The Nostalgia MGD5OR MyMini Personal Electric Griddle is the perfect appliance for those looking to lead a healthier lifestyle. Whether you're following a low-carb or Keto diet, or just want to make chaffles, omelets, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, quesadillas, cookies, or oranges, this electric griddle is the perfect choice. It's energy-efficient, easy to maintain, and provides even heating, making it one of the best Electric Griddles on the market. Plus, you can count on exceptional customer support to help you along the way. Amazon Customer: I bought this little cooker for a couple of reasons, primarily to cook an egg for my young granddaughter when she wants one and to cook simple ramen without having to get out and then clean a bigger pan. It seems to work well for both of these applications and many others. The specifics include:
- takes about 4-5 minutes to heat up in the "grill" mode and the blue indicator light will go out when it's at full temperature. The grill looks like it's non-stick, but it's not really. Just add a quick spray of cooking spray and it works great. You can make fried over eggs, sunnyside up eggs, or scrambled eggs easily. I suppose you can also make easy poached eggs with the pan mode, but I haven't tried that. The unit is too small to immerse a full egg to make hard boiled eggs.
- the pan only holds a bit more than one cup of water to cook the ramen in when the ramen is added, but that's fine for my tastes. It takes about 9-10 minutes to heat the water to boiling, but it develops a rapid boil from then on and cooks the ramen well.
Note that:
- there is no on-off switch, so you just plug it in to cook
- the cord is less than two feet long, so you'll need to be near...

Lindsey: I loved this but it kept blowing the fuse then after a few weeks became completely unusable as it would not work for a second without blowing the fuse. Tried all sockets and its the only appliance that does this. Such a shame as it was perfect size. Colour greener than photo

Busy buyer: Beautifully designed, gorgeous mint green. Both bottom and top hot plates heat up. Very quick to make a tasty snack.
Just don't overfill your sandwich, otherwise you cannot clip it closed.
I use it quite often.
I'm pleased with this little kitchen gadget/ appliance.

JoanRC: My Nostalgia mini skillet is the best kitchen purchase I've made in recent memory. Originally, I just wanted something to boil water beside my computer where I can keep an eye on it. We recently moved from a house with a gas stove to an apartment with an electric stove, which takes longer to heat up and boil my coffee water. I would walk away and forget about it. When I saw the multifunction capabilities of this unit, I bought it.
So far, I have cooked a sausage and egg breakfast with hash browns, an omelet, a muffin, a breakfast bun, a flat bread with cheese and mushrooms, and a stir fry. These are small portions, so are only a snack (which I make when my other roommates are hogging the kitchen) unless you also have a side dish such as salad or sandwich. The stir fry was poured over cooked barley which I always have on hand in the fridge. Originally, I had been concerned that, due to the high heat and lack of heat controls, thicker foods such as the muffin and bun would burn on the bottom and remain uncooked on top. This did not happen. Both items cooked through properly. The bun, of course, did not get crusty on top as this is not an oven - but the sides and bottom did.

Pryncess37Pryncess37: *Initial Experience*
I’m rating this appliance 4 stars due to the product received arriving with a skillet pan upon which the lid could not fit ((pictured)) as the pan was irregularly shaped upon arrival - one side being round, the other being more of an oval. Additionally, post trying the product (the which I had not done prior to coming to an agreed upon resolve regarding the aforementioned with Amazon Customer Service), the indicator light did not turn on at any time while the unit was plugged it. Considering this item was ordered via Amazon Warehouse ‘Used - Like New’,
I cannot say what factors played a part in the product being in the condition it was in upon arrival - the listing only noting the original box was damaged.
Although damage to the actual product, to include the indicator light malfunction was not listed, this rating only deducts 1 star as I truly appreciate the Amazon customer support rep that assisted me - helping make a not so pleasant experience buying an electrical cooking appliance from Amazon Warehouse for the first time brighter by extending a “one-time curtesy”…
Now to the good stuff about the Nostalgia MyMini Electric Skillet...

hardwork: This is a fun little appliance that gets the job done. I bought this when I lost the electric circuit that my microave sits on. Until the electric company can come out and go up their pole to replace their equipment, I needed something electric to heat some small things in. This appliance fits the bill.
I use it to prepare Mac n Cheese cups, the kind that you add water to the fill line and put in your microwave for a period of time. Instead of the microwave, I put the contents into this little pan and heat it that way. Comes out perfectly. I also heat water, and have cooked Klondike Flap Jack cups in it, same way. It all works out great. I have heated chili in it, too.
This little appliance heats stuff rapidly, much quicker than the microwave. So far, I have no issues at all of getting the food out of the pan, and the cooking surface stays clean. Even if it appears that something is cooked on, it's not. Just fool with it a little, and the whole bottom will come out intact, at once, and you can eat that, too.
This appliance is small. It isn't going to cook a lot at once, but for spot meals, or tiny meals, it works. The one thing that I would caution on is the...
