Xpress rsg cooker

Roseib · August 29, 2010

Just watched that infomercial for the xpress ready set go cooker and checked reviews online. A lot of criticisms but it seems some problems can be overcome by using foil over the cheap Teflon and not trying to cook thick pieces of meat. I have a foreman grill so meat not a problem. The reason this is appealing to me despite negative reviews is that the smaller portions that some people complain about seem great for us sleevers who are single. Anyone have experience with this?

I just bought one as I thought the pan that makes little round muffins and stuff would be good for making small batches of the bites on eggface's blogs and for omelettes, etc.

But I picked it up at Target and didn't have to deal with the telephone sales people or shipping costs. (I read several negative reviews about their ordering process). I've yet to use it, though.

I'll update when I do.

I too have watched that infomercial, and was thinking about buying and actually called and ordered but then got scared and cancelled. It almost sounds too good to be true. NLWC.Christa you need to use yours so you can let us know how it works. Thanks

Thanks. Do let us know when you use it. I'm also glad to know target carries it.

I'm going to use my RSG tonight to make the Cheesy Egg Bake recipe from the Bariatric Eating website ( Cheesy Egg Bake )

UPDATE:

I cut the recipe in half and used the divided pan to make 4 half-cup servings. I set the cook time to 7 minutes at first (all of the egg recipes in the RSG book say 7 minutes) but it needed more time, so I added 5 more.

And let me tell you, it is delicious!

I had just a tiny bit of egg stick to the top, but it wiped right off and the eggs came out of the pan easily. I cooked the second batch for 13 minutes to get a little more browning around the edges, and they came out perfectly.

I'll definitely be using this little gadget regularly!
