Question: What is a flaw?

The main reasons I bought this fryer was for the cleaning aspect (everything goes in the dishwasher) and the oil filter/storage feature. Based on those 2 things alone I would have bought it and I am happy I did buy it. It cooks as well as any deep fryer should and it cleans and filters/stores oil as advertised. If it didn't have those 2 features I would not have bought it, though. There is one inexplicable design blunder that makes this machine frustrating: the off/on light is hidden completely behind the temperature knob. It cannot be seen from any reasonable height at any normal angle of view. This makes it frustrating because you are always waiting for that red light to go off before you start using it, but instead of being able to simply glance at it, you have view it from an extreme angle. I use this fryer on my stove top, which is the height you would expect it. I am 5' 6" and when you stand in front of it or even to the left or right, you cannot see any portion of the on/off light. I even stood up on a stool and looked, but the light is perfectly positioned to be completely blocked by the knob. It amazes me T-Fal could have approved this design.One other thing: the instructions don't really make it clear how the oil drainage process works. I couldn't figure out if I first wait 3 hours then turn the knob to "drain" or what. I ended up turning the knob to drain right after I used it and it turns out the fryer waits itself until the oil is cool enough (less than 3 hours), then it starts to drain.So, I'm keeping it for the cleaning/oil storage features but otherwise I would have liked a more viewable on/off light.

Question: Which tool is used to tighten the bolts?

Directions could have been better (especially diagrams) but I'm a technical writer so I'm fussy that way. It went together nicely nonetheless--I needed an extra pair of hands only briefly. For a really nice finish you'll need to devote some time to sanding, but it was OK as it came out of the box. Be sure to hang onto the big Allen wrench so you can tighten up the bolts when it starts to squeak after a couple of months. Overall, it's a good looking piece for the money. Packaging and delivery were all good.

Question: How are these pans best cleaned?

I already have two bread pans by USA pans and needed some metal square cake pans. Even though the USA pans are a bit more expensive, they are WELL worth the money.I do always grease my pans before baking. I generally use butter to grease them and sprinkle with fine sugar rather than flour. Makes a nice coating on the outside of your cakes and releases just as well as flour.You won't want to serve out of them. As with any coated pan, metal isn't their friend, but just cool your cakes and they slip right out onto a serving plate. I never wash mine in the dishwasher. You can, but it isn't advisable..again they do have a clear non-stick coating. They clean up quick and easy with a sponge and a little dish detergent.Absolutely the best pans I have ever owned and I have a lot of pans. Try them, I'm sure you'll love them too.

Question: Where did the author put the matress?

The foam came rolled up tightly in a box and upon unrolling it and giving it time to air out (new smell dissipated within 24 hours) and return to its mattress form, it works great for our granddaughters bed. The pad gives her just enough softness. The cover comes in handy and fit just fine. It fits slightly smaller than the bed mattress but, as the instructions that came with the pad say, that allows for a better fit under mattress pads and sheets. Very happy with this product.

Question: does the humidifier work well?

I bought this humidifier specifically for white noise and it does not disappoint. My husband snores. He doesn't just snore a little bit, he SNORES LOUD. I bought this to help me drown out the noise when the earplugs and snore pillows didn't work. It truly offers a soothing non-stop stream of white noise through the night and covers up his snoring which I find very soothing. Also, I believe the moisture in the air has helped with his snoring. He is not snoring nearly as bad as he was and when he does snore, it does not seem to be as loud.This humidifier really works to help with snoring. And I have it directly on the carpet and it never gets the carpet wet. Never. I do notice a more humid room, and the coolness it offers is soothing and helps us both sleep better.It is a great product.

Question: What did they want reduce in their home?

I bought these simply to try and reduce the amount of disposables in my home. I was not thinking of any use for them beyond the obvious of cupcakes and muffins normally baked in paper cups. I am thrilled to report that they work just great for those purposes, and without any greasing or oiling required, but they have also served me well as fudge molds. And my new favorite use is for freezing stock when I make a large batch; impossible to unmold neatly from an unlined muffin tin, and awkward in an ice cube tray, stock frozen in these tidy little cups unmolds cleanly and in the perfect amount to pop out later for a serving of ... whatever you use stock for. I love these, I'm glad I bought two sets, and I may order two more soon.

Question: What was this meant to hold?

