it is oval rather than round - ingenious!)4) Clear so the tea is made quickly - which yesterday proved to be less than 20 minutes.5)
There are enough larger ones for my family of 5 and I use the tiny ones all the time for storing things like cinnamon-sugar, peanut butter for lunches, leftover toppings for meals like Hawaiian haystacks, etc etc.
So why 4 stars and not 5? No instruction manual , and no waffle plate.
My tips are to make sure the lid is on tight .
I also had a little too much leftover pineapple from the shell which seemed a waste.
I don't always have the room to store lots of beers in there, so sometimes I will find myself with friends over and no cold beers .
I fill this sucker up with ice and water in the morning, stick a straw in it, and the water is kept ice cold all day long .
I had a Sunbeam for 4 years which I loved.
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.
This vacuum is definitely built more for corporate cleaning than household cleaning - there is no twisting or bending, no hose with various nozzles for cleaning stairs.
Cold green tea.
I rotate the mattress , don't know if have to but old habits die hard.
I disagree that Wilton is easy to roll out - perhaps that was on an extremely hot day in a very humid house?!
I personally am using them for decoration and to put miscellaneous things inside them, I wouldn't put sugar or flour in them because the rubber seals are not that great , I actually removed them so I can open and close them easier.
These are simple to use - you need to flush them with about 1 gallon or 4 liters of water to activate all the filter area.
a much lower temp then my other cookware .
The resulting bread has been very tasty (and hopefully healthy as well) .The mill is loud (I guess that's why they rebranded from "Whisper Mill"), but I've never seen a mill that wasn't.
I wish it fit in my sink for easier cleaning, but it's about an inch too wide to fit inside either side of my two bowl sink.
I am extremely careful when taking them off and putting them back on .
It might even be easier to pop muffins out.
I love this mat for everything.
Amazon is a very prompt shipper and this desk probably took a day longer than what I had expected, but that was no big deal and it is just as likely that this desk did not really take long.....is just that most Amazon orders ship really really fast.
It's also pretty quiet for a vacuum and my dog who is terrified of the regular vacuum is not bothered by this at all.
I bought it as a gift for a little girl for her small bed, for in the car, for watching TV, etc.
It balances well on the front edge of my counter, and the expanding basket is extremely useful.
The Trudeau is way overpriced for what you get .
Most everyone loves a sweet treat and when the treat is made in your own oven, the freshness and flavor are often second to none.
I ordered two of thee and so glad that I did.
I recently acquired the Lodge Double Dutch 5 qt. dutch oven and fell in love with cast iron.
The truth is, though, my two-cup plastic storage containers with lidswork just as well, so unless you like cute gadgets, I'm not sure it's worth the extra money if you already have such containers in your kitchen.
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.
It's a very well made fan that is spoiled by excessive fan noise which is a real shame.
its screw holes are a bit oddly placed, located below the chalkboard .
We've used it primarily for cooking meats and it has worked really well.
But OXO has tried to one-up the napkin holder by producing this device.
My family loves to take our dinner in the living room and watch a good movie together, but we have had problems and the Table Mate has helped to sovle them.
This slotted spoon , like the rest of the products from the OXO Good Grips line, is a great value of superior quality, unsurpassed durability, and flawless performance.
I bought this based on an America's Test Kitchen recommendation.
The plastic is also very clear (as compared to the cloudier plastic of mine), but it's possible that is because this is brand new and mine is several years old.
I've even turned it upside down in my purse by accident when I was waking into work and no spill!
I cook for myself, so this little skillet is the perfect size for 3-egg omelet in the morning, or veggie saute for dinner.
It's durable. Resist chips. Safe to use in the dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer .
I recommend using this with the duvet clips available on Amazon to keep the devet aligned witht he cover.
I bought like 75 of them last spring, and a year later I have maybe 15 left, and only because they are in the back of my closet.
I have it sitting next to my kitchen sink .
The bread pan has two paddles, not one like most, and is shaped more like a normal long loaf of bread.
1st one arrived defective -- the button would not stay down unless you pushed it off to the side or held it down.
I live alone and don't need 16 glasses on even my most laziest week, but if you have company over a lot then obviously you would need more...
But I don't find that it cooks the muffins as nicely as in the oven, the bottoms tend to be rather hard and I find the muffin comes out "denser" if you will than normally.
Please use denser, sturdier batters .
Very modern and sharp looking in my kitchen.
After some painting was done there were some areas I hadn't cleaned the first time so I brought it out and started to clean and found it was not sucking up the water..the little door in the front keeps popping back up and loses the suction.
Pros:-- Designed for different sized citrus --Measuring Cup (1 cup)--Easy to clean, assemble - and the lids snap in place and stay in place.
This comforter is about medium thickness - it provides nice warmth but since it is not super thick, you may need additional blankets for a very cold night.
I added additional magnets and re-stitched the seams by hand.
I use this pan 3-4 times per week; it does well with fish, steak, hamburgers and the ubiquitous chicken breasts .
I'm very pleased with this purchase, which will probably outlast me.
I called Zojirushi and spoke with someone there who helped me to pick out the best model for our purposes and we love it.
I've been using the Breville daily for over four years ,multiple cups a day.
2 Buddies
I travelled for two hours and had to wait in a hot car for about twenty minutes.
We got two of these to hold out freshly baked bread .
I never wanted to be one of "those" people -- the ones who carried water with them everywhere, like a baby bottle , as if there is some need to never go more than ten minutes without a drink.
This Freshware pan is for those who like to bake muffins and cupcakes in a smaller size.
I will now give away my other irons to my daughters .
We washed it thoroughly when we received it, and then seasoned it ourselves with bacon (not sure it really "needed" more seasoning, but I'm old school that way.
With this new rack, they cool much after, and I am nit worried anything is going to burn .The quality seems good, and certainly at this price point it is.
I couldn't believe how much crud it sucked up off my floors!
These lids are THICK compared to others & the price was more reasonable.
I used Fat Free Sweetened condensed milk because that's what I had in the house, and it worked fine.
I purchased it to go with a few other odd sized Farberware pieces I was given and it matches perfectly!
It is well built ( as are all Breville products) is the most versatile I have ever owned and the settings are very accurate.
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.
I, too, bought this dispenser so that I could easily refill my three cats' bowls each day.
The tips that actually grip the bag are rubber coated.
Have had it a few months and no problems.
So, because it was inexpensive and would cost more than it's worth to ship back , I'm stuck with it.
It comes with 8 metal bars and 2 sides to push the bars into, this is most easily done if you put the side of the rack on the ground and push the bars down into it and then put the top rack on top and push it down.
We are a family of 3 and I can cook for the entire family in it.
But, other than the warping of the tray, I would have given a 5-star rating.
May 2013 amendment.
I just bought another one here on Amazon because the red one I have has a few cut marks about 4 or 5 inches from the tip (I think from using it as a spatula to get all of the spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, etc. out of cans when I am emptying them into the pot.
It's fun and environmentally friendly and I love that they have tags on the inside of the items telling you how many plastic bags you save, or were used to manufacture the item saving them from the landfill.
I was disappointed to find that the tapered sides make it too small for any burner location on my Corning stove top.
It is infrared heating, and it has a blower motor.
I put this in his room thinking it would help but it doesn't .
My RO is using these ISpring filters.;__Tap water:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~98 PPM__RO:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~25
If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!!
But over all I love the blender. Sounds powerful .
I saved $155 off the retail price (over 50%) using the OCTSAVER coupon and by applying for an Amazon Visa card, plus have six months to pay with no interest.
In fact it's disturbing how much dirt and hair come up .
The only issue I have with this, is it beeps (and loudly too) every time you push a button .
I have never used a laundry sorter before but after I found a towel that a mouse had decided to use to make a nest in as it was in a pile on my laundry room floor, I decided I needed to get my dirty laundry up off of the floor.
This is the fourth set of Duralex Lys bowls I've purchased for myself since 1974 .
The dial is very large which I like so it can be read easily.
I suppose all yogurt makers are pretty much the same, just a heater.
** The cord clip on the handle makes cord handling a snap.
After three hours in a hot car, the water is still pleasantly cool.
And finally, while I was worried about these being cheap and/or poorly made, they are (at least the ones I got!) solid and Italian -made.
It seemed cheaply made and had a weird smell.
Yesterday we used it to start pizza dough ....that was terrific.
I have a black one that came with accessories--dough hooks, whisk, and drink mixer rod.
I pop them in the dishwasher without worrying about the little crevasses.
It is really 9 1/2 x 13 1/2 X 8 1/2 which was what I really wanted anyway but is much smaller than advertised.
If you haven't already looked I have posted pictures to show size and my first tamagos made .
Best part of this one is that the container doubles as a pitcher .Overall
The slot on the front of each box for labeling is open at the top and bottom, making the labels not stay inside very well.
I have tested the fire resistance of the handles, too, by leaving the handle resting on the edge of the hot pot.
Available in lots of colors , we have the salmon (that's really pink) set.
If you are looking to make a good, basic cup of coffee using a machine with a small foot print , this will work.
I like the fact that I don't have to look up cooking time because it's on the face of the dial.
This OXO Good Grips Hand-Held Mandoline Slicer wasn't a good choice either.
As a result, the stand is unstable .
I bought these pans thinking that this style/size would be a universal size for all types of tins .
It didn't do as well on the old dog pee stains (yes, I need to replace my bedroom carpet), but it improved them.
I was interested in this for one purpose: to hold my pastry mat in place .
They are the perfect size for my tiny mother to work with.
The instructions are very long and specific .
If you don't have one of these pans in your kitchen, you need to add it to your collection because you'll wonder, as I have, how you got along without it to this point.
All mechanical operations did not fail.
Recommended by Cooks Illustrated for this feature, this blender is incredible at crushing ice to the right consistency for a crushed-ice margarita, which, let's face it, is one of the best reasons to have a blender.
Perfect size for either one or two .
Awesome quality product that looks great!
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.
It is a small set , but the price reflects that.
First I start out using bottled water and I pour nice and slow so the mold is even.
The box is useless.
This press is made of very sturdy, solid stainless steel , It is very easy to use, easy to hold, and easy to squeeze, I don’t know why some of the other reviewers had trouble, maybe their garlic was very hard, but ripe, unpeeled garlic presses just fine for me.
Still stuck buying the proprietary bottles at crazy high prices considering standard plastic drink bottles are almost free.
Cooked easy and was a great healthy meal choice for my family!
Even though I said I'd get another one, 6 weeks use is ridiculous.
Maybe it makes it safer electrically , but I don't have any other small appliances with so heavy a cord.
I use it year-round for a fountain and for lights .
I would say that it's easy to dent .
I can't say how will it does or doesn't work for lotion, but it works great with liquid Dial soap !
the price I paid.
I find that this scale makes it easy to keep track of my calorie intake.
but i think using paper filters is so wasteful of resources .
Priced right, works exceedingly well, cleans up very easily .
I have yet to find a placefor it in my kitchen, so it is currently in my storage room .
Easy to grip and grind .CONS:
The bowl, lid and colander are remarkably strong and contain no BPAs.
We were having a smaller wedding with only about 60 guests and I could not imagine spending that much on a chocolate fountain rental, so I started my quest and found the Wilton 3 Tier Chocolate Fountain.
When you're using this Wok on an electric stove the heat is completely concentrated at the bottom , so things get super hot, stuck, and then eventually burn at the bottom.
America's Test Kitchen highly recommends this pressure cooker.
If I can marry this pan I would :)Get this pan.
I've been using this pitcher for weeks now, and I'm certain that it will last a good long time.
This is the best vacuum I've ever owned (and I've owned many).I have had it for over 5 months now and it is as good as the day I bought it.
but I then purchased the smaller ones .
The design tries to make up for this by the slight curvatures in the handle , but it doesn't quite address the torquing issue.
That said, the ' static -free' glass container is a bit of a laugh.
They are sturdy where I have had some that were thin and flimsy but not these.
So I give it a 3 star rating.
I was a little surprised that the legs don't lock into place (at least not that I can find), so you'll have to use both hands to hold the legs in place while sitting the cooling racks on the counter or stacking them onto each other.
And when you factor in its low price, this steel is an unbeatable value.
I picked this up before Thanksgiving because it looked like it would make two specific cooking chores easier - mixing popover batter and making hollandaise sauce .
I can see how keeping your thumb out of the holder would improve your grip, but who wants to keep their hand out of the holder reaching into a 400 degree oven?
After an hour of noisy churning, the base was still liquid and the bowl was only slightly chilled.
I don't know if it was just a bad unit, or if all steamers work this way.
Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.
I have found yogurt recipes on the Web that work great in it, but don't count on the booklet that comes with it.
More often than not the ones I have come across are too big and bulks to be left out on the counter and just didn't deliver what I needed the most - the juice!With this Epica juicer though I am happy to say that it is truly a marvelous little gadget that doesn't take up too much space, and looks good on the counter top!
For the noodle maker, this is much faster and easier than using a pasta machine .
I chose a great rating for this product because they're inexpensive, lightweight and work just great with cotton candy.
The first thing I noticed about this was the very nice appearance of the press .
The flower design eventually wore off the inside of the cereal bowls.
The quality is great .
My old kettle that i bought on Amazon on January 28. 2008 still works fine but seems to take longer to bring a full kettle to a boil.
BEWARE of this sharp edge .
I live alone, but like to bake for gifts and monthly card parties .
It isn't the most practical obviously, but it does make nice little ships and icebergs that are easy to remove.
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.
( works great on floors- medium success with carpet so if you have carpet this may not be your solution).
I received it on a Friday , discovered the issue Saturday and sent an email to Amazon customer service Sunday.
I would suggest keeping it in the box so as not to lose any parts.
This compact vacuum cleaner as several cool features to recommend it.
I almost never give more than four stars to a functional product such as cookware.
my daughters and it took a while to find it.
The plastic feet allow it to slide nicely on a hard-wood floor, so you can easily pull it away from the wall to manage TV connections.
Recommended, but will you spend $60.00 for a clothes hamper?
It also features and on/off switch which a lot fo the others out there do not so you can save on some batteries, even though the draw is minimal as I use this thing a lot and am still on the same battery (thankfully it only uses 1 AAA and comes with it).
Installation couldn't have been easier!
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.
a ceramic stove top without risk of scratches.
so I'm giving it a 4 , rather than a 3,
I got this yogurt maker due to price and simplicity. Fewer features also means less can get broken.
Bought this for my wife as a Christmas present, decided to spend the extra money (cause my sweetie is worth more than just a snuggie) and I'm really glad I did.
I can't say how the filters work, because I've not had to replace one thus far.
it looks exactly like this unit shown here...the boxy speaker-like unit is the same, the button controls are the same, the readout...SAME.More dust collects on the front grids than collect in the back, which is where the air enters, from the back.
Took it camping once and it was nice to actually take the keg while I was swimming in the lake and the flip top prevented any splashes of lake water from getting into my drink .. plus the bottle opener!
I've made burgers and steak and they've come out beautifully -- nicely seared on the outside, juicy on the inside.
Anyone who suffers from neck and back pain knows that each person is different and what works for one person won't necessarily work for someone else, but this pillow is definitely worth a try.
I think these are way too pricey and no doubt the result of marketing an item under a celebrity's name .
I bought the set as a gift for my daughter and surprised her by putting the topper on while she was at work (the foam wasn't arriving until the next day).

