The timer also quit. I called the company and they promptly replaced the unit for free as it was purchased within the year warranty. That was a nice bonus... I hope to learn to cook with it more frequently, Im still learning! p.s. if you buy the insertable cake pan, it will help if your unit happens to be peeling (teflon) and is over 1 year old (outside the warranty period.)

But I guess if you use the plastic spatula and be careful not to scrap it, it should last about as normal as a regular non-stick pan.

I ordered them on line so I did not have the problems of other users that got charge for some of the other products the company sell. 2. The product is well designed and works as advertise. The recipes are great and I got from another source a compilation of most of the recipes for the grill (http://www.ourgrnbusiness.com/xpress_redi_set_go.html) 3. The inserts make the grill very versatile. It would be nice when they release the waffle insert. 4. The quality of the product is average but the coating is terrible. I studied all the way to protect the coating, I have been very careful and in less than 2 month the coating is peeling off mainly on the lid, but also start on the bottom. I'm sure that calling customer service will not help even if they replace it, in few weeks it will be the same. I am looking in ways to remove the coating and just grease it well before using it. It is a shame. I wish they would have chosen stainless steel with no coating. I looked in way to redo the non-sticky coating by myself but from all the info I got it is not possible. In summary because of the very low quality non-stick coating I would not recommend this product that otherwise would be great. I got 3 ready-set-go, one for my daughter and 2 for us.

BUT, I tried the spanish rice recipe and it was a disaster! The recipe called for 1 cup rice, 1 cup water and 1 cup V8 juice. Adding all three spilled over everything. The rice alone was too much for the two reservoirs. Was the recipe for another pan? I just got the Xpress and was loving it. BUT, I tried the spanish rice recipe and it was a disaster!

With two units going at the same time, we can cook an entire meal for two people without heating up the kitchen with the stove or oven. Clean up is quick and easy too! I do, however, agree that the shipping and handling fees are too high. Doris We bought two of the Ready-Set-Go cookers and we are very happy with them!

If it was crisp, how long did you warm it up and then cook it, because I couldn't get mine hot enough with the insert. For Jan, it's kind of a wind up timer - just spin it to the desired minutes you need. If it doesn't spin, you have problems with a faulty one. And I hope Karen gives feedback on the brownies. I guess you have to buy their cookbook before they divulge their secrets on box mixes. I've read all of the mails so far, and it looks like the interior is a problem. But no one has offered any opinion on the inserts yet. I'd like to hear about their take on them, too. I have to ask Desi what she used to cook her pocket - the insert or the machine without it?

Works great for me. The compay usually calls a few months later to say they cant bill me for --add-ons-- I didn't want in the first place. Then the credit card company calls about potential fraud (for numerous denied transactions). I call them both idiots and laugh!

All I did was carefully read the instructions on the web site as I placed the order and I did not get charged for recipes, or pans or anything I did not want. The process was very smooth and I got a confirmation stating how ,uch my credit card would be billed. I am going to use non-stick aluminum foil on mine when I get it to eliminate any non-stick problems. There is a Yahoo group called Xpress 101 and Cathy is on there everyday giving advice. It costs nothing to join. I ordered one a couple of days ago.
