ANOTHER APPLIANCE
It was late night, I couldn't sleep,
and I found myself watching the Express ( griddle? ) info-mercial. It looked like a waffle iron with two pockets, and they had a dozen units on the table. In the demo, they made everythig from omelets, to grilled chicken, to dessert cake. ( all for 2 payments of $19.95 ) By the time they were done, I was almost sold. It DID look easy and convenient... ( for 1 or 2 people ) Has anyone seen the commercial ? bought the product ? Any opinions? good or bad ? |

You couldn't have been paying much attention... you don't even know the correct name of the item, so I can't even look it up... no matter, you need another dumb kitchen appliance like you need a terminal illness. |

Some of those gadgets have a heating element in the top so they cook "both sides at once," sort of. But I have after many years of patient practice actually learned how to turn things over in a pan, so that feature is unnecessary. -aem |

I guess there are for people who were born heat deprived and can not turn on a stove or use a pan. Good lord Dimitri |

I've bought a couple of things from TV in the past due to insomnia too... but learned I'm never happy with what I buy. I also know there's a store called "As Seen On TV", so I googled it and "Express".

Yes...YES !! That's the gadget. Thanks so much for your ( useful ) reply. "GT Express" isn't exactly a memorable name for a grill. They were using it to make everything from apples to zucchini.....

I have not seen the "Express" but I do have the electric grill made by
Proctor Silex that is similar to the George Foreman Grill, but cheaper. I use it a lot. It's quick because it cooks the top and bottom of the food at the same time...so, a salmon filet, for instance, takes about five minutes and comes out with the nice grill marks on it. Great for burgers, chicken tenders, pork chops... Still, I cant say it really does any better than a good cast iron skillet. I LOVE kitchen gadgets. It's not safe for me to watch infomercials of any kind. Especially at night when Ive had two or three glasses of wine.... LassChance |

I'll bet you can make a stovetop omelet faster than it takes that thing to heat up. Stifle yourself. It's one more thing to wash carefully and store.

Sure, you can do a lot with it if that's all you got, but anybody with a kitchen has much better ways to accomplish the same thing. It's like comparing a skateboard against a car. The Nuwave oven is much more attractive to me, but I remember the poor reputation of a very similar oven, the Jet Stream oven from American Harvest. You don't see ads for that product anymore. If the ovens were any good, they'd still be running the informercial. |

After psyching you up to buy one, they try to push you over the edge by offering to give you TWO for the price of one, a $XXX savings! Such humanitarians should be administering the charitable bequests of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, not selling Chinese crap appliances on UHF TV. It seems like a form of multilevel marketing, by placing a burden on the customer to find someone to whom to sell the extra machine or to give it away. |
