VillaWare V3900 Krumkake Baker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Words cannot say how much I love this machine. Using my bestemor's (grandma for you non-norwegian speakers) heavy-duty cast iron krumkake iron, the process of making of krumkaker would require an entire afternoon and burnt fingertips. Well, no longer. I made an entire recipe in about an hour and without any help. This is an excellent product and I recommend it highly. Also is included is a recipe for Krumkake and a wooden roller. For those of you who are not familiar with this Norwegian treat, one really delicious way to eat it is to fill it with a mixture of sweetened whipped cream and cloudberries (or lingonberries) It is a real treat.
My only complaint is that the design is not as pretty as the one on my bestemors krumkake iron. But that is a minor detail.
Vær så god!!

Whether you are of Scandinavian heritage or just an adventurous cook, this Krumkake Baker will create beautifully patterned, whimsical cookies. Working much like a waffle iron, the Krumkake bakes two very thin traditional Scandinavian cookies at a time.Each cookie is five inches in diameter. The automatic thermostat and indicator light on top of this appliance tell when it is heated and ready for the batter. The nonstick grids make for easy cleaning. However, this appliance should be hand washed without abrasives due to the electrical components.

Bosch : HGS3023UC 30 Evolution 300 Series Gas Range - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have owned this Bosch 300-Series Gas Range for two months. I ordered it directly from the Amazon-linked AJ Madison website. As for that store, the stove was delivered as arranged and the price was right, as it was on-sale for a few days. More on this later. Narrowed my list down to two: the Bosch and the Frigidaire FGGF3054K. The Frigidaire had a few advantages, these included a Convection oven feature, a better lower-drawer handle, a 17Kbtu front burner and a more advanced oven-rack arrangement. This Frigidaire is about $25 cheaper than the Bosch. I finally went with the Bosch because I had had good luck with their electrical components when doing repairs on my car in previous years. I also liked the heavier and more squared edges of the iron-grates covering the burners. Both stoves seem to be a good value for 8 bills. As mentioned, bought from AJ Madison. A few cautions are in order here. They will attempt to tag-on added charges after the delivery for a thing like delivering the stove up more than a certain number of steps (an arbitrary #). Before the stove is shipped, call their service rep, not sales, and tell them you will only allow delivery on condition there will be NO extra charges. I had to be a little forceful about this. And waiting for the sales department to answer the phone will require patience. These are New York-sharpies but they will be honest if you keep on top of them. I would purchase from them again, but only if the price was 25% lower than local dealers. Now some details on the Bosch stove: nice big lighted oven with a big window, fantastic non-slide full-coverage iron grating on top. The oven preheats quickly and since it is so roomy will not (my opinion) need a convection feature. All the design effort was on the burners, oven and electronics; the bottom warming/storage drawer is the typical cheapie type found on any $450 range. The working parts are fantastic, however. High-quality touchpad includes great timer functions for baking and general timing of cooking. The timers shut-off the oven as required and all timer functions beep every one-minute after timing-out, a great safety and convenience feature for me. Those not yet familiar with new gas ranges will have to get used to the electronic ignition for the top burners. Turn to lightning symbol till lit, then set to desired flame. The oven door will detent (pause) when closing but do not expect it to hold in open position solidly, as these ovens are meant to do all broiling with the door closed. On first use, you will probably notice a few things which seem like problems but are not: an error signal may pop-up on the display during first use. This immediately clears up once the stove has been plugged-in for a few minutes, clock set and the burners have been used. The other brief annoyance is that, due to the installer disturbing the gas lines, there will likely be some dust which blows up through the top burners, causing a snap sound. This clears up in a few days. Flame level adjustment is non-linear, an annoyance to some, but is compensated for by the ability to turn the flame down to an extremely low usable level.As for safety around children, the stove comes with the usual non-tip floor-bracket and has a nice electronic Lock feature for the oven door. It has the required push-to-light knobs for the 5 top burners. One caution with any of these full iron-grate stovetops is that a boy between 3-7 may get curious on seeing Mom cleaning the stove, and may lift off one of the 3 grate sections out of curiosity and drop it on his foot. Just train the little rodent. As for my 4-Star rating (see update below) of the range, I would give it a full 5 Stars but having owned the thing only a few months, I cannot comment on continued use or quality of Bosch customer service. So far, this gas range is great.
ONE-YEAR update: Oven and electronic controls are flawless. Four of the five burners light immediately with the electronic-ignition. The left-rear burner is balky, taking ~3seconds to light. One time, a pot of spaghetti boiled over a little on this burner. The flame went out and gas was issuing from the burner. With a second burner lit heating the sauce, there could have been a big problem if built-up gas had ignited. Luckily, I was in the kitchen at the time. I suspect these electronic-ignition stoves by various brands share this problem, since burner design has to be different to allow for lighting, as opposed to the old pilot-light jobs. The second problem arose when I called customer-service to report the safety issue. The woman to whom I spoke was rude and uninterested. Moreover, she was stupid. So, considering the ~minor safety issue and the non-existent customer support, a nice 5-star range will be given only three stars by this owner. All such stoves need a heat-sensor to shut off gas flow to unlit burners. Wake-up Bosch. And while you're at it, take your entire customer-service staff for a company outing at sea. Sink the boat.

