I'm not entirely clear why the device has received partly so bad reviews, I can only say value is top. Some criticisms I once picked up and commented.
Allegedly, the pans are not dishwasher safe. No idea, but the coating is very good, so that hardly any caking or nothing. Spüli and hot water to bring the Pfänchen less as 2 minutes back in top condition. Have there not even our dishwasher endeavors.
Pancakes depression is too shallow. What a crap. When the dough has the right consistency for so is beautiful fine, then can thus make great pancakes.
The regulation selector for the temperature is too small. It is not clear what it is supposed to be "too small". I pushed the button to maximum, finished. After that I have not touched the thing. There were five, because we had not regulate down.
The stone is not really hot. No problem with us. A little tip: Preheat the oven stone, then you can get started faster.
The juice groove of the stone is too small. I can not understand. We made 1 kilo Fleich on the stone, there was hardly any juice in the gutter, so evaporate relatively quickly.
The stone can be cleaned hard. Happened very quickly for me. Hot water, and I mean really hot water, make the doubt in the kettle hot, clean with plenty of washing up liquid into the sink, stone, leave 5 minutes and wipe with soft paper towel in water the fat. Why with a paper towel? Quite simply then the sponge or cloth is not so sauig that you have to throw away those things.
Cleaning in general. A little tip, clean the chrome surfaces with a sponge, then wipe dry and wipe off the end with a microfibre cloth. Looks like new after that. If the grid you want to have zero chance, possibly at the points where the lands are managed by the barbecue area at the bottom of the foot, just the unit after everything is assembled and by heating for 5 to 10 minutes clean. Then the Last moisture is out and you can store the device calms.
If you really want to find a mistake, then you will also find. With us, the stone is polished 1mm too imprecise, so you have to apply some force to get the stone in the socket, but then has the advantage that is really fixed. But for the price I can ignore it, so 5 stars.
Hope the review helps. Greeting Timo.
