Another Very Flexible & Adaptable Small Appliance You Never Heard Of
Here is an another excellent example of an real from kitchenless to a tiny kitchenette food preparation alternative especially for people with no to limited kitchen access and/or no longer needs to prepare more food than for no more than 2 or so.. This appliance could also possibly be pressed for emergency use during unexpected situations (like blackouts) hooked up to an alternative power source. This style of food preparation/cooking does makes this activity/chore much more easier-or at least tolerable-to do in rather less than these ideal situations & circumstances either planned or unplanned. Which is incorporated into the these ultra portable “mini” type of LOW (generally around 500 watts and under) compact appliances.This particular one reviewed here covers the frying, stir frying, grilling spectrum well. At only 260 watts! It can also steam, rolling boil liquids, and warm up pre-cooked foods. Although as it’s advertised Ramen Cooker, not so much. I feel that it’s really much better at frying.I’ve been using the traditional, very basic 1 button/switch mechanical Rice Cookers for years to prepare most of my meals & snacks rather than on a more traditional stove. The only thing they could not offer me was a real true way to sizzle fry/griddle my foods. With this new MyMini appliance, I can do it all now very well without drawing too much power just like those much higher wattage type of appliances did previously!This little appliance is very unique in it’s design. It has 2 (!) cooking surfaces. The upper one has a removable skillet & glass lid (included in the box) which nestles into the lower plate. This lower one is simply a nonremovable flat griddle hot plate also intended for cooking. I chose to only use the upper part with the skillet to actually do all my meals in. I have also been purchasing SEPARATELY more pots/pans/skillets to cook a much wider variety of stuff from a camp kettle to boil water for tea/coffee to a tiny cast iron pan for grilling a hamburger pattie! All these accessories nestle very well into the lower level hot plate like a well fitting jigsaw puzzle piece or the included skillet & lid. Plus they all are much easier to clean after use.I also learned to cook my food in batches (first Teriyaki marinated beef strips, then carrots sliced at a approximately 45 degree angle as “chips”, finally thinly sliced mushrooms) as the tiny 5 inch diameter size of this unit cannot fit all the ingredients together at once. It might be a bit slow, but it works well. As you can see with my heaping Teriyaki Beef Plate just smothered with carrots and mushrooms. Though I did used one of the bit larger at 300 watts “6 cup” Rice Cooker I already owned to boil the Udon Noodles separately. I usually use 2 appliances as once to speed up the cooking process-just like on a multiple burners on a typical stovetop. And the result was so tasty. Without using any stovetop whatsoever.I recommend purchasing this product for yourself and for truly wonderful gifts for others.

Work Appliance
I got this sandwich maker for my wife for Christmas. She’s a teacher and likes how small and portable it is. She’s able to make quick warm sandwiches for lunch, with minimal clean up required! Exactly what she was looking for, and at a great price too!

Pot smaller than expected
The pot looks great, and works well. We love Ramen and I got this pot for my son to make himself his Ramen. Unfortunately, the square Ramen don’t even fit in the pot and the pot is not high enough to add something else like vegetables or anything at all. It’s just an inch high, which I found was very disappointing. It would’ve been the perfect pot if it would have been just a little higher so we can add water and our Ramen fits in there. Other than that great little gift.

Excellent mini electric skillet
This is awesome! I was hoping to find a small personal size electric skillet, and this fit the bill.First, there’s no way you can cook a normal size package of ramen in this. That is the only negative about this. It says you can cook ramen noodles in this but you really can’t.I’m using it to cook a small breakfast for myself and it is working perfectly for that.There is no on and off switch, plugging it in turns it on and unplugging it turns it off. Not an issue for me.I only cook in the insert for ease of cleaning. The insert and the lid can be washed normally, but if you cook in the main portion you have to wipe out the cooking area. You can’t immerse it to wash it.What I usually do is plug it in, add some bacon fat, put in whatever meat I am choosing to cook. In the video and photos I added diced ham and I cooked it until it was at the Dundas level I like. That I cracked an egg over it added salt and pepper and put the lid on. Once the egg was almost cooked I flipped it over with a silicone mini spatula, added some shredded cheese, put the lid back on, and unplugged it.The meal was cooked perfectly and clean up was simple.I would definitely recommend this for the type of cooking I am doing.

