Question: What is a type of dessert you can make on the mat?

Every kitchen needs at least one silicone baking mat. Food comes of easily, it fits my pans perfectly, and clean up is a dream. A little soapy water, a quick rinse, and it's perfect! I've used it for cookies, biscuits, sticky marinated meats, and everything has cooked perfectly, come off easy, and clean up was a snap! I love it. Definitely considering adding more to my kitchen tools (seriously - who doesn't love something that makes their lives *easier*???) and will be gifting to friends and family!

Question: what material flipper was purchased for use with these?

They fit my half sheet pans, clean easily, work as good as parchment for my uses and baked goods come right off.I did purchase a silicon coated flipper/turner as I did not want to use metal implements on this. The instructions did not warn against this, I was just being cautious.I have used nonstick silicone baking sheets before but these are much more substantial (thick).

Question: What location of the Wok does the heat gather at?

"The heat will not spread evenly" when my 80 year old Chinese grandmother first saw this wok and she was right.When you're using this Wok on an electric stove the heat is completely concentrated at the bottom, so things get super hot, stuck, and then eventually burn at the bottom.I eventually got a Green Earth Wok by Ozeri. I know it doesn't come with a lid and it is more expensive but that Wok lets me have the electric burner running with red hot coils and not burn my food at the bottom. With Chinese cooking you need heat and this one from Cuisinart doesn't spread it evenly.

Answer: at the bottom

Question: Who was the pillow cover purchased for?

I bought these after coming across an article that suggested that kids who cough a lot at night without showing other signs of being sick might be allergic to dust mites in their bed. So, after many a sleepless cough-filled night, I decided to buy this mattress protector along with a pillowcover for our daughter's bed.Whether it was a fluke or not, it seemed to work! She doesn't cough anymore at night unless she's sick! It's made such a difference in our quality of sleep! :) This also fits well and protects her mattress in case she spills her water cup.I highly recommend this product!

Question: Where did I buy the Nespresso U C50?

I don't usually leave a review, but I always appreciate the reviews people leave. They are very helpful for my decision making of a product.I want to start out by saying, Amazon always gets my order to me very quickly. I received the Nespresso U C50 with Aeroccino Milk Frother today. I unpacked it, and made an espresso. The best espresso ever, I was only trying to duplicate a Starbucks Latte. In my opinion this was a great decision to finally buy this machine, it makes a better espresso than Starbucks. The machine is compact, and clean looking. It is much quieter than my DeLonghi espresso maker, which just broke yesterday after buying it 4 months ago.The Nespresso is extremely quick and no clean up, amazing machine. I just wish now I would have purchased it long ago. Very happy with it at this point.

Question: What is the daughter pleased with?

My daughter recently graduated college, and for Christmas she asked for a set of mixing bowls. I looked at numerous sets in stores, as well as on line and decided to purchase these, as they looked to be both sturdy and functional.The bowls are made a a moderately heavy gauge of stainless steel and I believe they will hold up well in normal kitchen use. They are not designed for commercial use and would get damaged pretty quickly if used in that manner. They are wider than I anticipated, as well as shallower. This is a double edged coin. The shape makes them easier to hold in your hands to mix and stir, but it makes the bottom of the bowl smaller and more difficult to balance when placed flat on a surface.Overall, my daughter is pleased with the bowls and has had good luck using them. If they work well and stand up to moderately heavy use, then they are a wise purchase. I would buy them again!

Question: Which holiday is the product good for?

Wrapped tightly in lots of bubble wrap, it arrived safely. No dents, chips, discolorations. I've had great success with fiesta product ordering thru Amazon. Much better than other online stores....of which sends broken items, incorrect colors, items that are chipped, too many flaws, etc. I have lots of fiesta in various colors but did not have this platter, now I do. I chose the red because it fits in with any meal but especially great at holidays such as Christmas. Good size too, not huge, not small.

Question: How long does the reviewer expect the item to last?

