I originally bought this product 2 months ago for the ability to cook meat without defrosting. I'm a nurse and work nights and in the morning I always forget to take out something for dinner. Well this rose well above my expectation I can take a steak out of the freezer and cook it in half the time of a regular oven and it comes out perfectly cooked and juicy. I cooked a 16 1/2 pound turkey in 2 1/2 hours and it was browned and cooked perfectly. The Oven is simple to use and even came with the extender ring, upper and lower grills, tongs, cooking pan,steamer pan and a cute oven mitt for what the other ovens were going for with no additions. The Cooking Bowl comes out easy and washes either in the sink, dishwasher or turn the dial to the wash setting and let the halogen do the work for you,just wipe out the bowl when it's done. The only thing that would have made this purchase a 5 star was if the direction/recipe pamphlet gave more recipes and cook times. I would recommend buying a separate cookbook to learn all the different ways you can cook with this oven. All and all a great product I will happily recommend to all! Enjoy!
Packaging was great and shipped very quickly!
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone as so far it seems great. If I remember I'll post a followup maybe in a month or so.Mine came with the name Shef on it.I guess it's the same.It came with all the accessories,more than the Sunpenton I purchased 2 years ago.It even came with a Christmasy oven mitt.Has extender ring,tongs,drip bowls and racks.Even though the settings are in celsius,it's not hard to understand.400 degrees fahrenheit=205 degrees celsius.Easy approximate way is to divide the fahrenheit temp 400 in half and that's the celsius temp(200).It was cheaper than most,looks like it's made in Germany so I take that as a plus.I'm sure it will cook perfectly.It came with english instructions and a small recipe pamphlet.What do you want for $40?But seriosly,you have to be an idiot if you can't put it together and figure out the temperature settings.It's in celsius not Japanese!This is my third Convection oven. I have had 2 Flavorwaves. The first lasted about five years and worked really well. The second, which was the more expensive "premium" model, lasted about nine months; it then decided to only work at 500F. I've had this Shef for about a month now, and so far, so good. I especially like the ability to select individual temperatures. The celsius readings don't bother me, I simply made a little conversion chart. I am still trying to figure out how the timer works ... it seems to go a little longer than the setting so I now use a second timer to make sure things don't get overcooked. However, with all the accessories and the extender ring all included, this is a really good buy. Hopefully it will last awhile.High Quality construction, Good strong design, All accessories are of good quality, Just got it last week, live alone bachelor, so cooking is a very necessary option for me in today's financial world. I have a convection oven, but not a competition point here, This unit fills any gaps left by convection oven, which aren't many anyway. I have only made real frys with it and did a 3 pound roast. so I probably shouldn't be boasting yet, frys came out perfect, but I did brush them with oil first and turned them over half way thru. Roast, well I turned that too, It was perfect and tender, I got some advice there too. Everything but the head goes in the dishwasher. My sister has a much higher priced brand, like $130.00 and we both feel this unit is as good as hers, and this has a much sturdier bowl and lid. As far as the european temperature settings, you can download a conversion chart all over the web. I don't have any cons as of yet...the instructions and included cookbooks are VERY vague though! For the money spent I don't think you can beat it!
