rice cooker
question: What product are they reviewing?, context: This rice cooker is a gem. I keep it on my counter because you can make just about anything in it. I use bulgar wheat instead of rice and it makes it just right. It also steams veggies like a pro. I have made soup in it that rivals any restaurant and also a cake. I have used all the settings except for the sushi button as I am not a sushi lover. This is so much more than a rice cooker and steamer. A regular "kitchen" all in one. Would not be without it and if it ever breaks down I will buy another one to replace it.

Pinterest
question: what website did they use trying to figure out how to make their spices look nice?, context: These were just what I needed!I have a TOUCH of OCD, and ever since Pinterest came into my life I have been trying to figure out how to make my spices look less trashy. This was it! They are the perfect size to hold a small bottle of spices, and they look magnificent!I have half of my spices in a rack on my fridge, and the other half in a drawer (this drawer is NOT large, I live in an apartment where they didn't think to leave a drawer for silverware, if that tells you anything.) These have been amazing!I bought spice labels to go on the jars and they look so classy!Buying these was a perfect decision for me, and I will most likely be buying more in the future as I keep learning more and more recipes!

keep the coffee hot up to 4 hours
question: What is the maximum amount of time that this coffee maker keep the coffee hot?, context: I did a lot of research before buying (we just had an expensive DiLonghi coffee maker die after only 14-15 months and they wouldn't stand behind it)In addition to the features, pricing and the fact that it's stainless, our main decision point for this one was the 3 year warranty. Can't beat it.We've been using it for about a month and we could not be happier!It's very simple to program and to operate. It makes really good coffee that's hot and stays hot -- the warmer plate is adjustable for temp, and there is a timer to keep the coffee hot up to 4 hours. Good capacity - 14 cups and also has a setting for a small brew; it's easy to fill and the pot does not drip (hooray!)Looks and feels like quality -- it has a sort of "retro" look that I like and looks great with all my stainless appliances. In short, buy this one and you won't be disappointed.

2 months
question: How long has the item been in use?, context: I've used these now for about 2 months now. When I'm cutting veggies, or chicken, or beef, I set the mat on top of my bamboo cutting board to work. They help me avoid cross-contamination between different kinds of foods and proteins, and help keep my cutting board clean. The color-coding is instantly identifiable, even if you don't see the picture. The flexibility of the mat allows me to cut the food bend the mat, and dump it into the bowl. I can't think of one thing that would improve these. They seem ideally suited for what they are designed for. I like that they have Microban and are BPA free (very important to me) and they are dishwasher safe and that they don't dull your knives. A must for everyone's kitchen .. plus they don't take up a lot of space.

30 piece
question: How many pieces in a set of jars?, context: I bought these because I do a lot of freezing of extra milk or fruit or vegetable juices that I make up. I wanted something that would give me a 'glassful' of juice or milk thawed out at a time. I liked what I got. I got a new juicer and the carrots that had been waiting for me to juice were going bad. I had a lot of carrots to process in one day and I needed to store them in the freezer. These were perfect! I got all the carrots processed and put in these little jars into the freezer and saved a lot of money by not having to throw out carrots or carrot juice that I couldn't drink in one day (fruit and vegetable juices that are fresh juiced need to be drank the same day if in the 'fridge.) I just finished off the last 8-ounce jar of juice today that I had stored in the freezer. I'll be repeating the process next week when I get more juicing carrots in 15 pound bags. I'm grateful to have these jars from Ball for all my freezer needs. There is also a 30 piece set of freezer jars by Ball also available that I will be buying soon. I found that when I figured it out, those would be more cost efficient for my needs. But these are great if you don't have allot to freeze. I highly recommend these.

its blade
question: What is the best part about the knife?, context: Well, I was skeptical because the price was so low, but this is a real knife.Pros:+ Blade incredibly sharp+ Sheath is solid wood+ Sheath fits blade like a glove+ Knife is light weightCons:- Handle is slightly rough- Handle is not solid wood? (wood fibre?)- Super-light handle throws off balanceThe strong point of this knife is its blade. It's made in japan and razor sharp. This knife is at least 10x as sharp as any knives you would find at your local department store even if you paid double the price. The combination of sharpness and light weight makes this knife incredibly dangerous, and coincidentally, really effective at its intended function.So, in the end, even though this knife is not perfect, it has quality where it counts, and the price is amazing. It is easily five stars at this price, and would make a great little gift for someone who likes to snack on fruit or vegetables, as long as their dexterity is good =)

strainer
question: What is the product?, context: Great strainer- an awesome piece of Kitchenaid accessories. It arrived a little dirty. The handles and bottom are rubberized and make it quiet when you drop it in the sink.The handles are great and sturdy, the whole bowl lining is thick and quality for your needs. It is dishwasher safe or can just be rinsed out.I love that it is not stainless steel. The handles don't heat up when you are straining and it is perfect. The one thing I love, is that it is a large bowl! There is no overflowing or spilling with this product- I love it! Glad I ordered it.

its a bit small
question: Why doesn't the reviewer use the product much?, context: I love the fact that it is 100% PTFE and PFOA free (no heavy metals or chemicals). I also love how easy it was to clean. I don't use this pan overly much its a bit small and I have a large family so I only use it for prep cooking :) The food I cooked on it came out perfectly and I love the fact that the handle never gets hot. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star review is because I did have some of my food stick to the pan so its not 100% non stick.Overall its a great pan at a great price and yes I would recommend.I was given the Green Earth Frying pan for the purpose of review.

