Question: What is used as a thickener?

Answer: both eggs and cornstarch

Since I bought a set of these molds, I've made 6-8 different varieties, and they're all delicious, but as others have said, I'm learning what I like. The Key Lime popsicle recipe from Fany Gerson's Paletas is fabulous. It was my first batch, and it worked so perfectly that the minor issues I had with other batches came as something of a shock. I used Fat Free Sweetened condensed milk because that's what I had in the house, and it worked fine. Rules to keep in mind:1) if the mixture is slightly thick even before it is frozen, the sticks won't shift around as much as they freeze, so the top will be easy to remove. Mixtures that are cooked (custards, cornstarch mixtures) work really well.2) Not using the lid at all works fine, but you need to let the mixture get slushy before putting in sticks, or use something to brace the sticks in place as the mixture freezes. (I've used binder clips, but saw someone's blog using wooden clothes pins)3) So far, all the custard based ice cream mixtures I've tried have worked fine. <hl> Thickened with both eggs and cornstarch , (and a bit of guar gum, my addition) they have a good texture once frozen.4) I bought guar gum to use as a thickener, and I guess it helps, the plain fruit ones I made are easier to eat than the ice cubes on a stick I thought they'd be.5) <hl> For really rich mixtures (key lime pie popsicles), I find this portion size to be just a bit large. It really feels indulgent to eat so much. On the other hand, it's very satisfying, so I haven't yet bought any of the smaller sized molds I've seen. Kidco Healthy Snack Frozen Treat Traysfor example. Look good, haven't bought any, yet.6) Portion-wise, the recipes from Paleta seem to fill my molds with just enough, no extra. The one-quart ice cream recipes seem to make a bit extra, but I have a smaller set of ice pop molds, only makes 4, that works fine to hold the extra. (They're these:Sip-A-Pop Ices Mold Holder7) I put the mold on a quarter sized sheet pan that I've covered with foil. When I unmold, I put the popsicles on the foil and put it back in the freezer to help the outside set up a bit.8) I fill a dishpan with HOT water and dip the mold in that for 20-30 seconds before I try to remove them. For some ice pops, that's enough to get them loose, others need more persuasion. Favorite flavors so far: Mint Ice cream, Key Lime Popsicle, Roasted banana with cinnamon, rum and brown sugar, Fresh Strawberries with lemon peel and yogurt, Fudgesicles (love the one from Smitten Kitchen, the recipe is small, so makes just 4), Fudgesicles with cinnamon, cayenne, coffee and almond extract. The ones I made with plain fruit (canteloup, watermelon) were just okay, but let's face it, they're just fruit with a bit of citrus, basically frozen fruit on a stick. I guess I like my flavor blends just a bit more complex. I think the watermelon in particular could have used more thickening before freezing. As they froze, some of them settled out, ice on the bottom of the mold, foam on top. The Ultimate Ice Cream Book: Over 500 Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, Drinks, And MoreI'm looking through my old cookbooks for ideas, a lot of frozen desserts would likely translate well to popsicle form. The Fannie Farmer Cookbook (edition published in 1979) looks quite promising, as does this one:Frozen Delights

Question: What can you grind into the base?

We first tried these at a friend's dinner party, and immediately ordered a set as a gift and one for ourselves. You can grind the salt or pepper into the base, then measure it out (great for cooking), or take off the base and grind it right onto your meal. You can adjust the grind, too.Everyone who's tried them enjoys them. A great gift and a fun way to salt and pepper your food. (Another plus: there's really no flavor difference between fresh- and pre-ground salt, but this grinder prevents the potential problem of clumping salt in humid weather!)

Question: From whom was the new gel foam mattress purchased?

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

Question: What did the reviewer do because a regular spatula makes serving a hassle?

Bought this because using a regular spatula to serve food like cake or lasagna is a hassle. Didn't know serving spatula's existed but I wasn't surprised. I've bought Oxo Good Grips before and was very satisfied so I checked to see if they had something that would solve my problem and came across this. It's definitely made serving food a breeze.

Question: What kind of tool did the reviewer use to press clothing and steam block sweaters?

