Question: What is left when you remove the base

I'm in a tiny RV and got this for the foldaway feature. It's bigger to store than any of the 10" and 11" skillets I've had in the past. You remove that base, and there are feet under it, just like on the non-foldaway ones. In fact, the base clogs up the inside, so the lid can't be stored with the handle down. Its snap-off handles are wobbly, making it feel insecure to lift. This whole foldaway structure seems to be a waste to me.It heated quickly and cooked fine, so I gave it 3 stars, but most of them do. I wanted this one for the foldaway feature.Someone commented that all the parts stored inside might scratch the teflon, so I kept the piece of thin foam that protects the inside. I line it with that before storing the parts.It's nice and deep.I'm pretty sure I'll replace it in the near future.

Question: What are the bad things about this press?

Love it. Beautiful french press. Perfect size for either one or two. If drinking coffee alone, the amount is little enough that you won't waste any, and if you have a friend, you'll still have enough for the both of you. Materials-wise, this is perfect. I've had many french presses where the pressure of plunging spills coffee out everywhere and over everything. Not this one. The seal is good and feels well made. It shows no signs of age after using daily for months now.The one downside is that the press does little to no insulating, meaning your coffee gets cold fairly quickly.

Question: What aren't insulated and allows the coffee to cool too quickly?

I ordered this French press because I wanted to take my drip coffee maker off the countertop to make way for an espresso machine and bean grinder. My biggest complaint about French presses is they are not insulated and the coffee cools too quickly. This press is stylish enough to leave out on my cooktop and keeps my coffee hot for at least an hour. It is also well made, heavy and not flimsy at all. While I am not sure it would hold 42 ounces, it makes enough coffee for me. If you have a lot of coffee drinkers, you would be making more than one pot. I preheat the pot by filling it with hot water while I am waiting for my water to come to a boil. It is also easy to clean.

Question: What were they looking forward to baking?

I'm an inveterate amateur baker, so I was thrilled to find these, and looking forward to making batches of nano-brownies and micro-spaniards. Unfortunately, while this mold may be suitable for cold-molding, I can't consider it suitable for baking.Upon opening the plastic package, I noted a sickly-sweet chemical smell. After washing the molds by hand, and then in the dishwasher, the smell was much stronger, to the point of being offensive (I used the sanitize cycle, which does heat stuff up).After airing out overnite, the smell had faded, so I decided to test to see if would transfer to food baked in the molds - I mixed egg whites with an equivalent amount of milk (an extremely scent-neutral mixture), and baked it in the molds at 350 for 20 minutes (I should have done that for only ten, to avoid any Maillard reaction). I also sprayed half the mold with cooking spray and left half ungreased, to see if this would make a difference.After baking, the smell (and taste) was very noticeable in the custards from the greased half of the mold, and slightly noticeable in the souffles from the ungreased half.I'm one of those people who is very sensitive to odors and odd chemistry, so YMMV. But I will not be using these in my kitchen.

Question: How does the surface feel after washing it?

This is a wonderful chopping board! I think this will be my next Christmas gift for all my family and friends ;) The surface is so hard it barely gets scratched in it so it always feels like it comes really clean when washing it, unlike all my others that feel rough and get things stuck in the grooves. It doesn't stain either. Also, the sellers are very helpful and friendly. The only reason for giving 4 stars instead of five is because I thought the board had such a hard surface, based on the description and after seeing the product for the first time, that it would not allow any etchmarks to get embedded in it but then found out that it does allow scoring in order to protect the knives so, while that's good, I still wanted it to stay pretty for longer! Oh well. Still...great company, great invention, great product!

Question: Does this popper pop all the kernals?

This popper is awesome ( as poppers go). Long ago I had another brand, but this Presto is blazing fast and pops every kernel.. I put it to the test with 6 brands and never had more than 1 or 2 unpopped kernels. The size and volume were another thing entirely. All samples are of the same weight of popping corn (weighed for accuracy on a postal scale). Some popped up twice the volume of others. The mushroom popcorn was purchased on Amazon (Mushroom Popcorn Kernels - Just Poppin Brandby Just Poppin). How did they taste? Pretty much the same, except the Trader Joes Organic was tougher and more chewy.