It tells the temperature of any piece of meat I have on the grill
question: What measurement of any piece of meat can this product measure?, context: I am by no means a grilling expert, so I'll keep this short and sweet.Does it work, yes. It tells the temperature of any piece of meat I have on the grill. It also comes with a handy sleeve that contains a guide to how hot meat should be cooked. The writing on it is fairly small, so bring your glasses!Measuring- this thermometer seems to take forever!! It claims 5 to 8 seconds, but I literally almost burned my hand and dropped it in the process while waiting to read the temperature over a 400+ degree grill. It does the job, but not very well, in my opinion.

lifetime
question: how long is the warranty on this peppermill?, context: My wife and I have had this Peppermill for about ten years. Well, not exactly this ONE. We have gone through four of them in the ten years. Sometimes it sat in the cabinet for a few months before we sent it back. The peppermill does come with a lifetime warranty and Olde Thompson has replaced it, without question, every time the gears have stripped out. We ship it back and receive a new on in a couple of weeks. The cover has been changed since we first purchased it. Perhaps it was part of an upgrade. We have had our current one for a couple of years now.Other than the gears stripping out every couple of years, the mill works great. I particularly like it that the pepper comes out the top rather than the bottom. It doesn't leave pepper on the table whenever we set it down, like many of the bottom gear mills. The adjustable gears work fine. We have found that it seems to last longer if we don't grind the peppercorns as fine. We usually prefer the coarse grind anyway.
how long is the warranty on this peppermill?
The peppermill does come with a lifetime warranty and Olde Thompson has replaced it, without question, every time the gears have stripped out.
My wife and I have had this Peppermill for about ten years. Well, not exactly this ONE. We have gone through four of them in the ten years. Sometimes it sat in the cabinet for a few months before we sent it back. The peppermill does come with a lifetime warranty and Olde Thompson has replaced it, without question, every time the gears have stripped out. We ship it back and receive a new on in a couple of weeks. The cover has been changed since we first purchased it. Perhaps it was part of an upgrade. We have had our current one for a couple of years now.Other than the gears stripping out every couple of years, the mill works great. I particularly like it that the pepper comes out the top rather than the bottom. It doesn't leave pepper on the table whenever we set it down, like many of the bottom gear mills.

Turbo Tool
question: What is great for cleaning furniture?, context: This is a very good vacuum cleaner! It has lots of power and of course it is bag-less as well. This good because you can "see" that it work and bad because you can "see" how dirty your carpet is.It has many features I look for in a vacuum, number one is a loooong cord. I can use it to clean my living room and two bedrooms without changing plugs. It also has a long hose to get into those smaller areas, the Turbo Tool is great for cleaning furniture and the edge to edge cleaning means it gets right up the edge of where you are cleaning.When you are done, the Dirt cup releases easy and it empties from the bottom, so just press a button and all the dirt just drops out.The one con is that is it big and bulky, there are some places it just can't get into and it is heavy, so if you have a lot of carpet, it could get tiresome pushing this vacuum around.But overall, this is the best vacuum I have owned and definitely do recommend it.

in front of the TV
question: where do they frequently eat?, context: So convenient because, being stack-able, they take up very little room. The only thing I wish was different is that the holes in the salt shaker are so very small, I wish they were a tiny bit bigger. It's hard to get the salt out. Still, the shakers look have a clean, sharp look to them. I frequently eat in front of the TV so I have them on a tray right by the sofa where they are convenient. I taste the food sitting there and don't have to go back to the kitchen if I find I need salt or pepper. This is probably a use most people don't care about, but that's what I use them for.

I did not expect to take so much time putting them together!!! Seriously it took two people to do it
question: Are these nightstands easy to put together?, context: Seriously I shopped around for night stands that would look great in our room and wouldn't break my pockets. I bought two of these stands and received them yesterday. I did not expect to take so much time putting them together!!! Seriously it took two people to do it. When putting this stand together do NOT tighten the screws until all the outside pieces are on because if you do the last piece (front one) will not fit. It took forever to try and figure out the issue. While you are screwing in the screws someone else will have to hold the rest of the stand so it doesn't keep falling apart (because the screws weren't tight). This product looks good when its done, but it should have been easier to put together. OH not to mention one of the stands are wobbly; like what is going on! I shop on Amazon faithfully and I am very disappointed.

toaster oven
question: What product was the reviewer replacing?, context: So far, I've been very pleased with the oven. I bought the oven to replace a toaster oven that fit into one of those cubby holes on my counter with a door that slides up and down.. it had very specific dimensions that it had to be, and according to the website, this oven fit those dimensions. WRONG..... there are 2 little bump outs for lack of a better word on the back of the oven that prohibit it from going flush against the wall; therefore, it doesn't fit in the spot and I cannot lower the door. To avoid having to send this back at my expense, I have kept the oven and will just have it stick out of my cubby hole. I do love the oven and the broiler... I made the mistake of using the bun/bread warmer on top to put some chicken breast fillets that I'd cooked and while waiting for the rest of my dinner to cook, I put them in the warmer. The tray in the warmer does not come out. It was difficult to clean, and I wish I'd known that before I put anything on that top level other than bread.Beside those two things, I am happy thus far with the oven, but I've only had it for about a month. I'm hoping that since I am using it so much that I'm saving power since I'm not heating up the Jenn-Air.

