However, the cardboard separators between the bottom and the lid were not secured in place, so during shipment, they slipped into the bottom, and the lid wore the coating right off of the pan. Now I have a brand new item that will rust whenever I use it for anything. This company has no business being in internet sales if they do not choose to protect their product in shipment.』
(Xtra Lg rectangular covered roaster - Made in Mexico!) 『REAL Granite Ware is made in the USA! The quality problems reported by other reviewers on this roaster (sharp edges, poor lid handle, thin material) are due to the fact that it is made in MEXICO for Columbia Home Products of Indiana (as is the rack for it.) Rack: Granite Ware 13.5 Inch V-Rack. This rack does NOT FIT any other Granite Ware roasters that Amazon carries - even tho it is short in length, it only fits this 21" roaster.』
(poor lid handle design) 『Lid handles do not clear the bottom part of the roaster properly, causing scraping and chipping of the enamel along the edge as well as poor seating! What's with the angled handles anyway???』
(service on roaster) 『I cannot yet rate this product. I ordered it for my daughter about 8 weeks ago and she still hasn't received it. I'm very disappointed and will not order from here again.』
(Just Right) 『It works out well for us. It's a fairly large pan that's used for multiple purposes. Outside of its use for the yearly Thanksgiving turkey and dressing of our medium sized family (four), it also accommodates our baked and barbecued chickens. 』 『Six generations of Americans have been cooking their Thanksgiving turkeys and traditional hams and roasts in a Granite Ware roaster and for good reason - It cooks faster and more evenly than other roasters. The dark porcelain surface and steel core absorb the oven;s energy and evenly distribute it to the contents. Each roasting pan and it's handles are designed to accomodate the weight of the ingredients - much safer than foil. And, Granite Ware roasters clean up easily - just fill it with warm water and a little soap and food particles will wipe clean.The construction is porcelain fired at 1500 degrees to the carbon steel core. The result is a roaster than heats rapidly, is easy to clean and has an inert glass surface that won't discolor or alter the taste of food . The 21-1/4 x 14-1/8x 8-1/2Inch covered rectangular roaster holds 22 pounds poultry or 25 pounds roast.Made in the USA』

If the knife is dull it will take more than a few swipes to get the edge back. But after several passes through the first groove it was obvious the edge was back. Then a few passes through the second groove honed it, and we have sharp knives again. We will continue to use groove #2 (ceramic) to keep the edge on the knives and extend their life.』
(Great sharpener) 『Purchased this product on the advice of my son-in-law and it works with ease. I love the portability and ease. Not like those electric sharpeners that grind up your blades.JJust a few swipes and the knife is good to go!! I would very strongly recommend this product!!』
(Dullness no more) 『Simple product that works great. We wish we had found this long ago. My wife was very grateful for this surprise gift.』
(Respectable Sharpener) 『My Henckel knives were dull ... make that VERY dull. I made multiple passes with each knife through the two slots on this sharpener. It took many more passes than the five recommended in the instruction sheet, but the knives got sharper with every pass. Considering how dull they had become, I think the Twin Sharp Duo did an admirable job of bringing my knives back to a point where it's a pleasure to use them again.
Another plus is that the sharpener's rubber feet did an excellent job of keeping it stable while sharpening the knives.』
(Perfect) 『This is exactly what I needed. It sharpens the knives to almost new condition. Can't beat the price!』 『Whether your blades need a complete sharpening or just a touch-up, this dual-module manual sharpener from cutlery masters, Henckels, will accommodate all your needs. It features a steel roller module for dull blades and ceramic roller module for fine sharpening, all wrapped up in a timeless stainless steel design. Ambidextrous usage; large-handled; rubber feet grip counter surface. Lifetime warranty.』 『Henckels Twin Sharp Duo knife sharpener is suitable for all knives with a fine edge, with the exception of coated knives. The stainless-steel sharpener comprises two modules, which are marked on the sharpener. The first module features steel wheels for coarse sharpening and presharpening, and the second module uses ceramic wheels for fine sharpening and smoothing. This sharpener works well for both right- and left-handed people, features rubber feet so it won't skid on the countertop, and measures approximately 8 inches across and 3 inches tall, so you can store it in a drawer or display it in a small space. To use, place the knife sharpener on a flat surface, pressing down slightly with one hand. Draw the knife blade with a little pressure towards yourself, repeating up to five times for the dullest blades. For very blunt knives, use the first module and then the second. Knives with a bit of bluntness may require only the first module to bring back the original sharpness. Check the results by cutting into a sheet of paper.』

(The best pastry blender on the market) 『If your budget can't afford a food processor, this is the next best thing.