Question: Which product is better according to the reviewer?

Ok here is a review you can count on as I have been preparing fondue for many many years now and I thought I would give this make a try. BIG mistake at least for oil cooking such as beef and chicken. The Cuisinart heats quicker and cooks much better even though they are the same wattage. The Trudeau has a fork holder/splatter ring that is way too big and leaves little room for cooking even for just two people. Four people cooking would be a mess. It is better for cheese or chocolate compared to Cuisinart though as it has the insert bowl to keep the cheese or chocolate from sticking, and is easy to clean up. The Cuisinart is a MUCH better overall fondue pot and for a LOT less money, plus it is dishwasher safe. The Cuisinart also has a non stick coating (great for oil cooking but not cheese) which is awesome. The only problem with the Cuisinart is the absence of an inner bowl insert for cheese and chocolate. The Trudeau is way overpriced for what you get. Think twice on this one.

Question: Where do the sides pop out on the hamper?

It's a simple hamper so there's not much to comment on other than one thing that is slightly annoying and the reason for 4 stars - In the picture, the hamper stands perfectly straight but 2 of the folding creases on are along the left and right wall so the minute some dirty clothes go in, the sides pop out at the fold, which runs vertically down the middle of the left and right walls, and the hamper starts to bulge and lose its rectangular form. It's not terrible, but I, personally, would rather have a hamper that doesn't bulge. Other than that, it's solid.

Question: Was the cabinet easy to put together?

This cabinet is very easy to assemble. It says "no tools", but I found it handy to have a rubber mallet for tapping pieces into place. It is a one-person job, no problem. Once assembled, this unit is pretty sturdy and looks to be very durable.I bought several of these to use in my barn, to keep my equipment and supplies out of the dust that inevitably accumulates. I am a bit disappointed that the front doors don't quite meet each other. There is a gap, up to about a quarter of inch. So these cabinets won't keep the contents as dust-free as if I stored them in stacked plastic bins. And they are definitely not rodent-proof! But they are much handier to use than a pile of plastic bins, so I am still happy with this solution.

Question: What does the author struggle to do?

I have not bought a vacuum in many decades so maybe I am easy to impress. However, this machine is amazing. It was easy to assemble, the attachments are logical and it is quiet for a vacuum.It became obvious how great this vacuum is when I went over areas I had just cleaned with my old vacuum. Everything looks better. We have a lot of tile floors and this handles those as well as carpets. The dirt cup is super easy and neat to empty.I did struggle using this to clean our 15 carpeted steps to the second floor. The hose is very tight on the new machine and I hit myself on the head a few times by pulling the vacuum over. This is mostly a learning curve issue and I do not hold it against the machine.I defy anyone to find a better vacuum for 80$. It is amazing.

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

Love this elegant glass mug for my tea! The design is so very simple yet so very elegant yet the glass is nice and thick. I don't think the thickness would protect it much if I were to drop it onto the floor but the double wall of glass does help keep my tea hot and keep my glass from sweating. I hate when my tea gets cold too fast, or when it starts to sweat down the side of my cup all over my desk. Now I don't have that problem. The lid I found to be a very useful idea, for I can string my bag of tea bag through the top and then hang it down for my desired amount of taste. Now I don't have to fuss about where to put my string and it just looks so very elegant. The only down side I have to about the mug is that I wish it would hold more than a cup of tea for sometimes I find myself wishing it was a little bit bigger.

Question: What did the pans need to fit?

I bought these pans thinking that this style/size would be a universal size for all types of tins. I already own two of the Wilton Jumbo pans and assumed these would be the same. These cups are wider than wilton, resulting in a shorter, fatter muffin than if I put the same amount of batter into the Wilton pan. Also, the dark coating has had a tendency to burn the edges of my products before they are through cooking in the middle. These may say non-stick, but I always spray as I do not use liners when baking jumbo muffins for our local cafe.If you are looking for a taller muffin pan, I would recommend using Wilton's:Wilton 6-Cup Jumbo Muffin Pan

Question: Which is the only one they used?

