Question: What is the other functions besides "bake" and "broil"?

I bought this on a black-friday sale for $15 with free shipping. It was so cheap, I had doubts. Over a month or two by now, and it works just fine.It's a toaster. Personally, I don't think there is a difference in taste of toast coming from this toaster or a $100+ fancy toaster oven.HOWEVER: You do get what you pay for.Without having a lot of experiences with toaster ovens, it does seem to be less functional than the description and the controls state/imply.I only use it with the top knob on "TOAST" and the bottom dial as a timer.The other functions "BAKE" "BROIL" ... and "OFF" don't have any use to me.When the timer is done, it turns off automatically and has a loud 'ding' (a good thing) or you just turn the timer to off manually if you want to end it early.It does get HOT. But all/most Toaster Ovens probably do these days.Never heard of this brand, but it's a good/durable/functional decent low end budget toaster oven ... Which you should keep your eye on (or use a tracking program) to get a REALLY REALLY GOOD PRICE!OH YEAH ... If you make toast, then immediately make more toast, the internal thermostat will usually shut off the heating element for a portion of the toasting time (for safety) ... but then you have to add more time once it dings. Personally, I leave the oven door open if I am going to re-use it very soon so the internal temperature cools enough to prevent the thermostat from triggering. It works.

Answer: OFF

Question: What happened when the product was dropped?

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

Question: Does the product feel more like a real bed or a blowup?

We purchased 2 of these to use in a temporary home this summer. We have now been sleeping on these beds for 2 and a half months. We could not be more pleased. This bed is pricey for a blowup, but worth it. We added good quality bed pads to them under the sheets. They feel more like a real bed than a blowup. You can sit on the edge of the bed, tuck in the sheets and get in and out of the beds easily (an important feature to us as we are over 60). The built-in head board works as promised, keeping the pillows from sliding down the wall. The built-in pump is a necessary feature in any air bed that is going to be used as a real bed. We only need to add air every couple of weeks, but it would be a real nuisance to attach a standard pump that often. Also, a standard pump usually lets out some air as you remove it. I like a firm mattress and this loss always makes standard air mattresses a little too soft for me. This bed can be kept very firm.

Question: The magnets on top and bottom make it impossible to do what?

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 high end?

I got this a s a Good box deal, what a deal! It is very high quality and I agree with the other positive reviews quite yummy.I have a great couch from Ethan Allen but I'm just sick of the color. I found that just putting a throw over the seat and hanging down the front changes the whole look of the room, rearrange some pillows I already have and for $9.99 it's a new couch. The Dog is always sleeping there so I don't want expensive throws there. This is perfect.These are NOT the ones you get for $10 at a "mart" store. These are high end.I depend on people who give good reviews to make my choices and the first person here is so correct, they are great. I think I'll get another for a gift they are that nice.

Question: What did the user abandon?

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: Using what sized items would allow you to carry an extra load with this object?

I bought this to save on my electricity bill. It can easily hold two large loads if you use hangers and pins (and maybe three if you are very organized or have smaller items). You need to distribute the weight evenly, because it can tip over if too much weight is put on one side. I wish it would be just a bit taller so that dresses won't hang so close to the floor (it is about 4 feet tall). It folds up easily and I just tuck it behind my hamper between uses. The wires can get a bit flimsy if too much weight is put on them, but overall I consider this a good purchase. I have already seen my electric bill go down!

Question: Which room has been cleaned with this vac?

It's a little larger than a standard hand vac, but I was looking for something with power because I'm not the best housekeeper. This is it. It picks up everything. The exhaust, a source of concern on some reviews, is strong, but it's on the back. As long as you start at the back of the room or the bottom of the stairs, you're blowing on a clean surface so it doesn't matter. It's so strong I had to hold it above my stairs because the suction was making it stick to the wood. But held a couple inches above it was picking everything up. I only had this "problem" on the stairs. I left my regular vac downstairs and did my bathroom with this too because it was easier.A total keeper.

Question: What is the advantage to attaching them?

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: What is the product being reviewed?

