Gimmicky Infomercial Cookware

[Anonymous No.6088968]

Gimmicky cookware thread.

Have you guys ever bought infomercial cooking equipment like the Bacon Wave? Did it work as advertised?

The only thing I ordered after seeing it on an infomercial was the Magic Bullet. It's alright, but it doesn't work as well as I imagined it would.

[Anonymous No.6088973]

No

I got one of these things for $1 at a thrift store.
It's a whisk, flipper, and it has a latch that opens up and it turns into tongs. Not bad. The plastic handle is flimsy but I don't see it breaking anytime soon.

[Anonymous No.6088979]

I bought an onion holder. It's one of those cheap products where the packaging has just plain card on the back (no text or anything).

Used it once, washed it and now it sits in a drawer next to the nutmeg grater, bottle brushes, scouring pads and the rubber ball device that tells you when your soft boiled eggs are done.

It'll work, if that's what you're asking. It's just a glorified pull-through sharpener.

I don't like bacon but my parents use one of these bacon trays for the microwave and it works fairly well.

the magic bullet is also pretty good all things considered, I mean it gets its job done, but its motor is pretty damn weak and having to wait between 15 second blends was annoying. I would call it a good purchase though if you're one of those weirdos that only ever uses a blender for smoothies

Set it and forget it". Parents bought that thing 14 years ago and it still works like a dream. I forgot the guys name that sold it on T.V. Ninja blender works well. I use
k-cups with reggie coffee in the mornings and I used to sell cut-co. for a summer a dozen years ago. Its not like im trying to carry a drink and a hand full of chip in one hand to the couch or something. if they made something for that......

I found one for $20 or so at a thrift store when I was in high school and bought it. Worked alright, but if you used the listed times it came with (5 minutes a pound for chicken or whatever, they were written on the casing near the timer) everything would always come out underdone.
I dropped the door on it a half dozen times because it comes off way too easy.
You also have to grease where the rotisserie meets the casing or it makes the loudest, most awful squeaking.
The chicken was awesome, but if I wanted to buy another rotisserie I'd just end up getting a motor unit for my outdoor grill.

The gimmick is that its a small, feminine blender with little baby cups that have screw on lids so you can make your slim fast smoothie and pop it in your purse before going to yoga class

A 'real', non gimmick blender is the full sized one for $20 that holds half a gallon and can be an impromptu food processor

The magic bullet isn't a real blender you moron.

[Anonymous No.6091709]

Got one of these. The most baffling thing about it is just how fucking heavy the pan is. Picture carrying 5 frying pans of the same size, its at least that.

Its alright though. Kind of cool if you get good at it just because you can inject them with stuff, but they're kind of a hassle to turn and make and when pancakes are like the easiest food in the first place you feel like a moron to have to learn how to do it in some complex fashion.

Not going to lie... these things do work... on some blades. On others they needlessly pull of material and leave a fucked edge.

It's more a right tool for the right job sort of thing. If you're cleaning a shit-ton of fish with a soft knife provided to you, then yeah those things work pretty well. If you only use a a thin boning knife occasionally, then yeah.

Keep that fucker away from my good knives though.

It grinds stuff up. The gimmick is that its easier than a mortal and pestle. He basically made a ball mill, just this one has only one ball instead of lots. Ball mills are a thing where you put what you want pulverized into a container with hard balls/cylinders, then you set it on a set of rollers to rotate, the balls tumble and crush your stuff.

to all the cunts talking positively about the magic bullet, you get the same fucking use out of a $20 bar blender and a mason jar for fuck sakes, and if you're worried about glass you can just get those completely passable plastic mason jar mugs that hipsters like at the moments and still save ~$50
