I wish I had ordered his insulated French press coffee maker ! I saw it yesterday and thought that probably will be available tommorrow --- eh another wrong guess on my part. It is sold out. I have it in my favorites so will know when it is back. I hope it is similar in price. Under $25 , SS , and insulated a claim of up to 6 hours .

 

I have always wanted to try a French Press . I know that 'Mrs. Clumsy' would break a glass one and don't want plastic. I don't think I would use it on early rising mornings but would like for leisure a.m. I have heard great things from users of FP as to taste being fantastic.

 

 Could any French press users comment on whether you get grounds in your beverage?

I checked out his version of a counter top pizza oven that is supposed to also bake other foods.  The reviews are either raving about how wonderful or scathing to the extremes.  One reviewer's caught on fire, began melting down first time used.  Taking into account that any appliance type will have scratches, mis-aligned or floppy covers and temperature malfunctions, this one seems like a 50/50 gamble, about $110 less than the Breville pizza oven which has one function:  pizza.  A consistent complaint was the coating on the metal pans flaked offf and showed signs of rust after first few uses.  It's on clearance now.  

 

I wish a company would manufacture a similar oven with an adjustable depth to allow for more than minimal pizza toppings and built as well as the Breville (which also has complaints of going dead within a year).

 

In the meantime, I have a large pizza stone for the big oven.  The negative is I have trouble getting pizza on and off easily w/o half ending up on the floor of the oven.

 

I wonder if WP will come up with an improved model or give this one up entirely. I'll wait and watch.  Does anyone here have this to give their opinion?

free2be, did you try a little cornmeal on the pizza paddle then add pizza, it should slide a little to make it easier putting pizza in & out of oven.

Does anyone have Wolf's Reversible Grill and Griddle Cook Center  Item# 565-555 ?

 

I saw it last night and wanted it. It's really a large size so storage may be a problem for me..  If you have it, would you recommend it?

 

Thanks!

I've had it for couple of yrs. and use for pancakes and steaks.

does fine. no problems . I keep mine on the floor of the front foyer closet area.

Take the electric plug out before you clean it in sink and hold that electric side up out of the water don't want to get water down where you plug in the electric plug in temp control.

watch the video if they have one.

has drip tray to catch grease.

 

If you put bbq sauce on your meat you'll have to clean that up before it sits to long. bbq sauce has sugar in it and that will burn and stick on the surface.