Viking Range White Stand Mixer 7 Qt. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The machine died after 3 months. I am just starting to bake and was enjoying it until I taxed the Viking with bread making - not multiple loaves but just one at a time. It died very silently - no smoke or ozone/burnt motor odor - just quietly died while making cream icing with cream cheese and cream. I hit the reverse and it just started to make a gurgling noise and then was no more.
I called the company - not really the company but a repair facility in Detroit and was told the best they could do was to mail me a FedEx slip and I was responsible for boxing the unit and they would repair it.
When I suggested that they send me a box or another motor unit (I would send the current unit back) I was informed that this was not company policy. When I attempted to call Viking and when I asked to speak to corporate customer service I was directed back to the repair facility in Detroit - this happened over and over.
I mentioned that I bought the unit retail on the website they still insisted that they couldn't help me.
Cooks illustrated rated the Kitchen Aid Professional 600 as their number one choice - the Viking did not even make it into the first three best choices - I strongly agree. The Viking is more expensive and the service is lacking. And more importantly the maching is inferior.
I am considering the Hobart or the Kitchen Aid and I will keep the Viking as backup. When you buy a mixer get it from a department store that offers guarantees that include replacement units. I am going to the Sears website now.

Sharp Microwave Drawer Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We installed Sharp model KB6524 in June 2009 during a kitchen remodel. Every appliance in our kitchen is new and this particular appliance is my favorite due to the uniqueness and convenience of this model. This microwave has exceeded our expectations in every way. One of the reasons we bought this microwave was that we needed a microwave that would fit under the countertop so our kids could reach it. It is also nice that the door slides open and I can reach down to lift out the food instead of having to reach up at face level and lift food out and down. I liked the unique concept of a drawer that pulls open instead of a door that pops open. I was a little concerned about reviews on earlier models that the auto open and close function on this microwave has a tendency to break. However, it seems that Sharp decided to manufacture this one so it closes with a button or by pushing or pulling on it to eliminate that problem. I was also concerned that it didn't have a piece in it that rotates the food. So, we were surprised to find that none of the food we have cooked has hotspots (note: I only use my microwave for reheating...not cooking). I LOVE this microwave. I had considered purchasing the 30" but decided that it was unlikely that I would need to put a dish in the microwave that was bigger than 24". So far, this has been the perfect size. It is even tall enough that I can put my portable mug in it to heat up my tea. Also, my lovely daughter did not know that you can't put metal in the microwave. She put her fork in with her plate. Surprisingly, the microwave did not arch. We checked the manual and it said you can even use aluminum foil to cover portions of meat. Not sure how they do it, but I'm not likely to try it. The microwave seems fine after the fork episode. This microwave also has programmable features such as softening ice cream. It asks what size of ice cream then sets the time as appropriate. It's a nice feature but I'm not usually softening a whole tub of ice cream. Just a portion of a tub. One other feature I use frequently, pushing the power button after closing the drawer will turn on the microwave in one minute increments. As an example, pushing the button 3 times will equate to 3 minutes. This is a pricey microwave but has been well worth the expense in our experience. I highly recommend this microwave!