These are great stands for the low price I paid. The price beat the large stores by $14. Two things you may need to know, first be very careful not to cross thread riser into base, I found it easier to thread the pipe from the bottom of the base to clean up threads and then put it together correctly from the top side. The other thing was the mount is setup for speakers with a pre-threaded insert or wood housed or plastic housed speakers that you can drill holes into and screw the base of the stand into. Another option which I used is double sided tape included, I had plastic housed speakers I did not want to drill into, so I used the included double sided tape. Fot extra security I put a screw in the wall hanging hole in my speaker housing and secured it to the back support brack with a flat washer and nut. These stands look stylish and fit perfectly with the styling of my livingroom.

Question: Kalorik had poor ratings on what review site?

I liked it when it worked. It is easy to use and easy to clean. Opening a warranty claim was easy, but it stopped right there. I sent 2 emails, I called twice and I'm still waiting. I have no idea when am I gonna get the replacement etc,etcIt is sad that when they take your money, the transaction is easy and smooth, but when it comes to assume responsibility, they are soo slooow.Update: 08/02/13I received my replacement on 07/22/13 and the replacement stopped working 6 days later! I requested a refund and I have not heard any reply yet. I've had enough. It is a hassle.You have to report, wait,repack the item,drive to Fed Ex to return it, wait for a replacement, etc. (twice)I will update of how good or bad are they in refunding your money.08/22/13Not a word about my refund yet. The last time I checked BBB, Kalorik had an F on their website.09/10/13After countless emails, I was told by Kalorik that they will refund me the money, but the shipping for the defective unit, is my responsability . I paid about $11 today to return the item. Let see what happens next.11/17/13I finally received my refund after SOOO many phone calls and emails.

Question: What should you use?

This is a great pan! I have long preferred silicone bakeware to traditional metal because of easy release of baked goods and quick cleanup, but this was my first foray into whimsically moulded silicone pans. I had some concerns that the pan wouldn't release the cakes from the crevices (petals), but everything turned out perfectly! I am glad I bought the Freshware brand, as the pan is of very good quality (and I know my silicone bakeware), but was of the lowest price for this type of design (rose).Follow the instructions to oil the pans before first use, and you won't have any sticking issues thereafter, even without greasing.However, I do have one word of advice - and this is true for all moulded bakeware, not only silicone. Please use denser, sturdier batters. Liquidy cake batters bake too tender and crumbly to survive unmoulding, and it won't be the pan's fault if your baked goods break and crumble.

Answer: denser, sturdier batters

Question: how does the writer describe the weight of the product?

This compact vacuum cleaner as several cool features to recommend it. First of all is the new canister. Unlike old cordless vacuums with messy canisters that always manage to get dirt on the floor, this one keeps the mess to a minimum with a button that pops the canister open at the bottom but does not require you to take it completely off. This feature allows you to empty it easier and with less mess. The retractable nozzle keeps you from storing attachments. While the weight is a touch heavy, the suction power is good and makes up for it. Overall, I am very pleased with this vacuum.

Question: This press is stylish enough to leave out where?

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

Question: what does the writer use the product mainly for?

I use this knife mostly to cut bread: both bagels and homemade sourdough.On the plus side, it makes very thin, smooth and even slices out of the bread.But on the negative side, the safety switch which shuts it off when you don't keep steady pressure on the on/off switch is maddening! In my case, this happens most of the time when I'm cutting super-crunchy, crusty Artisan bread loaves.I'm finding it really awkward to both press down on the knife and keep pressure on the trigger lock.It definitely lacks power, too,The carrying case & meat fork is a nice touch, though.I'll keep looking for an electric knife with a more powerful motor.

Question: What is the lid of the travel mug made of?

I had high hopes for this travel mug. It's well-insulated, stainless steel, and the lid appeared to seal very well. In fact, both Amazon and Thermos advertise the cup as being "spill-proof." It's also my favorite kind of lid, the kind that flips open. I like those because they're the easiest to clean well.Unfortunately, for some reason, Thermos decided not to make the flip part of the lid seal. It's just two pieces of plastic that fit loosely together - no rubber seal at all. So while the lid twists on and seals tightly, the part that you actually drink out of leaks like crazy. I suppose this cup is perfect for anyone who can guarantee that it will never tip over. But for those of you who do things like put it in your briefcase, toss it on the car seat next to you, or even just tilt it a bit while walking around, it's an awful travel mug.