I am only writing one review on these pans. They are so much easier than the old spring for pans with the clamp on the side. I ordered all three sizes -- the eight, nine, and ten-inch pans. Have used only the ten inch- one and given the eight-inch one to a grand daughter. Still have the nine-inch new in the box. This is absolutely a great product. I bake the cheese cake in it without the foil wrap in the water bath. It does not leak and is SO easy to remove the ring when ready. I'm so glad I "sprung" for it.

I ordered all three sizes -- the eight, nine, and ten-inch pans. <hl> Have used only the ten inch - one and given the eight-inch one to a grand daughter. <hl> Still have the nine-inch new in the box. This is absolutely a great product. I bake the cheese cake in it without the foil wrap in the water bath. It does not leak and is SO easy to remove the ring when ready. I'm so glad I "sprung" for it.

Question: what item is the writer reviewing?

This item is lightweight and very slim in design. In a kitchen,where space is limited, we found the scale was easy to use and quickly store, in an upright position, for instance. We love that it is flat and easy to clean. For instance, if something spills on it, it is very easy to wipe off-no nooks and cranies to worry about. We've also used this for shipping the occasional package,over the last week or so, and the flat surface is excellent for balancing small packages. The readout is very large and extremely crisp and clear, which makes assessing weight a snap. It also fits in nicely with the design of many kitchens and appliances on the market today (stainless steel, or black/white appliances. Highly recommended, multi-use tool!

Question: Will this cut through a pizza without difficulty?

I have struggled with a cheap rotary cutter for years. It never gets through the crust very well and the cheese gets stuck on the blade too.This is a great solution to horrible rotary cutters. It is long enough to cut through a small pizza without repositioning but a larger pizza will need you to slice, and shift to get the whole thing cut across.It is very sharp and has a great curve to it that helps to rock it across the pizza. The top is wide enough to allow for a good grip but doesn't add a ton of weight.I really like using this so much better than the old fashioned, cheap rotary cutters.

Question: How long does it take to brew two cups?

I purchased this after my daughter moved out. She likes K-cups, I like my own decaf brands of coffee. This way we can have both, kind of.It is very slow heating - takes four minutes for a cup of coffee. Not a problem, unless you want to brew two cups - with the two minute recommended wait, it takes ten minutes. So count this as strictly a single cup coffeemaker.I like the choice better than the Keurig - because you fill this with exactly the amount you have in your cup! No overflows, no problems. Pour it in, everything comes out.It has a nice small footprint and is perfect for me. But if all you want is a single cup, there are a lot out there that are cheaper and that will provide a single cup much faster. Only get this one if you need the extra features.

Question: Why didn't the writer buy the blender online?

I bought this last night from a brick and mortar store, I didn't want to wait for shipping. So far I am impressed. I am following a 3 day detox/cleanse from Dr. Oz's site, so I picked up this blender. The unit feels really well built and sturdy. The grips on the bottom of the device are like superglue, the device is not going to go anywhere. It packs a punch and does so without making you wish you had ear protection. It does not take up too much counter space, which is a huge plus. So far I am happy with it. I read the booklets that came with it and made sure to follow the directions. One of the books has recipes and is very bright with color. I made 3 shakes with it last night and it powered right through them. I had no leaking and everything was very well blended.Owned it for one day, no regrets about my purchase.

Question: Which size pans are more practical if you are cooking with items on more than one burner?

I cook almost entirely with cast iron. Most of my pans and dutch ovens are Lodge and I've been very happy with them. The T-fal is cheaper, but not by much. For $26, this pan is surprisingly underwhelming.Like others have mentioned, the finish isn't very smooth, compared to Lodge. This isn't too big a deal because over time it will get there with regular use. But for most people, we like to have the smooth finish from the start and save ourselves the frustration of seasoning over years of cooking.I've often struggled with using 12-inch pans at home. They work okay on a gas range, but for the most part they seem to be far too large for day-to-day cooking. A 10-inch pan is much more practical, especially if you've got things on the other burners.This isn't terrible. It's cast iron, and it does it's work fine. I've decided this will be my camping skillet and leave the Lodge for cooking at home. It does what it's supposed to, but it doesn't have quite the same finesse as the Lodge pans.