Designed with convenient placement in mind, this microwave drawer oven can easily be installed below any electric or gas wall oven. Taking up the same space as other Sharp 24-inch models, its larger interior measures 16-1/5 by 17-2/7 by 7-1/8 inches for 1-1/5-cubic-feet of space, which can accommodate a tall 20-ounce cup of coffee or a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. The oven's exclusive Easy Open system activates a motor to open or close the drawer automatically with a simple pull or push of the unit's towel-bar handle. Or press the "open" and "close" buttons on the Auto-Touch control panel for one-finger operation. The unit's front-mounted touch controls make it simple to select the setting or set the kitchen clock and timer, and its digital LCD display provides clear information at a glance. Enhanced features include more Sensor Cook settings and defrost options, expanded Short Cut options like "warm" for heating maple syrup for pancakes or chocolate syrup or fruit sauces for ice cream; and a new Beverage Center that warms coffee or heats water for hot tea or instant soup. Choose from two preprogrammed reheat settings, six automatic defrost settings, 11 variable power levels, and four programmable stages, as well as a keep-warm setting for up to 30 minutes, Minute Plus, a popcorn setting, and more. Other highlights include a control lock; concealed louvers for a sleek look; and smaller, lower drawer slides for better access to the top and back walls when cleaning. The 1000-watt UL-listed microwave drawer oven measures 26-1/5 by 24 by 15-2/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Cavaliere-Euro SV218D 30" Stainless Steel Island Mount Range Hood Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The seven most difficult words in a marriage made easier by the quality and looks of this product. We had no idea how this "huge thing" would look hanging in the middle of our kitchen, but there was no other place where the stove would work and there was no way we would have a stove without a hood.
While I ordered it elsewhere (a kitchen fan specialty site) the delivery and shipping was as efficient as any I have ever received from AMAZON and the product is beautiful, but falls one star short because of the effort involved in installation, as even the pros I hired to do it took a couple of days to get it in place. Now I will say it is PERFECTLY centered and operates beautifully. Since I have NO experience with other hoods, I cannot say this was unusually long or not.
The end result is magnificent and I am so glad that in a project which cost as much as a kitchen renovation, we did not skimp or cut corners on something as vital and obvious as the hood unit.
Oh yeah, the seven words?
"I think we should renovate the kitchen"

Proctor-Silex 25400 Meal Maker Sandwich Toaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recieved this item as a gift from my neighbors. It was a true gift because I would not have purchased something like this for myself. I eventually found many uses for this little electric grill. As mentioned in the editorial review above, this grill is useful for batter based foods as well as for making sandwiches. Because we prefer hot cake, I have found it very useful for making small snack cakes. Using a standard cake mix with ordinary preparation, the bottom half of the griddle can be filled with batter. The batter will expand to fill the top as it cooks. The additional batter can be refrigerated for use the next day. The same is true of corn bread, pancake mix, browny mix, etc. The best part is the fact that the cakes will cook in just a few minutes. Pre-heating takes only 3-5 mins, and cooking about 4-8 depending on what you are working with, considerable less than the time to bake in a full size oven. This unit is also a welcome addition to the arsenal when battling toddler pickyness. Small portions of various items can be quickly prepared with out heating a full size oven. The way that it seals the bread at the seems when making sandwiches makes it useful for making healthy homemade "hot pockets" for lunches, as you control the ingredients and leave the preservatives at the store. Cresent roll dough can be stretched, doubled-over and filled. Although they are somewhat atypically shaped you get perfect omlets every time, without flipping. Simply chop/shread cheese or vegies add to scrambled eggs and fill the bottom. Although this grill has an easy to clean non-stick surface, I found it useful to wipe with an oiled cloth prior to cooking, PAM or a similar product would also work well. The effort I save putting together quick healthy lunches and snacks using this device, I have transfered to planning and preparing more elaborate meals in the evening, or entertaining.