It is very slightly serrated and has never gotten dull .
it has dried out and cracks as it folds over the cake.
It is well-made and stores 3 discs, a dough blade, and the chopping blade.
Space bags are cheaply made, if your not careful you'll rip the seams out of them, but even if you are careful the bag will not keep air out for very long.
They seem ideally suited for what they are designed for.
This is a cleverly designed item: the grips are strong, the flaps nicely spring back after clothing has been stuffed into either of the two chambers and the cloth material of the entire unit seems durable and good for the long haul.
I bought this pan about 3 years ago .
Does not work well for getting under things and the Hose/attachments are not great, but does a wonderful job on carpets and BARE FLOORS (do not know why others had problems, but works for us.)
We got our first electric bill with the heater running and it was about 20 dollars less than what it would have been for December 2009. (we are billed monthly) and that is with me adding 2 aerogardens and several plant lights to my electricity bill.

I ordered all three sizes -- the eight, nine, and ten-inch pans.
Meat gets a nice sear at the highest setting and veggies, rice, noodles, etc. cook nicely as well .
I wouldn't buy more of them. The cubes do not seem to last longer at all and they are not so easily extracted from the rubber tray.
I tried the Nutribullet 600 and 900 watt models, and although they are powerful and make great smoothies, they are 5 to 8 times more expensive than this little guy, which works just fine.
Once I got it assembled , it worked just fine.
I think it would be much better if this were made from stainless steel or heavy duty aluminum .
And some recipes seem to become too cold for the full flavor to develop properly in the mouth.
I bought this knife after reading an America's Test Kitchen review...was a little skeptical as it was so relatively inexpensive but it's great!
The reason I'm giving this two stars is because: the handle is weak and feels flimsy to use (and if you have to constantly be pushing it forward to generate steam it should feel sturdy); the mop head stays in a fixed position and does not swivel, therefore; does not get in hard to reach places like the base of the toilet or tough corners.
I washed all of these before using and by the time they were de-linted in the dryer, there wasn't much towel left, one was shredded, and two others had strings hanging from them .
I haven't tested the water resistant factor , and hopefully won't have to.
I went for the low-voltage mostly due to the promise of finer sized heating elements .WOW!So
The top layer is like a terry cloth towel and the sides are a mesh like material .
I, as always, wish it had a retractable cord and nowadays I prefer bagless to these with bags, but as this vacuum comes with HEPA filter bags it's a step above it's competition because of the great filtration they offer.
At 50-something , my hands are beginning to ache, but I still cook, though sometimes I get my son to open jars for me.

I loved the 20 oz .
but got stuck on the black plastic that hold the blade in place .
It says in the directions to hand wash only , which is not a deal breaker, but it loses a star for that as it would be really nice to put in the dishwasher.
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.
I now have six of these hanging in my closet .
AND it comes with an extra hose !
I bought it to filter water through my emergency 5-gal bucket water storage contraption .

It appeared to be a quality memo center and the stainless steel would match very well with our kitchen and refrigerator.
I was so happy to finally find an ice cream scoop that doesn't break or bend awkwardly after only a few uses .
owning a bar means i have likely the worst schedule for sleeping possible .

It does have a 5 year limited warranty !
I use a lot of recipes from the internet , and this is the ideal way to store those print out sheets of paper.
I loved the 20 oz .
I run it almost 24/7 because I can never remember to turn it off after I get done leaving my valuable opinion on Amazon about the products I buy late at night in a stupor of despair and self pity.
I would be nervous using it on large shag rugs , too.
I put it outside, ran it for at least 6 hours and still the smell lingers.

However, the filter is very shallow and takes a while to filter the water before you can fill up the entire pitcher.

I knowwhen this is demonstrated on TV the chopper is easy to open and clean but my the one I have is very difficult to openwithout fear of breaking the device .I'm

I'm a no clutter kind of guy in the kitchen.
I ordered this pack and it arrived quickly, less then one week .
what more could i ask of a pan that is so versatile and at a reasonable price ?

You will have to experiment with the temperature and time settings because it is not the same as a conventional oven or even a regular toaster oven.
I was afraid the thing would no longer work, so quickly hot-glued the hole caused by the toothpick and it appears fine for now....
Therefore my only real con at this point is that this point is that the block is really big and awkwardly fits in my small New York City kitchen.
The last few days, I have encountered an additional problem with the Chef's Choice 675 Hot Pot .
The only reason for giving 4 stars instead of five is because I thought the board had such a hard surface, based on the description and after seeing the product for the first time, that it would not allow any etchmarks to get embedded in it but then found out that it does allow scoring in order to protect the knives so, while that's good, I still wanted it to stay pretty for longer!

It is a little tricky catching all the corn, and it takes some time to get used to how it pops and how long it takes .I have not used the built-in butter melter thingie, as I learned a long time ago that doing that makes a mess of the popper and requires a lot more clean up.
The dividers have small gaps in places, which results in the knives occasionally sliding into the adjoining compartment.
And truthfully I don't find the unit to be loud for the amount of air that it is producing, and I haven't turned it off of low setting .I am quite pleased with my purchase and look forward to a Cool Summer at less cost than running my AC unit.

In the picture, the hamper stands perfectly straight but 2 of the folding creases on are along the left and right wall so the minute some dirty clothes go in, the sides pop out at the fold , which runs vertically down the middle of the left and right walls, and the hamper starts to bulge and lose its rectangular form.

This napkin holder from OXO is a really interesting and cool design.
I suppose this is due to the vibrations caused by the water moving around in the kettle .
In my area, such drinks are around 2.99 to 3.99 each, so you can see the value of this unit- quite quickly!As others have mentioned, dont overload it with ice , and make SURE you have liquid in it.
The slot on the front of each box for labeling is open at the top and bottom, making the labels not stay inside very well.
I do have one minor complaint, there was a sticker on the inside of the scoop itself that must have been applied with super glue or something because I had to soak it for almost 45 mins just to get the darn thing off.
This humidifier is LOUD ; there's no way to sleep in the same room when this thing is running.

This comes with great stainless steel inside cooker (thick bottom).
The blade image is a bit misrepresented, it's carbon steel - so it will get dark.
I used to use a stovetop pressure cooker but you have little control over the temperature/pressure (see below).As for the sticking issue, I find you need to be careful at the 400F ("browning") temperature not to scorch foods, esp veggies, flour-dredged meats--turn the temp down to 300 or 350F; but if you are searing uncoated meat, 400F is ideal for a good fast sear that releases from the metal.

This knife is at least 10x as sharp as any knives you would find at your local department store even if you paid double the price.

I made sausage and cheese egg muffins in the OvenArt muffin pan to fully test the baking cups ability to cook evenly, be nonsticking, and come out clean.

