Aroma Housewares ASP-137B Grillet 3Qt. 3-in-1 Cool-Touch Electric Indoor Grill Portable, Dishwasher Safe, with 10 in. Nonstick Pan & Tempered Glass Lid, Black

I recently rented a small apartment (actually a garret) in New York City. no joke - with no access to a kitchen in any way I purchased a used 7-foot boat. For $20, I got a long desk with four drawers from a thrift store. I had a 7-foot kitchen counter and four small cabinets all of a sudden. I spent about $150 on a nice (larger-than-average) apartment refrigerator and $25 on an electric tea kettle from Amazon, as well as $25 on a used 1000-watt microwave. I began looking at electric grills and crock pots when I came across this little beauty and realized that a slow cooker/grill combo would be a fantastic idea. br>br>And boy, was I correct! With only a bathroom sink to wash things in, the wipe-clean surface came as a pleasant surprise. In this, I grilled hundreds of burgers, pork chops, steaks, and shrimp, as well as steamed fresh vegetables, stewed, and scrambled eggs and omelets. The surface heats up quickly and evenly, and it cleans up easily with a couple of paper towels, as I previously mentioned. This single appliance served as a crock pot, electric griddle, and hot plate all in one, while taking up no more space than any of them. Best of all, I discovered how to use it to bake brownies! They had an unusual bottom contour, but they were as moist and delicious as any I'd ever had. br>br>I'm not a great cook, but thanks to this little beauty, I was able to eat well without exerting too much effort for a year.

Nothing could possibly be that good. Well, I'm here to vouch for how good it is at what it does, which is to perfectly cook almost anything. I'm in a hotel and out of town on business, so I quickly became bored with takeout food. I found this pan on Amazon and paid $24 for one of the "used like new" models. It wasn't "as new," but it was new nonetheless. Never been opened, brand new in the package. I was under the impression that if it had been lightly used, it would have already been seasoned, saving me time and effort. I had some leftover carrots and olive oil packets from a sub sandwich I had ordered. They ended up in the pan. I started with the most perfectly grilled sweetest baby carrots you could imagine, then moved on to a ribeye, mushrooms, and a Vidalia onion. The steak was medium rare and had amazing grill marks that looked like it had come straight from a flame grill after three minutes on each side. The onions were lightly browned, and the mushrooms were perfectly cooked; there was no smoke in the room, and cleaning the pan was as simple as wiping it down with a damp cloth. What a shock! My next meal will be a pork roast. I'll let you know as soon as I have more information. br>The pan is cast aluminum, so it could be a little heavier, but that's why it heats up so quickly and evenly. Although the plastic frame is a little flimsy, this item weighs in at 30 pounds. 00, not 90 or higher, as the big boys do. It's 3- There's plenty of room for a five-pound pot roast or a pot of beef stew to feed a family of five in 1/2 quarts. Get one! You're not going to be let down. br>NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN REVISED! br>So, I went out and bought another one for a friend who lives alone and hasn't been eating very healthy meals because cooking and cleanup are too time consuming. Hah! Not when one pan cooks everything to perfection and cleans up easily. Finish it off with a Chinette paper plate.

Pros: I wasn't expecting it to be as adaptable as it is. I had a lot of fun making my first Asian-style hot pot meal. After that, I used it to sauté vegetables and aromatics with basil and spices in it. Onion soup made from scratch was a hit. Various nutrient-dense greens, as well as cabbage, are used in these dishes. Fried chicken in a small amount of oil, but it requires a lot of attention and care while frying. Roasting in the oven or in the oven may be preferable. There are far too many soups to list. I'm thinking of a slew of other possibilities. It was used to re-heat a variety of dishes. Use utensils made of bambo. Despite the ridges on the bottom, stir frying works. Because I am single, I can make enough food for two or four meals. It reduces the amount of time you spend using your large electric oven. Unlike a crock pot, this method is much faster. My electric coil cooktop isn't nearly as quick as this. Hopefully, it will draw a smaller amount of electric currant. br>Can fry/sauté with a small amount of oil. With a soft cloth, you can easily clean it. br>Adjusting the temperature controller did not cause any issues for me. Read the instructions and user tips in the manual.
Cons: I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the eggs. Perhaps someone else has a trick up their sleeve. For potatoes, I still prefer to use my cast iron. br>Neutral: a state that is neither positive nor negative. I'm not sure if there'll be enough food for four hungry adults. This is a decision that the user must make on their own. br>I've been using this pot a lot lately and will continue to do so in the future.

I paid around $30 for this item, and it does exactly what I needed it to do for the price. br>br>I bought this item to make a Thai Tom Yum, Seafood Soup with Fish, Crab, and Shrimp, at home. br>br>Item arrived in good condition; all you have to do now is set the temperature and plug it in. br>br>My only complaint is that the bottom of the cooking bowl surface is only for a grill, so if you make soup or sauces in it, scooping it out can be difficult, and if you're not careful, you'll end up dragging it across your thick teeth, scratching the bottom surface of the cooker. br>br>However, for the price, this was an excellent purchase, and I intend to use it as much as possible to determine how long it will last.

I was looking for a toaster oven for my husband when I came across this item on AmazonSmile, and it has been the best find ever! I use it as both an oven and a slow cooker. I'm a vegetarian, so I don't cook meat and can't recommend a method for doing so. If set to high, this cooks squash quickly, or over the course of the day if I'm at work. I use it to cook boiled dinners, which turn out delicious. I either boil potatoes or cook frozen french fries. I can turn it down low and make lovely red pepper quinoa dishes. Yes, it can be washed in the dishwasher, but I no longer do so. A rusty layer forms on the bottom of the griddle, which is unsightly. I don't like scrubbing rust off, so I wash mine by hand, which is highly recommended. Cooking is not one of my favorite pastimes. I work while also caring for three children, a husband, aging parents, and three dogs. For the ease of use and the variety of applications, this is well worth the money.

Yum! At the same time it arrived, I plugged it in and made some sukiyaki. Everything is in order.
