As a Pampered Chef consultant, I too, am very concerned with keeping my non-stick cookware safe, and this is just the product for that! My 10 pc. set and 6 open stock peices ALL fit on this rack with ease! It has adjustable heights and is so very easy to install! I love that it can be put just about anywhere! It has sure cleaned out my cabinet space and now all my cookware is easily accessable! My lids hang on the hooks as well. I would like to have more hooks, but it comes with a lot. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a sturdy out of the way place to store any of their cookware and utensils, that still is fashionable. For the price, this can't be beat!!

I bought this product through Amazon after shopping eBay and finding higher prices on the same exact item. The hardware was all included and it looks very nice. It's very heavy duty and functional and I was very pleased with the appearance and functionality. I am a Pampered Chef consultant and I love knowing that my expensive professional cookware is safe from scratches and the glass lids I store above the grid. Now I just need to figure out where to get Extra Hooks for this model, and I would be very pleased. I highly recommend this item.

I've had my Roomba for over a year, and I don't use it weekly as they suggest (or even bi-weekly) and my filters are falling apart. Backwashing with an air canister hasn't worked, though perhaps this is because my place is INCREDIBLY dusty.

Back-wash the filter after each use with canned air and they will last almost forever.

This is a great product!

I love having fresh whipped cream on hand. This way A- I know it's fresh, B- I know what's in it (i.e. no sugar), C- I can flavor it in any way I see fit, and D- I don't have to pay five dollars/can. This is so handy and easy to use.

home made whipped cream is way better than store bought. buy these (chargers) and a whipped cream maker, add a few ingriedients and wala, the freshest cream ever.

I bought this for my husband (the chef in our home) last year and he still raves about it. We use a lot of fresh herbs in our cooking, and this tool has made it much easier to mince them *safely*. It cleans up easily and looks great too!

I saw this exact Mezzaluna chopper in an article about herbs in a recent issue of Cooking Light. It seemed to be the perfect alternative to chopping herbs on a flat surface. With the Mezzaluna you don't have to keep gathering the chopped herbs back to the center of the board, they fall back to the center naturally. Your fingers aren't in danger of being chopped off in the process either, because you don't have to hold the herbs while you chop. Just rock the *very sharp* curved blade over the herbs. Achieving "minced" has never been easier, or faster. This chopper is of *excellent* quality, and worth the price!

After much research - I decided on getting the best machine on the market!

I just received my Jiffy Steamer J-4000 Pro-Line Series Garment Steamer a few days ago, and quite frankly, I'm amazed at its effectiveness!

First of all, assembling it was incredibly simple - took no more than 5 minutes. The machine comes with no more than 4-5 pieces to put together, and a wrench is included for free (so no extra personal tools needed). It comes on casters for easily mobility. It doesn't take much storage space (20 inches wide - 10 inch depth).

It has 3 settings: Off, Preheat and Steam, so there is no complication. Also, it has automatic shut-off - and the best part: if you're planning to use it throughout the day, you can leave it on preheat to conserve water! Just switch to steam when ready and you're ready to steam immediately!

Once assembled, you pour no more than 4 quarts of water (tap water or distilled water is fine) into the machine (while it's off), then turn on, switch the setting to "pre-heat", then wait about 15 minutes. You know it's ready to be switched to "steam" when the indicator light starts blinking on and off. You then switch to steam and wait about 2 minutes for the steam to start. Then you're ready to go (and go and go - this machine is capable of over 1.5 hours of steam time!)

Steaming the clothes is very simple. As you go along, you'll find that some fabrics steam much easier than others, and you'll learn different methods of steaming different types of fabric. Some fabrics do perfectly steaming from the outside - some lend themselves better to the steaming process if you steam from the INSIDE of the garment. Other fabrics take longer to steam, others take only a few minutes. But in all cases - hold the fabric taut with one hand while steaming - helps remove the wrinkles faster!

Just make sure you keep the steamhead in an upright position when steaming so the condensation can go back into the machine - if you don't do this - you'll hear a lot of sputtering. To stop the sputter, just place the steam head on its storage hanger and it will stop immediately!