The knife washes easily, and goes in the dishwasher without a problem.
Every ice cube tray I've ever had has one, or more, of these problems:1) the ice cubes do not come out whole, they crack while trying to get them out of the tray;2) I have to twist and turn hard and over and over to get all of the ice cubes out of the tray;3) the trays themselves get cracks in them from all the twisting and turning trying to get the ice cubes out.
He got it together, but it took a lot of work, two trips to the store, and it required a drill.
We live in Florida and on a hot summer day our apartment AC stopped working.
It's meant to be carried around your neck , if you wish, so it's on the small side and the compact button layout might not be convenient for people with arthritis.
works as advertised so it gets five stars .
one thing I don't like about this machine is that the bottom layer of yogurt turns out burnt .
There is a three year warranty.
The twin is really a full-size .I'm
The bristles have to be checked every time to clean it, with my shoulder-length hair.
I usually blend the frozen fruit on low , and as I write this it occurs to me that maybe I need to increase the speed in order to move those frozen pieces to the bottom and get the blender going again.
We are VERY happy with this purchase even after two years of use.
It works great for steaming but it is really difficult to open when hot without burning yourself.
The only minus star to the cast iron pan is the almost diesel like smell no kidding that comes from the pan once it gets very hot.
Fine with me; I haven't heard the neighbor's country music in months and the dog is no longer alerted to save us from the mailman's daily threat to commit a home invasion.
You clip them on the diagonal across the corners of the underside of the mattress, and you forget about them until you change your sheets.
Read the other reviews about exploding (Hope it does not happen), and leaking steam - yes, this too leaks steam , if not screwed tight.
I've been using the Breville daily for over four years,multiple cups a day.
Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack, 14-1/2 x 20 inch .
Then again, one could wash/disinfect the top if desired, but who wants to bother with that everyday?
This heater would have fit perfectly where we wanted it.
The finish is still perfect, although I cannot get myself to use metal utensils on it.
Pros:[1] Adjustable handle height (for us shorties)[2] Great suction[3] Long cord
They tend to be rough on good pots/pans and honestly just feel a bit better about using fresh Olive Oil .
The biggest problem were the interior pins, which do take some effort to secure.
It's easy to clean , and it doesn't have the static problem you get with plastic hoppers.
This corkscrew replaces a costly winged corkscrew that had it's worm break inside the cork.
I just ordered this with a cover two or three days ago and was not expecting them to arrive so quickly since I picked free shipping .I was pretty sure that king sized blankets/quilts/comforters would have significant overhang when used on a queen sized mattress and sitting under the duvet right now, I'm kind of disappointed.
Even so, with the added 60-day satisfaction guarantee and 3-year warranty from the remanufacturing company ("BuyHappier"), I don't think I will be unhappy at all.
Love it... however it does not have an on/off switch.
Our aim was to mostly prevent the dogs from scratching the leather .
These are great stands for the low price I paid.
It stayed cold for a LONG time (3-5 hours) on an 85 degree day.
I can still use this in the oven , as they work great for that, but may just end up giving it to a relative with appropriate size stove burners.
Crane produces more moisture than Vicks .
My closest experience is with a fifty year old Electrolux.
Not much I really like about it other than it's a 12 cup thermal brewer.
So in a workers revolt, a Keurig B60 Special Edition was purchased.
Not to mention the fact that it is gorgeous in orange .
This came broken in a million pieces because of the on-shelf packaging.
It is stainless steel with punched holes that allow small tea particles into the cup.
Yes, it's ok .
I have owned 3 of the biggest Cuisinart processors over the last 35 years, and 2 of the mini-preps.
And, just like many of the travel mugs out there, It leaked and looked cheap and flimsy.
It's a beater, one of the ones that normally comes with a newly purchased KitchenAid Mixer (ours was a KSM-150).
My son goes thru 10-12 cups per day and over time we've bought tons of these cups.
Zojirushi really knows how to make a rice-cooker.
The pour hole for the porcelain is located under the top portion of the handle , it is too visible - my eye was immediately drawn toward it.
the freon that is sealed into the one piece die cast aluminum is warmed by your hand which warms the freon inside (you can hear it when you shake the scoop ) and the freon gently warms the cup of the scoop allowing for easy release of the ice cream.
However, it is far too big for the kitchen (as it holds about a five year supply of sea salt) and too small for a bathroom, should you wish to use it there (it holds perhaps enough salt for maybe four baths).The real problem:Not shown in the picture are large labels top and bottom , which are ugly.
I'd definitely buy this again, and would recommend it to anyone looking to change the feel/comfort level of a bed .I wish I had something like this in college, as it blows the standard "egg crate" away.
Like many others, I bought two of these bowls to use as cat dishes for wet food !
But I do think its a quality mat as mats go, mine is nice and thick, and feels good on the feet .But I decided to try some waterproof interlocking shower\pool deck floor tiles and i absolutly love them.
My wife searched for a long time, did a lot of reading, took customer reviews from all over the internet into consideration and finally decided on this Cuisinart set.
I can't imagine buying a frother that does not have a non-stick feature.
I bought these ice cube trays for making baby food .
Sure they get food stains on their finish and on the rivets, but a little Bon Ami on a non-metallic scubbing pad
I have purchased and returned 3 coffee makers in the last 4 months before buying this one.
My Capresso was half the size and did the very same job.
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 .
AT FIRST WAS VERY UNSURE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT.
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.
I am not associated with any company and all opinions are my very own.
I bought this set to replace a non-seratted set that was way too flimsy .
You have to mess with it since all different toothbrushes and razors are different sizes .
If you are deciding between Zenith etagere brand or Elegant home etagere products , I suggest you should choose Elegant home.
They make a nice "rocks" glass for alcoholic beverages , but that's just the beginning.
It also helps with the " black bottom " syndrome I used to see in my biscuits and cookies.
Much easier to use, and my baked goods will stay in one piece (no struggling to get them out of their pan)
Putting their plates on the floor always ended up in a mishap.
I cook every night for a family of 5 .
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.
I have had an upright Dyson for at least 6-7 years , but hated using the attachments - if you have ever tried using them on stairs or to get under furniture, you would understand.
I might note that I'm using this filter with a Mr. Coffee brand k-cup machine and had no problems installing it .
Great features of this scale:-It's light-weight and small , so it is easy to store.-It's battery powered.-It has a "tare" function, so you can put a bowl on the scale and then "zero it out" and weigh the food that you then put in the bowl.
The one piece access cover to both coffee grounds and water addition make it somewhat clumsy to do a fast clean job. There is a tiny little target to add water and the top gets in the way of draining the carafe into the water reservoir.
The navigation works great, took about 3 minutes for the mint to sync with the north star navigation unit .
One piece of advice I will give others is when preparing to use a broth, preheat the pot .
As suggested, purchase the larger size.
Not only is the coffee pretty weak, but in brewing, water ran our all over the place.
After cooking , I scrape & even sometimes use a little water (immediately dry) and then wipe with paper towel and thin layer of oil before putting it back in my cabinet .
Was given the Cork Remover as a gift.
bottom unsnaps to provide 3" gusset for bigger items ... camera, glasses, even in a big case!
Bought two as gifts for a friend at 2/3 the price that I paid for mine at a kitchen store.
You won't be using this for baking poultry pieces, pork chops, etc. , and don't even think you could put a turkey on it.
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.
It is mission impossible to keep my house pet hair free.
Bought 2 of these.
I'm new to using a Food Saver , and I waited until I had used quite a few of the bags, before giving this review.
These shelves had an amazing way of collecting piles of clothes , hats and flip-flops.
Sure they get food stains on their finish and on the rivets, but a little Bon Ami on a non-metallic scubbing pad and it comes right off
This coffee maker lasted me about a year making one cup of coffee most days.
I still use 20 year old superstore bought garbage stainless pots n pans from 15+ years ago with my high quality stuff.
3 qt .
I watched the video that was submitted by a purchases/user which convinced me to buy this opener.
The joint between the stem and the glass is the weakest part, and twisting will put too much torque on this point.
I bought this crock pot for my wife when I saw the TV commercial with the locking lid.
I have tons of Wusthof knives, they're really wonderful and I've had them for years and years.
We only need to add air every couple of weeks , but it would be a real nuisance to attach a standard pump that often.
I have a large family and the skillets are too small for us, I would recommend this for a family of 2 or 3 .Overall
I still prefer the way that almond milk turns out when strained through something that is more tightly woven - which captures all of the fiber.
Guaranteed to increase your consumption of T-Discs (is that a good thing?
After 3 weeks, the glass carafe is still in good shape and hasn't cracked like so many others have reported, but I'm treating it with extreme care.
The system itself has good intentions and isn't overly cheap, but it is certainly not going to make the complex cup of coffee that a french press or Chemex will.
The Chillsner solves that problem.
When I would set my Mr. Coffee to come on at 6AM it seems I didn't get up until 6:20 and the coffee was already burnt !
I recently purchased this heater to heat a 15' x 14' room and this heater works great.
The top portion because of how small my cabinents are, doesn't hold a lot but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves, toothpicks and etc.
The only thing I wish was different is that the holes in the salt shaker are so very small , I wish they were a tiny bit bigger.
I'm sure it is from the waterproof material that is used in its construction.
I especially like how well it works in the bathroom .
If you're like me and you have AV equipment with multiple cable connections , then there's no way those cables will fit in the space allotted for the covers to snap into place .
Scuffing is zilch because this flex fit rack is outfitted with silicone contact points .
Some of the best things about this pie slicer are the clean up and storage, and the ability to slice the pie in 6 or 8 slices.
My recipe makes about 14 muffins so I ordered 4 packs of these!
When we got it, I immediately realized that I didn't take into consideration the size of it.
I have just about every piece in this line and I love it..the pans all cook evenly and with less heat than any other cookware I've used.
I have used the slicer three times, On the third use , the switch would only work in pulse mode which rendered the slicer useless to me as I can't hold the switch and slice a 2 lb chunk of meat.
All were essentially plastic and did an adequate job on onions, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, etc.
When I put it in, I noticed that instead of giving me a neat dollop like it was doing with the proprietary soap, it was giving me literally a very tiny dribble drop that was too small to wash with. As you may have noticed, the proprietary (and much more expensive) soap was of a more diluted consistency.
We use them in our commercial concessions and bounce house company and they are a huge hit.
BECAUSE THE MEASUREMENTS ARE GENEROUS, IT ACTUALLY FITS BEAUTIFULLY ON MY KING SIZED BED .
These hangers are worthless , and even put holes in your garbage bag when you throw them away.
The rubber end with the nubbins that grab hair works really well in any direction it is used.
I'd get it pretty and clean with this thing and then seal it.
This is my first Tamago Pan so I can't really be fair when I say it's awesome.
So I guess they improved the unit to run at 1000 watts .
It does not take up too much counter space , which is a huge plus.
I love that this is a compact processor that works fabulously!
Made three sandwiches with it, one turned out fine, but the other two were just a mess.
Hint: Press and hold "STOP" Then use the "START" button to cycle the flashing hours, "STOP" then minutes .3) If you set the time, but don't press start (for example, waiting for something to come to a boil) and it takes more than a couple minutes, the set time is cleared, and it goes back to clock mode so you have to enter your time again.4)
I had a potluck BBQ with several friends who were doing various preps in my kitchen of things they had brought...after several of them mentioned loving the knife and that they were considering just slipping it into their bags when they left...
So having this sit over the sink is PERFECT for that issue It folds up and stores away easily.
First of all, I keep this handy on my glass stove top next to the pan where I have been boiling my preserved foods.
This unit is absolutely true to the size stated in the description; shiny chrome finish, and a snap (literally) to put together.
Heavy and is just the right size, this is my favourite mug.
I typically keep 3 different ones in the fridge at any given time.
The set was of great quality and these sheets will stand up to many washings .
I have to say that Braun seems to be just one more company that is suffering from a bad case of quality slippage .
This fiesta set in Shamrock green is a nice addition to your fiesta dishes.
C&B was backordered for 4 months .
This comes in a deceptively small box, and uses the usual oddball hardware clamping devices to hold it together.
We like our waffles kind of crunchy - so sometimes we put them in the toaster oven for some extra crisping.
As a matter of fact...I can go all out, which I believe I will, and make some Margarita and Daquiri Pops, ice pops aren't just for kids you know :-)I am editing this on 06/24/13 to add:One of the nicer things about this freezer pop making set is, the lids .
I usually cook with Calphalon (the original), but after researching grill pans, decided this would be the one
The Yube Cube Modular furniture system is a little challenging to assemble.
I have this floormate although I didn't purchase it through amazon .
And, unlike my oldBISSELL Steam Mop Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner, 31N1, this Steamfast model doesn't require a water filter in order to work!
I am always in need of quality knives and scissors for the kitchen.
I recommend getting the Ball Color 6-Pack Lids and Bands, Blue to go with these.
I can cook food on conventional stove, electric grill, or microwave faster and more efficient than this oven.
The knife and fork are a nice touch, they are sturdy enough, but I find that the tongs on the fork are too fat to pick up lettuce, so I bring my own along..
The Primula Coffee Brew Buddy Single Cup Coffee Maker promises convenience and that it delivers.
I have a cover over the mattress and was worried if I put the egg crate cover under the cover it would slide around, hasn't moved.
And if you are prone to dropping earrings or rings slipping off of your finger, then this product is a MUST ---I never have to get my husband to unhook the pipes to fish out my errant earrings ever again!
Could see $50 - 60 .However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores.
The two parts of the handle screw together -- it did take some muscle to get them tightly together -- and the head just snaps on.
I have purchased and returned 3 coffee makers in the last 4 months before buying this one.
The Cuisinart Chef's Classic line is very affordable, and well regarded for the price (there was a review in CooksIllustrated).
The see-through window is clear and flexible.
In order for me to get salt out of the ceramic grinder, it takes a tremendous amount of strength to turn the top.
The Breville BKC700XL Gourmet Single-Serve Coffeemaker with Iced-Beverage Function is amazing and very easy to use and it comes with eighteen coffee pods!
To round out the set, get a 2-quart saucepan and a 12" skillet...
It uses a traditional replaceable bag to collect dust but has a HEPA filter over the exhaust port to collect fine particulate.
Also agree with a previous review that when mounted via the magnet , depending on how you push the buttons, it will come loose and fall.
I read how it cleaned rugs well and broke often
I bought this to replace an old strainer I had used for years that had belonged to my Mother.
That was using the textured scrubbing pad and an all-purpose cleaner.
According to the manual, when that 20 seconds is up, you have to wait five minutes before grinding again; otherwise, the manual warns that the motor may overheat .
I would have preferred a dark color.
Yes, it does whistle, but in proportion to its size. It's NOT loud. That is my major caution.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this coffee press, and tha fact that it won't EVER require a replacement glass insert is the BEST.The coffee is delicious and not bitter, which is why I purchased a French press in the first place, but for clumsy ol' me, this is a godsend.
I purchased this blanket for my 93 year old mother.
It's made terribly .
On my tile, it cleaned a lot of dirt out of the grout ; it didn't get it all, but it certainly made it easier to clean the little bit that was left.
I also noticed that the this is made in Thailand and not Japan like my old cup was.
But hopefully it will last a few years .
I put this on my very long table over a cloth tablecloth and it fit great and looked great!
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.
You should check out their grilling pan and jumbo fryer as well. Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 11-Inch Square Grill PanSimply Calphalon Nonstick 12-Inch Jumbo Fryer
After reading many glowing reviews, I decided to purchase the Ozeri Pro II Digital Kitchen Scale .
I thought that I could use my weight to tamp down the rest of the way and zip it like you would a suitcase - one side zipped but the other zipper came off in my hand - it is going in the trash .
I didn't purchase a new platform; instead, it sits on my not-too-old box spring which is fine.
First rule with a kettle is to bring the cup to the kettle, not to carry a boiling vessel across the room , etc.
It took me and my 16 yr. old kid exactly one hour to put this together, from the moment we opened the box until we were done tidying up everything.
As you plug it in, keep a close eye on it so this doesn't happen to you.
I like the little wheels for moving it over larger areas and jobs , even though I don't really consider it to be that advantageous or useful.
Overall this purchase would rank as a 4.5-5 -Star aquisition under normal circumstances...except:It is advertised as a 16-ounce cup, but wait...it holds 13.5-ounces (measured with graduated cylinder; not eyeball) filled completely to the top (not practical for coffee drinkers in less you want a lap-full-o'-coffee).
I recently purchased this heater to heat a 1 5 ' x 14' room and this heater works great.
I purchased two of these after experiencing how long theThermos
I learned how to make pasta by hand a couple of years ago - and that included using a hand crank pasta machine bolted to my kitchen counter.
You put the eggs in the poaching tray , and the top part of the egg (that is exposed to steam) cooks LONG before the bottom part (in the bottom of the tray).
We recently moved in to our home (about 5 weeks ago)
I've even been known to take it out to make my (no ice) green smoothie , because it works better than my blender.
Yes, it's small , we knew that when we bought it so I'm not complaining about the product description.
So, I loved it so much and it worked so well, naturally I went out and bought the newer model from Costco .There are some new great features: a larger water tank, a longer cord, three cleaning options, and no pumping action to get it working - just plug it in (wait a few min), select your cleaning option, and start mopping.
The rice is always just right never over/under done .I live on fried rices, Basmati and Jasmine are my favorites.
