Question: How long to run the water over it?

This is just what I was looking for. I received one of these in return for a review and it is just right. I have been looking for one of these for a while, but couldn't make up my mind.There isn't a lot to this set. Only what you need. You get the base that holds the molds upright, 6 molds that don't skimp on space, and 6 lid/handle/drip catchers. If you are looking onto getting an ice pop mold, then I highly suggest you get one that has the removable molds such as this one. I have seen other molds that simply hold 6-8 pops, sort of like an ice cube tray, but then you have to unmold all of them at once.My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that there is no recipe booklet. It would have been nice to have some instant inspiration when I opened the box. So I just searched the web and found tons of recipes.My first experiment was with watermelon, rum, Splenda, and lime juice. I mixed it all and poured it into the molds that were standing in the base. I capped them with the lid/handles and popped it in the freezer. After waiting as long as humanly possible, I popped one off of the base. I ran some warm tap water over the mold for about 5-10 seconds and the ice pop slid right out. It turned out amazing! These are just the right size for needing to have only one. The drip catcher is a nice addition. I was able to get all the way through my pop and never did get any on my hands.After devouring the entire tray ( I had help...), I put the entire set in the dishwasher top rack and they came out just like new. Ready for the next recipe, sugar free mocha pudding pops...If you want a nice set that is easy on the wallet, this will work just fine. No bells and whistles, just the basics. And the mocha pops turned out to be an awesome diet-friendly treat!

Question: What rating did they give this?

I purchased two of these dredges to keep salt and pepper handy on my stovetop. I am very happy with that decision, and am planning to buy several more for sugar, seasoned salts, and other spices. This item is solid and well-manufactured; the tops screw on easily and fit snuggly. It is important to note that these dredges are made of POLISHED stainless steel and are shinier (and more attractive) that the photo suggests. I only gave this item four stars because Winware does not seem to make interchangeable tops with larger holes for their stainless steel dredges like they do for their plastic dredges. I would like to be able to use the stainless dredges for Splenda, dried parsley, etc.

Question: What product did the reviewer use as a test before investing in the full set of towels?

These are nice towels. I will buy them again. I tried the little face towels first just to make sure I was getting something I would like before I invested in the full set.They are supremely soft. They pill just a little when you wash them, at first, but nothing too bad. It is to be expected considering the thread count. When they come out of the wash, they do get even softer. These are like high quality hotel towels. I am very pleased with this product. Not all 100% cotton products stay soft, but these have so far.I would buy again. Also, the price on Amazon is competitive. These come quickly and with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime. They are also one of the top ranked towel products if you search on Amazon in Home and Kitchen under bath towels and sort by stars, which is what I did to find them in the first place.

Question: What is exceptional?

Bought this to compare to my roomba 560 that I have been using for 3 years. Sent the roomba on a cleaning mission then sent this bad boy out and managed to get stuff the roomba missed.

Roomba 560-scooba-dirt dog & now the mint;) I can breathe easy in my residence..... No dust bunnies anywhere.You will be happy with your purchase!!!!

Question: How many times did they fill the container?

I've only had the vac for a day or so but tested it by using it on all carpets and hardwood floors in the house. Battery held up with plenty of charge...don't know how much longer it would go....and it cleaned both carpets and floors very well. I had used our central vac a week ago and I still filled the container twice. I then took the handle off and used it on the furniture and it picked up a lot of dust and lint. Being able to turn the brushes on and off is real plus. 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. So far I am very pleased with the machine.

Question: What didn't they want to splurge on?

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). If you want to use it on shelves in a closet it's not a bad buy. But it's not very attractive and stacking seems pretty dicey. If you want to stack them more than two high you will definitely need to anchor the sides to a wall. Two high works okay but requires zip ties for stability and even that makes me a little nervous. The plastic is the glossy kind that scratches if you look at it wrong and attracts every bit of dust and pet hair in the house. Since I didn't realize all its shortcomings until I had unpackaged all 4 and tried several configurations I guess I'm stuck with it for now, but eventually I'll find something better-looking and more stable...preferably wooden.

Question: In my opinion, what pans are best?

