Question: How long did they have their old one?

My old one was getting all tea stained and I had it for years, but I could never find one like this in any of the stores, I didn't like the ones they sold so I just kept on using my old one, then I found this one on Amazon and I immediately ordered this one since this was exactly what I wanted. I love the color and this is the perfect size for my tea. As soon as I got this I finally got to toss my old one. That is a great thing about Amazon, at least you can usually find what you are looking for when you have no luck finding what you are wanting in the stores.

Question: Which direction are riced items aimed into the bowl?

I love this ricer. It is extremely sturdy and heavy for its size, and is just a very high-quality piece of equipment that can be used for all sorts of things -- soups, purees, spaetzle, squeezing moisture out of wilted greens, etc. I also love that it doesn't have holes on the sides. My last ricer had side holes and I was constantly squirting boiling hot potato bits all over my kitchen. This ricer really aims the riced items downward into the bowl, which I appreciate.

Question: What brand does the author say they will be ordering?

I have tried everything to get this machine to make good espresso, to no avail. My old Hamilton Beach pump machine beat the pants off Starbucks using pre-ground Illy from the grocery store, but the shots from this machine are too weak. Got a friend to make some different grinds of Intelligentsia Black Cat with his burr grinder, but some were too coarse and some too fine. For me, a machine at this price is intended to make coffee easily and reliably. I don't want to have to spend hundreds of dollars on a grinder and screw with the grinds, I just want it to produce a decent cup using commercially available ground espresso. Looks like I'll be ordering another Hamilton Beach, even though the last one only lasted two years and the parts on this one are higher quality and a bit more user-serviceable.

Question: Whats benefits does a stronger juicer bring?

I use this primarily for getting lime juice for margaritas. It is a lot faster than squeezing by hand and more efficient than using one of the manual squeezers. There are separate attachments for limes/lemons and oranges/grapefruits. It's very quick to set up and its use is intuitive.If you have used one of the super-duper juicers out there, you may be disappointed by this unit. The power is adequate, but I can almost bring it to a stop using strong pressure. I would like to be able to extract the juice faster.It cleans up and stores easily, and I like the way you can vary the amount of pulp you allow in.It's a good deal for the money, but I long for something with a more powerful motor.

Question: What product did I swear I would never buy years ago?

I swore years ago that I would NEVER buy another Euro-Pro product because they are all JUNK. Glad my curiosity won that argument. Had it about 2 weeks now, and I love it! Have made lots of frozen coffee drinks. Also made wonderful strawberry "ice cream". Froze a pound of strawberries, added about 2/3 of a cup of almond milk (great for lactose intolerant folks), a couple tablespoons of honey and a little vanilla. Absolutely great! Really easy to clean, small enough to stick in a cabinet. I don't expect it to last forever, but it's cheap enough that I'd replace it in a heartbeat.Now it's May 26, and my Ninja is DEAD!!! I only used this maybe 15 times, and noticed that the last 5 or 6 times it was VERY difficult to get the top part (the motor)to sit properly on the shaft on the blade. I went to use it a few days ago and when I finally got it to sit right, the motor turned on, but blade didn't turn. I looked, and it's completely stripped and therefore useless. Even though I said I'd get another one, 6 weeks use is ridiculous. Should have listened to my instinct and not gotten ANYTHING from Euro-Pro.

Question: Why don't they get hot?

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

Question: What was the exact date that the bowl and colander set arrived?

You can count on OXO Good Grips to come up with good products and this 3-Piece Bowl and Colander Set is a Godsend! Mine arrived on November 26, 2013 and I've already put it to use for my holiday cooking. The bowl, lid and colander are remarkably strong and contain no BPAs. I like the handles on the colander and the nonslip bottom on the bowl, which keeps you from having to hang onto it lest it slips. The lid has clasps which makes the bowl a good storage place for keeping your food fresh. It is very attractive and works well. It has already scored bonus points in my kitchen and I love it!

Question: A lot of times what would co-workers help themselves to and take?