In addition to removing wrinkles, this steamer helps remove smells from fabric!

The only "shortcoming" about this machine is that steaming long dresses is cumbersome (but not impossible). The steamer stands approx. 5 feet tall (I'm 5'2) - however, long garments/dresses call for you to get on your knees or sit down on the floor or chair to steam comfortably. However, if you're sitting on the floor, after several minutes of steaming, you start to hear sputtering and then you have to stop and place steamhead upright again. But the height might be industry standard. However, so much good outweighs this small inconvenience, that I would be willing to LAY DOWN on the floor to steam dresses!

In summary, I recommend this machine 100%. Don't settle for cheapies - in the long run they may cost you more to own than this "workhorse"!

When the J-4000 arrived, it transformed our process of removing wrinkles in our botique. Now we can use it on ANY fabric to quickly and easily wipe away wrinkles. If you are in retail, you simply HAVE to have one!

I have used this wok for over two years. I love it! I use it for everything, from frying eggs to frying pork chops! I used my first one so much that I wore it out. The non stick coating started to wear. I am on my second pan and I love at much at the first. It is so easy to use and to clean. You will really enjoy this one, it is worth every penny!

I have had this pan for several months and find myself reaching for it for just about everything. It is not only a wok, but the most versatile skillet I own. The food heats throughout and it is a breeze to clean.

Even though I personally like the sound of crunchy ice, soggy wine labels or drips across a table are no fun. With this beautiful acrylic "no ice" wine chiller from Jubilee--drips and such are solved. Richly textural embossed grapes trail up a unique double-walled inner chamber, keeping an already chilled bottle suitable for sipping about 2-3 hours (if the beverage of choice lasts that long).

Note: to further enhance cooling time for that 1st or second bottle and for a surprisingly decorative look, I enjoy half-filling the in-between area with lightly tinted crackling ice! (just stir in a few drops of liquid food color) A bottle of crisp Zinfandel floating amidst sparkling pink ice--makes for superb eye-to-lips candy.

Package this with four matching wine glasses, (which Amazon.com also carries) and you have a crystal looking, shatterproof set which would make a perfect hostess, house-warming, wedding, Valentines or anytime gift.

I have been looking for an iceless wine cooler for a while because a friend of mine had one and I really thought it was a neat idea! When I saw the "Jubilee Acrylic Embossed Grape Iceless Wine Cooler", I just had to purchase it. Well, this was really a surprise when I opened it and saw the beautiful embossing of grape clusters and grape leaves. I placed it on the table with a chilled bottle of my favorite white zinfandel and the color of light red and the beautiful label peeked through the clear cooler. The wine stayed chilled for several hours even though it was a warm evening.

This is a great pan to make oven goodies (frozen packaged french fries, chicken nuggets/tenders, fish sticks, breaded mushrooms, cheese sticks, jalapeno poppers, etc.) bake up nice and crispy and crunchy! The holes in the bottom of the pan make hot oven air circulate up underneath the pieces. The holes sit below raised ridges that hold the food up, so some fat can drain off. The food doesn't sit flat on the metal and turn mushy. On one end, there is a pouring lip so putting the food onto a plate is easy. This is a fantastic pan if you like it crispy and crunchy!

Perfect pan for Moms! I am a mother of 3 and small children who only like frozen chicken nuggets, fish sticks, tater tots and french fries. This pan makes all their favorite frozen foods crunchy and tasty instead of being soggy and bland!

My boys love making little baby cakes in this pan. The pan releases the cakes beautifully! I am very pleased with this pan!

I use this sheet for so many things. In the past, I have made blueberry mufins in it for a baby shower brunch and mini-bundt cakes for my neighbors as a gift (perfect size). Great pan with so many uses!

This pan is great. I didn't have to grease the pan at all. The non-stick coating is excellent. The mini loaves come out perfectly. This pan can be used for baking: cake mixes, bread mixes, anything at all. It's a must have for people who love to bake.

Great size loaves! This pan offers you the ability to make great mini loaves in one pan. Instead of trying to handle many individual loaf pans in your oven, use one simple, easy to use pan! These loaves make great gifts!!
