text: Review Content Excellent! This is the best jewelry cleaner that I have owned in a long time. I cleaned my jewelry when it arrived and was shocked to see how dirty the water was afterwards. It does an excellent job and I am very happy with my purchase! All of my jewelry is sparkling like new again and I no longer have to make a special trip to Tiffanys for them to clean my rings. I definitely recommend this item! Great Christmas gift I bought this for myself but it cleans so well I know all my girl friends will want one too! Sparkle I use this to clean all of my silver, and man do they come out sparkling. You just use regular water and its so easy to maintain. Popped the diamonds out of my ring This machine popped some small diamonds out of my wedding ring so I am returning it. Do not put your valuables in this. Better Than Manually Cleannig My jewelry tends to need frequent cleaning and polishing so I tried this jewelry cleaner. It is a bit bulkier than I expected so it takes up some dresser room but the color is black and looks sleek so it appears low profile. I put my gold wedding band and diamond ring in for a 90 minute cycle and it was a bit better. Then I tried the 180 minute cycle and it looked better than before. It was not impressively shiny as when cleaned professionally at the jewelers but for the price does a decent job and I dont have to scrub and poke at it and is better for the setting. I tried some Calgon in it the 2nd cycle as well. We have very hard water here, (also, using distilled H20 in the chamber), and that improved results too. The price is great and it is a gentle easy way to clean your soiled jewelry. Note that the cleaner is not recommended for any soft stones or pearls. If you require perfection, I would recommend a more comprehensive jewelry cleaner. A lot better than the last one I had I put ll my jewekry in it, and just let oit work on its own. My friend Carol came over & we put hers in too...We had a jewelry cleaning party ! Good Product Good product but would be better if you could power it down without unplugging it. wifes present all I can say is she likes it, I got brownie points, and you know what that means... Keeps my ring sparkling I clean my ring about once a week and it does a good job of keeping it sparkly and beautiful! Jewlery Cleaner I bought this ultrasonic cleaner for my wife. She needed her jewlery cleaned more frequantly than I could bring her ring in to get it done. Also, the cost of getting her ring cleaned was just outragous. This product does a very good job. It is easy to use. It is lightweight and fits nicely under the bathroom sink. We like that we can use our softened tap water in it, no chemicals. (I wouldnt use untreated tap water, as it would calcify.) It may not clean quite as good as the jewlery store but it does a pretty good job, and is worth the purchase. I recomend this product. Excellent Product I purchased this jewelry cleaner to replace one that, though similarly priced, only lasted a short time. This one is very effective and gentle on the jewelry. Go ahead and buy the cleaner with it, because water only doesnt work that well. Professional Results from home! Great cleaner, I keep mine on the vanity of my bathroom. Juts put my rings in the morning, ,while in the shower, and when I am ready to leave for the day, so are my rings. Just make sure not to use any ammonia based cleaners, as this can damage the stainless steel tank. Dont put pearls or other soft stones in the unit, because the ultrasonic waves can crack, or damage the stones. Jewelry Cleaner does its job! Recommend you use it near a sink where you can add water. But keep all safety rules since it is electric. Must read enclosed instruction book first before use, due to different types of jewelry. Nice Little Machine Id read good reviews on this jewelry cleaner from several people in the gem industry. Works really well and much easier and less worrisome than cleaning in a sink. Jewelry shines! This gets all the build up off of my diamonds and gold jewelry. My sterling silver items shine. Very easy to use. I use tap water with a few drops of liquid soap. Cleans well Ive only used this once.. I didnt have the cleanser recommended but used distilled water & a small amount of Dawn .. It cleaned my gold & silver perfectly .. There was a glob of lotions, oils & dirt in the container after the long cycle .. My jewelry sparkled..happy so far.. Great item fast shipping 5 stars Works amazing Save your money Wish I could have given 0 stars. Bought this for my wife and the product does not work. It cleaned her silver jewelry poorly, all needed to be redone manually...what is the point? Very disappointed, save your money. We will be returning. Satisfied with product. This was a gift. It arrived on time. The service is thus satisfactory. I would buy this product again Restored my wedding and engagement rings back to their original shine in one cycle after 3 years of not being cleaned! I love that you have the option to use special cleaner or just water and a tiny bit of dawn detergent. \Cleans like a pro I got into gold jewelry and wear it constantly. Of course, it gets pretty dirty. This cleaner does the trick with just plain water. No expensive solutions to buy. I also like that I can clean my watch bands. Jewelry Cleaner Looks cool, havent tried it out yet to test how well it works. great product I had to purchase another jewelry cleaner from Sharper image because, the one I had before this one stopped working after around 15 years. So, I would definitely purchase another one from this company. It keeps your jewelry sparkling. Makes my jewelry sparkle! I needed something to clean my necklaces, rings, and watchbands....I have found a great product and now have sparkling jewelry in no time at all! I use a few drops of dish soap added to the water and PRESTO....my chains look new! My dull earrings(sometimes caked with hair spray)are clean and shiny! I am one happy gal! I highly recommend this jewelry cleaner It did a great job, and can be used on many types of jewelry instead of others I checked that require seperate machines for different types of jewelry. Works Surprisingly Well! This little cleaner worked surprisingly well! Not only is it VERY easy to use, but it doesnt even require any special cleaning solutions. My wife and I cleaned 3 rings using just tap water and they came out great! One of the rings had not been cleaned in over 10 years and this cleaner removed a ton of gunk that had been gathering. Im very pleased with the results and look forward to future uses. Jewelrycleaner Weekly jewelry cleaning. Great Cleaner Cleaner performs as advertised. Does a nice job a in approx five minutes. Good investment if you like clean jewelry. A great home jewelry cleaner This unit was easy to set up, had simple instructions and worked as promised. Sparkling like new! Needed a way to clean my jewelry without having to make the time to take it to the jeweler. Works great! Necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings all look like new! Diamonds sparkle I love the fact that I can clean my jewelry while getting ready to leave home for the day. Being able to clean my watch band after working in my garden is an added plus. Professional Cleaning Made Simple A great gift for jewelry enthusiasts. GREAT!! Use for eyeglasses w/plain water Would suggest! Ive cleaned watches and rings with this and it really works well! I left my ring in for a few extra cycles and it got shinier every time. I couldnt believe the grime that came off my husbands watches! Im glad I bought this! It works great. I clean my rings every morning as I am getting dressed. They sparkle like new. I never realized how dull the diamonds had gotten till I started cleaning them every morning. I love this product. Cleans Jewelry in no Time I purchased the 12 pack of cleaning solution as well. My silver and gold sparkling like new. Over promise? I expected jewelry to be sparkling clean following use. In many cases I couldnt tell the difference between before and after. Didnt clean under rings at all. Write-up for this product over promises results. Keeps my bling clean! I have a large amount of jewelry and I bought this because I hate to take it to the jewelry store to clean it. This gets it clean quickly and easily! I believe it works better then the liquid dunk and rinse. This is a better cleaner then just liquid one. Worth the money! I bought this after reading reviews, and being tired of my dull looking engagement and wedding rings. No amount of scrubbing made them look like when I first received them. But this device made them look