Blue Oblong Table Cloth - 52" X 90"



Nice table cloth
Bought this as we can no longer find quality vinyl tablecloth's at stores in the Mpls/St Paul area. Good quality. We use it on our kitchen table. Wish there was a wider range of colors and patterns, but this is nice.

not at all what I expected...and no return possible!!
In the description I thought this was cloth.......no where does it say it is vinyl..... i put in a request for returning the iable CLOTH.....but i never heard from the company again!!!.........

Strong and good looking
We are market vendors at a farmers market and have used cloth tablecloths in the past. We decided to try these in 2012 because our old ones were stained. These work fine. Fold them neatly after use; don't just bunch them up and in cold weather (under 50) the creases take time to come out. They have held up a full year going to two markets a week from April thru October and I expect to get another full season out of them.

8-Piece Pot Set



Ragalta
VERY NICE! LIGHT WEIGHT YET HEAVY DUTY.

8 Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Pasta Pot Set
by Ragalta

Shipped right on time no problems.

It is a 8 quart size pot.
This China made pot is 8 quarts which wasn't be described. Some one rated it was a perfect size because some are too big or some are too small. But I think 8 quarts is too big for the family of 2. The bottom is thin. It's OK to use as a steamer and pasta cooker. But with the price of $29.99 for all of these are good. I haven't used yet so I am not sure about the quality after being used. Shipping was fast.

Good Product
Chose this because it was stainless, not aluminum. Noted previous reviews that complained it was too thin bottomed, but that is normal for a pasta pot so not a problem for me. Was the perfect size, most of the others I found were either too large or too small. This one was just right....lol

T-fal C1190264 Signature Nonstick Expert Interior Thermo-Spot Heat Indicator Dishwasher Safe 8-Inch Fry Pan / Saute Pan Cookware, Black



Great non-stick pan for eggs
I bought this pan to replace an old T-Fal pan that my husband treasured. The old pan wore out, plain and simple. This pan is perfect for sauteing two eggs, his favored use. The non-stick finish is great and the bottom has several bands that help make the heat very even in the pan. All in all, he is very pleased with this pan.

love it! in all sizes-8", 10", and 12.5"
I had bought a 10" size of this a year ago to use in my vacation home and was VERY satisfied. That is why I searched for this 8" and 12.5" sizes to buy for use in my NY home when my stainless steel 8" and 10" skillets stopped performing well(difficult to clean inside and outside).
I LOVE the ease and convenience of these T-Fal Signature saute pans. Nothing sticks-either inside or outside!The red circle pattern in center lets you know when it is preheated before adding food. I followed the instructions before first use: wash in warm soapy water,rinse,dry,then rub inside with a little cooking oil to season. I bought 2 flexible silicone coated pancake turners to use with these saute/frypans, but I had used steel utensils in the one at my vacation home with no problems. T-Fal Signature pans are an excellent value for the price. Amazon.com gave me free shipping and very fast service on these.
There is only one thing I wish these saute pans had:lids. I was able to find suitable...

Great pans
I bought an 8" & a 10" T-Fal Signature fry pan; they're GREAT: nothing sticks, they clean up easily, have even heat distribution; couldn't have gotten a better set of pans. I had read reviews before ordering - all positive &, altho they were backordered, I was willing to wait; I highly recommend these pans.

StirChef SAUCEPAN STIRRER HandsFree StoveTop cooking



Nice idea but worthless
The first thing I made was a marinara sauce, on the lowest possible heat setting. First, the intermittent setting does not work, it continues to stir constantly. Second, within just a few minutes of use, the plastic began to melt and stain beyond recognition. I attempted to contact the manufacturer via the weblink listed on the box, and guess what? It took me to a LAN/Wan support site. I wonder where they went? I emphatically DO NOT recommend this item! Not worth the cost of the batteries!

A Stirring Experience
After visiting six stores and searching the internet, I finally found a deep saucepan with an 8 1/2 inch diameter to handle the not very long arms of the StirChef. Attaching the StirChef to my new 4qt saucepan, I turned it on to stir some chopped vegetables for 10 minutes at low heat. After about 4 minutes the flimsy plastic blades began to melt, adding an interesting but unwanted taste to the vegetables. Well, at least I have a nice new saucepan.

Good - hope there is a "version 2" someday
All in all, not a bad product, and relatively handy if you have other things to do than constantly stir something. If Amazon allowed for half stars, I would have given it only 3.5 instead of 4, but it is better than a 3 star rating.

The unit looks like the picture. The arms have the ability to fold up next to the unit for compact storage. I have no idea what they mean by "spring loaded arms", the three different sized paddles that come with it have bendable tips that allow for a fitting into pans that might not be the exact size of the paddles. They aren't rubber and you don't really want them scraping along the sides of your pan, so you often find yourself going with the smaller paddle, which works just as well to keep things moving. The paddles connect to the unit via the metal rod that has a clip on one end. The rod fits thru the motor part, and at no time is it actually connected; this allows the varying depth. The unit either turns constantly, or intermittently,...

Fox Run Non-Stick 3-Egg Poacher Insert



Non-Stick 3-Egg Poacher Insert Review
This item probably is a fair value for the money, but a few comments are in order:

1. As noted by previous reviewer, eggs do stick unless oil or butter are used. This is likely to be true of all the other "non-stick" poachers as well.

2. By using a fork in one of the three slots, the insert can safely be put into or taken out of a pan of hot water if the pan is not too deep.

3. It's hard to realize from the photo, but the cups are relatively shallow. A large egg will fill them to the brim, increasing the chance of a spill. Extra-large eggs will definitely overfill.

Poacher Review
Produces a nice poached egg. You do have to oil the insert and be very careful not to burn yourself since there's no handles on the insert but it's worth the effort and the cost is right. If you want more from a poacher, pay more.

Just What I Wanted
This is just what I wanted--your basic egg poacher at a reasonable price. It worked great and was easy to clean.
