Question: In what way is the decanting process described?

I have just started to drink a bit more wine lately, and although I'm certainly no wine connoisseur, I do know enough to realize that your red wine needs to decant a bit for optimum taste. However, the decanting process seemed like such a hassle - who really wants to spend time pulling a decanter off a shelf just to have to wash it later - plus, you have to wait, and as Inigo Montoya so eloquently said, "I hate waiting." Now, the problem is solved! Attach this aerator to your bottle, pour your glass, and enjoy right away. No waiting. That makes me happy!

Question: Why didn't the writer buy the blender online?

I bought this last night from a brick and mortar store, I didn't want to wait for shipping. So far I am impressed. I am following a 3 day detox/cleanse from Dr. Oz's site, so I picked up this blender. The unit feels really well built and sturdy. The grips on the bottom of the device are like superglue, the device is not going to go anywhere. It packs a punch and does so without making you wish you had ear protection. It does not take up too much counter space, which is a huge plus. So far I am happy with it. I read the booklets that came with it and made sure to follow the directions. One of the books has recipes and is very bright with color. I made 3 shakes with it last night and it powered right through them. I had no leaking and everything was very well blended.Owned it for one day, no regrets about my purchase.

Question: What color is it?

This looks great once assembled and provides plenty of organization. The color looks gray-ish in the picture, but it isn't (thankfully for us). The description is accurate in saying the color is black with brown undertones. It was made to look like wood that was painted black, but only to the point where wood grain is showing through slightly.The instructions are very long and specific. If you read them very carefully and understand what is being said, they are very helpful. There is a plastic leg that goes in the middle of the base that sticks out slightly more than the other legs...hopefully this was just ours since we were able to easily spin the TV stand. We have cardboard under the back legs to keep it still...this may be ok on carpet, though.Overall this is great and we are very pleased!

Question: How many trips did the reviewer make to the home improvement store?

Leave it to OXO Good Grips to come up with this clever solution to an annoying problem.When the stopper to our bathtub drain finally bit the dust (with hard water hastening its demise), two trips to the home improvement store later and we still couldn't find a replacement that would fit the hole, despite measuring and remeasuring the diameter.By that point we were willing to settle for showers until we discovered the OXO Good Grips Tub Stopper, which relies on gravity and suction to simply fit flatly and snugly in any sized drain. And, when done, you simply pull it up by the flap, which has a little suction cup on the back, allowing it to be stored on the inside of the tub or on the tiles.Thank you, OXO, for extending your cleverness beyond the kitchen...

Question: What product was ordered?

WELCOME TO MY COOKING LABOATMEAL: I ordered this slow cooker specifically for making my Irish steel cut oatmeal, for which it is perfect. It cooks the oats in three to four hours on low. If I have pre-ground the oats in my mini processor first, they cook more quickly than otherwise. To pre-grind all one needs do is pulse the oats two or three times in your mini food processor. Right now, I use 2/3 of a cup of oats with a dash of salt to slightly less than 3 cups of water. I taste for doneness at around 3 hours of cooking on low. I serve my cooked oatmeal with Vermont maple syrup, warmed, reduced-fat milk and topped with a few thawed berries or fresh fruit.OATMEAL: The oatmeal that I use is in a newly-opened can of McCann's Irish steel cut oatmeal. I store an opened can in a tightly sealed container in the fridge, and use it up pretty quickly.CROCKERY INSERT: The white crockery insert has handles extending beyond the two sides of the top of the cooker. The handles make it easy to grasp the hot crockery and remove it from the cooker, but you must use oven mitts before grasping the hot handles of the crockery to avoid burning your fingers. Because the bottom of the crockery is rough and could scratch the counter top, I keep a good-sized trivet next to the cooker when I am ready to remove the crockery.COVER: The cover has a tightly sealed black gasket around the bottom which prevents the water from seeping out of the slow cooker. When you lift the cover to test for doneness, the many water droplets that have accumulated at the underneath of the cover are very hot, so avoid burning yourself or your counter tops.

