 "An Apple Toy...on no no a computer...." 2010-06-12
By Lincoln County MT (Extreme NW Montana)
Ok it's a toy for making carmaled apples. Or you can also use to melt carmels yours or commercial bought ones with wrappers removed...also you can find blocks of carmel also but anyway you melt the carmels in the microwave couldn't be more simple and you can use it as a dipper for pieces of dunk the whole apple into the carmel and then let set up on wax paper and stick with a stick and enjoy like an oldfashion carmel apple. I wish it was smaller but for plastic seems sturdy enough and looks like it should hold up over time. I have their popcorn popper for microwave too. Not so happy with it but is that my microwave or the popper or the combination of the two. Some peoples microwaves work geat with the popper others like mine not so hot.

 "Great teacher gift!!" 2010-05-20
By Jason Bourne (South Jordan, UT United States)
I have to confess... I haven't actually used this, but I did want to write a review that answers a couple of the questions I had prior to purchasing. I was looking for a couple of fun, end-of-year teacher gifts, and wanted to stick with the 'apple for the teacher' theme. Came across this apple dipper and thought it would be perfect... though I had a couple of questions that are not answered in the description, I opted to order a couple and I'm so glad I did!!

First, the 'set' does come in a box... a nice box that says exactly what the product is, describes what it can be used for (along with foods other than apples), and has pictures on the different sides of the box showing the basic instructions, along with some yummy-looking 'finished' candy apples. I had been a little nervous that the apple dipper might arrive in some type of baggie (not really an ideal way to present a gift), and no real description of what it actually is (would be a little hard to figure out without some type of description). So again, I was really pleased with the packaging... it is just as I'd hoped. Along with the description, photos and simple instructions on the outside of the box, there is a small booklet inside that has care instructions and tips, directions for caramel-dipped apples, chocolate double-dipped apples, gourmet apple toppings.... along with various suggestions and tips for toppings, etc. It is a very basic 'user's guide' booklet... but something I'm glad is included. Assuming the apple dipper functions as stated, I think it is a great gift idea at a very reasonable price point, and I've already ordered two more for next year's teacher gifts!

 "So much fun" 2009-10-18
By P. Hartman (Ohio)
I received on of these as a gag gift because I like caramel apples so much. It is one of my kitchen favorites. It is very easy to make caramel apples and I have used it for other things, too. As a gag I dipped Triscuits in dark chocolate for my sister's boyfriend. He loved them so much I had to dip 200 of them for their wedding reception. By using the microwave there is hardly any mess and the fork that comes with it is worth it's weight in gold. I hunted for these for months and when I found them I bought 4 so I could give them as gifts. Not as gag gifts anymore. When my friends ask me where I got it, I know what they will be getting for their birthday.

By P. Susi (East Coast, USA)
You can't beeat the usefullness of these style funnels in the kitchen. Even if you don't can, they're great for any number of tasks.



I use mine for pouring sauce back into the jar for fridge storage, inverted to hold up a strainer in the sink, pouring dry goods into storage onctainers, filling baby bottles, etc.



For this price, get one to keep on hand, andd you'll be surprised at how useful it is.

By vobsister
These things are excellent. My father gave me two of them once upon a time--one for the lid of the jar, and one for the jar itself at the same time, just in case, and I have since bought two more, so I can have them at home and also at work. I'm also planning to give several of these to friends for Christmas this year.

 "Fantastic product for folks with weaker grips." 2009-05-24
By appletree83 (Flagstaff, AZ USA)
Over the years, I've developed a bit of carpal tunnel syndrome which flares up now & then, so I have to be careful not to overly strain my wrists when opening a tight jar or bottle lid.



This Jar Lid Wrench by Back to Basics is a life-saver! I use it for for opening vacuum-packed lids, lids that my hubby has screwed on too tightly, and even for the caps on soda pop bottles.



The two sizes on the lid wrench fit everything, and I've even used the long handle area to open the tiniest bottles, like a pill bottle.



I love this product so much that I now own TWO of them, and am going to order one for my daughter's hope chest. (Does anyone even remember what a 'hope chest' is? *smile*)

 "Just wish I could pop more!" 2010-02-12
By E. Diaz (Chicago, IL United States)
I bought this because I wanted to pop popcorn quickly (in the microwave) but I don't trust the chemically, genetically modified corn products used with the pre=made microwavable bags. I have used this popper 3 times now. It pops perfectly. I use 1/3 cup of popcorn + 1 tsp of peanut oil. It set the microwave for 2:45 and it's perfect. I have a family of three, so when we sit down to watch a movie, I have to pop two batches to have enough for us all, but that's my only complaint. It's not even a complaint. It's just my laziness. Also, beware that the bowl is HOT! I transfer contents to a big bowl. Enjoy!!!

 "We enjoy this popper!!" 2010-02-08
By D. Humphries (Guthrie, OK, USA)
I was in the store looking for christmas presents,and found these poppers, I took the last two, not knowing anything about these kind of poppers at all. My husband got one of these, he actually said after we used this popper half a dozen times, that this is one of the best presents he has ever gotten!!

He gets it to work a little better than me, the kernels pop light and fluffy, very few 'old maids', if any.

The bowl does get very hot, but I say, that is why we have pot holders.

And there was a review that stated not dishwasher safe, we put it in the top of the dishwasher and that works great. (if the top comes out crooked, take it out of the dishwasher while still warm, putting it on the bowl will usually straighten it out.)

Another stated that they had to wait to make another batch, I have made three batches (yes the third didn't work as great as the first batch, but putting your popcorn in another bowl while eating, will give time for the popper to cool down, that usually helps for me.)

Yet another review mentioned something about the bowl to hot to eat the popcorn out of, I always put my popcorn in another bowl, one reason it helps mixing up any seasonings being used and the bowl isn't too hot to use, and it helps the bowl to cool down faster to be used again.

There was another review I read mentioning the use of a pyrex bowl,with the lid put on so that steam can escape, I haven't used it yet, but I am going to try that, sounds like a great idea.

But overall, with a decent microwave and listening for the popping to stop, (to get used to the timing), I haven't had a bad bowl of popcorn yet, except when I messed it up :)

 "Gets the Job Done" 2010-02-06
By Rick E. (NYC)
Gets the job done very well and a great cost-saver and low-fat option when compared to using packaged microwave popcorn. And there isn't a special insert as is required for some other poppers. The one draw back is that the bowl gets very hot. It cannot be used immediately as a serving bowl and I usually just dump the contents into another bowl. If the bowl stayed cool, I'd rate this simple solution at 5 stars.

 "Not as impressed after I purchased" 2010-02-03
By J. Zabolotney
It does a descent job but has trouble popping even 1/4 cup of kernels. A fair amount never pop and just end up burned, about 10 times as many old maids as my hot air popper. It also keeps overpowering my microwave and it shuts off so I have to wait for it to come back on after two batches.
