Question: What type of living quarters is the protable A/C unit best designed for?

When you first see the price tag on this portable A/C unit, you might suffer a bit of sticker shock, but let me tell you right out - it is worth every penny. First the portability. Yes, the item in question weighs roughly 100 lbs, but the portability doesn't have to do with the weight, but rather the ability to have it anywhere in your house or apartment rather than shoved in a window. The portable in the title doesn't imply lightweight to some, so I'm making the clarification here.The portable unit covers about 550 square feet, which is wonderful if you have a small apartment, loft or studio. It's also wonderful to have if you live in an apartment complex where AC is only on from say, May to August and you experience a heat wave or you live in the South where it's still warm long after Summer ends. In any of these cases this A/C unit will be a godsend. This would also be great on a screened in porch.Now even though you don't need to put the unit in a window, you do need to use one for the Window, which again limits the actual portability for the unit. The length of the exhaust kit is not very long and there's no real way to lengthen it, so keep that in mind when considering to purchase this.Now I have to again state that the A/C unit works wonderfully. it gets the room or area un question quite cool and it does so quickly. This probably won't be a replacement for central air, but It's a far better choice than the old fashioned clunky boxes you stick in your windows.

Question: What was originally ordered?

This company sent me this by mistake, I had ordered an espresso machine, anyways they let me keep it at no charge. At first I was like so upset about it! But my kids hooked it up and made me tea, I am a big green tea drinker- well it boils water so fast that it only takes like two minutes for water hot enough for green tea. Anyway now I love it and its great. Also the owner of the company, Karl- he was great about the whole thing, he was so helpful and even though I was totally rude about the mistake he remained professional and apologetic and really fixed everything.

Question: What is the item made out of?

I love this item. It is perfect and beautiful. The best part is, its plastic. First let me quantify my delight, I am a mom of 3 boys under 5 years old who love to help themselves. With this cake plate I don't have to worry about it being too heavy or shattering under little hands.Its perfect for displaying your baked creations on the dining room table or you want to take your treats pool side. This is ideal for parties - desserts, crudites, cheese platters, trifle and so much more. I must admit though I don't think I would use it for punch. I tested it with water and it seems fine but with my rambunctious crew its not the smartest move.Perfect for mom with little ones who love to bake.

Question: How much does the new coffe maker cost than the old one?

I have always had an economical coffee maker like the Black and Decker DCM2500 but lately I have had to buy one after another, trying different brands each time. This one makes good coffee, just right temp, love the auto shut-off feature and is easy to fill. My problem is with the burner plate. It has been burning through and now rusting since we got it. The carafe has rust spots (I have a hard time removing)in the 2 places it sits over. The maker still works but I am worried it will catch fire or bust the glass carafe if not replaced. So I give it a 3 star rating. Not the worst I have ever had but not worth the money if I have to continually replace them. I am going with a new coffee maker that costs 3 times as much but maybe it will last at least 3 times longer.

Question: How does the reviewer describe the hem stitching?

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 kind of improvement does the reviewer suggest that would make the product better for leather?

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: what appliance does the steamer work well with?

This is hard to review because it there are good points and bad points.The best thing about this is it is flexible. It fits nicely in a microwave.The worst thing is it is flimsy. I know that this is basically the same as the good point but there is a slight difference.When the pot or bowl that you are using for the water is the same size as the steamer, then it works great But if the pot is larger then you need to be careful because the walls may collapse.The other issue are the feet on the steamer. They are a bit short and if you do not want the food getting wet, then you are limited on the amount of water you can have in the pot.For me this is best suited for microwave use. My soup bowls are the perfect size and shape for this and therefore, it works perfectly.

Question: Does the slice guide squish bread?