Question: Has the customer had any trouble with the factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Professional mixer that they bought two years ago?

I have owned a factory-reconditioned KitchenAid Professional Mixer (6 qt.) for over two years and have had no trouble with it. It arrived in perfect shape, looking brand new. I bought this one for my daughter as a wedding gift. It was on her gift registry at a chain store. I saved $155 off the retail price (over 50%) using the OCTSAVER coupon and by applying for an Amazon Visa card, plus have six months to pay with no interest. The mixer arrived yesterday and has no scratches or blemishes. It, too, looks brand new. I took it out of the box to be sure it looked new, and only had to adjust the beater height using the screw in the neck of the mixer to get it in perfect shape. I know she will love it and it will look great in her kitchen. Maybe she'll even use it to cook something!

Question: What model is the person reviewing?

Before I make a purchase I always check the reviews on Amazon. I did not however purchase the NB-900 thru Amazon because I wanted to be able to return it to my local box store in case the bad reviews proved true for me too.I've always juiced my kale greens and apples and had to get used to the smoothie texture. I call mine a "thickie" because I put less water in the 32-oz. Blending for 60 seconds macerates the kale. However, following the advice of "TheFruitarian" on You Tube I now blend for no longer than 30 seconds. This makes the kale more "al dente" and I'm okay with that. Adding a banana makes the drink smoother.When I add less water the smoothie has the consistency of applesauce.This is my 4th day on kale/apple smoothies and I'm not looking back.

Question: How much bread did they make per month?

I have been using this breadmaker for over an year now and every loaf comes out marvelous! It looks sharp, and its easy to clean.I found that adding an egg or two, and sometimes a little beer to the bread recipes makes the loafs come out FLUFFY FLUFFY FLUFFY!Wonderful!AND... at only about $1/loaf for ingredients, it pays for itself within a few months.***************************December 24, 2013Breadmaker stopped kneading/working and emitted burnt electronics smells. Here it is, Christmas Eve, and I have another piece of worthless Cuisinart junk although I used to swear by this brand. I had to buy a $20. replacement bin a few months earlier because that had fallen apart as well.I made about 2 loaves a month with this breadmaker, so it sure wasn't overworked.It hardly survived to the two year mark and that seems wrong to me because this product was not cheap and I took good care of it.I am done with Cuisinart.

Question: What is the door rack made out of?

Over the years one thing is sure about closet hardware. There are a few good solutions and a whole lot of bad ones out there. Fortunately this Oxo door rack is one of the good ones. This stainless steel bodied rack measures in at 3.6" x 19.2" x 10.6" and features five padded hooks. Scuffing is zilch because this flex fit rack is outfitted with silicone contact points. Unlike other over the door racks that I've purchased, this product does not slide and bang against the door. Thanks to the padded hooks, I've had absolutely no problems with garments or hats slipping off and falling to the floor. Unlike the cheapies out there, I've had no issues with opening or closing the closet door. This Oxo product is a welcome closet tool that I use and can easily recommend.

Question: How do they get the lids clean?

If you are looking to make the healthy switch from plastic storage containers to glass, then I would recommend this set. I had bought a few rubbermaid glass bowls at the store to try them out. The ones I bought at the store have a removable gasket. I thought this set from Amazon did too, but they don't. It's all one piece, and easier to clean than the ones with the gasket. I actually think the one piece might have a tighter seal. I love the way these things stack in the refrigerator. I hand wash my lids so I can't' tell you how they do in the dishwasher. I've tried other glass storage container sets, and to me Rubbermaid makes the tightest seal.

Question: Why are the prices a little bit higher on these items?