I bought this for a corner in the lunchroom for a computer the employees could use on break. I figured it did not have to be great because it was not actually going to be a business desk, and honestly did not expect much. BUT the wood shelves are solid; the metal frame is quality powder-coated and stylish. The parts are perfectly matched and go together well. Screws together tightly. The casters are full-size and fit metal to metal so there will likely be no stress-breakage; they roll and lock perfectly. The keyboard tray slides in and out with ease. It is hard to tell the size by the photo, but here it is: on the bottom shelf I have a 3-in-one inkjet printer and the CPU, side-by-side.The only part I did not like was the little mouse shelf that attaches to the bottom of the keyboard tray so it can pull out to be used. Since there is plenty of room for a keyboard and mouse on the tray, I figured it would be an annoyance - just personal taste and certainly nothing to be marked down for.Truly an exceptional value for a very low price. Great for students, college, bedroom, corners, mobile homes, or business applications like mine.

Question: How does the toast come out?

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

Question: Which mixer did the author have first?

This is my third hand mixer in about three months. My old Hamilton-Beach (#1) finally bit the dust, so I decided to purchase this one. Unfortunately I mentioned my intention to my husband, who recommended that I look for something less expensive instead. I did some price-shopping and ended up spending $15.00 on another brand (#2). I got what I paid for. I hope whoever bought it at the local Salvation Army store likes it better than I did. Mixer #3, this Waring, is wonderful. I chose it because several reviewers mentioned that its lowest speed is SLOW, and I agree. My H-B came with a spatter-shield that attached to its housing; this mixer neither has nor needs one. The beaters eject easily, and I love the digital timer. Many recipes direct that a mixture be beaten for a specific length of time, and since I can't see a clock from the counter where I do my mixing, the timer is a definite convenience. I do have a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer for heavier items, but this little guy whips up great cakes, frostings, and fillings.

Question: What brand of vacuum is this?

This is a great cordless vac. I have two dogs and this picks up all the hair without getting clogged! (works great on floors- medium success with carpet so if you have carpet this may not be your solution). I have an Electrolux that was specifically advertised to be good for people with dogs- what a waste of money- it clogs with the first pass- don't make the same mistake. The Eureka is very reasonable priced and does a great job. It's also pretty quiet for a vacuum and my dog who is terrified of the regular vacuum is not bothered by this at all.

Question: What pops out when you place laundry in the hamper?

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

Question: How long did they have it for?

We have had this for about 6 months. Makes fantastic crispy pizza. The clean up is the best part with this. It's one piece and everything washes off easily (event the super melted cheese). When you cut pizza on it using a pizza cutter it doesn't hurt the finish at all. We love this thing.We got an All-Clad about the same time (generous present) and like it as well. The Emile Henry wins, however, because (a) easier clean up (b) light weight and (c) no scratches when you use a pizza slicer. On the all-clad you leave a mark on the soapstone every time you cut.If we ever get another stone it will be this one. Great product!

Question: What brand of juice has the consumer sealed?

I charged this up for over a day before using it. Despite the boxes of food that had been in my kitchen for weeks, I knew that RIGHT THEN all my food would go BAD if I didn't VACUUM SEAL it IMMEDIATELY. But I waited. And once it was charged, oh boy, did I have fun I initially sealed all my jars of pasta, rice, grains, beans, and dried fruit. I got through nearly 2 dozen jars (wide mouth mason jars, I used the wide mouth jar sealer) before the vacuum died and I had to recharge. Fast forward to day two, after charging for another day, I got through another 20 or so jars. I vacuum sealed more of my nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and other pantry goods that aren't used often. I've been using it for produce too. I sealed some broccoli and blueberries (in separate jars) that had been purchased at the grocery store a few days prior. You know how quickly broccoli and blueberries go limp and squishy. These only had about 1or 2 days left max before turning to gross. Well, I cut up the broccoli into edible chunks, filled a jar, and sealed it. 4-5 days later, I opened it up, dumped into a bowl, and made delicious steamed broccoli. Same with the blueberries.Since that first test, I've used it for grapes (put half in a sealed jar, half are immediately washed and eaten). When I buy a pepper I cut it into slices and put them in a jar, and keep it sealed, only pulling out a few at a time for wraps or salads. This extends the peppers to about 2 weeks before getting slimy. This gadget will definitely help me prepare meals more quickly. I plan on buying a week or more worth of vegetables at a time, and sealing up enough at a time for one meal.I've used it on jars of Mean Green juice too. It's fascinating to see the foam head on the juice expand and rise up as you suck the air out. Husband said the juice tasted quite fresh the next morning. I usually make his juice the night before, so he's used to juice that's 12 hours old or more.This works directly on top of the wide mouth jar sealer, no tube required. Lasts long time, makes a great vacuum. I love this product.

