i HAVE WATCHED INFOMERCIALS ON THIS PRODUCT FOR YEARS...I WAS ALWAYS HESITANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE INFOMERCIAL TO PURCHASE BECAUSE OF HIDDEN SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGES THAT OFTEN TIMES ARE EQUAL TO THE COST OF THE ITEM. I WAS ALSO NOT SURE HOW MUCH I WOULD USE SOMETHING LIKE THIS DESPITE THE MANY USES DEMONSTRATED. I SAW THIS POSTING WHERE IT WAS ACTUALLY FOR 2 OF THESE AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE FOR 1--BRAND NEW. I COULDNT HESITATE ANY LONGER. I HAVE A SON BUILDING A HOUSEHOLD AND I WAS SURE HE WOULD MAKE GOOD USE OF ONE AS WELL. IT IS A COMPACT UNIT AND DOES WHAT IS SAID ABOUT IT. IT ALSO COMES WITH A NICE LITTLE COOKBOOK THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA ABOUT TIMING AND PORTIONS FOR RECIPES. EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE IN IT WAS WELL MADE AND QUICK. WHAT I DONT LIKE IS THAT IT HAS TO BE CLEANED AS BEST YOU CAN BECAUSE THE LINERS ARENT REMOVABLE...FOR THAT REASON I WON'T EVER COOK ANYTHING LIKE FISH OR SALMON BECAUSE THE OIL JUST DOESNT TOTALLY CLEAN OFF UNLESS YOU CAN SOAK IT OR PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER...IF I WERE TO DO THIS AGAIN --AND I JUST MIGHT--I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO BUY THE NEWER MODEL WITH THE DIFFERENT INSERTS THAT ARE REMOVABLE AND DISHWASHER SAFE--AND YOU CAN DO SO MUCH MORE WITH IT BECAUSE YOU CAN REMOVE THE INSERT THAT DIVIDES THE BOTTOM OF THE MAKER AND DO THINGS LIKE MINI PIZZA'S OR BIG CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES OR THINGS USING CORN OR FLOUR TORTILLAS ....ALL IN ALLL IT WAS WORTH THE PRICE--I AM ANXIOUS TO SEE HOW MUCH MY SON USES HIS!Read full review
Make sure you read the instructions and season the grill BEFORE you use it. Also only use the included spatula because others will damage the finish. If you do this the finish doen't peel off. I had a friend over that used a fork to remove something and scratched the finish which then started to peel off so I bought another grill. This grill makes the best omlets ever. The cake and muffins are a big hit at my house because you have make it fresh and don't left overs so it really helps with portion control. It makes great sandwiches but you have to make them big enough that they touch the top plate for the best results. I don't recomend it for cooking a whole meal but for snacks or breakfast it works great. It does get hot to the touch so I don't recomend it for kids unsupervised.Read full review
I like it for the quick meals. I wished i would of bought the one with the timer and the one with the removable plates. I probabally buy that one if i ever wear this one out. By then they will have a better one and updated more by then. It is great for a 1 person meal if in a hurry. clean up is a breeze, just wipe it out with a damp cloth. People complain about sticking problems i didnt have them isssues yet. I do spray it good with Pam cooking spray also just to make sure it doesnt stick. I cook stuff a lil bit longer than the directions also to get it fully cook all the way through and to get a browning tint for loooks. I would recomend it to friends and family especially if they was living in a dorm with no space for cooking utensils and need a fast good healthy breakfast and lunches.
I gave this 5 stars because it does exactly what I bought it for....making corn bread!!! It also does omelets as well as pocket sandwiches, but like I said I bought it for cornbread!! YUM. Okay, is it compact I said yes, because it is, Is it easy to operate, couldn't be simpler - caveat, mine the lid doesn't quite want to stand open on it's own when I'm filling the pockets - my mom's (which is why I bought mine) does...so mileage may vary... Is it easy to clean? Yep, wipe with a damp wash wrag and it's clean. Want to be extra sure. I use a little vinegar on a napkin after I've wiped it with a wash rag.

I received the GT Express 101 and immediately used it...I am now cooking for one and thought this would be the best way of cooking for me..It is an easy and quick cooking utensil. The cookbook is a great source for fast recipes. It is quite easy to clean and store. When I ordered it, I didn't know there is an updated version with a few bells and whistles called Redi Set Go from the same manufacturer...but this simple one will due for awhile.