If you look at the packaging photo , there's lids on it.
Use recycled lids from store-bought mayo or salad dressing .
The plastic housing is off-putting, but other than that, we are happy with this mill.
It makes both good espresso and good coffee and the milk steamer works very well.
I have a full set of Calphalon which I love too, but I find I reach for my green pans most often , mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy!
This Kitchen Gurus scale is easy to read with its high contrast LCD display.
Honestly with a skillet and a toaster you can achieve similar if not superior results to this in the same amount of time.
the handle is the perfect length!
It would be awesome if there was some sort of fastening system involved as well.
Love the design and it's very easy to keep clean (inside and out).
I didn't even think to measure my king sized pillow top bed and this night stand falls WAY short of where I'd like it to be so I ended up having to make a box for it to stand on!
With this Duxtop 1800 Watts cooktop (very powerful) one can cook faster everything, boil water for pasta or vegetables, sear a steak, cook bacon etc.
I can't believe that I can fry eggs without oil or butter! Just use one of those silicone spatulas and you're good to go.
The edges on this blender are a little harsh: I cut my finger with the bottom of the base while getting it off a shelf, and the lid's plastic ridges are a bit sharp too .
I bought a gallon jug of white vinegar and I spent about an hour or two flushing the machine with pure vinegar.
It's really that easy to use .Cleaning is pretty easy as well. Simply rub off any excess flour using a damp cloth and take a damp paper towel and feed it through each of the dough and pasta attachments using the hand crack.
The lid fits perfectly and is also quite heavy.
We have been using it now for about a month and it has remained in excellent working condition.
Even my gps falls off my car window sometimes.
I wish I would have trusted all these negative reviews and just gone with something a little more expensive. Returning it tomorrow.
I'm a total kitchen gadget junkie and so I was delighted when I received this for Christmas.
Upon actually receiving it, however,the product appeared darker .
the front wheels have locks on them so you can lock the cart in place and keep it from rolling away when using it.
I ordered this and it was delivered fast but in an extremely damaged box with only a sheet of packing paper shoved in one side.
Steuby & Co .
I got these for the matching sheet set - these cases, like the sheets, are really soft and for the price, are great!
The hanger that's included isn't that great, but when I substitute my own padded hangers it's ideal.
I have tried everything to get this machine to make good espresso , to no avail.
Also, with large cans (e.g., 50 oz , you will find it more of a challenge to open the can overall).
It is cute too, washes easily, Dip-It cleans the residue that accumulates over time.
We have one of the older versions without the easy clean lid and this version is much improved.
They're metal with a heavy silicon coating .
I got this for my daughter, who is an avid tea drinker .
However, please be very careful because the blade is very sharp.
This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity.
Only 2 negatives I have is that the beeping doesn't shut off on it's own, so if you're doing something else, you have to manually hit the stop to turn it off.
The product listed as 16 1/2 x 11 5/8, but I recieved 18 x 13 mats. Sort of a double edged sword as the larger mats mean I got a slightly better deal than already outstanding price advertized, however, as a result I had to purchase larger "commercial" sized jelly roll pans (difficult to find 18 x 13 cookie sheets).I'd recommend these to anyone who's sick of tracking down parchment paper, or wants a great buy on a great nonstick baking mat.
It is always the two water containers.
Reduce the amount of batter from the suggested 2 cups to 1.5 cups or you'll overflow2.
Size-wise, it's nice and big and fits two adults comfortably.
The flavor you get from the popcorn is fabulous !!
This is a 5 star winner for sure!
I ordered one of these (according to picture displayed which looked super-thick) from Goodmans and got the cheap thin plastic one.
Mix - it will bubble up - seetles right down for 4 perfect waffles - 6 min cook.***********Betty
The Thermos travel mug is well made and, here's the thing, it actually keeps drinks hot or cold.
I ordered one of these (according to picture displayed which looked super-thick) from Goodmans and got the cheap thin plastic one.
I have had a Taylor 5 932 NSF oven thermometer for over 3 yrs now.
*cleans EASILY*stands up out of the way on the counter behind my coffeemaker (or sits)*sharp as ever (11/07)*holder holds it all together very compactly & is easy storage/quick, even the holder hooks on to the storage container.*does not discolor with tomatoes, etc*mandolin itself locks into the holder so prevents prying little hands from taking out SHARP bladed portion, but is easy for the adult who knows where the lock is in back*templates for different cuts slip in effortlessly*the holder is nearly as slim as the mandolin it carries, with all the templates
There has been no shrin king in the washer/ dryer and it's very effective at protecting our mattress, even from an attack of a toddler "accident"- leaving our mattress pee free!
I pulled it out of the cabinet on Sunday for a party and it would not come on...my husband took the back off and the inside insulation was severely burned where the electric connects to the heating element.....pretty sure they will not replace at this late date, but am going to try....even if they do, this is still a definite quality control issue!
For the price, features , I recommend it!
However, I'm the only one in my household who can get their hands inside this pot .
This one may even end up being cut in half .
That also means there is virtually no clean up after use .It is easiest enough to use that even kids can do it and it comes with a butter or margarine melter that is also a measuring cup.
The mechanisms are highest quality and smoothly grind 6 different levels with out any issues.
While the comforter is not soft enough it looks and feels good (it is also very light), the same cannot be said about the sheets which feel cheap to the hand.
to reach pressure, then the cooking time, and then 10- 20 mins .
...first off dont even attempt to fry eggs in this skillet for at least 2 weeks of using....when i recived mine i washed well in hot water, even tho it seasoned your gonna wanna do it theright way...after washing put on top stove to dry,then cooked bacon in it, you are gonna wanna useanimal fat as much as possiable.....it did stick
No more using cups to mix eggs in or old butter tubs to mix things in!
I washed them and put them on my bed immediately.
I ended up with this based on reviews and price and Im so glad I did.
Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.
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 fill the ice compartment partially with ice cubes, then fill in around those with crushed ice .
it's the shoulder strap .
This cutlery organizer looks great, seems very durable , and I really like that it has 2 short compartments instead of just 1, like most organizers.
The closure slides and DOES NOT LOCK INTO PLACE.
I'm thankful that there weren't any little grandchildren's fingers reaching in the bowel to steal a taste of the batter when the mixer automatically started up!
Clean up is a breeze which is awesome.
Researched a dozen mixers, biggest complaint was that slow speeds were too fast .
I have used this multiple times on my living room rug .
The only thing I don't care for is the awkward feel of the handle .
Pinking shears are a necessity for anyone who sews.
Some people see this fan as a way to cool the tent while camping, but my family wanted a backup in case our electricity should fail.
Even many hours later , my food was still hot enough to be enjoyable.
also, the cost of paper filters can add up, and since this is a one-time investment it's bound to save $$.for my coffee maker, it's a bit large (but i dont have a cuisinart, i have a weird brand, so this may not be common), and this means that the lid is propped up slightly, which menas that the coffee is not as hot as it usually is when it's done.
It's hard to get things out of, too, even with the lifter feature.
We (coonasses) live in Louisiana and love too cook, these pots once seasoned, cook great and last forever ...
When I'm crushing a bunch of garlic, I peel all the pieces except for the last one .
With the cup on the bottom the grater is unstable.
These barnyard covers are excellent and have stayed clean so far after almost 2 months of heavy use.
The insulated grip is in the right place and is comfortable to hold.
The Cuisinart heats quicker and cooks much better even though they are the same wattage.
Easy to ue, big display, count-up feature, loud/long "done" signal.... just the best.
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.
The gauge seems to be correct at the lower temperatures, but the oven never seems to get much over 350 , using an oven thermometer.
Under the motor you can wrap the power cord, which prevents a messy cord.
Got this mainly for our kids .
No bubbling like the ones from my grocery store, they held up, no mess at the end of the day, I threw everything away, and I used 7 slow cookers, if that tells you anything.
My closest experience is with a fifty year old Electrolux .
Will use them every chance I get .
This vacuum is so superior to dustbusters(I have owned too many to count).It actually has lots of suction power and the battery stays charged for a good long time.
Either pad will save energy.
I really like this dispenser .
Compared to stainless, iron heats up slowly but keeps the heat much longer .
It also has a scented filter you can use which makes the house smell good.
I suffered for 3 months with it and finally just got tired of it and the awful coffee it made.
I bought this precision scale and calibration weight set specifically so that I could tell whether a clear round brilliant cut gemstone that I have was a real diamond or a synthetic diamond .
The V-shaped cutting heads on both the carbide blades and the ceramic side of the Wusthof sharpener that I received from Amazon are set at the wrong angle for the Wusthof knives.
Mine is several years old now and without equivocation it is as clean today as it was when first bought.
My second batch only took 6 hrs and I actually followed the right instructions.
They call it a whole house filtration system , which would lead you to believe that everything you need to install is included, but it's not.
We used it to replace a worn box spring for a guest bed.
I've had it for a few weeks with daily use and have yet to find any of its functions lacking .
We keep one in the shower to dry down the tiles after each shower and even though small they pull the water off the tiles just fine.
I love my coffee pot have no complaints about it but the math on the box just did'nt add up-
I spray a little stainless cleaner on a towel and polish it.
The larger bowls are great for many things in the kitchen- -mixing, defrosting, even informal serving .
After reading all the good reviews on amazon, I felt save enough to drop $70 for this trashcan.
It is the best timer I have ever used even though it is very small in size, it is an excellent produce that works very efficiently.
As another reviewer mentioned, it will not get into the cracks and cervices of a tile floor so you still have to get the grout clean yourself.
I tested the accuracy with a 50 g calibrating weight - this scale is absolutely accurate to fractions of whole numbers. I would recommend this to family and friends, and the Amazaon price was marvelous.
You need to tip the container more to get over the rubber seal, so you don't have as much control over how much you pour or where it is going.- Bigger measuring cups don't fit .I wanted to use these containers for flour, but I need a cup at a time.
The CDN measured 33 and 211 while the Taylor measured 36 and 190 degrees .
So I saw this online by accident and thought that I should give it to her as a gift.
I've been using this product for six months .
I hate ironing and experimented between this steam press and theDeLonghi steam generatorto find an iron that might actually make it easier, faster, or less tedious.
Since the handle is round and has no flattened areas, it tends to torque in your hands in certain cases.
I love that these bowls are made in the USA .
Although it, of course, works...it seems like it may break or crack in the future.
I truly love this pan .
the thingi really liked about it is the rest all have like $100 a year in filters you have to buy and this has washable filters even for the hepa.
After reading tons of reviews (including ones in Cook's Illustrated) I broke down and shelled out the cash for this one.
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.
It brews directly into the coffee cup and clean up is easy.
The only problem is that they don't last long and I'm constantly having to replace it. I wish they made one that was a bit more durable.
The controls are simple and easy to read. It brews pretty quickly and holds a hot pot for a couple of hours.
I love having the preset button but cannot use it because if I don't wake up right when it is finished brewing I do not get a hot cup of coffee.
The product image gives the impression that the handles on the spoons and forks have a more voluminous shape .
This Hoover SteamVac is a great substitute for that monster vac.
Oddly it holds the temprature well, very little condensation aroundAs per the hand wash, get over it, a soapy sponge and a quick wipe dry and back in the counter.
Because of the aluminum construction, it is rarely necessary to turn the heat much over halfway on my electric range.
I don't like using a lot of chemicals, so I've been boiling water and using that as mop water.
Overall I have enjoyed this bed, and would recommend due to its price and durability .
As they say, this one is single walled, so not much on the thermal insulation.
The foam came rolled up tightly in a box and upon unrolling it and giving it time to air out (new smell dissipated within 24 hours) and return to its mattress form, it works great for our granddaughters bed .
I've had this crock pot for several years now.
There is also a 30 piece set of freezer jars by Ball also available that I will be buying soon.
Since they are $19.99 a piece I thought I would give these less expensive ($11 a set) potholders a try.
a light vacuum to use that would be quick to get the job done.
It's been about a month so I will have to post an updated part of this review in 5 months or so .
I tried new batteries with no success.
If you're in the 190-200# range , they will not stay up at the selected height and will eventually sink down to the bottom position.
The box says 8 cups-64 OZ.-NO way was this pot going to hold 8 cups or 64 OZ!--It holds 24 OZ which is fine by me-no way did I need 64 OZ of coffee first thing in the AM.
It's definitely an upgrade to a standard mop, but you do get a few drawbacks: there'll likely eventually be issue using hard water in such a device, you do need to refill the water compartment a few times per use (though you use dramatically less water), and you're restricted by the electric cord.
It is glass with a metal twist on/off top, made in Mexico.
A strong stainless steel peeler to last.
In the two smallest sizes, this high-quality stainless steel strainer has a very fine mesh that will strain out seeds , lumps, and just about everything else from a thin cooking liquid.
You just toss them on the floor and set your Haan Slim & Light on top of them and they stick.
I bought this blender because I loved my Cuisinart food processor and the brand used to be known for quality and their products were always used on the cooking shows.
This pitcher is definitely good for only one drink.
I just ordered this with a cover two or three days ago and was not expecting them to arrive so quickly since I picked free shipping.
Unlike some other reviewers, I did not have any problem with leakage while pouring .
In the two smallest sizes, this high-quality stainless steel strainer has a very fine mesh that will strain out seeds, lumps, and just about everything else from a thin cooking liquid.
Strong suction, light enough to carry around with one hand, and I vacuumed the main level of my house literally in 5 minutes !
The ice comes out looking like legos, but what I don't like is that the tray is very flimsy silicone.
I initially bought this because I wanted a glass shaker for oil and vinegar dressing , trying to swear off all plastic containers.
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.
But on the negative side, the safety switch which shuts it off when you don't keep steady pressure on the on/off switch is maddening!
The look and feel of the dinnerware is excellent .
It cost $6 to fill a 24oz tank, but it's still way better than $15/14.5oz without the sodamod.
Baked spuds come out great in same time a big oven would take.
The vacuum they fit is a complete piece of junk, but if you insist on continuing to use it (or somehow it hasn't broken down on you yet), these bags are what you need.
For a < $50 food processor this product is great!
I ordered this on line as I could not find a replacement for my "William Sonoma" Brand.
I tried to find a way to glue them, but the handle is ridged inside with large hollow spaces , so I couldn't come up with an effective repair.
I already ordered the optional serving platter and bowl and I look forward to using this during the Holiday Season.
We purchase the my k-cup and I experimented with coffee and with tea .
The newer one is not sturdy at all and I wouldn't trust putting hardly any weight on it.
It seems silly to only be able to use half the bottle for product.
bit of an irritation in a busy kitchen.- it leaks ... within one week of using it, I noticed it leaks water while boiling and also leaks if there is any water left in it...
Got this one for xmas and it was damaged, but amazon return was super easy.
I have a smaller cast iron dutch oven , but I wanted something bigger for soups and stews and braised ribs and so forth.
My only suggestion to any newbie checking out pressure cookers is to be sure you know which way the steam is going to escape ..take care to aim away from any surface that might be injured by steam!
Things like "Never nest the mugs ", "Stack pieces carefully with protective felt pads or paper towels between each piece.".
I have only ground up a 5 lb roast and it took me longer to cut the meat into pieces than it did to grind it.
The jars are a good size for small quantities of herbs/spices .The concept of this is fairly good, but the design needs some tweaking.
I did go to the hardware store and bought a bottle of Finazzle and that was a miracle!
But, if you are like me and enjoy a great craft beer almost every day, this opener makes your evening ritual just a little nicer.
Cons-slides down shower head but does not fall off, not hard thing to fix but annoying--bottom shelf of rack is small in height so it does not fix much, more for razor, bar of soap and very small bottles--shampoo bottles barely fit on the top rack, this is probably because I have a large custom shower head, so if you have a large shower head you may want to find another product-
This mandolin is not so sharp as the ceramic ones, but considering how little need I have of a mandolin, the price was definitely right over one of those.
But if you place ice in the bottom and a little water it becomes a makeshift ice bucket and that does the job.
I used to have to heat it up in a secondary cup, then pour it into my travel mug (stainless steel etc).
I'm looking at a Mr. Coffee Optimal Brew 10 cup thermal .
This is a very slim scale with a long battery life that works pretty well!
Poking around on Amazon I came across this Pie Crust Maker and figured for around $5.00 bucks its worth a shot.
This item is shaped like a cleaver and thick like a cleaver.
It can hold four slices of toast if they're jammed together, so it's not huge, but I'm happy with the size.
I like the true hemmed seams and the nice weight of the fabric .
However being slightly short on cash I couldn't get the one I wanted and decided that this looked like the best option for the price .
Also, pouring the ground coffee out into a paper filter can be a little sloppy, but that is probably the case with any grinder.
We have a little alcove where our chinchilla lives and we decided to get a window A/C unit for her during a recent 90 degree spell .
Although I have a bigger sweeper , I keep using the Breeze.
All my shirts that normally slide right off the "satin" padded hangers cling onto these canvas ones perfectly.
The coating on the racks are textured and not smooth to help shoes from sliding and the adjustable racks help accomodate different types of shoes.
I've read complaints about the cord length (3 ft), but any longer would make it awkward to wind and carry.
No chemicals seeping into your water and whatever this outside is made of is amazing.
It heats up pretty quick and brings the water to a boil after 5-7 minutes .