Wow, cheap stuff, seems like it'll last a while though. Got it for the kids for their new apartment so they would have something stainless, even if it's not high quality. Went to see them the other day and even though someone else bought them some sort of "famous TV chef lends name to garbage cookware" stuff as well, they were using these. Stainless, even low quality stuff is great. I still use 20 year old superstore bought garbage stainless pots n pans from 15+ years ago with my high quality stuff. You don't need calphalon to heat chef boyardee or boil some rice. My kids are learning to cook now, just getting into the "OMG food doesn't only come from a can or from the freezer?" stage of their lives and this is prefect to learn on.

Question: How many sizes are the cutting boards?

This 3-piece bamboo cutting board set feels pretty sturdy and it's versatile. I like the fact that the boards are three different sizes, for example, no sense getting a large cutting board dirty if you're just going to cut some cheese, while the larger boards come in handy for cutting fruit and vegetables. They're also great for entertaining. I also like the fact that they're made out of bamboo.The only thing I didn't care for was that they are not machine washable, but it's not a big deal and it won't stop me from using them as I feel that the pros outweigh the cons.

Question: did the reviewer test to see if the mattress cover is water resistant?

I've tried so many mattress covers and found they're either noisy or cause my sheets to not fit correctly. I found neither of these a problem with this cover. The top layer is like a terry cloth towel and the sides are a mesh like material. It fit our king size mattress perfectly and my sheets slid on without a problem. I'm planning to purchase more for my children's twin beds. We have cheap covers on those at the moment and their sheets are always sliding up. I haven't tested the water resistant factor, and hopefully won't have to. With that said I think it could handle a minor spill, but honestly anything but a plastic cover isn't going to protect 100%. I for one refuse to sleep on plastic so hopefully this will help prolong the life of my new mattress.Update: Puppy barfed on our bed, and this cover did an excellent job of protecting our treasured mattress.

Question: What kind of coffee can this product make?

This makes wonderfully delicious, rich, flavorful coffee that is not bitter. What else can you want? It's great that it comes with filters (we use each filter twice). The directions are really clear and simple to follow. We heat the water in an electric kettle that has temperature control, which is extremely helpful (as the directions tell you what temperature the water should be). My husband loves a single cup of coffee after dinner, and this is just perfect. It brews directly into the coffee cup and clean up is easy. We don't really use the tote bag.

Question: Who did I buy the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew for?

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

Question: What is the handle made out of?

I ordered this and the 6" chef as as well as 5 other brands, I thought I might try them and buy the set. They are Good, solid, cast or forged, not likely stamped as the tang/shoulder/blade are one piece around 1/2" thick at its thickest part. the rubber handle may someday cause a food/water trap if washed in the dishwasher though hasn't yet, it is slightly stretchy. I've been using the dishwasher with electrasol all in 1 gel packs, no rust or stains using the heated dry cycle. this and the chef needed a touch up on the sharpener to get them to a fine edge, but it didn't take much and made a world of difference, the edge they come with is OK, but thats probably as much to do with shipping as not. I would say for the money your spending, it'd be hard to beat. I have big hands and the grips are comfortable. my wifes hands are medium and she liked them as well.

Question: what was received as compensation for the missing hardware?

They are not the best but they are not the worst, either. I ordered 2 sets of these; the first set was fine however the second set did not include the hardware, nor was I able to get it sent to me. The good news is that amazon gave me some of my money back-so I just took the hardware off the one set to match it up at the hardware store.

Question: how many stars did the user originally give the product?

This thermos works great. I don't love the top/spout. It seems a little over complicated but it works fine. But I have left the thermos with hot tea in it for hours in the car while it was 0 degrees American outside. The tea was still hot when I got back. One thing to keep in mind is that the more liquid you have in it the better it keeps warm.edit:I am revising this review from 5 stars to 3 because the lid leaks when pouring, randomly but often.

