Question: What part of the vacuum might get gunked up with pet hair easily?

At my house we don't have a lot of carpet, but we DO have lots of linoleum and hard pergo, so we were looking for a vacuum we could use to sweep our extensive hard floors. We normally sweep our floors with a broom, but the vacuum is so much more efficient and is lightweight and easy to handle- particularly for seniors. I especially like how well it works in the bathroom. It maneuvers easily around the toilet, and bookcases in my studio and finds dirt, pet hair and dust with ease. I even used it to sweep off the seats of my car to get rid of my Chihuahua's hair.It really works.The only thing I don't like having to do is clean it. And you have to nearly after every job, because it's capacity small and if you have pets, the rollers can get gunked up with hair pretty easily.Overall, this is a big success in my house.

Question: What did this person do to the K-cup?

I initially had a hard time getting a good and consistant cup of coffee from the EZ cup. To be honeset, I didn't buy the EZ cup because it was ecofriendly, or even because it would cost less per cup. I bought it because I love a good cup of coffee. They are few and far between when using K-cups, and even with all of the blends available in K-cups, there were some I liked that I still just couldn't get. I wanted this to wok, so I followed another reviewer's recommendations and cut the bottom off of a K-cup. This was to slow the flow of coffe through the device. Unlike the other reviewer, I didn't find that a 3/8" disk did anything, so I experimented. I wound up with a plastic disk that was cut just inside the protruding rim that you find on the bottom of each K-cup. It seems to slow the flow enough to strengthen the brew. I also used 2 TBSP of coffee per cup. I am getting a great consistant cup of coffee. I can make it allot stronger which is one of the reasons that I have a problem with K-cups. I used the EZ cup filter with fresh ground coffee. I agree that the EZ Cup spring tamps down the coffee and it seems to work better with more coffee and the plastic K-cup disk. Now I finally can get a strong cup of coffee regardless of whether a dark or lighter roast. I really think this has made the difference between a convenient coffee maker with mediocre coffee and a great cup of coffee. I hope you find this review helpful.

Question: Where do I like to put the pitcher in the fridge?

Finding a decent pitcher is much harder than I thought it would be. Seriously.I looked at Target, Wally World, other sellers on Amazon and even fancy department stores and I found it difficult to find a large pitcher that did not completely suck. I am convinced that perhaps this company is the only one that knows how to make a decent pitcher. Let me tell you why I love it.First of all it is made in the US. Maybe the last thing made here in this country. So thats a big plus in my book. Also it's large, but not humongus. I think maybe it might be the perfect size. It's sturdy. I like that. No tuperware film-flam here. I like that the lid fits perfectly and is simple and easy. I like that it fits in the door of my fridge (I have a standard size US fridge). It looks good too.I feel kind of silly reviewing a pitcher online, but seriously, it's hard to find a decent one. Like I said, this might be the only decent pitcher out there in the marketplace in my opinion.

Question: How many sweaters can it dry by putting up one side?

Sometimes the design of something is so cool that I like using it to just get to see it work and this is one of those items. I can have one side up to dry one sweater or both sides up to dry 3 sweaters or put the sides down and slip clothing on just the bars or fold it very easily to store. I can not say enough good things about this dryer and even though we have a new house, I have been known to show this dryer before showing off the house. I am still blown away at how much it can hold and how light it is. I do use it inside so I can't tell ya how it is in the wind. If you can't tell, I think it is the best I've seen!

Question: Does the item need to be attached to something?

These can be used with and without attaching them to the dogs. Obviously if you attach them they are more secure, but they work fine for painting and finishing if you just put them under the work on a counter top. I like the fact that they hold the work with minimum contact with it. This helps when I am finishing both sides and I have the work flat on a work table. If you use them with the dogs they just snap on and off. I guess there are other ways to get the job done and these are just a convenience.

Question: How much coffee can you grind in five minute intervals?

I really wanted to like this grinder, but a major flaw in it is that you can only grind 20 seconds worth of coffee every five minutes. I like my coffee strong, but I only make about six cups in the morning. This grinder only grinds half that amount during the 20-second time period (which is the maximum amount of grind time you can choose). According to the manual, when that 20 seconds is up, you have to wait five minutes before grinding again; otherwise, the manual warns that the motor may overheat. So, to grind my usual amount of morning coffee will take 5 minutes and 40 seconds. That's too long for my rushed mornings.I returned the grinder for that reason.

