Nostalgia Electrics JFD100 Cake Pop & Donut Hole Bakery

Can be used for large round cakepops
I was hesitant to order this because I saw a recent review saying that the bottom of the device created muffin-like donut holes, but I decided to try it anyway. That reviewer must have a defective unit, because this creates ROUND donut holes as the top and bottom plates of the unit have round holes. I made cakepops using this and the top and bottom plates were shaped correctly and the result was cake balls the size of a regular donut hole (maybe 1.5" wide?). I used strawberry cake mix in a box (with no frosting added) and baked them for about 5-6 minutes in this unit, they came out light brown on the outside (but not crispy) and soft and moist on the inside. The cake balls fit onto a cakepop stick just fine, but I really recommend popsicle sticks because the cakepop is heavier than traditional sized cakepops and may be very top heavy. No complaints with how it performed, easy and simple.

I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to make sure people were not put off by...

Breakfast on the run-sausage bites,donuts, fritters, or Danish Ebelskiver!
A home delivery service sells a delicious breakfast product-sausage in the middle of blueberry muffin batter but round! Hmm! I bet my machine would do that better! My head began to dream of all the treats I could create with this new idea..bacon,cheese,veggies, in the middle of???? etc.And fruit bites would give a bite of dessert without a pan sitting around.

I bought this maker because of a family tradition--Danish Ebelskiver (a round pancake that takes a specialty pan) with a filling of some applesauce. I have a smooth top stove so the original pan slid around and I never became good enough to enjoy making them often; my family loved them though.

I discovered this baker at a local store yesterday and bought it, hoping to enjoy fresh donut holes and ebelskivers, fritters and beignet type of morning treats. The book mentions bite size brownies so that expands the machine's usage. I can think of many other uses.

This morning, as a shortcut, I tried a...

Oster CKSTRCMS14-R 14-Cup (Cooked) Rice Cooker with Steam Tray, Red

Great appliance, lousy instruction manual
This is my first rice cooker purchase, and my first attempt at rice turned out nicely. So far the appliance has worked great.

My only complaint is that the included manual does NOT do a good job at explaining HOW to make the rice. I expected an instruction manual/mini cookbook as you often see with kitchen appliances. This book has a tiny manual, and the instructions for cooking the rice are buried in the "how to's" of turning the appliance on, and such. I'm no dummy, but it took me several read-through's to figure out what I was doing. Oster could've spent a little more $$ on making a clear, concise manual to go with their product.

That being said, I love it so far! After many years of terrible batches of rice, I think this may be saving me! Looking forward to more successful rices ventures.

Nice Cooker
This rice cooker works excellent. Basically put rice and water in, then push button. "Set it and forget it". Perfect rice everytime.

Another RICE COOKER review from that Asian guy who eats rice every single day.
This is NOT the same as the one pictured on this page. I like this one better though, as it has more upscale feel to it. The white parts of the cooker (panel and handle) are actually black, which is why i like it better. The product I received is exactly this one: Oster 4751 14-Cup Rice Cooker, Black, only this one is in red. This is probably an updated version of the product.

Bottom line: Who cares? They function the same.

This review will look and sound like my other top rated Amazon review here: Oster CKSTRCMS65 3-Cup (Uncooked), 6-Cup (Cooked) Rice Cooker with Steam Tray, Black, because I feel the same.

"I do not see any reason why I should not recommend this."

This Oster rice cooker does what it is supposed to do, and that is to cook rice. I am from a South East Asian country so I know what I am...

Panasonic MC-V145MT 12-Pack Type U-6 Upright Vacuum Bag

Microfiltration
I will admit to enjoying cleaning my own house as it not only burns calories, it allows me to take a break from thinking intensely for hours at a time. Housecleaning can almost be meditative if you find the right cleaners. What is especially enjoyable about the Panasonic U6 bags is the microfiltration.

Over the years I've had bad experiences with vacuum bags that either broke, allowed the dust and dirt to return into the air or that simply could not contain more than

Chef's Choice 830 WafflePro Heart Waffle Iron

Best Waffle Maker And Very Easy To Clean
I purchased the WafflePro 830B (Belgian Waffle version). The waffles are uniformly cooked, and nice and crisp. Love the beeper function it beeps when the waffles are done. No more guessing.

The best part - I added too much batter and of course the batter overflowed past the nicely designed drip edge. Once the iron cooled down I ran my finger around the side of the unit and all of the overflow batter came off easily by wiping my finger over it. No scrubing required. The secret is that the overflow runs on to the plastic body. No metal to burn to and adhere to. The unit cleaned up in a heart beat... Best unit I have seen yet. In the last two months I have tried and returned both the Villaware and the Krups units prior to buying this unit. I am keeping this unit as it is the best, easy to clean, and perfect waffles every time.

Best "five of hearts" waffle iron available
The non-stick does not let waffles stick. The automatic ready indicator works for both heating and cooking. The hinge is articulated so the waffles come out with uniform thickness. The edge of the hot part of the iron has a channel to catch excess batter, and, if that overflows, the plastic surrounding the iron has another channel to prevent batter dripping on your counter. The settings for crispness work. The recipe that comes with it is tasty. A perfect product.

The ready indicator has an audible beep, which is great if you are absent-minded before coffee and multi-task while making waffles, but may be annoying to some people.

Don't try to squeeze the batter with the lid, let the weight of the lid do the work. The waffles will generally adhere to the lid more than the base, but peel off very easily if pricked with a fork at the edge, with no waffle bits left on the iron.

Good waffles while it worked
This thing whipped out good quality waffles so fast it was amazing.

Unfortunately, after about 20 uses, it just stopped working. I opened the thing up and couldn't find the problem (I'm an electrical engineer). After reading another review with the same problem, I don't plan on buying another one. Too bad, because it was a great waffle maker. I just hope my next waffle maker is as fast as this one.

Nutone Filter Bags For CV350 CV352 CV353 CV450 CV653 CV750 - Filter Bags For CV350 CV352 CV3

not genuine product
The quality of the product was not necessarily bad (that is still to be seen by how it holds up), but the product was represented as genuine nutone bags and they are not.

Well made
Product is as advertised, but well made and easy to use. Works great, with no leakage or dust escaping. Recommend.

Great Product with a Great Price
I was very pleased with the price and quality of this product. This is a "must have" if you have a central vacuum system.

Vitamix 2-Part Lid and Plug, 64-Ounce (High Profile)

Very good
It dits with my vitamix 5200 that I bought brand new a couple of months ago. It is pretty much the same lid and plug than the original.

PERFECT
The lid is exactly what I needed. It shipped promptly and works perfectly. It even has a locking feature that the original did not have.

Difference between 48 and 64 ounce containers
I couldn't find a lid for my 48 ounce container and this looks like it is the same. I took a chance and ordered one. Unfortunatly there is a slight difference between the two lids and it wouldn't work. The rubber cap is slightly different and the plastic center is slightly different. :(
I returned it with no problems. :)
I did manage to get the correct replacement from the Vitamix company. :)
