Editorial Review

Few things say "American kitchen" better than the sound of percolating coffee. The Farberware Millenium percolator is an attractive, heavyweight stainless-steel addition to any kitchen, providing fast and trouble-free coffee making--and that classic percolated coffee flavor. Leave it out on the counter, or put it away. The short cord is detachable, so you can bring the pot to the table to serve. While the pot is plugged in, however, it maintains the coffee at a "Keep Warm" temperature. Read more

Features

• Stylish percolator brews 8 cups of coffee
• Stainless steel with a stay-cool handle
• Keep-warm function when pot is plugged in
• Detachable cord for easy serving
• Measures 8-3/4 by 7 by 11 inches

Met All Expectations
So far so good.Makes great tasting coffee.Brews coffee as fast or faster than those "drip machines".Two minor complaints - I wish it had an indicator light to show the unit is plugged in, and should have a water level indicator.

Disappointed
Very noisy and takes too long to brew.Boxed it up to return but I misplaced the packing slip.Will keep using mom's very old Corelle electric percolator.

Makes great Coffee, cheap price
Bought this to replace the same model that was 10 years old

Good Purchase
I am glad I did the research and am quite happy with the Griddler. Previously I purchased the newest George and returned it because of it's size. The Griddler is not that much bigger however it opens up to double the grilling space. The plates are easily removed, cleaned, and replaced.
Excellent griddler
I just used my griddler for the first time after ordering and receiving it quickly from Amazon (Thanks Amazon for the fast shipping).This was an excellent buy.I especially liked that you can detach the griddle irons and wash them in the sink.The grease ran right into the little cups and it cooked the boneless chicken quickly and with no mess.A quick tip is to spray on non stick cooking spray and this helps with the clean up.I liked the design, it heated up quickly.I look forward to using this appliance often.Having used the other grills, I think I made a good buy.Thanks everyone for the reviews, reading them convinced me to make this purchase!

GREAT ADDITION TO OUR KITCHEN
Just what we've been looking for.My family loves grilled sandwiches, but we also use a griddle - especially on the weekends with big breakfasts.What a solution to our cooking needs!Easy to use and easy to clean, we store it over our refrigerator and use it almost daily.Great design and never any spills, we give this product the highest praise! ...

foodsaver saviors
Foodsavers are the best invention of the 20th century along with the foodsaver bags, especially up here in Alaska where we put away a lot of meat and fish.

Food Saver Rolls
I like to save money by buying in bulk and portioning out foods for each meal.It cuts down on defrosting time of chicken, fish, steak, hamburger, etc., by wrapping individually instead of in one big lump. My 4 yr. old Tilia Food Saver is still working fantastic at keeping freezer burn off my frozen meats and fish. I'm thinking about upgrading to a newer Tilia but just can't discard a perfectly good machine yet.

Not happy with this toaster - many problems
Received this toaster as a Christmas present in 2004.From day one I was not very happy with it.The knobs and temperature control are difficult to use - sometimes it would bake good, other times it would not.About 6 months ago I noticed the numbers were rubbed off of the timer dial.About 3 months ago the timer dial became loose and it was difficult to set the time.Today the timer dial broke off completely.So I got about a year and a half of poor use out of it.So, don't purchase this product, it is not worth it.

Anyone know where I can get a new knob??
I agree with most reviews that the toast function sucks.Although I haven't noticed one side being hotter than the other, a portion of my timer knob chipped and now I have to use a screwdriver to set the time.I've also has a very difficult time toasting nuts!They always get burnt.

On fire
Our toastmaster oven caught fire over the weekend.We were lucky that the toaster oven was the only casualty.Of course there was also the mess to clean up after the use of the fire extinguisher.It could have been disastrous.I think we only had the toaster oven for barely 6 months.I will not be buying this model again. ...

