Question: What is this review about?

I recently purchased this waffle maker after using a cheaper one made by a different company. I was very satisfied to find that the waffles turned out light and fluffy; the baking of the waffle was very even and the time short (only 3:30 min for two). I realize this waffle maker is a little pricey but well worth it after you've had no success with cheaper alternatives. This is a commercial quality product that is very sturdy and well manufactured. It is easy to use and makes exceptional waffles when paired with the Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle FlourGolden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour, Original, 33-Ounce Cans (Pack of 3).

Question: How often does the user use the product?

I use different temps for different coffees and teas. The Bonavita heats quickly and accurately. The price was great and after 6 months of daily morning and night use it has held up very well. I have resisted the impulse to use the spout as a second handle. It would seem a bad idea, but it's very tempting. The handle is well designed with a nice little projection on the inside to keep it from slipping through one's hand as the pot is tilted. A thoughtfully designed unit - they even include a plastic button cover for highly spill prone uses or users.

Question: When were the items purchased for employees?

I bought one for myself and loved it so much I purchased more for my employees for xmas. They all use them and love them. They are buying more for their family members and even buying baby bottles from the same company. I think these are a must for everyone. If you care about yourself and you care about what is or isn't in your drink. No chemicals seeping into your water and whatever this outside is made of is amazing. The whole thing goes into your dishwasher and comes out sparkling clean. I would however, advise that you take the rubber seal out of the cap and rinse before using it out of the dishwasher or wash the rubber seal by hand. BTW, noticed that the ones with the drinking spout are more popular than the ones without. Fabulous bottle and you will love it. I highly recommend to anyone.

Question: What did this person buy?

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

Question: Does the saucepan fit a Corning stove top burner?

Swiss Diamond is my very favorite cookware. I would have the whole collection if I could afford it. I bought this saucepan to replace a different brand the same size, 2.5 qts. I was disappointed to find that the tapered sides make it too small for any burner location on my Corning stove top. I could use it, even though there is a good amount of "red" showing around the pan bottom when the heating element is turned on, but this is not recommended by the stove manufacturer. I guess it didn't click in when I saw the photo, that the sides were slanted instead of straight like my older pan. I can still use this in the oven, as they work great for that, but may just end up giving it to a relative with appropriate size stove burners.

Question: Do the burgers rise up in the middle?

This patty press is just perfect. You can't beat the price. It cleans up in a snap. We make 1/4 lb. and 1/2 lb. burgers without much effort. The bottom part has a piece that lifts out, so you don't have to worry about the burgers sticking. The bottom piece impresses a dimple into the burgers, so they cook more evenly and don't puff up in the middle. The shape is perfect and fits nicely on the bun. One thing we discovered by trial and error is: if you are using the patty papers for freezing, don't put the paper in the press. Press out your burgers first, then layer the papers in between the burgers to prevent sticking when frozen. When you put the paper into the press, the paper gets embedded into the meat and it is very difficult to peel the paper off of the frozen burger.

Question: What feature on the strainer help to keep you from spilling your food?

I bought this to replace an old strainer I had used for years that had belonged to my Mother. This OXO strainer was the closest I could find to what I had been using. It seems very well made and the mesh is secure in the handle and does not push out on the sides which will keep food from catching up under the rim.This is actually nicer than I expected it to be, I like it. It will be used for straining seeds out of fresh squeezed lemon/lime juices, pulp from making almond milk, and for any of the smaller jobs that don't require a larger strainer. The little loop on the end helps this balance on bowls making it easy to pour your food without spilling. The handle has a nice grip that doesn't get hot and is easy to hold. I have no doubt that this will last for years.

Question: What lessons the beeping noise?

This induction cooktop cuts down on boiling time about half from what it takes on my electric range. No complaints there. The problem for me with this cooktop is its incessant beeping. You take a pot off the surface from where it's been boiling to pour some water into your cup, and it beeps immediately until you put it back down. It does a little better if you set the cooktop to "warm" instead of leaving it on regular cooking/boiling modes, but then it'll only give you about ten seconds of having the pot off the surface before it beeps at you to demand you put it back down. Some days I move slowly, and get beeped/yelled at a lot by this cooktop. It's not a soft, friendly beep either, it's similar to a smoke alarm kind of beep that makes your heart race to hear it. I'd rather get a different induction cooktop that's a bit friendlier and doesn't beep at me so much.

