Hamilton-Beach | question: Which mixer did the author have first?, context: This is my third hand mixer in about three months. My old Hamilton-Beach (#1) finally bit the dust, so I decided to purchase this one. Unfortunately I mentioned my intention to my husband, who recommended that I look for something less expensive instead. I did some price-shopping and ended up spending $15.00 on another brand (#2). I got what I paid for. I hope whoever bought it at the local Salvation Army store likes it better than I did. Mixer #3, this Waring, is wonderful. I chose it because several reviewers mentioned that its lowest speed is SLOW, and I agree. My H-B came with a spatter-shield that attached to its housing; this mixer neither has nor needs one. The beaters eject easily, and I love the digital timer. Many recipes direct that a mixture be beaten for a specific length of time, and since I can't see a clock from the counter where I do my mixing, the timer is a definite convenience. I do have a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer for heavier items, but this little guy whips up great cakes, frostings, and fillings. | Which mixer did the author have first? | My old Hamilton-Beach (#1) finally bit the dust, so I decided to purchase this one. | This is my third hand mixer in about three months.

Eureka | question: What brand of vacuum is this?, context: This is a great cordless vac. I have two dogs and this picks up all the hair without getting clogged! (works great on floors- medium success with carpet so if you have carpet this may not be your solution). I have an Electrolux that was specifically advertised to be good for people with dogs- what a waste of money- it clogs with the first pass- don't make the same mistake. The Eureka is very reasonable priced and does a great job. It's also pretty quiet for a vacuum and my dog who is terrified of the regular vacuum is not bothered by this at all. | What brand of vacuum is this? | The Eureka is very reasonable priced and does a great job. | This is a great cordless vac.

the sides | question: What pops out when you place laundry in the hamper?, context: It's a simple hamper so there's not much to comment on other than one thing that is slightly annoying and the reason for 4 stars - In the picture, the hamper stands perfectly straight but 2 of the folding creases on are along the left and right wall so the minute some dirty clothes go in, the sides pop out at the fold, which runs vertically down the middle of the left and right walls, and the hamper starts to bulge and lose its rectangular form. It's not terrible, but I, personally, would rather have a hamper that doesn't bulge. Other than that, it's solid. | What pops out when you place laundry in the hamper? | so the minute some dirty clothes go in, the sides pop out at the fold, which runs vertically down the middle of the left and right walls, and the hamper starts to bulge and lose its rectangular form. | It's a simple hamper so there's not much to comment on other than one thing that is slightly annoying and the reason for 4 stars - In the picture, the hamper stands perfectly straight but 2 of the folding creases on are along the left and right wall so the minute some dirty clothes go in, the sides pop out at the fold, which runs vertically down the middle of the left and right walls, and the hamper starts to bulge and lose its rectangular form.

6 months | question: How long did they have it for?, context: We have had this for about 6 months. Makes fantastic crispy pizza. The clean up is the best part with this. It's one piece and everything washes off easily (event the super melted cheese). When you cut pizza on it using a pizza cutter it doesn't hurt the finish at all. We love this thing.We got an All-Clad about the same time (generous present) and like it as well. The Emile Henry wins, however, because (a) easier clean up (b) light weight and (c) no scratches when you use a pizza slicer. On the all-clad you leave a mark on the soapstone every time you cut.If we ever get another stone it will be this one. Great product! | How long did they have it for? | We have had this for about 6 months . | We have had this for about 6 months. Makes fantastic crispy pizza. The clean up is the best part with this.

Mean Green | question: What brand of juice has the consumer sealed?, context: I charged this up for over a day before using it. Despite the boxes of food that had been in my kitchen for weeks, I knew that RIGHT THEN all my food would go BAD if I didn't VACUUM SEAL it IMMEDIATELY. But I waited. And once it was charged, oh boy, did I have fun I initially sealed all my jars of pasta, rice, grains, beans, and dried fruit. I got through nearly 2 dozen jars (wide mouth mason jars, I used the wide mouth jar sealer) before the vacuum died and I had to recharge. Fast forward to day two, after charging for another day, I got through another 20 or so jars. I vacuum sealed more of my nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and other pantry goods that aren't used often. I've been using it for produce too. I sealed some broccoli and blueberries (in separate jars) that had been purchased at the grocery store a few days prior. You know how quickly broccoli and blueberries go limp and squishy. These only had about 1or 2 days left max before turning to gross. Well, I cut up the broccoli into edible chunks, filled a jar, and sealed it. 4-5 days later, I opened it up, dumped into a bowl, and made delicious steamed broccoli. Same with the blueberries.Since that first test, I've used it for grapes (put half in a sealed jar, half are immediately washed and eaten). When I buy a pepper I cut it into slices and put them in a jar, and keep it sealed, only pulling out a few at a time for wraps or salads. This extends the peppers to about 2 weeks before getting slimy. This gadget will definitely help me prepare meals more quickly. I plan on buying a week or more worth of vegetables at a time, and sealing up enough at a time for one meal.I've used it on jars of Mean Green juice too. It's fascinating to see the foam head on the juice expand and rise up as you suck the air out. Husband said the juice tasted quite fresh the next morning. I usually make his juice the night before, so he's used to juice that's 12 hours old or more.This works directly on top of the wide mouth jar sealer, no tube required. Lasts long time, makes a great vacuum. I love this product. | What brand of juice has the consumer sealed? | I've used it on jars of Mean Green juice too. | I charged this up for over a day before using it.

It's also itty bitty | question: Is the lookalike soap dish the same size as the real one?, context: OK, so I saw in the reviews and photos that some people were receiving a cheap knockoff version of this soap dish, with no slant and a suction cup on it. However, most of the reviews over the more recent months showed people getting the correct item, so I thought Amazon must've corrected the problem. Not so. Ordered 3 days ago, got the idiotic replica which for some reason has no slant whatsoever (one would think even the people making the knockoffs would recognize the overall purpose of the thing.) It's also itty bitty, maybe holding a hotel bar comfortably, but no way a bath bar. And what's with the suction cup? If used on a flat surface, it would make it rock back and forth. Anyhow, it's going back immediately. Ridiculous to waste the time, effort, shipping, etc just to randomly give people either the correct product or a cheap, useless version. If you try it, good luck. At least Amazon has easy returns. | Is the lookalike soap dish the same size as the real one? | Ordered 3 days ago, got the idiotic replica which for some reason has no slant whatsoever (one would think even the people making the knockoffs would recognize the overall purpose of the thing.)

has a charm of it's own | question: Why did the writer like the product?, context: This clothes butler is a nice surprise - very stable and surprisingly sturdy. The finishes are attractive and it was very easy to put together. I think this clothes butler would work just as well for a woman as for a man as it is also a bit taller than I expected. If you are in the market for one of these I believe you would be quite happy with this. There are many that are more expensive, and others that are all wood, etc., but this one has a charm of it's own and has quite a modern look to it. I can confidently recommend this product. A little bit about the seller - 2K Furniture Designs: There was one small 0-ring that I was missing when I received the product - and I contacted the seller and I received a prompt reply and a week later received two 0-rings. I mention this only because it is always good when a seller stands behind their product when there is a problem and 2K Furniture Designs did just that. Very impressed. | Why did the writer like the product? | There are many that are more expensive, and others that are all wood, etc., but this one has a charm of it's own and has quite a modern look to it. | This clothes butler is a nice surprise - very stable and surprisingly sturdy.

replace another small one | question: Why did the person buy the vacuum?, context: I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain. | Why did the person buy the vacuum? | I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. | I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have.

It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another.

up or down | question: which direction do the rings rotate?, context: Smooth wood & no rough metal connections for scarves to snag on, and good-sized rings that will rotate up or down...perfect! At 1st I thought that the rings didn't rotate on the hanger as advertised, but I found that if you grasp a ring and then firmly push it a 1/4 turn, it will stay in that position....or any position between straight up and lying parallel to the floor. The wood is very soft and twisting the ring will cause the hole to widen. I put my scarves on it with the rings turned just slightly for ease of getting them on and off. This is a functional and attractive addition to my closet...love it! | which direction do the rings rotate? | Smooth wood & no rough metal connections for scarves to snag on, and good-sized rings that will rotate up or down ...perfect! | Smooth wood & no rough metal connections for scarves to snag on, and good-sized rings that will rotate up or down...perfect!

registered the vacuum with Hoover | question: What did the writer do which sped up the process of replacing the handle?, context: I thought I had rated this vacuum before. I can't say enough about it. I've read some bad reviews about people not getting response from Hoover. I had a problem at about the one year point with the handle. It broke right where the screw is to hold it to the rest of the product. I called Hoover and I had another handle within three weeks. I had registered the vacuum with Hoover when I received it so I think that speeded up the process. How else do they know when you've purchased it and aren't trying to scam them. Since getting the new handle, I use clear packaging tape to help secure it to the base to hold it sturdier. I highly recommend people register their product as soon as they receive it. I use in the kitchen and bathrooms but not on carpet as we have a heavier one for that. If/when something does eventually happen to it after the warranty period, I will definitely get another one. | What did the writer do which sped up the process of replacing the handle? | I had registered the vacuum with Hoover when I received it | I thought I had rated this vacuum before.

microwave safe | question: What do they lids say on them?, context: I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection. Thinking these would do double duty as both serving bowls and storage solutions I ordered them. I have not been disappointed in any way. The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so. But for longer times I use a Corelle saucer, like comes with tea cups, to cover the smallest and middle sizes. Don't know why really except that plastics in the microwave seems like a bad idea. I have enough height in my cupboard to store the smallest bowls with lids on and stacked. I don't nest the bowls but if I did I'd place a paper towel or cloth napkin between. I often make vegetable pot pies in the smallest bowls, something that is not available at my grocer and from past experience I doubt I could buy a frozen pot pie that came close to how good mine are. I love that these bowls are made in the USA. | What do they lids say on them? | The flexible blue plastic lids do say microwave safe on them and I will put them in the microwave if I'm only zapping for thirty seconds or so. | I had a hodgepodge of bowls and wanted to streamline my collection.

has an allergy and cannot buy school lunches | question: What is the limitation with the writer's son?, context: I am SO beyond excited to have this. I am in nursing school, which requires a lot of long days and have some classmates who have these. I finally bought one and LOVE it. I do not use microwaves and with winter coming it would be great to have hot lunches. Not to mentions, microwaves are not always available.I was not even thinking, but now I am going to buy a second one. My son has an allergy and cannot buy school lunches. I have always tried to bring him hot lunches when I can, but that is hard to do especially with being in school and working. Now I can send him to school with this with approval from his teacher. He is SO excited. All he has to do is plug this in about 2 hours before lunch and its ready when he is. | What is the limitation with the writer's son? | My son has an allergy and cannot buy school lunches . | I am SO beyond excited to have this.