With just the two of us to cook for, a countertop oven is more energy efficient than heating up the a large oven just to bake two potatoes and roast a dozen spears of asparagus. And for the money, this one does the job. However, determining how long something will take to cook is a guessing game. The gauge seems to be correct at the lower temperatures, but the oven never seems to get much over 350, using an oven thermometer. I pretty much just leave it set at 450 (which will eventually get up to 350) and check every so often; otherwise, it can literally take four or five times as long to cook as expected. It says it will hold a 13-inch pan, but not if it has handles on it; 13 inches total is the maximum, so measure your pans. The picture shows two pizzas in the oven, but even with the convection on, the one on the bottom will not cook in the same time as the one on the top. I've never used the rotisserie, as it says it will take 4 hours to cook a chicken.

Question: What are the feet made out of?

This is a well constructed, easy to assemble, nice looking TV stand. It easily supports my Samsung 55" LED TV. The plastic feet allow it to slide nicely on a hard-wood floor, so you can easily pull it away from the wall to manage TV connections.I had to ding it one star for the cheap-plastic "decorative rings" between each leg piece, and the difficult to remove inspection stickers on every item; the stickers indicate that they are doing good quality control, but they need to use a sticker that doesn't leave a sticky mess on 16 different pieces. It took me longer to get all the stickers off than to put the thing together.

Question: Where did the kettle start leaking from?

I bought this kettle several years ago... It worked great for a few of them, but like other buyers have stated, our started to leak around the plastic window. I really like the size & shape and cherry red color, but having the windows made out of plastic kind of defeated having stainless steel in the first place (which was to stay away from plastic parts coming into contact with the boiling water.) The leaking seems random, sometimes going for months at a time without leaking, then suddenly - BOOM! Just when you least expect it you are hit with a counter top/floor/rug soaked of water (usually when you are having one of those hectic mornings where you just need to get out the door...)Spend your money elsewhere until they can improve this design!We will soon be buying an all-glass kettle, where there is no chance of water leaking through the non-existent window!

Question: Why should someone prefer this french press?

I bought this to replace a previous Bodum french press that I shattered when tapping it entirely too hard against the garbage can to get some grounds out. I mention this not as a negative that it broke (because that's my fault) but that I bought another one from this company rather than a cheaper one, not that many are cheaper.I like this one because the mesh at the bottom forms such a good seal that very little of the grinds make their way past it. Some do and that's just the nature of a french press but I feel it does a great job.Other than that a french press is a french press. You get more flavor from your coffee than using a drip and a filter.

Question: Where was the pitcher I bought made?

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: What part of the ScumBuster was used to clean the shower surround?

Boy, does this thing clean!I've only had it a few days, but so far, I'm very impressed. I cleaned my shower surround, and it was as shiny as I've ever seen it. That was using the textured scrubbing pad and an all-purpose cleaner. I haven't used the brush attachment yet, but I imagine it will do well on my ceramic-tile floor. My impression is that the brush probably does well on surfaces with crevices, and the pad on smooth surfaces. (The brush is QUITE firm ... I can't see using it on something like a countertop.)I still have my old Black & Decker scrubber from several years ago. The main improvement with the new scrubber is that it's more powerful. A big design change is the new scrubber's ability to extend to hard-to-reach areas. I like that.I don't expect that the new scrubber will supplant the old, but instead complement it. I like having the smaller, more flexible brushes that came with the old scrubber. (FYI, the attachments are not interchangeable between the old and the new. Totally different design.)Now, the test will be whether the new ScumBuster Xtreme will perform over time. If the old B&D; Scumbuster is any indicator, it will.

Question: Where is it being placed when washed,  even though it's not on packaging?

So I've got a cupboard full of travel mugs, but this is hands down my favorite. I use it every day to take my coffee with me on the way to work in the morning. It holds more than a lot of travel mugs (which was important to me...I NEED my coffee in the morning) and it keeps it nice and hot. But the biggest selling point for me is that I can put it in the dishwasher. I should clarify, because the packaging did not say that it was dishwasher safe. However, I have been putting it in the top rack of my dishwasher nearly every day for 6 months, and it is still in perfect condition. The top comes apart easily for easy cleaning. The color is nice too (I ordered purple so my husband wouldn't take it...but I did get him a nice, black one and he's just as happy with it). I highly recommend this travel mug.

