Deion Sanders Hot Dog Express Review

Deion Sanders' Hot Dog Express is an obvious attempt to exploit the wild success of George Foreman's grills, however Deion was not savvy enough to work with a high-quality manufacturer like Salton to manufacture his product.The Hot Dog Express is an OK quality product, but handling it gives hints that it will not last as long as a George Foreman grill does.

That being said, it did cook some very tasty hot dogs.It has the rollers like a professional hot dog stand, and takes about 14 minutes to cook eight hot dogs.I used Oscar Meyer beef dogs and they tasted better than any boiled hot dog ever could.The buns warmed on the cover as the dogs cooked.

The only obvious quality problem was the timer dial.It is marked for the length of time you want the cooker to run.I set mine for 14 min, but found that it stopped at the three minute mark and had no alarm bell to indicate the completion of cooking.To compensate, I have to set mine to 17 min, and keep my eye on the clock.This may be a manufacturing problem only with my unit, but is only mildly irritating.I tend to keep an eye on cookers when they are running anyway, for safety reasons.

The unit cleans up easily, as they state.The rollers and the "oil collection tray" both come out of the cooker for easy cleaning in the sink.

Overall, I do recommend this product because it cooks a very good hot dog.It will serve some heavy duty time on my patio this summer.

Total Chef TCG08G-CA 4IN1 Sandwich, Waffle, Grill & Griddle Review

**EDIT:My first review I gave it five stars b/c it worked great for a few weeks.I can't change the stars to one now, so I will just update my review summary. After about a month of use, we discovered the coating must not be that high of quality on the plates. I had major peeling off on the grill plates while making a panini.I contacted Koolatron and they sent replacement plates after I emailed them a copy of my receipt.However the replacement plates peeled again after a couple uses.Then the grand finale, THE MACHINE DIED ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. Piece of junk.

Dacor Convection Microwave Review

In late September of 2007 I purchased a DCM24 Convection Microwave oven for $550 and had it built in which cost more than the DCM24.I had 5 problems with this appliance with the most serious being its durability: 1) Popcorn and other things cannot be cooked without inverting a glass dish on the turntable otherwise the microwave worked fine, but the same cannot be said for the convection oven;2) When cooking with convection it has a strong fan that circulates the heat around the oven, but it also circulates the smells from the oven all over the house; 3) It was a mess to clean the inside of the oven after cooking meat and other items (other than baking breads)with convection; 4) When cooking meat and casseroles, it took much longer than the cookbook predicted time, but I will say that it did a good job baking rolls and muffins; 5)MOST IMPORTANTLY when it was 22 months old it DIED: the only things that worked were the light and the fan.I called a Dacor appliance repairman and they took it in to the shop to diagnose the problem.Several days later I was told that it would cost $355 to have it repaired. I told them that they could keep it.I will purchase a Sharp microwave - I've had 2 of them that lasted for over 10 years, and an Oster toaster oven for a small convection oven.

Haier MWM10100GC Stainless 1.0-Cu.Ft. Microwave with Grill Review

Absolutely loved this product...for the first 50 days.Then it died.I called Haier to find a local service center and was told they don't do repairs on this.So if I send in the receipt, cut off the power cord, take a blow dryer and remove the label on the back, along with a check for $15 via registered mail, they will send a replacement in 3 weeks.

As if it wasn't bad enough having the unit not even last 60 days, now I have to jump through all these hoops.And pay for the pleasure of doing so.Oh, and wait 3 weeks for a replacement, which means I have to go out and buy something in the meantime anyway.

The microwave is great, when it works.But Haier has a lot to learn about standing behind its products.

R-820BW Microwave Oven Review

I have to say, this is a great product!
As a microwave it works fine, What I liked best was the convection feature.
I would rather manual time my food to my liking instead of using the preset compucook features.

My advise is to follow your normal cookingtimes for items you cook often in a regular oven, just reduce the temperature by 25 degrees.

example:
If you like chicken breast that are frozen(no need to thaw)
Place them in a Pyrex dish add seasoning of your choice..garlic, oregano, onions, etc.
a little olive oil or oil of choice.

chose the convection button, then press 1 for preheating oven. normal cook temperature would be 375 degrees for 40-45 min. Just set temp. at 350

The oven will preheat( be patient)takes about 3 min. the oven will beep when ready. (if you forget don't worry it will stop on it's own if you do not respond within 20 min or so.)
Place frozen chicken in along with seasoning.

