Best vanilla out there. Wish it came with free shipping, but still a good deal without.

After reading all the rave reviews about Nielsen-Massey vanilla, I purchased the 32 oz. for my Thanksgiving pie baking and Christmas cookie baking. I must say I was disappointed, and feel that the vanilla I purchase at Sam's Club is just as good or perhaps better. This didn't add anything extra to any of my baked goods, but didn't hurt them either. I would say it's just another vanilla, but way overpriced. I won't be buying it again.

When you want you baking/cooking to have that beautiful vanilla taste, this is your best choice. I buy the large bottle as a good price break and share with my family. Everyone raves about my holiday baking and this is the secret.

I can see why most cooks recommend this brand of vanilla. It is very potent and seductive with it's aroma. It really adds a lot to the flavor of baking and cooking items. The size is large, but it lasts a long time and is convenient to use.

Word of caution - this is very, very sharp, so be careful if kiddies are going to use it. It stays nice and sharp. I've had mine about a year or two and it's never been sharpened. It does a nice job on personal-size pizzas in the oven or microwave. Highly recommend it!

... Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the pizza... Even though I very clearly read that this is a 4-inch pizza wheel, I really did not expect it to be this... big... This is one hefty pizza cutter. I like to make pizza with lots of veggie toppings, and it slices right through every time. Whether or not you have to go back and forth seems to be dependent upon how crunchy you like the bottom of the crust. A softer crust slices easily with one pass. A crunchy bottom crust requires a bit more work, but not enough to give this a negative rating. What I really like about the cutter is the feel in the hand, and the easy cleanup. (Spray the cutter lightly with no-stick spray before using, and cheese, etc. rinses right off.) The bracket that holds the wheel in place is far enough away from the wheel that cheese and bits of topping do not get stuck between the bracket and the wheel. (I had that problem with my previous pizza cutter, and had to literally soak it in water after every use, and push the debris out with a toothpick. What a pain...not to mention the yuck factor in not being able to really get it clean.) I hand wash and dry the cutter after every use, which I hope will avoid the rust issue that other reviewers mentioned. I am very pleased with this purchase.

You can not buy a better pizza cutter at this price. This pizza cutter is well made. Oxo always uses high quality materials in the products they make. The handle fits my hand perfectly. I have used this pizza cutter on a number of thick crust pizzas. It sliced all of them with ease. I highly recommend this pizza cutter.

I don't know what I expected but this pizza wheel is large! But it is also the best we've owned in the past 25 years. It rolls easily and with the sharpness of the wheels blade it'll cut through just about any kind of pizza you want it to. The grip (like on all of the OXO Good Grip items) is excellent, and it is made to last. High quality construction, great blade, and grate grip, and great price. What else can I say. I would recommend it to anyone.

This is THE BEST pizza cutter I have ever used (and we eat homemade pizza at least twice a week). It is much easier to use than just about every other pizza cutter out there due to the large wheel and plastic bushing in the hub. The cutter rolls very, very smoothly, and cuts through toppings, like pepperoni, without sliding them around into gooey mounds of cheese. The blade on mine is all stainless steel, thus no rust, and I've had mine for 2 years now. For best results, you should hold this cutter very upright and apply enough down force. I cut my pizzas into 8 slices in a couple of seconds, and never have to retrace my cuts, unless I got lazy and didn't push down hard enough.

Best vanilla I've ever found. Wegman's used to carry it but stopped, so I searched online. It is worth it.

This is my favorite vanilla. I haven't tried any other brand of real vanilla, though. i'm only comparing this to anything I've bought at the grocery store. Real vanilla makes all the difference in your baking & cooking. Chocolate chip cookies went from ok to phenomenal. Whipped cream made from real cream, sugar & real vanilla....absolutely divine. You won't regret it!