T-Fal OT8065002 Avante Elite Toaster Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had the Avante Elite Toaster Oven for about 6 months now and have used it almost every day since I bought it. I originally bought it thinking I'd mainly use it for toast but after experimenting with different items I found that it can serve as a pretty adequate oven/stove top. I'm far from a gourmet chef so this review is from the perspective of someone who can follow a recipe to make a tasty treat but who has never broasted or flambayed and who doesn't yet know what parboiled means.
As a toaster: Just about excellent. It does the "Toast" function very well. Toast was just the right amount of crunchy. The "Toast" setting also adjusts its toasting time pretty accurately so that if the oven is still hot from having used it to cook something, it will set itself to toast for less time. However I have noticed that if I've used the oven on the "Broil" setting (which gets it VERY hot) I need to remove the items from the oven a little earlier than when it actually thinks it will be done. If I left them in there until the timer went off they wouldn't get burnt or even overly dark, just darker than I personally like. I've also made toasty sandwhiches with the Toast feature. I make my sandwhich on buns or french bread and stick them in the oven, set it to Toast, and they come out toasty and melty like you would get at Quiznos.
As an oven: Excellent. The oven part of the Avante Elite cooks meat thoroughly and fairly evenly. I've cooked chicken, beef, hot dogs, breaded eggplant patties, and frozen entrees. I've also baked pizzas and banana bread. All came out pretty delicious. I usually rotate the pizzas once during cooking because the back end of the oven tends to cook things faster than the front end. The oven itself is larger than it looks. I've been able to fit all the frozen pizzas I've tried (including the fairly large Digiorno pizzas).
As a stove top: Great! I don't know if the manufacturers intended for the top "warmer" to be used as a makeshift stove top but that's what I've used it for many many times. I set the oven to the "Broil" setting (caution, it gets the whole oven very hot, but that's the very reason I use this setting) and place a stove-top safe dish on top and then fry, boil, saute or cook *almost* as I would on a normal stove top. I've fried bacon (using the included baking sheet although the bacon can be cooked inside the oven with the included broil pan) and eggs, cooked spaghetti, sauteed vegetables and tofu and have even tried cooking corn and rice up there. The corn and rice are a bit harder because the water doesn't come to a fast boil as it would on a real stove top so unless you have a lot of time, the corn and rice will have to be cooked elsewhere. The top warmer also is somewhat warped (probably from all the extreme temperature changes it undergoes) and so I had to buy a tiny egg-frying pan (it's so cute! if I'm able to add my pictures to this page, you'll see it) so that the egg would cook evenly. That is, I tried to put the baking sheet down first and then fry the egg on that but the egg just slid to one corner of the sheet and I had to make scrambled eggs that day instead. Those came out pretty good though!
So if you want a great toaster that also does justice to the "oven" part of its name AND works great as a makeshift stove top, this toaster oven is worth the money.

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

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.)

Broil King POV-35 Professional Half Sized Stainless Convection Oven/Broiler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very pleased with this unit after 6 weeks of use. It does three racks of cookies perfectly, unlike my conventional oven that does best one sheet at a time on the center rack. A pan of chicken parts took 30 min. @ 325. It has plenty of room for Pizza stones and Pampered Chef stone ware sheets. Also, if you are disgusted with the "China Syndrom" that permeates most retail products, this is manufactured in Italy. The price was better in January, glad that I made a decision to buy it then.

Santa Fe QM2R 900-Watt Quesadilla Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Napoleon Dynamite's grandma would be proud to own one of these! Works great. One little tip before you head to the grocery store... you must use the LARGE "burrito size" tortillas with this. If you try to use smaller tortillas like "taco size" or "fajita size," they won't extend out to the part of the grilling surface that seals the edges and your melting cheese will flow out the sides. The instructions say you must use a 10" diameter torilla. That's usually sold as "burrito size." I agree with Diane that an on/off switch would have been a nice feature, but it still works wonderfully.

Bake favorite quesadilla recipes right at home in four to five minutes with this easy-to-use quesadilla maker. The 900-watt unit accommodates 10-inch fresh, pliable, flour tortillas and soft filling ingredients like shredded cheese, salsa, and shredded or thinly sliced pieces of cooked meat, poultry, or vegetables. For best results, fillings should be spread as evenly as possible, up to a 1/2-inch from the edge of the tortilla so that the edges can seal together. Gently raise or lower the lid using a potholder or oven mitt and remove quesadillas with a plastic or wooden spatula only.
Other highlights include an "on/off" power light and "ready" light, a steam guard, and nonstick cooking plates for effortless food release. The unit's soft cool-touch pads and built-in nonstick drip tray provide added convenience. To clean, wipe the lid, base, and cooking plates with a damp cloth and towel dry. Compactly store the unit by latching the cooking plates together, loosely winding the cord around its base, and standing it in a vertical position. An owner's manual loaded with recipes is included. The quesadilla maker measures approximately 12 by 12 by 6 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Cuisinart WM-SW2 Dual-Sandwich Nonstick Electric Grill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product does exactly what it is billed to do: it grills sandwiches quickly. The problem is that the grill is very small, so normal grocery store bread is way too big and it hangs out the side. In addition, if you want to make a bigger sandwich, i.e., stacked with several ingredients, the lid will not close and lock without Herculean strength and the risk of burning yourself. It does OK with two small pieces of bread and a small amount of cheese. But, for that, it's just as easy to heat up a nonstick frying pan. It would be, however, handy for students in dorms or others with no access to a stove.