Since that first test, I've used it for grapes (put half in a sealed jar, half are immediately washed and eaten). When I buy a pepper I cut it into slices and put them in a jar, and keep it sealed, only pulling out a few at a time for wraps or salads. This extends the peppers to about 2 weeks before getting slimy. This gadget will definitely help me prepare meals more quickly. I plan on buying a week or more worth of vegetables at a time, and sealing up enough at a time for one meal. <hl> I've used it on jars of Mean Green juice too. <hl> It's fascinating to see the foam head on the juice expand and rise up as you suck the air out. Husband said the juice tasted quite fresh the next morning. I usually make his juice the night before, so he's used to juice that's 12 hours old or more. This works directly on top of the wide mouth jar sealer, no tube required. Lasts long time, makes a great vacuum. I love this product.

I charged this up for over a day before using it. Despite the boxes of food that had been in my kitchen for weeks, I knew that RIGHT THEN all my food would go BAD if I didn't VACUUM SEAL it IMMEDIATELY. But I waited. And once it was charged, oh boy, did I have fun I initially sealed all my jars of pasta, rice, grains, beans, and dried fruit. I got through nearly 2 dozen jars (wide mouth mason jars, I used the wide mouth jar sealer) before the vacuum died and I had to recharge. Fast forward to day two, after charging for another day, I got through another 20 or so jars. I vacuum sealed more of my nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and other pantry goods that aren't used often. I've been using it for produce too. I sealed some broccoli and blueberries (in separate jars) that had been purchased at the grocery store a few days prior.

Question: Is the lookalike soap dish the same size as the real one?

OK, so I saw in the reviews and photos that some people were receiving a cheap knockoff version of this soap dish, with no slant and a suction cup on it. However, most of the reviews over the more recent months showed people getting the correct item, so I thought Amazon must've corrected the problem. Not so. Ordered 3 days ago, got the idiotic replica which for some reason has no slant whatsoever (one would think even the people making the knockoffs would recognize the overall purpose of the thing.) It's also itty bitty, maybe holding a hotel bar comfortably, but no way a bath bar. And what's with the suction cup? If used on a flat surface, it would make it rock back and forth. Anyhow, it's going back immediately. Ridiculous to waste the time, effort, shipping, etc just to randomly give people either the correct product or a cheap, useless version. If you try it, good luck. At least Amazon has easy returns.

Question: Why did the writer like the product?

This clothes butler is a nice surprise - very stable and surprisingly sturdy. The finishes are attractive and it was very easy to put together. I think this clothes butler would work just as well for a woman as for a man as it is also a bit taller than I expected. If you are in the market for one of these I believe you would be quite happy with this. There are many that are more expensive, and others that are all wood, etc., but this one has a charm of it's own and has quite a modern look to it. I can confidently recommend this product. A little bit about the seller - 2K Furniture Designs: There was one small 0-ring that I was missing when I received the product - and I contacted the seller and I received a prompt reply and a week later received two 0-rings. I mention this only because it is always good when a seller stands behind their product when there is a problem and 2K Furniture Designs did just that. Very impressed.

Question: Why did the person buy the vacuum?

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: which direction do the rings rotate?

Smooth wood & no rough metal connections for scarves to snag on, and good-sized rings that will rotate up or down...perfect! At 1st I thought that the rings didn't rotate on the hanger as advertised, but I found that if you grasp a ring and then firmly push it a 1/4 turn, it will stay in that position....or any position between straight up and lying parallel to the floor. The wood is very soft and twisting the ring will cause the hole to widen. I put my scarves on it with the rings turned just slightly for ease of getting them on and off. This is a functional and attractive addition to my closet...love it!

Question: What did the writer do which sped up the process of replacing the handle?

