Question: What part breaks

Unfortunately, it all too often does not work properly. The round footprint is interesting, not over sized and the corded separate base is a definite advantage. It does boil water quickly when it actually connects.Shortly after I received the hot pot, the spring hinge of the lid stopped springing. It was stuck in an awkwardly angled position and took a lot of effort to get it aligned again. The lid has not created a tight seal since it was relatively new, so the automatic shut off often function does not work well. Since I am always in the kitchen when I boil the water, this has not been an issue. What is always an issue, though, is that the pour spout allows water to pour out the sides as opposed to a single stream out of the spout. Therefore, I have to lift the lid which of course has become heated with the boiling water.The last few days, I have encountered an additional problem with the Chef's Choice 675 Hot Pot. The on/off switch now does not always stay on so I cannot do other tasks in the kitchen but must stand next to the hot pot and try to get the on/off switch to stay on. I called the Chef's Choice customer service number and learned that my option is to send them the hot pot and they will take a look to determine if it can be fixed. They will then tell me if it can be fixed or if I must purchase another Hot Pot. I asked why I should send it to them since they wouldn't give me a repair cost and received no real response other than that's what I can do because I've had it longer than a year. I was unable to receive any cost estimate from the representative because she said she has no idea what is wrong with the pot. I assume that most people do this and then the manufacturer simply disposes of the faulty pots into a landfill and the customer is told they need to purchase another pot, but I'm not willing to do that. I will find a non-electric use for this Chef's Choice 675 pot and purchase a rival model that I sent my dad 2 years ago. That one cost less than half of this product and it works perfectly several times a day.

Question: How do you make this popcorn?

This is such a fantastic gadget. Honestly, read the packets of your microwave popcorn. Then go a step further and count the calories in that made with oil. Sure you have your fiber, but you just don't need all that to get a favorite snack.Enter this one...It's small but is a workhorse when needed for a party, popping 18 cups of popcorn in under 3 minutes. But here is the kicker: You can eat TWO cups of popcorn for only 30 CALORIES AND NO CALORIES FROM FAT.Win!Nearly 90 percent less fat than regular popped popcorn.So how does it work? With hot air. That also means there is virtually no clean up after use.It is easiest enough to use that even kids can do it and it comes with a butter or margarine melter that is also a measuring cup.Very few kernals were left unpopped. I bought Bob's Red Mill popcorn to use with it because they focus on the natural and I wanted a totally healthy snack. ( I have no affiliation but use lots of their stuff.)It's a clean and beneficial snack in so many regards and it fills you up for hours. And, at this low calorie a snack, why wouldn't you love it?

Question: How long has this product been available for the public to purchase?

For years I have seen this product in stores. After buying one and using it over & over again, I am a believer. Great for candies, chocolates, fondant, dough, bread, you name it. I never had a great place to roll out pie dough...now I do. Bake anything on it and it wipes clean. Fondant peels right off, royal icing cake decorations too. Nothing sticks on it, I love it. I don't have to buy parchment paper anymore..so it saves money in the long run. I also don't need to ever grease a pan with butter or pam, which saves more money. Saves time too, washing-pans only need a rinse instead of a soak & scrub.

Question: What is wider?

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: what kind of coating does the pan have on its surface?

Well constructed, heavy, durable...these pans provide even heat across the whole cooking area. The non-stick surface is far superior to those found on most other brands of cookware. Foods slide off with ease. Because of the aluminum construction, it is rarely necessary to turn the heat much over halfway on my electric range. I have to admit, my wife and I usually buy AllClad. At this price point, however, these pans were irresistible. When compared to AllClad, I do not believe we have given up any quality by owning these pans. We've only saved money.Note: For what it's worth, these pans are made in China, unlike the Calphalon Commercial from yesteryear. Guess that's why they are priced so low.

Question: What kind of beverage does the reviewer like to drink?

I wish I could leave this coffee maker 0 stars... The look of it is great but I was having problems with it within 2 months. The hot plate started going out so my coffee, when poured, wasn't hot. Then the water wouldn't seep in to the pot properly when making it so coffee started tasting horrible. I tried cleaning it numerous times to no avail.It has a lot of great features but whats the point to that unless it works.Steam from making coffee would also leak in to the clock of the coffee maker. I'm an avid coffee drinker and this is the worst one I have ever bought. I don't usually give bad reviews on Amazon, and I buy a lot of stuff here, but thought I had to make people aware of what they will be getting in to if ordering this particular Model. Their is plenty of other Black and Red nice looking coffee makers here on Amazon, or through Google, my advise is to buy one of them.

