 "Pie Bird" 2010-02-08
By doug29 (Maryland)
I ordered and received the pie bird quickly. I don't know if it works as I have never used it. If you use it, you will have to pull it out of the pie which damages the crust.

Other than that is came ahead of time and appears to be as advertised.

 "The Perfect Pie Bird" 2009-12-03
By Prospero (Southwest USA)
Not sure how much there is to say about a pie bird. If they work they are great, if they don't work they are worthless. This pie bird works! What kicks me up to 5 stars is the traditional "black bird" style (call me old school).



Of course, there are other birds out there that will certainly vent a crust, and I'm sure they are just as good. What I would avoid myself, is one that is attached to the pie dish. They are simply harder to clean and limit what you can use to make a pie with.



Happy Pie Making!

 "Keeps to cook bottom crusts" 2009-10-15
By Laurie B. Wagner (Arlington Heights, IL United States)
My mother always used a pie bird in her 2 crust fruit pies. I never really understood then, just thought it was cute. But, after seeing a cook on TV use one and gave the reason why, I tried it. And, oh my goodness did it ever work! If you use it right, you'll have a cooked, crisp bottom crust even with a 2 crust fruit pie. Promise. You just have to make sure you place the pie bird on top of the bottom crust BEFORE you place your filling. Pour the filling around the pie bird, and after rolling out your top crust, place a small "X" in the middle of the top crust and top your filling (so the "X" goes over the pie bird). Seal the edges and make a couple additional small vents with a knife and bake. Also, use a good glass pie pan!

 "Works!" 2009-02-05
By Ann Warner (Boonville, MO USA)
Well, as usual Alton Brown talked me into needing something I didn't know I needed.... Well it works great, and makes such an interesting conversation starter at potluck diners.



You can buy a much less expensive white version in the Amish stores, but a blackbird is such a poetic thing to remember one's childhood nursery rhymes and have fun with the grandkids with besides.



I cut the crust with a small bisquit cutter and it fits right over the bird. Venting is as promised and I don't get boil over unless I totally overfill my pie, which I tend to do. This has really minimized the mess, even then.

I used these bowls for Easter to hold little snacks. They are pastel and remind us that summer is coming. So, they worked out very well for that and at a reasonable cost.

 "Smells Bad and Food Taste Bad!!!!!" 2010-02-03
By Brooke J. Franklin (ks)
We used this in our office and after about 6 months we noticed the microwave made a high pitch squeal and when you would open the door it kind of smelled like it was burning up-like melted plastic. It still works but now our food is starting to be tastless, except for a metalic and plastic taste. Cant be healthy! We are throwing it in the trash and getting a new GE! By the way this was bought in store not online.

 "One month is all it was worth." 2010-01-27
By Sean B. Daughtry (Virginia)
We received this Microwave as a gift for Christmas to replace the 11 year old one that worked fine but was outdated. This CuisinArt microwave looked very nice and worked just fine out of the box for exactly one month. Now everytime you close the door, it turns on by itself and stays on. It just goes and goes and you can't press any buttons to stop it. The only way to stop it is to unplug the darn thing. Now we don't have a microwave because last week, I gave the old one to a good cause. This just happened so I can't comment on how the return of this product will be, but I would certainly steer clear of buying this junk and I would also recommend you NOT buying any small appliance over the internet. There are some purchases that are great to buy online but small appliances isn't one of them. Save your money and frozen food and DO NOT BUY the CuisinArt CMW-100 Microwave! It has a mind of its' own and is quite dangerous.

 "I love This Microwave" 2010-01-08
By W. Thomas
This is a great microwave. It is so sleek looking, both inside and out. I have used it everyday. I admit, I have to keep the instruction booklet on my cabinet by it, as I am using it to actually cook my meals. I don't use it just to reheat food. I would recommend this microwave to everyone.

 "Best looking by far" 2009-12-23
By Lucky Girl (In a good place!)
Excellent product for the price. If you are short on space, this unit looks smart inside and out. The outside side panels are NOT stainless - they are gray, so if you're trying to keep a clean look that matches fridge/stove/etc, a cubby or nook to place it in would be best. I've actually had people exclaim out loud when the open it... the inside is gorgeous.

This is my third Cuisinart product. My experience with customer service has been great, especially the man who ran the warehouse that my coffee maker parts came from. Send in your warranty card: if anything goes wrong you have a better chance of smooth dealings.