Looks soooo much nicer and holds at least 4 times more, but not huge and out of place. This also keeps the smell out and most of the annoying fruit flies. I wish I could of found it in brushed nickel, to match my kitchen, but still very nice! I would recommend this product. And they were cheaper for the same product......』
(Poorly designed) 『Used this item for about 3 months. One day, after rinsing, I grabbed the metal handle without realizing it had lost its "connection" and the 2-piece compost keeper became a 100-piece compost keeper. Worked as expected prior to that. A definite design flaw. I feel I wasted $20.』
(small ceramic composter) 『I got this for my wife because she composts for her vegetable garden. As you would expect because of its small size it fills up quickly. The filter must work 'cause I don't smell anything but the fruit flies do.』
(Great counter composter) 『This does exactly what it should. It is great for the counter and since i cook a great deal I an immediately put my compost into the keeper. It is easier than having to use the one outside.』
(Condider design issues before you buy this one) 『Others have commented on problems with the handle and the weight of this item. I agree. In addition, the plastic lid gasket would not stay on, and we quickly lost it despite efforts to keep track of it. (It's now somewhere in compost heaven but may reappear in the pile next spring.) The gasket helped to keep the item tightly closed and air penetrating only through the filtered holes. When this breaks (and it will), I'll get something else--most likely from another manufacturer. Until then, I'll use it cheerfully but carefully.』 『Norpro 10" ceramic compost keeper. Store peelings, egg shells, coffee grounds and vegetable scraps for transfer to your garden composter.

(wonderful birthday) 『This was a birthday gift for my daughter. She is thrilled with the kitchen aid mixer as she bakes a lot with her children.』
(A piece of junk to avoid) 『After 18 months of occasional use the mixer died in a show of smoke and sparks. Kitchenaid says the warranty is 12 months, so "tough luck".』
(I love this machine) 『I really do love this machine. I talked my aunt into buying one for me for a wedding present. Needless to say, the mixer has lasted longer than my marriage. I haven't gotten any of the fancy attachments or extras. I just have the bowl, and the three basic attachments (paddle, whisk, and bread hook). Addmittedly, I think I've only used the bread hook a few times. I have a bread machine, so I just don't need to use it. However, the mixer has enabled me to make hundreds and hundreds of cookies every winter holiday season. I also use it to make mashed potatoes and massive amounts of zucchini bread (you know,from those monster zucchini that get away from you in the garden). As a matter of fact, my mixer has helped to make my reputation of being an above average baker. My mixer has never let me down. It is heavy enough to mix the really tough doughs and fast enough to whip up egg whites. My only complaint is that the little handles on the "lock" and "speed" switches fell off almost immediatly. Not a big deal, but slightly irritating.』
(Buy at own risk!) 『I received this mixer for a wedding gift almost 8 years ago. I used it very little in the first years, just cookies maybe once a month. From the day I opened it, it made a "weird" noise when in use but because it was so infrequent I often forgot about it until I used it again, finally realizing my warranty (VERY short at only a year!) was up. I decided to just use it until it died. It is still going but has been leaking oil/grease for sometime, today deciding to spew grease in my cheesecake. :( I went online to see why it was doing this only to find TONS of horrible reviews of similar situations and breaking mixers and horrible customer service. If it's after a year it isn't their problem it seems. I think when you pay hundreds of dollars for a product it should come with some sort of care. Unfortunately KA has fallen in the last few years, no longer is it the product we will pass on to our children and grandchildren. So sad. I won't be buying another one when this one dies for good. I will go with Cuisinart or Viking.』 『This model comes with three attachments: a flat beater for making batter, meat loaf, and all textures in-between; a wire whip for egg whites, mayonnaise, and more air-infused creations; and a hook for mixing and kneading yeast doughs. All three are solid in construction and easily secured to the beater shaft with a simple twist; untwisting them is a bit trickier because the attachment stems are short and can be hard to grasp, especially if they get the least bit greasy. The bowl itself locks tight to the base.』 タイトル『 Haier TST850DS Die-Cast Stainless-Steel 2-Slice Toaster >

