Dixie Perfect Touch Hot Cup, 8 oz, 25/BG Review

Dixie Perfect Touch Hot Cup, 8 oz, 25/BG
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Described as a box of 500, weighing 13 pounds, and marked down 97%, this is in fact a bag of 25 at around retail price with the same shipping charge that would have applied to a 13 pound box. Deception? I think so. Probably just confusing enough to be legal, but I'm not even sure of that.

Insulated Mug with Lid Review

Insulated Mug with Lid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The mug I purchased has a lid with a swivel slider that is supposed to seal it. This one allows almost as much liquid through when closed as it does when open. I have had other mugs in the past that did not leak.
The handle is also not ergonomic. It is too skinny to fit comfortably in my hand.

Aladdin 12oz. Heat & Go- Micro Lunch Bowl, Assorted Colors: Pink & Blue. Review

Aladdin 12oz. Heat and Go- Micro Lunch Bowl, Assorted Colors: Pink and Blue.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using this for my kids' "hot lunch" for 2 years. The food does not come out "piping hot", but who wants to burn your kid's mouth? We put everying thing in this, from pizza cut up small and layered with parchment paper, to soup, to fried rice, to spaghetti to chicken nuggets and tater tots. The trick is that you need to know how to maximize your heat retention. First, fill the bowl with tap water and pop it into the microwave for 2-3 minutes (longer if you are zapping more than one bowl). As soon as it's done, put the lid on (must be straight) while it's still in the microwave (so you don't scald yourself) and screw shut. I let the hot water sit in the bowl while I fix the kids breakfast and get ready. About 15 minutes before we leave, I dump out the hot water, dry the bowl and lid (only if you want to keep something crisp like nuggets, egg rolls, etc.) and put the food in. I zap it for 2 minutes, toss/stir it and re-zap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on how cold the food was going in. As soon as it is done, the lid goes on (straight)immeidately, tightened down and put in the lunch box. Avoid storing cold items in the same box. My kids have 2-tiered insulated lunch boxes from Land's End to separate hot from cold.
For crispier foods like nuggets, I first heat them in the toaster oven. When the food is ready, I dry out the bowl and lid, pop the food in and zap it for 60-90 seconds. The lid must go on immnediately, or you will lose some heat.
We loathe our school's over-priced "hippy-dippy organic" healthy lunch vendor, so this is the perfect way around it. You save money by eating leftovers or food from home and your kids aren't throwing away their hot lunch behind your back. Give them what they like to eat and everyone is happy. The only drawback to this item that I've found is the lid. It takes a little practice to get it on straight the first time. If you screw it down off-kilter, it will leak both it's contents and heat. After 2 years, I think I've gotten my money's worth.

Progressive International Insulated Gravy Server Review

Progressive International Insulated Gravy Server
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Well-made gravy boats. I bought these for Thanksgiving this year. They definitely look good, and kept the gravy warm while sitting on the table. The pour spout is a little wide and flat, but it still works fine. I bought two of these for my table, and that worked out well.

Chinet Casual Blue Lunch Plates (8.75-Inch), 150-Count Plates Review

Chinet Casual Blue Lunch Plates (8.75-Inch), 150-Count Plates
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Plates are paper, thick enough to be held at the edge without bending, and colorful. Perfect for a hotdog, if anyone still eats the poisonous things, or a sandwich. Just don't try a coleslaw or baked beans. The plate is not designed for any liquids, and will readily absorb fluid and seep through to your lap or the table. The 'adults' in my family used them for frisbies, and I am told they worked well.

Bodum Canteen Double-Wall Shot/Espresso Glasses, Set of 2 Review

Bodum Canteen Double-Wall Shot/Espresso Glasses, Set of 2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was in NYC earlier this year on business, and I was served an espresso in one of these glasses. It stayed hot for at least 5 times longer than a normal glass and I immediately bought 4 when I returned home. I use these every day; they are utilitarian and beautiful - perfect design in other words.