Question: How much did the author pay for the two piece shaker?

The shaker itself is great, but the scale should read up to at least 16 oz.In contrast, I have a cheap Boston shaker with a rubber gasket that costed $10 at BevMo, and it has a scale that reads up to 16 oz.Not everyone makes 3 oz martinis.I'm an ice junkie. I need all my beverages ice cold, whether it's iced tea or iced coffee. Whatever I drink, I love using a Boston shaker to get the job done.While the seal mechanic itself is great, it's a shame that the company only makes this model for 10 oz...Forgiving if it was $20, but for a $50 two-piece shaker, it's a deal breaker because you expect so much more. Not to mention, the accompanying strainer costs an additional $23...So far, I've yet to come across a quality shaker like this model that has a 16 oz scale for convenience and practicality. I don't wanna bust out a measuring cup/shot glass/jigger everytime I'm gonna drink something... 'cause I literally shake at least six drinks at various times of the day.

Question: What kind of product is being reviewed?

Ok here is a review you can count on as I have been preparing fondue for many many years now and I thought I would give this make a try. BIG mistake at least for oil cooking such as beef and chicken. The Cuisinart heats quicker and cooks much better even though they are the same wattage. The Trudeau has a fork holder/splatter ring that is way too big and leaves little room for cooking even for just two people. Four people cooking would be a mess. It is better for cheese or chocolate compared to Cuisinart though as it has the insert bowl to keep the cheese or chocolate from sticking, and is easy to clean up. The Cuisinart is a MUCH better overall fondue pot and for a LOT less money, plus it is dishwasher safe. The Cuisinart also has a non stick coating (great for oil cooking but not cheese) which is awesome. The only problem with the Cuisinart is the absence of an inner bowl insert for cheese and chocolate. The Trudeau is way overpriced for what you get. Think twice on this one.

Question: How did the reviewer obtain this product?

Got this with my rewards points when I signed up for a credit card. I was looking at a different Cuisinart one, but free is free. What I like about this is the chopper attachment, its what I have used the most, since I got this at the beginning of summer and haven't had the opportunity to use the immersion feature.I have used the chopper attachment to make salsa, guacamole, blend hot salsa verde, whipped cream, and chop various vegetables. I also used it to make my own Larabars, but after blending the dates and nuts for more than a couple minutes I could smell something overheating, and I could hear it lose power. I will still use it to make Larabars, but I will have to take breaks on it or something.I haven't been able to use the whisk attachment, I must be missing a piece, I have no idea how to attach it. Oh well.

Question: What was the reviewers aim?

I wish this review was more positive, I really do. We have four dogs in our house and we purchased a new leather sectional. Our aim was to mostly prevent the dogs from scratching the leather. While these do an okay job of covering the surface of the sofa and protecting it - the annoyance I experience is that because it's leather these protectors more or less slide down if you look at them wrong. It would be awesome if there was some sort of fastening system involved as well.I imagine that you won't have this problem when you're using these on cloth as they will stick much better, so if you've a cloth chair/sofa then you'll probably love 'em.

Question: How would this user change the design of the product?

The iron is light-weight, so it is easy to handle and maneuver. Also, the instructions are very simple and understandable, which is nice given that the iron has many functions. The steam feature has many different uses, including an upright steam capability. There are three different steam intensity settings depending on an item's fabric type. The compartment that holds the water for steaming is transparent, which allows me to predict the need to refill it, so I'll never be stuck without water in the middle of ironing. Overall, I am very happy with my iron as it is easy to use and does a great job.If I could change something about this iron, I would make the tip more narrow for increased precision. Also, it would be convenient if I didn't have to empty the water storage container after every use. Other than that, I am quite pleased!