It would be difficult to find a better pure extract than this Nielsen-Massey offering. Like several other reviewers here, I use a lot of this product in baking. Over the years I have used quite a number of different brands, some out of necessity, and some out of curiosity. I have yet to find a better one than this! I do not want to sound like a snob, but the few dollars extra you pay for the real thing is worth it. I cringe when I see the imitation vanilla on the shelves of grocery stores, as I know how much difference the flavor of the final product will be when using it. Quite often, even with the better grocery store brands, you get a strange and rather unpleasant after taste. Not so with this stuff! It should also be noted that the flavor here is extremely intense, so slightly smaller amounts are called for in some recipes. It always seems a shame to me to got to all the trouble of making a cake, or any dish for that matter, and not strive for perfection, giving it up for a relatively few saved cents. In addition to cooking needs, I have found that if you moisten the tip of your finger just slightly with this product, and rub just a small amount in a small area on the bulb of your bedside lamp, you get the most marvelous and sensual aroma...not overwhelming, but just slightly lingering. Wow! I really cannot see how you can go wrong here. The price is equivalent to what I have been paying locally and an 8 oz bottle will last quite some time with reasonable use.

This is a really great, quality vanilla. I've used it exclusively in my baking for a couple of years now. I'm surprised by the price though! I buy this exact bottle at a local "gourmet" market that usually overprices everything and it's $8, not $20. Yikes.

This is nice vanilla but the price is a bit shocking. I bought the exact same vanilla at Cost Plus for about $7.00 a few years ago. I would check with them first before buying here.

I returned other thermometers purchased at Wal-Mart because the temperature was very inaccurate only to find that these are also very innacurate. One if off by almost 2 degrees and the other is off by over 5 degrees. I have given up and will settle with these. I will just have to remember that they are off. They are cute and my kids like to chew on them.

I used to be an automotive adjuster for a major insurance company. I always see this soap in most of the mechanic shop and bodyshops. I bought a few of them to try at home. It is very effective especially if you are the handyman type who loves to tinker with cars, house projects or just love to dig your hands in the dirty stuff. Works fast it removing grease and oil from your hands and skin. The pumice really works wonders. May seem to be a bit expensive, but not for a specialty soap.

I am 64 years old and have used this soap all of my adult life and I recomend it to all mechanics like myself, for showering and washing hands.

What can I say? This soap has been around for a long time, without frills or stupid marketing hype. It has one function, to clean dirty hands. If you are, or know, a mechanic or workman, than you need this soap in your house. I bought 10 bars which should last me one or two years.

I've purchased Ginger Altoids in the past, but they are getting harder to find at normal retail outlets. Good thing Amazon is here. And at a very good price. Great ginger flavour, lots of zest, just like Ginger Altoids!

but as a remedy for an upset stomach or nausea. They're fantastic for that. If you don't suffer from digestive problems and/or you can't stand ginger, I wouldn't buy these. But if you do, I would HIGHLY recommend these.

LOVED THESE ALTOIDS...They are great especially after meals. If you have a sore throat or a cold; dissolve some altoids in hot water, add some honey and lemon juice to your taste......relax and sip slowly. You'll be glad you did :-)

They are good, but not for anyone that has a sensitive palate. Very strong, not recommended for any children! Good for the stomach.

I love these Altoids. They are the only ones i like. My wife likes them because when she has indigestion she take take one altoid and her indigestion is gone. Our daughter-in-law gets car sick. I susgested that she try some of the ginger altoids and she said that they worked GREAT! So i always keep some on hand.

This is my best source for buying these in bulk! I can Never find them in the stores anyway!

My brother-in-law is hard to shop for , but I picked a winner with this item. He loves licorice and strong kicks of flavor and this definitely does not fall short of expectation.

This is the best strong liquorice I have ever had. I highly recommend it to any liquorice lovers out there. Ed Collins

These are my favorite Altoids, and they are so hard to find! They arrived perfectly fresh, and are still being enjoyed.

These liquorice flavored Altoids are so hard to find in retail stores. I was thrilled to find them on Amazon, and will reorder as soon as we get close to the end of the large supply we purchased. They are delicious mouth tinglers.

I have been looking for Altoid Cinnamon gum for at least a month. I thought I had found it and ordered a case from e-bay, only to find out it was the cinnamon mints! And now, I cannot even find the peppermint gum! Where did the Altoids gum go? Does anyone know where I can get it?

