Had to google 'Flavor Wave' and - Oh gawd - it looks very similar to a
gizmo I bought off a friend a couple of years ago - just a different
brand name.

She paid about US$320.00 for the damn thing back then and never used it.
I would *never* have paid that much money for something like that, but
I knew she needed the money (long story), so I offered to buy it from
her (for the purchase price). She knows I enjoy cooking so she jumped
at my offer...

Heh. It just takes up space in my cupboard; I've never used it either.
I'd give it away/chuck it out - but when she comes to visit and
realizes I've dumped it, she might take offense. Sigh.

But then again, I dunno. It came with an instruction manual/recipe
book - maybe I should try it out <grin>.