Grilling really can't get much easier than this. After assembling the grill (which takes only a few minutes), simply plug it in and allow about 10 minutes to fully preheat the surface while you gather your steaks, kebabs, or whatever's to be grilled. The electric heat has an adjustable range from low (for keeping food warm) to high (for searing steaks). The nonstick grill surface not only means you can use a minimum of added fat, but it also makes cleanup a cinch. The surface has a subtle slope, with channels that draw accumulated fat or other liquids into a tray just below the surface. The high domed and vented lid helps create a circular flow of hot air to ensure even cooking--particularly important for a large roast or whole chicken.Read more

Features

• No-fuss grilling made easy, for use indoors or outside
• Grill can be used on pedestal (stands about -1/2 feet high) or on tabletop
• Uses electric heat, with adjustable range from low to high
• Sloping grate base draws fat away from food to collect in easy-to-empty tray
• Grill top measures 17 inches across for generous cooking capacity

did anyone have a problem with this unit not being sturdy
did i put it together wrong? my unit is not sturdy and this unit has so many great remarks

Love it!!
This grill is perfect for my use.I don't have have a tank of gas in my yard or wait for charcoal to get to the right temp.No fire hazard.All I do is plug it in wait 5 minutes and I have a grill top that browns with grill marks and nothing falls threw the grate.The size is very adequate for my needs.I can grill up to 6 chicken breats at one time.I put the cover on, close the vent, and can ensure proper doneness with juicy flavor. The grill cleans easily. I put aluminum foil over the drip pan and just toss.I found a small grill cover which keeps the unit clean and dry.I just love this grill.

A propane grill alternative
I bought this for our vacation home because I wanted something ready to use when we arrive.This grill just plugs in - grills food easily, clean up is a snap and is easy to pick up and store.I got exactly what I was looking for.I had thought of getting the Weber Baby-Q but that cost over twice what the George Foreman does and the cooking surface is larger.I am extremely happy with my choice. ...

Use these lightweight plastic tubes to stuff your home-ground meats into natural casings for hand-made sausages. The small tube shoots out breakfast-sausage-size links; the larger one is great for boudin blanc, Italian sausage, and more. Each works in conjunction with KitchenAid's food grinder attachment, and the set comes with instructions for handling and stuffing casings. Tubes are dishwasher-safe. Read more

• All parts dishwasher safe for easy clean-up
• Can be used with any KitchenAid stand mixer

Another excellent attachment for your Kitchenaid
If you have never considered making your own sausage, reconsider it.This sausage stuffer pays for itself after the first couple uses (provided you already have the food grinder attachment).Anyone who has ever been to Europe knows that Americans have been getting fed tasteless sausage forever.It doesn't have to be that way.You download hundreds of high quality sausage recipes and buy casings from the internet and make your own.
Hole to small - Metal not plastic.
Can't use this stuffer. First, there was a sharp lip on the stuffer and I could not get the casings over it. When I finally did I had a hard time slidding the casing up because the plastic surface was to rough. The hole size was also to small. In my opinion the part should be made out of metal, which is smother. I ended up using my old hand crank unit.

Works great, but ask KithcenAid for the Wood Stomper
Love the food grinder, hate the new 1-piece stomper tool.You have to call the manufacturer to get a free wood stomper mailed to you which works better.They have gotten a lot of complaints.The plastic stomper is hard to use with the big end, plus, it sucks liquid back out of the grinder, causing the food to be dry. ...

Editorial Review

Equipped with an exceptionally powerful 280-watt motor, this versatile appliance is a combination hand mixer and hand blender. For mixing, beating, and whipping, there are two cunningly designed beaters that produce volume while reducing splashing. For kneading, there's a strong dough hook, and for blending, there's an attachment that can be used in the accompanying 2-cup container (or any container) for small jobs like salad dressings. For chopping, the power unit attaches to another container with its own blades to make quick work of nuts, onions, hard cheeses, herbs, garlic, and meats. (The container's base serves as a snap-on plastic lid for storage.) The mixer/blender has three speeds and a power-pulse button for working through tough jobs. It stands upright on a nonskid base, and its power cord pivots to stay out of the way or can be locked in place. This appliance carries a one-year warranty against defects. Read more

Great for small batches of baby food!
I would give this mixer 5 stars, except that I need to buy my third mixer in 11 years. Its nice to have one tool that is a mixer, can make healthy fruit smoothies, AND can make small batches of homemade baby food. I used this small chopper to make baby food for all 4 of my kids, the mixer to make cakes and other things, and the blender for smoothies for the kids. If you have babies, or plan on having them, this is great to have. The bad thing, is that the motor burns out. I don't feel I abuse it, or overuse it, but my first mixer burned out in about 5 years, my second in another 5 years. This is not a long term appliance. My current multimix is a 280 watt, but my first one was smaller wattage I believe.

