Question: What is it perfect for displaying?

Answer: baked creations

I love this item. It is perfect and beautiful. The best part is, its plastic. First let me quantify my delight, I am a mom of 3 boys under 5 years old who love to help themselves. With this cake plate I don't have to worry about it being too heavy or shattering under little hands. <hl> Its perfect for displaying your baked creations on the dining room table or you want to take your treats pool side. <hl> This is ideal for parties - desserts, crudites, cheese platters, trifle and so much more. I must admit though I don't think I would use it for punch. I tested it with water and it seems fine but with my rambunctious crew its not the smartest move. Perfect for mom with little ones who love to bake.

Question: How long has the item been used?

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

Question: What is being held?

I ordered this basket because I wanted a decorative way of keeping all my cosmetics by my couch so I can take my make up off while watching tv in the evening, before bed. I just like to do my routine with creams, lotions etc while in the living room and with so many bottles, cotton pads etc, it could look messy on a shelf or on a side table. This little basket does the job perfectly - it's the ideal size to hold all of my items and is very sturdy, has a very stylish look, the brown blends in with my furniture and so having cosmetic bottles in my living room doesn't look nearly as odd! Also, I like the handles, allows me to transport the basket around with ease. I can imagine using this basket and the same set in different sizes for a million things in the apartment, so I will definitely be ordering more. Highly recommend!

Question: Why did you buy this beater for your 6 quart mixer?

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. The rubber on the edges scrape the sides of the mixing bowl to ensure that everything gets mixed in evenly. Even though it's plastic, it seems durable, in addition to being dishwasher safe. Be aware that the first few rotations around the mixing bowl, the beater will squeak until there is enough lubrication on the rubber for it to glide around smoothly, and it will do this pretty much every time. Other than that, I love this beater!

Question: Is the product size as advertised?

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. They list as being effective from -40F to +560F and reusable 3000 times, so you can use them in the freezer, to bake roasts on, cookies...about everything.

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. <hl> They list as being effective from -40F to +560F and reusable 3000 times, so you can use them in the freezer , to bake roasts on, cookies...about everything. <hl>

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

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

Question: How long did it take to install?

I needed something stylish but strong to go with a wall-mounted flat panel TV and this fit the bill perfectly. Installation was a snap as the wall stud was centered behind the TV, and I had installed the whole thing in less than 15 mins. What I don't like are the cable covers - they're OK if you only have 2-3 sets of cables and the shelves are distanced enough to give you room to install the covers. 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. The only thing I could do was zip-tie the cables, then place the covers between the shelf support and the cables - the pressure from the cable bunch held the cover in place - trying to snap it into place would be impossible. Overall though, an excellent unit. Highly recommend.

Question: What was your man reason for buying this food scale?

After quite unsuccessfully trying to limit my inhuman food portions, I bought a food scale. I actually first bought a different food scale. It was a cheap old fashioned scale that seemed to do the job just fine. After a couple months of use, I noticed myself tapping the scale, moving the items around, and it dawned on me. I was still cheating my portions!!! It was subconscious; I had developed habits that made the scale weigh the items lighter than they really were. Plus, when you are talking one ounce portions of crackers, the accuracy is just way off with those old fashioned scales.Thus, I finally bit the bullet and coughed up the extra cash for this digital scale. It was an eye opening experience. I compared the two and the old scale was off by whole ounces. That is huge when it comes to dense calorie foods. Moral of the story is that if you are serious about portion control, you need this scale - not just a scale - THIS scale. It is the only thing that keeps me in check.

I was still cheating my portions!!! It was subconscious; I had developed habits that made the scale weigh the items lighter than they really were. Plus, when you are talking one ounce portions of crackers, the accuracy is just way off with those old fashioned scales. Thus, I finally bit the bullet and coughed up the extra cash for this digital scale. It was an eye opening experience. I compared the two and the old scale was off by whole ounces. <hl> That is huge when it comes to dense calorie foods . <hl> Moral of the story is that if you are serious about portion control, you need this scale - not just a scale - THIS scale. It is the only thing that keeps me in check.

Question: What do you need to use to make this filter last 5 years?

This is a no frills HEPA air filter in terms of its aesthetic: it's an efficiently designed rectangle, and though it's not snazzy on the outside, it's not offensive or obtrusive either.It sits in my home office, and does its thing quite well: cleansing the air, and overall improving the living conditions in a space in which I spend entirely too much time.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. I noticed an improvement in the way I was feeling shortly after the unit was put into operation.The unit, though not cheap, is a particularly reliable model and is extremely cost-effective to operate over time. As any one who has done the research can tell you, the true expense with HEPA filters is not necessarily the up-front purchase cost, but the cost of replacement filters over the course of the years. Austin's design is one they stand behind with a 5 year warranty, and a filter rated at needing replacement once every 5 years... yes, you read that right. All you need do in order to achieve this longevity is to vacuum the pre-filter every few months. This is accomplished by running a bristled vacuum wand over the outer surface grating. It's simple. It really is: set a reminder in your calendar to run the vacuum over it and you're safe.The unit doesn't take up a lot of room, though it does produce a fair bit of sound in 2 of its 3 settings. 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. To give you an idea of what I'm trying to say, while you likely wouldn't have a hard time sleeping with setting 1, you might with setting 2, and you DEFINITELY would with setting 3. Of course, everyone's mileage varies and I'm using words to describe an audible volume, which is not the same as hearing it yourself. As I said earlier: it's in my office, not my bedroom, so I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with its performance.If you're looking for a bedroom model, you might look into an Alen A350 HEPA Air Purifier (wall mountable and quieter.)
