Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I recently rented a small apartment, actually a garret - no joke - with no kitchen amenities whatsoever. I bought an old 7 ft. long desk with 4 drawers from a thrift store for $20 - and suddenly I had me a 7 foot kitchen counter and 4 little cabinets. Bought a nice (bigger than the usual) apartment refrigerator and an electric tea kettle from good old Amazon for about $150 and $25 respectively, plus a used 1000 watt microwave for $25. I started looking at electric grills and crock pots and saw this little beauty, and thought that a slow cooker/grill combo would be a great idea. Boy was I right! Having only a bathroom sink to wash things in, the wipe clean surface was an unexpected bonus. I ended up grilling hundreds of burgers and pork chops and steaks and shrimp in this, steamed fresh vegetables, made stews, and cooked scrambled eggs and omelets as well. The surface heats quickly and evenly, and as I mentioned wipes clean with a couple of paper towels. This single appliance did the work of a crock pot, an electric griddle, and a hot plate, while taking up no more space than any one of those. Best of all, I even figured out how to bake brownies with it! They did have a strange contour on the bottom, but they were as moist and delicious as any I've ever eaten. I'm not much of a cook, but I managed to eat well without too much effort for a year, thanks to this little beauty.
