Turbo Cooker??

[DawnCt]

The turbo cooker, that cooks an entire meal in one pot in layers, and was widely advertized on TV for $99 is now available at Walmart and K mart for $39. Has any one used this? If so do you like it and what do you make in it?

I don't have one Dawn, but I'd love to try that chocolate cake with the cherry topping that they make in the infomercial !

It looks easy on tv. However, my question is, either they are so wonderful and terrific and have sold so many that they can afford to drop the price to make them affordable to everyone OR they are useless, worthless items and they can't empty out the warehouses fast enough. I would love to know the answer.

I bought one last spring off the TV. I tried the breakfast dish and ended up burning the hash browns. It takes lots of water to keep this thing from burning stuff.

I am not sure it is quite worth it. I like the steamer part but have honestly not tried much else.

I was going to make spaghetti tonight, maybe I will try it in the cooker with the garlic bread. I can post tomorrow how it turns out.

I LOVE mine!! My mom found it, only used ONCE, at a garage sale for $10, it has everything! I've tried 2 or 3 recipes, and yes, it's not like they show on tv, you do have to work a lot with it, but it is sooooo worth it! The recipes I made were easy and delicious...mmmm...think I'm going to make something in it tonight. Ha, ha, I should be on the infomercial!!

*edited to add that cleanup is so easy, too.
