We purchased and received this machine about a month ago from Amazon.com. Since then we've enjoyed using it. Set up was a breeze...nothing difficult to assemble. We wiped everything down to sanatize it and popped our first batch. While our first batch as decent...we had quite a few unpopped kernals (we didn't use enough oil) and have had to refine our technique a bit. The machine itself seems to be of decent quality for $200 bucks. It's worked just fine and we have absolutely no complaints at this point.

This is what we've learned in the past month that may be of use to others. If you don't use enough oil you'll end up with a lot of unpopped kernals. We use about 4 TABLESPOONS of oil with 1 cup of popcorn and it seems to be the perfect combination. One cup of popcorn weighs about 7 ounces and that's the perfect amount for my wife and I.....yes we do love popcorn. If you're not as much into popcorn as we are....you could probably give a nice treat to 4 or 5 people with one cup of unpopped corn and 4 tablespoons of oil.

One thing we'd highly suggest is that you use a product called "Flavacol" which is basically butter flavored salt. You add it right to the oil in the pot before adding the popcorn. We used about a level TEASPOON for one cup of unpopped popcorn and it was about right for us. It's the product that two movie theaters use that we asked....that's how we found out about it. It definately does give your popcorn that "movie theatre taste" we all know and love. We couldn't find Flavacol around town here....so we found you can order it from Amazon or Ebay or probably a number of other places as well. It's cheap...so no worries about the cost.

Buy this machine and go forth and enjoy !

Popcorn tastes as good as the machine looks. It is really an afordable way to go for a small store, church or such. We had used it at our local church for family video showings. We also used it for Bible school events. It has held up well and still looks great. It is very easy to use and clean.

I read the reviews for this and other 8 oz popcorn machines and decided that this popcorn machine would be a good value for the money. I think I was wrong. The first issue is with the drop down door, when opening the glass doors, it always falls off of the 2 little slots for it. Maybe I can install a couple of hinges to hold it in place. The second issue is with the kettle itself. It doesn't fit the 2 brackets hanging down very well. Also, the lids on the kettle flip up and do not fall back down as the popcorn is popping and about half of the kernals come out without popping. It may also be the depth of the kettle (it isn't much deeper than the 4 oz popper I had before this), I don't know. If I was using cheap popcorn, I would blame that, but I use the Gold Medal 8 oz packets.

I was hoping to make movie night more fun and making the popcorn less of a chore but in the end, I believe the 4 oz machine was easier to use and considering the amount of popcorn actually popped, was less time consuming. It's too bad really, I had high hopes that this was going to work for my family. The kids were able to use the last one we had but this one is too much trouble for them to even mess with. For the $225 (with shipping) I spent, I can't say I could recommend this model to anyone else.

We play poker every weekend at our house. We thought this would be the perfect item to have for snack while we played. So far (1 month) it has been the greatest. The house smells like popcorn when the players arrive and the taste is unbelievable. We make two batches and it fills 10 adults for 3 hours of playing. I would recommend this for the home theater.

Product performs as expected. the one bit of advice to anyone purchasing this item is READ and pay heed to the INSTRUCTIONS! I went through 2 before I realized the reason they didn't last long was that I was letting the liquid go past the point of damaging the heater. in other words don't walk off while it's immursed for it takes one time and one time only to damage it. It takes about 5 minutes to heat water to 180 to 190 degrees perfect for tea. if you do this it will last a long time.

The name of the product is pretty self explanatory.

Its PORTABLE.

Its IMMERSIBLE.

And it HEATS.

So why would anyone not think this works well?

You can't heat soup, or lasagna, or hot chocolate or even coffee or tea if you follow the directions to the letter. You can heat WATER. PERIOD.

Anything else and you're likely going to be disappointed that the unit dies a premature death.

That immersible thing is tricky too, because the cord is short.

You can't plug it in before you immerse it.

You can't remove it while it is still plugged in.

You can't let it boil off the water leaving it above water level (meaning you CANNOT leave this unattended).

Follow these three simple rules, and I think you'll be more than pleased with yours.

One that I had lasted over a year...until-distracted-I forgot about it.

Came back to find a half full cup of water and a dead heater.

My bad.

Learn from my mistakes.

Enjoy hot beverages anywhere on the go!

AND FOR ANYONE WONDERING...

ACEHARDWAREOUTLET folks are GREAT.