USA pans are the best, in my opinion. But these.....maybe I don't know how to use them. 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. I imagine that if you filled the shell and put a top on the pie, squeezing the top with the side along the rim that it would work. But I can't say that for sure. I just know that without the top, it doesn't work because the coating causes the dough to slide down on the sides.

Question: Where do I roll the clove in ?

This item really works and simplifies removing skins from garlic cloves -- often a tedious job. I just trim the ends off of each clove and roll it around briefly in the tube. Amazingly it comes out skin free. When all the cloves are peeled cleanup is easy.

Question: How long did the breadmaker last?

I have been using this breadmaker for over an year now and every loaf comes out marvelous! It looks sharp, and its easy to clean.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. Here it is, Christmas Eve, and I have another piece of worthless Cuisinart junk although I used to swear by this brand. I had to buy a $20. replacement bin a few months earlier because that had fallen apart as well.I made about 2 loaves a month with this breadmaker, so it sure wasn't overworked.It hardly survived to the two year mark and that seems wrong to me because this product was not cheap and I took good care of it.I am done with Cuisinart.

Question: What kind of handles do the knives have?

I bought three Victorinox knives based on a recommendation from "Cooks Illustrated" magazine. I am so pleased! I got the 3" and 4" utility knives plus the chefs knife. All three are the best of their kind I have ever used, and I have always considered myself a bit of a knife snob. The polypropylene handles are very comfortable and non-slip, and the blades are just right. They are really sharp and they stay sharp. The chefs knife is perfectly balanced and such a pleasure to use. And the best part of all, they are so affordable. You deserve these knives!

Question: What is a big plus about the product?

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 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 the frothing blade for the batter and it worked reasonably well, but I learned the hard way that you need the batter to be in a deep bowl and you need to immerse the blade before you turn it on. You see, I tried to froth six ounces of hot milk and cocoa powder in a twelve ounce mug before I mixed the batter and ended up with a pool of (admittedly well mixed) cocoa all over the counter and the floor. It just turbo'd right out of the mug almost immediately.As for the whisk, it didn't do what I wanted at all. If you make hollandaise sauce, you know the first step is beating egg yolks to a thickened state. Even with six egg yolks, there is not a lot of liquid in the pan. Only the tip of the whisk made contact and that was not enough to beat air into the egg yolks. When I tried to tilt the whisk so that the egg yolks would flow through the side wires (which is how it works when I beat them manually with a whisk) the whisk head fell off into the egg yolks. Several times. It would feel "locked" in place, but the minute I tried to use the side of the whisk, it would detach. What a mess. Clearly this whisk is only designed to work straight up and down, which makes it useless for nearly anything I'd use a whisk for. The only thing I can think of that it might work for would be a deep bowl of heavy cream, but I rarely need big quantities of whipped cream.On the whole, a disappointment. I'm especially frustrated because the whisk might actually be useful if they had only figured out a way to lock it into place in the handle.

Question: How big are the bottles that come with the device?

I picked this water station up because I am tired of standing in line to get filtered water from my fridge. We have a big family and first thing in the morning you can count on a line up at the fridge, the kids filling their water bottles, me filling the carbonated water containers and the hubby mournfully waiting for someone to give him "cuts" so he can be properly caffeinated. With the Filtrete system I can just turn on the sink, fill the bottles, distribute the water and presto - we are all appropriately hydrated.A broad overview on this system:*You can filter as little as one bottle of water or up to 4.*The system comes with either a black or white base and four 16.9 fl oz bottles with brightly colored (leak-proof) caps.*The Bottles are BPA-free.*The 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.All in all, this is a good system for the family, easy to use, enough volume to meet everyone's needs in two fills and a decent size for our counter tops.Recommended.

Just stepping into the empty tub to install by lightly wetting the suction cups and applying pressure it would not stick. After reading the package, there was no info on wetting the product. It only says to work your way around the device pressing suctions in a row. Still didn't work for us. Since the house was a little chilly we placed it in the sink with hot water for a couple of minutes to soak. In the meantime, taking a wet cloth with some soap, cleaned the area around the escape point and finished by drying it with a towel. Then we removed the Deep Water Bath from the hot soak and shook it off. Trying again to work around the suctions it stuck perfectly. It does say to take it off each time and rinse with cool water - to avoid mold. You can also throw it in with the wash every now and then. It makes a great full bath to relax in! :)

Question: What's the highest the super-fast scroll goes to?