The iron is light-weight, so it is easy to handle and maneuver. Also, the instructions are very simple and understandable, which is nice given that the iron has many functions. The steam feature has many different uses, including an upright steam capability. There are <hl> three <hl> different steam intensity settings depending on an item's fabric type. The compartment that holds the water for steaming is transparent, which allows me to predict the need to refill it, so I'll never be stuck without water in the middle of ironing.

Question: What is the writer going to replace?

I have an old home with vertical blinds that we've been talking about replacing for a few years, especially since several vanes were broken where they attach at the top.My handyman told me that Home Depot had repair kits (and they do, but contain extra hardware you may not need), but I never got around to addressing it.One day I'd had enough of these things falling down and Googled around and discovered these on Amazon.They are easy to apply and work perfectly.Some say they are a bit pricey for what they're made of, but the ease of use and sturdiness trumps that for me.I fixed over 10 vanes and they are all working perfectly (we have a LOT of vertical blinds).Great product!

Question: How long has the user been using the thermos?

I've been using this for about 2 weeks. I love cold water, like water that's been refrigerated, don't like ice. But at work I wasn't able to keep my water cold so I always ended up grabbing a can of Coke (office keeps these in the frig). if I put a bottle of water in the frig, everyone would have helped themselves to my cold water. I figured a thermos might work. This Thermos keeps the water at least cool all 10.5 hours I'm at work (it does go from cold to cool as the day gets long but it's still cool enough) so I've kicked the Coke habit and have been drinking a lot more water. Except now I run out of water, drink it all, so now am thinking about getting a bigger Thermos. I like the strap handle. Keep forgetting that the screw in plug doesn't need to be completely removed to pour water, you just have to twist it a bit since the plug has a liquid-canal in it. I'm just happy with this guy. Thinking of buying a Thermos mug too so my water will always be cold.

Question: How often do I cook?

I cook every night for a family of 5. I recently acquired the Lodge Double Dutch 5 qt. dutch oven and fell in love with cast iron. I ordered this skillet thinking the bigger size would be good to cook for my large family and I was right, but when I say it's big I mean it's MASSIVE (and heavy!). I wiped it down with some flax seed oil and put it into my heated oven and it fit with very little wiggle room. It certainly will not fit in my cabinets so it will have to live on my stove-top which is just fine by me.A lot of reviewers have complained about the "rough" finish on the inside of the skillet. To me, it doesn't seem that rough. There is a definite texture to it but nothing that will totally destroy the integrity of your food, in my opinion. Don't let a little texture steer you away from buying this bargain-priced skillet - you can always season, season, season to get that smooth patina cast iron is renowned for.One thing to note is that the product picture indicates that there are two pour spouts between each handle. My skillet does not have the pour spouts. That's slightly disappointing but this skillet is so heavy that I doubt I will be able to gracefully pour anything out of this thing, pour spouts or not. Amazon should update its picture of the product.All in all, I am thrilled with my beast of a skillet. The size is great for my large family but if you aren't cooking for a bunch of people I think this skillet may be overkill for you. Try a 12-in or even a 10.5 in. skillet.Edit: I just received the 12-in rooster pan as a gift and I am thrilled! The rooster design adds a homey touch to our otherwise contemporary kitchen. I use the 15 inch skillet every day but it takes up so much room on my stovetop that it is difficult to cook two things at a time. Now I can easily use my 12 inch and 10.5 inch skillets on the stovetop while the big boy 15 incher is baking in the oven. I cannot get enough of cast iron!

Question: What's makes this better than other single cup coffeemakers?

I purchased this after my daughter moved out. She likes K-cups, I like my own decaf brands of coffee. This way we can have both, kind of.It is very slow heating - takes four minutes for a cup of coffee. Not a problem, unless you want to brew two cups - with the two minute recommended wait, it takes ten minutes. So count this as strictly a single cup coffeemaker.I like the choice better than the Keurig - because you fill this with exactly the amount you have in your cup! No overflows, no problems. Pour it in, everything comes out.It has a nice small footprint and is perfect for me. But if all you want is a single cup, there are a lot out there that are cheaper and that will provide a single cup much faster. Only get this one if you need the extra features.

Question: What is not easy to do?

