Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of NE VR 29160 BIG CITY SLIDERS
Customer Review: Love It!
Summary: 5 Stars
Not sure what all of the negative reviews are about. I was having a Mother's Day party and thought it would be a great idea to serve sliders since there were going to be children included as guest. It was easy to use and I didn't have a problem with the burgers sticking. I ended up making 96 burgers (green pepper/onion, lamb/feta cheese, pork/BBQ and bacon/cheeseburger). The burgers were a big hit. Clean up was easy, but I used Pam on the surface (but I use it all the time, even on non-stick surfaces. Haven't experienced the coating coming off as of yet). I got the mini hamburger buns from Costco (24/pack). I think the folks that are experiencing sticking may be overcooking them. It really only takes 2-3 minutes to cook the burgers and mine had quite a bit of liquid that needed to be poured off. I plan on getting a second one to cut down on cooking time.Customer Review: I absolutely love this thing!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read all the reviews here and thought for 19.99 I'd give it a shot. My son and I fired it up last night and we LOVE it. It's the coolest kitchen gadget I have. In only 5 minutes of cooking (clearly not 2, it's meat not microwave popcorn) we had five little burgers (and they are mini burgers, like mini marshmallows, in other words small like the name says, people). What we loved was the different toppings we could use because every burger was different and the neat sort of five bite serving of each burger. As for the non stickiness of the pan, well it's a simple thing to simply spray some cooking spray. It wasn't hard to clean.
We're using it again tonight. I totally recommend this because it's fun and quick for weeknight meals.
Customer Review: Silver flaking off
Summary: 1 Stars
I used this thing for the first time tonight and I thought it was a great idea. Burgers are perfect, except there are silver spots all over the top (not the bottom) and it is clearly the coating coming off. I thought maybe it was the first batch, but we made 45 burgers and damn near every one of them had these metallic spots on them on the top. It's like layer after layer of this silver paint is cooking onto the burger.
Heat was medium and the splatter over the edges during cooking did make a bit of a mess to clean, so after considering the time it takes to clean the slider maker and the stove, it's just better to use a regular pan and press your own sliders out.
Good luck if you buy/bought this thing.
Customer Review: Not a disappointment
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was exactly as it was described. It easily makes sliders (LITTLE hamburgers). I found it to be easy and fun to use and easy to clean. It does take longer than 2 minutes to finish cooking on an electric coil stove (about 5 - 6 min.) If you check it and it's not done, just replace the top and wait another minute or two. There is no need to try to flip them. I followed the included instructions for cleaning and had no problems, and found it unexpectedly easy. The sliders are cooked (not flame-broiled) and taste accordingly. My kids love them because they have no hard dry edges. I was pleased with the size of the burgers (fits great on half a hot dog bun) and with the size of the pan (easy to store). I'm happy!Customer Review: Piece of JUNK and DANGEROUS!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this after seeing the commercial and I was SO excited to use it! First time, burgers turned out great...despite the fact that cleanup was a nightmare, as the burned bottom (despite a ton of non-stick spray) took about 30 minutes to fully clean since you can't put in the dishwasher. Second time, I noticed that the bottom was even worse than the first use, and by the third use, ALL THE BURGERS TURNED BRIGHT SILVER BECAUSE THE COATING MELTED RIGHT ONTO THE FOOD!!!!!!!!! Not only EXTREMELY dangerous, but possibly could have poisoned us!!!! BEWARE!!!! I hope that another more reputable company comes out with a quality product similar to this, because it really is a great idea. I guess you get what you pay for.