Gen 3 | question: Which generation of product used more wattage?, context: I assume this Gen 4 unit will save energy better than than Gen 3(?) I have which is exactly the same otherwise. My 1500 watt Costco bought $199. unit (which I assumed would adjust wattage as I adjusted the heat level)just didn't. It runs at an average 1350 watts no matter what (using kill-a watt meter). So I guess they improved the unit to run at 1000 watts. A remote that works out of the box would also be helpful! Heat varies according to space requirements.Don't expect fast hot heating under 52 degrees. Best feature is its safety and non off gassing and non oxygen depleting features. Oh, a five year warranty. | Which generation of product used more wattage? | I assume this Gen 4 unit will save energy better than than Gen 3 (?) | I assume this Gen 4 unit will save energy better than than Gen 3(?)

doesn't add a ton of weight | question: Does the cutter handle feel too heavy to use comfortably?, context: I have struggled with a cheap rotary cutter for years. It never gets through the crust very well and the cheese gets stuck on the blade too.This is a great solution to horrible rotary cutters. It is long enough to cut through a small pizza without repositioning but a larger pizza will need you to slice, and shift to get the whole thing cut across.It is very sharp and has a great curve to it that helps to rock it across the pizza. The top is wide enough to allow for a good grip but doesn't add a ton of weight.I really like using this so much better than the old fashioned, cheap rotary cutters. | Does the cutter handle feel too heavy to use comfortably? | The top is wide enough to allow for a good grip but doesn't add a ton of weight .I really like using this so much better than the old fashioned, cheap rotary cutters. | I have struggled with a cheap rotary cutter for years.

cinnamon rolls | question: What was the first thing the mat was used for?, context: I was interested in this for one purpose: to hold my pastry mat in place. Though it is "non slip" - it does, indeed, move around. So when I received the non slip table mat - I went right to work making some cinnamon rolls using the non slip mat under my pastry mat. What a joy! It firmly keeps the pastry map in place - no more chasing the dough around the table!

Of course, my hand is a bit weaker now and cumbersome with the bandages... and I was trying to open a bottle of parmesan cheese and couldn't open it.

good for cooling cookies | question: What does it work best with?, context: Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack, 14-1/2 x 20 inch. Love this item. I ordered one and liked it so much I got another one. I use it for everything but it's especially good for cooling cookies. I transfer them from the baking sheet, covered with a Silpat, to the cooling rack after about 8 or 10 minutes. While still soft, but I wait until they won't pull apart while transferring. Then I let the cookies cool completely on this rack. It works great, the cookies don't stick to it. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a cooling rack, especially for cookies directly onto the rack. | What does it work best with? | but it's especially good for cooling cookies . | Wilton Nonstick Cooling Rack, 14-1/2 x 20 inch.

every available option was highlighted | question: What was wrong when the reviewer looked at the lcd display?, context: I bought this only 2 and half months ago and have used it maybe 4 or 5 times (I mostly only iron when I sew and I have been too busy to sew lately). When I went to use it today it was making some mild clicking type noises that I hadn't noticed in the past. Then I realized it just wasn't ironing so great either. When I looked at the lcd display, I saw that every available option was highlighted, including the pause lights. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it cleared for a brief moment and then went back to doing what it was doing: Very little heat and the display not reading correctly. Clearly I have a faulty iron and I'm majorly disappointed about it. Now I have to try to send the thing back to the company and hope for a repair or replacement. This is definitely one of those times where I wish I had bought this at a local store so I could just return it. Not happy.Oh, and one other thing... when I first got this I left it plugged in but made sure it was turned off. When I came back to it later, I noticed the handle was warm to the touch. The soleplate, however, was cool. I made sure to keep it unplugged from then on.Overall, a VERY untrustworthy product from my perspective. | What was wrong when the reviewer looked at the lcd display? | When I looked at the lcd display, I saw that every available option was highlighted , including the pause lights. | I bought this only 2 and half months ago and have used it maybe 4 or 5 times (I mostly only iron when I sew and I have been too busy to sew lately).

Rowenta Professional iron | question: What is not under warranty?, context: I actually like to iron and own the Rowenta Professional iron. I have used it a half dozen times and it is useless. The iron doesn't heat - not even on the cotton linen setting.As per Rowenta, inorder to have it serviced I would pack it up and send it to a service center, and pay for shipping and repair which is more than the cost of a replacement iron.It is not under warrantee as it was in storage - unused - and was purchased last summer, so it is over a year old.I have had irons last many years and they keep steaming along.

It doesn't leak | question: Does the product leak?, context: There are not a lot of products that live up to what you expect. This one comes darn close. It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee). It's double-walled stainless so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented). It doesn't leak if you screw in the top tightly. Fill it with hot water while you're brewing your coffee. It's easy to carry (I'm a woman and I can grasp and carry it with minimal issues). I actually forgot my thermos for a couple of days over a weekend and the coffee was still pretty hot even after 48 hours). It doesn't keep the java piping hot for as long as the description (I like mine pretty hot) but it does the job for a day of coffee at work. | Does the product leak? | It doesn't leak if you screw in the top tightly. | There are not a lot of products that live up to what you expect.

the bomb! | question: What did the reviewer call the product?, context: This baby is the bomb! I bought this for my husbands birthday and I have been celebrating ever since! This does a great job making drinks! I can't believe how well it shaves ice; it makes great icee's also! This is a big machine so plan your counter space appropriately. The pitcher it comes with is glass so we bought an extra plastic pitcher to keep the drinks flowing.

fruit juice pops | question: What are gangbusters?, context: I love having one of these every evening, since I crave sweets and this is a good way to get my "fix' in a healthy, low-calorie way. I used to go through commercial fruit juice pops like gangbusters, but that can get expensive if you don't stock up during sales. Plus, they contain sugar. Now I can concoct new recipes to my heart's delight. Right now, I have blueberry lemonade sweetened a bit with organic maple syrup. To die for! Just set them in a glass of water for a few minutes and they slide right out.

$40.00 | question: How much can replacing the battery save you?, context: You need to know that iRobot corp. makes it difficult to change this battery. After removing the screws, I found that the yellow battery case lid is glued to the bottom of the case. You need a couple of straight, small screwdrivers to slowly tap open the glue seam much like a diamond cutter uses a tiny chisel to tap cut a diamond. I had to tap the seam every 1/4 inch to break it loose. Hit it too hard and your cost savings are gone if you break the case at the attachment points - you would need to buy the whole battery pack - so only do this if you are careful and patient. Removing the old battery pack also is challenging if you are not the careful type as it is glued to the base of the case internally. Cutting the wires and soldering the leads is easy but there is no room for any other attachment method so you had better be confident in your soldering skills. This is not a job for the impatient person and you had better have all the right tools but since I am a nerd geek, I enjoyed the challenge and IT WORKED GREAT!! CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES AND KNOW YOUR SKILLS and if this sounds fun and challenging (like I do), it is a great way to save $40.00 AND set it up to do future battery replacements more easily. | How much can replacing the battery save you? | CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES AND KNOW YOUR SKILLS and if this sounds fun and challenging (like I do), it is a great way to save $40.00 AND set it up to do future battery replacements more easily. | You need to know that iRobot corp. makes it difficult to change this battery.

a month | question: How long has the customer owned the coffeemaker?, context: i read all the reviews and was very careful in selecting my new coffeemaker. one of the things that I hated the most about my old style (glass) carafe was that it DID, in fact, taste like burnt coffee and hated that so much. i though the idea of a thermal carafe was great! keeping it warm without burning it. BUT this particular coffeemaker doesn't even get it hot! it does NOT have a setting for the hot plate because THERE IS NO HOT PLATE. It does not get warm at all because it expects the carage to keep it warm. I love having the preset button but cannot use it because if I don't wake up right when it is finished brewing I do not get a hot cup of coffee. And by the time I leave for work to pour the last cup, it isn't even warm. I gave it three stars because some people may not prefer their coffee piping hot and since it does make a tasty cup of coffee with the three settings, I will leave it.Regardless, I have only had this coffee maker for just over a month and am thinking about buying a different one. Waste of money for me. If anyone wants to purchase this off of me, I would gladly sell it to you at a cheaper price. :( | How long has the customer owned the coffeemaker? | Regardless, I have only had this coffee maker for just over a month and am thinking about buying a different one. | i read all the reviews and was very careful in selecting my new coffeemaker. one of the things that I hated the most about my old style (glass) carafe was that it DID, in fact, taste like burnt coffee and hated that so much. i though the idea of a thermal carafe was great! keeping it warm without burning it.

