West Bend 76026 High Speed Baking QuikServe Oven, Black/Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This oven is aesthetically pleasing but takes up a lot of counter space. It seems a lot of thought went into the design ,for example the nice weight cooking pan has a separate lift bracket with stay cool handles. However, if the top part were just 2 inches taller it would have more functional use. I cooked Ore-Ida oven fries in it on the supplied non-stick pan and they were quickly cooked perfectly with an enhanced potato taste. Then later I cooked manicotti in a small and shallow rectangle glass Pyrex dish. Part of one of the top elements had burned melted cheese on it. Both items cooked much quicker than if I had used my regular sized convection oven or my convection microwave oven since no warm up period was required. However, it seems everything has to be place only on the cooking pan which is about the size of a medium frozen pizza. This greatly limits the everyday use of this oven. I had hoped since my toaster-oven recently died that this item would take it's place, but that is not the case. I will probably still use it for fries and frozen pizza, but if I'm baking cookies, a cake or a pie then I'll use my microwave or full sized oven.
03/07/11 update:
I happily use this appliance several times a week for multiple reheating and cooking. I was short sighted in thinking it was not sized properly for frequent use, although I still think making it a couple of inches taller would be beneficial. If you purchase Phillips' crab cakes, you can cook them frozen to perfection w/o adding any cooking oil or butter. When I cook fresh fish on this I do add butter and seasoning. When and if this appliance dies I will replace it.

I placed an order for this item and what I received was not what was pictured. It was in a box titled "ice dessert." It was a white plastic mold and was only about 5 inches tall. The instruction book made no reference to placing candles in the mold or using it in this matter. It was just a cheap plastic jello mold. Tried to return it and was told I could only get a replacement NO REFUND.

Giant Extra Large Margarita Glass Review

I purchased this item to use with frozen margaritas.
Shipping: The seller used FedEx and I received the item in a few days after purchasing it. The packaging was great, the glass being inside a box inside another box filled with foam peanuts.
Product: The Margarita Glass looks carefully designed. It is very sturdy, but one thing to note is that it's not dishwasher safe. That's what the packaging says and I won't chance it. I don't mind the minute it takes to clean it anyway.
Pros: I do have regular sized Libbey margarita glasses that I use and I bring this sucker out when it's someone's special day. The last time I used it was for my bud's birthday pre-party. After I brought it out and filled it up with an entire blender of contents it was a hit. It was passed around for pictures and laughs and I must have refilled it another ten times.
Cons: Brainfreeze.

Nuwave 20322 Pro Digital-Controlled Infrared Tabletop Oven, Black Review

Nuwave 20322 Pro Digital-Controlled Infrared Tabletop Oven, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is my second Nuwave. I use it constantly. It is especially good for preparing meals for one to two people. It does everything a conventional oven will do, only better, faster, and with substantially less electricity. Items I would once use a microwave to prepare because of the time savings, I now regularly prepare in the Nuwave Oven.
However, it is too air tight. NO moisture escapes. That has its advantages and disadvantages. Items are moist and delicious, but if you like the crispiness a standard oven creates, expect less crispiness with the Nuwave. That, though, is a minor, almost insignificant tradeoff, compared with the valuable features. (One comment to the manufacuturer: What numbskull decided to put the allegedly "peel-off" sticker on the see-through ring? It does not peel off easily at all. There are a dozen glues you could have used that would cause it to peel off entirely, instantly. Instead, you went with some cheap, nearly permanent sticker that takes forever to get off. I have ALWAYS said engineers and manufacturers should be "sentenced" to use the appliances they create and produce for at least ten years.)

Kaiser Crossini French Fry Sheet Review

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this item because of the better quality of the reviews over less
expensive pans described as having similar capabilities. Futhermore, using the
assumption that "you get what you pay for" I'd hoped that the quality would be
better than cheaper ones also found on Amazon. But alast, I was sorely disappointed! I have used the cheaper pan, as my mother had one. They both performed
the same.
It is no better than cheaper ones. It is lightweight but it is NOT dishwasher safe.
Cleaning is not as easy as anticipated. All-in-all I paid 30% more for no quality
improvement. My BAD!
NO I do not recommend this product over the cheaper pans. Save the money.

