Comes the postman and brings the ordered device, one wonders about the packet size. If you have unpacked it, you can see why: the device is a lot bigger than I had imagined it to me according to figure.. Taken just on the same day in operation and after 3 weeks almost daily operation an initial conclusion: the device is quite shapely, its operating noise is still pleasant, not disturbing. The heat dissipation in the device environment is low. Unfortunately, the accompanying information on recommended cooking times of dishes is so puny that you have to gather experience for better or worse, in practice, in full operation. So also that large flat pieces of meat are best cooked without mixing, you want to get as a result of not crumpled flesh-something. French fries, fried potatoes or succeed very well, meatballs less because the stirrer has eventually shaped and cooked a single bullet from the individual kTo. Without stirring, the Boulette be very nice. Breaded things are done better in the pan with oil, as in the breading unit is dry and slightly crisp. But, as I said, the experience accumulated for each in the course of time. Conclusion: even if it's not 100% necessary, yet it is a beautiful and practical addition in the kitchen. I can not recommend any hesitation.
