I live in a travel trailer and eat fast food a lot because so hard to cook in it, after watching your review of the Range mate pro I bought one, I can't even tell you the wonderful food I'm now eating... I'm sure my family is tired of all the pictures I send of my wonderful meals.
Thank you for a great review...
Sherri B. this made me happy :)
Wait until your microwave dies!
even reading this a year on this made me very very happy :)))
This is really nice to hear. It reminds me that even though I may not need what James' is reviewing, there's always someone out there that does.
That makes me happy to hear @Cherie B.
The range mate is better due to the grill curves in the cooking surface. It allows air to get under foods to make them crispy, and the ridges get hotter because all the heat travels up them.
Morrius07 Has anyone tried the marshmallows for a toasted effect in the Range Mate yet? It’s the 1st review that I have seen/heard for the Rangemate product. I’m in agreement with another previous poster regarding its size. Although the price ($80) is a bit steep for me.
BTW, were those beers up on the cupboards to drink or showing off that you had finished drinking? Either way, my hubby would give u a thumbs up.
@@catw6998 If for some reason there is only a microwave available to you, the Range Mate Pro replaces the oven and frying pan, so it might still be a compelling offer.
This is going to sound weird but I get a very calming vibe from watching your videos. For some reason you remind me of an illusionist/magician. Anyway great reviews.
dsb188 it’s the hair
Same here, he's not acting like a complete jackass or yelling and trying to be funny. He actually spends the video reviewing the product. BRAVO I say. :)
Agreed. A kind of a Bob Ross vibe going on. Great quality and trustworthiness.
I feel so much better after his videos because their diets in contrast to mine make me feel much healthier 😂😂
Weed works better
To reheat pizza I just put it in my toaster oven for a few minutes and it comes out nice and crispy
Jake Higgins Toaster ftw!
Or just a regular oven. You don’t even need to preheat. Just toss it in and turn the oven on. Of course, I just usually eat it cold cuz I’m lazy. 😂
@@meandmyEV Blasphemy! I'd rather have soggy microwave pizza than cold pizza! I just throw it in a frying pan on high for a minute, flip it for 30 seconds. Perfect. If you can't flip it, you can nuke it for 30 seconds before the frying pan. 😁👍
🤯🤯🤯 mind blown
I put it in cast iron pan. Boom. As good as fresh.
Don't use full power in the microwave to reheat pizza. Use the defrost setting. Defrost, for me, uses a power on then off cycle. Gentler heating and time between microwave bursts to let steam dissipate. Much better results....try it and see if you agree..
You have changed my life, Bad Billy. Thank you!
@Bad Billy that's awesome tip! How long do you put it on for?
"I'm kinda curious what these taste like cold..."
*takes bite of french fry*
"........No. No."
hahaha
Hahahah. Same here. Deadpan delivery was great!! :)
BAHAHAHA!!! "I'm gonna do it again!" I love this guy! My kids and I sit and watch your reviews when it's too hot to play outside and they love them as much as I do,your videos are very calming and informative and you take people's opinions into consideration AND redo a review if you did it wrong. Nice work!
easily your best outro yet. i can see you getting comfier and comfier on each episode. great work. please continue to include pricing information too. thnx
You're not supposed to use slice cheese in a grilled cheese???? I was unaware of that. Who ever said that didn't grow up broke.
Mike Blarney, I guess they say you're not supposed to use slice cheese in a grilled cheese. He did not say what You're supposed to use. I agree that the pad or the bread should have been buttered, but maybe that's not his thing.
Watch again, he did butter the bread.
Yeah no kidding. We ate a lot of cheap sliced cheese on our grilled cheese sandwiches.
I grew up with pretty wealthy parents and we used American cheese slices for grilled cheese. Don't think anyone used anything but sliced American cheese back in the 70s. Hell...I still do it that way! That is how it is supposed to be done. These days of having to have overpriced imported cheese to make a grilled cheese, is BS. When you make a grilled cheese, you want it how it was when you were a little kid.
☣ I blame food trucks! ☣
bretmaples Velveeta or commodity cheese are the cheese for grilled cheese sandwich.
I work at taco bell, the fries only hold for 20 minutes so they're definitely not going to be good overnight. Great review though!
You still work there?
@@ArchangelExile At least he gave away the cycle timing for fresh fries
Good comparisons. Thanks for the time and effort
A regular oven seems to still be the best option. It gets the crust crispy and can accomodate many more slices than any of the other options presented. I just reheat my pizza on a cookie sheet and I always get good results. If I'm feeling lazy, I'll add a layer of aluminum foil between the pizza and the cookie sheet. That way my only cleanup is to throw away the foil. Sure beats spending $40-$80+ on microwave dishes or air fryers. Plus, I don't have to find a space to store these "gadget" heaters.