That slight angle of the handle
question: What makes basting and scooping out grease easier with this spoon?, context: I bought this based on an America's Test Kitchen recommendation. I have another big, high-quality spoon bought at a restaurant-supply store many years ago, but this is the one I use most often. That slight angle of the handle really makes basting -- and scooping out grease from the top of a simmering homemade stock or stew, or bottom of the pan while browning something -- faster and easier. Nice to use as a serving spoon, too. It's well-balanced and has a quality feel to it that helps make cooking a pleasure.

remote
question: What part of this device helps the person adjust it remotely?, 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. Sweet!

oder from used oil
question: What about this device can potentially annoy others?, context: I choose this fryer due to it's ease-of-cleaning and it certainly was easy as parts are easily disassembled and re-assembled.The heating for me took approximately 15 minutes as advertised - sometimes quicker and sometimes a bit longer. The temps options are selectable between 300, 325, 350, to 375 max. The basket is easy to handle and clean. The timer was easy to set and very helpful when kitchen gets busy.My only complaint is the cap doesn't have an option to fully cover the oil. While the ventilation is key for steam/smoke to release if I desire to cover the frying, the issue is the times when it is not used and oil sits in there. The oder from used oil does get around the kitchen and may annoy family members sensitive to it.

this hasn't been "as seen on tv"
question: What is surprising?, 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.

They're metal with a heavy silicon coating
question: What material is the product made of?, 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 material is the product made of?

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.

cord is ridiculously (as in open to ridicule) short
question: What is the reviewer's biggest issue with the toaster?, context: I've has this toaster for about 5 months now. It is good for wide slices like rye bread, and it holds 4 sandwich slices nicely. It is holding up well to daily use and makes evenly toasted, predictably browned toast. My only grouse is that the cord is ridiculously (as in open to ridicule) short. The cord is made so short in their effort to make it "safe" that it presents it's own hazard. The toaster cannot be plugged in to the wall and still be out from beneath the upper cabinets in my kitchen. But that seems to be industry standard now, and it's a good toaster otherwise...the cool touch sides really are, which surprised me. You can put your hand on the side while it is in use and not get burned (of course do NOT put your hand on the TOP when it is in use).

vertical napkin holders
question: What kind of napkin holders was I tired of?, context: I was tired of the problems with vertical napkin holders. I looked at all the holders that were of this design and liked the looks AND size of this one the best.I will never worry about napkins blowing away again. Designed in the U.S. but manufactured in China.I recommend placing the napkins with the folded part toward the post as well as trying to grab the entire napkin and not just a layer when you pull it out.

question: What color is it?, context: I purchased these because I simply couldn't resist the color! I love them so much! I have a full set of Calphalon which I love too, but I find I reach for my green pans most often, mostly, I think because their cheery color makes me happy! They heat evenly and well, cook everything nicely and clean up very well. Sure they get food stains on their finish and on the rivets, but a little Bon Ami on a non-metallic scubbing pad and it comes right off and they're good as new! I cook a lot and I am very pleased with this set!

question: What color are the bags?, context: I bought these when I had a party at my house. These big green bags made it clear to everyone that this is where you put bottles and cans. After the party I've used these as my recycling bags that I keep in my pantry and garage. I used to use paper grocery bags, but they'd leak and the handles would often break. These sturdy bags are a nice alternative to my old bags and they hold a lot more so there are less trips to my outside roller cart. Overall a great buy.

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

question: What special offer for the filter is currently available?, context: It is very easy to use and clean. However, it does not fit very well into my Frieling Clio. The filter is too wide, so it sits too high in the Clio, and it wobbles around in there. That allows the water to flow through too quickly, within seconds. As a result, I have to use a great deal more coffee in order to get the cup I want, and it still is not the extraction I want. It fit a little better after I removed the handle, but it still is fairly loose in there. I may have to look into other filters or a french press.A good deal of "sludge" will get through, as well. I don't mind that. I really don't. In fact, I somewhat like it. However, if you do not want it, then you probably ought to look into cloth filters. I do tend to go with a fairly fine grind, so that exacerbates the sludge.The ad claims that the filter is "dishwasher safe." While the filter is fairly sturdy, I question whether it will survive through many times in the dishwasher, but that is purely my speculation. Still, I prefer to wash it by hand, which takes only a few seconds.In the end, this filter is worth a good try. If you like it, you can't beat the price for the quality you get. If you don't like it, you ain't out but a few bucks (so long as they continue to offer this under $5).

softness
question: What is unbelievable?, context: I like this pillow. The odor was very faint and I did not feel the need to air it. Like other reviewers have stated, it is longer than a queen size pillow case. Luckily I happen to have a king size pillow case that I can use. The included cover is also very nice and soft. The High Loft Plush is unbelievably soft. I was quite surprised by the softness and feel of it.This pillow compresses significantly. I'm use to sleeping on a low pillow, a memory foam contoured pillow, but noticed that I usually sleep with one hand under the memory foam pillow, perhaps to prop it up to a more comfortable height. I was hoping for more height and will be ordering the High Loft Firm to see if it will be higher.You'll love the high loft plush:1. For it's unbelievable softness.2. If you like to scrunch your pillow.3. If you're use to a low height pillow.

mold
question: What was used as an ice cube tray?, context: So, I bought this mold, to use as an ice cube tray. Also to mould some fondant for my son's lego birthday cake. So far I've only used it as an ice cube tray. The ice comes out looking like legos, but what I don't like is that the tray is very flimsy silicone. I'm comparing it to the ikea silicone trays, and ikea's are more sturdy. This is VERY flimsy, the water was falling as I transferred it to the freezer. I still love it because the ice comes out looking like legos, and my son loves it as well. But I would suggest putting it on top of a tray while filling and transferring to the freezer

question: How many stars does the author wish they could give this 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.

for white noise
question: why did they buy the humidifier, context: I bought this humidifier specifically for white noise and it does not disappoint. My husband snores. He doesn't just snore a little bit, he SNORES LOUD. I bought this to help me drown out the noise when the earplugs and snore pillows didn't work. It truly offers a soothing non-stop stream of white noise through the night and covers up his snoring which I find very soothing. Also, I believe the moisture in the air has helped with his snoring. He is not snoring nearly as bad as he was and when he does snore, it does not seem to be as loud.This humidifier really works to help with snoring. And I have it directly on the carpet and it never gets the carpet wet. Never. I do notice a more humid room, and the coolness it offers is soothing and helps us both sleep better.It is a great product.