I disagree that Wilton is easy to roll out - perhaps that was on an extremely hot day in a very humid house?! I can't tell you how crappy this fondant is to work with. it is so stiff. My husband and I tried it several times (thinking maybe at first we just got a bad box) we both sat with half the box each and worked it until our hands were sore to get it vaguely softened. Then I tried to roll it out, it was so stiff I was using my whole body weight to roll it. My husband rolled it out with difficulty. By the time you've managed to roll it thin enough (all that effort takes time) it has dried out and cracks as it folds over the cake. Terrible fondant. SATIN ICE is much much better, more pliable, easier to roll out and much nicer flavor. Wilton flavor is kinda ok, it's not discusting like some say but SATIN ICE is so much nicer and also comes in many different flavors like vanilla or buttercream - even chocolate! whereas Wilton comes in one fake flavor. Stay away from Wilton!!!!

Question: What kind of motor does it have?

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

Question: What cord feature do we like about the vacuum?

I bought this for one purpose and that was to clean our screened in porch and then store it in a small tote on the porch, along with all the accessories. It has filled the bill precisely. It's small, compact, easy to pull around and has plenty of suction. We also like the retractable cord feature. Now we don't have to drag that big, bulky shop vac around and knock paint chips off the door frames when getting it out the garage. The other important item is the price, which is very reasonable. I didn't need to take out a loan to pay for it either and I wasn't paying for features I'd never use such as paint spraying, trying to suck up bowling balls through a 1 1/2" hose or mixing smoothies on the veranda. This is a great little vacuum for the price.

Question: How many did they try?

I didn't want to splurge on a wooden wine rack so I decided to try four of these instead (buy 3 get 1 free deal from Amazon seemed like great value). If you want to use it on shelves in a closet it's not a bad buy. But it's not very attractive and stacking seems pretty dicey. If you want to stack them more than two high you will definitely need to anchor the sides to a wall. Two high works okay but requires zip ties for stability and even that makes me a little nervous. The plastic is the glossy kind that scratches if you look at it wrong and attracts every bit of dust and pet hair in the house. Since I didn't realize all its shortcomings until I had unpackaged all 4 and tried several configurations I guess I'm stuck with it for now, but eventually I'll find something better-looking and more stable...preferably wooden.

Question: What do the suction feet keep the processor from doing?

For a <$50 food processor this product is great! The suction cup feet are a bit odd but really thoughtful addition - almost acts like a third hand to keep the machine from walking on the counter while running. The shredding/slicing disk is a nice addition and helps make the food processor a little more handy! Has handled veggies, chicken, and making pesto with ease and dishwasher safe for easier cleanup.

Question: What brand of product is the person reviewing?

Finally, an original thick Oster gasket as advertised and/or pictured. I ordered one of these (according to picture displayed which looked super-thick) from Goodmans and got the cheap thin plastic one. I emailed them about it they apologized and said they would send me the correct one. So they went and sent me another cheap thin plastic flimsy one which of course ended up cracking. I think they meant well but you can certainly tell the difference between the real authentic original and the newer skimpy made ones and not necessarily by the 5 star or 6 star shape. Most of the cheap ones have 6 but I do have a cheap flimsy one with only 5 sticking out. This one is super thick and hard plastic. You'll know when you pick it up and feel the weight and texture that it's the real deal...

Question: Compared to the photo, how does the product seem?

After initial puzzlement I figured out how to put it together and it was not easy. I am stubborn so I got it to work. However it is much flimsier than I imagined from the photo. It was not good looking enough to put where I originally wanted it. It does not fit cleanly into a corner angle and is so light weight that a bump dislodges it. However I did have another corner in the back of the room where it could live and look ok so there it stays. I had not realized that it was only a thin wicker front. The support rods are very difficult to get together so I would never take the cloth bag out because of its snug fit which is what actually holds everything together. I will use it but I do not recommend that anyone else purchase it. Use your $ to put toward some other basket type or the mesh fold-ups.

I will use it but I do not recommend that anyone else purchase it. Use your $ to put toward some other basket type or the mesh fold-ups.