Question: What was the original purpose for the bin?

As you surely realize, this is a handy bin for storing bathroom sundries. It'll hold maybe six shampoo bottles, depending, of course, on how large your shampoo bottles are. I'm actually going to use mine to hold cleaning supplies, 'cause I always worry about them leaking a little bit and damaging my lovely wood vanity.This is rigid, and just a little bit flexible. And as indicated in the pictures, it has a glossy finish. It came wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent scuffing. The label on the bottom says that it's made in USA. It does not appear to be made of recyclable plastic.For clutter control, it seems like a perfect little thing for under the sink, and I imagine I'm going to get hooked on it and getting more of them. I love that they come in a variety of colors, and just wish they were a little bit less expensive.

Question: What was the first beer this person tried?

2 Buddies and I decided to try a couple brew kits. We went together and purchased a 5 gal. kit, and I ordered the Mr. Beer kit to try myself. The Mr. Beer kit was much easier to prepare, than a kit with separate ingredient packs, with malt, barleys, hops, etc.The Mr. Beer process is simple, and relatively rewarding. However, for proper beer making, allow about 4 weeks from start to finish, instead of the minimum 2 weeks. I'm on my second batch now. The first batch yielded a simple, yet satisfying Cowboy Lager. It is not complex, but refreshing, with great carbonization. My next is is Wicked Red.The initial Mr. Beer recipe is quite simple in comparison to the other brew we made in 5 gallons with a larger, more expensive kit. That beer turned out really rich, with a full flavor, and quite hoppy. Not my preferred taste, but my buddies liked it allot. For the price, and simplicity, Mr. Beer is awesome.

Question: What brand of processors has the author owned over the years?

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: what is one way you can store these spoons?

I have had this set for almost a year. They replaced my other set that I had for almost twenty years. I love the different variations of spoons in this set. I use at least two of them every day! These spoons are super long. I wasn't sure I would like the length but I haven't thought twice about it since opening them up. I love how the top part has more of a rubber touch to it. I also love the fact that you can have the ability to hang these spoons. I bought metal hooks and they hang on my refrigerator. Kind of dresses up the kitchen a little. If you do a lot of cooking these are a must have.

Question: What is the problem with the length of the hose?

We purchased this a few months ago. Since we purchased it, it has been a terrible product. First, the machine constantly clogs. Expect to have to turn it off and reach your hand up into the canister to clear it out at least 4 times while vacuuming one room. There is very little suction both before it clogs and after clearing a clog. The HEPA filter slides out by itself while vacuuming a room. The hose is very short making it very difficult to reach distances. It also falls over easily. This may be problematic if you have children. All in all this was a bad purchase. I have no idea why this has so many good reviews. Think twice before buying this one.

Question: Is it built for the winter?

I purchased this item on sale from Amazon for 5.99 each. For the price, the product is just fine. It's not very thick - definitely a summer weight if you're looking for warmth, but again, for $6 I don't expect a delux blanket. We use it as a floor blanket to put over the cold tile in winter for our dogs. Folded in half, it provides a reasonable layer of protection from the tile and has held up ok after about 2 months of washing.My review of this item is very heavily based on the price I paid for it. The item isn't delux, but at this price point, it's perfectly acceptable.

Question: What part of the country does the woman who purchased the item live?

I am not sure what happened to those who had trouble with this little heater. This heater works just great for us, no "hot wall plug", no "short cycling of the fan/heat" and it keeps my Mom happy during these unusually cold days we have had in the south this winter. I keep the house at a steamy 72 degrees and Mom likes it to be very much warmer.

Question: What did some buyers say about this products taste?

