Oxo Good Grips Flour Sifter

Oxo Good Grips Flour Sifter

Easy handling

The grip is nice andOxo Good Grips Flour Siftercomfortable for my arthritic friend. The mechanical action on the sifter is very smooth. Also the sifter comes with a lid so you can store it without getting flour all over everything.

Flour Sifter

This is the best sifter I have ever owned, I am extremely happy with it. It has plastic lids both top and bottom which saves on mess and the handle allows you to just shake it and it sifts well and doesn't take forever to complete the job.

Not slow! Works perfectly for me

Lots of reviewers have commented about how it took them minutes to sift a single cup of flour. I sifted 3 cups worth in about 15 seconds, and I wasn't shaking it excessively either. The sifting action works well, and I did not have any problems with flour going all over or needing to use a super large bowl to catch it all. Honestly, I don't know if the other reviewers got a bad item, or if they were trying to sift a coarsely ground material, but it works fine.

A bit of a pain to use

Works well, and good quality. Just that the wiggle action is a it of a pain (and a mess) to use if sifting into a small bowl.

don't buy this

I have been very pleased with other OXO products, but this sifter is a dud. It takes a lot more time and effort to sift flour with this sifter than with a regular sifter. And, it just doesn't work at all on some things like corn meal. I'm throwing mine in the trash.



Dip-It Food & Beverage Stain Remover: 5 OZ

Dip-It Food & Beverage Stain Remover: 5 OZ

Dip-it

I have been using Dip-it for 30 yrs. to clean our coffeepot and could not find it anywhere (grocery stores, Wal-Mart, KMart, Target, etc.) I was happy to finally order it through Amazon and received it rather quickly. Thanks.

For a great cup of coffee...

If you've noticed that your coffee doesn't taste like it did when the coffeemaker was new, you need Dip-it. Forget vinegar and water or trying to clean those hard-to-get-at places by hand! The reason I use Dip-it? Simple: it does a great job removing coffee oils and water scale from the coffemaker. I use it after every 30 or so brewing cycles with my Hamilton Beach BrewStation Deluxe, and it keeps my coffee tasting like it did the day the pot was new. I highly recommend this product.

Cleaner for coffee pots

I have been unable to buy Dip-It at the grocery store for over a year and found it on Amazon. It is a wonderful product and does a great job cleaning my stainless electric coffee percolator. I will keep it on my Amazon list.

dip it actually cleans your coffee pot

I've tried other coffee pot cleaning products. They don't compare. Dip-it cleans coffee pots.

Dip It

Dip-It Food & Beverage Stain Remover: 5 OZ I was very pleased receiving my order for "dip-It" cleaner. Have used it for many years and was unable to find it in local stores, when I happened on it through Amazon, I purchased 3 boxes. It is wonderful for keeping coffe-makers sparkling cclean.

SoftWorks 3-piece Plastic Mixing Bowl Set

SoftWorks 3-piece Plastic Mixing Bowl Set

Wonderful mixing bowls and a good price

These mixing bowls are wonderful. The rubber handles and bottoms are surprisingly helpful (no more bowls sliding around the table when you are trying to mix with one hand). They seem durable, and the price is not bad as well so I would definitely recommend buying these.

Cool black and white non slip bowl set

I had a set of nested lightweight bowls, that had a bit of a pour spout..but not enough...I was still pouring 1/2 of my product on the counter top..decided to find another set that actually worked! These do! And they do NOT slide around on the counter/table top either. A nice set for newlyweds setting up house. Just watch that you don't do what I did, I thought there was another larger bowl and ordered it (well, you might actually READ...I guess I didn't!) so I ordered and now have another of the largest bowl in this set...but that's not all bad =) This is really a great set, another fine Amazon product.

Very Nice

I got these as a wedding present about four years ago and these bowls have stood up very well. I've made everything in them from big batches of cookies to pancake batter in the small one. The non-slip grip is nice and at first I thought that it might pull away from the bowl when they got older, but they've been amazing. I bought the smaller prep bowls at Target for little jobs. The other reviews say that they are a bit pricey (and granted I got these as a gift), I plan on buying a set for my younger sister. I have a $10 off coupon from Bed Bath and Beyond that was in the Sunday paper and that will cut the cost almost in half.

Nice Quality, but a little pricey

These were of very nice quality, the non-skid bottoms were good, but they were a little pricey. I had a discount, otherwise would probably not have paid the original price for them.

the review

on time as specified,quite skidfree hardplastic,should have come with lids for the price,very pricey for plastic,use supersaver shipping,it remains to be seen how they will scratch as the type of plastic is not specified????



Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffeemaker

Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffeemaker

hot coffee

This is a standard coffee maker with no extra bells and whistles, but it does the job of brewing good hot coffee. The coffee stays hot for hours without losing its flavor.

It makes great coffee

A great product. Better price that the department store. No shipping charges or sales tax, great value. I love free home delivery!

Excellent coffeemaker

This specific Cuisinart DCC-1200 outshines any coffeemaker that we have ever owned. If you want really hot, strong, European-style coffee, then test this machine. Unfortunately, it makes restaurant/friends' coffee seem lacking.

