Catskill Craftsmen Carver Jumbo Chopping Block with Feet Review

This cutting board is similar to one we received about 20 years ago. We chose it to give to our son and his wife because it is such a heavy substantial cutting board with two distinct features - the groove for catching the drippings and the solid feet which will keep it from slipping. The quality of the wood is such that I know they will have many, many years of use of it without any concern for the wood splitting. A great product for the price! I would certainly recommend this cutting board.

Mavea Elemaris XL Water Filtration Pitcher Review

Mavea Elemaris XL Water Filtration Pitcher
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We replaced the Brita pitcher that we have used for several years with this one. One thing that bothers me about the Brita filters is how the carbon particles keep escaping into the top compartment of the pitcher. It doesn't hurt anything, but it looks bad to me. Mavea's filters haven't had that problem so far. However, their claim that you don't have to soak the filter is not quite true: you have to run two pitchers of water through a new filter to activate it. This is even more trouble than soaking.
The self-opening and closing lid works well. You never have to remove the lid or flip it up. The only catch is that you have to stop pouring water in when it first starts to close. If you keep filling until it closes completely, water leaks out the top of the lid down the handle and interior sides of the pitcher.
We wanted a larger capacity pitcher than the 40 ounce Brita slim pitcher we were replacing. The 3.5 liter Elemaris XL size fits the bill. Be forewarned that the fully filled pitcher is quite heavy at 9 pounds. The contoured, rubberized grip makes it easier to deal with.

Panasonic NC-EH22PC 2.3 Quart Electric Thermal Hot Pot Review

Panasonic NC-EH22PC 2.3 Quart Electric Thermal Hot Pot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My relatives have an equivalent Zojirushi model. The only difference is this one only has a 6 hour delay whereas the Zojirushi has a longer delay setting. It actually seems like the Panasonic insulates and holds the heat in better than the Zojirushi as it doesn't seem to reheat as often. I'm sure it would save a few pennies in power costs if I could delay it a little longer while I'm away at work all day but it isn't worth almost double the price to get that. That's the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. I actually like and prefer the nonstick interior and unless you've got hard water, you don't have to clean it as often as they suggest. It's over a month for mine being used every day and it doesn't look any different than when I bought it. I figure I'll clean it with lemon juice every other month.
Note that you don't have to buy the special cleaning solution. Make your own citric acid with a half cup of lemon juice concentrate mixed in with the water and then run it through the cleaning cycle. If you use fresh lemons make sure you get the pulp out.

Perfect for serving tea to a crowd, this electric thermo pot boils and safely dispenses up to 2-2/7 quarts of hot water through a front-access spout with a simple touch of a button. The unit automatically boils water then switches to a keep-warm setting; it can also be set to start boiling up to six hours later thanks to its energy-saving timer. For tap water high in chlorination, the pot offers a dechlorination mode, which boils the water longer to reduce the taste and amount of chlorine for better tasting beverages. For safety, a magnetic power cord disconnects if necessary to help prevent the unit from tipping over, while a locking lid keeps boiling water from spilling if the pot accidentally does get knocked over. Other thoughtful details include four variable keep-warm settings, an easy-to-read water-level gauge, a low-water warning, and a removable lid, as well as a non-stick coated interior, a cool-touch exterior, and a plastic carrying handle. An instruction manual in English, French, and Chinese comes included. The thermo pot measures approximately 8-1/2 by 9-2/5 by 11-2/7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Norpro Lime Juicer Review

Norpro Lime Juicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was great and effective to use until It broke while juicing ~ the 20th lime. Also is too small to handle a large healthy lime. Ultimately there were tons of air pockets in the die-cast aluminum (visible once broken) and the handle snapped including a small piece of the concave cup. I'm not sure that most people would have the strength to break this juicing a lime, but that said, they would also no be able to juice a medium to large lime.

Love the coasters. They match my hot pot trivits in the same design. Rubbery but look like tiny 45 records. Very sturdy and colorful. Even have fake ridges like for phonograph needles to play on.

Kikkerland Double Walled 10-Ounce Ceramic Coffee Cup Review

Kikkerland Double Walled 10-Ounce Ceramic Coffee Cup
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this one for two reasons. The double-walled design promised good insulation and manageable temperatures on the outside. That's fine and works as advertised. However, the cup is not 12 oz but 10. This is a big deal given that so many of these cups are so small. I'm not one for huge cups of coffee, but to ensure limited spilling, a 12-14 oz cup size really is ideal. The bottom line though is that wrong information listed on something you can't easily return - the box it comes in says 10 oz - is just not acceptable.
