tropicalports: ReviewTransporting foods for lunches and picnics and storing leftovers for reheating is a cinch with the Pyrex Storage Plus set. Included in this set are two 2-cup rounds, one 3 1/2-cup rectangular, one 4-cup round, and one 6-cup rectangular storage piece, all glass, with plastic covers. Pyrex glass doesn't warp, stain, or absorb odors, and can be used in the oven, microwave, oven, refrigerator, or freezer for storing, reheating and serving. The set is easy to stack, so it takes up less cabinet space when not in use. The set includes a pamphlet with safety and use instructions, and each glass piece is covered by a two-year warranty. --Rhonda Langdon
Pyrex Storage Sets I have recieved a Pyrex Storage Set as a gift. This product I would highly recommend. I have used mine on an almost constant basis without any damage to them, which is quite amazing considering I am rather clumsy with dishes and have two little kids! The product is very durable and can be used by anyone. I have even usedthem in the microwave and oven without any negative results. The only downside is I can not use the lids in the microwave or oven, but this is only a minor nusiance compared to some other plastic containers I have used which even though claimed to be microwave safe still melted.
I would highly recommend this product for anyone that is on the go and needs a high quality storage product. Like I said earlier I got this product as a gift and have not had to replace any of it in over three years that I have had this one. Excellent product and very easy to use!
The chef's knife is a kitchen staple, with a wide straight edged blade ideally suited to cutting and chopping fruits and vegetables, herbs, and so on. Some may find the 10" length too awkward and unwieldy, and for those people we recommend this slightly shorter knife. R. H. Forschner is a division of Swiss Army Brands, Inc, renowned for the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. These knives are specially ground and tempered so that they can be resharpened over and over again, keeping a sharp edge throughout their lifetime. State of the art technology blended with old world craftsmanship produce cutting instruments of excellent quality, at reasonable prices. Forschner Victorinox Fibrox knives have earned high marks in a well-known cooking magazine which stringently tests kitchen products.
Amazing Bargain This knife is fabulous. Sturdy and durable construction and it cuts like a hot knife through cold butter. The price for such a great knife cannot be beat.

Loved it when it Worked! I absolutely relied on this gizmo to chose my outfits for work as there was no question when I needed to add a sweater before leaving. However, the outside temperature reading no longer works. I went to their online site and followed all the instructions, but alas, could not get it to work again!
Plan and prepare with a weather station Whether your are planning a family camping trip, backyard barbecue, wedding or any other outdoor activity Local weather conditions can vary block to block and while traveling. You may need to keep temperatures in certain rooms in your home at an optimum temperature (i.e. a baby's room, wine cellar, etc.. During severe weather or during power outages, you will want the latest and most precise weather information. Instant temperature information relayed from a wireless sensor lets you know what you are up against and know what to wear for the day without stepping outside. A weather station can also control energy costs and save money as you precisely monitor you home or office environment
Better than Mr Coffee I have only owned the Hamilton Beach Iced Tea Maker for a couple of months but so far I am happy with my purchase. I have owned several Mr Coffee Iced Tea makers over the years and I can't even tell you how many pitchers I have purchased because of them continuing to split down the seam and leak. When it was time to replace the Mr Coffee yet again because of leaking, I decided to do some searching through the Amazon reviews to see if there was a better alternative.
I came across the Hamilton Beach reviews and I liked what I read for the most part (except for the negative reviews, of course.)The Hamilton Beach Tea Maker was very reasonably priced and I thought I would take a chance on it.
It has made great tea for me and been much easier to clean than the poorly designed tea basket for the Mr Coffee. The Mr Coffee tea basket has raised ridges in it that are impossible to remove the tannin stains from. The Hamilton Beach's tea basket is easy to clean. I like the trim size of the pitcher and it looks like it is not going to be splitting like theMr Coffee pitcher. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I haven't owned it that long to see how it will hold up.
If you like me are fed up with Mr Coffee, try the Hamilton Beach and I think you will be glad you did.
* Take your drink to go * Use the travel lid to drink from * Great for fruit smoothies, icy drinks, shakes, and more * Stainless steel blades * One touch blending * Easy storage * Less cleaning * Single serving size
Great and Great Smoothie Tip I agree with most of the reviews that say this is great for simple smoothie recipes. It DOES work better than my full size blender for this type of job and I have been very happy with it.
One other thing I've learned is to just leave your serving of frozen fruit (or ice cubes) out at room temperature for 3-5 mins. FIRST, then make your drink. You could always microwave the fruit for 10-15 secs. if you're in a big hurry. This simple step will make the job that much easier for this or any blender to do.
So many weather stations . . . so many of them ugly. But not this one. LaCrosse Technology trimmed this wireless wonder with beautiful cherrywood so it would look right at home in a well-appointed den or office. This elegant weather station displays the time, outdoor and indoor temperatures, indoor humidity, and barometric air pressure tendency in easy-to-read LCD graphics. The clock resets automatically via a radio-controlled signal, so it's alway accurate. An arrow indicates where the air pressure's headed, and graphical forecast icons (sunny, cloudy, rain) tell you what to expect, weatherwise. The Wireless Weather Forecast Station can stand on a desk or be hung on a wall (after removing the detachable base). It comes with one remote TX6U temperature sensor, with a range of approx. 80 feet. Up to three sensors can be used altogether. The mainstation and remote sensor each run on two AA alkaline batteries (not included).
Excellent weather station: accurate, durable, great value! I have owned the La Crosse WE-7014CH wireless weather station for a few years now (at least 4-5 yrs).
It has worked very well from day one. It's very accurate, easy to set up and the batteries in both the receiver and sensor last a long time (I'm sure it's been well over a year, close to two since I last replaced batteries). I have always had sensor sitting in outside window ledge, exposed to all East coast weather without any problems.
This weather station is a reasonably priced, well built product.
Highly recommend this and any of La Crosse products.
tropicalports: ReviewDisplaying the latest in contemporary aesthetics, Corelle's Square Round line consists of square plates and bowls with rounded corners, delineated round centers, and subtly lifted rims. The Simple Lines pattern presents a white background minimally graced by several swooping thin lines of black. The effect is at once stark yet artistically appealing, creating a dinnerware pattern that can be used for everyday, year-round dining or saved for special occasion entertaining.
Like all Corelle dinnerware, Simple Lines is made of laminated layers of glass that produce incredible strength while being very lightweight, thin, and stackable. Moreover, because the enamel pigments are fired onto the dinnerware, the design won't fade or scratch off over time. This 16-piece set is comprised of four of each of the following: 10-1/4-inch dinner plate, 8-3/4-inch lunch plate, 22-ounce cereal or soup bowl, and 12-ounce porcelain mug. While sudden changes in temperature should be avoided, Corelle Square Round is safe for the microwave, oven, and dishwasher, and is covered by a 3-year warranty against chips and breakage. --Ann Bieri
