Has anyone out there in Mamasource land bought this? I've seen the t.v. selling/ad and it looks too good to be true, but does it really work. I'd be interested in your comments on the way it cooked (frozen and fresh) foods. Does it really come out as juicy and good as they claim?
Thanks for all your comments, suggestions and ideas. I will look at Menards. I did see an ad in the Sunday papers but it was "marked down" to $119.00, I'm sure it's less expensive somewhere else. I will give it a try. Cooking from frozen sounded too good to be true. But thanks to you all, I am willing to go for it. THANKS AGAIN, ALL!
I do not own it, but my father does! After my mother passed away 2 years ago, my dad saw this and ordered it. He loves it in the winter, because he likes to grill and he can't do that in the winter. He uses it all the time and told me it is well worth the money he paid! He especially likes the fact that he could put in a frozen chicken breast or steak and it does come out juicy and tender! He loves it! Hope this helps your decision!
My husband saw this and just had to have it. We really do like it when we remember to use it. It is so big that it is stored in the basement so we forget about it. I love that you can start cooking with the meat frozen,I never remember to lay stuff out in the morning. It is really worth it if you remember to use it. :-)
I have purchased this oven but have never found the time to use it!! I know that is bad. I am hoping to start using it very soon because I spent the money on it and now its just collecting dust. I bought it to help me with cooking since I have an 18yr old who is home with my younger ones and can start dinner for me. My husband was recently deployed and I thought it would help us out between the two of us and neither of us figured it out to start using it. Sorry wish I could be of more help.
Our family loves it and we don't cook anyplace else, unless summer time on the grill!! We cook everything it it! Can't live without it! We have had to replace the clear plastic ring already, somehow got cracked!! Inexpensive to replace, we bought our at Jc Penny's!!
I bought it and really love it! We did our thanksgiving turkey on it and it was so moist and yummy! I will tell you though, that it isn't big enough to do a huge turkey, and if you are wanting to do any poultry over 8lbs, I would buy the extender ring. We've also made burgers, bacon, and chicken breast...all frozen from start and turned out great.
My in-laws sent us one and we use it a lot. Yes, it really works and all the fat just drops to the pan below. We have put a whole frozen chicken in it before and it came out delicious. My suggestion would be if you get one, to use PAM on the drip pan or clean it right away as the fat tends to stick on the pan. It is kind of a pain to clean because of the bulky size, but worth it. Hope this helps.
It is great! I LOVE it. The commercial is true. We have cooked frozen meat and the food turns out great. We season our meat before we freeze it. We have cooked ribs, chicken, fish and steak. We have not tried anything other than meat yet. We bought it from Menards for $94.00 on sale a few months ago.
I was going to order one from t.v, but when they added the tax, additional gift, delivery ( for both machine and gifts) and warranty it came to $247.00. Thank goodness I saw the advertisement in the paper at Menards around Christmas. The only difference I found buying the one from Menards was a dial timer. The one you order from t.v has a digital timer. You still get the cookbook and quick reference guide. It is easy to clean. All the parts fit in the dishwasher ( except for the heating element- that can not get wet).
This past weeekend I went back to Menards and bought three more for family members (mom, dad and aunt). The price was $99.00 each.
If you get one you will love it. I hope this helps.
Okay, my husband is a infamercial (I know I missed spelled that, lol) junkie.
Out of some of the things he has bought, I have to say I really like this one. It has really saved me when I run out of time to cook. And yes, food comes out great from it.
