Home and Kitchen Reviews

I love the dishes. I ordered 3 sets (12) square plates, 3 sets (12) round salad plates, 1 set footed round bowls (4), 2 sets rimmed bowls (8) and 2 sets (8) mugs. So far, the plates arrived but in 1000 pieces. Sent them back and they only have 1 set to send me. It hasn't arrived. One set of salad plates was broken, but has been replaced. The 4 footed bowls arrived fine. One set of rimmed bowls was chipped. One set of mugs was broken. I haven't received the lable to send them back. So, now I have 12 salad plates, 4 mugs, 4 footed bowls, 4 rimmed bowls....and no hope of owning a complete set.

I ordered two sets, one in green and one is white, because I like the mixed and matched look. The cups are large, but the handles are very small even for small hands. The rest of the set is great...very sturdy and large.

The set was not as yellow as the pics indicate they are, but still a good neutral color that will accomodate any kitchen/dining decor. I love the antique look - each piece has different markings. Just what I was looking for.

A great quality french press that made Bodum famous. Simple, easy to clean and quick! Ideal for the times when you need a nice cup of fresh brew coffee but couldn't find a coffee maker nearby.

Only for SMALL pots/bowls; can only be immersed 4 inches. Does not separate (like the Braun models). As a result, the blender cannot be put into a dishwasher for real cleaning. Spend a bit more, get a better model.

My protein shake recipe:

2 scoops Optimum Nutrition chocolate protein isolate
2 cups Silk soy milk
1 Tbsp Peter Pan peanut butter
15 grams walnuts
1 Banana
1/2 cup plain oatmeal
1-2 ice cubes

Why did I list my recipe? Because it grinds all that into a smooth, chocolatey heaven 2-3 times per day for me without fail. And cleanup time takes 10 seconds, just wash under the faucet. The price is unbelievable and the quality amazes me.

I've been using this since I bought it on Amazon some 6 months back. I have put it to use making infant(now toddler) food. Both my husband and I have come to admire this no-hassle device with its amazing ease of use.
I dread to think of preparing the mish-mash for my toddler in a regular blender where I'd have to wash all the things - the jar, the lid and the blades et.c. With the Proctor Silex blender, I blend in whatever vessel I have the food in and then run the blender blade under running water from the tap and I'm done!!
A must have for anyone preparing baby food at home.

I ordered 2 of these 2-quart saucepans because I had owned them and liked them in the past. I only threw them out after letting them boil dry and turn into molten lava. The pans that I bought in September 2005 were manufactured in China and did not measure up to the past quality of those made in the USA and Korea. The interiors are oddly rough and the knob on the top of one of the covers has a sharp edge. These pans are worth the $15.33 I paid for each of them and not a penny more.

the only problem that i have had with mine is in 6 years the plastic lid handle loossend up the threads were stripped but after a little dropp of supr glue it is fine again

in the same time i have throne out several pieces of teflon coated cookware from Faberware and belive stongly that teflon is for the 1 pan you fry your eggs in and not for any other piece of cookware.
use stainless or cast iron

My mother had one of these saucepans and used it daily as far back as I can remember for everything from boiling potatoes to making gravy. When she passed away I took it and use it all the time. It came witha double boiler insert which also got (and gets) frequest use, particularly for melting chocolate. My pan has to be at least 50 years old, the handle is still tight and the cover still seals. It's as good as they day Mom bought it half a century or more ago. What more could you ask?

I had no idea how good this product is. It came with the vacuum cleaner so I figured I would use it on a mess my cat left after coughing up a hairball. The Dyzolv completely removed the stain. This was not the first haiball the cat had coughed up. Previously I used some other spot remover I had. It didn't do as good a job as the Dyzolv. Since then the cat has coughed up more hairballs and everytime the Dyson Dyzolv removes the stain. That is why I purchased two more bottles.

This stuff is amazing. I recently bought a dyson vacuum cleaner, and it came with a free bottle of the Dyzolv.

I came home yesterday afternoon to find that one of my three cats had knocked a can of coke off the counter and onto the carpet. It was spread over a four foot area and I decided to give the Dyzolv a shot.

It not only removed the stain with hardly any effort or scrubbing... but it also left no trace of the stain (as most other cleaners seem to do). It costs a bit more than other cleaners, but MUCH MUCH less than replacing carpet that might previously have been considered uncleanable. :o)

This cleaner will get out ANYTHING. New and very old stains are no problem. I have tried everything on these multiple spots that were left by the previous owner. 4 years later, this stuff, take them out in just one small application. AMAZING is the only word that I can use to describe this cleaner.

It will take out dirt, oil, grease, wine, mold, blood,.....ANYTHING and only in one application!