It truly offers a soothing non-stop stream of white noise through the night and covers up his snoring which I find very soothing. Also, I believe the moisture in the air has helped with his snoring. He is not snoring nearly as bad as he was and when he does snore, it does not seem to be as loud.This humidifier really works to help with snoring. And I have it directly on the carpet and it never gets the carpet wet. Never. I do notice a more humid room, and the coolness it offers is soothing and helps us both sleep better.It is a great product.

timer
question: What doesn't the oven have?, context: Again, when I decided to look for a toaster, it must be practical and the price would be reasonable,too. I found this product which my husband liked, too because of the oven feature! The only thing is that they should try to consider putting a timer for the oven, like any other oven toasters out there for convenience...because you really need to watch over it while in use. Otherwise, for the first reason I bought it does a good job! It's a space saver plus I got a good deal on it since I used the "super saver" for shipping and an addtional discount if you spend more...$125 more so I decided to get other new appliances for my kitchen, I needed it anyway...

takes up less counter space
question: How did this unit compare to their previous unit?, context: After reading many glowing reviews, I decided to purchase the Ozeri Pro II Digital Kitchen Scale. It is very sleek and attractive, with a gleaming chrome finish, and takes up less counter space than my previous scale. I needed it for accuracy, since I do some mailing, but when I bake I often reduce recipe size and being able to measure with precision and accuracy is very important. I especially appreciate the ability to change between grams, ounces, or pounds with just a single touch, and to weigh as little as 1 gram. One reviewer stated they couldn't measure less than 10 grams with any accuracy, but I did not have the same experience, as I repeatedly measured 1 gram. Overall, I am very impressed with this scale and hope to get many years of usage.

question: Why was Honeywell called?, context: I called Honeywell to get clarification on their fans and was forwarded to the actual company who makes the fans. Nevertheless, the fan is rather loud and doesn't pack much punch. It's okay for a small room.

tea, loose leaves
question: What is the reviewer using the coffee press for?, 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).

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

blue
question: What color of mug did the user buy for their husband?, context: I'm trying to cut plastics out of our lives, slowly but surely. I don't like the idea of my hot coffee seeping in a plastic travel mug and absorbing those chemicals. This mug is metal completely except for the lid, so I'm compromising because the minimal contact with the plastic only while sipping is probably less dangerous than spilling boiling coffee on myself.Keeps my coffee very hot! Tight seal, no spills. I've even turned it upside down in my purse by accident when I was waking into work and no spill! My husband started borrowing my purple one because it keeps coffee so hot, so I got him a blue one and we're both happy now.

weigh packages
question: What do I use the scale for?, context: I love the fact that this scale goes up to 11 pounds and still small enough to leave on the counter. This is exactly what I needed, a intermediate size small that works without the fuss of standard scales. So far, I have used it in the kitchen and to weigh packages prior to mailing them. The instructions are a breeze as well as using the scale. Small and compact, works great and the best part was the price. Incredible value, it even comes with it's own batteries. Yep, I am more than pleased with this digital scale.

I have absolutely no complaints
question: Do they have complaints?, context: Bought this last fall. I really have enjoyed its versatility - but find that so far, I've used it mainly to make the expensive shredded cheese - which I then freeze. I've mixed smoothies, cookie dough and much more. We've chopped potatoes into chips, veggies, etc. I have absolutely no complaints. Love it.Update 4/2011: It has been used almost daily since we bought it. We frequently use the juicer attachment. We love this thing so much we are attempting to prepare for the inevitable day when we may need new parts and have begun to look for another juicer attachment (hard to find alone) and the main bowl. There is nothing wrong with them or the machine, but we just want to be prepared so that if/when that day comes, we don't discover it is no longer being manufactured. Love it even more than I did a year and 1/2 ago! :-)

cap piece on the top which effectively makes the top row of slots on the grater useless
question: What is the disadvantage of the feature?, context: First, I like the rubberized handle on top. It makes holding the grater much more comfortable.But, other than that this grater is actually really annoying. With the cup on the bottom the grater is unstable. Okay, so we take it off. Then the black base catches little bits of cheese and needs to be removed in order to thoroughly clean everything (and it's not as easy to pull that little black piece off as it might sound). In order to make the handle rubberized and comfortable, OXO had to add a whole cap piece on the top which effectively makes the top row of slots on the grater useless! When we're working with a block of cheese we want to start at the top and build momentum going down the slots to make grating easy, but that's just not possible with this grater.We'll be going back to our uncomfortable grater because at least it works without all these hassles.

adjustable frame
question: What did the user purchase?, context: I purchased this adjustable frame and the frame broke into two pieces in less than seven months. They obviously don't know how to weld two pieces of metal. In pursuing action on my warranty I find I will be without a frame for the bed for over two weeks at least. Leggett and Platt are not very helpful. Seems I need to wait for the parts and then arrange for a service call. And so on. I was told thatconsidering the damage to the frame they would probably just replace the item. Oh no, they won't. So I will be without a bed for over two weeks and then I wonder once they fix it will it be broken again in another few months. Do yourself a favor, don't buy this product.

