Question: Does the peeler work on apples?

I'm not supposed to have apple skins anymore. Believe it or not, they make me sick. So much for 'an apple a day.' So I thought I'd give this peeler a try. First off, yup, this definitely peels apples and such and does a decent job of that. Only problem is, there's a good third of the apple that it can't peel. Apples are basically round, and the blade on this can only follow that curvature for so long before it's just ineffective. So I gotta use a knife to peel away the third that this machine can't. Well, that just creates an extra step and extra mess, and takes up extra counter space for a product that only does 2/3 of the job I need it to do. If I gotta peel 1/3 of my apples by hand, then I may as well peel the whole thing. Sent this thing back, pronto.

Question: What color is the dresser?

In the photos, this dresser looks great. Sleek black color, and looks to be high quality construction. I expected to get at least Ikea furniture quality, but overall, I would say Ikea furniture would be slightly better quality than this dresser. If you want solid wood construction, this probably isn't the dresser for you. While it is made of wood, I had 1 piece of wood shatter on me when I was putting a screw into a pre-drilled hole on the dresser. The wood just cracked when the screw started going into the pre-drilled slot for it.The replacement piece took about 3 weeks to get to me but thankfully, unlike other reviewers I got the correct piece the first time. Also of note, the sliders are all made of plastic. I am unsure how this will affect the durability and life-span of this drawer, but I would've preferred metal sliders for the price. Putting the dresser together can be confusing because some parts of the instructions aren't clear. Aside from that, the biggest annoyance, when you pull out the dresser, you lose about 1/3 of the space because that part of the dresser does not pull out and stays inside due to the design of the sliders. This bothers me to no end as finding clothing I stuffed into the back of the drawer is difficult. I have noticed some higher priced dressers at Ikea do not suffer from this problem.Overall, you get a sleek black dresser that takes about 40 minutes for the layman to put together. Outside the major annoyance with how much space won't be visible this dresser is a decent value.

Question: What shape was the banana slicer?

When my wife told me she had purchased a device to slice bananas for my cereal, I was really quite excited. I have always felt strangely uncomfortable when handling bananas, though I do love eating them. However, when the product arrived I couldn't believe my eyes. I was completely shocked and appalled by the phallic design of this kitchen product. Couldn't they have made a banana shaped slicer that isn't shaped like male genitalia? I am completely repulsed and disgusted. What do they think I am, some kind of pervert?

Question: What do these work for?

These work really well for muffins and cupcakes. They're sturdy, and can stand up on their own. They can take plenty of heat, but they can also go into the freezer without a problem. Getting even still warm muffins or cupcakes out of these is no problem at all. Clean up is easy...whatever you've put in these comes right off without any scrubbing. They easily go into the dishwasher, even when you don't have a whole lot of room, they're so flexible, they fit just about anywhere. Then, they bounce back to their original shape with no problem. I also like the fact that you're not using up a lot of paper cupcake cups, so, they're environmentally friendly, too!

Question: What country does their daughter travel to?

We had a generic rice maker/steamer for a long time.Sometimes the rice came out soggy and sometimes too dry. My daughter frequently travels to Japan and wanted to enjoy the same types of rice here that she experienced in Japan. I called Zojirushi and spoke with someone there who helped me to pick out the best model for our purposes and we love it.We also wanted to purchase one that was manufactured in Japan and she told us which ones were. While we support American made products, in this case we wanted to help the country that has been so devastated by the Tsunami, floods and earthquakes beyond what we have experienced. There are also some models that are made in the US if you prefer that.So far I have cooked Sushi rice, white medium rice and brown Gaba rice in it. Every time the rice comes out beautifully done. I love that you just set it and forget it. You can set it to time delay start too. I get a kick out of the fact that when it starts and finishes it plays a musical tune. It makes me grin every time. However if the tune annoys you - you can reprogram it to a beep. The rice maker itself is fairly small, low profile and looks classy with it's stainless steel exterior.It is easy to clean. I am 100% pleased with the product and can highly recommend it. Someone else mentioned that they didn't like the "large" cord.. that didn't bother me at all.

Question: When did they give an updated review?

These lids are THICK compared to others & the price was more reasonable. They work & I feel I got my money's worth. I just wish there were more sizes avail.Update 1/4/14 - When I went to remove a regular lid for one of my pans from my shelf, one of these blue lids was stuck to it. I pulled the two lids out, and the blue "silicone" lid had to be peeled off, thus leaving some of the "silicone" stuck onto my pan lid. Hmmm, it makes me wonder if these Rachel Ray lids are very good after all. I checked thru the description & can't find the word "silicone" so maybe they're not. I'm calling the mfr for warranty & will update review.

Update 1/4/14 - When I went to remove a regular lid for one of my pans from my shelf, one of these blue lids was stuck to it. I pulled the two lids out, and the blue "silicone" lid had to be peeled off, thus leaving some of the "silicone" stuck onto my pan lid. Hmmm, it makes me wonder if these Rachel Ray lids are very good after all. I checked thru the description & can't find the word "silicone" so maybe they're not. I'm calling the mfr for warranty & will update review.

These lids are <hl> THICK <hl> compared to others & the price was more reasonable. They work & I feel I got my money's worth. I just wish there were more sizes avail.Update 1/4/14 - When I went to remove a regular lid for one of my pans from my shelf, one of these blue lids was stuck to it.

Question: What did this person buy?

Just received the Progressive International Powdered Sugar Keeper and am so glad I did! Powdered sugar is always messy (for me at least) regardless of how I've stored it in the past. This keeper is the perfect size for a standard box of powdered sugar with a little room on top to scoop out without it spilling over the top. It is well made, the seal is airtight and having the shaker built in is great!I've just recently discovered the Progressive line and am really happy with all their products so far.

Question: What did this person buy?

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). Easy to make toast, however, it can only do two large pieces of bread at once, one on each rack. I had to put felt pads under the feet since the feet material made little black marks on my white corian type countertop. Easy to clean crumb catcher - just empty it a lot since it is a simple small pull out tray. DON'T try to take out the racks to put in the dishwasher like the pamphlet says is possible - or your toaster is toasted. We like ours a lot and it is well constructed and doors and racks glide in and out effortlessly. I may buy a couple more for my daughters to use too.

Question: How much did they order?

I've ordered two separate shipments of two boxes each, and all have arrived in perfect, unbroken condition. I used them for my spices, and unlike another reviewer, found they perfectly fit a U.S. standard size spice jar (e.g., McCormick's). The trick is: tap the jar a few times to settle the contents, then you'll have room for the rest of what's in the jar from the grocery store.I labeled the tops of these with clear spice labels (Spice Bottle Labels (set of 84) - Clear (0.5"h x 2"w)) and was able to fit 48 bottles in my drawer. Yes, that's a LOT of spices, but I'm an avid home cook trying to replace sodium with herbs and spices so a wide selection is essential.

Question: What will happen if you are continuously exposed to melamine?

I looked up Melamine and found this warning:"Melamine is described as being "Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Chronic exposure may cause cancer or reproductive damage.