I thought I had rated this vacuum before. I can't say enough about it. I've read some bad reviews about people not getting response from Hoover. I had a problem at about the one year point with the handle. It broke right where the screw is to hold it to the rest of the product. I called Hoover and I had another handle within three weeks. I had registered the vacuum with Hoover when I received it so I think that speeded up the process. How else do they know when you've purchased it and aren't trying to scam them. Since getting the new handle, I use clear packaging tape to help secure it to the base to hold it sturdier. I highly recommend people register their product as soon as they receive it. I use in the kitchen and bathrooms but not on carpet as we have a heavier one for that. If/when something does eventually happen to it after the warranty period, I will definitely get another one.

Question: What do they lids say on them?

I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection. Thinking these would do double duty as both serving bowls and storage solutions I ordered them. I have not been disappointed in any way. The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so. But for longer times I use a Corelle saucer, like comes with tea cups, to cover the smallest and middle sizes. Don't know why really except that plastics in the microwave seems like a bad idea. I have enough height in my cupboard to store the smallest bowls with lids on and stacked. I don't nest the bowls but if I did I'd place a paper towel or cloth napkin between. I often make vegetable pot pies in the smallest bowls, something that is not available at my grocer and from past experience I doubt I could buy a frozen pot pie that came close to how good mine are. I love that these bowls are made in the USA.

Question: What is the limitation with the writer's son?

I am SO beyond excited to have this. I am in nursing school, which requires a lot of long days and have some classmates who have these. I finally bought one and LOVE it. I do not use microwaves and with winter coming it would be great to have hot lunches. Not to mentions, microwaves are not always available.I was not even thinking, but now I am going to buy a second one. My son has an allergy and cannot buy school lunches. I have always tried to bring him hot lunches when I can, but that is hard to do especially with being in school and working. Now I can send him to school with this with approval from his teacher. He is SO excited. All he has to do is plug this in about 2 hours before lunch and its ready when he is.

Question: Which generation of product used more wattage?

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

Question: Does the cutter handle feel too heavy to use comfortably?

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

Question: What was the first thing the mat was used for?

I was interested in this for one purpose: to hold my pastry mat in place. Though it is "non slip" - it does, indeed, move around. So when I received the non slip table mat - I went right to work making some cinnamon rolls using the non slip mat under my pastry mat. What a joy! It firmly keeps the pastry map in place - no more chasing the dough around the table! As a bonus - I had sliced my right hand on a mandolin (and then my husband sliced his finger on it when trying to put it away - we threw it in the trash!Oxo Good Grips V-Blade Mandolin Slicerand had to get stitches and my right hand is bandaged up. Of course, my hand is a bit weaker now and cumbersome with the bandages... and I was trying to open a bottle of parmesan cheese and couldn't open it. Then I remembered that the non-slip mat could be used to open bottles and used it - it worked! So I would think this would be very helpful to those who have compromised hand strength. I love it!

Question: What does it work best with?

Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack, 14-1/2 x 20 inch. Love this item. I ordered one and liked it so much I got another one. I use it for everything but it's especially good for cooling cookies. I transfer them from the baking sheet, covered with a Silpat, to the cooling rack after about 8 or 10 minutes. While still soft, but I wait until they won't pull apart while transferring. Then I let the cookies cool completely on this rack. It works great, the cookies don't stick to it. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a cooling rack, especially for cookies directly onto the rack.

Question: What was wrong when the reviewer looked at the lcd display?

I bought this only 2 and half months ago and have used it maybe 4 or 5 times (I mostly only iron when I sew and I have been too busy to sew lately). When I went to use it today it was making some mild clicking type noises that I hadn't noticed in the past. Then I realized it just wasn't ironing so great either. When I looked at the lcd display, I saw that every available option was highlighted, including the pause lights. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it cleared for a brief moment and then went back to doing what it was doing: Very little heat and the display not reading correctly. Clearly I have a faulty iron and I'm majorly disappointed about it. Now I have to try to send the thing back to the company and hope for a repair or replacement. This is definitely one of those times where I wish I had bought this at a local store so I could just return it. Not happy.Oh, and one other thing... when I first got this I left it plugged in but made sure it was turned off. When I came back to it later, I noticed the handle was warm to the touch. The soleplate, however, was cool. I made sure to keep it unplugged from then on.Overall, a VERY untrustworthy product from my perspective.