faded numbers | question: What becomes more difficult to read with more exposure to heat?, context: I have had a Taylor 5932 NSF oven thermometer for over 3 yrs now. Until I cracked (or think I did) the glass, it worked perfectly. Yes, it will age, discolour, and faded numbers become a little more difficult to read over time as it frequently subjected to high heat. ( I probably should take it out when broiling.)After I cracked (note the "I cracked") it has become unreliable, I have to tap it with a wooden spoon to get the needle to respond. After I noticed this, I took it out and noticed a fair amount of "debris" inside the instrument. I assume this is the cause of the "stickiness" of needle to respond.I have to give this product 5 stars, as I haven't exactly treated it well, but for 3 yrs it worked very well and baked goods & roasted foods came out perfectly after I calibrated my oven TO this thermometer, which it had not before. For $5-$6 can I really ask for any more than 3 good years of hard use and abuse of a product.I am today ordering a replacement one, so, yes, I recommend. | What becomes more difficult to read with more exposure to heat? | Yes, it will age, discolour, and faded numbers become a little more difficult to read over time as it frequently subjected to high heat. | I have had a Taylor 5932 NSF oven thermometer for over 3 yrs now.

3pm | question: When the user fills the thermos, at what time is the coffee still hot?, context: I purchased two of these after experiencing how long theThermos Stainless King SK1005MBTRI4 16-Ounce Leak-Proof Travel Mug, Midnight Bluekept my coffee hot. I can fill my mug with coffee at 7:30am and it'll still be warm enough to drink at 3pm.Pros:- Built-in collapsible metal spoon. No need to pack extra silverware. The spoon stays clean until use and a dirty/used spoon isn't bouncing around in my pack getting other things messy.- The top cap serves as a cup.- The indentation around the middle of the thermos makes it easy to hold onto while eating.- The rim is comfortable to drink from.- No nooks and crannies on the inside to make cleaning difficult.- The entire bottom half is stainless steel, so my food is not in constant contact with plastic.Cons:- Hand wash only in order to preserve the blue finish.Others reviewers state that the mouth is too narrow to use the spoon. I find that it is a similar width to other thermoses I've used, and I have no problems using the spoon to eat chunky soups directly from the thermos. No thermos is the width of a soup bowl, so all of them require a bit of tilting if you want to lift a spoonful of something out of them.

long as an adult body | question: About how long are the pillows?, context: This review is for the green body pillow protectors. In the unlikely event that you're not familiar with body pillows, these pillows are about as long as an adult body, and provide support to the head and neck at the top and to the knees and legs lower down. Body pillows are especially useful in providing support for those who sleep on their sides and for pregnant women.The BlowOut Bedding pillow protectors are very nice. They're more soft and comfortable than I would have expected for 100% polyester. The hem-stitching is tight and uniform. My wife was impressed with the pillow protectors too, and she knows fabrics better than I do. (Her late father had a degree in textile engineering, and he felt compelled to pass on his knowledge of fabrics to her!) We washed the pillow protectors in cold water with a mild detergent, putting a white cotton towel in the washer to see if the color ran - it didn't. We tumble-dried the protectors in the dryer on medium heat with a fabric softener sheet, and they came out very soft and fluffy.We're both impressed with these pillow protectors.Note: On the label attached to the pillow protector, the washing directions appear to be for the pillow itself, not the pillow protector.A product sample was provided by the seller for review purposes. | About how long are the pillows? | In the unlikely event that you're not familiar with body pillows, these pillows are about as long as an adult body , and provide support to the head and neck at the top and to the knees and legs lower down. | This review is for the green body pillow protectors.

Norpro 3600 Giant Muffin Cups | question: What is the name of the muffin cups this user has used with the muffin pan?, context: To be honest, I wish I can give this Jumbo Muffin Pan 10 stars. This pan is way better than the muffin pan that I have now which seemed to heat my muffins unevenly.I used this pan the day after I received it in the mail and I could not be more pleased. Heat is distributed evenly and I don't have muffins that are light and some dark like I used to have with my last muffin pan. I have used this pan along with the Norpro 3600 Giant Muffin Cups which makes clean-up a total breeze. This is a real non-stick pan and you can use a paper towel to clean this pan because nothings sticks to it. I love this pan. If I can marry this pan I would :)Get this pan. You can't go wrong with this. | What is the name of the muffin cups this user has used with the muffin pan? | I have used this pan along with the Norpro 3600 Giant Muffin Cups which makes clean-up a total breeze. | To be honest, I wish I can give this Jumbo Muffin Pan 10 stars.

submitted the previous review before receiving the item | question: Why did the writer change his rating?, context: I purchased one of these about 2 years ago from a housewares store, (I thought Bed,Bath, & Beyond). Anyway, I use mine to keep powdered sugar in. Since I bake a lot, it has come in handy quite a bit. It's so convenient to store with the airtight cap. About a year ago I started looking for another one for cocoa powder and had been unable to find it, until now on Amazon! I'm so happy!UPDATE 8/23/09 - I'm reducing my 4 stars to 2! I had submitted the previous review before receiving the item. This particular one is much bigger than the one I already have. Mine must be about 4 oz. Anyway, the size is not the major disappointment, the shaker lid does not fit snug. I have horrible visions of this top flying off and wasting my cocoa powder all over the place. Also, with the lid not fitting snug, it would not keep the powder fresh while it was stored in it. Sorry if my previous review persuaded someone to purchase this item. I no longer comment on any items until I actually receive them. | Why did the writer change his rating? | I had submitted the previous review before receiving the item . | I purchased one of these about 2 years ago from a housewares store, (I thought Bed,Bath, & Beyond).

some lemon, or juice | question: What does this customer want to try besides water?, context: Pretty easy to use. Just need to put the two pieces together and fill with water from the little holes in the top. Just make sure not to overfill! All of my little ice balls have nubs on them that are hard to get off from the water fill up hole. I also have one unfortunate looking squished ice ball because something was pushing on it in the freezer, but other than that, they look great! I can't wait trying these with something other than just water! Maybe some lemon, or juice...mint leaves perhaps? :) | What does this customer want to try besides water? | Maybe some lemon, or juice ...mint leaves perhaps? | Pretty easy to use.

$50 - 60 | question: What price would the reviewer be happy paying for this device?, context: Gave it a 4-star.- quite sturdy.- does not wobble.- nice and wide.- cover is decent quality.- catch holds the legs firmly.- height is fully adjustable in reasonable increments.A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board. Could see $50 - 60.However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores.In other words a good piece of work but not quite up to my expectations based on the reviews. You won't be disappointed over the long haul, but the immediate impression is not quite as brilliant as you want it to be. | What price would the reviewer be happy paying for this device? | Could see $50 - 60 .However, certainly better than the cheapos from big box stores. | Gave it a 4-star.- quite sturdy.- does not wobble.- nice and wide.- cover is decent quality.- catch holds the legs firmly.- height is fully adjustable in reasonable increments.A lot of the nitpicking is just that, but it's not (to my thinking) an $80 ironing board.

which knifes I used to cut smelly onions | question: What do I sometimes forget?, context: Sometimes I forget which knifes I used to cut smelly onions or other smelly foods... you know those foods that stick to a kitchen utensils no matter how many times you tried scrubbing that scent off? Well, now there's this!! Gone are the days of using knifes! This is the best banana slicer in the world! You just place banana down and place this on top and slowly add pressure.. like in the picture.Reasons why I love this better than using a knife:1. Don't have to worry about accidentally cutting my fingers.2. Banana sliced in one easy go.3. Great bite size pieces.4. Safe for all ages!I highly recommend this product, and kinda surprise this hasn't been "as seen on tv"... unless it already has. I can't wait for the next model!! I want to slice more than 1 banana at a time. | What do I sometimes forget? | Sometimes I forget which knifes I used to cut smelly onions or other smelly foods... | Sometimes I forget which knifes I used to cut smelly onions or other smelly foods... you know those foods that stick to a kitchen utensils no matter how many times you tried scrubbing that scent off?

the loud beeping noise | question: What else is annoying?, context: I first purchased the NuWave and loved it until the plastic dome started cracking. Rather than buy another dome, I figured it would be better to purchase a product with a better design such as the Super Wave Oven which has a big glass bowl and a cover on top which should last longer and is easier to wash. The only problem I see with this design which the NuWave overcame is the heating element. The NuWave's heating element is a true infrared carbon heat element which is thick and only glows a little which I can tell will last for a long time. The Super Wave's heating element is a halogen light tube which won't last longer than a year - thus minus one star. The other thing annoying is the loud beeping noise when setting the heat and time. Other than those two things, the oven is great so far. | What else is annoying? | The other thing annoying is the loud beeping noise when setting the heat and time. | I first purchased the NuWave and loved it until the plastic dome started cracking.

