I have used Corning Ware items for many years and can say that these bowls are high quality as everything else I have ever used from Corning Ware. They last for years and keep looking nice.

These are 3 very nice bowls. you would pay more than this just for the large bowl alone. They are heavy ceramic. Small bowl is great for mixing up some eggs or serving upi some guacamole. large bowl for serving pasta or salads.

I had expected these to be made of the same material Corelle dishes are made of. They are not. They are heavy and substantial ceramic. They are quite beautiful, and I can't believe they are selling them for only 15.99. The red is an absolutely beautiful shade. I am very impressed with these bowls!

I bought a box of hefty ultra flex 30 gallon trash bags,with drawstrings. Problem is, the strings are very fragile. They tear right off with very little force. The bags are strong enough,but anyone who likes drawstrings should try another brand,as I will.

This product is well made - excellent quality. Net stretches easily to accomodate a few bananas, as well as a large variety of fruit. Well worth the money.

While this is a good item for people such as myself that have no cooking skills whatsoever, anyone else with the slightest amount of cooking skills should look elsewhere.
I like it because I live in a studio apartment and have limited counter space in my kitchen. I also like it because one person doesn't have to make a big production just to cook enough food for one.
The thing I don't like is the "bun warmer". It really didn't warm the buns even the slightest bit. That part seems rather useless to me.
Other than that, it's a decent cooking tool for bachelor's such as myself with no cooking skills

I just couldn't resist this purchase when it showed up in my gold box, especially at the price.

The grill is a little smaller than I imagined it, but it surely grills meat FAST. I could hardly believe the meat was cooked already. Fish may stick to the plates, so you may want to use some PAM before you place anything on the grill. Cleaning is no problem.

This is well worth the money, and makes a great gift for someone who lives on their own or has space constraints.

I just love my Champ Grill. Its perfect for small portions! I love grilling, but don't always want to crank up my big outdoor grill. I have only had mine a few days, but so far I am very satisfied. Its quick, fun and easy to clean up. I also got one of George's Cookbooks and it has so many tasty sounding recipes and marinades that I can't wait to try them. Perfect also if your trying to eat healthier or count calories. I wish I'd have gotten one earlier! I bought one for my sister for her birthday, too. For the money, you just can't go wrong.

We thought we would give the smoothie elite another chance after our previous model broke when the pitcher fell on the floor. Making smoothies is great so long as you do not use alot of ice. One you add a full pitcher of ice it becomes a smoke machine and the rubber/plastic gear shread and make smoke. Now after 3 pitchers of margaritas we said adios to smoothies elite since the gears are gone!!! I think we should all file a class action suit for this junk machine.

I agree with the other reviewers; had the machine for a couple weeks, after 5 uses the machine didn't sit right on the base, causing the teeth between the base and the container to grind a bit. After that, it was all downhill. The base teeth were completely ground down within 2 uses. Interestingly, the new back to basics smoothie machines seem to have a better locking mechanism, and teeth that seem to be made of more durabe material.

I had this machine for about 3 years with no issues. But, how often do most people use their machine? I used it maybe 15 to 20 times. I went to use it yesterday and all of a sudden I see smoke and the bottom of the machine and that funny electric smell (We all know what that smell means) The plastic bottom of the base stuck to the machine and margarita's were everywhere (except in my glass). We had to throw the whole machine out. Now I will be buying a new machine, being that I enjoyed the convenience of the spout but if I can't find one thats non plastic I will use my blender. The smoothie maker makes less of a mess for drinks, a blender always doesnt pour as nice. I will not buy another plastic model again. (I believe this one was a gift to me) Do yourselfs a favor and spend the extra cash on a metal version or even glass if this exists, obviously the motor doesn't last long and the plastic parts break to fast according to other reviews I've read.