Question: How do I wash it

I purchased this as a set to use when guests visit during the winter months (contrary to belief, Central Florida dips into sub freezing a few times during the winter.)Like others have said, the colors are vivid. Surprisingly so. And the comforter is ...comfortable and is a good fit on my bed. The entire ensemble will transform any bed into an inviting refuge for guests and the colors match the rest of my home's decor.Do be aware that this is 100% poly, which should not come as a shock given the price. I mention this because this set is comfortable for occasional use like for guests, but not bedding that I would want to sleep on for prolonged periods. I seem to have a built-in aversion to poly. On the plus side, though, is these are machine washable and durable - and very easy to care for.Another plus for me is this set can be refolded and stored in a compact manner, so between guest visits it's out of sight and takes up little space.For the price you cannot go wrong. Even if you use these yourself as an everyday comforter set you should be pleased by the quality and beauty of this ensemble.

Question: What is being compared?

Bought this to compare to my roomba 560 that I have been using for 3 years. Sent the roomba on a cleaning mission then sent this bad boy out and managed to get stuff the roomba missed. The navigation works great, took about 3 minutes for the mint to sync with the north star navigation unit. Battery life is fantastic!!! It is a great addition to my automated cleaning army!!! Roomba 560-scooba-dirt dog & now the mint;) I can breathe easy in my residence..... No dust bunnies anywhere.You will be happy with your purchase!!!!

Question: Are you able to put the wok in water to clean?

We couldn't ask for more. This Wok greatly exceeded our expectations. Priced right, works exceedingly well, cleans up very easily. We place it on our stove top so it'll be under our exhaust hood. I handle the spatter screen so my wife can concentrate on the important work. Do follow the directions and let it warm-up well before placing food. Cleanup is a snap. Though they say it is dishwasher safe there is no need. It comes apart in two pieces to be easily washed in the kitchen sink - totally submersible, even the base. Every now and then even the blind hog gets an ear of corn and we sure got lucky with this purchase.

Question: What will happen to the filters if you have higher TDS water?

The pitcher works great and I am extremely happy with it. Our tap water tastes horrible, and the pitcher was able to get it where it's drinkable. There is still a bit of an after taste, but it's a huge improvement. I found only two drawbacks. The first is that while it does fit in the refrigerator, it's a little too tall. I end up having to put it on the bottom shelf, which leads into the second issue. My young daughter quickly figured out how to work the pour-button spout on the handle, so you may want to make sure that it's up high enough on counters or in the fridge so that little hands can't reach it. Also, you should know that the higher the TDS of your water, the quicker your filters will wear out.I have received a ZeroWater pitcher and filters to facilitate my review.

Question: What was the biggest selling point to them?

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 does the rice cooker let you slow cook as well?

My husband is the cook in our family and he loves rice so I bought this as a Christmas present. Oster is a great brand -- we own can openers and blenders by Oster -- and they certainly have done their work here.You want the cooker to be able to be regulated and also to keep things warm especially in our family where we have 6 grown children plus their assorted husbands/wives/significant others plus 3 grandchildren! This cooker does all of that plus can let you slow-cook veggies as well.The thing that we like almost more is that it does come apart easily and cleans well! So many other rice cookers and similar devices if you do not clean the inner "bowl" right after you serve the rice, you see "shadows" of rice on the ceramic type material. This does NOT do that! It cleans easily and really looks brand new when cleaned. No big scrubbing or long soaking needed either.I recommend it!

Question: What was the reviews complaint about the tool jar?

Like another reviewer, I liked this tool jar, but found it was not the color pictured; in particular, it did not match the gold Sorrento canisters and spoon rest that I ordered. The others were a fairly uniform yellow Dijon mustard color, as in the photos, but this piece, also described as gold, was more of a slightly orangey gold color, like the old appliance color known as harvest gold. Otherwise it is lovely and of a generous size. I am disappointed that I have had to return it. It would be great if the manufacturer offered a set including the canisters and tool jar, to ensure that everything matched.

