I got a DEVO power-ziggurat helmet for Christmas.

Incidentally, that looks really useful. I could probably use one... maybe for the birthday.

i'm with MAF on this one. A lot of the specialized products you see on informercials and in stores are mainly for people that don't know their way around a kitchen.

Blenders and microwaves can be used to prepare a multitude of foods. Espresso machines and coffee makers prepare coffee, and are essential to properly preparing it depending on the grind of coffee. i'll give you toasters and rice cookers because of their limited use. On the other hand, you could quite easily toast using your oven's broiler and cook rice on your stove.

The difference is that the product Incognito got only works for pizza, or maybe subs for that Quizno-style grilled effect.

PIzzaz is a cool device and all but nothing makes pizza better than starting up a bbq with wood chips and putting a thick piece of wood over the grill then putting your pizza on top. The wood doesnt burn and the fire keeps hot and the pizza comes out good. Its also how i make my deep dish pizza but i put it in a dish and right on the fire.

While handy, the George Foreman cooks too fast. The outside of your food will be burnt to a crisp before the inside is done.

That pizza thing is a damn waste. Just use your oven. I'll bet you are stuck buying pizzas from the company that makes that stupid device, right?

If Presto is the only company that sells pizzas between 7 and 12 inches, then yes, he would be. Also, that company just sell kitchen appliances, not frozen food. So I think he's in the clear!

This thing would be handy for cooking food in dorm rooms and other places without an oven, but if you've got an oven and are not lazy/impatient, I don't think it would be worth the money. It seems suited for a bachelor's lifestyle :)

i wasn't saying or insinuating you didn't. :lol They also make those products for people who want to simplify certain cooking tasks. i'm not slamming the pizza thing at all. It's not something i'd get myself (i seldom make pizza and when i do i enjoy the work that goes into it), but it's perfect for a dorm room, or someone who doesn't want to heat the kitchen with one pizza. i usually hate these sorts of products, but it's hard to hate anything that's involved with making pizza. Or beer. We'll definitely need impressions on this.

It's been a year or so since i've used one, but it worked very well for fish. i could place herbs, lemon/lime slices, and a sprinkle of salt on salmon fillets and they'd be perfect four minutes later, with the flavors of the seasoning imbued in the fish. It's not good for raw vegetables because they basically dry out since they're mostly water, and the grill is designed to drain oil and fat from foods. Better to sautee them first, then toss them in the Foreman in the last fewm minutes of cooking.

And if you're having problems with hamburgers drying out, make them thinner, get a meat with more fat, or add a little minced raw vegetables to them. You can also batter them (top, bottom, and sides). Sounds odd, but when i was eating hamburgers, a good batter not only sealed the juices in, but it added to the overall taste of the burger.

You could probably toast round waffles on that too, they're round and in need of toasting...

Quick lets start list of circular food in need of toasting in order kill MAF's one function cooking gizmo hatin. I'll start.

This is why you thaw your meat first.

the geoge foreman grill is, dare I say, too dope to cope

I mean really, there is no better way to prepare grilled chicken breast, and it can cook a mean hamburg too. And just look at the fat that comes out! It doubles as entertainment while you wait for the meat to cook.

First tragedy, then farce.
I got a pizza pizzaz a few years ago for Xmas (maybe last year, I dont recall). The thing rocks. it makes the pizza's quickly and they taste a good deal better.

As for other uses, the thing kicks ass for toasting hamburger or hotdog buns.