I wish I could give this pan a better review however, the one I received did not come properly "Pre-Seasoned." I can detect rust underneath which was not cleaned off prior to factory seasoning. Some of the rust is alredy surfacing. I will have to remove the old seasoning and rust and then properly season before actually using it. I have noticed that Lodge is not pre-seasoning their products as well as they used to. The last three items I purchased via AMAZON have the same problem. AMAZON should contact Lodge regarding this continuing trend. I suggest anyone interested in purchasing any of the Lodge line of products to consider the aforementioned first. One reason Lodge pre-seasoned products are higher is becasue they are supposed to be pre-seasoned and ready for immediate use.

Answer: becasue they are supposed to be pre-seasoned

Question: How long have you been using OXO Pop Canisters?

I've been using OXO Pop Canisters for quite a while. I store anything and everything in them; sugar, flour, rice, nuts, pasta, coffee, tea bags and my favoriteBelly Flops. The canisters are easy to clean since they are dishwasher safe, easy to use (especially one handed), they keep items fresh and they come in several assorted sizes in both round, rectangle and square shapes. I do have to admit that at first I was turned off by the pricing so I originally bought a single canister, but then.....I was hooked. These are a great purchase if you are looking to organize more and they would also make a great holiday or housewarming gift.

Question: How many tablespoons of water can get trapped in the lip?

This isn't the first product that I've purchased based on the strenght of Amazon reviews, but it is the most "gimmicky." But on the slim chance that it could work, I was willing to give it a go because I absolutely loathe cooking pasta. Now don't get me wrong...I love to eat it...it's the cooking that I can't stand. The constant wait and taste, wait and taste, wait and taste...and then I invariably wait too long and end up with mush. Ack! I dreamed of something that I could just set into motion, put some sauce on low, then pick up around the house or get a little work done in the office until it was time to eat. Now I have my wish. Pasta is now so convenient that I'm experimenting with my own sauces, trying some new recipes, and just looking forward to cooking with it. My only complaint about the product, and it's a minor one, is that the strainer isn't as efficient as it could be. Because of the design of the lid, a bit of water gets easily trapped at the bottom of the strainer and can't exit because it's either hung up around the lip of the lid and clinging to dear life or because it can't reach the first slot in order to exit. As a result, you get about two tablespoons or so of water if you dump directly to your plate. If you're like me and don't like the excess water, a quick drop in a colander does the trick.

Question: Who would this be a perfect gift for?

This is an ideal gift for hosts of wine and/or cheese tastings where the theme is predominately French. It's also a great way to identify bottles of French wines at tastings (unless they are blind tastings of course.)What I love is the attractive gift packaging. It's simple, classy actually, and even comes with a bow - all you need is to sign it.The stopper itself fits a variety of bottles and is designed to provide a tight seal on practically any bottle from 750ml to 1.5 liters. Possibly larger bottles too. I have not tried it on the 375ml bottles so cannot guarantee that the stopper will work with those.In addition to being an ideal gift to hosts, this stopper would also make a great prize for guests who correctly identify wines or cheeses in blind tests. And, of course, it makes a perfect gift for bottle stopper collectors.

Question: The Nutribullet 600 and 900 watt models are how much more expensive than other blenders?

I tried the Nutribullet 600 and 900 watt models, and although they are powerful and make great smoothies, they are 5 to 8 times more expensive than this little guy, which works just fine. It makes very little noise, so that you could use it early in the morning and not worry about waking others. It is all self contained, so you just take the drink container with you and off you go. Only one item to clean, it couldn't be easier. It also comes with a 1 year warranty. Heck, for 15 bucks, how can you go wrong. Try it! I use ground flax seeds, yogurt, protein powder, frozen fruit (although partially frozen is better and same goes for the more powerful Nutribullet), crushed ice, spinach, and kale, any variation of those. It pulverizes it perfectly. Don't waste 100.00 or more on these Nutribullets or more expensive blenders just for single serve use. This is perfect. You will love it!!

Question: How did the product look upon arrival?

Purchased it based on the Cooks Illustrated Kitchen testing lab! OMG, everything they said and MORE!!! this specific 3 speed blender does it all. AND the storage bag which I kinda dismissed is actually awesome!! This seller didn't pkg it that great, but, honestly it arrived unscathed and not even a package dent. I will order again from them.

