Question: What does the author want to accomplish with the drain?

I didn't notice when I signed the lease on my new apartment that there was no plug in the bathtub drain. Not a problem, I thought, I'll just buy something to keep the soap and hair from clogging the pipes. Well, after trying a flat disc (it just flipped sideways), the white rubber hat style (what a joke), the stick-on type drain cover (which stuck on so well I still can't get the residue off) and a "stainless" mesh strainer (which rusted and looked disgusting) --- this RSVP Endurance Set of 2 Strainers was worth the money spent! The larger one fits perfectly in the bathtub drain and actually works. It's easy to clean out too. I put the smaller one in the kitchen sink on the side that does not have the disposal and I can still fit the stopper on top of it if I want to fill the sink. Should have bought this set the first time. Live and learn.

Question: How tall is is when it's folded flat?

This is a solid and well-constructed ironing board. The best part about it is that the wide end is wider than your average ironing board which makes it nice ironing for men's shirts. When it's folded flat, it is shorter than an average bar by a good foot; it's a little thicker by about two inches. It has a heavy feel and definitely is more stable than my old ironing board. There are a few moving parts and that concerns me a bit for the long haul, but the workmanship looks good, so it will probably be OK. The front leg has a button you push to collapse it and it's a bit of a trick to press that at just the right time when closing the board so as not to nick your finger. I still rate it very high for an ironing board and definitely recommend it.

Question: What kind if dinnerware did the user already own?

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 extras does the machine come with?

I sure hope it lasts though! There been alot of comments that these frothers break down after a short while or straight out of the box. My friend bought the capresso machine and it didnt work out of the box so it was returned. This one works beautifully do far, I love the feel of the machine. It feels like ceramic sorta, it has a nice weight to it. Love the design. I hope it lasts even though it has a warranty I'm assuming because we really enjoy this little machine. The little circle ball you see is a storage area for the one whisk your not using, it's a very cute design touch. This comes with 2 whisks but the little circle seems to fit one only, I guess you keep the other on the machine because your using it. Well I can't say enough about how great this machine is so far. I hope it lasts past the warranty which should be about a year I imagine.

Question: how many of the product did the writer buy?

Bought 2 of these. Love them. Very sturdy and easy to put together. I have one on each side of the closet - one for me and one for hubby. Have plenty of room for clothes and have them expanded out pretty far. I put the bars where recommended and our shirts (top bar) do hang over the pants on the bottom but it's really no big deal. As for the pants, they are fine and up off the floor when folded normally over the hanger. The price does seem to have gone up significantly since I bought mine, but these shelves are worth the money.

Question: How long does it take to put together

I got this beautiful wine rack to store both wine for my wife and corked beers for me. The large rack holds a huge number of bottles that allows us to store up to 56 of our favorites at any one time. The wood is beautiful and eye catching. The style is simple, but modern. It took just about 30 minutes to put it together, and the instructions were simple but effective. The rack is of solid build and seems to be something that will last for several decades. I'm not worried at all about filling it up, the rack is heavy duty enough to be able to hold all 56 bottles it's designed to hold. If you're looking for a good sized wine rack that is functional and beautiful then look no further than this gem.

Question: What does the writer use to clean the inside of the burr grinder?

