The perfect oven, toaster and rotisserie

This is what I wanted for Christmas, an all in one oven that gives me the convenience to toast bread, bake cakes and pizzas, grill and roast meats of my choice like the restaurant rotisserie.

I like the user friendly knob and temperature setting that gives accurate baking time for each of my meals. The inner space was big enough to put in 2 large pizzas and muffin tray that my old oven couldn't fit in.

The rotisserie skewer was solid, sturdy and the pans were easy to clean, no scrubbing needed.

It doesn't make any irritating noises that my old oven did and gave a "ting" ringing bell when it is done.

Beef recipe

Garlic BBQ Beef with Mini Potatoes
Garlic BBQ Beef with Mini Potatoes | Source

I had bought countless of plastic handle potato peeler that goes rusty even though it was stated "Stainless Steel"

Fed up with the cheapskate peeler, I bought this Uberchef peeler which proved to be the best and doesn't rust at all.

The handle is sturdy, the blades are super sharp, so be careful not to put the peeler in the drawer where you mess with the fork and spoons. Might cut your fingers.

Better hang the peeler after wash with the loop of the handle.

The peeler peels the skin of potatoes, finely, clean cuts and no teeth marks.

Finally found it online McCormick Cajun Seasoning, the perfect all in one seasoning for any meat recipes.

It came as the picture had shown and was prompt at delivery.

It isn't so spicy, which suited well for my kids and my whole family. Add in a few dashes over the chicken fillet and grilled the chicken which turned out just nice, not much charred meat.

Taste great, no MSG and perfect, just like fast food restaurant food.