Question: What price did they originally get theirs?

I will start by saying that I purchased these for $99 not the $95.99 they are currently listed for. WHAAATTT??? Philyodaddy never gets conned like that!Here is a ranked order of things I look for in a Knife Set:1) Sharp as hell2) Sharp as hell3) Sharp as hell4) looks prettyThat is the entire list. I am not nearly proficient enough in the kitchen to have other requirements. The knives are sharp as hell. They cut the crap out of stuff. I enjoy showing off their sharpness to amazed visitors (more realistically, I just show my girlfriend over and over again). Look how easy it is to cut through lemons! You try! Case closed. They are also a pretty good looking knife set. I'm not sure I needed 18 knives, because I only know what about 8 of them do, but it is impressive looking and really makes people know that I'm the boss.I purchased them about 1 month ago, so I cannot objectively weigh in on the rust-issue (I have none at this point). Therefore my only real con at this point is that this point is that the block is really big and awkwardly fits in my small New York City kitchen. Please note the massive size before you follow me to sharpcity.Update 11/15/13 - I can now objectively weigh in on the rust-issue. Non-factor. That is all.

Question: How many people were camping?

with 3-4 folks camping, i struggled with 4qt vs 6qt. The 6qt 12in is pretty heavy but is perfect size for our campouts. The 4qt/10in would have been too small. The instruction book and recipe book were excellent in getting us started. The lid that holds charcoals is a must since most recipes call for coals to be on the top and the rim around the lid ensures easy placement. One thing they do to help you get consistent results is to use regular charcoal briquettes, this made our first few tries successful. Lodge Logic quality speaks for itself.

Question: What additional product pictured in the ad does the author not own?

I read the dimensions for this and I thought it would be perfect. It's my fault I want it to be a tad bigger, but I just do. Maybe just a half an inch or inch larger in either direction, and it would be perfect, but don't get me wrong this is a good little griddle. I've cooked steaks, pork chops, bacon and eggs, etc on this and it works very well. Yet, I brought this primarily for breakfast and it's hard to fit 3 thick slices of bacon and two eggs on there. I can make it work, but I don't have the egg shaper pictured in the advert. Who knows maybe I'll get that one day, but without it is hard to get everything on there without stuff running into each other. Again though, this is a great personal griddle that will fit in any cabinet and the price makes it worth it. I'll probably get a bigger one, but for now I'm satisfied with what I got. Just be sure you clearly understand that the dimensions of the grill are exactly what they say, so if you want something bigger then don't buy this grill.

Question: What other instrument did the reviewer require with different products?

I honestly was very skeptical about this product, I've just heard similar claims for other products that barely made a difference. I don't like "upgrading" something I already have if it isn't worth it. However, I saw this had good reviews so I put it on my "Christmas list" and someone bought it for me. And to my delight, it actually worked. It scrapped the sides wonderfully. Normally when making icings or batters I would have to stop the machine, find my spatula and push the sides down, and even then some parts may mess up because it didn't blend correctly. But not with this. I just add what needs to be mixed continuously.

Question: What material is the new oven mitt?

I bought a pair of these silicone oven mitts to replace an old, warn out pair of fabric ones. These mitts are okay. They are very good for being "grippy" of hot cookie sheets. The only negatives for me are that the thumbs sometimes get into the food on the cookie tray when I take stuff out of the oven. The thumbs are a little stiffer than I am used to with the old fabric ones, and they stick out a little more. The mitts are kind of expensive too. I haven't tried to clean them yet, so I'm not sure how they stack up there.Definitely good and "grippy", if that is what you are looking for.

Question: How long have I had the cutting board?

