I just found a new toy and its called the Xpress. I know some of you might have seen it on tv. Its great to cook little things on. I mixed up a turkey miniloaf from the cookbook that came with the machine and it was great. It cooks eggs and alot of other things.It for sure go out to the 5ver.

I bought one for myself and one as present. I like it, however, the non-stick sticks. That's my only complaint. Otherwise, for the most part it browns up and cooks nicely. It is better than heating up the oven for the little stuff. I cooked the chicken cutlets filled with stuffing and a beef and asparagus roll. DH seemed to like it.

I watched that ad on TV the other day. I was just about tempted to get one until I remembered all the little appliances in my box of never use stuff. I am glad you posted how much you like it. I might rethink it.

TT, when I have trouble with something sticking, and there are things that will, I just wad up a wet paper towel and put it into the wells, shut the lid and leave it for about a half hour. I've never had any trouble getting anything out after doing that. Pam also works. You probably saw this, but the directions say that if you would use Pam in whatever you normally cook in, to use it in the GTXpress, also.
The wet paper towel trick also works great with all the George Foreman grills.

I bought one of these too. But after I used it one time it stuck soooo badly I put it away and vowed to NEVER buy anything off TV again. But with the "paper towel idea I just will have to try again.
BTW- I tried the canned biscuit with egg, bacon and cheese. It was good, but the CHEESE stuck, and I did spray with Pam first.

We have one in the camper and one in the house. Really love using them; they seem to work great and have not had any sticking problems. If it is new, I'd call customer service and send it back for another one... We use it on the table outside at the campgrounds all the time. G-kids (and hubby) love the cinnamon rolls....yummy & quick! Here's a link to have a look at one. If you get it from QVC, you have 30 days to return an item if you don't like it.... Hope this helps

Wet Papertowel trick is worth a shot. I do enjoy using it.

While home sick one day I got sucked into the info commerical for the Express and had to have one. I used it once, it was okay. I wasn't all that impressed. It's been in the closet ever since.
The wet paper towel trick also works in the George Foreman Grill. Put the wet towel in just after taking your cooked food items out. Just remember to unplug it first! I forgot once and ruined the finish on my GF

Bought it, used it. Worked great the first two or three times. Then things started sticking. Tried the paper towel ala George Forman but STILL had problems. Finally threw it away.