grease a pan | question: What won't have to be done anymore with this product?, context: For years I have seen this product in stores. After buying one and using it over & over again, I am a believer. Great for candies, chocolates, fondant, dough, bread, you name it. I never had a great place to roll out pie dough...now I do. Bake anything on it and it wipes clean. Fondant peels right off, royal icing cake decorations too. Nothing sticks on it, I love it. I don't have to buy parchment paper anymore..so it saves money in the long run. I also don't need to ever grease a pan with butter or pam, which saves more money. Saves time too, washing-pans only need a rinse instead of a soak & scrub. | What won't have to be done anymore with this product? | I also don't need to ever grease a pan with butter or pam, which saves more money. | For years I have seen this product in stores.

less than 5 inches X 4 inches X less than 1/2 inch high | question: How big is the digital pocket scale?, context: The American Weigh SC-2KG Digital Pocket Scale is one of the best purchases I ever made. It's even better than I expected. It's small enough to slip into my kitchen drawer when I'm not using it. It's less than 5 inches X 4 inches X less than 1/2 inch high. It has a 4 inch square weighing platform. It's beautifully finished stainless steel with 4 different weight modes, and a particularly easy to read blue lit display. It's so easy to use and store. I tested the accuracy with a 50 g calibrating weight - this scale is absolutely accurate to fractions of whole numbers. I would recommend this to family and friends, and the Amazaon price was marvelous. | How big is the digital pocket scale? | It's less than 5 inches X 4 inches X less than 1/2 inch high . | The American Weigh SC-2KG Digital Pocket Scale is one of the best purchases I ever made.

looks just as cheap as any other fan | question: How is the look of the fans?, context: I saw fans just like this (same brand name, same look) at the cheap big lots near me, but I went to amazon and spent a little more because this seemed to have good reviews, and I figured it was worth it to get better quality.The fan works ok, but it looks just as cheap as any other fan, so we'll see if it holds up. The most annoying thing about it though, is the base doesn't stay on, this is a terribly poor design, any time I go to pick it up the base falls off, and I have to grab that and bring it with me. | How is the look of the fans? | The fan works ok, but it looks just as cheap as any other fan , so we'll see if it holds up. | I saw fans just like this (same brand name, same look) at the cheap big lots near me, but I went to amazon and spent a little more because this seemed to have good reviews, and I figured it was worth it to get better quality.The fan works ok, but it looks just as cheap as any other fan, so we'll see if it holds up.

These are grill worthy but seem like they might have trouble with heavier items like large chicken breasts | question: What does the product have problems with?, context: If you've used the longer cooking chopsticks before these have a similar feel. They're metal with a heavy silicon coating. Multi-functional and agile, not clumsy like regular larger tongs. I tend to hold these with a more chopstick-like grip when working with delicate items as it provides more control and precision, such as stuffed mushrooms. These are grill worthy but seem like they might have trouble with heavier items like large chicken breasts, though I have not done a test of this. I find myself using these often for things such as stir-frying, serving noodles, handling scallops, and even chicken nuggets. I recommend these to everyone looking for silicon tongs when precision is important, build and material quality are excellent.I will update when I have used these for heavier items. | What does the product have problems with? | These are grill worthy but seem like they might have trouble with heavier items like large chicken breasts , though I have not done a test of this. | If you've used the longer cooking chopsticks before these have a similar feel.

it did not | question: Did the steamer save time?, context: I hate ironing and experimented between this steam press and theDeLonghi steam generatorto find an iron that might actually make it easier, faster, or less tedious. Alas, I have not yet hit the lottery. While the steam press did leave my husband's shirts incredibly crisp and looking almost like they were done by the dry cleaner's (there was also a slight crease on one side of the collar, created when I rotated one pressed side of the shirt so that I could press the other side), it did not save me enough time to be worth the effort. It took so much time to perfectly arrange the shirts on the board and spray down any deep creases with a spritzing bottle (not to even mention the fact that I would burn my knuckles putting my hand in there to re-arrange the shirt), it ended up taking only slightly less time to iron the same number of dress shirts as if I were using a regular iron. It was pretty cool though, that the ironing part was a simple push of the press, a count to 3, and voila! Ironed clothes! This thing is also a dream for ironing linen napkins, tablecloths, and flat sheets.If you're a perfectionist about your dress shirts, but don't have the time, money or desire to take things to the dry cleaners, this might be the product for you. But if you need to press large amounts of items, if you need to iron a variety of different types of garments (i.e. women's clothing or items with intricate designs), then you might be better off getting a steam generator.If you found this review helpful, please let me know! | Did the steamer save time? | While the steam press did leave my husband's shirts incredibly crisp and looking almost like they were done by the dry cleaner's (there was also a slight crease on one side of the collar, created when I rotated one pressed side of the shirt so that I could press the other side), it did not save me enough time to be worth the effort. | I hate ironing and experimented between this steam press and theDeLonghi steam generatorto find an iron that might actually make it easier, faster, or less tedious.

very dark orange | question: What does the persimmon color darkens to?, context: This is an inexpensive alternative to the higher priced French ovens. It is a bit heavier though, than comparable others. Unlike the French ovens, this one has little spikes on the inside of the lid which serve to baste the food as it roasts. They do work and when you open the lid, you don't have a lot of hot water dripping off of it.Just so you know, the inside is white and does stain. There is some product out there that would probably remove the stains, but I don't mind enough to have searched for it. After soaking the pot in soapy water, a baking soda paste and a nylon scrubber will remove baked on greasy spots on the outside without harming the finish. Oddly, the persimmon color darkens to a very dark orange with heat, but it returns to its original color as the pot cools. Turns out that that oddity has actually kept me from grabbing a hot lid at least once. The pot's outside is entirely enameled and the bottom is flat, so it could be used on a ceramic stove top without risk of scratches.It's a very nice pot. | What does the persimmon color darkens to? | Oddly, the persimmon color darkens to a very dark orange with heat, but it returns to its original color as the pot cools. | This is an inexpensive alternative to the higher priced French ovens.

toaster oven | question: what do they mostly use the item on?, context: After burning my hand through an old oven mitt at my parents house, I knew something had to be done to keep my sanity in check. I had heard about wood tools like this before, but wasn't exactly sure what to call it. Searching for the words push and pull, this inexpensive item came up and I purchased two.You'd think an item like this is something simple, but there really is a difference between using any old stick and this push puller of power. The notch at the end can push a rack without slipping, while the second notch pulls that rack right out again. No burns, no slips and certainly no mitt needed. I use it mostly for my toaster oven, but it works great on my large oven too.The ruler hasn't come in handy yet, but someday I will want to know how long something is and this will be ready to go. There is also a small magnet on the back so you can hang it on your fridge.

Civic | question: What type of car does the author drive?, context: 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. | What type of car does the author drive? | 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 . | 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.

huge. | question: how did the glvoes look when first opened?, context: When I first opened the package with these gloves, they looked huge. However, upon putting these one these fit my hands perfectly. Having said that, I have large hands, so someone with small hands might find these very large. These gloves are thick, but not too thick where you can't handle anything. These are nicer than mitt style gloves as you are able to handle things better with fingers. The silicone grips give you an extra amount of grip. These would be great for canning, along with already being great for grilling or handling hot items coming out of the oven. Recommended to anyone who cooks, grills, cans, or anyone that needs to handle anything hot or cold. I rate these 5 stars. | how did the glvoes look when first opened? | When I first opened the package with these gloves, they looked huge.

bag | question: What stopped smelling of vegetable soup a month later?, context: I bought this container after I took vegetable soup in its supermarket container to work, and the lid came loose. (My bag FINALLY stopped smelling of vegetable soup a month later.) It is great. I like soup piping hot, so I usually take my soups, beans, chili, and other more liquid lunch items cold, then microwave at work. However, just to see how well the container held heat, I did heat at home first a few times, and I was impressed with its performance. Even many hours later, my food was still hot enough to be enjoyable. The container is also easy to clean, absolutely leakproof, and resistant to food stains or lingering food aroma. Great, great lunch container. | What stopped smelling of vegetable soup a month later? | (My bag FINALLY stopped smelling of vegetable soup a month later.) | I bought this container after I took vegetable soup in its supermarket container to work, and the lid came loose.

