I received on of these as a gag gift because I like caramel apples so much. It is one of my kitchen favorites. It is very easy to make caramel apples and I have used it for other things, too. As a gag I dipped Triscuits in dark chocolate for my sister's boyfriend. He loved them so much I had to dip 200 of them for their wedding reception. By using the microwave there is hardly any mess and the fork that comes with it is worth it's weight in gold. I hunted for these for months and when I found them I bought 4 so I could give them as gifts. Not as gag gifts anymore. When my friends ask me where I got it, I know what they will be getting for their birthday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Dipping Cake Balls, January 17, 2011

I'd been looking for an easier way to coat the cake balls that I make fairly frequently, and this was IT! For those of you who don't know what cake balls are, they're sort of like a homemade truffle that you can make with endless combinations. You bake any flavor of cake that you want and, while it's still warm, crumble it up in a big mixing bowl. Then you stir in a container of complementary frosting until it's all a gooey mess, and form it all into little truffle-sized balls. Cool them, even freeze them, so they'll be easier to dip. Then, and this is where this handy little device excels, you melt chocolate/peanut butter/cherry/butterscotch chips with a bit of shortening or melt bark in the microwave and use the little dipper to dip the balls. I used to use toothpicks or an egg separator, but this is perfect in that it isn't solid on the bottom and the coating can just drip through. I LOVE IT, and have given to several of my cake-ball-making friends, one of whom served a few hundred at her wedding and would have been miserable without this dipping set.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Apple Toy...on no no a computer...., June 12, 2010

Ok it's a toy for making carmaled apples. Or you can also use to melt carmels yours or commercial bought ones with wrappers removed...also you can find blocks of carmel also but anyway you melt the carmels in the microwave couldn't be more simple and you can use it as a dipper for pieces of dunk the whole apple into the carmel and then let set up on wax paper and stick with a stick and enjoy like an oldfashion carmel apple. I wish it was smaller but for plastic seems sturdy enough and looks like it should hold up over time. I have their popcorn popper for microwave too. Not so happy with it but is that my microwave or the popper or the combination of the two. Some peoples microwaves work geat with the popper others like mine not so hot.