Question: What is this person's body size?

I cook for myself, so this little skillet is the perfect size for 3-egg omelet in the morning, or veggie saute for dinner. I am a small to medium sized female w/ skinny arms, but this skillet is not too heavy so I can still lift it w/ one arm. It's not really non-stick because the eggs won't easily slide off the pan like they would from a good new non-stick pan, but it's much much better compared w/ my stainless steel skillets. As long as you soak the pan in water after cooking, by the time you finish your meal, the food residue can be easily washed off with a brush or sponge. I use a nylon dish brush with hot water and cleaning is very fast and easy. I never use soap or steel wool. Leaving a bit grease on acts like re-seasoning. This is the same way I take care of my carbon-steel wok. The only complaint I have is that the handle is way too short. The skillet is relatively heavy but even with my small hands it still feels as if the handle only fits half of my palm, so it forces your hand to hold it really close to the hot pan - really bad design. Though I use it everyday and find it indispensable, the short handle alone is why I am unwilling to give it a five star rating.

Question: What grade does this person teach?

I teach Kindergarten, and I needed a visual timer that the students could use to pace themselves through their work (and to know when a break is coming). This timer is perfect because of its large size! I love that this timer can countdown from a specific number of minutes/seconds and also it can time how long something takes. It is magnetic, but it also comes with a stand that you can prop up to set it on a table. I love this timer so much that now I've bought four of them and I have them in different places all over my classroom. Other teachers at school have also seen them in my room and bought them! Great product.

Question: When did the reviewer amend the review?

Needing to outfit a new kitchen I was looking for a set that would work with all types of cookware. These fit the bill perfectly. The pieces are sturdy and all are useful. I've used them in boiling water and hot oil with no problem. I would recommend these to anyone.May 2013 amendment. These aren't quite as great as I first thought. I used the spatula in a frying pan over med-high heat and it started to melt. I'm now looking for a better quality replacement. The spoons are still great and going strong. For that reason I changed from 5 stars to 4 stars.

Question: what is the BTU of the second model?

I got two of these: one is 6,00 BTU, another is 8,00 BTU.Both models have the same design flows.1. Very noisy - even when the compressor is off. It is just airflow design which is very bad. Even on the lowest fan setting - which is not low at all. Huge sound of gushing air.2. Air flow direction control is extremely poor. As some other reviewers mentioned, no matter how you turn the little plastic things, the unit blows the air in one direction.Makes me think that Frigidaire engineering is faulty.

Question: What is the quality of materials?

This foundation is decent, but nothing outstanding. We used it to replace a worn box spring for a guest bed. It arrived in a compact package (although I think the reference to a "small parcel" in the description is exaggerating). It assembles fairly quickly and easily and seems relatively supportive. The problem is that the materials themselves feel very cheap. The wood was already chipped and appears like it won't last long (compared to a typical box spring). Depending on your situation, this may be more convenient or affordable, but I think most people would be equally if not better off with an inexpensive box spring.

Question: What does the reviewer think of the size?

This is an absolutely perfect size. It is not so big that you won't find a place to store it, but large enough to hold a bunch of angel hair pasta that would slip right out of the little holes in a traditional colander. It also fits over the sink so that I can pour the pasta (or whatever I'm draining) right into it, water and all, and have the water drain into the sink.It doesn't say in the description, but this is a double weave strainer. In other words, there are two layers of thin metal mesh to ensure even the smallest seeds and particles are caught in the net.It has a traditional soft black rubber Oxo handle, too. This is important when using it over the sink as it keeps it from slipping around when the water hits it.Nice!

Question: What did they read?