Hamilton Beach 31199R Countertop 1.1-Cubic-Foot Convection Oven with Rotisserie Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before buying this particular oven, I read as many product reviews as could be found. They were for a similar Hamilton Beach Oven but not this exact one. And many were quite negative. But it seemed to be just what I wanted. This would be my third countertop oven. The first one lasted over 25 years. The second one, only about 8 years. It arrived earlier than predicted, always a plus. I burned every single thing I put in it for the first week. Not the oven's fault. I'm laughing as I write this. It is so efficient and works so well and I forgot the times on the previous oven were due to it's "dying" process. So, didn't think to compensate for a "new" oven. Well, now I'm doing much better and things are marvelous from this little jewel. Cookies, main dishes, heating up sauces quickly, (I just moved, gave away my microwave and decided not to buy another), sandwiches, even toast from atisan breads are perfectly cooked. So all the burnt foods were obviously "operator error".
At first, I worried what oven ware would fit into it but no worries. I now have a very tall stack of things that will fit comfortably in this oven including several 12-inch glass baking dishes for pizza and cookies. I only had to buy cookie sheets as all the rest (bread pans, muffin tins, springform cake pan, angelfood cake pan, etc) all fit inside very nicely. And best of all, the really large and oversized items can be given away, taking up less storage space in a space-challenged apt.
I would buy this oven again and again. It's the best. Oh, yes, the "bell" rings at the completion of cooking times and I can hear it in the most distant places of this apt. We've had really hot weather this summer and I've so appreciated only having to heat the kitchen for very few minutes to cook meals then a very quick cool down afterwards. I've not even turned on the large stove/oven that is built in to this apt. And I don't plan to, either. This oven is all I need. Oh, yes, I've been using it since the end of July 2007 - slightly under a month and with daily usage.

For everything from cooking a 5-pound chicken to baking two 12-inch pizzas or a birthday cake, this extra-large 1.1-cubic-foot countertop oven makes it possible to cook whole meals without turning on the full-size oven. Three simple-to-use control knobs allow for setting the temperature; for choosing the function--broil, convection, bake, or rotisserie; and for turning the unit off or selecting the cook time or "continuous on". Its convection method continuously circulates heated air around food, resulting in even heating and 33-percent faster cooking times than a traditional oven. Or use the revolving rotisserie rack to cook meat to moist, tender perfection. Other highlights include a power indicator light, a see-through window for checking on food at a glance, a stay-cool handle, and an easy-to-clean design. Accessories include two oven racks, two baking pans, a broil rack, and a slide-out crumb/drip tray, as well as a rotisserie skewer and a rotisserie lifter. Not sure where to start? Hamilton Beach throws in a user manual with recipes for herb-rubbed chicken, baked potatoes, meat loaf, pumpkin cookies, muffins, and much more. Dishwasher-safe parts make cleanup a snap, and the stainless-steel front-panel design looks great in any kitchen. The countertop oven measures approximately 12-1/2 by 17-1/2 by 13-2/3 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Hamilton Beach 31199XR Countertop Convection Oven Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased this one after reading the reviews here of several models. I called the mfr to learn the differences between the 31199XR and others, and was told 31199XR lacks the rotisserie components. That's fine with us as we would never use them! It also lowered the price quite a bit. If you do not plan to use the rotisserie, buy this model!
We bought it because the thermostat on our very old range died, we can't find a replacement, and we are planning to remodel the entire kitchen next summer---so we did not want to buy a range just now.
The convection seems to speed up browning of items but not necessarily cooking all the way through, so you have to be careful --- we browned a couple of pot pies last night more than we wanted to! We are still getting used to using the convection feature.
The oven bakes everything in the same time as usual with a full size range. The difference is in the preheat time---it preheats way faster than the large stove. Also, we use the convection feature to speed the preheating phase and then turn it to Bake for the actual cooking. We have an oven thermometer hanging from the rack.
I roasted a 7 lb turkey breast in it shortly after it arrived--everything perfect. I did have to put foil on the bird partway through cooking, to keep it from overbrowning, but I do that for the full size oven, too.
The top does get hot but not as blazing hot as some reviews indicate. Ours is placed well away from cabinet bottoms, other appliances, etc. All of our existing casseroles and pans will fit inside except a 13 x 9" baking dish. I have a lot of Corningware pyroceram and even the large oval French White casserole fits (rather snugly).
You have to keep the inside spotlessly clean---these electric ovens *will* start fires if you leave a lot of grease and crumbs inside. The bottom pulls all the way out, for cleaning in the sink -- that gray thing in the photo is the handle that runs along the edge. The racks also come out, and when it is cool you can clean the inside easily. If you bake something that drips, like yams, put a piece of foil under it to make cleanup easier.
Someone in another review said he burned his hand opening the door--- I place my hand over, not under, the handle when opening the door and I do not get burned---I also have in my possession a number of potholders, and I use them! : -- )
We are very pleased with this purchase and to tell the truth, we are planning to continue using it after the remodel. It's great for baking something for one or two. I highly recommend it.

