"Say goodbye to your oven", they said

I am baking two dozen rolls today, I don't think they will fit in that.

They will, however, fit in my oven.

[quote]Say goodbye to your oven

Not this nonsense again.

Apparently it's too massive for an average NY kitchen counter but I really do want it.

"Say goodbye to your wood stove", (sic) they said

Say goodbye to your gas stove

Apparently the twat doing the review doesn't really understand what an oven can do, and what the "Ninja Speedi" can't.

r6 Why don't you detail for us rubes, Expert.

Damn, we use our Ninja almost daily. I have an ActiCook and Stir, too. I probably use my stove twice a year.

If you love the planet you will buy one of these and ditch your gas stove!

There's a sucker born every minute.

Can I bake pies? Peach cobbler

It looks small. Can I roast my 28 lb turkey in it?

How do I cook Thanksgiving turkey in that?

How about a birthday cake?

Apparently it takes birds.

A stove + oven, a couple pots and pans, are all one needs. A microwave is another useful appliance.

R5 I happen to believe the electro magentic energies emitted by elctric stoves and ranges is more toxic than gas and less natural that needs to be my choice.

Oh DEAR, darling r17. You will not fare well in the world the WEF envisions for you. Best hide in a cave.

People still use gas? Christ.

I hate gas. It's horrible to clean. Induction is way better.

R7, I don't waste time with the uneducable, you Silly Twat (since you're so fond of capitalization). Oh, dear.

I don’t cook

R10, why don't you detail for us rubes, Expert.

That won't work for what I have in mind.

Why r24 is so angry I do not know.

R24's a raging cunt who shits all over every thread.

What I don't understand is the selling point. Every kitchen I know already has an oven and cooking plates. Now I'm being asked to buy an extra kitchen gadget and ignore the utilities I've already paid for and been in my kitchen forever? For ... convenience? How many people can afford that right now (abandon still functioning kitchen utilities in favor of a new, shiny toy)?

R27. If you're not willing to abandon something for convenience, what are you willing to abandon it for?

I get the price issue but convenience will always win out for me.

Most professional chefs never buy single-use items like this one. You don't need it.

Because, r27, ovens and gas rages caus HEAT. You are supposed to use this and feel you are not contributing to the global warming thereby.

[quote] [R27]. If you're not willing to abandon something for convenience, what are you willing to abandon it for?

Abandon???? Wait, am I really the only one who only buys stuff when the old one no longer works? Who are you people, members of the GOOP Cult?

You'll have to pry my gas stove from my dead hands. Not giving it up.

R31. I suppose you must be wearing the same set of clothes from 3 years ago and driving the same car from the early 2000's too.

Do you still have a Walkman phone by any chance?

No more gas ranges for YOU, peasants.

The government will destroy you and everything you value before you're allowed to keep it.

Sorry, but its true.

Gas ranges are now only for billionaires.

R27 - my Ninja cooks much faster, and in the summer it doesn’t heat up my kitchen. That alone is worth it.

I hope you choke on your condescending saliva. Or get a deadly shock from your new shitty toy, GOOP tard.

Do I have to throw my oven a going-away party?

Some of us can't just give up our gas stoves, because our houses are not wired for electric stoves (regular or induction.) It would be quite expensive to install the appropriate outlet for an electric stove.

Same goes for houses that are wired for gas dryers -- we can't just magically replace it with an electric one. And that also makes it more difficult to install a charger for an electric vehicle.

I'm assuming there's a US version of this appliance that doesn't have a setting for "Hob." And someone needs to tell Emma or her proofreader/editor that we don't use the pound sign to designate US dollars.

This is my new best friend. A microwave/convection all in one. As long as whatever I am backing can get on a 12" round pizza pan, I am good to go. Since it is only my partner and I, we haven't turn on the huge gas over, except for crowds. I love it!!!

A gas stove used to prepare a family lunch in the summer in the South heats up a kitchen something terrible.

Yeah, you may have AC but it's working extra hard just to cool down your kitchen. Your wouldn't have that energy waste if you had an induction stove.