Cuisinart PIZ-100 Stainless-Steel Electric 12-Inch Pizza Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

I wanted to like the oven BUT to be a pizza oven you need good heat and a good stone.
I make my own pizza dough and use my normal oven with a 1/2 inch thick stone. I wanted this oven because I could put it outside and not heat up the house pre heating the oven...
this oven heats to 450 and I was hoping the small size would be sufficient... but the top will be almost burnt before the dough is proper... also it took the pizza about 20 minutes to cook while my normal oven did it in about 10 ... this longer cooking time can yield a harder crust than desired ....
Maybe for normal frozen pizza this oven is okay but if you make your own dough and pizza you will not get the heat you need ..... bummer

I have owned this product for over 6 months. It is awesome. I have yet to have to clean anything. I cook a lot of hamburgers, chicken patties, breasts, fish etc. Everything has turned out great. The bags are a little expensive but the saving in time, paper towels, soap the expense is worth it. I do think this is more a single person's item because there isn't a lot of room in the bags for two chicken breasts etc. I hope when mine wears out they are still making them.

TSSTTVCF01 Toaster Oven Review

TSSTTVCF01 Toaster Oven
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
You'll still need a toaster with this unit. Bought this at my local Costco for about $57 to replace my small toaster oven with one that was a little larger to accommodate larger dinner items in addition to doing toast. It's great as a small oven but REALLY terrible at making toast. Doing toast is bad with this unit because of the timer. It's just not accurate nor sensitive enough to make adjustments to browning. The timer is an old mechanical tic-toc, spring variety and can be set up to 1hr. To make toast, you turn the timer to 20 minutes first, then dial it back to the lowest "Toast" settings, but the first click is about 6 minutes, which will burn your toast at the full toast temperature. In addition, the minimum setting is easily overshot when you're in a hurry to get to work in the morning. You can adjust browning by adjusting the oven temperature, but even so 6 minutes minimum is waay tooo long for toast. If Oster included a simple 3 minute toast button, this would be an all around winner. On the plus side, the unit is roomy enough to prepare the larger meals I planned, though we have only been using it for toast so far. It really is tall enough to fit a full chicken for baking. That said, this will likely be returned, because I don't have the counter space for this unit and a toaster. (Not many reviews on amazon.com on this item. Go to [...] for more reviews.)

Pyrex Pie Plate Portable Review

Pyrex Pie Plate Portable
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Oh boy, just what I needed!
I am not all that big on baking pies, but when invited to someone's home for a pot-luck, I invariably make a Quiche. It's easy, doesn't take too long to bake and gets lots of compliments. But one of the hard parts about bringing Quiche is that it's not always that easy to transport, especially if you're walking instead of driving, which I will do if I bring one to work.
Voila! As if reading my mind, Pyrex has come out with this Portable Pie Plate, and when I saw it offered on Amazon Vine, I had to have it, despite the cutesy alliteration in the product name. As many cooks know, one of the best things to cook pie crust in is a glass dish (especially if the crust is properly prepared), and as glass pie dishes go, Pyrex has a pretty solid reputation. So I really wanted to try this, and I'm glad I did.
The durable plastic cover and base is heavy enough to be dishwasher safe, as is the Pyrex glass dish that inserts into the base. The base is easily removed and is also dishwasher safe; of course, the glass should not be exposed to extremes in temperature variation. The cover locks securely in place, and has both a handle on top, for one-hand carrying ease, plus two side handles, if you'd prefer to transport it that way. The base also has serving guide marks, to assist in easy portion rationing, and holes in the base to allow just enough steam to escape to cut down on moisture buildup. All in all, it's a very thoughtfully designed piece of kitchenware. Highly Recommended.
For anyone so inclined, here's my time-tested recipe for Classic Quiche Lorraine:
4-6 Servings
Preheat oven to 375°
Prepare a 9 Inch pie-shell (or use a pre-formed refrigerated crust) by brushing it with the white of 1 egg, and prick it well with a fork.
Cut ¼ lb. sliced bacon into 1-inch pieces;
Cook the bacon in a skillet, until the fat is almost cooked away, but the bacon is not yet crisp. Drain it on paper towels.
Heat almost to boiling 2 cups milk or cream (I use half & half)
Allow it to cool slightly, and then beat it gently together with:
3 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon white pepper
Sprinkle Ground Fresh Nutmeg
1 teaspoon chopped chives (frozen is fine)
Sprinkle the bacon in the bottom of the pie-shell, along with
½ cup diced Swiss cheese
Pour the egg mixture over the meat and cheese and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Test for doneness with a toothpick or knife inserted in the center; the Quiche is done when toothpick or knife comes out clean.
Note: This basic Quiche recipe can be used for many types of Quiche - Substitute any cheese, meat or vegetable (or combination thereof) for the Bacon and Swiss cheese (Ham and Cheddar work very well, as does cooked Spinach, Broccoli or Asparagus). For additional variety, try chopped onions or scallions instead of chives.
Enjoy!