until i bought this, i was hand-mincing garlic with a santoku-style knife , and though i love putting garlic in my food, it was so time-consuming that i didnt really want to use minced garlic anymore :S then i remembered the garlic press my mom had while i was growing up, more rounded than this one and with a pivoting hammer, but this one works very well too.
I mounted it on a 1" thick frame on the wall.
This coupler set covers anything in the intermediate range.
The Boos Mystery Oil made the cart look better than the day I bought it.
The rubber/plastic (whatever it is, lol) casing is a nice touch as it both protects the glass from impact and protects you from accidentally touching the glass while brewing (plus, it looks kind of sleek and cool).
I anticipate though, that the next development in the Thermos line will be something like the Tardis , in that it has a bigger capacity on the inside then appears from the outside - say, holding a gallon, while still only appearing to have a 2-cup capacity.
My bedroom is very dusty for some reason.
I ordered replacements and those had creases that went away in less than a day.
Having a large dog takes a toll on vacuums in terms of nasty odors over time.
Hoping I won't experience the failures described by others as I only use it once a week.
This is the perfection solution to not only holding the roll, but of storing a few spares!I haven't had issue with mine falling over, but we also do not yank the paper with brute force either...
Each fall for the past 10 years I make about 75 to 90 pounds of of saurakraut.
Overall this purchase would rank as a 4.5-5-Star aquisition under normal circumstances...except:It is advertised as a 16-ounce cup, but wait...it holds 13.5-ounces (measured with graduated cylinder; not eyeball) filled completely to the top (not practical for coffee drinkers in less you want a lap-full-o'-coffee).
Also, it should be noted that a 33 ounce capacity yields about 4 standard cups, not 8.
My only problem (hence the four stars) is that the groove isn't deep enough and bacon grease tends to overflow through that hole (what is it's purpose anyway?)
It balances well on the front edge of my counter , and the expanding basket is extremely useful.
I was able to adjust the accuracy of the Taylor some by using the hex bolt on the back but this calibration should have been done at the factory .
I bought this for my 6-quart KitchenAid Professional mixer, and this beater is a lot better than the one that came with the mixer . I bought it, because I make a lot of cookies, cakes, and creme pies .
We have 2 dogs, 1 that is part chow and sheds like mad - and a 9 month old who crawls all over the place.
I bought this wine opener as I have had carpal tunnel surgeries that let h=my hand weak and I love wine- but opening them has become dificult.
These hooks are exactly as described; remarkably strong even upside down, excellent for hanging anything from a heavy plant from a metal beam on my patio to a seasonal wreath on my front door.
The smallest one, 1/4 cup , is a little bit tippy, but the others are all solidly flat.
This heated mattress pad uses very low voltage and you can't feel the wires.
I got this because I saw Rachel use it on her food network show.
I think Hamilton Beach makes a great product, and most reviewers agree.
Not silent, but not distracting .
The clock, programming, auto shut off are all one needs and would expect.
We decided to purchase this attachment for use on the carpet .
They are non-slip .
Every ice cube tray I've ever had has one, or more, of these problems:1) the ice cubes do not come out whole, they crack while trying to get them out of the tray;2) I have to twist and turn hard and over and over to get all of the ice cubes out of the tray;3)
They aren't extra thick, or soft, or absorbent, or pretty---they are just standard white cotton dishcloths with blue trim.
It's really convenient for taking hot dishes to work or other events .
After 1 day, I noticed the air was a little fresher, crisper .
If you have pets, kids & lots of dirt, you may want a beefier machine.-It's really easy to use & comes apart so you can clean it up after each use.- 3- Speed Brush including "brush off" so you can just pick up spills.
I can't speak to being able to cover the mattress from bed wetting, but it you're looking for a well made cover to protect your mattress from normal sweat and body oils that seep through sheets, I rate this product very highly .
A friend has a pretty pricey Capresso and I've coveted it for years.
Use this frother, along with a Bialetti stovetop espresso maker and your own skim milk, plus whatever other ingredients you like, and you have Starbucks for about a quarter (or less) of the retail price.
I no longer have to drink my coffee with a straw on a bad day!
The other, which I bought at WalMart for around $34, was one of those old radiant heaters (a couple of feet long with wires strung back and forth) which was unacceptably loud.
I think these scissors are OK for the price($20 July 2013).
PROS:- Nice design.- Blue lights can be switch On and Off.- Easy to clean.- Good amount of steam.- Tank is easy to open and carry.
So with new filter I am figuring there is some kind of leak in the construction so a large amount of tap gets through.