Why don't you all explain it all for all of us, Experts?

And I mean everyone, everywhere!!!

EXPLAIN YOURSELVES!!!!!!

[quote] A gas stove used to prepare a family lunch in the summer in the South heats up a kitchen something terrible.

Which is interesting because electric tea kettles have never really caught on in the US. I bought one simply because it doesn't heat up the kitchen.

R38, has the electric in your home been upgraded since 1920? Adding an outlet is not a big deal.

R33 Who the hell doesn't wear the same set of clothes from 3 years ago? What kind of shitty clothes are you buying, that falls apart after 3 years?

[quote] has the electric in your home been upgraded since 1920? Adding an outlet is not a big deal.

Adding a 240 outlet is a huge, expensive deal. And my house was built in 1986.

240V??

You mean 220V?

No, I mean 240.

I'm afraid there's no room next to my countertop rotisserie.

What do you consider a huge, expensive deal? I’ve had this done a few times and don’t recall it being an issue. Googles says $300.

220, 221. Whatever it takes.

Worst ad placement ever.

I cooked on a gas stoves for 30 plus years and am now cooking on electric.

Gas is just so much better.

Anyway, I'm not interested in knowing about this thing. The more you know about cooking, the less you need superfluous gadgets and appliances.

The truth is, they'll just wind up on a shelf in the garage next to the fondue pot and slow cooker.

I know what was on your oven's ipod.

[quote]R31, I suppose you must be wearing the same set of clothes from 3 years ago and driving the same car from the early 2000's too.

Yes to both, as a matter of fact. Clothes from three years ago I consider "newish."

[quote]I suppose you must be wearing the same set of clothes from 3 years ago

People who buy good clothes keep them for years.

Obviously you buy the cheap stuff.

Gadget samadget another landfill item. Junk

I like air fryer cooker things.

My sister used to have a Stanley, which would heat the house, hot water cylinder and you did your cooking on it.

Nope.

Sylvia Plath said goodbye IN her oven.

Induction tops discriminate against people with shitty pans and electric ovens always lie about the temperature.

An old stove with plugged burners and a kinky pipe is all we needed back in my day. You checked the warming drawer to make sure the cat hadn’t hidden a carcas.

Perhaps some of you freaking out over gas stoves might want to browse the numerous videos on Youtube of peoples entire houses being completely decimated due to gas leaks. Non-gas ovens/stoves are simply safer imo. The recent concern over gas stoves primarily stemmed from the fact that many homes with them aren't properly ventilated for them. At best, they simply have a fan over the stove which does nothing but just blow the air (and leaking gas) around in your kitchen.

That said, I've put off getting an air fryer because I simply don't have the counter space for one. I live in a condo with a smaller galley style kitchen - there's just nowhere for me to put it. I do however frequently use my toaster oven as opposed to my main oven. It's simply faster for me to broil stuff than waiting for my main oven to heat up properly. It also has a convection setting, though it doesn't seem to be anywhere near as intense as an air fryer.

I'm sorry, no. If I can't make Pancakes Barbara in it, be I find it a frivolous purchase.

How would you bake a cake in this thing?

My cook refused and the scullery maid threatened to quit.

Of course we never seriously considered it.

Oh, and the OP is an idiot.

The only time I could tolerate this sort of thing would be with the Allies standing at the gate of Auschwitz.

[quote]A gas stove used to prepare a family lunch in the summer in the South heats up a kitchen something terrible.

This dumb shit right here. Hey, genius. Intelligent people don't bake a cake or cook s turkey in 105 degree weather. We eat salad and sandwiches, you know things that don't required heat.

You’re dumb shit, R68. This whole thread is dumb shit. If you have an air fryer and like it, use it. Who the fuck cares.

Another counter space gobbling appliance. No thanks and you can't do a turkey or rib roast in it.

[quote]Perhaps some of you freaking out over gas stoves might want to browse the numerous videos on Youtube of peoples entire houses being completely decimated due to gas leaks. Non-gas ovens/stoves are simply safer imo

That tiny fraction of mishaps are the fault of idiot owners.

