Question: When did they test it?

At first I wondered who could possibly need a one-quart butter pan! That seems way too big for a butter warmer. But what better day to test it than Thanksgiving -- and the pan was great. I did use it to melt butter and later to simmer giblets and finally to make gravy -- and it was superb in all cases. The nonstick surface cleaned up very easily (hand wash only). I really liked the double pour spout, one on each side of the pan, which came in handy depending on which hand I was lifting with. The size makes it more versatile than for just melting butter, and the curved handle was very comfortable. There's also a ring if you'd like to hang the pot, which is an attractive speckled red. I have used the pan to make hot chocolate, and it does quite well.Did great for Thanksgiving dinner. This pan is a great addition to my kitchen.

Question: What makes this item could rate 5 stars?

This steamer does a fine job of steaming vegetables and it sounds simple to use. Unfold, insert steaming tray, add vegetables. Add 3 tablespoons of water, open vent and microwave 3 minutes. That's it! Veggies come out crispy!Sounds good, right? Well is would be if it was that easy. The veggies DO come out perfect, although you may have to adjust the time depending on the power of your microwave and your desired level of doneness. For me, 3 minutes was perfect for a 900W oven. Less time is needed for a 1400W oven. The problem is that the container is VERY hot after steaming. Also, the cover is the same diameter as the bowl, making it very difficult to remove without burning yourself. The cover has a small tab protruding but it is not enough to grip when the bowl is steaming hot so you must grip the bowl and cover very tightly to open, which is near impossible when it is steaming hot.If the cover and the bowl were redesigned to make removal easier, I could give this 5 stars. But as it is, I can only rate it a 3. It works great for steaming but it is really difficult to open when hot without burning yourself.

Question: What does the author have difficulty using to pick up lettuce?

I have had this product now for about one month and I love it! It keeps my salad greens cool and dry and the tray on top lets you keep your salad toppings just as you like them.. I put the wetter toppings on one side and the dryer toppings on the other. And the dressing container holds enough dressing. I really pack it in there. My salad is perfect every time. The latches work well, it has never come open. The knife and fork are a nice touch, they are sturdy enough, but I find that the tongs on the fork are too fat to pick up lettuce, so I bring my own along.. No biggie. Buy this. You will be happy with it!

Question: What can the product do?

These are a great way to be creative with summer snacking. I like to puree up whatever sweet fruits are in season and make pops out of them. Watermelon pops are amazingly refreshing on a hot humid day.I also lile to use fresh fruit juice of any flavor, raspberry lime is a favorite. Clean up is a breeze which is awesome. And the nicest part is that I control what goes in. As a matter of fact...I can go all out, which I believe I will, and make some Margarita and Daquiri Pops, ice pops aren't just for kids you know :-)I am editing this on 06/24/13 to add:One of the nicer things about this freezer pop making set is, the lids. I know that doesn't sound like such a big deal, but I have the old fashioned Icepop kit, and while it is okay(when the pop comes out on the stick) you have to keep the whole thing in the freezer til they are all consumed or transfer everything to a freezer bag. Again, not really a big deal, but I am not a fan of there being extra steps and more work for me. These molds, once frozen, are self contained and can just be put in any space in your freezer. I love that convenience...plus no stick to worry about.

Question: Did anyone else like the item and the waffles?

I just used this for the first time over the weekend and it really worked wonderfully. I made gluten-free waffles and they came out like we were in a restaurant. My husband loved it! I will say I had to cook them longer that what the book that comes with the plates suggests, but no harm no foul. The reason for the 4 stars is that the plates don't fit the Griddle all the way, there is a bit of room between the plates and the base, which is not the case for the regular plates. So far that hasn't meant anything, but I've only used them once.

Question: How many bags does the Panasonic vacuum come with?