True Induction Energy Efficient Single Burner Induction Cooktop (P3D) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the True Induction cooktop unit on eBay and was really satisfied with its performance. I wanted a unit that would go with my darker granite kitchen countertop and the black finish on this item looks perfect. One thing that I noticed was that it was more light weight than I thought it would be . . . I am actually able to tuck it in an upper cabinet when not in use.
By far the best feature is the timer function. You can program in (read: really easily) the exact time you want to cook your dish. This is super helpful for pasta & rice dishes b/c it takes the guess work out of when it's done.
I'm excited to use it for the holidays because sometimes 4 stove burners just aren't enough. The portability will help too - it will work as a buffet warmer for my turkey gravy!

Double True Induction Cooktop - 2 Induction Electric Burner (S2F2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have a small kitchen and every meal we cook my wife and i are running into each other. We wanted to be able to put a burner on our island too so we could stay out of each others way for safety sake. We looked at a regular burner vs induction and the true-induction people were knowledgeable and had first hand experience with both and explained it to me. Induction was definitely the way to go - i wish we had the money to replace our regular range with induction because of how fast it is. As i understand it induction uses spinning magnets to excite the molecules in the metal pans and the pan heats up instead of the cooktop. It is much faster. we can boil water in 90 seconds which is great because we never time the rice or pasta right with the rest of the stuff. Also we don't even like to use the small burners on the range now because they take sooo long to heat the pans, we use the bigger range burners and the induction (and on work mornings i want eggs fast, i only use induction - it takes about 45 seconds to get the pan heated to cooking temperature). What is cool about this model is it has a setting where you can pick the exact temperature you want your pan. we have had recipes we wanted to try that say "heat the pan to 325" - we never had a way before to really make that happen, it was always a guess.

Blue Rhino GBT1030 Portable Propane Barbecue Grill with Griddle and Stove Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a SMALL portable grill that I could use for hamburgers. This one fills the bill. I suspect that this wouldn't be a good choice for larger items to grill, but it is perfect for our use, and the hamburgers were just the way we like them!
We gave up on large propane grills a long time ago, and we have been using charcoal, but even then, by the time we buy the charcoal and wait for it to heat, we have been avoiding grilling - just not enough food for the expense and the effort.
This portable grill has about 10 by 12 inches grilling surface, about right for four frozen hamburger patties. If you make your own, you might be able to squeeze six on the surface. The other half of the grill has a stove burner and removable griddle on top. You can place a pot directly on top of the burner to cook. Both burners are controlled by separate knobs, meaning you only have to heat up the area you are actually using. It has a push-button lighter, so no matches are needed. It is a great item that could easily replace a propane stove for camping, adding grilling as a nice option.
It is perfect for my husband and I to grill a small amount of food without wasting a lot of fuel. The additional burner makes it a nice item to keep on hand for "emergency preparedness." It folds up nicely, and is easy to carry with you or store on a shelf in the garage during the winter. I especially like the fact that it has a locking top which makes it easy and safe to carry.
BUT, there is a caveat. If you are terrified of assembling items, do NOT buy this cute little grill. It comes with 18 parts that are assembled with 30 screws, wing nuts, washers, lock washers, pins, and cotter pins. There are 4 sizes of screws and other essential matching parts. The instructions said that assembly should take about 30 minutes. It took me close to two hours to finish.
On the plus side, it comes with the only essential tool - the Phillips Head screwdriver, and all parts matched up well, with only a few awkward spots to assemble. Instructions are pictorial - which can be either a plus or minus depending upon the way you enjoy your assembly instructions. In my case, although it took longer than the instructions stated, I never felt overwhelmed by the task.
If you would like a grill that uses a larger surface, you will want to consider another one, but if you are like us and want something portable, handy, and small, this one works nicely.
Oh, and if you are considering this as a wedding gift, you might want to assemble it for the newlyweds, lest their marriage not survive the assembly. :)