(My <hl> bag <hl> FINALLY stopped smelling of vegetable soup a month later.) It is great. I like soup piping hot, so I usually take my soups, beans, chili, and other more liquid lunch items cold, then microwave at work. However, just to see how well the container held heat, I did heat at home first a few times, and I was impressed with its performance.

tongs | question: What did he buy?, context: I ordered these tongs to use on a buffet of appetizers. The tongs are decent quality, but they do not open wide enough to pick up most food. For example, mini quiches. I planned to use these with a tray of mini quiches (like the kind you buy frozen from the grocery store), but the tongs open only about half as wide as the quiches themselves. These tongs would be most useful for very thin items, like slices of meat or cheese. Honestly, they do not even open wide enough to use with a tray of crudités. The tongs are sturdy, but it does feel as if they might break if you tried to open them any wider than they already are. Overall I am happy with these tongs, I will just plan to use them for much smaller items in the future. | What did he buy? | I ordered these tongs to use on a buffet of appetizers. | I ordered these tongs to use on a buffet of appetizers.

green tea | question: What do they enjoy making?, context: This pitcher is absolutely perfect! I needed something for the green tea I make every couple of days, and was sick and tired of the staining on plastic containers. The plastics never looked or felt clean after washing, but this pitcher sparkles! I love the handle, and because I have small hands, it makes it much easier to balance when lifting the full pitcher. I have purchased other "Made in Italy" glassware, and find that the glass is much heavier and sturdier than typical houseware department glassware. Yes, it is heavy when full, but the cure for that is to use two hands! The lid is easy to operate and seals very well. The company took tremendous care to pack the pitcher for shipping , , , there was so much bubble wrap it would have survived if it had fallen off the truck. | What do they enjoy making? | I needed something for the green tea I make every couple of days, and was sick and tired of the staining on plastic containers. | This pitcher is absolutely perfect!

no leaking and everything was very well blended | question: How satisfied was the writer with the blender?, context: 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. | How satisfied was the writer with the blender? | I had no leaking and everything was very well blended .Owned it for one day, no regrets about my purchase. | I bought this last night from a brick and mortar store, I didn't want to wait for shipping.

got clogged or stopped working | question: What does the steamer always do?, context: I bought this to complement my Keurig and it is awesome! I love that it has 3 temperature options, that it gives you the option of warm milk without the foam, and that you can walk away from it while it's doing its thing. I just pour milk in, turn it on, start the Keurig, and walk away for a couple of minutes and bam! It's so easy to use and easy to clean. It's like having an espresso machine without having to deal with the milk steamer, which I've never had much luck with no matter how diligent I was trying to maintain them. The steamer always got clogged or stopped working. Anyway, I absolutely love this frother! | What does the steamer always do? | The steamer always got clogged or stopped working . | I bought this to complement my Keurig and it is awesome!

Different Flavored Oils | question: What can be put on them?, context: 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 use the Tortilla Bowls to make all kinds of Food variation Items, Mexican Tostadas, Small Salads and even Desserts. 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.

would give the CDN a 5 star rating | question: What rating would the author give the CDN if it holds up after time?, context: 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. | What rating would the author give the CDN if it holds up after time? | I would give the CDN a 5 star rating except I've had poor reliability on previous digital thermometers. | I bought this themometer along with a Taylor Classic to replace my old and inaccurate probe thermometers.

rotary | question: What kind of brush assembly does the vacuum have?, context: I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have. This little baby really picks up stuff that my other one never did. It's light weight, perfect size for a one bedroom apartment with a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, and easily glides from one surface to another. It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. Since I've only had it for a week, the test will be how well it works (has a 1 year warranty) in the long run, but for the price I can't complain. | What kind of brush assembly does the vacuum have? | It has a anti scratch resistant squeegee blade that picks up the smallest dirt on hardwood floors and the rotary brush assembly does an excellent job on the carpet plus bristles for the corners that more expensive vacuums have. | I bought this vacuum to replace another small one that I have.

crushed | question: Should the user put crushed or cubed ice into the blender?, context: ...... we found that it is not as powerful as we expected. The blender works better if "frozen" fruits are thawed first and fresh fruit, etc are cut / sliced into smaller bits and crushed ice instead of cubes. Harder items should be added first another with some type of liquid before softer items otherwise the blade just spins. Don't overload the blender! The blender does what it says it will do, providing you follow the instructions and enjoy "thinner" smoothies.

about the same as a microwave | question: How quickly does it cook?, context: 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!!

it doesn't | question: Does the paper towel holder topple over?, context: If a paper towel holder can thrill a person, this paper towel holder is as exciting as any paper towel holder can be! It looks great and is nicely weighted on the bottom, so when grabbing a paper towel with one hand in the midst of cooking, it doesn't topple over and create a bigger kitchen mess. The bar on the side also assists with one handed paper towel grabbing, but also keeps the roll looking neat and tidy.

definitely a summer weight | question: Is it built for the winter?, context: I purchased this item on sale from Amazon for 5.99 each. For the price, the product is just fine. It's not very thick - definitely a summer weight if you're looking for warmth, but again, for $6 I don't expect a delux blanket. We use it as a floor blanket to put over the cold tile in winter for our dogs. Folded in half, it provides a reasonable layer of protection from the tile and has held up ok after about 2 months of washing.My review of this item is very heavily based on the price I paid for it. The item isn't delux, but at this price point, it's perfectly acceptable. | Is it built for the winter? | It's not very thick - definitely a summer weight if you're looking for warmth, but again, for $6 I don't expect a delux blanket. | I purchased this item on sale from Amazon for 5.99 each.

nest the mugs | question: What are you not allowed to do?, context: This set is much prettier in person than in the pictures.The first thing you see when you open the box is the Use and Care Instructions which are positively ridiculous. Things like "Never nest the mugs", "Stack pieces carefully with protective felt pads or paper towels between each piece.". Yeah like the average person is going to do that. Get real! So it was with some trepidation that I opened the individual boxes to see just what I had gotten myself into.In actuality, the dinnerware is attractive and seems fairly heavy. I have some rather expensive sets that have chipped and cracked a lot more than I think this will. I am a ceramic artist and have a pretty good sense of the quality of a piece by the heft and manner of the glazing, and this seems like it will be fine. Of course anything is going to chip if it gets banged excessively into and out of cabinets and dishwashers.All in all I am pleased with this and expect to get good use out of this, or at least until I get tired of the pattern. :0) | What are you not allowed to do? | Things like "Never nest the mugs ", "Stack pieces carefully with protective felt pads or paper towels between each piece.". | This set is much prettier in person than in the pictures.The first thing you see when you open the box is the Use and Care Instructions which are positively ridiculous.

PHS925STSS | question: What is the model number of the induction range?, context: Not only are these beautiful, well balanced, substantial without being too heavy, but they work wonderfully on our induction range PHS925STSS Profile 30" Slide-In Induction Range PreciseAir Convection System Warming Zone. I could not be more delighted. My particular set has tight fitting glass lids (this was not an Amazon purchase) which I prefer over the stainless lids.One of the pluses when it comes to using these on an induction stove-top is that they are constructed so that the heat will travel up the sides of the pans also, thus making your induction cooking even more efficient.Beauty, function, lifetime guarantee, and great price(here at Amazon). | What is the model number of the induction range? | Not only are these beautiful, well balanced, substantial without being too heavy, but they work wonderfully on our induction range PHS925STSS Profile 30" Slide-In Induction Range PreciseAir Convection System Warming Zone. | Not only are these beautiful, well balanced, substantial without being too heavy, but they work wonderfully on our induction range PHS925STSS Profile 30" Slide-In Induction Range PreciseAir Convection System Warming Zone.

the base is really really small | question: what feature makes it take a long time for the water boil in this pan?, context: I ordered this saucepan because it looked decent enough to serve my purpose. The package arrived on time, but contained a return sticker. So I am not sure if this product was bought from a store and then shipped to me. Product-wise, this is an okay saucepan. Like many reviewers mentioned, the handle is very heavy. So the pan has a tendency to tip over when empty. It did not seem a problem when I have liquid in the pan though. The pan also gets stained very easily in my opinion. The main problem I have with this pan is that the base is really really small. Because of this incredibly small surface, most of the heat from the stove is wasted and it takes longer for the liquid to boil. I would not recommend this pan. you can find something better for similar or slightly higher price. | what feature makes it take a long time for the water boil in this pan? | The main problem I have with this pan is that the base is really really small . | I ordered this saucepan because it looked decent enough to serve my purpose.

measuring cups | question: In addition to measuring spoon, what did I purchase?, context: I purchased both the Pyrex measuring spoons and Pyrex measuring cups. I really like how easy they are to clean. There are no ridges or markings in the cups or spoons for dirt to hide. The spoon heads are very flat and wide and have a pour spout at the tip giving them a teardrop shape. Each handle is shorter than the next making identifying the size as easy as ever. I can quickly grab them out of the drawer and pick out the size without having to flip through a ring. The magnets in the handle are strong enough to keep them together when in a drawer but weak enough that you won't pinch your finger. The pieces effortlessly come apart. I am very happy with both my spoons and cups. | In addition to measuring spoon, what did I purchase? | I purchased both the Pyrex measuring spoons and Pyrex measuring cups . | I purchased both the Pyrex measuring spoons and Pyrex measuring cups.

cereal | question: What were the sliced bananas for?, context: When my wife told me she had purchased a device to slice bananas for my cereal, I was really quite excited. I have always felt strangely uncomfortable when handling bananas, though I do love eating them. However, when the product arrived I couldn't believe my eyes.

friends and family | question: Who has the writer been recommending to buy the wok?, context: Even with the great reviews, I was skeptical about using an electric wok. What a nice surprise! I am very pleased with this wok after using it several times. Meat gets a nice sear at the highest setting and veggies, rice, noodles, etc. cook nicely as well. I love that it's easy to clean and the optional steam vents on the lid are a nice addition. The finish is still perfect, although I cannot get myself to use metal utensils on it.

the Pacific NW | question: What area of the country does the user reside in?, context: 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. | What area of the country does the user reside in? | 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. | 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!

mattress | question: What was purchased?, context: I purchased this mattress mostly based on prior experience. I had purchased a memory foam mattress from Amazon about 4 years ago and it was perfect - and comfortable. I thought I was buying the same item based on price and description. I bought this mattress about 6 months ago when I moved. It's not the same mattress! As others noted it never expanded to the full 10 inches (mine went to about 9 - which is OK) but the lower corners (especially 2) of the lower-firm-foam didn't fill out much - the corners are only about 4 or 5 inches thick. This does not affect sleeping comfort and actually makes it easier to put the fitted sheets on. At $300 vs. $1200+ for local priced twin memory foam I suppose one can't complaint too much - but I would not have accepted such a defect if I didn't have to send it back - and that's not easy from Alaska. After sleeping on the mattress for 6 months it is very comfortable and still no "dips" in my usual sleeping position - but those corners still bother me every time I change the sheets!

