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!
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
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
Pocket Sandwich Maker Review 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 ...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