Black & Decker FC350 InfraWave Speed-Cooking Countertop Oven with Rotisserie Review

Black and Decker FC350 InfraWave Speed-Cooking Countertop Oven with Rotisserie
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This oven only does slightly better than a typical rotisserie or toaster type oven. If you are broiling a steak, unless you like your meat well done, you should start with frozen meat in order to get a browned surface with a pink center. The recipe book that comes with it only has a few examples and the pre-programed selections do not accomplish a proper product without adjustments to the time. It has a setting for rising crust pizza (like DiJourno) which starts with 14 minutes. A regular oven is 22 to 25 minutes. At 14 minutes, the pizza had risen but the crust was still very soft and the cheese was not even browned at all. I added time, and ended up at over 20 minutes with a pizza that was too soft and floppy. The same with frozen french fries. I expected a web site that would give more direction in how to use the oven but all the B & D web site has is the recipe book in pdf form.
As far as the rotisserie, the oven is not really big enough to even accomodate a medium sized chicken. I did do a small pork roast which came out nicely done. But it had to be a small roast to not touch the element guards. For the price, I was rather disappointed.

Unlike conventional or convection ovens, this state-of-the-art countertop oven uses infrared-light technology to evenly cook the inside and outside of foods simultaneously. Superior browning and crisping capabilities seal in flavor, whether cooking meat, poultry, or fish, and toast comes out perfect every time. The appliance cooks up to 50-percent faster than a conventional oven, with no pre-heating or thawing necessary, making it possible to pull dinner out of the freezer and have it fully cooked and ready to serve in no time. In fact, many dishes can be cooked in 20 minutes or less. There's also no need to worry about what temperature to cook at since the intelligent profiling system cycles the cooking lights according to the type of food being cooked. The oven provides a control panel with an LCD screen and 65 digital pre-settings for one-touch ease of use. For example, select from functions including pizza, quick foods, cookies, toast, reheat, bake/roast, or broil, and the digital display allows for scrolling through a variety of detailed choices. It also comes with a rotisserie spit and setting for rotisserie cooking poultry. Best of all, the unit�s convert menu lets you enter the temperature and time for a favorite recipe, then automatically converts it to InfraWave time. Accessories include a dishwasher-safe broil rack and bake pan, a removable crumb tray, a handle to pull the trays out, and an instruction manual. The 1500-watt countertop oven with rotisserie measures approximately 14 by 13-3/4 by 10 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Sunbeam 7530 Rocket Grill Electric Grilling Appliance Review

