5 Minute CleverChef

There are no limits to what you can make in this thing. Pies, omelettes, pizzas, brownies, cakes……sausages…. It’s so much fun. Everything turns out perfect. It never leaks, no matter how much I cram in there, the well around the edge catches any overflow and cooks it as well. At the moment I am enjoying an inch thick apple pancake. I flip it a… Read more ·  1

couple of times when cooking, it has feet on both sides to do just that. You can make great chocolate chip biscuits in it, the king size kind. I don’t know how long they last, I have only had it a month, but it has never left the countertop since I unboxed it.

Edit…. I thought I would add a hint or two….if you are making something with a dough that rises,a cookie, a cake, even bread, surprisingly, don’t latch it down, give it room to rise as much as it wants. I usually fill up the bottom half and it rises to fill the top, and even sometimes pushes the top up a bit. If you’re doing a bread dough fil it a little less as a yeast dough rises a bit more. It makes a lovely crusty roll thing though. However allow a little more cooking time for things that rise, like cakes. Do the toothpick test. My giant chocolate chip cookie takes about 7 to 8 minutes and is about an inch and a bit thick. Same with stuffed pancakes and waffles. Cake and baking mixes work very well. So do pancake mixes. Flipping the machine over once or twice speeds things up but is not mandatory.

These things make Beatiful omlettes, they are the best, however...they are so precious to clean. I have gone through my third one in as many months. They are poorly designed, everytime you wipe it down to clean it with a wet sponge, the water runs down the back and into the electrics and fries it. $180 ($60ea) and each one in the bin. I will not be buying another one of these till they sort this issue out. Show details

Could have bigger sides to stop over flowing with 2 egg and a little bacon Show details ·  2

Excellent service and I am very happy with the CleverChef. I have cooked: cheese toasties; eggs a couple of times and fresh Salmon - does a great job with the cooking. Look forward to trying other things as well. Very easy to clean up with the plates popping out easily, wash under hot water, dry them and they are ready to pop back in again. … Read more ·  3

The machine itself is an easy wipe over when the cheese runs out! So far, we have enjoyed what I have cooked in the CleverChef.

I love my Clever Chef. It is so easy to whip up an omelette - with all sorts of other flavours - I now eat more eggs but am trying other delights to test this great new cooking method. My sister ordered one today when I told her how great it is… Go team Clever Chef - love your work! Show details ·  1

I love my clever chef. I have made omelletes, fried eggs and toasted sandwiches and was amazed at the speed and more importantly the taste of the end product. I have yet to try the lava cake because I didn't know what "pop"was. - simply a soft drink as we call it in Australia. Show details ·  1

I bought one of these from Aus Post on 4th May and was in love with it initially, so used it each day for an easy dinner & lunch for myself. Unfortunately, with each use, food began to stick more & more, despite me spraying it with oil beforehand. I returned it & got a refund on 9th of May after reading similar reviews on here with others… Read more

struggling with the same issue. The woman at Aus Post was not happy & said they'd sold heaps with nobody else returning one, but I told her I wasn't the only one with this complaint & to check for herself online. Unfortunately I didn't think to take any photos of how bad the food was stuck - I had a real job of getting it clean to return it but maybe should have left it as was, as evidence? The recess for food & egg is also too shallow, as others have reported. I paid $60 for mine, which in hindsight was very expensive for such a cheaply made piece of junk. I've seen it going for $80 elsewhere too. Please, don't waste your money on one of these. I would have given it 0 stars if I could have.

I'm surprised Consumer Affairs allow this product to stay on the market. I make terrific omelettes usually but not in this Cleverchef. It's the worst omelette I've ever tried and consequently I didn't eat it. It doesn't have an on/off switch. You have to turn it on and off at the wall. It's very easy to burn yourself, which I did. There is… Read more

no timer on it nor is there a settings control. I could go on and on about what I don't like about Cleverchef but I really can't be bothered. As far as I'm concerned the whole thing is a bad joke .

Absolutely a waste of money. My omelette was so rubbery it was inedible. I can’t even make a cheese toasty because the top & bottom base are so narrow you cannot fit a single slice of bread in it. On the tv ad it shows a cooked steak. Unless you cut a raw steak in half there’s no way a steak will fit, nor a chicken breast. Why make the product so shallow, so narrow & short? Talk about false advertising. Show details

I want to do an update on my review. I’ve experienced with smaller pieces of salmon and chicken that fit and having success. What I didn’t mention last time was the problem with cleaning. The best thing I’ve discovered however is to wrap the meat in baking paper. Cleaning is now a breeze. I’m now using this item. Having said all that I still wish I’d not bought it.

Love it! So easy to use, easy to clean and easy to store. Will be taking away in our caravan for great breakfasts and whatever else. So far omelettes and fried eggs. Show details ·  1

Very fast delivery, product as described, heats up quickly, cooks evenly, the non stick surface is great for eggs of any description, I find a small amount of water works better than spray, using it nearly ever day Show details ·  1

Love the clever chef. Have cooked a couple of omelettes and a toasted sandwich. So quick, easy and yummy. Once it cools down just wipe it out and put it away. 5 stars ⭐ Show details ·  1

The product was a great buy. I have made omelettes, wraps and toasted sandwiches so far. Looking forward to experimenting more. My disappointment was the attitude of Global Shops customer service team. I called to query when the product was going to be sent. I found the customer service person to be rude and not wanting to engage in my questions. Not sure if I would use Global Shops again due to the experience. Show details ·  1

I bought the Clever Chef because I'm a single older person who doesn't eat big meals & I thought it'd be very handy but it's turned out to be the most useless appliance I've ever bought. First omelette I made looked so good when I opened the lid & I thought wow that's great. It had puffed right up & lifted it out & put it on a plate, got a piece… Read more

of toast from the toaster & went back my plate where the omelette had completely deflated like a balloon pricked with a pin. I really wish I'd taken some pics but didn't think of it at the time. It looked very unappetising & was rubbery to eat. Then I made some scrambled egg for the dog. It turned out fine but OMG how finicky to try to stir the eggs in that tiny little space. Why on earth didn't they make it bigger & deeper? Even for me I could easily eat 2 omelettes the size it makes but that means I cook one & eat it then go back & cook another one & that's not something I'd do.

I really loved this product, used it tonight and bang huge explosion,so disappointed this happened, no warranty for it now….so will start looking for another brand hopefully it will be a better quality…..l did love the fast cook… Show details ·  1

Placed the order email stated 28 delivery, then 2 weeks later I called for a update and was told there is none in the country and could be another 2 months before it will be delivered, I asked how can an item be advertised when it’s not in stick, the customer service team member laughed, I asked for a full refund that took 4 days. This isn’t the first time this has happened. You can rest assure I will never buy anything from this company again. Show details

Great product, does exactly what it says it does. Perfect for a quick omelette and great for cheese toasty. My only comment would be the size, would be great if it was just a little bigger and square, but this is just a personal preference. Show details ·  1

The 5 Minute CleverChef is exactly what I needed and works exactly as advertised. I am 101 years old and have home care daily. My carers love using the CleverChef and have made me some delicious meals. My friend printed the digital recipe book for me. Thank you for a wonderful product. Show details ·  1

Received this morning. Cooked one omelette and then it stopped heating up, so I couldn't cook anything else. Very disappointed. I think there must have been a broken wire. Global shop direct offered me a refund or a new clever chef. I chose a refund. Five stars to Global Shop. Show details

Heats quickly and cooks evenly. Slightly smaller than anticipated - can only make a 1 egg omelette at a time. Cleans up easily. Great choice for a single, or use in caravan etc. Show details ·  1