like new! And even more than that, I love how I can now see out of my glasses clearly! I have only had the ultra sonic cleaner for a week, but I have used it every day, and expect that will continue! exactly as advertised love the fact that it does a fantastic job of cleaning diamond ring(with hard to reach crevices),dentures with like crevices and eyeglasse with just water. Fantastic. Will try a little dish detergent next time to see if it makes a difference. Shiny indeed Really does work. Had about 4 or 5 pieces of jewerly (rings, watches, earings) that I put in the machine,and they had a nice shine to them afterwards. It was a good product I use it for alot of different things not only jewelry and it cleans it very efficiently. Great product. Jewelry really shines. We use it frequently. It really cleans the jewelry and you can see the dirt that it removed. My jewelry sparkles like brand new! At first I as hesitant to put my wedding ring into the jewelry cleaner but Im glad that I did. My ring sparkles like brand new or like when I bring it home from a cleaning at the jewelers. I also put all my sterling silver in and it removed all the tarnish. This really saved me time because I could put all my sterling, diamonds, gold etc. into the cleaner at the same time. This is a great product! Great Home Jewelry Cleaner Cleaned my jewelry fast. Looks like it is brand new. No, just no I read a lot of the reviews. I should have listened to the one about it knocking diamonds out. It took two out of my ring. I am so very sad. One was kind of a small bezel set and the other was just a small accent diamond. I also was not impressed with how clean things were. It didnt do a great job. In my opinion there are better gentler ways to clean your jewelry. Its probably OK for jewelry without stones or if you have a large multi-prong setting but, do you really want to risk it? I cannot in good conscience recommend this. Makes my jewels sparkle I am glad that my husband bought this product for me. I work in the restaurant business so my jewelry needs to be cleaned often as my hands are often in cleaners and sanitizers. I am also a complete accessory addict, so I always have jewelry that needs to be cleaned. It does a pretty good job, my diamonds definitely sparkle: I think it is a great cleaner, however, you still need access to a steam cleaner to take it that extra mile. THE BOMB! ! ! I love my jewelry so Im constantly cleaning what Ive worn and this is the best U/S cleaner Ive ever used. This is the second one Ive had, the first lasted for years! Worth Every Penny! Cleans all our jewelry . Looks like new. Quick & Easy I enjoy having a quick way to have my engagement ring sparkle Effective jewelry cleaner I have gem stone, and diamond pieces that I wear often. I also wear a lot of sunscreen, which inevitably rubs off on my jewelry. This jewelry cleaner is very easy to use, and brings the sparkle back to my jewels! Great little cleaner Bought to replace gemoro jewelry cleaner we bought from our jeweler. This one does a good job. Ultrasonic jewelry cleaner Cleaned my gold necklaces and rings and did a great job on wifes diamonds. On my daughters silver Tiffany necklace it did take two cleanings and probably could of ran in through again. All in all it did a great job and I would recommend it for home use to keep your jewelry looking great! I did use the optional cleaning packets that were recommended. Very happy with my purchase!! Now Im using it. This was a gift for my wife but after seeing how clean her jewerly came out, I started using it. Her Pandora bracelet came out looking better than new. I have used it seven times since Christmas. ultrasonic jewelry cleaner I love this purchase. I tried one ring to start with and was so happy I ended up doing all of my fine jewelry. I added one or two drops of Dawn and it worked like a charm. Love the design and function The function is easy to operate and I love the design of the machine. It is compact and modern. It does a nice job on jewelry. Works great My diamond engagement ring came out looking better than new! Jewelry Cleaner Does the Job Product works well but needs an additional power washer detergent supply in order to work the best. Wish I had known that when I ordered the jewelry cleaner. Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner The jewelry cleaner was very easy to use and worked pretty good. I had a few pieces of jewelry that I had to run through the cleaning process a couple of times. Still pleased with the results. This really works! I have only used this appliance once since I bought it in early January, 2013, but so far I think it does a really good job of cleaning and shining gold, diamonds and silver jewelry. Jewelry shines with no effort My jewelry gets filmy or just picks up dirt from normal use. My rings are quickly cleaned with no effort in minutes. Love it even more than I expected!! This little thing shined up all my jewelry, even costume stuff. I loaned it to a friend and she is amazed. I found that just dish soap did a fine job, jewelry cleaner is not necessary. Works exactly as advertised. Jewelry sparkles. Used to clean my glasses also. Excellent Results!! Jewelry comes out looking like new. A couple drops of Dawn and hot water to start with gets the job done! Excited to have sparkles Excited to put my jewels in while getting ready for an evening/day out... When Im ready, so will my jewels! Great cleaner Very impressed! Was exactly what I was looking for. We have it on the counter in our bathroom so its convenient and ready to use. Added a few drops of Dawn dish soap to the water and placed my husbands watch band (which had never been cleaned)in it. It was so clean (and the water so dirty)! Worked great on my jewelry. Also put my husbands glasses in it. He was pleased with the results of that also. Its very quick and not very loud. An old cleaner I had was so noisy. Would recommend this to anyone looking for an ultrasonic cleaner. Uoltra Sonic jewerly cleaner I bought one for myself and another for a gift to a friend Compact with Large Results! It cleans much better than the liquid dipping solutions, doesnt harm the jewelry and is a great size. Easy and Effective Great for a gift. Works extremely well and leaves jewelry and other metal objects as shiny as when they were first purchased. Sometimes even shinier. Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner This product holds enough liquid for my purpose that I bought the cleaner for, and does the job well. This may sound strange but I use it for the making of Liposomo C. A potent Vitamin C. Definitely a winner! My wedding rings (that I rarely remove) had not been cleaned in over a year and this machine cleaned them up nicely. It took three 3-minute cycles to do this but that was to be expected for the initial cleaning. I have since done earrings, silver necklaces, and my wrist watch band and all came out clean and sparkling in one 3-minute cycle. I just used water with a drop or two of dish washing soap. I love this machine! Extremly pleased. Love the look on my vanity. SPARKLETASTIC Just fill with tap water and a few drops of dish soap, and let the cleaner work its magic! It only takes 3 minutes for the diamonds to sparkle and gold to shine as if professionally cleaned. Great deal and easy to use. Love my new ring cleaner!! Ive had my jewelry cleaner for about a week and I really like it! Awesome jewelry cleaner!! I love this machine. I use it most mornings to clean my engagement ring while Im getting ready for the day. Very easy to use. I recommend the additional sparkle packets. My ring comes out clean and beautiful every time!! Good Choice My daughter has a lot of jewelry and, most important, lots of gold and silver chain necklaces that go with her pendants. It is difficult to clean chains efficiently but the ultrasonic does that superbly. Works Great! Works great for cleaning eyeglasses works great! so easy to use! Jewelry cleaner works wonders! So very pleased with this jewelry cleaner. Results are much better than I ever imagined. Makes jewelry sparkle like crazy. I would suggest using a jewelry cloth after cleaning in the machine for a little added extra shine. Fabulous for eye glasses too! Wife loves it. My wife received this as a Mothers Day gift and immediately told me she had a different one. She then tried this one and quickly told me she LOVES THIS ONE, much better than the former. Ultrasonic jewelry cleaner Easy, fill with water and I used jewelry cleaner solution packet and my gold came out shinny. Not for pearls, but gemstones and diamonds look great. Works well I bought the Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner so I could clean my wedding and engagement rings without having to take them to the jeweler (which I would never bother to do). It works very well. Although the instructions say you can use it with just regular water, I added just a little bit of dishsoap to the water and it seemed to help. The only drawback is you may have to repeat the cleaning process through several cycles if the jewelry is very dirty. My rings hadnt been cleaned in over a year and it took four cycles of 180 seconds each before I was happy with the results. The settings were clean and shiny and the stones sparkled. Overall, its a good product and very convenient. It also worked well on my diamond stud earrings. For small items, the instructions recommend putting them in a small tea infuser to avoid them getting stuck in the machine. I did that and it worked fine. Great product Great for ring cleaning Did an amazing job cleaning my jewelry I had jewelry I hadnt worn in a while, due to the fact that it needed to be cleaned. The ultrasonic jewelry cleaned everything and Im wearing some of these favorite items again. Does what its supposed to very easily! I received this as a gift and I love it! I have a complex wedding ring that is hard to clean on its own because of the small areas and this machine does the job of getting the dirt in the hard to reach places. My ring is platinum with both large and small diamonds and I havent had any issues with cleaning it in this machine. I use a natural dish soap with just some filtered water and I let the machine do the work. Ive tried other rings as well and it works great on them. I have yet to try it with other things but from the reviews Ive read it sounds like it can tackle most things. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a simple jewelry cleaner that gets the job done! It really works! I purchased this to replace a decent older sharper image unit, and expected it to clean just as well. I clean the jewelry I wear each day, and always get compliments because my pieces sparkle. I was pleasantly surprised when my earrings, rings, etc., actually came out with more sparkle, and my gold watch band looks unbelievable. Wow! Nice surprise! I do add a bit of liquid detergent to some water, (and dont tell anyone...), I also add some ammonia, although the instructions say not to. A jeweler friend told me about this combo, and it honestly works the best. The only cons I see at this point are that the top doesnt pop up as it should when the knob is pressed ~ dont know if it is a flaw or just the way the units work, but it is a little difficult to pull the top up. Also, it is not easy to remove the basket to rinse the pieces of jewelry before placing out to dry; I think a little protruding plastic piece would be helpful. All in all, the unit cleans very well, and that is the bottom line! My wife loves it ! Just add water and a drop of liquid detergent and you are ready to go. My wife cleaned her rings and necklaces and was delighted with the result. I did order the GemOro Sparkle Pak cleaning solution for the next time she cleans her jewelry. Wife Very Happy with it.. So Im Great! Wife has plenty of jewelry. So i got it for her as a suprise birthday gift. She was so excited about it, and said it was the perfect gift. Gave it to her that moorning by lunch she said she had cleaned everything she had and had to change the fluid out in it. She loves it. and so do i =) Works Great Works as advertised online. The rings we cleaned came out looking like new! Ultrasonic jewerly cleaner I keep it on my counter & clean my jewelry everyday Cleaner Brighter Jewlery My husband and I gave this to one another as an anniversary present. We particularly find the watch holder a great addition. I would buy this product again Easy to clean and its the right size for my counter. Jewlrey cleaner Love it!! Cleans jewlrey great I own one. Love it!! Bought for gift. Cleans jewelry just like they do at a jewelry store. Great product The machine really cleaned my rings beautifully! great gift Bought this for my mom for a gift and she loves it! Does the job. It is making all of my jewelry shine. I got the cleaning packs and bought one for my mother in law as well. I hope she loves it. We have used it a bunch. My wedding ring needed a couple rounds at 480 seconds but its defiantly worth it. Works on silver too which surprised me. Love it! Love this product to keep my jewelry - both costume and the real stuff - sparkling! Sweet Jewelry Cleaner This product is great !! No more going to mall for cleanings . My wife just loves it !! Thank you Sharper Image. Its for real. Diamond ring sparkles. It works fine. Looks good, works great. Great little cleaner I purchased this cleaner as a Christmas gift. My wife used it and loved it. It did a very good job on cleaning her jewelry and was easy to use. It is the next best thing to having a professional clean her jewelry. Ultrasonic jewerly cleaner I* have it on my counter ready to use. I clean my jewelry everyday when I take it off so no oils will stay on them Excellent Ultrasonci Jewelery Cleaner Excellent for cleaning delicate jewelery! Works Well. Works as promised. Quiet operation. chrismas present the product is a great price and was a great present for my mother come chrismas morning.what i liked about the design is that you dont need any special jewlery cleaning solution.you can use water to run the machine. I like it The jewelry cleaner was easy to setup and use. It did what it said it would do. Fantastically clean jewelry!!! I love my jewelry to look like new Jewlery Cleaner Good product that works. good value easy to use. my fiances ring comes out sparkly every time. much better than the dish-detergent or toothpaste methods... Great product Easy to use my wife loves it quality is great but there comes the problem..how to use the product..instructions seem to be incomplete and trying on how to use on our own seem to be exaspirating. Convienent and quick. This is great when you want to clean a lot of jewelry at once and you love to have your diamonds sparkle. Gets the Job Done I expected it to come with soome jewlery cleaner solution. It didnt - had to shop a cop jewlery stores to find the solution that works. Easy to use Overall, this is worth the purchase. Very easy to use. Cleans well. Compatible with any liquid cleaner. HOPE THIS ONE LASTS A LONG TIME TOOK A BIT OF TIME TO HEAT UP, HAD TO RUN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE ITEM SPARKLED, LIKE THE SIZE AND THINK IT WILL FILL MY NEEDS. Cleans above expectations! Highly recommend. I will purchase another one for my daughter! This product made a perfect gift For the women with lots of stuff Great product I purchased this jewelry cleaner for my wife for her birthday. She has had nothing but good things to say about it. She had many pieces of sterling jewelry that she was going to get rid of, but thought to try the cleaner to see what would happen. She couldnt believe how clean the jewelry was after just one use. Said it looked brand new. Now she is likely going to buy one for her sister. Not bad for the price To clean my wedding ring. Jewelry Cleaner This product was very useful! My engagement and wedding rings have micropave diamonds. The cleaner definitely made my ring shiny and clean, but it did cause one of the stones to fall out. Luckily, my jeweler replaces them for free. I also used it to clean my earrings that I bought in India. It did help clean the outside very nicely, but there was still some gunk on the inside of the post as well as behind the stone. Loved It? Great especially for engagement rings and diamond wedding bands - make everything sparkle! Its simple to use and takes very little time. It just works. I use this to clean my wedding ring, eye-glasses, watch, etc. I think this is a great product for easy maintenance/cleaning of jewelry and eye-glasses. I havent found any problems with the unit, as yet. What would make the thing better would be perhaps to expand the capacity of the unit such that the user can clean a couple of items at the same time. Its a great product. Its our second from Sharper Image. N/A Ultra convenient cleaner Does a thorough job of cleaning jewelry. Great Jewelry Cleaner....Love it! It makes cleaning your jewelry quick and easy and leaves your bling with sparkle. Fell apart after 3 weeks The ultrasonic vibration seems to work. The lid and its hinges fell apart after only a few weeks of use. Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner My wifer uses it to clean her jewelry and it works pretty good. Definitely gets it shiny but sometimes has a hard time getting in crevices if you have small openings in your ring. Overall pretty good though. Works great I bought it for my wife. She keeps her jewelry clean. She put her clean rings in it and you could actually see the dirt coming off of them. Makes a big difference I replaced a smaller sonic jewelry cleaner with this larger size. I was having trouble fitting my bracelets into the tank. This one is an elongated shape sized big enough to fit a pair of eyeglasses which, by the way, come out amazingly clean. All of my good jewelry fits easily into the tank. I also like the choices of time that you can run the cycle. Some items dont need to be cleaned as long as others. The latching lid keeps my cleaning liquid from evaporating. All in all, a very useful unit. Diamonds sparkled! I bought the product as a Christmas gift for my wife, she loved it. The diamonds definitely sparkled, its a great small gift to clean jewelry. The only problem I had was one or two of the packets of the cleaner opened up in the mail and got on the box of the cleaning product. Other than that, the actual product itself worked great! another quality product from Sharper Ima Very useful for both my wife and I. Wife was happy with Valentines gift. Wife will use it. Shes happy; Im happy. My sparkling review Used a little jewelry cleaner in water and everything came out sparkling. It even removed tarnish from silver. A small and very efficient jewelry cleaner. This is a small and very efficient jewelry cleaner and I am very pleasantly surprised at the wonderful job that it does. I have only had this item a few days and have cleaned a few rings and a few pairs of earrings and everything comes out sparkling and clean! I love it and its definitely worth the price. i would buy this product again as gift gave as a gift to daughter-inlaw and she saya she loves it Excellent product. My wife uses this product to clean all of her jewelry. Nice Results This is my first experience with an ultrasonic cleaner and it made my gold, silver, and diamonds sparkle. The downside is that there is not enough information about the types of gemstones suitable for cleaning. As a result, I now have a very dull stone in a smoky quartz ring. For that reason, I gave 3 stars. Use caution. Glad I waited to get this great product. I have been hand cleaning my jewelry for 36 years, and when my husband gave me a beautiful necklace for our anniversary this year I knew I could not, and did not, want to clean my jewelry like I have been doing. I decided to wait till Valentines Day to ask for a real jewelry cleaner. All he asked of me was to find the one I wanted and to make sure it was a good one. This is it! After spending a week reading and looking in stores and on-line, I decided The Sharper Images was the best. We have bought many things from The Sharper Image over the years and have never been disappointed. Love this, but be careful! After years of wanting one, I finally purchased this jewelry cleaner and it works magic! Ive cleaned all my good jewelry that could handle the ultrasonic cleaning method, and it all looked new. The thing that really made me say wow is the fact that I can clean my glasses in this, and I dont end up with smudges or residue. Its so nice to see clearly! Having said that, I assume this is user error, but still, others shoudl be aware to not make the same mistake. I used it several times on my engagment rings, and 2 wedding bands that wrap the engagement ring. These 2 wedding bands have very small diamonds and apparently the vibration of the ultrasonic cleaner was strong enough to unsettle 2 of the diamonds out of the band setting (one in each band). Thankfully my smart husband threw a flashlight into the basin and was able to retrieve them, however I dont know what it will cost for them to be reset. In other words, enjoy the sparkly but dont over do it! Im still buying one for my mother for Christmas. pretty cool It looks super cool. Streamline Cleaner I use this jewelry cleaner several times a week. I do everything with my rings on so they need frequent cleaning. We got it because you could use it without a special cleaner. It did not work as well as I thought it should without the cleaner. We will be ordering the cleaner to see if it does a better job. Nice design- doesnt take up too much counter space. Great Jewelry Cleaner This cleaner is easy to use, and does a wonderful job degreasing and cleaning my jewelry. I recommend this product to everyone! Ultra Sonic Jewerly Cleaner I had a older one before, but this one out shines the jewelry better Surprise, surprise.....It works well !! I take all of my jewelry items and clean them, even the items I have not worn for a long time. My jewelry is kept in a safe, wrapped in cloths, so it is well protected, my rings and bracelets are worn often, so they need cleaning about once every month, Ihad two other cleaaners, one did not work well, and the other was big and clumsy to use...both required special fluids..this new one does not. Works As Advertised Works well on items as specified. Product manual warns against use with soft or porous jewelry such as pearls, opals, etc. Excellent purchase I bought this jewelry cleaner to replace a similarly priced item that only worked for a few months. I am very pleased with this purchase and have purchased one as a Christmas gift, too. I suggest ordering the cleaner while you are at it, because water only certainly didnt work for me. I would buy this again I purchased this for a wedding shower gift, and the bride to be loved it. Going buy her comments on how well it cleans, I ordered two more for my two daughters as a Christmas present. I personaly have not used it, but the bride which works with me, her ring sparkels like new everyday. Excellent cleaner This machine gets my wedding ring as sparkling as the jeweler does. My costume jewelry comes out great too. I love it and would definitely recommend it. Compact and Effective I bought this jewelry cleaner after I tried to have the local jewelry store clean some of my necklaces. The store wanted to charge me $25 per necklace. I researched home jewelry cleaners and this one always rated in the top two. I now know why. It is extremely easy to use and very effective. My necklaces are clean. As wonderful as everyone else says it is! There are a long list of stones that will be ruined by this ultrasonic cleaning machine, which is bad for me because I have lots of silver and gold jewelry with stones. Worked pretty well It worked fairly well, but you really need the cleaning solution (which I didnt know about before ordering) in order to make it most effective. Better than expected! I never expected these results! My rings have NEVER LOOKED BETTER! The difference is amazing! People notice my diamond jewelry sparkling more, without me even saying a word. My jewelry is simply eye catching. This is an amazing product. Im glad I cared enough about my jewelry to get the best. I truly feel this product keeps my jewelry in top condition! Great little tool... This product was recommended to me, and I was glad I purchased it. With just a little solution, my jewelry sparkles again. Great on diamonds and metals... just dont use it on pearls or other soft stones. Will give as a gift.... Was amazed at its effectiveness first time I used it! Works like magic You simply cannot go wrong buying this cleaner. For the price it is a great value and it really does work, not a gimmick! A Nice Resource One pin with tarnish showing had to be supplemented with polish, but several pairs of earrings and a couple necklaces needed no additional touch up. How nice to have them shiny again. as expected used for jewelry cleaning cleaner Works well Everything I expected and more The product is used at home.My wife has enormous amounts of necklaces, rings, earrings, etc. She is a 2nd year college student who will soon be starting her own daycare as Administrator and Supervisor and appearance says a lot about your business and character. She loves the product, the ease of using it and the lasting results.I bought it for her as birthday gift for her 39th Birthday. A solid gift for her Gave this as a Christms gift for my wife. She has used it on several pieces of jewelry and seems pleased with the results

Throughout most of Missouri, the inch-long northern spring peeper is an audible harbinger of spring. During the breeding season, which lasts from early March to mid May, male peepers congregate near ditches and ponds and call repetitively with a high-pitched "peep." Northern spring peepers remain hidden during the day and become active at dusk.