Question: What should be included to get this 5 stars?

My husband and I have poached eggs every weekend. We thought this would be a great way to streamline the process and avoid the messy cleanup, but it hasn't been that easy. It's very difficult to judge when the eggs will be hard as golf balls or with liquid whites. Usually four minutes on the dot and I get firm whites and runny yolk. In this egg poacher it's more like five minutes and fifteen seconds. At least some days. Clean up is a breeze and the water comes to a boil in record time. I'm still hopeful that I'll get the timing down soon.If they had included a recipe guide or any kind of instructions for cooking this would be five stars.

Question: How does the product come from the dryer?

I love pillows. They give me such comfort for my body and soul. And there is nothing like having them covered by these wonderful, soft, light pillow cases. I buy them in different colors and put the different colors on my bed pillows, reading chair pillows, workout pillow, and any other pillow I can put to use. The more recent ones have better stitching than the earlier ones I bought. But all have stood the test of time. None have worn out. They come out of the dryer very soft and about as crease-free as can be. Some might think the material is too thin. For me it's ideal. It's not thin as in cheap. It's thin as in not interfering with the pillow's comfort, unlike some pillow cases that actually impede the comfort of the pillow.

The more recent ones have better stitching than the earlier ones I bought. But all have stood the test of time. None have worn out. They come out of the dryer very <hl> soft and about as crease-free <hl> as can be. Some might think the material is too thin. For me it's ideal. It's not thin as in cheap. It's thin as in not interfering with the pillow's comfort, unlike some pillow cases that actually impede the comfort of the pillow.


Question: About how long have they have the glasses for?

I find these wine glasses great for many reasons. Top among them: easy to clean. Most full size 18 to 20 oz glasses are too deep for my fingers to reach the bottom when washing, and the rim opening too small for me to comfortably fit my hand through. Other glasses also often have a dimple in the bottom of the cup section that can be difficult to clean out. While helping with portion control, and taking much less [valuable] cabinet space, these glasses are super easy to clean. The buttom of the cup area is rather flat, and the cup is not too deep for me to easily reach the bottom with my middle and index finger without trying to squeeze my hand thru the rim.All that being said, having owned them about a month now, they pass all the standard checks: sturdy as standard wine glasses, symmetrical, good vertical alignment (not angled base as found on cheap glasses), arrived fully intact (none damaged/broken). I am not a somm' by any means, but for my $2.50-chuck and weekend $10 wine... these fit the bill.

Question: What was expected from the board with the use of the oil?

It's disappointing that even after using mineral oil with each use this board it still cracked. Not that I thought it was very practical to need to take the extra step of oiling my cutting board after each use but I was hoping that by spending extra time initially I would make sure the board was well oiled and would last. Unfortunately, I still ended up with large cracks that make it all but unusable as a cutting board. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PRODUCT, WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN NO WAY!

Question: What types of tasks are the big processors poorly suited for?

I have owned 3 of the biggest Cuisinart processors over the last 35 years, and 2 of the mini-preps. This is the handiest by far. The big ones don't work well for small jobs and the mini-preps are almost useless. This little jewel handles small jobs beautifully. It will emulsify salad dressings like nothing else and grate or shred small quantities of cheese perfectly. I also love it for mincing/pureeing fresh garlic, rosemary, and other ingredients for a fast, fresh dry rub. Another plus: it takes up very little space on the counter or in the dishwasher. When my family lived at home, I loved the large ones. Now this small one fits my lifestyle.I recommend it highly.

Question: What kind of feel does the spoon have to it?

I bought this based on an America's Test Kitchen recommendation. I have another big, high-quality spoon bought at a restaurant-supply store many years ago, but this is the one I use most often. That slight angle of the handle really makes basting -- and scooping out grease from the top of a simmering homemade stock or stew, or bottom of the pan while browning something -- faster and easier. Nice to use as a serving spoon, too. It's well-balanced and has a quality feel to it that helps make cooking a pleasure.