A decent second option is reheating the pizza in a frying pan on the stove top. Again, it requires nothing more than what you already have in your kitchen.
a reheatza would be perfect for someone who lives in a dorm or RV trailer where a microwave is the only option.
Hi! I just discovered you as I was searching for purple pillow reviews and will keep watching you from now on. Just wanted to say 2 things... #1 I reheat pizza and other thing in my Good old toaster over for just 4 minutes and it comes out crispy and as good as the day before. I do put the leftover pizza in large ziplocks to keep them fresher and not get old looking from the cold in the fridge. #2 if anyone "must" reheat pizza in the microwave they should place paper towel at the bottom as well atop. TQ for the honest reviews and keep up the great work ;)
omg those tongs look cool as hell, can't wait to see the review on those
Me too!
Definitely cool, though they look like silicone. Every silicone spatula I've had starts melting around the edge using it with hot surfaces.
The jacket and sunglasses was a nice look on you to end the review! I'm definitely leaning towards the Range Mate Pro, because your review of it showed it to be more capable of achieving desired results and more versatile with other food options. Great review! God Bless to you and your family!
What cheese are you supposed to use on a grilled cheese? I've only ever had them with sliced cheese..
ItsAsia I love your icon because I freaking love Korea
Idkwhattocallmyselfsothiswilldo lol thanks. I got the nickname "Asia" because I was the only Korean kid in my city
ItsAsia Geez.
ItsAsia try havarti cheese and mild white cheddar
Velveeta
Excellent and fair review. Really went all out for this one. I'd definitely go with the reheatza simply because I like things not as blackened or as crispy as the range mate pro makes them. And otherwise the performance between the two isn't significant enough to warrant an extra 40 bucks for the range mate pro. As for the fries, I'm convinced that the only way to make fries crispy again is to deep fat fry them again like they were in the first place, but doing that just to reheat fries is silly so it's better to just eat them first. You just don't get the same taste and consistency via any other method, including an oven.
People make grilled cheese without sliced cheese? Savages. Sliced American cheese is the classic American grilled cheese.
American cheese is a Canadian invention. 🤭🤫🥴
Ew
@@TheRealSmithFamily No it's not lol. Switzerland was the country that made american cheese.
See. I don't eat slice cheese for anything.
That's what I was thinking.
I appreciate the pros and cons of both at the end. Especially cost break downs. 👍
Can you do the Liquid Dry Wall in a can. I'm curious to see if it really works. Love your reviews.
I honestly have no idea why I watch your videos, there’s just something about them that’s really enjoyable
I'm just glad you do watch them!
Did your son steal your hair James 😂😂😂
Hi, am going over some of your videos and was so happy when you said the pro did good. This is July 31,2022 and i just bought the Range Mate Pro,,,,,. Great Review. I am so happy!! God Bless.
Hey every since I saw your reviews I've watched almost all of them it's hard to keep up but I just saw a product called liquid dry wall I was hoping you could do a view because I trust your reviews and I've gone and bought products strictly off your reviews thank you so much for doing a great job keep it up.
Thanks for another great in-depth review. I always look forward to your reviews and appreciate how much time and effort you put into each one. I love my Range Mate!
5 A.M watchingsome dude eating pizza and grilled cheese sandwiches ,now I'm jonesing for some pizza 😕😕😕😕😕
Same
Excellent and thorough! I always look forward to your reviews James!
Hey I appreciate it!
I've got the power air fryer oven ( on your recommendation) and will be using it more for reheating over the microwave.
I highly recommend it. Reheat most of my food with it
I appreciate your use of a control in your experiments
I'm just convinced that you can't reheat french fries, no matter what device or method you use. I think they're just made to eat the minute you buy them because by the time you let them get cold, you're screwed.
mustang19898 depends on the fry but air fryers the best to reheat
Or maybe fast food isn't meant to be reheated after prepared at the 'restaurant'
Interesting. Never would've thought of that
7531monkey I agree. The air fryer not only crisps the fast food fries, but extracts the excess oil.
cold fries taste good. about the only fast food that tastes okay when cold
I just saw these show up at work last night and was hoping you would have a review soon. It's great to be able to tell customers what works.
Where do you work?
Your son looks like Shaggy and Velma had a son
Hah, his sister and I call him Shaggy all the time!
