9. The Turbo Cooker
“Cathy, you’re 100% right. You’ve got the cards, you don’t need me anymore.”
I wanted to hate the idea of the Turbo Cooker since I am a cooking equipment purist who hates unitaskers like the Super Slicer, but the Turbo Cooker could be incredibly useful for the introductory cook. I also appreciate how versatile it is for a simple pan—host Cathy Mitchell says you can do everything from cooking a whole chicken to steaming vegetables to baking cupcakes. But for some reason, this infomercial is obsessed with getting you to stop using oil for cooking and start using diet soda for baking. Bizarre.