Very good mixer for the price
I must admit that I did not have high expectations for this mixer for the price.But the unit works very well.I was initially put off by the beaters as they seem very lightweight and flimsy.But they hold up well to use in spite of their lack of heft.I have been very happy with it.

Wife loves it
Our 15 year old Braun hand mixer was giving up the ghost, so looked through the mixers on Amazon.This mixer had by far the best feedback.Bought it, and everyone is right.This is a great product.Not the most expensive, but works well.Attachments actually work and are useful. ... Read more

A healthier yogurt!
This yogurt maker is very easy to use. I personally like to add a little vanilla and honey to the finished product but you don't have to if you prefer the plain.The only negative thing about it is that if you use the recommended amount of milk and fill all 8 containers you are left with very small portions. Therefore, I fill only 7 of them for a reasonable size portion. I also like the fact that you know exactly what is in your yogurt and you can control the amount of sugar added as well.

Yogurt Maker
Before buying this yogurt maker I looked at several different kinds and determined this one to be the best. For one thing, it has eight jars instead of six, and you can also buy an additional eight jars.The jars are not glass, so they're not as likely to break.The jars go into the yogurt maker in two rows of four each, rather than in a circular arrangement, so all the jars should get uniformly warm and the yogurt in each of them should come out the same consistency.All in all, a nicely-designed set.

My First One!
I was a little nervous about making the yogurt, but my first time out it turned out fabulous!This is a very simple machine with very clear instructions.Used 1% cow's milk and can't wait to make the next batch. ... Read more

Great disappointment. That summarizes my experience with this attachment.
Amazingly easy to use, and wonderful quality in all ways.

Gold standard?
There are pros and cons to this conical, gold-coated filter.
EXCELLENT!
I have used this filter with my Grind-n-Brew for 2 years. I put it in the dishwasher at least twice and have never had any problems with it. I have no idea what these other reviewers are doing wrong, but I love this filter. I never have grounds in my coffee. There is always a little darker/thicker coffee in the bottom of a good cup of coffee!
Totally disappointed
I bought this item with the impression that permanent coffee filters made coffee taste better, but I can honestly say it doesn't.Once more, there are still grounds in my coffee and a disgusting syrup at the bottom of my cup.I'm not sure if the filter I got is bad.It did come from Amazon and I haven't had problems with anything I've got from them, so I'm not necessarily accusing them of giving me bad product, but I'll leave that open for later interpretation.

Horrible Product
This toaster is very cheaply made.It reaks of burining plastic whenever you use it.DO NOT BUY!

So convenient & idiot-proof; my favorite kitchen appliance!
I was a bit skeptical when I read all the rave reviews for this toaster. All 100+ reviews sounded too good to be true. But the reviewers weren't lying.I don't know how to cook anything other than instant noodles & microwave dinners. But I managed to use this toaster to make my own "Egg McMuffin" in just a few minutes! You can't imagine the self-satisfaction I got from that. I couldn't even make an egg before without difficulty, but now I can easily accomplish that with this toaster. I'm also not much of a housekeeper, but cleaning up was a breeze. Just wash the 3 small trays and wipe the heating/water tray with a paper towel soaked in some white vinegar. I would have to waste a lot more time & wash a lot more stuff to make the same thing without this toaster, not to mention I don't actually have the skills to make it without this thing.
Good idea, bad execution
I think this is a great idea HOWEVER, please be forewarned -

Now I'm a Believer
When my girlfriend recieved this for her birthday (she's a long time believer in the Cuisinart) I knew it would be an upgrade from my modest hand me down food processor, but I was blown away.First off it weighs a ton, which really means something with motors.The weight was put to good use, as it effortlessly mowed through food, and it did so with a delicacy that makes food so enjoyable (I ate enough pulverized crap as an infant, so I appreciate foods with texture, and the sharp blades make sure things stay the way they should).I never thought the difference between a regular food processor and a Cuisinart would be so dramatic, but it is.The 7 cup capacity is easily sufficient for a couple adults (I imagine you could throw in a few kids for good measure), and the included blades tend to most uses.It can allegedly do a good job mixing cakes and kneading dough, and based on its overall performance, I believe it, but I'd rather use my Kitchenaid mixer for that.

