The hotplate side could have easily been a 1000w coil and the "sandwich maker" side could have been a similarly powerful single-sandwich sized press, but the manufacturers seem to have totally cheaped-out and taken shortcuts for both parts. I wonder what's inside, providing the heat to the the plate on the right? Doesn't seem to be a coil or induction hotplate for the heating (it would be more even), I wonder if there's just a really big lightbulb, like in the old Easy Bake toy oven?

The problem was not pre-heating the pans. Anything you cook with, you always need to pre-heat your pans regardless of included instructions. My suggestion would be to use the "mini kitchen" as you would any cook top, but with SMALLER portions, because the cooking surface is smaller, thus less or lower heat temperature, i.e. LONGER cooking times. Also, covering the small fry pan with a lid would probably help a little bit.

ive seen this reviewed by asian youtubers and for that home size and that food it makes sense, they use a ton of fish and vegetables that dont take too much heat to cook

Both the griddle and the frying pan combined have less wattage than a hair dryer.

It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison of a machine like this (but probably not this one) with an ordinary small single or double burner hot plate. None of the machines you've tested so far seem to be worth the purchase price, and it looks like an ordinary hot plate would be the best option.

I can see the issue with the uneven pan side - the pan is thin and cheap and uneven when it warms up so you will get cold spots. If there was a slightly thicker pan it'd cure that. I'd be intrigued if there's some Japanese company that's done something like this for their home market rather than built down to cost Chinese stuff.

Would there be power issues from using both sides? Would the hotplate cook better if you weren't using the griddle for example?

It is an interesting idea, but it's a little...half baked.

I'm guessing the warm milk is the higher temp option and the cooking is the low temp for the pan side? Also I'd definitely pre-heat despite the instructions telling me not to. But yeah you're definitely better off with a traditional hot plate.

I'm wondering if when you run both burners at the same time if the frying pan side simply gets less energy/heat? Maybe it cooks at full power if only one side is turned on at a time?

Reminds me of the little single electric burner that I bought. It has levels 1 to 5 and off, but it seems like if you don't want to spend an hour to boil a pot of water, it has to be on 5. Even then, it just gets to whatever temp and the light goes off, and stays off 5 plus minutes. Tried to make a single package of hamburger helper in a skillet on it once, and instead of the done within 25 minutes, this burner took over an hour for the same job. As a comparison, my Chef Man electric skillet also turns off and on, but can make a single box of hamburger helper in a fair 40 minutes including the waiting for the heating element and the time out to drain the grease.

This is something to be used in a pop up camper or camping. I think I’m a situation like that where you don’t wanna cook over a fire or something.

I had a friend who lived in a camper van who used something similar. He had a propane gas 3 burner stove and oven, but used an all-in-one for small things

I'm thinking the marks in the cooking pot are from the steamer tray. If all of the water evaporated while steaming that'll happen. Or maybe it's just from hard water? My electric kettle gets that all the time.

You can do most of that with a basic rice cooker, including the egg and the burger (probably not the grilled cheese), with less to clean and taking up less space. You would have to do them one at a time though.

I was hoping for a Really good review. That mini cooker would be great at work, if it worked!

I actually had one and it worked fine my kid took it away to cook in his dorm. But, you have to preheat the pot and frying pan side always, just 4 minutes before placing any food inside. Good for grill cheese, burgers and ham & cheese sandwiches. If you need boiling water for cooking, I suggest to do on electric kettle and then pour into the pot for steaming vegetables it will be fastest method and the lid to the pot fits the frying pan which helps when frying eggs.

It’s super cute and would maybe work ok for like precooked bacon and sausage and a beaten egg.

I like the colour. That's about it 😂

If it worked, it would be a great idea. I could imagine people living in college dorms or people living in hotels without kitchens loving a product like this.

This randomly popped up in my KZread recommended, but I'm glad I did. I just subscribed!

I wonder how well this would work if it used induction technology? The waffle side might benefit from an induction coil with a metal cooking insert on the bottom, and a standard heat coil in the top. The little burner would be great as an induction burner. I wonder if they can make them that small?

The "waffle" side looks like it would work well for making focaccia or corn bread, if someone didn't have an oven. Bake the focaccia or corn bread batter on that side, then slice cross-wise and fill with delicious sandwich ingredients. On the skillet side, do thinner, more crepe-like pancakes and fill with something yummy. Also, it looks like the skillet could easily hold 2 eggs, but maybe it would better with scrambled so the cook could be moving them around the pan to make up for the uneven cooking surface.

That's got to be for dorm rooms and apartments that come without kitchens. Not common in the US but more so in other countries but there are apartments that don't come with kitchens.

I have a unit which is the same as Nostalgia breakfast station with a griddle on top, a toaster oven big enough for2 pieces of bread and a coffee maker. Its a little bigger but works great

That would be OK for an RV or camper situation. Maybe a live-in van, but the stovetop would work just as well.

🤗Love the reviews... These are specific need items, that is the limitation you find - low wattage needs greater time to cook... Great review , please try reviewing Microwave pressure cookers - Nordic ware , silverstone, QVC 3 - 5 quart.

The part that looks like Forman grill, is a great idea. If I had that when I lived in my van. If they made the other side stronger so you could boil water faster. I'd get one .

for someone that has other options i think it sucks but if you have nothing else and you just need to get by then i think it does what you would need

Thank you for your videos.

The old collage dorm hack---an iron makes a wicked grilled cheese in a pinch.

Great idea , someone should make a more heavy duty one ...a little bigger and more powerful ...you can get very inventive if you dont have much . I had a NU WAVE OVEN in a studio apt I had , I loved that thing

The crispy parts of the grilled cheese is what makes it best.

I feel like pre heating would definitely help

I guess this is for a situation where you don't have a oven/stove? Combining things is usually worse than just buying separates... like a hotplate and a cast iron Dutch oven (that'll be roughly the same price and far more useful/versatile).

I like the cute tiny pot

Great for van living!

With the pancake mix, you can see where the heat center is under the pan - and it's definitely not in the middle!

I love the color

It would be much better to use very thin burgers, around 2 oz each, like the patties in a Big Mac. No thicker than that. Same thing for the pancake and waffle, should have used no more than half the amount of batter you used. That being said, I still doubt it would work very well and someone would be much better off just buying a Foreman grill or similar unit. But this video was hilarious as are some of the comments! 👍

The concept and the form factor are fantastic, and would be great in a dorm, a camper or other looked size living places. Unfortunately the actual build quality isn't there.

you needed to press the grilled cheese and lock the lid closed. That's why it cooked unevenly on side one and not on side two since then you flipped it, you did close the top. TY.

i think the amount of time it takes would use a lot of power so an air fryer and instant pot would be WAY faster and probably consume less power. We have one of the single burner camp things, too

Is this what you upgrade to after you conquer the easy bake oven?

17 minutes to boil water, you can take a regular fire and get boiled water in like 3 minutes, they need to go back to the drawing board with this

I'd love to try and make one of these that actually worked as advertised.

Great for camper!

if you don't have an oven just get an induction burner or reg burner and get a convection air fryer oven lol. You can bake and cook without any loss of function.

Residential circuit breakers have a continuous operating wattage of 1.5 kW (15 A) or 2 kW (20 A) as opposed to 1.2 kW, but you're not wrong; I also think the burners are trying to work at 750 watts each. If the power rating for the device is 1.2 kW, then the heaters could be running as low as 600 watts.
