In Monday's episode the guys were on fire, well not on fire more like burned all over by the pocket sandwich maker.
It is just plug in and go with no on off switch or temperature control. So be ready when you plug it in, it gets hot very fast.
Does it make sandwiches?
It sure does and many were approved by Fat Chris who appeared on camera long enough to take bites out of the very hot sandwiches and scurry back to his desk to finish eating them.
The guys tried traditional grilled cheese with limited success but also got creative with pizza pockets, chili dog pockets, hand and Swiss, roast beef and provolone and a few mixes including trying to cook an egg that ended up mostly on the table.
Overall the appliance we OK and that is just OK.
The sandwiches mostly ended up dripping out of the cooking surface but that was not so bad as Jeff ate huge globs of melted cheese and declared the appliance a successful cheese melter.
Cooking a raw egg did work inside the bread but was not as successful directly on the cooking surface.
The energy was upbeat and the banter was great as usual. If you want to see the sandwich maker in real action make sure you you check out this episode on the man show on youtube and join us daily for new live broadcasts.
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
Chefman Deep Fryer Review Can this tiny little appliance deliver good fried food? Is it safe? Is it worth $30? The Man Show Live is determined to find out with a live review of this product. Jeff as usual, takes the easy way out with a bag of Arby's pre prepared curly fries and a can of spam he must have found on the side of the road and some potato chips. But Mr Dog Poop just goes for broke with everything in the kitchen. Fried MushroomsFried ShrimpPancake SausagesOnion RingsPotato WedgesFried Dough 3 Frying Batters, Pancake mix, beer batter and traditional flour and eggs are used along with bread crumbs, seasoning mixes as the guys look for innovations in traditional food man style. The device itself was great, very little splashing, more than adequate heat and just big enough for a plate of food without wasting a huge amount ...read more
$25 Panini Press Review 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 ...read more