I had read every review on all Mattress Toppers in the $25-$50 price range which Amazon carries (for full size mattresses) before ordering the Carpenter 5-Zone. I needed something to make a twenty-two year old mattress (which felt like a box of rocks) comfortable when I arrived with my sweetheart at my mother's house. Rather than sleep on the bed, I had been using a forty-year old sectional. But there was only room for one on it.When the two of us flew in from Wisconsin to Florida, we unpacked the box, unrolled the Topper, took it out of the packaging, and put it on the bed. (I did also order a new mattress pad) The Mattress Topper fit perfectly side to side and from end to end, unlike other products that I read about in other reviews. Also, there was no unusual smells, as noted in other products. Score two on the perfect scale for the Carpenter.Then we jumped on the bed. I rolled over on my back-it was as if I was on a large feather duvet. Soft, squishy and cushioning on every part of me-heavenly. A perfect ten in every way. It's been two months now and it's still keeping its comfort. Every night when I crawl into bed, I expect the lumps and feel instead the pillow-like softness. I highly recommend this for anyone who has any type of mattress and wants a bit of extra squishy-ness. I'm sure that it would do as well with just a fitted sheet; I used a mattress pad since my mattress is so old.

Question: Why did the kettle have to be returned?

The kettle is very nice, well designed & heats the water quickly. However, I'm returning it because of the cord. It's very heavy utilitarian black (3/8" diameter) and there's no way to conceal it in the base. It really detracts from the sleek look of the kettle, and there's no spot in my kitchen where it doesn't look bad. Maybe it makes it safer electrically, but I don't have any other small appliances with so heavy a cord. I'm probably being overly fussy, but I just think the cord will always bother me, so I'm packing it up to return.

Question: What country is the cast iron from?

I just received my 7qt Lodge cast iron dutch oven this morning, and it is big and beautiful. I haven't cooked anything in it yet, but I can't wait to try it out. It is heavier than I thought so once I put in a roast, potatoes, carrots, etc. I'm sure I'll need a crane to left it...LOL. I ordered this based on the reviews, and once again the reviews have not let me down. I live alone, so that's why I ordered the 7qt so I can make large quantities of everything, and I know my brother and sister-in-law will want to borrow it. The quality is excellent; you can tell that just by looking at it. I plan on using this also as a slow cooker, and I hear your meals are done in half the time. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in cooking with cast iron.

Question: How long is the warranty?

I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain.

Question: What do the shelves need to be?

I wish two things----the cabinets were bigger, and they didn't wobble back andforth after they're put together. I wish the shelf space were deeper. I wish the packages of shelf pegs had more pegs in them; but that's four things....oops!I needed them (2) in my kitchen since my house was built in 1889 and backthen the people were teeny-tiny and kitchen cabinets were not very large,and closets were tiny for these tiny people, so I got these cabinets for mykitchen to hold the extra pots & pans. As far as putting them together, I paida handy man to do that for me. They didn't look too hard, though. I recentlyput my own gas barbecue together----maybe that's why it didn't look hard.Bottom line: they're cute but they wobble a little bit.

Question: What type of sushi was being made?

First I bought a mandolin to julienne my carrots and cucumbers for California rolls. That machine was an accident waiting to happen. Since I like my fingers the way they are I decided to try this gadget for cutting strips of carrots. Let me tell you this gadget not only was easy to use but I felt safe using it. I use a fork to hold down the carrot and depending on how much pressure I use, I can make the strips thin or a bit thicker. I also bought the potato peeler, both work great!

Question: who is named as a success?

I am absolutely delighted with this product! I had been using my oven to dehydrate liver for dog treats. After I gave some to a friend she mentioned that her dog liked them so well she had purchased a dehydrator to make some herself. I shopped around a little and chose this one mainly just because Ron Popeil is so successful I figured he must be selling good stuff. This little unit made beautiful dehydrated liver in half the time it took in my oven. I can't wait for summer to try it with my home-grown herbs and flowers!