Cuisinart DCC-1200BW Brew Central 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker, Matte Black Metals

These machines should be simple and this one is. I don't use the timer function so I can't comment on this aspect of it. It is easy to pour the water in. One cannot see from the outside how much water has been added so the right amount needs to have been measured in the first place, although there is a rough guide inside that you can use to check. Then the filter needs to be easy to insert and remove, and it is. The on/off switch is front and center, one can adjust how hot the warmer gets and then there is a button for making one to four cups. Oh, and it looks great.

This is a lovely machine

I bought this one as a replacement, as we all do. It holds 12 delicious cups of coffee. No one else in my household drinks coffee, so there is enough left over to take to work in a large thermos. The pouring lip on the pot is not molded glass that spills. It is part of the plastic handle/lid & pours cleanly & crisply. The base keeps the coffee piping hot when set on medium. If I absolutely have to find a fault with the pot, the water needs to be poured into the base with your right hand. That's discrimination, isn't it? I would buy this coffee machine again. Time will tell about its longevity. Respectfully submitted by a lefty reviewer.



MIU #90049 Candy/Deep Fryer Thermometer

MIU #90049 Candy/Deep Fryer Thermometer

Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper

Presto 04820 PopLite Hot Air Corn Popper

Awesome popper

I bought this item for my girlfriend as she would often tell me how her parents had one when she was a child. I didn't even know what it was until I found it on Amazon. Long story short - she loves it! Talk about an inexpensive gift getting a huge response. It makes great popcorn in just a couple of minutes and we love the little butter melting dish that sits on top. I highly recommend this.

Quick and Easy

About three months ago, I decided to reform my eating and fitness habits. [I've lost about twenty-five pounds so far with another twenty-five or so to go.]I enjoy popcorn and decided that a hot-air popper would be a good choice for reducing the fat and the sodium in my diet. This one has worked well. It's easy to use and to clean up. I make about half the recommended amount for myself each time I use it -- 1/4 cup rather than 1/2 cup -- but it leaves relatively few kernels unpopped and it's quicker that the microwave popcorn I used to make.

It actually pops!

Product is simple to use and does exactly what it's supposed to do -- it pops corn without oil or waste. Would buy it again.

great!

i bought this for my boyfriend who loves pop corn. it works absolutly great! very easy to use, took us all about 3min to figure it out and was popping pop corn right out of the box! Tho it would be nice if it had a on/off switch. right now its just plug it in to start and unplug when you are done.

Great popcorn!

We love our Presto popcorn maker and use it EVERY night. The key for us to make good popcorn is the type of kernel we use. Many have commented on it's faults 1) no on/off switch 2) plastic top gets very hot 3) lighter small gourmet kernels fly out unless you tip the popcorn maker back until kernels start popping. We first tried using it with the common Orville Redenbocker kernels carried in most grocery stores. And we almost stopped there. It made the chewiest, stick to your teeth, awful popcorn. This seems to be a type of kernel that needs to be popped with oil. To make the best popcorn, we ordered samples of gourmet popcorns online (Riehles and Wisconsin Gold) and picked the kinds we liked best when air-popped. Many of the small kernels are very good. Then to season, I toss the batch with 1 Tbsp melted butter and salt.



Waring Pro WMK300 Belgian Waffle Maker, Brushed Stainless

Waring Pro WMK300 Belgian Waffle Maker, Brushed Stainless

Heating element didn't last

This waffle maker worked well - while it worked. I had it for over a year, but only used it maybe 15 times before the heating element went out. It just seems too common for electronic appliances to fail these days. I didn't check, but I'll bet it was made in China.

Fantastic waffles!

i am not a waffle lover, so when my friend made waffles for breakfast while on vacation i wasn't all that excited...until i had one! these are the best waffles - crisipy on the outside and soft on the inside. i was sold...i had to get one! perfection!

A bust after six uses.

This waffle maker was wonderful. For six uses, it made the best waffles. Delicious. Crispy and soft on the edges. Nice and thick. Then, it just stopped. Out of warranty, of course.

Fast waffles!

This waffle maker makes very thick and delicious waffles in about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, at most! It's very easy to use, heats up quickly, and it is not cheaply made like other Belgium waffle makers. The only downfall is that it takes up more counter space than regular waffle makers but it's well worth it. If you pour slightly more batter than what the measuring cup (included) says, you get a fuller and better waffle in my opinion. Just don't overdo it because it'll seep out from the sides...but I suppose that's why it also comes with a spill tray. :) I use mine a few times a week and haven't had any problems. Hopefully I won't, I've only had it for about two months.

Good - when it works

When this waffle maker works, it's great. However, we've now had 3 new units in the last 6 months that have failed averaging about 8 uses before failure (we usually have waffles once a week). The same problem occurs each time - the heating stops about midway through the waffle with a hungry family waiting - dang. Not only that but you are left with a gooey mess to clean. I opened up the last unit after it failed and found that it has a solid state heating control so I have no idea as to why this type of board should keep failing. Fortunately, we bought our unit from a local retailer who keeps exchanging them for us. Nevertheless, the constant returns and poor reliability gets old. Beware!
