Turbo Cooker 4-Piece Cooking System

Life-changing cooking system!
This is the best thing I have ever purchased, no joke. I don't know how to cook and was tired of pizza, basic pasta, take out, and frozen meals. The Turbo Cooker has changed my life! The recipes are extremely easy to follow (if I can do it, anyone can), and taste like some of the best meals I've ever had, even in fine restaurants. And most of them are good for you! I have lost over 20 pounds already cooking with this thing, and I don't feel I'm on a diet at all. The recipes serve 4-6, but they store for 2-3 days easily. The meals are delicious. And yes, you can really bake a cake on the stove top, it is an amazing cake, too! Try to buy the extra recipe cards, I have about 100, and they are great. That's the only word for it. Only two dish out of about 50 I haven't liked. It does not cook *quite* as quickly as they make out in the ads, and some of the prep time on the dishes takes about 15-20 minutes, but it is still very easy and faster than usual cooking. And the results...

Terrible customer service, cheap product
If you buy this thing, be careful of the lid. The plastic knob on top broke after only 3 months -- and it is useless without it. I have tried in vain to contact the company, they will not return phone calls or emails. The number is not toll free, and you must wait forever to get through...if you have enough time.
They say you'll save time in cooking, but they'll waste your time as you try to get customer service!
Their website makes no claims about quality, which I should have checked before buying this. I haven't had it long enough for it to start rusting (see comments below). I like the idea, I only wish the product was sturdier, and the company responsive to customers who have already purchased. I'm sure my calls would be toll free and answered QUICKLY if I were calling to buy their product.
The old adage holds true: caveat emptor.

A Real Time Saver
I have had a Turbo Cooker for over a year now and I am completely satisfied with the results. I really like the ability to toss dried pasta into a pan with other ingredients and have a complete meal in 12 minutes. It is however, a product that you will have to 'tinker' with to get good results. I have found that on my stove, using high heat for half the cooking time and medium high for the remaining time prevents burning of the food. The recipe cards are great and I purchased the additional set and these too, are very helpful. I would suggest that you use wooden or plastic utensils with the pan as most nonstick pans scratch when metal is applied to them.
Overall, if you are pressed for time or you want to cook something ahead of time, the Turbo Cooker will be a good investment.