I've owned two other bialetti moka pots in the past. I still have one actually, but it's a larger (stainless steel) variant. Making coffee in the office, many times I'll want to just make coffee for myself instead of the two cups that the larger model would produce. Sometimes a coworker would take the spare cup of coffee, but often it would go cold sitting there as not everyone can handle such an amazing cup of coffee.This thing is perfect for one american sized cup of coffee with creamer. I use this thing in conjunction with a hot plate in the office. Who needs K-cups?

Question: Who bought the squirting dish brush?

I find OXO to consistently provide quality products at reasonable prices and this squirting dish brush is no exception. My wife bought this for me over a year ago and I neglected to use it for several months. Afterall, I keep plenty of liquid dish detergent in a handy metal squirter. The whole idea of it seemed plain silly. Well, evevntually my wife filled it up after seeing its neglect. The rest is history.It may not be a huge time saver, but it's surprisingly easy to squirt out the right amount of detergent. The brush takes up a bit of sink counter real estate, but is very easy to handle and has held up remarkably well. My favorite use is for cleaning out colanders.

Question: What can you do to the popcorn?

The flavor you get from the popcorn is fabulous!! The cooking time is about the same as a microwave, and the clean up is pretty quick. I use olive oil for my popcorn. I used to spend $$$ at Trader Joe's on their version, but no more!! This popper is simple and fast. Plus....... You can customize your popcorn by type of oil, seasonings, etc. The popper lid snaps off for clean up. I usually wash mine, but a few times I have just wiped it out with a paper towel. I bought 2 more of these for Christmas gifts.

Question: What don't they use?

This was a great skillet when new. The size, shape, weight and non-stick coating were just what I wanted. But after just a few months of casual use, the non-stick coating has begun to come off all along the upper edge. We don't use metal utensils or scouring pads nor have we ever run it through the dishwasher or tried to deep fry in the thing. Its just peeling off for no reason. I'm really disappointed for this being a Farberware product.

Question: What was on the outside of the decaf canister?

I bought this one and the matching decaf canister. Out of the two canisters, the decaf one was the worst. Part of the decaf stickers had come off when manufactured, and someone tried to cover it up with black paint. Also, a nice size spot of black paint on the handle. Soooo cheaply made and not worth it. I was very disappointed and I am returning both canisters. The black one had some imperfections too, scoop is cheaply made. Maybe cute for decoration if you put them up high where no one can see them up close, but I wouldn't recommend for daily use.

Question: What did the reviewer like about the product?

Both ice mold cracked at bottom within a few weeks. I think poor quality. Had to return to get replacement. Otherwise it works great. Shaved ice is fine and pretty fast. From time to time, when it seems slow to shave, remove and rinse blade area because sometimes ice builds up at where the blade is. Put pressure on where the blade is.

Question: How long do the mini-loaf need to bake?

I've been served individual mini-loaves of warm bread in restaurants and wanted to do the same at home. This loaf pan works precisely as advertised and produced twelve perfect sourdough rolls shaped like a tiny loaf of bread. The instructions warn that the dough may stick and advise you to grease it the first time you use it; I didn't and had no sticking problems whatsoever. Also, it's floppy so you will need to put it on top of a cookie sheet which will help brown the bottom of the bread.Here's the recipe I used. I usually bake my sourdough hotter than this, but the instructions say that 446 degrees is as hot as it should go so I baked at 450. It's a simple sweet-and-sour bread that would probably work fine without the starter, or you could try adding a bit of lemon juice or using buttermilk in place of some of the water.Honey Sourdough Rolls75 g (approximately 1/3 cup) stiff sourdough starter375 g (3/4 c minus 1/2 t) lukewarm water500 g all purpose flour (about 4 cups)2 T honey1 t salt t yeastMethod: Mix starter and water thoroughly; stir in flour; allow to rest (autolyse) 30-60 minutes. Evenly distribute honey, salt and yeast over the top of the dough and mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon or dough scraper. Allow to proof at room temperature 2 hours; the mixture will rise somewhat and become more liquid and bubbly. Spoon equal portions into mini-loaf mold and rise 60 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven with a cookie sheet inside to 450 degrees. Place the mini-loaf mold on top of preheated cookie sheet and bake 25-35 minutes until tops are well browned. Serve warm.