Brutal Legend
Brutal Legend is an utterly unique game, one that features the astonishing and imaginative environments that Double Fine and head honcho Tim Schaefer have become known for
- Undoubtedly your first view of Mount Rockmore after unlocking every effigy, epic, Ozzy Osbourne as the Guardian of Metal is hands down one of the coolest combinations since Fatboy Slim and Christopher Walken
- The game isn't without its flaws, the clunky combat system is sure to get on some players' nerves
Bottom Line
Buy it. It's epic, it's innovative, and it's a total blast from beginning to end.
Price$ 109.95 (AUD)
While Tim Schafer's games have earned him a ton of cred with critics and diehard fans, it hasn't always translated into mainstream commerical success (seriously, why didn't you guys buy Psychonauts? It was freaking awesome and should have sold a bajillion copies!). But we're pretty sure Brutal Legend will get him the financial success, along with the usual critical praise, that he richly deserves because even though it suffers from a lacklustre presentation and some quirky bugs, it's still a vintage Schafer game: unique, hilarious and a whole lot of fun to play.
Brutal Legend is an utterly unique game, one that features the astonishing and imaginative environments that Double Fine and head honcho Tim Schaefer have become known for. Wonderfully zany wildlife inhabits the game's inspired cliffs and canyons, with delightfully twisted architecture assembled across its rolling landscape. Boasting stellar art direction and an expertly crafted world, Brutal Legend is, without a doubt, one of the most innovative titles I've ever played. If I could judge this game based solely on the big goofy smile painted across my face in reaction to its wit and pioneering appeal, it would be an easy 5 out of 5, but there's quite a bit more to this game than its inherent charm. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
Backstage Pass
Brutal Legend is the story of roadie extraordinaire Eddie Riggs, a jaded stagehand with ninja-esque abilities and indomitable musical prowess. After a lifetime of tuning guitars and building sets for the forefathers of rock, Eddie is now forced to babysit obnoxious hipster imposters as they butcher the essence of the heavy metal music he loves so much. Cue an unfortunate onstage mishap that awakens the fire demon dwelling in Eddie's belt buckle (go figure), and the hard-rocking roadie soon finds himself transported to a mystical world of magic, mayhem and metal. Stranded in a hellishly war-torn (yet undisputedly cool) landscape, Eddie joins forces with Lars Halford and his rag-tag gang of head-banging freedom fighters as they rise up in rebellion against the sinister Emperor Doviculus and his glam rocker General Lionwhyte. To sum it up, Brutal Legend doesn't lack heart or imagination.
We Are the Road Crew
With a focus on open-world exploration, plenty of unique missions await Eddie as he treks across its face-melting facade, ranging from delivery missions-Transport booze from the Sacred Beer Tree-to outright destruction-help an inept cannonier blast Doviculus' minions to kingdom come. There's a great amount of variety in Eddie's antics, but one can't help but feel that you're occasionally doing the same thing over and over again, albeit under different pretenses. For instance, ambush and defense missions inevitably turn into mindless hack and slash escapades where you repetitively drive the Deuce (Eddie's souped up ride) from point A to point B. Thankfully, this redundancy is broken up quite nicely by the game's open world exploration which urges players to locate various creatures and relics to earn some interesting extras. Each mission completed or extra discovered grants Eddie a number of Fire Tributes, which allows the player to visit the Guardian of Metal in the mystical Motor Forge, where they can upgrade their arsenal of attacks and add any number of modifications to their trusty car. The amount of customisations is great, really urging players to immerse themselves in Eddie's richly detailed world.
The game's core missions revolve around Eddie hacking and slashing everything in sight early on, but soon delve into the more strategy oriented Stage Battles. This consists of building and manning an army as you feed off of the energy of your fans. It's certainly an interesting feature, specifically when implemented into Brutal Legend's massive multiplayer, but like so many aspects of the game, it just feels a bit clunky and unpolished. Character models awkwardly interact with each other throughout, and some unfortunate technical issues (slowdown, clipping and texture popping, chief among them) really took me out of the experience on occasion. Clunky handling on the Deuce's part made me dread occasional driving missions, and the overall lack of polish is enough to turn impatient players away from the game's overall immersion quite quickly. While many of these issues are indeed minor annoyances, I feel the need to mention them only because I firmly believe that, with some extra time (and a lack of legal battles) Brutal Legend could have been tweaked to perfection and celebrated as one of the most perfectly inspiring titles in decades. As it is, Double Fine's latest is certainly an entertaining and enjoyable title through and through, but its numerous bugs and quirks keep it from achieving legendary status.
Metal on Metal
One of the most important, and also one of the most grating aspects of Brutal Legend is its sound. With an amazing assortment of heavy metal prodigies populating the game's soundtrack, the game's range of head-banging tunes is an absolute joy. Using the Mouth of Metal found in the Deuce, players can form their own playlists featuring just about everything from Sabbath to Motorhead, and jump from song to song at their leisure. The game's voice acting is another high point, with Hollywood heavyweights such as Jack Black and Tim Curry joined by hard rocking legends such as Lemmy Kilmister and Ozzy Osbourne. Throw in Schafer's trademark wit for good measure and you've got a fantastic and unforgettable script performed by an all-star cast. So where does the "grating" part of this come in, you ask: with the game's unimpressive sound effects. In fact, in many instances, they're just plain bad. The 'thunks' of Eddie's axes and spurts of enemy blood come off like throwaway stock sound effects, most noticeably during the game's many cutscenes.
Visually, however, Brutal Legend is pretty impressive. It doesn't sport next-gen effects like you'd find in Uncharted 2, but the game's personality really comes through, which means much more than I can express. From the crackling lighting on Eddie's flying V to the gaudy amount of make-up caked onto General Lionwhyte's face, you feel like you're really in Brutal Legend's inventive and oftentimes insane world. Occasionally players are bound to come across some murky textures or a few of the previously mentioned graphical glitches, but the moment they find themselves flying through a swarm of Spark Plug Bugs after blazing over a cracked canyon via an off-road ramp, they're bound to look past these minor hiccups.
Encore! Encore!