I read the previous review about warping and bought the tray anyways. When I received the cutting board, it was perfectly level. I've had this for 5 months. After about two months of daily use, the crumb tray started to warp a little (not the slatted cutting board). I am very careful. I do not soak the pieces in water. I only rinse and towel-dry to clean the pieces because they are only used for bread (and this only happens sporadically because I usually just dump the crumbs). I stopped making bread for the last 2 months and tucked the board away in a cupboard. When I pulled the board out several days ago, the warping is even much more obvious. The corner is now raised about 1/2 inch from the counter. But, other than the warping of the tray, I would have given a 5-star rating. The size is great. It can hold two loaves of bread (about 7 inch in diameter, each), or one good sized loaf. The cutting board works fantastic as a cooling rack for hot bread. The tray catches the crumbs and leaves the kitchen counter so much cleaner than if you were to use a regular cutting board. There is also enough space between the edge of the cutting board and the crumb tray where I can store my bread knife a little more securely (rather than leaving the knife to lay on the counter or on the board), and keep the knife close for another quick slice of yummy bread!

There is also enough space between the edge of the cutting board and the crumb tray where I can store my bread knife a little more securely (rather than leaving the knife to lay on the counter or on the board), and keep the knife close for another quick slice of yummy bread!


Question: What is he used to cooking over?

I bought this rice cooker not really knowing what to expect. I've been cooking rice on the stovetop for over 40 years but since we moved to a different state I can't seem to get it just right so I figured I'd try "the modern way". No matter what I do (add less rice, or more water) I still have burned rice when the cook cycle ends. I immediately unplug the machine and remove the inner cooking bowl and don't use the "warmer" but the rice is till burned at the bottom. Since it's only burned at the very bottom I toss it out and can eat the rest, but this is a waste of rice. Seems there must be a better cooker out there.

Question: What color are the pumps?

I have two Umbra penguin soap pumps at the kitchen sink - one for soap and the other for lotion. They have been in frequent use for a couple of years with never a clog or a drip! Both of mine are black, so I use different colors of soap & lotion so that no one gets confused. I like that I can see the fill level through the front, so I don't risk finding the container empty when I need it most. It is easy to press on the top with my clean wrist or the back of my hand, so I never have to touch the dispenser with dirty or greasy fingers - this means the dispensers still look good after all this time. The (black) case cover unscrews from a clear, wide-mouth container, so it is super easy to refill. I had a chrome caddy that grapefruit scented soap & lotion came in, and the Umbra dispensers fit perfectly into that caddy. This purchase has worked out really well for me. An easy 5 stars.

Question: Where was this going to be located?

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: What is the BTU of the first model?

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

Question: where did corrosion take place?

We purchased this water kettle to replace an old plastic version that had stopped shutting off when the water boiled. Like so many others, I wanted to get away from plastic for something we use so often to heat water. Initially it appeared well built and heated water quickly with no impact on the taste of the water. Everything was great. Well, 8 months in, the kettle stopped turning off when the water boiled. Unacceptable. That is the reason for 1 star. There were other minor points of concern. The joint between the plastic base and the metal had started to corrode. I can't say if it would fail but it looked bad. Finally, the highly polished finish shows every mark or smudge. sadly, in less than a year, i purchased another kettle.

Question: What is a  use of the mini bowl attachment?

I've gone through several food processors in the past few years, and this is by far the best I have ever used. The 12 cup capacity is the perfect size in my opinion: it's large enough to puree large batches of soups, but small enough to be practical to mince up a few cloves of garlic (especially with the mini bowl attachment).I haven't found anything this device can't do. I've liquefied onions for sauces, pureed soups, made doughs, etc, and this thing has taken care of them all. The only downside is that this base of the device is pretty darn hefty...but of course it probably has to be to house a motor this powerful. I used to drag it out of the cabinets each time I needed it, but now I just keep it out on my counter--it's pretty enough to be on display, and useful enough to make its presence there practical.

Question: What type of temperature change has recently occurred where the person lives?

With a recent downturn in the temperatures up here in the Pacific NW, I needed an extra "layer" -- saw this, read the reviews, and ordered it.Very happy with this! It's super soft, very warm, not too heavy, and doesn't slip around. I ordered the "sage" color -- it's a soft almost neutral sage/olive green that works well in a lot of palettes.I've washed it once, and put it through the dryer. It did produce significant amount of "fuzz," but most of it remained in the dryer on the filter, and I haven't noticed much on the bed.I definitely would purchase this again.

