Zojirushi EB-CC15 Indoor Electric Grill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros:
- non-stick surface makes it extremely easy to clean. Charred food debris just slides off the surface.
- base of the unit is made of plastic and acts as an insulator so there is no need to put anything under it to protect your tabletop.
- safety mechanism built in so that grill cannot be operated without drip pan.
- takes only 10 minutes to heat up fully.
- grill is a heavy cast iron so holds heat well. I have seen other similar grills by companies like Sanyo and only Zojurushi uses a heavy cast iron grill.
- heats very well. Grills meat very fast.
- no smoke generated- not sure why, but there just isn't any.
Cons:
- none so far.
Notes:
- if you want to grill vegetables, I'd recommend coating them with some oil before putting them on the grill, otherwise the veges tend to get dry.
- power cable is short, so make sure you have an extension cable handy.

This convenient indoor electric grill from Zojirushi is the perfect tool for lean, low-fat cooking. The large, non-stick grill is designed to direct excess oil and fat away from the food in to a removable drip pan beneath it. The grill completely disassembles to make cleaning a cinch, and the cool-touch handles and base provide safe and easy transportation. The grill features a control knob to select from a range of temperatures and a rich brown base.

Rival BB100 Crock Pot Barbeque Pit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got the Rival CrockPot BBQ Pit for my birthday in mid-December and I've used it several times since then, for chicken, ribs, and a decent-sized brisket.
First things first - read the instructions, which are brief and easy to understand, before using the BBQ Pit. One drawback to the instructions is that they just say the stoneware insert's easy to clean. Baked-on meat drippings, however, require significant effort to remove, and I advise you to spray the insert with a Pam-like product before each time you cook.
The BBQ Pit comes with a convenient reversable rack that can accomodate either ribs or a roast or chicken. I had a large brisket that I sort of had to shoehorn in, but after a few hours it had shrunk so that I could move it around easily. It's important to avoid letting the meat come in contact with the inside of the stoneware insert, because it might burn.
The BBQ Pit cooks meat at a low temperature, perfect for ribs or brisket which tend to be tough if cooked over 250 degrees. There's no substitute for time when slow-cooking, though - if you haven't got the time - several hours at least - this isn't the product for you. I was very pleased with everything I cooked in it over the past two weeks, but there are some drawbacks:
The electric cord, like that on most appliances, is pretty short - I measured mine at 32". If you can't locate the BBQ Pit near a wall outlet, you'll have to use an extension cord, which is someting I like to avoid in a kitchen.
The BBQ Pit has no external handles, so you need to place it carefully before cooking, because it gets too hot to move easily.In addition, the handles of the stoneware insert extend beyond the rim of the crockpot itself, making it easy to mistake them for handles with which you can lift the BBQ Pit - potentially a dangerous assumption.
You have to be extremely careful opening the lid when cooking is underway - along with a wonderful aroma comes a cloud of steam potentially hot enough to burn your hand.
Finally, because the meat drippings have a tendency to stick, I put a small amount of water in the bottom of the stoneware insert after the first time I used it, resulting in a moister cut of meat than intended - essentially I'd steamed the ribs and the brisket, although not to ill effect.
Overall, I'm tremendously pleased with the CrockPot BBQ Pit. I barbecue or smoke meat most weekends during the good weather (about 8-9 months here in Atlanta), and the addition of this appliance to our kitchen extends the BBQ season through the cold weather as well!

Sunpentown ST-360 1200-Watt 4-1/2-Liter Cooker with Shabu-Shabu Pot and Grill pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I decided to buy this instead of an electric wok, so happy I did. This does everything from steaming vegetables to boiling water for pasta.We are using this more than the stove top. Very easy to clean, which is always a plus. In the picture it looks like the pan is similar to a grill, however both pans we received had flat bottoms. Don't bother reading directions as they can be confusing, something must have been lost in the translation. Just figure it out on your own.

A useful addition to any busy kitchen, this 4-1/2-liter cooking appliance features a 1200-watt heating base and two interchangeable inner pots. Use the 11-by-11-by-3-1/2-inch pot for menu items such as lentil soup, beef stew, vegetarian chili, or the savory Japanese-style hot pot, Shabu-shabu. Switch out the pot for the 11-by-11-by-1-1/2-inch grill pan to cook up breakfast items like pancakes and eggs or to grill salmon, hamburgers, or sirloin steak for dinner. Both the pot and the grill come with nonstick surfaces to ensure effortless food release and quick cleanup. For added convenience, the cooker heats up quickly and efficiently, and a sliding lever on the front of the unit makes it easy to control the temperature setting. A see-through tempered-glass lid with a stay-cool knob comes included. The ETL-approved pan measures 14 by 14-2/5 by 7-2/3 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