 "::cannot clean the spatter off of a spatter prone gadget:: Look elsewhere" 2009-12-16
By Neema Kharva (Seattle, WA USA)
UPDATE: no joy of clean :( - Updating review to 1 star



The bad, no the real REAL bad



- You CANNOT sanitize this puppy completely.

here is why: anyone who has used a microwave has experienced a splatter here and there. I am no exception either. Up until now, I would grudgingly ignore the door after making sure the rest of it was sparkling. Last night I re-heated some ravioli in marinara sauce and forgot to cover it. So I got a huge tomato splatter in the interior and yes I earned it. Fair enough.



I just called Cuisinart this morning and they told me, the door is not designed to be cleaned!!!! Hello?!!! NOT DESIGNED TO BE CLEANED? Ever heard something so illogical? If you are rolling your eyes at that, listen to this. The lady then went on to advise me that I should use a paper towel to cover the door every time I microwave.



I will post pictures another time, but please save your money and don't buy one of these until the engineers at Cuisinart rectify this obvious design flaw.(after ALL the gadgets they manufacture - they did not foresee this? do they test these things before they put out to the public)



Funny, even though the joke is on me.







The good:



- Good looking - and in my kitchen, and I am sure in yours :) - that is a must

- Compact, does not occupy too much counter space (if you put it there, that is). I put mine on a wine stand that is about a foot wide.

- handy in a crunch - is stainless steel friendly and therefore great for reheating food without having to transfer it to 'microwave' safe containers first. I cannot live without this feature - spoilt - I know

- great price point

- I am sorry to disagree with other users who found this junk - I have owned one for two years, and have never had a problem with it. (who know, my almost negative review might be my undoing)

- mostly easy to clean - cleaning the door is a whole other ball game



*** The three stars were because the product lasted me flawlessly for so long. It still works.

 "The Best Convection/Microwave Ever Made" 2010-03-18
By Atlanta DVD Lover (Atlanta, GA)
I plugged in the unit as soon as it arrived and set it up, which took no time at all. Yes, the way you press buttons and set the time and temperature is different from what you are used to, but trust me, it's a transition you will make without any trouble. I like the fact that the convection baking temperature stays displayed during the entire time you are cooking something with the convection feature. You will begin to love turning the dial for the cooking time rather than pressing individual buttons. This way if you make a mistake with the time, you can turn the dial forward or backwards instead of having to press clear and start all over re-entering the cooking time. The unit is programmed with intelligence which will make lighted rings blink around the dials to let you know which dial must be turned to achieve cooking. And talk about quiet. My Sharp Carousel was rather loud when I used the convection feature. The fan sounded almost as loud as a vent over a stove. Not so with this oven. I almost thought it wasn't working. It works well it's just much quieter. The only regret you will have with this oven is not owning one sooner. BUY IT NOW!

 "Great microwave for the first 9 months" 2010-01-22
By F. A. List (Oak Ridge, TN)
The oven was purchased in Jan. 2008 and worked fine for the first nine months. Then the heating power began to stop when the oven was used continuously for more than about ten minutes. This problem gradually became more frequent and severe, so the oven was taken to a shop for repair before the 1-year warranty expired.



First, the magnetron tube was replaced, the oven was returned, and the problem remained. Next, the control board and the magnetron tube (again) were replaced. The oven worked for about one month, and then the problem returned with a vengeance. The oven could not heat a cup of water without the heating power stopping.



At this point, the repair shop contacted the Panasonic distributor and requested that the oven be declared a "lemon" and replaced with a new oven. The distributor denied the request, and so the repair shop replaced the inverter board, the control board, and the magnetron tube (again!). The shop had to back-date the repair several weeks to fall within the 1-year warranty.



After three magnetron tubes, two control boards, and one inverter board, the oven worked flawlessly from Feb. 2009 to Jan. 2010. Then again the problem returned. The oven is now going to the landfill. I don't have the time to nurse a faulty design. I guess "Made in Japan" doesn't always mean made right.

 "Why $540.00 and even more at else where?" 2010-01-05
By just me
I'm going to tell you why it is the most expensive but not too much on detail how it works, I haven't had a chance to use it for a long length of time to make a honest comment. However, with the inverter tech and and the quality of this product I'll expect it to outperform all others.



