Question: Who makes the Earth Pan?

I am picky about pans, and while hardly a "chef" , I know quality when I see it. A pan needs weight and balance, and (one hopes) a great design - you cant do better than the Earth Pan by Ozeri. Really.I have been a fan of USA based Whitford, and their coatings for decades, dating back to the seemingly indestructible "Excalibur" coating from the 1990's.I even inquired to Whitford, asking what is their current top-of-the-line coating-- guess what? It is "Eterna". If you are out and about to cooking stores, department stores, or even on-line -- "Eterna" is top-tier, frequently with eye-popping prices!The Ozeri version is probably nicer than some of the pansI say at more than double the price. The balance, the feel and form is outstanding. (Of course, the packaging is high-end, too - making it the PERFECT gift).I recently bought my senior parents an induction set up, and knew that if there is anyone MORE PARTICULAR about practical use/great quality pan's it is Mom. And Dad like his omelets!Over the Thanksgiving holiday we gave the pan some big time tests:Worked perfectly on induction!Made the best stuffing/dressing ever!Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwiches- A breeze!Dad's special "loaded" omelet - (and I quote ) "This is the best pan I have ever used"!A stir-fry that we added to a salad- perfection, nothing sticks, and everything cooks perfectly!If the Ozeri Earth Pan can pass the "senior-stress-test" with this kind of ease, I know most anyone would love this pan- be it a single, seniors, someone in college, or even in the military, overseas or where ever. The perfect "everyday" solution! A gift that will be used!Lastly, Mom ( late 70's) said she wanted to order one, too. I said - you have one , it's yours! ( she bought a few for her friends during the holiday season). It's THAT good.Really top-notch product, with best-in-class construction, and probably the most affordable pan with Whitford's "Eterna" coating.

Question: How did the author obtain his first Kitchen Aid mixer?

The first KitchenAid stand mixer I had was inherited from my mom and dad and they got it for their wedding in 1956. It finally pooped out on me in 2001. That beauty had steady hard work from the beginning with my mom and it continued to work hard for me at least twice a week until it expired. I was gifted with a new one that same week (*whew! 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. Unbelievable array of attachments/equipment, these mixers do SO much more than just mix my cookies! I will be grinding meat, but also whole fresh oranges and nuts and dried fruit with the meat grinder attachment. Pasta with the pasta attachment, and I haven't begun to explore the rest of the goodies!

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. <hl> Unbelievable array of attachments/equipment , these mixers do SO much more than just mix my cookies! <hl> I will be grinding meat, but also whole fresh oranges and nuts and dried fruit with the meat grinder attachment. Pasta with the pasta attachment, and I haven't begun to explore the rest of the goodies!

Question: What did you purchase this pan with?

I purchased this in conjunction with a bread maker. I am much happier with this than the bread machine. As long as I make the dough correctly this pan does the job! I have made some french baguettes with this that are better than the ones they sell at Whole Foods and Hannafords(a local supermarket chain). Make sure that you place the dough in the pan for its last rise so you don't deflate it moving it over before cooking. Also, make sure to slice it down the middle or in strips across the top, the top strips work better for me, this is to let it expand properly when cooking. I recommend this pan!

Question: What type of beaters does this vacuum have?

I bought this vacuum on the recommendation of a major consumer product review organization; while two vacuums had higher ratings, this one cost about half as much. For the most part, I am glad I did not spend the extra money.First and foremost, it has adequate power for the job and the rotary beaters are efficient. I had used an old Hoover for over 12 years and thought I was getting my carpet clean, I was deluded. The difference in the looks of the carpet was immediately apparent. The Eureka was far more effective. Secondly, it is clean. It uses a traditional replaceable bag to collect dust but has a HEPA filter over the exhaust port to collect fine particulate. There was no fine dust in the air or dust smell. The accessories mount on the body of the vacuum, but while convenient they are not completely secured. The brush falls off occasionally. It is very easy to shift from floor cleaning to the hose attachments; you simply turn the handle of a valve on the upper body of the vacuum. The extensions are long enough to reach an 11 ft ceiling. Shifting to different carpet pile heights is also easy and convenient.The consumer organization gave two reasons for not giving this vacuum a top rating. First they said it was not the as easy to maneuver as it might be. This is true; other vacuums are easier to shove about and this one is not power assisted. They also dinged it for being noisier than the two more expensive vacuums. While this is probably true, after the ol' Hoover I was delighted at how quite it was. Also making it quieter would affect the price. The plastic of the body could be a bit more rugged but again this would increase the price. My home is small; if you really spend a lot of time behind a vacuum, you probably want to spend a bit more. This lack of rugged construction probably explains the huge variability in the product reviews. Caveat emptor - the instructions advise calling Eureka customer service and NOT taking the machine back to the place where you purchased it if it is defective. This could be a problem. And - some assembly required.All-in-all, good vacuum, value for money.

Question: How big is the digital pocket scale?

The American Weigh SC-2KG Digital Pocket Scale is one of the best purchases I ever made. It's even better than I expected. It's small enough to slip into my kitchen drawer when I'm not using it. It's less than 5 inches X 4 inches X less than 1/2 inch high. It has a 4 inch square weighing platform. It's beautifully finished stainless steel with 4 different weight modes, and a particularly easy to read blue lit display. It's so easy to use and store. 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.

Question: Are these nightstands easy to put together?

Seriously I shopped around for night stands that would look great in our room and wouldn't break my pockets. I bought two of these stands and received them yesterday. I did not expect to take so much time putting them together!!! Seriously it took two people to do it. When putting this stand together do NOT tighten the screws until all the outside pieces are on because if you do the last piece (front one) will not fit. It took forever to try and figure out the issue. 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. OH not to mention one of the stands are wobbly; like what is going on! I shop on Amazon faithfully and I am very disappointed.

Question: How well does this slice guide work?

I am just start to enjoy home-baked breads using breadmaker. Slicing a loaf can be hit and miss, often with slanted slices that are either thick at the top, thin at the bottom, or vice versa! They are the joke of the consuming members of the family. Too ugly to serve!Then I found this very attractive slice guide. But the positives ends there. It was disappointing when I start to use it:1. Slice is either too thin or too thick (skipping a slot). 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. The alternative is to cut a piece and take it out, then cut next piece - which defeats the purpose of this.2. Does not catch crumbs, so when using it on kitchen island, I get tons of crumbs to clean up after3. For high rising loaf, which is very typical for 2 pound loafs and often with 1.5 pound if yeast had a good rise, one must "eye ball" align and pray cutting in will result in knife go into the slot. This is a real skill! The other way is to rotate the loaf 90 degrees if the rised loaf did not rise too high.The above problems occur for SOFT BREADs, like the one I buy from super markets. So a premium bread knife is absolutely required. Short or dense breads are get better slicing results, but that is not the type of bread my family likes.I don't mind spending more money as long as it's value justify the price. From the build quality and esthetics, it's top notch and very "gourmet". But I highly question the designer's choice for such thin gap, unless it's really for dense breads. There are a lot of us only prefer real soft breads, and the slices are just too thin (or too thick) for the soft breads.
