Well, Target came to my rescue. I purchased one without even thinking about it, even though we had only come to look for a tortilla press (which are nearly impossible to find, let me add).
Well, on our way home from our Slipknot, Disturbed, etc. concert (yes seriously - I was given free VIP tickets through my work, probably because no one else wanted them, so Klif and I decided to go make fun of people for an hour or so before giving away our third row tickets to some old guy and his kid) we stopped by Marsh and Joe's to stock up on ingredients for two of the recipes from the book.
As soon as we got home we started cooking! I made Chiken Cordon Bleu on one side of the well, and started it right away since it had to cook longer. It took me whole 2 minutes to prepare, slicing open the chicken, folding together some ham and provolone (no swiss plz) and shoving it inside, and rolling the chicken in italian break crumbs. While that cooked I started on the other side. It was a thin sliced top round sanwhich steak which I layed flat on the cutting board and covered with this sort of paste that I made out of water, italian bread crumbs, mushroom, and onion. I then topped it off with some parmesean and mozzarella cheese, rolled it up like a jellyroll, and threw it in the other well. In seven minutes diner wass ready!
Let me tell you, that was the best chicken breast I have ever had in my life. It was perfectly cooked, jucy, and just all around delicious.
We've made quite a few things since then. A breakfast biscuit like creation with bacon an cheese, and my favorite - perfectly poached eggs!
I'll keep you updated as we experiment more (p.s. - don't you love the 60's stoneware?).
