Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Back to Basics TEM500 Egg-and-Muffin 2-Slice Toaster and Egg Poacher
Customer Review: 1-Year of good use
Summary: 4 Stars
We have this unit - loved it for the first year but now we have to hold the lever down to make it work. Thinking of buying a new one but wished I would have saved warranty information to see if is still covered but most small appliances have a short-warranty life. Egg can stick in cup but found it worked well to put olive oil in dish and then pouring it back out (to coat it evenly). Loved the top-shelf dishwasher safe pieces and wide slots that will accommodate bagels as well as bread and English muffins. Gave it a 4 only because it lasted us a year.Customer Review: 10 year old loves it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my 10 year old son actually. He is the early bird in the house and helps get his younger brother's ready for school. I thought this might be something he would like to try, better than just cereal every day! I ran it through with him one evening, and he was good to go.
We bought precooked turkey sausage patties, sliced deli ham, sliced turkey, and I precooked some turkey bacon for him to have some different choices. They are all placed in different zip locks so he can take out just what he needs easily. We bought multigrain english muffins and mini bagels. He has started to experiment with how much water he puts in, so he can have softer eggs for him and firmer for the younger two boys.
It has really made him feel independent and even creative, he said, letting him make the choices and have a healthy and quick breakfast! I am much more comfortable with this machine, than letting him break out the pots and pans and using the stove! We couldn't be happier, well maybe if I had bought the bigger version for him to make two at a time!!
Customer Review: 15+ Grams of Pre-Gym Protein!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing product. It cleans up easily - I use a nonfat spray that rinses with water and a paper towel. Eggs Benedict is preparable in less than 7 minutes with 15 grams of Protein and under 250 calories. I add a skim-milk-based Hollandaise that stores for weeks in the fridge. This is a perfect meal for any athlete!Customer Review: 2 health concern and one suggestion to "Back to Basics"
Summary: 2 Stars
Have this machine for 1 month.
First, the non-stick coating on the poaching tray start to come off. I use it every morning and rinse it off under the hot water and wipe it off with damp papertowel. They shouldn't be that easy to come off. Second, the non-stick cooking oil spray are required to use the poach tray. They all contain propellant.
Finally, the plastic handle on the poaching tray broke off. (my wife might dropped it, but it should be build with metal)
Customer Review: 2-slice toaster and egg poacher
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy and fast to make breakfast. Color and style fits very well. Was easy for grandchildren to make their own breakfast when they were visiting.