Question: Who is the skillet a good size for?

This thing is great! I've only had it a couple weeks so I can't attest to its longevity, although all the other Presto products I have keep doing what they're supposed to without any breakdowns so I'd guess this one's no exception.Since I got this in the mail, I've made all sorts of stuff - fish/oyster courtboullion, pancakes, hoecakes, a seared steak (Yum!), even a cake! There's so much you can do with it. Another advantage is that it's allot more energy efficient than using a range top. All the energy is directed to one purpose, and not heating up your kitchen instead.And NOTHING sticks to the surface! The test of this was to cook coarse-ground yellow grits in it. They have a fairly high sugar content and will stick to virtually anything while cooking over an hour, creating a several hour soak to clean. Groats do this also. Anyway this skillet did the job. I just flipped the skillet over and out came the grits! I didn't even have to pry them out! I'm very pleased with this skillet, and it's the perfect size for a couple people. Great stuff!

Question: What size are Japanese cups compared to American cups?

Zojirushi really knows how to make a rice-cooker.Be ware.. 10-cups refers to Japanese cups, which are smaller than American cups.Pros:-- can cook a variety of rice and other grains (even more than its predecessors)-- extremely reliable results-- can keep rice warm for extended periods of time-- very easy to useCons:-- as with other models, the instruction book leaves a little to be desired-- very loud, annoying sounds when the rice is done. This only lasts a few seconds, but it is very assertive (if this is one of the 'cons', you know that the product is pretty much perfect)-- fairly large footprint, but it is light enough to store under the counter or in a less conspicuous place.

Question: To what rating was the product dropped to?

It looks good. It has actually useful and worthwhile features (temp, and "keep warm"). My coffee really does seem better at 175F (aeropress).In use though, you have to 'learn it'. Not hard, but bearing in mind we're not doing anything even a tad complex, seems a bit unnecessary. At the start there was a lot of trying buttons and not being entirely sure whether it succeeded or not.For example, my first use: hit the temp I want. It should have started, but it looks like it hasn't - heh, "Start" is unlit, press that; hey - now the temp is flashing, wtf? looks urgent, I have to press something... Hit the temp again... nothing changes. Oh, perhaps it just flashes like that in that urgent looking manner for no reason... Well, not too painful. Wait, I've finished with it, how do I make it stop...? What?, I really have to manually turn the thing off every time?This is all in the manual and not too obscure, but really, how much should I need a manual? How confused should a guest in my house be by /an electric kettle/?At this price I expect someone to do a quality design of the controls, not just the aesthetics. I do like the kettle and I'm feeling generous so I'm giving it a 4, rather than a 3, but it's a close thing.Review Edit: definitely dropping this to 3 stars, might contemplate 2. My wife and I, who are pretty tech-savvy, get caught out by the silly interface for this frequently - both intending to turn it on and failing, and failing to turn it off when we're finished with it. Added to that, and it's increasingly failing to shut off from the boil setting in a timely manner. I think it still shuts off, but takes a couple of minutes of boiling. Overall, it's a nice looking product, but the user experience was not designed properly at all, and the performance is questionable.

Question: How do Zenith products hold up?

I like Zenith products because you are getting a good product for a decent price and they are pretty durable which is nice for bathroom use.Pros-heavy duty--looks nice--good for removing bathtub/shower clutter--I have had the product for over a month and have not yet noticed any rust.Cons-slides down shower head but does not fall off, not hard thing to fix but annoying--bottom shelf of rack is small in height so it does not fix much, more for razor, bar of soap and very small bottles--shampoo bottles barely fit on the top rack, this is probably because I have a large custom shower head, so if you have a large shower head you may want to find another product-

Question: what would the reviewer sometimes use to pick up all the stragglers?

Why did I wait so long to get this ????? I hated dragging the cutting board over to the pan to scrape off diced veggies. Sometimes I would use my hands and have to pick, pick at all the stragglers. This is the handiest tool ever ! Scoops up my diced onions and gets them all. I don't have to use my hands to pick them up anymore or drag over the cutting board to the stove. Great for anything you are chopping up. I bought two more for my daughters.