Owning a vacuum is like owning a printer -- it's not just the initial cost, it's also the ongoing "surcharge" for use. This Panasonic vacuum (which is excellent, by the way) came with two vacuum bags, but I thought from the quality materials and construction of the bags that it wasn't going to be cheap to keep the house vacuumed. I was pleasantly surprised at how long the bags lasted. Even though they aren't terribly big, they are very sturdy and expand to hold a great deal more dust and dirt that expected. Unlike most canister bags, they aren't made of paper, it is sort of a thick stretchy material. They are very easy to change and don't "leak" dirt and dust all over when you take them out of the canister. At $9.99 a four pack here at Amazon, they are a bargain and should last several months, at least, in the average house.

Question: What part of the product is extremely difficult to wash?

I am the unfortunate owner of a Kitchenaid 11 cup processor (I rated the Cuisinart 5 stars, but I really do not know). Seeing all the negative comments below about the Cuisinart, I sadly have to respond that all the flaws of the Cuisinart apply equally to the KitchenAid. Despite using the KitchenAid sparingly and with care, I have broken 2 bowls (at $40 + $9 S&H each) and one lid at $20 + S&H. Although the KitchenAid motor is well made, the plastic bowls are flimsy and poorly designed. In addition the bowl leaks down the side if liquid is blended. The lid is exceedingly hard to clean. Consequently, I am thinking of replacing my KitchenAid with the Cuisinart.

Question: What are some of the bells and whistles of the cookware?

Excellent quality cookware. My husband has a tendency to use metal utensils in cookware so I was looking for something nonstick that could take a little abuse. I found it here. If you season them properly per the instructions included, they are indeed nonstick and very scratch resistent. Clean up is a breeze. Love the vented glass lids and coated handles. They take a while to heat up on the eye but once they get going, they cook on a much lower temp then my other cookware. All the handles have nice large holes that will fit any pot rack hook with ease. Wish they came in another color besides the bright red, but I can live with it as all else is wonderful.

Question: How many did they try?

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: What product is the writer reviewing?

This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it. It's a solid, well-constructed set that seems like it will hold up for a long time.*update* Last night I dropped one of these on the floor while I was in a standing position and it did not shatter or even crack. This is a floor that things usually shatter in million pieces on too (we've had that happen with glasses and a pitcher). That shows how solid these are.*2nd update* I was just carrying items out of the room and the pepper shaker slipped and flew out of my hand and landed under a chair (no carpet, hard floor) and I said to myself that's going to be a mess...went to look and it was all in one piece, not even a crack! I just bumped these up to a 5 star, they've earned it.

Question: What material was the old oven mitt?

I bought a pair of these silicone oven mitts to replace an old, warn out pair of fabric ones. These mitts are okay. They are very good for being "grippy" of hot cookie sheets. The only negatives for me are that the thumbs sometimes get into the food on the cookie tray when I take stuff out of the oven. The thumbs are a little stiffer than I am used to with the old fabric ones, and they stick out a little more. The mitts are kind of expensive too. I haven't tried to clean them yet, so I'm not sure how they stack up there.Definitely good and "grippy", if that is what you are looking for.

Question: What does this screen fit?

I just love this screen. With the metal feet that can rest on a counter top without burning it is a big plus. The size of this screen fits all my skillets. Heavy enough to stay put on the skillets. Well made construction. I just threw away all my other screens that are flimsy and with plastic handles that have melted. I would recommend using a mitt to pickup with the metal handle. Just as a precaution. I doubt that the handle will get hot, but I just feel more comfortable using a mitt. it is easy to clean and works great.

Question: What color is the liner?

I ended up purchasing three of these (think 50ish shoes including winter boots, hiking boots, high heels, sandals, flip-flop, tennis shoes...the whole gamut) and I really like them. Generally pretty easy to put together, sometimes the shelves get a bit stuck but you can take off black liner and it will go in then. They are pretty sturdy and it is so nice to not have shoes all over my closet floor any more.

Question: What was warm to the touch after being plugged in but off for awhile?

