No, you have not stumbled onto an infomercial Web site, nor is this some pre-built marketing page for a cooking gadget.

My name is Ryan, and I own a GT Xpress 101, a gift from my mum. She got one, too.

If you're not familiar with this bugger, it's a device not too unlike the George Foreman Grill, except that instead of being a grill in terms of surface, the GT Xpress is built with a pair of wells, into which you can put just about anything to cook.

It will fry an egg in two minutes. Scramble one, too.

It makes perfect burritos. You can pour just about anything on top of a biscuit, and out will come a "whatever bake," in just six minutes. You can cook rice and veggies.

You can bake a slice of cake, the perfect dessert solution for a single person, given that normally we'd have to bake the entire cake to enjoy a slice. You can also bake muffins and cook pancakes in a jiff.

OK, just to clarify: I'm not getting a dime from these people. But I'm officially a believer.

If you haven't stumbled onto Cathy Mitchell's television infomercial or haven't heard of this gadget, you are totally missing out on one of the kitchen innovations of the decade. And, I say this for two reasons:

1. The GT Xpress allows you to cook for one or two. Yes, truth is, I'm not that much of a lazy goon. I enjoy cooking. I don't like spending all my hard-earned cash on eating out. However, it's tough to cook for one, well, at least to cook anything worthwhile.

2. The GT Xpress is the easiest thing I have ever had to clean in the kitchen. Seriously. I've used blenders, mixers, juicers, the Foreman grill -- all of which require significant effort to clean.

Cleaning a GT Xpress 101 requires my kind of effort: Grab a wet cloth and wipe out. That's it. Its non-stick surface keeps everything from sticking. It's freaking uncanny.

Now, for the bigger picture as to why I've posted this: The device comes with a recipe book, and customers have the option of subscribing to future recipe books. That's their hook to get the customer into residual spending.

However, we didn't want to do that, ergo, I've decided to post non-recipe-book items to my site in hopes of giving other GT Xpress users ideas. Truth is, with a dab of imagination, you can cook anything on this bad boy.

For example, on Monday night, I made two chicken and black bean burritos.

I took a flour tortilla and spread a light bit of Ranch dressing on it. I added several chunks of Southwestern Grilled Chicken to it and poured drained black beans on top before sprinkling the entire mixture with cheese.

Fold it over. Stick one in each well of the GT Xpress and cook for seven minutes.

Comes out like a champ, and given that I only ate one of them, I have dinner for tomorrow night, too. Or breakfast. Or whatever.

For those who are gluten intolerant (celiacs, for example), I think you could make the tortilla be corn. I'm not sure how well the corn tortilla would do in this device. I haven't tried, but I will at some point.

And if I stumble upon anything else that's worthy of posting, in terms of a GT Xpress recipe, I'll do so right here.