After initial puzzlement I figured out how to put it together and it was not easy. I am stubborn so I got it to work. However it is <hl> much flimsier <hl> than I imagined from the photo. It was not good looking enough to put where I originally wanted it. It does not fit cleanly into a corner angle and is so light weight that a bump dislodges it.

Question: How man reviews are they gonna write on the pans?

I am only writing one review on these pans. They are so much easier than the old spring for pans with the clamp on the side. I ordered all three sizes -- the eight, nine, and ten-inch pans. Have used only the ten inch- one and given the eight-inch one to a grand daughter. Still have the nine-inch new in the box. This is absolutely a great product. I bake the cheese cake in it without the foil wrap in the water bath. It does not leak and is SO easy to remove the ring when ready. I'm so glad I "sprung" for it.

Question: For which kind of work has this wok been designed?

I am just amazed at this wok! I had just bought an electric wok this spring and while I like it (I think I reviewed it...) this Chefs Toolbox wok is much, much better quality.First, the wok is heavy-duty and has a top-of-the-line feel and look to it. If you wanted to give someone a wok as a Christmas or wedding gift, a moving out present..this would impress! It's also something that will probably last decades with proper care. (Be sure to wash it with hot, hot soapy water before that first use, as with any cookware.) The cooking area goes from the flatter/bottom area of 7 inches to the top of the wok coming in at 14.5. The sides are pretty sloped. The handles have a nice, slightly brushed look to them and they are super solid. There is no fear of losing a handle or having trouble gripping these. I also love the flatness of the main part of the handle, it just feels nice, looks good, gives a professional quality.The steamer..dang..it is HUGE! If you like to steam ANYTHING at all, this is the way to go! As soon as I opened it I thought, wow!! I can toss all my old (broken, bent etc) cheap steamer baskets and use this to steam crab legs!! Yay! I just can't think of anything you could not steam with this. The base/cooking area is 14 inches, can you believe it!? The only thing is you could not use it for anything too small or fragile (like broccoli) because the holes themselves are big enough to easily put a pencil through. You could use foil to place food on though, if you wanted to.The lid is clear, a major improvement over most woks. I've actually never seen one with a clear lid before, so this will allow you to see your food without letting out heat. A nice feature.The only possible drawback is that it's rather heavy. My electric wok is super light, but in the end, it feels like a cheap kitchen item compared to this. The Chefs Toolbox's weight makes it feel like what you paid for it. Again, this would make a great gift and a super addition to any kitchen.Sheri Gill

Question: The baked items should be brushed with what?

I am a silicone pan convert. I still love my metal pans and continue to buy them like mad, but I'm no longer afraid of the silicone.These are individual muffin or cupcake pans, about the same size as one cavity in a standard 12-cup metal muffin pan. They have lovely large and deep scalloped sides which make the cupcakes or muffins look delightful when popped out of the baking pan. These are cute served with either end up. If you're glazing or serving with a sauce, the smaller end up (bottom) looks great, and if you're frosting them with swirls of fluffy frosting, then serve them in the more traditional manner.I find I need to turn the oven heat down about 25 degrees when cooking in silicone, I bake them on a cookie sheet spaced a few inches apart, and it's important to let the baked items cool in the pans. They will be too tender and soft to come out in one piece if you try to remove them while they are still hot.Brush with melted butter or spritz with non-stick spray for the first use, and it won't be necessary after that. I wash these by hand, just because it's easy, though they are dishwasher safe. They stack nicely and don't take up much space. I probably need a second set!

Question: What kind of power does the vacuum have a lot of?

This vacuum is so superior to dustbusters(I have owned too many to count).It actually has lots of suction power and the battery stays charged for a good long time. I do not leave the unit on the charger..(I think this wears down the battery faster)and only charge it when it sounds like it is getting low...downside...it is a bit tough to remove from the charger unit and I wish the tool storage was a bit more permanent...they just sit there and get knocked off easily...but using this vacuum has been easy and it is great to know that it will do a good job when called on....pet hair, crumbs, sand, etc.....

Question: what were they excited to try?