Viewing angle really bad, have to be pretty much directly in front to read. There is no way to clear, as far as I can tell, but it's not a big deal because you can just hold the minute button in and it will do the super-fast scroll to 99 then to zero to start over. Basic, very easy to use, good magnet on it. Small size, about credit card, and very thin too. Alarm is mild, wouldn't hear from other room or with much noise.

Answer: 99

Question: What picks up pieces of food?

I have toddler twins and for months have been picking up food remnants by hand or lugging out the huge Bissel vacuum to clean up after their food throwing shenanigans.This product has changed my life. It picks up pieces the size of a tortilla chip or smaller, which is pretty much all of the debris that clutter my flooring. It makes cleanup a breeze after mealtime, when my kids show off their "throwing bean" skills and manage to turn dinner into an olympic sport. My daughter is slightly afraid of this Dustbuster so when she is acting up we chase her with it.I wish this Dustbuster had an attachment to get to those hard-to-reach places, but otherwise I think it does a fabulous job. It is easy to clean out and change the filter. Luckily a charge lasts a week if you use it for a minute at a time.

Question: If that part hadn't broken off, what would the reviewer have rated the coffee maker?

This coffee maker lasted me about a year making one cup of coffee most days. Then a small piece that hooks that holds up the piece that fits on top of the filter broke off.I originally still gave this coffee maker 3 stars as it did a nice job until the piece broke off after about a year. If it wouldn't have broke off, I probably would have rated it a 4 star (it takes a lot for me to rate something 5 star). I did mostly like the coffee maker. I ordered the same coffee maker and as I was GENTLY wiping down the machine from the packing materials, the same piece broke off from the new machine. So now I have modified my review to be a 1 star. If you are actually somebody who wipes down your coffee maker (according to the directions), don't expect this machine to last.

Question: On what object did they use the cleaner more than once?

I have used this multiple times on my living room rug. It is the only carpeting we have in our house and it sure takes a beating. It is a light beige color and this little cleaner made a HUGE difference in it and didn't alter the original color. The spray puts out a flat, uniform line...and then I let that sit for about 30 seconds and then i used the vacuum to suck up the extra water. There is a brush on bottom but I am not sure what it is supposed to do. If you try to use it to scrub while you are vacuuming then it pops off. I got to where I just used it by hand for those extra tough stains and it really helped. The container for the cleaner/water mixture is pretty small so you wont get a huge space done. but as long as you only use this for the small stuff it is perfect. It is easy to take apart and clean so it is definitely going to be my go-to spot lifter.

Question: When did they buy these bags?

I bought these when I had a party at my house. These big green bags made it clear to everyone that this is where you put bottles and cans. After the party I've used these as my recycling bags that I keep in my pantry and garage. I used to use paper grocery bags, but they'd leak and the handles would often break. These sturdy bags are a nice alternative to my old bags and they hold a lot more so there are less trips to my outside roller cart. Overall a great buy.

Question: How much was the product?

I received these to try free as part of a blog review. 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. That said, if you want/need to use cups, these are GREAT. They're easy to clean, the muffins baked through nice and evenly, and they feel like they'll last a long time.My only concern is that I'd hate to have someone throw them out if I was using them for a birthday party or with younger kids. I have a 2 yr old and I'm not sure he'd know to not throw them out like you throw out the disposable ones- of course, he's 2 yr old so occasionally I have to dig our spoons and forks out of the trash too. Haha.

Question: How long after first using it did the user's opinion start to change?

This set of cookware was great when I first started using it. It was non-stick as described, heated evenly on an electric stove and overall I was pretty satisfied with it. After using it for a year, my opinion is beginning to change. The handles on the pots keep coming loose and have to be tightened every couple of uses. The non-stick bottom, although I have been very careful to avoid scratching or damaging it has started to peel off in little bubbles. The bottoms tend to get burn marks that you can't scrub off even with some serious elbow grease. I think when you buy these, you are buying the name. You could probably get a similar item for much less money at your local superstore. Not thrilled.