I am just start to enjoy home-baked breads using breadmaker. Slicing a loaf can be hit and miss, often with slanted slices that are either thick at the top, thin at the bottom, or vice versa! They are the joke of the consuming members of the family. Too ugly to serve!Then I found this very attractive slice guide. But the positives ends there. It was disappointing when I start to use it:1. Slice is either too thin or too thick (skipping a slot). Thin slices of soft bread is difficult to stand up on its own, and easily get squashed by ever slight pressure of pushing the loaf into the plastic end piece. This often resulted in badly cut slices for 3/4 of my loaf. The alternative is to cut a piece and take it out, then cut next piece - which defeats the purpose of this.2. Does not catch crumbs, so when using it on kitchen island, I get tons of crumbs to clean up after3. For high rising loaf, which is very typical for 2 pound loafs and often with 1.5 pound if yeast had a good rise, one must "eye ball" align and pray cutting in will result in knife go into the slot. This is a real skill! The other way is to rotate the loaf 90 degrees if the rised loaf did not rise too high.The above problems occur for SOFT BREADs, like the one I buy from super markets. So a premium bread knife is absolutely required. Short or dense breads are get better slicing results, but that is not the type of bread my family likes.I don't mind spending more money as long as it's value justify the price. From the build quality and esthetics, it's top notch and very "gourmet". But I highly question the designer's choice for such thin gap, unless it's really for dense breads. There are a lot of us only prefer real soft breads, and the slices are just too thin (or too thick) for the soft breads.

Question: What would be cute?

Cute novelty pan, but do not recomend for the 3D version cake. I used this for Thanksgiving and made the pumpkin cake recipe that came with the pan, it was good but had to bake a lot longer than recomended, and the head of the turkey over cooked and would not put together for the 3D version cake. I was dissapointed in this. I also put the turkey dressing in this pan and baked it, it was a hit for our Thanksgiving dinner. So you might want to try it for other things than the 3D cake. Cornbread would be cute! I did find it for half the price that was on Amazon so sent it back. You might want to shop around.

Question: How does this item keep from molding?

This product works very well for my white cast iron sink. It fits perfectly; supports my dishes; and I like that it does not rust and does not encourage mold growth by lying flat against the sink.This product would be even better if the rack prongs were spaced more closely together to prevent silverware, sippy cup filters, and other small items from falling through. Also, I wish that the black rubber stoppers along the bottom were also present on the four corners of the rack. The rack fits perfectly in my sink and prevents scratches on the bottom of the sink, but the four "corners" of my sink where the rack (almost) touches (and inevitably does touch/bang against my sink when I'm washing dishes)are scratched from this item.

Question: What did the poster cut?

This is the "best buy" blender recommended by Cook's Illustrated. They marked it down for not making perfectly smooth smoothies, and for taking a long-ish time to work. So far I have only used this blender to make smoothies, and there are often a few little chunks. Just something to be aware of if you're very particular about your smoothies.As other reviewers noted, the gasket for the blade is a clear/whitish color and could easily be lost.The edges on this blender are a little harsh: I cut my finger with the bottom of the base while getting it off a shelf, and the lid's plastic ridges are a bit sharp too. Just be careful.If these problems don't bother you, this is really a great deal for a blender. I expect to get many smoothies out of it, and am pleased overall with this product.

Question: What retailer did they purchase the folding racks from?

You used to be able to find folding racks like this at the local hardware store, even the grocery store, but those days are gone here in that retail desert between the Hudson and the west coast. Thank you, Amazon, for carrying this. It fits perfectly in my oval roaster pan. I used it at 450 degrees for the first 20 minutes of roasting the chicken in the oven (turned it down to 350 for the rest of the time) and it emerged fine, coating intact. Clean up was easier than easy (I did spray it with vegetable oil first).

Answer: Amazon

I used it at 450 degrees for the first 20 minutes of roasting the chicken in the oven (turned it down to 350 for the rest of the time) and it emerged fine, coating intact. Clean up was easier than easy (I did spray it with vegetable oil first).

Thank you, <hl> Amazon <hl> , for carrying this.


Question: What is wrong with the stand that cannot be threaded?

