Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of NE VR 29160 BIG CITY SLIDERS
Customer Review: Don't buy - waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
Everything works as advertised EXCEPT the cleanup - it's impossible to clean. The nonstick coat IS NOT as advertised. The lid for pressing the burgers down is impossible to clean. Dishwasher or hand washing is of little use. Food gets in the angled crevices and is difficult under ANY circumstances to remove. You spend half an hour making up a slew of mini burgers and then spend several hours trying to clean the pan to make more. I had to throw mine out after second use. Extremely disappointed. Time waster.Customer Review: Don't waste your money

I bought this item and used it one time. It did not preform as advertised. I would save my money and make them by hand as you get just the right amount....Customer Review: Great burgers but cleaning is not a breeze
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used the BigCity Slider station twice now, each time with delicous results. The scoop measures the exact amount of meat so that you can actually cook the burgers quickly and thoroughly. I did generously spray with Pam each time before using, and I have not had a problem with the Teflon coating coming off. Clean up is a little harder than what the commercial indicates, but letting the pan soak for just a little while really helps. It's not any harder to clean up than a regular griddle. This little grill is great and will be used many more times.Customer Review: Greatest thing ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is one of the best inventions of our time. Seriously. In less than ten minutes, it creates five mini-burgers with which you can experiment with different toppings. The burgers are juicy and cooked evenly throughout, unlike, say, the George Foreman Grill, which dries out burgers and gives them a weird, thin crispiness on the outside.
The only downside of this product is that the measuring spoon it comes with is really too small. If you just go by the spoon, you'll end up with the smallest burgers in the history of the planet. Most of the complaints on here suggest they are too small, but I think those people need to adopt a little common sense: if the burgers are too small, add more ground beef. It isn't rocket science. If you fill the little compartments with meat, you will end up with well-sized sliders (trust me -- go to the grocery store and buy slider rolls, they come in 12-packs. The burgers will come out the exact size of the rolls if you fill the compartments instead of using the spoon).
I have made sliders three times in the last week and, barring a catastrophic, red meat-enduced heart attack that takes my life or renders me hospitalized for an extended period, I'll probably make sliders again at some point this week. This product lights up my life and it's a shame that I cannot rate it higher than five little yellow stars.
Customer Review: Horrible! Not worth time or money
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased a Big City Slider, excited to make my very own "White Castles" at home. I was immediately disappointed. What we thought was going to be a small cast iron pan, turned out to be a cheap aluminum pan, easily dented and 'cracks' if gotten wet while warm. The pan is also not dishwasher safe. Next came actually using the pan. We followed the instructions explicity. Using ground turkey, with very minimal fat, we had 'flare ups' on our stove from the slider pan as it cooked the burgers. After 3 minutes, as instructions recommended, the burgers were still raw in the middle, the top not cooking either. Leaving it on a bit longer (3 additional minutes)we found the bottom of the burgers deliciously BLACK the tops, slightly brown, still red in the center. This was using 1 level provided scoop per cup as the instructions called for. I tried again, using less than a scoop this time, with the same results. Black bottoms, raw centers, and flare ups on the stove from the burgers. After the second attemoted, the pan was immediately washed. Non-stick does not tryly describe this. after soaking and scrubbing for a while, it actually came clean, was repackaged and returned to the store where they were not at all suprised to see it's return. Apparently all they sell of this item keeps coming back! Hmmm, wonder why.