Question: What is the dehydrator mainly used to dehydrate?

Having read so many negatives, I couldn't believe we are talking about the same product. I have had my FD5 dehydrator for about 16 years. I dust it off & use it each summer to dry the fruits & veggies from the garden. I have not had any bad luck with it. Maybe I wasn't expecting a Rolls Royce for the price I paid - but it has certainly paid for itself many, many times over.

Question: What fits the bathroom appeal of many?

The beige textured background that mimics rice paper along with a plethora of butterflies and dragonflies amongst tall grass make The Lorraine Home Fashions Enchantment Shower Curtain very pretty! The neutral tones in the design certainly can fit the bathroom appeal of many. You can really base an entire theme off of just the curtain. For example, you could use ecru towels to softly blend or chose a more standout out color from the curtain to add appeal to your bathroom.This is your standard size curtain that measures 70-inch x 72-inch. It's fabric contest is PEVA (polyethylene vinyl acetate) which is free from chlorine, pvc, and its biodegradable. The material is basically chemical free, non-toxic, and safer for the environment. The holes are sized accordingly and it was easy to hang up. The creases from it being packaged went away after several showers. If I need it to be cleaned, I can do so with a damp cloth. The shower curtain isn't see-through at all.It's holding up well so far and in my opinion a good substitute to more expensive options such as the fabric types out there. Overall, it's a good price, nice design and I would recommend it. If this design isn't for you, note that the company offers many other nice designs.

Question: How can you wash the pan?

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 has to be clean?

I had been hesitant to get a pressure cooker for many reasons (safety being one of them and we have an electric stove and not gas), but after reading the reviews on this one I took the chance. Granted, like any device, you have to understand how it works and its "quirks", but once you learn, it is worth it.Now I can pressure cook with confidence and convenience. I've done pea soup in 15 minutes that turned out great. A pot roast in 50 minutes that was tender and tasty. Corn on the cob in 4 minutes, you get the idea.I highly suggest this pressure cooker, but realize you have to make sure the seal is clean, the pressure relief valve is in its proper position (parallel to the handle with it pointing to right while looking at the front of the cooker) and you will have a successful experience with this cooker.

Question: how long is the yogurt in the machine?

I have now been using my yogurt equipment long enough to have it down to a routine and the mistakes out of the way.Conclusion? A real winner.I am making two quarts of yogurt every other day. I heat the milk, cool it, mix the starter and put it in the machine for about 10/12 hours. I then put the container in the fridge to cool. I pour 24oz of it into my cheese machine, Cuisipro Donvier Yogurt Cheese Maker, and make it into 12oz of yogurt cream cheese. Most of the rest is mixed 2 to 1 with frozen strawberry puree and sugar to taste and then drunk.My hand plunger solved the soup problem. You really need to get the starter mixed well. Taste is outstanding.If you want to make yogurt, buy this equipment. You will be happy. After your first couple of mixes, it's a snap.

Question: What product is the review for?

I really like this dispenser. I didn't use the adhesive it came with. I purchase the 3M strips, water resistant type, instead. I didn't wish something stuck to my shower that if it broke I would chance damaging my shower wall removing it later. This is very easy to install, I just stuck the 3Ms on the back on the flat parts (i used 4) and stuck the mounting bracket to the wall and slid the dispensers on to it. The front part with the clear dispensers slides off the wall bracket so you can clean it easier. The white top is a cover so you can fill it while its on the wall. You need to prime the pump with the first use which takes a bit of time. Don't give up, just keep pressing the button until it dispenses. You can check you progress by removing the dispensers off the bracket and look at the clear valve behind the buttons...you can see if the liquid is making its way through or not. I use think cream rinse and it works fine for me. This is just a really neat item. I'm going to purchase another one for my other shower.

I use think cream rinse and it works fine for me. This is just a really neat item. I'm going to purchase another one for my other shower.

I really like this <hl> dispenser <hl>. I didn't use the adhesive it came with. I purchase the 3M strips, water resistant type, instead. I didn't wish something stuck to my shower that if it broke I would chance damaging my shower wall removing it later. This is very easy to install, I just stuck the 3Ms on the back on the flat parts (i used 4) and stuck the mounting bracket to the wall and slid the dispensers on to it. The front part with the clear dispensers slides off the wall bracket so you can clean it easier. The white top is a cover so you can fill it while its on the wall.

Question: Why are old fashioned basting brushes not sanitary?