This is the third immersion heater I have used and it is the best. I paid twice as much for the others and this one heats water to boiling within about five minutes as opposed to ten or more minutes with the others. I got this one at ACE hardware.

Honest reviews on Norpro 559 Immersion Heater, For Beverage/Soup, 300-Watt Kitchen

I bought this immersion heater to take with me into the hospital. I was having radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid cancer. I knew I'd be able-bodied, but bored, under orders to drink lots of fluids, and seeing very little of the nurses, as they do these treatments in special isolation rooms. It was such a good thing to be able to have a cup of hot herbal tea, or some cocoa, whenever I wanted, just as I would at home. The immersion heater worked perfectly. The key is to remember that you must never plug the heater in until the coil is immersed in your cup, and never remove the coil from your cup until you unplug it. The heater boils water so fast, you really do need to watch ita watched pot may never boil, but a forgotten immersion heater would boil your cup dry very quickly. I had to put my heater away in a box with the books I read in the hospital, as they scanned my stuff with a Geiger counter when my treatment was over, and it read "hot". Everything will be safe to use again after a month, and I will be glad to have the heater to use when we travel. My post-treatment scan gave me a clean bill of health, so I will be enjoying this heater for a long time to come!

Works great if you ALWAYS follow these steps:

1. Fill your cup with water

2. Insert the heater into the water, THEN plug it in.

3. It takes a couple of minutes to get the water boiling.

4. Unplug the heater first, THEN remove it from the water.

Got this oil heater from Target a month ago. I was dubious about these types of heater because of the smell. I placed it in the patio for 3 hours and brought it into the garage for another 2. The next day the garage still had some smell. Took it inside to the family room and the smell was all gone! I used the 1500W setting to burn of the smell but tripped the line plug switch. I only use the 600W & 900W setting for cost reasons.

I purchased this Holmes oil-filled radiator at our local store. I've owned several different brands of oil-filled heaters over the years. My first one was a Lakewood and it was an excellent heater. They don't seem to be available anymore. My second was a Honeywell with digital controls, likewise an excellent heater while it lasted. I also tried and returned two different DeLonghi heaters. Both DeLonghi heaters continued to put out irritating fumes even after the break in period. Alas, that was also the fate of this Holmes heater.

I unboxed the Holmes and set it outside, plugged it into the outdoor outlet and let it run on high for more than an hour. When I brought it inside it was still putting out fumes, but they didn't seem too noxious just a low level odor of warm plastic. My mistake. By bedtime, I didn't feel so good. The next morning I awoke with a headache. When I left the house my headache went away. When I came back, so did the headache. I turned the heater down to the 900 watt setting so I couldn't detect any more odor; however, the next day my headache was much worse and I was feeling nauseated. The Holmes was packed up and returned immediately!

I'm sticking with the Honeywell HZ-709, also available at Target. I brought one home and cranked it up the same day I returned the Holmes. It's running right now and I'm perfectly comfortable. I swear it puts out more heat. Best of all no fumes! It costs more, but it's worth the price. Apparently Kaz (the manufacturer) cares enough to use better quality materials which can withstand the heat without continually outgassing toxic fumes into the air you breathe. You can see my review of the Honeywell on its product page. Honeywell HZ-709 7 Fin Oil Filled Radiator Heater with Digital Controls Thanks for reading my review(s). I hope they are helpful.

I bought this item from Target on special offer as I thought this would be a useful background heater to boost the room temperature. It was easy to set up, simply clipping the wheels onto the bottom of the unit using the clamps which are tightened by hand.

The radiator has a variable thermostat to control the temperature and two separate power settings which can be combined to make a third. Settings are 600W, 900W or 1500W (both heater units on).

The surface of this radiator does get very hot, which is what it's designed to do, so I am not sure about the meaning of the phrase in the description that it has "specially engineered thermal fins to maximize heat flow, yet have a low surface temperature".

The radiator is easy to move on the wheels BUT I take away one star as it would be useful to have insulated handles on both sides of the radiator so that it can be lifted when hot, and not just one side for wheeling.

This shortcoming was noticeable when I had to move the hot radiator downstairs and so had to carry it with one hand on the insulated handle and the other on the opposite wheels. The unit is not particularly heavy so this was not a big problem, just an inconvenient design.

Other reviewers remarked that the radiator smelled bad, but we have not noticed this at all.

Overall I would recommend this product.

