Xpress Redi Set Go Cooker
I saw this advertised on TV several times and finally decided to pick one up. It looked inexpensive and I figured if it didn't work out then it wouldn't be that big of a loss. The appliance has worked out so well that it is now the most used item in the kitchen next to the George Foreman grill and toaster.
The Ready-Set-Go is small but sturdy. It folds up nicely and you can wrap the cord around the 'feet' and tuck it away in a cupboard or against a wall when not in use.
The inside well is about the size of a small dessert plate. It's large enough to cook two average size burritos. When you first turn turn it on, the Ready-Set-Go heats up quickly. I like the indicator light on top that says when it's heated up. The timer on it is a definite plus. However, when it goes off, it will only ding once. So, if you're not paying attention, you may miss it.
Cooking with it is a breeze. When the Ready-Set-Go is warmed up, it will cook frozen fish sticks or chicken sticks thoroughly in about 11 minutes. I've left breaded chicken patties in it for 20 minutes without them coming out black but instead a dark brown. Even though it cooks evenly, it does get hot. The bottom well seems to cook hotter than the upper well/lid. There are two 'wings' on either side of it that can get very hot so you need to be careful of this.
The one I ordered came with a cookbook, a dual spatula, a dual-well insert to cook eggs, and another insert with 6 small wells. Clean up is a breeze since the Ready-Set-Go has a teflon coating. Wipe it with a moist washcloth and it's ready to go.
Originally, I got the Ready-Set-Go so I wouldn't have to heat up the oven. When the kids want chicken strips or chicken nuggets it's inconvenient to heat up the oven. The microwave is fine, but leaves the food soggy. The Ready-Set-Go is a nice cross between the two and is easy to use. It has definitely worked out better than I anticipated when I ordered it.