I lived in Italy for decades and never saw an electric range. My oh my....how do they survive?

Gas is the chefs choice for cooking. Easier to control the temp. I love gas. Alas, in my new corp apt, it's electric.

[quote]Since it is only my partner and I,

Oh, dear!

[quote]electric ovens always lie about the temperature.

So do gas ovens. I was intrigued by the Anova oven -- it claims to be able to achieve the exact temperature you choose.

I was recently given an induction hot plate, and it is incredible. It is easy to clean, uses way less power than my electric stove burners, heats quickly and evenly, and doesn't scorch the bottoms of my pans. I used to wish that I could go back to gas, but I am all in for induction now.

Amazing how quickly this has changed. Just 3 years ago when I was buying, realtors said people want gas stoves because they are better for cooks. I was wary of buying a house without a gas stove. Now it’s almost the opposite. Amazing.

[quote]It’s a ten-in-one cooker that can steam air fry, steam bake, steam, grill, air fry, bake/roast, dehydrate, sear/sauté, slow cook and make Speedi meals

– and burn your entire house down in less than 15 minutes!

Charlotte Rae would have loved to have said goodbye to her oven.

It's ugly as fuck.

On the other hand, if I needed to centrifuge a batch of blood samples...

It seems to be directed to the one pot food machine crowd: throw everything into one pot or receptacle, close the lid, and select a number from 1 to 88. Serve slop to lucky children and mate.

Big hood vents are just smoke-eaters pulling air through filters. An electric oven doesn’t throw leaks and vapor into an unventilated kitchen.

Perhaps that’s the real reason they sell open plan kitchens.

Nothing can replace my gender neutral Easy Bake oven...

I already fell for an air fryer, which I used a few times ( and isn't any faster for many things), an Instapot which I gave away after watching some videos, a breadmaker, a slow cooker and I'm sure I'm forgetting some things.

I'll stick with my gas stove, and Weber gas grill.

I adore my vintage Chambers gas stove.

[quote] Instapot

Oh, dear.

r83, I don't know if that was a joke or not, but that is a beautiful stove!

Technology Connextras take on this.

What is a "hob"?

The review says "t means you’ll always end up resorting to a hob or microwave for your side dish."

Assuming it is a UK term?

Hob is UK for cooktop

Thanks R88

Will it sanitise my silicon sex toys?

I think this combi oven is a nice appliance but really unattractive. The SortedFood guys tested an Anova combi oven this week, which is huge and costs well over a grand. The chef on the team kept disparaging it but it won him over in the end. Gadgetry of this sort isn't made for chefs but for ordinary cooks who want easier and better results.

The most heinous cooking task is continuous stirring and I've not heard of a device that can reliably replace that function. Nothing on Amazon that does that gets great ratings.

Which Anova oven? The only one I've heard of is this one, which is well under $1K.

Why are all induction stoves so ugly and futuristic looking?

I think that Smeg makes the most beautiful looking kitchen appliances. Like this oven

Or this one

Microwave

Induction stove

I can't get past the name.

Or this one

Another one

Because, r93, they are the future. Beauty though is in the eye of the beholder, of course.

Fifty years from now, gas stoves will viewed as anachronistic as coal and wood stoves are today.

Yes, the name is a bit odd

R101 But coal and wood stoves still look beautiful today

Smeg products are amazing. I’ve been aware of them for years and thought eventually I’d grow up and get over the name.

Nope. Not yet.

But WAIT !, There's MORE !

I'm sorry, R92, I must have confused it with this model.

We've had four long power outages this Winter. Until we get upgraded grids, I'll take my gas stove, thank you very much. I can cook by candlelight and warm up one room in the house.

I just bought one, they're on sale at Target right now. I'm not going to be "giving up my oven" any time soon, but I'm super excited to see what this baby can do!

sexy!

The advantage is that you can steam and fry at the same time with the same appliance. You're using less cookware and less energy, I'm guessing, with less clean-up. I hope the folks on this thread who bought it enjoy it. Please report back.

Yes, let us know how it goes, r108.