...replaced the mixer, blender, grater, and other food processor I owned...
I love this product.Since I got this product I would have to say I have used it more than I have ever used any small appliance.It is a mixer, grater, grinder, blender, and food processor in one.I absolutely love it.

Liked the product...HATED the reliability!!!!!
I'm currently in the market for a toaster oven to replace this one.We went through three in less than 2 years.The first one broke within a couple of weeks and we took in back to the store.The second one broke within six months and we sent it back to the manufacturer (think it cost us $10 to fix).Now the third one broke and we are looking for another manufacturer.

What did I do without a toaster oven?
Since I got this wonderful toaster oven a year ago, my big gas oven has gotten very lonely. This little gem cooks and bakes well, makes great toast, reheats great, all without heating up the kitchen. Getting a toaster oven-sized Silpat baking sheet made it even better. Get this! You'll be asking yourself like I have "What did I do without a toaster oven?"

Great oven just ok toaster
Great basic oven for heating and cooking.The convection feature really is a nice addition especially if you have a large regular oven and do not want to turn it on for smaller bakes.The toaster function requires almost always using the highest setting when doing any whole grain products-often you have to add additional time not nearly as good as a basic toaster oven. ...

Face it, sometimes the best thing about going out to a movie is the popcorn, those big plump kernels that always seem so much better than what you pop at home. But this simple stovetop popper changes all that. It really does make awesome, fresh-popped corn that might make you start renting videos instead. The sturdy aluminum pan has a clip-on lid with a stay-cool wooden handle. A turn crank on the handle spins the key element: the stainless steel stirring system that keeps the corn moving across the bottom of the pan, for even heat and oil distribution, ensuring the best popping results. The lid has steam vents, to help keep the popcorn dry and crisp. The enclosed booklet is a wonderful resource, with not only clear and detailed instructions, but also dozens of recipes and popcorn history and lore. These are folks who really do know their popcorn, and the results are outstanding. Read more

Far and away the best and easiest popcorn!
For years, I used an air popper -- but would have never bought it had I known about the wonderful Whirley Pop. It is light and easy to lift, and pops the world's best popcorn, WITHOUT ANY UNPOPPED KERNELS!Although best with coconut or peanut oil, plain old canola oil does just fine.Also, if I add salted butter to the pan with the oil and popcorn, I don't even need any salt -- and need A LOT less butter than I did with the air popper.Also, with the air popper I always had many unpopped kernels, and, no matter how careful I was, had popcorn all over the kitchen.No such problems with this ... It is WONDERFUL in all respects.HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION.

This makes great popcorn
I purchased the Whirley-Pop a few weeks ago and it makes very good popcorn, but you have to be careful not to keep the heat on high during the entire popping time.I put the heat on high to start the popping and then turn it down to medium. If you leave it on high the popcorn burns and sticks to the bottom of the popper. I think it would be very good if the popper was made in a heavy stainless steel, it wouldn't be so apt to burn.However, this being said, it makes great popcorn and the wire stirrer keeps the popcorn moving. Every bit of popcorn popped.

Really glad I bought this
I don't like popcorn, but my family does, and I started to dread the smell of burnt kernels stinking up the microwave from popcorn popped in those paper bags.Nor did I want to sacrifice my All-Clad saucepan to pop plain popcorn on the stovetop.I bought the Whirley Pop on a whim. It looked quaint, like something in an old Sears catalog. Turns out, it makes superior popcorn--fluffier than the other methods produce, faster, and with few, if any, stray kernels.Not that I eat any, well, just a few to sample.With a little butter, thank you. ...