I bought this only 2 and half months ago and have used it maybe 4 or 5 times (I mostly only iron when I sew and I have been too busy to sew lately). When I went to use it today it was making some mild clicking type noises that I hadn't noticed in the past. Then I realized it just wasn't ironing so great either. When I looked at the lcd display, I saw that every available option was highlighted, including the pause lights. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it cleared for a brief moment and then went back to doing what it was doing: Very little heat and the display not reading correctly. Clearly I have a faulty iron and I'm majorly disappointed about it. Now I have to try to send the thing back to the company and hope for a repair or replacement. This is definitely one of those times where I wish I had bought this at a local store so I could just return it. Not happy.Oh, and one other thing... when I first got this I left it plugged in but made sure it was turned off. When I came back to it later, I noticed the handle was warm to the touch. The soleplate, however, was cool. I made sure to keep it unplugged from then on.Overall, a VERY untrustworthy product from my perspective.

When I looked at the lcd display, I saw that every available option was highlighted, including the pause lights. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it cleared for a brief moment and then went back to doing what it was doing: Very little heat and the display not reading correctly. Clearly I have a faulty iron and I'm majorly disappointed about it. Now I have to try to send the thing back to the company and hope for a repair or replacement. This is definitely one of those times where I wish I had bought this at a local store so I could just return it. Not happy.Oh, and one other thing... when I first got this I left it plugged in but made sure it was turned off. When I came back to it later, I noticed <hl> the handle <hl> was warm to the touch. The soleplate, however, was cool. I made sure to keep it unplugged from then on.Overall, a VERY untrustworthy product from my perspective.


Question: What is the capacity?

Pros:--Designed for different sized citrus--Measuring Cup (1 cup)--Easy to clean, assemble - and the lids snap in place and stay in place.Cons:--The smaller size is still a bit large for limes--I think it requires a little more "elbow muscle" than other juicers, because the reamer is plastic.Go ahead and laugh -- but before you pour it out, clean the top of the juicer off or it will all fall into the cup. Common sense, I know, but I thought the gelatinous mess would stay "stuck" to it.

Question: how the product works?

Great invention, but it is a bit bulky. I would suggest keeping it in the box so as not to lose any parts. It works great for drying fresh cut pasta doe.

Question: What is the size of the grinder?

Yes, it's small, we knew that when we bought it so I'm not complaining about the product description. I guess I didn't anticipate how difficult it would be to transfer the grounds into the espresso thingy. I don't really have a small enough spoon to get in the grinder basin so I try to just grind a perfect amount and then carefully dump it into the press. It always makes quite a mess on the counter but I haven't looked for another product because this one does it's job of grinding beautiful aromatic coffee so well!

Question: What was the first recipe attempted by the reviewer?

My wife gave me one of these for Christmas two years ago. I eagerly tried to make a batch of vanilla ice cream. After an hour of noisy churning, the base was still liquid and the bowl was only slightly chilled. An hour more of churning did not improve things. The thing went down in the basement. I resurrected it this afternoon to give it another chance, this time with lemon and lime sorbet. Same result. The base was as liquid after an hour of churning as it was at the start. I give up. I wish I had back the hours I wasted on this piece of expensive junk.

Question: What type of stains did the device not remove?

It failed to remove harder stuck-on gunk (fruit residue, for example), but did well with minor spots (where milk spilled, for example). It's certainly more pleasant and less messy to use than a standard mop, though I'm not sure it's any more effective. It hasn't done any damage on wood flooring (yet) while on lowest setting, while still being effective at removing minor spots. It's definitely an upgrade to a standard mop, but you do get a few drawbacks: there'll likely eventually be issue using hard water in such a device, you do need to refill the water compartment a few times per use (though you use dramatically less water), and you're restricted by the electric cord. It's also about 5x the price of a basic mop and bucket. It's not a bad product at all, but I wouldn't recommend spending the money on it or a similar product unless you have significant problems using standard mops.

Question: Where did the tortillas rest?

My 4 tortilla shell makers came nicely packaged in a box with a free squeeze bottle(?) in it. The side of the box had the baking instructions which were 375 degrees for 8 minutes. I left mine in for 10 minutes when the top edges started to brown. The bottoms were soft still, but when I pulled the tortillas out of the maker and put them on a cooling rack, the bottoms hardened up within a minute or two. I used flour tortillas that were 8" and they worked perfectly. These are a little interesting getting in and out of the oven, but that may be my only complaint. I will get lots of use out of these for our family taco nights!

