Sanyo 3.6 Cubic Foot Refrigerator Review

This refrigerator is great - if you want to keep soda cold. The items in the door are barely chilled, not cold....the freezer either doesn't freeze at all OR freezes so well that everything on the top shelf freezes too...all without touching the temperature dial. On the positive - it's a nice size.

OXO Good Grips Angled Measuring Cup, Set of 3 Review

OXO Good Grips Angled Measuring Cup, Set of 3
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This measuring cup set is simple in design, so much so that I wonder why no one had thought of it earlier. Cooks no longer have to stoop down to check the level of liquid. The biggest drawback with these cups is the plastic construction. After using Pyrex measuring cups for years, I have come to expect durability, even in the microwave; while these can be used to measure boiling water, they cannot be used in the microwave to heat liquids. They do not replace hardier measuring cups. Still, they make a useful addition to the kitchen.
If you are short on storage space, don't bother with these since you will have to keep your old cups anyway. However, if you do have room, I strongly recommend adding these to your traditional measuring cups for their ease of use and accuracy.

Japanese 2 Pc Rice Bowl Set with Chopsticks Review

Japanese 2 Pc Rice Bowl Set with Chopsticks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own several sets of both the sushi dishes and the small bowls (also one large bowl that seems to be out of production) with this design. The craftmanship that went into making them is high. The textures and patterns in the glazes are very interesting and unique. While the design is the same on each piece they are done by hand, so each one is a little different. I've also noticed that the glaze color and pattern tends to vary a bit between ones I've ordered at different times, but not so much that it's noticeable unless you're looking for it.
I tend to be careful with them, since they're hard to find, but I've found that they stand up well to the dishwasher and microwave. Each plate or bowl has the exact same shape so they're easy to stack. I imagine if you tried hard enough you could chip them or scratch the glaze, but the large bowl that I use most often has held up beautifully over 6 years. I've broken 2 - one by dropping it on a hard floor and the other during shipping, but besides that no chips or scratches.

These corn holders are amazing. They are large enough and with a terrific texture so that they're easy to grip. They can be inserted into the corn ears before boiling and come through the boiling process perfectly -- no damage, and they cool very quickly so they can be easily handled. They also go through the dishwasher without mishap. I'm very happy with them.

Rubbermaid 7H7800WBKMT Premier Review

Rubbermaid 7H7800WBKMT Premier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm only giving these 2 stars (I thought about 3 stars) but the reason is because of how Rubbermaid completely RUINED the awesome (5 star) Stain Shield line they had before this travesty came along. I hate to say it, but if you're looking for good plastic containers, these are probably the best ones out there at the moment (because of the Stain Shield technology), but only if you can get over the absolutely horrendous lid design. In my opinion, the Stain Shield containers that these replaced were superior in so many ways. Redesigning the lid to be fancy just ruined the line, so if you're Rubbermaid, how about bring back the old Coke formula?
Problem #1
Sure, the lids flex more than the old ones, but it comes at BIG price of being very, very difficult to clean when the old model was SO EASY! That gray part really is rubber and scouring pads don't do well in cleaning rubber; it just sticks. Go throw some soap suds on your car tires and see how easy it is to clean with a kitchen scrubber, now clean your car windows with the same scrubber. That's the difference between the old line and this one. It's like trying to scrub off the residue that an adhesive label leaves behind. Don't get me started on the deep grooves in the lid that you're never going to get into to clean either. It boggles my mind how they thought this improvement was sanitary.
Problem #2
The lids are recessed and go BELOW the surface of the lip when fully seated - at least a quarter inch if not more! So no longer can you fill up the bowl to it's capacity like before. Also, there's no line that tells you were that limit is so it's sort of a guessing game. Did you put too much soup in the container? Well, the only way to know for sure is to set the lid on and see if you get soup being pushed out the sides when you press the lid on. So yeah, before you didn't get anything on the lid and it was easy to clean; now you get a ton of stuff on the lid and it's really hard to clean. What were you thinking Rubbermaid? Terrible design, just terrible. The old model didn't do this and sat flush, if not just a little above the top of the container.
Problem #3
If you stack 2 containers on top of each other with their lids on, you have to lift the container up out of a depression from the lid it's sitting on top of, you can't slide it out. That's hard to explain, but if you look at the picture you can probably get the idea. Again, the previous model had a completely flat top, which meant that when they were in the fridge, you could slide them out easily. That may not seem like a big deal when it's in the cupboard, but when it's in a packed fridge with other containers, it just gets annoying. Another terrible design "improvement". Although I will say that some folks will probably like this feature since it keeps the containers stacked more neatly and are less prone to sliding off of each other. This is not a problem in my house.
Problem #4
There's more rubber on the lid which means you can't see inside the container as well as before because the viewing area is cut down. Additionally, if you look closely at the picture, you'll see that the center of the lid is a smokey shade and not 100% transparent, making it even more difficult to see what's inside since less light is getting in (blocked by more rubber and the lid tint). When you put on the lid you have to make some small adjustments when lining it up and then once it's lined up, you can push the lid down and "burp" it.
Problem #5
The previous model let you microwave something with the lid cracked on the container, flip the lid over when it was done microwaving, and set the hot container on it and walk away. Voila! An easy-to-walk-away-with a hot container! It was like having a built-in pot holder. Those days are over with this lid.
The Good #1
The bottom part of the containers didn't change much, just a little curvier but still 100% functional; no complaints there at all. The stain-shield technology is just amazing and in the 5+ years I've been using them, not one stain! That part is huge for me since I store and microwave a lot of tomato-based items. Also, they do not retain odors, so that's another HUGE plus for this garlic lover.
The Good #2
You can microwave and freeze these containers a thousand times and not have any worries. They can take pretty much anything you can throw at them.
If you don't know if you should get the round or square sizes, I have both the round and square containers and find the square to be much easier when it comes to storage. It's a much more efficient use of space in the refrigerator.
The ones that have the red rubber instead of the gray/black are BPA-free.
All-in-all, the lid "improvements" they made to this line have completely ruined it in my opinion. If you haven't used their old line before, you'll probably love these and won't have all the issues I have with them. I'm always on the lookout for remnants of their old line, but to no avail; I can't find them anywhere. I need to buy more containers, but in the meantime, I'm hoping for a better design to come out, either Rubbermaid or someone else.
**If you know of a better product than this one, please leave a comment and let us all know!!!