I was thinking oh, maybe he should get a haircut, like yours! And then we can change it to, " like father like son "! ( he can't go wrong there, can he?)
He got the Velma part from his dad
thats funny
Hahahahaah lol
I love everything about your channel. Great review as always!
Thanks Elias!!
What else would you use in a grilled cheese sandwich?
Theresa Robertson MOZZARELLA
I remember about 25 years ago there was an infomercial for microwave safe cooking foil. It came in 10" square sheets, and worked on the same principle as the silver cardboard that came with frozen pizza. That foil is no longer sold. And come to think of it, I cant remember the last time I saw frozen pizza with that silver cardboard.
Microcrisp presented by Cathy Mitchell on HSN?
I'll stick with my free-from-grandma toaster oven. Still watched and enjoyed the whole video though! I love authentic reviews.
@Vex Xen She's outlived all my other grandparents by 20 years & still does stuff like chainsaws trees. She's strict but kind. I'm sorry to hear about your grandma. She sounds like she was well loved in life & beyond.
Thank you for reviewing the reheatza, I have one, haven’t used it yet & I can’t find the pamplet that came with it. But since I watched your review maybe now I can.
Pizza is great if you use a dry skillet on medium and put the pizza on it and cover loose with foil. Makes the crust nice and crispy. Thats the best way i know without having any of those gadgets.
Cam 9 try it with a skillet sometime it takes about 5 mins, its makes even shitty pizza taste better
Same here but no foil. It even makes really crappy pizza seem more edible.
Don't forget to drink your Cyanide I cannot recover from the awesomeness that is your name. Please send help...and a large hand-tossed pepperoni with bacon from Domino's.
Spherical Orc Turd thank you! I've got some creepy true crime content coming out and I'm worried about my channel name jiving with it. It's very difficult to make the decision.
Spherical Orc Turd oh, and I approve your pizza choice.
Excellent review as always
.. hard to re-heat starch (potatoes, rice, pasta, etc) & maintain it's texture. The pizza reviews were awesome.
I use a cast iron skillet with a lid on it to reheat my pizza on the stove top, with a few sprinkles of water in the pan (not on the pizza or under it) right before placing the lid. The crust gets extra crispy and the top gets gooey and brown if you've preheated the lid as well. Takes about 5 minutes.
Man your subs are starting to grow quickly. I was surprised you didnt have that many a year ago. I think you'll be at 100k before years end. Congrats !
Edit: shit looks like you'll be at 100k before the month ends. Maybe 200k years end.
If I still lived in a dorm I'd be really tempted to pick up that range mate pro which is selling for $60 now, your videos really sold me.
The amount of frozen food I eat is much less now and a toaster oven cooks whatever we eat now, leaving the oven as a nice countertop.
AKA How to claim an entire pizza for yourself.
Great vid!
I love the fries segment. "No... Nah... No.." :) AND "...before the cheese disintegrates" :) AND "I shouldn't have eaten all that..." Subscribed. Also just got my Range Mate Pro today based, in large part, on your video. Let you know how it turns out but thanks for your hard work so far! A satisfied Tuber and Best Wishes for 2019!!!!
I love using my air fryer to reheat. You're making me wish I didn't give my Rangemate away to my MIL😂She loves it. Snowflakes, how dare you use sliced cheese, LOL. Thanks for the review😃
Christy's Cooking Channel
I went on eBay to start looking into buying a Rangemate Pro or Reheatza. I found they're basically the same thing as the CorningWare MW3, which came out in the 80s. All of the above are based on searing things after heating the surface hot enough. I got a CorningWare MW3 for $15 + shipping. I just used it the 1st time & love it! The only difference is not getting the pretty grill lines, as it's flat.
Thanks for the freakin' reviews, always some helpful info.
A frying pan with a lid works wonders for me. If pizza is a little dry, I add a few drops of water. Best pizza re-heat, ever.
Best wishes from the wet coast, Vancouver
So far your the only RUclipsr that reads on products I saw some other videos from you aspecially for the Gotham Steel Smoke-less Grill. Other people who do videos on it don't read well since they get Smoke-less confused with Smokeless.
Lol “snowflakes “ I’m so happy ur calling ppl out on their crap. I hate when ppl make up their own instructions for products.
Was another great video with you testing so many different foods.
Ps that spatula looked interesting.
Coryn May I know right. Some people like trailer park food.
Sliced cheese is trailer park food lol
I have a Reheatza - I agree the RangeMate is probably the superior product.
That said - I *love* my Reheatza. For the single person, it is handy as hell. The key is all about the pre-heat, and follow-through.
