Foldtuk Roaster: Review and Giveaway

July 30, 2010 By admin

The FoldTuk Roaster will be a great way to cook, store and serve a fabulous turkey without taking up valuable kitchen space with a bulky roaster!

One FoldTuk Collapsable Roaster in Red, a turkey breast, and a day in the kitchen with Dad. About the FoldTuk Roaster:

“The Roaster (18 lb fowl and 20 lb roast capacity) by FoldTuk Kitchenware is another Cook-Serve-Store innovation able to withstand conventional oven temperatures up to 500F (260C). The clever elliptic cover can completely surround meat products and provide a moist, crispy, evenly roasted meal. The Roaster utilizes FoldTuk’s renowned “fold and tuck” technology, which in function expands the pan and cover to a fully opened position of approximately 9 inches in height and provides convenient adjustable heights for refrigerators. Yet, amazingly, this enormous FoldTuk Roaster takes up very little kitchen storage space when the pan and cover are collapsed to a height of less than 3 inches.”

Several months ago, I had the pleasure of reviewing a piece in the FoldTuk Bakeware line. I loved it then, and I can honestly say that I love it now. So, when I was asked to try the FoldTuk Roaster, I was all ears! Up until now, I have not owned a roaster. Our kitchen is fairly small, so finding a place to store a bulky roaster has been a deterrent from making the purchase. However, when the FoldTuk Roaster arrived, the collapsable technology makes it easy to store.

My husband and daughter cooked a turkey breast for dinner and it was absolutely amazing! The roaster was very sturdy and easy to put in and take out of the oven. After roasting, it can collapse to look like a platter! Straight from roasting to serving and leftovers can be stored in the same container! After cooking, the roaster was easy to clean due to it’s naturally non-stick surface (plus it is dishwasher safe) and quickly collapsed for storage. I couldn’t love it more!

Overall, I enjoyed using my FoldTuk Roaster. It was easy to use, easy to clean and easy to store (and at only 4.5lbs, it was easy to handle). I am amazed at how much the product can hold while collapsing down to a small size perfect for my small kitchen. The turkey came out moist and the design was pretty enough to place on the table for serving. The roaster can be purchased directly in red, blue or black for $80.00.

FoldTuk: Review and Giveaway

October 4, 2009 By admin 638 Comments

FoldTuk Kitchenware will be a great way to save time by allowing me to prepare, cook, serve and store my food all in one dish!

One Four Cup Rectangular FoldTuk Bakeware, the ingredients for a chili and cheese dip, a football game and my family. About FoldTuk:

“We strive to improve day-to-day food preparation kitchen products through technology and innovation by integrating multifunctional features and giving our customers the added value advantage for their investment.

FoldTuk is actually the first and only collapsible bakeware that can be used in conventional, convection, infrared, and microwave ovens due to its Green and petroleum free Ceramber material. It is airtight, stackable, dishwasher safe, and naturally nonstick (No non-stick coating applied), making it your most functional bakeware and cold storage container.”

One of the biggest compliments I can give the FoldTuk company is that your product inspired me to cook something! If you know me, I stay as far away from the kitchen as I possibly can. I do not have the best reputation for my meal creations and I despise doing dishes. But, when I was approached by FoldTuk, I was intrigued by the product and thought that my readers would love to know more about this product.

I received the four cup rectangular bakeware in red. When it arrived, it was in the collapsed form and was only 1 inch high! What a great space saver for my already cramped kitchen! Once I began to read the literature, I realized that FoldTuk was not your typical bakeware. You can prepare, cook, serve, store and reheat all IN THE SAME DISH! Not only does this make storing leftovers incredibly easy, clean up is virtually eliminated! You can use your bakeware in the oven (up to 500F), in the microwave and in the dishwasher and when you are finished, simply collapse the product and store until next use!

How is this possible? FoldTuk is made of a material called Ceramber (silicone and ceramic). While at first glance, the product may appear to be made of plastic, it is NOT, which will ease your fears of BPA leaching into your food. FoldTuk meets all FDA standards in its own product category.

I decided to cook a chili and cheese recipe I received from a friend while my family immersed themselves in Sunday Football (Geaux Saints!). I prepared the dip in the FoldTuk bakeware and baked at 350F for 15 minutes. The dip came out perfectly and was heated evenly. After eating, I placed the cover on the product and stored in the refrigerator. Tomorrow, my husband plans to transport the dip in the FoldTuk container, reheat in the microwave and serve to his coworkers…all without having to switch containers!

Overall, I enjoyed using my FoldTuk bakeware. I loved being able to use the same container for cooking, serving, storing and reheating. And being able to collapse the product for compact storage was a HUGE bonus in my book! Imagine is ALL my bakeware collapsed! My kitchen would be HUGE!! LOL!

FoldTuk products come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors including a six cup oval in blue, four cup rectangle in orange and four cup round in black to name a few. You can also purchase a FoldTuk Roaster for your holiday needs!

FoldTuk has generously offered one Not-So-Blog reader the same product reviewed here: the four cup rectangle!