Then go relax! No need to worry about burning if you forget!!
If you want it browned a little more use the add minute feature before it finishes.

Biscuits come out great! evenly browned to perfection..I used to make them a lighter brown because I was always afraid I would forget about them and burn them.
( those last few minutes in a normal oven browns fast)
But it turns off by it's self so don't worry, just write down the time you like best and it will come out the same every time.

This convection microwave is perfect if you are a busy person with many things going on at one time.

Only one complaint, the clock display is hard to view if you are tall, the screen can't be seen to well. Just step back a little to get a good view.
A normal counter top gives a perfect view of screen if you are 5'2"-5'9"

Sharp 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot 900-Watt Convection Microwaves Review

Wow, after reading the other reviews I had to throw my 2 cents in.It's big all right but that's the only point I have in agreement with the other reviewers.

I've had the R-930CS for almost a year.It really lives up to what Sharp says it does.It bakes, broils and microwaves -- all well!I use it to cook meat and it's done a great job on steaks, fresh sausage and chicken.

It also has a nifty feature called Sensor Cook, which is intelligent microwaving.It works for a number of foods including vegetables, frozen entrees and hot dogs.I use it for hot dogs, actually frozen hot dogs.I had no idea how long to cook a frozen hot dog.Not a problem.Slap a couple on a plate, hit Sensor Cook - Hot Dog and the oven does the rest.They come out perfect.

Would I get this oven if I just needed a microwave?Of course not.( I'm not even sure what you use a 1.5 cubic foot microwave for.)But if you need a microwave and a regular oven all in a countertop package, the R-930CS is great.

The cleanup of this oven is easy too.None of the horror stories from the early generation microwave convection combos.This one is stainless steel on the inside.No protruding parts.It (so far) cleans up with a damp paper towels or sometimes with a bit of dishwashing liquid.

Sharp 900-Watt 0.9 Cubic Foot Convection Microwaves Review

Given the tremendous functionality, and especially for the price, I cannot in good conscience give this oven less than 5 full stars.However, that is definitely not to imply that it is perfect.Nothing is, and this is no exception.So, while others here have done a fine job of highlighting the positive aspects (which is in fact why I bought one, too), I will try to provide a more balanced perspective. First, though, a quick re-cap of those highlights.Yes, this oven really does do the job of three: a conventional microwave, a convection unit, and a toaster oven.In fact, that does not do it justice because it does even more than that.You cannot, for example, grill a burger in any of those types, but you can in this.Especially for a small kitchen, this is phenomenally useful.In just a couple of weeks, I've already become reliant on its non-microwave functions for a variety of things, from roast chicken to frozen French fries, both of which come out better than in my conventional oven and in much less than half the time.And cleanup has not been an issue.

Still, there are flaws.Others have noted the wobbly turntable and difficult to read LCD display, and this is true - but I think there are more serious ones.I'll start with build quality since that was the first one I encountered.I've unfortunately had a chance to explore this in-depth, thanks to a broken fan assembly in mine.This was not shipping damage, either, but a manufacturing defect.In checking out the problem, I was able to examine things on the inside, it was clear that the unit is built to a very tight price point.There is an abundance of crimped sheet metal, a minimum number of screws, and cheap plastic snap-ins securing (barely) too many of the vital components.I'll also note that Consumer Reports has been reporting failure rates for Sharp built-in microwaves (the only variety they track reliability in) many times that of the other brands.That said, this unit replaced a Sharp countertop microwave which was still going strong at 13 years.Another weak point - this time of the design - is the ratio of exterior to interior space.In other words, the cavity is quite small for the amount of space the oven takes up, even compared to other convection units.In fact, my counter can just barely accommodate its depth.This is likely partially the result of its `economical' design.Also related to that, no doubt, is the omission of a doneness sensor, which I would expect on any microwave at this price, convection or not.This sensor is what allows a microwave to automatically reheat dishes, and shut off when it detects, through the amount of steam given off, that a dish is done heating.Instead, we are given reheat presets, which are never adequate (unless maybe you weigh your food first and configure it just right on the plate).

