Anybody here got one? How do you like it? One of the ladies giving out
samples at Sam's Club had one and I was impressed with how well it
worked. Seems like just the ticket for baking in the summer.
I'm looking at used ones on eBay. Are any particular models better than
the others? The latest ones use a direct-drive fan instead of a belt,
but that's not necessarily a good thing if the motor runs hot.
Also posted in rec.food.cooking, but realized it might get lost in all
the noise over there :-)
Thanks,
Bob

Bob, I know a couple of people who have them and swear by them. The food
I've had cooked in them has been very good.

This is a valid point, but for me, since I have so many cooking toys, my
basement utility room has 11 shelf racks (floor to ceiling) dedicated to
the overflow storage that my kitchen can't hold. The box my JS oven is
in is about 20 x 14 x 9 inches, but I also have three rings to stow on
mine.

I site George Carlin from "A Place for His Stuff:"
That's what your house is, a place to keep your stuff while you go out
and get...more stuff! Sometimes you gotta move, gotta get a bigger
house. Why? No room for your stuff anymore.

It puts a fair amount of heat into the room so I don't think that you
get much benefit from that. However, you could use it out on the deck
if you had an outlet there.
The thing that I really like it for is what I call "air frying". You
can do french frys and things like breaded shrimp or fish sticks in
the Jet Stream and get the same crisp texture that frying will give
you without the oil, mess and smell. It's not exactly the same as
frying, but it's close enough. Just make sure to put things in one
layer on the rack so the air can circulate around them.

I bought an older model on eBay and it got here Saturday. It came with
one expander ring, the instruction video, manual, and some recipe cards.
It almost looks new, but actually it's about 15 years old.

I had one of the first Jet Stream units and I loved it. 2000 series I
believe
