NostalgiaMyMini Personal Electric Skillet & Rapid Noodle Maker, Perfect For Healthy Keto & Low-Carb Diets, Yellow

Here is an another excellent example of an real from kitchenless to a tiny kitchenette food preparation alternative especially for people with no to limited kitchen access and/or no longer needs to prepare more food than for no more than 2 or so.. This appliance could also possibly be pressed for emergency use during unexpected situations (like blackouts) hooked up to an alternative power source. This style of food preparation/cooking does makes this activity/chore much more easier-or at least tolerable-to do in rather less than these ideal situations & circumstances either planned or unplanned. Which is incorporated into the these ultra portable "mini" type of LOW (generally around 500 watts and under) compact appliances.This particular one reviewed here covers the frying, stir frying, grilling spectrum well. At only 260 watts! It can also steam, rolling boil liquids, and warm up pre-cooked foods. Although as it's advertised Ramen Cooker, not so much. I feel that it's really much better at frying.I've been using the traditional, very basic 1 button/switch mechanical Rice Cookers for years to prepare most of my meals & snacks rather than on a more traditional stove. The only thing they could not offer me was a real true way to sizzle fry/griddle my foods. With this new MyMini appliance, I can do it all now very well without drawing too much power just like those much higher wattage type of appliances did previously!This little appliance is very unique in it's design. It has 2 (!) cooking surfaces. The upper one has a removable skillet & glass lid (included in the box) which nestles into the lower plate. This lower one is simply a nonremovable flat griddle hot plate also intended for cooking. I chose to only use the upper part with the skillet to actually do all my meals in. I have also been purchasing SEPARATELY more pots/pans/skillets to cook a much wider variety of stuff from a camp kettle to boil water for tea/coffee to a tiny cast iron pan for grilling a hamburger pattie! All these accessories nestle very well into the lower level hot plate like a well fitting jigsaw puzzle piece or the included skillet & lid. Plus they all are much easier to clean after use.I also learned to cook my food in batches (first Teriyaki marinated beef strips, then carrots sliced at a approximately 45 degree angle as "chips", finally thinly sliced mushrooms) as the tiny 5 inch diameter size of this unit cannot fit all the ingredients together at once. It might be a bit slow, but it works well. As you can see with my heaping Teriyaki Beef Plate just smothered with carrots and mushrooms. Though I did used one of the bit larger at 300 watts "6 cup" Rice Cooker I already owned to boil the Udon Noodles separately. I usually use 2 appliances as once to speed up the cooking process-just like on a multiple burners on a typical stovetop. And the result was so tasty. Without using any stovetop whatsoever.I recommend purchasing this product for yourself and for truly wonderful gifts for others.

This is awesome! I was hoping to find a small personal size electric skillet, and this fit the bill.First, there's no way you can cook a normal size package of ramen in this. That is the only negative about this. It says you can cook ramen noodles in this but you really can't.I'm using it to cook a small breakfast for myself and it is working perfectly for that.There is no on and off switch, plugging it in turns it on and unplugging it turns it off. Not an issue for me.I only cook in the insert for ease of cleaning. The insert and the lid can be washed normally, but if you cook in the main portion you have to wipe out the cooking area. You can't immerse it to wash it.What I usually do is plug it in, add some bacon fat, put in whatever meat I am choosing to cook. In the video and photos I added diced ham and I cooked it until it was at the Dundas level I like. That I cracked an egg over it added salt and pepper and put the lid on. Once the egg was almost cooked I flipped it over with a silicone mini spatula, added some shredded cheese, put the lid back on, and unplugged it.The meal was cooked perfectly and clean up was simple.I would definitely recommend this for the type of cooking I am doing.

The pot looks great, and works well. We love Ramen and I got this pot for my son to make himself his Ramen. Unfortunately, the square Ramen don’t even fit in the pot and the pot is not high enough to add something else like vegetables or anything at all. It’s just an inch high, which I found was very disappointing. It would’ve been the perfect pot if it would have been just a little higher so we can add water and our Ramen fits in there. Other than that great little gift.

I bought this little cooker for a couple of reasons, primarily to cook an egg for my young granddaughter when she wants one and to cook simple ramen without having to get out and then clean a bigger pan. It seems to work well for both of these applications and many others. The specifics include:- takes about 4-5 minutes to heat up in the "grill" mode and the blue indicator light will go out when it's at full temperature. The grill looks like it's non-stick, but it's not really. Just add a quick spray of cooking spray and it works great. You can make fried over eggs, sunnyside up eggs, or scrambled eggs easily. I suppose you can also make easy poached eggs with the pan mode, but I haven't tried that. The unit is too small to immerse a full egg to make hard boiled eggs.- the pan only holds a bit more than one cup of water to cook the ramen in when the ramen is added, but that's fine for my tastes. It takes about 9-10 minutes to heat the water to boiling, but it develops a rapid boil from then on and cooks the ramen well.Note that:- there is no on-off switch, so you just plug it in to cook- the cord is less than two feet long, so you'll need to be near your electrical outlet- there is no temperature control adjustment, so once it's fully hot, it's going to stay there. The heating will cycle on and off itself when it reaches full temperature, but I'm not able to tell how hot that is. Based on the speed that it cooks eggs, I would say the full heat temperature is probably nearly 350-400 degrees F.Overall, I think it's a versatile simple device that saves cleaning bigger pans when they are not necessary and I look forward to trying new things to cook in it.

I got this sandwich maker for my wife for Christmas. She’s a teacher and likes how small and portable it is. She’s able to make quick warm sandwiches for lunch, with minimal clean up required! Exactly what she was looking for, and at a great price too!