You're basically making a small oven. I pre-heat for 3.5 minutes, and then hit three slices for another 3 minutes.
Works awesome, especially for something I got on the Walmart discount rack for 10 bucks.
Whoa!! Except for the differences in hair and glasses, you and your son look like clones. Great review too. ;-)
Hah thanks Mike!
Great review! i was wanting to buy the Reheatza. Thanks!
I'm jealous of your homes power distribution, If I use more then 1 appliance at once im heading to home depo for a new fuse :/
manontherun111 your appliances should be spread out on diff fuses. If i use my toaster and then microwave same time it trips a fuse but if i start microwave 1st then toaster its fine.
Microwaves use a lot of watts when starting called surge watts, same as a fridge motor cycling on and off.
yeah, My set up is very bad, 6 fuses, 5 for individual LIGHT BULBS and 1 for the fridge, stove, plugs ect.... rubbish,
I respect your dedication to your craft, you don’t take shortcuts
The pizza super fast short order cook thing made me laugh, way to parallize!
I just realized I have the exact same gas stove. Just got it for Christmas & man is it an amazing stove/oven!!😀
My son and I tried making grilled cheese with the other cheeses we had in our fridge about a year ago and we quickly realized nothing else tastes like a true grilled cheese sandwich more than plain white bread (we do use Texas Toast occasionally) and American cheese singles!
No disagreement here!
The melting properties of the kraft single style cheeses are what makes it nice and gooey. Ive tried actual cheese that i sliced and it just doesnt melt the same
the plastic sheets that come with the cheese are a good snack for me
plus its good for the environment!
I am on my second Rangemate. I love cooking with it. Saves time everything turns out perfect. I have made fruit cobbler which is yummy. My first one however The rubber started to crack around the lid and I found another one Facebook marketplace for $20! What a find! love your reviews
Should’ve tried the crust. I hate hard as a rock pizza.
True! I know what you're talking about, and none of the crusts were hard like that. :-)
Freakin' Reviews awesome, thank you for he reply! Big fan btw. Now I know I’m going out and buying the range mate.
Just use a regular pan in the oven much easier for me but I'm glad I found you because I was curious about the reheatza!
Who the hell complained about sliced cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich?
I have been using the read contraption I saw in your show and "my" secret is butter spraing everything tp and bottom.. Crispylicious !
Cold pizza is delicious. Idk why anyone reheats it. Blasphemy!
I like my pizza uncooked entirely. Straight up raw dough
Probably to kill off the bacteria that develops on it overnight.........
I used to like cold pizza when I was a kid, but as an adult I think you'd be insane to eat pizza cold. It's just laziness.
Certain brands and/or topping combos taste better reheated, but around my house it usually don't make it that far.
Nothing like chewing on cold grease.
The hair part 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 I'm dying over here
And the microwave safe part 😂 😂 😂 good review man
The snowflake comment had me laughing hahaa
Mark Cano same haha
It made me laugh since it came from a snowflake XD.
Holy Crap! You were seriously Quarterbacking that operation! That was wild!
Ughh, I hate it when people just take food that isn't theirs without permission.
Just picked up a Reheatza at Wally World for $15. Great channel, love the vids!
Hahahaha lololol @ snowflake comment 😁😁😁😁😁 another great review, Brandon is a natural for the camera!
I appreciate how in-depth it was
7:46 / 9:59
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
I know who that's from. 😆
I have the Reheatza, and it's ok. But I've run into the same issues as he did. Think I might pick up the other one if it goes on sale..
best way to reheat pizza? Throw it in a cold oven , turn it on 350 and cook through the preheat and then 10 minutes after ....Youre welcome
Guardians Creed throw it on a dry skillet on medium heat for 5 mins, cover loosely with foil to help heat it through. Preheat plus 10 mins almost 20 mins to reheat pizza no way. Skillet is way faster and crispier. You're welcome.
Thanks for the info. Great videos as always. More videos plz
I am surprised you had all those goodies still in the fridg with your youngin in the houses. :) I like my Air fryer for pizza reheating. Good as always James,
My husband and I are both disabled so after your review of the rangemate pro I bought one. It has made it so much easier for us to eat healthier food with minimal effort.
I can already tell, I hate that spatula.
I think the air fryer oven would be more convenient as you can see your food when it's done and not like with the microwave products you have to take it out and check. I know I'll be getting that air fryer oven. Great review as always and love those tongs for sure. Will have to look for them as they are weird and funky lol.
this video wore me out!
