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.
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
$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
