That is what we are asking as the guys cook using an all in 1 food steamer.
The one thing we learned is that the process of steaming food is slow and in a 1 hour show, we barely got the meal cooked before we ran out of time.
We tried to reproduce the beautiful food shown in the pictures on the manufactures website, but we clearly did not have the same luck.
The food was in fact wonderful and the steamer worked like a charm aside from the fact that once you set the time, you have to let it cook for the full time. There was no way to turn the dial backwards or remove the time.
The juice from the chicken and vegetables that Mr Dog poop prepared all dripped into the top collection tray and made a nice chicken soup and could have potentially been rendered down or made into gravy.
Was it convenient?
It was nice to have a separate appliance to steam food, especially for a large group or dinner party.
It can be set on a table or off in another section of your house or office or video studio and gives you extra cooking capacity for under $25.
Since it is a complete appliance, the clean up is a bit more difficult than having a steam on a regular pot on a stove. But depending on your needs, this was a good review and will get regular use in both the Dog Poop household and the Macolino residence.
The guys only burned themselves a few times and they got a meal out of it, so as far as podcast go, this one ended with any major problems.
So be careful before you crank it to 60 minutes unless you want to cook for 60 minutes.
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
Soldering Motherboards for Kids OK, they are not really motherboards, they are just small printed circuit boards with simple projects for kids as part of our STEM week projects. These projects are typically under $10 and vary in scope and complexity. We tried a clock and a musical board. The first word I have to describe these is SMALL! Tiny parts, hard to read and difficult to understand, but isn't that the point? To challenge young minds with projects that make them think. Projects that build on deductive reasoning and get them off their phones for a few minutes a day. These simple projects and a less than $10 soldering iron will keep kids busy for hours. It is a good entry project into electrical engineering, helping kids understand basic components and how the boards are assembled. At one time back in the 70's you could walk into any ...read more
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
P51 Mustang Erector Set Review - ***** So.... we thought it would be a great idea to review STEM (Science, Technology, Engeering and Math) projects on The Man Show Live. After all, if it is made for kids from 6-12 years old, it should be a snap for two way more than 12 year old guys to demonstrate. This one caught us by surprise. We thought it would be easy. We thought we were as smart as any 6 year old. We were wrong! So what happened? How hard can it be to assemble a model of a P51 Mustang? Well, when we opened the kit we realized were were literally building the plane from scratch. The kit had either 285 pieces or 258 pieces depending on weather you believe what is says on the box or the directions. They both had different numbers so the kit was even ...read more