12.5 inch
question: What size did they buy?, context: I was looking for a long time solution for my non stick skillet. My wife and I go thru one of these twice a year. I bought the 12.5 inch and using my gas grill and flax seed oil, put a non stick surface on the skillet that was the color of light carbon and tough. As long as you don't wash it with detergent or put acidic liquid, such as lemon juice, it will last. Metal turners, no problem. I liked it so much, I ordered one for each of my son's and two smaller ones for myself. Let me repeat don't wash, only use hot water and paper towels or plastic brushes, and no acidic juice. After each use, i put a few drops of oil in the skillet and wipe with a paper towel. It's ready for the next use.

pleased
question: How does the reviewer feel about the purchase?, context: These don't work perfectly for bunk beds as designed. I ended up looping the flap over the bar and pinning it with a safety pin to the bottom of the organizer. Works really well to hold books, book light, tissues and other small items for my older two, who are top bunk dwellers. My daughter LOVES it, my son doesn't use it much. Overall though I am pleased with the purchase. It was a lot less than the one bunk bed organizer advertised and with the safety pins, it works perfectly.

The pan leaves authentic grill marks
question: Does the pan make distinct grill marks on the food?, context: For approximately three years I have used this grill pan to grill indoors. In fact I used it once again to prepare our Fourth of July barbecue inside the house as the wind was blowing. The wind blows here a lot, so I've used this pan many times to get the barbecue flavor indoors.I use my high heat burner to preheat the pan and then grill steaks, hamburgers or hot dogs on it. The pan leaves authentic grill marks on the food. It looks and pretty well tastes like food grilled on the outdoor barbecue grill.The pan is very easy to clean. I let the pan cool and then add a small amount of water to it. I then simmer the water to help release some of the barbecue mess. I gently scrub the pan with my nylon scrubber and I am done.Great tasting food with a pan that's easy to use and clean.

Rolls Royce vs. a Dodge Neon
question: What Two car brands does the reviewer make a comparison on?, context: I've had it for about 2 weeks. It's made terribly. The hose broke free from the end piece on which attachments are placed. I of course had discarded the box by then, so sending it back would be a pain in the ass. Now I have to go out and buy some plastic weld and figure out how to fix it.Don't buy this junk. It just isn't worth it. I wanted a bagged vacuum so as to not have to deal with a dirty container, but I now use my Dyson instead and just clean the dust bin after each use. The difference is like driving a Rolls Royce vs. a Dodge Neon.

more positive
question: What does the reviewer wish the review was?, context: I wish this review was more positive, I really do. We have four dogs in our house and we purchased a new leather sectional. Our aim was to mostly prevent the dogs from scratching the leather. While these do an okay job of covering the surface of the sofa and protecting it - the annoyance I experience is that because it's leather these protectors more or less slide down if you look at them wrong. It would be awesome if there was some sort of fastening system involved as well.I imagine that you won't have this problem when you're using these on cloth as they will stick much better, so if you've a cloth chair/sofa then you'll probably love 'em.

it cleans the air plus keeps the humidity at a good level no noise
question: Why does the writer love the Pure Guardian?, context: Just love the Pure Guardian, just received the H4500 it cleans the air plus keeps the humidity at a good level no noise.It doesn't last as long as they say, and it's a little heavy putting a full unit back in the wht. part,but its worth every penny. The trick to these units I found out is always empty the remaining water left in the white part, use the brush and clean the disk w/clean dry cloth each time. I'm on well water. Originally had the model H1600- It stopped working, only a little stream of mist. contacted Pure Guardian since there is a 3 yr warranty. They gave me directions on what to do to make it stream better. It did not work, they replace my smaller unit no charge, maybe because I had only owned that one for 1 year, and was able to give them a copy of my sale's slip from Lowe's, Lowe's would not do anything about it.

It can blow cool air as well
question: Does the heater only blow hot air?, context: I love this heater as it can fit in any corner of the house and do the job of keeping it warm. The colour is great as it blends into any colour scheme and the weigh is great as it can easily be lifted. This is the best lil heater ever as it is also quiet and the light on top lets you know that it is plugged in or 'on'. The heater also acts as a fan wow! It can blow cool air as well as hot air. It has many adjustment speeds to suit your preference. And it really does not look like the traditional heater. The shipment speed was great from amazon and love this. Would highly recommend this item.

the see through lid
question: Name another thing the reviewer likes about the product?, context: This is my second T-Fal purchase, spend 6 mo with their cheaper model, and thisProfessional model is a pleasure to use. So many features and I'm able to use metalturners with this one.Only time will confirm how the anti-warp feature will work but meanwhile I'm a happy camper.I like the feel of the handle grip and the see through lid. I'll let my cast iron skillet rest for a while.When and if it warps, I'll update this promptly.Don't waste your time and monies on the cheaper models, I'm sorry I did.Good Luck9/21/13 after extensive use it has not warped and it's been through some heavy usage.11/25/13 and it will warp, lots of usage and it is warped, very disappointing.*** 11/29/13 *** after a call to Amazon got the number for T-fal USA then got into and endless telephone loop where you just listen to the computer repeat the same message 5 times, hangup- and rewrite my review, they are not specific about the warrant, so forget that and so I'm back to a clad stainless steel that I know won't warp. It was great until it warped and that was reason for buying this in the first place. So my stars go from 5 to 2 or 3, because you can still fry in it on a gas stove, and the lid works, it did not change when the bottom warped.MY advice move on don't waste your money on one that has no warranty department that you can talk to.I'll just donate this to Goodwill tor a tax deduct.

