Hopefully without spending a fortune?

Its not always the best plasce to buy, but I always research those kinds of purchases on Amazon.  I love reading their customer reviews.  Sometimes their prices are low, sometimes they're freakishly high, but its a great place to find out which one you want to buy.

There was a post about them yesterday and a few girls said that they got there's at a thrift store for 5 or 6 bucks and that they are working great for them.  I may get one now. Other then that, I have no idea about them.

I got mine 5 or 6 years ago at Wal-mart. I've used it weekly since then for the most part. I paid $30 for it then. It doesn't appear that there are really any differences between it and more expensive ones.

Get one at a thrift store- you can always find tons of them there for dirt cheap. Just choose one that looks like it's in good shape and if you end up not liking it oh well- it's just $5. If you do buy from Goodwill make sure it has the little paddle that fits into the bottom of the pan.

Also, just an FYI: If you buy one you can almost always go to the manufacturer's website and download a new owner's manual/instructions for free.
