"These are a great deal. the three pockets are large enough to hold the check book folders. fits most sizes. durable comfortable material."

"I bought these after getting tired if wearing old, worn out ones all the time."
"Well made apron with three good pocket space."

Reviews
"I & others use at all my bar-b-que's or cookouts AND everyday cooking, no longer mess up or have to change clothes to hostess or entertain, just remove and put in soak wash (with vinegar, i use for everything) ASAP to remove any grease stains setting in."
"I purchased this apron for my husband who is about 6'2, and it fitted him fine."
"I think it is delivers good price to value."
"I like that the apron strings can be tied in front of me, not behind my back."
"What was stated in the 1 and 2 stars is the absolute truth: it's not the dimensions stated, if you have a 32" waist or larger, you will have difficulty tying it. The stitching is not completed on the pockets and around any of the edges. I have taken the "free apron" to the dry cleaners today to see if they can help. They are adding 12" to the ties and resewing the pockets to cover the holes and take care of the unfinished ends. I have received several e-mails from the seller, with the last one being complete directions on how to delete my review or change it to 5 stars."
"This is a really nice apron."
"I'm a big guy and I've had trouble finding aprons that really fit, even from commercial kitchen supply places, but that's not the case with this one. The apron washes up beautifully (I use a warm cycle with my kitchen towels and potholders) coming out as spotless and supple as it was right out of the box."
"Great quality cooking apron."

"Its very good quality."
"My mother had something similar when I was growing up that rarely needed more than a rinse, while I have to scrub this with hot water and then dish-wash it after every use to prevent permanent stains."

Best Trivets

Lodge L8DOT3 Cast Iron Meat Rack/Trivet, Pre-Seasoned, 8-inch
When roasting meats in Dutch ovens, the Lodge trivet elevates your meat to prevent scorching and improve browning. 8-inch preseasoned cast-iron meat rack/trivet designed for all Lodge Dutch ovens 4 quarts or larger.
Reviews
"I like it equally for a triviet, as I want to protect my countertops and sometimes need to remove a hot pan from the stove to make room for something else."
"Put it on a medium burner, toss your sandwich in your skillet, or griddle, then (with tongs or welding gloves) plop this little trivet on top of your sandwich. If you need more weight, put some water in a saucepan and set it on the trivet - the "legs" on the trivet keep the saucepan from cooling the trivet and your sandwich is nicely smushed. I grabbed the trivet, put an olive on end over one of the small holes and pushed with my thumb - the pit jumped through the hole and left the meat on the other side. I grabbed a bowl, put the trivet on top and went through that can of olives in no time. Hint - the holes are beveled, and the olives sit very nicely in the bevel, but they don't pit as well - turn the trivet over and use the "flat" side of the hole."
"Just wish it had a tool to move it from burner to burner, but that's a small thing."
"Bought this as a rack for the inside of my lodge cast iron dutch overn and I love it, Used it to roast a whole chicken and it was perfect."
"Works exactly how it's supposed to the only downside I would say is that I wish it was lifted up a little higher because I usually put onions and mushrooms underneath my roasted chicken."
"Fits perfectly and just the right height to keep your meat off the bottom."
"Cast iron, works great as a trivet/rack, bacon press or induction hob."
"This item isn’t deep enough to really lift the meat up off the bottom of the pan."

Best Napkin Holders

simplehuman Quick Grip Napkin Holder, Stainless Steel
Precisely weighted tension arm to remove one napkin at a time.
Reviews
"I can be frugal about the oddest things and $19.99 seemed excessive for such a plain napkin holder. The design is simple and elegant like most simplehuman items and i can put regular napkins, take-out napkins, tea napkins - ANY napkin in this holder and it will still dispense ONE napkin at a time."
"To make matters worse, many napkin holders must be filled to a very specific point to work correctly. The concept used is simple: using a jointed arm with a specific amount of balance, it creates enough down-force to keep the napkins neatly in place, but is light enough to allow you to pull one napkin out without it disturbing the rest. Napkin type WILL come in to play to some degree, as will the ANGLE you remove these napkins from the holder. The napkins used in my video are made by Vanity Affair (they are the nicer napkins that I always thought were expensive until I found them here on Amazon for not much more than bargain brand ones.). Once you get used to operation, you will be able to remove just one napkin with wet hands, without getting other napkins wet...to date, this is the only product I have used that allows this."
"*Little fun fact, the other day I noticed this napkin holder is a kitchen table prop on the TV show "Two and a Half Men" (it's on the later seasons with Ashton Kutcher)."
"I purchased this sleek and modern napkin holder because I was frustrated with my pretty, vertical napkin holder from Crate & Barrel."
"My husband was very skeptical and thought it looked goofy but now loves it."
"Simple human products are very innovative, love the design and style and holds them down."
"Like most simplehuman products I own, very well designed, build solidly, and has made my life easier."
"This is a great napkin holder."