Honest reviews on Holmes HOH3000 Oil Filled Heater

I've only owned this item for approximately 24 hours, but it has made all the difference. My bedroom is right above the garage with poor insulation, so my bedroom is always too cold in the winter and too hot in the summers. It took a couple of hours to actually warm up m bedroom, but by the morning my bedroom was incredibly warm. I'm not really sure what smell the first reviewers were complaining about, there was no plastic covering in my packaging and no assembly required what so ever. I have had no issues with smell at all. I would definitely recommend this to friend, especially for the price. Be forewarned the it is incredibly hot to the touch, so place it where you want it to be before you turn it on. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is because it did not go above and beyond as far as space heaters go.

Cheap Lasko Pro Performance Blower Fan, 4900

Lasko Pro Performance Blower Fan, 4900
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
Hey folks! I must say that this Lasko fan is VERY impressive. I've owned this fan for well over 5 years ... and it works just as good as day 1.

It's exceptionally quite because it uses a turbine not blades. It moves a vast amount of air, even on low speed. It would blow away any typical $15 box fan. I'd be willing to bet that it would outperform an 18" Patten high velocity air circulator! It's also better than the similar looking Stanley, which get high marks from reviewers here.

I found that the Stanley is a smaller less powerful fan and it's not built as tough. Remember to compare the size and weight and you'll see a difference. For an extra $10, this fan is a much better buy.

Incidentally, I have 3 cats and I had suspected that cat fur might have reduced the performance of this fan ... so I decided to take it apart. This was easily done by removing approximately 8 screws. My suspicions were correct! I found what appeared to be a 1/2 inch thick blanket of cat hair on the turbine. This was nearly choking the air flow. I cleaned it out and then blew it out with my air compressor. The fan now runs like new, full force again.

The reason to tell this cat story is simply you need to know that this fan is serviceable ... by you, as long as you own a Philips screwdriver. Other fans cannot be serviced and would NEVER last over 5 years.

I saw no reviews on this fan, so I felt compelled to let you know my experience. I would recommend this fan over ANY other fan without hesitation.

One last note: as an alternate choice, I also had this Lasko tower fan (turbine) for over 5 years. Lasko #4924 High Velocity Blower (overpriced here $49 at Sam's Club)

Cheers!

This is truly an amazing fan. I was at a local BBQ place and they had one of these circulating air in there. It was putting out so much air that I had to go take a look to see what brand it was. So I ordered one the same day from Amazon. I'm somewhat of a hobby person around the house and on occasion I need something to remove fumes (paint, glue, whatever) from an enclosed area... quickly. This thing will do it.

The design is shared with a few other brands but this one additionally has the power outlets on the side. Those might come in handy for tools. The power cord is a large grounded version that is about 8' long. The angle (height) can be adjusted. Although I'd just like to point out here that due to the smaller than normal footprint of this fan, it can easily be sat on top of other things, making placement very flexible. It pulls air in from the side so if you are trying to pull in fresh air, it will need to be sat back a little farther than a standard fan with blades.

Noise, while present, is not excessive. Actually, it's not too bad at all. I could sit and watch TV with this thing running and it wouldn't be too distracting. The sound is a constant and doesn't consist of any clicking or rattling noises that would become annoying.

I really like this fan and plan to use it for many things.

I agree 100% with the other review. I also purchased this probably 5 years ago from Sams club and have since purchased a few more. I have used these daily working as a trim carpenter to keep the air moving in the homes during those hot days and they keep on ticking. They get dirty, bang around in the back of the truck, have gotten wet, and still work like the day they were new.

They move a ton of air, and do it much quieter than a normal fan. Very highly recommended.

Just wanted to update my review a bit, I have had this fan going on at least 10 years and it still works just like new. It sure doesn't look like it, but I have had no problems what so ever with it. A few times it has gotten so dirty and full of dust that I have used my small pressure washer to blast it clean, and it still works great. Probably wouldn't recommend doing that, but hey it owes me nothing at this point.

Honest reviews on Lasko Pro Performance Blower Fan, 4900

I took a gamble and ordered one of these, even with the bad reviews lately with the noise. Powered mine on, and yep, super noisy just the other reviews. Being a very handy person, I decided I'm going to fix this or attempt to. One caveat, I've taken my furnace apart and changed out my blower motor, so this little fan didn't scare me. The problem I found was the motor, which is screwed in on the side with the power plug and outlet, was not screwed in, almost not at all. There are 3 screws holding on the motor to the housing. Two of the screws were only 25% screwed in, the third screw was inside the black housing (thankfully).

