I received mine today (yes, on Sunday thanks to Amazon). It seems to be about the size of a medium sized toaster oven. You can read the instruction manual at Qvc.com All you need to do is do a search for T-Fal Opti Grill. There is only one item that will appear. Press enter on the item number

Randy, my sister bakes hers in the oven and I've done the same. She said to bake it at 400 for 20 minutes; to be honest, to me that wasn't long enough. I have a pan with a drip tray so the grease falls to the bottom; it's a lot easier than frying on the stove and better tasting, I think, than

personally would cook this recipe for a shorter period of time and add some spices to it, maybe even just a pack of taco seasoning. I think that would give it some flavor. Just my thoughts. Charlotte - Original Message - From: sharon howerton shrn...@att.net To: cookinginthedark

I saw it today but wonder about the stickers included with the purchase. They were still in the sealed package. Do they have adhesive on them or do I need to get something (if so, what?) to attach them to things. I know someone on this list mentioned magnets; from where can those be purchased?