Question: Does the cooker poach eggs evenly?

If you like your poached eggs very undercooked, this might be okay for you. However I like my poached eggs on the medium to medium-well side (with the white totally cooked, and the yolk just starting to firm up at the edges). This cooker cannot do that. You put the eggs in the poaching tray, and the top part of the egg (that is exposed to steam) cooks LONG before the bottom part (in the bottom of the tray). Impossible to get them evenly cooked. However, this turns out GREAT boiled eggs, much faster than I can make them in a pot. I was really looking forward to an easier method of poaching eggs, but looks like I'm back to my pot of water. :\

Answer: Impossible to get them evenly cooked

Impossible to get them evenly cooked .

If you like your poached eggs very undercooked, this might be okay for you. However I like my poached eggs on the medium to medium-well side (with the white totally cooked, and the yolk just starting to firm up at the edges). This cooker cannot do that.

Question: What is the brand of this product?

I bought this Malouf Bed Sheet Set, with some doubts,as I have never bought this kind of product on line before, but this turned out great. I saw the price and I could not resist.On top of that my husband wanted black sheets.The sheets have been washed a couple of times, they are really wrinkle resistant, and soft, very soft , something we really enjoy.We bought them in black,thinking that being black, a pretty difficult colour, they would get soon worn out but to our suprise the colour is still nice, like the first day.So we are very happy and the price was really good.Definitely I will be on the look out for more bed sets from this company.

Question: How does the product compare to the picture?

This salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it. It's a solid, well-constructed set that seems like it will hold up for a long time.*update* Last night I dropped one of these on the floor while I was in a standing position and it did not shatter or even crack. This is a floor that things usually shatter in million pieces on too (we've had that happen with glasses and a pitcher). That shows how solid these are.*2nd update* I was just carrying items out of the room and the pepper shaker slipped and flew out of my hand and landed under a chair (no carpet, hard floor) and I said to myself that's going to be a mess...went to look and it was all in one piece, not even a crack! I just bumped these up to a 5 star, they've earned it.

Question: Who did the reviewer call for help with their broken product?

I purchased a BXB 10c from Amazon about 3 1/2 years ago. The coffee maker just quit on morning trying to brew coffee. While this coffee maker looks great and has the reputation that Bunn has had for over some 50 years of making coffee makers probably the top name in coffee makers, this one is not in that class.I called Bunn Service and told them about the problem, heat plate wouldn't work, On/Off light on the hot plate quit working and the next day the heating element for heating the self contained reservoir holding onboard water also quit working. Their answer was, "Your warranty is 3 days past warranty." I asked to you ever fix these anymore and their reply was "NO." I asked why not, and her reply was, "Bunn has found them to be too troublesome to fix and it's just cheaper to warranty them and then when off warranty tell the customer to throw them away!" Whaaaat? Throw them away. Well I attempted to fix it myself thinking any product of this type would have an inline fuse. Guess what? ...No inline fuse. This thing is TOTAL JUNK. OVER PRICED JUNK. Buyer beware.

Question: What does the writer like about the product?

This cutlery organizer looks great, seems very durable, and I really like that it has 2 short compartments instead of just 1, like most organizers.It has 2 small shortcomings, however: 1) It slides around in my drawer, just like any organizer I've ever had. I would love to have an organizer that stays put. 2) The dividers have small gaps in places, which results in the knives occasionally sliding into the adjoining compartment. It's not a huge problem, but it can get annoying.Despite these issues, I think this cutlery organizer is the best one I've ever owned and would definitely recommend it.

Question: What is being reviewed?

I love this mat for everything. It is of good heft (not flimsy) and makes it extremely easy to knead dough or roll out pizza or pie dough to an exact size. There are even two pizza recipes printed on it. Clean up is a breeze and little if any product is left behind on this mat. It also keeps the counter clean. I only hope the printed information stays for years but since it is probably silicone as well, I don't have any worries. It is one of those things you might not think you need but once you have it you'll use it every day.