I have received a lot of kitchen gadgets I ordered based on your reviews. Thank you and I can’t wait to use them. as far as reheating pizza, I’ll stick to my toaster oven. And one more vote for slice American cheese. Not the individually wrapper but Kraft Deluxe Sluces.
You look younger then your son XD
I'm a crispy freak and Range Made Pro seems almost as terrific as my old fashioned gas stove range (bestest on everything!.)Loved seeing Brandon :) missed seeing Bailey and her enthusiasm to be around. You are always an awesome reviewer. * Looking forward to that spatula review - hurry up!*Thumbs up to the sky, James :)
Yo dude I just realized we have the same microwave
Fluffy Puppies lol
Lol...love your sound effects when moving the 🍕. Thank you,I'm getting the range mate pro.
If you don't eat pizza cold then you're not living
Absolutely the best... especially at 7am and hungover.
Tom Gibb I love cold pizza, but refrigerator-level cold is a bit too much...so, technically, I guess I love room-temperature pizza.
FACT: cold pizza is better because the flavors have had more time to meld together
Bonus FACT: reheated pizza is better than cold or freshly made pizza for the same reason
*The More You Know*
xXLiLJokerXx - That's true for just about everything, especially things like soups and sauces. When we make leftover onion soup, it tastes even better than fresh. Mostly it's the texture you lose by refrigerating something, like steaks and french fries.
Yuk
FYI, I only use sliced cheese for grilled cheese! (I learned it from my mom who was the best cook I ever knew). I use Velveeta Singles
Your face after eating the Del Taco fries out of the Reheatza..,.priceless☺️ Also new subbie☺️
i have a cast iron griddle, when i reheat pizza i toss the griddle in the oven at around 300 for 5 or so minutes then toss my pizza slices on it for 2-5 minutes. nice crispy leftovers every time.
Great review. Using scientific principals. Like that you had a control group. Tip put oven on about 250 and wrap pizza in foils and put on a cookie sheet for about 20-25 minutes.
I like your shirt at around 14:44. GO PACK GO! Honestly though the Range Mate Pro seems to be the better one
a great review and i have wonder about them both... but for the future notes... i never found once fries gets cold .. there done.. little to no way to get them crispy again for there starches won't allow it to... another advantage maybe more or less for the reheatza is that it is flat.. so this could possibly give folks idea of doing some other odd cooking such as eggs for sandwiches for example using it as a griddle ... so it is a give a and take depending on the creativity of the user
Great video as usual! I'm curious to see how something like French toast (fresh battered) would come out. I thought maybe you'd get a nice combination of results from browning it on the surface and baking it at the same time. Assuming there is also some heat convection inside the unit.
Great review. Thinking about picking up a rangemate now.
Every channel I sub to blows up. Just watch....your channel is going hit 100 k very soon !!!!!! Keep up the great content.
I have a microwave that is also a convection oven. I can use either or both at the same time. Does pizza re-heat like it was fresh out of the oven. Although I spray it with water on both sides. If you leave pizza in the frig, in the pizza box, it leaches moisture from the pizza. Spraying it with water makes it more crispy and not that awefull dried out next day pizza.
Nice comparison. The range mate pro has $30 off coupon on Amazon which brings the price down to $50. This is a great looking product for people who only own a microwave.
Hey James awesome review as always. i was wondering how the range mate pro does with bacon?
Hey man great review once again and I love the channel! Ive been seeing alot of infomercials for Egglettes lately, would love to see a review on them sometime
Thank you, and I'm just waiting for Egglettes to arrive!
Freakin' Reviews Sweet im lookin forward to it! Must be one of those test market items haha
FYI, I finally received them, so I'll be working on that review starting tomorrow!
Freakin' Reviews Nice! Im lookin forward to seein your take on them. Cheers from Iowa!
Hey dude, congrats on 73,000 subscribers!
Thanks!
One year later over 200,000+ more subscribers.
2 years later 500,000+ subs!!! Congrats Freakin' reviews!!! Ur content is amazing yooo!!
I ordered the range mate pro from Amazon. My order had 8 items in it and I had selected to have all items delivered on the same day. They encouraged us to do so by telling us “less boxes, less waste, etc”. Well that didn’t work out so well. I got them split between 2 days and in 3 boxes. But back to the RangeMate Pro. I was excited to get it after watching your review and I opened it up about an hour ago - which was the minute I brought it in the house. However, I’m very much in the dark with it … the instruction booklet that came with it is written in 100% Korean (?). Aside from it saying “Range Mate’ on the front cover of the booklet there isn’t a stitch of English. Makes me wonder if I received a genuine Range Mate Pro or if it’s a knockoff version made in Korea.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
