Comment on Oxo Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener by James R. Treece

James R. Treece — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000

My wife and I bought this can opener because we like the idea of not having a sharp edge on the opened can. The problem with this one is that it will not open most cans. It has a sort of “pliers” built in, so you can twist and rip the lid off after you have tried opening it with the cutter. Paid $20 and do not use, after trying it several times.

I really like this can opener. I like the style, color. Good and strong.

I had looked and looked for a red can opener.

I love the fact that it works everytime. My husband said " What a cool can opener and it works everytime."

We had a lot of junkie can opener which had a good name brand.

I will tell my friends about this one.

Comment on Keurig Single Serve Gourmet Coffee & Tea Brewing System by Tracy Martino

My husband & I received the Keurig B66 for Chanuka. This bundle Keurig was such a great deal. We recived coffee samples and the water filter. I have stongly recommended to my friends that they buy the coffee maker from Amazon. This is the best gift we ever received. We use it all the time. There is never a waste of coffee and the only thing to clean is basically our coffee cups. I can have my flavored coffees or my tea, and my husband can have his espresso.

Comment on Silpat 11-5/8-by-16-1/2-Inch Nonstick Silicone Baking Mat by Charmed Life

I have been using a silpat pan liner for two years and finally got around to buying a few more so I would be able to make several batches of cookies and french macaroons. It is so much easier to work with than parchment paper, there is simply no comparison. For washing I do not use soap, I rinse with water only, sometimes even a wipe down with a paper towel is enough to clean it.

My only problem has to do with the confusion in sizes of pan liners, there are so many different sizes some only differing by about a quarter of an inch. It would be great if they could “standardize” the sizes and names they give these liners, it would save a lot of time and confusion.

I just love, love, love these pans…I use them practically daily. I cook mostly in my toaster oven and microwave but only had 1 pan small enough to bake in the small oven…and used aluminum ones…but they get too expensive so I invested in this package. I especially love the round ones…for personal pizza I am going to get another set for gifting to a friend.

Comment on Rachael Ray 10-Piece Hard-Anodized Cookware Set, Orange by Linda in Florida

Checked a lot of reviews online for cookware — this set got excellent ratings!!Price was good, came in a timely manner, (as have all my purchases from Amazon). I have now been using this product for about two months and I am still in love with it. They look great, cook evenly, and I guess the hardest thing to do besides plan the meals, is to COOK ON A LOWER TEMPERATURE. These pans conduct heat really well, and even on my electric stove, I heat the pan then turn down to medium. I have recommended this set to family and friends and I would recommend to everyone.

Comment on Proctor Silex Plus 76370P Extra-Tall Can Opener, White by Angelgrannyfive

I needed a replacement can opener for the one that was here in our Florida winter rental. Amazon is the best for speedy deliveries and they stand by what they sell so naturally I ordered from my favorite online shopping service and, as usual, was not disappointed. The can opener arrived in two days and it is working efficiently. It is a good size and has not been a problem at all. So far so good……

This cookware is the best I have ever used. Even heat distribution and oh so easy to clean. I have purchased sets for my daughters and granddaughters. I highly recommend it.

One of the frying pan was out of shape (not round). The rest of the set seemed thin and not a high quality. I would think this would be a good starter set for someone who is just setting up a new household but you will need to replace it in a couple of years. I returned this set.

great heating surface, cooks evenly, easy grip handles, variety of sizes for all kind of cooking, beware though we used a plastic spoon with a metal handle and the the metal handle hit the pan and chipped the pan, never, never use metal anything with these pans, and never put them in the dishwasher, if you want to keep that great finish
