What the testers found

Tom's Guide rated it 4 out of 5 after two weeks: a whole chicken "was beautifully moist without drying out, and the skin was crispy," wedges came out crisp, and cleanup was easy. Its verdict: "a lot more hit than miss," with "excellent value for money." America's Test Kitchen rated it Highly Recommended; it "made evenly golden chicken cutlets." Compared with the Iconic, it has a matte finish rather than stainless steel, and its listing states no warranty.