Perfect for ramen
I love this little thing. I got this for my son so he can do his ramen. It’s perfect for 1 pack. Kinda wish it was a little deeper to fit 2 packs. lol but no complaints. Very easy to clean and put up. Being in a small apartment this was perfect. It doesn’t take much space at all.

Very small but it works
It’s a mini pot/skillet, not sure what you honestly expect. No heat control but it heated up quickly enough and cooks well. Cleanup was easy, though I’ve yet to burn anything to it and where’s no weird residue or anything.Pot holds maybe a cup and a quarter? About enough for a single serving of ramyun and a bit of veggies and/or an egg/slice of meat but no more. Skillet cooked burgers well and evenly (beef, turkey, salmon, etc), eggs & bacon, sausage all good. Done oatmeal and cream of wheat in the pot but you can’t really look away because it has potential to boil over due to the lack of control. All in all you can cook a decent variety of things in a single serving but there’s not a ton of room so stir fry was out of the question.Anyone who says anything about ramen not fitting hasn’t paid attention. You have break the noodles first, and you won’t have a ton of broth that’s indeed true. Ramyun comes in a 2 serving size brick of noodles so this should be common sense if you eat the good stuff.Now my review is a bit low bc it came in a beat up box and missing one of the rubber feet so it wobbles horribly until I found something to put in its place. I like the product but the quality control leaves a lot to be desired.

It is really small, look at the plastic cheese for scale. Boils water not super fast or anything, like 5 minutes or so if I had to guess. The only thing I didn’t like as much was the length of the wire, it was like a foot long (~30cm). I’d much prefer a 3-foot long (~1m) wire for sure. Both the individual pan and the skillet itself have a non-stick coating and can be used to cook. Which is nice that I can still just use the bottom piece on its own.Honestly she is beautiful. I bought this one for about $20 second-hand which is not something I usually do on Amazon but $30 difference compared to “new” and here we are. It came with a bit of scratch, definitely not new for sure but is functional and clean.It helps when I’m in uni all day and can’t get any sort of hot food without spending money. After a bit of that I’m starting to feel like I was running low on money. Then I thought to get one of those “electric hot pot” but those seemed to be too big for carrying around on campus all day. And those were usually a single piece meaning you’ll have to be careful about cleaning, making sure not to have water in the outlet hole etc. I got this one after looking around for a bit, I think I made a good choice.It really depends on what you want to do with it. If your goal is to eat at your desk I recommend searching up “electric hot pot” and finding something bigger from there. If your goal is giving it to a child because they like to play with fire I’d trust anyone over the age of 14 to play with it along but you’d know your child the best, try it out yourself first. Anything before that age maybe give them a run down first and/or play with supervision because it does get to boiling levels of hot. Doesn’t help that its wire is super short.For me, it is especially useful because the only thing I want to achieve is to heat food on campus. The tiny wire doesn’t matter anyway because campus outlets are mostly all at desk level already. You can definitely make food with it from scratch which is what I did for a few days until I got bored of that because it does take a long time to cook from scratch, and it’s small so I got to cook 2 batches to get a full stomach. I think it’s all about the perspective. Like bringing food in those thermos containers only to have them radiate medium to sad levels of heat by the time you’re eating? Try to bring a plastic container of cold food and heat it up on campus with this bad boy. Now you got just-coming-out-of-the-pan level of hot food. Those meat dishes that get soggy and oily over the course of half a day and even if you microwaved it you still feel sickening to eat them so then you just don’t bring those around anymore? Not a problem anymore. You somehow still bought food anyway but it got cold by the time you got to it for some reason? Disassemble whatever you got, pan, reassemble, boom. Impress all of your friends with it, nobody’s gonna think you’re weird when they’re eating cold food and you’re not. The list goes on. Go nuts with it.

Plugged it in for about 45 seconds and the outside became scalding hot – not warm, but stove top hot. Took 5 minutes to cool down enough to repack. This should be removed by amazon immediately.

I had one as a kid & decided to buy one for the nostalgia. It’s a bit annoying to clean because you can’t take off the plates but I just use a wet paper towel while it’s still hot. Cleans up just fine- worst case you wait for it to cool down. It does get properly hot, I wouldn’t let a young kid use it alone. Makes great grilled cheese!