Brutal Legend is a fun game with some very noticeable flaws and some less-than-stellar presentation, but in the end it's a memorable adventure I'd certainly recommend to any aspiring roadie. It comes pre-packaged with its fair share of issues, quirks and bugs, but all of the near-misses in the world can't take the fun out of this inspired adventure. While Brutal Legend may not sit atop heavy metal as its undisputed ruler, it's unquestionably a blast while it lasts and certainly deserving of an encore.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

My children gave me one of my pre-Father's Day gifts Thursday night: Homemade peanut butter cookies.
It doesn't get much better than that.
The children didn't have to give me a thing. They gave me the greatest gift when the three of them were born in 2005. If you're a parent – and you love your children – then you understand.
Ricky Beale is taking vacation this summer, but it won't be this month.
The longtime Evans High School fixture is one of the busiest people around.
Beale is in his first year coaching the softball team after longtime coach Colette Cassedy retired late last year. And he's still active as head coach of the school's baseball team.
Well the 2016 baseball season in Columbia County did not end with a state title. You can't win a championship every year, but 22 state crowns for the county since 1974 is not too shabby. Despite the fact that the season ended earlier than we all would have liked there were still plenty of performances worthy of recognition. So, here is a look at the top players of 2016 with the Columbia County News-Times All-County Baseball Team:
Alana Dyson is long removed from her high school days when she starred on the softball field.
Dyson graduated from Harlem in 2009 and then played in the outfield at Colgate. Dyson, who is planning to teach eighth grade this fall at Stallings Island Middle School, returned to her softball roots last week.
Dyson was one of several former high school softball players helping out in the second annual Columbia County All-Star camp at Patriots Park.
Augusta University to hold golf camp
Augusta University men's golf coach Jack O'Keefe and women's golf coach Caroline Hegg are holding their annual golf camp, June 13-16, at the J. Fleming Norvell Golf House behind Christenberry Fieldhouse. The camp is for boys and girls age 6 to 18.
When Jeff Williams was named the Lakeside High School boys head basketball coach this spring, it proved to him that hard work and perseverance do pay off.
Consider all he's had to go through to get here:
• He had to suspend his college education, returning to Augusta upon the death of his father.
• Frustrated with working a factory job, he cried several times going to his place of employment.
The Atlanta Braves are terrible this season. Is anyone surprised?
When the Braves starting planning for this rebuild a few years ago, I was OK with it. For those of us who suffered through the 1980s Atlanta teams, a few years of losing wasn't going to be a shock. For those of you born in the late 1980s or early 1990s, you're probably not used to this, though.
Here's a history lesson.
Former NBA star to hold annual camp
Garret Siler, a former All-American Augusta State center who played in the NBA with the Phoenix Suns, is holding his annual basketball camp, June 13-17, at Episcopal Day School. The camp runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
Cost is $180 per child and includes a t-shirt, lunch, snacks and more. For more information, call (706) 729-2449.
Panthers coaches, team to teach camp
Amid the hubbub of Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and the slain gorilla, you may have missed the most important thing this past week.
On Friday, National Doughnut Day was held.
If life was fair, donuts would have zero calories and foods like broccoli would have 2,000 calories per serving. And if life was fair, we wouldn't have National Doughnut Day – we'd have National Doughnut Month. But life isn't fair. So enjoy that Boston creme treat while you can.

Ambassador Depp?
In For No Good Reason, a kaleidoscopic doc about English artist Ralph Steadman - he of the hallucinogenic splatters that accompany many of Hunter S. Thompson's writings - movie star Johnny Depp shows up at Steadman's front door, at a big old house in the Kentish countryside. He watches as Steadman works, wonders, and reflects.
Tattooed, in tattered hat and jeans and fancy eyeglasses, and running his fingers across a five o'clock shadow of a mustache, Depp is no gratuitous celeb thrown into the mix to attract attention.
Well, he is a bit of that, perhaps, but he's legitimately a friend of Steadman, the 78-year-old inkmeister. And Charlie Paul, the English video and commercial director who labored long and hard over his portrait of Steadman, was happy to have Depp involved.

To the Editor.
—Dr Laumann and colleagues1 conclude that with respect to STDs "there is no evidence of a prophylactic role for circumcision and a slight tendency in the opposite direction." However, the authors did not consider one important aspect of the relationship, if any, between male circumcision and the risk of STDs including cervical cancer in their female partners. Hunter et al2 found that women whose partners are uncircumcised are at increased risk of STDs, including HIV. Human papillomavirus (HPV), which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer,3 also is sexually transmitted, although men are frequently asymptomatic. Several studies have shown that women whose sexual partners are uncircumcised are at increased risk of cervical cancer secondary to HPV.4,5 These findings deserve further examination and, if confirmed, would be important information for parents and physicians to consider in deciding whether to circumcise or recommend circumcision of

357 reviews | 4.7 out of 5
I've owned this for 2 yrs and am finally here writing a review.
Cooking aspect: Talk about making food to a new level. I've messed around cooking vegetables, chicken, steak, fish, shrimp, pizza, frozen dinners, and everything comes out with the MMMMMMM feeling.
Looks aspect: LARGE skillet so obviously, you need the space for it on your countertop. It's awesome to use serving other foods you've prepped up as well. Looks nice on the table and has a style about it that is very easy on the eyes. I've had as many complements for looks as for cooking with this.
Price aspect: $50 is maybe a little steep or just right for you, but if you think about the space you get from this it's almost buying 2 little electric ovens etc..plus more functions..
Overall: Never had an issue with this unit. Frying, baking, roasting, grilling, is really simple. Easy to cleanup afterwards is a HUGE Plus.
I have only use this skillet a couple times so far, but I absolutely love it. For the price, it is a very nice well-made quality and looks nice too if putting the skillet out on a table. Like others have said, the controls are very easy to use, it heats up quickly, is easy to put together as only the handles need a Philips screw driver and that's it. It is very easy to clean as others have stated as well, and I can't wait to cook a steak in it, or just make a full skillet of beef stroganoff for my daughter and grand kids. I have fried bacon and ham slices in it, mace grilled cheese, and cooked some chicken in it. Everything cooks up easily and tastes very good as well.
I am so glad I purchased this as I do not have a stove in my small studio apartment, and purchased a convection oven last year which has been fine, however, it does not fry up bacon as I like it, nor does it really brown a steak even with the broil setting like frying it does. I read in a brochure you can even make a cake in it, and I will be trying this soon. I know exactly what my daughter and her family are getting for Christmas, and what a nice gift this will make !!!
I was worried at first. Shopping over the internet. Placed my order and arrived before delivery date. Assembling was real easy, four phillip screws. Nice size skillet to cook more than enough food for a single individual. Recently received this item, so less than 14 days old. I have cooked hot dogs, hamburgers, rib steak, pork chops, and sliced ham. Easy cleaning both skillet and glass top cover. These were some of my concerns, no vent but if my eyes are not deceiving me the glass cover corners allow steam out. I am happy about that. I was concerned with the plastic handles and temperture control unit. I am using this skillet at 400 degrees no melting of plastic has ocurred. I am real happy about that. Unplugging device and turning down temperture unit knob after cooking is not hot. I thought it was to close to skillet that my fingers would burn but not in this case. Remember that this skillet is coated and use the correct spatulars and clean wisely, no metal spatulars or scouring pads. Have a hand kitchen mitten or towel as you cook to hold glass cover knob, might be a little too hot for some. This will also protect your wrist and forearm from the steam release as you pick up glass cover top. Hope I was helpful.
