I am amazed that some idiot bread company had the nerve to try to sell crustless bread. For parents who have kids who don’t want to eat the crust, and are too lazy to spend the seconds it takes to cut them off.
I am even more amazed that this has been a quite successful product.
Well, cut-off crusts are typically thrown away, while according to the site you linked IronKids recycles its removed crusts. I hate being wasteful, so if I had kids that hated crust I might buy crustless bread for that reason. It’s not always a matter of laziness.
I tried using the Perfect Pancake once. (I didn’t buy it - my girlfriend’s grandmother did and said she couldn’t get it to work, so she let me try.) I only managed to get pancake batter all over the stove, twice. I’ll stick with my electric griddle and spatula, thank you very much.
How about those pre-made PB&J sandwiches? For when you’re too rushed to actually open a jar yourself…
You mean the Smuckers contribution to gastronomic sloth?
The Unclviny hard boiled egg program:
Eggs must be boiled hard!.
pour off the hot water.
fill pot with cool water, wait 3 or 4 minutes (at least).
roll eggs on the divider between the sinks cracking the shells all over (and here is the key!) breaking the “shell liner”.
Peel under a stream of cool water (this greatly reduces clean up and the little shell fragments go away).
I eat a lot of egg salad and this system has been developed over years of “testing”.
Bastards, now I must have egg salad

You’ll get my cherry pitter when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands. My mom can pit cherries quickly using a paring knife, but she’s had decades of practice. I find it much easier to use the pitter.
And what’s your problem with home ice cream makers? It’s fun to make ice cream at home.
I think he means Smuckers contribution to gastronomic lunacy
I don’t agree with all the kitchen type gadgets being sold on television, but some of them I can see would be more effecient in that they’d be quicker overall because less mess would be made. I mostly do things the “old fashioned way” in the kitchen, but I myself, would like a pasta pot. This is because I have small hands, and on days when my arthritis is acting up, it’s just too risky to hold a plate over a pot with hotpads, while I pour out the water because the collander is lost again.
Bread making machines can be useful, my parents own one, and use it a good deal. Ice cream making machines, if you really like ice cream, why not? Ever had the disappointing experience of tasting old fashioned ice cream flavored with rock salt because the inner can leaked? Ick! I have at summer camp, it wasn’t fun because we’d spent an hour or two rolling that can back and forth among ourselves to churn the ice cream mixture, only to have all that time wasted because the smaller can’s lid leaked, and let rock salt in.

This is precisely the method that I use, with a pretty good rate of success. Generally, out of two dozen eggs, I’ll have between one and three eggs that are too ugly to use as deviled eggs for company. I consider this acceptable, and I put the ugly eggs aside for egg salad, or to dice up and use as salad topping.
I must confess that I would own a home cotton candy machine if I could find one that I believed would hold up to my use. Well, I’d one one like that if I didn’t have this little diabetes problem, too. I guarantee that if I had a well-made home CC machine, I’d use it frequently. I LOVE cotton candy, and it’s hard to find it anymore, unless it’s that nasty stale prepackaged stuff. I can’t eat a whole cone of it these days, but it would be nice to share a cone with my daughter every now and then.
Don’t be dissin’ Smuckers Uncrustables! They’re great for packing a lunch in the morning. And the grilled cheese ones are done in 30 seconds and don’t leave crumbs. I’ll admit I thought we were living in the last days when I first heard of them, but they’re a staple at our house.
Obviously, the only sensible way to peel eggs is while wearing your rejuvenique
That is just plain creepy.
Still, it wouldn’t be a total waste of money. They say the mask looks like something out of “Phantom of the Opera” or “Silence of the Lambs.” To me it looks like the saucer-people of a thousand cheapie UFO movies: Halloween costume!
Don’t be dissin’ the egg slicer either. That is a cool and nessesary implement to get perfectly sliced eggs. With my fat fingers its hard to the the ends sliced to the specified width. But with the egg slicer I get a perfectly even Hard-boiled egg and mustard sandwich.