Why so expensive? It's made in JAPAN. "MADE IN JAPAN" stamped on the box and inside the door panel of the Microwave oven. I'm sure if it was made in China, Malaysia or Korea then it would be more likely in the $375 range. I have to say, It is very rare these days to get something to be made right and that is in the USA/Germany/Japan and most time even your money you want to spend can't get the Manufacture to do it because of business cost and margin. Everything is from cheap China resulting manufactures with greater margins. We all have to settle for a sort of lesser standard. Now isn't that true? Don't get me wrong. I am not rich, I make just enough to get by, $32,000 a year.



I went to Sears to see the Kenmore and I saw a GE there too. I Previously seen a Sharp and but never seen a Panasonic in person but only had read and saw pictures about it on the web, (I'm talking about con-mic-ovens.) The model I saw in person (all except the panasonic) were made in China, Korea and maybe Malaysia. Now that my panasonic con/mic-oven arrived, I can now see it is the best of quality of them all as far as workmanship and material used.



I had a chance to see the panasonic microwave oven (not convection micro) at sam's club, it was the most fancy model from panasonic, stainless steel with the knob and blue lights. And that was made in China as I eagerly look for where it's made. It was price for about $197 for giant 2.2 cu microwave stainless steel microwave. Well Made in china, so that is why so cheap, under $200. Since that fine microwave is made in China I thought this con-mic-oven must come from China too. I was surprised to find out it made in Japan.



So that is why it cost over $500 and the other brands cost about $350-$425.



Don't get me wrong again, I like china stuff too but not all of china stuff. For example, I like Apple Macintosh Computers and all of that is from China, not made in Cupertino , CA anymore. I like China made firecrackers and rockets and had some to play with this New Years day, they were the best and no duds. And I like Chinese food too and I have to say it is most of the time it's cheaper than other cuisine and tastier too.



any way thanks for reading. Just spend the money and buy it. I know you're reading because you're thinking about buying it.

 "broke after two years...." 2009-11-30
By Agrineer (Gainesville, FL USA)
This is a top-of-the-line microwave and It has served us well for over two years of normal family use, both for microwave as well as for convection oven cooking. Yesterday it greeted us in the morning with a distinct electronics-burnt smell when warming up milk... Our previous microwave /convection oven combination lasted for almost 10 years... Most disappointing from an expensive and supposedly reliable product like this... We are now looking into fixing it but keep this in mind when shedding big bucks for this item...

 "Buyer Beware" 2009-09-19
By Michael J. Russo (Bayville)
Bought this unit Feb.20,2008, worked great until April 19,2009. Amplifier died cost me $150.

May 29,2009 Smoke and sparks everywhere. Called Panasonic. "Send us the unit we want to look at it." once they had it I couldn't get it back. "We'll replace it!" but not with the same unit I sent them but a lesser one. Now I'm out $750 and I have an unopened box I do not want and can't get hold of Silivia Ramirez in Coustomer Claims Dept. they don't return my calls.

Bait and switch Con Game. Magnatron has Multiyear warranty they are not honoring.

 "you still feel the heat" 2010-03-07
By RiceMom (South.Calif.)
I was so excited about these mitts, but upon their first use, it was evident that the heat transfers through to your hands from the time it takes to carry a cookie sheet from the oven to a counter about 10 feet away. I'm not saying you'll get burned, but you'll be uncomfortably hot! I'd expected this innovative material to be better than thick cotton padding with a teflon liner, but it's not.

 "As good as old style oven mittens" 2009-06-08
By B.McG (Mesa, AZ)
I was hesitant to buy this because the heat rating was lower than the more expensive mits. They work just fine for baking and they cleanup much better than cloth mits. My wife bakes often and they are in as good shape as they were a year ago. No regrets here.

 "oven mits" 2009-01-10
By Christa A. Allison (GR, MI, USA)
The oven mits work great to temperature, however they are a little slippery when handling smooth things like cookie sheets, you need to use 2 hands.

 "Ouch, my burning hands!" 2008-06-22
By stellabella
I would avoid these mitts. They really don't protect your hands for very long. I have almost dropped several hot dishes before I could get them from the oven to a safe place on the counter because the heat just came through. In fact, the mitts themselves get hot enough that it's painful after you put the hot pot down! While the magnet is somewhat handy, I find myself wishing I hadn't thrown away my old cloth oven mitts.
