It does work as advertised
This product does, in fact, work as advertised but be sure you are buying for the right reason. It will cook your food, as promised, but it won’t necessarily do it an better than a small frying pan with a lid set on low heat on the stove. I cooked a small piece of raw meat and some left over spaghetti on the side next to the meat. The meat was thin and was frozen when I put it in. I topped the whole thing – meat and side of spaghetti – with chopped onions and some soy sauce after first adding a liberal amount of veg oil to the pan before adding the food. I closed the lid. About 7-8 minutes, I opened the lid and everything was cooked very nicely. It was browned on the bottom, not the top. The meal was delicious and the food was nicely seasoned. Everything was fine……………BUT I could have done the very same thing with a small frying pan and lid on the stove set to low heat. I could have also done the same thing on an electric frying pan set to low heat making sure to put a cover on the pan, in either case.Where it would be more useful than frying pan is in places where there is no stove but there is electricity such as a dorm room, a camper or RV, a hotel room, etc. This device would be more convenient than an electric hot plate in combo with a small frying pan and a lid. It would be more compact esp for traveling, less so for a dorm room with a permanent place for the hotplate.One other consideration is that it takes about 7-8 minutes to cook the meat and a side dish in portions which would be enough for one person – and not one person with a big appetite, either. For example it would not hold enough food for a teenager or a young adult male. Another consideration is that if a couple of any age wanted to take this devise along when camping or staying in a hotel room, they would probably need two of them. It takes 7-8 minutes to prepare meat and a side dish for one person. This food would get cold while waiting for the second round to cook food for the other person. If two people want to sit down to eat a meal at the same time, then they would need two of these items to take along.Bottom line is that it is way too small to use if one is going to cook food for two people. It is ideal for one person and the food is very delicious when it is done cooking. It is also not going to be able to cook enough food for one person if that person is either a teenager or else a young adult male. It can’t handle anything but small portions, at once time ,so please consider who is going to be eating the food. If you are going to be using it for two people or even one person with a hardy appetite, an electric frying pan with a glass cover would be a better option.

Very versatile
This little cooker is surprisingly useful. It fries eggs in 2 minutes and makes grilled cheese just as fast.I’ve done chicken breasts, hot dogs, bratwurst, hamburgers, and salmon and have enjoyed all.Two things to be wary of, hot steam venting and hot surfaces, the fact that the Dash has no on/off switch. It turns on when you plug it in and off when you unplug it.It takes a while to cool down too. It might have heating elements in both the base and lid as I don’t have to flip what I’m cooking. It’s much faster than going to fast food restaurants, and the nonstick surfaces wipe clean with a paper towel.Doesn’t take up much counter space, and stores easily.All things considered, this is one of my best purchases.I would highly recommend.

Best purchase
I have not own this for a few years.Still looks like new and I used it very often.Is perfect in the morning, if you are on a rush, put few eggs on it or pancakes mix and vuola`This is truly a good product.it is also very easy to clean and maintained – no washing!

La uso para calentar tortillas, de maíz o harina, semi tostar pan blanco, hacer huevos y hot cakes. Es rápida para calentar, bien usada no se pega nada y es fácil de limpiar. Tiene buen tamaño.

Great quality and price! Useful for more than pancakes. You can use for grilled sandwiches and pita bread.The size is perfect for doing other cooking! The pancakes turn our amazing and fluffy with a nice golden brown finish!