Schumacher PI-400 Instant Power DC to AC Power Inverter - 400 Watts
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I work in the oil field service industry and basically live out of my truck. When I started, I bought the 400 watt unit to charge my laptop and run a printer. It works perfectly in the vehicle power outlet. I then bought a 1250 watt unit to run a microwave. I returned it after a few days as it was popping fuses. I then snagged a brand new 750 watt Schumacher on Ebay for 1/2 regular price. It runs my small microwave perfectly which has an 800 watt draw.. I monitored the inverter closely while the microwave was running and it got lukewarm, that was it... I'm very happy with both units as they serve my needs very well and economically.

Original Review:
Rice flour baked goods stick to baking pans like you would not believe. If you're baking gluten-free, this is indispensable.
I used this to bake a gluten-free rice pizza crust in a toaster oven: it's the only thing that kept the crust from sticking to the pan; tinfoil, nope; wax paper, nope, and it melted into the crust--but this peeled right off.

Anchor Hocking Expressions Glass Cookware, 33-Piece Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
BUYER BEWARE! DO NOT USE AROUND CHILDREN, WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IF USING. Go to this website: [...] It's full of people explaining the exact same dangerous situations that I had.
The following is the complaint that I sent to Anchor Hocking regarding their product.
My husband bought me three of your glass pans for Christmas 2009 in Woodburn, Oregon at one of the factory stores in the outlet mall. I've been using Pyrex brand glass dishes previous to this. I've used the dishes a few times for different meals and brownies with no issues, until last night. I put chicken breasts into one of the Anchor Hocking glass pans, the rectangle one about 7"x10" (approx), and put it into the oven set at 375 degrees. After 8 minutes, there was a loud explosion and my husband and I went rushing back into the kitchen to discover that the glass pan had exploded inside the oven, destroying our dinner and damaging the inside of our oven. There are hundreds of pieces of glass all over, and even after doing my best to clean it all up, I'm still finding shards of glass today, making it dangerous to use the oven. I've looked around online and found the consumer affairs website where it looks like this is a problem that has happened to MANY MANY people using your bakeware. Since this is a known issue, I'd like to know what you plan on doing to make this right. I will be throwing out all of my other pans from your company since I now know that they are not safe. THEY'RE NOT SAFE! I can't believe that you're making a product that is actually DANGEROUS! It's dishes for crying out loud, and they're actually UNSAFE! The following links will show you 8 pictures I took last night of the mess your company's product made.

Mario Batali 5-Piece Measuring Prep Bowl Set, Persimmon Review

Mario Batali 5-Piece Measuring Prep Bowl Set, Persimmon
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What a brilliant idea! Measuring bowls that can be used for two different measurements each. Why didn't someone think of this sooner? These work easily with an obvious line in the bowls interior that is the 50% measure.
If you love to bake, which requires a lot of measuring. You will love these bowls. There is nothing worse than being in the middle of measuring ingredients for baking and being interrupted. If you use these bowls to measure the incremental ingredients you will never have to remeasure again.
These bowls are dishwasher safe and also clean up easily if you hand wash them. I have two sets of these because they are so useful, and because I do so much baking.
The sizes of these bowls are as follows:
1/8 and 1/4 cup
1/4 and 1/2 cup
1/2 and 1 cup
3/4 and 1 1/2 cups
1 and 2 cups.
If you love to bake, or you like to measure prior to cooking (mise en place) you will love these bowls. I highly recommend this product.

Casa Moda "S'mores" Maker Review

Casa Moda S'mores Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is awesome! I got the S'mores Maker as a Christmas gift and have completely used up all 3 cans of chafing fuel that I got with the gift. I'm addicted!
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to be able to eat S'mores at any time of the year! I used to make S'mores in the microwave, but the marshmallows always got chewy. This is the perfect solution.

It has a very cute set-up and although I don't really use the little containers for my marshmallows and graham crackers (except when taking fun photos), I do keep my wrapped chocolate bars in there all the time.
At first it took forever to roast my marshmallows until I read the directions (which I should have done in the first place) and saw that there's this neat feature that lets you adjust the flame height. The bigger the flame, the faster your marshmallow roasts. If the flame is too high, your marshmallow is quicker to burn.
As for someone's comment about Sterno not recommending that you cook open food over their flame... that's because certain foods can drip into the flame and cause dangerous flare-ups if you aren't careful. They specifically say that the emissions of the chafing fuel will not cause harm. :)
If you're having trouble finding the chafing fuel, check out the list of places in the FAQ on sterno.com. I'm pretty sure Amazon sells some, too!
Happy roasting!