R111 Okay I will! It's sitting in the box in my kitchen. Trying to come to a definite decision about what I want to make first.

The device I want probably doesn't exist-a pizza oven that goes up to 900 degrees, a steam oven for baking, a rotisserie, a grill, and a smoker. I have a tiny patio and no yard so it's not to be.

Are Smeg owners smug?

Not all of them, but they are uncut.

Let us know if you decide to say goodbye to your Speedi, R108.

R107 Modern integrated gas ovens won't work without an electricity supply for the fan. I have had two with with electrical faults that it was cheaper to scrap than repair.

You said exactly what I’ve been needing to hear, R82. I’ve been on the fence about buying an air fryer for weeks and usually conclude that the size of the basket is the deal breaker, but the memories that really haunt me are the juicer, panini press, and slow cooker. Each used fewer than 5 times.

Not to mention that I’ve never made chicken wings or French fries in my life, so how much do I really need a device that’s most highly praised for quickly producing those exact things?

R118, thanks. Fries are maybe 10 minutes faster- but I'm never in that big of a hurry.

I was using the oven and air fryer at the same time, because anything bigger was a countertop eyesore. . On the warm days which are rare at the beach, I BBQ which I do all year long in any case.

R113, you can do all those things (minus the steam baking) on a good gas grill. My pizzas come out great and I bought the rotisserie attachment.

[quote]I lived in Italy for decades and never saw an electric range. My oh my....how do they survive?

Same here in Brazil. What do you think about his thing, Greg?

Frozen French fries have been perfected. They cook in any old oven. Start the oven and begin roast some vegetables. Bake a frozen fish entree at the same time. Add the fries at the appropriate time. Hey, get fancy and use the BROILER to finish the fish and vegetables. Imagine that. And it will all taste delicious. French fries are delicious garbage food so don't eat them all that much, anyway. Serve with fattening dipping sauces and something piquant such as spoonful of mango pickle. Demi-sec bubbly.

[quote] I hate gas. It's horrible to clean. Induction is way better.

I agree. I have induction cooktops. They get very hot quickly and I love how easy they are to clean.

This device that the OP posted about?

I do not approve.

👎

Good fries don't need any dipping sauce, fattening or otherwise.

no one mentioned the nonstick coating of those new food devices (instapot, air fryers...) something tells me none of them are actually safe regardless of what they claimed, no this chemical or no that coating, but they just use a slightly different chemical currently not listed as health hazard but that can change in the future, just like Telfon/PFOA, not that long ago they were ultra safe now completely banned!

[quote]Not all of them, but they are uncut.

He most likely is.

Vittorio Bertazzoni CEO of Smeg

I never made frozen egg rolls, samosas or onion rings in my life, but the air fryer really makes them delicious. We do frozen fried cod and butterflied shrimps once a month. Whole Foods and Trader Joes have delicious entrees. There are ceramic coated baskets so no need to use Teflon. If you're a serious cook, buy an oven with a convection setting or get a toaster oven with an air fryer settling. It's nice for crisping things.

The Speedi thing is about getting dinner on the table quick. I don't need to do that anymore because I work remotely but I certainly see why someone would find it useful. Reddit has a group devoted to steam combi ovens so if you're tempted, hang out there and check the pros and cons.

Perfect for super tender ribs!

Why does it have to be so ugly? And have such a stupid name?

R30 - and why is it the general public that has to make all the sacrifices to stop contributing to global warming? What about the huge, rich mega-corporations that get billions in tax breaks every year? When do we see their contributions?

Such a scam, all these ad and political campaigns directed at the public, shaming them into participating in essentially useless austerity bullshit. It's a brainwashing tactic, manipulating the public so they move through life in a fear-based manner, motivated by scarcity and lack programming.

Did Nicki Minaj really come up with that thing all by herself, or is she just landing her name?

I’ve been using the Speedi for a few months and really love it. I’m by means a cook, but there are so many videos on YouTube that are easy.

The clean up is very easy. Yes, it’s huge — but, for me, so much more efficient than using my oven.

I'd be very happy never to have to clean my oven ever again.