question: What was the rating for the product overall?, context: I have both a machine shop as well as a cafe, and I can vouch for this product being well made, for the most part.The canister itself is not just stamped, but spun then all threads are machined. These are very expensive operations and I am impressed with that arrived for a reasonable price.The charge cap is also made heavy duty, however, there is a pressure relief hole drilled at the end and the burrs were left inside. I know it is difficult to remove these burrs but not impossible. The hole is drilled in a corner and out of the way, but anything can happen which COULD puncture a charger accidentally. Perhaps this was just the one I got, but who knows?The threads on the canister was nicely machined, but there are a couple threads that look like before or after the thread cutting operation were done, the tool came down and cut away some of the threads. Only 2 out of 4-5 threads are affected which might mean the machine operator was able to stop the program before it cut all the way through. After examining the product, I wouldn't see any intentional purpose for these. This shows poor workmanship in the part programming and manufacturing departments, but doesn't seem to affect performance at all.Because of these two things, I rated this product a 3 instead of a 4.The trigger is a little wide and not too ergonomic but not horrible.Keep in mind that after the canister is charged, the first squeeze will come out a little watery and runny, but that may be due to the water from washing the canister before use. After that, foamed foods come out perfectly.Also keep in mind NOT to use 12g chargers. They are about an inch longer than the 8g chargers and won't fit the included charger cylinder. The 8g chargers are appropriate for this product.You may end up purchasing at least two of these, as you may want, for example, one for a mousse and one for whipped cream. Otherwise you will probably need to use up all your mousse, clean the canister and make whipped cream. This is my next step; order another one.

After examining the product, I wouldn't see any intentional purpose for these. This shows poor workmanship in the part programming and manufacturing departments, but doesn't seem to affect performance at all.Because of these two things, I rated this product a <hl> 3 <hl> instead of a 4.The trigger is a little wide and not too ergonomic but not horrible.Keep in mind that after the canister is charged, the first squeeze will come out a little watery and runny, but that may be due to the water from washing the canister before use. After that, foamed foods come out perfectly.Also keep in mind NOT to use 12g chargers. They are about an inch longer than the 8g chargers and won't fit the included charger cylinder. The 8g chargers are appropriate for this product.You may end up purchasing at least two of these, as you may want, for example, one for a mousse and one for whipped cream. Otherwise you will probably need to use up all your mousse, clean the canister and make whipped cream. This is my next step; order another one.
I have both a machine shop as well as a cafe, and I can vouch for this product being well made, for the most part. The canister itself is not just stamped, but spun then all threads are machined. These are very expensive operations and I am impressed with that arrived for a reasonable price. The charge cap is also made heavy duty, however, there is a pressure relief hole drilled at the end and the burrs were left inside. I know it is difficult to remove these burrs but not impossible. The hole is drilled in a corner and out of the way, but anything can happen which COULD puncture a charger accidentally.

twin 10 inch mattress
question: What size mattress did they have previously?, context: This mattress was purchased as a spare place to sleep. I was surprised how heavy it is. The shipping weight is listed as 33 pounds but my twin mattress weighed 47 pounds. A lot heavier than my previous twin 10 inch mattress. I think the addition of latex foam adds a lot of weight. I would call it medium firm as it seems to have the traditional memory foam which is not very soft like the newer open cell memory foam. My mattress expanded to 7 inches by the 3rd day. If your heavier than 200lbs I would recommend a 10 inch or thicker mattress. It's difficult to move from room to room because of the weight and the lack of rigidity latex foam has. I slept on it 2 times and it was comfortable enough to use occasionally. When I need to replace it, I will go back to the 10 inch open cell mattress I had previously. It was more comfortable and easier to move.I changed my rating from 3 stars to 1 star based on the fact that the fire proof cover is made from fiberglass and I have read other mattress reviews stating that the fiberglass breaks down and works it's way through the top cover. It can get into your skin and lungs. I am considering tossing this mattress.

recipe pamphlet
question: What came with the latte maker?, context: I got this for Christmas and I love it! The quick start guide was easy to follow and I had it going within a few minutes of pulling it out of the box. I was concerned that cleanup might be a problem, but it was really easy to clean with a soft dish brush and a little soap, just be careful when cleaning the frother. I had family over for Christmas so made a few different drinks. Being Christmas, I had eggnog so made an eggnog latte, then made a regular latte and after that I made a sugar free coconut milk peppermint mocha. I am no barista and they were all delicious and tasted like coffeehouse drinks! It also has a heat and froth function which is great if my drink gets cold and needs reheating. I also love that it comes with a recipe pamphlet. Now that I can make great coffee house drinks at home, this latte maker will have paid for itself within a few weeks.

very satisfied with this product
question: how happy is the reviewer with this product?, context: I have used this vegetable brush for just over a year, and it still looks brand new. The bristles have not bent or fallen out. It fits into the hand nicely, and is easy to use. The bristles are stiff enough to take care of business, but not so stiff that they rip up the skins on the vegetables. Because the bristles are not harsh, I also use the brush on my hands to clean off ground-in dirt or paint. Best of all, I can pop it into the dishwasher and restore it to germ-free cleanliness. I am very satisfied with this product.