I live in an older mobile home which has old appliances such as an air conditioner that gave up the ghost, then the gas stove decided to give it up. Rather than mess with repairing the gas stove, I decided to go electric. First I bought a single electric unit which was used for a while until I bought a double unit. The pots and pans where too tipsy with that unit, so it finally hit me that I needed an electric skillet that would do all I needed to do. The 16" Presto electric skillet with a glass cover is a great unit. It fried some great chicken and then allowed me to make perfect milk gravy. The next meal was a roast with vegetables, which also produced a good gravy that was made a great stew. I have also fixed perfect pancakes with over easy eggs that don't stick and break open. There is much more that I haven't used the unit for, but I am sure it will produce good food. I am very happy with my new electric skillet. Lew.
Pretty thrilled with this skillet after its first use. Bought it after reading the reviews here saying how great it was--regardless of the price (which is a far better buy than some others I looked into). We've been making breakfast burritos in bulk and freezing them for easy snacks for the kids. Requires a lot of scrambled eggs . . . so I bought this hoping to cook up the eggs faster than I could in the biggest pan I had for the stove. Boy--were my expectations met.
I easily scrambled 36 eggs in this skillet at one time. Probably could have cooked more easily. Non-stick surface seemed to work really well and cleanup was pretty easy. Heated up fast and cooked evenly. I'll have to see what other uses I can find for it--but it's perfect for what I was looking to do. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for this kind of product. Half tempted to buy another just to have around.
I have tried several different electric skillet models, and this has been the best performer, hands-down. I wanted to use it for several different meals before giving an well-rounded review.
I've cooked (for a family of 4) breakfast and dinner, including eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, brats, burgers, stir-fry, chicken breasts.... quite a variety... and this skillet outperforms anything in it's class! Non-stick MEANS NON-stick! (a feature not every manufacturer can brag about) Clean-up is a breeze. Temperatures are spot-on. "hot spots" are completely negligible. Cooks beaUtifully!
The only reason I gave it 4-stars in the 'Features' category, is because there is a legitimate concern about the plastic feet. The plastic IS durable. Not cheap. But... it does tend to "slide easily" on a counter top, while cooking and moving food. **I read this in a previous review, and was prepared! It was not a bother to me, to pick up a little pack of tiny self-adhesive rubber bumpers, and stick them on the bottom of the feet as soon as it came out of the box. "Scoot-problem" solved! :)
If you dont mind a buck-fifty for little rubber bumpers, and taking 30 seconds to screw on the handles/feet, then this is DEFINITELY the large electric skillet solution you've been looking for. I LOVE IT!
After reviewing the reviews on electric skillets I decided to give this a try.
This skillet is the best ever it heats up fast and your food comes out good I am now using it almost everyday for cooking breakfast to dinner it large enough to cook two or three items at once. If you are debating on getting an electric skillet this is the one. This skillet is easy to clean I hand wash mine and only use wooden or plastic spoons with it Go ahead and give it a try.
I have only used it a few times, but it works great. Temperature control is easy to read and it heats evenly and accurately. It keeps food warm without drying it out. The glass cover is nice. I have used an electric skillet for years and it finally went. I looked at a lot of different brands and this stood out. The reviews were good. The price was excellent. I checked out a few other stores and found it was selling for a lot more money. I would highly recommend this product.
Makes a great wedding gift!
Great to use on those Hot and Humid days. No oven needed.
I purchase this skillet when I purchased my griddle from Presto. Because of it's versatility, I still have not opened the griddle. I can cook a complete breakfast for two, braise beef for a stew then add veggies, steam vegetable, cooked pasta and so much more with this skillet. It is my first choice when preparing meals. I don't have to turn on the stove, use multiple pots or any of the annoying steps necessary with cooking on the stove. Cleaning the skillet is as easy as 1-2-3 because of its non-stick surface. I look for new dishes to prepare in it so I can boast of a one pot meal to my friends.
We registered for an electric skillet for our wedding because our grandparents have them and we thought, "Why not?". After reading reviews on several electric skillets we settled on this one. Winner winner!!
This skillet is WONDERFUL! I could never get pancakes just right before, but this turns out perfect ones every time (no throwing out the first batch). And there's room to cook tons of bacon. Our dishwasher isn't big enough to put the skillet in there, but it's super easy to clean in the sink. We use this about once a week (and have had it for a year and a half) and it works just as well now as it did when we first got it. If you're looking for a great electric skillet that's not overpriced... congratulations, you found it!!!
Used this skillet about 8 times so far and I am very pleased. Heats up quick and the temp is right on. Tried and tested other models with digital thermometer and was disappointed. Has well sized handles, and non-stick is holding up well. The glass lid is great but here comes the only draw back, no vent. Would be nice but easy to live without.
I bought me one I love it
I bought my daughter one
We love it
It is a great cooking skillet ❤❤❤
This is the first electric skillet I've owned and it has not disappointed. I've already used it for stir fry, cornbread, and rice &I beans. Everything was perfect. It's easy to clean as well. Would recommend highly.
I washed it by hand, then seasoned it with canola oil - just enough to wipe on the inside with a paper towel, then wipe completely with a fresh paper towel.
I cooked sausage and egg breakfast burritos. The control was easy to use, the skillet heated evenly and was a breeze to clean up.
I just wiped the dried egg and sausage out with a paper towel - the non-stick surface really works. The instructions say it's dishwasher safe but I believe the surface will last better with hand washing, so that's what I did.
I ordered this 16" size thinking I would like this larger size because I cook a lot and for a lot of people - but I think I could have been fine with the smaller size.
Bottom line - I love the skillet and would recommend it.
Bought this after lusting after my brother's and daughter's. I avoid teflon-type coatings and had tried several alternatives. I can't seem to season a cast iron very well since I do not cook meat and my enamel coated cast iron was not only very heavy for my aging hands but like the calphalon pans, it burned things easily. My brother told me he never uses soap in this, just hot water and dries it out so that is what I am doing. For me it is the best thing since sliced bread for convenience without burning everything.
I bought mine two years ago to use at home. however, I ended up using it to cook fried potatoes and onions for my Masonic Lodges Fish Fry's. On numerious occasions I've used it to cook 60 to 80lbs of potatoes at each of several events. The Teflon finish remains in perfect condition. The only additional comment I have is after this extended use, I need to tighten the handle screws. Not a big deal considering it was running continously for four hours ! I too think the lid could use a vent.
I fried a large quantity of chicken pieces (15) and loved the way it fried. After breading the chicken, I placed it in small amount of oil that heated to 350 degrees, covered with lid and let the skillet do it's job. Turned chicken and finished cooking with lid on. The skillet is large and deep. Cooks very evenly. No mess with lid in place. I also love walmart.com since I can pick up at store without paying shipping. Prices can't be beat either.
