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!
Reviewing 2 Bella Egg Cookers and the Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich MakerWhat a disaster, 2 guys drinking and cooking eggs in egg cookers and a sandwich maker. Hot dropped eggs, burned hands and Jeff eating eggs like he is at the county fair in an eating contest is what you will see in the episode of The Man Show Live. The guys manage to cook eggs and give the devices a thumbs up. But when they try to cook more the devices fail! The truth is, the guys may have been too drunk to realize that they never refilled the cookers with water, so there was no steam to cook anything. But of course they blame the appliances like true manly men. You might think after doing this so many times they would get good at it, but no, they seem to make the same man mistakes again ...read more
Watch the Full MRE Taste Test Video on YouTubeEating Expired Government MRE's Why would anyone eat expired MRE's? Seems like that would just be stupid and while we will admit, Jeff Macolino and Mr Dog Poop are not the 2 smartest men on the planet, they are not really that foolish. The fact is, the MRE's were sold on Amazon for around $15 each with a guaranteed expiration of 2 years from the date of the podcast. However, the items in the MRE's were clearly expired with clear evidence via packages of candy that had expired before the meals were even purchased. Our suspicion is that these were government surplus about to expire and some Amazon seller bought them to resell. This is dangerous since most people are completely unaware that they are expired and they contain meat, fish and proteins that do not last forever. If you purchased ...read more
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