However, not all the preset programs are useless.In fact, much to my surprise, some are invaluable.I expected that all the co-called `Compu-` settings were simple time presets, but this is not the case.Many of these are fairly complex cooking routines, sometimes involving all three methods in various sequences.For example, the Compu-Roast 1 program will cook a darn good roast chicken automatically, using microwave, convection, and even the upper grill for browning near the end.The hamburger Compu-Grill program works similarly well, though I believe with just the 2 grills.(It is not always possible to tell what cooking mode is being used).These programs make it simple for even a mediocre cook like myself to begin using the oven instantly and with good results.And it prevents it from becoming merely an overpriced microwave (like my mother's KitchenAid has: it has convection and an upper grill, too, but no programs, so they remain unused after 2 years).Nonetheless, the presence of such helpful programs does not preclude it having a doneness sensor which is virtually a standard feature these days.Ideally, it would also have a linear power supply like the Panasonics do, allowing truly low-power microwaving, rather than simply cycling full power on and off to simulate low power operation.But not many other manufacturers do this, and that may be expecting too much.Finally, beware that this oven will draw more current than a comparably-sized microwave-only unit: up to 13 amps.This can tax a typical 15 amp household circuit if anything else is plugged in.Add a toaster, for example, and you will trip a breaker (I have).

To summarize, while the build quality is a concern, very few ovens I am aware of offer as much functionality to bake, roast, microwave and grill - and fewer still offer preset programs making all that flexibility readily accessible.None do it for so low a price.In fact, of the few other countertop convection microwaves I could find, nearly all were over three hundred dollars actual selling price.That makes this unique oven a bargain in several ways.

Cuisinart CMW-200 1-1/5-Cubic-Foot Convection Microwave Oven with Grill Review

I live in a small downtown unit in San Francisco, so anything that takes up space has to earn it's living. This unit is now the only "oven" I use, and it's wonderful. I see many complain about how long it takes to "heat up," but that's a misunderstanding of using convection heat. Just put whatever you want to cook in the oven--cakes, breads, lasagna, etc.--and it will cook as the oven heats. Because of the convection, there are no "hot spots" and nothing will burn. The only adjustment is the cooking time, but that can be gauged with a little practice. Easy to clean, makes wonderful toast, pies, fresh breads and roast cuts of meat.... I don't know what I'd do without this. The microwave is very flexible and easy to use with many different choices on the control panel.

Sanyo EM-C6786V 1-Cubic-Foot Microwave Oven with Convection and Grill Review

I recently received my new Sanyo microwave and I could not wait to post a review on it!This is a truly sleek, good looking appliance that has finally broken the mold with the innovative design of its controls.Bye, bye to the traditional and confusing button keypads of other microwave ovens...I won't miss you. :)

As another reviewer already said, there is a scroll wheel (very much like an iPod control) on the inside.You have to open the door to access the scroll wheel, but this is hardly a problem.You simply open the door, put in your plate of food, set the desired function using the scroll wheel, shut the door and hit the Start/+1 minute button.If you have to interrupt cooking, press the Stop/Clear key once to stop the oven, pressing it twice will stop the oven and clear the settings.EASY!

I set the clock on this machine in less than 10 seconds using the scroll wheel.That has never happened to me before!I know it seems trivial, but with every microwave I have ever owned, I had to pull out the instruction manual to remind myself what combination of buttons I had to press JUST TO SET THE TIME.

Incidentally, the pictures of the oven provided by Amazon are not wholly accurate because it is not plugged in.The green tinted clock/timer is on the inside of the oven, but there is a clear, rectangular view finder on the door that allows the time to be clearly displayed while the door is closed.The pictures here make it look like a simple black tinted door with a few buttons on the side.Some might think you have to open the door in order to see the clock, but that is definitely not the case.