Oooohhhhh…kitchen crap! I love kitchen crap!
What is this device? Where can I get one?
(Did I mention that I love kitchen crap?)
Oh, and yes, I can usually find whatever kitchen crap I happen to be looking for in my kitchen when I need to use it.
I use my garlic squisher all the time, my 6-in-1 tongs are great for serving spaghetti and getting olives & pickles out of the jar, I haven’t gotten to use my new pitter for cherries yet - but use it for olives quite often, my strawberry stemmer works well and wastes less of the berry than a knife, I adore my rice steamer, etc, etc, etc.
I do not recommend the blooming onion machine, however. I can’t make a decent one no matter how I try.
Kitchen crap. I’m addicted.
When I make hard cooked eggs, as soon as boiling time is up, I pour off as much of the hot water as I can, then dump in a bunch of ice. As soon as the ice is melted, the eggs can be peeled or put in the fridge for future use. I can’t remember the last time I had an egg self-destruct on me.
Oh, and speaking of gadgets, anyone else have a Salad Shooter?? My MIL gave me one some years back, and I tried to use it. But it clogs so easily, and everything is cut on a curve, except for the nubby bits which won’t cut. It’s a pain in the butt to clean and store. If it hasn’t gone to Goodwill yet, it will before I move.
Oh, and one more thing - egg slicers work on mushrooms, too!
I dunno bout you guys but this is one of the “kitchen aids” I actually looked at and went wow.
For the average kitchen tard that can’t peel an egg this device will save him,well nothing.
But a small food wagon or deli business might find this device (if it works as shown) indespensible.
Salad Shooters are only good for small amounts of food. They work much too slowly to really be useful. They have too many parts, which tend to get lost too easily. IF you have a child of about 8 years or older, the child might enjoy shredding veggies with adult supervision. My child is 24, and is quite adept with a knife. In fact, she’s very good at butchering her father’s hunting trophies, better than he is!
I’ve got a food processor, but it’s been living in the storeroom for about 15 years now. My knives and hand graters, though, get used several times a week. I find that the convenience of a food processor is outweighed by the bother of disassembling, washing, and reassembling it.
I love kitchen gadgets. I only have a few, but I loooooove looking at them. I want a garlic smoosher and salt/pepper grinder.
I want one of those pasta pots, just so I have one less dish to wash. Also, so I can drain meat. Sprainers are fine for pasta, but it’s hard to drain meat grease from a heavy pan with a glass lid. Ug.
I have:
Gorge Foreman Grill - Step-mom gave me money to buy one, so I did. Great for steaks and hamburgers, for even cooking without me having to flip it (I’m a bad flipper). Cleaning’s kind of a hassle, tho.
Smoothie Maker - I love smoothies. It works very well, except it’s loud, and loud noises scare me. Their “serving sizes” equal about a juice cup, so I have to double everything. I love the nozzle. And it’s powerful! Chews right through rock-hard frozen strawberries and bananas. Never makes that engine-grinding noise.
Flipper/whisker thing: I got 2 for $5. Worth it, just for how easily it flips grilled cheese sammiches. I like that it folds flat. Haven’t tried whisking with it yet. I have a whisk for that.
The egg thing does seem goofy, tho. I have no problem peeling eggs under cold water.
My favorite part of the Eggstractor commercial is the “scientific explanation” of how it works:
All eggs have a small pocket of air at the top. This is called the “air pocket”.
No shit? So this little pocket of air here? You call it an…“air pocket”?!? Did your specially trained scientist come up with that name? I woulda never come up with that! You guys really do your research on these things, dontcha?
Despite that little bit of mockery,
A. Like unclviny, this commecial did put me in the mood for eggsalad. It was good. And yummy too. 
B. I kinda want one. :o I know, I know. What?! It looks like fun!
…I’m so ashamed.