Up until two years ago, I had been using an all aluminum Sunbeam electric skillet that finally gave out after 26, yes twenty six years of use.
In the past two years I have purchased and returned four brands of electric skillet all for the same reason. If the non-stick coating is compromised it will begin to peel rendering the skillet unfit for food preparation.
The PRESTO brand name was one that I had associated with a television brand mail-order scheme of appliances. Typically that sort of appliance is low quality mass produced, and quickly discontinued. I could not have been more wrong with my presumption.
After reading some very positive reviews, and exhausted four other top brands, I decided to give PRESTO a try.
Upon close inspection of my unit I could readily see that the non-stick coating method of application is not the standard factory spray on coating. The non-stick coating appears to be etched then sealed, however I am not an expert on the manufacturing process. The skillet heats somewhat unevenly across the base, but not to excess as others I have returned. The temperature regulator is well calibrated to the dial setting and does not spike to maintain a constant temperature. The combination side handles and support legs are ergonomically convenient and easy to attach from out of the box. The glass dome lid fits snug to the skillet and forms a seal when heating much as the lid for a sauce pan would.
Not so Positives:
An unvented glass lid will quickly condensate thusly obscuring any possible view of the food item in preparation. There are people that would not buy an electric skillet without a glass lid, so glass is the deal maker.
Lid venting may seem trivial, yet is an important feature for me. Placement of a wooden or plastic cooking utensil on one side of the covered skillet will provide venting, or setting the lid askew also works, but I personally do not like either option over a manual lid vent.
Overall, the PRESTO 16" skillet is good quality, low cost best of its class when compared to the mainstream of similar sized electric non-stick skillets.

Kevin Hart and Lebron James In the Same Movie?
Kevin Durant did it in a movie nobody really saw (Thunderstruck). Michael Jordan did it with cartoon characters (Space Jam). Shaquille O?Neal did it? poorly (Kazam).
Now LeBron James is about to be the latest NBA superstar to head to the big screen and star in a movie.
Well, we don?t know how big his role is because Kevin Hart ? the comedian from ?Think Like a Man? and soon to come out ?Ride Along,? who will co-star and write the movie ? is still working on the script rewrite.
But Deadline Hollywood has the details.
Kevin Hart is signing on to star with LeBron James in Ballers, the basketball comedy for Universal and Imagine Entertainment. Brian Grazer and Michael Rosenberg are producing.
Hart will first co-write the comedy along with his scripting teammates Joey Wells, Chris Spencer and Harry Ratchford. He?ll then star as a man who lives in the shadow of his NBA superstar brother (James), but gets a chance to prove himself when he and some pals attend a weekend fantasy basketball camp in Miami.

Phillip Phillips' Admirals concert among Monday's new show announcements
"American Idol" Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips is going to be seeing a lot of Milwaukee in the next few months.
Phillips, whose sweeping smash folk single "Home" became the most downloaded coronation song in "Idol" history, was already scheduled to open for Matchbox Twenty at the Riverside Theater Feb. 9, and now he's been booked to play a post Admirals game concert at the BMO Harris Bradley Center March 22. (That's good news for Phillips fans, since the Matchbox Twenty show is sold out.) »Read Full Article
Jewish Museum hosts provocative artwork of Soviet Union
Felix Lembersky's Jewish heritage and cultural background as a citizen of the Soviet Union during one of the most turbulent times of the modern age express themselves deeply in his artwork — indeed they are buttressed by this identity. The Jewish Museum is hosting a provocative, if at times inconsistent, survey of this artist's profoundly experienced life in paint.
The most ambitious work in the show is an interpretation of atrocity. "Execution: Babi Yar" (1952) depicts the 1941 massacre of 80,000 souls, 34,000 of whom were Jewish. Lembersky was one of the first visual artists to treat this subject matter. In doing so he used compositional devices from art history, specifically Gustave Courbet, as well as his knowledge of Soviet Social Realist traditions and his own gutsy paint application. »Read Full Article

Fond du Lac Ave. art project; flamenco guitar performance
Ties that bind
Fond du Lac Ave. ties Milwaukee's downtown to the northwest side of the city. And the In:Site temporary public art project to be on display along the avenue from 17th to 37th streets hopes to tie together the people of those neighborhoods and the rest of the city. "Art on Fond du Lac" features thought-provoking installations that put a spotlight on the area and the needs of the people who call it home. Included in the projects are a sculptural urban greenhouse by George Jones; a tribute to Mattiebelle Woods, the first lady of Milwaukee's black press; and a painting on the avenue itself (at its intersection with Locust St.) by Reggie Baylor. »Read Full Article
'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

Florida residents' luck doesn't seem to be getting better with two hurricanes behind them and another one approaching.
In spite of the bad luck, they have had people such as George Parr and Robyn Scott from the American Red Cross helping them, and at crucial moments, too.
The two Amarillo residents are workers for the Texas Panhandle Chapter of the American Red Cross and landed in the wake of destruction from Hurricane Charley a few days after it struck. They helped feed thousands of people each day.
Although Hurricane Frances created more chaos across Florida and Hurricane Ivan still frightens a scarred state, both Parr and Scott remain astonished at the destructive power of Hurricane Charley.
But they felt the chance to help others affected by a major disaster was a memorable opportunity and one to cherish.
"It is a very rewarding experience to help," said Scott, a staff worker with the American Red Cross.
The lessons Scott and Parr learned while working in Florida could help the Panhandle, just in case a similar disaster swept through the area, said Vince Hernandez, executive director for the Texas Panhandle Chapter of the American Red Cross.
"You don't learn about diaster relief until you are in one," he said. "(They) have come back with much more knowledge. There is nothing like going on a disaster relief (mission) to renew your faith in the American Red Cross."
After deploying into an area south of Orlando, the wrath of Charley seemed overwhelming, Parr said.
Snapped power lines were everywhere.
Huge broken oak trees littered the streets.
"It would take five of us to reach around them finger-tip to finger-tip," Parr said.
And weeks after the hurricane hit, people still didn't have any power, Parr said.
The devastation was so great it was nearly impossible to do their job.
"You couldn't get around there the first few days," Parr said.
Parr and Scott worked in an emergency response vehicle, serving about 10,000 meals to 3,000 people a day, Scott said.
It was a job they did for 10 hours a day, every day for three straight weeks.
The constant heat, the rain and humidity made the job difficult, but it was nothing like meeting people who had lost almost everything, Scott said.
"You saw their furniture, their belongings sitting outside their homes," Scott said. "They lost their households. It was pretty much everything they've worked for is gone."
In spite of the emotions of the watching people rebuild their lives from the ground up, the chance to help people in need was a call they had to answer.
It is a call Parr and Scott and the rest of the American Red Cross hope other people can hear.
"They are needing some people down there," Parr said. "I know it is going to be rewarding."