I bought these stands to hold my rear surround speakers and keep them at ear level. I am satisfied with the stands and how they function but one of the stands cannot be threaded into the base. As a result, the stand is unstable. Fortunately, the stand sits in a corner and I can place it up against the wall so there is no issue with it tipping over or anything. This is probably not a common problem and I suppose I received a defective item.The bottom line is I am happy with these speaker stands for the price and the quality despite the fact that one does not function properly. Comes with a couple different types of screws to use that can directly connect the speakers to the stand. Also comes with double sided tape to secure the speakers as well. 3 Stars because one stand is defective, but I still recommend these because they look great and function well for the price.

Question: What does the writer like about the product?

OK, I've been a Keurig fan for some time. I have a wide selection of coffees and teas on hand at all times, and my neighbors compare us to a coffee shop. I recently wore out my Cuisinart SS-700, so I opted for the Keurig B155 because it appears to be more capable and I truly liked the styling. Adding the ability to add this water connection was the best part!It took me just minutes to hook this unit up. I had a water line setup for my retired Bunn automatic, so it was a matter of installing this kit, attaching a water line adapter (sold separately,) attached the water line and I was ready to go.One thing to remember... it's important to completely unplug your brewer before attaching this unit. Simply using the power switch will not cause the brewer to recognize the direct connection.I would highly recommend this option to anyone... I'm so glad I'm no longer spilling water, dealing with internal filters or worrying about getting air into the system... based upon our level of usage, this was a great choice!

Question: How long it left there before slicing it?

I ordered this Feb 20 and got it before the end of the month.I immediately placed an uncut tomato in it. It was probably a week before I cut the first 2 thin slices. Then another week before another cut. And another week before my third cut.It has now been 5 weeks and I still have about 1/3 of my tomato AND IT'S STILL FRESH!I really do have a hard time believing how well this little thing works but it dos.Because we use tomatoes very sparingly, I've thrown out loads of soft, mushy, black-spotted tomato remnants.NO MORE! Good to the last slice!

Question: what is the reviewer's favorite aspect of the product?

My favorite thing about these mitts is that they can get completely wet on the outside but still remain dry on the inside because of the silicone exterior and cloth-padded interior, providing both utility and comfort. My only criticism is that in the rare circumstance when I'm holding something VERY hot (e.g. a tray fresh from a stove on 400F+) for 15+seconds my hands will start to get hot. This is a situation I almost never run into, so, if I could, I'd give this product 4.5 stars.Recommended!

Question: How long does it take to brew a pot of coffee?

I was excited to have one machine to make espresso and coffee in a compact size at a reasonable price. Be warned - you get what you pay for. We have had the machine about three months now and we are starting to have some issues with it. The espresso carafe is cracked and it was never dropped or mishandled. The cost to replace it is outrageous. In general, it takes 20 minutes to brew a full pot of coffee and the temperature is never consistent. The coffee pot spills everywhere when you pour due to the venting on the lid. It is pretty easy to clean. But the whole design is odd/poor overall. I am not very pleased with it as a whole. I will not buy another one of these. I will buck up and buy a more expensive one with better features.Just an update. The coffee maker suddenly stopped working completely. We cleaned it repeatedly on a regular basis and have no idea what the problem is. The espresso make still works. I pulled out the old Cuisinart and it works like a charm, even at five years old. You really do get what you pay for. After we get back from vacation, I will be looking for a higher quality dual machine that will hopefully last more than three months. Buyer beware.

Question: What does this person tend to be in the morning?

I have a very teeny kitchen and about 3 cubic feet of counter space. A traditional coffee maker takes up far too much room. I did not want to spend a fortune on a one cup brewer. Or the k cups that most of those more expensive makers use.I got this today. Followed the instructions and made myself of cup a joe. It was good. Makes a good cup of coffee and does it fast. The mug is good quality too. I love the automatic shut off as I tend to be absent minded first thing in the morning.If you are looking to make a good, basic cup of coffee using a machine with a small foot print, this will work. Easy to use as well.

Question: What brand are the trash bags?

