"My sister-in-law gave me some of these last year. I had never seen them before and put them in a drawer. A week or two later, I couldn't remove a bowl of hot soup from the microwave because the bowl was too hot to touch. The "light bulb" went off and now we use these when heating soup, chili and other things in the m'wave. They're also nice to use with bowls of ice cream.

I've been gifting them ever since." -Amazon Shopper

Promising Review:

"I like to cook, but nearly every time I try a new recipe or prepare something I haven't made in a while, I find myself hunting for spices. Do I have this one? Where did I see that one? Above the stove? In the pantry? My grandmother also lives with us and is not immune to moving spices in order to help out, only to forget where she stashes them. Sometimes we end up with multiples, because the one we needed was playing hide-and-go-seek until the new one arrived. So, at least a few times a week I comment I can't stand cooking when I can't find what I need. I have no wall space for the racks that were ubiquitous in kitchens when I was growing up, and until recently I didn't have space for one that sat on the counter either. However, when stacked bottles of spice are falling you don't have space to not come up with a better plan. So, I bought an island and I went in search of spice racks. I saw these and it was a match made in heaven. " -Michelle

Promising Review:

"I got this looking for a slicer that would be faster than just using a knife. I've used it to slice and dice and for me it is faster and safer. Other slicers I've used have frustrated me as the pusher that is supposed to hold the food as you slice it doesn't do the job well, and if I don't use it I end up cutting the last bit by hand as using the slicer doesn't feel safe. With the chute my hands are away from the blades and the pusher has no problem feeding the food to the slicer. Once I am finished slicing I rinse the food off so it doesn't stick. As it doesn't come apart stuck food would be a challenge to clean off this slicer." -Ambrose

"I put this to the test immediately upon opening it. I first reheated some leftover pizza and that came out perfect and crunchy (4 min on 400 degrees). The next morning I made some toast (2 min on 400 degrees) , again - perfect and evenly toasted on both sides without needing to turn over the bread midway. It had much more flavor than when using a toaster or my toaster oven, not sure how but it does. That evening I made some burgers (7 min 400 degrees + 3 min on broil for that last sizzle kick) which were delicious and full of flavor."- Jeremy

Promising Review:

"This is a neat little gadget. It would make a great stocking stuffer for anyone who cooks. It feels solid in your hand and when you do put it in the dishwasher, you don't have to worry about it tipping sideways and then holding the gross dishwasher water (I hate that!). The only reason I gave it four stars is because it might a bit too large to scoop certain ingredients out of their cannisters, e.g., you need a separate spoon or scoop to get baking soda out of its yellow box into this cup, or if you were trying to get sugar right out of the bag. So, it definitely works best with liquids and other things you can pour, like salt or using the pour feature on your spices. I also think kids would like it -- it's fun." - R Duffy

"I love these bottles! I can confidently say that I am very pleased with them. They look great, especially with the clean labels provided.

I will definitely be buying more bottles from them soon!" -Sky
