This review is from: Paula Deen Traditional Porcelain 10-Piece Set, Purple (Kitchen)
I would just like to say I am in love with these pots and pans! Not only do they come in my favorite color purple. But they are very great quality. I really love to cook and try new recipes. Before with my other pots and pans it seemed like it never quite came out how I wanted it too. But with Paula Deen's set they come out alot better. And clean is a breeze. Before I use to dread cleaning my pots and pans, it seemed like it took hours to clean because I would have to soak them for a bit and then clean them. But with Paula Deen's pots and pans, clean up is no hassle at all. I use a paper towel to get any grease or extra food that may be on it and it comes very clean. Then I wash them with no problem at all. I would really recommend this product to anyone.

This review is from: Panasonic Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner, Green, MC-UL815 (Kitchen)

I spent about 3 weeks reading upright vacuum reviews - ended up buying one that did not have a single review. We had a problem to begin with - they sent me the 810 model 2 times before I received the one I ordered. I was looking for something lightweight, smaller cleaning path, and the ability to shut off the roller brush for bare floor and above carpet cleaning.

I've only used it two times and the jet turn takes a little getting use to. It has tremendous suction. It picked up a lot dirt that my old oreck passed over.
I like the red and green light - seems to work fine. The only thing missing is a wand to allow you to get the occassional spider webb on the ceiling. Noise wise it isn't too bad, it's quieter than my oreck.

I had a little problem figuring out how to get to the hepa filter and belt. It looks like they would be pretty easy to replace when the need arises. Emptying the dirt container is relatively easy. Overall I like the vacuum and for $141 I would recommend it. P.S. the shipping mistakes were not that of Amazon it was another vendor selling thru Amazon.

Dmt 6-In Diamond Whetstone W/ Storage Box

Posted on November 28, 2011

DMT W6FP 6-Inch Diamond Whetstone Sharpener - Fine With Plastic Box (Tools & Home Improvement) I sharpen my kitchen cutleries by hand using this DMT diamond stone and a Japanese combination water stone: Woodstock D1130 1000 Grit and 6000 Grit Japanese Waterstone. Despite this is called a "fine" grit stone, it is plenty aggressive for a typical kitchen knife. My friend has a chef's knife which had a broken tip (~1/4") and a chipped edge, and I was able to restore the tip and the edge by using this "fine" stone. The DMT diamond stones need a small amount of water during sharpening. It is to help prevent metal fines from sticking to the sharpening surface. In my opinion, water lubricant stones are superior to oil assisted stones for two reasons. First, it is easy to apply water and to clean up afterward. Second, water is less slippy than oil and therefore it is safer to sharpen a knife with wet hands than oiled hands. DMT makes interrupted surface and continuous surface diamond stones. This belongs to the former. For most applications, the interrupted surface is slightly superior because it allows metal fines to fall into the slightly recessed area and remains out of the sharpening surface. This allows greater sharpening performance by reducing the frequency of washing and removing the metal fines from the surface. However, if your tools have very small blades, then they will get caught in the recessed area. You will need a continuous surface diamond stone for these small blade tools. I have upload a closeup customer picture of the diamond stone. The stone is 6" X 2", adequate for most kitchen knives, though a wider one would be nicer. The receded red dot areas are 1/8" in diameter. In my experience, your blade needs to be at least 1" in length to comfortably take advantage of the interrupted surface.

I bought this DMT fine diamond stone for $35. I find this diamond stone to be very versatile. It cut fast and uniform, and yet gives you full control. The DMT grinding surface is extremely flat, so I also use it to flatten my Japanese water stones. If you have never used a diamond stone, then you will be surprised how fast this stone can cut/grind. I certainly was. I have an aluminum oxide oil stone and I have to push my knives downward at the stone to sharpen them. Whereas I simply slide my knives back and forth on this diamond stone. This saves time, energy and improve sharpening results. Frankly, it is probably safer too. Because the diamond stones cut faster than other stones, I like to suggest new users to check on their progress a bit more often.

Despite this DMT stone is advertised as fine grit, the grit size is 600 (25 microns) which is too coarse to be a finishing stone for knives. Knife edges ground by this diamond stone should be polished on finer stones.

Assuming you are into sharpening your knives or tools, I highly recommend this or one of the other diamond stones. You won't regret getting a DMT diamond stone.

Yesterday, I noticed my Shun bread knife has two very tiny but visible chips, not quiet sure where they come about. I put it on this diamond stone and it managed to grind out the chipped area. I then finished it on my 1000 and 6000 grit water stones. This DMT diamond stone is not only able to restore my friend's damaged budget knife, but it also worked for a VG-10 core Shun knife.

*Update on Mar 02, 2010*
I bought the DMT W6XP 6" Diamond Whetstone Sharpener - Extra-Coarse With Plastic Box for knife reprofiling. The extra coarse stone makes reprofiling an knife edge/bevel very easy. However, for regular knife maintaince, this fine DMT stone is probably more suitable.

*Update on Jun 08, 2010*
I have retired my Woodstock Japanese waterstone for a couple of months because it is essentially worn out. I have since bought Naniwa Super waterstones for replacement. Nevertheless, I am still using the DMT diamond stone and it is part of my setup. It seems to be running strong.

No More Guesswork, Lost or Missing Sockets
Keeping track of individual sockets from a socket set can be a chore, as sockets often go missing or get dropped and misplaced.

Thankfully, the ReadyWrench puts an end to lost sockets and ensures you'll never need to search through a socket set again.

One Incredible Wrench; 16 Most Popular Sizes
The ReadyWrench, with its multiple socket options and short-pin design, is a versatile and flexible tool--and a great value over purchasing a socket set. The sockets are cast to fit both standard (SAE) and metric bolts, and they have a special six-point socket design that won't damage bolt heads.

Best of all, the ReadyWrench offers 16 socket options--5/16 inch, 3/8 inch, 7/16 inch, 1/2 inch, 9/16 inch, 5/8 inch, 11/16 inch, 3/4 inch, 8mm, 10mm, 11mm, 13mm, 14mm, 16mm, 17mm, and 19mm--all the standard and metric sizes you need to handle most any project. Additionally, there are color-coded laser markings on the side of each socket for easy reference (metric = blue; standard = red).

User-Friendly Tool Designed to Last a Lifetime
The ReadyWrench is so easy to use, you won't know how you ever lived without it. To start, socket sizes are etched and baked in color into each socket for easy visibility--not imprinted like standard sockets. For added convenience, a helpful size chart (in both inches and millimeters) on the back of the handle lets you know exactly what size you need for a specific job.

Additionally, the ReadyWrench boasts a durable rubber grip that provides exceptional comfort for high-torque applications and extends the life of the tool. Built to last, the ReadyWrench is made of durable vanadium steel with a nickel chrome finish.

The MSW100 ReadyWrench is backed by a lifetime warranty.