Question: How long has the customer owned the coffeemaker?

i read all the reviews and was very careful in selecting my new coffeemaker. one of the things that I hated the most about my old style (glass) carafe was that it DID, in fact, taste like burnt coffee and hated that so much. i though the idea of a thermal carafe was great! keeping it warm without burning it. BUT this particular coffeemaker doesn't even get it hot! it does NOT have a setting for the hot plate because THERE IS NO HOT PLATE. It does not get warm at all because it expects the carage to keep it warm. I love having the preset button but cannot use it because if I don't wake up right when it is finished brewing I do not get a hot cup of coffee. And by the time I leave for work to pour the last cup, it isn't even warm. I gave it three stars because some people may not prefer their coffee piping hot and since it does make a tasty cup of coffee with the three settings, I will leave it.Regardless, I have only had this coffee maker for just over a month and am thinking about buying a different one. Waste of money for me. If anyone wants to purchase this off of me, I would gladly sell it to you at a cheaper price. :(

Question: What is no exception?

I'm a big fan of Cuisinart cooking products, There pots and pans are top notch, and these cooking utensils are no exception. They are sold feeling, yet light weight and ergonomically correct feeling in my hands. Long enough to reach the deepest pots and don't get too hot to hold due to being hollow. Very easy clean up and great looking in general. My old utensils were in a drawer, there are going to go on a utensil rack and display prominently in my kitchen. Sure you can get cheaper plastic utensils that will still flip a burger or scoop up a ladle of soup, but when you want quality and want your things to look as good as they perform, these are worth the extra couple bucks. And being stainless, I can see these lasting for many many years to come.

Question: What kind of item was the customer writing a review for?

I read all of the previous reviews. My research said this was the best item.I have used it for a month. Prefilter had 1/16" of dust on it. The inner filters had very little accumulation. It does better than the name brand tabletop that claims to do a 30' x 30' room. Maybe I expect too much. Will monitor the purifier and advise later if I see noticeable improvement. I am within the parameters listed by manufacturer for the size room purifer to be used in. The problem I am dealing with is dust created by the hot air heating system. The room in question is at the end of the system and deposits dust instead of the air and dust going to the return vents. The furnace is not strong enough. I expect to update this review later.

Question: What rating did the reviewer give the processor for chopping?

Purchased this from big warehouse store. I had it for several months before actually using it. I have a big food processor and a very small one, but decided I would like one that was mid-sized. Who has not heard of Cuisinart, so I was excited to see this at such a good price with the good reputation of the Cuisinart brand. How disappointing.Out of the box, the plastic base was so lightweight, I felt I had to keep my hand on the base when I put in food so it would not topple over. Even my cheaper tiny chopper felt more substantial than this piece of junk. Let me tell you, I could deal with the lightweight construction, IF it performed well, but it doesn't. Instead of chopping or grinding my food, it pulverized it into mush. There are two options on this machine, Chop and Grind which are controlled by your touch. You can press continuously or pulse the buttons.The box talks about this processor handling chopping, mixing, grinding, pureeing and emulsifying. I think it skipped the first two tasks and went straight to pureeing. The first thing I tried was bell pepper, which I cut into 1 1/2 to 2" pieces. I pressed chopped a few times and in a few seconds I had bell pepper mush. I had to take it out, put it into a towel and squeeze all the liquid out. I had bell pepper soup. I will admit, I did not read the instructions the first go round since I figure a food processor was self explanatory.My next attempt, I read the instructions...maybe I was doing something wrong. The instructions say to "cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size - about 1/2" to a side..." WHAT?! Half an inch!!! If I chopped it to that small of a size, I might as well finish the chop by hand and not even use a processor. Anyway, I decided to follow the instructions and tried again with red bell pepper. Same problem. Pulverized to a liquid...would be a good juicer, but that is not why I bought this product! I decided to try one more time with onions. That's an easy one that I did all the time with both my small and large food processor. I tried both the Chop option and the Grind option with two different onion sessions. Even though the instruction book says Chop is for chopping "soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic.." Even with pulsing, it pulverized the onions and did not chop it to a fine consistency, again I had to squeeze out all the juice. Grind actually worked better when I pulsed it, even though the booklet says it is for "grinding spices and for chopping hard food such as seeds, nuts and chocolate."I have not tried using this for anything hard, most of what I want chopped is considered "soft", but I would definitely not recommend this product, unless you do a lot of pureeing and emulsifying. For chopping and mixing, I give it a 0 (zero) and for pureeing and emulsifying, I'd give it a 3.5. Points taken off because of the cheap base and the need to initially chop items to 1/2". It gets a 1 star because I wanted to use it like a process a medium capacity of food. It did not function in this capacity.