Sunbeam 7530 Rocket Grill Electric Grilling Appliance
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought my Rocket Grill about a week ago from the TV add. I usually shop Amazon when I see something on TV that I like but this time it looked so good I just called up and did the deal on the spot. I could have saved a few bucks had I gone to ...zon first and ordered on line.
Even so I am very pleased with the item to the point I wanted to share the experience with those now thinking of buying one.
To me the best feature is that just like the other reviews, there is no clean up. I figured that was a bit too good be true and it almost is. So far, the only clean up needed was to sponge off the lid. A very slight residue of oil will settle on the inside of the lid as the heated steam from the cooking process rises and passes through. The lid is extremely easy to remove so this kind of clean up is almost negligible.
Let me tell you, I've tried a bunch of kitchen grilling systems. There are those where I would set it and forget it, infra-red convection whiz-bang thingies with huge plastic bell shaped lid, toaster ovens of different varieties and a score of others. They all have their cooking gimmicks and most do a good job of cooking as promoted. BUT THE MESS they made always ruined it. Clean up took longer than the cooking did so after a few tries, those devices were stored and not used. Eventually they would be given to a family member (heh), sold or donated.
The Rocket Grill is a keeper and I will use it regularly. Last night I made two frozen filet mignon steaks today I heated up previously cooked rotisserie chicken, made some hot dogs and a grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
Haven't needed to wash a thing. The secret is in the parchment pouches into which the food is put and within which the food is cooked. Essentially all the grease, fat, spatter, etc is retained inside the bag. Nothing but the steam gets out. No spatter, no cooked on grease, no crumbs, no kidding !!! Nuff Said ... get it !!! You'll love it.

I have an older cat (5yrs old now) who was constantly getting crystals and urinary blockage. Expensive trips to the vet it was. 3 years ago I adopted 2 kittens. The vet said the kittens had to eat something other than what my older cat was (she was on prescription science diet-like that's not expensive). As all cat owners know, it's nearly impossible to separate them and eat their "own food". I did lots of reasearch and found Orijen. All three cats have been eating this food for 3 years. Guess what? No medical issues...At All! I've been so pleased with this food and how healthy and happy my cats are. I will never purchase anything else for my cats. You might think it may be a little expensive, but not having to take my cats to the vet is worth every penny saved.

Koolatron Compact Kooler Review

Koolatron Compact Kooler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

We bought the Koolatron Kooler a year ago and find it very useful to keep food and drinks cool while traveling.
To use this effectively both the cooler and the items to be placed in it should be cool to begin with. The empty unit will cool about 10 degrees an hour to about 40 degrees lower than the ambient temperature around it, and maintain it's pre-cooled contents at that temperature as long as it powered on. Warm items placed in a warm cooler take much longer to cool, (the manual says up to 12 hours or longer).
We purchased the optional AC power adapter, so the night before we leave on a trip we plug the unit in and pre-cool it. The morning we are leaving we load it with a few soda and water bottles that have been cooled in the refrigerator. We also put in 2-4 plastic food containers that have been chilled in the refrigerator. One or more of those we fill with ice. The more space that is filled with cool/cold items the better the cooling process for everything else (less infiltration of warm air every time the unit is opened, less warm air to cool).
On our trip we then have cool soda and water to drink, and ice to use with the soda in a cup kept in the cup holder. If we add a room temperature soda or bottle of water the presence of the other cool/cold items filling the rest of the unit together with the action of the unit will cool that within an hour or two.
The plastic boxes are mostly for use with "doggie bag" contents from restaurant meals. Assuming an ambient temperature around the unit of 75 degrees, if the other contents were already cooled to the 35 degree temperature produced by the 40 degree cooling capacity of the unit, a room temperature container of food will be below 45-50 degrees within a couple of hours . We usually have dinner left overs for lunch the next day, certainly within two days.
The unit fits nicely in our sedan behind the drivers seat (assuming there is no passenger in the back seat that needs that leg room) and is easily reached from the front passenger seat over the console between the bucket seats.
At night we take the unit into our motel room and plug it in with the optional AC power adapter. The unit cannot be left plugged in to the cigarette lighter in the car for more than 4 hours or it will run the car battery down.
There is an optional battery saver adapter that will shut off the unit if it overtaxes the car battery. (Buying that is the reason I have returned to this item on Amazon a year later.) That will allow us to leave the unit plugged in when we leave the car for an indeterminant period of time that could be more than 3-4 hours. But after 4 hours or so the unit will shut off to protect the car battery and the contents will start to warm. So, if it is in a warm place we still can't be gone much longer than 4-5 hours if we want to keep food edible.
Finally, I keep an ordinary indoor/outdoor thermometer in the unit so that I can tell what the temperature in the unit is and am comfortable that food has not been subjected to temperatures that would make it unsafe to eat. (I think the manufacturer should build that in to the unit.)

