Time Trial posted:Who wants an egg penis? http://www.amazon.com/Rollie-Hands-Free-Automatic-Electric-Vertical/dp/B00C77LNR8 I hung out with a few other food goons a few months ago, and one of them brought a rollie as a joke. It, no word of a lie, actually makes super good eggs. We were completely flabbergasted.

A Fleshlight that produces eggs? I thought the only perk of Fleshlights is that they are never on their period.

I remember you guys talking about but I haven't been able to find many good reviews online. Are you sure it wasn't having good times with good peoples? I refuse to believe that thing makes decent food. Otherwise I'd have it in my cube at work.

I bought one as a laugh. The eggs are not bad because when they cook they expand enough to pop themselves out before they get overcooked I guess?

It's not hard to imagine something like that making a decent scramble if it heated evenly to just the right amount. Probably easy to engineer for a purpose built device.

It's easy to make fun of stuff like the rollie or hot dog weasel or whatever, and the commercials don't do them any favors, but they can actually do a lot for people with accessibility issues. People who physically can't use a stove can still fix themselves some eggs to eat or whatever under their own power. Point being, Alton's kind of a dick.

It's not a unitasker because it also serves as an attractive nuisance to suffocate neighborhood kids

Rollie is not a unitasker because you can use egg dildos for more than one thing

Ashens reviewed the Egg Master. Pretty funny watching the egg squirm and flop out. Money shot at 8:15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFP5mmPZe_c What a world, get rich by coming up with progressively retarded ways to cook the simplest-to-cook food.

There's also the stupid terra cotta pot thing. And the fact that he freaks out over the idea of anyone who's not a `professional' sharpening knives. I mean I'm not exactly in love with Kenji the way that the internet seems to be in love with Kenji, but as far as stupid food celebrities go he's way the gently caress better than Alton Brown.

I remember that, that whole stupid terra cotta pot with the ring of foil and whatever else. Even on a first viewing, my roommate and I discussed whether alton really expected anyone to run to lowe's and buy terra cotta pots and cinder blocks or whatever to smoke a piece of fish or whatever the gently caress that ep was about.

It's ridiculous and hypocritical but I always got the idea that his point gets muddled in Food Network's packaging. It seems like he's preaching that you don't need to spend a ton of money on crappy culinary gadgetry that people who don't cook think they need to make something, when you can be inventive and gently caress around with what you have on hand to figure out how to make food. It's not a bad idea, but the shtick gets old really quick, like the episode where he suggests putting handles on hardware store wire to cut cakes with and fails to mention that there are manufacturers that sell that exact thing pre-made for pretty cheaply. Like he's creating a new barrier for entry to cooking while trying to eliminate one?

I love the baking show. Everyone is just so nice to each other.