This is my first burr grinder, so I really have no comparison, but still I'll share my experience.I bought this grinder because my old blade grinder died and I like my coffee. All the coffee snob websites (yes, I'm a coffee snob) say that burr grinding is the way to go because blade grinders heat the beans while grinding and this affects the taste. So, since the old one died, I decided to try the burr. Plus, I use a french press at times, so I wanted to be able to grind coarsely to minimize the sludginess in the bottom of my cup (not that I mind it terribly).So, I started using this on coarse setting for my french press. My experience with the coffee, though, was that my sludge factor wasn't lessened over my blade grinder, which I surmise to mean that I'm not getting consistent particle size (still generating fines on coarse setting). Further, I can't taste the difference between burr grinded coffee and blade grinded coffee. So, take that for what it's worth.The unit is messy. Coffee sticks in the bottom bin because of static, which isn't a huge deal, but the discharge from the machine to the bin also contains coffee which falls out on the counter when you remove the plastic bin. cleanup is sort of a pain inside the grinder itself. They say to wipe with a damp cloth and they give you a little brush to brush the little gears. You need a brush with coarser bristles to really get the coffee out, and still, there are remnants of coffee in there that I just can't get out. Maybe I'm overly concerned about cleanliness, but it bothers me.This thing is next to worthless for finer grinds (I'd say anything significantly shy of 25%, towards the fine end). The beans seem to just cease entering the grinder periodically. Then you have to turn it off, unplug it, remove the bottom bin and dump out the beans and put them back in again (or shake the unit) to get it to start grinding again. The beans come out looking pretty finely ground, but it's just aggravating trying to get it to grind the whole batch. This happens on almost every grind on the fine setting and even periodically on the coarser settings...which makes the preset for the amount of coffee (take note, 1 cup = 1.5 tbsp coffee) pointless, because you have to turn it off in the middle to clear the jam.I know you get what you pay for and this is really far down on the price scale for burr grinders. Still, I would expect it to work over it's full range of operations.If you really want a burr grinder, you probably need to invest in a better model (if you want fine grind, at least). But honestly, for just everyday coffee grinding for a normal drip pot (or even a french press) the blade grinders available for half the price seem to perform just as well as this and the cleanup is far easier.

Question: what kind of diet is the writer on?

I tortured myself with research on which pressure cooker I should buy and the Fagor Duo came out on on near the top in many reviews. New to pressure cooking, but with it's expansive instruction and recipe booklets - I am very happy with this product. The quality construction and ease of use are exactly what I was looking for.I eat a plant-based diet, which means I cook a lot of rice, grains, beans and vegetables. Pinto beans in three easy minutes?? Thank you! Any blips so far have been a result of my own learning curve. If you're looking for a good stainless pressure cooker in a reasonable size, this is it!

Question: What size canning jars did this person purchase?

I purchased quart size canning jars this year for the purpose of storing dry goods and leftovers and an attempt to avoid so much plastic in my life. I literally stumbled across this jar sealer when I was looking for the reusable plastic lids for the jars.This is so great! I just tried it for the first time and I can see I'll be using this a lot. i made Mason Jar Salads this summer but didn't think the salads really held up all that well for several days but I think this jar sealer will definitely change that.I've always kept my FoodSaver in a cupboard but it may very well be elevated to the counter top now that I've found the jar sealer.

Question: What ruins the rack?

I like the design of the rack, it takes up a small amount of space in my cupboard, but the lids just ruin this item. They are plastic. Not a medium-weight or heavy plastic like you would find on a spice jar you buy in the grocery store (example: McCormick's) but a really light-weight plastic that you would find on a cheap toy bought at the dollar store. I don't think it will be long before they start cracking. You have to be careful when screwing them on so you don't catch the threads wrong and break one. I don't feel the seal is good either.I saw another vendor on Amazon selling just the rack, think it was around fifteen dollars. If I had to do it over, I would just buy the rack, then order 18 bottles separately (Penzey's sells ones with sturdier plastic lids for less than a buck each) and I'd put this spice rack together myself for ~the same price. Also for the price of this set I really feel they should have included labels. Would not recommend.

Question: For what items does the blender not work well?

I bought this hunk of junk years ago and I can't believe it is still being sold! It is junk! I had a cheap oster years ago that did a better job. It locks up. It doesn't blend well. It is noisy. It leaks. It runs hot. It smells like burned rubber. It is useless with ice or frozen fruit. I actually have to open it and stir any thick liquids. And to top it all off, it is nearly impossible to pour anything out of it without spilling it everywhere. I bought this blender because I loved my Cuisinart food processor and the brand used to be known for quality and their products were always used on the cooking shows. Now all of the cooking shows seem to have switched to Kitchenaid and now I know why.

Question: what product is the writer reviewing?

These are absolutely terrible pillows for side sleepers, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone (unless they're looking for a very flat pillow with very little shape retention and virtually no support). Within the first week of using them, I dragged my old pillow out of the garage because it was preferable. My husband continued to use his for a week or two more, despite the fact that he complained about how flat and uncomfortable it was on a nightly basis.If those problems weren't bad enough, it's almost as if your head slides around when you're trying to sleep on one. I know that doesn't seem to make much sense, but if you put some pillow stuffing in a plastic bag & then covered that bag with a pillowcase, it'd have roughly the same effect (without the noise, of course).All in all, these pillows were a total waste of money, and I couldn't have been more disappointed with the purchase. Both eventually ended up in the trash because they weren't fluffy enough to put in shams or nice enough to use for guests.