Question: What is the only problem with this vacuum?

The vacuum has excellent suction and the flip out extension reaches narrow spots like the space between the accelerator and transmission tunnel in my Civic. Weight is not a problem and as expected given the power. Good idea to empty filter if using more than 3-4 minutes at a time. The only potential problem I see is the so called "memory effect" where repeated charging following only partial discharging causes the battery to remember the smaller charge. It isn't clear to me that the automatic charger avoids this problem; that's the reason for 4 stars. I'd buy it again.

Question: How tall are the drawers?

I moved into an apartment that has no drawer space in the bathroom so I've been grabbing little organizers to make life easier.This one is great. The metal seems very sturdy. Its attractive and it has 6 separate sections to put stuff in. I use it for manicure stuff same as the picture.As another reviewer said, the picture looks to have tall bottles in it, but thats a little misleading. Its only 2 inches tall so standing big bottles/long brushes doesn't work well. I have to put the nail polish remover laying on its side in the large compartment.

Question: Is it hard to get the cubes out of the tray?

I bought these ice cube trays for making baby food. It's excellent for that purpose. Each cube is 1 oz, so it's easy to know how much food my baby is consuming. In addition, the cubes fit nice inside a standard size baby food jar, meaning I can defrost the food in a few existing baby food jars I own.In general, the shape of the cubes is pleasing. As others have mentioned, it's harder to get the cubes out of the try. I end up removing them one or two at a time. We have an icemaker. If I was constantly using ice on a daily basis, I think I'd find this very irritating and buy a plastic rather than rubber ice cube tray. However, if you want to be able to remove one or two cubes without making an icy mess, this style has its benefits.

Question: What kind of tub does the reviewer mention they have?

I bought this basket a few months ago, and it's great! I have my shaving cream and shaver; a small bottle each of shampoo, conditioner and body wash; my scrubbie pouf, and my foot brush and file all in one place now, and out of the way instead of sitting in all the corners of my big Roman soaking tub. Have had no problems with the suction cups slipping at all. Great product.Update: I've had this product on the wall in my bathtub area for well over a year now and the suction cups are still rock solid. Best I've ever seen; highly recommend.

Question: What is easy to clean out and change?

I have toddler twins and for months have been picking up food remnants by hand or lugging out the huge Bissel vacuum to clean up after their food throwing shenanigans.This product has changed my life. It picks up pieces the size of a tortilla chip or smaller, which is pretty much all of the debris that clutter my flooring. It makes cleanup a breeze after mealtime, when my kids show off their "throwing bean" skills and manage to turn dinner into an olympic sport. My daughter is slightly afraid of this Dustbuster so when she is acting up we chase her with it.I wish this Dustbuster had an attachment to get to those hard-to-reach places, but otherwise I think it does a fabulous job. It is easy to clean out and change the filter. Luckily a charge lasts a week if you use it for a minute at a time.

Question: What cleaning liquid does the reviewer use with the mop?

This is a great little steam mop -- perfect for the kitchen. We have stone tiles in the kitchen and I've been finding it hard to clean lately. I don't like using a lot of chemicals, so I've been boiling water and using that as mop water. This is perfect -- saves me a step and works twice as well! The cord is really short, so I have to unplug it and re-plug it in 3 times in order to do the whole kitchen, but that's really my only complaint. I also wish there was another cloth that came with it so I would always have one ready when the other one is in the wash. Quick to heat up and quick to dry as well. Really enjoying this product!

I don't like using a lot of chemicals, so I've been <hl> boiling water <hl> and using that as mop water. This is perfect -- saves me a step and works twice as well! The cord is really short, so I have to unplug it and re-plug it in 3 times in order to do the whole kitchen, but that's really my only complaint.