The Bodum Canteen double wall shot/espressoglass is 3 ounces in size and can be used for cold or warm beverages.Its unique design is appealing to the eye when filled with your favorite beverage.With its double layer of borosilicate glass it appears as though the liquid is 'floating' within the glass.They will not sweat when filled with a cold beverage, so you will not have to use a coaster.The double wall creates a thermal effect, helping to keep your cold drinks cold and your hot drinks hot for longer periods of time.These mouth blown glasses are an exciting product for any home, restaurant, and cafe and are a definite conversation piece.The double wall also makes for a nice votive candle holder, eliminating wax spills and the need for a coaster.Bodum's insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass. Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass traditionally used to make scientific lab glass.Stronger than traditional "soda-lime" glass, borosilicate can be used for everything from drinkware to cookware.Borosilicate glass substitutes boron oxide in place of the soda and lime used in everyday glassware.The boron oxide acts as the glue holding the silicate together.Due to small size of boron particles, the glass is held together tighter, resulting in a stronger, lighter glass.Borosilicate glass doesn't need to be as thick as traditional glass to be just as strong due to the bonding capability boron oxide.Borosilicate is simply a different type of glass that is resistant to temperature swings and scratching.Because the particles are held together so tightly, borosilicate glass is resistant to temperature swings,In addition to being dishwasher safe borosilicate will not become cloudy over time; you can rest assured that after 1,000 cycles, the glass will be as clear as the day you bought it.

I Am Not a Plastic Cup Plastic Acrylic Tumbler ECO CUP on Ice with Straw Review

I Am Not a Plastic Cup Plastic Acrylic Tumbler ECO CUP on Ice with Straw
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great cup! It really doesn't sweat at all and is very sturdy. The lid screws on so it is almost leakproof (not completely because of the straw, of course). I like that the straw has a little bulge at the bottom, to keep it from coming completely through the lid and falling out. Overall, this cup is even better than I expected. I do wish it came in a smaller size than 16 oz, but that's not a big deal.
In case you're wondering, the cup is completely clear with no logo (one of those pictured appears to have the "eco cup" logo on it").

Executive Leather Travel Mug - Pink Review

Executive Leather Travel Mug - Pink
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really wanted a coffee mug that was attractive as well as useful. As far as being attractive, it gets an A+. I've even gotten several compliments on how "pretty" it is. As far as how it functions, it does a pretty good job but it has a few things to work on. First, it seems to be a bit "top heavy". It is really easy to knock over and I have several times, which brings me to my other point. It does leak a bit. Not much, but it is by no means, spill proof. So be careful. It is also not easy to clean. The lid has a turn-top which allows you to "close" and "open" it. However, the gadget that allows this cup to function like this does not come off all the way to clean so you really have to try to get in there with something small to get the "goop" cleaned out. I had to do this today with a toothpick. Overall, this mug is pretty good. It has it's issues, but it is attractive and does keep your hot beverage, hot for a good amount of time. It does stay relatively sealed, so it gets a pretty good rating on my chart despite the few flaws it has.

Stanley 17-Ounce Heatkeeper- Red Review

Stanley 17-Ounce Heatkeeper- Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Save your money! I was very disappointed with this product. Unfortunately all the Stanley® and Thermos® products are chineese made so that does not factor in to the purchase, as heartbreaking as it is. The real problem with this product is that it just does not work as advertised. The concept is great - heat yourself a lunch before work and enjoy at lunch time. In reality it does not work. I have tried two of these in case I had a defective one, but no such thing. I heat soup or chilly scalding hot and seal. Less than three hours later it is barely luke warm. And this is in a heated environment, someone who works outside might as well pack it with ice, it would be just as warm.
I would give it ZERO STARS if that was an option.
Regardless of color, the poor thermal quality of this product is the same.
Put your money towards a Thermos Work Series®. It may be twice as much and you have to heat using a different container, but your meal will still be HOT at dinner time.

We purchased these mugs to keep on our bedside tables during the night. My wife and I both get very dry mouths and thought these would keep our beverages cool all night long. We fill the mugs with ice and water when we go to bed, and there is till some ice in the mugs when we wake up. The mugs are perfect sized for holding hot or cold drinks through out the day too. They are dishwasher safe with a snap on top and a nice big grip. These were one of our best purchases and would recommend them to anyone needing use of a mug of this type.

It took me a LONG time to find a coffee mug that was dishwasher safe, was BPA free, didn't leak and kept coffee hot on my husband's commute to work. I don't remember how I stumbled upon these mugs, but they fit the bill to a tee. I bought 4 of these mugs and my husband says they are great. We highly recommend them.