I know that doesn't seem to make much sense, but if you put some pillow stuffing in a plastic bag & then covered that bag with a pillowcase, it'd have roughly the same effect (without the noise, of course).All in all, these pillows were a total waste of money, and I couldn't have been more disappointed with the purchase. Both eventually ended up in the trash because they weren't fluffy enough to put in shams or nice enough to use for guests.

These are absolutely terrible <hl> pillows <hl> for side sleepers, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone (unless they're looking for a very flat pillow with very little shape retention and virtually no support). Within the first week of using them, I dragged my old pillow out of the garage because it was preferable.

Question: What can the product puree?

I love this appliance! This one is corded, and if I were to replace it, I might get a cordless... but this one shows no signs of "getting tired" and I use it a lot. I love the extra accessories. It makes delectable mayonnaise - healthy! And does a fine job for pureeing soups or making really creamy mashed taters (or other veggies).

Question: What should you push through the cork?

Was given the Cork Remover as a gift. What a terrific gift it is. Was very worried when the air ran out on the original but was thrilled to see you could get replacements. Installation couldn't have been easier! One does have to get used to it. The cork pop can be a surprise, and one must exert some force to remove the cork afterward. But how cool it is! So EASY and quick. A twist of the wrist removes the wrap at top of bottle. Push the needle down through the cork. Press the canister with your thumb, and POP! Cork out.Great product!

Answer: needle

Push the needle down through the cork.

Question: How quickly does this microwave work?

The iWavecube microwave doesn't look like your typical microwave. My friends and co-workers have all found the need to check mine out. It is small and doesn't take up much space and it looks "space-aged" according to a couple people.I've nuked a few things in it including popcorn, sandwiches and soup and everything turned out just perfect. Since this unit isn't as powerful as full size microwaves it takes a little longer to do some jobs, but the space saving design is perfect for offices, dorms, or any other small spaces where a full size microwave isn't possible.Try it out, you won't be disappointed. Just be prepared for all the attention it draws.

Question: What needs to be experimented with?

I've had my original Panasonic Flash Xpress since 2003. I've been wanting to replace it because it was looking pretty bad due to the heavy use - but it still works great. I was so happy to find out they were finally selling this oven again! The price was kind of steep, so I waited. Finally they dropped it to $99 and I had a $10 coupon. I snapped it up. I can't say enough good things about it. It is great for our needs. I can see that it might be a little small for folks wanting to cook larger items - but it works great for our purposes. Makes wonderful baked potatoes, toast, bagels, waffles, fries, chicken nuggets, hash browns, great for roasting hot dogs or sausages, chicken breast, steak - really anything you want to try. It gets hot fast. No preheating. You will have to experiment with the temperature and time settings because it is not the same as a conventional oven or even a regular toaster oven. One note - the rack does not look like the one in the picture. It does not have the squiggly bars or the cross pieces, but only straight bars and no cross-pieces, just like the old one.

Question: Will i need to buy a larger pan for the 18 by 13 mats?

The product listed as 16 1/2 x 11 5/8, but I recieved 18 x 13 mats. Sort of a double edged sword as the larger mats mean I got a slightly better deal than already outstanding price advertized, however, as a result I had to purchase larger "commercial" sized jelly roll pans (difficult to find 18 x 13 cookie sheets).I'd recommend these to anyone who's sick of tracking down parchment paper, or wants a great buy on a great nonstick baking mat. They list as being effective from -40F to +560F and reusable 3000 times, so you can use them in the freezer, to bake roasts on, cookies...about everything.

Question: Which brand is highly rated as compact and affordable?

