Egg Sandwich? Ribeye Steak? Rubens? Patty Melt? What will it cook?
As it turns out this little dynamo is pretty good for the under $25 price tag.
We actually made the mistake of trying to make Panini sandwiches rather than just using it as a small kitchen grill. The most success we had was cooking a previously frozen ribeye steak. Then we cooked a cube steak and made a patty melt and even cooked some sausage patties.
While the big challenge was to make Rubens, we may have over stacked the sandwich for the size of the Panini press.
Regardless, the grill out performed our expectations and it did burn us a few times.
We did have some complaints about the design, it was definitely not very user friendly and expect at least a couple burns until you get familiar with the set up. But isn't a good meal worth a couple burned fingers?
The grill also folded open to lay flat, but one side was clearly hotter than the other and cooking the top and bottom goes so much faster than just the underside.
By the end of the show we fed the entire crew and had everyone fighting over who was going to get the Ribeye. Of course that went to Fat Chris, or should I say he took it when nobody was looking.
Check out our live show Monday through Friday on YouTube at 6Pm eastern time.
We do product reviews, discuss politics, guns, girls... you know, man stuff for men.
Grab a beer, sit down and enjoy an hour a day drinking and chatting with the guys. We have an open chat and take phone calls from viewers to discuss your questions and topics of interest.
It is always a fun day on The Man Show!
STEM Electric Piano - Assembly and Review Friday's episode of The Man Show Live featured a PLAYZ Piano made for kids. Our overall opinion of the PLAYZ Piano was that it was a bit simple for kids over 5 years old and maybe not dynamic enough for kids to learn about electronics. It was one of the more expensive toys during STEM week at around $35 which could have bought a little more education in other items. The white keys did play, but the black keys were only part of the case and decoration only, so as far as a piano, it missed the mark and is not a good learning tool for music. It can be a fun toy for a 3 year old, but at that age, the chance of them wiring it up is slim. We could not really find any good points about the PLAYZ ...read more
$17 Personal Frying Pan - Is it big enough for a man size meal? Personal Frying Pan - Is it big enough for a REAL MAN? Our first impression was that it was small. But that may be the best part, portable, does not take up much space and in the end, it did cook a man size portion. One man at least. The cons were, too shallow, no temperature control and that the handle needed to be assembled from 3 parts which is something some men wont be able to do. Mr Dog Poop cooks sausage chili made with Italian sausage, onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes and kidney beans. It is a struggle to get all the ingredients into the shallow pan but in the end, keeping in a heaping pile did work. Once that finished, he attempted a Philly cheese steak with mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Jeff cooks ...read more
Beer & Donuts - A Cooking and Review of the Express Mini Donut Maker Oh so long ago when we decided to make donuts. Beer and donuts we called it and the premise was to make donuts on our desks while live on the air and drinking a load of beer and whisky. Well, we did just that with a mini donut maker, so pancake and cake mixes and a whole lot of mess! Mr Dog poop takes out a 1950's hand mixer and blends that cake batter into a frenzy as Jeff Macolino just keeps eating the donuts before they are even finished. Neither of these guys should be allowed anywhere near a donut making operation. But nonetheless, they power though an episode getting burned and eating what they called donuts but more resembled a 2 grade cooking project where more batter ends up on the table than ...read more
Building Solar Powered Robots This episode of the man show features the guys trying to build solar robots out of a kit made for 8 years and up. Seems like a simple task for 2 guys way up from 8 years old. But the task proves to be overwhelming for both of the hosts and in fact even with a degree in electrical engineering, Mr Dog Poop struggles to understand the basic component parts. Of course that degree was back when TV's were made with vacuum tubes and houses were built with fuses and not circuit breakers. So he is a bit dated to understand modern technology. And we can't forget about Jeff Macolino, his focus was all out on trying to assemble something that at least looked like a robot after Mr Dog Poop embarrassed him on the P51 broadcast when Jeff failed to complete the project. But ...read more