Question: What is the reason the other brand doesn't work while spiralizing?

Don't believe the videos. The blade that holds the vegetable was too small and the vegetable kept slipping around and falling off while trying to turn it. Also, one of the tines was missing from one of the cutters and I was nervous about more of them coming off in my food. I really wanted this to work because I have another brand that spills veg juices on my counter while spiralizing. But I would rather clean up juices than worry about pieces of metal in my food or waste money on a gadget that doesn't work as advertised. I filed a claim with Amazon and got my money back.

But I would rather clean up juices than worry about pieces of metal in my food or waste money on a gadget that doesn't work as advertised. I filed a claim with Amazon and got my money back.


Question: what rating did the reviewer give the product?

I do like this set of bags very much.the best bags -size Large and Medium. then Extra Large -very good for the bed stuff. Jumbo Cube -too big, I didn t use it.not yet. the vacuum- seal is amaizing. and so fast. but roll-up travel bags I don t like it at all. that is why I rate only 4 stars. when you put the things inside this travel bag ,then you have to roll it.its not easy,the air doesn t go out .and you have to do it for long time to make it look ok and put it in to your suitcase. i send some clothing to my sister,and I used the Medium vacuum-seal flat bags, the size was so small,it was amazing how many things i put in.

Question: How long is the vacuum anticipated to last?

This is the second LG vacuum I own, pushing my older one downstairs to be used in our finished basement. They aren't light, so as great as I think they are, they aren't fun to carry up and down stairs.The older version had a button that retracted the cord. It was fun to watch the cord come home and this one is old-fashioned by comparison. So, the fun factor is gone. Likely, there must have been some complications with the push-button.One of the first duties of this vacuum was to remove broken glass inside my daughter's car, recently broken into by shattering a car window. It sucked up everything great, including nooks and crannies, and the cannister was easy to empty safely. I had some vision of opening the cannister only to have the contents pop out, but that wasn't the case at all.I do like the swivel action on the vacuum and overall am pleased with it. If I have any concern, it's durability. The older version did have some of it's plastic components break. I don't think this will be the last vacuum cleaner you ever buy, but it will do you well for a few years.

Question: What kind of product did she have previously?

I recently renovated my kitchen so needed a sponge holder to place a plastic one which was really gross even though I scrubbed it weekly. This holder looks nice in my new stainless steel sink, is small so it blends in nicely and is out of the way. When I initially stuck this on to the inside of my sink, it fell off twice. I lightly scrubbed the area and wiped it clean, the suction cup has been there for the last three weeks with no problems! It's also much easier to clean than the plastic one I had previously.I'd recommend this for anyone with a stainless steel sink who wants a simple holder that is small and unobstrusive.

Question: What did the reviewer wish for?

I love sushi, I will go even further and say that any food that you can turn into tube form is my cup of tea.I do , however, not carry the skills (yet) to wrap my own sushi in a tight, perfect manner. My attempts in the past have met with various degrees of results. Rice everywhere, halfway unrolled rolls spilling out innards like a cornucopia, rolls that were seemingly stable and then cut unraveling in unappealing ways.It is so much cheaper to make your own sushi at home, but because I have not yet perfected my technique. This device makes my lack of practice a non issue!The Leifheit Perfect Roll maker is a cheat, and perhaps goes against my usual attitude of "try and try again" but for sushi-sake I need it!The one I chose is the black one, small and with several pieces. I grabbed the instruction booklet and realized it was all in German, which is fine by me because it has PICTURES!!!!IF you cannot follow pictures, simple directions, then you dont deserve good sushi anyway. I had no problem figuring out how to use this simple kitchen device. The recipes are also in German, but cmon you can Google any recipe in seconds and it will do just fine. It doesnt make long sushi rolls, instead it makes short squatty ones. It is easy to set up and clean and put away.I still wish to learn the art of rolling sushi, but until then I will follow the Germans and Leifheit my way to yummy.

Question: What would the poster rate this product out of a 5?