Haier
Usually ships in 4 to 6 weeks Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (I put 2 slices (sandwich) in a single slot) 『This toaster is pretty reliable, and most importantly predictable. If you tried a setting and it worked, then it will give you the same result every time you try it again, considering the same type of bread of course. I live in a dormitory and don't have a toaster oven, so I had to be a bit creative to make my toasted melted cheese sandwiches. What I do is, I put the cheese toast sandwich in the microwave for about 30 secs, then put all of it in one slot of the toaster. Luckily the slots are wide enough for it to fit without being squeezed. I also put a small piece of aluminum foil beneath the sandwich to avoid the melted cheese dripping onto the toaster base, but this rarely ever happens because the two bread slices will be slightly compressed once the thing is turned on. Still you have to put it for safety. I also put an aluminum foil vertically in the other slot to block the heat from that slot from burning the sandwich side facing it. This foil should be slightly larger than the sandwich size. Putting the heat setting on 1.5 is enough since the bread will already be hot from the microwave. More than that and you'll have burned sides. It sounds complicated but is actually pretty fast and straight forward. It's a good way to make your ham and cheese sandwich on a low budget in a space constrained environment such as a dorm room.』
(Great Toaster) 『Plain, simple, straight forward - this toaster is now a member of our family. The Haier does what it should do, each and every time. Dependable.』
(Customer Service is a JOKE) 『My unit broke with less than one year of use.
I contacted their customer service 3 times, sent 3 emails using their web site (there is no phone number) and none of my emails got a reply.
In terms of services and support, this company is a joke.』
(Haier 2 slice/wide slot toaster) 『At first we were not impressed because we did buy a lower priced toaster after all.
After toasting quite a few bagels in this Haier I have to change and admit it does a fine job.
I would replace it with the same model immediately if this one goes on the fritz.』
(yes, finally a working toaster) 『We've bought a bunch, and some little plastic part would break and we'd buy another. This one is solid, dependable, and we're very pleased wih the purchase.』 『2-slice toaster with extra-wide slots has plenty of room for thick breads Bagel function browns just right Features commercial-quality die cast construction Slide-out crumb tray makes cleanup easy』

(Very pleased with our knives!) 『My boyfriend and I are setting up our first post-college kitchen and picked these knives as a nice mid-range option. We've been very happy with them, especially the hollow-edged santoku. Unlike some of the other reviewers we haven't had any problems with rust; when the knives are washed and dried promptly, it's really not an issue. The only caveats we have are that the handles are a little light (but you get used to that, and the quality of the blade is what matters) and that the steak knives are not that useful, partly because they're not serrated, mostly because we don't eat steak. I could also wish for another paring knife, but that's a very minor complaint. 4-5 stars - I'd've done 4 1/2 if I could.』
(avoid this set) 『We've bought this set for our new house. After couple of washes in dishwasher blades developed rusted spots and tips broke off. Very bad quality. Our IKEA set was much more durable (over 5 years of use)』
(As advertised) 『The J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Synergy 17-Piece Block Set provides good quality cutlery for a phenomenally good price. Henckels has better, and far more expensive knives, but the value with this set is hard to beat.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Pleasantly surprised) 『I held off on ordering this model primarily based upon some of the comments regarding noise level, since I tend to be more sensitive to noise than most. While I'm not saying it's quiet (are there any good blenders that are?), I was pleasantly surprised by not having to so much as consider earplugs as a necessary accessory when using it to make a slushie, which it did in no time flat. This machine is fearless when it comes to making snow out of ice cubes, even with very little liquid as a buffer. When it comes to something without any frozen components, the noise level is, of course, much less. It's nice looking, sturdy, powerful, easy to clean, easy to use, and grips the counter like a champ even during the most demanding tasks. I almost paid ten times this much for blender when I decided to take a gamble on this one. It was a good decision :)』
(Defective Blender) 『After two uses the Oster Pro Blender is total junk; leaking water from pitcher bearing into the motor compartment destroying the motor. Warranty policies are deceptive and evasive that such a disreputable company as Better Chef Direct shouldn't be allowed to advertise on Amazon.』
(Great deal, a real workhorse) 『This blender was a great buy for my husband and me. We make smoothies every day, and our old Osterizer from the 70's was starting to give out on us. We wanted a blender that could take our abuse and also be compatible with our old blender's jar. This blender can crush ice and whip up a smoothie or milkshake in no time, and without having to scrape the sides down during blending like other blenders. We've also made marinades and sauces in it, and they have blended beautifully. I don't know why other reviewers have called this a "loud" blender, because it's just as loud as any other blenders I have heard. The only thing that would make this blender better would be if the base were all-metal instead of die-cast. But even though it is die-cast it is heavy enough to stay still on the counter while blending.』
(Oster BPST02-B) 『I've had this blender for more than a month and it's wonderful. It not only makes perfect smoothies but it makes great bread crumbs too. I know there were some complaints about noise, but it works so fast you barely have time to hear it. And it's easy to clean. A+』
(Outstanding Blender at a Great Price) 『This blender is outstanding especially for the price point it is at. We make smoothies all the time with it. If you like to make smoothies, I would recommend this blender.』 『The Beehive Professional Series Blender is the ultimate bar blender machine. It is a must have for those who enjoy entertaining and being king of the bar. The black matted fingerless print base finish helps give it that rugged but reformed classic Oster design. The signature base is equipped with an upgraded commercial size toggle switch that controls and the simplicity of 2 speeds. The 1/2 horsepower motor is the most powerful Oster available. The revolutionary ice crusher blade blends ingredients to perfect mixes every time. The new an improved over sized rubber feet, under the base, not only gives the blender that massive look, but keeps the blender motionless during cycles. Last, Oster will outlast any other blending competition with the only all metal drive system in its category.』

