Customer Reviews of Aroma Housewares AST-900E AeroMatic Convection Oven
Customer Rating:  Summary: Best ever! Comment: I got an Aroma Oven as a gift. I never knew such a thing existed. But this is the best electric oven ever made. It's not just a regular convection oven. The unique thing about the Aroma Oven is the fan that is contained within the heating elements. The way it works is that it blows super hot air in the cooker. Because the super hot air circulates inside the cooker, everything inside heats evenly, and also cooks faster too. The whole cooker remains relatively cool since the heat stays inside. It makes the tenderest of steaks. I've been cooking ribeye and filet mignon. It makes a great hamburger and grilled hotdog too. I've also put in a french roll with roast beef and cheese. In 5 minutes the sandwich is done. It heats up leftovers wonderfully. Leftover pizza taste like when it was just delivered. It's doesn't make it soggy like a microwave. I've recommended this to my friend. She is physically disabled and her meals are usually pretty bland and soggy. Now her caregiver can just put some chicken with seasonings in the cooker and it'll be ready in 20 or so minutes. She absolutely loves it. Cleanup is a breeze since the bottom part is made of tempered glass. If anything sticks just soak it in water for a little while and it'll come right off. The top/heating element rarely needs to be cleaned. If needed, wait for it to be cool and wipe it off with some cleaning solution. Customer Rating:  Summary: Very Very Loud Comment: This hunk of junk did not work from day one. It was so loud and my food was still cold after 20 minutes. I plan on returning this and getting the nu-wave Customer Rating: Summary: Great, compact, wonderful gift Comment: I am having my kitchen remodeled and this turbo oven arrived on the scene at just the right moment. We used it for 2 1/2 weeks and it was GREAT....the food comes out nice, crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, with some juices on the bottom for gravies. The cooking time isn't cut by that much but the convenience is well worth it...I'd really like to thank whoever suggested aluminum foil around inside while cooking as this has cut my cleaning time considerably! I bought a full sized convection oven but will continue to use this little guy for hot days when I can sit is outside and avoid heating up my house! The timer only sets for one hour which was inconvenient. Customer Rating: Summary: Item parts did not fit--returned Comment: This item when easily assembled did not fit, i.e., the 'oven' did not fit into the glass top hole. I called the factory customer service and they suggest that I return it as the parts were not fitting properly. I don't like paying and waiting, then having to return it before I get a chance to use it. I went to Sears and bought one with a self starting timer. Customer Rating: Summary: Not as good as I expected Comment: I am doing a lot of baking lately and decided to get a convection oven so I don't have to turn the large oven on every day in the summer heat. After reading the reviews and checking out interior dimensions of the countertop ovens out there I decided to go with the Aroma turbo oven. I got mine last Friday and a whole chicken just waited for the package to arrive marinating for a full day. I followed the instructions (10 min for every pound at 400F) and the top of the chicken came out wonderful, but the bottom was still raw. No big deal! Turned the chicken over and put it back to roast for 10 min/pound at 400F again. It turned out to be very nice, but the inside was raw, bloody bones here and there. So, I had to cut the chicken in half and put it back for an additional 15 more minutes to get the inside done right too. This was my first trial. Then the next day I went for baking cinnamon rolls, and that was a total mess. While the rolls on the top were done the bottom halves were raw. Had to turn them over and bake them again. They came out OK, but have no commercial look for sure. So, for the bread yesterday I went back to the regular oven and baked it there, as it is obvious to me that the fan does not circulate enough the air in the container to get the bottom done too. I just wonder if anyone else is having this problem, or I just got a faulty unit? More Reviews Broil, bake, fry, roast, boil, and grill. Easy-to-use dials with power and timer indicator lights.

Choosing Appliance -> Spoons Buy stainless spoons (both slotted and non-slotted) which are solid and won't bend no matter how tough the job. Also, buy several high quality wooden spoons for stirring delicate dishes like risotto (the sharp edge of a metal spoon would cut or bruise the rice). Choosing Appliance -> Whip / Whisk Many still consider a whip as a "gourmet" piece of kitchen equipment. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is as essential as a kitchen stove and should be in everyone's kitchen. Nothing works better for mixing a multitude of different preparations or for making sauces or gravy. Buy a solid stainless steel whip with moderately stiff wires. Very thin wires are for mixing delicate things like egg whites or whipped cream. Very thick, solid wires are for mixing stiff dough.

Useful info -> Is stainless steel really stainless? Choose a good quality sink to avoid problems later. Buy cheap and you will discover that stainless steel can stain and even rust! Mild acids such as vinegar will promote rust in stainless steel where the nickel content is low. Stronger acids such as those used by photo processors will have a detrimental effect on all stainless steels. |
