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.
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
Chemistry For Kids? Review of Children's Chemistry SetThe guys made a big splash on today's episode of The Man Show Live with a review of a chemistry set for kids age 3+. Of course, Mr Dog poop is in his element because he runs the world's largest dog poop DNA lab and is a true scientist having been credited with developing the genotyping panel being used to identify DNA in dog poop with that of the source. So doing experiments made for 3 year olds should be easy. On the other side of the camera Jeff Macolino thought he was going to learn how to build a meth lab. He came dressed for the part as a character from the hit show Breaking Bad, a story about Walter White, a modest high school chemistry teacher who transforms into a ruthless kingpin in the local methamphetamine drug trade. While it ...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
