Question: How long does it take to make a full pitcher?

If you are an iced tea addict too, then look no further.It does indeed require a fair amount of ice-- but let's think about why. TEA requires HOT WATER to brew. You want your tea to be iced. So you have two choices: you can brew it hot, stick it in the fridge, and wait about five days until it reaches the right temperature. OR, you can use ice.This machine proportions it all PERFECTLY. ''Weak tea'' only happens when you don't use enough teabags. I get the best results with 5 or 6 regular teabags. It takes 5-10 minutes to brew a full pitcher, which is then ready to drink right away, nice and chilled.The reason this only gets 4 stars out of 5 is because cleaning it takes a little effort. (Ridges in basked, as mentioned before.) But you don't have to do that too often.BTW, a surprisingly great tea is the decaf "Ambience" blend from... of all places... Smart & Final! This makes a PERFECT iced tea. We go through a pitcher or two a day in the summer.And for the price, it can't be beat! What else are you going to do-- use a coffeemaker? The stove? Forget it! Load up the Salton, push a button, and you're on your way.

Answer: 5-10 minutes

Question: What was the original delivery estimate for the product?

I bought one for my wife last year, now I bought one for my granddaughter. Amazon really outdid it this time. Initial message said delivery estimate of 2-8 DEC, fantastic, then a revision the next day to show 1-7...superb, but it arrived yesterday, 29th - you folks really rock! It is a quality processor and has many favorable comments from users. The same Model but in White, didn't fare so good with users comments, funny. I highly recommend this Model and Amazon handling the sale. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all.

Question: What is suggested by the author to cook spaetzle with?

For the noodle maker, this is much faster and easier than using a pasta machine. The dough is very wet, so it goes through the holes quickly and gets sliced off by the square box, and right into the boiling water or broth they go. Cook them, then dehydrate them, and store them in a jar - that's how I make them, and this tool is fun to use! Do try cooking your spaetzle in Knorr's vegetable stock - the gel in a little pot - it is so delicious!

Question: How quickly was a replacement catch sent?

1st one arrived defective -- the button would not stay down unless you pushed it off to the side or held it down. Seems like whatever the catch is that keeps it down was broken. There was no issue in getting it replaced, they sent a replacement within 2 days and it has worked perfectly from the start. You have to follow the directions before the first use, heating it on the highest heat cycle for 3 times to burn off the "new" smell and I think to help adjust the thermostat maybe. Directions also tell you where to put your toast for even heating depending on single, multiple, thick or thin slices. We find that setting 2 is fine for most toasted bread.

Question: what did they suggest to dust the mold with?

I used this mold last night for the first time, and it was extremely easy. The package recommended that I lightly dust the mold with cornstarch but I used powdered sugar instead, with great results. I used the mold to make the beads and they looked great on my cake when finished. I did learn to make sure to replace the powdered sugar dusting at least every two or three sets of packing the mold or I'd get a bit of sticking, and this was easily accomplished by using a small paint brush. I also learned to make sure that I didn't have excess fondant on the sides or back of the beads as this made the beads look a bit sloppy, but I just used a small sharp knife to cut away any excess and it only took a couple of seconds. Highly recommended.

Question: What is being used to warm the chicken during lunch break?

I wanted one of these so badly. My sister bought this for me as a gift. It is not at all easy to clean. With the first use, the silver backsplatter sheild had burned-on goodness all over it that could not be removed. Cleaning the stuff that goes inside, especially the cage that holds chicken parts, takes some skill and patience - things I don't possess in great measure. The skin of the chicken sticks to the inside. I've tried spraying it with non-stick cooking spray and it helps a little but not enough. Also, a few times the chicken that I had placed in the tray came out bad in some places. At first I thought I was being hoodwinked by the local grocer and getting bad chicken parts. I make my food to bring to work for lunch and can't have the smell of rotting chicken eminating from the microwave in my office and this seems to happen consistenly with this rotisserie. Not when I just bake the chicken in the preheated oven. Right now it's just taking up space on my table. I'm getting rid of it.

Question: What is the brand of the mixer?

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: What design perk does the cord have?