This is the third Hippo Digital scale I have purchased in the past year, one for me and two for presents for others. The one I bought for me is fine, but one that I gave as a present a few months ago, lost the plastic covering over the "window" and the last one I just bought came broken and will only show grams and not pounds/ounces like it should.One good scale out of three is not a good ratio to me, so although I would rate the one I got as a 5 star, I have to give the product only 1 star. It's disappointing and bothersome to buy two gifts when one starts to fall apart and the other is broken from day one. Now I have to go through the hassle of a return.

Question: Why are the shelves great?

All good things about this item have already been said. This unit is absolutely true to the size stated in the description; shiny chrome finish, and a snap (literally) to put together. Shelves are easily adjustable, and the unit has self-leveling feet so if your floor (or wherever you place this) is uneven, you can easily fix the shelf for stability. Absolutely NO tools required - only about five minutes. The unit is extremely strong and sturdy. There is a 1" edge around each shelf, which faces downward, so if you have items that might have to "hang" over the shelf, or have a door that swings open and over the shelf, it's not a problem, because this 1" edge will not be in the way. You might find yourself looking for other places to use this thing... it's a super bargain! P.S. Watch the price on this item if you're not in a rush... varies between $15 - $20. on Amazon.

Question: why won't the door shut all the way?

This over the door towel rack consists of a white backboard piece and three chrome towel racks. It couldn't be easier to put together. There are three different size towel racks. There is a small, medium and large rack. Simply slide the rack through the holes on the backboard and snap it into place. Be sure to put the largest rack at the bottom, medium size in the middle and the small rack at the top. Once complete you are ready to hang it. It's easy enough to open your door and slide the hook over the top and that's all there is to it. The problem is that my door can't fully shut because it sticks out so far. I would say that it sticks out a total of about 5 inches so it will hit the wall long before the door will hit the doorstop. We have to be careful not to swing the door open too fast or it will hit and leave a big dent in the wall. At first I thought well maybe it's just our door but I would think it would be the same with pretty much any door. The hook at the top holds it firmly against the door so it doesn't bounce around or make noises. Depending on your door it might take a little extra effort to close it though. It seems very solid and not fragile at all. Our interior doors are white and it blends in perfectly with white doors. It makes the white backboard hardly noticeable. On the other hard I'm not sure how it would look against a natural wood colored door.Overall I think this towel rack is well made and looks nice. My only problem is how far it sticks out. The smallest rack is no problem but the largest of the racks is just a little too big in my opinion.

Question: What might happen in the future?

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

Question: How long does it take to get pepper out?

I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) My husband became obsessed with black pepper after he met me (I used to coat everything in it) but he uses the crappy pepper that has zero flavor when we go out to eat. So I bought him this (and so I could secretly use it because stale pepper is a pet peeve of mine) Well it's cute, and it works, however it's very difficult to grind the peppercorns and really doesn't put much out. I pretty much have to grind for 5 minutes to get enough to speckle anything. Cute, but I think next time I will spring for the pricier one and hope it works better.

Question: What is above the protector used?

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

Question: Why did the customer choose these specific glasses?

These glasses are just right if you want one glass for either white or red wine. Libbey glasses in general have usually held up to everyday usage so I chose them based on the brand.

Question: What is primarily plastic?

Mr. Coffee has outdone themselves with this coffee maker. It's important that you read the instructions and especially important that you prime the unit before you use it. Anyway, I've given this maker a good run creating all sorts of coffees. I've tried different grinds and types of beans, all with excellent results. The unit itself is primarily plastic but everything fits nicely. I have only one concern with the obvious connection made between the main unit and the milk frother. It is a bit tough pushing it in and later removing it. Only time will tell how well it really is. However the coffees you create using this maker is as good, if not better than what you can get out. Take your time to learn it, care for it and you'll be pleasantly surprised. I had originally put this on my Amazon Wishlist and was surprised when I received it as a Christmas present. I had it up and running the day after Christmas and have been happy ever since. One last hint.... Remember to use cold milk to get the best froth !!

Question: What brand is it?