slightly orangey gold | question: What color was the jar?, context: Like another reviewer, I liked this tool jar, but found it was not the color pictured; in particular, it did not match the gold Sorrento canisters and spoon rest that I ordered. The others were a fairly uniform yellow Dijon mustard color, as in the photos, but this piece, also described as gold, was more of a slightly orangey gold color, like the old appliance color known as harvest gold. Otherwise it is lovely and of a generous size. I am disappointed that I have had to return it. It would be great if the manufacturer offered a set including the canisters and tool jar, to ensure that everything matched. | What color was the jar? | The others were a fairly uniform yellow Dijon mustard color, as in the photos, but this piece, also described as gold, was more of a slightly orangey gold color, like the old appliance color known as harvest gold. | Like another reviewer, I liked this tool jar, but found it was not the color pictured; in particular, it did not match the gold Sorrento canisters and spoon rest that I ordered.

oil | question: how do you prevent bamboo cutting boards from drying out?, context: I ordered the second bamboo cutting board after having used a locally purchased one for a while. I find this cutting board just as good as the first one I purchased locally and it has the additional feature of non-slip rubber feet on one side. The addition of the non-slip feet is a plus. You do have to oil bamboo cutting boards every so often to keep them from drying out (Bamboo Oil, or butcher block oil is fine). They seem to have less problems with food stains sticking to their surface that some other cutting board materials and seem to be easier to clean. I would recommend this product. The product was delivered promptly and in good condition. | how do you prevent bamboo cutting boards from drying out? | You do have to oil bamboo cutting boards every so often to keep them from drying out (Bamboo Oil, or butcher block oil is fine). | I ordered the second bamboo cutting board after having used a locally purchased one for a while.

washed easily | question: What advantage did the author mention twice about this product?, context: The OXO Good Grips Three Ring Trivet Set is a functional and well thought out update to trivets made of cork or plastics, but is not as much of an improvement to the traditional design as many other OXO products.I do like the nesting capability and the non-stick feet. Also, unlike cork trivets, the OXO trivets can be washed easily and frequently.Bottom line: the ability to clean the OXO trivets properly is very nice. So I'll go four stars, even though I did not think "why hasn't somebody come up with this before" as I often do with OXO Good Grips tools and gadgets. | What advantage did the author mention twice about this product? | Also, unlike cork trivets, the OXO trivets can be washed easily and frequently. | The OXO Good Grips Three Ring Trivet Set is a functional and well thought out update to trivets made of cork or plastics, but is not as much of an improvement to the traditional design as many other OXO products.I do like the nesting capability and the non-stick feet.

Breville | question: What is the product name?, context: Over a year old now and used multiple times each day. I generally use one grind size so I'm not doing a lot of shifting between sizes so cannot speak to haow well the grinder holds up to constant grind adjusts.Love the design and it's very easy to keep clean (inside and out). A very well-designed product.Two negatives:1)The grinder *is* loud, but that's hard to get away from in any burr grinder this size. Fortunately, the timed grind of the Breville allows me to walk away while the grinder runs and then auto-stops.2)The grinder cannot go fine enough for either a fine espresso grind OR a coarse French press grind. | What is the product name? | Fortunately, the timed grind of the Breville allows me to walk away while the grinder runs and then auto-stops.2)The grinder cannot go fine enough for either a fine espresso grind OR a coarse French press grind. | Over a year old now and used multiple times each day.

plastic | question: What was the canister for the reviewer's old coffee press made of?, context: I'm not actually using this for coffee, I kinda prefer drip coffee (or espresso, but I'm too cheap to buy an espresso maker). I'm using this press for tea, loose leaves of course, usually blue flower earl grey or Irish breakfast tea, my two fave flavors.The great improvement in this coffee press, compared to the press I already owned is that this one has a glass canister part for holding the hot liquid. My old coffee press had a clear plastic canister, which meant that I could only use it for tea because using it for coffee would have made the canister smell like coffee and then all subsequent cups of tea would have tasted a bit like a coffee+tea hybrid, eek, that is a bad, bad combo.Like my other press, the plunger has a two part filtration system , they rinse off well for cleaning and make it easy to stay tidy (I'm a terrible housekeeper and easy to clean kitchen tools are a huge bonus in my mind). | What was the canister for the reviewer's old coffee press made of? | My old coffee press had a clear plastic canister, which meant that I could only use it for tea because using it for coffee would have made the canister smell like coffee and then all subsequent cups of tea would have tasted a bit like a coffee+tea hybrid, eek, that is a bad, bad combo. | I'm not actually using this for coffee, I kinda prefer drip coffee (or espresso, but I'm too cheap to buy an espresso maker).

steel | question: What is the bottle made out of?, context: I never wanted to be one of "those" people -- the ones who carried water with them everywhere, like a baby bottle, as if there is some need to never go more than ten minutes without a drink. But I have to admit -- it's handy. I especially like having one in the car.I like steel bottles because they are clean and add no flavor. But I don't like it when the water gets warm and in the summer, leaving the bottle in the car means hot drinking water. Yuk. So I wondered, there must be insulated bottles and sure enough found this one.Love it.It's a bit smaller than most, which I like (carrying 22 ounces of water or more around seems silly to me).The insulation works great. After three hours in a hot car, the water is still pleasantly cool.The spout is handy and flips open easily. It doesn't leak at all. | What is the bottle made out of? | I like steel bottles because they are clean and add no flavor. | I never wanted to be one of "those" people -- the ones who carried water with them everywhere, like a baby bottle, as if there is some need to never go more than ten minutes without a drink.

glass | question: What can mice not chew through?, context: We live in the country in an old farm house, and every fall, every manner of vermin tries to come in and make their home with us for the winter! I have found that mice can chew through every kind of plastic storage container, but they absolutely cannot chew through glass, lol! I now keep everything in these large glass jars, flour, sugar, coffee, chocolate chips, corn meal, etc. We have managed to run the mice back outside (for this winter, at least) where they belong, and because of these jars, my winter pantry remains intact!

very, very soft | question: How must the potatoes be in order to squeeze them out easily?, context: Never used a ricer before so can't compare the workability of this product compared to others, but this is not as easy to use as it seems. Still need to use a lot of strength to squeeze the potatoes through as well as doing it in many batches for 2.5 lbs potatoes. I was afraid the handles would break when I squeeze them hard. The potatoes have to be very, very soft in order to squeeze them out easily. Some lumps still remain. It's not too useful for drier, denser or more fibrous variety of root vegetables such as the purple sweet potato I tried ricing. Sometimes the mash pushes up the inner basket because the metal plate couldn't squeeze out the mash fast enough and that makes a mess. Finally, for around $20 (incl. shipping) this is rather expensive for a piece of plastic. | How must the potatoes be in order to squeeze them out easily? | The potatoes have to be very, very soft in order to squeeze them out easily. | Never used a ricer before so can't compare the workability of this product compared to others, but this is not as easy to use as it seems.

within weeks | question: How long did it take for item to fall apart?, context: The plastic binders are hard brittle pieces and the whole thing just falls apart within weeks under normal circumstances. I bought two and they both were destroyed in less than a month. Now I use the rods for scooping up items that have fallen behind the washer, knocking stuff out from under the sofa, batting cobwebs from the porch ceiling, poking the dog so he gets off the chair, changing the channels when I can't find the remote, "sword" fighting with my grandsons, staking vegetables and more. | How long did it take for item to fall apart? | The plastic binders are hard brittle pieces and the whole thing just falls apart within weeks under normal circumstances. | The plastic binders are hard brittle pieces and the whole thing just falls apart within weeks under normal circumstances.

1 egg or a hamburger | question: What kind of foods is it useful for?, context: This spatula is excellent for smaller food items such as 1 egg or a hamburger in a smaller pan.The front and sides are beveled to slip under the food easily. It has a nice angle to get into the pan properly. There is no worry about scraping the finish on the pan with the soft material on this spatula.I have only had this spatula for a short time now and have had no problems with it as some of the other reviewers have mentioned. I guess time will tell.It seems to be well made and comfortable to use. Glad that I bought it so far. | What kind of foods is it useful for? | This spatula is excellent for smaller food items such as 1 egg or a hamburger in a smaller pan. | This spatula is excellent for smaller food items such as 1 egg or a hamburger in a smaller pan.The front and sides are beveled to slip under the food easily.

There is no worry about scraping the finish on the pan with the soft material on this spatula.I have only had this spatula for a short time now and have had no problems with it as some of the other reviewers have mentioned. I guess time will tell.It seems to be well made and comfortable to use.

Had to return to get replacement. | question: What did the reviewer have to do with the product?, context: 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. | What did the reviewer have to do with the product? | Had to return to get replacement.

it did not shatter or even crack | question: What happened when the user first dropped the set?, context: 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. | What happened when the user first dropped the set? | 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 salt and pepper set is even better looking and classier than it looks in the picture, I am very happy with it.

