I am disabled and I love my soup bowl. It's a different brand (sistema) but I use it for everything, including salad, cold cereal, chile, noodles, baked potatoes, etc. The lid and handle makes transferring food from one room to the next a breeze without spilling anything or burning yourself. The lid also keeps my food warmer for longer after cooking and it allows me to store/seal leftovers right in the same bowl. I have not had any issues carrying it - in fact the handle makes it much easier for me to carry compared to a normal bowl. It's honestly one of my favorite kitchen items.

@covenof2 2 года назад

Take it from someone who has made this mistake: if your microwaveable lid has a vent, use it. Not using the vent can cause warping from the build up of steam and heat. Lid never fits right after that. Most products don't warn you about that, but it's a risk with all of them.

@Vladimir_Kv 3 года назад

I disagree with you. I tried to use "generic plastic kitchenware" (tupperware is a brand afaik) in the microwave, and it did melt. Microwave-able things are made from special plastics, so it's good that they are clearly distinct. I don't argue that their prices are overinflated, though.

I have a couple of $1 pint-sized (literally, 2-cup capacity) soup cups I got at Big Lots a while back. They are fine to pour hot stuff into, and they work well for microwaving smaller portions. Would really like to grab the one that Our Host reviewed here, though.

I have one of the soup bowls, and you should definitely leave the vent open when cooking soup, lest you end up with an explosion and a large mess to clean out of the microwave (which I have experienced). . As for the veggie steamer, a lot depends on how crunchy or floppy you like your vegetables.

@brucecoleman7412 3 года назад

Great review, James. For fresh corn, cook in the husk for about 2 minutes per ear. Remove from the microwave and cut off the big end. You can cut it first if you like. Squeeze the small end and the corn will slide right out of the husk with almost all of the silks left behind. Throw the husks away and you are done.

Comment on the Veg steamer: About a year ago I purchased a microwave dinner that came with a steamer tray, I saved it and have used it successfully for a year now, it holds enough for two. Example: We cook Asparagus in it all the time, and the amount it holds is borderline to much for two people. I would say the Veg Steamer is unnecessary for what it does, just buy yourself a a frozen meal with one in it, and it most likely will be cheaper and function just well if not better. My two cents

I clean houses for work (vacation rentals) and often bring a pack of ramen for lunch. I feel like the soup mug would be perfect for work for me because when I've microwaved in a bowl, it frequently will boil over and make a mess in the microwave, and so I usually take the time to boil it on the stove but that also creates extra cleanup and takes longer. With the soup mug I could do it all in one container, clean it quick in the sink, and move on! Thanks for showcasing that!

I put a whole ear of corn, with husk and silk, in the microwave. Set for 4 minutes, cook. Using hot pad, bring to cutting board and cut about one inch off stem end. Using hot pad, grab silk end and squeeze. The corn slides out the bottom, cut end. The silk does not stay on the cob. It comes away with the husk. No water to dilute corn flavor. Two ears, 8 minutes. Try it. Even my Norwegian brother-in-law converted to this method. No cost but the corn.

Your channel is so oddly addicting lol. Just a friendly tip though on this product, you were confused on the reheat vent thing. Remember microwaving something that's already cooked isn't additionally cooking it you're just reheating it. rule of thumb if you can eat it directly out of its container without doing anything to it it's already cooked. It may not be the most tasty way to eat it but it is already cooked, thus even though it may be the first time you're heating it it's not the first time it's been heated and cooked. 😉

@@jeremiahbachmann3901 Agreed. While some plastics may be labeled as microwavable, that may only mean that they won't melt, but who knows what can leach into your food? To be safe, microwave only with glass or ceramics, not these plastic gizmos.

@enigmaoftheechidna6279 3 года назад

For the veggie steamer, I would have tried leaving it in the microwave for a minute or two after cooking so that it continues to cook a little more in that environment. This method seems to work well with things like my ramen cooker and mac & cheese cooker, not sure how much that would vary in terms of veggies tho.

@jcee8493 3 года назад

Useless wastes of plastic, everything cooked here can easily be done in a glass or ceramic dish. You can also cook corn in the husk in a microwave, just trim off excess bits on both ends to fit in a smaller machine and take off the outer leaves if they are dry. I cook it for 90 seconds then turn over and cook for another 90 seconds though my microwave is kind of crap and old so might not take as long in a better machine.

@claycassin8437 3 года назад

I soak the corn in water with the husks wrapped back on on after unshucking it, for a few minutes too, which develops steam inside the husk...works great! Oh, and free!

Glass can shatter. Plastic is safer if you're a regular microwave user.

@@Midgey you have to use borosilicate glass commonly branded as Pyrex this is safer than plastic. you won't have any chance of the plastic leeching into the foods

@jcee8493 3 года назад

@@Midgey By the looks of your profile picture I've been using a microwave since longer than you've been alive and I don't recall ever shattering any glass in it. You still have to put water in it with the food item to help the cooking along and evenly distribute the heat. I use corelle and pyrex dishes mostly.

Oh my.. you crushed my heart and soul into million pieces right at the moment you bashed the ramen into oblivion. And to add salt to the inury you used a fork.. I.. i can't even. That's like shredding spaghetti into tiny bits, cooking it in plain water, draining it loosely, and then adding some salt and eating it with a knife in the end.

@jimjones6960 2 года назад

We use the soup bowls with those vent lids, they work great and are super easy cleanup for quick soup or noodles. If you don't eat it all you can snap the vent closed, put the lid on and pop it in the fridge for later.

I have seen his BLENDJET, review. After seeing it, I bought the blue color . Love it alot. I use it to blend my fruits for my day job. It holds my morning breakfast smoothie drink. Love the honest reviews. Easier to drink my fresh fruit than it is to eat it. Love the Blend Jet, can't imagine life without it. Without it, I skip breakfast totally.
