Related Items: Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Designed to cook with little liquid and no oil by sealing in steam and circulating it for a convection-cooking effect, this stovetop three-in-one cooking system prepares healthful, low-fat meals--up to three courses at once. The base pan has a nonstick interior, is made of aluminum to heat quickly and uniformly, and has a helper handle. It 'steam-fries' meat, poultry, and seafood by itself, or it can be used in combination with either or both of the Turbo Cooker's other two pieces: a steaming rack and a springform pan. There are two grooves in a ledge running around the pan. The Cooker's domed lid--topped by a stay-cool knob that contains a steam vent--fits securely into one groove, creating a seal for steam produced in the pan. The steaming rack fits securely into the other groove, where it can be used to cook vegetables and/or hold the Cooker's 10-inch springform pan, which 'steam-bakes' cakes, quiches, soufflés, etc. The Turbo Cooker is accompanied by an instruction video. Also included are 15 turbo-cooker recipe cards and 15 'under-15-minute' recipe cards for quick meals. --Fred Brack Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Hate cookingI really get sick of cooking but I love this cooker. You can make an entire meal in one pan and the clean up is extremely fast and easy. Things cook faster in this pan and meats stay moist and tender. I user this pan 2 - 3 times a week. Rating: - TURBO EXPRESS !Just bought ours brand new in the box at Goodwill for 7 dollars. Thought we'd give it a go as the concept is sound, having used a Wok for chinese cooking. The operative word is WOW. We threw in 3 fat chicken breasts and poured over a box of rice-a-roni. The rice a roni's box indicated it would take 30 minutes to make. Poured in two cups of water cooked for 10 minutes and added one more cup of water and cooked for another 5. We flipped the breasts once. We stuck some brocolli ... Read More Rating: - Turbo cooker rocks!Most of the junk you see on tv infomercials is just that: junk. This is the rare exception. The turbo cooker is an excellent all-around cooking device that allows very fast steaming, stir-frying, and just about anything else you can do on a stove top. We've had one for several years and it's my wifes favorite pan. Like all the teflon-coated stuff, though, after years of use and an occasional "oops" (meaning badly burned food), it was time to send her pan to the trash bin. This meant an immediate ... Read More Rating:  - Turbo Cooker not so greatI previously had a Culinare Quick Cooker, which is another quick cooker that looked almost identical to the turbo cooker. It was my favorite cooking gadget and I used it multiple times a week. After a couple of years, I simply used it up, the non-stick surface gave out. When I looked for the Culinare, it was only available in foreign markets and I didn't have experience or confidence buying overseas directly. I knew two almost identical cookers came out at the same time so I tried the Turbo Cooker. The ... Read More Rating: - base panThe product offers a healthy way of cooking but I agree the material used to make the product is inferior. Just under a year of purchase while cooking the base exploded and a fairly large hole appeared at the bottom. I can no longer use the product.I still like the product as a cook and I AM HOPING THE COMPANY will assist me with having the base replaced. Generally when using the product it could be a bit time consuming to have to add water at times,but the plus is if you take your time to understand ... Read More |