I have never felt that the old-fashioned basting brushes were all that sanitary, because you really can't clean between the bristles. This basting brust solves that problem perfectly! It is dishwasher-safe, and the silicone bristles are spaced widely enough for cleaning. I have looked at other silicone brushes in specialty kitchen shops like Sur La Table, but this brush is better than the brushes I saw there. The brush is very well made with a stainless steel handle.that is comfortable to hold and use. It should last for years. I recommend it.

Question: How wide is the blow range of the product?

I love this. I feel it is overpriced, but am not downgrading it for that because I still I haven't found anything else in this class. It is small, one foot tall, and has a great carry handle built into the back near the top. NONE of the outside surfaces get hot, even on high, and if it is picked up or tipped the safety tab on the bottom cuts it off instantly, so it is very safe for the kids and animals to be around. This is very important to us.The settings are 450 and 900 watts. The low setting is somewhat warming, the high really puts it out!When it is on, the ring around the switch on top glows so it is clear when it is on. It blowsabout a 90 degree width into the room.I wish there was a one hour setting on the timer, to go to sleep by. And I wish they would make a smaller personal one with a 200 or 250 watt setting.

Question: What should the maker be wiped down with?

No more messy frying pans to make my ham and cheese grilled sandwiches. It is first and a excellent sandwich maker, but it can be used for other things, like frying bacon, warming sausage paddies, grilling hot dogs and making toast. Simple to use, plug in, when the second light turns green, put in what your cooking close the lid and in two to three minutes, your finished. Not only is it fast, hot and small, the best thing is clean up. Wipe it down with a paper towel and let it cool and put it away. I have been using it almost daily, fix my English muffin in the morning and make sandwiches for lunch, and sometimes I use it for fixing a evening meal. For the price, it just can't be beat, I compare it to my microwave as the two items all kitchens need. On a scale of one to ten, it is a 20.

Question: What would the user reccomend be included with this product?

I assume this Gen 4 unit will save energy better than than Gen 3(?) I have which is exactly the same otherwise. My 1500 watt Costco bought $199. unit (which I assumed would adjust wattage as I adjusted the heat level)just didn't. It runs at an average 1350 watts no matter what (using kill-a watt meter). So I guess they improved the unit to run at 1000 watts. A remote that works out of the box would also be helpful! Heat varies according to space requirements.Don't expect fast hot heating under 52 degrees. Best feature is its safety and non off gassing and non oxygen depleting features. Oh, a five year warranty.

Question: how does the author feel about the napkin holder

This napkin holder from OXO is a really interesting and cool design. I have to admit that I've never quite seen a napkin holder like it, and it's uniqueness really adds something to an otherwise boring dinner table. I definitely like the feel of it too - it's weighted and so it feels substantial, yer retains its sleek look. When the napkins start to get low in the holder, the weighted arm does make it mildly difficult to neatly pull out napkins - perhaps this is a mild nit-pick which can be easily remedied by just re-filling the napkins. But otherwise, I quite like this napkin holder.

Question: What brand is it?

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: How many years supply of sea salt does the product have?

The actual product is smaller than it appears to be on the website. However, it is far too big for the kitchen (as it holds about a five year supply of sea salt) and too small for a bathroom, should you wish to use it there (it holds perhaps enough salt for maybe four baths).The real problem:Not shown in the picture are large labels top and bottom, which are ugly. The labels are attached with glue, which you must spend at least an hour or more trying to remove the labels piece by piece.Even goo gone will not take away the glue covered surfaces top and bottom. What your left with is an item that will look used (like you picked it up at a garage sale).Also, the magnets top and bottom are in such a location that it is impossible to align the lid with the base.While the picture looks nice, this product, due to the unattractive labels and poor alignment, has been reduced to a throw away product.

Question: What is a potential danger of using a larger heater?

My swimming pool equipment sits out in the open. On the rare occasions when the temperature gets below freezing, I cover the equipment with a couple of mover's pads and, up to now, put a contraption with four incandescent light bulbs on it under the cover. But, with the demise of incandescent bulbs, I came up with this idea. The heater is small, and it doesn't put out many BTU's, but I think it will be adequate for me needs, and it is small enough for me to put it under the equipment cover without it being a fire hazard.

Question: What is a easy way to clean the Deep Water Bath?

This is a really good product but when first purchased we thought it wasn't going to work. 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: Where did the baster come from?