Then I realized it just wasn't ironing so great either. <hl> When I looked at the lcd display, I saw that every available option was highlighted , including the pause lights. <hl> I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it cleared for a brief moment and then went back to doing what it was doing: Very little heat and the display not reading correctly. Clearly I have a faulty iron and I'm majorly disappointed about it. Now I have to try to send the thing back to the company and hope for a repair or replacement. This is definitely one of those times where I wish I had bought this at a local store so I could just return it. Not happy. Oh, and one other thing... when I first got this I left it plugged in but made sure it was turned off. When I came back to it later, I noticed the handle was warm to the touch. The soleplate, however, was cool. I made sure to keep it unplugged from then on. Overall, a VERY untrustworthy product from my perspective.

Question: What additional product is built-into this one?

I am delighted with this steam mop-It does a great job of swabbing my tile bathroom and linoleum kitchen floors-It makes copious amounts of steam...fast-It is easy to maneuver-It is easy to use-The pads are easy to take on and off-The built in, convertible hand steamer is an added plus.And, unlike my oldBISSELL Steam Mop Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner, 31N1, this Steamfast model doesn't require a water filter in order to work! What a nuisance that is, having to shop for, purchase, and install that filter once a month.

Question: What is not under warranty?

I actually like to iron and own the Rowenta Professional iron. I have used it a half dozen times and it is useless. The iron doesn't heat - not even on the cotton linen setting.As per Rowenta, inorder to have it serviced I would pack it up and send it to a service center, and pay for shipping and repair which is more than the cost of a replacement iron.It is not under warrantee as it was in storage - unused - and was purchased last summer, so it is over a year old.I have had irons last many years and they keep steaming along. This one is a disappointment.

Question: Does the product leak?

There are not a lot of products that live up to what you expect. This one comes darn close. It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee). It's double-walled stainless so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented). It doesn't leak if you screw in the top tightly. Fill it with hot water while you're brewing your coffee. It's easy to carry (I'm a woman and I can grasp and carry it with minimal issues). I actually forgot my thermos for a couple of days over a weekend and the coffee was still pretty hot even after 48 hours). It doesn't keep the java piping hot for as long as the description (I like mine pretty hot) but it does the job for a day of coffee at work.

Question: What did the reviewer call the product?

This baby is the bomb! I bought this for my husbands birthday and I have been celebrating ever since! This does a great job making drinks! I can't believe how well it shaves ice; it makes great icee's also! This is a big machine so plan your counter space appropriately. The pitcher it comes with is glass so we bought an extra plastic pitcher to keep the drinks flowing. This truly makes great margarita's, better than any bar we've been to so don't hesitate to pull the trigger.

Question: What are gangbusters?

I love having one of these every evening, since I crave sweets and this is a good way to get my "fix' in a healthy, low-calorie way. I used to go through commercial fruit juice pops like gangbusters, but that can get expensive if you don't stock up during sales. Plus, they contain sugar. Now I can concoct new recipes to my heart's delight. Right now, I have blueberry lemonade sweetened a bit with organic maple syrup. To die for! Just set them in a glass of water for a few minutes and they slide right out. Yummy!

Question: How much can replacing the battery save you?

You need to know that iRobot corp. makes it difficult to change this battery. After removing the screws, I found that the yellow battery case lid is glued to the bottom of the case. You need a couple of straight, small screwdrivers to slowly tap open the glue seam much like a diamond cutter uses a tiny chisel to tap cut a diamond. I had to tap the seam every 1/4 inch to break it loose. Hit it too hard and your cost savings are gone if you break the case at the attachment points - you would need to buy the whole battery pack - so only do this if you are careful and patient. Removing the old battery pack also is challenging if you are not the careful type as it is glued to the base of the case internally. Cutting the wires and soldering the leads is easy but there is no room for any other attachment method so you had better be confident in your soldering skills. This is not a job for the impatient person and you had better have all the right tools but since I am a nerd geek, I enjoyed the challenge and IT WORKED GREAT!! CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES AND KNOW YOUR SKILLS and if this sounds fun and challenging (like I do), it is a great way to save $40.00 AND set it up to do future battery replacements more easily.