Best Dish Drying Mats

OXO Good Grips Large Silicone Drying Mat
Efficiently dry large and delicate items with the OXO Good Grips Large Silicone Drying Mat. Sized to fit large items such as 12-inch frying pans, platters, salad bowls and more. Soft, non-slip surface protects delicate items like stemware and is sized to fit large items such as 12 frying pans, platters, salad bowls and more.
Reviews
"My only concerns with the Oxo mat are: * You do need to regularly wipe underneath the mat and the mat's underside. I use this mat: * Everyday for non-dishwasher pots/pans, knives, crystal stemware, & glasses. * To place hot cast iron lids on while cooking. * To place very warm pots from stove. I use this mat BECAUSE: * It takes less room & commitment than a permanent dish rack. * Dries dishes, especially glasses, better than microfiber mats. * It is easy to clean. * It doubles as a trivet."
"Over the years, I've tried various things to isolate the pump from the box, and quiet the pump."
"I got this mat because it seemed as if it might be an ideal place to put those items that I need to wash and reuse again in a short time."
"It is such a great soft mat that I roll it lengthwise and put it in my drawer alongside the foil and wax paper boxes when it is not in use."
"Also, I feel like the ridges are not high enough, if I leave my wood cutting board or a knife on it, the next morning a part of it is still wet where it's touching the bottom of the mat."
"It builds up mold very very quickly and takes more time to clean the mat than cleaning the dishes."
"I had to rinse off everyday to try to get water (white spots) off and they it takes for ever to dry."
"I was looking to replace my drying mat that I purchased from Costco."

Best Cookbook Stands & Recipe Holders

Deluxe Large Cookbook Holder - Acrylic Shield With Cherry Wood Base - Made in the USA
Back in 1979 our local bookstore asked us to make acrylic shelves for displaying their greeting cards. Demand in the marketplace for our acrylic displays was so profound that it redefined our focus and helped make us one of the most respected names in the industry. What began in a chicken coop in Maryland, grew to a Vermont barn, and a very charming old Vermont mill, is now in a modern manufacturing facility in Hinsdale, New Hampshire. The business may have grown, but our focus on you hasnÕt changed. The extra large size is perfect for larger books.^Base -- 15-3/4" L x 6" W x 1-1/2" H; Acrylic -- 15-3/4" L x 12" W^Cherry base with acrylic shield - Adjusts to any book - Folds flat for storage.^Made in America by Clear Solutions Household.
Reviews
"*Collapses for storage. *Acrylic shield easy to clean and protects the book. Cons: *It has a very strong odor (I've had for about a week and it is still there. That is the only thing I don't love, and for this price I would expect a polished/ sanded furniture grade product."
"Now he can easily see recipes and when splatter happens, it's easy to clean up from the clear plastic shield without making a mess of the cookbook page."
"This is excellent quality and wonderful to use...the front protector moves out of the way easily so you can turn pages...I have a very large cook book that is one of my favorites now and it fits perfectly."
"It's kind of a large thing."
"I had first purchased the smaller "Deluxe" version of this holder (same brand) and returned it, as even a small/narrow cookbook would push against the hinged acrylic cover and cause book and acrylic front to fall forward; it wouldn't hold the book open."
"The only con I have is that the hardcovers - binding area - are a little damaged because the edge of the plastic where the book rests is sharp."
"I checked out other cookbook holders before choosing this one and what won me over is its stylish good looks and its ability to adjust sizes to accommodate oversized cookbooks as well as her iPad."
"The loose sheet of plexi in the back is a little goofy to use and store, but the overall result is just fine and I love that I can put it away tidily when not in use since it folds."