I received baster for free to review from the Amazon Vine program. On the quality side, I found this to be a well made product. It comes with its own little cleaning brush which is a plus. The downside was that it is pretty big compared to most other basters I have owned and a bit awkward to use. It is so large it takes up the limited space I have in my utensil drawer in the kitchen. Maybe for someone who does more large scale cooking the extra size would be a plus, but for my average size family cooking it just takes up extra space.The top accordion part has a wire ring in it so only squeezes up and down. It took me two hands to use it - one to hold the baster itself and the other to push up and down on the top. For me, normal basters with a bulb on top that can be squeezed from side to side are much easier to use.

Question: When might I need a spare part?

I have owned many different bread machines, and still do. The Zojirushi, the Panasonic and the Breadman Ultimate.This Zojirushi is becoming my favorite!It turns out great tasting, great looking loaves of bread every time.And the sourdough starter cycle does wonders.My only complaint is that the pan is not very nonstick. You have to shake it pretty hard to get the bread out. But big deal - as long as it comes out I'm happy!As far as Zo's customer service, I've never had any trouble. I have called them to order spare parts for my rice cookers, and to order a spare pan for this bread machine in case I ever need it. By spare parts I mean just that - spare. I have not had any defects. I just like having a spare pan etc on hand in case one gets scratched. No trouble getting them on the phone, no trouble with my order.I have absolutely no complaints. Zojirushi makes great, innovative products and you should not hesitate to get this machine.

Question: What size pans do they work perfectly on?

I finally abandoned aluminum foil and both types of aluminum pie shields in favor of the silicone pie shield. I use my own pie pans and make my own crusts and the aluminum shields never fit quite right.Harold Imports Mrs. Anderson's 9-Inch Pie Shield,Progressive International Pie Crust ShieldsI bought two of the pie shields, and they worked perfectly on my 9" pie pans even with the decorative edge on the crust. I left them on through the entire baking time, and the edge of the crust turned out nicely browned all the way around. The shield becomes very hot in the oven so care should be taken when handling it.The shield provides ample protection for the crust without covering the pie filling, and they can be easily removed without worrying about damaging the edge of the crust. Unlike the aluminum shields, the silicon pie shield won't become dented or banged up after a few uses or storage mishaps. This pie shield costs just a tad bit more than the aluminum ones, but it is well worth the extra cents especially if you bake a lot of pies.The shield is dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 450 degrees F.

Question: What surprised the reviewer abou the toaster?

I've has this toaster for about 5 months now. It is good for wide slices like rye bread, and it holds 4 sandwich slices nicely. It is holding up well to daily use and makes evenly toasted, predictably browned toast. My only grouse is that the cord is ridiculously (as in open to ridicule) short. The cord is made so short in their effort to make it "safe" that it presents it's own hazard. The toaster cannot be plugged in to the wall and still be out from beneath the upper cabinets in my kitchen. But that seems to be industry standard now, and it's a good toaster otherwise...the cool touch sides really are, which surprised me. You can put your hand on the side while it is in use and not get burned (of course do NOT put your hand on the TOP when it is in use).

Question: How much faster is Ecopure?

I live in NYC where the tap water is already above standards. Therefore, i don't need a reverse-osmosis or serious filtration system as if i were living in Southern Cal (where the calcification is ridiculous), or other city with subpar water municipalities. I use a Brita filter simply to remove chlorine taste, but i was fed up with the pricey filter cost. Ecopure is much cheaper, and does the job just as well -- without annoying charcoal particles or slow filtration. I'd say the Ecopure filters about 40-50% faster than Brita, a detail that may seem unimportant but guess what? I don't spend as much time standing in front of the sink waiting to fill up a pitcher.

Question: What setting is the rice cooker set on to fix a cup of Zoji steel cut oats?

I bought a Zojirsuhi water boiler for my tea, and liked it so much I decided to give this rice cooker a whirl as well. Just like the water boiler, this rice cooker has a somewhat technical appearance at first glance. I find it appealing.It comes with a little plastic measuring cup, a super cool studded rice paddle and a clip tp secure the paddle to the side of the cooker. It's not hard to use at all. Its important to use only the measuring cup that came with it. The rice cooker takes literally ALL of the hassle out of making perfect restaurant quality rice, I make basmati rice a lot, and have made sushi rice for sashimi. Mmmm. Wow. I couldn't believe I made it. The reason I use it every day is for steel cut oats. I never even heard of them before I read the reviews here. What a revelation. I set the cooker on porridge and set the timer before I go to bed. If you've never tried them, you should cook up a zoji cup of steel cut oats and 2.5 to 3 cups of water. You just KNOW that this stuff is good for you. LOL. I want to point out that this rice cooker has a surprisingly small foot print. It is about the size of a toaster. I was worried that it would be the size of a football helmet, but it most certainly is not.