When it has came down to microwave ovens, it really is hard to deeply find one that can be compact and affordable. While more of them are being made to be bigger, they aren't definitely worth the convience of the money you spend for them. Fortunately, there are a few brands that do deliver nicely for their value, and Sharp is one of those brans. That does come well with their R-230KW model. It is a simple and convient way of cooking all your favorite foods from popcorn and flatbread sandwiches, all the way to chicken and fish filets. While it does handle well, there are a few problems with it. One of them is if you keep it plugged in, you'd have to first set the clock time. If you plug it in back and forth when you do use it, not keeping it in plugged in all the time, that can be a problem, but nothing to sneeze at. The second problem is that there is a problem with re-heating as its function. It isn't good for re-heating fast foods like pizza, but great for re-heating chinese foods that you order from take-out.Still, despite a few flaws, Sharp still knows why they make great microwave ovens, and their R-230KW is definitely worth its money. There aren't many microwaves that are worth their effort these days, but Sharp does have a high note on the art of cooking. If you are looking for a inexpensive microwave that can be convient for the everyday home owner, than this one is definitely for you.Price: BConvience: BEasy To Setup: B-Overall: B 1/2-

Question: how long have they been grinding coffee

Having ground coffee for over 40 years, this is one of the best. Does the job just fine. Is easily adjustable. Can clean burrs with relative ease. Not too loud. Probably as silent as practicable, given the task. My only concern is the electronics. What happens if they go? How much to repair? At $200 a pop, you simply don't throw it out. At least, I don't.Update: This grinder is under powered. I returned the first one because it regularly needed to be thoroughly cleaned out before it would work again. What is regularly? How about every few days or after 3 or four grinds. The second one is now doing the same thing only worse. Looks nice but ................Breville also gave me a hard time about returning it the first time until I became very firm. When you speak to a rep, they tell you what to do to make the grinder work. I can always get the grinder to work today after I clean it but tomorrow is the question. Do you use oily beans, they ask? What difference should that make to a $200 grinder? Those beans never bothered my Braun or Kitchen Aide burr machines. Bottom line, this is a very pretty grinder that's over priced and under powered.

Question: When did I buy the toaster?

I like this toaster. Much of what others have said is true though. It doesn't brown that evenly... and so on. Still it might be the only LONG and WIDE slot toaster available at a reasonable price. I mostly toast long slices of sour dough bread. True, it sometimes burns at the ends but you get what you pay for. I bought mine at Target 5 years ago and it's still going strong. The down-catch got sticky and I started looking for a new toaster, so I'm glad I found this offering to have my positive say. BTW, the catch freed up and is fine now.

Question: How is the feeling of the towel?

First, just considering this towel set as a towel set, it has to be one of the best I have ever encountered. The bath towel is silky and absorbent and only gets better with laundering. Ditto for the hand towel and wash cloth. I have never encountered a set that I like better, even in upscale hotels. In fact I would be delighted to have a bath robe made out of this toweling fabric.Why only four stars though? My thrifty self balks at the MSRP. Even with the generous Amazon discount I would have to be feeling particularly flush to buy myself another set.Great towels, maybe the manufacturer should consider adjusting the price.

Question: What towel set did the user purchase?

I felt as if I was wrapping myself in a blanket when I walked out of the shower! I had no idea that my towels were so bad, until I tried these towels. They are a generous size and thick. My children even noticed the difference. They are also very absorbent. It was a quick dry after I came out of the shower, but I didn't want to take my towel off! The only problem (and I wouldn't even call it a problem.) is that they are so thick and heavy it was difficult to wrap around my head. Not a problem I also purchased the 600 GSM towel set and those are perfect for my hair. These are worth the price and much more.

Question: What kind of opener is it?

I watched the video that was submitted by a purchases/user which convinced me to buy this opener. I thanked that person because this opener is AWESOME! Not only is it the SAFEST opener I've ever used but fast, clean and quieter. It cuts the top under the lip of your cans so there are never any sharp edges to cut yourself on and it also prevents drips so no cleanup required. How I've done without this wonderful opener all these years... tsk tsk... a shame. I'm a very happy customer and I'm confident raving about this fantastic Can Opener!

Question: What issues was the reviewer having with thier closet?

I have one tiny closet to hold my vacuum, ironing board, cleaning chemicals, and all the things needed to clean my house and the things in it, We were really having issues with the closet getting over-crowded and things falling on top of each other, and this was one of the things we bought to try to organize it. After having had it now for almost a year, I can say it's been very helpful. The ironing board, iron, and related products are out of the way from all of the other items in the closet, extending only a few inches from the door, but very accessible when time to use them. Recommended!

Question: How long did it take for the carpet to dry with the new one?