NuWave 20326 Pro Digital-Controlled Infrared Tabletop Oven, Black Review

I was first introduced to the NuWave oven by my sister's boyfriend's grandfather. His grandfather needed to get rid of a lot of personal items because he was moving into an old folks home because he could no longer take care of himself. So we put his NuWave oven to use by cooking a lot of different things in it. Being a person who doesn't trust much infomercials I was skeptical at how well the NuWave oven works at first. I even saw the local news reporting on how quickly the NuWave oven makes meals but was still skeptical till I used it myself. I found that it cooked most meals pretty well and you really didn't have to watch it. You just set the cooking time and leave and come back when it's finished. I was so impressed by this that I bought one myself and used it at my apartment going to college. This thing was a life saver because I wouldn't have time to get food ready because I worked, had to do school work, and had to get ready for school. Which gives me absolutely little time to prepare food. It works well if you don't have a lot of time on your hands.
I cooked chicken thighs/legs/quarters/drumsticks, pork steaks, beef steaks, pork loins, pork chops, pork ribs, linguica sausage, smoke sausage, bratwurst, pizza (frozen and home made), frozen burritos, sasauge links, muffins, spam, vienna sausages, tater tots, salmon, tilapia, and practically anything you could think of in it. Most of the time it came out pretty good. Just make sure you turn it over because sometimes the other side of the food is unevenly cooked. It's very good for reheating certain types of food though.
Pros:
Saved time
Very convenient
Little effort
Didn't have to constantly monitor it
Easy to clean
Cons:
Sometimes the food was cooked unevenly because there is only one heat source
The dome eventually cracks and breaks (no one tells you this)
NuWave doesn't offer any replacement parts
It will not replace certain microwave items or the need to deep fry certain things
Cooking fatty foods will make it explode oil all over your plastic dome
The dome eventually gets stained and is difficult to remove
They don't offer a glass dome
*TIPS*
Always make sure you flip your food so it cooks evenly
Follow the suggested temperature power setting for the food you are cooking
Make sure you line the pan with aluminum foil so you don't have to scrub the pan
The plastic dome will slowly crack, I wish they would offer it with a heavy duty glass dome but it would cost them too much money to send you a NuWave with a glass dome. I guarantee the dome will crack first before the heating element will give out on your NuWave. But after 8 months of usage, the dome is cracked. I used this thing daily but it will not replace the need to fry chicken in a deep fryer or the convenience of microwaving food in a microwave safe container. I am now outsourcing to a glass blower who will manufacture me a replacement dome.

Without using any fats or oils, this digital-controlled infrared tabletop oven quickly and easily cooks meat, poultry, and fish, while keeping them moist on the inside and crisp and browned on the outside. Compared to a 3500-watt conventional oven, the 1500-watt infrared oven cooks food up to 50-percent faster and saves 85-percent more energy. Its patented trio of cooking methods includes conduction to apply heat directly to food, convection to circulate heat around food, and infrared radiant heat to penetrate food, cooking from the inside out. The unit's triple cooking methods allow for barbecuing, roasting, air frying, broiling, baking, steaming, dehydrating, and grilling, all without pre-heating or defrosting or the need for ventilation. Start the oven and watch food sizzle and brown under the clear, lightweight, highly durable polycarbonate dome. All oil splatters are self-contained, and the unit's base can be used as a serving tray. The exceptionally versatile oven offers a lightweight, portable design, which makes it a nice choice for use in a dorm or RV, on a boat, or simply as an extra oven when gathering with friends and family. All parts, except the powerhead, clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Accessories include an extender ring, a reversible stainless-steel cooking rack, and a micro ceramic baking pan. An owner's manual and recipes are also included. The infrared oven measures approximately 14 by 14 by 16 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