Many a vacuum cleaner has been sacrificed in my relentless battle against pet messes. With shedding dogs, long haired cats and two seed strewing cockatiels, daily vacuuming is mandatory at my house. Sadly none of the earlier combatants have been able to last against the unending barrage of hair, dander and assorted debris.Enter the Bissell. I am not mechanically inclined, but assembly was quick and easy. The suction is great and the attachments, especially the fur removal brush are terrific. Although I wish the tank had more capacity, it is fun to gauge your progress. The tank is easy to empty. I like the cord rewind feature and the vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver. There is a three year warranty.This is an affordable, effective vacuum cleaner. If it feels like you are loosing the battle against pet hair, this might just turn the tide. Recommended.

Question: How many of the KitchenAid did they purchase for gifts?

After using a Cuisinart for a year, it lost it's umph, I switched to the KitchenAid and have not regretted one moment. Not a day has gone by (O.K. maybe just a couple) without me using it multiple times. I went all-out and bought everything that went with it. I could not be happier. It cleans up great, chops evenly, grates quickly, and makes life in the kitchen heavenly. In fact, I wouldn't doubt if God uses one of these. I love it so much I have purchased 2 more as gifts. A friend of mine who does not cook is nuts over this thing. His wife has thanked me repeatedly for getting her husband into the kitchen. I guess he really likes slicing potatoes and grating cheese. My wife even sent one small but necessary piece of this down the disposal. It's a little banged up but it still works great. Seriously, order it today and you won't regret it.

Question: What size is the cup?

Use this cup at work and it is great. Keeps the drinks cold and yet keeps the outside not so it is easy to hold. It is made to fit nicely in the cup holder of your car, which is great for he drive back and forth. The lid screws on nicely and has a good seal. If you like green and need a cup to keep your drinks cold for work then this is great.My only gripe is it only came in the 16oz size only at the time of purchase. Would love to see it in a 20oz size.This item shouldn't be put in the dishwasher. It is worth it to take the extra 30 seconds to just wash and rinse it in the sink by hand.Edit: (4/19/2012)Just wanted to add this in case people are trying to decide on size. If you use those drink mixes, especially the Crystal Light packages, I would go with the 20 oz. Just easier to fill and mix with that little extra few ounces. This will work as well, but you have to fill it to the brim for the 16oz and it can make stirring a little annoying. Not a knock against the cup, just added info in case that was one of the uses.

Question: what is the model of the mixer?

It's a beater, one of the ones that normally comes with a newly purchased KitchenAid Mixer (ours was a KSM-150). My wife and lost ours a the move and opted to replace it. Sadly, it leaves a lot to be desired. Even if coated with a non-stick cooking spray, 90% of the time spent mixing, you have to stop after a few minutes to either scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula or batter spreader, un-clump the beater itself, or to a texture check to make sure that there isn't raw flour, sugar, or anything else stuck to the bottom or sides. After reading reviews, we chose this: (...) - much better!

Question: What kind of tops do the skillets come with?

I have Curculon skillets that I use on a daily basis so I was thrilled to receive this. This is a great set for anyone who is starting out or if you need to replace your old worn out ovenware.Pros-Very heavy and sturdyInexpensive when compared to sets of this quality.Glass tops ensure you can see if your water is boiling. Many sets come with solid covers and you cant see what is going on in the pan.You can go from stove to oven with each of these pots and pans.It really is non stick. I made scrambled eggs and they did NOT stick. I used nothing in the bottom of the pan.Cons-The handles can get very hot, but this is true with most pots and pans.I have a large family and the skillets are too small for us, I would recommend this for a family of 2 or 3 .Overall a great product at a fantastic price. Great shower gift, housewarming etc.

Question: What has the daughter tried?

I got this for my daughter, who is an avid tea drinker. She has tried diffusers, strainers and many other loose tea devices. All of the other products leave some level of tea leaves in the cup. With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew, there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product! Not one!The other side - cleaning. Cleaning any loose leaf/grind product can be problematic, this one is no more difficult. It is easier to clean if you let the leaves/grinds dry out before removal. If you want another cup before the residue dries, a tap or two against the trash can combined with a wipe of a paper towel, and a swish of water to rinse takes care of any leftover tea remains.Bottom line - very quick, very easy to use. No tea leaves floating around! This is a winner!

If you want another cup before the residue dries, a tap or two against the trash can combined with a wipe of a paper towel, and a swish of water to rinse takes care of any leftover tea remains. Bottom line - very quick, very easy to use. No tea leaves floating around! This is a winner!

I got this for my daughter, who is an avid tea drinker. She has tried <hl> diffusers, strainers and many other loose tea devices <hl>. All of the other products leave some level of tea leaves in the cup. With the Kuhn Rikon Single Cup Easy Brew, there was not a single tea leaf in the brewed product!

