My wife loves for me to make her an "Egg McMuffin" kind of sandwich, except with egg whites only, and on a bagel, and with Virginia ham intead of Canadian bacon. I make one for her almost every morning befoe I go to work. I had been using these egg rings, which you lay down on a hot frying pan. They work sorta ok. But egg always leaks out because either no frying pan in completly flat, or the rings are not. I have not ever figured it out. Then along comes this pan. Seems to be the perfect size for the pefect round egg. And really, it is! The egg cooks up fine, especially if you keep the flame on low, which on most gas burners give you a flame ring the size of the bottom of the pan. This also seems to be just the right amount of btu's for proper cooking. Turning the egg over is a problem, but not a huge one. Best option is to let the egg do 90% of it's cooking on the first side, then use your smallest spatula to turn it over for the last 10 or 15 seconds of cooking. There is one fatal flaw to this pan. It is the handle! For starters, it is of an almost useless shape, too wide and too flat to hold comfortably, were the second problem not evident-the handle gets just about as hot as the pan! Now the makers have seen fit to afix a goofy egg character on the end of the handle, I suppose to insulate your hand from it's cooking temperature surface , but alas, it gets just about as hot as well. Having said all that, I still use the pan every day because it is the only one of it's size I have been able to find. And it does make perfect round eggs for that morning sandwich my wife must have!

While cute, this little pan is difficult to use. There's no room to use a spatula, so you'd better like the eggs cooked through - you can't flip for over easy, and the egg white is too deep to do sunny-side up. Also the handle gets hot and the little plastic egg bit is not enough to grip, so you have to use a potholder. Plus, it's so small that it won't fit any normal-sized burner - another burn risk to your fingers.

Although somewhat of a novelty item, it does produce perfectly round shaped fried eggs. I have had the best results by spraying it with oil and when I want to flip the egg, I loosen the edges with a spatula, slide it out of the pan and on to the spatula then flip it back into the pan.

Exactly what we wanted, holds everything we need, napkins, all meds. Great size, very pleased.

I purchased an I-Roast about two months ago as a replacement for a Freshroast Plus which had died. At first impression, the I-Roast appears quite a bit more refined than the FreshRoast. More importantly, the I-Roast has about twice the roasting capacity. On the negative side, the I-Roast is considerably louder and creates more smoke. For indoor roasting, attaching a duct for the smoke is a must. What I like most about the I-Roast is the tweakability of the roast condiditions. Too much heat too fast can lead to the inside of the beans being underroasted. The ability of the I-Roast to adjust the roast temperature should prevent that.

I purchased this for my husband for Christmas this year (2005). He is having alot of fun with it!! He had been roasting in an air popper before, and it was pretty good, but this is even better and we don't run the risk of melting the air popper anymore. He has shared his home roast with all our neighbors, he has tried many different types of coffee beans, from Mexican to Pure Kona.....
I would highly recommend this roaster!!! We have had alot of great coffee!!

I have been roasting my own coffee for six or seven years. I have used many different roasters (heartware something, alpenroast, many others i can't well remember and most recently a freshroast ). My wife (dosen't drink coffee) has always complained about the smell of roasting and brewing coffee. She says it smells like burnt seeds. The iroast is the first time she has said it smells like coffee(even tasted some). By puttting in my own times and temps I was able to roast coffee that was as good as when I used to use a cast iron pot and spoon over open flame, only much easier now. Not only is the coffee better tasting than the others buy cleaning the unit is quicker and easier. I'm impressed and would highly recommend the iroast to anyone who roasts or wants to roast coffee.

This is a good water dispenser. It was easy to assemble and it is sturdy. I think it looks nicer than the plastic/aluminum units I've rented from the bottled water companies. Well-worth the money.

I was pleased with the turn around time when ordering this product. The wooden stand was top quality and very easy to assemble and set-up. I am quite satisfied with this product and recommend this company highly.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received this item: It has a sleek wooden stand and also a nice looking porcelain dispenser. It is so much sturdier than the previous plastic water dispenser I owned! I am glad I switched!

This product works great. My daughter uses it to cook fish, chicken, etc.

The product is small but enough for a small family (2 rounds of cooking). Beats firing up the bbq.

Cleanup is easy. Highly recommended.

We purchased this about a year ago.

We love the foreman grill. This was the first time we had purchased something like this and we love the way it cuts down on cooking and cleaning! It's a cinch. The grease really does melt away.

The one complaint I have is that "Extra Large Family Size" doesn't adequetly describe this product. It doesn't fit anything more than 2 normal sized steaks or 2 breasts at a time. We would've opted for a bigger one if we would've known it was that small. Other than that we love it!

Keep it out of the sink! But, with a careful hosing this will come clean and limit the shock value that comes with wet innards. My advice: clean it right after using it... don't let it sit too long or you'll have a chore in front of you. Nice 'tuff teflon finish to the grittles. A breeze to use, no splatter. I take it where ever I go (I'm a road warrior playing bass in a kickin' jazz/blues, R&B touring band). I used to cook soup in hotel coffee makers and at one point duct taped two chairs together with the complementary clothes iron wedged face up in between. Covered the iron with alum foil and lived off of whitebread toast & velveeta sandwiches. Then I was into the apples and peanut butter phase, grapes, cheetoes, canned tuna (straight, no chaser) and it went down hill after that. Hotels with continental breakfasts are above the self imposed budget and we're never in one spot long enough to rent kitchenette accomodations. I still cook soup in the coffee makers, but I do clean up my messes with real dishwashing liquid and green 3M pads.
