Kitchen Gadget Whoring

[justalurkr]

Normally US$139 on its own, I got the Tupperware® SmartSteamer, Smart Meals Recipe Book, 9-Pc. Accessory Set for Tupperware® SmartSteamer, Snack Cup Set and shipping for $134 and change. I feel Smug.

Not sure how long this sale is on, so if you've been jonesing for a plastic kitchen gadget endorsed by Dr. Oz, go get'm.

My question today, almighty flist, is directed at anyone who already has one of these or has been to a Tupperware® party with a demo or has better Google-fu than I. My mom's Weight Watchers leader is also a Tupperware® lady, and swears this makes the best microwave roast chicken she's ever had, but I cannot find a cooking time for that in any of the accompanying literature, their website or even on youtube.

If you have any knowledge of how to cook a whole chicken in one of these things, please share?

edited to add: it appears the answer for whole, cut up or single pieces is around 6 to 7 minutes per pound, checking doneness for the magical 165F. Actually, this might be the Oval Cooker. Still not sure if the same applies to the Steamer

Have you thought of calling tupperware tomorrow morning? They must have a customer service line. That, or call the woman who leads your mom's WWgroup.

No, because that would make too much sense. (facepalm)

If we were face to face, I'd have a bright smile (that actually makes me look demented) and I'd say "I have a lot of uncommon sense!"

And, thank you for the extremely sensible suggestion.