Question: What was the decanter doing that people didn't like?

Perfect replacement after I broke the original decanter for my FT series coffeemaker. I almost didn't order this after reading the negative reviews about leaking, but I'm very glad I did. This decanter has a much cleaner pour that the one that came with my coffeemaker and doesn't leak at all. Maybe they have improved the design? Very pleased.UPDATE: I've had this for a couple of months now, and it has started to leak. Not just tons of liquid, but enough to make a nice puddle on the counter top. Come on, Mr Coffee, how hard could it be to make a coffee pot that works?? Changed my rating from 5 stars to 3, should've just bought a new coffee maker.

Question: What is disturbing?

We have 3 dogs and I also foster dogs, plus 2 cats and 2 teenagers. I vacuum every day, because I have to. This is my second Hoover, and like the first, this one has excellent suction. In fact it's disturbing how much dirt and hair come up. Yuck.THE GOOD:+ Excellent suction as described above+ Height-adjustable+ Power cord - 25' long+ Bagless, which I like but not everybody does+ Hose doesn't kink+ On board tools so they don't get lost, and they do stay on.THE BAD:- Not "steerable" and pretty heavy- I hate how the hinged canister-lid opens. It swings open as the dirt pours out, invariably getting a lot of dirt on it. There must be a cleaner way.BOTTOM LINE:* Nothing fancy but really really strong suction that works on pet hair.

Yuck.THE GOOD:+ Excellent suction as described above+ Height-adjustable+ Power cord - 25' long+ Bagless, which I like but not everybody does+ Hose doesn't kink+ On board tools so they don't get lost, and they do stay on.THE BAD:- Not "steerable" and pretty heavy- I hate how the hinged canister-lid opens. It swings open as the dirt pours out, invariably getting a lot of dirt on it. There must be a cleaner way.BOTTOM LINE:* Nothing fancy but really really strong suction that works on pet hair.

In fact it's disturbing <hl> how much dirt and hair come up <hl> .


Question: what prompted the purchase?

After burning my hand through an old oven mitt at my parents house, I knew something had to be done to keep my sanity in check. I had heard about wood tools like this before, but wasn't exactly sure what to call it. Searching for the words push and pull, this inexpensive item came up and I purchased two.You'd think an item like this is something simple, but there really is a difference between using any old stick and this push puller of power. The notch at the end can push a rack without slipping, while the second notch pulls that rack right out again. No burns, no slips and certainly no mitt needed. I use it mostly for my toaster oven, but it works great on my large oven too.The ruler hasn't come in handy yet, but someday I will want to know how long something is and this will be ready to go. There is also a small magnet on the back so you can hang it on your fridge. If you searched and found this item, buy it now.

Question: Overall are you happy with the humidifier's performance?

