I think what may have happened on cake #2 was that you flipped it as soon as you closed it. You pour in the batter and a thin layer is cooked. You close it and suddenly flip it. Now the bulk of the batter drops down and cooks normal, while the thin layer sticks to the top and burns.

The cake worked for us just fine. I think the problem you had with the second cake was that you started it upside down. We stirred just coke into the cate batter until runny, but not too runny, and then cooked 3 cakes in a row, no need to wait for it to cool down or flip. Jus pour, add candy and then top off. Close for 4-5min (i think 4.5 min is perfect). Thanks for the video!

MrCougar214 It amazes me that they made it like that in the 2000s??? What cooking apparatus doesn't have an on/off button and a temperature gage for heating something??? It's brand marketing is that it cooks in 5 mins but it doesn't even have an in-built timer. The guy had to use his microwave timer. It seems like cheap, branded Chinese electronics from Aliexpress being sold to the Western market for $40 when it should be $7.99! It is marketed as having 2 hotplates but then you have to fiff & faff with turning it upside down when clearly the design is not made to do that and they are not proud to show that aspect on the infomercial!

I have this and use it everyday. Almost 3 yrs now. As I am only cooking for myself, I’ll zap a few vegetables in the microwave, drop in some meat like Sausages, chops, rissoles, chicken, steak. And in no time at all I have dinner. Love an omelette for breakfast so I have various combinations I can do. Need a snack, folded slice of bread with cheese and ham, a toasted sandwich. It’s a great item. However, when you clean it or have an overflow from the channel, liquid sits in the base until you go to stand it up to store and you end up with a mess. The paint is flaking and the clip has broken, but when you cook for 1, it’s so much easier to clean up that several different pots and pans and the various other pieces needed to cook on the stove top.

I'm always attracted to kitchen gadgets, I find some live up to the hype some don't, this one definitely does. It's a single person's dream. It's saved me so much time and money. For myself I defrost a single chicken thigh or drumstick and stick it in the machine, cooks perfectly, no splatter or fuss. I make really nice treats from pre-rolled puff pastry. And it gets rid of the snot on a fried egg if you like the yolk quite soft. I took apart just to see what was in the inside and it looked really well made the heating element is bonded right into the aluminium cooking parts. Highly recommend it.

This was 15 minutes of packed info! You have a very organized style in your review of this item and that is very helpful. I picked up one of these things at Goodwill today but it has no instructions so I'm using your review to give me some idea of what I can use this for and how to go about using it. I am ASSUMING that all these trials were preceded by having the device ON and fully brought up to temperature? You mention about the cake starting out with it COLD so that might be the exception? (i.e. biscuits, etc. have it fully warmed up, green light ON?) As I experiment with this myself, I'm sure some of these answers will be forthcoming all on their own! No one can complain about the length of a video if it has useful things in it. This video you did on this appliance certainly meets that criteria. Thanks!

I have one and use it often ... love it. I love ham and cheese omlets in it. Cake #2 you placed the batter in the top and flipped it immediately ... leaving only a small amount of batter to cook by itself while the rest of it was cooking in the bottom. Cake #3 had no extra moisture from a candy bar and cooked faster. Hamburger patties should be as flat as possible when you put them in and flip half way through.

Why do you have to flip the eggs but not the cake. This just seams like a new version of the GT express.
@lizzettecruz50545 жыл бұрын
It only "explodes" if it builds enough pressure to lift the lid for the steam to escape. Just don't lock it when cooking food that produces excess moisture.

I've used it a few times for omelletes but only with one egg because I like to add veggies and cheese. Not impressed with the other uses but I really appreciate your effort.

You are giving a review but then not using the machine as per the instructions. It clearly states that the lid should NOT be fastened down when it is cooking. Not sure what impact this may have but you are potentially showing people how to use it incorrectly .

The effort was great on this one man! However the George foreman can’t be replicated no matter how people try but there’s a reason it didn’t make cakes or biscuits etc cause the crazy amount of years that was on the market they would have come out with that version.

Thanks Clint. I'm also a longtime fan of the Foreman grills (bought my first one in 1998), and I don't expect this to replace them in my kitchen.

I bought this unit in South Africa a view days ago and I think it works perfectly, I went back to buy another two one for my Caravan and the other for my Father in law. Please remember this is a flip over unit so everything that you want to cook time must always be be halved for the best result to cook nice and evenly. Omelette 2min a side doesn't matter what is added the lesser time cooked per side the softer the omelette.This unit is made to be flipped over and that's the key. If the burgers was flipped over say after 2.5min per side the result wood have been much better and the same with the chicken. With the George Foreman unit both sides press down on the meat etc that's why the 5 min chef needs to be flipped over for the same result, in my view an excellent product works great. O yes the unit stays on but its got a built in regulator switch that regulates the temperature that's why when in use the green light switches on and of.

I believe the white of the meat was from basically poaching/steaming it, the sides didn't have access to the cooking surface or oil splashing to brown. Maybe flipping halfway like the others, it would have less poaching and more even browning.

I bought one of these at a Salvation Army thrift store for six dollars brand new never used in the box. When I make an omelette I put in a little bit of butter add my onion and green pepper first cook them, and then I add the egg. It turns out a lot better that way. Keep your eyes open for a purchase of one of these in a thrift store. Save lots of money that way.

Dear Freakin' Reviews, I just bought the 5 minute Chef yesterday, March 7th, 2018. I made a hamburger and flipped it over in the middle and all the juice from the hamburger came pouring out even though the unit was locked. When I cleaned the unit there was still more juice that had flowed to the back of the unit and poured out there through the crevices where the two sides of the unit come together in the back.. It took a very long time to wipe the unit clean with soapy warm water on a non abrasive sponge because the fat from the meat coated everything. Also, as you said there were all those crevices in there, and yes, my hamburger also burned on both sides. Today a very dangerous thing happened twice. I cooked an omelet and after only two minutes I heard sizzling and the whole unit blew open, releasing cooked omelette all over the floor in an omelet explosion. I had had the latch locked like the instructions said. I had some egg mixture left so I thought I'd try it again - this time leaving the unit safely in the sink. After only one minute this time I heard the sizzling again and BAM, egg explosion again!!!. Although I knew it was dangerous I couldn't help but laugh because I had never seen such a thing before. Both times had I been one foot nearer I could have gotten burnt by a flying egg omelette. Also, the unit got so hot that had it fallen on the floor from the force of the explosion it could have hurt one of my kitties had they been walking by. As you said, the unit takes a lot longer to cool down than just five minutes. It even takes longer than fifteen minutes to cool down because I unplugged it to get it ready to put back in the box as I am returning it and even after twenty minutes it was still warm. By the time you wait for the unit to cool down in between putting new food into it you could have cooked all of that food in one go in a regular pan without the worry of having to stand by the thing in case one of your beloved children or animals are nearby and you don't want them to get burnt. The fact that you cannot turn the thing on and off or take the interior part out to wash it is cause for concern as the unit gets so hot and you have to leave it out until it cools down, which means you cannot leave it alone if you have kids or pets in the house because it is certainly a hazard to their health. It is also a hazard to ones own health because, obviously it blows up if enough steam from the food builds up in there. It is like an unsafe pressure cooker. It needs some sort of technology to regulate the build up of pressure inside of it so that it does not explode open!!!!! Consumers be WARNED this product is hazardous to your health. It can blow up and cause damage to you and your family if you are close by when all the food explodes from the unit. Egg on your face, anybody?

@buggsy54 жыл бұрын
Don't lock the lid. Meats shrink when cooking, so you were squeezing the juices out of the hamburger as it cooked.