Question: How much does this mattress cost?

Five years on lesser quality mattresses of the same type overseas made me a believer in not needing a box spring. I didn't think I would find these great mattresses here in the USA. This is the absolute best and most comfortable mattress I have ever laid on, and please, do not think for a minute you need a 10,12, or 14 inch mattress of this sort. I typically used a 4 or 6 inch mattress of this type with great results in the Philippines. $250 for this, or $1,000 for a conventional mattress/box spring with equal comfort that will be loaded with dust mites in a couple years. My weight is 230 btw, it's great.About the smell, little bit, not a problem. I'm asthmatic, did not bother me.

Answer: $250

Question: What causes the thin plastic to flex?

The flimsy construction made set up a nightmare. It should have taken 10 minutes, instead it took 30. The float for the cut off switch is a flimsy plastic rod stuck in a chunk of Styrofoam. Lining it up with the switch in the top almost had me screaming in frustration, mostly due to the flimsy construction of the base. The plastic is so thin it flexes at the slightest touch, which created the following sequence: Try and put the top on the base and first one side of the base pops out, get that side in and the back pops out, get the back in and the other side pops out , get the base all lined up and on and the float rod isn't lined up with the switch, take the top off and start all over again, continue ad nauseam...Then get every thing lined up, fill with water, turn it on and find out the fan is broken, return.

Question: Why did the reviewer buy the "animal" one?

Purchased this and didn't get to use it until just before Thanksgiving. Have loved it ever since. It is easy to move in tight areas. That's a plus because I don't have a lot of space in my dining area and always had to move the chairs into the great room. Now, I can just pull the chairs away from the table and get completely under the table. I purchased the "animal" version because I have two dogs. I can hear this Dyson sucking up grit and crumbs that they drag in through the doggie door onto my oriental rug. Plus it goes easily from the rug to the hardwood and also does a great job on the ceramic tile in the kitchen and wall to wall carpet in the bedroom. It also isn't as noisey as my other vacs. This model comes as the "animal" and regular...so if you have pets, be careful to get the "animal" version. It is worth the extra. This was the best price, even with TV shopping special value (not the animal) and department store specials. Worth every penny. Easy to use, easy to assemble, easy to push and oh, wow, the pick up of dirt and dog hair.

Question: How many more grinders did the customer order?

I read all the reviews before I purchased this but decided to try it anyway since I was throwing out herbs that would not last more than a day or so. I expected it to be difficult to assemble and disassemble. I understood that once herbs were placed in it, it needed to be frozen before use. So, I thought I really had realistic expectations. When it arrived, I was pleased that assembly and dis-assembly was much easier than I expected. I read and followed directions and it was really pretty easy. I had just purchased fresh basil a day earlier so I placed it in the grinder and placed grinder in the freezer. The directions only have one small note about it working once herbs are frozen in it. However, the box it comes in clearly indicates it as a frozen herb grinder. I used the basil again a few days later...just ground what I needed from the mill and popped it back in the freezer for the next time. It was fast, easy and perfect. The herbs thaw almost instantly once ground and exposed to air or heat of food. They looked fresh, tasted fresh and smelled fresh. This was total perfection for me. I love this mill and have just ordered 2 more. Total thumbs up for me.

Question: How long will the product run before it is full?

After moving from a semi-arid environment to the opposite ,I was unhappy with the odor in a musty basement...even though the house is only a few years old , the climate is a challenge to enclosed areas. A neighbor recommended this product; I also researched other sites and am very pleased that Amazon carried the model I wanted. The "to the door delivery" was a great help considering it is a bit heavy for me to lift, probably would be no problem for someone a bit stronger. Turned it on full power and ran it for 4 hours before it was full , emptied container, then turned it on again for another 4 hours. I repeated this for 3 days. That procedure has reduced the musty odor to nearly zero. I now run it on low for an hour or two each day. So far, I have no complaints after 2 weeks of use. I would recommend it to anyone w/the same problem.

