I got caught up in an infomercial about the FlavorWave oven. It seems to be
especially good for people who forgot to thaw their meat in time to start
cooking dinner. As with any good infomercial, the food looked yummy and the
'cooks' were terribly excited, but I wondered...

Anyone out there tried this appliance? A check of epinions.com showed that
there were 17 people who have posted reviews; 12 were four- or five-star
ratings, and one three-star rating (the author said that the cooking time
wasn't reduced as much as promised). There were also four one-star reviews,
all of which mentioned that the oven didn't last very long and getting a
company replacement (or even good customer service) was a nightmare.

So, have you, or someone you know, tried this oven? If a person doesn't get
a Lemon, is it a good product?

My crystal ball sees the following:

1) By third use, container is scratched, never seems clean, makes food look
unappetizing.

2) After tenth use, placed in basement where it collects cobwebs for two
years.

3) Finally ends up selling for fifty cents in garage sale.

Piece of junk. It dries out food.
It works on the principle of a very high wattage light bulb and a fan.
Save your money.

There's such a thing as a "good" infomercial?! Hmmm, news to me.

By the way, as long as we're ripping your idea apart, keep in mind that you
can thaw food very quickly using any thick chunk of aluminum. Could be an
aluminum pancake griddle, or the bottom of a frying pan.