Imagine kneading bread dough to perfection, in as little as 40 seconds! Its how I make FRENCH BREAD. I also make all my dinner rolls and sweet rolls in the Cuisinart (yum)!Easily mix cakes, quick breads, and piecrusts. Effortlessly chop, slice and shred food; you can even grind meat.Touch Pad: I love it's smooth, easy to clean and computerized touch pad.Buttons: (OFF, ON, Pulse and Dough) The dough button kneads bread to perfection in 30-40 seconds. Plus it features a powerful induction motor for HEAVY DOUGH. Note: Still ALWAYS only make 3 lbs. wheat dough (1 large loaf) even in this model. Wheat flour is twice as dense as white!Blades (4 total): This model uses two metal blades; with one for chopping, mixing, kneading dough (also for lighter dough recipes of 3 c or less white flour, particularly small wet sweet doughs). The other metal "dough" blade is for kneading the heavy dough recipes (anything over 4-6 cups of white flour or 3 cups wheat flour). There's also one 4mm slicing blade and a medium shredding blade (it's detachable stem fits either).Locking System: Here's where the PPP shines! :-) The improved lid and feed tube assembly (with it's safety locking system) is much easier to use (at least to figure out).Lid: Each Cuisinart includes a lid and 2 pushers (with a large feed and a smaller inner feed tube).If you want a "top of the line" food processor, for your smallest to larger needs, you won't be disappointed with this model! --Sharon AnneP.S.

Question: Are they as breakable as most porcelain?

As a child, I regularly had soft boiled eggs in egg holders similar, though not identical to these. I probably went over 40 years without having a soft boiled egg. Recently I warched the movie "Iron Lady" where Meryll Streep portrays Margaret Thatcher. In the opening scene of that film Thatcher serves soft boiled eggs in holders similar to these and it planted the seed in me to start eating soft boiled eggs again.Yes, these are porcelain, but knowing that, they're not unusually fragile - they're as fragile, indeed I believe LESS so, than a reasonable person would expect from porcelain. I think less so because they're actually pretty heavy. I don't envision the spoons breaking unless they're dropped. If used solely to crack eggs they're just fine.It's a nice set and One I think represents good value when compared to others available at this Website at the time of this writing. My set came with five spoons. I don't know if that was an error on the part of the ackaging company or if they've decided to add an extra just in case.

Question: How much water does the reviewer add to a beef roast?

I am quite mystified at the terrible reviews this crock pot has recieved. I bought the largerCrockpot SCVP609-KLS Smart-Pot 6-Quart Oval-Shaped Slow Cooker with Little Dipper, Whitefor my mom about two years ago and we have used it numerous times to cook many things and have never once had any issues with it. I bought this smaller round one at a local department store and it performs just as well as the larger one.The only reason food will boil over is if you overfill it or you use too much water. Meats and vegetables produce their own moisture when cooking inside a crock so adjust the water you add accordingly. For instance, when I make a beef roast I only add about a third cup of water. Naturally the crock is going to get hot because it has to cook the food over an extended period of time, especially if you set it for 4 or 6 hours on the HIGH setting.Keep in mind that not all reviews are accurate. You can get a product that has poor reviews and discover it's an awesome product. The reason for this is that quite often people will simply not read the directions or display any common sense when using the product. I do not mean to make others sound bad, but this has been my experience when purchasing products online (or anywhere for that matter).

Question: What can be used to thin out thicker brands of chocolate?

Purchased as a replacement for another unit of a different brand that stopped working. While the unit is well made and works perfectly, it's a bit large. It will take all of 4 lbs of chocolate to get this flowing properly and I suggest you have another couple of pounds on hand to replenish during a party. You can use any type of chocolate, but all chocolate will need to be melted first. Some regular chocolates, Hershey, Godiva, Ghirardelli and the like will need to be thinned out with vegetable oil. The Wilton Pro chocolate can be used without adding oil. I had to play with it a bit to get the perfect flow. Better to add oil slowly and in small increments. Too thin and it won't flow. Same for too thick. Clean up was a bit of a pain, but what do you expect. It's a great feature for any type of gathering. Be sure to have plenty of fruit, pretzels, cookies and other "stuff" to dip or your guests will be dipping their fingers!

Question: What did this person buy?