I bought these knowing that some buyers mentioned they tasted plastic. I also taste plastic but I still like these because they are easy to drink out of without having to slide or flip a lid opening while driving. They also fit in my cup holder. Unfortunately I also like chai latte. I will never use this for a drink that has milk because I don't see a way to effectively clean the lid. I have another wide based stainless steel mug that I can't use in the car. It has a slider that opens and closes the drink slit. I have to periodically take apart the slider to clean the lid. The milky drink manages to stick to all surfaces and rot. UGH! I would still recommend this travel mug because it keeps drinks hot, it fits in the holder, it is easy to drink out of and doesn't spill. Only for tea or black coffee though and put up with plastic taste.

Question: What happened when it was turned on?

The flimsy construction made set up a nightmare. It should have taken 10 minutes, instead it took 30. The float for the cut off switch is a flimsy plastic rod stuck in a chunk of Styrofoam. Lining it up with the switch in the top almost had me screaming in frustration, mostly due to the flimsy construction of the base. The plastic is so thin it flexes at the slightest touch, which created the following sequence: Try and put the top on the base and first one side of the base pops out, get that side in and the back pops out, get the back in and the other side pops out , get the base all lined up and on and the float rod isn't lined up with the switch, take the top off and start all over again, continue ad nauseam...Then get every thing lined up, fill with water, turn it on and find out the fan is broken, return.

Answer: find out the fan is broken

Question: What is difficult to clean?

I've been using this coffeemaker for some time now. I have to say that it produces a fine cup of coffee. However, it is a pain to use.I like the idea of a grinder and brewer combination coffeemaker, but I think they need more innovation because the product needs some improvement.I stopped programming the coffeemaker because on rare occasions the grinding/brewer cycle would start and somehow blow open the maker. The result was a disaster. Grounds everywhere and crappy coffee.Another thing I don't like is that it's difficult to clean. In fact, it's a tedious process that takes too long.Again, I like the coffee. I just don't like a coffeemaker that's a diva.

Question: What types of fruits would the product be good for juicing regularly?

As someone who's fond of making margaritas and Moscow mules, it's a lot easier when you have a citrus squeezer. I originally had one of those manual juicers with a jar under it to catch the juice, but it was just inefficient and quite messy.This has been a breeze to use and clean. AND as an unforeseen added bonus, the bright cheerful yellow color has made it extremely easy for my blind-as-a-bat boyfriend to find. Instead of standing in front of the open drawer yelling, "Where's the lemon juicer!".. he actually finds it himself.I would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs to juice limes or lemons regularly.

Question: Where is the it kept?

Krups GVX1-14 Burr Grinder , BlackI bought this grinder to replace an old (25 years old!) Waring burr grinder. Was concerned about the height, but at just 10 1/2" high, it fits nicely in my coffee cabinet. Rubber feet keep the machine firmly in place when grinding, and the noise is not unusually loud for a burr grinder. Seventeen settings assure a perfect, even grind from coarse to powder fine. The unit is easy to clean and a small brush is provided for removing excess ground coffee from the hopper. My only complaint is that the burr must be removed and cleaned frequently, and this was a little tricky for arthritic fingers. Grinder can be set to grind for 2 to 12 cups of coffee. Has an illuminated off/on bean hopper light. Safety feature: grinder will not operate unless hopper and lid are in place. A good-looking, well-engineered, superior grinder and well worth the money.

Question: What do I spray in this

We recently broke our 8 inch glass Pyrex and decided maybe we'd try metal instead. We were at a local store and my wife grabbed an 8 inch pan off the shelf. I noticed it was made in China and put it back on the shelf. I then saw Chicago Metallic and grabbed one, only to find out it was also made in China. I went around to the other side of the isle and noticed USA Pans. I knew that they're the best and made in the U.S. because I have the Pullman Loaf pan. You could drive over this pan with your car and it probably wouldn't do much damage.....really. You get what you pay for. This pan works well. Just know that you still need to spray this pan or use oil, butter etc. It does an amazing job with the Cooks Illustrated Corn Bread recipe (the one with actual corn kernels in it).

Question: How many pads do I plan to buy more?