Max Burton 6200 Deluxe 1800-Watt Induction Cooktop
question: What stopped heating and now only has the inside ring heating?, context: I bought this to test out induction cooking before purchasing an induction range top. I'm sold! I'm going to take the leap and spend the big bucks for a five burner induction cooktop. I wasn't sure what I wanted to replace my glass top range top with and I needed to make the decision before holiday cooking. I didn't want to dump all that money into something I didn't like and at this price this it was the perfect trial. I read the other reviews and saw there were some negatives, but there was one review from a gentleman that explained all I needed to know, so I thank you sir. All my stainless steel and cast-iron work just fine.Max Burton 6200 Deluxe 1800-Watt Induction CooktopIt stopped heating on the outside and now as only the inside ring heats I revise my statement and say, not a good product.

really like it
question: How do they feel about the product?, context: I bought this product a while ago! However, I just want to let people know, I really like it. I bought it to filter water through my emergency 5-gal bucket water storage contraption. Thank you, Youtube! Anyway, it does a great job of pulling out impurities in the water, and the result tastes great. In an emergency situation, like if there was flooding and possible viral water contamination, I might still boil the water to kill anything that miraculously slipped through the small pores of this candle, but otherwise, I would drink it straight after the filter. It takes out ALL sediment, so you will not be drinking any floaties. If the water was really dirty, I would pre-filter it through sand or cloth first before running it through this though. It is a fine filter, and would clog if challenged with too much debris.This filter required patience. Water doesn't pour through ceramic. However, that's why it works so well.Hint: I purchased two of these, and one was filtering water at a much slower rate that the other. So, I dried it out completely, sanded it down gently, and rinsed/wiped it down before reinstalling it. Worked so much better! I think that this process would be good as maintenance if the filter was used regularly.

I make fruit shakes that have frozen fruit, including a cut-up frozen banana
question: for what purpose the KitchenAid blender. used?, 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.

question: How does the water taste now?, context: We live in the so called "boonies" and have well water. I have installed water filters for drinking under our sink in our fridge etc....they just dont cut it. The water tastes strange....so I wanted to try something to let us get great tasting water and help the environment by not buying water bottles.....Brita is the answer.This jug has a sensor on top that will remind you to change the filter. That is one of the best features....another thing I dont have to worry about or remember until its time. The water tastes perfect to me in our home now and I have no hesitation in recommending this item.

Seventeen
question: How many settings does the grinder have?, context: Krups GVX1-14 Burr Grinder , BlackI bought this grinder to replace an old (25 years old!) Waring burr grinder. Was concerned about the height, but at just 10 1/2" high, it fits nicely in my coffee cabinet. Rubber feet keep the machine firmly in place when grinding, and the noise is not unusually loud for a burr grinder. Seventeen settings assure a perfect, even grind from coarse to powder fine. The unit is easy to clean and a small brush is provided for removing excess ground coffee from the hopper. My only complaint is that the burr must be removed and cleaned frequently, and this was a little tricky for arthritic fingers. Grinder can be set to grind for 2 to 12 cups of coffee. Has an illuminated off/on bean hopper light. Safety feature: grinder will not operate unless hopper and lid are in place. A good-looking, well-engineered, superior grinder and well worth the money.

Has an illuminated off/on bean hopper light. Safety feature: grinder will not operate unless hopper and lid are in place. A good-looking, well-engineered, superior grinder and well worth the money.

It shows no signs of age after using daily for months now
question: Is this coffee pot good for daily use?, context: Love it. Beautiful french press. Perfect size for either one or two. If drinking coffee alone, the amount is little enough that you won't waste any, and if you have a friend, you'll still have enough for the both of you. Materials-wise, this is perfect. I've had many french presses where the pressure of plunging spills coffee out everywhere and over everything. Not this one. The seal is good and feels well made. It shows no signs of age after using daily for months now.The one downside is that the press does little to no insulating, meaning your coffee gets cold fairly quickly.

Over 500 Ice Creams
question: How many ice cream recipe does the Ultimate Ice Cream Book give you?, context: Since I bought a set of these molds, I've made 6-8 different varieties, and they're all delicious, but as others have said, I'm learning what I like.The Key Lime popsicle recipe from Fany Gerson's Paletas is fabulous. It was my first batch, and it worked so perfectly that the minor issues I had with other batches came as something of a shock. I used Fat Free Sweetened condensed milk because that's what I had in the house, and it worked fine.Rules to keep in mind:1) if the mixture is slightly thick even before it is frozen, the sticks won't shift around as much as they freeze, so the top will be easy to remove. Mixtures that are cooked (custards, cornstarch mixtures) work really well.2) Not using the lid at all works fine, but you need to let the mixture get slushy before putting in sticks, or use something to brace the sticks in place as the mixture freezes. (I've used binder clips, but saw someone's blog using wooden clothes pins)3) So far, all the custard based ice cream mixtures I've tried have worked fine. Thickened with both eggs and cornstarch, (and a bit of guar gum, my addition) they have a good texture once frozen.4) I bought guar gum to use as a thickener, and I guess it helps, the plain fruit ones I made are easier to eat than the ice cubes on a stick I thought they'd be.5) For really rich mixtures (key lime pie popsicles), I find this portion size to be just a bit large. It really feels indulgent to eat so much. On the other hand, it's very satisfying, so I haven't yet bought any of the smaller sized molds I've seen.Kidco Healthy Snack Frozen Treat Traysfor example. Look good, haven't bought any, yet.6) Portion-wise, the recipes from Paleta seem to fill my molds with just enough, no extra. The one-quart ice cream recipes seem to make a bit extra, but I have a smaller set of ice pop molds, only makes 4, that works fine to hold the extra. (They're these:Sip-A-Pop Ices Mold Holder7) I put the mold on a quarter sized sheet pan that I've covered with foil. When I unmold, I put the popsicles on the foil and put it back in the freezer to help the outside set up a bit.8) I fill a dishpan with HOT water and dip the mold in that for 20-30 seconds before I try to remove them. For some ice pops, that's enough to get them loose, others need more persuasion.Favorite flavors so far: Mint Ice cream, Key Lime Popsicle, Roasted banana with cinnamon, rum and brown sugar, Fresh Strawberries with lemon peel and yogurt, Fudgesicles (love the one from Smitten Kitchen, the recipe is small, so makes just 4), Fudgesicles with cinnamon, cayenne, coffee and almond extract.The ones I made with plain fruit (canteloup, watermelon) were just okay, but let's face it, they're just fruit with a bit of citrus, basically frozen fruit on a stick. I guess I like my flavor blends just a bit more complex. I think the watermelon in particular could have used more thickening before freezing. As they froze, some of them settled out, ice on the bottom of the mold, foam on top.The Ultimate Ice Cream Book: Over 500 Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, Drinks, And MoreI'm looking through my old cookbooks for ideas, a lot of frozen desserts would likely translate well to popsicle form. The Fannie Farmer Cookbook (edition published in 1979) looks quite promising, as does this one:Frozen Delights