I read tons of the reviews on here before purchasing this product. I ended up buying the Owl, and I am in love. I have been using it for 4 days so far and I have had no problems with burning electronics, noise level, it using too much water, etc.I can barely hear it. I think the noise level is on par with our ceiling fan, which runs all year long except in the winter. It produces a nice little stream of cool mist and after the first night of use I woke up without a dry, sore throat and nose. My apartment is so dry I have been getting nose bleeds in the morning from my nose cracking. It has been WONDERFUL! I feel so much better.I was hesitant about buying a $40 humidifier when I could get a Vick's hot steam from Walgreens for $12. I am glad I bought this instead. With the cool steam, I am not worried about my place catching fire from a faulty heating element.I set the dial to about 3/4 the way, and a full gallon of water lasted 3 nights. I have been using high purity water to prevent mineral build up and hopefully this little guy will last me a long time.

Question: What accessory for Keurig is the author advocating for?

If you love your Keurig because it's a great cup of coffee but not particularly partial to any one of the available k-cups then this is a money saving must-have. Use your own coffee grounds and make a delicious cup of coffee in your Keurig with this reusable filter.My tips are to make sure the lid is on tight. I made a real mess the first ime that I used it because the lid wasn't screwed on good. And don't overfill it, for some reason it doesn't make as much coffee when the reusable filter is too full.I haven't had any problem with any coffee regarding whether it was coarsely ground or fine.Overall, really glad I bought this! I can buy just plain coffee grounds or any of the flavored ground coffees available and brew in my Keurig which is much cheaper!

Question: What size unit did the reviewer buy?

great rice cooker. The instructions are a bit vague but, you can figure them out. There should be a chart relating American rice types to the Asian types. But, a little trial and error figures it out..The features are poorly explained in the instructions. For example, the timers. One neat feature I discovered is that you use the markings in the rice pot to load it (use the cup that came with the unit to measure rice), select rice type, then push the start button and forget it.The fuzzy logic will cook the rice properly, shut off and turns on warmer. This is really neat. The rice is always just right never over/under done.I live on fried rices, Basmati and Jasmine are my favorites. Basmati is brown, follow brown rice directions. Jasmine is white follow white rice directions.Cal Rose rice (sticky rice) is good but needs special handling or it will clump in a hard ball... (wash when done to remove sticky, then spread out to dry, before cooking fried rice. Very tasty..The steamer is great for veggies. The rest I haven't used yet...This is a 5 cup unit. The best overall size. I use three cups for the fried rices.This is quality unit. The parts are well made and unit is very easy to clean. The rice paddle is very handy. Don't skimp on a cheapy unit. You get what you pay for...Note: The measuring cup seems to compensate for final cooked rice volume, don't use standard measuring cups.

Question: What season is the product being used?

We've been using this product all Summer, with great results. Our 'normal' stick (an East Coast stick, as I understand that they are different on the West Coast) fits in fine - you do need to 'load' it from the bottom (remove the plunger, then insert), but that's not hard at all. Curved to 'fit' the ear of corn. And, we've had no issues with the top falling off. I do suppose it's true that it's not an airtight seal, but we've gone through its' capacity (1/2 stick) in no more than 2 meals, so it's not really an issue for us. It's also top-rack dishwasher safe, so clean-up is a breeze.

Question: How does the reviewer deal with the difficult to clean basket?

I am a huge Chicken Wing fan. I make them at least once a week. This fryer is great. I have been using this model for years and always buy 2 when I order them. I fry wings, mozzarella sticks, fish, hushpuppies, etc... Easy to clean the fryer itself. The basket, not so much. I throw out the basket as soon as I open the box and fry food directly in the fryer without the basket. Works great. Just get yourself some tongs for getting the food out of the fryer and your set.GREAT PRODUCT!!!!!!Rich,Lincoln, NE

Question: What is the only thing they recommend putting in the kettle?

Faster than a microwave, this kettle brings water to a boil so quickly, you'll be amazed. The outside is sturdy plastic and the inside appears to be high grade stainless steel. Our water supply is filtered well water and so far there has been no residue or scale build-up at all inside the kettle. I wouldn't recommend putting anything but water into the kettle to avoid accumulating undesirable residues.

Question: What is the type of writer the writer is?