These trash cans are the perfect size for rooms with less garbage can usage, like the bathroom, bedroom, or your desk. They're fingerprint proof and include 3 FREE BAGS for you to use. There's a plastic insert in the trash can to allow for easily hiding the trash bags and for holding the bags in place. If you'd prefer not to buy the Simple Human trash bags, you can use grocery store bags or if you're REALLY feeling adventurous, you could skip the bag and just wash the plastic insert after you throw out it's contents in a different room. (Ex. The kitchen as that one really should have a bag and be much larger)

Question: Where might I have put the shoe rack?

This shoe rack is OK. It wasn't too difficult to assemble, no tools. It comes with 8 metal bars and 2 sides to push the bars into, this is most easily done if you put the side of the rack on the ground and push the bars down into it and then put the top rack on top and push it down. It fits perfectly underneath my clothes in my closet and holds exactly 20 pairs of shoes; I have my boots, heels, flip flops, sneakers. The problem is the height of the shelves, it is a very small space for my shoes to fit, even the heels. I put my boots on the top rack because that's the only place they could fit. Like I said, it's OK but a great space saver.

Question: What addon was used to mix the meat to make meat loaf and meatballs?

This mixer is such a workhorse; it is always up for any amount of mixing you want to do. I have a black one that came with accessories--dough hooks, whisk, and drink mixer rod. What impressed me the most, along with the normal mixing and whisking, is when I used the dough hooks to mix a LARGE amount of ground beef mixture that I was preparing to make a couple of meat loaves and meatballs with. It tackled it with ease.If you want a hand mixer that you will have for years and years, this is the one. I've had other hand mixers (wedding gifts) but none of them compared to the KitchenAid one.

Question: Where are wheels under the can?

I bought this can because of the shape and it is a step can. I did not want one of those touch-less kind that seem to quit working quickly and use batteries. I have this same brand in stainless for another location, for the few years. It still looks and works like new. I needed a can that would fit into a narrow space, and it did not have to match my kitchen. This does that, as well as being made well. The very top of the bag does show on the outside when it is closed, but I don't have any problem with that. This does give a benefit. It makes the bag replacement fast and easy. Because the can has a lip at the top that holds the bag securely without having to use any special retaining devises. Or like my other can; having to remove the inside can and specially secure the bag though a hole. This one just uses that top lip to hold the bag and it is easy and fast. I like it's rear wheels, which make it easy to pull in and out of my little place it have for it to sit. The maker has designed this one to do the job without having to deal with a lot of other stuff.

Question: What do I do to prevent burns of food?

I've had this crock pot for several years now. The handle on the lid has broken off, but the crockpot itself still works like it did when it was brand new. The only problem with that is the that it cooks too hot. It seems to get hot spots sometimes, and almost always burns the top edges of my food. I have to stir it all the time even on low. Honestly, I have no idea why I haven't replaced this thing by now. That's actually why I am on Amazon now. Good Riddance Rival.

Question: Why did the author get the product?

Question: What do they like to do with them?

I bought these to assist with the stray pins that seem to jump out of the pin cushion onto the floor. My favorite use is as a assistant to medical magnets. If you are sensitive to magnetic therapy (not everyone is) it doesn't cost much to try them. I make lumbar pillows for those with back problems that do have positive responses to magnets. If it works for you great if not take some more Motrin and paste more pictures of the kids on the fridge. I like to use them as drawer liners in my desk to attract the paper clips and loose staples forever in the bottom of that drawer. I keep a strip in the medicine cabinet to hold the used razor blade I use to scrape paint and clean my glass top range when my cooking isn't quite up to par It is worth the trouble for me not to have to worry about little hands coming across them. Would enjoy hearing uses others have come up with for these. Buy a couple and let us all know. It is a hassle writing these but, I always check them before I buy anything and appreciate others that take that time

Question: What additional item can be purchased to go with this product?

When a young friend of our family's got married recently, I wanted to give her something that she would use a lot and for a long time so when I learned she needed a set of cookware, I researched and decided on this set. Apparently it was a good decision because she loves it. It's sturdy, attractive, easy to use and to clean and according to her mother who also owns Simply Calphalon, she will be using it forever. There is also a set of utensils that can be bought specifically for this set that works the best on the non-stick surface. It was shipped to me through Amazon Prime with no problem and was securely packed. So far it's a winner and if the bride's happy, then I'm happy!