Question: How much counter space does these people have in their living space?

we live in an apartment with limited counter space and we've recently started eating healthier. We've been including a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in our diet. This basket works perfectly to keep our fruit organized and keep a lot of the counter space clean. The spacing of the basket is small enough that it doesn't bruise our fruits and the banana hanger is perfect. The heftiness of the basket will support a good sized bunch even if there aren't loads of fruit in the basket. We tend to keep our tomatoes out on the counter so they always go on top since the fridge ruins the flavor. The item came in no time flat and it's been a wonderful addition to our tiny kitchen

Question: What do the gloves offer for storage?

first off, no heat transference at all, not even a little. However, they are very stiff which makes it hard to get a good grip on things you are pulling out of the oven. That is a pretty big deal, but you can achieve better functionality if you really cram your hands into them. I have not been brave enough to test the whole grab a cob of corn straight out of the pot of boiling water or any of those 600 degree limit testing things OXO touts, but all in all I am happy with the purchase. Not gods gift to oven mits but probably just as good as the kitchenaid ones I had before. Silicon cleans up nicely and it has magnets hidden on the back so they stick to the fridge...very cool.

Question: is the product sturdy?

The price is good, but the unit is shaky and as one reviewer said, it is **smaaaall**. I can only fit Le Creuset 5qt Braiser, 5.5qt Round, 3.5qt Round Wide and that's about it. The top 3 shelves are for 8.5" and smaller pots which is pretty dang small. I can't fit my oval skillet (I hung it from a hook on the curl at the top of the rack) but no room for a 3.75qt Covered skillet. The Enclume racks are larger but 3x the price. Not sure if I will keep it since 3 shelves remain unusable for me. Too bad, the price was just right.

Question: Was calibration hard to do?

When my wife and I got more serious about getting healthy, we knew we had to throw out our inaccurate and difficult-to-read scale. I looked on Amazon and found that EatSmart scales had awesome ratings. After comparing the features, I felt the Precision Premium fit our needs.Setting it up and calibrating was simple - put the batteries in and set it on a hard surface. Batteries are included, by the way.Using it is super easy - step on the scale. That's it. In just a second, you'll have your weight. And it's really easy to read.One of the bonus features of this scale is that it looks good. So many scales just look awful in your bathroom. This one looks pretty stylish. And it has a really low profile.Definitely made the right decision with this scale.

Question: How big was the piece of paper with the instructions on it?

We received this OXO Potato Ricer last week and already have used it for riced/mashed potatoes, spaetzle, and egg salad...what fun! This is one of those items that any cook really can do without, but why not give it a try anyway! The sucker is huge, but we managed to prepare some fine eats, and it really was not that difficult to use. The ricer has long metal handles and a good-sized black plastic food-safe hopper that holds a lot of food, and the built-in pot rest worked perfectly on the side of the pan. The packaging was easy to open, which is always a good thing, and inside there was a small piece of paper (2 1/2 x 2 1/2") with instructions for use, and for cleaning. On the packaging itself was pictures of the three settings and explanations, very simple. My wife has had absolutely no problem changing the settings, removing the outer disk for cleaning (only handwashed the unit, so far), and overall she is pleased with it's performance. She had never made spaetzle before and was happy with the results,... and by the way, the fluffy mashed potatoes were incredible!P.S.: I made the egg salad...delish!

Question: How well does this utensil holder work?

I do love the look of this utensil holder, but it only works well if you have it fully loaded. While I'm sure your kitchen is like mine and has plenty of utensils to stuff it with, if you don't you might want to avoid it...they will pop out of all of the slots in the side (this happened to me while transferring from my previous holder). I gave this 3 stars since they could have easily fixed this by putting another 1/2 to 1 inch metal band around the inside of it (it's currently around 3/8 an inch or so). This wouldn't affect the asthetics much and would make it a much better product.

Question: How do they describe the lid?

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).

Answer: isn't the sturdiest

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.

Question: how long did the writer look?

I rarely gush about an item-but this little machine is fantastic! I kept looking at them for about a year until I saw the remanufactured version on Amazon at a more reasonable price than I had seen elsewhere. First I was pleasantly surprised that they shipped me the "Pet" version of the Spot Bot. Is there a difference between the regular one and this one? I imagine just the color and the cool paw print sticker, but I dig it since they are the main reason for my purchase. I have 3 dogs and a cat. We live on a farm, so lets just say them hurling is an occurence that happens more often than not, and of course usually in the middle of the night when you least want to clean them up. My first test was a couple of stains set in the rugs when we bought the house-used the set in stain setting-and they were gone. Yes, it did leave the clean "crop circle" where the stain was, but I knew I needed to shampoo them anyway. Several nights later-you guessed it-at 4am Riley got ill. I cleaned up the "bulk" of I and just went back to bed trusting my new favorite helper would be successful in the morning. It was. The machine is loud, and the dogs hate the beep at the end of the cycle-but you won't regret the purchase!Does go through cleaner, but I don't care and you won't either...

