Griffin Reflect Chrome Mirrored Case for iPod nano 2G

Griffin Reflect Chrome Mirrored Case for iPod nano 2G
Reflect cases are durable polycarbonate shells that present a seamless, mirrored-chrome reflective face to the world until you wake up your player and the bright, clear screen shows through the chrome. The matte black rubberized case back visually complements the chrome and gives you a sure grip.

Customer Review: Love it
I really liked the case. It gives a unique look to my blue nano. I don’t get any scratches like the other reviews. I see where you can get scrathes from opening and closing the case with a coin. But that can be fixed by not opening the case, or just using your nails if they are sturdy enough and you can carefully open up the case.

The only bad thing about the case, is I get lots of scratches on it. And I think I’m pretty careful, but scratches all over the darn thing. But still looks great because it is mirrored. Bought the blue one at best buy too, but this one is soo much better looking. Go Chrome all the way.

Customer Review: Sleek & Streamlined, Gets A+ For Looks, F for Practicality
Pros: Great-looking design gets ***** out of 5. Sleek and spare, there’s the added visual bonus of the screen “disappearing” when the screen light is off and reappearing when it’s back on. Protects your IPod from scratches and minor bumps but I’m not sure how it’ll stand to drops and major impacts.

Cons: Highly impractical esp. if you use your iPod mostly outdoors. Strangely enough, you CANNOT see the screen when you’re in bright or direct sunlight outdoors (you can see a bit in the shade). The whole case protects the iPod (with a matte rubber half in the back and the only opening on the iPod dial) so you can just see the screen in artifical light, not natural. Even then it’s darker than normal. Also it’s a little prone to marks and tiny scratches. In a span of more than a month, it’s already gotten lots of tiny marks and possibly permanent smudges (Fantastick and Windex won’t work). Also sensitive to the natural oils you get on your hands so fingerprints are a common sight though seemingly temporary.

Average: Three (3) out of 5 stars. If you’re highly averse to those clunky protective cases, or horribly designed skins like I am, the great, unique look balances out the absurd lack of practicality of the Griffin Reflect. It won’t last long is my guess. There’s a very slight, barely noticeable, loosening of the case which I sense once in a while.

Chicago Metallic Gourmetware Original Muffin Top Pan
Have you ever eaten the top of the muffin and thrown the rest away? Muffin crowns are indeed the best part, so why not invent a pan that practically elimates the bottoms? Far less wasteful, no more guilt, lots of yummy muffin. Featured in Cook’s Illustrated Resources September/October 2002 If you favor the crusty, browned top of the muffin over the delicate, crumbly bottom, a muffin-top pan might be for you. Almost flat, each of the pan’s six muffin cups is jut 1/2 inch deep, yielding flying-saucer shaped muffins that are virtually all crispy brown top. Our favorite pan is made by Chicago Metallic…”
Customer Review: I love muffin tops and this pan is the tops.
I bought one a few months ago and am so pleased with it, I ordered another. Now I can make twice as many muffin tops. A few tips I have discovered. * As the instructions say, definitely decrease the oven temp by 35 deg * Keep on higher oven rack * My fav recipe calls for 14 minutes of cook time so decreasing by 10 minutes (as the instructions recommend) is not practical. I usually decrease cooking time by about 15%. * Decreasing cooking time often does not get the tops as brown as I like so I broil them for about 2 minutes after the (adjusted) cooking time. (However watch them CLOSELY until you get the hang of it.)
Customer Review: Great Muffins!
This pan makes the best muffins! After tasting muffin tops at a local bakery, I decided I had to make my own. I just used a regular muffin recipe and they turned out so well. These muffins pack so much better than regular muffins and don’t crumble as easily. Very handy to hold. The pan has that nice no stick finish that is so nice to bake with & clean up. One very happy baker here.

Customer Review: Very nice pizza pan
Perfect for smallish large pizzas. If you get a big pizza, forget it. This is a small pan. But it works GREAT for frozen pizzas.
Customer Review: Great pan, needs yearly replacement
I love the way this pizza pan works, and recommend it as long as you’re willing to replace it every year or so. The nonstick surface works for a while, and then crud starts building up that’s impossible to remove. Eventually it gets too gross to keep using. It comes with a silly “lifetime warranty” that requires you to ship it to New Jersey at your expense plus send $7.00 for return shipping, so buying a new one from Amazon ends up being less expensive. I wish it were just solid, uncoated aluminum so I could scrub the dickens out of it when it gets encrusted with melted sauce and cheese. But I do like the big holes that expose the crust and help make it … well, crusty.

Make bakery-quality scones from your home! Contains eight triangle-shaped slice slots so you can bake scrumptious scones or delicious biscuits for the whole family. Nonstick surface makes it easy to clean. Limited lifetime warranty.
Customer Review: Great Scones…………………….
I have purchased this pan, as well as two others as gifts, because I enjoy baking with this, producing great, perfect scones each time. I use a recipe that came with the original Nordic ware pan. This pan bakes evenly, quickly and perfect scones pop out each time. I spray it with Pam or a like spray oil lightly, and the cleanup is quick. Would recommend it for scone bakers.
Customer Review: Fantastic product
I love this product. I don’t have to roll out dough to make scones anymore; just press the dough directly into the pan. It is a breeze to clean as well. I own 3 of them!

Weber Style Professional Grade Grill Pan
Just the right tool for cooking pan fries on the grill / Try it for delicate fish, vegetables, and even fruit / Made of 430-grade stainless steel
Customer Review: AWESOME
This grill pan along with the weber grill basket is a must. Makes grilling easy, fast, simple and of course yummy!
Customer Review: Weber makes quality accessories
Yes, this pan is expensive at $19.99. It helps that there is super saver shipping, and when I bought this, it also qualified on the 4 for 3 special. My husband was impressed with the quality of the steel and workmanship in this item. I’m thinking that in light of the reviews citing difficulty in cleaning that I will try PAM on the surface and will report on that later. It is suitable for the dishwasher per the packaging.