My poor daughter has been married now for three months and is shipping it back to Amazon. The only thing it is good for is boiling water. She is a great cook and the cookware burns everything she cooks. She has tried lower temperatures since she is used to cooking on gas at my home and now has electric. I does not make a difference. She says it is like cooking on tin foil. I knew that Farberware makes cheap products but I thought they were revamping their image with the eco friendly line. It seemed like an upscale version of their other cookware. Not so. It is the same quality. The Consumer Reports Best Buy category means nothing to me now. The proof is in the burnt pudding. We will return this and pay more for Calphalon.』

(Best set I ever had) 『I read about this set of pans at Consumer Report and they gave an excellent review of if. I have owned it for about 2 months now and love it! It looks great and most important, IT IS VERY, VERY AND VERY EASY TO CLEAN. Nothing will stick to it. I made some rice and on purpose I left the pan on the stove much longer than necessary and it did not stick nor burn. I do take good care of it. I only use bamboo utensils or plastic and I wash it by hand (so easy you don't need a dishwasher) and I use a soft sponge. I just wish they would sell separate pots and pans of it. So far the only pan sold separately is the big skillet, which I bought it too. I would love to have an extra dutch oven but I don't think they sell it separately. I guess I'll just have to by another set. Anyway, I loved this set and my husband did too.

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Many uses, easy cleanup) 『In addition to being dripless, this baster comes apart easily for cleaning in the dishwasher, so I know it's not harboring any residue from last use. The tip unscrews and fits over a dishwasher spindle, the tube fits over another and the bulb fits over a third. I have confidence that it's really clean before I put it away. The other basters I've had didn't come fully apart, so although I put them in the dishwasher, I never felt comfortable that they were really clean inside.
I'm very pleased with this baster and find I use it more often because I know it's easy to clean thoroughly each time. If I overwater a plant I can suck the extra water out of the saucer, for example. If I've stored a mixed salad in the fridge that has developed some 'juice' at the bottom, I can suck it out. I like to extract pickle or olive juice out of the jar sometimes to add to salad dressings I'm making--easier with this gadget than tipping the jar and holding back the contents while I pour. I find lots of uses now since I'm confident about getting it really clean. A great kitchen tool. 』
(Great baster Great price!) 『This baster is fantastic. I always have problems with basters melting, not with this one. It's sturdy and easy to clean. It even comes with an extra tip.』
(Finally one that works) 『I have used a bazillion basters over the years and was never happy with any of them . They either dripped, would not hold liquids or the bulb would quit working. This is a great baster.Works like a champ! It even comes with a brush to wash it with and an extra tip. If you cook alot and needa baster I highly recomend this one . It does what you expect a baster to do !! Reasonable priced.』
(Excellent baster!!!!!) 『This is the best baster! The bulb didn't get hot with the hot liquid inside, it held the liquid perfectly for basting!』
(Great idea and it even works!) 『Amazing kitchen gadget. I bought it on impulse while I was at Sur La Table before Thanksgiving. I received a fresh-fresh-fresh turkey this year, which would be far leaner than turkeys I've purchased and roasted in the past and I haven't seen hide nor hair of my baster in years. I wanted to make sure I didn't ruin this wonderful bird by letting it get dried out and thought I'd give the dripless baster a shot. I paid $10 for it and would gladly go back and pay that again. I'm thinking of getting a couple for Christmas gifts for foodie friends, they'll love it too. Highly recommended, I don't know how I've lived without one of these!』 『This Tovolo Clear Drip less Baster features a clear, see-through cylinder, allowing you to view the volume of juice inside.