Excellent bread machine
I own the zojirushi bread machine for about a year. I bake 1-2 per week. The machine makes excellent bread & dough. I haven't bought a loaf of bread since I bought this machine. When I want a more crusty bread, make pizza, or make a foccacia I use the dough cycle with amazing results. Highly reccomend this product.
use it every day
I bought my bread machine a few weeks ago and I use it every day. The white and rye bread recipes turn out perfectly every time.I've also made an apple cake and two meatloafs.I tried one wheat bread loaf ... it was very tasty, but not quite the consistency that I like ... so I need to play around with that one alittle bit. I've never been a cook and definitely have never baked a loaf of bread before ... but now that my kids are grown up, I now have some time to work in the kitchen.I highly recommend this machine.

Teflon Bonding Failure
Within a few weeks of purchase the teflon in the Zojirushi pan started to blister and flake off. This is NOT the result of customer abuse but a manufacturing defect.

When set on low for all-day simmering, this cooker from the makers of the original Crock Pot slowly tenderizes meat, turning even budget cuts into juicy meals. A modest 3-1/2-quart size, the oval-shaped crock holds enough chicken, beef, stew or soup for two to three people. The temperature knob has three settings: off, low, and high. The crock, which lifts from the base for cleaning, features a rinse-clean, lifetime stick-resistant coating. As long as extreme changes in temperature are avoided, such as placing in cold water when hot, the crock should give years of service. Both the crock and lid are dishwasher-safe. A one-year warranty covers this slow cooker from defects. Read more

Great slow cooker
I bought this smaller crock pot as I also have a 6 quart Crock Pot and sometimes the 6 quart is too big for some of my recipes. It works great and cleans up very easily. I think the removable stoneware was one of the best things they have done to improve the Crock Pot. I am a loyal Rival customer and have always been pleased with their products.

Perfect for lentils and Indian dhal cooking
This is very good for Indian dhals and lentil cooking. With pressure cookers, there are spilling and foaming problems when you cook Indian dhals, and the kitchen needs to be cleaned constantly. The slow cooker does not have that probelm.
Very useful kitchen appliance
I bought a large slow cooker from amazon and ordered this smallermodel about a week later -- it's a handy size for smaller dishes. It's an ideal design. And it turns out incredible oatmeal! Among many other dishes. It's the perfect size for a three- or four-pound chicken.

works great
After reading the reviews, I decided to try these, since I wasn't too thrilled with either the cost or quality of the senseo pods. After getting my three sets in the mail, I went to my grocery store, bought the Starbucks Sumatra whole beans, ground them to expresso grind, and went to try the ecopads. I followed the instructions, put the ecopad in the machine (perfect fit), hit the 8oz button, and wa - la! I would challenge anyone to tell the difference between the stuff you pay $3.50 a cup for at Starbucks. I'm definately hooked. I can't see how other reviewers have had problems with these. They are easy to fill, and fit perfectly in the machine. They are a bit messy to clean up, but its a fair trade off for the awesome coffee and the cost savings over the pods or actually going to starbucks. I would estimate I will get 50-60 cups out of a $6 store bought bag of coffee. Basically, one heaping teaspoon fills up the ecopad perfectly. Also I would estimate getting hundreds of uses out of each ecopad - they seem very durable. I am looking forward to trying different coffee's with these. Well worth the tiny investment!

Works perfectly
If you know how to grind your own beans (and adjust that grind) it'll work great!Easy to fill and clean if you don't mind putting forth a minimum of effort.If you want a quick hassle-free cup of coffee buy the regular gross senseo pods, if you want to take 2 minutes to brew an excellent cup of your favorite coffee, buy the ecopad.

Useful, but don't lose that lid!
When I tried the Senseo with the original Douwe Egberts medium roast coffee I was hit by how harsh and acidic it was, so I decided to try it with the EcoPads and the same coffee I usually use with the Toddy cold-brew system. The coffee made this way tasted slightly weak, oddly, and you can only make a single 4 oz cup at a time when using the EcoPad because of the way it fits in the holder. However, it was enough for me to realize that the main problem was the Douwe Egberts coffee, not the Senseo process.