Answer: set of utensils

When a young friend of our family's got married recently, I wanted to give her something that she would use a lot and for a long time so when I learned she needed a set of cookware, I researched and decided on this set. Apparently it was a good decision because she loves it. It's sturdy, attractive, easy to use and to clean and according to her mother who also owns Simply Calphalon, she will be using it forever. <hl> There is also a set of utensils that can be bought specifically for this set that works the best on the non-stick surface. <hl> It was shipped to me through Amazon Prime with no problem and was securely packed.

Question: What can you peel with it?

I'm tired of using cheap, plastic peelers. So I got this peeler. A strong stainless steel peeler to last. And dishwasher safe too! I'm a big fan of my new dishwasher, so I'm looking to upgrade everything to be dishwasher compatible. Stainless steel does better than plastic. IN terms of peeling, this peeler actually can slice very thin. It's an easy way to peel skins, or even make potato chips. It's easy to use, and comes in a pair so you can keep one clean at all time, or give one to a friend.Overall, this is an easy to use peeler on fruits, and vegetables and strong and should last for a long time.

Question: What is no exception?

I'm a big fan of Cuisinart cooking products, There pots and pans are top notch, and these cooking utensils are no exception. They are sold feeling, yet light weight and ergonomically correct feeling in my hands. Long enough to reach the deepest pots and don't get too hot to hold due to being hollow. Very easy clean up and great looking in general. My old utensils were in a drawer, there are going to go on a utensil rack and display prominently in my kitchen. Sure you can get cheaper plastic utensils that will still flip a burger or scoop up a ladle of soup, but when you want quality and want your things to look as good as they perform, these are worth the extra couple bucks. And being stainless, I can see these lasting for many many years to come.

Question: Where was the first salt and pepper shaker bought from?

Spent ages looking for an all in one pepper and salt shaker. First bought a Dansk one from crate and barrel, but the pepper compartment was tiny, so returned that.Very pleased with the operation of this one. Like that you can see through, so you know when you are low, and it grinds and shakes well. Have had it a few months and no problems.

Question: How are these bags meant to be cleaned?

Cannot say enough about these bags. We've been using them for a three months now and they are AWESOME!--The handels are strong and hold tough even when they are packed heavy.--The plastic inserts show zero signs of cracking or wearing out.--The vibrant colors are fun and help remind me to grab them from the back seat of my car (where they "live")--They ARE washable! We put one through the wash with all the other clothes and it came out in one peice! My husband thew it in the dryer (to my horror) but it came out just fine! A little wrinkled, but nothing an iron couldn't fix. In the future I will def be air drying them to maintain their crisp shape.The only con is that grocery store baggers tend to pack them TOO FULL! I have to remind them, "please pack the bags 1/2 full" or they are just too heavy and I have to worry about things getting crushed. However, when it comes to camping and going to the beach they are perfect for snacks, clothes, extra towels, garbage can, or whatever! We do not travel without one or two in the car anymore!

Question: How long does it last on a charge

I have purchased just about every cordless vacuum out there including a pricey ($99) cordless that never came close to the manufacturer's claims. After numerous disappointments I finally found the (almost) perfect cordless vacuum.I have seven cats and a combination of hardwood and carpeting in my home and this is the first cordless that I have found to pick up both cat hair on the carpet and on bare floors. It is surprisingly powerful for a cordless and once fully charged seems to last quite a long time until it needs recharging.I only have a few minor complaints being that it is a bit heavier and noisier than other cordless vacuums and the head is somewhat floppy. Considering how well it picks up and how long the charge lasts, the good far outweigh the bad.If you have animals and don't want to be hauling out the big vacuum everyday, this is an excellent choice to consider.

Question: How much does the toaster oven heat up the kitchen?

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: How many pounds of carrots will they buy next week?