I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented | question: How does the author know the product is resistant?, context: There are not a lot of products that live up to what you expect. This one comes darn close. It's a great size to take to work or an outing (It holds @ 4 normal sized cups of coffee). It's double-walled stainless so it's pretty indestructible (I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented). It doesn't leak if you screw in the top tightly. Fill it with hot water while you're brewing your coffee. It's easy to carry (I'm a woman and I can grasp and carry it with minimal issues). I actually forgot my thermos for a couple of days over a weekend and the coffee was still pretty hot even after 48 hours). It doesn't keep the java piping hot for as long as the description (I like mine pretty hot) but it does the job for a day of coffee at work. | How does the author know the product is resistant? | so it's pretty indestructible ( I've dropped it a couple of times and it barely dented ). | There are not a lot of products that live up to what you expect.

mushroom | question: What kind of soup was cooked in the pot?, context: Ten stars would not be enough praise for this cooking pot. I have had a lot of cookware. Expensive no stick that was absolutely useless. This is amazing. I wasn't sure about seasoning this pan but I asked here on Amazon and Pam said she just sprayed with a little Pam. She was right. I seared a pot roast, removed it ,deglazed with wine,softened some onions and garlic put it back in with some mushroom soup and put the lid on. The recipe was for 3 and a half hours. The roast (lid on) took a little over 2 hours and was fork tender. Cleaning was as simple as a sponge with a little Dawn. Wow. I've never had a pot that cleans this easily and cooks this fast. I will get the 5 1/2 qt next month and I'm looking at the saucier pan. I love the colors. This will never go in the dishwasher. I will always hand wash this which is not my usual move.(nails and all). It's a cooking pot of a lifetime and a gift of quality. | What kind of soup was cooked in the pot? | I seared a pot roast, removed it ,deglazed with wine,softened some onions and garlic put it back in with some mushroom soup and put the lid on. | Ten stars would not be enough praise for this cooking pot.

mail | question: Aside from food, what else does this person weigh?, context: I love this kitchen scale! I have never had a kitchen scale before, so I can't compare it to other scales. But I recommend that everyone own a kitchen scale, particularly single people and couples. It's just me and my husband at home, so I often divide recipes in half or in third. Consequently, I need to know the weight of 1/3 of a tub of something or a container of meat. Now I no longer have to guess the amount I need! We also use this scale to weigh our mail so we know how much postage to put on it.Great features of this scale:-It's light-weight and small, so it is easy to store.-It's battery powered.-It has a "tare" function, so you can put a bowl on the scale and then "zero it out" and weigh the food that you then put in the bowl. | Aside from food, what else does this person weigh? | We also use this scale to weigh our mail so we know how much postage to put on it. | I love this kitchen scale!

Bissell | question: What brand is the vacuum?, context: Well, I just finished the first pass of my home with this new Bissell. All I can say is I was AMAZED at what this machine pulled out of my carpets. Now, granted the fact that my Kenmore died about a month ago and I have been just getting by with an old Hoover Canister; however, this thing would suck the kernels off an ear of corn. Fantastic power & relatively quiet for all it does. Yes, be prepared to empty the collection canister frequently, but just looking in it will give you an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. It may also convince you that you are not going to make the cover of Good Housekeeping. Does a number on pet hair and my carpets almost look like they were shampooed. The Red/Green light is actually a cool gadget and pretty effective. I assume that my next pass around the house will not yield the same amount of dirt now that I am in "Green Light" status.Bottom-line: You cannot beat the quality & performance of this vacuum for this price. | What brand is the vacuum? | Well, I just finished the first pass of my home with this new Bissell . | Well, I just finished the first pass of my home with this new Bissell.

desk | question: What is the product being reviewed?, context: I received my desk recently and am pretty pleased with it so far. The real reason I am mainly reviewing this item is because I had read reviews prior to purchasing it where seemingly a lot of customers received the desk in a somewhat damaged condition...I am happy to report that I received the desk in perfect new condition, with no dings or scratches. I am very mechanically challenged and even I could assemble this desk in just under 30 minutes, super easily...Amazon is a very prompt shipper and this desk probably took a day longer than what I had expected, but that was no big deal and it is just as likely that this desk did not really take long.....is just that most Amazon orders ship really really fast.I would totally recommend this desk to a friend who wanted an inexpensive, very attractive desk without all the bells and whistles that tend to take up more space...A very nice buy overall | What is the product being reviewed? | I received my desk recently and am pretty pleased with it so far. | I received my desk recently and am pretty pleased with it so far.

happily suprised | question: How surprised was the reviewer when the sheet set arrived?, context: I bought a down-alternative comforter for my son. I decided to buy a sheet set to make a Duvet Comforter cover with.I let him pick out the sheet set pattern and he chose this one. I was a little sceptical in how the quality of the sheet set would be, especially if I sewed it together with a matching solid color flat sheet.Well, I was happily suprised when this set arrived. The set was of great quality and these sheets will stand up to many washings. The top sheet is now sewn together with a matching solid sheet to make the comforter cover, and the fitted sheet and pillow cases are great!Highly recommend this sheet set. | How surprised was the reviewer when the sheet set arrived? | Well, I was happily suprised when this set arrived. | I bought a down-alternative comforter for my son.

2 | question: How many negative elements did this person identify with the timer?, context: Purchased a different cheap timer at Walmart. When the timer went off you almost had to hold it next to your ear to hear it, never mind being in the next room. Ordered this one. 1st one I rec'd had a defective display that was missing part of the numbers. As usual Amazon was great on the exchange. The new one works great. Like the fact that it also has hours on the timer and can be used as a stopwatch. Only 2 negatives I have is that the beeping doesn't shut off on it's own, so if you're doing something else, you have to manually hit the stop to turn it off. I find that inconvenient at times, if only for a few moments. Also agree with a previous review that when mounted via the magnet, depending on how you push the buttons, it will come loose and fall. Could be better designed or have a stronger magnet to keep it in place. Worth the price though, as it is pretty well made and works well. | How many negative elements did this person identify with the timer? | Only 2 negatives I have is that the beeping doesn't shut off on it's own, so if you're doing something else, you have to manually hit the stop to turn it off. | Purchased a different cheap timer at Walmart.

Like the fact that it also has hours on the timer and can be used as a stopwatch. <hl> Only 2 negatives I have is that the beeping doesn't shut off on it's own, so if you're doing something else, you have to manually hit the stop to turn it off. <hl> I find that inconvenient at times, if only for a few moments. Also agree with a previous review that when mounted via the magnet, depending on how you push the buttons, it will come loose and fall. Could be better designed or have a stronger magnet to keep it in place. Worth the price though, as it is pretty well made and works well. | 5dd487a3cc027a086d65d54b |
they are delicate | question: What is the main reason that carafes need to be hand washed?, context: Not sure what the complaints are about but this little guy works as advertised. It light and a little thicker in the glass than my other carafe, still like both. What I like about this one is that the handle does not come out at 90deg. it bends down which makes it easier and safer hold and to clean cause it kind of hooks on your fingers as you clean it. Like all carafes of this type you should basically hand wash rather than stick it in the dish washer they are delicate and I think I like it that way helps keep me patient. I don't really use the lid. unless I have company, I make lattes 2 cups max no lid needed. The lid snaps in place with no problem. I will be ordering another one in the future because there are times I become extra clumsy. | What is the main reason that carafes need to be hand washed? | Like all carafes of this type you should basically hand wash rather than stick it in the dish washer they are delicate and I think I like it that way helps keep me patient. | Not sure what the complaints are about but this little guy works as advertised.

taste/smell | question: What is disgusting aspect never goes away despite washing?, context: So there was a big fuss about these being the greatest ice cube trays known to mankind on some consumer review blog that basically just regurgitates the content of reviews from Cook's Illustrated and slaps their name on it. I've never been particularly happy with any ice cube tray I've owned, and these were cheap enough, so I figured I'd give them a try.These trays will definitely hold water inside them long enough to freeze it, so in that regard, they are wonderful. In every other regard, they are exactly the same as every other ice cube tray I've ever used. It takes a lot of effort to push the cubes out, and you invariably end up pushing out more than you actually wanted because it's still a big, single-piece tray. I wouldn't really harp on that being an issue were it not for the emphatic pronouncements of Tovolo's apparent mechanical superiority in the cube removal arena--something I've found to be completely imaginary in actual practice. Where it differs from the rest of the market is in the size of the cubes it produces. More specifically, they're too big to fit in any glass I own.Oh yeah, and the disgusting taste/smell is impossible to ignore or get rid of. Wash it all you want, it never goes away.In short: People who call themselves "mixologists" aren't particularly valuable sources of information and I will not be basing any further purchasing decisions on their rantings. | What is disgusting aspect never goes away despite washing? | Oh yeah, and the disgusting taste/smell is impossible to ignore or get rid of. | So there was a big fuss about these being the greatest ice cube trays known to mankind on some consumer review blog that basically just regurgitates the content of reviews from Cook's Illustrated and slaps their name on it.

impatient person | question: Replacing the battery is not a good job for what kind of person?, context: You need to know that iRobot corp. makes it difficult to change this battery. After removing the screws, I found that the yellow battery case lid is glued to the bottom of the case. You need a couple of straight, small screwdrivers to slowly tap open the glue seam much like a diamond cutter uses a tiny chisel to tap cut a diamond. I had to tap the seam every 1/4 inch to break it loose. Hit it too hard and your cost savings are gone if you break the case at the attachment points - you would need to buy the whole battery pack - so only do this if you are careful and patient. Removing the old battery pack also is challenging if you are not the careful type as it is glued to the base of the case internally. Cutting the wires and soldering the leads is easy but there is no room for any other attachment method so you had better be confident in your soldering skills. This is not a job for the impatient person and you had better have all the right tools but since I am a nerd geek, I enjoyed the challenge and IT WORKED GREAT!! CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES AND KNOW YOUR SKILLS and if this sounds fun and challenging (like I do), it is a great way to save $40.00 AND set it up to do future battery replacements more easily. | Replacing the battery is not a good job for what kind of person? | This is not a job for the impatient person and you had better have all the right tools but since I am a nerd geek, I enjoyed the challenge and IT WORKED GREAT!! | You need to know that iRobot corp. makes it difficult to change this battery.