Question: What does not happen from cooking heat?

This is an update to my review below...Having used this little spatula for a few months now, I'd glad to say that it is still holding up well. Better than expected. I've found the best uses for it, and its 'big brother'. They sustain the heat of cooking without staining or scorching. Very pleased. I WOULD recommend either....'D. Wetherington' commented on the thickness of it, and I must say, it didn't occur to me until I used it, but it is a bit too thick. Although it, of course, works...it seems like it may break or crack in the future. NOT SAYING IT WILL...just feels like it will.Also, the end, where the hole is, is REALLY thin. It almost feels like an afterthought. Flimsy. For the price, I would NOT recommend it to a friend.Pros...'Scrapes all the stuff'Cleans easilyOne piece unitCons...Unsure of the qualityA bit stiffEnd too 'rubbery'

Question: what are the actual dimensions of the new wine cellar?

I ordered this wine cellar to replace one that had stopped working. My old one was also a 6 bottle cellar but when I compared the dimensions listed here on Amazon,this one was bigger. It was 3 inches taller. I almost didnt order it for this reason. I searched for a few days and decided to go ahead and purchase this one. After ordering, I spent half the day moving things around to find a new place for this larger unit. I received my order yesterday . I was shocked when I took it out of the box and set it beside the old one . They were IDENTICAL in size! It appears to me that the dimensions listed on this include the SHIPPING BOX!!This wine cellar is quiet and cooling perfectly. I am very happy with my purchase. The dimensions of this wine cellar are 20 inches deep X 14.5 inches tall X 10 inches wide .

Question: What types of tasks are the big processors poorly suited for?

I have owned 3 of the biggest Cuisinart processors over the last 35 years, and 2 of the mini-preps. This is the handiest by far. The big ones don't work well for small jobs and the mini-preps are almost useless. This little jewel handles small jobs beautifully. It will emulsify salad dressings like nothing else and grate or shred small quantities of cheese perfectly. I also love it for mincing/pureeing fresh garlic, rosemary, and other ingredients for a fast, fresh dry rub. Another plus: it takes up very little space on the counter or in the dishwasher. When my family lived at home, I loved the large ones. Now this small one fits my lifestyle.I recommend it highly.

Question: As it turns out, why did others also by these two bowls?

Like many others, I bought two of these bowls to use as cat dishes for wet food! It was pretty funny when I found out that others bought them for the same purpose. I picked this style because the bowls are fairly small, but quite shallow so they're easy for the cats to out from without mussing their whiskers. My mother-in-law was very amused that I bought Fiesta dishes for my cats, but these bowls cost the same as the pet dishes at the pet store and are sturdier, so why not? The bowl is a great size for a 3 oz can of food, but will hold more than that just fine if your cat needs more per meal.Cat purposes aside, these are very nice bowls. I haven't used them personally (using the same dishes as the cats skeeves me out, which is why they have their own to begin with), but they look like they'd be great for small appetizers like bowls of salsa or almonds, side dishes of coleslaw, applesauce, or yogurt, or ice cream. I'll probably buy some more for us humans at some point.

Question: what do you mount the speaker onto the stand with

I bought these as soon as I moved into my apartment, I didn't want to go through the process of hanging my speakers on the wall and run the risk of something happening to them. With that being said, it doesn't take long to get these put together and the cable management is really good, you're basically running cable through the base of the speaker stand and out the bottom... 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. Other than that, the price is good for this you're basically mounting the speaker onto the stand with a screw that goes through another cable management bracket on the back of it.

Question: How much did the product cost?

Never used a ricer before so can't compare the workability of this product compared to others, but this is not as easy to use as it seems. 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. I was afraid the handles would break when I squeeze them hard. The potatoes have to be very, very soft in order to squeeze them out easily. Some lumps still remain. It's not too useful for drier, denser or more fibrous variety of root vegetables such as the purple sweet potato I tried ricing. Sometimes the mash pushes up the inner basket because the metal plate couldn't squeeze out the mash fast enough and that makes a mess. Finally, for around $20 (incl. shipping) this is rather expensive for a piece of plastic.