Question: In which rooms is this user keeping these products?

This is a good product. Upon first ordering it, it worked well but then the fan started making a lot of noise and wouldn't stop. The company was contacted and they replaced the device without question, mainly because others had also complained about the fan. The company remedied the problem by having these devices re-manufactured with a different fan (I don't mean they repaired the one I sent them - I mean all their future devices were manufactured with a better fan). So they mailed me a new one at their own expense and it's been working great ever since - no noisy fan ever again. I was also pleased with their customer service - actually got a very nice, real live,courteous, friendly person on the phone who bent over backwards to be helpful. So I'm completely satisfied with this purchase and it continues to be a great little workhorse. I have one in the bathroom and one in the laundry room.

Question: What happens if the hopper and lid are not in place?

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 rating does the reviewer give the filter?

How does one review a water filter? I made several pots of coffee in my new coffee maker w/o the filter. They tasted very good. Next I inserted the filter and made more coffee. I could not detect any difference in taste. It still had the same good taste. So, either my taste buds are jaded or my unfiltered water is just as good as the filtered version or the filter is not designed to alter taste. Based on my experience the only thing I can review is the filter setup. The filter holder slides easily out of the slot in the bottom of the water compartment. The filter is simply placed into the holder which, in turn, is effortlessly inserted back into the water compartment. Not having anything else to go by I feel obligated to rate the filter a 5 due to its ease of use. However, because I have been making coffee w/o a filter for my entire adult life I will continue to do so in the future and forego the purchase of additional overpriced filters and instead buy that Lamborghini I always wanted.

Question: What did they bake in the silicone pan?

This is my second set of silicone. The other set I have is a bit thicker, but as you need to put this on something else anyway, I'm not sure thinner matters. It might even be easier to pop muffins out.Several reviewers mentioned sticking and cleaning issues. I have always used at least some oil and have had no problem removing my muffins as long as I am patient enough for them to cool down. A bit of twisting and pushing from the bottom and they pop right out.As to cleaning, I just soak for a few minutes in hot soapy water and then wipe out with a paper towel. Then I throw it in the dishwasher. Maybe the people with problems are cooking something very sticky?I like these silicone pans a lot.

Question: Is it dishwasher safe?

If you are going to only use this in a cup holder, it is great! It insulates well and keeps my water cold and refreshing.The big design flaw is the top-heavy design. I have knocked this thing over many many times and sometimes 3 or 4 times in one sitting. Last night, the wind blew it off of the bleachers while watching a ball game.Also, the lid is a bit warpy and will not seal perfectly.If you decide to wash in the dishwasher, it will get water inside of the double wall and leak all over the place for about 15 minutes.I wish I could give more stars because I love the capacity and insulating, but the top heaviness makes it almost unbearable.UPDATE:I got another one of these, because I lost the first one. The lid does not leak on the second. It is still a top heavy mug, but you learn to adjust.If you don't need the cup holder, then get the keg shaped version in the same 34 oz size. I use one for around the house to keep my water refreshing without sweating on the furniture.

Question: What items other than bread can be made in this machine?

I would say this is the best breadmaker ever, but it's the only one I've owned. After careful consideration and reading other reviews, I picked this one almost 3 years ago... and I'm so glad I did! I know my bread is going to turn out great every single time. Want everyday bread for sandwiches? Done. Want a fancy bread for a special occasion? Done. Want to make dough or jam? Done. Like I said, I have no idea what's even in the bread aisle at the store because I can easily make it all at home.It's only me eating the bread, so I find this size to be about right - I can eat it up before it goes stale. If I ever need to upgrade to a 2lb loaf, there's only one brand I'll consider.

Question: What is the best part of this hamper according to the author?

When I went off on a college internship, I knew space was going to be tight. This hamper is very durable and great for taking your items to the laundry and then toting them back to your apartment. The Pocket on the side is great for keeping all your detergents at hand especially if there are doors you have to open or even 3 flights of stairs in my case; great to have at least one hand free when walking. The best part of this hamper is the flexibility of it. If you don't need it you can fold it flat, and even twist and fold it up to just about the size of your hand. Even now back at home, I still love using this hamper for toting my cloths to the washer and dryer. This hamper beats a traditional cloths basket any day, hands down.
