There is nothing useful in this box. Instructions say you need an additional 36 items to use this set!!!
I have no idea what the people who are giving this set 5 stars could possibly be thinking, because there is NOTHING in this set. It comes with a few plastic molds, some aluminum foil and a candy thermometer. That's basically it. You don't get ANYTHING that you can use to make candy with.
It says in the instructions that these are "the additional things you will need:
ceramic mugs, chocolate chips, kettle, spoon, desk lamp, napkin, measuring cups, spoon, food coloring, various bowls, cooking pots, spatula, marble slab, glass jar, pencil or skewer, string, plastic wrap, baking pan, knife, fork, wax paper, vegetable oil, scissors, gum drops, toothpicks, diet cola, mentos candy, index card, paper, hand mixer, sieve or sifter, storage containers, rice paper, whisk, rolling pins, adhesive tape."!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously? Why did I just pay $30 then? To get some foil?
In addition to all of the above, you need all the ingredients for each experiment such as, chocolate chips, flour, sugar, peppermint extract, gelatin, eggs, butter, etc. etc., and these they haven't even bothered listing, out of shame I suppose.
It is the most worthless thing I can possibly think of.
Again, I can't begin to fathom why people are giving it 5 stars. Those reviews can't be real reviews. They just can't be!!!