Question: How long has the customer owned the coffeemaker?

i read all the reviews and was very careful in selecting my new coffeemaker. one of the things that I hated the most about my old style (glass) carafe was that it DID, in fact, taste like burnt coffee and hated that so much. i though the idea of a thermal carafe was great! keeping it warm without burning it. BUT this particular coffeemaker doesn't even get it hot! it does NOT have a setting for the hot plate because THERE IS NO HOT PLATE. It does not get warm at all because it expects the carage to keep it warm. I love having the preset button but cannot use it because if I don't wake up right when it is finished brewing I do not get a hot cup of coffee. And by the time I leave for work to pour the last cup, it isn't even warm. I gave it three stars because some people may not prefer their coffee piping hot and since it does make a tasty cup of coffee with the three settings, I will leave it.Regardless, I have only had this coffee maker for just over a month and am thinking about buying a different one. Waste of money for me. If anyone wants to purchase this off of me, I would gladly sell it to you at a cheaper price. :(

Question: What becomes more difficult to read with more exposure to heat?

I have had a Taylor 5932 NSF oven thermometer for over 3 yrs now. Until I cracked (or think I did) the glass, it worked perfectly. Yes, it will age, discolour, and faded numbers become a little more difficult to read over time as it frequently subjected to high heat. ( I probably should take it out when broiling.)After I cracked (note the "I cracked") it has become unreliable, I have to tap it with a wooden spoon to get the needle to respond. After I noticed this, I took it out and noticed a fair amount of "debris" inside the instrument. I assume this is the cause of the "stickiness" of needle to respond.I have to give this product 5 stars, as I haven't exactly treated it well, but for 3 yrs it worked very well and baked goods & roasted foods came out perfectly after I calibrated my oven TO this thermometer, which it had not before. For $5-$6 can I really ask for any more than 3 good years of hard use and abuse of a product.I am today ordering a replacement one, so, yes, I recommend.

Question: When the user fills the thermos, at what time is the coffee still hot?

I purchased two of these after experiencing how long theThermos Stainless King SK1005MBTRI4 16-Ounce Leak-Proof Travel Mug, Midnight Bluekept my coffee hot. I can fill my mug with coffee at 7:30am and it'll still be warm enough to drink at 3pm.Pros:- Built-in collapsible metal spoon. No need to pack extra silverware. The spoon stays clean until use and a dirty/used spoon isn't bouncing around in my pack getting other things messy.- The top cap serves as a cup.- The indentation around the middle of the thermos makes it easy to hold onto while eating.- The rim is comfortable to drink from.- No nooks and crannies on the inside to make cleaning difficult.- The entire bottom half is stainless steel, so my food is not in constant contact with plastic.Cons:- Hand wash only in order to preserve the blue finish.Others reviewers state that the mouth is too narrow to use the spoon. I find that it is a similar width to other thermoses I've used, and I have no problems using the spoon to eat chunky soups directly from the thermos. No thermos is the width of a soup bowl, so all of them require a bit of tilting if you want to lift a spoonful of something out of them. See the additional picture I uploaded for a size comparison.

Question: About how long are the pillows?

This review is for the green body pillow protectors. In the unlikely event that you're not familiar with body pillows, these pillows are about as long as an adult body, and provide support to the head and neck at the top and to the knees and legs lower down. Body pillows are especially useful in providing support for those who sleep on their sides and for pregnant women.The BlowOut Bedding pillow protectors are very nice. They're more soft and comfortable than I would have expected for 100% polyester. The hem-stitching is tight and uniform. My wife was impressed with the pillow protectors too, and she knows fabrics better than I do. (Her late father had a degree in textile engineering, and he felt compelled to pass on his knowledge of fabrics to her!) We washed the pillow protectors in cold water with a mild detergent, putting a white cotton towel in the washer to see if the color ran - it didn't. We tumble-dried the protectors in the dryer on medium heat with a fabric softener sheet, and they came out very soft and fluffy.We're both impressed with these pillow protectors.Note: On the label attached to the pillow protector, the washing directions appear to be for the pillow itself, not the pillow protector.A product sample was provided by the seller for review purposes.

Question: What is the name of the muffin cups this user has used with the muffin pan?

To be honest, I wish I can give this Jumbo Muffin Pan 10 stars. This pan is way better than the muffin pan that I have now which seemed to heat my muffins unevenly.I used this pan the day after I received it in the mail and I could not be more pleased. Heat is distributed evenly and I don't have muffins that are light and some dark like I used to have with my last muffin pan. I have used this pan along with the Norpro 3600 Giant Muffin Cups which makes clean-up a total breeze. This is a real non-stick pan and you can use a paper towel to clean this pan because nothings sticks to it. I love this pan. If I can marry this pan I would :)Get this pan. You can't go wrong with this.