It is amazing that they can compress the mattress and roll it up for shipping!I bought the mattress to go with a platform bed I found on Amazon, "Atlantic Furniture Richmond Full Bed with Open Foot Rail" for a guest room.The mattress opened up and expanded in a couple of hours. They indicate that you should wait 48 hrs before sleeping on it, however after a day it looks ready to go.I am having guests for the holidays so I will provide an update early next year, however so far so good.*update*Well the holidays are over and family/guests have moved on. Everyone totally enjoyed sleeping on the mattress.While I only had people sleeping on it for a week, they were different people with different physical sizes/ages and medical issues.Again, so far so good.It is now the middle of Feb. and my daughter has requested this mattress for her birthday.My wife and I are very happy with this mattress and highly recommend it.

Question: Which size is the least stable?

I have a lot of good grips products and overall they have been a very dependable brand for great kitchen and household items. These measuring cups are very nice. There are four of them, all heavy stainless steel. You can a 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 cup measures.The smallest one, 1/4 cup, is a little bit tippy, but the others are all solidly flat. You can scoop with them, measure your ingredients, heat on the stove and they have a ring so you can either keep them clipped together or pull them off to use individually. Recommended!

Question: Where does the holder have drainage holes?

Keeps the soap hi-n-dry with ease. I like its simple rectangular shape with rounded corners, and it's big enough to hold very large bars of soap. The chrome look matches my faucet and is fairly unobtrusive. I particularly like the large drainage holes in the top part of the holder - really lets the water slough off the soap so it never gets soggy. Glad I bought this! I'll probably wind up buying another one when my wooden soap holder/drainer disintegrates, as they inevitably do (this stainless one will probably outlast me!).

Question: Where do you hang the organizer?

This organizer is ideal for hanging belts or ties or other clothing accessories. It has a solid metal construction and a chrome finish, with options for hanging it over a door or directly mounting it to a wall. The section that hangs over a door is pretty simple and isn't designed to adjust for different door thicknesses or to provide a buffer between the metal and the door. With the swinging accessory holding arms you will want to have them swung in opposite directions to evenly distribute the weight of the hanging items. Otherwise, the hanging organizer will tilt to one side if it's hanging on a door and not screwed into a wall. This is a useful item, though I feel that its design could be enhanced or improved a bit

Question: How much blueberries juice did the writer get?

I purchased this recently and decided to clear the frozen fruit out of my freezer that had been there awhile. I rinsed the strawberries off and threw them in. Out of a 6 lb. bag I managed to get 5 - 8 oz bottles of juice to can up for use in jelly later. Tried it with a bag of blueberries that had been in the freezer and got 2 - 8 oz. bottles of juice out of that. Have to admit though I had to cut the processing time short on it, I had to be somewhere. Probably could have gotten more out of it. This thing works wonderfully. Great replacement for my old aluminum one. AND it comes with an extra hose! As with all juicers have a place to allow the hose to dangle down after use so it can dry out. I really wish they would come up with a tool to do that. I took the clamp and moved it up to the metal part the hose comes off of to allow the hose to be open to dry out. Great price on this and it will do the same job as the more expensive ones.

Question: What is the direction of flow for the squeezed juice?

The squeezer looks nice and sturdy, and has a good heft, which is good since you need to put a little bit of elbow grease into it to get your juice. I juiced a few limes and a couple of lemons last night with great results. After juicing a lime, it looked still pretty pulpy, and I was concerned that the squeezer had left behind some juice, but when I squeezed it by hand, I was only able to eek out a few more drops. The Meyers lemons had unusually thick rinds, but the OXO still got plenty of juice out.Washed it up in the sink and it's all ready to go for the next cocktail party or batch of lemonade.No directions are included, but a quick search online gives you the definitive answer of which way to put your citrus in... Cut side down! Or up! ... Cut side down is what I used, which seems reasonable, since you want the juice to go down to the holes, and not squirt out the sides.Inexpensive, easy to use & clean, gets the job done.
