Philly Food Guide

Seven of these ten griddles claim to span two burners, at 16.75 to 20 inches long. Not one states the burner spacing it was sized for.

Ten griddle kits claim 5 to 38 pieces. Count only the metal tools and the range is 3 to 10, and the 38-piece kit holds six, the same as a 14-piece kit.

Ten camping griddles, plates and stove kits: four state burner BTUs, three state the cooking surface in inches, and not one states both.

Seven of ten tabletop propane griddles print a BTU figure, from 13,500 to 45,000. The three Blackstones, the best sellers here, print none.

Seven of these ten propane griddles have a lid. Five are covers for when the burners are off; two are sold for cooking under.

Ten extra large countertop ovens state their size in seven different units. Only three print interior dimensions.

Ten convection toaster ovens compared. Four put a number on the fan, from 25% faster to 10X the power, each against a different baseline.

Five of ten listings say smart. One joins Wi-Fi, two ship a food probe and seven turn a rotisserie, so the label tells you little.

Ten small toaster ovens, and all ten print an outside size. Only four print watts, from 800W to 1800W, and none states a clearance.

Six of these ten mid-size microwaves stop at 1000W. The first 1200W oven, the Toshiba ML-EM45P(BS), also adds 0.4 cu ft over its 1000W sibling.

Seven of these ten small microwaves are 0.7 cu ft and 700W. Only two of the seven state a turntable size, and the biggest box here is a 0.7.

Only 3 of 10 indoor grill and air fryer listings give a grate size, all Ninja. The 6-quart claims elsewhere never say basket or pot.

Ten inverter microwaves compared. One listing explains on/off cycling, one labels output and input watts, and four are exactly 1200W.