I'm totally addicted to cinnamon altoids. The taste is really strong, but I love it. Ginger is also another great flavor.

hard to find Altoids, easy purchase and order enough for great shipping. Gave this as a gift for that hard to buy person. Great long lasting taste.

I bought a case of "Altoid Cinnamon" from amazon.com It was for my sister's birthday present. She was really surprised and very happy. I got a great price for a case from amazon.com

Thanks for making it possible to purchase cinnamon flavored Altoids. Great price and prompt shipment.

Mrs May's 100 Percent Natural Trio Variety Natural Bars Variety Box We've been eating Mrs May's Natural Trio Bars for about 5 years. We've tried other bars which we've liked, but Mrs May's beats them hands down. Some other bars were too heavy or were not nearly as natural and we got tired of them. What's not to like? They provide a healthy snack when you need something small. We pack them for a trip and I always take them when I'm playing golf. Some of our friends and relatives started buying them after getting them from us. It's nice to know that you can get them at Amazon.com because you don't see them much at other stores that carry health or snack bars.

I enjoy this product very much and consider it a healthy food but the review is based upon the condition of the product when it arrived to my home. I ordered two boxes of these bars however the majority of the bars inside both boxes were cracked and broken apart.

These bars are delicious and as a vegan it is difficult for me to find energy bars that I can say that about. I understand other's concerns about the product being manufactured in China, but we have been mass consuming products from China for decades. I think their time would be better spent consdering the damage to our envoironment created by consuming animal products that are produced here in the US. Animal welfare and methane gas emissions in this country is less of a concern in general that nuts that come from China? I don't get it!!!!! Try these bars, they are amazing, you will not be disappointed!

I love the flavor of these bars. So good. But, they are really hard. They are made with nuts so I suppose I understand why they are hard, but after the first few bars, I found myself skipping these and reaching for other bars that were not as hard as these. Too bad because I really love the flavor. This 20 pack will last me a long, long time...

We like these Mrs. May's Trio Natural Bars. These are a little on the chewy, sticky side, so beware, if you have dental problems (chew carefully). Packaged in an almost indestructible cello package. The ingredients are as follows: Cashews, Almonds, Pistachios, Fruit (Cranberries or Strawberries or Blueberries or Tropical-Pineapple, Mango, Papaya), Sesame Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Dates, Raisins, Rice Malt, Natural Flavors, Cane Juice, Sea Salt. That's it! There are 20 bars in a 24 oz or 700 gram box. Each bar is 1.2 oz or 35 grams. The box says: vegan/no trans fat/no additives/no preservatives/no cholesterol/gluten free/diary free/wheat free/non-GMO/kosher and product of China (that worries me more than a little). Calories 170 each, 100 calories from fat, 12 grams total fat, 1.5 grams saturated fat, 0mg cholesterol, 45mg sodium, 14g total carbohydrate, 2g dietary fiber, 6g sugar, 5g protein, 2/4% calcium, 8% iron, 0% vitamins A & C. Yummy flavor, can taste the nuts and fruit, not too sweet for most people, certainly a lot less sweet than any other granola/snack/breakfast/protein type bar we've tried. Wish they were bigger, pretty small. Otherwise, very good bars. Nice having 5 bars of each flavor all in one box!

This was my first time using instant yeast, and I loved it. No need to activate the yeast, simply mix in with dry ingredients and it works every time. I have made pizza, pitas, and mexican sweet breads so far and I have no complaints. The yeast comes in an air tight pouch and I refrigerate it for longer use. It is quite a large amount for an average home. I am very happy with this product.

I agree that this is agreat product.But I got it at King Arthur flour co.for $5.99 per pound.

This is the only yeast I ever use. It is reliable and powerful. I store mine in the fridge so it will last as long as needed.

This yeast was very active. The bread came out smooth and fully expanded. It's beautiful, and the holes are small and uniform. I couldn't ask for better.

The product stores well, and has excellent performance. Easily added to the dry ingredients, no need to bloom.