plates don't fit the Griddle all the way | question: Why did the author only give 4 stars?, context: I just used this for the first time over the weekend and it really worked wonderfully. I made gluten-free waffles and they came out like we were in a restaurant. My husband loved it! I will say I had to cook them longer that what the book that comes with the plates suggests, but no harm no foul. The reason for the 4 stars is that the plates don't fit the Griddle all the way, there is a bit of room between the plates and the base, which is not the case for the regular plates. So far that hasn't meant anything, but I've only used them once. | Why did the author only give 4 stars? | The reason for the 4 stars is that the plates don't fit the Griddle all the way , there is a bit of room between the plates and the base, which is not the case for the regular plates. | I just used this for the first time over the weekend and it really worked wonderfully.

red | question: What color has the reviewer order the product in?, context: I really like these, I ordered them in red. The color in the picture is very true to life. I am very happy with them. The only not so good thing is the rubber seal on the lids. I personally am using them for decoration and to put miscellaneous things inside them, I wouldn't put sugar or flour in them because the rubber seals are not that great, I actually removed them so I can open and close them easier. So if you're looking for a place to store sugar, flour etc., I wouldn't recommend them, but for decoration and to store odds and ends they are perfect. | What color has the reviewer order the product in? | I really like these, I orde red them in red. | I really like these, I ordered them in red.

It's pretty heavy | question: This device can be difficult to move up stairs because it has what property?, context: I hooked this thing up myself and I'm not terribly handy. I had a little trouble hooking the plastic pieces onto the hose but finally figured out they need to go counterclockwise. Doh!It works like a champ--gets my room cool in 20 minutes (about 300 sq ft). It's pretty heavy, which will be prohibitive to my moving it up and downstairs, but it's doable, if somewhat awkward.I love the automatic room temperature--the fan stays on and the air conditioner turns on only when needed. It has other automated settings I have yet to try but that look helpful.I love the remote! I can adjust it while still lying in bed.

gimmicky | question: How does the author describe the product?, context: 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. | How does the author describe the product? | This isn't the first product that I've purchased based on the strenght of Amazon reviews, but it is the most " gimmicky ." | This isn't the first product that I've purchased based on the strenght of Amazon reviews, but it is the most "gimmicky."

dish washer | question: how can you wash the grill?, context: I know a lot of people are comparing this to another, higher end product. But I am going to try and compare it to what most people have: a trust George Foreman Grill. My family has been using the Foreman for 10 years and I never thought I would get rid of it. Guess what went in the trash last week?I love the Big Boss grill more than I ever loved my Foreman and here is why:The plates: These easily go into my dish washer, no problem. And they come clean! On the Foreman it was always a struggle to find room and you basically had to scrub them clean before washing them.Folding open: The Foreman was great for steaks and chicken. This is great for a whole lot more! Anything you could make on the Foreman, you can make on the Big Boss. You can also throw out your dedicated griddle: just fold open the Big Boss and pancakes are just a couple of flips away.Cleaning: The Foreman was a mess. You could not get to the nooks and crannies just due to the way it was put together. The Big Boss folds open easily to get at those spots you were scared to look at on the Foreman.So why 4 stars and not 5? No instruction manual, and no waffle plate. The box said it could make waffles...how you can do that with no waffle plate is beyond me.Overall: a great product that I plan to use for several years! | how can you wash the grill? | Guess what went in the trash last week?I love the Big Boss grill more than I ever loved my Foreman and here is why:The plates: These easily go into my dish washer , no problem. | I know a lot of people are comparing this to another, higher end product.

Guess what went in the trash last week?I love the Big Boss grill more than I ever loved my Foreman and here is why:The plates: These easily go into my <hl> dish washer <hl>, no problem. And they come clean! On the Foreman it was always a struggle to find room and you basically had to scrub them clean before washing them.Folding open: The Foreman was great for steaks and chicken. This is great for a whole lot more! Anything you could make on the Foreman, you can make on the Big Boss. You can also throw out your dedicated griddle: just fold open the Big Boss and pancakes are just a couple of flips away.Cleaning: The Foreman was a mess. You could not get to the nooks and crannies just due to the way it was put together. The Big Boss folds open easily to get at those spots you were scared to look at on the Foreman.So why 4 stars and not 5? No instruction manual, and no waffle plate.

I make fruit shakes that have frozen fruit, including a cut-up frozen banana, and the blender blends | question: what are items that you are prepared ?, context: I am really happy with this refurbished KitchenAid blender. I make fruit shakes that have frozen fruit, including a cut-up frozen banana, and the blender blends it all pretty well. Occasionally it bogs down and won't move the contents. I usually blend the frozen fruit on low, and as I write this it occurs to me that maybe I need to increase the speed in order to move those frozen pieces to the bottom and get the blender going again. I'll try it. But over all I love the blender. Sounds powerful. Crushes ice into snow if you let it. | what are items that you are prepared ? | I make fruit shakes that have frozen fruit, including a cut-up frozen banana, and the blender blends it all pretty well. | I am really happy with this refurbished KitchenAid blender.

the ice cream never froze past milk shake consistency. | question: What happened when the bowl was kept in the freezer that is attached to the refrigerator?, context: I love this for making small batches of ice cream. When I want to make multiple batches, I use my full size Hamilton Beach ice cream freezer. This is perfect for single batches or small batches only. Keep it in the deep freezer, and it is always ready to use. I have had this for more than a year, and I have come to realize that to get the ice cream to the right consistency you must keep the bowl in the deep freezer. When I kept it in the freezer attached to the refrigerator, the ice cream never froze past milk shake consistency. | What happened when the bowl was kept in the freezer that is attached to the refrigerator? | When I kept it in the freezer attached to the refrigerator, the ice cream never froze past milk shake consistency. | I love this for making small batches of ice cream.

it's attractive and well-made | question: What does the writer like about the product?, context: I got this to hold heavier hardback books while reading in bed. After a brief trial, however, I agree with the reviewers who feel this bookrest is better-suited to holding Nooks, Kindles, etc. Lighter-weight books are OK, too, but unless it's a book that stays flat and open on its own, both hands are necessary to keep those books open. (I had hoped the trough or seam in which the book rests would help keep such books open, but it wasn't deep enough.) It held my Barnes & Noble Nook fine, but the pillow's angle just wasn't right for me, whether using it in my lap or lying on my side in bed. I think the angle issue is a matter of personal preference rather than a design flaw. A younger family member decided to keep the pillow and said it works well for her, both in her lap and in bed as she reclines on her side.On the plus side, it's attractive and well-made. The pillow is light-weight but not insubstantial or cheap in feel. The quality and design are good, but the Peeramid just didn't work for me. | What does the writer like about the product? | On the plus side, it's attractive and well-made . | I got this to hold heavier hardback books while reading in bed.

oscillate or remain stationary | question: What movement choices does the fan have?, context: I have used the big, round Honeywell purifiers for many years. This purifier looks so much nicer in my home & has such a small footprint. Comparing the two purifiers, the low, wide, round purifier & this tower, this is a lot quieter, easier & cheaper to keep the filters clean, & is a great fan. Using it as a fan is only a side benefit & not the reason I bought it. I only use it as a fan after taking a shower by moving it to the bathroom door & pointing it toward the shower to quickly dry it. You can easily choose to have it oscillate or remain stationary. Also there are 3 speeds. I keep it stationary & on high. As far as air quality, it is at least as good, but I think it is doing a better job. I can't be sure my body is not handling airborne contaminants better or that the air quality outside is not better, but when we have a burn pile outside, I have gotten quite sick before. Since using this purifier I have had no sinus problems, even when we are burning outside. | What movement choices does the fan have? | You can easily choose to have it oscillate or remain stationary . | I have used the big, round Honeywell purifiers for many years.

JetDry | question: what product does the writer suggest using in the dishwasher to clean the glasses?, context: I have gotten tremendous use out these cappuccino glasses. They are the perfect size for cappuccino, espresso or even a small glass of coffee or tea. The steal handles come off and go back on nicely and the glass is high-quality and very durable (never any chips or cracks and I use these all the time). These are dishwasher safe, however I recommend putting them in the bottom rack and using a little bit of JetDry with your cycle just to make sure they get fully cleaned and sparkle. Besides hot beverages, I have found other uses for these cups. I also use them to crack eggs in; they're perfect for holding at least 2 eggs because they are see-through and because of the slightly oversized top of the glasses which include an elongated lip. I have also used these glasses to serve mini parfaits in. I'm also very pleased with this set because it's at offered at a great value. | what product does the writer suggest using in the dishwasher to clean the glasses? | These are dishwasher safe, however I recommend putting them in the bottom rack and using a little bit of JetDry with your cycle just to make sure they get fully cleaned and sparkle. | I have gotten tremendous use out these cappuccino glasses.