Let's say carpet cleaning is NO my big thrill in life. I purchases a similar Eureka model. It was a bit more than the Eureka, but well worth every penny. I has a separate load for the soap, you fill with your own warm water in a nice large tank so you don't have to stop every 5 minutes and load. This permits you not only to clean the carpet, but rinse it so you don't have soap residue. It has a large easy to remove collection tank, easy to dump. It picked up three times the moisture from the carpet than the Eureka. When I cleaned with Eureka it took days for the carpet to be dry. With the Hoover the next day it was completely dry.It was easy to push. I could clean a room in a matter of a few minutes. It promises deep cleans and it delivers. So forget about renting those back-breaking cleans that are cumbersome to use. Forget wasting money on ones that don't clean good or remove water from the carpet. Spend a little more and get the RIGHT STUFF!

Spend a little more and get the RIGHT STUFF!


Question: What do they love?

I love the Magic Butter Machine. It works perfectly every time I use it. I have infused Coconut Oil and made Butter and was very happy with the results. When you strain the oil/butter, I recommend using good quality cheesecloth and RSVP Endurance Conical Strainer, 5"Sold by River Road here on Amazon. I pour into the strainer and let it drip/flow into the cheesecloth. This strains the herb out and makes very clear oil/butter. When I had a question, I called the Magical Butter phone# on their web site and they had excellent customer service. The machine works great and the company really is there to help you if you have questions. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

Question: how does the product look like?

First of all, this is exactly what I was looking for as far as asthetics go. It looks naturally aged. But...I wish it were a better opener. It does open bottles but you have to really snug it up against the top of the opener. Sometimes more than once. I don't know what's so hard about recreating a bottle opener that has been a standard for so long.

Question: What is the original brand?

I attempted to screw this into a glass base and it wouldn't screw all the way down tight. Instead there was a gap where if you shook the glass with base, the metal blades would clang around. It has to be tight in order for the gasket to seal the liquids in the glass container. My first (and last) attempt in blenderizing with this product resulted in liquid squirting from the base all over the blender and counter top.This is a knock-off of the original Osterizer part. I thought it was an authentic Oster part when I placed my purchase. I should become policy of Amazon to demand knock-off information on the product page as a warning.I am learning that you must be very careful when you purchase anything on Amazon. It has cost me a lot to have my head in the sand about these things.

Question: What does the writer expect the manufacturer to do if a big version of the silicone roasting rack is made?

A silicone roasting rack is a great idea and much needed, given that most "non-stick" roasting racks are anything but. However, this version is not well executed. It is way too small to have much utility. You can get a single small pork roast on it, but that's about it. You won't be using this for baking poultry pieces, pork chops, etc., and don't even think you could put a turkey on it. Somebody needs to take this idea and make a big version of it. They would sell a million of them.

Answer: sell a million of them

Question: What does the writer like the pot the most?

I like this kettle, even with its minor flaws. I have very small hands, so its easy for me to clean. However, I'm the only one in my household who can get their hands inside this pot. The lid must be removed to pour. Yes, really. Very klutzy person here, and I'm afraid of having issues removing said lid to pour boiling water, so the lid just gets set on, not pushed in. My favorite thing about this pot is that it's glass, and I can see when the water is at the proper temp, just at the beginning of boil. It also doesnt seem to attract build up as quickly either.

Question: What happens if the chillsner is inserted too quickly into the beer?

We have a small refrigerator that is packed with tons of crap for us and the kids. I don't always have the room to store lots of beers in there, so sometimes I will find myself with friends over and no cold beers. The Chillsner solves that problem. I keep them in the freezer and they do work well to make a beer cold and drinkable. It is not going to be ice cold, like it would out of a cooler at a bar, but definitely cold enough to enjoy a beer.You just freeze the chillsner, take it out of the freezer, pop it in the beer (press it in firmly) and you can drink beer right through the chillsner as the beer flows out the top of it. It keeps your beer perfectly cold. It's nice that it comes in a 2 pack as my husband and I have both used it at outdoor parties this year. We actually have four of them for us and guests. We also like the cool design. The chillsner is definitely a conversation starter at a party. People do seem to think it's cool.My one word of advice is to be careful after you take your first swig of beer. The directions say to take a swig of beer to make room for the chillsner and then insert it. If you take a chug and insert the chillsner too quickly it can cause your beer to overflow. So take a sip, wait a few seconds and then insert the chillsner.