700 square foot
question: How big is their finished basement?, context: We have a 700 square foot finished basement which is heated by both forced hot air from the propane furnace and an 8 foot baseboard heater.The baseboard heater is extremely expensive to run in the winter. We were looking for an alternative which would still keep our play room nice and toasty warm. Since I already had one smaller Lasko heater and was thrilled with it, we decided to get this one on sale and give it a try.So far it has kept our large basement at 70 degrees and has not run that much even though it is really cold up here in NE PA.Now if the electric bills are less than last year that will be the icing on the cake. And I am pretty sure they will be, considering our baseboard is an inefficient killowat sucking machine. ;)Update 1/21/10The heater is still working well and has kept my basement at 70 degrees all through the cold, cold winter. We got our first electric bill with the heater running and it was about 20 dollars less than what it would have been for December 2009. (we are billed monthly) and that is with me adding 2 aerogardens and several plant lights to my electricity bill.One small issue is that if you lose power this heater will not automatically turn back on when power is restored. If you are away for the weekend and get a power spike you should expect whatever area was dependant on the heater will be quite cold.

China
question: Which country do they claim the item must be made in?, context: Unfortunately, this item has turned out to be yet another example of the poor quality and workmanship that has become the current standard. No doubt made in China or some sweat shop, this kettle burned out a year and only a few days beyond its warrenty. My last cheapy kettle is over 17 years old and my nephew states that it continues to work like a charm. But such quality is only a small reminder of what once was. I am informed that it would be cheaper to replace this item than to have it repaired. Not likely!

H96
question: What is the model number?, context: I have always kept a dustbuster in my kitchen for quick clean ups. They are always charged. Not with this new 18 volt model. Not only does is not have much suction power, you can't keep the battery plugged in so it is always charged and ready to go. If you don't use it for 4-5 days, the charge depletes! So then you have to recharge it for 14-16 hours. Not convenient at all. So I returned the dustbuster. I then ordered a Eureka that works great and can be left plugged in, permanently. The model number is H96. It is not as large as it looks in the photos and is a great buy; not to mention it costs less than the inefficient new dustbusters. The new dustbuster models are now just cheap knock offs of the original great machines. Black and Decker in their attempt to make a higher profit by cheapening a previously great product, destroyed a really good thing.I strongly recommend the Eureka below:Eureka Quick Up Cordless 2 in 1, 96Hproduct.

a regular cooktop
question: What is this product similar to?, context: This is a cool little cooking option if you have enough space in your kitchen to hook it up. It seems perfect to me for someone who wants to find out what it's like to cook with an induction stovetop without having to redo their whole kitchen. Our kitchen is a little small so there's not too much space to use it (but that's the fault of our kitchen not the product).I didn't find it to be any different (cooking-wise, speed-wise) than using a regular cooktop but it has the added bonus of being safer and using less energy. The touchscreen is really easy to understand and use and makes using this thing easier.The skillet that came with it is also great (but I'm not cookware snob so I probably wouldn't know "good" from "great" or just "okay").I really love using this product and have used it several times just for the fun of it, but you do kind of have to plan ahead to clear out some space for it if you want to use it. Also seems like it would be convenient for camping (if you had an electrical outlet).

This is a cool little cooking option if you have enough space in your kitchen to hook it up. It seems perfect to me for someone who wants to find out what it's like to cook with an induction stovetop without having to redo their whole kitchen.

The touchscreen is really easy to understand and use and makes using this thing easier.The skillet that came with it is also great (but I'm not cookware snob so I probably wouldn't know "good" from "great" or just "okay").I really love using this product and have used it several times just for the fun of it, but you do kind of have to plan ahead to clear out some space for it if you want to use it.

question: What materials of containers can be used in the warmer?, context: Great product! I have to say this lunch warmer heats food quite evenly, much better than a microwave. My husband and I keep stash of healthy leftovers in 2 cup round glass containers in the freezer to grab and go. These work beautifully with the lunch warmer. The night before, I choose lunch for the next day, put it in the frig to partially thaw and my lunch is ready to slide into the crock pot warmer once I get to work the next morning. No spills on the way to work as it is partially frozen, and the 2 cup amount is below the max fill line on the metal insert. I must say I am looking forward to our next road trip as I plan taking 2 crock pots, a cooler and an inverter to help minimize the monetary and weight gain expense of travel. I've read complaints about the cord length (3 ft), but any longer would make it awkward to wind and carry. Liked this product so much, I bought 7 of them as gifts, all greatly appreciated....even got a lunch text photo from my son, the engineer and a big thank you from my Marine! Enjoy