It is a great starter set for anyone who needs quality knives and is just setting up house or really never had a good knife set before.
A stuffed burger .The key is to shape the meat into a patty before sticking it into the press.
When a young friend of our family's got married recently, I wanted to give her something that she would use a lot and for a long time so when I learned she needed a set of cookware, I researched and decided on this set.
Right now, I use 2/3 of a cup of oats with a dash of salt to slightly less than 3 cups of water.
We use it on the leaner cuts .
It's just something that happens with suction cups. Even my gps falls off my car window sometimes.
One of the first duties of this vacuum was to remove broken glass inside my daughter's car, recently broken into by shattering a car window.
I had previously purchased Eureka Enviro Hard-Surface Floor Steamer,313A and have used it for several months, however it was pretty limited in its cleaning abilities, so I was very excited to try out thisBlack & Decker BDH1800SM Handheld Steamer.
I've done comparisons with very expensive laboratory and M.D. scales , and have found this one to be right on the money.
A lot heavier than my previous twin 1 0 inch mattress.
The coating inside looks like a plastic , and I haven't wanted to risk melting.
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.
Somebody needs to take this idea and make a big version of it .
Received this 1 hour ago and does not work in my house and had spent 200.00 for assistance to try to fit my windows, very disappointed that this has happen.
I got this so as not to wake others when grinding coffee in the morning, but it makes only slightly less noise than my Starbucks machine which does a better job.
but I like the safety cover .
It is very sleek and attractive, with a gleaming chrome finish, and takes up less counter space than my previous scale.
I bought this based on all of the positive reviews that were previously posted.
After 3 weeks, the glass carafe is still in good shape and hasn't cracked like so many others have reported, but I'm treating it with extreme care.
will provide opportunities for small splatters to escape .
I always find ale and stout tastes better from a vessel shaped as this (and the etched star on the bottom allows bubbles to form on the micro-surfaces of the etching, and adds to the aroma and sensation.)
It heats very evenly , although you need to give it time....something this heavy takes a while to heat.
I have a full set of Calphalon which I love too, but I find I reach for my green pans most often, mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy!
I like everything about this digital oven thermometer except the plastic coated cord on the probe .
Purchased this specifically for canning on my induction stove top and used it for practice on a simle asparagus soup recipe.
However, the inside measurement is just slightly over 3-1/2 inches , so you'll get 3-1/2 inch muffins.
Because of these two things, I rated this product a 3 instead of a 4.The trigger is a little wide and not too ergonomic but not horrible.
It replaced a 10 year old canister model ( Kenmore ) that never had this much pickup power.
Well balanced and razor sharp .
Just love the Pure Guardian, just received the H4500 it cleans the air plus keeps the humidity at a good level no noise .It doesn't last as long as they say, and it's a little heavy putting a full unit back in the wht.
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.
A little bit about the seller - 2K Furniture Designs : There was one small 0-ring that I was missing when I received the product - and I contacted the seller and I received a prompt reply and a week later received two 0-rings.
Unlike some other reviewers' comments, I must say that the stainless steel does have some nicks and dents, but nothing that affects the use, only aesthetics.
I did a little research and concluded on this product.
I have called them to order spare parts for my rice cookers, and to order a spare pan for this bread machine in case I ever need it. By spare parts I mean just that - spare.
Seems extremely well made and solid and comes with that stylish and effective steel and rubber bottle stopper.
The quit pattern and magnets are not the best but for what I was using it for it works.
After reading several of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam, but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using the oven for a few weeks, I can earnestly say that we are very happy with the decision.
I had reservations as it got some low reviews but for me it is wonderful and no more throwing out half pots of coffee .
Breville products are a little on the expensive side, but in my opinion they are of good quality with nothing fancy , just basic for what you need to get done.
The length of the exhaust kit is not very long and there's no real way to lengthen it, so keep that in mind when considering to purchase this.
I was looking for an old fashioned flour sack dish towel and thought I would try these
I have smallish hands with weak grip strength and the push button mechanism for drinking is not difficult for my hand at all.
I use a fork to hold down the carrot and depending on how much pressure I use, I can make the strips thin or a bit thicker.
The set is made from a nice heavy stoneware but the wave design gives the illusion of being so delicate.
The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star rating is that the one I had used before had a drain tube which was nice.
It states that it is microfiber that feels like egyptian cotton .
For chopping and mixing, I give it a 0 (zero) and for pureeing and emulsifying, I'd give it a 3.5 .
It is surprisingly powerful for a cordless and once fully charge d seems to last quite a long time until it needs recharging.
I've had my sodastream for a few weeks now and love it.
until i bought this, i was hand-mincing garlic with a santoku-style knife, and though i love putting garlic in my food, it was so time-consuming that i didnt really want to use minced garlic anymore :S then i remembered the garlic press my mom had while i was growing up, more rounded than this one and with a pivoting hammer, but this one works very well too.
We had a West Bend breadmaker like this one for many years.
I actually bought a second one several months later .
But still I find it more convenient to just cover the food with a paper towel. You don't have to clean the paper towel, you just throw it away afterwards.
In any case, no fluffing is needed and would buy another one in a heart beat.
Our kitchen has a lot of funky, retro pieces in it and the orange matches my 70's Sears mushroom cookie jars perfectly!I've seen other reviews saying that it took too long to toast but my old toaster needed to go twice on the highest setting to get English muffins crispy and today, I put them in the new toaster, half way, and they were dark.
I also noticed that the this is made in Thailand and not Japan like my old cup was.
Like I said, it's OK but a great space saver.
Instead I recommend the Duck non-adhesive shelf liner .CONS:- very difficult to cut, especially because of the ridges- IMPOSSIBLE to clean, because of the ridges- small items are unbalanced on top of the surface because of the ridges (the ridges are definitely a negative theme here!)- hard to lay fully flat, too stiffI do not recommend.
Handy when I overfill a houseplant & need to get that dirty water off the carpet quickly.- Brushes come off so you can easily clean them.-Tank is easy to unlatch, clean & refill.-Does a good job of sucking up the cleaning water so your carpets don't get drenched & they dry faster.
They look stylish and are dishwasher safe.
This tea kettle is heavy for its size so I assume it is not too thin.
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?
I choose this fryer due to it's ease-of-cleaning and it certainly was easy as parts are easily disassembled and re-assembled.
Not having anything else to go by I feel obligated to rate the filter a 5 due to its ease of use.
I hope whoever bought it at the local Salvation Army store likes it better than I did.
The " keep warm " feature is also great since I've been making a larger pot of tea, and then coming back for refills on days and afternoons when I'm at home or on the weekends.
The Cuisinart Chef's Classic line is very affordable, and well regarded for the price (there was a review in CooksIllustrated ).
UPDATE 5/2013 : Still using this carafe daily.
For the price, I definitely recommend these!(BTW, for those wondering about ionizing units, the ionizing units release ozone , and the allergy community feels that even the small amount of ozone released can be more irritating to asthmatics than the allergens, and thus the latest recommendations say to avoid any purifier that releases ANY amount of ozone.
With the same design as the one shown here, our old model has all stainless removable parts over the white enamel motor housing.
I have the CPT-180 four -slice toaster.
Well made construction.
I used this pan the day after I received it in the mail and I could not be more pleased.
cons :I spend a lot of time trying to get the pieces to lock so I can use it .
Hamper comes as advertised and is durable (with care of course).
Was looking for an low cost Chinese Chef's knife that performs well at an affordable price.
Then one night we just laid down to watch a movie when suddenly; BOOM!
A simple twist and you can get to the dust, dirt and other grime that tends to hide between the blades.
I have been drinking pu-erh tea from the Yunnan province in China for many many years .
But they are for storing stuff , so who is really going to see it?
anyhow it's an inexpensive, very handy tool as i love to add garlic to almost everything :3 glad i bought it, though if it ever wears out i think i'll seek a slightly different design next time .
This makes muffins just like the large ones you can buy in the grocery store and the pan is really incrediable.
The model I bought six months ago just went out to the trash after months of "bickering with Bickell." I think it worked three times and Bickell's customer service people managed to talk me out of returning it until the return date had passed.
However, my disappointment would be the difficulty in trying to put the glass bottom back into the ring !
a bit tricky at first, but a breeze now3.
These are gorgeous .
I came across it at Target , and based on the price (it was around $30 on sale at that time) and the style (love the sleek design) purchased it and brought it home.
I had been looking for something to hang long necklaces on in my closet/dressing space, and I thought this would work well.
The lid has a nice seal that should prevent leakage when it's latched.
If you have a smaller spoon -- say a teaspoon or tablespoon -- this spoon rest works well.
it is so stiff .
the sock clips are a great idea, but they're made of plastic, I broke one already during installation3.
We have had this for about 6 months .
This set of cookware was great when I first started using it.
We got our first electric bill with the heater running and it was about 20 dollars less than what it would have been for December 2009.
I also like the design, which looks and feels well-balanced, and Ultraglide is a fitting name to describe its ease of use with the "slick" soleplate.
Our Gaggia Espresso machine does not fit on a counter near our sink, and this espresso stein saves us 4 trips to the sink and back, so we can brew our coffee much more quickly.
I had a set of these that I received years and years ago for signing up for a free checking account at my local bank .
It practically gleams, and the herringbone pattern seems to expand forever, save for the double row of thin bluish stitching running across the top, parallel lines that cleave the view like a railroad track crossing snow-covered prairie land in some frozen Canadian territory.
I fluff a little when making the bed, but there is no breakdown and no feathers of any kind.
With the Hoover the next day it was completely dry.
When you are done, the Dirt cup releases easy and it empties from the bottom, so just press a button and all the dirt just drops out.
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.
I am a big fan of cappuccino , and it's probably the espresso-based drink that I most frequently order when I go out to a coffee shop.
Yes, it's a little flimsy, but on the whole it's been working great for us , after several months of daily use.
If the one I have were to break, I would probably get another SI-60 just like the one I have now.
(the equiv of a super large or two medium drinks from mcdonalds or starbucks)
The rubber handle is too thick and bulky to hold comfortably, and there is not enough flex in the blade to assist with proper flipping.
These big green bags made it clear to everyone that this is where you put bottles and cans.
i'd give it 5 stars , but that intimates perfection.
I've tried grinding the beans course, fine, in between but the brew is very weak .If you like typical cafe coffee, this might be for you.
because their cheery color makes me happy!
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.
I was heating a pie shell partially before adding the filling , and because of the coating on the pans, the dough on the sides shrunk down.
They have their own website and amazon should carry this but it does not.
haven't had any problems cleaning it and i haven't had any problem with food sticking. i also like that it can go from oven to table....a good looking serving piece as well.
It's not a soft, friendly beep either, it's similar to a smoke alarm kind of beep that makes your heart race to hear it.
My husband has taken it apart and cleaned the inside out more deeply than is possible by simply opening the clean-out trap and brushes.
I have a beautiful punch bowl from Crate and Barrell .
My only complaint is the small size of the cups, and I about never use the saucers , but that's a matter of taste, and there are other sets available.
The only minus star to the cast iron pan is the almost diesel like smell no kidding that comes from the pan once it gets very hot.
The cool thing is that it really insulates the room nicely it keeps my sleep area cool
My wife and I received this as a gift to add to our 10" and 12" copper core pans.
Keep forgetting that the screw in plug doesn't need to be completely removed to pour water, you just have to twist it a bit since the plug has a liquid-canal in it.
It looks naturally aged .
My only quibble is the handle is so slick it's hard to hold and sip from without having a death grip on it.
All I wanted to put on it was some laundry soap, fabric softeners, and a little bin for lint
First of all I like the small size of the unit since it takes up little room on my counter.
But this was in a really nice box with that spongy foam stuff .....so kudos to their marketing people for the packaging!
I resurrected it this afternoon to give it another chance, this time with lemon and lime sorbet .
The color , straight out of the bag and on its own is very ... brown, and bears an unfortunate resemblence to the stuff that we have to pick up after the dogs - so this would not have been my first choice in that regard.
The base and fan parts are plastic, and the pole is metal .
I have an old home with vertical blinds that we've been talking about replacing for a few years, especially since several vanes were broken where they attach at the top.
The handle has a nice grip that doesn't get hot and is easy to hold .
I ordered these tongs to use on a buffet of appetizers.
It is made to fit nicely in the cup holder of your car , which is great for he drive back and forth.
That was more than ten years ago.
I own this frother, and it works well with the Nespresso espresso machine .
The blade that holds the vegetable was too small and the vegetable kept slipping around and falling off while trying to turn it.
We bought this tablecloth because we got tired of washing the linen tablecloth every few days.
I have tried a few things with great success (amazing job of doing julienne strips on a zucchini), and other that were complete flops ( just squished a very ripe tomato I tried to slice).
This stone does not leave my oven because I use it so much.
If this lasts through drying all of my produce this season, I will probably increase my review to 4 stars .
One con is that they do not have any other measurement on them, so the one cup only measures one cup ( I do like cups that include smaller measurements inside)The cups come together on a plastic ring , but are easily detachable.
My only problem (hence the four stars) is that the groove isn't deep enough and bacon grease tends to overflow through that hole (what is it's purpose anyway?)
We have 5 long haired dogs and a completely carpeted lower floor.
It's worth it to me to use this, even though the charge doesn't last more than 10-15 minutes .
It's made in japan and razor sharp.
I've broken every wine glass in the house.
When I got the knives, I experimented cutting not only steak and chicken breasts (which they cut beautifully) but also Muenster cheese (thin slivers) and tomatoes ( paper-thin slices ).
The 50250 , however, is exponentially more effective at eliminating cigarette smoke simply because it filters a massive amount of air.
Although I thought the lid would look great and keep dust and water from getting on the rolls, the lid has a hole in the center of it for easy on and off, so it kind of defeats the purpose of protecting the TP and again the lid has the ultra shiny chrome ring around the middle and the thin frosted plastic, so it just looks cheap and not well made.
I was going to order the more expensive pans from Williams-Sonoma until I read that USA pans also makes those pans, therefore I ordered these.
It sits atop my cat's litter box located in the bathroom and does an adequate job of controlling litter box odors between changes.
It can fit up to four toothbrushes and two razors comfortably (I was able to fit three razors, two being venuses and one being schick sp?
Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand.
It's definitely an upgrade to a standard mop, but you do get a few drawbacks: there'll likely eventually be issue using hard water in such a device, you do need to refill the water compartment a few times per use (though you use dramatically less water), and you're restricted by the electric cord.
I find way fewer " science experiments " in the back of the refrigerator!
Both worked well, needed a little more air added after a few days, both inflate and deflate quickly. I have owned other air mattresses in the past, low profile instead of the high profile of these two.
AMAZING TASTING WATER!.This is easy to use, looks great, is well constructed and fits perfectly along side Vitamix's, Kitchen Aids, Cuisine Arts and other top notch appliances.
The strap is too long to carry it as you would a shopping bag.
The more recent ones have better stitching than the earlier ones I bought.
This blender deals with ice in an incredible way, Perfection!The beautiful cookbook that comes with it makes me daydream about some of the tasty sounding recipes and I'm hoping to try some of them out, but first... another tasty beverage made in this powerful blender is in my near future.
I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off .
* I was a tad surprised that it didn't have an actual "toast" setting , but when I put it on bake for about 5 minutes, I get similar results.
My son has an allergy and cannot buy school lunches .
I already own a Wusthof Silverpoint II 6" cooks knife
The non-stick bottom , although I have been very careful to avoid scratching or damaging it has started to peel off in little bubbles.
Over the course of about 14 months, I used this juice about 6 times.
It was a lot less than the one bunk bed organizer advertised and with the safety pins, it works perfectly.
This hand held vacuum cleaner by Dirt Devil gets into tight corners of my home so that I can clean every square inch of my flooring--not to mention the moldings all the way up to the ceilings (as long as I get on a ladder)!
These have been amazing!I bought spice labels to go on the jars
The dressing cup is plenty big to hold a lot of dressing .
This Toaster Oven does everything it says it does except you can prepare toast better in the toaster .
Most of the other silicone mitts I've tried in the past, are stiff .
I like this pan a lot, and it cooks my steaks to perfection.
The edges on this blender are a little harsh: I cut my finger with the bottom of the base while getting it off a shelf, and the lid's plastic ridges are a bit sharp too.
The slatted rack/shelf on top is nice, wish it were a little bit wider - the larger lids have to stand upright/lean against the wall and can't be laid on the shelf.
Thanks to Against all Grain cookbook by Danielle , I bought this slicer to spiral zucchini into spaghetti noodles.
I am very sure that the 24 oz Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker from Natural Revolution Ltd will not disappoint you.
My wife and I received this as a gift to add to our 10" and 12" copper core pans.
It is useless with ice or frozen fruit .
I purchased these boxes to store small items in an Ikea Besta cabinet and it works perfectly for that!
It was shipped to me through Amazon Prime with no problem and was securely packed.
We use it on an electric ceramic cook top so the flatness of the bottom of the pan is critical.
My soup bowls are the perfect size and shape for this and therefore, it works perfectly.
This is outstanding cookware and the price makes it a really good value.
I, as always, wish it had a retractable cord and nowadays I prefer bagless to these with bags, but as this vacuum comes with HEPA filter bags it's a step above it's competition because of the great filtration they offer.
I made a real mess the first ime that I used it because the lid wasn't screwed on good.
After throwing away like my 4th vacuum, I decided to get a Dyson .
Be sure to clean right away and keep in top dishwasher rack away from heat.
While you are screwing in the screws someone else will have to hold the rest of the stand so it doesn't keep falling apart (because the screws weren't tight) . This product looks good when its done , but it should have been easier to put together.
I'm delighted with this coffee grinder and will be ordering a few more for gifts.
but it is definitely a lot easier than wrestling with the Dyson, which got nicknamed " The Beast " soon after its arrival.
Plus, it was clearly a used item - the packaging was repacked and the foot warmer was dirty.
I can get all kinds of wrinkles out of my clothes with relative ease, and it's so much easier to fill with water and to put away (retractable cord) than past irons that I've owned (B&D;, Sunbeam).My previous iron was a Black & Decker Digital Advantage which was an awesome iron, indeed, but it did not have the detachable water tank, nor the retractable power cord.
I added additional magnets and re-stitched the seams by hand.
I purchased a set of 16 and have one left.
These bags are really easy to use, and have been perfect, mainly because the is no loss, or any waste using them. You get to make the size you need, not what's available in the stores that zip.
"I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it just doesn't have as many options as you might expect to see in a chair in this price range .
I have a black one that came with accessories-- dough hooks, whisk, and drink mixer rod .
I had previously purchasedEureka Enviro Hard-Surface Floor Steamer,313Aand have used it for several months, however it was pretty limited in its cleaning abilities , so I was very excited to try out thisBlack & Decker BDH1800SM Handheld Steamer.
About the same time this was a lightning deal, I also bought (on sale) a dense-foam comfort mat on sale at a big-box building store .