Answer: $20

Sometimes the mash pushes up the inner basket because the metal plate couldn't squeeze out the mash fast enough and that makes a mess. <hl> Finally, for around $20 (incl. <hl> shipping) this is rather expensive for a piece of plastic.

Never used a ricer before so can't compare the workability of this product compared to others, but this is not as easy to use as it seems. 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. I was afraid the handles would break when I squeeze them hard.

Question: What persuaded the customer to purchase this product?

This isn't the first product that I've purchased based on the strenght of Amazon reviews, but it is the most "gimmicky." But on the slim chance that it could work, I was willing to give it a go because I absolutely loathe cooking pasta. Now don't get me wrong...I love to eat it...it's the cooking that I can't stand. The constant wait and taste, wait and taste, wait and taste...and then I invariably wait too long and end up with mush. Ack! I dreamed of something that I could just set into motion, put some sauce on low, then pick up around the house or get a little work done in the office until it was time to eat. Now I have my wish. Pasta is now so convenient that I'm experimenting with my own sauces, trying some new recipes, and just looking forward to cooking with it. My only complaint about the product, and it's a minor one, is that the strainer isn't as efficient as it could be. Because of the design of the lid, a bit of water gets easily trapped at the bottom of the strainer and can't exit because it's either hung up around the lip of the lid and clinging to dear life or because it can't reach the first slot in order to exit. As a result, you get about two tablespoons or so of water if you dump directly to your plate. If you're like me and don't like the excess water, a quick drop in a colander does the trick.

Question: What is underneath the Terry Cloth layer?

I use towels above this protector and a 200 polartec blanket underneath it, right above the mattress for further protection. If there is a urine smell on the blanket then it gets washed too. The waterproof protector gets washed with the towels each time - we have 2 twin size protectors that we alternate. After about ten washes each, they seem to be holding up well. This system works for us. The Terry Cloth is a very thin layer above the waterproof layer. If you test the protector with water, the waterproof layer seems to be cold and damp. I do not know how this protector compares to the more expensive ones. Bottom line - with towels above and a blanket below this protector, the mattress stays protected. Not five stars because of the plastic type smell (probably caustic chemicals) - the smell is not noticeable when on the mattress. I guess virtually all waterproofing will have possibly toxic chemicals.

Question: how much did this blender cost?

This thing does it all, ice crusher, smoothies, mixed drinks, pesto etc. Yeah it makes noise, it's a blender, the tech built into this works, the blades, the ribs in the vessel, the countdown timer. A friend's girlfriend bought a 450 dollar vitamix and all I would hear about was smoothie this and we grind up avocado seeds in them and blah blah blah. Then the first time I ever made a smoothie never mind with this machine his silence was damning when he finally said "you only paid 200 for that?"...

Question: What sets the two Thermoworks apart?

I have both the fast, foldable Thermoworks and the fast, non-foldable. They are equal in speed and accuracy, although the more expensive turns itself off faster. That's about the only difference of any consequence. Great value. If I had started with this one, I'd have two of these (one for each place).

Question: What does it slice down through?

Like my title states, it is coveted by everyone who tries it. I first used one at my sister in law's house and really liked it. The next time I was there, she told me that some weekend guests had recently used it there and loved it. It "mysteriously" disappeared at the same time they went back home and she was needing to replace it (they haven't been invited back needless to say). I told her that I was ordering one for me from Amazon and she got one here too, as they are extremely hard to find except in some specialty stores. Well worth the money. It slices down through the hardest frozen ice cream with no difficulty. Highly recommended.

Question: Who did the author get this for?

