G'day, Group (yes I am an Australian)

So I saw the advertisment with Mr. T, went out and bought one and absolutely
love it. Have used it for all my cooking since, although I do not claim to
be any sort of chef. I just do simple meals, like steak and chips (french
fries for any Americans here....hey I did not want to wade through hundreds
of messages, so did a search to see if this device had been discussed before
and came up empty so it was mark all read and jump in) barbecues, roasts,
heat up frozen pizzas or pies, fish and chips, bacon and eggs (I did buy the
accessories kit..don't think that could fry an egg without the browning
tray). My own findings.. I don't know if it can cook from frozen. I've
always preferred to cook things like steak at a low heat and never been in a
hurry, so thaw it out first. Is it three times faster than a conventional
oven? No it's about twice as fast, but remember I prefer to use low
temperatures. Does it cook from the inside out? No, it does not. It would be
quite easy using high temperatures to have things like like steaks, roasts
etc. well done on the outside and raw in the centre. They also have to be
turned over during the cooking cycle, although things like chips, which only
take about ten minutes anyway come out quite O.K. using the high rack and
frying basket without being turned. No fat? Well, minimum. I've found that
it's always a good idea to spray the browning tray, grill tray etc. with
vegetable oil and if I am frying, spray the food as well. Self cleaning? Not
really. After cooking a roast for example, even if I use the self cleaning
feature straight away there is always some fat at the bottom of the bowl
which I have to clean manually but that is quite easy compared to an oven or
frypan. So there are some of my pros and cons and if anyone here wants to to
do the same or exchange their own experiences, recipes, cooking tips etc. it
might be more on topic than some of the messages I did read here.
