  1. Agree.
  2. Setting the utensil on the edge of a pot can be bad with the heat and all (melted handles, hot utensil, etc). I normally use a rest, but when you have more than one thing going at a time then you would need multiple rests - which would eat up a lot of counter/cook top real estate. Using a single rest isn't usually an option because then you can get cross-contamination. Those holders help out quite a bit.
  3. Agreed
  4. It serves little purpose - the spoon and handle are long enough that they won't fall in and while it holds the spoon in place, say if you were going to take a drink, it looks like an easy way to damage the glass.
  5. Would only work with very specific arm shapes with limited amount of padding, unless the inside edge is secured somehow. Either way it would probably move quite a bit.
  6. Better than a normal jack for soft or uneven surfaces - I have seen bags used for a similar purpose, although they were connected to well controlled air pumps and not an exhaust. Exhaust systems output a good amount of pressure (see: Mythbusters), so either the hose will blow off, the bag will blow out, or the back-pressure will cause car issues.
  7. Others here have pointed out that they do seem to keep the chips fresh, but the the opening is too small to be really useful.
  8. Using a knife isn't all that difficult, if it is, just get a mandolin slicer
  9. Definitely a fire hazard and the device would require a ridiculous amount of wall space.
  10. For large quantites or smaller people, yes, pouring can be difficult - especially if you are aiming for a smaller target. I have seen a few of these work pretty well, but quite a few suffer from some of the liquid bypassing the 'spout'
  11. The containers aren't very difficult to clean with a bottle brush and hot, soapy water. The real issue is the poor handling and execution these bottles provide, especially when compare to a piping bag.