It's very simply to fix, takes 15 mins, and just two tools.

You'll need a Philips screwdriver and a 10mm socket.

All but one of the screws are the same size, so no need to worry about what screw comes from what hole.

Unplug the unit!

With the unit sitting up right, take the 2 screws out of the black housing (opposite of the power side). One is just below the handle, one is in the back below the cylinder.

Now, sit the unit on its side (power side down). From the bottom supports, take out the two screws in each support from the side you've just taken the screws from.

Now, you can take off the outside panel with the grating on it.

With that off, you can see the handle attaches into the inside of the black housing. Here's the different screw you need to take off, from the handle, you'll see a smaller silver screw, take that off and now you can remove the cylinder with the inside black panel attached.

Lift up, you'll have to spin the cylinder around until you'll see there is a notch out of it that matches up with a notch on the inside. Sit the cylinder aside.

You'll see the blower cylinder, and it's attached with a bolt to the main cylinder (what it spins on). Use the 10mm socket and unscrew it.

Take the plastic cover and bolt off by lifting straight up on it.

Before you lift off the cylinder, give it a spin. On mine, it was still brushing up against the plastic, that's the noise that you hear in the one video review, or what you've heard in person. Now, you can lift up the blower cylinder. Sit both aside.

Leave the washer on the blower spindle (where the blower cylinder sits on). You'll hopefully see three silver screws holding the motor to the housing. Make sure they are tight.

Sit the blower cylinder back onto the spindle. It has a flat spot on the spindle that needs to match up with the blower cylinder. Do NOT try to force it on, it should slide right on. Now, give the cylinder a spin, notice if it still makes any noise, or if it's now very quiet.

Just repeat the process to put it back together. Make sure to tighten the bolt for the blower cylinder but not overly tight, as you are dealing with plastic! The one thing I did differently was when putting on the yellow cylinder, I lined it up with the handle and then rather than try to fish the notches together by spinning it around, I just pushed it down gently until it popped over the notch.

7 screws and one bolt later, I was a very happy customer. Hopefully, this helps you if you find the motor making awful noise. Good luck.

I read hundreds of product reviews every year and have for 10 years, but almost never write one. I bought this fan at a Wal-mart a month ago for $45. I had not read any reviews, but wandered by the fan aisle at Wal-Mart that day. I wanted to find the quietest and most powerful. Guess what? It turned out the same fan was quietest and most powerful! That got my attention first. Next as I stood in front of it, it honestly cooled me off even there in the store and I got that same wonderful feeling I had when I was in grade school and we had the big fan on the floor and I'd aim it up and let it blow up my t-shirt. I winced a bit at the $45 price since many simple fans are half the price. I went ahead and bought it spur of the moment (as I had no plans to buy or consider a fan). I keep it near my recliner where I watch TV and it has saved me much in AC bills as it keeps me cool with that strong stream of air. Also, when I travel by car, I take it with me and it's a fantastic thing to have in the hotel room as it equalizes the temp and provides a steady strong stream to cool off completely in less than a minute when you've been out in the hot Texas weather. I'm thinking of getting several more so I don't have to pick this one up and move it with me. I'm certified in disaster recovery and this would be an excellent fan to more quickly dry an area which potentially could be at risk for mold if left for more than 48 hours. It's one of those products that now I would fight to keep! Not bad for an impulse purchase!!

I'd recommend this over any fan I've ever had. Buy it and you will find many uses for it that will truly save you.

We rent an old 3-story Victorian home with 8 bedrooms, 4 baths, and 3 kitchens. There's a lot to heat in the winter. Even with new furnace and heat pumps etc. it was costing us $800-$1100/month to heat during December-February. After trying several space heaters, we opted for one of these, and it really is a hit. I keep one in my office, one in my bedroom, and one in the living room. At night the one from the living room is moved upstairs to heat the kids' bedrooms. Because the radiator is quiet, I can take calls in my office without a problem. Because it isn't blowing out forced air, there's none of the sinus issues normally seen in winter when the heat is on. We just love them. This is our second year using this model. I'm going to pick up a few more and use them upstairs as well. My electric consumption for that first year dropped more than 50% and we stayed warmer. This year, we haven't used the central heat at all so far, and my electricity consumption has dropped almost 70% what it had been when I was trying to use the central heat and forced air space heaters. I was hoping they'd be cheaper this year, but even at this price, they're worth it. It's such a nice, even, pleasant heat. You don't have to be right near it. It won't burn your skin if you bump it, and you can turn it off or down at night if you get too warm.