I bought these because I do a lot of freezing of extra milk or fruit or vegetable juices that I make up. I wanted something that would give me a 'glassful' of juice or milk thawed out at a time. I liked what I got. I got a new juicer and the carrots that had been waiting for me to juice were going bad. I had a lot of carrots to process in one day and I needed to store them in the freezer. These were perfect! I got all the carrots processed and put in these little jars into the freezer and saved a lot of money by not having to throw out carrots or carrot juice that I couldn't drink in one day (fruit and vegetable juices that are fresh juiced need to be drank the same day if in the 'fridge.) I just finished off the last 8-ounce jar of juice today that I had stored in the freezer. I'll be repeating the process next week when I get more juicing carrots in 15 pound bags. I'm grateful to have these jars from Ball for all my freezer needs. There is also a 30 piece set of freezer jars by Ball also available that I will be buying soon. I found that when I figured it out, those would be more cost efficient for my needs. But these are great if you don't have allot to freeze. I highly recommend these.

Question: What allows for easy transport?

I ordered this basket because I wanted a decorative way of keeping all my cosmetics by my couch so I can take my make up off while watching tv in the evening, before bed. I just like to do my routine with creams, lotions etc while in the living room and with so many bottles, cotton pads etc, it could look messy on a shelf or on a side table. This little basket does the job perfectly - it's the ideal size to hold all of my items and is very sturdy, has a very stylish look, the brown blends in with my furniture and so having cosmetic bottles in my living room doesn't look nearly as odd! Also, I like the handles, allows me to transport the basket around with ease. I can imagine using this basket and the same set in different sizes for a million things in the apartment, so I will definitely be ordering more. Highly recommend!

Question: Is it durable

We recently broke our 8 inch glass Pyrex and decided maybe we'd try metal instead. We were at a local store and my wife grabbed an 8 inch pan off the shelf. I noticed it was made in China and put it back on the shelf. I then saw Chicago Metallic and grabbed one, only to find out it was also made in China. I went around to the other side of the isle and noticed USA Pans. I knew that they're the best and made in the U.S. because I have the Pullman Loaf pan. You could drive over this pan with your car and it probably wouldn't do much damage.....really. You get what you pay for. This pan works well. Just know that you still need to spray this pan or use oil, butter etc. It does an amazing job with the Cooks Illustrated Corn Bread recipe (the one with actual corn kernels in it).

Question: When do they use a grind?

Makes a three shots of great tasting "espresso". I use a grind halfway between drip and espresso. Found starting with hot water makes a much better brew - less time on the stove. Steam and water leaked between the chambers the first couple times I used it. Took the seal off and carefully cleaned it and the threads; problem solved. Easy to clean, too.

Question: Does it hold a lot?

I love the color. It is very strong. It holds a lot. It doesn't get dirty at all like a lot of other similar products. I use this as my laundry basket. It can be use for so many different things. I need a few more of these bongo bags. They are awesome.

Question: Did the dishes get damaged in the dishwasher?

I ordered these to complement16 Piece Pure White Ribbed Porcelain Dinnerware Set, I intended to use these a tea mugs. I liked the uniqueness of them but, when they arrived I realized that the handle is not well-balanced. The handle will accommodate a large hand but, the curve makes it awkward. The starburst pattern on the bottom was a surprise - thought I should mention it. The dishes held up in the dishwasher, no chips or porcelain impurities noticed. The pour hole for the porcelain is located under the top portion of the handle, it is too visible - my eye was immediately drawn toward it.

Question: What do some places serve beer in?

Some beers just taste better cold. Have you ever noticed how the first sip of an ice cold beer is always the best? Or have you noticed how some bars server certain beers in frosted mugs? They know that some beers just taste better when kept cold. I like some beers at a warmer temperature, but for others these mugs are awesome.We just keep them in the freezer upside down, pour the beer in slowly down the inside of the mug and enjoy. These things get so cold they will freeze some of the beer to the inside of the mugs. If you're going to be sitting inside you might want to let the mugs warm up slightly before use to prevent too much of the beer from freezing inside. If you are outside in the warmer air then get ready for beer drinking perfection. :)