I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion.
Then I can easily take my veggie scraps to the compost bin , rinse the basket, and proceed to chopping my veggies.
I didn't want to splurge on a wooden wine rack so I decided to try four of these instead (buy 3 get 1 free deal from Amazon seemed like great value).
Very happy with my Roomba 560 .
I had very bad experiences with those horrid cordless Dirt Devils , which lacked power and waste space.
Some regular chocolates, Hershey, Godiva, Ghirardelli and the like will need to be thinned out with vegetable oil.
I sent 2 emails, I called twice and I'm still waiting.
Will update if this changes, but great deal and no problems.
if you like regular coffee, i would go with kerug (sp) .
With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew , there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product!
I swore years ago that I would NEVER buy another Euro-Pro product because they are all JUNK .
I charged the battery as soon as I received it, and I have used it almost every night for 2 weeks and just had to re-charge the battery yesterday.
They handle the dishwasher just fine .
The first time I used it, the waffles were a beautiful golden brown .
It can be a little clunky on the steps but the ease on the rest of the floor more than makes up for it.
It also is a great way to " refresh " otherwise clean clothes that I'd normally send to the dry cleaner just to get them to hang properly again.
Much like all of the reviews we read before purchasing, we experience that the robot takes its own path appearing erratic; however, it cleans the entire floor .
This popper pops almost all of the kernals in about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes .
I have been trying unsuccessfully to get information from the manufacturer about this juicer.
My only gripe (and it is a minor gripe) is that the unit is not dishwasher safe and is a bit tedious to clean.
it actually keeps drinks hot or cold .
It does an amazing job with the Cooks Illustrated Corn Bread recipe (the one with actual corn kernels in it).
I was able to put a razor sharp edge on everything from a 30 year old chinese cleaver to my wife's expensive Henkels to a set of as-seen-on-tv "never needs sharpening" knives using this steel.
Good Luck9/21/13 after extensive use it has not warped and it's been through some heavy usage.11/25/13 and it will warp, lots of usage and it is warped, very disappointing.
Also, the flat bottom piece with the handle is plastic - which, I was at first, not happy about, but it makes a much 'softer landing' onto the top of a cup or a pot and there are tiny tabs underneath that prevent it from sliding sideways off the cup/pot.
The flap that overhangs the cup wicks the water out of the K'cup when the machine applies water pressure and the coffee leaks over the side of the cup and all through the machine.
I use it every day in the summer and spring .
The good:Using this product on a non-stick pan is perfect, because the silicone glides against the pan without any possibility of scratching.
The shape is perfect and fits nicely on the bun.
Cleaning was as simple as a sponge with a little Dawn.
First off, yup, this definitely peels apples and such and does a decent job of that.
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.
A wall stud is a must for installation as it really does pull to smash the can.
I also bought the potato peeler , both work great!
This double curved shower rod looks amazing .
It's so strong I had to hold it above my stairs because the suction was making it stick to the wood.
My kitties have clawed it a few times and it looks a little worn .
The shower curtain is translucent, but I put a black liner behind it.
I decided to gift this to my mother this week
but I have a problem with the amazon rating system .
a 1 year warranty) in the long run,
I bought this Lodge, Grill / Griddle expressly for use on a Coleman stove.
I have never felt that the old-fashioned basting brushes were all that sanitary, because you really can't clean between the bristles .
The spatula is a little stiff and the labels for the measurements on the measuring spoons and cup are hard to read.
Unfortunately, the choice of covers locally is slim .
The Emile Henry wins, however, because (a) easier clean up (b) light weight and (c) no scratches when you use a pizza slicer.
Now, I have only tile ,and low pile carpet.
Everything about this press - the build quality, the levering action that makes it easier to crush garlic (even with the skin on!)
On the plus side, though, is these are machine washable and durable - and very easy to care for.
Have two of the older 02 cool rechargeable fans in which the rechargeable batteries stopped working after 3 months (apparently overcharged!)
I've nuked a few things in it including popcorn, sandwiches and soup and everything turned out just perfect .
One suggestion though, put it on a rubber mat , though it has feet on it, slicer tends to slide on my granite.
I understand what others have written about the delicacy of the " whipping attachment ," but I don't see it as a problem.
The flower part of the assortment isnot particularly inspiring, but one of the "flowers" is ctually sun-shaped which works for me because I didn't havea sun in my fondant cutter collection.
These are heavy , not all that smooth and small, the bottom sheet fit nice and tight, but one of the corners had a hole in it.
It blends just as nicely as the ~$100 Cuisinart I previously had, but it is nothing close to the Vitamix 5200 it is temporarily replacing.
In fact, I think the coffee it makes, if you follow the directions and pour the water slowly, makes much better coffee than a French press .
They are heavy little units but work exceptionally well for back-up heat or when you don't want to run the central unit.
I've been using the dishwasher with electrasol all in 1 gel packs , no rust or stains using the heated dry cycle.
Ok, so 'Thermos' has long gone beyond being a simple brand name; most users now think of any generic insulated metal beverage container as a 'thermos' - but this little container reminds us once again of how Thermos got to be the standard.
I wouldn't recommend it if you have a tension rod, since you'll be putting bottles of fluids in it.
I needed something stylish but strong to go with a wall-mounted flat panel TV and this fit the bill perfectly.
They are a generous size and thick. My children even noticed the difference.
I have been drinking pu-erh tea from the Yunnan province in China for many many years.
Upon the first few uses, the machine constantly leaked water into the tray , AND, even more scary, is the fact that the machine turned ITSELF ON even when the power switch was OFF!
This cup in my home reminds me of grandma's cup at the pump .
It works great with soy milk too.
Have had no problems with the suction cups slipping at all.
I love Circulon pots and pans and this new addition to my kitchen is a sure keeper.
However, if you let the water sit in it for a couple of days, there is a tiny rubbery taste .I rcvd a sample for review.
They holes for the rack bar to go through are small.
I never thought I'd spend $100 for a garbage can, but alas I did not just once but twice!
The bad thing is the coating wears off.
Over a year's use the rattle became noisier and noisier.
I hate to walk to microwave to heat it up , so end up eating semi-cold lunch.
Would have felt lost and had sore arms without it) and it's in storage, so I bought this one a few weeks ago I'm back, baby, I'm back!So far, I've only used it for cakes, cookies, etc. haven't tried any of the attachments, that will be soon.
The difference is like driving a Rolls Royce vs. a Dodge Neon .
I had it one month and was back online to go back to the Braun.
I wash these by hand, just because it's easy, though they are dishwasher safe.
We recently broke our 8 inch glass Pyrex and decided maybe we'd try metal instead.
I am very mechanically challenged and even I could assemble this desk in just under 30 minutes , super easily...Amazon is a very prompt shipper and this desk probably took a day longer than what I had expected, but that was no big deal and it is just as likely that this desk did not really take long.....is just that most Amazon orders ship really really fast.
Anything smaller is a disaster (especially if you are using cheese)When using 10 inch tortillas, this quesdilla maker seals the edges when you close and lock the lid, and makes little pocket triangles.
Not to mention, the accompanying strainer costs an additional $23...So far, I've yet to come across a quality shaker like this model that has a 16 oz scale for convenience and practicality.
It doesn't leak if you screw in the top tightly.
I like these so much I think I'll get some bowls too.
A 2 liter bottle of club soda goes for .99 
I enjoy using this vacuum .
They're each 8 gallons , for a total of 16.
Anyway, glasses are good looking albeit a bit different
The only reasons I keep this over an electric version is that I appreciate anything that reduces energy usage and I don't like having extra wires around , especially in the kitchen.
I pretty much just leave it set at 450 (which will eventually get up to 350) and check every so often; otherwise, it can literally take four or five times as long to cook as expected .
Pulse is the best option- when on ON - so fast ,perhaps too fast.
I bought the Bodum Chambord 4 c. for my office and the Frieling 17 oz.
Let me preface this review by saying that I did receive this french press for free in exchange for my honest appraisal of this product.
It's pretty heavy , which will be prohibitive to my moving it up and downstairs, but it's doable, if somewhat awkward.
I bought this mitt 2 years ago at the same time as the Oxo silicon oven mitt, to see which one I liked better.
Since I already had one smaller Lasko heater and was thrilled with it, we decided to get this one on sale and give it a try.
This fan literally vibrates itself off the desk and falls over.
Open the lid, put desired amount of loose leaf tea (or ground coffee ) in, pour hot water in (I use my Keurig machine, without a KCup) seep for appropriate amount of time and then (and this is the best part), put the Ingenuitea over a coffee mug and press it down a bit.
The last one which I'd replaced, in about 30 years, I believe, once, was through Sharper Image - no more can it be found anywhere unfortunately - believe me
All of my little ice balls have nubs on them that are hard to get off from the water fill up hole.
The lid fits nice and tight and the flat base sits nicely on my cooktop without moving around like my old non-stick pots did!
I had a problem with it shutting off before the water was all pumped through.
The olive wood has lovely graining which shows up even more with oiling - mineral oil works fine.
The screen you see near the top is to keep the carbon inside the filter and not let it float out into the unfiltered water section.
I eat a plant-based diet , which means I cook a lot of rice, grains, beans and vegetables.
I wouldn't recommend leaving it in a hot pot or pan other than to work your food...
My cheapie 10 year old toaster finally stopped staying down on one side.
I got this pot because I was tired of using 5 different dishes to make stock .
It fit beautifully and the remarkable job it did on recent camping trips surprised everyone who enjoyed the end products.
Have used only the ten inch - one and given the eight-inch one to a grand daughter.
I expect to update this review later.
You see, we don't have any kids in the house anymore (not unless they come home from college !).I told him to wait and see....
The parts are easy to take apart and assemble
My husband (an allergist) has recently become very allergic to the cats .
I took two of the bags on vacation with me last year and felt none of the usual embarrassment at laundry time when I had to mix my clothes with those of my host family.
I have never baked with Silicone before, and was curious to see how well it does.
Once found it will make a very good item to donate , and I would rate this as a 'want' as opposed to a 'need'.
What an improvement over using a microwave which totally deletes the taste of pizza.
I seasoned it according to the instructions that came with the pan.
With the cool steam, I am not worried about my place catching fire from a faulty heating element.I set the dial to about 3/4 the way, and a full gallon of water lasted 3 nights.
You do have to watch the dates on the milk containers.
Recently received it and used it three times so far.
I don't like the idea of my hot coffee seeping in a plastic travel mug and absorbing those chemicals .
I was tired of the problems with vertical napkin holders .
These are very simple stylish tough glasses ..
Coffee would be super simple too as the permanent filter is a sweet plus.
I already have two bread pans by USA pans and needed some metal square cake pans.
I have use the vita mix in the blend tec I've used the Breville Hemisphere and a few others, I honestly wasn't impressed with the blend tec , the Breville wihemisphere was one of the better ones and of course the vita mix.
I love my Le Parfait jars .
Some people have express problems with the lid .
The paper is a little thinner than the box of Reynold's that I bought, but it still works as well and saves a LOT of money to boot!
Before buying these gorgeous glasses, I read a lot of reviews about how the glasses broke so easily and I just want to say that those glasses had to have been from a bad batch.
If you work in the medical industry and are that guy/girl in the office and you make yourself laugh harder than most interaction with other living things you have already purchased this mug and are only looking at prior purchases on Amazon to make yourself feel better about all the money you spent since you signed up for Prime and went on a binge of cheap crap you would never pay for in the store but since you saw it here for a few bucks...
It's only me eating the bread, so I find this size to be about right - I can eat it up before it goes stale.
Can't see inside the hopper after first couple of uses.
It is inexpensive so I was worried, but I shouldn't have been.
Fortunately, the timed grind of the Breville allows me to walk away while the grinder runs and then auto-stops.2)The grinder cannot go fine enough for either a fine espresso grind OR a coarse French press grind.
This good because you can "see" that it work and bad because you can "see" how dirty your carpet is .It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord.
I have the smaller (4.5 L) and larger (30L) Simple Human trash cans, an wanted something in between that would hold smells in well.
We've had the old kind of waffle maker and the first waffle was always a throw away.
I purchased this adjustable frame and the frame broke into two pieces in less than seven months. They obviously don't know how to weld two pieces of metal.
Overall, my rating for the Rowenta DW4060 Auto Steam Iron is 3.5 stars .
The second thing that I don't like about this iron is that it shuts off quickly - in about 3 minutes when not being used - and to reheat the iron, you have to push the control button repeatedly to get it to the hottest setting - it takes 10 pushes to get it to the "max" setting on my iron as some of the pushes don't seem to register on the electronic control.
It's a great vacuum for someone who has heavy duty cleaning needs .
Tip: Don't let the bottom of the egg rest on your little finger , the little finger should also encircle the egg.
I received this item about 6 months ago , and my fault, did not try it right away....
I like having the smaller, more flexible brushes that came with the old scrubber.
Add warm water to clean the frother and it is ready for use again.
I will keep this dish though it seems heavier because it's still nice, and I'm sure it will be useful -- but it is not as dainty as the bowls, and it's a disappointment.
I've owned the Lasko tower fan with remote control for nearly four years now.
On a positive note, it has performed flawlessly and has never given me a minute of trouble.
I had high hopes for this little oven as I am a widow and it seemed like the perfect appliance for one person .
I have used this vegetable brush for just over a year , and it still looks brand new.
Since using this purifier I have had no sinus problems, even when we are burning outside.
It doesn't get hot from boiling product due to it's two layer construction, is easy to clean with a spatula to get the last bit into a jar, blackberry juice did not stain it, and does keep jar tops clean if the 'operator' is able to set it into the next jar without bumping the top of the jar (but it sure wasn't as bad as my very old funnel).
It kept my food warm for a loooong time , and it definitely saved time(no more reheating food that's been ignored on the table!)during dinnertime.
The heater is small, and it doesn't put out many BTU's, but I think it will be adequate for me needs, and it is small enough for me to put it under the equipment cover without it being a fire hazard .
It's higher quality than it needs to be but I find that satisfying and typical of OXO products.
The push button drain feature on the Kuhn Rikon worked well for me but the locking drain feature never worked well and quickly broke.
I've always made my own yoghurt the old fashioned way for years.
The clean up is the best part with this.
Filter is good for 100 gallons of water.*The unit measures 11" high and is about 7 1/4" around, so counter top space might be an issue in smaller kitchens.*The colorful caps unscrew from the bottles but are not detachable.*Replacement filters run about $10 to $14 plus shipping.
You are short-changing the complex flavors that only hot water can extract.
My only gripe is the price .
I've had this product for several years and like it, though I don't use it much.
This just arrived, and I tested it with 4 strips of bacon and just one stand centered in the black drip pan.4 thick-cut slices of bacon took approximately 3-5 minutes of cook time.
If you make a small quantity the coffee is not as hot as many people might prefer.
However, when it comes to camping and going to the beach they are perfect for snacks, clothes, extra towels, garbage can, or whatever! We do not travel without one or two in the car anymore!
You have to hold down the button for what feels like a minute before you actually can .These are minor gripes though, and as a result I give it a solid 4 stars.
Was concerned about the height, but at just 10 1/2" high , it fits nicely in my coffee cabinet.
you have to take the eggs out individually and put them in this container.
With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew, there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product!
After the pan cools I wash it with warm, soapy water then towel dry.
12 minutes of microwave time .
As with another reviewer, the temperature was much lower than my favorite old Cuisinart which broke down after many years of daily-plus use, and the coffee cooled down in my cup before I was even halfway finished with it.
I love that this timer can countdown from a specific number of minutes/seconds and also it can time how long something takes .
I have also used it to cut spare ribs into 1/2's for making adobo.
I would have expected them to be the same since both are products of " Harold Imports ".
It seems to be high-quality wood , and looks very nice in the drawer.
I'm going to take a good look at the George Foreman GRP90WGR .
I am satisfied with the stands and how they function but one of the stands cannot be threaded into the base .
It’s labeled and being sold as a “slow cooker,” but if you only think of it as a slow cooker you’re missing the big picture.
Leaving very little space for the product meaning that you have to refill it pretty regularly .2.
We used it to replace a worn box spring for a guest bed .
I loved the big hoover with a bag but my wife kept giving them away because she couldn't muscle it around.
This was suggested to me by a restaurant that does wheatgrass and, I concur, it's a real winner.
I have limited counter space in my apartment so it is a plus to be able to easily trash peelings, packaging etc while I am cooking.
For now with the more limited use of this scrubber I'll reserve my 5 star KUDOS after a year from now.
With the same design as the one shown here, our old model has all stainless removable parts over the white enamel motor housing.
This was suggested to me by a restaurant that does wheatgrass and, I concur, it's a real winner .
I am the unfortunate owner of a Kitchenaid 11 cup processor (I rated the Cuisinart 5 stars, but I really do not know).
so thanks lodge I live for cast iron now!
We just bought a mid range tempur pedic bed which is great, but my wife weighing only 120 lbs doesnt really sink into the bed like I do at 180 lbs and she has been complaining that her back is more sore than on our old spring pillow top mattress which was giving me horrible back pains.
This set of coasters ended up being pretty useless for us.
They fold up well, with the panels in the bottoms and the handles inside the bags.
If I could send it back I would .
I really wanted this to work so I could make nice, golden crepes .
It simply makes baking easy and fun .
Personally, I have had absolutely no difficulties in getting even the most recalcitrant frozen deserts to cry uncle when confronted with this scoop - the jackhammer of ice cream scoops.
Then, after grinding about two cups of beans (we keep a few days worth of the ground beans in an airtight container), it completely stopped working.
I think a little inferior workmanship .
use it in many places instead of foil , its a great product.
Even so, with the added 60-day satisfaction guarantee and 3-year warranty from the remanufacturing company (" BuyHappier "), I don't think I will be unhappy at all.
So you might want to try it for other things than the 3D cake .
Downsides first, it is probably the reported 17 ounces .
I've had a $600+ set of Wusthof Classic knives for five years and had been using the sharpening steel that came with the set.
I am pleased with the Omron scale.
can thrill a person, this paper towel holder is as exciting as any paper towel holder can be!
Havent tried it on bagels yet, so perhaps that setting will be better for thicker, ie: closer to the element cooking.
I like the colors ( pink and yellow on a light tan background )
Pretty trash can to go with the rest of my stainless steel kitchen !!
3 Stars because one stand is defective, but I still recommend these because they look great and function well for the price.
Easy to ue, big display, count-up feature, loud/long "done" signal.... just the best.
I decided not to receive it, since I have a cat that jumps on my furniture, and I don't want it coming down and hurting him.
The timer is good it does not cut the whole unit when done like was stated by another user.made "dounut holes" for a Sunday morning coffee at church .
I just wanted to contribute that the coffee is just as hot and strong as when I used to make it.
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.
just to add on to all the good reviews this is a fantastic dutch oven I kicked it off by seasoning it again because yes people the seasoning is not stellar mine actually looked grey a bit still so in the oven it went but after that little time killer the fun began I made a roasted chicken with lemon rosemary and onion with garlic it was amazing how well this thing cooked it, literally so juicy and tender it fell off the bone..
I also love that these are made in America .
The most annoying thing about it though, is the base doesn't stay on, this is a terribly poor design, any time I go to pick it up the base falls off, and I have to grab that and bring it with me.