This is a slightly edited version of a review I wrote about the Delonghi Vento:

I now own three different models of oil filled radiators. The Delonghi Safe Heat Oil-Filled Radiator with Overheat Audible Alarm is great, but not as quick to heat as the Delonghi Vento. The heat from the Vento radiates very quickly out the top of the unit. The Safe Heat heater puts a little more heat on the floor, so I am actually glad that I have a couple different models. We use the Safe Heat version in the bedroom because it is very quiet, and heats the floor a little quicker than the Vento. The Safe Heat also has an audible alarm if it overheats, and automatic tip-over shutoff. Those will be nice safety features while we sleep.

Back to the Vento: The timer feature is great; it allows you to automatically turn the heater on and off as many times as you want, up to every 15 minutes, for a full 24 hours! In the winter I plan to have it turn on early in the morning and heat up the living room while we're still sleeping. The analog timer is MUCH better than a digital timer in my opinion. A digital timer has limitations on how many times you can turn it on and off (usually only once or twice). For now, I just leave all the switches "on" and turn it on and off manually.

I have an older Lakewood digital thermostat radiator also; that one we cannot use in the bedroom because the digital relay system to turn it on and off is very noisy, and keeps us awake. Out of the three, it is also the slowest to heat up but it has lasted me 10 years so far so I can't complain. I feel that all analog controls and relays are much quieter than the digital versions. The digital thermostat is nice in the kitchen to set a minimum, but too noisy in the bedroom. .

The Vento is in the living room, puts out the (by far) quickest and most heat, and fills the room-again, less on the floor but it heats the room quicker. The edges are curved so there is less potential for injury, and it really puts out most of the heat up and into the air--the unit doesn't seem to get quite as hot to the touch. The Vento took about twice as long as the Safe Heat to "burn in", but I just put it on full blast outside for about 4 hours and it was good to go. There is much more metal in this unit to "burn in" so it makes sense...

I highly recommend the Safe Heat heater, and even more than the Vento if you want heat on the floor as well!!! It warms up very quickly and is very reasonably priced, and has great safety features. It is our choice for the bedroom.

got this, based on reviews... to heat up my living room...

but i only feel the heat when standing 7" away from it and/or hunching over the top of it.

AND it has to be 3ft away from anything/everything so you can't put it to the side of the room, or out of the way...

really disappointing heater ornament.

Update: okay, so it didn't work in my living room with high ceilings, so I put it in my bedroom to see if it would be better and it did! It was really hot and toasty. So I think depending on the room.... It will work great or, not. So glad I won't have to return it.

Honest reviews on DeLonghi TRH0715SH Oil-Filled Radiator with Overheat Audible Alarm

This heater must be kept around 2 meters from any walls, furniture, book shelves, etc. That's tough to do in a small apartment. In my case there was no place to put it that wasn't within 2 meters of something. Desperate for heat in a slumlord-owned building with a draft and a poor radiator I tried to use it anyway. No go. As soon as the unit would start to heat up it would shut off because it was too close to the closet. A safety mechanism that is a good feature to be sure -just look at all the poor people who burn themselves up trying to heat their homes each winter after their utilities are shut off. Still, I couldn't use it in my place. I wish I would have seen some mention of that on Amazon.

This heater was installed in our new construction home as the primary heater for the master bathroom. The heater does put out heat, but I am unimpressed with the speed of the fan and how slowly the room heats up. Previously we had used a plug-in ceramic style heater that seemed to heat the room significantly faster. I believe that they are the same watt output, it may just be that the fan in this Cadet is low enough as to not evenly distribute the heated air. If you turn it on far enough in advance of needing it, things will work fine.

Last complaint is that there should be a way to turn off the timer clicking. While not exactly loud or distracting, a silent operation would be better.

Honest reviews on Cadet Manufacturing 65101 120/240-Volt White Com Pak Electric Bath

The only reason I purchased this unit was because it has a timer on it. I thought it would turn off the heat when the timer shuts off so that it wouldn't run continuously. It doesn't work that way. There is NO way to shut this off. The timer can temporarily override the thermostat control but it will NOT shut off the unit. So if you're looking for a timed heater, just buy a cheaper one and wire it through an external timer.

