"I have MS, so heat is a big problem and issue for me, so I needed a really good oven mitt. It didn't even burn the mitt, thank goodness, because I am sure that will not be the first time I will do that. I decided to take a big risk and I stuck the mitt on and stuck my hand in the boiling water in the hot bath and pulled the jars, I never felt the heat or a drop of water, now, I DO NOT recommend sticking your hand in boiling water, but I was home alone and was desperate, if they had not of held up things could have went horribly different, but they did work, thank goodness for that."
"OK, this is weird, but my intentions for these silicone oven mitts is to use them in wet snow for "like stacking firewood."
"I was skeptical that they would be as good as advertised, but I first used them to move a thick cast iron skillet (2-burner) that had been on high gas heat for ten minuted in to the stove."
"i actually feel safer using these oven mitts because they cover the wrists/forearms."
"These mitts work pretty well most of the time."
"Best oven mitts!"
"They would always crack and would eventually not protect from heat and inevitably lead to horrible burns or dropped pans."

"Great apron for light use."
"If you're buying this then you're obviously not looking for something to wear in a 5 star kitchen, and you probably already know that novelty items like this are usually of a lesser quality for the sake of licensing costs, etc... Basically... this is EXACTLY what I expected."
"This apron is a fun, novelty item."
"Bought this as a gift for my daughter (she wore it to take her children trick or treating)."
"And on top of the poor quality we ordered Batman and received Star Wars character instead the sticker on one side of the package said “Batman” and on the other side said Darth Vader."
"The body on the front is too small because the aprox is too small so it looks bad."
"I bought this for my Aunt, it came on time in great condition, the picture is perfect and so isn’t the size-she’s about 5’11 and very thin."

"Bought two of the 3 pocket waist aprons and used them yesterday for a garage sale with a friend."
"Price, product and delivery are all top notch. We currently use the 2-pocket aprons (one big and one small) that hit about mid-thigh."
"After reading the information I realized they were normal cotton material. The strings were very long, I was able to wrap them around me and tie in the front, I am a tiny girl, so this would be great for ANY SIZE person."
"I bought these after getting tired if wearing old, worn out ones all the time."
"Well made apron with three good pocket space."
"Unfortunately, it isn't in the food and service industry, one is used as pockets to hold misc remote controls for televisions and other media devices and the other is used on me to hold misc pencils, gauges, etc in my workshop."
"I did add some appliques to the apron to make it more school friendly since it was only available in black."

The business may have grown, but our focus on you hasnÕt changed.

"*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."

Find Best Price at Amazon"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."
"I needed a replacement to put under my dish drying mat, and then I discovered that it is useful for hot pans when I run out of trivets. I hand wash my wine glass s, several pieces of china and some pots and pans."
"After reading reviews - yes, for a drying mat, I chose this one. It seemed to make the most sense."
"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."
"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."
"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."

"These are stated as 4 mil, but they feel heavier and are VERY tear resistant - not just compared to other 4 mil gloves but also some I have that are supposedly thicker."
"The investment in this is much better than investing in pumice soap and spending a ridiculous amount of time scrubbing dirt or oil out of your skin with the residual smell that you have to deal with for hours or days afterwards not to mention the dryness caused by coming into contact with bad chemicals."
"I am a clean person."
"What I like best about these gloves is their color - so much better than plain white."
"For the price of these, they're great gloves to use when working on your car."
"This is not the first one I've ordered these for this purpose and thatsbe ause I have found that these are thicker and more durable than other run of the mill disposable gloves."

Best Napkin Holders
Precisely weighted tension arm to remove one napkin at a time.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"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 Refrigerator Magnets
Pay Attention. These magnets are not strong magnets because the exposed portion of these magnets all have a north polarity, which allows the magnets to adhere strongly to metal but have a weak connection to each other (flux between magnets is less than 50 kG2mm2). Tiergrade whiteboard magnets also great for kids creativity to learn colors and counting. Office magnets can help you post signs, hang artwork, and organize planning materials and contact information. These small strong magnets are must have item for teacher, they work great for displaying student work and hanging posters in classroom without blocking any information on the page. Great powerful colored magnets for moms, teachers, and office workers anyone who needs to stay organized! These push pin magnets are tiny too so they won't cover up exact things you want to display.

But we’re betting you’ll fall in love with these fridge magnets, and a team of wild horses couldn’t get them out of your hands and make you send them back.

"I've always found fridge magnets to be more of a nuisance than a help but these are honestly some of the best fridge magnets I have ever had."
"These magnets are just what I was looking for."
"This magnetic nails really good use, it's very strong magnetic force, it can easily be sucked in the refrigerator door, its size is small, not easy to block the note on the paper, It is convenient for me, Because my memory is bad, so I often write down important things to use it on the refrigerator door, and it help to remember what things i have to do, it is a good helper in my life, I want to recommend it to everyone."
"the purpose was to put drawings and papers on the magnetic board, but now it becomes toys for my son to link them together in different pattern."
"I don't know why, but I sure seem to need a lot of magnets."
"The magnets are very strong for such a small size, don't break or bend like the push pins, and movable so i can place them anywhere on a document to hold it up without tearing it or putting holes in it."

"I am very glad that I got this product because before I didn't know where to put my lids and the fact that it comes with a spoon rest is perfect because there is now no need to go out and buy yet another item for my kitchen."
"I notice that the little toggle screws that hold the stand on from underneath become loose fairly easily and I have to tighten them. The alternative would be to have the stand soldered onto the tray."
"I cover the spoon part with tin foil so all I have to do is remove the foil and it's good to go."
"This is a very handy kitchen item...I never knew where to put my hot lids while stirring, etc."

I didn't even realize they made these til I saw them advertised on Amazon.Since I use straws all the time to drink most anything with, I thought this would be great and save money in the long run."
"Really nice straws."
"I got a nice blender as a gift and am making frappes and smoothies like crazy!"
"Most of the ones I found were extra large, for 20 or 30 ounce tumblers, but I wanted regular old straw size like the disposables you’d buy at the store."
"The best thing about them is I can reuse them over and over again so no more plastic straws and the wasted money buying them and no more polluting with those plastic straws."

"They are very flexible and the little nubs are great for gripping pans, and they work wonderfully to block heat from hands and counters."
"Perfect thickness!"
"I'd like to see these guys produce a coaster set with a similar design concepts, but fancied up a bit."
"I bought a smooth-top stove a few months ago and noticed that sitting a hot pot on the top of the range sometimes caused slight scratches."
"I love the color, the design is just right, however, no matter how many times you tell a person what size an item is, a large picture, with no size comparison shown next to it, will not keep the visual person from thinking that the item that they see is as small as it is stated to be."
"These are amazing thick flexible silicone (like a rubbery plastic) hot pink (other bright colors available too) potholders that are smooth on one side and very bumpy on the other. They actually can be used for many purposes like: a potholder (smooth side) to protect your hands from high heat when reaching into a hot oven and grasping baking dishes and pans; a trivet (bumpy side down) to set hot pots and pans on to protect your counter or your lap if hot dishes are put on your lap tray; a tight lid opener for jars and bottles, a spoon rest when cooking at your stove, a coaster for wet liquor bottles or cold drink pitchers; etc."
"This mat is a little too thick for me to handle a hot baking dish and feel fully in control...not dangeriously so..I sure I will get the hang of it with use."