My father, who is physically handicaped (he has only the thumb and forefinger on his right hand and has severe vision impairment), loves this oven already because it is so simple to operate.He also likes the fact there is no door handle to pull at, just a simple press of a button, and the door will open.This, again, may seem trivial but try opening a microwave with semi-greasy hands while rushing around in the kitchen.You can open this baby with a knuckle or even the flat part of the back of your hand.When you combine this with the ease of the scroll wheel, this oven may be a wonderful option for those who have severe arthritis too.Just remember to read the instruction manual thoroughly to become acquainted with the functions and you will be scrolling your way through your favorite recipes in no time!

The unit offers four combination cooking settings: combination one (microwave and convection) for frozen entrees and casseroles, combination two (microwave and grill) for steaks, combination three (grill and microwave) for chicken, and combination four (grill and convection) for hamburgers.

I am so excited to start experimenting with this oven!I have only tried the convection option so far (apart from the microwave) and I was very pleased with the results.It took less than 10 minutes to preheat the oven to 350 degrees.The cherry on the top of all this was Amazon's excellent price.When I compared this model to others with similar features, the prices were REALLY out there!

I just hope the thrilled-about-this-purchase euphoria lasts a long, long time! :)

The unit also provides four combination settings: combination one (microwave and convection) for frozen entrees and casseroles, combination two (microwave and grill) for steaks, combination three (grill and microwave) for chicken, and combination four (grill and convection) for hamburgers.

Open the door to access the hidden keypad and to use the digital encoder for setting the time, power, and weight input. Other highlights include a 1-cubic-foot stainless-steel interior, a large 12-3/8-inch rotating glass turntable, multi-stage cooking options, a 95-minute cooking timer, defrost by weight or time, a child lock-out function, and an interior light. To clean, simply wipe the inside and outside with a soft cloth and mild detergent solution, then rinse and wipe dry. The stylish and contemporary-looking microwave/convection/grill oven measures 18-4/5 by 20-1/2 by 13-1/4 inches and carries a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Sharp R-820JS 0.9-Cubic Foot Grill 2 Convection Microwave, Silver Review

I acquired this microwave when I was moving to a flat with limited kitchen space, and my primary reason for the choice was that the Sharp model was multi-functional. Since I've begun using it, I happily have ceased to sing a requiem for the toaster oven, separate grill, and other items I was 'consolidating' in this purchase.

I have used the Sharp microwave for grilling and roasting, as well as normal microwave functions, and the results are better than I could have expected. Grilled and roasted foods are extremely tender and juicy - at least of the quality one could expect from a conventional oven. I have had similar success with cooking vegetables.

Reheating muffins and breads has amazing results - they seem fresh baked and, unlike breads normally heated in a microwave, do not harden in a minute. I have used the convection feature for preparing breads, and had especially stunning results with preparing a frozen chicken pie. I suppose the surrounding air from the convection oven was the reason, but it seemed like a fresh-baked meat pie.

There are a few drawbacks, which would not compromise my five star rating because of the great versatility and high quality of the unit overall. The 'auto' roast, defrost, and grill features are very convenient, as is the prompting (telling one when to turn over the meat, for example), but they are very limited in the weight restrictions. For example, if one is defrosting ground meat, it has to be a certain weight - significantly more than that of a single hamburger. Though grills and roasts would mostly fit in to the specifications, this is a drawback for defrosting, where one must estimate times and key them in manually.

Another difficulty I have experienced, when grilling on the rack, is that drippings which fall either on to the carousel tray or a pan placed under the meat can become badly burnt and baked on. This was slightly disappointing for my intentions of preparing gravies on the side. My single attempt to do so meant I had to soak the pan overnight and then scrape. The grilling results are wonderful, as far as the effect on the meats, but there is a great deal of smoke generated. Whenever I grill, it sets off the smoke alarm - probably best to roast, then only grill at the end.

I would advise anyone purchasing this microwave to read the manual in full. The capabilities will not be realised otherwise. I actually use the unit less for 'standard microwaving' than for its other features.

One further comment: the Sharp microwave cookbook, which is advertised in the manual for the unit, is useful but not specific to the multi-functional machine. It contains only microwave recipes - none for grilling, roasting, or convection.

Overall, and considering that it can replace several appliances, this microwave is an extraordinary value.