Down side this heater really makes the air smell of burnt propane or something will have you eyes watering in no time flat and not to mention the huge head ache from the carbon monoxide so be very sure to use in highly ventilated areas only as the stink lungs for days after you stop using it not to good for new construction Reno etc great for outside events or open tents where you will be very popular

--In large bold lettering, the outside of the box says, "3 Settings + Water Pause". There are NOT three settings. There are only two: spray or pulsating. The so-called "third" setting is achieved by sliding the ring tab somewhere in between the two notches, according to Waterpik customer service. The result is a wimpy, weak version of both combined together.

--There is no "pausing" of the water when using the "water pause" toggle switch. The water flow is simply diminished to ½ gallon per minute. Waterpik designed the shower head so that the switch is accessible only if you are holding it at chest level, or below. If you are washing your child or your dog (or both together) in the tub, this is a great feature. If YOU are the one taking a shower, and you have it parked in the holding bracket on the wall above your head, the switch is next-to-impossible to access. You then have to lift and lower the shower head off the bracket, each and every time you want to reduce the water flow.

--Every part of the shower assembly is designed to appear as if it's made of a durable metal. Well, it's not. Everything is made of cheap plastic or soft rubber. All of it.

2/10 Update: An additional misleading statement on the package is described in the "Comments" link, below, by "jor1228". Do read it.

I like this showerhead. After looking around, I'm pretty sure this is only handheld 1.5 gpm (well, this and the more expensive model by waterpik) showerhead, so I wasn't expecting much with the lack of choices. But I was pleasantly surprised. I can't tell the difference between this one and my old 2.5 showerhead on the normal setting. Really, it doesn't feel too light at all. I like the combination pulse+regular setting. Also, unlike a prior reviewer, I don't have any problem adjusting all the settings while the thing is still in it's holder (this is probably dependent on how high it's mounted vs how tall you are). The showerhead does seem a little cheap, with the materials and the fact that the 3rd setting is just putting the dial between the two settings (couldn't they have made a nice little click?) but it's not that expensive and it will save a bit of water. The water "pause" is a little weird. It drops the water flow to about half. I think a truly water-saving nut could still shower with it "paused". I think it's set that way for tankless water heaters, which turn off when the flow does, so you'd get cold water if it actually paused.

If you want a very low-flow handheld showerhead, and you aren't looking to spend to much money or get anything too fancy, then get this. It's a nice, basic, effective showerhead.

I didn't care for this at all. Yes, it reduces the water usage, but you use more water just trying to take a decent shower!

I liked the Delta aerating shower head, and I mounted it onto a flexible extension arm in the shower. It gives you a harder, more efficient, aerated shower than this.

Honest reviews on Waterpik Ecoflow Hand Held Showerhead

These water savers will never dispense high volumes of water which is why they save water and energy. This one delivers plenty of uniformly dispersed spray. They have a lifetime warranty. I have two of them and they both function perfectly. If you want a low cost option for a water saving shower, I would strongly recommend this shower head. I am a two time purchaser and I bought them years apart. That says something.

Good Nice water pressure even though it's only 1.5 gpm. Very comfortable effective showerhead.

Bad Only 2 settings. The pause button doesn't work on mine. Overall, the handle does feel a little cheap. It is light and feels like it could break easily.

I bought these to have around, you know, just in case. I placed a couple in each of the vehicles for emergency use, and have some at home.

Thinking I should try one, I opened up a "chili-macaroni" dinner. Inside I found the entree, a package of flat-bread type crackers, a packet of spiced apples (similar to pie-filling, although a little thinner), a packet of strawberry jam, a fig cookie, a lime drink mix, and a condiment package containing instant coffee, sugar, creamer, salt, pepper, a napkin, and a spoon.Also included is the heating packet, which I used to heat the entree. The heating packet did the job with the entree, in fact I had to wait a few minutes before the package was cool enough to handle. I also believe there was enough heat left to have warmed up the apples as well. I found all the food to be very good. Not dinner out on Saturday night mind you but they were all tasty. No nasty surprises at all.

I feel that these will be perfect to have around to supplement whatever food source you have available, should the times and circumstances demand it.