First let me tell you I don't know anything about vacumn bags. A few years ago the lady who comes in once a week to clean my house told me I needed a new vacumn cleaner. So I told her pick it out and I would buy it. She also had the salesman lay out a few packages of bags for it. She likes the vacumn and recently told me she needed some more bags but be sure to get the real Hoover Pleated HEPAY bags whatever they are. That they were the very best.So when she opened the box of bags from Amazon she was happy with them. I was happy it was what she wanted and a happy housekeeper and a clean house gets these bags a 5 star rating from me.Charles

Question: What reduces the use time compared to a hand vac?

This is a great niche tool which does it's job very well so far. It's easier and faster to use that an vacuum on most surfaces. It handles 80% of of what I used to use my vacuum or dustbuster for. Sometimes you need something smaller or other times you need the power and versatility of a big vac-but I can eally get by just using this most of the time. It doesn't run for hours, probably not as long as a hand vac if you use the roller brush, but frankly I haven't used it that long to find out. I take it out, do whatever small job needs to be downa and I plug it back in to the recharger. No issues so far and i'm very happy with it...

Question: What is the review about?

This is a top-of-the line air purifier that offers almost every feature you could need though you can also just put it into automatic mode and let it run constantly. The noise level is lower than every other purifier I've tested at this price point and is really barely noticeable most of the time. It's a small and sleek unit that is unobtrusive and can be placed behind furniture to keep out of the way. The whole unit is well made and feels substantial when you take it apart to clean the filter. The power cord can be hidden within the device and there's also a remote control though I found didn't modify the settings once it was installed. The performance, style and noise level are all what you would expect from a Friedrich and I couldn't be happier.

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

I bought this pan about 3 years ago. It hangs on a side of my cabinets where I can reach it easily. Today, it looks as new as the day I bought it. Cleans up so easily! Just a little soapy water and a soft dishrag or plastic pad... and it's looking new again! I cook on a gas stove and the handle of this pan does require me to use a potholder of some sort. It's not exactly hot... more, just uncomfortably warm. Since the description says handle stays cool... I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. All in all, this pan is a workhorse, it doesn't hold odors and it's one of the best kitchen pans I've ever purchased. I love the ability to grill indoors on my stove without having to give it any thought! I can easily grill four steaks on this pan. Or 2 large steaks. Think I'll have a nice grilled steak tonight!

Question: How does the lid fit?

The bowl is large enough to hold a lot of lettuce, which is great, but I do wish sectioned parts for the toppings were a bit larger. It's hard to fit chicken or vegetables in them. The dressing cup is plenty big to hold a lot of dressing. The fork is pretty flimsy and doesn't really fit on the lid, so I don't use that part. The lid stays snapped on pretty nicely. Overall, great product.

Question: Where did the author used to put plates, but it always made a mess?

Bought two of these to use as a lunch / spot tray for my children. They eat more at lunch if they are allowed to graze while playing. Putting their plates on the floor always ended up in a mishap. These trays have been well received. The kiddos have left their plates on the tray rather than taking them with them to where they are playing and come back and forth to pick. My daughter has also enjoyed using the tray as a coloring spot. They are not super rigid and as an adult you can easily flex them but in my opinion they are great for a childs use.

Question: What is it the product of this review?

I received this grill last year as a Christmas gift and I love it. It very rarely leaves my stove top. I've cooked steaks and chicken on the grill and pancakes, bacon and eggs on the griddle and haven't had a problem with anything sticking. I use my grandmother's method of taking care of the grill -- let it cool completely (NEVER put hot cast iron in water, it cracks and gets little holes in it); coat with coarse salt, scrub with a paper towel, rinse with plain water (never use soap); place on a hot stove to dry and then coat with a layer of vegetable oil and let it cool. The pan is always ready to use and I've never had a problem with sticking. My only problem (hence the four stars) is that the groove isn't deep enough and bacon grease tends to overflow through that hole (what is it's purpose anyway?) if I'm not watching.

I use my grandmother's method of taking care of the grill -- let it cool completely (NEVER put hot cast iron in water, it cracks and gets little holes in it); coat with coarse salt, scrub with a paper towel, rinse with plain water (never use soap); place on a hot stove to dry and then coat with a layer of vegetable oil and let it cool. The pan is always ready to use and I've never had a problem with sticking. My only problem (hence the four stars) is that the groove isn't deep enough and bacon grease tends to overflow through that hole (what is it's purpose anyway?) if I'm not watching.
