Perfect!

I bought one of these years ago from a high end kitchen wares shop. I loved it so much that I gave several as wedding gifts. They were always well-received. I loaned mine to someone, and it never came back. The kitchen shop stopped carrying the one that was dual use, slicer/mincer. I needed to process our garlic crop and wanted to slice the cloves and dehydrate the slices as it keeps so nicely in the cabinet that way. I purchased a different style of slicer that broke 6 cloves into a container of around 200. I ordered this. Not only was it delivered 3 days later, but it is perfection. Thank you for having it and for the prompt service.

Great tool

I have tried so many can openers and nothing worked except a knife. Handles would bend, cutting wheels would fall off. Brand name off name nothing would work. It has been a month and I am very happy with this. Just hope that it last so I dont have to buy it again.

These ARE NOT compatible

These castors cannot be used on the oven legs that come with the oven. Don't waste your money.

excellent pan too long to wait

This pan distributes the heat excellent and the non stick makes cleaning easy. Love the 3 I have but waiting for the rest of my order is hard. The wait is 3 months.

Highly recommend!

My family loves coffee. We took this on a lake cruise in early October. The weather was chilly and everyone was looking forward to some good hot coffee. This container kept the coffee hot for hours and was still hot over 6 hours later. Great product! Some insulated systems are difficult to carry but not this one. The handle made this very easy to transport. I highly recommend this product.

The long offset handle make it much easier to get leverage when turning. Faster than getting my big crank opener out. I highly recommend!

I would buy this product again if it had stronger feet!

I really like this beverage dispenser but it has two things that R weak. The legs on it are not able to carry the weight and when you wash it, it gets dented on the sides very easily so you have to be extreemly careful. Besides all that it keeps drinks hot and I like it. I wish it could just be made with stronger feet b/c the feet on the larger one broke within the first 2 weeks. Lydia

Alternative use of items purchased

My Order was for a 4.75 gal rectangular container with a fitted lid. I am using the container with an Anova Precision Cooker for Sous Vide recipes. I cut a hole in the center end of the lid, cut back the container rim a bit - both with a skill saw - to provide a steady mounting surface for the Anova and to provide the container a lid to minimize evaporation during cooking (which can take 40 to 70 hours...). The container's size (4.75gal) is large enough for me to cook several poaches of meat/veggies/etc at a time. I am totally satisfied with my purchase. It would have been a super storage bin except for my adaptation for Sous Vide purposes.

Best way to JUICE everything out of your Citrus

We had experienced a similiar, COMMERCIAL juicer at a Vacation Rental in Fort Myers Beach, so we just HAD to HAVE this. No more CRAMPED hands from manuak squuezers, no more pulling out the electric juicer. This does it the BEST and gets ALL the juice from every Lemon, Line, Orange, Grapefruit ~ incredible.

Wonderful

This dispenser is the best. Keeps the beverage hot for hours. I heated the dispenser with boiling water for 5 minutes. Poured out the water... then poured my hot beverage into the dispenser. Twisted on the lid, pulled out the legs, put a Hot Chocolate tag over the front label and loved the look.

Well-made sheet pan

I was expecting something a lot less but to my surprise I received two sheet pans that were well-made, sturdy, and I don't have to worry about whatever I am baking sliding off the pan. The size I purchased fit perfectly in my toaster oven. Also, these pans will not rust or get a tarnished look. This was a good purchase.

Perfect for my needs.

Pan warped when used for baking.
April 16, 2016

Beautiful pan if it had just not warped in use.

I have been looking for a stainless steel half sheet/bun pan for years. I thought this was it. Not so, it warped during my first use of it.. A baking pan should work in the manner it is designed and sold to perform. They did refund my money but only after 4 phone calls and filling out the online return form on their website. They told me they had to talk to the manufacturer and get their permission before a refund could be issued.

Jupiter (Focus) Juicer

We have had this juicer 7 days now and processed 9 bags of Blood Oranges. It is without a doubt the finest juicer on the market! I have to laugh at people who say that you can't get a tall glass under this unit - you can get a 16oz Pyrex measuring cup underneath it with ease, so if you can't get more than 4 oz of juice at a time it's your own fault. Clean-up is a breeze and takes less than 3 minutes. Removable parts are dishwasher safe, what could be easier. One last word. Several other commenters have complained that the handle will come down unexpectedly and hurt your hands. Seriously? If you are unsure of how to operate this juicer safely (and the instructions clearly state that you are to raise the handle all the way) - you really should not be operating this juicer at all.

Great Citrus/Pomegranate Juicer

Use this once or twice every day for fresh citrus juice, including combinations of juice oranges, grapefruit, tangerine and pomegranate. Also great for lemons & limes. I bought the white enamel model 5706, fits nicely into my kitchen color scheme. Easy to use and easy to clean. Strongly recommend quartering larger fruit such as grapefruit and pomegranate due to only negative that I subtract a star for: when juicing larger fruit, the suction pulls/snaps the cone out of the base. A stronger connector would resolve this, but guessing it could present manufacturing issues. Quartering larger fruit prevents this from happening. Otherwise, a frequently used, useful and welcome addition to my kitchen! Far superior to and cleaner than a motorized citrus juicer. FWIF, the 31" seems to be the height with the lever extended in the up position, so not as high on the kitchen counter as I first expected. Actual height on counter with lever in down position for storage is 18.5"

This juicer is great. We use it for orange and grapefruit crushes and have no complaints. It is very easy to use and is the perfect size for your larger citrus items.

Great product

Freshly squeezed orange juice is just so delicious and this product makes it ridiculously easy. It was a present for my husband, who had used one before and loved it. I was a bit skeptical but I think I use it more than he does now. It is a bit heavy to move around (we have very little counter space), so I put it on a cutting board that can slide across the counter.

Worth the wait

This product was part of a larger assembly so without it, we couldn't make juice. The fact that it was gifted to us broken didn't obscure the thoughts behind it. The design is very "steampunk" and it was extremely easy to remove/replace the broken piece. It's so retro and fun to use that we actually have kids fighting for a chance to use it.
