Kitchen Linens Reviews

Okay, by now everyone has read how bulky and awkward these gloves are. They are right. In a world where Rubbermaid can come up with some pretty good-fitting washing gloves, ORKA should come up with a few SIZES, as one size NEVER fits all....
However, everything else about these gloves is FUN! I stuck my hand in boiling spaghetti-water (how brave is THAT), picked up a hot pan (as usual sticking my thumb in the goo), and pulled out the toaster-oven rack to see if my cheese was melted. NO owwies and the grease cleaned right off the glove....and the blue one matches my blue silicone spatulas...TOO COOOOLLL

This glove keeps the hands cool as promised. I have used it to pick up pots and remove items from the oven and never felt the slightest heat. My only complaint is that it is somewhat stiff and hard to manuver.

These are the best thing since sliced bread. Besides being safer than pot holders they are waterproof. Wonderful for lifting a large roasted turkey from the pan to the platter.(you need two)Then just wash them off like you're washing your hands and they are ready to go again. No more knuckle burns from oven racks from grabbing cookie sheets either.

very happy with the iron, big difference in ironing compare to a regular steam iron.
it only could use a bigger watertank.

Apparently, I am one of the few remaining individuals who feel the need for freshly ironed clothing. I've always used steam irons, Rowenta most recently, with consistently disappointing results. Over the years, I've increased my use of spray starch to make up for the power I've believed should have originated in the iron. But no more!

After deciding I wasn't ready for a presser or a mangle for my clothing, and knowing I really didn't need to press that many tablecloths, I discovered a new genre: steam generating irons. And, after some significant research, I ordered this DeLonghi model.

It is truly a different beast than anything I've ever used! What steam production!!! The temperature of the iron sole plate is controlled independently from the quantity of steam desired. Tap water is actually recommended for use. The iron, while substantial in heft, is not heavy. And the old-fashioned looking cork handle is soft, smooth and cool to the touch.

But the bottom line is the job it does on my clothing and linen! While the ads say that this machine will cut your ironing time in half, I cannot say this is true.....mainly because I find myself taking the time to marvel over how each pass with the iron produces such a professional-looking surface! Really, the only thing that's been halved is my use of spray starch, which is an unforseen and welcome benefit!

Am I happy with my new "beast?" You bet! Would I buy another? No way....I suspect this well-designed machine is going to last me a long, long time. But can I recommend one for you? Without reservation!

I love steam generating irons but had a bad experience with my prior iron. I bought a Euro Pro steam generating iron and after about two years it stopped steaming. I thought it should have lasted a lot longer. I contacted HSN, the company I bought it from, and complained. They passed the buck to the manufacturer. When I finally got the manufacturer to respond they wanted me to pay to ship the iron to them and pay for repairs. The Euro Pro iron was a bad investment from the start: It needed distilled water and, after I had trouble with it,I learned that the iron had a history of problems that the manufacturer did not address.

The DeLonghi Stiromeglio Compact PRO 300 Iron is a joy. It works beautifully and uses tap water. I researched the product and company and bought the iron because of the warranty and features. So far so good...

These are absolutely GORGEOUS! THe color does not fade after washing, they are holding their shape beautifully, and they are so much prettier than plain old white/patterned dishtowels. I love them and would recommend them to anyone with a more modern/contemporary kitchen.

Gorgeous looking set of dishware, all packed securely and arrived in perfect shape. Looks even better then the pictures show. Shipping issues seem to have been cleared up, set arrived in 2 days with standard free shipping. Now I just need to figure out where to put everything.

I have never had any problems with receiving this set of china. I consider this pattern to be quite elegant. Last year, I started with the setting for eight and have since ordered the entire collection from either Amazon or Mikasa. (They didn't have the mugs when I was building my collection and the cups are quite enough.) Platinum stemware goes perfectly with this collection. I searched until I selected Lenox Debut Platinum stemware. My sterling flatware is Oneida Damusk Rose which is a set purchased in the 1940's. All this sets an impressive table. I am 100% satisfied with the Mikasa Platinum Crown china and highly recommend it.

I ordered this about a year ago and no problems with delivery, received it after about 3 weeks, great price and quality, no complaints at all!