I was very excited to try out this vacuum. For the most part it does well, but I have a few concerns:1. The cord is too short. Most vacuums allow me to plug in the middle of the house and do most of the house. This one does not.2. I hadn't had a canister vacuum for years. Now I know why. This would have been a much better vacuum as an upright.3. I don't like the sanitizing. It feels like nothing is happening. I don't know how you would know if you went over it enough or not.4. The dirt cup is not very big. We have a lot of dog hair, and while it picked it up great, I was always emptying the cup.It picks up well and isn't too loud. I just wish at least the cord was longer and the dirt cup was bigger, if they didn't make it an upright.

Question: What brand mentioned is complimented most?

If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!! I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was. I read these reviews and I wonder why sometimes people submit a review without really knowing the product. This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. I've cooked chickens to perfection, blueberry pecan bread to die for, steaks rare to well done, toast that my very expensive Kitchen Aid toaster would be proud of and all of this in a little compact powerful machine. It's got its own brain so if yours isn't working quite right it will keep you on track, does not heat up your kitchen, is stainless steel and you get what you paid for. I've given 3 of these away and everyone loves this unit. Thanks Breville your are the best.

Question: What was expected of this blender?

...... we found that it is not as powerful as we expected. The blender works better if "frozen" fruits are thawed first and fresh fruit, etc are cut / sliced into smaller bits and crushed ice instead of cubes. Harder items should be added first another with some type of liquid before softer items otherwise the blade just spins. Don't overload the blender! The blender does what it says it will do, providing you follow the instructions and enjoy "thinner" smoothies. This blender is rather loud but expected.

Question: What side of the toast was darker?

I have ordered and returned several toasters because they did not toast evenly across the slice. Some were considerably more expensive than this one. This one seems pretty even, but it did toast one side of the bread side darker than the other. The side closer to the center was darker--however, it was within my standards for eating on both sides (but barely on the darker side). I will be keeping it as I am tired of the search for a good toaster, and at least this one is even.One feature toasters seem to never have now is the option for one slice. Older toasters could sense if you had only one slice in and would heat only the coils on that side (it was always a specific side--it would only sense this happening if it was in the correct slot). I suspect that is what this one needs, and the fact that it is heating coils on both sides even though I have only one slice of bread in is why it is darker on the bread side closer to the center of the toaster.I cannot comment on the longevity as I have only had it a few days.

Question: How many pillow cases did the author put in the box?

This is an attractive storage box made of wide-weave papery fabric. The see-through window is clear and flexible. The box was packed flat and arrived in two pieces: one is the entire box including the lid which is attached at the back; and the second piece is a firm, flat insert for the bottom of the box. It goes together in seconds. I filled the large-size box to capacity with flannel sheets: two queen flat, two queen fitted & four pillow cases and was able to tightly close the lid. InterDesign makes a variety of storage options, all of which seem to be reasonably priced. Mixing and matching the various containers seems like an easy way to organize a closet so that it stays tidy and looks great. I got this one for free in order to write an honest review, but I am going to buy more.

Question: This will save you a lot of what, in the long run?

I grew up with my mom making this for me as a snack after school. Not that I'm all "grown up" and moved out on my own, I still make all of my popcorn using this! It much healthier than the bagged microwave popcorns, all you need is a little veggie oil on the bottom and add the popcorn kernels and you're good to go! Makes the perfect popcorn in my opinion. This will save you a lot of money in the long run as well only having to buy the kernels, microwave popcorn bags can add up. I won't use anything else to make my popcorn snack, when friends come over they ask for me to make this because they love it so much! It makes a lot in one batch, so it's sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Question: What do they store with it?

I use these mylar bags to buy in bulk at Sam's Club and Costco, then store it in mylar with an O2 absorber to give the product long shelf life. The great thing is with these bags you can store a reasonable amount of an item like flour or beans and when you break the seal you don't really have more on hand than you can reasonably use before it goes bad. You can store all types of things other than food in these too. In a situation where something might rust, mold, or otherwise decay you can toss it in one of these bags with an O2 absorber and seal it up, knowing that it will be the same when you need it next.