Question: What gets burned?

I bought these pans thinking that this style/size would be a universal size for all types of tins. I already own two of the Wilton Jumbo pans and assumed these would be the same. These cups are wider than wilton, resulting in a shorter, fatter muffin than if I put the same amount of batter into the Wilton pan. Also, the dark coating has had a tendency to burn the edges of my products before they are through cooking in the middle. These may say non-stick, but I always spray as I do not use liners when baking jumbo muffins for our local cafe.If you are looking for a taller muffin pan, I would recommend using Wilton's:Wilton 6-Cup Jumbo Muffin Pan

Question: From what company might the reviewer purchase another of these?

I received this item about 6 months ago, and my fault, did not try it right away....I pulled it out of the cabinet on Sunday for a party and it would not come on...my husband took the back off and the inside insulation was severely burned where the electric connects to the heating element.....pretty sure they will not replace at this late date, but am going to try....even if they do, this is still a definite quality control issue! I am going to purchase another one, but definitely from a more reputable company....

Question: What does it sound like?

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

Question: What is the only thing that could work against one's perception of the product?

This may seem silly, but I actually said, "WOW!" when I opened the box and saw this baster. (The baster I had been using must be about 25 years old, so I guess I never realized what I was missing.) It's big. Very big. And instead of a bulb top that only half-works, this has a bellows that you press. Which means it can draw up a precise amount of liquid (up to 3 oz.) and keep it there with no drips until you want to release it. Perfect.The only possible negative is its size makes it hard to store in a utensil drawer.

Question: does it take up space?

This fan does the job well and looks great on your desk without taking up too much room. It is powerful enough to cool one person on either of the two available settings, and it's nice and quiet. The oscillating function works great. I am overall very happy with this product.The two things I find mildly annoying:1) When turning the fan off while it is oscillating, it stops at whichever position it was oscillating at. While it's not a big deal, it drives me crazy, because I like it to be straight and aligned with the base while not in use, and if you turn it off at random, the top part may be pointing off the base to either side. So each time I want to turn it off, I have to wait for the top part to align with the base and then turn it off promptly. Not a good thing for a compulsive person.2) The switches aren't very ergonomic because you need two hands to operate: one to hold the fan in place, and another to push the button. With one hand only the fan will keep sliding out of reach and you'll never be able to turn it on/off.

Question: What color is the blade on these?

They are a little small but thats why we chose them. We keep one in the shower to dry down the tiles after each shower and even though small they pull the water off the tiles just fine. We use a 2nd one to keep the moisture down/clean the inside of our casement windows. The small size is just right to pull down on each pane of the window and collect the condensation in a rag during the winter. The white color of the rubber blade doesn't leave any marks on our glass, tiles or grout like some of the black bladed ones have in the past. We keep the 3rd one as a backup. Great price.

Question: What where they suprised that the 24oz. was able to store easily?

I loved the 20 oz. mug so much, I decided to try this 24 oz. small vented casserole. I can't say enough good things about it! It is wonderful for heating/storing a main dish or veggies for two. Don't let the photo fool you. I stored two half chicken breasts with sauce easily. Reheating will not only be simply, the small size prevents the food from becoming over-done and dry. Leftovers travel easily (and spillproof) to work and then the dish goes into the dishwasher... What is not to love??? Best of all, I can bring it to the table and the simple clean lines are perfectly with my Portmeirion pattern. I plan to order a second to use instead of the disposable plastic ware. What a useful product at a very practical size and a great price!

Question: What product did they switch to after using Cuisinart for a year?

After using a Cuisinart for a year, it lost it's umph, I switched to the KitchenAid and have not regretted one moment. Not a day has gone by (O.K. maybe just a couple) without me using it multiple times. I went all-out and bought everything that went with it. I could not be happier. It cleans up great, chops evenly, grates quickly, and makes life in the kitchen heavenly. In fact, I wouldn't doubt if God uses one of these. I love it so much I have purchased 2 more as gifts. A friend of mine who does not cook is nuts over this thing. His wife has thanked me repeatedly for getting her husband into the kitchen. I guess he really likes slicing potatoes and grating cheese. My wife even sent one small but necessary piece of this down the disposal. It's a little banged up but it still works great. Seriously, order it today and you won't regret it.
