Customer Reviews of Proctor Silex 45802B Hot Pot, Blue
Customer Rating:   Summary: Not very safe! Comment: This hot pot was the only (!!!) kind of electric tea kettle available anywhere locally (checked WalMart, KMart, Big Lots, Hall's Hardware, and the grocery stores). What I strongly dislike about the pot is the fact that it doesn't switch off automatically once its content has reached the boiling point. It also doesn't have an off switch, so make sure you unplug it after every use! Another safety hazard is the lid: I have scalded myself several times because I hadn't put it on exactly right and hot steam was coming out of a small opening right where you put your thumb. It would be much better if this pot had a flip-top. I wish I had done some research and purchased a kettle online! Customer Rating: Summary: You get what you pay for =) Comment: This little blue pot boils water fast and is great for making tea or ramen noodles. It'd be nice if there was an off switch instead of having to unplug it but the product works well. The non-stick cover on the heating element that forms the middle of the base on the inside is easy to clean and the cup gauge on the inside is nice too. Customer Rating: Summary: Takes a beating Comment: I have been using this product several times a day- almost daily- for extended periods of time and it has worked like a champ. The only reasons I didn't give it five stars is because: 1. The spout tends to dribble down the side a bit when you go to pour it out - maybe it's just me, but I don't feel I should have to experiment in finding the "optimal pouring angle". 2. When I go to turn the tempurature down to the off position I will not only hear a click (no problem) but will see a flash through the water container. While I have been hit by house current before (and worse) I really don't consider it a hobby so this has me a little anxious. Maybe some other user can provide information to see if this is common with this unit or not. Customer Rating: Summary: Proctor Silex Hot Pot Comment: LOVE IT!!!!! I have this one in my office to make Ramen Noodles. I put the water in, It boils in under 2 minutes, I add noodles and presto, I have lunch in under 4 minutes. I've been using this for about a year now and it still looks and works like new. All I do is rinse it out as soon as I am finished eating. I can't imagine having anything that would be more convenient or reliable. Customer Rating: Summary: Pretty good Comment: quick boiling. the only thing I don't like is there is no auto turn-off function when it is boiling.

Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Dryer When shopping for a new clothes dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor that automatically shuts off the machine when your clothes are dry. Not only will this save energy, it will save wear and tear on your clothes caused by over-drying. Keep in mind that gas dryers are less expensive to operate than electric dryers. The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 25 cents in a gas dryer. Choosing Appliance -> Taps If you want a sink with large bowl dimensions to cope with big-pan washing-up, it is worth considering a tap with a pull-out or pull-down spray rinse. This gives you water anywhere you need it around the bowl area. Proctor Silex 45802B Hot Pot, Blue
Kitchen tips -> French fries When deep-frying french fries, do not overload the basket. Trying to cook too many at one time will result in greasy and soggy fries. |
