    My husband and I adore the Always pan. We use it almost every day. It washes and cleans up so easily. And your food cooks so evenly. Definitely worth the money. I paid $80 for mine when it was on sale, probably at least two years ago.

  • @Donteatacowman
    @Donteatacowman 2 роки тому +29

    Some of these products seem to be cheaper, worse versions of something your average Home Depot salesperson could set you up with for only slightly more money. The "no set up/removable" stuff is appealing for people like me - renters who move a lot who never took home ec or shop - but they are relying on people not having even a passing knowledge of how this stuff is "supposed" to work. After my entire adult lifetime of using Command hooks, for instance, I was astonished to realize that a picture hanger hook and nail are wayyy cheaper, sturdier, and often actually leave LESS damage to walls (due to no paint getting peeled away). Sometimes I feel like the "gimmick" is that people don't know a product already exists...

      @Neenerella333 2 роки тому +3

      If you're hanging a picture that never moves, traditional metal and nail hangers are best. For hooks that are regularly jiggled, a nail hanger will loosen drywall and gradually open the hole larger(keys, coats, umbrella, etc) The command strips seen to work best on textured, semi gloss painted walls.

    I don't think you need to worry about winter for those solar lights unless you are living in a place that actually gets snow and some very cold temperatures.

    • @franktrinidad142
      @franktrinidad142 2 роки тому +3

      that's , as funny as it is, isnt the main reason why they said that.
      The main reason is because in some regions where winter is long and "hard", such as mine (i live in France, just near the swiss frontier in the mountain), the winter period isn't great for this, becaue day time is shorter and night time is longuer, so you get less reload/charge for a longuer duration.
      Adding to that that in most of winter's day, the sky is vry covered and dark, so the solar panel isn't that great working.
      that's the main reason.
      obviously for someone who live near Las Vegas, they are absolutly no reason to take it off as i m pretty sure the hardest winter in there is quite like my mid summer here XD
      the cold didn't really affter solar panel (my neighbor have some on their roof), they are pretty sturdy and the plastic and others parts, including electronics, wont be affected either if they aren't in direct contact. And that shouldn't be a problem as this is waterproof anyway.

    • @franktrinidad142
      @franktrinidad142 2 роки тому +2

      alos just to add... temperature here can go down from -25 to -30°C for all winter time with strong wind. We dont have much snow, only when it's more calm between 0°C to -5°C, otherwise it's just straigth up cold.
      record around here is -36,7°C on a city not too far.
      summer record also reach peak btw, Heat waves all along... XD a crazy place to live, and a perfect place for breaking stuff naturally with weather changes.

    14:40 I've been using my pillow cube for a couple of years now. I've got a bulging disc in my neck, and I'm a side sleeper, so it's actually helped me out a lot with neck pain. I will say that I have very broad shoulders, so I may get more neck bending in the night than most people when I sleep on my side and as such I have the thickest Pillow Cube they offer (6", i think. and I got the wider one), but for me it's been the perfect solution for me and has helped a ton with my neck pain. It definitely isn't for back sleepers and it might not be great for every side sleeper, but it was the ideal solution for me

    The Always Pan seemed like a good idea when I first saw it, but I was put off by the fact that you shouldn’t go above medium heat and it’s not supposed to go in the oven. I bought the Calphalon space saver set in stainless steel and all of them *can* go in the oven.
    As for that solar light, I wouldn’t be able to use it either. My house also faces north and I’m in Minnesota. If I couldn’t have it up in winter weather (as opposed to “calendar winter”) it would be useless for 6 months anyway. What would be the point?

    I watched your original pillow review. I had just bought a cube, and I did like it. My review one year later is, I do still like it, but I don’t use it every day, only sometimes. 2. Because it doesn’t “keep you cool” like any other pillow says they do. But number one hands down, is their fabric for the cases. They’re rough to the face. I hate them. I’ve tried a regular case, but then The extra fabric is bothersome. The support is great if you like hard pillows.

    I’ve got a 5 dollar pillow from Walmart 8 years ago that I still use every night, I’ve even sewed it up a couple times. My bf wants to get the purple pillow tho, good to know it holds up