Question: How many cupcakes can it hold?

I had high expectations when I ordered this product. I was hoping that it would be as nice as my tupperware cupcake carrier, only with a handle. Well, don't order this thinking it's going to be a piece of tupperware. Nothing's further from the truth. It's made of that "easy to crack" plastic, making you leery of putting it down anywhere unsafe for glass. It does include a small, glass pie plate which would be nice if it was a deep dish but alas, it isn't. It can hold about a dozen cupcakes too, if you don't just put them all in the pie plate area. But be careful transporting - they'll get all over the place! It's good for its intent - as a pie carrier. I suppose that this is nice for things like picnics, informal get-togethers, etc., but if you're really going to a fancy holiday party, this guy just WON't be appropriate. Just wish the plastic was of a better quality. Recommend, but with the above disappointments.

Question: Where are NordicWare products manufactured?

I've been a longtime customer of NordicWare products due to their ease of use, durability, and the fact that they're still made with pride in the USA. Most of my prior NordicWare purchases were Bundt pans, but I've recently expanded into baking pies, so I purchased a covered pie pan.No longer do you have to worry about storing those pesky meringue pies; this high-domed lid eliminates squashed meringues or smashed sky-high toppings. The heavy-duty aluminum pie pan browns and bakes evenly and is a snap to wash. The plastic cover prevents odor absorption from other smelly fridge co-inhabitants, and preserves those perfect peaks on your lemon meringue or the lovely latticework crust on your cherry pie. If you're a frequent pie baker (or pie giver), you owe it to yourself (and your pies) to have one or more of these gems in your kitchen!

Question: Where was this review posted?

What a piece of POOP! This is the first time I've posted a negative review on Amazon and for good reason. I got this as a hand me down to make fruit smoothies. The first thing I noticed it the automatic blender action. Who designed that? That was the dumbest thing. Right when you push the cup down into the blender, it starts to engage the gears. The problem is that the teeth don't always match up. So, you have this grinding effect until the teeth of the gears engage. What an moronic design decision. I knew this was going to eventually happen, but after just three days of using this thing the teeth from the gears completely stripped. There was smoking and all sorts of black plastic flying around. I mean, this idea COULD work, but use metal for god's sake.And what's up with the small cup sizes? They should have one a big larger for regular sized smoothies.All in all, the biggest piece of junk I've ever been given. DON'T BUY IT!

Question: What are they made of?

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: Compared to what products does this reviewer compare this one to?

I have regularly used a French press to prepare coffee for many years, and this pot is the best of the lot. It is durable, attractive, and, most importantly, stainless steel - that last eliminating any chance of a broken pot. Those who have not previously used a French press well may find that the fresh taste of the coffee leaves them wondering how they ever used a 'drip' or percolator pot. it operates easily, with none of the awkwardness I have found with other inexpensive presses.

Answer: inexpensive presses.

Question: what is used to dehydrate the liver?

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!

Question: What do they dislike?

First let me say that this product is excellent but I have a problem with the amazon rating system. Sorry amazon, but Cupid didn't appear and shoot his arrow because I don't believe he drinks coffee, so I don't "Love it".I'm somewhat enamored though because this works pretty well with a fine grind. But these aren't as fine meshed as paper, so expect some mud at the bottom of your pot.I was also having a problem with my #4 filters when making 8 cups in my Gevalia, made by Cuisinart, 12 cup machine. Sometimes I'd notice the top of the filter was bent over the grounds when I emptied it, leading me to believe that water ran down the side and not over the grounds.I've tried giving this filter sly winks and pet names, however we remain friends and I see no love in our future. Recommended.

Question: What are the dimensions of the scale?

I have only had this product a week, but so far I am happy. I bought it mostly for weighing meat portions when cooking dinner. My boyfriend and I are trying to follow better portion control for dinner. I find that this scale makes it easy to keep track of my calorie intake. I can weigh items and google how many calories are in that portion size. This product is also light and does not take up a lot of space. The surface is large enough to place a mixing bowl on top and weight inside contents. I am a happy customer and would recommend this product.