Others have had size problems, but these fit the Shark XL which has the larger head. They are a little larger than the head and fit loosely. I am hoping that shrink a little after washing. I made them fir tighter by wrapping the Velcro edge around and over the pad and attached it to the pad instead of the other Velcro surface. I only used it once but I believe these pads clean better than the ones that came with the steamer. These have a flatter surface that seems to contact the floor better than the shag-like surface of the original. I plan to buy a few more.

Question: What did this person do with the tp holder?

The pros to this tp holder are what others have said - quality finish, looks great. I'm returning it because the arm that holds the roller is very crooked, as one reviewer noted, and I know that will bug me - every time I'd look at it I'd see that crooked arm. It's disappointing to get something that appears to be of quality materials, but the workmanship is poor. All the confusion over what bracket to purchase was frustrating, as well. I tried to find a bracket locally without success. Everyone wondered why the correct mounting bracket just didn't come with the tp holder when I ordered it. Good question. Anyway, I'm returning this one. I found one at PlumberSurplus.com and they sell the correct bracket with it ... and free shipping.

Question: What kind of breakfast have you made?

Visitors to my kitchen spot this pan and often ask what I use it to do. My answer: "Name it". Sautee some chopped onions before adding in fresh fish or poultry? Check. Scamble up an omelet with saugage on the side? Not a problem. Mix up a batch of cornbread dough, pour it into this pan then pop in the oven? Don't waste my time!It's just a terrific can-do pan that does everything I've dreamed up for it to do, cleans easily, and is ready for more. I've even started a few meat dishes in the pan before finishing them in the oven, that is browning on the stove top and slow roasting or baking in the oven to finish up. If you don't have one of these pans in your kitchen, you need to add it to your collection because you'll wonder, as I have, how you got along without it to this point.

Question: What did the customer say about assembly?

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: In addition to measuring cups, what did I purchase?

I purchased both the Pyrex measuring spoons and Pyrex measuring cups. I really like how easy they are to clean. There are no ridges or markings in the cups or spoons for dirt to hide. The spoon heads are very flat and wide and have a pour spout at the tip giving them a teardrop shape. Each handle is shorter than the next making identifying the size as easy as ever. I can quickly grab them out of the drawer and pick out the size without having to flip through a ring. The magnets in the handle are strong enough to keep them together when in a drawer but weak enough that you won't pinch your finger. The pieces effortlessly come apart. I am very happy with both my spoons and cups.

Question: What level of firmness was the author looking for in a mattress?

I was looking for a very firm twin xl mattress. I'm a huge guy and need a very firm mattress to support my body weigh. The mattress arrived on time, unpacked it and let it expand for a day and a half, and then slept on it that night. It fits my needs without any problems. My whole body can relax once again, yet feel supported. I no longer wake up in the morning with my back hurting, as well as other aches and pains elsewhere from the old mattress.Only time will tell how long this mattress holds up. But hopefully it will last a few years. I will update my review as time goes on, but for now, I'm enjoying it.

Question: Where does the customers sink sit?

This is just so much nicer than the plastic expandable tension rod. It was not hard to hang up but you need two people to install it for sure. Read the directions and measure measure measure!! The only thing that keeps me from giving this 5 star is not REALLY a problem with the rod but my bathroom. It pushes the curtain further out from the tub - which it's supposed to. However my sink sits pretty close to my tub - it's tight quarters. So now the shower curtain catches in the drawer all the time and I really hate it. It's a minor inconvenience except for I bought a nice curtain that has now gotten all snagged up :( The directions about hanging the rod are very focused on getting you to put it up right over the ledge of the tub where a normal rod would mount - they never get you to check the clearance of anything else in the room.

Question: What is really easy to use?

The Bodum toaster is really easy to use, with just enough settings to give you exactly what you want, but not so many that you need a manual to figure it out. I really like the bun warmer and it has been handy a few times already. Basically the buns just sit on pop up rods over the toaster and the heat from the toaster warms them up. The toast comes out perfect every time and always comes out of the toaster properly. I haven't had any issues with toast getting stuck inside of the toaster, or burnt edges. This toaster is really big, but looks nice on the counter and I have had complements on it.