Directions could have been better (especially diagrams) but I'm a technical writer so I'm fussy that way. It went together nicely nonetheless--I needed an extra pair of hands only briefly. For a really nice finish you'll need to devote some time to sanding, but it was OK as it came out of the box. Be sure to hang onto the big Allen wrench so you can tighten up the bolts when it starts to squeak after a couple of months. Overall, it's a good looking piece for the money. Packaging and delivery were all good.

Question: What does it work well with?

I own this frother, and it works well with the Nespresso espresso machine. It doesn't warm the milk too hot, which is nice when making a quick cafe latte. I like the spinning mechanism in the frother better than the Keurig, b/c it is easier to clean, and it doesn't burn the milk unlike the Keurig. The spinning mechanism is at the bottom, and it pops out when the frother is done warming up the milk. I originally thought that this was a flaw, but that is how the mechanism works. The spinner magnetically touches the bottom of the frother. Add warm water to clean the frother and it is ready for use again.

Question: What pieces are not even used by some people according to the author?

In a previous review I stated that I was new to baking and decided to buy a decorating kit.When I started buying different size tips, I found that I couldn't get one coupler to fit the larger tips, so it turned out to be a real challenge to find the right couplers.I later found out that some people don't even use couplers, they just drop the tip into the bag, but I really didn't want to go that route.This coupler set covers anything in the intermediate range.I have one extra large for a tip that I rarely use, a set of couplers for the small tips, and these couplers, which fit all the mid size tips.All bases are covered, they do a great job.

Question: What do you want to do if you're sleeping in cold conditions?

I purchased this air mattress and the Intex Nylon Flocked Queen air mattress. I think for the pricing difference this less expensive Pillow Rest Queen air mattress is the better choice than the more expensive Flocked mattress. Both worked well, needed a little more air added after a few days, both inflate and deflate quickly. I have owned other air mattresses in the past, low profile instead of the high profile of these two. BEWARE that the higher profile air mattresses allow more body heat to escape than the low profile, so be sure to insulate with blankets under you as well as over you if you are sleeping in cold conditions.

Question: How long did it take to assemble?

I ordered this frame in king size after reading the reviews and am really happy that I did. When I opened the box it looked like it might be difficult to assemble, but it was really easy! It took my husband and I about half an hour, and I honestly could have done it myself if I had to. It is solid wood and looks lovely as is, but can be stained to match your other furniture. It does sit a little higher than your average bed, but since we're using it without a box spring it is the perfect hight. Best of all, it is really sturdy and noiseless. It was exactly what I was looking for!I also have to say that this seller is great! World of Futons shipped this the day after I ordered (which was Saturday) and I had it by Wednesday! I've ordered much smaller items that took twice as long (or even longer)to receive. I really can't say enough good things about this seller and highly recommend them.

Question: Why did they think they couldn't make bread in the oven?

I bought this bread machine because I was really tired of buying bread at the store that listed ingredients on the bag that were about as long as the white pages. I figured that I probably couldn't bake bread in the oven, since I sometimes have trouble making toast, plus it is time consuming and messy. I figured I would go the easier route and buy a bread machine to make bread because it would just make me feel better eating fresh bread, where I know what is going into it.My grandma used to have a bread machine and I remember that smell of fresh baked bread being so awesome so that is an added bonus. I made two loaves of bread, one on the express loaf option (took about an hour) and the Italian Herb Bread (without the herbs because I didn't have any) and they both turned out great. The crust is perfect, the bread tastes amazing, and I can't wait to make more.I bought some good flour for the bread, by good I mean it is whole grain, grown in USA and any GMO. It actually wasn't a whole lot more than regular bleached flour, and cost me $4.00 at Wal-Mart (which surprised me) and I would buy it again.I would say that if you want some good bread that is easy to make, get this bread machine, because if I can do it...you can do it.

It actually wasn't a whole lot more than regular bleached flour, and cost me $4.00 at Wal-Mart (which surprised me) and I would buy it again.I would say that if you want some good bread that is easy to make, get this bread machine, because if I can do it...you can do it.

I figured that I probably couldn't bake bread in the oven, since I <hl> sometimes have trouble making toast <hl> , plus it is time consuming and messy.