I have worked at a dry cleaners and have used the professional size steam press to press clothing and to steam block sweaters. The surface where the clothes lay on never gets too hot, unless the lower steamer is applied, which this produce does not have. I was surprised at the reviewer who expected the steamer to get too hot to handle?This smaller version of the dry-cleaners steam press works well. It saves time in pressing, but you need to know the techinques to position the shirts and pants so that you'll get nice creases. Steam comes from the upper lid of the presser. Steam does not come out from the pressing pad.In order to block sweaters, position the sweater so that it is flat and then lower the pressor lid to 'almost' touching the sweater and let the sweater steam a few seconds. You may want to spray a mist of water onto the sweater before steaming. Next, move sweater around and repeat until entire sweater has been steam blocked.

Still - overall a great product, but has not stood the test of time.

Question: What does the reviewer bring to work each day?

PROS:I pack my lunch everyday to office. I hate to walk to microwave to heat it up , so end up eating semi-cold lunch. Voila!, Crock-Pot solved the problem. Now I get a pleasant, flavorful and hot lunch. Wonder why no one knew about such a simple idea,but powerful concept.Hats off to Crock-pot if they are the first one. The size is good enough as well but this is not for cooking up frozen lunches. Just heating up prepared lunch.CONS> A traditional lunch box is not deep and wider. But this one is deep ..at the bottom is less convenient (esp noodles, Pasta)> There is no On/off switch which is a nuisance. In an office cubicle, usually plug points are set below your desks. The manufacturer claims it is fine to leave the unit plugged but why leave it on when you do not need to !> The food container that holds the lunch , when open and ready for eating is little above the warming base. The Food container is hot and u have to consciously hold the warming base and not the food container...You will get burnt.All of the Con's can be fixed easily . Probably Cost considerations led the manufacturer to cut corners!

The Food container is hot and u have to consciously hold the warming base and not the food container... You will get burnt. All of the Con's can be fixed easily . <hl> Probably Cost considerations led the manufacturer to cut corners! <hl>

Question: How quickly was a replacement catch sent?

1st one arrived defective -- the button would not stay down unless you pushed it off to the side or held it down. Seems like whatever the catch is that keeps it down was broken. There was no issue in getting it replaced, they sent a replacement within 2 days and it has worked perfectly from the start. You have to follow the directions before the first use, heating it on the highest heat cycle for 3 times to burn off the "new" smell and I think to help adjust the thermostat maybe. Directions also tell you where to put your toast for even heating depending on single, multiple, thick or thin slices. We find that setting 2 is fine for most toasted bread.

Question: How many canisters were purchased?

I bought this one and the matching decaf canister. Out of the two canisters, the decaf one was the worst. Part of the decaf stickers had come off when manufactured, and someone tried to cover it up with black paint. Also, a nice size spot of black paint on the handle. Soooo cheaply made and not worth it. I was very disappointed and I am returning both canisters. The black one had some imperfections too, scoop is cheaply made. Maybe cute for decoration if you put them up high where no one can see them up close, but I wouldn't recommend for daily use.

Question: What is one of the issues of the new coffeemaker?

I drink several cups of coffee per day and have been using a 4 cup Mr. Coffee which performs satisfactorily. This new coffee maker makes a good cup of coffee. If you make a small quantity the coffee is not as hot as many people might prefer. I found that making a half pot or more results in hotter coffee. The coffee maker looks great and I appreciate the simple design that makes it easy to clean the tank, the filter holder and the glass carafe. The grey color looks nice and has a matte finish. Unlike my shiny black Mr. Coffee, this unit does not show finger prints and is easier to wipe clean. Other commentors have covered everything you can say. I have no problem with the carafe but I do remove the coffee filter unit before pouring. To me this is only logical.I paid $59.99 through [...] This site had the lowest price and delivered it in a week or so but were very poor in answering calls or emails. Compared to other small coffee makers this is expensive and has fewer features such as a clock or automatic "turn-on" at a set time. This does not bother me since it only takes about 4 minutes to brew and every other appliance seems to have a clock anyway. 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 stopped using that feature. For me the biggest, though very minor, inconvenience is that you can't pour coffee until the brewing cycle is complete.
