I decide to pick chef's design 8-liter pressure cooker, since this 6-liter would never come...

got it in no time!very convinience,and the package is very powerful, with many air bags.it's great! and when open the package,the glass cover shocked me!very shine cover! and the stainless steal is very thick!and it does worth the money i paid!when using it cook a pork hook, it's much faster!eventualy the pok hook turned into a jelly!really great pressure cooker!

Real quality product, didn't expect the glass cover! (see Pic submitted) Gives great value for money, presicion comes with use. Also sticker comes right off with a hair dryer without a mess. The Free shipping makes it an awsome deal. I have owned a prestige and fagor--this product tops them with its quality; good metal and parts.

I put a canister of DampRid in one of the rooms in my house and slowly, but surely, it collected moisture and some mold & mildrew from the air. After seeing that the DampRid worked, I went out and bought 2 refills & 4 more 10.5 oz Damprid containers to put all around the house. When I refilled the canister with the refill crytals, the DampRid QUICKLY collected pink, brown, and black mildew/mold (different color molds depending on the location of the DampRid)... It worked so well and so quickly that it was frightning (mostly because I could see what I had been breathing in and it was quite gross). **I guess the different shape of the refill crystals (which are more like pebbles/pellets) increases the surface area, making it much more efficient than the flat crystals this DampRid container comes with.

I live in Florida where it is very humid and I suppose that could contribute to the DampRid working so quickly, but it works and that is all that matters (the product does what it claims to do).

*Side Note: over time, molds/mildew & icicle-type formations form on the inside of the container. The hard formations are almost impossible to remove and take up much of the space where the liquid collected from the air is supposed to go. So, when you see these formations & have little room for liquid in the canister, it is time to splurge on new DampRid containers.

I would recommend this product to people looking for a simple & cheap way to clean the air in their houses quietly & effectively. Though I recommend the refills much more than this DampRid formula, you need the container that this formula comes with to put the refills in... and this formula DOES work--so I rated this 5 stars so that the effectiveness of the product be known.

What can you say about a spice rack? The spice bottles fit nicely in it. It looks great. It came quickly. I am a happy woman!

It does the job for the price. Smashes the bread too thin, makes the edges too hard. I use it in my office for quick lunches, but would not purchase another.

I've got a family of 5, and all three of my kids, as well as my husband and I, LOVED the sandwiches I just made! We just made ham and swiss sandwiches, and it was SO easy and even my picky little eaters ate every bite! There might be a better sandwich maker out there, but NOT for $10!!

I can't agree with the previous reviewer. I have been using this tool for 2 months almost daily now, and it still works fine.

this is the best peeler period. i have used many over my years of working as a professional chef and have always come back to this one. bang for your buck, pound for pound the undisputed champion of peelers.

They have raised the price. it used to be 2.99 but still worth every penny

This measuring cup is very difficult to slide and to clean. It is much easier to spray a regular measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray to help release sticky things such as peanut butter or honey. Spend your money on a good set of traditional measuring cups!

I have to agree with another reviewer. I got one of these as a gift and I was really excited about it. But it's a devil to keep clean. The inner canister has a textured surface where flour gets easily trapped. I only used it once, and now it just takes up space in my tool drawer next to my beloved measuring cups. Great idea, really bad execution.

I do a lot of baking from scratch and I liked this product so much that I have both a 2-cup and 1-cup version of this product.

I have not found this product to be difficult to use or to clean. You do need to slide it completely apart to clean it, but that only takes a second. I do wash mine by hand but that is only because they are used so frequently. I am certain that they would clean fine in the dishwasher once the sleeve was disconnected from the cylinder.

I would recommend this product to anyone that is a frequent baker.

I recieved one of these for Christmas, I would love to tell you how it works.....but it is missing a plastic piece. Now to be fair, I lost it, in the confusion of Christmas it must have gotten tossed. I called Rival to purchase a replacement piece. What a joke. I emailed....no response. I called, they don't know what I am talking about (even though it is clearly listed in the instruction manual), or if I get a rep who does know what the piece is, they say they don't have one to sell, but if I want to pay to ship the unit back and forth,they will replace it. I have left voice mail messages for non-existent supervisors. So, instead of being happy to pay for my own mistake of losing the piece, I will return this to the store as defective and get the money back. They lose a sale, the store loses a sale, they get in return an unhappy former customer and a defective unit. DO NOT BUY RIVAL PRODUCTS, we need to start showing these big companies who hide in voice mail hells that we are tired of poor, illogical treatment.

very pleased with the 11" bag roll. it works very well with my rival vs=110 seal a meal unit.

I just want to say I am not sure why the person who lost a piece of the product in her (Dawn Ulepich "Dawnski337" (Illinois)) haste is criticizing the company for a bad product. I have only had one problem ever with a Rival product and when I called the company, they immediately sent a new product out to take care of the problem even though it was not a product problem but rather a handling problem. I have found that they are a more than fair company and will take care of their customers. They probably would have even taken care of replacement of the plastic part (even though she lost it). It is not fair to penalize the store from which it was bought or the company that produced it because of her carelessness.