I got this for my daughter, who is an avid tea drinker. She has tried diffusers, strainers and many other loose tea devices. All of the other products leave some level of tea leaves in the cup. With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew, there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! Not one!The other side - cleaning. Cleaning any loose leaf/grind product can be problematic, this one is no more difficult. It is easier to clean if you let the leaves/grinds dry out before removal. If you want another cup before the residue dries, a tap or two against the trash can combined with a wipe of a paper towel, and a swish of water to rinse takes care of any leftover tea remains.Bottom line - very quick, very easy to use. No tea leaves floating around! This is a winner!

Question: How often does the author bring out her actual vacuum?

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. I use it on the steps, hard floors, in the bathroom - We are getting ready to sell our house and it's great to just zoom through the house first thing in the morning. I gave my second one away to my son but now I am sorry I did because it would really be handy to keep one on each floor. It stores neatly and is great for picking up crumbs under tables etc. My house stays a lot cleaner and I only have to drag the vaccum cleaner out once a week - good for me! Good for my back.

Question: how often do they clean their home?

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 use the right detergent, I don't stint, and my results are impressive. I do six rooms and a hallway, all wood and tile, in about an hour. It fills the tank three times to get the job done. No back problems, no knee problems, and the little scrubbers do all the work. This jewel is about as heavy as a normal upright vacuum cleaner.....it takes maybe three minutes to thoroughly clean the tanks and filter when I'm done. Now my floors have that incredible squeaky clean feel for my bare feet.........I do my home once a month, with some manual touchups in the kitchen.

Question: what might be needed on a particularly cold night

I got this comforter in a twin size for my son's bed. Due to allergies in our family, I choose to avoid goose down in all of my family's bedding. This comforter is very soft to the touch and comfortable. Washing it was a breeze. Drying took a little extra time but it emerged from the dryer in great shape with no bunching. 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. Overall, this is a wonderful comforter - it looks beautiful and is super cozy, and I don't need to worry about it aggravating allergies!A sample was provided for review.

Question: What does the author hate doing in the middle of the night?

I've had the opportunity to review a number of memory foam mattresses. This one is neither the best nor the worst.I like that the bed is firm, but not too firm, as with any other memory foam. This model forms to the contour of my body great and is easy to get comfortable in. My sleep quality has improved, I wake up less at night and I never wake up feeling sore.On the other hand it is one of the mattresses that gets hot at night. Prior to this model I had a mattress that focused on staying cool at night. When moving the mattress around it's awkward and heavy, so if you plan on moving soon or you like to rearrange furniture often, keep that in mind; this also pertains to the packaging - it's too large for your standard car. The edges of the mattrees are hard and a pain to sit on. The smell took a while to get used to, also.Because of the heat the bed puts off overnight causing me to wake up sweating, I had to give this 3 stars. I absolutely HATE waking up sweating and this was the deal breaker for me. I had to revert back to my old mattress and put this one back in storage.

Question: What does the manual say to never use on the new model?

I've finally given up on my husband's old Bella Cucina Belgian waffle maker that makes soggy waffles no matter what I do. I decided to buy this one on the strength of the good reviews. I'm glad I did! It's a very simple machine with no temp/browning control but it makes waffles that are crispy outside and soft inside. That's all I've ever wanted. I only have to flip once which is cool. What I do now is I make a big batch of waffles, cool them on a wire rack and then freeze them in a ziplock bag. I heat them up in the oven for 5-10 minutes whenever we feel like having waffles at any time of the day.It also helps reading the manual first before using it. It said to never use PAM because it destroys the nonstick coating. I brush the plates with some canola oil and pour 3/4 cup of batter. Pouring in more than that would cause spillage. Hope this helps. And FYI, this item goes on sale at Macy's from time to time for around $17.

Question: What wouldn't the user do?

Doesn't chop isn't completely correct. It does make one chop but after that the food you chopping is stuck in the blades.And this happens with any moist fruits or foods you attempt to chop, and it's not easy to get the stuff back out. 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 going out tomorrow and look for one that works. I think the culprit in this case is the blade design; it traps food andis difficult to clear. I chop apples to feed to my parrots and this thing is not up to the task.All and all this device is very disappointing. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.This is just another one of those products that when it's demonstrated by a slick host who has multiple takes to make itlook can appear to be a good product. I'm disappointed in myself for falling for the hype.