Question: The author says not to wake up what?

Unless it's impossible to figure out the equation- that'd be up to the great mathematicians and scientists to discover! This drinking glass is perfect for all the dorky, uncool cup drinkers out there... of which I may categorize myself as! Nah I'm not one of those I'm afraid- I just like drinking out of a pretty nifty cup. However it really would be interesting if these aren't just random numbers and letters around the outside of the cup and there was an actual solution that was really cleverly disguised. We can all dream that there is one, haha. A must buy for breakfast but, please, don't wake up *too* early.

Question: What would the reviewer never try to do with the immersion blender?

I was given this hand blender as a gift... It's very handy in general to have an immersion blender to make pureed soups right from the pot vs transferring the blender. I used mine for several years 4/5+ and it just didn't hold up. The plastic part will melt if you have a very hot soup and a pot with the bottom still hot. Also, the whisk attachment is not very strong. It can whip together a light batter AFTER it's been all mixed and incorporated, but it certainly cannot cream butter and sugar, and I wouldn't dream of trying to whip cream with it. I just used it again the other day, and a little piece of the plastic (which was already deformed from a past melting) broke off into my soup. Soo, now I am off to find another immersion blender. One that lasts. Get this if you only need very light use. I used it in college as it had different attachments and I didn't have a hand mixer. It's a very very basic entry level immersion blender, but if you actually want to puree some veggies into a nice soup, I'd look elsewhere, because it just WON'T last.

Question: What is attached to the wine bottle?

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: How did they describe the lock mechanism?

the fact that the bottom tends to leak. Almost every time we've used this blender, we go to pour the blended drink into a glass only to find that there's a small amount of liquid escaping through the bottom of the pitcher. This can be problematic if you aren't prepared to account for the leak. Surprisingly though, this fault in its design hasn't made the blender work any less great than it's intended to. Aside from that fault, this blender is awesome.Our last blender was glass, and that's why we decided to go with plastic. No complaints or regrets there. The lock mechanism was refreshing, compared to every other blender I've ever used; which always made me feel like I was breaking it by trying to get it to snap in place. There's none of that here. I have yet to experience any of the strange motor odors I'm used to with other blenders. The lid isn't the sturdiest, and I was initially worried that the center would not prevent leaks, but there have been no leaks through the lid and the lid seems flimsy for the sake of being easy to put on/take off. And it's perfect in that regard. Loved the speed settings, and the fact that the first setting actually works its way up to full speed instead of just hitting the ground running.It's a good blender, especially considering the price. But do watch for the leaking bottom (no pun intended).

Question: How do you turn off the heating element?

i wanted an electric kettle, but landed up ordering this as i thought this was multi-functional and could be used to boil eggs etc as well. While it is muli-functional; 2 biggest irritatiosn are:- it has to be plugged out - i cannot just press a button for it to stop heating. I literally has to be plugged out. That reduces the functionality and safety of this product. bit of an irritation in a busy kitchen.- it leaks... within one week of using it, I noticed it leaks water while boiling and also leaks if there is any water left in it... Cleaning mess adds to the list instead of reducing it...

Question: Is it a lot of work?

These Tortilla Bowl Makers are a Great and Healthier alternative to Frying Tortillas by Baking them in the Oven, I use Whole Wheat Tortillas and they look Terrific, sometimes I brushed them with Different Flavored Oils for a Better Tasting and Crispy Tortilla.

I Bake individual Apple Pies with Pastry Pie Dough, Apple Filing and Streusel Crumb Topping, it's a little bit of work involved, however, everyone loves getting their own little Pie.

Question: Did the two thermometers measure the same temperatures?

I bought this themometer along with a Taylor Classic to replace my old and inaccurate probe thermometers. I measured ice water and boiling water with each to check the 32 and 212 temperatures. The CDN measured 33 and 211 while the Taylor measured 36 and 190 degrees. I was able to adjust the accuracy of the Taylor some by using the hex bolt on the back but this calibration should have been done at the factory. Also since the Taylor calibratrion was off high at the low setpoint and low at the high setpoint it cant be accurate in the entire temperature range. I would give the CDN a 5 star rating except I've had poor reliability on previous digital thermometers. I'm hoping for this one to work well over time.