Just as with anything else, adding something NOT LIQUID into the liquid will slow the blending down a bit, and I would think that the strength of your batteries plays a part in this as well.

The way it is designed with the metal prong on the side of it does not stay stable on the pot.
The magnet is strong enough for a keychain with maybe 3 keys and nothing else.

If you buy these I suggest you test it on each use; grasp it by the rim and lift the bottle, making sure it doesn't slip out .
Bought these as a gift for a couple moving from the deep south to Chicago .
I have had two of these from Amazon the first one the base didnt work at all, this one the base is like 90% working... there is a screw you are supposed to attach to the swivel part of the base but if you do it properly it wont swivel, so I left it off and it swivels "good enough".
My only reservations with these is that you really need at least two sets to use them for their intended function, at which point they are getting expensive for standard "Made in China" quality .
I bought this because I didn't want to get on my hands and knees and scrub floors..........no, the vacuum part does not work particularly well, but the cleaning and drying are nothing short of spectacular.
I put my dryer sheets and detergent at the bottom of the hamper , however, because the hamper isn't heavy enough by itself to hold up if there are only a few pieces of clothing in the hamper with the detergent and dryer sheets on the side pocket.

The Rowenta vacuum is wonderful for small areas.

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?

Had to return to get replacement. Otherwise it works great.
It seems to be durably made so I hope that means it will last me forever!

I bought one for my wife last year, now I bought one for my granddaughter. Amazon really outdid it this time.

The sensors are the 'feet' of the scale, so if I were to carry it in my knife bag, I expect it would break quickly .
This clothes butler is a nice surprise - very stable and surprisingly sturdy .
The mat has a bad smell out of the package.
My only regret is that I didn't buy two of them !
Incidentally, I paid $79.99 and see it has gone up significantly in price at Amazon in just these few weeks.
I like the bright colors .
Overall, this was the best $80 I've ever invested in my culinary education!
Next time I'll invest in a new Starbucks insulated travel mug which is user friendly and does the same thing that this product does.
The plastic binders are hard brittle pieces and the whole thing just falls apart within weeks under normal circumstances.
THAT IS EXTRAORDINARILY FRAGILE AND BREAKS FOR NO APPARENT REASON .I love Bodum Coffee Presses .
NOT at all removable with even the best of cleaners.**************recipe for Gingerale [ no milk no egg] very good - 2 cups
I first purchased the NuWave and loved it until the plastic dome started cracking.
LOTS AND LOTS of loose threads discovered while unpacking the sheets.
I have used Braun products for years.
Easy setup, ease of use, automatic shut off which make the safety team happy, 48-ounce removable water reservoir holds up to eight cups of water which is no problem because the "water club" and filtered water is literally two steps away.
Our kitchen is a little small so there's not too much space to use it (but that's the fault of our kitchen not the product).I didn't find it to be any different (cooking-wise, speed-wise) than using a regular cooktop but it has the added bonus of being safer and using less energy .
Will monitor the purifier and advise later if I see noticeable improvement.
And it looks like a fun way to make cute cookies , but you can't use just any recipe since a soft consistency of the dough is important to getting it to work properly.

THERE IS AMPLE SIDE & BOTTOM EDGE "HANG-DOWN" ....I USE IT UNDER A QUILT WITH BEDSKIRT
We just bought a mid range tempur pedic bed which is great, but my wife weighing only 120 lbs doesnt really sink into the bed like I do at 180 lbs and she has been complaining that her back is more sore than on our old spring pillow top mattress which was giving me horrible back pains.

I purchased it to go with a few other odd sized Farberware pieces I was given and it matches perfectly!
I really like it .
CONS:- very difficult to cut , especially because of the ridges- IMPOSSIBLE to clean, because of the ridges- small items are unbalanced on top of the surface because of the ridges (the ridges are definitely a negative theme here!)- hard to lay fully flat, too stiffI do not recommend.
The price was great and after 6 months of daily morning and night use it has held up very well .
The ones I bought at the store have a removable gasket .
It seemed cheaply made and had a weird smell .
as easy to crank as any other manuel.
Okay, I have spilled the bucket a few times when I pulled it out--find it a bit awkward to handle--but at least the appliance turns off if I forget to empty it.
Easy to load, produces lots of ground pepper quickly, fits will into the hand - although a little too slick if one's hands aren't perfectly dry .
So I'm a little worried whenever I wash this pot.
After the chicken was finished cooking, and the pan had cooled, the warp was gone, and the pan back to its normal flat .
I purchased this item from mendingshed.com and noticed it was thinner than the one I was replacing .
I love tea and am able to make the best cup of tea, ok I use 3 tea bags as I love it strong ...but it really is perfect every single time I use it!
I ran aboout 3 tanks of water through it, and left it open overnight (actually two days while I got filters) before making any coffee and there is no plastic taste or smell.
I do not like this sifter at all because it starts out sifting while using the spring action handle and then it stops sifting after a few pulls and you end up having to shake the sifter to get the flour out.
Recvd in excellent condition and very attractive.
The one downside is that the press does little to no insulating, meaning your coffee gets cold fairly quickly .
I love the Magic Butter Machine .
I found it easy to clean-remember to oil the gasket for good seal and long seal life.
While it works good, it leaves the nut milk a bit too gritty for my taste.
I have had my FD5 dehydrator for about 16 years.
It's a little small and doesn't afford a lot of room, but can still get a two scoop of protein mix shake done.

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.

The wall gets warm but not too warm , I can touch the panel
We just bought a mid range tempur pedic bed which is great, but my wife weighing only 120 lbs doesnt really sink into the bed like I do at 180 lbs and she has been complaining that her back is more sore than on our old spring pillow top mattress which was giving me horrible back pains.
If u don't drink ALL that 23 CUPS in a day or two.
Plus I went to the Hamilton Beach site and it has a 2 year warrenty to fix or replace.
I always preheat any thermos with boiling water and put the cap on and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before putting hot coffee in.
I use at least two of them every day!
Overall though I am pleased with the purchase.
I would not recommend this model to any consumer that would like a properly working coffee maker.
I am pleased with the coffee maker, but not with Mr. Coffee .
Wusthof knifes are the best knifes made as far as I can tell.
Still need to use a lot of strength to squeeze the potatoes through as well as doing it in many batches for 2.5 lbs potatoes.
We bought this cover for our mattresses at home .
It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have.
I really need to put my lunch in by 9am if I want it at the right temp for lunch.
Leave it to OXO Good Grips to come up with this clever solution to an annoying problem.
It is difficult to grate cheese; had to apply a lot of pressure and as a result the cheese got warm in my hand and became soft and mushy .

Purchased two of these for both of the guest bathrooms in the house

When you strain the oil/butter, I recommend using good quality cheesecloth and RSVP Endurance Conical Strainer , 5"Sold by River Road here on Amazon.
I got the glass lid
no pot to clean .
It's double-walled stainless so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented).
If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!!
I have a smaller cast iron dutch oven , but I wanted something bigger for soups and stews and braised ribs and so forth.
Air Condition unit is nice but trying to fit the window panels for the hoses did not work with my window, I was disappointed, had a air condition company come in to assist but after many attempts, just would not fit my windows, so I had to return the unit.
I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have.
Just as with anything else, adding something NOT LIQUID into the liquid will slow the blending down a bit, and I would think that the strength of your batteries plays a part in this as well.
I like this one because the mesh at the bottom forms such a good seal that very little of the grinds make their way past it .
I have received a ZeroWater pitcher and filters to facilitate my review.
I still haven't given up the stainless scruffy one we've used for over 14 years but I'm working on it.
I was afraid this was going to be a bugger to put together and use , but I was wrong.
This warmer keeps my coffee warm, but not as warm as I would like.
It is long enough to cut through a small pizza without repositioning but a larger pizza will need you to slice, and shift to get the whole thing cut across.

I've upped my rating from 1 to 3 stars.

it's silicone it will have a little slimy feel unless you soak it in a detergent , but you dont have to.
I can’t think of anything I bake that is over 450 degrees; these are safe up to 480 .I have been using them with tater tots or things that leave a lot of grease left over on the pan.
The keys to getting good results are:1) Use symmetrical Apples or Potatoes 2)
But after just a few months of casual use, the non-stick coating has begun to come off all along the upper edge .
We make dough in a bread maker at least once or twice a week .
I always felt that the traditional napkin holder is one of those products you just can't really improve on, much like the paper clip.
It died while making cookie dough .
it's also a little more stable and slim lined so less likely to be knocked off the fridge and broken like our last timer.
I am only writing one review on these pans.
I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer.
I searched and searched for an inexpensive timer to replace the 3-way one I had for years and loved.
To sum it up--animal fur on furniture is no longer a problem, powerful sweeper and suction-carpeted stairs are now a breeze to clean, even great suction along the edges-the reuseable filter is very durable and very easy to clean-very well designed, feels very balanced, cord storage is excellent-easily switch to hose and crevice tool, and it has great suction as well-glides effortlessly across flat surfacesThis little guy is so handy, I will sometimes get on my hands and knees and do a guick spruce up of the entire living room.
The second use of the machine, the handle fell off .
I didn't want to run up my electric bill when it wasn't really that hot
I still need a good iron for those last minute wrinkles in formal wear or for a fabric project. This t-fal seems to be sturdy with all the features I want as for adjusting the heat and steam and with the added protection of the nonstick bottom which lets the iron even at its hottest just glide over the fabric (you do need to use only low heat on many synthetics though).It is a good iron for the fabric worker and homemaker and others using materials/fabric, such as cotton, rayon, some silks on low etc.
I gave it only 4 stars because of a potential safety issue - the second time I used this mixer I forgot to plug it in - I'd pushed the ON button & the speed button before I realized that it wasn't plugged in & when I plugged it in the mixer immediately began to run (spattering cake batter everywhere!).
The quality of the mesh seems cheap and I'm almost afraid it's some kind of cheap, dangerous metal and not something safe to be steeping in hot water.
A BROWN MILK CASE !
I have to remove the fruit and stuff piece by piece every couple hours because some areas dry much mroe quickly.
